Podcasts about traps

“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” - 2 Timothy 1:7When it comes to investing, wisdom means keeping emotions in check. Fear, greed, overconfidence, and regret can all derail sound decisions. Dr. Art Rainer joins us today to share four ways emotions ruin smart investing—and how you can avoid those traps.Dr. Art Rainer is the founder of the Institute for Christian Financial Health and Christian Money Solutions. He is a regular contributor here at Faith & Finance and the author of Money in the Light of Eternity: What the Bible Says about Your Financial Purpose.Don't Let Emotions Derail Your InvestmentsWhen it comes to investing, emotions can be your worst enemy. Allowing emotions to guide your investment decisions will most likely lead you to buy high and sell low. That's the opposite of building a solid retirement fund.So how can investors avoid the emotional traps that derail wise investing? Here are four common ways emotions can ruin sound investment strategies.1. Focusing on the Present Instead of the FutureThe stock market fluctuates daily, sometimes even hourly. Many investors get caught in the drama of short-term swings. But we must remind ourselves that we're not investing for today, we're investing for the future.Keeping your eyes fixed on long-term goals helps put temporary volatility in perspective. The market may dip, but over time, patience and consistency are what build wealth.2. Letting Fear Take ControlFear often shows up during a market downturn. In 2008, as markets plummeted, many investors panicked and withdrew their money. Later, most admitted that the decision was a mistake.In fact, steady contributions during down markets actually allow for the purchase of more shares at lower prices—a benefit to long-term investors. This is a process called “dollar-cost averaging”.  Dollar-cost averaging is an investing strategy where you contribute a fixed amount of money at regular intervals, regardless of market conditions. Over time, this helps reduce the impact of market volatility by buying more shares when prices are low and fewer when prices are high.Fear may feel protective, but it usually leads to missed opportunities.3. Becoming Overconfident in a Rising MarketJust as fear hurts during downturns, overconfidence can be just as dangerous when markets rise. We saw this during the dot-com bubble in 2000 and again in 2020.As stock prices climb, inexperienced investors often rush in, assuming the market is “easy money.” They may chase riskier investments without understanding the dangers, setting themselves up for painful losses when the bubble bursts.4. Dwelling on RegretRegret over past decisions is natural, but it can tempt us to overcorrect. For example, selling too soon because of a bad memory from the last downturn—or holding too long trying to “make up” for past mistakes.Instead of being trapped by regret, let past experiences guide wiser choices without driving reactionary ones.The Bible tells us that saving is wise, but it also cautions against letting fear or greed rule our hearts. Wise investing requires patience, discipline, and trust in God's provision—not reactionary emotions.Get Help From a Certified Christian Financial CounselorFor those struggling with debt, budgeting, or saving for the future, Dr. Rainer recommends connecting with a Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC). These professionals are trained to help individuals and couples align their finances with biblical principles.You can search for a counselor in your area at ChristianFinancialHealth.com.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm trying to help someone who has three credit card debts that have gone to collections. What type of documentation should we request to confirm that the debt collector is legally entitled to collect the debt, especially since different agencies continue to contact us?I'm retired and have recently purchased a property with mold in the crawl space, which is impacting my health. Given my financial situation, would it be wise to borrow money to resolve the mold problem?My husband is about to turn 73, and we've placed all of our IRA funds into an annuity. How do we calculate the required minimum distribution once he reaches 73, and does that amount change each year?

Jon Herold and Burning Bright unpack the latest twists in the information war, starting with Trump's carefully chosen words at rallies and how they signal a larger strategy at play. They explore the Comey indictment fallout, Brennan's denials, and how the media frames narratives to trap the public into compliance. The hosts dig into Trump's executive actions on Antifa and domestic terrorism, connecting them to RICO statutes and the broader case against the Deep State. Discussion also turns to the Pentagon's unusual Quantico meeting of generals, what it might mean for continuity of government, and how it ties into the shutdown brinkmanship in Washington. With sharp analysis and first-principles thinking, Herold and Burning Bright show how the long game is being played out in real time, through legal maneuvers, narrative control, and subtle but powerful military signals.

