In this episode of “Tax Stuff You Should Know,” hosts Bob Pluth and Gene Magidenko discuss a significant Fifth Circuit reversal of its earlier decision addressing the self-employment tax treatment of limited partners. They revisit the determination of limited partner status for purposes of determining self-employment taxes and why that distinction can have major tax consequences for partnerships and their owners. The conversation also examines the ongoing debate between bright-line and functional tests for determining limited partner status, the challenges created by evolving partnership structures, and that future action from the US Treasury or US Congress is needed to bring greater clarity to this complex area of tax law. Key Takeaways - Limited partner status can significantly affect self-employment tax liability. - Courts continue to grapple with how limited partner status should be determined. - Bright-line and functional approaches offer competing frameworks for analysis. - The Fifth Circuit's decision may influence future partnership tax planning. - The promulgation of regulations by Treasury or the clarification of the law by Congress is necessary to resolve longstanding questions in this area. NOTE: On September 17, subsequent to the recording of this podcast, the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit held in Soroban Capital Partners LP v. Commissioner that, for self-employment tax purposes, a “limited partner” means one who has limited liability and does not run, manage, or control the partnership's business, affirming the Tax Court's functional approach.

A review of the week's major US international tax-related news. In this edition:   US Congress returns for short session before adjourning for November mid-term elections – IRS releases proposed rules to implement OBBBA NCTI and FDDEI expense apportionment provisions – President Trump amends rules for new Canadian tariffs and import prohibitions – OECD releases global information return with side-by-side package.

Donald Trump has pledged a payment of $5,000 to every adult American citizen if the Republicans win in the November midterms. The outlandish proposal, which would cost over $1tn, immediately raised legal and ethical concerns. It comes as the president's approval rating has hit a record low, hovering at about 38%.

How Nepali Immigrants Built a Federal Bank in the US | Suman Raj Timsina (CEO, Everest Federal Credit Union) In this episode of The Doers, we sit down with Suman Raj Timsina, CEO of Everest Federal Credit Union (EFCU) and Executive Director at the International Development Institute. EFCU stands as the first and only financial institution chartered specifically for the Nepali diaspora across the United States. Note: Everest Federal Credit Union (EFCU) is a federally chartered, NCUA-insured credit union operating as a full-service community financial institution. Unlike traditional commercial banks driven by outside shareholders, EFCU is 100% member-owned and not-for-profit.   From conceptualizing the credit union in a New York basement in 2015 to securing a rare 50-state federal charter approved by the NCUA, Suman breaks down how community trust transforms into institutional financial power. We dive deep into affinity banking, how the US Nepali diaspora holds an estimated $19B+ in collective economic capacity, why modern banks operate as software enterprises, and how shifting diaspora mindsets from remittance to angel investing can back the next generation of global startups.   TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 - Introduction  00:01:23 - Welcome to Dallas & Show Kick-Off 00:02:07 - Establishing the First Nepali Community Bank Outside Nepal 00:02:59 - The Historic Roots of "Affinity Banking" 00:04:10 - Regulatory Approval: The Role of the US Congress & NCUA 00:04:59 - Humble Beginnings: Incepting Everest in a New York Basement 00:05:16 - Unlocking Nationwide Reach with a Rare 50-State Federal License 00:05:46 - The Not-For-Profit Model: Banks vs. Credit Unions 00:06:06 - Democratic Governance: Every Depositor Gets One Vote 00:06:33 - Broad Diaspora Eligibility: Nepal, Bhutan, and Beyond 00:08:31 - Life-Cycle Financial Products: Credit-Building to Mortgages 00:13:35 - Supporting the 10th Largest Foreign Student Population in the US 00:14:48 - Absolute Security: Federal Insurance up to $250,000 00:15:46 - 100% Reinvestment: Supporting Our People, Not Corporations 00:16:57 - Going Global: Opening US Dollar Accounts with Passports 00:18:59 - Replicating the Indian "Bank of Houston" Motel Success Model 00:21:40 - The Trust Test: Raising $3.65 Million in Just 3 Hours 00:23:42 - Modern Banking Shift: "Banks are IT Companies" 00:30:06 - Shifting Diaspora Culture: From Remittance to Angel Investing 00:38:11 - The Reality of BBA/MBA Degrees & The Power of Storytelling 00:55:57 - Beyond Banking: The Life-Saving $2,000 Emergency Loan   Want to become a video podcaster?

