In this kickoff to our special series on trade, Nick and Goldy unpack why trade policy isn't just about tariffs and treaties—it's about people, power, and priorities. For decades, the prevailing narrative has been that trade benefits everyone by lowering prices. But the real question is: who does it help, and who does it hurt? From the false promises of globalization to the overlooked damage in hollowed-out communities, this episode sets the stage for exploring a fresh way to think about trade—one grounded in power dynamics, democratic values, and middle-out economics.

About this Episode What if everything you know about love is a myth—built on luck, chance, and hope? The truth is, many of us walk into relationships with big dreams of “happily ever after,” only to find that real connection can feel overwhelming, elusive, or even impossible to sustain. We use words like “respect,” “trust,” and “compassion,” but rarely stop to define what they truly mean for ourselves and our partners. Without a roadmap, couples often end up lost in confusion, miscommunication, and heartbreak.

We've all heard of fight, flight, and freeze, but what about the fourth F of trauma responses? It's called fawning and we have Dr. Ingrid Clayon join us to discuss what it looks like (leaning in even when you're uncomfortable, needing to please), why we fawn in childhood, relationships, the workplace, etc., and how to break these patterns. We discuss how fawning compares and contrasts to people pleasing, and how fawners have trouble finding healthy relationships, saying no, recognizing their own anxiety, and being honest in therapy. And Ingrid offers advice for getting curious about the trauma responses that could be holding you back, recognizing and not sabotaging healthy partners, and speaking up when you don't like something. Before Ingrid joins us, we have a SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT, Ashley gives a family/health update, and Rayna is making new friends.

In this follow-up message on Nehemiah 8:10, we dive deeper into what it truly means for “the joy of the Lord” to be our strength—especially in seasons of sorrow and grief. Unpacking the original Hebrew, we discover that God's joy over us is meant to be our stronghold and refuge, not just a fleeting feeling. But we also ask: is it ever okay to grieve? Looking at the example of Jesus, the biblical call to mourn with those who mourn, and real stories of persecuted believers, we see that God meets us in both joy and sorrow. Whether you're celebrating or facing heartbreak, this sermon will encourage you that God's joy is your place of safety, and that honest grieving has its place in the Christian life. Join us as we learn how to find hope, strength, and even joy in the presence of God—no matter what season we're in.

- One of the biggest SaaS security incidents recently of course is the Salesloft Drive/Salesforce incident, which impacted hundreds of organizations and involved compromised OAuth tokens. Can you tell us a bit about the incident and the fallout?- In an AppOmni blog on the incident, you all discuss attackers taking advantage of persistent OAuth access, over-permissive access, limited monitoring, and unsecured secrets. Why do these problems continue to plague organizations despite incidents like this?This is part of a broader trend of increased SaaS supply chain attacks. What makes these attacks so enticing for malicious actors and challenging for organizations to prevent entirely?You recently published your State of SaaS Security Report, which projects SaaS to grow 20% YoY between 2025 and 2032. This is despite 75% of organizations reporting a SaaS security incident in the past year. Why do you think we're seeing continued growth in adoption but still lagging in SaaS security to accompany the adoption?The report discusses the rise of NHIs and GenAI and how this will exacerbate problems around SaaS Access and incidents. Can you unpack that for us?I was shocked to see the report find that just 13% of organizations use SSPM tooling despite SaaS's widespread adoption. When you talk to enterprises, for example, nearly everyone is doing some CSPM activity for IaaS. Why are so many neglecting hygiene and posture for their SaaS footprint?

In an age where truth is smothered by political agendas and mainstream silence, today's episode tears through the deception with unrelenting clarity. We start by exposing the tragic murder of Iryna Zarutska, a devoted mother and immigrant, killed on Charlotte's light rail. While corporate media buries her story, voices like Elon Musk and Rep. Randy Fine are sounding the alarm, calling out judges and prosecutors who allow dangerous criminals to walk free. We'll unravel this injustice, confront the double standards, and pose the critical question: what if the victim and perpetrator were reversed? Next, we sit down for an exclusive, in-depth interview with Dr. George Nasr, Associate Professor of Engineering at Notre-Dame University in Lebanon and former technical advisor to Canada's National Research Council. A leading authority on hydrostrategy, Dr. Nasr reveals how control over water and energy—particularly Israel's focus on the Hasbani River and offshore gas fields—is reshaping warfare and geopolitics. His expert analysis of Israel's AI-driven military tactics and the 2024 Lebanon War offers a rare glimpse into the resource wars redefining the Middle East. This is a conversation you can't afford to miss. We wrap with a powerful call to action for every patriot who values justice. Tina Peters, a Gold Star Mom, courageous grandmother and election integrity advocate, languishes in prison for challenging a corrupt system. We're launching a Fax Blast to Congress, demanding her freedom and exposing the chilling precedent her persecution sets. Blending urgent reporting, unparalleled expertise, and bold activism, this episode is an urgent Summons. Get ready—this is Joe Untamed.  

