1962 GALAZY MAGAZINECONTENTS THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 10-1-2026Reforming Globalization to Avoid ConflictJake Werner of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, writing in The Nation, discusses US-China trade relations following Xi Jinping's Washington visit. Werner traces how 1990s free-market globalization through the WTO, IMF, and World Bank enriched multinational corporations while exploiting developing nations. However, China leveraged its strong state and market scale to demand technology transfers and intellectual property sharing. Rising American grievances over IP theft, paired with Chinese fears of the middle-income trap, created mutual resentment. Werner advocates reforming the global economy by raising wages, providing public goods, absorbing overcapacity, and engaging China as an equal peer. (1)Demographic Shifts Reshaping American OpportunityJoel Kotkin, writing in UnHerd, details demographic migration patterns transforming the United States. Businesses, media production, and high-tech industries—like semiconductors and data centers—are departing traditional urban hubs like New York and Los Angeles for Sunbelt and "hillbilly" states, including Tennessee, Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas. Facilitated by remote technology, lower costs, and affordable land, these regions are cultivating elite universities and tech corridors. Conversely, coastal urban cores suffer from ideological dysfunction, homelessness, and high living costs, driving families and professionals to seek safety, space, and economic opportunity in expanding exurbs. (2)Navigating North American Trade PressuresMary Anastasia O'Grady of The Wall Street Journal examines trade dynamics under the USMCA. O'Grady clarifies that the US refusal to sign a 16-year extension in 2026 initiated a 10-year review clock rather than immediate dissolution of the pact. She outlines the Section 232 national security tariffs imposed by the US—50% on steel, aluminum, and manufactured derivatives, alongside 25% on finished automobiles—which dismantle traditional zero-tariff trade. US steel producers urge Mexico to erect high external tariffs on Asian metal imports, creating a regional customs union. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum negotiates obligingly to avoid a damaging trade dispute. (3)Confronting Escalating Federal Debt RiskVeronique de Rugy of the Mercatus Center addresses rising United States national debt and global bond market volatility. De Rugy refutes assertions that high debt-to-GDP ratios carry no consequences, highlighting recent severe inflation and weak Treasury bond auctions that forced shorter maturities. With 10-year interest rates exceeding 5%, investors signal diminishing confidence that future debt will be repaid in uninflated currency. She emphasizes that Social Security and Medicare trust fund exhaustion around 2032 threatens massive automatic benefit cuts or trillions in new borrowing. De Rugy warns that failing to reform entitlement drivers risks triggering severe economic instability.

(4)Operating SpaceX Starship Flight ProgramEric Berger, author of Liftoff: Elon Musk and the Desperate Early Days That Launched SpaceX and Re-entry: SpaceX, Elon Musk, and the Reusable Rockets That Launched a Second Space Age, co-host David Livingston: The Ars Technicawriter discusses SpaceX's Starship Mission 14 orbital test. Berger details successful orbital payload deployment of next-generation Starlink satellites while highlighting Raptor 3 engine reliability and re-entry heat shield tiles as ongoing engineering priorities. Crucially, Berger reveals SpaceX plans to retire Crew Dragon, Falcon 9, and Falcon Heavy by 2030 to concentrate resources entirely on Starship development. This strategic pivot leaves NASA and commercial space station developers facing potential human transportation supply gaps, forcing reliance on Boeing's Starliner, Blue Origin, or European partners amid growing commercial space competition from China. (5)Uncovering Slavery at Tower HillAlan Taylor, author of Tower Hill: A Plantation on the Edge of Rebellion: The two-time Pulitzer Prize winner examines Virginia's Blow family—Samuel, Richard, and George—across the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Samuel built wealth dispossessing indigenous land; Richard amassed a fortune through wartime smuggling at South Quay, international commerce, and transatlantic slaving. George managed Tower Hill plantation, continuously debating his father over severe soil exhaustion, overcropping, and scientific agricultural methods. Taylor exposes the pervasive physical violence sustaining slavery, the self-pitying illusions of planters, and debt-fueled financial practices underlying the economic facade of elite Virginia gentility. (6)Evaluating Latin American Geopolitical SecurityEvan Ellis of the US Army War College, writing in Infobae, examines Latin American geopolitics, security, and technology. Ellis analyzes the Brazilian presidential election between Lula da Silva and Flavio Bolsonaro amid intelligence reports of foreign interference. Turning to Mexico, he evaluates President Claudia Sheinbaum's cartel security operations, extradition decisions, USMCA stance, and 50% tariffs on Chinese goods. Ellis discusses his Infobaepaper on artificial intelligence and robotics, detailing $84 billion in Mexican data center projections, severe power grid constraints, and cartels deploying drone swarms. Finally, he addresses Cuba's complete economic collapse and mounting international pressure. (7)

