One of the things I like about being on the Internet is that I get to meet the actual humans! There are people I've had real relationships with over many years, and some of them I've just never gotten to see in person yet. Making content on the Internet helps connect you to other people making content on the Internet, and if you're good at making friends, sometimes you can make a new friend. One such friend is featured in this podcast, and it's Annalisa Hanson—she is a therapist, who made some great content on TikTok, and then we hopped on the phone because we were such mutual fans, and then she joined me here on the podcast. Another guest on this episode is Dr. Mason Hargrave, we are also Clubhouse, and then he invited me to record a podcast in what was his apartment at the time. It's a classic.Today's conversation grew out of a phone call with Annalisa and subsequent calls with Brandon In, Mason, Ahmed Tahseen, and my daughter Quinn.We “delve” into AI chatbots as a source of relationship advice. It's quite the cautionary tale.The music is by Owen Muir, with some tunes a gift from my friend John Vanderslice. This is a public episode.

I'm worried my teen will ruin the holiday for me. Even saying that out loud feels uncomfortable. But if you're parenting teens or adult kids, you've probably had some version of this thought at one point or another. The holidays can magnify distance, tension, and unmet expectations, leaving us bracing for moods instead of enjoying the moments we hoped would feel meaningful. In this episode, I explore what's really underneath that fear. It's not about your teen being difficult — it's about how easily we tie our sense of connection and peace to how our kids show up. I'll explore the mindset trap of emotional outsourcing, why connection starts to feel conditional in this phase of motherhood, and how letting go can feel both necessary and terrifying at the same time. Join me to learn how to create connection without waiting for your teen to meet you halfway, and how to let go of the belief that your child gets to decide whether the holidays — or your relationship — feel good.

In 2024, Chef Eric Pham got the call that his restaurant was on fire, days before opening. He considered calling it - but he found a new location and opened Khue's Kitchen. In 2025, the Minnesota Star Tribune named it the New Restaurant of the Year. Eric talks about growing up in his family's restaurant, Quang; he talks about dropping out of college to get a job at Spoon and Stable, and his goal as a 25-year-old to create a restaurant perfect for younger diners. High technique, affordable prices, and lined up with his experience as a Vietnamese kid growing up in Minnesota.

Share a commentEver notice how a life can look successful on the outside while quietly unraveling from within? We dig into Ecclesiastes 10 to expose five habits that sabotage character, corrode communities, and leave even gifted people vulnerable: indulgent comfort, chronic neglect, shallow love of money, a loose tongue, and aiming at the wrong target with flawless precision. Through a vivid story of the Great Wall of China and Solomon's piercing proverbs, we connect breached empires to bribed gatekeepers and then to our own hearts, where integrity—not image—guards the door.We shift the spotlight from “those leaders out there” to the influence each of us carries at home, at work, and in our circles of faith. Solomon's contrast is sharp: pampered rulers who feast at dawn versus disciplined leaders who feast for strength. We talk about what dignified leadership looks like in ordinary life—self-control, service over self, and a steady refusal to let appetites set the agenda. We challenge the cultural chorus that “money answers everything,” unpack why wealth can amplify a voice but cannot grant wisdom, and show how indifference turns small leaks into structural collapse.The turning point is repentance—literally a change of direction. We explore how re-aiming your life begins with admitting the wrong target, then building practices that keep you aligned: daily intake of truth, timely restraint, relational maintenance, and words that heal more than they harm. From social posts to private thoughts, we learn to guard the tongue and steward influence with humility and courage. Walk away with a clear grid for decisions, a renewed aim for your ambitions, and hope that change is possible today.If this conversation helped you refocus, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a review to tell us which “leak” you're fixing first.Support the showStephen's latest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardback

What happens when a high-income professional realizes their entire financial future is at risk when they stop working? In this episode, Dr. Jeff Anzalone, a periodontist-turned-financial educator, shares how a freak ski accident changed his perspective on income. He realized that relying solely on his practice left him vulnerable. The accident was a wake-up call that led him to build multiple income streams, ensuring financial security and freedom.  Throughout the conversation, Dr. Anzalone and hosts Cameron Christiansen and Anthony Faso discuss why high-income professionals are at risk when they rely on a single income source and how diversifying with passive income can mitigate that risk. Dr. Anzalone also dives into his journey from being a debt-free dentist to building streams of income that freed him from his "job," offering actionable advice on how anyone can achieve financial freedom through smart investments.    In This Episode: - Dr. Anzalone's ski accident and the wake-up call - The risks of relying on one income stream - What wealthy people do differently - How Dr. Anzalone started building multiple income streams - The difference between being debt-free and financially free - Practicing due diligence when participating in syndications - Why Dr. Anzalone is investing in RV & mobile home parks - The first step to building passive income and multiple streams Resources:

Proverbs 18:9–12 contrasts careless living with steadfast trust in the Lord. The slothful person—slow in duty and effort—is counted as a brother to the destroyer, for negligence tears down what diligence builds. Yet the name of the Lord stands as a strong tower where the righteous find refuge and safety. Meanwhile, the rich man trusts in his wealth as a high wall, though it is only imagination. Pride lifts a man toward destruction, but humility prepares the heart for honor. In today's Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart explore how diligence preserves, how God protects, and how humility positions a person for true exaltation under the Lord's care.

As Hanukkah begins, let's explore this beautiful holiday which most Christians (including myself) don't know from a Biblical and historical perspective. In this episode, we'll explore the powerful and often overlooked message of Hanukkah—not as a holiday on the fringes of faith, but as a deeply prophetic and personal invitation for women to rededicate what the world has tried to ruin.If you've ever felt burned out, worn down, or like your faith has been invaded by spiritual confusion or cultural compromise, this episode is for you. I take you through the historical and prophetic backdrop of Hanukkah, including how it connects to the Book of Daniel, how Jesus honored it in the Gospel of John, and why its themes of dedication, light, and holy resistance speak directly to modern women.From the miracle of the oil to the cleansing of the desecrated Temple, this episode is filled with biblical truth, historical insight, and soul-deep reflection. I also share how this message intersects with my own journey—especially the season when I tried to blend Christian language with New Age practices and ended up spiritually exhausted.Together, we'll talk about what it means to:Reclaim your sacred groundOffer God your “small oil” when it feels like you have nothing leftBecome a vessel of His light instead of trying to perform for approvalLet go of spiritual counterfeits and rededicate your soul to GodIf this episode helped you rededicate part of your life to God or see Hanukkah in a whole new light, would you take 30 seconds to leave a quick review? Your reviews help The Illuminated Woman podcast reach more women who are ready to reclaim truth and walk in holy clarity.The Illuminated Connection Call is a free conversation where we talk heart to heart—no pressure, no agenda. I'd love to hear what's on your heart, where you are in your life and spiritual journey, and what you're sensing God may be stirring in you. Whether you're just beginning to question the New Age path, exploring Biblical truth, are already living a God-led life, or simply feeling lost and unsure—this space is for you.

This week we are starting the tale of the most famous of all British Fascists, Oswald Mosley.Born into privilege and the certainty that he would never have to work for a living should he not wish to, Oswald should have enjoyed an idilic childhood. However the lack of a consistent father-figure mixed with rampant narcissism led him to pursue a career in the Military as a means of gaining the recognition and praise that he felt he was due.Joining the army as a teenager (straight in as an officer, naturally) at the very outset of WWI, Oswald Mosley proceeded to have the most 'Meh' of military careers. Joining the Royal Flying Corps so that he could feel special but spending much more time chasing older women in England than he did flying in France, Mosley nevertheless believed that he was exactly the sort of person who should speak for the 'War Generation...'...As soon as he got back from the bone setter.

Episode 25:50 This Stuff Can Ruin Your Health!!! 15 Reasons Why You Should NEVER Ingest Aspartame (NutraSweet)  Did you know that the artificial sweetener Aspartame (NutraSweet) was originally designed by the pharmaceutical company G.D. Searle to be a drug for stomach ulcers? It was, but it failed miserably. However, despite its inability to treat or prevent ulcers, there WAS something about Aspartame that the researchers found interesting: It had a sweet taste to it. This sweet taste intrigued the researchers and inspired them to look into making Aspartame a sugar substitute. Why? Because an artificial sweetener would make them, and the company, a ton of money!!! Unfortunately, there was a problem: In research studies performed on rats, Aspartame was shown to cause tumors: Brain tumors, pancreatic tumors, uterine tumors and breast tumors. That's not good… and SHOULD HAVE prevented Aspartame from ever getting approval by the FDA for human consumption. So, what happened? How did Aspartame get approved? It's a fascinating, and disgusting, story… one I share on this week's episode. I also share 15 dangerous side-effects of Aspartame… each providing a reason why you should NEVER consume it. PLEASE give this episode a good listen and then share it with everyone you know… especially those who like to consume "diet" foods and drinks that contain Aspartame (NutraSweet).

