Dr. Edwin C. May (physicist, former director of the U.S. Government's infamous Star Gate remote viewing program, and one of the world's leading researchers into extrasensory perception) reveals what decades of classified research actually uncovered about psychic phenomena.In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, he breaks down the science behind remote viewing and telepathy, explains why he believes these phenomena are real, and shares the remarkable evidence that convinced him as a scientist.We discuss:- The truth about the U.S. Government's Star Gate program, why it existed, and what really happened behind the scenes- Why the government became interested in telepathy and whether there was a remote viewing arms race with Russia- Astonishing statistics behind remote viewing experiments, and why many people underestimate just how accurate they were- Incredible cases of remote viewers identifying ships smuggling illegal drugs- Why Dr. May believes around 10% of the population can successfully remote view under double-blind laboratory conditions- Why no personality test, intelligence test, psychological evaluation, or health assessment ever predicted who would become a successful remote viewer- How new remote viewers were discovered and tested using rigorous scientific protocols- Biggest divide within today's remote viewing community, and why he disagrees with many modern training methods- Why remote viewers can't simply predict lottery numbers- Which types of information are easiest and hardest to perceive through remote viewing- Who tends to become the best remote viewers and whether meditation actually improves performance- His take on Lisa Kudrow's surprising remote viewing experienceDr. May also explains the physics he believes may underlie psi phenomena, including:- His scientific model for how telepathy and remote viewing could work- Why these models are scientifically testable, not just philosophical speculation- How entropy may play a critical role in extrasensory perception- What detecting entropy shifts could tell us about accessing psi information- Why an unusually high number of elite remote viewers experience synesthesia, and what that might reveal about the brainWe also explore the bigger questions surrounding consciousness and reality:- Why so many scientists remain opposed to studying remote viewing- Why Dr. May actually prefers skeptics over believers- Why he still considers himself a materialist despite spending his career researching paranormal phenomena- How he reconciles precognition with a materialist worldview- Why he does not believe consciousness survives bodily death- What removing mysticism from Western religion may have cost our understanding of extraordinary human experiencesWhether you're skeptical, curious, or already fascinated by consciousness research, this is one of the deepest conversations you'll hear on the science, history, and controversy surrounding remote viewing, telepathy, precognition, and the limits of human perception!Kava Haven: All the Buzz, None of the Booze — get 15% off your first order at http://kavahaven.com/breakerUse code BREAKER at https://jonesroadbeauty.com to get a Free Gift with your first purchase!Real movement.

You've Got One Job: Stay Connected to Jesus There are a thousand things competing for your attention every day. Your career. Your marriage. Your kids. Your health. Your finances. Your goals. Your phone. Even your ministry. But according to Jesus, there's one thing you absolutely cannot neglect: Your connection with him. In John 15, Jesus gives one of the simplest and most powerful pictures of the Christian life: "I am the vine; you are the branches." In this episode of the Rob Skinner Podcast, Rob explores why successful people can be especially vulnerable to spiritual self-reliance, why God sometimes prunes the people he loves, and how someone can look spiritually alive on the outside while slowly drying up inside. And it all comes down to one simple phrase: You've got one job: remain. Are You Plugged In? Rob rents out his former home in Tucson, Arizona. Every so often, a guest sends him a message: "The hot tub isn't working." "The jets won't turn on." "It's not getting hot." "We've pushed every button." Rob usually responds with one question: "Is it plugged in?" A few minutes of silence. Then: "Never mind." Nothing was wrong with the hot tub. Nothing was wrong with the heater. Nothing was wrong with the jets. It simply wasn't connected to its source of power. And that can describe our spiritual lives. We push buttons. We try harder. Work more. Make more money. Improve our marriages. Fix our kids. Grow our ministries. Accomplish another goal. But Jesus asks a more fundamental question: Are you connected to me? You can be incredibly busy and spiritually disconnected. You can even be busy doing things for Jesus while becoming disconnected from Jesus. 1. Let the Gardener Prune You Jesus says: "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener." — John 15:1 Then he says something surprising: Every branch that bears fruit, God prunes so that it can become even more fruitful. God prunes fruitful people. We sometimes assume that if we're following God, everything should start going our way. Jesus says otherwise. Sometimes following God means getting cut. A door closes. A relationship doesn't work out. Something you desperately wanted doesn't happen. God's Word exposes pride, selfishness, greed, impurity or your need for control. But there's a huge difference between destruction and pruning. Destruction has no future in mind. Pruning is all about the future. Instead of immediately asking, "What's gone wrong?" try asking: "God, what are you trying to cut out of me?" And: "What are you trying to grow in me?" Don't waste your pruning. Let the Gardener work. 2. You've Got One Job: Remain This is the heart of John 15. Jesus repeatedly says: Remain. Stay connected. Stay close. Make your home in me. Don't drift away. A branch doesn't wake up thinking: "How am I going to manufacture grapes today?" It doesn't hustle. It doesn't compare itself with the branch next to it. It doesn't create a five-step productivity plan. It remains connected to the vine. Life flows from the vine into the branch. Eventually, fruit appears. Sometimes we make Christianity far more complicated than Jesus did: Try harder. Do more. Be better. Achieve more. Jesus says: Remain in me. Christianity isn't merely believing facts about Jesus. It's Christ living in you and through you. It's dependence. Relationship. Connection. You Can Look Alive While Drying Up Inside Here's the sobering part. When you cut a branch off a tree, it doesn't immediately look dead. For a while, the leaves remain green. Put it beside a connected branch and you may not even see a difference. But something fundamental has already happened. It has been disconnected from its source of life. The same thing can happen spiritually. You can still: Go to church. Sing the songs. Know your Bible. Lead a small group. Preach sermons. Have decades of Christian experience. You can look green on the outside while slowly drying up inside. Jesus isn't asking: "Were you connected to me once?" He's asking: "Are you remaining in me now?" Don't live off your baptism. Don't live off what you did ten years ago. Don't live off last year's faith. Ask: How is my relationship with Jesus today? 3. Connected People Bear Fruit Jesus says: "If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit." Notice the order. Jesus doesn't say: "Produce enough fruit, then I'll accept you." He says: Remain—and fruit will come. Connection comes before production. Roots come before fruit. What does that fruit look like? Changed character. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Repentance. Real connection produces real change. Obedience. Jesus changes how we handle our marriages, money, time, sexuality, forgiveness, service and gifts. And finally: Spiritual impact. Fruit reproduces. Spiritually fruitful people help other people find Jesus. We share our faith. Love people. Serve. Study the Bible with people. Help people become disciples. Multiply disciples, leaders and churches. And ultimately, the fruit points back to the vine. It isn't: "Look how impressive I am." It's: "Look what God can do." So, Are You Plugged In? Your marriage matters. Your family matters. Your career matters. Your finances matter. Your health matters. Your ministry matters. Your goals matter. But there's one thing you cannot neglect: Your connection with Jesus. So ask yourself: Am I plugged in? Remember the three lessons of John 15: 1. Let the Gardener prune you. 2. You've got one job: remain. 3. Connected people bear fruit. When you're successful—remain. When you're struggling—remain. When God is pruning you—remain. When life gets busy—remain. When you're discouraged—remain. When everything is going wonderfully—remain. The branch has one job. Remain. And Jesus promises: "If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit." Make this life count.

