This week, the Supreme Court blessed the torture of a condemned woman, and the court is set to kick off the new term by doing fossil fuel's bidding. So here at Amicus, we're not really in the mood for a razzle-dazzle “curtain raiser.” Instead, we're taking a clear-eyed look at the ways the Roberts court is pulling the constitutional rug out from under the American people. First, Dahlia is joined by Corinna Barrett Lain, author of Secrets of the Killing State: The Untold Story of Lethal Injection, to discuss the botched execution of Christa Pike. After the Supreme Court overturned a last-minute stay without explanation, Tennessee attempted to execute Pike by lethal injection—twice. She survived and was taken to hospital where doctors tried to save her life. She was unconscious and on a ventilator at the time of writing. Professor Lain explains how lethal injection's medicalized facade hides state violence, why the court keeps green-lighting botched protocols, and what Pike's case reveals about a system that executes the broken and the poor while sparing those who can afford good lawyers.Then, Dahlia speaks with Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island about the Supreme Court's new term and its fossil-fuel patrons. They discuss the Suncor v. Boulder climate case, the flotilla of billionaire-funded front groups filing amicus briefs to signal the court's captured justices. Should we be optimistic that Alito has recused himself from the case that opens the term? Sen. Whitehouse says it is unlikely that decision reflects any sort of come-to-Jesus moment. It suggests instead that, if the Democrats take power in the midterms, the Supreme Court's internal practices must be investigated. Although his peers are longing to return to regular, orderly government, the senator says “there has to be a reset.” Want more Amicus?

Episode Summary In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and co-host Road Dog deliver an energetic, honest deep-dive into core principles for coaching business success—from the real meaning of the 80/20 rule, the power (and pitfalls) of focus, and the truth about scaling and client retention, to addressing anxiety as the price of ambition. With playful banter and actionable wisdom, Karl busts common myths, unpacks the signal-to-noise concept with lessons from Steve Jobs and Elon Musk, and shares unique rules for coaches to build stronger, longer client relationships and higher-performing businesses. Key Topics Covered The Real 80/20 Principle in Business Karl Bryan explores how Steve Jobs' return to Apple and Nike's turnaround show 80/20 thinking in action—cutting unproductive offerings to amplify the best. Examples span from Google, McDonald's, and clothing companies to coaching: focus on the assets and relationships that drive the bulk of your results (03:14–08:00). Contrarian Takes on Coaching Advice Why "do what you love and money will follow" is overrated—do what you're good at, fall in love with sales, marketing, and solving problems (09:03). Challenging the E-Myth idea of leaving a business for six months: rare in reality, context matters. The myth of "multiple streams of income": not wise until your primary business is reliably selling at high volume for an extended period (13:09). Signal vs. Noise: Working Smarter, Not Harder Inspired by Steve Jobs and Elon Musk, Karl Bryan discusses eliminating "busywork" and prioritizing the vital few actions that make the boat go faster (19:31). How to apply signal-to-noise thinking in project planning, debates, and even national economic policy. Unique, Underdiscussed Coaching Rules Nothing in life (or business) is a straight line—it's all about adapting to unpredictable curves. The formula for failure: too much time and too many distractions. The formula for success: tight deadlines and single focus. Networking and environment: strategically positioning yourself in high-value places accelerates opportunities (29:53). Client Retention, Relationship Building, and Mindset Clients stay because they like you—make business relationships more personal and long-term. Life needs to break you to wake you—how overcoming adversity can be a launching pad for bigger breakthroughs. Addressing anxiety: the hidden currency of ambition, and why planning and taking action melts anxiety (41:14). Notable Quotes "Starve the trivial many so the vital few can do their magic and compound." "Do what you're good at—that's how you make lots of money. Fall in love with selling, marketing, content creation, problem-solving… that's how you crush it." "Put all your eggs in one basket, and watch that basket really, really, really carefully." "Motion is noise; signal is the results. The ultimate measure of working smarter is a low signal-to-noise ratio." "Your greatest successes will come through other people." "Anxiety is the price of ambition… Successful people are worrying, anxious addicts." "Remember: progress equals happiness." Actionable Takeaways 1. Ruthlessly Identify & Double Down on Your 80/20 Map out what drives the majority of your revenues, client results, and business growth. Focus there; cut or minimize the distracting rest. 2. Stop Chasing Every Trend—Master Your One Main Thing Until you have a $5M+ business (or stable, strong revenue), don't split your focus into multiple streams. Place all eggs in one basket, watch it obsessively. 3. Build Relationships for the Long Term Move beyond transactional coaching—clients stay (and refer) when they genuinely like you. Invest in those relationships (even outside the boardroom). 4. Remove "Busywork"—Prioritize Like Jobs/Musk Before acting, ask: will this move me measurably closer to my goal? If not, drop it. Efficient action beats constant activity. 5. Create Momentum by Changing Your Environment Network in higher-end venues, luxury lobbies, or wherever your ideal clients are. Uplevel conversations and connections. 6. Face Anxiety by Doing the Planning and the Work Document best/worst/probable scenarios. The act of planning, not the plan itself, reduces anxiety and increases confidence. 7. Serve and Connect—Fight the Epidemic of Loneliness Facilitate connection and belonging (like Swifties and Taylor Swift); people stay for how you make them feel.

