Creating a Family: Talk about Infertility, Adoption & Foster Care
Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.Question: I have a friend whose 12-year-old adopted son (adopted at age 6) has been sexually abusing his younger siblings. She self-reported to CPS and law enforcement, but they have not done a formal removal yet, and their solutions involved bringing the child back home or kinship (not an option). The offending child is currently in a temporary behavioral hospital, and a Refusal to Assume Parental Responsibility was opened on my friend because she will not pick him up, especially not until he receives specialized treatment for sexual aggression. The other children deserve a safe home to heal. Has anyone been through this before? If, after treatment, she still does not feel like it's in the children's best interest for him to return home, what are her options?

On this week's episode, we're joined by mama and singer Julie Mintz, whose path to her daughter Ophelia is nothing short of extraordinary. Decade-old frozen eggs, shocking lab errors, surrogacy setbacks, countless retrievals, and the discovery that she and her husband were both genetic carriers for the same disease. Then came HOPE in the form of one healthy embryo. One tiny maybe. At 47, she welcomed her baby Ophelia and turned her own miracle into a mission, offering financial support to help other families grow. It's a story that is at times harrowing and frustrating, and one that captures the real-world courage behind so many fertility journeys.

Are you keeping score in your relationships with your spouse, kids, or friends? I welcome back our resident therapist expert, Dr. Jennifer Dragonette, for an eye-opening conversation about the ways our perspectives can shape every aspect of our relationships—at home and beyond. Dr. Jen introduces us to the idea of "positive vs. negative sentiment override." It's all about how we subconsciously gather evidence to support the story we're telling ourselves about our partner, our kids, or even our coworkers, and how that can tip our emotional balance, for better or worse. We dig in and make some interesting connections to my world of financial planning, comparing these emotional patterns to the affirmation bias investors often face. There are many parallels between managing money and managing emotions, particularly in breaking old habits, letting go of scorekeeping, and learning to see the positive in the people we care about. If you're a parent struggling with expectations, a partner trying to reconnect, or just someone looking for more balance, I think you'll find this episode both relatable and practical. Please enjoy my conversation with Dr. Jennifer Dragonette. Connect with Paul Contact Paul here or schedule a time to meet with Paul here.

