By the DOJ's own actions, what was promised as a meaningful step toward transparency has instead turned into a masterclass in bad faith. Despite a clear legal mandate requiring the release of Epstein-related records by December 19th, the Department of Justice has released roughly 1% of what it was obligated to disclose. Not 1% of what was convenient. Not 1% of what they felt like parting with. One percent of the total universe of documents they have publicly acknowledged possessing. This is not a paperwork hiccup or a minor delay—it is an institutional refusal to comply with the spirit or the letter of the law. For decades, the DOJ has insisted that Epstein was thoroughly investigated, that the evidence was reviewed, that the case was handled—yet when transparency is finally required, the files suddenly become too numerous, too complex, and too sensitive to release on time. The contradiction is glaring: either these materials were already organized and understood, or the DOJ has been misleading the public for years about the depth and seriousness of its investigation.For survivors, this isn't just bureaucratic nonsense—it's a direct insult. Many of them waited decades to be believed, to see the system acknowledge what was done to them and who enabled it. Releasing a token sliver of records while slow-walking the rest sends a clear message: institutional self-protection still outweighs accountability. To the American public, it's an unmistakable middle finger—proof that even when Congress acts, even when the law is explicit, the DOJ believes it can stall, obfuscate, and wear people down through attrition. Transparency delayed is transparency denied, and in this case, the delay isn't accidental. It reinforces the same power imbalance that allowed Epstein to operate in plain sight for so long, signaling that when powerful interests are implicated, justice remains optional and accountability remains negotiable.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Justice Department has released only 1% of Epstein files, new filing says

After high school, he nearly joined the Air Force, worked at McDonald's, and enrolled at community college to explore paths—from business and HVAC to computer science. Hospital volunteering felt different. He became a phlebotomist, considered PA school, and then realized the reasons drawing him to PA actually pointed to becoming a physician—with a strong pull toward surgery.It wasn't linear. Early C's in science and a six-year undergraduate path (business transfer to UMBC biology with honors in philosophy) forced him to confront the “not a science person” label. With time, maturity, and motivation, he turned it around, took two gap years for research and service, leaned heavily on YouTube guidance, and sought mentors who helped shape his essays and application strategy.Ryland shares why he aimed for a one-and-done application, how virtual interviews during COVID made that possible, and what it felt like to see his first interview invite. He reflects on serving on Brown's admissions committee, what authentic stories communicate beyond metrics, and why getting personal matters. Plus, a candid discussion on AI's impact on interviews and training, the perverse incentives of rankings, and his message to premeds: your timeline is your own—and you can do this.What You'll Learn:- How to pivot after early C's and reframe the “not a science person” myth- Deciding PA vs MD by clarifying what truly draws you to patient care- Using community college, gap years, and mentoring to strengthen your application- What admissions values beyond MCAT and GPA—and why authenticity matters- How AI and rankings may shape interviews and the premed landscape

Mark Cuban approaches healthcare the same way he approaches every industry he enters: by assuming something essential is missing and then asking who benefits from keeping it that way. In American medicine, he believes that missing ingredient is transparency. Not better messaging, not smarter incentives, but simple visibility into how prices are set, who gets paid and who gets taken advantage of. Cuban is a lifelong healthcare outsider. He is a billionaire entrepreneur, NBA championship team owner and longtime Shark Tank investor. That's what makes him the perfect guest for Season 11 of Fixing Healthcare with cohosts Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr. This season's guests have massive online audiences, but their value isn't just reach. It's their ability to listen closely to what millions of patients are experiencing, then translate those insights back into the broader medical conversation. Few guests embody that better than Cuban. He has quickly become one of the system's most incisive critics by paying attention to what patients, employers and clinicians repeatedly say is broken. That mindset led to the creation of Cost Plus Drugs, a pharmacy built on an idea that sounds radical only because healthcare has drifted so far from it. Show patients the actual cost of a medication, add a flat 15% markup and eliminate the opaque middlemen who thrive in the dark. In this conversation, Cuban explains how a cold email from a physician opened his eyes to how hidden pharmaceutical pricing had become and why opacity itself became the opportunity. HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE INTERVIEW Why drug prices are detached from reality. Cuban breaks down how widely used medications, including GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars per month despite far lower manufacturing costs. The driver, he argues, is not innovation or scarcity, but a system dominated by pharmacy benefit managers whose rebate structures reward insurers and intermediaries while excluding patients. How patients bear the greatest financial harm. With concrete examples, Cuban explains how people in deductible phases, especially those on ACA plans, often pay full retail prices while rebates flow elsewhere. Costs are spread across millions of plan holders, but the financial pain lands on the people who actually need care. Why healthcare's complexity is intentional. From fax machines to prior authorization delays, Cuban argues that administrative friction is not accidental. It protects incumbents, drains clinician time and forces providers into the role of “subprime lenders,” all while patients struggle to navigate a system designed to obscure accountability. What he tells CEOs behind closed doors. Cuban outlines the first questions he asks corporate leaders about their pharmacy benefits, why most are not receiving the rebates they believe they are and how audits are often structured to reveal as little as possible. Transparency, he says, is the first step toward leverage. A blueprint beyond pharmaceuticals. The discussion extends into hospitals, insurance design and employer-based coverage, including Cuban's work on cost-plus wellness contracts that publish negotiated rates so others can replicate them. His goal is not dominance. It is forcing the system to respond by making its incentives visible. Throughout the episode, Cuban's message is blunt and consistent. Healthcare does not need more jargon, better marketing or marginal tweaks. It needs sunlight. Once pricing, incentives and risk are exposed, many of the system's most entrenched practices become much harder to justify. * * * Fixing Healthcare is a co-production of Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr. Subscribe to the show via Apple, Spotify, Stitcher or wherever you find podcasts.

Late last year, I moderated an event hosted by Pacific Sales Kitchen & Home with the goal of breaking down kitchen desires and needs of todays well informed and demanding design clients. You would think this is an easy conversation to have. I assembled an all star cast of design and architecture talent for an incredible conversation. One that you might want to save and re-listen every now and then. Late last year, I moderated an event hosted by Pacific Sales Kitchen & Home with the goal of breaking down kitchen desires and needs of todays well informed and demanding design clients. You would think this is an easy conversation to have. I assembled an all star cast of design and architecture talent for an incredible conversation. One that you might want to save and re-listen every now and then. At Pacific Sales Kitchen & Home in Torrance, leading architects, designers, and industry specialists gathered to examine how pandemic-era shifts, rising client expectations, and rapid product innovation are reshaping the future of kitchens and baths. Their insights reveal an industry moving beyond trend talk toward highly personalized, wellness-driven, and performance-first design. The kitchen is no longer just a workspace, and the primary bath is no longer just a retreat. Over the past five years, these rooms have become emotional anchors, wellness centers, hospitality zones, tech platforms, and reflections of how people believe they should live. At Pacific Sales Kitchen & Home in Torrance, a cross-section of the industry's leading voices came together to discuss how the profession is adapting—and what clients now expect designers to deliver. For Sayler Design Studio founder Beth Sayler (https://saylorstudio.com), the shift is rooted in emotion. After years of pandemic-related uncertainty, material shortages, and insurance-driven rebuilds, clients want spaces that feel personal, restorative, and meaningful. Her projects now lean into “experience design,” where primary suites might include refrigeration drawers, espresso stations, integrated audio, and hospitality-level details. Her biggest tool is expectation-setting—helping clients redefine what's realistic, what's essential, and what will ultimately make them feel at home again. Architect Luis Escalera of LMD Architecture Studio (https://www.lmdarchitecturestudio.com) experiences the evolution through the lens of constraints. Small lots, stricter codes, and the ongoing battle between mandated electrification and client cooking preferences require tight onboarding, detailed questionnaires, and careful translation of desires to built form. The modern kitchen triangle now includes the deck, yard, and pool—one interconnected lifestyle zone that must function as a unified system. For Jessica Nicastro Design (https://www.jessicanicastrodesign.com), the challenge is volatility. Pricing, tariffs, and supply chains remain inconsistent, making early builder involvement essential. Her firm works to recalibrate what clients think they want—often shaped by social media—into spaces appropriate to the home, lifestyle, and budget. Transparency and trust have become the designer's most valuable currency. At Laney LA (https://www.laney.la), designer Michelle Her sees a growing demand for wellness integration: whole-home RO systems, chromotherapy, therapeutic water pressure, and recovery spaces designed