Your dashboard says you are their primary bank. You may only be their vault. More than half of the new checking accounts opened today are additional accounts. The direct deposit lands with you. The relationship lives somewhere else. Primacy no longer begins with the transaction. It begins earlier, at the moment a customer asks their first financial question. Last year, 10% of Americans took that question to an AI. This year it is 55%, and 77% among Gen Z. Those conversations are not happening with their bank, even though consumers still trust their financial institution far more than they trust an AI with their money. Jim Marous covers the four questions customers are already asking, and how banks and credit unions can answer them first: instant access to cash with no application and no credit bureau, a payday message that says what is safe to spend, subscription alerts with a one-tap cancel, and an open-ended question bar with a human at the bottom of every answer. Featuring Huntington, Regions, Bank of America and Erica, Fifth Third, and the implementation gap that keeps good ideas from ever reaching a customer.

AI-ready organizations gain the most value from AI by treating it as a governed system, not just a tool, using verification, training, and strong oversight to boost productivity while maintaining trust, accuracy, and engineering judgment.That's the key take-away message of this episode of the Wise Decision Maker Show, which talks about how AI-ready regions and teams are redefining tech strategy.This article forms the basis for this episode: https://disasteravoidanceexperts.com/ai-ready-regions-and-teams-are-redefining-tech-strategy/

Crude oil sourcing for the three refining regions in Louisiana couldn't be more different from each other. In today's RBN blog, we examine crude oil flows into and out of the Bayou State, assess supply/demand balances, and explore why is could be increasingly important to understand those balances.

How many times have you noticed an expert witness for deposition, only to be told you've got to pay their fee in advance, failing which, they say, they aren't coming. As Jim Garrity explains, it doesn't have to be that way. Listen in and learn why prepayment isn't required and how to properly avoid advance payment. After all, those prepayment demands are often excessive, don't explain how the fee was determined, and of course don't guarantee the expert will even qualify as such, much less offer admissible testimony. And we've got a wealth of research for you in the show notes.SHOW NOTESEvans v. Home Depot USA, Inc., Case no. 2:25-CV-451-SPC-KRH, 2026 WL 1837154 (M. D. Florida June 25, 2026) (plaintiff's treating doctor, a non-retained expert, was set for one hour deposition, and demanded prepayment of $3,000 for the deposition; held, prepayment is generally not required, “so lack of prepaid fees would not justify refusing to attend the deposition after proper service of a valid subpoena;” further outlining the process to address a treating physician's potential nonappearance at a deposition, asking whether the deposition was subject to the courts subpoena power, and if so, whether the defendant had issued and served the subpoena, noting that the court then need not intervene until (a) the physician seeks to quash the subpoena or fails to appear, and (b) the defendant moves to hold him in contempt for failing to appear to deposition)Johnson v. Spirit Airlines, Inc., No. CV 07-1874FBJO, 2008 WL 1995117, at *1 (E.D.N.Y. May 6, 2008) (“The pertinent rule thus teaches that once Dr. Seldes has actually “spent” time responding to Spirit's questions at the deposition, he may then bill Spirit for a “reasonable” fee for that amount of “time.” Dr. Seldes therefore may not insist on advance payment, and may not set a flat fee before he knows what he will be called upon to do; he may instead charge only a reasonable hourly fee. I will not predict in advance what reasonable hourly fee Dr. Seldes may choose to request, but should a dispute arise, I will of course defer to the persuasive authority of cases such as the Garnier decision cited above and the precedent on which it in turn relied. See id. at *3-*4 (describing a range of reasonable hourly rates below $500))Conte v. Newsday, Inc., No. CV 06-4859 JFB ETB, 2011 WL 3511071, at *3 (E.D.N.Y. Aug. 10, 2011) (“The rule