What does it actually mean to do the work? In this solo episode, Sabrina breaks down how therapy talk gets weaponized to dodge accountability, and what real healing looks like when you stop intellectualizing and start implementing. She digs into sitting in discomfort, regulating your nervous system, the difference between ruminating and processing, why journaling rewires your brain, and how inner child work changes the way you show up in dating and relationships. She also answers a listener question about telling a healthy, secure partner you're not ready, unpacks anxious and avoidant attachment, and shares why detaching from the outcome is the number one lesson of doing the work. If you're tired of surface level advice and ready for the real, unsexy practice of becoming secure in yourself and your relationships, this one is for you, babes.

In May 2001, college intern Chandra Levy was preparing to return to her home in Northern California after living in DC for half a year. However, after her parents didn't hear from her for several days, they reported her missing to the Metropolitan Police. When the police entered Chandra's apartment, they found notes from the building's management scattered across the floor and a voicemail full of messages. While most of the messages were from her parents, two were from Congressman Gary Condit, asking when he could see her again. Those messages were placed on May 1st, the last day Chandra was seen alive. What followed was over two decades of political scandal, false confessions, and loose threads that led nowhere. All of this, and the question still remains: what happened to Chandra Levy?ButcherBox: Premium proteins the best way at https://butcherbox.com/milehigher for $20 OFF your first box and ground beef, chicken thighs OR top sirloin for a year!SmileSet: Dental beauty without the hassle  https://smileset.com/milehigher when using our special offer, get your new aligner treatment for under $1300!!Zbiotics: Night's out without the bad mornings https://zbiotics.com  use code MILEHIGHER for 15% OFF your first order!Dose: Boost your live health with https://www.dosedaily.co/milehigher and get 35% OFF your first subscription!Mint Mobile: Ditch the big wireless companies when you use https://mintmobile.com/milehigher and get a plan as low as $15 a month!Intro 0:00An Early Life Full of Love 3:03The Affair 9:49Mysterious Updates 21:20When it Happened 24:41Searching for Chandra 30:05Evidence Begins to Single out Gary Condit 41:32Finding Chandra 1:04:39Eerie Similarities 1:11:02Enter Ingmar 1:13:43Yet Another Twist... 1:30:00Back to Square One 1:37:02Final Thoughts & Outro 1:46:16Mile Higher Media website: https://milehigher.com/ Higher Hope Foundation: https://www.higherhope.org/ Mile Higher Merch: http://milehighermerch.comCheck out our other podcasts!The Sesh https://bit.ly/3Mtoz4XLights Out https://bit.ly/3n3GaoePlanet Sleep https://linktr.ee/planetsleepJoin our official FB group! https://bit.ly/3kQbAxgMHP YouTube: http://bit.ly/2qaDWGfAre You Subscribed On Apple Podcast & Spotify?!Support MHP by leaving a rating or review on Apple Podcast :) https://apple.co/2H4kh58MHP Topic Request Form: https://forms.gle/gUeTEzL9QEh4Hqz88You can follow us on all the things: @milehigherpodInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/milehigherpodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MileHigherHosts:Kendall: @kendallraeonytIG: http://instagram.com/kendallraeonytYT: https://www.youtube.com/c/kendallsplaceJosh: @milehigherjoshIG: http://www.instagram.com/milehigherjoshProducers:Janelle: @janelle_fields_IG: https://www.instagram.com/janelle_fields_/Ian: @ifarmeIG: https://www.instagram.com/ifarme/Tom: @cinematomgrapherIG: https://www.instagram.com/cinematomgrapher/Podcast sponsor inquiries: adops@audioboom.com✉ Send Us Mail ✉Kendall Rae & Josh Thomas 8547 E Arapahoe Rd Ste J # 233Greenwood Village, CO 80112Music By: Mile Higher BoysYT: https://bit.ly/2Q7N5QOSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0F4ik...Sources: https://pastebin.com/KXFys81J

Old self-custody approaches collapse once Bitcoin reaches six figures, physical threats rise, and AI tools proliferate. Single hardware wallets and mattress myths no longer match the scale or risks that large holders now face.Michael Tanguma, CEO and co-founder of Onramp, returns to examine how custody must adapt to family obligations, mortality, and market structure that turns concentrated holdings into targets.The discussion covers why repeated exchange failures keep Bitcoin looking speculative to outsiders, how multi-institution setups reduce scam ROI, and the limits of adding more dice or vendors in an AI era. It also addresses custody pricing models and the practical question of whether any current setup survives a tenfold price increase.Game theory now requires diversified institutional layers rather than pure self-reliance for serious stacks.Timestamp:03:43 — Bitcoin Custody Won't Work Like 201205:49 — Self-Custody Rules Changed With Your Life07:19 — Why Bitcoiners Must Stop the Mattress Myth09:01 — Bitcoin's Asset Layer Makes It Unstoppable11:22 — Private Keys Are Like Firearms15:40 — Custody Losses Keep Bitcoin Speculative18:56 — AI Just Changed Self-Custody Forever21:41 — Why Bitcoin Robberies Are Skyrocketing25:41 — Multi-Institution Custody Kills Pig Butchering27:57 — Bitcoin at $650K: Security Nightmare?29:30 — Game Theory Demands Multi-Custody Bitcoin32:03 — Centralized Custody: The Honeypot Risk37:56 — Why Custody Fees Should Be Zero39:51 — Full Bitcoin Custody for $100/Month42:51 — Would Your Setup Survive 10x Bitcoin?Links:https://x.com/mtangumahttps://x.com/OnrampBitcoinStephan Livera links:Follow me on X: @stephanliveraSubscribe to the podcastSubscribe to Substack#Bitcoin #SelfCustody #Custody #OnrampBitcoin #StephanLivera #StephanLiveraPodcast #BitcoinSecurity #MultiSig

