Podcasts about Preservation

Doug Bennett is the founder of DB Wealth Planning and Preservation, a bestselling author, and host of the globally ranked Goals DO Come True podcast, who has spent over 30 years helping business owners find the date when work becomes optional. His own path included two divorces, a motorcycle accident at 95 miles an hour, and near bankruptcy, all of which now shape how he coaches clients through the psychological side of money. In this episode, Doug joins Chris to talk about the power of writing down specific, income based goals, why the shift from saving to spending is mostly mental, and the lesson he learned watching his father delay retirement until it was too late. Chris also connects Doug's story back to the 3 Paydays® System and why creative real estate deals beat the traditional one time payday. Timeline Summary [1:07] Chris introduces Doug Bennett, founder of DB Wealth Planning and Preservation and host of the Goals DO Come True podcast. [3:12] Doug shares that both his parents died within 12 weeks of each other, and that his dad never got to enjoy the retirement he'd delayed. [4:12] Doug explains his mission: helping business owners find the date when work becomes optional and giving themselves permission to spend. [5:03] Doug says the shift from saving to spending is mostly psychological, shaped by his own two divorces, a serious motorcycle accident, and near bankruptcy. [6:38] Doug introduces his book, Think Simple Win Big, written from the lessons of selling a chunk of his business for just over a million pounds. [10:27] Chris pivots to the 3 Paydays System, explaining why creative real estate deals beat the old way of getting paid once. [13:45] Doug traces his goal setting practice back to 2004, when he rediscovered a goals notebook and found he'd hit 10 of 11 goals he'd written down years earlier. [15:28] Doug describes doubling his income goal repeatedly, from $100K to $200K to $250K, raising the bar each time he got close. [16:21] Doug's actual income landed at $250,268 against a $250,000 goal, the moment that convinced him to double the target again. [16:50] Doug shares that a firm bought a stake in his business for $500,000 in 2019 and another $500,000 plus in 2020. [17:11] Doug warns that money disappears quickly without a plan, and that his own divorce ended up costing him half of what he'd built. [17:54] Chris and Doug discuss self imposed limits on goals, and Doug's advice to start with small, believable goals before ramping up. [21:21] Doug and Chris agree that finding a mentor or community cuts years off the learning curve compared to figuring it out alone. [22:54] Doug reframes the goal from "retirement" to reaching the point where every choice is open to you. [24:05] Doug shares where listeners can find his book, his podcast, and his free guide through Smart Real Estate Coach. Five Key Takeaways Write your goals down, even the ones that feel unreasonable. Doug rediscovered a goals notebook years later and had hit 10 of 11 goals he'd written down, several of which he'd completely forgotten setting. The shift from saving to spending is a psychological one, not a math problem. Doug spends most of his time giving clients permission to actually use the money they've worked to build. Don't wait for "someday" to enjoy what you've built. Doug's father delayed retirement to be with his dying wife and passed away shortly after her, having never gotten the time he was waiting for. Start with small, believable goals before you chase the big ones. If you've never hit a goal before, you won't trust bigger ones until you've proven smaller ones to yourself first. Money without a plan disappears fast. Doug's own experience selling part of his business for over a million dollars, then losing much of it to an unplanned lifestyle and a divorce, is a reminder that earning it is only half the job.   Links & Resources Book Your Free Discovery Call https://SmartRealEstateCoachPodcast.com/Discovery   Download: Inside the Deals (Real Case Studies) https://SmartRealEstateCoachPodcast.com/Deals   Explore Our Partner Resources https://SmartRealEstateCoachPodcast.com/Resources Doug's Free Guide (From Financial Struggle to Financial Success) https://smartrealestatecoach.com/doug Goals DO Come True Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/goals-do-come-true-with-doug-bennett/id1530802197  

Psalm 25 is David's prayer for guidance, forgiveness, protection, and deliverance. He lifts his soul to the Lord, acknowledges his sins and troubles, and trusts God's mercy. It reminds us that we can bring both our failures and our needs before God while remaining willing to be taught.These prayer points follow the movement of the psalm:Trust and protection — verses 1–3: “Lord, I place my trust in You. Keep me from shame, and do not let my enemies triumph over me.”Guidance and instruction — verses 4–5: “Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.” Pray for God to direct your steps and teach you His truth.Mercy and forgiveness — verses 6–7, 11: “Remember Your mercy, Lord. Forgive my past sins and present iniquity according to Your lovingkindness.”Humility and obedience — verses 8–10: “Give me a humble, teachable heart that follows Your ways and keeps Your covenant.”Reverence and fellowship — verses 12–14: “Teach me to fear You and walk in close fellowship with You.” Here, fear means reverence for God.Relief from loneliness and distress — verses 15–18: “Turn toward me with mercy. Bring me out of my troubles, look upon my affliction, and forgive my sins.”Preservation and integrity — verses 19–21: “Protect my soul, deliver me, and help me walk in integrity while I wait upon You.”Prayer for God's people — verse 22: David closes by praying beyond himself: “Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.” We can likewise intercede for God's people in their distress.The central prayer: Lord, teach me, forgive me, and keep me as I trust and wait upon You.

