How does it feel to be actively retraining your nervous system? You're stepping out of survival mode and finding your footing. Hitting the middle of the week is often when external demands peak, making today's practice the perfect opportunity to witness your own growth and resilience. You are doing an incredible job sticking with this commitment to your inner peace—keep going. Today, our developmental arc is Protect. If you often finish your day feeling completely depleted, over-stimulated, or emotionally exhausted from absorbing the stress of your environment, your energetic boundaries are leaking. In this session, we explore the somatic neuroscience of energy conservation and introduce a high-performance physical seal—the Pran Mudra—to instantly ground your nervous system, stop sensory overload, and build a protective boundary around your peace. In This Episode, You'll Discover: The Porous Nervous System: The biological reason why high-achievers absorb environmental anxiety and hit sensory burnout fast. The Pran Mudra Protocol: How closing the nerve circuits in your fingers acts as a biological battery charger to protect your daily stamina. Somatic Shielding: A guided 10-minute meditation to help you drop your cortisol baseline, stop over-functioning for others, and reclaim your personal sovereignty. A Message for Your Heart You likely deeply care for everything and everyone in your orbit. You may be constantly holding up a massive vision, managing complex timelines, and anchoring the spaces you occupy. Because your heart is so big, it can be incredibly easy to let the chaotic energy of the outside world bleed into your personal sanctuary. Today, I want to remind you that protecting your peace is not selfish—it is an act of supreme inner sovereignty. You cannot serve from an empty well, and you do not have to be a sponge for the stress of the world to be successful. By holding the Pran Mudra today, you are safely sealing your borders and declaring that your peace is non-negotiable. Step back into your own power. You are doing an extraordinary job. This is day 4 of a 7-day meditation series, 3514-3520 Somatic Stress Relief. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY If you are tired of waking up already feeling overwhelmed, running on adrenaline, and dealing with that persistent background anxiety that makes it impossible to focus, you are in the exact right place. This week, we are stepping into a profound, 7-day somatic experience designed to pull you out of survival mode and return you to a state of calm, unshakeable power. We aren't just going to talk about peace; we are going to build it directly into your biology. Over the next seven days, we will layer powerful, science-backed tools—including ancient hand mudras like the Pran Mudra, deep rhythmic breathing protocols, target chakra alignments, and restorative physical resets—to train your body that it is safe to let go. Whether you are navigating a high-velocity career, balancing a mountain of daily demands, or simply trying to quiet an overactive mind before bed, this series is your ultimate biological reset button. Get ready to lower your cortisol, drop your shoulders, and reclaim your inner sovereignty. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: THE 30-SECOND COLD SPLASH At the end of your morning shower, turn the handle to cold for just 30 seconds. Alternatively, fill a bowl with ice water and submerge your face up to your temples for 10 seconds. MEDITATION TECHNIQUES: DAY 1: VISUALIZATION Visualize yourself seated next to people who calm you. DAY 2: AFFIRMATION "My body is safe, and I am at peace." DAY 3: THE EXTENDED EXHALE BREATHING TECHNIQUE Inhale through your nose for a count of 4, feeling your belly expand. Hold gently at the top for a count of 4. Exhale slowly through pursed lips (like breathing through a straw) for a count of 8. Repeat for 3 to 5 cycles to instantly lower your heart rate and drop cortisol levels. DAY 4: PRAN MUDRA (THE LIFE FORCE SEAL) This mudra acts like a grounding cord for a scattered, anxious mind while simultaneously replenishing drained energy reserves without overstimulating your system. How to do it: On both hands, bring the tips of your ring finger and pinky finger to touch the tip of your thumb. Keep your index and middle fingers extended straight out. Rest your hands on your lap, palms facing up. DAY 5: MULADHARA ROOT CHAKRA When the nervous system is overwhelmed, energy flies upward into a swirling vortex of overthinking. Dropping your awareness down to the Root Chakra—located at the base of your spine—anchors you. Visualize a rich, warm, steady crimson light grounding you deeply into the solid earth beneath you.

