Spring Forward Sunday showed no mercy this year. Losing that hour hit everyone a little harder than expected. Andrew bumbled his way through week 26 of preaching through the Gospel of John and somehow made it to the closing prayer. Twenty six weeks in and still going strong… or at least still going.Frank had a big week on the church planting front. Cross & Crown officially has a storage unit now, which means things are getting real. They also picked up some helpful hand-me-downs from a defunct church plant, the classic church planting tradition of holy recycling. Frank also visited his wife's home church and reconnected with people from his early days in ministry, which was both encouraging and a little nostalgic.Joining us this week is our friend Zach, a missionary serving in the Czech Republic. He gives us a window into the unique ministry context of Central Europe, what faith looks like in one of the most secular regions in the world, and how the gospel is still quietly changing lives there.It's a conversation about ministry at home and abroad, surviving the time change, and remembering that God is at work in places both familiar and far away.

A deleted file recovered from Rex Heuermann's basement allegedly contains the Long Island Serial Killer's step-by-step methodology. According to prosecutors, eighty-seven details match how the Gilgo Beach victims were killed.The document—titled HK2002-04—was found on one of fifty-eight hard drives seized from the Massapequa Park home. Created in 2000 and modified through 2002, it allegedly contained sections for supplies, body preparation, and "lessons learned."According to court documents: A "Supplies" section allegedly listed cutting tools, acid, tarps, and cat litter. A "Body Prep" section allegedly stated: "remove head and hands, remove ID marks like tattoos." A "Things to Remember" section allegedly contained: "Hit harder... light rope broke under stress." The document allegedly referenced specific pages in FBI profiler John Douglas's Mindhunter.Jessica Taylor's remains were found along Ocean Parkway with her head removed and tattoos mutilated. DA Ray Tierney stated: "The exact method by which these murders were committed in excruciating detail in that document is in some cases identical to the methodology used to murder the victims."Twenty-seven years under the same roof produced two completely opposite conclusions. Rex Heuermann's wife Asa Ellerup still calls him her "hero" and described jail visits as feeling like "a first date." Their daughter Victoria says he's "most likely the Gilgo Beach serial killer" after speaking with BTK's daughter about having an alleged killer for a father.According to prosecutors, female hairs found on multiple victims were allegedly consistent with DNA from both women. Neither is accused of involvement—the transfer allegedly came from Rex's clothing or their home.The daughter saw what the wife cannot. Both are victims of different truths.Rex Heuermann has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Twenty-five years of sworn statements defending Michael Jackson. Testimony at his 2005 trial. A book. National television appearances. Now all five Cascio siblings are suing, alleging Jackson drugged, raped, and trafficked them since childhood.The estate is calling it extortion. A hearing this week determines whether this case goes public—or gets sealed in arbitration.Former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins True Crime Today to break down the legal battle, the credibility nightmare, and what happens when longtime defenders become accusers.The Cascios already signed a settlement with the estate in 2019—reportedly $690,000 per sibling per year for five years. It included confidentiality, non-disparagement, and mandatory arbitration clauses. They collected. Now they want out, claiming the agreement was signed under duress without proper legal counsel.The estate wants this in arbitration, where proceedings stay private. The Cascio attorneys say that's "an illegal tactic to silence victims." If the estate wins the hearing, nothing that happens next will be public.Eric Faddis examines the legal standards: what it takes to void a settlement you've cashed, how devastating 25 years of defense testimony is to a credibility argument, and what federal sex trafficking law actually requires when the defendant has been dead since 2009.There's also the question of alleged threats. The estate's attorney claims the Cascio legal team threatened to "expand the circle of knowledge"—leak the allegations—right as Sony was finalizing a $600 million catalog deal. Extortion or negotiation?The Cascios say Leaving Neverland in 2019 "deprogrammed" them. The estate says the timing says everything.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What if honesty is the only sales strategy you ever needed? In this episode, Kevin sits down with Don Williams, founder of Don Williams Global and a sales and leadership coach with over 30 years of experience. Don works primarily with founder-led businesses under $100 million, helping them grow their top line fast. He started selling at 19, became the top rep out of 450 within months, and has since worked with more than half of the Fortune 500. His core belief has never changed: the foundation of all sales and leadership is trust, and the only way to build it is to be trustworthy. The relationship that transformed Don's life: a man he met in downtown Fort Worth at a meeting he knew was never going to close. Don was so impressed that before leaving he looked at the man and said, we are not doing business today, and I think that's the right thing. But I've only told a couple of people this in my life: you and I, someday, somehow, some way, we will work together and do great things. Two years later the man called. They spent nearly a decade doing significant work in the insurance industry, and at one point Don bought a house from his sight unseen simply because he trusted him completely. Their paths diverged, then reconnected again, and Don now expects them to be a near-household name in AI within the next 18 months. Twenty-five years, two business chapters, and a third just getting started.   [00:02:31] Noah Rosenfarb: The Introduction Behind This Episode Noah Rosenfarb introduced Kevin and Don, telling Don simply that Kevin has your vibe. Don says he and Kevin are like brothers from other mothers. Both agree it worked because Noah already had deep trust with each of them. [00:04:00] What Don Does: Helping Businesses Bring More Money in the Door Don spent 30 years with Fortune 500 companies before shifting to founder-led businesses. He helps clients raise their top line, which solves about half of all business problems. He took one client from the edge of bankruptcy to $1.5 million in 2025, projecting $5 million this year. [00:05:20] What Inspires Him: Helping People Who Help People Don describes himself as a giver whose mission is to help people who help other people. He only takes on work that feeds that personal mission. The bigger the ripple, the better. [00:08:00] Build the Best Team, Not a Team That Looks Like You Don used to hire people who thought and worked exactly like him, and says that was a mistake. The best teams have diverse viewpoints, thought patterns, and skill sets, like a football team. A leader's only two jobs are to cast the vision relentlessly and then go get the best people to make it real. [00:12:20] The Origin Story: A 19-Year-Old with a 67% Closing Rate Don dropped engineering when a part-time sales job out-earned his future degree. Within months he was the top rep out of 450 with a 67% closing rate, double the company average. He credits brutal honesty: people buy from someone who tells the truth. [00:15:57] The Foundational Principle: Be Trustworthy Don sold 17 houses in his first month in real estate, every one on the first visit. Trust is the foundational skill of all sales and leadership. Do what you say you will do and you will stand out. [00:17:40] The Google Stat Nobody Acts On The first vendor to speak with a customer wins the deal 71% of the time. If no one answers, they call the next business on the list. Answering the phone is one of the easiest ways to beat the competition. [00:19:00] The Client Results That Rock His World A client on the edge of bankruptcy closed 2025 at $1.5 million and is projecting $5 million this year. Don loves working with highly intelligent people who are sometimes low on emotional intelligence. All influence happens at the emotional level: the brain might veto something crazy, but the heart gets what the heart wants. [00:22:26] The Relationship That Changed Everything Don met a man at a meeting he knew would never close and told him they would work together someday. Two years later the man called, and they spent nearly a decade in the insurance industry together. Twenty-five years on they are building something in AI that Don expects to make them a near-household name. [00:24:40] The Business He Gave Away at 5 O'Clock Don opened a second business to support a sick friend, then gave the whole operation away when his friend passed. At 5 PM he told Dave it would be his at 5:01 or gone forever, and gave it away for free. Don buried Dave at the National Cemetery in Dallas this year and says no bank balance replaces relationships that mean something. [00:37:07] Final Thought: You Are Stronger Than You Think All success in life starts with how you see yourself. Your reality will follow your thoughts. His favorite quote, from Christopher Robin: you are far better, far smarter, and far stronger than you think.   KEY QUOTES "The foundational skill of all influence, whether it's leadership or sales, is trust. And if you want to build trust, be trustworthy. Do what you say you're gonna do. That will shock people, because they're not used to it." - Don Williams "Google stats say that the first potential vendor, the first potential service provider that speaks with the customer, wins the deal 71% of the time." - Don Williams "All your business success and all your awards and all those commas on your bank account won't make any difference if you don't like who you are and if you don't have relationships with people that mean something." - Don Williams CONNECT WITH DON WILLIAMS