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Michael Woodward. Interview Overview Guest: Michael WoodwardHost: Rushion McDonaldShow: Money Making Conversations MasterclassFocus: Entrepreneurship, real estate, education, overcoming poverty, and building generational wealthCompany Featured: Woodward Property Group Michael Woodward shares his journey from growing up in low‑income neighborhoods in Miami to becoming a successful real estate investor, contractor, and property management entrepreneur based in Atlanta. The conversation blends personal history, mindset lessons, and practical business guidance, especially for listeners from underserved communities. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of the interview is to: Demystify success for everyday people by showing how discipline, education, and calculated risk can lead to financial freedom Inspire listeners to move beyond circumstances of poverty or limitation Teach practical strategies around education choices, real estate investing, side hustles, credit management, and seizing opportunity Highlight community impact, mentorship, and “reaching back” to help others Rushion McDonald consistently frames the discussion around helping the audience “stop reading other people’s success stories and start planning your own." Key Themes & Takeaways 1. Poverty Is Relative — and Often Invisible Woodward explains that many people grow up in poverty without realizing it because everyone around them shares the same conditions. He distinguishes between government definitions of poverty and lived experience. Takeaway: Awareness is the first step to change; normal does not always mean acceptable. 2. Early Business Lessons Came from the Community Woodward credits his grandmother—who ran an informal candy business in the housing projects—as his first exposure to entrepreneurship. Watching her manage inventory, customers, and cash taught him foundational business principles. Takeaway: Entrepreneurship often begins long before formal education—especially in underserved communities. 3. Education as a Strategic Tool, Not Just a Degree Initially planning to become a lawyer, Woodward changed direction after realizing law school would not provide the financial or social return he hoped for unless he reached elite status. A mentor guided him toward education as a pathway for impact. He strongly recommends the Occupational Outlook Handbook as a practical guide for choosing careers based on income, longevity, and demand. Takeaway: Choose education intentionally—based on outcomes, not prestige. 4. Service Before Profit: Two Decades in Education Woodward spent over 20 years as a teacher and assistant principal, mentoring students, organizing college tours, and running summer STEM programs—often during his breaks. Takeaway: Long‑term service builds perspective, discipline, and purpose that later pays dividends in business. 5. Turning a Side Hustle into Financial Freedom While working in education, Woodward renovated homes at night and on weekends. Over time, rental income exceeded his school salary, allowing him to retire from education and focus on real estate full‑time. Takeaway: Side hustles can become exit strategies when managed consistently and patiently. 6. Opportunity Comes from Relationships A chance relationship with a Lowe’s executive changed Woodward’s business trajectory. When asked if he could do high‑end kitchens, he said yes—then partnered with the right experts to deliver. This led to contracts in seven Lowe’s stores across metro Atlanta. Takeaway: You don’t have to know everything—just know who to call. 7. High‑End Thinking Changes Income Ceilings Woodward explains the difference between standard and high‑end construction, describing six‑figure kitchens and appliances that cost more than many homes. Takeaway: Understanding premium markets unlocks entirely different financial opportunities. 8. Two Core Business Rules: Persistence and Credit When asked what advice he gives most often, Woodward gives two principles: Never give up Protect your credit He shares how poor credit once forced him to reinvest profits just to buy tools, slowing growth. Managing credit later removed those barriers. Takeaway: Credit is leverage. Without it, growth is harder and more expensive. Notable Quotes On poverty: “A lot of people living in poverty don’t know that they’re impoverished because everybody around them looks just like them.” On education choices: “I wanted to make a difference… and education allowed me to do that.” On opportunity and courage: “You don’t have to know everything. Just get the people in your corner that do.” On advice to entrepreneurs: “Never give up. And protect your credit. Credit is everything.” On consistency: “My phone number has been the same for 23 years. I ain’t going nowhere. Overall Impact The interview positions Michael Woodward as a practical role model—someone who combines humility, preparation, faith, and execution. Rather than promoting quick wins, the conversation emphasizes long‑term discipline, community uplift, and strategic decision‑making. Core message: Sustainable success is built step‑by‑step—through education, relationships, credit discipline, and the courage to say yes before you feel ready. #SHMS #BEST #STRAW Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

We are excited to share this Special Edition featuring Julie Kozeracki, Acting Chief Investment Officer for the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Dominance Financing (EDF), for a wide-ranging look at the effort to accelerate nuclear power deployment in the U.S. Julie previously served as a Senior Advisor to the office under the Biden Administration and as a Principal with Boston Consulting Group. EDF has over $250 billion in loan authority available to help deploy high-impact energy infrastructure projects. We were thrilled to hear Julie's latest insights on EDF's activities, recent announcements, and the opportunities and challenges ahead for nuclear development in the U.S. In our conversation, we discuss the renewed push to accelerate nuclear power in the U.S. and the increasingly important role of EDF. Julie shares her perspective on nuclear's bipartisan appeal and its ability to support affordability, reliability, energy security, and lower emissions. We explore how EDF's approach has evolved, including its expanded financing authorities and increased focus on nuclear, as well as the Administration's goals of having 10 large reactors with complete designs under construction by 2030 and adding 5 GW of uprates to the existing nuclear fleet. We examine the economics and financing of new nuclear, including EDF's $17.5 billion program to procure long-lead items for 10 AP1000 reactors and the benefits of standardization, supply-chain investment, and accelerating project timelines. Julie discusses growing interest from utilities and independent power producers, lessons learned from Vogtle Units 3 and 4, and why she believes the risk profile for future AP1000 projects is fundamentally different. We also explore how investors and equity analysts view new nuclear projects and how federal financing, investment tax credits, improved risk sharing, and hyperscaler power purchase agreements could help address concerns around cost and risk. Julie shares her perspective on the different approaches of regulated utilities and IPPs, the potential for build-own-transfer structures, and how growing power demand from AI and data centers could create new opportunities for nuclear development. We discuss the significant near-term opportunity to increase generation from the existing nuclear fleet through power uprates and life extensions, including the potential to extend reactors from 60 to 80 years of operation and potentially longer. More broadly, Julie discusses the importance of baseload and dispatchable generation as electricity demand grows, changing attitudes toward nuclear at the federal, state, and local levels, and the role of existing nuclear sites in supporting future development. We close by discussing what will be required to execute at scale, including strengthening the domestic nuclear supply chain, investing in advanced manufacturing and technologies, and developing the skilled workforce of welders, pipefitters, electricians, and other trades needed to support a new generation of nuclear projects. It was a fascinating discussion and we look forward to staying in touch with Julie. To start the show, Mike Bradley highlighted that markets remain focused on interest rates and inflation. Wednesday's PCE inflation report came in below expectations, with headline PCE at ~3.4% and core PCE at ~3.0%, helping push interest rates modestly lower and equity markets higher. Mike noted that while another Fed rate hike this year may still be on the table, the softer reading could reduce expectations for further increases. Turning to oil markets, Mike noted that oil prices have declined ~$8–$10/bbl over the past two weeks as crude flows through the Strait of Hormuz have increased and Saudi Arabia's East-West Pipeline has resumed operations at ~3–4mmbpd. He also discussed the potential for a U.S. diesel export ban and highlighted lower diesel prices as an important factor in easing inflation concerns and improving broader economic sentiment. Veriten Managing Director Nick Morriss also joined the discussion and peppered in his nuclear and power questions and perspectives.

