The 1% in Recovery Successful Gamblers & Alcoholics Stopping Addiction
Text and Be HeardSports betting didn't just get bigger; it got faster, simpler, and stickier. We dig into how “responsible gambling” became the industry's soft sell while the real engine—microbetting, live props, and algorithmic nudges—pushes users toward rapid, compulsive loops. Our guest shares why he walked away from a sportsbook-backed media role and how the game changed once wagers moved from the window to the phone, from a weekend bet to constant yes or no clicks designed to escalate.We get real about who's most at risk: 18 to 24-year-olds with competitive fire, athletes who think their game IQ protects them, and families that unknowingly normalize “small” parlays. The warning is clear and actionable—delete the apps, avoid the group chats that make betting feel normal, and redirect that energy into training, study, and long-term investing that compounds rather than consumes. Along the way, we unpack the broader wellness bill: sleep erosion, worse food choices, hijacked attention, and a nervous system stuck on high alert. This isn't only a money problem; it's mental, emotional, and physiological.We also challenge false comfort from league policies and integrity talk. Trimming limits on a few markets won't fix a product built for speed and repetition. What moves the needle is early prevention, honest education in schools and gyms, and accessible support that isn't steered by industry partnerships. If states collect treatment dollars, people should be able to use them—yet access stays hard while advertising stays easy. We argue for a public health approach that puts player protection and prevention first and offers clear alternatives that build wealth and well-being over time.If this resonates, share it with someone who needs a straight answer about betting apps.

For years, experts, educators and parents have sounded alarms about the dangers of kids spending too much time on screens and now, artificial intelligence could make some apps even more addicting. A trial started this week in a Los Angeles court on a lawsuit against Meta and YouTube that claims social media companies are responsible for the harmful effects of screen addiction on minors. Nearly a thousand similar cases are expected to go to trial this year nationwide. We'll talk about the lawsuits, consequences of social media addiction in the age of AI and efforts to hold companies accountable.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton tackle a reality many first responders experience—but few admit: getting promoted doesn't automatically fix burnout. The rank goes up. The responsibility expands. The expectations multiply. And yet, the exhaustion, irritability, and sense of depletion remain—or even intensify. This episode explores why promotions often amplify burnout instead of relieving it, and what leaders can do to regain energy, purpose, and clarity without stepping away from service.

In small villages, bustling cities, and crowded ghettos across early modern Europe, Jewish women were increasingly active participants in the daily life of their communities, managing homes and professions, leading institutions and sororities, and crafting objects and texts of exquisite beauty. In their book, A Woman Is Responsible for Everything: Jewish Women in Early Modern Europe (Princeton UP, 2025), Debra Kaplan and Elisheva Carlebach marshal a dazzling array of previously untapped archival sources to tell the stories of these woman for the first time.Kaplan and Carlebach focus their lens on the kehillah, a lively and thriving form of communal life that sustained European Jews for three centuries. They paint vibrant portraits of Jewish women of all walks of life, from those who wielded their wealth and influence in and out of their communities to the poorest maidservants and vagrants, from single and married women to the widowed and divorced. We follow them into their homes and learn about the possessions they valued and used, the books they read, and the writings they composed. Speaking to us in their own voices, these women reveal tremendous economic initiative in the rural marketplace and the princely court, and they express their profound spirituality in the home as well as the synagogue.Beautifully illustrated, A Woman Is Responsible for Everything lifts the veil of silence that has obscured the lives of these women for too long, contributing a new chapter to the history of Jewish women and a new understanding of the Jewish past. Interviewees: Debra Kaplan is the Samuel Braun Chair for the History of the Jews in Germany at Bar-Ilan University. Elisheva Carlebach is Salo Wittmayer Baron Professor of Jewish History, Culture, and Society, at Columbia University.

