That's why World Tree's innovative approach to carbon capture through a remarkable natural technology, the Empress Splendor tree, stands out.Doug Willmore, CEO of World Tree, explained on today's episode how their model leverages the fastest growing hardwood tree in the world to address climate change while creating real economic opportunities. "World Tree represents the most complex, technologically advanced carbon capture system on the planet, and it's called a tree," Doug said. "It's the fastest growing hardwood tree in the world... and will have a 60-foot tall tree within eight to ten years."What sets World Tree apart is not only the speed and effectiveness of its tree-based carbon capture, but also the company's commitment to sustainable, long-term impact. When harvested, the Empress Splendor trees regrow from the stump, offering five harvests from a single planting. The lumber is used to create high-value products like musical instruments and furniture, locking away carbon for generations.In addition to their environmental impact, World Tree is making waves in the investment world. The company is currently raising capital through a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign, allowing individual investors to participate directly in their annual "vintages" of tree plantings. Doug noted, "Little old World Tree has partnered with now 370 small farmers and 1,500 small investors over these nine years. The value of the assets that we have planted: more than $300 million."The EcoTree program offers a triple-bottom-line impact: profits for farmers, returns for investors, and massive climate benefits for the planet. "We call it putting your money where your heart is," Doug shared.Investors can participate in World Tree's EcoTree program by visiting ecotreeprogram.com. It offers a powerful opportunity to align investments with values while potentially earning attractive returns.Today's episode showcases how climate solutions can be tangible, accessible, and profitable, thanks to innovative models like World Tree.tl;dr:World Tree uses the Empress Splendor tree to capture carbon and create valuable long-lasting products.CEO Doug Willmore shares how World Tree partners with small farmers and investors for mutual benefit.World Tree is raising capital through regulated crowdfunding, offering individuals a way to invest in climate solutions.Doug identifies his superpower as "love," applying trust, passion and positivity in leadership and business.Doug encourages embracing love, possibility and trust to build more impactful and fulfilling professional relationships.How to Develop Love As a SuperpowerDoug Willmore defines his superpower as "love." He explained in today's episode that love is "the most underused word in business" and emphasized its importance not just in ideas but in people, partnerships and daily work. Doug shared, "Love shows up when you dwell on possibility... it's love of people, love of the things you get to wake up and do every day." He noted that truly loving your goals and the work you do ensures the resilience needed to weather difficult times.Doug illustrated this superpower with the story of how he joined World Tree. After a successful career in healthcare and public service, Doug was drawn back into the private sector by his passion for fighting climate change. When he met Wendy Burton, World Tree's founder, they "fell in love" — not romantically, but with each other's vision and mission. Doug emphasized that their shared love for the idea of scaling a nature-based climate solution became the foundation for building a thriving organization that now manages over $300 million worth of trees.Doug offered actionable tips for developing love as a strength:Look for reasons to say "yes" rather than "no" in business decisions.Dwell on possibility instead of focusing immediately on barriers.Choose to trust people and give them opportunities to succeed.Stay connected to the passion behind your goals to maintain motivation.Avoid letting money-driven decisions crowd out purpose and heart.By following Doug's example and advice, you can make love a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileDoug Willmore (he/him):CEO, World TreeAbout World Tree: World Tree is focused on nature-based solutions to some of our biggest global challenges. We develop carbon forestry projects for the purpose of native forest protection, renewable timber production and carbon sequestration.World Tree funnels private capital into the regeneration of undervalued farmland through Empress-based forestry.Our goals are to:- Build the value and improve productivity of under-utilized farmland- Create robust returns for investors and landowners- Introduce a new, sustainable hardwood lumber to the U.S. market.- Protect and rebuild eco-systems through regenerative farming practices- Generate nature-based carbon offsets to tackle the climate crisisWorld Tree employs regenerative farming practices that restore ecosystem function, soils, and biodiversity.

