Frankie Val, Adel Nero, and Zak “RedPill78” Paine tackle the disturbing details of the Minneapolis church shooting, exposing the shooter's trans identity, manifesto, and ties to a dark subculture that idolizes mass killers. They rip apart mainstream media spin that tries to mask the real issues, pointing instead to mental illness, SSRIs, and the dangers of gender ideology pushed on kids. The hosts discuss RFK Jr.'s call to investigate psychotropic drugs, the CDC shake-ups under Trump, and how decades of Big Pharma corruption have destabilized public health. From Fort Bragg's “dead wife summer” tied to anti-malarial drugs, to homeopathic alternatives buried by Rockefeller medicine, the episode is a raw, unflinching look at how greed and lies have poisoned society. They close with Trump's crackdown on crime in D.C., Kash Patel labeling the attack domestic terrorism, and Tulsi Gabbard's revelations about 2020 election “burn bags,” weaving it all into a bigger picture of cultural decay and a fight for accountability.
By the late 1980s, Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter is now known as New York City bond trader Christopher Crowe. But even the Wall Street lifestyle is not quite glamorous enough for him. So he decides to transform once again, this time into a billionaire heir: a Rockefeller. With his new last name, he meets the woman of his dreams and settles into the leisurely life he's always wanted. But when his past catches up with him — skeletons and all — it'll all go up in flames.

