Michael Williams joins the show to talk the tax strategy that most investors aren't using yet! He explains his three-phase approach to tax efficiency, focusing on using depreciation as an interest-free loan from the government to redirect money that would otherwise go toward taxes into income-producing assets. We cover his platform's current focus on data center infrastructure, including GPUs and servers, and digital advertising screens, as well as other potential assets such as construction equipment, bourbon barrels, trash trucks, and rental vehicles. Michael stresses the importance of working with qualified tax professionals and choosing assets with strong contracted revenue, bankability, and real economic performance rather than relying solely on tax savings. Today we discuss...  How high-net-worth individuals and business owners can use tax-efficient investment strategies to keep more money invested rather than paying it in taxes. The three phases of tax efficiency, including structuring finances, using depreciable assets, and determining how to own assets going forward. How depreciation can function like an interest-free loan from the government by allowing investors to redirect money that would otherwise go toward taxes. Data center infrastructure, including GPUs and servers, as one of the primary depreciable asset strategies currently offered. Digital advertising screens and billboards as another cash-flowing asset that can qualify for bonus depreciation. That investors should never purchase an asset solely for its tax benefits and that the underlying investment must make economic sense on its own. How revenue-sharing pools can help diversify cash flow across multiple assets rather than tying an investor's returns to a single asset. How these strategies can provide opportunities for investors who do not want to rely on real estate professional status to take advantage of depreciation. The importance of material participation and understanding whether an investor can actively participate enough to utilize certain tax benefits. What investors should look for in legitimate programs, including cash-flowing assets, contracted revenue, strong counterparties, and bankability. Tax savings should complement a strong investment rather than be the primary reason for making the investment.

Tax cuts can strengthen incentives to work, save, invest, and build. But what happens when Washington cuts one tax while raising tariffs and continues spending beyond taxpayers' means?Dr. Adam Michel of the Cato Institute joins me to discuss why tax reform and spending restraint must go together. We examine tariffs, deficits, reconciliation, entitlement spending, business investment, and what a simpler, flatter, more pro-growth tax system could look like.The goal isn't simply lower tax rates. It's reducing the overall burden the government places on Americans and creating an economy where people have greater freedom to prosper.Get show notes at vanceginn.substack.com.#TaxPolicy #Economics #FederalSpending #FreeMarkets

