Our country has a decades-long history of candidates promising to reduce war and spending. And then, of course, when they get in office, they seem to do the opposite, no matter which political persuasion. The only good news is that when the public feels deceived, they Elect the opposite party. But of course within a year it is just more of the same.Ron Paul has reminded us that there is no perfection either by liberty or by tyranny. He suggested the solution is to introduce more individual voluntary choice into our system.Clip Used: Conservatives Fume Over 'Former' Al Qaeda In The White HouseBy: RonPaulLibertyReportFollow Us:YouTubeTwitterFacebookBlueskyAll audio & videos edited by: Jay Prescott Videography

Prosecutors say Indiana’s Stand Your Ground Law does not apply to homeowner Curt Anderson, who fired a single shot from the top of his stairs, through his front door, killing a 32-year-old house cleaner who’s GPS sent her to the wrong home. Anderson said he feared for his life when he was awakened to the sound of someone trying to enter his home, grabbed his gun and fired. He maintains it was his right to do so under the stand your ground law, but prosecutors maintain that fear alone is not enough to justify invoking the law. This is just the latest tragedy to unfold where a gun owner kills someone who actually meant them no harm, and is reigniting the debate on whether these laws embolden people to shoot first, and ask questions later.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Voluntary Reaction 11.15.25: Tennessee beats New Mexico State by Fanrun Radio

Voluntary exchange in the information economy...

In this interview sponsored by Progressive Administration, MD Thomas Van Zyl, lists the benefits of voluntary liquidation - as opposed to deregistration of a company. He explains the process and its timeline, and shares interesting case studies. Van Zyl also reflects on the dangers of being in the liquidation business - especially in the wake of the assassinations of Cloete Murray and his son, as well as that of Bouwer van Niekerk. “We have liquidators that are threatened on a daily basis. I was on the phone this morning with a friend of mine who's a liquidator and he received a death threat in an unrelated, totally different matter. And now you take these things quite seriously and it's nerve-racking. It certainly is.” Van Niekerk further reveals details about the biggest case currently being handled by Progressive Administration, the Ponzi scheme matter involving HGG Financial Group. Van Zyl, whose mother worked in the Master's Office and whose father was also a liquidator, has useful advice for those who face liquidation - voluntary or otherwise.

In Episode #35 of NAPFA Nation, host Marie Swift speaks with renowned industry commentator Bob Veres to discuss his newest book, A Behind-the-Scenes History of the Financial Planning Profession, a sweeping history of the profession through Veres' 45-year career. Veres explores pivotal moments that have shaped the profession, from the collapse of limited partnerships in the 1990s and the tech wreck to the Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic. He unpacks how each crisis forced the profession to reflect, adapt, and re-center on genuine financial planning as the foundation for client trust and long-term success. He delves into the ongoing regulatory challenges and the outsized influence of brokerage lobbies, highlighting the uphill battle that fee-only advisors faced, and continue to face, in raising standards and earning the public's confidence. Veres also reflects on what drives some practitioners to continually raise the bar for professionalism and education, leading the evolution of standards not just to comply with regulations, but to inspire greater consumer trust. He shares enduring lessons and keys to long-term success for advisors, emphasizing the importance of curiosity, adaptability, and staying engaged with new ideas, qualities that have defined the true leaders of the profession. In a nutshell: The profession has faced repeated crises that have repeatedly tested advisor-client relationships, causing shifts back toward authentic financial planning over pure asset management. Regulatory dynamics have been challenging, with the SEC's increasing oversight, starting in 2004, disproportionately burdening fee-only fiduciary advisors, who have been influenced by lobbying from brokerage firms. This regulatory capture shaped the profession's standards and challenges.   Despite early financial sacrifices, fee-only pioneers raised standards in education, practice, and ethics, gaining consumer trust and eventually building large, successful firms. Voluntary higher standards have been a key driver toward professionalism. The essential qualities for future success in the profession include flexibility, curiosity, continuous learning, and early adoption of innovations such as AI. These are the traits that distinguish enduring leaders from laggards as the profession continues to evolve and adapt. Special Note: In 2023, we rebranded the NAPFA podcast with a new album cover and series title: NAPFA Nation. We are shifting our monthly episodes to bring you inspiring conversations and key insights from leaders in the Fee-Only financial planning profession. Marie Swift, Founder and CEO of Impact Communications, will continue on as host, interviewing a variety of NAPFA members and professionals. You will still be able to find on this channel the 32 Mindset Mastery episodes with respected fiduciary financial planners and allied advocates who are committed to accomplishing great things as they master their own mindset and continue to serve their clients in the best ways possible. Brought to you by NAPFA - the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors - the country's leading professional association of Fee-Only financial advisors.

