In this unique episode, Kerith Overstreet of Bruliam Wines in Sonoma returns to give us an update (she was on Ep 269 in 2019). Kerith/Bruliam is a boutique producer of vineyard-designated wines, mainly of Pinot Noir and she gives us a full education on the differences between some of the main Pinot regions of California.     The cool thing about this show? The last third of the podcast is a business discussion about something she and I are always discussing – how to get our kids' generation – Gen Z – to appreciate wine. Kerith's daughter Amelia (the AM in BruliAM), a 21-year-old Gen Z'er, joins to help us analyze the situation and give some advice (she's a smart cookie and has some great insight!). For anyone who has young people in their lives and is wondering how to turn them on to wine, this should be an interesting perspective.   Photo: Kerith Overstreet in her vineyard.

Let's Chat!What if the gates to our greatest transformation don't open for the worthy, but for the willing? What if the spark we've been searching for isn't coming from above, but from the ruins beneath our feet?In this second episode of Grandeur, we follow a man's journey through a mysterious gauntlet—a metaphorical labyrinth that challenges not his strength or skill, but his willingness to face what he's been avoiding. Through encounters with shadowy figures, shifting corridors, and relics from his past, he discovers that the true test isn't about completing the gauntlet, but about staying present when every instinct screams to run.The narrative unfolds through six parts, each revealing another layer of this internal pilgrimage. We witness our protagonist confronting an unopened ring box, an unspoken proposal, and the grief of losing someone before saying what needed to be said. As he moves through each challenge, a profound truth emerges: "He who waits for proof forfeits power."This episode speaks directly to those of us caught in patterns of avoidance, those waiting for permission or certainty before taking action in our lives. Through rich symbolism and evocative storytelling, we're invited to consider what we've been carrying, what we've been running from, and what gates might open if we simply chose to stay present with our pain rather than outrunning it.The journey culminates in the understanding that transformation begins not when we gain something, but when we lose the need to prove anything. The spark—that elusive catalyst for change we've been searching for—was never going to come from external validation. It comes from the decision to stop running, to build our own fire, with the match that was always in our pocket.Join me for this soul-stirring exploration of grief, acceptance, and the courage to face ourselves.

Last week, President Donald Trump announced America's AI action plan, emphasizing that the country must not allow China or any other nation to surpass it. The plan consists of three key components: accelerating innovation, building data centers and other artificial intelligence infrastructure, and leading in international diplomacy and security. Congressman Jay Obernolte (R-CA), co-chair of the U.S. Congressional Artificial Intelligence Task Force, joins the discussion to explore the framework and how the U.S. can win the AI race. The U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HHS) recently reviewed over 350 organ transplant cases managed by Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates, which is now called Network for Hope, and found a disturbing trend. The report shows one hundred cases having what they called "concerning features," including examples of donors still showing neurological signs, and entailing that an organ procurement processes began for patients before they were officially declared deceased. The chief of the Health Resources and Services Administration's organ transplant branch, Dr. Raymond Lynch, joins the podcast to discuss the report and how they are correcting specific organ transplant procedures.

What really makes for lasting love and deep intimacy—whether in marriage or in our relationship with God? In this episode, Dr. Greg explains why the “spark” isn't the true measure of a healthy sex life and how intentional, self-giving love leads to deeper joy. Drawing on wisdom from St. John Paul II and modern research, he offers a fresh perspective on love, marriage, and the spiritual life.   Key Topics: Why “the spark” of spontaneous desire isn't the gold standard for lasting intimacy The difference between desire and pleasure in a healthy sex life What research reveals about spontaneous vs. responsive desire The connection between conjugal love and spiritual growth How anxiety and anticipation can hinder authentic pleasure Practical ways to move from fleeting desire to intentional, self-giving love St. John Paul II's insights on love, desire, and the human person Learn More: Article on the “Desire Imperative” – a secular perspective on the difference between spontaneous desire (“the spark”) and responsive desire Love and Responsibility by St. John Paul II – timeless wisdom on love, desire, and the human person Blog: Prioritizing Daily Life: The Power of Boundaries – practical ways to create space for prayer and what matters most Podcast Episode #189: Social Sabbatical – learning the rhythm of silence and a deeper cadence of prayer Discernment of Spirits – understanding how to recognize God's voice in your life Catholic Mindfulness – training your mind for peace Need help?

