Cam Skattebo's backflip slip at Fanatics Fest alarms Giants fans and sparks a debate over whether the rookie is taking an unnecessary risk so close to training camp. Evan Roberts is surprised that Tiki Barber shared Shaun Morash's concern, while Skattebo insists the bouncy floor caused the fall and promises he will not get hurt before the season. Evan, Tiki and Shaun also debate whether Jalen Brunson's response to a LeBron James recruiting question revealed that the Knicks captain does not want him in New York. Plus, the Yankees' trade deadline options, the Mets' difficult sell-off, and WWE's awkward use of injured stars Brunson and Tyrese Haliburton.

Unnecessary, a breach of the bill of rights, and morally indefensible - that's how the government's move on orders have been described at parliament today. But another submitter says the system currently has no teeth to deal with aggressive and non-compliant behaviour. Oral submissions are being made on the Summary Offences Amendment Bill. Political reporter Lillian Hanly has more.

When President Richard Nixon lied about and covered up the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate building by his people - Americans - even Republicans - rejected Nixon's lying and cover-up to the point where Nixon was left with no option but to resign. Today, if President Trump were guilty of the same lies and cover-up, he would still be supported by many Republicans and Republican politicians on Capitol Hill, and there would not have been a rally cry to resign.

In this episode of Business Brain, we dig into the power of intentional language and why unnecessary change can quietly wreck a good team. We kick things off with a customer service moment that stuck with us: a tuxedo rental shop promised to call “if we have any questions,” not “if we have any problems,” and that one word swap became a masterclass in framing. We talk about why capturing good ideas the moment we have them (yes, even in our Notes app) beats trusting our memory, and why July is the perfect time to lock in next year’s holiday calendar before anyone has to ask. Then we get into the real meat of it: how do we know if a change is worth making, or if we’re just chasing a shiny object? We break down the two questions we ask before we touch anything — are we solving a real problem, or seizing a real opportunity — and why “we’ve always done it that way” is basically a curse word in our book. We share how a two-week experiment saved us from a costly email misstep, and why walking back a change we can’t support isn’t failure, it’s smart business. It’s this kind of thoughtful, deliberate decision-making that keeps us living the Charmed Life. 00:00:00 Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs' Podcast #766 for Wednesday, July 1, 2026 July 1st: Canada Day 00:01:26 Customer Service: Language Matters Returning my Tuxedo: “We'll call you if we have any questions.” vs. “we'll call you if we have any issues.” 00:05:45 QT: Reminder to create your business's holiday calendars for 2027 00:07:23 SPONSOR: Bitdefender.

Send us Fan MailGuest: Dr. George Barna, Director of Research, Cultural Research Center, Arizona Christian UniversityThe Bible says that in the time of the judges in Israel, “every man did what was right in his own eyes” (Judges 17:6). That is another way of saying the people were flagrantly breaking God's laws and rationalizing their sin. Scripture is clear that all men and women are sinners by nature and by choice.For example, Romans 3 says:“for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin; as it is written, “There is none righteous, not even one; There is none who understands, There is none who seeks for God; All have turned aside, together they have become useless; There is none who does good, There is not even one” (Romans 3:9-12).Considering all the hate, murder, lying, lusting, stealing, coveting, envying, immorality, blasphemy, oppression, and much more that marks our world, it may seem surprising that Americans don't see themselves as sinners but as basically good, and thus, do what is right in their own eyes.In a recent survey released by George Barna, Director of Research at the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University, “only half of all American adults (52%) believe that everyone has sinned…and even among theologically-defined born-again Christians, one in four denies personal guilt of sin.” What's more, “among self-identified Christians, 72% believe that people are “basically good at heart.”This is troubling and egregious error, especially by those who profess to be part of the church. Today on the program, George Barna joins us to discuss the changing view of sin by Americans and Christians and what has led to it. We will also discuss why conviction over one's sin is so important because it shows us our need for the only remedy.* this program is a rebroadcast from 10/18/2025