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 Attorney S. Diane Clair. A Georgia-based attorney, real estate law professor at Kennesaw State University, and founder of a law practice specializing in real estate, estate planning, probate, business, and contract law. The discussion focuses on wealth building through real estate investing, asset protection, and estate planning strategies for generational wealth. Purpose of the Interview The primary purpose of the interview was to: Educate listeners about real estate investing opportunities, including lesser-known strategies such as tax liens and tax deeds. [ Stress the importance of working with qualified legal professionals instead of relying on Google, social media, AI tools, or generic legal templates. [ Promote wealth preservation through estate planning, particularly trusts and business structures. [ Encourage minority communities to create estate plans and pass wealth to future generations. [ Key Takeaways 1. Don't Rely Solely on Google, Social Media, or AI for Legal Advice Clair warns that many individuals attempt to create wills, trusts, and legal documents online without professional guidance. She emphasizes that legal matters require experienced attorneys because AI and internet sources may provide incomplete or incorrect information. Why it Matters Legal mistakes can create costly problems later. AI-generated content can be inaccurate. Estate planning and real estate transactions require professional review. 2. Real Estate Is a Powerful Wealth-Building Tool Clair argues that real estate remains one of the strongest ways to build and transfer wealth between generations. She highlights its relative stability compared to stock market fluctuations. Benefits Mentioned Builds long-term wealth Generates passive income Creates assets that can be inherited Helps achieve financial freedom [ 3. Start Real Estate Investing Through a Business Entity One of Clair's first recommendations is to establish a legal business structure before purchasing investment properties. Recommended Structures LLC Corporation Other formal business entities [ She repeatedly stresses that investment assets ideally should not be owned in an individual's personal name. 4. You Don't Need Large Amounts of Money to Invest A major myth she debunks is that real estate investing requires significant capital. Entry-Level Strategies Tax liens Tax deeds Foreclosure purchases Fix-and-flip projects Rental properties [ According to Clair, investors can begin with relatively small amounts by purchasing tax liens and earning interest when property owners redeem them. [ 5. Estate Planning Is Largely Ignored Clair shares a startling statistic: Approximately 64% of Americans do not have an estate plan. Among minorities, that number rises to about 70%. [ She believes the problem is educational rather than financial, noting that even wealthy celebrities frequently fail to plan their estates. 6. Trusts Are Better Than Wills for Many Situations Clair strongly favors trusts, especially irrevocable trusts, as vehicles for preserving wealth. Advantages of Trusts Avoid probate Potential tax benefits Asset protection Easier transfer of wealth Can operate while the creator is still alive Difference Between a Will and a Trust Will Takes effect after death Goes through probate court Directs distribution of assets Trust Can function during the owner's lifetime Avoids probate Can provide stronger protection and tax advantages [ 7. Asset Protection Is Essential Clair explains that trusts can own: Real estate Bank accounts Businesses Investments Other valuable assets Because the trust, rather than the individual, owns the property, there can be additional protection from lawsuits and claims. Notable Quotes On Legal Services Beyond Personal Injury Law "You can hire lawyers for way more, and we can assist you in way more." [ On Using AI for Legal Matters "AI is not really something you want to trust... It creates and makes up stuff." [ On Professional Guidance "You want to book a consultation with an attorney." On Real Estate Investing "A lot of people have that misconception that you have to have a lot of money to start investing in real estate, and that's not true." On Generational Wealth "Real estate is something that is the best thing to invest in and pass down to future generations." [ On Estate Planning "This is not a money thing... It's an education thing." [ On Trusts "The best estate planning instrument is always going to be a trust." On Asset Ownership "Don't have anything in your own name, have it in the name of the trust or in the business." Overall Message Attorney Diane Clair's central message is that wealth creation and wealth preservation must work together. Building assets through real estate is important, but equally important is protecting those assets through proper business structures, trusts, estate planning, and professional legal guidance. The interview encourages listeners, especially entrepreneurs and minority communities, to think long term about generational wealth, asset protection, and financial legacy rather than short-term gains.

For more than a decade, the federal government's biggest tool for accelerating clean energy hasn't been a grant or a loan. It's been the tax code. Tax credits have driven the buildout of wind, solar, and now a much wider range of technologies, like storage, nuclear, and advanced manufacturing. But there's a catch: most of the companies earning those credits don't have enough tax liability to actually use them themselves. A clean energy developer can be sitting on tens of millions of dollars in value that's slowly losing worth simply because they can't cash it in. In 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act tried to fix that by making these credits transferable for the first time ever — sellable directly, for cash, to a company that can use them. It created a brand-new, multi-billion-dollar market overnight, with no playbook and no established way for buyers and sellers to even find each other. Our guest today set out to build the infrastructure this new market needed. Alfred Johnson is the Co-Founder and CEO of Crux, an AI-native capital platform for clean energy and manufacturing infrastructure. Crux got its start in transferable tax credits, and has since expanded into tax equity investment and debt origination, leveraging software, data, and AI to cover the full capital stack for energy and manufacturing infrastructure. Alfred grew up around politics in Washington, DC, and spent nearly two decades moving between government, finance, and technology before his wife, Emily, pushed him to build something in clean energy. In our conversation, Alfred walks me through his journey, and what it takes to build the capital markets infrastructure this country needs to power its clean energy future. Today, Crux has raised more than $77 million, grown to more than 120 employees, and facilitated nearly $10 billion in transactions across the clean energy economy.

