Malcolm Gladwell, a longtime staff writer at The New Yorker, often uses ideas from the social sciences and epidemiology and applies them to surprising topics. But his new book tackles an issue that's in the headlines every day. The book is called “The American Way of Killing,” and the subject is America's unique association with gun violence. Death statistics, he says, fail to convey the scale of the problem because advances in medical care save countless lives that are nevertheless scarred by violence. Gladwell talks with David Remnick about how gun-control advocates have got the problem wrong, and why he thinks that a persistent dynamic of under-policing and over-incarcerating is at the root of America's problem. “I can't even utter the phrase ‘defund the police,' ” Gladwell says, “without nearly blowing a gasket.” Further reading: “What We Get Wrong About Violent Crime,” by Malcolm Gladwell “Daniel Ellsberg, Edward Snowden, and the Modern Whistle-Blower,” by Malcolm Gladwell  “Thresholds of Violence,” by Malcolm Gladwell The Political Scene draws on the reporting and analysis found in The New Yorker for lively conversations about the big questions in American politics.

For hours, unto days, unto weeks, the crew of the LIttle Snail delved the Castle Eschatonica with their new allies, the Source Rot Investigators from the Elevana League. In the heart of the void, these adventurers escaped the wrath of dragons, met a fallen god, recovered lost, living gems… and found not only a route out, but a whole new method of travel entirely. Jonathan named his new airship 'The Adventures Beckons,' and so, it does: But before it can be attended to in earnest—before he, Elena, Nicky, Veile, Flegbot, and their coterie of gems—can find and reach the White Lectern—they must first say goodbye to the little town of Spillaway Peaks, where Terapine ever-strive to prepare for the cycle's end. But when will that end be? Is it still centuries away, or might the many ill portents across Perpetua prove what some whisper: The clock runs short. The stars have faltered. An inverted eclipse. Cattle, obliterated. The return of dragons. Fire, cataclysmic. Invasion and War. Prayers go unanswered. A ruinous wind.  It is to this moment, this Perpetua-in-crisis, that the Little Snail and its roving staff returns to. Are the days of easy adventuring behind them? Is there no more blue in the sky now that they can traverse it? These are questions they dare not stop to answer. For it is time to prepare: To master this new vessel. To gather supplies for the journey. To meet new allies. To take new oaths. And to learn (or to remember) that it is never guaranteed that you can go home again. This week on Perpetua: At the Threshold 01 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.061] Some Feedback [Page 73 of 75] TheUnforgivenIII Okay. Do NOT be an @$$h0le to me, because you all KNOW I hate asking for help. But I can't tell if I hit a weird bug or something. I finished up Castle Eschatonica finally last night and my Tidaline party got put back up in the southern part of the Clayridge Mountains (as expected).  I wanted to go down into Spillaway Peaks to restock on some stuff when leaving, but it won't let me. Like I can walk down one area from where the airship is, and then when I get to the edge of the zone, it just pops up a Do Not Enter type sign. Is this bugged. Alukard83 Uh, well… Is Jonathan in your party? TheUnforgivenIII Uh, well… didn't I JUST say I had the airship? So OBVIOUSLY he's in my party. Alukard83 UH, WELL, SO, OBVIOUSLY, YOU CAN'T GO BACK INTO SPILLAWAY PEAKS IF YOU GOT THE AIRSHIP FROM THE BECKONINGS. THAT WAS THE COST OF THE AIRSHIP xXZelgadyskXx You're right, but come on, there's no need to shout XD Just swap Jonathan out of your party for now Unforgiven. Then you can go into town. TheUnforgivenIII UH WELL SO OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN GO STRAIGHT TO HELL ALUCARD. IF THAT WAS TRUE THEY SHOULD'VE ACTUALLY TOLD ME THAT IN THE GAME. THE WAY IT WAS PHRASED WAS AMBIBIGUOUS ASND YOU COULD READ IT DIFERENTLY THAN THAT. I THOUGHT IT MEANT YOU COULDN'T GO BACK INTO JONATHANS FAMILY (WHO SUCKS) HOUSE, SO IT WASN'T REALLY A COST ATALL. BUT NOW YOUR SAYING I CANT EVEN GO FUCKING SHOPPING WITH JONATHAN ANYMORE? WHAT HAPPENS IF I GET A RADNOM ENCOUNTER, DO I JUST NOT GET TO HAVE MY STRONGEST CHARACTER???????

