Podcasts about predatory

If you were with us back in our early days, you remember we did a whole episode on redlining: the history of it, the literal red lines drawn on maps in the 1930s to keep Black and immigrant families out of the mortgage market, and how that legacy still shapes segregation and the racial wealth gap today. We're including that full episode, edited slightly for context, in this conversation.   What we didn't fully appreciate back in 2019 is that the episode wasn't just a history lesson where we were looking back in time. Rather, it was actually the opening scene of this update you're getting today.   A lot happened immediately after we recorded that episode that set the stage for everything that is occurring right now, in this second Trump administration, that directly impacts something that we care a LOT about: community, neighborhoods, and who gets to belong.  So we thought we'd revisit redlining as a way to show just how the fight for community itself is shifting over time, and how we're all impacted by federal policy shifts designed to target those of us who are most vulnerable.  We hope you listen, share widely, and think about these issues as we head into a contentious midterm season.   What to listen for: What redlining was, historically, and how it continues to impact our neighborhoods today Predatory lending practices that harm all of us The problems with gentrification The fight over "disparate impact" (i.e., showing that discrimination exists is enough, and you don't need to prove intent to discriminate) and its impact on equality

Manhattan prosecutors in New York played a troubling role in allowing Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse to continue largely uninterrupted. As journalist Jane Coaston detailed, a Manhattan assistant district attorney even petitioned to classify Epstein as a low-risk sex offender—opting to call for the most lenient category possible under the law. This decision had consequences: Epstein never registered in person with the NYPD as required, effectively sidestepping the mandatory check-ins every 90 days—even though a judge explicitly stated this would be a condition of his registration.Meanwhile, New York City authorities seemingly looked the other way. Epstein failed to report his address and skipped the mandatory check-ins for eight years, yet no enforcement actions were taken. In essence, local prosecutors and police enabled his pattern of offending to persist unchecked. By systematically failing to enforce New York's own sex-offender regulations, the state protected Epstein—rather than his victims—allowing him to evade accountability and continue preying on vulnerable girls.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein: the state of New York protected Epstein — not his victims | VoxBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