Ultra SurvivorsMK Ultra hearings of June 30, 2026 brought the reality of mind control tolight, reaching far beyond US Congress. MK Ultra mind control is a globalagenda and therefore triggered survivors to emerge in rapidly increasingnumbers worldwide.Mind control is a sliding scale from robotic servitude such as I experiencedon a White House/Pentagon level to information control. We all formulateour thoughts, opinions, and actions based on what we know and we Need-to-Know our knowledge base has been deliberately altered for generationsto create compliance.Knowledge is our defense against mind control, which is why pertinentinformation on mind brain function was buried under the 1947 NationalSecurity Act when Project Paperclip imported Nazi scientists and their MKUltra formula into the US in the Wake of WWII. WWII was not won and stillrages on worldwide since the CIA was formed, also in 1947, to covertlycarry out what Hitler, Bush, and Biden termed New World Order. This 100year plan was designed to create a multi-generational compliant societyintended to culminate with Agenda 2030.MK Ultra survivors are breaking that genetic chain en masse to reclaim andretain free thought, lighting a path forward to freedom for all. Their voicesneed to heard for the betterment of humanity and above all, to stop whathas become one of the most lucrative businesses in the world-child sextrafficking.Child sex trafficking is the result of MK Ultra mind control, the fundingmechanism of it, and blackmail ops to keep it growing. The pedophileagenda is a mind control agenda that is underMinding evolution. Survivorshold the key to effectively stopping it while evolving with knowledge that isour defense against mind control going forward.With birthright information on mind brain function-our defense against mindcontrol- buried under National Security, and MK Ultra psychiatrists includingDr. Ewen Cameron and Dr. Jolly West influencing mental health educationto inhibit healing from trauma, it is no wonder that the vast numbers ofemerging MK Ultra survivors are being mistreated.MK Ultra hearings made a strong point of UCLA Psychiatrist Jolly West'sinfluence on mental health and justice systems.When MK Ultra Drs like Jolly West provide so-called expert testimony inlegal cases, victims become further enslaved while abusers andprogrammers go free. This manipulation of justice and mental healthsystems inhibit a sense of safety for survivors. Safety is the primarycomponent of reclaiming free thought and is crucial to exercising freespeech!Consider that sexual abuse in infancy causes autogenic brain response tocompartmentalize trauma so the rest of the mind can develop normally.This is the mind's sane defense to trauma too horrible to comprehend.Likewise, the brain knows when it is safe regardless of our perception. Ifhypnosis is used on trauma victims, the brain senses intrusion and refusesto open neuron pathways as is necessary for healing and defusingprogrammed triggers.Safety is key. MK Ultra Drs know this, and promote intrusive healingmethods such as talking rather than writing out memory, and the use ofhypnosis on survivors already in a trance!To compound the felony, attorneys skilled in NLP, Neuro Linguisticprogramming (language of the subconscious), manipulate minds of jurors,judges, and even the public when trials are televised. Today's UNjusticesystem is still invoking National Security on MK Ultra mind control and childsex trafficking cases.With systems structured wrong by criminal design, and information on ourbirthright to healing from within ourselves buried under National Security,where is safety for the vast numbers of survivors currently emerging?I am living proof it is within us all to heal by divine design. By healing fromwithin in a safe environment, neuron pathways open in the brain freeing MKUltra programming. Once freed, programming can no longer be triggered,which is crucial to retaining reclaimed free thought.National Security censorship hinders my voice, which I have been raisingfor over 35 years so people gain knowledge that is our defense againstmind control, and survivors are empowered to heal from within free of thecorrupted system.With so many survivors emerging into a world structured to silence them, itis imperative that truth on MK Ultra mind control and healing from it isbrought to light.One Congressional MK Ultra hearing is not sufficient to arm survivors withtheir birthright to the ultimate justice of healing from within. It will take manymore hearings that give MK Ultra survivors voice before sufficient truthspans the globe to undo decades of MK Ultra mind control conditioning. Anact of Congress is not enough to fix this widespread global menace. It isgoing to take all of us uniting to BE the change and bring this truth to lightonce and for all.Humankind is in the midst of a mental and spiritual evolution. People areremembering who they are, why they are here, and gathering their strengthof spirit to take a stand against those underMinding human evolution withtheir MK Ultra mind control.Together we can make this world a safer place. With safety comes healing.With healing comes the ability to break the genetic chain of imposedcompliance. With free thought free will restored, our innate wisdom caneasily outthink criminal minds and their use of MK Ultra means to dumb usdown sufficiently to align us with their DARPA programmed AI.Think about it. We are being dumbed down to align with ArtificialIntelligence.Reclaim your free thought in light of the brilliance shown by MK Ultrasurvivors who are lighting the path forward. Truth spreads faster by word ofmouth than any media repetitive narrative can reach. Ultra Survivors aresetting others free. Give them voice and raise yours.

