In this jaw-dropping episode , we sit down with George Day — one of the most prolific yet largely unknown drug kingpins in American history. Raised in Washington, DC, George was literally born into the drug trade. By age six, he was traveling across the border with his father, helping smuggle hundreds of pounds of marijuana hidden inside a Winnebago. As he grew older, his life spiraled deeper into the underworld — from trimming weed in Mexico to handling massive cash pickups and negotiating with Colombian suppliers before he was even a teenager. After his father's sudden death, George found himself — at just 11 years old — sitting on a multimillion-dollar drug ledger, forced to navigate dangerous debts, cartel relationships, and violent street politics. What followed was the rise of a cocaine empire that eventually stretched across all 50 states… and ultimately led to a life sentence plus 90 years in federal prison. This is Part 1 of an unbelievable story about family, survival, crime, and the realities of growing up inside America's drug economy.

What if the loneliness you feel is actually proof that you are growing?In this episode, Kevin and Alan unpack a reality most people are not prepared for. As your goals get bigger and your standards rise, fewer people will understand your choices. Drawing from years of business building, client coaching, and their own personal growth journeys, they explain why ambition often creates separation and what it really takes to protect your vision when others question your path.If you have ever felt misunderstood, pressured to slow down, or tempted to shrink your goals to make others comfortable, this conversation will challenge how you see the cost of leveling up. Do not trade long-term alignment for short-term approval._______________________Learn more about:Track the Work. Earn the Results.

 In this episode, I share what has helped sustain my long-term relationship over the past four decades.  I was asked to share my secrets with a large group of physicians.  I preparing for that realized that I have no secrets. I have an approach. Since I started approaching my relationship with intention, it has gotten better than ever. Resentment grows from silent expectations. Shifting from expectation to intention makes more room for connection. What would love do now? guides me as a practical filter for tone, attention, listening, and repair. It's especially useful given our mismatched neurotypes and when our nervous systems are depleted. In this episode, I share The cost of silent expectations and resentment The value of replacing expectations with clear intentions "What would love do now?" as a moment-to-moment practice How nervous system depletion turns neutral moments into conflict Why friendship and fun matter Pearls of Wisdom Clear intentions open doors. Resentment keeps them shut. Love becomes steadier when we treat it as a verb Long-term relationships are built through practice. Protecting your health, and your partner's health protects the relationship Friendship sustains intimacy Reflection questions: What silent expectations are you holding? What intention do you want to bring to your relationship: connection, kindness, honesty, peace, love? When you are depleted, what could help you respond instead of react? How could you treat your partner more like a friend this week—lighter, more generous, more on the same team?

Step into Episode 200 of ‘On The Delo' as Delo celebrates a major milestone by sitting down with fellow "Delo" Dave Delos, a 30-year bar industry veteran, owner of six neighborhood dive bars, and president of the Arizona Licensed Beverage Association (ALBA). From growing up in Poughkeepsie, New York, and building homes with his hands to buying his first bar from his father-in-law Tony Marino in 1996, Dave shares the full arc of how hard work, family, and a willingness to "figure it out" built a six-location dive bar empire across the West Valley.​The conversation goes deep on what it really means to run a family business in hospitality, how Dave and his wife Lori built their operation together (she's known as "the executioner" for a reason), and how their son and daughter have now stepped into daily operations and HR to carry the legacy forward. Dave also opens up about life at 60, losing his father last year, taking his 86-year-old mom wine tasting, and why golf, travel, cooking, and wine at night keep him grounded. You'll hear one of the wildest bar stories ever told involving a live World War II hand grenade thrown into one of his bars, plus Dave's journey from ALBA board member to seven-year president, why a $200,000 Series 6 license needs protecting, and where he stands on mandatory Title 4 training and personal responsibility. Stay for rapid fire on Sunday day drinkers, Michelob Ultra, napkin deals, White Castle, and why dive bars are the fabric of America.​Chapter Guide (Timestamps):(0:00 - 2:53) Episode 200 Celebration, "On The Delos," and Why Delo Matters to the Industry(2:54 - 6:38) Growing Up in New York, the Mazda B2000 Road Trip, and Meeting His Wife at Gentleman's Choice(6:39 - 9:54) Moving to Arizona, Buying a Bar from Tony Marino, and Building Six Locations with His Hands(9:54 - 12:38) His Wife "The Executioner," Partnership, and What a Good Woman Does for Your Life and Business(12:39 - 15:18) Passing the Business to His Kids, College First, and Letting Go After 30 Years of Decisions(15:18 - 17:55) Life at 60: Golf, Travel, Wine at Night, and Taking His 86-Year-Old Mom Wine Tasting(17:56 - 20:52) The Live Hand Grenade Story: The Wildest Thing That's Ever Happened in One of His Bars(20:52 - 25:06) Getting Into ALBA, Industry Titans, Bill Weigel, and Why It's "My Time, My Turn"(25:06 - 29:02) What ALBA Does: Lobbying, Licensing, Protecting the $200K Series 6, and Don Isaacson at the Capitol(29:02 - 33:19) Title 4 Training, Mandatory vs. Voluntary, Personal Responsibility, and Masking Intoxication(33:19 - 35:42) ALBA Membership Benefits, $300/Year, Insurance Discounts, and a Welcome to New Members(35:42 - 42:03) Rapid Fire: Sunday Drinkers, Dive Bars, Michelob Ultra, Napkin Deals, White Castle, and Delo's Close

