In today's episode, Stig Brodersen is joined by Manish Karira and Ralph Summerford for a bull and bear debate on CATL, the world's largest battery maker. Manish presents the bull case, arguing that a company most listeners have never heard of is becoming the backbone of the global energy infrastructure, powering EVs, stabilizing power grids, and feeding AI data centers. Ralph, a forensic accountant, presents the bear case, digging into price deflation, geopolitical risk, and whether CATL's US licensing model is capital-light growth or a defensive retreat. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: (00:00:00) Intro (00:02:58) Why Manish is bullish on CATL, the world's largest battery maker with 40% global market share and a founder-led culture of relentless R&D. (00:14:43) Why energy storage for AI data centers and the LRS licensing model in the US are two growth engines the market may not have fully priced in. (00:30:59) The bear case for CATL, including price deflation, a temporary margin windfall, the unwinding of its interest-free supplier float, and key-man risk. (00:58:28) How battery swapping and leasing could transform CATL from selling a battery once to owning the asset for its entire lifetime. (01:03:09) How to think about CATL's valuation at 18 times operating profit, its 150+ strategic stakes including DeepSeek, and why the Hong Kong shares trade at a premium to the mainland listing.

Two Colorado eviction bills came dangerously close to reshaping how rental property owners operate across the state in 2026. One would have capped evictions at 5 cases per county per month. The other would have required landlords to attach 60-to-80-page leases to every notice served. Both were defeated, but the same ideas are already being redrafted for 2027. Host Chris Lopez sits down with Vic Sulzer and Jonathan Carlson from TSM Law, and Matt La Crue and Ellie Reynolds from Purple Label Government Solutions, the bipartisan lobbying team representing the Colorado Workforce Housing Coalition at the Capitol. Together they break down how the last session played out, why 10 moderate Democrats termed out changes everything, and what a Phil Weiser governorship likely means for housing providers. The group walks through HB 1047, which would have permanently suppressed eviction records and let tenants deny prior evictions on rental applications. They also cover HB 1106, which proposed blocking eviction service during any period below 32°F, above 90°F, or with substantial snow or rain accumulation, leaving roughly 4 months a year when landlords could actually file. The conversation gets into the state’s $1.5 billion budget deficit, the migration patterns that shifted Colorado’s political makeup, why small owners (who make up roughly 50% of the market) are quietly exiting the rental pool, and what rent control could look like under a governor who has already said he’s going after corporate landlords. In This Episode We Cover: Why HB 1047 would have produced the equivalent of two Empire State Buildings of printed leases every year The 4-month window when evictions could actually be filed under HB 1106 How Colorado Poverty Law drafts and markets tenant legislation Why Colorado’s political makeup shifted after COVID migration What a supermajority in both chambers would mean for housing bills in 2027 How the Attorney General’s Office adds another layer of risk for housing providers Why joining the coalition matters more before a session than after If you own rental property in Colorado (or are thinking about it), this is one of the more important conversations you’ll hear this year.