Why do independent bottlers matter, and how do they let you taste whiskey that never makes it into a distillery's core range? In Episode 3 of Whiskey Lens, Jake Lewellen sits down with Sam Filmus, founder of Impex Beverage, to unpack the world of single casks and curated collections — and how Scotch whiskey makes its way onto American shelves.Sam walks through his path into the business, starting with an ethnic import company in California before pivoting into mainstream whiskey, and explains why independent bottling was such a hard sell in the early 2000s, when buyers expected a Macallan label to look like, well, a Macallan label. He and Jake dig into how the category has exploded since then — with Impex, Lost Lantern, and Single Cask Nation all building loyal followings — and how Impex curates each annual edition around its own theme, from single malts across Scotland's regions to grain whisky and blended malt.The conversation gets hands-on with two Impex selections: an 11-year Teaninich, a clean, Speyside-leaning Highland malt with a surprising backstory involving a distillery founder known as the "Blind Captain," and a 14-year cask-strength Ardmore, which becomes the jumping-off point for a real conversation about peat — Highland peat versus the more medicinal, maritime style associated with Islay. Sam also shares the story behind his favorite Impex bottling to date: a 25-year-old Springbank finished in a sherry cask under the guidance of Exclusive Malts' David Stirk.If you've ever wondered what "single cask" really means, why independent bottlers are reshaping how whiskey drinkers discover new distilleries, or how peated Scotch can be far more approachable than its reputation suggests, this episode is for you.Chapters:00:00 – Why Independent Bottlers Matter01:36 – Sam Filmus's Journey Into Whiskey03:23 – The Rise of Independent Bottling in the U.S.06:31 – Curating Impex: The Springbank 25 and Building Each Edition16:22 – Tasting Teaninich: Clean Distillate and the "Blind Captain" Story23:24 – Tasting Ardmore: Cask Strength and Highland Peat32:24 – Scotch's Wide Spectrum, and How to Buy Impex BottlingsSubscribe

"One Night Only" promises two things: 1. Single people can only have sex one night out of the year and 2. It won't make any god damn sense. The Boys are here to break down the new movie starring Callum Turner and Monica Barbaro, which manages to provide as many questions as it does answers. Somehow, a dissection of psoriasis, Pete Davidson and pizza awaits! Pop, pop!

A positive attitude can go a long way, and that is particularly true when it comes to dating.We all have stories to tell of bad dates, being let down by men we had high hopes for, and wading through bad profiles on the dating apps.But getting downbeat about it all isn't going to help you find love. And a harsh truth is, being around cynical people can rub off on us.Matchmaker Gina Hendrix knows this all too well and how it can lead some women to “go into the cave”. It may seem attractive in the short-term, but once you're in, it's hard to get out.In this episode of Secrets They'll Only Tell a Matchmaker, she flips the script by imagining a hopeful man surrounded by bitter friends telling him women can't be trusted, and makes the case that surrounding yourself with people who've given up on love is one of the fastest ways to sabotage your own dating life.In this lively Q&Q, we hear from a woman who wants to know if buying a boat will make her seem less feminine, how tweaking the hobbies listed on your profile can completely change the caliber of matches the algorithm sends you, and we learn why pre-qualifying is an ongoing process.The conversation turns to a pilot who won't commit, how a snapback led to an increase in effort from one potential suitor, and why sometimes friendship is better than a relationship.The big takeaway from this episode of Secrets They'll Only Tell a Matchmaker with Gina Hendrix: protect your circle, because the wrong table will quietly drag you down before you even notice it's happening - learn the lesson of the “crab mentality”!CHAPTERS:(00:00) Introduction (03:41) Feminine Energy (07:11) Pre-Qualifying Marriage-Minded Men(10:39) Progress Without Chasing(19:47) Red Flags(22:30) Friendship Or Romance(29:19) Crab Bucket Friends