The prosecution just presented what could be the most damaging day of testimony against Kouri Richins: the finances. A forensic accountant walked jurors through a business that was "imploding," a pattern of bounced checks, hard money loans stacking up, and a net worth of negative $1.6 million by the day after Eric Richins died.Former felony prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis analyzes every angle of the financial motive argument and explains where the prosecution is strongest—and where the defense can exploit weaknesses.The timeline is brutal for Kouri. December 2021: she commits to buying a $2.9 million mansion with no renovation money and loans coming due. March 4, 2022: Eric dies. March 5: she closes on the mansion. One week later: she lists it for sale. Prosecutors say that's premeditation written in real estate transactions.But the defense hammered back. Eric was listed on the HELOC Kouri allegedly took out without telling him—he could've checked anytime. His accounts were healthy. His masonry business was solid. The family account always had money. Defense attorney Kathy Nester wants jurors to ask: if things were so desperate, why didn't Eric notice?Eric Faddis explains the legal standard for turning financial evidence into murder motive, why Kouri's belief about life insurance matters even though Eric had changed beneficiaries, and what the $25,000 she allegedly sent to a boyfriend after Eric's death reveals about the case.Twenty-six fraud charges are being tried alongside murder. Is that overkill—or proof?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Boca del Infierno, Puerto RicoMarch 5, 1825Three nations set a trap at the Mouth of Hell, and the Caribbean's most wanted pirate sailed right into it. Roberto Cofresí was the son of an Austrian nobleman who'd fled a murder charge and a Puerto Rican mother from one of the island's founding families. Noble blood, empty pockets. When colonial Puerto Rico collapsed around him, Cofresí took to the sea with a fast sloop and a crew of men who had nothing left to lose. He robbed merchant vessels from six nations, attacked a U.S. Navy warship, and became a folk hero to the poor criollos of the coast. It took an alliance of Spain, the United States, and Denmark to bring him down. Twenty-four days after his capture, a firing squad at El Morro ended the pirate. The legend was just getting started.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-historian--2909311/support.You can pay more if you want to, but rent at the Safe House is still just a buck a week, and you can get access to over 400 ad-free episodes from the dusty vault, Safe House Exclusives, direct access to the Boss, and whatever personal services you require.We invite you to our other PULPULAR MEDIA podcasts:If disaster is more your jam, check out CATASTROPHIC CALAMITIES, telling the stories of famous and forgotten tragedies of the 19th and 20th centuries. What could go wrong?

The story of Purim is well known: in ancient Persia, a wicked royal vizier plots to wipe out the Jewish people — but he didn't count on Queen Esther, a courageous Jewish woman who revealed the plot to the king. The tables were turned for the Jews as the powerful are victimized by their intended victims; those who were once low are brought high, those who were once high are brought low. When Israel and the U.S. launched a joint military campaign on Iran on Shabbat Zachor, just days before the festival of Purim, it was almost inevitable that politicians, rabbis, and Jews around the world would see themselves in the Book of Esther. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made the connection explicit in his first statement announcing the strikes: “Twenty-five hundred years ago, in ancient Persia, a tyrant rose against us with the very same goal, to utterly destroy our people,” Netanyahu said. “Today as well, on Purim, the lot has fallen, and in the end this evil regime will fall too.” Each week, rabbis stand before their congregations and find connections and explanations about how the Torah portion speaks to their modern lives. They try to give structure and meaning to a world that often feels chaotic. On this week's episode of Not in Heaven, our rabbi podcasters ask: what do we risk when we draw these connections too tightly? Avi Finegold and Matthew Leibl discuss what may be lost in understanding the modern day when we look through the lens of Purim and what is lost in understanding Purim when we look through the lens of the modern day.

It's Wednesday, March 4th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Timothy Reed Pray for the Middle East Please pray for Christians in the Middle East as tensions rise in the region. Christian communities, like those in Iran, are especially vulnerable during times of escalating violence. Regina Lynch with Aid to the Church in Need warned, “The longing for freedom and dignity among peoples in the region is legitimate. But the price of renewed war could be extremely high. Civilians always suffer most, and Christians are often among the most defenseless.”  U.S.-Iranian conflict might last four weeks U.S. President Donald Trump recently said the conflict with Iran may continue over the next four weeks. The United States and Israel carried out sweeping airstrikes against the country over the weekend. The American death toll in the conflict reached six troops as of Monday.  The U.S. State Department is urging Americans to leave over a dozen countries in the Middle East. Those include Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Israel.   Supreme Court rules against radical transgender policy The U.S. Supreme Court ruled against California's pro-transgender school policy on Monday. The policy allowed public school officials to keep the gender confusion of students from their parents. Worse than that, school officials even helped students “transition” without their parents knowledge.  Paul Jonna, Special Counsel at Thomas More Society, commented, “The Court's landmark . . . vindication of religious liberty . . . [sets] an historic precedent that will dismantle secret gender transition policies across the country.” The State of the Unborn: GOP should not leave fight to states The pro-life movement is continuing strong, but not without its challenges. That's according to Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser in her “State of the Unborn” address.  Listen to her thoughts on why the fight for life must continue. DANNENFELSER: “Now consider the great battles the pro-life movement has won after over a half a century of struggle:  electing a pro-life president, confirming the Supreme Court justices who would reverse Roe v Wade with the Dobbs decision, and restore the right to uphold the 14th Amendment's equal protection promise in the law.  "The handcuffs are off. We are free to protect the human rights of people. We live in a fresh moment filled with hope for our children, and yet, there are now more abortions than before Dobbs -- at least 1.1 million a year.  "More than 60% of those deaths are caused by abortion drugs, and that's more than fentanyl, cocaine and heroin related deaths combined. Abortion is the number one cause of death in the United States of America.” Dannenfelser went on to challenge the Republican Party. She said, “The current GOP strategy of leaving this issue to the states clearly does not work. Twenty pro-life states can't even enforce their laws because of mail-order abortion drugs.” Proverbs 31:9 says, “Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.” Trump's Transportation Dept: No illegals allowed commercial licenses Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is imposing new rules in order for truckers to obtain a Commercial Driver's License. This comes as the Trump administration continues to fight illegal immigration, including within the trucking industry, where illegal drivers have killed a number of Americans. Duffy laid out his expectations for U.S. commercial drivers. DUFFY: “This is not politics that we're playing here. We can have a debate about whether Joe Biden had an open border or Donald Trump shut down and secured the border. That's a different debate. “The debate really is, ‘Do you want well-trained, well-qualified drivers behind the wheel of a big rig driving on American roads?' It's very simple. I think the answer is: Every single American, no matter what your political stripes are, doesn't are, that's exactly what you want. “That's what you would expect from the federal government and the state government. To a greater extent, I think we need our states to say, ‘Listen, we can be good partners.'” Truckers will now be required to take their Commercial Driver's License test in English. Plus, many states have worked hard with the federal government to take reckless truck drivers off the roads. YouVersion Bible app sees high engagement in Kenya, Nigeria, & South Africa And finally, the Bible app YouVersion launched its latest regional hub in Kenya last week.  The Bible app is seeing strong growth across countries in Africa. Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa rank among the top countries for daily Bible engagement, not just in Africa but also the world.  YouVersion CEO and founder Bobby Gruenewald told Christian Daily International, “Some people have predicted that Africa would become the center of global Christianity. From what we're seeing, I think it already is.” Isaiah 11:9 says, “The earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, March 4th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Stocking Classrooms, Building FuturesA first-year teacher stands in an empty classroom with a key in her hand and a knot in her stomach. Twenty-six desks. Bare walls. One loud thought: School starts soon, and the room has almost nothing.Dr. Megan Brown, an associate professor of education at Cedarville University, knows that moment well. Coursework can cover research and best practices. Training can shape strong habits. Still, the first year in a real classroom brings a different kind of weight — especially when the space begins as a blank slate.Megan teaches literacy courses to future educators, and she talks plainly about what teaching requires. Learning is hands-on. Students need materials in their fingers so ideas can stick in their minds. Yet school budgets only stretch so far. Families can only do so much. Teachers often fill the gaps with their own money: pencils, tissues, notebooks, cleaning supplies, even backpacks. For a new teacher, those costs add up quickly.That's where Malena Ball comes in. A 2022 Cedarville graduate with a degree in strategic communication, Malena now serves as marketing director for Crayons to Classrooms. In that role, she helps connect educators to practical, personal support. The Dayton-area nonprofit provides free classroom supplies for teachers in 144 schools, reaching more than 50,000 students through the teachers it serves.Malena has watched teachers push carts down the aisles and still expect a bill. “How much do I owe?” they ask, looking at the price tags left on some items to show their value. Volunteers smile back. “Nothing.” Relief softens shoulders, and gratitude shows up as tears. Being seen does that.Crayons to Classrooms stocks the consumables that disappear by October — glue sticks, erasers, paper, pencils. But Malena calls it more than a resource center. It's a care center. Teachers find air filters, hygiene products, Band-Aids, sanitizer, and tissues. Those supplies don't just serve learning. They support dignity, comfort, and confidence.Megan watched one new teacher arrive after visiting her classroom for the first time. Empty room. End of July. No paycheck yet. She left with two full carts squeezed into a small car and a face filled with relief. Now there was something to build with.That “something” reaches far past academics.

