This episode was sponsored by Cardiff & East Coast Business Brokers LLC  Today's Dropping Bombs episode features Henry Galasso — a New York broker who started with $5,000 and a stack of business cards. Twenty-one years later, he's sold over 1,000 businesses and built one of the most dominant brokerage operations on the East Coast, now expanding into 37 states. Henry breaks down why most businesses aren't actually sellable, how a personal brand can quietly destroy your company's valuation, and why a $10+ trillion wave of boomer-owned businesses is about to flood the market. Plus, the one thing that separates brokers who close from the ones who disappear. If you own a business and haven't thought about your exit, you're already behind. This conversation could be worth more than whatever your company is worth right now — because knowing the number is just the beginning.

Roughly 82% of autoimmune diseases show up in women, and the cause may not be what you think. In this episode, I sit down with resilience researcher Dr. Taryn Marie to unpack how the stress you hide rewires your nervous system, why "toughing it out" is actually the opposite of resilience, and the three questions I'm now asking myself every morning. She also opens up about the 20-year secret she hid from everyone and a study where babies who had food, water, and everything but one thing still didn't survive.

Bert opens up about getting nastier and setting harder boundaries in sobriety, comparing himself to the A-Rod and Rafael Nadal documentaries, and Tom reveals his ongoing health investigation that involves shitting in a bucket for a lab test. The Bears also spiral into a debate on regional diets and genetics, plan a mushroom trip with an actual shaman, get Bert's dad on the phone to discuss his own legendary history of public accidents, and revisit boys' locker room culture versus Gen Z's aversion to male nudity.

For more than 150 years, Wharton County, Texas, has been shaped by both prosperity and violence. In the first installment of this special series, we trace the county's darker history: from racial terror and vigilante justice in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to two heartbreaking crimes in modern times that forever changed the community.In 1988, 24-year-old Juana Velasquez Moreno was brutally murdered while opening the Kwik Chek convenience store where she worked. For decades, her family believed the investigation had simply gone cold, only to later discover that a suspect had twice been indicted for her murder without their knowledge.Just over two years later, fifteen-year-old Rosemary Diaz vanished while working alone at a small country store in Danevang. Twenty-five years passed before long-hidden secrets led investigators to her grave, finally revealing what happened on the night she disappeared.This episode explores how violence has echoed across generations in Wharton County, where justice has never necessarily prevailed, sometimes failed, and sometimes arrived far too late.If you have any information about the murder of Sanjuana Velasquez Moreno, please contact the Wharton County Sheriff's Office at (979) 532-1550.You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.com Follow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

A family visit to Warwick Castle should have been just another stop on a vacation through England.Instead, a ten-year-old boy spent the afternoon behaving as though he already knew the castle's layout. He pointed out missing doorways, altered corridors, and even a sealed passageway that historical records later confirmed had once existed.The strangest part was that he never acted surprised by what he knew. He acted surprised by what had changed.Twenty-five years later, he returned to Warwick Castle expecting nothing more than a nostalgic visit. Instead, he found himself asking the same question his family had wondered about for decades.How can a place you've never seen feel so familiar?#RealGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #WarwickCastle #PastLifeMystery #UnexplainedMysteries #ParanormalExperience #HistoricPlaces #StrangeEncounters #GhostStories #SupernaturalLove real ghost stories?

Hey Leader, have you ever sat through a meeting and wondered if someone is ever going to land the plane? One topic. Twelve detours. Twenty minutes later and everyone is still trying to figure out what they're actually being asked to do. In Episode 136 of The Leadership Sandbox, Tammy tackles a communication habit that quietly steals time, drains energy, and creates frustration inside teams: overexplaining. In this episode you'll discover: • Why some people feel compelled to tell the whole story • How to respectfully interrupt lengthy conversations • The exact phrase Tammy uses to ask people to "bottom line it" • How to coach leaders who unintentionally overwhelm teams with details • Why fewer words often create more influence Most people who overtalk aren't trying to dominate the room. They simply don't feel heard. The challenge for leaders is learning how to honor the person while redirecting the conversation toward clarity, expectations, and action. Because teams don't need more talking. They need clearer requests. So, Leader, bottom-line it and watch the productivity soar.

Summer road trips sound relaxing until somebody brings up Arkansas, somebody else starts pitching Michigan like it's the Caribbean, and then WalletHub comes in and tells Missouri it's basically a budget destination with terrible road safety.In this daily podcast, The Rizzuto Show asks the simple question: "Anybody taking a road trip this summer?" Naturally, that spirals into college visits to the University of Arkansas, debates over Michigan's crystal-clear water, and whether Walmart money is secretly funding one of the greatest business schools around.Then things take a turn.A new study ranks the best and worst states for summer road trips, and the gang cannot believe some of the results. Minnesota somehow takes the crown, Louisiana sneaks near the top, and poor Rhode Island gets crowned the absolute worst road trip destination. Delaware catches strays. California gets roasted for traffic and gas prices. Missouri lands squarely in the "could be worse…but also could be way better" category.And because no Rizz Show conversation stays on the rails, the crew ends up asking an even more important question: How much money would it take for you to spend the rest of your life trapped inside Rhode Island?Five million? Ten million? Twenty million? Half a billion?Suddenly everybody's planning seafood dinners, retirement parties, dividend income, and figuring out exactly how far into the ocean they're allowed to sail before violating the rules of their tiny state prison.It's the kind of completely normal conversation you'd expect from a daily podcast featuring road trip rankings, college recruiting pitches, geographic hypotheticals, and enough Rhode Island real estate planning to confuse an actual travel agent.If you're planning a summer getaway, thinking about a road trip, or simply enjoy hearing adults passionately debate states they've barely visited, this daily podcast has exactly the chaos you're looking for.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Man used massage gun on his tired eyeballs.

