In this Meaningful Money Q&A, Pete Matthew and Roger Weeks answer listener questions on UK personal finance, focusing on pensions, tax, and planning ahead. Topics include SIPP vs Lifetime ISA, retirement drawdown and which accounts to spend from first, Junior SIPPs, gifting company shares (IHT and CGT), and UFPLS vs drawdown.   Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA41    01:47  Question 1 Hello Pete, Roger and team. I'd first like to say thank you for all the wonderful information you provide, it has been a great aid for increasing my financial intelligence and helping me secure my family's financial future. My question is regarding the benefits of a SIPP vs a LISA in terms of retirement. My understanding is they both benefit loosely from the same boost. 25% Boost for LISA and in effect 25% boost to a SIPP due to the 20% tax relief as a basic rate tax payer? They are both locked away for a long period and are both released early if I was to suffer from any serious ill health or death? Due to this is there any benefit I am overlooking in terms of a SIPP over a LISA invested in a world wide fund? Other than age of access? I am currently 36 and due to the increasing demands of public finances it would be logical to assume a possibility of the state pension age being raised above 70 (above 60 if taken early) or becoming restricted to who can collect (means tested) before I am to reach pension age. Whereas I would be able to claim a LISA at 60 regardless with the added benefit of it not being subject to tax? I have a generous company pension of 6% personal and 13.7% company contributions with an additional 1% matched salary sacrifice. I also put in an additional unmatched personal 3% contribution.  As well as a small military pension. so I would not be without a pension at retirement. Due to this is it worth hedging my bets by maxing my LISA contributions rather than a SIPP to cover potential future scenarios? Apologies for the long winded question and I hope it makes sense. Thank you, Adam   08:42  Question 2 Hello Pete and Roger! Thank you for your wonderful podcast, I started listening several years ago and have found your advice incredibly useful. I am here to ask a question about planning a future for a disabled child. My husband and I are in are late 30s and we have a 5 year old daughter who is autistic and has profound learning difficulties. The challenge we have is how to plan for her future care and our future careers with so much unknown.  We both work full time and are currently both basic rate taxpayers (although we are both getting close to that boundary). We receive child benefit and some DLA for our daughter. When our daughter was born we started saving small amounts regularly into a JISA for her, but as her disabilities became clear we switched and started saving money for her within our own S&S ISAs. We still put money into her JISA when she gets gifts from grandparents etc as it seems disingenuous to keep that money under our names. We have an emergency fund, workplace pensions and are saving regularly into S&S ISAs, as well as mortgage that will last until we are about 60.  Is there anything we should be thinking about or trying to plan for our daughter's future. At this stage, it is difficult to determine how much she will understand about money and investing or whether she would have the capability to work or live independently. It may be that she will be under our care for the rest of our lives. It is also possible that one of us may need to reduce working hours or stop working when she turns 18 and needs care after she leaves school. Is there anything you think we should consider or advice on how to navigate the unknown? We are in the process of putting together a will and in the event of something happening to both of us, the care of our daughter would be covered by my husband's sister, but unsure how to navigate the financials. I appreciate that there are several questions within this question but any advice or areas that we can research on ourselves would be appreciated. Thank you so much, Laura Centurion (specialist IFA for people with children with special needs) https://centurioncfp.co.uk/special-needs/  Scope https://www.scope.org.uk/advice-and-support    16:34  Question 3 Hello First of all, thank you both for your wonderful podcast. I have learned so much. I have a question about the order in which to spend in retirement and how to hold our various investments. We have worked out a cashflow ladder using cash, short-term money markets funds, a defensive mixed asset fund, a 60:40 mixed asset fund and a 100% equity fund. But we also need to think about our various wrappers- about half of our investments are in DC pensions (mine and my husband's), a quarter in ISAs and a quarter unwrapped (which we can gradually move into ISAs). Is there a rule of thumb for how much of each investment should be in each wrapper? I'm also not sure about what we should be spending first- assuming no disasters we are hoping to give some money to our children before too long for IHT purposes. But if we take a large sum out of our pensions to do this, we'll pay 45% income tax on it which makes the IHT saving a bit pointless. So should we be making any gifts from our ISAs and using the pensions first ourselves (taking care to stay within the basic rate)? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you Elizabeth Meaningful Academy Retirement Planning - https://meaningfulacademy.com/retirementplanning    For a discount, use coupon code: PODCAST 24:03 Question 4 Hi Roger (and Pete!), Firstly, thank you from the bottom of my heart for the education you provide to me and so many others. You've really helped me sharpen my financial tools. After spending the last 12 years self-employed, I didn't take my personal finances too seriously. Now that I have a steady, "grown-up" job, I've been able to get organised. I have a workplace pension, a private pension, a Stocks & Shares ISA, and a Lifetime ISA, all thanks to what I've learned from you both. My question is about Junior SIPPs. I often come across opinions suggesting that these should be the last thing you do, only after every other financial base is covered. I didn't receive a financial education growing up, and there's no pot of gold or property waiting for me down the inheritance road. That's why I'm motivated to change the course of my children's future — even if the benefit is far down the line. For a relatively modest target amount £15,000 each at age 18 (they are currently 1 and 4), I believe my children could have a very strong footing in later life due to the extensive length of compounding available, even without continuing contributions beyond that point, or perhaps with me matching their own contributions as an incentive in adulthood. I believe this will take some of the pressure off them which I currently find myself in having to aggressively play catch up on my retirement plan. They also have Junior ISAs, which I contribute to each month, to give them more flexible money when they turn 18. Their future stability would mean the world to me, even if I won't be here at that point to see them enjoy it! I'd love to hear your opinion on Junior SIPPs, as I don't think this topic is discussed enough — and it sometimes feels dismissed altogether. Thank you, Steven   29:15  Question 5 Dear Pete and Roger, You do marvellous work in educating us all. Thank you. I am a company director with 9 alphabet shares. 5 for me, 2 for my wife and one each for my adult independent children. I have substantial IHT liability so want to gift my shares to my children. The company has seven figures invested in the stock market. Can I gift the shares? How do I go about? Will that help reduce my IHT liability if I survive 7 years after gifting? Will there be a CGT liability on the gift? The company still trades but is unlikely to qualify for BADR (Business Asset Disposal Relief) as majority of assets are in investments. Thanking you, Narendra   36:35  Question 6 Hi Pete and Rog, Firstly, thanks for all that you do, your podcasts, videos and the Academy have really changed mine and my family's life for the better. A pensions drawdown question: If you plan to use all of your tax free allowance on retirement. Am I right that there are no benefits to using UFPLS over drawdown? I think there used to be a benefit with the lifetime allowance but I can't see any other benefits now. Thanks for all that you do, James