1900 MEXICO CITY PRINT SHOPEvaluating Latin American Geopolitical SecurityEvan Ellis of the US Army War College, writing in Infobae, examines Latin American geopolitics, security, and technology. Ellis analyzes the Brazilian presidential election between Lula da Silva and Flavio Bolsonaro amid intelligence reports of foreign interference. Turning to Mexico, he evaluates President Claudia Sheinbaum's cartel security operations, extradition decisions, USMCA stance, and 50% tariffs on Chinese goods. Ellis discusses his Infobaepaper on artificial intelligence and robotics, detailing $84 billion in Mexican data center projections, severe power grid constraints, and cartels deploying drone swarms. Finally, he addresses Cuba's complete economic collapse and mounting international pressure. (7)

1767 ARABIACONTENTS-THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 9-30-2026Oil Prices Defy Market ReportsMichael Bernstam examines a major disconnect between oil reporting and market conditions, where crude oil benchmark prices remain extremely high at $103.50 per barrel despite reports that most Middle Eastern oil is back on the market. Up to 17.1 million barrels per day are moving via alternative routes, such as the Omani route and Saudipipelines, protected by the U.S. Navy. Meanwhile, global oil reserves were depleted by 57 million barrels, and China has resumed imports to refill its reserves. Furthermore, European countries like Germany are seeking energy partnerships with Kazakhstan to bypass Russian political and economic dependence. (1)Hijack Attempt Aboard FlyDubai FlightBill Roggio analyzes an incident aboard a FlyDubai flight bound for Tel Aviv where a co-pilot attempted to crash the airplane after stabbing the pilot, but was subdued by courageous passengers and crew. Roggio critiques the label "lone wolf," noting that it often dangerously disassociates attackers from broader terrorist networks, much like historic cases linked to radical planners. The discussion highlights strict security protocols for Israeli flights and raises serious questions about how a weapon was smuggled past screening. Separately, British authorities arrested individuals connected to state-sponsored Iranian threats, illustrating persistent global security risks amid early reporting uncertainties. (2)Aging Triad Demands Urgent ModernizationPeter Huessy reflects on Cold War civil defense drills and stresses the urgent necessity of modernizing America's aging nuclear triad. The U.S. military currently operates 42-year-old submarines, 55-year-old Minuteman III ICBMs, and 70-year-old B-52 bombers that risk rusting into obsolescence without modernization. Huessy details historical arms control pacts, noting how exiting the 1972 ABM Treaty allowed the U.S. to build defensive interceptor systems against emerging missile threats from states like North Korea. Facing nuclear build-ups and aggressive posturing from Russia, China, and North Korea, the U.S. relies on extended nuclear deterrence and allied cooperation to maintain strategic stability. (3)Beijing Blocks Second Thomas ResupplyCaptain James Fanell, co-host Gordon Chang: Fanell discusses aggressive Chinese maritime tactics in the South China Sea, where a coordinated force of three PLA Navy warships and eleven Coast Guard and maritime militia vessels blocked two small Philippine Coast Guard vessels resupplying the grounded outpost Sierra Madre. This blockade broke a series of fifteen successful resupply missions conducted since July 2024, demonstrating Beijing's willingness to violate international agreements and its own signed code of conduct. Fanell notes that internal purges of over one hundred senior military officers in Beijing have not disrupted the execution of these coordinated bullying operations against neighboring sovereign nations. (4)US Navy Protects Hormuz TransitRebecca Grant, co-host Gordon Chang: Grant refutes Iranian propaganda claiming disruption of U.S. Fifth Fleetoperations near the Strait of Hormuz. Grant explains that Iran lacks precise real-time tracking capabilities to target agile, fast-moving American destroyers and aircraft carriers operating in deep zone defense formations. Even if foreign satellites provide imagery, targeting data quickly becomes stale and ineffective. Under U.S. Navy protection, between 10 and 20 million barrels of oil per day continue to transit safely out of the Gulf. This maintains an effective economic blockade on Iranian exports while keeping vital global shipping lanes secure. (5)Trump Meets Xi In WashingtonCharles Burton, co-host Gordon Chang: Burton evaluates the summit between U.S. and Chinese leaders in Washington, describing it as a diplomatic spectacle that delivered virtually no substantive policy agreements. Critical issues like artificial intelligence safeguards, Taiwan's sovereignty, and trade imbalances were completely omitted, handing Beijing a domestic propaganda victory. Burton also examines Canadian political dynamics under Mark Carney, where public sentiment has grown increasingly nationalistic and supportive of trade diversification toward Europe and India. This shift comes in response to economic pressure, U.S. tariffs, and covert intimidation operations conducted by Chinese state agents on Canadian soil. (6)Greenland Defense Strategy Secures NorthBradley Bowman highlights Greenland's vital geographic role in North American defense, dominating the GIUK gapand providing early warning detection against Russian and Chinese missile threats. While recent defense agreements properly expand radar facilities and military infrastructure, Bowman argues that coercive political tactics unnecessarily strained relations with Denmark, a steadfast NATO ally. Effective Arctic defense requires the three-D kill chain: detect, decide, and deliver. Because the U.S. lacks sufficient icebreakers and polar infrastructure, deep defense cooperation with Arctic allies like Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Canada remains indispensable for hemispheric security. (7)Private Enterprise Advances Space ExplorationBob Zimmerman highlights major developments in commercial space flight and astronomy. SpaceX achieved orbit on its 14th Starship test flight, deploying 26 Starlink version 3 satellites before completing soft vertical ocean splashdowns. Boeing and NASA agreed on an unmanned cargo mission to test fixes for Starliner thruster and corrosion issues. Meanwhile, Blue Origin raised $10 billion to advance New Glenn development under CEO David Limp. NASA's Perseverance rover resumed updates after surveying Jezero Crater for drilling. Finally, the James Webb Space Telescope detected heavy elements in early galaxies, challenging current cosmological models. (8)European Commodity Prices Rise Sharply — Guest: Simon Constable Simon Constable discusses global commodity trends, European political shifts, and artificial intelligence infrastructure. Brent crude has risen to $97 per barrel, while European diesel prices surged to $9.52 per gallon, placing severe economic strain on consumers and agriculture. Critiquing British politics under the Labour government, Constable expresses concern over heavy taxation, public debt, and bloated social welfare spending. Turning to artificial intelligence, Constable notes that while new data centers bring needed financial investment to rural communities, their rapid expansion raises widespread anxiety over massive power consumption, with facilities now using over 4% of U.S. electricity. 9Examining Wealth Inequality And Innovation — Guest: David Henderson David Henderson contrasts market innovation with political cronyism when evaluating wealth inequality. Rebutting Thomas Piketty's proposal for uniform wealth taxation, Henderson demonstrates that entrepreneurs like Robert McCulloch or Elon Musk created fortunes by delivering superior products that immensely benefited consumers. Citing research by William Nordhaus, he notes that innovators retain only 2.2% of the value generated by their innovations, with 97.8% flowing directly to consumers. Conversely, wealth acquired through government favor and anti-competitive restrictions harms consumers. Henderson concludes that heavy taxation on wealth discourages capital investment, productivity, and real wage growth. 10

