You've worked hard to build wealth through real estate, but how do you protect your investment when it's time to sell? For most people, the tax law around capital gains is highly complex, and the implications can be downright paralyzing. Beyond significant capital gains tax, you may also owe on depreciable assets, a Medicare surcharge, and state taxes. What are the legal options to minimize the tax burden, and how do they fit into an estate plan?  Jeff sits down with Peter May, JD, LLM, CFP, and Ross Rubin, MBA, of DST Sherpa, LLC, to discuss a powerful—and often overlooked—exit strategy: the Delaware Statutory Trust (DST). As part of a 2004 Internal Revenue Service ruling, a DST lets an investor sell property, defer capital gains taxes through a 1031 Exchange, and transition to passive, hassle-free real estate ownership.  Learn more at https://www.dstsherpa.com/ or contact us to schedule an initial, no-cost consultation.

In Part 2 of their conversation with licensed marriage and family therapist Ashley Buckner, the Sunday School Dropouts crew explores the deeper psychological and therapeutic impact of Mormon purity culture. Ashley shares clinical insights into how LDS structures such as worthiness interviews, the Law of Chastity, and confession culture shape a person's relationship with their body, sexuality, and sense of autonomy. Drawing from both her professional work and personal experience growing up in an unorthodox Mormon community, Ashley discusses the lasting effects purity culture can have on survivors of childhood sexual abuse, including shame cycles, anxiety, disembodiment, and difficulty trusting oneself. The conversation also addresses institutional failures within the church's handling of abuse, gender specific harms caused by purity teachings, and what real healing can look like through body based therapies, supportive communities, and rebuilding safety and self trust outside high control religion.Share your purity culture stories with us by leaving a voicemail or sending your story to us!Guest Info: Social Media: @ashleyb_therapyResources discussed in this episode: Melissa Urban - The Book of BoundariesNon Violent Communication bookNon Violent Communication graphicThis podcast is brought to you by the Center for Trauma Resolution and Recovery: an online trauma coaching company whose practitioners are trauma informed and trauma trained to work with individuals, couples and families who have experienced high control religion, cults, and religious trauma.

Why does a system designed to collect revenue require tens of thousands of pages, specialized software, and entire professions just to interpret it?In this episode, Michael and Taylor unpack why the U.S. tax code feels so difficult to understand — and why that confusion may not be accidental. From arbitrary rules and income “cliffs” to behavior-shaping credits and deductions, we explore how the tax code has evolved from a revenue tool into something far more complicated. Along the way, we share real client stories that reveal how complexity affects everyday decisions — sometimes in surprising and costly ways. If you've ever wondered why taxes feel harder than they should, this episode connects the dots.

This Dhamma talk was offered on February 28, 2026 at Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery.

What does it actually mean to lead your home? In a world that oscillates between toxic passivity and toxic dominance, the biblical definition of a "Godly Husband" often gets lost in the noise. In this episode, Nathan and Andrea break down the architecture of biblical manhood. It isn't about being the loudest voice in the room or the one with the final say on every nickel spent; it's about being the first to sacrifice and the last to leave the gap. Join us as we discuss the "Blueprint of a Godly Husband," moving past the checklists and into a heart of service that reflects Christ's love for the Church. Listen to the new episode:

We begin a new series on salvation.It's a word that can feel outdated, divisive, or misused. Yet beneath the discomfort, the human question remains: What saves us? What saves a culture? What saves us from ourselves?In this opening episode, Patrick and Jonah revisit salvation through the movement of the liturgical year and through lived experience. They explore the difference between true Light and false light, the danger of coercive religion, and the possibility that the image of God already lives within the human being.Through scripture, biography, and contemporary reflections on technology and AI, the conversation suggests that salvation has not disappeared — it has migrated. The longing for rescue persists, even if the language has changed.This episode sets the stage for the series to come.Support the showThe Light in Every Thing is a podcast of The Seminary of The Christian Community in North America.

On this show… we're taking a deep dive into The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz and exploring how the quiet agreements you've made with yourself might be shaping your entire life. Have you ever reacted to something and later thought, “Why did that hit me so hard?” Or found yourself apologizing for something that wasn't really yours to carry? Or maybe you've replayed a conversation in your mind for hours, dissecting tone, word choice, facial expressions, wondering what you did wrong. Sometimes it feels like we're walking through life carrying invisible contracts. Rules we never consciously signed. Expectations we didn't knowingly agree to. Promises we made somewhere along the way to be smaller, quieter, more agreeable… or maybe tougher, less emotional, more perfect. And the wild part? Most of these agreements weren't even chosen by us. They were absorbed. Picked up in childhood. Handed down in classrooms. Reinforced in relationships. Whispered in moments when we were too young to question them. The Four Agreements sounds simple. Almost too simple. But simplicity has a way of cutting through noise. It has a way of revealing where we've complicated our lives by trying to manage everyone else's thoughts, reactions, and expectations. Today, I want us to gently test the agreements we're living by. The spoken ones. The unspoken ones. The ones that keep us over-apologizing, overthinking, over-functioning. Because here's the truth: you are responsible for your thinking. But you are not responsible for someone else's. CHALLENGE: When you feel the urge to take something personally, make an assumption, or blame yourself automatically, pause and ask, “Is this truly mine to carry?” Replace just one old belief with something kinder and more accurate. You don't have to rewrite your entire story overnight. Just loosen one thread. I Know YOU Can Do It!

