We're back with another listener AMA, and this one might be our most heartfelt yet. I sit down with my wife, Alyson Charles Storey, and our conversation weaves through themes of grief, forgiveness, and family legacy as I share the story of honoring my father's life and final wishes. From the surreal experience of his memorial to an unexpected pilgrimage up Snowmass Mountain to spread his ashes, I open up about the lessons loss has taught me: how relationships shift, why priorities sharpen, and what it really means to let go with grace.Along the way, Alyson brings her shamanic perspective to the conversation, offering insight on how to hold both the pain and the beauty of these moments without bypassing the deeper truths they carry.Thank you to everyone who submitted a question—your curiosity and courage continue to shape these conversations.

Best friends, moms, and fearless flippers Kristy Etheredge and Rebecca Franchione join us to talk about their brand new A&E series The Mother Flip, premiering August 16th on A&E's HomeMade Nation. From risky all-cash deals to turning junkyard houses into jaw-dropping showpieces, these two prove that hustle, heart, and a little bit of Hill Country grit can turn even the roughest property into real estate gold.About the Show – The Mother Flip In The Mother Flip, best friends and fellow moms Kristy Etheredge and Rebecca Franchione—alongside contractor Roy Salinas—take on Texas Hill Country's worst homes and flip them into stunning, high-value properties. With all-cash buys, bold renovation plans, and a fearless attitude, they turn neglected, rundown houses into sophisticated showstoppers, splitting the profits three ways.The series kicks off with "Junkyard Gem", where a promising unlisted property in a prime Austin neighborhood turns out to be a nightmare—think junk piles, overgrown yards, and major repairs needed. But Kristy and Rebecca aren't afraid to get their hands dirty, transforming the disaster into a luxurious, modern home that could fetch a big payday.Kristy Etheredge – Bio Kristy Etheredge is a Texas Hill Country local with a career spanning over 25 years in marketing, sales, event design, and management. She's worked with powerhouse brands like the PGA TOUR, NHL, NFL, and SXSW, where she mastered the art of executing high-pressure projects with creativity and precision. Today, Kristy brings that same energy into flipping homes—managing budgets, sourcing salvaged materials, and crafting beautiful, cost-effective designs. A wife and mom of two teenage athletes, Kristy thrives on big challenges and always finds efficient solutions to make visions come to life.Rebecca Franchione – Bio Rebecca Franchione's flipping career is fueled by guts, grit, and a sharp eye for deals. After 25 years of moving around the country as the wife of a college football coach, Rebecca embraced a new chapter—divorced, raising three teenagers, and flipping houses at a rapid pace. In just the past year, she's completed 18 flips, always chasing the thrill of transforming overlooked properties into profitable investments. A published author and community-minded entrepreneur, Rebecca's hustle is matched only by her fearless approach to design and negotiation. She lives in the Texas Hill Country across the street from Kristy, proving that sometimes your best business partner is also your next-door neighbor.https://www.aetv.com/shows/the-mother-flipBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.

