Special Guest: Shahd  Safarani, Founder of ResMind   Welcome to Podcast Profits Unleashed, the podcast that helps coaches, consultants, and experts grow their business through podcasting, authority, and smart marketing.   In this episode, Karen Roberts sits down with Shahd  Safarani, founder of ResMind, to explore how AI is transforming books from passive credibility assets into active client-generation systems.   Most books don't fail because they're poorly written—they fail because the conversation ends when the reader reaches the final page. Shahd  explains how giving your book an AI-powered "brain" allows readers to continue learning, ask questions, receive personalised guidance, and naturally discover your coaching or consulting offers.

Pro mining investor David Erfle of JuniorMinerJunky.com explains his current gold stock strategy and the needed psychology of a successful junior mining speculator. Erfle argues his prior “buy the boredom” message still applies, describing recent weakness as a sentiment washout with the gold miner's bullish percentage index hitting zero for the first time since late 2015, alongside decade-low COMEX open interest—conditions he says can precede major bottoms. He contrasts investor interest in AI/SpaceX with miners' record profits, strong margins, improved balance sheets, and cheap valuations, noting low volumes and continued disinterest. Erfle explains his approach: accumulate during capitulation, trim during parabolic “rhino horn” moves, manage exits stock-by-stock, and focus on undervalued juniors and potential buyouts He shares his portfolio performance history and a few specific examples. 00:00 Intro 00:24 Buy the Boredom 01:41 Sentiment Hits Zero 04:20 Rhino Horns and Fishing Lines 08:09 Why Miners Look Cheap 10:37 Buy Small Undervalued Juniors 12:18 Contrarian Mindset 15:43 Portfolio and Exit Plan 20:11 Risk Management Example David's website: https://juniorminerjunky.com/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Mining Stock Education (MSE) offers informational content based on available data but it does not constitute investment, tax, or legal advice.

In this heartwarming episode of Reading With Your Kids, Jed welcomes back Pam Allyn, creator of World Read Aloud Day and co-author of Every Child a Super Reader, to celebrate the power of reading aloud. Pam and Jed reflect on how the greatest benefit of reading with kids isn't just academic success—it's the deep, lasting bond that forms between caring adults and children. Pam shares moving memories of her father reading the sports pages to her at the dinner table, even into her teen years, showing that read‑aloud time never has to end. Together, she and Jed explore how reading signals to kids, "I'm here for you. I believe in you." They discuss the importance of being authentic reading role models, understanding the basics of phonics and comprehension, and gently building kids' reading stamina so that reading feels joyful, not exhausting. In the second half of the episode, Jed is joined by Ashley Bendiksen, author of A Kids Book About Boundaries. Ashley explains how her book helps children ages 5–9 understand emotional, social, and physical boundaries in everyday situations, using clear language and practice phrases families can use together. She and Jed talk about self‑advocacy, online safety, and why early, open conversations about hard topics actually empower kids rather than frighten them. Ashley also shares her personal journey from surviving abuse to becoming a national speaker and advocate, and how writing for children allows her to equip kids—and the adults who love them—with the tools to stay safe, speak up, and know their worth.

Surprise! This week, we have a bonus episode all about what happens when your readers are upset with you. Author of Shrill, Lindy West, was a feminist sensation who became a millennial icon. But when her next memoir, Adult Braces, hit the market, it stirred up a frenzy of backlash. Articles started coming out, and West and her partners did not appreciate what was being said. Soon enough, it snowballed out of control. Mike and AJ are here to help authors who may find themselves in this situation and to show them how to respond.

