Jack LaRoche and first-time contributor Trey Grace go undercover on the National Mall for the May 17th Christian nationalist event Rededicate 250. This White House-linked rally features prayer, fasting, patriotic worship, shofar blasts, AI George Washington, and rumors about whether Trump might appear in person (he didn't.) What begins as a sweaty field trip through Freedom250 pageantry turns into a tour of the increasingly fused worlds of Christian nationalism, the New Apostolic Reformation, Silicon Valley-backed prayer tech, AI evangelism, and Trump-era state religion cosplay. Along the way, the episode digs into America Prays, Pray.com, Peter Thiel-adjacent religious technology, Brian Alarid's dream of praying for every person on Earth by name, Lou Engle and Dutch Sheets' spiritual warfare rhetoric, and the “Appeal to Heaven” flag as a Christian nationalist signal. Religious studies scholar Dr. Matthew D. Taylor joins to explain how NAR networks, charismatic prophecy, and Trumpist politics have converged into a movement that sees itself not as lobbying the state, but as reclaiming it for God. Also: The Great Controversy, the Freedom Truck, the “algorithm of liberty,” and the ballroom theology of Eric Metaxas. Matthew D.

Matt Louis, is one of the nation's leading experts in career transition for members of the military community. He coaches individuals on their transition efforts and advises employers on hiring programs designed to successfully assimilate this valuable talent pool. He is the author of the award-winning and best-selling HarperCollins book, Mission Transition, a practical guide for veterans in career transition, their families, and their employers. His second book, Hiring Veterans, is a practical guide for organizational leaders on how to build programs to successfully assimilate veterans and military spouses. He is a Member of Louis Advisors LLC, a veteran-owned small business, was President of Purepost, Inc. and spent 17+ years at Deloitte where he became a Senior Manager and Practice Leader. Matt is a retired officer, US Army Active Duty and Reserve, 1991 to 2012. He graduated from the Military Academy at West Point and received his MBA at Indiana University – Kelly School of Business. Matt in discussion with Don Hutcheson:  "On average, today's transitioning veterans will be unemployed for 22 weeks before they find a job. And when they do, they are simply looking to replace a revenue source. They'll take a job to get any job – and it is usually not the right one. They'll rotate out of that job within the first year and a half, and they'll continue to job hop and job hop and job hop. So much so that by their sixth post-military job, 50 percent, yes, half of transitioning veterans are still not in their optimal career field. I would peg that their sixth job is between three to five years from when they re-entered civilian life.  That's alarming." "Why would I raise my right hand and enlist if today's service members are not finding full-time employment? And suicide rates continue to be at unacceptable levels. There is a direct correlation with all of these things."

They explore the hidden costs of the Iran conflict, the Strait of Hormuz, the growing gap between Wall Street and the real economy, and whether artificial intelligence could eliminate millions of white-collar jobs.Subscribe to Worth Knowing for independent analysis you won't find anywhere else: https://worthknowing.substack.com#Trump #Economy #Recession #Inflation #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Politics #Project2025 #Substack #WorthKnowing #LawrenceWinterman #AnneKim #IraShapiro #DonaldTrump #EconomicCrisis #WhiteCollarJobs #MiddleClass #Tariffs #Iran #StockMarket00:00 Introduction: Actions, consequences, and America's coming economic shock01:17 Why Trump won in 2024—and why many voters feel betrayed03:35 Introducing Anne Kim and Ira Shapiro04:29 The most destructive thing Trump has done06:26 DOGE, federal workforce cuts, and institutional damage08:17 Elections, democracy, and public trust10:24 What insiders say privately about Trump13:12 The assault on the rule of law15:02 Damage that may never be reversed16:10 Can America's political culture recover?18:07 Why former Trump voters are turning against him19:11 The meaning of "Betrayed"21:18 Trump's legislative legacy and the SALT deduction debate22:05 What the authors hope this book will accomplish23:17 Citizen action and political accountability24:07 Can institutional damage be repaired?25:08 Has Trump created a playbook for future presidents?26:31 The critical choice facing America in 202828:38 Transition to Lawrence Winterman29:42 The economic consequences are coming30:20 Oil tankers, inventory cushions, and delayed inflation33:19 When consumers will begin to feel the impact34:13 Why even reopening the Strait of Hormuz may not help35:18 The long-term "stupidity tax"36:32 Known consequences vs. unknown consequences37:13 AI spending, recession risks, and economic distortion39:34 AI, white-collar jobs, and the coming disruption40:16 Why the stock market is disconnected from the real economy41:11 Are tech CEOs quietly preparing for a major shift?43:04 AI layoffs and corporate adoption44:08 Could AI replace millions of white-collar jobs?45:12 Is the AI boom becoming a bubble?46:06 What AI means for writers, creators, and Substack47:18 How AI is changing work inside major corporations49:39 Could AI create more jobs than it destroys?50:25 The productivity gap explained52:33 What happens during economic transitions?53:37 Ross Perot's "giant sucking sound" revisited54:34 Trump's failure to prepare America for AI55:14 Policy ideas to soften the transition56:20 Universal basic income and other proposals57:24 Why the real problem is that we're not having the conversation58:03 The benefits—and risks—of technological progress59:14 Should AI be taxed?1:00:04 Why America may already be running out of time1:01:00 Final thoughts and next week's episode

Jay Ramsden is an Empty Nest Transformation Coach, Personal and Executive Coach, Motivational and Keynote Speaker, and host of This Empty Nest Life podcast. As the founder of "The Empty Nest Coach" and "This Empty Nest Life," Jay has turned his personal journey of overcoming significant life challenges into a beacon of light and hope for countless individuals who are seeking purpose and direction. He has his own experience of transitioning from Adversity to Adventure, and now he empowers Empty Nesters and Entrepreneurs to climb their own mountains. Jay's story is one of remarkable resilience and courage, losing his home to a fire in 2007, a devastating event which tested his family's strength and adaptability, dealing with the trials of the pandemic as an educator, and finally deciding to reinvent himself after a 30-year career in education. Jay's journey of transformation reached new heights when he decided to climb Mount Kilimanjaro as an empty nester. This wasn't just a physical challenge; it was a statement about what's possible when we say "YES" to life's opportunities. Jay's ascent of Kilimanjaro taught him a crucial lesson that now underpins his coaching philosophy: sometimes, you need to go slow to go fast. This insight translates powerfully to both the empty nest journey and entrepreneurial pursuits, where rushing through challenges can hinder true growth and innovation. But Jay didn't stop there. He embarked on the Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimage that further shaped his approach to life and coaching. On this journey, Jay discovered the joy of missing out (JOMO) – a concept that resonates deeply with empty nesters struggling with the fear of missing out (FOMO) on their children's lives, and with entrepreneurs learning to prioritize effectively. These experiences cemented Jay's belief that every step in life can and should be intentional, filled with purpose. Download this information-packed and inspirational episode to hear Jay's remarkable journey and discover how we can all transform our lives, say "YES" to life's opportunities, transform ourselves from Adversity to Adventure, and climb our own mountains.

