A former Starbucks shift supervisor in Clovis is suing the coffee giant after he was fired when managers learned he was a registered sex offender. The lawsuit claims Starbucks knew about his conviction when it hired him in 2017 and kept him employed for eight years with no disciplinary issues. His lawsuit claims the firing violated California’s Fair Chance Act, which limits how employers can use criminal history. Starbucks says the claims are without merit and plans to fight the case.

In todays episode, Im talking about our food routine, and why many patients with conditions like PCOS, diabetes, heart disease, or Parkinson's are rarely told by doctors to adjust what they eat. I share an example of how a patient with hormone dysfunction was never advised to cut daily Starbucks drinks or replace cereal, lattes, and Lunchables with real food. Food is medication and one meal matters, even if you mess up, you can still show up for the next "play."

On this episode of ABL Live, we're talking about the ongoing Iranian conflict including the newly-appointed Supreme Leader being missing from the public eye, the shooting at Old Dominion University of a beloved ROTC professor by an Islamic extremist, Starbucks possibly leaving Seattle for Tennessee as their former CEO moves to Florida, NYC becoming more unaffordable every day, and much more!

And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters,” Karp said in a CNBC interview Thursday. “And so these disruptions are gonna disrupt every aspect of our society.

Hi! Dies ist eine kleine Ansage, also komme ich gleich zum Punkt: German Stories PLUS ist online!   „Was ist das?”, fragst du? Tja, hier kommt meine Erklärung. Bisher konnte man diesen Podcast nur werbefrei hören, wenn man ein iPhone hatte und die Apple Podcasts App benutzt hat, oder wenn man ein Abonnement für german-stories.com hatte. Aber ich habe jetzt beschlossen allen meinen Zuhörern, auch denjenigen, die ein Android Handy haben, Zugang zu werbefreien Episoden zu verschaffen.   Was ist überhaupt Werbung? Tja, wenn ich das Abonnement auf german-stories.com anpreise, dann ist das Werbung. Eigenwerbung, um genau zu sein. Wenn der Podcast plötzlich stoppt, und eine andere Stimme in einer anderen Sprache über eine Versicherung oder über den neuen Ford Pickup Truck spricht, dann ist das auch Werbung. Nur eben keine Eigenwerbung.   Jetzt gibt es diese Podcast-Episoden auch ohne Werbung, für alle Zuhörer und Zuhörerinnen, auf allen wichtigen Podcast-Apps, nicht nur Apple Podcasts. Gehe dazu einfach auf german-stories.supercast.com – dort kannst du German Stories PLUS bekommen: Höre alle Episoden von German Stories ohne Werbung und unterstütze diesen Podcast. Der Link ist auch in den Show Notes.   Für weniger Geld als ein Starbucks Kaffe kostet kannst du hier ein Abonnement abschließen. Dann kannst du direkt deine Podcast-App verbinden, sodass du in deiner gewohnten App zukünftig alle German Stories-Episoden ohne Werbung hören kannst. Also, ganz wichtig: Du musst deine Podcast-App nicht wechseln!   Das funktioniert für Apple Podcasts, YouTube Music, Spotify, Castro, Downcast, Overcast, Pocket Casts, Podcast Addict, Podcast Republic, Podkicker und RSS Studio. Aber es funktioniert auch in allen anderen Apps, denn sie geben dir auch einen RSS-Link, den du unkompliziert in deine Podcast-App einfügen kannst. Alles ganz einfach auf german-stories.supercast.com machbar. Es gibt auch einen freundlichen Kundenservice, der dir weiterhilft, falls du stecken bleibst.   Hier ist der Deal in Stichpunkten: Alle Episoden für dich keine automatische Werbung keine Eigenwerbung Unterstütze den Podcast Der German Stories Podcast wird auch normal weiter gehen und alle normalen Episoden werden weiterhin kostenlos sein. Nur eben mit Werbung und ohne uns direkt zu unterstützen.   Jetzt denkst du vielleicht, „wo ist denn der Unterschied zwischen German Stories PLUS und dem Abo auf german-stories.com?” Hier die Erklärung: 1. Abo/Mitgliedschaft für german-stories.com Ein umfassender Online-Kurs Online-Übungen, klickbare Dialoge, digitale Vokabelkarten, Extra-Audios, werbefreie Podcast-Episoden, ... Erfordert deine volle Aufmerksamkeit 2. German Stories PLUS Werbefreie Podcast-Episoden Unterstütze den Podcast Kannst du einfach nebenbei machen (beim Autofahren, Joggen, Abwaschen, wenn deine Schwiegermutter oder Freundin zu viel redet, wenn die Nachbarskinder ein Schlagzeug bekommen haben, wenn der Paketbote zum fünften Mal klingelt, wenn die Vorlesung in der Uni zu langweilig ist, ...) Hier ist nochmal der Link: german-stories.supercast.com Vielen Dank!       Übersetzung: Hi! This is a quick announcement, so I'll get straight to the point: German Stories PLUS is now online!   "What's that?" you ask? Well, here's my explanation. Until now, you could only listen to this podcast ad-free if you had an iPhone and used the Apple Podcasts app, or if you had a subscription to german-stories.com. But I've now decided to give all my listeners, including those with Android phones, access to ad-free episodes.   What even is advertising? Well, if I'm promoting the subscription for german-stories.com, that's advertising. A self-ad, to be precise. If the podcast suddenly stops and a different voice talks in a different language about insurance or the new Ford pickup truck, that's also advertising. Just not a self-ad.   These podcast episodes are now available ad-free for all listeners on all major podcast apps, not just Apple Podcasts. Simply go to german-stories.supercast.com – there you can get German Stories PLUS: Listen to all German Stories episodes without ads and support this podcast.