If you're the state's expert witness, the last thing you want is your own resume working against you. That's what happened today in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, when defense attorney Kevin Reddington took psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Tufts apart on cross. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation after prosecutors allege she strangled her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty, with an insanity defense built around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Tufts told the court she'd been trained in postpartum treatment and had seen as many as 50 patients across four years. Reddington countered with the specifics: in the month leading up to Clancy's evaluation — her first stretch practicing solo — she'd seen roughly two postpartum depression patients. He also raised a pending lawsuit accusing Tufts of overstating her postpartum credentials, a detail that undercuts the "trusted expert" framing prosecutors need her to carry. He then pivoted to medication, walking her through side effects and drug interactions and pushing on how much she actually knew about what Clancy was taking, before hammering what he's calling a breakdown in communication among her doctor, her psychiatrist, and everyone else supposedly coordinating her care.Prosecutors continue to argue Clancy knew what she was doing despite the psychiatric defense. She allegedly attempted suicide after the killings by jumping from a second-story window and remains paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands during the incident and has since relocated to Manhattan. Proceedings continue in Plymouth Superior Court.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Eine M&A-Beratung komplett von Null aufzubauen, ist schon in ruhigen Zeiten ein Kraftakt. Ausgerechnet in einer Phase, in der etablierte Boutiquen fusionieren oder ganz aufgeben, ein europaweites Team von über 160 Beratern aus dem Boden zu stampfen, wirft die Frage auf, wie so etwas gelingt und ob der Markt auf einen weiteren Anbieter überhaupt gewartet hat.Mein Gast ist Christian Ramme, Managing Director bei Alvarez & Marsal in München. Mit ihm spreche ich über den Aufbau einer Corporate-Finance-Sparte from scratch, wie die ersten Mandate ohne Track Record entstehen, wie man im hohen Tempo Partner gewinnt, ohne an Qualität zu verlieren, und warum der europäische Software-Markt gerade komplett neu bewertet wird.Wir beleuchten in dieser Episode:wie Christian ins M&A gefunden hat,warum er zwischen Beratung und PE pendelte,wie A&M eine ganze M&A-Sparte von Null aufbaut,wie das Team trotz hohem Tempo seine Qualität hält,warum der Software-Markt gerade komplett neu bewertet wird,und vieles mehr...Viel Spaß beim Hören!***(00:00:00) Intro(00:01:44) Begrüßung & Werdegang(00:08:50) ProSieben & Seven Ventures(00:11:59) Zurück auf die Beraterseite(00:15:08) Aufbau bei KPMG(00:20:31) Wechsel zu Tenzing(00:23:48) Market Making in Deutschland(00:29:08) Von Tenzing zu A&M(00:31:36) Aufbau der M&A-Einheit bei A&M(00:34:06) Timing des Markteintritts(00:37:27) Industry-first & Teamaufbau(00:40:34) Qualität & Kultur im Wachstum(00:44:50) Wettbewerb im Mid-Market(00:47:41) Synergien zwischen Teams(00:49:52) Bilanz nach erstem Jahr(00:54:25) Software-Markt & Exits(01:00:20) Portfolio-Altlasten(01:04:28) Market Timing(01:09:19) Rule of 40 & Profitabilität(01:12:38) Learnings & größter Fehler***Alle Links zur Folge:Kai Hesselmann auf LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kai-hesselmann-dealcircle/CLOSE THE DEAL auf LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/closethedeal-podcastChristian Ramme auf LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cramme/Alvarez & Marshal auf LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/alvarez-&-marsal/Website CLOSE THE DEAL: https://dealcircle.com/ClosetheDeal/***DUB.de ist die Plattform für sichere Unternehmensnachfolgen.

Federal contracts often go to first-time vendors who never had the experience listed in the job description, and the fastest path in is a short, targeted proposal that answers one buyer's actual concern. David Rambhajan, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business founder who built and later sold an industrial construction company after starting with a $9,000 loan from his mother, walks through the sharpshooter framework he used to land his first role with zero skills, zero experience, and zero education on paper. What you'll learn in this episode: The 200-300-500 yard framework for pacing a federal pursuit so you stop groveling and start closing The exact cold-call script David used after a written rejection to earn a real conversation with the decision-maker Why offering to work one week free flipped a "not a fit" rejection into a job offer inside the same week How David used a $9,000 loan to start a construction company and which certifications he pursued first The mistake most new contractors make with certifications, and what to do instead of chasing them for their own sake Chapters: 0:00 - Sponsor read and the 70 places federal contracts hide 0:48 - The 200-yard rejection letter that started everything 1:35 - Cold-calling the marketing manager at 300 yards 3:05 - Building the proposal at Kinko's and hand-delivering it 4:40 - The one-week free-work offer that closed the job 5:55 - Landing the job and taking over the boss's role in a year 7:19 - Starting the construction company with a $9K loan from mom 8:10 - Getting SDVOSB and 8(a) certified, and the lesson ten years later Mindy gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

Training camp is open, and this is the most consequential stretch of the Klint Kubiak era. Gully breaks down what the Las Vegas Raiders actually got with the Kubiak hire — and the honest counter-argument: six stops since 2021, and a running game that finished outside the top 10 in designed run rate at his last two stops before Seattle's Super Bowl run. Also this episode: why the offensive line spend — highest-paid center in football Tyler Linderbaum — was the smartest money John Spytek and Tom Brady spent this offseason, why Ashton Jeanty might be the real swing piece of this offense rather than the wide receiver room, Fernando Mendoza's fully guaranteed $57.27 million rookie deal, why the QB timeline still points to Kirk Cousins deep into the season, and a Max Crosby health update heading into camp.