HELLMARE (2026)Director: Victor GabrielCast: Boyd Coffman, Lloyd Kaufman, and the rest of the crew who clearly had a blast making this thingIndie horror isn't dead — it got sucked into a VHS tape and came out swinging. This week we're covering Hellmare, the brand new 2026 horror-comedy from director Victor Gabriel and RFN Pictures, literally 48 hours after its premiere. Fresh takes, zero polish, maximum passion.We go deep on what makes this no-budget gem punch way above its weight class, why practical effects will always win, and why you should be following RFN Pictures right now before everyone else figures it out.In this episode, we discuss:Sucked Into the Tape — The core premise of Hellmare is genuinely original: a group of friends watching a cursed urban-legend VHS get pulled into the movie itself, forced to survive alongside characters from the trailers on the tape. It's Robert Rodriguez fake-trailer energy meets actual horror, and it works.Indie Horror Is Alive and It's Where It's At — We break down why Hellmare succeeds where so many no-budget films fail: tight storytelling, a clear narrative, practical effects that are genuinely gnarly, and a cast with real chemistry that feels like actual friends giving each other shit in a crisis. Because they are.The Tonal Tightrope — We don't just fanboy out — we get into the real critiques. The cartoon sound effects layered over otherwise serious horror moments, a scene in the barn where everyone stares at nothing, and some over-modulated audio that had us straining to hear a key line. Victor's getting better every film. These are the last kinks to iron out.Supporting the Scene — A genuine conversation about why it matters to show up for indie filmmakers. If you're tired of Marvel slop and Star Wars noise, you have to actually support the people swinging for something new. Follow RFN Pictures. Watch this movie when it drops on streaming.We Also Talked About:Marty: Life is Short (Netflix) — Martin Short documentary. Turns out the guy had an inexplicably happy childhood and is just... genuinely nice? Deeply suspicious. Worth watching.Lorne (2026) (Peacock) — New documentary on Lorne Michaels covering his full career, narrated by Chris Parnell. More access than you'd expect from the most private man in television.The Band That Wouldn't Die (ESPN 30 for 30) (Disney+/Hulu) — The Baltimore Colts marching band refuses to die after the team gets snuck out of the city in the middle of the night. The band is kind of the MacGuffin. The real story is a city getting its soul stolen.Without Bias (ESPN 30 for 30) (Disney+/Hulu) — Len Bias. Drafted by the Celtics. Dead 24 hours later. A documentary that goes way beyond basketball into the war on drugs and the paranoia that followed.Lone Wolf McQuade (1983) (Tubi)— Chuck Norris in kicking jeans vs. David Carradine in a sweater. Someone kills a dog. It escalates. Unnecessary explosions ensue. Classic.High Stakes (1986) (Fawesome) — Pre-Kids in the Hall Dave Foley discovers Nazi treasure. It's slow. Keanu Reeves almost got the part. Make of that what you will.Day of the Reaper (1984) (Tubi) — Shot-on-shittio cannibal slasher set in Florida. The hand moves in a dry bathtub.

STARDATE: Your Mother.SYSTEM STATUS: CORRUPTED / DELAYED / POSSIBLY HAUNTED ⚠️ RECOVERED FRAGMENTS

This episode was sponsored by Cardiff  LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers a masterclass in tax warfare with Mark Lewis — a federally-licensed Enrolled Agent who spent 15 years battling the IRS before cracking the code on strategies the ultra-wealthy and big corporations have quietly used for decades. Now he helps small and mid-size business owners slash their taxes below 25%, protect assets from lawsuits, and build generational wealth using the same corporate structures as 9-figure companies. Mark breaks down why your S-Corp is a trap, how Amazon-level corporate structuring is legally available to small business owners, and the six financial lies keeping most entrepreneurs overpaying by thousands every year. From the "earn vs. control" mindset shift, to the Augusta Rule, offshore trust myths, and why your CPA's silence is costing you more than their fee — this episode covers it all. If you're making money and handing more of it to the IRS than Fortune 500 companies do, that's not a tax problem — it's a structure problem. And this episode tells you exactly what to do about it.

Nick Wize turns the conversation over to the fans after proposing that the Buccaneers use a fourth-round supplemental draft pick on Brendan Sorsby.