What if the fastest way out of predatory lending isn't a lecture on budgeting, but $50 saved at a time? That's the model behind Mint to Prosper Foundation, a savings marketplace built for asset-limited households to step away from payday loans and rent-to-own traps and build their first real financial cushion. Host Dr. Laura Scherck Wittcoff sits down with founder and Executive Director Nesha K. Brown, who turned the loss of both her parents and a period of homelessness into a peer-cohort savings program now operating in two states. Guest Nesha K. Brown, Executive Director & Founder, Mint to Prosper Foundation Nesha is a social impact strategist focused on financial empowerment and systems design, specializing in structured savings pathways that help asset-limited households step away from predatory lending and reach long-term stability. Her work is rooted in personal experience: after losing both parents by age 19, she was pushed into homelessness and had to unlearn and relearn everything she knew about money. What began as her own financial "social experiment" grew into a program that has since served over 1,500 people. What is Mint to Prosper Foundation? Mint to Prosper Foundation is a nonprofit savings marketplace that helps unbanked, underbanked, and asset-limited households build their first financial safety net and move away from predatory lending. Its core offerings include: The Community Savings Program, a 12-week hybrid cohort model combining an in-person opening retreat, virtual workshops, one-on-one financial coaching, and an online peer community, culminating in an in-person closing retreat and certificate Purpose, a fintech app currently in production that helps users build micro savings habits and connects them to safer financial pathways, expected in app stores by late 2026 Active programming in Baton Rouge, Louisiana (Nesha's hometown) and Tulsa, Oklahoma, with each region running its own opening and closing retreats Key Topics Covered From personal crisis to nonprofit After her father's death at work, Nesha discovered her survivor benefits, meant to be her safety net, had been misused due to his financial illiteracy. Determined to change the trajectory for herself, she began teaching herself financial literacy and sharing what she learned online. Within six months, at age 20, she had earned $55,000 simply talking people through budgeting and credit basics, an accidental start that organically grew into Mint to Prosper Foundation. The pilot program In 2024, Mint to Prosper received a grant from Louisiana State University to run a social experiment with 30 unbanked or asset-limited participants, in partnership with Chase Bank, helping them build a first $500 safety net over ten weeks. The average participant was 34 years old, had never saved more than $800, and had experienced some form of financial trauma, insights that shaped the program's focus on micro habits and behavior change rather than large, intimidating savings goals. The pilot's success, including one participant who leaned on her cushion during a Louisiana hurricane rather than meeting the full $500 goal, evolved into the current 12-week Community Savings Program. The highlighter exercise After her father passed, a financial coach had Nesha print her last bank statements and highlight her spending into needs and wants. Seeing her spending laid out visually was an awakening, showing her that her "wants" had surpassed her needs, and became a simple, repeatable technique she now teaches others: assess your reality, then ask what you're willing to sacrifice to change it. Predatory lending, up close Nesha shares her own early experience taking out a payday loan against a paycheck stub at triple the typical interest rate, and describes how loans marketed as two-week solutions trap borrowers for an average of five months. She and Dr. Laura also discuss rent-to-own furniture schemes, using Nesha's own washing machine and dryer purchase, paid at $30 a week, as an example of how affordable-looking payments can end up costing double the item's value. Nesha notes that the predatory lending industry has been extracting wealth from vulnerable communities since before World War II, an estimated $280 billion industry today. Turning awareness into action Rather than only warning people about the risks of predatory lending, Mint to Prosper reframes the conversation: showing participants what they could have done with the money instead, whether that's a certification, child care access, or another upward-mobility opportunity, so people see themselves as part of the solution rather than victims of the system. An intergenerational cohort Participants range from age 18 to their mid-60s. Nesha shares the story of a participant in her late 50s, a grandmother, who told the group she'd made "careless mistakes" raising her own kids but was determined to get it right for her grandchildren. For Nesha, it was a powerful reminder that it's never too late to reset, regardless of age, and that the work is fundamentally intergenerational. Advice for anyone feeling stuck Nesha's core philosophy: start small. Before you can save $500, you need to know how to save $50. She encourages people to assess where they are honestly, choose a micro starting point, and remember that, as she puts it, "Rome wasn't built in a day," but the bricks still count, no matter how small.

Shannan Herbert has watched many people walk past banks and the people-centered CDFI she leads on the same block, to take their financial business to check cashing places and liquor stores where the cost of cashing a check or taking out an emergency loan is extortionary. For years, CDFI associations, government agencies, and think tanks have reported on the millions of Americans who are unbanked and lack access to capital. As CEO of Washington Area Community Investment Fund (WACIF), which serves new and next-level entrepreneurs and small business owners in Washington DC's underinvested Wards 5, 7 and 8, Shannan wanted to know why people opted for such predatory establishments. In this episode of Power Station, she shares findings from WACIF's just-released report, Beyond Access: Addressing the Trust Gap to Unlock Responsible Capital. In listening sessions conducted in partnership with Onyx Therapy Group and Building Bridges Across the River, participants recounted interactions with financial institutions that left them feeling humiliated and unwelcome. The trauma they experienced led them to payday lenders whose practices are designed to keep low-income borrowers in debt. This report, followed by the creation of a changemaking financial product, will unlock systems transformation and personal opportunity.

Narcissistic abuse and predatory behavior often hide in plain sight — and this episode pulls back the curtain on exactly how. In this special crossover conversation, I'm sharing an episode from Dr. Kerry McAvoy's podcast, Breaking Free from Narcissistic Abuse, featuring her conversation with Don Hennessy. Don Hennessy is an Irish psychotherapist who has spent decades working directly with abusive men and their partners, giving him a rare, firsthand understanding of how predatory control actually operates. In this episode, Don and Kerry expose the hidden playbook these men use to infiltrate a partner's mind — often so gradually that she doesn't realize it's happening until she's already trapped in it. You'll learn what these predators are truly after, why the tactics are so effective, and why survivors so often walk away wondering how they missed the signs. If you've ever felt gaslighted, found yourself walking on eggshells, or struggled to explain a trauma bonding dynamic you couldn't quite name, this conversation will help you understand the mechanics behind it — and why it was never your fault. Go find Breaking Free from Narcissistic Abuse wherever you listen to podcasts, and follow Kerry for more.