The journey to becoming a published author is rarely a straight line, but few paths have been as globally adventurous, or involved a greater number of pachyderms and famous spies, as that of Vaseem Khan.From his decade living in India to his new role continuing the legacy of James Bond's very own gadget master, Q, here are the key takeaways and inspiration points from a writer who proves that persistence truly is the only non-negotiable trait in this business.100 Rejections and the Power of Persistence.Vaseem's story is a powerful reminder that rejection is not destiny, it's just part of the process.After being encouraged by an English teacher in school, he wrote his first novel, a comic fantasy, at the age of 17. The response? A swift, harsh rejection. This was followed by a staggering two decades of writing and seven more rejected novels across various genres.* A Brutal Education: Over that period, Vaseem collected over a hundred rejection letters, describing the feeling as “like being kicked in the bollocks repeatedly every few years.”* The Commitment to the Dream: What kept him going was the fundamental love for books and the idea of being a writer. He believes those who last the course never give up on that core dream.* The Breakthrough Moment: His career finally launched at age 40 when he tapped into his personal experience: his 10 years living in India. He wrote The Unexpected Inheritance of Inspector Chopra - a crime novel set in modern Mumbai featuring a serious policeman who inherits a baby elephant. His editor loved it precisely because it was “completely different to anything we'd seen in the crime fiction market.”Vaseem's Advice on Finding Your Voice: You have to write what you know, or at least, what you are uniquely positioned to write. The trick is to do something “completely different, but the same, take an established genre, stick to its core beats, but tweak the formula just enough to offer a unique perspective.”Commissioned by Ian Fleming: The Q Mystery Series.Perhaps the most exciting new development in Vaseem's career is his commission by the Ian Fleming Estate to continue the story of James Bond's gadget master, Q.The request was clear: they did not want another straight spy novel.* The Perfect Pitch: The Estate asked for “something halfway between Mick Herren's Slow Horses and Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club.“* The Premise: In the first book, Quantum of Menace, Q is booted out of MI6 at age 50. He returns to his small hometown, having left a “messy past behind,” to reinvestigate the mysterious death of a childhood friend. The hope is that he will evolve into an amateur detective, solving mysteries in this small-town setting.* The 007 Cameo: For Bond fans, Vaseem confirmed that he's included plenty of Easter eggs, and Commander James Bond “does make a meaningful appearance in the second half of the book.”The Single Most Important Piece of Writing AdviceWhen asked for the one crucial tip he gives in his workshops, Vaseem didn't hesitate:“The number one reason that books are rejected by agents is because the quality of the book does not meet their minimum standard for them to be able to have confidence sending it out to a publisher.”His concrete advice is to focus on craft before submission:* Understand Your Genre: Know the standards for prose, plotting, and characterization required for your specific genre (e.g., crime fiction needs a strong hook and right ‘beats' over literary prose).* Get Quality Feedback: You must get feedback. Don't rely solely on friends; consider paying an experienced, trusted editor who has a proven history in the industry.* Don't Ruin the Hook: You normally only get one good chance with a brilliant idea. Bad execution will ruin your chance with an agent, forcing you to write something else. Make the best possible fist of your manuscript before you send it in.Vaseem's interview was a masterclass in commitment, creativity, and the power of finding that one unique idea that can change everything. You can find his books, including his new Q novel, on his website and at all major bookstores.Catch the full interview with Vaseem Khan on our YouTube channel: This is a public episode.

