This episode of Inside the Vault with Ash Cash features entrepreneur, coach, and salon suite mogul Patrice “Sway the Pro” McKinney.Throughout the conversation, Patrice shares her journey from working behind the chair to becoming a multi-millionaire by building salon suites — a business model she describes as being a landlord in the hair and beauty industry.

Do you ever worry your parents are making bad money decisions… or heading toward retirement totally unprepared? This week’s Friday Drinks starts with the situation where you love your parents, they’re adults, and you’re still lying awake wondering whether someone is taking them for a ride. We talk about how to raise money concerns without lecturing or burying your head in the sand. And how to live with the reality that sometimes, even when you say everything right, the decision still isn’t yours. Then there ain't no drama like a wedding money drama, and this one is no ecception. A bridal party agreed to pay for $1k for hens and bucks accommodation, and now the story is we can’t afford to pay you back. We get into where responsibility sits, how resentment builds when you absorb costs you didn’t agree to carry, and when being “understanding” just means being out of pocket. Plus we've got money wins, broke tips, and community chaos to finish the week properly.

RISKING IT ALL TO DOCK DRAGON WITH THE ISS Colleague Eric Berger. To fund its Mars ambitions, SpaceX needed NASA contracts to deliver cargo to the International Space Station (ISS) using the Dragon spacecraft. Unlike traditional capsules, Dragon integrated propulsion directly into the vehicle to support future reusability. Behind schedule, SpaceX combined two test missions (C2 and C3) into one high-stakes attempt. During the approach, the spacecraft's LIDAR navigation system faltered, forcing NASA flight director Holly Ridings to make a "brave call": she allowed SpaceX to rewrite software on the fly, defying standard mission rules to achieve a successful docking.

In this episode of the Business of Aesthetics podcast, host Don Adeesha sits down with Paulina Riedler, CEO and co-founder of Spakinect, to talk about one of the biggest threats facing the fast-growing med spa industry: compliance gaps. The med spa industry is booming ,  adding over $1 billion each year ,  but many businesses are scaling faster than the rules can keep up. Paulina shares real stories from the field, including how skipping important steps like Good Faith Exams can cost a practice everything. You'll learn why cutting corners might feel easier in the short term but ends up being costly in the long run. Paulina also explains how a virtual compliance model can unlock real profits, why standard operating procedures (SOPs) are key to safe scaling, and how private equity firms view compliance during acquisitions.If you're growing a practice or planning an exit, this episode is a must-listen. Don't just scale fast, scale smart and safe.

In this Christmas episode, Jeff and Bill have a conversation about incarnation. That's a ten-cent word that points to the mystery of the ineffable taking flesh. If Christmas reveals that God loves us by sending love in the birth of the child Jesus, this signals that our love must take tangible form. Yet, there's a risk, right? Whenever we love, there is the risk that it won't be received. And jazz musicians know all about taking risks! Give this one a listen. Merry Christmas, everybody.Music: “I Wonder When I Wander” and “He is Born” from Jazz Noel, Bill Carter and the Presbybop Christmas Eve Band.

It's difficult, or even impossible, to conceive how good can come out of accidents or disasters. We hear the verse that Pastor Ricky quoted and wonder how that can even be. It's difficult, or even impossible, to conceive how good can come out of accidents or disasters. We hear the verse that Pastor Ricky quoted and wonder how that can even be. Surely the Israelites in exile asked themselves what good would come from their situation as well. Pastor Ricky will be sharing from the book of Esther, and other scriptures, teaching us about the sovereign will of God. He'll be teaching us how God with His ability to see the end from the beginning orchestrates events for our benefit.

Throughout the Old Testament, we see where God's people turned to foreign idols and God has to discipline them to bring them back to Himself. We in the New Testament era like to think that because we have chosen to follow Jesus, we don't have those kinds of problems. Not true. We can at times put things like money or jobs ahead of our relationship with God. Pastor Ricky will be teaching on the disastrous result of Israel's turning away from God and His faithfulness to them nevertheless.

The Burden of Escalation After Invasion: Colleague Elbridge Colby argues that if denial defense succeeds, the burden of escalation shifts to China, forcing it to choose between retreating or risking nuclear war; however, if defense fails, the coalition faces the daunting challenge of generating the political resolve necessary to counterattack and reverse a Chinese occupation. 1903 QING DYNASTY

Chances for a renewal of health care subsidies appear to be dwindling in Congress. The AP's Jennifer King reports.

Murph continues talking with Anthony Dyer, former USAF Combat Special Missions Aviator and author of the gripping memoir, “Moon Child: The Roots and Wings of a USAF Combat Special Missions Aviator.” Anthony reveals the philosophy that shaped his life in the aircraft and beyond—what he calls “house money life.” Just like playing with the casino's money, this mindset frees you to take bold risks, push past fear, and build a legacy worth leaving behind. For combat aviators, these decisions aren't theoretical—they're life or death.