Welcome to HALO Talks NYC! In this episode, in this episodes, host Pete Moore sits down with Vancouver-based fitness entrepreneurs Trevor Linden and Carl Ulmer to explore the fantastic growth behind Club 16 and She's Fit health clubs in British Columbia. From the early days of innovating women's-only fitness spaces to strategic brand evolution and ambitious expansion plans, Trevor and Carl share candid insights on adaptation, leadership, and building a values-driven organization.  They discuss how professional athletics translate to business, the increasing importance of inclusivity and wellness amenities, and what it takes to maintain a winning team culture in a rapidly changing industry. Whether you're a fitness operator, entrepreneur, or just curious how sports savvy shapes business success, this episode offers invaluable lessons and inspiration. On building fitness communities for all ages, Trevor states, "One of the best things I saw was that we had a group of, I think they're 75 years old, they go for coffee at Tim Hortons and they come in for a workout and it was a, it was exactly what we wanted to see is that is, is bringing fitness to, making it accessible for people." Key themes discussed Evolution of women's-only fitness models Brand alignment and personal reputation Transition from defense to offense post-COVID Facility upgrades and equipment trends Diversity's impact on fitness offerings Maintaining independence vs. partnering with private equity Staff culture and leadership development A Few Key Takeaways 1. Legacy of Adaptability and Innovation: Carl explained how his stepdad, Chuck Lawson, shifted from operating Gold's Gyms to pioneering women's-only fitness in British Columbia, launching Just Ladies Fitness, and later transitioning to the value-priced She's Fit brand when he noticed market trends shifting. Chuck exemplified never resting on success and continually adapting the business to meet evolving needs, which became a fundamental company value. 2. Authenticity in Leadership and Brand Alignment: Trevor described his careful assessment before putting his name on Club 16, emphasizing the importance of personal brand integrity and shared values with business partners. He insisted on active partnership rather than just lending his name for royalty, making sure his values and the company's vision matched. 3. Women's-Only Fitness is Booming: There is significant evidence of increasing demand and success in women's-only fitness spaces. Carl cited strong performance and expansion plans for She's Fit, attributing it to demographic diversity and a trend towards women seeking strength training and safer, private workout environments. Their locations are often at or over capacity, and new growth is a "no brainer." 4. Focus on Team and Culture Over Name Recognition: Both Trevor and Carl stressed that a brand name does not make a company successful; rather, it's the team and culture. They credit their deep bench of long-tenured employees, investing in people, and maintaining company values as key drivers of ongoing success, not just Linden's celebrity. 5. Growth Ambitions Are Grounded in Operational Discipline: The company has ambitious plans: aiming for 3 new She's Fit and 2 Club 16 locations annually starting in 2027, reaching about 41 locations by 2030. Despite increasing competition—including from private equity—they maintain operational independence, strong financials, and a preference for slow, quality-focused growth over rapid expansion for its own sake.

In this jam-packed crushed-fresh stone-solid hour-busting episode we do a trifecta response to one most excellent email from Rebecca.  We discuss portfolios for FI-lanthropy, options and resources for making a transition from a 100% stock portfolio with tax and ACA subsidy issues, the drawbacks of bucketeering compared with the joys of asset swaps, and the socio-political overhang attached to gold and how that is evolving towards more rational uses of it by big time retail personal finance and others.And THEN we our go through our weekly and monthly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Additional Links:Fairfax CASA Donation Page:  Donate - Fairfax CASA Father McKenna Center Donation Page:  Donate - Father McKenna CenterWells 4 Wellness:  Wells 4 Wellness - Wells 4 WellnessYield & Spread/FI-lanthropy:  The FI-lanthropy Pledge | Yield & SpreadThe Portfolio Matrix Tool:  Portfolio Matrix – Portfolio ChartsOutline of Financial Advisor Best Practices:  Strategic Retirement Planning: A Summary of Best Practices from Tenon Financial - Google DocsHow To Do An Asset Swap Video from Risk Parity Chronicles:  How to Do an Asset SwapAfford Anything Risk Parity Portfolio Blueprint:  Afford Anything frank-vasquez-risk-parity-portfolio-BluePrint.pdf - Google DriveCatching Up to FI Gold Episode:  I Love Goooooold?! :) | Frank Vasquez | 184Interview of Bob Elliot on the Compound Podcast re Gold (start at 1:10):  The Blue Chips of Junk | TCAF 175Breathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:You can do everything “right,” follow a simple index plan, retire early, and still wake up one day as an accidental 100% stock investor. That's what happened to Rebecca and Joe, early retirees in their mid-30s who needed fast cash for a home purchase and ended up selling bonds and leaning on a margin bridge. Now they're staring at a stock-only portfolio, big unrealized gains, and a real constraint most advice ignores: diversifying could blow up taxes and ACA health insurance subsidies.We walk through a risk parity mindset built for real life, not perfect spreadsheets. We use Portfolio Charts to compare diversified asset allocation models by safe withdrawal rate, volatility, Ulcer Index, and drawdowns, and we explain why portfolios like the Golden Ratio and Golden Butterfly can be surprisingly “philanthropy-friendly” if you want to spend and give consistently. Then we get practical: stop treating taxable and retirement accounts like separate buckets, rebalance the diversifiers inside retirement accounts first, and learn how an asset swap can fund spending while keeping your overall allocation on track.We also tackle the emotional side, especially gold. If gold feels like a doomsday signal, we unpack the uniquely American baggage behind that reaction, why ETFs changed everything, and how gold can function as plain old diversification alongside intermediate and long-term Treasury bonds and even managed futures. We close with our weekly sample portfolio reviews and June distribution updates so you can see the framework in motion.Subscribe, share the episode with a fellow DIY investor, and leave a rating or review so more early retirees can find a calmer way to diversify.Support the show