With special guest Longinus, the boys drink and review a Pub Ale from Black Abbey Brewing, then discuss ten ways that our quick (Type 1) thinking can deceive us, and how to compensate. Why do we make choices that don't make sense? From overconfidence to loss aversion, our brains are wired with shortcuts that keep us alive but can also trip us up in everyday life. In this episode, we break down 10 powerful mental traps —the hidden biases shaping your money, relationships, work, and even your health:1. Anchoring Bias – Why the first number you see sets the stage.2. Loss Aversion – Why losing hurts twice as much as winning feels good.3. Availability Bias – Why vivid memories distort real risks.4. Confirmation Bias – Why we only see what we already believe.5. Planning Fallacy – Why "five minutes" always takes twenty.6. Hindsight Bias – Why we always “knew it all along.”7. Framing Effect – Why wording changes everything.8. Sunk Cost Fallacy – Why we can't let go, even when we should.9. Overconfidence Effect – Why we think we're better than average.10. Present Bias – Why future you keeps getting cheated.These aren't just abstract concepts — they affect how you invest, how you plan, how you argue, and how you procrastinate. Once you see them, you'll start noticing them everywhere.

When the Japanese spacecraft Hayabusa [Hi ya Boo sa] visited the near Earth asteroid Itokawa in 2005 it found this 2000 foot by 800 foot elliptical world to have a variety of surface features. Instead of being a solid object like some asteroids, Itokawa is a rubble pile of boulders and pebbles held together by it's tiny gravity. The total volume of pebbles seems to be comparable to the volume of large rocks and boulders which make up Itokawa , however, the depths of the pebbles or their concentration in the center remains unknown. Given this uncertainty, this asteroid appears to be made up of a million times more small particles than larger ones.

Today I have the real pleasure of speaking with Maytha Alhassen and Halah Ahmad, two prominent feminist activists, writers, and scholars deeply committed to exploring the connections between the Arabic language, storytelling, and political agency, from the historical past to the present. We talk about the continuity of storytelling forms and techniques that bridge generations and support and convey a durable set of values and beliefs that resist western appropriation and distortion. These phenomena have everything to do with continuing and advancing the struggle for Palestinian rights and the celebration of Palestinian life.Halah Ahmad is a Harvard and Cambridge-trained writer, researcher, and political strategist whose work has appeared in multiple outlets from The Hill to Vox and the New York Times. She writes for Al-Shabaka, The Palestinian Policy Network and provides research and communications services to Palestinian and economic rights organizations across the country. Much of her work focuses on narrative change through storytelling in organizing and media. At a recent Stanford event, Halah discussed the historic forms of Palestinian storytelling, the Hakawati tradition, and the ways it has evolved and continued to be relevant amid the ongoing genocide. As a practitioner in the world of policy and politics, she grapples with the limitations of present avenues for Palestinian storytelling.Maytha Alhassen is a journalist, poet, community organizer, and scholar whose work bridges media, justice advocacy, research, and artistic expression. She's a Co-Executive Producer on Hulu's award-winning Ramy, Executive Producer of the award-nominated PBS docu-series American Muslims: A History Revealed, a Pop Culture Collaborative Pluralist Visionaries Fellow, TED Resident, and Harvard Religion and Public Life Art and Pop Culture Fellow (2021–2024), lectures at Stanford University's Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity, and is currenlty a Research Fellow at the Center for Scholars and Storytellers at UCLA. As a journalist, she has hosted on Al Jazeera English, reported for CNN, Huffington Post, Mic, and The Baffler, and written for Boston Review and LA Review of Books. Her work explores how storytelling shapes cultural and political belonging, with a focus on Muslim representation and equity in popular culture. She co-edited Demanding Dignity: Young Voices from the Front Lines of the Arab Revolutions, authored Haqq and Hollywood: Illuminating 100 Years of Muslim Tropes and Traps and How to Transform Them, and has published widely in academic journals. She earned her Ph.D. in American Studies & Ethnicity from USC, an M.A. in Anthropology from Columbia, and a B.A. in Political Science and Arabic & Islamic Studies from UCLA.