Legal Battles Heat Up in Kouri Richins Murder Case as Trial Nears

As the high-profile case of Kouri Richins moves toward trial, prosecutors and defense attorneys are locked in a battle over the admissibility of key evidence that could shape the outcome. Richins is charged with the murder of her husband, Eric Richins, who died in March 2022 from a fentanyl overdose. With conflicting narratives surrounding the investigation, both sides are arguing over whether law enforcement followed proper procedures in collecting crucial materials. From the beginning, investigators struggled to determine whether Eric Richins' death was an accident, suicide, or homicide. Detective Jeff O'Driscoll, one of the lead investigators, testified that Kouri Richins was not initially considered a prime suspect. "We knew Eric had died of a fentanyl overdose but did not know whether it was an accident, suicide, or homicide," O'Driscoll explained. He described Richins as “very cheery, very open” when he first spoke with her at her home, a characterization that has drawn skepticism. Defense attorney Kathy Nestor questioned the detective's methods, particularly his extended three-hour stay at the house and his failure to inform Richins that their conversation was being recorded. Nestor also challenged why investigators obtained Richins' phone records before meeting with her without notifying her legal counsel. O'Driscoll defended his approach, stating, "In order to be thorough, I was trying to investigate all of those possibilities." Further controversy surrounds how law enforcement seized Richins' phone. During a traffic stop shortly after the initial search of her home, Eric Maynard of the Summit County Sheriff's Office collected her phone. In a recording played in court, Richins could be heard crying, but Maynard testified, "I did not see tears." He also acknowledged an error in his report that mistakenly stated she was in custody at the time of the seizure. The defense argues these inconsistencies raise serious concerns about the credibility of the investigation. Adding to the case's complexity is a letter titled "Walk the dog!!" discovered in Richins' jail cell. Prosecutors claim the letter contains instructions for her mother and brother about how to handle their testimony and financial matters. The prosecution argues the document is an attempt at witness tampering, particularly with its references to a person known as "Lotto," described as an intimate acquaintance of Richins. Deputy Summit County Attorney Brad Bloodworth emphasized the significance of the letter, stating, "This is not trial preparation; it's about controlling testimony and publicity." The defense has countered by suggesting the letter could be covered under attorney-client privilege because it references legal advice, challenging whether it should be allowed in court. Another disputed issue is the search warrants executed against Richins. Less than three weeks after O'Driscoll's initial interview with her, investigators obtained a warrant to search her home for evidence, including copper cups and counterfeit pills. During this search, an orange notebook was seized, though its relevance remains in question. Additionally, when Richins was arrested outside a Salt Lake County business, authorities seized another phone, which her legal team claims may have been improperly handled. Beyond the murder charges, Richins faces additional allegations of mortgage fraud and forgery, which will be addressed in a separate trial. As attorneys on both sides continue filing briefs to challenge or defend the evidence, the judge will make final rulings after an upcoming hearing. With the trial scheduled for April, the battle over what evidence the jury will hear is far from over. As prosecutors push to include key materials linking Richins to financial motives and potential witness manipulation, the defense is fighting to suppress evidence they claim was obtained improperly. The outcome of these legal skirmishes could play a pivotal role in determining whether Kouri Richins is ultimately convicted of her husband's death. #KouriRichins #TrueCrime #EricRichins #MurderTrial #LegalNews #CrimeInvestigation #CourtroomDrama Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The high-profile case of Kouri Richins, charged with murdering her husband, Eric Richins, has entered a critical phase as attorneys contest the admissibility of key evidence ahead of her trial. Eric Richins died in March 2022 from a fentanyl overdose, and investigators took over a year to arrest his wife. The case is attracting attention due to conflicting narratives about the investigation process and the evidence gathered. Detective Jeff O'Driscoll, one of the lead investigators, testified about his early visits to Kouri Richins, emphasizing that she was not initially a primary suspect. "We knew Eric had died of a fentanyl overdose but did not know whether it was an accident, suicide, or homicide," O'Driscoll explained.

Nestor questioned why O'Driscoll stayed in the home for three hours and why Richins was not informed about an audio recording of their conversation. Nestor also raised issues about O'Driscoll obtaining phone records prior to the visit without notifying Richins or her attorney. "In order to be thorough, I was trying to investigate all of those possibilities," O'Driscoll replied, maintaining that his actions were standard procedure. Investigators executed multiple search warrants, but these operations have drawn scrutiny. During a traffic stop shortly after the first search, Eric Maynard of the Summit County Sheriff's Office obtained Richins' phone. A recording played in court revealed Richins crying during their conversation, but Maynard testified, "I did not see tears." He said she voluntarily gave her phone password but later admitted a mistake in his report, which stated she was in custody at the time. Another contentious piece of evidence is a letter titled "Walk the dog!!" discovered in Kouri Richins' jail cell. Prosecutors allege the letter outlines instructions for her mother and brother about testimony and financial issues, claiming it amounts to witness tampering. The letter also mentions a person referred to as "Lotto," described as an intimate acquaintance of Kouri Richins. Prosecutors argue this correspondence could link her to attempts at manipulating witnesses and avoiding suspicion. However, the defense has questioned whether the letter falls under attorney-client privilege due to references to legal advice. Deputy Summit County Attorney Brad Bloodworth defended the inclusion of the letter, asserting, "This is not trial preparation; it's about controlling testimony and publicity." Bloodworth also pointed to its significance in explaining potential motives, including financial pressures on Kouri Richins. The timeline of events leading to Richins' arrest also came under scrutiny. Less than three weeks after O'Driscoll's visit, he secured a warrant to search Richins' home for evidence, including copper cups and counterfeit pills. During the search, an orange notebook was seized, though its relevance is now contested. Additionally, Richins' arrest outside a Salt Lake County business involved another phone seizure, which her defense argues may have been mishandled. Eric Richins' death, initially called in as a medical emergency, has led to Kouri Richins facing charges of aggravated murder and attempted murder, alongside allegations of mortgage fraud and forgery. Her legal team is fighting to suppress evidence they believe was improperly obtained, while prosecutors argue the material is critical to proving her guilt. As the trial approaches, attorneys are tasked with submitting written briefs to address unresolved evidentiary disputes. The judge has indicated that decisions on contested items will follow a future hearing. In addition to the murder charges, Kouri Richins faces separate allegations of financial crimes, including mortgage fraud, which will be addressed in a subsequent trial. The case's complexity and high stakes underscore the challenges of balancing thorough investigation with legal safeguards.

