The Immigration Lawyers Podcast | Discussing Visas, Green Cards & Citizenship: Practice & Policy
In Episode 426 of the Immigration Lawyers Toolbox® Podcast, host John Q. Khosravi, Esq. interviews Mimi Alcocer, a Texas immigration and criminal defense attorney with years of experience at the crossroads of crimmigration. Mimi discusses her journey from Catholic Charities to launching her own solo practice, her work with public defenders across Texas, and the practical and constitutional impact of the Laken Riley Act (LRA) on immigrant defendants. Together, John and Mimi explore how recent laws and political shifts have made the landscape tougher for practitioners and clients — and why protecting due process matters for everyone.
Leadership is both a skill and a science. Today's focus is on what happens the day AFTER a promotion. The problem with promotions is that being good at your job and being good at leading people can be two distinctly different skill sets. This episode will change the way you think about leadership development. Ready to learn more? Join us!Noel Massie, former VP of Operations at UPS, discusses intentional leadership and value-based development. In his role at UPS, Massie supported and guided package delivery and logistics services in the US, and he continues to mentor young leaders and supervisors even after his retirement in 2019. Drawing from his 40-year career overseeing 200,000 employees, Massie emphasizes that leadership is about influencing behavior without coercion, and that newly promoted supervisors need structured training rather than being thrown into roles unprepared. His book, Congrats! You've Been Promoted, provides practical frameworks like the “four by five method” for feedback and conflict resolution, targeting frontline leaders who are promoted based on technical skills but lack leadership training. You'll learn how conflict can be handled without raising your voice, why feedback needs a 4:1 ratio to actually work, and the real reason newly promoted supervisors derail within their first year. Show Highlights:Defining leadership: “the ability to influence a group or individual in their behaviors without coercion”Understanding leadership development as a scienceThe problem with the promotion gapTips for helping new leaders succeed:Care about them.Act with some level of daily development.Navigating fairness, ethics, and integrity on your teamTips for effective feedback (motivational and formative in a 4:1 ratio)The “four by five method,” with four perspectives and five levels of intensityUsing metaphors to disarm the circumstances of a conflictUsing mentorship and “sticky development” to train leadersNoel's #1 takeaway: “Invest in your development personally.

Send us a textHave you ever had a moment when a tiny scrap of paper changed the entire trajectory of your life? That's exactly what happened to me.After 26 years of marriage marked by repeated betrayal and broken promises, I found myself cleaning up our rental car after what seemed like a perfect family vacation. That's when I discovered it - a crumpled UPS receipt with the name and address of a woman I knew. In that moment, my body recognized the truth before my mind could fully process it. The shaking hands, tightened chest, and the overwhelming urge to escape told me everything I needed to know.For years, I had chosen to stay, to believe things could be different. I had just celebrated my 50th birthday with an elaborate five-day celebration planned by my husband. We had new wedding rings, plans for our dream anniversary trip, and were even going to start a podcast together showing couples how to heal after infidelity. I truly believed we were finally on the right path.But that receipt changed everything. In the aftermath, while attending a fitness class, Cher's powerful lyrics "I'm strong enough to live without you" became my personal mantra. At first, I added "but I'm choosing to stay" - giving myself permission to take time to grow stronger. A year later, when another betrayal surfaced, I finally had the clarity and courage I needed. I chose myself.As a certified trauma-informed life coach, I now help others navigate their own betrayal journeys. Whether you choose to stay or leave, the power to heal already exists within you - you just need to uncover it. Ready to start your healing journey? Take my free quiz on my website to discover which of the seven stages of betrayal you're in right now, and take your first step toward your own "happily even after."In case you want to listen to the podcast episode that I was on with Jody Moore- Better than Happy- Find it here- A Story is Worth 1000 Pictures https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/better-than-happy/id1021836339?i=1000727457140Please follow me on instagram and facebook @happilyevenaftercoach and if you want to see what coaching is all about I offer a free 45 min. clarity call via zoom.

