Anatol Lieven discusses the institutionalization of the Ukraine war, highlighted by children being trained to fly drones in classrooms. This blend of new technology and old societal militarization creates a "bloodless war" perception, potentially making conflict psychologically easier. He also addresses the argument that "stagnating states" are militarizing to maintain power, fueling conflicts and reasserting spheres of influence (a "new economic Monroe Doctrine"). The US is critically involved, enabling Ukrainian targeting capabilities. 1940

CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 11-6-25 THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT VENEZUELA. FIRST HOUR 9-915 Anatol Lieven discusses the institutionalization of the Ukraine war, highlighted by children being trained to fly drones in classrooms.

He also addresses the argument that "stagnating states" are militarizing to maintain power, fueling conflicts and reasserting spheres of influence (a "new economic Monroe Doctrine"). The US is critically involved, enabling Ukrainian targeting capabilities. 930-945 Chris Riegel discusses how artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics are transforming labor, citing modest IBM layoffs but predicting heavy impacts in large retail. Advanced robotics in Chinese auto manufacturing drives cost efficiency, and AI combined with robotics enhances manufacturing capability. While seeing demand, Riegel notes characteristics of a bubble, especially in wildly overvalued stock prices, fueled by vast investment in AI data centers. In QSRs and retail, AI adoption is driven by efficiency and, in places like California, high minimum wages. 945-1000 Mary Anastasia O'Grady discusses the strong US military presence near Venezuela, intended to pressure dictator Nicolás Maduro to leave. While the opposition (led by elected President González) is ready to govern, the Trump administration hesitates due to security concerns. The major risk is chaos: following Maduro's exit, drug cartels (like Cartel de los Soles) and other groups (like ELN and Tren de Aragua) might fight dissident generals, leading to instability rather than a smooth transition to democracy. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Joel Finkelstein discusses how the New York election of socialist Zohran Mamdani was influenced by "subnationalism," where foreign nations subvert democracy. Organizations associated with Islamist Maoist ideals and CCP assets (like Neville Roy Singham, who bankrolled a campaign hub) were central to mobilizing votes. On social media, especially Instagram and TikTok, content favorable to Mamdani was given "engineered virality," with over 50% of viral engagement coming from non-American users, suggesting organized foreign intercession. 1015-1030 Ahmad Fouad Alkhatib discusses the high probability of renewed conflict in Gaza, arguing that the ceasefire is fragile due to Hamas's malign intentions. He estimates Hamas's combat-effective forces are significantly lower than reported (3,000 to 5,000, versus 15,000 to 30,000), noting Hamas pays fighters $20 to $25 a day. He also challenges polls showing widespread Gazan support for Hamas, arguing such results are manipulated and defy logic given the catastrophe following October 7. Disarmament is crucial for any future political process. 1030-1045 Ahmad Fouad Alkhatib argues that disarmament must precede any credible political process in Gaza, citing Hamas's use of medical facilities like Shifa and Nasser hospitals for interrogations and military activities. He criticizes Turkey and Qatar for using Hamas as a bargaining chip for regional leverage, suggesting they now posture Hamas as a potential security guarantor against ISIS. Alkhatib also suggests using Private Military Contractors (PMCs) as an enforcement force to actively fight Hamas and secure territory, given diminishing faith in an International Stabilization Force. 1045-1100 Gregg Roman details Turkey and Qatar's strategy to establish regional hegemony across "five fronts" by replacing the Shia Crescent. Turkey, providing military manpower, and Qatar, providing the budget, are active in Gaza, southern Lebanon, Syria, and Djibouti. Their plan includes securing maritime supremacy in the Eastern Mediterranean via an agreement with Libya and extending air power over Syrian airspace. Erdoğan seeks plausible deniability by empowering Syrian jihadis to attack the Golan Heights and is building bases in Djibouti and Somalia. THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Professor Evan Ellis discusses Argentina's economic stabilization under President Milei, who resisted dollarization by bringing the peso to a stable, free-market rate through aggressive spending cuts and US/IMF support. This success under the new US "economic Monroe Doctrine" sends a strong signal to the Americas, aimed at countering China's rapid expansion. Ellis also reviews US military readiness near Venezuela and political shifts toward the center-right in Bolivia and potentially Chile, though these nations remain economically engaged with China. 1115-1130 Professor Evan Ellis discusses Argentina's economic stabilization under President Milei, who resisted dollarization by bringing the peso to a stable, free-market rate through aggressive spending cuts and US/IMF support.