Change can energize or paralyze—so we chose energize. We sat down with Eric Silverman, founder of Voluntary Disruption and a four-time guest, to unpack what's actually moving the needle in enhanced benefits today. The surprise? Products haven't radically shifted, but execution has. Simple, high-interest options like pet insurance, ID protection, legal plans, and life paired with long-term care continue to win attention. The real breakthroughs are how teams communicate, guide choices, and run enrollment with less friction and more trust.We dig into decision support tools and their mid-market roadblocks, then map how AI can personalize choices with Amazon-like clarity. Think smart nudges that connect plan design to real life: a high-deductible plan paired with accident coverage, or young families steered toward urgent care-friendly options. We also trace a major distribution shift—from carrier direct to advisor-led strategies—where brokers step up to own the full package: medical, pharmacy, disability, life, and voluntary. That move isn't just good practice; it's how you reduce risk across absenteeism, presenteeism, and unexpected costs.Communication is where results jump. Text-first outreach beats inbox fatigue. Short, captioned videos from HR leaders outperform generic vendor clips. Family-focused messaging, including the emergency contact, turns open enrollment into a shared decision. We share a practical playbook: launch midweek, keep enrollment windows short, host content on a 24/7 microsite with searchable chapters, and go off the January 1 cycle to escape fourth-quarter chaos. Virtual, self-service enrollment replaces one-on-one sales pressure and leaves a clean digital trail that cuts buyer's remorse and HR headaches.If you advise employers—or lead HR—and want better participation without arm twisting, this conversation gives you the modern blueprint. Subscribe, share with a colleague who needs a smarter enrollment strategy, and leave a review with your top takeaway so we can dive deeper next time.This episode is sponsored by Benepower, the platform of choice for a modern benefits experience.

Just as God had compassion for us, we are invited to have compassion for those around us--no matter our differences. In this brief series, let us explore together what it looks like to live compassionate lives. If we really saw the image of God in every person, how might that change our world? This week, Rev. Dr. Chris Lenocker shares some of his own personal journey towards learning compassion in his own ministry. Then transitions to how Jesus moved toward pain, not away from it. Compassion requires that we get close enough to be changed. Passage: Philippians 2:5–8; John 1:14 We have three worship opportunities for you to experience: 9:00 a.m. - Sanctuary Service 9:30 a.m. - Online Service 10:30 a.m. - Chapel Service  Please consider joining us for one of these services.  Annual Giving Campaign We are currently in our annual giving season at Point Loma Church.