Sea level rise. It's a phrase everyone's supposed to be afraid of, and almost nobody can picture. A couple of millimeters a year sounds too small to matter, until you find out coastal wetlands have an exact, measured speed limit for how fast they can keep up, and the ocean is closing in on it. Marshes and mangroves have kept pace with a rising sea for thousands of years by building their own soil upward, layer by layer, as plants grow, die, and get buried in place. That strategy has a hard limit. Peer-reviewed research puts it at roughly 6.1 millimeters of sea level rise a year, the point past which soil simply can't build fast enough. NASA's own sea level data shows the global rate has already gone from about 2 millimeters a year in the early 1990s to roughly 4.5 millimeters a year today, nearly doubling in three decades and closing that gap fast. There's a second strategy, and it's already working in real places. When a marsh can't out-build the tide, it can move inland instead, if there's room. Maryland's Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge has lost more than 5,000 acres of marsh, nearly half its historic wetland, and faces up to three feet of sea level rise in the Chesapeake by 2100. Its 2013 Blackwater 2100 strategy uses conservation easements to pay landowners to keep migration corridors open, and it's already protected more than 3,000 acres along the Nanticoke River and Coursey Creek. This episode connects back to Monday's interview with Dr. Adam Langley and lands on what coastal communities can actually do about it. Takeaways: Marshes and mangroves survive sea level rise by building soil upward, but that strategy has a hard limit: peer-reviewed research (Saintilan et al., 2020, Science) puts it at roughly 6.1 millimeters of sea level rise a year. NASA's sea level data shows the global rate has already climbed from roughly 2 millimeters a year in the early 1990s to about 4.5 millimeters a year today, nearly doubling in three decades. When building up stops working, marshes and mangroves have a second option: shifting inland, provided there's open land behind them to move into. Maryland's Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge has already lost more than 5,000 acres of marsh, nearly half its historic wetland, and its 2013 "Blackwater 2100" strategy uses conservation easements to keep migration corridors open along the Nanticoke River and Coursey Creek. The plan is working but unfinished: roughly 812 acres are protected along Coursey Creek and 2,300 along the Nanticoke, with about 5,000 acres still unprotected.

Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system, closest to the sun, taking a magical 88 days for a year. It travels fast but spins slowly – a day being 1.5 times as long as a year – with a quirky, egg-shaped orbit.Small with a big character. That kind of sums up mythical Hermes (Mercury) who, on the first day of his life, invents music, fire and ritual, steals Apollo's cattle and snuggles back into his blanket like nothing happened. To get in touch with this endlessly paradoxical being we begin with his Orphic Hymn: an invocation of the god. Only, of course, there isn't one hymn but two. Already he has found a way to 'twin' himself. The first hymn gives us a sense of his role as messenger – his 'day job' – the second as psychopomp: guide of souls who assists us through the many deaths of our lives. That's the thing about Hermes/Mercury. We meet him at the threshold. Even astrologically he is the third in a set of three. He revises where we've been and sets us up for where we're going next. Of course, being an episode about words themselves, there had to be some poetry involved. Dylan Thomas takes us in with On the Words in Poetry – essentially a love song dedicated to the magic of words themselves. And then, to close us out, a poem called, if this isn't too on the nose, Magic Words. ReferencesHomeric Hymn to Hermes — Theoi Classical Texts Library Orphic Hymns — Apostolos N.