In First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, Inc. v. Platkin, the New Jersey Attorney General, Matthew Platkin, issued a subpoena to a faith-based, pro-life, nonprofit, requiring that it turn over years of sensitive information, including the names and contact information of its donors. First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, which provides free medical services and is funded by private donations, refused to comply with the demand for donor information, alleging that the subpoena chilled its rights of association and speech.First Choice filed an action in federal court, but the district court twice dismissed the case, finding it "unripe" and requiring that the constitutional issues first be adjudicated in state court. The Third Circuit affirmed this decision.The Supreme Court will consider whether, when the subject of a state investigatory demand has established a reasonably objective chill of its First Amendment rights, a federal court in a first-filed action is deprived of jurisdiction because those rights must be adjudicated in state court. This case addresses broader issues, including the power of state officials and the role of federal courts in protecting First Amendment rights from chilling effects caused by state action.Join us for an expert breakdown of oral arguments.Featuring:Christopher E. Mills, Principal, Spero Law LLC(Moderator) Christopher Bates, Shareholder, Kirton McConkie
Interview with Dennis Lindgren, CEO of Black Bear MineralsRecording date: 10th December 2025Black Bear Minerals (ASX:BKB) has completed a strategic transformation from lithium explorer to focused North American precious metals developer, acquiring the Shafter Silver Project in Texas for A$30 million whilst advancing the Independence Gold Project in Nevada. This repositioning positions the company at the intersection of exceptional resource grades, existing production infrastructure, and America's growing recognition of critical mineral supply vulnerabilities.The flagship Shafter Project hosts 17.6 million ounces at 289 grams per tonne silver in foreign resource estimates, ranking amongst the ASX's highest-grade silver resources. CEO Dennis Lindgren, formerly with South32 and Alcoa, emphasises the infrastructure advantage: "It's one of the highest grade silver projects on the ASX. It comes with about 150 million in estimated infrastructure and that includes existing underground workings, existing core sheds as well as historical data." This existing infrastructure—including underground workings, mill circuits, and processing facilities operational until 2013—potentially compresses development timelines by years compared to greenfield competitors.Near-term catalysts centre on JORC-compliant resource conversion targeted for the second half of 2026, supported by A$17 million working capital allocated for drilling programmes. Recent rock chip sampling has returned exceptional grades exceeding 3,000 g/t from near-surface areas outside the current resource footprint, whilst historical stockpile evaluation reveals grades averaging over 300 g/t, suggesting previous operators may have applied inappropriate cutoff grades or overlooked valuable mineralization.Beyond silver-focused historical operations, Black Bear's technical review has identified multicommodity potential including zinc, lead, vanadium, and gold across multiple locations. Lindgren noted: "We're picking up really good levels of zinc and lead that we would consider as targets to go forward with." This creates potential by-product credits that could materially improve project economics whilst expanding exploration vectors beyond current silver-equivalent resource calculations.Silver's designation as a US critical mineral fundamentally alters the strategic context surrounding domestic production projects. America produces approximately 30 million ounces annually whilst consuming over 210 million ounces—importing roughly 85% of requirements despite the metal's critical status for national security and economic competitiveness. Lindgren articulated the supply-demand imbalance: "Having another US domestic asset that can actually supply into those markets we think is something that's very attractive particularly with it being critical now."Jurisdictional advantages strengthen Black Bear's development pathway. Texas ranks within the top five global mining jurisdictions with 20% tax rates, partial permitting already in place, and strong community support in Presidio County. Proximity to major Mexican silver operations ensures access to experienced workforce and established supply chains.Portfolio diversification comes through Independence Gold Project in Nevada, hosting 419,000 ounces of near-surface heap-leachable gold at 0.4 g/t and 980,000 ounces of high-grade skarn mineralisation at 6.67 g/t. The company recently completed 5,000 metres of drilling exceeding planned programmes, with assay results expected in early 2026.Management's measured approach prioritises resource definition and JORC compliance over premature production planning, appropriate given recent acquisition timing. However, the infrastructure leverage and critical mineral designation create optionality for accelerated development should commodity fundamentals, government support, or strategic partnerships materialise. Investors should monitor JORC conversion progress, drilling results from both projects, and infrastructure assessment studies as key milestones determining whether Black Bear can validate its high-grade silver thesis and capitalise on structural supply deficits facing American consumers.Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.comSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this profoundly moving and honest conversation, we sit down with Jeff Loving, a NICU dad, husband, and now an author, who shares the intimate and often unspoken grief experienced by fathers after pregnancy loss. Jeff walks us through the heartbreaking loss of his two sons, Davian and Jadon, the struggle to find empathy and appropriate medical care, and how these experiences ultimately led him and his wife, Cassie, to become fierce advocates for their future family. This episode is a raw look at marriage under immense stress, the importance of empathetic medical staff, and the redemptive joy of welcoming their "double rainbow" daughter, Isla Grace. Jeff also discusses his mission to help other men through their grief by writing his book, Holding Onto the Light. Key Discussion Points & Timestamps Time Topic Key Takeaway 00:06 Meet Jeff Loving: Husband, NICU Dad, and Author Jeff introduces his family, including his dog, Sage, his wife, Cassie, and their NICU "double rainbow" baby girl, Isla Grace, reflecting on five years of marriage and three pregnancies. 01:08 The Loss of Davian (First Pregnancy) Jeff describes the initial shock and excitement of their first pregnancy, the sudden onset of symptoms at 19 weeks, and the devastating choice they faced in the hospital due to an infection: lose the baby, or risk losing both the baby and his wife. 04:55 The Cruel Disconnect of Grief Jeff recounts the soul-crushing moment of holding his son, Davian, as his heartbeat stopped. He shares the struggle of navigating intense grief while the world—and Thanksgiving—kept moving around them. 07:58 Finding Support: The Power of Presence The discussion turns to how his family supported them by simply being present, rather than offering platitudes like "it's God's plan." The importance of showing up for grieving parents is highlighted. 11:21 Empathetic vs. Detached Care Jeff praises the nurses who were a "calming presence in the chaos" and later attended Davian's service. Conversely, he shares a painful anecdote about a male doctor's detached and jovial demeanor, asking if he wanted to cut the cord after the loss. 15:51 What Compassion Looks Like in Care Jeff shares what he wished the doctor had said: "I know this is very hard... just know that my heart breaks for you, and I'm so sorry that you guys are going through this." This is a vital lesson for medical professionals. 16:55 Marriage Under Stress After moving to North Carolina for a fresh start, Jeff discusses how the loss put their marriage under extreme stress—it would either break them or bond them deeper. They emerged stronger. 23:13 The Loss of Jadon (The Second Pregnancy) The traumatic situation repeats almost day-for-day with their second son, Jadon. Jeff details the medical system's failure to provide a cerclage procedure, despite repeated requests, and the resulting emergency. 26:45 The Audacity of Poor Communication Jeff recounts being livid when the doctor who denied them the preventive cerclage entered the room without him present to tell his wife they were losing their baby, and then left without speaking to Jeff. 34:20 The Blessing of Angel the Bereavement Coordinator Jeff shares the incredible support they received from their bereavement coordinator, Angel, who handled every detail from handprints to selecting clothes, even providing a moment of much-needed humor when she accidentally gave Jadon a hilarious nickname. 36:02 Remembrance Toys: Dino Dave and Jucletus The significance of tangible remembrance items, like a weighted dinosaur (Dino Dave) and a heartbeat bear (Jucletus), that allow Isla to connect with her "big brothers." 39:18 "This is Our Double Rainbow Child" Jeff discusses the difficulty of answering "Is this your first?" as a parent of loss, and how he now confidently speaks of Isla as their "double rainbow child." 42:03 A Resource for Fathers of Loss Jeff explains his motivation for writing his book, Holding Onto the Light: A Father's Journey Through Loss and Healing. He notes the lack of resources for grieving men and how he encapsulated real stories into a fictional narrative to help them feel seen and heard. 46:05 The Defining Moment The most powerful feedback: a man who hadn't read a book in a decade finally read Jeff's book after losing his son. 48:52 Where to Find the Book and Connect Jeff shares his book title, where to buy it, and the dedicated email address to build a community of grieving fathers.