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Veronique de Rugy critiques the administration's legal argument at the Supreme Court that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) authorizes the President to impose tariffs. She argues the term "emergency" is used too loosely, defining 50 years of trade deficits as an emergency, potentially granting the President immense, unchecked power to tax. Tariffs are taxes, which Congress should control. De Rugy notes tariffs are already causing damage by raising prices for consumers or forcing companies to cut profits and investment. 1215-1230 Alan Tonelson discusses the Supreme Court oral arguments concerning the President's authority to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The administration argues the President can invoke IEEPA due to emergencies like fentanyl and trade deficits. Tonelson finds arguments against including tariffs under IEEPA's regulatory language "jaw-dropping." He stresses that the President must have sole control over declaring foreign policy emergencies, necessary for rapid response. If rejected, the President has other longstanding tariffing powers. 1230-1245 Dr. AJ Kolhari discusses Russia's successful test of the nuclear-powered Burevestnik cruise missile, which flew 14,000 km for 15 hours. The missile captures and compresses air, heating it over a nuclear reactor to create thrust. Kolhari emphasizes the danger because it flies low (50 to 100 m) and is hard to detect. He notes this nuclear propulsion technology, or similar ramjet designs, could revolutionize commercial travel and be applied to flight on Mars, using its CO₂ atmosphere for heating. 1245-100 AM Conrad Black discusses Canadian politics and trade, noting a misunderstanding between Prime Minister Carney and Ontario Premier Doug Ford regarding an anti-tariff ad that offended President Trump. Black reports that China's General Secretary Xi has been conciliatory toward both Canada and the US. Crucially, Canada needs pipelines built both east, west (Trans Mountain to Vancouver/Pacific), and south (Keystone XL) to move Alberta's oil. Carney's federal government tentatively agreed to approve a second pipeline to Northern British Columbia.

What if a single introduction from a stranger you never saw again could change your entire life? In this episode, Theresa Bassett, CEO of The Diamond Group and sales and marketing expert with over $550M in transactions, shares the remarkable story of how a mystery connector named Isabelle introduced her to Kelly Bassett at a running training group and then vanished forever. That one serendipitous moment transformed not only Theresa's personal life but her entire professional trajectory, leading her from Fortune 500 corporate sales to building a thriving 28-year-old family business that now employs a team of 20 and serves small businesses across the nation. Theresa reveals how she "went in kicking and screaming" to entrepreneurship, initially unable to envision herself as a CEO, but discovered her true calling: equipping and empowering small business owners to triple their revenue, build legacy wealth, and create ripple effects that impact entire families and communities. From tripling a home builder's revenue in 18 months to helping a solo orthodontist open five offices and build generational wealth, Theresa's story is a masterclass in the power of partnership, resilience, and saying "yes" even when you can't see the full picture. [00:05:29] What Theresa Does: Serving Small Business America CEO of The Diamond Group: A sales and marketing growth revenue agency for small businesses Why Small Business? Small businesses provide 86% of jobs in America Theresa counts it as one of her greatest privileges to employ a team of 20 people Every time a team member buys a car, house, or takes a vacation, it feels like a personal victory [00:07:43] The Backstory: From Corporate to Coaching to CEO Trained as a sales professional working for major home builders Merchandised new home neighborhoods for the biggest builders in the world Coached business owners on sales and marketing one-on-one Believed in the power of personalized consulting to elevate brands [00:08:55] The Life-Changing Introduction Both showed up at a running training group Neither could run "a lick"—couldn't even run to the corner A woman named Isabelle was at the front gate Isabelle: "Oh, you're new. There's this other new guy here too. His name's Kelly. I should have you meet." [00:11:40] The Partnership Begins: Joining The Diamond Group Started an agency in San Francisco, California Left the radio industry as a producer to produce radio ads independently Known as "Crash Bassett" in the radio world (crashed his truck into a brick wall on the way to work) When radio consolidated, he pivoted to more video production [00:13:13] Going "In Kicking and Screaming" A marketing agency had never been on her radar "Okay God, what are you up to? Seriously, whatcha up to?" Admits: "I had some selfish motives" [00:16:34] Kelly's Remarkable Pivot Not easy to welcome a new partner into your business Not easy to move yourself from chief/presidency to welcome a CEO alongside you Kelly allowed Theresa's vision to come up alongside his Eventually, her vision became the vision they were calibrating to [00:17:47] Results That Create Ripple Effects Rebranded a couple times along the journey Name reflects the resiliency and strength they build in strong businesses Goal: Build strong, sustainable sales and marketing systems so businesses don't run owners into the ground [00:18:58] Marketing Is About More Than New Customers The Recruiting Connection: "People think of marketing as new clients, customers, and patients, but marketing is also about new team members. Recruiting is a marketing and sales activity. If you want to attract great talent to your team, you gotta have a magnetic brand."