Claire has spent nearly a decade writing emails, fixing onboarding flows, and tightening messaging for enterprise AI security, LiDAR tech, and competitive SaaS products — where a bad first impression costs everything. In this conversation, she pulls back the curtain on lifecycle marketing, the micro aha moment, the IKEA effect in onboarding, and why your offboarding experience is either a hidden growth lever or a slow revenue leak.If you're spending money to acquire customers and watching them quietly disappear, this episode will tell you exactly why — and what to fix first.Key Takeaways5:07 — Activation is the real growth lever. Most SaaS companies obsess over acquisition. Claire explains why a 5% lift in retention has more revenue impact than almost any ad spend — and why lifecycle marketing starts the moment someone clicks "sign up."6:23 — What lifecycle marketing actually means. It's not just a drip campaign. Claire breaks down the full journey: onboarding → value realization → feature expansion → offboarding — and why each phase is a marketing opportunity.8:29 — Predatory offboarding vs. strategic offboarding. Using Audible as the ultimate cautionary tale, Claire explains the difference between trapping customers and creating a graceful exit that keeps them in your world — and willing to come back.13:13 — The biggest onboarding mistake: empty states. Launching users into a blank dashboard is the fastest way to lose them. Claire explains what to do instead, and why collecting just 2–3 behavioral data points at signup changes everything downstream.15:02 — The IKEA effect in SaaS. A little friction is a good thing. Claire explains why making signup too easy actually reduces commitment — and how the cake mix that bombed (until they added eggs back in) is the perfect metaphor for onboarding design.16:33 — Stop collecting demographic data. Collect jobs-to-be-done. Knowing someone is a "senior manager at a 10,000-person enterprise" helps no one. Claire's framework: problem → motivation → outcome. That's the only data that moves the needle.19:53 — How to run customer interviews that actually work. The cardinal rule: ask "what" not "why." What was going on in your day? What led you to sign up? Inviting a story gets you gold. Asking for a justification gets you a polite non-answer.24:51 — Micro aha moments: the framework behind great onboarding. Don't make users complete a checklist before they see value. Map the big aha moments first, then reverse-engineer what tiny wins need to happen along the way.27:07 — Your pricing page is a micro aha moment. No pricing on your site? ChatGPT already knows. Claire's story of convincing a CEO to ask AI what their product costs — and the result — is a must-hear reality check.32:03 — Behavior-triggered emails beat time-triggered emails every time. Don't email users based on how many days have passed. Email them based on what they've done (or haven't done) in your product. Claire explains activation vs. adoption — and Slack's famous 1,000-message benchmark.35:54 — Why deals stall at no decision — and how to fight it. It's not usually the competitor. It's spreadsheets, internal politics, and the fear of being burned again. Claire's advice: empower the champion inside the company who's trying to get your tool approved.42:20 — The 30-day activation sprint. Claire's step-by-step playbook: optimize the sign-up page → add social proof → send a high-converting welcome email (60% open rate is achievable) → limit in-app prompts to three → A/B test subject lines before content.Tweetable Quotes"Your acquisition budget can't cover what a broken onboarding experience costs you." — Claire Heginbotham"It's not a churn problem. It's an activation problem." — Jeff Mains"Personality is your brand's moat. The more everything sounds the same, the more being human becomes a competitive advantage." — Claire Heginbotham"Don't discount friction. A little skin in the game increases commitment — that's the IKEA effect." — Claire Heginbotham"Ask 'what led you here' instead of 'why did you sign up.' One invites a story. The other asks for a justification." — Claire Heginbotham"Your real competition isn't another app. It's laziness and spreadsheets." — Claire Heginbotham"The company that empowers the internal champion best is the one they're going to fight for." — Claire Heginbotham"Stop asking 'why did you sign up?' Start asking 'what was going on in your life that made you go looking?' The story is where the real answer lives." — Jeff Mains"Assumptions are the mother of all f-ups." — Claire Heginbotham (quoting her first boss)"People don't leave a bad solution for a better one. They leave when they find someone who finally understands what they were actually dealing with." — Futureproof Founder closing thoughtSaaS Leadership Lessons1. The first 10 minutes determine everything. You can out-market every competitor and still lose the customer in the first session. If users don't reach a moment where your product means something to them quickly, they're gone — and no re-engagement campaign will save you. Treat the first 10 minutes like the most important sales conversation you'll ever have.2. Collect behavioral data at signup, not demographic data. Job titles and company sizes are noise. What matters is why someone showed up. Build 2–3 onboarding questions around jobs-to-be-done: the problem they're fleeing, the outcome they're imagining, and the motivation in between. That data powers every email, feature tour, and win-back you'll ever send.3. Design for micro aha moments, not checklist completion. Checklists train users to feel like they're working for your product instead of with it. Map your biggest value moments backward — what tiny realizations have to click first? Deliver those early and often. Every small "oh, I get it" moment is a deposit in the retention bank.4. Offboarding is a growth lever, not a white flag. How a customer leaves determines whether they come back. A graceful downgrade-to-free path, an honest exit survey, and a well-timed win-back sequence turn churned users into future buyers. Predatory offboarding (à la Audible) may retain users in the short term but destroys trust permanently.5. Your internal champion needs ammunition. In B2B, the person who signs the contract isn't always the person who found you. Someone inside that company is fighting to get your tool approved. Transparent pricing, clear ROI framing, and proof of support quality are weapons you hand them — and the company that arms them best wins the deal.6. Test assumptions with data, not debates. Most internal arguments about pricing, onboarding flows, and messaging are based on fear of edge cases that never happen. Before you sink time into back-and-forths about what might go wrong, ask: has it ever gone wrong? If the answer is never, ship it and measure. Assumptions are the mother of all f-ups.Guest Resourcesclaire@copyisland.comcopyisland.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/claireheginbotham/https://www.instagram.com/p/DE44XkOM6Jm/Episode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/https://jeffmains.com/books/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains

In this episode, Greg examines Alabama Senator Katie Britt's GAME Act, legislation designed to protect children and teenagers from the growing flood of online gambling advertisements. He explains how the modern gambling industry's business model often depends on attracting users at an early age, increasing the likelihood of creating lifelong customers and, for some, gambling addiction.Greg explores why this issue matters for families, what the proposed legislation would do, and why protecting minors from predatory gambling marketing should be a priority for policymakers and parents alike.

Exchange labor(s) with neighbor(s).The dark soil laced with slim roots swells and subsides beneath us. As the tide. Breathing. Who are you. Extinguish the implicit. We are the answer. Some of us are no longer breathing. I am used to defending the singularity of our experiences, but grow concerned about reducing the dead to their individuality. Redact redeem. We linger longer in blue light. We are not what we say or do.   Neighbors (III) Replace dog with brother. Take walks on burnt grass and return under treeless sky. Exchange directives for best practices. Practice your run along the fence line. Monarchs carry on along the highways lined with causal wildflowers. Extinguish your sense of silence. You let your dog shit in my yard. The ocean levels rise. Mortgage rates rise. Don't pretend to love one another. Turn your predatory beak. Redact the brackish ocean. Turn it black and red. Exchange ocean for consumption. Predatory lending of labor. Be still. We are the colony of bees in collapse and also the tractor trailer stocked with hives and the long driver on the CB radio and the farmers waiting for pollinators. See the red dust clouds rolling. See the black clouds closing. A tongue over a top lip. Bite hard and rain. Extinguish the dog barking. Redact the self. Exchange dog for children. Barking for howling. There is a wall beyond which our labor persists without us and we don't dare to look. Replace words with words. Yours or mine. We don't act upon what we see. Redact the sea. We are the murmurations leafing out over the highway. Pouring over the sky. We suffer decentered as we imagine stone. Human again. We don't know each other at all.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday!!! We get into a topic I've been thinking about a LOT lately: the postpartum anxiety I'm experiencing the second time around (it's a totally different beast than postpartum depression, AND the anxiety this time is split between two kids…). I share what's actually helping me (s/o to Michelle for the "text me every intrusive thought you have" technique

