✅ TRUTH: Most of my clients eat bread DAILY and still lose weight.Let's get real for a second: Carbs have been unfairly demonized for YEARS. Somewhere along the line, people started believing that eating a slice of bread would magically stop fat loss in its tracks.

When it comes to estate planning, there are a lot of half-truths, outdated advice, and persistent myths that can leave your family vulnerable. Join Jeff as he clarifies common misconceptions about wills, probate, powers of attorney, and trusts. Estate planning is far from a one-size-fits-all exercise. Multiple tools are available, and to be most effective, they should be strategically customized to each family's needs.    WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW   (00:00) Episode introduction. (03:02) Myth #1 – A last will and testament is good enough. Truth – A will outlines what will happen to our assets that are in our name alone. This leaves a lot of issues unresolved.  (04:42) Myth #2 – Avoid probate using joint ownership and beneficiaries. Truth – When money is distributed outright to the joint owner(s) at the time of death, it creates a situation where (1) the money can be spent before creditors and tax collectors get their share, and (2) assets become susceptible to unintended claimants.  (10:44) Myth #3 – Revocable trusts should not be used. Truth – They ensure flexibility during life, give the grantor complete control, offer options for disability planning, and provide after-death asset protection.  (19:45) Myth #4 – A revocable living trust is all you need. Truth – In some instances, an irrevocable pure grantor trust is a better option. It can offer more robust tax handling, leaves the grantor in control, and provides a step up in basis for the beneficiary.   (22:52) Myth #5 – Trusts are one-size-fits-all. Truth – There are many tools available to estate planners; it's important to mix and match to develop a custom plan that is appropriate for each family.  (24:25) Myth #6 – A power of attorney (PoA) is good forever and any PoA is good enough. Truth – Most banks want these documents updated at least every two years. Also, to protect assets, a spouse or child must be specifically authorized in the PoA.   ABOUT BELLOMO & ASSOCIATES Jeffrey R.

Podcasting seems like a fun idea and what-the-heck, it'll be great for my business.  After speaking with hundreds of podcasters, I'm convinced that this exact thought is what lead them to start their podcast.  And I agree.  It is fun.  And it can be great for business.  The problem is that most podcasters stop thinking about their business as they double down on the fun (or frustration) of podcasting.  And then, they're 12 or 20 episodes in and realize it's taking up a whole lot of time and maybe money to create this podcast and it doesn't seem to be helping the business at all.  Huh! Here's the no B.S. Truth… Most podcasts are not aligned with their business and that is why their podcast - if it remains unchanged - will never be anything but a way to steal time and money from the business.  Good news! It can be the other way around. It can be a great way to grow your authority. To increase brand awareness. To deliver qualified leads. And, it can be a great way to bump up those sales.  But, your show has to be aligned to your business.  Not sure if I'm talking to you? Here are 5 sure signs that your business and podcast are NOT aligned.    Your Goals Have Never Met. You have goals for your business. You may have created goals for your podcast. Unfortunately, if your two sets of goals have never been introduced you could be in trouble. Aligned podcasts have goals that are part of your business goals. These podcast goals are directly related to what you are trying to accomplish with your business. You can clearly see how accomplishing your podcast goals directly contributes to reaching your business goals. So, if you don't have podcast goals or you've never integrated them into your business goals, there's a good chance your podcast and business are not aligned.  You're Measuring Distance with a Scale. What the heck am I talking about? You think I'm not making sense? Okay, let me break it down for you… if you measure your success in business by how many leads you get or what your revenue is, then you better have a KPI with your podcast that is related. Your business KPIs and your podcast KPIs have to be related. I can't tell you how many podcasters I talk to who can't tell me the relationship between their download numbers and their products sold. That's because you're trying to measure with the wrong tool! If your podcast and business don't share key performance indicators… you may be misaligned.  You're Fishing in Different Ponds. This one is easy and yet, I meet podcasters all the time who have never considered this. Your podcast listener should look like your ideal customer if you want a podcast and business that are aligned. In other words, your customer should be a listener if you want your listener to be a customer. This requires you to know who you're talking to in your podcast (and who your ideal customer is, too). All too often, podcasters are drawing in listeners who would never be customers and that means that they're fishing in the wrong pond.  Your Show Art and Your Corporate Logo Aren't Related. Your podcast show art doesn't have to look exactly like your corporate branding but they should feel like siblings, or cousins at least. What I mean is that if you have, for example, soft colors and serif fonts on your corporate or personal brand, then you don't want to go with bright, bold colors with san serif, all caps, extra bold on your podcast branding. You want them to feel like they belong at the same holiday dinner table. If my number #3 clue was ringing true; it might because your podcast branding and corporate branding are attracting different people. Put your two logos side by side… if they don't feel the same family, then take it as a sign that your podcast and business are not aligned.  Getting Invites to the Wrong Parties. One of the best things you can do to grow your podcast audience is to appear as a guest on other people's podcasts. But, if you're being invited and they don't want to talk about your business, or they tell you their audience isn't interested in that - then there is a good chance that you've been building your authority in the wrong space! Oh, and by the way, this is a you problem not a them problem. They're getting their cues from your show. So, if they'd love to have you on to talk Daddy-rights and they ‘we'll see if we have time' you on the Checklist for Pool Maintenance, you've probably got a business/podcast alignment issue.    I wanted to share some of these common signs I see when podcasters reach out to me for help with their podcast. These are just a few of the key clues that your podcast and business are not aligned. It's easy for these things to fall out of alignment or to never have been set for alignment from the start.  And, it can make continuing to create a podcast for your business very difficult. I've seen how stressful podcasting can become when you don't have any ROI. I've seen so many podcasters on the brink of quitting because they can't figure out how to get their podcast into alignment with their business so that it is the powerful marketing tool they hoped it would be.  This is exactly why I created the Podcast Tune-Up. It was to look at some of the key places that podcasts slip and stop performing. Or, in a lot of cases, never manage to perform at all. The Podcast Tune-Up is a quick 6-step process that you can go through on your own or with me to turn your podcast into an authority-building, leads-driving, sales generating machine.  Which is a whole lot better than it being that thing you dread doing but don't want to quit either.  Often, all it takes is a quick tune-up to turn your podcast from a time and money drain to a key piece of your sales and marketing system.  Want to get your podcast revving like a souped up hot-rod?