Nutrition coaching can be incredibly helpful, but it has limits. Amanda, Kelsey, and Lauren talk about scope of practice: what nutrition coaches can do, what we can't do, and why those boundaries exist in the first place. The discussion walks through how Black Iron coaches support clients through nutrition education, behavior change, and lifestyle habits, while also recognizing when something falls outside the role of a coach. Topics include the differences between dietitians, nutritionists, and coaches, how state regulations shape what different credentials allow, and why working within those boundaries protects both clients and professionals. The episode also covers the warning signs coaches watch for: medical concerns, signs of disordered eating, psychological red flags, or expectations built around extreme diets and quick fixes. Sometimes these situations simply require collaboration with other professionals. Other times they mean referring someone to a medical provider or therapist who can better support what they're dealing with. Scope of practice is about making sure people get the right support from the right professionals so their health, safety, and long-term progress come first.

This Day in Legal History: The AmistadOn March 9, 1841, the U.S. Supreme Court decided United States v. The Amistad, ruling that a group of Africans who had seized control of the Spanish ship La Amistad were free individuals who had been illegally enslaved. The case began after the captives, led by Sengbe Pieh—often called Cinqué—revolted against the ship's crew while being transported from Cuba in 1839. They had originally been kidnapped in West Africa and sold into slavery in violation of international agreements banning the transatlantic slave trade. After the revolt, the ship was intercepted near Long Island and the Africans were taken into U.S. custody. Spanish officials demanded that the United States return both the ship and the captives to Cuba. The U.S. government supported Spain's request, arguing that the captives were property under Spanish law.Abolitionists rallied to the Africans' defense and secured legal representation for them in American courts. The case eventually reached the Supreme Court, where former President John Quincy Adams joined the legal team arguing for the captives' freedom. Adams delivered a lengthy and passionate argument emphasizing natural rights and the illegality of the slave trade that had brought the Africans to Cuba. Writing for the majority, Justice Joseph Story concluded that the captives had been unlawfully enslaved and were therefore not property. Because they were free individuals, the Court held that they had the legal right to resist their captivity and fight for their liberty. The Court ordered that the Africans be released rather than returned to Spanish authorities.The ruling was celebrated by abolitionists as an important moral and legal victory in the fight against slavery. Although it did not end slavery in the United States, the decision demonstrated that courts could recognize limits on the slave trade and acknowledge the legal claims of enslaved people.Thirteen major U.S. book publishers have filed a copyright lawsuit against Anna's Archive, a website they describe as one of the largest “shadow libraries” distributing pirated books and academic papers. The publishers—including HarperCollins, Wiley, McGraw Hill, and Cengage—filed the complaint in federal court in New York, alleging that the site hosts more than 63 million books and 95 million research papers without authorization. According to the lawsuit, Anna's Archive allows users to download these materials directly or through torrent networks, making copyrighted works widely available for free. The publishers claim the site openly presents itself as a pirate platform and intentionally violates copyright law.The complaint also alleges that Anna's Archive was created in 2022 after copying entire collections from other illegal book repositories and has continued expanding its database. The publishers say the site operates anonymously and frequently changes domain names across different countries to avoid enforcement efforts. They further claim the platform targets artificial intelligence developers by offering large datasets of books and papers. While free users can access files slowly, the complaint states that faster downloads are available to users who make donations through untraceable methods like cryptocurrency or gift cards. The publishers allege that these donations can reach roughly $200,000 for high-speed bulk access. In response, the plaintiffs are asking the court to shut down the site and award statutory damages of up to $150,000 for each infringed work.The lawsuit follows a separate case brought by Atlantic Recording Corp., which earlier obtained a preliminary injunction preventing Anna's Archive from distributing millions of music files allegedly copied from Spotify. That case resulted in a default after the site failed to respond to the complaint. However, the publishers argue that the earlier injunction does not cover books, allowing the alleged book piracy to continue. The Association of American Publishers has publicly supported the lawsuit, describing the scale of digital piracy as extremely large and urging legal action to stop the operation.Publishers Sue ‘Shadow Library' For ‘Staggering' Book Piracy - Law360Companies that operate in California are facing uncertainty as the state moves forward with major climate disclosure laws while a federal appeals court considers whether the rules should be blocked. The laws—California Senate Bills 253 and 261—require large companies doing business in the state to disclose information about greenhouse gas emissions and climate-related financial risks. In late February, the California Air Resources Board approved initial regulations explaining how the reporting system will be administered and how companies will pay implementation fees. At the same time, the Ninth Circuit has temporarily blocked enforcement of S.B. 261 and is reviewing a request from business groups to halt both laws entirely.Because of this parallel regulatory and legal process, many companies are unsure whether they should invest heavily in compliance or wait for the courts to rule. S.B. 253 applies to companies with more than $1 billion in annual revenue and requires reporting of Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions, which include direct emissions, energy-related emissions, and emissions from supply chains. S.B. 261 applies to companies with more than $500 million in revenue and requires disclosure of climate-related financial risks and mitigation strategies. Attorneys say collecting this data could be difficult, especially for companies that only have limited operations in California or that must gather information from suppliers and partners in other regions.The reporting requirements could also affect businesses outside California because companies subject to the law may need emissions data from their partners and vendors. Regulators have begun setting deadlines for initial reporting, including an August deadline for certain emissions data, but many details about how the system will function remain unresolved. Meanwhile, business groups including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce argue the laws violate the First