In the fall of 1976, a woman vanished from her home in rural Vermont sometime between a cup of morning coffee and the end of an ordinary workday. What followed was years of suspicion, rumor, and silence until a witness with questionable credibility stepped forward. Laurie Gonyo's case has an ending but not the kind of clean resolution people imagine when they hear the word solved. This is a story about what happens when justice feels incomplete, when a sentence seems too small for the violence at the center of it, and when the killer in one case leaves a trail of suspicion wherever he goes. This episode discusses other unsolved cases with a shared suspect. If you have any information about the murder of Denise Dansby or Connie Sedam, please email the Volusia County Cold Case unit at ColdCaseUnitTips@volusiasheriff.gov.

The deal wasn't the problem—the debt was, and it nearly took everything down with it.Most investors focus on finding the right deal… but very few are prepared for what happens when the lender becomes the biggest risk in the room.In this conversation, we get into the realities operators faced over the past few years—where rising rates, shrinking margins, and rigid lenders forced hard decisions: inject more capital, negotiate under pressure, or risk losing everything.This isn't theory. It's what actually happens when deals get tight.If you're serious about building a multifamily business that survives market shifts—not just thrives in good times—this is the level of thinking you need.
Tips for maintaining that creative spark. TODAY'S QUESTION: Gentlemen, Let me get right to it. I love your work. Each one of you has made top shelf independently produced work. Comedy, music, games, podcasts. I can't imagine it has always been easy but hopefully, you've always found it rewarding. I've had the good fortune of publishing a handful of short stories in online journals and anthologies. I have long-term goals of self publishing a collection (with reasonable goals and even more reasonable expectations). Long term because I know how much work it will take to do it right. So how do I keep that indie motivation alive and well when it gets tough and no one is asking for the work? With all the love for what you do, Patrick LINKS Vote for the winning advice!

In this episode we answer emails from Ronald, George, Jeff. We celebrate episode 500 by sharing a few “Easter egg” resources, then jump into listener questions that cut through common investing myths. We discuss a portfolio for a non-profit, rant about TIPS with a Wall Street Journal article to back us up, and talk about various choices in withdrawal methods. And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Links:Fairfax CASA Donation Page: Donate - Fairfax CASARant Anthology Slides: Risk Parity Radio Rants Anthology.pdf - Google DriveFour Quadrant Video: The Four Quadrant Model and the True Meaning of Diversification.mp4 - Google DriveWSJ Article on TIPS: TIPS_ Inflation-Protected Bonds Dont Help You When Inflation Is High - WSJ Copy.pdf - Google DriveBernstein TIPS Article: Riskless at Age 104 - Articles - Advisor Perspectives ("A bond fund manager recently related to me his difficulty in figuring out the role of TIPS in his portfolios. After fumbling for a reply, I realized that he was right: like Social Security, they don't occupy a formal slot in most folks' asset allocation. . . .

Vasquez EconoMe 2026 Final Slides.pdf - Google DriveBreathless AI-Bot Summary:Episode 500 lands with a simple promise: fewer stories, more data, and portfolio choices that hold up when markets stop cooperating. We share a couple of nostalgic “Easter egg” extras from our back catalog, then dive into listener mail that hits the heart of modern portfolio construction for both individuals and institutions.First, we tackle a nonprofit investing question about moving from capital preservation to growth using a heavily value tilted stock mix. We break down what that allocation is really buying (small cap value, mid cap value, and a value lean in large caps), why it can shine over very long horizons, and why the same strategy can still test patience for a decade or more. If you've ever wondered how to balance expected return against real world tracking error, this section is for you.Then we hit the big rant: Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are not the inflation shield they're marketed to be. We walk through the Wall Street Journal's findings, the 2022 case study, and the bigger point that TIPS are still bonds with rate risk. We also talk about what has tended to help more in inflationary regimes, including commodities, value oriented equities, and managed futures, plus when a TIPS ladder might be a reasonable side tool.We wrap with a practical retirement planning question on withdrawal mechanics, why CPI based “inflation adjusted” spending is often misunderstood, and the other levers that matter as much as asset allocation.Support the show