Today Shane Sams is going to knock down the biggest myths about memberships that hold people back from starting and growing their online businesses! Show Notes 7 Biggest Membership Myths: Memberships are difficult to set up. This is one of the most common things we hear and people come up with all these reasons why it would be complicated! Truth: It's actually 10x easier than setting up all these massive funnels, courses, stringing all your product offers together or buying 10 different software programs just to sell one video! (You can use flippedlifestyle.com/kajabi for a special price to our audience)!       2.  You have to have tons of content. You do NOT need a lot of content! Too often people associate this idea that courses and memberships are the same - they're not! In a course model, you are constantly having to record new videos and create new products when you run out of money and an audience. We actually have tons of friends and members that have content-free memberships! Truth: Most people don't care about the content, they care about you! Too much content can overwhelm people. There are ways to create evergreen content or you may never want to have any content at all - and that's okay! If you want to add content once a month or quarter you can do that too.       3.  Retention and service are really hard with a membership. Truth: Through automation, group coaching, and low amounts of content, you can handle a lot of your peoples' needs by pointing them to things you've already answered! Your community will keep people paying month after month and year after year!       4.  Memberships are high-energy. A lot of times we hear, “oh, you're going to be working 70 hours a week to keep your membership up.” That's not true. If you sell courses or one-on-one coaching. Truth: Memberships are low-energy and low impact. They actually only take a few hours a week to run!        5.  Nobody is going to pay me every month. “People in my niche don't have the money. Who's going to pay me $50/month or $100/month?” That is totally not true! Truth: Membership is everywhere and the entire world is trained to pay monthly! No matter what your niche people prefer monthly payments and low barriers to entry.     6.  Everybody that has a membership site is broke. “You can't possibly make as much money.” That launch that someone made $15,000 in a day to turn around and again because they're using the launch model and they took 90+ hours a week to achieve after multiple weeks - through memberships, you can make that much each and every month with little work! Truth: The membership model makes more money than any other model and uses less energy, time, and less risk!     7.  You have to open and close your membership to make any kind of scarcity. This is the biggest lie and holdover in online business. Truth: You want to create promotions and leave your membership open all year! You can open and close promotions. I hope this training helped you realize the truths and gets you ready to start, build, and grow your membership website!

What’s wrong with people? Has the savagery, selfishness, and raw, animal hatred within the human species finally come out of the darkness to devour our society?! Fanatics in MAGA caps rabidly cheering a tyrannical, lying, insane president. Gangs of “Proud Boys” strutting around in militia costumes beating protesters whose politics they dislike. Wackadoodle extremists who advocate violence by promoting the group hallucination that Nancy Pelosi is leading a fiendish Democratic cabal of child sex traffickers and cannibals. But is that really who we are? Given the media and political focus on all thing awful about people, you would think so. But consider a couple of little discussed TRUTHS about humanity – two maxims might help all of us get a grip, step back from hopelessness, and push ahead in our political work with a fresh perspective on what is possible. Warning: These truths are so contrary to present-day conventional thinking – and so at odds with our recent sojourn through the dark jungle of Trumplandia – that when some people are first exposed, their brains whiplash. So, brace yourself. Here goes: #1 Truth Most people are fundamentally fair minded, kind, and generous. #2 Truth The basic human instinct is not dog-eat-dog selfishness, but social cooperation and sharing. You might holler in disbelief: How can such happy “truths” jibe with the litany of horrors we are experiencing? Well, although there are obvious exceptions to the rule, decades of behavioral studies, recurring surveys, in-depth conversations, cultural histories, real-life experiences, and every other kind of group observation have by and large produced the same finding: The great majority of people are guided in their daily actions and relations by deep values of fairness and sharing. It turns out that humankind is, well, overwhelmingly kind. That’s the deep, promising virtue that we should highlight, making people’s innate desire for an equitable, cooperative society the basis for every one of our economic, political, and social policies.