There are times when individual emotions merge into something larger: an atmosphere of fear, reactivity, or escalation that seems to move through communities and conversations alike.In this week's Mystery School, Shakti Durga explores the phenomenon of collective emotional merging—what she refers to as “blobbing”—and how it operates within mass consciousness. She speaks to how the mind and emotional body can become hooked by shared fear, disrupting clarity, compassion, and wise communication. This episode offers insight into restoring inner sovereignty and how to disentangle from collective turbulence to return to grounded awareness.

Untangling the Political Roots of Immigration and Inequality in the United States (Routledge, 2026) examines the causes, consequences, and politics of mass migration and growing inequality by investigating the case of the United States – the quintessential immigrant nation. While scholars, policy makers, and advocates have put forth a variety of explanations, many misdiagnose the causes and put forward remedies that treat symptoms. This book looks to the root causes of mass migration and intensifying inequality, arguing that they are two sides of the same coin resulting from rapacious forms of capitalist accumulation and imperialist interventionism. Developing a broadly left analytic framework grounded in elements of Marxist theory and political science, two periods are examined – 1870–1925 and 1970–2025 – when the proportion of immigrants in the US peaked at 15% of the total population, the US experienced steep inequality and political polarization, immigration and inequality became contentious political issues that generated sharp conflict, and immigrants and workers organized mass movements that advanced radical politics and transformative change. This book contains a wealth of information and elevates valuable lessons for scholars, policy makers, and organizers interested in understanding these trends and forging equitable and just solutions today.

I talk with Alexandra Wyman, a mom, author, podcast host, and pediatric occupational therapist who became a single mom after losing her husband to suicide just four days before their second wedding anniversary. Alexandra shares how she spent years following the “checklist” for a perfect life—college, career, marriage, house, kids—and how it finally felt like everything had clicked when she met her husband and started a family. When he died by suicide, that entire vision disappeared overnight, and she was left grieving not only her husband, but the life, identity, and future she thought she was supposed to have. We dig into what grief really looks like behind the scenes: Feeling like a shell of a person and having almost no capacity.Letting the smallest things be enough—sometimes just getting out of bed or giving her one-year-old a bath. Finding an anchor (for her, it was her son) as a reason to keep going, even when nothing made sense. Alexandra talks honestly about the social side of grief—how some people you expect to show up don't, how others quietly check in with simple “thinking of you” messages that mean everything, and how little we're taught about death, estates, and supporting someone through profound loss. We also explore the inner work she's done: Untangling people-pleasing, outcome-controlling, and long-held feelings of abandonment and low self-worth.Learning she didn't need a partner to “complete” her; her wholeness was already within her. Blending neuroscience (understanding what grief does to the brain) with spirituality (leaning on her “spirit team” and a bigger sense of purpose). As a mom, Alexandra is now focused on raising her son to be grounded in who he is, instead of seeking validation from others. She's shifted away from the idea that kids' behavior defines a parent's worth, and instead sees parenting as a mutual learning process where both parent and child are growing, regulating, and healing together. Out of her experience, Alexandra created: Her book, ⁠The Suicide Club: What to Do When Someone You Love Chooses Death, ⁠written as the handbook she wishes she'd had.Her podcast, ⁠Forward to Joy, where she shares tools and stories ⁠about grief, healing, and finding meaning after loss. This conversation is for any mom whose life doesn't look the way she thought it would, who feels like she's rebuilding from the ground up. Alexandra reminds us that grief isn't linear, joy isn't off-limits, and it's okay to move forward in baby steps—one small act of living and loving at a time. Connect with Alexadra's podcast here.