By Rabbi Josh WanderThere is a painful and uncomfortable reality that we rarely speak about publicly:Nearly one million Israelis have left Eretz Yisrael to live in the Diaspora.Not because of pogroms.Not because of famine.Not because they were expelled.They chose to leave.They walked away from the one thing that generations before us would have given their lives for: the privilege of living in the Land of Israel.And this can only happen in a vacuum — a vacuum of education, a vacuum of emunah, and a vacuum of understanding the true value of Eretz Yisrael. When someone does not know what something is worth, it becomes very easy to trade away.Creatures of Comfort, Prisoners of ExileMany of these Israelis are “successful” abroad. They live in modern suburbs, earn comfortable salaries, eat in kosher restaurants, and send their children to schools with Hebrew signs on the walls.Some are even “religious.”But spiritually, they have moved from Geula (redemption) to Galut (exile).From light to darkness.From open skies to a tunnel.Choosing exile over Israel is like voluntarily crawling into the spiritual equivalent of a Hamas tunnel — darkness, disorientation, disconnection.It is a self-imposed spiritual prison.They convince themselves that their “spirituality is more uplifting” in New York, Miami, or Los Angeles.What a perversion.How twisted our values have become that we equate kosher supermarkets, valet parking, and kiddush clubs with spirituality.Do We Know Better Than Hashem?Let's ask the only question that matters:If Avraham Avinu and Sara Imeinu were told by Hashem to leave Charan and move to Canaan, would they respond:“Actually, Hashem, our ruchniyut is better here. The housing market is cheaper and the shuls are more comfortable”?Absurd.Yet today, many Jews speak this way.Not explicitly — but this is the core of their argument:“I know Hashem said Eretz Yisrael is our home,but I know better what's best for me and my family.”Chutzpah.Ignorance.Hashem gave us 613 mitzvot. Nearly one-third can only be performed in the Land. How can a thinking, believing Jew read the Torah and still say:“It's better for my neshamah to stay in exile.”The Intellectual Justifications and the Halachic AcrobaticsOf course, excuses always need footnotes.So we hear:* “The Satmar Shitta says the Three Oaths forbid returning before Moshiach.”* “Rav Moshe Feinstein wrote that aliyah isn't obligatory today.”* “Tosafot says due to danger one may stay in exile.”All true — in context.Yet deeply misunderstood and conveniently misused.Even Satmar Chassidim weep over Eretz Yisrael.Even Rav Moshe Feinstein praised the holiness of the Land.None of them said:“Exile is a spiritually superior environment. Stay there for comfort.”For thousands of years, our rabbis begged, prayed, and sacrificed to reach this Land. They endured malaria-infested swamps, starvation, and Ottoman decrees.Not for comfort.For covenant.They understood what we have forgotten:Comfort is not the goal of Judaism. Destiny is.The Real Price: Their ChildrenLet us speak plainly.For the “religious diaspora Jew,” the loss is spiritual blindness.But for the vast majority who leave?It is nothing less than a demographic suicide mission.In Israel:* Intermarriage rate: ~4%In the United States:* Intermarriage rate: 70–90%That means that in America, one generation later,your grandchildren may not be Jewish.Nobody “plans” for assimilation, yet it swallows entire family trees.Leaving Eretz Yisrael puts your children into the currents of history — currents that have erased millions of Jews before them.No Israeli parent moving abroad ever says:“I'm choosing to end my family's Jewish story.”But statistically, that is exactly what they are doing.Kosher-Style Judaism Is Not JudaismThose who leave often say:“We will stay religious abroad. Judaism is not tied to geography.”False.Judaism is born in a place.Rooted in a place.Fulfilled in a place.Eretz Yisrael is not a backdrop.It is a commandment.לא בשמיים היא — It is not in the heavens.It's right here. In the Torah. In every parsha.From Lech Lecha to Ki Tavo.You don't need a PhD to understand the Torah's geography.Only a willingness to listen.The Darkness of Egypt — ReplayedThe Midrash teaches that 80% of Jews never left Egypt.They chose to stay — and they died during the plague of darkness.They disappeared from Jewish destiny.Today, the parallel is clear.We are living in spiritual darkness.Exile is the darkness.Israel is the light.Every Jew today is being asked:Will you join the redemption — or remain behind?Conclusion: The Door Is Still OpenThe tragedy of the yordim is not only that they leave.It's that they don't know what they're leaving.The greatest generation in Jewish history — ours — is living with the opportunity that our ancestors would have given their lives to taste for one hour.The door to redemption is open.The gates of Eretz Yisrael are open.The only question is:Will we walk through them?Or will we choose to remain in the darkness of a self-imposed exile?

In this compelling follow-up conversation, I welcome back Jonathan Cogburn, a licensed marriage and family therapist from Texas, to explore a nuanced conservative perspective on mental health services in schools. While we've covered many concerns about ideological overreach in school counseling on this podcast, Jonathan makes a thoughtful case for why certain levels of mental health intervention are not just appropriate but indispensable in our current educational landscape.We dive deep into the McKinney-Vento Act and its implications for students experiencing homelessness - a critical issue that most therapists haven't even heard about. Jonathan shares his extensive experience working with behavioral threat assessment teams and reveals surprising data about successfully prevented school attacks. We explore how schools can create positive cultures that prevent violence upstream, the proper boundaries between school support and parental roles, and why some vulnerable student populations desperately need these services.This conversation challenges us to think beyond binary positions about school mental health services, examining what a "just right" balance looks like that serves students while respecting parental authority and avoiding ideological indoctrination.Jonathan Cogburn is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in West Texas who currently works for an agency that provides a variety of support to school districts in his area  In that role he delivers state-required mental health training to districts, supports rural school counselors and homeless student liaisons, and co-leads a team of licensed professionals and school counselors that respond to crises and disasters.

