Podcast appearances and mentions of TJ Maxx

Commercial real estate offers unparalleled wealth-building opportunities, but executing a massive value-add strategy requires immense stamina, risk capital, and a clear vision. In this episode, we break down the acquisition and stabilization of Pirate Plaza, a 65,000 square foot shopping center in Oklahoma initially purchased at just $12 per square foot with only 30% occupancy.The discussion reveals the hard-fought lessons of navigating complex lease negotiations with national credit tenants like TJ Maxx and Harbor Freight, including the absolute necessity of hiring specialized legal and consulting teams. Furthermore, we explore the often-overlooked strategy of partnering with local city governments and economic development offices to secure vital project funding, such as forgivable loans, ensuring a profitable revitalization.KEY TOPICS DISCUSSEDValue-add commercial real estate acquisition and stabilization strategies.Transforming a 30% occupied retail center into a high-performing asset.The process of negotiating long-term leases with national credit tenants like TJ Maxx and Harbor Freight.Leveraging public-private partnerships to secure municipal funding and forgivable loans.The critical role of specialized commercial real estate attorneys and consultants in mitigating risk.Upgrading asset valuation through triple net leases and investment-grade tenant placement.KEY TAKEAWAYSVision acts as an investor's greatest competitive advantage when acquiring underperforming assets that require significant structural and tenant turnarounds.Securing national credit tenants is a complex, heavily scrutinized process that demands specialized legal representation to navigate 100-page leases and avoid leaving money on the table.City governments possess economic development budgets and tools like forgivable loans, making them highly valuable capital partners for community-enhancing commercial projects.The most lucrative real estate deals intentionally filter out competition through long timelines, high complexity, and substantial capital requirements.Surrounding yourself with expert advisors, from retail leasing attorneys to specialized lenders, acts as a critical force multiplier for successful commercial executions.CONNECT & TAKE ACTIONWealth Intelligence Brief: Text "WIB" to 844-447-1555 to get Matty's free macro data, real estate intel, and crypto signals delivered to your inbox 3 times a week.Imagos Income Fund: Text "INCOME" or "DEALS" to 844-447-1555 to learn more about Matty A's private debt fund targeting 10% fixed returns paid out monthly.

In this episode of the Uploft Interior Design, I shared a candid update on my hectic week as I prepared for my college reunion while juggling work, family obligations, and even an unexpected eye stye that thankfully was treated just in time. I took listeners behind the scenes of several recent interior design projects, including helping busy Brooklyn clients maximize storage, creating transformative room layouts for a blended family in Larchmont, working through the challenges of designing for a close friend, and solving unique design dilemmas for clients with very specific lifestyles and decorating goals. Along the way, I reflected on the realities of client relationships, the importance of thoughtful space planning, my evolving appreciation for styling and accessorizing, and the creative problem-solving that makes interior design so rewarding. I wrapped up by sharing a few memorable client stories and expressing excitement—and a little nervousness—about the reunion and the week ahead.

From their home kitchen to a multi-million dollar empire

In this episode of The Retail Pilot, Ken sits down with Pete Nordstrom – Co-CEO of the 125-year-old fashion retailer – to unpack the eight-year journey to go private, the strategic partnership with Liverpool that made it possible, and what's actually changed since May 2025. They explore why the Saks-Neiman Marcus merger created an opening Nordstrom is now seizing, how the Rack is scaling toward 25+ new stores a year, and where AI is genuinely moving the needle. Pete is candid about the failed 2017 take-private attempt, the Canada expansion that became his generation's "biggest black eye," and why no department store has ever successfully exported its model abroad. This is a conversation about staying relevant across generations, competing with Amazon and Walmart, and the unglamorous discipline of just trying to be the best Nordstrom you can be.In this episode you'll learn:Why Nordstrom went private in May 2025, and why the 2017 attempt failedHow the Liverpool partnership came together: 51% Nordstrom family, 49% Liverpool, zero pressure to merge or exitThe real downsides of being a public company: morale, distraction, governance overhead, and a stock price tied to a struggling sector narrativeWhat's actually changed day-to-day since going private and the one thing Pete misses about public-company rigorWhy Pete sees the Saks-Neiman's merger as a once-in-a-generation opportunity for Nordstrom to capture market shareHow Nordstrom is winning brand partnerships, top talent (like Yumi Shin from Bergdorf Goodman), and customers from struggling competitorsThe Rack expansion strategy: 25 stores this year, with capacity to potentially open 50 annuallyWhy Nordstrom Rack competes more with Macy's than with TJ Maxx—and what that means for store growthThe competitive reality of Amazon and Walmart in beauty, marketplace, and replenishment, and why Nordstrom can't get left behindWhy Nordstrom's marketplace (launched 18 months ago) is one of the company's biggest untapped growth leversThe Canada lesson: Why no department store has ever succeeded outside its home country – and what Pete learned from tryingWhat Pete hopes will be true at Nordstrom's 150th anniversary – and why agility matters more than any specific planDon't forget to subscribe to The Retail Pilot podcast for more conversations with retail industry leaders and visionaries shaping the future of commerce.If you missed our last episode, where Mickey Drexler tells all on how he operates with startup intimacy and five decades of wisdom, be sure to tune in.Connect with Ken:-Follow Ken Pilot Ventures on LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube. Hosted on Ausha.

