Podcasts about Student

We all have a reputation, whether we build it intentionally or not. One of my son's favorite assignments from middle school was when a teacher asked him to draw a coat of arms. It included what he liked, what mattered to him, and what characteristics he wanted to portray. He was figuring out who he was. Who would even put the word "brand" with an activity like that? However, there are times we may want to take the approach of "building a personal brand." Whatever angle you want to take, Elisabeth Bostwick talks about authentic learning. Now, for those of us who automatically associate personal branding with social media, this doesn't mean that students have to post on social media at all. Students can start with their strengths and interests and select brand colors as well. Elisabeth has done this with high school entrepreneurship students as well as fourth graders. For today's Fab Idea Friday, think about activities that help students think through how they want to be viewed. Show notes: https://www.coolcatteacher.com/e979 

In this episode of Plugged In To Public Health, Lauren sits down with former podcast host and recent University of Iowa MPH graduate Prithvi Raj Daliboyina ("Raj") to reflect on his time in the College of Public Health. Before coming to Iowa, Raj completed physician training in India. During his MPH in Epidemiology, he expanded that clinical perspective through coursework and projects in epidemiology, biostatistics, qualitative research, data analysis, and healthcare quality improvement. Raj discusses the transition from thinking about health at the individual patient level to examining the broader systems and population-level factors that shape health outcomes. He also shares how projects involving medication adherence and hospital length of stay helped him see the importance of issues such as transportation, communication, health literacy, care coordination, and access. The conversation also covers some of the less obvious parts of graduate school, including adapting to a new academic system, moving to a new country, deciding where to specialize within a broad field, and learning how to turn complicated public health data into information that can be understood and used by people outside the field. Raj also reflects on his time as a host of Plugged In To Public Health and the value of podcasting as a space for asking questions, challenging assumptions, and communicating different perspectives. For students beginning an MPH or still figuring out where they fit in public health, Raj offers a simple piece of advice: explore broadly, talk to people, take advantage of opportunities, and give yourself permission to discover your interests along the way.

The Alan Cox Show

A student of mine forwarded me an email she got from a voiceover guru. One of those here is the truth nobody tells you posts. And after reading it, she asked me, very sincerely, if she was a terrible voice actor. I cannot tell you the range of emotions I felt. From heartbreak to anger. Because she is not. She has been working at this for five years. She is talented. She has done a lot of things right. And one post made her question all of it. That is the damage incomplete information does. And today I want to talk about why. What the Post Said The post was about booking ratios. It said working voiceover actors book roughly one out of every 50 auditions. Beginners are closer to one in 400. The framing was motivational. Stay the course. You are on schedule. If you quit at audition 40 you quit ten auditions before the math even gets interesting. And look, the numbers are not made up. Booking ratios are real. Tracking your auditions matters. Those things are true. But the post also mentioned a student who booked on her third audition and cleared six figures in her first year. Told as inspiration. Told as proof that the teachings work. That is not inspiration. That is the lottery winner telling you how easy it is to win the lottery. What the Post Left Out Booking ratio stats without context are not a roadmap. They are a feeling. Here is everything they left out. What verticals was this person auditioning for? A commercial audition pool is very different from an audiobook pool, which is very different from a AAA video game pool. The ratios are not the same across verticals. What does your demo sound like? Is it competitive in the market you are submitting to? If it is not, your ratio is going to look very different from someone whose demo is dialed in. Who is actually hearing your auditions? Are you submitting to pay-to-plays, to cold outreach, to casting directly, through agents? These are not the same situation. What does your marketing look like? Are the right people even finding you? Audition volume is one variable. It is not the whole picture. Telling someone who has been at this for five years to just keep submitting without asking any of those questions is not coaching. That is a content strategy to scoop students. The Questions You Should Actually Be Asking If you are feeling stuck, the question is not have I auditioned enough. The question is where is my pipeline actually breaking down. Because that is a solvable problem. Maybe your demo is not representing the work you can actually do right now. Maybe your website is invisible to search engines. Maybe you are submitting to the right platforms but with no direct marketing strategy on top of it. Maybe you are in the wrong niche entirely. Those are all fixable. But you cannot fix them by counting auditions. The Bottom Line If you have been at this for years and you feel stuck, do not let booking ratio stats be the thing that makes you quit or the thing that makes you stay. You need real data. You need to look at your actual pipeline and find where it is breaking down. And please know you are not behind. You might just be missing a few pieces that nobody has pointed out yet. Incomplete information dressed up as insider knowledge does real damage to people who are already working really hard and wondering if they are doing it right. You deserve better than that. You deserve the complete picture, not just a number with a roadmap label on it. Want to Keep the Conversation Going? If this hit home, share it with someone who needs to hear it. And if you have questions about voiceover, marketing, your audio, your website, your business model, please schedule a free consult. Let's get you unstuck and on the path to doing what you love. Reach out at mandy@actingbusinessbootcamp.com. See you next time.