Find out what it really takes to build lasting partnerships in freight and how brokers and carriers can move beyond the transactional mindset in this episode with our returning guest, Dan Lindsey of Broker-Carrier Summit! Dan shares how they're changing the game by creating real face-to-face connections that drive millions in contracted freight, not just theory, but results. We talk about shifting the industry from a “someone has to lose” mentality to building true partnerships where brokers treat carriers like customers and vice versa, how technology fits into the equation—not as a replacement for trust, but as a tool to support it—and why the future of freight depends on balancing automation with human relationships! Broker-Carrier Summit Orlando Registration: https://bcsfreightnetwork.com/ / https://bit.ly/bcs-orlando About Dan Lindsey Dan has been in the logistics industry since 2001 when he began working the preload shift for UPS. Since then, he has worked as a freight broker, operations manager, and business development leader in multiple segments of the industry. His commitment to “doing business the right way” led him to launch Linkage Logistics in March of 2020. Dan is also the driving force behind the Broker-Carrier Summit. Since his focus has always been on establishing deep, mutually agreeable partnerships, his hope is that closer cooperation between brokers and carriers will become the new normal in our industry.

Regulatory whiplash in California as the state effectively held a funeral for the two largest components of the Advanced Clean Fleet Rules, including mandates for high-priority fleets and drayage trucks. Despite the official withdrawal of these mandates by CARB, zero-emission vehicle sales are surprisingly growing in the state, suggesting market momentum is now driven by factors beyond regulatory pressure. The ongoing pricing standoff in the parcel sector, where UPS and FedEx are imposing significant peak season surcharges despite projections for muted demand growth, has heated up. Analysts warn that demanding these high fees in a soft market is short-sighted, leading to a major diversion of volume to alternative carriers like Amazon, Walmart, and independent services like OnTrac. Our brief concludes with the tectonic plates shifting in corporate freight strategy, starting with the massive $85 billion UP-NS merger that is already forcing competitors like CSX to seek its own merger partner after a CEO change. Meanwhile, ArcBest unveiled an ambitious plan to double its adjusted earnings per share by 2028 by targeting a highly optimized, asset-based operating ratio of 87% to 90% through technology and cost controls. Finally, we address the industry's perennial challenge of safety, noting that Wyoming currently tops the list for deadly truck crashes by death rate while Texas leads the nation in total fatalities by volume. These sobering statistics are fueling calls from victim advocates for mandatory safety technology, specifically demanding that all new commercial trucks be equipped with Automatic Emergency Braking.

✨ Have you ever wondered what it looks like to set goals with God instead of on your own? In today's episode, I share 3 powerful steps to partner with Him in creating, dreaming, and walking out your goals. We'll look at: 1️⃣ Realizing you are a creator made in His image 2️⃣ Dreaming and visioning with God's higher perspective 3️⃣ Walking out your goals with His wisdom and guidance When you align your heart with His, you'll see Him do abundantly more than you could ask, think, or imagine (Ephesians 3:20).
professorjrod@gmail.comWhat if the real cause of your random reboots isn't the GPU at all—but the power plan behind it? We take you end to end through a stability-first build, starting with the underrated hero of every system: clean, properly sized power. You'll learn how to calculate wattage with 25–30% headroom, navigate 80 Plus efficiency tiers, and safely adopt ATX 3.0 with the 12VHPWR connector—no sharp bends, modular cable sanity, and the UPS/surge stack that prevents nasty surprises when the lights flicker.From there, we shift into storage strategy that balances speed and safety. HDD, SATA SSD, and NVMe each earn their place, and we break down RAID 0/1/5/6/10 in plain language so you can pick the right array for your workload. We underline a hard truth: RAID protects against disk failure, not human error, so versioned offsite backups remain non-negotiable. Real-world stories—including a painful RAID 5 rebuild gone wrong—highlight why RAID 6 and RAID 10 matter for bigger or busier systems.Memory and CPU round out the backbone. We simplify DDR4 vs DDR5, explain how frequency and CAS affect real latency, and show why matched pairs and dual channel deliver the performance you paid for. You'll get quick wins like enabling XMP/EXPO, when ECC is worth it, and how to troubleshoot training hiccups. Then we open the CPU: cores, threads, cache, sockets, chipsets, and why firmware comes before hardware when upgrades fail to post. Cooling decisions—air, AIO, or custom—tie directly to performance ceilings, along with safe overclock/undervolt practices and thermal targets under sustained load.By the end, you'll have a practical checklist to build smarter, troubleshoot faster, and feel ready for the CompTIA A+ exam: power headroom, cable stewardship, airflow planning, RAID with backups, memory matching, BIOS compatibility, and validation testing. If this guide helps you ship a rock-solid PC, share it with a friend, leave a quick review, and hit follow so you never miss the next masterclass.Support the showIf you want to help me with my research please e-mail me.Professorjrod@gmail.comIf you want to join my question/answer zoom class e-mail me at Professorjrod@gmail.comArt By Sarah/DesmondMusic by Joakim KarudLittle chacha ProductionsJuan Rodriguez can be reached atTikTok @ProfessorJrodProfessorJRod@gmail.com@Prof_JRodInstagram ProfessorJRod