Him opening his door to me allowed me to open my door to so many others." - Theresa Bassett "If you want to attract great talent to your team, you gotta have a magnetic brand." - Theresa Bassett "Racehorses are likely to run at least 10% faster when they're next to other racehorses." - Theresa Bassett CONNECT WITH THERESA BASSETT
Send us a textBrian Witkowski's path has moved through the worlds of classical singing, voice teaching, and coaching—but the thread running through all of it is his belief in the power of a person's voice to shape their life. Trained as a classical baritone, Brian spent years performing, teaching, and mentoring musicians, before his work expanded into supporting leaders, entrepreneurs, and creatives navigating high-pressure environments and seasons of reinvention.What he discovered along the way is that voice is never just vocal technique—it's how we express needs, hold boundaries, make decisions, and trust our own worth in the world. Today, Brian helps artists and professionals reconnect with that deeper sense of voice so their work, livelihood, and identity no longer feel at odds with each other.His approach is gentle, grounded, and deeply human.At its heart, Brian's work encourages one simple truth: You are allowed to take up the space that your voice was always meant to hold.Top 5 Songs of Encouragement1) Schubert - Sehnsucht D.636 - Fischer-Dieskau / Engelhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idlY1ytShmU&list=RDidlY1ytShmU&start_radio=12) “Rhinestone Cowboy” by Glenn Campbellhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kAU3B9Pi_U3) “Respect Yourself” by the Staples Singershttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InYaB16xEd04) “Cancelled” by Taylor Swifthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij6SgmK8KGQ&list=RDIj6SgmK8KGQ&start_radio=15) “American Anthem” Nathan Gunn, (Gene Scheer, piano arrangement Lee Musiker)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JCLEQALjiUReach out to Brian athttps://thelucrativevoice.com/Support the show

The Spiritual Exercises offer an experiential process of pondering (originally in a silent retreat of some 30 days) the Bible story, focusing on observing in prayer how the creation and fall led to Jesus' incarnation and earthly ministry, His redeeming sacrifice, resurrection and ascension. The aim is to integrate the personal, social and spiritual dimensions of life, and so arrive at a renewed Christian vision and vitality. This talk will explain the process of undertaking the exercises and discuss an evangelical Biblical approach to this discipleship tool created within the Catholic Church and how it fits with Schaeffer's legacy of ‘all of life' Christianity.Please note that the ideas expressed in this lecture do not necessarily represent the views of L'Abri Fellowship.For more resources, visit the L'Abri Ideas Library at labriideaslibrary.org. The library contains over two thousand lectures and discussions that explore questions about the reality and relevance of Christianity. This is a public episode.

What do you do when someone looks you straight in the eye and lies again? When the truth is sitting right there, plain as day, yet they twist it, deny it, and make you question your sanity? In this episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan Grau gets real about what it means to live life on life's terms, especially when you're dealing with manipulative or dishonest people who twist the truth and leave you questioning your own reality. She dives into the painful experience of crazy making, where someone's lies and gaslighting can make you doubt what you know to be true. Susan shares personal stories of being caught in webs of deceit and how she's learned that sometimes, the best response isn't confrontation but silence. She reminds listeners that truth doesn't need defending, and that protecting your peace often means walking away rather than engaging with dysfunction. Through her own journey and years in Al-Anon, Susan reveals how trusting your intuition, setting boundaries, and refusing to spin the web alongside others can lead to freedom and self-respect.

