Gun Owners of America (GOA) publicly challenged statements by ATF Director Robert Cekada regarding the FBI's NICS Monitoring program. Cekada stated that NICS alerts are not used to monitor lawful gun purchasers, that the program is not secret, is narrowly limited to federal firearms trafficking and serious crimes, and that only 61 ATF alerts remained active as of September 17, 2026, out of 14.6 million checks in 2025. GOA responded that the post contained two false statements and three misleading ones, citing past use by multiple agencies, prior enforcement of state laws such as California's assault weapons ban, and the program's origins as a hidden surveillance tool revealed via FOIA and a whistleblower. The Gist: All U.S. gun purchasers subject to NICS background checks; program historically used by ATF, U.S. Marshals Service, Secret Service, Army, and others nationwide. Impact: Raises ongoing concerns about warrantless surveillance of lawful firearm buyers, potential violations of Brady Act record-destruction rules, and risk of future abuse under different administrations; GOA argues it circumvents statutory limits on NICS use. Bottom Line: GOA disputes ATF Director Cekada's defense of the restricted NICS Monitoring program, asserting it still enables real-time alerts on legally approved purchases and was previously used more broadly, including for state law enforcement. Breitbart (Savage) H.R. Bill by Rep. Kevin Mullin (D-CA) to Redefine BB Guns as Firearms U.S. Rep. Kevin Mullin is pushing legislation to close what he calls "a dangerous gap" by redefining BB and pellet guns as firearms. Rep. Kevin Mullin (D-CA) introduced legislation that would amend the federal definition of ‘firearm' under the Gun Control Act to include BB guns, air guns, and certain non-powder propelled devices. The bill aims to subject these items to the same federal licensing, background check, and prohibited person restrictions as traditional firearms. Currently, BB guns are generally regulated as toys or under state laws rather than as firearms at the federal level. The Gist: Nationwide; would apply to manufacturers, sellers, and owners of BB guns, air rifles, and similar non-powder propelled devices across all U.S. states and jurisdictions. Impact: Would impose NICS background checks, federal firearms licensing requirements, and age restrictions on previously unregulated low-powered air guns; opposed by 2nd Amendment advocates as reclassifying children's toys and sporting equipment. Bottom Line: The bill seeks to expand the legal definition of ‘firearm' to encompass BB guns, subjecting them to full federal gun control regulations. The Truth About Guns (Savage) Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones Launches Firearms Accountability & Industry Responsibility (FAIR) Unit Virginia AG Jay Jones launches the FAIR Unit to investigate gunmakers and sellers under the state's new firearm industry liability law. On September 15, 2026, Virginia AG Jay Jones announced the creation of the FAIR Unit within the Office of the Attorney General's Civil and Criminal Justice & Public Safety Divisions. The unit enforces HB21/SB27 (Virginia Firearm Industry Standards of Responsible Conduct), passed by the 2026 General Assembly and effective July 1, 2026. It investigates and pursues civil actions against firearm manufacturers, distributors, importers, marketers, and retailers for violations including knowingly contributing to a public nuisance through unlawful or unreasonable sales, distribution, marketing, or practices facilitating illegal firearm acquisition or diversion. The Gist: Affects firearm industry members (manufacturers, distributors, importers, marketers, and retailers) operating in or affecting Virginia; applies statewide across the Commonwealth. Impact: Grants the AG authority to issue civil investigative demands, bring suits to enjoin violations, seek damages, restitution, and other relief; establishes “reasonable controls” requirements and public nuisance standards, expanding civil liability exposure for the industry beyond traditional federal protections. Bottom Line: Creates a dedicated enforcement team (hiring section chief, attorneys, prosecutors, and investigators) to hold the firearms industry accountable for practices linked to gun trafficking, straw purchases, or harm, aiming to reduce illicit firearm flow while critics view it as politicized regulation of lawful businesses. Breitbart (Savage) Gov. Gavin Newsom Signs Ten New Gun Control Bills Into Law California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed ten new gun control bills, one of which is designed to block 3D printers from printing firearms. On September 27, 2026, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed ten new gun-control measures into law. The bills expand restrictions on firearm sales, transfers, storage, and certain accessories or configurations, applying primarily to residents, retailers, and manufacturers operating in California....

What does "killing it" actually look like behind the scenes? Because sometimes it's a huge stage and an incredible opportunity. And sometimes it's a soggy airport sandwich, a missed flight, or admitting that something just isn't working. In this episode, Erin sits down with speaker, author, and emotional intelligence expert Rich Bracken for a chat about the side of success we don't always talk about (or get to hear). They dig into why we're so quick to measure accomplishments but ignore how we actually feel, the power of being honest about failure, and why vulnerability matters more than maintaining the appearance that everything is fine. Rich also shares his "Theory of Why Not," the mindset that has led him to take some pretty wild chances throughout his career, and why meaningful progress usually comes from consistent effort rather than trying to knock it out of the park every single day. Here's what you'll hear: Why your feelings deserve as much attention as your metrics What the polished version of "killing it" leaves out How asking "Why not?" can lead to unexpected opportunities Why small, consistent effort is more powerful than perfection How vulnerability, curiosity, and genuine care make us better leaders Connect with Rich on LinkedIn Learn more at richbracken.com.