If your AR feels like a maze of phone calls, spreadsheets, and “we'll match it later,” this conversation shows a cleaner path. We sit down with Fauwaz Hussain, Senior Director of B2B Partnerships and Strategy at Global Payments, to break down what actually speeds cash and what quietly stalls it. From card-not-present realities to complex terms and partial shipments, we map the B2B differences that make order-to-cash harder and the practical changes that remove friction fast.We get specific about embedding payments inside your ERP so invoices, settlements, and the general ledger line up automatically. That shift kills rekeying errors, collapses department silos, and gives support, sales, and finance the same live truth. Security gets stronger when card data never touches email or recorded calls, and PCI compliance becomes manageable when you use certified, cloud-based vaults and enforce simple rules like “no cards by phone.” Fauwaz explains why publishers like Microsoft, SAP, and Sage now run tighter marketplaces, how VARs and ISVs evaluate payment apps, and why a one-stop provider reduces risk across gateways, vaults, and processing.We also cover the cash-flow moves that work right away: self-serve portals with open invoices, one-click payment links by email or text, stored credentials for auto-pay, and accepting multiple methods from ACH to single-use virtual cards. Then we look forward - AI-driven cash application, predictive delinquencies, Level 2/3 data validation, and API-first architectures that connect e-commerce, field service, and ERP into a single payment fabric. If you're leading AR, finance, or operations, you'll leave with a clear playbook to modernize without compromising compliance.

Episode #482: “My main mission, so to speak, is to clarify the differences between the many rumors about Myanmar... the myths going on both inside and outside the country, which are all very much related.” Hans-Bernd Zöllner, a Protestant minister turned scholar, has spent decades exploring how Buddhism, politics, and myth intertwine in Myanmar's history. From his first trip in the 1980s, he resisted Western portrayals that reduced Burma to a struggle between good and evil. “The media have their own image of Myanmar, which is still… like a confrontational view between good and evil.” He insists that such binaries ignore the cultural and religious frameworks that shape Burmese politics. At the heart of his analysis lies democracy. “The Burmese concept of democracy is a concept of qualitative democracy, the quality of the rulers comes first. And the Western concept is a concept of quantitative democracy, the number of votes comes first.” For a brief period, he notes, Suu Kyi's vision of righteous, elected rule coexisted with the military's karmic claim to legitimacy. That uneasy balance collapsed, culminating in the 2021 coup— another turn in Burma's recurring cycle of unity and rupture. Buddhism, Zöllner argues, is central to understanding this cycle. Where kings once ruled with monastic support, the generals after 1988 claimed legitimacy through karma and ritual. Monks like Sitagu Sayadaw reinforced this by endorsing military campaigns as protection of the faith. Suu Kyi, by contrast, drew from another Buddhist tradition— the ruler chosen for justice and order. These clashing concepts explain why she was venerated at home but misunderstood abroad, and in his mind, also explain why the 2021 coup was inevitable. Zöllner closes on a personal note: “Institutionalized religion is always a problem, and we have to try to find our own way to live by a personal religion that can guide daily life and encourage good deeds.”

As we celebrate the release of season three of Futuro Studios’ hit-show La Brega, we take you back to where it all first started: Season 1, Episode 1. Host Alana Casanova-Burgess sets out to define the many meanings of “la brega”—one of them being the struggle—and its ubiquity among Boricuas. Alana takes us from potholes, to protests and metaphors, to compile all of the possible meanings that lie within “la brega”, she looks at how it sometimes asks too much of Puerto Ricans and how, at the same time, the word itself has an innate sense of hope. Latino USA is the longest-running news and culture radio program in the U.S., centering Latino stories and hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Maria Hinojosa.

Maintaining software over time rarely fails because of one bad decision. It fails because teams stop getting clear signals… and start guessing.In this episode, Robby talks with Lucas Roesler, Managing Partner and CTO at Contiamo. Lucas joins from Berlin to unpack what maintainability looks like in practice when you are dealing with real constraints… limited context, missing documentation, and systems that resist understanding.A big through-line is feedback. Lucas argues that long-lived systems become easier to change when they provide fast, trustworthy signals about what they are doing. That can look like tests that validate assumptions, tooling that makes runtime behavior visible, and a habit of designing for observability instead of treating it as a bolt-on.The conversation also gets concrete. Lucas shares a modernization effort built on a decade-old tangle of database logic… views, triggers, stored procedures, and materializations… created by a single engineer who was no longer around. With little documentation to lean on, the team had to build their own approach to “reading” the system and mapping dependencies before they could safely change anything.If you maintain software that has outlived its original authors, this is a grounded look at what helps teams move from uncertainty to confidence… without heroics, and without rewriting for sport.Episode Highlights[00:00:46] What well-maintained software has in common: Robby asks Lucas what traits show up in systems that hold together over time.[00:03:25] Readability at runtime: Lucas connects maintainability to observability and understanding what a system actually did.[00:16:08] Writing the system down as code: Infrastructure, CI/CD, and processes as code to reduce guesswork and improve reproducibility.[00:17:42] How client engagements work in practice: How Lucas' team collaborates with internal engineering teams and hands work off.[00:25:21] The “rat's nest” modernization story: Untangling a legacy data system with years of database logic and missing context.[00:29:40] Making data work testable: Why testability matters even when the “code” is SQL and pipelines.[00:34:59] Pivot back to feedback loops: Robby steers into why logs, metrics, and tracing shape better decision-making.[00:35:20] Why teams avoid metrics and tracing: The organizational friction of adding “one more component.”[00:42:59] Local observability with Grafana: Using visual feedback to spot waterfalls, sequential work, and hidden coupling.[00:50:00] Non-technical book recommendations: What Lucas reads and recommends outside of software.Links & ReferencesGuest and CompanyLucas Roesler: https://lucasroesler.com/Contiamo: https://contiamo.com/SocialMastodon: https://floss.social/@theaxerBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/theaxer.bsky.socialBooks MentionedThe Wheel of Time (Robert Jordan): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wheel_of_TimeAccelerando (Charles Stross): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AccelerandoCharles Stross: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_StrossThanks to Our Sponsor!Turn hours of debugging into just minutes!