The incredible NACA mortgage allows NACA Members to purchase their homes with the following: Below is a structured summary of the Bruce Marks interview with Rushion McDonald on Money Making Conversations Masterclass, based entirely on the interview transcript you provided. All points and quotes are drawn from that source. Interview Summary Bruce Marks, founder and CEO of NACA (Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America), joins Rushion McDonald to discuss his four-decade mission to make affordable homeownership accessible to working families, particularly those historically excluded from the housing market. Marks explains how NACA fights predatory lending while simultaneously offering what he calls “the best mortgage in America”—characterized by no down payment, no closing costs, no fees, low fixed interest rates, and no reliance on credit scores. The conversation highlights NACA’s innovative programs, including converting Section 8 housing vouchers into mortgage payments, the $1 Homeownership Program for vacant properties, and large-scale, community-based homebuying events that process thousands of families in days rather than months. Marks frames homeownership as a tool for wealth-building, community stability, crime reduction, and racial equity. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of the interview is threefold: Educate listeners about alternative paths to homeownership that defy traditional mortgage industry norms. Challenge myths about credit scores, Section 8 recipients, and affordability. Promote NACA’s model as a scalable, nationwide solution to the housing affordability crisis and racial wealth gap. Key Takeaways 1. NACA’s Mortgage Model Is Radically Different No down payment No closing costs or fees Below-market, fixed interest rates Credit scores are not used; lending is based on payment history and financial behavior. 2. Predatory Lending Targets Vulnerable Communities Marks defines predatory lending as mortgages “structured to fail”, citing the 2008 housing crisis as a direct result of unaffordable loan structures that later doubled or tripled payments. 3. Section 8 as a Pathway to Ownership and Wealth NACA enables families to apply their Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers toward mortgage payments, allowing renters to build equity instead of enriching landlords. Over a 20‑year term, this can result in $200,000–$300,000 in personal wealth. 4. The $1 Homeownership Program Is a Game Changer Cities sell vacant homes or lots to buyers for $1, while NACA finances renovation or new modular construction—cutting costs by eliminating developers and enabling homes to be built for roughly $120,000 total. 5. Scale and Impact Matter NACA operates in all 50 states Newark event drew 25,000+ people over five days Over 75,000 homeowners served Foreclosure rate: 0.00012. Notable Quotes from Bruce Marks “We have the best mortgage in the country.”. “Predatory lending is a mortgage that is structured to fail.”. “What you’re doing is the wealth is now going to the person with a Section 8, not to the landlord.”. “We do character-based lending, never looking at someone’s credit score.”. “Homeownership is a safety issue, it’s an anti-crime issue.” Bottom Line The interview positions Bruce Marks and NACA as disruptors of the traditional mortgage industry, proving that affordability, scale, and advocacy can coexist. The message is clear: homeownership should be a right earned through responsibility and support—not a privilege restricted by wealth, credit scores, or predatory systems.. #BEST #STRAW #SHMS Support the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome back to Juicy Scoop! Today, I am sitting down with the legendary New York Times bestselling investigative author Michael Gross, and we are digging up the most scandalous, glamorous secrets from the worlds of high fashion and extreme wealth. Michael takes us inside the ruthless "modeling pyramid," uncovering how agencies like Elite operated on predatory behavior while stars like Cindy Crawford managed to stay completely untouchable. We dish on his hit books Model and Treasured Island, tracing the secret history of St. Bart's from its days as a pirate haven to a hyper-exclusive billionaire playground where David Geffen and Roman Abramovich dock their superyachts. Michael shares incredible behind-the-scenes stories of fighting off scary legal threats, getting banned from high-fashion runways, and the time Calvin Klein pulled a massive $5 million ad campaign just because Michael dared to write the truth. Plus, we talk about the toxic rise of Instagram selfie culture on luxury beaches and why I am officially trying to ditch the influencer vacation anxiety for good! -Elevate your summer wardrobe.