Tweetable Comments "The feeling is data, too." "We all want to feel seen and heard and respected, so show that and you'll get it back." "If you put the other person first, everything else unfolds the way it should." "The best leaders I ever worked for or worked with were human beings. They were vulnerable, they were honest, and they cared." Editor's note: This transcript has been edited for clarity and length while preserving the substance and conversational tone of the original discussion. Erin Hatzikostas sits down with speaker, author, coach, and emotional intelligence expert Rich Bracken to talk about what success really looks like behind the scenes. They explore emotional intelligence, vulnerability, failure, leadership, consistent effort, Rich's "Theory of Why Not," and why some of the biggest opportunities in your career can start with simply being willing to take a chance. Success Is More Than a Metric Erin: I want to start by reading something from your book because this took my breath away. You wrote, "The most dangerous blind spot in change management isn't a missed metric. It's individual and group satisfaction. That's the left hook nobody sees coming. We get so obsessed with what we can measure that we stop paying attention to what we can't. The feeling is data, too." You talk about how we want everyone to believe everything is fine. We hit the number. It worked. We never heard no. Admitting that we came up short or something didn't work can feel like weakness, so we skip past it. We're much quicker to share our wins than our failures. And that instinct doesn't just apply to metrics. It applies to how we feel. We hide emotional shortcomings the same way we hide missed targets because vulnerability in either form feels like exposure. Rich: I think we need to chip away at this idea of perfection because, number one, it doesn't exist. Nobody is going to be perfect. Nothing is ever going to be perfect. The more people admit their failures, admit their shortcomings, or admit that something went wrong, the more honest we can be. I lost a contract the other day that was devastating to me. It was going to be huge for me. And the first thing I thought was, "I've got to talk to somebody about the failure." It's one thing to say everything is great and trucking along, but when those left hooks come, sometimes you need somebody to grab you and lift you off the ground. It's tough. Erin: I think this applies to people at every level of their careers. We get asked all these metric-driven questions. How many talks did you do? How much business did you bring in? What did you accomplish? My goal is two or three talks a month. That translates to around 30 talks a year, and I freaking love that. I don't necessarily want 100 talks a year. And when people ask how things are going, in general I'm like, "My life's fucking awesome." Not just because I'm hitting a number. My life in totality is great. We spend so much time talking about how many. Maybe we need to talk more about how it actually feels. What "Killing It" Really Looks Like Erin: Let's talk about "killing it," because when we met, we immediately started laughing about what people think success looks like versus what it actually looks like. What's an example of "killing it" for you? Rich: There are so many. If killing it looks like sorting through which airport sandwich is the least soggy because everything else is closed and I've missed three flights, then yes, I'm killing it. Does killing it look like sitting in front of my computer cursing because I can't find the last version of a presentation I worked on? Is killing it putting your PowerPoint into Google only to have your client download it and suddenly the font looks like Wingdings? That's the part people don't see. I love what I do. I wouldn't trade it for the world. But I think the closest comparison to a professional speaker's life is a touring musician. It's exhausting. You're traveling constantly. You're dealing with airports, weather, schedules, flights, hotels, and all of these things happening around the glamorous part people see. Erin: The facade is cool, though. Rich: Absolutely. And sometimes it really is cool. I'm about to speak in front of nearly 10,000 people. I have custom lighting. I have a walk-up video. There are going to be glow sticks, music, singing, dancing. It's going to look like I'm a rock star. But somebody asked me, "What are you going to do for the rest of the day?" I said, "I'm going back to my room, curling up in a ball, and not talking to anyone." That's what killing it looks like too. I know I'll walk off that stage on cloud nine, but I'll also be completely empty. I'll need to refuel. Erin: I have plenty of those stories too. Killing it was somebody reaching out to ask me to endorse a book, and then realizing they had confused me with the author of a completely different book. Killing it was getting what I thought was fan mail asking for my autograph six months after starting the podcast, then realizing somebody was probably trying to get my signature for fraud. Killing it was putting together footage for my speaker reel and discovering you could see my underwear when I turned around onstage. That's the behind-the-scenes version. Small Steps Can Change Your Entire Life Erin: One of the foundational stories in your life is losing more than 100 pounds. Tell us about that. Rich: I was a rail-thin kid and played sports year-round. Then I was diagnosed with exercise-induced asthma. I'm my parents' only child, so my mom basically said, "Stay inside, eat whatever you want, and play video games." I went from being outside constantly to being inside constantly, and I started putting on weight. By middle school I was the heavier kid, and I got teased quite a bit. Football became a saving grace because being bigger suddenly gave me an identity. I was an offensive lineman. I was the protector. I opened opportunities for the running backs and helped keep my friends safe. I eventually played a year of college football. Then I quit, and that identity disappeared. The eating habits stayed, but the workout habits went away. I got up to about 260 pounds. I fell into this really low self-esteem mindset. I didn't like what I saw in the mirror. I was miserable. Erin: Was there a specific moment that made you decide to change? Rich: It sounds silly, but I got tired of pulling my shirt away from my body. I was constantly adjusting it because I was afraid of my body showing. I was exhausted. I didn't have energy. I was depressed. I didn't want to do anything. I wasn't social. I finally had my diet analyzed, and everything was off the charts. Cholesterol, calories, fat, everything. My health instructor gave me something incredibly simple. He told me to replace certain foods with better options, eliminate fast food and carbonated drinks, and walk one mile a day. That was it. I didn't need to change everything overnight. I didn't need three hours of cardio or two hours in the gym. I just needed to do something small and see progress. Eventually I went from a 40-inch waist to trying on a pair of 34-inch pants in an Old Navy dressing room and screaming because they actually fit. Those moments taught me that I could change something huge by consistently doing small things. It transformed my life because I started to believe I could take on other things too. The Theory of Why Not Erin: That leads really naturally into something you call your "Theory of Why Not." What is it? Rich: I tell people all the time that I have the most ridiculous life résumé of anybody I've ever met. The things I've done, the people I've met, the situations I've put myself in, all of those experiences come back to the theory of why not. Why not give it a shot? Why not me? Why not try it? The worst you're going to hear is no. I don't ever want to die with all these ideas that might have been great, but I never acted on them. So many people are afraid to try because the possibility of failure exists. They don't want to say, "I want to do this thing," because what if it doesn't work? The Theory of Why Not is about getting out of your own head and getting out of your own way. I've been on several game shows. I've also missed several other ones because I took a chance on them and didn't get picked. I've had speaking opportunities, business opportunities, media opportunities, and all kinds of experiences. The ones people see are great. What we don't talk about are the dozens that didn't happen. The dozens of no's. The dozens of, "You're nice, but..." Those are the things we're terrified of. But I can say I've lived a very full life. If I went away tomorrow, I went for it. If you continually talk yourself out of opportunities, dreams, lofty goals, or ridiculous ideas, you'll never know what could have happened. Sometimes you have to ask, "Why not? What's the worst that could happen?" Taking a Chance With a Mix CD Erin: What's an early example of you living this way? Rich: When I was in graduate school, I had the opportunity to study in England. I was also DJing, and one of the top radio stations in the country happened to be about two blocks from where I lived. For those of you under 40, brace yourself. I took my mix CD to the radio station. I basically said, "I've loved the English music scene for years. It's one of the reasons I'm a DJ. I just want to know what you think. Am I any good? How do I stack up?" I told them, "If you hate it and never want to talk to me again, that's fine. At least I took the shot." Three days later, the station's marketing manager called me. She said, "You told me you have half-day Fridays and a rail pass, right?" I said yes. She said, "Great. We've booked you for six opening slots at different clubs around the country, opening for some huge DJs." All because I walked in and handed somebody a CD. I wasn't expecting that. I just wanted feedback. If I had never raised my hand, I never would have known. Some of the coolest things I've ever gotten to do happened because I was willing to take that kind of chance. Opening for Avicii and Going on Game Shows Rich: Another great example was auditioning to open for Avicii when he was one of the biggest DJs in the world. I was competing against people who were DJing regularly. I had a corporate job and was DJing on the side for fun. But I believed in my style. I believed in my energy. I believed I could earn that spot. So I auditioned. I got picked. I ended up opening for Avicii in Kansas City in front of thousands of people. It was phenomenal. That same mindset has led me to game shows, television, speaking, and writing a book. I was on $100,000 Pyramid. My partner was Von Miller, who had just won the Super Bowl and was the Super Bowl MVP. Usher was also there. He was a terrible game show teammate. Erin: Was he? Rich: Terrible. I was also on a reality show on ESPN, and I competed to host another television show. I made it to the final four and didn't get the job. But it was still an incredible experience. My ridiculous dream job is to host The Price Is Right someday. And the funny part is, because of one of the shows I was on, I'm now one degree of separation from that job. That alone is the Theory of Why Not. Erin: You're making me think I need to go on a game show. Rich: Why not? The Biggest Lesson Rich Learned From Being a DJ Erin: You DJed for a long time. Now you speak and coach executives, speakers, and professional athletes. What did being a DJ teach you that translates into what you do now? Rich: Two things. The first is self-awareness and self-confidence. People think DJing is just standing there pushing buttons and playing music, but there's an art to it. You're exposing yourself creatively. And if something goes wrong with the music, sound, or song choice, you can't hide. You're the person standing there controlling everything. Confidence, self-awareness, and believing in what you're creating matter. The second lesson is that it's not about you. One of my favorite pieces of advice is, "You're not more important than coffee." If an event has to choose between having coffee or having a keynote speaker, you're probably gone. They're picking coffee. Erin: They're definitely picking coffee. Rich: But the bigger point is this: whether you're a speaker, leader, salesperson, attorney, professional service provider, or anyone else, if you put the other person first, everything else unfolds the way it should. I've seen speakers go onstage and make the entire thing about themselves, their show, and their ego. It bombs. When somebody gets up there to truly engage the audience, help them, and serve them, people feel it. The same thing happens with DJs. And the same thing happens if you're pitching a client or running a team meeting. That's an audience too. If you show up with confidence in what you're doing, but your number-one priority is helping the people in front of you, that energy speaks for itself. You'll build better relationships and connect with people differently. Every Meeting Is a Stage Erin: That translates directly to people in traditional corporate roles too. You can walk into a board meeting, staff meeting, presentation, or one-on-one and feel that same stage fright. You start believing perfection is the game. But even if you're the person leading the meeting or walking everyone through the PowerPoint, it's not about you. How do you make the other people feel? How do you make sure they're engaged? Rich: Exactly. And it's hard to fake. People need to spend time off the stage thinking about what they do, why they do it, and how they help people. Your "stage" could be a boardroom. It could be a speaker stage. It could be a DJ booth. It could be whatever auditorium your profession puts you in. When you're serving people and helping people, you make them feel good, but you also feel better because there's meaning behind what you're doing. Behind the Successful Face Erin: You've coached CEOs, speakers, professional athletes, and even celebrities. What trips people up behind closed doors that might surprise us? Rich: Deep down, we're all a little insecure. We all second-guess ourselves. We all deal with some level of, "I don't know. I'm not sure. Why me? Can I do this?" People put their successful face on for the world, and we forget they're human. People get hurt. They fail. They get scared. I'll coach somebody who looks incredibly successful from the outside, and then behind the scenes they'll say, "I don't know," or, "I tried this and it didn't work, and it really hurt." I think one of the reasons I connect with people is that I treat everybody like a human being I care about. When you do that, you connect differently. When a relationship is transactional and you're clearly after something, people can smell it like a shark smells blood in the water. Serve people first. Reach out genuinely. Ask questions that show you actually give a damn about who they are as people. We all want to feel seen and heard and respected, so show that and you'll get it back. Consistency Beats Trying to Knock It Out of the Park Erin: You've kept the weight off for 27 years, so obviously consistency has been a huge part of your life. What do people misunderstand about consistent effort? Rich: We have this idea that every time we do something it has to be some knock-it-out-of-the-park experience. That's not accurate. Let's say you want to get back into working out. If you go stretch for three minutes, that's something. If you do a one-minute plank, that's something. If you walk for five minutes, that's success. That is consistency of effort. There are days I feel great. I'm working out, I'm listening to music, and everything clicks. There are other days when the last effing thing I want to do is lift a weight. If I do 10 minutes on one of those days, I can call it a success. At my level of energy and care in that moment, doing something is a win. I don't slay every workout. Sometimes I get up intending to work out and realize I'm not going to do it well. So instead of beating myself up, I shift my mindset and say, "Today I'm going to deal with whatever garbage is holding me back, and tomorrow I'm going to show up better." Erin: I think the other part of consistency is choosing the thing you're actually likely to do. People ask, "Should I ride a bike? Should I run? Should I walk? Should I lift weights?" Pick the thing you're most likely to keep doing. I was just talking to my son, who is trying to grow his speaking platform. He said he needed to figure out the marketing stuff. I gave him a bunch of options and then told him, "You have to pick the thing that actually excites you." All of these things can work, and all of them can fail. Pick the thing you're most likely to consistently do. The same applies to leadership. Leadership can feel like you're supposed to read 72 books and do 80 things every day. What if you picked one thing you were going to consistently do instead? The Best Leaders Are Still Human Rich: As people move up in organizations and take on more responsibility, they often become more visible, more guarded, and more concerned about the impact of their decisions. At the same time, there are so many corporate experts and thought leaders telling people how they're supposed to lead that we start thinking we need to show up like Simon Sinek, Mel Robbins, or somebody else every day. The best leaders I ever worked for or worked with were human beings. They were vulnerable. They were honest. And they cared. I've worked for great bosses, and I've worked for dumpster-fire bosses. The stark difference is that the great ones cared and stayed human. Read the books. Listen to the podcasts. Go to the seminars. But don't lose track of why you're doing what you're doing or what makes it meaningful and fun for you. Erin: I've joked that from a traditional Leadership 101 perspective, I'm probably a B-minus. I'm not a great planner. I might walk into a meeting without an agenda. I don't always package feedback perfectly. But I always felt like authenticity was this trump card. It didn't wipe away every mistake, but if you can set aside your ego, be honest, show humility, and genuinely care about people, that covers a lot. Being Good at the Job Does Not Automatically Make You a Good Leader Rich: One mistake organizations make is assuming, "This person is really good at the thing, so we should make them the leader of the thing." You're a great salesperson, so we make you a regional sales director. You're a great marketer, so we make you the chief marketing officer. That doesn't automatically mean you're going to be a great leader. Sometimes people don't even want the leadership job, but they feel guilty saying no because it comes with more money, credibility, or status. Organizations need to become better at identifying who actually wants to lead and who has the potential to do it well. And once you become a leader, the job changes. If you're a regional director of sales, you aren't primarily selling anymore. You're guiding and coaching other people to become better salespeople. It's literally a people job, not a thing job. I coached somebody once who kept saying, "I don't understand why they don't do this. I don't understand why they complain about that." And I said, "Ask them." Ask them why they're not motivated. Ask them what they need. You're their coach. The coach of a football team isn't running onto the field and playing with the seventh graders. The coach prepares them to play. That's what leaders do. It's about serving your people. And you have to remember that what worked for you may not work for everybody. Different people require different communication, different motivation, and different support. As a leader, you need to ask questions, become more socially aware, develop trust, and understand the nuance of each person on your team. When "Why Not?" Means Trusting Your Judgment Erin: We ask every guest about their "Buck That" moment. What's a time when you went against what was expected, felt a little uncomfortable doing it, but good things happened because of it? Rich: I was working at a law firm doing business development, and one of the attorneys and I identified a huge business opportunity. It was going to require some extra work and a little thinking outside the box, but we mapped out a path to make it happen. I went to my CMO and explained the idea. She said, "Absolutely not." She didn't ask a single question. Not, "Tell me more." Not, "What could we gain?" Not, "What would this take?" Just no. I was pissed because I felt like the idea had been dismissed without any curiosity. Now, I'll do crazy things and take chances, but I'm also calculated about it. I'm not reckless. I had really thought through this opportunity, and I believed it would work. So I did it anyway. I recruited a few people who were willing to help me after hours. We got the project finished ahead of the deadline and launched it. Eventually my CMO appeared in my doorway holding a printed copy of the email announcing the initiative I had been told not to do. She said, "What is this?" On the outside I was very apologetic. On the inside, I was thinking, "Ha." She was absolutely livid. But two things happened. The attorney I partnered with ended up getting national recognition in The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg and became a recognized expert on the subject. Later, after I had left the firm, he called me. He had just signed the biggest deal in the firm's history. He told me, "I just want to thank you for sticking your neck out. You believed in me and you believed in this project." I'll never forget that. I'm not advocating complete rebellion. But sometimes you have to trust yourself enough to recognize that you've thought something through and you know what the right move is. Sometimes you need to do what's right for the business, but do it your way. Make Work Suck Less by Finding a Way to Have Fun Erin: Last question. What's one thing people can do to make work suck less? Rich: Find a way to have fun. Even if you're sitting there thinking, "I'm an accountant. How?" One of the things I do with audiences is build playlists together. Everybody scans a QR code and submits a song that makes them happy. The playlists are hilarious and amazing. Then I send the playlist back to the company and tell everybody to keep the link. When you need five minutes of happiness, five minutes of energy, or five minutes to shift your mood, go to the playlist and pick a song. It may not even be your song, but somebody you work with chose it because it makes them happy. Try something new. Take five minutes.