and the case law makes it clear that the parties seeking court intervention to determine a reasonable fee for an expert deposition should do so retrospectively—that is, after the deposition has taken place. The rule clearly contemplates that a court order will be issued subsequent to the deposition, as it requires a court to order payment of a “reasonable fee for time spent in responding to discovery”)Tennant v. Handi-House Mfg. Co., Case No. 3:16-cv-1276-J-25MCR, 2017 WL 11105252 (M. D. Fla. Nov. 20, 2017) (Defendant moved for, among other things, order deferring payment for deposition of plaintiff's treating physician, who canceled the deposition because he did not receive the $3,300 payment he demanded for his two-hour deposition; held, Defendant's request to defer deposition fees of the treating physician granted, with the court “finding that prepayment of expert witness deposition fees is inappropriate under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure;” noting that Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(4)(E) “does not require the prepayment of expert deposition fees; further noting that the parties agreed that the issues presented are governed by the expert fee rules, implying that a treating physician may qualify as an expert under the circumstances); Court also noted that Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(4)(E)(i) says that unless manifest injustice would result, the court must require that the party seeking discovery pay the expert a reasonable fee for “time spent” in responding to discovery; court noted that the deposition had not yet taken place, and so seemed to emphasize that it was premature to determine the reasonableness of payment because the provision talks about “time spent” and the doctor had not yet been deposed”)Regions Bank, etc. v. Kaplan, No. 8:12-CV-1837-T-17MAP, 2015 WL 4935694 (M.D. Fla. Aug. 18, 2025) (Bank filed Motion to Defer Payments to Experts or to Determine Reasonableness of Expert Charges, where defendants demanded that the bank pay an invoice from TASA Group in the amount of $10,325.29 in advance of the banking expert's testimony, failing which the witness would not appear; bank argued that the court should defer reimbursement obligation pending the outcome of the case, in pending submission of supporting data, arguing that the Committee Notes to the 1970 amendments to Rule 26 say that the court may issue an order to pay fees as a condition of discovery, or it may delay the order until after discovery is completed.; Court noted that “other courts have denied request for advance payment because Rule 26 (small B) (4) (E) does not require it,” citing cases from Wisconsin and California for the proposition that, unlike ordinary witness fees, no rule requires that an opposing expert deposition fees be tendered to the witness in advance)Regions' Motion to Defer on Payment of Experts, or alternatively, to Determine Reasonableness of Kaplan Parties' Expert Charges and Supporting Memorandum of Law (CM/ECF Doc. 435) Regions Bank, etc. v. Kaplan, No. 8:12-CV-1837-T-17MAP, 2015 WL 4935694 (M.D. Fla. Aug. 18, 2025)Defendant Marvin I. Kaplan's Motion for Approval of Expert Witness Fees and Expenses (CM/ECF Doc. 436), Regions Bank, etc. v. Kaplan, No. 8:12-CV-1837-T-17MAP, 2015 WL 4935694 (M.D. Fla. Aug. 18, 2025)Parkland Venture, LLC v. City of Muskego, No. 09-C-0972, 2010 WL 4723411 (E. D. Wisconsin November 15, 2010) denying plaintiff's motion requiring the defendants to pay reasonable fees to the plaintiff's experts in advance of taking their depositions; court noted that while rule 26(b)(4)(C) provides in relevant part that in less manifest justice would result, the court shall require that the party seeking discovery pay the expert a reasonable fee for time spent responding to discovery, rule does not say that experts fees must be paid in advance of the deposition absent agreement to do so, and pointing out that unlike ordinary witness fees, no rule requires that an opposing expert's deposition fees be tendered to the witness in advance)Kramer et al. v. Hartford Insurance Co. of the Midwest, Case No. 8:12-cv-01824-T-17AEP, 2013 WL 12155927 (M. D. Florida April 30, 2013) (court granted Defendant's Motion to Compel Deposition Testimony of Dennis James, an expert, finding “that prepayment of expert witness fees, including