“Sol Luckman's latest book, HOW TO RUN DOWN A DREAM, goes far beyond the usual trends of manifesting external material desires. Instead, the book runs down a very different dream: the potential that resides inside each of us to fully connect with and embody our true, authentic sovereignty.” —Trauma Matrix | Emma LyonsThe World Cult forever endeavors to convince you to sustain it by propagating the twin lies that 1) shame is necessary for morality and empathy and 2) the shame voice of the inner narcissist is the voice of reason.The bitter irony is that shame inevitably destroys empathy, decoheres identity, makes for compliant silence, and trains individuals to outsource their ethics and morality. This renders people predictable and easy to trigger and manage.Meanwhile, the voice of the inner narcissist is actually the voice of madness.We're left with a bipolar Panopticon of self-policing where well-meaning people—driven by the belief that shaming is “for our own good”—traumatize others just as they were abused, ensuring that the parasitic system is constantly fed by fresh waves of reactivity and pain.Most poignantly, this dynamic plays out again and again in how we raise our children, guaranteeing that trauma becomes intergenerational.—Sol Luckman, HOW TO RUN DOWN A DREAM Thank you for subscribing.

Unusual Plants for Fall   Forget about mums and asters, these lesser-known gems will truly help your late season garden sparkle   Maybe it's time to retire some late-season staples have had their moment (okay, several decades of moments). This episode, we're digging into the  dark horses that most gardeners walk right past: the weird bulbs, the sneaky reseeders, the plants that wait until everyone else has packed it in to finally show off.  We'll talk about why fall gardens don't have to look like a grocery store endcap, which underrated perennials are quietly having their best month right now, and how a few unusual picks can take your October garden from "fine" to genuinely sparkling.  If you're ready to retire the same five fall plants everyone else is using, this one's for you.   Dr. Andy Pulte is a contributing editor to Fine Gardening and a faculty member in the plant sciences department at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.  Richie Steffen is a contributing editor to Fine Gardening and the executive director of the Miller Garden in Seattle.  Learn more about the plants in this episode on our website: https://www.finegardening.com/podcast

Israel has accomplished more in 78 years against overwhelming odds than any nation in history The Jay Shapiro Show 14SEP2026 - PODCAST

The Supreme Court just took a case about assault weapon bans, and the whole fight turns on four words from Heller: dangerous and unusual. Attorney Alan Beck, who won Wolford at the Supreme Court, wrote an amicus brief arguing that courts have had those words backwards for years. Unusual never meant rare. It meant carrying a weapon in a way meant to terrify people, and the distinction goes back to English common law in 1328. Also this week: a retired Navy SEAL says 18 year olds cannot be trusted with a firearm off duty, and we take that apart. Anti gun groups demanded better data on defensive gun use and got a number more than twice what they expected. A school board candidate in South San Diego County gets attacked for our endorsement, and her reason for carrying is one nobody bothered to ask about. Plus the Dixie Chicks, and a straight answer on which home defense shotgun to buy.