You just have to figure out what that looks like for you. Erin: Why not? Rich: Exactly. Why not?

One CPA firm owner received 11 offers and chose the buyer he liked best. That buyer paid above asking price even after learning the firm's cash flow was lower than reported. Outcomes like that happen when sellers have leverage. In this episode of The Accountant's Flight Plan, Brannon Poe and Morry Brown, Poe Group Advisors' Regional Market Leader for California, look at what matters after price in accounting firm M&A: buyer fit, leverage, and control of the timeline.About a third of CPA firm owners on Poe Group Advisors webinars say they have received an unsolicited letter of intent. Morry explains why LOI terms are almost always the best they will be, why diligence tends to lower them, and why the exclusivity clause is usually the only binding part of a non-binding LOI. One seller spent six figures in attorney fees on a one-on-one deal that fell apart at the last minute.A structured process with multiple buyers changes those dynamics. When a buyer backed out of a San Francisco deal in early January, Poe Group Advisors brought in a backup buyer and closed in two weeks, before tax season began. That firm sold for a 10x multiple with 90% cash at close. Brannon and Morry also cover partner alignment, how to define success a year after closing, and why the selling season for CPA firms runs from June through December.The Conversation Covers:Why LOI terms are usually the best they will be, and how diligence tends to lower themWhy the exclusivity clause is the one binding part of a non-binding LOIHow a backup buyer closed a San Francisco deal in two weeks after the first buyer backed outHow a seller with 11 offers got his preferred buyer to pay above askWhy defining success a year after closing helps CPA firm owners choose the right buyerHow clustering buyer conversations creates real momentum and stronger termsPrice matters in any accounting practice sale. But for most CPA firm owners, the deal they feel good about a year later is the one where the buyer fits their clients, their team, and their goals.This Episode Is For...This episode is for CPA firm owners who have received an unsolicited offer and are wondering how to evaluate it, partners ready to align on goals before exploring firm succession, and public accounting leaders curious about how multiple buyers change leverage in an accounting firm M&A process. It is also for owners who care deeply about their clients and staff and want a buyer who will take care of both.Timestamps: 00:00 - The Price Is Right.

What does "killing it" actually look like behind the scenes? Because sometimes it's a huge stage and an incredible opportunity. And sometimes it's a soggy airport sandwich, a missed flight, or admitting that something just isn't working. In this episode, Erin sits down with speaker, author, and emotional intelligence expert Rich Bracken for a chat about the side of success we don't always talk about (or get to hear). They dig into why we're so quick to measure accomplishments but ignore how we actually feel, the power of being honest about failure, and why vulnerability matters more than maintaining the appearance that everything is fine. Rich also shares his "Theory of Why Not," the mindset that has led him to take some pretty wild chances throughout his career, and why meaningful progress usually comes from consistent effort rather than trying to knock it out of the park every single day. Here's what you'll hear: Why your feelings deserve as much attention as your metrics What the polished version of "killing it" leaves out How asking "Why not?" can lead to unexpected opportunities Why small, consistent effort is more powerful than perfection How vulnerability, curiosity, and genuine care make us better leaders Connect with Rich on LinkedIn Learn more at richbracken.com.

