“Affliction, Covering, and National Accountability”Teachers: Kerry & Karen BattleAhava ~ Love AssemblyLeviticus 16 is not ceremony.It is survival law.After the death of Aaron's sons in Leviticus 10, Yahuah establishes the structure that prevents further destruction. Chapters 11–15 defined impurity. Leviticus 16 answers the question: How does a nation remain alive near the Presence?This chapter legislates restricted access, priestly responsibility, blood application, removal of iniquity, commanded affliction, and a statute declared olam, without expiration clause.This is covenant government.WHAT WE COVER IN THIS MESSAGERestricted Access and SurvivalLeviticus 16:1–2Access to the Most Set-Apart Place is not casual. Even the High Priest is governed. Proximity without order results in death.Preparation and DesignationLeviticus 16:3–10Washing, linen garments, bull for the priest, two goats, lots cast before Yahuah. Authority operates under command, not preference.Blood Within the VeilLeviticus 16:11–19Cleansing of the sanctuary because of the uncleanness and transgressions of Israel. Private sin contributes to collective contamination. The altar is not immune from the people.Confession and RemovalLeviticus 16:20–22All iniquities are confessed and borne away. Cleansing is incomplete if iniquity remains in the camp.Reset and ResidueLeviticus 16:23–28Garments changed. Bodies washed. Contact leaves residue. Holiness requires reset.Affliction and PermanenceLeviticus 16:29–34“This shall be a statute forever.” Olam means no expiration clause. The people are commanded to afflict their souls. Cleansing is paired with humility. Structure preserves those who submit to it.WHY THIS MESSAGE MATTERSHoliness is not casual.Access is governed.Cleansing is structured.Iniquity must be removed.Humility is commanded.Neglect is not harmless.Leviticus 16 teaches that dwelling with Yahuah requires restraint before joy, affliction before celebration, cleansing before tabernacles.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES FOR STUDYLeviticus 10Leviticus 11–15Leviticus 23:27–32Numbers 29:7Exodus 30:10Isaiah 58Joel 2Every section is taught precept upon precept.ABOUT AHAVA ~ LOVE ASSEMBLYWe teach the Pure Word of Yahuah.No religion.No tradition.No compromise.Our teaching follows the Sovereign Blueprint:Law | Precept | Example | Wisdom | Understanding | Prudence | Conviction | Fruit of the Ruach | Final Heart CheckSUPPORT THE WORK — GIVE VIA ZELLEZelle at: ahavaloveministry.comZelle only.No CashApp.No PayPal.FINAL WORDAccess is restricted.Blood is applied.Iniquity is removed.The nation humbles itself.Presence dwells where order is honored.Final Heart Check:If cleansing is commanded and affliction is required, are you humbling yourself under covenant structure, or assuming access without restraint?

Do you own or enjoy ATVs, UTVs, and off-road motorcycles? Tune in for a discussion regarding how one US county is debating the ban of these Off-road Highway Vehicles from county road ditches, citing safety risks and property damage. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Why Is Ditch Riding So Controversial? The legality of driving ATVs, UTVs, and off-road motorcycles in county road ditches is a highly debated rural policy issue today. While these vehicles are generally prohibited from paved roads, ditch riding laws vary widely by township, county, and state. At the heart of the debate are concerns about safety, property rights, environmental impact, noise and economic effects. Safety Concerns OHVs such as ATVs, UTVs, and dirt bikes are designed for off-road terrain—not public right-of-ways. Critics argue that: Many OHVs lack standard roadway safety features. Their high center of gravity increases rollover risk. Riders may lose control on uneven ditch terrain. Proximity to vehicle traffic creates collision risks. Property and Environmental Damage Another major issue involves landowner responsibility and infrastructure damage. Ditch riding can: Create ruts and soil erosion Destroy landscaping Damage public right-of-way infrastructure Increase noise complaints Under North Dakota Century Code 63-05-01, adjoining landowners are responsible for cutting weeds and grasses along regularly traveled county and township highways—including vegetation within the public right-of-way. If OHVs damage those areas, landowners may still be legally obligated to maintain them, increasing frustration and cost among property owners. Economic and Community Impact Because laws vary significantly: Check Local Ordinances: Regulations differ by town, county, and state—and can change quickly. Use Designated Trails Only: Riding is typically restricted to clearly marked and approved areas. Understand Age Requirements: Youth operators must meet state licensing or certification requirements. A Decision That Impacts the Future of Rural Communities The debate over ditch riding isn't just about recreation—it's about balancing safety, property rights, environmental stewardship, and economic vitality. As county commissioners and townships consider whether to ban or strictly regulate OHVs in road ditches, the outcome could set a precedent for how rural communities manage off-road recreation in the years ahead.