Amendment by forcing companies to speak on controversial issues related to climate change. With rulemaking still underway and litigation ongoing, companies are left trying to prepare for possible compliance while waiting to see whether the courts ultimately uphold or invalidate the laws.Companies In Limbo Over Calif. Climate Disclosure Laws' Fate - Law360In a major California bellwether trial over claims that social media harms children's mental health, the plaintiff has finished presenting her case against Instagram and YouTube. The plaintiff, a 20-year-old referred to as Kaley G.M. to protect her identity, alleges that features on the platforms contributed to anxiety, depression, and body dysmorphia she experienced as a minor. Her attorney, Mark Lanier, chose not to call Kaley's mother to testify live, instead presenting a brief portion of her deposition to the jury. The decision appeared partly influenced by strict time limits imposed by the judge during the trial. In the deposition testimony, the mother acknowledged she had little knowledge of her daughter's social media use and did not monitor her phone because she viewed it similarly to a household landline.Defense attorneys have argued that Kaley's mental health problems were caused by difficulties at home rather than the platforms themselves. Evidence introduced at trial suggested the plaintiff had conflicts with her mother, including allegations of neglect, verbal abuse, and limited supervision of internet use. The defense also pointed to bullying and other personal issues as alternative explanations for the plaintiff's struggles. Meanwhile, a former Meta employee testified that internal company information suggested Instagram could be addictive and harmful to young users, although defense lawyers challenged his credibility and the extent of his involvement with safety issues.The plaintiff's final expert witness discussed ways social media companies could design safer platforms for children. After the plaintiff rested, Meta began presenting its defense with testimony from school administrators connected to the plaintiff. The case is the first bellwether trial among thousands of similar lawsuits consolidated in California, with outcomes potentially shaping settlement negotiations and future trials. TikTok and Snap previously settled with this plaintiff, but the broader litigation against social media companies continues.Meta, Google Begin Defense As Mental Harm Plaintiff Rests - Law360 UKThe U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency told a federal trade court that it expects to create a system within about 45 days to process refunds for tariffs that were previously imposed under President Donald Trump and later ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. The tariffs generated roughly $166 billion in payments from about 330,000 importers, and the Court's decision did not specify how those funds should be returned. As a result, government lawyers and a judge from the U.S. Court of International Trade are working to establish a practical process for issuing refunds.Under the proposed plan, importers would submit a declaration through CBP's electronic system detailing the tariffs they paid. The agency would verify the information and then issue a single payment from the Treasury Department to each importer, including interest. Officials say this approach would avoid forcing businesses to file individual lawsuits to recover their money. The judge overseeing the matter recently modified an earlier order that required immediate refunds, acknowledging that the agency needs time to build a workable system.CBP explained that its current administrative system cannot automatically process refunds on the massive scale required. Importers paid tariffs on more than 53 million shipments, and manually reviewing each transaction could require millions of hours of labor. Several large companies, including affiliates of Nintendo and CVS, have already filed lawsuits seeking repayment, though the government hopes a broader refund system will resolve claims more efficiently.Business groups such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have supported the proposal, saying it could simplify the process for smaller companies. However, officials noted that relatively few importers have registered for the electronic refund system created earlier this year. The court continues to oversee the development of the refund process through a test case that could guide how payments are returned to all affected businesses.US customs agency expects tariff refund system to be ready in 45 days | Reuters This is a public episode.

Are attackers really using AI to run end-to-end cyber campaigns? In this episode, Edward Wu (Founder and CEO, DropzoneAI) joins Ashish to separate the hype from reality when it comes to AI-driven attacks .Edward explains how attackers are currently using open-source LLMs for reconnaissance and spear-phishing , and why the major commercial models now explicitly prohibit users from generating exploits without vetting . On the defense side, Edward shares how AI agents have successfully automated over 160 years' worth of alert investigations in the real world proving that 100% software-delivered SOC triage is already here .We also debunk the myth of AI "hallucinations," explaining why most errors are actually just poor context management . If you're building a security operations center or working with an MSSP, this episode will teach you how to shift from manual alert fatigue to leveraging AI for threat hunting.Guest Socials -⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Edward's Linkedin Podcast Twitter - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@CloudSecPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you want to watch videos of this LIVE STREAMED episode and past episodes - Check out our other Cloud Security Social Channels:-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Podcast- Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you are interested in AI Security, you can check out our sister podcast -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ AI Security Podcast⁠Questions asked:(00:00) Introduction(02:50) Who is Edward Wu?

The Greenhouse Gas Protocol has developed the world's most widely used greenhouse gas accounting standards and guidance since launching in 1998 as a joint initiative of the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD).  In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we unpack how GHG Protocol is now evolving — including updating its Scope 2 guidance and Scope 3 standard, launching a new 'actions and market instruments' standard, and working with other standard-setters to create harmonization — for example, announcing a partnership with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 2025. "Historically, fragmentation in carbon accounting has been a huge problem," says Pankaj Bhatia, GHG Protocol Global Director at WRI and part of GHG Protocol's Secretariat. In the episode, Pankaj explains what's ahead for greenhouse gas accounting and reporting standards and how GHG Protocol is responding to stakeholder feedback from recent public consultations. "Climate change is not a siloed operational issue. It's a systemic issue," Pankaj tells us. "And if the problem is systemic, the accounting system must also be systemic."