This week we bounce from weddings with questionable video evidence to universal vaccines, rogue dubstep artists named after shingles shots, and a time-loop story that left us… conflicted. Let's get into it. Real Life Ben officiated a wedding. It was beautiful. It was meaningful. It was legally binding. There may or may not be video proof. Somewhere, there's a phone with 3% battery and a shaky clip of vows. Or maybe not. Either way, two people are married and that's what counts. If you're going to officiate a wedding, here's the lesson: double-check the recording situation. Memory is not a backup drive. Ben also discovered that in newer versions of iOS, you can type to Siri. This is huge for anyone who has ever whispered a text into their phone in public and immediately regretted it. We are slowly evolving into silent thumb-typers talking to machines. The future is polite and awkward. Devon talked about how he uses ChatGPT — not casually, but intentionally. He uses it for work. He uses it to rewrite drafts, fix spelling, tighten arguments. Think of it as a second-pass editor that doesn't get tired. He went deeper into why he chose to pay for it and what "professional analysis" even means in an AI context. If you're billing by the hour, clarity matters. He also raised the question: does LexisNexis have AI baked in now? (Short answer: of course they do. Long answer: it depends how you define AI, which is half the battle in 2026.) Ben uses "AI" differently — mostly for data sifting. Large piles of information. Pattern spotting. Less magic robot, more extremely fast intern. Steven admitted he uses ChatGPT to help generate episode notes and images. If you're creating consistently, tools matter. The question isn't "Is this cheating?" The question is: "Are you using the tool to think better or to think less?" Big difference. We also watched The First Minute of Demi Adejuyigbe Is Going To Do One (1) Backflip — and yes, he does the backflip. Watch the full clip on YouTube and the full special on Dropout. Demi Adejuyigbe (pronounced DEM-ee ə-DIJ-oo-EE-bay) is sharp, chaotic, and there's a killer Marge Simpson joke in the full show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kveA4wgIhI  Speaking of Marge — Marge Simpson is not dead. The French voice actress passed away. RIP. The character remains immortal yellow. Ben also plugged his ekphrastic poetry workshop — Write Poems with Me — happening Saturday 3/7 at the Beacon Art Show or online. If you've been waiting for a sign to try poetry, this is it. Show up. Make weird art. https://buttondown.com/penciledin/archive/write-poems-with-me-saturday-37-at-the-beacon-art/  Future or Now Steven brought in a wild one: a possible "universal" vaccine from researchers at Stanford Medicine. Instead of targeting a specific virus, this nasal spray supercharges the lungs' immune defenses. In mice, it reduced viral load, prevented severe illness, and even blocked allergic reactions. COVID. Flu. Pneumonia. Allergens. If this holds up in humans, that's not incremental. That's foundational. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/02/260222092258.htm  Ben followed with research suggesting shingles vaccines might lower dementia risk. Studies around the shingles vaccines Zostavax and Shingrix have shown reduced dementia incidence in vaccinated older adults. There's also data suggesting the vaccine may slow biological aging markers, including inflammation. https://arstechnica.com/health/2026/02/could-a-vaccine-prevent-dementia-shingles-shot-data-only-getting-stronger/  This is where Steven held his jokes until the very end. Zostavax and Shingrix are dubstep artists. "Twenty Year Window" is their debut collaboration. "Dementia" is their first single. Sometimes you need the bit. But seriously — if preventing viral reactivation reduces neuroinflammation and long-term cognitive decline, that's massive. It's early. It's correlation-heavy. But it's promising. Pay attention to this space. Book Club This week: All You Zombies by Robert A. Heinlein (1958). https://lecturia.org/en/short-stories/robert-a-heinlein-all-you-zombies/19420/  Time travel. Identity loops. Paradoxes stacked on paradoxes. There are also… problems. Ben had major issues with the problematic elements. And they're not small issues. The story reflects the era it was written in, and not in a flattering way. Devon didn't love the no-stakes feeling. When a story collapses into inevitability, tension can evaporate. If everything always already happened, what are we gripping onto? Steven's take: the story is valuable as a historical artifact. It shows where science fiction was. You can see the mechanics. The ambition. The blind spots. You don't have to endorse it to learn from it. That's maturity in reading: understanding context without pretending flaws don't exist. Next week, we're reading Presence by Ken Liu, published in Uncanny Magazine. Ken Liu tends to blend emotional precision with speculative ideas, so expect something thoughtful. https://www.uncannymagazine.com/article/presence/  Read it. Come ready. Final Thought This episode circled one big theme whether we meant to or not: Tools. AI tools. Medical tools. Narrative tools. Historical tools. The question isn't whether tools change the world. They do. The question is whether we're using them deliberately. So here's your small challenge this week: Pick one tool you're already using — AI, writing software, research databases, even your phone — and ask yourself: Am I using this to sharpen my thinking? Or to avoid it? Be honest. We'll see you next week.