That's LegacyProtectionLawyers.com. And Bill, we were talking a lot about, obviously, trusts and funding them, and all the different kind of pieces that go in there. So, on this final episode, this part four of the series, we want to talk about some of the common mistakes and things that you guys see as professionals, then try to help people avoid these or highlight some of the things. So, we talked as we finished off about the funding issue of a trust. What are some other common mistakes that you tend to see? Bill McQueen: First off, I would say it might not be considered a common mistake, but a common misconception. A lot of people who think that, "Well, hey, I've created this revocable trust, and so my assets aren't in my individual name. Now they're held by my trust. And so, if something were to happen and I were to be sued, for some reason, my wealth is protected inside this trust." And unfortunately, that's not the case with a revocable trust. Again, the revocable trust just acts as a substitute for your last will and testament. And because the person who creates it has so much control over those assets, they can do anything they want with those assets. If somebody were to sue them, there'd be a lawsuit of some sort, and a judgment was entered against that person who created that trust. Those creditors can get at those assets that are inside the revocable trust no differently than if they were held in the person's individual name. So, that's something that we always need to advise clients that they're well aware of. There may be other ways to protect their wealth from creditors, but putting them in a revocable trust does not give them credit or protection from that standpoint. The other thing that comes up fairly frequently is, I have real estate, and should I put it in my revocable trust or not? If that real estate is something that's not your primary home or your residence here in Florida, we would definitely say do that, and especially if the clients own real estate outside the state of Florida. They might have a vacation home in North Carolina or something like that. If they own that home in their individual name and they die, and we're using a will-based plan, not only are we going to have to do a probate administration down here in the state of Florida, but we're also going to have to do one in the state of North Carolina as well, a second one, because each state's very protective of their real estate. Whereas if they go ahead and deed that real estate into the revocable trust, then we avoid probate both in Florida and in North Carolina. The issue, though, as to the primary residence, because under Florida law or Constitution, that's considered your homestead, and there are certain benefits that come from that, like a tax break, and it makes your home creditor protected, there are some restrictions on where your homestead can go, who can get it after your death if you're survived by a spouse or minor children. And so, that comes into play as to can we put that home into the revocable trust? And it used to be we would usually advise people not to do that if they're married because of these restrictions that were involved. Now we can do it if it's done properly, but there needs to be some special waiver language and things that are included in the deed. And unfortunately, if somebody puts it into their trust and they don't do the deed properly, then when they die, it's considered what we call an invalid devise. And that home may be going to people other than where they wanted it to go underneath the terms of their trust. So you can do it, and we do it for clients, but you definitely want to make sure you're getting good advice when you're setting something up like that. Nick: Yeah, I would say that's one of the most common questions that people have. Oftentimes, what leads people to act, obviously, hopefully, it's from working with advisors and stuff like that, but people talk amongst themselves. A lot of times, it's friend or family that are like, "Hey, my brother just retired and they got a trust put into place. Do you think I should do something like that?" And sometimes, the answer's like, "Well, hey, we've been telling you to do it for the last 10 years. But also, yes, there's things that can make sense to do, but you need to make sure that you work with somebody to understand the nuances." Because I would say one of the most common mistakes that people make is when they do talk with their peers, siblings, etc., that oftentimes they don't understand the dynamics between the differences of their situations. And so, somebody like Bill and the people at Bill's team can help walk them through how that works. And the majority of people, no matter what the situation is, when they're working with an advisor or an attorney, they have some sort of real estate holding, and so that's often one of the most common questions. Marc: Yeah. No, it makes sense. With you asking that and talking about that, Nick, Bill, what's your thoughts on people who say, "Well, who should draft this?" Right? Or, "Can I just go on to one of these, for lack of a better term, robo-advisors or robo-lawyers?" Right? I mean, you should be sitting down with an attorney in your area because state to state, law is probably a little bit different. I'm sure there's some things that are probably the same from place to place, but you want to make sure you're getting advice on your specific situation, not one of these cookie-cutter type deals. Bill McQueen: No, a really good point. Estate planning is specific per the state where you're residing, and that's the laws that will apply at the time of your death, so it is important that you're talking to an attorney who is licensed in that particular state where you live. But I would definitely advise against a do-it-yourself estate plan. Marc: Right. Bill McQueen: And there are a lot of, especially with the internet nowadays, various online programs where you can draft your own will or trust. The big problem with that is you'll never know if you're the drafter of a do-it-yourself will or trust, whether you did it right, because we won't know that. We won't implement it until after your death. Marc: And you won't know until it's too late. Well, it's too late for you, obviously, but your heirs are suffering. Right? Bill McQueen: So, if there's problems with it, we can't go back and correct it or change it. So that's very important. I also always tell people it would be ... I highly recommend you go to somebody who specializes in the area of trust and estates planning. You wouldn't want me to handle a criminal law matter for you, and you probably don't want a criminal lawyer to try to draft your will or trust. And just to show you what the problems can be, as recently as within the last decade here in our state of Florida, our Florida Supreme Court had a case, that's our highest court here in Florida, where a lady drafted her own will. Actually, I think it was pre-internet. It was a form will or whatnot, but she left out of that will what we call the residuary provision, which is where the remainder of her estate goes, and that's where the bulk of her estate would go. And it was very clear, the court said, that her intentions were to leave it to her sister, but that's not what the will said. It was done improperly. And so the wealth went to someone else, and the court said they felt really bad about that, but they have to go with what the will said. And the will was validly executed and everything. It just wasn't properly constructed, and so, unfortunately, her estate went somewhere other than where she wanted it to go, and we don't want that to happen. Marc: Yeah. In a world where we can turn to the internet for so much stuff, there's just certain areas where I feel like it's just not a good idea. Right? Legally has got to be one of those. It's got to be the tops for a lot of those things. Nick, what else? Nick: Yeah. And these things tie together a little bit. I was having a conversation with a client the other day, and I've seen this in other instances, where clients in their 40s, the parents of the clients are in their 70s, and there's some concern on future healthcare planning. And from the standpoint of the transition potentially to Medicaid and/or titling assets, whether it's a home, whether it's other types of assets like investments, so obviously non-retirement, putting the kids on accounts to try to protect those assets per se and the future inheritance while somebody to qualify. Now, I know this is a long, convoluted thing, but I guess, just in general, especially in the state of Florida, maybe helping people understand is that primary homestead residence protected and/or just the definition or an explanation of step up in cost basis and how big of a deal that can be to somebody down the road. I know it's a lot there, so break it up and down, whatever. Bill McQueen: That was a lot, Nick. The issue regarding Medicaid, what I would say there is if we have clients where somebody, a parent, has maybe been diagnosed with early onset of dementia or something like that, so there's a high likelihood that they are going to need long-term care in the future. When that arises, they'd like to qualify for Medicaid as soon as possible. We can help them do that through using a trust. It's an irrevocable form of a trust where we can move assets that otherwise would be what we call countable assets, meaning that the government says you have to spend those assets first before Medicaid will take over and start paying for the long-term care. And we can move them into this irrevocable trust so that when they do reach that stage that they need the long-term care, hopefully, they can qualify right away. And this wealth that's in this trust will then ultimately still be there and able to go on to their kids rather than go to pay for the nursing home care. That, though, has to be done well in advance of qualifying for Medicaid or trying to, basically, five years in advance. So, this is definitely a very proactive, forward-looking planning-type procedure. And it's not something that can be done once they need to get on Medicaid right away or on the near-term standpoint from that part of the equation. Here's my basic advice. Whether it's Medicaid or anything else, people will say, "Hey, well, what I'm going to do, I'm going to put my children's names on accounts with me in joint names, so one, they can maybe help pay my bills and stuff like that. Two, when I die, that asset will just pass by operational law to my child, so it won't go through the probate process, and I don't have to worry about probate." I highly advise clients typically not to do that. One: when you put your child's name on that account with you jointly, at least as to regards to the bank or the brokerage house, that child now has the right to take all those funds that are in that account. Hopefully, they won't do that while you're still alive, but that could possibly happen. But two, the child might get sued or go through a divorce, and somebody else now might be trying to take those funds that are in the parent's account. So we would highly advise against that and instead, let that child maybe be given a durable power of attorney that I think Nicole spoke with you about in one of the earlier episodes so that they can help pay bills and do stuff like that, but they have no ownership rights in those accounts that maybe somebody else could get at those accounts that the parents will need before their death. One big thing for estate tax or death tax planning purposes, the amount of wealth now that people can leave at their death or give away during their lifetime is at an all-time high watermark. Very few people pay federal estate taxes anymore, less than one-tenth of 1% of the US population. And here in Florida, as a Florida resident, all we're concerned about is the federal estate tax laws. So, instead, what we focus on is income tax planning for our clients. And so it would be much better for actually those parents not to, for instance, give away assets before they die to their children because what happens is if the parents die owning assets that have a lot of appreciation in them, that's been unrealized, and by example, maybe they've got a house that they bought for $200,000 30 years ago that today is worth a couple of million dollars here in Florida, if they give that house away to the child before their death, the child gets what we call a basis in that asset that's a carryover basis. It's equal to the $200,000 the parents paid for it. And so, if the children ever sell that house, maybe after the parents die, they're going to have to recognize income tax or capital gains tax on that million eight of gain. If instead they hold onto the home, the parents, and when they die, they leave it to the children, that home then gets a step-up in basis for income tax purposes to what the house is worth at the time of the parent's death, the $2 million. So if the children sell the house soon after their parent died, they're going to pay no income tax, no capital gains tax, they get the full $2 million, and Uncle Sam doesn't take any of it in the form of income taxes. So, it's very important that people be cognizant of what the potential income tax effects could be if they're talking about giving away assets prior to their death versus holding onto them and passing them to their beneficiaries after death. Marc: Yeah, tax efficiency, right? It's just as important when we're no longer here, and our heirs would certainly appreciate that as well. Any final thoughts or anything that I didn't cover, Bill, that you'd like to share with folks when it comes to estate planning in general and what you guys do at your firm? Bill McQueen: Sure. I guess one thing I would just mention, and we've talked a lot about probate avoidance, but with a trust, a trust can do a whole lot more. And I guess I would just give one example. It's not uncommon for us to have families nowadays that are often blended families, so it's a married couple and they have children from earlier marriages. For those of my generation that grew up watching The Brady Bunch, a family like that. And by using a trust properly, what usually most married couples want to do, one thing we don't know from an estate planning standpoint which spouse is going to die first. And usually, the spouses want to make sure the surviving spouse is well taken care of for his or her remaining lifetime, and then the assets go down to all of their children from both sides of the family. So, one way to do that is just when the first spouse dies, they leave everything outright to the surviving spouse, with the hope and understanding they're going to leave everything to all six children in this example. But what can happen is when they do that and they leave the assets to the surviving spouse, that now becomes his or her assets. And again, they can change their estate plan after that first spouse died. Instead, what can be done through that revocable trust is we leave assets into a new trust, a marital trust for the benefit of that surviving spouse, so he or she's well taken care of for the rest of their life, but that trust, that marital trust, is irrevocable. And so, the first spouse to die knows their surviving spouse is going to be well taken care of, but they also know when the surviving spouse dies, where the assets are going to go, and it's locked in that it will go to their children as well and not just maybe the surviving spouse's children. And then the last thing I would say is when we pass the assets to the children, often, most people think the easiest thing is just to leave assets to the children outright. And that can be done that way, but it's often not the most effective. Often, nowadays, we will leave the assets to the children in a trust, and we'll let the children be the trustee of their own trust so they get their share of the inheritance. They have it in their own trust that they're the trustee of, but this type of trust does give that child asset protection. So, if the child ever gets sued during their lifetime, be it age 25 or 85, a creditor can't get at the inheritance inside that trust. Also, if the child is married or gets married and unfortunately goes through a divorce, their former spouse has no rights to the assets inside this trust either, because legally, the child does not own those assets individually. They're owned by this trust that the child controls and the child's the primary beneficiary of, but it's insulated from what I'll call bad people being able to get at their inheritance from that standpoint. So, that's really how we try to protect that inheritance and pass it down to the people we want and keep those creditors and predators away from their inheritance from that standpoint. Marc: Got you. Yeah. I'll ask you this final question, and I set Nicole up with this as well. Just in general, I think, mindsets have changed through the years, but people often, many years ago, thought, "Well, you have to be really wealthy to A, have a financial advisor, and B, have a trust. You must be a Rockefeller or something like that." And that's just not the case anymore. So, are you seeing more people starting to realize or understand that this could be a useful tool for them in working with someone, and not just something for the ultrarich? Bill McQueen: Oh, definitely. We serve clients of all different sizes and net worths, and I tell my clients there is no bright line test as to when it makes sense to have a trust as your primary estate planning document versus a will. But if I had to use a rule of thumb, I would say if somebody has assets that are over a couple of hundred thousand dollars, it probably is more beneficial to use a trust as the primary estate planning document rather than a will because, again, looking back to my youth, there used to be a commercial, the Fram oil filter commercial, that they always said, "Pay me now or pay me later." Marc: Right, yeah. Bill McQueen: Yes, putting a trust-based plan into place is probably more expensive than a will-based plan, but it's not that much more expensive, and all the benefits you get far exceed the cost of when they do die, what it's going to cost going through the probate process. So, just looking at it from a cost factor alone, I would say most anybody would pretty much benefit from having a trust-based plan versus a will-based plan. Marc: Bill, does that include the home value as well? Obviously, those have skyrocketed the past few years, so it'd be pretty easy to get to a couple of hundred grand. Bill McQueen: It would, yes. And I would include the home value in that as well, yes. Marc: Okay. All right, Nick, any final thoughts from you before we go? Nick: Really, I think the takeaway, and a lot of things have been pointed out, and something that we try to emphasize with people, whether it's financial planning, whether it's legal planning, is that strategy and how just a couple of decisions can make a dramatic impact on somebody's overall situation and plan. Oftentimes, and Mark, you alluded to it, where people, for many years, had this perception of, whether it's an advisor or an attorney, it's something that only people with really substantial amounts of money have. And if anything, people with substantial amounts of money, they have a bigger buffer. You know what I mean? And can make more mistakes and recover, but really, a handful of decisions for a typical client that's worked hard their whole life, saved a whole bunch, paid off their house, want to enjoy their retirement and hopefully pass on some money to their kids, they can really benefit from strategy planning and adapting to what's going on. Marc: Yeah. For lack of a better term, Middle America, right? I mean, a lot of folks in Middle America could certainly use a team, a financial and legal team.