Adam's youngest son, John, locked himself in the bathroom. No big deal — kid's fine, sang songs in there for forty-five minutes like a champ. The problem was the doorknob. Broken cam, broken spring, faceplate screws on the wrong side, and no way in. So Adam did what any father of six at the end of a long day does: he took an angle grinder to the thing and ground the entire doorknob into a pile of metal shards on the floor. Dave's suggestion — order the door open under holy obedience — came in a little too late.Then Dave told on himself. Reseating a toilet, scraping the wax ring, already in a state of borderline rage. He bumped the tank against the tile and cracked it. In a fit of Herculean fury he hoisted the seat over his head, ready to Hulk-smash it into a million pieces — and heard, somewhere, his guardian angel. Jesus doesn't want you to do this. He set it down. Didn't destroy it. And got rewarded for it: American Standard honored a lifetime warranty he didn't know he had and shipped him a $1,600 toilet, free, to replace the $200 one he broke. Resisting the rage paid out at eight to one.Then a quieter note. Baby Mary is still in the NICU. They got her off the breathing tube — she lasted about 24 hours before she had to be re-intubated. Good progress, long road still ahead. Oklahoma City's two hours off, the kids are out of school, and the Minihans are looking at hiring a nanny. But Adam wanted to brag on Lady Haylee. A stranger at the NICU left her a handwritten note and a crochet sweater with Mary's name on it — telling Haylee her faith had been an encouragement, that God is using her right there in that place. Haylee wasn't trying to be a witness. She was just being a mother in a hard place. That's exactly why it landed. Keep praying for Mary.This week's pour: Smoke Wagon Uncut Unfiltered Straight Bourbon from Nevada H&C Distilling out of Las Vegas. 59.29% ABV — hand-written on the bottle, so every batch runs a little different. Hot, full-flavored, plenty of grit. Jim's yummy scale gave it a 6.0, which broke the scale, because the scale apparently only went to four until tonight.Then the real work. The spiritual significance of manual labor. Summer's coming — the season of labor — and the guys make the case that work isn't a curse of the fall. Adam was tending the garden before sin entered the world. His very name comes from the dirt — adamah — made from it, named for it, made to work it. St. Augustine: what's more wonderful than to watch God's creation respond to human hands? Aquinas gives his four reasons for manual labor — obtain your livelihood, remove idleness, curb concupiscence ("I'm almost too tired to sin"), and give alms from the surplus. And the deeper distinction: servile work, done out of necessity, and liberal work, done for the sake of rest. We don't work to work. We work so we can look at what we've made, see that it is good, and rest. Same thing a man does in the soil, he does for his wife — order the environment so the thing entrusted to him can thrive. Protect, provide, establish.It's hard. It's supposed to be. What did you think hard was going to be? The man who can fix things is a threat to the throwaway culture — and the same will that fixes a thing is the will that prays the rosary on the morning you'd rather not. Raise your glass.TOPICS COVEREDAdam grinding his kid's bathroom doorknob into shards with an angle grinder after his son John got locked inDave nearly Hulk-smashing a toilet seat in a fit of rage — and the guardian angel that stopped himHow resisting the rage earned Dave a free $1,600 American Standard toilet under a lifetime warrantyBaby Mary update — off the breathing tube for 24 hours, re-intubated, long road still aheadThe Minihans looking at hiring a full-time nanny with the kids out of schoolThe handwritten note and crochet sweater a stranger left Lady Haylee at the NICUHow you carry suffering as a Christian can be a witness even when you're not trying to be oneBourbon of the week: Smoke Wagon Uncut Unfiltered Straight Bourbon, Nevada H&C Distilling, 59.29% ABVJim's yummy scale hitting 6.0 and breaking its own four-point ceilingWhy we even have to talk about manual labor when it used to be everybody's daily lifeAttention as agency — guarding what you direct your mind toward in a world built to fracture itAcedia, apathy, and becoming a cog flung to and fro like Francesca in Dante's ninth circle"The world fears the man who can fix things" — Fr.

Welcome back to another episode of Protect Our Bucks the series where five buddies sit around and talk about whatever comes to mind. Hunting, non hunting, dumb theories, camp stories… nothing is off limits. In this episode we get into whether ticks are actually being dropped from planes, using boats to sneak into hunting spots, the best and worst parts about traveling to hunt, and why our Kansas camp is hands down the best camp out there and it honestly has very little to do with the hunting itself. This one is exactly what Protect Our Bucks is supposed to be. Just a bunch of friends BS'ing, laughing, arguing, telling stories, and talking about the stuff every hunting camp talks about once the cameras are off. Enjoy. . . .