How to Move to Mexico: Visas, Costs, Taxes, and the Best Places to Live Mexico is one of the most popular countries in the world for Americans who want a lower cost of living, a warmer climate, and a richer day to day culture without moving halfway across the planet. Many expats are retirees, remote workers, or entrepreneurs who find that their money goes further while they gain a more relaxed lifestyle. For someone in the southwestern U.S. (like Arizona), Mexico is especially appealing because you can often drive instead of fly, keep close ties with friends and family, and still feel like you've made a big lifestyle upgrade. This guide walks through why and where to move, what it really costs, how visas work, how Mexican taxes function, when you might owe them, and other real world considerations that don't always show up in glossy travel articles. ________________________________________ Why move to Mexico? People move to Mexico for a mix of financial, personal, and lifestyle reasons. You can open this section with a simple story: for example, a couple selling a house in the U.S., paying cash for a home or condo in Mexico, and cutting their monthly expenses nearly in half while eating better and traveling more. Key motivations to highlight: Lower cost of living Mexico's overall cost of living is significantly lower than in the U.S. Rents in many Mexican cities are substantially cheaper than comparable U.S. cities, groceries and fresh produce are affordable, and services like cleaning, childcare, and home repairs cost far less. A couple who spends 5,000 USD per month in the U.S. can often live comfortably in Mexico on 2,000–3,500 USD per month, depending on city and lifestyle. Proximity and connectivity Unlike moving to Europe or Asia, living in Mexico means you're usually one flight away from your U.S. hometown. Major cities like Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Cancún, and Mérida have robust air connections. Internet infrastructure has improved a lot; mid size cities now often have fiber optic service, making remote work highly feasible. Lifestyle and climate variety Mexico is huge and geographically diverse. You can choose from: • Coastal beach towns with surf culture and sunsets • High altitude colonial cities with spring like weather • Mega cities with world class dining, museums, and nightlife • Smaller, artsy towns with vibrant local traditions You get to decide whether you want small town community, cosmopolitan buzz, or something in between. Culture, food, and community You'll never run out of festivals, markets, and regional dishes. For many expats, the biggest upgrade isn't just cheaper rent, but living in a place where there's always music in the plazas, food in the streets, and a sense of community. In many popular locations, there is also an established expat network to help you orient. Healthcare Private healthcare in Mexico is dramatically more affordable than in the U.S. Many expats pay out of pocket for routine care and buy local or international health insurance for major events. In larger cities you'll find modern hospitals and specialists, and in some cases doctors who trained abroad. ________________________________________ Where to move in Mexico Mexico isn't a single experience. Moving to Oaxaca is very different from moving to Mazatlán or Guadalajara. This section should help you “try on” a few places in your imagination. Mexico City Vibe: Big city, cosmopolitan, urban energy. Pros: World class restaurants, museums, art, music, and nightlife; excellent air connections; plenty of coworking spaces and job opportunities with international companies. Cons: Higher rents than many other Mexican cities, traffic and air pollution, security can vary by neighborhood. Mexico City suits people who want an urban life and don't mind density. It works well for younger professionals or creatives, and for remote workers who want big city culture at a lower price than New York, LA, or San Francisco. Guadalajara Vibe: Large city with a strong tech scene and traditional Jalisco culture (mariachi, tequila). Pros: Big city services without quite the chaos of Mexico City, growing startup and tech ecosystem, nearby towns and lakes for weekend escapes. Cons: Some neighborhoods can feel sprawling; traffic is very real; summers can be hot. Guadalajara is a good fit for remote workers and entrepreneurs who want a mix of modern infrastructure and traditional Mexican character. Lake Chapala (Ajijic/Chapala) Vibe: Classic retiree and snowbird destination near a large lake. Pros: Mild climate, large English speaking expat community, social clubs and activities, walkable village feel in places like Ajijic. Cons: Heavy expat presence can make it feel less “Mexican” to some; limited big city amenities compared to Guadalajara. This area is ideal for retirees who want community, comfort, and a gentle pace of life within reach of a major city. San Miguel de Allende Vibe: Picturesque colonial city, artsy, charming, and heavily international. Pros: Beautiful historic center, strong arts and cultural scene, plenty of restaurants and galleries. Cons: One of the more expensive inland cities; tourism and expat presence drive up housing costs. San Miguel appeals to people who prioritize aesthetics, architecture, and culture and are willing to pay a premium. Querétaro Vibe: Clean, orderly, fast growing city with industry and a large middle class. Pros: Safe reputation, good infrastructure, beautiful colonial center, strong job market in manufacturing and services. Cons: Less “touristy charm” in some newer suburbs; housing prices have been rising with growth. Querétaro works well for families and professionals who want a modern, organized city with good schools and services. Puebla Vibe: Historic, livable city with serious food culture and nearby nature. Pros: Gorgeous colonial architecture, famous cuisine (like mole poblano), access to mountains and smaller towns, a mix of traditional markets and modern malls. Cons: Higher altitude and cooler winters than coastal areas; still under the radar for many expats, so less English support than in Lake Chapala or San Miguel. Puebla suits people who love culture, gastronomy, and city life but don't need a huge expat bubble. Oaxaca City Vibe: Cultural and culinary capital with strong Indigenous traditions and arts. Pros: Outstanding food, vibrant markets, year round festivals, access to mountains and rural communities, often lower rents than more famous expat hubs. Cons: Smaller airport and fewer direct international flights; infrastructure can be a bit more rustic compared to megacities. Oaxaca is great for people who want deep culture, don't mind a bit of grit, and prefer authenticity over polish. Mérida and the Yucatán Vibe: Colonial city, family friendly, often cited for safety. Pros: Strong sense of community, rich history, cenotes and beaches nearby, growing expat scene. Cons: Hot and humid much of the year; air conditioning can be essential. Mérida appeals to families, retirees, and anyone who wants a mix of culture and relative safety in a warm climate. Puerto Vallarta / Riviera Nayarit Vibe: Beach town/medium city with a strong expat and LGBTQ+ community. Pros: Ocean, sunsets, whale watching, strong tourism economy, many English speaking services, international airport. Cons: Housing and dining in tourist zones are more expensive; high season crowds; summer humidity. This is an easy landing spot if you want a beach lifestyle and community support from day one. Mazatlán Vibe: Working port city with long beaches and a growing expat presence. Pros: Ocean side living, more “local” feel than some resort towns, improving infrastructure, cost of living that can be lower than in ultra commercial tourist areas. Cons: Humid climate; parts of the city feel industrial; some areas are still rough around the edges. Mazatlán is appealing if you want the Pacific coast without the heavy commercialization and highest prices of places like Los Cabos or Cancún. Place Vibe Big Pros Main Tradeoffs Mexico City Mega‑city Culture, jobs, flights Cost, traffic, pollution Guadalajara Big, traditional Tech scene, culture Sprawl, traffic Lake Chapala Retiree village Mild climate, expat community Fewer urban amenities San Miguel Artsy colonial Beauty, culture Higher housing costs Querétaro Modern, orderly Safety, infrastructure Rising prices Puebla Historic, foodie Cuisine, architecture, nature nearby Less expat support Oaxaca City Cultural hub Food, festivals, affordability Smaller airport, rustic edges Mérida Warm, family‑oriented Safety, history Heat and humidity Puerto Vallarta Beach city Ocean, expat support Tourist prices in key areas Mazatlán Port/beach city More local feel, coast Humidity, some gritty areas ________________________________________ Cost of living in Mexico Readers want numbers, but it's better to provide realistic ranges and examples than a single “magic” figure. Basic cost structure Housing Rents vary wildly by location. A modest one bedroom in a non touristy city might rent for the equivalent of a few hundred dollars per month. In upscale neighborhoods of Mexico City or popular beach towns, modern apartments can cost as much or more than many mid tier U.S. cities. Utilities and internet Electricity is affordable unless you run heavy air conditioning all year, which you might need on the coasts and in the lowlands. Internet and mobile service are reasonably priced, with fiber available in many urban areas. Food and groceries Fresh fruits, vegetables, and staples are cheap, especially if you shop in local markets. Imported items (certain cheeses, specialty products) are more expensive. Eating at local restaurants and street food stalls is inexpensive; high end dining in major cities is still far cheaper than equivalent places in the U.S. Transportation Public transit, taxis, and app based rides are affordable. Owning a car involves fuel, insurance, and maintenance costs, but these are usually lower than in the U.S. You can often live car free in dense cities like Mexico City, Guadalajara, or Puebla. Example monthly budgets (rough, per household) Frugal single in a non touristy city • Rent (studio/1 bed): 400–600 USD equivalent • Utilities and internet: 70–120 • Groceries and local dining: 250–350 • Local transport and misc.: 100–150 • Total: roughly 800–1,200 USD per month Comfortable couple in a mid range city • Rent (nice 2 bed apartment): 700–1,200 USD • Utilities, internet, mobile: 120–200 • Groceries and eating out several times a week: 400–600 • Health insurance (local or international): 200–400 • Transport, entertainment, gyms, etc.: 200–400 • Total: roughly 1,600–2,800 USD per month Beach town or premium neighborhood living In high demand areas (like parts of Puerto Vallarta, San Miguel de Allende, or prime zones in Mexico City), you can easily spend 2,500–4,000 USD per month or more for a couple if you choose modern housing, eat out frequently, and live a more upscale lifestyle. Startup costs Don't forget one time or irregular costs: • Visa fees for temporary or permanent residency • International flights or moving your belongings • First month's rent plus deposit (sometimes more for furnished places) • Basic furniture and household goods if you're not renting furnished • Car purchase or import (if you choose to have one) Encourage readers to arrive with a cash cushion: at least 3–6 months of living expenses plus relocation costs. ________________________________________ Visa options and residency paths Mexico's visa system offers several ways to stay, depending on your plans and finances. Tourist stay Many foreigners enter Mexico as tourists without a visa and receive permission to stay up to a certain number of days (often up to 180 days, but it is not guaranteed). A tourist stay: • Does not allow you to work for Mexican employers • Does not let you access local residency benefits • Is not meant as a long term “back to back” solution Tourist entries are good for exploration trips but not for a full time move. Temporary resident (Residente Temporal) Temporary residency is the most common path for people who want to live in Mexico for more than six months without immediately going permanent. General characteristics: • Usually granted initially for 1 year, with the possibility to renew up to 4 years • Allows you to live in Mexico full time, open local bank accounts, and sometimes get local health coverage • Does not automatically grant permission to work; if you plan to work in Mexico you need work authorization attached to your residency Most temporary residents qualify via financial solvency (proof of income or savings). Typical recent numbers: • Monthly income requirement: roughly in the low to mid 4,000 USD range for the last 6–12 months, depending on the consulate • Savings/investment requirement: often in the high five figures to low six figures in USD equivalent, again varying by consulate Each Mexican consulate sets its own exact thresholds and evidence rules, so readers must always check with the specific consulate where they'll apply. Permanent resident (Residente Permanente) Permanent residency is ideal if you plan to live in Mexico indefinitely. Characteristics: • No need for frequent renewals • Lets you live in Mexico as long as you like • Often used by retirees or those with strong ties to Mexico (like family connections) You can qualify either: • Directly from abroad if you meet higher income or savings requirements, often thousands of dollars more per month than temporary residency; or • By first holding temporary residency for several years (for many, 4 years), then converting to permanent status inside Mexico. Again, the exact thresholds and documentation depend on the consulate and can change year to year. Work visas and business If you plan to work for a Mexican employer or run a Mexican company that needs your presence, you need proper work authorization. Basic ideas: • A Mexican employer can sponsor you for a temporary resident visa with permission to work if they are registered with the immigration authorities. • You cannot legally work in Mexico for a Mexican entity on a tourist visa. • If you intend to start a business (for example, a hotel, restaurant, or tourism operation), you'll need legal and tax advice to structure it correctly and secure the right visa. ________________________________________ Visa process: step by step overview You can treat this as a checklist. 