How many female entrepreneurs, merchants and industrialists can you name? We all know the names Rockefeller, Medici and Ford, but what about Priscilla Wakefield, who founded the first bank for women and children? Or the businesswoman Julia Felix, who built a property empire in Ancient Rome? In her new book, Economica: A Global History of Women, Wealth and Power, Dr Victoria Bateman charts the vital contributions made by women to humanity's path from poverty to prosperity. In this episode, she sat down with historian Caroline Dodds Pennock for a wide-ranging conversation - from the market queens of 18th century West Africa to the everyday working women of the Industrial Revolution, to the women who laid the foundations for the computer industry. She shows that throughout history, civilisations thrive when women are working alongside men, and decline when women are forced away from paid work into the home, and explores the lessons these histories hold for our economic future. Victoria Bateman is a feminist economist and academic. Economica is available now.

One of the most important years in American history was 1913, and everything really changed after that. The bankers took control of the United States banking system and the US Dollar with the Federal Reserve Act, lighting the slow fuse towards economic destruction and the subjugation of the general public. The collection arm of the Federal Reserve was also born in 1913 when the Internal Revenue Service was created by Congress, and the battle against Americans began. The Rockefeller Foundation began the process of taking control of the American medical industry, all while pushing eugenics through think tanks such as the Population Council. Even the American Cancer Society turns out to be a Rockefeller scam, also launched in 1913.

Send us a textDo you meticulously plan your business strategy but wing it when it comes to your family's future? You're not alone. In this powerful episode, Tyler McCart shares a wake-up call for marketplace Christians about the glaring disconnect between how we approach business planning versus family planning.Tyler recounts a story from speaker Randy Pope who, at a business conference, challenged executives on this very contradiction. These leaders unanimously agreed they would never invest in a venture without a comprehensive plan, yet when asked about their life and family plans, the room fell silent. This revelation becomes the springboard for Tyler's passionate call to create family constitutions—frameworks that unite spiritual values with financial legacy.Drawing from biblical principles and personal experience, Tyler explores how a family constitution serves as the North Star for generational wealth transfer that honors God. He outlines practical steps for defining family values, creating a shared vision, and establishing governance structures that can preserve both spiritual heritage and financial resources across multiple generations. Just as Moses documented Israel's stories in the Torah, Tyler encourages families to document their values and formative stories to guide future generations.This isn't about controlling your children's paths, but rather establishing a structure that can help pass along generational values and wealth for three generations or more. Tyler references the Rockefeller family's seven-generation success as an example of what's possible with intentional planning.Ready to stop compartmentalizing your faith and finances?

We all dream of building our own funding empires, but there's one giant wall that stops almost everyone dead in their tracks: getting a consistent flow of quality leads. It can be the most frustrating part of the business. But what if I told you the problem isn't your strategy, but your mindset? In this episode, I'm breaking down the one thing all the greats—from Rockefeller and Carnegie to the billionaires of today—understood about getting their name out there. It's about being bold and unapologetic about the value you provide. You'll hear a story about two of our partners who landed new business just by having a conversation over lunch. Find out the simple mental switch you need to flip to start attracting opportunities everywhere you go. When it comes to lead generation, I see two main paths you can take. While one involves paying for ads, the other is a powerful, no-cost strategy that completely transformed our business. We used this exact method to sign up 400 referral partners in our first year, which has now grown to over 12,000 partners sending us thousands of leads every month. You'll have to listen to find out how we did it, and how you can start building your own lead-generating machine today. For More Info: https://MyFundingMachine.com Email: info@7figures.com
Another season of The Gilded Age has ended, and the frocks are more shocking than the bullets. As episodes build to the climactic end-of-season balls, we see the power shifts fracture the old ways, inviting in bold new energy. Even divorcees and suffragists are welcome on the dance floor! Join us as we break down Episodes 5-8 of Season 3: Gladys & Bertha fight a second revolutionary war at the Dukedom's dinner table (hint: come at seven, wear the biggest tiara you own, and be prepared cut your opponent with sharp words); Peggy triumphs in dance-floor romance and in her career; and Ada takes her seat at the head of the table. Then there's that other war: Mrs Scott vs Mrs Kirkland in the dressmaker's fitting room (come at noon, try on your gorgeous gowns, and prepare to throw your sickest burns). We cheer for both young Jack (or as Agnes calls him ‘a Rockefeller in livery'), and Oscar, who movingly mourns John while growing an inspired beard. And we grumble about the men who are making a mountain out of a molehill (ahem, Railroad Daddy). BONUS: More Downton Abbey callbacks than there are diamonds around Mrs Astor's neck!