Are you struggling with chronic illness or symptoms that just won't go away, and you've gotten to a point where it just feels like maybe no one understands your symptoms or what you're going through?Do your parents, family, or friends subtly or directly implying that don't really think you have anything? That you're overly sensitive and it's go away if you just chose to stop being so sensitive?Are you tired of explaining your symptoms or what day to day life is like to your family or friends - maybe they don't devalidate you like your family, but they have no idea how to respond other that "I'm so sorry you're going through that", and you feel even more alone than before you shared?Or - have you sat in a doctor's office, hoping someone would finally understand — and been met with blank stares and no answers?If you said yes to any of those questions, this episode is for you.Today's episode starts our series exploring the emotional weight of chronic illness. No protocols. No strategies. No fixing.In this series, I'm sharing the things that anchored me on my journey toward wholeness — even in seasons where I felt like (or literally was) making zero progress.The goal is simple: to slow down and talk about the matters of the heart.To sit together for a moment and reflect — with who you are right now, not the future healed version of you — how do you tend your heart? How do you find emotional, internal health?Because you don't have to be physically healthy first to find emotional health.In today's episode, we're diving into:what chronic illness can feel lonely, even when you're surrounded by loving peopletips on what to do with people who are not loving or supportive on your health journeyexamples of 2 people in the Bible who hit a "I can't take it any longer" moment in their life, how they responded, and what lessons we can learn from itpractical steps to take to combat chronic illness loneliness, with or without the support of your immediate friends and familyIf you've been doing everything you know how to do to get healthy and you're still not better, I hope this episode meets you exactly where you are. Not to fix you. But to strengthen something inside you that illness may have been quietly wearing down.P.S. In this episode, I'll be sharing from my own faith background, because that's where many of these lessons were shaped for me. But these conversations are for anyone who's looking for steadiness, hope, and emotional resilience in the middle of a hard season. I hope this blesses you!TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Chronic Illness Isolation 01:10 - Series Purpose and Scope 02:00 - What to Expect Today 03:38 - Why This Series Now 05:55 - Bible Stories for Resilience 06:40 - Science of Loneliness 10:35 - Supportive vs Dismissive People 12:24 - What to Do With Loneliness 13:52 - Elijah Hits the Wall 18:56 - God Meets Elijah Gently 23:34 - You Are Not Alone 25:24 - Modern Parallel and Community 27:48 - When Faith Heroes Hit Walls 28:45 - Moses Reaches Breaking Point 29:24 - The Weight of Millions 31:31 - Kill Me Now Prayer 32:56 - God Shares the Burden 33:51 - Loneliness Takeaways Begin 34:30 - Be Real and Journal It 36:07 - Find Safe People and Counselors 40:31 - Receive the Help Offered 43:44 - Ask Clearly for Support 47:19 - Ask God and Trust Provision 49:59 - Closing and Community InviteEPISODES MENTIONED:Ep. 162// Constipation Remedies Not Working?

Nurse burnout is real, and “just pick up overtime” is not a personality trait. In this episode of Nurse Converse, Jana Price sits down with Jaclyn Passante, Katherine Brennan, and Amanda Ciardiello, the team behind Nurse Connect: a marketplace that helps nurses (and CNAs/HHAs/LPNs/NPs) find flexible, paid care gigs directly with patients. Think Facebook Marketplace meets TaskRabbit, but built for healthcare and packed with safety features like license verification and secure messaging. Currently live in New York and Florida, Nurse Connect lets clinicians set their own rates, choose their own jobs, and keep 100% of what they earn. Nurses calling the shots?

Ryan Ralston, Director of Operations at You Are The Power, joins Brian Nichols to reveal how Child Protective Services financially profits from seizing children — and why government overreach at the local level is happening to innocent families across all 50 states. With a 98-99% success rate, You Are The Power is exposing how CPS misdiagnosis, federal Title IV funding, and unelected juvenile court judges create a system that tears families apart — not to protect children, but to collect federal dollars. From eminent domain abuse targeting family farms to ordinances taxing wheelchair users, this episode breaks down the real mechanics of local government corruption and what you can do about it today. We expose the reality of a foster care system where reunification rates sit at just 15-20% — not because parents are guilty, but because there's no financial incentive to return your child. You need to hear this blueprint for fighting back: how You Are The Power's "people to policy to principle" approach has delivered over 1,000% growth in wins and reunited families that the system tried to destroy. If you believe government is supposed to protect the vulnerable, this episode will change what you think you know.

