Sean “Diddy” Combs is already sitting in federal custody, already facing civil lawsuits, already under investigation for trafficking-related conduct — but now the entire landscape has shifted again. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has officially confirmed that they are investigating a new sexual assault allegation tied to an incident reported to have occurred in 2020. And this one? It's not decades old. It's not lost to history. It lives in the digital era, where timelines can be cross-checked, data can be recovered, and investigators can build a picture of the truth in ways that simply weren't possible twenty years ago. In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski breaks down exactly what this new allegation means — not in the sensationalized, rumor-driven way the internet churns out quickly, but in a grounded, fact-based, emotionally clear look at what happens when a complaint like this enters a system already in motion. What does it mean when LASD publicly says they're investigating? Why does the 2020 date matter so much? And how does this fit into the wider legal environment surrounding Combs, including federal raids, seized electronics, and a growing number of civil claims? This is not about assuming guilt. This is about understanding why this one report carries so much weight, why survivors come forward when power starts to crack, and how accountability works when someone who has spent decades insulated by money, fame, and influence suddenly finds themselves answering to the same system everyone else does. We're looking at this moment from all angles: the psychology, the legal implications, and the reality of what happens next if investigators find even a shred of corroboration. Because when a case enters a jurisdiction like Los Angeles — a jurisdiction not intimidated by celebrity — the rules change. This story isn't finished. But today, it took a very significant turn. #HiddenKillers #DiddyInvestigation #SeanCombsCase #TrueCrimeNews #LegalAnalysis #LASD #BreakingCrimeStories #SurvivorVoices #JusticeSystem #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

How strong is your dividend growth portfolio? Send it to us for a free evaluation at dcm.team@growmydollar.com. Plus, join our market newsletter for more on dividend growth investing.________Consumer staples look reliable with strong brands, steady cash flow, and good yields. But dividends can't outrun revenue forever, and across this sector the growth engine has stalled.In this episode, Greg begins with a quick recap of how 2025 has unfolded so far, highlighting strong income growth for the model portfolio, a handful of growth names driving market performance, and value strategies continuing to lag. From that backdrop, he digs into the disconnect between the appearance of safety in consumer staples and the underlying fundamentals that truly support dividend growth. Using Kimberly-Clark ($KMB), General Mills ($GIS), Colgate ($CL), Procter & Gamble ($PG), and Church & Dwight ($CHD) as case studies, Greg shows how companies with high ROIC and defensive business models can still become no-growth traps. These companies were once consistent outperformers with impressive dividend histories, but the economy evolves and so have their growth profiles. Topics Covered:03:05 – Comparing dividend growth to the S&P 50005:43 – Investing styles cycle and chasing rarely works07:07 – Surface numbers can be misleading11:00 – Kimberly-Clark: attractive metrics masking zero growth16:42 – General Mills: high yield but barely growing18:36 – Colgate: excellent margins, slow dividend progression19:58 – Procter & Gamble: financial strength, but limited growth21:03 – Church & Dwight: a past outlier that doesn't meet our targets23:57 – Kimberly-Clark's planned Kenvue acquisition29:36 – The mosaic of evidence investors should pay attention to Have questions or want a second opinion on your dividend strategy?Email us anytime at dcm.team@growmydollar.com for a free portfolio review and ongoing dividend insights.Send us a textDisclaimer: Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Everyone is riding high from last night's 27-14 Patriots victory over the Jets putting them atop the NFL. Is there really any more that needs to be said about how good New England is?

And, there still feels like so much more room to grow for not only the entire Patriots team, but Drake Maye more importantly.
In this episode of the Climate Careers Podcast, powered by Voiz Academy, we sit down with Charlie — author of What We Can Do: A Climate Optimist's Guide to Sustainable Living and Director of Sustainability at Microsoft.Charlie's path into climate wasn't traditional. He started with no sustainability background, building his expertise through curiosity, persistence, and a willingness to raise his hand long before sustainability was part of his job title.We explore how he moved from managing events at Gartner to shaping sustainability strategy across Microsoft — from Surface devices to the cloud infrastructure that powers tools like ChatGPT. Charlie breaks down what it takes to drive change inside massive organizations, how to make sustainability engaging instead of overwhelming, and why optimism is a strategic advantage in climate work.Whether you're pivoting into sustainability or growing your impact in the field, this conversation offers practical insights, honest stories, and a refreshing take on what meaningful climate action can look like.