Off-price and value retail is often misunderstood. A lot of founders think of it as a last resort for excess inventory, but it can actually be a strategic channel for discovery, customer acquisition, and incremental revenue.In this episode, I talk with Matt Goldbloom, Founder and CEO of Common Shelf, about how brands can approach retailers like TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Ross, Burlington, and HomeGoods with the right strategy. We break down what buyers are looking for, how the treasure hunt model works, and how founders can think about pricing, packaging, and protecting brand equity.We also get into how Matt is building a lean team using global talent and AI-supported workflows to move faster and reduce founder bottlenecks.This episode is sponsored by Plus Forty, which helps CPG brands and service providers build lean, reliable teams with vetted global talent.Exclusive Foodbevy Offer: Plus Forty is giving 2 brands 5 free VA hours with no upfront costs.

Ever wonder where those viral packaged foods and beverages go once the hype dies? Welcome to the grocery aftermarket…and it's thriving partly because the TikTok “Bullwhip Effect” is seemingly in overdrive. And that virality can trigger thousands of orders in hours, causing CPG brands to rush (now inflated) production runs. Although by the time the inventory hits warehouses and retail shelves, the internet has moved on. In fact, almost three out of every four Gen Z and Millennial shoppers report “buyer's remorse within six months of trend-driven purchases.” This consumer "cooling" leads to a rapid drop in retail velocity…thus forcing CPG brands and grocery retailers to clear remaining stock through secondary liquidators like TJ Maxx or Ollie's Bargain Outlet. Obviously, seeing those premium, organic, and/or functional products for like 75% off can ruin brand equity…but I'd argue overall categorical value perceptions can be impaired when certain product subcategories (especially nascent ones) flood aftermarket retailers. Regardless, which CPG brand have you surprisingly seen in the “discard” bins lately?

In an exciting Talk It with Brockett, Alana's friend Jake Petrie, drove 2 hours from Connecticut to join her in the studio for the pod. They talk about everything from pets, their friendship, Barney, and of course, working at TJ Maxx together.