Grab your cuppa and cozy up for our September conversation that feels like gabbing with a couple good gal pals. In this episode, traditional midwife Lauren and birthkeepr Brooke debrief and recount tales from their recent time together when Lauren's family drove up from Arkansas to spend a week with Brooke's in Michigan. During that time, they also facilitated a midwifery skills workshop for Hearthmother Journey students known as Threshold (a Not-Game), where real-as-can-be simulations of various birth scenarios and emergencies unfold as participants practice responding to them. As it turns out, and not surprisingly, the Holy Spirit hijacked the agenda, which left lots of room for things like a closely-guarded story to be a told, prophetic and healing prayer ministry to occur, and old traumas to be felt and released from the body. They also gab a bit about all the drool-worthy food they prepared and ate whilst together, their experience worshiping together at Brooke's Anglican church (by contrast, Lauren's family attends a charismatic-leaning non-evangelical church back home), and how that led to a humorous eucharist blunder, and how they're adapting their life-giving daily morning habits for a new season. Plus, Lauren shares a happy pregnancy update!Be ready to swing between being moved to tears by the beauty of the Lord's ways and being moved to giggling fits over silly conversations about horrible children's campfire songs that won't get out of your head.

Bring me the pumpkins, the apples, the candles and ALLLLL the fall magic … because Mabon has arrived! This week on Witchy Work Wishes, we are celebrating the Autumn Equinox and the second harvest ... but we are doing things a little differently this year. Instead of simply talking about what we are harvesting, we are exploring the magic of the season through three places: The Pause, that beautiful moment when light and dark meet in balance. The Threshold, the mysterious space between where we've been and where we're going. The Turn, when we are finally ready to step forward and follow the season toward darker nights, warmer homes, glowing candles and a little more time turned inward.We will talk about liminal spaces, threshold magic, the history of Mabon, and some simple ways to notice the magic that exists in those in-between places we move through every single day.And, of course, I've got some life updates for you too ... including renovations on my 100-year-old farmhouse, changes happening at my own office, backyard cats, and a certain Bear story that seems to keep getting more interesting!So grab your coffee, your tea, your pumpkin spice latte and your notebooks … and come celebrate Mabon 2026 with me.

Nobody volunteers for the wilderness, yet some of life's deepest transformations happen there. The places we most want to escape are often the places where God quietly teaches us trust, patience, humility, and dependence. This week we'll consider the possibility that God is doing more than bringing us through our wilderness—He may be using it to shape us.Scripture: Deuteronomy 8:2–5**For the best uninterrupted livestream experience, participate in this week's sermon at nblc.net/sermons

Have you ever felt outside of God's blessing? Jacob felt that way. After living the messy life of a scoundrel, he had hit rock bottom. Yet in an ordinary place, when Jacob was asleep, God broke through into his life. In the wilderness we can build altars of praise to the God who never stops pursuing us.

The world has never been wealthier... but a warm patch of ocean in the Pacific is about to reorganize the weather across four continents and all that wealth still might not be enough to cover the damages. Climate scientist Justin Mankin studies how much these events actually cost - and his estimates run to $10 trillion or more in global economic loss over the next five years. Big numbers, short timeframe, scary outlook. But the hardest question that Dr. Mankin brought up with us wasn't about how we're gunna pay for all of this, it's about what gets lost when we measure disasters in GDP instead of lives.

After the intensity of August and eclipse season, September feels noticeably different. There is more room to breathe, more space to integrate, and perhaps an opportunity to understand some of what has shifted before we rush toward whatever comes next.After the intensity of August and eclipse season, September feels noticeably different.

The human heart has a remarkable ability to overlook what is present while obsessing over what is absent. We can stand knee-deep in blessings and still complain that our hands are empty.

