We're joined by Bad Religion co-founder and Epitaph Records founder Brett Gurewitz at Brain Dead Studios in Hollywood, CA. We discuss growing up in the West San Fernando Valley, discovering the Ramones in the late 70s, meeting Greg Graffin and Jay Bentley at El Camino Real High School and starting Bad Religion in the quad, founding Epitaph to put out the Bad Religion 7", the entire BR discography, leaving the band right before the overnight success of Offspring's Smash, rejoining for Process of Belief, his thoughts on streaming as it dominates the music landscape today, and his favorite hardcore records ever. A genuine honor with a genuine legend and one of the best punk songwriters to ever live.

Listen Now: AdventureDiaries.com/StoryReaching the North Pole wasn't just about distance—it was about whose work could survive the ice. For over 20 years, Matthew Henson led expeditions where others failed, mastering indigenous travel and keeping teams alive through the harshest conditions on Earth. Yet when history was written, his role was reduced to the margins. This is the story of how polar exploration actually functioned, and why recognition followed authority rather than effort.Listen to the full immersive story of Matthew Henson in our premiere episode of the Adventure Diaries Exploration series.

Some conversations don't start with answers.They start with a shift you didn't see coming.In this episode, Robin sits down with Ashley Gross Minor for a deeply personal and honest conversation about what happens when something that once felt foundational and sacred begins to feel messy and complicated.Ashley spent more than a decade immersed in what many call the “K-World” of Kanakuk Ministries. She was a camper, leader, mentor, and believer whose faith was shaped in that space.But recently, something changed.After engaging with a widely circulated conversation featuring Elizabeth Carlock Phillips on The Shawn Ryan Show, Ashley found herself wrestling with questions she could no longer ignore.This episode isn't about proving facts or revisiting headlines.It's about what happens internally when new information collides with long-held trust.It's about the tension of holding both gratitude and grief. Of reconciling meaningful spiritual experiences with difficult realities. Of deciding what responsibility looks like when silence no longer feels right.This conversation may challenge you. It may resonate with you. It may simply invite you to reflect more deeply.(Listener discretion is advised as we discuss sensitive issues related to child sexual abuse.)Special Guest: Ashley Gross MinorAshley Gross Minor is a wife, mom, and business owner whose life has been deeply impacted by her experiences with Kanakuk Ministries. In fact, she spent more than fourteen years deeply embedded in what many refer to as the Kanakuk “K-World.” She was a camper. A staff member. A recruiter. A graduate of the Institute. A KLIFE director. A leader. A mentor. She sent children she loves to camp. She gave her life to Christ there at twelve years old.For most of her life, this wasn't just a camp. It was a spiritual home.But recently, Ashley listened to a three-plus- hour conversation between Elizabeth Carlock Phillips and Shawn Ryan on The Shawn Ryan Show. This conversation deeply impacted her understanding of what has unfolded over decades within the organization. She joins Robin on this episode to discuss her personal experiences at Kanakuk and why she can no longer remain silent.Show Notes:The Shawn Ryan Show: Elizabeth Phllips- Camp Kanakuk: Exposing One of hte World's Largest Summer Campshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vQriYkW8KQWebsite Ashely mentions: https://factsaboutkanakuk.com/Sexual Abuse Resources for the Columbia, MO area:True North of Columbia (formerly Rape & Abuse Crisis Service / RACS)24/7 crisis line: 573-875-1370 or 800-548-2480Services: confidential counseling, advocacy, support groups, legal/hospital accompanimentServes Boone County and surrounding areasServices are free or low-cost for survivors. SNAP – Survivors Network of those Abused by PriestsHotline: 1-877-SNAP-HEALS (1-877-762-7432)Peer support, advocacy, and referrals to therapists familiar with clergy abuse. The Hope of SurvivorsNational organization focused specifically on clergy sexual abuse and spiritual abuse recovery. These organizations are especially helpful when you want a clinician who understands spiritual betrayal, faith injury, or church dynamics.RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network)24/7 hotline: 800-656-HOPEOnline chat and local provider referrals nationwide. Missouri Coalition / State Sexual Violence NetworkHelps connect you to community rape crisis centers and trauma therapists across Missouri. 

1911 Gold (TSXV: AUMB) announced last week that it raised US$30 million secured credit facility with Auramet International. President and CEO Shaun Heinrichs was interviewed by Michael McCrae for Mining Stock Daily. Heinrich said the facility provides the necessary funding to advance the restart plan for the True North Mine outlined in 1911's recently-released preliminary economic assessment. During the discussion, Heinrichs detailed plans to use the capital for purchasing essential mining equipment, conducting underground development at the True North mine, and installing a new crushing circuit.

This is not a normal week. We are inside an eclipse corridor — between two eclipses — and what you choose now matters. In this episode, I break down the seed-planting energy, Mercury retrograde in Pisces, and the breakthrough warrior current building toward Friday. — Creation IX enrollment closes Feb 23 at 5pm. If you're feeling this week as a choice-point between two worlds, details here — We're sandwiched between two soul-shaking eclipses: New Moon Eclipse (Feb 17) Full Moon Eclipse (Mar 3) What you choose this week… what you speak, release, align to, and walk toward… will ripple out for months, maybe lifetimes. Let's walk it consciously. Let's make this week count. Let's choose from soul. Below are your 5 core themes, 3 big astrology dates, journal prompts + ritual guidance to support your path this week. 5 Core Themes of the Week 1. Choice Point Between Two Worlds You're at a fork in the road. One path loops you into old conditioning. The other… breaks you into freedom, into the extraordinary. Ask: Which world am I feeding with my attention? 2. Breakthrough Energy: Into the New You This week is about shattering upper limits — ancestral, personal, societal. You're being invited to become truer than ever before. 3. Shock into Sovereignty There's a shake-up here — not to scare, but to liberate. This is about reclaiming your direct, sovereign relationship with the divine, outside of any tradition or lineage. 4. Seeding the Future Every word, choice, and step this week is a seed. The Virgo Full Moon Eclipse (Mar 3) wants you to plant embodied, grounded soul seeds — not for the old life, but for the one you're really here to live. 5. Mercury Retrograde: Soul Re-Visioning Begins On Feb 25, Mercury goes retrograde in Pisces. This is no ordinary retrograde — it’s an invitation to reimagine, reconnect, and realign with your spirit's dream, not your ego's plan. Key Dates to Watch Wednesday, Feb 25 — Mercury Retrograde Begins (Pisces) Expect dreamier, non-linear insight. Ritual idea: Sit in meditation or free-write to ask: What limiting story am I ready to dissolve? Thursday, Feb 26 — Sun Conjunct North Node (square Black Moon Lilith) Soul purpose spotlighted. Feminine truth cannot be denied. Prompt: What must I honor about my feminine soul path, even if it doesn't “make sense”? Friday, Feb 27 — Mars Square Uranus Breakthrough energy peaks. Expect action, activation, forward momentum. Ritual: Move your body. Dance. Take one bold action that says “Yes” to your new life. Journal Prompts Where am I planting seeds — in the old world or the new? What part of me is ready to awaken… even if it scares me? What state of being is my soul longing to live from? Where have I still been outsourcing my power? What would it look like to become the artist of my own life? Rituals for the Week Meditate with your future self — the one living your soul path. Speak your truth aloud each morning. Let the words shape your day. Light a candle on Wednesday (Mercury Rx) and offer up one story or belief that's ready to dissolve. Write a soul letter to yourself on Friday — what you're breaking into, not just out of. Feel the Call to Go Deeper?