We will be seeing him onstage receiving his award at RISKWORLD. It's Tyler Vaughan.  [3:11] Tyler has already made an impact on the risk profession and RIMS. We're going to learn about what it took to lead the Northeast Ohio Chapter to greatness, mentors who have lifted him, and how his RIMS participation has made him a more confident risk leader. Let's get to it! [3:31] Interview! 2026 RIMS Rising Risk Professional Tyler Vaughan, welcome to RIMScast! [3:48] Tyler says he appreciates being named the RIMS 2026 Rising Risk Professional. It's humbling and a bit surreal. [3:64] Tyer looks back to when he joined the industry in 2018 as an intern. He joined the Northeast Ohio RIMS Chapter. He didn't think risk management was a profession where you expect public recognition; most of it happens behind the scenes. [4:12] Tyler says in risk management, success often looks like nothing bad happened. Within different corporations, you're protecting against bad things happening. To have RIMS recognize Tyler as the RIMS 2026 Rising Risk Professional means a lot to him. He's very thankful for it. [4:37] Justin says there are several professions where the idea is that no news is good news. If you don't get any feedback, that means you're doing everything fine. Justin says an award like this, and all the RIMS awards, are nice and well-deserved. [5:19] Tyler tells how he became involved in risk management. He was studying corporate financial management at the University of Akron College of Business. The professor of a challenging course held an informational session on risk management and insurance. [5:58] Tyler wasn't interested until the professor announced pizza and bonus points. Tyler couldn't turn that down. The professor, Dr. Jill Bisco, comes from the industry. She had been on the carrier side for many years. She was one of Tyler's first mentors. He still talks to her. [6:17] At that informational session, Tyler learned of how much opportunity the risk management and insurance industry has. He signed up for more information that day. [6:26] Dr. Bisco talked about Gamma Iota Sigma, the collegiate actuarial science risk management business fraternity. Tyler signed up to be an officer. [6:39] Tyler went through the chartering ceremony the next semester, and then the University of Akron officially adopted a risk management insurance program, and Tyler was one of the first students to sign up for that path. [6:50] Pizza and bonus points are still relevant to college students. Tyler says, take advantage of those opportunities. You never know what might come from it. Tyler later organized sessions with food. He used Chick-fil-A when pizza didn't bring a good crowd. [7:24] The Risk Management and Insurance Program at the University of Akron had an event called Risky Business, where they brought in different industry professionals. [7:33] One of those industry professionals was Kristen Peed. Tyler was looking for an internship. Kristen was looking for her umbrella after the event, and Tyler took it to her and asked her name. Tyler says pizza, bonus points, and an umbrella got him where he is today. [8:08] Kristen had just come off the board of the Northeast Ohio Chapter. Justin says Kristen was on the RIMS board for years and is the RIMS Immediate Past President. [8:36] Kristen taught Tyler that risk management is about people. She balances technical expertise with emotional intelligence. Tyler learned from her that the best professionals are the ones who can translate complexity into clarity and build trust across the organization. [8:56] Tyler says, across the industry, it's all about relationships. Kristen taught him that early on. Kristen has had many interns, and they share a community, and she connects with each of them, so they have a network within a network. [9:13] Kristen taught Tyler that we're only as successful as those that we bring up in the industry as well. It's full-circle for Tyler, now being seven years out of college, and giving back to whom he gives now. Any time someone reaches out to Kristen, Kristen loops Tyler in. They talk weekly. [9:44] Throughout the steps Tyler has taken in his career, Kristen has been there. It means something to find that mentor with whom you really connect, whether it be through RIMS Mentor Match or local university mentors. [9:59] You may go through some that aren't an exact fit, and that's OK. Mentorship can't be forced. Look for that person that you want to learn from, build from, and find success from. [10:25] Tyler says he is far more comfortable in public speaking now because of his experiences with Kristen and his experiences in risk management than when he joined the profession. Tyler avoided taking a public speaking class that was offered in high school. He was not extroverted. [10:56] Tyler was somewhat shy going into college. In going to the risk management and insurance pizza and bonus points session, he was nervous to meet people. But it was the push to get out of his comfort zone. [11:14] Dr. Jill Bisco, Kristen Peed, and other mentors taught Tyler that pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone is where you grow as a professional and personally. Tyler has made not only industry connections but also some of his best friends by putting himself out there. [11:38] Public speaking still makes Tyler a little nervous. He says it's cool to look back and see how much he has grown as a professional by putting himself out there. [12:24] Tyler went to the University of Akron and then started on the carrier/underwriting side as an underwriter. He went through a graduate development program at Westfield Insurance, close to home. [12:43] Tyler learned small business underwriting at Westfield and moved to Zurich for middle market underwriting. From there, a mentor of his from Akron University, Kirk Gross of Safelite, came to Tyler with an entry-level opportunity as a Business Continuity Analyst. [13:14] From there, Tyler has grown to where he is today. After Safelite, Tyler was with Avery Dennison as an Insurance Risk Analyst. Now he is with Cook Group, which owns Cook Medical, in Indianapolis. [13:31] Tyler's focus has been depth and versatility. He wants to continue to strengthen his technical foundation. He's gaining exposure across many areas, being a risk manager at a large company in the medical space. [13:47] This exposure includes operational risk, governance, and resilience. It's about emerging risks and how much they've changed recently. In the long term, Tyler hopes to play a role in shaping how organizations integrate risk into strategic-level decision-making. [14:02] Tyler would love to lead a team, continue to mentor the younger professionals, and continue doing what he can for the profession, whether it's leadership or workforce development, and change what the future of this industry looks like. [14:23] Tyler has been sitting on the RIMS Rising Risk Professional Advisory Group for five years. He notes that it has changed a lot. It's an ever-evolving landscape that Tyler wants to contribute to, long-term. [14:43] Tyler says risk management and insurance has been a conservative-minded industry. He would like to see it having an inclusive mindset, moving forward, working in different types of teams, and taking on different types of risks. [14:55] Tyler says risk management is not just buying insurance, it's protecting against the unknown geopolitical environment, the macroeconomic environment, and cyber. When Tyler joined this industry seven years ago, it was totally different. It takes a proactive mindset. [16:22] A Quick Break!