Washington State's recent implementation of a 9.9 percent tax on millionaires is already causing ripples throughout the business community. Starbucks founder Howard Schultz has announced his departure from Seattle, sparking concerns about a potential exodus of high-net-worth individuals and businesses from the state. Critics argue that this tax policy will stifle economic growth, discourage investment, and ultimately harm Washington's overall prosperity. The move raises questions about the long-term consequences of progressive taxation and its impact on the state's economic future, particularly in cities like Seattle that rely heavily on a thriving business environment. Will Washington become a cautionary tale of wealth flight?

In this episode of Capital for Good we speak with Mellody Hobson, one of the country's preeminent investors and business and civic leaders. Hobson is the co-CEO of Ariel Investments, a board director of several Fortune 500 companies and nonprofit organizations, and a nationally recognized advocate for financial literacy and economic inclusion. We begin with a discussion of the formative childhood experiences that would shape Hobson's personal and professional trajectory. Hobson recalls how, as a young girl on the South Side of Chicago who regularly experienced economic insecurity, she was driven to work very hard and "to understand money" as a path to economic security for herself and for others. "My purpose was sealed very early," she says.  After graduating from Princeton in 1991, Hobson joined the Chicago-based Ariel Investments. In the thirty-five years since, she has traveled from intern to co-CEO, building a $14 billion asset management firm with a mission to "transform the lives of everyone who entrusts us with their financial futures."  Hobson walks us through her evolution as a leader, and describes Ariel's signature approach to long-term investing in companies and sectors that are "misunderstood, ignored and underfollowed," where vigorous and original research allows the team to identify mispriced securities and the opportunity to outperform. According to Hobson, Ariel's success has derived from the principles and practices of active patience ("being patient is really hard, it requires great restraint, great study, great discipline"), bold teamwork, and independent thinking – the focused expertise that supports the "conviction to have a different opinion." This approach made Ariel a pioneer, first in small cap stocks, where the firm's founder John Rogers tested the long-term value investment thesis, and later in mid cap and international markets. In 2021, Hobson launched Ariel Alternatives, which included its inaugural private equity fund, Project Black, focused on building to scale minority businesses that will be tier one suppliers to Fortune 500 companies, and Project Level, a new vehicle focused on "changing the game" in women's sports. Given the seismic and secular shifts in the industry, Hobson believes women's sports are "the next big growth opportunity… the small cap of sports." Hobson speaks passionately about all she has learned as a corporate director. Today, she serves on the board of JP Morgan Chase, and was a director of Estée Lauder Companies, DreamWorks Animation, and Starbucks, which she led as chair. She is equally animated by her civic commitments, learning early on it was "part of your job to be of service to others… it was sewn into my DNA." We discuss the inspiration she finds in her work with a number of nonprofit organizations, including After School Matters, Bloomberg Philanthropies, and the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, a new cultural institution she has created with her husband and filmmaker George Lucas. Hobson is fervent about the power of storytelling, and her and Lucas's belief that "everyone's story matters." Hobson has captured part of her own story in the New York bestselling Priceless Facts about Money, an immaculately researched and illustrated children's book that makes learning about money and finance accessible — and fun. And it is in young people that Hobson sees hope, even in challenging times, as they affirm her faith in the wonder and promise of human potential. "If you believe that is true," she says, "then everything is possible. Not anything — everything." Mentioned in this episode John W. Rogers, Jr., Ariel Founder, Chairman, and Co-CEO A Random Walk Down Wall Street (Burton Malkiel, 2024) Ariel Alternatives: Project Black, Project Level After School Matters Bloomberg Philanthropies Lucas Museum of Narrative Art Priceless Facts about Money (Mellody Hobson, 2024)