Podcast: Finance & Fury Podcast (LS 44 · TOP 1% what is this?)Episode: The dark past of ‘environmentalism' provides clues to the point of the UN's Sustainable Development GoalsPub date: 2019-10-11Notes from Listening Post:ThoriumWelcome to Finance and Fury, The Furious Friday Edition.    The final episode in the mini-series for the SDGs - Covered a lot – today - Summary wrap up and piece together next step One sentence – UN's Agenda 2030 wants us giving up sovereignty to a global unelected socialist government – Went through the 3 Founders – Roosevelt praised fascism, thought it was the best kind of Gov and acted like it in USA, Stalin - loves him some communism and mass genocide, then Churchill – Not a fan of Indian's ‘beastly people' – 1943 Bengali Famine for 3m people starved to death thanks to his policies to take all the food out of the area This sort of thing can't happen today unless we want this – hard to hide true crimes like the past The founders of the UN weren't good leaders, they loved Authoritarian rule – Why would anyone want to live under a Nazi, Communist or Fascist? What if it is done in the name of climate change? That is the propaganda - SDG4 -method of building international socialism – the aim has always started by targeting the next generation - now with global-socialist propaganda All of SDG4 is devoted to ensuring that all children, everywhere, are transformed into what the UN calls “agents of change,” – pushing what the UN wants – Agenda 2030 agreement states the aim is to do this - “Children and young women and men are critical agents of change and will find in the new Goals a platform to channel their infinite capacities for activism into the creation of a better world,” – all the protests been concocted up as part of Agenda 2030 – through the UN 'Extinction Rebellion' protests – bringing cities to a standstill as protestors demand government officials take immediate action to combat climate change.  60 major cities across the world through late October – two days in a row – clients/staff late from protests These protestors have already taken over streets, blocked roadways, and disrupted public transportation in London, Sydney, Paris, and Berlin. Their message is that climate change is an emergency that requires drastic and immediate action Looking to force significant policy change is to shut down parts of major infrastructure, like roads, bridges, highways, rail, airports, and ports – basically acting like fascists or Stalin's useful idiots From what I see it is about crashing the global economy to install a new economic model - Modern Money Theory (MMT) Agenda 2030 is a pretty clear roadmap to global socialism and corporatism/fascism – using activists as the new Brown shirts And what's the reason behind climate change protestors shutting down cities and causing economic shocks across the world? U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon spoke of ‘a dream of a world of peace and dignity for all' this is no different than when the Communists promised the people a ‘worker's paradise.'” – to give them mass starvation and Gulag prison camps History is littered with examples - in a similar manner – Mussolini – Fascism: Doctrines and Institutions - 1923 “State intervention in economic production arises when private initiative is insufficient or when the interests of the state are involved. This intervention may take the form of control.” – Take control of the economy to serve the state, not the people Speech in 1933 – “Fascism establishes the real equality of individuals before the nations. The object of the regime in the economic field is to ensure higher social justice for the whole of the Italian people. What does social justice mean? It means work guaranteed, fair wages, decent homes, it means the possibility of continuous evolution and improvement.” – almost impossible to tell the people history calls evil to the rulers of the UN today Another example - Nazis – National Socialists – Hitler's party mandate: “We demand the nationalisation of all trusts and demand profit-sharing in large industries. The first duty of every citizen must be to work mentally or physically. No individual shall do any work that offends against the interest of the community to the benefit of all.” – UN has the circular economy to get to the same outcome – all what is in the state's interest Governments deciding what to be produced/consumed, what the price is and who is employed never ended well – but yet people are keen to repeat? The similarities between what the UN wants and what the Nazi's wanted keeps going on Nazis - First political party in the world to pass laws protecting the environment in 1935 two years after the Nazis rose to power - passed a Reich law for the protection of the natural environment scope was unprecedented at the time and while the stated goal was to protect and care for the environment – saving the planet not high on the list Think about Wars and the CO2 emissions form bombs – Obama dropped 26k bombs in 2016 alone – lots of environmental destruction and waste emission there – but meets with Greta for a photo op UN acts like fascists - That is why the 2030 Agenda is universal, applying to all countries and actors – Un states: “requires all nations to take climate action, reduce unemployment, strengthen gender equality and promote peaceful societies, to name a few, if the world is to eradicate poverty and shift into a more sustainable development” – Follows similar fascist policies of enforcement and punishment rather than incentives like a free market - Everything is an inversion – promote peaceful societies- carried out using violence/enforcement – make a tweet or FB post gets you arrested in the UK if it is offensive – Words have been equated to violence – so to keep a peaceful society nobody can do anything – let alone speak their mind – Irony here is that offence is taken, not given – but this is ignored to protect the faux offended – moral outrage parade Two-fold – Economics side of thing, and population control measure – Population is key for CO2 emissions - industrialising countries creates more CO2, create more people as well = more CO2 Agenda 2030 at the core – to reduce individuals' ability to create families and prosper – through economic and environmental control What is a clue that the UN doesn't want to solve climate change and instead grab control over your lives? The fact they wish to send billions off our shores to develop other countries – but in reality – goes to Green Climate fund which sends it off to HSBC and other banks to do who knows what with it – but if they actually develop these countries then more C02 will occur – but I think it will just be more lost money Truth - Most developed or rich nations have higher emissions – so by making us poor through extraction and laws that the developing nations don't have to follow - then lowers our consumptions and life quality Another clue is the immigration - wanting to increase immigration through the Global Migration Compact – NGOs Also - Increase in labour does drop wages – and wages aren't representing in the economy – transfer out is same as selling local currency – flooding and devaluing over time – equality – use the strong for the benefit of the weak, so everyone becomes the sum of all averages. All inversions - Another core feature of the SDGs is their focus on means of implementation, or the mobilization of financial resources, along with capacity building and technology. Mobilisation – Stalin was great at that