A piano recital, public speaking, jumping off the high dive at a pool. Do these things make you think of sweaty palms and butterfly stomachs? We all have to take risks sometimes. But Jesus took the greatest risk of all.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.If you've ever looked at a chart and wondered why some traders always seem to catch the big move while everyone else gets stuck holding the bag, this video is going to open your eyes. We dig into one of the most powerful concepts in trading: understanding the market cycle, spotting trend changes early, and knowing when to simply step aside instead of letting hope drain your account.We jump into the story of Zoom, one of the wildest pandemic-era rockets. It blasted over 550 percent in just 36 weeks, then slowly sank back to where it started. Watching that entire run unfold is like watching trader psychology under a microscope. Greed, denial, fear, capitulation, and finally acceptance. The video breaks down every stage and shows why buying a “great company” doesn't help if the chart is falling apart beneath you.The conversation gets into why the ten over twenty and price over fifty signals matter so much. They aren't meant to predict. They're meant to tell you the direction of the trend right now, which is the only information that actually matters. This approach is simple, clean, and brutally effective compared to buy and hold on individual names. It doesn't require guessing. It requires paying attention.Right in the middle of the lesson, a few key ideas pop up that every trader should hear:✅ Why being “right” or “wrong” has nothing to do with good trading✅ Why the public always buys too late and sells too late✅ Why opportunity cost destroys long term portfolios quietly✅ Why unlimited freedom in trading leads people straight into disaster✅ Why a rules based plan beats predictions every timeThere's also a section on the Bank of America chart that is honestly shocking. The stock took nearly twenty years to get back to break even after its big collapse. Meanwhile, following simple trend rules would have doubled an account several times using the exact same stock. Same ticker, completely different outcomes. That's the power of ignoring opinions and following price instead.The video also dives into stop losses, position sizing, and the difference between risking 100 percent with no exit plan versus risking 10 percent with a clear line in the sand. When the return on risk numbers are compared side by side, the gap is massive. Risking one dollar to make thirty six is a completely different universe than risking one dollar to lose sixty six cents.And yes, the psychology breakdown hits hard too. Most traders blow up because they think they need to be right. In reality, the only thing that matters is whether you followed your plan. A losing trade can be a great trade if it followed your rules. A winning trade can be a terrible trade if it didn't.If you want a simple, repeatable approach that gives you clarity around when to buy, when to sell, and when to get out of the way, this video is a must watch. It's all about reading what the market is actually doing instead of begging it to do what you want.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

In this episode, Regent grad and spiritual director Carolyn Watts shares about her life and learnings from serving as an obstetrician in Afghanistan until a debilitating chronic illness (POTS) ended her medical career. Reflecting on her memoir, Risking Rest, Carolyn shares how her obstetrical training gave her images for interpreting God's intimate care for us, as well as His invitations to us to rest from our labours. Carolyn also shares about the gifts of singleness, trusting God in challenging circumstances, and living a restful life with God amid pressures, demands and personal limitations. Throughout the conversation, she conveys God's gentleness and loving kindness, which continues to meet her in her limits, enabling her to relinquish her drivenness.Carolyn's BioCarolyn Watts is an obstetrician, author, and spiritual director. She completed an MATS at Regent College, where she began working on Risking Rest: Embracing God's Love Through Life's Uncertainties. In her memoir, she shares her experience of living and working in Afghanistan, and her journey with chronic illness that prevented her from continuing to practice medicine, but led her deeper into the heart of God.

The Queensland health minister has issued a new order banning the prescription of puberty blockers for transgender patients, just hours after the state's supreme court ruled the government's first attempt was unlawful.

In this episode, we tackle the monumental challenge of teaching equity, justice, and critical thinking in an era of restrictive policies and political scrutiny. We provide a strategic roadmap for maintaining your professional integrity without sacrificing your personal safety.Key TakeawaysThe Duty of Non-Neutrality: We examine Freire's belief that education must always serve freedom, and what neutrality truly costs our students. We also share the powerful context of his exile for holding this stance.Strategic Advocacy: We break down actionable moves into two categories: Subtle Moves (using curriculum as a shield, letting primary sources speak) and Bold Moves (collective advocacy, knowing your policy).The AnchorED Framework: We introduce the AnchorED for Achievement framework—Agency, Norms, Community, Hope, Opportunity, Reflection, Empowerment, and Data-Informed Practice—as a memory tool and strategic guide for applying these advocacy moves.The Un-Bannable Work: We focus on how empowering students through Agency and Empowerment ensures that the core work of critical thinking continues, regardless of external attempts to restrict content.Reflection QuestionsFor Teachers: What is one "anchor" from the AnchorED framework that you can apply this week to a potentially challenging topic? How can you use Data or Norms to shield a crucial discussion?For Instructional Coaches & School Leaders: Where in your curriculum or PD agenda are you inadvertently promoting neutrality or compliance? What is one way you can create a safer "collective" space (the Community anchor) for teachers to discuss restrictive policies without fear of retaliation?For Everyone: Where in your community or personal life are you tempted toward silence? What is the personal cost of that silence?Resources MentionedThe work of Paulo Freire (Pedagogy of the Oppressed)Cultivating Genius: An Equity Framework for Culturally and Historically Responsive Literacy by Dr. Gholdy MuhammadIf you're looking for support to continue this work in your own school or classroom, I invite you to explore my Equity Audit Tools, Student Data Dive Tool, and Coaching services.

HEADLINE: China's Desperate Rare Earth Export Curbs and Economic Collapse GUEST NAMES: Alan Tonelson, Gordon Chang SUMMARY: China's sweeping curbs on rare earth exports are described as a desperate "hail mary" heave, risking severe economic damage, particularly given the collapse of its property bubble and external pressures. Experts agree China is undergoing a major deflationary spiral, and this move ironically contradicts the globalization from which it prospered. 1960

A flotilla of ships has set sail from the western end of the Mediterranean to the Gaza Strip, where a devastating war has destroyed much of the Palestinian territory. The ships hope to transport food, water and medicine, in defiance of Israel's naval blockade of the Gaza Strip.But the flotilla is unlikely to reach its destination. Nearly all attempts to deliver aid to Gaza by sea have been intercepted by Israeli forces. Compounding fears of possible violence, one of the Gaza-bound vessels taking part in this latest mission was struck by a suspected drone earlier this month while docked in Tunisia.Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Toronto-based pro-Palestinian activist Zaheera Soomar from her boat in the Mediterranean, about the mission to deliver aid to Gaza, and why she's willing to risk her life to do it.