What does it mean for the Bible to be the living word of God? Hebrews 4 reminds us that the Bible is more than a book we read; it is the word of God that guides our lives. As disciple-makers, we are all on the journey of becoming more like Jesus, our True North, and the Bible is our compass, even when it might disagree with us.MESSAGE NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49568696RESOURCES: https://www.canyonridge.orgBLOG: https://canyonridge.org/blogs/

Have you ever heard or seen a public service announcement warning against digging in your yard? More often than not, there are natural gas lines, cable lines, and other utility lines buried underground, and it is important to ask someone to help you mark where those lines are so you can avoid causing an accident in your yard! But when it comes to your heart, you need help to identify the sin issues that remain in your life, so that you can cut them out! Pastor Gary teaches you that the Holy Spirit will illuminate those issues in your life, so that they can be removed!

Shaun Heinrichs, President and CEO of 1911 Gold Corp (TSXV: AUMB) (OTCQX: AUMBF), joins me to for a comprehensive visual exploration and development update for advancing their True North Project, which includes a permitted mine and mill complex located on the Company's 100%-owned Rice Lake Gold property, spanning  61,647 hectares within and adjacent to the Archean Rice Lake greenstone belt in Manitoba, Canada.   Shaun outlines how 1911 Gold believes its land package is a prime exploration opportunity, on a brownfield site, with the potential to develop a mining district centered on expanding resources and eventually moving back into the development of the past-producing True North complex.  In addition to the permitted mine, there is a 1300 tpd permitted mill in place, which is expandable to 2250 tpd, which would have access to cheap hydroelectric power, and there is a permitted tailings area.   We unpack the key metrics from the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), released to market on February 10th.  Shaun also highlights that this PEA doesn't include any of their drilling for the last 2 years, or the drilling they are doing this year, and is modeled off only a portion of the prior 2018 resource estimate.  Towards the end of this year the Company will be releasing an updated Resource Estimate incorporating the last few years of drilling, and then an updated PEA incorporating that larger resource model.   The initial PEA released this month outlines a robust gold mining operation utilizing the fully built and permitted infrastructure, including shafts, underground workings, and the processing and tailings management facility. 1911 Gold has estimated the infrastructure replacement value as being in excess of $400 million. The plan targets steady-state production of 58,114 ounces per annum with a mine life of 11 years.   PEA Highlights:   Robust Economics (After-tax):  At a long-term gold price of US$3,000 per ounce (“oz”) there is a Net present value (“NPV”) (5%) of $391 million, internal rate of return (“IRR”) of 105%, and a payback period of 2.2 years At a constant gold price of US$4,800/oz, the NPV(5%) grows to $998 million, with no calculated IRR due to no years with a negative cash flow, and an almost immediate payback period of under 1.0 year. Fully Permitted, Low Capital Project: Initial capital expenditures (“Capex”) of $59.2 million, utilizing the currently built and permitted payable infrastructure. Additional Capex of $46.7 million during the first 2 years of ramp-up. Processing: Average diluted mill head grade of 4.32 grams per tonne gold (“g/t”, “Au”) with gold recoveries of 93.5% over the LOM. Cash Costs and AISC: Producing gold at a cash cost of US$1,390/oz and all in sustaining cost (“AISC”) of US$1,897/oz. Near-Term Production: Production due to start in the first half of 2027 with test mining and a bulk sample planned for the second half of 2026. Production Growth: 1911 Gold has identified excellent potential to increase production by developing recently discovered zones such as San Antonio Southeast, San Antonio West, and Shore which are adjacent to existing infrastructure and not included in the study, in addition to regional targets.   This led us into the ongoing aggressive exploration program underway at surface for shallow high-grade targets as well as at depth, at their 2 new discoveries: the San Antonio West and San Antonio Southeast. The ongoing drilling is expanding the known resources of around 1.1 million ounces of gold in all categories.   With regards to regional targets, there was a 2,200-metre (“m”) diamond drill program completed in December at the Ogama-Rockland gold deposit, located approximately 27 kilometres (“km”) southeast of the True North Gold Project. One surface drill rig was mobilized and commenced drilling on December 12, 2025, and focused on resource expansion and confirmation drilling, with a separate resource update due out from this area later this year.   If you have any questions for Shaun regarding 1911 Gold Corp, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.