At some point in the next decade, a historian is going to look at the first quarter of the 21st century from the perspective of the national security establishment and the blessings it had as it rose to global power status, and will publish the foundational reference book for those trying to understand that moment in time.Its primary rivals distracted and drained themselves in unnecessary quixotic quasi-imperial police actions, one in Central and Southwest Asia (U.S.A.), the other bled itself white attempting to reconstruct at least part of its predecessor's empire (Russia). All the while, its economy grew, its diplomatic influence expanded, and its military became an impressive, if untested, colossus.Yes, the People's Republic of China (PRC) had its problems and setbacks: demographic collapse, massive debt, economic fragility, and poor messaging—but so did its greatest competitors.In 2026, while most have been focused on the Iranian-Israeli-American conflict and the Russo-Ukrainian War rooted in unsolved issues from the end of the 20th century, the PRC continues its march forward into the future.Returning to the Midrats Podcast to discuss will be Dean Cheng.Dean is a Non-resident Senior Fellow, Potomac Institute for Policy Studies and Non-resident Fellow, George Washington University Space Policy Institute.He recently retired after 14 years with the Heritage Foundation, where he was a senior research fellow on Chinese political and security affairs, and wrote on various aspects of Chinese foreign and defense policy.Prior to joining the Heritage Foundation, he was a senior analyst with the China Studies Division (previously, Project Asia) at CNA from 2001-2009.

Nicole Locklin for US Congress is an attorney with more than a decade of legal experience, most recently serving as Lead Commercial Legal Counsel for Healthcare and Life Sciences at Databricks. She grew up in a town of about a thousand people in rural Oklahoma, where her parents ran a crop dusting business. A first generation college graduate who relied on student loans to earn her law degree, Nicole is now running as a Democrat for U.S. Congress in Florida's 26th District, challenging a twenty plus year incumbent and making the case that working families in South Florida deserve a representative who actually works for them.We talked about what it has actually felt like to leave a legal career and step into a congressional race with no political background, the affordability crisis Nicole keeps hearing about on doorsteps across South Florida where homeowner's insurance averages $8,000 a year and a one bedroom apartment can run nearly $3,000 a month, and why Nicole believes corruption and corporate money in politics is the root cause blocking progress on every other issue families care about. We also discussed the gerrymandering that reshaped FL-26, why Nicole sees the seat as genuinely flippable, and what it means to run a grassroots campaign in a state where the political establishment has spent years trying to erase Democratic votes.Connect with Nicole: Website | Instagram | Substack If you're looking to unleash your potential, find your personal, professional, or political fire, and to connect with a community who is doing the same, click here to learn more.