with the same rigor once reserved for kitchens. Their philosophy—“the best idea wins”—creates an environment where architecture, interiors, and engineering collaborate fluidly to support elevated living. Representing the host venue, Pacific Sales Kitchen & Home (https://www.pacificsales.com) showcased the power of specialized knowledge. Trade leaders Verzine Hovasapyan and Juan Pantoja describe a client landscape with no single standard—making customization and education critical. Manufacturer immersion programs ensure staff can guide clients through increasingly complex appliances and smarter home ecosystems, offering a level of service no online retailer can match. Designer Shanna Shryne of Shanna Shryne Design (https://www.shannashryne.com) emphasized lifestyle-first programming. Outdoor kitchens, in particular, require multi-disciplinary collaboration—interiors, landscape architecture, and systems integration—to achieve unified performance. Complexity, she argues, demands partnership rather than lone-wolf generalists. Finally, RHG Architecture + Design founder Rachel Grachowski (https://www.rhgdesign.com) and Hudson Home Interior Design principal Shelly Hudson (https://www.hudsonhomeinteriors.com) highlighted biophilia, natural light, and personalized ergonomics as the next frontiers. From adjustable counter heights to dedicated recovery rooms, the home is becoming a hybrid of spa, laboratory, and living space. Taken together, their perspectives reveal a profession not following trends but redefining standards—one kitchen, one bath, one wellness ecosystem at a time. Design After Disruption: How We Live Now—and Why Process Matters More Than Ever The pandemic didn't just change where we work—it redefined how we live, gather, and experience our homes. In this episode, designers and industry experts explore how COVID accelerated shifts in lifestyle, technology, and client expectations, forcing a fundamental rethink of residential design. From wellness and personalization to process and trust, this conversation reveals why great design today begins long before materials are selected. A wide-ranging conversation about how post-pandemic living reshaped residential design, why understanding behavior matters more than trends, and how slowing the process leads to better, more meaningful homes. Today, we examine the profound shift in how people relate to their homes—and how designers have had to evolve in response. What began as a temporary adjustment during the pandemic became a lasting transformation: homes turned into offices, classrooms, social hubs, and sanctuaries, often all at once. As a result, clients now arrive more informed, more opinionated, and more influenced by social media than ever before. But with that access comes confusion. The conversation explores how designers increasingly serve as educators and translators—helping clients filter inspiration, understand trade-offs, and make decisions rooted in how they actually live rather than how a space looks online. The discussion moves beyond aesthetics into behavior: how families gather, how kitchens function, how storage works, and how subtle design decisions impact daily life. From kitchen planning and furniture layout to the psychology of comfort and the importance of workflow, the episode highlights why the smallest details often matter most. A central theme emerges around process. Thoughtful design requires slowing down, asking better questions, and resisting the pressure for instant gratification. Whether it's understanding how a family entertains, how they cook, or how they want to feel in their home, the best outcomes come from listening first—and designing second. 1. Life After COVID: A Permanent Shift How the pandemic changed expectations around home design The rise of multifunctional spaces Why the home is now both personal and professional 2. Social Media's Influence on Design Culture The upside and downside of endless inspiration Why clients arrive more informed—but often overwhelmed Separating aspiration from practicality 3. Designing for Real Life Understanding how people actually use their homes Why square footage means nothing without function Designing for habits, not hypotheticals 4. The Role of the Designer Has Changed From decorator to strategist Educating clients through experience and data Acting as a guide through complex decisions 5. The Importance of the Kickoff Process Why the first conversations matter most Learning how clients live before proposing solutions Creating clarity through dialogue, not questionnaires 6. Kitchens as Behavioral Maps Storage, workflow, and daily rituals Why drawers often matter more than appliances Designing around how people actually cook and gather 7. Slowing the Process to Improve Outcomes Resisting the urge for instant answers Why design is both art and structured process Helping clients avoid regret through thoughtful planning 8. Trust, Education & Long-Term Value Helping clients understand what they don't yet know Using experience and precedent to guide decisions Designing homes that evolve with the people in them Great design isn't about trends, finishes, or fast decisions—it's about understanding people and tailoring functional design to their lifestyle. This episode reinforces a simple truth: when designers take the time to listen, observe, and educate, the result is not just a better-looking home, but one that truly supports the lives lived inside it.