Your dad texts you, "If you don't hear from me after Saturday, remember that I love you."He's not dying. He's getting a new phone.That's the tone of DAD CAN YOU NOT? (Countryman Press, Norton; 4.21.26), the new book from the internet's "unofficial Dad translator" Chip Leighton, whose viral dad content has racked up millions of views by documenting the everyday ways well-meaning fathers manage to embarrass their families and often without realizing it.Built from real stories submitted by kids, partners, and families (plus plenty from Chip himself), Dad, Can You Not? is a lovingly brutal catalog of dad behavior everyone recognizes instantly: confusing emojis, misusing slang, eating the wrong thing because "it was in a bowl," commenting on social media posts that absolutely did not need commentary, and confidently saying the wrong thing at the worst possible moment.This isn't a parenting guide. It's an anti-handbook. A how-not-to manual for dads who are trying their best-and somehow still doing too much.Structured in short, highly visual sections, the book moves through classic danger zones: texting and social media, food mishaps, school and sports events, public outings, and everyday conversations that go off the rails. Along the way, Leighton includes real texts from kids ("Dad, please stop"), quizzes that measure how "Dad" your behavior truly is, and crowd-sourced stories that prove embarrassing dad moments are a universal experience. What makes the book land isn't just the jokes, it's the recognition. Readers don't have to imagine these dads. They already know them. They live with them. They're related to them. In many cases. yes, they are them.Chip, whose first book What Time is Noon? was an instant New York Times bestseller, brings the same sharp, self-aware humor that made his online work resonate-but on the page, the jokes breathe. There's room for the kids' voices, the spouses' side-eyes, and the dads' sincere (if misguided) intentions.The result is a fast, laugh-out-loud read that works as a gift, a stress reliever, and a mirror no dad asked for. but probably needs.Because somewhere right now, a dad is replying "LOL" to very serious news. And someone is saying, once again: "Dad can you not."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Writers want opening chapters that showcase their voice, introduce an unforgettable character, and make readers desperate to continue. But a strong voice can become self-indulgent. The narrator may entertain the reader without moving the story forward, explaining too much, repeating the same joke, or delaying the moment when something actually happens. In a writing competition, where judges are actively looking for reasons to stop reading, those extra words can cost you. In this episode, Jeff Elkins coaches author Scott Williamson on the opening of his darkly funny fantasy story about Auntie Pearl, a 300-year-old witch trying to turn a corpse into tea before her aging body falls apart. They explore how to tighten an opening without stripping away its personality, create intimacy between a first-person narrator and the reader, and withhold information to build mystery and narrative promise. Jeff also explains why writers should address one reader at a time, avoid telling readers what they are thinking, and keep present-tense narrators from revealing knowledge they cannot possess. The conversation also examines how vulnerability can make a monstrous character lovable, how a child character can become an engine for change, and how dark humor can keep physical suffering entertaining rather than exhausting. Watch this episode if you're revising an opening chapter, entering a writing competition, developing an intimate first-person voice, or trying to make readers fall in love with a character who does terrible things.     www.DialogueDoctor.com

First Phosphate Corp. (CSE: PHOS | OTCQX: FRSPF) just landed a wave of international backing at the 52nd G7 Summit in Évian, France — and CEO John Passalacqua joins MSE to break down what it means for the company's mine-to-market LFP battery supply chain build-out in Quebec. This episode digs into the details of the agreements signed under the Critical Minerals Resilience and Production Alliance, including: • A letter of interest for up to CDN $275 million in guarantees from Denmark's export credit agency (EIFO) to help finance the Bégin-Lamarche mine • LOIs from Italy's SACE, CDP, and SIMEST, alongside engineering group MAIRE, to support First Phosphate's phosphoric acid plant at Port Saguenay using Ballestra technology • A definitive offtake agreement for a minimum of 200,000 tonnes per annum of phosphate concentrate from Bégin-Lamarche • A definitive offtake agreement for a minimum of 60,000 tonnes per annum of phosphoric acid from the Port Saguenay plant John explains how these deals fit into the broader G7 alliance launched by PM Carney in 2025, what each piece of financing and offtake actually de-risks for the project, where things stand on permitting and construction timelines, and why he believes First Phosphate is positioned to lead North America's push for a secure, traceable battery-grade phosphate supply chain. If you're tracking the critical minerals buildout, North American LFP battery supply chains, or First Phosphate specifically, this is a must-watch update straight from the source. 00:00 Intro 00:57 What the G7 Backing Means 02:33 Offtakes and Italy Partnership 04:19 Deal Terms Revenue and Pricing 05:27 Valuation and LFP Market Upside 08:31 Financing and Shareholder Demand 09:57 Timeline Catalysts and Execution 11:56 How the Alliance Came Together 14:07 Treasury and Capital Stack Press releases discussed: https://firstphosphate.com/first-phosphate-g7-investment-offtake-deals/ https://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/backgrounders/2026/06/17/prime-minister-carney-secures-new-partnerships-defence-and-critical https://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/statements/2026/06/17/g7-leaders-declaration-securing-supply-chains-critical-minerals https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/china-defends-critical-minerals-export-controls-after-g7-statement-2026-06-18/ Tickers: CSE: PHOS – FSE: KD0 – OTCQX: FRSPF – OTCQX-ADR: FPHOY Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Sponsor First Phosphate pays Mining Stock Education a United States dollar ten thousand per month coverage fee.

