Donald Trump continues to lash out at the press and its coverage of his second term. The FBI raided the home of a Washington Post reporter and confiscated her devices. Authorities say it was part of an investigation into classified documents, but federal regulations to preserve press freedom and protect sources traditionally prevent such invasive action. Former Washington Post Executive Editor Marty Baron joins the show to discuss.  Also on today's show: Mahmood Mamdani, father of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani; National Geographic Fellow Paul Salopek  Learn more about your ad choices.

Implanon (etonogestrel implant) first received FDA approval in 2006, followed by the improved, radiopaque version, Nexplanon, approved by the FDA in 2010, which is now the only contraceptive implant available in the U.S. It was originally FDA approved for a 3-year use duration, although peer reviewed clinical data had demonstrated efficacy through year 5. Now, as of January 2026, the FDA has formally agreed to extend the label for 5-year use. In this episode, we will review the clinical data that prompted the FDA's decision, based on a multicenter, single-arm, open-label study evaluating contraceptive efficacy and safety during years 4 and 5 of implant use.1. https://www.contemporaryobgyn.net/view/fda-approves-5-year-use-for-etonogestrel-implant-68-mg-contraceptive2.

Welcome back to chaos! In Part 2 of Earth's Deadliest Locations You Should Never Visit, we're touring places so hostile they feel personally offended by human life. We also dipped into the pop culture pool for a second because, word is, Gremlins 3 is actually happening, which means nobody's safe after midnight again. And just when your brain thinks it's had enough, meet the woman who survived 23 years on nothing but potato chips. No vegetables.

Is culture good for you? In Art Cure: The Science of How the Arts Save Lives (Cornerstone Press, 2026) Daisy Fancourt, a Professor of Psychobiology & Epidemiology and head of the Social Biobehavioural Research Group at University College London offers a comprehensive and compelling argument for the ways arts and culture offer health and social benefits for individuals and societies. The book offers both the evidence for the benefits of arts and culture, whilst at the same time showing how many people and places are missing out and excluded from the positive impact of engagement and experiences. A powerful call for the importance of art and culture, backed by a blend of rigorous scientific and medical evidence, as well as engaging personal stories and narratives, the book is essential reading across the arts, humanities and sciences.

Trump: We've done more than any other administration has done by far—in terms of military, in terms of ending wars, in terms of completing wars, nobody's really seen very much like it. Trump: These are professional agitators and professional people that want to see our country do badly. But that's not happening because we have the hottest country.

Are New Year's resolutions helping your mental health, or quietly burning you out? In this episode of the Get Psyched Podcast, we unpack the difference between resolution culture and intention setting, and why the way we approach change can deeply impact our emotional well-being, self-worth, and nervous system.Resolution culture often tells us we need to fix or reinvent ourselves to be worthy. Intention, on the other hand, invites curiosity, compassion, and sustainable growth. We explore how shifting your mindset from “have to” → “get to” can reduce anxiety, increase motivation, and support long-term mental wellness.Today, we explore:

What does it really mean to press in to God when life has worn you down, faith feels risky, or you've been waiting for healing for a long time? In this episode of Cornerstone Conversations, we walk through Luke 8 and the powerful story of the woman with the issue of blood, exploring deliberate faith, desperate hope, and the courage to reach for Jesus when everything says stay hidden. From cultural context and the Mosaic law to the beauty of Jesus calling her “daughter,” this conversation reveals how Jesus responds to intentional pursuit, how the clean makes the unclean clean, and why your story still matters. Along the way, we unpack practical ways to press in during prayer and fasting, the power of testimony, and the freedom found when we come to Jesus just as we are.   Did you accept Christ today?

Trust issues? Same. But Phoenix Ash isn't handing out clichés. She's handing out grown-folk gems. In this soul-filled kickoff to the year, Life As P... sets the tone with a whole new framework. No resolution shame. No overnight healing myths. Just real talk about what it actually takes to trust the process, yourself, your boundaries, your gifts, and yes... even other people. From the lingering fingerprints of a 15-year marriage to the ego bruises of job loss, Phoenix pulls no punches while laying out the layers of trauma, growth, and emotional maturity. Parenthood, perfectionism, and the trap of “healing before happiness” all get addressed and unwrapped with the clarity and raw honesty only P can deliver. It's not about sprinting into the new year. It's about walking it out with intention, community, and discernment. And maybe moisturizing while you're at it. Trust is the word. The mindset. The mantra. Press play.Connect with Phoenix Ash:

Ever catch yourself thinking, "Why am I like this?" Too much. Too quiet. Too emotional. Too in your head. What if the thing you criticize yourself for most… isn't a flaw at all? In this episode, I unpack a powerful reframe that challenges the way we try to "fix" ourselves. Because what if your so-called weakness is actually a strength that's just been turned up too high? If you've ever called yourself an overthinker, a people-pleaser, disorganized, shy, or "too much"—and felt stuck in shame because of it—this one will hit close to home. No fluffy self-love. No personality overhaul. Just a simple shift that brings clarity, balance, and relief. Less "What's wrong with me?" More "How do I work with who I already am?"