Resource-Based Marketing: Choosing the Right Strategy for the Practice You Have Today In this solo episode, Kevin breaks down one of the most important — and most misunderstood — principles in building a thriving cash-based practice: resource-based marketing. Instead of chasing every shiny strategy, Kevin explains why the best marketing plan is the one that aligns with the resources you actually have in abundance right now — whether that's time, money, relationships, or skill set. Using real client examples, Kevin shows how two practice owners with completely different resources require completely different marketing approaches — and how choosing the wrong strategy leads to frustration, wasted money, and inconsistent caseloads. You'll learn how your resources evolve over time, why your marketing must shift as your business grows, and how to avoid the classic roller-coaster of feast-and-famine patient volume. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why there is no one-size-fits-all marketing strategy for healthcare practice owners How to identify whether you're time-rich, relationship-rich, financially-rich, or skill-set-rich Why some practitioners build full caseloads without ever spending a dollar on ads When Facebook ads, PPC, and paid strategies actually make sense — and when they're a terrible idea The hidden danger of relying on time-heavy strategies as your practice grows How to evolve from time & energy marketing to financial & systems marketing as your caseload expands Who This Episode Is For: Practice owners who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unclear about which marketing strategy will actually produce consistent results — and who want a principle-based approach instead of cookie-cutter tactics.

This episode tackles the complex challenge of applying the hardware-centric clauses of ISO 13485 to Software as a Medical Device (SaMD). Adnan Ashfaq, founder of Simply Medica, joins Etienne Nichols to dissect how traditional standards intended for physical manufacturing must be creatively interpreted for the virtual world of software development, where apps update weekly and cloud-based systems evolve in real-time. The conversation zeroes in on the often-muddy areas of production and service provision (Clause 7.5), emphasizing that these clauses are far from non-applicable, requiring a "virtual manufacturing space" mindset.A significant focus is placed on the Software of Unknown Provenance (SOUP), treating these building blocks as purchased components that require robust supplier evaluation and validation, bridging Clause 7.5 (production) with Clause 7.4 (purchasing). The discussion extends to crucial concepts like the Software Bill of Materials (SBoM), the complexity of Agile vs. Waterfall approaches within the standard's framework, and the essential role of the new FDA Computer Software Assurance (CSA) guidance in risk assessment.Beyond production, the experts explore the application of resource management (Clause 6), specifically addressing infrastructure, contamination control (malware/ransomware), and the critical need for a well-documented Design Transfer to Production (Clause 7.3.8) evidenced by a complete software release package, including all 62304 requirements.