How much cash should you have set aside as you enter the early years of retirement so you can weather market downturns without constant worry? In this episode of Retirement Answers, Jacob Duke explains Rivertree's bucket strategy: keep two years of portfolio-withdrawal needs in cash (money market) and three years in short-duration fixed income to create a five-year runway, while avoiding being overly conservative and losing purchasing power to inflation. He also walks through how to take withdrawals in practice—generally pulling from what has gone up the most or down the least—and how to proactively replenish cash and bond buckets after strong market periods or following a decline.

Billionaires are easy to hate. And there are several efforts underway to get them to pay their “fair share.” In this episode, Max argues that focusing on taxing billionaires is the wrong discussion and distracts from attaining the tax policy we truly need. Instead of focusing on the individual billionaires, focus on preventing individuals from becoming billionaires. The real story is corporate taxes.

If your practice has been using the same retirement plan for years simply because "it works," you may be leaving valuable planning opportunities on the table.   On this episode of 20/20 Money: The Business of Optometry, I'm joined by Jared Porter, co-founder of 401GO, for a practical conversation about how much the qualified retirement plan landscape has changed—and why optometric practice owners should periodically reevaluate whether their current plan still fits their business. We discuss why SIMPLE IRAs may no longer be as "simple" or advantageous as many owners assume, how technology has reduced much of the administrative burden historically associated with 401(k) plans, and why payroll integration should be one of the most important considerations when evaluating a provider. We also unpack some of the planning opportunities created by recent retirement-plan legislation, including startup and auto-enrollment tax credits, increased contribution opportunities, plan-design flexibility, and the ability to use profit-sharing contributions as part of a broader tax and cash-flow strategy. Jared and I also dig into an increasingly popular strategy: the mega backdoor Roth. While it can be valuable in the right circumstances, we explain why after-tax contributions aren't automatically available—or advantageous—for every practice owner and how required nondiscrimination testing can quickly change the math. This episode isn't about convincing every practice owner that they need a 401(k). It's about understanding the options available today so you can make an educated and informed decision about whether your current retirement plan is still the right tool for your practice, your employees, and your own financial independence.   Some of the topics we cover include: Why SIMPLE IRAs can become limiting as a practice grows How modern 401(k)s differ from the plans many owners remember from years ago Payroll integration and what "360-degree integration" actually means Auto-enrollment requirements and recent retirement-plan legislation Tax credits that may offset the cost of establishing and operating a plan Matching versus safe-harbor non-elective contributions Using profit sharing as part of a practice owner's tax strategy Why plan design should begin with the end in mind Roth 401(k)s, after-tax contributions, and the mega backdoor Roth The testing requirements that can derail an after-tax contribution strategy   NBS (Next Best Step): Pull out the details of your current retirement plan and ask your advisor to evaluate it based on today's rules—not the assumptions that were true when the plan was originally established. Specifically, review your contribution limits, employer contribution structure, payroll integration, investment flexibility, administrative costs, available tax credits, and whether profit sharing could improve your overall tax and retirement strategy.   Have a podcast-related question?

There's a data center planned for Utah that was originally supposed to be twice the size of Manhattan. Even after intense local pushback chopped it in half, it's still incomprehensibly massive. Alex and John try to picture that (they can't), then get into why old Rust Belt towns are trading steel mills for server racks and getting a fraction of the jobs they were promised. Tax breaks, diesel generators, a 24-hour hum nobody asked for, but hey, John gets to pester ChatGPT with nonsense hypotheticals.