"The idea came suddenly one day. I was traveling and had this little Japanese perfume spray in my hand, It's actually aluminum and the inside glass, very little. And I said to myself, that's the concept of bottle I'm going to do. Glass.. Honesty." —Hardy Steinman   We drink water every day, yet most of us never question the container. We accept strange smells, plastic taste, and constant replacement as normal. This conversation challenges that mindset and asks us to slow down and rethink what daily hydration is doing to our bodies and the environment. Listen in as Hardy Steinmann shares the personal journey behind building Okapa, a hydration vessel designed with lab-grade glass, precision engineering, and a belief that fewer, better objects can improve health and reduce waste. Press play to explore a different way of thinking about hydration and long-term wellness: Why hydration quality matters as much as quantity The hidden issues with plastic and standard glass bottles How material porosity affects taste, smell, and bacteria The engineering behind shock absorption and durability Longevity versus throwaway consumer culture Environmental responsibility through better design Why investing in one well-made product changes daily habits   Meet Hardy:  Hardy Steinmann is the founder of Okapa, a company renowned for its innovative and meticulously engineered water bottles designed to promote health, hygiene, and sustainability. With over eight years of research and development and a background that spans leading and rebuilding companies around the world, Hardy is committed to using only the highest-quality materials and advanced engineering techniques. Drawing inspiration from his international experiences—including time spent in Papua New Guinea—he brings a unique perspective to product design, ensuring that Okapa bottles set a new standard for performance, longevity, and environmental responsibility. Hardy's dedication to transparency, consumer education, and less-is-more philosophy positions Okapa as both a leader in its field and a catalyst for positive change in how people approach health and hydration.   Website LinkedIn Instagram TikTok Pinterest   Connect with NextGen Purpose: Website Facebook Instagram LinkedIn YouTube   Episode Highlights: 00:51 The Problem with Traditional Water Bottles: Plastic & Steel Issues 03:00 The Science of Glass: 07:31 Health Impact: Comparing Glass, Plastic, and Hygiene in Hydration 12:00 Iconic Design and the Eight-Material Engineering Challenge 18:02 "Swiss Watch" Precision: Over-Engineering for Perfect Hydration 21:00 Minimalism vs. Consumption: Bottles Built to Last 28:47 Engineering Details: Handle, Materials, and Replacement Parts 31:41 Health Market Potential: From Lab-Grade Glass to Medical Collaboration  

In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros challenge a belief most people never question until it starts costing them results. This conversation explores why achieving a goal is often celebrated, but sustaining it quietly breaks discipline, focus, and standards over time. Rather than chasing motivation or surface-level habits, this episode examines the deeper tension between ambition, capacity, and long-term performance. It confronts why success creates pressure instead of relief, why balance becomes harder as life expands, and why many people feel overwhelmed after they “win.”This is a grounded, direct discussion for anyone serious about growth beyond the milestone. Press play, listen carefully, and decide whether you are building for the moment or the decade ahead._______________________Learn more about:Your first 30-minute “Business Breakthrough Session” call with Alan is FREE.