Philip Kent, CEO of Gravis Capital and Lead Manager of GCP Infrastructure Investments (LSE: GCP), joins UK Investor Magazine to discuss the state of the infrastructure investment trust sector and how GCP is designed to achieve capital preservation and reliable, inflation-linked income from UK infrastructure projects.Infrastructure trusts have spent much of the past few years trading at wide discounts to NAV. Philip explains why, how Gravis-managed portfolios react to interest rate moves, and how the team balances income against capital protection in a weak economy.The conversation also covers the outlook for infrastructure dividends over the next five years, opportunities in net zero and the energy transition, and where capital is flowing across the UK today. Philip addresses the health of GCP's debt book directly, including whether any project borrowers are falling behind on interest payments.From the perspective of investors who may use an ISA or SIPP, Philip outlines the portfolio mix, the advantages listed vehicles offer over private funds, and the most common misconceptions about infrastructure investing. He closes with how Gravis is approaching AI and what role infrastructure should play alongside equities and bonds in a diversified portfolio.Topics covered:Why infrastructure trusts trade at discounts to NAVInterest rate sensitivityIncome vs capital protectionDividend sustainability over five yearsNet zero and energy transition opportunitiesWhere UK infrastructure capital is goingDebt quality and borrower performanceGCP's portfolio mix for ISA and SIPP holdersListed vs private infrastructure fundsGravis Capital's approach to AIRetail misconceptions about infrastructureInfrastructure in a diversified portfolio Hosted on Acast.

Well, this week John is hurrying back from the East Coast through massive storms, and was not able to be here in time to record a podcast. But stepping up to the plate, and for the very first time on the podcast I might add, we are welcoming Zach Eastman, Vice President of SPERDVAC, who has very kindly agreed to pinch hit today as our emergency fill-in host.

What exactly is going on inside Preservation Distillery?This week on Whiskey Rocks, we're joined by Kyle Lloyd, Master of Maturation and VP of Operations at Preservation Distillery, for a deep dive into the whiskey behind one of Kentucky's most fascinating portfolios.Kyle takes us inside Preservation's approach to bourbon, vintage whiskey, sourced whiskey, house-distilled whiskey, blending and barrel maturation, including the stories behind expressions like Preservation Estate, Wattie Boone, Old Man Winter, Very Olde St. Nick and Rare Perfection.We talk about what it means to mature whiskey at the barrel level, how Kyle evaluates barrels, why sourced versus distilled shouldn't be the entire conversation, and how blending multiple barrels can create something greater than the individual whiskeys.We're also joined by Khemarith Kang, Whiskey Manager at Burlington Wine & Spirits, to talk about the other side of the barrel: selecting whiskey, working with distilleries, and the story behind some of the barrel picks we've done together, including our Preservation pick.No big tasting segment this time. Instead, we're getting behind the bottle and talking about why these whiskeys exist in the first place.It's a conversation about bourbon, vintage whiskey, barrel maturation, sourcing, blending, barrel picks and the people who make whiskey more interesting.Whiskey Rocks, Sip Hard.Follow us at @thewhiskeyrockspodcast on Instagram and TikTok