According to new Amárach research carried out on behalf of the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment more than four in five businesses (85%) say sustainability is important to the day-to-day running of their business and have considered retrofitting . The findings of the second phase of SME Sustainability Research – Wave 2 were announced by the Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment Peter Burke T.D. and are in line with the previous year's findings. The value of retrofitting The survey of 344 SMEs shows that two in five had taken steps such as insulating their buildings or changing their windows in the past two years to improve their energy efficiency. Speaking at the launch, Minister Burke said by doing so these businesses would also be cutting their energy costs and would become more competitive: "It's really encouraging to see businesses reducing their costs by tackling the energy usage in their buildings. There is however another sizeable cohort of businesses (44%) who cite upfront investment costs as a barrier to becoming more sustainable. "That's why I'd ask SMEs to avail of the Local Enterprise Offices' Energy Efficiency Grant (EEG) and the SEAI's Building Energy Upgrade Scheme (BEUS) to buy energy efficient equipment and to retrofit their buildings. I changed the terms and conditions of the energy efficient grant last year so that a 75% grant is now available, up to a maximum of €10,000, which can make a huge difference to energy bills. In 2025, 681 small business were approved for the EEG at estimated value of €5.7 million, while 186 BEUS grants with an estimated value of €3.36 million were approved." Minister Burke announced the research at Wholesome Kitchen, Dominick St, Mullingar which had recently used the Climate Toolkit 4 Business to understand their environmental impact. Businesses can now also use the Toolkit to measure their Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. Minister Burke said by estimating their environmental impact, SMEs can start to tackle it: "Through this research we can see that businesses are also concerned that their staff may not implement sustainability measures. The Toolkit is free so anyone can use it to understand their business's carbon footprint, and it will provide information on where to access the Government's sustainability and energy supports." This year's survey included questions on the potential of the circular economy to Irish businesses. Minister of State for Employment, Small Business & Retail and Circular Economy Alan Dillon T.D. said it's clear that businesses are seeing the enormous value of re-using, recycling and minimising waste: "Not only did more than one in three (35%) respondents say that they already participate in the circular economy, of those that don't, a quarter are interested in doing so. By supporting businesses to reuse resources, reduce waste and keep materials in circulation for longer, they will not only become more sustainable they will cut costs and become more competitive." Key Findings 85% of businesses say sustainability is important to their business on a day-to-day basis, maintaining the high levels recorded in the 2024 research. Businesses said that making a positive difference (35%) and saving money (34%) were the top motivations in becoming sustainable. Just over a quarter of business say that climate change is currently affecting their operations, rising significantly among larger firms and those operating for more than 20 years. Among affected businesses, adverse weather is now the dominant impact, reflecting the growing reality of extreme weather events. Most sustainability action is concentrated in practical, cost-effective areas: waste reduction (49%), energy efficiency (44%), and renewable energy adoption (33%) remain the most common measures adopted by businesses. The main barrier for organisations to act more sustainably remained upfront investment costs (22%), although at a lower rate compared to 2024. This research was under...

Tara breaks down the latest legal victory in the fight against illegal enrollments in federal programs and exposes how billions in taxpayer money may have been misused. Court Victory: A U.S. appeals court overturned a judge blocking the Trump administration from accessing IRS data—crucial for identifying illegally enrolled immigrants. Scope of the Problem: Millions of illegals reportedly received Social Security numbers, Medicaid benefits, drivers' licenses, and in some cases, voted—all in violation of federal law. Frontline Action: Trump is taking on food stamp and Medicaid fraud, with Republican states actively purging ineligible recipients. Meanwhile, Democrats allegedly block access to vital data. The Stakes: These wins could reshape budget priorities, enforce accountability, and finally put taxpayer dollars back under scrutiny.

In a recent episode of the award-winning Consumer Finance Monitor podcast, Alan Kaplinsky was joined by Nick Bourke, Kate Griffin, and Ballard Spahr partner Joseph Schuster to discuss a groundbreaking new report from the Aspen Institute Financial Security Program: United We Stand: A National Strategy to Prevent Scams. The episode builds on Nick and Kate's prior appearance on the podcast last July, when the report was still in development. Now finalized, the report offers one of the most comprehensive frameworks to date for addressing what has become a systemic threat to American households and the broader financial system. The Scope of the Problem: A Systemic Threat Frauds and scams are no longer isolated consumer protection issues. According to the report, U.S. households are losing an estimated $196 billion annually to scams — roughly $1 billion every couple of days. One in five American adults reports having lost money to an online scam. As Nick Bourke explained, today's scams are: ·                 Technology-enabled ·                 Highly organized and industrialized ·                 Often operated by transnational criminal organizations ·                 Accelerating due to AI and faster payment systems The so-called scam "lifecycle" includes four stages: 1.     Lead – Hooking the victim 2.     Deceive – Building trust (often through impersonation or relationship-building) 3.     Bleed – Extracting funds 4.     Clean – Laundering proceeds, often through cryptocurrency or offshore channels Different sectors see only fragments of this lifecycle; social media platforms may see the "lead," financial institutions the "bleed," and law enforcement the "clean." That fragmentation allows criminals to scale operations while defenders remain siloed. Why Scams Are Rising Despite Heavy Investment As Kate Griffin noted, industry and government are investing heavily in prevention. Yet scams continue to grow. Why? ·                 Fragmentation across sectors: No single actor sees the entire attack sequence. ·                 Outdated reporting infrastructure: Federal systems at agencies like the FBI and FTC remain manual and technologically antiquated. ·                 Regulatory uncertainty: Financial institutions and technology platforms face unclear expectations about what data they can use and share. ·                 Speed of modern payments: Faster money movement means faster losses. Joseph Schuster emphasized that many financial institutions are strongly incentivized to prevent fraud as they often bear reputational and financial risk when scams succeed. But legal ambiguity, especially under statutes like the Fair Credit Reporting Act, can chill data-sharing and innovation. Core Recommendations from the Aspen Report The report outlines both high-level national reforms and granular operational improvements with more than 180 specific ideas. 1. Elevate Scam Prevention to a National Priority The report calls for: ·                 A designated federal lead (or "czar") to coordinate strategy ·                 A whole-of-government approach ·                 Clear national goals and metrics Without centralized leadership, enforcement and regulatory actions remain fragmented.  2. Modernize Law Enforcement Reporting Systems Federal reporting portals, including Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), the FBI's complaint systems, and the FTC's databases, require modernization. The report recommends: ·                 Streamlined, automated reporting ·                 Backend data interoperability across agencies ·                 Advanced analytics and AI tools for enforcement 3. Establish Clear Duties to Act Paired with Safe Harbors One of the most important themes discussed was the need for: ·                 Clear expectations for banks, telecom companies, and digital platforms ·                 Safe harbors that protect companies when sharing scam intelligence in good faith Countries like Australia have already codified such frameworks. The U.S. has yet to establish similarly coordinated standards. 4. Build a Cross-Sector Information-Sharing Ecosystem Effective scam prevention requires: ·                 Exchange of scam indicators (malicious URLs, compromised phone numbers, device patterns) ·                 Interoperable information-sharing platforms ·                 Privacy-preserving architecture ·                 Legal clarity to mitigate antitrust and consumer reporting concerns Joseph noted that industry appetite for collaboration is strong but clarity and guardrails are essential. 5. Consider a U.S. National Anti-Scam Center The report explores the idea of a centralized "front door", potentially something like stopscams.gov, that would: ·                 Serve as a national reporting hub ·                 Provide victim resources ·                 Facilitate coordination among law enforcement ·                 Support public education campaigns Social Media and Platform Responsibility The discussion also addressed the evolving role of digital platforms. Scam activity frequently originates through: ·                 Paid advertisements ·                 Dating applications ·                 Direct messaging ·                 Fake investment websites Compared to banks, social media companies operate within a less clearly defined regulatory structure. Courts are increasingly developing theories of "platform liability," but statutory clarity is lacking. The report urges policymakers to define reasonable expectations for platforms — paired with safe harbors and practical tools that empower prevention rather than merely assign blame. What Happens Next? The key question: who implements this strategy? Kate Griffin emphasized that this is a whole-of-society problem requiring coordinated action by: ·                 Federal leadership ·                 Congress ·                 Financial institutions ·                 Telecom and digital platforms ·                 Law enforcement ·                 Civil society There have been encouraging developments, including: ·                 Treasury and State Department sanctions targeting transnational scam networks ·                 A joint DOJ–FBI–Secret Service initiative targeting Southeast Asian scam operations o   But much more remains to be done. Nick Bourke suggested that, one year from now, real success would include: ·                 A designated federal anti-scam lead ·                 A congressional commission ·                 Measurable national prevention goals ·                 Corporate adoption of formalized anti-scam strategies Joseph Schuster added that industry innovation is ongoing, particularly in artificial intelligence, biometrics, and authentication, but warned that fragmented state-level regulation could complicate progress. Key Takeaways Alan Kaplinsky closed the episode with several important observations: ·                 Fraud and scams are now a systemic threat, not a niche compliance issue. ·                 Prevention, not just reimbursement, must be the organizing principle. ·                 Coordination matters as much as authority. ·                 Good-faith companies need regulatory clarity, not just enforcement pressure. ·                 Reducing scams strengthens trust in the U.S. financial system and digital economy. The Aspen report reframes the debate. Rather than assigning blame, it calls for aligned incentives, shared responsibility, and coordinated national action. If the title of the report, United We Stand, becomes reality, the United States may finally begin to bend the curve on one of the most costly and fast-growing threats facing consumers today.