Blue sharks are one of the most beautiful and misunderstood predators in the ocean. In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean, we explore how this sleek, cold water shark can change the way people think about sharks, especially when they see one off the coast of Atlantic Canada. Blue sharks travel enormous distances, follow ocean conditions, and play an important role in healthy marine ecosystems. They are predators, but they are also ambassadors for a better understanding of sharks. This episode looks at why sharks belong in the ocean, why cold Canadian waters are full of surprising life, and why fear can turn into fascination when people meet the right species.

The egg that will ovulate three months from now is starting to mature right now. In this solo episode, Michelle dives into one of the most hopeful conversations in fertility: the 90 day window of egg development. Both ancient wisdom and modern science agree that what you do during this window can directly influence the quality of the egg that eventually releases. Michelle walks you through what's actually happening inside your ovaries during those three months, bridges the modern research on mitochondria with the Chinese medicine concepts of Jing and Blood, and shares the five practical pillars she uses with her patients to support egg quality from the inside out. Whether you're trying to conceive naturally, preparing for IVF, or thinking about your fertility for the future, this episode is a foundational one. You have far more influence over your fertility than you've ever been told, and this episode shows you exactly how to work with your body during the window that matters most. Key Takeaways: • Egg development spans roughly a 90 day window, and the environment of your body during those three months directly shapes the quality of the egg that ovulates. • Eggs are the most mitochondria-rich cells in the body, which is why mitochondrial health is the foundation of egg quality. • The Chinese medicine concepts of Jing (essence) and Blood are describing the same phenomenon modern research calls mitochondrial health and ovarian blood flow. • Pillar 1 — Nourish with real food: prioritize protein, healthy fats, antioxidant-rich vegetables, iron-rich foods, and warming cooked meals. • Pillar 2 — Protect your mitochondria: CoQ10 (ideally Ubiquinol), omega 3s, consistent 7 to 9 hours of sleep, and personalized supplementation under a practitioner's guidance. • Pillar 3 — Support blood flow: acupuncture, gentle movement, abdominal massage (like Mayan or Arvigo), warmth over the lower belly and back, and no ice water around your cycle. • Pillar 4 — Regulate your nervous system: extended exhale breath work, time in nature, reduced screen time, pockets of silence. You cannot out-supplement a dysregulated nervous system. • Pillar 5 — Reduce your toxic load: swap plastic for glass, upgrade skincare and cleaning products, eat organic from the dirty dozen, filter water, and skip handling receipts. • Your body is asking for partnership, not perfection. One day does not make or break an egg; a pattern of loving care over 90 days is what shapes the environment.

Women make up a staggering two-thirds of all Alzheimer's disease cases, yet the conversation and research around aging and brain health often leaves them out. In this episode, Louisa Nicola, MMed, PhD, breaks down why this disease disproportionately affects women and reveals that the underlying cognitive changes can actually begin decades before a diagnosis, often starting in our 30s and 40s. Rather than viewing cognitive decline as a foregone conclusion, though, Nicola explains that up to 95 percent of cases are heavily influenced by lifestyle rather than strictly genetics, meaning the opportunity for prevention is in your hands. She explains how to make sensible daily adjustments to support your long-term brain health.