SDG10 - which calls on the UN, national governments, and every person on Earth to “reduce inequality within and among countries.” agreement continues, will “only be possible if wealth is shared and income inequality is addressed.” Needs to be international socialism/communism – agreement states: national socialism to “combat inequality” domestically is not enough — international socialism is needed to battle inequality even “among” countries. “By 2030, ensure that all men and women, in particular the poor and the vulnerable, have equal rights to economic resources,” Wealth redistribution alone, however, will not be enough. Governments must also seize control of the means of production — either directly or through fascist-style mandates – Like Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, pick any dictator Agenda 2030 - “We commit to making fundamental changes in the way that our societies produce and consume goods and services,” and “governments, international organizations, the business sector and other non-state actors and individuals must contribute to changing unsustainable consumption and production patterns … to move towards more sustainable patterns of consumption and production.” Agenda 2030 document is claiming that today's “consumption and production” patterns are unsustainable, so we'll need to get by with less. How much less? 1992 Earth Summit - Maurice Strong – Oil Billionaire founder of UNEP - “It is clear that current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle-class … involving high meat intake, consumption of large amounts of frozen and ‘convenience' foods, ownership of motor vehicles, numerous electrical appliances, home and workplace air-conditioning ... expensive suburban housing … are not sustainable.” – Sustainable development goals aim to remove these things for sustainability = lower quality of life In truth, such “lifestyles and consumption patterns” aresustainable, so long as the freedom that makes prosperity possible is not destroyed in the name of achieving “sustainability.” The UN and the environmental lobby claim that we must get by with less because there are now too many people on the planet consuming too many resources. But this rationale for accepting UN-imposed scarcity is patently false Read just a bit of history and see this has been the same message for 200 years - All had same message back in the 1920s- running out of food when we hit 3bn people – the planet would be destroyed by the 70s, and so on What solved it? Free markets – but if markets aren't allowed to solve problems as they are closed from UN polices – these predictions may come true – so the only solution is less people Which is what this all boiled down to - populations level controls  Little unknown fact – the root of climate organisation was from individuals involved with eugenicists – mission success – population reduction is turning into the answer – not the first time it has happened – A history lesson time – British PM Margaret Thatcher - the first world leader to voice alarm over global warming in 1988 the same year, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) – mandate to only look for human-induced climate change launch of the IPCC was not driven by science, but by eugenics - the “race science” made infamous by Adolf Hitler Thatcher got her marching orders from Sir Crispin Tickell - cousin Sir Julian Huxley the President of the British Eugenics Society in 1959-62 – Brother Aldus wrote Brave New World – design for the UNs ideals of how to run society in class Eugenics society Renamed the Galton Institute in 1989 – after Francis Galton who founded eugenics - had to rebrand after a few decades of bad press – Hitler, 60k forced sterilisations in California, New solution - beyond direct - how else could you have control over populations – control the environment they live Ideal or bad climates/environments can increase or decrease population size of animals in zoos – are we different? Decrease fertility rates and population goes down, reduce access to water or food, or to change their environment to adapt Sir Julian Huxley co-founded the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) with Prince Philip and former Nazi SS officer Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands - Tickell and cousin Huxley are both direct descendants of Thomas Henry Huxley, a.k.a. “Darwin's Bulldog” for his aggressive advocacy of Charles Darwin – Galton's half cousin – No wonder Nazi's loved Galton - he proclaimed that “Jews are parasites”, that “the worth of an individual should be calculated at birth, by his class”, and that the “unfit” should simply be eliminated; he was knighted by King Edward VII in 1909 for founding eugenics as a new ruling British imperial doctrine No surprise that Queen Elizabeth II's father King George VI and his wife supported Hitler right up until WWII. support is evident in a 1933 film in which the seven-year-old current Queen is giving the “Heil Hitler” salute along with her uncle the Prince of Wales, the future King Edward VIII WWF founder Prince Philip has well-documented Nazi connections - his sister Sophie married a colonel in the SS on Himmler's personal staff Prince Philip has infamously desired to “return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation”. The UNEP was founded by oil and mineral businessman Maurice Strong in 1972 - An ardent population control advocate member of the Club of Rome – same place UN getting its recommendations till this day – back in the 70's and 80s when this was starting - a haven for eugenicists - Garrett Hardin who has argued for brutal population control policies, such as denying medical and nutritional assistance that would condemn millions to die of starvation and disease From the horses mouth - 1989 Thatcher's speech to the UN General Assembly - “Put in its bluntest form: the main threat to our environment is more and more people, and their activities…. Mr President, the environmental challenge which confronts the whole world demands an equivalent response from the whole world. Every country will be affected and no one can opt out.” - Eugenics and population control is the barely-hidden agenda as part of the UN – google it though and ‘conspiracy' Go further and learn about Margaret sanger – planned parenthood founder – big fan of eugenics – read some letters Think about the SDGs gone through so far – the only way to get environmental damage down to nothing is if humans don't exist – Under current technology – not possible to go 100% renewables like solar, wind - Possible to go nuclear or thorium Nature of the UN is totally undemocratic and it relies on our passive, ill-informed acceptance of ‘authorities' – what the founders wanted As this plan is covertly implemented by Governments on the behest of the UN - none of us had been informed about it or have voted for it in any way; it basically leads to the loss of personal freedom and sovereignty worldwide. Which is why I wanted to do this series – provide some clarity to the issue – that the people striking and disrupting are useful idiots - don't be afraid – just say no to being forced into this As a country, shouldn't we get a say on what laws should be adopted? Especially when it comes from other unelected international individuals who have been linked to ‘racial cleansing'? Doesn't it disqualify you to be a politician if you have duel citizenship? Cause you may act in the interest of the other country – how is that different from acting on behalf a foreign Governments?

