If you've ever signed a contract and immediately felt that "uh-oh" feeling… this episode is for you. We're talking about garbage contracts, hidden clauses, and the fine print that can quietly destroy your profit, your schedule, and your sanity. Just because a client is big doesn't mean the deal is good, and in lawn care, landscaping, and snow removal, the wrong agreement can turn into unpaid work, chargebacks, endless scope creep, and zero leverage when things go sideways.

Pascal Wagner interviews Adam Gower, founder of GowerCrowd, to unpack what's really happening behind the scenes when sponsors raise capital in today's market. Adam explains why the current shift toward smaller checks and retail capital isn't necessarily distress, but a strategic move by experienced sponsors preparing for cyclical downturns. He breaks down how LPs can spot sponsor strength versus weakness, why IRR-driven underwriting often leads to failure, and how conservative debt, disciplined operations, and in-house property management separate survivors from casualties. The conversation also explores where Adam sees asymmetric opportunities emerging in 2025–2026, particularly in discounted assets with operational inefficiencies rather than reliance on market rebounds.

What if burnout isn't caused by doing too much, but by constantly leaking your energy in ways you don't even notice? In this episode of School of Impact, Jason sits down with energy expert and entrepreneur Spencer Jones to unpack the concept of energy sovereignty, it's about learning how to protect, restore, and intentionally direct your energy so you can thrive without burning out. This conversation blends mindset, nervous-system regulation, play, and personal responsibility into a powerful framework for living and leading at your highest level.   "Have fun. There's more fulfillment for me. The impact is greater when you are having fun. When you're doing that, people resonate with it more. It doesn't feel forced, uneasy, it's just it's natural, and something happens."- Spencer Jones   Hear more about: Burnout is often about being drained, not overworked: Many people feel exhausted because their energy is leaking through misalignment, toxic beliefs, or unhealthy environments and not because they're doing too much. Internal belief systems are the biggest energy vampires: Self-judgment, the need to prove worth, and guilt around rest drain more energy than external people or circumstances. Energy sovereignty starts with repairing leaks before adding more habits: Meditation, exercise, or motivation won't stick if underlying energy leaks aren't addressed first.  Alignment determines whether energy fuels or depletes you: Even "good" opportunities can be draining if they're not aligned with your values, nervous system, and authentic self.  Small shifts create sustainable energy gains: Tools like breathwork and quick "energy audits" help raise your energy incrementally without overwhelm.  Play, fun, and authenticity are performance multipliers: When people operate in flow, doing what feels natural and joyful, impact, creativity, and fulfillment increase dramatically.   Connect with Jason Meland: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland

What if the reason you feel stuck right now has nothing to do with discipline or motivation? In this episode, I'm breaking down the three quiet traps that keep so many working moms stuck in survival mode as we head into 2026. These patterns sound responsible and reasonable on the surface, but they're the very things that keep you postponing joy, shrinking your desires, and telling yourself “later” will be better. We're talking about why responsibility can become a cage, why waiting for the right season keeps you frozen, and why “it's fine” is often the most dangerous place to stay. This episode is an invitation to stop settling and start choosing an unapologetic life—intentionally, not recklessly. In this episode, we unpack:The responsibility trap and why it quietly keeps working moms stuck Why “later will be better” is one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves How settling because life is “fine” drains your energy over time The difference between intentional waiting and disempowered delay What it actually means to live unapologetically in this season of life Work with me:Ambitious & Balanced: www.rebeccaolsoncoaching.com/ambitiousandbalanced Book a work-life balance strategy call: www.rebeccaolsoncoaching.com/ambitiousandbalanced-call

Homily from the The Baptism of the Lord The traps of believing we are God's advisors...or His performers. Baptism changes us. It begins an entirely new life in each one of us. And yet, when we approach the Lord, we can be tempted to act, not as God's adopted children, but as His counselors or his performers.