Healthcare is one of the most complex—and misunderstood—industries in the world. Few people explain it better than Dr. Eric Bricker. In this episode, we sit down with the physician, entrepreneur, and Chief Medical Officer behind AHealthcareZ, whose viral whiteboard sessions have become must-watch content for healthcare leaders. Dr. Bricker traces his unconventional path from internal medicine to entrepreneur to healthcare economist and reveals how financial incentives, not just clinical decisions, shape outcomes across hospitals, insurers, employers, and emerging health tech. We unpack why healthcare feels so opaque to patients and employers alike, what's broken in insurance and billing, and why misaligned incentives continue to drive cost and complexity. Dr. Bricker also makes the case for transparency, stronger primary care, and smarter use of technology as levers for real change. This conversation is essential listening for executives, clinicians, benefits leaders, founders, and policymakers who want to move beyond surface-level reform and understand how healthcare actually works—and how it can work better.

Startup stress does not stop at the founder's desk and the hidden emotional ripple effects inside a company may be shaping employee mental health startup culture and long term viability more than any strategy deck ever could.   Sarah Lockwood is joined by Yael Benjamin founder of Startup Snapshot and Annika Sten Pärson founder of the Inner Foundation to unpack new research on the emotional reality inside early stage startups. Drawing on data from hundreds of employees alongside an investor perspective on mental health, the conversation challenges the assumption that stress lives mainly with founders. Anxiety burnout and sustained pressure show up across teams, often more intensely than leaders expect. What happens when employees feel startup stress without the context that helps them make sense of it?   A core insight centers on trust and transparency. The research shows that lack of clarity is one of the strongest drivers of distress inside startup culture, outweighing concerns about compensation or company survival. When founders underestimate how much their stress is felt or assume silence is protective, teams often fill the gaps with fear driven narratives. The episode reframes emotional health as a real business variable and argues that how founders communicate, regulate pressure and build trust already shapes retention performance and long term outcomes.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 The Inner World of Startup Founders 03:54 Research Insights on Employee Well-being 07:32 The Impact of Founder Stress on Teams 12:04 The Importance of Transparency in Startups 16:43 Building Support Systems for Founders and Teams 21:10 Preventative Strategies for Startup Success Connect with Yael Benjamin and Annika Sten Pärson: Connect with Yael on LinkedIn Visit Startup Snapshot The Inner Circle - Startup Snapshot Link to the Research   Connect with Annika on LinkedIn Visit the inner foundation   Connect with Sarah Lockwood: Connect with Sarah on LinkedIn Visit HiveCast   Connect with The Conscious Entrepreneur: Visit The Conscious Entrepreneur website  Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on LinkedIn Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on Instagram  Subscribe to The Conscious Entrepreneur on YouTube   HiveCast.fm is a proud sponsor of The Conscious Entrepreneur Podcast.