Deputy Summit County Attorney Brad Bloodworth defended the inclusion of the letter, asserting, "This is not trial preparation; it's about controlling testimony and publicity." Bloodworth also pointed to its significance in explaining potential motives, including financial pressures on Kouri Richins. The timeline of events leading to Richins' arrest also came under scrutiny. Less than three weeks after O'Driscoll's visit, he secured a warrant to search Richins' home for evidence, including copper cups and counterfeit pills. During the search, an orange notebook was seized, though its relevance is now contested. Additionally, Richins' arrest outside a Salt Lake County business involved another phone seizure, which her defense argues may have been mishandled. Eric Richins' death, initially called in as a medical emergency, has led to Kouri Richins facing charges of aggravated murder and attempted murder, alongside allegations of mortgage fraud and forgery. Her legal team is fighting to suppress evidence they believe was improperly obtained, while prosecutors argue the material is critical to proving her guilt. As the trial approaches, attorneys are tasked with submitting written briefs to address unresolved evidentiary disputes. The judge has indicated that decisions on contested items will follow a future hearing. In addition to the murder charges, Kouri Richins faces separate allegations of financial crimes, including mortgage fraud, which will be addressed in a subsequent trial. The case's complexity and high stakes underscore the challenges of balancing thorough investigation with legal safeguards. With the trial scheduled for April, it remains to be seen how the evidence battles will shape the jury's understanding of the events surrounding Eric Richins' tragic death. #KouriRichins #EricRichins #FentanylOverdose #TrueCrime #LegalNews #MurderTrial #UtahNews Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Hosts: Adam Gardiner and Greg Skordas  Pres. Biden says the Equal Rights Amendment is ratified  Presidents often do a lot of big last-minute things as they prepare to exit office. But this one is a little different – President Biden says the 1972 Equal Rights Amendment has been ratified. He’s directed the national archivist to certify and publish the amendment as the official 28th Amendment to the US Constitution. What legal authority is he claiming to have over this decision?    SCOTUS says TikTok can be banned on Sunday  A unanimous ruling this morning from the United States Supreme Court, saying that TikTok's arguments of 1st Amendment/Free Speech violations through this ban are not warranted. This means that the ban will go forward and TikTok will go dark on Sunday. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas breaks down the legal parts of the case and co-host Adam Gardiner walks through some of the political ramifications of the impending ban.    On the Hill 2025: Previewing legislation on child abuse and torture amendments  Several pieces of state legislation for the upcoming session look at ways to protect Utah’s children from abuse. One bill being introduced by State Senator Don Ipson would strengthen the punishments for people who commit child abuse and torture. He joins Inside Sources to explain the rationale for the bill and how it will protect children, even if from their own family.    On the Hill 2025: Previewing legislation on child welfare reporting  Sometimes, personal family drama can lead to false reports of child abuse. Those false claims can result in emotional damage and wasted law enforcement and investigation hours. State Representative Christine Watkins is running a bill to address these incidents. She joins Inside Sources to explain that bill and other bills she’s working on regarding child welfare.    On the Hill 2025: Previewing legislation on how counties are created  Right now, Utah’s largest county in terms of population is Salt Lake County.

