Send us Fan MailDr. Clair Thunes, PhD is an equine nutritionist and the founder of Clarity Equine Nutrition®, bringing over 35 years of hands-on experience as a horse owner to her practice. She earned her BSc (Hons) in Animal Science from Edinburgh University, her MS in Animal Science from the University of California, Davis, and her PhD in Nutrition from UC Davis in 2005. Through her consultancy, Dr. Thunes develops individualized feeding programs for a diverse range of horses — from high-performance athletes and lactating mares to seniors and horses managing complex conditions such as insulin resistance, PPID, and muscle myopathies — while also collaborating with veterinary practices and advising international feed and supplement companies. A dynamic public speaker and educator, she draws on her upbringing in England riding disciplines ranging from eventing and dressage to polo and fox hunting, making her as relatable in the saddle as she is authoritative in the lab. Her guiding philosophy — that nutrition is the foundation of a horse's overall well-being — informs every aspect of her work with individual owners, breeding farms, and Olympic-level competitors alike.Listen to the Scoop & Scale Podcast here:  https://scoopandscale.com/Dr. Clair Thunes nutrition consulting: https://clarityequine.com Sonja Ochadlik — Show Jumper & Equestrian EntrepreneurSonja Ochadlik is a show jumping rider originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico, who is now based in Ireland. Her transatlantic journey — from the American Southwest to the heart of Irish equestrian country — gives her a distinctive perspective that bridges two very different horse sport cultures. She runs Stonehall Sporthorses, a business specializing in producing young horses and sourcing and selling top-quality horses and ponies. She operates the business alongside her husband Johnathon, with a focus on equine welfare and longevity in sport. Beyond riding and trading, Sonja has become a vocal voice in the broader conversation about the future of show jumping. She is passionate about the training and welfare of horses and working towards making the sport of show jumping more inclusive. She has written for The Plaid Horse magazine on topics such as innovations in American show jumping, including updates to U.S. Pony Jumpers and proposed changes to Young Jumpers, with an emphasis on correct, safe, and welfare-driven development of both young riders and young horses. Her experience competing in Ireland is reflected in her competition record — she has been listed in Showjumping Ireland results riding horses from Stonehall's string — and she has become a regular commentator and contributor to American equestrian media, appearing multiple times on The Plaidcast with Piper Klemm. Her conversations have covered topics ranging from the differences between horse sport in Europe versus the US to equine education, pony jumpers, and horse auctions. Sonja represents a growing cohort of American riders who have relocated to Europe to immerse themselves in the deeper pipeline of quality horses and a more established competition structure, while maintaining strong ties to the U.S. market and community.theplaidhorse.comThank you so much for joining us today on the Plaidcast.

I'm breaking down what infidelity actually is, why it shows up so often in midlife, and whether it's ever justified.

During Ep. 37 of the Ask the Law Firm Seller Show, Jeremy E. Poock, Esq. addresses the following question: Why do purchasing law firms need to hire the lawyers and support staff of a selling law firm? As Poock explains, “There's really four reasons why purchasing law firms need the lawyers and support staff from a selling law firm, and it's broken down into two categories. The first two needs relate to the clients of a selling law firm, and the second two needs [relate] to the clients of a purchasing law firm.   Regarding the first category, as it relates to the clients of a selling law firm, Poock explains that the lawyers and support of a selling law firm fulfill the following 2 needs of a purchasing law firm:   1. Continue representing the clients who comprise the Book of Business that a selling law firm presents to a purchasing law firm; and   2. Facilitate the post-sale “Trust Transfer” of the clients of a selling law firm to the lawyers and support staff of the purchasing law firm.   Regarding the second category, as it relates to the clients of a purchasing law firm, Poock points out the following:   1. As today's Growing Law Firms continue to generate new clients digitally, they need talented lawyers and support staff to provide high quality legal services to those clients, which the experienced lawyers and support staff of a selling law firm can provide, often with minimal, additional training.   2. In addition to needing talented and experienced lawyers and support staff, Growing Law Firms need a stable workforce, which lawyers and support staff from a selling law firm provide because they have a similar need for stability in the form of needing to maintain a reliable, predictable, and safe job.   Taken together, purchasing law firms need the lawyers and support staff of a selling law firm to: (a) Ensure maintaining relationships with the clients of a selling law firm; and (b) Increase the talent pool at a purchasing law firm to provide top notch legal services to clients whom a purchasing firm self-originates, often via digital marketing in today's Digital Era for the legal industry.