“There has not been a bigger government scandal during my lifetime,” says Senator Ron Johnson, “and yet even now that we have documented proof of corruption, most of the legacy media refuses to report on it.” In the release of his new Senate report, Sen. Johnson says he found evidence that federal health officials knew about COVID-19 vaccine safety signals in 2021 but “purposely” hid them. Sen. Johnson, Chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, alleges that in March 2021, FDA officials were briefed that their VAERS analysis algorithm would mask vaccine adverse event signals. Twenty-six days later, an updated algorithm showed 25 safety signals, including sudden cardiac death, pulmonary infarction, and Bell's palsy. Johnson says officials ordered the analyst to “cease and desist” and told the public adverse events were “rare and mild.” Brianne Dressen, who recently met with Senator Johnson in DC, joins to discuss the severe symptoms she developed after being in one of the first US AstraZeneca trials in 2020. She is calling for a new investigation into the abandonment of the COVID-19 vaccine injured. Batya Ungar-Sargon, Newsweek opinion editor and host of “Batya!” on NewsNation, asks if going to war with Iran was worth it. Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert, author of “Therapy Nation”, argues America has grown over-reliant on therapy culture as mental health ratings hit record lows. Brianne Dressen is Co-founder of React19. In 2020, Utah mom and former teacher Brianne joined a clinical trial of AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine — one of the first in the USA — and says she developed severe side effects. She is now a vaccine injury advocate. Follow at https://x.com/briannedressen Batya Ungar-Sargon hosts “Batya!” on NewsNation, Saturday at 4PM and 11PM Eastern.

Twenty-seven can be a pivotal and tumultuous age. It's held up as the year of peak performance in many sports and it's also seen as a cursed age for pop and rock stars, exemplified by the so-called 27 Club. Artists like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse, all died at 27. As part of our series, The Greatest Numbers of All Time, IDEAS producer Chris Wodskou makes the case for a number that may not stick out in your mind but is more significant than you think.More episodes in this series:Listen to 12 is SublimeListen to The Curse of 13Guests in this podcast:David Awosoga is a PhD student in Statistics at University of Waterloo and sports performance data analyst.Alan Cross is a music historian, broadcaster, and host of The Ongoing History of New Music podcastDianna Kenny is a professor emerita of psychology and music at University of Sydney and psychotherapist in private practice.Michael Owen is a retired clinical psychologist and author of The 27 Club.Maria Westerstahl is senior lecturer at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden.

Twenty years before wellness became a global movement, Shane Evans was already building a business around recovery, longevity, and member experiences. Today, as Co-Founder and CEO of Heights Wellness Retreat, she is leading a major evolution that combines cutting-edge wellness technology with human-centered therapies to create a scalable franchise model for the future.In this episode of Living The Red Life, Shane reveals how she transformed a membership-based massage business into a wellness franchise brand with more than 100 locations, why consumer behavior is reshaping the industry, and how entrepreneurs can build profitable businesses by staying ahead of trends. She also shares lessons on franchising, leadership, culture, wellness technology, and creating lasting impact through business ownership.Key Takeaways • Why successful entrepreneurs anticipate trends before the market catches up • How franchising helps owners stay in business for themselves but not by themselves • The importance of combining technology with human connection • Why culture fit and shared values determine long-term business success • How wellness, longevity, and recovery are creating major business opportunitiesNotable Quotes • "Consumers don't want single modality locations anymore." • "Franchising gives people the ability to be in business for themselves but not by themselves." • "I don't ever give up. I don't back down." • "You don't have franchisee profitability, you have nothing." • "The robots can do work that humans cannot do and more work than humans can do."Connect with Rudy Mawer:LinkedInInstagramFacebookTwitter

We're talking alcohol, workouts, sleep, gut health, inflammation, supplements, saunas, spray tans, coffee enemas, and why I think feeling your best has way more to do with overall health than chasing a number on the scale.A word from my sponsors:Salt and Stone: Try Salt and Stone's discovery set to find your signature scent — Go to https://SaltandStone.com/HONEST and use code HONEST at checkout for 15% off your first order.Nutrafol: See thicker, stronger, faster-growing hair with less shedding in just 3-6 months with Nutrafol.

David Waldman shakes out some stories to clear the way for tomorrow's primary news. Donald K. Trump draws a strict line on pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. A strict line around himself. Donald might have a fat friend or two that take weight loss drugs, but everyone knows that he wouldn't be that one 79-year-old man Eli Lilly gave compassionate use access for a still unapproved weight loss drug. Trump is in better shape than any president, ever. Just look at him. 22 medical specialists – Twenty-two! – can't be wrong. A judge quashed subpoenas aimed at harassing Tim Walz, Keith Ellison, Jacob Frey and Kaohly Her in Minnesota. Meanwhile, Trump squashed an investigation into his clemency grant to a convicted fraudster. Trump's SAVE voter surveillance and harassment program has been deemed illegal. Sometimes you just have to force-feed Trump his tacos. Over at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts, the Donald F. Trump memorial tarpaulin of shame is still on display. Motions are being filed to remove it, even though it isn't really hiding anything. Peter Thiel secret society members Corey Booker, Ted Cruz, Elon Musk and others have been revealed. Some societies aren't as secret. Jasmine Crockett and James Talarico are not yet on the same team.

15 weekends of summer. How are you spending them?Laurie counted them. There are 15 summer weekends this year — and the moment she did that, something shifted. Not because it changed anything. Because finite time does something very particular to high-achieving women: it turns enjoyment into management.This episode started as a thought on a walk and became something much bigger: an honest look at busyness as a drug, the habit of earning rest before allowing it, and why the discomfort of doing nothing might be the most useful information you get all summer.Laurie shares what she's been working through in real time: the Sunday she spent doing absolutely nothing while Mike was out of town, the guilt that followed, and the moment a quote from a keynote at Craft + Commerce hit her in the chest and put language to something she'd been feeling her whole life.Practical, honest, and a little uncomfortable in the best way. This one is for any woman who has ever felt like she needed to earn the weekend before she was allowed to enjoy it.What we coverWhy counting the summer weekends changes the way you experience them...and not always for the betterParkinson's Law: why finite time makes us cram instead of savor, and what that costs usThe two problems with finite time: cramming it full, or feeling guilty for not cramming it fullThe pattern Laurie has been running her whole life — Saturdays off, Sundays working — and why she never questioned it until nowThe Sunday she did absolutely nothing, felt guilty about it, and what that revealedJay Papasan's keynote at Craft + Commerce and the quote that stopped her cold: "If busyness is your drug, rest will feel like stress." — Ian SimpkinsWhy busyness works like a drug, and what the cost of that addiction actually isBusyness as a hiding place: why staying in motion postpones the questions, the decisions, and the version of yourself that has things to deal withThe empty calendar question: if every obligation disappeared tomorrow, what would bubble up for you in the quiet?Three things Laurie has been doing this summer — imperfectly — to practice actual restWhy rest is a skill, not a rewardThe question underneath all of it: who am I when I'm not busy?The three practices1. Name it when the pattern shows up. Not out loud, not dramatically. Just notice: I'm reaching for my laptop because I feel like I should have something to show for this afternoon. That's it. See it.2. Give the guilt somewhere to land. The guilt isn't about the rest. It's about the belief underneath: I'm only as valuable as what I produce. When the guilt arrives, get curious. Ask it: what are you trying to protect me from? What do you think will happen if I just sit here?3. Start smaller than you think you need to. Not the whole weekend. Twenty minutes. No phone, no task, no optimization. Just twenty minutes with no agenda. Then notice: how long after those twenty minutes does it take before you reach for something to do?Quotable moments"The moment something becomes finite, you stop enjoying it and start managing it.""At some point the weekend becomes a production — and the question becomes, is this still a weekend, or is it just a different kind of work?""If busyness is your drug, rest will feel like stress." — Ian Simpkins, shared by Jay Papasan at Craft + Commerce"The rest was always conditional. The play was always something I had to earn first.""The discomfort of being unproductive feels worse to me than the exhaustion of being overworked.""Busyness isn't just a habit. It can be a hiding place.""The busyness feels productive. But what it's actually producing is distance...from the questions, from the stillness, from the version of yourself that knows things you're not ready to deal with.""The rest isn't indulgent. It's information.""Rest is a skill. The first few times you try it, it's probably going to feel awful.""Who am I when I'm not busy? That's one of the most important questions a woman in midlife can ask herself."Resources + links mentionedLast week's episode: Shoot Your Shot — Even When You'd Rather Look AwayApply for the BEST LIFE MastermindBook a 15-minute call with LaurieIf this episode resonated, share it with the woman in your life who needs to hear it.