It's Tuesday, January 27th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Iran Int'l News reports 36,500 protestors killed by Islamic regime As The Worldview reported yesterday, the latest report of the death count for the recent Iranian protests is now at 36,500, according to Iran International News. (audio of Iranian officials shooting unarmed protestors) This information reportedly comes from Interior Ministry documents. The government carried out 4,000 clashes at various locations around the country over a two-day period earlier in the month. Iran's Health Ministry also revealed that the hospitals in the country performed 13,000 surgeries following the protests. Iran's internet blackout is going into its 19th day today. Iran International also reports that government officials are still carrying out “extrajudicial killings, deaths under torture, and the systematic mistreatment of detainees and their families.” Several of our sources have reported multiple Christians killed in the conflict. Communist Chinese president purged military generals China's President and Communist Party General Secretary Xi Jinping has completed his purge of military generals, beginning with top brass Zhang Youxia and at least 17 other generals, reports NTDTV.com. The Economist called this “the largest political purge of the military's top ranks since Mao Zedong's death in 1976.” Assaults on ICE officers increased by 1,300% in 2025 over 2024 Public protests are increasing in the United States. Last year, the Crowd Counting Consortium counted 10,700 protests in the U.S. That's a 133% increase over 2024. So far this month, there have been 628 protests, the largest of which have centered in Minnesota, Illinois, and California. Disturbingly, the protests have increased in violence. The Department of Homeland Security recently reported a 1,300% increase in assaults against I.C.E. officers in 2025 (over the previous year), and a 3,200% increase in vehicular attacks. Rest assured, where human justice may fail, Ecclesiastes 12:14 assures us that “God shall bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil.” Shooting death of Minneapolis man sparks gun control debate The January 24th fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis by law enforcement has sparked a debate on gun control. Apparently, the protester was armed at the time of his encounter with the I.C.E. agent. Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli took to X, commenting that, "If you approach law enforcement with a gun, there is a high likelihood they will be legally justified in shooting you." However, the pro-gun group, the National Rifle Association, said, "Responsible public voices should be awaiting a full investigation, not making generalizations and demonizing law-abiding citizens.” Plus, Gun Owners for America noted, "The Second Amendment protects Americans' right to bear arms while protesting ‒ a right the federal government must not infringe upon." GOP Rep. Thomas Massie and Barack Obama weigh in on ICE killing GOP U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky also jumped into the fray. He said, ”Carrying a firearm is not a death sentence; it's a Constitutionally-protected, God-given right. And, if you don't understand this, you have no business in law enforcement or government." No comment from the liberal media on Mr. Pretti's choice to carry a gun to the protest. Then, former President Barack Obama took to X on Sunday to encourage the American public to “support and draw inspiration from” what he calls “the peaceful protests in Minneapolis.” Satan worshippers thank Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz Speaking of Minnesota, Republican State Representative Pam Altendorf revealed on video a disturbing display recognizing Satan in the state Capitol. ALTENDORF: “As I was leaving my committee meeting today here earlier, I noticed that there is a new display here at the State Capitol, and it's for Governor [Tim] Walz.” The inscription says, “The Democratic Coalition of Satan Worshippers thanks Gov. Tim Walz for not standing in the way of spreading Satanism in the state Capitol building.” Rep. Altendorf concluded with this. ALTENDORF: “Yes, everyone, this is true. I am live, not making this up. You can't make this up. (laughs) I don't know why a governor of a state would want this plaque, but there it is. “The Satan worshipers have thanked Governor Tim Walz, and let me repeat this. The last line says, ‘Satan has a special place for you.' I'm speechless.” In Exodus 20:3, God revealed to Moses atop Mt. Sinai, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” Charismatic leader accused of “fabricated” prophecies and sexual sin The charismatic church is taking more hits from reports concerning alleged scandalous activities of a homosexual nature. Shawn Bolz was platformed by Bethel over a period of ten years. Bethel leadership now admits to have continued platforming Bolz despite their knowing of his “fabricated” prophecies and alleged sexual sin, reports CBN News. Multiple Christian news organizations have headlined this new revelation in an ongoing series of scandals in the evangelical/charismatic church involving Bill Hybels, Carl Lentz, Mike Bickel, Brian Houston, T.D. Jakes, Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, and Jimmy Swaggart. The deluge of scandals has taken its toll on the nation. Public trust in pastors here is now the lowest in recorded history. According to Lifeway Research, only 27% of Americans say they have a high trust in pastors, down from an average of 56% between 2000 and 2009. Here's a reminder from 1 Corinthians 11:31 and 32. “If we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.” Gold and silver prices soar Gold and silver prices continue to soar. Now, $5,100 per ounce for gold, up from $2,600 just a year ago, reports Reuters. And silver today is $110 per pounce, up from $30 a year ago. 36 states consider anti-transgender bills And finally, at last count, 36 state governments are floating 366 bills which would put the brakes on the advance of “transgender rights,” limit the public display of drag queens, and allow religious exemptions for churches, schools, and businesses that are morally opposed to homosexuality and transgenderism.