‘Fiona F' is a Hogwarts Professor subscriber in Adelaide, Australia, the truly down under capitol of the South Pacific island-continent. She works as an environmental scientist on the days she isn't combing through the Cormoran Strike novels of Rowling-Galbraith in search of answers to the over-arching mysteries of that series.The Hogwarts Professor Talking Heads duo invited her to a discussion of her potential solutions to two of the unresolved questions that have to be answered before the epilogue of Strike 10, namely, ‘What really happened in the ruled-a-suicide deaths of Leda Strike and Charlotte Campbell?' Fiona seems to have broken both cases using information dropped as asides in Hallmarked Man.The Ten Questions that guided their conversation are below with the promised links and Fiona's time-lines and comments on the Moderator Backchannel they discuss.In brief, about Leda's death Fiona notes that we learn in Strike 8 that Shanker is familiar with ‘Barnaby's, the preferred body-disposal business used by the London under-world, to include the Ricci Crime Syndicate. She connects that dot with (1) Strike's memory of making a drug delivery for Shanker to the Ricci Godfather way back in the day when the two shared a flat and (2) Shanker's near panicked warnings to Strike not to investigate the Riccis in Troubled Blood. Fiona's theory? Means, motive, and opportunity point to the possibility that Leda's heroin overdose was a Ricci ‘message' to Shanker that he had better not cross them in a drug deal. Readers have missed this possibility because Shanker loved Leda like a mother, which love unfortunately made her a perfect target for the gangsters to ‘get at' Strike's adopted brother.And Charlotte's death? Fiona, unlike much of Strike fandom, accepts the Jeffery hypothesis (see here, here, and here) that Ms Campbell-Ross did not kill herself but was murdered in a staged-suicide (a la Leda Strike, Lula Landry, Jasper Chiswell, and Kevin Pirbright). After a close reading of Hallmarked Man, Fiona realized that Dino Longcaster, whom Tara Campbell married after she had divorced Charlotte's supposed biological father, may have been, based on his fathering Rupert Fleetwood in an adulterous relationship, Milady Bezerko's real sperm-donor daddy (and at home molester). Which possible parentage would have made Charlotte and Valentine Longcaster half-siblings. Fiona theorizes from there that the baby Charlotte says was Strike's was Valentine's (a la Rupert and Decima's Lion), that Jago Ross' children might have been Valentine's, or both. Valentine, Jago, and Tara shoot to the top of the ‘Charlotte Murder' suspect list, with Sasha, Rupert, and Amelia as Tara's agents all possibilities.Fiona, Nick, and John discuss the various Rowling Golden Threads in play with each of these theories — incest, pregnancy traps, staged suicides — and how both Fiona's Ricci-Shanker and Secret Charlotte theories are textbook illustrations of Rowling misdirection while planting clues in plain sight.John and Nick are grateful to Fiona for getting up as early as she did to chat with them and for sharing her theories here with the Serious Strikers at Hogwarts Professor. Hats doffed with a bow from the waist in admiration and gratitude! The Ten Questions With Links and Notes1. Fiona, you, Nick, and I have been chatting on the moderator back channels since May and we've shared your Daddy Dino theory in which Charlotte was another Longcaster child conceived in adultery and Valentine was her incestuous lover and abuser. Nick and I discussed that idea on our ‘Incest Golden Thread' program. But none of us know who you are really and I just learned you're living in Central Australia. Tell us about Fiona, a Welsh name?, and what brought you to Serious Striker land?12 April Fiona Comments on Moderator Backchannel:In response to a post by Cheryl Rose Orrocks on 17 Feb 2026, my current theory is that Dino Longcaster is Charlotte's father and that his son, Valentine Longcaster, will be revealed as her abuser and the possible biological father of Charlotte's children. Hence the 2nd incest storyline will also involve the Langcaster family. This could be why Charlotte's mother, Tara, despised Charlotte so much.If Jago Ross is somehow linked to the matter of the DNA test involving Bijou and Strike, it may be because he had Charlotte's birth children DNA tested to confirm parentage. Maybe Jago discovers he is not the biological father and assumes Strike is, hence the reason he wants to obtain Strike's DNA results.2. Nick was telling me the other day that he has been re-reading the series and it's changed his thinking about how he would rank the books, especially in light of Hallmarked Man. I hope he'll clarify what he means by