Hundreds of environmental and climate justice advocates rally on Capitol Hill to oppose a deal secured by Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia to complete the controversial Mountain Valley Pipeline.The deal, to transport fracked natural gas 300 miles in Virginia, West Virginia and across the Appalachian trail, was reportedly secured in exchange for Manchin's support for the Inflation Reduction Act, which was passed and signed into law last month. This side deal adds insult to injury to climate activists, already angered that the Act offers only small fraction of what experts say is needed to address the climate catastrophe.   The show is made possible only by our volunteer energy, our resolve to keep the people's voices on the air, and by support from our listeners.

Doctors have been saying that a COVID-19 shot would be like getting a flu shot--it would happen once a year. It turns out they're right.

Speculation is often the most exciting and riskiest part of a wealth-building strategy. Venture capital is a great way to potentially boost your overall portfolio returns with a small allocation to this type of speculation. We usually talk about boring (consistent) returns on real estate investments, but today we are switching gears and chasing shiny objects! Listen in as Alec Ellison, Chairman of OurCrowd US, explains how to reduce risk while investing in startups, Series A, unicorns, and much more. These are definitely more risky than our typical real estate investment, but a small and careful allocation to venture capital can have positive effects on your overall portfolio. Tune in as Alec shares his journey with Jim Pfeifer on what it's like to pursue a proprietary public investment strategy, how to capitalize on the accelerating rate of technological change impacting companies across all industries, and learn why most startups aren't going public as early or often as in the past.

From creative to legal, Wynne links two things that don't often mesh naturally, and shares how and why they need to coexist in business.We've talked with Wynne before, and just can't get enough. As a self-described “conscientious lawyer and public speaker, fueled by hard work, passion, and success, with tireless support for others.”, Wynne has seen the many pieces that play into making business work.Wynne runs Reece Law [https://www.reece-law.com/] with her father, Jim Reece, and founded The Creative's Counsel® [https://www.reece-law.com/creativescounsel] -- a legal niche which provides services to entrepreneurs and creatives. Specializing in corporate, intellectual property, and mergers and acquisitions, The Creative's Counsel® supports businesses in an outside general counsel capacity. Their motto is, “We work, so that you can dream.” In finding a path for entrepreneurs and creatives to understand and own their businesses, Wynne relies on her own success in marrying the two pieces. This conversation serves up concrete to-dos in order to get a business or idea rolling, and offers a shift in perspective so, as a creative, your dreams and desires translate to those in the logistics side of things. Come along with us as we discuss:Wynne's starting point for all creatives of “What do you want and need from this venture?”the sometimes-rough truth to what entrepreneurship looks like IRL vs. on socialhow and why messaging to entrepreneurs shifts depending on their phase of lifethe down-and-dirty of starting a business, and warnings on not getting dupedwhat causes burnout and how Wynne suggests protecting yourself against itwhere to really spend the moneyHere's a look at the episode:[1:11] A recent study showed that 72% of Gen Z wants to start their own company. Wynne thinks that number may be low.[5:22] Wynne has different messages for those younger dreamers versus the seasoned professionals who are reinventing themselves.[7:49] The down-and-dirty of starting a business has a number of important pieces. (*This is NOT legal advice. These are our opinions only). Take notes here – you'll be glad you did![13:51] Burnout is a real thing and WILL happen at some point, and can be harder without the right team in place. Rather than trying to do it all and be it all, consider what the right team can do to let you thrive.[15:10] Three things Candace believes you always need to spend money on…and how it will serve you.[16:35] When the need arises for the creative to put on the analytical hat - and it will – there's a trick to speaking the right language to the right people in order to move yourself forward in an easy way.[20:14] Creatives often walk in to a potential partnership sharing their vision and dream, while executives are looking for the best bet for their business. Those opposing views can be detrimental, but that's where the business is happening. Figuring out how to marry the two will bring it all to fruition.Please rate and review the show!Like, subscribe , and follow us on TikTok and Instagram [https://linktr.ee/wtfwomenspodcast], and check out the blog [https://www.rowecapitalgroup.com/newsandwtfinsights].We love to hear from you about all things women and finance.

Celebration in Kansas last night, after voters rejected a move to remove abortion rights protections from the state's constitution. It's the first referendum on the issue since the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade. Voters rejected the measure, put forth by republican legislators, nearly 60 to 40 percent. Kansas is just one of five states that held key primary contests yesterday, and some of the GOP candidates backed by former President Trump are celebrating. An overseas trip by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is causing big friction with China this morning. She has just left Taiwan's capital, after visiting the national legislature and meeting with the country's president. The move has upset China, which considers Taiwan to be a rogue province. It's responding with military exercises around the island nation. Hot weather is replacing high water in eastern Kentucky. The deadly flooding is receding, and we're getting a better look at the disaster. Streets and buildings were filled with two feet of mud on Monday after a storm tore through the area. The death toll in Kentucky stands at 37, and the search for more victims continues. Governor Andy Beshear says most of the hundreds of people reported missing have been found.

Kansas voters on Tuesday sent a resounding message about their desire to protect abortion rights, rejecting a ballot measure in a conservative state with deep ties to the anti-abortion movement that would have allowed the Republican-controlled Legislature to tighten restrictions or ban the procedure outright. It was the first test of voter sentiment after the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in June that overturned the constitutional right to abortion, providing an unexpected result with potential implications for the coming midterm elections.

Americans do not always have a favorable opinion of immigrants, but is immigration a net positive for both immigrants and native-born citizens? Princeton University professor Leah Boustan is the author of a new book called “Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success” and joins the show to discuss why children of immigrants from around the world consistently succeed in climbing the economic ladder and how immigration expands our country's economic pie. Then, Michigan ACLU staff attorney Jay Kaplan joins the show to discuss the Michigan Supreme Court's latest decision barring discrimination based on sexual orientation.

In 2021, we brought you a story from reporter Kori Suzuki about Dahbia Benakli. She was a preschool teacher who lived in Walnut Creek, a suburb in the San Francisco Bay Area. She and her two kids were facing eviction from their apartment. That story ended in an uncertain place, with Dahbia waiting to find out whether or not she'd get to keep her apartment. In December, her landlord took them to court for refusing to leave their home. Across California, the number of evictions is rising. As public health restrictions around COVID have lifted, emergency housing protections like a statewide ban on evictions are also disappearing. And without them, more and more people are getting kicked out of their homes. In an update to the story, Kori Suzuki tells us about what happened to Dahbia and her family. This story is about what this moment is like for a lot of renters right now - and the options you might have if you find an eviction notice on your doorstep.   

Millions of renters could face evictions now that rental relief programs and bans on evictions have expired, or will soon. Those government programs targeted people who lost income during the pandemic, but many Californians have yet to recover financially and owe thousands in back rent. Even under existing programs, more than 135,000 households in California, nearly a third of the total, had their rent relief applications rejected, according to CalMatters. All of that along with rents creeping back up to pre-pandemic levels, could make way for a wave of new evictions. We'll talk about vulnerable tenants and what local, state and federal agencies could do to help. Guests: Erin Baldassari, housing affordability reporter, KQED; co-host, "SOLD OUT: Rethinking Housing in America" podcast Manuela Tobias, housing reporter, CalMatters Bonnie Bertram, producer and writer, Retro Report; partnered with Frontline, documentary "Facing Eviction" debuts on July 26.
