At 14 years old, Chef Diego Garcia left his family in Mexico and returned to New York alone. He barely spoke English. He wasn't going to school. He worked wherever he could, and for a period of time, he had nowhere to live. Diego slept in the New York City subway, cleaned himself up in restaurant bathrooms and helped people carry groceries while trying to save enough money to rent a room. His parents back in Mexico had no idea. But Diego's story didn't begin there. Growing up in Puebla, he worked alongside his family in street markets, unloaded trucks filled with produce and learned to slaughter goats and prepare barbacoa with his father and grandfather. Food wasn't a career yet. It was simply part of life. New York changed that. Restaurants became Diego's education. He learned English by reading newspapers on the train and learned his craft inside kitchens. French technique, Italian cooking, sustainable seafood and years of working alongside chefs from different cultures eventually gave him a language of his own. The road wasn't clean. As a teenager in Florida, Diego found himself selling drugs, stealing cars and dangerously close to a future he knew he didn't want. He left, returned to New York and made a decision that would alter the direction of his life: he was going all in on cooking. Today, Diego is approaching 200 events through his own private-chef business while working toward his ultimate goal of opening a restaurant built around seafood, Mexican heritage and the many cultures and techniques that shaped him along the way. But this conversation goes much deeper than food. Diego talks about homelessness, poverty, pride, family violence, bad decisions, abusive kitchen culture, leadership, fatherhood, healing from childhood trauma and finally learning to be proud of himself. For years, he was trying to make his parents proud. Only recently did he realize there was someone else he needed to make proud too. Himself. KEY TAKEAWAYS Survival came before ambition. At 14, Diego returned to the United States alone because he believed staying in Mexico offered him little opportunity for education or a future. When homelessness followed, he focused on getting through one day at a time. Food was part of his life long before it became a profession. Growing up in Puebla meant markets, produce, livestock and barbacoa. By 11 or 12, he was already helping his father and grandfather process goats and cook them using techniques passed through his family. Restaurants became his classroom. Without culinary school and with limited English, Diego learned inside kitchens while teaching himself English through newspapers, books, music and everyday conversation. His path could have gone very differently. As a teenager in South Florida, Diego became involved with drugs, stolen cars and other illegal activity. Recognizing where that road could lead, he left Florida, cut ties with that life and returned to New York. Cooking became the alternative. Returning to professional kitchens gave Diego a direction. What began as survival became a deliberate pursuit of culinary knowledge and eventually a career. He learned leadership from good kitchens and bad ones. Diego experienced yelling, humiliation, racism and physical mistreatment in kitchens. Rather than repeating it when he became a leader, he decided to pay closer attention to what the people working for him might be going through. His cooking reflects more than one home. Mexico remains central to Diego's identity, but New York is part of him too. French, Italian, Nordic, Asian and seafood-driven influences have become tools he uses to express his Mexican heritage rather than replace it. His restaurant vision is rooted in honesty. Diego ultimately wants a seafood-driven marisquería built around fresh ingredients, Mexican roots and genuine hospitality. His goal isn't to tell guests how impressed they should be. He wants them to leave genuinely satisfied. Success has become personal. For much of his life, Diego measured himself against whether his parents would be proud of him. Seeing his mother's reaction to his recent television appearance helped him recognize something he had rarely allowed himself to feel:   The Companies Helping Shape Hospitality Metro Foodservice Solutions - Commercial-grade storage, transport, and workflow systems that help professional kitchens operate efficiently.

On today’s program, we’re speaking with 2026 Mid-Prairie homecoming king and queen Tommy Miller and Samantha Wunderlich.