1. Clarify your plan Decide how long you want to stay and whether you'll work, retire, or just live on savings or remote income. That determines whether you need temporary or permanent residency, and whether you need work authorization. 2. Choose a consulate and check requirements Review the website of the Mexican consulate you'll use (near your U.S. residence, for example). Requirements vary: one might emphasize income, another savings; some want 12 months of bank statements, others 6. 3. Gather documents Typical documents include: passport, completed application form, passport photos, bank and/or investment statements, pension or Social Security award letters, marriage or birth certificates if applying with family members. 4. Book and attend the consulate appointment You'll have a short interview, submit your documents, and pay a fee. If approved, the consulate places a visa sticker in your passport, usually valid for a limited period to enter Mexico and “activate” your residency. 5. Enter Mexico and finalize at immigration (INM) Within a set number of days after entering Mexico on your new visa (often 30 days), you must go to your local immigration office, complete forms, pay fees, and provide biometrics to receive your residency card. 6. Renew or convert (for temporary residents) Temporary residents must renew before their card expires, often annually at first. After the allowed number of years, many can convert to permanent residency. Many applicants use a local immigration facilitator or attorney, especially if their Spanish is limited or if they have a more complex case. ________________________________________ How Mexican taxes work This is where readers start wondering, “How much are Mexican taxes, and what do they tax?” Income tax (ISR) Mexico has a progressive income tax called ISR (Impuesto Sobre la Renta) that applies to individuals. For tax residents (people who are considered resident in Mexico for tax purposes): • The system uses progressive tax brackets. • Rates start at low single digits on small incomes (around 1.9%) and rise stepwise. • The top marginal rate is around 35% on high incomes (at several million pesos per year). • Most employment income is taxed through withholding by the employer, with an annual true up in a tax return. For non residents (people who are not tax resident in Mexico but have Mexican source income): • There is usually an exemption for a small initial amount of income. • Above that, one common pattern is 15% tax on mid range income and 30% on higher income, depending on the type and level of income. You don't need to quote exact peso thresholds to readers; it's enough to say that most ordinary incomes are taxed at moderate rates, while high incomes pay up to about 35%. What income do they tax? For Mexican tax residents, Mexico generally taxes worldwide income: • Wages and salaries from Mexican or foreign employers • Self employment and business income • Rental income from property in Mexico or abroad • Interest, dividends, and capital gains • Some pensions and retirement income, depending on the source and treaties For non residents, Mexico usually taxes only Mexican source income: • Income from work physically performed in Mexico • Rental income from Mexican real estate • Business profits from a Mexican business or permanent establishment • Some Mexican source interest and dividends If your readers are U.S. citizens, remind them: they must still file a U.S. tax return even if they also become Mexican tax residents, and they may be able to offset Mexican taxes through tax credits or exclusions. Value added tax (IVA) Mexico's sales tax is a value added tax called IVA. • The standard IVA rate is 16%, applied to most goods and services, including many consumer purchases and professional services. • There is a reduced rate (often around 8%) in certain border regions to promote competitiveness. • Some items are zero rated or exempt: many basic foods, some medicines, exports, certain types of housing, and some education and health services. As a consumer, you see IVA embedded in most prices, much like sales tax in the U.S. For businesses (like a hotel or restaurant), you collect IVA on sales and remit it to the government. Other common taxes and contributions Depending on what you do in Mexico, you might also encounter: • Social security contributions for employees (if you work for a Mexican employer) • Property taxes (predial), which are generally much lower than typical U.S. property taxes on a comparable property • Vehicle registration fees if you own a car You don't need to go into detail here, but it's worth flagging that these exist and are part of the overall tax picture. ________________________________________ Tax examples: retiree, remote worker, and Mexican employed American These simplified examples assume the person has become a Mexican tax resident (over 183 days per year in Mexico and/or center of vital interests in Mexico). Real world outcomes depend on exact numbers, deductions, the current year's brackets, and treaty interpretation, so they are for illustration only and not tax advice. Example 1: Retiree getting 30,000 USD/year in U.S. Social Security Assumptions: • 30,000 USD/year in U.S. Social Security, no other income. • Exchange rate of 18 MXN per USD → 540,000 MXN/year. • Lives in Mexico full time and is treated as a tax resident. Key points: • Foreign pensions, including U.S. Social Security, may need to be reported to the Mexican tax authority (SAT) once you are a Mexican tax resident. • In practice, some advisors and expats find that U.S. Social Security and U.S. retirement distributions are primarily taxed in the U.S., with Mexico focusing more on Mexican source income, but the safest assumption is that Mexico can tax worldwide income and may expect you to declare it. How you might explain it to readers: • If you are a retiree with 30,000 USD/year in Social Security and no other income, you will still deal with U.S. tax rules on that income. • Once you become a Mexican tax resident, Mexico may require you to report that income, but whether they actually tax it depends on treaty rules and how your situation is interpreted. • A cross border tax professional can tell you whether you'll see any Mexican tax on that Social Security or whether your liabilities remain mostly on the U.S. side. Plain English takeaway: retirees living on moderate U.S. Social Security often don't get hammered by Mexican income tax, but they should plan on at least reporting their income and coordinating U.S. and Mexican filings. Example 2: Remote American worker living in Mexico, making 80,000 USD/year from a U.S. employer Assumptions: • 80,000 USD/year salary from a U.S. company, work performed remotely while living in Mexico. • Exchange rate 18 MXN/USD → 1,440,000 MXN per year. • Spends more than 183 days/year in Mexico, so is a Mexican tax resident. Key points: • Mexico taxes its residents on worldwide income, which includes your U.S. salary. • If you are effectively working from Mexico, Mexico views that as Mexican taxable employment or self employment income, even if your employer is in the U.S. Approximate effect: • At around 1.44 million MXN/year, you'll be in higher ISR brackets, facing a top marginal rate of 35% on the upper slice of your income and a blended effective rate likely in the low to mid 20% range, after standard calculations. • You still file a U.S. return every year. • You may use the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion and/or foreign tax credits to prevent being fully taxed twice. If you're a U.S. citizen working remotely from Mexico and earning 80,000 USD/year from a U.S. employer, expect to owe Mexican income tax as a resident and still file a U.S. return. The good news is that, with proper planning, Mexican tax you pay can usually be credited against your U.S. tax so you're not double taxed on the same income. Example 3: American earning 60,000 USD/year from a Mexican employer Assumptions: • American citizen employed by a Mexican company, working in Mexico. • 60,000 USD/year salary → 1,080,000 MXN/year at 18 MXN/USD. • Treated as a Mexican tax resident. Key points: • This is clearly Mexican source employment income. • Your Mexican employer will withhold ISR from your paycheck based on the progressive tables, plus social security and other payroll contributions. • At roughly 1.08 million MXN/year, you're again in higher brackets, with an effective tax rate that can land roughly in the low to mid 20% range, depending on deductions and credits. • As a U.S. citizen, you still file a U.S. tax return but can typically use foreign tax credits and, possibly, the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion to avoid paying full tax twice. If you're an American making about 60,000 USD/year working for a Mexican employer, you'll see Mexican taxes withheld from every paycheck and you'll still file in the U.S., but in many cases the Mexican tax you pay will substantially offset what you owe the IRS. ________________________________________ When do you have to file Mexican taxes? Taxes depend on tax residency, not just on immigration status (visa type). When do you become a Mexican tax resident? Mexico may treat you as a tax resident when: • You spend more than 183 days in Mexico in a calendar year; or • Mexico is the “center of your vital interests,” meaning your main economic or family ties are there (for example, your spouse and minor children live in Mexico and you earn most of your income from Mexican sources). Residency for tax purposes is a legal determination, not just a personal choice, so it's wise to consult a tax professional if you're unsure. Filing and paying For Mexican tax residents: • Individuals generally file an annual income tax return, often in the spring of the following year (recent years use April 30 as a common deadline). • Some types of income require monthly provisional payments. • Employers withhold tax on salary, and banks or brokers may withhold on interest and other income. For non residents: • Mexican tax is often withheld at source by the payer (for example, a Mexican employer or tenant), at the applicable non resident rates. A simple rule of thumb for your readers: • If you spend less than 183 days in Mexico per year and don't earn Mexican source income, you usually don't file a Mexican tax return (but you still file in your home country). • If you live in Mexico most of the year, own a business there, or earn income from Mexican property or employment, expect to deal with Mexican tax returns and possibly to be treated as a tax resident. Always encourage readers to get cross border tax advice, especially U.S. citizens who may need to coordinate U.S. and Mexican returns. ________________________________________ Other important considerations Rounding out the blog with practical and cultural issues makes it feel grounded. Healthcare and insurance • Many expats use a combination of local private healthcare and insurance (either Mexican private plans or international expat policies). • Some long term residents enroll in Mexico's public healthcare system, but quality and access can vary by region. • Before moving, review how your current health insurance will work abroad and plan for major emergencies. Banking and money • Most people keep at least one bank account in their home country and open a Mexican account after they get residency, making it easier to pay rent and utilities. • Money transfer services and online banks can offer better exchange rates and lower fees than traditional bank wires. • U.S. citizens must also be mindful of foreign account reporting requirements (like FBAR and FATCA). Renting vs buying property • Renting first is usually smart. It gives you time to test neighborhoods, understand noise patterns, get a feel for the climate, and decide if you really like the city. • Buying property in Mexico can be attractive, especially in less expensive markets, but there are legal nuances, including special structures (like fideicomisos) for coastal and border properties. • Using a reputable notario (a specialized legal official) and real estate professionals is critical. Safety • Safety in Mexico is highly regional and neighborhood specific. Some places are very comfortable for day to day life, while others have serious security issues. • Research specific cities and neighborhoods, use recent data, and talk to locals and expats on the ground, not just headline news. • As in any country, common sense precautions (knowing where not to go at night, avoiding displays of wealth, learning local norms) go a long way. Language and integration • Learning Spanish is one of the best investments an expat can make. Even basic Spanish opens doors: cheaper local services, smoother dealings with bureaucracy, better relationships with neighbors. • Integration means respecting local customs, supporting local businesses, and avoiding “little bubble” lifestyles where expats only interact with each other. Working or running a business • Anyone planning to run a hotel, restaurant, tour company, or other business in Mexico needs clarity on immigration status, work authorization, and tax obligations. • A business that employs locals (for example, a hotel/restaurant concept in Puebla or a tourism operation in Oaxaca or Mazatlán) can be both profitable and socially impactful, but it requires upfront planning with local lawyers, accountants, and immigration professionals. • Operating “informally” or on a tourist visa can create serious immigration and tax problems.