Dealing with the Latest Financial Trend: Spending Your Kids' Inheritance Episode 388 – Financial trends come and go, but the latest, “SKI,” or Spending Kids' Inheritance, is likely to have a lasting impact. Are you prepared? There are some ways to learn how to “SKI” without getting hurt. More SML Planning Minute Podcast Episodes Transcript of Podcast Episode 388 Hello, this is Bill Rainaldi, with another edition of Security Mutual's SML Planning Minute. In today's episode, dealing with the latest financial trend: spending your kids' inheritance. Have you heard of the latest movement in personal finance? It's called “SKI,” or “Spending Kids' Inheritance.” Not surprisingly, it can create conflict across generations. It wasn't that long ago that people commonly followed the same financial plan: save money during your high earning years, spend carefully during retirement, and leave a decent inheritance for your kids so that they can live a better life than you did. But according to a recent article in Kiplinger, those plans are changing. Rather than focusing on what they'll eventually leave behind, more people are trying to spend their money while they’re still here to enjoy it. Today, new retirees are spending more on experiences, including “bucket list” travel.[1] In many ways, it's simply recognizing that your health, longevity and energy levels are going to run out someday, and maybe it's best to experience some fun while you still have the chance. And it's having an effect on the travel industry. The trend has become noticeable enough that it's “beginning to reshape how affluent travelers are spending their money on luxury travel.”[2] It's understandable why this is happening. As we've documented in previous episodes, longevity is on the rise. But there's also evidence to suggest that healthspans aren't keeping up. Healthspan can be defined as the number of years a person lives a “healthy, active, disease-free life.”[3] Research by the World Health Organization indicates that there's a growing disparity between lifespan and healthspan. The average gap between lifespan and healthspan is estimated at approximately 12.5 years in the United States, which is 13 percent higher than it was in the year 2000. In other words, over time, people are gaining extra years of life faster than they are gaining years of good health.[4] Perhaps one other reason for the upswing in SKI is that a surprising number of heirs end up wasting their inheritance. According to a recent survey by Texas Tech University and the University of Alabama, a substantial portion of heirs spend all of their inheritance in the first year. By then, a full 42 percent had seen their net worth drop back to or below what it had been before the inheritance.[5] As one of the authors wrote, “This propensity to immediately spend the entire inheritance is high. In fact, it's higher than with ANY OTHER type of financial windfall (when controlling for windfall size).” There are certainly some risks built into the SKI trend. For one thing, if you're not careful, you could easily spend your own retirement savings too quickly and be forced to adjust to a lower standard of living. And so many people underestimate the eventual cost of health care and long-term care. Also, it's easy to let small upgrades in your lifestyle add up to a much bigger problem later on, a phenomenon known as “lifestyle creep.” Kiplinger goes on to suggest some ideas for how to SKI intelligently. First, you need to set a baseline. Not for what you want to spend, but for what you want to keep. This should help maintain some peace of mind for both you and your heirs.[6] Next, they suggest doing some extra budgeting when it comes to travel. Make travel a specific factor in your overall retirement plan. The author also feels that a bucket list trip doesn't have to be to an exotic place on the other side of the world. It just has to be meaningful. In the long run, a memorable shared experience while you're living can have a greater impact than a bigger inheritance.[7] And finally, maybe you can still make some gifts to your heirs from time to time. The belief is that a smaller financial gift, at the right time, can have an oversized impact. So can bringing some of your heirs along with you on some of your trips. The memory might end up being more important than the money.[8] An important question remains, however: how to deal with SKI? There's one potential solution they fail to mention: life insurance. It's there to provide that extra cushion. If you've got enough of it, you can feel free to spend a good chunk of your kids' inheritance without much guilt. It's as if you've addressed the inheritance part prior to your retirement spending. Purchasing life insurance, and early, can be one of those instances where you really can get the best of both worlds during your working years and in retirement. And as you probably realize, the older you get, the higher life insurance premiums become. So, the sooner you start, the better. Do you have enough life insurance that your heirs will be OK if you decide to go “Skiing?” Your Security Mutual Life insurance agent can help.