Twenty years ago, Abraham Burickson and his collaborators asked a simple question: what if a work of art were designed for just one person? Instead of creating experiences for the masses, they spent months crafting deeply personal journeys for an audience of one. That experiment grew into a new way of thinking about design, participation, and transformation. In this revisited episode, Dart and Abraham discuss what those lessons can teach us about management, why experience cannot be fully designed, and how organizations can become platforms for people to create meaning together.Abraham Burickson is an author, speaker, and experience designer who has spent more than two decades exploring how designed experiences can transform people. He is the co-founder and Artistic Director of Odyssey Works and the author of Experience Design: A Participatory Manifesto.In this episode, Dart and Abraham discuss:- How to create a transformative experience for a single individual- Can managers be experience designers?- Why experience is not designable- How to implement experience design at work- Baking experiences within static products- Designing for transformation- Work as a shared experience- The origin story and myths of organizations- And other topics…Abraham Burickson is an author, experience designer, and artist who has spent more than two decades exploring how design shapes human experience.

A cybersecurity firm worth two billion dollars classified Nancy Guthrie's alleged abduction as a wrench attack by proxy. Their language, not ours. A wrench attack is a crypto-targeted crime. Nancy Guthrie is eighty-four years old with no known cryptocurrency holdings.That disconnect is the center of this conversation. If CertiK's classification is accurate, the person who was taken may not have been the intended target. Catalina Foothills is one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Tucson. Someone in that ZIP code may hold the kind of crypto that draws a six-million-dollar ransom demand. And if whoever showed up at Nancy's address was looking for that person, they found an eighty-four-year-old woman instead — and had a problem they couldn't walk away from.Meanwhile, volunteers have searched the border region three separate times after anonymous tips. Twenty-five unmarked graves found. None connected to Nancy. The Tohono O'odham reservation offers seventy-two miles of minimally monitored border. DNA sits at Quantico. The sheriff faces a recall. And the question nobody else is asking out loud: if Nancy wasn't the target, the real one may still be living nearby.Jennifer Coffindaffer, contributor to Hidden Killers, breaks it down.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nick Reiner $1.5 million trust — the trust terms reportedly said mandatory. The parents reportedly said no. Twenty-seven months later, Rob and Michele Reiner were found stabbed to death in their own home and their son was arrested the same night. Nobody in law enforcement has publicly connected those two facts. This episode does.Nick's own probate filing created the timeline prosecutors haven't released: a distribution due in September 2023, parents who controlled the trust and chose not to pay, a man living in their guesthouse with a reported psychiatric diagnosis and substance issues, and a medication change weeks before the killings that sources say destroyed whatever stability he had left. The petition was meant to argue Nick deserves his money now. It may have argued something much bigger.Tony walks through the motive theory point by point — why the anger reportedly predated the money by years, why a broken brain doesn't file lawsuits, why twenty-seven months of delay is evidence of fuse length rather than evidence against motive, and why the insanity defense his former attorney was reportedly building is the only strategy that fights the murder charge and potentially protects the trust fund at the same time.All individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

CertiK is backed by Tiger Global and Coinbase. They classified Nancy Guthrie's alleged abduction as a wrench attack by proxy and referenced a six-million-dollar Bitcoin ransom demand. Their report used the phrase proxy target selection — language that implies the attackers may not have found the person they were looking for.Nancy Guthrie is eighty-four. She has no known crypto holdings. She lives in Catalina Foothills, a neighborhood where the houses and the people inside them are worth targeting. The question this conversation puts on the table: did whoever showed up at Nancy's door have the wrong address? And if they did — who in that neighborhood was the intended mark?Three searches near the Mexican border. Twenty-five unmarked graves. None connected to Nancy. Retired law enforcement officials pointing to the Tohono O'odham reservation as a plausible route south. This case is not what most people think it is.