You don't need more leadership garnish. You need a better base. In the kitchen, that base is mirepoix—carrot, celery, onion. In leadership, it's the same: three core ingredients show up in every hard conversation, every decision under pressure, every moment your team is silently asking: Can I trust you? Are we clear? The Leadership Mirepoix Integrity Emotional Intelligence Clarity Data point (because receipts matter): Gallup found only 13% of employees strongly agree leadership communicates effectively—so clarity isn't common… which means it's a competitive advantage. In this episode, you'll learn: Why pressure reveals your defaults (heat reveals the recipe) How authenticity lives inside integrity (and what authenticity is not) How EQ creates psychological safety—and why your nervous system “broadcasts” The 3-part formula for real clarity: meaning, direction, agreements The “chef's kiss” transparency script that builds trust without oversharing Episode Timestamps: 00:00 — Why leadership needs a better base (not more garnish) 02:00 — Heat reveals the recipe: pressure + defaults 03:30 — Ingredient #1: Integrity (authenticity inside it) 06:40 — Emotional bank account: trust deposits + withdrawals 09:20 — Ingredient #2: Emotional Intelligence (empathy as EQ in action) 11:10 — Psychological safety (Project Aristotle) 13:45 — Mini practice: “emotional weather” in 10 seconds 16:10 — Ingredient #3: Clarity (clean communication) 19:00 — Chef's kiss: name the moment/intention/ask 21:30 — Recipe card recap in 60 seconds 23:00 — When “garnish” becomes over-explaining 24:40 — Closing + review Key Takeaways: Integrity: Trust is built through tiny receipts—follow-through, repairs, consistency. Emotional Intelligence: Your nervous system sets the tone; presence creates safety. Clarity: Meaning + direction + agreements = momentum. Chef's kiss: Responsible transparency that moves things forward.

Hello to you listening in Mountain View, California!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga. Hand on heart: I can still behave like an over-stretched, over-committed, dutiful, responsible, and driven first-born daughter. Do it right or don't do it at all.Maybe like me you find yourself doing it all wrong by trying to do it all right. We have these notions--born of long-ago outdated, outmoded stories--about what we're supposed to do, have, create, earn, market, publish, reconfigure, reorganize, envision, and connect. But I can't and I don't want to do it all perfectly. I want to Be rather messy in my life. Practical Tip: Let's stop for a moment. How would it feel if we “should” less on our own good selves? What if - even for a moment - we invite the power of the pause, peace and space. Did you just breathe a deep sigh of relief? Perhaps drop your shoulders? Maybe even smile at your silly human self? Me, too. You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

Being responsible shouldn't feel this heavy, but for many women, it does. In this episode, I explore why responsibility becomes so exhausting for high-performing women who care deeply, lead well, and carry more than most people see. This isn't about decision-making or doing too much; it's about the hidden weight of feeling responsible for outcomes, people, and stability. If you've ever made the “right” decision and still felt drained… if you find yourself carrying things long after you should've been able to put them down… this conversation will help you name what's actually happening, without shame or pressure to fix yourself. This episode is part of an ongoing conversation about emotional clarity, steadiness under pressure, and learning how to carry responsibility without losing yourself in the process.

We came up short a guest this week, so it's just the three hosts talking about a true classic where a whole town of people get taken out by some angry pigeons. But the real story of this thing is the red hot chemistry between Tippi Hedron and Suzanne Pleshette as Melanie and Annie. Sure, they're talking about a man that both of them claim to have the hots for, but the only chemistry happening is this slow burn yuri.Who's Responsible for this?Director: Alfred HitchcockWriters: Daphne Du Maurier, Evan HunterStars: Tippi Hedron, Rod Taylor, Jessica Tandy, Suzanne Pleshette, Veronica CartwrightWhat to check out next:Emily- THX 1138 Ben - Peacemaker season 2Jeremy - The Man who Knew to much, Rear WindowTake our listener survey: http://bit.ly/progressivelyhorrified-surveySign up to support Progressively Horrified on Patreon for as little as $5 a month and get bonus episodes! https://www.patreon.com/c/progressivelyhorrified Hosted on Acast.

Do members of Congress vote differently when they are worried about winning their party's primary election? On today's episode, Ethan and Wioletta interview Anthony about his forthcoming paper, “Do Primary Elections Exacerbate Congressional Polarization?,” which is forthcoming from the Journal of Politics. Using detailed voting data and the natural variation in primary election timing across states, Anthony and his co-author, Shu Fu, show that primaries play a surprisingly small role in pushing lawmakers to the ideological extremes—accounting for only about 1% of congressional polarization.

