V bonusovém dílu Hlasů paměti o Státní bezpečnosti a jejich spolupracovnících vypráví autoři příběh Jaromíra Ulče. Od 70. let vyvíjel operace, lámal a verboval spolupracovníky StB. Nikdy, ani po sametové revoluci, ale nepochyboval o tom, že to co dělal, bylo správné. Naopak. Podle něj to byla zajímavá práce a navíc ho psychicky uspokojovalo, když z lidí dostal to, co chtěl slyšet. Poslechněte si jeho příběh.

Welcome to episode 300! I couldn't let this milestone pass without addressing something really important: what it means to be a woman in business today, and why the spaces we create matter. There's been a lot of noise in Australia and around the world about whether we, as women, should be able to have our own spaces - whether that's business events, support groups, awards, or even shelters. With conversations heating up everywhere from Parliament to social media, I wanted to bring it here to our community, because helping women succeed is why I started this podcast in the first place. Today, I'm sharing why female-only spaces matter to me both personally and professionally. I also touch on how changes to the law have taken away our ability to define and protect these spaces, and what that means for women in business. This is a real-world look at what we're experiencing right now, why it matters, and how we can stand up for our rights without losing our sense of acceptance and inclusion. Here's what I cover in this episode: Why are we talking so much about women-only spaces? What's changed in our laws and why does it matter for us in business? What impact does removing the legal definition of “female” or “woman” actually have on our everyday lives, our safety, and our opportunities? How do gender gaps in leadership, pay, and funding still show up for women entrepreneurs, and what are we doing to close them? Why does having the option for female-only networks, support groups, and business programs matter for women's confidence, safety, and growth? This is a conversation about our rights, our experiences, and our future. If you've ever wondered why these issues spark such strong opinions, or how they could affect your own journey, you'll want to listen in. I'm so glad to have you with me for episode 300! ……………………………………… Are you a woman in business? YOU'RE INVITED!

In this episode, we kick things off on the rails, where a powerful House committee is backing strict scrutiny for the proposed Union Pacific-Southern Pacific merger. The bipartisan House Appropriations Committee added language to the fiscal 2027 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations bill during markup on June 2nd, urging the Surface Transportation Board to conduct a rigorous review of the $72 billion deal that would create the first all-freight transcontinental railroad. The committee specifically endorsed the STB's revised 2001 merger rules, which require applicants to not only preserve rail-to-rail competition but offer enhanced competitive options for railroad shippers. Meanwhile, in the cargo security sector, federal prosecutors have indicted eight individuals in what they allege was a massive carrier impersonation scheme targeting shipments moving through logistics facilities in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia between October 2025 and April 2026. Prosecutors allege the group stole approximately $4.49 million worth of products, including lamb, cheese, beef, copper and cigarettes, by obtaining legitimate carrier information and using it to impersonate those carriers at pickup locations with matching carrier names, MC numbers and DOT numbers on their tractor-trailers. Finally, we explore how FedEx is teaming up with a major Chinese carrier to strengthen its air logistics footprint in Asia. FedEx Corp. and the air cargo arm of China Southern Airlines signed a memorandum of understanding in Guangzhou, agreeing to strategically collaborate on ways to improve the efficiency and service capabilities of their air logistics networks. Under the agreement, the companies will explore cooperation opportunities in several areas, including capacity sharing, routes, hub connections, network planning, fleet resources, ground operations and digitalization.

Prakticky nemohoucí stará žena byla ubita kladivem večer před podpisem závěti. Že je vrahem někdo z rodiny, bylo jisté téměř od začátku. Ale kdo, to se vyšetřovatelé snažili dokázat dlouhých 16 let. Jde o případ neuvěřitelně zpackaného vyšetřování, na kterém se podepsaly tragické časy protektorátu i 50. let minulého století. Nakonec v souvislosti s touto vraždou zemře dalších sedm lidí, jeden pes a zaplete se do ní StB i sama Komunistická strana Československa.

This is the story of how an old identity that I thought I had left behind, was still hiding in the background, holding me back, and slowly breaking apart my business! This week, I'm opening up about a very personal journey, one that took me right back to my old “corporate Jess” identity and showed me how she had quietly lingered behind the scenes, influencing my decisions and keeping my business from being fully aligned with who I am today. As women in our 40s and 50s we've experienced many identity shifts during our life: from child to teen, to adult, employee, and now entrepreneur. Add in wife, mother and other hats we might have worn and there's a lot of past and present 'selves' who each learned ways to be 'safe' and formed beliefs about what success really means. And, sometimes the ones we thought we'd left behind are still there, shaping our choices in ways we don't notice until something finally drops into your awareness and you see the pattern. In this episode, I'm sharing how uncovering one of my past identities gave me insights that changed everything about how I was seeing my business and finally helped me make decisions that were aligned to my current and future self - not tied to the past! If you've ever second-guessed whether old habits or mindsets from a past life might be playing a bigger part in your journey than you wish, I encourage you to listen in. Here's what you'll hear me explore: Why does transitioning from a long-standing career to entrepreneurship often feel unsettling, even when it's what we want? What are the subtle signals that some old beliefs or parts of your past self might still be influencing your choices as a business owner? How did I finally spot the hidden brakes that “corporate Jess” was putting on my business, and what did I do to shift out of those patterns? Why letting go of an outdated identity might be the most empowering move you make for your business and your personal life. How can you begin to step fully into the expert role that's truly yours, and find a way to build your business so it supports both your ambition and your lifestyle? Ready for some real talk and maybe a few lightbulb moments? Tune in to this week's episode and let's figure it out together. ………………………………………… Are you a woman in business? YOU'RE INVITED!

Historik a poslanec Pavel Žáček je v dvojjediné roli – člověka, který se odborně specializuje na druhý a třetí odboj a současně svými postoji politiku aktivně vytváří. Události nedávných dnů spojené s protesty proti konání Sudetoněmeckých dnů v Brně ukázaly, že ideologicky zjednodušené debaty spojené s druhou světovou válkou jen tak neskončí.V tomto rozhovoru jsme se pokusili narušit některé převládající stereotypy týkající se druhého československého odboje, krachu spolupráce některých sudetoněmeckých politiků s exilovou vládou Edvarda Beneše v Londýně za druhé světové války, ale také verbování agentů z řad sudetských Němců do českých zpravodajských služeb či poválečné akce Černé jezero, kdy se StB a KGB pokoušely zdiskreditovat prostřednictvím nastrčených dokumentů některé německé politiky.Pavel Žáček také na základě studia depeší mezi exilovou vládou v Londýně a domácím odbojem popisuje průběh atentátu na zastupujícího říšského protektora Heydricha. Mluvíme také o rezidentuře KGB, která se tu vytvářela téměř sto let, o tom, co tito lidé dnes dělají, a proč vládním poslancům vadí paragraf trestního zákona o spolupráci s cizí mocí.