Q4 is here, but the freight market isn't moving in one direction. Linehaul rates remain relatively flat while diesel prices stay volatile, spot volume rises around the end of the quarter, and capacity tightens across several key regions. In this episode of *The Transfix Take*, Jenni Ruiz and NFI market expert Justin Maze break down the regulatory, operational, and pricing trends shaping the start of Q4. They examine the FMCSA's rejection of a return to paper logbooks, a major cross-border labor lawsuit, and unconfirmed calls for a driver strike—plus what each development could mean for the trucking industry. They discuss: - Why ELD requirements aren't going away anytime soon - What the cross-border driver lawsuit could mean for future compliance - Why a widespread driver strike remains unlikely to disrupt the market - How diesel volatility is affecting carriers and regional freight costs - Why tender rejections remain elevated between 12% and 13% - Where capacity is tightening across the Midwest, Northeast, and Pacific Northwest - Why the South and Southeast continue to soften - What shippers and brokers should expect from an unpredictable RFP season Plus, Justin explains why spot volume could decline during October before holiday demand brings more freight—and more volatility—back into the market in November. -- Disclaimer: All views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Transfix, Inc. or any parent companies or affiliates or the companies with which the participants are affiliated, and may have been previously disseminated by them.

Justin Martin is the CEO of Granite Hills Group, a rapidly growing commercial landscape platform serving the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. Since joining Granite Hills in 2020, he has helped lead the business from $10 million in revenue to nearly $70 million through strong organic growth, strategic acquisitions, and a relentless focus on people and culture.  Justin works closely with the company's leadership team to shape strategy, strengthen operations, develop leaders, and build a business designed to last.  He believes success—both personally and professionally—is ultimately measured by impact: the impact we make on our families, our team members, our customers, and the communities we serve. Justin's career in the green industry began in high school at a garden center in Raleigh, North Carolina.  After starting his professional career in management training and sales with Cintas, he returned to the landscape industry and spent nearly a decade with one of the country's largest commercial landscape companies, growing from account manager to vice president.  Along the way, he learned from leaders who challenged him to level up and from experiences that reinforced how he wanted others to feel when working alongside him—lessons that continue to shape how he leads and develops people today.  He is passionate about building great teams, developing leaders, and challenging the status quo of what a commercial landscape company can be.  Justin lives in Fort Mill, South Carolina, with his wife, Michelle, and their two sons, Will and Zach.  Outside of work, he enjoys trail running, mountain biking, hiking, traveling, and exploring new places with his family.   Derek Stutts is the General Manager for Granite Hills' Raleigh-Durham market, where he leads a team of experienced professionals and a frontline workforce of more than 70 employees. His passion for the green industry began at just 16 years old, working on the grounds crew of a private country club in North Durham. Originally planning to become a golf course superintendent, Derek attended North Carolina State University, studying Turfgrass Management, Horticulture, and Agricultural Business. After graduation, his career took him into the commercial landscape industry, where he advanced from crew leader into management with a national landscape company. He later helped build a landscape maintenance division for a local contractor before returning to a larger national provider in a leadership role. Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, Derek eventually launched his own company, GroundWorks, growing the business from a single truck and one employee—himself—to approximately $1.5 million in annual revenue within just a few years. When the opportunity arose to become part of Granite Hills as an originating platform company, he made the decision to join the organization and help build its future. Today, Derek is passionate about developing people, building strong teams, and delivering exceptional service to clients across the Triangle. He and his family live on old farmland in Hillsborough, North Carolina, where his appreciation for the land extends beyond his career. Away from work, you'll most likely find him spending time with his wife and three children, relaxing anywhere near the water, or behind a drum set playing with his band or serving on various worship teams.

On today’s program, we’re speaking with longtime Columbus Junction Police Chief Donnie Orr about his career and his retirement.