Charlottesville PC update: Schwarz re-elected chair, update on UVA Housing projectsA slightly less busy week gives us the chance to catch up with items in September that have so far not yet been reported. That includes two meetings that happened on the ninth day of the month at just about the same time.The first is the joint meeting of the Charlottesville City Council and the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority called to order by Mayor Juandiego Wade.There are usually no action items on the agendas of work sessions but Council had to make two appointments to the Charlottesville Planning Commission before that body could meet. The terms of Carl Schwarz and Ross Harness expired on August 31, 2026.Before moving on to business with the CRHA, Council reappointed both to new terms. More from the CRHA in the next newsletter.Schwarz served two terms on the Board of Architectural Review from 2014 to the end of 2021 before being appointed to the Planning Commission beginning September 2022. He continues to serve on the BAR as the representative from the Planning Commission.Harness was appointed to the PC earlier this year to fill a vacancy left with the resignation of Phil d'Oronzio. Harness is a realtor with Long and Foster.The Planning Commission also met on September 9 for a regular meeting and the first act was to elect leadership for the next year. Schwarz had been serving as chair and Danny Yoder had been vice chair.“The nominating committee of Hosea Mitchell and myself met, and we would like to request that Carl Schwarz serve again as chair and Danny Yoder serve again as vice chair,” said Commissioner Lyle Solla-Yates.Two of UVA's affordable housing sites in holding pattern With new chairs in place, Planning Commissioners gave updates including non-voting member Michael Joy who had updates on the University of Virginia's plans to contribute land for affordable housing projects. Just before the pandemic, former UVA President Jim Ryan had announced that up to 1,500 units would be built on three sites.UVA selected a group called Preservation of Affordable Housing to develop a two-acre site at the intersection of 10th and Wertland as well as the Piedmont Housing Alliance to build on a 12-acre tract of land off of Fontaine Avenue known as Piedmont.Both are in a holding pattern and Joy said both projects are dealing with fundamental shifts in what he called the affordable housing industry.“These shifts have been creating funding challenges, both nationally and locally, which is impacting affordable housing development,” Joy said. “The timing for this construction is contingent on the financing and the entitlements, and both of which are currently being worked through.”Preservation of Affordable Housing had submitted plans for a six story building at 1000 Wertland Street that would have 180 units with about 16,000 square feet of non-residential space.The city's Department of Neighborhood Development Services signed off on a development plan but a final site plan will need to be approved. In addition, the project needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the BAR, a body that was not ready to grant one in February 2025.The Piedmont Housing Alliance submitted a rezoning in December 2025 for the Piedmont site for 375 units but has since asked for an indefinite deferral.“Both of these sites are being treated as unique developments and they'll continue to progress on their own timelines,” Joy said.The third site is at North Fork and UVA has selected Bluestone Land LLC as a development partner.“North Fork is a very different site from the initial two properties in terms of size, scale, project phasing, and affordability mix,” reads the website of the President's Council on UVA-Community Partnerships. “We anticipate market rate and workforce/middle-income housing in addition to affordable units at this site.”Previous coverage:* University of Virginia resumes housing initiative for up to 1,500 units, April 30, 2021* UVA announces three sites for affordable housing projects, December 14, 2021* University of Virginia issues first request for qualifications for affordable housing developer, June 10, 2022* Nonprofits have been asked to work on UVA housing projects, February 15, 2023* UVA Foundation seeks firms to build 600 units of mixed-income housing at North Fork, November 26, 2024* A quick update on the UVA Housing Initiative, July 24, 2026* UVA still committed to affordable housing initiative launched during Ryan administration, C-Ville Weekly, July 29, 2026Sponsored message: Panorama Natural BurialAt Panorama Natural Burial, we believe caring for the deceased can be simple, meaningful, and deeply connected to the natural world. As a natural burial ground just outside Charlottesville, we offer families an alternative to traditional burial that honors both the people we love and the land that will carry them forward.Whether you are planning ahead, navigating a recent loss, or are just curious about natural burial, we welcome the conversation. We host regular tours and community events throughout the year. At Panorama we are building new ways of understanding death, land, ecology, ritual, memory, and community. We believe that building community around death care helps us all to live fuller lives. We are open to the public daily 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Come visit!Missing Middle working group updateLast week, the Stony Point Development Group held a required community meeting for the third phase of Dairy Central, a mixed-use project that is just under the threshold required for City Council to approve a special exception permit for additional height. In other words, this project is by-right under the city's 2023 zoning code.That Development Code is the third and final component of the Cville Plans Together initiative, a series of projects intended to increase the amount of housing that could be built across the city of Charlottesville.The Affordable Housing Plan was the first and it called for “soft density” across the city which resulted in a Future Land Use Map and a new zoning which allows for many more residential units without City Council's input. “Soft density” is also known as “missing middle” and the ability is embedded in the Development Code.One example of this in practice can be seen at 1040 St. Clair Avenue in the Locust Grove neighborhood on which a single-family home will be demolished to make way for six units. The 0.213 acre parcel is zoned Residential-A, which allows six units on a lot if half of them are designated affordable. Learn more in this story from August 2026. A final site plan has been approved.A working group of developers, staff, and other interested parties is leading efforts to loosen regulations in order to make it even easier for builders to construct more homes. The Planning Commission got an update on this missing middle work group from Ross Harness who said utilities are a barrier.“It was also noted difficulties that arise from the city having a gravity-fed only sewer system and how sometimes that prevents lots in town from even being reached without having a private pump system that… increases the cost of construction of those properties and long-term maintenance on the private side,” Harness said.Harness said there are many city policies that are preventing more housing units from being constructed such as requiring structures built on sublots needing to be spaced apart. He said the purpose of the group is to identify what developers call constraints.“Next steps for this group are a site visit to some of the parcels that some of the members of the subcommittee have so that we can actually get out there and have a little bit more physical discussion about some of these constraints,” Harness said.The Missing Middle work group is an informal committee, but I asked the city to provide a list of members. This was what was provided on September 10.* Local Builders and Developers: Bob Pineo, A.J. Amigoni, Richard Price, Nicole Scro, Dan Zimmerman, Trent Lawhorn, and Dan Rosensweig* Neighborhood Development Service: Matt Alfele, Carrie Rainey, Dannan O'Connell, Ben Koby, Madelyn Metzler, and Chuck Miller* Public Works: Brennan Duncan, Caleb Smith* Fire: Jason Campbell* Utilities: Cody Tusing, Calvin Chan, Chuck Drennen, and Donald Schrager* City Attorney's Office: J Vaden Hunt and one other staff member* Planning Commission: Ross Harnes and Betsy RoettgerLearn more about the Missing Middle Work Group here and also here on Connect Charlottesville. Quick-builds stuck?In the wake of a pedestrian being killed on Elliot Avenue in October 2024, the City of Charlottesville embarked on a series of projects intended to address safety concerns.After consultation with the Fire Department and the Charlottesville Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, a list of 67 “quick-build” projects were developed to use low-cost materials as traffic-calming measures. These were to have been completed in 2025.“These projects will rely on existing local capital funds for neighborhood transportation improvements, bicycle infrastructure improvements, and Safe Routes to School Improvements, as well as newly appropriated surplus funds for urgent transportation improvements,” reads the website.Planning Commissioner Josh Carp told his colleagues at the September 9 meeting that the city is far from meeting that goal after having conversations with staff.“We've built about half that list, and the upshot of a long meeting was that there is currently no staffing and no funding available to complete that list or to harden the projects that are already in place,” Carp said.Carp said this will be a topic of discussion when the capital improvement plan budget comes before the PC in November.I've requested additional information and will report back when I can.Previous coverage:* Charlottesville's new transportation planner briefs Council on future process, March 21, 2023* Charlottesville's “quick-build” projects are three-quarters built, August 14, 2025* Deputy City Manager Freas addresses pedestrian fatality on Emmet Street, October 9, 2025* Charlottesville City Council learns of plan to hire at least 42 new bus drivers over next four years, December 13, 2025* Charlottesville City Council briefed on efforts to lower speed limits, prepare new mobility plan, July 31, 2026LUEPC visits the Birdwood MansionIn late 2019, the Albemarle Board of Supervisors and Charlottesville City Council voted to dissolve a public body known as the Planning and Coordination Council which had provided an opportunity for elected officials to meet with their counterparts at UVA at a public meeting.This was replaced by the closed-door Land Use and Environmental Planning Committee which does not include any elected officials and certainly not enough to trigger Virginia's open meeting rules.According to the LUEPC website, the body has not met since May 15.According to Planning Commissioner Hosea Mitchell, LUEPC has met since then but said it was not an update on policy issues.“We went on a field trip,” Mitchell said. “It was a fun field trip. The field trip was to the Birdwood Mansion. The Birdwood Mansion is an edifice that was built between 1819 and 1830.”According to the website, rooms have been available for overnight accommodations since March 2026 at the Ivy Road landmark owned by the University of Virginia Foundation. That organization was created after UVA, Albemarle, and Charlottesville entered into a Three-Party Agreement which established guidelines for planning and development. That also led to the creation of the now-shuttered PACC.Previous LUEPC coverage:* Regional planners get preview of North Fork rezoning, January 12, 2022* Changes may be coming to closed-door planning group, May 10, 2023* Area planners hear from VDOT about desire to coordinate transportation projects, April 16, 2026* Closed-door body briefed on Rivanna Futures, water and sewer upgrade in northern Albemarle, May 14, 2026Two other items from the Planning Commission reports* Schwarz gave an update on a six-story building planned for 915 East High Street which is being developed under the 2003 zoning code rather than the new rules. That means the inclusionary zoning rules do not apply and the number of affordable units will be significantly lower.* Staff in the Department of Neighborhood Development Services continue to work on a second round of “code clean-up” intended to streamline the new rules. The idea is to have a public hearing before the Planning Commission in December. Learn more on the NDS website.No one speaks at Comprehensive Plan public hearingOn Monday, October 5, 2026, Charlottesville City Council will hold a public hearing on an update to the city's Comprehensive Plan. This is not to be confused with the five-year review of the plan which will really get underway sometime next year.The Planning Commission held their public hearing on the current proposed changes to the comp plan on September 9 and heard from Development Planning Manager Matt Alfele who reminded the appointed body that the Comprehensive Plan was last updated in November 2021 and the Community Facilities chapter needs to be updated.“Since then, there have been several amendments, including adoptions of both the Climate Action Plan and the Parks and Recreation Master Plan,” Alfele said. “Since then, there have been updates to city and partner agency Public utility and facility planning maps and projects. It is best practice to periodically update public utilities and facility maps and plans included in the Comprehensive Plan.”For instance, the updated chapter would include a map of the Central Waterline the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority is currently building.“The scope of the amendment includes adding 2 new strategies, one to adopt relevant RWSA and ACSA plans by reference within the Comprehensive Plan, and one to add future Schenks Branch Sewer Interceptor upgrade project,” Alfele said.The Schenks Branch Sewer Interceptor upgrade is a project mandated by a Virginia Department of Environmental Quality consent decree to replace a pipe from the 1950's. The first phase was installed with the construction of the John Warner Parkway, but the second phase has required negotiations between Albemarle County and Charlottesville.