September always feels like a threshold for me.It's the beginning of my favorite part of the year, the point where I start feeling more like myself again, and where style, scent, crystals, and ritual all begin to take on a little more meaning.In this solo episode, I'm exploring the idea of liminality and how certain seasons or transitions can help us reconnect with parts of ourselves that may feel quieter at other times of the year. For me, autumn is that season.I'm also talking about glamour magic in a way that has been on my mind lately: not as a mask, illusion, or way of becoming someone else, but as a way of amplifying and expressing who you already are.Inspired in part by a recent conversation I heard with Mitch Horowitz on The Occult Rejects, this episode explores personal style as a form of authentic self-expression and how clothing, scent, jewelry, crystals, and even the atmosphere we create around ourselves can become part of our magical practice.We talk about why scent is such a powerful memory trigger, why this time of year makes me want to smell smoky, woodsy, masculine, and—quite frankly—haunted, and some of the crystals I naturally reach for as the darker part of the year approaches, including labradorite, black obsidian, clear quartz, garnet, and amethyst.I also share how I work with these stones through jewelry, ritual, scrying, and seasonal practice, plus a simple “Dressing for the Threshold” glamour ritual you can use to intentionally embody the parts of yourself that are asking to become more visible.And because this is Big Crystal Energy, we tie it all together with The Magician and the reminder that the tools are never the source of the magic.You are.In this episode: What liminality means and why certain seasons can feel like personal thresholds  Why September feels like a return to myself  Personal style as self-expression rather than disguise  Glamour magic as amplification instead of illusion  Using clothing, jewelry, makeup, and scent intentionally  Why scent can act like a portal to memory  My current “I want to smell haunted” fragrance era  Labradorite, obsidian, clear quartz, garnet, and amethyst for the darker season  Using crystal jewelry and scrying tools as part of glamour and ritual  How to identify your own personal liminal season  A simple Dressing for the Threshold ritual  The Magician as a reminder that the power lives in you Reflection question: What part of yourself are you ready to make more visible?Send me any questions or comments you may have and I will answer them on upcoming podcast episodes!!

Riley Witt says a hot bath beats a microdose of EPO.That's where this one opens, and it doesn't slow down. Riley walks through passive heat training—45 minutes at 104 degrees, four or five times a week, and the plasma volume adaptations that come with zero skeletal strain. He explains why water cooks you faster than a sauna, why going straight from a run into the heat multiplies the effect, and why a hot bath before bed will wreck your sleep instead of helping it.From there: electrolytes as the most overhyped supplement on the market, why a real sports drink needs sugar, and the carbohydrate timing window that can leave you hypoglycemic on the start line.Then the doping conversation. Riley talks about how WADA actually decides what gets banned, why most NCAA testing is looking for recreational drugs, and what a caffeine limit is really protecting you from. Dominic brings the Shelby Houlihan case and a stat on tainted supplements that Riley refuses to accept, which turns into the most detailed account you'll hear of what certification actually costs—the audit, the quarantine room, the batch testing.And the one everyone will argue about: how a guy with a 3:59 mile runs threshold at 4:00 pace. Riley explains his actual lactate numbers, why 200s at 32 seconds still count, and the theory he's building with Dr. Bill Evans around assisted running and running economy.Plus steeplechase heat, the Odyssey soundtrack, and why Riley would pay a million dollars for six seconds.Tap into the Riley Witt Special. If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