An investigation into fertilizer price spikes is underway according to FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin tells Agri-Pulse researchers will "follow the science" in its review of the safety of glyphosate without bias. The STB has unanimously accepted a revised merger application between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern. 

CELÝ ROZHOVOR V DÉLCE 106 MIN. JEN NA ⁠HTTPS://HEROHERO.CO/CESTMIR⁠⁠⁠⁠ A ⁠HTTPS://FORENDORS.CZ/CESTMIR „Čím víc se do toho člověk ponoří, tím horší věci najde na všech možných stranách,“ říká šéfredaktor Reflexu Martin Bartkovský o současné politice. Štve ho podle něj hlavně to, že se debata nevede o řešeních, ale o zástupných tématech. „Bavíme se o vlastně hrozně nepodstatných věcech,“ říká a dodává, že by si přál, aby se politika vrátila ke konkrétním věcem, které chtějí politici dělat. Marie Bastlová ze Seznam Zpráv ale připomíná, že zástupná témata byla v politice vždycky, protože jsou zábavnější, víc klikací a přitahují více pozornosti. V rozhovoru mluví i o tom, proč má podle ní smysl zvát do studia i politiky, kteří pak mohou působit nekompetentně nebo směšně. „Chceme ukázat, kdo nám vládne,“ říká Bastlová a vysvětluje, že když vládní špičky do rozhovorů nechodí, je důležité ptát se alespoň lidí, kteří tvoří vládní většinu. Bartkovský k tomu dodává, že nejde o legraci, protože i zdánlivě bizarní poslanci mají reálnou moc ovlivňovat životy úplně každého z nás. Oba mluví i o Andreji Babišovi a o tom, zda je slabý premiér, nebo mu současný chaos naopak vyhovuje. „Andrej Babiš dobře ví, co dělá. Dělá to úplně úmyslně,“ říká Bastlová a dodává, že spousta přestřelek a kauz mu podle ní vyhovuje, protože se pak neřeší jiné věci. Podstatné jsou podle ní změny pravidel, které mohou vypadat technicky a nudně, ale ve výsledku docela mění způsob vlády nad zemí. Jde podle ní o větší moc a o její snazší výkon té větší moci. Bartkovský varuje před zákony, které podle něj mohou znamenat prolamování advokátního tajemství nebo budování „ekonomické StB“. „To fakt není sranda,“ říká. Zároveň ale odmítá, že by za vším musel být hluboký plán. „Za většinou těch věcí není žádný hlubší smysl. Je to jenom shit show, kterou sledujeme,“ říká. Bastlová upozorňuje i na práci se strachem a negativní náladou. „Tyhle démoni jsou přece vždycky nebezpeční,“ říká a dodává, že se s nimi v kampani pracuje snáz. Mluví se i o veřejnoprávních médiích, Václavu Moravcovi, slabinách opozice a Petru Pavlovi jako možné protiváze vlády. Co všechno se podle nich děje za „pěnou dní“? Proč je pro novináře čím dál těžší dostat politiky k odpovědím? A kdo by mohl být kandidátem ANO na prezidenta? I to se dozvíte v rozhovoru.

Ever considered that your business could be a valuable asset you can sell later on? Yes, even if YOU are the face of the brand! When you have a business you can run without it running you into the ground, it's got value that others want. Today, I'm chatting with Laurie Stirling, a business exit strategist with over 20 years of entrepreneurial experience! From starting a graphic design business from the ground up, to going through a tricky sale, she now helps others avoid the same traps, Laurie shares her experience that shows why most businesses never sell, why freedom should be designed in from the start, and what really makes your business valuable beyond revenue. Here's a taste of what we tackled in this episode: Why is building a business that runs without you so important? Explore what makes a business actually valuable and saleable, and why most founders unintentionally build themselves into a corner. What do you need to consider if you're the ‘rock star' or personal brand of your business? We look at what it takes to turn your expertise into assets, so your impact and income aren't tied just to your own time. How can you hand over responsibilities without becoming the bottleneck? Laurie shares practical strategies for delegating tasks (and decisions), and why letting go is just as much about mindset as systems. What are the biggest bottlenecks holding women founders back from real freedom? Listen out for the five common bottlenecks, and how to spot which one is capping your growth. Ready to get practical and start working on a business that truly gives you choices? Tune in to this episode, and don't forget to try Laurie's “what's your bottleneck?” quiz – and connect with us on socials to let us know your biggest takeaway!

Every six months, it feels like the coaching world lights up with debates about what really makes someone a credible coach. As someone who's worked in this field for a decade, I've seen all sorts of arguments, some measured and helpful, most just a noisy rant. Each time you see these kind of posts, it can make you stop and start questioning yourself. Should you call yourself a coach or choose something that seems less controversial? Maybe you wonder which credentials are really most important, qualifications or results... ? I find it really curious that the MOST important indicator that a coach is credible and delivers high quality isn't even mentioned in those ranting posts! So let's talk about it. There's ONE piece of proof you should always look for before you decide whether someone's coaching is worth your time (or money). Here's a taste of what you'll take away: How to spot the real signs of a coach who can genuinely help you move forward, instead of just talking a good game. Why copying someone else's “formula” rarely leads to success, and what to look for instead. The number one metric you should be looking for if you want to know a coach is truly credible - this one is non-negotiable. If you're ready to stop second-guessing your decisions and want to know the questions you really should be asking, this episode is for you.