When emotions come bubbling up—anger, sadness, fear, or even joy—what do you do? Do you let yourself feel them, or do you push them down and move on? In this episode, Brian and Elisha dive into the real and often uncomfortable process of feeling to heal.They share how years of burying emotions can lead to explosions, resentment, and even physical stress, and how God designed our emotions not as enemies, but as invitations to healing and connection. You'll hear personal stories, biblical wisdom, and practical ways to recognize, process, and release emotions in healthy ways—especially when it feels safer to ignore them.
In a world obsessed with hustle, milestones, and momentum, Cole and Dante peel back the layers of what progress really means. Is movement always meaningful? Or are we just chasing the next thing to avoid sitting still?

From personal stories to hard questions, they challenge listeners to audit their own journey and ask: Am I actually evolving—or just staying busy?

Dr. Starr reviews a practical approach to preoperative ocular surface optimization—key exam steps, stop-rules before biometry, and simple readiness markers. Dr. Shafer outlines his IOL decision framework, balancing spectacle independence and image quality, who is not a candidate for diffractive optics, and options for residual refractive error. Related perspectives appear in the October issue of CRST.

Government data doesn't just live in vaults anymore, and the latest suspected foreign cyberattack at the Congressional Budget Office proves how fragile our policy pipeline can be. We unpack why breaches keep landing on core agencies, what “zero trust” actually changes, and how identity, patch cadence, and monitoring fit together when the stakes are Congressional forecasts and budget models.Then we pivot hard into the human side of tech: a Detroit police officer's pantsless Zoom court moment. It's funny until you realize how remote optics shape trust in high-stakes settings. We share practical rules for video etiquette, attention, and boundaries that actually stick. From there, we wade into the strangest product of the week: IKEA's $200 “phone bed” that gamifies bedtime with vouchers. Silly? Maybe. But the ritual taps real sleep science, and we explain cheaper ways to build the same habit without feeding your charger a duvet.We also bring a hands-on pick from Gadgets & Gear: Raycon's Essential Open Ear earbuds. Open-ear audio makes more sense for city walking and office life than full isolation, and the battery life plus sub-$60 sale price make them an easy upgrade. Between sips of Remus Repeal Reserve Series 5—a blend that rewards a little air time—we revisit Microsoft's early tablet misfire and how Surface ultimately learned the right lessons. And yes, we end with a grin at LEGO's lavish Star Trek Enterprise set, because sometimes tech joy is the point.If you enjoyed the mix of sharp takes, practical gear, and a little levity, follow and subscribe. Share this with a friend who needs better Zoom habits or better earbuds. And drop a review with the one habit you're changing this week—camera angle, sleep ritual, or both.Support the show

In this episode, we'll dive into the complicated topic of "Beyond the Surface: Understanding Soft Tissue Conditions and Disability Claims."Most people think proving a soft tissue injury should be simple - pain is pain, right? But in Long-Term Disability claims, carriers see it differently. Conditions like chronic back strains, tendonitis, or shoulder injuries often don't appear on MRIs or X-rays, and insurers are quick to assume they'll heal on their own. That assumption can turn a legitimate medical issue into an uphill battle for benefits. In this episode of Winning Isn't Easy, disability law expert Nancy L. Cavey unpacks why soft tissue claims are some of the most misunderstood - and most denied - in disability law. You'll learn how carriers evaluate these “invisible” injuries, what they look for in your medical records, and how they use recovery timelines and vague evidence to deny claims. Nancy walks through what you need to know: how soft tissue disorders actually affect the body, how insurers assess your functional capacity, and why detailed documentation - from therapy notes to functional assessments - can make or break your case. You'll also learn how working closely with your doctor and attorney can strengthen your claim and ensure your records clearly show how pain limits your ability to work. By the end, you'll understand why soft tissue claims require more than a diagnosis - they demand strategy, persistence, and proof that connects your pain to your work limitations. Winning Isn't Easy, but with the right evidence and approach, you can turn a “soft” tissue claim into a strong case for the benefits you deserve.In this episode, we'll cover the following topics:One - What Are Soft Tissue Disorders?Two - How Long-Term Disability Carriers View Claims for Soft Tissue ConditionsThree - What Medical Treatment Does a Long-Term Disability Carrier Expect?Whether you're a claimant, or simply seeking valuable insights into the disability claims landscape, this episode provides essential guidance to help you succeed in your journey.