Mr. James' expert witness in this action, is inappropriate under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The court noted that while Rule 26(b)(4)(E)(i) says that in less manifest injustice would result, the court must require that a party seeking discovery pay the expert a reasonable fee for “time spent” [emphasis added], the Advisory Committee Notes (1970 Amendment) to Rule 26(b)(4) authorize a court to require the payment of fees and expenses as a condition of discovery, and also to delay the order until after discovery is completed. Thus, the court ordered the deposition to proceed but set a payment deadline for his fees within 50 days of the date of his deposition. The court emphasized that - while rule 26(b)(4)(E)(i) “is silent as to exactly when an expert will be paid after responding to discovery, the Court finds that a degree of reasonableness is inherent in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. In the circumstances of this case, a payment deadline of 50 days was reasonable.)Harris v. Costco Wholesale Corp., 226 F.R.D. 675, 676–77 (S.D. Cal. 2005) (plaintiff's counsel abruptly terminated defense deposition of plaintiff's expert because Defendant would not pay expert witness fee at that time; court, rejecting the manner of termination is improper, said of Rule Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(b)(4)(C) that while experts must be paid absent manifest injustice, “The rule does not state, however, that the expert's fees must be paid in advance of the deposition absent agreement to do so. To the contrary, “[u]nlike ordinary witness fees, no rule requires that an opposing expert's deposition fees be tendered to the witness in advance… Because there is no rule allowing a party to terminate a deposition for the failure to pay opposing expert witness fees in advance, Plaintiff's counsel was wrong in doing so in the instant case)Conte v. Newsday, Inc., No. CV 06–4859 (JFB) (ETB), 2011 WL 3511071, at *2 (E.D.N.Y. Aug. 10, 2011) (ruling that a motion seeking prepayment for an expert's deposition was premature because the Rule “clearly contemplates that a court order will be issued subsequent to the deposition;” further saying “Nor, as discussed above, does the rule entitle plaintiff to payment in advance, citing Rule 26(b)(4)(E), which entitles an expert to a reasonable fee for “time spent” responding to discovery); citing Johnson v. Spirit Airlines, Inc., No. CV 07-1874FBJO, 2008 WL 1995117, at *1 (E.D.N.Y. May 6, 2008) (“[The expert] therefore may not insist on advance payment ....”). Rather, if the parties cannot agree to reasonable reimbursement for plaintiff's experts following their depositions, either party may apply to the Court for such a determination;” “Dr. Seldes therefore may not insist on advance payment, and may not set a flat fee before he knows what he will be called upon to do; he may instead charge only a reasonable hourly fee.”)Conte v. Newsday, Inc., No. CV 06-4859 JFB ETB, 2011 WL 3511071, at *2 (E.D.N.Y. Aug. 10, 2011) (citing Broushet v. Target Corp., ––– F.R.D. ––––, 2011 WL 1750753, at *1 (E.D.N.Y. Mar.3, 2011), and saying “Courts consider the following factors in determining whether a requested expert fee is reasonable: (1) the witness' area of expertise; (2) the education and training that is required to provide the expert insight that is sought; (3) the prevailing rates for other comparably respected available experts; (4) the nature, quality and complexity of the discovery responses provided; (5) the cost of living in the particular geographic area; (6) any other factor likely to be of assistance to the court in balancing the interests implicated by Rule 26; (7) the fee actually being charged to the party who retained him; and (8) fees traditionally charged by the expert on related matters”)Ratliff v.

After four years of fighting, the war in the northern colonies settles into a stalemate. It rages in the southern colonies, but the American southern army suffers the worst calamities of the war. An army of frontiersmen known as the Overmountain Men deliver a spark of hope for the American cause at the Battle of Kings Mountain. Then, an American column led by Brigadier General Daniel Morgan stuns a British column at the Battle of Cowpens. The Americans finally gain the momentum, and they ride it to an historic conclusion.