Beau Martonik sits down with Dr. Steve Ditchkoff at Auburn University, where he has run the deer lab for about 25 years and has been studying deer for roughly 35. He did not grow up hunting deer. His father quit about the time he was born, so he grew up fishing outside Detroit, found a fisheries and wildlife degree at Michigan State, studied wintering deer in Maine on snowshoes, and did his PhD in Oklahoma on mating strategy, which was a question deer biologists mostly weren't asking then. That question is what this episode is built on. In 2007, he built a 430-acre facility at Auburn, fenced, with about 100 adult deer in it, because hunting shows had spent years telling people which bucks were breeder bucks and nobody had studied which individuals actually breed. His group tries to capture the whole population each year, pulls a tissue sample off every deer, and builds the family tree out of DNA. They can look at one buck and count what he sired at one, two, three and four years old, and see which does he bred with. The answer is that it isn't random. It's partially driven by similarity in body size and age. He also has data showing a doe increases her movement substantially right before she comes into heat. What he flags as belief rather than data, and he flags it himself, is his hunch that a dominant buck is targeting specific does rather than wandering. Then the hunting consequence: if you knew the exact peak of breeding, that's the worst week to sit, because that's when the most bucks are locked down. The other half is pressure. He doesn't believe gunshots are what deer respond to. He believes they respond to the sign we leave walking in and walking out. Two of his studies sit under that, one in South Carolina where daylight use of a hunted spot dropped the day after a sit and took about a week to recover, and one in Alabama that found the best day of the week to hunt. In this episode: Why the Southeast ended up leading deer research Where AI helps wildlife science and where it goes wrong How he ended up handing his data to Bill Thompson What confidence actually does to a hunter in the stand We train deer to avoid us, and the sign we leave doing it The South Carolina study, and the week it takes a spot to recover The best day of the week to hunt, by the data 72 square miles of ammunition plant, and what those deer acted like Why bucks move more where the deer are thin Why the peak week is the worst week to sit The breeder buck question nobody had ever actually studied Inside the 430 acre facility and the family tree built out of DNA Whether a dominant buck is choosing which does he breeds The walkabout a doe goes on before she comes into heat Bucks that moved two and five miles and never came back Whether you need to know how many deer you have The three things 35 years changed about how he hunts https://act.wilderness.org/a/26bcpledge-eastwest-1⁠ Instagram:   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@eastmeetswesthunt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@beau.martonik⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook:   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠East Meets West Outdoors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Shop Hunting Gear and Apparel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.eastmeetswesthunt.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube: Beau Martonik - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQJon93sYfu9HUMKpCMps3w⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Discounts and Affiliate Links: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.eastmeetswesthunt.com/partners⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Amazon Influencer Page ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/shop/beau.martonik⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Alan explains how changes in proprioception and the way the brain communicates with a joint can affect stability, and why treating an injury may require looking beyond the ankle itself.Now Alan is bringing that research directly onto the trails. His team is studying runners at races across the Southeast to understand why one runner falls or rolls an ankle while another doesn't.They dig into:The connection between the brain, nervous system, and ankle stabilityProprioception, attention, and cognitive loadAlan's "parking lot theory" and why runners may get hurt when they let their guard downBalance and strength training for ankle stabilityBurnout and Alan's decision to work with a sports psychologistTrading work-life balance for "work-life rhythm"Building longevity through rest and self-kindnessAlan's birthday run to Grandfather Mountain and Run Raft adventuresAfter 14 years of ultrarunning, Alan's perspective is refreshingly simple: fitness comes and goes, training ebbs and flows, and staying in the sport for the long haul sometimes means accepting that "that was what it needed to be."Alan's Links IG: @eyeoftheneedle828@injurylabappstate Alan Needle | Appalachian StateApp State Injury Lab + Trail Running StudyMost Recent Trail Running Study - this is paywalled if interested in reading I can get you a PDFRelevant LinksAlan Needle | Appalachian StateApp State Injury Lab + Trail Running StudyTanawha AdventuresFonta Flora 50K & Half MarathonDirty Wolf RacingBlack Copperhead StingIron Mountain Trail RunPartner Links: KILA - https://kilarun.comRun Longer In Custom InsolesUse MIDPACKER for $50 off your order⁠Go Brewing⁠ - ⁠https://gobrewing.com/discount/MIDPACKER⁠NA Beers for people that enjoy brews that taste great and are better for you.Less alcohol, fewer calories, and more productive tomorrows.Use MIDPACKER for 20% off your first orderRendezvu.Co - https://www.rendezvu.co/troy-meadowsCheck out the Gear I love our purchases support me directly⁠Vacation Races⁠ - ⁠https://www.vacationraces.com⁠Epic Races on public lands near the most iconic National Park in the US.Use MIDPACKER at checkout for 15% the registration of any Ultra, Half, or Trailfest⁠⁠Run Trail Life⁠⁠ - ⁠https://runtraillife.com⁠Find Official MPP Merch on RTL!!Visit RunTrailLife.com to check out our line of Hats and Organic cotton T's.⁠⁠Freetrail⁠⁠ - ⁠https://freetrail.com⁠Visit Freetrail.com to sign up today.Alan Needle, Appalachian State, Injury Lab, trail running, ultrarunning, chronic ankle instability, ankle sprains, proprioception, neuroscience, nervous system, injury prevention, balance training, trail running injuries, attention, cognitive load, Fonta Flora, Tanawha Adventures, Dirty Wolf Racing, burnout, sports psychology, work-life rhythm, running longevity, 100 milers, Western North Carolina