This week, I talk with Juliet Izon about her debut contemporary fiction novel The Encore. Listen now to hear about: How Izon, a longtime journalist pivoted into fiction, writing secret scenes at night, cold-DMing composers on Reddit for research, and building a debut novel from pure creative obsession Fame, artistic ambition, and complicated family dynamics, especially the mother-daughter tension between Anna and Lottie, and what happens when talent and identity collide The craft details that make this fictional music world feel real: tour bus logistics, conservatory life, perfect pitch, scoring scenes with playlists, and why the book's title changed from Arpeggio to The Encore The Encore Synopsis In 2003, at the prestigious Brookfield Conservatory in Boston, a chance encounter sparks an inimitable friendship between driven pianist and singer Anna Buckley and composer wunderkind Will Pendleton. Over the next four years, as they strive toward careers as professional musicians, their bond deepens both from shared prodigious skill and the inexplicable sense that they're kindred souls. But on the precipice of graduation, one night forever alters the trajectory of their lives, destroying their relationship in the process. Twenty years later in New York, 16-year-old piano virtuoso Lottie Thomas is grappling with the rigors of her elite prep school and the confounding disappearance of the woman who gave her up at birth. When Lottie suddenly discovers the startling truth of her identity, the revelation catalyzes a chain of events that not only reunites Lottie with her birth parents, but forces them together on a careening, cross-country rock and roll tour-bus journey. And it is there, trapped in these tight confines, that the three must finally reconcile with the irrevocable choices made a decade-and-a-half earlier.

In 1953, the United States helped stage a coup to overthrow Iran's democratically elected prime minister, largely a response to the Iranian leader's nationalization of the oil industry. Twenty-six years later, revolutionaries stormed the U.S. embassy in Tehran just months after having deposed the U.S. installed King. Since then, the relationship between these two nations has been defined by sanctions, proxy battles, covert operations, nuclear diplomacy, political assassinations, deep mutual mistrust, and now a war.How did we get here?

From Dream to Reality Winchester's dining scene welcomes a fresh voice as Bistro Sojo opens its doors, bringing Mediterranean and tropical flavors to downtown Winchester. Host of The Valley Today, Janet Michael and cohost Justin Kerns from VisitWinchesterVA.com sit down with owners Felix and Martha Addison to uncover the story behind Winchester's most talked-about new restaurant. The Addisons didn't rush into this venture. After moving to the area from Reston, Virginia in 2006, they harbored dreams of opening a restaurant but recognized the timing wasn't right. Instead, they built their reputation gradually, launching their first food truck, Roaming Bistro, in 2016. Two years later, they added Three Fires Pizza, a mobile wood-fired operation serving Neapolitan-style pizza. For years, loyal customers asked the inevitable question: "When are you getting a storefront?" "You don't get a storefront because people want to see a storefront," Felix explains. "You get a storefront when everything is sustainable." That moment finally arrived in late 2024. The Space That Feels Like Home Walking into Bistro Sojo reveals an immediate transformation from its previous incarnation as La Nicoise. Martha knew exactly what she wanted the moment she saw the space, though Felix admits he had no vision at first. Working with architect Kyle Hopkins of Four Square Architects, they turned Martha's dream into reality. The building's age dictated the design approach. "I couldn't make the ceilings higher," Martha notes. "So I couldn't do the modern stuff. But I could do the cozy." The result feels welcoming rather than imposing, with artwork playing a central role in the atmosphere. Local nonprofit Arte Libre created stunning murals throughout the space, while Zach Anderson painted the striking Royal Birds mural at the reception area and bar. The artwork serves a deeply personal purpose—the little girl in one mural reminds Martha of her daughter, while ocean scenes transport diners to distant shores. Meanwhile, vibrant orange flowers beneath the bar captivate visitors, with Janet confessing she's been contemplating recreating the design on a wall at home. Despite the spacious feel, the restaurant actually seats fewer guests than the previous establishment. The building's occupancy limit, which had been grandfathered in for years, came under scrutiny when the Addisons applied for permits. What was once zoned for 65 now accommodates about 50, including staff. Yet clever design makes the space feel larger and more open than before. A Name Rooted in Family The restaurant's name carries profound meaning. Sojo combines the first syllables of Sophia (Felix's mother) and Jonathan (his father), while also honoring the couple's two children, who bear those same names. "It's a hard J," Felix emphasizes. "It's not Soho. It's Sojo." This family connection extends beyond the name into every aspect of the operation, from the recipes tested at home on dinner guests to the warm hospitality that greets every visitor. The Menu: A Culinary Passport Bistro Sojo takes diners on what Felix calls "a culinary journey from the Mediterranean to the tropics." The menu draws inspiration from Southern Mediterranean and North African cuisines, incorporating warm spices that create depth without heat. Cardamom, nutmeg, star anise, and cloves meld together in unexpected combinations, each dish featuring three or four carefully selected spices that complement the main ingredients. The philosophy borrows from Blue Zone regions, areas where populations reportedly live the longest based on their diets. "We try to make sure we are cognizant of the food that we serve," Felix explains. The kitchen doesn't even have a microwave—everything arrives freshly cooked and freshly sauced. Seasonal ingredients drive the menu, with the Addisons partnering with Chilly Hollow Farm in Berryville for produce. "Whatever they have is what I would make sure I have in here," Martha says. This commitment to seasonality means the menu evolves, with hearty oxtail dishes giving way to spring peas and fresh greens as the weather warms. Current standouts include the surprisingly popular chicken and couscous, the beloved squash and burrata salad, and an unexpected hit—grilled romaine with house-made blue cheese dressing. Meanwhile, Martha's personal favorites lean toward the vegetable-forward dishes, particularly the fried plantains with beans. Remarkably, 98-99% of everything comes from scratch, made in-house. The commitment to quality and transparency stems from knowing exactly what goes into every dish. The Drink That Won Hearts Before even discussing the food, Justin finds himself captivated by a house specialty drink. What he initially assumes came from a container in the back turns out to be Sobolo, a popular West African beverage made from fresh ingredients. The recipe calls for dried hibiscus leaves, freshly grated ginger, freshly squeezed lemons, handfuls of cloves, and star anise. After steeping and straining, the mixture chills before being poured over ice. The result serves as both a palate cleanser and thirst quencher, while also forming the base for all house cocktails. One particular cocktail, the Muddy Waters, earned recognition at Winchester on the Rocks. Initially, the drink's sandy, grainy appearance seemed problematic, but attempts to refine it diminished the flavor Felix loved. The solution? Own it. The name became a tribute to blues icon Muddy Waters, who happened to be a bourbon drinker himself—the cocktail's key spirit. Welcoming Everyone to the Table Personal experience shapes the restaurant's inclusive approach to dining. When Martha's son was young, he had borderline celiac disease. Twenty years ago, finding restaurants that understood gluten-free needs proved nearly impossible. "Most people didn't even know they had allergies," Martha recalls. "They just lived sick." The family started cooking at home, making meals special despite the restrictions. That experience now informs every menu decision at Bistro Sojo. Guests can find gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan options throughout the menu. "You can come with any of your sensitivities and intolerances and know that there's an option for you," Martha promises. Justin emphasizes the tourism significance of this commitment. Travelers with allergies often feel anxious about dining away from their safe home restaurants. When Winchester's tourism office works with travel writers and groups, dietary accommodations consistently rank as a top concern. Having restaurants that take sensitivities seriously makes Winchester a safer, more welcoming destination. Standing Out in Winchester's Dining Scene The Addisons deliberately chose a menu unlike anything else in Winchester. "We would not want to do what most of the restaurants were doing because they were doing it so well," Felix explains. "We weren't gonna compete with them doing what they do so well." Instead, they turned to what they naturally cooked at home—Mediterranean and tropical cuisines that reflected their heritage and passion. Most dishes on the menu underwent testing with dinner guests at home before ever reaching the restaurant, ensuring each one met their exacting standards. This uniqueness serves Winchester's tourism mission perfectly. Visitors seek locally owned establishments offering flavors they can't find at home. They want stories to share when they return—tales of discovering a restaurant named after the owner's parents, sipping an award-winning hibiscus cocktail, or experiencing cuisine inspired by the world's healthiest populations. "That's what people are looking for," Justin notes. "Unique stories. So they can go home and say, 'I went to this restaurant that was named after his mom and his dad, they have the best drink, this is a unique thing.'" Bistro Sojo delivers exactly that experience. The Brunch Experience Beyond dinner service Wednesday through Saturday (4:00 PM to 9:00 PM, last reservation at 8:30), Bistro Sojo offers Sunday brunch from 10:30 AM to 3:00 PM. While brunch is still building momentum since launching in late November, the Addisons welcome walk-ins during this time. Janet, admittedly not a morning person, celebrates the timing. "I don't believe that eight, nine o'clock should exist ever, especially not on a weekend," she jokes. "A brunch at 10 or 10:30, particularly on a Sunday, is right up my alley." Planning Your Visit The intimate 40-seat space means reservations become essential on busy nights. While two-person walk-ins usually find accommodation, larger parties should book ahead, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. Wednesday and Thursday evenings offer the best chance for spontaneous visits. When First Fridays returns to downtown Winchester's pedestrian mall, the restaurant expects even higher demand. Guests can make reservations online through bistrosojo.com or via Google, embracing the convenience modern diners appreciate. As for whether the restaurant welcomes families with children, Martha offers an honest assessment. While they've accommodated kids, the adventurous menu might challenge picky eaters. However, the kitchen keeps some "American-friendly" emergency backup options for children who won't eat anything on the regular menu. Janet appreciates this candor, noting she's reached the stage of life where dining without children appeals to her. The intimate setting naturally encourages conversation between neighboring tables, with guests sometimes exchanging phone numbers after bonding over the food and experience. A Labor of Love From food trucks to fine dining, the Addisons' journey spans nearly two decades of preparation. Their brick-and-mortar dream required patience, planning, and the help of skilled local partners—from architect Kyle Hopkins to the artists who brought the space to life, to the farmers who supply fresh ingredients. "We asked for this, we wanted this, and we've been waiting for this," Felix reflects. The result transforms a meal into an experience, offering Winchester and its visitors something genuinely new: warm flavors, inclusive hospitality, and a story worth sharing. As Winchester continues growing as a destination, Bistro Sojo adds an essential ingredient to the mix—a restaurant that welcomes everyone to the table while serving cuisine that can't be found anywhere else in the region. Whether you're a local looking for your new favorite spot or a visitor seeking that unique dining experience to tell friends about back home, Sojo delivers a journey worth taking.