Some conversations stay with you long after they end, and my discussion with Dr Heather Herington was one of them. A naturopathic medical doctor and homeopath, Heather shared how her experiences with trauma, loss, and the death of her husband shaped both her life and her approach to healing. We explored her belief that recovery involves more than physical health, combining biochemistry with storytelling, emotional expression, and the arts. Heather also reflected on her experiences with homeopathy, challenges within the healthcare system, and why helping people reframe their personal narratives can be an important part of healing. Episode Highlights: 04:01 - Dr. Heather's Journey into Homeopathy 05:15 - Transition from Practice to Creative Arts 07:14 - The Impact of Personal Loss 10:25 - The Role of Homeopathy in Healing 14:01 - Expressive Arts as a Healing Tool 18:34 - The Importance of Creativity in Healing 22:00 - Current Issues in Canada: MAID and Gender Dysphoria 25:29 - Balancing Awareness and Action 28:04 - The Therapeutic Power of Different Voices 32:21 - Dr. Heather's Books 36:43 - Challenges with Social Media and Censorship About my Guests: Dr. Heather Herington is a naturopathic medical doctor, homeopath, author, and performer with extensive expertise in trauma recovery and the treatment of complex, difficult-to-resolve health conditions. Her unique approach combines two essential elements of healing: restoring biochemical balance within the body and helping individuals explore, tell, or revise the stories and experiences that have shaped their lives. With a deep understanding of the connection between mind, body, and emotions, Dr. Herington works with individuals experiencing psychological trauma, chronic pain, autoimmune disorders, addiction, and other chronic health challenges. She believes that true healing occurs when both the physiological and emotional roots of illness are addressed. Beyond her clinical work, Dr. Herington is an accomplished writer of nonfiction, fiction, librettos, and radio plays, as well as a stage and voice-over performer. She is a passionate advocate for the expressive arts and their power to facilitate healing, personal transformation, and resilience. Through her work, she continues to inspire others to embrace creativity as a pathway toward health, recovery, and well-being.

Welcome to the age of AI slopaganda, where the synthetic videos are nearly indistinguishable from the real, the real videos are getting more suspect, and everyone is one fake Instagram Reel away from becoming the Facebook boomer they once mocked. Liv examines the newest iterations of AI-generated political propaganda, including Trump posting a fake video of himself throwing Stephen Colbert in a dumpster, “Swifties for Trump,” Mike Collins' AI Jon Ossoff, Spencer Pratt's Batman campaign ads, Iranian Lego anti-Hegseth videos, fake Netanyahu death images, deepfakes targeting women in politics, the Dean Phillips/Biden robocall, Gavin Newsom's JD Vance couch slop, and Cuomo's anti-Mamdani AI ads. We explore how “satire,” misinformation, engagement bait, and campaign strategy are collapsing into one ugly sludge pile.

The Students You're Still Worried AboutAs the school year winds down, most people are focused on celebrations, graduations, and summer plans. But school counselors know there's another side to this season—the students we're still thinking about.In this heartfelt episode of Counselor Chat, we'll talk about the students who stay on our minds long after the final bell rings. The students who still struggle with friendships, attendance, anxiety, family challenges, or simply finding their place in the world.You'll learn:Why it's normal to worry about certain students as summer approachesWhat you can realistically do before the school year endsSimple ways to help students identify supports and prepare for summerHow to effectively hand off information to next year's teamWhy counselors need to remember they are only one chapter—not the entire storyIn This Episode:✔️ Supporting vulnerable students before summer break✔️ Creating meaningful final check-ins✔️ Helping students identify trusted adults and support systems✔️ Transition planning and counselor-to-counselor handoffs✔️ Letting go of the pressure to "fix everything" before June✔️ Trusting that the seeds you've planted will continue to growKey TakeawayYou don't have to solve every problem before summer. Sometimes the greatest gift we give students is consistency, connection, and the reminder that they matter.The fact that you're still worried about certain students doesn't mean you haven't done enough—it means you cared deeply.Connect with Carol

Rob Couture welcomes back Kristina Keenan, Director of VFW National Legislative Service, alongside Ryan Gallucci, Executive Director of the VFW Washington Office, for a wide-ranging conversation on the latest veterans' legislation and advocacy efforts on Capitol Hill. The episode covers recent House Veterans Affairs Committee hearings on VA restructuring, toxic exposure oversight, expanded dental care, and transition support programs. The team also breaks down major updates surrounding the Major Richard Star Act, including growing bipartisan momentum and ongoing negotiations in Congress. Ryan and Kristina provide an important update on the VFW's fight against "claim sharks" following a significant federal court ruling against Veterans Guardian, reinforcing long-standing concerns about unaccredited companies exploiting veterans for profit. Later in the episode, co-host Brittany Dymond Murray sits down with Toni Lavery, co-founder and executive director of the Fox Force Foundation, to discuss empowering women veterans and first responders through mentorship, resilience, and community — including an upcoming historic all-women D-Day jump into Normandy featuring VFW National Commander Carol Whitmore.