Trump and Trump v. V.O.S. Selections, Inc.) on November 5, 2025, where they appeared skeptical of the administration’s position that IEEPA grants the president authority to impose such sweeping tariffs during declared national emergencies.  Lower courts had previously ruled against the tariffs’ legality, but they remain in effect pending the Supreme Court’s decision.    These options are drawn from existing trade laws and have been used by past administrations. Here’s a breakdown of the key alternatives: Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962: This allows the president to impose tariffs on imports deemed a threat to national security after an investigation by the Department of Commerce. There’s no cap on duty levels or duration, making it flexible for broad application, such as on steel or autos.  Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974: Through the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), this permits tariffs in response to unfair or discriminatory foreign trade practices that violate international agreements or harm U.S. commerce. No rate limit exists, but it requires an investigation and findings, which could target specific countries like China.  Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974: This enables temporary import surcharges of up to 15% (or quotas) for up to 150 days to address “large and serious” balance-of-payments deficits. It’s seen as a quick interim option while longer-term measures are pursued, but extensions need congressional approval.  Section 201 of the Trade Act of 1974: Known as “safeguard” measures, this authorizes tariffs if surging imports are causing or threatening serious injury to domestic industries. It requires a U.S. International Trade Commission investigation and recommendation, with tariffs potentially lasting up to four years (extendable to eight).  Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930: This allows duties up to 50% on imports from countries engaging in “unfair” practices that discriminate against U.S. exports. It’s less commonly used and could face immediate lawsuits due to its broad interpretation potential. The administration has signaled readiness to shift to these tools, potentially starting with Section 122 for rapid implementation. U.S. Trade Deficit Drops 40% in Latest Commerce Dept Report  As you review this latest data on trade, remember any drop in trade deficits has two big picture functions: First, lower trade deficits generally mean the accompanying GDP release will be stronger than anticipated because imported products are a deduction from the valuation of all goods and services created in the U.S. economy.  Lower imports mean less is deducted. Secondly, and perhaps most importantly, a drop in the trade deficit created by diminished imports means more wealth remains inside the USA. We are not spending, sending money overseas, to import foreign goods at the same rate, and that money stays inside the U.S. economy. More wealth inside the U.S. provides the fuel for expanded domestic growth, more investment gains in USA manufacturing and USA industry and the ability to pay higher USA wages. The Commerce Department is reporting today that the U.S. trade deficit for October 2025 dropped to the smallest amount in 16-years.  A significant amount of the deficit drop was because a high value of physical precious metals (gold/silver) was exported, simultaneous with big offshore pharmaceutical companies dropping the prices of imported products (policy and tariff pressure).   Some may question whether internal consumer demand has declined, causing the significant drop in imports.  However, the U.S productivity rate is still very high – which generally means domestic consumer demand is still high and all units produced have a lower overall cost per unit. Economic analysis can get weedy…. so, a simple way to look at productivity is to think about baking bread in your kitchen. If you were going to bake 4 loaves of bread it might take you 2 hrs. start to finish. However, if you were going to bake 8 loaves of bread it would not take you twice as long because most of the tasks can be accomplished with simple increases in batch size, and only minor increases in labor time. Your productivity measured in the last four loaves is higher. Economic Productivity is measured much the same way, within what's called a production probability equation. Additionally, if two hours of your time are worth $40, each of four loaves of bread costs $10 in labor; but if you make 8 loaves in the same amount of time the labor cost is only $5/per loaf.   When we see higher productivity in direct alignment with GDP increases, the increased production indicates sustainable GDP growth.