Can Bordeaux adapt to changing wine tastes without losing its identity? Bordeaux is pulling up thousands of hectares of vines because of overproduction. How does Mouton Cadet's model offer a way out for some wine growers? How are modern Bordeaux producers, like Mouton Cadet, creating wines with more energy, smoothness, and drinkability for today's consumers? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Véronique Hombroekx, the Managing Director for the Mouton Cadet Brand and Jérôme Aguirre, Director, Mouton Cadet Wines, about their Fair for Life program. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks.   Highlights Why did Canada become one of the first markets chosen for Mouton Cadet's Fair for Life launch? What does the success of Fair for Life wines in Canada reveal about today's wine consumers? Why does Veronique see consumer support as a direct investment in the future of winegrowers? How is Mouton Cadet helping consumers understand what the Fair for Life certification means? Why does Veronique view consumer confusion between Fair for Life and Fair Trade as an opportunity rather than a problem? Why does Veronique believe Bordeaux still faces difficult challenges despite signs of optimism? How are changing consumer preferences forcing Bordeaux to rethink its traditional style of wine? Why do Veronique and Jérôme believe curiosity and humility are essential to Bordeaux's future? How is Mouton Cadet helping growers become more resilient instead of pulling out vineyards? Why is maintaining 30% organic vineyards more realistic than pursuing organic conversion at any cost? What does Jérôme mean when he says the 2022 vintage is "singing" while the 2023 vintage is "dancing"? If Veronique could summarize Fair for Life in a single sentence, what would she want consumers to understand?   About Mouton Cadet's Fair for Life Certification The Fair for Life fair-trade certification scheme officially recognises Mouton Cadet's commitment and makes them unique in Bordeaux. The aim of this certification is to pursue existing initiatives with their winegrowers in response to a range of challenges: economic (more resilient operating models), environmental (support for the agroecological transition) and social (training, transmission of skills). Each bottle of Mouton Cadet with the Fair for Life label bears witness to the combination of a shared passion and a long-term commitment.           To learn more, visit https://www.nataliemaclean.com/396.

Foundations of Amateur Radio The other day I was asked a question on social media. Having answered this question several times before, I admittedly .. initially .. groaned, then provided the bare bones of a response. A little while later, I recalled that I had provided a detailed response to this same question, as it turns out, five years earlier on a different social media platform, so I added another response that included the link to that answer. It all still felt very incomplete and inadequate and I couldn't leave it alone. Which leads me to the anxiety generating question and my response to it. Here goes: "[h]ow do you get into amateur radio? Is there like a 101 guide you could link me?" This is a question I've been answering for quite some time. Searching for the word "start" across the titles of my podcasts, there's 17 articles on the topic. So, having searched previously and fruitlessly for something resembling a universal answer, this to disclaim that I didn't look again and perhaps someone else has done something about it, I started a new project, because of course I did. I named it: "Getting Started in Amateur Radio" and published it on my GitHub repository. The intent of the project is to give the visitor a gentle introduction to the hobby, provide some idea of why you need a license, how it's different from things like the Citizen's Band, how you'll be starting on a life-long journey and introducing the concept that each country is slightly different. Think of it as an onramp into the hobby and our community. To deal with those, essentially legal differences between countries, I also consulted the International Telecommunications Union, the ITU, and created a folder structure of Regions and within it a folder for each country that the ITU as a United Nations specialised agency recognises. Before you ask, Yes, I'm aware that the UN doesn't recognise some countries that you might. I don't know how the International Amateur Radio Union, the IARU, our global representative body deals with that. If you know, get in touch. Since I'm based in Australia, I started with populating the information there. It contains some information about the regulator, representative bodies, callsigns, links to more information and hopefully initial information sufficient to "find" the community. It's still a work in progress, but it gives a good idea of the intent. Now comes the hard part. You. My