The billionaire David Sullivan has been accused of sexually exploitative and predatory behaviour by several women dating back to the 1980s. In a joint investigation with the BBC, The Times has spoken to seven women about their experiences. In his statement on 4 June, Sullivan announced his immediate resignation as joint-chair and director of West Ham, saying the “false allegations” had been “sensationalised” and none related to his time in football. He added: “After a lifetime spent building businesses in the adult industry in which I have met thousands of women, it is sadly inevitable that a small number of improper conduct claims are being made against me. I categorically deny these claims.” Before publication, Sullivan said that he reserved his legal rights in relation to “false or defamatory allegations” and would not be commenting further at this stage.This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.

What drives a compulsive offender to suddenly alter their signature behaviors and shift target demographics? This episode explores the psychological mechanisms behind "predatory drift," detailing how evolving violent fantasies alter a serial killer's behavioral patterns over time. We dissect the cognitive adaptations, personality disorders, and neural compulsions that allow unhinged predators to modify their hunting methodologies and evade psychological profiling.

How does an industry avoid accountability for decades while carrying tens of millions of passengers a year? It spends $70 million lobbying Congress. It hires former FBI and Coast Guard officials. It registers ships abroad to dodge U.S. taxes and jurisdiction. It fights reform legislation and wins. It settles lawsuits behind NDAs. And it issues identical zero-tolerance statements every time a crew member is caught. This final episode of Cruising with Predators names the machine. The money trail, the revolving door, the CVSSA's limitations, and the foreign-flag shield are all laid bare. Then the reforms: device screening, an international registry, prosecution before deportation, independent investigations, ending NDAs in cases involving minors, and licensing standards for youth programs. Each tied to a case from this series. The industry built this system. Families can demand it be rebuilt.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviews Bruce Marks. CEO of NACA – America's Best Mortgage Program. The incredible NACA mortgage allows NACA Members to purchase their homes with the following: Below is a structured summary of the Bruce Marks interview with Rushion McDonald on Money Making Conversations Masterclass, based entirely on the interview transcript you provided. All points and quotes are drawn from that source. Interview Summary Bruce Marks, founder and CEO of NACA (Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America), joins Rushion McDonald to discuss his four-decade mission to make affordable homeownership accessible to working families, particularly those historically excluded from the housing market. Marks explains how NACA fights predatory lending while simultaneously offering what he calls “the best mortgage in America”—characterized by no down payment, no closing costs, no fees, low fixed interest rates, and no reliance on credit scores. The conversation highlights NACA’s innovative programs, including converting Section 8 housing vouchers into mortgage payments, the $1 Homeownership Program for vacant properties, and large-scale, community-based homebuying events that process thousands of families in days rather than months. Marks frames homeownership as a tool for wealth-building, community stability, crime reduction, and racial equity. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of the interview is threefold: Educate listeners about alternative paths to homeownership that defy traditional mortgage industry norms. Challenge myths about credit scores, Section 8 recipients, and affordability. Promote NACA’s model as a scalable, nationwide solution to the housing affordability crisis and racial wealth gap. Key Takeaways 1. NACA’s Mortgage Model Is Radically Different No down payment No closing costs or fees Below-market, fixed interest rates Credit scores are not used; lending is based on payment history and financial behavior. 2. Predatory Lending Targets Vulnerable Communities Marks defines predatory lending as mortgages “structured to fail”, citing the 2008 housing crisis as a direct result of unaffordable loan structures that later doubled or tripled payments. 3. Section 8 as a Pathway to Ownership and Wealth NACA enables families to apply their Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers toward mortgage payments, allowing renters to build equity instead of enriching landlords. Over a 20‑year term, this can result in $200,000–$300,000 in personal wealth. 4. The $1 Homeownership Program Is a Game Changer Cities sell vacant homes or lots to buyers for $1, while NACA finances renovation or new modular construction—cutting costs by eliminating developers and enabling homes to be built for roughly $120,000 total. 5. Scale and Impact Matter NACA operates in all 50 states Newark event drew 25,000+ people over five days Over 75,000 homeowners served Foreclosure rate: 0.00012. Notable Quotes from Bruce Marks “We have the best mortgage in the country.”. “Predatory lending is a mortgage that is structured to fail.”. “What you’re doing is the wealth is now going to the person with a Section 8, not to the landlord.”. “We do character-based lending, never looking at someone’s credit score.”. “Homeownership is a safety issue, it’s an anti-crime issue.” Bottom Line The interview positions Bruce Marks and NACA as disruptors of the traditional mortgage industry, proving that affordability, scale, and advocacy can coexist. The message is clear: homeownership should be a right earned through responsibility and support—not a privilege restricted by wealth, credit scores, or predatory systems.. #SHMS #BEST #STRAW Steve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Master keycards that open every cabin. Youth centers without standardized staffing ratios. Background checks limited to whatever foreign governments provide. No international offender registry. No mandatory device screening. This is the access structure parents are not being told about — the gap between the safety the cruise industry markets and the screening that actually exists. According to a Congressional report, one-third of cruise ship assault survivors were minors. Maritime law firms confirm approximately one-third of their cases involve children. The highest-risk location for crew-on-child incidents: the guest cabin. Parents step out believing a locked door is enough. It is not enough when the crew member has a master key. The industry says it has strict policies. Those policies are self-created, self-enforced, and not independently audited.