Could something as simple as a 20-minute bike ride improve the quality of platelet-rich plasma?In this episode of Overtime with The Sports Docs, Drs. Ashley Bassett and Catherine Logan explore an intriguing laboratory study examining whether exercise performed immediately before a PRP blood draw can enhance the cellular composition of platelet-rich plasma.As biologic therapies continue to expand throughout sports medicine, optimizing PRP has become increasingly important. While most discussions focus on centrifuge systems, platelet concentrations, leukocyte content, and injection techniques, this study introduces another potential variable: the patient.The authors found that a brief bout of vigorous exercise significantly increased platelet concentrations and mobilized hematopoietic progenitor cells, raising the possibility that exercise could serve as a simple, low-cost strategy to optimize biologic treatments.In This Episode, We Discuss: The fundamentals of PRP and how it works  Why PRP variability remains one of the biggest challenges in interpreting the literature  Conditions with the strongest evidence supporting PRP:  Knee osteoarthritis  Lateral epicondylitis  Patellar tendinopathy  Plantar fasciitis  The concept of exercise-mobilized PRP  Differences between plasma-based and buffy coat PRP systems  Whether higher platelet concentrations actually translate into improved clinical outcomes  How this research may influence real-world PRP protocols Study BreakdownStudy Design: Prospective laboratory studyParticipants: 20 healthy volunteers (ages 21–45 years)Exercise Protocol: 5-minute warm-up  20 minutes of cycling  Target heart rate: 70–85% of predicted maximum Blood samples were obtained before and immediately after exercise and processed using two PRP systems:ACP System (plasma-based PRP) Angel System (buffy coat PRP) Key FindingsWhole Blood Changes After Exercise Platelet count increased approximately 22% White blood cell count increased approximately 50%ACP System Platelet concentration increased from approximately: 457,000/µL → 562,000/µLAngel System Platelet concentration increased from approximately: 2.95 million/µL → 3.77 million/µL PRP volume increased  Hematopoietic progenitor cell concentrations increased significantly Why This MattersThe study suggests that patient physiology before blood collection may significantly influence the final biologic product.A brief exercise session may: Increase platelet yield  Mobilize progenitor cells  Potentially enhance biologic activity  Provide a low-cost method to optimize PRP preparation For clinicians performing biologic injections, exercise may become another controllable variable alongside: PRP preparation system  Centrifuge settings  Leukocyte concentration  Injection technique Clinical Pearls✔ PRP is not a single product. Composition varies substantially between systems.✔ Patient factors may influence PRP quality just as much as centrifuge settings.✔ Twenty minutes of exercise increased platelet concentrations in both PRP systems.✔ Buffy coat systems demonstrated increased progenitor cell concentrations.✔ The clinical significance of these changes remains unknown.The Big QuestionDoes exercise-enhanced PRP actually improve patient outcomes?This study demonstrates changes in laboratory measurements, but it does not tell us whether patients: Heal faster  Experience less pain  Return to sport sooner  Demonstrate better tendon or cartilage healing Future studies are needed to determine: Optimal exercise type  Ideal exercise intensity  Timing before blood draw  Which conditions benefit most Dr. Logan's Clinical PerspectiveAt the Joint Preservation Center, this study has prompted discussions about incorporating pre-injection exercise into PRP protocols. A simple 20-minute cycling session before blood collection may represent a practical strategy to optimize a patient's own biology before treatment.While additional evidence is needed, this concept aligns with the broader goal of maximizing the effectiveness of biologic therapies through thoughtful patient preparation.Take-Home Points Exercise before PRP collection significantly increases platelet concentrations.  Short bouts of exercise may mobilize progenitor cells.  Patient physiology may influence PRP composition.  Exercise represents a low-cost, non-pharmacologic optimization strategy.  More research is needed to determine whether these laboratory changes improve clinical outcomes. Resources Mentioned Episode #161: Platelet concentration and outcomes following PRP for lateral epicondylitis  Recent Sports Docs episode with Dr. Arianna Gianakos discussing PRP for plantar fasciitis

In 1981, a young Emirati woman convinced her father to let her travel to America to study. On her very first exam in a class of 75 Americans, she came first. That woman is now Vice Chancellor of the University of Sharjah.  Dr. Amina Al Marzouqi's story is one of the most inspiring journeys Spencer has covered on this show. After graduating in the US, she came home and was made deputy director of the UAE's entire primary healthcare system. She did her master's degree and went on to help build 106 primary healthcare centres that earned WHO recognition. Twenty four years in education later, she leads one of the UAE's most respected universities.  This conversation is full of wisdom. Dr. Amina talks about what university is really for, why a great teacher matters more than a famous institution, and why she believes students need less lecturing and more genuine interaction. She shares what it was like chairing her university's Covid response committee and supporting thousands of students through lockdown. She reflects on running a campus during the missile attacks, why students felt safer on university grounds than anywhere else, and the quiet strength the UAE revealed when it mattered most.    Timestamps:  0:00 How hard is it to be a student today with AI, mental health pressure and a region in conflict  1:30 Chairing the Covid response committee and what students needed most during lockdown  8:02 What university is really for: independence, critical thinking and self discipline  12:22 The teacher makes the subject: why a great lecturer matters more than a great university  18:13 Arriving in America in 1981, defying her father, and her first mixed classroom  22:24 The professor who saw her potential and the exam that changed everything  27:40 No management training, one year to get a master's, and building the UAE's healthcare system from scratch  31:48 AI as a tool not a threat and the careers students are not talking about yet  37:47 How the missile crisis made students more thoughtful and more mature  48:58 From mandatory cousin marriages to confronting a queue jumper: how UAE culture has shifted  51:31 The UAE's defence strength that nobody knew existed until it mattered  58:52 Defining success as impact and why she hates exams and textbooks  1:04:26 Quickfire Questions    Follow Spencer Lodge on Social Media  https://www.instagram.com/madeindubaipodcast/?hl=en  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61586194260076  https://www.instagram.com/spencer.lodge/?hl=en  https://www.tiktok.com/@spencer.lodge  https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerlodge/  https://www.youtube.com/c/SpencerLodgeTV  https://www.facebook.com/spencerlodgeofficial/    Follow Dr. Amina Al Marzouqi on Social Media  https://www.linkedin.com/in/amina-al-marzouqi-7b286b151/  https://www.linkedin.com/school/university-of-sharjah/