Ultra National SecurityCensorship under the guise of National Security has plagued my life fromearliest childhood to date.When my pedophile father was caught sending child pornography of methrough the US mail in 1960, he was granted immunity from prosecution foragreeing to sell me into CIA MK Ultra mind control. National Security wasinvoked on the case and my father went free while I was sold into slavery.CIA targets sexually abused children for MK Ultra servitude due to theirheightened suggestibility from trauma. The pedophile agenda is a mindcontrol agenda. My father's immunity from prosecution in 1960 shows howlong our Justice system has been corrupted to allow for the proliferation ofpedophilia for so called “Reasons of National Security”!Research for yourself Project Paperclip when we imported Nazi scientistsand their formula for MK Ultra mind control into the US. Knowledge is ourdefense against mind control so the National Security Act was enacted in1947 to ensure secrecy while the CIA formed the same year to impose itworldwide.National Security is threatening the security of human evolution by allowingfor the proliferation of pedophilia and child sex trafficking/harvesting.When Mark Phillips rescued Kelly and me out of the Washington DC MKUltra swamp in 1988, over $3 million was confiscated from his bankaccounts with no due process for so-called “Reasons of National Security”.My named abusers then Attorney General Dick Thornburgh and USSenator Byrd said they “took Mark's life savings for saving a life”. Mark'sfriends in Intelligence, including then US Customs Director WilliamVonRaab fought for return of his savings until they reportedly disappearedunder US Attorney General Janet Reno.Mark was working the highest levels of Intelligence mind sciences topreserve the sanctity of free thought when he found birthright informationon mind brain function-our defense against mind control and healing fromtrauma-buried under National Security. Mark knew this knowledge is ourdefense against mind control, yet was bound by laws of sedition fromreleasing it. Mark reminded Kelly and me of our birthright to heal fromwithin, which we used to deprogram our traumatic past through journalingby hand. Since it was my experience to heal with these methods and I amnot bound by laws of sedition, I released them in PTSD: Time to Heal.The FBI/CPS child trafficking catch-net operation I witnessed beingstructured by US Senator Byrd, who was my “owner” in MK Ultra since Iwas 13 yrs old and subsequently Kelly's “owner”, was the very system mydaughter was thrust into. Love for Kelly and outrage for her direincarceration compelled me to speak out on MK Ultra mind control andhealing from it. I spoke before the Tennessee Legislature April 13, 1992resulting in a Bill being passed in Kelly's name that was ultimatelyoverridden by National Security.March 17, 1993 National Security was invoked in open court in mydaughter Kelly's case by Judge Andrew Shookhoff in Nashville, Tennessee.Kelly's medical kidnapping by CPS in 1990 resulted in her being heldpolitical prisoner by Tn. Department of Human Services aka ChildProtective Services 1990-1998. My ‘legal' battle for Kelly's freedom in acorrupted court system resulted in Judge Shookhoff stating in open court“laws do not apply in this case for Reasons of National Security.”My 1995 testimony for US Congress was censored under National Securityby then President Bill Clinton due to overwhelming evidence against him,Hillary, and numerous other perpeTraitors of their globalist slave societyagenda Bush Sr. termed New World Order aka Agenda 2030. Concernedmembers of Congress, both Democrats and Republicans, who wereoutraged at the National Security censorship, had my testimony printed inbook form TRANCE Formation of America, and hand distributed it to allmembers of Congress, key agencies, and the Presidency. Despite thiseffort, National Security remains on my testimony to date.1947 National Security Act is threatening the security of our nation bycovering up crimes against humanity including MK Ultra and by allowingperpeTraitors to remain free.