The UK workroom is alive again with the sound of camp cows, Soho girls, Irish girls, indoor divas, the occasionally unclear pun name, both a violin and a nose flute, and a Gregg's in a wig. The Pink Carpet sort-of challenge is essentially a version of Squid Game where you just hope to not get interviewed by Plane Jane, and the runway reminds us that this episode is just one big Meet the Queens.

Embryo Donation, Late Motherhood & Finding Peace After IVF — This is a heartfelt conversation with a past client of mine, Betsy. She shares her personal story about perseverance, choice, and the unexpected routes to parenthood. “Nothing should go untried" - Betsy. Betsy began her fertility journey in 2016, pursued multiple egg retrievals with no viable embryos, and ultimately discovered embryo donation in her mid-40s. She walks us through how she found a matchmaker, navigated the legal and counseling steps, traveled for transfers, and became a mother as a solo parent at the age of 48.We talk honestly about grief and letting go, what it's like to be an “older mom,” the practical logistics (lawyers, transfer costs, embryo transport), meeting her embryo donor, and the sense of peace and fierce love she feels now. This episode is for anyone wondering “Is it too late?” or looking for real-world insight into embryo donation as a pathway to parenthood.I'm so grateful to Betsy for sharing her story and personal insights with us. One of them that resonated with me was, "I let go of a lot of things that didn't really matter — and it helped me get quiet and focus on what I wanted.” — BetsyI'd love to hear your thoughts after listening to this conversation, and if you'd like to connect with Betsy send me a message and I can connect you with her!

Speakers: Mike Klassen, Director of Business Development, ZincFive Sugam Patel, VP of Product Management, DG Matrix In this DCF Trends-Nomads at the Summit Podcast episode, experts from ZincFive and DG Matrix unpack how medium voltage (MV) UPS architectures are redefining the way data centers power up for AI. As AI densification pushes traditional infrastructure to its limits, MV UPS solutions offer a path forward—boosting efficiency, reducing heat and losses, and reclaiming floor space for compute. The conversation delves into how higher voltage translates into smarter, more scalable designs that not only meet the demands of today's high-performance AI workloads but also future-proof facilities for what's coming next. From design frameworks to deployment strategies, Klassen and Patel provide a grounded, technical look at the UPS shift already underway.

How strong is your dividend growth portfolio? Send it to us for a free evaluation at dcm.team@growmydollar.com. Plus, join our market newsletter for more on dividend growth investing.________When a stock's price is falling, its yield is sky-high, and there's plenty of doubt, it looks like a classic value trap. Does it ever make sense for dividend growth investors to walk into that trap? Sometimes, what's under the hood tells a very different story.In Episode 51, Greg revisits UPS ($UPS), a company we last covered years ago but is now back on our radar for entirely new reasons. Rising wages, Amazon contract changes, and global trade tariffs have cut the stock price in half since 2022, sending its dividend yield toward 8%. At first glance, it looks like the market is pricing it for a dividend cut.But step behind the headlines, and the story gets more compelling: UPS continues to post solid margins, generates strong cash flow, and has the scale and efficiency to remain a leader in global logistics. Even if a dividend cut occurs, investors may still come out ahead with sustainable yields and renewed dividend growth potential. Greg breaks down the scenarios, risks, and catalysts that make UPS a compelling story to consider.Topics Covered: [00:03:32] Why UPS looks like a high-yield “problem child” but may still be a dividend growth play[00:06:20] UPS's history: growth in revenue, profits, and dividends since 1999[00:09:58] The “trifecta” of headwinds—union wage hikes, Amazon contract cuts, and tariffs[00:12:36] Comparing UPS vs. FedEx ($FDX), Amazon ($AMZN), USPS, and DHL in market share and profitability[00:19:57] How AI could improve delivery efficiency[00:21:12] Business metrics, profitability, debt profile, and why UPS's financing signals investor confidence[00:25:27] The dividend dilemma: can UPS sustain its payout, or is a cut coming?[00:27:44] Three scenarios: steady dividend, improved valuation, or a cut that resets growth[00:31:47] Long-term catalysts: tariffs, Amazon shifts, and global trade recovery[00:33:37] What research firms (Morningstar, Value Line) are projecting for UPS[00:34:56] Final take: UPS as a value play that still pays you to waitSend us a textDisclaimer: This discussion is for educational purposes only and not investment advice.