THE MOST MISUSED VERSE ON WOMEN IN MINISTRY is 1 Timothy 2:12. We untagle the meaning in this episode of The Eden Podcast! We ask and answer just WHO were the men and women of 1 Timothy 2:8 and 9-15?? 1 Timothy 3:1 gives the clue! These were the wayward men and women overseers Timothy was left in Ephesus to correct.There is so much error-filled teaching on these verses to be set aside. Here we use the patterns of the passage to unlock the positive meaning of these verses for men and women who aspire to oversight in the church. From Book 3 in The Eden Book Series by Bruce C. E. Fleming. The Tru316 Foundation (www.Tru316.com) is the home of The Eden Podcast with Bruce C. E. Fleming where we “true” the verse of Genesis 3:16. The Tru316 Message is that “God didn't curse Eve (or Adam) or limit woman in any way.” Once Genesis 3:16 is made clear the other passages on women and men become clear too. You are encouraged to access the episodes of Seasons 1-11 of The Eden Podcast for teaching on the seven key passages on women and men. Are you a reader? We invite you to get from Amazon the four books by Bruce C. E. Fleming in The Eden Book Series (Tru316.com/trubooks). Would you like to support the work of the Tru316 Foundation?

All the pups we love—from chihuahuas to great danes—are descendants of the mighty gray wolf. But how did we end up with so many breeds? The story that's often told is that dog diversity really took off with the Victorians in the 1800s, but new research is unleashing a different tale. Host Flora Lichtman talks with bioarchaeologist Carly Ameen about the diversification of dogs. Plus, a long-running experiment to tame silver foxes is cluing us into how domestication happens.

Faith is meant to bring life. But what happens when it become harmful? In this episode, Dr. Carol sits down with Jeff and Terra Mattson, a husband-and-wife author team whose work bridges leadership, psychology, and spiritual formation. He brings the perspective of an executive coach; she offers the clinical insight of a licensed professional counselor. Together, we explore the idea of toxic faith: how faith can be distorted through fear, control, shame, or misuse of authority, and how to discern the difference between spiritually abusive systems and the ordinary, imperfect humanness found in any community. We also examine the deep impact of spiritual abuse on the whole person and why its effects often linger long after someone leaves a harmful environment. Most importantly, this conversation offers hope. We talk about what healing can actually look like, including the slow and courageous work of re-examining one's internal view of God. For those who feel wounded, confused, or distant from God because of their faith experiences, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a grounded path toward restoration.

Today we're talking about Gerald Gardner, why he's called the father of modern Wicca, and how a prescription for nudism somehow became part of the origin story. Along the way we sort out a big misconception, why Wicca isn't the same thing as witchcraft, and how witchcraft existed long before Wicca ever had a name.We dig into the timeline, Gardner's rise in the 1950s after the repeal of Britain's Witchcraft Act, his public “yep, I'm a witch” moment, and the way figures like Doreen Valiente helped shape (and challenge) what Wicca became. Then we get into the messy bits, such as questionable credentials, borrowed material, rigid hierarchy, secrecy, gender roles, and why some of this still echoes in modern “love and light” spirituality.Finally, we unpack the Wiccan ethics everyone argues about online, from the Wiccan Rede (“harm none”) to the Threefold Law, including why it's often treated like karma… and why that comparison falls apart when you look at karma's actual roots.Join our Patreon for bonus episodes, magical downloads, and unhinged side quests: https://www.patreon.com/demystifymagicPre-order Molly's book Mundane Magic A Lazy Witch's Guide to Hacking Your Brain, Building a Daily Practice, and Getting Stuff DonePreorder Mundane Magic & Join the Virtual Book Tour⁠: Celebrate the release of Molly's new book with an exclusive online event on Feb 21, 12 PM EST.