In this episode of the Used Car Dealer Podcast, Zach talks with Paulo da Silva, who leads the digital commerce business at Cox Automotive—including e-commerce, CRM, marketing automation, and deal structuring—to unpack how transparency, omnichannel retail, and AI are redefining the car-buying experience for both dealers and consumers. Paulo shares his journey from strategy and M&A into building direct-to-consumer businesses at Whirlpool and then stepping in to help Cox Automotive launch fully automated e-commerce capabilities. He breaks down the major inflection points he's seen over the past decade—from the first dealer websites and early digital retailing to COVID and now AI—and what they've meant for used-car operations, dealer profitability, and consumer expectations around transparency. The conversation dives into the most common digital-retail mistakes dealers still make, how to align online and in-store processes, and why a single, continuous funnel is critical to trust. Paulo also talks about bridging sales and F&I, the next frontier in omnichannel, how AI-driven tools will change the game for dealers and consumers alike, and the one digital retail practice every used-car dealer should adopt today. ⏱️ Key Questions & Timestamps 00:29 – Intro & Paulo's background leading digital commerce at Cox Automotive 01:00 – What drew you into this space, and how has your background prepared you for the digital-retail challenge? 03:34 – What have been the key inflection points you've seen in automotive retail over the past 5–10 years? 06:02 – What are the most common digital-retail mistakes you see dealers make when they jump into online transactions? 09:29 – How would you describe your mission in terms of shifting the used-car business for dealers? 14:46 – How are you seeing dealers adapt to full omnichannel retailing from a process, culture, and technology standpoint? 18:29 – For independent and franchise dealers looking to ramp up their used-car business, which elements of the digital solution should they prioritize? 21:43 – From your perspective, how are AI-driven tools changing the game for dealers of all sizes? 25:22 – What are the key internal change-management or operational shifts dealers need to make to fully benefit from digital and omnichannel? 27:12 – How do you see the used-car retail landscape evolving for dealers who embrace digital vs. those who don't? 31:29 – How do you see dealer-lender relationships, F&I processes, and aftermarket service evolving in an AI-driven, omnichannel world? 35:00 – What is one digital retail practice every used-car dealer should adopt today?

In November 2020, lawyers representing a Jeffrey Epstein victim filed a legal motion demanding that the U.S. Department of Justice release previously concealed information related to Epstein's secret 2007 non-prosecution agreement. The motion centered around a troubling gap in documentation—specifically, missing emails from then-U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta's office during the period when the controversial plea deal was negotiated. Victims' attorneys argued that these missing records could reveal undisclosed communications, potential misconduct, or improper coordination between Epstein's defense team and federal prosecutors.The legal team emphasized that the absence of this material undermined public trust and cast doubt on the government's narrative surrounding Epstein's prosecution. “I think it calls into doubt everything that we've been told about the case,” said one of the attorneys, urging the DOJ to come clean about the full extent of its dealings with Epstein. The motion underscored the growing belief among survivors and their advocates that the original agreement—which allowed Epstein to avoid federal charges and protected unnamed co-conspirators—was not just flawed, but potentially the product of behind-the-scenes corruption or manipulation that still has not been fully disclosed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Lawyers for Epstein victim seek 'previously concealed information' from Justice Department - ABC News

Black Dragon Biker TV Podcast Episode: Prospects, Bylaws, & Social Media RecruitingWelcome back to Black Dragon Biker TV! Today we're diving into three hot-button questions that stir up strong opinions in the MC world. No fluff—just real talk from 38+ years on the set.1. Are Prospects Members or Not?Short answer: Prospects are members—of a kind. They're not full patches with voting rights or equal say—that's earned. But calling them "not members at all" is wrong and dangerous.Prospects wear the club's colors (bottom rocker, prospect patch).They represent the club 24/7—on rides, at events, in public.They take risks for the club (backing brothers, handling tasks).If something goes down, they're expected to stand tall like any patch.Treating prospects like outsiders ("you're nothing") breeds resentment and turnover. Good prospects are investments—treat them as probationary members with limited privileges but real belonging. They earn the full patch by proving loyalty, not by being treated like dirt.Bottom line: Prospects are part of the club family, just not the inner circle yet. Respect that, and you'll patch better brothers.2. Should Prospects Be Allowed to See the Bylaws?Hell yes—they absolutely should.Hiding bylaws from prospects is crazy. How can someone commit to a club without knowing the rules they're signing up to live (or die) by?Common arguments against:"Bylaws are sacred—only for full patches.""Prospects might leak them.""They haven't earned it."All weak.Trust is built early—if you can't trust a prospect with bylaws, why trust him with your back on a run?Informed prospects make better decisions—if bylaws are too harsh, they'll self-select out early (saves drama).Transparency shows confidence in your club's structure.My take: Give prospects the bylaws day one. Let them read, ask questions, understand quorum, discipline, patching requirements. It weeds out the wrong fits and builds buy-in from the start.Clubs hiding bylaws often have something to hide—or fear scrutiny. Strong clubs stand by their rules.3. Should MCs Advertise on