Viele Entwicklungen können uns aktuell große Sorgen bereiten. In dieser Folge besprechen wir einen Vortrag von dem ehemaligen Fondsmanager Peter Lynch aus dem Jahr 1994. Peter Lynch erzielte von 1977 bis 1990 eine durchschnittliche Jahresrendite von 29,2 %. Dies ist der beste Track Record eines öffentlichen Investmentfonds, in den damals laut Angaben von Lynch jeder hundertste Amerikaner oft mit kleinen Summen investiert war. Bei dem Vortrag im Jahr 1994 sagte Lynch folgendes: "Es gibt immer etwas, worüber man sich Sorgen machen kann". Lynch führte bei diesem Vortrag u.a. aus, worüber sich die Menschen in den 1950er-Jahren sorgten und was sie davon abhielt in Aktien zu investieren. Wir schlagen am Ende die Brücke zur heutigen Zeit und den heutigen Unsicherheiten und Sorgen, die wir haben können und die Auswirkungen auf unsere Investitionsentscheidungen.

The United States has been at war for more than 20 of the last 25 years. Afghanistan, Iraq and now Iran.

What if some of the greatest investment opportunities weren't hiding in Silicon Valley or Wall Street, but inside small businesses that have been overlooked for decades?In this episode of The Conscious Capitalists, hosts Timothy Henry and Raj Sisodia sit down with Monika Mantilla, Co-Founder, President & CEO of Altura Capital (https://alturacap.com/), to explore how patient capital, purpose-driven investing, and entrepreneurial success can create extraordinary financial returns while strengthening communities. Over the past 21 years, Monika has built a proven track record investing in lower middle market businesses across low-and-moderate-income communities, demonstrating that impact and performance are not competing priorities, but mutually reinforcing ones.Monika shares why Altura Capital was intentionally built as an investment platform rather than a traditional private equity fund, allowing the firm to provide flexible capital tailored to the unique needs of growing businesses. She explains why patient investment horizons of three to seven years, combined with operational partnership and long-term thinking, consistently outperform short-term approaches. Along the way, she introduces The Altura Way, the firm's ten-pillar value creation framework that helps companies strengthen strategy, operations, leadership, governance, digital transformation, and community impact while building more resilient businesses.The conversation also explores one of the largest untapped opportunities in modern investing. Monika discusses research conducted alongside 29 of America's largest corporations that identified an estimated $590 billion in unrealized value within underserved business segments. She explains how diverse ownership, improved market access, and stronger partnerships with companies such as Walmart, Kroger, CVS, Merck, and Johnson & Johnson help unlock growth that traditional investors often overlook.But this episode reaches far beyond investing. Monika reflects on the influence of her upbringing in Bogotá, Colombia, the lasting impact of her mother, her faith-driven approach to leadership, and the philosophy that guides both her life and business: ser en el hacer—being in the doing. She also shares her unique 200-hour planning system, organizing life into fourteen categories across eight-week cycles, and explains why she considers leading Altura to be only her seventh priority after ensuring the rest of her life is aligned with her values.Listeners will gain insights into:Why the lower middle market represents one of the most overlooked opportunities in private equityWhat patient capital really means and why long-term investing creates stronger businessesHow Altura's ten-pillar value creation framework systematically scales growing companiesWhy diverse ownership and investing in underserved communities can generate above-market returnsHow market access and strategic partnerships accelerate business growthWhy values, intentional leadership, and disciplined time management are foundational to long-term successThe role conscious capitalism can play in creating both economic progress and social progressWhether you're an investor, entrepreneur, business leader, or simply interested in how capitalism can be a force for lasting value creation, this episode offers a compelling conversation about building businesses that deliver exceptional returns while expanding opportunity for more people.If you enjoy this podcast, would you consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify?