that – and that you'll share, Fiona, where Strike 8 is on your list of best to worst Strike novels and if or how it changed your thoughts about the first seven.3. By the time this conversation is posted, I hope to have put up a short summary of your Birthday Party Theory, Fiona, or else it will be the text beneath this conversation. In brief, you lay out the calendar dates after Sacha Legard's birthday party with respect to Charlotte's death. Can you tell us why you thought that party had something to do with her death and how you went about setting up the time-line?May 6 Fiona note on Moderator Backchannels:In this video, your comments regarding Rupert Fleetwood and Charlotte's murder (1:00:17) got me thinking. If Charlotte was murdered, her murderer was likely present at Sacha Legard's birthday party.After checking out several sources (books (physical copies) 7 TRG and 8 THM, Strike Fans, the Farting Faculty Lounge and Hogwarts Professor) I put together a rough timeline to assemble my thoughts.* Saturday 21 May 2016: Sacha Legard's birthday. Valentine and Cosima Longcaster are at the party. Rupert Fleetwood gatecrashes and he and Valentine have some kind of confrontation (refer THM Chapter. 36, pages 291 and 292). I presume Charlotte and Amelia would have been at the party as they are Sacha's half siblings, however I have no evidence to support this.* Friday, 27 May 2016: Strike listens to Charlotte's voicemail messages. (TRG, Chapter 55, pages 421 and 423).* Tuesday, 14 June 2016: Charlotte is arrested for assault on Landon Dormer (TRG, Chapter 59).* Thursday, 23 June 2016: Strike deletes three voicemails from Charlotte before heading up to his attic flat (Chapter 61). Charlotte Campbell dies (commits suicide?).* Friday, 23 December 2016: When Strike goes to the National Theatre to interview Sacha Legard (THM, Chapter 36, pg. 289). Sacha says he ‘was shooting a film in Mexico (Conquest?) when all this business with him [Rupert] and Dessie happened.'I'm unsure when Sacha was in Mexico (before and/or after his birthday party on 21 May 2016). If he was filming in Mexico after his birthday then he may not have been in London when Charlotte died. If filming in Mexico finished before his birthday, he would have to be on the short-list of murder suspects.As Charlotte loved tension, conflict, and rows, she may have overheard the confrontation between Rupert and Valentine. Presuming the confrontation was about DNA testing and Dino Longcaster being Rupert's biological father, maybe the DNA results also contained information about other unknown (and related) people with a similar DNA profile to Rupert and the Longcaster's (Dino, Valentine, Decima and Cosima) and Rupert threatened Valentine with this information. Valentine is scared of his father, Dino, and wouldn't want the DNA paternity information to reach Dino.If Valentine Longcaster (as possible Charlotte abuser), finds out he is the biological father of Charlotte's children and realises that Charlotte has found this out, that could be a strong motive for murder, particularly as he was appalled by the incest between Decima and Rupert.It will be interesting to see if Rupert makes an appearance in Book 9.* See Louise Freeman Davis' Strike and Ellacott Timelines at The Farting Sofa Faculty Lounge.4. Your conclusion is a mind-blower as I've written in my notes you to invite you to wake up early down under to talk about it. To skip to the Big Reveal, you think, if Charlotte was at the birthday party or learned from Cosima or Valentine about the Dino-Decima-Rupert genetic conjunction, that Valentine Longcaster has to jump to the top of the Campbell-Ross ‘assisted suicide' list. How so?5. This is fascinating theorizing, Fiona, and it highlights what Nick has said that the complexity and crowdedness of Hallmarked is a marker of Rowling crafting a “target rich” environment for Books 9 and 10 possibilities. You wrote on 4 June that what if, instead of being molested at home by Trevik, her supposed biological father, she had been abused by a schoolteacher. Why did you think that was possible and how would it color your thinking about her life and death?4 June Fiona CommentHave you considered the possibility that Leda Strike (Peggy Nancarrow) was molested by a school teacher, rather than a victim of incest. Both scenarios are obviously awful. I have been pondering this because Leda/Peggy packed up and moved so often and Cormoran and Lucy never stayed in the same school for very long.6. On 10 June you sent your magnum opus, the Leda Strike life timeline and a ‘Means Before Motive' examination of her death. Again, why bother and how did you track down the dates?7. What did the data reveal about Leda that you hadn't seen before?10 June Fiona