In Episode 251: When Change Is the Right Move, I'm diving into a powerful and nuanced conversation about personal growth, missionary mindset, emotional resilience, and how to know when it's time to shift your thinking—or actually change your environment. So often, we hear simple advice like "just change your thoughts" or "just stay busy," but real transformation isn't always that straightforward. In this episode, I walk through the deeper patterns that shape how we think, feel, and show up—especially for preparing missionaries, currently serving missionaries, returned missionaries, and missionary moms navigating transitions, anxiety, discouragement, or identity shifts. I share a simple but powerful process for creating real change: awareness, education, and removing judgment. When you understand your thought patterns, why your brain is trying to protect you, and learn to offer yourself compassion instead of self-criticism, your beliefs begin to soften naturally. From there, change becomes possible—not forced. This is where emotional well-being, self-awareness, and confidence start to grow from the inside out, giving you tools to navigate the mission, post-mission life, relationships, and personal development with more clarity and agency. But here's where it gets even more interesting: sometimes growth doesn't come from changing your thoughts—it comes from changing your environment. In Episode 251: When Change Is the Right Move, I explain how to discern whether you're avoiding discomfort or intentionally interrupting a pattern to create new awareness, perspective, and forward movement. Whether you're questioning a relationship, struggling on your mission, or feeling stuck in your current situation, this episode will help you recognize that you are not powerless—you have the ability to choose your next step with confidence and intention. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends. 00:00 Intro 03:35 Why tools matter more than advice on the mission 05:46 The problem with "just change your thoughts" 09:44 Why deep patterns and beliefs are hard to shift 13:02 The 3-step process: awareness, education, removing judgment 16:16 How compassion helps patterns begin to shift 20:06 When changing your environment can create growth 23:24 How to know if you're avoiding or intentionally changing 27:20 Example: when feelings signal it's time to make a change 31:53 Final thoughts and invitation to choose your next step Website | Instagram | Facebook 5 Ways to Process Any Less-Than Happy Mission Memories Article: HERE Get the Full Show Notes and Text/PDF Transcripts: HERE Free PDF Download: Podcast Roadmap Free PDF Download: Preparing Missionary Cheat Sheet Free Training for Preparing Missionaries: Change Your Mission with this One Tool RM Transition Free Video Series: 3 Tools to Help RMs in Their Transition Home Free Guide: 5 Tips to Help Any Returning Missionary Schedule a Free Strategy Call: Click Here