Episode 5159: Protecting American Industries And The Fight For Tariffs

Is your steak a byproduct of a corrupt financial ledger? Texas Slim (@modernTman) explains how food centralization serves as currency debasement. We discuss the 1971 "Big Fat Lie" and how ending the gold standard led to declining nutritional integrity via subsidized grains. Slim argues the health of our children is proof of work, noting the current legacy system is failing.Modern cattle ranching is a struggle against corporate cartels. For years, the industry has prioritized inflationary weight gain over biological vitality. Slim describes the transition from forage-based systems to scientific manipulation. This centralization has hurt independent ranchers through regulatory capture and debt traps.El Salvador is now a hub for regenerative agriculture and food security. Slim is moving away from Angus beef marketing myths to launch heritage breed programs designed for local microbiomes. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach with Brahman cattle, he is building a sovereign food system. He believes fixing the money is the first step toward fixing the food.Vertical integration allows producers to remove parasitic middlemen. The Beef Initiative develops decentralized micro-processing to return power to ranchers. By owning the value chain from the water table to the fork, producers can move away from the industrial machine.The acquisition of beef.com represents a change. It acts as the digital backbone for a global movement connecting producers and consumers via a Bitcoin standard. This infrastructure ensures the narrative remains with land stewards. The goal is to build a future based on hard assets.—Bitcoin Beach TeamConnect and Learn more about Texas SlimX: Main: https://x.com/modernTmanX: Movement: https://x.com/@beefinitiativeX: Media: https://x.com/@TexasSlimsCutsIG: https://www.instagram.com/iamtexasslim/IG: https://www.instagram.com/texasslimscuts/YT: https://www.youtube.com/@iamtexasslimWeb: https://harvestofdeception.substack.com/Web: https://beef.comWeb: https://beefinitiative.com/Web: https://beefnews.org/Web: https://beefmaps.com/       Support and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: https://www.twitter.com/BitcoinBeach IG: https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinbeach_sv TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@livefrombitcoinbeach Web: https://www.bitcoinbeach.com Browse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:00:00 Intro05:42 Why the 1971 money shift ruined our food11:08 How to exit the corporate meat monopoly18:16 Why El Salvador is the hub for food security22:49 How to build a sovereign cattle program24:13 How decentralized processing kills the food cartel31:59 Fixing food economics: Price per acre vs. pound37:05 Mining volcanic soil for high-density protein51:00 How Beef.com disrupts global middlemen1:06:01 Protecting your wealth with hard assetsLive From Bitcoin Beach