In this Episode Beth Cole of Riverview Farms shares how local farms strengthen communities, preserve farmland, improve food security, and support healthier ecosystems. Drawing from her experience as a market gardener in Western North Carolina, Beth explains the value of Certified Naturally Grown certification, community-supported agriculture (CSA), farmers markets, and home gardening. She also reflects on lessons learned from Hurricane Helene, the challenges of starting a farm, and why growing food is one of the most important skills families can develop.Our Guest: Beth Cole is a market gardener in Asheville, North Carolina. At their farm they grow a variety of certified naturally grown veggies and cut flowers, are passionate about preserving farmland in the region and growing real food that nourishes the community.Key TopicsBeth ColeRiverview FarmsMarket gardeningAsparagus productionCertified Naturally Grown (CNG)Local food systemsCommunity Supported Agriculture (CSA)Farmers marketsHurricane Helene recoverySoil health and floodplain farmingGarden plant startsDirt Craft Living SoilsFood security and preparednessGrowing food in Western North CarolinaKey Questions AnsweredWhat is market gardening?Market gardening is small-scale intensive food production focused on growing a diverse mix of vegetables and flowers for local markets, restaurants, and consumers. Riverview Farms grows on roughly two acres while maintaining additional acreage for wildlife habitat, hay production, and floodplain preservation.How does asparagus grow?Asparagus is a long-term perennial crop typically started from crowns. Growers wait several years before harvesting heavily, with full production often beginning around year five. Well-maintained asparagus beds can remain productive for 15 years or longer.What is Certified Naturally Grown?Certified Naturally Grown follows standards similar to organic certification but is designed for smaller farms. The program emphasizes sustainability, biodiversity, wildlife habitat, and farmland preservation while relying on peer-to-peer farm inspections rather than third-party auditors.Why does buying from local farms matter?Purchasing from local farms helps preserve farmland, protect watersheds, support pollinators, strengthen local economies, and provide farmers with a sustainable livelihood. Local food purchases keep money circulating within the community.What is a CSA?Community Supported Agriculture allows customers to purchase a subscription to a farm's harvest. Members share both the risks and rewards of farming while providing farmers with critical early-season income.What positive lessons came from Hurricane Helene?Although the storm caused significant damage throughout the region, Beth observed that floodplain farmland acted as a natural sponge, reducing downstream impacts. In some areas, nutrient-rich sediments deposited by floodwaters improved soil quality and organic matter.Why should gardeners buy plants locally?Locally grown plant starts are better adapted to regional growing conditions and often outperform plants shipped long distances to big-box stores. Supporting local growers also strengthens the regional food economy.Why do new gardeners struggle?Gardening is a learned skill that requires time, observation, and experience. Success depends on understanding local conditions, improving soil health, and accepting mistakes as part of the learning process.Why are farmers markets important?Farmers markets provide the freshest possible produce, often harvested within 24 hours of sale. They create direct relationships between growers and consumers while supporting local agriculture.What motivates Beth's farming work?Beth is driven by concerns about chronic disease, declining food quality, and the disconnect between people and real food. She believes locally grown produce can improve both individual and community health.Episode HighlightsBeth transitioned from humanitarian work and Montana grain farming into market gardening in North Carolina.Riverview Farms shifted from primarily asparagus production to diversified vegetable and flower production.Asparagus requires patience, often taking five years before reaching full harvest potential.Certified Naturally Grown certification strengthens farmer-to-farmer learning through peer inspections.Buying local food directly supports farmland preservation, pollinator habitat, and watershed protection.Hurricane Helene highlighted the important role farms play in absorbing floodwaters and protecting communities.Local plant starts provide gardeners with healthier, more resilient plants adapted to regional conditions.Farmers markets offer unmatched freshness while building relationships between farmers and consumers.Soil quality is one of the most important investments gardeners can make.Gardening success comes from persistence, observation, and continuous learning.Calls to Action & ResourcesCertified Naturally Grownhttps://www.naturallygrown.orgRiverview Farms NCFacebook: Riverview Farms NCAppalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project (ASAP)https://asapconnections.orgDirt Craft Living Soilshttps://dirtcraftorganics.comRecommended BookGrow Great Vegetables in North Carolina — A practical guide for understanding regional growing conditions, soil, weather patterns, and crop selection.Visit www.urbanfarm.org/RiverviewFarms for the show notes on this episode, and access to our full podcast library!