Tweetable Comments "The feeling is data, too." "We all want to feel seen and heard and respected, so show that and you'll get it back." "If you put the other person first, everything else unfolds the way it should." "The best leaders I ever worked for or worked with were human beings. They were vulnerable, they were honest, and they cared." Editor's note: This transcript has been edited for clarity and length while preserving the substance and conversational tone of the original discussion. Erin Hatzikostas sits down with speaker, author, coach, and emotional intelligence expert Rich Bracken to talk about what success really looks like behind the scenes. They explore emotional intelligence, vulnerability, failure, leadership, consistent effort, Rich's "Theory of Why Not," and why some of the biggest opportunities in your career can start with simply being willing to take a chance. Success Is More Than a Metric Erin: I want to start by reading something from your book because this took my breath away. You wrote, "The most dangerous blind spot in change management isn't a missed metric. It's individual and group satisfaction. That's the left hook nobody sees coming. We get so obsessed with what we can measure that we stop paying attention to what we can't. The feeling is data, too." You talk about how we want everyone to believe everything is fine. We hit the number. It worked. We never heard no. Admitting that we came up short or something didn't work can feel like weakness, so we skip past it. We're much quicker to share our wins than our failures. And that instinct doesn't just apply to metrics. It applies to how we feel. We hide emotional shortcomings the same way we hide missed targets because vulnerability in either form feels like exposure. Rich: I think we need to chip away at this idea of perfection because, number one, it doesn't exist. Nobody is going to be perfect. Nothing is ever going to be perfect. The more people admit their failures, admit their shortcomings, or admit that something went wrong, the more honest we can be. I lost a contract the other day that was devastating to me. It was going to be huge for me. And the first thing I thought was, "I've got to talk to somebody about the failure." It's one thing to say everything is great and trucking along, but when those left hooks come, sometimes you need somebody to grab you and lift you off the ground. It's tough. Erin: I think this applies to people at every level of their careers. We get asked all these metric-driven questions. How many talks did you do? How much business did you bring in? What did you accomplish? My goal is two or three talks a month. That translates to around 30 talks a year, and I freaking love that. I don't necessarily want 100 talks a year. And when people ask how things are going, in general I'm like, "My life's fucking awesome." Not just because I'm hitting a number. My life in totality is great. We spend so much time talking about how many. Maybe we need to talk more about how it actually feels. What "Killing It" Really Looks Like Erin: Let's talk about "killing it," because when we met, we immediately started laughing about what people think success looks like versus what it actually looks like. What's an example of "killing it" for you? Rich: There are so many. If killing it looks like sorting through which airport sandwich is the least soggy because everything else is closed and I've missed three flights, then yes, I'm killing it. Does killing it look like sitting in front of my computer cursing because I can't find the last version of a presentation I worked on? Is killing it putting your PowerPoint into Google only to have your client download it and suddenly the font looks like Wingdings? That's the part people don't see. I love what I do. I wouldn't trade it for the world. But I think the closest comparison to a professional speaker's life is a touring musician. It's exhausting. You're traveling constantly. You're dealing with airports, weather, schedules, flights, hotels, and all of these things happening around the glamorous part people see. Erin: The facade is cool, though. Rich: Absolutely. And sometimes it really is cool. I'm about to speak in front of nearly 10,000 people. I have custom lighting. I have a walk-up video. There are going to be glow sticks, music, singing, dancing. It's going to look like I'm a rock star. But somebody asked me, "What are you going to do for the rest of the day?" I said, "I'm going back to my room, curling up in a ball, and not talking to anyone." That's what killing it looks like too. I know I'll walk off that stage on cloud nine, but I'll also be completely empty. I'll need to refuel. Erin: I have plenty of those stories too. Killing it was somebody reaching out to ask me to endorse a book, and then realizing they had confused me with the author of a completely different book. Killing it was getting what I thought was fan mail asking for my autograph six months after starting the podcast, then realizing somebody was probably trying to get my signature for fraud. Killing it was putting together footage for my speaker reel and discovering you could see my underwear when I turned around onstage. That's the behind-the-scenes version. Small Steps Can Change Your Entire Life Erin: One of the foundational stories in your life is losing more than 100 pounds. Tell us about that. Rich: I was a rail-thin kid and played sports year-round. Then I was diagnosed with exercise-induced asthma. I'm my parents' only child, so my mom basically said, "Stay inside, eat whatever you want, and play video games." I went from being outside constantly to being inside constantly, and I started putting on weight. By middle school I was the heavier kid, and I got teased quite a bit. Football became a saving grace because being bigger suddenly gave me an identity. I was an offensive lineman. I was the protector. I opened opportunities for the running backs and helped keep my friends safe. I eventually played a year of college football. Then I quit, and that identity disappeared. The eating habits stayed, but the workout habits went away. I got up to about 260 pounds. I fell into this really low self-esteem mindset. I didn't like what I saw in the mirror. I was miserable. Erin: Was there a specific moment that made you decide to change? Rich: It sounds silly, but I got tired of pulling my shirt away from my body. I was constantly adjusting it because I was afraid of my body showing. I was exhausted. I didn't have energy. I was depressed. I didn't want to do anything. I wasn't social. I finally had my diet analyzed, and everything was off the charts. Cholesterol, calories, fat, everything. My health instructor gave me something incredibly simple. He told me to replace certain foods with better options, eliminate fast food and carbonated drinks, and walk one mile a day. That was it. I didn't need to change everything overnight. I didn't need three hours of cardio or two hours in the gym. I just needed to do something small and see progress. Eventually I went from a 40-inch waist to trying on a pair of 34-inch pants in an Old Navy dressing room and screaming because they actually fit. Those moments taught me that I could change something huge by consistently doing small things. It transformed my life because I started to believe I could take on other things too. The Theory of Why Not Erin: That leads really naturally into something you call your "Theory of Why Not." What is it? Rich: I tell people all the time that I have the most ridiculous life résumé of anybody I've ever met. The things I've done, the people I've met, the situations I've put myself in, all of those experiences come back to the theory of why not. Why not give it a shot? Why not me? Why not try it? The worst you're going to hear is no. I don't ever want to die with all these ideas that might have been great, but I never acted on them. So many people are afraid to try because the possibility of failure exists. They don't want to say, "I want to do this thing," because what if it doesn't work? The Theory of Why Not is about getting out of your own head and getting out of your own way. I've been on several game shows. I've also missed several other ones because I took a chance on them and didn't get picked. I've had speaking opportunities, business opportunities, media opportunities, and all kinds of experiences. The ones people see are great. What we don't talk about are the dozens that didn't happen. The dozens of no's. The dozens of, "You're nice, but..." Those are the things we're terrified of. But I can say I've lived a very full life. If I went away tomorrow, I went for it. If you continually talk yourself out of opportunities, dreams, lofty goals, or ridiculous ideas, you'll never know what could have happened. Sometimes you have to ask, "Why not? What's the worst that could happen?" Taking a Chance With a Mix CD Erin: What's an early example of you living this way? Rich: When I was in graduate school, I had the opportunity to study in England. I was also DJing, and one of the top radio stations in the country happened to be about two blocks from where I lived. For those of you under 40, brace yourself. I took my mix CD to the radio station. I basically said, "I've loved the English music scene for years. It's one of the reasons I'm a DJ. I just want to know what you think. Am I any good? How do I stack up?" I told them, "If you hate it and never want to talk to me again, that's fine. At least I took the shot." Three days later, the station's marketing manager called me. She said, "You told me you have half-day Fridays and a rail pass, right?" I said yes. She said, "Great. We've booked you for six opening slots at different clubs around the country, opening for some huge DJs." All because I walked in and handed somebody a CD. I wasn't expecting that. I just wanted feedback. If I had never raised my hand, I never would have known. Some of the coolest things I've ever gotten to do happened because I was willing to take that kind of chance. Opening for Avicii and Going on Game Shows Rich: Another great example was auditioning to open for Avicii when he was one of the biggest DJs in the world. I was competing against people who were DJing regularly. I had a corporate job and was DJing on the side for fun. But I believed in my style. I believed in my energy. I believed I could earn that spot. So I auditioned. I got picked. I ended up opening for Avicii in Kansas City in front of thousands of people. It was phenomenal. That same mindset has led me to game shows, television, speaking, and writing a book. I was on $100,000 Pyramid. My partner was Von Miller, who had just won the Super Bowl and was the Super Bowl MVP. Usher was also there. He was a terrible game show teammate. Erin: Was he? Rich: Terrible. I was also on a reality show on ESPN, and I competed to host another television show. I made it to the final four and didn't get the job. But it was still an incredible experience. My ridiculous dream job is to host The Price Is Right someday. And the funny part is, because of one of the shows I was on, I'm now one degree of separation from that job. That alone is the Theory of Why Not. Erin: You're making me think I need to go on a game show. Rich: Why not? The Biggest Lesson Rich Learned From Being a DJ Erin: You DJed for a long time. Now you speak and coach executives, speakers, and professional athletes. What did being a DJ teach you that translates into what you do now? Rich: Two things. The first is self-awareness and self-confidence. People think DJing is just standing there pushing buttons and playing music, but there's an art to it. You're exposing yourself creatively. And if something goes wrong with the music, sound, or song choice, you can't hide. You're the person standing there controlling everything. Confidence, self-awareness, and believing in what you're creating matter. The second lesson is that it's not about you. One of my favorite pieces of advice is, "You're not more important than coffee." If an event has to choose between having coffee or having a keynote speaker, you're probably gone. They're picking coffee. Erin: They're definitely picking coffee. Rich: But the bigger point is this: whether you're a speaker, leader, salesperson, attorney, professional service provider, or anyone else, if you put the other person first, everything else unfolds the way it should. I've seen speakers go onstage and make the entire thing about themselves, their show, and their ego. It bombs. When somebody gets up there to truly engage the audience, help them, and serve them, people feel it. The same thing happens with DJs. And the same thing happens if you're pitching a client or running a team meeting. That's an audience too. If you show up with confidence in what you're doing, but your number-one priority is helping the people in front of you, that energy speaks for itself. You'll build better relationships and connect with people differently. Every Meeting Is a Stage Erin: That translates directly to people in traditional corporate roles too. You can walk into a board meeting, staff meeting, presentation, or one-on-one and feel that same stage fright. You start believing perfection is the game. But even if you're the person leading the meeting or walking everyone through the PowerPoint, it's not about you. How do you make the other people feel? How do you make sure they're engaged? Rich: Exactly. And it's hard to fake. People need to spend time off the stage thinking about what they do, why they do it, and how they help people. Your "stage" could be a boardroom. It could be a speaker stage. It could be a DJ booth. It could be whatever auditorium your profession puts you in. When you're serving people and helping people, you make them feel good, but you also feel better because there's meaning behind what you're doing. Behind the Successful Face Erin: You've coached CEOs, speakers, professional athletes, and even celebrities. What trips people up behind closed doors that might surprise us? Rich: Deep down, we're all a little insecure. We all second-guess ourselves. We all deal with some level of, "I don't know. I'm not sure. Why me? Can I do this?" People put their successful face on for the world, and we forget they're human. People get hurt. They fail. They get scared. I'll coach somebody who looks incredibly successful from the outside, and then behind the scenes they'll say, "I don't know," or, "I tried this and it didn't work, and it really hurt." I think one of the reasons I connect with people is that I treat everybody like a human being I care about. When you do that, you connect differently. When a relationship is transactional and you're clearly after something, people can smell it like a shark smells blood in the water. Serve people first. Reach out genuinely. Ask questions that show you actually give a damn about who they are as people. We all want to feel seen and heard and respected, so show that and you'll get it back. Consistency Beats Trying to Knock It Out of the Park Erin: You've kept the weight off for 27 years, so obviously consistency has been a huge part of your life. What do people misunderstand about consistent effort? Rich: We have this idea that every time we do something it has to be some knock-it-out-of-the-park experience. That's not accurate. Let's say you want to get back into working out. If you go stretch for three minutes, that's something. If you do a one-minute plank, that's something. If you walk for five minutes, that's success. That is consistency of effort. There are days I feel great. I'm working out, I'm listening to music, and everything clicks. There are other days when the last effing thing I want to do is lift a weight. If I do 10 minutes on one of those days, I can call it a success. At my level of energy and care in that moment, doing something is a win. I don't slay every workout. Sometimes I get up intending to work out and realize I'm not going to do it well. So instead of beating myself up, I shift my mindset and say, "Today I'm going to deal with whatever garbage is holding me back, and tomorrow I'm going to show up better." Erin: I think the other part of consistency is choosing the thing you're actually likely to do. People ask, "Should I ride a bike? Should I run? Should I walk? Should I lift weights?" Pick the thing you're most likely to keep doing. I was just talking to my son, who is trying to grow his speaking platform. He said he needed to figure out the marketing stuff. I gave him a bunch of options and then told him, "You have to pick the thing that actually excites you." All of these things can work, and all of them can fail. Pick the thing you're most likely to consistently do. The same applies to leadership. Leadership can feel like you're supposed to read 72 books and do 80 things every day. What if you picked one thing you were going to consistently do instead? The Best Leaders Are Still Human Rich: As people move up in organizations and take on more responsibility, they often become more visible, more guarded, and more concerned about the impact of their decisions. At the same time, there are so many corporate experts and thought leaders telling people how they're supposed to lead that we start thinking we need to show up like Simon Sinek, Mel Robbins, or somebody else every day. The best leaders I ever worked for or worked with were human beings. They were vulnerable. They were honest. And they cared. I've worked for great bosses, and I've worked for dumpster-fire bosses. The stark difference is that the great ones cared and stayed human. Read the books. Listen to the podcasts. Go to the seminars. But don't lose track of why you're doing what you're doing or what makes it meaningful and fun for you. Erin: I've joked that from a traditional Leadership 101 perspective, I'm probably a B-minus. I'm not a great planner. I might walk into a meeting without an agenda. I don't always package feedback perfectly. But I always felt like authenticity was this trump card. It didn't wipe away every mistake, but if you can set aside your ego, be honest, show humility, and genuinely care about people, that covers a lot. Being Good at the Job Does Not Automatically Make You a Good Leader Rich: One mistake organizations make is assuming, "This person is really good at the thing, so we should make them the leader of the thing." You're a great salesperson, so we make you a regional sales director. You're a great marketer, so we make you the chief marketing officer. That doesn't automatically mean you're going to be a great leader. Sometimes people don't even want the leadership job, but they feel guilty saying no because it comes with more money, credibility, or status. Organizations need to become better at identifying who actually wants to lead and who has the potential to do it well. And once you become a leader, the job changes. If you're a regional director of sales, you aren't primarily selling anymore. You're guiding and coaching other people to become better salespeople. It's literally a people job, not a thing job. I coached somebody once who kept saying, "I don't understand why they don't do this. I don't understand why they complain about that." And I said, "Ask them." Ask them why they're not motivated. Ask them what they need. You're their coach. The coach of a football team isn't running onto the field and playing with the seventh graders. The coach prepares them to play. That's what leaders do. It's about serving your people. And you have to remember that what worked for you may not work for everybody. Different people require different communication, different motivation, and different support. As a leader, you need to ask questions, become more socially aware, develop trust, and understand the nuance of each person on your team. When "Why Not?" Means Trusting Your Judgment Erin: We ask every guest about their "Buck That" moment. What's a time when you went against what was expected, felt a little uncomfortable doing it, but good things happened because of it? Rich: I was working at a law firm doing business development, and one of the attorneys and I identified a huge business opportunity. It was going to require some extra work and a little thinking outside the box, but we mapped out a path to make it happen. I went to my CMO and explained the idea. She said, "Absolutely not." She didn't ask a single question. Not, "Tell me more." Not, "What could we gain?" Not, "What would this take?" Just no. I was pissed because I felt like the idea had been dismissed without any curiosity. Now, I'll do crazy things and take chances, but I'm also calculated about it. I'm not reckless. I had really thought through this opportunity, and I believed it would work. So I did it anyway. I recruited a few people who were willing to help me after hours. We got the project finished ahead of the deadline and launched it. Eventually my CMO appeared in my doorway holding a printed copy of the email announcing the initiative I had been told not to do. She said, "What is this?" On the outside I was very apologetic. On the inside, I was thinking, "Ha." She was absolutely livid. But two things happened. The attorney I partnered with ended up getting national recognition in The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg and became a recognized expert on the subject. Later, after I had left the firm, he called me. He had just signed the biggest deal in the firm's history. He told me, "I just want to thank you for sticking your neck out. You believed in me and you believed in this project." I'll never forget that. I'm not advocating complete rebellion. But sometimes you have to trust yourself enough to recognize that you've thought something through and you know what the right move is. Sometimes you need to do what's right for the business, but do it your way. Make Work Suck Less by Finding a Way to Have Fun Erin: Last question. What's one thing people can do to make work suck less? Rich: Find a way to have fun. Even if you're sitting there thinking, "I'm an accountant. How?" One of the things I do with audiences is build playlists together. Everybody scans a QR code and submits a song that makes them happy. The playlists are hilarious and amazing. Then I send the playlist back to the company and tell everybody to keep the link. When you need five minutes of happiness, five minutes of energy, or five minutes to shift your mood, go to the playlist and pick a song. It may not even be your song, but somebody you work with chose it because it makes them happy. Try something new. Take five minutes. Have the ridiculous singing and dancing party in your office or cubicle if that's what makes the day better. There is always a way to have more fun. You just have to figure out what that looks like for you. Erin: Why not? Rich: Exactly. Why not?