  In this powerful episode of the Peak Human Labs Podcast, Dr. Sanjeev Goel sits down with ultra-endurance athlete, cancer survivor, and leadership speaker Sean Swarner to explore the intersection of resilience, identity, and purpose. Sean has accomplished feats most consider impossible, completing the Explorers Grand Slam, the Seven Summits plus the North and South Poles, running seven marathons on seven continents in seven days, finishing Ironman World Championships, and more, all while living with only one functioning lung. Sean shares his extraordinary journey through two childhood cancer diagnoses, Hodgkin's lymphoma at 13 and a rare sarcoma at 16, along with intensive chemotherapy, radiation that permanently damaged his right lung, and survival odds that were nearly nonexistent. Those early battles shaped the mindset he still lives by today, staying present, visualizing success, and anchoring his actions to deeper purpose. From imagining himself destroying cancer cells as a child to holding onto the image of a full family dinner table, Sean learned to focus not on avoiding death, but on choosing life. Together, Sean and Dr. Goel explore why the mind often quits before the body, how small acts of self-negotiation quietly erode core values, and why chasing external achievements can lead to hollow victories or even depression. Sean introduces the concept of “false summits”, milestones that look impressive but leave us asking, now what, and explains how true fulfillment comes from alignment, not accolades. Throughout the conversation, Sean offers practical and relatable tools for everyday life, breaking overwhelming goals into micro steps, reframing habits around who you are rather than what you're avoiding, and separating identity from accomplishments. He also shares insights from his upcoming book, The True Summit Method: How Leaders Turn Pressure into Peak Performance, and his work guiding others up Mount Kilimanjaro, where he blends extreme challenge with deep personal reflection. Whether you're navigating health challenges, pursuing big goals, rebuilding after burnout, or feeling unfulfilled despite success, this episode offers raw honesty, mental resilience strategies, and a grounded roadmap for building a life that feels both successful and meaningful, one intentional step at a time.   Our Guest: Sean Swarner Sean Swarner is an extreme endurance athlete, keynote speaker, author, and adventurer who defies limits. After surviving two childhood cancers that left him with one lung, he completed feats including the Explorers Grand Slam, seven marathons in seven days across seven continents, and multiple Ironman finishes. Featured in the documentary True North (available free on YouTube), Sean now helps leaders and adventurers avoid "false summits" through his True Summit Method framework, Kilimanjaro expeditions, workshops, and upcoming book. He blends personal experience with leadership insights to turn pressure into peak performance.   Key Takeaways Personal core values act as an internal compass during adversity and pressure. The mind often gives up before the body reaches its true limit. Small compromises with yourself can slowly erode confidence and self-respect. Focusing on the next small step makes overwhelming goals achievable. Achievement without alignment leads to false summits and emotional emptiness. True fulfillment comes from the process, not just the outcome. Success and fulfillment are not always the same; alignment bridges the gap.

How do you know you're headed north if you don't know how to read the compass? The Bible is the living Word of God, given to His people to learn and grow from it. It can be easy to parachute into the Bible, read it without context, or even believe it's too hard to understand. The story of the Bible is this: There was a time when God created all things with good in mind. When we start looking for good without God, He makes a way for us to pursue a relationship with Him through Jesus. MESSAGE NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49565205RESOURCES: https://www.canyonridge.orgBLOG: https://canyonridge.org/blogs/

In this episode of Mining Stock Daily, host Michael McCrae speaks with CEO Shaun Heinrichs of 1911 Gold (TSX-V: AUMB) about the company's newly-released preliminary economic assessment (PEA) for the True North Gold Project in Manitoba. The study outlines a redevelopment plan built around existing permitted infrastructure with the goal of restarting operations through a relatively low initial capital investment. The PEA contemplates average annual gold production of approximately 58,000 ounces over an estimated 11-year mine life and presents projected economics that management believes support advancement to the next stage of study.During the discussion, the CEO outlines the assumptions behind the PEA, including gold price sensitivity, operating costs, and capital intensity, and explains how the company views the path toward financing and potential construction. The conversation also addresses exploration upside within the broader land package and the risks and uncertainties inherent in moving from a PEA to more advanced engineering studies.

In this episode, Tiffany dives into a critical challenge facing today's coaches, consultants, speakers, and authors: the subtle "outsourcing" of leadership and authority. While we live in an era where AI and algorithms can generate content in seconds, Tiffany explores the hidden costs of letting technology and trends replace human discernment.She clarifies that while she is a proponent of technology (integrating AI into her own Brand OS Pro ecosystem), there is a vital distinction between using tools to support your authority versus using them to substitute it. This episode is a call to action for thought leaders to reclaim their "internal compass," protect their intellectual property, and lead with a grounded perspective that no algorithm can replicate.Key TakeawaysSupport vs. Substitution: Technology should amplify your discernment, not replace your thinking. Use AI to expand your leadership capacity, but never as a replacement for your unique perspective.The Subtlety of Giving Away Authority: Outsourcing authority rarely happens overnight. It begins when we prioritize "what's working right now" (trends/optimization) over our own "True North" (truth/alignment).Algorithms vs. Wisdom: Algorithms are designed for engagement, and AI is trained on what already exists. Neither can sense nuance, feel timing, or take responsibility for the consequences of a decision, those are uniquely human traits.The Map and the Compass: Think of AI and external strategies as maps that show you where others have gone. You must remain the compass. If you follow the map without checking your compass, you may move fast, but you won't move toward your true mission.The Hidden Cost of Hollow Messaging: When authority lives outside of you, your brand loses its coherence. Listeners and clients can energetically sense when a leader's confidence is wavering or when their message feels "diluted" by copy-and-paste thinking.Protecting Your IP: True authority involves owning and protecting your Intellectual Property (IP). Within the Brand OS Pro framework, AI is used to house and reinforce your unique voice, ensuring your nuance isn't erased by automation.Reflective Questions for Leaders:Where have I been deferring instead of deciding?What opinions have I been trusting more than my own?Where have I optimized away my intuition?What would leadership look like if I trusted myself more fully?Mentioned ResourcesBrand OS Pro: Tiffany's signature ecosystem for helping leaders integrate systems and AI while protecting their IP and authority.Connect with Tiffany:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tiffanyneuman/Email: tiffany@tiffanyneuman.comRate, Review, and Follow on Your Favorite Platform!

Looking south from the "True North Strong and Free"... do we need to pass you the joint or what?​In this episode of Thoughts Off The Stem, we're sparking up and peering over the 49th parallel to witness the absolute unit of a circus that is the American political landscape. Sometimes you need a little herb just to take the edge off, especially when the "quiet neighbors" upstairs are watching the party downstairs turn into a full-blown dumpster fire. ​We're breaking down the madness with the bewildered curiosity only a slightly toasted Canadian can provide, covering: • ​The TikTok Trauma Feed: Why MAGA ideology on the FYP feels like a hockey riot where nobody is wearing skates and everyone is screaming at the ref. • ​The Death of Civil Discourse: Is "please" and "thank you" officially extinct, or has the culture war just made everyone forget how to share the metaphorical bong? • ​The "Maple MAGA" Leak: How political polarization is trickling north faster than a cold front from the Arctic, testing our "sorry" reflex to the limit. ​Join Thoughts Off The Stem for a comedic deep dive into why "America the Great" has become America the "I Said We're Great." We're looking for common ground, but at this point, we'd settle for a conversation that doesn't end in a digital restraining order. ​Whether you're a concerned Canuck or an exhausted American, let's see if we can find some chill in a world that's lost its cool.Don't forget to Like, Share, Follow/Subscribe and visit Tots420.com