In this Daily Shift, Celeste explores the importance of reciprocity in relationships. Access isn't automatic — it should reflect consistency, effort, and mutual investment. This episode is a reminder that adjusting proximity isn't punishment; it's alignment. Energy should be mutual, and participation should be visible. Proximity should reflect participation. Small shifts create big change.

Today we're sitting down with Chidi Asoluka — founder and CEO of NewComm — to ask a question every nonprofit leader should be wrestling with: who actually gets to design change?At NewComm, high school students manage real budgets, design real projects, and build networks most people don't access until much later in life. The lessons Chidi has learned building it are for every leader in this space.He got out of his own head and into the heads of the people he was trying to impact. What he found there reshaped everything — his program, his systems, and his understanding of what it means to lead.We dig into:Why proximity beats expertise in designing real changeWhat funders get wrong when success has to look neat and linearWhy real authority — not just a seat at the table — changes everythingPlus the remarkable true story that drives everything Chidi does, and his simple mantra for leading with clarity in a noisy world.Some conversations change how you see the work. This is one of them.

Two new healing centers count on location, cultural practice, and family connections to break the destructive effects of substance abuse. In Lodge Grass, Mont., organizers plan an integrated foster care facility to complement a campus designed to support families affected by addiction. The non-profit organization behind the center estimates that number reaches as high as 60% of residents in the small town on the Crow Reservation. The Pawnee Nation in Oklahoma is also expanding adult residential and outpatient services close to home, as well as support for children whose lives are disrupted. We'll hear about a promising focus on cultural treatment options, harm reduction, and strengthening families to break addiction's generational cycles. GUESTS Mary Blackowl (Cheyenne and Arapaho, Pawnee, and Comanche), tribal opioid response prevention specialist for the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma Karaya Fritzler (Apsáalooke, Aaniiih, and Lakota), certified behavioral health peer specialist for the Mountain Shadow Association Megkian Doyle, executive director of the Mountain Shadow Association Mike Ortiz, program coordinator for the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma's substance abuse program