[16:51] Let's Return to Our Interview with RIMS 2026 Rising Risk Professional Tyler Vaughan! [17:21] Tyler mentions some unknowns regarding the Middle East: supply chain risk, physical personnel risk, and cyber. Cyber was a new risk when Tyler joined the industry.  [17:41] Tyler did a course in college on the TJ Maxx data breach of the late 2000s. He thought that every company is protected against this now; we aren't going to see a data breach again. Everyone can see that's not the case. The unknowns of cyber keep Tyler interested. [18:40] Unknowns can slow things down. Geopolitical conflict potentially affects every business unit within the corporation: HR, Marketing, the supply chain, and procurement. For your company's success, you protect against disruption with insurance and strategic conversations. [19:24] Tyler entered the risk profession just as COVID was hitting. He says he joined Westfield and had training in a classroom before getting a desk. Then they were told that they were going to work from home for a couple of weeks. He never went back to the office at Westfield. [20:43] Tyler says working from home took self-motivation. In the first couple of months. Tyler didn't have the collaboration of meeting with underwriters, management, and leadership at the company that he needed to learn the profession. [21:16] Thinking back to his college time, Tyler says that for students, it must have been very different to excel in a remote environment. [21:56] Students often ask Tyler if he knows of any fully remote opportunities. Tyler was fully remote at Safelite. He needed personal interactions. He suggests a hybrid approach. In the early stages of a career, for learning, be in the office for a couple of years before going fully remote. [23:27] A hybrid approach is Tyler's favorite. Be strategic about the times when everyone is in the office versus remote. That's how Tyler looks at the future environment. [23:57] Another Quick Break! The Spencer Educational Foundation's Risk Manager on Campus application period is now open, and it will close on June 30th. Grant awardees, colleges, and universities are typically notified in September. [24:23] The Course Development Grant application deadline for Interval Number 2 will be on June 15th, 2026. Award notifications will be sent out in late July. [24:38] General Grant applications will open on May 1st, 2026, and the application deadline is July 30th. Internship Grant applications open on August 15th and close on October 15th. [24:50] Links to each of these grants are in this episode's show notes. Visit SpencerEd.org for more information. [24:58] Let's Conclude Our Interview with RIMS 2026 Rising Risk Professional Tyler Vaughan! [25:15] Tyler says he's excited to receive his award, but there's a lot of pressure to be on stage in front of the global risk community at RISKWORLD. What if he tripped? He was emailing Joshua Salter of RIMS. Joshua assured him they would walk him through it, don't even think about it. [25:35] Tyler says it's so cool to have that network behind him and the support he has had through his career thus far. He thinks receiving that award will be very full-circle. He can't wait to see future professionals win the award. He recalls his friend Megan Smalter winning it last year. [26:08] Tyler says it's different seeing your friends succeed. You find real value in that. He hopes his friends who attend RISKWORLD will apply next year. [27:26] Tyler says in-office exposure is important for preserving the risk knowledge from some of the seasoned professionals, so their techniques and wisdom are not lost when they retire. Take advantage of one-on-ones with other experienced professionals besides your direct leader. [27:46] Learn through documentation, informal mentoring, and collaborative problem-solving. Individuals who have been there longer than you are there to help you learn. They want to see you succeed. [27:58] Tyler suggests being proactive about how you reach out to individuals and to keep this knowledge in notes. Tyler started writing on a notepad. Now he uses a shared drive. If you move to a new opportunity, transfer your notes from your work computer to the people you leave. [28:37] Be strategic and meet as many professionals as you can. Introduce yourself. Tyler recently told students at a Spencer event to have their elevator speech ready. Know whom you want to talk to and take advantage of that. [29:08] Tyler is a judge on the Spencer Risk Challenge. There are very talented students coming from around the world to present. It's very interesting to hear the different ways they think about the case study. Tyler loves engaging with the students. [29:39] Tyler says that last year's team from South Africa came to support the South African team in the Top Eight this year. It's awesome that RIMS partners with Spencer on the Challenge. [30:07] Justin notes that Megan Miller of Spencer Educational Foundation has been on RIMScast speaking of the Spencer events lined up for RISKWORLD. [30:43] Tyler says to young risk professionals, don't be discouraged if you don't have it all figured out at first, whether it's the job or your path in the industry. There's no one correct way to go about this industry on the carrier side, risk management, or broker side. [31:08] It's what you make it. The opportunities are here, so you do not have to settle. If you're not in the right fit, you can explore your opportunities. If you need more knowledge, don't be afraid to ask questions. It means something to know that you're utilizing your resources to learn. [31:45] Invest in relationships. Your network is your net worth. It takes time and effort to build your brand and who knows you. Tyler says it's worth it in the long run, and you make some of your best friends. [32:19] Justin reminds us that Michael Strahan is the closing keynote at RISKWORLD. Tyler hopes to meet him backstage. Adam Grant is the opening keynote. Lots of other highly-regarded people will also present at RISKWORLD. [33:08] Tyler says the opening session is always a grand time where you will see everyone who will be attending. [33:15] Recently, Tyler worked with the Rising Risk Professional Advisory Group to create the Rising Risk Professional/Student Track. That will be uploaded to the RISKWORLD site and app. The group was strategic about the best sessions to suggest to students. Tyler will attend. [33:59] Tyler says the Student Networking Luncheon has grown since he attended as a student. That is an event for all the students to attend. Probably upwards of 120 people will attend. [34:22] It's a roundtable session where industry professionals will move from table to table to tell you their story in this industry and answer questions. If you're not able to attend some of the other sessions on the student track, attend this luncheon. [34:42] Justin says we've got links to that with the information in this episode's show notes. [34:55] Tyler, thank you so much for joining us! It's obviously a well-deserved award for you this year. I look forward to meeting you in person, in Philadelphia, and seeing you continue to do great things for the risk community!

