State lawmakers and business leaders have argued high taxes and stringent regulations are hurting Oregon businesses. In 2025, not long after a CNBC report ranked Oregon near the bottom of states to do business, Gov. Tina Kotek announced a plan to change that. Among other goals, it aims to sharpen the state’s competitive edge through changes to permitting and taxation, partnerships with the private sector and incentives to invest in Oregon. Angela Wilhelms is the president and CEO of Oregon Business and Industry, the state’s largest business advocacy organization. She joins us to discuss why businesses are leaving Oregon and whether the state can improve its business climate to keep them. We also talk with OPB business reporter Kyra Buckley about Gov. Kotek’s roadmap and the challenges currently facing Oregon’s business community.

President Donald Trump has unveiled what he calls the “Great Healthcare Plan,” promising to lower health care costs and make coverage more affordable. However, the proposal offers few specifics on eligibility, insurance subsidies, protections for people with preexisting conditions, or how many Americans would remain uninsured. The lack of detail has raised questions about what would actually change for families facing illness, job loss or major medical bills.

Better Than New – Week 2: “Abide” John 8:31–32; Psalm 119:105Freedom doesn't begin with willpower—it begins with closeness.In Week 2 of Better Than New, Pastor Kevin teaches that redemption isn't just a moment you experience, but a relationship you remain in. After returning to Jesus, the next invitation is simple but demanding: abide. Stay. Remain. Keep showing up.Jesus says that true discipleship starts not with achievement, but with abiding in His word. As we stay close, we begin to truly know the truth—and that truth forms us over time, bringing real freedom.This message is for anyone who wants freedom but feels stuck, weary, or discouraged. You'll be reminded that transformation happens at relationship pace, not through religious striving. God doesn't polish us—He forms us as we stay close to Him.Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 12:45 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextsteps Follow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch

His attorney says Dr. Michael McKee plans to plead not guilty. Given the evidence made public — preliminary ballistic link, surveillance footage, vehicle records traced to the defendant — what defense strategies might be available? Attorney Eric Faddis breaks it down.Police recovered multiple firearms from McKee's property. A preliminary NIBIN link connects one weapon to the Tepe murders. Eric explains what "preliminary" means, how ballistic evidence can be challenged, and how damaging confirmed ballistics would be for the defense.Surveillance footage captured a vehicle arriving before the murders and leaving after. That vehicle has been traced to McKee. Eric examines how strong circumstantial evidence like this typically is — and what arguments defense attorneys use to counter it.The charges were upgraded from murder to premeditated aggravated murder. In Ohio, that requires proving "prior calculation and design." Eric explains what that means and what evidence prosecutors likely have that hasn't been released yet.McKee waived extradition but remains in Illinois. Court records say his transfer to Ohio "will not be feasible" by the end of the week. Chief Bryant said police are withholding details to protect the conviction. Eric explains when discovery begins and what the timeline to trial looks like.Spencer and Monique Tepe were shot dead in their Columbus home on December 30, 2025. Their children were found unharmed. McKee is Monique's ex-husband from a brief marriage that ended in 2017. Her family says they waited eight years for this arrest.McKee faces death penalty-eligible charges in Ohio. Eric analyzes what factors a jury would consider and whether the state's execution moratorium affects prosecution strategy.#MichaelMcKee #SpencerTepe #MoniqueTepe #EricFaddis #TrueCrimeToday #TeepeMurders #DefenseStrategy #ColumbusOhio #AggravatedMurder #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What does it take for an actor to memorize a script so deeply that it survives stress, pressure from everyday life, and even intoxication? Sir Anthony Hopkins has an answer so tempting, I had to try it. And it has less to do with “talent” than you might think. According to his epic autobiography, We Did Ok, Kid, not even Anthony Hopkins thinks his ability to remember so many lines has to do with DNA or some special genetic trait. Having memorized a lot of content myself, I completely agree. And in this guide, you’ll learn how Hopkins turns scripts into mental landscapes, why most performers fail because they chase speed, and how you can adopt Hopkins’ obsessive learning rituals for yourself. If they’re not for you, you’ll also discover how to adapt them using the Magnetic Memory Method. This unique learning approach will help you install lines from a script or poetry so deeply the process will soon feel like second nature. Whether you’re preparing for a stage performance, a TEDx talk, or a high-stakes presentation, this exploration of Anthony Hopkins’ approach to learning is the memory training guide you’ve been looking for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhjIkGu32CA Anthony Hopkins' Memory Ritual: A Healthy “Obsession” Hopkins' brilliant ability to memorize thousands of lines and perform them under pressure isn’t magic. It's the result of a particular ritual that has made him polymathic in number of areas and skills. In case you weren’t aware, Hopkins is not just an award-winning actor. His skills include directing, painting, performing music and now writing. And it has to be said that the writing in We Did Ok, Kid is outstanding. Now, although Hopkins has had teachers