Capital budgets in both Albemarle and Charlottesville include money in the current fiscal year for planning and funding in FY29 for construction. Each set aside $857,109 this year and $9,676,141 in FY29.Library Director David Plunkett gave an update at the August 24 meeting.“We're talking about this now, the design and community engagement is happening this year into next year,” Plunkett said. “And then construction those 2 years, a new building opens then.”#1131 is also a podcast!Did you notice that to be the case? For almost half of this newsletter's existence, the newsletter was a script for a podcast. When I left the Piedmont Environmental Council after two very unproductive years, I wasn't sure what form my return to journalism would take. But my dream job used to be working for public radio.I learned sometime in the 2000's I was never going to get hired for that sort of job. I'd worked in public radio for a while, and even moved to Charlottesville to take a full-time position. I was insubordinate, didn't listen to authority, and generally refused to be kept in the box my employer wanted me to be in. I stick to myself and maintain my independence because I learned to stay in the box for my next job. The older I got, the less I could afford to speak my mind so I mostly did my job and kept my mouth shut. For eleven years I did the job well, but this is America where people without connections and long pedigrees tend to get to be the ones who tell people to stay in boxes. In any case, paid subscribers, sponsors, and donors are helping me live out this fantasy of being an independent journalist. This is the work I think I am supposed to do, and the work I think about all of the time now. Even when dreaming. I'm not sure I would recommend this profession to anyone, but yet I wish I could explain how satisfying it is to do this work.Now I need to chill before getting back to work and the solution I think is Can.