Ted Slauson was a devoted fan of The Price Is Right who spent years studying the show's prizes and prices. In 2008, his remarkable knowledge became part of one of the show's most famous controversies. Ted attracted widespread attention and raised questions about whether the game had been compromised. For Slauson, the story had an especially bittersweet ending. His extraordinary dedication to a show he loved helped create a moment of television history, but it also became connected to one of The Price Is Right's most controversial episodes.

A new study analyzed the effectiveness of mandatory gun storage laws versus educational initiatives in reducing firearm-related incidents among children and teens. The research concluded that laws requiring safe storage showed no statistically significant impact on accidental shootings or suicides, while programs focused on education and voluntary safe storage practices demonstrated measurable reductions in these incidents. The Gist: United States (national scope, with data drawn from multiple states implementing varying storage laws and education programs) Impact: Undermines arguments for expanding child access prevention (CAP) laws and mandatory storage legislation; supports shifting policy focus toward voluntary education and cultural changes in firearm safety training Bottom Line: Education, not coercive storage laws, is the more effective approach to reducing unintentional firearm deaths and injuries involving minors. Breaking News on Interstate Handgun Sales and Sales to 18 to 20 (Savage) Fifth Circuit Rules Federal Interstate Handgun Sales Ban Unconstitutional No description available The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit held that the federal ban on interstate handgun sales violates the Second Amendment. The ruling stems from a challenge by a federally licensed firearms dealer prevented from selling handguns to out-of-state customers. The court applied historical tradition analysis and found no sufficient founding-era analogue for the restriction. The Gist: Affects all states within the Fifth Circuit (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi) and sets persuasive precedent for federal interstate handgun transfer restrictions nationwide; applies to FFL dealers and purchasers seeking out-of-state handgun acquisitions. Impact: Invalidates 18 U.S.C. § 922(a)(5) and related provisions as applied to handgun sales between FFLs and out-of-state buyers; reinforces Bruen framework by requiring historical analogues for modern firearm regulations, limiting federal authority over interstate commerce in handguns. Bottom Line: Federal interstate handgun sales ban ruled unconstitutional under the Second Amendment. AmmoLand Shooting Sports News (Savage) Trump DOJ Declines to Appeal NFA Ruling in Garland v. Cargill Follow-On Case Trump ordered DOJ not to appeal the Silencer Shop ruling blocking enforcement of key NFA provisions for covered members and customers. The Department of Justice under the Trump administration has decided not to appeal a federal court ruling that struck down key provisions of the National Firearms Act (NFA) as applied to certain firearm accessories and short-barreled rifles. The decision follows White House intervention after an initial plan to appeal. The ruling originated from a lower court challenge building on the Supreme Court's Garland v. Cargill decision regarding bump stocks. The Gist: Affects nationwide enforcement of NFA restrictions on short-barreled rifles (SBRs) and related accessories; applies to all U.S. jurisdictions and firearm owners previously subject to registration and taxation requirements invalidated by the ruling. Impact: Eliminates further appellate review, solidifying the lower court's finding that portions of the NFA violate the Second Amendment or are unconstitutionally vague; represents a significant policy shift by the Trump DOJ toward reduced NFA enforcement and aligns with pro-2A deregulation efforts. Bottom Line: NFA restrictions on SBRs and certain accessories are effectively unenforceable pending further legislative action; marks a major victory for Second Amendment advocates without requiring Congressional repeal. Breitbart (Savage) Gov. Kathy Hochul Rejects DOJ, Will Continue to Ban Handgun Sales to 18-20 Year-Olds The DOJ found the ban on handgun sales to 18-20 year-olds "unconstitutional" but Gov. Hochul made clear the ban will remain in force in NY. New York Governor Kathy Hochul stated that the state will maintain its prohibition on handgun sales to individuals aged 18-20 despite the U.S. Department of Justice's position. The policy conflicts with recent federal guidance and court rulings recognizing 18-to-20-year-olds' Second Amendment rights to purchase handguns....

