The Father Hoods crew spins back with a legendary throwback, this time linking up with Steve Rifkind and his sons, Alex and RyRif, for the first-ever father-sons episode! They dive deep into growing up in hip hop royalty—Steve breaks down his early days in the game and how he built bridges with Wu-Tang Clan, while Alex shares how he juggled basketball and music, inspired by his dad's grind. RyRif keeps it real about growing up with a busy, big-time dad and learning to navigate life in the spotlight. The conversation hits both heart and hustle: Steve reveals which son mirrors him and who's the calm one, Alex spills why he pivoted from hoops to running his own label, and they talk the balance between business and family. Steve keeps it authentic, sharing how he never censored music around the kids, leading to hilarious throwback moments like Alex's “Like A Pimp” memory. They also dive into relaunching Loud Music Group, RyRif's impact on the project, and how lessons flowed both ways between father and sons. Oh, and RyRif's single “Run It Up”? Funkmaster Flex already blessed it with bombs on debut. Real talk, family vibes, and hip hop legacy all in one episode.

It's Monday, December 29th, and Norm is just wondering when college athletics quietly turned into an arms race for billionaires. With championship games approaching, the sport looks less like tradition and more like open-market chaos. Players are transferring for the third and fourth time, skipping bowl games without a second thought, coaches are being fired at record speed, and the NCAA appears to be standing off to the side whistling nervously. But the real concern arrives in Lubbock. Norm walks through how a massive, perfectly legal cash infusion turned Texas Tech into an overnight powerhouse—and why that should make every college sports fan uneasy. When one billionaire can spend $20+ million on transfers alone, what happens when ten of them decide to compete? And what happens to parity, recruiting, and the very idea of college athletics when championships can simply be purchased? Then, some genuinely good news: the 25th annual Normathon delivers once again, raising more than half a million dollars for the Austin Street Center for the Homeless—proof that money can still be used the right way. One part warning, one part gratitude, and entirely on brand. Chapters00:00:00 - A New Alarm Bell for College Sports00:00:22 - A Word From Our Title Sponsor00:01:26 - College Football Has Officially Gone Off the Rails00:02:08 - The Transfer Portal: Musical Chairs With Scholarships00:03:13 - Playoff Confusion and the Toothless NCAA00:03:39 - Who's Actually in Charge Here?00:04:21 - Texas Tech's Sudden Rise (And Why It Matters)00:05:07 - $20 Million, 21 Transfers, and Instant Contender Status00:06:35 - Cody Campbell's Vision — and His Checkbook00:07:22 - Congressional Influence and the Bigger Picture00:08:27 - When Billionaires Start Buying Championships00:09:08 - This Isn't New… It's Just Getting Bigger00:09:33 - The New Recruiting War: Cash vs. Cash00:10:20 - A Quick Break for the Sponsors00:11:01 - Senile Purpura (Still Not a Great Name)00:12:16 - The Good News: Normathon 2500:12:49 - Auctions, Guests, and Community Support00:13:30 - $545,192 Raised in One Day00:14:00 - 25 Years, $10.65 Million, and Countless Lives Changed00:14:36 - Thank You, Truly00:14:58 - Closing Thoughts and See You Wednesday Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW

Renée Rinehart, co-founder of Gospel Patrons, understands the grace and surrender that generosity requires from both sides of the equation. Raised in a family shaped by missions, hospitality, and entrepreneurial generosity, Renée learned early on that generous, open-handed obedience often requires risk. As she and her husband, John, built careers in business, God invited them to ask deeper questions about purpose, wealth, and their role in the Kingdom.   That questioning led to a season of radical trust, including a 132-day journey across 22 countries where they relied on God daily for their bed and bread provision. Through uncertainty, sickness, and unexpected grace, they exercised their faith, and came to know God as their provider on a deeper and more extreme level than they ever thought possible. Along the way, Renée and John were introduced to many inspiring stories of how God has used patrons with the gift of giving throughout history for the advancement of the Gospel, and those stories became John's first book, Gospel Patrons.   The Rineharts have now carried the message of Gospel Patrons around the world, inspiring stewards of wealth to know the vitality of their role in the Kingdom, and to experience the beauty and joy of Kingdom impact from patron-proclaimer partnerships.    If you are seeking a faith-shaped vision of generosity marked by surrender, partnership, and trust, this episode is for you.   Major topics include: A journey of extreme faith The necessary partnership of gospel patrons and proclaimers  Trusting God to meet your needs so you can be radically generous Experiencing both the giving and receiving sides of a patronage partnership Generosity is more about relationship than result Inspiring patrons all over the world through story Empowering women to step into role as gospel patrons Stewarding your story of risk and generosity QUOTES TO REMEMBER “My grandparents as missionaries didn't think of themselves as poor, but they just thought of God as being abundant and they lived from that place of faith and abundance.” “It felt like God was giving back my dream, but so much bigger than I had ever imagined it.” “What can we do to discover what God's doing around the world and how people are in relationship with Him all over?” “In country after country, place after place, God opened doors and introduced us to people, and we saw how people worshiped Him throughout 22 different countries.”  “I think we so often want to see God move and we want to see miracles, but we don't want to be in a place of need and discomfort. But those are the two halves of the coin, you have to be in the place where you need a miracle before you're ready to see one.” “I came home with a totally different sense that I am loved by the God of the universe. Seeing that He could take me into my worst fears and bring good out of it and I would be okay, I was ready to surrender everything knowing that He's good, He's with us, and everything else was just details.” “God always raises up both people with a vision to see the Gospel advance and people who are going to partner deeply financially and in friendship. And it's when the Body of Christ comes together with different giftings, both patrons and proclaimers, that the Gospel advances.” “We were so captivated by this idea that business people were a vital part of the Body of Christ.” “We're making friends for eternity by sort of wildly spreading wealth around and allowing God to plant His seeds of love and goodness all over the place.” “There's risk on both sides, and faith and humility needed on both sides of the equation.” “God is raising up a tidal wave of generosity to fuel the Great Commission, and there is so much momentum happening.” “When we're really looking for God's hand, He gives us the ability to tell our stories differently.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Gospel Patrons by John Rinehart Gospel Patrons (see our interview with founder John Rinehart) IllumiNations Bible Translation Alliance (see our interview with Todd Peterson or John Chesnut) The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW 2 Corinthians 5:7 | Walk by Faith   for we walk by faith, not by sight.

Steve talks with Gary Benoit, editor-in-chief of The New American and author of Vanguard of the Americanist Cause, about a controversy out of Vermont, where a Somali flag was raised over a public school district, igniting backlash and serious questions about national identity, assimilation, and who sets the cultural tone in America's classrooms. Benoit explains why symbols matter, how local decisions can reflect broader ideological shifts, and why Americans should be paying close attention to what's happening in their schools before it spreads nationwide

The oldest of seven, Ben was raised by faithful Christian parents who not only took their family to church, but who practiced regular family worship. Yet as he came into his teen years, Ben made football his idol. Gratefully, his loved ones and mentors pushed back. Ben's father challenged his sports obsession. And other men in his life relentlessly set Jesus before him till, one day, Ben was converted as he fixed his eyes on Christ's finished work. Ben married his wife Jessa at age 19. Now a father of six, he currently serves as pastor of Immanuel Baptist Church in Springdale, Arkansas.