Ever wondered why some businesses seem to pull in the perfect clients with almost no effort, while others stay stuck, spinning their wheels? In today's episode, I'm sharing the three must-know insights about your ideal client that could be the missing ingredient in your business. If you've ever felt like your message isn't quite landing, or you're attracting clients that drain your energy instead of lighting you up, stay with me—this chat could be a game-changer. I've been where you are—juggling work, motherhood, and the dream of growing a business that allows you time and freedom. Over the years, I've seen a pattern: the most successful female entrepreneurs aren't just experts in what they do—they're utterly clear on exactly who they're here to help. In this episode, I'm unpacking the three powerful questions most people overlook, but which make all the difference when you want to really connect with your audience. Here's a taste of what I'll be asking—and why you'll want to tune in: Why is it so important to know what your dream clients themselves think their real problem is? (Hint: It's usually not what you think.) What do your clients truly want—beyond vague goals like “more clients” or “success”? I'll show you how to get specific and why that matters. How can you spot the difference between what your clients know they need help with, and the things they don't even realise yet? This is where your messaging really starts to connect. What simple tool have I used, and how can you quickly build a human, relatable client profile that makes writing content a breeze? If you're tired of guessing what to say, or you've tried all the posting and still feel invisible, this episode is for you. Let's make marketing feel simple (and effective) again.

Episode 575 - Abe Goldstein & Dave Sakolsky, Concordance Ferments Happy Monday, Thieves! We're doing a bit of a flip from last week when Augie was off on his bike in Spain and Kennedy, Casse, and Holl held down the fort. This week, Augie's cruising mostly solo to talk to Abe & Dave of Hatboro, PA's Concordance Ferments. They talk some kitchen ferment geekery before getting into beer eventually. Great listen, tune in and let us know what you think!***As always, you can email your questions, complaints, whimpers, or whines to us at stealthisbeerpodcast@gmail.com.

What is up everybody, welcome back to What the Truck?!? The freight recession is officially over as demand builds into the summer, but a tightening market means the old procurement playbook is completely broken. In this episode of WTT for May 1, 2026 , we sit down with Ciaran Doherty, Founder and CEO of Loadar, to expose a hard truth: the era of shipper leverage is ending. He breaks down why traditional RFP cycles are failing in a tight market and how capacity exiting and rising fuel costs are forcing a massive shift. If you are a shipper still relying on a loose-market strategy, you are going to bleed cash. Then, we uncover the silent margin killer draining fleets dry: bad routing. Ronak Amin from HERE Technologies drops in to reveal how static maps and inefficient routes are causing extra miles, wasted fuel, and blown ETAs. He brings the math to prove it, including a real-world example of how a 200-van fleet in Chicago could uncover nearly $100,000 in potential savings just by optimizing their location data. Plus, we are diving into the latest industry headlines:• The FBI is late to the cargo theft epidemic, but the industry isn't.• A Kentucky congressman is pushing the FAA to permanently shut down MD-11 aircraft.• The STB chairman and industry leaders headline the Future of Rail Symposium to discuss the supply chain rail network. ⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ ⁠Visit our sponsor - TAYLOR AND MARTIN⁠ ⁠Subscribe to the WTT newsletter⁠ ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ ⁠Spotify⁠ ⁠More FreightWaves Podcasts⁠ #WHATTHETRUCK #FreightNews #supplychain Learn more about your ad choices.

You're not stuck, you're capped. You've hit a level of success—but the harder you push, the less things seem to move. What used to work isn't working anymore, and it feels like you're hitting an invisible ceiling—but it's actually the exact moment before your next level opens up.In this episode, Andrea breaks down why high-performing women don't plateau from lack of effort but from structural limits in their business, decision-making, and capacity—and what it looks like to expand beyond them without burning out.If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right and still not growing, this is for you.____________

Have you noticed how money beliefs quietly shape the choices we make as business owners? Maybe you've caught yourself saying “I'm just not a numbers person,” or hesitating to invest in something you need because of that fear - “what if it doesn't work?” So many intelligent women are unknowingly playing small because of stories we've absorbed about money and business throughout our lives. This episode is here to change that. I'm thrilled to bring you a conversation with Danielle Hayden, CEO and co-founder of Kickstart Accounting Inc. Not only does Danielle Hayden have 15 years of experience working her way from salon floors to corporate boardrooms, but she's a passionate advocate for making finances practical, and even (gasp!) enjoyable. for female entrepreneurs like us. She's on a mission to show us how the right numbers can empower us to make confident decisions and grow our businesses on our own terms. Here's what you'll discover in this unmissable chat: Why do so many women believe they're “not numbers people,” and what happens when you stop using that as an excuse? How can understanding just a handful of key numbers put you in the driver's seat, instead of feeling lost or overwhelmed? What's the real cost of trying to do (or control) everything yourself, from bookkeeping to Canva - and how do you release the badge of ‘doing it all'? Why do we feel guilty about spending in our businesses, and how can reframing our beliefs free us to invest in the growth we want? How might holding onto the myth of being “too small” actually be the thing holding you back from the success you're dreaming of? If you're ready to swap confusion for clarity and take back control of your business money story, tune in now. This episode is packed with real talk, practical wisdom, and fresh perspectives. Exactly what we need to make business profitable and fun again! About our guest: Danielle Hayden is the Co-Founder and CEO of Kickstart Accounting, Inc., where she helps six- and seven-figure women entrepreneurs stop winging it with their money and actually understand their numbers. She's your no-BS financial co-pilot with a side of “let's make this business profitable and fun again.” With over 15 years of experience in the world of finance, Danielle has worked her way from accounting firm intern to the Co-Founder of Kickstart Accounting.

Episode 574 - CBC 2026 Debrief w/Holl & Casse Happy Monday, Thieves! Augie is off in Spain riding his bike so Kennedy sits down with Holl and Casse to do a little CBC 2026 debrief.

