Welcome to another episode of HALO Talks! Today, host Pete Moore sits down with Luke Hartelust--a dynamic entrepreneur and now the founder of MNLY--who made the leap from the oil and gas rigs off the coast of Australia to California's innovative health tech scene. Luke shares his journey from the grueling world of offshore drilling to launching and scaling fitness businesses, including his instrumental role in bringing F45 Training to Southern California. The conversation dives deep into his latest venture, a groundbreaking men's health platform that uses AI, cutting-edge blood analysis, and custom supplementation to help men take true ownership of their health. Tune in to hear his insights on building community, the power of personalization in wellness, and what it takes to stand out in the rapidly evolving health optimization space. When it comes to the personalized health revolution he states, "Based on your blood work, our model will prescribe specific doses of specific micronutrients, aminos, herbs, extracts and minerals into that custom supplement formula that comes in morning, noon and night packs." Key themes discussed Career transition from oil and gas to health tech. Entrepreneurship journey and lessons learned from failures. F45 Training franchise growth and operational strategies. Brand protection and building strong community engagement. Men's health issues and the need for accountability. Personalized, AI-driven health optimization and supplement plans. Differentiation of in the men's health market. A Few Key Takeaways: 1. From Oil Rigs to Health Tech: Luke shared his path from working shifts on oil rigs to building fitness businesses and eventually moving into health tech. His drive was sparked by a personal epiphany—wanting to create a better life and help others, which led him to become an entrepreneur. 2. Lessons Learned from F45 and Brand Protection: Luke's experience scaling F45 franchises in Southern California gave him a "six-year apprenticeship" in what to do—and what not to do—when building and protecting a brand. A key takeaway: Focus on the emotions your brand evokes and prioritize building a strong community before chasing customer acquisition at scale. 3. Identifying a Gap in Men's Health-Accountability Over Access: After experiencing low energy despite living a healthy lifestyle, Luke discovered his own testosterone was severely low and saw first-hand the ineffectiveness and friction in telehealth for men. He believes the real crisis isn't just health, but accountability and ownership—people need tools and systems that make it easier for them to take proactive control of their well-being. 4. MNLY's Personalized Health Platform-Seamless, AI-Driven, and Fast: MNLY stands apart by integrating AI-powered testing and personalized recommendations to deliver tailored health plans and custom supplement packs. Customers use an at-home blood kit and environmental health assessment, then receive actionable insights and products within days—removing friction points common in traditional telehealth models. 5. Proven Results and a Focus on Efficiency: MNLY's approach delivers results about 50% faster than most competitors, according to Luke, and their pilot data showed significant improvements in markers like testosterone (on average, a 30% increase in 90 days among test users). Their evolving concierge model combines AI-driven support with human coaching, aiming to streamline the path to better health for busy men.

Salvage experts successfully concluded operations at Hong Kong International Airport after an AirACT Boeing 747-400 cargo jet skidded off the North Runway and into the sea. The team recovered key components, including the tail section, an engine, landing gear, and the flight data recorder, following the accident that tragically killed the two occupants of a security car struck by the plane. This episode conducts a deep dive into two critical market dynamics: the immediate, costly friction building at the U.S.-Mexico border due to the MVE compliance rules, and the paradoxical deepening capacity crunch within the domestic U.S. truckload market. We analyze how, despite the national Outbound Tender Volume Index hitting an all-time October low, capacity is quietly tightening up because it is exiting the market faster than demand is falling off, compounded by systemic safety risks linked to the proliferation of substandard CDL training facilities. The trucking sector is experiencing a significant capacity washout driven by a 30% collapse in long-haul freight, which is shifting market share to the resurgent intermodal sector. This capacity erosion, exacerbated by fears of deportation among non-domiciled and immigrant drivers in key markets like Southern California, is creating localized tightness and spot rate increases, which industry experts believe is laying the necessary groundwork for a potential trucking "super cycle" recovery around mid-2025. The U.S. highway system is facing a critical safety crisis, evidenced by a shocking 40% increase in fatal truck crashes since 2014, stemming largely from systemic flaws in commercial driver training and licensing. This deterioration is linked directly to a February 2022 regulatory change that allowed the proliferation of "CDL mills"—substandard facilities that exploit the self-certification database to issue licenses after minimal instruction, demanding stronger federal oversight and enforcement. A comprehensive reform proposal calls for centralizing the Commercial Driver's License system under the USDOT to establish a single, standardized Federal CDL with unified training and testing across the nation. To combat fraud and enhance security, the plan mandates the integration of the Federal CDL with the Transportation Worker Identification Credential card for biometric verification and comprehensive background checks, alongside stringent new rules aimed at eliminating fraudulent “chameleon companies” through address restrictions and federalizing apportioned license plate issuance. Despite the severe downturn in truckload demand, with the OTVI down 19% year-over-year, tender rejection rates are trending higher, underscoring the severe speed at which capacity is being removed from the market. The long-haul segment, specifically, has experienced a 30% decline as intermodal offers near-record savings, forcing trucking networks to regionalize and increasing volatility in long-haul tender rejection rates.