Most people are taught to buy term insurance and invest the rest—but what if that advice is based on a massive misunderstanding of how life insurance actually works? In this episode, we break down why dividend-paying whole life insurance is fundamentally misclassified, how insurance companies really make money, and why Nelson Nash believed banking, not investing, was the missing piece. In WTB Episode 253, we continue our deep dive into Becoming Your Own Banker by Nelson Nash, focusing on mortality tables, underwriting, modified endowment contracts (MECs), and why whole life insurance behaves more like a banking system than an insurance product. We explore: Why term insurance is incredibly profitable for insurance companies How underwriting selects for people who actually live longer Why retirement at 65 was built on a flawed assumption How MEC rules really work (and why they're not the end of the world) Why universal life, variable life, and indexed UL fail long-term How to properly structure a whole life policy for Infinite Banking If you've ever been told "whole life is bad," this episode explains where that belief came from—and why it persists. Key Takeaways: Death is not an if—it's a when, and insurance should be structured accordingly Term insurance is statistically designed not to pay out Responsible, underwritten individuals live longer—and insurers know it Whole life insurance is misclassified, leading to bad financial decisions Infinite Banking works best when cash value is prioritized over death benefit MEC policies aren't catastrophic—but understanding the rules matters Chapters: (00:00) – Why the insurance industry misunderstands its own products (05:50) – Mortality tables, underwriting, and who actually lives longer (10:52) – Retirement at 65 and the Social Security fallacy (18:03) – MEC rules, overfunding, and policy design explained (31:27) – Why universal, variable, and indexed life insurance fail (39:21) – Why Infinite Banking is caught, not taught

True leverage is about multiplying leaders! In this solo episode, BJ explores the concept of leadership and leverage and shares why he believes that leaders are actually levers. Tuning in, you'll hear all about what to consider when thinking about leverage, the power of discerning leverage properly, and how the 80/20 rule can help leaders. BJ delves into the importance of leveraging and protecting your time before discussing the difference between responsible and irresponsible leverage. BJ even talks about systems, why they're imperative, and why bad systems are problematic. Finally, we touch on the idea that people aren't leverage, their growth is. To hear all this and even be challenged to consider how you are discerning your leverage, be sure to listen now! Key Points From This Episode:What leadership actually is and why leaders are levers. BJ explains the 80/20 rule and what it means for leaders. Responsible leverage versus irresponsible leverage. The difference between true leverage and fake leverage. Three things to ask yourself this week to be a better leader. Quotes:“Leverage without discernment and wisdom turns into burnout, overextension, anxiety, or – using people instead of developing them.” — BJ Kraemer “Leadership requires us to constantly ask, ‘Where am I spending time that someone else can grow into [or] – that I might be able to delegate to somebody? – Where am I holding onto work that's preventing scalability? Where might I be confusing activity with impact or results?'” — BJ Kraemer“Time is the only resource that you can't get more of.” — BJ Kraemer “If your organization or family relies on your heroic effort to function, you don't have a leadership problem, you have a systems problem.” — BJ Kraemer Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:The ONE ThingBuy Back Your TimeLeadership Blueprints PodcastLeadership Blueprints Podcast on YouTubeMCFAMCFA CareersBJ Kraemer on LinkedIn
This episode was a back to basics show. Simple stuff that we all need reminding about day to day in order to stay sharp. This is also the exact type of information to give to people new to prepping, especially the totally unprepared that “don't get it”. We all have fiends like that right? So many people seem to believe you are either some sort of “extreme doomsday prepper” or you are just normal. I say that the way most people not normal. I am talking about adults here and adults should be first and foremost responsible. Responsible first for … Continue reading →
What if the thing you're avoiding is the very thing holding you back? Accountability often gets a bad reputation — as pressure, control, or punishment. But what if accountability is actually the key to freedom, clarity, and sustainable success? In this episode, we explore why so many leaders feel stuck even though they "know what to do," and how ownership — not excuses — is what creates real momentum. Robert Hunt is the founder of REF Dallas, a CEO peer group and leadership platform he's grown since 2013. Known as "The Accountability Guy," Robert helps leaders reclaim ownership of their time, mindset, and results through peer groups, executive coaching, and purpose-driven leadership. In this conversation, Robert shares his journey into entrepreneurship, why accountability became the foundation of his work, and how leaders can break free from victim thinking to lead with clarity, integrity, and purpose. From Frustration to Purpose-Driven Leadership Robert's path to entrepreneurship wasn't planned. After years of leading marketing and sales teams, he grew frustrated watching organizations talk about values without living them out. That frustration pushed him to start REF Dallas — not to build another business, but to create a space where CEOs could be real, vulnerable, and accountable without fear or agendas. What started as a leap of faith became a long-standing community where leaders stay for years. Robert explains why safe environments matter for growth, how peer groups create clarity, and why accountability only works when leaders actually want it. Why Accountability Is the Real Power Move At the heart of Robert's philosophy is a simple truth: you can't hold anyone accountable — they have to choose it. He breaks down the four traps that keep leaders stuck — blame, excuses, "I can't," and waiting — and explains how accountability shifts leaders from victimhood into ownership. When leaders model accountability themselves, they create cultures where people want to rise rather than hide. Robert also shares how defining your purpose, understanding your values, and owning your choices creates freedom not just in business, but in relationships, finances, and life. Enjoy this episode with Robert Hunt… Soundbytes 08:18 – 08:26 "The reality is nobody can hold anyone accountable. You can create an environment, you can try to create an environment where they want to be accountable, but it's totally up to them." 26:03 – 26:10 "So we wanted to help people understand there's real power in freedom and accountability. It's not a threat. It's not a bad thing. You want to be accountable. It's freedom." Quotes "When you own something, you gain the power to change it. When you don't own it, you're a victim of the circumstances." "Responsible is doing something. Accountable is owning it. And accountable is proactive." "Nobody wants to be a victim. When you own something, you gain the power to change it." "I think people think they're being accountable, but they're really just being responsible. And that's a very different thing."