Day 6 of Loving-Kindness Meditation: A Daily Heart-Opening Series follows the arc of Balance—so you can stay open without overgiving and protect your peace without shutting down. In this episode, you'll practice a layered Heart Stack that combines the week's techniques into one repeatable meditation: Heart Coherent Breath (5–5 for 10 rounds), Lotus Mudra, hand-to-heart Heart Chakra focus, a loving-kindness visualization, and a guiding affirmation. Leave feeling steadier, calmer, and more emotionally centered—ready to carry loving-kindness into real life. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to Loving-Kindness Meditation: A Daily Heart-Opening Series—a 7-day journey into the ancient practice of cultivating a steady, compassionate heart. This isn't "be positive" meditation, and it isn't personality-based inspiration. It's a classical inner training—rooted in timeless yogic reflections on maitrī (friendliness), compassion, joy, and equanimity—so your mind becomes clearer, your nervous system steadier, and your relationships more spacious. Across this week, you'll build a simple, repeatable heart practice using one focused technique each day: a loving-kindness visualization, a single phrase of kindness, calming breathwork, a heart-opening mudra, a heart-center (4th chakra) nurture practice, a layered "heart stack" you can use anytime, and a gentle weekly review to embody what you've learned. Come as you are—guarded, tender, hopeful, tired, or open. Loving-kindness doesn't require a perfect mood. It only asks for a sincere return. In just a few minutes each day, you'll practice opening the heart with steadiness—so compassion becomes less of an idea and more of a lived inner home. This is day 5 of a 7-day meditation series, "Loving-Kindness Meditation: A Daily Heart-Opening Series"  episodes 3465-3471. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "META-MICRO MISSION" Each day, send one tiny ripple of kindness: silently offer a loving-kindness phrase to yourself, a neutral person, and a difficult moment (not necessarily a difficult person). Keep it light—3 breaths each— and track your streak with a simple checkmark. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Day 1:  Compassion Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "My heart is open and safe." Day 3:  Heart Coherent Breath: Inhale for 5, Exhale for 5, Repeat for 10 rounds. (Option: inhale "soften, exhale "kindness.") Day 4:  Lotus mudra for opening your heart Day 5:  Fourth chakra for love and gratitude Day 6:  Loving-Kindness Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

This episode was sparked by one of Chris and Melissa's classic "walk conversations" — the kind where something clicks, and you realize it needs to be shared…  They begin with a powerful testimonial from a Family Brand family who realized they were spending more time talking about what they don't like in the world — politics, division, noise — than they were talking about their own values. And that insight led to a bigger question: Where are we allowing our attention to go? Because wherever your attention goes, your energy follows. Chris shares how easy it is to get pulled into news cycles, controversial figures, political opinions, and cultural outrage — sometimes without even realizing it. And while many of those conversations feel urgent, he began asking himself a better question: What is this attention taking me away from? When he thinks about his wife, his five kids, his team, the players he coaches, and the people in his real, immediate life — he realizes that his influence is strongest right there. And every ounce of attention spent elsewhere is attention not available for those relationships. Melissa adds another layer: Sometimes it feels like we're being pressured — even bullied — into having opinions about everything. Social media makes it easy to take a stance instantly. But do we actually have to?  You don't owe the world an opinion on every issue. You don't have to be dragged into every debate. And you definitely don't have to sacrifice your peace or your family's focus in the process.  They also clarify: This isn't about sticking your head in the sand. It's not about ignoring real issues or not standing for something meaningful. It's about being intentional. If you care about a cause, choose it on purpose. If you want to serve your community, do it intentionally. If you want to shape the world, start by loving your family well. Because the most meaningful influence often begins at home.  This episode is ultimately an invitation to do a personal audit: Where am I giving my attention? Is that aligned with who I want to be? Is the energy tradeoff worth it? What deserves more of my focus? When you protect your attention, you protect your energy. And when you protect your energy, you protect your family.   LINKS: All Links Family Brand!  stan.store/familybrand familybrand.com/quiz familybrand.com/retreats.    Episode Minute By Minute: 00:00 – The walk that inspired today's episode 01:00 – The Nickerson family quote and cultural noise 02:30 – Where attention goes, energy flows 04:00 – The hidden cost of divided attention 05:30 – Do I actually care about this issue? 06:30 – Chris's example: where his energy truly belongs 08:30 – "If you want to change the world, go home and love your family." 09:30 – Being intentional about the causes you support 10:30 – Feeling pressured to take a stance 12:00 – You don't owe anyone an opinion 13:30 – Choosing principles over politics 15:00 – Protecting your attention 16:00 – Practical audit: where is my attention going? 17:00 – Final takeaway and weekly challenge

In this episode, Dr. Steve Judson and Dr. Drew Henderson get real about what it actually costs to grow — and why the universe has a way of testing you the moment you do. When you decide to level up, resistance shows up. A difficult patient. A tempting distraction. A voice telling you to dilute your vision for the sake of profit. Growth isn't just about expansion — it's about protection. Protecting your space, your principles, and the sacred work you've committed to doing. Principled chiropractic care isn't a business strategy. It's a calling. And the chiropractors who stay true to that calling — who refuse to compromise their core for convenience — are the ones who build something that lasts. Twenty-year patient relationships. Real healing. Real change. It's time to Wake Up Humans — to guard what you've built, stay anchored in your values, and remember that the thing that makes you different is the very thing you should never give away.