Timeline for Leda StrikeI have been systematically going back through the Strike books using the JKR finder in an attempt to work out who killed Leda Strike.I am relying on Rowling playing fair and that the answer to the question of Leda's death and the evidence to support this has already been given to us in the books.My attempt at Leda's timeline and my murder theory are attached. There are gaps in Leda's timeline and changing dates in the books. I mostly focused on Leda's childhood, then the last few years of her life in London. I'd be interested in your thoughts.Constructing Leda's timeline was also about reaching a conclusion on whether Cormoran Strike was the product of incest. At this stage, I don't think he was. The timeline doesn't support the incest theory and I suspect Leda was away from St Mawes from when she married at 18 and left Strike Snr two weeks later until she returned to give birth to Cormoran at Truro hospital at age 20. Too many parties and gigs to go to!I'd be interested in your thoughts.Leda Strike TimelinePeggy (Leda) born in 1954.Ted and Peggy (Leda) mother died when Ted 16 and Peggy (Leda) 2.Peggy (Leda) forcible separation from Ted at the age of two.Peggy (Leda) lived with her paternal grandmother. Ted stayed with their father, Trevik.Ted leaves home for National Service (age 18?)Ted returns from National Service after Trevik dies. (age 25?) Married Joan. Peggy (Leda) (age 11?)Peggy (Leda), at age 18, escapes her paternal grandmother, and runs away with a youth who'd come to Truro with the fair. Changed her name to Leda. Ted (32 years old).Leda married youth from the fair when she was 18 years old. She had run out on her husband after only two weeks and that her sole motivation in marrying Strike Snr. (who, according to Aunt Joan, had arrived in St. Mawes with the fair) had been a new dress, and a change of name.“Leda had never stayed still long enough to present a stable target. Often her children remained in a school for mere weeks before a new enthusiasm seized her, and off they went, to a new city, a new squat, crashing on her friends' floors or, occasionally, renting. The only people who knew what was going on, and who might have contacted social services, were Ted and Joan.”1990? Leda brought Shanker (age 16), who had been stabbed, home to their squat.1991 Leda Strike met Jeff Whittaker.1992 Nick Herbert and Strike had a joint eighteenth birthday party at the Bell pub in Whitechapel.1992 Leda had fallen pregnant in Strike's eighteenth year, while he was applying for university.Leda married Jeff Whittaker in 1992.Switch born in December 1992.Leda died in 1994, (age 40?), when Lucy (age 19?) and Strike (age 20?)8. Okay, now that we have Leda's life in a mental picture, walk us through your Means Before Motive breakdown of the most likely suspects.Fiona's Theory about Leda's death: Means before motive* Means: Three Suspects1. Member(s) of Ricci family or Ricci gang member.2. Jeff Whittaker.3. Shanker.All had access to drugs.* Motive1. Unpaid drug debt (Whittaker) and Ricci's killed Leda as a warning, or2. Rival gang to Shanker's cousin's takes revenge (knowing Shanker is close to Leda) and kill Leda as a warning, or3. Drug induced murder by Whittaker.Shanker's knowledge of organised crime in London is peerless. He knows what happened, blames Whittaker, but has never said anything to Strike. (Refer Troubled Blood, chapter 27, where Strike recalls helping Shanker make a ‘delivery' in ‘92 or '93 and Shanker's reaction to Strike's recall of that).Maybe Leda was suffocated while she slept (similar to Margot Bamborough's death), then injected with heroin by her killer.* Opportunity· Jeff Whittaker (lived at squat; a drug user).· Shanker (frequently visited the squat; was close to Leda).· Member(s) of Ricci family or Ricci gang member (local drug dealers) making a delivery.9. So Shanker is both a suspect and a person of knowledge; he either did it or knew who did it? How important is Strike's memory of the Ricci drug deal delivery for Shanker in all this?10. The beauty of this theory is that it's been so well set up; who has Shanker who revered Leda on their suspect list when she revered her so – and yet it was just that relationship that would have made her so vulnerable to targeting by the Riccis if Shanker stiffed them… Hence his warning Strike off the Riccis with such care in Troubled Blood and obscuring how he knows about Barnaby is Hallmarked?John Notes 10 JuneI'm intrigued by the Ricci-Shanker connection. Shanker knows about Barnaby's and that Knowles was dispatched there; Strike sees Marco Ricci later in the story making a delivery to Barnaby's. If I'm following your notes, Shanker's panic about Strike investigating the Riccis in Troubled Blood isn't out of concern for his adopted brother but from the fear that Cormoran will learn of his relationship with the family -- and, as you speculate, that Leda was killed by them as a message to young Shanker not to cross them. Shanker testified against Whittaker to scapegoat him and perhaps because he knew the Riccis would kill him if he told the truth.