AI news this week: Mark Zuckerberg says superintelligence is coming and Meta wants to build it for everyone. Meanwhile, a new Annenberg survey shows opposition to AI data centers jumped 12 percent in just four months. So... do people even want this? On today's AI For Humans, Kevin Pereira and Gavin Purcell dig into the widening gap between the people building AI and the people living next to it. Anthropic makes real progress on the Riemann Hypothesis, one of the hardest math problems in the world, apparently because Claude was told "good job champ, keep going." And OpenAI's little agents broke out of their sandbox, with one hacking its way into a gym. It's a weird time for AI. Also: Anthropic leans into health & biology research, Claude starts watermarking AI generated content, Apple eyes Chinese memory chips amid the supply crunch, and OpenAI delays Astra for "cybersecurity" reasons. Plus: Seedance 2.5 makes Gavin the face of Prada, a two minute mini-movie made entirely on local hardware with MiniMax H3, Suno cuts a deal with the music industry, Spotify says AI personas won't get recommended, and a fresh Slop-Trough with Cursed Slop, The Archive Inbetween & Mario 64: War on Terror.

What happens when your phone becomes the first place you turn whenever life feels uncomfortable? In this episode, Andrew sits down with Seiji to talk about how technology is shaping the next generation, especially the way young people experience relationships, emotions, discomfort, and themselves. They explore what happens when teens use their phones to escape awkwardness, boredom, anxiety, or difficult emotions instead of learning how to sit with those feelings and work through them. They also talk about how parents model technology habits, how social media can make real-life relationships feel more intimidating, and why young people need guidance as they navigate a world designed to capture their attention. The conversation also touches on the increasingly easy access to sexual and suggestive content online, the impact of algorithms on developing minds, and why parents can't simply assume their kids will figure all of this out on their own. But this isn't a conversation about throwing away your phone. It's about learning how to use technology as a tool instead of letting it become a place to hide. Because there is a whole world waiting outside the screen: relationships, creativity, nature, conversation, purpose, and the simple experience of being present. What you'll hear in this episode: Why young people are increasingly turning to phones when they're uncomfortable How avoiding uncomfortable emotions can stunt emotional development The way parents' phone habits can influence their children How social media can affect real-life relationships Why technology can become an escape from reality How algorithms can expose young people to sexual and suggestive content Why teens need guidance and support as they navigate technology How to create healthier boundaries around phones and social media Why putting the phone down can help you reconnect with real life The importance of choosing human connection over constant stimulation Phones aren't evil. But they shouldn't become the place where we go to avoid being human. Sometimes the best thing we can do is put the phone down, look up, and see what's actually happening around us.

Episode 291 of the Handsome Homebuyer Podcast. When Raquel Latona started out at 20 years old, nobody took her seriously. So she stopped waiting for permission and invested in the one thing she could control: herself. This episode is the story of how that bet paid off, and how she built Casanova Property Group into the business it is today.Raquel sits down with Charles to talk about the early years nobody warns you about, the doubt that comes with being underestimated, and the decision to keep betting on herself when the easier move was to quit. It's an honest conversation about grit, self belief, and what it actually takes to build something from nothing in this industry.