Stephanie Scott is an artist and designer who creates large-scale murals that transform corporate offices, restaurants, and public spaces across North America. Her work bridges decorative arts history with contemporary design, blending hand-painted and digitally-printed installations that tell stories rooted in community, nature, and timeless symbolism.In this conversation, Stephanie reveals her journey from a supportive arts high school program to becoming one of the most sought-after muralists in the Kitchener-Waterloo region. She discusses the creative philosophy behind designing work that thousands will see daily, the challenge of avoiding trends while staying relevant, and why she deliberately avoids having a signature style. Stephanie opens up about the psychological pull of overwork, the dance-like flow state of painting, and why she believes human creativity will always have something AI can never replicate—the physical, embodied experience of creation itself.Key TakeawaysDeliberately avoids having one signature style because she would "lose her mind" doing the same approach repeatedly—her creativity demands varietyResearch process involves listing obvious ideas first, then discarding them to dig deeper beyond surface-level cliches and predictable imageryDraws inspiration from decorative arts history: antique malls, old dinner plate motifs, Victorian engravings, tapestries, cabinets of curiosities, and historical design booksAims for longevity over trendiness by incorporating nature, history, and universally understood imagery that won't feel dated in five yearsSays yes to nearly every good opportunity or repeat client because optimism about potential makes her reluctant to turn down work that could lead somewhere interestingFinds painting murals physically and mentally rewarding despite exhaustion—describes entering a "dance" with the medium where she feels the weight of paint and instinctively knows when to adjustWorks with tight timelines on international projects that have opened doors to larger clients and more challenging work beyond her local regionRefuses to use psychology as a design framework because she knows she'd "never emerge from that rabbit hole"—prefers intuitive creative decisionsCreates modular, adaptable designs that can work vertically and horizontally, extracted into standalone pieces—like visual puzzles requiring intense mental energyMost of her large-scale work is hidden inside buildings rather than public exterior murals, seen daily by employees in lobbies, conference rooms, and office spacesLearned to say no to projects she's not the right fit for but struggles to turn down work from valued clients or objectively good opportunitiesBelieves creativity-based work is safer than talent-based work in an AI-disrupted world because creativity requires constant reinvention and adaptation Daring Creativity.

5. Lunar Orbit Insertion and the Disappointment of the Moon's Surface. Bob Zimmerman discusses how on Christmas Eve, Apollo 8 approached the moon. The critical moment was Lunar Orbit Injection (LOI), requiring the firing of the Service Propulsion System (SPS) engine. This burn had to occur while the craft was behind the moon, resulting in a dramatic Loss of Signal (LOS) for Earth. Susan Borman particularly dreaded this moment because the SPS engine, which had no redundancy, was their only way into and out of lunar orbit. NASA believed firing the engine would clear any potentially problematic bubbles in the fuel lines, adding another risk. Once in orbit, the astronauts were visually disappointed, with Frank Borman describing the moon's surface as looking like a "skull" or a lifeless sandbox. Their direct observation settled the debate among scientists, confirming that the moon's craters were the result of impacts, not volcanic activity. 1962
Palace Intrigue delivers the most explosive royal power revelation yet as Congress formally requests interview with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor over his "long-standing friendship" with Jeffrey Epstein, citing financial records showing "massage for Andrew" payments that "raise serious questions" about his sex trafficking connections.But Amanda Platell's bombshell column exposes Princess Kate as the true architect of Andrew's destruction, revealing she's been "relentless in her demands for Andrew to be gone" and operates with an "iron fist," determined that her family be "nowhere near the putrid stench of the Yorks and their revolting behaviour." Sources confirm Andrew made "rude" remarks about Kate in the past, leaving William "infuriated." The devastating irony: Andrew once forced commoner Kate to curtsy to him, but now the stripped royal must BOW to the future Queen—and even to his own daughters Beatrice and Eugenie.Meanwhile, the princesses share emotional Mayfair embrace as King Charles orders them to "stand on their own two feet" financially, ending royal "housing association." Plus, Sarah Ferguson considers Australian exile, while Pitch@Palace winds up with mysterious fund withdrawals.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Episode 4 — Under the SurfaceYou might think you're stepping into unschooling to get your kid out of a broken system. But, as we've learned, that's just the tip of the iceberg!In part 4/5 of our Mini Series - The Reset, we name what's underneath: the deep, often invisible work that emerges after the decision to leave school. From control and power dynamics to healing, joy, productivity, identity, and intergenerational patterns, this is where deschooling stops being about education and starts becoming about everything.And we made this Iceberg Knowledge Tracker PDF to help you follow along.If you've done all the “right” things but still feel stuck, this one gets underneath.//Follow us on Instagram @radical_learningSign up for our newsletters @ https://www.radical-learning.org
Dr. David Grinspoon discusses the potential for life in the relatively benign clouds of Venus, particularly around 50 km altitude, where conditions are similar to Earth's surface. This idea, once fringe, is gaining acceptance due to intriguing chemistry and clues like the controversial detection of phosphine, a possible biosignature. Life may have migrated from a previously watery surface or arrived via panspermia.