Ruth Price did not wait for Arizona's creative community to find her. She started a newsletter, gathered people around design, art, architecture, and food, and built what became Desert Design Week.In Episode 231 of On The Delo, Ruth shares how moving from Romania to Oregon and eventually Arizona shaped her eye for place, preservation, and possibility. She and Delo discuss the growth of Desert Design Week, its decentralized choose-your-own-experience format, the launch of a companion publication, and why food belongs in any honest conversation about design and culture.Ruth also explains how she found a niche in design-led real estate, why her 4:30 a.m. reading and writing ritual matters, and how travel keeps her curious. Her closing advice is simple and powerful: stop comparing yourself to everyone else, put your blinders on, and do your thing.CHAPTER GUIDE :(0:15 - 3:42) Romania, Oregon, and Building a Life in Arizona(3:43 - 7:03) Preservation and Creating Future Architectural Gems(7:04 - 9:58) From a Newsletter to Desert Design Week(9:59 - 14:44) Growth, Audience, and a Decentralized Festival(14:45 - 19:22) Curating Experiences, Food, and First Bites of Phoenix(19:23 - 22:37) Finding a Niche in Design-Led Real Estate(22:38 - 26:55) Morning Rituals, Coffee, Travel, and Research(26:56 - 30:09) Creative Community, Tickets, and Staying Connected(30:10 - 33:53) Arizona Food Favorites and Rapid Fire(33:54 - 35:44) Stop Comparing Yourself and Do Your Thing

Principles and Guidelines for the Preservation of Tibetan Language | 23rd Sept. 2026

Could some of the most useful lessons for modern life come from the women who kept their families going through the Great Depression? This week on *Good Day Health*, Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), looks back at the remarkable resourcefulness, practical skills and mindset that helped women navigate one of the most difficult periods in American history. Dr. Jack explores the everyday skills that were once considered essential, including cooking from scratch, gardening, canning and preserving food, sewing and mending clothing, making household staples and finding a use for nearly everything. Waste was minimized because families learned to repair, reuse and repurpose what they already had—embodying the Depression-era philosophy, “Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without.”The conversation also examines the importance of community. Neighbors traded food, labor and practical skills, while gardening, home-based work and bartering helped families stretch limited resources. Dr. Jack discusses the physical demands of maintaining a household before modern conveniences and the resilience required to simply keep moving forward.More than a history lesson, it's a look at how those skills and attitudes can inspire greater self-sufficiency today. From learning to bake bread or sew a button to growing food and developing useful skills, Dr. Jack explains why starting small can still make a meaningful difference.Then, Doug Stephan teams up with Elizabeth Miller to talk about one of the most trusted names in natural weight loss: Calotren. Instead of relying on quick fixes or stimulant-based diet pills, Calotren is designed to support long-term results by working in sync with your body's natural overnight recovery process. Taken at bedtime, it helps promote deeper sleep while supporting metabolism, lean muscle maintenance, joint comfort, and skin elasticity.Doug and Elizabeth also discuss the growing trend of prescription weight-loss injections and how Calotren can be safely used alongside them. Supporting muscle tone, energy levels, and skin health, it can be a helpful addition for those looking to enhance their overall results.To learn more, visit TopLoss.com or call 1-800-325-4366.

We're auditing the hidden maritime highway of fat, acid, and raw heat connecting the American Gulf Coast straight to the Atlantic territories—where North Alabama pitmasters dunk whole hickory-smoked birds into black-peppered cider-mayo baths, and Puerto Rican street vendors weaponized the exact same industrial emulsion into garlicky Salsa Rosada to anchor every hot fritter in Piñones. Further west, Greek-owned Mississippi diners engineered Comeback Sauce as an addictive, paprika-heavy hospitality trap, while island cooks deep in the Cordillera Central relied on sizzling hot-oil Mojo Criollo to shock raw garlic into roasted pork perfection. To round out the coast, St. Croix turned Danish trade routes, Indian spices, and wild green mangoes into a blistering, sweet-sour Crucian chutney that cuts through whole-fried reef fish like a precision scalpel.---Follow us:Twitter / X: @LTSundryInstagram: @LTS.PodYouTube: Life, Tech, and Sundry (Subscribe and hit the bell!)Available across Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major podcast platforms.---☕ SUPPORT THE BRIEFINGS:Researching these regional recipes and tracking culinary infrastructure runs on a dangerous amount of caffeine.

This week we find that Paul is now in the custody of the Roman authorities who pulled him out of a life-threatening mob at the temple. By no means does this mean that he is far from potential harm. That said, we see God (in His sovereignty) bringing deliverance in ways unique to Paul's circumstance that speak powerfully to us today of a great purpose behind his and our deliverance. As you prepare today to hear God's word, wrestle with the question; ‘for what purpose have I been saved?'

Black on Black Cinema tackles Trump's ongoing assault on American landmarks. The East Wing of the White House was abruptly demolished last October, sparking legal battles over the approval process. Now the Kennedy Center is facing demolition threats over his childish desire to have his name on the building. The historic East Potomac cherry blossom grove; a 1912 gift from Japan is at real risk as Trump terminates a 50-year lease to build a "championship" golf course, with debris from the demolished East Wing literally dumped on the same site. The Lincoln Memorial's Reflecting Pool sits in disarray after a botched, unbid renovation.We ask the harder question: why does this president's legacy consistently manifest as destruction rather than creation? And as Black people, we sit with the real complexity here, many of these landmarks were built by enslaved people, monuments to a history that never fully included us. Is preservation even our fight? We land somewhere honest: this is still our country, our history, our capital, and watching it get torn down for spite and a golf handicap isn't something we're willing to be apathetic about, however complicated our relationship to these buildings really is.The next film to be review will be "I Love Boosters," written and directed by Boots Riley. The film follows a group of shoplifters who take aim at a cutthroat fashion maven by stealing her clothes and reselling them at a lower price, what they call "fashion-forward philanthropy."Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community. We review Black films across every genre — from Black horror and Black sci-fi to indie dramas, comedies, and blockbuster action. Covering filmmakers like Spike Lee, Jordan Peele, Ryan Coogler, Ava DuVernay, and more. Hosted by Jay, Micah, Terrence, and T'ara. Featured on RogerEbert.com. A TNP Studios production.