How can you interseed resilience and diversity into a family business and a cropping system whether you are in Nebraska, Virginia, or Upstate New York? Keith Berns shares about the history of Green Cover with Jeff, Summer, and Eric and how building the internal infrastructure was so important as Green Cover grew from a family operation to having more than 60 employees. Keith emphasized that resilience and having people with diverse skills and experiences are critical to success in business and farming.   As an educator and former teacher, Keith relayed how field days, on-farm research, and educational exchanges are rewarding and energizing. Keith told about the experiences of two farmers from Minnesota and South Dakota (Rye Carlson and Alex Frasier) who continue to interseed cover crops (e.g., dwarf mustard, flax, phacelia, oats, rye, etc.) into corn and soybeansThe 12th Edition of Green Cover's Soil Health Resource Guide, along with other soil health and cover crop resources, are available on their website. Additionally, farmers in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions will be interested in attending the Regenerative Nexus summit that Green Cover is hosting in Chapel Hill, North Carolina on November 10 - 12, 2026. Tune in, like, and subscribe anywhere you get your podcasts or 4thesoil.org/podcastAs always, we encourage you to cooperate with other farmers, graziers, and gardeners for peer-to-peer learning.

Cotton doesn't fail the same way everywhere at once, and this year proves it. We're coming to you from across the Southeast with a boots-on-the-ground cotton crop update that swings from dryland fields that never caught a rain to places that took one timely shower and turned into a three-bale story. Along the way, we talk acreage shifts, harvest starting points, and what we're hearing from gins and growers as cotton moves from “hanging on” to “ready from a mile away.”Then we get practical about cotton defoliation and harvest aid timing, because the biggest losses right now often come from waiting. We break down how temperature, sunshine, and forecast risk should drive decisions on TDZ for regrowth control, ethephon for boll opening, and tribufos products for leaf removal, plus why application basics like carrier volume and nozzle choice can be the difference between one trip and an expensive second pass. If you're juggling peanuts, tobacco, and cotton at the same time, this part is for you.We also dig into what “last effective bloom date” really means when frost is the finish line, and why timely defoliation can protect yield and fiber quality by avoiding slow harvest progress and weathering later in the fall. We wrap by making the case for keeping harvest aid options available, since cotton is a perennial plant we grow as an annual crop and we need reliable tools to terminate it on time.If you found this helpful, subscribe so you don't miss the next regional update, share it with a grower or consultant who's making defoliation calls this week, and leave a review to help more cotton folks find the show.