In this episode, Ben Felix and Braden Warwick unpack the surprisingly complex world of expected return modeling and why it matters so much for retirement projections, portfolio construction, and financial advice. They explain how PWL Capital currently estimates expected returns across asset classes, why traditional Monte Carlo methods relying on Gaussian distributions may miss important market behaviors, and how new research could improve the realism of long-term financial planning simulations. The conversation also explores a fascinating collaboration between PWL and Columbia Engineering student John Yang, who worked with Professor Michael Robbins on a project to build more realistic synthetic return data for financial planning. John explains how his team used empirical distributions, t-copulas, and Extreme Value Theory to better capture market crashes, fat tails, and asset co-movements during periods of stress. Ben and Braden then analyze how these improved simulation methods affect financial planning outcomes, sustainable spending estimates, and projections for long-term wealth accumulation.   Key Points From This Episode: (0:00:00) Introduction to expected return modeling and why it matters for financial planning.  (0:00:25) The importance of volatility, correlations, distribution shape, and time-series behavior in portfolio projections.  (0:01:26) How Scott Cederburg's research on block bootstrapping influenced PWL's thinking on simulations.  (0:02:03) Introduction to Columbia Engineering student John Yang and the industry research collaboration.  (0:03:30) How Conquest Planning allows PWL to upload custom return simulations.  (0:04:05) A new PWL client's detailed reasoning for moving from DIY investing to working with an advisor.  (0:06:22) Why financial planning and Monte Carlo simulations were central to the client's decision.  (0:07:22) Cross-border financial complexity and the value of professional advice.  (0:08:03) Estate planning, cognitive decline, and the role of trusted financial relationships.  (0:10:02) Research on cognitive decline and its impact on financial decision-making.  (0:12:00) Delegation, accountability, and reducing mental overhead through advisory relationships.  (0:13:47) Why the client chose PWL specifically and the appeal of evidence-based investing.  (0:15:25) Ben and Braden discuss the perceived disconnect between online discourse and demand for AUM advisors.  (0:16:12) Overview of PWL's methodology for estimating expected returns across asset classes.  (0:17:05) How PWL combines historical returns with market-implied expected returns.  (0:18:07) The use of factor premiums and expected return composition in taxable projections.  (0:18:48) Why PWL previously relied on Gaussian multivariate normal distributions for simulations.  (0:19:41) Arithmetic vs. geometric mean returns and why the distinction matters.  (0:21:01) A simple example illustrating volatility drag.  (0:23:29) Why diversification benefits must be incorporated into expected portfolio returns.  (0:25:15) How correcting portfolio math improved expected return estimates by 20–30 basis points.  (0:27:12) Transition to John Yang's interview and introduction to synthetic data generation.  (0:30:07) John explains the limitations of Gaussian return assumptions.  (0:31:04) Why realistic sequences of returns matter for retirement planning.  (0:32:16) Empirical evidence that returns are not truly random.  (0:33:25) The three modeling challenges: unique asset behavior, realistic co-movement, and tail risk.  (0:37:49) Separating marginal distributions from dependency structures in the modeling process.  (0:38:48) Using a t-copula to better model asset co-movement during market stress.  (0:39:39) Why historical data alone struggles to capture rare crisis events.  (0:40:06) Applying Extreme Value Theory and Generalized Pareto Distributions to model tail risk.  (0:42:15) How Monte Carlo simulations generate many realistic future return paths.  (0:43:00) Imposing forward-looking expected returns and volatility assumptions onto the simulations.  (0:44:56) How the new framework better preserves skewness and kurtosis.  (0:46:38) Evaluating the new model using marginal shape, tail behavior, and co-movement scores.  (0:48:10) Why the new model significantly improved tail realism without sacrificing correlations.  (0:49:05) Future extensions including dynamic correlations and volatility clustering.  (0:50:28) Potential future use of GANs and machine learning for synthetic financial data.  (0:52:02) Key takeaway: financial planning requires realistic return paths, not just summary statistics.  (0:53:41) Braden analyzes how the new simulation framework affects financial advice.  (0:55:04) Why monthly index data produced fatter tails than long-term annual DMS data.  (0:58:47) The new model improved Monte Carlo success rates by roughly 2–3%.  (1:00:25) Sustainable spending estimates changed only modestly under the new simulations.  (1:02:27) Why the improved methodology matters more for alternative asset classes.  (1:04:25) The surprising finding that median wealth outcomes increased while mean outcomes decreased.  (1:05:47) Why Gaussian simulations can create unrealistic runaway wealth scenarios.  (1:07:20) The practical implications for estate planning and multi-generational wealth projections.  (1:08:30) Why better simulation methods are especially important for concentrated and alternative investments.   Links From Today's Episode: Meet with PWL Capital: https://calendly.com/d/3vm-t2j-h3p Rational Reminder on iTunes — https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-rational-reminder-podcast/id1426530582.