On the outside, everything looked like success.Dr. Bridget Flickinger is an ER physician, a business owner, and a mom of three—building a thriving aesthetics practice while still working in emergency medicine. But behind the scenes? She was exhausted, overwhelmed, and stuck in what Andrea Liebross calls “decision debt.”In this episode, we go inside the moment where “doing it all” stops working—and what it actually takes to shift from operator to CEO.If you've ever felt like you're winning on the outside but barely holding it together on the inside… this episode is for you. ___________________

Juggling business and parenting isn't for the faint-hearted, is it? My kids have just gone back to school after the holidays, and that sudden rush of brain space got me thinking about how tough it can be to run a business while raising a family. We don't talk about the reality enough. The endless hours of kid-related admin for school, sports, clubs… we just tack it all on and have this “chin up, and carry on” mentality as if this is perfectly normal! I think because there's this notion that you've got to do it all to succeed; work late into the nights, keep up with all the online trends, and put on a show… It's ridiculous. But what if you don't want your business to take over your entire life? Or to feel guilty when “life” with your kids takes priority over your work? In this episode we'll examine business models that make sense for family life, and why there is zero shame in choosing a path that suits you, rather than aiming for an imaginary standard set by people with a totally different reality and far less constraints. Here's what I cover in this episode: Why do we feel pressure to run our businesses like people who don't have kids? What can we do about the guilt when our parenting or life needs attention? How can you set clear boundaries with your business, so it doesn't become another needy child? What does it look like to actually fit your business around your life? What's the secret to picking out only the offerings and activities that spark joy (and ditching the ones that drain you)? How do you build your business plan from your genuine values, starting with what matters most to you, not just what everyone else says you “should” do? Why choosing your own path, instead of following business advice not designed for parents, leads to not just a more successful business, but a happier life. If you're ready to break out of the “I should be doing more” mindset and design a business and a life you love, hit play—this episode is for you. ………………………………………… Are you a woman in business?

Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode was written by Bro Sheldon A. Munn of LaFayette Lodge #194, Selinsgrove PA. When I contacted his Lodge, I learned that he had joined the Great Architect some years ago, but the PM and current Secretary of LaFayette Lodge #194, WBro Glen Bickhart, graciously agreed to read this STB in Bro Munn’s place. Here, we find a telling of one of the greatest battles of the Civil War, in which there were Masons on both sides at the beginning, middle, and end. Enjoy, and do share this and all of these Podcast episodes with your brothers and your Lodge.

The moment your business starts growing is often the moment you start getting trapped inside it.In this conversation, Andrea sits down with entrepreneur Cameron Hemphill, who has helped scale more than 1,000 businesses and built Growth99 into a national platform before exiting to private equity. Cameron shares the patterns he sees over and over again as businesses grow—from the systems founders ignore early on to the mindset traps that quietly cap growth.They talk about why so many founders get stuck trading time for dollars, how poor systems silently kill growth, and why the difference between a busy business and a scalable one often comes down to structure, delegation, and the willingness to invest before the results show up.If you've ever felt like you built a successful business… only to become trapped running it, this conversation will challenge how you think about scaling, freedom, and what it really takes to build something that can grow beyond you.____________

Do you feel your corporate experience is holding you back or powering you forward in your business journey? Many women who leave their career behind to become their own boss have gritty stories to tell that make you gasp, sigh or roll your eyes at the soul-destroying scenarios they had to endure as a female with leadership goals. But what if the skills you picked up inside those power-hungry boardrooms are secretly your biggest assets as an entrepreneur? If you've ever felt like corporate life was a world away from your own business, you'll want to hear this. I'm thrilled to welcome Ros Cardinal to the show. Ros is an organizational development consultant, executive coach, and the brilliant mind behind the Women's Leader Archetypes model. With her model already in use in nearly 100 countries, Ros is known for her knack for making complex ideas feel simple and completely practical. We unpack how women's natural leadership styles get lost (or dismissed) in traditional workplaces, and we explore how you can reclaim your own power and lead your business in your unique way. Here's what we get stuck into: Why do so many talented women leave successful corporate careers for entrepreneurship — and what makes them rethink leadership entirely? What are the hidden leadership strengths women often bring from their corporate lives, without even realising? How do traditional workplaces force women to mould themselves into someone they're not, and what toll does that take? What are the 8 leader archetypes? How do the "shadow" and "empowered" roles play out day-to-day, and how can spotting them help you grow your business? How can you harness your strengths and break free from the “not enough” trap to truly thrive on your own terms? You'll no doubt relate to the stories told in this episode and more importantly- the lesson learned from each one. Whether you're still in corporate, thinking about the leap, or years into running your own business, you'll walk away with a new perspective on your strengths, your challenges, and your potential. This is a must-listen if you want to lead your business boldly and in a way that feels authentically you. About our guest: Ros Cardinal is an organisational development consultant, executive coach, and creator of the Women's Leader Archetypes model, benchmarked with thousands of women leaders worldwide. Known as a strategist, alchemist, and unapologetic diagnostics nerd, Ros blends neuroscience, leadership, and archetypes to turn complexity into clarity. She helps leaders and coaches alike shape change that actually lasts.

You have the fire. But do you have the framework?Many high-achieving women believe they need better strategy, stronger confidence, or more productivity to grow their business or leadership. But the real barrier to growth is often something deeper: the beliefs underneath it all.In this episode, Andrea explores belief infrastructure—the internal framework that shapes your leadership mindset, decision-making, and ability to move past limiting beliefs. When the belief system supporting your ambition isn't strong enough, even great plans struggle to take hold.Through practical examples and a simple 7-step belief process, Andrea shows how to identify the thoughts driving your decisions, shift limiting beliefs, and build a mindset that supports leadership, business growth, and long-term success.Because when your beliefs are built to hold more, everything else you're building finally can too.____________

What if the reason your business feels chaotic isn't because you need to work harder—but because you're missing clarity?In this episode, Andrea sits down with Seran Glanfield, founder of Spring Three Studio Business Consulting and host of the Pilates Business Podcast. Seran explains why many passionate service-based founders hit a ceiling in their business and how mapping the client journey can change the way you attract, serve, and retain clients. Together they explore why being great at your craft isn't enough to build a sustainable business, where founders often misdirect their time and energy, and the small shift that can bring more clarity, focus, and momentum to your growth.____________ 

Are you feeling a shift in the air - one that's pushing you towards bold decisions in your business or life? Maybe you've noticed people around the world making huge pivots already? Successful entrepreneurs dismantling their $m tried-and-tested programs and going unexpected directions. Marriages ending, businesses closing, things that have been around for years just ceasing to exist… and fresh starts everywhere. It's not a coincidence! This week on She's The Business, we're blending business and spirituality- talking about the strong energetic undercurrents shaping this very moment in time. I've invited the incredible Samantha Riley, a highly experienced business coach with a passion for the woo, to help us understand why so many of us are experiencing restlessness and urge to change. Here's a taste of what we unravel together: What energetic shifts are happening this year, and why do they matter to how we make decisions in business and life? Why are endings, closures, or pivots showing up so strongly now, and how can we navigate these changes with intention? How can tuning into cycles (think: numerology and the “Year of the Fire Horse”) set you up for smarter, grounded action, instead of simply reacting to the latest business trends? What are the real consequences of acting fast, without laying steady foundations? And how do we harness bold energy without letting it burn us out? Why is it so important to intentionally choose whose advice and information we follow, and how can we protect ourselves from being swept up in negativity or scattered focus? If you're curious about how to use this year's energy to build something real, identify your ideal next steps (not just what's trending), and lead yourself and your business with clarity, this episode is your reset. Pop in those earbuds and press play! The future is yours to shape!