What if a 600 credit score doesn't automatically disqualify you from getting serious business funding? Brandon Jackson and Tevin Facey of Millionaire Essentials join Ash Cash inside the vault to break down how entrepreneurs can use credit, business funding and leverage to access capital—and more importantly, what to do with the money once you get it. They explain why your credit score is only one piece of the funding equation, how CDFIs may provide opportunities for borrowers who don't fit traditional bank standards, and why a strong business plan can matter just as much as the number on your credit report. The conversation goes much deeper than getting approved. Brandon and Tevin explain how entrepreneurs can use 0% business credit cards, lines of credit and other forms of capital to grow businesses, invest in real estate and create cash flow without falling into the trap of using debt to pay debt. They also share a client example in which they say $200,000 in funding was used to purchase and flip real estate, resulting in more than $500,000 in returns.In this episode: • How a 600 credit score may still qualify for certain funding opportunities • What CDFIs are and how they work • Why a 750 credit score doesn't guarantee approval • What lenders actually look for beyond your score • Business credit cards vs. lines of credit vs. loans • How 0% introductory business credit can be used strategically • Why you should never use debt just to pay other debt • How credit utilization affects your funding profile • Why a business plan matters before you borrow money • How to research banks before applying • Using business funding for real estate and group homes • Why mentorship and relationships can accelerate your business • How Millionaire Essentials built a seven-figure business through partnership and community • The difference between access to capital and actually building wealth Funding approvals, credit limits, interest rates and lending requirements vary by lender, borrower and business.

What if one of the most important parts of your ultramarathon training isn't another long run, hill workout, or strength session? What if it's training your mind? In this episode of Run the Riot, I sit down with ultrarunner, clinical hypnotherapist, mindset coach, and NLP practitioner Holly Grahn, founder of Hypno Gold. Holly recently completed her first 200-mile race at the Divide 200, and we dig into what it took to prepare for that kind of challenge—not only physically, but mentally. Holly shares how she used visualization, mental rehearsal, positive reframing, gratitude, and self-hypnosis before the race so that when things got difficult, her mind was already trained to look for a way forward. And things definitely got difficult. We talk about sore feet, massive climbs, long stretches between aid stations, pouring rain, hallucinating a monkey wearing sunglasses, catching her boyfriend Rob around mile 100, and ultimately finishing their first 200 miler together. But this conversation goes much deeper than racing. Holly explains how the beliefs we carry about ourselves can affect the way we train, race, work, and live. We talk about self-doubt, fear, anxiety, feeling like we're "not good enough," and why simply telling yourself to be positive isn't always enough. Holly also explains what hypnotherapy actually is—and what it isn't—and how she works with athletes and other high performers to identify thought patterns that may be holding them back. We talk about: • Holly's journey from a shy kid who struggled with self-esteem to ultrarunner and hypnotherapist • Her early ultramarathons and the lessons she learned the hard way • Preparing physically and mentally for the Divide 200 • Why mental training should happen before race day • Visualization and mental rehearsal for difficult race situations • Turning negative thoughts into useful beliefs • Looking for evidence that supports the person you want to become • Talking to yourself like you would talk to a friend • Gratitude as a tool when an ultra gets difficult • Breaking huge challenges into the next aid station—or even the next step • Learning from DNFs rather than allowing them to define you • Why identity affects behavior • What hypnotherapy actually feels like • The difference between stage hypnosis and clinical hypnotherapy • Self-doubt, anxiety, fear, sleep, procrastination, and self-sabotage • The Hypno Gold app Holly created for athletes and high performers • Why there may be much more inside you than you've discovered yet One practical takeaway from Holly that I really liked: write down a negative belief you're carrying, rewrite it into something that moves you toward your goal, and then start looking for actual evidence that supports the new belief. Training the body matters. But when you've been moving for days, you're exhausted, your feet hurt, and everything inside you is telling you to stop, your mind becomes part of the equipment you're carrying. ### Connect with Holly Grahn **Hypno Gold:** https://www.hypnogold.com/ **Hypno Gold App:** https://hypnogold.passion.io/ **Instagram:** @hypno_gold_app **Facebook:** Hypno Gold **Schedule a session with Holly:** https://schedulewithhypnoholly.as.me/ **Email:** info@hypnogold.com Holly's Hypno Gold app includes sessions covering areas such as performance, mindset, sleep, anxiety, procrastination, self-sabotage, emotional healing, and personal growth.