This Episode Kevin Amolsch returns to PassivePockets to take Chris behind the scenes of private lending and debt funds from how lenders actually make money to the underwriting decisions that determine whether investor capital stays protected when a deal goes sideways. Kevin has been lending to real estate investors for nearly two decades through Pine Financial Group, and he walks through how the business evolved from brokering individual private loans into managing diversified debt funds. He explains why Pine prioritizes return of capital over maximizing return on capital, how its fund economics are structured, and why the company is willing to make underwriting more difficult for borrowers if it means creating a larger margin of safety for LPs. Chris and Kevin dig into the actual credit box behind these loans: loan-to-ARV limits, borrower liquidity, personal guarantees, credit history, monthly payments, construction draws, and why Kevin will automatically pass on certain out-of-market borrowers. Kevin also explains why Pine is willing in some cases to finance nearly an entire project if the underlying economics and after-repair value create enough protection. The conversation also gets into what happens when things go wrong. Kevin shares how Pine evaluates REOs, when taking a loss today may be smarter than holding a property for years, why liquidity mismatches can create problems even when the underlying assets are performing, and how the firm uses leverage conservatively rather than simply maximizing it to boost returns. They also discuss fraud risk in private lending, the importance of title insurance and draw controls, and the operational safeguards Kevin believes investors should look for in a debt fund, including audited financials, third-party administration, and outside diligence. Finally, Kevin shares what he's investing in personally outside of lending—including retail, industrial, and a troubled industrial development where he ultimately chose to buy one of the buildings rather than walk away from his original investment. Key Takeaways How private lending evolved from individual hard-money loans into diversified debt funds Why Pine Financial prioritizes loan-to-ARV, borrower liquidity, guarantees, and monthly payments in its underwriting How debt fund economics work—from preferred returns and management fees to origination income and leverage Why Kevin views return of capital as more important than maximizing return on capital How lenders decide whether to foreclose, hold an REO, take a loss, or redeploy capital Why liquidity mismatches can create redemption problems even when a loan portfolio is still performing How conservative versus aggressive fund leverage can materially change both returns and risk The fraud controls Kevin uses around construction draws, title work, and lien priority Why audited financials, third-party administration, and independent diligence matter when evaluating a debt fund What Kevin is investing in personally today across retail and industrial real estate Join a community of passive investors.

A proposed overhaul of the federal process that protects cultural heritage sites and resources is fueling considerable pushback from tribes. They are concerned about how recommended changes to the National Historic Preservation Act might diminish tribal input on matters such as development projects in known sensitive areas. Critics say the changes have the potential to permanently destroy any remaining cultural treasures in the path of commercial development. At the same time, historians and others are worried about the pending closure of two federal archive facilities containing documents from the Indian Boarding School Era. Archivists worry there is no clear answer about what happens to these records if the facilities shut down. And we'll discuss the possible damage from border wall construction at Big Bend National Park in Texas. The Mescalero Apache Tribe is among those that spent years developing a framework to avoid irreparable damage to important spiritual and cultural sites. Current construction efforts are not following that framework. GUESTS Ira Matt (Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes), executive director for the National Association of Tribal Historic Preservation Officers Heather Hostler (Hupa), executive director at California Indian Legal Services Fallon Carey (Cherokee), digital archives director at the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition Holly Houghten, tribal historic preservation officer for the Mescalero Apache Tribe Break 1 Music: Wake Up Song (song) Voices of Salish & Ped d'Oreille Women (artist) Heart of the Bitterroot (album) Break 2 Music: Everywhere On Earth I Roam (song) Courtney Yellow Fat (artist) The Lost Songs of Sitting Bull (album)