Kendra admitted that sometimes when she goes shopping and doesn't have time to buy the item right away, she will tuck it away in other departments, like behind the luggage or in between the towels... Does anyone else do this??

Listener Belinda works in Homegoods and told Kendra to stop hiding things in the wrong department!

Listener Tanya called in and agreed with Kendra that she also hides future purchases!

This episode is part nine in an ongoing series about brands and how they influence our identities and drive consumerism.

Welcome to this soft-spoken ASMR TJ Maxx haul where I will share the latest home decor, bath items, and cute pajamas I found. I will also share at the end a mini bonus haul of my new running gear. I hope you enjoy the clothing, fabric, and crinkle sounds.

We're creating our Mount Rushmores this week and it's getting controversial. Well... for us. We ranked our top four fast food items, Counselor Zachariah's favorite places to just walk around, and then Counselor Jonathan built an Anti Mount Rushmore of his most hated fictional characters of all time. Some of you will agree, and some of you will be on the wrong side of Shady Birch history. Either way, leave a comment I guess. Then we've got an 80-year-old cafe owner who spent a month baking a 6,000-pound carrot cake for his birthday. The Philadelphia airport set a Guinness World Record by lining up 1,291 cheesesteaks between terminals (kind of a nightmare imo). We're also ranting about a dog that would not stop barking in a hotel room, having an anxiety attack at TJ Maxx, why fireflies are the greatest bug alive, and Lisa Kudrow's The Comeback deserves more love. Its a fabulous episode, duh.This episode was mixed and edited by Kevin Betts.Want BONUS CONTENT? Join our PATREON!Works Cited:➜ Hooper, Ben.