Don't Blame the Latte: Your Burn Rate Is Eating You AliveThe Silent Reason You're Always BrokeThere's a meme that won't die: “Don't blame me for my daily latte—it's not why I can't afford a house in America.” But here's the rub: it isn't the latte by itself. It's the latte plus the Starbucks sandwich, the DoorDash dinner, the Amazon Prime, the Netflix, the Disney+, the YouTube TV, the Hulu, the gym membership you never use, the $1,200 phone you upgrade every two years, the Uber rides, the subscription boxes, the automatic monthly charges you don't even notice anymore. Add them up, and suddenly you're living like a Gordon Gekko yuppie from Wall Street—without actually being rich. That is your burn rate. And your burn rate is the silent killer of wealth.Most people don't even know the term. In business, burn rate is how fast a startup burns through its cash. If your expenses outpace your revenue, the company dies, no matter how good the pitch deck looks. Now zoom out: your life is a company. Your paycheck is your revenue. Every “normal” convenience you've convinced yourself you're entitled to is an expense. And most Americans are burning cash at a startup's pace without ever realizing it.Think about it: a Starbucks venti caramel macchiato with extra pumps? Call it $7–$8. Add a pastry—because of course you did—and you're at $12. Do that five times a week, and you've quietly spent $250 a month on coffee shop culture. That's three grand a year. Add DoorDash: one burger meal for $14 becomes $28 after delivery fees, service fees, and tip. Do that three times a week? Another $350–$400 a month, five grand a year. Now add streaming: Netflix, $16. Disney+, $14. Hulu, $18. HBO/Max, $17. Paramount+, $12. YouTube TV, $73. Amazon Prime, $15. Suddenly your “cheap entertainment” costs $165 a month, nearly $2,000 a year.Keep tallying. The $1,200 iPhone with $40 monthly insurance. The $80 unlimited data plan. The fast fashion wardrobe that falls apart every season. The gym you don't use. The Uber you grab instead of the bus because it's “just ten bucks.” Before you know it, your “burn” is $3,000–$4,000 a month just to maintain a lifestyle you think of as normal. That's $36,000–$50,000 a year—money that could be a down payment, an index fund, or a cushion against the next emergency.Contrast that with 1965: Dad made $6,900 a year. Mom stayed home. They had two or three kids. One family car, maybe a black-and-white TV. Vacations were once a summer, maybe to the beach or Grandma's house. There was no burn rate in the modern sense. They didn't pay subscriptions for entertainment—they had three channels. They didn't replace phones every two years—they had one rotary phone on the wall for decades. A “splurge” was meatloaf with ketchup or maybe a color TV. Today's “middle-class normal” would have looked like Rockefeller living to them.Now, I'm not wagging my finger. I've lived both sides. I rent a studio apartment. I cook bulk ground beef, eggs, and butter. I buy my watches used on eBay, my bags secondhand. My coffee is Café Bustelo brewed at home. My rower is a 20-year-old Concept2 I got for cheap. And still—I fall into the same trap as everyone else. I subscribe to every damn streaming service. I justify little “conveniences” that pile up. I know the burn rate game.Here's the brutal truth: if you make $70k a year and your burn rate is $50k, you're broke. If you make $200k and your burn rate is $190k, you're broke. And no revolution, no socialism, no political system is going to fix that. Because the second you normalize luxuries as entitlements, you've built yourself a treadmill. And treadmills don't make people rich. They just keep you running.Stop telling me a $7 latte doesn't matter. Stop telling me the subscription stack doesn't count. Add it up. Run the numbers. Look at your burn rate. That's why you're not rich.
In this dynamic episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, I sit down with Ted Santos—founder of Turnaround Investment Partners—for a powerful conversation on leadership, disruption, and transforming companies from the inside out. With over two decades of experience turning around distressed businesses and scaling organizations growing faster than they could handle, Ted brings a wealth of insight. He shares his early leadership journey as a COO in the transportation and translation sectors, where he radically improved operations by shifting culture and introducing new service lines. One standout story: how his lack of industry knowledge in translation actually became his superpower. Ted spearheaded cultural translation services for websites—an innovative leap that reshaped how companies approached global communications. That sparked a familiar theme for me. I reflected on my own healthcare leadership journey—stepping into the industry without direct experience. Sometimes, not knowing “how it's always been done” is exactly what's needed to drive game-changing innovation. Reimagining Growth Through Diverse Lenses We explored how bringing in external perspectives—whether from different industries, cultures, or life experiences—is a powerful way to break the echo chamber of internal assumptions. I shared a story from my days running a multicultural healthcare clinic, where dialogue and inclusion—not rigid policies—became the key to navigating cultural complexity and driving operational excellence. Ted offered insights on his disruption framework for organizations, helping leaders embrace volatility and turn it into a strategic advantage. Discomfort as a Catalyst for Innovation Ted and I went deep into why organizations must learn to disrupt themselves before the market does. Drawing on both history and personal experiences, Ted cited icons like Rockefeller and Ford, reminding us that lasting innovation doesn't come from comfort zones—it comes from shaking them up. As leaders, we must be willing to challenge norms, ask uncomfortable questions, and reinvent systems. I added some examples from my own path—like pivoting to virtual events long before it became a necessity—and how that foresight unlocked unexpected growth. Leading With Boldness in a Changing World Ted laid out a compelling case for what he calls "disruptive leadership"—the ability to invent new possibilities and even “create problems” that force organizations to stretch. We discussed how leaders must confront blind spots (both personal and organizational), embrace continuous learning, and build the muscle to delegate strategically if they want to scale sustainably. Owning Your Narrative: Responsibility and Reinvention We closed on a deeply personal note—how early life experiences shape behavior, and how owning your story is the first step in transforming it. Ted and I unpacked the role of ego, unconscious patterns, and the necessity of unlearning behaviors that no longer serve our leadership. It's a conversation about growth, yes—but more importantly, about responsibility. Innovation isn't just about ideas—it's about the inner work we do to lead ourselves and others through disruption. Connect with Ted Santos: Ted's work is ideal for organizations navigating rapid change or seeking bold new strategies. If you're looking to challenge your current trajectory, this episode is your invitation to start. Ted Santos is the ultimate “Disruptor of Limits”—a bold strategist who trains and develops CEOs and executives to stop solving problems and start creating them to fuel breakthroughs that redefine industries. As the creator of the Disruptive Leadership Model, Ted flips conventional wisdom on its head, proving that chaos isn't a threat—it's the catalyst for transformation. With a track record of turning impossible visions into unstoppable growth, Ted challenges leaders to think bigger, act bolder, and turn uncertainty into opportunity. Whether he's helping businesses scale without breaking or reshaping corporate cultures to thrive under pressure, Ted is the go-to expert for leaders who refuse to settle for incremental growth and are ready to disrupt their way to dominance.
In this episode of American Dynasties, we pick up where we left off—at the height of Standard Oil's power. John D. Rockefeller's empire controlled more than 90% of the U.S. oil market, but cracks were beginning to show.We'll follow the rise of investigative journalist Ida Tarbell, whose groundbreaking exposé revealed the hidden tactics behind Standard Oil's success. We'll explore the wave of public outrage her work ignited, the legal battles that reached all the way to the Supreme Court, and the landmark 1911 decision that shattered Rockefeller's monopoly.This is the story of how one man's business brilliance collided with the growing demand for fairness in the American marketplace—and how the fall of Standard Oil forever changed the way America does business.