If LinkedIn has felt heavier lately—like you're showing up, posting thoughtfully, and doing all the right things, but it's still not leading to conversations or clients—this episode is for you.   Because here's the truth: LinkedIn isn't broken. And you're not doing it wrong.   What has changed are the rules.   In this episode of The Good Girls Get Rich Podcast, I'm teaching you three very specific authority shifts you need to make on LinkedIn in 2026 if you want more than likes and visibility. We're talking about the kind of visibility that leads to real conversations, real opportunities, and real clients.   This is a practical, grounded episode. No fluff. No hustle. Just clarity.   In this episode, you'll learn: Why posting more isn't the answer—and what actually builds authority How to tell if your LinkedIn profile is helping or hurting your credibility The difference between being visible and being clearly known for something Why random networking and commenting doesn't compound anymore How signal-building helps LinkedIn send the right people your way Why content builds credibility—but conversation builds conversion I'll also walk you through a simple way to audit your profile and your last few posts so you can see exactly where your authority is leaking—and how to fix it.   And we'll talk about how to shift your content from "teaching mode" into "conversation mode" so your posts don't just inform, but actually open the door to connection and clients.   If you've been feeling like you're ready for a more intentional, simpler way to show up on LinkedIn—one that works with the algorithm instead of fighting it—you're going to want to listen all the way through.   Press play, grab a note or two, and get ready for at least one moment where you say: "Oh… that's the thing."   Resources Mentioned In The Episode: Learn more about The Visibility Salon: https://visibilitysalon.com Binge watch the full Rich Woman Reset playlist: https://karenyankovich.com/richwomanreset Check out The Glow Up Audio Experience: https://www.KarenYankovich.com/glowup    Help Us Spread The Word!

What would make you walk away from a six-figure business?   In this episode, I'm joined by my client Blessing Santoro for a raw, honest conversation about why she chose to step away from a six-figure done-for-you business in order to reclaim her freedom — and what's happened on the other side of that decision.   Blessing shares what it really looked like behind the scenes of a "successful" business: long hours, creative burnout, resentment, and feeling trapped by work that was profitable but no longer aligned. We talk about the moment she realized money alone wasn't enough, the fear that came with starting over, and how she began rebuilding her business in a way that actually supported her life.   In this episode, we cover:   What it looks like when a profitable business is no longer sustainable   Why "guaranteed" done-for-you revenue isn't as safe as it seems   How Blessing transitioned from 60-hour weeks to working just a few hours a day   The mindset shifts required to move from done-for-you to coaching   Why prioritizing freedom over profit can actually increase profitability   If you're a done-for-you provider who's craving more freedom but feels scared to let go of what's working, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.   About Blessing: With over 8 years in the industry as a Messaging and Marketing Strategist, Blessing has supported agencies and business owners on six-figure launches and seven-figure brand projects by bringing strategy and creativity together to create client attraction systems that flow predictably, with intention, and get the right clients to say YES.   Want more from Blessing?

What can we learn from a lifetime spent on the road—and the people you meet along the way?In this episode of Terminal Exchange, we celebrate the retirement of Steve Mallory, who wraps up eight years at Nussbaum Transportation after a long and remarkable career in the trucking industry.Steve reflects on his journey that began in the late 1970s, starting as a young truck driver learning the ropes in Chicago and eventually accumulating nearly 2.8 million safe driving miles.

