Season 6 EPI 12Are you ready to take the couch? ®️Welcome back to The Brain Love Podcast, where we unpack the mind, challenge the narrative, and get to the truth about mental health… and human behavior.Today's conversation is a tough one—but an important one.Dr. Delvena is on the couch solo. Nancy Metayer Bowen, Vice Mayor of Coral Springs, was found dead in her home on April 1, 2026. Her husband, Stephen Bowen, was arrested and charged with premeditated murder and evidence tampering. According to police reports, he allegedly shot her multiple times, then attempted to conceal the crime. He reportedly told a relative he did it because he “couldn't take it anymore.” The case is being investigated as domestic violence, and there is no confirmed motive publicly established yet. People are saying “mental illness.”Evil is not synonymous with mental illness.Planning a murder, carrying it out, and attempting to conceal it reflects awareness, intent, and choice.We have to stop labeling every horrific act as mental illness simply because it makes us uncomfortable to call it what it is.

John C. Giles (born 1960) is an American attorney and Republican politician who served as the 40th Mayor of Mesa, Arizona, from 2014 until 2025. A Mesa native, Giles earned his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Brigham Young University and his Juris Doctor from Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law. In addition to his political career, he is a practicing lawyer at Giles & Dickson and an adjunct law professor. Giles first entered local politics as a member of the Mesa City Council from 1996 to 2000, which included a stint as Vice Mayor. He was elected Mayor in a 2014 special election and served two full terms before reaching his term limit in 2025. During his tenure, Giles focused heavily on community and infrastructure improvements. His key achievements include leading the “Off the Streets” program to combat homelessness, championing the Mesa College Promise to provide free community college to residents, and securing federal grants to expand electric vehicle infrastructure and public transit.

What does it really mean to shape European policy? From 5–8 February 2026, students in Košice experienced it firsthand. Model European Union brought together 60 high school students from across Slovakia for an immersive, English-language simulation of EU decision-making. Stepping into the roles of Members of the European Parliament, EU Commissioners, and national representatives, they debated pressing topics such as the EU–Mercosur trade agreement and the Green Claims Directive tackling greenwashing. Organised by BETA Slovakia in cooperation with FUTURUM Bilingual High School, and supported by the European Parliament Liaison Office in Slovakia, the event blended dynamic debate with real-world insight. We spoke with participating students, as well as Veronica Anna Lacová, President of BETA Slovakia, and Ján Haraslín, Community Manager at the EP Liaison Office in Bratislava. The programme was further enriched by the opening address of the Vice Mayor of Košice and by discussions with MEPs Katarína Roth Neveďalová and Michal Wiezik, who engaged directly with students about the work of the European Parliament and the importance of youth participation in European democracy.

Dan Champine and Bob Clark discuss the biggest issues impacting the state during the 30-Day session. Dan also shares his City Counsel update for the beginning of 2026.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The January 23 edition of the AgNet News Hour delivered one of the most emotional and urgent interviews of the year as hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill zeroed in on the growing crisis in Potter Valley—a Northern California farming region now facing the potential removal of two dams that support water, jobs, and everyday life for hundreds of thousands of people. Papagni opened the show by saying this issue should stop every listener in their tracks, because what's happening in Potter Valley isn't just a local fight—it's a warning for rural communities across the state. The guest was Todd Lands, Vice Mayor and former Mayor of Cloverdale, who explained how the Potter Valley Project depends on two dams: Scott Dam (which forms Lake Pillsbury) and Cape Horn Dam, which diverts water to help create Lake Mendocino and supports power generation. Lands said the state's long-running push to remove dams in the name of “free-flowing rivers” would devastate the region. If the dams are removed, Potter Valley becomes a dry basin, farmland values collapse, and farming and ranching communities could disappear almost overnight. Even areas far beyond Potter Valley—including wine country—depend heavily on this system because the diversion supplies a large portion of the Russian River's flow. One of the most striking moments of the episode came when Lands described what daily life could look like without the water system in place: families choosing between taking a shower or doing laundry, residents losing gardens that help feed their households, and water shortages weakening local fire protection during peak wildfire season. He warned that the situation would also trigger enormous cost increases for residents, estimating that utility bills could become unbearable for most working families. Lands also challenged the argument that dam removal will restore a thriving fishery. He said the dams only block about two miles of river, and there is evidence that removal won't meaningfully improve salmon and trout recovery. In fact, he warned it could make conditions worse by reducing water volume and raising river temperatures—creating a tougher environment for fish survival. Perhaps most frustrating, Lands said, is that there was a practical compromise. An independent engineering report identified upgrading the dams and installing a fish ladder as the best, most cost-effective option—but that path was reportedly shut down because it didn't satisfy activist demands. The hosts emphasized that this is not a partisan issue. Lands noted that both Republicans and Democrats have voiced support for keeping the Potter Valley dams because “water is life,” and because the consequences of losing the project would ripple far beyond one small town. Papagni and McGill agreed—calling this the same “fish versus people” fight California has seen before, with real communities paying the price. Lands said local leaders tried to work through state channels but were repeatedly told it was “too late” and the outcome was already decided. That's when the effort reached the federal level. He credited U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins and NRCS Chief Aubrey Bettencourt for stepping in, saying their involvement gave the community hope when state leadership would not. As the episode wrapped, Lands issued a call to action for California agriculture: write letters, contact elected officials, and demand transparency. His warning to every farming community was simple—if the state can do this to Potter Valley, it can do it to anyone.