Social Media to Gain New Members? Is It Against Protocol—and Should Protocol Change?Traditional protocol says no advertising—clubs grow organically: word of mouth, hangarounds proving themselves, reputation drawing the right men.Social media recruiting (posts like "Join our brotherhood—DM us") breaks that. Reasons:Looks desperate—strong clubs don't beg.Attracts wrong types: wannabes, cops, drama queens.Exposes club to scrutiny (LE monitoring pages).Dilutes vetting—hard to screen online strangers.But times change. Younger riders find clubs online. Some new/support clubs openly recruit on Instagram/Facebook with success.Is it against protocol? In traditional/1%er circles—yes, big time. In riding/support clubs—more accepted.Should protocol change? For outlaw/traditional clubs—no. Organic growth preserves quality and security.For newer/riding clubs—maybe. But even then, never direct "join us" posts. Better: Show club life (rides, charity, brotherhood) and let interested men approach privately.Smart compromise: Maintain public pages for events/pride, but recruiting stays old-school—face-to-face, proven worth.Final word: Protocol evolves, but core values (loyalty, respect, organic brotherhood) shouldn't. Advertise rides and charity—never membership.That's today's discussion—prospects as probationary members, show them the bylaws early, and keep recruiting personal, not public.What do you think? Prospects members? Bylaws for prospects? Social media recruiting—yes or no?Drop comments, call in next show. This is Black Dragon Biker TV—ride safe, stay loyal.

Ethics for State Park Leaders Guest: Brent Leisure, Director of Texas State Parks (ret)  Ethics in state parks is rarely about clear-cut right and wrong. More often, leaders find themselves navigating gray areas—where policies, public expectations, resource protection, staff morale, and political realities collide. In this episode of Tailgate Talks, Donald sits down with Brent Leisure for a thoughtful, practical conversation about ethical leadership in state parks. Together, they explore how ethics shows up in everyday decisions—far beyond policy manuals and audit reports—and why culture, consistency, and courage matter more than titles. This episode speaks directly to park professionals who are balancing limited resources, public trust, internal pressures, and stewardship responsibilities. Whether you're a new supervisor or a seasoned leader, this conversation offers tools to help you lead with integrity when the path forward isn't obvious. In This Episode, We Discuss: The difference between ethics and morals in leadership Why most ethical challenges live in the gray area, not black and white How small compromises can quietly shape organizational culture The role of consistency and fairness in building trust with staff Why "this is how we've always done it" can be a warning sign Navigating ethical decisions under pressure from politics, public opinion, and limited resources How leaders can model ethical behavior—even when it's uncomfortable Practical ways to prepare yourself and your team for ethical decision-making before problems arise Key Takeaways: Ethical leadership is less about rules and more about daily choices Culture is shaped by what leaders tolerate, not just what they say Transparency and accountability protect both the organization and the leader When leaders do the right thing early, they avoid much harder decisions later Who This Episode Is For: Park Rangers and frontline staff Supervisors, managers, and administrators Emerging leaders preparing for greater responsibility Anyone serving in public lands, conservation, or recreation

Emily Kircher-Morris chats today with Diane Dempster and Elaine Taylor-Klaus from Impact Parents, hosts of the Parenting with Impact podcast. They talk about the challenge of motivating neurodivergent kids, and break down why it's so challenging. The chat includes a framework called PINCH, a way to remember and think about important elements of motivation. You'll come away with practical strategies for parents to foster a supportive environment that encourages engagement, and ways to move away from fear and stress as motivators. TAKEAWAYS Traditional parenting advice often doesn't apply to neurodivergent kids. Motivation can be misunderstood; it's not always lack of interest. Executive functioning skills play a crucial role in motivation. Dopamine is essential for engaging in non-preferred tasks. Waiting until the last minute can be a legitimate strategy for motivation. Fear-based parenting creates stress and is not sustainable. Intrinsic motivation develops later in life, especially for neurodivergent individuals. The PINCH framework helps identify different motivators for kids. Novelty keeps the brain engaged and interested. Competition can motivate but may also cause anxiety in some children. Collaboration and connection with peers can enhance motivation. Parents should experiment with different motivational strategies. Transparency and vulnerability in parenting can build trust. If you'd like members of your organization, school district, or company to know more about the subjects discussed on our podcast, Emily Kircher-Morris provides keynote addresses, workshops, and training sessions worldwide, in-person or virtually. You can choose from a list of established presentations, or work with Emily to develop a custom talk to fit your unique situation. To learn more, visit our website. Elaine Taylor-Klaus and Diane Dempster co-founded ImpactParents.com in 2011 because traditional parenting advice wasn't working for their complex kids and they found no training or coaching available designed specifically to support them as parents of complex kids. Internationally recognized as leading parent educators, they use a coach-approach to help parents reduce the stress of raising children, teens, and young adults with ADHD, Anxiety, Autism, LD and more. They're the creators of Sanity School® behavior training, and the authors of many books including Parenting ADHD Now: Easy Intervention Strategies to Empower Kids with ADHD and The Essential Guide to Raising Complex Kids with ADHD, Anxiety and More.