About this Episode What happened to our sex life? It's a question that so many couples and individuals ask themselves in silence, often with a mix of confusion, frustration, and vulnerability. Desire seems to disappear overnight. Intimacy becomes awkward or routine. Shame and self-doubt creep in, making it all the harder to talk about what's really going on—let alone figure out how to reconnect. The problem isn't just about mismatched libido or busy schedules. It's about navigating the invisible scripts, societal expectations, stress, and even past wounds that shape our most intimate experiences. In this episode, we dive deep into understanding the roots of sexual disconnection and desire discrepancies–from personal identity and past experiences to relational habits and cultural messaging. Through empathetic discussion and expert insights, the conversation invites listeners to explore both individual and relational factors that impact their sex lives, offering practical strategies for reclaiming intimacy, self-awareness, and genuine pleasure. Whether you're looking to rekindle passion, start new conversations, or simply better understand your own needs, this episode delivers compassionate tools and supportive perspectives to help you navigate the complex terrain of modern sexual relationships.

She is the founder of Modern Intimacy, a counseling practice that operates in Los Angeles, Miami, and Chicago, and a passionate advocate for mental health, relational and sexual health, and wellness.

Unlock Your True Potential by Asking This One Question   This episode of the Rich Mind Podcast poses a powerful question to kickstart your biggest goals: "If you knew you couldn't fail and wouldn't be judged, what's the one thing you would do today?" Randy and Greg use this thought experiment to dissect the self-doubt, limiting beliefs, and fear of judgment that paralyze us. The conversation evolves into a real-time coaching session where Greg shares his entrepreneurial dream of starting a coaching business and the internal resistance holding him back. Listeners will get a transparent look at how to identify limiting beliefs, the importance of taking small, initial steps to build momentum, and the power of aligning your actions with your authentic self to find true fulfillment.   Key Takeaways:   The question "What would you do if you couldn't fail?" is a powerful tool to bypass your inner critic and identify your true desires. Self-doubt and limiting beliefs (e.g., "Why would someone hire me?") are the primary obstacles preventing us from taking action, not a lack of resources or skill. You don't need to know every step of the journey to begin. The first step is to simply start and trust that the right people and resources will appear. To overcome the overwhelm of a big goal, break it down into the smallest possible action you can take today. The feeling of joy and fulfillment is a strong indicator that you are on the right path and aligned with your purpose. Leveraging your innate skills (like networking and listening) can provide a unique angle for a new venture you're passionate about. Sharing your goals with a trusted inner circle can provide clarity, encouragement, and the "kick in the butt" needed to get started.   Questions Answered in This Episode:   What is the most powerful question you can ask yourself to overcome fear and self-doubt? How do you identify the specific limiting beliefs that are holding you back? What is the first, smallest step you can take to start building a new business or pursuing a dream? How do you know if a new career path is truly aligned with your purpose? Why is it so important to have a support system or coach when chasing a big goal? How can you use free tools like AI to get started and build momentum? How do you overcome the fear of judgment from others when you start something new? What is the "ripple effect" and how can helping one person impact thousands?   Key People, Concepts, & Terms:   People: Randy Wilson, Greg Junge, Jim Rohn Concepts: No-Failure Mindset, Self-Doubt, Limiting Beliefs, Inner Critic, Imposter Syndrome, Taking Action, Momentum, Coaching, Purpose, Ripple Effect Tools: ChatGPT (AI) Key Episode Timestamps   00:00 - The Ultimate Question: What Would You Do If You Knew You Couldn't Fail? 01:35 - The Core Obstacle: The Power of Self-Belief vs. Self-Doubt 04:09 - A Real-Time Example: Greg's Dream of Starting a Coaching Business 07:00 - Unpacking the "Why": Identifying the Limiting Beliefs That Keep Us Stuck 08:06 - The Solution: What is the Smallest Action You Can Take Today? 09:30 - The Feeling of Fulfillment: How You Know You're on the Right Path 16:31 - A Key Insight: How to Use Your Natural Talents (Networking) in a New Way 21:06 - The "Kick in the Butt": The Power of Encouragement and Accountability 25:11 - Getting Over the Fear of Judgment and Hitting "Record" 31:42 - The Final Challenge: What ONE Thing Will You Do Today?