1044. Are rising healthcare costs ruining your budget? Laura answers a listener's question about how to maximize every tax advantage available for healthcare costs. You'll learn the rules for deducting them on your tax return or paying them with tax-advantaged savings accounts like HSAs and FSAs. We'll cover which expenses are tax-free and simple strategies to optimize your healthcare spending.Key Takeaways:You can only claim the medical tax deduction if you itemize deductions on Schedule A instead of claiming the standard deduction on your tax return.You can only deduct unreimbursed healthcare expenses that exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income (AGI), making the medical deduction best for years with high medical bills.Tax-advantaged medical savings accounts are powerful because they allow you to save 20% to 35% on qualified costs without claiming a medical deduction.Health savings account (HSA) balances roll over forever, can be invested for tax-free growth, and can be withdrawn penalty-free for non-medical expenses after age 65 (subject to ordinary income tax).Flexible spending accounts (FSAs) and health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) are employer-sponsored perks for cutting healthcare costs.You cannot claim an itemized medical deduction on Schedule A for any healthcare expense paid for or reimbursed using pre-tax funds from an HSA, FSA, or HRA.Lawmakers have expanded HSA, FSA, and HRA qualified expenses to cover various over-the-counter (OTC) medications and products.Discover more from Money Girl!FacebookNewsletterTranscripts available at QuickandDirtyTips.com.Email: Laura@LauraDAdams.com or leave a voicemail: (302) 364-0308.

The prosecution says Tyler Robinson was a terrible shot—but somehow wants the public to believe he pulled off an impossibly precise rooftop shooting in a matter of seconds. Stew breaks down the contradictions surrounding the rifle, the disputed screwdriver evidence, the prosecution's mounting assumptions, and the legal arguments now putting the entire case under a microscope. Anna Escobar joins Stew to dig into a disturbing trail of Google searches, private flights, FBI connections, and the mysterious rise of Jacqueline McGuire's crisis PR firm. The data raises explosive questions about Turning Point, Las Vegas, and whether these connections are really coincidence—or evidence of a much bigger operation. J.D. Sharp joins Stew for a wide-ranging discussion on escalating tensions in the Middle East, concerns over military readiness, global trade chokepoints, and the growing distrust many Americans feel toward political institutions. From foreign policy and energy security to the future of American power, this conversation explores the narratives, fears, and unanswered questions shaping today's geopolitical landscape.

Then a replay of what was, for most of this show's run, its most popular episode. Hans and Brian take apart the conventional financial planning model, starting with the assumption buried underneath all of it: that anyone can predict the future. When you retire, what taxes will be, what inflation does, how long you live, how the market performs. Every one of those has to break your way for the plan to work.