Hedgework-Talk rund um alternative, digitale und nachhaltige Investments
European Long-Term Investment Funds (ELTIFs) sollen Privatanlegern systematisch den Zugang zu Private Equity, Private Debt, Infrastruktur und anderen illiquiden Anlageklassen eröffnen – mit Regulierung „made in EU“. Im 94. Hedgework-Talk spricht Uwe Lill mit Hosna Houbani, Director Alternative Investments bei Scope, über den Boom von ELTIF 2.0, die Hintergründe der Studie „Massenstart geglückt – Überblick über den ELTIF-Markt 2025/26“ und die Frage, ob der politische Anspruch der Regulierung schon an der Realität der Vertriebspraxis und der Anlegerbedürfnisse angekommen ist. Im Gespräch geht es um die rasante Zunahme der Fondsanzahl und -volumina, die wichtigsten Produktstrukturen (Evergreen vs. geschlossene ELTIFs), Unterschiede zwischen Deutschland, Frankreich, Italien und Spanien sowie die Rolle von Multi-Asset-Ansätzen. Houbani erläutert, warum ELTIFs für Privatanleger einerseits Diversifikation und Renditekicker bieten können, andererseits aber mit höheren Management- und Performance-Gebühren, komplexen Rückgabemechanismen und sehr langfristigen Horizonten einhergehen. Zudem diskutiert sie Erfolgsfaktoren wie Transparenz, Einbindung in Altersvorsorge- und Versicherungsprodukte, funktionierende Abwicklungs- und Vertriebsprozesse sowie den bislang kurzen Track Record – und ordnet ein, wo der Hype berechtigt ist und wo Anleger bei der neuen „Long-Term“-Welt noch genau hinschauen sollten.

Then, it seems like a drastic turn for Stevens with all of the good moves he's made since taking the front office position and the good trades he's made up to this point. And, a look at the rest of the Eastern Conference and where the C's actually stand in the first days of the NBA offseason.

Peter Lynch erzielte von 1977 bis 1990 eine durchschnittliche Jahresrendite von 29,2 %.

Was war der größte Anlagefehler von Peter Lynch? Über diesen Anlagefehler sprechen wir heute und wir diskutieren auch, warum es sehr schwierig ist, diesen Fehler komplett zu vermeiden.

Pedro Escudero, CEO y fundador de Silverway Asset Management, presentó el lanzamiento de su fondo Silverway Global Apex Equity Fund, un vehículo registrado por la CNMV que busca acercar al inversor particular una estrategia habitualmente reservada a grandes patrimonios e instituciones. Según explica, la acogida ha sido muy positiva, con numerosas solicitudes de información y apertura de cuentas desde sus primeros días de actividad. Escudero define el proyecto como una “democratización de la inversión de élite”, apoyándose en un historial de rentabilidad que ha logrado superar a los mercados de forma consistente. La filosofía de inversión de Silverway se diferencia de los enfoques tradicionales porque combina tres pilares: Quality, Growth y Value. Para Escudero, la calidad es el factor más importante, ya que permite predecir con mayor precisión la evolución futura de los beneficios empresariales. En segundo lugar sitúa el crecimiento, entendido como la capacidad de una compañía para aumentar sus beneficios de forma sostenida. Solo después considera la valoración o el precio de la acción. Según Silverway, centrarse exclusivamente en el value investing puede llevar a invertir en empresas baratas que nunca generan valor para el accionista, mientras que la combinación de calidad, crecimiento y valoración ofrece mejores posibilidades de superar al mercado. En cuanto a sectores y oportunidades, destaca especialmente la tecnología, que forma parte de la cartera del fondo. Considera que el mercado está infravalorando algunas compañías de software al asumir erróneamente que la inteligencia artificial terminará por convertir ese negocio en una simple mercancía. El CEO de la empresa defiende que los modelos de IA necesitan datos específicos y conocimiento sectorial, algo que poseen las empresas de software especializado. Por ello, sigue viendo oportunidades atractivas en determinados nichos tecnológicos, siempre que presenten ventajas competitivas sólidas, capacidad de crecimiento y una elevada previsibilidad en sus resultados futuros. Además, defiende una cartera relativamente concentrada, ya que considera que una excesiva diversificación acerca los resultados a los del índice y dificulta obtener rentabilidades superiores. No obstante, matiza que concentrar no significa asumir más riesgo, sino seleccionar compañías con flujos de caja independientes entre sí y convicciones de inversión muy fuertes. Para él, la clave no es tener muchas posiciones, sino poseer las mejores empresas posibles y mantener una disciplina capaz de aprovechar las oportunidades que surgen durante las crisis de mercado.

In today's message, Pastor Chris walks us through Joshua 21, where we discover that God's promises are never dependent on circumstances, but on His unchanging character. What may seem like a chapter about cities and land assignments becomes a powerful testimony to the faithfulness of God, reminding us that what He promises, He remembers, fulfills, and guarantees.