In this episode, I sit down with Josh Wageman, PhD, DPT, MPAS, CLS, CSCS — Clinical Lipid Specialist, PA who formerly practiced in Endocrinology, and Medical Science Liaison — to explore the intersection of protecting your healthspan while building wealth and expanding career flexibility as a physician associate. Josh's PhD research focused on cholesterol disturbances in Alzheimer's disease, and he's widely known for his ability to teach complex lipid physiology in a relatable, practical way. We break down cholesterol and cardiovascular risk without the overwhelm, discussing which labs and screening strategies are truly worth the cost and effort — and when age or family history should factor into the decision. He also shares what inspired him to write The Home Security System and the Lipid Neighborhood, how writing can serve as both education and diversified income while having a meaningful impact, and why clinicians don't have to feel boxed into a single career path. From becoming a Medical Science Liaison (MSL) to building credibility beyond the clinic, this episode highlights how health, impact, and optionality can work together. If you've ever wondered how to better understand cholesterol, prevent heart attacks, strokes, and dementia, or expand your career beyond traditional clinical roles, this conversation is for you.

Those are all the three levels that allow our mind and body to have the energy to actually process.” “When we've had this past trauma, our brain likes to put things into those kinds of boxes. so being able to step back and learn over time that while it's important to speak up, it's also important to choose who I share those things with because it's not meant for everybody.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order my latest book: The Perimenopause Revolution ⁠Dr. Aimie's book: The Biology of Trauma https://a.co/d/09grbJrF⁠ Dr. Aimie's Socials:  ⁠Dr. Aimie's Website ⁠ Instagram Facebook LinkedIn  YouTube RELATED EPISODES  681: The Biology of Trauma: How Stress Gets Stored in Your Body (and Passed On to Your Kids) and How You Can Start To Heal with Dr. Aimie Apigian 720: Why No One Talks About Loneliness in Midlife—And Why It's Not Just You 717: “I Don't Feel Like Myself Anymore”: The Mental & Emotional Reality of Perimenopause 702: How to Heal Trauma and Rebuild Trust Through Connectability with Anna Runkle