log processing tool, "awstats", tells me that there are 209 different countries in my logs that represent you listening, reading and sharing my articles. So, I daresay that between all of us there is enough to cover pretty much all of the globe and with it, personal knowledge on how to become an amateur in your country. So, as one amateur to another, let's get on-air and make some noise! Let's try and document what's needed to become an amateur in your country. Please supply issue tickets, patches, emails, whatever you like, to get the information pertinent to your experience into one central place, so next time someone asks any of us: "How do you get into amateur radio?", there's a place we can share, that you contributed to and that contains the information pertinent to anyone who'd like to play. Look forward to hearing from you. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

I'm immeasurably uplifted by some Trade Me data. Could it be we are finally getting the message on rural or provincial New Zealand? Job data increasingly shows we're looking to the regions for work. More people (68%) are prepared to move, supposedly. Always be careful of surveys because what people say versus what they do doesn't always equate. But at least some of the 68% must actually pull the trigger. There has been a 12% month-on-month search increase in job ads. The likes of New Plymouth is up 40%, Invercargill is up 37%, and Palmerston North is 23%. I have said for years, if you can do what you do anywhere, why would you do it in a place you can't afford to live in? A lack of money makes life miserable. It limits choices, makes us stressed, and closes financial doors. Too many people are stuck in places like Auckland. Auckland is disproportionately large and the salaries that this country pays, on average, do not support a decent life in a place like Auckland, or Queenstown, or possibly even a large slice of the Bay of Plenty. But there are a lot of jobs where the wage is the same no matter what the location. In fact, one of the most glaring pieces of intel is your average wage and it's broadly the same in most places in the country. It's a little higher in Wellington because of the public service, but overall, between $70,000-80,000 is where we sit on average. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that if, as a couple, you earn two lots of $70,000-ish a year, $140,000-ish together, it goes a hell of a lot of further in Nelson than it does in Auckland or Queenstown. The house on the West Coast is nothing like the north of the country. This land is festooned with amazing provincial cities that have a lot of the big city access and choices. Even Christchurch, which is booming, is still comparatively affordable and by the time you get to small town New Zealand you are rolling in it in your $500,000 house, no commute, later get-up, less stress, and all the while doing the same job. So I hope the stats are real and the move is on. There is a lot of New Zealand that has never been fully utilised or appreciated. If your lot is too hard, move. You won't know yourself.

Italian wine inspires passion, curiosity, and, for many people, a fair amount of confusion. Even devoted wine lovers can feel overwhelmed when faced with Italy's astonishing range of native grape varieties, regional traditions, appellations, and bottles whose labels sometimes seem to raise more questions than answers. Unlike wine cultures built around a relatively smaller group of internationally recognized grapes, Italy's wine identity is gloriously complex, shaped by geography, history, climate, and deeply local traditions that can shift dramatically from one valley to the next. That's precisely what makes Italian Wine: The History, Regions, and Grapes of an Iconic Wine Country, co-authored by Kate Leahy and Shelley Lindgren, such a genuinely useful and engaging book. In our recent podcast conversation,  Kate and I talked not only about the book itself, but about why Italian wine remains one of the most fascinating, and sometimes misunderstood, wine cultures in the world.

Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan (www.eastleighfarm.com) shares the biggest news affecting smaller family farmers, starting with the Farm Bill. The House is working on another draft Farm Bill, continuing with the hold up. Additionally, the U.S. House passed the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 (H.R. 8467) on April 30, 2026, with a 224-200 bipartisan vote, advancing a new five-year farm bill that strengthens crop insurance, raises commodity reference prices, and reauthorizes USDA programs through 2031. The bill now faces a difficult path in the Senate, where it needs 60 votes to overcome a filibuster. The Farm Bill also contains significant changes to SNAP (food assistance), which has been a major point of debate, with many questioning why this is