When danger unfolds, why didn't someone step in? This episode explores why kids may freeze, follow the crowd, or stay silent—and how parents can prepare them to respond. Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge uses Regulation First Parenting™ to help families understand emotional dysregulation and build practical skills.When your child is faced with a dangerous situation, would they know what to do—or freeze because everyone else stayed silent? The question behind “Why didn't someone step in?” is difficult, but it gives parents an important opportunity to prepare kids before they ever face a high-pressure moment.Why didn't anyone step in when someone was in danger?The Cornell situation raises a bigger parenting question: What would your child do if a friend were in danger and nobody else acted?Knowing right from wrong is only the beginning. Kids also need practice recognizing risk, handling peer pressure, and taking action when something feels wrong.Teach kids that other people being present does not mean help is coming.Encourage them to check on someone rather than assume another person will.Help them identify a trusted adult or person they can contact for help.Practice simple phrases such as “Stop. This isn't okay,” or “I'm getting help.”Your child does not have to become the person who confronts everyone. They need to know how to get help safely.How can parents teach kids to speak up when their friends are doing something wrong?Peer pressure can make doing the right thing feel incredibly uncomfortable. Kids may worry about being judged, excluded, or turning against their friends.Parents cannot simply lecture kids to “do the right thing.” They need to practice discomfort before they encounter it.Ask: “What would make it hard for you to speak up?”Role-play ways to leave an unsafe situation.Practice checking on someone who may be in danger.Teach kids they can recruit another person instead of acting alone.Give them permission to disagree respectfully.Real-life example: A child might practice saying, “I need to go to the bathroom,” leaving the situation, and contacting an adult rather than confronting a group directly.Want to stay calm when your child pushes every button?Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP and get the FREE Regulation Rescue Kit—your step-by-step guide to stop oppositional behaviors without yelling or giving in.Go to www.drroseann.com/newsletter and grab your kit today.How does nervous system regulation affect a child's ability to respond in danger?When the nervous system becomes overwhelmed, the brain can move into fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. That means a child may care deeply about what is happening and still struggle to act.A freeze response is not consent, agreement, or a character flaw. It is a nervous system response. Regulation can support clearer thinking and help kids access the skills they have practiced.

In this episode, Dr. Killeen uses an endurance racing lesson to explore why trying to change everything at once rarely works. You can start fast with a new system or idea, but if you burn through your energy and your team cannot sustain it, the change usually fades back to the way things were. Real change happens through repetition and patience. Instead of introducing five new systems at once, pick the most important one and commit to it for 30 days. Once it becomes a habit, build on it with the next one. Slow progress may not feel exciting at first, but over time those small changes compound into a stronger, more sustainable practice.