This episode is for anyone who feels that nudge toward something new and isn't totally sure how to move forward. We talk about how to trust the calling, work through limiting beliefs, and put real structure around your next step.The Big QuestionWhat am I being called to do next, and how do I actually get there?What We CoverTrust the vision – If you have the idea, it's for you. That calling is data. Start by deciding you're willing to explore it.Surface the blockers – Fear, other people's opinions, the job market, sunk cost — name what's keeping the idea in the background so you can address it directly.Come back to values – Ask, “Which of my values is this connected to?” When your calling is values-aligned, affirmations and decisions get easier.Use a framework that fits you – You can come at transition from spiritual, practical, or energetic angles. Pick the tool that helps you see your next move.Vision it in detail – Picture the future — what it looks like, how you feel, who's with you. Visioning pulls the goal from “idea” into “reality.”Make personal working agreements – These are your values in action. Example: “I don't say yes to work that compromises my freedom,” or “I don't train injured.”Get support – Name what help you need — partner, coach, community, logistics — so the transition doesn't sit on willpower alone.Key TakeawayCalling + values + vision + agreements + support = a workable path through transition.Resources MentionedGay Hendricks, The Big LeapLiz Tran, The Karma of SuccessEnergy Leadership Index (iPEC)Human DesignLa'Kita Williams & Chloe Andersen, To Put Your Company Values into Action, Create Working Agreements, Harvard Business ReviewGather & Grow (under upcoming events) at The Ladies Room SeattleResources:Navigating a big transition?

Kirin Sinha, MIT math prodigy and founder/CEO of Illumix, embodies the vital intersection of AI, XR, and real-world relevance. On this episode, she unpacks the hard realities of spatial computing's journey—from grinding through MIT at sixteen and “building the Iron Man desk as a senior project” to launching Five Nights at Freddy's AR (garnering 60M+ downloads) and powering Disney/Six Flags location-based XR.Sinha challenges the XR hype machine: “Location-based constraints are the best sandbox. Real-world variability, lighting, edge compute, and privacy aren't just demos—they're survivability.” She candidly discusses why the first era of mobile AR rarely survived outside of theme parks and why the true metaverse won't arrive through geofenced phone gimmicks, but rather from ambient cameras, context-aware AI, and wearables that deliver daily relevance.The conversation dives into XR's scaling riddle: most startups go too big, too soon—Illumix ran lean and learned real lessons from thousands of live deployments before expanding. Sinha's take on platform dominance? “Whoever pairs visual context with an always-on, lightweight wearable—without being creepy—wins.” She weighs the mergers-and-acquisitions question with nuance (“you keep every door open, but we've built for independence and profitability”), and explains exactly why Niantic's follow-up AR games failed to recapture Pokemon Go's lightning-in-a-bottle.Guest HighlightsEnrolled at MIT at 16; bridge between math, AI, and real-world camera vision.Founded Illumix, powering everything from “Five Nights at Freddy's” AR (60M+ organic downloads) to Disney and Six Flags' location-driven XR.Deep infrastructure: dynamic, privacy-first, real-time spatial intelligence at the edge, not reliant on the cloud.Insights on product-market fit and startup timing: “Most of the world's ‘available' XR space is dead space without a ‘why' for users.”Honest, nuanced take on M&A, survival, and why lean teams win when timing finally shifts.News SegmentNvidia's $4.5T valuation—is big tech over-hyped, or will foundational arms dealers keep winning while everyone else corrects?Major tech layoffs attributed to AI “efficiency”—stock prices keep rising as automation accelerates, but most Americans are left behind.Brendan Iribe's $300M AI/AR glasses startup—a kinder, context-aware approach to ambient interfaces, but does anyone actually break out from the pack?Google/Magic Leap factory reboot, patent arsenal, and Surface team members cycling across Meta and Apple—XR's “three Spider-Mans” all fight for the same future.OpenAI's privatization and AGI date bets—the team debates when, how, and if superintelligence IPOs.XR economy is in a phase shift—who survives, who gets acquired, and who makes it to scale?Special thanks to our sponsor Zappar.