Gary Brown is a former attorney and CPA who ditched billable hours for buildings, turning a brotherly townhouse-flipping side hustle into Furnished Quarters, one of the largest corporate housing providers in the U.S. He leads a service-first operation across major markets like New York, Boston/Cambridge, and the Bay Area, blending tech, design, and a very real "stuff breaks at 3am" mindset. Susan and Gary talk about service, standards, and survival stories. • Why corporate housing is hospitality first and real estate second • Service recovery that actually keeps clients calm when everything goes sideways • Move-in magic that prevents the "week one complaint festival" • Inspection systems that catch tiny problems before guests do • Communication rhythms that build trust when lights go out or floods happen • Setting expectations for big-city living without scaring people off • Relationship selling that lands major accounts and keeps the pipeline moving • Conference strategy that works pre-event, not just at the cocktail hour *** Our Top Three Takeaways 1. Corporate housing succeeds or fails on service, not real estate. While the apartment itself is the barrier to entry, Gary is clear that it represents only a small fraction of what defines a great stay. The real differentiator is hospitality-level service: constant communication, fast problem resolution, and setting expectations when things inevitably go wrong. Corporate housing, in his view, should be run like a 24/7 hospitality operation, not a passive real estate business. 2. The first day of a stay determines everything that follows. Move-in is the most critical moment in the guest experience. Furnished Quarters invests heavily in inspections, buffer days between stays, detailed arrival instructions, and proactive outreach after arrival. Many complaints can be avoided entirely by over-preparing for that first impression and by addressing small issues before they turn into frustration. 3. Strong relationships and preparedness outperform tactics in sales and growth. Whether discussing conferences, entertainment clients, or long-term partnerships, Gary emphasizes that success comes from relationship selling and advance work. Deals are rarely made by chance. They are built through consistent presence, pre-scheduled meetings, local involvement, and long-term commitment to the market. This same mindset applies operationally when things go wrong: recovery and trust-building matter more than perfection.