What if the diagnosis you fear most is also the one most likely to be wrong and the treatment that follows causes more damage than the disease ever would?In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti highlights how the prostate is often overdiagnosed and overtreated. The issue is not the PSA test itself. It's how the result is interpreted and what happens next.Dr. Stephen breaks down the cycle: arbitrary PSA cutoffs, fear-based referrals, and biopsies that detect dormant cells and trigger aggressive treatments. These pathways can lead to real consequences without clear evidence of improving survival. Instead, he emphasizes monitoring trends, using imaging, and focusing on overall health rather than reacting to a single number.If longevity and clarity matter to you, take a step back before your next test or procedure.

BONUS: The Communication Tax — Why Your Team Collaborates Too Much and What to Cut First In this BONUS episode, Roman Nikolaev challenges one of the most deeply held beliefs in the agile world: that more collaboration is always better. As Head of Technology at Cambri, Roman has watched teams burn their best hours in meetings and handoffs that create the feeling of productivity without the outcomes. He shares practical tools — from the vacation test to RFC processes — that help teams find the minimum viable level of collaboration. From Senior Engineer to Accidental Manager "I kind of accidentally ended up in management. I didn't want to lead anyone, I wanted to be just a senior engineer doing my stuff. But somehow, four months in the job, I was already leading a team, and then one year after, I was head of technology."   Roman's career in engineering goes back to the early 2000s. When he changed jobs during COVID, he specifically didn't want a management role — he wanted to code. But within months he was leading a team, and within a year he was running the entire technical organization at Cambri. That unexpected shift from hands-on engineering to leading teams gave him a front-row seat to how collaboration actually works — and how often it doesn't. What he noticed was that the most important differentiator for technical teams isn't technical knowledge — it's communication, and the tax you pay when communication goes wrong. The Communication Tax Is Real "The communication tax is real. The less we need to pay for communication, the more we can concentrate and own things end to end."   Roman describes a pattern most teams will recognize: stakeholders inside and outside the team — product managers, QA, scrum masters, product owners — and at some point, it becomes a game of telephone. The people doing the actual work don't have the context they need. The result? Unnecessary features, wrong implementations, suboptimal technical solutions that don't scale. His argument isn't that collaboration is bad. It's that every handoff, every meeting, every "quick sync" has a cost — and most teams aren't honest about how much they're paying. Handoffs Aren't Collaboration "If you look at a typical software development lifecycle — a ticket created by a product owner, refinement with the team, development, code review, QA, acceptance — there are quite many handoffs. If we can reduce some of this, we get a more effective workflow."   Roman walks through the standard ticket lifecycle and counts the handoffs: PO creates ticket, team refines, developer picks it up, code review with other developers, QA phase, acceptance phase. Each transition is a potential information loss. His provocation: instead of involving more people when someone struggles with a task, give the person working on it the tools and knowledge to complete it independently. The trigger for his thinking was a real team conversation where someone suggested everyone should "jump on the ticket" to help. Roman's response: wouldn't it be better to equip the individual rather than create more dependencies? Async Tools That Actually Work "Instead of gathering a meeting where people come unprepared or with some raw ideas, we have ownership for a task. Someone takes their time, writes down their thoughts, options in a document, and then we assign people to review it."   Roman shares two async practices his teams use at Cambri. First, the RFC (Request for Comments) process on Confluence — one person owns a decision, writes it up with options, and assigned reviewers sign off asynchronously. It turns out to be more effective at finding better technical solutions while spreading knowledge without requiring synchronous deep-dives. Second, his Monday written updates: every week, he spends about 90 minutes writing a detailed post covering all project statuses, what happened last week, what's coming, and business context. The team feedback in skip-level meetings is consistently positive, and he fields far fewer questions about business context and priorities than before the practice started. The Vacation Test "One heuristic would be that if one of the team members goes on vacation, the rest of the team can continue working on their task."   Roman learned this the hard way. He went on a typical Finnish one-month vacation. Before leaving, he explained the architecture and intent for a key task to his team. He came back to discover they'd built the completely wrong thing — wasting one month of a two-month project. He spent the remaining time working weekends, on planes, on trains, just to hit the deadline. The lesson wasn't that he needed more collaboration or synchronous communication before leaving. It was that he needed better communication — and a way to test whether shared context actually exists. His heuristic: if Alice goes on vacation, can Bob continue from where she stopped? If not, you don't need more meetings. You need better async context-sharing. Where to Start: Ownership First, Then Cut Meetings "I would probably first look into if a particular initiative, a feature, or some kind of process has an owner and well-defined roles. Usually, if there is no clear owner, that leads to a lot of synchronous meetings."   For Scrum Masters and team leads looking for a practical starting point, Roman offers a two-step approach. First, ensure every initiative, feature, and process has a clear owner with well-defined roles. Without clear ownership, meetings multiply because nobody is sure who's responsible, so everyone attends everything. Second, look at the team calendar starting with the biggest meetings and ask: can this be an RFC? A message? An email? Then experiment — cancel a meeting, replace it with an async channel, and see what happens. You can always bring it back. In the agile world, Roman argues, we should embrace experimentation with our own processes, not just our products. Recommended Resources Roman recommends Team Topologies by Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais. The book gave him a clear mental model for independent teams that own their area end to end — teams aligned to value streams that own the customer problem completely.