even included on this bill at all. Moving along, a new study suggests people living in areas with heavy pesticide use face significantly higher risk of cancer. The research suggests that combinations of pesticides, even those considered safe individually, can act together to damage cells, suggesting environmental exposure is a major, previously underestimated factor in cancer rates. Regions with high agricultural activity, specifically the US Midwest, showed significantly higher cancer incidence, with some estimates suggesting risks comparable to or higher than smoking for certain cancers. The study found that "pesticide cocktails"—combinations of chemicals (like Glyphosate, Atrazine, and [Dicamba])—multiply cancer risk, rather than any single chemical acting alone. Even pesticides deemed "non-carcinogenic" individually by regulatory standards appear to contribute to cancer risk when combined in the environment. Researchers identified that these mixtures can disrupt liver cells—a primary detoxification organ—years before a cancer diagnosis. The study linked higher exposure to increased rates of leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and cancers of the bladder, colon, lung, and pancreas. In case you missed it, May is Mental Health Month. The American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) Farm State of Mind campaign, supported by the Farm State of Mind Alliance formed in 2025, works to reduce mental health stigma and increase access to resources for farmers and ranchers. The initiative provides a national directory, free counseling, and training to support mental wellness in rural communities. Founded by AFBF, National Farmers Union, National 4-H Council, and Farm Foundation, the Alliance brings together trusted voices to make, “It's okay not to be okay,” a standard in agricultural communities. The campaign utilizes initiatives like farm-focused mental health articles in magazines and on TV. The campaign emphasizes May as Mental Health Awareness Month to reach out to neighbors in the agricultural community.For more on the American Family Farmer…Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.comSocial Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Most VCs talk about ownership. Few actually build it. Neil Sequeira, Co-Founder and General Partner at Defy, breaks down the unconventional strategies his firm uses to average 17 percent ownership across their seven highest marked portfolio companies — and why that number puts them up against any early stage manager in the country.Neil spent 12 years at General Catalyst before co-founding Defy a decade ago. In this conversation, he gets into why 75 percent of their deal flow never goes to market, how they made their biggest capital call on April 1st 2020 when venture investment was down 80 percent industry-wide, and why the most contentious deal at the partner meeting is usually the one that ends up doing the best.This is a masterclass in early stage conviction, portfolio construction, and what it actually means to partner with a founder for the long term.⭐ Sponsored by Podcast10x - Podcasting agency for VCs - https://podcast10x.comWe talk about -- Why Defy keeps their partnership small on purpose, and how that directly drives better early stage returns- The April 1st 2020 capital call: how they deployed 20% of Fund 2 in the quarter venture fell 80% industry-wide- The three-bucket framework for evaluating investments, and why the founder bucket outweighs market knowledge and hard work combined- How Defy averages 17% ownership across their seven highest marked companies using strategies most VCs never think to use- The one early signal that has predicted every failed investment in their portfolio, and why they no longer rationalize past it---Timestamps:(00:00) - Preview(00:28) - Introduction to Neil Sequeira and Defy(02:05) - How Decision-Making Quality Changes as VC Firms Scale(05:54) - The Speed of Conviction in Large vs. Small Firms(07:20) - The Power of Proprietary Deals(08:52) - Neil's Most Formative Investment Decisions(13:25) - Why the "Person" is the Most Critical Investment Factor(16:39) - Case Study: When an Investment Thesis Evolves Significantly(20:40) - Evolving Portfolio Construction Across Different Funds(22:30) - The Impact of AI on Investment Strategy and Check Size(24:10) - Building Company-Creation Platforms (US Defense, Crypto)(25:25) - How LPs React to Evolving Fund Strategies(28:20) - A Contrarian Approach: Investing When the Market Goes Dark(32:39) - Initial Bets vs. Doubling Down on Winners(34:35) - How Defy Owns 17% of Their Best Companies(37:34) - Patterns in Failed Investments: Lessons from Hindsight(38:25) - The Red Flag of Founder Integrity Issues(40:15) - The Danger of Market Noise and Not Controlling Your Destiny(44:03) - Start of Rapid Fire Round(44:19) - Sectors and Regions of Investment(44:53) - Typical Stage