Retiring as a Single Lesbian in Setúbal, Portugal: Finding Community Beyond LisbonGuest: Jules de Mello | Host: Mark GoldsteinWhen Jules de Mello retired after a 27-year career as a federal criminal investigator, she went looking for a sunny, walkable place near the water where she could build a full life on her own terms. Lisbon was the plan, until the rents priced her out. Then she discovered Setúbal, a working port city on the cusp of its own renaissance, and never looked back.In this conversation, Jules opens up about what it really takes to retire as a single lesbian abroad: finding her people, and often building community from scratch, navigating a country that is warmly accepting but culturally reserved, and weighing the honest trade-offs of starting over solo in a place where you do not yet speak the language. It is a warm, practical, and refreshingly candid look at one of Portugal's most underrated cities.Meet JulesJules spent 27 years as a federal criminal investigator across several U.S. agencies before retiring in 2022. With Azorean roots on her great-grandfather's side, Portugal had always called to her. She first scouted the country in 2018, arrived permanently in Setúbal in April 2023, and soon became a self-described "connector," co-founding the Setúbal Pride meetup to bring locals, women, trans, and non-binary folks together in a community that had mostly orbited Lisbon before.In this episode00:00 Introduction: from federal investigator to Setúbal04:02 The 2018 trip that planted the seed06:48 Priced out of Lisbon09:31 Renting vs. buying in Portugal13:41 What Setúbal is really like17:46 Climate and the seasons24:00 Building queer community and founding Setúbal Pride29:31 LGBTQ+ acceptance and local culture33:53 Cost of living: rent and housing44:55 Utilities, internet, and getting around48:30 Food, markets, and the daily lunch special55:16 Walkability and transportation1:06:06 Healthcare: public, private, and Medicare1:25:39 Dining, wine, and café culture1:31:14 Visas and residency1:39:18 Honest trade-offs and final adviceWhat you'll learnWhy Setúbal, and not Lisbon? A medium-sized port city of roughly 140,000 people, Setúbal sits on an estuary with the Arrábida Nature Reserve rising behind it. Jules compares the feel to standing at the water's edge in Seattle, looking back at the hills. Downtown is flat and walkable, the covered market is considered one of the best in Portugal, and you are a short drive or train ride from Lisbon without paying Lisbon prices.What acceptance actually looks like. Portugal is legally progressive, with marriage equality and legal abortion that both predate the United States, but the culture is reserved and private. As Jules puts it, you can show up exactly as you are and be accepted, without anyone needing to label it or make a fuss. Older generations who lived under the dictatorship tend to be more guarded, while younger people simply do not think twice.The reality of building community. Finding the LGBTQ+ community as a single woman took real effort. Jules and a friend started the Setúbal Pride meetup in early 2024, hosting tea dances, potlucks, film nights, and gatherings designed to be diverse and welcoming. Her honest take: lesbians and gay men often socialize differently, and the language and cultural barriers add another layer, so she had to become the initiator rather than wait for community to find her.Walkability with caveats. Downtown is flat, and you can reach the butcher, the market, the pharmacy, and your doctor on foot, supported by a strong local bus system. But the cobblestone calçadas are uneven and tough on anyone with mobility challenges, so comfortable, flat walking shoes are not optional.Healthcare, honestly explained. Once you live in Portugal, you are covered under the public system, and many residents also carry private insurance. The two systems run in parallel and do not really talk to each other. Trauma and emergencies are routed through the public hospital, while private insurance speeds up elective procedures that would otherwise mean long public waitlists. Almost every physician speaks English, though front-desk staff and nurses often do not, so a translation app becomes part of every appointment.A practical snapshotThese are the figures Jules shared from her own experience around the time of recording. Treat them as a starting point, not a quote: costs shift with the market, and euro amounts convert to dollars at the current exchange rate.Rent (1 to 2 bedrooms): roughly 700 to 1,200 euros per month, rising toward 1,900 for newer units with modern amenities like a garage and air conditioning. Many traditional apartments come without appliances or a dryer (clothes dry on the line).Internet, phone, and TV bundle: around 50 euros per month for high-speed fiber.Electricity: can climb to about 200 euros in the hottest summer month if you run air conditioning heavily. Electricity and gasoline are both expensive; gas runs roughly 2 euros per liter, which Jules estimates at nearly 10 dollars per gallon.The daily lunch special (prato do dia): about 12 to 13 euros for several courses, often including bread, olives, a main, dessert, coffee, and wine.Private health insurance: roughly 100 euros per month under age 60, climbing to around 200 in your sixties. Only one private insurer in Portugal will enroll people over 70, though existing policyholders are generally kept on.Visas and residencyJules came on the D7 visa, sometimes called the retiree or passive-income visa. Her path: initial approval valid for 2 years, followed by a 3-year renewal, with the option to apply for permanent residency after 5 years of legal residence. She applied through the VFS vendor that handles Portuguese consular appointments in the U.S., interviewed in Washington, D.C., and saw approval in about 60 days, though timelines vary widely by consulate and can stretch to many months if documents expire mid-process.Important accuracy note on citizenship. Jules mentions that the path to Portuguese citizenship was extended from 5 to 10 years. We confirmed this: Portugal's Parliament approved a revised Nationality Law on April 1, 2026, and the President signed it on May 3, 2026, raising the residency requirement for naturalization to ten years for most non-EU nationals and seven years for EU and Portuguese-speaking (CPLP) nationals, with the residency clock now counting from the issuance of your first residence permit. Some details, including the exact effective date upon official publication and how the change applies to people already in the pipeline, were still being settled at the time of recording, and a constitutional challenge had been filed. This is a fast-moving and consequential area, so if citizenship is part of your plan, please confirm the current rules with a qualified Portuguese immigration attorney before making decisions. Permanent residency after five years is a separate process from citizenship.Jules on the honest trade-offThe hardest thing she gave up was the ease of finding community. Back home, queer life came with built-in hiking groups, dinner clubs, and shows to attend together. In Setúbal, she had to build that herself, and she has, becoming the bridge-builder her Portuguese choir mates now thank for getting everyone out the door. Her advice for anyone considering the move: visit beyond the vacation version, stay in a real neighborhood, do your own grocery run, and feel what daily life is honestly like before you commit. And, in the spirit of a friend who lives by it, say yes to every invitation.Listen and connectListen to the full conversation wherever you get your podcasts, and explore more LGBTQ+ retirement destinations at wheredogaysretire.com.Have a question about retiring abroad or a destination you'd like us to cover?