The Respectable Addiction: When Work Becomes the Coping Mechanism A reflection on burnout, identity, and recovery — plus practical action steps There's an addiction we rarely talk about because it looks like ambition. It earns praise. Promotions. Respect. It hides behind phrases like "driven," "productive," and "hard-working." But for many high achievers, work isn't just effort — it's a coping mechanism. In this episode, Dawn shares her story of a "workaholic blackout" — the moment she realized work had become her drug. After years of recovery from substances, she found herself caught in a new cycle: overwork, anxiety, identity tied to productivity, and eventual burnout. At one point, she drove home from work and had no memory of the drive. That was the moment everything shifted. What followed was a diagnosis of extreme burnout and a realization that she wasn't just "busy" — she was addicted to working.     When Work Stops Being Healthy One of the most powerful distinctions Dawn shared is this: Working hard doesn't make someone a workaholic. External pressure doesn't equal addiction. Workaholism comes from the inside. It's marked by: An internal compulsion to keep working Self-worth tied to productivity Constant thoughts about work Anxiety or guilt when not working Difficulty detaching — even during rest You can meet deadlines, put in long hours, and still be healthy. But when work becomes how you manage fear, grief, identity, or anxiety — it shifts from effort to escape.     Burnout Isn't Just Exhaustion Burnout isn't just being tired. It's a full-system collapse: Physical Emotional Mental Spiritual For many high performers, burnout mirrors an addiction "bottom." You keep pushing… until your system can't. And then something breaks. Relationships suffer. Health declines. Meaning fades. And the work that once energized you begins to feel like pressure, obligation, or proof of worth.     The Cultural Trap Our culture celebrates overworking. We glorify: Hustle Sacrifice Endless productivity "Grinding" for success But we rarely talk about the cost: Anxiety Family strain Loss of identity outside work Chronic stress Emotional detachment Workaholism is often called "the respectable addiction" because it looks admirable from the outside. Until it doesn't.     Recovery Isn't About Quitting Work Unlike substances, you can't abstain from work. Recovery is about boundaries, awareness, and redefining your relationship to productivity. Dawn shared practices that helped her rebuild balance: Under-scheduling instead of over-planning Creating "top lines" (healthy behaviors to commit to) Creating "bottom lines" (behaviors to avoid) Protecting time for joy, relationships, and rest Spiritual grounding and daily reflection Detaching self-worth from output It's less about doing less — and more about working from a different place. Not fear. Not "not enough." Not urgency. But intention.     Action Steps: Rebuilding a Healthy Relationship With Work If this episode resonated, here are simple starting points. 1) Notice the fuel behind your productivity Ask yourself: Am I working from joy… or fear? Is this aligned… or avoidance? Am I creating… or proving? 2) Separate urgency from importance Not everything urgent is important. And not everything important feels urgent. Pause before reacting. 3) Identify your "bottom lines" Examples: No work after a certain hour No phone during family time No checking email first thing in the morning 4) Define your "top lines" Healthy commitments like: Movement Hydration Connection Rest Creative time 5) Schedule spaciousness Recovery often begins with: Fewer commitments Fewer calls Fewer goals at once Space allows clarity. 6) Detach identity from productivity Practice this reframe: "I am enough — with or without what I produce today." 7) Watch for the "self-care productivity trap" Even healing can become another project. Self-care isn't something to optimize. It's something to experience.     Reflection Prompts Where is my self-worth tied to achievement? What am I avoiding by staying busy? When do I feel most at peace — and why? What would "enough" look like today?     Resources Mentioned Workaholics Anonymous literature and tools Journaling and recovery reflection practices Byron Katie's "The Work" inquiry process Anxiety and habit research (Dr. Judson Brewer) Recovery communities and peer support spaces (Referenced from episode transcript)     Final Thought You don't have to burn out to change your relationship with work. You don't have to earn rest. You don't have to prove your worth. You don't have to run on fear. There is another way to work — one rooted in clarity, presence, and enoughness. And it starts with one honest question: What's really driving me right now? Guest Contact Info:

Yes, headlines say U.S. life expectancy has rebounded. But here's what they don't tell you. The United States ranks 32 out of 38 developed nations in life expectancy according to OECD data.Thirty-second. Out of thirty-eight. That places America near the bottom of the developed world behind Turkey, Estonia, the Czech Republic, and the Slovak Republic. Only six developed nations rank lower.At the same time:• In 2024, the 10 largest pharmaceutical companies reported more than $100 billion in profits**• The industry spent over $5 billion on television advertising• Prescription drug commercials account for a significant share of evening news ads• The U.S. healthcare system remains structured around treatment, not prevention• Ultra-processed foods dominate the American dietThe United States spends more per capita on healthcare than any other developed nation.Yet we rank near the bottom in longevity. Americans deserve the complete story — not just the comfortable headline.