I was serving as Special Assistant to Acting Governor Donald T. DiFrancesco then — his traveling aide, at his side almost every day. Some days that meant Drumthwacket, the Governor's residence. Some days it meant the Statehouse. Some days I'd start at his home in Scotch Plains instead. You didn't know which until you knew.That morning it was Drumthwacket. I parked and walked into the command center to find the troopers on detail that day, the way I did most mornings. One of them was racing out as I came in — his father was in one of the towers. A plane had hit, that much everyone knew. That early we thought it was small, contained, and an accident.I walked through the side door into Drumthwacket and saw the televisions on in the troopers' offices, and that was the moment I knew. This is not what I had in mind for today.The Governor himself was further inside, in the parlor, with a group of Holocaust survivors the state was hosting for breakfast, deeply engaged in a room you don't want to interrupt. But reports were coming in that the National Mall was on fire, that this wasn't contained to one place and we had to get to State Police headquarters.What I remember most about those first hours isn't a fact. It's the fear — deep and gut-level. I was twenty-six years old, and for most of that day I wouldn't let Rae Hutton, the Governor's press secretary, out of my sight. I needed an adult in the room, even though by then I was supposed to be one.The reporters wanted the same thing from us. What do you know? What can you tell us? It sounded like a question about facts, but really it was a search for reassurance, for some sense that someone, somewhere, had an answer. That day was the first time in my life I understood that the adults did not always have the answers.There was no way to check on the people I loved either. My boyfriend at the time — now my husband — and my sister were both in Washington. None of the calls were going through. The troopers and I had two-way pagers, a little texting, nothing more. No BlackBerrys, no iPhones. You sat and watched broadcast news, and that was the whole of what you knew, professionally and personally, at once.I had friends at the Port Authority. Several were running late that morning and never made it in. I think about that luck often. Others weren't as fortunate — New Jersey lost more than seven hundred people that day. I still remind people of this: we were closer to Manhattan than Albany was. We were on the ground before the Governor of New York even arrived. One woman on the Governor's staff lost her brother in the towers. I went with the Governor and the troopers to his funeral. I have never once heard bagpipes since without feeling that day in my bones.Later that day, before any of the funerals, the Governor prepared to board a Black Hawk for Liberty State Park. He turned to me first.“Not today, Lisa. I do not know what we will see. Today, I would like you to stay here and stay safe.”He was the one flying toward it. I was the one told to wait. Twenty-five years later, I'm still not sure which of us had the harder job.Debbie Baker went with him — the same trooper who'd first told him a plane had hit. When she came back, she had a blank look on her face. I asked her what she saw.“There was nobody there,” she said.That night I drove myself home, alone on roads that should have had other cars on them and didn't. I have never been more frightened in my life. I got home, turned the television on, and didn't turn it off. I don't think I slept.The next day, we went into the city by boat — the Holland Tunnel was closed, so boat was the only way in. What I saw at the site looked like a war zone, except it wasn't a war, and everyone there knew it. Hundreds of people moving in near silence, still searching for anyone who might be alive.I sat in the biggest rooms and the saddest ones after that — meetings with Mayor Giuliani and Governor Pataki, watching men try to make decisions about a catastrophe no one had a playbook for. I remember Giuliani pushing to get government buildings back open — something close to we need to show them they can't win — and someone telling him, gently, that the work wasn't done. Not cleanup. Preservation. It was still a recovery site.I watched medical students give their time to identification work with no clean edges to it. I walked past telephone poles covered in photographs — faces, names, phone numbers, taped up by people who hadn't stopped looking yet. There was a smell in the air for weeks I have never been able to describe to anyone who wasn't there. I will never forget any of it — the rooms, the poles, the smell, the quiet next to the loudest grief I've ever been near.I can't believe it's been twenty-five years. Those memories are seared into me in a way almost nothing else from my life is.That day is the reason I moved to Washington. I wanted to be part of whatever the solution turned out to be — to protect this country, the people I loved, the children I hadn't had yet and the children they'd go on to have. That's the call underneath everything I've done since.That day didn't just define me. It defined a nation.I asked the Governor this week what he remembers most, twenty-five years on. Not the chaos. Not the decisions. The people who ran toward it. “Even people who weren't working that day, who went up into those towers to help,” he told me, “and who perished because they were going up while everyone else was coming down.” Tomorrow, like most every year, he'll be at Ground Zero for the service, standing in the quiet while they read the names.Twenty-five years ago, he told me to stay behind. Tomorrow, he goes back. Get full access to Lisa Camooso Miller at newsletter.fridayreporter.com/subscribe

The Tennis Tragic #077 / The Retirement Plan / What will we do when it's all over?  When our body and spirit can no longer hold up to the rigors of life on tour?  This week, we learned that Gael Monfils will be working in wealth management; Stefanos Tsitsipas, meanwhile, will be starting the Society for the Preservation of the One-Handed Backhand.  Call him if you have a child with a one-hander.  He can help.  Meanwhile, Matte and David welcome former Upset Game World Number One Ian Macnider behind the curtain and onto the pod!  We discuss Ian's observations about the US Open thus far, and try to pry for secrets of the Upset Game - only to be rewarded with one sports cliche after another.  Alas.  We touch briefly on the fashion on display at the Open, from Alcaraz's nipple exposure to Naomi's Allen Iverson inspired walk-on outfit; discuss Alcaraz's dirge through five-setters in the latter hours, and imagine a tennis match that goes on literally forever.* Visit the Tragic Archive at ⁠tennistragic.com⁠* Play the Upset Game at ⁠upsetgame.com⁠* Follow us on Instagram @tennistragicpod

Jon Herold digs into a new USPS whistleblower report claiming the mail ballot verification system is rushed and vulnerable, then traces the whistleblower's legal support back to the same nonprofit involved in the 2019 Ukraine impeachment complaint, arguing the parallel structure gives away the operation. He also covers an update on the effort to secure Fulton County's Dominion voting machines for review, DHS launching a coordinated voter fraud investigation surge across nine states, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll's resignation amid tension with Hegseth, and the Supreme Court's 5 to 4 ruling allowing White House ballroom construction to proceed. There's also a look at a new grand jury subpoena tied to James Comey's leak investigation and a General Dan Caine letter addressing concerns about military involvement in the midterms. Sponsor reads, Vegas conference promo, and a viral clip of a father confronting lawmakers over an immigration related tragedy round out a dense Taco Tuesday show.

We explore the preservation and authenticity of Hadith, why the Sunnah is essential to understanding the Quran, and how astronomical data and early manuscripts provide compelling evidence for the historical accuracy of Hadith.