* Great plot twist and one that explains the whole Knowles plot line in Hallmarked Man and the police interest in Strike's source of information; Shanker is being presented as a dangerous criminal to readers who are blind (as are Strike and Robin) to the possibility that he was the natural suspect in Leda's death because of his proximity to nihilist forces. The delivery Strike made for Shanker to Ricci and Shanker's response to Strike's memory is a critical catch in all this; well spotted!I don't think your timeline precludes either Ted being Strike's father or Trevik molesting Leda as a young woman -- or another possibility. Her birth years and years after Ted's suggests that Trevik was not her father, that her mother's death wasn't natural, and that Ted may have been Leda's father via an incestuous relationship with his mum, both victims of Trevik's abuse. Leda's adoption by her grandmother after her mother died may have been to protect her from Trevik or her simply being cast out by him. Incest is a live issue, I think, in the Cornwall household.

A recent report by 404 Media dives into the objective of SignalTrace and how it’s being marketed to law enforcement. Police, border security, and other government agencies already comprise Leonardo’s customer base, and with this technology, those clients seek to correlate footage from these cameras to phones, tablets, wearables, AirTags, and, naturally, the electronics inside cars themselves.

In the second episode of a special four-part Science of Reading: The Podcast adolescent literacy miniseries, Susan Lambert, Ed.D., speaks with Julie Burtscher Brown, Ed.D. a PreK–12 literacy facilitator. Julie talks about how she and her colleagues built a whole-school literacy initiative from the ground up, and what three years of data about it then revealed. Together, she and Susan also discuss why a few targeted, evidence-based practices (not sweeping overhauls) were what actually moved the needle for Julie's students; how content-area teachers can begin supporting literacy without reinventing their lessons; and what real, measurable change can look like at the secondary level when a whole school commits to the same practices. Show notes:Our Summer Learning Academy is back!

— Today Alexis Faere, author of Invisible Wounds, explore how honest storytelling and human connection open a path from trauma toward wholeness — the slow, tender work of moving from victim to survivor to an integrated whole person. Alexis offers practical insight on emotional responsibility, the long-term effects of violence, and the small practices that help people rebuild trust in themselves and others. This conversation centers on hope and resilience: how survivors and supporters can find language to heal, how professionals and treatment programs can use personal testimony to foster change, and how accountability matters for preventing future harm. Alexis's lived experience and years of speaking with therapeutic organizations, treatment programs, and incarcerated individuals bring clarity and compassion to difficult questions. If you're coping with past hurt, supporting someone who is, or seeking a deeper understanding of trauma's ripple effects, this episode offers compassionate guidance and honest reflection on recovery, repair, and the ways we rediscover resilience together.Valeria interviews Alexis Faere — She is the author of  "Invisible Wounds: An Inside Story." Alexis Faere is an award-winning, best-selling author who believes in the healing power of honest stories and human connection. Her memoir, Invisible Wounds, shares the true account of a life-altering moment and the long, tender work of finding one's way back to wholeness. The book has received three honors, including Gold Awards from the International Impact Book Awards and the Global Book Awards, and a Silver Award from Readers' Favorite. A retired project manager and musician, Alexis now speaks with therapeutic organizations, treatment programs, and incarcerated individuals about emotions, responsibility, and the parts of ourselves that still know how to care. Her work creates spaces where people can slow down, listen deeply, and remember that healing often begins with being seen and heard. Through storytelling and shared reflection, Alexis gently reminds us that resilience is not something we earn—it's something we rediscover together.