Richard McGirr is the co-founder of Property Llama and Property Llama Capital, an income focused fund of funds sponsor that helps accredited investors turn underperforming real estate equity into passively managed, cash flowing investments. He also hosts Unlimited Capital on the Best Ever CRE network, where he covers capital raising, fund operations, and the business of building investment platforms. A lifelong entrepreneur, Richard started his first company in college and later spent eight years in China building a software engineering services firm to more than 85 employees. Wanting assets that worked for him instead of headcount, he moved into single family rentals and eventually partnered with Chris Lopez to launch Property Llama. Today his firm invests exclusively in debt funds, using a fund of funds structure to convert idle equity into contractual monthly income. Richard McGirr joins John to explain why so many long-term single family landlords are sitting on millions in equity while earning almost nothing in cash flow. Using data from roughly 6,000 rentals inside the Property Llama platform, where the average return is negative 1% cash on cash, Richard breaks down how a decade of appreciation and debt paydown quietly eroded return on equity. From there, the conversation turns to debt funds. Richard explains how hard money lending to flippers works, why six month loan terms and LTV cushions change the risk profile, and where the real danger sits. He also walks through the fund of funds structure behind Property Llama Capital, the fee discount he negotiated by committing scale, and the operational audit he runs on any lender before placing a dollar with them.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Key Takeaways  Re-underwrite your rentals at today's values, not your purchase price  Track return on equity, not just cash flow, as debt gets paid down  Debt funds pay contractual cash flow from day one, backed by an LTV cushion  Shorter loan terms shrink the window for things to go wrong  Fraud, not default, is the risk that wipes out lenders  Diversify across a loan pool instead of funding one deal at a time     Topics From Software Founder to Real Estate Investor  Built a software engineering services firm in China to over 85 employees  Left a headcount driven business in search of cash flowing assets  Partnered with Chris Lopez by adding value to an already established operator Why the Average Single Family Rental Returns Negative 1%  Roughly 6,000 rentals in the Property Llama system average negative 1% cash on cash  Rents are flat or falling while insurance, vacancy, and CapEx climb  Richard's own Colorado Springs rent fell about 30% after a supply wave The Return on Equity Problem  The education industry teaches investors how to buy, not how to reassess what they own  A property bought at a 7 cap can become a 3.5 cap when values outpace rents  80% LTV becomes 20% LTV, and returns slide from the high teens into single digits The Equity Rich, Income Poor Landlord  Typical client holds 3 to 8 rentals with several million in equity near retirement  Most target $10,000 to $20,000 a month and sit closer to $3,000  Cash out refinances no longer close the gap at current rates Debt Funds 101  A pool of performing loans secured by title on real property  Hard money lenders fund flippers who need high LTV and five day closings  Fully loaded returns run 15% to 18% including origination Why Hard Money Risk Is Structurally Lower  Six month terms limit what can go wrong versus a ten year horizon  A 25% LTV cushion rarely erodes inside six months  Single family homes are the easiest real estate asset to liquidate Fund Investing vs. Lending on Your Own  Private lending demands underwriting, fast closings, draw management, and workouts  A single Denver flip loan can require $1.3 million of capital  $100,000 into a fund buys a slice of 50 loans instead of one Lending Is a Real Operating Business  Lenders run origination, marketing, servicing, and accounting departments  On a 50 loan book, roughly 8% pays off every month and must be replaced  Richard's largest lender partner employs 40 people Building the Fund of Funds Model  Property Llama Capital launched asset light and headcount light by design  Raising capital for another sponsor's deal without a license is a serious violation  Committing $5 million earned a 30% fee discount, split evenly with LPs How Richard Audits a Lender  Request written credit box, servicing, and draw processes  Sample 20% of the loan tape and match a document to every step  Verify title at the county and confirm payoff wires in the bank account

They're BACK! After disappearing from the U.S. markets years ago, Single Stock Futures are making a comeback, and this time the CME Group is bringing them back in a big way. But the big question is... Do traders actually need them? In today's episode, we'll break down the revival of Single Stock Futures (SSFs) and explain exactly what these products are, how they work, and why the CME believes the timing is right to bring them back. The new contracts allow traders to gain futures exposure to individual stocks such as Nvidia, Tesla, Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta and dozens of other major U.S. companies—without actually owning the underlying shares. And there are some interesting potential advantages. We'll discuss: What exactly is a Single Stock Future? Why did Single Stock Futures disappear in the first place? Why is the CME bringing them back NOW? How do they compare with simply buying the stock? How do they compare with stock options? What are the margin and leverage implications? Why nearly 24-hour trading could be a major advantage How Single Stock Futures make shorting stocks much easier Who should—and shouldn't—consider trading them? CME has launched 55 full-sized Single Stock Futures and 22 Micro Single Stock Futures, giving traders the ability to control exposure equivalent to either 100 shares or, with the Micros, just 10 shares. That could make these contracts particularly interesting for active traders looking for greater capital efficiency, easier short exposure, and the ability to react to news outside normal stock-market hours. But just because Wall Street creates a new product doesn't mean you need to trade it. The real question isn't whether Single Stock Futures are exciting. It's whether they give you an advantage over the products you already use. That's what we'll figure out on today's show. Learn more about the new contracts:

One of the hardest conversations many financial advisors avoid isn't about investments or markets—it's about their own fees. If you've ever looked at your client list and realized your fee schedule has evolved over the years into something inconsistent, you're not alone. In this very candid conversation, Libby sits down with advisor Todd Lester to discuss how he tackled a firm-wide fee increase after more than 30 years in the business. Todd shares the mindset shifts, compliance considerations, communication strategies, and surprising results that came from finally aligning his fees with the value his firm provides.In this episode, you'll learn:Why inconsistent fee schedules create both compliance concerns and fairness issues across your client base, and how to recognize when it's time to make a change.How Todd delegated fee increase conversations to a trusted team member, why that approach worked so well, and what advisors can learn from using a third-party communicator.The biggest fears advisors have around raising fees, why those fears are often exaggerated, and how clients actually responded when presented with the changes.The remarkable outcome of Todd's fee increase project, including the recurring revenue added to his practice, the clients he retained, and the lessons he'll carry into future pricing decisions.If you've been putting off reviewing your fee schedule because the conversation feels uncomfortable, this episode will give you both the confidence and the practical ideas to move forward. You'll walk away with a fresh perspective on pricing, value, and why charging appropriately isn't just good for your business—it's also part of serving clients fairly and sustainably.Join the Systems to Scale Group Coaching Program HERE! Register for the Asset+Map Do It Together Webinar HERE! Check out The First 100 Days Course: The Advisor's Blueprint for a Remarkable Client Experience HERE!Learn more about T2MWorks HERE!

As an experienced SEO tester, when one can isolate factors to test hypothesis - its always the conclusion where one can get tripped up.I think there is a huge, unacknowledged blindspot in the Semrush ChatGPT reasoning study published this summer. The glaring flaw is no consideration was made as to how these models have different computational and time limits. One uses parametrized knowledge which allows for lots of pre-computed (cached) resources that once captured the Instant mode can produced them without incuring repeating costs.The same is not true for the Thinking mode. They aren't different search engines - they have different budget constraints of time and cost to extract.In a way, it lead to the creation of my first AI Single Variable Test for Content Symmetry vs Asymmetry . That both search engines and LLMs prefer content that can pass symmetry parity.Mentioned in the show:VizzEx plugin is in the Wordpress Plugin Directoryhttps://wordpress.org/plugins/vizzex/AI doesn't work like Google.

What happens to your care, your finances, and even your pet if you don't have kids to make decisions for you? In this interview, Dori sits down with Sara Zeff Geber, PhD, who coined the term "solo ager," and Jay Zigmont, PhD, MBA, CFP®, founder of Childfree Trust, to dig into one of the most overlooked pieces of retirement planning: who makes decisions for you when you can't, and who's there to help you build the life you want as you age.Sara and Jay bring two complementary perspectives — Sara's decades of work helping people think through housing, relationships, and support systems as solo agers, and Jay's work building an actual fiduciary structure (Childfree Trust) for people who don't have someone to name as power of attorney or executor. Together they cover why people put off estate planning, what documents you actually need, how to build a "team" even if you don't have family nearby, and the surprisingly common reason people finally get their paperwork done (hint: it involves a pet).Sara Zeff Geber, PhD coined the term "solo ager" and is the author of Essential Retirement Planning for Solo Agers: A Retirement and Aging Roadmap for Single and Childless Adults.

Day 1,627.Today, after a weekend that may have seen a record number of drones launched across Ukraine and Russia, we examine what it is actually like to endure a ballistic missile attack – and how different that experience is from a drone barrage. Then, as Kyiv and other cities come under constant bombardment from weapons Ukrainian air defences cannot reliably intercept, we assess the arguments made by some that Ukraine's increasingly ambitious strikes inside Russia could give Vladimir Putin the pretext he needs to mobilise hundreds of thousands more men. We also answer your questions about what Kyiv can realistically do to solve its missile crisis, revealing why President Donald Trump appears to have reversed course over giving Ukraine the blueprints needed to manufacture Patriot missiles.Contributors: Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Antonia Langford (Freelance Journalist in Kyiv). @Antonialford on X.With thanks to RAND engineer Michael Bohnert. @mbohnert on X.Producer: Rachel PorterSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'SullivanSocial Producer: Tom SteedStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