The Pressure of Police Work: From Cameras to Traps, Stress on Officers is Mounting. Police work has always carried unique challenges, but today's officers face pressures that go far beyond the streets. From cell phone cameras and so-called First Amendment Auditors setting traps, to command staff micromanagement and public confrontations, the stress can be overwhelming, sometimes career-ending. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Retired Riverside, Illinois Police Chief Tom Weitzel is our guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most podcast platforms. “Policing has become like living in a fish tank,” said Tom Weitzel, retired Chief of the Riverside, Illinois Police Department. “You're under observation 24/7, from the public, from the media, even from your own bosses.”  Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . Weitzel, who served decades in law enforcement and now shares his experiences through the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast available for free on their website, in addition to Apple, Spotify, and many major podcast platforms. Also on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and more, said that while he had support from elected officials, not every chief or officer has that backing. Even with it, the stress remained constant. The Pressure of Police Work: From Cameras to Traps, Stress on Officers is Mounting. The Rise of First Amendment Auditors One modern source of stress is the growing number of First Amendment Auditors. These individuals record in public spaces, often focusing on police, to test how well constitutional rights are respected. While some see this as citizen journalism, others intentionally provoke officers, hoping to capture a misstep on video that can later be uploaded for views and income. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. “They set traps for police,” Weitzel explained. “If you react, you give them the content they're looking for. My advice to officers: remain calm. Don't take the bait.” These auditors often enter places like post offices, courthouses, or even police stations with cameras rolling. Their stated goal is to document potential constitutional violations. But for officers, the experience can feel less like accountability and more like harassment. The Pressure of Police Work: From Cameras to Traps. More Than Cameras Auditors aren't the only stressors. Officers face constant scrutiny from suspects, citizens, and even their own command staff. “You hear it all, ‘Do you know who I am?' or ‘I pay your salary,'” Weitzel said. “Add in the micromanaging from some bosses, shift work, the risk of violence, and the media's misrepresentation of facts, and it's no wonder so many officers struggle with stress.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. This stress doesn't stop at the badge. Weitzel shared how his own children, who also became police officers, faced the same pressures. “It's not just the officer who feels it, it's their families too.” The Privacy Dilemma Another issue is the erosion of privacy. Between body cameras, dash cams, and surveillance technology, many officers feel there's little space left for private conversations, performance reviews, or even mental health support. “Officers need safe spaces, whether it's during critical incident stress debriefings or when seeking help from employee assistance programs,” Weitzel said. “Without that, the stigma around mental health in policing just gets worse.”The Pressure of Police Work: From Cameras to Traps. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Balancing transparency for the public with privacy for officers remains one of law enforcement's biggest challenges. A Village with a History Weitzel's career was rooted in Riverside, Illinois, a historic suburban village of 9,298 residents just nine miles west of downtown Chicago. Known as the nation's first planned suburb and home to architectural landmarks, Riverside also has a storied history with figures like Claude “Screwy” Maddox and Frank Nitti, allies of Al Capone. But for Weitzel, Riverside was more than history, it was the community he served. And now, in retirement, he continues to serve by speaking openly about the realities of policing. His resonates across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and beyond. Continuing the Conversation “The stress is real, and it can be devastating,” Weitzel emphasized. “But we need to talk about it, not hide it.” The Pressure of Police Work: From Cameras to Traps, Stress on Officers is Mounting. Weitzel shares these conversations on his interview on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available for free on their website, also on Apple, Spotify, and most major podcast platforms. Updates can also be found on their Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and more. He dives deeper into the unseen pressures of law enforcement and what can be done to better support officers.

Gower is also the founder of JobWorks Career Ministry and co-author of Careering. He has personally lived through three periods of unemployment, each followed by a major rebound. Dana Gower has been guiding people through some of life's toughest moments—job loss and career transition—for years. His ministry is built around a provocative reminder, as he puts it: "How to waste valuable job search time and NOT get a job!" This is not a lesson he teaches, but instead a warning he has seen too many job seekers live out. Dana's focus is on showing people a better way, including practical strategies, rooted in both human wisdom and today's AI tools, to help you move forward with confidence. In this episode, Dana shares practical insights on navigating career transitions, tapping into the hidden job market, optimizing resumes and LinkedIn profiles with AI, and—most importantly—why human connections still matter more than ever. Whether you're between jobs or planning your next move, this conversation offers powerful, practical advice for thriving in the AI era of job searching.

It might be tempting to buy dividend stocks with the highest yields, but not all dividend payers are safe. Those big payouts could be signaling that a company's fundamentals are cracking. Looming financial risks could wreak havoc on income-focused investors' portfolios. But there are ways to spot dividend traps. Morningstar Indexes strategist and columnist Dan Lefkovitz explains how to avoid the risks.Both healthcare and consumer defensive sectors are lagging the broader stock market this year, but for different reasons.Dan Kemp, chief research and investment officer at Morningstar Investment Management Europe, explored what's behind it in this week's Markets Brief column.