If there's a topic that you are not likely to find any consensus about in the orthodontic world, it's which clear aligner to use in your practice.Perhaps the reason for this is because, as clinicians, we want to be the best at what we do and what we use, and in the process, we get very attached to one aligner over the other. In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Bill Dischinger and Dr. Trevor Nichols to talk everything about clear aligners. They are key opinion leaders for Spark, but if you know anything about these two gentlemen, you know that this won't make a difference in their opinion about this topic. But one point we all emphasize in this episode that should guide all orthodontists is that we are not in the teeth business but in the people business.We must be ready to embrace whatever technology or product that will help deliver excellent clinical outcomes to our patients with fewer visits and lesser time. Tune In!Key TakeawaysIntro to Dr. Bill Dischinger and Dr. Trevor Nichols (00:32)Spark vs Invisalign aligners (09:53)Aligners and brackets (16:24)Treating severe cases with aligners (19:54)Where Spark excels (21:54)Finishing cases with Spark (28:44)Having aligner days in your practice (37:11)How aligners and DentalMonitoring saves time for doctors and patients (41:42)The fallacy that exists among orthodontists (44:32)The why of orthodontics (48:36)“With Dental Monitoring, we're delivering better care than we ever have. We see these patients on a weekly basis. And if you don't know how Dental Monitoring works, I would really encourage you to find out. It has changed my life.” Dr. Bill Dischinger “There's this fallacy among orthodontists, and I don't know why, that we need to see patients more rather than less.” Dr. Glenn Krieger “We're not in the teeth business, we're in the people business.” Dr. Trevor NicholsAdditional ResourcesWant to connect with orthodontists who believe in lifting each other up?Come to the final Orthopreneurs Summit in Las Vegas this September.

In today's show, Chris Lievense, high school social studies teacher in Vermont and Kelly Junno 3rd grade teacher in Western Massachusetts, and Spark faculty, share with us their insights from the 2025 Socialism conference in Chicago and how those lessons are applicable to their work as K-16 educators. A major theme Kelly and Chris found at the conference was, how does the progressive left recapture the narrative. Fascist can't win unless they capture education and the narratives around it that normalize injustice. How does the progressive left ask for the unimaginable. How do we ask for a better world that we don't have prisons that we don't spend billions of dollars and billions of lives to have them and instead ask for what are the kinds of care we need and what are the things that we need to meet at minimum the basic needs for people: food, clothing, shelter, health, education, transportation. How do we bring the majority of people in the United States along with the possibilities of abolition. Most Americans can't imagine an abolitionist society. How do we as educators change the conversation which then changes the narrative around this and make it imaginable? Most importantly that Capitalism can't solve capitalism

Navigating Industry Volatility: How Insurance Agents Can Thrive in a Changing Medicare LandscapeThe latest episode of the Insurance Business Babes podcast brings together host Kathe Kline, co-host Joanna Wyckoff, and industry powerhouse Neil Reich for an honest discussion of the current turbulence in the Medicare insurance world. With plan exits, shrinking commissions, regulatory uncertainties, and unprecedented price hikes, agents must now adapt, diversify, and deepen relationships to stay successful.Industry Upheaval: What's Changing in Medicare AdvantageAccording to guest Neil Reich, the past year has brought volatility unlike anything he's seen in his 27-year career. Major Medicare Advantage carriers like Humana and Aetna have pulled out of some markets due to soaring medical loss ratios, leaving consumers scrambling for alternatives and further concentrating business among remaining giants like United. Commission structures are shifting, and the legal landscape is uncertain, with the Department of Justice and new CMS rules causing ongoing anxiety about the future of FMOs (Field Marketing Organizations).Diversification Is EssentialNeil isn't deterred by the disruption—instead, he emphasizes the need for insurance agents to diversify their offerings. His new agency, Care Connect Advisors, has quickly added Medicare Supplement plans, Index Universal Life, final expense, hospital indemnity (with popular guaranteed-issue options for ages 64-70), cancer, dental, and even annuities to the product mix. This mirrors Kathe and Joanna's advice that now, more than ever, agents should be “multi-product” — cross-selling to better serve clients and protect their own earnings in the face of shrinking Medicare Advantage opportunities.Relationship Building and Technology: The Agent's GoldmineStaying connected to clients is a major theme. The podcast highlights how agents are successfully blending manual outreach (calls and texts to educate and cross-sell) with automation (drip campaigns, retention videos, and CRM tools). Touchpoints aren't just for selling—they reinforce trust, increase retention, and open natural conversations about needs like hospital indemnity or annuities.The Path Ahead: AI, FMOs, and the Advisor MindsetWhile regulators mull the impact of overrides and marketing practices, agents are also looking to the future with AI poised to disrupt the sales process. Still, both Neil and the hosts remain optimistic: FMOs like Spark are evolving, offering powerful tech and support. The key message? Agents must evolve from “order takers” to true advisors—guiding clients comprehensively through industry changes and personalized solutions.In summary, claim your power as an agent by diversifying your product line, leveraging smart tech, nurturing relationships, and embracing your advisory role. In a shifting Medicare world, these strategies are more essential—and more rewarding—than ever.This episode is sponsored by ⁠CertifiedMedicareAgents.com⁠.