If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My Guest - Tina Seelig has spent 27 years at Stanford teaching some of the world's most ambitious people how to see and seize opportunities. She's a neuroscientist, the executive director of Knight Hennessy Scholars, and the author of 18 books. Her TED Talk on luck has been viewed over 3.4 million times. Her newest book is called What I Wish I Knew About Luck: A Crash Course on Turning Aspirations into Achievements. Key Learnings Tina's dad died at 99 and a half. Three weeks before his first great-grandbaby was born. He was still driving, going to three dinner parties a week, and talking to Tina every day. His curiosity was his superpower. He gave 66 lectures in his retirement community over 20 years, on topics ranging from nuclear weapons to climate change. Train yourself to be a professional noticer. When Tina's dad walked his grandkids into a new room, he'd give them a minute, then say "Shut your eyes." How many doors? Windows? What color is the carpet? Assume there's a million dollars in every room. It's up to you to find it. Opportunities are ubiquitous. You just have to look. Take the headphones off. The most powerful things happen when you engage with strangers. Standing in line. On the plane. Walking through campus. Tina sat next to a stranger named Mark on a plane. He was a publisher. He said no to her book proposal. She kept the relationship going. Years later, his editor approved the same proposal she had given Mark. Within two weeks, she had a contract. Wear something that invites conversation. A logo. A backpack from a conference. A college baseball shirt. Give the world a hook to start with you. Fortune is what happens to you. Luck requires action. Most people confuse the two and miss the chance to claim their agency. "With my luck, it's gonna rain." Reframe it: "With OUR luck, it's gonna be a beautiful sunny day." The reframe changes what you see.  Luck seldom sails solo. Most luck comes through other people. Cultivating meaningful relationships is the most underrated lucky behavior. You don't get a job. You get the keys to the building. The visible work isn't what gets you ahead. The invisible work is. Between stimulus and response is a choice. (Viktor Frankl) Within the constraints of fortune, agency is everything. "Tina, you think like a scientist." One sentence from a professor changed Tina's life. Leaders, know the weight of your words. Twenty years later, Tina wrote that professor a thank-you note. Twenty years after that, his granddaughter wrote back. They had read part of Tina's letter at his funeral. When a student made a bad decision, Tina's first instinct was to punish. She paused. Said, "Help me understand what happened." The whole community learned what empathy and humility look like in leadership. Unresolved conflict sucks the energy out of your day. Resolve it. You become taller, lighter, more open to lucky things. Oliver Greenwald sent Tina a list of 10 ways he could help her with her book. Nothing on the list was exactly what she wanted. She hired him anyway, because of the initiative. Build the sail to catch the wind. Build the ship. Your internal work. Values. Story. Goals. Recruit the crew. The people in your world. Hoist the sail. What you do every single day. Your core values are the keel of your ship. Without them, the first strong wind capsizes you. Keep a failure resume. Document what didn't work and what you'll do differently. Don't perseverate. Move on. "It's all good in the end. If it's not good, it's not the end." We're always in the middle of the story. Tina sends thank-you notes every single day. Five or ten minutes. Three or four sentences. Closes the loop. Builds the relationship. Don't end the dinner without making the next date. Most people drop the ball. Get it on the calendar before you leave. The instant you think something positive about someone, tell them. Be specific. Text. Email. Call. The instant. Tina's champagne moment: her newborn granddaughter at one year old. She just learned to turn over and looks so proud of herself. Reflection Questions What's on your failure resume right now that you haven't yet extracted the lesson from? Are you perseverating, or moving on? Whose thank-you note are you going to send today? Specific, genuine, unprompted.  Where in your life are you waiting for fortune and calling it bad luck? What is the action you've been avoiding because it requires you to put yourself out there?

For decades, we've been told to fear the sun. Avoid it. Cover up. Stay indoors. Apply sunscreen constantly. But what if one of the most powerful forces shaping human health has been misunderstood? In this eye-opening conversation, Darin Olien sits down with award-winning journalist and author Rowan Jacobsen to explore the surprising science of sunlight, longevity, vitamin D, cardiovascular health, immune regulation, circadian rhythms, and the unintended consequences of our growing fear of the sun. Drawing from decades of research and Rowan's extensive investigation for his new book, they unpack why sun exposure is linked to lower rates of chronic disease, how sunlight influences everything from blood pressure to inflammation, why vitamin D supplementation isn't the same as sunlight, and how modern indoor lifestyles may be creating what researchers call "biological darkness." This conversation challenges conventional wisdom and offers a more nuanced, science-backed understanding of our relationship with the sun.     What You'll Learn Why sunlight may be one of the most misunderstood health factors today The surprising connection between sun exposure and longevity How sunlight impacts blood pressure and cardiovascular health Why vitamin D supplements are not the same as sunlight The discovery of sunlight-triggered compounds beyond vitamin D How nitric oxide production lowers blood pressure Why sunlight plays a critical role in immune regulation The concept of "biological darkness" and modern indoor living How sunlight regulates circadian rhythms, sleep, and recovery Why skin tone dramatically changes sunlight requirements The dangers of both overexposure and underexposure Practical guidelines for developing a healthier relationship with the sun     Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Bite Toothpaste Bits 00:02:50 – Introducing Rohan Jacobsen 00:03:22 – Why we've been taught to fear the sun 00:04:02 – Rohan's new book and questioning conventional wisdom 00:05:02 – How evolutionary biology challenges the anti-sun narrative 00:08:14 – The MIT fellowship that changed everything 00:09:13 – The blood pressure studies that sparked his investigation 00:10:15 – Sun exposure, longevity, and chronic disease 00:11:19 – Why skin cancer isn't the whole story 00:13:04 – Science, reductionism, and missing the bigger picture 00:14:16 – The surprising mortality tradeoff of avoiding sunlight 00:17:01 – Understanding sensible sun exposure 00:18:24 – Vitamin D and what supplements miss 00:19:44 – Twenty different compounds produced by sunlight 00:21:06 – Nitric oxide and blood pressure regulation 00:23:03 – The skin as an observatory 00:24:24 – Biological darkness and life indoors 00:26:13 – Sponsor: Manna Vitality 00:28:11 – Circadian rhythms and the power of daylight 00:30:11 – Lux levels and why indoor light isn't enough 00:32:02 – The epidemic of biological darkness 00:33:42 – Sunlight, inflammation, and chronic disease 00:35:33 – Multiple sclerosis and the sunlight connection 00:36:10 – Why humans constantly overcorrect 00:38:05 – Sun exposure as exercise for your skin 00:39:53 – Stress adaptation and resilience 00:42:20 – Practical guidelines for healthy sun exposure 00:43:24 – Why burning is the real danger 00:44:06 – Skin tone, melanin, and individualized recommendations 00:46:03 – Why darker skin requires more sun exposure 00:46:51 – Australia's evolving sunlight guidelines 00:48:16 – Vitamin D production and skin pigmentation 00:49:30 – Darin's personal relationship with the sun 00:51:11 – Training your skin for resilience 00:52:00 – Reclaiming joy and confidence in sunlight 00:53:24 – Seasonal darkness and modern life 00:54:19 – Challenging outdated health narratives 00:55:57 – Rohan's work with cacao and medicinal plants 00:57:00 – The endocannabinoid system and cacao 00:57:58 – Standing in truth and questioning assumptions 00:58:30 – Final thoughts and gratitude     Thank You to Our Sponsors Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order Manna Vitality: Go to mannavitality.com/ and use code DARIN12 for 12% off your order.     Join the SuperLife Community Get Darin's deeper wellness breakdowns — beyond social media restrictions: Weekly voice notes Ingredient deep dives Wellness challenges Energy + consciousness tools Community accountability Extended episodes Join for $7.49/month → https://patreon.com/darinolien     Find More from Rowan Jacobsen Website: rowanjacobsen.com Instagram: @unrealrowanjacobsen Book: In Defense of Sunlight     Find More from Darin Olien: Website: darinolien.com Instagram: @darinolien Book: Fatal Conveniences Platform & Products: superlife.com New Show: Roadmap to Happiness     Key Takeaway "The sun is not simply a source of vitamin D—it's a master regulator of human biology. From blood pressure and inflammation to sleep, immunity, cognition, and longevity, sunlight acts as a critical environmental signal that helps orchestrate countless systems throughout the body. The question isn't whether we should fear the sun or worship it. The question is whether we've forgotten how to live in relationship with one of the very forces that helped shape us."