In this episode, Jude tackles two listener questions from the mailbag, focusing on two of the most common retirement concerns: life insurance and investing. First up, what should you do if someone is pitching you a life insurance policy as an “investment”? Jude explains the pros, cons, and the middle ground between the extremes of “buy it all” and “avoid it completely.” Jude also lays out the key questions you need to ask before signing on the dotted line and why your financial goals, not someone else's agenda, should guide the decision. Then, Jude responds to a saver who has built up a sizable 401(k) balance but admits he doesn't know what to do next. Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:

Perfect for fans of Friday the 13th, The Hills Have Eyes, and classic creepypasta.Turn off the lights, put on your headphones, and remember: sometimes the most dangerous monster in the woods is just a man… with a red bicycle.The Old Man with the Red Bicycle — by Bruce Haney.

Dont' fall for these traps! This "convenient" payment option could be sabotaging your financial future and even your security clearance! Military financial expert Lacey Langford returns to sound the alarm on what she calls "the new payday loan," Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services. With over $170 billion in BNPL transactions this year and 91.5 million Americans using these services, this seemingly innocent payment option is creating a financial minefield for military families. Main Topics Covered: What Buy Now, Pay Later really is The psychology behind BNPL - how it removes the "pain" of spending and makes overspending dangerously easy Hidden dangers for military families: Multiple small debts that are impossible to track Late fees and additional charges that can turn a $5 purchase into a $35 expense Potential impact on security clearances as reporting to credit bureaus increases Marriage and relationship stress from hidden debt The trap of "death by a thousand cuts" - why small payments add up to big problems How BNPL differs from traditional credit - and why it's actually worse in many ways Recovery strategies for those already caught in the BNPL web Why layaway was better - and how its disappearance pushed consumers toward dangerous alternatives Resources & Links: Lacey Langford's website: Milmo.co Podcast: The Milmo Show (available on Apple, Spotify, and all podcast platforms) Conference: MilMoneyCon: milmoneycon.com UPDATE!

Située au sud-est du pays, la réserve naturelle de Chinko est en phase de restauration depuis 2014, après plusieurs décennies de crises sécuritaires qui l'ont presque décimée. Aujourd'hui, les écogardes, encore appelés rangers, sont en première ligne pour protéger la faune et la flore issues de cette aire de conservation d'une surface estimée de plus de 30 000 km2. Le travail de ces hommes et femmes, recrutés pour la plupart dans les villages périphériques, est très important dans la chaîne de préservation des écosystèmes, la régénération de la faune et le développement socio-économique des communautés locales.  De notre correspondant de retour de Kocho, 6h30, les écogardes sont déjà en colonne par deux dans leur zone de rassemblement pour définir le plan de la journée. Chacun porte un sac lourd, rempli de fournitures de premiers soins, de matériel de sauvetage, de nourriture et d'eau, une tente et des appareils de communication. Mathurin Davis Ndallot est responsable de la lutte anti-braconnage : « Notre quotidien ici, c'est la surveillance 24 heures sur 24, sept jours sur sept à travers nos équipes de terrain que nous utilisons. Au sein de la communauté, nous avons des hommes de confiance qui nous fournissent des informations en temps réel pour nous permettre de prendre de l'avance sur les braconniers et les éventualités. » À lire aussiCentrafrique : Chinko, la renaissance de la réserve naturelle [1/3] Chaque unité est ensuite dirigée vers les zones de contrôle par des véhicules tout terrain. L'endroit est isolé et logistiquement très difficile d'accès. Ce matin, une unité de lutte anti-braconnage (LAB) est en patrouille au cœur de l'aire de conservation. En tenue de camouflage, les écogardes marchent lentement au milieu d'une végétation très dense. Le chef d'équipe balaye le sol du regard, à la recherche des traces de braconniers : « En tant que rangers, nous faisons des patrouilles régulières pour protéger nos forêts, nos rivières et la faune. Nous faisons aussi le comptage des traces des animaux, la maintenance des salines et nous veillons également au respect du code de gestion des aires protégées de Chinko. » Bientôt, la saison des pluies va laisser la place à une période compliquée pour l'équipe de contrôle, selon Mathurin Davis Ndallot : « En début de saison sèche, les pasteurs du nord du Sud-Soudan descendent en Centrafrique. Leur arrivée crée beaucoup de stress dans nos activités. C'est pourquoi nous avons mis en place une équipe de sensibilisation des acteurs de transhumance appelée Tango, et Échos que nous utilisons pour aller sensibiliser les communautés et les éleveurs afin de leur montrer leur limite et l'importance de la conservation. » « Nous sommes là pour changer les mentalités » À l'approche de la rivière de Kocho, Mathurin Davis Ndallot ordonne à son équipe de se taire et d'avancer discrètement. Sous un soleil accablant, il vérifie avec ses jumelles militaires s'il n'y a pas de pêcheurs dans le coin : « On utilise également des caméras Traps, qui est un dispositif que nous plaçons dans la forêt et qui permet de faire des photographies de la faune et flore sans intervention humaine. Ces caméras sont placées à des endroits stratégiques et sur les salines afin de contrôler le mouvement des espèces que nous protégeons, pour faire également le contrôle général et l'infiltration des braconniers. » Au milieu des fauves, de mille et un dangers, les écogardes se déploient plusieurs jours, à pied, en pirogue motorisée et parfois en avion de surveillance, selon le chef d'équipe : « Le but de nos patrouilles n'est pas forcément de faire la guerre. Nous sommes là pour changer les mentalités et appeler à la préservation de cette réserve naturelle. » En cas de récidive ou de résistance, les braconniers et les exploitants illégaux de la forêt sont arrêtés et traduits en justice.