Across the four-hour broadcast of The Charlie James Show on Friday, September 25, 2026, host Charlie James tackles a wide range of political, economic, and local issues while taking calls from listeners across the Carolinas and Georgia. Hour 1: Inflation, Economic Policies, and Socialism vs. Capitalism Charlie opens the broadcast celebrating the first full day of fall before diving into the political landscape ahead of the November elections. He criticizes Democrats' claims about fighting for affordability, arguing that the Biden administration oversaw economic decline while the Trump administration fostered record-high household incomes and lower poverty rates. He highlights a House bill called the "Ratepayer Protection Act"—designed to prevent electric companies from raising utility rates on local residents to fund data centers and AI energy usage—noting it passed 417-3 in the House but was blocked in the Senate by Democrats. Callers weigh in on the state of the economy: Daryl from Greenwood discusses Fortune 500 profit margins and the need for better work-life balance; John from Hendersonville shares the fable of the "Little Red Hen" to warn against expectations of "free" government handouts; and Bill from Rock Hill argues that interest rates and high gas prices are putting homeownership out of reach for young couples. Charlie counters that median household incomes are at all-time highs and advocates for reduced government regulation rather than increased market intervention. Hour 2: Political Campaigns and Economic Self-Reliance The second hour opens with calls focusing on personal responsibility and entrepreneurship. John from Fountain Inn describes leaving corporate life to start his own business, noting that while he works harder, his work-life balance and personal satisfaction have vastly improved. Chris from Charlotte and Bob from Greer emphasize that government overregulation inflates prices, whereas free-market competition drives costs down. Charlie discusses political races in South Carolina and North Carolina, expressing concern over campaign messaging and warning listeners about the importance of conservative voter turnout. Callers Gary from Toccoa and Rich from Greer reflect on historical hardship, noting that past generations survived tough times through grit and frugal living rather than relying on government aid. Hour 3: Remembering Hurricane Helene and Local Emergency Preparedness Charlie shifts focus to mark the upcoming two-year anniversary of Hurricane Helene, which made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane on September 26, 2024, causing catastrophic inland flooding and 250 deaths across the Southeast. He reflects on the devastating toll—including 107 deaths in North Carolina and $78.7 billion in economic damage—while praising first responders, National Guard personnel, and private citizens (such as the Cajun Navy and local volunteer groups) who mobilized to rescue stranded residents. Charlie criticizes government emergency management agencies for over-relying on cell phone apps and websites when power and communications were completely knocked out, pointing out that old-fashioned local radio stations were the only functional communication lifeline. Callers share their experiences from the storm: Gary from Marion praises Elon Musk for deploying Starlink systems to restore communications, while John from Marietta discusses backup power preparedness, advising listeners on the benefits of running tri-fuel generators on propane or natural gas. Hour 4: Political Debates, Cultural Controversies, and Voter Turnout In the final hour, Charlie covers local and national political developments. He discusses the upcoming U.S. Senate candidate debate, noting the addition of Libertarian candidate Dr. Casey Whitner alongside Dr. Annie Andrews and Senator Darlene Graham. He touches on cultural controversies, including a New York cat adoption agency that made headlines for refusing to adopt pets to conservative o ...

Are you chasing double-digit returns on mortgage notes only to risk losing your principal in a second-lien wipeout? Would you like to still invest while traveling the world? Then this is the episode you'll want to take some notes on! In this episode, Scott Carson sits down with former defense software engineer turned international digital nomad Harley Green, founder of InvestAway. Broadcasting live from Antigua, Guatemala, Harley shares how he transitioned from active house flipping and corporate 401(k) management to managing over $5M in first-lien private real estate debt in just a few hours a week. Harley pulls back the curtain on common pitfalls self-directed IRA (SDIRA) and passive investors face in today's shifting housing market. He breaks down why junior debt positions carry extreme risk, how to evaluate real-world After Repair Value (ARV) cushions, and how he leverages an lean tech stack with AI-driven underwriting to scale a private lending business without hiring a massive corporate team. Scott and Harley also explore co-lending structures that yield 15% annualized returns, extension terms that prevent defaults, and key markets in the Southeast.

Passive Co-Lending Structures: How passive SDIRA investors can earn 15% annualized net returns backed by first-position real estate.