Who belongs on the Mount Rushmore of game show hosts? In this episode of JJ Meets World, JJ and Tucker revisit the personalities who defined game shows across generations, including Bob Barker, Alex Trebek, Pat Sajak, Vanna White, Richard Dawson, Mark Summers, Gene Rayburn, Steve Harvey, Drew Carey, and Howie Mandel. They debate longevity, personality, controversy, celebrity, and what separates a true game show host from a celebrity who simply gets hired to host one. The conversation also becomes a trip through classic television, from The Price Is Right, Jeopardy!, Wheel of Fortune, Family Feud, Match Game, and Deal or No Deal to Nickelodeon favorites like Double Dare, GUTS, Legends of the Hidden Temple, and Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? JJ shares stories about meeting Mark Summers, a Fargo connection to the original Double Dare sets, brushing past Greg Lee as a kid, and why game show parodies like 30 Rock's Gold Case remain so funny. 00:00 Intro: Come On Down! 01:11 Who Is the Greatest Game Show Host? 02:14 Bob Barker Enters the GOAT Debate 03:37 Drew Carey and The Price Is Right 04:17 Pat Sajak, Wheel of Fortune, and Controversies 06:18 Vanna White and the Best Job on Television 07:29 Alex Trebek and Jeopardy! 08:17 Richard Dawson and Family Feud 08:55 The Famous "September" Family Feud Answer 09:36 Bob Barker's Pop Culture Legacy 10:00 Wheel of Fortune Announcer Controversy 11:47 JJ Meets Mark Summers 12:10 Double Dare, Unwrapped, and Mark Summers 13:20 How Mark Summers Got His Name 13:44 The Mark Summers Stage Show 14:00 Fargo's Connection to the Double Dare Set 15:20 Game Show Hosts With Multiple Careers 16:04 Bob Barker Before The Price Is Right 17:25 Steve Harvey and the Celebrity Host Era 19:24 Is America's Funniest Home Videos a Game Show? 20:07 Greg Lee and Carmen Sandiego 21:02 Greg Lee, Eye of the Dolphin, and Doug 22:56 Nickelodeon Game Shows We Thought We Could Win 23:12 Legends of the Hidden Temple 24:27 Nickelodeon GUTS 25:45 The Game Show Host Mount Rushmore 26:11 Gene Rayburn and Match Game 27:25 Howie Mandel and Deal or No Deal 29:34 Is American Idol a Game Show? 31:10 Does Whose Line Is It Anyway?

The group will focus on legal advocacy, restoration processes, and challenging federal and state restrictions that permanently bar many non-violent felons from firearm ownership. The Gist: Affects U.S. citizens nationwide convicted of non-violent federal or state crimes who face lifetime firearm prohibitions under current law. Impact: Advances Second Amendment restoration efforts for non-violent offenders, potentially influencing federal policy, state restoration laws, and ongoing legal challenges post-Bruen. Bottom Line: New nonprofit will provide targeted legal aid to restore gun rights for non-violent convicts, expanding access to firearms for a population often excluded from Second Amendment protections. AmmoLand Shooting Sports News (Savage) Supreme Court Orders New York City to Defend Stun Gun Ban in Caetano 2.0 The Supreme Court orders New York City to respond in Calce, a Second Amendment case challenging its ban on civilian stun guns and Tasers. The U.S. Supreme Court has granted certiorari or issued an order requiring New York City to respond to and defend its ban on stun guns and tasers in a new case styled as a follow-on to Caetano v. Massachusetts (2016). In Caetano, the Court unanimously held that stun guns are protected ‘arms' under the Second Amendment. The article details the procedural step forcing NYC to justify its local prohibition in light of that precedent and subsequent Second Amendment jurisprudence. The Gist: New York City residents and individuals subject to the NYC stun gun / electronic dart gun prohibition; builds on the Massachusetts law struck down in Caetano v. Massachusetts. Impact: Requires the City to file a defense of its ban under the Second Amendment framework established in Caetano, Bruen, and related cases; may lead to further Supreme Court clarification on ‘arms' that are in common use for self-defense. Bottom Line: Supreme Court is forcing New York City to defend its stun gun ban in light of the 2016 Caetano precedent that already ruled such weapons are protected by the Second Amendment. Shooting News Weekly (Savage) Judge Who Sentenced Martinez Long Couldn't Figure Out Why He'd Carry a Gun for Protection in a Mall American Boomers Were Powerless to Resist the Ineluctable Appeal of Guns…Allegedly Impact: Highlights judicial skepticism toward lawful carry for self-defense in public venues; may influence sentencing outcomes and public perception of gun rights cases Bottom Line: Judge questioned rationale for carrying a gun for protection in a mall, underscoring divide between bench views and civilian safety needs bearingarms.com (Savage) Everytown Claims DOJ Opposition to Gun Ban Is About Helping Gun Industry Everytown claims DOJ opposes gun bans to aid the gun industry amid Second Amendment debates. Everytown for Gun Safety accused the Department of Justice of opposing a proposed ban on certain firearm components or accessories, alleging the stance primarily benefits the firearms industry rather than public safety. The article by Cam Edwards on Bearing Arms critiques this framing, highlighting the DOJ's legal and policy arguments against the ban. The piece frames the dispute as part of ongoing debates over gun control measures targeting industry interests. The Gist: Affects federal jurisdiction via DOJ/ATF policy on proposed gun ban (specific components not detailed in article) Impact: Undermines DOJ legal opposition by portraying it as industry protection rather than constitutional or statutory grounds; politicizes regulatory process Bottom Line: Everytown's claim reframes standard DOJ regulatory opposition as evidence of gun industry influence rather than legitimate policy disagreement. Reviews Review: bbates 5 whole squares good show great info met most the cast at gun con was awesome. better yet my buddy got them to sign one of his wifes maxi pads. yall are great keep it up, savage do your best. aron your absence is well welcomed Review: syntaxError404 We Like Shooting is the podcast equivalent of duct-taping a flashlight to a toaster and calling it “EDC.” The hosts are a lovable band of misfits who somehow manage to combine firearms expertise with the energy of a middle school lunchroom argument—if that lunchroom had access to ballistics gel and questionable life advice.Each episode is a masterclass in how to derail a conversation while still technically talking about guns. You'll get gear reviews, shooting tips, and enough off-topic tangents to make you wonder if you accidentally tuned into a therapy session for gun nerds. It's loud, it's chaotic, and it's probably the only podcast where you'll hear the phrase “tactical cheese grater” and not even blink. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys firearms, freedom, and the sound of grown men arguing over optics like it's a custody battle. Review: Not Fucking Bill, Would Do Jill Though ...

Jesse Arreguín (D-Berkeley), amends the Penal Code to require personal firearm importers (new residents bringing guns into California) to obtain a Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) and register firearms with the DOJ within 180 days, with violations as an infraction. Starting January 1, 2029 (or July 1, 2028 in some summaries), FSC applicants must complete a state-approved 4-hour training course including classroom instruction on safety, laws, and live-fire range exercises (CCW permit holders exempt). The bill passed both chambers, was enrolled, and presented to Governor Newsom as of August 30, 2026. It replaces the current written-test-only FSC process. The Gist: Scope (who/what states are affected): Applies exclusively to California residents and new arrivals (personal firearm importers) purchasing, receiving, or bringing firearms into the state; requires 4-hour live-fire training for FSC starting 2028/2029; closes loophole for interstate movers; statewide effect with exemptions for CCW holders and antique firearms; does not apply outside California. Impact: Expands regulatory burden on law-abiding gun owners and buyers by adding mandatory in-person training and live-fire exercises beyond the existing $25 written test; supported by Democrats and gun safety groups as closing safety gaps and aligning with states like Maryland/Hawaii; opposed by NRA, CRPA, and gun rights organizations as ineffective for reducing crime and increasing costs/barriers; passed on largely party-line votes (Senate 28-12 concurrence); now awaits Newsom's signature or veto. – Bullet 3: Bottom Line: SB 948 imposes California's first formal live-fire training mandate for most new and relocating gun owners starting in 2028–2029 while extending the compliance window for interstate firearm importers to 180 days; it represents further tightening of the state's already strict firearms regime with added time, cost, and logistical hurdles for legal acquisition and possession. Second Amendment Foundation (Savage) Presidential Pardon Issued for Patrick Tate Adamiak BELLEVUE, Wash. — Sept. 4, 2026 — In a closely watched and reported-on case by the Second Amendment Foundation's (SAF) Investigative Journalism Project editor Lee Williams, Patrick “Tate” Adamiak today has been issued a pardon by President Donald Trump. Adamiak was wrongfully arrested, charged and convicted of illegally possessing a toy machinegun after Biden-era Bureau President Donald Trump issued a full pardon to Patrick “Tate” Adamiak, who had been convicted on federal firearms charges. The pardon was announced by the Second Amendment Foundation, which had supported Adamiak's legal defense. The case involved a conviction related to possession of a machine gun and other NFA violations stemming from items found during a search. The Gist: Patrick “Tate” Adamiak (individual); federal jurisdiction (United States) Impact: Restores civil rights and sets precedent for Second Amendment clemency in non-violent firearms cases; highlights SAF's role in high-profile legal defense and pardon advocacy Bottom Line: Full presidential pardon granted to Patrick Tate Adamiak for federal firearms conviction bearingarms.com (Savage) United States v. Illinois: DOJ Files Amicus Brief Urging Supreme Court to Strike Down Illinois Semi-Auto Ban DOJ urges Supreme Court to strike down semi-auto ban, defending AR-15 rights under the Second Amendment. The Department of Justice under the Trump administration filed an amicus brief in a challenge to Illinois' assault weapons ban. The brief argues the ban on commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms and magazines is unconstitutional under the Second Amendment as interpreted in Bruen. The case could set national precedent on state-level semi-automatic rifle and magazine restrictions. The Gist: Affects Illinois' Assault Weapons Ban (PICA) and similar laws in other states restricting AR-15 style rifles, AK-style rifles, and magazines over 10 rounds; plaintiffs include gun owners, retailers, and organizations. Impact: Signals a major shift in federal government position on Second Amendment cases; urges SCOTUS to grant certiorari and invalidate the ban as inconsistent with historical tradition, potentially limiting future state-level firearm restrictions. Bottom Line: DOJ now supports striking down the Illinois semi-automatic ban as unconstitutional. Pew Report (Savage) They Counted 305. Only Three Were Real. – Pew Report A weekly newsletter from Legally Armed America is available for signup. Subscribers receive new videos plus tips and weekly deals. A Pew Report investigation examined claims of 305 mass shootings in a recent period. After applying a strict definition limited to public attacks with four or more victims killed excluding the shooter, only three incidents qualified as mass shootings. The analysis highlights significant discrepancies in media and advocacy group counting methodologies that often include domestic, gang, and other non-public incidents. The Gist: United States (national scope); affects public perception and data used by policymakers, media, and advocacy groups nationwide. Impact: Undermines inflated statistics frequently cited in gun control debates; reveals that broad definitions used by some trackers dramatically overcount events that do not meet traditional FBI-style mass shooting criteria, impacting legislative and legal arguments on firearms policy. Bottom Line: Only 3 of 305 counted incidents met the strict public mass shooting definition; most reported events were domestic, criminal, or otherwise unrelated to the stereotypical random public attacks.