Matthew 21: 28-32 But what do you think about this? A man with two sons told the older boy, ‘Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.’ The son answered, ‘No, I won’t go,’ but later he changed his mind and went anyway. Then the father told the other son, ‘You go,’ and he said, ‘Yes, sir, I will.’ But he didn’t go. Which of the two obeyed his father? They replied, “The first.” Then Jesus explained his meaning: I tell you the truth, corrupt tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the Kingdom of God before you do. For John the Baptist came and showed you the right way to live, but you didn’t believe him, while tax collectors and prostitutes did. And even when you saw this happening, you refused to believe him and repent of your sins. ———- So, Jesus tells this story and he asks us a question – “What do YOU think about this?” Really, what do you think about this? Are others who are doing far worse things than you ultimately better than you from a Heavenly perspective? In this culture, the fastest and surest way to refer to someone you would look down on is to associate them with two categories of people: Tax collectors or prositutes. Tax collectors were notoriously crooked and corrupt. They would steal from anyone for their own benefit. And prostitutes were considered the lowest of women, who made their living off other’s sins. So for Jesus to say both of these looked down on categories of people would get into the Kingdom of Heaven before them, it brought everyone who heard it down off their holy pedestal. Those listening thought they were righteous. Those listening thought they were better than others because they knew what to say and said it well. But Jesus essentially says, “It’s not what you say with your mouth – it’s what you refuse to do because of your twisted heart.” You say you will, but you don’t – Jesus is not impressed and he’s not pleased. Jesus is not saying sin doesn’t matter. He’s saying repentance matters more than reputation. The tax collectors and prostitutes Jesus is referring to had heard the Good News, they had believed it and they had changed. The religions people Jesus is talking to now had heard the same thing, watched it all happen, and refused to repent for themselves. The danger is when we don’t think we need a Savior. WE DESPERATELY NEED A SAVIOR. And when we know we need a savior, we surrender our lives and change our direction. The greatest barrier between you and Jesus may not be your sin. It may be your belief that you don’t have any. What you say you will do has no impact on God’s eternal work. Your words do absolutely nothing for you, for him, or for anyone else. It’s your changed heart that He is looking for. It’s your surrendered will that moves your feet even when your first response was to not go. Here’s the great news – God is more interested in your direction than your first reaction. The first son said no. He didn’t give the right answer. He didn’t sound spiritual. He didn’t politely say, “Absolutely, Dad!” He actually said, “No.” But then something happened. He changed his mind. (Girl, maybe you got it wrong at first, but God has given you time to change your mind!) Your first response doesn’t have to be your final response. You can say, “I’m scared. I don’t want to. I’m not ready. God, I don’t think I can.” AND GOD CAN STILL WORK WITH YOU!!!!! You don’t have to get the first response right. You just have to be willing to change your response. You know what that is? That’s grace. God isn’t looking for a perfect first response. He’s looking for a surrendered final response. I don’t know, maybe you’ve said no for 10 years. Maybe you’ve been running for a long time. Maybe you’ve resisted far more than you’ve surrendered. Maybe you’ve made some epically wrong choices. The Father is still standing in the vineyard saying, “Come work with me.” Jesus doesn’t praise the first son because he said no. He praises him because he eventually went. That’s repentance. Repentance isn’t simply: “I’m sorry I did that.” Repentance is: “I’m going somewhere different now.” You can cry and never change. You can apologize and never change. You can feel convicted and never change. You can know Scripture and never change. Repentance puts feet on conviction. Repentance is when your feet finally agree with what your heart has realized. Repentance is moving forward in obedience with what you’ve been delaying for so long. Did you know you can say “yes” to God with your mouth while saying “no” with your life. We can get all religious, and be radically wrong. The second son sounds perfect. “Yes, sir. I’ll go.” Beautiful answer. But then he doesn’t go. And Jesus is essentially saying: Don’t confuse agreement with obedience. We can become very good at Christian language. “I trust God. I surrender. God is good. I’m praying about it. I’m waiting on His timing.” But eventually, the vineyard requires you to go to work. There is a point where faith has to leave your mouth and enter your calendar. Enter your relationships. Enter your finances. Enter your habits. Enter your decisions. Enter your obedience. God isn’t impressed by the “yes” you say if your life keeps living “no.” Now, notice this about the story Jesus tells – These were both SONS of the Father. They weren’t hired workers. They were sons. They were close. And they were asked to work in the family business. The Father doesn’t say: “Go build your own vineyard.” He says: “Go work in MY vineyard.” That’s different. God has a work already happening. People need Jesus. Families need healing. The lonely need friendship. The hurting need someone to sit beside them. The lost need someone to point them home. The discouraged need encouragement. The next generation needs somebody willing to mentor them. And God says: “Come work with Me.” You aren’t trying to build God’s kingdom from scratch. You’re being invited into something God is already doing. Have you ever met someone who stepped into a successful family business? My son moved from Hawaii to Southern California last week. During his first morning on the beach, he ran into someone he knew from middle school. Our family lived in Carlsbad, California for exactly 1 year when the kids were growing up. For 1 year my son went surfing every day, my girls rode their bikes along the coast, and we thoroughly enjoyed the SoCal life. We couldn’t afford to stay, so we quickly moved away – but everyone remembers that one year with delight. So here my son is, back where he always wanted to be, now beginning a new life with his wife – and he runs into this old friend of his from middle school. He’s driving a $200,000 porche, still living on the beach, and working in the family business. His Dad started a technology institute and it grew wildly successful. So here’s this 27 year old young man who stepped right into riches. And then there’s my son. We have a pretty successful podcast that operates completely for FREE, refuses to sell advertisements, and intentionally dropped off all social media platforms. Here’s our family business which does NOT include a porche. Not all family businesses are the same. But have you ever stopped to realize that YOU have been invited into a family business that changed the entire world? A family business that saves lives. A family business that holds unseen treasure. A family business guaranteed to last forever, through the end of time?!!! There are family businesses where the inheritance looks like money. But our family business with the Father has an inheritance that can’t be measured in dollars. We get to participate in something eternal. How wild is that?!!!!!! And remember this – you’re not trying to earn your way into the family through your performance. YOU ALREADY BELONG TO THE FAMILY! The sons were already sons before the father sent them to work. We don’t work for God to become His children. We work with God because we are His children. We don’t work in the vineyard to earn the family name. We work in the vineyard because we carry the family name. You and I have been invited into a family business that cannot fail. Our Father is in the business of rescuing people. Healing people. Restoring people. Redeeming people. Bringing people home. And He doesn’t need us. He invites us. That’s the miracle. The God of the universe looks at you and says, ‘Come work with Me.’” Follow Pamela on Instagram – https://instagram.com/headmamapamela Or Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/pamela.crim Find out more about BIG Life – http://biglifehq.com