In this episode Betsy recounts her trip to Florida and the signs that she experienced while traveling. She explains the ‘put it down’ practice and how it can best serve us in our lives as well as how our brains notice things based on our focuses. This one is a good one if you need a reminder to take stock and choose you. Transcript:  Welcome to The Art of Living Big, where we explore how to live intentionally and with more joy. I’m Betsy Pake, your host, master, coach, and creator of the Navigate Method. Here to help you listen in to your true desires, elevate your standards, and live life to the fullest. Now, let’s go live big. Hi, everybody. Welcome to the show today. I recorded this yesterday, and it was amazing. You missed a really good show. My microphone wasn’t on, and I, if you are new here, I do these podcasts. I come up with an idea, and then I just talk. So the kinda cool thing is this will be a totally different show than yesterday, although the same topic. I s- I’m sticking to the same theme ’cause I do have a story that I wanna tell you, and it may be a story that you heard if you’re on my mail list. But I wanna dive in a little bit deeper, and I wanna give you some tools, as we go through this. I wanna talk a little bit about my, my trip to Florida and something very cool that happened, and I, I’m gonna call it magic. I believe that there’s magic that happens all around us, and I believe you have magic that happens all around you, too. So I’m gonna tell you how to find it and how to use it So I’m gonna tell you how to find it and how to use it so that you can actually make your life easier and, you know, maybe a little bit more fun too. So if you’ve been here for a while, you may know that my whole dang life I’ve wanted to move to the beach, and just a few months ago I got the idea that actually there was nothing stopping me and I could do that. And so this, th- I guess it was last weekend, two weekends ago. Memorial Day was this past weekend. The weekend before, I decided I was gonna go down to Florida and I was gonna look around. You know, if you listen to the episode about how I make big decisions, I really was leaning into California, and in fact, had a trip planned for California for this week that ended up getting rerouted. But I had decided that I was also gonna check out Florida for a lot of different reasons. You know, I grew up on the East Coast. Um, my dad is on the East Coast. He, he … And I’m h- I, I was about to say he’s elderly. I guess he is. He’s 85. I guess, I guess that is elderly. It just feels weird to call him that, but he is. He’s not sick or anything. He’s b- he’s a busy dude. But you know, it just feels good to be here. My son lives here in Atlanta, and so I, I would love to be a, a drive away or a 90-minute flight instead of, like, a whole day of travel, you know? So there’s a lot of things, besides the taxes and all of those things. I don’t have a runway like a 30-year-old. I have a runway like a 55-year-old that’s been divorced a couple times, you know what I mean? So we gotta be using our brains here. So I was like, “I’m gonna just go down to Florida and I’m gonna look around.” Tampa checks a lot of boxes because there’s the big airport, it’s a city, it’s by the beach, and, like, that St. Petersburg area. I’m like, “Okay. Well, this could be a place where I could see myself.” And so I thought, “I’m gonna go down there. I’m gonna rent a car and just drive all over.” And as it ended up, somebody reached out from Instagram, and she lives there, and she was like, “I’ll show you around.” And I had, like, the best w- I had the best weekend with her. So it was like I made a really good friend while I was down there. But here’s what happened. I decided I was gonna go down Thursday night. So I was gonna be here for my coaching that I do. We have the Navigate group on Thursdays, and I n- I never miss it. Like, it is a strange, strange moment if I miss it. Um, maybe once a year I will miss. Like, I, I mean, I, this is, like, my favorite thing ever, so I never wanna not be there. So I, although I have coaches that are amazing, and they would be amazing, but I’m just like, “I wanna, I, I wanna be there.” So I’m like, “I’ll do the coaching, and then- pack up my stuff, and head to the airport. I’ll take a flight that night. I’ll land in Tampa. I’ll just get a hotel right near the airport. That’ll be easy-peasy, and then in the morning when it’s light out, I’ll begin my adventure, you know? The next day, Friday morning, was my birthday. It was my 55th birthday. And here’s the thing. I thought to myself, “You know, I wanna be by the ocean on my birthday. That sounds really fun. And, you know, why not have a little adventure?” So that Thursday morning when I was prepping for the Navigate group, I thought, “I need to go bring my cat to the kitty hotel,” right? Like, get Dean Martin situated. Then I can do my thing and head out. And when I was walking around the house, I was, you know, picking up stuff and playing with the cat and doing whatever I needed to do, and I was talking to my mother. Now, if you’re new here, my mother transitioned back when I was in high school, when I was 16. She died when I was … Transition is such a… She croaked. When I was 16 she died in a car accident, and so I’ve never… You know, I haven’t gotten a birthday present from her since I was 16. And I said out loud, “You know, I talk to you a lot, and I trust that you’re here.” But I don’t know. You know, I was kinda like in one of those, like, prove it kind of moods. So I was like, “I don’t know. I don’t know if you’re really here, but if you are, I would like a birthday present. Haven’t had a birthday present from you in a long time, and I would love a birthday present, and I would love if it was something really obvious.” Do you guys do that, too, where you’re like, “Make it a sign,” and then the sign comes, and then you’re like, “Make it a signier sign. I need it to be super signed.” So I was like, “I want a birthday present. I want it to be really obvious.” And I said out loud, “I want it to be really obvious, not like an Amazon gift card or something,” which is kind of a weird thing to say, ’cause I would happily accept an Amazon gift card. But I, you know, said it out loud, and I actually felt it when I said that. Like, it felt funny when I said it, and then I continued. I was busy, busy. I was a busy girl all day. And anyway, I get to the airport. I get settled into the Sky Club because I have a Delta corporate card. I’m about to tell you all of the things that I require to travel, but I’m also too cheap to pay for them, so I have like a million workarounds. So first of all, I got my flight for free using points. I buy a coach seat, but I am Platinum, so I always get upgraded. Why am I Platinum? It’s not because I travel all the time, but it’s because I use my Delta corporate card for everything, for all my business stuff, right? So we end up putting a lot through that, and it gets me to Platinum status, okay? The cool thing about Platinum is you get to choose, like, your present, you know what I mean? Like, you get to choose the thing that you get. And so I have chosen, and I think you have to choose for the year, and I have chosen that I would get upgraded. So I always buy a coach seat, and typically I’ll get upgraded at least to Comfort Plus. I’m a short woman, so it’s not like I need a ton of leg room, but I like … I, I, I feel like my thing is I like- space. Like I don’t like to be herded places, and I don’t wanna feel crowded or rushed. Like that really stresses me out. So I get to the airport, I go to the Sky Club, which I have access to because I have the corporate card, not ’cause I, I’m too cheap to pay for that. But I have a corporate card, and go to the Sky Club, I hang out. It’s time to board the plane, and I look and I’m still not upgraded. And I’m like, “This is really weird.” I mean, it’s a short flight, so like I can hang in coach, but I’m in the middle. And I’m always on the end. Like I, I, I know it’s only 90 minutes, but I always have to pee. Like I’m like, I g- I need to be on the end. I don’t wanna be like in the middle. Ugh. But I’m in the back of the plane. I’m like in seat 29 in the middle seat. But it’s 90 minutes. I’m like, “It’s fine.” I get on the plane. There I am, like, you know, with my shoulders in, I’m as small as I can be so that the people on either side are taking up so much room. And I’m thinking to myself like, “You know what? I hate this.” Like I just do. And it’s okay. I’ll survive, right? Like it’s, if this is the worst of my issues this weekend. But I hate it. And so then the s- airline, um, not the pilot, the flight attendant says, “You know, we’ve oversold this flight.” It was already like delayed. You know? It was like 10 minutes delayed or something. Like it was a busy and it was late, you know. And I could tell they’re tired, and they’re like, “We’ve oversold this flight, and we need somebody to get off the plane and get on a flight two hours later if somebody’s interested in doing that.” Can you ring your bell? You know? So I ring my bell. ‘Cause immediately I’m like, “I don’t even wanna be on this flight. Like, I, I would pay you to go to the next flight.” And they’re giving a $600 voucher, so I’m like, I mean, I travel enough, I have enough things planned, so I’m like, “Yeah, heck yeah, I’ll do that.” Ring my little bell, the flight attendant comes over. She says to me, like, “Do you have luggage?” I’m like, “It’s on the plane.” She’s like, “It’ll be there waiting for you.” I’m like, “That’s great. I trust, I trust.” So I get off the plane, and the people at the f- at the gate, like the f- attendants at the gate are like, “Oh, did you… Thank you for, you know, shifting and going to the later flight.” I mean, it boards in, like, an hour, so I’m like, I’ll just go back to the Sky Club, get a drink, and by the time it’s, I’m done my drink, it’ll be time to board. And nobody’s waiting for me. I’m just… I just got a hotel at the, at the airport. Do you know what I mean? So I’m like, this is no… Like, how nice for somebody else that they could get off the plane, and I am gonna get a $600 voucher. So she says, “Thank you.” I’m like, “Yep, no problem.” And then she’s like, “It won’t print.” And she keeps trying to print, print the voucher, print the voucher, and then she says to the woman next to her, “Do you know why this isn’t printing?” And she’s like, “Well, press this, you know, press that. Try it again. Can you refresh? Maybe if we…” Like, they’re, they’re, they’re going through it, you know? And like I said, it’s late. I can tell these people have had a day. Like, she’s just like, “I can’t get this to print.” So she calls, and she says, like, “It’s printing, but it’s not printing the voucher.” And she’s like, “Will you email it?” So then she looks at me, and she’s like, “Can you check your email?” I’m checking my email. I’m checking my junk. There’s nothing. She’s like, “Try to email it again. It’s not coming through.” She doesn’t have anything. They try it again. And finally she shoves a piece of paper in my hand, and was like, “Here, take this.” So I took the paper and went on my way. I got myself a drink, I sat down, and I looked down, and what did I have but a voucher for a $600 Amazon gift card. Now- Here’s the thing. Here’s the thing. What is actually happening? What’s actually happening? Now, you could hear this story and be like, “Well, that was a coincidence.” Like random, like really good timing, funny timing. Or I could tell you that there’s magic, magic all around us, and it is just what we choose to believe. Everything is what we choose to believe. And both of those things are true. It could be a coincidence, could be random. It is funny timing, and it does feel magical, and that is what I would like to believe. But here’s what else is true, is that there is part of our brain that you’ve heard of called the reticular activating system, the RAS, and its job is to filter, okay? So your brain is taking in like several million pieces of