If you've ever felt that gut punch… The side eye. The comment. The subtle (or not so subtle) message that your child is "too much"… or that you're somehow getting it wrong as a parent… I get it! In this episode of The Autism ADHD Podcast, I'm talking about something that so many parents and therapists experience… but we don't talk about enough: The "good kid / bad kid" narrative The "they were raised right" comments And the damage this causes for autistic and ADHD kids — and their families This episode was inspired by two real-life moments that happened just days apart… and they both reminded me how deeply rooted these beliefs are in our society. Here's what we dive into: Why behavior is often misunderstood (and what's actually underneath it) How neurological differences are mistaken for "bad behavior" Why shame is NOT a teaching tool (and what it actually does) The emotional toll on parents of autistic and ADHD children How masking develops — and why it can be dangerous Why families begin to withdraw and isolate The invisible, extraordinary work of neurodivergent parenting This episode is for you if: You're parenting an autistic or ADHD child and feel judged or misunderstood You're a therapist, counselor, or psychologist supporting neurodivergent kids You've ever wondered why your child's behavior doesn't "match" expectations You're trying to understand meltdowns, shutdowns, and emotional regulation You want a neurodiversity-affirming approach You are going to LOVE this episode:) Sincerely, Holly Blanc Moses, The Mom/Neurodivergent Therapist P.S. I've got more goodness for you!
You Don't Have to Lose Everything First: What Step One Really Teaches Us If you've ever looked at the 12 steps and thought that's not for me, you're not alone. I thought the same thing for years. The God stuff felt like a barrier. The word "powerless" felt insulting. And the idea that my life had to look like a wreck before I qualified? That kept me stuck longer than anything else. This week on the podcast, I sat down with Sonia Kahlon — founder of EverBlume and host of the Sisters in Sobriety podcast — to start working the 12 steps together, live, on air. Sonia has nearly nine years of sobriety and had never formally worked the steps. Sound familiar? She's doing it now, and we're bringing you along for the whole journey. What Powerlessness Actually Means Step One is this: We admitted we were powerless over alcohol — that our lives had become unmanageable. The key word most people miss is over alcohol. Not over your whole life. Not over your career or your relationships or your sense of self. Just over alcohol. When you look at the dictionary definition — powerless means without ability, influence, or resources — suddenly it clicks. Sonia said it perfectly: once I started drinking, I never knew how much I was going to drink. I told myself just one and ended up ten drinks in. Every single time. That's not a character flaw. That's powerlessness over a substance. Raising the Bottom One of the most powerful concepts we talked about is "raising the bottom." The 12 steps and 12 traditions describe it as sparing yourself the last 10 to 15 years of literal hell. You don't have to get a DUI, lose your marriage, or end up in a hospital before you decide to change. Sonia had what some call a "silk sheet bottom" — financially stable, healthy marriage, functioning career. But emotionally? She wanted to die. That's a bottom. It just didn't look like one from the outside. And that invisibility is exactly why so many high-functioning people wait too long. Sober vs. Recovered Here's something we don't talk about enough: you can be sober and still not be okay. Sonia and I talked about the difference between sobriety — not drinking — and recovery, which is the ongoing work of becoming emotionally healthy. You can have years of sobriety and still be running on old patterns, substituting one coping mechanism for another, and avoiding the deeper work. The steps are one path into that deeper work. Action Items: – Read Step One in the 12 Steps & 12 Traditions (free online) – Write down the dictionary definitions of "powerless" and "unmanageable" — then see how they apply to your drinking, not your whole life – List specific moments where you were powerless over alcohol — not your rock bottom stories, just examples where you couldn't keep a promise to yourself about drinking – Find a women's step study meeting near you (or online) and commit to going once Books & Resources Mentioned: – The 12 Steps and 12 Traditions (AA) – Alcoholics Anonymous (The Big Book) – The 12 Step Guide for Skeptics by Arlina Allen – EverBlume — online recovery support groups founded by Sonia Kahlon: https://everblume.com – Open Recovery — free Wednesday night meetings: https://openrecovery.app Need help applying this information to your own life?