I interviewed Joren Vandenbroucke about The Great Escape on Monday, September 1, 2025 at Venice Immersive in Venice, Italy. Here is the story synopsis for The Great Escape: "In The Great Escape, the viewer arrives as the third of three geranium flowers stuck on the windowsill in the bare living room of Patrick, a lonely 38-year-old man. The geraniums are bored to death and constantly frustrated – with themselves, the windowsill, and Patrick. They long to see the world, but are literally rooted in place. Patrick, meanwhile, walks freely but never leaves the house, trapped in his own lonely routine. Every day starts the same: watering the plants, making coffee, feeding his goldfish, activating his roomba, collecting junk mail, then daydreaming by the window. The monotony gets shaken up when Patrick buys a smartphone to connect with the outside world. The geraniums secretly steal it and post a selfie in a plant swap group, where a woman named Sonja spots it. She convinces Patrick to swap the geraniums for her snake plant. The geraniums are thrilled as they venture outside with Patrick, until a chat with a dying bouquet of roses reveals the outside world isn't so kind to plants. The ensuing existential crisis leads the plants to their near demise and ultimately to a new home with a rather familiar setting." Here are the contextual domains that are explored: Home [4], then using communications technologies with a cell phone and social media [3] to connect to someone else in the neighborhood [3]. Then going on a massive adventure. [9] For a human, it's a short-distance travel [3], but for this geranium, it may feel like a completely exotic long-distance journey [9] relative to how often plants move around. "They long to see the world, but are literally rooted in place." Here is the Elemental Center of Gravity: 1st Center of Gravity of Emotional Presence: Very FUNNY! Narrative-driven, immersive animation. Surreal comedy genre.2nd Center of Gravity of Earth Element / Environmental and Embodied Presence: You embody a geranium who uses a phone to put themselves on an Online Marketplace and escape into another human owner. From one home to another via public tranportation. The rest of the world is mundane living rooms, a subway trip, and then getting to be outside facing the busy city street3rd Center of Gravity of Air Element / Mental and Social Presence: Dialogue. Single-player experience. But you have some virtual co-presence with other geraniums, as you are embodied as a geranium4th Center of Gravity of Earth Element / Environmental and Embodied Presence: I can't recall if there were any explicit interactions other than being embodied as a geranium. If there were, then they just gated the narrative. May have been some phone interactions. Hard to remember Archetypal Themes and Character Explored: Tension between Boredom of Reality and the same daily routine and Grand Adventure and Excitement. "The geraniums are bored to death and constantly frustrated." Some pretty brave and courageous acts to go on this adventure. Also fears around potential death associated with this adventure. "The geraniums are thrilled as they venture outside with Patrick, until a chat with a dying bouquet of roses reveals the outside world isn't so kind to plants." After the brush with death, then they enter their new home and a new but similar daily routine begins. "The ensuing existential crisis leads the plants to their near demise and ultimately to a new home with a rather familiar setting." Artist Statement: "At the core The Great Escape is about the boredom that comes with comfort. In this story a pair of houseplants are longing for a “great escape” from their daily dull routine, even though nothing is particularly wrong with this daily flow. On one hand the contradicting wishes and desires of the geraniums might seem amusing, but on the other hand they are relatable as well to people who harbour similar escapist dreams or experience certain inexplicable feelings of ennui. Fleeing a golden cage takes courage and learning to let go sometimes, as Patrick experiences in this story. Even then a safe return is not always guaranteed, like the geraniums find out. Still, there is beauty to be found in the ordinary aspects of life and the flow of daily existence." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH5bGRsqn4k This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon.

Everyone thinks counting macros is discipline. Almost no one tells you it might be the exact thing keeping you sick, tired, and stuck. Justin Roethlingshoefer breaks down why tracking every calorie was never discipleship, it's obsession dressed up as obedience, and what it actually looks like to steward your nutrition the way God designed.This episode isn't anti-nutrition or anti-education. Counting calories for a week to learn what's on your plate is a tool. But the moment tracking becomes the lifestyle you live by, it stops being freedom and quietly becomes a prison, one that pulls you further from the whole foods your body was actually built to run on, while you fit "macro-friendly" chemicals into a worldly box and call it worship.In this episode, discover:The difference between using tracking as an educational tool vs. a lifestyle (and the exact moment it turns into a prison)Why "macro-friendly" foods sabotage you — how you end up eating more chemicals than real food, even when the numbers "fit"What Romans 12:1–2 actually means for your plate — eating healthy as the living sacrifice, not the restrictionThe real reason you're still sick, foggy, inflamed, and stuck (hint: you've starved the cell of what God gave it)The one shift that ends the obsession for good: eat what God made, not what man madeBecause freedom was never in the equation. It was never about fitting the ice cream sundae into your macros, it was about surrendering what you fuel with into the temple so you can carry out the calling on your life. Whole foods. Single-ingredient foods. Eaten freely, and with gratitude. Stop counting. Start stewarding.

Society is on an endless search for happiness, training us to believe that the next product, relationship, lifestyle, or change in circumstances will finally satisfy us. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains why every earthly substitute eventually disappoints: we were created to find our joy and satisfaction in God alone. This truth applies not only to material things, but also to marriage and singleness. Singles should not believe a spouse will complete them, and married believers should not assume escape from difficulty will bring the happiness they long for. Paul understood the blessing of singleness as a life of undivided service to the Lord, while also affirming marriage as a gift of God for sanctification, companionship, and Christlike love. Dr. Youssef reminds us that contentment comes when God takes hold of our marriage, our singleness, and every season of life. The secret to peace is not getting our preferred circumstance—it is listening to God, obeying Him, and trusting that His will is good. When you face decisions, questions, challenges, or deep desires, begin by going to God's Word. Seek the wisdom of the Holy Spirit first, and allow godly counsel to confirm what He is teaching you. Whether married or single, contentment is found in discerning and following God's will for your life. Prayer: Lord, take hold of my life. I trust You with my situation, remembering You have ordained it and will bring good from it. I will put my hope in You and follow Your way. Lead me, Father. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches” (1 Corinthians 7:17). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