Running two practice areas can feel like running two law firms under one roof. In episode 638 of the Lawyerist Podcast, Stephanie Everett talks with Megan Burns, managing partner at Mirador Law, about the firm's decision to focus entirely on plaintiff personal injury after years of also handling criminal defense.  After 20 years as a criminal defense lawyer, Megan knew her trial skills could carry over. The business side required its own transition. She explains how different fee structures, marketing needs, and staffing demands led her and her partner to rethink how the firm operated. They started with a partner retreat to agree on a long term vision, then mapped out the steps needed to make it real.  Together, they discuss how to narrow a practice, support the people affected by the change, and build a firm around a shared direction. If your firm handles several practice areas and you are wondering where to focus, this episode offers a practical place to start.  Listen to the previous episodes of our Law Firm Strategy & Leading Change.  #635: Leading Forward: Why Great Ideas Aren't Enough for Law Firm Strategy, with Debbie Foster & Stephanie Everett Apple | Spotify | LTN  #633: Leading People in Law Firms: Building Trust, Developing Talent, and Holding Standards, with Debbie Foster & Stephanie Everett Apple | Spotify | LTN  #600: Designing a Law Firm You Actually Want to Run, with Stephanie Everett Apple | Spotify | LTN  #575: From Overwhelmed Lawyer to Strategic Law Firm Owner, with Chad Fox Apple | Spotify | LTN  Have thoughts about today's episode?

In this episode of the Observatory Podcast, Scott and LaRae Wright sit down with Dr. Stormy Hill for a deeply personal conversation about aliveness, intimacy, sensuality, pleasure, and what it means to fully participate in your own life. Stormy shares the unexpected path that took her from medicine to occupational therapy and intimacy coaching, including her son's serious heart condition, the end of her marriage, and her discovery of Tantra and sacred sexuality as pathways toward embodiment, connection, and a more expansive understanding of intimacy.As Stormy approaches her 50th birthday, the conversation turns toward the second half of life, relationships, nervous-system patterns, what she calls “adaptive inertia,” and the ways we can unknowingly adapt to lives that make us smaller. She also shares her recent 85-mile hike around Mont Blanc, her return to writing poetry after nearly 25 years, and why she is shifting her measure of a meaningful life away from achievements and toward awe, creativity, receptivity, pleasure, and the question: what makes you feel most alive?Timestamps:[00:00:03] Welcome to The Observatory Podcast[00:00:18] Introducing Dr. Stormy Hill and the pursuit of aliveness[00:03:43] Expanding intimacy, pleasure, and sensuality beyond the bedroom[00:05:14] Approaching 50 and discovering the common thread of aliveness[00:07:46] Medicine, motherhood, and her son's rare heart condition[00:14:45] Tantra, sacred sexuality, embodiment, and the divine[00:19:18] Growth, the nervous system, and “adaptive inertia”[00:25:08] The second half of life, relationships, and creating what comes next[00:30:08] Turning 50, resilience, and hiking Mont Blanc[00:38:12] One long blink of a life and helping people feel more alive[00:40:02] Keeping score with the wrong scorecard[00:49:24] What makes you feel alive and the practice of intentional participation[00:52:05] Poetry, grief, and rediscovering creative expression[00:58:24] Letting go, receptivity, and making room for what comes next[01:03:29] Living now instead of waiting for laterNotable Quotes:“We are wired for growth, but we are also wired for pattern recognition.” - Dr. Stormy Hill [00:20:26]“We give this one long blink of an eye of a life if we're lucky, and how do we bring aliveness and pleasure and joy to it?” - Dr. Stormy Hill [00:38:14]“I was keeping score with the wrong scorecard.” - Dr. Stormy Hill [00:40:02]“What makes you feel most alive?

James Jackson is President and Co-Owner of D. Luminous Productions, a Philadelphia-area film production company specializing in brand films, documentaries, narratives and commercials. In this Small Business Spotlight conversation, Curtis May and James go beyond cameras and production to explore what it takes to turn a creative talent into a sustainable business. James explains why effective video starts with understanding the message before turning on the camera, why authenticity and connection matter more than simply producing beautiful footage, and some of the mistakes business owners make when creating their own content. They also get into the business behind the art: pricing creative services, accounting for equipment, software, insurance and operating expenses, knowing when to say no, building a team, and creating a company that can eventually operate without the founder being involved in every project. James also shares his perspective on AI-generated video and why he believes human connection and authentic storytelling remain an important competitive advantage. In this episode: Turning a creative talent into a business Storytelling versus simply producing video The biggest video mistake small businesses make Why audio matters more than most entrepreneurs realize Pricing creative services based on value Hidden costs creative entrepreneurs often overlook Artist versus CEO thinking AI video versus authentic human storytelling Building a production company that can scale beyond its founder James's vision for D.

 It's another Throwback Thursday… and today we dip into the vault to pull out a webinar Rich did about 5 years ago on the topic of Turning One Sale into Many. The webinar is pretty long, and covers two distinct topics, so I'm going to give you the first half today--proximity marketing… and the second half next Thursday… getting referrals. In both cases the idea is simple and easy to understand: Leverage your customers to get them to help you find MORE customers. Today, Rich will go through his Super Robust Proximity marketing program… including touching the neighbors several times with different kinds of mailers… and culminating in what Rich calls "micro canvassing." This is a great program that while easy to understand, takes a bit of DOING to get it off the ground.