Police in a Riot: An Officer Speaks. Special Episode. Riots are something most people only see through the lens of a television screen or a viral clip on social media. Flames in the background. Police lines in riot gear. Shouting crowds. What rarely makes it into the headlines is what it feels like to stand in the middle of that chaos, especially when you're a young police officer with only weeks of experience on the street. This special episode is streaming for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and most every major Podcast platform In this special episode, former Charlotte, North Carolina police officer Bill Broadway takes listeners inside the harsh realities of policing during violent riots. His account is raw, detailed, and deeply unsettling, not because it's political, but because it's personal. Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Thrown Into the Fire Bill Broadway was just weeks out of field training when he was suddenly called into action to help control violent riots in Charlotte. Like many young officers, he expected to learn policing step by step, traffic stops, calls for service, building rapport with the community. Instead, he found himself facing crowds that were no longer protesting, but actively engaging in violence. Police in a Riot: An Officer Speaks. Special Episode. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . “These weren't peaceful demonstrations,” Bill explains. “This was chaos.” From the moment he arrived, it was clear this was something different. Police vehicles were targeted and removed. Officers were surrounded. Projectiles were thrown. Every decision carried the risk of serious injury, or worse. Police in a Riot: An Officer Speaks. Special Episode. Protest vs. Riot: A Critical Distinction Much of the public conversation blurs the line between protest and riot, but legally and practically, the difference matters. Generally speaking, a protest is an organized public demonstration of disapproval, often protected under the First Amendment. A riot, by contrast, is defined as a violent disturbance of the peace involving multiple people acting together in a way that threatens public safety. Police in a Riot: An Officer Speaks. Special Episode. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. Federal law, under the Anti-Riot Act of 1968, defines a riot as a public disturbance involving acts of violence by an assemblage of three or more people that create a clear and present danger to people or property. Many states, including North Carolina, enforce similar statutes through laws addressing arson, looting, assault, unlawful assembly, and destruction of property. As Bill describes it, the moment objects started flying and officers became targets, the situation crossed that line. “When violence starts, it's no longer a protest,” he says. “It's something else entirely.” Injuries, Fear, and Constant Threats Bill walks listeners through every phase of the riot, from his initial arrival, to the loss of police vehicles, to the injuries sustained by officers on the line. What stands out most is the constant psychological pressure. Police in a Riot: An Officer Speaks. Special Episode. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “You don't just worry about what's in front of you,” Bill explains. “You're watching rooftops, alleys, shadows. You're wondering if the next hit is coming from behind.” The stress didn't end when the shift was over. Officers went home bruised, exhausted, and emotionally drained, knowing they could be called back at any moment. For many, sleep was elusive. The adrenaline lingered. The fear stayed close. Optics vs. Officer Safety One of the most controversial topics addressed is the allegation that department leadership and city officials were more concerned with optics and public opinion than with the truth, or the safety of their officers. This is not a new accusation in American policing, and it remains a deeply divisive issue. Critics argue that police departments often prioritize public relations to manage perception, reduce backlash, and limit legal exposure. The use of Public Information Officers and carefully worded statements can sometimes feel, to officers on the ground, like a disconnect from reality. Police in a Riot: An Officer Speaks. Special Episode. The special episode can be found on The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and across most podcast platforms where listeners will find authentic law enforcement stories. On the other hand, law enforcement leaders emphasize the importance of public trust. Studies consistently show that effective