Protecting the Voiceless: Bill Waybourn on Human Trafficking and Hidden AbuseThis week, Marcus and Melanie sit down with one of Texas' most respected law enforcement leaders and advocates for the vulnerable — Sheriff Bill Waybourn.With more than three decades of service, Bill's career has been defined by courage, conviction, and a relentless commitment to protecting both communities and the voiceless.From pioneering groundbreaking DWI reform programs to shaping Texas firearm legislation, Bill has stood at the intersection of public safety, constitutional rights, and moral responsibility.But beyond the badge, Bill's story is also one of deep compassion — especially when it comes to children in need.Bill served 31 years as Chief of Police in Dalworthington Gardens, where he became a recognized expert witness and leader in statewide criminal justice reform.He is credited with pioneering the Texas “No Refusal” DWI program, a model that has significantly reduced drunk driving fatalities and has since been adopted by multiple states.Bill has also testified before the Texas Legislature on a myriad of key issues.Bill is especially honored to have helped pass the Chris Kyle Bill, which streamlines the process for military servicemen and women transitioning into law enforcement careers.His dedication to veterans and service members reflects a lifelong commitment to those who have sacrificed for this country.During his first term as Sheriff, Bill launched several nationally recognized initiatives, including a Human Trafficking Unit, a Department of Intelligence, aggressive inmate service programs, less-than-lethal training expansion, and cutting-edge departmental reforms.Bill and his wife Laura Waybourn are the proud parents of ten children, eight of whom have been adopted.Together, they are passionate advocates for children without families, and their lives are rooted in service far beyond law enforcement.A Heartbreaking Story of Survival: AlyssaOne of the most emotional moments in this episode comes as Bill shares the story of his foster daughter Alyssa, who endured horrific medical abuse as a toddler.He recounts how Alyssa was severely malnourished, weighing only 18 pounds, dehydrated, and tragically harmed by her biological mother through Munchausen syndrome by proxy — a form of abuse where caregivers fabricate illness for attention or control.Under proper medical care, Alyssa began to flourish — but her story shines a light on a rarely discussed form of child abuse that demands awareness and action.This conversation is equal parts intense, inspiring, and deeply human — a reminder that real leadership means protecting those who cannot protect themselves.In this episode you will hear:• My dad believed in practical lessons. After bragging that I was the best cowboy on the ground today, and my dad put me on a Bramer steer. I lasted about a second and a half on that ride. He went from there teaching about humility, and how it's a biblical principle, and I needed to learn about that. (9:10)• One of the things that the Air Force did well is that they taught you leadership, independence, and discipline all at the same time. (15:56)• I was 24 years old, and the Police Chief resigned. The city council interviewed a bunch of people and about an hour and a half later, they called me back and said, “You're the Chief.” (20:34)• [Marcus] Q: Explain to me the difference between a constable, a police officer, and a sheriff. (A: Starts at 22:40 and runs thru 28:14)• There've been some great moments throughout my career. My [most memorable events] were surrounded by life-saving stuff. (30:57)• As Sheriff, I was blessed to make a human trafficking unit. We are now moving close to 1,200 rescues. (31:42)• Our daughter, Alyssa, at 3 ½ years old, weighed 18 pounds, and was on 17 meds and a feeding tube. She went septic. It was later proved that her biological mother put human feces and urine into her feeding tube. (34:34)• We were honored that God called us to take her in. (40:36)• I met Chris Kyle right after he came home in '09.

Jason Hartman and Michael Zuber reflect on the success of a recent investment conference and the enduring value of in-person networking. Hartman emphasizes that successful investing requires emotional discipline, noting that many people lose wealth by selling assets at the wrong time due to personal crises or market fear. He uses an iceberg metaphor to explain that while many focus only on cash flow, the most significant financial benefits of real estate often remain hidden "below the water line" in the form of tax advantages and inflation-induced debt destruction. The pair also critiques "crash bros" who incorrectly predicted a housing market collapse, arguing instead that a persistent housing shortage continues to support property values. To conclude, Hartman invites listeners to his upcoming Empowered Investor Live event in California, which will feature prominent financial speakers and data-driven insights. This dialogue reinforces their shared philosophy that income property remains the most historically proven and tax-favored asset class available to investors. #RealEstateInvesting #IncomeProperty #OneRentalAtATime #EmpoweredInvestorLive #JasonHartman #MichaelZuber #FinancialFreedom #TaxBenefits #1031Exchange #HousingMarket #InflationInducedDebtDestruction #WealthBuilding #InvestmentPsychology #PassiveIncome #RealEstateCycles #ChartDaddy #HousingShortage #LongTermInvesting #CashFlow #RealEstateEvents   Key Takeaways: 0:00 Jason's "Trophy" from Michael Zuber's ORAAT event  3:49 The Behavior Gap 7:54 The ICEBERG and the "Dead" investor 11:33 Join us at the https://EmpoweredInvestorLive.com/ conference 15:09 The overall theme   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