What can I control when my world falls apart?2. What must I do to make it through today?3. What hope do I have for tomorrow?The answer = God's sovereignty + goodness = He will take my worst circumstances and use them for my best if I will trust Him and not bail out of His spiritual maturity process.I. The problem: sometimes we get “stuck” in our pain.II. The solution: God promises help for those who are “stuck.” -Jas. 1:5-8God's offer = supernatural WISDOMOur responsibility = to ASKGod's attitude when we come = OPEN & GENEROUSIII. The one condition: We receive God's wisdom only when we “ask in faith, without any doubting.”Conclusion: Four things you must do to get unstuck1. Admit you're stuck2.

Mining Stock Daily welcomes back Jay Martin, CEO of Cambridge House and host of the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference (VRIC). Martin describes the current gold market as a "most textbook bull market", noting the methodical trickle of capital from hard assets to large-cap equities and now toward funded developers and early-stage companies with world-class assets. The conversation delves into the macro drivers, particularly the fact that the United States government took in record tariff revenue in October but still ran the highest October budget deficit on record, underscoring a continuous spending problem.In the second segment, MSD Correspondent Michael McCrae sits down with David Garofalo, CEO of Gold Royalty. Garofalo details how Gold Royalty has rapidly expanded from 18 royalties at its inception to over 250 today, highlighting its superior growth profile in the royalty universe and focus on low-risk jurisdictions like Nevada, Quebec, and Ontario. The conversation addresses the landmark transaction where the stablecoin company Tether bought an 8% stake in Gold Royalty, which Garofalo views as bringing a new pool of capital into the sector, seeking diversification from U.S. treasuries into hard assets. He also offers insights into the gold sector's future, calling gold a currency driven by the debasement of fiat currencies and predicting continued M&A among producers due to a decade-long decline in reserves.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2 4:05pm- Speaking from the Oval Office, President Trump, alongside Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, announced a repeal of onerous fuel efficiency regulations put in place under the Biden administration. They had been designed to artificially boost electric vehicle manufacturing and sales. Trump described the policy shift as a win for consumers—as the previous efficiency standards led to higher prices on new vehicles. 4:40pm- Carrie Severino—President of the Judicial Crisis Network (JCN) & Co-Author of the book, “Justice on Trial: The Kavanaugh Confirmation and the Future of the Supreme Court.”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show. On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral argument in First Choice Women's Resource Centers v. Platkin.

How does that differ from saying ‘parent with trauma' or ‘healed parent'?Many caregivers feel haunted by an internal guilt that says, “How can I give what I never received?” How can parents or caregivers move from guilt to agency—without glossing over the pain?What are the 5 post-traumatic parenting defaults you identify in your book?

Civil Procedure: Where the subject of a state investigatory demand has established a reasonably objective chill of its First Amendment rights, is a federal court in a first-filed action deprived of jurisdiction because those rights must be adjudicated in state court? - Argued: Tue, 02 Dec 2025 16:31:7 EDT
5/8. Guano, Tragedy, and the Rise of Intensive Farming — Steven Moss — Moss discusses seabird guano (nutrient-rich droppings), first recognized as a valuable resource by the Incas and subsequently monetized by William Gibbs, who accumulated immense wealth trading guano from arid Peruvian islands. Moss emphasizes that guano harvesting occurred under tragic human conditions, with Chinese indentured laborers frequently dying during extraction operations. Mossnotes that declining guano availability stimulated the invention of synthetic fertilizers by Haber and Bosch, catalyzing the emergence of intensive chemical agriculture. Moss documents that high-intensity chemical farming, despite enabling global food production, precipitated catastrophic declines in bird and insect populations, a phenomenon extensively documented in Rachel Carson's seminal work Silent Spring. 1880
2/4. Naming OSIRIS-REx and Overcoming Major Hurdles — Dante Lauretta — Following successive rejections, Lauretta systematically defined the mission's core scientific objectives—Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security—establishing the OSIRIS framework and subsequently designating the mission OSIRIS-REx(Regolith Explorer). The mission received formal selection in 2011, and Mike Drake, serving as Lauretta's mentor while managing significant personal health challenges, designated Lauretta as "risk mitigation" leader. The team confronted and resolved critical technical obstacles, particularly the guidance system architecture, during the rigorous 2014 NASA review process, successfully enabling the planned 2016 launch. 1955