of Investment(45:47) - Leading Investment Rounds(46:28) - Typical Check Size and Ownership Goals(47:38) - How to Connect with Neil and Defy(48:45) - ConclusionLinks:Defy - https://defy.vc/Connect with Neil Sequeira - https://www.linkedin.com/in/neil-sequeira-76739a40/Connect with Prashant: https://linkedin.com/in/choubeysahabSubscribe to VC10X newsletter - ⁠https://vc10x.beehiiv.com⁠Subscribe on YouTube - ⁠https://youtube.com/@VC10X ⁠Subscribe on Apple Podcasts - ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/vc10x-investing-venture-capital-asset-management-private/id1632806986⁠Subscribe on Spotify - ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/7F7KEhXNhTx1bKTBFgzv3k?si=WgQ4ozMiQJ-6nowj6wBgqQ⁠VC10X website - ⁠https://vc10x.com#VentureCapital #EarlyStageInvesting #StartupFunding #VC10X #NeilSequeira #Defy #PortfolioConstruction #FounderAdvice #VCPodcast #StartupInvesting

In this intense and thought-provoking episode, Dan Duval presents a non-traditional framework of spiritual warfare and deliverance, moving far beyond the common “cast out demons” approach. He introduces the concept of regions of captivity—spiritual, psychological, and even symbolic spaces where parts of a person's soul or identity may be held due to trauma, spiritual influence, or deeply rooted experiences. The episode weaves together biblical interpretation, personal ministry experiences, and controversial spiritual claims to argue that human brokenness can result in fragmentation—not just emotionally or psychologically, but spiritually. According to this perspective, these fragments may become trapped in internal subconscious “worlds,” external spiritual realms, or even attached to physical objects.  Dan connects these ideas to scriptures such as Psalm 23, Psalm 88, Isaiah 61, Revelation 18, and Ezekiel 13, offering a literal interpretation that suggests captivity is not merely symbolic but experiential. He also explores how trauma, memory, and belief systems can create internal prisons, reinforcing cycles of pain, fear, and limitation. A major theme of the episode is restoration—the belief that through Christ, individuals can reclaim lost parts of themselves, break free from unseen bondage, and experience deeper healing. Whether understood spiritually, psychologically, or metaphorically, this episode challenges listeners to reconsider the nature of freedom, identity, and healing.You can register for the Bride Ministries Marriage Advance here: https://marriage.bridemovement.comThen we ENCOURAGE you to do 4 QUICK THINGS!!Sign up to be a podcast memberwww.danduval.comBe sure to check out and like our new Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/DiscoveringTruthNetworkSubscribe to the new podcast YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5nxloF2rt7-dXkjppGHdFAAND Subscribe to our Rumble Channel, where we will post all of our interviews that are TOO HOT for YouTube!DiscoveringTruthNetwork (rumble.com)

Find us at www.crisisinvesting.com Doug and Matt discuss a podcast featuring MIT professor Ted Postel, agreeing the Iran war is an escalating catastrophe with unavoidable, chaotic economic consequences driven by higher petroleum prices. They answer subscriber questions on how rising diesel impacts mining all-in sustaining costs (estimated 10–25%), how to identify viable new business ideas by solving real problems, and how Doug would start investing today by focusing on currently cheap resource stocks while avoiding becoming a one-trick pony. Doug recounts a few tense travel encounters (Haiti and Congo), outlines private placement risks (illiquidity and funding needy companies) and rewards (discounts and warrants), and says no clear asymmetric trade exists without reliable on-the-ground information. They cover music royalties, Brazil travel and bureaucracy, vaccine skepticism, corn's subsidies versus a bullish ag view, draft avoidance uncertainty, 401(k) dilemmas, dollar devaluation and gold, numismatics demand issues, and Hydrograph as a high-risk speculation where taking a "Casey Free Ride" is prudent. 00:00 Subscriber Q&A Kickoff 00:37 Podcast Takeaways on War 02:20 Economic Shock and Energy Reality 05:11 Mining Costs vs Diesel Spike 06:23 Finding a Business Pain Point 07:42 Starting Investing Today 09:18 Dangerous Travel Stories 13:42 Private Placements Risks 15:23 Asymmetric Bets in Iran War 18:08 Professor Jiang on Long War 21:11 Music Royalties and Dire Straits 22:17 Brazil Outlook and Regions 23:10 Brazil Travel Reality 24:23 Visas And Travel Tightening 25:16 Covid Vaccine Skepticism 27:29 Corn Subsidy Machine 30:08 Corn As Investment 32:05 Draft Avoidance Talk 33:45 Protecting 401k Savings 35:39 Dollar Devaluation And Gold 39:10 Numismatics Exit Strategy 40:40 Women And Preparedness 41:39 Buying Hydrograph Shares 42:52 Hydrograph Buy More Guidance 44:24 Free Ride Speculation Lesson 45:30 Wrap Up And Next Week