What if your most important responsibility is not your to-do list, your clients, or even your goals, but yourself? In this episode, I'm sharing a concept that has reshaped how I approach my work and my life over the past few years. It is simple, though not always comfortable. It is about protecting the asset and recognising that the asset is you.       This episode invites you to look at where you are overextending yourself and where you are not protecting the asset. You will be encouraged to identify a few practical ways to protect the asset and to notice the thoughts and feelings that surface when you consider implementing them. If you want to create work and a life that are sustainable, aligned and rooted in self-acceptance, this conversation will give you a powerful place to begin.       Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://maisiehill.com/267       Join us in the Powerful membership: https://maisiehill.com/powerful

Discuss Pediatric Weight Gain Without Triggering ShameWhat would you say if a parent asked, “Can you tell my son he needs to lose weight?”That question sits at the center of one of the hardest conversations in pediatrics.In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Amy Beck, clinical psychologist and expert in teen mental health and weight stigma, to unpack how we address pediatric obesity without causing unintended harm.Because this isn't just about weight. It's about protecting kids in a culture obsessed with body size, while still doing our job as clinicians.In this episode, we discuss:Common clinician missteps that unintentionally trigger shameWhy focusing on numbers (weight, BMI, carbs) can backfireHow to talk to a 5-year-old vs. a teenagerWhat to say when teens give one-word answersHow to navigate wo very different clinical scenarios:A teen in a larger body with normal labs but poor body imageRapid weight gain with elevated sugars, where intervention feels urgentWorking with teens is tough. Getting them to engage can feel even tougher.Dr. Beck shares practical language, strategies, and mindset shifts to help you intervene medically without triggering restriction, shutdown, or long-term harm.This episode is about striking the balance: preventing long-term medical complications while protecting a child's mental health in the process.Connect with Dr BeckHealth Psychology Partners Any Questions?

Send a textIf you've ever walked along a shoreline, spotted trash, and thought, “How did this get here, and what can I do about it?” -- this conversation is for you. Ashley Sullivan, Executive Director of the Rozalia Project for a Clean Ocean, joins me to unpack the very real problem of marine debris and microplastics, and to remind us that curiosity, community, and “lots of littles” can add up to big change.​We explore how getting kids and adults outside for hands-on cleanups builds empathy and sparks those powerful “aha” moments that lead to action.

In this episode, I sit down with #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson for a candid conversation about building a decades-long writing career. Lisa shares how she got her start in 1980 after a Time magazine article sparked the idea to write romance with her sister, Nancy Bush—back when manuscripts began on a manual typewriter.

For years, autistic play has been misunderstood, redirected, or even discouraged. But what if the very things we've been trying to "fix" are actually authentic expressions of joy, regulation, and connection? In this replay of my powerful conversation with nationally recognized pediatric SLP, speaker, and neurodiversity-affirming advocate Cari Ebert, we explore why autistic play is real play — and why honoring it changes everything. Together, we unpack deep interests, regulation-first teaching, expanding play without pressure, and what it truly means to presume competence. This episode will gently challenge old assumptions and give you practical, relationship-based strategies you can use right away. In This Episode, You'll Learn Why autistic children play differently — and why different doesn't mean wrong The difference between wide interests and deep interests How honoring deep interests builds meaningful connection and communication What "regulate, reach, teach" looks like in real classrooms and therapy sessions Why compliance-based approaches often lead to dysregulation How to expand play schemes without pressure or power struggles What it truly means to presume competence Why autistic joy deserves to be protected and celebrated Key Takeaways Autistic play is authentic play Different does not mean deficient Connection builds communication Regulation must come before instruction Behavior is communication, especially during dysregulation Deep interests are powerful pathways to learning Presuming competence can unlock incredible potential Honor autistic joy Try This Choose one child this week and intentionally shift your lens. Observe their deep interest without interrupting or redirecting Join their play through parallel play — without an agenda Model one small expansion (no pressure, no hand-over-hand) Adjust one environmental factor to support regulation Reframe one "behavior" by asking: What is the why behind this? Small shifts in perspective can create big shifts in connection.

We see regulation increase. We see connection deepen. We see communication grow. And most importantly — we protect autistic joy. Autistic children become autistic adults. The way we respond to their play today shapes how they experience themselves tomorrow. Let's honor their joy.