You can't outwork disbelief.In this episode, Andrea shares the internal framework behind everything she teaches about leadership, belief, and decision-making. Inspired by communications coach Dia Bondi's Platform Map, she breaks down the four elements that shape your leadership voice — Purpose, Provenance, Point of View, and Playbook.Andrea reveals why so many high-achieving women are stuck performing leadership instead of leading with conviction, and why the real issue isn't strategy — it's belief.If you're ready to stop chasing confidence and start architecting belief, it starts here. ____________

Blink and it's changed! Running a business online today is a whole different ballgame compared to a decade ago. There are more competitors, more noise, and so many “visibility” myths floating around. It can feel like the biggest challenge we should be focusing on is being seen in the crowd. But… here's the strange truth: more eyeballs on your business aren't always what you need right now! In fact - focusing on more eyeballs at the wrong phase of your business can cause you to remain in first gear forever. So, I jumped on the mic to record this episode for you, sharing why focusing on being seen could actually be holding you back, and what really needs your attention if you want to stand out and become the go-to expert in your field. If you've ever wondered why your content isn't converting or why you're attracting the wrong audience, you'll want to listen in. I break down the common pitfalls and shine a light on what matters most for growing your business in a way that feels right for you! Which means you can say NO to endless hustle and NO to sacrificing your precious family time! Here's what you'll hear more about: Why is visibility such a hot topic in the online world, and what does it really mean for your business? What's the big trap nearly everyone falls into (and how can you avoid wasting your energy on tactics that don't work)? How do you know when you're actually ready to amplify your presence, rather than just add to the noise? What steps should come before focusing on visibility if you want to attract your ideal clients and have them say “yes” without hesitation? Why creating your own unique space (something only you offer) matters far more than just “specializing” like everyone else. Ready for practical, honest advice that cuts through confusion? There's something here for you whether you're just starting out or feeling stuck in a crowded market. Listen in to discover how to become the obvious choice for your dream clients, and what makes visibility work when you're ready for it.

In this episode of Gangland Wire, Host retired Intelligence Detective Gary Jenkins dives into the shadowy intersection of organized gambling and college athletics through the story of Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal.  During the early 1960s, Rosenthal built his reputation by identifying weaknesses in sports systems, particularly among vulnerable college athletes. He met one who could not be bought, Mickey Bruce of Oregon. At the center of this story is a little-known but pivotal attempt at a fix involving the Oregon Ducks. Rosenthal and his associate, David Budin, believed they had found an opening, but they ran headlong into the integrity of Oregon halfback Mickey Bruce. Bruce flatly refused the bribe, setting off a chain reaction that would help expose a much wider pattern of corruption in college sports.   I break down how this wasn't an isolated incident but part of a nationwide effort by gamblers to influence outcomes and exploit young athletes. The episode explores the mechanics of organized gambling, attempts to fix games, and why college sports became such an attractive target for mob-connected bookmakers. The story reaches a dramatic turning point during U.S. Senate hearings on gambling in college athletics, where Mickey Bruce publicly identified Lefty Rosenthal as one of the men who tried to corrupt him. It's a rare moment in mob history—one where a gambler is named in open testimony by a player who refused to bend.   From there, I trace Rosenthal's continued rise in the gambling world, from Miami to Las Vegas, where he would help shape modern sports betting while repeatedly managing to stay one step ahead of serious legal consequences. Rosenthal’s story raises enduring questions about accountability, the limits of law enforcement, and why some figures seem untouchable. I close the episode by reflecting on Rosenthal's legacy—and on Mickey Bruce's quiet heroism.   Hit me up on Venmo for a cup of coffee or a shot and a beer @ganglandwire Click here to “buy me a cup of coffee” Subscribe to the website for weekly notifications about updates and other Mob information.