Yes, for S.J. Res. 98 (the Venezuela war powers resolution referenced in the post) to become law and enforce limits on further U.S. military actions, it must pass the House of Representatives after its recent advancement in the Senate. If the House approves it, the bill would then go to President Trump, who has indicated he would likely veto it based on similar past actions.  If vetoed, Congress would need a two-thirds majority in both chambers to override.    Article II of the Constitution, as all Presidents, and their Departments of Justice, have determined before me. Nevertheless, a more important Senate Vote will be taking place next week on this very subject. https://twitter.com/DOGEai_tx/status/2009076665054277855?s=20  101’s 11-point democratization criteria – including releasing political prisoners and restoring National Assembly powers. The 2025 bill mandates strict oversight of any aid through Section 204’s safeguards against regime capture. Taxpayers deserve transparency: Will this embassy facilitate accountability for $150B in stolen oil revenues, or just greenlight more foreign aid slush funds? Strategic engagement only works if tied to verifiable reforms, not symbolic gestures. https://twitter.com/estrellainfant/status/2008948263916015793?s=20 Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth continue to expose Delcy Rodríguez and, at the same time, prevent the internal fissures of the regime from spiraling into an uncontrolled collapse. That is no coincidence: it is strategy. Rubio is not acting to provoke an immediate implosion, but to manage the decomposition of power. By exposing contradictions, routes, false narratives, and opaque movements, he weakens Delcy in front of the Chavista leadership, but without pushing the system toward a violent break that generates a power vacuum, chaos, or an unpredictable military reaction. This achieves several objectives at once: First, it isolates Delcy. Every time she is exposed, her room to maneuver shrinks in front of her “external allies” and the regime’s hardline elements. She shifts from being an operator to becoming a risk. Second, it deepens internal distrust. When sensitive information starts to align with U.S. actions, within the regime no one knows who is leaking what. That paranoia is corrosive and weakens more than a direct strike. Third, it preserves the minimum governability necessary for a transition. An abrupt collapse favors criminal actors, armed dissidents, and foreign powers. Controlling the pace of the erosion allows maintaining channels, containing damage, and preparing the ground for a subsequent political process. In that context, Delcy is trapped. If she cooperates, she exposes herself. If she doesn’t cooperate, she becomes isolated. Any move weakens her. And Rubio, aware of that, pressures her without touching the final detonator. That’s why this deserves attention: we are not seeing improvisation or personal revenge, but a calibrated operation of attrition, where the goal is not to humiliate for spectacle, but to dismantle the regime piece by piece, avoiding Venezuela paying the cost of an uncontrolled collapse. https://twitter.com/amuse/status/2008967791966376081?s=20 https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/2009090766354960453?s=20 War/Peace Security Alert – U.

Rioters earlier surged to a federal building and smashed up the entrance. The shooting incident occurred in the context of the far-left and Antifa urging violence against ICE for months. It has led to an Antifa cell carrying out an ambush shooting in Texas on the Prairieland facility. At least seven have pleaded guilty to a federal terrorism charge. Then, in Dallas, an ICE facility was shot up by an anti-ICE activist, killing people. https://twitter.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/2009040818896830650?s=20 BREAKING: The wife of Renee Nicole Good—the 37-year-old Minneapolis shooting victim who attempted to run over an ICE officer—appears to have been outside the vehicle filming as her wife blocked ICE vehicles. She is seen wearing a flannel shirt, walking around the vehicle and recording ICE officers. She later runs back to the vehicle to check on Renee. Afterward, she tells a nearby man, “That's my wife.” When he asks if she knows any of her wife's relatives she could call, she responds, “We’re new here. I don’t have people… I can't even breathe right now.” Why was she outside the vehicle filming while her wife was blocking ICE officers?

I tried to shorten this video as much as possible but it's tough given all the BS that unfolded. As soon as I dialed 911, one of the leftist screamed “Minneapolis Police are on OUR side!” Turns out, he was right. – A vehicle began chasing us the wrong way down a one way and then threatened to kiII me (dispatch heard this and responded by asking for my last name?) – First dispatcher promised they'd respond, asked me if I was “White,” held me on the phone for the 10 mins, and then ended the call – Second one called back and gave me the runaround as the situation worsens – Third one calls me back and tells me to go fck myself, essentially We ended up being FOLLOWED out of town, and requested backup set to arrive in a few hours. We are NOT giving up. Leftists WILL NOT terrorize us into silence. See you in a few hours, Minneapolis. Stay tuned. Will Trump invoke the Insurrection Act?

American colonial forces, low on ammunition and facing British regulars advancing uphill, were reportedly instructed to hold their fire until the enemy was close enough for shots to be effective—maximizing the impact of limited powder and musket balls, which were inaccurate at longer ranges.

Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum directing the withdrawal of the United States from 66 international organizations that no longer serve American interests. The Memorandum orders all Executive Departments and Agencies to cease participating in and funding 35 non-United Nations (UN) organizations and 31 UN entities that operate contrary to U.S. national interests, security, economic prosperity, or sovereignty. This follows a review ordered earlier this year of all international intergovernmental organizations, conventions, and treaties that the United States is a member of or party to, or that the United States funds or supports. These withdrawals will end American taxpayer funding and involvement in entities that advance globalist agendas over U.S. priorities, or that address important issues inefficiently or ineffectively such that U.S. taxpayer dollars are best allocated in other ways to support the relevant missions. RESTORING AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY: President Trump is ending U.S. participation in international organizations that undermine America's independence and waste taxpayer dollars on ineffective or hostile agendas. Many of these bodies promote radical climate policies, global governance, and ideological programs that conflict with U.S. sovereignty and economic strength. American taxpayers have spent billions on these organizations with little return, while they often criticize U.S. policies, advance agendas contrary to our values, or waste taxpayer dollars by purporting to address important issues but not achieving any real results. By exiting these entities, President Trump is saving taxpayer money and refocusing resources on America First priorities.  This is factually a much bigger deal, a bigger win, than most will initially appreciate. Each of the institutions carry “membership fees” or financial obligations each participating government pays into. Each organization consists of board members, stakeholders and other administrative offices which employ the friends and families of current and former politicians, world “leaders” and essentially well-connected and disconnected elites who run the agencies. It's like a massive network of NGOs, except the entities exist exclusively with government funding. Just like the United Nations itself, the USA always pays the dues, fees and largest portion of the operating expenses, which includes payrolls and travel benefits. Other countries participate, but it is the USA who picks up the largest portion of the financial obligations for the organization itself to exist. Like USAID, the designated “global” organizations (conventions, treaties, etc) operate as massive bureaucratic rule makers for global standards and practices. The organizations themselves employ a network of downstream entities, agencies, contractors, think-tanks, academic liaisons and internal government offices who collaborate with the goals and objectives of the parent organization.   Withdrawing the support of the U.S. means cutting that entire apparatus off from receiving funding from the USA. Europe and the USA are the largest funders of each of these World Economic Forum aligned agencies. It is not coincidental that President Trump and Secretary Rubio are making this move in advance of President Trump traveling to Davos, where the network associations congregate. President Trump is expected to deliver a bucket of ice water upon the heads of those who attend Davos annually.

Counterpoint is the “huge topic” that crowns the Neapolitan method and the Paris Conservatoire tradition—and yet it's often taught today in ways that leave students confused, discouraged, and musically disconnected. In this Counterpoint Panel, I'm joined by: • Robert O. Gjerdingen (Author of "Music in the Galant Style", "Child Composers") • Peter van Tour (Author of "Counterpoint and Partimento") • Job IJzerman (Author of "Harmony, Counterpoint, Partimento") We talk about how counterpoint was introduced to each of them, why modern harmony courses often set students up for failure, and why “rules on paper” don't work without singing, playing, and real stylistic vocabulary. We also tackle: • Why counterpoint matters (and what it actually trains) • The truth about Fux and why the “species-only” pipeline so often collapses • Why asking students to “write like Bach” can be a disaster—and what to use instead • Whether everyone needs to write a fugue • What “written counterpoint” training should look like when students already have practical skills • Counterpoint's future: horizontality, melody-making, and creative freedom • If you teach, study, or care about the old training paths (solfeggio → partimento → counterpoint), this episode completes the trilogy. Subscribe for more interviews & deep dives into partimento, improvisation, historical pedagogy, and musicianship.

Have you ever felt that panic that if you don't stay on top of things with your big kid, that something might go terribly wrong? You feel that urge to say the right thing, to remind them one more time, or to give them advice they didn't ask for. This urge doesn't come from wanting to control your kid. It comes from love, especially when life becomes so uncertain as your kids grow up. Today, I'm continuing the Mindset Trap series with a focus on the illusion of control. Once you understand why your brain keeps pulling you into fixing and managing, and how much that's actually costing you, you'll see a different way to support your kid without carrying so much anxiety. This episode is going to change how you think about helping, letting go, and finding real peace in this stage of motherhood. Let's dive in.