Recent scandals in parts of the modern prophetic movement have exposed troubling patterns of spiritual abuse, cover-ups, and unchecked authority.In this episode, we connect the dots between today's prophetic controversies and similar patterns from church history—particularly early Mormonism. This isn't about attacking charismatic Christians. It's about recognizing red flags that can emerge whenever leaders claim special revelation and avoid accountability.The goal? Spiritual discernment. Protecting your faith. Keeping your eyes on Jesus.What We Cover in This Episode1. What Is the Modern “Prophetic Movement”?In some charismatic and Pentecostal circles, certain leaders claim to receive fresh, specific revelations from God. With social media and online platforms, these voices now have massive reach and influence.Recent investigations have exposed:Data mining disguised as prophecyManipulation through spiritual languageAllegations of moral failure and abuseInstitutional efforts to protect reputations over victimsThese patterns aren't new.2. The Historical Parallel: Early MormonismIn the 1800s, Joseph Smith claimed prophetic authority and new revelation. Over time, a culture developed that:Shielded leadership from accountabilitySuppressed inconvenient truthsProtected institutional reputationMinimized or denied moral failuresThe release of the Gospel Topics Essays in 2013 revealed how long some historical realities had been obscured.The lesson? Cover-up culture thrives wherever leaders claim unquestionable authority.The Core Issue: Authority and “New Revelation”The connective tissue between past and present movements is this idea:When someone claims direct revelation from God that overrides Scripture or bypasses accountability, danger follows.Scripture never elevates...

Do you feel like you've tried therapy, self-help, maybe even medication, but you're still stuck thinking… why am I not better yet?I'm joined by Dr. Will Dobud, a social worker, researcher and educator who has worked with adolescents and families across the United States, Australia, and Norway, to explore why the mental health system can leave good people feeling broken, even when they're doing all the “right” things.We talk about the uncomfortable truth that mental health outcomes haven't improved in decades, how passive interventions and labels can replace real change, and why “awareness” without personal ownership can actually keep you trapped. We also get into why medication can't be the finish line, what it means to stop outsourcing your healing, and the mindset shift that helps you move from self-blame to self-trust.This episode will help you change your life by changing your relationship with mental health, so you can take ownership of it and move forward today.Dr. Will Dobud is a social worker, researcher, and educator who has worked with adolescents and families in the United States, Australia, and Norway.Timestamps: (00:00) Introduction(00:57) Quick Fix Culture: Labels, Pills, and Passive Interventions(02:33) Treat Young People as Crew (Not Passengers)(06:06) Phone Bans vs Real Priorities: The Broken Hill Lead Story(07:57) ‘Kids These Days': Moral Panics, History Repeats, and Common Sense(11:13) Modeling Responsibility: What Adults Must Do After the Ban(12:53) Bridging the Divide: Politics, Outrage, and What We're Protecting(17:27) Beginner's Mind & Learning: Conferences, Curiosity, and Humble Pie(19:22) Dr. Will Doba's Origin Story: From ADHD Kid to Social Work & Outdoor Therapy(26:10) Process Over Outcomes: Excellence in the Work (and the Podcast Trap)(32:36) Building a Feedback Culture: How to Get Better Without an Echo Chamber(37:28) Systematic Self-Critique: Recording Sessions, Asking Better Questions, Elite Practice(41:30) Feedback, growth, and why relationships get confronting(42:31) Therapy alliance: asking for negative feedback early(45:50) Micro-habits vs overwhelm: making change doable(48:52) Simple can be elegant: tiny tweaks, agency, and noticing the good(52:27) Change doesn't have to match the problem: finding a direction(56:48) Outdoor therapy & nature: benefits without the hype(59:01) Where to find the book + bonus resources(01:01:12) Biggest mental health burden: social connection, community, and engagement(01:04:28) Vulnerability at home: modeling teamwork through hard times(01:07:25) What kids imitate: phones, conflict, and healthy disagreement(01:09:57) Advice, regrets, and what happiness really means(01:16:18) Curiosity, learning, and the messy process of creating (plus wrap-up)Get the FREE Move Your Mind Masterclass here:go.nickbracks.com/moveyourmindAccess FREE Move Your Mind training here:https://go.moveyourmind.io/trainingConnect with Nick:Instagram: https://instagram.com/nickbracksWebsite: http://nickbracks.comEmail: contact@nickbracks.comConnect with Will:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/willdobud/Book: https://www.kidsthesedaysbook.com/will-dobud Hosted on Acast.