A post about an MIT professor's coin flip (win $125, lose $100) went viral claiming that refusing the bet was the smart move. The psychology is real. The advice is backwards. This is the difference between risk aversion as wisdom and risk aversion as a leak... and the one number from the story that proves it. In this video, Rob breaks down why a single coin flip with a roughly 55% implied win probability in your favor still gets rejected by most people, why that instinct is completely rational at life changing stakes and completely irrational at dinner money stakes, and why the $43 students were willing to pay to walk away from the bet is the most damning detail in the entire story. Then Rob shows the fix: what happens to that exact same flip once you take it 100 times, then 1,000 times, and why repetition (not bravery) is the actual engine behind every profitable sports bettor, market maker, and insurance company that has ever existed.

Can you deduct your dog, pay your child tax-free, or claim the kitchen table as a home office? Tax rules for small business owners aren't always straightforward. Wrong assumption could lead to missed deductions or problems with the IRS.In this Q&A episode, Mike answersyour questions. He explains which expenses may qualify when a dog is used for marketing, how hiring children differs between an S corporation and a sole proprietorship, and what happens when a child turns 18.He also covers mileage tracking, missing receipts, home office requirements, unreported Venmo income, retirement plan deadlines, college funding strategies, and whether health-sharing payments qualify for the self-employed health insurance deduction. 