"The adults in the building need healing just as much as the kids do. Self-compassion isn't soft. It's the most radical act of self-preservation an educator can practice." That's a quote from my guest in this episode, Marisol Quevedo Rerucha. She's the author of Beyond the Surface of Restorative Practices and the CEO of Heartset Consulting Group. A former teacher, principal, and district leader, she now supports individuals, communities, and systems in building high-trust, equity-centered spaces. Together, Marisol and I explore what a restorative way of being looks like, how to build a classroom culture rooted in belonging and accountability, and why self-compassion is a foundational part of this work. Marisol also shares her personal story of healing, offers real classroom examples, and closes with an unforgettable metaphor about facing life's hardest moments with courage and community. In this powerful conversation, Marisol Revucha shares why so many educators feel disillusioned with restorative practices and what needs to shift for true transformation to occur. Whether your school is fully immersed in restorative practices or you're just starting to explore what it means, this conversation offers both heart and strategy. You'll walk away with a clearer vision for what's possible—not just for your students, but for yourself. Topics include: Why restorative justice often fails in schools How to build a culture of repair and accountability The role of self-compassion in restorative work Real-time responses when students act out Restorative practices for staff—not just students "Being the buffalo": facing the storm together Get the shareable article/transcript for this episode here.

This week pulses with strong Mars energy—action, will, courage, and the drive to live from truth. Mars connects with several outer planets, activating an alchemical dance between personal intention and larger evolutionary forces. The Taurus Full Moon and Uranus' re-entry into Taurus turn your attention to what stability and security really mean in these times of change. Courage now looks like grounded authenticity.Monday, November 3: Mars in Scorpio trines Neptune in PiscesYour actions align with inspiration and compassion. Intuition and imagination help you sense what's ready to move from the invisible into form. Trust your instincts and allow mystery to inform your choices.Tuesday, November 4: Mars enters Sagittarius and opposes Uranus in GeminiEnergy surges toward exploration and truth-telling. You may feel restless or impatient with restrictions. Sudden revelations could shake loose old patterns. Channel the fire into liberated, creative action instead of rebellion for its own sake. Wednesday, November 5: Full Moon at 13° Taurus at 5:19 am PacificIllumination rises around embodiment, resources, and self-worth. What grounds you in a changing world? What values sustain your aliveness? Release attachment to false security and return to the wisdom of the body.Thursday, November 6: Mars in Sagittarius sextiles Pluto in Aquarius; Venus enters ScorpioFocused action supports deep transformation. You can move mountains when your intent aligns with soul purpose. As Venus dives into Scorpio, relationships and finances invite depth and truth. Surface appearances no longer satisfy.Friday, November 7: Uranus re-enters Taurus; Venus in Scorpio squares Pluto in AquariusA potent threshold day. Uranus' return to Taurus (where it first entered in 2018) reawakens the long cycle of revolutionizing your relationship with the Earth, body, and material stability. Venus squaring Pluto stirs relational intensity and evolutionary growth through tension. Sunday, November 9: Mercury turns retrograde at 7° Sagittarius (until Nov. 29)Mercury begins its retrograde journey from Sagittarius back into Scorpio later in the month—an invitation to review beliefs, messages, and inner truth. The first part of this cycle (in Sagittarius) helps you reexamine the stories you've been telling yourself about purpose, meaning, and direction. As Mercury retraces its steps into Scorpio, the focus deepens—what hidden emotions, fears, or power dynamics shape those stories?This retrograde offers a potent opportunity to slow down and align thought with soul. Old certainties can soften into wisdom when you let curiosity lead the way. Let your intuition and dreams reveal what the rational mind has overlooked.Reflection Questions for the Week:Where is courage asking you to act with integrity rather than urgency?How does your body reveal what's truly valuable and sustainable?What beliefs about safety, freedom, or truth are being revolutionized as Uranus returns to Taurus?Podcast poem: Where to Now by Mark NepoSupport the showGo to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.com/home-page This episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation. At the edge where technology meets myth, I choose insight over noise, and alchemy over automation. Thank you for dreaming the future with me.
Welcome to November! Can you believe 2025 is almost over? November is packed with big, energetic shifts that are helping us wrap up the year with clarity, awakening, and a whole lot of “aha!” moments.