Student loan changes just hit millions of borrowers, and most have no idea their credit is about to take a hit. Here's the September 30 deadline that decides how bad it gets, and where credit repair pros come in. Join Our FREE Start Repairing Credit Challenge: HERE On July 1, 2026, a new law rewrote the federal student loan system. The SAVE plan is dead and a couple of older income-based plans are being phased out. New monthly payments nobody budgeted for are rolling out, and collections are set to switch back on. Most borrowers have no clue any of this happened, so the damage lands on their credit reports before they ever get a letter. Daniel Rosen walks through the reporting errors that show up every time the loan world reshuffles, and the one date that saves people real money: set up autopay by September 30 to lock in an interest cut of up to one percent through mid-2028. Whether you started your credit repair business last week or you've been doing this for years, this is the moment to be the expert people turn to when the system stops making sense. Tune in!  P.S.

Today's guest, Dr. Lee Shapiro, is a returning guest who has now retired from clinical practice in rheumatology. He's now mentoring students on research projects. Also with us is Avni Sanghvi, a third-year student at Albany Medical School, who's doing research under Dr. Shapiro's guidance. Today, you'll learn about her research and the other projects Dr. Shapiro is involved in. As a scleroderma patient myself, I'm especially excited to dig into what's happening in the research world to help with this condition. I think you'll find this conversation really interesting.

You may have spent years building a career, growing your resources, and becoming more effective, while still wondering how those successes might serve a larger Kingdom purpose. What changes when you begin to see not only your money, but also your career, experience, time, and influence as resources God has entrusted to you? MEET YOUR GUIDE: Kurt Cornfield spent more than three decades as a financial advisor before God redirected his calling from serving clients to equipping the next generation. As a professor of financial planning at Liberty University and Director of Student and Emerging Advisors for Kingdom Advisors, Kurt has helped build one of the leading programs preparing Christian financial advisors to combine technical excellence with biblical wisdom. His own journey, from discovering Kingdom Advisors later in his career to leaving a successful practice for the classroom, reveals how understanding God's ownership and defining “enough” can reshape both a career and a life. In this conversation, Kurt shares how Christian financial advisors can help families pursue faithful stewardship, why generosity grows from contentment, and how investing in future advisors creates lasting Kingdom impact. He also offers practical insights on faith-based investing, mentoring young professionals, and using both time and resources with open hands. Through stories of God's provision and decades of experience, Kurt provides a compelling vision for financial advice as a ministry rooted in service, wisdom, and joyful generosity. Listen to discover how equipping faithful advisors today can multiply God's Kingdom impact for generations to come. WHAT YOU'LL GAIN: Viewing financial advising as Kingdom ministry Living from God's ownership of everything Defining enough to unlock generosity Equipping the next generation of Christian advisors Integrating biblical wisdom with financial planning Practicing joyful generosity through everyday stewardship Using faith-based investing to reflect biblical values Multiplying Kingdom impact through mentoring Preparing advisors to serve with excellence and humility HIGHLIGHTS: “I don't want to just crank out kids that want to go into this industry because they want to make a lot of money. I want them to go into the business for the Kingdom purpose.” “God owns it all.” “Once we've provided for our families, it's the abundance from that point on. We can be generous with it.” “It all belongs to God in the first place. It just allows us to be so much more generous and free, free to be generous.” “Our major budget item is giving.” “We need more Christians giving financial advice to Christians, but also to non-Christians because biblical wisdom works in all circumstances.” “The more that we can talk to young people about it, they get excited about it.” “We can get them started the right way. The Kingdom impact of that, the multiplication effect, is crazy.” “I don't want the legacy to be about Kurt Cornfield. I want the legacy to be about the Kingdom.” “The ripple effect on the Kingdom is something we'll never know this side of Heaven for sure.” PEOPLE, BOOKS, AND ORGS: Kingdom Advisors (see our interview with founder, Ron Blue) Ronald Blue Trust, now Blue Trust (see our interview with founder, Ron Blue) Harvest App KEEP EXPLORING Discover more conversations, ideas, and resources to help you think intentionally about generosity, stewardship, and living with an eternal perspective.