Job seeking has become a full time job for many. And in an age where predatory capitalism continues to make billionaires richer while the rest of us struggle on the margins, the work of seeking work becomes a dystopian in-between place.

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott brings her clinical expertise to an examination of the alleged behavioral patterns prosecutors have described in the case against David Anthony Burke, known professionally as D4vd. Charged with first-degree murder with special circumstances, continuous sexual abuse of a child, and mutilation of human remains, Burke has pleaded not guilty. His attorneys maintain he is innocent.Prosecutors allege contact with Celeste Rivas Hernandez began when she was eleven and became sexual when she was thirteen. They allege Burke paid a thousand dollars to maintain contact after law enforcement intervened, that he allegedly killed her when she threatened to expose the relationship, and that he subsequently ordered tools and materials under a fake identity — with forensic evidence reportedly tying those items to injuries on her remains. Throughout, prosecutors allege he maintained his public career and reportedly deceived those around him about what had occurred.Scott examines the psychological dimensions of the alleged behavior — what sustained contact with a child from age eleven allegedly reveals about intent versus opportunity, how the alleged escalation after law enforcement contact fits established behavioral models, and what the reported ability to allegedly move between extreme violence and public performance suggests about compartmentalization and psychopathology.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Jason and Michael Zuber discuss the negative consequences of current economic and social policies in Western nations. They argue that countries like Australia and the United States are using high levels of immigration to temporarily mask deeper financial mismanagement and housing shortages. They focus on progressive tax regimes in cities like Seattle and New York, which aggressively target the wealthy and drive away essential tax revenue. They assert that mobile capital will naturally flee predatory government environments, leaving the middle class to bear the resulting financial burden.

When we released Predatory in 2024, it drew a lot of criticism. Why would we include an episode where it didn't end well? The short answer is because it unfortunately proves the rule more than the exception. Many cases do not end well. Sin is intoxicating and hard to give up. For Dylan, he wanted the benefits of God without the relationship, and that wasn't going to work for Father Martins. In this revisit of the case file, Father Martins breaks down a very complex case and the bizarre psychological elements. How could a demon manipulate people into lust? Why would God permit that? Why did the demon remain dormant for so long before finally unleashing its attack on Dylan? Father Martins breaks down what dynamics are at play. Trigger Warning: This case file may be triggering to some listeners given the theme of sexual assault that is discussed. Listener discretion is advised.

Online real estate platforms may seem helpful, but many are designed to sell your data — not protect your homebuying journey.Buying your first home often starts online, but most platforms are built to generate leads, not guide buyers. Your personal information is often sold to agents and lenders, turning your search into a sales funnel.This episode breaks down how large real estate companies prioritize volume and profit over quality service. High turnover and low experience levels mean many buyers are left without the guidance they need.It also challenges the assumption that a licensed agent is automatically qualified.