    Bleeding is what kills people after injury. In this companion conversation to their earlier episode, host and vascular surgeon Dr. Wayne Causey asks Dr. John Pavlus, Chief of Interventional Radiology at Brooke Army Medical Center, to do the thing most medical conversations skip. He walks step by step through exactly how a bleeding trauma patient is treated without major surgery.   The tools are small. A needle, a short hollow tube called a sheath placed in the artery at the groin, wires thinner than a strand of spaghetti, and catheters steered by live X-ray to the one vessel that is leaking. The patient leaves with a bandage instead of an incision. The decisions behind those tools are what make the difference.    It starts with the CT scan. Contrast is injected and images are captured at three different moments, and the timing of those pictures decides what the doctor believes he is looking at. A scan done for a different purpose at an outside hospital can make a patient look like an arterial bleeder when the bleeding is coming from a vein instead, and veins are not something a catheter can easily fix. Getting the timing right is the difference between the right treatment and the wrong one.     From there the conversation turns to the system. At Brooke Army Medical Center, a trauma activation commits the interventional team to having a needle in the artery within sixty minutes of the call, at any hour. That standard was not bought with equipment. It was built on years of trust with the trauma surgeons, to the point that when a trauma surgeon calls a bleed, nobody argues about the pictures. Everyone moves, including anesthesia.    Then come the organs. The liver is complicated because it carries two separate blood supplies, and one of them cannot be reached easily from the inside. The spleen is the favorite, shut down with a metal coil placed at a precise landmark, sometimes in fifteen minutes. And the conversation closes on thrombin, a clotting agent injected through the skin under ultrasound, no X-ray required. It is cheap, it is simple, and it is the one tool a military interventional radiologist would want in his pack if told to deploy tomorrow.     The thread running through all of it is not equipment. It is repetition. Do the same thing the same way every time, and the mind is free to solve the problem that actually matters. Chapters (01:12-07:15) What Endovascular Care Actually Is and What the CT Scan Shows (07:15-12:23) The Sixty-Minute Clock and Activating the Trauma Interventional Radiology Pathway (12:23-20:49) A Bleeding Liver with Two Blood Supplies and Why Access Comes First (20:49-28:59) A Bleeding Spleen with Microcatheters Coils and Knowing When Good Enough Is Enough (28:59-35:51) Thrombin and the Simple Tool Worth Carrying Far Forward Chapter Summaries (01:12-07:15) What Endovascular Care Actually Is and What the CT Scan Shows    Dr. Pavlus defines his specialty in the plain language he uses with patients. Minimally invasive, image guided procedures done through pinholes in the skin, either plugging up an artery that is bleeding or lining the inside of an injured one with a small tube. The discussion then turns to the CT scan, where contrast dye is imaged at three separate moments, and how the timing of those pictures determines whether the bleeding is arterial, venous, or a contained pocket of blood called a pseudoaneurysm. (07:15-12:23) The Sixty Minute Clock and Activating the Trauma Interventional Radiology Pathway   A trauma surgeon standing at the scanner calls a bleed and the pathway fires. A single alert reaches the interventional radiologist, the nurse, the technologist, and the resident at the same time, and everyone drives in. The standard is a needle in the artery within sixty minutes of the call, and the guest is direct that the only way to hold that standard is to remove every point of debate from the process. Anesthesia is activated at the same moment, because these patients are rarely stable enough for anything less. (12:23-20:49) A Bleeding Liver with Two Blood Supplies and Why Access Comes First   The liver is harder than most people assume because it carries two separate incoming blood supplies, and the second one cannot be reached quickly from inside a catheter. That is why a certain grade of liver injury belongs in the operating room with a surgeon rather than in the radiology suite. The guest then walks through his access routine in detail, from ultrasound guided puncture of the artery at the groin to the specific wire and catheter he uses every single time, and explains why keeping the hole in the artery as small as possible matters in a patient who may receive thirty units of blood. (20:49-28:59) A Bleeding Spleen with Microcatheters Coils and Knowing When Good Enough Is Enough Splenic bleeding can be shut down with a metal coil placed at a precise landmark between two small pancreatic arteries. Dr. Pavlus explains why he abandoned one widely used technique after it tore an artery early in his career, and why he now threads a much smaller catheter inside his working catheter to reach the target safely. He is also candid that in an unstable patient at two in the morning, the goal is not a perfect result. It is a live patient who can be handed back to the trauma team. (28:59-35:51) Thrombin and the Simple Tool Worth Carrying Far Forward    Thrombin is a clotting agent injected directly through the skin with a needle, guided by ultrasound rather than X-ray. It is the standard repair for a pseudoaneurysm in the groin, but the guest has extended it to bleeding inside solid organs and small vessels in soft tissue that would be difficult or impossible to reach with a catheter. Because it requires no X-ray suite and almost no equipment, he names it as the single technique he would most want available in a far forward combat setting. The episode closes on consistency, repetition, and adapting a fixed base technique to whatever the patient in front of you presents. Take Home Messages Timing of the Contrast Changes the Answer: A CT scan is not one picture. Contrast dye is imaged before it arrives, as it fills the arteries, and again after it has spread, and comparing those three moments is what separates arterial bleeding from venous bleeding from an old finding that was never bleeding at all. A scan ordered for a different purpose at an outside hospital can point a team toward the wrong treatment entirely. Trust Is Built Long Before the Emergency: The sixty minute standard from phone call to needle in the artery is not achieved with faster equipment. It is achieved by removing every point of debate from the pathway, which only happens after years of a trauma service and a radiology service learning to rely on each other. When the trauma surgeon calls a bleed, nobody re-argues the pictures. Everyone moves. Access Is the Whole Game: You can perform the most elegant procedure in the world inside a patient, and if the puncture in the artery is mishandled, that is the only part anyone will remember. Ultrasound guidance takes no meaningful extra time, and keeping the opening as small as possible protects a patient who may go on to receive massive amounts of blood. Perfect Is the Enemy of Alive: In a stable patient with a low grade injury there is time to chase an ideal result. In a crashing patient at two in the morning there is not. Placing a coil in a good enough position and stopping high flow bleeding so the trauma team can move on is a legitimate and often correct decision, and knowing which situation you are in is a clinical skill of its own. The Simplest Tool May Be the Most Deployable: Thrombin injection needs a needle, an ultrasound probe, and a vial. No X-ray suite, no power injector, no shelf of catheters. That is exactly why it stands out as the technique most likely to work far forward, where the equipment, the imaging, and the logistics that a modern hospital takes for granted simply are not there.