This year marks the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Little Bighorn, which is also called the Battle of the Greasy Grass or Custer's Last Stand. Ahead of commemorative events planned in late June near Crow Agency, Mont. are reports that the National Park Service (NPS) is removing signs sharing the Native perspective on the battle. Brian Bull (Nez Perce) of Buffalo's Fire reports. In late January, the Washington Post reported that President Trump ordered the removal of signage through his so-called “restoring truth and sanity to American history” directive, which pushes an ideology that the U.S. has an “unmatched record of advancing liberty, prosperity, and human flourishing.” The Battle of Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument is on the list of sites. Wallace Bear Chum is chairman for the Northern Cheyenne Cultural Commission. Along with the Lakota Sioux and Arapaho, his tribe defeated Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer and 7th Cavalry Regiment in 1876. Bear Chum says federal officials and tribes need to discuss any changes per their government-to-government relationship. “We're still finding out what exact changes that they're going to make. And the Northern Cheyenne, it was a victory for us there. And our story's there, I mean how can you change that story? Y'know, there's no way you can do that. And what exactly are they trying to change?” The Northern Cheyenne Tribe unanimously approved a resolution last month to prevent any changes to markers, signage, and monuments that recognize Native people at Little Bighorn, a direct challenge to the Trump administration. Meanwhile, an email from the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's Office denies any signage has been taken down at the battlefield monument. It says parks are complying through an ongoing review process with subject-matter experts, tribal partners, and park leadership. Courtesy NPS An Alaska doctor has documented the first case of a rare and potentially risky infection from contact with a brown bear. Alaska Public Media’s Rachel Cassandra reports. The infection is known as “seal finger” and people typically get it handling seals, especially during seal hunting and processing, but in 2024, Dr. Benjamin Westley diagnosed it in a man who had cut his hand skinning a brown bear hunted on the Alaska Peninsula. He had three days of redness and painful swelling that didn't resolve with standard antibiotics. Dr. Westley says early tests “did not find anything definitive, so eventually he sent a tissue sample to a lab for more comprehensive analysis. “What was particularly shocking about this patient was he had a finger infection after skinning a brown bear that was not responding properly to antibiotics. So I sent special PCR tests, but I did not expect this bacteria.” Seal finger is not uncommon in Alaska and circumpolar regions, but Westley says this is only the second time this potentially more serious strain of the infection has been identified in the state. He diagnosed the first case too, in a patient whose finger infection had spread to his hip. “So when the report came back, I was shocked, because the first case was my own patient 10 years prior, and now it was the exact same bacteria for the second time in Alaska, but from a brown bear exposure, not from a seal exposure.” The infection is only a risk through direct or indirect animal contact. Other cases outside the state have been tied to a polar bear and a domestic cat. Scientists do not know if those animals caused seal finger because they had contact with a seal or through other means. In this case, the patient was treated at first with the wrong type of antibiotics used for bacterial infections. That allowed the infection to worsen and ultimately caused dead tissue, a damaged tendon and a bone infection. He recovered, but still has lingering finger stiffness. Seal finger is often misdiagnosed and a delay in treatment can cause serious problems, so Westley urges health care providers to consider treating patients for seal finger if they have an infection and had contact with seals, bears, or cats. That is even before getting bacterial test results. Westley says Alaskans can also protect themselves when hunting and processing seals or bears. “Try not to get injured through the skin, cut or let bacteria from an animal you’re working with into the tissue, because that can result in a manner of weird infections that can be hard for doctors to sort out.” And he says to wash your hands with soap if you get a wound.

Rob and Justin had a plan. Scale Justin's brain across the entire P3 consulting team. Build an AI agent that bottled up his frameworks, his instincts, the way he navigates AI conversations with clients. In theory, everyone gets smarter overnight. It was a solid idea. The tech worked. The knowledge base was deep. The guardrails were tight. And almost nobody used it. Not because it was broken. Because the team wasn't waking up thinking, "Man, if only I could channel Justin right now." That wasn't the fire in front of them. So instead of feeling like leverage, the agent felt like homework. And that's the punchline. You can build something powerful and still miss the mark. No one was losing sleep over not having this tool. No one's bonus depended on it. So it drifted. Not rejected. Just... optional. That's a brutal place for a "strategic initiative" to land. The fix isn't a better tool. It's sequencing. Define the services, train the team, build the human infrastructure that makes the tool land on a surface that's ready for it. Every AI project that has worked traces back to the builder being a direct stakeholder. Not adjacent to the problem. In it. Proximity to the pain is doing a lot of work that no amount of clever architecture can replace. When leaders are the ones excited about AI and employees are the ones expected to use it, you've got a stakeholder mismatch. And that mismatch is quietly killing more AI initiatives than any technical failure ever will. If you're planning a rollout, or already wondering why yours isn't sticking, this episode is for you.

For over 400 years, the belief that surrounding yourself with like-minded, high-status people in the right rooms would fast-track your success has felt not just true – it's felt safe. Paid masterminds, celebrity-led groups, proximity plays built on follower counts and influence. But what if that entire belief is being dismantled, and your nervous system is already starting to feel it?Kathryn unpacks how the Human Design shift from the Cross of Planning into the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix is dismantling one of the biggest beliefs in business and what's actually being asked of you instead. If you've ever felt viscerally out of place in a room that demanded you conform, follow the doctrine, or earn your seat through status, this episode is going to feel like permission.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER:Why the 400-year era of the Cross of Planning – built on homogenization, fitting in, and following what society deemed worthy (school, job, marriage, the prescribed path to success) – is shifting into the Cross of The Sleeping Phoenix, and what it means that your nervous system is going to stop feeling safe conforming to a world that no longer honors who you actually are.How the business belief that you need to pay for proximity to celebrity influencers, join the high-ticket mastermind, or only form relationships with people who hold equal or higher status is being dismantled and why Kathryn never bought into the idea that vanity metrics like follower count determine who is worthy of a conversation or a seat at the table.The difference between the group-think echo chamber of most masterminds and group coaching programs – where everyone attracts the same type of person, is taught the same doctrine, and leaves with a slightly repackaged version of the same tactic – and the kind of rich, dynamic, mutually generative co-creation that's emerging in the new paradigm, where a barista, a sourdough baker in Minnesota, or a WhatsApp conversation with a client might unlock more genuine insight than a $50K room ever could.What this shift means if you run a mastermind, group coaching program, or curriculum-based offer – specifically the question of whether your structure is asking people to conform to your methodology rather than honoring their differentiation – and why the five-step framework model is going to increasingly feel misaligned as people become too uniquely themselves to fit a one-size-fits-all path.And while you're here, follow us on Instagram @creativelyowned for more daily inspiration on effortlessly attracting the most aligned clients without spending hours marketing your business or chasing clients.