Titans on Tomorrow Ep. 4 with guest Clay Travis In January 2011, Clay Travis turned his phone back on after a meeting and learned his employer no longer existed. He had a three-year-old, a baby, and a $45,000-a-year radio job. Six months later, he launched OutKick from a hotel room as a one-man band, writing every article and selling every ad. Ten years later, Fox bought it for a reported $100 million. Now he's launching a new sports media empire, in the age of AI. In Episode 4 of Titans on Tomorrow, Ben Shapiro sits down with Clay Travis, founder of OutKick, co-host of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show on more than 550 stations nationwide, and founder of the brand-new Sport & State, for a look at building a media business designed to win.

Wellness has become a full-time job. Cold plunges. Red light panels. Supplements. Glucose monitors. Smart rings. Watches. New powders, protocols, influencers, and optimization trends arriving every week. With so much information coming from every direction, getting healthy can start to feel so complicated that people become overwhelmed before they even begin. In this solo episode of the SuperLife Podcast, Darin strips wellness back to the five fundamentals he believes do the most work: sleep, light, movement, real food, and human connection. After decades studying exercise physiology, nutrition, kinesiology, movement, superfoods, and longevity cultures around the world, Darin says his own approach to health has become simpler than ever. The message is simple: supplements, wearables, and biohacking tools can have value, but they aren't the foundation. They're the paint and furniture. Sleep, light, movement, food, and connection are the foundation holding the house up. Darin walks through the research behind each fundamental and, more importantly, gives you something practical you can begin doing tomorrow. From consistent sleep and morning sunlight to one-minute movement bursts, eating recognizable whole foods, and spending actual face-to-face time with people you love, this episode is a recalibration for anyone drowning in wellness advice. You don't need to optimize everything. Start by getting the basics right. What You'll Learn Why wellness has become unnecessarily complicated and anxiety-inducing The five fundamentals Darin believes matter most for long-term health Why sleep consistency may matter as much as how many hours you get How bright days and dark nights help support your body's natural rhythms Why you don't need a gym to meaningfully increase daily movement How small bursts of vigorous activity can add up throughout the day Why ultra-processed food can make it easier to consume more without realizing it How adding more whole plants can naturally crowd out less nutritious foods Why human connection belongs alongside sleep, movement, and nutrition Five simple actions you can begin tomorrow without buying another health gadget The 5 Fundamentals 1. Sleep Darin's first principle is simple: be boring with your sleep. He discusses research suggesting that sleep regularity is meaningfully associated with health outcomes and explains why maintaining a consistent wake time can help reinforce the body's circadian rhythm. SuperLife Upgrade: Pick one wake time and keep it seven days a week. Make your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet, limit late caffeine and large meals, and reduce unnecessary technology around your sleep environment. 2. Light Your biology evolved around bright days and dark nights, but modern life has largely reversed that relationship. Darin discusses research connecting daytime and nighttime light exposure with mental health outcomes and explains why getting outdoors early in the day is one of his foundational practices. SuperLife Upgrade: Get outside within the first hour after waking. Take your morning coffee or tea outside, walk the dog, or simply spend a few minutes under the morning sky before checking your messages. 3. Movement You don't need a perfect workout program to start moving more. Darin discusses research on short bursts of vigorous activity and explains why walking, carrying, climbing, squatting, stretching, and occasionally breathing hard can all be incorporated into normal life. SuperLife Upgrade: Think in terms of "exercise snacks." Take the stairs, walk after eating, stand up regularly, carry something heavy, play hard with your kids or dog, or find a few moments throughout the day to deliberately move. 4. Real Food Darin breaks down research comparing ultra-processed and minimally processed diets and explains why his nutrition philosophy keeps returning to a straightforward principle: eat food your great-grandmother would recognize. SuperLife Upgrade: Make real, minimally processed food the majority of what you eat. Add more vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, seeds, herbs, and spices, aim for greater plant diversity, and slow down while eating. 5. Connection The final fundamental may be one of the most overlooked. Darin discusses research linking strong social relationships with longevity and argues that human beings can optimize their food, sleep, and training while still being starved for genuine connection.

There's always another powder, gadget, supplement, wearable, protocol, or person online telling you that you're doing everything wrong. But none of those things can replace the foundation. Sleep. Light. Movement. Real food. Connection. That's the house. Everything else is paint and furniture. If your foundation is cracked, the most expensive optimization in the world isn't going to hold you up. So before you buy another gadget or chase another trend, come back to what your biology has always needed. Sleep consistently. Get outside. Move your body. Eat real food. Spend time with people you love. Health doesn't have to become another full-time job. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is return to the basics." Bibliography/Sources: 1. Sleep Windred, D.