EP - 51 “Palm City Chucks 02” Football Preseason Speculation!Episode 51 delivers another long-form, sports-fueled hang that feels exactly like what happens when passionate fans get comfortable, caffeinated, and handed microphones. Tyler is joined once again by AJ and Kris of Palm City Chucks for a wide-ranging, opinionated, and occasionally unhinged conversation that spans college football chaos, NFL storylines, and deep fantasy football strategy, with plenty of homer takes along the way.From early College Football Playoff conversations to late-stage fantasy draft gems, this episode balances serious analysis with the kind of banter you only get from guys who have been arguing about sports together for years.Guest Panel:AJ: Straight out of Palmyra, PA, AJ somehow supports the Red Sox, Celtics, Lions, and Liverpool. His Lions fandom was born from a deep admiration for Calvin Johnson and Matthew Stafford, and Penn State football has had his full attention since college as he continues waiting on that next natty. Now living in Madison, WI and working as an engineer at Epic Systems, AJ spends his free time either watching sports, playing them, or hanging with his English Mastiff, Daisy.Kris: Born in Jersey just outside Philly, Kris is a certified ride or die Philadelphia sports fan. From the Sixers decade-long struggles to the Phillies 2008 title and two Eagles Super Bowl wins, he has lived every high and low. Raised around SEC football thanks to family allegiances, Kris proudly rides with LSU. When he is not locked into sports debates with AJ, he is spending time with friends, family, and planning the future with his fiancé Morgan.Topics Covered in Order:IntroCFB AP Poll and Penn State outlookContinuing CFB talk, Virginia Tech program and college scheduling chaosCaleb joins the studio, VT football and Washington NFL talkClelin Ferrell sidebarTerry McLaurin contract disputeFantasy Football outlookDynasty League strategy and rookie draftPotential fantasy football targets for the 2025 seasonDraft steals for 2025Tua Tagovailoa injuries and CTE discussionSteelers playoff hopes for 2025 and surrounding storylinesOther NFL headlines including the Bears and Ben JohnsonTeams poised to improve in 2025 versus teams headed for regressionTyler delivers some questionable takesHomer season outlooksDetroit Lions with AJPhiladelphia Eagles with KrisPittsburgh Steelers with TylerOutro and Palm City Chucks social plugsNew episodes of The Slanted Attic Experience drop bi weekly at 10:30 AM EST, with the occasional surprise episode when the moment calls for it.Find all episodes, socials, and more through our Linktreehttps://linktr.ee/slantedatticPalm City Chucks:Spotify: [https://open.spotify.com/show/1Qc5wAFUlH2V4RaVtkYkrE⁠Apple Podcasts: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/palm-city-chucks/id1766002300⁠Linktree: https://linktr.ee/PalmCityChucks

In this explosive episode of The Connect, Johnny sits down with Danesa White, better known as Bella Barcode — a former Oakland hustler who built a multi-million-dollar fraud and jewelry embezzlement operation before the age of 21. Raised in the heart of the Bay Area hustle, Danesa breaks down how she went from boosting clothes as a teenager to running sophisticated bank fraud, credit card approval schemes, and high-end jewelry thefts across all 50 states. At her peak, she was clearing hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, selling stolen diamonds, watches, and luxury goods to NFL players and major drug dealers — all while living a jet-set lifestyle that included Dubai, Miami, New York, and beyond. -In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Bella Barcode explains: -How early-2000s bank and credit card fraud actually worked -How jewelry stores could be forced into approving six-figure purchases -The psychology of confidence, misdirection, and playing the role -The moment everything collapsed — arrests, probation violations, and a federal case -Serving 7 years in federal prison and what women's prison is really like -Why she finally chose to tell her story — and the price that came with it Today, Danesa has turned her life around and is inspiring others through her autobiography Recidivism: Beauty Before Bars, proving that survival, accountability, and redemption are possible — even after losing everything. This is one of the most detailed breakdowns of white-collar street crime ever told on the podcast — and a powerful cautionary tale about how fast money can disappear just as quickly as it comes.

Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.In this powerful and deeply human episode, I sit down with Jillian, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at just 7 years old in 1991 — growing up in what many now call the dark ages of diabetes care.Jillian's story is layered, emotional, and incredibly insightful.

His groundbreaking double-blind RCTs show up to 82% improvement in insomnia, anxiety, depression, and overall quality of life in as little as 4–8 weeks.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Appio Hunter, whose early life as a Portuguese-speaking Mormon kid, his journey through conversion therapy, and his eventual path to love, self-acceptance, and healing make for one of the most profound LGBTQ+ Mormon Stories ever shared on this channel.Raised between Southern California and Utah by a Brazilian mother and a father with deep pioneer-era lineage, Appio knew from age four that he was different. By adolescence, he recognized he was gay –just as he was absorbing the harsh anti-gay rhetoric embedded in Mormon culture of the era. What followed was years of masking, spiritual turmoil, self-hatred, and the crushing belief that he needed to be “fixed.”Appio was eventually ushered into LDS-supported Reparative Therapy, including talk therapy, group sessions, “baseball therapy,” and even a type of 12-step program designed to eliminate same-sex attraction. This path led him all the way to the early 1990s offices of senior LDS General Authorities –including Russell M. Nelson and Henry B. Eyring –where he was held up as a "success story" of conversion therapy.Beneath the surface of being the “poster boy” for Reparative Therapy, the cost was devastating: self-loathing, loneliness, suicidal ideation, and the tragic loss of peers who didn't survive the program. Ultimately, Appio's journey brought him toward authenticity and real love.This is a story of survival, identity, love, and liberation –a must-watch for anyone navigating faith transitions, LGBTQ+ issues, or the legacy of Mormon conversion therapy.___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1.