The SECURE act has brought changes to how retirement accounts work, how they're taxed and inherited. Pre-taxed money goes into traditional IRAs. Contributions + earnings are all taxable upon withdrawal. With SECURE Act changes and tax rates only expected to rise in the future due to massive budget deficits, there's a big advantage to convert money over time from traditional to Roth IRAs. Once you pay the taxes at today's lower rates, that money becomes tax free for the rest of your life. Also, it's best for beneficiaries to inherit a Roth IRA vs. a traditional. If you have IRA money and can pay the tax, come up with a plan to steadily move the money over years. Exception: those who make more than $350k a year. Everyone else will see benefit from moving money to a Roth.  Business owners have the responsibility to treat employees well and let them know their voices are heard. Truth: Most employers aren't very good at truly appreciating the people who work for them. But valuing employees is key to success. You treat employees well, they in turn treat the customers well - everybody wins. Lip service doesn't count. Actions do. How do you let your workers know they're truly valued? Interests have to be aligned. Employees need to understand how they benefit from the success of the business. A paycheck isn't enough. Many workers now need to know that what they're doing benefits society. If you as a worker feel you're not valued and the workplace is unpleasant or the culture is corrosive, search the strong job market and find a place that really does value you.  Learn more about your ad choices.

As general rule, documentaries need to be fact checked. Unfortunately most have a biased agenda and the producers  will bend the facts or just lie in order to support their beliefs. This is the opposite of science. A good scientist states his/her beliefs and then conducts a rigorous investigation to prove it wrong. The good scientist then publishes the findings whether or not it supports his/her beliefs. This did not happen in "The Game Changers".  Here are some quick notes on the lies they use in "The Game Changers": 1. LIE: Gladiators were vegetarians and prized fighters with the best medical care. TRUTH: Gladiators treated like animals or slaves led to slaughter for entertaiment. They were fed a plant based diet similar to what they would feed their animals in order to fatten them up. The fat was intended to protect them from minor cuts and strikes. It was an insult back then to call someone "barley eater". Meat was cherished and considered a privilege. One of the physicians at the time, Aelius Galenus critized the diet and the training of the gladiators. He said it was not proficient.  2. LIE: Carbs are the main energy source and without them you will experience chronic fatigue. TRUTH: Carbs are only the main energy source during intense exercise. Even then the energy is split 50% from carbs and 50% from fat. It is extremely silly to claim carbs are the body's preferred energy source, especially with the Keto Diet being all the rage. More people, now more than ever, know once your body is fat adapted it runs efficiently with fat providing up to 95% of a person's energy. Your body can also convert fat into carbs. This means you do not need to eat carbs. 3. LIE: Meats cause vasoconstriction and endothelial inflammation. TRUTH: There are no peer reviewed studies that state this. In fact, the study they site in the film says in the title "Saturated Fatty Acids do not impair Endothelial Function". The study goes on to say no significant differences were shown between saturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids. 4. LIE: Humans do not have any specialized biological mechanisms to digest meat. TRUTH: Humans (omnivores) have more in common with carnivores than herbivores. Herbivores have an extremely long intestinal track, and some like cows, have multiple stomachs. In comparison humans have a much shorter intestinal track and one stomach. Herbivores have only flat teeth. Humans have sharp and flat teeth. Herbivores have a high ph level for digesting tough plants. Humans and carnivores both have a low ph level.  5. LIE: The antioxidants we need are found almost entirely in plants. TRUTH: Most antioxidants in plants have very low bio-availability. The most important antioxidant, glutathione, is made by the human body. It is really the only one we need, and is comprised of the amino acids glyciene, glutamine, and cysteine, which come from protein. I will stop there. The film is rife with inaccuracies, horrible anecdotal stories from athletes and celebrities, and lots of blatant lies.