117. Ibogaine Therapy Safety & Ethics: What Responsible Care Really Looks LikeA grounded conversation on ibogaine therapy safety and ethics—covering medical oversight, risks, integration, and responsible psychedelic care.Episode SummaryIbogaine is often described as a breakthrough for addiction, trauma, and PTSD—but it's also one of the most medically complex psychedelic therapies in use today. In this episode, April Pride sits down with Tom Feegel and Talia Eisenberg, co-founders of Beond Ibogaine, to explore what ethical, medically supported ibogaine care actually requires.Together, they unpack the difference between iboga and ibogaine, why cardiac screening and clinical monitoring are non-negotiable, and how integration—not intensity—is where real change happens. Talia shares her personal recovery story, Tom explains Beond's safety-first model, and April grounds the conversation in harm reduction, nervous system care, and responsibility. This episode will help you understand the real risks, the emerging science, and the ethical questions shaping ibogaine's future—without hype or shortcuts.
Send us a textReady to move forward and change your life : Click here for FREE MasterclassEver wonder why you jump in to fix, smooth, and stabilize before anyone even asks? In this episode, we unpack the neurobiology of over-responsibility-how a highly attuned brain and nervous system can mistake other people's tension for a threat to your own safety.Rather than shaming the instinct to help, we examine how early somatic learning shapes this pattern. Long before conscious choice, your nervous system learned through tone of voice, silence, micro-expressions, and relational rupture that intervening reduces uncertainty. That reduction in uncertainty creates relief via dopaminergic and limbic pathways - not because stepping in is always aligned with your values, but because it temporarily restores predictability.Dr Amen Kaur will walk through the neuroscience behind this loop, including:the medial prefrontal cortex, integrating self–other representationsthe temporoparietal junction, amplifying perspective-taking and responsibility attributionthe superior temporal gyrus, decoding social meaning and implicit cuesthe anterior insula, mapping interoceptive signals and threat salienceWhen this network is chronically activated, unresolved situations register as bodily alarms. Action becomes regulation. Regulation becomes identity. Over time, the cost isn't just fatigue - it's stalled careers, capped earning potential, constrained leadership, and creative energy siphoned into managing other people's emotional states.You'll also learn how passive nonverbal control - withdrawal, disappointment, ambiguity, subtle neediness - can recruit you into action without a single request, and why guilt or anxiety spikes when you resist. These reactions aren't moral failures; they're predictable outputs of a sensitized regulatory system. So its NOT YOU - its something you can unlearn somaticallyFinally, we pivot to change. You'll learn a brief, neurobiologically informed pause that brings prefrontal cognition online so sensation becomes data, not command. We explore a reframing that separates responsibility from regulation, allowing boundaries to register as safety rather than threat. A real client example shows how breaking the caretaker loop at work restored agency, redirected talent, and unlocked growth that had been stalled for years.If you're ready to stop sacrificing your
Do you find yourself being the one everyone relies on — the responsible one, the capable one, the one who holds everything together?

Russia's Role as a Stabilizing Factor in Middle East Tensions. Guest: ANATOL LIEVEN, Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. Russia has reportedly arbitrated between Jerusalem and Tehran to prevent preemptive strikes and maintain stability in Eurasia.

In this episode of The Purpose Show, I'm speaking to the woman who's always been the capable one—the steady one everyone relies on. We're talking about the quiet cost of being responsible for everything, and how competence can slowly turn into disconnection from yourself. I unpack why being good at handling things doesn't mean you have endless capacity, how functioning gets mistaken for alignment, and why so many women feel present for everyone else but absent from their own lives. I also share gentle, practical ways to begin reconnecting with yourself without blowing up your life or losing the parts of you that are strong. If life technically works but you don't feel like you anymore, this episode will help you understand why—and offer a softer way forward.

1. Current Situation in Iran Over one million Iranians are protesting against the regime in major cities. The Iranian leadership has shut down the internet, phones, and media to suppress information and maintain control. Protesters are risking their lives; acts of defiance include burning hijabs and removing religious coverings in public. 2. Historical Context References to the 1979 Islamic Revolution and the U.S. hostage crisis (444 days). Comparison of Jimmy Carter’s weak foreign policy to Barack Obama and Joe Biden, arguing that weakness emboldens adversaries. Contrast with Ronald Reagan’s strong stance, which led to the release of hostages and eventual Soviet collapse. 3. Iran’s Role in Global Terrorism Iran funds over 90% of Hamas and Hezbollah budgets. Responsible for IED attacks and the deaths of 593+ American service members in Iraq and Afghanistan. Iran manufactures drones used by Russia in Ukraine. Allegations that Iran plotted to assassinate Donald Trump. 4. U.S. Foreign Policy and Leadership Strong emphasis on “Peace through Strength” as advocated by Reagan and Trump. Trump’s recent actions (e.g., military strikes, bunker-buster bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities) portrayed as decisive. Trump’s public message: “Iran is looking at freedom… USA stands ready to help.” 5. Why Regime Change Matters The fall of Iran’s regime would be transformational for Middle East stability and U.S. security. Advocates for regime change without boots on the ground, using diplomatic, economic, and informational support. Compares potential Iranian revolution to the fall of the Berlin Wall and collapse of the Soviet Union. 6. Role of Media and Messaging Iranian state TV is allegedly broadcasting Tucker Carlson interviews in Persian as propaganda. Criticism of voices opposing U.S. involvement or promoting isolationism. Emphasis on using platforms like podcasts and Starlink internet access to reach Iranians and encourage freedom. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