What if the key to healing chronic pain isn't found in a pill, but in the power of the mind itself? In this thought-provoking conversation, psychotherapist and pain coach, Alyssa Heskin challenges the traditional view of pain and explores the science behind the mind-body connection. She reveals how emotional experiences shape our physical symptoms—and how awareness, self-exploration, and evidence-based psychotherapy can unlock the body's natural capacity to heal. This episode invites you to question everything you thought you knew about pain and discover a new path toward true well-being. About Our Guest: Alyssa believes that every client deserves a space in which they feel safe, empowered, and in control of their healing. She takes a psychodynamic, strength-focused, and mindfulness-based approach and utilizes evidence-based practices from Pain Reprocessing Therapy. Alyssa works collaboratively with clients to identify their maladaptive thinking patterns and behaviors and replace them with effective strategies to alleviate emotional and physical pain. Alyssa was first introduced to concepts of neuroplasticity and somatic healing while supporting a family member through their chronic pain recovery. This personal experience sparked an awe for the healing capacity of our brains and bodies, leading Alyssa to develop her professional niche in chronic pain recovery. Alyssa also specializes in working with survivors of trauma and people experiencing severe mental illness. Trained in: Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Motivational Interviewing (MI).

In this episode, I'm breaking down the Catholic Warrior Brotherhood Retreat — what we did, why we did it, and the real transformation that took place out there in the mountains. This wasn't a “men's getaway” or a feel-good campfire weekend. This was battle preparation. Iron sharpening iron. Men confronting their addictions, their passivity, their wounds, and stepping into the identity God actually created them for.We prayed together. Trained together. Ate together. Confessed together. Cried, laughed, and fought through spiritual warfare together. And most importantly — we reminded each other that we are not meant to walk the narrow road alone. We were made for brotherhood.I also share a bit about my own life these past few weeks — October was essentially vacation mode and family time for me. It was needed. But now we're back. Full schedule. Full mission. Full momentum. The podcast and the coaching are back in full swing.New Episodes Every Sunday Join The Catholic Warrior Coaching Program Here: catholicwarrior.comSubscribe to Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@catholicwarriorpodcast Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/catholicwarriorpodcast/?hl=en
René Camarillo is a Mexican-American craftsperson from East Los Angeles whose practice resists the hierarchies of the art world. Trained in apparel design at LA Trade Tech, fiber and material studies at Cal State LA, and textiles at RISD, Camarillo positions weaving and garment-making as acts of cultural inheritance, labor, and community survival rather than commodities of privilege. In this conversation, Camarillo reflects on rejecting the label of “artist,” his experience with exploitation in fashion and sweatshops, and the deep political stakes of textiles in shaping both history and everyday life. The dialogue explores craft versus fine art, sustainability, gentrification in Lincoln Heights and El Sereno, and the importance of teaching weaving, dyeing, and self-reliance through Grow Lincoln Heights and his brand Dust of Course. With a Fulbright in Japan to study indigo farming, Camarillo embodies a practice that is at once monastic, technical, and communal—insisting on fundamentals in a moment dominated by spectacle and commodification.