Aber seit über einem Jahr halte ich mich fern und investiere mein Geld stattdessen in die Nasdaq (die aktuell ein All-Time-High nach dem anderen feiert). Ich werde oft gefragt, wann ich wieder Krypto kaufe. Die Antwort ist simpel: Es müssen 3 harte Bedingungen erfüllt sein. Welche das sind, liest du im neuen Snippet. https://www.julianhosp.com/de/blog/daily-snippet-21-04-2026 —— So profitierst du von den großen Trends, ohne das Risiko eines Totalausfalls:

In this episode of The Bitcoin for Corporations Show, the leadership at Strive explains why traditional corporate balance sheets are ill-equipped to handle the dual threats of currency debasement and AI-driven industry disruption. They present data showing that technological shifts historically trigger a 50% turnover in the S&P 500, suggesting that companies failing to adopt digital assets are essentially "sitting ducks."The episode serves as a strategic guide for executives to use Bitcoin and digital credit as "civilizational insurance" to protect their margins and ensure long-term corporate survival.Chapters: 00:31 Strive's Evolution: From Anti-ESG to Bitcoin Treasury01:45 Solving the Retirement Crisis with Digital Credit03:08 The Bitcoin "iPhone Moment" and Exponential Growth06:54 Building Infrastructure for Institutional Adoption14:27 The Barrier to S&P 500 Bitcoin Adoption15:31 Why Corporations Treat Cash Like a "Hot Potato"19:30 AI Disruption and the Need for Robust Balance Sheets27:01 The Coming S&P 500 Turnover: Data and Trends31:08 Differentiating Strive's Strategy from MicroStrategy38:00 Game Theory and Corporate Decision Making43:02 Building a Track Record in the Bear MarketDISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed in this show are those of the participants and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of BTC Inc., Bitcoin Magazine, or any affiliated entities.

Dan Caruso, Managing Director, Caruso Ventures; Founding CEO of Zayo Group Dan Caruso built Zayo from a startup into an $8.5B bandwidth infrastructure platform through 45 acquisitions. In Part 1, he walks through the full buyer-led playbook — how the thesis was built on a contrarian bet that everyone else got wrong, how proprietary deals were sourced through early relationship-building, and why fast integration wasn't a reputation problem — it was a competitive advantage. He also breaks down the metric trap most roll-up operators fall into: mistaking EBITDA growth for true value creation. If your board is tracking acquisitions individually or your deal structure is loaded with earnouts, this conversation will challenge how you're running the program. What you'll learn: How to identify and build a contrarian acquisition thesis with investor alignment Why proprietary deal flow is a brand and relationship problem, not a sourcing problem How Zayo executed an unsolicited, fully funded offer on a larger public company — and won Why tracking individual acquisitions kills synergies in a roll-up When earnouts hurt more than they help — and what to use instead How clean, all-cash offers win on certainty, not price Dan's approach to thesis validation, investor alignment, and platform value creation is documented in the Roll-Up Readiness Assessment inside the Intelligence Hub, a stage-gated guide built directly from this conversation.