policing depends on community cooperation. Transparency, communication, and accountability are essential, but difficult to balance during fast-moving, volatile events. “The people making decisions weren't the ones standing there,” Bill says. “That's what made it hard.” A Divided Public Public opinion on policing during riots is sharply divided, often along political, racial, and ideological lines. Some see restraint as weakness. Others see enforcement as oppression. Officers in the middle are left navigating not just physical danger, but a cultural battlefield. Bill doesn't claim to have all the answers. What he offers instead is perspective, what it's like to be young, inexperienced, and suddenly responsible for holding a line while the world watches. You Decide Today, Bill Broadway works for a different agency, carrying with him the lessons and scars of those nights in Charlotte. His story raises difficult questions about leadership, accountability, public safety, and the human cost of civil unrest. Police in a Riot: An Officer Speaks. Special Episode. The full podcast episode is streaming now on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Were the riots handled correctly by department leadership and city officials? Was the balance between optics and officer safety struck appropriately? Bill shares his experience from the front lines.

In an era dominated by AI-powered security tools and cloud-native architectures, are traditional Web Application Firewalls still relevant? Join us as we speak with Felipe Zipitria, co-leader of the OWASP Core Rule Set (CRS) project. Felipe has been at the forefront of open-source security, leading the development of one of the world's most widely deployed WAF rule sets, trusted by organizations globally to protect their web applications. Felipe explains why WAFs remain a critical layer in modern defense-in-depth strategies. We'll explore what makes OWASP CRS the go-to choice for security teams, dive into the project's current innovations, and discuss how traditional rule-based security is evolving to work alongside — not against — AI. Segment Resources: github.com/coreruleset/coreruleset coreruleset.org The future of CycloneDX is defined by modularity, API-first design, and deeper contextual insight, enabling transparency that is not just comprehensive, but actionable. At its heart is the Transparency Exchange API, which delivers a normalized, format-agnostic model for sharing SBOMs, attestations, risks, and more across the software supply chain. As genAI transforms every sector of modern business, the security community faces a question: how do we protect systems we can't fully see or understand? In this fireside chat, Aruneesh Salhotra, Project Lead for OWASP AIBOM and Co-Lead of OWASP AI Exchange, discusses two groundbreaking initiatives that are reshaping how organizations approach AI security and supply chain transparency. OWASP AI Exchange has emerged as the go-to single resource for AI security and privacy, providing over 200 pages of practical advice on protecting AI and data-centric systems from threats. Through its official liaison partnership with CEN/CENELEC, the project has contributed 70 pages to ISO/IEC 27090 and 40 pages to the EU AI Act security standard OWASP, achieving OWASP Flagship project status in March 2025. Meanwhile, the OWASP AIBOM Project is establishing a comprehensive framework to provide transparency into how AI models are built, trained, and deployed, extending OWASP's mission of making security visible to the rapidly evolving AI ecosystem. This conversation explores how these complementary initiatives are addressing real-world challenges—from prompt injection and data poisoning to model provenance and supply chain risks—while actively shaping international standards and regulatory frameworks.

Donald Trump returned to power promising “maximum transparency.” But when it came time to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, that promise collapsed into redactions, missing documents, and outright misinformation. In this video, we break down how Trump's Justice Department botched—and arguably sabotaged—the Epstein disclosures, why Attorney General Pam Bondi's claims rang hollow, and why the loudest backlash came not from Democrats, but from Trump's own conspiracy-driven base. We examine the partial release, the missed legal deadline, the removal (and quiet restoration) of photos involving Trump, and the administration's shifting excuses about “protecting victims”—even as survivors themselves condemned the DOJ for causing harm. Independent media has never been more important.