The PMP exam is evolving again.Starting July 2026, PMI is rolling out updates that reflect where project management is actually headed — hybrid delivery models, AI integration, data-driven decision-making, and stronger business alignment.If you're thinking about getting certified, already studying, or training others, this is not the time to drift.This is the time to get it sorted.What's Likely Changing?While PMI doesn't overhaul everything overnight, updates typically reflect:Greater emphasis on hybrid and adaptive deliveryMore real-world business acumen and strategic thinkingStronger focus on leadership influence over technical memorizationDeeper integration of technology, automation, and AI-enabled workflowsScenario-heavy questions that test judgment under pressureTranslation: less textbook recall, more applied thinking.What This Means for YouIf you plan to take the PMP before July 2026:You still have a window to prepare under the current structure.Your study materials remain valid.Momentum matters — don't stall.If you're taking it after July 2026:Expect refined domains.Expect updated examples.Expect more real-world nuance.Expect decision-making depth over process trivia.The fundamentals won't disappear — Integration, Scope, Schedule, Cost, Risk, Stakeholders — those pillars stay.But how they are tested will continue shifting toward leadership and business impact.The Bigger PictureThe PMP is not becoming easier.It's becoming more relevant.PMI is aligning the credential with how projects are actually delivered in 2026:Distributed teamsCloud infrastructureAI-supported planningContinuous delivery environmentsBusiness-first accountabilityThat means you can't just memorize outputs.You must understand flow.You must understand intent.You must understand why.What You Should Do NowDecide your timeline.Commit to a structured study plan.Focus on logic and sequencing — not rote memorization.Practice scenario-based questions.Build judgment, not just recall.If you've been “thinking about” PMP… stop thinking.Act.July 2026 is not far away.Get it sorted.

Most churches don't lose volunteers to a dramatic exit — they lose them to a slow fade. In this episode, Scott Ball breaks down the three warning signs of volunteer burnout that leaders often miss until it's too late, and then shares three practical systems you can build right now to prevent burnout before it derails your ministry. Scott Ball is a church consultant with The Malphurs Group and co-host of the Church Revitalization Podcast. Each week, Scott and A.J. Mathieu tackle practical, actionable topics to help churches thrive. In this episode: [00:04:11] Why volunteer burnout is a barrier to recruiting new volunteers [00:04:56] Warning Sign #1 — The volunteer who's gone quiet [00:07:23] Warning Sign #2 — Scope creep without conversation [00:12:45] Warning Sign #3 — Withdrawing from community, not just ministry [00:17:31] Three systems to prevent burnout: role clarity, coaching cadence, and built-in off-ramps Resources & Links:

Producing a video for one of the most historic clubs in the country is one thing. Producing one that actually does it justice is another. In this episode, Ed sits down with StoryTeller's Creative Director Steve Mulholland to revisit the brand anthem video they produced for The Olympic Club in San Francisco. Three days of filming. Two very different locations. A club with more than a century of history. And a bar that was, by everyone's admission, set pretty high. Steve walks through how the project came together, from the planning decisions that shaped the shoot to the choices that made the final piece memorable. They talk about why messaging comes before cameras, what smart interview subject selection actually looks like, and how the first 15 seconds of a video can either earn a viewer's attention or lose it.