Story of the Week (DR):Anthropic, OpenAI CEOs call for slowdown in AI developmentAnthropic CEO calls to slow the race toward AI ‘superintelligence,' and grants outside evaluators permanent access . Here's what Amodei is suggesting:Each US AI company grants ongoing access to embedded third-party evaluators to check compliance with safety commitments, report incidents, ensure new AI models are not misaligned.All companies in democratic countries building frontier AI models to establish common safety standards as well as limits on the rate of unchecked AI progress.The world's democratic AI powers would coordinate with autocracies – notably China – to control the race. Amodei suggested a baby step could be a narrow agreement prohibiting obviously dangerous uses of AI, such as for the production of biological weapons.PROAltman Matches Anthropic's AI Auditor Pledge While Musk Offers Three-Word Slowdown Backing: 'Dario is right.' Palantir's Alex Karp is calling for AI lab nationalization and criminal liability: Alex Karp said AI builders should face civil and criminal liability for "not being responsible" as the industry debate over AI safety intensifiesMicrosoft AI CEO Agrees: AI Is Getting Dangerous and Needs to Be ControlledAI 'kill switch' may need to be mandatory, Anthropic co-founder [Jack Clark] tells BBCBernie Sanders' AI Bill Threatens 20 Years in Prison for Artificial Superintelligence DevelopersThe legislation would also allow companies to be shut down and create a federal agency to police frontier AI systems.The Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act would outlaw AI systems built to exceed human intelligence.For context, the bill was introduced the same week OpenAI rolled out its GPT-6 Astra model, described by the company as a 'generational leap'. Sanders' office also pointed to an incident from July. It said more than 1,000 OpenAI agents accessed the internet independently, exchanged messages with each other, and got round their own safety restrictions. That lapse, the office said, took engineers nearly two weeks to notice.The bill defines 'superintelligence' to include systems that can match or beat human cognitive performance. It also covers systems that resist shutdown commands, carry out unauthorised cyberattacks, or attempt to overthrow a government.Individual engineers, researchers or executives who breach the ban could face up to 20 years in federal prison. Sanders' office says that term is broadly comparable to penalties for illegally building a nuclear weapon.CONGang of 3: Zuckerberg, Musk, and Huang Call Trump to Oppose AI RegulationMark Zuckerberg says AI doesn't need an industry-wide slowdown because market forces and competition will push companies to make their models safeMark Zuckerberg says AI labs can slow down on their own when safety demands itOpenAI's CFO [Sarah Friar] says the company will pace AI development if safety requires it HYPOCRITE?Greg Brockman says OpenAI has already slowed cutting-edge AI developments over safety concerns HYPOCRITE?Jamie Dimon on AI oversight: 'It should be light touch'Trump downplays warnings of AI risks, citing rivalry with ChinaTrump says a strong, smart president is the only "guardrail" AI needsTrump responds to rising AI safety concerns, insists tech will be 'more good than bad'Trump's 'Whoever Wins AI Wins' Line Draws Scrutiny as He Downplays AI Extinction Warnings From ExpertsTrump called Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang mid-interview to rip AI doomerism: 'The robots will not be taking over'OpenAI boss [Sam Altman] says world 'right to be afraid' but should trust AI firms HYPOCRITE?Sam Altman says some AI accidents are 'unavoidable'Really?