This week, we tackle the alarming rise in financial scams targeting retirees and their hard-earned savings. With insights straight from the FBI and real-world examples of scam attempts, I break down the key tactics used by fraudsters and reveal the subtle ways they can gain access to your retirement accounts. From sophisticated account takeovers to fake invoice emails, you'll learn the warning signs to watch for—and, most importantly, practical strategies to protect yourself and your financial future. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] How financial scams work and what listeners can do to protect themselves [03:27] Recognizing scam tactics and risks [09:38] Recognizing fake invoice scams [10:36] Email scams and malware threats [16:30] Adding verbal passwords for security [17:28] Avoiding financial scams Why Retirees Are in Scammers' Crosshairs Retirees often represent an attractive target to scammers, thanks to years of diligent saving and sometimes less familiarity with new scam techniques. With the Federal Bureau of Investigation noting a surge in financial fraud, understanding the mechanics of modern scams is essential. Scammers rely on a proven formula: Use of a trusted-looking sender Creation of a sense of urgency Sufficient believable details to seem legitimate When you recognize these methods, retirees and their families can more easily spot fraud attempts and prevent the devastating loss of hard-earned assets. Four Scams Every Retiree Needs to Know 1. The Account Takeover Arguably, the most damaging scam involves fraudsters masquerading as your bank or investment firm. It starts innocuously: a text asks if you authorized a transaction. Replying prompts a phone call from a supposed representative. Thanks to massive data breaches, these scammers may already know your personal details — they just need one missing piece. They'll convince you to read out a "security code" sent by your institution. Handing over this code gives the scammer direct account access, allowing them to transfer funds instantly. Importantly, because you authorized the transaction, financial institutions like Charles Schwab often won't reimburse the loss. 2. The Debt Collector Text Message Here, you get a text from a "debt collector" referencing a fictitious account, amount, or government agency. Designed to provoke fear and haste, these messages trick recipients into calling the number provided or clicking a link — both of which compromise your security or lead to unauthorized payments. 3. The Unpaid Toll Notification You receive an alert for a small, believable toll charge. With such a trivial amount, many people click the link and pay without thinking, handing over payment info to scammers who make larger, unauthorized withdrawals. 4. The Fake Invoice Email Sophisticated emails may claim to be from reputable companies like Microsoft, complete with realistic logos and urgent language about an outstanding invoice. The danger here is twofold: opening the attachment can load malware or ransomware onto your device, or responding to the invoice sends money straight to a crook. Always verify the sender before clicking links or attachments. Great Habits for Scam Prevention This is my seven-point toolkit to keep you one step ahead of scammers. Practice these habits consistently to stay safe: Slow Down: Scammers exploit urgency. Pause, breathe, and verify requests. Don't Answer Unknown Numbers: Let unfamiliar calls go to voicemail, especially those spoofing local area codes. Avoid Clicking Suspicious Links: Always visit official websites or use verified contact numbers when responding to alerts or billing issues. Guard Your Personal Information: Never share sensitive info like PINs, passwords, or codes unless you started the interaction. Use Authenticator Apps: These offer extra security beyond SMS-based codes, which can be intercepted. Add Verbal Passwords to Accounts: Financial institutions often allow this as an additional security measure. Assume It's a Scam: When in doubt, err on the side of caution and reach out to institutions through official channels. Diligence is Your Best Defense Scams will continue to evolve, but the best protection comes from vigilance and skepticism. Always vet instructions that involve your money, pause before acting, and confirm legitimacy through direct contact. Your savings represent a lifetime of work; protect them fiercely so they'll serve you for years to come.

Here's the summary rewritten in Richard's voice, speaking directly to the listener. You're growing, which means you're recruiting. But every time you go hard after new talent, this quiet fear shows up. Are you telling your best people they're replaceable? So you slow down. You recruit with one hand on the brake, and both your growth and your retention suffer for it. In this episode I want to flip that tension on its head, because recruiting and retention aren't competing priorities. They're the same skill pointed in two directions, and I'm going to hand you a five-move framework I call the Inward Playbook so you can win at both at once. Episode Breakdown [00:00:53] The Tension Every Recruiting Leader Feels Growth requires recruiting, but the second you go hard after new talent, that fear shows up that you're telling your current team they're not enough. So you recruit with one hand on the brake, and that's exactly why both your growth and your retention suffer. [00:01:25] The Twenty-Six-Year Marriage Principle I've been married to Leah for twenty-six years, and it's not because I was a good dater. It's because I never stopped courting her. The pursuit didn't end at the wedding. The pursuit became the marriage. And the same thing is true for the team you lead. [00:01:53] The Bait and Switch Most of us recruit like a great date and then lead like a flat partner. We pursue a producer