EPISODE 245.  Key Takeaways: What due diligence is: The buyer's inspection/audit of the seller's business to confirm the story, financials, contracts, and assumptions made pre-LOI. The emotional shift for sellers: Post-LOI can feel like “we're done,” but diligence is often the most challenging phase and can be exhausting and distracting. Why buyers do it: Risk mitigation and validation, plus identifying upside (synergies, growth investment opportunities, consolidation savings). Common seller mistake: Underestimating diligence and showing up unprepared, both emotionally and operationally. Role of an M&A advisor: First point of contact, ensuring data is clean/defensible, fast response cadence, and pushing back where appropriate. “Scope creep” reality: Multiple outside parties (QoE, tax, legal, integration) often ask overlapping questions, creating a “Groundhog Day” effect without strong process management. Top diligence areas buyers focus on: Revenue quality, customer concentration, contracts/renewals, security posture, key person risk, and scalable delivery model. Retrade risk signals: Business performance softening during diligence, messy financials, messy contracts, or major unexpected changes in the business. Keep momentum (they cite ~90 days as a good diligence window) and don't let diligence distract leadership so much that performance slips.

What if the estimates we fight so hard to defend are actually the very thing slowing us down? In this episode, Felipe sits down with Vasco Duarte --- Agile coach, author of #NoEstimates, and host of the Scrum Master Toolbox podcast --- for a candid conversation about why traditional estimation may be creating more illusion than clarity... and what to do instead. Vasco brings serious field credibility. He led initiatives at Nokia involving 500 people, 100 teams, across four continents. And he saw projects fail not because the work was impossible --- but because leaders trusted the plan more than the evidence unfolding in real time. This conversation hits home for construction and project management professionals who operate under pressure, contracts, and commitments. Key Takeaways -

Why Negotiating Feels Risky What Successful Negotiators Do Differently Negotiation skills for women leaders shape far more than pay. They influence power, energy, and long-term career alignment. Negotiation is happening every day. Not just in compensation conversations, but in expectations, workload, influence, and career trajectory. Yet for many leaders, especially women, advocating for themselves still feels uncomfortable… even risky. In this episode of Impact With Ease, Blake is joined by executive coach and nationally recognized women's leadership expert Kathryn Valentine to unpack why negotiation feels so charged, what leaders are unintentionally leaving on the table, and how to approach advocacy in a way that builds influence instead of backlash. You'll hear why traditional negotiation advice — much of it built around male behavioral norms — can actually disadvantage women when applied directly. Kathryn introduces a relational negotiation framework that centers shared impact, collaboration, and strategic positioning rather than confrontation.   Episode Highlights Why Negotiating Still Feels Risky [08:14] – Women face higher backlash risk when negotiating for themselves [10:32] – Why fear around negotiation is justified (and solvable) [12:48] – The reputational concerns that silence capable leaders The Advice Gap Women Face [18:21] – Why most negotiation frameworks were built for men [20:05] – How traditional tactics can unintentionally create resistance [22:17] – The hidden cost of using the wrong tools Negotiation Beyond Salary [26:30] – The dozens of micro-negotiations leaders engage in daily [28:12] – Scope, deadlines, resources, and expectations are all negotiable [30:05] – How unconscious "yes" decisions compound into burnout The Relational Negotiation Framework [33:42] – Past performance + future vision as anchors [35:18] – Shifting from adversarial to collaborative framing [37:44] – Using "What do you think?" to create partnership instead of pushback The AI Bias Leaders Aren't Talking About  [41:14] – Research showing AI may recommend women ask for 21% less than men [43:10] – Why salary benchmarking shortcuts can reinforce inequity [45:02] – Where AI helps — and where human strategy is still essential   Powerful Quotes "A lot of women carry fear about negotiation, and that fear is justified. We are at a higher risk of backlash when negotiating on behalf of ourselves than men are. The exciting part is there's also a solution to that." – Kathryn Valentine "A yes to anything is a no to something. The question is: what are you saying no to — and is that a trade-off you're willing to make?" – Kathryn Valentine "We are negotiating every single day. And those micro-negotiations can change the course of your career." – Kathryn Valentine "Change happens in small day-to-day actions that create a powerful domino effect." – Blake Schofield   Resources Mentioned   Connect with Kathryn Valentine: Link to our FREE 76 things resource! https://worthmorestrategies.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/kval/   Drained at the end of the day & want more presence in your life?

Send me a messageAI's energy demand isn't a future problem. It's straining grids today. And most companies aren't ready.In this episode, I'm joined by Beatrice Clark, Vice President of Sustainability and Social Impact at Turtle and Hughes, a North American electrical distributor and systems integrator working at the sharp edge of the energy transition. We unpack what surging AI and data centre growth means for infrastructure, resilience, and real-world decarbonisation - not in theory, but on the ground.You'll hear why energy demand from AI is now “on the tip of everybody's tongue”, and how utilities and independent producers are scrambling to keep up. We dig into the tension between diesel reliability and microgrid ambition, and why hybrid redundancy may be the uncomfortable truth of the transition. You might be surprised to learn how fleet electrification looks when you're moving heavy loads across unpredictable routes. It's not ideology. It's maths, logistics, and physics.We also explore double materiality, Scope 3 collaboration, and why sustainability only works when it strengthens operational performance. Net zero isn't achieved in PowerPoint. It's delivered through infrastructure, policy, and accountability across the value chain.If you care about climate tech, grid transformation, emissions reduction, and what decarbonisation actually looks like inside energy-intensive businesses, this conversation cuts through the noise.Listen now to hear how Beatrice Clark and Turtle and Hughes are navigating the hard realities of the energy transition.Podcast subscribersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's amazing subscribers: Anita Krajnc Cecilia Skarupa Ben Gross Jerry Sweeney Andreas Werner Stephen Carroll Roger Arnold And remember you too can Subscribe to the Podcast - it is really easy and hugely important as it will enable me to continue to create more excellent Climate Confident episodes like this one, as well as give you access to the entire back catalog of Climate Confident episodes.ContactIf you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - get in touch via direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.