Today on the Bikes or Death podcast it's all about the ladies! For the first time ever I turned the microphone, and podcast, over to the talented Kayla Hall who guest hosted today's episode! Her guests for today's podcast are Abi Snyder, Jenny Klecak, and Leila Husain, who among other things, participated in this year's Rockstar Challenge. A 270ish mile, singletrack focused, backcountry bikepacking race in Virginia that boasts about 40k feet of elevation. Each of these Rockstar Women put on an impressive performance, all beating the previous Fastest Known Time. Abi took the overall Grand Depart win and set a new FKT. Leila was 3rd overall and 2nd place female. And, Jenny, who had to scratch from the Grand Depart came back just 2 weeks later and set a new FKT, besting Abi's time by 2 hours. Another story from today's episode that caught my ear was when Leila got a stick lodge into her leg on a descent. I'll let Leila tell that story, but trust me, you're gonna wanna hear it (or maybe not
Care More Be Better: Social Impact, Sustainability + Regeneration Now
Regeneration is a topic that divides people despite having good intentions at its core. But conservative regenerative farmer Mollie Engelhart does not rally on just one side of the aisle – she openly challenges dominant narratives and asks the difficult questions. She joins Corinna Bellizzi to look back on how she let go of her vegan diet to become an advocate for soil health, land stewardship, and political transformation. Delving into her personal experiences as a vegan restaurateur-turned-owner of the Sovereignty Ranch, Mollie emphasizes why saving the environment requires a strong coalition of left and right wings, stressing why such an issue must never be politicized. She also shares insights about what it takes to address the border issue, the challenges faced by undocumented communities, and how the regenerative movement must rethink how regulations are implemented.About Guest:Mollie Engelhart is the executive chef and founder of Sage Regenerative Kitchen in Los Angeles alongside her husband Elias as well as a leader in the Regenerative Agriculture movement with 200 acres at Sovereignty Ranch in the Texas Hill Country. Her mission is to produce healthy food from healthy soil for her communities. Mollie is the mother of five, a film producer, poet, and thought leader examining the connections of humanity, family, soil, food, and culture, constantly questioning “Where do we go from here?” She is passionate about health freedom, natural birth, breastfeeding, regenerative agriculture, community, and humanity's place in partnership with nature and God. As a self-proclaimed lifelong liberal, Mollie became confronted with the bureaucracy that destroyed her once thriving restaurants in Los Angeles during the pandemic. Mollie came to the conclusion that the democratic party did not center around family, God or freedom and now sees herself as a “radical centrist”. Since her revelations, Mollie has done many speaking events, giving testimony to how she became pro-life, the challenges of doing business in California, regenerative agriculture and the connection between soil and health. She regularly gets standing ovations and brings people to tears with her inspiring conversations. Mollie has been featured on podcasts, news outlets, public speaking engagements and more including; Texas State University, Epoch Times, Turning Point USA, Fox News, Bon Appetit, ABC News, NPR, Luke Storey, Max Lavine, Confluence and the Exit & Build Summit.Guest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mollie-engelhart-497385366/Guest Website: https://www.sovereigntyranch.com/Guest Social: https://www.youtube.com/@chefmolliehttps://www.instagram.com/talktomollie/?hl=enhttps://www.facebook.com/mollie.engelhartShow Notes: Raw video00:02:51 - From Leftist Vegan Chef To Conservative Regenerative Farmer00:12:25 - Balancing Personal Evolution And Public Scrutiny00:20:46 - Forming A Coalition From Both Sides00:29:23 - Why We Should Rethink Our Regulations00:33:27 - Addressing Chemical Pollution As Soon As Possible00:41:32 - Solving Issues On Border Security And Immigration00:56:02 - Not Shying Away From Difficult Conversations01:04:44 - Future Plans For The Sovereignty Ranch01:09:47 - Why We Are Meant To Eat Of Healthy Soil01:15:35 - Episode Wrap-up And Closing WordsJOIN OUR CIRCLE.

Texas House Republicans teed up a slate of bills addressing the deadly July 4 Hill Country floods on Monday, but Democrats' continued boycott left the chamber without the quorum needed to vote — setting the stage for Republicans to use the flood relief measures as leverage against their absent colleagues. In other news, a suspect is in custody after a gunman opened fire Monday outside a Target store in Austin, killing at least three people; volunteers assisting in the cleanup following the flooding in the Texas Hill Country in July discovered something unexpected — dinosaur tracks. Researchers say that they're common for the region and, with cleanup efforts still underway, there may be more to find. Volunteers in northwest Travis County discovered the dinosaur tracks in a layer of limestone; and it's been called the Beetlejuice house. The cereal box. The Oreo house. The leaning tower of Cedars. It's a narrow, 64-foot-tall home on a small lot that feels a little out of place. Read more about the unusual house in today's edition. Learn more about your ad choices.

Get ready for an exciting journey into the world of middle grade fiction with two incredible authors who are redefining storytelling for young readers! In this episode, we explore two captivating new middle grade novels that blend mystery, science fiction, and imagination. First up is Laura Lavoie, who takes us into the mysterious "13 Doors of Black House," a spine-tingling story about Maya Murtaugh, a young journalist searching for her big break. Inspired by a family trip to Maine and a visit to Stephen King's hometown, Lavoie crafts a spooky tale that proves middle grade novels can be both thrilling and meaningful. She discusses how scary stories help kids process complex emotions and build resilience, all while keeping them on the edge of their seats. Then we blast off with Shannon Lynn and her sci-fi adventure "The Vesta Chronicles: Sun Chaser," a dystopian novel set between space and a futuristic Texas Hill Country. Drawing from her background as a competitive sailor and her love for the South, Lynn creates a rich world where generations have lived entirely in space. Her protagonist, Tom Raynor, embodies curiosity and the desire to explore beyond familiar boundaries. Both authors share fascinating insights into their writing processes, the importance of creating relatable characters, and how personal experiences shape storytelling. They highlight the power of middle grade fiction to bridge generations, spark imagination, and tackle complex themes in accessible ways. Whether you're a parent looking for the next great book to share with your kids, a young reader seeking adventure, or simply someone who loves innovative storytelling, this episode offers something for everyone. These novels prove that middle grade fiction is far more than just children's books - they're gateways to understanding ourselves and the world around us.