Brands have spent millions building out customer experience platforms — so why does the experience so often fall apart at the exact moment it matters most?Agility isn't just about moving faster or scaling up. It's about staying recognizably yourself when the pressure is highest — so the experience still holds together when every system is under strain.Today we're going to talk about what happens when the experience you designed on paper collides with the reality of peak customer demand. Specifically, we'll cover:- The idea of "experience debt" — and why high-traffic moments are where the hidden fractures in a customer journey finally show up.- Turning digital intelligence into actual decisions, not just dashboards, so friction gets fixed at the root instead of patched at the surface.- Where AI should predict and flag a problem versus act on its own — and what has to change across teams to own the experience end to end.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Jonathan Moran, Senior Manager, Horizontal Solutions Marketing at SAS.

1965  IBM  360/85 FORT MEADECONTENTS OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 9-29-2026Navigating Artificial Intelligence And ElectionsGUEST: Liz PeekLiz Peek analyzes the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence and the emerging debate over its regulation. While tech figures like Sam Altman and Elon Musk advocate for industry guardrails to mitigate risks like rogue AI agents and safety vulnerabilities, President Trump pushes for rapid advancement to maintain a competitive edge over China. Peek differentiates macro AI safety concerns from local opposition to data centers, which centers on utility costs. Turning to politics, she evaluates the Senate midterms, noting Republicans hold an edge in key tossup states like New Hampshire and Maine, while Democrats face steep challenges running the table nationwide. File 1Middle East Escalations And ConflictGUEST: Jonathan Schanzer Jonathan Schanzer evaluates ongoing conflicts across the Middle East, focusing on Iran, Yemen, Lebanon, and Gaza. Iran seeks to prolong military tensions to deplete American munitions, raise oil prices, and avoid facing severe domestic anger over its collapsing economy. In Yemen, the Iranian aligned Houthi militia pushes to unify the country, threatening Saudi Arabia and regional stability. Meanwhile, Hezbollah capability in Lebanon has been reduced by eighty percent, though political paralysis hinders government control. Schanzer notes that ending the Gaza conflict hinges on disarming Hamas, while withdrawing American troops from Iraq opens dangerous avenues for Iranian influence across the region. File 2European Leftist Populism And AIGUEST: Joseph Sternberg2 Joseph Sternberg highlights the rise of far left populism in Europe, exemplified by Die Linke winning local elections in Berlin. The party, rooted in East German communism, combines classic Marxist economic proposals like housing nationalization with troubling anti-Semitic sentiments emerging from an alliance of radical critical theorists and Islamist voters. Sternberg argues this coalition makes hostility an existential issue for the left compared to right wing parties. He also addresses the economic uncertainties of artificial intelligence, warning that massive infrastructure spending on data centers may fail to yield expected financial returns, creating major risks alongside ongoing American and Chinese competition. File 3Michigan Senate Battleground Midterm AnalysisGUEST: Thaddeus McCotter Thaddeus McCotter provides an extensive analysis of the Michigan Senate race between Republican Mike Rogers and Democrat Abdul El Sayed. McCotter highlights economic anxieties, inflation, and energy costs driven by Middle East conflict as central voter concerns. While Michigan historically leans Democratic in Senate contests, El Sayed's primary victory over center left Haley Stevens and his association with radical figures like Hassan Piker alienate moderate voters. McCotter observes that while Democrats capitalize on economic frustration, El Sayed's far left platform gives Republicans a viable path. Nationwide, McCotter notes that Democrats face an uphill battle to win the Senate this cycle. File 4Global Security And Strategic GeopoliticsGUEST: Gregory Copley Gregory Copley analyzes global geopolitical shifts, focusing on China, Indonesia, and the United Kingdom. He describes the summit between Xi Jinping and Donald Trump as symbolic stability designed to prop up China's fragile domestic economy and internal Communist Party rivalries amid severe water and demographic crises. In Southeast Asia, Copley examines Indonesia acquiring an aircraft carrier under President Prabowo Subianto, signaling strategic modernization to safeguard vital maritime choke points between the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Finally, he dismisses the Cardiff Memorandum, a sovereignty effort by Scottish, Welsh, and Northern Irish leaders, as grandstanding driven by frustration with Westminster government performance. File 5Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure And RegulationGUEST: Jim McTague Jim McTague explores the political and economic friction surrounding artificial intelligence expansion, particularly the development of massive data centers. Reporting from Pennsylvania, McTague notes how local municipalities are establishing zoning regulations and utility constraints to prevent corporate developers from imposing facilities without community input. Alongside cohost Thaddeus McCotter, McTague discusses White House backing for a golden age of artificial intelligence, comparing proposed regulatory approaches to financial market oversight. While tech leaders call for industry guardrails, McTague emphasizes that light touch, goal oriented regulatory models are superior to heavy handed rules, warning that political backlash over energy grid strain impacts elections. File 6Russian Election Control Hybrid WarfareGUEST: Ivana StradnerIvana Stradner details how Vladimir Putin maintained absolute control over Russia's Duma elections, securing three quarters of the seats for United Russia through autocratic manipulation, barring anti war parties like Yabloko, and staging fabricated electoral unity. Stradner explains that these domestic maneuvers serve Putin's broader ambition of restoring imperial dominance and testing NATO resolve. Through hybrid warfare, encompassing political pressure, sabotage, cyber operations, and psychological tactics, Russia aims to exploit western disunity and risk aversion. Stradner warns that Putin seeks to expose NATO Article Five as ineffective, emphasizing that western allies must show unity and escalate deterrence to counter threats. FILE 7Russian Sanctions Arctic Energy ExpansionGUEST: Max Meizlish Max Meizlish analyzes the enforcement of United States economic sanctions on Russia's Arctic LNG Two energy project and the strategic implications of the Polar Silk Road partnership between Moscow and Beijing. Meizlish notes that while previous enforcement turned back critical Chinese power modules, inconsistent application permitted later deliveries. Chinese state owned enterprises buy sanctioned facilities to shield transactions from Western pressure while purchasing discounted Russian liquefied natural gas. Meizlish stresses that Washington must utilize new legislative mandates like the Graham Sanctions Act to penalize non compliant Chinese entities, warning that weak enforcement enables adversaries to build dual use Arctic infrastructure.