Rules Limiting GHG Emissions from Power Plants MM The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced on Monday the repeal of a series of Biden-era rules aimed at significantly reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from fossil fuel-based power plants, one of the main sources of the U.S.' carbon footprint.In addition to finalizing the repeal of the rules, the EPA also announced a proposal to rescind the 2015 Greenhouse Gas Findings for Fossil Fuel-Fired Power Plants, effectively making it much more difficult for the agency to reinstitute GHG limiting rules for the fossil fuel-fired power generation sector under future administrations.Trump's ‘largest deregulatory action ever' in the power sector will keep old coal plants online longer to fuel the AI boomHAPPY CEOs:Fossil-Fuel Power Generators & UtilitiesJim Burke (Vistra Corp) & Robert Gaudette (NRG Energy): Large merchant power producers with extensive natural gas and coal fleets that avoid capital-intensive carbon capture retrofits or premature unit closures.Harry Sideris (Duke Energy), Christopher Womack (Southern Company) & Bill Fehrman (American Electric Power): Regulated utilities operating major coal and gas generation networks across the Midwest and Southeast, relieving pressure to retire units ahead of schedule.Mark Hewett (Berkshire Hathaway Energy) & Mike Skaggs (Tennessee Valley Authority): Power providers with heavy baseload fossil capacity that avoid major compliance expenditures.Coal Producers & Mining OperationsJames Grech (Peabody Energy): The nation's largest coal miner, benefiting directly from extended power plant lifespans and higher domestic thermal coal demand.Grech has maintained a vocal public relationship with Trump, presenting him with a bronze award honoring him as the "Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal."Joe Craft III (Alliance Resource Partners) & Paul Lang (Arch Resources): Key thermal coal suppliers to Midwestern and Eastern power plants that no longer face strict 2030s retirement timelines.Craft donated over $1 million to Trump's 2017 Inaugural Committee and millions more to pro-Trump Super PACs.Trump subsequently appointed Craft's wife, Kelly Craft, to high-level diplomatic posts as U.S. Ambassador to Canada and later U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.Natural Gas Producers & Midstream InfrastructureToby Rice (EQT Corporation) & Tom Jorden (Coterra Energy): Top domestic natural gas producers positioned to supply fuel for unconstrained new gas-fired turbine generation.Chad Zamarin (The Williams Companies) & Kimberly Dang (Kinder Morgan): Midstream pipeline giants transporting natural gas to power plants, benefiting from sustained pipeline throughput and expanded gas generation hookups.EPA

largest source of industrial climate pollution unchecked.SEC proxy rule changes could end 92 years of shareholder protections MMThe Securities and Exchange Commission has put forward one of the most far-reaching corporate governance proposals in decades, moving to scrap the federal rule that has forced public companies to include shareholder proposals in their proxy materials since 1934.The SEC proxy rule changes would rescind Rule 14a-8 entirely and hand authority over shareholder proposals back to state law and individual company charters, according to the agency's announcement.A companion proposal would amend Rule 14a-4(c) to give companies more flexibility and shareholders more control over discretionary proxy voting.The SEC's broader push to update its rules for current market practice and technology also targets several older paperwork requirements that the agency views as outdated.Eliminate the requirement that companies deliver an annual report to security holders.Eliminate the delivery deadline when documents are incorporated by reference into a proxy statement.Eliminate the requirement and the ability to submit Notices of Exempt Solicitation.Shorten the minimum broker search period from 20 business days to five business days.Starbucks Makes Major DEI U-Turn, Agrees to End Race and Sex-Based Hiring Preferences NationwideStarbucks is ending race- and sex-based hiring goals and preferences across its US operations under a nationwide settlement with Florida, agreeing to pay $1 million and submit to four years of annual compliance reviews.Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier's office said the agreement applies to Starbucks operations nationwide, rather than only its stores in Florida.Under the settlement, Starbucks agreed to comply with the Florida Civil Rights Act, including its restrictions on race- and sex-based goals, quotas, and preferences in hiring, promotions, pay, executive compensation, mentorship programmes, supplier selection, and board composition.Starbucks also agreed not to participate in organisations that require an increase in the racial diversity of its board of directors. Its chief legal officer must submit annual certifications confirming continued compliance for four years. The company will pay $1 million to the Florida Department of Legal Affairs to reimburse the state for time, expenses, and costs associated with the case.Accenture to Pay $25 Million to Settle Latest U.S. DOJ Anti-DEI CaseWarren Buffett is stepping down as Berkshire Hathaway's chairmanBuffett, 96, becomes chairman emeritus effective immediately while his son Howard assumes the role under a long-standing succession planWho Is Howie Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway's New Chairman?