Tomasz (Tomek) Kowalski is a triathlon coach with a great track record of athletes racing Kona, among them age-group world champions and podium finishers. With the IRONMAN World Championship coming up again in Kona we cover everything age-group triathletes need to know to have a successful race there, including when to fly out, training and tapering on the island, heat preparation at home, equipment choices, and pacing, fuelling and hydration on race day.HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS:The single most common reason a Kona race goes wrong for age-groupers, and roughly how much of the damage it accounts for.When to fly out: the time-zone rule of thumb, the trade-off between arriving early and arriving fresh, and whether you need to fully adapt to Hawaiian time at all.Training on the island: how much lower your watts and paces can be at the same RPE, how long the last long ride and run should be, and whether to keep touching threshold in the final three weeks.Swimming in the last ten days: open water or pool, how to structure an open water session with no buoys to swim between, and how to use the Hoʻala training swim.Heat preparation before you travel: a hot water immersion protocol with durations and water temperature, and why using a CORE temperature sensor or sweat testing gets less weight than you might expect.Kit for the heat: aero or road helmet, visor or no visor, three headwear options for the run, and whether to change from trisuit to running kit in T2.Pacing the swim, bike and run: how many watts to expect to give up compared with a cooler Ironman, and how the impact of the rollers changes depending on how strong a cyclist you are.Fuelling and hydration in the heat: the body mass loss on the bike that puts your run at risk, and how easily caffeine intake creeps too high.SHOWNOTES, LINKS, RESOURCES AND RELATED EPISODES:That Triathlon Show Community on ROUVYThat Triatlon Show Group Ride on ROUVY - 5 October, 18:00 CET (12pm ET, 9am PT), 25 km / 15.5 miles on the Kona bike course.

How should a business measure AI success when employee adoption tells leaders very little about revenue, savings, risk, or better decisions? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Thomas Robinson, better known as T-Rob, who recently moved from Chief Operating Officer to CEO of Domino Data Lab. After ten years inside the company, he has seen enterprise AI move through several phases, from specialist data science projects to generative AI tools available across the workforce. T-Rob argues that businesses have become too focused on the technology itself. Generative AI has attracted attention because almost anyone can use it, but an individual productivity tool is very different from an AI system making decisions about mortgages, clinical trials, financial markets, or defense operations. As the potential value of a decision rises, so does the financial, regulatory, and operational risk. That is why T-Rob believes governance should be built alongside AI development rather than added after a system has been completed. He compares the process with constructing a building. Engineers do not wait until the work is finished before checking whether it has been designed and assembled correctly. Reviews happen throughout construction. Domino applies the same principle to AI through policy controls, production monitoring, tracing, and continued human oversight. We also discuss why companies should avoid beginning with a fashionable tool and searching for somewhere to use it. T-Rob recommends starting with the company's primary business measures and working backward. A pharmaceutical business may examine the number of promising therapies entering its pipeline, revenue, and risk. The appropriate AI system can then be designed around those outcomes. That system may combine large language models with computer vision, statistical models, rules, and company data. T-Rob believes the assumption that every business problem requires the latest frontier model can waste money and produce weaker results. People remain a major part of the equation. T-Rob has seen companies reduce headcount in anticipation of AI replacing employees before the technology was ready. He argues that domain experts become more valuable because they understand the business history, operating environment, exceptions, and consequences that a model may miss. The conversation also considers model independence and AI sovereignty. Many enterprises became dependent on a single cloud provider by building their own technology on proprietary services. T-Rob believes businesses should avoid repeating that decision with AI models. Open systems can allow companies to replace models as prices, capabilities, regulations, and operational needs change. For organizations handling sensitive intellectual property, sovereignty also raises questions about what information leaves the business when employees prompt external models. T-Rob describes the risk of enterprise knowledge being absorbed into future model development, even when information has been anonymized. Perhaps his strongest argument concerns measurement. He calls consumption and adoption terrible measures of success because they mainly reveal cost. Giving every employee an AI tool does not mean the entire company becomes proportionally more productive. Real return comes from improving the business processes that generate revenue, reduce expense, control risk, or support better decisions. Are businesses ready to stop measuring AI by logins and start measuring what it changes inside the company? Listen to the episode and share your thoughts.

Paul asks the Galatians a question that cuts right to the point: you were running a good race — who cut in on you? Something stopped you. An obstacle, an offense, a person, a setback. And instead of running through it, you stopped. Freedom isn't free because it requires you to keep running — not perfectly, not without fear, but without quitting. Whether it's a marriage that's hard, a sobriety streak that matters, a faith that's gone dry, or a season of parenting that's exhausted you — the instruction is the same: don't stop.Freedom also requires discernment, because people constantly try to take it. Spiritually, the most common version is someone arguing that you're not committed enough, devoted enough, or following the right doctrinal line. Strip all of that down and it's always the same thing — complicating what Paul keeps insisting is simple: faith expressing itself through love.But the deepest thief of freedom isn't other people cutting in on you. It's what you tell yourself. C.S. Lewis made a distinction that matters enormously: there is all the difference in the world between forgiving and excusing. Excusing says there were circumstances, you couldn't help it, you weren't really to blame. Forgiving says — yes, that was wrong. All the way wrong. And I will never hold it against you. Real forgiveness from God is always available. But you have to actually ask for it — not manage it, not explain it, not minimize it. Ask for it.Support the mission of the Salty Pastor ministry!

What has "cut in on" your race — stopped your forward momentum in faith, marriage, sobriety, or growth? Are you still stopped, or running again?2. C.S. Lewis distinguishes between forgiving and excusing. Have you been asking God for forgiveness or for excuses? What's the difference in how that actually feels?3. What's the story you tell yourself — the narrative in your head — that most consistently steals your freedom? How would it change if you actually believed you were fully forgiven?