Here's a problem that'll tie you in knots: You've got a killer software solution that saves companies massive money on employee benefits. You know exactly who needs it. Fortune 1000 companies with self-insured health plans. But you can't get a single meeting with the people who matter. That's the situation Peter Kleinman from Provo, Utah, found himself in. As the sales and marketing guy for his dad's startup, he was tasked with landing enterprise clients while juggling full-time classes at BYU. He had LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, and a burning desire to make it work. He also had virtually no chance of success using his current approach. If you're nodding your head right now, keep reading. Because Peter's problem is your problem if you're trying to sell into enterprise accounts without the business acumen, social proof, or strategy to break through. The 100-Foot Wall Problem Let me be brutally honest: Fortune 1000 CHROs and C-suite executives have built a wall around themselves that's about 100 feet high. Their entire job is keeping people like you from wasting their time. And if you're young, inexperienced, or new to enterprise sales? That wall might as well be 1,000 feet high. Peter was doing everything the sales books tell you to do. He was going straight to the top. He was messaging decision makers on LinkedIn. He was targeting the right titles. He was also getting absolutely nowhere. Here's why: It has nothing to do with age and everything to do with business acumen. You can't speak the language of enterprise buyers if you've never lived in their world. You don't understand their buying process, their risk aversion, or the organizational politics that determine whether your deal lives or dies. Most critically, you're trying to sell something they don't even know they need. And you have zero social proof to back up your claims. That's not a recipe for success. That's a recipe for frustration, burnout, and a pipeline full of nothing. The Bottom-Up, Top-Down Strategy If you can't get to the top, start at the bottom. I'm not talking about giving up on enterprise accounts. I'm talking about running a multi-threading strategy that builds your business acumen while creating pathways into those massive organizations. Here's how it works: Find the amplifiers. These are the people in the trenches who actually deal with the problem your solution solves every single day. They're not directors or VPs. They're managers, analysts, and coordinators who feel the pain but lack the authority to fix it. These people are 100 times easier to talk to than C-suite executives. They'll take your call. They'll teach you. They'll tell you exactly what's broken in their organization and how decisions actually get made. Compress your experience. When you talk to these amplifiers, you're not selling. You're learning. You're asking questions like, "Help me understand how you make these decisions," and "What problems are you running into?" Every conversation compresses years of experience into hours. You learn the language. You understand the pain points. You gather insights that become ammunition for conversations with decision makers. Surface the insights upward. Now when you finally get in front of that CHRO or VP of Benefits, you're not some kid with a PowerPoint. You're someone who understands their organization better than they do. You can tell them stories about what their own people are experiencing and how you can close the gap. That's how you get meetings. That's how you build credibility. That's how you win deals when you have no business acumen and no social proof. The Insurance Broker Shortcut Here's another path Peter needed to explore: Insurance brokers. If you can't talk to the self-insured companies directly, talk to the people who advise them. Insurance brokers work with these organizations every day. They understand the buying process. They know the pain points.