[00:00:38] Duane Mancini: What better industry than where I get to wake up every day and just save people's lives. [00:00:42] Lindsey Dinneen: These are extraordinary people doing extraordinary work, and this is The Leading Difference. Hello, and welcome back to another episode of The Leading Difference podcast. I'm your host, Lindsey, and today I am delighted to introduce you to my guest, Sean Bagai. Sean has served as Chief Executive Officer and Director since 2014 of RenovoRx. Prior to joining, he led global market development for HeartFlow, Inc from 2011 to 2014, which included directing Japanese market research, regulatory payer collaboration, and key opinion leader development to create value, resulting in a company investment to form HeartFlow Japan. During his tenure at HeartFlow, he successfully orchestrated their largest clinical trial to date and contracted HeartFlow's first global customers. In addition, Sean has launched innovative technologies into regional and global marketplaces in both large corporations and growth phase novel technology companies. Sean is a graduate from the University of California Santa Barbara with a Bachelor of Science in Biology / Pre-med. All right. Well, thank you so much for being here, Sean. I'm so delighted to speak with you today. [00:01:54] Shaun Bagai: Thanks for the opportunity. I really appreciate it. [00:01:55] Lindsey Dinneen: Of course. Well, I'd love, if you wouldn't mind starting off by just telling us a little bit about who you are, what your background has been like, and what led you to MedTech? [00:02:07] Shaun Bagai: I really appreciate the question 'cause it's really my background and kinda the early part of my journey that landed me where I am today. I actually did an internship at a medical device startup company in Silicon Valley between what would've been college and med school. And while I was applying to med school, my goal was to get some experience in the industry, in a medical technology space, and then go out to med school. And the founder of my company and CEO really advised me not to go to med school once I got in to become, someday an entrepreneur like his own self. And I ended up following his footsteps with the goal of, just like he, did build companies that really make a major impact on medicine. [00:02:44] Lindsey Dinneen: Wow. [00:02:45] Shaun Bagai: So from, yeah, so from that early kind of intro to medical technology and learning what an entrepreneur could do in building new therapies and technologies, I ended up running clinical research at that company once I declined med school. We exited to Medtronic where I learned the sales side of things. So, this physician founder CEO along with my mentor, said, look, if you want to build and run companies, you have to really understand what the market's like and how you get a product into the hands of physicians to treat patients and what it takes to really sell the product. So I spent a couple years flying around the country training physicians on the technology that I learned as a proctor-- which I've done in every company that I've worked with and for-- then went on to sales for about five years and launched Medtronic's first drug coated coronary stent as a sales representative. And then transitioned out of Medtronic after several years, cutting my teeth on the big company dynamics and the sales revenue aspect of it to a startup company called Ardian, which developed a new way to treat high blood pressure using a device. There I led physician training, transitioned them from clinical research into commercial in Europe. We exited to Medtronic for about a billion dollars and went on to another startup company to help develop their market. And really that was a disruptive technology in how to assess coronary artery disease in leading international market development. They hired me about 15 years prematurely to commercialize them, so I helped them with physician training, market development in Japan, clinical research and left to join RenovoRx where I took over 11 and a half years ago. That company actually went public for about 2.5 billion this last year. So, and all three of these technologies have really already made a major impact on patients, and I feel that RenovoRx, this has probably my biggest one yet in terms of major impact. [00:04:26] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Okay. So I can't wait to dive into that, but there's a lot before that too to talk about. So, when you were growing up, was medicine and science always a huge interest to you or did that develop later on? [00:04:41] Shaun Bagai: You know, it's funny you asked 'cause I've done a lot of interviews and that question has never come up. So I've gotta, I've gotta pause for a second. It's interesting. My, my background was really business oriented growing up. I loved business. I loved the idea of how you get something marketable. As a very young child, I had very embarrassing stories of trying to sell things as a kid that I used to bring back from India, for example, like bouncy balls or crocheted place mats or whatnot. But then sustaining a football injury in high school, I found that physicians couldn't treat me. And I learned that there's gotta be a different way to treat patients. And I arrogantly thought, "Well, I could be a better doctor than you guys and someday treat young athletes like myself." So, my passion went immediately and complete a hundred percent into become a physician to help patients. So that kind of transitioned me to being med school bound from the age of about 15, and didn't look back until I got into med school and got pushed back to business. And now I get the best of both worlds. [00:05:37] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, no, absolutely. So you have so many diverse experiences with a bunch of different companies and you know, everything from it sounds like a quite the small team to obviously these huge enterprise type companies. What are some of the key lessons you learned along the way that help you in your current role? [00:05:58] Shaun Bagai: I think the biggest aspect I've learned along the way, and what I'd definitely tell the younger entrepreneurs, is to be very open and receptive to different ideas. Also look for mentorship and leadership examples. And I've been lucky throughout my career, I've been able to identify leaders who are not perfect because no one is, but I found skill sets and activities and thought processes that I wanted to emulate, and I feel like I've been successful because I've been able to take the best of those and also look for mistakes and weaknesses and to see how I could either surround myself with people to fulfill my lack of strengths in areas and or improve on myself to help be a better leader by emulating them. [00:06:37] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. And speaking of leadership, as you kind of grew into all of these, you know, more and more responsibility laden roles, were there any moments along the way where you kind of just had these learning curves of, you know, either witnessing something that you were like, "Oof, I don't wanna do that." Or the opposite of it sounds like you had maybe some really great mentors in your life that showed you perhaps a better way of doing things. But in terms of your overall leadership strategy, how did the various good, bad, and ugly shape how you show up as a leader? [00:07:16] Shaun Bagai: You know, that's a four hour discussion probably, but, but to, to tackle some of the high notes that I learned, it's --and I continue to always learn-- the biggest challenge we face as leaders is trying to find out what makes people work in the right fit for your organization. And as, as you mentioned aptly, I've worked for very large and small teams, big companies, small companies, and not everyone's fit for those positions. You have very talented, enthusiastic, passionate people that could really flourish in a big company structured environment and would die in a startup company. And vice versa. You have very structured people that cannot understand the idea of progress ahead of process in small companies as well, and finding that balance of trying to get the best out of what someone likes to do and what their fit is. And further really identifying if you can align their passions and their career goals, what the company's goal is, you find the dynamite employee. So I try to find that balance has been difficult and challenging. My biggest challenge I think, in learning curve for me was trying to have both the non micromanaging skillset and then also the oversight and ability to let people run and to be successful and grow and learn and make mistakes. And then teach them from the mistakes, they'll become stronger leaders under you as well. [00:08:32] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. All right, well, bringing us to the present day, what does your company do? What are the innovative solutions that you're providing? Because I know you are on the cutting edge of a lot of really amazing technology. [00:08:48] Shaun Bagai: Yeah, it's been very exciting. We are finding a different way to treat cancer patients, and if you think about therapeutics in general, we as a medical industry and society have really looked at, "Okay, how do we kill a tumor? How do we prolong life?" And a lot of times we forget that there's a patient that's harboring that tumor and maybe the life isn't really worth it when you beat them up with chemotherapy every day and they're on a couch, not eating, not spending time with family. And what we've developed invented and really built out now commercial with a clinical research program as well, is how to localize therapies such that you don't have the systemic toxicities, but you do have the effect for patients live longer. And tumors that really don't behave well when it comes to cancer therapy, like pancreatic cancer is where we spent the bulk of our time so far. [00:09:31] Lindsey Dinneen: Okay. And then can you talk a little bit more about what makes your approach so innovative? [00:09:39] Shaun Bagai: It's really by accident like most great medical are. It's a physician who had an idea based off a single patient where he saw a challenge. And Dr. Ramtin Agah, the founder of the company, had a pancreatic cancer patient, and as a cardiologist his cardiac patient had pancreatic cancer and had a bleeder. And he scrubbed in with a radiologist to treat the bleeder and found that there's no good device to isolate segments around the pancreas because of the way the anatomy is. So what differentiates us is it was after an unmet need first, and then came the device technology and then clinical data, and now adoption where tumors like pancreatic cancer tumors don't have high blood flows posing them not susceptible to chemotherapy and not a good target for local delivery. So he developed and invented this therapy and technology to really get high doses of chemotherapy in these types of tumors in a manner and mechanism that's very different than we've ever seen before. And that's looks like it's being successful. [00:10:34] Lindsey Dinneen: Wow, that's amazing. So you have had some clinical validations, clinical trials as well? Yeah? [00:10:41] Shaun Bagai: Yeah, we did. Yeah, for sure. We did a phase one two trial initially in pancreatic cancer, non-metastatic. We found that patients that are expected to live between 12 and 20 months, let's say, or even narrower these days, about 14, 15, 16 months-- our patients were living over two and a half years and we were starting to push survival where many patients were 3, 4, 5 years since diagnosis. Since then, we've launched a phase three trial based on that, and that's wrapping up enrollment soon. And based on the success of the therapy and technology in terms of toxicities, a lot of physicians have said, look, we want to treat patients today with this. And given that the device is FDA cleared, we've now begun to commercialize the device component for physicians to use at their discretion, where we're starting to see benefit for patients across the spectrum. [00:11:25] Lindsey Dinneen: Wow, so, so this is a very highly targeted-- it's able to get right to the source, right, so that there, it kind of helps to-- like you mentioned, there are some cancers that are much harder to treat by just sort of your, well, more standard practices with chemotherapy. So can you explain a little bit more about how it works in terms of the delivery? [00:11:50] Shaun Bagai: Yeah, think about tumors like pancreatic cancer tumors as cities with freeways next to them with no off-ramps. And that's one of the biggest issues is that when we think about tumors in general, we think of a ball of blood vessels with a lot of tumor cells. So blood supply gets there, they feed the tumors, but it also creates a, you know, off ramps or a highway to the tumors where chemotherapy reaches. Other tumors like pancreatic tumors, glioblastoma or brain tumors, non-small cell lung cancer bile duct cancer, uterine tumors, many others, they don't have this large blood supply. So it's like there's a freeway going next to a tumor and the chemotherapy doesn't see that tumor. So the way we've developed our technology, it's a double balloon catheter based system, so it's minimally invasive. It goes in through the patient's leg artery. And the patients are-- it's not a full surgery. It's more of a minimally invasive, same day outpatient procedure where the device isolates blood flow next the tumor, and uses pressure to force the chemotherapy to leave the vascular system to then bathe and saturate the tumor with chemo. So again, if you think about that freeway without an off ramp, we basically are forcing and creating and finding these micro channels like an off ramp to actually access the tumor. And this is where all our patents lie as well. So we developed this whole new method and mechanism of delivery of drugs and chemotherapy. [00:13:07] Lindsey Dinneen: That is amazing. So I'm sure that there are probably many stories as you've done this and just throughout your whole career. But are