Everyone is talking about building a village right now. It's on social media, in parenting forums, in wellness content, in the conversations we have when we're exhausted and lonely and wondering why support feels so hard to find.But how many of us have actually experienced a REAL village?

He also spent years living and working in Uganda, including in rural village communities where the pace, expectations, and social fabric look very different from the way many of us live in the U.S.In this episode, Tom and I talk about what it felt like to enter a 350-person Ugandan village as an outsider, how learning to greet people in the local language became a bridge, and why “going first” is often the only way into connection.We also talk about time, uncertainty, social trust, Ring doorbells, random conversations, Seattle sidewalks, Mexican fishermen, and what it means to put your phone away long enough to notice the person standing in front of you.In this episode you'll hear about:How being visibly different forced Tom to practice vulnerability, humility, and going first over and over againWhat living in a 350-person village taught Tom about presence, schedules, and the way we prioritize tasks vs. peopleWhy the interruptions we avoid might be the exact moments that make life feel more connectedWhat the “Seattle Freeze” has to do with social trust, small risks, and choosing to smile at strangers anywayWhy fumbling through a new language in a Ugandan village is not that different from trying to make friends at a gymResources & LinksCheck out Tom's book, The Lost Art of Random Conversations and learn more about him on his website.Like what you hear?

Word of mouth has long been one of marketing's most powerful tools, but marketers still struggle to understand what makes it effective. On this episode, we talk with Koen Pauwels, Professor of Marketing at Northeastern University and Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Research in Marketing (IJRM), about how word of mouth has changed from the early days of social media to the age of influencers and generative AI. Pauwels' research offers several important lessons for marketers: Word of mouth can dramatically outperform paid marketing.  Not all word of mouth is equal.  Influencer marketing depends on the objective.  Online conversations are not necessarily representative.  Real buzz travels.  Generative AI makes third-party credibility even more important.  The takeaway for CMOs: word of mouth is too valuable to ignore, but too complicated to measure with a single social listening dashboard. Brands should cultivate genuine advocacy, understand what they are paying influencers to accomplish, and connect those investments to measurable business outcomes.