About Roman Nikolaev Roman Nikolaev is Head of Technology at Cambri. He's spent his career thinking about how teams actually get work done — and his contrarian view that most teams collaborate too much has sparked real debate in the agile community.   You can link with Roman Nikolaev on LinkedIn.

Your purpose was never meant to cost you your peace. Somewhere along the way, many working moms and visionary leaders were taught that if you are truly committed to your calling, you should constantly feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, and running on empty. But exhaustion is not evidence of purpose. And burnout is not a badge of honor.If pursuing your vision constantly leaves you:• anxious before the day even begins• emotionally exhausted no matter how much sleep you get• disconnected from your family, your faith, and even yourself• frustrated because you're producing but no longer feeling fulfilled• carrying pressure that never seems to liftSomething is out of alignment. In this episode, Latika shares the importance of knowing the difference between the necessary and unnecessary things in life. This episode is one you don't want to miss!

Most business owners chase more deals, more leads, and more revenue — convinced that volume is the answer to keeping more money. But as a fractional CFO who has worked with hundreds of businesses, the host knows firsthand what it feels like to scale to 25 deals a month and still bleed cash.This solo episode breaks down the exact system he uses to identify and eliminate hidden cash drains in any business. If you're a real estate investor or entrepreneur who keeps making more but somehow keeping less, this one is for you.Timeline Highlights[0:26] Why making more does not equal keeping more, and the mindset shift every business owner needs[1:19] Personal story: scaling to 25 deals a month while spending more than the business brought in[1:57] The two biggest cash drains that take companies down — marketing spend and payroll[2:33] The 35% payroll threshold and what to do when you've crossed it[3:20] Why having 25 staff members felt like success but was quietly killing the business[4:00] The quarterly expense audit: why just one to two hours can put thousands back in your pocket[4:53] A simple net profit math example showing why cutting $200 beats chasing $10,000 in new revenue[5:40] Why the best approach attacks both sides: making more and keeping more[6:31] Introducing the PRU exercise and how to run it using three months of bank statements[7:12] How to label every expense: Profitable, Replaceable, or Unnecessary[8:48] The unnecessary category: forgotten subscriptions, unused domains, and costs you forgot you had[9:25] Start with just one month if three feels overwhelming — most owners find thousands on the first pass[10:11] Why the host calls this the $1,000 per hour exercise and how often to run it[11:04] How to handle staff in the PRU process — including what to do with your best performers[11:22] Real results from fractional CFO work: from $1,000 to $50,000 cut per monthKey TakeawaysMore revenue does not automatically mean more profit. Scaling deal volume without controlling expenses can leave you spending more than you make — as the host learned firsthand when 25 deals a month still wasn't enough to stay ahead of costs.Marketing and payroll are the two expenses most likely to sink a business. Marketing needs a measurable return on investment, and payroll should stay under 35% of revenue before you consider adding headcount.The PRU exercise turns expense reviews into a system. Label every expense as Profitable, Replaceable, or Unnecessary using three months of bank statements, and you'll quickly find costs that have no business being there.Cutting expenses delivers returns that new revenue can't match at thin margins. At a 10% net profit margin, eliminating $200 in monthly costs is the equivalent of adding $2,000 in new revenue.One to two hours per quarter is enough to run a lean business.