Episode #425: Dr. Lalita Hanwong, a Thai historian and analyst, has dedicated her career to understanding Myanmar and its ties to Thailand. “I'm morally attached to the peoples of Myanmar,” she says, summing up a lifetime of scholarship and advocacy that spans from the archives of colonial Burma to the war-torn Thai-Myanmar border. “I just want to talk to everybody.” Trained at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, Lalita's research explored how British rule relied on racial hierarchies to govern Burma. “The British were pretty paranoid and suspicious of the Burmese… the specific race that they found the most difficult to rule and police was actually the Bamar,” she explains. “Their solution was pretty simple: let's bring somebody to scare the Burmese—hence the presence of the Gurkhas, the Sikhs and so on.” These studies taught her how old systems of mistrust shaped modern Myanmar. Her work later shifted from archives to activism. Returning to Thailand, she began advising parliament and the army on border affairs, refugee policy, and Myanmar relations. “There are some really good-hearted [Thai] soldiers who mean well, who want to help Myanmar as well,” she says. Mae Sot, the border town she calls her second home, has become central to her life: “Mae Sot is a really fascinating place. There's no place like Mae Sot… Thailand has been the hub of resistance from Myanmar for generations.” Lalita argues that Thailand must take a more active role as mediator and humanitarian partner. “Thailand could do a lot more,” she says. “The border is a gray zone… we cannot use the urban mindset to get the border fixed however we like it.” She rejects isolation of the junta—“you need somebody who can still negotiate and get access to Naypyidaw”—and believes dialogue is the only way forward. “War is never good for anybody except war business people.”

October 30, 2025- Assemblymember Karines Reyes, a Bronx Democrat and registered nurse, discusses her legislation to define a role for certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) in New York's health care system.
Technology, once a neutral servant, now increasingly operates according to hidden incentives-shaped by corporate interests, data extraction, and algorithmic autonomy-often against the user's best interests. Across several examples, systems built for convenience expose deeper trends of control, deception, and surveillance that challenge the meaning of ownership and privacy.A vivid instance comes from an iLife A11 smart vacuum whose owner blocked its telemetry data from being sent to foreign servers. In response, the manufacturer issued a remote “kill command,” disabling the device entirely. This was no bug-it was a deliberate assertion of corporate dominance over a purchased product. The episode reveals how “ownership” in the Internet of Things era is often conditional: users buy hardware but rent functionality subject to corporate approval.Another case, the “Universe Browser,” illustrates how malicious actors co-opt privacy rhetoric. Marketed as a secure, privacy-first browser, it was in fact malware harvesting user data, logging keystrokes, and overriding protections. This inversion-using the language of security to enable surveillance-underscores the growing difficulty of distinguishing genuine tools from predatory ones.Even legitimate corporations are not immune from enabling exploitation. A campaign called “CoPhish” weaponized Microsoft's Copilot Studio, hosting phishing bots on genuine Microsoft domains. Users who trusted the “safe” Microsoft URL unknowingly interacted with malicious agents designed to steal personal data. This tactic erodes the basic cybersecurity habit of domain verification: when trusted infrastructure itself becomes compromised, safety heuristics fail.Surveillance also seeps into professional spaces. Microsoft Teams recently added a feature allowing employers to detect and display an employee's physical location whenever connected to company Wi-Fi. Marketed as a productivity feature, it effectively enables silent location tracking. While technically optional, it normalizes pervasive workplace monitoring and blurs the line between employee presence and personal autonomy.Finally, generative AI is undermining the ethos of open-source software. Trained on public repositories, AI models often reproduce code without attribution or license-a phenomenon known as “license amnesia.” This strips creators of recognition and breaks the reciprocal cycle that sustains open-source collaboration. If left unchecked, AI-generated “laundered” code risks transforming a shared innovation commons into an extractive, one-way pipeline that benefits corporations without replenishing the community.