and mentors along the way, much of what he’s learned has been autodidactic. For example, as a kid he regularly read Arthur Mee’s Children’s Encyclopedia. Without anyone telling him to do so, he committed lists of facts from its pages to memory. His approach is a bit different than the method I teach in this list memorization tutorial, but related in terms of a kind of spaced repetition Hopkins worked out for himself. Rote Repetition vs. Creative Repetition When it comes to learning the lines of a movie script or play, Hopkins does use a lot of repetition. But it is absolutely not rote learning. That’s because he doesn’t just read a script or a set of instructions while learning. No, Hopkins attacks the material with a pen and adds special marks that turn each page into a kind of private code. And that’s exactly what I tried to do as you can see on this page I worked on from Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus: Some people will protest that not only is Hopkins using rote when it comes to memorizing lines from a script, but that his rote reaches obsessive levels. That’s because he goes through the process of reading and marking up his scripts multiple times, sometimes 250 times or more. Having gone through the process myself, even at an admittedly small scale, I can tell you it is absolutely not rote learning. Looking at a page once it has been marked up automatically moves you from rote repetition to active recall. Active recall is present any time you place information on a page where you have to stretch your mind. And that’s what Hopkins’ marks achieve. His process literally transforms each page from a bland field of words into a highly mnemonic landscape. So when the time to perform arrives, he doesn't try to recall. He simply walks the landscape he has laid in his mind. Or as he puts it: “Becoming familiar with a script was like picking up stones from a cobblestone street one at a time, studying them, then replacing each in its proper spot. Only then could I look out over the road and know every inch of it spread out before me.” Why So Many People Fail at Memorizing Scripts Having worked with countless actors over the years, or even just people who have seen my TEDx Talk and want to memorize a speech, I feel confident when I tell you this: The main reason people fail is not because they are trying to copy the memory tips given by other actors. It’s because they have mistaken activity for accomplishment. And they are trying to move too fast. On the one hand, this desire to create momentum is understandable. Speed not only feels like progress. Moving quickly through rote learning can give you doses of what scientists call phasic dopamine (something you can develop a much healthier relationship with through my dopamine-resetting guide for learners). But when it comes to serious learning and performance, speed is vanity. And as I learned from my podcast interview with actor Ashley Strand who memorized the entire Book of Mark, vanity kills depth. There’s another problem too that many people who want to memorize large amounts of content face. The Emptiness of the Long Distance Learner As a child, Hopkins was haunted by self-doubt and failure. His solution? He not only built a mental container he calls his “Tin Brain Box”. He also imitated other great polymaths like Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. Like many other people with polymathic personality traits, Hopkins keeps a commonplace book and uses it to copy poems by hand. He also carried notebooks when young, and developed a personal note-taking method. More importantly, he learned to switch off his thoughts, a skill I share the science around in my book, The Victorious Mind. I mention my book because when Hopkins advises actors and people learning skills like painting, I know exactly what he means when he said, “Remain empty. Don't think.” Although this suggestion sounds mystical, it's pure performance psychology. The Neuroscience of Learning Without Obstacles You’ve probably had this kind of experience while learning something new. Maybe you’re studying a language or trying to memorize a sales script. Instead of focusing, your mind keeps intervening and asking questions like, “Am I doing this right?” When that happens, you're stuck in the Default Mode Network (DMN), the brain's internal chatter loop. Hopkins' learning technique? It helps silence the Default Mode Network and then activate the Task Positive Network (TPN). You can think of the Task Positive Network as being in what some scientists call a state of “flow.” As Nature puts it in this study, the Default Mode Network is a constant antagonist to that state of flow. But as I know very well, you can switch off the inner narrator with its endless “blah blah blah.” Once done, that leaves you free to become the doer. However, that doesn’t mean you’ll be able to perfectly install new skills or imitate the learning processes of others. My Experiment: Hopkins vs. Magnetic Memory Method I learned this the hard way when I tried Hopkins' method. I spent hours marking up pages. Without an example of what one of his scripts looks like, I had to imagine exactly how he draws circles all over his scripts. But even with the drawings I’ve otherwise had success with on my Zettelkasten and flashcards, I quickly hit a wall. Not because I'm lazy. It’s just because my brain needs a different engine. So I turned back to the same techniques I teach you in the Magnetic Memory Method Masterclass. This is my go-to system for structure, proper mnemonic images, and well-formed Memory Palaces. Once I gave each line a home using the techniques, the lines from Titus Andronicus I wanted to memorize clicked into place. And you can watch me recite those lines during the recent Vitamin X live launch celebration training. Not only did I recite the passage forwards. I demonstrated full Recall Rehearsal and recited them: Forwards