Merry Christmas Eve, friend. Today on Pursuing God, we're tracing the journey of Jesus from the manger to the Jordan River — and what it means for your life right now. He wasn't just born to be admired in a nativity scene; He came to be followed. Born in a manger, buried in baptism, and raised to bring new life to anyone willing to say yes. As we light the final Advent candle and reflect on His birth, I want to invite you to consider the personal invitation Jesus offers: to be made new. And for some of you, that next step might be baptism. Let's talk about what it means to go all in — to identify with the One who identified with us.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside's conviction that God's grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God's presence and activity in your life.

What if your diagnosis is not a life sentence, but an invitation to rebuild your health, identity, and purpose from the ground up? Josh Trent welcomes Dr. Ryan Lazarus, Functional Medicine Practitioner, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 788, to reveal how surviving a near death experience without a pancreas shattered medical labels, reshaped his beliefs about healing, and led him to a holistic blueprint that integrates mindset, food as medicine, trauma stored in DNA, mental fitness, connection, and purpose as the true foundations of lifelong health.

What if losing half your business in a betrayal led you to make $120,000 in 60 days on a platform everyone ignores? In this episode, Anthony Simonie shares how being adopted by his grandparents literally saved his life and how that experience shaped everything from his approach to entrepreneurship to his decision to adopt both of his children, Miles and Daisy. After his nine-month-old son Miles stopped breathing and Anthony performed CPR not knowing if his son would survive, his business partner exploited that crisis by drawing up a fraudulent amendment that gave away half of Anthony's half of their seven-figure business. That betrayal could have crushed him. Instead, it led Anthony to discover LinkedIn's hidden goldmine. Within 30 days, he generated $60,000 in new business plus $60,000 in recurring revenue, for $120,000 total. He did it again the next 30 days with the exact same numbers, proving it wasn't luck but a duplicatable system. Now, having helped over 1,000 clients leverage LinkedIn to build databases of affluent prospects, land strategic partnerships, and get booked on podcasts, Anthony has turned relationship-building into a science. Anthony reveals why his five-foot-tall Italian grandmother's persistence shaped his entrepreneurial DNA, how his daughter Daisy (his niece whose parents both committed suicide within five months) is now thriving, and why Tim Tebow's words hit him like a lightning bolt: "You can be successful without having any significance."   [00:05:40] Raised by Grandparents, Saved by Adoption Adopted and raised by grandparents, literally saved Anthony's life Grandparents stepped up when they should've been enjoying retirement Both of Anthony's kids (Miles and Daisy) are adopted because adoption was a blessing for him Five-foot-tall Italian grandmother wouldn't let anyone leave without a meal, haircut, and promise to go to church [00:07:00] Learning Entrepreneurship at Craft Shows Grandmother was an artist making ceramic and wooden crafts Anthony helped her set up and break down at craft shows Watched her overcome challenges as they came She taught persistence and perseverance that stuck with him forever [00:08:00] The Pharmaceutical Sales Path Finished high school, walked onto college baseball team (paid for school for couple years) Became pharmaceutical sales rep like his stepdad, seemed like helping people Got job at Schering-Plough, did well but wasn't happy Started learning pharmaceutical goods may not be so good for us [00:10:00] The Foreclosure Cleaning Business Buddy said "We've got this little side business cleaning out foreclosed properties" At first thought "I don't think I wanna clean houses" Had moment of "I'm just done" with corporate job Started business, expanded from Missouri to Los Angeles (brother in charge), then Phoenix [00:11:00] The Dan Kennedy Event That Changed Everything Same friend took him to Dan Kennedy marketing event in St. Louis Eyes opened watching people make money helping others understand their business Friend said "Why don't we do it together, you be the face" Anthony had already turned cleaning business into real business with systems [00:11:40] First Year: Over $1 Million Partnered up, grew business in first year to over $1 million Had to learn everything: copywriting, email, webinars, buying traffic At first loved the money, but then started receiving messages from people he was helping "You saved my marriage. You helped save me from losing my home." Hundreds of them.