Welcome to Finance and Fury, The Furious Friday Edition.    The final episode in the mini-series for the SDGs - Covered a lot – today - Summary wrap up and piece together next step One sentence – UN's Agenda 2030 wants us giving up sovereignty to a global unelected socialist government – Went through the 3 Founders – Roosevelt praised fascism, thought it was the best kind of Gov and acted like it in USA, Stalin - loves him some communism and mass genocide, then Churchill – Not a fan of Indian’s ‘beastly people’ – 1943 Bengali Famine for 3m people starved to death thanks to his policies to take all the food out of the area This sort of thing can’t happen today unless we want this – hard to hide true crimes like the past The founders of the UN weren’t good leaders, they loved Authoritarian rule – Why would anyone want to live under a Nazi, Communist or Fascist? What if it is done in the name of climate change? That is the propaganda - SDG4 -method of building international socialism – the aim has always started by targeting the next generation - now with global-socialist propaganda All of SDG4 is devoted to ensuring that all children, everywhere, are transformed into what the UN calls “agents of change,” – pushing what the UN wants – Agenda 2030 agreement states the aim is to do this - “Children and young women and men are critical agents of change and will find in the new Goals a platform to channel their infinite capacities for activism into the creation of a better world,” – all the protests been concocted up as part of Agenda 2030 – through the UN 'Extinction Rebellion' protests – bringing cities to a standstill as protestors demand government officials take immediate action to combat climate change.  60 major cities across the world through late October – two days in a row – clients/staff late from protests These protestors have already taken over streets, blocked roadways, and disrupted public transportation in London, Sydney, Paris, and Berlin. Their message is that climate change is an emergency that requires drastic and immediate action Looking to force significant policy change is to shut down parts of major infrastructure, like roads, bridges, highways, rail, airports, and ports – basically acting like fascists or Stalin’s useful idiots From what I see it is about crashing the global economy to install a new economic model - Modern Money Theory (MMT) Agenda 2030 is a pretty clear roadmap to global socialism and corporatism/fascism – using activists as the new Brown shirts And what's the reason behind climate change protestors shutting down cities and causing economic shocks across the world? U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon spoke of ‘a dream of a world of peace and dignity for all’ this is no different than when the Communists promised the people a ‘worker’s paradise.’” – to give them mass starvation and Gulag prison camps History is littered with examples - in a similar manner – Mussolini – Fascism: Doctrines and Institutions - 1923 “State intervention in economic production arises when private initiative is insufficient or when the interests of the state are involved. This intervention may take the form of control.” – Take control of the economy to serve the state, not the people Speech in 1933 – “Fascism establishes the real equality of individuals before the nations. The object of the regime in the economic field is to ensure higher social justice for the whole of the Italian people. What does social justice mean? It means work guaranteed, fair wages, decent homes, it means the possibility of continuous evolution and improvement.” – almost impossible to tell the people history calls evil to the rulers of the UN today Another example - Nazis – National Socialists – Hitler’s party mandate: “We demand the nationalisation of all trusts and demand profit-sharing in large industries. The first duty of every citizen must be to work mentally or physically. No individual shall do any work that offends against the interest of the community to the benefit of all.” – UN has the circular economy to get to the same outcome – all what is in the state's interest Governments deciding what to be produced/consumed, what the price is and who is employed never ended well – but yet people are keen to repeat? The similarities between what the UN wants and what the Nazi’s wanted keeps going on Nazis - First political party in the world to pass laws protecting the environment in 1935 two years after the Nazis rose to power - passed a Reich law for the protection of the natural environment scope was unprecedented at the time and while the stated goal was to protect and care for the environment – saving the planet not high on the list Think about Wars and the CO2 emissions form bombs – Obama dropped 26k bombs in 2016 alone – lots of environmental destruction and waste emission there – but meets with Greta for a photo op UN acts like fascists - That is why the 2030 Agenda is universal, applying to all countries and actors – Un states: “requires all nations to take climate action, reduce unemployment, strengthen gender equality and promote peaceful societies, to name a few, if the world is to eradicate poverty and shift into a more sustainable development” – Follows similar fascist policies of enforcement and punishment rather than incentives like a free market - Everything is an inversion – promote peaceful societies- carried out using violence/enforcement – make a tweet or FB post gets you arrested in the UK if it is offensive – Words have been equated to violence – so to keep a peaceful society nobody can do anything – let alone speak their mind – Irony here is that offence is taken, not given – but this is ignored to protect the faux offended – moral outrage parade Two-fold – Economics side of thing, and population control measure – Population is key for CO2 emissions - industrialising countries creates more CO2, create more people as well = more CO2 Agenda 2030 at the core – to reduce individuals’ ability to create families and prosper – through economic and environmental control What is a clue that the UN doesn’t want to solve climate change and instead grab control over your lives? The fact they wish to send billions off our shores to develop other countries – but in reality – goes to Green Climate fund which sends it off to HSBC and other banks to do who knows what with it – but if they actually develop these countries then more C02 will occur – but I think it will just be more lost money Truth - Most developed or rich nations have higher emissions – so by making us poor through extraction and laws that the developing nations don’t have to follow - then lowers our consumptions and life quality Another clue is the immigration - wanting to increase immigration through the Global Migration Compact – NGOs Also - Increase in labour does drop wages – and wages aren’t representing in the economy – transfer out is same as selling local currency – flooding and devaluing over time – equality – use the strong for the benefit of the weak, so everyone becomes the sum of all averages. All inversions - Another core feature of the SDGs is their focus on means of implementation, or the mobilization of financial resources, along with capacity building and technology. Mobilisation – Stalin was great at that SDG10 - which calls on the UN, national governments, and every person on Earth to “reduce inequality within and among countries.” agreement continues, will “only be possible if wealth is shared and income inequality is addressed.” Needs to be international socialism/communism – agreement states: national socialism to “combat inequality” domestically is not enough — international socialism is needed to battle inequality even “among” countries. “By 2030, ensure that all men and women, in particular the poor and the vulnerable, have equal rights to economic resources,” Wealth redistribution alone, however, will not be enough. Governments must also seize control of the means of production — either directly or through fascist-style mandates – Like Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, pick any dictator Agenda 2030 - “We commit to making fundamental changes in the way that our societies produce and consume goods and services,” and “governments, international organizations, the business sector and other