Hurricanes. Typhoons. Cyclones. Tropical storms. Tropical depressions. What does it all MEAAAN? Let's dive in. Career meteorologists Dr. Kim Wood of the University of Arizona and Space City Weather's Matt Lanza join for a two-guest two-parter to address the “deadlier” female-named hurricanes, why hurricane season happens, the category system, where hurricanes come from, why they have eyes, and how we track cyclones' paths so we can stay out of them. Next week we'll be back with Kim and Matt to chat about climate change, emergency preparation – for any disaster occasion –, the latest on the government funding drama, if you should trust a waffle house more than a weather person, and literally what is on the horizon in the future.

Trump fired a key official after she delivered some bad news about jobs numbers. Courtenay Brown with Axios explains what that means for the credibility of government statistics, and unpacks what we learned about the U.S. economy from last week’s flurry of news. As Trump pushes for an end to the war in Ukraine, many thousands of children taken from the country to Russia are still missing. Simon Shuster, a senior correspondent at Time, joins to discuss his reporting. It’s been one month since severe rain and flash floods overwhelmed Texas Hill Country and killed at least 135 people. During public hearings, state lawmakers have scrutinized the official disaster response and heard from survivors. Emily Foxhall with the Texas Tribune unpacks the key takeaways. Plus, Hamas released videos of emaciated Israeli hostages, why state lawmakers in Texas are temporarily fleeing, and the Russian region shaken by an earthquake is now contending with a volcano. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu. Correction: President Trump’s new tariffs will take effect on Thursday, Aug. 7. A previous version of this episode said they will take effect on Friday, Aug. 8.
We are taking it back this week with an episode from July 2021 - The Harkey family is well known in the Texas Hill Country for their bountiful pecan orchards but when the family matriarch goes missing, it seems a longstanding feud fueled by greed is to blame. This podcast is hosted by ZenCast.fm
Air Date: 7-27-2025 Back when I worked in the climate movement, just after the turn of the century, we knew that the extreme weather we were warning about would become ever-more clear to see in people's lived experiences and assumed that any doubts people had about the science of climate change would be wiped away with the evidence they could see with their own eyes as weather became more intense and less predictable. Of course, we didn't foreseen that we were headed straight into the eye of a storm of partisan conspiracism that would fully take over a third of the political spectrum.

This week, Julie & Brandy tore themselves away from celebrating the (ongoing) MAGA-Epstein revolt, in order to bring their 14 listeners an investigative, deep dive on the greed, negligence, and (alleged) corruption that led to the devastating loss of 27 young girls at Camp Mystic, during the Texas Hill Country flood on July 4th. (Trigger warning: this episode is a matter-of-fact, aggressive analysis of the political corruption that has surrounded Camp Mystic for over a decade.

We begin with a quick free-for-all Friday, where we cover the latest news on vaccines, immigration, spending, and foreign policy. Next, we're joined by Dr. Peter Chambers, a retired Army lieutenant colonel who is a doctor and a Green Beret and is now taking his impressive background to the campaign trail for governor of Texas. Dr. Chambers discusses his experience in Operation Lone Star and how Greg Abbott failed to actually stanch the flow at the border. He also explains his failures on medical freedom, which is a stark contrast from Chambers' own experience, where he lost his job as a flight surgeon in the Texas Guard while offering informed consent on the vaccines. Chambers offers his vision for getting ahead of the asymmetric warfare against our country. He also briefs us on his recovery operation in Texas Hill Country and how, as governor, he would utilize retired special operators to create quick-reaction forces within county governments and the state Guard.

President Trump's Visit President Trump, accompanied by First Lady Melania Trump and several officials, visited the region a week after the disaster. The visit included: A helicopter tour of the devastation. Meetings with first responders, local leaders, and families of victims. A roundtable discussion where Trump emphasized unity and competence in the emergency response. Praise for the swift federal response, including deployment of over 400 first responders and 1,500 rescues. Emotional Testimonies and Heroism Senator Ted Cruz shared deeply moving stories: The tragedy at Camp Mystic, where 17 young girls and a camp director died. A cabin known as the “Bubble In” was swept away by floodwaters. A 14-year-old boy at a nearby boys' camp helped rescue younger children. Scott Ruskin, a 25-year-old Coast Guard swimmer, rescued 165 girls from Camp Mystic, comforting them in the dark, rain-soaked night. A first-person account from a family caught in the flood described the terrifying moments as their river house was swept away. The story highlighted the survival of a young girl, Rosemary, and the tragic loss of her younger brother, Clay. Community Response and Support The community rallied with extraordinary compassion and support: Over $30 million raised in donations, with $5 million already distributed. Streets adorned with green ribbons in memory of the lost girls. Stories of survivor’s guilt, especially among children, and the long road to healing. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Trump and his allies are not hiding their agenda: mass deportations, rollbacks of civil rights, weaponized courts, and full-scale attacks on our democracy. We don't have to wait until it's too late. We can stop this. But it'll take all of us—not just on single days of mass action, but through sustained organizing in our communities. That's why this summer, we're launching One Million Rising.