The Rule That Broke For a decade, SEO had one simple goal: rank higher than everyone else. That rule just died. Patients are not typing “orthodontist near me” and clicking through five websites anymore. They are asking ChatGPT. They are reading Google AI Overviews. They are using conversational tools that skip the ten blue links entirely. Here’s what most practices have not realized yet. AI search engines do not rank practices. They select them. If you are not selected, you are invisible. Your beautiful website does not matter. Your years of “doing SEO” do not matter. This shift changes everything. Get your Free SEO Audit: https://hip.agency/contact/ Grab your copy of Orthodontic Practice SEO: Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GGBWLBLR Apple: https://books.apple.com/us/book/orthodontic-practice-seo/id6757766846 From Rankings To Recommendations Traditional search worked like a phone book. You searched. You clicked. You compared. You decided. AI search collapses that entire process into one conversation. Instead of forcing patients to research five options, AI tools recommend providers directly. Often just one or two practices. That’s it. This is not a ranking system. It’s a trust system. Google’s AI Overviews answer questions directly at the top of results. ChatGPT does not pretend to be a search engine. It acts like a knowledgeable assistant guiding decisions in real time. When a parent asks, “Who’s the best orthodontist for Invisalign for my teen near me?” the AI does not say: “Here are ten websites. Good luck.” It says: “Based on your needs, I recommend these providers.” If you are not in that answer, you do not get a second chance. Free Growth Session Why Your Old SEO Playbook Just Stopped Working Classic SEO rewarded keywords, backlinks, page optimization, and technical performance. All of that still matters, but it’s no longer enough. AI engines work differently. They summarize instead of list. They cite instead of rank. They select sources instead of pages. Instead of ordering websites by relevance, AI evaluates who appears trustworthy, who demonstrates real expertise, and who can be safely recommended without risk. This explains why some practices with fewer backlinks or lower traditional rankings suddenly appear in AI answers while others with “strong SEO” vanish completely. AI is not asking, “Who optimized best?” It’s asking, “Who do I trust enough to recommend?” The Real Ranking System — Trust Over Traffic Every AI search engine relies on the same decision framework. ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity. All of them. They look for three core signals. 1. Topical Authority Do you own the topic, or are you just scratching the surface? One Invisalign page optimized for keywords no longer signals expertise. AI looks for topic ownership. A full ecosystem of content proving you understand the subject from every angle. Cost and financing. Treatment timelines. Comparisons versus alternatives. Maintenance and care. Suitability for teens versus adults. Risks, outcomes, and expectations. If your site answers only one of these, AI assumes you are not the expert. 2. Verifiable Credibility AI does not trust claims. It trusts proof. It actively scans for board certification, recognized provider tiers, awards and “best of” recognition, years in practice, case volume, and external validation. These signals matter more now because AI must justify its recommendations. It cannot guess. 3. External Trust Signals AI does not rely solely on your website. It cross-checks reviews across multiple platforms. Not just Google. Authoritative directories. Press mentions. Industry listings. Community validation. The more independent sources confirm your legitimacy, the more comfortable AI becomes recommending you. Free Growth Session Why One Page Will Never Be Enough Again For years, SEO rewarded focus. Pick a keyword. Optimize a page. Build links. Win. AI rewards depth. When someone asks about Invisalign, AI does not want a sales page. It wants confidence that you are the authority. That’s why topical clusters matter now. One core Invisalign page. Supporting pages on cost, care, timelines, and alternatives. FAQs written in clear, extractable language. Structured formatting AI can easily parse. This is not about writing more content for the sake of content. It’s about removing doubt. AI selects practices that leave no unanswered questions. The Trust Signals That Actually Trigger Recommendations Here’s where most practices fall short. They have credibility. They just do not surface it clearly enough for AI to verify. AI strongly favors practices that explicitly showcase board certification with outbound verification links, awards tied to authoritative publications, review volume across multiple platforms, mentions from high-authority websites, and transparent doctor bios with credentials and education. This is why press placements and authoritative citations now punch far above their weight. A single mention on a trusted outlet can matter more than dozens of generic backlinks. AI recognizes the source. Free Growth Session Being Selected Beats Being Ranked Traditional SEO is competitive. AI visibility is compounding. Once AI begins recommending a practice, it appears repeatedly in similar conversations. Each mention reinforces authority. The practice becomes a default choice. This mirrors early Google SEO, but with fewer spots and higher stakes. In classic search, being number five still meant traffic. In AI search, being number five often means nothing. Only the selected practices win. How To Become The Practice AI Chooses This is not theory. It’s execution. Here’s what actually moves the needle. Shift from pages to topic ecosystems. Own entire treatment categories, not just keywords. Surface credibility aggressively and clearly. Credentials, awards, and experience should be impossible to miss. Expand reviews beyond Google. AI pulls from multiple platforms. Diversification matters. Secure authoritative citations, not random links. Focus on sources AI already trusts. Structure content for AI extraction. Clear headers, FAQs, concise answers, and schema markup. Actively monitor AI recommendations. Search manually. Track visibility. Learn from who’s being selected and why. Free Growth Session Trust Is The New Ranking Factor SEO did not disappear. It evolved. The practices that will win over the next decade are not the ones chasing algorithms. They are the ones building undeniable credibility. AI does not reward clever tricks. It rewards certainty. In a world where patients increasingly let AI guide their decisions, the question is no longer “How do I rank higher?” It’s “Why should AI trust me enough to recommend me at all?” Answer that convincingly, and rankings stop mattering.

What does it mean to truly press in to Jesus and not just be part of the crowd around Him? In this message, we walk through Luke 8 and the story of the woman who risked everything to touch the hem of Jesus' garment, discovering that desperation, faith, and deliberate pursuit get His attention. This teaching unpacks the cultural weight of “clean and unclean,” reveals how Jesus rewrites the rules of access to God, and challenges us to examine whether we are following Him for what He can give or simply for who He is. If you feel unworthy, distant, or desperate for something only God can do, this message is an invitation to stop hiding, press in, and encounter the grace that makes the unclean clean.   Did you accept Christ today?