Kylie Frey — the princess of Texas country music — has built her career the hard way, turning early rejection from label executives into an undeniable run of success with 12 No. 1 songs on Texas country charts. Raised in a rodeo family as a middle child, Kylie’s independence, grit, and quiet confidence were forged early and still define both her personality and her sound. She never planned on becoming a mom, but motherhood sparked a profound personal and creative rebirth, adding new depth to her songwriting as she learned how to balance life on the road with a child by her side. Her latest EP, Half a Mind, features the standout single “Fort Worth” with John Randall, while she continues work on what she says is her most personal album yet — one that reflects resilience, growth, and staying true to yourself no matter how long the road takes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode Description In this powerful and deeply moving episode of The Rob Skinner Podcast, Rob sits down with Jordan and Caryn McLeod, longtime missionaries whose journey has taken them from New York City to Jerusalem, Cyprus, and back to the United States. Raised in Jewish homes, Jordan and Caryn share their personal faith journeys, how they became Christians, and what led them to leave everything behind to help plant the church in the Holy Land. They open up about cultural barriers, spiritual resistance, heartbreak, perseverance, and what it really takes to serve God in one of the most challenging mission fields in the world. This conversation goes far beyond missions—it's about marriage, parenting, generosity, resilience, and learning to make your life truly count in every season. If you've ever wondered what faith looks like when it's tested, stretched, and refined over decades, this episode will inspire and challenge you. In This Episode, You'll Hear: Jordan and Caryn's conversion stories and Jewish backgrounds What it's like to plant a church in Jerusalem from scratch Why faith in Israel requires a completely different approach The idea of "completion" rather than conversion for Jewish believers Cultural, religious, and emotional challenges of overseas missions How they stayed faithful during years of slow growth and discouragement Stories of God's provision, generosity, and miracles Raising faithful children on the mission field Transitioning from full-time missions to family-focused ministry Advice for anyone who wants to live a no-regrets life Key Scriptures Referenced: Galatians 5:6 Hebrews (faith and perseverance themes) Acts (church planting and endurance) About the Guests Jordan and Caryn McLeod served for over a decade as missionaries in Jerusalem and Cyprus. They are parents of four children, many of whom are now serving in missions around the world. Their story reflects decades of faithful service, adaptability, and deep trust in God.

In this Healthy Waves episode, Avik Chakraborty sits down with Anjuly Rudolph to cut through the noise around yoga. They unpack why yoga is not just poses or flexibility goals, and how the original purpose is mind training, nervous system regulation, and emotional balance. Anjuly breaks down what gets lost in modern “fitness-only” yoga culture, shares beginner-friendly entry points for busy people, and explains why breathwork, grounding, and proper relaxation are non negotiable if you want results that actually stick. Expect practical, at-home micro habits you can run for 7 to 14 days to feel a real shift in stress, sleep, and energy. About the Guest: Anjuly Rudolph is a transformational catalyst blending yoga, hypnosis, energy healing, and coaching. Raised with deep yogic roots in an Indian family, she has carried this work across Uganda, Burundi, Syria, Tunisia, and Germany. She also trains yoga teachers in Germany and focuses on making yoga practical, grounded, and culturally respectful. Key Takeaways: Yoga is a full system for mind and energy, not just stretching or fitness. Asanas are only one small part of yoga. The bigger goal is calming mental fluctuations. A beginner does not need flexibility. Lack of flexibility is often the reason to start gently. Simple joint movements can be a low-barrier daily practice for mobility and stress release. Breath awareness is a fast lever for shifting your nervous system state. Grounding at the start of practice helps you actually “arrive” in your body. Final relaxation matters. Skipping it breaks the system and reduces benefits. Yoga Nidra is not the same as lying down quietly. It is a structured practice. Yoga supports emotional processing even when you cannot clearly name the emotion. A practical 14-day test: 2 minutes of conscious breathing morning and night, plus joint movement before sleep.