Send us a textOur mission at FBC Tampa centers on connecting people to a thriving life in Christ through intentional relationships and biblical teaching. We explore how this mission shapes everything we do as a church and how individual members can live it out daily.• Mission statement serves as a filter for all church activities and ministries• Thriving in Christ means glorifying God by doing what He's called us to do• Connecting others requires both loving God passionately and loving others purposefully• Relationships are the primary vehicle for connecting people to Christ• Psalm 1 provides the framework: dig in (to God's Word), grow up (in Christ), branch out (bear fruit)• Being intentional with both actions and words is essential for effective witness• Avoid connecting people merely to church activities rather than to Christ Himself• Every believer plays a role in the process – preparing soil, planting, watering, or harvesting• There are only two paths – in Christ or apart from Christ – with no middle groundText us your questions or topic suggestions for future episodes of the Unsexy Church Podcast.

Dante has found his poetic father, Guido Guinizzelli, burning in the fires of lust on the final terrace of Mount Purgatory. Our pilgrim-poet has praised his poetic father for the sweet art that will last.Then Guinizzelli takes the discussion further, morphing that sweetness into truth, offering a metaphysical meaning to a physical sensation. He then proceeds to speak exactly in this sort of poetry, which our poet Dante picks up and uses to conclude this fascinating conversation.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we work through this second and final conversation about the nature of the new poetry and Dante's synthesis of traditions into COMEDY.Please support this work with a one-time donation or a small monthly stipend using this PayPal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:28] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXVI, lines 115 - 135.

The best conversations about the Browns from The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima, Baskin & Phelps, and The Afternoon Drive during the past week. In putting the 2025 season into perspective, the question of Andrew Berry's and Kevin Stefanski's job security comes into focus. Will they be back in 2026, no matter what happens this season? Lima isn't so sure. Many fans don't seem to be crazy about Stefanski. What is the reason for this? And do you feel the same way? What are your hopes for the 2025 campaign? Are the Browns 'punting' this season, with an eye toward 2026? All that and more!

What if the birth certificate was never for your baby—but a tool of control used by the state?In this episode, I sit down with Veda Ray, a freebirthing mother of two, who chose to walk a path most women never even consider: birthing and raising her second child completely outside the system. No pregnancy test. No monitoring. No birth certificate. No social security number.After her first birth at a birth center, Veda knew she wanted something different. This time, she listened deeply—to her body, to her baby, and to her own intuition—and what she heard was clear: this child was to be born free.We go deep into the realities of living outside the system, including how she navigated the legal terrain to secure a passport without government-issued ID, why she believes the birth certificate is a jurisdictional trap, and the spiritual responsibility of saying no to the state's contracts.Inside this episode:What really happens when you don't get a birth certificate or Social Security number for your childThe process Veda used to get a passport without a state-issued IDWhy a “family Bible” can hold legal weight in proving lineage and identityHow the social security number binds your child into the U.S. corporate systemThe link between freebirth and reclaiming jurisdiction over your body and familyWhat it's like to raise a child who has never been registered by the stateThe unseen cost of outsourcing authority—and what you reclaim when you stopTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction[02:01] Choosing radical self-trust after rejecting the medical model[09:21] Learning to sit in the unknown and trust yourself through freebirth[22:54] Rethinking the birth certificate as a contract with the state and choosing a sovereign path instead[26:08] Creating private records to get a passport without a birth certificate[36:47] Using private trusts and EINs as alternatives to social security numbers and state contracts[52:44] Facing fear, claiming trust, and birthing in full sovereignty with family by your sideResources Mentioned:The Business of Being Born | MovieIf you want to connect with Veda, you can find her website here, and follow her @veda.revival.Find more from Emilee on Instagram, YouTube and the Free Birth Society website.Disclaimer: Free Birth Society, LLC of North Carolina shares personal and educational stories and experiences related to freebirth and holistic care.