The soccer season is underway. Now add classes, homework, roommates, travel, playing time, exhaustion and an actual social life to the mix. In Episode 3 of The BIG LIFE, Paige Thompson (Alabama) and Jaiden Rodriguez (USC) get honest about what happens when preseason ends and being a student-athlete suddenly means being a STUDENT again. Paige recaps Alabama's huge road wins over Saint Louis and Memphis — including snapping Memphis' 41-game home winning streak with a goal in the final seconds — while Jaiden reflects on USC's early-season games and the lessons that come from getting a serious wake-up call against a top team. Then the conversation gets real. Paige and Jaiden talk about balancing classes with training, the sacrifices that come with being a college athlete, dorm and roommate life, playing time, confidence, managing emotions after a tough game and why two teammates living under the same roof can be having completely different college soccer experiences. They also check in on the college soccer rankings, make predictions for some of the biggest upcoming games and answer a few questions about what nobody tells you before you become a college athlete. In this episode: • Alabama's dramatic road win over Memphis • The reality of travel and early-season games • Going back to class while playing Division I soccer • Time management, sleep and sacrificing your social life • Dorms, roommates and finally having your own space • What happens when one roommate plays 90 minutes and another plays zero • Handling frustration and conversations with your coach • Confidence, overthinking and learning to “play free” • Paige's game-day reminder: “Play big. Be you.” • Early college soccer rankings and upcoming games • What they wish someone had told them before college The BIG LIFE takes you inside college soccer through the players actually living it. New episodes every week with Paige + Jaiden. #TheBIGLIFE #CollegeSoccer #NCAASoccer #StudentAthlete #GirlsSoccer

Your student has an IEP all the way through high school. Then they graduate — and it doesn't go with them. Dr. Toby Tomlinson Baker was diagnosed with a learning disability in 1987, attended six different schools between kindergarten and twelfth grade, and was told by her guidance counselors not to bother applying to college. She has a PhD. In this episode she explains what actually changes the day a student walks off a high school campus, why the accommodations you fought for don't automatically transfer, and how to teach a student to ask for what they need before anyone makes them. In this episode, you'll learn: - What legally changes when a student moves from high school to college — and why a university can say no - Why self-advocacy is a skill you teach, not a personality trait a student either has or doesn't - What Dr. Baker found when she interviewed college professors about disability law for her dissertation - Why the accommodation that helps one student usually helps the whole class - The one thing that predicts whether a struggling student turns a corner Full show notes, resources, and the complete transcript: https://www.coolcatteacher.com/e972  If this episode helped you think differently about a student, share it with a teacher who needs it.

Aaisha is a two-time PPP survivor who navigated severe hallucinations, delusions, and several medical dismissals before finally receiving life-saving psychiatric treatment.Community birth workers, midwives, and doulas are often the primary line of defense in the first 14 days postpartum. In this conversation, we break down:* The clinical differences between Postpartum Depression (1 in 5) and Postpartum Psychosis (1-2 per 1,000).* What hallucinations and delusions actually look and feel like from the inside.* Why calling PPP "rare" leads to dangerous medical dismissals in emergency rooms and clinics.* Exact red flags, key phrases, and emergency protocols birth workers must use when advocating for a client in crisis.CONTENT WARNING: This conversation includes discussion of severe perinatal mental health crises, intrusive thoughts, and psychiatric emergencies. RESOURCES & LINKS:• Learn more about Aaisha Alvi & grab her memoir: https://www.aaishaalvi.com• Follow Aaisha on Instagram: @AaishaAlviWrites• Postpartum Support International (PSI): Call or text 1-800-944-4773 | https://www.postpartum.net• National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: Call or text 988• Explore Midwifery Wisdom courses & resources: https://www.midwiferywisdom.com

Student-led learning doesn't happen simply because we give students more control. Students need to be intentionally onboarded to the roles, routines, and skills that allow them to lead their learning successfully. In this episode of The Balance, I break down a practical process for onboarding students to student-led learning strategies, from making the purpose clear to explicitly teaching, modeling, and practicing the individual skills students will need. The goal is to help teachers build students' capacity over time so they can gradually step back and position students to do more of the thinking, communicating, and meaning-making.