From Rescue to Responsible Breeding: Why Education Is the Future of Dog Breeding [caption id="attachment_14935" align="alignleft" width="448"] Rebecca Norton-Childs is the founder of Pupstarts breeder education program in the UK.[/caption] In this powerful international conversation, host Laura Reeves welcomes Rebecca Norton-Childs — a UK-based educator and founder of a nationally accredited dog breeder training program — to discuss why education, intention and responsibility are critical to the future of dog breeding. Rebecca's journey began on the front lines of rescue and animal control, where she witnessed firsthand the heartbreaking consequences of poor breeding practices, inadequate early socialization and uninformed ownership. Rather than adopting a “don't breed dogs” mindset, Rebecca chose a different path: breed better dogs — and teach others how to do the same. In this episode, we explore how her experiences in rescue shaped her belief that ethical, knowledgeable breeders are essential to improving canine welfare. Rebecca explains how breeder education in the UK has evolved into nationally accredited qualifications.. Listeners will gain insight into: Why early neurological stimulation and puppy socialization start with the breederHow education empowers breeders to confidently match puppies with the right homesThe role of behavior science, epigenetics and modern husbandry in producing stable dogsWhy breeding dogs should be viewed as aprofession, not a hobby Rebecca also shares how her programs foster a judgment-free, global community of breeders committed to learning, sharing knowledge, and putting dogs first — regardless of breed, discipline or purpose. This episode is a must-listen for everyone who believes the future of purebred dogs depends on intentional breeding, informed decisions and lifelong learning.
SHOW1-8-2026THE SHOW BEGINS IN DOUBTS ABOUT THE SARCASTIC INVENTION, THE DON-ROE DICTRINE..SPHERES OF INFLUENCE AND THE RETURN OF THE MONROE DOCTRINE Colleague Anatol Lieven, Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. Anatol Lieven argues that "spheres of influence" have returned, with the US reasserting the Monroe Doctrine in the Western Hemisphere and threatening to seize Greenland. Unlike traditional alliances, this approach risks alienating fellow democracies. Lieven contrasts this with Russia's territorial ambitions in the former Soviet Union and China's historic regional goals. NUMBER 1COLD WAR TACTICS: THE SEIZURE OF A RUSSIAN TANKER Colleague Anatol Lieven, Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. Lieven discusses the US Navy's detention of a Russian-flagged ship in the North Atlantic, viewing it as a dangerous escalation akin to piracy. This move humiliates Moscow and aims to control oil supplies. Lieven warns that if European nations mimic these seizures, Russia may retaliate violently, risking a direct war. NUMBER 2THE SUPREME COURT AND THE MYTH OF THE UNITARY EXECUTIVE Colleague Richard Epstein, Civitas Institute. Richard Epstein challenges the view that the Roberts Court blindly supports a "unitary executive." He argues the Court is correctly questioning the constitutionality of independent administrative agencies, like the FTC, which insulate officials from presidential removal. Epstein contends that relying on case counts ignores the specific legal merits regarding separation of powers. NUMBER 3TRUMP V. ILLINOIS: LIMITING PRESIDENTIAL POWER OVER THE NATIONAL GUARD Colleague Richard Epstein, Civitas Institute. Discussing a recent unsigned Supreme Court order, Epstein notes the Court upheld a decision preventing the President from deploying the National Guard without a governor's consent. This ruling contradicts claims of judicial bias toward the executive, affirming that the President cannot simply declare an emergency to override state sovereignty. NUMBER 4ONE YEAR LATER: ANGER AND STAGNATION AFTER THE PALISADES FIRE Colleague Jeff Bliss, Pacific Watch. A year after the Palisades fires, Jeff Bliss reports that residents remain angry over government inaction. Rebuilding is stalled by the Coastal Commission's strict regulations, and fuel loads in canyons remain high due to environmental restrictions on brush clearing. The fires, driven by Santa Ana winds, highlight systemic bureaucratic failures in Los Angeles. NUMBER 5#SCALAREPORT: AI AND ROBOTICS DOMINATE CES Colleague Chris Riegel, CEO of Scala.com. Reporting from CES, Chris Riegel highlights the dominance of AI and robotics, from household droids to military applications. While the tech sector booms with massive infrastructure spending, Riegel warns of a "K-shaped" economy where Main Street struggles with softening demand, masking the wealth concentrated in artificial intelligence and data centers. NUMBER 6LANCASTER COUNTY: AMISH SPENDING AND DATA CENTER GROWTH Colleague Jim McTague, Author and Former Barron's Editor. Jim McTague reports that the Lancaster County economy remains robust, evidenced by heavy Amish spending at Costco and thriving local businesses like Kegel's Produce. Despite some local