This episode explores how we, as a community, can raise boys into men who reject harmful gender stereotypes, respect others, and contribute to a culture free from violence. While prevention often focuses on protecting women, we must also empower boys with the tools and guidance to become upstanders—leaders in empathy, respect, and accountability. In our first segment, we're joined by Dr. Trenton Marsh, Assistant Professor of Urban Education at the University of Central Florida and the founder of H.O.P.E. Circle—a youth-driven initiative based in the historic Parramore neighborhood that gives boys of color a safe space to explore mental health, identity, and leadership.In our second segment, we broaden the lens to look at how community leadership can shape safe, supportive pathways for youth—especially boys and young men who are too often overlooked. Joining us is Commissioner Mike Scott, Vice Mayor and Orange County District 6 Commissioner. A lifelong Orlando resident, Air Force veteran, and passionate youth mentor, Commissioner Scott brings a community-centered perspective to leadership and community.In our third segment, we're focusing on culture—and how it shapes the way boys learn to express themselves, seek help, and treat others. Joining us is Fidel Gomez Jr., a community educator and advocate at Hope CommUnity Center in Apopka, Florida. Fidel works directly with youth and is here to provide some insights on gender norms and machismo. Guest SpeakersL. Trenton S.

Her passion for serving the public began early in life, sparked while attending local public schools and actively participating in student governments. In particular, her experience in a high-school teen court program made an indelible impression — and led to a lifelong interest in public affairs and government. Not long after, she landed an internship with the City of Port St. Lucie's Community Relations Department, where she attained invaluable skills and knowledge into local government. She has stayed involved in the City of Port St. Lucie ever since those early experiences. This involvement has given her inestimable insight into local government operations and helped her develop an appreciation for the work of the City Council. Her eagerness to be in the know and make positive changes influenced her to volunteer in various political causes and campaigns while pursuing higher education at Indian River State College. Continuously engaged in the community, Caraballo also is an active member of the St. Lucie County Transportation Planning Organization and the Treasure Coast Regional League of Cities. She was the former Director of the PSL Historical Society and has served on the Keep PSL Beautiful committee. Caraballo is also the immediate past president of the Treasure Coast Regional League of Cities. In 2021, she became Vice Mayor and in 2022, she was sworn in as President of the Florida League of Cities, which promotes cities and local self-governance throughout the State. Since becoming President, Caraballo has focused on her initiative of #CommonGrounds, which urges local and state leaders to put people over politics, access over agendas and success over shouting, while strengthening our communities over the common grounds that unite us. She has been married to her husband, Ben, for 22 years. They have two children, Antonio and Anaiah. As a family, the Caraballo's enjoy the staples of PSL — spending their free time visiting local attractions such as the Botanical Gardens, the St. Lucie River, events at the Civic Center and watching the Mets play ball.   About Your Host, Jim Hunt: Welcome to the “Building Amazing Cities and Towns Podcast” … The podcast for Mayors, Council Members, Managers, Staff and anyone who is interested in building an Amazing City.   Your host is Jim Hunt, the author of “Bottom Line Green, How American Cities are Saving the Planet and Money Too” and his latest book, “The Amazing City - 7 Steps to Creating an Amazing City”   Jim is also the former President of the National League of Cities, 27 year Mayor, Council Member and 2006 Municipal Leader of the Year by American City and County Magazine.   Today, Jim speaks to 1000's of local government officials each year in the US and abroad.   Jim also consults with businesses that are bringing technology and innovation to local government.   Amazing City Resources:   Buy Jim's Popular Books: ·       The Entrepreneurial City: Building Smarter Governments through Entrepreneurial Thinking:   https://www.amazingcities.org/copy-of-the-amazing-city   ·       The Amazing City: 7 Steps to Creating an Amazing City:   https://www.amazingcities.org/product-page/the-amazing-city-7-steps-to-creating-an-amazing-city   ·       Bottom Line Green: How America's Cities and Saving the Planet (And Money Too)  https://www.amazingcities.org/product-page/bottom-line-green-how-america-s-cities-are-saving-the-planet-and-money-too   FREE White Paper: ·       “10 Steps to Revitalize Your Downtown”  www.AmazingCities.org/10-Steps   Hire Jim to Speak at Your Next Event: ·       Tell us about your event and see if dates are available at www.AmazingCities.org/Speaking   Hire Jim to Consult with Your City or Town: ·       Discover more details at https://www.amazingcities.org/consulting   Discuss Your Business Opportunity/Product to Help Amazing Cities: ·       Complete the form at https://www.amazingcities.org/business-development   A Special Thanks to Bearing Advisors for the support of this podcast:  www.BearingAdvisors.Net