hard, we cast vision, we make that person feel like the most important talent in the market, and then the moment they sign, we disappear into operational mode. About three to four months in, that producer realizes the person who recruited them isn't the person they work for. They won't always say it out loud, but they feel it, and they start answering the phone when your competitor calls. [00:02:43] The Framework: The Inward Playbook Whatever makes you compelling to a recruit on the outside, take that same energy and point it inward at the people you already have. Because if we're awesome externally and average internally, we can expect to lose our people. [00:03:15] Move 1: Cast the Vision Out Loud When your team constantly hears where you're going over the next one, three, and five years, recruiting stops feeling threatening and it starts feeling necessary. They get that adding people is how the vision actually gets built. But when your team never hears the vision, recruiting feels random, like you're chasing instead of building. [00:03:52] Move 2: Court the Team You Already Have Retention isn't about perks, it's about connection. Are you having consistent one-on-ones? Do your producers feel like you understand their goals? Do they know exactly how they fit into the next phase? Take the same pursuit you'd give a brand new recruit and turn it around and give it to the producer who's been with you for three years. When people feel seen, they don't feel replaced by growth. They feel like they're part of it. [00:04:20] Move 3: Make Recruiting a Team Sport When you get seven people involved with a candidate, that candidate is 71% likely to join the organization. So bring your team into the process. Tell them the kind of person you're looking for, ask for referrals, let your best people meet the recruit. And here's what's interesting, your best people tend to attract more people just like them. That's how culture scales. [00:05:01] Move 4: Recruit Up, Never Down When you recruit the right way, it raises the level of the team, it doesn't threaten it. Back in 2015 I sat down and looked at the prior year, and anybody I'd added that year grew their business by 32% on average. Growth isn't a threat to your current team. Growth is the rising tide. So the question is never am I recruiting too much, it's am I recruiting the right people. [00:05:40] Move 5: Name It and Put It on the Calendar First, name it out loud. Tell your team the truth, that you're going to keep growing and bring in strong people, and at the same time you're committed to helping every one of them grow inside of this. That kind of transparency removes the tension, because now nothing feels hidden. Second, protect it on the calendar. You can't spend all your time recruiting and expect retention to take care of itself, and you can't spend all your time managing and expect growth to show up on its own. You need rhythms, and when those rhythms are consistent, nothing gets neglected. [00:06:27] Why It Works People don't leave because you recruited. They leave because the version of you that recruited them disappeared. We're all wired to notice when attention we used to have goes away, and that drop gets felt way more sharply than the absence of attention we never had in the first place. So when you stop courting your team, it doesn't register as neutral, it registers as loss. And that's also why involving the team lands at 71%. Belonging isn't one relationship with the leader at the top, it's a web of relationships across the whole organization, and the more threads there are, the harder it is to walk away. [00:08:02] Your Small Win Tonight Take out a piece of paper and write down three things you do during recruiting that you don't do for your current team. Maybe it's the energy you bring to the call, maybe it's how clearly you cast the vision, maybe it's just how often you reach out. Pick one and do it for a current producer before you go to bed tonight. One text, one call, one conversation. [00:08:43] Three Bigger Moves This Week Write a team-level vision that names what each of your producers personally gets out of the next three years, and share the rough draft even if it isn't perfect yet. Put three questions at the top of your next team meeting and answer them out loud before anything else, where have we been, where are we now, and where are we going. Then build yourself a one-page retention playbook, the same way you'd build a recruiting playbook, just aimed inward. Key Takeaways Recruiting and retention aren't competing priorities. They're the same skill pointed in two directions. The bait and switch isn't about pay. It's about the experience of being pursued disappearing the moment your producer signs. Cast the vision out loud and recruiting stops feeling like a threat, it starts feeling like the plan your team is part of. Get seven people involved with a candidate and they're 71% likely to join, because belonging is built on a web of relationships, not a single thread to you at the top. Recruit up, never down. Growth is the rising tide that lifts your current producers, an average of 32% in my own numbers. People feel a loss of attention far more sharply than they ever felt its absence, so staying consistent is what keeps them. You can't recruit all the time and expect retention to handle itself, or manage all the time and expect growth to show up on its own. Protect both on the calendar. If you want help building a retention playbook that lets you recruit aggressively without losing the team you've got, reach out. Visit bookrichardnow.com and grab time on my calendar, and we'll think through it together. And if you'd rather build it live, I host a biweekly working lunch where we put this kind of thing together in real time. The next one's this Friday, June 5th at 12:00 PM Eastern, and you can RSVP here.