Simon Constable reports on the extreme weather and energy pressures facing Europe, with Brent crude prices up 12% and natural gas up 22% in a single month. He details a "semi-invasion" of Spain, where 60,000 migrants recently attempted to cross from Morocco, and the controversy in the UK over using the Royal Navy to return migrant boats to France. Constable describes the lack of logic in French police allowing these dangerous rubber rafts to depart. Switching to his "data center quiz," he reveals that 67% of new data centers are planned for rural areas, which often brings both high local resistance and significant tax revenue. He identifies labor shortages—particularly for electricians—and tariff uncertainties as the primary barriers to U.S. data center construction. Constable notes that within five miles of an operational data center, a significant portion of the U.S. population now resides. (8)

What if getting laid off wasn't the end of your story, but the beginning of building a business no one could take away? If you've ever wondered whether you're truly "good enough" to charge premium prices, Nicole McMann's journey will remind you that confidence isn't something you're born with, it's something you build. This week on the Joycast, Baltimore photographer Nicole McMann shares how losing her nonprofit job pushed her to finally pursue the photography business she'd been putting off for years. Starting without paying clients or a portfolio, she trusted the process, landed her first family session, and walked away from her ordering appointment with a $9,568 sale and a whole new belief in herself. ● How trusting a proven process helped her overcome fear and charge premium prices with confidence ● The mindset shift that turned self-doubt into a $9,500 family portrait sale ● Why building skills no one can take away creates freedom far beyond photography If you've been waiting until you feel "ready," this conversation is the reminder you need. Your next chapter doesn't start when everything is perfect. It starts the moment you decide to believe that your work, and your future, are worth investing in.

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter Jim Otvos is a biophysical chemist who pioneered the use of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to measure lipoprotein particles and developed the first FDA-cleared method for directly quantifying LDL particle number (LDL-P), a technology that has since expanded to provide broader insights into metabolic health, inflammation, insulin resistance, and mortality risk. In this episode, Jim recounts the unlikely story of transforming a flawed cancer test into a new way of measuring lipoproteins, explains what standard cholesterol tests can miss and why LDL-P and apoB can inform treatment decisions beyond LDL cholesterol alone, and dispels the misconception that large, "fluffy" LDL particles are benign. He also explores how NMR can reveal insulin resistance before blood sugar rises, GlycA as a marker of chronic low-grade inflammation, and the metabolic vulnerability index (MVX) as a potential measure of frailty, resilience, and mortality risk across the lifespan. Finally, Jim explains why NMR diagnostics remain underused despite the wealth of information they can extract from a single blood test. We discuss: How investigating a flawed 1986 cancer test led to the development of NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) lipoprotein testing [3:30]; How standard lipid panels measure cholesterol and triglycerides, and why LDL cholesterol is estimated rather than directly measured [15:15]; How NMR spectroscopy measures lipoprotein particle size and concentration [20:30]; Why LDL particle number matters more than particle size, and why large, "fluffy" LDL is not benign [28:45]; Discordance between LDL cholesterol and LDL particle number: which measure better reflects cardiovascular risk? [36:30]; How metabolic syndrome and lipid-lowering treatment contribute to the discordance between LDL-C and LDL-P, and the value of particle number for managing risk [45:30]; Using the NMR-derived LP-IR score to detect insulin resistance and predict type 2 diabetes before glucose rises [51:15]; The development, commercialization, and uncertain future of the Vantera NMR Analyzer and NMR-based diagnostics [1:04:45]; The analytical efficiency of NMR testing and the data-driven development of the Metabolic Vulnerability Index (MVX) [1:16:00]; GlycA as an NMR-derived marker of systemic inflammation: its discovery, biological basis, and advantages over hs-CRP [1:25:45]; Developing the Metabolic Vulnerability Index (MVX): biomarkers of inflammation, malnutrition, muscle wasting, and mortality risk [1:34:00]; What MVX can tell us about longevity and mortality [1:44:15]; How MVX may reveal metabolic frailty and predict premature mortality decades in advance in young, healthy adults [1:50:30]; Potential applications of MVX for predicting treatment response, surgical resilience, and clinical trial outcomes, and the barriers to broader use [2:00:00]; ApoB versus LDL-P: their clinical similarities, the additional information provided by NMR, and barriers to broader adoption [2:07:30]; Interpreting the effects of the CETP inhibitor, obicetrapib, on LDL-P, apoB, and small HDL particles [2:13:00]; The future of NMR diagnostics and MVX: translating scientific potential into broader clinical use [2:20:45]; and More.