Send us a textIn this episode, we're joined by screenwriter Jack Epps, Jr. and his student, up and coming screenwriter Kate Ginley, who is writing a screenplay about Pan Am and Tenerife.Jack is now a professor and Chair of the Writing for Screen and Television Division at the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts, also known as USC. But you probably already know of him from the most iconic aviation films ever made — the 1986 blockbuster Top Gun, which he co-wrote with his longtime screenwriting partner, Jim Cash. Starring Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer, Top Gun didn't just redefine aviation movies — it became a cultural phenomenon. It inspired generations of aviators, reignited pride in flight, and set the gold standard for how aviation could be portrayed on screen.The film was also a popular hit during its run as a featured movie of Pan Am's Theatre in the Air. Beyond the breathtaking aerial footage, Top Gun is a brilliant study in the craft of screenwriting — how character, emotion, and story structure come together to create cinematic magic.After Top Gun, Jack Epps, Jr.  and Jim Cash went on to write a series of major Hollywood hits, including Legal Eagles, The Secret of My Success, Dick Tracy, and Turner & Hooch. Today, Jack brings that same storytelling mastery to his students at USC — shaping the next generation of screenwriters and filmmakers.In our conversation, we'll talk about Jack's remarkable career, his insights into the art and discipline of screenwriting, the enduring legacy of Top Gun, and how Kate is carrying that storytelling spirit forward in her new screenplay about Pan Am and the tragedy at Tenerife.Support the show Visit Us for more Pan Am History!

SHOW 10-24-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT CANADA  IN THE EYES OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. FIRST HOUR 9-915 Pennsylvania Aims to Be AI Capital with US-Made Non-Lithium Batteries. Salena Zito reports on Governor Shapiro's plan to establish Pennsylvania as the AI and data center capital, capitalizing on its energy resources and university system. She focuses on EOS, a Turtle Creek company making non-lithium batteries that are 97% US-made, countering reliance on Chinese lithium. AI data centers require high energy reliability, favoring coal and natural gas infrastructure. Governor Shapiro supports this buildout, including a $22 million grant for EOS. 915-930 Italian Olive Harvest and Historical Vatican-UK Royal Visit. Lorenzo Fiori reports that the olive harvest in Tuscany is expected to be low in quantity due to mosquito damage caused by humidity and rain. However, recent strong winds helped remove damaged olives, potentially ensuring a "very tasty" oil. Fiori also discusses the historical visit of King Charles III to the Vatican's Sistine Chapel to pray with Pope Francis. This event, which Fiori found spectacular, is seen as crucial for restoring dialogue between the Anglican and Catholic Churches after centuries of division. 930-945 Small Business Economy Steady; AI Remains a 'Toy'. Gene Marks reports on the small business economy, noting steady activity among machine parts manufacturers, often preparing for an "onshoring boom." Construction and housing are holding steady but anticipate a future boom as interest rates decline. Tariffs have a muted impact, often absorbed or passed on as separate invoice line items for transparency. Marks demonstrates that AI, despite its advances, is not ready for prime-time business use, failing to accurately generate a requested image of a Yorkshire Terrier hitting a home run. 945-1000 Small Business Economy Steady; AI Remains a 'Toy'.

SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Pacific Palisades Housing Dispute and West Coast Infrastructure Challenges. Jeff Bliss covers West Coast issues, including traffic disruption from new high-speed rail construction between Southern California and Las Vegas. Pacific Palisades residents are protesting state and local plans to use burned-out lots for high-density, multistory affordable housing, fearing the change in community character and increased traffic. Additionally, copper theft from EV charging stations is undermining Los Angeles's zero emissions goals. Homeless encampments are also sparking major brush fire concerns in areas like Malibu and the Sepulveda Basin. 1015-1030 Pennsylvania Pursues Data Center Hub Status, Converting Golf Courses. Jim McTague reports on Pennsylvania's effort to become a data center hub, citing over $90 billion committed investment statewide. York County secured $5 billion, with plans including converting Brierwood Golf Course into a data center. This effort faces public resistance fueled by fears of higher electricity and water prices. McTague notes that consumer spending in Lancaster County is "steady." The conversion of golf courses reflects the decline of golf, seen as a "dinosaur" activity that takes too much time. 1030-1045 Professor Epstein Slams Trump's Economic Policies as 'State Socialism'. Professor Richard Epstein analyzes four Trump administration economic decisions concerning Intel, Nvidia, US Steel, and MP Mining, labeling them forms of state-owned enterprise or "state socialism." Epstein argues that acquiring golden shares or negotiating side deals—like Nvidia paying 15% of China revenue—destroys market value, undercuts competitors, and violates the neutral application of laws. He also critiques the Gaza deal, stating Hamas must be wiped out before any subsequent phases of the agreement can proceed. 1045-1100 Professor Epstein Slams Trump's Economic Policies as 'State Socialism'.