"A Market Shift Is Not an Income Shift"Hosted by Michael Fanning, SVP & Co-Owner, Windermere CoachingFAQ: What You'll Learn in This EpisodeQ: Is it normal for my income to drop when the market shifts?It's common but it's not inevitable. The market has always ebbed and flowed. What separates thriving agents from struggling ones isn't market conditions, it's whether they changed with the market or simply reacted to it. Your income reflects your activity and your relationships. The market is just the environment you're working in.Q: Does a shifting market mean business stops?No it means the type of business changes. A hot market rewards listing leverage and speed. A shifting market rewards negotiation skill and seller education. A slow market rewards relationship depth and database consistency. Great agents develop all three toolkits and know when to deploy each one.Q: What are the five attributes of agents who protect their income in any market?They protect their daily routine morning intention, market research, property views, handwritten notes, and relationship interactions. Your routine is your income insurance policy.They work their database with intention ABCD segmentation, a living warm list based on life events, and a consistent 36-interaction annual system using Homebot, Close, direct mail, and personal outreach.They remember their tactics and adapt their language seller pricing conversations, buyer consultation frameworks, creative financing options, and the magic questions: What's most important to you? What would make this work?They time block their week and win it on purpose structured days for prospecting, market research, path calls, and a weekly Sunday planning session. You can't win 45 of 52 weeks if you don't plan all 52.They stay relational and generous when others pull back checking in with no agenda, sending notes, sharing market updates, asking FORD questions, and staying visible when the market goes quiet.Q: What does "Complimentary, Not Free" mean here?Your time, expertise, and relationships all have real value. Showing up generously in a slow market isn't charity it's a long-term investment with a high return. The agents who go quiet lose the relationship. The agents who stay visible own the next market.Q: What's the one thing I should do this week?Pick one attribute from this episode. Protect your morning routine. Call five A's. Dust off your buyer consultation language. Write two notes a day. Do it this week, then do it again next week. That's how better happens one good decision repeated consistently.Q: How do I connect or share a topic idea?Reach out directly: fanning@windermere.comIf this episode resonated, please share it, leave a rating, and let us know what topics you'd like to go deeper on.Be awesome, help somebody, and make it a great day.

Business owners spend years building the company, but too many wait until after the sale to ask the most important question: what happens next? Selling your business can feel like winning the lottery. One day, you are running the company, creating income, making decisions, and driving growth. Then the sale happens, and suddenly you are sitting on a large amount of capital with a completely different set of problems. A big exit number does not automatically mean a great outcome. What matters is how much you keep, how it is invested, how it creates income, and whether the planning actually fits your life after the business.

Spencer Pratt joins Bill Maher on Club Random for a conversation that's equal parts mayoral campaign launch, Los Angeles postmortem, and classic Spencer Pratt reinvention tour. Spencer explains why losing his home in the Palisades fire pushed him to consider a run for mayor, lays out his ideas for homelessness, public safety, and city government, and makes the case that he might be exactly the unconventional leader Los Angeles needs—or at least the one willing to talk about it the most. Along the way, Spencer reflects on life after The Hills, receiving death threats, protecting his family, losing a thriving crystal business during the pandemic, and finding a new sense of purpose while somehow turning nearly every conversation into a campaign stop.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into one of golf's most misunderstood words: consistency. Adam and Jon unpack why consistency is not about making the exact same swing every time, but rather learning how to manage variability, improve impact patterns, and build bigger margins for error. They discuss why golfers often make themselves less consistent by trying to control too much, and how external focus, differential practice, smarter strategy, and better expectations can all help. If you've ever wondered why your good shots and bad shots can show up in random order, this episode will give you a much clearer framework for understanding what consistency really means in golf. Thank you to our show sponsors, For Wellness, Strike Wedge, Ethos, Rhoback, and LMNT Golfers who care about their game should care about taking care of their bodies too. The Good Stuff from For Wellness is a small scoop that can be added to coffee, smoothies, or protein shakes, with ingredients like collagen for joint support, L-theanine for focus, MCTs for energy, cinnamon for antioxidants, and Himalayan salt for minerals and electrolytes. For Wellness conducted an IRB-approved study showing up to an 85% reduction in joint stiffness in 60 days, and the brand has