A single data breach now costs a business an average of $1.4 million, according to the annual IBM report. For a small or medium-sized business (SMB), this hit is often terminal—most companies that suffer a major breach struggle to stay in business longer than six months.In this episode, Matt "Heff" Heffelfinger, Director of SOC Operations at SecurityMetrics, joins us to discuss why many business owners are operating under a false sense of security. We dive into the "Insurance Trap," where carriers deny claims because basic security activities weren't performed, and outline the four critical areas where every small IT team should focus their limited resources.We're moving past the technical jargon of Security Operations Centers (SOC) to give you a practical, budget-friendly roadmap for cyber hygiene that actually protects your bottom line.Key Takeaways:The Insurance Reality Check: Why having a policy isn't enough if you aren't doing the "basics".The 4 Pillars of SMB Focus: Matt breaks down the essential tasks for a team of one: Access Control, Network Scanning, Patch Management, and Basic Cyber Hygiene.Automating Your Defense: How to make one IT person feel like an entire "battalion" using inexpensive automation tools.The 10% Rule: Why allocating 10% of your IT budget to cybersecurity is the tipping point for graduating from "check-the-box" compliance to real security.Anatomy of a SOC: What happens when threat hunters find an "Event of Interest," such as unauthorized traffic heading to Russia at 3:00 AM.The AI Threat: How bad guys are upscaling and automating their attacks, making SMBs easier targets than ever before.About Our Guest:Matt Hessel is a Utah-based cybersecurity professional and the Director of SOC Operations at SecurityMetrics. With a career spanning over 20 years—starting at the helpdesk at TJ Maxx and Marshalls during their historic 2006 breach—Matt brings a unique "boots on the ground" perspective to protecting small businesses.Resources Mentioned:SecurityMetrics SOC Services: https://www.securitymetrics.com/pulseIBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2025: https://www.ibm.com/think/insights/data-matters/cost-of-a-data-breachSecurityMetrics Certifications:PCI QSA | ASV | PFI | HITRUST | Forensic InvestigatorA note from Jen: We built Practical Cybersecurity because we were tired of the fear-mongering in this industry.

The DOJ drops over 3 million Epstein files, AI makes it harder to tell what's real, and the world is increasingly hard to take seriously. In this episode, I talk about why everything is meant to destabilize you right now and how to stay grounded without checking out completely.We get into the Epstein files, the disturbing images and emails circulating online, and why this information is so unsettling on a psychological and spiritual level. We briefly set aside my intention to stay positive this year and get angry over how few people are held accountable, the frustration of watching it unfold in real time, and the numb feeling that sets in when you realize there's very little you can actually do about it.Then we pivot to current events including:Savannah Guthrie's mom Nancy going missing and the full timelineMilan Winter Olympics ski jumper controversy that sounds unrealGetting hustled at TJ Maxx and pranked by my sisterFarmers Open golf tournament and Super Bowl 60 weekend plansTrump trending, the Westminster Dog Show, and the Nike x Skims collabAPPLE PODCASTS » https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-jacqueline-monroe-show/id1530705758?uo=4 SPOTIFY » https://open.spotify.com/show/4ijzUBunTIHgVmahB0ISEN GOOGLE PODCASTS» https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy8zNGYwMzZjYy9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw== BREAKER » https://www.breaker.audio/the-jacqueline-monroe-show

Then we talk life updates. Home stuff I'm loving, current girly obsessions, pasta-making progress, and a road trip to Julian, CA that includes pie, a creepy bookstore, and thoughts on small-town America in the internet age.

In the news, we cover Seattle Seahawks vs. New England Patriots Super Bowl 60 excitement, why Harry Styles' new song isn't doing it for me, and Brooklyn Beckham airing out his family drama via Instagram Stories. We close with a serious conversation about ICE protests, including the Minneapolis fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renée Good, federal agent violence, leadership failures, and why two things can be true at once. Reform matters. Protests matter. But provoking poorly trained agents and acting shocked when it turns dangerous isn't smart.

In the news, we cover Seattle Seahawks vs. New England Patriots Super Bowl 60 excitement, why Harry Styles' new song isn't doing it for me, and Brooklyn Beckham airing out his family drama via Instagram Stories. We close with a serious conversation about ICE protests, including the Minneapolis fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renée Good, federal agent violence, leadership failures, and why two things can be true at once. Reform matters. Protests matter. But provoking poorly trained agents and acting shocked when it turns dangerous isn't smart. Sometimes being a functioning adult means minding your business, drinking water, and going to work.REVIEW THE SHOW ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ https://open.spotify.com/show/4ijzUBunTIHgVmahB0ISEN BECOME A PATRON! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/tjms⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ KEEP IN TOUCH!INSTAGRAM »⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/jacquelinemonroe/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TIKTOK » jacqueline.monroe EMAIL THE SHOW!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ tjmsshow@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MY MUSIC GUY⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://soundcloud.com/robmonmusic⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Snakes. This is your moment. Time to shed what no longer serves you. Old habits, emotional clutter, or perhaps the platter your best friend lovingly and thoughtfully gifted you. Sarah has officially become a corkboard lady - a triumph!