non-state actors and individuals must contribute to changing unsustainable consumption and production patterns … to move towards more sustainable patterns of consumption and production.” Agenda 2030 document is claiming that today’s “consumption and production” patterns are unsustainable, so we’ll need to get by with less. How much less? 1992 Earth Summit - Maurice Strong – Oil Billionaire founder of UNEP - “It is clear that current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle-class … involving high meat intake, consumption of large amounts of frozen and ‘convenience’ foods, ownership of motor vehicles, numerous electrical appliances, home and workplace air-conditioning ... expensive suburban housing … are not sustainable.” – Sustainable development goals aim to remove these things for sustainability = lower quality of life In truth, such “lifestyles and consumption patterns” aresustainable, so long as the freedom that makes prosperity possible is not destroyed in the name of achieving “sustainability.” The UN and the environmental lobby claim that we must get by with less because there are now too many people on the planet consuming too many resources. But this rationale for accepting UN-imposed scarcity is patently false Read just a bit of history and see this has been the same message for 200 years - All had same message back in the 1920s- running out of food when we hit 3bn people – the planet would be destroyed by the 70s, and so on What solved it? Free markets – but if markets aren’t allowed to solve problems as they are closed from UN polices – these predictions may come true – so the only solution is less people Which is what this all boiled down to - populations level controls  Little unknown fact – the root of climate organisation was from individuals involved with eugenicists – mission success – population reduction is turning into the answer – not the first time it has happened – A history lesson time – British PM Margaret Thatcher - the first world leader to voice alarm over global warming in 1988 the same year, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) – mandate to only look for human-induced climate change launch of the IPCC was not driven by science, but by eugenics - the “race science” made infamous by Adolf Hitler Thatcher got her marching orders from Sir Crispin Tickell - cousin Sir Julian Huxley the President of the British Eugenics Society in 1959-62 – Brother Aldus wrote Brave New World – design for the UNs ideals of how to run society in class Eugenics society Renamed the Galton Institute in 1989 – after Francis Galton who founded eugenics - had to rebrand after a few decades of bad press – Hitler, 60k forced sterilisations in California, New solution - beyond direct - how else could you have control over populations – control the environment they live Ideal or bad climates/environments can increase or decrease population size of animals in zoos – are we different? Decrease fertility rates and population goes down, reduce access to water or food, or to change their environment to adapt Sir Julian Huxley co-founded the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) with Prince Philip and former Nazi SS officer Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands - Tickell and cousin Huxley are both direct descendants of Thomas Henry Huxley, a.k.a. “Darwin’s Bulldog” for his aggressive advocacy of Charles Darwin – Galton’s half cousin – No wonder Nazi’s loved Galton - he proclaimed that “Jews are parasites”, that “the worth of an individual should be calculated at birth, by his class”, and that the “unfit” should simply be eliminated; he was knighted by King Edward VII in 1909 for founding eugenics as a new ruling British imperial doctrine No surprise that Queen Elizabeth II’s father King George VI and his wife supported Hitler right up until WWII. support is evident in a 1933 film in which the seven-year-old current Queen is giving the “Heil Hitler” salute along with her uncle the Prince of Wales, the future King Edward VIII WWF founder Prince Philip has well-documented Nazi connections - his sister Sophie married a colonel in the SS on Himmler’s personal staff Prince Philip has infamously desired to “return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation”. The UNEP was founded by oil and mineral businessman Maurice Strong in 1972 - An ardent population control advocate member of the Club of Rome – same place UN getting its recommendations till this day – back in the 70’s and 80s when this was starting - a haven for eugenicists - Garrett Hardin who has argued for brutal population control policies, such as denying medical and nutritional assistance that would condemn millions to die of starvation and disease From the horses mouth - 1989 Thatcher’s speech to the UN General Assembly - “Put in its bluntest form: the main threat to our environment is more and more people, and their activities…. Mr President, the environmental challenge which confronts the whole world demands an equivalent response from the whole world. Every country will be affected and no one can opt out.” - Eugenics and population control is the barely-hidden agenda as part of the UN – google it though and ‘conspiracy’ Go further and learn about Margaret sanger – planned parenthood founder – big fan of eugenics – read some letters Think about the SDGs gone through so far – the only way to get environmental damage down to nothing is if humans don’t exist – Under current technology – not possible to go 100% renewables like solar, wind - Possible to go nuclear or thorium Nature of the UN is totally undemocratic and it relies on our passive, ill-informed acceptance of ‘authorities’ – what the founders wanted As this plan is covertly implemented by Governments on the behest of the UN - none of us had been informed about it or have voted for it in any way; it basically leads to the loss of personal freedom and sovereignty worldwide. Which is why I wanted to do this series – provide some clarity to the issue – that the people striking and disrupting are useful idiots - don’t be afraid – just say no to being forced into this As a country, shouldn’t we get a say on what laws should be adopted? Especially when it comes from other unelected international individuals who have been linked to ‘racial cleansing’? Doesn’t it disqualify you to be a politician if you have duel citizenship? Cause you may act in the interest of the other country – how is that different from acting on behalf a foreign Governments? The aim of being sustainable is to collapse the economy – usher in UBI and other forms of population control Control the environment – control the finances (incomes with UBI), control the lifestyles, control the living situations In the end – don’t fall for the UN’s promises of absolution of guilt and solving the climate changing When they can change the Spring turning to summer, I may listen – but to give over everything to a group individuals who meet in secret, all have 4 houses, take private jets everywhere and tell us we are the problem - no thank you   To close – If you are worried about the climate changing due to human activity – then do what you can control – change your behaviours – but don’t ask for global socialism and repeating the horrors of history – but on a global scale –   Thanks for listening, if you want to get in contact you can here https://financeandfury.com.au/contact/    

Food company CEO Scott Nash spent a year eating food past its expiration date, tortillas a year past, yogurt months past and heavy cream 2.5 months past its expiration date. Truth: Most expirations dates on medicine and food don't mean ingestion will be dangerous past that date. Meds can be fine years out of date, perhaps less effective but most are not harmful. Expirations dates should be honored on certain foods, including deli meats, unpasteurized cheeses & milk. And tossing picnic foods that have been unrefrigerated too long is still the best advice. Implementing a voluntary system, 2 years ago the food industry came up with a compromise of 2 labels: Best if Used By and Use By - to reduce confusion. Nearly 90% of us toss expired foods. But that's not necessary with most food items. Scott Nash was just fine! Christa reads listener posts about how Clark has missed the mark in his advice this week.