We take a moment to discuss some of the most vulnerable Senators ahead of the midterm elections.    Reviewing the impact of Senators who just left office  Speaking of Senators, one of those who just retired from the Senate is Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia. He was always seen as a more conservative Democrat, all the way until he left the Party and became an independent in 2024. Inside Sources hosts Rusty Cannon and Adam Gardiner share some thoughts on the bipartisan legacy from Senator Manchin.    Immigration bill passes key procedural vote with bipartisan Congressional support  Many Democrats in the US Senate have joined their Republican colleagues, voting to advance a bill dealing with immigration called the Laken Riley Act.

Utah Woman's Parents Arrested for Allegedly Aiding in Husband's Murder Cover-Up

The parents of a Utah woman accused of murdering her husband after he confronted her about an alleged affair have been arrested for allegedly assisting in cleaning up the crime scene. Thomas Gledhill, 70, and Rosalie Gledhill, 67, were taken into custody on Thursday, October 24, during traffic stops in Salt Lake County, according to a press release from the Cottonwood Heights Police Department. They have been booked on multiple felony counts of obstruction of justice in connection with the September death of Matthew Johnson. Their daughter, Jennifer Gledhill, 38, was arrested last week and charged with first-degree murder and other offenses related to her husband's killing, including obstruction of justice, felony drug possession, witness tampering, and desecration of a human body. Authorities allege that on September 20, Johnson confronted Gledhill about an extramarital affair. The following day, she allegedly shot him while he slept in their home. According to Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill, Gledhill then placed Johnson's body into a rooftop storage container, slid it down the stairs, and loaded it into the back of their minivan. She is accused of driving north, digging a hole, and burying him in a shallow grave. Johnson was reported missing by Gledhill on September 28. However, a man who claimed to have been involved in an affair with her came forward, telling police that Gledhill confessed to killing her husband. He stated that she told him Johnson had "yelled at her" about the affair and that she shot him as he slept, prosecutors said. Investigators allege that Gledhill destroyed Johnson's phone, abandoned his truck in a different part of the neighborhood, and was seen on surveillance footage thoroughly cleaning her own vehicle at a car wash. Police tracked her phone's GPS data to the location where Johnson's truck was found, but his body has not yet been recovered. According to affidavits of probable cause, witnesses reported seeing Thomas and Rosalie cleaning their daughter's home for over five hours on September 24, though Rosalie claimed they were there for about an hour. Both parents denied cleaning the house when questioned by police. Cell phone data allegedly shows that Thomas was the only person Jennifer called on the day she is believed to have buried Johnson's body. A search of the home revealed a bloodstained spot on the carpet beneath the bed in the main bedroom and walls covered in bleach behind the bed. Investigators noted that the mattress was new; prosecutors said Rosalie admitted to purchasing it for her daughter upon request. The original mattress and Johnson's body remain missing. Testing on the bloodstain indicates it came from a single male source, but further DNA analysis is underway to confirm if it matches Johnson, according to prosecutors. Thomas and Rosalie Gledhill were booked into jail and face multiple felony charges of obstruction of justice. It is unclear if they have entered pleas or retained attorneys to speak on their behalf. Gledhill's arrest comes after she was charged with nine felonies, including first-degree murder. She is accused of attempting to tamper with witnesses and desecrate a human body. Johnson's family and friends continue to seek answers. "There are many questions left unanswered, none more than where is [Matthew]?" District Attorney Gill said. Gledhill is currently being held without bail. Her next court appearance is scheduled for later this month. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

For over 30 years they were left wondering what happened to Patti, until 2012, when, with the help of Patti's daughter and DNA testing, Salt Lake County detectives were able to connect her to the remains of a 1978 Jane Doe. Nearly 12 years have passed since that identification, and investigators are still trying to figure out what happened to Patti, and who's responsible for her death.If you know anything about the murder of Patricia “Patti” Barrett in Salt Lake City, Utah in September of 1978, or if you know anyone who may have been in the Salt Lake City Jail who could have crossed paths with Patti during that period of time, we urge you to call Salt Lake County Sheriff's Detective Ben Pender directly at 385-468-9816 or email him at bpender@saltlakecounty.gov. View source material and photos for this episode at: thedeckpodcast.com/patricia-patti-barrett Let us deal you in… follow The Deck on social media.Instagram: @thedeckpodcast | @audiochuckTwitter: @thedeckpodcast_ | @audiochuckFacebook: /TheDeckPodcast | /audiochuckllcTo support Season of Justice and learn more, please visit seasonofjustice.org. The Deck is hosted by Ashley Flowers. Instagram: @ashleyflowersTikTok: @ashleyflowerscrimejunkieTwitter: @Ash_FlowersFacebook: /AshleyFlowers.AF Text Ashley at 317-733-7485 to talk all things true crime, get behind the scenes updates, and more!