This is The Digital Story Podcast 1,056, June 16, 2026. Today's theme is, "Nighttime Is the Right Time for Smartphone Photography" I'm Derrick Story. Smartphones are good at a lots of things. And they are really good at night photography. And when you want to escape the hot, contrasty glare of summer days, let the evening roll in, grab your phone, and go make some stunning pictures. I'll share my favorite tips for just that on today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show. Camera. Go to Prioritize Faster Shooting and toggle it off. We want the best image quality possible. Next, learn how to turn on Night Mode Max by long-pressing the Moon icon at the top of the Camera app. This allows for a longer exposure, up to 30 seconds, depending on how steady the camera is. There is a tradeoff, however. In Night Mode the resolution is set to 12MP, even on new iPhones such as the 17 Pro. Techniques for Shooting in Night Mode Keep hands as steady as possible. Widen your stance and use two hands to grip the phone and keep them close to the body. Brace your body against a solid surface. Gently press the shutter button. Take multiple photos instead of just one. Then you can choose the best. Use the Main Camera (1X) because of fast aperture. Pro RAW + Night Mode for maximum edibility. One of the great things about nighttime photography with a smartphone is that you don't attract attention to yourself like you would using a mirrorless camera on a tripod. You can go about your business unnoticed and unbothered. Yet, you can come away with stunning shots. If you are in a situation where you feel comfortable setting up a tripod, then shooting in RAW with Night Mode Max can provide exposures up to 30 seconds with incredible detail and color. Night photography is a great way to separate your images from everyday snapshots. Whether you're exploring new territory on vacation, or just feeling like getting out in your hometown stomping grounds, these techniques will render your world in a whole different light. This Week in the News Apple's RAW Processing is Finally Evolving After a Decade and It's a Big Deal as featured on PetaPixel.com Sales of full-frame mirrorless cameras are flatlining, while compact camera sales continue to grow - what's going on? as featured on AmateurPhotographer.com 5 Lenses Nobody Gets Excited About That Produce More Photos Than Anything in Your Bag as featured on PetaPixel.com Virtual Camera Club News Workshops!

Rick Rule explains the type of ignored junior mining stock he is currently buying. Rule says recent exploration spending is yielding spectacular drill results, but the market is not fully pricing discoveries yet, creating opportunity for savvy buyers like himself; he prefers open-market buying over private placements due to weak warrant terms. Rick discusses navigating junior mining during geopolitical “black swan” volatility, emphasizing a watchlist of target companies and prices and a current bias to accumulate on expected summer weakness as juniors have been hit harder than majors. He discusses assessing CEOs' capital-raising and marketing strategies, contrasts specialist mining brokers with New York generalists, and explains focusing on the price–value gap rather than pre-market signals. Rule strongly favors at-the-market (ATM) financings for big board-listed miners, explains his PDAC “floor intel” around the G Mining/G2 Goldfields transaction, and comments on the Aurion/Agnico deal. Rick discusses trucking ore to existing mills in the Abitibi, why he generally avoids niche metals, and outlines how AI can help analyze large datasets without replacing experienced questioning. 00:00 Intro 00:41 Black Swan Buying Plan 02:22 Rotating Back to Juniors 04:47 Financing Market Reality 06:29 CEO Marketing Strategy 09:13 New York Brokers Explained 10:44 Price Versus Value Mindset 12:19 ATMs and Capital Raising 15:54 PDAC Deal Signals 19:11 G Mining and G2 Thesis 20:30 Abitibi Trucking Model 25:14 Exploration Strategy Shifts 27:42 Avoiding Niche Metals 30:20 Value Added Investor Role 32:00 Helium Speculation Story 35:08 Mexico and Carlos Slim 36:54 AI in Mining and Oil 40:49 Rule Conference Preview Rule Symposium July 6-10 in Boca Rotan, FL: https://cvent.me/XOqdLa?via=mse If you would like Rick to review your mining stock portfolio reach out to him at: https://ruleinvestmentmedia.com/ Rule Investment Media YT channel: https://www.youtube.com/@RuleInvestmentMedia Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Mining Stock Education (MSE) offers informational content based on available data but it does not constitute investment, tax, or legal advice.