protests, data centers are being built on old industrial sites. McTague sees no need for Fed rate cuts given the stable local economy. NUMBER 7THE NUCLEAR ESCROW: MANAGING PROLIFERATION AMONG ALLIES Colleague Henry Sokolski, Nonproliferation Policy Education Center. Henry Sokolski warns that allies like Poland, Turkey, and South Africaare considering nuclear weapons due to eroding trust in US guarantees. He proposes a "nuclear escrow" account: storing refurbished warheads in the US for allies to deploy only during crises, providing leverage without permanently stationing targets on foreign soil. NUMBER 8THE SIEGE OF 717 AND THE VOLCANO OF THERA Colleague Professor Ed Watts, Author of The Romans. In 717 AD, Arab forces besieged Constantinople but failed due to the city's massive walls and "Greek fire." Professor Watts explains that a subsequent volcanic eruption in Thera was interpreted as divine punishment for the empire's sins, leading to a spiritual crisis and the rise of iconoclasm to appease God. NUMBER 9THE STUPIDITY OF SUCCESSORS: MANUEL AND ANDRONICUS Colleague Professor Ed Watts, Author of The Romans. Manuel Komnenos favored grand gestures over systemic stability, weakening the Roman state. His successor, Andronicus, was a nihilistic sadist whose tyranny and family infighting destabilized the empire. Watts details how the refusal to punish rebellious family members created a culture of impunity that eventually led to a violent overthrow. NUMBER 10THE CRUSADES: FROM COOPERATION TO CONFLICT Colleague Professor Ed Watts, Author of The Romans. Relations between East and West collapsed during the Crusades. While the First Crusade cooperated with Rome, the Second and Third turned hostile, with Crusaders seizing territory rather than returning it. Watts notes that the theological schism of 1054 and cultural distrust entrenched this division, setting the stage for future betrayal. NUMBER 111204: THE SACK OF CONSTANTINOPLE AND THE END OF CONTINUITY Colleague Professor Ed Watts, Author of The Romans. The Fourth Crusade, diverted by Venetian debt, sacked Constantinople in 1204, burning the city to quell resistance. Watts argues this marked the true end of the ancient Roman state. The meritocratic system collapsed, and elites like Nicetas Choniates lost everything, severing the 2,000-year political continuity of the empire. NUMBER 12VENEZUELA: THE REGIME SURVIVES MADURO'S EXIT Colleague Mary Anastasia O'Grady, Wall Street Journal. Despite Maduro's removal, the Venezuelan regime remains intact under hardliners Delcy Rodriguez and Diosdado Cabello. Mary Anastasia O'Grady notes that repression continues, and European oil companies are hesitant to invest. The regime feigns cooperation to avoid US intervention, but genuine recovery is impossible without restoring the rule of law. NUMBER 13RUSSIA'S OIL CRISIS AND REGIONAL DEFICITS Colleague Michael Bernstam, Hoover Institution. Russiafaces a financial crisis as oil prices drop below $60 per barrel. Michael Bernstam explains that increased global supply forces Russia to sell at deep discounts to China and India, often below cost. This revenue loss prevents the Kremlinfrom paying soldiers, sparking severe regional budget deficits. NUMBER 14EUROPEAN FREEZE AND THE MYTH OF BOOTS ON THE GROUND Colleague Simon Constable, Journalist and Author. A deep freeze hits Southern Europe while commodity prices like copper rise. Simon Constable reports on the UK's bleak economic mood and dismisses the feasibility of British or French "boots on the ground" in Ukraine. He notes that depleted military manpower makes such guarantees declarative rather than substantial. NUMBER 15ARTEMIS 2 RISKS AND THE SEARCH FOR LIFE IN SPACE Colleague Bob Zimmerman, BehindtheBlack.com. Bob Zimmerman urges NASA to fly Artemis 2 unmanned due to unresolved Orion heat shield damage, arguing safety should trump beating China. He also dismisses concerns about lunar methane contamination and highlights a new study suggesting ice caps could allow liquid water lakes to exist on Mars. NUMBER 16
COLD WAR TACTICS: THE SEIZURE OF A RUSSIAN TANKER Colleague Anatol Lieven, Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. Lieven discusses the US Navy's detention of a Russian-flagged ship in the North Atlantic, viewing it as a dangerous escalation akin to piracy. This move humiliates Moscow and aims to control oil supplies. Lieven warns that if European nations mimic these seizures, Russia may retaliate violently, risking a direct war. NUMBER 21962 CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS
SPHERES OF INFLUENCE AND THE RETURN OF THE MONROE DOCTRINE Colleague Anatol Lieven, Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. Anatol Lieven argues that "spheres of influence" have returned, with the US reasserting the Monroe Doctrine in the Western Hemisphere and threatening to seize Greenland. Unlike traditional alliances, this approach risks alienating fellow democracies. Lieven contrasts this with Russia's territorial ambitions in the former Soviet Union and China's historic regional goals. NUMBER 11893 GREENLAND