Matthew Sutherlin didn't just struggle with addiction — he was trapped in a darkness he couldn't escape. Raised in the shadow of generational crime, prostitution, and addiction, Matthew's life spiraled into IV meth use, sexual addiction, and deep New Age deception. Searching for freedom, he tried everything — yoga, manifestation, altered states, and radical sexual liberation — but the deeper he went, the more he realized something unsettling. This wasn't just psychological.Something was controlling him.In this raw and honest conversation, Matthew shares how addiction became a doorway into spiritual oppression, how “losing inhibitions” only tightened the grip of darkness, and what it felt like to reach a place where he truly couldn't stop. What followed wasn't religion — it was a personal encounter that changed everything.In this episode, you'll hear:⇨ How generational darkness affected his life in ways he didn't understand at first⇨ Why New Age spirituality and self-mastery failed to bring freedom⇨ The moment God broke through and began restoring what was lost⇨ What real intimacy with Jesus looks like beyond church and belief⇨ And how his wife was later healed from stage-4 cancer after doctors said there was no hopeThis isn't a polished testimony. It's the story of a man who lost everything — and found the One who could actually set him free.If you've ever wondered whether darkness is real…If you've questioned whether addiction is more than habit…Or if you're searching for a God who doesn't just forgive, but delivers — this conversation matters.-------------------------✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give--------------------------✟ Recommend a guest for us here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact--------------------------✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith------------------------------------✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, or if you would like to join us as a prayer partner, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer.✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books.

Episode #453: Patrick Phongsathorn is a human rights advocate and Fortify Rights advocacy specialist working on Myanmar. Raised near London by a Thai–Irish–South African family, he pairs legal rigor with practical savvy about how ministries, courts, and donors move. After abandoning an early push toward medicine, Patrick rerouted into politics and human rights, studying at SOAS and Sciences Po's Human Rights and Humanitarian Action program. He learned by doing: Human Rights Watch work on detention and refugee children; IOM in TimorLeste's smallstate bureaucracy; UNHCR in Lebanon at the height of the Syria crisis. After settlingin Thailand, he joined Fortify Rights in 2019, built monitoring systems, and now leads advocacy while training partners to craft evidencedriven strategies. Patrick's approach is simple and demanding: investigate carefully, argue from law, and listen first. As he puts it, “the most important people that I've spoken to about Myanmar are Myanmar people.” In Myanmar he sees a twotrack mission— minimize harm now and make justice possible later— because “if you don't reconcile the injustices that people face, then they will come back.” Fortify Rights has documented a pattern of indiscriminate airstrikes on civilians and protected sites—churches, IDP camps, hospitals, schools—often rising when the junta loses ground. Patrickcalls for an arms embargo and restrictions on aviation fuel alongside individual command accountability. The red lines are nonnegotiable: “It's never right to bomb a hospital, it's never right to bomb a school, it's never right to kill civilians in times of war.” Accountability, he insists, binds all parties, including the NUG, PDFs, and ethnic forces. He is also skeptical of sham elections and “safe zones,” urging instead a real Thai asylum system and sustained international pressure through the UN and universaljurisdiction cases. He also reflects on ‘the day after' the military's anticipated defeat, noting that they must avoid victors' justice while building institutions that can fairly try atrocity crimes. And as the global order frays, he reminds that Myanmar is a test of whether law can still restrain power, reminding listeners that “even if you're not interested in international politics, international politics will be interested in you.”

Raised in a Jewish family in Long Island, Rabbi Jason Sobel shares his unexpected spiritual journey and how discovering Jesus as the Messiah brought about dramatic transformation in his life.

If you're searching for real transformation and spiritual clarity, this episode offers inspiration and practical wisdom for anyone ready to step into their own story of change.   About Rabbi Jason, Rabbi Jason Sobel grew up in a Jewish home in New Jersey.