Ever wondered why so many home inspectors struggle when they try to break into commercial inspections? James Hooper, owner of Bridgetown Inspections and Oregon Commercial Inspections, reveals the stark reality: it's not just a bigger version of what you're already doing—it's an entirely different business requiring a complete professional transformation.Hooper's journey began like many others, juggling a full-time job at UPS while building his home inspection business. After receiving increasing inquiries for commercial work, he recognized the need for a dedicated approach, eventually establishing Oregon Commercial Inspections as a separate entity with its own professional identity. Now running five commercial inspections in a single week, he shares the critical lessons that made this transition successful.The conversation dives deep into why the typical home inspector approach fails in commercial settings. From professional appearance (no more shorts and untucked shirts) to sophisticated client communication systems, commercial clients expect business-level service at every touchpoint. As Hooper puts it, "It's not even a marketing edge—it's a completely different ballpark." When potential clients mention finding him specifically because "everyone else is just a home inspector," it highlights how crucial proper positioning is in this market.What truly sets successful commercial inspectors apart is their understanding of business beyond buildings. Hooper recommends studying various industries to understand client needs better—whether it's knowing what a brewery requires for operations or helping a client navigate triple net lease terms. This broader business acumen transforms an inspector from a vendor into a valuable resource that clients return to repeatedly.Want to elevate your inspection business into the commercial realm? Start by creating a separate professional brand, developing sophisticated communication processes, and investing in education through organizations like CCPIA.

Suzi talks to Sebastian Budgen in Paris about the collapse of Prime Minister François Bayrou's government and the “Block Everything” mobilization against Macron's austerity agenda, which brought unions, students, and grassroots activists into the streets. Another national strike is set for September 18. What makes this mobilization different — and what does the crisis mean for the Left, the far right, Macron's presidency, and the future of the Fifth Republic? Suzi then talks to Joe Allen about his new book Teamsterland, exploring the Teamsters' notoriety and contradictions, the near-strike at UPS, and how Teamsters president Sean O'Brien's embrace of Trump mirrors the challenges facing US labor today. Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman features conversations with leading thinkers and activists, with a focus on labor, the economy, and protest movements.
Life has its ups and downs, doesn't it? Some mornings I wake up full of energy and everything feels great. Other mornings, I'm tired, stressed, or just not sure if I can hear God clearly. Maybe you've felt the same. The Lord showed me something so encouraging recently—that no matter how big or small the “gap” feels between us and Him, He always fills it. On days when it feels like I'm only 10% distant, He covers that. On days when it feels like 80%, His grace fills that too. The truth is, He's always 100% close. In this video, I share how we can navigate both good and hard days with Jesus, letting Him carry the weight and remind us that His joy is our strength. My prayer is that you'll be encouraged today to simply come to Him and let Him fill the gap. As always,

In this episode, we go over yield traps and why abnormally high dividends often signal business stress rather than easy income. We walk through how falling share prices inflate trailing yields, why payout ratios and free cash flow coverage matter, how special dividends can skew TTM yields, and when sector “norms” turn into red flags. To make things easier to spot, we do a sector by sector overview of what is considered a normal yield and what is considered a high and likely unsustainable dividend yield.