1919 VERSAILLESEuropean Commodity Prices Rise SharplySimon Constable discusses global commodity trends, European political shifts, and artificial intelligence infrastructure. Brent crude has risen to $97 per barrel, while European diesel prices surged to $9.52 per gallon, placing severe economic strain on consumers and agriculture. Critiquing British politics under the Labour government, Constable expresses concern over heavy taxation, public debt, and bloated social welfare spending. Turning to artificial intelligence, Constable notes that while new data centers bring needed financial investment to rural communities, their rapid expansion raises widespread anxiety over massive power consumption, with facilities now using over 4% of U.S. electricity.

This episode of Living Myth features a compelling and inspiring interview between Michael Meade and Robin Beck, the editor of The Artist of Possibility magazine, produced by Emergence Education. The conversation begins with the archetypal imagination of the eternal youth and wise old sage who dwell in each person's heart and soul and can be drawn upon in times of trouble and confusion.   Michael tells an ancient story in which the youth and the elders reimagine and redeem a culture that had lost essential values and that leads to a discussion of Michael's new book, The Heart of Transformation. Turning to the metamorphosis in which the lowly caterpillar transfigures into a free-flying butterfly, transformation is seen as the essence of nature and also as the calling of the individual human soul. From there, the conversation expands to the polarization of society, the dangers of Artificial Intelligence and the capacity of the human soul to awaken to a new world view and find ways to participate in a renewal of life on Earth.      Thank you for listening to and supporting Living Myth.

Paul Rieckhoff joins the MSNBC table with Nikki McCann Ramirez of Rolling Stone and former Harris senior advisor Mike Nellis to break down the political sucking chest wound of Trump's Iran war — and how it is bleeding into every corner of the 2026 midterms. From Texas, where Republicans are burning nine figures to defend a state that was never supposed to be competitive, to Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota, and Alaska, where independent veterans are running as kryptonite to GOP incumbents, this is the clearest read yet on why Trump is now more unpopular with true independents than Nixon at the height of Watergate. Then MSNBC Pentagon reporter Priya Sridher joins with exclusive reporting on the USS Lincoln, the carrier that just broke a modern deployment record, at least eight suicide attempts in the strike group, and a 19-year-old sailor charged with malingering after jumping overboard. Paul connects the dots: an abused force, an unauthorized war, a Pentagon purging 20% of its generals and admirals, and a political class — in both parties — that still hasn't figured out how to stop any of it.

Shaun Morash declares the Red Sox the Yankees' new Twins, arguing Boston has become an October punching bag as the Yankees keep shutting down their offense. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber push back on just how far that comparison can go, but Shaun sees a matchup the Yankees should dominate for years. Then Susan Waldman delivers what might be the ultimate insult to Big Mac by suggesting he hasn't watched every Yankees game. The guys debate whether the shot was really aimed at Craig Carton, revisit Big Mac's Yankee Stadium habits, and celebrate the incredible scene after Ben Rice's grand slam sent drinks flying through the bleachers.

What if you could have hundreds of realtors looking for land deals for you? You don't need a big direct mail budget to make that happen. You need a phone, a simple offer, and consistent follow-up.I call realtors with vacant land listings that have been sitting for six months or longer. Sure, I'd love to buy the listed property at the right price, but that's not the biggest opportunity. I want that realtor to remember me when they find a motivated seller who needs cash and wants to sell quickly.That's why I'm willing to pay a 10% commission when an agent brings me a good off-market deal. Talk to five realtors a day, follow up every 30, 60, and 90 days, and you can build a powerful network of agents bringing opportunities to you. Pick a market, work the phones, build relationships, and keep following up.What's Inside: —Finding opportunities through older vacant land listings—Why I'll gladly pay realtors a 10% commission—Turning simple realtor conversations into long-term deal flow—Why consistent follow-up is the key to this strategy

Booked $4,500 this month and completely exhausted? Had an amazing sales call, then got ghosted? Pitched your dream brand and got offered a free jacket?These are three of the most common spots we see creatives get stuck in. And the longer you stay there, the more it wears on you. You start to resent your clients, dread sales calls, and check your phone every five minutes hoping it's them.Most of the time, the fix comes down to how you price, how you close, and how you pitch.In this episode, Joey puts Christy on the spot with three real scenarios she's never heard before, and she walks through exactly what she'd do in each one. You'll hear what red flag pricing is and why it can cost you bookings, the refundable date-hold deposit that keeps a great sales call from going cold, and how to answer free product offers with a pitch that brings in paid work. Plus, we share the mock sales call we ran with Hudson from Harbor Film Co and shout out this week's Mastermind wins, including a $12,000 month of tourism work.​Auditing your offers and pricing when you're burnt out​Spotting red flag pricing and raising your rates​Booking clients before you hang up the sales call​Setting a follow-up date so a great call never goes quiet​Turning free product offers into paid pitchesEvery one of these scenarios has a clear next step. Take it, and you'll work less, close more, and actually enjoy your business again.