Christian Nightmares, our favorite chronicler of evangelical Christianity's tightening grip on American politics in 2025, returns to Tell Me About Your Father for a look back at a truly frightening year in Christian Nationalism that aims to ensure that America is truly one nation under God Trump. In this episode, the anonymous editor of Christian Nightmares, who goes by “Christian”, walks us through his top 5 purveyors of Christian Nationalism this year, which feature such luminaries as pastor Joel Webbon, who matter of factly believes women don't belong in public life and shouldn't vote, much less podcast, and Eric Orwoll, whose white power organization Return to the Land is hard at work building a “fortress for the white race” in Ravenden, Arkansas. We also talk with Christian about how the year has given rise to a glut of militarized Christian branding and survivalist drag, complete with camo, tactical gear, and merch for battles that don't exist. (We know what this country needs: more gun-toting men and boys.)Then there's the growing Christian Nationalist war on “empathy.”As another gruesome grifter, pastor Josh McPherson says: “Empathy is toxic. Empathy will align you with Hell.” We try to parse why Charlie Kirk also couldn't “stand the word.” It's a world view in which care for others is a trap set by childless uggos and fat Army generals. Compassion is always a weakness, and the people who believe it wholeheartedly are right in the center of power in the US. It's not your mama's Golden Rule(book). And, as Christian explained in the interview he did with us back in 2021, he knows this world well. Raised in an evangelical church that instilled constant fear of a punitive god in its members, his work has become a living record of the fundamentalism that shaped his childhood and has since crept its way into the White House under the cloak of Russell Vought's Project 2025, curling up at Stephen Miller's feet.Rob Reiner tried to warn us, but we're not sure the country will listen until Vought takes away their porn.We are wishing you all a happy and healthy holiday break from your jobs, surrounded by the love of your chosen family, favs and friends.Yours,Erin, Elizabeth and MattThis podcast is 100% creator and reader-supported.

Belonging is not something you arrive at. It is something you build. In this episode of Walk-In Talk Media, Carl Fiadini sits down in studio with Marina Baronas, hospitality leader and author of A New Life, A New Menu: An Almanac of Belonging. Raised across Lithuania, Russia, and Azerbaijan, Marina came to the United States at nineteen without speaking English and built a life through the unseen work of hospitality. Her journey moves through kitchens, dining rooms, leadership, motherhood, burnout, and reinvention, offering an honest look at service as lived experience, not performance. Joining the conversation is Chef Carl Riding, who came up through hotels and kitchens before stepping away from the line to build Crab Island Seafood, a small, independent, chef-driven company producing elevated crab dips. Together, they explore dignity in invisible labor, identity beyond titles, redefining success without leaving hospitality, and why this industry continues to feel like home even after it takes its toll. This episode is for anyone who has carried their roots across borders, worked until they were unseen, or searched for belonging inside the hospitality industry. What to Expect From This Episode Immigration, identity, and finding belonging through hospitality The emotional cost of invisible labor and long-term burnout Front of house and back of house perspectives shaped by hotels and kitchens Redefining success without walking away from the industry Why hospitality continues to feel like home, even after reinvention Brand Partners Crab Island Seafood https://www.crabislandseafooddip.com Metro Foodservice Solutions https://www.metro.com RAK Porcelain USA https://www.rakporcelain.com/usa Pass the Honey https://www.passthehoney.com Trade Show & Event Partners New York Restaurant Show https://www.nyrestaurantshow.com California Restaurant Show https://www.californiarestaurantshow.com Florida Restaurant Show https://www.flrestaurantshow.com Pizza Tomorrow Summit https://www.pizzatomorrow.com U.S. Culinary Open (NAFEM Show) https://www.usculinaryopen.com Cause Partners We Support The Burnt Chef Project https://www.theburntchefproject.com Operation BBQ Relief https://operationbbqrelief.org Hogs for the Cause https://hogsforthecause.org Sustainable Supperclub https://www.sustainablesupperclub.org

Enjoy!