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com plunges listeners into a fast-moving, razor-sharp conversation about the future of AI, healthcare, education, and mental health. John Rush and guest Steve House unravel the myths and realities of artificial intelligence—asking whether we're facing a technological revolution or sleepwalking into unforeseen danger. Will AI become the greatest diagnostic tool in medical history, spotting disease earlier and cheaper than ever? Or will Big Pharma fight to keep control of the system AI threatens to expose? The hour also challenges America's failing education model. If AI can tailor learning to every student, why are we still trapped in a one-size-fits-all system designed for averages, not excellence? And what happens when deepfakes become indistinguishable from reality, or when AI avatars blur emotional and spiritual boundaries? John and Steve then tackle the more profound cultural questions: Why is European bread easier on the body than ours? Are we unintentionally creating a nation dependent on chronic disease? Has our mental health crisis worsened by constantly digging up the past instead of building a stronger future? Hour 1 mixes innovation, caution, and big-picture thinking—inviting listeners to ask: Are we ready for the world AI is about to create? HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason dives into one of the most misrepresented narratives in America: Are young people truly priced out of the housing market, or have expectations changed more than reality? With no guests this hour, John Rush takes calls, challenges the headlines, and breaks down why so many millennials believe homeownership is impossible—while others their age are quietly making it happen. Should a first-time buyer expect 2,400 square feet, designer finishes, and two new cars in the driveway? Or is the real path to wealth still found in sacrifice, fixer-uppers, and sweat equity? John dismantles the "can't afford a home" storyline by exposing the role of lifestyle inflation, comparison culture, and social media. He also reveals how Trump's newly lowered CAFE standards could immediately reduce the cost of new vehicles—something critics refuse to acknowledge. The hour ends with a look at Colorado's construction-defect law and its unintended consequence: wiping out starter condos that once made owning a home far more attainable. Hour 2 challenges everything you think you know about affordability, expectations, and building a life you can actually afford. HOUR 3 Hour 3 explodes with energy as John Rush and Jerzee Joe (https://www.youtube.com/@jerzeejoe3145) open with sharp cultural commentary, outrageous news stories, and a hard look at how the erosion of family structure is impacting crime, discipline, and society. Why are celebrities saying bizarre things? Why are harmless gun-range photos turning into arrests overseas? And what happens when statistics on fatherlessness collide with uncomfortable political truths? Then the hour pivots into a powerful economic deep dive with Scott Garliss of Bent Pine Capitol (https://x.com/CScottGarliss), who reveals what the Federal Reserve may do next—and how a single decision could ignite or stall the entire U.S. economy. Will the Fed begin cutting rates? Could mortgage portability reshape home ownership? And is the housing market one bold policy away from roaring back to life? From government overreach to Fed strategy, from climate hysteria to bank stability, Hour 3 is packed with provocative questions, sharp analysis, and insights you won't hear anywhere else.

The headlines are loud. AI stocks are wobbling. The market is jumpy. If you are retired or getting close, it is easy to wonder if this is the moment everything falls apart. In this episode of Kitchen Table Finance, Dave Shotwell and Nick Nauta talk through the recent AI stock jitters and what market volatility really means for long term investors, especially retirees. They explain why a three or four percent pullback is not the end of the world, why investor psychology can do more damage than the market itself, and how a good financial plan is built with downturns already in mind. They also revisit some core planning habits that help people sleep at night in rough markets, like keeping enough cash set aside, understanding your true risk level, and having a plan for what you will do if fear pushes you toward drastic moves. Check out the YouTube Video for this episode HERE. In this episode, you will hear about: Why the recent concern about an “AI bubble” feels familiar if you remember the internet boom How to think about short term volatility versus long term economic growth Why pessimists probably should not be stock investors in the first place The role of cash reserves for retirees and people close to retirement How action bias and fear can lead to harmful timing decisions Why your own diversified portfolio rarely matches the worst headlines How to “de catastrophize” the news and think in realistic ranges of outcomes Practical ideas for people who feel so anxious that they are losing sleep How a financial planner can act as a calm sounding board when markets are rough Whether you are already retired or just starting to think about what your future income will look like, this conversation can help you separate noise from what actually matters.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is being accused of war crimes after allegedly making a so-called “double-tap” strike against Venezuelan drug traffickers. But it may just be a double distraction, allowing critics of Trump both to avoid more serious questions about immigration policy and to pull attention from the tragic shooting of two National Guards in DC by an Afghani national. This week, the guys are joined again by Matthew Peterson to discuss US operations in South America and the Left's unsubtle hints that soldiers might need to disobey orders.