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they watch lefty businesses and business owners flee blue states for red states, oil tanker traffic grinding to a trickle in the Persian Gulf, and CPAC still welcoming the likes of Steve Bannon.First, they react to the news that Starbucks is moving part of its corporate headquarters to Tennessee, a state with no income tax, and hinting that more of its corporate structure could follow. The coffee giant is currently based in Washington state, which just approved a major tax hike on higher-income households. The blue state economic fantasy runs into reality yet again.Next, they're frustrated by Iran's ongoing ability to stop most oil tankers from exiting the Persian Gulf. Jim explains how Iran is able to harass so many vessels despite its navy being so badly depleted and what the U.S. Navy can do to counteract Iran.Finally, they groan over the news that CPAC has invited Steve Bannon to speak at its conference later this month.

Late Night talk shows are a unique art form that started with Jack Paar, Steve Allen, Johnny Carson and then continues today in whatever form it's in. But what made Carson special was because you got to see actors who weren't out there with the internet and take a look into their personal lives. In this episode, Jason Alexander and Peter Tilden sit down with Mark Malkoff, comedian and author of the book, Love Johnny Carson: One Obsessive Fan's Journey to Find the Genius Behind the Legend, and host of The Carson Podcast. Max will entertain us with several interesting stories about Carson and his time as the king of Late Night. Since Max is a also a self described "huge comedy nerd", Jason and Peter will get to share their stories about Carson and answer Max's questions about Jason's own late night appearances. This includes Jason's first time on Carson, being on both Letterman and Leno's shows, his experience with Craig Ferguson and his filling in for Jon Lovitz last minute on Conan O'Brien's test show. Something else you should know about Max; outside of being an author on comedy, Max has become well known for pulling off some incredible public stunts. These range from asking random New Yorkers to carry him to visiting 171 Starbucks to living in an Ikea to bringing a goat into an Apple Store. Of course we'll have a lot of questions.

Starbucks is shuttering five more locations in Seattle, including one at Seattle Children's Hospital, as CEO Brian Niccol continues his overhaul of the company. Union organizers are criticizing the move, claiming Starbucks is 'failing' its hometown. These closures, set to take effect in early April 2026, follow corporate layoffs in late 2025. The closures raise concerns about the economic health of Seattle and the future of Starbucks' presence in its birthplace. Is this a strategic move or a sign of deeper problems within the coffee giant? We'll delve into the potential reasons behind these closures and what they mean for Seattle's economy and Starbucks' brand.

FULL STREAM 3-6-2026 1569 LONDINIUM In this broadcast, host John Batchelor is joined by guests Jeff Bliss of "Pacific Watch" and Germanicus (Michael Vlahos). Jeff Bliss details a West Coast in transition, beginning with Las Vegas, which is rebuilding through massive infrastructure projects like the Bright Line high-speed rail and the Boring Company. He contrasts the privately-financed Bright Line with California's state-run rail project, labeling the latter a $110 billion "money sink" that has failed to lay any track. Bliss's recent travels highlight a broader urban decline, describing Portland and Reno as "ghost towns" and documenting a harrowing fentanyl crisis in Sacramento right outside the state capital. He notes that despite $28 billion being allotted for homelessness, California's "Care Court" has only treated 22 people, while refinery closures and high taxes push gas prices toward $5-$8 per gallon. This economic pressure is driving a corporate exodus of pillars like Starbucks and Amazon to business-friendly states like Tennessee. (1)Shifting to international affairs, Germanicus examines the unfolding war with Iran, noting that the U.S. administration has invoked a "sacred narrative" to justify the conflict as a divinely sanctioned mission to punish "demonic forces". However, he warns of growing fissures in the U.S.-Israeli alliance. While the U.S. frames the war as one of liberation for the Persian people, Israel's objective is the existential destruction of Iran as a regional power. These divergent goals, Germanicus predicts, will create severe strategic tension as the conflict intensifies. (2)3-