Episode 228 of The Hitstreak, a podcast where we talk about anything and everything!  This week we are joined by Former MLB Pitcher, Cy Young Award Winner, Author, and Speaker, R.A. Dickey!Episode in a Glance:In this episode of The Hitstreak, I sit down with R.A. Dickey, a former professional baseball player, discussing his journey from overcoming personal adversity to achieving success in sports. Our conversation delves into themes of faith, family, and the lessons learned through the highs and lows of an athletic career. Dickey shares insights on the importance of embracing one's past, the role of relationships in personal growth, and the unique challenges faced by professional athletes. The episode concludes with reflections on gratitude and resilience in the face of life's challenges.Key Points:- Success stories often start from nothing.- Embracing your past can lead to freedom.- Faith is a skill that needs practice.- Family plays a crucial role in personal growth.- Professional sports teach valuable life lessons.- Gratitude is essential for happiness.- Proximity to positive influences matters.- Overcoming adversity shapes character.- Every setback can lead to a comeback.About our guest: R.A. Dickey is a former Major League Baseball pitcher, World Series champion, Olympian, and 2012 National League Cy Young Award winner, best known for resurrecting his career through mastery of the knuckleball. Drafted in the first round despite the early discovery that he was missing a ligament in his throwing arm, Dickey's career became a story of perseverance, reinvention, and faith. After years of setbacks, injuries, and uncertainty, he reinvented himself in his mid-30s—an age when most pitchers are declining—and became one of the most dominant and durable pitchers in baseball, leading MLB innings from 2011–2015. Beyond the field, Dickey is a bestselling author and sought-after speaker whose work centers on resilience, identity, accountability, and personal growth. His memoir Wherever I Wind Up chronicles his unconventional baseball journey and hard-earned success, while Wherever I Wind Up: My Quest for Truth, Authenticity, and the Perfect Knuckleball, plus Knuckleball Ned, reflects his passion for storytelling and mentorship. Dickey is widely respected for his vulnerability in addressing topics such as childhood trauma, leadership, and the cost—and reward—of doing the hard internal work required for lasting success. Grounded in discipline, honesty, and a belief that growth often comes through discomfort, R.A. Dickey's story resonates beyond sports, offering lessons on reinvention, endurance, and purpose.Follow and contact:Instagram: @RADickey43Subscribe to Nick's top-rated podcast The Hitstreak on Youtube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/NickHite⁠rFollow and Rate us on Spotify: ⁠https://spotify.com/NickHiter⁠Follow and Rate us on Apple Podcast: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/NickHiter⁠Follow and Rate us on iHeartRadio: ⁠https://www.iheart.com/NickHiter

Send a textWhat happens when a suffering friend meets a confident accuser? We open Job 19 and sit with a raw, unsettling question: why do people add weight to a soul already under God's heavy hand? Job's plea—“Have pity on me, for the hand of God has touched me”—cuts through easy answers and forces us to reckon with sovereignty, compassion, and the limits of our insight.We trace Job's isolation line by line, then examine the turning point where he appeals for mercy rather than defense. From there, we explore a hard truth with freeing power: affliction is not random. If God ordains our steps, then the role of friends is not to play judge but to embody mercy. That shift reframes spiritual care. Instead of assuming secret sin, we learn to listen, to ask careful questions, and to season our counsel with grace. We show why doubling someone's burden—like Pharaoh stripping straw from the Israelites—betrays both wisdom and love, and how a “physician” posture can restore dignity, clarity, and hope.Along the way, we talk about the throne of the heart and the subtle temptation to sit on someone else's. Proximity to truth is not permission to pronounce verdicts; only Christ rules the conscience. We reflect on Job's longing for his words to be written and graven in stone, a timeless picture of a sufferer seeking honest remembrance rather than rumor. You'll leave with practical handles for walking with afflicted friends: slow down, refuse suspicion's shortcuts, remember God's providence, and choose mercy over mastery. If you've been wounded by misguided counsel—or fear becoming that friend—this conversation offers both caution and comfort.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs gentler counsel, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway so others can find it too.RISE RADIOEach week we discuss some of the most important issues we face in our society today.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Welcome to episode #1025 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a moment when panic travels faster than proof, few marketers are as clear-eyed… and as human… as Ann Handley. A pioneering digital marketing strategist (MarketingProfs), bestselling author (Everybody Writes and Content Rules), longtime champion of writing that actually means something and dear friend (also, if you're not susbscribed to her newsletter, Total Annarchy, you really should be), Ann has built a career reminding businesses that the point of content isn't velocity… it's connection. In her recent essay, Something Messy Is Happening: On AI, Panic, and Asking Better Questions, she pushes back against the apocalyptic certainty surrounding AI job displacement and challenges the framing that faster always wins. Responding to venture capitalist Matt Shumer's argument, Something Big Is Happening, that AI will eliminate half of white-collar work within a few years, Ann dissects the seductive panic embedded in exponential curves and racing metaphors, arguing that technological capability does not equal economic inevitability. She reminds us that adoption is human-shaped, that judgment compounds when speed becomes cheap, and that friction is often where thinking actually happens. Rather than choosing between "adapt or die," Ann advocates for a steadier path: use the tools, reject the hysteria, protect the work that builds trust, expertise and meaning over time. Grounded in curiosity rather than fear, her perspective reframes the moment not as a race to outrun machines but as an invitation to ask better questions about what we're building… and why.

Week 3 of our Jesus Is King series continues with a powerful message from Pastor Mandy rooted in Mark 1 and 2. In Mark 1:45, we see that although Jesus could no longer openly enter towns, people still came to Him from everywhere. The crowds were drawn to Him—but this week's message challenges us to ask: what do we really need? In Mark 2:3–5, four men carried their paralyzed friend to Jesus, refusing to let obstacles stop them. Pastor Mandy reminds us that we really need faith-filled friends—friends who don't just comfort us in crisis but carry us toward our deliverance. When Jesus saw their faith, He forgave the man's sins, revealing that our deepest need goes beyond physical healing. The religious leaders in Mark 2:6–8 had information about God, but their hearts were unmoved. Information isn't transformation. Proximity to Jesus isn't the same as surrender to Jesus. Just as physical paralysis happens when the brain sends signals but the body cannot respond, spiritual paralysis happens when truth reaches the mind but never transforms the heart. Knowledge without obedience stops movement toward God. James 1:22 reminds us: “Do not merely listen to the word… Do what it says.” The paralyzed man couldn't move. The religious leaders wouldn't move. And in both cases, Jesus revealed the greater issue—sin. Romans 3:23 tells us that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. As Charles Spurgeon wrote, “Our Lord did not first heal the man's body, but His soul; for the disease of sin is deeper than the weakness of the flesh.” Healed circumstances without healed hearts will not last. Jesus shows that He has authority over both our physical condition and our spiritual state. What you really need isn't just better circumstances, more information, or even stronger community—you need a Savior. Watch Week 3 of Jesus Is King and discover how Jesus meets our deepest need.

Does your child spend their day in the general education classroom, but you suspect they aren't truly included? In this episode of Water Prairie Chronicles, we are unpacking the dangerous myth that "proximity is a program." Just because a student is physically in the room doesn't mean they belong. Join me as we break down the difference between mainstreaming and true inclusion, explore the transformative power of a sensory audit, and learn how to write IEP goals that prioritize social connection over mere compliance. Let's help your child find their place on the dance floor.

Book a call with my team: https://linktw.in/aqROSR In this video, I'm breaking down why proximity is the most underrated lever in business and how being in the right room with the right people at the right time creates transformational shifts you can't get anywhere else. The fastest way to grow isn't a course. It's not a book. It's not even a mentor. It's proximity. Getting close to people who are already where you want to be. Every major shift in my business happened because I got into the right room at the right time, and I'm showing you exactly how to create that for yourself even if you're starting from zero. I'm walking you through what proximity actually creates and giving you the exact playbook for how to build proximity strategically. If you're spending more time consuming content than having real conversations with people ahead of you, you're missing the most important part. I host in-person masterminds where business owners come together to solve real problems, build real connections, and create the kind of proximity that changes everything.

In today's fast-paced world, the conversation about community matters more than ever, especially in a time when isolation is one of the biggest challenges many women are facing. In this episode, Monique breaks down the huge difference between simply being in a room with people and being in a space where someone can truly say, “I'm in the right place. This is where I belong.” She explores why so many women leave group programs, masterminds, and memberships feeling underwhelmed, not because the space was “bad,” but because it wasn't curated with the depth, specificity, and psychological safety needed for real transformation.Monique unpacks what aligned community actually means, why group size and curation matter, and how to stop settling for spaces that force women back into survival when they are seeking spaces that support thriving.