Nick and JP debate what the threshold for Deshaun Watson is at this season?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/8269471100Most runners aren't training too hard. They're spreading the hard work too thin.Marius Bakken has spent thirty years proving it. The Norwegian physician and two-time Olympian pricked his finger more than 5,500 times—on himself, on training partners, on runners in Kenya—to map one narrow band of intensity, and the framework he built from it is what the world now calls the Norwegian Method. This conversation is the compressed version of his new book, The Norwegian Method Applied, out now on Amazon with a link in the show notes.We start where everyone should: defining threshold, and why the 4.0 mmol/L figure you were taught is the wrong anchor. Marius explains how to find your own zone without a meter by triangulating heart rate, pace, and the talk test, then walks through a full Norwegian Method week from Sunday to Saturday. Two double-threshold days, one genuinely hard session, easy running held strictly under 70 percent of max heart rate. The logic behind stacking two threshold sessions into one day rather than scattering them across the week is the whole argument in miniature.Then the part most people skip when they copy the method: the muscular case. Marius argues that muscles, not the heart and lungs, cap how much training a runner can absorb, and that muscle tone is why some days feel effortless and others don't. He gets into why carbon-plated shoes are the first thing he checks when an injured runner walks into his clinic, where strength work belongs in the week, how he'd build a national-championship high school program, and where this method stops working.His three takeaways, unedited: run easy on the easy days, control intensity on the hard days, limit intense work to once a week. Then see what happens.Tap into the Marius Bakken Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

What if facing death could teach us how to live more fully?In this deeply moving episode of LivingToBe, I speak with Catherine Duncan, author, chaplain, ordained minister and long-time companion to the dying.Catherine's journey began at just ten years old, when she was diagnosed with childhood cancer. That early encounter with mortality led her into a private life of prayer and a profound awareness of the preciousness of life. Years later, a near-death experience while whitewater rafting changed the course of her life and ultimately led her away from a successful career in advertising and toward theology, spiritual direction and hospice care.Catherine has since accompanied hundreds of people through the final stages of life, as well as several members of her own family. Along the way, she has witnessed something remarkable: as people approach death, many of the things they once believed were important begin to fall away. What remains, she says, is love and forgiveness.In our conversation, we explore some of the deepest questions we can ask:What actually happens as we approach death?What might lie beyond this life?Can the dying teach us something about the soul and consciousness?What do people most regret leaving unresolved?And what can death teach us about how we should live today?Catherine's work offers a powerful reminder that death need not be something we simply fear or avoid. If we are willing to face it, it may become one of our greatest teachers.Because ultimately, this conversation isn't only about dying.It's about learning how to live.#LivingToBe #CatherineDuncan #WhatHappensAfterDeath #DeathAndDying #NearDeathExperience #LifeAfterDeath #Spirituality #Consciousness #Soul #EndOfLife #Hospice #GriefAndLoss #MeaningOfLife #LivingFully #Purpose #SpiritualJourney #Mindfulness #Love #Aging #LivingToBePodcastMore Information:https://www.catherineduncan.org/Book: Everyday Awakening

Most of us spend a surprising amount of energy dreading futures that never arrive. Fear has a way of turning possibilities into certainties, and challenges into giants before we've taken a single step forward. This week we'll discover how faith sees the same world as fear but reaches a very different conclusion.Scripture: Numbers 13:25–14:10**For the best uninterrupted livestream experience, participate in this week's sermon at nblc.net/sermons

What does "safe staffing" actually mean? We talk about safe staffing all the time, but is it simply a nurse-to-patient ratio? In the emergency department, where volume, acuity, and workload can change in minutes, the answer is so much more complicated. In this episode, Kevin and Dr. Wolf dig into the science of ED staffing and Lisa's latest research, on safe staffing in the emergency department. The conversation takes on one of the most common assumptions about staffing: that safety comes down to counting how many nurses are on the schedule. We all know two shifts can have the same numbers and go completely differently depending on experience, skill mix, teamwork, patient acuity, workload, and the systems backing up the team. Dr. Wolf's study asked more than 1,000 emergency nurses what actually makes an ED safe. Nurses identified 14 indicators of safety, but only eight were considered measurable, and what is worse is only three were routinely being measured in most emergency departments. So how can we claim to be "staffing safely" if we aren't measuring safety? Safe staffing is more complicated than filling holes on a schedule, but it may also be much more measurable and solvable than we think. Links to the staffing studies.  1.