there any moments that really stand out to you as kind of affirming for you that, "Wow, I am in the right industry at the right time." [00:13:26] Shaun Bagai: I, I've luckily been validated with that thought process my whole career. As as a son of Indian parents, many say, "How did you not go to med school once you got in? Were you a disappointment to your family? Do you regret not gonna medical school and becoming a physician?" And I've been very lucky that I spent my whole career successfully helping technologies treat patients. The first moment was my first job going from declining med school through running clinical research and being the lead physician proctor, I used to fly around the country and teach doctors how to open up leg arteries that otherwise would be amputated. And by with this new technology, it was great to see how great patients were doing because of our technology. And every company I've worked on since has had that same effect on patients. So luckily, it's been always along the way, and very luckily, it was very early in my career to validate this this was the right pathway. [00:14:13] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. You know what you've mentioned too at the beginning that it sounds like a huge passion of yours, and maybe it has always been the case, but is making a difference in people's lives, being a part of companies that are, you know, actively improving and helping save lives. And so, I'm curious too, where did that passion come from? Was that part of that sort of, "I'm gonna be a physician, I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna do this whole thing, I'm gonna save the athletes," but then, you know, kind of evolved from there? Or is that more deep seated? [00:14:46] Shaun Bagai: You know, it's interesting, I think it evolved along the way. I've always tried to be a helpful person in general, just as a human being. The, again, the, I think the initial idea was I wanna help patients because they couldn't help me as an athlete. So orthopedic surgery or cardiology were kind of the two i ideas or areas I wanted to specialize in when I thought the med school route. And then it was a matter of, I love the science, I love the technology, I love the medical science as well, and I love the business aspect of it. So I learned that there's this whole industry called medical technology that allows you to do all of that. And after seeing the benefit to our patients as a young clinical researcher, I really got the the addiction to trying to find ways to treat patients better. [00:15:29] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Well, and I think I'd be curious to know too, 'cause I think, you know, that passion also comes from probably some core values that you hold that have sort of guided you. And I would wonder too is with, as having had such a diverse amount of really cool industry experience, what are some things that have been the guiding lights as you've gone around, you know, just things that you come back to as core values for how you wanna show up in the world? [00:15:59] Shaun Bagai: It's a very interesting question. I think one of the most interesting books that I have opportunity to be exposed to is "True North" and it's basically CEO's paths on aligning values with the company values and goals and making sure that that what you're doing is the right way to do things and the right thing to do. Often people can misstep as leaders in taking shortcuts and how you treat people. And there are no shortcuts. It's the hard work, it's the lead by example. It's putting in the late hours and demonstrating this is how you get things done. So I think that's probably a biggest part of making sure you align well with the company goals and having those values in place. And also how you treat people. We have a lot of leaders who are not the nicest people to their employees. I'm not gonna name any current companies, but, we all hear stories, they all exist. And I find that back to the, one of the original ideas is that when you align yourself and when you actually care about the people you work with and like the people you work with, they work harder and you work better as a team. And at the end of the day, all of us who work hard spend more time working than with our families and loved ones. And you want to actually make that fun and challenging and interesting and successful and it's almost like a second family, the people you work with. And it's important to keep that in mind 'cause people lose that a little bit. [00:17:12] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Well, and I wanna go back to something you said too because this is actually a timely, interesting topic because of something that recently happened that I heard, and, you know, basically it was this idea of, if the personal goals aren't aligned with the company goals, they're not really worthwhile. And I was really struck by that comment and I was surprised by it because I don't feel that is true. Basically, to your point, part of it is you are spending, you're a hard worker, right? And so you're motivated to come in, you know you're doing things that matter. So it makes sense that you're going to have sort of, what would we call it, sort of innate personal goals that would hopefully align with the company's goals? But I'm curious, as a leader yourself, when you're helping your team maybe even develop or nurture those kinds of personal goals, how do you help them succeed both, you know, personally and professionally themselves, but then for the company so that as a whole, we are successful? [00:18:13] Shaun Bagai: I, I believe honestly, that's easier to do in a smaller startup type company than the large organizations. And the reason is because people who choose these types of companies have really strived to learn and grow, be exposed to, they're passionate about what they're doing 'cause it is so hard to be successful and there's always risk. And so I feel like building, running, working with and for companies that are kind of in a growth smaller phase, it almost weeds out the wrong types of people in terms of their ability to be passionate and work hard enough for that common goal. Because pretty quickly, and I've heard this before, and we've gone through this with our own companies, "This is too much work." And I've got someone else who was working 90 hours a week because they were so passionate about what we're doing with patients and they were touched by cancer. We've had cancer patients in the company, we've had family members with the cancer, so I feel like by nature you almost weed out the people that aren't the right fits. And there's also personal goals, and you know, people always have selfish motives at the core in certain areas, but being in a small company, you can identify where someone like to grow. And being in a small company, everyone does everything. In large siloed companies, you kind of miss that. And some people like that. They like the control, they like the punch and punch out, which is great. But when you're trying to build a small organization that's growing and pivoting and shifting, people like that fast-paced environment, and that's how I got lucky in how I grew. I got to do everything as a young, you know, post undergrad where I did clinical research and clinic, preclinical research and marketing and a little bit of sales and physician training, and that really allowed me to spread my wings and everyone I've mentored and guided and worked with feels the same way. [00:19:48] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah. I love that perspective. I think you touched on something that's really key is the alignment of goals in the sense of, we all know we're striving towards the same things, like we all want our patients to be healthier and live longer, better lives, you know, or what, whatever the mission statement is, per se, but being aligned and having that shared passion makes such a difference. So, okay, pivoting the conversation a little bit, just for fun. Imagine that you were to be offered a million dollars to teach a masterclass on anything you want. It can be within your industry, but it doesn't have to be. What would you choose to teach? [00:20:28] Shaun Bagai: You know, it's I used to think about that question when I was younger and thought "I have no talents." [00:20:31] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh, no. [00:20:33] Shaun Bagai: Yeah. But I've learned over the years that the things that make me successful are the ones that you don't think about. At least I didn't think about forefront. I think networking is probably the biggest piece, is really thinking about people who can have a positive impact and influence, and keeping in touch and not judging people, not dismissing people, not holding grudges. And you find along the years that you end up collecting a lot of interesting people that could be helpful for you down the road or you could help connect them. So I like connecting other people who can help people. And it's amazing. Throughout my career, I come back and I remember a fellow in Germany, I worked with my first company and he was in town for a conference. Fast forward 15 years, I'm like, "Hey, Dr. Naber, I'm in town. Why don't we meet? What are you up to these days?" "Oh, I'm working with this company called HeartFlow, and we have a new medical technology on looking at coronary artery disease. What are you up to?" "Oh, I'm the head of the hospital system in Frankfurt." It's like, wow, a lot's changed in 15 years and all of a sudden he became one of our biggest investigators and it's, and it wasn't because I thought I'd get something out of him. It's just I like keeping in touch with people and who knows where your path cross, and I've been able to connect other people to other people in the same regard. So, I remember I gave a talk about nine years ago on, on how I got to become a CEO of this company and I had this kind of Brady Bunch PowerPoint presentation. "Well, this person got me a job as an intern at this company. I met this doctor here. I met this company there," and there was like this spider web of how I got here. And it's amazing how all these people had an impact on my life at some point or another. And a lot of my team members are the same thing. It's amazing how many people you end up knowing if you're friendly, nice nonjudgmental, don't hold grudges, and people learn, grow, mature, change careers, and it's good to really treat everyone well and it comes back. [00:22:12] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Could not agree more, and oh my goodness, I was just thinking about, yeah the, also the fact that, you know, as, as large as the industry is, it actually is also very small, so people know each other and so you also need to be cognizant of that as you're interacting. But I'm curious, just real follow real quick follow up to your point, what would be your advice for somebody who feels a little bit, maybe awkward or they're introverted, so it's a little bit harder to start those conversations. What would be a piece of advice for somebody who might either be new to networking or just not be comfortable with it very much? [00:22:52] Shaun Bagai: It is interesting 'cause I've been an extrovert mostly, but I'm also shy, which is oxymoronic. And I've got team members who have no problem walking up to, let's say a famous CEO or person and saying, "Hey, I'm i've got a question for you." And I think it's a matter of trying to break outta your comfort zone and ask questions because I find that most leaders do like to give back and do like to mentor. And a lot of them are very intelligent and a lot of 'em think a lot of themselves. And people like to talk and to teach. So, and that's more often the case than not. So for someone a little bit shy or trying to break into that idea is finding the right mentors and asking questions. People like to talk usually. And using that and being confident there, and also understanding that you may get blown off. You may get a no, you may get, you know, and not being disgruntled and going after it again and again, even though it's, it's difficult sometimes, but just to push yourself forward and be out there. [00:23:47] Lindsey Dinneen: Curiosity and persistence. I like it. There you go. There we go. All right. And how do you wish to be remembered after you leave this world? [00:23:59] Shaun Bagai: You know, I think about one of my first mentors, Dr. Josh McElroy. He has made an impact on medicine-- yeah, get emotional when I think about it-- that's mentored so many young people and built so many technologies that helps patients, and leaving this world having an impact on medicine where I help build therapies and technologies that made an impact for generation lives to come is really important. [00:24:23] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. And that's a beautiful legacy. Yeah. All right. And then final question. What is one thing that makes you smile every time you see or think about it? [00:24:33] Shaun Bagai: You know, I think it's the comradery with my team at work. And it's interesting 'cause the best days I work, it doesn't matter what's happening. If we're aligned and we have the same mission and we are pushing for the same direction. When you have 10 people wrong go about in the same direction, it feels amazing. And that's something that I really enjoy. And of course, it's not gonna be like that every day, every minute. And the challenges are always big and there's always, especially with an intelligent senior staff, there's always disagreements and arguments. But being open-minded and aligning and they, we always come around and align, those are the things that really make me smile. [00:25:08] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. That's great. That's awesome. Well, this has been a fantastic conversation. I really appreciate your time and your insights. I really appreciate, especially you going a little bit deeper into, yeah, kind of, kind of the lessons learned and what makes you tick and your passion for this industry and your current role.