TL;DRToday we open the doors. Crossroads Publishing Group—a hybrid publisher of serious nonfiction in Chattanooga—announces the Crossroads Commons, our founding membership. Three tiers; fifty lifetime Founder spots, ever.• Join the Commons → crossroadspublishing.group/commons• Publish with us → crossroadspublishing.group/engagements• The catalog → crossroadspublishing.group/catalog• Questions → chad@crossroadspublishing.groupMost small presses spend their first year trying to look like a big press. We're not doing that. A hybrid publisher of serious nonfiction, based in Chattanooga, founded this year, built around the idea that books are occasions for community—and that the press's job is to take that seriously.The Long StoryA few weeks ago I made a decision about how Crossroads Publishing Group would set itself apart: a real commitment to relationship. Then, on a mountain bike trail a few days ago, the bigger version of the idea arrived. It's not just relationship—one-on-one, editor and author. It's community. And once you see it, you can't unsee it: leadership books end at community. Recovery books end at community. Theology, parenting, loneliness, climate—trace the actual argument and the topic turns out to be the doorway in. Community is the thing itself.So I'm building the press to take that seriously, not as a marketing line, but as operating structure. Today's episode lays out the whole thing.Five structural commitments:* Every Crossroads author gets a direct-purchase URL for their community—their people buy from the press, their royalty is higher, and the relationship stays out of the algorithm.* Every book launches with an event in the author's community, wherever they live.* Every Crossroads author appears on The Difficulty.* Authors meet each other—the catalog becomes a community of minds, not a list of titles.* Readers get a structured way to belong to the press: the Crossroads Commons, open today.The Commons, three tiers:* Reader — $200/year. Every new title shipped to your door on publication day. A quarterly Circle Letter. 20% off direct orders. Your name in the colophon of every title shipped during your membership year.* Patron — $500/year. Everything above, plus a signed limited-edition hardcover each year (printed exclusively for Patrons), an invitation to the annual Crossroads gathering, private author Q&As at every launch, and 30% off.* Founder — $1,000, one time, lifetime. Limited to the first 50, ever. All Patron benefits in perpetuity, your name permanently in the colophon of every title we publish during your lifetime, and one annual meal or coffee with me. When the 50 are filled, that door closes forever.The Commons isn't a subscription to this podcast, The Difficulty stays free, always. It's membership in the press itself. And you shouldn't join from obligation or scarcity pressure. Join because the editorial direction and the community we're forming matter to you, and you want to be part of the early conversation.→ Join the Crossroads CommonsThe four doors, if you're wondering which is yours:* Authors — from a $750 Legacy Audit to the full Compile to Publish engagement (print + ebook + audiobook, six to eight months): crossroadspublishing.group/engagements* Readers — the Circle: crossroadspublishing.group/circle* Writers developing a manuscript in community — the First Draft Cohort, applications open July 13, inaugural class begins September 14.* Just want a book? — crossroadspublishing.group/catalog — William James's The Varieties of Religious Experience is in print now; Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own is next (and I'm narrating the audiobook myself)This is your moment to step in.—Chad This is a public episode.

Hello everyone! In light of the tragedies facing the world and America today, I found it timely to bring this talk to teachers. I don't believe there has ever been a time in modern history when our students need to be doing what matters most—exploring their thoughts and reflecting on the ideas, experiences, and lives of others. With the murder of George Floyd giving rise to Black Lives Matter protests across the globe, and an unprecedented pandemic changing everything about modern life, we need to become better teachers NOW. To help give us the tools to empower students in such a way, I brought on my friend Travis Crowder to discuss his approach to reading workshop, and more specifically, his use of journals as tools for student reflection. If you missed part one, check it out here.  If you've ever struggled with keeping a journal or binder neat (or useful), or wondered if there was a better way to get kids invested in their reading, this is the podcast for you.  Travis Crowder is the co-author of Sparks in the Dark, and his latest book, Reflective Readers is out now (and it is FANTASTIC.) This episode originally appeared as #167.