Send us Fan MailHunger rarely looks like the stereotype. Sometimes it looks like a parent who works full-time but cannot make childcare and groceries fit in the same month. Sometimes it looks like grandparents raising grandchildren, a family navigating a health crisis, or someone who just lost a job and needs help for a season. Loving like Jesus means serving those who are the most vulnerable in real and tangible ways. In this episode, Bishop Wright has a conversation with Ashley and Sean Davis about the real faces of food insecurity and why a food pantry can be a lifeline without ever stripping away dignity. Their story starts with a major health issue that forced Ashley to step back from a corporate banking career and ask a hard question: what kind of work actually helps people? This discerning question led them to sell their California home, move to Cartersville, Georgia, and search for a place where they could stop feeling anonymous and start building community. That search led them to The Episcopal Church of the Ascension, where everything “felt right,” and soon after to the Red Door Food Pantry, where Ashley became executive director in 2024. They dig into the measurable impact and the human impact and how The Red Door Food Pantry grew from a ministry of Ascension into a nonprofit while continuing distributions through the church, and serving thousands of households across Bartow County and beyond. They discuss improving access through technology, mobile pantry plans, and partnerships that bring mental health support, housing resources, health services, and recovery connections right to distribution days. Listen in for the full conversation. About the Red Door Food Pantry:For decades, the food pantry was an outreach ministry of the Episcopal Church of the Ascension, and it distributed the same 8-10 items of food every week to about 30-50 people. Purchasing food at retail prices required the food pantry to use restricted funds to meet budgetary needs. Thus, the food pantry was “in the red,” with only about 10 months of operating expenses to fall back on. However, by joining the Atlanta Community Food Bank (ACFB) in 2013, the Red Door Food Pantry was able to buy food for about sixteen cents a pound– thus giving it greater buying power and by helping it attain solvency. In 2022, the Red Door Food Pantry was designated 501(c)(3) status as a public charity.

One of the main opponents of a proposed data centre on the outskirts of Ennis has accused its backer of the equivalent of "purchasing indulgences to wipe away sins". The High Court has dismissed the leave to appeal application by objectors to the controversial development, thus clearing the way for the project. Outling his decision, Mr Justice Richard Humphreys said it was "inherently implausible" to condemn the plans as non-climate consistent when the developer has pledged to purchase renewable energy to offset the energy used by the project. Ennis-based physicist Colin Doyle doesn't believe the environment is being prioritised.