Some days, grief doesn't feel like a wave—it feels like your starting over. You wake up and everything is there again: the ache, the weight, the questions. And you start wondering… Why does this undo me so easily? Why does it always feel like I'm back at the beginning? In this episode, I want to sit with that question— to look at it more honestly. Because what if those "starting over" days aren't proof that you're not making progress? What if they're pointing to something deeper—something your heart has been trying to tell you all along? Inside this conversation, you'll explore: Why some grief days feel heavier than others, even when nothing "new" has happened The one thing many grieving moms don't realize they're missing The beliefs that quietly keep you stuck in the same emotional cycle A story from Scripture that may change how you think about peace, progress, and healing If you've been feeling discouraged by how easily grief can knock you off your feet, I want you to hear this:  you are not going backward. There may be more happening in those hard moments than you've ever been taught to see. Press play, and let's talk about it together. This is a very powerful episode and has the potential to open your eyes in a way nothing else has before.   

Welcome to The Rose and Rockstar - with the Chief Troublemaker at Seventh Bear, Robert Rose, behind the bar serving one of his splendid cocktails, while our Rockstar CMO host Ian Truscott picks his brain on a marketing topic.  This week, we dive back into the obsession marketing commentators seem to have with declaring things as dead. Recently, it seems PR has been getting the “it's dead” treatment from the cool kids high on social media Kool-Aid, but in an age when networks, human-to-human marketing, and influence are so important, the chaps discuss why PR should be very much alive. They discuss: Modern PR requires building relationships with influencers, not just journalists. The skills needed for PR have evolved with the rise of social media. Integrating PR into overall marketing is crucial for success.

Still a work in progress but they're bringing the vibes anyway as they kick off a cozy and candid conversation about weekly wins, tough losses, and everything in between.Nikki celebrates an epic experience at the Fiesta Bowl, a dreamy stay at the Princess Hotel in Arizona, and a chance encounter with football legend Eli Manning, who is just as nice as you'd hope. Brie's riding high after Buddy crushed his first-ever flag football game, scoring three touchdowns and making mom proud with his sportsmanship.

a16z cofounders Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz join a16z general partner Erik Torenberg and Not Boring founder Packy McCormick for a conversation on how the media and information ecosystem has changed over the past decade. The discussion breaks down the shift toward a more open and decentralized speech environment, the rise of writer- and creator-led platforms like Substack, and the erosion of centralized media gatekeepers. Marc and Ben also tie these dynamics to their investing worldview, outlining how supply-driven markets, major technological step changes, and reputation-driven venture platforms shape outcomes in the AI era.Timecodes: 00:00  Introduction00:46  How the media ecosystem is changing4:20  Why a16z invested in Substack6:28  Supply-driven markets and new content creation8:07  Why writers felt trapped by media companies10:09  Databricks and the 10x cloud multiplier13:58  Long-form podcasting proves demand15:40  What the new fund signals about the future16:24  AI as a universal problem solver18:49  Why market sizing is broken20:45  Go-to-market, policy, and platform power22:37  Turning inventors into confident CEOs25:58  Borrowing power to scale faster27:29  Building dreamers, not killing dreams30:46  Reputation as a core competitive advantage35:57  Taking arrows in public38:56  Avoiding big company failure modes40:39  Autonomous teams inside a16z41:54  Venture capital as the last job46:01  Why intangibles matter more than ever48:17  Original thinkers with charisma50:06  Why Zoomers are differentResources: https://www.notboring.co/p/a16z-the-power-brokershttps://www.a16z.news/p/firm-fundFollow Marc Andreessen on X: https://twitter.com/pmarcaFollow Ben Horowitz on X: https://twitter.com/bhorowitzFollow Erik Torenberg on X: https://twitter.com/eriktorenbergFollow Packy McCormick on X: https://twitter.com/packyM Stay Updated:If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: https://twitter.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zListen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYXListen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711Follow our host: https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg](https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

In this episode of The Nikki & Brie Show, the twins are embracing a new mindset: January isn't just about hitting the ground running, it's about slowing down, resetting with intention, and romanticizing rest. From soup season and puzzle nights to moon gazing and winter mood lighting, Nikki and Brie are leaning into the quiet magic of early 2026.Nikki reflects on rising from personal lows to high-vibe confidence and shares a message of hope for anyone feeling stuck: the journey is never over! Brie is slowing time with Bryan and the kids, and explains why she's letting nature lead the way into this year.The twins also take a hilarious look at what's in and out for 2026—think: clear boundaries, digital detoxes, romanticizing rest and quiet wins are IN, while hustle culture, comparison traps, and all-or-nothing diets are OUT. They both agree: there's no rush to bloom in January. Press play and slow down with us. Call Nikki & Brie at 833-GARCIA2 and leave a voicemail!