Led by Executive Director Suresh Sundarababu, the organization serves as a lifeline for mission-driven founders determined to tackle societal challenges. In today's episode, I spoke with Suresh about the innovative approach at Swan, including how they're reimagining the world of angel investing.“We equally care about impact and return on investment,” Suresh explained. “Any good value proposition can also be good for the world.” Swan Impact's model creates opportunities for even smaller investors, lowering thresholds to democratize angel investing. For accredited investors, the required minimum investment is just $5,000—shattering traditional barriers to entry that often lock out purpose-driven individuals.Swan's approach also welcomes younger members into the ecosystem, providing them with the time and mentorship opportunities to participate meaningfully even before fully entering the world of angel investing. “The associate group… allows for those who care about impact, especially the younger generation, to come in,” Suresh shared.The organization actively supports high-impact businesses across sectors like clean tech, life sciences, financial empowerment, and education. Among its many success stories are Skyven Technologies, a clean tech company maximizing the efficiency of industrial steam use, and Binary Bridge, which offers portable medical records solutions for underserved, remote areas in developing countries.But Suresh insists Swan's role extends far beyond writing checks. He explained, “Writing a check is the least of what we want to be known for… More important are the knowledge share, the bouncing board that founders don't usually have.” Swan's ability to provide strategic guidance ensures the businesses they fund are not just surviving but thriving.Under Suresh's leadership, Swan Impact Network is proving that purpose and profit can go hand in hand. By opening doors for diverse founders and democratizing angel investing, the organization exemplifies how capital can be a force for good in the hands of those strongly committed to creating a better world.If you're looking to support—or become—a founder driven by purpose, Swan Impact Network might just be your next step.tl;dr:The Swan Impact Network combines meaningful social impact with financial returns to support mission-driven founders.Accredited investors can start with $5,000 investments, giving everyday people better access to angel investing.Swan provides mentorship and guidance, ensuring founders grow their businesses with strategic support.Suresh's superpower for scaling initiatives combines vision, strategy, and action for maximum impact.The associate program educates young members and diversifies angel investing for new generations.How to Develop Scaling for Impact As a SuperpowerSuresh's superpower is scaling initiatives for impact by quickly forming strategies and building teams. “At the most fundamental level, I'm a thinking partner when it comes to scaling anything,” Suresh explained. He highlighted his natural ability to blend strategy, vision, and action to expand organizational and personal impact. Whether scaling a startup, a team, or even parenting his two young boys, Suresh uses this innate skill to amplify positive outcomes.Suresh shared an anecdote about his time working at National Instruments, where he played an essential role in helping the company grow from $125 million in revenue to $750 million during his tenure. Describing the keys to this success, he highlighted the belief in shared purpose and working toward impactful goals in collaboration with smart, like-minded individuals. The culture of trust and the commitment to scaling responsibly defined this success narrative.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Craft a Personal Purpose Statement: Write down your purpose to clarify your priorities and sustain focus.Identify Your Unique Strengths: Reflect or ask others for feedback to uncover your natural talents.Stay Aligned With Your Values: When your work or impact detours from your purpose, be quick to course correct.Combine Vision With Action: Set long-term goals (your flag) while identifying concrete next steps to maintain momentum.Collaborate With Like-Minded Individuals: Surround yourself with people who share your values for increased synergy and trust.By following Suresh's example and advice, you can make scaling for impact a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileSuresh Sundarababu (he/him):Executive Director, SWAN Impact NetworkAbout SWAN Impact Network: SWAN, founded in 2015 in Austin, has grown into a multi-state 501(c)(3) nonprofit network of 120+ members who have invested over $18 million in impact-driven companies.

Have your heart set on freelancing? A lot of copywriters do. And that was Jen, too. She was freelance or bust. In fact, the last time we talked to her, she was thriving as a freelancer, making upwards of 10K/month while home schooling her kids. So, why the heck did she take an on-staff job?! When you're really clear on what you want and why you want it, you realize there are multiple ways to get there. For Jen, flexibility and freedom are the MOST important. But freelancing isn't the only way to get those things. If you've always felt like freelancing was the only way to hit your goals, you'll want to listen to Jen's update.

Dr. Michael Klaper returns to the Switch4Good podcast for a conversation that redefines what medicine can achieve when food is placed at the center of care. A physician, educator, and longtime leader in nutrition science, Dr. Klaper has advised NASA on dietary planning for space missions, appeared in documentaries including Cowspiracy, The End of Meat, and What the Health, and authored several foundational books on plant-based health. His latest work, Moving Medicine Forward: What More Doctors Should Know About Nutrition–and How It Can Save Your Life, challenges clinicians and patients alike to recognize food as essential therapy rather than secondary support. This episode also features special guest host Jane Velez-Mitchell, founder of UnchainedTV, who helps guide a conversation that will leave you with the tools to elevate your health and strengthen your well-being, starting today. What we discuss: Why nutrition remains a blind spot in modern medicine. Why pharmaceuticals are often prioritized over dietary intervention. How the new food pyramid was actually formed. Dr. Klaper's perspective on the Mediterranean diet. The most impactful first dietary change you can make to improve your health trajectory. The benefits of removing dairy from your diet. What drives inflammation and how the inflammatory process contributes to heart disease. The power consumers have to drive meaningful change.