You're listening to Burnt Toast! I'm Virginia Sole-Smith. Today, my conversation is with the one and only Melani Sanders. Melani is a digital creator and the fearless founder of the We Do Not Care movement. If you are a woman in your 40s, 50s and beyond, you are very likely already in this club. Melani's viral club meeting videos, where she runs down a list of everything "We just do not care about anymore," are the kind of thing that my friends are constantly sharing and dropping in our group chats, and I'm sure it's the same for you. Melani perfectly articulates the pressures we're under, and when she names it, it feels easier to let it go. So I loved this conversation. Welcome to the Burnt Toast chapter of the We Do Not Care Club. Let's get this meeting started.If you enjoy this conversation, a paid subscription is the best way to support our work!Join Burnt Toast!

It's Wednesday, December 3rd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Thailand orders Christian back to Vietnam to likely torture Last Wednesday, a court in Thailand ordered that a Christian activist and asylum seeker must be sent back to Vietnam. Y Quynh Bdap, the co-founder of Montagnards Stand for Justice, faces a 10-year sentence in Vietnam for alleged anti-Communist activities.   International Christian Concern noted, “If extradited to Vietnam, he will likely face torture, violence, and imprisonment. … This will set a dangerous precedent for the thousands of other Christian refugees in Thailand who could also be extradited to their home country, where they fled persecution.” According to Open Doors, Vietnam is the 47th most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Flooding and landslides in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Thailand Monsoon rains brought catastrophic flooding and landslides to Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Thailand last week. The death toll has surpassed 1,300, and nearly a thousand people are missing. The National Christian Evangelical Alliance of Sri Lanka is distributing emergency aid to pastors and Christian workers in the country. The group said the flooding has been “displacing families and severely impacting pastors, Christian workers, and churches.” Trump pauses immigration from Third World countries In the United States, President Donald Trump announced last Thursday his administration will “permanently pause” migration from Third World countries.  This came a day after an Afghan national shot two National Guard members with a  357 revolver in Washington, D.C. near the White House. U.S. Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, aged 20, died the next day. U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolf remains in serious condition. However, doctors report that he was able to give a thumbs-up sign when prompted and he wiggled his toes on command as well. Brigadier General Leland Blanchard spoke at a press conference. BLANCHARD: “Their families' lives are all changed forever because one person decided to do this horrific and evil thing.” Officials charged the 29-year-old Afghan national, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, with first-degree murder yesterday. The Afghan man drove cross country, from his home in Washington State, to carry out the targeted attack. He had immigrated to the United States in 2021 under a Biden era program evacuating Afghan refugees during the chaotic withdrawal of U.S. forces. Listen to comments from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.  LEAVITT: “Sarah and Andrew represent the very best of America, two young patriots who were willing to put on the uniform and risk their lives in defense of their fellow Americans. Both of them truly embody the profound words spoken by Jesus Christ in the Gospel. Greater love has no one than this to lay down one's life for one's friends.” (John 15:13) Mass killings are down this year Mass killings in the U.S. are down according to a database maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today. There have been 17 shooters who killed four or more people in a 24-hour period not including themselves. That's the lowest on record since 2006. Mass killings mostly occur at people's homes and often involve family members.  California officials dropped $70,000 in COVID fines against church Officials in California recently dropped nearly $70,000 in fines against a church and Christian school. The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health targeted Calvary Chapel San Jose and its affiliated Calvary Christian Academy during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Joel Oster with Advocates for Faith & Freedom said, “This is a complete victory, not only for Calvary Christian Academy, but for every church and Christian school in California. The State tried to use [the Occupational Safety and Health Administration] as a weapon to intimidate a religious institution. They failed. And they were forced to walk away from their own claims.” Should pro-life ministry be compelled to reveal names of donors? The U.S. Supreme Court heard a case yesterday involving a pro-life ministry in New Jersey. The case began in 2023 when the state targeted First Choice Women's Resource Centers with a subpoena, demanding the names of its donors.  