Host: Lalo Solorzano, Andy Shiles Guest(s): Ashley Arnold Published: June 4, 2026 Length: Approximately 33 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Summary Trade compliance has changed dramatically, and this episode digs into why importers, exporters, executives, and compliance professionals can no longer treat it as a back-office task. Lalo Solorzano and Andy Shiles welcome Ashley Arnold, licensed customs broker, CCS, and founder of JEM Consulting, for a timely conversation on the evolving role of trade professionals in today's regulatory environment. Ashley explains how trade compliance now touches sourcing, finance, IT, logistics, purchasing, customer service, and executive strategy. With shifting tariffs, increased Customs scrutiny, ACE reporting, USMCA claims, duty mitigation opportunities, automation, and documentation challenges all demanding attention, the old “we've always done it this way” mindset is no longer enough. The discussion highlights why companies need stronger internal collaboration, better systems, proactive monitoring, and more visibility into what Customs sees in real time. For executives, this episode is a reminder that compliance teams need resources, support, and a seat at the table. For trade professionals, it is a call to stay informed, ask questions, build relationships across departments, and keep pushing for smarter processes. Main Topic / Discussion This episode focuses on the expanding role of trade compliance professionals and why companies must rethink how they support compliance, logistics, and supply chain teams. Ashley Arnold explains that compliance work is no longer limited to classification, entry review, or post-entry audits. Today's trade professionals are monitoring court cases, tariff updates, government notices, ACE reports, Customs requests, free trade agreement documentation, software workflows, and automation opportunities. The conversation also emphasizes that compliance must be involved earlier in the business process. Purchasing, sourcing, finance, IT, logistics, and leadership all need to work together to prevent problems before shipments are delayed, costs increase, or Customs issues arise. Key Takeaways • Trade compliance now belongs in strategic planning, not just operations. • Importers should have ACE access, run reports, and monitor Customs activity directly. • USMCA, duty drawback, exclusions, tariff engineering, and free trade agreement claims require strong documentation and audit readiness. • Automation and software can reduce manual work, but qualified trade professionals still need to review and validate decisions. • Compliance teams must build relationships with IT, accounting, sourcing, logistics, purchasing, and customer service. • Executives should ask whether their compliance teams have the tools, people, and cooperation they need. • The phrase “we've always done it this way” is a warning sign in today's trade environment.

In this episode, Anderson attorneys Amanda Wynalda, Esq., and Eliot Thomas, Esq., tackle eight listener questions on a wide range of tax topics. They open with a deep dive into the tax advantages of purchasing property in an Opportunity Zone, covering both the original program and the newly reinvigorated Opportunity Zone 2.0 launching January 1, 2027, including deferral periods, stepped-up basis benefits, and rural vs. urban pathways. They also explain required minimum distributions and the five-year Roth seasoning rules, the nuances of married filing separately in community property states, and strategies for reducing passive capital gains tax after a multifamily syndication sale. Amanda and Eliot break down Qualified Small Business Stock under Section 1202, including new tiered exclusion rates and documentation requirements, walk through K-1 preparation and 1065 filing for limited and general partnership structures, and cover the Accumulated Earnings Tax for C corporations. The episode wraps with guidance on claiming education expenses for new businesses, amending prior-year returns, and using C corporations as the right vehicle for startup cost deductions. Tune in for expert advice on these topics and more! Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com Highlights/Topics: [00:00] — Intro and questions [10:04] "If I'm still working for the company that sponsors my 401k when I turn 73, even if it's part time, do I need to take RMDs or required minimum distributions from that account? And once my Roth 401k is quote unquote seasoned for 5 years, if I roll it over to another Roth IRA account I have already had for 5 years, am I still able to take out the profits tax free?" - Still employed means no RMD required unless you own over 5% of the business. [13:42] "I am looking at a couple different commercial rental properties. One of them is in an opportunity zone in Florida. What are the benefits slash tax advantages of purchasing a property in an opportunity zone? Are there any downsides?" –Opportunity Zones defer capital gains tax with stepped-up basis and potential ten-year appreciation exclusion. [22:08] "My husband and I file separately. I itemize and my accountant said because I itemize, my husband must also itemize, which is worse for him as he loses out on the standard deduction. Is there any way around this? In