Backwards From the middle to the end From the middle to the beginning The even numbered lines The odd numbered lines Memory Palaces: The Shortest Path to Reliable Recall Memory Palaces aren't theoretical. They're ancient. And they remain one of the most effective tools for embedding information into long-term, actionable memory. If you're unfamiliar with the method, here's the short version: You take a familiar physical location, such as your apartment, a childhood school, or a route you know well. Then you assign information to specific points along a path you assign throughout the location. By mentally walking the path, you access the information in order. It's not rote memory. It's spatial, visual, contextual memory. And when used properly, it’s incredibly fast. Here’s a walkthrough video of me using it to memorize some poetry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STlYIiF9RzI If you would like to learn how to build and use your own Memory Palaces for acting, speeches, or studies, you can explore the Memory Palace technique through my complete guide here. What I Really Learned When Imitating Hopkins’ Memory Ritual After realizing that Hopkins’ memory routine was just not for me, I took a completely different angle. I put the camera on and attempted to document my memorization process for public consumption. But soon, something broke inside me. I couldn’t focus on using the memory techniques I love so much and have covered so extensively in my online mnemonics dictionary. By putting a camera on and starting the clock, something I’ve done before with success when I competed with Dave Farrow, I found myself locked in the Default Mode Network. In other words, I started worrying about how I looked instead of focusing on using the Magnetic Memory Method. For me, real memorization is quiet. Private. And for many of us, it resists observation. When I returned to internal work on my own, no stopwatch, no camera, I shifted back to the ancient art of memory and simply learned the lines. What You Can Learn from Hopkins (Without Imitating Him) Hopkins' genius isn't something to mimic line by line. His method fits his mind and that’s a beautiful thing. But the real lesson is that your mind might need something different. And that’s exactly what he says. Go out and explore and find your own method. What I learned is that memory is not for display. For me, it’s a private practice that leads to increased focus, presence and command over the things I want to say. Once you understand your learning goals, you can adapt any system to your own cognitive strengths. For me, that system is the Magnetic Memory Method, and if you’d like to learn to use Memory Palaces for free, grab this course now: It not only gives you four video lessons and worksheets to help you develop your memory skills. It also helps you enter the state of flow that makes learning so much easier and more fun. So what do you say? I found it refreshing to learn that Hopkins wasn't a particularly gifted child. He felt behind for much of his life. But instead of accepting failure, he built a learning system that ultimately helped him master multiple skills. His memory became the foundation for multiple experiences of development, growth and personal transformation. If you've struggled with memorization, or felt pressure to perform before you're ready, this is your call to take a step back. Build your memory. Explore the many techniques available to you and find the ones that fit your mind. Install them so deeply that learning never feels like work again. Because when you get it right, it’s not work. It’s not play either. It’s simply you. 100% present. Enjoying flow.
Markets are quietly broadening beneath the surface. While mega-cap stocks continue to dominate headlines, money is rotating into small caps, mid caps, value stocks, and even international equities. The S&P Equal Weight Index just set a new all-time high—even as the S&P 500 lagged—highlighting improving market breadth. Small caps and mid caps have closed part of their long-standing performance gap with large caps, but meaningful differences remain. The Russell 2000 and S&P 600 are still trailing the S&P 500, and small caps remain highly sensitive to economic slowdowns. Roughly 40% of the small-cap universe is unprofitable, making today's valuation enthusiasm especially vulnerable if growth expectations disappoint. Value stocks, defensive names, and select international markets are participating, suggesting this rally is not as narrow as many headlines imply. However, rotation does not eliminate risk—it shifts it. Investors should be cautious chasing economically sensitive areas at elevated valuations and remain disciplined with diversification, rebalancing, and risk management as market leadership evolves.

In this message, Pastor Ken Senchal walks through the powerful truth of the Gospel found in Romans 10:9–10, where Scripture declares that when we confess Jesus as Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead, we are saved. Salvation moves us from spiritual death to spiritual life—from darkness into light. But salvation is only the beginning. Drawing from John 15:4–5, where Jesus says, "Remain in me, and I will remain in you… apart from me you can do nothing," Pastor Ken explains how real spiritual growth doesn't come from trying harder or being more religious—it comes from staying connected to Christ in a real, daily relationship. This episode also unpacks: Why many believers struggle to grow after coming to faith (Hebrews 5:12–14) The difference between religious routines and relational closeness with Jesus Jesus' personal invitation in Revelation 3:20 to open the door and share life with Him Whether you're exploring faith for the first time, returning to God, or feeling spiritually stuck, this message offers clarity, hope, and a simple next step: remain in Christ and let Him produce fruit in your life.