Luxury retail is in the midst of a reinvention. Circular fashion has moved from trend to transformation, reshaping how consumers perceive value, ownership, and access. According to the 2025 BCG × Vestiaire Collective Resale Report, the secondhand fashion and luxury market now totals $210 to $220 billion globally and is projected to reach $320 to $360 billion by 2030—growing nearly three times faster than the primary market. Among Gen Z consumers, as much as 45% of handbags are already purchased secondhand, underscoring a generational shift toward sustainability and individuality.As resale evolves from online auctions to a global force redefining modern luxury, how are pioneers navigating the next chapter—and what can established brands learn from their playbook?On this episode of Retail Refined, host Melissa Gonzalez sits down with Sarah Davis, Founder and President of Fashionphile, to explore how one of the earliest luxury resale pioneers scaled an eBay side hustle into a global platform for pre-owned luxury. From cultural shifts to omnichannel strategy, Davis shares what keeps Fashionphile and the handbags it curates, iconic.Key Takeaways from the EpisodeResale as identity & access: Gen Z and Gen Alpha aren't just price-sensitive—they're curators. They hunt for under-the-radar pieces, make them trend on TikTok, and often spark brand reissues, lifting values across both primary and secondary markets.What makes a bag “iconic”: Timeless shapes such as the Louis Vuitton Speedy and Chanel Classic Flap endure across decades and price cycles. “It bags” may fade, but icons anchor demand and hold long-term value.Omnichannel is the moat: Despite its digital roots, Fashionphile's growth shows that luxury resale thrives when online trust meets in-person experience. High-touch experiences—from extra photos and videos to in-store try-ons—turn trust into loyalty.Sarah Davis founded Fashionphile in 1999 after recognizing that luxury handbags held their value better than any other resale category. Trained in law, she transformed a one-woman eBay storefront into one of the largest platforms for buying and selling ultra-luxury handbags and accessories, headquartered in San Diego and New York City with operations in Tokyo and retail locations across the U.S. Davis spearheaded initiatives including The Book of Iconic Bags, the company's partnership with ambassador Nicole Richie, and new verticals such as the Investment Protection line and Parker West, Fashionphile's curated estate-jewelry brand.

Rescue Dogs Trained To Be PTSD Service Animals For Vets: From Shelter to Service. In a powerful Special Episode Podcast of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show, listeners are introduced to an inspiring story of second chances, for both people and dogs. Brett Simon from Big Dog Ranch Rescue in Palm Beach County, Florida, joins host Jay Wiley to share how rescue dogs are being trained to become PTSD service animals for veterans. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, is available for free on their website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and many other podcast platforms. “Every dog deserves a chance, and every veteran deserves help,” says Simon, a former Police K9 Handler and Military Combat Contractor who spent years working with canines in high-stress combat zones. “When we connect the two, a rescue dog needing purpose and a veteran needing healing, something extraordinary happens.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. From the Shelter to Service At Big Dog Ranch Rescue (BDRR), the largest cage-free, no-kill rescue in the United States, dogs once abandoned in shelters are given new lives through their Veteran Service Dog Training Program. The initiative not only transforms the lives of veterans struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but also saves the lives of the dogs themselves. Look for supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . The program's mission is simple yet profound: give rescue dogs a second chance by training them to become PTSD service dogs for veterans and active-duty military personnel. “We're giving hope twice,” Simon explains. “To the veteran who's struggling and to the dog who was once unwanted.” Rescue Dogs Trained To Be PTSD Service Animals For Vets: From Shelter to Service. The Healing Power of the Human-Animal Bond PTSD service dogs are specially trained to perform tasks that help alleviate symptoms and improve daily functioning for individuals living with post-traumatic stress. These dogs offer comfort, protection, and companionship, often becoming an essential part of a veteran's healing journey. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. Some of the trained tasks include: Interrupting flashbacks or anxiety attacks: by nudging or placing their head on their handler's lap. Providing comfort: through deep pressure therapy by leaning or lying against the veteran. Blocking and covering: positioning themselves in front or behind the veteran to create a sense of security. Waking from nightmares: recognizing distress and gently waking the veteran. Encouraging social interaction: helping veterans reconnect and feel more at ease in public spaces. “PTSD doesn't go away overnight,” Simon says. “But when you have a loyal companion who senses your anxiety and helps ground you, it changes everything. These dogs are trained not just to obey, they're trained to care.” Rescue Dogs Trained To Be PTSD Service Animals For Vets: From Shelter to Service. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Backed by the Veterans Administration The Veterans Administration recognizes Big Dog Ranch Rescue's program as a “Non-Traditional and Innovative” form of therapy. Through this recognition, BDRR works closely with the VA to ensure veterans receive comprehensive support while integrating their new service dogs into their daily lives. Training is provided entirely free of charge for veterans, although those from out of state are required to complete a 21-day on-site training session at the ranch in Florida (which may be spread over several months). Sponsorship opportunities are often available to help offset travel expenses. Each veteran-dog partnership is unique. BDRR's professional trainers use positive reinforcement techniques, tailoring each dog's training to match the veteran's individual needs and lifestyle. The dogs receive full vaccinations, microchipping, and access to reduced-cost veterinary care during their first year through BDRR's veterinary healing center. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Brett Simon's Personal Journey Brett Simon's credibility in this mission comes not only from his professional background but from his personal experience. As a Police K9 handler, Military K9 contractor, and combat veteran, Simon has lived through the trauma many of these veterans face. Rescue Dogs Trained To Be PTSD Service Animals For Vets: From Shelter to Service. “After my deployments, I struggled,” Simon admits in the podcast. “PTSD isn't something you can see on the outside. But working with dogs again helped me reconnect, with myself, with others, and with purpose.” His story of PTSD recovery resonates with countless veterans who find traditional therapy incomplete or inaccessible. Simon emphasizes that service dogs are a complement to, not a replacement for, existing mental health treatment plans. “A dog isn't the cure,” he says, “but they're part of the healing.” You can find the show on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, X (formerly Twitter), and LinkedIn, as well as read companion articles and updates on Medium, Blogspot, YouTube, and even IMDB. Science Supports the Bond Research has shown that PTSD service dogs help reduce anxiety and depression, improve emotional stability, and foster social connection. One study noted that veterans paired with service dogs reported a significant decrease in symptom severity and an improved quality of life. The unique human-animal bond offers veterans structure, companionship, and unconditional support — qualities often difficult to find after leaving the military. “Every partnership is different,” Simon explains. “Just like people, every dog has its own strengths. We simply find the right match.” A Mission of Hope and Second Chances At its core, Big Dog Ranch Rescue's Veteran Service Dog Training Program is about rescuing dogs from shelters and rescuing veterans from isolation. Rescue Dogs Trained To Be PTSD Service Animals For Vets: From Shelter to Service. Don't miss this episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. “Our mission is to end dog homelessness,” Simon says. “But in doing that, we're also ending hopelessness for so many of our nation's heroes.” Veterans interested in the program can apply through Big Dog Ranch Rescue's website or reach out via their Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn pages.

Leland Vittert didn't speak until age three. Diagnosed with what we now know as autism, he spent middle school crying himself to sleep while his father repeated one message: "The qualities that make you bullied now will make you successful later." In this raw conversation, Leland opens up about his memoir Born Lucky, a father-son story about choosing resilience over accommodation and truth over popularity. We talk about the decision his parents made not to shelter him from adversity, but to hold his hand through it. About learning to turn isolation into independence, and pain into purpose. This isn't a polished highlight reel. It's an honest look at neurodivergence, parenting choices, bullying, and what it costs to stand your ground when the truth matters most. Key moments: Growing up neurodivergent before we had the language for it The parenting decision that changed everything Why middle school bullying prepared him for Washington newsrooms Finding your voice when you literally couldn't speak The father-son relationship that became his foundation Whether you're a parent of a struggling kid, someone who's faced isolation, or anyone trying to find strength in their story, this conversation offers hope, honesty, and the reminder that your hardest seasons might be preparing you for something greater. Guest: Leland Vittert is a journalist and author of Born Lucky, chronicling his journey from a nonverbal child with severe learning disabilities to a voice millions trust.

A spoiled, cheerleading Valley Girl named Buffy Summers (Kristy Swanson) discovers she's destined to hunt vampires. Trained by her weary mentor Merrick (Donald Sutherland), she reluctantly takes up the fight against the ancient vampire Lothos (Rutger Hauer) and his minions. Mixing comedy, camp, and action, the movie follows Buffy's journey from shallow teen to unlikely hero, laying the groundwork for the darker, more acclaimed TV series that followed.
Today’s Bible Verse:"Keep me from deceitful ways; be gracious to me and teach me your law." — Psalm 119:29 The psalmist’s prayer in Psalm 119:29 is a humble plea for integrity and discernment. In a world filled with half-truths and self-justification, he asks God to protect him from deceit—not just from others, but from the subtle lies within his own heart. True freedom begins when we allow God’s truth to reshape our thinking and guide our choices. His Word becomes the compass that steers us away from false paths and into a life marked by honesty, humility, and grace. “Want to listen without ads?