Listen and subscribe to Money Making Conversations on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, www.moneymakingconversations.com/subscribe/ or wherever you listen to podcasts. New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed, Dr. Sonia Lewis. Founder and CEO of The Student Loan Doctor, LLC, an award-winning company that helps individuals navigate student loan repayment and debt management. The conversation explores America's student loan crisis, the long-term impact of educational debt, financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and Dr. Lewis's journey from higher education professional to nationally recognized business owner. At its core, the interview is both a discussion about the realities of student loan debt and an entrepreneurial success story about identifying a major problem and building a business around solving it. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Educate listeners about the student loan debt crisis. Explain how student debt affects long-term financial success. Highlight the unique challenges facing African American borrowers, particularly women. Introduce solutions and resources for student loan repayment. Share Dr. Lewis's entrepreneurial journey and business-building strategies. Encourage financial literacy and informed borrowing decisions. Key Takeaways 1. Student Loan Debt Is a Systemic Problem Dr. Lewis argues that the student loan crisis begins with the cost of higher education itself. Key points include: Student loans are one of the few major financial products available without traditional underwriting standards. New borrowers continuously enter the system, making loan forgiveness alone an incomplete solution. The problem is tied directly to the growing cost of college education. Higher education and student lending have become interconnected industries with few structural solutions. Bottom Line: The challenge is not just repayment. It is the broader system that continues producing new debt every semester. 2. Student Debt Impacts Major Life Decisions One of the strongest themes throughout the interview is how student debt affects adulthood. Dr. Lewis explains that borrowers often don't fully understand the consequences until they begin trying to: Buy a home Build credit Get married Start a family Launch a business Create long-term wealth Many borrowers discover that large student loan balances significantly limit financial flexibility and delay major life milestones. 3. African American Women Carry a Disproportionate Burden Dr. Lewis has dedicated much of her career to studying how student loan debt impacts African American women. She notes that: African American women earn more college degrees than many demographic groups. They often carry some of the highest student loan balances. Educational attainment does not always translate into proportional wealth building. Student debt often delays homeownership, entrepreneurship, and family financial growth. This issue became a central motivation behind her work and the creation of her company. 4. The Student Loan Doctor Was Built by Solving a Real Problem Dr. Lewis launched her business after recognizing that borrowers were not receiving adequate guidance from loan servicers. She initially: Worked a full-time job in higher education. Met clients in cafes and community spaces after work. Charged modest consultation fees. Studied federal student loan regulations extensively. Built expertise through years of financial aid and higher education experience. Eventually demand exceeded her full-time salary, allowing her to transition into entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurial Lesson: Find a major problem, become an expert in solving it, and deliver consistent value. 5. Solving Problems Creates Business Opportunities A powerful business lesson from the interview is Dr. Lewis's belief that successful entrepreneurs place themselves in the middle of a significant problem. After publicly sharing that she was the first African American woman-owned student loan repayment company, her story went viral. This exposure led to: National media attention Increased public awareness Thousands of inquiries Significant business growth Her success demonstrates the value of owning a niche and becoming the go-to expert in that space. 6. Financial Literacy Starts at Home While colleges play a role in educating students about finances, Dr. Lewis believes financial literacy begins much earlier. She emphasizes: Parents should teach money management. Young adults often receive loan refunds without understanding budgeting. Many borrowers arrive at college without financial education. Borrowing decisions should be tied to future earning potential. Her View: Financial decision-making skills must be developed before students begin managing significant amounts of money. 7. Education Must Connect to Career Outcomes Another important takeaway is the need to think strategically about degrees and career paths. Dr. Lewis encourages students and families to consider: Return on investment. Career demand. Income potential. Employment opportunities. Degree marketability. She notes that many borrowers accumulate debt for degrees without fully understanding how those degrees translate into sustainable careers. 8. Teaching Builds Trust A major factor in Dr. Lewis's success has been education-based marketing. She regularly provides: Free workshops Online classes Community education events Financial literacy sessions By teaching first and selling second, she establishes credibility and trust with potential clients. Notable Quotes On the Student Loan Crisis "Unless we make it free, free 99, in the United States of America, this is a trillion-dollar problem that really doesn't have a solution." On Life After College "When you go to buy a home, they'll say, well, you already have a mortgage. We can't give you another one." On Entrepreneurship "When you are an entrepreneur, you want to put yourself in the middle of a big problem." On Her Business Growth "There was no me before. People were shying away from this conversation." On Supporting Borrowers "We get right into the solution." On Student Loan Shame "It's the thing that plays in the back of your mind when no one else is around." On Building a Business "I only want to talk about having student loans. That's my lane." On Success "God be showing up in places that I haven't made it to yet." On Leadership "You cannot be an entrepreneur, a good business owner, a good leader if you don't have discernment about people." On Personal Growth "I believe in mentorship. I believe in investing in myself." Executive Summary Dr. Sonia Lewis's interview is both a financial education discussion and an entrepreneurial masterclass. She highlights how student loan debt has become a long-term barrier to wealth creation, particularly for African American women, while providing practical insight into why borrowers struggle and how they can move forward. Equally important, she demonstrates how identifying a widespread problem, developing deep expertise, and consistently educating others can create a highly successful business. Her overarching message is that informed financial decisions, strong mentorship, continuous learning, and strategic problem-solving are essential for both personal and professional success. #STRAW #BEST #SHMS Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