This week, we wrapped up our five-episode series all about social life and friendship for neurodivergent homeschooled kiddos. Episode 311 digs into a topic many families experience but often don't have a name for: social hangovers—the aftermath of social time when kids (and adults!) crash, resist future invitations, or need days to recover. Key Takeaways Social hangovers are the nervous system's delayed response to social effort, especially common in neurodivergent kids who mask, self-monitor, and process a ton during interactions. Signs include: Irritability or emotional explosions Withdrawal/shutdown Physical complaints (headaches, stomachaches) Refusal of future plans Reframe the behavior: This isn't poor behavior—it's delayed processing, not avoidance. Build recovery plans BEFORE burnout happens! Include: Predictable ending times and visual cues Leaving while things are still going well Immediate decompression time (quiet, silence, snacks, audiobooks) Regulation through movement or sensory comfort No reflection or questions until after decompression Proactive Strategies Know your child's social energy window—how long they can handle interactions before going into yellow or red zones. Support with lighter academic loads or more autonomy the day after social events. Avoid stacking multiple social events together; buffer days matter! Teach kids to name their feelings and advocate for breaks without shame.

I'm excited to welcome Dr. Peter Osborne for a two-part series. Most of us grew up hearing that whole grains are good for us. But what if that's wrong? Today, in Part One, Dr. Osborne breaks down how his book, No Grain No Pain, challenges almost everything we've been told about healthy eating. He clarifies what grains are actually doing inside our body, and why he believes they're foundational to many chronic illnesses. Tips to reduce immune reactions from grains and gluten Track your reactions and consider eliminating all grains if your symptoms persist on a standard gluten-free diet Limit your use of medications that erode the gut lining Address nutrient deficiencies and chemical exposure Change your diet and lifestyle instead of relying on medications Bio: Dr. Peter Osborne Dr. Peter Osborne is one of the most sought-after alternative and nutritional experts in the world. He is the founder of the Gluten-Free Society, the world's #1 resource for all things gluten. In addition, he is the author of the bestselling book, No Grain No Pain, published by Touchstone (aka Simon & Schuster). He has been featured in or on Fox News, CBS, PBS, New York Post, US News, Muscle & Fitness Hers, The Journal of Gluten Sensitivity, and many other nationally recognized publications. And most recently, he has been working on a special project- a mold documentary called Mold Jacked. In this episode: Why gluten is far more complex than most people realize How standard gluten tests can fail to detect many reactions Some common gluten-free dietary mistakes Why only removing wheat may not resolve ongoing inflammation How grains other than wheat can still drive an immune response Four main triggers, apart from gluten, that contribute to autoimmune conditions How a breached gut barrier causes hypersensitized immune responses Why certain symptoms may take decades to appear despite ongoing damage Links and Resources: Use code HEALGUT to get 10% off GI Support Use code TURMERIC to get 10% off TURMERIC Use code IGG to get 10% off SB IGG Guest Social Media Links: Instagram YouTube Mold Jacked Gluten Free Society Relative Links for This Show: Follow Your Longevity Blueprint On Instagram| Facebook| Twitter| YouTube | LinkedIn Get your copy of the Your Longevity Blueprint book and claim your bonuses here Find Dr. Stephanie Gray and Your Longevity Blueprint online Follow Dr. Stephanie Gray On Facebook| Instagram| Youtube | Twitter | LinkedIn Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic Podcast production by Team Podcast