McNamara enabled the Vietnam War escalation, notably misrepresenting the Gulf of Tonkin incidents to Congress. Despite later secretly opposing the war ("I want so badly to bring the boys home"), he remained silent due to loyalty to Johnson and the presidency. Taubman also details McNamara's role spying on the Kennedys for LBJ and his "loving" relationship with Jackie Kennedy. His post-Pentagon role at the World Bank served as a form of repentance. 1115-1130 cMcNamara at War: Loyalty, Secrets, and the Vietnam Conflict.

Will there be murderers in Celestial Kingdom? An Institute Teacher's answer challenged Sandra Tanner's faith back in the 1950s. We'll talk about this unusual case and how it contributed to Sandra joining Pauline Hancock's Basement Church (known as Church of Christ) in Independence Missouri. Check out our conversation... https://youtu.be/4c6tu0SYs6 Don't miss our other conversations with Sandra: https://gospeltangents.com/people/sandra-tanner Copyright © 2025 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved From Brigham Young Defender to Critic: Influences That Sparked Tanners' Journey The history of early Mormonism and its subsequent splinter groups is complex, but few journeys into critical thinking are as personal and profound as that of Sandra Tanner. Raised defending the faith, her path to becoming a leading critic of Mormonism was catalyzed by several unexpected influences, including the work of a pioneering female Restoration leader and the startling discovery of historical documents. The Vision of Pauline Hancock Sandra Tanner's husband, Jerald Tanner, was deeply influenced by an obscure Restoration group led by Pauline Hancock. Pauline was a head of her group, called the Church of Christ (Bible Book of Mormon), serving as its minister and preacher. Though she never claimed to be a prophet, she was considered a "deliverer of the message". Crucially, Pauline did claim to have a vision of Christ before the group started meeting as a church. This vision occurred during a transition when she was trying to sort out what she believed, focusing on the "original kernel of Mormonism". She told Christ she couldn't fulfill the calling to tell the world what she had learned because she was a woman, but Christ responded, "I was a man, and they didn't listen to me. So, it doesn't matter that you're a woman. You are called to go out and tell what you've learned". Pauline's group focused on studying the Book of Mormon outside of various splinter groups. Their theology centered on the "oneness idea of God," a modalistic model (though they would not have used the term "modalism"). They aimed for a rejuvenation of the David Whitmer flavor of Mormonism, seeking to go "back to original Mormonism" using just the Bible and Book of Mormon. Jerald Tanner's Cottage Meetings Jerald Tanner became converted to Pauline's message after two visits to Missouri. At age 20 (around 1957 or 1958), Jerald returned to Salt Lake and began holding little cottage meetings at his parents' house. He would play reel-to-reel tapes of Pauline's different sermons or teachings. The purpose of these meetings was to discuss early Mormonism and explain where the Church "went off the track". Sandra's grandmother, a relative by marriage to the Brigham Young family, received an invitation to one of these meetings via a postcard. Sandra, visiting from Southern California during spring break, drove her grandmother to the meeting. Grandmother claimed it was "sort of like a Mormon fireside". Jerald, whom she found "nice looking" and "cute," impressed her with his studies on Mormonism's problems and the group's focus on returning to the Book of Mormon. From Defense to Doubt Sandra's journey of doubt had already been seeded by others. First, her mother and aunt began studying Mormon history in the 1950s after reading Fawn Brodie's book, No Man Knows My History. They were pouring over "apostate literature" and photocopies. Sandra, then in high school, was busy defending the faith, while her mother and aunt were "going into apostasy". Sandra noted that her mother became known as being "too inquisitive" in Sunday school classes, often disrupting the class with questions. Sandra's mother and aunt found James Wardle's barbershop, possibly through Sam Weller's bookstore (which stocked anti-Mormon and polygamy literature). James Wardle was the link that put Sandra's mother in contact with Pauline Hancock's group. Second,

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has once again turned the truth on its head. In a stunning move, she’s calling for an investigation into ICE agents. She is accusing them of detaining American citizens. But here’s the reality, Bass refuses to admit these so-called “citizens” were obstructing lawful ICE operations and breaking federal law. Instead of standing with law enforcement, Bass is siding with the very people undermining our immigration system.

Maybe we’re the only believer in our family . . . or the only Christian at work . . . or the only one in our group of friends at school. The odds are against us. Well today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to one of the most encouraging stories in the Old Testament. We’ll catch up with a military leader about to fight a battle, when God told him to send most of his army home so that God alone would get credit for the victory.

The Trump administration has cut federal funding to colleges and universities it says don't align with conservative priorities. And now, the White House says it will reward schools that follow in its ideological footsteps.Earlier this month, the administration sent a list of demands to nine schools. Officials are calling it the “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education.” Its stipulations include ending considerations of race and sex in admissions and hiring, capping international student enrollment, and limiting what faculty can say about certain issues.Five institutions — Brown University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Southern California, the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Virginia — have rejected the proposal. The others have yet to comment.Trump's compact is the latest chapter in the story of how his administration is trying to exert influence over higher education. In March, the White House canceled $400 million in federal grants and contracts to Columbia University over allegations of antisemitism.In this edition of “If You Can Keep It,” our weekly series on the state of democracy, we talk about higher education and what's at stake if academic freedom is compromised.Find more of our programs online.