Change is coming whether you're ready for it or not. That's not doom — that's just where we are. AI is reshaping everything, and if you're in that 35-55 range, you're probably feeling it hit harder than most. Today we're talking about Operation Reinvention — not the kind where you blow everything up and start over, but the smart kind. The kind where one simple question cuts through all the noise and shows you exactly where to move next. You don't need a perfect plan. You just need the right question. Featured Story I didn't see launching this show as a total reinvention when I started in 2004. I came from radio, voiceover, TV, film — the whole media world, years of commercial work, film trailers, all of it. But I didn't want to keep selling cars and furniture. I wanted to help people. So I changed what I talked about, kept the same skills, and let that be enough. One small shift. Twenty-plus years later, we're still here. Reinvention doesn't mean burning it all down. It means taking everything you've already earned — the experience, the wisdom, the hard-won skills — and redirecting where it all goes. Important Points Most people don't need a total reinvention — they just need to redirect about 20% of what they're already doing. AI is hitting mid-career people the hardest, and the fair thing about it is that nobody knows what comes next. The reason most people stay stuck isn't fear — they just don't know what kind of plan they're even supposed to need. Memorable Quotes "Most of my day is unplanned — and the best things I've ever done in my life came from exactly that kind of freedom." "I don't always know what I'm moving toward — but I know exactly what it looks like when it's wrong, and that's enough." "When you break it all down to that level of simplicity, you start to breathe — and the ideas just start finding you." Scott's Three-Step Approach Accept that something has to change — not because it's scary, but because it's already happening with or without you. Ask one question: what single change would automatically and positively disrupt everything and put me in a better place? Move toward that answer — even without a full plan, because the path usually shows itself once you start going.

Bryan Clayton started mowing lawns as a teenager with a push mower. Twenty years later, he's the CEO of GreenPal — the app Entrepreneur Magazine calls “the Uber for lawn care.” Before GreenPal, Bryan built one of Tennessee's largest landscaping companies, growing it to over $10 million a year before selling it. Now he's doing it again — this time with technology. GreenPal connects 300,000 homeowners with reliable lawn pros, handling thousands of jobs every day all over the US. Bryan is on a mission to bring AI into one of the oldest industries out there — helping small lawn care businesses use data and automation to compete like big companies. From pushing a mower to building a $30 million tech platform, Bryan's story is all about grit, adaptation, and how old-school hard work can thrive in a high-tech world.

In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, I am coming off one of the highest moments we have ever experienced as a team. Ignite 2026 was the biggest one yet. The energy. The recognition. The collaboration. The stories. The numbers. The celebration. I could barely sleep that night because I was watching it unfold from perspectives I do not always get to see. Behind the scenes, Carla and I are focused on execution. But through social media, through your messages, through your faces, I got to witness what it meant to you. And that is when something hit me. Every single year, people walk up to us and tell us what they are going to accomplish next year. Ten million. Fifteen million. Twenty million. And almost every single time, the ones who say it and commit to it actually do it. But here is the tension. There is a difference between declaring something with conviction and announcing something for a dopamine hit. In today's world, you can post that you are starting a diet, running a marathon, building a business, and immediately get applause. Congratulations. Fire emojis. Likes. Validation. And that initial rush can feel just like the accomplishment itself. It feels done before the work even begins. That is dangerous. Because when the lights turn off, when the music stops, when the stage is gone, you are left with the same marriage, the same finances, the same limiting beliefs, the same pipeline, the same habits. And if you are not grounded, that vision that felt so certain at Ignite can feel overwhelming just a few days later. So the real question is this. Who are you when things do not go your way? Right before Ignite started, we realized we had signed off on a much larger expense than expected. A surprise bill. A big one. It would have been easy to get frustrated. To lower my energy. To let it throw off the entire event. But how can I stand on that stage and ask you to go for ten million if I let a surprise expense shake my belief in abundance? The moment tested me. And that is what I need you to understand. You do not become a ten million dollar producer when everything is perfect. You become one in how you respond when it is not. If an appraisal comes in low and you spiral, you are not there yet. If a binzer does not go your way and you shut down, you are not there yet. If one client disrupts your momentum and your energy drops, you are not there yet. The numbers you wrote down at Ignite are possible. I believe that fully. But you have to stop chasing the high and start building the foundation. Events like Ignite are the cherry on top. They are not the foundation. The foundation is built in the in between. It is built in the daily deposits. The power deposits. The purpose deposits. The profit deposits. It is built when you post one video today instead of promising five every day and burning out by Wednesday. It is built when you upload ten contacts into your CRM instead of saying you are going to rebuild your entire database in one sitting. It is built when you follow up today. Not when you feel like it. Not when motivation is high. Today. The top producers who spoke on that panel did not get there by accident. It was strategic. It was methodical. It was disciplined. They got mentally right. Physically right. Spiritually right. Emotionally right. Then they executed. That is not a concept anymore. It is a fact. And the fact is this. You do not need to go chase conferences, happy hours, or environments that sell you a false narrative. You do not need constant highs. You need consistent wins. When I used to chase that conference high, I would come home depleted. Irritable. Blaming my circumstances. Because reality did not match the energy of the stage. That is addiction. That is not growth. Growth is when your baseline is strong enough that even your worst day is still better than your old life. That is what we are building here. Some people avoided Ignite because they were ashamed. Maybe they did not get the award they wanted. Maybe they did not get one at all. But hiding from reality does not help you grow. Facing it does. You should have been on that stage. If you were not, that is not shame. That is information. Now do something with it. Between now and your next review, what are you going to change? Not next year. Not someday. Today. Swing for singles. Get on base. Win today. The grand slam comes when you stack enough singles. If all of you hit the numbers you declared, we are looking at over a billion dollars in production collectively. That is not fantasy. That is math. But math only works when the daily inputs are consistent. You do not work up to a client. You work through a client. You do not stop when you get an appointment. You keep running the race. You do not pass the baton. You stay in motion. And above all, you cannot get thrown off by the small things. The next level version of you does not respond with frustration. They respond with composure. They respond with solutions. They respond with discipline. Ignite set a new bar. But we do not top fire dancers and sparklers with more theatrics. We top it with more of you on stage. That is how we win. Now the question is simple. Are you willing to want it more than I want it for you? Reflection Questions When things do not go your way, what is your automatic response and does it align with the level of producer you say you want to become? What are three small deposits you can make today that move you closer to your declared number?