The sermon defends the authenticity of Mark 16:9-20 against textual criticism by citing scriptural promises of preservation and overwhelming external manuscript evidence. It argues that doubting these verses contradicts God's faithfulness to preserve His Word throughout church history. The message then shifts to the theme of unbelief, illustrating how Christians often functionally deny God's truth through worry, disobedience, unforgiveness, and fear. Unbelief is presented as a dangerous spiritual poison that hardens the heart and leads believers away from trusting God's sovereignty. The preacher urges the audience to reject doubt and place complete confidence in the reliability of Scripture and the Gospel.

Message from Brian Gilley on August 30, 2026

A sudden five-minute monsoon just poured down before I even got moving today, so this one starts in blue skies and puddles. I'm walking along Hồ Tùng Mậu — once an actual canal until it was filled in back in the 1920s — and finally sharing some proper research I did on this neighborhood I keep saying I love. Along the way I point out a cluster of hundred-year-old shophouses, a hidden alley bar, and buildings I really hope survive the next wave of glass-and-concrete development. I also grab a rare bag of tofu with fermented shrimp paste (tofu nắm) before finally sitting down for a bowl of mì gà a few blocks from the studio.Key TakeawaysThis neighborhood has real history behind it: Hồ Tùng Mậu was once a canal, and many of the surrounding shophouses date back to the early 1900s — built with tall windows and shutters designed for the heat and rain, long before AC existed.Preservation is informal, not guaranteed: None of these century-old buildings are officially protected — some survive mostly because they're awkwardly wedged between other structures, not because anyone's actively saving them. One inspiration for wanting this area preserved: George Town in Penang, Malaysia, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.The good stuff is easy to miss and easy to lose: Tofu nắm is a favorite that's genuinely hard to find — worth buying on sight rather than waiting until after lunch, because the seller might be sold out next time.Big personal update, worth knowing: After a year since an MS diagnosis and a strong initial recovery, a second round of treatment two months ago has brought lower energy and more frequent illness — though the latest MRI brought good news, with no new lesions and existing ones inactive.The podcast keeps growing in unexpected directions: The YouTube channel just crossed 950,000 views, and the "how's your accent understood on national TV" comments keep coming now that the VTV show is underway.Chapters and Timestamps00:00 – A surprise monsoon, then blue skies along Hồ Tùng Mậu02:00 – The canal-turned-street history and hundred-year-old shophouse architecture06:00 – A hidden alley bar and why some old buildings quietly survive12:00 – Penang as inspiration for preserving this kind of neighborhood20:00 – Podcast milestones and life on VTV's Vietnam Explained24:00 – Sitting down for mì gà and talking through the meal28:00 – Wrapping the walk, more neighborhood history, and heading back in the rain"Send me a message!"Book a free call with me here if you want to start your own podcast!

Point Reyes National Seashore sits on a foggy peninsula about an hour north of San Francisco. It is a place of trails, wildlife, and dramatic coastal scenery. What many visitors don't expect to find there are dairy farms. And yet for well over a century, family ranches have been part of this landscape, some operated by the same families for five or six generations. That coexistence has been at the heart of one of the most contentious disputes in the history of the American national park system. In January 2025, after years of litigation and closed-door negotiation, a settlement was reached: most of the ranching operations at Point Reyes would close, and the families that ran them would leave. As of April 2026, twelve ranches have departed and two remain. Depending on who you ask, this is either a long-overdue victory for wildlife and ecological restoration, or the deeply unjust displacement of a community that had been told for decades it had a future in the park. The tule elk are free to roam. The ranchers are mostly gone. The debate about what it all means is very much ongoing. In this episode, historian Laura Alice Watt, author of The Paradox of Preservation, traces the arc of this conflict from the park's founding through the Drakes Bay Oyster Company controversy and into the battle over the ranches. Her book offers a window into how the National Park Service and the Nation Parks in the United States work, and what the story of Point Reyes reveals about the contradictions of American conservation.

Building new housing is only part of the affordability challenge. Counties also need tools to preserve the affordable homes already in their communities.In Episode 7 of The Briefing Room's housing finance series, Dom Butchko and Terry Hickey are joined by Jonathan R. Butler, Director of the Prince George's County Department of Housing & Community Development, to explore preservation as a housing strategy.The conversation looks at where affordable properties are most at risk, how Right of First Refusal (ROFR) can help counties preserve existing units, and how Prince George's County puts that tool into practice. The episode also explores the partnerships and financing needed to make preservation deals work and what other counties can learn from the Prince George's approach.As Maryland works to expand its housing supply, preservation remains an important part of keeping existing homes affordable and preventing communities from losing ground.Follow us on Socials!MACo on TwitterMACo on Facebook

Tohono O’odham Chairman Verlon M. Jose vows to continue fighting after a federal judge turned down the tribe's efforts to stop construction of the U.S.-Mexico border wall in Arizona. Jose says O'odham's heritage, cultural sites, and natural environment are too important to allow unimpeded destruction at the hands of construction crews. At the same time, the Trump administration halted wall construction in Big Bend National Park in Texas after a group filed a lawsuit on religious grounds on behalf of a Native conservation group. We'll hear about efforts to halt or slow construction that is going forward without regard for environmental, cultural or spiritual protections. We'll also get an update on the lack of progress in filling the vacancy at the top of the National Indian Gaming Commission. President Donald Trump has yet to name a new chairman to the regulatory agency. The position has been vacant since January. Without a chairman, casinos cannot move ahead with several basic operations, potentially costing them millions of dollars.