How can a play devised by enemies, performed in four locations across a peace wall in the middle of a war zone help provoke lasting peace?In November 1999, in Belfast, Northern Ireland, a community play called The Wedding brought Protestants and Catholics together to rehearse a shared future in the fragile aftermath of the Good Friday Agreement. It wasn't a feel-good arts project. It was risky, volatile, negotiated truth performed in living rooms and kitchen houses on both sides of the peace line.In this episode, we revisit that moment — not as nostalgia, but as a live question for a divided United States struggling to imagine a coherent democratic future.In this episode, we explore three critical lessons from Belfast that feel urgently relevant today:Proximity changes people. Intimacy — not abstraction — makes caricature impossible.Shared labor builds trust before shared opinion. Competence together can precede consensus.Hope is not a feeling. It's a container built through practice. Democracy survives inside structured collaboration, not slogans.Listen in for a return to Belfast — and a serious invitation to consider what it would mean to rehearse the future together, here and now.NOTABLE MENTIONSPeopleBill ClevelandHost of Art Is Change and author of Art and Upheaval.David TrimbleLeader of the Ulster Unionist Party and key political figure in the Good Friday Agreement.George J.

Your current location and relationships are not accidental but are a divine assignment to practice the "incarnational" love of Jesus. Drawing on the example of early Christian martyrs and the concept of the oikos (relational ecosystem), we are challenged to stop looking for a "shinier" life elsewhere and instead transform our own neighborhoods and workplaces through intentional, embodied presence.

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Wharton economist Judd Kessler, author of Lucky by Design: The Hidden Economics You Need to Get More of What You Want. If you have ever looked at someone else's career success and thought, "They just got lucky," this conversation will give you a new lens. Judd introduces the idea of "hidden markets," the informal rules and systems that shape who gets opportunities, access, and scarce resources, even when money is not changing hands. They explore how leaders can evaluate allocation rules using Judd's three Es (equitable, efficient, and easy), why first come, first served "races" often reward availability more than merit, and how waiting lists can quietly shift costs onto the people least able to pay them. You will also hear Judd's "settle for silver" strategy, a practical way to make smarter choices in competitive markets, plus a thoughtful parenting angle on teaching kids to notice rules and incentives early. If you're looking for a fresh, research-backed perspective on how hidden rules shape who gets opportunities at work and in life, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "The goal of the book is to get people to start to recognizing these markets all around us." "In most of these markets, they play by a simple rule that we all understand, which is if you're willing to pay for the thing, then you get it." "Is the way that we're deciding who gets what... is it equitable? Is it efficient? And is it easy for market participants?" "I open my calendar and I see all these recurring meetings on my calendar, recurring meetings that were set up years or months ago. That's first in time, first in right." "If you understand the rules and develop strategies to get what you want from the market, then you actually can be one of the handful that actually gets the thing, that desirable outcome, and then it will look like you got lucky." "It's always going to be the folks who are in the market winning who are always going to think that it's fair." "Once you start thinking like, how am I actually allocating these things? That's when you've put on that market designer hat." "They'll come to you kind of with half-baked ideas because they know if they wait later on until they can fully bake the idea that the resources or the fun parts of the project might already be gone." "Part of what the Settle for Silver / Go for Gold Strategy is forcing you to do, is to think seriously about what you want and why you want it." "You, as a parent, you are designing the markets that your kids play in all the time." "We're not breaking the rules, but we are figuring out what they are so that we can put ourselves in a good position, and that's going to serve you well." "Maybe by being in the office, you are signaling your dedication to the firm that you're available for all of these opportunities." "If it's something that anybody can do, like send a quick email, right? That's, it's not actually costly. Anybody could send that email even if they're not truly dedicated and eager for the opportunity." "You cannot get all three E's for sure in any allocation mechanism. There's always going to be tradeoffs."

In this episode of Murder in the Black, we examine two intentional homicide cases connected by a deeper pattern of proximity, access, and life transition.In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 19-year-old Sade Robinson disappeared after a first date. Her dismembered remains were later discovered near Lake Michigan. Investigators arrested Maxwell Anderson, who now faces charges including first-degree intentional homicide, dismemberment of a corpse, and arson.In Seat Pleasant, Maryland, 24-year-old Lamont Adaire Jr. — a father and athlete preparing to play professional basketball in China — was shot 12 times in a coordinated attack. Franklin Scott later pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and was sentenced to 50 years.Two cities.Two lives in motion.Two acts of deliberate violence.Cases & Locations ReferencedTopics This episode explores dating violence, digital evidence, jealousy, entitlement, masculinity, and the vulnerability that can accompany major life transitions.

In today's episode, I'm talking about what happens when we choose to step closer instead of pulling away. My curiosity recently led me to consume I Take My Coffee Black by Tyler Merritt.One of his quotes totally stopped me in my tracks when I heard it: “Distance breeds suspicion, and proximity breeds empathy” (he credits Brian Lawrence). That one sentence captures SO much of what fuels misunderstanding (and what heals it).It's a whole lot harder to stay angry, judgmental, or hateful toward someone when you actually get close to them. When we get curious and learn someone's story, compassion naturally follows.Proximity doesn't mean agreement - it means empathy, grace, and humanity!In this episode, I cover:How the book I Take My Coffee Black inspired a deeper reflection for meThe powerful idea that “distance breeds suspicion, and proximity breeds empathy”How learning someone's story makes it harder to judge or stay stuck in angerA personal example of how getting curious & stepping closer changed things for the betterWhy proximity doesn't require agreement, but creates space for empathy & grace Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

The Ecosystem of Exile Politics: Why Proximity and Precarity Matter for Bhutan's Homeland Activists (Cornell UP, 2024), relays the events in Bhutan that led to the exodus of one-sixth of the population, and then recounts the activism by Bhutan's refugee diaspora that followed in response. Susan Banki asserts that activism functions like a physical ecosystem, in which hubs of activism in different locations interact to pressure the home country. For Bhutan's refugee mobilizers, physical proximity offers advantages in Nepal and India, where organizing protests, lobbying, and collecting information about government abuse in Bhutan is aided by being close to the homeland. But in an ecosystem of exile politics, proximity is both a boon and a bane. Sites proximate to Bhutan can be spaces of risk and disempowerment, and refugee activists rarely secure legal, political, and social protection. While distant diasporas in the Global North may not be in precarious situations, they cannot tap into the advantages of proximity. In examining these phenomena, The Ecosystem of Exile Politics adds to theoretical understandings of exile politics and to empirical research on Bhutan and its refugee population. Susan Banki is an Associate Professor at the University of Sydney. She studies the political, institutional, and social contexts that explain the roots of and solutions to human rights violations and social justice abuses, with a specific focus on the Asia-Pacific region.