Fear looks like an ocean. It looks like it will swallow you.Jay puts language on something a lot of people in BPD recovery already feel: the fear is a mile wide and an inch deep. From a distance it looks massive. After you take one step, you find out you can stand.In this episode of From Borderline to Beautiful, Rose and Jay talk about what actually gets you across that threshold — not more confidence first, but action. Confidence comes after you begin.We cover:Why fear looks like drowning when it is often a puddleWhy you do not need confidence before you actHow past experiences make a small step feel hugeWhy “I'm frustrated” is not the same as “I'm leaving”Fight, flight, and freeze — and what each one is protectingHow fear gets used to control, cover, or avoid being exposedTrading humiliation for patienceAligning your fight with the desire of your heart: a life worth living, not comfort in shameIf you keep waiting to feel ready, the fear stays wide. If you take the inch-deep step with your eyes open, you collect proof that you can stand.Try this after you listenName the fear in one sentence. What are you actually afraid will happen?Separate history from this moment. What is old, and what is here?Take one action that matches the life you want, not the comfort you know.After you do it, do not disqualify it. Own it.Fall Group – Starting September 30 I'm running a small fall group beginning September 30. Space is limited on purpose so participants can actually practice these skills with support and feedback.If you've been wanting structured work around emotion regulation, abandonment fear, and breaking the safety-behavior cycle, this group is designed for that.Individual session openings are also available if you prefer one-on-one work.Details: ⁠⁠thriveonlinecounseling.com⁠⁠Book a session with Rose or Jay: ⁠⁠⁠⁠thriveonlinecounseling.com⁠⁠⁠⁠Call/Text: 844-984-7483 (844-9-THRIVE)Fall group forming, register today!Podcast Website: thriveonlinecounseling.comFollow the show for more on BPD recovery, betrayal trauma, shadow work, values-based healing, and building authentic relationships.You are loved.

Brendan Housler explains that FTP isn't one system but reflects aerobic base, VO2 max “ceiling,” lactate handling, durability, and time to exhaustion, so raising threshold requires targeting your specific limiter instead of doing random FTP workouts. He prioritizes first building an endurance foundation (2–3 hour rides feeling fresh), then using VO2 max and over-unders, followed by supra-threshold work (just above FTP), and lastly steady-state TTE workouts (e.g., 3x20, 2x30, 1x45). He suggests using 5-minute power as a rough VO2 proxy and comparing FTP/5-min power (fractional utilization) to decide whether to focus on VO2 work or threshold, while noting anaerobic riders can skew 5-minute results. He emphasizes fueling key sessions, adjusting focus around race season, and maintaining year-round purpose by stacking training across seasons and years.Chapters:00:00 Stop Surviving Intervals00:47 FTP Is Multiple Systems02:59 Four Buckets Framework03:25 Base Before Intensity05:05 Find Your Limiter05:42 Ceiling Test With 5-Minute07:14 VO2 Max Workout Menu08:21 Supra Threshold Bridge09:41 Over Unders For Surges10:32 Build Time To Exhaustion11:54 Recap And Next Steps12:52 Sample Week And Caveats13:56 Fueling And Coaching Plugs15:14 Offseason Purpose And Wrap

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week's episode we conclude our three part journey through the seventeen stages of the heroes journey as laid out by Joseph Campbell in his seminal work “Hero with a Thousand Faces.” In the free section of the show we discuss THE ULTIMATE BOON which we explore in its various manifestations including the traditional narcotic coded drink of the gods and heroes; soma. We also discuss the reluctance to return from the journey (looking at you Odysseus), the magick shapeshifting flight and the occasional need (plot twist) for the hero to be rescued from without. In the extended show we Cross the Threshold and explore what exactly that means, if it's even possible to describe it; which is the next, difficult step which gives way to the journey coming full circle, the work accomplished and freedom rings once more.