over 12,000 five-star reviews. Sweet Spot listeners can get the best price on a 90-day subscription and welcome kit at forwellness.com/sweetspot with promo code SWEETSPOT for an extra 10% off. • Most golfers don't need more swing thoughts — they need better feedback on impact. That's what I like about Strike Wedge: it's a simple, portable training aid that helps you work on the three things that matter most for better ball striking — low point control, path, and strike location. You can use towels, bottles, and other DIY setups for some of this, but Strike Wedge puts it all into one tool that fits in your golf bag and makes your practice more organized. If you're trying to improve your contact without overcomplicating your swing, this is a smart training aid to check out. Go to http://strikewedge.com/sweetspot to get 15% off • Rhoback makes some of the best golf apparel we've worn. Their polos are incredibly comfortable with moisture-wicking fabric, plenty of stretch, and a crisp collar that works on and off the course. They're got a couple of new releases for spring - the Highlands Hoodie—lightweight with great mobility for golf—and the Brookline Vest, a perfect layering piece for cooler tee times. Get 20% off your first order https://rhoback.com/ using promo code SWEET. • As the weather gets warmer, staying properly hydrated on the golf course becomes even more important. LMNT's new Lemonade Iced Tea flavor combines electrolytes, magnesium, and potassium with no sugar or questionable sports drink ingredients, plus caffeine from black tea extract for a steadier energy boost. Because the caffeine comes from tea, it's naturally paired with L-theanine and polyphenols, which can feel smoother than the spike-and-crash effect of many energy drinks. For golfers looking for hydration and a little back-nine energy, this is a great option to try. With any purchase you're going to get a free sample pack.

Ocean sunfish are one of the strangest fish on Earth. They can look like a giant floating dinner plate, drift sideways at the surface, and appear almost lifeless, but their strange behaviour is part of an incredible survival strategy. In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean, Andrew Lewin explores why the mola mola, also known as the ocean sunfish, spends time in cold Canadian waters. These waters may not look tropical or crystal clear, but they are packed with plankton, jellyfish, nutrients, and life. That productivity attracts whales, turtles, seabirds, sharks, and even one of the heaviest bony fish on the planet. This episode is a reminder that cold water oceans are not boring. They are full of surprises, strange animals, and signs of healthy food webs hiding in plain sight.

Our guest today is Heather Rooks. Heather is a mom, former school board president, and 2026 candidate for Arizona's LD28 House of Representatives, advocating for parental rights, academic excellence, fiscal responsibility, and strong community leadership. You are well known for standing up to power, and doing what is right, even when it comes at great personal and professional cost. You have been serving as the President of the Peoria Unified School District Governing Board up until very recently, when just such crossroads had to be traversed. Tell us, very briefly what happened in your District? You've said your journey into public service began simply as a mom standing up for your child during the masking debates and helping other families find their voice. How did that experience shape who you are today as both a person and a candidate? Critics sometimes claim that parents who became active during COVID were motivated by politics. How do you respond to those who misunderstand your advocacy journey and the heart behind your involvement? You earned the nickname “The Peoria Mom” because of your willingness to show up, ask questions, and advocate for families. What did those early school board meetings teach you about leadership and community engagement? As you campaign for the Arizona House in LD28, what are the top priorities you want to focus on to help strengthen your community and the state as a whole? (Parental Rights and Education, Safety in Our Community, Protect the Border, Defend the 2nd Amendment, Responsible Government, Election Integrity, Special Needs Community, & Affordability) What makes you uniquely qualified to be the AZ State Representative in LD28? How do people follow you and support your campaign? Originally Aired 6.1.26
This week, we are diving deep into the wild, multifaceted career of an absolute icon from the Golden Era of adult cinema: Dyanna Lauren. Long before she was an AVN Hall of Famer and a household name with Vivid Entertainment, Dyanna actually started out as a singer. In this episode, we chart her incredible trajectory—from pulling off an early-career hustle of appearing on movie box covers before she even agreed to film a single scene, to her award-winning, powerhouse performance in Bad Wives. But Dyanna didn't stop in front of the camera; she broke barriers as an industry director, became a CEO, and never truly lost her musical roots (including a memorable collaboration with Marilyn Manson on Mechanical Animals). Join us as we look back at the career of a true industry trailblazer who always called the shots on her own terms. *BRANDITSCAN** **Protect Your Digital Presence** One of the best defenses against social media fraud, impersonation, and stolen content.