The fact that the US Congress is absolutely rotten with creeps is one of the worst-kept secrets in Washington. From former Representatives like California Democrat Eric Swalwell and Texas Republican Tony Gonzales, to sitting lawmakers like North Carolina Republican Representative Chuck Edwards – it turns out sexual misconduct is bipartisan, and so is the pushback. A bipartisan effort fronted by Florida Republican Kat Cammack and New Mexico Democrat Teresa Leger Fernandez aims to rein in the frathouse behavior of their colleagues. To discuss what's on the table, we called up Grace Panetta, political reporter with The 19th.And in headlines, Trump blames vandals for ruining a patch of grass on the National Mall, Attorney General Todd Blanche refused to pledge that he'll operate independently from the White House, and the Supreme Court rejected another request to throw out a jury's 2023 finding that Trump sexually abused writer E. Jean Carroll and later defamed her.Show Notes: Check out Grace's work – 19thnews.org/author/grace-panetta Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please email transcripts@crooked.com

 EPISODE DESCRIPTION I sat down with Bobby from TEXITcoin, a man who has been manufacturing gold and silver coins since 2008, created the original physical Bitcoin coin in 2012, and testified before US Congress on crypto before most people had ever heard of it. In this episode, Bobby shares why he believes Bitcoin lost its original mission as peer-to-peer digital cash and became digital gold instead, and what he is doing about it. We dig into how he crowdfunded a community mining operation in his Texas garage, how TEXITcoin became the tenth largest Litecoin and Doge miner on the planet through merge mining, and why he is now building NectarPay, a zero-fee payment terminal network to get crypto accepted at real businesses. We also get into the big picture: the US dollar at 40 trillion in debt, Keynesian versus Austrian economics, Bitcoin retail adoption at a nine-year low, and what a Texas state securities case means for the future of TEXITcoin. This is one of the most grounded, no-nonsense conversations I have had about where honest money stands today and what it will take to get it into everyday hands.

Jewish Hatred of Christians Grows as the US Government Gives Israel More Than Ever Before! The Wall Street Journal reported that some Israelis believe it is the “religious duty” of the Jew to spit on the Christians! Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir clarified that spitting on Christians is an ancient Jewish custom and should not be considered a crime! In addition to the spitting; head injuries, graffiti, trespassing, vandalism, stone-throwing, garbage dumping, and arson are being increasingly utilized by Jews against Christians! Jesus Said in John 15:18-21: “If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.” Israel-Jews Killed Jesus–Bible Verses Israeli military demands removal of dead soldier's Christian headstone–Officials have said displaying a cross in the cemetery is offensive to the relatives of Jewish troops laid to rest nearby  Netanyahu Now Presents Himself as Defender of ‘Judeo-Christian’ Evangelism!The Goal of the Synagogue of Satan: Gal 1:13: For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it… Trump is Totally Surrounded and Owned by Kabbala Loving / Synagogue of Satan Zionist Jews! Mossad Blackmail- Israel Has Trump right where they want him–Donald Trump Controlled By The Mossad — Parts 1-3 The Zionist Israeli Pledge Almost Every Member of Congress Has Taken! The Zionist intention to kill off all of humanity other than Jews [his words, not mine, including “Hey, we ARE god's chosen people. Its just most Jews do not like to admit it, but our god is Lucifer.” What is the Main Goal and True Definition of Zionism?: “The goal for which we have striven so concertedly for three thousand years is at last within our reach, and because its fulfilment is so apparent, it behooves us to increase our efforts and our caution tenfold. I can safely promise you that before ten years have passed, our race will take its rightful place in the world, with every Jew a king and every Gentile a slave. I can state with assurance that the last generation of white children is now being born.” Israeli Spy: Anyone Who Gets in Our way – even Politicians in the west . . . Will FALL” Mosab Yousef, a documented Israeli Spy, said on Peirce Morgan’s TV Show “Anyone who gets in the way, even if they are politicians in the West, they are going to FALL. We have the right to bring them up, and to bring them DOWN.” The AIPAC PAC is a bipartisan, pro-Israel political action committee. It is the largest pro-Israel PAC in America and contributed more resources directly to candidates than any other PAC. 98% of AIPAC-backed candidates won their general election races in 2022. Every member of US Congress has an “AIPAC person” — a liaison between AIPAC and the politician. This “AIPAC baby sitter” tells the Congressman how to vote, what to tweet/say etc. This is just one way on how Israel controls America. DEARBORN MICHIGAN EXPOSED: IT'S STARTING IN America now!