Good luck, your gonna need it.

Kuzzo Fly — the Luniz member behind "I Got Five On It" — breaks down how two weeks in a Seattle jail cell at 19 years old turned a street hustler into a rapper, and why he walked away from a 14-year music career to build a BBQ sauce empire from scratch. Tyrone Jones sits down with Green Room Radio hosts Tru, Shane Sparks, and Little Raych for a raw conversation about Bay Area hip-hop, entrepreneurship after rap, and the real economics of performing.The episode traces Kuzzo Fly's full arc: pressing 5,000 CDs in a Dodge Intrepid, selling independent albums hand-to-hand across Texas, performing at 40,000-seat festivals and the Grammys with the Luniz, and then voluntarily retiring in December 2024 because the repetitive grind was killing his spirit. Jones details what rappers actually take home after flights, hotels, haircuts, outfits, and splitting a $5,000 check three ways — a breakdown that exposes why most touring artists earn minimum wage.Jones also tells the full story of winning $25,000 on The Price Is Right with Drew Carey, including wearing a custom shirt of his late grandmother who introduced him to the show, the emotional interview that got him selected, his Plinko strategy for dropping the chip at the base of the N, and how internet commenters exposed his rap career in the Price Is Right comment section and killed his press momentum. The woman who won the showcase had flown a red-eye specifically to win a car because hers was stolen — a moment Jones credits to God and manifestation.The conversation covers Kuzzo Fly's transition to The Sauce by Tyrone Jones, a barbecue sauce made with fresh onion and garlic instead of powdered ingredients, now sold on Amazon and in local stores through hands-on demo days. Jones shares lessons from watching every season of Shark Tank, explains why he refuses to scale into Costco before the brand is ready, and quotes Ice Cube's advice that entrepreneurs should expect five years of zero profit before anything pays off. A spirited debate over Chris Brown versus Michael Jackson dancing and whether Kobe Bryant deserves more respect than LeBron James rounds out the episode.

It has been discussed in firearms forums, YouTube gear channels, and tactical training communities as a low-cost, removable alternative to stippling or aftermarket grips. Common materials include cloth hockey tape for breathability and thin electrical tape or skate tape for minimal bulk. Gun Fights Play the best Price Is Right-style GunBroker game on the internet.

Grisham (24-0471): U.S. District Court Strikes Down New Mexico's 7-Day Firearm Waiting Period A federal court last week granted final judgment holding New Mexico's week-long mandatory firearm waiting period law unconstitutional. On August 31, 2026, U.S. District Judge James Browning issued final judgment in Ortega v. Grisham, declaring New Mexico's 7-day mandatory waiting period on firearm purchases unconstitutional under the Second Amendment. The ruling follows an August 2025 Tenth Circuit decision that found the post-background-check delay an impermissible burden on the right to keep and bear arms; the state's appeal was denied. The law, enacted in 2024 by the Democrat-controlled legislature at the request of Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D), was challenged by the NRA, Mountain States Legal Foundation, and National Shooting Sports Foundation. The Gist: The decision applies statewide to all firearm purchases in New Mexico, eliminating the 7-day waiting period that had been required after a background check cleared. Impact: The ruling reinforces post-Bruen Second Amendment scrutiny by invalidating a state law that delayed exercise of a constitutional right for law-abiding citizens, setting precedent within the Tenth Circuit against similar cooling-off periods. Bottom Line: New Mexico's 7-day firearm waiting period is no longer in effect; the court held that “a right delayed is a right denied.” "Major Incident" at ATF: Did Russian Hackers Just Get The Registry? – Legally Armed America YouTubeVideo | "Major Incident" at ATF A Russian-linked ransomware group called Qilin just listed the ATF on its dark-web leak site, prompting the Justice Department to formally designate the incident as a statutory "major incident" and notify Congress. In this video, Paul breaks down what actually occurred, analyzes the official statements, and shares the on-the-record response from ATF Director Robert Cekada—who directly clarified that core firearm owner systems like eForms and the NFRTR registry were completely untouched, naming the breached system as the standalone CALEA wiretap environment. What We Cover: The Incident & The Claim: How Qilin listed the ATF on their leak site and what double-extortion ransomware gangs actually do. The Legal Label: Why a "major incident" OMB tag forces congressional notification within 7 days. Director Cekada's Direct Response: The exact messages naming the isolated CALEA communications-intercept box. Separating Fact from Panic: Why your eForms, Form 4473s, and NFRTR registry records were not breached—and what data was actually on that machine. The Accountability Question: Evaluating the new ATF leadership, unresolved past enforcement raids, and where the line between transparency and caution stands today. #ATF #CyberSecurity #2A #eForms #SecondAmendment #LegallyArmedAmerica #newsupdate * Click here to sign up for the Legally Armed America weekly newsletter to receive the latest videos, tips, and deals of the week: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/mn7469k * Go to https://www.tristartrading.com/FTATF for Legally Armed America gear including shirts, hoodies, and caps you see me wear on the show! * Check out our partners at CMMG and use the Legally Armed America discount code FTATF10 at checkout to save on premium components and gear! * Sign up to AOR: https://attorneysforfreedom.my.site.com/signupattorneysonretainerus/s/?promoCode=FTATF&utm_source=LegallyArmedAmercia&utm_medium=youtube&utm_campaign=LegallyArmedAmerica-FTATF Attorneys On Retainer gives optimum protection in the unlikely event you have to draw your carry firearm!

Several U.S. states have recently passed legislation aimed at AI pricing tools that use consumer or competitor data. What is driving this spate of legislation, what different approaches are the states taking, and are the states sufficiently accounting for possible unintended consequences?

Listen to this episode to hear about the latest developments in AI pricing regulation and what the future might hold.