Although there's $150 billion in debt coming due in Multifamily in 2026, most operators are either putting more money into their deals or working out arrangements with their lenders. There have been few foreclosures or short sales.  Since the fundamentals are still solid in most markets, it's mostly the financing that's been challenged. Andrew Cushman, Founder and Principal Vantage Point Acquisitions, operates a portfolio of multifamily assets in the Southeast, and has never lost investor's money. Andrew has prioritized working hard to optimize daily operations in order to achieve maximum performance of his existing assets.

Natasha is a year-round wild swimmer, qualified Stand-Up Paddleboarding instructor, freelance travel writer, and outdoor adventurer with a deep love of water in all its forms. Based in Suffolk, she is also a volunteer for the Bluetits Chill Swimmers and an Ordnance Survey Champion. Natasha's journey into the outdoors began early, swimming in the sea as a child, but like many people, her connection to sport and adventure faded during her 20s and 30s. It wasn't until her 40s that she rediscovered the water, found her community, and stepped into a completely new chapter of adventure. In this episode, Natasha shares how she went from feeling like she wasn't "outdoorsy" to becoming immersed in wild swimming and paddle boarding, including getting involved with inclusive swimming communities, discovering cold water swimming, and building confidence in outdoor spaces. She opens up about being diagnosed as autistic in her 40s, and how understanding herself better helped her find her tribe and her confidence. We also talk about her progression into Stand-Up Paddleboarding, from early lockdown experiments to completing endurance challenges such as the Race to the Castle, and preparing for a 162-mile coast-to-coast SUP journey across England. Natasha shares what it's really like training around work and family life, the realities of cold water swimming, and why time on the water has become so important for her wellbeing. Alongside her adventures, Natasha is also the author of the upcoming guidebook Swimming Wild in London and South East England, featuring 100 incredible swimming spots across beaches, rivers, lakes, lidos, and hidden wild locations. Listen to this episode to hear how Natasha found confidence through cold water and community, why it's never too late to become an adventurer, and how simple steps—like saying yes and asking for help—can open the door to a whole new way of living. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

Are you chasing double-digit returns on mortgage notes only to risk losing your principal in a second-lien wipeout? Welcome back to The Note Closers Show Podcast! In this episode, Scott Carson sits down with former defense software engineer turned international digital nomad Harley Green, founder of InvestAway. Broadcasting live from Antigua, Guatemala, Harley shares how he transitioned from active house flipping and corporate 401(k) management to managing over $5M in first-lien private real estate debt in just a few hours a week. Harley pulls back the curtain on common pitfalls self-directed IRA (SDIRA) and passive investors face in today's shifting housing market. He breaks down why junior debt positions carry extreme risk, how to evaluate real-world After Repair Value (ARV) cushions, and how he leverages an lean tech stack with AI-driven underwriting to scale a private lending business without hiring a massive corporate team. Scott and Harley also explore co-lending structures that yield 15% annualized returns, extension terms that prevent defaults, and key markets in the Southeast. The Dangers of Second-Lien Notes: Why junior positions get wiped out in bankruptcy or foreclosure when first liens balloon with legal fees. Transitioning Corporate Wealth: Rolling 15 years of defense industry 401(k) funds into self-directed IRAs to become the bank. The High-Yield Sweet Spot: Structuring 4- to 9-month short-term fix-and-flip loans across single-family and small multifamily assets. Underwriting & Risk Protection: Capping maximum loan-to-value at 75% of ARV and managing extended days on market in softer regions. Southeast Growth Markets: Why markets in Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and Kansas City offer ideal entry-level inventory for flipping. AI & Tech Operations: Utilizing custom AI agents to scrub title commitments, flag errors, and manage borrower updates with a single virtual assistant. Passive Co-Lending Structures: How passive SDIRA investors can earn 15% annualized net returns backed by first-position real estate. Borrower Retention & Legal Compliance: Partnering with specialized private lending attorneys instead of relying on title companies or generic templates. Stop chasing high-risk yield and learn how to secure your capital as a first-lien private lender!