The topic of this episode is, “How can the average American influence a member of Congress?”A lot of Americans feel no connection to the US Congress. If you asked them, they probably could not name their members in the House of Representatives and their Senators. And few voters have had a conversation with their legislators, or have tried to persuade them by sending a letter or email to their legislators.I am not picking on the average voter. I can tell you that before I started writing a doctoral dissertation on Congress in my late 20s, I had never been in contact with a representative or Senator. It simply had not occurred to me, nor did I believe that if I asked these people in suits who were hundreds of miles away from me, they would help me.What was lost on me and is lost on so many other Americans is this basic truth: if you don't tell Congress what you want, then how can you expect it to do what you want? Voting for candidates who support policies you prefer is important, but it's not enough. You need to communicate to your legislators to remind them of what you want and to let them know that your vote in the next election is not to be taken for granted.So how can the average American get his voice heard on Capitol Hill? Here to help me answer this question is Brad Fitch, the author of the book, The Citizen's Handbook for Influencing Elected Officials (Sunwater, 2025). Brad knows an awful lot about Capitol Hill—he has been there for 40 years and previously served as the CEO of the Congressional Management Foundation and a congressional staffer.Read the full transcript of the episode here.

Fourteen days. That's the window the crypto industry has to get the CLARITY Act through the Senate — or wait until the 2030s for another shot.The combined draft dropped last week for the first time, merging the Senate Banking and Agriculture committee text into one bill. It added a law enforcement title (the Fraternal Order of Police endorsed it the same day). It added an ethics provision. And Democrats are rejecting that provision outright.This week on The Defiant, we're bringing three people living this fight from the inside: Miller Whitehouse-Levine (Solana Policy Institute), Amanda Tuminelli (DeFi Education Fund), and Adrian Wall (Digital Sovereignty Alliance). They don't all agree on how close we are — and one of them drops what might be the most explosive political take of the year: that Republicans, Democrats, financial institutions, and Coinbase may none of them actually want this bill to pass.The Polymarket odds: down from 80% in February to 37% this week. The stakes: if it fails, the next administration can undo anything the agencies do by rulemaking. Without a law, there's no floor. And innovation goes abroad.Guests: Miller Whitehouse-Levine (Solana Policy Institute) | Amanda Tuminelli (DeFi Education Fund) | Adrian Wall (Digital Sovereignty Alliance / Tron DAO US Policy) Topics: CLARITY Act, crypto regulation, SEC, CFTC, DeFi, stablecoins, blockchain policy, US Congress, ethics provision, RWAs

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is due to meet US President Donald Trump at the White House today in what will be a closely watched meeting as the war in Ukraine continues.     Zelensky is in Washington to attend the funeral of the late Senator Lindsey Graham, one of Ukraine's strongest supporters in the US Congress, but the meeting with President Trump is expected to focus on the conflict, US support for Ukraine, and wider international security.    Derrick Lynch was joined by Donnacha Ó Beacháin, a Newmarket-on-Fergus native and Professor of Politics at Dublin City University, to learn more about what this means.

Statewide, Washington needs to build 55,000 new homes per year to house new residents. The state is currently producing just 75% of that. That makes housing expensive... and it’s not just Washington state facing a long-term housing shortage. For years, Americans have been begging politicians to do something about the high cost of housing buying an adequate place to live. In late June, something happened that almost never happens in Washington, D.C.—Republicans and Democrats came together to pass a major bill aimed at unlocking the housing supply. The bill is called the 21st Century Road to Housing Act, and it just became law over the weekend. Some lawmakers are calling this bill the most consequential housing reform in decades. On today's episode, we look at what it can really deliver. Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

President Donald Trump has U-turned on his threat to charge cargo ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz as much as 20% - but the US and Iran have continued trading strikes as Trump has told the US Congress that war has resumed. So, can the US gain the upper hand? Will more US bombs and bullets really help? And has this whole episode proven that the memorandum of understanding, which was meant to end the conflict, was destined to fail.In this episode of The Fourcast Indicators, presenter Krishnan Guru-Murthy and Defence and Intelligence Analyst, Mark Urban are joined by former US Navy Rear Admiral Mark Montgomery, who is now a senior fellow at The Foundation for Defence of Democracies.