information every second. And when I say your brain, I mean, like, your nervous system. So, like, you’re seeing things and hearing things and feeling things and smelling things. Like, all this stuff is coming in all at once. And you can only consciously pr- like, process 126 of those pieces of information, so that means there’s a lot of information that’s just getting lost. It stays in the back of your mind. It stays in your brain. You just aren’t consciously aware of it. So there’s like a little mailman in there that is filtering stuff. It’s taking in all the mail and looking at it and throwing you the pieces that it thinks are important. It decides what gets through to your conscious awareness and what gets tossed out as, like, background noise. So the RAS filters for what you’re focused on. I remember when I bought my car. I have a little white SUV. It’s not rare. But I bought that car and I thought, “I’ve never seen this car before. Like, this is so unique and special,” I thought. I bought it, and now sometimes I go to the grocery store and I’ll come out and there’s like four of them in a row. Like, they’re everywhere. Everybody has them. I just wasn’t looking for them before. My RAS wasn’t set to notice those. So when I asked my mom for a sign, and I said, “Make it obvious,” and when I joked about an Amazon gift card, I set my RAS to look for it. And so when it showed up, I felt something. I noticed. Someone else might have glanced at the voucher and thought, “Oh, .” Y- you know, whatever. . But I was looking for magic, and so I saw it. I felt it as proof So here’s what I’ve been thinking about since that trip. When we are sitting in the middle of hard things, you know, a hard decision. I, I was going down there to look for a place that I was gonna move to live, and I’ll give you the update on that. It’s… There’s… I, I still have questions. But when we’re in the middle of this big, hard decision, it can feel really crushing to carry it all by ourselves. You know, I was feeling that, the weight of it, the fear that I’m gonna choose wrong or miss something, the exhaustion of trying to figure out every single piece of this all on our own. And, you know, I talk a lot when I talk online, and I talk about the Navigate method, and I talk about how important it is for women to make decisions for themselves, and I believe that. I believe nobody else should make the decision for you, ’cause this is how we learn to trust ourselves. But what if we didn’t have to totally do it all on our own? What if we could hand something over, like, like, like, one little thing, and let ourselves be guided? You know, let ourselves be cared for. I, uh, this weekend or that weekend, it was last weekend it was such a lesson in allowing myself to be cared for. You know, did, did my mother give me the $600 Amazon gift card? I think so, but I think she also gave me the friend that took care of me, that took care of everything. If you follow along on Instagram, you know I got food poisoning. She took care of me. She mothered me. And I needed that so bad. And so what if we could let ourselves be guided, let ourselves be cared for, let the universe meet us part way? I’m not saying let somebody else make the decision for you, but I’m saying the decision can be easier when you’re not white-knuckling your way through it all by yourself. So here’s where I think the brain part of this gets really interesting. You know, when we grip, you know, when we’re in control mode, when we’re trying to force an outcome or manage every single variable, our nervous system is really in protection mode. And then what does my RAS do, is it starts filtering for threats, right? It starts looking for like, “Oh my God, she thinks something’s gonna go wrong. What could go wrong? What do I need to control? What am I missing? What am I not seeing? Show her the fear. Show her the unsteadiness.” Right? And when your brain is doing that, you literally can’t see the help that’s available. You can’t notice the signs. You can’t receive any new ideas or, you know, the other options and, you know, doors that you wanna be open seem closed, because your brain isn’t scanning for that stuff. Your brain is scanning for danger. It’s scanning for what could go wrong. It’s scanning for all the times you’re walking on eggshells or afraid you’re gonna make a wrong decision. But when you physically let go, when you open your hands, when you open your hands and you ask for help out loud, something shifts. I do think there’s something magical about speaking it out loud. I think when I was talking to my mom and I was doing it out loud, I could… There was something. Have you ever had that feeling where you’re like, “I feel something moving in me,” you know? And our nervous system reads that as safety, right? It stops filtering for threat- And it starts filtering for possibility when I’m speaking out loud, when I’m calm, when my hands are open. You start noticing things you couldn’t notice before, not ’cause they weren’t there, but just ’cause your brain wasn’t looking for them. Okay, so there’s another piece to this. Your brain is also a, a pattern-matching machine. Like, it’s constantly scanning for patterns. It’s constantly trying to prot- te- uh, I wanna say protect, but no, predict. I w- it’s constantly trying to predict what’s going to happen based on what’s happened before. And when you’re stuck in hard decisions, when you’re stuck in looping on the same thoughts over and over again, you’re reinforcing those same neural pathways. You’re telling your brain basically, “This is the pattern. This is what we do here.” And your brain just keeps running that pattern over and over and over again. This is how come, like, y- y- you know, your partner may stomp around the house, and you go, “Oh, my God. I know what’s gonna happen ’cause I know what happened before,” right? I, I can feel it. I know something’s gonna go sideways. And so you start walking on eggshells. You start being… You’re hypervigilant. You’re listening for w- whatever sound, rustle in the grass you need to be aware of so that you can protect yourself, right? But when you let go, when you put something down, you know, it, your brain can, can shift to something new. It’s not like you’re doing something wrong by listening to those patterns, it’s just that your brain is doing what it’s designed to do, and it’s conserving energy, right? So it’s running a program that it already knows. But when you put it down, then you create space, and in that space, you can form all new patterns. You know, new thoughts can come to you, new ideas can come through, new possibilities can show up that weren’t available when you were gripping really hard. And this is why people say things like, um, like, “I stopped trying so hard, and then it just happened. Like, I don’t know, it just happened. As soon as I let go of needing it to work out, like, it just became obvious.” And it’s not magic. Well, it’s a little magic, but it’s neuroscience. You created space, and your brain had room to find a new pattern. Okay, so here’s how we’re gonna put this into practice. I’m gonna give you something you can try this week. I call it the put it down, put it down practice, and it is designed to shift you from really gripping to having your hands open and receiving. So it’s, it moves you from that, like, control mode to open mole- mode, and then y- you, you kinda stop… You stop scanning for threat, and then you start essentially scanning for what’s available. So here’s how it works. Step one is you’re gonna name what you’re holding. So say it out loud if you can, like the decision, the outcome, the how. So I’m holding the question of whether to stay or go. I’m holding the fear that I’m gonna choose wrong. I’m holding the need to figure out how this is all gonna work before I take my first step. So just name it, whatever it is. I’m holding the overwhelm of trying to find where to live. So step two is you physically put your hands out. There is a, a, a loop between your body and your brain, and I’m gonna use my body to send alerts to my brain. I know it sounds kinda simple, but your, your body and your brain are connected. So when you open your hands, you’re signaling to your nervous system that you’re receiving. You’re not grasping, you’re available, right? Not defending anything. It’s, it’s how your nervous system reads safety, okay? So you’re gonna physically put your hands out, palms up. And then step three is you’re gonna ask out loud, “What’s the one thing I can hand over right now?” Not, “What should I do?” Or not, like, “How do I fix this?” But, “What is one thing I can hand over?” And you’re gonna ask it to the universe, or to God, or, uh, to your dead mom. Like whatever it is, whatever it is that works for you. And ask it to the part of you that already knows. It doesn’t matter who you’re asking, really. It just matters that you’re asking. And then step four is that you’re just gonna wait. Don’t answer it yourself. Don’t, like, fill that silence with your own voice. Just wait and let the answer come to you. This is such a skill to learn to just, like, wait until you feel something. So then the fifth step, I guess we’d be on step five, right? Notice what shows up in the next 24 hours, 48 hours. It might be a thought you didn’t have before, a conversation that feels different than it would have a couple days ago. You know, maybe an opportunity that opens up, you weren’t even looking for one. Maybe it’s a $600 Amazon gift card when you specifically said not that. The point is, you’re not looking for something, like, specific. You’re not looking for a specific answer. You’re looking for movement. You’re looking for the thing that you couldn’t see when you were holding on so tight, you know? I did ask my dad, I said, “What are you sending me?” ‘Cause my mom gave me a $600 gift card. “What are you gonna get me?” It was probably a joint gift, I think. So this is what happens when you’re sitting in the middle of a, a big decision. You know, trying to move to the beach, trying to make a decision about your marriage, and you’re trying to logic your way through it all alone. You keep pushing. You keep thinking. You keep trying to see around corners and, you know, predict outcomes, manage things that you can’t actually control, and then your brain keeps running the same loop, right? It keeps asking the same questions and having the same fears and patterns. So what if, what if you didn’t have to carry all that by yourself? What if you could just hand one thing over and let yourself be supported, let yourself be guided, let yourself receive help instead of white-knuckling your way through it alone? I, I don’t think the decision gets made for us, but the decision gets clearer, I think, when you stop gripping so hard. So pick something this week. Maybe it’s something easy, something that doesn’t have a lot of emotional charge to it, and do the put it down practice. Do- just try it once. See what happens. Name the thing you’re holding, open your hands, ask the question out loud, wait, and then pay attention. Because magic is all around us. It’s, it’s just what we choose to believe, and if your brain is designed to find what you’re looking for, ask it to look for help. Ask it to look for signs. Look for the thing that you couldn’t see when you were in protection mode. And I think when you can do that, that is how you live a big life. If you want help on this journey, we’ve got some spots available on the calendar this week. Um, if you are interested in the Navigate Method, or if you’re not quite there yet, you’re like, “I don’t, I don’t wanna go all in on all that,” I have a process on my website called The Bridge, and it is a truth map that will guide you to the next right thing. And then maybe at that point you’ll be ready to do some of the deeper work inside the Navigate Method. But we are here when you’re ready. Be open to it and allow us to help pick up what you’re carrying. I love you guys so much. I’ll see you next week Thanks for joining me on The Art of Living Big.