In this New Year's Eve special of Breaking History, Matt Ehret flies solo to close out 2025 with an extended, classroom-style presentation focused on what he describes as the intellectual, moral, and psychological traps shaping the road ahead. Matt frames the episode around themes of classical tragedy, mob psychology, and the loss of sovereignty, arguing that societies are repeatedly steered into fear-based thinking that leads people to participate in their own destruction. He examines the construction of modern enemy narratives, particularly surrounding China, Russia, and global war rhetoric, drawing on statements from figures such as George Soros, Steve Bannon, and U.S. national security officials. The episode then moves into a deep historical exploration of transhumanism, eugenics, and ideological convergence between technocratic elites and religious eschatology, tracing figures like Julian Huxley, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Bertrand Russell, and the Jesuit tradition. Matt concludes by urging viewers to raise their standards of thinking, reject simplistic narratives, and actively engage their reason and moral judgment as 2026 approaches.

Why do we get stuck on the path of healing—even when we know what to do? In this profound and spiritually charged episode, Lisa A. Romano explores what it truly means to break through the veil—the illusion of the false self that trauma and programming have built around our consciousness. Lisa reveals how trauma rewires the brain to associate authenticity with danger, causing us to abandon our true selves and live from the ego's illusion of safety. Through the lens of neuroscience, psychology, and spirituality, she helps listeners understand why healing requires more than insight—it requires reprogramming the mind and meeting the shadow self head-on. In this episode, you'll learn: ✨ How trauma wires the brain for survival over truth and authenticity

As 2025 winds down with markets near all-time highs, we focus on how investors can stay disciplined, tax-efficient, and emotionally grounded heading into 2026. Jeremiah Bates and Nic Daniels unpack why market volatility—driven by headlines, politics, and forecasts—shouldn't dictate financial decisions, and how time-based "bucket" strategies help protect lifestyle spending regardless of market swings. The guys go into common mistakes made by high-income earners, including excessive cash holdings, poor tax withholding, misreported backdoor Roth contributions, and costly surprises from mutual funds held in taxable accounts. Also, explaining how capital gains are taxed, how they affect Modified Adjusted Gross Income, and why understanding this distinction matters for Medicare premiums and tax planning. Listeners also got a detailed breakdown of Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) versus state Medical Savings Accounts (MSAs), including what expenses are eligible, when premiums can (and can't) be paid, and how HSAs can double as long-term tax-advantaged investment tools.   Listen, Watch, Subscribe, Ask! https://www.therealmoneypros.com Hosts: Jeremiah Bates & Nic Daniels ————————————————————— Ataraxis PEO https://ataraxispeo.com Tree City Advisors of Apollon: https://www.treecityadvisors.com Apollon Wealth Management: https://apollonwealthmanagement.com/ —————————————————————

Covert narcissism in marriage keeps survivors trapped by the belief that if they just tried harder, the relationship would finally improve.If you're exhausted from over-functioning, self-blame, and emotional gymnastics in a narcissistic marriage, this episode is for anyone questioning whether the problem was ever really you. In this episode, we unpack one of the most damaging beliefs in narcissistic abuse: “If you leave, it's because you didn't try hard enough.” This myth quietly traps survivors of covert narcissism in marriage in endless self-audits—replaying conversations, shrinking needs, managing emotions, and proving effort—while the other person remains largely unchanged. We explore why trying harder in an emotionally abusive relationship often means abandoning yourself more completely, not saving the marriage. We also talk about the toll this dynamic takes on your nervous system, including chronic stress, hypervigilance, jaw clenching, insomnia, digestive issues, and emotional exhaustion. Healing and emotional abuse recovery begin when you recognize that effort without empathy is not partnership—and leaving is not failure. In this episode, we cover: Why covert narcissism in marriage creates chronic self-blame The “try harder” myth and how it keeps survivors stuck in narcissistic abuse How emotional abuse leads to trauma responses like hypervigilance, tension, and fatigue Why over-functioning doesn't create safety or connection Reframing leaving as self-preservation, not quitting DISCLAIMER: THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY RENEE SWANSON, COVERT NARCISSISM PODCAST, AND CNG LIFE COACHING IS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TO BE USED FOR DIAGNOSIS PURPOSES AND NOT INTENDED TO BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR CLINICAL CARE.