You've Been Lied To Again! Whoever said showing up is half the battle is full of shit. The team that shows up but doesn’t perform still gets beat. If you truly deserve all the things you’re daydreaming about you better stop wandering through life haphazardly. You better get serious about your success and your efforts. "You Can't Expect Extraordinary Results From Average Effort" Start living passionately and purposefully. You deserve the best, but you’re gonna have to give your best to get it. This will all lead me to discuss STANDARDS and how they dictate your success in life. Your standards are your benchmarks for performance in all areas of your life. High standards equal high rates of return. Low standards equal a minimal existence and the acceptance of the average. Today we will discuss and by discuss I mean I'm going to rant about WHY you should never lower your standards if you seak an amazing life. Truth: Most people lower their standards to match or meet their efforts. And this is why "most people" don't have the life they desire. Elevate your efforts to the level of your standards, and you'll achieve all the things you wish for in your life. Reminder: In life, we only get what we are willing to tolerate.

Episode highlights: Why it is important to re-humanize your hiring process Changing the mindset by shifting the language The formula for a successful shift Problem: Why is this important? Because we focus upon skill development to get into the roles we aspire to, we buy into the notion that work and life are separate. But the reality is that we are only one person, one being.   Through this buy-in to self-abnegation, we leave ourselves out of the workplace and all but guarantee to burn out and disillusionment. When we approach interviewing that way, we’re bound to forget that the person across from us is first and foremost a human being. Impostor syndrome of the interviewers (hiring managers!) IS-is there a place for me here? Everyone feels a little like a fake/fraud. Myth: This person is only as good as their resume. Truth: Most of the best people, have the worst resumes Mindset Creating a corporate culture happens one conversation at a time. Talking about what you are passionate about, what matters to you. Work is home It is a demand market. * we forget we are hiring a human being… not filling a seat. Bring an entire life into the company Rick’s Thoughts Stay away from “stinkin thinkin”  - Transactional thought Judging people based on a piece of paper Restructuring the recruiting department to touch those who apply Solutions: By shifting the language we begin to shift the mindset. Changing the language - humanize What does it mean to be human at your company? Don’t talk headcount, filling a seat life count, heart count. Talk about finding the “right new colleague” Not filling a seat or role, rounding out our community Shift to human terms The breadth and depth of this person.   Talk about the eulogy and not the resume Think of everyone in terms of a peer Values - The framework is in the questions, not the answers If the adage is that people leave managers, not companies, they probably refuse offers from managers as well. Foster a culture that supports the value for success. Are they Google-ly?  And what happens when being googly becomes a weakness? Homogeneity can be a downfall. Rick's Plan Cut out words like “candidate”, Job Description, industry terms Key Take Away: Tune into your own Humanity Humanize the language Slow down the interview process to give more room & space

We’re excited to be talking about how we make decisions in our marriage! There is a spectrum of decisions to make—everything from who is getting the groceries, to whether or not to make a cross-country move. The Tension: Decisions are tough for many couples Some decisions are really big ones and a lot hangs in the balance. Some decisions matter more to one spouse than the other. There’s the question of how should a decision should be made—how quickly do we make the decision, whose advice do we take, etc.? Sometimes you simply disagree about what decision should be made. The common denominator is that, in the middle of these decisions, someone doesn’t feel loved and someone doesn’t feel respected. Which can often happen when we don’t feel heard or understood and take it personally. Truth: Most decisions aren’t life and death, but they do bring life or death to our relationship At the end of the day, ask yourself, “does my spouse feel heard?” Proverbs 18:1-2 says “Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment. A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.” This all takes a level of awareness and humility to approach your spouses in a way that helps them. Do they just need to talk it out? Do they need help solving a problem? Your one simple thing for this week: Use a scale to help understand how important a decision is to your spouse. On a scale of 1-10 do you: Hate it or love it? Don’t care or really care?  Show Closing We have a favor to ask of you—the same favor every podcast asks of you. Leave us a five-star review on iTunes.