I have my coffee here in front of me. I need it at the moment because a man has just stopped it started chopping down a tree outside. So if there's a noise, that's what it is. I'm delighted, however, to be here with Kimberly Gorn. Kimberly, is gonna be talking to us about providing alternative education solutions for parents who are dissatisfied with the public schooling system. So, Kimberly, I love I love the attitude you brought with you as well. You've promised me you won't have skate stage fright.Stuart Webb [00:01:06]:You're just gonna do it. So I love the attitude. Let's do it together. How are you doing?Kimberly Gawne [00:01:12]:I'm doing well. It's really nice to be able to chat with you. Thank you for having me on. I appreciate it.Stuart Webb [00:01:17]:No problem at all. So, look, Kimberly, let's start with the the obvious first question. For anybody who is, who is at the moment sort of maybe themselves, struggling with the public schooling system, what are the sort of sort of thoughts that they have? Who who are they? Who is it you're trying to reach, and what is it you're trying to tell them?Kimberly Gawne [00:01:38]:I would say that the I mean, that's a good question. I get that I get asked that a lot is what are the complaints. Right? Because, I work in the alternative education space, and so a lot of people say that, well, you know, what what complaints are there with the public school system? They asked me to specify. And I kind of make a joke of it, and I say, well, a shorter list is what's not wrong with the public school system. The most common ones that I hear from people in terms of complaints, whether they're parents, whether they're educators, or whether they're just kind of on the sidelines of looking at how public education works is the curriculum. The fact that the curriculum itself is so outdated, so outdated, especially in I I can't speak for European education as much, but in Canada and The US, public school education, some of those curriculums have not been updated since nineteen nineties. Like, they're older than me. Not to you know, like, people aging is a different thing.Kimberly Gawne [00:02:36]:Curriculums aging is quite another. I think it's really important to make sure that we have accurate and updated information that we're teaching to children, let alone, you know, with the framework that we're teaching as well, or that from which we're teaching. Mhmm. So curriculum is definitely the biggest one. That's the biggest complaint that I hear. The other complaint is, the classroom sizes. And there's no getting around that no matter how you look at it. Public school or private school, you are typically in a class of anywhere from 15 to 30 plus children.Kimberly Gawne [00:03:10]:And and that's not that you're not able to really talk to the kids. You're not able to really teach them, in the way that they learn best. Right? That's one of the biggest frustrations I see from parents. I also see that from educators, but on the different side of the perspective because they're expected to teach all 30 children to the best of those kids' understanding, and they just can't. It's not possible.Stuart Webb [00:03:33]:Great. So, you know, I think we we can all we can all identify with with people who have you know, if you're you're a business owner, you don't wanna be trying to sort of reach out to 30 customers at a time. So, you know, parents are in the same situation. So tell me, what are these people I often say this about sort of, you know, when somebody sort of sees a a business person that's tried to solve a problem, parents are trying to solve this problem as well. What what are the sort of things you've seen that they've tried to do and maybe made mistakes trying to solve as part of their, desire to get their children better educated as part of their frustrations with with watching this situation at their school?Kimberly Gawne [00:04:20]:I see I see some commonalities when it comes to parents, trying their best. And this is not to say that, you know, parents don't have good, good intentions. Of course, they do. We all have good intentions when it comes to our children, especially when it comes to their education. One of the common mistakes that I see parents making when it comes to their child's education is outsourcing it without any sense of responsibility, without any sense of responsibility. One of my favorite things to say is that the public school system is glorified babysitting. I get a lot of hate for that, but it's true if you think about it. What else are are parents doing other than sending their children to a public school that's going to just babysit their kids all day while the parents are at work.Kimberly Gawne [00:05:11]:If the parent themselves does not have any responsibility, any communication, any sort of, initiative to go and talk to the teachers, to go and get involved with the school activities, to go you know, if there's a PTA, go get involved with the PTA. If there's no responsibility on the part of the parent in terms of getting involved with their kids' education, the children are the ones that suffer because those are the kids that will fall through the cracks. Because the teachers, quite simply, don't have the brain space and or the time, to be quite honest with you, to give all 30 children the the best of what they are able to give them because they have Of course. They have, what, forty five minutes or fifty minutes or, you know, maybe seventy five if you're talking about high school. If you have a child whose parents are not involved and whose parents are not, as active in their school life, that child is going to suffer because nobody's looking out for that kid's best interest in terms of educationally speaking. Right? In in my in that specific context for me, no no one's looking out for their educational interests. So that's a really common mistake that I see parents making is outsourcing without any sense of responsibility. There's nothing wrong with outsourcing, but you still have to be involved because you're you as the parent are your child's first, you're you're the child's first barrier to or the first first guardian to, getting that good education, to be able to to speak for your child if they're, you know, in elementary school, they're in grades one through eight.Kimberly Gawne [00:06:43]:They're not really able to speak for themselves in terms of what's best for their best educational interest. You as the parent, that's your job. And if you're not saying anything because you're not involved, there that no one else is going to do that for you.Stuart Webb [00:06:59]:And I think that's a really good message that you've given with the fact that too much outsourcing is done without thought of the responsibilities you own as the sort of parent or, the the the, you know, if we we think of, you know, too many times people outsource things without really thinking about their responsibilities within the process, which is exactly what you've described. A parent just sort of, you know, says, well, I I don't know what else to do. I'm just gonna I'm just gonna leave it and hope for the best. And that's where things go wrong, isn't it? When you hope for the best, we often we often fail to realize that actually there, you know, there are things we can do. There are things we can the actions we can take in order to improve, if not if not, drastically change the situation.Kimberly Gawne [00:07:50]:Absolutely. Absolutely. And like I said, it's not there's nothing wrong with outsourcing because you can't do it all yourself. That's another mistake I see parents making is that they they can they're like, okay. Well, I'm gonna homeschool my children. I'm gonna do all of it myself. You will burn out so fast. Absolutely.Kimberly Gawne [00:08:07]:Yeah.Stuart Webb [00:08:07]:Yeah. You know, if you if you're if you're busy working or if you don't have the the necessary income in order to be able to afford to sort of have one parent take the time off, then then it becomes very difficult, doesn't it?Kimberly Gawne [00:08:19]:Mhmm. Yeah. Absolutely. Even if you have a parent, we have I have quite a few clients actually who that's a sort of, that's the sort of category that they fall into where there's one parent who is actively working and away from home, and then there's the other parent, usually the mom, because that's just how the dynamic works, who's homeschooling kids, who's chosen to make the time to homeschool the children. But when you have multiple children, I and I'm speaking from experience here, when you have multiple children that you're trying to homeschool in the same household at once, it is a lot. It is a lot. So there's nothing wrong with outsourcing, but you still have to be involved. Right? You can't just outsource with that and say, okay.Kimberly Gawne [00:08:57]:Now it's this person's job. I'm they you know, I'm I'm paying them the money. They'll just they'll just take care of everything. You as the parent still have to be an active participant in your child's journey, whatever that looksStuart Webb [00:09:09]:like. So is there a a piece of advice, an offer you can you can provide people who are currently watching this and going, this is me. This is me. I'm I'm kind of intrigued to know more. What what what is the valuable piece of advice that you would you would offer them?Kimberly Gawne [00:09:24]:I would say that the most valuable piece of advice I could offer parents at whatever stage they might be at in their child's journey, This is perhaps more of a reassurance than advice. It is never too late to start over. It's never too late to say, hey. Something needs to change because this isn't working anymore. Right? Yeah. And in order to say that, it requires a sense of accountability as to, like, hey. This isn't working for me. This isn't working for my child, more importantly.Kimberly Gawne [00:09:57]:What can we do to change it? Instead of sitting there and saying, oh, well, you know, it's already ruined. They're already in public school. You know, they're already in private school. It's it's not working, but whatever. What else do you do? I would encourage people to look outside the box. There's so many different solutions for alternative education these days, and public school is just not it's just not where it's at anymore in terms of preparing children for the real world, in terms of fitting a family's flexible lifestyle. It it is just not there. So my piece of advice, look around you, take stock of what the world is like, ask yourself, is this public school system preparing my child for what this world is going to be like in ten years or even in five years.Stuart Webb [00:10:44]:And I'd encourage everybody to go to the link that I'm just showing at the bottom of the screen at the moment, which is www.systemize.me/free-stuff. We'll have links to Kimberly's website, her LinkedIn profile, and and everything there so that you can you can find out more about what Kimberly's talking about here and and and understand the sort of actions that you can take in order to solve these problems if, you are, who, if you're one of the people that, that that you you feel it's Kimberly is talking to you at the moment. Kimberly, can I just sort of find out a little bit more about how you got to be well who you are today? What was it? Was there a book? Was there a was there a a course, a program, a life situation that eventually brought you to the realization that you need to take this sort of responsibility for stepping into the outsourcing breach, if I can put it like that.Kimberly Gawne [00:11:47]:Mhmm. I I just laugh. I'm just chuckling as you're saying that because it was definitely not a book. It's simply not a book or a course, or program. It was, as we mentioned, a life situation, that brought me to starting like, to to starting star students and to being able to, provide that for families. I graduated teachers college in March or rather in April, of twenty twenty. So ifStuart Webb [00:12:15]:people were to graduate.Kimberly Gawne [00:12:17]:I'm telling you. We went home, and it I I remember it to the day. It was Friday, 03/13/2020, because that was the Friday before March break. To make a long story short, we we decided we were taking two weeks, and I never saw my kids again that I was teaching. That was a that that was the five let me call that the the cherry on the icing on the cake of a long line of complaints that I had, with my with the public school system in my six years of post secondary education. So I really had to take a hard look once I graduated. I did that year. I had to take a hard look at, is this something I really want to do? And the answer was no, quite frankly, because it was not something that I was willing to sign myself up for.Kimberly Gawne [00:13:05]:It was not something that I wanted to have be my fulfillment. I could not I I could not see myself doing the a public school teaching job and coming home every day, Monday to Friday, for the next forty years, looking in the mirror and genuinely saying to myself, I did a good job today with those kids.Stuart Webb [00:13:26]:Yeah. Yeah.Kimberly Gawne [00:13:27]:That was what it came down to. That was what it came down to. I realized I could not do that. I could not look myself in the mirror and say I did a good job with those kids. I said if I can't do it after, you know, two years of being in school, in a school, how am I gonna do that for forty? For the next forty, right, or thirty or whatever my code would be in the public school system. So that I mean, that was where it started because I I was kind of I I said, okay. Well, that's not I I can't I can't do that. What am I going to do instead? And star students was born to make a long story short, star students was born from that.Kimberly Gawne [00:14:04]:It was born from the desire to do something different and the desire to see something different for the kids of this generation and for future generations because they don't deserve what they're getting in the public school system. They don't.Stuart Webb [00:14:17]:And and I think that's a that's a a brave action to take at a very tough time for the world anyway. But, I mean, that is a that was a that was a driving force clearly, and and I guess that's what led you to this, which is kind of what I'm expecting you to be thinking at the moment. Do you know he still hasn't asked me that killer question, which I just don't understand why he hasn't got this? So, you know, I'm obviously unable to think what that killer question is because otherwise, I wouldn't now be asking you to say, what's the question that you think I should be asking you so that you can really sort of get me to understand exactly the next actions I should take. So what's that question that you think you would like to answer? And then, obviously, once you've asked it, you need to answer it, Kimberly, because that's the way this works.Kimberly Gawne [00:15:05]:Right. The I would say the killer question that I always that is always the number one thing that people ask me when it comes to homeschooling. They find out that, you know, we provide homeschooling services and and tutoring services. Tutoring services is something that people can, understand because it's in our cultural schema. Right? When people find out that Star Students is very much about homeschooling and we provide a variety of homeschooling supports, the first question that people always ask without fail, when they when they talk about homeschooling is, oh my goodness. How are you gonna homeschool children? They need to be socialized. What do you mean you're taking it from public school or some sort of variety of that? Right? That is the killer question I get asked. I get asked that on podcast.Kimberly Gawne [00:15:51]:I get asked that by parents. I get asked that by, teachers, public school educators. Right? What do you mean? Are you gonna homeschool your children? You can't you can't do that. They won't be socialized. That's my killer question, I would say. Because the answer, I think, really shakes a lot of people. It really makes a lot of people think about how our world is set up. I very simply respond to that question, and I say, is public school actually educating your children, or is it indoctrinating them into the nine to five factory style workforce? Not one person.Kimberly Gawne [00:16:34]:Every single person has that look on their face. They just oh, you're right. If you look into the public school education, history, if you look into the history of how public school education got started, it was John d Rockefeller that started our public school education. Not to get on a history tip. I am a history fan. I'm a history major, actually. Not to get on a history tip, but John d Rockefeller started the public school education system with the intent with the publicized intent of making sure that he had factory workers and not thinkers. So if that doesn't say to you about the intentions of what the public school system intends to do to your children, if that doesn't say something to you, I I don't know what will.Kimberly Gawne [00:17:25]:That that's my killer that's my question. Gives people a lot to think about.Stuart Webb [00:17:32]:And I was about to say and I think that is an interesting point at which to say, this is where people let's go back once again. Have a look at what Kimberly's, Kimberly says in in her profile and and and the, the the website get and where where you talk about getting getting started with with homeschooling. So, Kimberly, I'm just gonna, I'm gonna leave people with that thought, and ask them to check you out further. And at this point, I'm just gonna say, look.