As climate-related disruptions and regulatory pressures intensify, corporate sustainability is a core strategic necessity for all operations of global firms. In this episode, we discuss how companies are navigating the complex transition toward decarbonization while upholding efficiency and affordability. Joining the discussion are Dr. Sreedevi Rajagopalan and Tori Arnold from the MIT Sustainable Supply Chain Lab, alongside Rachel Schwalbach, Vice President of ESG at C.H. Robinson, and Brittany Brama, Sustainability Director at C.H. Robinson. From the complexities of Scope 3 data collection to the practical implementation of alternative fuels and "book and claim" models, they examine how their collaboration between academia and industry is turning sustainability research into measurable impact.

Collecting sustainability data is expected, but using it to drive real business change is where transformation begins.In this episode, host Erika Schiller talks with Jeffrey Whitford, Vice President of Sustainability and Social Business Innovation at MilliporeSigma, a global life science company serving research, biotech, and pharmaceutical industries. Together, they discuss how the company shifted from sustainability reporting to a structured business strategy that influences innovation, investment, and value chain engagement.Jeffrey breaks down the practical actions behind that shift, including:Using emissions data to prioritize action across Scope 1, 2, and especially Scope 3Integrating Design for Sustainability into formal R&D processesAligning capital investments with energy efficiency and decarbonization goalsProviding practical toolkits to help suppliers address value chain emissionsDon't miss an episode—subscribe to ESG Decoded on your favorite podcast platform and follow us on social for the latest updates!Episode Resources: MilliporeSigma's homepage: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/US/enMilliporeSigma's Sustainability & Social Business Innovation webpage: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/US/en/life-science/ssbiMilliporeSigma's Supplier Sustainability Toolkits: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/US/en/life-science/ssbi/sustainability-toolkits?srsltid=AfmBOopES57eWvfH0PkrPvc7FDDixQp4PVKk7y6TDk3b1TXGE98ealRWGreenhouse Gas Protocol (Scope 1,2, and 3): https://ghgprotocol.org/standards -About ESG Decoded ESG Decoded is a podcast powered by ClimeCo to share updates related to business innovation and sustainability in a clear and actionable manner.

Today's guest is the founder of Scooter's Hunt Camp  Scott was raised in the small town of Emmett, Id. Scott loves all sports and spent 6 years chasing dreams by playing college baseball.  After that didn't pan out baseball he came back to Emmett working several different jobs trying to find my place.  In 2006 the opportunity was presented to buy an Insurance Agency here in town.  He now owns this agency, and this was a GOD thing as the freedom of being his own boss has given him much time with his sons.  In 2007 Scott was introduced to Kami, a year later they were married.  In 2010 & 2013 they welcomed 2 amazing sons into their tribe.  I joke tribe as we are all registered in the Cherokee Nation.  In 2021 Scott lost Kami to Breast Cancer.  She was an angel here on earth, but God needed her with him.  In 2000 Scott was given the vision to give back to kids through hunting.  He was given a gift as a successful hunter.  In fact, in 2001 he was named the Idaho State Bowhunters bowhunter of the year. Scott founded and now directs the Scooter's Youth Hunting Camp in Emmett. Over the 26 years of being a part of this ministry and mission field for kids.  Scott is most proud of witnessing about his Savior and best friend "JESUS".  Over 26 years Scott has had the honor of sharing God's goodness and putting a Shotgun, Bow, Muzzleloader and .22 rifle into the hands of over 6,000 kids.  All for FREE and all through donations.  It has been a labor of love for Scott.  He works for the kids 24/7/365 as a volunteer.  SYHC is 100% volunteer with no paid staff.  The volunteers who show up for the camp are amazing and all get an Orange SYHC shirt.  The volunteer crew has been coined the "ORANGE ARMY" with the past couple of years being 120+ strong.  There is a joke around the area that Scooter has 4,000 nieces and nephews because of the interactions from this camp.  In 2015 Scott added to the SYHC by creating "Hunting Dreams".  This subchapter of the camp does 2 hunting trips a year for children who have suffered a life-threatening illness.  One Bear hunt each spring and an Elk hunt each fall with everything donated to fully outfit the hunters.  New Rifle, Binos, Scope, Rangefinder, Boots, clothes etc. etc. Then a whole week in God's country hunting and eating "Their" favorite menu.  The crew processes the meat and a taxidermist does a bear rug and elk shoulder mount for a forever memory.  Scott loves GOD, loves kids and loves being a servant. www.taurususa.com www.cva.com www.himtnjerky.com www.nukemhunting.com www.christianoutdoors.org www.citrusafe.com www.elimishieldhunt.com www.mossyoak.com

This conversation focuses on sides of Ben's story you don't often hear. Ben reflects on the people who shaped him, including Nas, Andy Grove, and his father, and shares why he chose to personally fund new technology for the Las Vegas Police Department. We also talk about how he thinks about a16z's responsibility in shaping the trajectory of America, the scale of his ambition for the firm, and what he sees as the biggest risk facing the country. Please enjoy this great and unique conversation with Ben Horowitz.