I am coming to you this week from the forest in Oaxaca, Mexico, reflecting on how the cracks in an adobe wall are much like the flaws in our lives and relationships. Sometimes these flaws are exactly what make our paths so charming and beautiful. In this episode, we explore five major shifts happening right now. We discuss the transformational storms of Venus in Ardra, the importance of honest communication while Mercury is combust, and how to navigate the space between last week's New Moon in Krittika and next week's Full Moon in Anuradha. I hope this episode helps you release what you need to let go of, so you can prepare for the expansive growth coming as Jupiter moves into Cancer.

In this episode we answer emails from Jose, Optimus Bill, and Steve.  We discuss bonds, retirement taxes, valuing Social Security and when to take it, how some use the four quadrant model for market timing, and the latest wave of complex ETFs. Along the way, we make the case that liquidity is the real goal of retirement planning, not income that may raise your tax bills.And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Additional Links:Fairfax CASA Donation Page:  Donate - Fairfax CASAThe CAGE ETF Information Page:  CAGE - Calamos Autocallable Growth ETF | Calamos InvestmentsETF Slop Video:  The Rise of ETF SlopBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:Retirement plans fall apart when we confuse comfort words with real outcomes. “Income” sounds safe, but it often creates taxes you do not need, while the thing that actually keeps retirees calm is liquidity: the ability to raise cash on your schedule without wrecking your portfolio allocation. We lean hard into that distinction, using real listener questions to show how risk parity investing and sensible asset allocation can support spending without turning your life into a tax-driven paycheck factory.We start with a practical bond question that every DIY investor runs into: how should you split Treasury exposure between intermediate-term treasuries (VGIT) and long-term treasuries (VGLT)? We explain what treasuries are supposed to do in a risk parity portfolio (recession insurance), why the “right” answer depends more on your total Treasury percentage than on a perfect formula, and how to sanity-check your choices with backtesting tools. Then we tackle municipal bond funds in a brokerage account, the hidden traps of retirement income marketing, and why liquidity restrictions deserve a black mark in retirement planning.Next, we take on Social Security claiming strategy without the usual internet optimization spiral. We break the decision into real-world categories, talk longevity and household planning, and share a more grounded way to think about valuation by comparing the benefit to annuity pricing rather than break-even charts. We also revisit the four quadrant model and why it can quietly turn into market timing, plus a skeptical look at new options-based leverage products like CAGE and how it differs from leveraged ETFs like UPRO.We wrap with our weekly portfolio reviews across the eight sample portfolios, including updates on stocks, gold, treasuries, managed futures, and commodities.

What if the real measure of leadership isn't how indispensable you are—but how unnecessary you've made yourself? In this episode, Lisa Goldenthal challenges one of the most deeply ingrained beliefs in leadership: that being involved equals being effective. Through sharp insights and uncomfortable truths, she introduces the 48-Hour Dependency Test—a simple but revealing way to see whether your business actually runs… or just waits. She unpacks the critical difference between delegation (handing off tasks) and architecture (designing systems that think, decide, and move without you). Because if everything still flows through you, you're not leading—you've become the operating system your company can't function without. Lisa goes deeper, exploring how a leader's emotional state silently drives—or stalls—organizational momentum, shaping decision-making, speed, and trust across the entire business. Finally, she confronts the ultimate question: What does it mean to design yourself out of the day-to-day—and why is architected irrelevance the most powerful, and most avoided, goal in leadership? If your business depends on your presence to move, this episode isn't just insightful—it's necessary.

Leah Sargeant was a proud atheistic feminist who experienced a deep conversion to Christ. But she couldn't fully ditch the term "feminism," and in today's episode she explains why.