Robert Nordlander spent over 20 years as a special agent with IRS Criminal Investigation — investigating complex criminal tax and money laundering violations, working undercover operations, executing search and arrest warrants, and building the cases that sent tax evaders and money launderers to federal prison — and in this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he finally tells the complete truth about what that career really looked like from the inside. He shares what cases the IRS Criminal Division actually goes after and prosecutes, what it actually takes to put someone in prison for taxes, the different types of money laundering he investigated, why small business owners evade taxes more than anyone else, how cases came to him and what the investigation process actually looked like, some of the most significant cases of his career, and what the new world of influencers and social media income is producing in terms of tax crime that most people never see coming. _____________________________________________ #irs #taxes #truecrimestories #accountant #cops  _____________________________________________ Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/ksjh06pb  #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the difference between the Democratic Party and the Democratic Socialists of America is not significant—the DSA is the logical extension of the Democrat Party, which has birthed it and remains sympathetic to its core aims; most Democrats are comfortable with DSA figures in Congress, state legislatures, and governorships. This agenda of fundamentally altering constitutional structure and the economic system has defined the party since Woodrow Wilson, even if Democrats refuse the labels communist or Marxist and prefer softer rhetoric. Later, more billionaires would benefit the country because they create and spread enormous wealth rather than hoarding it, with capitalism redistributing prosperity through markets and supply-demand rather than failed top-down control driven by non-economic motives. More billionaires mean more capital, investment, jobs, incomes, pensions, medical care, and tax revenue; this is why Gov Ron DeSantis invites them to Florida to fuel construction, load banks with cash that is then lent out, and circulate money through the economy. Critics fail to grasp this due to jealousy, fearmongering, and preference for centralized power, yet the more billionaires exist, the more wealth and jobs are generated for more people, as even non-business wealth gets invested in banks, stocks, loans, and enterprises that support small businesses and employment. Afterward, ignoring Hayek, Friedman, Sowell, free-market economics, and individual liberty amounts to becoming Democrat Party light. True common good rests solely on the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Enlightenment, with no connection to economic intervention; the intellectual foundation remains figures like Buckley, de Tocqueville, Adam Smith, Burke, and Locke, not online or TikTok content. Finally, the federal budget deficit is on track to surpass $2 trillion this fiscal year as spending outpaces revenue. Tax revenues increase by $139 billion, but spending increased by $308 billion. Increased spending driven by entitlement programs: Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, in addition to servicing the national debt. Even with a 5-8% increase in revenue, the government can't stop spending money. And Democrats complain we're not spending enough! Democrats would destroy private health insurance and Medicare would collapse. The worry: economic turmoil leads to social turmoil. Learn more about your ad choices.