When Jacob Dean looks back on his career, the through-line isn't a straight path — it's a steady climb built on curiosity, discipline, and the courage to rethink what success should look like. Raised in Northeast Ohio in a family of educators, Jacob grew up with a traditional definition of stability: find a good job, work hard, and build a dependable life. Entrepreneurship wasn't part of the conversation. Yet over time, Jacob discovered that he was drawn to something bigger — the intersection of law, business, and strategy.After majoring in finance, Jacob chose law school at a time when the economy was uncertain and job prospects were slim. But that step opened the door to a series of defining opportunities: working in the tax department at Procter & Gamble, clerking for the U.S. Tax Court, completing an LLM at Georgetown, and gaining meaningful experience in both law firm and in-house roles. Each chapter gave him new layers of expertise — tax structure, corporate operations, nonprofit compliance, and business management.Despite the steady progression, something deeper was brewing. Jacob realized that what energized him most wasn't just the practice of law — it was understanding how businesses run, how decisions get made, and how structure shapes success. He enjoyed the legal work, but he felt most at home thinking like an operator and strategist.Then came a turning point: turning 40. Instead of seeing it as a crisis, Jacob treated it as a moment of reflection — a chance to pause long enough to ask, What do I want the next decade to look like? The answer was clear: it was time to build something of his own.With support from family and colleagues, Jacob made the leap into entrepreneurship and launched his own firm. Unlike many attorneys who see the business side as a distraction, Jacob embraces it. He believes law firms should operate like true businesses — strategic, structured, and growth-minded — rather than relying on outdated norms or reactive hiring. His combined experience in tax and corporate law gives him a unique ability to help founders avoid pitfalls and build with intention.In this episode of The Inventive Journey, Jacob shares the decisions that shaped him, the pressure he once felt to take opportunities out of fear, and the mindset shift that now guides his career. He talks openly about learning to trust himself, redefining what a “successful” legal career looks like, and why entrepreneurship still excites him every day.His advice for new founders is refreshingly simple: get good help. Whether you're forming a company, raising capital, managing risk, or planning for growth, trying to do everything alone can cost far more than it saves. Good advisors, good structure, and good decision-making create the runway that businesses need to thrive.Jacob's story isn't just about leaving a job — it's about stepping into a role he was already preparing for through every chapter of his career. It's a reminder that experience compounds, reflection matters, and it's never too late to build a business on your own terms.

I am SO excited about this episode. I got to sit down with Rian Johnson to talk about Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, and honestly? This might be my favorite conversation I've had all year. Not just because it's a blast of a film (which it absolutely is), but because Rian brought so much theological depth and personal wrestling to this project. I'm always looking for that sweet spot where great storytelling meets profound questions about faith, power, community, and what it means to be human. This film? It's the jackpot. I literally told Rian I now have an excuse to show a movie I genuinely enjoy in class and call it “movie day.” You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube The Film: Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery is now streaming on Netflix. Watch it. It's spectacular. Rian Johnson is an acclaimed writer-director best known for creating the Knives Out mystery franchise, including Knives Out (2019), Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022), and Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025). His work is characterized by genre-bending storytelling that weaves together intricate plots with deep thematic exploration. Johnson's other notable films include Brick (2005), a neo-noir set in a high school; Looper (2012), a science fiction thriller; and Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017). He also directed several critically acclaimed episodes of Breaking Bad, including the Emmy-winning “Ozymandias.” Raised in the evangelical church, Johnson draws on his formative religious experiences to explore themes of grace, moral complexity, and the tension between reason and faith in his work. He cites influences ranging from G.K. Chesterton's Father Brown mysteries to Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell's work on storytelling and myth. Known for his meticulous approach to storytelling—he still writes his screenplays longhand in notebooks—Johnson creates films that function as both wildly entertaining genre exercises and thoughtful examinations of contemporary moral and social questions. ⁠Join us at Theology Beer Camp, October 8-10, in Kansas City!⁠⁠ ⁠UPCOMING ONLINE CLASS: The Rise of the Nones⁠ One-third of Americans now claim no religious affiliation. That's 100 million people.  But here's what most church leaders get wrong: they're not all the same. Some still believe in God. Some are actively searching. Some are quietly indifferent. Some think religion is harmful.  Ryan Burge & Tony Jones have conducted the first large-scale survey of American "Nones", which reveals 4 distinct categories—each requiring a different approach. Understanding the difference could transform everything from your ministry to your own spiritual quest. ⁠Get info & join the donation-based class (including 0) here.⁠ This podcast is a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Homebrewed Christianity ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠production.

Tom and I talk about the moment I turned down a multimillion dollar cash-out offer and instead decided to raise twenty million dollars and buy control of Somewhere.com. I walk through how that deal came together, how I borrowed nine million from the founder, structured the investor tranches, and rebuilt the leadership team while still running Bolt Storage and RE Cost Seg. We get into why I believed the company could become a publicly traded business and how my media brand helped me raise over forty million for storage, somewhere and other deals. I also explain how I split my time across multiple companies, why I spend 350k a year on my personal media team, and how building a brand on X completely accelerated my career. This episode is about unreasonable ambition, calculated risk and making moves even when nobody gives you permission.