“I'd rather do a race than a time trial as my first marathon. I went to New York during my off season last year just to see how it was. I got to feel the atmosphere and I was like: yeah, I want to do this.”My guest for today's episode is Andreas Almgren, who is the newly-minted European 10,000m champion and soon-to-be a first-time marathoner. On November 1st he will run the New York City Marathon for his debut at the distance.He's had a great past 12 months with four European records in that span: the 10K road in Valencia in January at 26:45 (puts him sixth on the world all-time list); the half marathon last October in 58:41 (the first European under 59 minutes); World Championships bronze in Tokyo last September, where he finished 0.25 seconds off gold; and a 5000m European record of 12:44 last outdoor season. He's one of the best in the world right now.Andreas is 31. He grew up in Sweden playing wing-back at AIK, one of the biggest clubs in the Nordics, and only turned to running full-time after recurring injuries ended that path at 18. He won World U20 bronze in the 800m in Eugene in 2014 and looked like Sweden's next great middle-distance runner — then spent four years with stress fractures, a broken navicular, a sacral stress fracture, missing more than he raced. In 2019, sitting on a stationary bike during rehab for that sacral fracture, he watched his friend Kalle Berglund make a world championship 1500m final using double threshold training. He copied it. He has been going up in distance ever since, and every time he steps up, he runs faster. He has been working toward the marathon for a while now.We dive into why he picked New York over Valencia, how his double threshold system has evolved over the last seven years, what it took to stay healthy the past two years, the training he is doing for the marathon right now and much more.____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSVELOUS: VELOUS makes recovery footwear designed to help runners bounce back faster between sessions.

Executive Summary In this Prosperity Podcast episode, Kim Butler and Spencer Shaw dig into what they call the freedom threshold, the point where a person has enough time freedom, money freedom, and relationship freedom to actually live on their own terms. Kim breaks freedom into two categories, freedom from things we no longer want to carry and freedom to the life we actually want, and explains why so many people can describe what they don't want but struggle to name what they do want. The conversation moves into how these priorities shift across life stages, from earning in your 20s and 30s to keeping in your 40s and 50s to questioning the very idea of retirement later on. Kim challenges the assumption that retirement at 65 still makes sense given today's life expectancies, and she draws a sharp line between financial independence and financial abundance. Kim also lays out the most common financial mistakes she sees at both ends of the income spectrum: low income earners who lock up their cash in retirement plans before they've built an emergency opportunity fund, and high income earners who over-invest without keeping enough liquidity to move when a real opportunity shows up. The episode closes with a reminder that clarity, not just cash flow, is what determines whether someone actually feels free.

[00:02:00 - 00:03:00] Spencer asks whether these freedoms shift with age, and Kim says it depends on mindset, not just years.  [00:03:00 - 00:04:00] Kim shares the story of an entrepreneur whose CPA reminded her, "It's just money, you can go earn more."  [00:04:00 - 00:05:00] Kim challenges the idea of retirement at 65, calling it a social construct from the 1930s. [00:05:00 - 00:06:00] Kim notes that "87 is the new 65," yet society remains stuck on outdated age expectations. [00:06:00 - 00:07:00] Spencer shares a story about a 90 year old friend who just bought a factory to launch business incubators. [00:07:00 - 00:08:00] Kim defines financial abundance as having enough to live, give, and serve with both time and money freedom. [00:07:30 - 00:08:00] Kim explains that financial freedom comes from confidence in your ability to earn, not a fixed number.

Shut the windows and change your mask filters, the Mad Gasser of Mattoon is prowling the podcast! A WWII-era midwestern mystery, the Mad Gasser of Mattoon held a small town in a gaseous grip of fear for 2 weeks with no explanation and few suspects. Panic took hold as locals tried to figure out what was happening in their small Illinois community. To this day, no one knows exactly who perpetrated a series of alleged gas attacks, nor has anyone found out why. Join David as he relates not only the timeline of the ‘phantom anesthetist,' but also similar attacks in different parts of the country throughout the years. Were they connected somehow or just coincidence? He also looks at what police and scientists have found, and whether or not anything has actually been explained over the years.