Twenty-five years after volunteering at Ground Zero following the September 11 terrorist attacks, Craig Sotkovsky continues fighting a different enemy, an aggressive form of lung cancer linked to toxic exposure at the World Trade Center.

His remarkable story is featured on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and shared across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, and other major News and podcast platforms.

Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. Like millions of Americans, he watched in disbelief as the Twin Towers collapsed after terrorists hijacked commercial airliners and carried out one of the deadliest attacks in U.S. history. But unlike most Americans, Craig didn't remain a spectator. A skilled carpenter and mason, he volunteered to help. He joined the bucket brigade at Ground Zero and spent two of the first five days working in the debris field following the collapse of the World Trade Center. Cancer Caused by His Volunteer Work at a New York Attack: A 9/11 Volunteer's Fight Against Lung Cancer, Trauma, and Finding Hope. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. At the time, he believed he was simply helping his country. He had no idea the toxic dust surrounding him would follow him for the rest of his life. "Twenty-five years ago, I answered a call for help." The Hidden Cost of Being a Volunteer Ground Zero contained a dangerous mixture of pulverized concrete, asbestos, glass fibers, lead, fuel residue, and countless other hazardous materials released when the towers collapsed. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. Years later, Craig received devastating news. He had developed a rare and aggressive lung cancer connected to his exposure at the World Trade Center. The diagnosis transformed every part of his life. He underwent multiple cancer surgeries. He endured physical pain, emotional trauma, and overwhelming financial hardship. The illness eventually cost him nearly everything. "Cancer changed everything." More Than a Medical Battle Craig explains that surviving cancer became more than simply recovering from surgery. It became a complete rebuilding of his identity. He describes losing financial security, emotional stability, and the life he once knew. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. Yet amid tremendous hardship, he discovered something unexpected. Purpose. "Growth can come from pain." That philosophy became the foundation for what Craig now calls "Gro-Win Through Pain," a message encouraging others to find strength through life's darkest moments. Cancer Caused by His Volunteer Work at a New York Attack: A 9/11 Volunteer's Fight Against Lung Cancer, Trauma, and Finding Hope. Trauma Doesn't Always End When the Crisis Is Over Many people associate September 11 with the horrific events of that single morning. Craig reminds listeners that for thousands of responders, recovery workers, and volunteers, the disaster never truly ended. For many, the effects emerged years later through chronic illness, cancer, respiratory disease, and lasting emotional trauma. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast continues bringing listeners real conversations from the front lines of crime, policing, trauma, survival, and healing. His story highlights the reality that some of the greatest wounds are invisible for years. Research Continues to Show Elevated Cancer Risks Craig's experience reflects what researchers have documented for years. Studies examining World Trade Center responders have found elevated rates of several cancers among those exposed to Ground Zero dust. One study published in JAMA followed more than 12,000 World Trade Center responders. Researchers found that participants reporting heavier exposure experienced nearly three times the incidence of lung cancer compared with responders reporting minimal exposure, even after accounting for smoking history and other demographic factors.

The complete interview is available as a Free Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, LinkedIn, and major podcast platforms. While every individual's medical history is unique, Craig's diagnosis illustrates the very real health consequences many volunteers and first responders continue to face decades later. A Mission Across America As the 25th anniversary of September 11 approaches, Craig is preparing for another mission. He plans to travel across America in an RV to honor those who lost their lives, recognize responders and volunteers still living with the consequences of that day, and share stories of resilience, perseverance, and hope. His journey is no longer defined by cancer. It is defined by purpose.