For nine years and over 1100 episodes Dan Friesen and his co-host Jordan Holmes helmed the podcast Knowledge Fight, where they unpacked and analyzed the neverending flood of nonsense that flowed from the mouth of Alex Jones through his media empire Infowars. After it was announced that Alex Jones' ownership of Infowars had ended, even if his career as a broadcaster had not, Knowledge Fight decided to call it quits earlier this month, ending a podcasting run that began in 2017. We speak to Dan about what it's like to spend nearly a decade covering Alex Jones, why people are still drawn to Jones, the value of debunking, The Onion's deal to take over the Infowars brand, and how his brain is healing now that he no longer listens to unhinged rants every week. https://www.showmestateofmind.com/ Subscribe for $5 a month to get all the premium episodes: www.patreon.com/qaa Check out our new podcast series network Cursed Media!

While the podcast team is taking a Radical Sabbatical, Kim is interviewing authors of the books that have had a big impact on her in the past two years.  In this episode, Kim speaks with Gary Gerstle, best-selling author of The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Order and ten other books. Kim said that after reading this book, she began to feel that when it comes to economic policy, we really have a one-party system. The architect of the New Deal Order was FDR, a Democrat, but its general contractor was Eisenhower, arguably the most progressive of all American presidents. The architect of the Neoliberal order was Reagan, but its general contractor was Clinton. Kim also said that reading this book made her realize that, time and again throughout her career, she thought she was working towards progressive ends, not understanding how neoliberalism had taken hold of the Democratic Party.  Gerstle explains that “the phrase political order is meant to connote a constellation of ideologies, policies, and constituencies that shape American politics in ways that endure beyond the two-, four-, and six-year election cycles. In the last hundred years, America has had two political orders: the New Deal order that arose in the 1930s and 1940s, crested in the 1950s and 1960s, and fell in the 1970s; and the neoliberal order that arose in the 1970s and 1980s, crested in the 1990s and 2000s, and fell in the 2010s At the heart of each of these two political orders stood a distinctive program of political economy. The New Deal order was founded on the conviction that capitalism left to its own devices spelled economic disaster. It had to be managed by a strong central state able to govern the economic system in the public interest. The neoliberal order, by contrast, was grounded in the belief that market forces had to be liberated from government regulatory controls that were stymying growth, innovation, and freedom. The architects of the neoliberal order set out in the 1980s and 1990s to dismantle everything that the New Deal order had built across its forty-year span. Now it, too, is being dismantled.  Alarmingly, there seems to be no coherent policy around whatever it is replacing the Neoliberal order–just a mad grab for wealth, leading to even greater disparities than those that led to the Gilded Age's excesses and to the Great Depression. Guest Background: Gary Gerstle is Paul Mellon Professor of American History Emeritus and Paul Mellon Director of Research at the University of Cambridge. He is the author and editor of more than ten books, including two prizewinners, American Crucible (2017) and Liberty and Coercion (2015).