The wonderful experience I had with my Colorado grands in the summer of 2012 is too long for one article, so I am breaking it into two parts. When we had this adventure, Ashley was eight, Lizzy was six, and their little brother, Parker, was three. I asked Lizzy and Ashley if they wanted to help me put some family mementoes into my hutch. It was fun work and led the girls on our chemistry adventure because of something this job sparked in them. This was such a fun experience, I know you will enjoy hearing about it and possibly doing something similar with your children or grands. They will learn a lot and you will make a marvelous memory.

I caught up with Comfort Ero at the Aspen Security Forum last week. She is the President of the International Crisis Group, and in that role, she brings a truly global perspective on the drivers of conflict worldwide. Earlier in the forum, she participated in a panel on international aid—timely, given the massive scaling back of foreign assistance by the Trump administration and other traditional donors in Europe. So, for most of this conversation, we explore the implications of this sudden retraction of foreign aid on regional and global security—that is, how might these aid cuts impact conflict dynamics around the world?

What do you really want right now? No, not what you “should” want... not what's practical or expected. What do you crave? What makes you feel alive?In the fourth episode of the Reinvention Series, we're diving deep into something many midlife women quietly wrestle with but rarely talk about: desire. Not just sexual desire (though that's part of it), but the deeper, richer kind—the desire for vitality, pleasure, creativity, connection, and aliveness.If you've ever said “I feel numb,” “I've lost my spark,” or “Is this all there is?”—this conversation is for you. We're unpacking why desire often fades in midlife (spoiler alert: it's not your fault), how to recognize its quiet whispers, and how to start reclaiming it—one small, soul-honoring choice at a time.✨ Grab your FREE Companion Workbook: "Becoming Her: A Midlife Reinvention Starter Kit" HERE.Send a Text Message :)

Send us a textWe interviewed Penn Cole, we took a deep dive into Spark and Glow of the Everflame, and today we're continuing on with our deep dive into book 3: Heat of the Everflame. With the first fifteen minutes being spoiler free, and including our basic star and spice ratings! Check out our full Kindred's Curse Saga Playlist | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=103nCXINMP4&list=PLHf5v0KOoZMmK0bBoRxZWmqNtG88fxs4v&pp=gAQBAt this point, we're taking the time needed to deep dive some conspiracy theories and speculate as to how this series may end. Honestly, we can't even imagine how Penn Cole is going to tie up all these loose ends, especially with Heat ending in the epic way it did… on a cliffhanger like no other. Diem continues to break away from more common fantasy conventions and tropes by embodying feminist themes focused on ruling with non-violence, even when presented with immense power. We discuss why this is important, and why having an MMC like Luther who continues to support her, but must now make some impossible choices may challenge some of the more alternative themes we've grown to appreciate from this series. We break down our favorite and least favorite parts, tropes, and characters, share reviews, and discuss whether or not we're looking forward to reading the final book. And dive into the web of secrets that we feel like we (and Diem) are just now beginning to unravel. As usual, we have some extra treats, starting out with a Labubu and bruised pinky themed fave and fail and a smash or pass fantasy daddy / bad boy fish edition.Don't be shy, subscribe!