In this episode of 'Maximize Your Hunt', host John Teater discusses various strategies for improving hunting properties through effective land management and habitat improvement with guest Mark Krawczyk (Keyline Vermont). The conversation covers the importance of understanding native and non-native plants, the benefits of agroforestry, and the significance of designing effective planting layouts. Jon and Mark emphasize the need for thoughtful planning in creating zones of use within properties to maximize their potential for wildlife and hunting success. In this conversation, the speakers delve into the intricacies of agroforestry, focusing on techniques such as coppicing and pollarding, and their benefits for land management and biodiversity. They discuss the importance of structural diversity in ecosystems and share personal insights on life philosophies related to land stewardship and sustainable practices. takeaways Maximizing hunting properties requires effective land management. Understanding the role of native and non-native plants is crucial. Agroforestry integrates trees and shrubs into agricultural practices. Designing effective planting layouts can enhance wildlife habitats. Creating zones of use helps in managing land effectively. Proximity to core zones increases stewardship capabilities. Iterative design allows for flexibility in land management. Water collection and management are key in planting designs. Black currants are a resilient crop for wildlife and humans. Access to different zones enhances interaction with the land. The layout of access ways is crucial in agroforestry systems. Coppicing and pollarding are ancient practices that enhance forest management. Beavers serve as natural forest management tools. Coppicing can improve habitat for wildlife and increase biodiversity. Pollarding allows for sustainable forage management for livestock. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How do we learn to see one another as human again in a moment shaped by fear, fragmentation, and outrage? In this episode, photographer, author, and storyteller John Noltner joins Corey Nathan as part of TP&R's ongoing Weavers series in partnership with Weave: The Social Fabric Project. John's work spans five continents and centers on a simple but demanding conviction: storytelling and art can help restore trust, dignity, and connection in a divided world. From Minneapolis in the midst of national attention to the U.S. southern border, Northern Ireland, and beyond, John reflects on what it means to bear witness without exploiting pain, to listen without trying to win, and to practice proximity rather than abstraction. The conversation explores how curiosity can disarm contempt, why relationship must precede disagreement, and what it takes to stay open to human connection without becoming numb to suffering.

Most people see parking as a necessary evil—a frustrating obstacle between you and wherever you're going. Grant Murray saw an opportunity to turn it into something cities, businesses, and consumers all benefit from.In this episode, Grant joins us to share how he built Proximity Parking, a platform that transforms parking payments into an economic development tool by connecting drivers with nearby local businesses at the exact moment they're parking.Grant traces his path from UK accounting student to Connetic Ventures intern to founder, explaining how he raised $1.5 million from Connetic, KeyHorse Capital, and strategic angels to build a product he's now rolling out across Kentucky. We dig into how he validated the idea by talking to businesses before writing a line of code, why governments are harder (but not impossible) to sell to, and how being based at Covington's SparkHaus helped him land his first city customers. With Lexington, Covington, and soon Newport live—and Louisville and Cincinnati in his sights—Grant makes the case for why staying in Kentucky has been a competitive advantage, not a compromise.Hosted by Logan JonesMiddle Tech is proudly supported by: KY Innovation → kyinnovation.com Awesome Inc → awesomeinc.org

Best States for Survival Best States for Survival (And Why It's Complicated) | Episode 584 Every few months, someone puts out a list claiming they've found the “best states for survival.” Perfect land. Perfect climate. Perfect collapse conditions. This episode starts with one of those videos and then does what those lists never do — slow down and actually think through the tradeoffs. Because there is no perfect state. There are only compromises you can live with. The Problem With “Top 9” Survival State Lists I watched a video recently that ranked nine states that would supposedly do best in a collapse scenario. The creator put in serious work — hundreds of hours of research — and a lot of it made sense. Tennessee was on the list, and I was pretty happy with where it landed. But every time I watch lists like this, I catch myself doing what most people do: looking to see if my state made the cut. That alone tells you something important. These lists hit emotionally, not practically. Even the states that rank high still have real drawbacks. And the ones that rank low often have strengths that don't show up on paper. Population Density Is a Double-Edged Sword Population density matters — a lot — but not in the simple way people think. Low population density sounds great until you realize it also means fewer services, fewer jobs, and fewer amenities. If you move somewhere extremely remote, you're trading convenience and infrastructure for isolation. On the flip side, dense cities are terrible for survival. Too many people, too much dependence, and too much competition for resources. Cities are where things unravel first when systems fail. The sweet spot is balance. Enough people to support infrastructure and community, but not so many that you're surrounded by desperation. Isolation Is Romantic — Until It Isn't A lot of people fantasize about total isolation. Alaska wilderness. Middle of nowhere. No neighbors. That sounds cool until you're honest with yourself. Most humans are not built to be true isolationists. If you were, you wouldn't be listening to this podcast — you'd already be off-grid somewhere, alone, doing your thing. Almost nobody actually wants zero people. Add a family into the equation and it matters even more. You don't get to unilaterally decide to drag everyone into extreme isolation because you're bored or having a midlife crisis. Survival planning has to account for the people you're responsible for, not just your personal fantasy. Climate: Middle Ground Wins Climate is another area where extremes hurt you. Super cold areas bring long winters, heavy snow, and logistics problems. Super hot areas make you dependent on water and cooling. Living without air conditioning in extreme heat is brutal, especially in modern homes that weren't designed for passive cooling. A temperate, middle-of-the-road climate tends to be easier to manage. Mild winters. Warm but not oppressive summers. Less strain on heating and cooling systems. This is one of the reasons Tennessee sits in a comfortable middle. We get winter, but not months of it. We get summer, but not desert-level heat. That balance matters. Tradition and Community Matter More Than Rankings One of the most overlooked factors is local culture and tradition. Areas with a history of self-reliance — gardening, canning, fixing things, helping neighbors — have a massive advantage when systems fail. But here's the catch: if you move into those areas as an outsider, you may never fully belong. Some communities take generations to accept newcomers. That doesn't make them bad — it just means you need to be realistic. If you already live in a place like that, you're ahead. If you're planning to move, understand that community can't be bought or rushed. Natural Disasters and Real Risk Assessment You also need to honestly assess natural disaster risks. Tornadoes. Hurricanes. Flooding. Wildfires. Earthquakes. Some states deal with several of these at once. Others have fewer, but none have zero — despite what some lists claim. Tennessee scores well overall, but it does sit near a major fault line and experiences minor earthquakes regularly. That's something people forget. Every location has risks. The key is understanding which risks you're accepting and preparing for them specifically. Other Factors People Ignore A few more things matter more than most lists admit: Firearm laws: Guns are tools. A state hostile to ownership is limiting one of your survival options. Nuclear risk: Proximity to major targets and prevailing winds matter. So does distance from nuclear reactors. Income reality: None of this works if you can't make a living where you move. You can't survive on ideology alone. You still need money, skills, and systems. Closing The best state for survival isn't the one that wins a YouTube ranking. It's the one where your climate, population density, income, community, and risk profile line up with your actual life. Tennessee works for me — not because it's perfect, but because it's balanced. Assess where you live. Be honest about your limits. And stop chasing fantasy maps. This is James from SurvivalPunk.com.DIY to survive.

Some will get with the program, and some will be crushed in the process. The predictable pattern they are currently running looks extremely insane. They knew people would follow the stars, so now it's an operation. Fake representation of the public while initiating chaos. The loudest denials are not from the most guilty. Organized operations were started early on. Distractions make things look foggy. Precision matters in real work. The FBI has it all. Where there is no evidence, there is no crime. Proximity to power is not insight. Alleged allies are funding subversion. Real briefings are happening elsewhere. The largest groups presents themselves as allies because it's profitable. Dismissal does not stop serious investigations. Pattern recognition shows danger. It's not Soros behind all this. Selective exposure is another of their tactics. Congress members are in the signal calls. We should run Paxton like a race horse. Let's cut some thunder and do the work. Harvard is funded by the ChiComs. ICE once protected the vulnerable. The NRO is more important. Influencers poison the truth well. It's hard, but we have to carefully listen to their plans and decipher the mindset. Then let's all pray for victory, and humanity.