Former Sprott CEO Kevin Bambrough on Hydrograph: Fractal Graphene, Nanotech's Breakout Moment Podcast hosts interview Kevin Bambrough, author and former Sprott CEO, about why he became a major shareholder in Hydrograph and why he believes graphene—specifically Hydrograph's turbo-stratic, fractal graphene aggregates—solves key industry problems like clumping and poor dispersion that plagued earlier graphite-derived approaches. Bambrough recounts his investing background and explains graphene's sought-after properties (strength, conductivity, EMF shielding) and why Hydrograph's purity and SP2 bonding matter for real-world applications. The panel discusses potential use cases across polymers, coatings, tires, construction materials, batteries, semiconductors, and military needs, plus Hydrograph's patent moat and licensing potential. They cover manufacturing via acetylene/oxygen combustion in a chamber, economics such as a stated $250,000/ton price with far lower required loadings, modular "Hyperion" scaling, work with dozens of companies, and catalysts like EPA approvals, a possible Nasdaq listing, and a Texas gas-plant partnership, while noting execution and IP/theft as key risks. 00:00 Meet Kevin Bambrough 00:32 From Computers to Markets 01:57 Sprott Years and Track Record 03:19 Discovering Hydrograph 05:36 Graphene Hype vs Reality 07:46 Why Graphene Matters 11:21 Hydrograph Fractal Advantage 16:06 Sci Fi Use Cases 20:47 AI Accelerates Innovation 23:26 Moat Patents and Monopoly 26:42 Is the Stock a Bubble 30:59 Flow State Deep Research 35:38 Graphene Types and Construction 40:08 How the Graphene Is Made 41:48 Detonation Cycle Basics 42:34 Fractal Graphene Formation 43:58 Pricing And Battery Value 45:57 Polymer Bottles And Low Loading 49:13 Unit Economics And Scaling 51:59 First Customers And Auto Wins 56:24 Texas Gas Plant Expansion 59:16 Risks Patents And Execution 01:08:51 Catalysts Nasdaq And Deals 01:16:00 Final Takeaways And Wrap
This week on Swimming with Allocators, it's time for another discuss, debate, and question (DDQ) episode as Earnest and Alexa riff on founders behaving badly and the cultural and governance failures enabling fraud-like behavior, then dive into how enterprises will actually adopt AI and what that means for the future of SaaS and vertical software. They unpack the rise of GP-led secondaries, strip sales, and mounting impatience around liquidity, using recent market data to explain why secondary activity is accelerating. The conversation shifts to Brendan Baker's three-tier venture framework (mega, middle, and small funds), where they debate where innovation, desperation, and real differentiation will come from. They explore whether LPs should back first-time fund managers without a traditional track record, what “track record” should really mean, and why softer skills, pattern recognition, and learning velocity matter. They also discuss treating fundraisers like enterprise B2B sales, how to qualify LPs and build authentic GP–LP relationships, and close with a playful “start, bench, cut” on SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic to frame how they think about pre-IPO AI and space bets. Highlights from this week's conversation include: Prediction: 2026 as the Year of Founders Behaving Badly (1:16) Misuse of Startup Funds and Rise in Legal Issues (1:48) Narrative-Driven Investing and Weak Governance in VC (2:28) Enterprise AI Adoption: Rory O'Driscoll's Five Paths (3:25) Will Big SaaS Survive the “SaaS Apocalypse”?

Once I started eating, I couldn't stop. I wasn't a grazer – I was a binge eater. I ate in secret, whole packages at a time, with the door closed. When I came to Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous (FA) at 20 years old, I was obese, deeply unhappy, and running out of hope. Today, at 58 years old and 85 pounds lighter, I have a blessed life in recovery. From age three, food lit me up like a Christmas tree. I remember being caught hiding behind a curtain at my parents' dinner party, secretly bingeing on dessert. My first diet was in sixth grade, and it began a pattern that lasted for years: intense excitement, a few days of success, and then the moment of insanity when I told myself I could have ‘just one bite.' From there, I was off to the races My brother was born with a heart defect, and I could feel the stress that my loving parents experienced. When I was 13, a surgery meant to fix his heart went wrong, and he died. When we lost him, our beautiful family circle was broken, and so was I. I gained 30 pounds that year and spent the rest of high school dieting. College was one long binge, until I found FA. Today, I'm married, raising two college-aged children – one transgender, one autistic – and caring for elderly parents. Life is full, imperfect, and deeply meaningful. For over thirty-five years now, I've maintained my right-sized body by asking my Higher Power for help—not just with food, but with life itself. My Higher Power has a perfect track record: every time I surrender to God's will, I get to live a beautiful life.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
An FBI source told NewsNation it's "dumb" and "insane" — Sheriff Chris Nanos is allegedly blocking federal agents from accessing key evidence in the Nancy Guthrie case, routing a glove and DNA samples to a private Florida lab instead of Quantico. Nanos called the reports "not even close to the truth." But the documented history of this sheriff's credibility tells a very different story.From a 98.8 percent no-confidence vote by his own deputies, to an Arizona Attorney General investigation that flagged four policy violations, to placing his political opponent on leave weeks before an election he won by 481 votes — Nanos has spent years denying what the record confirms. And in the Guthrie case alone, he's admitted to releasing the crime scene early, contradicted himself publicly, grounded his best search aircraft over a personal dispute, and sat courtside at a basketball game while the family begged for Nancy's return.This episode lays out the full pattern — every claim sourced, every quote verified — and asks the only question that matters on Day 13 of this search: whose word has actually held up?#NancyGuthrie #ChrisNanos #FBI #PimaCountySheriff #SavannahGuthrie #TrueCrime #Kidnapping #Tucson #HiddenKillers #ColdCaseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