Andrew For America is starting to believe that everything we are ever told through our "screens" is a lie. Conspiracies are seemingly becoming mainstream, and Andrew believes that the culprit is the "intelligence communities" of the world. In this episode, Andrew talks about how Neil Postman believes that we are "entertaining ourselves to death," the failures of Dan Bongino and Kash Patel, how Tulsi Gabbard is allegedly abolishing Operation Mockingbird, how Obama was allegedly the mastermind behind the Russian Collusion hoax, how the Rockefeller's used feminism to get women into the work force and to get children away from their parents so the government could indoctrinate them, and how Andrew is starting to believe that reality is "scripted." Andrew plays clips from Neil Postman, Alex Jones, Shawn Ryan, Yuval Noah Harari, Ghislane Maxwell, former CIA operator John Stockwell, and former CIA director William Casey to help illustrate his points.The song selection is the song, "Wish" by the band Much The Same.Visit allegedlyrecords.com and check out all of the amazing punk rock artists!Visit soundcloud.com/andrewforamerica1984 to check out Andrew's music!Like and Follow The Politics & Punk Rock Podcast PLAYLIST on Spotify!!!Check it out here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1Y4rumioeqvHfaUgRnRxsy...politicsandpunkrockpodcast.comhttps://linktr.ee/andrewforamericaFollow Future Is Now Coalition on Instagram @FutureIsOrgwww.futureis.org

Jména jako Vanderbilt, Rockefeller nebo Carnegie vám jsou určitě povědomý. Jsou to tři z těch nejbohatších "new money" mužů, kteří pohádkově zbohatli během industrializace Ameriky a vládli jako oligarchové celé zemi. Na druhé straně byly miliony chudých lidí, kteří bydleli ve slumech a neměli co jíst. Zlatý věk přinesl Americe status velmoci a technologický pokrok a nakonec taky nějaká práva a narovnání příležitostí.
All nations make rules -- through their constitutions, legislatures, bureaucratic practices – about who counts as a citizen. American by Birth examines the role of the Supreme Court – particularly a ruling from 1898 that is still precedent today. Wong Kim Ark v. United States interpreted the language of the 14th Amendment to answer whether a man born in the United States was a citizen. The Court ruled in favor of Wong Kim Ark and held that the 14th Amendment extends to children of immigrants who were born in the United States. Using the work of legal scholars, political scientists, and historians, Drs. Julie L. Novkov and Carol Nackenoff provide an extended biography of Wong Kim Ark and the historic 1898 landmark case – but also a biography of US Citizenship from the colonies to the present. American by Birth: Wong Kim Ark and the Battle for Citizenship (UP of Kansas, 2021) concludes with an impressive chapter that contextualizes birthright citizenship globally and within the context of American politics and scholarly debates – with an emphasis on the vulnerability of birthright citizenship to indirect and direct change. Dr. Julie L. Novkov is Professor of Political Science and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and interim dean of Rockefeller college at the University at Albany, SUNY. She is the author of Racial Union: Law, Intimacy, and the White State in Alabama, 1865-1954 (UMichigan, 2008).