In 2024, at the height of Israel's US-backed genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, one of the most widespread waves of college campus protests since the Vietnam War exploded across the United States. Then came the repressive backlash. Over the past two years, we've seen a harrowing assault on free speech and the right to protest from the federal government and Zionist organizations, and universities themselves have ramped up their own internal surveillance and repression machines, weaponizing them against their own students, grad students, and faculty.Life, learning, and activism on American college campuses looks very different today than it did in 2024, but the student-led Palestine solidarity movement is not going away. As a new school year begins, we speak with four students at different college campuses across the University System of Maryland (USM), who are all organizers and members of the USM Divestment Coalition for Palestine, about how the movement is maintaining its demands and adapting its tactics in 2026.Additional links/info:USM DIvestment Coalition for Palestine website, Instagram, and LinktreeDiamondback Staff, The Diamondback, “USM students call for divestment from defense companies at Board of Regents meeting”Credits:Audio Post-Production: Alina NehlichBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

In this episode, Bryan sits down with Leilani for an introduction to GRIT Camps — the hands-on program that brings skilled trades exposure to youth ages 12–17 through community events led by working tradespeople. Leilani explains that a GRIT Camp pairs recruited mentors with students for a day of modules covering safety, carpentry, electrical, brazing, and plumbing, including torch work, PVC and copper fitting, and disassembling HVAC components. Students also learn to read a jobsite-style blueprint and receive a six-in-one screwdriver to take apart and explore. Bryan and Leilani emphasize that while GRIT supplies the curriculum, guides, and structure, the host — typically a contracting business or trade organization — owns the event: recruiting students and mentors, securing a venue, and building real community connections around the day. A large portion of the conversation walks through who does what. Hosts provide the facility, materials (plywood, 2x4s, copper, PVC, and more, all detailed in GRIT's guide), and lunch for up to around 30 people, plus a local host facilitator to coordinate logistics and serve as GRIT's point of contact. Mentors must be certified skilled tradespeople who complete GRIT's required video course and pass a background check before working with students; volunteers who don't interact directly with kids are not required to undergo a background check. GRIT, in turn, supplies the camp curriculum, host and mentor guides, registration and marketing materials, badges, student blueprints and PPE, background check coordination, and on-site program leadership from staff like Ty, GRIT's head of training, who typically arrives the day before to walk the facility with the host. Bryan and Leilani also dig into planning specifics: camps run from about 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., cap out at 16 students with a two-students-per-mentor ratio (so eight to nine mentors for a full camp), and generally need 10 to 12 weeks of lead time to hit deadlines for mentor certification, materials gathering, and student registration. They cover the realities of choosing a torch and joining system — MAPP gas and propane versus oxyacetylene for brazing, and why oxyacetylene can't be used for the popular aluminum-repair activity — along with commonly overlooked items like correctly sized Forstner bits, spare drill batteries, extension cords, and pre-cut lumber. They close with guidance on budgeting (camps typically run $1,500 to $5,000), sourcing a sponsored lunch, handling allergies, inviting community press, and what makes a camp genuinely successful: preparedness paired with passion from both mentors and hosts.