How often do you help people? How often do you see or hear about someone in need and actually inconvenience yourself for the betterment of someone else's life? In today's message, Pastor Gary will point out that Jesus inconvenienced Himself. He surrendered His time to what the Lord wanted to do in and through Him. Look at how that worked out…look at all that Jesus accomplished by allowing the Lord to govern His decisions! So, today, stop and ask the Lord how you can help someone else!

In this episode, I sit down with Triad members Matt Dixon and Byron Hurren to break down how True North evolved from a founder-led advisory firm into a scalable, system-driven business.Just a few years ago, Matt was still running client appointments, and growth flowed almost entirely through him. Byron was another advisor on the team, trying to keep up inside a model that relied heavily on individual talent. Today, Matt is fully out of client meetings, Byron is leading and training a five-person sales team, and the firm is pacing for over $200M in new assets this year.We unpack exactly what changed — how they replaced personality-driven selling with a repeatable sales process, why conversations are replicated nearly word-for-word, and how training, accountability, and culture turned individual production into firm-wide scale. This episode is a clear look at what it actually takes to grow beyond the founder without losing control of the business. 3 of the biggest insights from Matt Dixon & Byron Hurren… #1.) Scaling Requires One Process, Not Multiple StylesTrue North didn't grow by hiring more talented closers. They grew by eliminating variation. Once every advisor followed the same repeatable process, results became predictable, coachable, and scalable. #2.) Selling the Plan Changed EverythingThe shift from pitching products to selling an ongoing planning process created clarity for clients and confidence for advisors. Planning became the product, and the team became the value. #3.) Accountability Is the Growth MultiplierWeekly training, recorded meetings, and direct feedback created a culture where improvement was non-negotiable. Advisors either followed the process or self-selected out.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/152FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALTwitterInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW DBDL ON SOCIAL:YouTubeTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookDISCLOSURE DBDL podcast episode conversations are intended to provide financial advisors with ideas, strategies, concepts and tools that could be incorporated into their business and their life.