For thousands of years, humans have sought healing from within — through breath, movement, and energy. Practices like Qigong, yoga, and, more contemporarily, Reiki have emerged from traditions as powerful ways to restore balance, vitality, and inner peace. Qigong uses slow, intentional movement and breath to cultivate life force energy, while yoga unites body and mind through postures and controlled breathing. Reiki, rooted in Japanese energy medicine, offers gentle, hands-on healing by channeling universal energy. In our current world of constant changes, stressors, and stimulations, are these ancient grounding practices for healing and harmony still viable?In this episode, we are joined by three expert guests within the tenets of Qigong, yoga, and Reiki. Firstly, Lisa Li is the founder of The Qi (a flowering tea wellness company) and a certified Qigong instructor, having trained in the traditional Chinese practice for 7 years. Lisa and The Qi have been featured on New York Magazine, Bon Appétit, Architectural Digest, Food & Wine, and Good Housekeeping.Melissa Jeng is a decade-long yoga and mindfulness teacher based in New York City. Trained through Yogamaya and with Jules Mitchell, Melissa pursued advanced training in biomechanics, meditation, trauma-informed yoga, and breath work.Margaret Wang is a Usui/Tibetan Reiki practitioner, having completed her training at The International Center for Reiki Training.Follow Friends of Franz Podcast: Website, Instagram, FacebookFollow Christian Franz (Host): Instagram, YouTube
In this jaw-dropping conversation, Dr. Holly Duckworth — a QHHT practitioner personally trained by Dolores Cannon — reveals what she's learned after analyzing over 1,500 Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique sessions with the Higher Self. Her conclusion? Earth isn't a trap. It's a school for the soul. Through decades of regression therapy, Dolores Cannon's work opened a portal into the quantum field, where people access past lives, parallel realities, and the multidimensional truth of consciousness itself. Now Holly continues that mission — merging psychology, quantum physics, and spiritual awakening to decode the real purpose of human existence.
On “Healthy Mind, Healthy Life,” host Avik speaks with author and artist-healer Deborah Lucas about transforming pain into presence. From a life-changing horse fall to learning Hellerwork (structural integration), Deborah explains how breath, body awareness, and attunement with horses dissolve long-held tension and grief. We cover myofascial release, nervous system grounding, reading equine signals, and building a daily practice that's practical, somatic, and sustainable. If you're navigating loss, chronic stress, or creative blocks, this episode breaks the process down with direct, usable steps. About the guest: Deborah Lucas is the author of “Dance While the Fire Burns: Identity, Family, and Dreams.” Trained as an MFA ceramic artist (UCLA), she later became a Hellerwork practitioner, applying myofascial release and breath-led awareness to both humans and horses. She lives on rural acreage with two rescue horses and teaches simple, grounded ways to reconnect to the body. Key takeaways: Breath is the fastest reset: slow nasal inhales and longer exhales downshift the nervous system and make space for healing and creative flow. Hellerwork helps unwind layered tension: slow, client-led myofascial release allows emotions stored in connective tissue to surface and resolve without overwhelm. Horses mirror you: equine cues (ears, lips, leaning, softening) reflect your internal state; calm presence and steady breathing invite trust and co-regulation. Practical ritual beats theory: simple acts—standing quietly, breathing with a horse, soaking a hoof, mindful hand-washing to “reset” energy—create reliable safety signals for the body. Nature regulates: daily contact with trees, gardens, and animals increases grounding; creativity returns when the environment is quiet and spacious. Art as somatic practice: watercolor's layering and clay's fire-to-form process model healing—release occurs in layers, outcomes are emergent, acceptance matters. Grief can transform: honoring loss (including end-of-life moments) deepens joy capacity and fuels honest, meaningful expression. Start today: one small act—intentional breathing plus a brief nature check-in—begins momentum without needing perfect circumstances.

Can trauma be inherited across generations? And more importantly—can it be stopped? Dr. Nadine Burke Harris has spent her career answering those questions. As California's first Surgeon General, she championed screening for ACEs, built networks between clinics and communities, and pushed for policies that save lives. In this conversation with Jess Larsen, Nadine shares the science, the policy battles, and the deeply human side of this work—from seeing patients transformed when told “you're not crazy” to showing how neuroplasticity means no one is permanently broken. It's science, leadership, and hope rolled into one. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