Six months ago, Mindful Mondays began as a simple weekly pause - a space to soften into presence and honour the neurodivergent nervous system.Twenty-six episodes later, something far more coherent has emerged.In this special half-year reflection, Ashley traces the living map that has been quietly forming beneath the surface - from radical acceptance and time reframing, to forest wisdom and the art of allowing… from nervous system cartography and breath as bridge, to loving-kindness, radical permission, and the true architecture of change.Together, we revisit the core sequence that has shaped this journey:Presence.Allowing.Regulation.Story.Compassion.Breakthrough.Resilience.Sensitivity as strength.This episode is not simply a recap - it is an integration. A chance to step back and see the pattern. To recognise that your sensitivity was never a flaw to correct, but an instrument to understand.The episode closes with a deeply immersive guided practice, Reweaving the Map, blending three beloved meditations from the past six months - the Forest of Allowing, the Weaver of Stories, and Loving-Kindness - into one cohesive inner journey.A celebration.A consolidation.And a reminder that the map is still unfolding.Our Sponsors:

In Billy Wilder's "Ace in the Hole," audiences were given a look at what happens when news becomes more focused on sensation than truth, more allegiant to entertainment than dignity. Twenty-five years later, Sidney Lumet took those themes even deeper in "Network," a movie that predicted anger-driven "infotainment" years before it became a thing. In this episode, we connect the dots between these two seminal films. Enjoy this preview of our Patreon exclusive.

And subscribe to Rosemary’s “Engineering with Rosie” YouTube channel here. Have a question we can answer on the show? Email us! There is something happening in the wind business right now. Something big … and something small. Let us start with big. In Nova Scotia … Premier Tim Houston has a dream. He calls it Wind West. Sixty gigawatts of offshore wind turbines. A transmission line to move that power across Canada and into the United States. The price tag … sixty billion dollars. Forty billion for the turbines. Twenty billion for the cables. But Ottawa says … not so fast. Federal Energy Minister Tim Hodgson told reporters the Major Projects Office needs to see private industry commit first. No private partners … no national interest designation. And here is the catch. The developers want to see transmission infrastructure before they invest. Ottawa wants to see developers before it invests. Everybody is waiting for everybody else. Still … Houston is not worried. He says the response from developers has been … through the roof. French firm Q Energy has already applied to pre-qualify. And Natural Resources Canada just put up nearly five million dollars for a feasibility study. Houston says the wind is there. It blows … a lot. The only question is where the power goes. Now … across the Atlantic. In England … a developer is learning that sometimes bigger is not better. Calderdale Energy Park wanted to build sixty-five turbines on Walshaw Moor near Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire. That would have made it the largest onshore wind farm in England. Last April they cut it to forty-one. Now … thirty-four. That would match the current largest site at Keadby in Lincolnshire. Campaigners say it will still damage the peat bogs and threaten ground-nesting birds. A local parish council survey found ninety-three percent of residents opposed. The developer says it could power a quarter million homes. That application goes to the Planning Inspectorate in November. Meanwhile … in Hamburg, Germany … Blue Elephant Energy is doing some shopping. The company just acquired a three hundred eighty-one megawatt wind portfolio from Wind-Projekt. That is thirty-seven operating wind farms in northern Germany. Two hundred sixty megawatts already feeding the grid. Another forty-six megawatts under construction … coming online this year. And seventy-five more megawatts in the pipeline for twenty twenty-seven. This deal will triple their German wind capacity … from one hundred seventy-three to five hundred thirty-three megawatts. It still needs approval from the German Federal Cartel Office. Now … to India. The Adani Group is about to build the longest onshore wind turbine blade in the country. Ninety-one-point-two meters. That is the length of a football field. Those blades will create a rotor diameter of one hundred eighty-five meters. Each rotation sweeps an area larger than three football fields combined. The factory is at Mundra in the state of Gujarat. Current capacity … two-point-two-five gigawatts per year. They plan to double that to five … and eventually reach ten. India added six-point-three gigawatts of wind last year alone. That was an eighty-five percent jump over the year before. And finally … back home in the American heartland. Rivian … the electric vehicle maker … just signed a power purchase agreement with Apex Clean Energy. Fifty megawatts from the proposed Goose Creek wind farm in Piatt County, Illinois. That wind farm sits within an hour of Rivian’s flagship plant in Normal, Illinois. With this deal … Rivian could power up to seventy-five percent of its factory with carbon-free energy. An electric truck company … powered by wind. So let us step back. Nova Scotia dreams of sixty gigawatts off its coast. An English moor fights over thirty-four turbines. A German company triples its wind portfolio overnight. India builds blades as long as football fields. And an American truck maker turns to the prairie wind to build its future. From the North Atlantic to the plains of Illinois … from the moors of Yorkshire to the coast of Gujarat … the wind keeps blowing. And people … keep building. And that is the state of the wind industry for the first of March twenty twenty-six. Join us for the Uptime Wind Energy podcast tomorrow.