What if the way we've designed our cities… is quietly making us sick, disconnected, and alone? In this deeply thought-provoking conversation, Darin sits down with Tony Cho, visionary developer and pioneer of regenerative placemaking, to explore how our built environments shape everything from our mental health to our sense of belonging. From his unconventional upbringing on a spiritual commune to transforming Miami's urban core, Tony shares a powerful perspective on what's broken in modern society, and how we can redesign it. This episode dives into the collapse of true community, the hidden dangers of suburban life, and the urgent need to move beyond sustainability into true regeneration, where nature, culture, and human connection are at the center of how we build the future. What You'll Learn Why modern cities are fueling a global loneliness epidemic The difference between sustainability and true regeneration How urban design directly impacts your mental and physical health The three pillars of regenerative placemaking: nature, community, culture Why suburbia may be the "American nightmare" How community is more important than biohacking for longevity The role of nature in healing stress, anxiety, and disconnection Why scaling cities isn't the answer: local design is How "third spaces" are disappearing and why they matter The future of cities built for human connection instead of profit Chapters 00:00:03 – Opening: creating a roadmap to a SuperLife 00:00:32 – Sponsor: Fatty15 and the importance of cellular health 00:01:03 – The discovery of C15 and why it matters for longevity 00:02:12 – How cellular health impacts energy, aging, and metabolism 00:03:16 – Why C15 may be a missing nutrient in modern diets 00:04:06 – Returning to the episode 00:04:14 – Introducing Tony Cho and regenerative placemaking 00:04:43 – Tony's origin story: growing up on a spiritual commune 00:05:09 – The three pillars: nature, community, and culture 00:05:28 – Designing cities for connection and human health 00:06:11 – Starting the conversation: shared passions and purpose 00:06:34 – Life in an interfaith ashram and communal upbringing 00:07:14 – The impact of early spiritual discipline 00:08:17 – Leaving home and rebelling against structure 00:09:21 – The psychology of restriction and rebellion 00:10:18 – Discovering identity through independence 00:11:09 – Moving to Argentina and radical life shifts 00:11:51 – Being cut off and forced into self-reliance 00:12:42 – Entering nightlife and building a new life 00:13:11 – Transition into real estate and entrepreneurship 00:13:33 – Discovering the creative class in Miami 00:14:23 – Building community through urban revitalization 00:15:16 – Wynwood's rise and global cultural impact 00:15:37 – When success destroys authenticity 00:16:06 – The birth of regenerative placemaking 00:16:44 – The design flaw of modern cities 00:17:11 – Tribal living vs modern urban life 00:18:20 – Can community be designed at scale? 00:19:15 – Why regeneration is not about scaling 00:20:10 – The importance of place-based design 00:20:56 – The 15-minute city concept 00:21:17 – How cities became optimized for cars 00:21:49 – Sponsor: non-toxic cookware and health impacts 00:23:35 – The "American nightmare" of suburbia 00:24:07 – How built environments damage health 00:24:29 – Predatory design: food deserts and systemic issues 00:24:50 – Rethinking capitalism and city design 00:25:10 – Lessons from walkable, human-centered cities 00:25:34 – Technology, AI, and increasing disconnection 00:25:57 – Loneliness as a public health crisis 00:26:25 – The disappearance of "third places" 00:26:52 – Why community is the foundation of longevity 00:27:14 – The biology of human connection 00:27:43 – Nature access and urban happiness 00:28:27 – Redesigning cities for connection 00:28:49 – Regenerative housing and future living models 00:29:14 – Innovations in materials and construction 00:29:37 – Learning from nature's intelligence 00:29:56 – The failure of modern systems 00:30:30 – Regeneration beyond politics and ideology 00:30:51 – Measuring a city by health, not profit 00:31:12 – Infrastructure that fosters community 00:31:34 – The healing power of nature 00:32:00 – Forest bathing and science-backed wellness 00:32:22 – Reconnecting with biodiversity 00:32:57 – Awareness vs destruction of ecosystems 00:33:30 – Living in harmony with nature 00:34:10 – Closing reflections on designing a better future 01:13:00 – Final thoughts and outro     Thank You to Our Sponsors Our Place: Toxic-free, durable cookware that supports healthy cooking.