“Just 25 literary agents represent more than half of all prizewinning novelists in the 21st century. The agent is the unacknowledged legislator of the literary field.” — Laura McGrath We think of publishers and editors as the ultimate tastemakers. As those godlike gatekeepers controlling what we read. But if you're looking for literary gods, Laura McGrath argues, then you need to look at literary agents rather than publishers or editors. Her ten-year project, Middlemen: Literary Agents and the Making of American Fiction, is the first serious scholarly account of the literary agent's astonishingly powerful role in shaping what America reads. Except, of course, the Middlemen are actually Middlewomen — since 80% of literary agents are women. The numbers are striking. Just 25 literary agents represent more than half of all prizewinning novelists in the 21st century. McGrath interviewed 75 of them over ten years. Shelley called poets the unacknowledged legislators of the world. McGrath's agents are the unacknowledged legislators of the literary field. They shaped postmodernism (Candida Donadio and Pynchon, Heller, Gaddis). They launched the debut novel as a literary form. They made the short story collection viable. And 25 of them control more than half of the prizes. So will AI replace the agent? In operations, perhaps, McGrath acknowledges — the slush pile is overwhelming and smart machine assistance is welcome. But in creative work — in the business of writing, editing, translation, cover design, and above all taste — she thinks not. No algorithm will ever learn the Catch-22 of publishing — separating the Thomas Pynchon or Joseph Heller from all the dross. And no bot (male or female) is ever going to host a three-martini lunch in Manhattan. Five Takeaways •       The Literary Agent as the New Gatekeeper: Replacing the Publisher: In the early 20th century, publishing was shaped by the taste of individual publishers: Bennett Cerf at Random House, Alfred and Blanche Knopf at their imprint, Max Perkins at Scribner's. Those days are over. Publishers are now conglomerates where individual editors may have excellent taste but no single figure shapes the house. Into that vacuum has come the literary agent — who now operates, McGrath argues, exactly as the great publishers once did: as the primary tastemaker, the person whose aesthetic and commercial judgment shapes what America reads. •       25 Agents, Half the Prizes, 80% Women: The Numbers: McGrath's most striking statistical finding: just 25 literary agents represent more than half of all prizewinning novelists in the 21st century. Twenty-five people. The field is 80% women — hence the tongue-in-cheek title — and 73% white. Agents tend, McGrath found, to represent authors who resemble themselves. One answer to the question “why is contemporary literary fiction so white?” is: because agents are. And agents, because they work on contingency fees rather than salaries, face severe financial pressures that concentrate power at the top of the profession. •       The Unacknowledged Legislators: Agents Shaped American Literary History: McGrath's book is full of literary history rewritten from the agent's perspective. Sterling Lord persisted past dozens of rejections to place On the Road for Kerouac. Candida Donadio — Pynchon's, Heller's, Gaddis's, and early Philip Roth's agent — championed maximalist, experimental writers whom no one was interested in, and built the social network of editor relationships that made postmodernism possible. The debut novel as a cultural form, the persistence of the short story collection despite poor sales, the rise of the New York novel — all are, in McGrath's account, partly agent-made. •       Can White Male Writers Not Get Published? No: Andrew raises the complaint he hears from white male writers: that they can no longer get published because of diversity initiatives. McGrath's answer is flat. No. She thinks it's silly. The number of books published each week is staggering. Being able to see some success on the part of writers of colour does not diminish the work white men are doing. The complaint, she notes, circulates every ten years, typically after a boom in support for writers of colour. We are in another round of this cycle. There will be another one in a decade. •       Will AI Replace the Literary Agent? In Operations, Maybe. In Taste, No: Andrew's closing question: will AI replace the middlemen? McGrath draws the distinction she heard at the US Book Show: AI in operations (slush pile management, contract tracking), yes, possibly. AI in creative work — writing, editing, translation, cover design, and above all taste — she hopes not. An algorithm is built on priors. It narrows the window of possibility endlessly, replicating itself. That is not what a good literary agent does. A good literary agent is looking for books that surprise, frustrate, and thrill. No algorithm has learned to take an author out for a three-martini lunch. About the Guest Laura McGrath is an assistant professor of English at Temple University and a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellow. She was formerly the associate director of the Literary Lab at Stanford University. She is the author of Middlemen: Literary Agents and the Making of American Fiction (Princeton University Press, April 28, 2026). She writes the textCrunch Substack on literary and publishing culture. References: •       Middlemen: Literary Agents and the Making of American Fiction by Laura McGrath (Princeton University Press, April 28, 2026). •       Earlier on KOA: Gayle Feldman on Nothing Random: Bennett Cerf and the Publishing House He Built — the companion episode referenced at the opening. •       Sterling Lord (agent for Kerouac), Candida Donadio (Pynchon, Heller, Gaddis, Roth), Andrew Wylie — agents profiled in the book. •       Andrew Keen, Cult of the Amateur (2007) — referenced as Andrew's own defence of gatekeepers. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen. In Keen On America, Andrew brings his pointed Transatlantic wit to making sense of the United States — hosting daily interviews about the history and future of this now venerable Republic. With nearly 3,000 episodes since the show launched on TechCrunch in 2010, Keen On America is the most prolific intellectual interview show in the history of podcasting. WebsiteSubstackYouTube

Send Us Your Questions & Feedback!Twenty years ago, I didn't even know the window treatment industry was a real business lane. I thought hanging shades was something everyone did themselves. Then I spent one weekend with my cousin and watched his phone light up with customer calls and I realized there was a hidden market for shade installation, blinds, and in-home service work that most people never notice until they need it fast.I'm celebrating 20 years of Shades in Place by walking through the first 10 turning points that shaped how I operate, sell, and grow. These lessons live in what I call “courage and motion” the early season where you move forward without feeling fully ready. I talk about getting fired for doing a good job, why that closed door mattered, and how training and certifications (including Hunter Douglas certification) changed my skill level and confidence. I also share how Lowe's subcontractor work became a real-world school for customer service, speed, and professionalism, plus the moment I shifted from installer to dealer when a simple phone call created an opportunity.We go deeper on the business side too: learning QuickBooks so product sales and service income don't get messy, joining a weekly networking group to build public speaking confidence, and taking on scary jobs like shutters, corner windows, two-story drapery, and motorized shades. If you've ever felt behind, shy, or unsure whether you're “qualified,” these stories are proof that progress often looks like baby steps, good relationships, and the willingness to ask for help.Subscribe for part two next week, then share this with a friend building a small business and leave a quick review so more people can find the show. What's one moment that changed your path?

The number is reportedly over a million dollars. That is what Asa Ellerup earned from a Peacock documentary about the Gilgo Beach case — her ex-husband's case. The case where he pleaded guilty to killing eight women.Now the families want the money back. And more.Valerie Mack's son has filed a wrongful death lawsuit alleging civil conspiracy. The suit names Asa Ellerup, her daughter Victoria, and Rex Heuermann. The accusation is not that Asa was oblivious. It is that she knew or deliberately avoided knowing what was happening and helped conceal it.Suffolk County prosecutors already cleared Asa criminally. They said she was not home during the killings. They called the hair found on victims household transference. They moved on. But the civil case does not require the same level of proof, and the evidence prosecutors set aside gets a second examination under a lower standard.Asa's own words are part of the case now. She told a documentary crew she did what she had to do to protect herself and her children. She renovated the basement where investigators believe seven women were killed. She lives there. Thirteen hundred square feet, twenty-seven years, and she says she never knew.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis explains what the civil conspiracy allegation requires, whether the documentary money qualifies as unjust enrichment, and what happens if this lawsuit forces Asa Ellerup to sit for a deposition. Twenty-seven years of questions. Under oath. For the first time.The families got their sentencing. This lawsuit is about something else.END LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Property in South Carolina. A timeshare in Las Vegas. Investigators examining ties to Atlantic City. And women who disappeared near all of them.Rex Heuermann's Gilgo Beach sentencing closed the New York chapter — three consecutive life terms, a hundred years, no appeal. But the judge who handed down the sentence said five words that reopened everything: eight that we know of.Heuermann purchased four lots in Chester, South Carolina. Twenty miles from that property, a woman vanished. He bought a timeshare in Las Vegas. Two weeks later, an escort disappeared. The connections are timeline-based, not evidentiary. But timelines are how investigations begin, and some of those states have legal tools New York does not.South Carolina and Nevada both carry the death penalty for the crimes Heuermann committed. He pleaded guilty in the one jurisdiction where execution was off the table. His plea deal is limited to Suffolk County. It offers no protection in any other state.His digital footprint is enormous — a hundred and twenty terabytes, seven thousand pages, a recovered planning document. If that data contains evidence of crimes beyond Long Island, the legal framework for sharing it across state lines becomes critical.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis explains what separates a suspicious timeline from a prosecutable case, whether the FBI interview built into the plea deal produces anything other states can use, and what incentive — if any — a man serving the maximum in New York has to tell the truth about what happened in South Carolina, Nevada, or anywhere else.Eight is the official number. The question is whether anyone is looking for nine.END LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Not as much as you think.Rex Heuermann's sentencing delivered the version the families needed: three life terms, a hundred years, a judge who called him disgusting, officers removing him while the gallery cheered. But the plea agreement underneath that spectacle contains concessions, omissions, and open doors that most coverage never examined.He confessed in open court to killing Karen Vergata. No charge. Her family present. His defense team spent three years fighting to suppress the DNA evidence and then he gave up his appeal in the same deal. Melissa Barthelemy's sister testified that Heuermann called from Melissa's phone after the murder and described what he had done.Outside the courtroom, Asa Ellerup faces a wrongful death lawsuit alleging civil conspiracy. She reportedly collected over a million dollars from a documentary about the murders. She said on camera she protected herself. She renovated the basement. She lives there. Twenty-seven years, thirteen hundred square feet.Beyond New York, the judge said “eight that we know of.” Heuermann owns property in South Carolina and had timeshares in Las Vegas. Women disappeared near both locations. Both states have the death penalty. His New York deal is worthless there.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis works through all three layers: what the sentencing accomplished and what it traded away, whether the civil case against Asa survives its first hearing, and whether another state can realistically build a prosecution against a man who already confessed to eight murders in a state that cannot execute him.The plea deal protected Heuermann in Suffolk County. The question is what it left exposed everywhere else.END LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This week I did something I've been telling people to do for years but had been too comfortable to try myself. I pushed for volume. A daily podcast. Ten clips a day. Twenty pieces of content across every platform. The kind of output that used to take my team six hours and three people. So we ran an audit, rebuilt the entire thing with AI, and got it down to something I can run from the sideline of my kid's soccer practice. In this episode I get into why we did it, the system we built, the tools we actually use, the problem we hit (one of them involves Messi and Ronaldo), and the early numbers that genuinely surprised me.