addition, the IRS wants to know my salary on his return, which then leads to him owing tons of additional taxes. How can this be? Why would he be taxed on my income? I'm already being taxed on my income. So this year he left my salary blank on his tax return. Will this come back to bite him and incur fees? We file separately for many reasons, including me having rentals and he has child support and other things affecting his return." - Community property states require spouses to split income; no double taxation occurs. [30:32] "I was a passive investor in a multifamily unit deal. The property was sold and my CPA informed me that I have capital gains tax of 55,000 for 2025. Anything I can do to reduce this tax? If not, what could I have done differently?" - Cost segregation on existing property can create passive losses to offset the gain. [36:57] "I'm investing 250k in a software startup pre Series A. The founders say it qualifies under section 1202 as a qualified small business stock or QSBS. Let's say the stock grows 10x over the next 10 years, so my stock becomes worth 2.5 million. Ten years from now, how do I prove to the IRS that the profit should be tax free under section 1202? Do I just document it now and hope they agree when I file an 8949 when I sell? It seems like there are no assurances they'll agree and the profits, though not subject to income tax, still become part of my estate, potentially subject to estate tax. Is it just easier investing using my Roth to ensure that all future gains will be income tax free?" – Thorough documentation of C corp status and assets under $75 million proves 1202 eligibility. [48:20] "Anderson created my limited partnership and general partnership structure. My questions are which entity has to create or issue a K1 and who prepares it for me? And when preparing the 1065 tax return, who do I list as the limited partner, me or the entity?" - The limited partnership files the 1065 and issues K-1s; list yourself as the limited partner. [50:16] "I invested in education for several businesses last year. None have come to fruition yet. Is the education able to be claimed on 2025 taxes? Also I filed without any of the education being claimed. So I was wondering if I could amend my taxes at some point this year." - Amend within three years; a C corp can claim education costs as deductible startup expenses.

When I sat down with Casimir Sienkiewicz (CAZ) from CazTek, I immediately connected with his story because it reminded me so much of the journeys so many shop owners go through. What started with a Bridgeport mill in a garage has evolved over the last 22 years into a growing engineering and precision machining company tackling everything from advanced prototypes to 5-axis machining, Swiss work, automation assemblies, and aerospace and medical projects. But what really stood out to me wasn't just the equipment or the growth. It was Casimir's mindset around creativity, problem-solving, and continuously evolving as a business owner. One of the themes throughout this conversation is how closely personal growth and business growth are tied together. Casimir talked openly about the realization that he had to stop trying to personally carry every responsibility inside the company if he wanted the business to scale. Like many entrepreneurs, he built the company through grit, technical skill, and sheer determination. But eventually, that approach created bottlenecks. Bringing in strong leaders, defining core values, implementing systems, and learning to trust his team became the next phase of growth for both him and the company. We also spent a lot of time talking about the intersection of engineering and manufacturing. CazTek isn't just a machine shop. Their team works through the entire product development lifecycle, from early concepts and mechanical engineering all the way through machining, assembly, testing, and production. That end-to-end visibility gives their employees a unique sense of purpose because they get to see how the products they design and manufacture actually impact the world, whether it's medical devices, aerospace hardware, or industrial systems. This episode is packed with lessons around scaling a manufacturing business, building the right culture, implementing systems like EOS, adopting new technology, and creating an organization that can grow sustainably. Casimir brings a thoughtful and honest perspective to the conversation, and I think listeners will really relate to the challenges, mistakes, and breakthroughs he shares along the way.

Professional Failure and the HUAC AssaultAfter purchasing a story idea about a serial killer from Orson Welles, Chaplin produced Monsieur Verdoux, which became his first major professional flop in America. The film's failure coincided with a massive assault by the House Un-American Activities Committee and J. Edgar Hoover, who targeted Chaplin for his personal life and perceived radicalism. Despite FBI evidence that Chaplin was never a communist, authorities used his British citizenship and films like The Great Dictator to build a narrative of un-Americanism. This cumulative character assassination was spearheaded by columnists like Hedda Hopper, who harbored a deep personal loathing for Chaplin. Guest: Scott Eyman. (5/8)1905, RESIDENCE OF E.T.