For this episode, let's revisit a strategy skills classic interview with an experienced founder, leader, and thinker across a variety of domains, Rick Walker. In this episode, Rick walks us through his leadership journey, how he built his first company in his 20's, the lessons he learned across multiple domains, and how he was able to do multiple things successfully, simultaneously. He also shared his views about fear, pride, faith, religion, and ethics in relation to leadership and business. Rick Walker scaled his first company to 400 employees when he was 26, and simultaneously, as Chairman, scaled a 53-country international nonprofit from 800 to 2,100 team members, simultaneously while helping his hometown of Houston attract over $5 Billion in job-creation investments. Rick's volunteer service also includes stints as a Director of a college in the middle east and Chairman of a $250 Million charitable foundation. His 3:30 AM wake-up call helps fit everything in.  Rick hosts a podcast to help multi-domain leaders learn well - and has interviewed friends, who also happen to be world-class leaders, such as billionaires, musicians, members of the President's Cabinet, US Senate, US Congress, and great thinkers. The podcast is hosted inside a 13,000-square-foot mansion, which was the former party mansion of a Fortune 500 CEO, which Rick restored and uses for his family office, charitable events, and podcasts.  Rick lives in Houston with his wife and 3 girls, where he spends much of his time serving alongside the best team members in his commercial real estate private equity firm.  Claim your free gift: Free gift #1 McKinsey & BCG winning resume www.FIRMSconsulting.com/resumePDF Free gift #2 Breakthrough Decisions Guide with 25 AI Prompts www.FIRMSconsulting.com/decisions Free gift #3 Five Reasons Why People Ignore Somebody www.FIRMSconsulting.com/owntheroom Free gift #4 Access episode 1 from Build a Consulting Firm, Level 1 www.FIRMSconsulting.com/build Free gift #5 The Overall Approach used in well-managed strategy studies www.FIRMSconsulting.com/OverallApproach Free gift #6 Get a copy of Nine Leaders in Action, a book we co-authored with some of our clients: www.FIRMSconsulting.com/gift

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cil0v7dIkgc Hosted by Tony Darnell. Streamed live on Jul 6, 2017. If we send humans to Mars, will they be able to survive? How hostile is the solar system for human exploration?   The Mars environment presents many challenges to human survival and long-term residence. In addition to radiation, unbreathable atmosphere, and dust storms, surviving alien microorganisms can present a health risk.   The US Congress has directed NASA to plan for a human mission to Mars. A critical element of the planning is to ensure the health and safety of astronauts travelling to, working on, and returning from the Red Planet.   Join Tony Darnell, Harley Thronson and Alberto Conti as they explore with Arnauld Nicogossian (George Mason University), Catharine A. Conley (NASA Planetary Protection Officer) and Charles Doarn (University of Cincinnati) the challenges of living and working on Mars.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From March 2026. Today's 2 topics: - My Catalina Sky Survey teammate Tracie Beuden was observing with our Schmidt telescope on Mt. Bigelow, Arizona in the constellation of Perseus when she found 2026-AA, the first asteroid of 2026. Asteroid hunters are trying to track Tracie's discovery with our number on it far enough in advance so humans could give it a tiny nudge and make it miss Earth.   - Humans can mitigate the damage done by the impact of an asteroid given a sufficient lead time. In 1998, the US Congress mandated NASA to detect and track 90% of the 1 km sized asteroids capable of effecting local mass destruction as well as global disruption of agriculture and other human activities. This goal has been accomplished. In 2005 Congress extended the mandate to require NASA to detect and track 90% of the 140-m asteroids capable of destroying a large metropolitan area.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