This is Gary Jenkins, a retired Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit detective. I worked a mob for about 14 years, and now I tell some mob stories, as many as I can find. And we all know Lefty Rosenthal. We all know Robert De Niro played him as Ace Rothstein in the film movie Casino. And that movie, part of the reason it was so good that Nicholas Pelleggi, the screenwriter, and wrote the book, was able to spend hours and hours interviewing Lefty Rosenthal in real life. He had gone to Florida by then and it seemed like the mob wasn’t after him anymore. They had one attempted bombing of him, if you remember. [0:41] So it was a really good movie. There’s really good depiction of that era and that system that they had going out there. Let’s go back on Lefty Rosenthal’s history to a guy that he couldn’t corrupt. Lefty Rosenthal thought he could corrupt anybody, but he found a guy that he couldn’t corrupt. It was really one of his early cases where law enforcement, the FBI, and other state law enforcement agencies figured out Lefty Rosenthal was somebody, and he was a pretty big gambler. He was a nationwide gambler. In 1960, the Oregon Ducks had a pretty good team. What a name, the Oregon Ducks. They had a man named Dave Grayson and the quarterback with Dave Gross in the backfield. They had a 5’3 All-American receiver named Cleveland Jones. What a name, Cleveland Jones. They went 7-2-1. They lost to Michigan, and they also lost to eventual Rose Bowl champ Washington. But this was good enough to gain a Liberty Bowl invite to play Penn State. Oregon lost the bowl and played in two feet of snow and freezing temperatures in Philadelphia that year. [1:50] But the biggest news of the season was made during their trip to Ann Arbor to play Michigan. They had this potential All-American player named Mickey Bruce, who really was obscure compared to especially this Dave Gross or this Cleveland Jones, who was an unusual player. He was a president of his fraternity. He was a former Little League World Series star. He was the son of an attorney. He was a team captain. He played halfback and defensive back. And there was two professional gamblers came to Ann Arbor that year and they didn’t know much about this guy, but they did know, one of them’s name was Budin, David Budin, and the other one was Frank Lefty Rosenthal. They didn’t know much about Mickey Bruce, but they had a connection to him. A guy who played for the Oregon State basketball team named Jimmy Granada and knew Boudin from when they were little kids growing up on the basketball courts in New York City. Now, Granada told Mickey that he had two friends staying at the team hotel and they needed tickets. This time, players could then were given tickets and they could turn around and sell them to people. Boudin ended up finding him and introduced himself and said he was Jimmy Granada’s friend and invited Mickey up to the room and said, I’m the guy that needs a couple of tickets. [3:15] Mickey was a little bit hesitant, but didn’t know this guy. He’s probably got a New York accent, probably slick, more than likely. He hesitated at first and booted and said, just take a few minutes. I just want to get you to go and get those tickets. And so he goes him, so he follows him into the room and he finds Lefty Rosenthal waiting there, who he doesn’t know and won’t even have any idea who he is till much later. So they chatted a little bit about the game as people will and ask him questions about the team. And Rosenthal mentioned that Oregon was a six-point underdog. He said, do you don’t think a player could be bribed? Mickey said, I suppose they could. Buden then cut in. He said, Mickey, he said, what do you think it would cost to ensure that Michigan won by at least eight points? Mickey plays along. He says, you’re the big-time gamblers. You should know. So Buden said, about $5,000. And Mickey said, that’s probably fine. [4:14] Mickey said, let me check into this. And he said, I’m late for a team meeting and I got to get going. So they made plans to meet later on about 9 p.m. Mickey was no fool or small town rube. His father had been a Chicago attorney and he now practice in El Cajon, California. [4:31] He raced to catch up with his teammates and told an assistant coach about the bribe who told the athletic director, who then called in the Michigan State Police, who called in the FBI. And they told Mickey to go ahead and show up at 9 p.m. at the meeting in the hotel room. They don’t want to apprehend Buden and Rosenthal right now. They want to get some more information and really get a real solid bribery attempt out of them. So acting on the advice of these cops, Mickey goes back to the hotel room that evening. [5:00] Buden and Rosenthal start talking to him. And so they gave him tips about how to carry out this scheme without attracting any attention. Buden and Rosenthal say, we’ll give you an extra $5,000 and you can get the quarterback, Dave Gross, to go along with this scheme. He said, Mickey, you just need to let some pass receivers get behind you once in a while and let them run up the score a little bit. And you’re not going to win anyhow, more than likely. Get the quarterback to call a few wrong plays nobody really ever noticed. And he said, I’ll give you each $5,000 after the game if you’ll do that. He also offered Mickey $100 a week just to call him at his house down in Florida and update him about the health of Oregon’s team before weekly betting lines were released makes you wonder how many guys did Rosenthal have calling him to update him on injuries and everything on different college teams and professional too. Because I know from doing a story before that Ocardo and a lot of the Chicago gangsters really valued Rosenthal’s tips on making their football bets. He seemed to have some kind of an inside track. [6:08] As he got ready to leave, Mickey said, oh, wait a minute. I gave you those tickets. You got to pay me, which were only worth about three bucks each. And so Lefty gave him 50 bucks for the two tickets. Mickey would remember later that he had to roll $100 bills in his pocket, which is typical for a high-flyer, high-rolling kind of a dude like that, have a big roll of cash in your pocket. And then you reach down in, peel some off so everybody can see how much money you got in your pocket. Rosenthal said, hey, I got to leave tonight, but see my friend Buden in the morning, David Buden, and he’ll give you the money. Mickey agreed, went back to his room. The next morning, while eating breakfast with his teammates, he sees a state trooper leading Buden out of the hotel in handcuffs, and then missed Lefty Rosenthal, who, as he had told them the night before, the Lefty was going to be leaving, and they had made a good bribery attempt. I don’t know what the police were waiting on. They were trying to make an even better case or something. I guess they probably They wanted him to go back in and catch them all together with the money. But then lefty left, and they went ahead and pulled the trigger early. You never know how these things work out exactly and what was at play. During the game, Mickey, I tell you what, Mickey played his heart out. He got an interception for a touchdown. It didn’t make any difference. Michigan won easily, 21 to nothing, and easily covered the six-point spread. [7:28] A player will later be asked about this, and part of the reason was he said the coach had called a late-night team meeting and told them about this bribery attempt and asked them if any of them had been approached. Of course, everybody said no. Whether they had or not, they’re going to say no. But this player said it really shook us. We just had no rhythm. We just couldn’t get together for that game. [7:50] Buden, when he was arrested, it turns out he was arrested for registering at a hotel under a fake name. He ends up paying some little fine and leaving town. [7:58] Lefty was long gone the next day. It’s possible that Rosenthal and Buden knew that just attempting this bribe might have the negative impact on Oregon’s chances against the spread anyhow. All we know for sure is they got off scot-free in the end, and Buden paid a $100 fine or whatever. Lefty, but he did get exposed because Mickey Bruce, he didn’t have any idea of what he was getting drawn into, but it became a nationwide scandal. Basketball and football games, college games were being influenced on a wide scale by these gambling interests