On August 12, 2026, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Navarre's Pastries in Springfield, Livingston Parish, Louisiana, uncovering a reported distribution hub for nine types of drugs including cocaine, MDMA, and Adderall, along with 52 firearms (bolt-action rifles, pump-action shotguns, one AR-style rifle, one Japanese Type 11 machine gun, and one stolen from the Sheriff's Office) and $3,550 in cash. Owner Jules Navarre faces 62 charges, primarily 52 counts of possessing a firearm in the presence of a controlled dangerous substance, plus possession of a stolen firearm and nine counts of possession with intent to distribute various drugs. Sheriff Jason Ard described it as a narcotics distribution hub; the business is currently closed and Navarre remains in custody, presumed innocent pending trial. Louisiana law permits disposition of seized firearms via auction, transfer, or sale to an FFL upon conviction or plea. The Gist: Scope (who/what states are affected): The raid and charges affect Jules Navarre and Navarre's Pastries in Springfield, Livingston Parish, Louisiana; the operation appears local to Livingston Parish with no interstate or multi-state distribution details stated. Impact: Navarre faces 62 felony-level charges under Louisiana law, with the majority tied to firearm possession alongside controlled substances, plus drug distribution and stolen property counts; seized firearms may be auctioned, transferred, or sold to a federal firearms licensee post-conviction or plea, highlighting state-level enforcement of combined drug-gun offenses. – Bullet 3: Bottom Line: A Louisiana bakery was allegedly used as a local hub for drug distribution and illegal firearm possession, resulting in dozens of charges against the owner and seizure of 52 guns and narcotics; the case remains ongoing with presumption of innocence. bearingarms.com (Savage) Giffords Board Member Sari Horwitz Discovers Shocking Fact About the Politics of Gun Control Explore the politics and campaign finance dynamics behind gun control after school shootings. Sari Horwitz, former Washington Post reporter and new Giffords board member, wrote in The Atlantic that a study found pro-Second Amendment groups increased political contributions by over 30% (up to 2,820% near elections) after school shootings. Bearing Arms columnist Cam Edwards argues this reflects smart political responsiveness rather than cynicism, noting gun-control PACs increased spending similarly and surpassed pro-gun groups by 2018, with the study showing no measurable effect on election outcomes. The Gist: Affects U.S. national gun control advocacy groups including Giffords and pro-Second Amendment PACs; focuses on federal and competitive-district elections following school shootings. Impact: Highlights perceived hypocrisy in gun-control advocates labeling pro-gun spending increases as cynical while their own PACs engage in identical post-tragedy fundraising; reinforces arguments that gun rights groups effectively counter emotional pressure for new restrictions without proven electoral impact. Bottom Line: The article frames Horwitz's Atlantic piece as advocacy journalism that ignores symmetric behavior by gun-safety groups, concluding her claims should not be taken at face value. bearingarms.com (Savage) Bryn Mawr Garwood LLC v. Iron Horse R&R LLC (CAM-L-002643-26) NJ developer sues long-standing gun range over alleged environmental issues in a potential land grab dispute. Bryn Mawr Garwood LLC, controlled by Pennsylvania lawyer and real estate investor Harvey Sternberg, filed suit in Camden County Superior Court against Iron Horse R&R LLC, a gun club operating since 1947 in Gloucester Township, New Jersey. The complaint alleges environmental violations including improper solid waste disposal, soil stockpiling, and potential contamination affecting adjoining properties, seeking to halt range operations. Iron Horse characterizes the action as a land-grab attempt to facilitate residential development on the adjacent Waddell Property, with a public hearing scheduled for September 4. The Gist: Scope (who/what states are affected): The lawsuit targets Iron Horse gun range in Gloucester Township, Camden County, New Jersey; it involves the adjoining Waddell Property under contract to Bryn Mawr Garwood LLC for potential townhome development (context of 750 additional units) and directly affects the long-operating private gun club and local township enforcement actions. Impact: Claims center on untested “potentially contaminated” soil and environmental harm under implied state statutes, with Sternberg's $44k+ in donations to local Democrats and PACs since 2021 noted; the case raises concerns over regulatory use against established ranges to enable redevelopment, with Iron Horse optimistic ahead of the Sept. 4 hearing. – Bullet 3: Bottom Line: This Camden County suit (CAM-L-002643-26) pits a developer against a 79-year-old New Jersey gun range in what the club calls a land-grab; no soil testing has been conducted on the alleged contamination, and the dispute will proceed to public hearing on September 4. The Truth About Guns (Savage) Abdul El-Sayed Floated Replacing 2nd Amendment with Constitutional Right to Health Care (Michigan U.S. Senate Candidate, 2023 Video) Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed once floated trading the Second Amendment for a right to health care. In a since-deleted April 6, 2023 YouTube video titled variations of “The Right to Bear Arms – The Right to Have Healthcare!”, Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed proposed amending the Constitution by replacing the Second Amendment's right to keep and bear arms with a “right to have health care.” He argued the change would result in “fewer people dying by gun and more people living because they have healthcare.” The clips were removed prior to his Senate run; his campaign later stated that he “respects the Second Amendment, and also believes that access to healthcare is a right.” The Gist: Scope (who/what states are affected): The proposal was made by Abdul El-Sayed, a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan; it would require a national constitutional amendment under Article V and therefore affect the entire United States, with particular political relevance to Michigan voters in the 2026 Senate race. Impact: The suggestion revives debate over repealing or altering the Second Amendment, a change that would face insurmountable Article V hurdles (two-thirds of both houses of Congress plus three-fourths of the states) and trigger intense opposition from gun-rights groups; politically, the resurfaced 2023 video has drawn criticism and scrutiny of El-Sayed's past progressive positions on guns, police funding, and July 4th celebrations during his current campaign. – Bullet 3: Bottom Line: El-Sayed's now-deleted video explicitly floated trading the individual right to keep and bear arms for a constitutional “right to health care” on the theory it would save more lives; the idea remains aspirational rhetoric with no legislative traction, and his campaign now emphasizes respect for the Second Amendment alongside support for expanded healthcare access. townhall.com (Savage) Gavin Newsom Signs the Stop Nick Shirley Act (AB 2624) Into Law Gov. Gavin Newsom signs the controversial Stop Nick Shirley Act, raising free speech and journalism concerns. On August 23, 2026, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 2624, known as the “Stop Nick Shirley Act.” The legislation targets citizen journalist Nick Shirley's investigations that exposed fraud schemes in nonprofit and government programs in California and Minnesota. It restricts publication of certain nonprofit information and prohibits unauthorized recordings or photographs of employees and volunteers. The Gist: Scope (who/what states are affected) The law applies only to California, imposing restrictions on nonprofit organizations, their employees, volunteers, and individuals conducting investigations or journalism within the state. It does not extend to other states. Impact: Legal/Political Impact The bill creates new limits on recording, photographing, and publishing information about nonprofits, with potential fines and imprisonment for violations. Opponents, including Senator Tony Strickland, Carl DeMaio, and Eric Daugherty, argue it chills free speech, journalism, and accountability efforts,...

ATF – N.D. Texas Strikes Down NFA Registration Requirements for Suppressors, SBRs, SBSs, AOWs Gun-rights groups are celebrating a federal ruling striking down NFA registration requirements for suppressors, SBRs, SBSs and AOWs. U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix (Northern District of Texas) ruled in *Jensen v. ATF* and *Silencer Shop Foundation v. ATF* that NFA registration, application, approval, and enforcement provisions for suppressors, short-barreled rifles (SBRs), short-barreled shotguns (SBSs), and any other weapons (AOWs) exceed Congress's powers once the associated tax was effectively zeroed out. Multiple gun-rights organizations hailed the decision as a major Second Amendment victory and a step toward dismantling the National Firearms Act. A seven-day stay expires August 12, 2026, with appeals likely to the Fifth Circuit; parallel SAF-backed cases remain pending. The Gist: Scope (who/what states are affected): Nationwide implications for owners and manufacturers of suppressors, SBRs, SBSs, and AOWs; ruling applies to enforcement of NFA registration requirements by ATF across the United States, though limited to the specific plaintiffs and likely to face immediate appeal. Impact: Decision holds that the NFA registration regime lacks constitutional basis without a tax, potentially invalidating core regulatory provisions; groups including FPC, GOA, and CCRKBA describe it as affirming the NFA's unconstitutionality and a historic win, with possible broader effect if upheld on appeal to the Fifth Circuit. – Bullet 3: Bottom Line: NFA registration and approval requirements for the listed items are struck down in this district-court ruling as exceeding congressional authority post-tax elimination; a short stay allows time for appeal, leaving the ultimate fate of the NFA provisions pending further litigation. Reviews Review: Alex W from California Review from Alex W Reviewing the cast as singers/bands. Shawn: Taylor Swift. Technically very good at what he does. But we hear so much of him that we all find ourselves wishing he would just go away once in a while. Nick: Nickelback. Honestly, we all thought he'd be dead by now. Nobody fully understands what keeps him going. But, somehow we all end up nodding along every time he comes on. Jeremy: Five Finger Death Punch. I really gotta explain this one? It's in the name. Savage: *insert random mumble rapper because I dont care enough to look one up* Nobody knows what he's saying. And wait, that's supposed to be music? Aaron: Kurt Cobain. Because, we can only hope. Review: Wes Sconsen from Wisconsin Blessings to all of you. Jeremy, go full stache. It's not creepy and you would make that shit look damn good. Sincerely, Wes Sconsen Review: Richard "Big Dick" Smoker from NJ Wrote by AI, with specific criteria by me. We Like Shooting is the podcast equivalent of discovering the group chat should've never been given microphones. Jeremy rocks a mustache that looks like it escaped a 1970s cop show and refuses to return to its natural habitat. Shawn somehow manages to host an entire podcast while carrying the weight of… well, let's just say gravity is doing him no favors. Nick has turned “I think I just trusted a fart” into a recurring personality trait. And Savage continues broadcasting from a state that seems determined to ban fun one regulation at a time. Despite all of that—or maybe because of it—the show is hilarious. You'll get firearms talk, gear reviews, industry news, and enough insults directed at each other to make you wonder why they're still friends. Nobody is safe, especially the hosts. If you want a squeaky-clean, HR-approved podcast, this ain't it. If you enjoy guns, sarcasm, and listening to grown men professionally bully each other for your entertainment, subscribe already.

AGENCY BRIEF: STREET SWEEPER / USAS-12 DESTRUCTIVE DEVICE RECLASSIFICATIONWhat this really was: In 1994, ATF took lawfully owned shotguns and shoved them into the NFA “destructive device” category. No vote in Congress. No new statute. Just an agency ruling that turned specific 12-gauge shotguns into the same legal category as grenades. The targets were the Striker-12, the Street Sweeper, and the USAS-12. The Striker and Street Sweeper used revolving cylinders. The USAS-12 was a semi-auto, magazine-fed shotgun. They all fired ordinary 12-gauge shells, the same kind of ammunition people put through hunting pum