"If you do a short-term sale and take advantage of people or manipulate them, it's not a good deal. It's a win-lose situation. That's the one sale that you're going to get. But when you treat people in a win-win way, and you treat people with respect, and it's a fair deal, you potentially get a lifetime of business from them." "So many scams happen because people used to put their diaries under their beds, and now they put them online." "We need to be very careful about our social media footprint." "If you're not getting negative feedback, you're not really putting yourself out there. You're not really taking any chances. You're just playing it safe." "We need to be very careful about how we fix horns and halos, because too often we do it too quickly, and we get burnt. That's how scams happen." "Look for people that aren't the yes-man, that are going to be critical." "You need to win, and you need to lose. In doing so, you kind of sharpen that sword to become better." "Become comfortable at being uncomfortable." "There are going to be times in your life where someone is much better than me and is beating the tar out of me. I've got to be comfortable in those times in life so that I can weather that storm." "Twenty percent of the things you do lead to eighty percent of your results." "We're a tribal culture that lies for social cohesion, and if we all told the truth all the time, society would fall apart." "When you feel like you stop learning, you're dying."

Twenty years, 30 employees, and one very real fire that nearly took out a parquet floor a month before a major photo shoot. Anthony Janckila and Mark trade stories about clients going dark, why the GC ends up responsible for literally everything whether they get paid for it or not, and the kind of loyalty that shows up at a funeral instead of just sending flowers. This one's got heart, a little chaos, and a genuinely great pitch for a Curious Builder retirement home.

DANCEFLOOR DADDY V6Live at Dirty Pop • Rich's San DiegoThere are moments behind the booth when you realize this is bigger than music.Twenty-two years into this career and I still get that feeling when the lights drop, the room fills, and a thousand strangers decide to trust me with their night.Dancefloor Daddy V6 was recorded live during Dirty Pop at Rich's San Diego, a city that has been part of my story for more than a decade, the longest running monthly party in San Diego. Some of you have been dancing with me since the beginning. Some of you found me last week. Either way, for a few hours we all ended up in the same place.Whether you're listening at the gym, on a plane, in your car, or getting ready for a night out, I hope this mix gives you the same feeling that room gave me.Turn it up.Love,Drew GDancefloor Daddy V6Live at Dirty PopRich's San Diego#DancefloorDaddy#DancefloorDaddyV6#DirtyPop#RichsSanDiego#DrewG#DrewDoesDallas#DJLife#CircuitMusic#GayNightlife#LGBTQ#HouseMusic#DanceMusic#ClubLife#PartyWithPurpose#MusicIsTherapy#LiveDJMix#SanDiegoNightlife#GayCulture#DanceFloorFamily#DaddyOnDeck

Fourteen counts. Not guilty on every single one. Twenty-one years later, Netflix has reopened the case — and one of Michael Jackson's own defense witnesses is about to change his story. In June 2005, Michael Jackson walked out of a Santa Barbara courtroom acquitted of all 14 child sexual abuse charges. Netflix's new three-part docuseries "The Verdict" revisits that 2005 trial, and in Part 1 Tyrella and Nikita break it down episode by episode — the Martin Bashir interview that started it all, the raid on Neverland, and the fingerprint evidence at the center of the case. We also get into what the documentary left out: the surprise witness who blew up the "captivity" story, and the "neutral" family friend with an undisclosed tie to the prosecution. This is Part 1. Part 2 — who flipped, and where the estate stands in 2026 — drops Thursday (out now for patrons). Content warning: discusses child sexual abuse allegations, grooming testimony, and substance use.

From there, things get unexpectedly historical: Tom breaks down the story of the guy who invented the meter and got guillotined for it, which leads them down a rabbit hole of people killed for their big ideas, the French Revolution as the original cancel culture, and Martin Luther versus the Catholic Church. Then it gets personal — Bert tells the full Patrice O'Neal story: getting destroyed at his first open mic, the Edinburgh trip where they lived together for 29 days watching Bruce Lee movies and Bert getting his feelings systematically demolished, and the moment he found out Patrice had tweeted something kind about him right before the stroke. Tom and Bert also spiral deep into funeral planning — who's required to show up, who gets a Sandler video instead of a live appearance, why Ari's funeral is going to involve hardcore Brooklyn relatives and a lot of confusion, the Andrew Schultz balloon clown apology Bert wants delivered posthumously, and whether or not to get cremated when science might figure something out. Plus: horror movies vs. comedy movies as investments, the film Obsession and its director Curry Baker, Bert's dad crashing the podcast mid-funeral conversation, the band Goose vs. the band Geese, and Mount Joy watching Passion of the Christ on the tour bus. 2 Bears, 1 Cave Ep. 331 https://tomsegura.com/tourhttps://www.bertbertbert.com/tourhttps://store.ymhstudios.com In Partnership with DraftKings.