and Lefty Rosenthal was right in the middle of it all. Part of the McClellan committee, Senator McClellan of Arkansas convened his select committee just to investigate gambling and college athletics later that year. Because of this Michigan interaction with Lefty and college players and attempted bribery, they brought Mickey Bruce in. September the 8th, 1961, there’s a Senate hearing witness table. And sitting at that table is Mickey Bruce at one side and Frank Lefty Rosenthal at the other. And this was the same Frank he’d met at this hotel room. And he literally fingered Rosenthal as one of the men who attempted to bribe him. That photo that I’ve got in there, if you’re on YouTube, Rosenthal fled the fifth, of course. [9:27] Committee here, meetings like that, really what they’re good for is to stir law enforcement and bring people out and bring out and get the public riled up against organized crime. That’s what McClellan’s committee was really good for. They had several of those committees that finally got local authorities and the FBI to start looking at organized crime. And in particular, this is the mother’s milk of organized crime by now is gambling. And college sports gambling was the thing at the time. There was some pro teams going on, but it didn’t have near the action going down on it that the college teams had. There was a lot more interest in college and a lot more college games every week. Later on the next year, Wayne County, Michigan District Attorney’s Office wanted Mickey Bruce to come back to Detroit and swear out a complaint against the people that tried to bribe him and name him and give statements and everything. Bruce, by then, he didn’t really want to mess with it. He was playing football. He had his fraternity work. He had to keep his grades up because he was going to law school. [10:32] But they had a game against Ohio State that November. Michigan authorities thought, just come in and see us when you’re here. But he was out for the season by then. He had separated his shoulder, and he never really played again when they were playing Stanford earlier that year. He wasn’t going to go back to Michigan. His coaches tried to get him to cooperate, but he said, I’m done with the whole matter. In an interview, he said, as far as I’m concerned, this whole thing should have been dead a month ago after it happened. He conferred with his father, and they both said they can’t really make him do that. [11:05] He said, I didn’t have time to go. I’ve got all these school activities that I’m doing, and I just don’t want to go. And he said, the Michigan police botched this thing from the start. They should have stuck around, and they should have got Rosenthal before they left town. There were several things they should have done, and it was a poorly run investigation that probably wasn’t going to succeed anyhow. And he said it had been over a year, and he said, I don’t really remember exactly what happened. I understand all that, and he could have helped him make a case, but there’s an obscure a paragraph in Lefty Rosenthal’s FBI file. And it might explain a little more about why Mickey Bruce didn’t testify in a criminal trial against Lefty. It already testified and pointed him out in the McClellan hearing. But right after that, his mother received a telephone call in her home in El Cajon, California. Now, there’s some, it says name redacted, but you can easily fill in the name. 1961, September 1961, name redacted, El Cajon, received a phone call from an unidentified male asking if, name redacted, can you fill in, Mickey Bruce, name redacted, answered in the negative, at which time this person uttered an oath and added, you’re going to get it, and so is he. I think it’s pretty easy to fill in the names of Mickey Bruce and his mother easily. [12:26] Bruce stayed home Oregon went to Columbus Lost to the Buckeyes again Wayne County DA Dropped any cases Against Buden and Rosenthal For lack of evidence Lefty will continue During these years To run his sports book Out of Florida He’ll continue Traveling around the country And making contact With people in the College sports world Trying to bribe players And coaches And gather information And. [12:50] Cops in Miami were watching Lefty by then, 1960, New Year’s Eve. Police Chief Martin Dardis of Miami knocked on Rosenthal’s door with a group of guys and found him in his bedroom in his pajamas. He had a telephone in one hand and a small black book in the other. Dardis took the phone away from him and started answering the calls, and they were from bettors all around the country. He remembered that there was one guy named Amos who wanted to place a bet on a football game on New Year’s Day. And Dardis handed the phone to Rosenthal who told the guy that was calling in says you’re talking to a cop you stupid SOB. [13:28] During that raid, Rosenthal complained he’d paid $500 to keep local police from harassing his bookmaking operations. He said, you guys must be kidding. [13:37] Evidently, you didn’t get your piece. About a year later, February 1962, after the Senate hearings, detective knocked on his door again in Miami. He came to the door sporting dapper attire, which he was a really dapper dresser, and he had painted fingernails, according to a newspaper account. He said, I’ve been expecting you. [13:58] The detectives arrested Rosenthal, not for bribing Mickey Bruce, but he and his friend Buden faced charges in North Carolina for offering $500 to Ray Paprocki, a basketball player at NYU, and wanted to shave points in a 1960 NCAA tournament against West Virginia. During this time, authorities had uncovered a nationwide network of fixtures who conspired to influence hundreds of college basketball games over a five-year period. In the end, 37 players from 22 schools were arrested on charges relating to [14:31] port shaving. Man, that’s, boy, that was huge. We’ve got these guys going down now periodically that are getting involved because of the apps. And we’re going to get a little more into that. This gambling thing and college athletics especially, but even pro athletics. It’s a corrupting force, guys. I know a lot of you like to bet on games, but it really, there’s a real potential for corrupting the game. And in the end, if they keep it up and people keep corrupting these games, it’s just going to be like wrestling. You’ll just, somebody will control who’s going to win and who’s going to lose in every contest. That’s what these gamblers would like to get, and they’d make all the money. [15:08] Rosenthal pleaded no contest. He got a $6,000 fine for trying to fix this NYU-West Virginia game. He claimed that David Buden gave up his name and that he said later on, trying to clear himself of that, that that wasn’t really me. David Buden did it, and he would have given up his mother’s stay away from what he had to face. That was when the Nevada Gaming Control Board was after him. [15:33] In 1967, Rosenthal, under the watch of the Chicago Outfit, started acting like his outfit bosses and bring outfit tactics down to Miami. He started intimidating rival bookies and others in Miami who incurred his wrath. He ordered bombings of the territory. I interviewed the son of a CIA operative named, his father’s name was Ricardo Monkey Morales. Look back and see if you can find that interview of the son of Monkey Morales. I think Monkey Morales was probably in the title. And he told us about his father’s relationship with Rosenthal. He told him that Lefty had told his dad that he represented organized crime out of Chicago. And he said that Morales said that Rosenthal paid him. He said that Rosenthal paid Monkey Morales to blow up Alfie’s newsstand with a bookie joint in the back. He also had him, they had him blow up a car and a boat owned by a well-known jewelry thief that the mob was pressuring to do some burglaries for them. He also had him explode a bomb. I remember this, explode a bomb in the front yard of a Miami police officer trying to show his power. I guess this guy was messing with him or something, trying to tell everybody he was connected to the outfit and don’t mess with me. [16:50] Morales would also claim that he’d witnessed Rosenthal meeting with Tony Splatron in Miami in 1967. [16:58] 1970s, he goes to Las Vegas at the request of the outfit, which we all know. We’ll go back over it a little bit. Even legitimate gambling people will say he invented the sportsbook industry in Las Vegas. They didn’t