Two cases where the evidence tells competing stories. Both reaching moments that will define what comes next.In the Kouri Richins trial, both realities exist at once. The prosecution has motive evidence that stacks to the ceiling: five times the lethal fentanyl dose, a forged life insurance policy, a boyfriend she booked a Caribbean vacation with for the month after Eric's death, texts wishing her husband would "just go away." Two weeks before he died, Eric told a friend he thought his wife was poisoning him.But the defense has something too: four years of investigation and no proof of how fentanyl actually got into Eric's body. Untested cups. Unsecured kitchen. White specks never analyzed. An "undetermined" death certificate. Can overwhelming circumstantial evidence survive when the physical link is missing?Then there's Nancy Guthrie. Twenty-five days. No suspect identified. No body recovered. The evidence pattern suggests a burglar who got surprised—someone who cased the house, came back, didn't know about the camera, and improvised with weeds to cover the lens.Arizona's felony murder statute doesn't care about intent. If Nancy died during a burglary, that's murder. Defense attorney Eric Faddis, a former prosecutor, breaks down what surrender buys versus getting caught, why the person who hid the body also hid their own defense, and how the legal walls are closing daily.Two cases. Two critical moments. The legal reality of what's coming.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This was a Fourth of July where there would be no fireworks. Just a lot of tears. It was raining when the campers went to sleep that night. But no one knew that the Guadalupe River would turn into a raging flood while they slept. The girls at Mystic Camp were awakened by that flood smashing into their cabins. Some were able to escape. Twenty-four could not. A few days ago, the President recalled that awful night. In the middle of his State of the Union address. He told the story of one of the Mystic Camp girls. Her name, Milly Cate. Eleven years old. In the midst of the surging flood, she prayed for God to save her. And a man who seemed to come out of nowhere, did. I'm Ron Hutchcraft, and I want to have A Word With You today about "Hope When The Water Is Rising." He was Scott Ruskan. Coast Guard rescue swimmer. You know those guys who come down from a chopper to rescue people from oceans and housetops. Now Scott had gone to college to major in accounting. But Somewhere along the way, he decided his calling was to rescue. But this was his first mission. And he was the answer to Milly Cate's prayer. We know that because the President of the United States told us told the story. He said, "As the waters threatened to sweep her away, 11-year-old Milly Cate McClymond closed her eyes and prayed to God she thought she was going to die. Those prayers were answered when Coast Guard rescuer Scott Ruskan descended from a helicopter above." You know Milly Cate was one of 164 people that he rescued that awful night. He was the only first responder around. The President introduced him and then honored him on the spot with the prestigious Legion of Merit medal for "exceptionally meritorious conduct." But his real "award," well that was the young girl next to him. Milly Cate. Who, facing almost certain death, had one hope that night. A rescuer from above. Thank God, he came. You know in a way, that's my story, too. And, no doubt, the story of many who are hearing this. I want you to hear our word for the day from the Word of God. It tells the greatest rescue story of all. Galatians 1:4: "Jesus gave His life for us... to rescue us." Now with Good Friday approaching, that's what that middle cross at a place called Skull Hill was all about. The greatest act of love in the history of mankind. As the Bible explains, "He carried our sins in His own body on the tree" (1 Peter 2:24). And that's because instead of living for the One who gave us our life, we have raised our fist and said, "You run the universe, God - I'll run me." And spiritual hijacking carries an unspeakable, eternal death penalty. So there I was, I stood facing the onrushing flood of the judgment of Almighty God. Nothing I could do could pay that death penalty. And here is the stunning rescue story that captured my heart forever. I did the sinning. God's Son did the dying! That's how much He loves me, and you. The Rescuer from above didn't just risk His life to save us. He gave His life. And like a camper facing death that tragic night, my only hope was a Rescuer from above. And I'm compelled to say this today. And get to you with this message, because I don't want you or anybody to miss Him. God says, "I have set before you life and death. Now choose life" (Deuteronomy 30:19). I pray you will do that this day. If you have never reached out to the Rescuer to be your rescuer from your sin take care of that now. Say, "Jesus I am yours from this day forward." Check out our website would you, because there you will find what you need know to be sure you belong to Him. It's ANewStory.com. Because when Jesus comes to rescue you, you ought to grab His hand. Because Hope has come.

The clock is running for whoever took Nancy Guthrie.Twenty-five days of silence. Twenty-five days of hiding while genetic genealogy labs work through samples and investigators canvass every gun shop in Arizona with photos of that holster. Twenty-five days of exposure compounding.Former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins us live to break down exactly what the person responsible is facing—and why the decision they make in the next days or weeks will determine the rest of their life.If this was a break-in that ended with a death the perpetrator didn't intend, Arizona law doesn't offer much comfort. Felony murder means intent doesn't matter. A death during a burglary is a murder charge. Full stop. Concealment of the body is a separate crime. So is evidence tampering. So is flight.Faddis explains what surrendering now actually buys versus getting caught later. Walking in with a lawyer and the location of Nancy Guthrie's body is a different conversation than getting pulled in after a DNA hit. One gives the defense something to negotiate with. The other lets prosecutors argue consciousness of guilt to a jury.The problem: whoever hid Nancy also hid the evidence that could support their own defense. If the claim is "I didn't mean to kill her," how do you prove it when there's no body to examine? Both sides are stuck on cause of death—and that's the defendant's fault.We're also covering the civil side. The Guthrie family has resources. Wrongful death doesn't require a conviction. It's a separate track, and it's coming regardless.Bring your questions. Faddis is answering them live.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Brad Beeler, author of Tell Me Everything and retired Secret Service agent who has conducted more criminal polygraphs than anyone in the agency’s history, was clearing a house on a search warrant when he came across two dogs: a pitbull and a Chihuahua. His focus locked on the pitbull. The stereotype. The threat. Meanwhile, the Chihuahua circled behind him and jumped up, latching onto him right between the legs while his partner stood there laughing. We assign horns and halos fast. Brad learned that lesson with dogs. You learn it every time a prospect shuts down before you finish your introduction. Horns mean danger. Hurtful. Someone here to take from me. Halo means safe. Helpful. On my side. Over 25 years of getting people to confess to federal crimes, Brad discovered something powerful: the same instincts that get hardened criminals to talk work in conference rooms. The techniques that break through with people who have every reason to lie also work on prospects who have every reason to brush you off. Because in both environments, trust determines everything. Why Building Trust With Prospects Is Harder Than You Think Your brain’s been running this horns-and-halos program for 300,000 years. When something rustled in the bushes, you made a split-second decision: climb a tree or fight. That quick judgment kept you alive. The moment you walk into a prospect meeting, their brain assigns you horns automatically. You are the salesperson. The interruption. The person asking for their budget. In their mind, you represent risk before you ever speak. It happens on cold calls. You say, “Hi, this is…” and they are already calculating how to end the conversation. On discovery calls. In demos. At conferences when you introduce yourself. Every single time. You are fighting ancient wiring every time you engage a buyer. So what can you control? The first 90 seconds. How to Build Trust in the First 90 Seconds We remember first impressions and last impressions. In most meetings, it begins and ends with a handshake. Brad puts antiperspirant on his right hand. He warms his hands before entering a room. He holds eye contact for one second. Faces the person straight on. Slows his pace. Lowers his tone. It sounds mechanical. But every one of these micro-decisions either confirms horns or begins to build a halo. Wet handshake? You’re nervous, unprepared, not confident in what you’re selling. Avoiding eye contact? You’re hiding something or you don’t believe in your own pitch. Talking too fast? You’re trying to get something past them before they catch on. When you control these variables, people’s guard comes down faster. You’re giving their brain evidence that maybe, just maybe, you’re not the threat they assumed you were. The Trust-Building Technique Most Salespeople Get Wrong Brad would sit across from murder suspects and open with one line: “I need you to help me understand.” Humans are hardwired to explain. When you position yourself as the learner, something shifts. They become the expert. Their guard drops. They start talking. Most salespeople walk in ready to educate. Your deck. Your case studies. Your demo. You’re there to prove you know their problems better than they do. Sometimes that works. But think about what it communicates: “I already know what’s wrong with your business. I just need you to agree with me and sign here.” Instead, try: “Walk me through what happens when your team processes a new order.” “Help me understand how you’re handling onboarding right now.” “What’s your biggest bottleneck?” Invert the dynamic. You’re not there to impress them. You’re there to learn from them. Once buyers start explaining their world, they reveal what matters. The workaround their team built. The spreadsheet that breaks every month. The process leadership thinks is automated but is completely manual. That’s the information that moves your deal forward. How to Build Rapport Before the Real Conversation Starts Before interrogating two suspects, Brad bought them food. Popeyes for one. McDonald’s for the other. Twenty-two dollars total. The next day, the woman’s on a jail call: “Yeah, they got me with the McDonald’s. That’s why I confessed.” It was not about the food. It was about comfort. Lowering the guard. Creating what Brad calls a confessional environment where people feel safe telling the truth. You’re probably not buying prospects lunch before your first call. But the principle still applies. Show up five minutes early so they don’t feel rushed. Ask about their weekend before diving into business. Acknowledge that you know their time is valuable. Turn your camera off if they seem uncomfortable on video. Send the agenda beforehand so there are no surprises. These are small friction eliminators. They signal: I’m not here to ambush you. I’m not trying to catch you off guard. We’re having a conversation, not a pitch. The prospect who feels safe tells you what’s really going on. The prospect who feels ambushed gives you the corporate line and ends the call early. What Happens When You Actually Build Trust With Buyers When buyers move you from horns to halo, everything changes. They stop filtering their answers. They tell you what keeps them up at night. They admit where the process breaks. They share internal pressure you would never see in a polished demo. I’ve watched this play out hundreds of times. The rep who asks better questions closes more deals than the rep with the better demo. The rep who makes prospects comfortable gets to real problems faster than the rep with the perfect pitch. Brad spent 25 years getting people to confess to federal crimes. He still warms up his hands before handshakes. Still slows his speech. Still positions himself as someone who needs to learn. Why? Because building trust isn’t about personality or natural charisma. It’s about technique. These methods work because they’re based on how humans actually operate, not how we wish they operated. And when buyers tell you the truth, you can actually help them. — Download our free Sales EQ Book Club Guide to master the emotional intelligence skills that help you read prospects and close more deals.