THE EMN DAILY NEWS | Thursday, 1 October 2026The OverviewFlood watches across Texas and Oklahoma; FY27 starts on a CRFlood watches cover southern Oklahoma and much of north and central Texas today as the remnants of Hurricane Polo move across the region, with flash flood warnings overnight around Wichita Falls and a watch running through Friday evening over the Hill Country counties still in Public Assistance recovery from the July floods. Fiscal year 2027 opens on a continuing resolution that runs through December 11, holding agencies at fiscal 2026 levels and permitting up to $26.37 billion for the Disaster Relief Fund. The national preparedness level holds at 2 with 58 incidents and 4,826 personnel, down 574 in a day, with no new large fires. Year-to-date fire counts were adjusted sharply upward to 62,218, moving the season from 124 to 134 percent of the ten-year average. Dome in Yosemite National Park reached 39 percent contained as a second California team mobilizes. For great insight from leading emergency managment professionals, visit EM Network on Substack. KEY TAKEAWAYSOklahoma and north Texas: The Norman forecast office holds a flood watch until 1 p.m. today for 25 Oklahoma counties and five northern Texas counties, with 2 to 4 inches likely and local amounts to 6 inches. Flash flood warnings ran overnight for Wichita Falls, Burkburnett, Iowa Park and Sheppard Air Force Base after 1 to 3 inches fell in short order.Central Texas: The Fort Worth office carries a flood watch through Friday morning across north central Texas, including Dallas, Denton, Collin and McLennan counties, with 2 to 3 inches widespread and localized totals to 5 inches. The Austin and San Antonio office holds a watch until 7 p.m. Friday for Hill Country counties including Kerr, Bandera, Uvalde, Real, Edwards, Gillespie and Kendall, all of which carry open Public Assistance from the July declaration.Fiscal year: Agencies begin fiscal 2027 under the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, signed September 2, which funds the government through December 11 at prior-year levels. The measure permits up to $26.37 billion for the Disaster Relief Fund, with obligations charged against fiscal 2027 appropriations rather than treated as supplemental. Under a continuing resolution, agencies cannot start programs, projects or activities that were not already funded and active, which constrains new grant starts until a full-year bill passes.Get ready, Long Beach! Join emergency management professionals from across the country and around the world for the IAEM 74th Annual Conference & EMEX, November 9-11, 2026, and experience three incredible days of big ideas, new connections, innovation, and the people shaping the future of emergency management. We'll see you in Long Beach!Wildfire posture: Preparedness Level 2 with 58 incidents, 14 uncontained large fires, 1,641,606 acres and 4,826 personnel, a drop of 574, per the Wednesday situation report. Initial attack was light, with 91 fires and no new large incidents; one large fire was contained, and five complex teams were committed. The Northwest, Northern California and Southern Area each released more than 220 people in a single operational period.Reporting adjustment: Year-to-date fires rose from 57,521 to 62,218 in one reporting cycle, almost entirely in the Southern Area, which moved from 28,661 to 33,302. That shifts the season from 124 to 134 percent of the ten-year average for fire counts. The situation report attributes such changes to mapping or reporting adjustments rather than new activity, and a similar acreage swing last week reversed within days.California: Dome in Yosemite National Park grew 151 acres to 5,410 and jumped to 39 percent contained, up from 31, with 932 personnel and California Team 4 mobilizing. Costs stand at $24 million. Plaskett on the Los Padres National Forest is fully contained, and Timber holds at 88 percent with numerous structures still threatened.Northwest: Eight uncontained large fires and 2,186 personnel, down 239. Command on Little Giant transfers from Northwest Team 13 to Northwest Team 12 today, with the fire at 93 percent contained and structures still threatened. Sisi near Stehekin nearly doubled containment to 29 percent, with residences threatened.Recovery calendar: SBA physical damage deadlines for the September 1 public assistance declarations close November 1 in Colorado and South Dakota and November 2 in Missouri and Texas, with economic injury applications open to June 1, 2027. Texas recently added Grimes, Live Oak, McMullen and Schleicher counties for Public Assistance, and its Individual Assistance request covering 30 counties remains pending.Fire weather: Breezy northerly winds in the Sacramento Valley and southern California ease this morning, but relative humidity of 10 to 15 percent persists with above-normal temperatures. In the southern Plains, breezy south winds of 10 to 18 miles per hour and minimum humidity of 25 to 35 percent create locally elevated conditions.SOURCESTexas and Oklahoma floodingNWS Norman: Flood Watch for 25 Oklahoma counties and five northern Texas counties, issued Oct 1 at 1:41 a.m. CDT until 1 p.m. CDThttps://govonestop.com/nws/oklahoma-texas-severe-flood-watch-effective-09302026-2341NWS Norman: Flash Flood Warning for Wichita County, Texas, issued Oct 1 at 2:57 a.m. CDThttps://govonestop.com/nws/texas-severe-flash-flood-warning-effective-10012026-0057NWS Norman: Flash Flood Warning for southeastern Archer and southern Clay counties, issued Oct 1 at 1:45 a.m. CDThttps://www.defconlevel.com/alert/2026-10-01-nws-noaa-weather-flash-flood-warning-issued-october-1-at-1-45am-cdt-until-october-1-at-4-45am-cdt-by-nws-norman-okNWS Fort Worth: Flood Watch through Friday morning for north central Texas, issued Sept 30 at 2:26 p.m. CDThttps://govonestop.com/nws/texas-severe-flood-watch-effective-09302026-1226NWS Austin/San Antonio: Flood Watch until 7 p.m. Oct 2 for Hill Country counties, issued Sept 30 at 9:52 p.m. CDThttps://govonestop.com/nws/texas-severe-flood-watch-effective-09302026-1952Federal fundingWhite House: H.R. 6500, Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2027, signed Sept 2, funding agencies through Dec 11https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/2026/09/congressional-bill-h-r-6500-signed-into-law/Congressional Research Service summary via Legis1: $26.37 billion permitted for the Disaster Relief Fund under the continuing resolutionhttps://legis1.com/news/fy2027-continuing-resolution-funds-agenciesOffice of the Texas Governor: four additional counties approved for Public Assistance, Individual Assistance request pendinghttps://gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-announces-approval-of-federal-disaster-assistance-for-four-additional-counties-following-summer-storms-and-floodingWildfire, nationalNICC Incident Management Situation Report and Predictive Services discussion: Wednesday, Sept 30, 2026, 0730 MDT (live PDF, overwritten daily).