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA JÓVENES 2025“HOY ES TENDENCIA”Narrado por: Daniel RamosDesde: Connecticut, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church===================|| www.drministries.org ||===================18 de JulioEs mejor dar que recibir«Hay más dicha en dar que en recibir». Hechos 20: 35¿Alguna vez te has preguntado quién fue el hombre más rico que haya existido sobre la tierra? Según el New York Times, esa persona fue John D. Rockefeller. Desde una edad temprana, estableció la filosofía de su vida: «No trabajes por el dinero, deja que el dinero trabaje por ti». A los 23 años, Rockefeller ya era millonario. A los 50, acumulaba miles de millones y era conocido como «el hombre más rico del mundo». Llegó a controlar el noventa por ciento de la extracción, refinación, transporte y distribución de petróleo en Estados Unidos.A pesar de su inmensa fortuna, Rockefeller era un hombre miserablemente rico. En su obsesión por acumular riquezas y alcanzar el éxito, sacrificó su salud. A los 53 años, su cuerpo estaba deteriorado por enfermedades, y se dice que los médicos le dieron menos de un año de vida. Su deterioro físico tenía sus raíces en su actitud egoísta; deseaba monopolizar todo para sí mismo, sin compartir con los demás. Su lema en los negocios era: «La competencia es un pecado, por eso la eliminamos». Ahora la codicia lo estaba destruyendo. El hombre que podía comprar cualquier restaurante del mundo tenía que seguir una dieta de leche y galletas.Durante esta crisis, Rockefeller reevaluó su vida y tomó una decisión trascendental: compartir una parte de su fortuna con los demás. Comenzó a contribuir con iglesias, hospitales e investigaciones médicas. Al reflexionar sobre su propia mortalidad, se cuestionó por qué no invertir en algo que perdurara más allá de su propia existencia. Fundó la Universidad de Chicago y la Universidad Rockefeller en Nueva York. Este cambio radical no solo revitalizó al magnate, sino que también le devolvió la salud. Su generosidad demostró ser terapéutica; tanto es así que John D. Rockefeller vivió hasta los 97 años.Las palabras de Cristo conservan hoy en día el mismo valor que cuando él las pronunció: «Hay más dicha en dar que en recibir». Vivir una vida de servicio abnegado no solo beneficia a otros, también nos hace bien a nosotros mismos. El investigador Philippe Tobler, de la Universidad de Zúrich, afirmó: «No es necesario convertirse en un mártir abnegado para sentirse más feliz. Basta con ser un poco más generoso». «Dios amó tanto al mundo que dio a su único Hijo», ¿no te parece que podemos dar un poco más?

Brian Skrobonja talks about the essentials of building a multi-generational legacy that lasts. He breaks down a blueprint rooted in time-tested principles and inspired by the same structural thinking used by families like the Rockefellers. Tune in to hear the assumptions that leave heirs rudderless, the mistakes that breed entitlement, and why conventional financial tools often fail under the weight of multi-century ambitions. Whether you're building wealth or preparing to pass it on, this episode will challenge your thinking and equip you with a legacy framework designed to stand the test of time. Brian starts by reframing real financial success. It's not just what you accumulate—but what you pass on. Without intentional legacy planning, families risk watching their values and vision fade after just one generation. Mindset 1—The absence of active legacy planning. Too many families assume wealth will transfer naturally from bank account to mindset. But without a clear plan, the next generation never learns—and that's how legacies crumble. According to Brian, active legacy planning is not built on ticking a checkbox. You need a blueprint that makes everything else—governance, communication, liquidity—actually work. Brian says, “In every family I've worked with, eventually the time comes and one question rises: What happens when we're no longer here to steer the ship?” Most families don't answer that until it's too late. For Brian, legal paperwork alone won't cut it. True generational planning requires a living, breathing roadmap that captures your values, evolves with your family, and keeps everyone aligned for decades. Brian highlights a dangerous myth: “Signing a will means we're done and everything will be taken care of.” In reality, active planning means constant alignment, revisiting, revising, and re-engaging the whole family. Use Brian's four-part legacy framework to build clarity and momentum. 1. Define your why—write down what your wealth is for. 2. Create a manifesto, explain it plain English, and make it accessible to all. 3. Invite the next generation—have low-pressure and honest conversations with the next generation. 4. Always revisit your plan—keep it alive, current, and reflective of your evolving world. Mindset 2—Scarcity thinking sabotages legacy. Fear of spending or deploying capital kills bold moves, breeds conservatism, and shrinks your family's vision for impact. How to overcome a scarcity mindset. Audit your past decisions for fear-based choices. Then reframe with an abundance vision and build purpose-driven allocation buckets that multiply impact. Mindset 3—Secrecy and poor communication. Brian explains that when wealth conversations stay behind closed doors, heirs grow entitled, misinformed, or resentful. Mindset 4—The next generation cannot learn wealth management through osmosis. Watching you isn't enough. They need education. Mindset 5—Lacking a unified multi-generational strategy. For Brian, a will or a trust isn't enough. Without a cohesive blueprint, every generation is forced to reinvent the wheel, wasting time, money, and vision. Mindset 6—Weak governance weakens families. Brian highlights that good intentions and informal chats aren't enough. You need clear roles, rules, and decision frameworks to keep wealth and relationships intact. Mindset 7—The over reliance on conventional tools. If your portfolio is all accounts and products, you're missing the chance to create a private banking system that cushions volatility and funds opportunity. Brian highlights the need for flexibility. Have an inventory of tools, understand their limits, then build liquidity through mechanisms like build banking. This ensures your strategy stays stable, resilient, and future-ready. Mindset 8—Poor cash flow management crushes vision. Ambition means nothing if spending is unchecked. When families can't see real-time cash flow, legacies stall—fast. Mindset 9—No legacy mindset. Often, the first generation builds wealth. Generation two spends it. Generation three starts over. That's the cycle—unless you teach them the how and the why of wealth preservation early. Brian shares a way to stop entitlement. When you educate heirs about purpose—not just access to wealth—you shift the mindset from consumption to contribution. Mindset 10—No capital allocation plan. A legacy without funding is just a dream. Real impact requires dollars earmarked for growth, trust, and education initiatives from the start. Brian explains—It's not about protecting wealth. It's about activating it. Legacy is about empowering future generations to dream big, move boldly, and live true to your mission. Intentionality is the multiplier. The more proactive and clear your planning, the higher your family's odds of sustained success—across decades, not just years. When your family is aligned, everything changes. Confusion gives way to confidence. Inherited wealth becomes a platform for innovation, service, and lasting impact.

Most of us grew up believing school was our golden ticket — a noble path to knowledge, success, and the elusive American Dream. Turns out, that dream was engineered to keep you obedient, predictable, and poor. In this episode, Chris, Saied, and Rajeel peel back the curtain on the greatest con ever run on the masses: the education system. With wit, fire, and a touch of irreverence, they trace the origins of modern schooling to the Prussian model — a system deliberately designed to churn out soldiers, compliant workers, and docile consumers for industrialists like Rockefeller and Carnegie. It's not a bug. It's the feature.➡️ We break down how the very structure of school — from its bells and rows to its obsession with grades — trains you to tolerate boredom, obey authority, and measure your worth by someone else's approval. If you've ever wondered why entrepreneurship feels foreign, risk feels scary, and freedom feels unattainable, this is your wake-up call. The machine that conditioned you doesn't even exist anymore, yet it's still teaching you to fit in and punishing you if you don't. Tune in as we expose the scam, laugh through the pain, and (most importantly) show you how to unlearn the lies — for yourself and your kids.