Being a lukewarm Christian, or someone who just sits on the fence of full surrender, isn't a true Christian. Christians are people who follow God with everything they have; they're “little Christs”. In today's message, Pastor Gary will challenge you on where you stand with your faith. Are you on fire for God or barely wading in the water? God calls everyone to a passionate life devoted to Him and His ministry…does that describe you?! On fire, passionate, devoted?! These are all characteristics of a true Christian!

At one time, ⁠Andrew Lawton⁠ was struggling with mental health issues, suicidal himself. Had MAID been an option for him then, he may well have taken it.

In this special episode, host Dr. Frank Sabatino is joined by Mark Huberman (President of the National Health Association), Wanda Huberman (Executive Director), Dr. Alan Goldhamer (Founder & Director of TrueNorth Health Center), and Dr. Lisa Acocella, physician and educator at TrueNorth. Together, they share the story behind an exciting new collaboration: a joint NHA + TrueNorth community membership designed to help people sustain a whole-food, plant-based, SOS-free lifestyle long after leaving a retreat—or even if they've never attended one. In this episode, they discuss: Why community and connection are essential for long-term health success The roots of lifestyle medicine in natural hygiene and NHA's 77-year legacy Why water-only fasting and SOS-free eating remain foundational principles The challenges people face after returning home from health centers How this new membership provides education, guidance, and peer support Why standards matter in a world increasingly diluting plant-based principles How incremental change can still honor a clear health direction What members receive through the new NHA + TrueNorth partnership This is a hopeful, grounded conversation about autonomy, healing, and the power of shared values.

There are so many Christians who want to point out others' sins, but not even acknowledge their own. Some people consciously or unconsciously rank sin by their own judgment. There are varying consequences, but the heart behind sin is the same. In today's message, Pastor Gary will encourage you to let God be be judge of sin…your own sin and everyone else. It isn't fair for you to judge someone else while also still being a sinner. God loves ALL sinners and wants redemption for EVERYONE!

In this second Best Of compilation, our team distilled the most powerful insights from 2025, and some from 2024—of Investing in Integrity. Spanning leadership, culture, and purpose-driven finance and investing, this special edition brings together defining moments from more than 40 conversations with some of the world's most thoughtful executives, investors, and builders.Rather than a simple highlight reel, this episode revisits key voices across multiple dimensions of leadership — reflecting how the same principles show up differently in how we lead, how we build culture, and how we deploy capital. Selecting these moments was no easy task, but each was chosen for its ability to inspire us to think more deeply our lives and our work.