Send us Fan MailRevenue may look strong on paper—but if the cash isn't there when you need it, your business can still be in trouble.In this episode of Scaling with People, host Gwenevere Crary sits down with Elaine Bogart, fractional CFO and financial leadership advisor, to demystify the numbers founders need to understand before scaling.Together, they explore why revenue, profit, and cash are not the same thing and how a gap between making a sale and receiving payment can put pressure on payroll, operations, and business runway.Elaine also explains how founders can use forecasting, AI, and the right financial leadership to make better decisions, avoid expensive surprises, and build a stronger financial foundation for growth.In this episode, you'll learn:Why revenue does not always translate into available cashHow payment delays can create dangerous cash-flow gapsWhy founders should model when money comes in—not just when sales are madeHow to build and maintain a practical 13-week cash forecastWhy short-term forecasts should be more detailed than longer-term projectionsThe key financial numbers founders should understand, including revenue, payroll, operating expenses, margins, and profitabilityHow AI can support forecasting and why human review is still essentialWhy founders should compare forecasts against actual results and investigate major variancesThe difference between cash-basis accounting and accrual accounting under GAAPWhy businesses should consider their long-term goals when choosing an accounting methodHow to determine whether your company needs a fractional, project-based, or full-time CFOThe difference between an advisory fractional CFO and a more embedded financial leaderHow to choose a CFO based on your company's current needs and stage of growthWhy putting numbers behind your intuition can lead to better business decisionsKey takeawayA strong sale is not the same as strong cash flow.Founders need visibility into when cash will arrive, when expenses must be paid, and how much runway remains. A regularly updated cash forecast—combined with sound financial leadership—can help business owners make smarter decisions before a cash shortage becomes an emergency.About Elaine BogartElaine Bogart is a fractional CFO who works with founders, CEOs, and leadership teams across digital media, technology, creative agencies, professional services, and other industries.

We were thrilled to host our good friend Scott Sheffield in advance of his new book, From Tehran to the Permian: Leading the Shale Revolution and My Fight for Energy Independence, publishing on October 6th. Scott's career spans more than four decades, including serving as CEO of Parker & Parsley and later Pioneer Natural Resources, where he helped lead the company through multiple industry cycles and played an important role in the development of the Permian Basin and the U.S. shale revolution. Scott's new book traces that journey from his formative years living in Tehran through his decades in the energy industry, sharing the leadership lessons, challenges, and experiences that shaped him along the way. We were honored to host Scott and hear his reflections on his career and his latest perspectives across the energy landscape. In our conversation, we cover the many lessons and experiences captured in From Tehran to the Permian. Scott shares his perspective on culture and leadership, including his emphasis on mutual respect, accountability, efficiency, and maintaining a family feel as Pioneer grew. He reflects on navigating multiple industry downturns, the importance of maintaining low leverage and financial flexibility, building strong management teams and boards, and learning to listen and empower others. We discuss Pioneer's evolution from its roots in the Spraberry to international exploration and ultimately back to the Permian, as well as Scott's willingness to change strategy as markets and opportunities evolved. We explore the evolution of the broader oil and gas industry, including the maturation of U.S. shale, the opportunities and challenges of international exploration, Scott's long history with Australia and the Beetaloo Basin, and his perspectives on shareholder activism, capital discipline, industry consolidation, and the future of public versus private independents. Scott also reflects on his experiences in Iran and shares his perspectives on Iran and Venezuela, as well as his experience with the FTC following ExxonMobil's acquisition of Pioneer. We touch on today's energy landscape, including Scott's role in helping lift the U.S. crude oil export ban in 2015, his thoughts on the potential implications of restricting diesel exports, and the importance of natural gas infrastructure as power demand grows. Scott also shares observations from his time on the Williams board and the increasingly important intersection of natural gas, power generation, LNG, AI, and data centers. Throughout the conversation, we return to many of the themes that define Scott's career and book: culture, adaptability, financial discipline, great people, and a willingness to listen and evolve. To start the show, Mike Bradley highlighted Pioneer Natural Resources' impressive long-term value creation, from its formation in 1997 through its acquisition by ExxonMobil in 2024. Turning to fixed income, he noted that Treasury yields moved higher this week, with the 10-year Treasury yield rising ~10 basis points to ~5.3%, near a 25-year high. Investors are now focused on Wednesday's PCE Price Index report, with a stronger-than-expected reading potentially reinforcing expectations for additional rate hikes. WTI is trading at ~$89/bbl, down ~$4/bbl this week and ~$11/bbl over the past two weeks, driven in part by continued oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz and the restart of Saudi Arabia's East-West Pipeline, restoring ~3mmbpd of capacity. Mike noted that a key uncertainty for refined product markets remains whether the Trump Administration will move forward with a temporary diesel export ban. In equities, the DJIA and S&P 500 are both down ~1% this week. With the third quarter drawing to a close, Mike highlighted a significant divergence in sector performance, with Energy up ~15% for the quarter while Utilities declined ~15%. Looking ahead, he noted that further moderation in crude oil and diesel prices could ease inflationary pressures, help stabilize interest rates, and provide a more constructive backdrop for equity markets.

In Episode #582 of Black Entrepreneur Experience, Dr. Frances sits down with Myoshia Boykin-Anderson, founder of AnTech Solutions, an IT consulting and strategy company that helps entrepreneurs and small businesses work smarter, not harder. Myoshia shares the story of being laid off in 1998 as a single mother with no savings—and how she turned that devastating moment into an entrepreneurial opportunity. After contacting the 63 clients she had previously served, she continued following up month after month until one client finally said, "As a matter of fact," launching her first business. She went on to build AnTech Solutions into a multimillion-dollar technology consulting company focused on developing websites, mobile apps, software systems, integrations, and automation solutions for businesses. Myoshia also speaks candidly about one of the most difficult lessons of her entrepreneurial journey: accumulating significant tax debt because she did not understand the financial side of running a business. Her experience ultimately taught her the importance of separating business and personal finances, maintaining clean books, managing cash flow, and planning ahead. In this conversation, Myoshia talks about: • Turning a layoff into an entrepreneurial opportunity • The power of persistence and consistent follow-up • Building a business around solving problems • Helping small businesses work smarter, not harder • Using technology, automation, and systems to scale • Why entrepreneurs need to focus on revenue generation • Managing cash flow and building financial discipline • Learning from major business mistakes • Creating opportunities for employees and family members • Building a business with legacy in mind • Knowing when to shift as customer needs change • The importance of trusting yourself and recognizing your own worth Myoshia's story is a reminder that you don't always need to know exactly where you're going. Sometimes you need to recognize an opportunity, take the next step, and keep moving. Guest: Myoshia Boykin-Anderson Founder, AnTech Solutions