Stage 21 of the Giro d'Italia 2026, and the race rolls into Rome with Jonas Vingegaard already the story of the three weeks, but the peloton wasn't done yet. Vingegaard obliterated the general classification. The first rider of his era to win all three Grand Tours. A victory lap, but cycling doesn't really do those quietlym and Rome made sure of it. Jonathan Milan had been waiting for this moment. Stage after stage, the sprint finishes slipping away. Today, finally, he got his. A thrilling race at the front, and Milan took it. This Giro produced characters that will stay with you. Eulalio, winning hearts from start to finish in that white jersey. Ciccone, racing with everything he had, every single day, heart firmly on sleeve. Magnier, young, fearless, dominating the sprint stages before Milan had his say. Ned Boulting and Jacopo Guarnieri are here to close out the Giro d'Italia 2026 from the finish line This episode of For The Love Of Cycling is sponsored by Bikmo cycle insurance.

In the United States today, you can have your bank account closed, your credit cards cancelled, and your online payments revoked for any number of crimes, like funding terrorism, engaging in money laundering, or violating sanctions.Sensible, right? Well, you can also face financial ruin for teaching poetry.That's what seemingly happened to a Persian poetry teacher from Detroit whose accounts were flagged for “sanctions violations” because his students wrote “Persian classes” in their Venmo memos. There's also the story about the naked yoga practitioners who lost their payment processor for 60 days, forced to rebuild a subscriber list from scratch. And we can't forget the San Diego cannabis journalist cut off from Stripe—and from a paid Substack newsletter—because of the payment platform's rules that prohibit the promotion of the sale of cannabis.This is “financial censorship,” and it often happens when a bank, credit card provider, or payment app decides that a customer is too risky to serve. But “risky” doesn't always mean “illegal,” and when a major financial institution errs towards caution about what a customer is saying, advocating for, representing, or publishing, a lot of innocent people can be hurt in the process.That's what the digital rights activist Rainey Reitman learned in writing “Transaction Denied: Big Finance's Power to Punish Speech.” As Reitman explained about these hugely impactful decisions:“Even if they are well-intentioned, the financial systems can end up pulling in a lot of people that are not the actual target… Sometimes we talk about this as dolphins in the fishing lines.”These decisions are difficult to fight, frustratingly opaque, and nearly impossible to reverse. Compounding the problem is that that there aren't enough alternatives available for the financially censored to easily regain their freedom.The reality for hundreds of millions of people in this country is that about a dozen companies control all their finances. People mostly bank with Chase, or Bank of America, or Citigroup, or Wells Fargo. They mostly use credit cards assigned by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Capital One. And they mostly send money to one another and to small businesses using services like PayPal, Venmo, Cash app, and Square.For most people, these companies are supposed to operate in the background of their lives, providing reliable, secure financing to sustain and manage their livelihoods.In reality, these companies can become quite interested in what you say online, what payments you receive each month, and the locations those payments arrived from.Today, on the Lock and Code podcast with host David Ruiz, we speak with Reitman—who is also the president and a co-founder of the Freedom of the Press Foundation—about the real stories of those who have been financially censored, why financial companies cut off customers for legal speech, and how a single company's decision can create cascading consequences that feel impossible to fight.“They'd be locked out of Venmo, then they'd be locked out of PayPal—which is connected to Venmo—and then they'd suddenly lose their Chase Bank account. You could see that in a lot of instances, losing one form of access to the financial system, it could result in a pattern where they would be losing access repeatedly.”Tune in today.You can also find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and whatever preferred podcast platform you use.For all our cybersecurity coverage, visit Malwarebytes Labs at malwarebytes.com/blog.Show notes and credits:Intro Music: “Spellbound” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Outro Music: “Good God” by Wowa (unminus.com)Listen up—Malwarebytes doesn't just talk cybersecurity, we provide it.Protect yourself from online attacks that threaten your identity, your files, your system, and your financial well-being with our exclusive offer for Malwarebytes Premium for Lock and Code listeners.