His books include Crimes of the Educators and Deep State: The Invisible Government Behind the Scenes.In this hard-hitting conversation, Faust and Alex dive into the engineered culture war designed to divide and distract, tracing its roots to a corrupted education system and the centralized power of the Federal Reserve. They unpack the globalist blueprint for mass control — from false flags and psychological operations to the subversion of faith, family, and freedom.

Americans have a long history of obsession with the ultrarich, from Carnegie and Rockefeller to Bezos and Musk. And today, the gap between the rich and the poor is bigger than ever as the billionaire class has ascended to new heights. In his new book, The Haves and Have-Yachts, New Yorker staff writer Evan Osnos explores the extravagant lifestyles of the wealthy and their outsize influence on politics. He sat down with Apple News In Conversation host Shumita Basu to talk about this unique moment — when billionaires are both resented and envied by the public — and what it means for the rest of us.
In this inspiring episode of IngenioUs, host Dr. MelissaMorriss-Olson speaks with Eileen Moran Brown, founding president of Cambridge College, whose legacy in higher education is both bold and deeply human. With no blueprint but an unwavering belief in the potential of underservedlearners, Eileen built one of the most progressive and inclusive colleges in the country—long before terms like “access” and “equity” were part of thehigher ed lexicon.From her early years teaching in an inner-city high school, toco-founding a college that transformed thousands of lives, Eileen's story is one of visionary leadership, fierce empathy, and courageous innovation. Along the way, she encountered setbacks, navigated politics, and leaned on a networkof unexpected allies—including a Rockefeller, a former student named Patti LaBelle, and a cohort of students many had written off.This is an unforgettable conversation that reminds us what's possible when you lead from a place of deep purpose and refuse to give up.

John D Rockefeller built his fortune refining oil and founding Standard Oil. A pioneer of the U.S. business trust, he helped shape the structure of the modern corporation. His influence lives on in companies like Chevron, ExxonMobil, and ConocoPhillips, and in institutions like the Rockefeller Foundation. But not everyone saw him as a visionary. President Theodore Roosevelt branded the Rockefeller family a “malefactor of great wealth,” and Rockefeller's monopoly helped spark America's first antitrust laws. To some, he was a ruthless robber baron; to others, a generous philanthropist who gave away over $500 million. BBC business editor Simon Jack and journalist Zing Tsjeng unpack the contradictions of Rockefeller's empire. Can great giving make up for great power?Good Bad Billionaire is the podcast exploring the lives of the super-rich and famous, tracking their wealth, philanthropy, business ethics and success. There are leaders who made their money in Silicon Valley, on Wall Street and in high street fashion. From iconic celebrities and CEOs to titans of technology, the podcast unravels tales of fortune, power, economics, ambition and moral responsibility, before inviting you to make up your own mind: are they good, bad or just another billionaire?
What happens when parents stop outsourcing their values to a broken system? What if the very institutions we trust with our kids are doing more harm than good? This isn't some theoretical debate anymore - it's happening in real time, and parents across the country are waking up to the dystopian reality of government-run education. From failing test scores to flat-out ideological indoctrination, the public school monopoly is collapsing under its own weight. In this episode, we confront that collapse head-on and explore the massive cultural and parental awakening unfolding before our eyes. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS Joining Brian is Andrew Clark from Yes. Every Kid., an advocacy group on the front lines of the parental rights revolution. Together, they break down the cultural power struggle happening in classrooms, the pushback from teachers' unions, and the growing number of parents refusing to comply. The spark? COVID gave parents a front-row seat to the madness. Now, those same parents are asking tough questions and demanding better for their kids. This episode dives deep into the shocking proficiency stats coming out of cities like Chicago and Baltimore - and why spending $85,000 per student still leads to total failure. But it's not just about the numbers. It's about who owns your child's future: you or the state? You'll hear how the legacy of Horace Mann and Rockefeller still haunts modern education, and why the time for a paradigm shift is now. Brian and Andrew don't just critique the system - they lay out what's next. Education Savings Accounts, micro-schools, homeschooling pods, and real freedom of choice. This isn't about left or right. It's about getting kids an education that actually works. And spoiler alert: it's the private sector and local communities leading the charge. If you're a parent, grandparent, or anyone who cares about the future of this country, this episode is a wake-up call. It's time to stop tolerating mediocrity and start demanding freedom. Because when the system grips tighter, more families slip through its fingers - and that might just save the next generation. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!
This is Jim Marrs' final interview. His work will endure and will continue changing people's lives. Jim was going through dialysis while we were preparing for this interview. He wasn't feeling well, and I asked him if he wanted to postpone our talk. He refused. His commitment to this conversation - and more than anything, to sharing his work - was too important. He was one of the last true journalists. He did what he loved until the very end. I was privileged to call him a friend. Jim is no longer with us, but his legacy will endure. R.I.P. Jim. Chilling initiations. Big banks and money manipulations. Possible links to the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Adamses, and Bushes. Reviewing the evidence, documents, and connections, The Illuminati: The Secret Society That Hijacked the World by award-winning journalist and author Jim Marrs shines a light on the history, inner workings, and continuing influence of this hidden power structure. Surveying a range of voices - from those who dismiss the Illuminati as a short-lived group of little consequence to those who challenge government narratives - Marrs cuts through both wild speculation and deliberate silence to reveal the true scope of this clandestine order. He explores their origins as The Ancient and Illuminated Seers of Bavaria, the symbolism of the all-seeing eye and pyramid on the U.S. dollar bill, and the so-called Protocols for usurping national governments and pursuing control of the world stage. Marrs connects these threads to today's logos, elite fraternities like Skull and Bones, the Knights Templar, historic revolutions, and more. The Illuminati is a deep, fearless exposé - connecting wealth, power, and secrecy into a narrative that continues to shape the world we live in. Through Jim's voice, we're reminded why it matters to keep asking questions - especially the dangerous ones.

In this marathon episode, Matt Ehret and Ghost peel back the layers of the modern financial Ponzi scheme and its deep philosophical roots. They start by dissecting the $700 trillion derivatives market, exposing how deregulation and speculative gambling replaced real productive investment since the repeal of Glass-Steagall. The conversation explores how this system was built on fiat debt slavery, designed to keep generations trapped in perpetual repayment while a handful of banks and hedge funds consolidate control. Matt and Ghost also trace how Darwinian and social Darwinist theories, promoted by figures like Thomas Huxley and later repackaged into corporate science, became the cultural backbone that justifies economic exploitation, eugenics, and the manufactured scarcity mindset. They show how these ideas seeped into everything from the Rockefellers' stranglehold on medicine to modern “pump-and-dump” crypto scams. Throughout, they challenge libertarian and Keynesian dogmas alike, explaining why neither camp offers a real path to freedom. The hosts call for a return to first principles, justice, moral economies, and honest money...and question whether Americans will ever wake up to the reality that they're living in a rigged casino designed to fail.