In this episode, Carlos McAdory shares his unbelievable journey from growing up in St. Paul, Minnesota, to becoming involved in street crime, armed robberies, and eventually receiving a federal life sentence. He breaks down how a local robbery case became a federal Hobbs Act conspiracy, why his codefendants cooperated, and how refusing to cooperate led to an extreme sentence: 20 life sentences. Carlos also explains the legal loopholes, sentencing errors, and federal “three strikes” issue that ultimately helped him beat life and come home after serving 19 years, 2 months, and 4 days. This conversation covers street life in Minnesota, prison politics, federal sentencing, the trial penalty, legal appeals, studying law from prison, and the mindset it took to keep fighting when the system said he would never come home.

« Si on veut être parfait, il ne faut rien faire. »C'est le constat lucide de Franck Chaventré (Directeur Général Associé, G-ON Life) et Ronan Trottier (Directeur Associé, G-ON).Pourtant, face aux découvertes sur l'air intérieur, ne rien faire n'est plus une option. Car aujourd'hui, on traque le carbone, on soigne l'énergie… mais la qualité sanitaire des matériaux reste ignorée des réglementations. Les microplastiques et les émanations toxiques ne sont ni mesurés, ni certifiés. Du coup, les fabricants n'ont aucune obligation et nos intérieurs, aucune garantie.Ce problème est amplifié par un trou noir de la connaissance : les analyses complètes de l'air intérieur existent, mais seuls quelques laboratoires de pointe disposent des technologies capables de qualifier toutes les molécules en suspension. Leur coût interdit tout équipement massif.Alors que faire ? Attendre des normes qui viendront trop tard ?Des maîtres d'ouvrage et les foncières visionnaires veulent montrer patte blanche pour obtenir d'avanatge de financements pour prendre de l'avance sur la qualité sanitaire de leurs actifs. Et les banques ont depuis quelques temps commencées à intégrer la santé dans le coût des prêts.Désormais, un bien immobilier qui prouvera sa bonne qualité sanitaire verra sa valeur augmenter naturellement, tout simplement parce que nous passons 90 % de notre temps à l'intérieur et que la santé est devenue le produit le plus recherché.C'est la prochaine révolution du bâtiment.Dans cette conférence enregistrée durant la biennale Bâtir Vivant, Ronan et Franck partagent leur expérience terrain, leurs méthodes et une conviction : on ne peut plus fabriquer des patrimoines sans savoir ce qui l'habille et ce qu'on y respire.Très bonne écoute !Site G-on : https://www.g-on.frSite G-on Life : https://www.g-on.lifeHébergé par Audiomeans.

In this deeply personal podcast episode, I'm sharing about walking through the biggest life transition I've ever faced. I reflect on how I got here, the vulnerability of being cracked open, and the strange mix of grief, relief, fear, and hope that can all exist at once.I also explore what not to say to someone in a tender season, how we often project our own stories & expectations onto other people's lives, and why big transitions rarely fit neatly with cultural desires. This is my open & honest conversation about change, humanness, and learning to hold contradictory feelings with grace.Podcast Episode Highlights:My biggest life transition right nowA slow unravelingThe vulnerability & strugglesWhat not to say to someone dealing with a big life transitionHow we project our stories on other peopleContradictory feelingsThe cultural implications in societyBeing cracked open Final ThoughtsResources Mentioned in This Podcast Episode:Find your garden seeds and supplies at True Leaf Market and use the code: homestead15 for 15% off your order.OTHER HELPFUL RESOURCES FOR YOUR HOMESTEAD:Sign up for weekly musings from my homestead: https://jillwinger.substack.com/Get my free homesteading tutorials & recipes here: www.theprairiehomestead.comJill on Instagram: @jill.wingerJill on Facebook: http://facebook.com/theprairiehomesteadApply to be a guest on the Old-Fashioned on Purpose podcast: https://www.theprairiehomestead.com/podcast-guest-applicationDid you enjoy listening to this episode?

In this Movie Night episode, Travis, Jake, and Jack descend into the sweaty church-basement panic of 1970s Christian exploitation cinema with a double feature: If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do? (1971) and A Thief in the Night (1973). These were not slick Hollywood productions, but they reached millions through church screenings, youth groups, libraries, and religious distribution networks. If The Footmen Tire You used anti-communist nightmare imagery to warn Christians that godless radicals were coming for their children, their churches, and their wives. A Thief in the Night turned rapture theology into an indie horror movie, terrifying generations of evangelical children with the fear of waking up to find their loved ones vanished and the Antichrist running the United Nations. We talk about Ron Ormond's journey from swamp monsters and stripper movies to Christian gore, Estus Pirkle's apocalyptic anti-communist sermons, the birth of rapture horror, and the power of low-budget religious filmmaking. https://archive.org/details/if-footmen-tire-you-what-will-horses-do-1971-dir.-ron-ormond-final-reconstruction-hd-267159565 Subscribe for $5 a month to get all the premium episodes: www.patreon.com/qaa Check out our new podcast series network Cursed Media!

Drawing on his time in Moscow during the early 1990s, Michael McFaul describes the revolutionary transition from Gorbachev's reforms to the radicalism of the Yeltsin era. He highlights the unprecedented uncertainty of the Soviet collapse and the subsequent failure of the West to invest in Russia's democratic consolidation. McFaul notes that the 1992 U.S. election's focus on domestic issues distracted from providing critical political and economic assistance. Unlike the post-WWII era, the lack of a perceived external threat led to complacency about the "end of history." He stresses that supporting institutional demand for democracy is vital for long-term stability. (3/8)1900 BRUSSELS