Reuters reports that the justices appeared favorable to the pro-life ministry. William Haun with The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty said, “The Court should make clear that state bureaucrats cannot exploit their power to intimidate ministries or chill the faith commitments that guide their work.” Isaiah 10:1-2 says, “Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, who write misfortune, which they have prescribed to rob the needy of justice, and to take what is right from the poor of My people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless.” The “Naughty and Nice List” of U.S. retailers And finally, AUDIO: “He's making a list and checking it twice. He's going to find out who's naughty or nice.” Liberty Counsel released its latest “Naughty and Nice List” last month. The list catalogs retailers that are censoring Christmas and ones that are publicly celebrating it. Companies that celebrate Christmas include Costco, Lowe's, and Walmart. Companies that silence and censor Christmas include TJ Maxx, Barnes & Noble, and CVS Pharmacy.   Mat Staver with Liberty Counsel said, “Christianity remains the largest faith tradition in the United States and is associated with worship, family traditions, nostalgia, and seasonal joy. … We are happy to report that some retailers still recognize that the Christmas season is about the birth of Jesus and is not just a winter holiday.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, December 3rd, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Is Trump losing the very people who put him in power - and what does that mean for the rest of us? If Trump was supposed to be the wrecking ball to the swamp, why are his approval numbers tanking while people are getting poorer, angrier, and more blackpilled about politics? Why are Walmart and TJ Maxx booming while your grocery bill feels like a second car payment? Why did Team Trump hype the Epstein files... then suddenly slam on the brakes? And why does it feel like no matter who wins, the same people behind the curtain still call the shots? Studio Sponsor: ⁠Cardio Miracle⁠ - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": ⁠CardioMiracle.com/TBNS⁠ In this episode, Connor Vasile and I dig into the new polling that shows Trump sliding hard with voters who once saw him as the economic bodyguard against Biden style insanity. We get into why cost of living is crushing normal people, why the “inflation is slowing” talking points feel like gaslighting, and how big box “value” stores quietly tell the real story of a stressed out middle class. If you feel poorer than the headlines say you should, this one is going to hit home. From there, we walk straight into the Epstein landmine - why Thomas Massie forced the vote, what the Trump world flip flop on releasing the files really signals, and why people are done accepting “national security” and “ongoing investigation” as magic words to hide the truth. We talk foreign influence, Mossad rumors, blackmail, and why the average American has every reason not to trust the people holding the redaction pen. We also pull the lens back and ask the uncomfortable question almost nobody on the right wants to ask out loud - is Trump actually running a 90s Democrat playbook while selling it as America First? We talk covid spending, H1B visas, cheap imported labor, and why both parties keep feeding the same corporate machine while Republican and Democrat voters scream from opposite corners of the same cage. Finally, we zoom out to the bigger war behind all this: red team vs blue team tribalism, why libertarians keep getting boxed out, and what a real liberty strategy looks like in a world of communists winning big city races and “Christian nationalist” energy rising on the right. We talk Thomas Massie, Tea Party lessons, third parties vs takeover, and how a new coalition could actually change things from the bottom up if we stop playing make believe with polite old school politics.

It all started with a simple trip to TJ Maxx. Because every great night begins in the clearance aisle. From there, things only went uphill. Hibachi takeout, a Sister Wives marathon, and a little too much saké that led Zach to start one sided beef with TLC network and then continue to DM one of the stars of the show. This week, we unpack our obsession with reality TV drama, a strong opinion on fake “podcasts” that are really just ads disguised as "entertaining clips" or whatever. Then Zachariah tells his own harrowing tale when his stomach betrayed him in a coffee shop. We're talking newly found cough drops, a lawsuit involving a duck on a SeaWorld roller coaster, and our love for the Y2K pop duo ASHNIA. It's a lot, but so are we ;)This episode was mixed and edited by Kevin Betts.Get your tickets to see Zachariah Porter's new Live Comedy Tour!Want BONUS CONTENT?

Over the same period, Target reported declining same-store sales. In this episode, today's consumers are choosing off-price bargain hunting over a big-box staple. Plus: Retailers sneak in price hikes, SPACs make a return, and the labor market's got some regional variation.Every story has an economic angle.