Responsible growth requires more than opening new locations, increasing revenue, or expanding into new markets. Growth has to strengthen the business, not simply make it bigger. That distinction becomes increasingly important as a company moves beyond its original founders and locations. What worked when the business was small may become too expensive, too complicated, or simply ineffective at scale. Leaders have to recognize those changes early enough to adapt without abandoning the qualities that made the company successful. Don Varady, CEO and Co-Founder of Clean Eatz, understands that evolution firsthand. What began as a small healthy-food café eventually developed into a franchise organization with more than 120 locations. The path was anything but perfectly mapped out. It involved starting over, taking significant risks, entering franchising without years of industry experience, making mistakes, changing the model, and becoming increasingly disciplined about how the company grows. That experience points to an important reality for any entrepreneur: responsible growth is not about having every answer before you begin. It is about building the ability to make better decisions as the business becomes more complex. Build the Business Around What Customers Value Clean Eatz did not begin with a master plan to create a national franchise system. Don and his wife and co-founder, Yvonne, were initially focused on building a healthy-food concept that served their local community. As the business developed, they found additional ways to serve customers. Today, the Clean Eatz model includes dine-in and carryout business, third-party delivery, rotating weekly meal plans, grab-and-go meals, catering, and marketplace products. A sister company also provides shipped meals and serves additional accounts outside traditional franchise territories. Those revenue streams matter, but the larger business principle is even more valuable. Growth can come from understanding what customers already value and finding additional ways to provide it. The grab-and-go component is a good example. It originated as a practical solution for excess food. Instead of allowing usable ingredients to go to waste, meals were prepared and frozen. Over time, that simple operational solution became another revenue stream and an important source of variety and convenience for customers. Responsible growth often develops this way. Leaders pay attention to what is happening inside the business, identify opportunities that fit the customer, and turn successful ideas into repeatable parts of the model. The key is alignment. Adding revenue streams simply because they might produce additional sales can create unnecessary complexity. The strongest opportunities reinforce the value the company already provides. Be Willing to Change What Used to Work One of the more difficult responsibilities of leadership is recognizing when yesterday's successful model no longer fits today's business environment. Clean Eatz faced that challenge with its restaurant prototype. Don explained that a model the company had used successfully for years eventually became less attractive as construction costs increased and real estate became more expensive. Rather than continuing to force the existing approach, the company began moving toward a tighter, smaller footprint that could reduce equipment and development costs for franchisees. That is responsible growth in practice. A strategy does not have to be a failure before it deserves to be reconsidered. Economic conditions change. Customer expectations change. Technology changes. Labor markets change. Real estate changes. What produced strong results five years ago may create unnecessary friction today. Leaders can become emotionally attached to systems they created, particularly when those systems were once successful. But scaling requires separating the principle behind the business from the specific way it has always been executed. The goal is not to protect the old model. The goal is to protect the business. For Clean Eatz, that means continuing to evaluate how locations are developed and how franchisees are positioned for success. Don also emphasized the importance of site selection before a franchisee signs on the dotted line, along with using newer tools, including AI, to improve vetting and decision-making. Technology can make those decisions more informed, but the objective remains fundamentally human: put the right people into better situations where they have a stronger opportunity to succeed. Growth Depends on the Right People As organizations grow, leadership decisions become increasingly important because the founder can no longer personally execute every part of the business. Don acknowledged that choosing the right people around him has produced some significant lessons. Some hires worked extremely well. Others did not. Over time, those experiences helped clarify what to look for and what to avoid when building the team. This challenge is especially important in franchising. A growing franchise brand may be tempted to view every qualified candidate as another opportunity for expansion. But adding locations without properly evaluating the people responsible for operating them can create problems that affect the entire system. Ford pointed out during the interview that strong franchise organizations often think about awarding franchises rather than simply selling them. The distinction matters because the relationship should involve mutual evaluation. The franchisor needs to determine whether the candidate has the characteristics, commitment, resources, and willingness to follow the system required to succeed. Don's experience has made responsible franchisee vetting an increasingly important part of Clean Eatz's growth strategy. After years of seeing what works and making mistakes along the way, the company now has more experience and better tools available to evaluate prospective franchisees and potential locations. More growth is not automatically better growth. The wrong hire, franchisee, location, or expansion decision can consume resources that could have been invested in stronger opportunities. Responsible growth requires leaders to become increasingly selective as the stakes get higher. Keep Adapting Without Losing the Foundation There is a natural tension in a growing company. The organization needs consistency, but it also needs the ability to change. Too much change can make a business difficult to replicate. Too little change can leave it operating with systems and assumptions that no longer make sense. Clean Eatz's journey demonstrates how those two priorities can coexist. The company has evolved its restaurant model, developed multiple revenue streams, expanded its franchise system, and built a second business around meal distribution. At the same time, the underlying focus on healthy food, convenience, customer experience, and the fitness and wellness community has remained central to the brand. That balance is essential to responsible growth. Leaders need to understand which parts of the business are foundational and which are simply methods of delivering the result. Methods should evolve when better options become available. The foundation should remain clear enough that customers, employees, and partners still understand what the company stands for. The same principle applies to leadership itself. Experience should make leaders more confident, but it should also make them more aware of how much can go wrong. Don's advice to other entrepreneurs reflects that experience: "Trust your gut." He explained that mistakes will happen, but experience develops instincts that leaders should not ignore. Instinct should not replace information, due diligence, or accountability. It can, however, become an important signal when years of experience are telling a leader that something does not fit. Responsible growth combines both. Use better information. Build stronger systems. Ask harder questions. Surround yourself with capable people. Then be willing to act when experience tells you something needs to change.

Tonight, U.S. Army veteran Michael Matthews shares a story of service, survival, isolation & the connection that helped change the direction of his life. Michael served three deployments to the Middle East. During a mission in Mosul, Iraq, he was severely injured in an attack. He awoke two weeks later in a hospital in Germany with a broken jaw, severe burns & injuries that required months of physical therapy. He also returned home with a traumatic brain injury & PTSD. As Michael withdrew from others, a chance encounter with a fellow veteran led him to a Wounded Warrior Project event. That first step helped him rediscover the camaraderie he had been missing. Today, Michael shares his story and mentors other wounded warriors so they understand they are not alone. As Suicide Prevention Awareness Month comes to a close, we'll discuss what it will take to end veteran suicide and what each of us can do to support veterans throughout the year.