Dynasty Nerds dives deep into breakout stars shaking up your dynasty fantasy football leagues this season. Rich, Matt, and Garret break down Troy Franklin's monster Week 2 with the Broncos, debating if his targets and routes make him a weekly flex option or just hype under Sean Payton. Juwan Johnson's back-to-back 15-plus point games as the Saints' top tight end scream matchup-proof starter, especially with Spencer Rattler slinging it his way. Javonte Williams looks explosive again in Dallas, dominating touches and red zone work for that RB1 potential. Wan'Dale Robinson's air yards and volume in New York have us eyeing him as a sneaky PPR asset. Zay Flowers is exploding in Baltimore with massive target shares, pushing WR1 territory. We rate each on our trust scale from fake news to lineup lock, plus Isaiah Likely meter on Jordan Mason stepping up in Minnesota, Daniel Jones channeling Ryan Tannehill in Indy, Travis Etienne's workload in Jacksonville, Bryce Young's future in Carolina, and Kyle Pitts grinding for that top-six tight end finish in Atlanta.

Even if you're not on Medicare right now, chances are someone you love is—and sooner or later, you'll face those decisions yourself. That's why it's worth paying attention to an important letter that arrives every September: the Annual Notice of Change. Most people glance at it, toss it aside, and never think twice. But with big shifts coming in 2026, ignoring it could be a costly mistake. And that letter is just the beginning. There are three other Medicare traps that cost people thousands each year and, in some cases, wreck entire retirement plans. In this episode, I'll walk you through the 2026 changes you (and your loved ones!) need to prepare for, plus the three mistakes to avoid no matter what year it is. By the end, you'll know exactly what to watch for and how to feel confident about Medicare—whether you're enrolled now, preparing for it soon, or helping someone you care about. *** SCHEDULE A (FREE) RETIREMENT STRATEGY MEETING: My team and I have guided hundreds of families across the U.S. through retirement's biggest challenges over the last two decades.

Learn if digital wallets make you overspend and how simple habits can help you stay on budget. How do you start money conversations that actually help? Do mobile wallets make you overspend? Hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola discuss intentional money conversations and the psychology of paying by phone vs. card vs. cash to help you control spending and feel better about your money habits. Joined by Shari Rash, host of Everyone's Talkin' Money, they begin with a discussion of money talk made easier, with tips and tricks on opening with neutral topics like grocery prices, identifying your first money memory, and swapping shaming language for neutral phrasing. Then, personal finance nerd Kate Ashford joins Sean and Elizabeth to discuss whether paying by phone changes what you spend. They discuss why “payment coupling” can dull the pain of spending, guardrails to curb impulse buys (fun-money caps, 24-hour waits, no saved cards), and where cash, credit cards, mobile wallets, and envelope-style budgeting apps (like YNAB and Goodbudget) fit for security and self-control.