On this episode of the Live Greatly podcast, Kristel Bauer sits down with Tommy and Will Higham, co-founders of Lola Blankets, a rapidly growing home brand in the U.S., known for blending comfort, community, and purpose-driven growth. What started as a deeply personal mission—honoring their mother, Amy ("Lola"), after she passed away from breast cancer—has evolved into a brand that has sold hundreds of thousands of blankets, built a loyal community, and donated over $500,000 to breast cancer charities. Kristel, Tommy, and Will explore the story behind Lola Blankets' rapid rise, what it takes to build an authentic and emotionally connected brand, and the mindset shifts that support sustainable success as entrepreneurs. They also share insights into managing stress as founders, and staying grounded while scaling a fast-growing company. Tune in for an inspiring conversation on entrepreneurship, resilience, and building something meaningful that resonates. Key Takeaways From This Episode: How Lola Blankets was created from a deeply personal story and purpose Why community and emotional connection are central to brand growth The role of authenticity in building trust and long-term success What has fueled Lola Blankets' rapid growth Creative approaches to marketing and standing out in a crowded space Tips for entrepreneurs looking to build and scale a meaningful brand Tips for how founders can manage stress and sustain performance while growing a business ABOUT WILL & TOMMY HIGHAM Tommy and Will Higham, the co-founders of Lola Blankets—one of the fastest-growing home brands in America that's redefining what a "cozy" company looks like. At just four years old, Lola Blankets sold 600,000 blankets in a single month last November and completely sold out within 48 hours. With 20,000+ five-star reviews and over $500,000 donated to breast cancer charities, this isn't just a bedding company—it's a brand built on emotional connection, bold marketing, and purpose-driven growth. For background, the brand launched in 2021 and was created in honor of their mother, Amy—nicknamed "Lola"—who found comfort in her faux-fur blanket while battling breast cancer. Tommy, a designer and social media creative, built Lola's distinct aesthetic and cult-favorite brand identity. Will, a former management consultant, architected the operational scale behind explosive growth. Together, they've transformed a traditionally "sleepy" category with unexpected, fashion-forward marketing—becoming the first home brand to stage a fashion show during NYFW and even gifting Polaris RZRs to top creators to drive sales momentum. They've collaborated with names like Tezza, Aviator Nation, and LANY—and often maintain waitlists for their machine-washable faux-fur blankets.

It feels like every week, another Denver restaurant is closing – Enzo's End Pizzeria served its last slice on Friday, Imperial Chinese shuttered out of the blue after 41 years, and local chain Little India announced it will close its 32nd Ave. and Lowell Blvd. location in the coming months. Is it due to rising food costs? The ongoing concern of high rents? Or, is it the price of labor? Last month's 2025 State of Denver Restaurants Report points to the city's rising tipped minimum wage as a major issue for restaurants, bars, and cafes; Councilman Darrell Watson has even hinted at a plan to address labor costs. But Lindsay Dalton, co-owner of The Weathervane Cafe, disagrees and she's part of a growing chorus of business owners who are pushing back. She joins host Bree Davies to make her case. Lindsay mentioned the city's 2023 minimum wage report and Matthew Fritz-Maur, who runs the Denver Labor division of the Denver Auditor's office and who was on the podcast in 2023 talking about his investigation into wage theft at strip clubs. Weathervane Cafe was previously featured in a New Yorker article last year about President Trump's ‘No Tax on Tips' policy. We reached out to Denver Labor to ask more about Fritz-Maur's critiques of the restaurant report. He was unable for comment, but a spokesperson shared this fact sheet their office has prepared and the following statement about that document: “We compiled it as restaurants have reached out to us with questions about [Colorado Restaurant Association's] information and generally about the tip credit. We have multiple times asked CRA for their source material to support their findings and they have not yet provided it to us. The Auditor's Office and Denver Labor is neutral on the issue of adjusting the tip credit, but we feel it is our responsibility to provide business owners and the public with independent research to make informed decisions.” For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter at denver.citycast.fm.