You don't need to be the smartest person in the room to build wealth through real estate. But you do need patience, discipline, and a willingness to play the long game. Real estate won't make you rich overnight, but it's incredibly forgiving—meaning you can make mistakes, lose money in the short term, and still come out on top. Apolo Ohno understands this concept better than most, having dedicated his entire youth to becoming a short-track speed skater. He reached the pinnacle of the sport, competing in three Winter Olympic Games and taking home several medals. But when his skating career ended 16 years ago, he faced a challenge he hadn't trained for. He calls it the “great divorce”—separating from an identity that had shaped nearly every part of his life. Thankfully, many of the skills he had spent decades honing translated to real estate investing. Now, Apolo operates at the intersection of high-performance business and wellness, helping entrepreneurs achieve their goals in a more sustainable way. And today, he's sharing the lessons that helped him weather tough times, why your investing network is your single greatest advantage, and how to avoid burnout on the road to financial freedom. In This Episode We Cover Essential skills and habits of successful real estate investors How to “hard pivot” from one career to real estate investing How to find the best real estate deals through your investing network Investing mistakes that cost Apolo money during the Great Financial Crisis Why real estate is one of the “most forgiving” asset classes And So Much More!

Nutrition advice often reduces food to calories, nutrients, and a list of rules to follow. But the more we learn about how the body responds to different foods, the clearer it becomes that this way of thinking tells only part of the story. Today, I'm joined by cardiologist and public health expert Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, director of the Food is Medicine Institute at Tufts University and author of the new book Food Is Medicine. We explore what we still get wrong about food and what changes when we begin treating it more like medicine. Here's what we discuss: Why eating less and exercising more may not lead to lasting weight loss, and what to focus on instead How to choose foods that work with your appetite, metabolism, and microbiome rather than relying on calorie counting What GLP-1 medications can teach all of us about hunger, cravings, and why weight isn't simply about willpower How much protein you actually need and why the source matters What the science says about seed oils and which processed foods are worth avoiding Over the years, I've learned to focus less on counting calories or chasing a single nutrient and more on the quality of the food itself. When you eat real, whole foods, the signals that regulate hunger and energy can begin to work with you instead of against you. Eating well should be less about following rules and more about understanding what helps your body function at its best.

What happens when the people reporting UFO encounters are trained observers whose careers depend on getting the details right? British police inspector Roy Teague joins me to discuss his book Close Encounters of the Police Kind and the remarkable accounts he has collected from hundreds of police officers. We talk about why serving officers are often reluctant to come forward, the stigma that still surrounds the subject, and why Roy believes law enforcement witnesses can bring a uniquely valuable perspective to the UAP mystery. Roy also shares several extraordinary cases, including police helicopter crews encountering unexplained craft over London, officers reporting missing time after a massive triangular object passed overhead, and a bizarre glowing object that appeared to follow a police car before interfering with its radios. We get into alleged abductions, the so-called hitchhiker effect, encounters that seemed strangely aware of the witnesses, and how years of interviewing officers transformed Roy from a skeptic into someone convinced that something very real and very unusual is happening in our skies.

In her first 90 days running corporate development for a venture-backed acquirer, Hannah Sandmeyer closed sixty million dollars in EBITDA. The company had raised a billion dollars in a single Series D and its whole model was growth by acquisition. Then it collapsed when the promised IPO never came. That experience showed her how powerful M&A can be, and it set up the question behind everything she does now, which is what that power looks like when it serves something other than speed and price. Hannah is the founder and CEO of Up and Over Advisors, the first certified B Corporation in the world dedicated exclusively to values-aligned M&A sourcing, and the founder of Steward Market, a live three-sided marketplace for ethical business transitions. She also co-hosts the Ethical Exits podcast. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Why mission-driven founders belong on the buy side and not only the sell side, how shared values and trust can change a deal's structure and open the door to seller financing, how employee ownership and acquisition can work together, and how Steward Market uses values as searchable infrastructure so sellers can find a buyer by mission and hold period rather than valuation alone. HANNAH'S JOURNEY: Hannah grew up in Boise, Idaho, wanting to be a civil rights lawyer for the ACLU, studied political science, and came to see M&A as social and economic justice work because an ownership transition is a redistribution of power. She spent about 18 years in go-to-market and revenue roles before being asked in 2021 to run a corporate development team, where she learned that buying a company is just a different kind of sale. After that acquirer collapsed, she started her own firm expecting to do fractional sales work for B Corps. Instead, founders kept asking her to help them buy companies, and fractional corporate development was born. When she suggested that mission-driven founders could be acquirers too, they recoiled, which led her and her partner to launch Ethical Exits to explore what mission-driven M&A actually looks like. KEY INSIGHTS: Once you see the power of inorganic growth, you cannot unsee it as a lever. The real question is not whether acquisition is good or bad, but what you point it at. Values are a real deal variable. When a buyer and seller genuinely share goals and build trust, sellers become more open to seller financing and less fixated on all cash or the highest multiple. Employee ownership and acquisition can reinforce each other. Hannah points to a social work company that converted to an ESOP, acquired other firms, and began cutting checks north of a million dollars to retiring social workers. An ethical exit is not a partisan idea. Yvon Chouinard put Patagonia's purpose into a trust, and Eddie Smith turned down offers north of four hundred million dollars for Grady White because, as he put it, the company has a soul. The two men likely sit at opposite ends of the political spectrum. Real freedom is reciprocal. Wealth and ownership expand a person's power to make consequential decisions, and for Hannah that increases obligation rather than removing it. Perfect for founders weighing a sale, would-be buyers who assume the buy side is not for them, and advisors who want the deals they work on to protect more than price.