As Grace City Church steps into 2026, Pastor Josh McPherson launches a six-week series called The Consecrated Life—a call to pause, realign, and return to what matters most before charging the next hill. Teaching from Revelation 2, Pastor Josh warns that a church can work hard, endure opposition, and do good deeds—yet still drift from its first love. This message calls believers to stop being busy for God while growing distant from God, and instead embrace a life of consecration. Consider supporting the mission of SMN and helping us start the Stronger Man App: https://givebutter.com/smn-legacySupport the showThanks for listening!

Happy New Year, Thrivesters!  Today we're diving into one of my favorite rituals: choosing the one word (or phrase) that becomes your True North for the year ahead. Not a resolution. Not a list. Not pressure in disguise. Just a single grounding idea that guides how you show up, move, and make decisions.I've been using a “word of the year” for over a decade, and when I tell you it works…it works. One of my past words, Thrive, ended up inspiring my vision board, my daily screensaver, a feature in Thrive Global, and eventually – yes - the Thrive Hive Podcast. That's how powerful aligned intention is.I've had missteps too. Some words fall flat. Some years fall apart. And that's all part of the process.This year my word is FRESH.And the story behind it is equal parts hilarious and incredibly insightful. (Spoiler: it started with my husband insisting on “showing up fresh” and me being a bit bratty about it.)Then I thought about this idea of “fresh”.   What if fresh wasn't a luxury… but a choice? A mindset? A way of living where you stop powering through and start choosing presence, boundaries, rest, clarity, and a fresh approach to the things that matter?Imagine giving yourself:✨ fresh perspective✨ fresh habits✨ fresh grace✨ fresh energy✨ fresh beginnings—even in places that feel oldThink of fresh as the antidote to “just push through.” It's not perfection. It's renewal.We're stepping into 2026 with fresh energy - shedding the old like the Year of the Snake, and galloping into the new like the Year of the Horse (because yes, we're talking Chinese astrology too).This year is going to move.And I want all of us ready Thrivesters - not exhausted, not depleted, not dragging yourself to the starting line.Fresh. As. A. Daisy. Welcome to 2026, Thrivesters. Let's ride.Let's go thrive like we mean it. Links & Resources:Join the Thrive Hive and receive the Weekly Buzz: ⁠https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/MurXaK9⁠Grab my best-selling book Unmute Yourself: https://www.amazon.com/Unmute-Yourself-Speak-Stand-Out/dp/B094988YFDFollow me on Instagram: ⁠@nancy_medoff (https://www.instagram.com/nancy.medoff)Connect with me on LinkedIn: @nancymedoff (https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancymedoff/)

Hello to you, Marilyn, listening in Hancock, New Hampshire!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington, this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Wednesdays on Whidbey—this final day of the old year—and your host, Diane Wyzga.      Shoveling Snow With Buddha by Billy Collins"In the usual iconography of the temple or the local Wokyou would never see him doing such a thing,tossing the dry snow over the mountainof his bare, round shoulder,his hair tied in a knot,a model of concentration. Sitting is more his speed, if that is the wordfor what he does, or does not do. Even the season is wrong for him.In all his manifestations, is it not warm and slightly humid?Is this not implied by his serene expression,that smile so wide it wraps itself around the waist of the universe? But here we are, working our way down the driveway,one shovelful at a time.We toss the light powder into the clear air.We feel the cold mist on our faces.And with every heave we disappearand become lost to each otherin these sudden clouds of our own making,these fountain-bursts of snow. This is so much better than a sermon in church,I say out loud, but Buddha keeps on shoveling.This is the true religion, the religion of snow,and sunlight and winter geese barking in the sky,I say, but he is too busy to hear me. He has thrown himself into shoveling snowas if it were the purpose of existence,as if the sign of a perfect life were a clear drivewayone you could back the car down easilyand drive off into the vanities of the worldwith a broken heater fan and a song on the radio. All morning long we work side by side,me with my commentaryand he inside the generous pocket of his silence,until the hour is nearly noonand the snow is piled high all around us;then, I hear him speak. After this, he asks,can we go inside and play cards? Certainly, I reply, and I will heat some milkand bring cups of hot chocolate to the tablewhile you shuffle the deck,and our boots stand dripping by the door. Aaah, says the Buddha, lifting his eyesand leaning for a moment on his shovelbefore he drives the thin blade againdeep into the glittering white snow."My New Year wish for you: As the old year folds onto itself and the new year dawns I wish for you that your everyday activities, even the very simple tasks, bring humor, contemplation, and a sense of magic in the ordinary. May you find your way on the path following a compass heading of True North. May the love you seek wend its way to you.

A talk by Thanissaro Bhikkhu entitled "True North"

Shaun Heinrichs, president and CEO of 1911 Gold (TSX-V: AUMB | OTCQX: AUMBF), spoke to Mining Stock Daily about the company's Manitoba mine operations.With a fully permitted 1,300 tpd processing plant and underground infrastructure boasting a replacement value of over $400 million, Shaun explained how 1911 Gold is bypassing the typical decade-long permitting cycle to fast-track production. Key topics discussed were the following:District-Scale Land Position: The company holds a dominant, consolidated land package (over 60,000 hectares) covering the Rice Lake Greenstone Belt, a world-class orogenic gold district.Significant Infrastructure in place: The asset includes a fully permitted and operational 1,300 tonnes-per-day (tpd) mill, tailings facility, and underground mine infrastructure, which significantly reduces timeline and capital requirements for production.High-grade exploration potential: There is compelling exploration upside with a focus on high-grade gold targets, including near-mine extensions and new belt-scale discoveries (e.g., the True North complex).Tier-1 mining jurisdiction: The project is located in Manitoba, Canada, a stable and mining-friendly jurisdiction with access to low-cost hydroelectric power and road access.Experienced Leadership Team: The company is led by a management team and board with a proven track record of discovering, developing, and operating mines.

In this week's Coffin Report, Patrick covers the following three stories:   Number One: Whom do you trust? The obvious candidates for government assets include: Tim Pool, Shawn Ryan, Nick Fuentes and Alex Jones. Patrick explains why each of these figures exhibit suspicious behavior as to their MO and general role in the selling of media narratives and agendae.   Second Two: Patrick's commentary on his attending, Healing the Whole Person with Dr Bob Schuchtz and his team—especially Sister Miriam James Heidland. So much of Catholic evangelization is overly philosophical and theological, and less personal and human. We can talk about psychological and emotional wounds if we really want to help people come all the way to Christ and His Church.

How did the dispensationalist heresy become so entrenched in the protestant world? JOIN my community at True North: www.patrickcoffin.media