really do that before. And Sports Illustrated once called him the greatest living expert on sports gambling. He’ll die in 2008 of natural causes down in Florida after all the skimming investigation went down and people started going to grand juries and being indicted and going to trials and everything. All the mobsters did. Several people in Las Vegas did. A guy out of the Tropicanda who was Kansas City’s man, Joe Augusto, and a guy named Carl Thomas who worked at both casinos and helping in skimming and several other guys that worked in the casino business. But guess who never was indicted? And guess who never even was called in for an interview? And guess who just hid out? Lefty Rosenthal. Makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Jane Ann Morrison of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Finally, they get an FBI agent to confirm to her that he was a top echelon informant during all this time. They try to blow him up in his Cadillac, another famous attempted mob hit. A lot of people speculate on that. They’ll always say it was Kansas City because they thought he was an informant all along. and never liked him and never trust him because he really, he brought all the heat down out in Las Vegas. Now, the heat was coming anyhow, but he maybe brought it a little bit quicker. [18:24] There’s a former federal prosecutor out of Las Vegas that once said, it’s been said you should never speak ill of the dead, but there are exceptions to the rule, and Frank Rosenthal is one of those exceptions. He is an awful human being. [18:38] Dave Budin, the guy who first approached Mickey Bruce, Yes. Continues in the sportsbook game and draws his son Steve into it. And by the 1990s, the online betting industry has taken over from your neighborhood bookie and a mob just running everything. It’s a multi-billion dollar thorn in the side of the U.S. authorities. [18:59] 1998, federal prosecutors indicted Miami gambler David Buden, same man that tried to bribe Mickey Bruce, and indicted Buden’s son for running something called SDB Global. [19:13] Which later became SBG. Federal authorities prosecuted Boudin under a federal anti-gambling statute because SDB Global was incorporated in Costa Rica, but it was based in Miami. Pleaded guilty and got a $750,000 fine. In Kansas City, during those same years, the son of the feared mafia capo, if you will, Willie the Rat Comisano, Willie Comisano Jr., They headed up a group of bookies that contained the names and sons and other extended relatives of many Kansas City Mafia members out of the 50s and 60s. And they were using the internet and dealing with either SDB Global or one of the other sports betting sites that sprung up in Costa Rica because they were all over the place. Budins were high flyers in this doing business out of Costa Rica. And they were making a lot of money, a lot of money. In 2004, SBG comes to the attention of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. They sent an undercover in, and they asked an SBG operator why the company required customers to call before wiring each new deposit. And he got him on tape to say, because we change the names in the countries of the middlemen all the time. The agent suggested that the process made it uneasy, and the employee of SBG said, you don’t have to worry about it. Lots of people do it. [20:35] Well, during this investigation, they also found there was a Florida State star quarterback named Adrian McPherson was placing bets on games that he was playing in and ends up getting dismissed from the Florida State Seminoles football team. He was a rising star, a rising young star quarterback. In the investigation, they learned he’d already lost $8,000 to a local bookie who’d cut him off. He was giving him, extending him credit. Guy owed him $8,000 and he cut him off. So that’s when he turned to online SBG sites. Now, you have to pay up front. So he was getting some money to gamble somehow, and he tried to hide this activity by using a roommate, but a review of his phone records showed several calls to STB, and one time was, like, just before, there were, like, two in a row. And that’s how they were, like, trying to hide it and then pass it off to make it look like there was somebody else making the bet. He eventually gets arrested. He pleads to lesser charges. But one of those charges was check forgery. And when a gambler starts losing, many times they’ll turn to those white-collar crimes like check forgery, embezzlement. They’ll start stealing from their work, shoplifting, drug dealing. They can do anything like a junkie, man. They’ll do anything to keep gambling. [21:52] I once knew a guy said he couldn’t even walk into a casino because he just starts getting a rush. He just can’t stay away from the machines once he walks in. So he totally has to stay out. Adrian McPherson, he was also an all-star baseball player. Even though he is kicked out of college ball for betting on his own team, he then gets drafted. The New Orleans Saints in 2005 draft him. They want him as their starting quarterback. But they also drafted a guy named Drew Brees, who ended up leading him to the Super Bowl in 2006. [22:27] Now, later in that season or during that season, the Tennessee Titan mascot will accidentally hit McPherson with a golf cart. He sues him for several million dollars. The following year, he does this. He’s been injured by this golf cart. I don’t know if it wasn’t a career injury, obviously, but they also the gambling thing. And the following year, he appears with the Grand Rapid Rampage AFL team. Then he goes to a Canadian team. Then he plays on a variety of arena football teams, a different one every year almost. And finally, in 2018, the Jacksonville Sharks, which is an arena team, releases him. His gambling led him to a free fall into obscurity. He was on his way up to life-changing generational wealth, and the gambling just got him. [23:17] Let’s go back a minute, you know, all these, I’ll be telling all these stories about these low rents and degenerate gamblers. Let’s go back to the incorruptible Mickey Bruce. He was injured during 1961 during his senior year. His last game was in 1961 against Stanford. His three seasons of Oregon, he rushed 29 times for 128 yards. At one touchdown, he caught 10 passes for 113 yards and three touchdowns. Defensively, he intercepted six passes in the last season, returned six punts for an 11-yard average. He ends up being drafted in the 24th round of the 1962 AFL draft by the Oakland Raiders, but he never pursued a professional football career. Instead, he followed his father’s footsteps. He went to law school and became a lawyer out in California. [24:08] Michael J. Bruce, his story goes really beyond the gridiron. He’s on that very short list of individuals who have implicated gangsters, pointed them out in court, and survived. And he prospered from then on under [24:20] his own name. He didn’t go in witness protection or anything like that. He might not have agreed to prosecute Lefty going back to Michigan for that other case, but he did stand up and point at Lefty Rosenthal and say, he’s the one that tried to bribe me. 1981, Mickey Bruce will get the Leo Harris Award. Presented to alumni, alumnus Letterman, who have been out of college for 20 years and have demonstrated continuous service and leadership to the university. Some of the other, Alberto Salazar went to Oregon. He got it. A guy named Dan Fouts, I know that name, Johnny Robinson, Bill Dellinger. [25:02] So guys, it’s much better to get a Lifetime Achievement Award for doing good than to get a car bomb or to die in obscurity. So thanks, guys. That’s the story of Lefty Rosenthal and his earlier years before the skimming and really the story of a tribute to Mickey Bruce, a guy that stood up and did the right thing when it needed to be done. Thanks, guys. And don’t forget, stand up and go to your computer and order one of my books online or rent one of my movies or look at my website and see what you like there. Make a donation, if you will. I got expenses. Don’t usually ask for. I got ads. They just cover some things and then other things. Some of these FOIA things cost a lot of money and got a few expenses. Anyhow, so thanks a lot, guys. But mostly, I appreciate your loyalty and all the comments that you make on my YouTube channel and on the Gangland Wire podcast group. It’s inspiring. It really, truly is inspiring. It keeps me coming back. Thanks, guys.