U.S. launches investigation after Cuba kills 4 on Florida boat. Hillary Clinton set for deposition with House Oversight Committee in Jeffrey Epstein probe. Uber adds air taxis to its app ahead of Dubai launch. Teen's extreme ‘self-improvement' tactics shock internet. The US and Iran hold indirect talks in Geneva. Twenty-year-old to testify at US trial about harm from social media addiction. 

Four hundred investigators. Twenty-two days. Zero arrests. And the investigation is at a crossroads.ABC News reported Friday that sources inside the Guthrie case believe the operation may soon scale back to a smaller long-term task force. The family has been briefed that certain leads aren't panning out. The DNA at the home is still unidentified. No additional video has been recovered. No vehicle has been connected to the abduction. Two high-profile detentions produced nothing.Meanwhile, if the perpetrator is local — and the January reconnaissance suggests they are — they've spent three weeks watching themselves become the most wanted person in America. The footage is everywhere. Gun shops are being canvassed. Walmart has turned over backpack purchase records. Genetic genealogy is spinning up. CeCe Moore says whoever did this should be "extremely concerned."And investigators aren't ruling out that more than one person was involved.Robin Dreeke spent twenty-one years in FBI counterintelligence running the Bureau's Behavioral Analysis Program. He managed teams under sustained pressure with no wins. He studied how people behave when they know they're being hunted. He built his career on understanding what makes people with dangerous knowledge finally talk.This interview examines every psychological dimension of where the Guthrie case stands right now. What happens inside an investigation when it transitions from surge to sustained? What's happening in the head of whoever did this as they watch the walls close in? What does the contradictory evidence — sophisticated reconnaissance, sloppy exit, ransom notes with no collection mechanism — suggest about whether this was one person or a partnership? And what does it take for someone with knowledge of a crime to finally come forward?The reward is over two hundred thousand dollars. Someone in this perpetrator's life has noticed the stress. Cases like this get solved when someone talks.Robin Dreeke breaks down the investigation's psychology, the suspect's psychology, and the psychology of the break.Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On today's daily podcast, we dive headfirst into a real-life story that feels like Gone Girl but somehow even more chaotic — because this one actually happened. A mom in North Carolina tells her kids she's heading out to do some Christmas shopping… and then vanishes. No calls. No sightings. No updates. For. Twenty. Four. Years.Yeah. Twenty. Four.The FBI got involved. The husband was suspected. The kids grew up believing their mom was either dead or abducted. Every holiday season? Trauma with tinsel on top. And then — out of nowhere — she's found alive, living just a couple hours away, apparently doing just fine.So today on the show, we unpack everything:• Is disappearing legally allowed? (Surprisingly… kind of.)• Should there be abandonment charges?• Could you ever forgive a parent for that?• And how in the hell do you start over without anyone noticing for two decades?The crew goes full debate mode. Is she a sociopath? Was there something darker going on? Did she just decide “nah” and hit reset? We don't have all the answers — but we absolutely have opinions. Loud ones.Plus, we spiral (in true Rizz Show fashion) into van life influencers, whether running away mid-commute is a universal parent fantasy, generational breakdowns from Silent Gen to Gen Beta, and the psychology of wanting to disappear for a few hours… or forever.It's messy. It's emotional. It's sarcastic. It's exactly what you expect from your favorite daily podcast that can pivot from serious true crime to sunscreen jokes in under 90 seconds.And yes — we also roast VIP festival passes, debate whether it's weird to go to concerts alone, and question the morality of gifting someone ONE ticket. (Who does that?)If you love real stories that make you say “wait… WHAT?” — this episode of our daily podcast delivers.Welcome to The Rizzuto Show.

The footage is everywhere. Twenty-two days of national coverage. The FBI showing photos to gun shops. Walmart handing over backpack records. Genetic genealogy processing DNA. CeCe Moore telling national television that if she were the kidnapper, she'd be "extremely concerned."If this person is local — and the January 11th and January 31st reconnaissance windows suggest they are — they've spent three weeks watching themselves become the most wanted person in America.Robin Dreeke ran the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He spent his career studying how people behave under pressure, how stress reveals itself, and what happens psychologically when someone knows they're being hunted. In this interview, he breaks down what's happening inside the head of whoever did this.What does sustained pressure do to someone trying to act normal? What mistakes do people make when they can't stop checking coverage? What behavioral tells might they be showing to people around them — a spouse, a roommate, a coworker who's noticed something is off?The forensic awareness at the door suggests planning. The dropped glove suggests panic. Robin reads the behavioral signature of someone who may be in over their head.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

"Twenty years from now, we are in World War III with Islamists,” Glenn predicts to Bryan Stern, veteran career intelligence officer, founder of Grey Bull Rescue, and the man behind the unbelievable rescue of Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado. But Bryan says we are already at war — and President Trump knows it. From swapping harrowing stories of the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal to Bryan's firsthand account of being in New York on 9/11, the two dive deep into the brutal realities of modern warfare. Stern recounts the heart-pounding details of his daring rescue of Machado from Maduro's clutches — and thanks President Trump for finally taking out the “piece of crap” Venezuelan dictator. But the threats don't stop in Caracas. The discussion exposes the surprising connections between Maduro's regime and Black Lives Matter and the wide-open chaos at the U.S.-Mexico border. And Glenn asks a very important question: “Is China the biggest threat to America?” As tensions rise, they tackle the looming possibility of Iran's collapse, the ever-present specter of nuclear war, and why Russia may soon be a Muslim nation.        GLENN'S SPONSORS:                   PreBorn: Together, we can end the tragedy of abortion, one mother and baby at a time.