By 2010, Jennifer Pan's carefully constructed lies were collapsing around her. Her parents had discovered the truth about her fabricated life, pulled her out of her relationship, and tightened their control over her every move. Desperate to regain command of a situation spinning out of her hands, Jennifer didn't beg for forgiveness. She arranged for three men to enter her family home one night and carry out a staged home invasion that left her mother dead and her father gravely wounded. In Part 2 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy follows the investigation that slowly unraveled Jennifer's story, the chilling inconsistencies that turned a grieving daughter into the prime suspect, the confession that shocked investigators, and the trial that gripped all of Canada.Head over to our YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@crimehousestudios If you're new here, don't forget to follow Murder: True Crime Stories to never miss a case!

(00:00) — Born in India, raised in Canada: How early experiences with navigating healthcare planted the seed for a medical career.(03:03) — Canadian medical school odds: Why the stat-heavy, seat-limited system makes it one of the hardest paths in North America.(06:51) — First application cycle, zero interviews: What went wrong and what "being a perfect applicant" actually cost her.(09:02) — Second cycle, authentic essays, a few interviews: How honesty on paper moved the needle — but not enough.(15:29) — Ruling out India, weighing the US, Ireland, and the Caribbean: How she narrowed her options after two rejections.(19:05) — Researching Caribbean schools: Attrition rates, match stats, LinkedIn outreach, and a campus visit with her mom.(23:26) — The financial reality for Canadian students at Caribbean schools: Private loans, OSAP, and a scholarship that changed the math.(28:21) — First days at SGU in Grenada: The pressure of IMG status, 12-to-15-hour study days, and staying focused on today.(32:13) — The "Caribbean med school is a vacation" myth: Why the stigma is wrong and what the attrition numbers actually show.(37:53) — Adjusting to island life: Grocery runs as the only break, finding a study rhythm, and getting comfortable in a new environment.(41:57) — Words for students considering the Caribbean path: Why a different road is still a real road.After two application cycles to Canadian medical schools — zero interviews the first time, a handful the second — this premed from Ontario made a decision that changed everything: she packed up and headed to St. George's University School of Medicine in Grenada. In this episode, she walks through exactly how she got there, from growing up as an immigrant child helping her family navigate the healthcare system, to a five-year co-op undergrad, a master's degree, a second MCAT, and ultimately the realization that the Canadian system's stat-driven, seat-scarce process simply wasn't going to open for her. She talks honestly about the financial side — private bank lines of credit, OSAP, and a merit scholarship from SGU — and about what it actually feels like to sit down with a tuition bill that size. Once on the island, she found that Caribbean medical school is nothing like the vacation stereotype: class sizes in the 500-to-600 range thin out every term, and she routinely puts in 12 to 15 hours of studying a day. Her strategy for handling the pressure of IMG status, uncertain residency prospects, and being far from family comes down to one discipline: focus only on what today requires.What You'll Learn:- Why Canadian medical schools function as a stats-first filter and what that means for applicants who are strong but not perfect on paper- How to research Caribbean medical schools beyond Reddit — including what data points actually matter for Canadian and US students- What the financial pathway looks like for Canadian students attending a Caribbean school, including private loans, provincial aid, and institutional scholarships- Why the "Caribbean school is easy" stigma is inaccurate and what the real academic demands look like from a current student- How to stay mentally grounded when the pressure of loans, IMG status, and an uncertain match future is constant