Today's Bible Verse: "So the people shouted, and the trumpets were blown. As soon as the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they captured the city." - Joshua 6:20 What do you do when God gives you instructions that don't make sense? Joshua 6:20 reminds us that trusting God sometimes means following an unusual path and obeying even when we don't understand how His plan will work. The Israelites didn't conquer Jericho through their own strength or strategy—they trusted God's instructions, acted in faith, and witnessed His power. Want more encouragement throughout your week?

In hour 1 of The Mark Reardon Show, Mark is joined by John Reeves, appellate specialist, former Assistant Missouri Attorney General, and civil law attorney with Reeves Law LLC in Clayton, to discuss the latest dramatic developments in the legal battle over Missouri's congressional map. John details the U.S. Supreme Court's decision blocking the new GOP-drawn map and reverting the state to the 2022 district lines, the procedural interplay between state and federal court orders, and the resolution of the Missouri Supreme Court's contempt hearing involving Secretary of State Denny Hoskins. Mark is then joined by Peter Savodnik, Senior Editor for The Free Press, to reflect on the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk's assassination and examine how the event has impacted American political discourse. Peter discusses the fracturing within the American right, the rise of conspiracy theories and internal factionalism, and how the political landscape has shifted over the past year. The two also analyze the dynamics shaping the upcoming midterm elections, including the GOP Midterm Convention in Dallas, Texas, shifting voter motivations, and the broader political climate leading up to the election.

In this episode I am joined by Peter Kelly, independent spiritual teacher and author of “The Phoenix Birth” and “The Saturated Breath”. Peter recalls his troubled childhood, struggles with crime and addiction, imprisonment, and subsequent spiritual quest. Peter recounts what he describes as a series of powerful spiritual initiations that he believes have led him to the level of adept, how his use and facilitation of ayahuasca trips contributed to his path, and the role that esoteric reading has played in informing his insights. Peter reveals that he has slept for only 30 minutes a night for most of his life, details childhood astral learning and experiences of gnosis in contact with ascended masters such as Kuthumi, and emphasises the importance of fully embodying spiritual truth. I also question Peter about his claim to specialise in the “alchemy of the Egyptian Priesthood and Hermetic Traditions, the sacred wisdom of the fire temples of Zoroastrianism, and the Qabalah of the Essene and Mosaic traditions”, among others and suggest that in doing so he risks misrepresenting both those traditions and his own teachings. … Episode link in bio.

After a late night message neither of you expected, you find yourself invited somewhere… quieter. In this continuation, the night deepens into something more intimate as she brings you into her garden, an unusual place where memory, emotion, and sensation intertwine. What begins as distraction becomes something softer… and something harder to ignore.

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman open on the Iran war flaring back up after a month of quiet, with new strikes exchanged, a missile wiping out a base in Jordan, and Trump posting AI-generated videos of Kharg Island being obliterated while the real military runs out of interceptors. Meanwhile, leaked Pentagon documents reveal six four-star generals filed formal dissent against extending the campaign, and Defense Secretary Hegseth's response to the worst military crisis in a generation is to start visiting Iowa and South Carolina for a 2028 presidential run. They trace the Venezuela oil grab for what it is: the U.S. overthrew a government, installed a puppet, and that puppet just signed over 100 years of oil rights to an unnamed private company while 80% of Venezuelan households live in poverty. From there they connect the collapsing food supply, where blueberries are killing people and Trump is deregulating meat processing live on Glenn Beck's radio show, to the Project 2025 blueprint that laid all of this out in black and white. They close on Jim Clyburn going on Meet the Press to announce that impeachment is not a Democratic priority, which tells you everything about why Hakeem Jeffries was meeting with Jared Kushner last week: the captured resistance has no plans and no platform two months before the midterms.

Millions of bison once roamed North America, from Alaska to North Carolina. After being hunted to near extinction, fewer than 1,000 were left by the late 1800s. Today, bison and a handful of other large animals are having a surprising renaissance. We speak with the author of a new book about why many animal populations have plummeted and why some are making an unexpected comeback.