Tune in as the team discusses: Why “unsellable” land is often just improperly marketed or misunderstood. Creative exit strategies including neighbor sales, property bundling, wholesaling, and repositioning. Real examples of costly due diligence mistakes that still resulted in profitable outcomes. How identifying a property's highest and best use unlocks hidden value. Why buying at a deep discount provides room to solve unexpected challenges. The importance of consistent mailing and maintaining deal flow regardless of market conditions. Student success stories and recent land investing wins from the community. How inflation, real assets, and land investing may perform during uncertain economic conditions. Why every parcel has a buyer when marketed to the right audience. TIP OF THE WEEK Mark Podolsky: There's a buyer for every property. Focus on discovering the land's highest and best use and market it to the right audience instead of assuming it's unsellable.Scott Bossman: Get creative before giving up on a property. Try neighbor letters, bundle it with another parcel, or reposition your marketing to match the property's strengths.Mike Zaino: Buy right from the beginning. Purchasing land at a steep discount gives you the flexibility to solve problems and still create a profitable deal.Jon Burnett: Due diligence matters, but mistakes don't have to be deal killers. Be transparent about a property's limitations, adjust your pricing, and market it to buyers who value its specific use. WANT MORE? Enjoyed this episode?

Hot Take Court Vol. 6 is in session. Three cases. No mercy. And one of them is personal. John Cash puts three of the most talked-about stories of the moment on trial — with evidence, arguments, and verdicts that are going to make you argue with your phone, your partner, and possibly your HR department. Case #1: Dolph Lundgren & The $60,000 Understanding The internet called it a cheating fee. A formal arrangement. A negotiated prenup clause. That's not what this was. Dolph Lundgren sat down with journalist Graham Bensinger for a two-day interview and explained that during his first marriage, he cheated and his ex-wife Anette Qviberg responded by spending sixty thousand dollars a month on his credit card. No contract. No conversation. Just a silent financial system sustained by mutual understanding for sixteen years. He called it 'a classic.' This court has a different name for it. And the difference matters more than you think. Case #2: The Bachelor's Degree In Content Creation — And Why John Has Receipts One of America's top party schools launched a four-year degree in content creation. Student loans. A diploma. For posting. John Cash is not approaching this case from the outside. He is a content creator. This episode is content he created. And what he went through to keep creating it — the radio stations, the studios, the eighty-seven-view clips, a house fire, two weeks in a hotel, two hours of walking to work every morning just to quiet his mind, people calling him a failure during the hardest stretch of his life, and people with five followers telling him they should be on his show — none of that is in any degree program. This case is a testimony. And it has been a long time coming. Case #3: Laura Tait, Holiday Extras & The Camera-On Ruling Laura Tait has a documented anxiety disorder. She asked her UK employer Holiday Extras for two accommodations: camera off in meetings and fewer voice calls. They said no. She went to an employment tribunal in South London. She won. The company whose entire business is making travel less stressful for customers could not apply that same principle to their own employee. If you have ever white-knuckled through a video call with your camera off and your anxiety up — this case has a ruling with your name on it. Three cases. One through-line. And two words that close the whole thing. Mind the gap. New episodes of The John Cash Show Follow so you never miss a session of Hot Take Court. Connect with John Cash: www.TheJohnCashShow.com

He helped entrepreneurs secure more than $52 MILLION in capital—and now Stedman Waiters is breaking down how the business funding game actually works.In this episode of Inside the Vault with Ash Cash, Stedman explains how he went from professional football and an $80K engineering career to building Waiters Capital into a multimillion-dollar funding company.Stedman pulls back the curtain on what banks actually look for, why entrepreneurs get denied, and how funding brokers connect business owners with lenders without putting up their own money. He breaks down 0% business funding, revenue-based lending, business lines of credit, SBA loans, equipment financing, CDFIs, bank relationships, and personal credit.But getting access to money is only part of the game.Stedman also shares how he transitioned from his 9-to-5 without recklessly quitting, why investing in mentorship accelerated his success, how marketing became the engine behind his seven-figure business, and the **3 M's—More, Metrics & Manpower—**that he uses to scale businesses.Ash and Stedman also discuss becoming the first millionaire in your family, why success can become lonely, acquiring existing businesses during the generational wealth transfer, using credit as leverage, and why entrepreneurs who learn to use AI may gain a major advantage.The biggest lesson?Banks are lending. The question is whether you understand how to position yourself—and your business—to access the capital.CONNECT

In April 2026, doctoral students Zamil Limon and Nahida Bristy were reported missing in Florida. When the pair could no longer be reached, friends and loved ones feared the worst.