Voluntary Reaction 11-1-25 Oklahoma at Tennessee by Fanrun Radio

Ever Notice The IRS Manual Calls The Tax Code 'Voluntary'? Have you ever noticed that in the IRS' own manual, it repeatedly refers to the tax code as voluntary? Seems a bit strange, doesn't it? If so, prepare to be stunned. Because when you find out what's really going on, it might be hard to believe. But that doesn't mean that certain things aren't the reality.

Would you ever invite the Department of Labor to audit your company—on purpose? In this episode, Miller Johnson employment attorneys Rebecca Strauss and Sarah Willey break down the DOL's recently revived PAID (Payroll Audit Independent Determination) program.

Show Notes: Shifting political priorities and economic pressures over the past couple of years have seen several countries scale back climate commitments contributing to the growing gap between climate pledges and real-world emissions (still rising).What does this mean for a ‘Just Transition' and Net Zero? While there is no silver bullet, IUCN and UNEP emphasise Nature based Solutions (NbS) can be pivotal for climate mitigation and adaptation, when pursued alongside rapid decarbonisation globally.To discuss NbS, and climate change I recently caught up with Swapan Mehra a global leader in climate action and ecosystem conservation. In this deeply insightful conversation Swapan spoke about how NbS is a holistic approach to addressing the climate crisis, through a spectrum of actions designed to protect and restore ecosystems while simultaneously delivering co-benefits for biodiversity, communities and individuals.

I'm what you might call Consent Happy and I'm in no way being sarcastic, I CRAVE consent, in fact--for all manner of interactions and activities,  Consent is Informed, Conscious, Revocable, Affirmative, Voluntary and Enthusiastic,  The first letters of which spell out “I CRAVE”--thus satisfying my poetic sensitivities.   [full text below] Ep. 425 - Consent Happy We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! I'm what you might call Consent Happy and I'm in no way being sarcastic, I CRAVE consent, in fact--for all manner of interactions and activities,  Consent is Informed, Conscious, Revocable, Affirmative, Voluntary and Enthusiastic,  The first letters of which spell out “I CRAVE”--thus satisfying my poetic sensitivities. Consent must be Informed or else you won't know what you're agreeing to, And Conscious, since you can't agree if you're all passed out with nowhere to go, And Revocable, meaning you can take it back if that's what you want to do, And Affirmative, meaning it's a clear decision and not just the absence of the word No. Consent must also be Voluntary, and not the result of some pressure or threat, And it must be Enthusiastic, meaning it is clearly, positively and actively stated, And I CRAVE Consent because this world doesn't seem to have gotten that memo yet, This means I think people should ask before they so much as hug--even if you're related. Maybe someone's suddenly shy, or has back pain or just feels icky inside, Consent is just a good habit to get into as it gives people a choice, And it also means that people who do the asking have to be okay with being denied, ‘Cause it defeats the whole purpose if nobody listens to your voice. And the right of Consent is not just for some people, but for everyone, Regardless of gender, age, culture, relationship or any previous consent, Just ‘cause you hugged somebody once doesn't mean consent is over and done-- Reestablish it each and every time in case something changed in preference or intent. Now I know this must seem like overkill to some folks ‘cause who's going to bother? Like, what kid is really going to ask for consent to hug or kiss his mother or father? And I get that, which is why I say it's something I CRAVE, since I know it's in short supply, And I can't even claim that I always insist that others comply. Sometimes it's tough to stop someone before they grab you, And saying something then might be seen as unfriendly and a bit cuckoo, But I still prefer consent, regardless, and I want to normalize it, So let it just be a reminder that we all should decide what we're willing to permit. Haha Yowza

This conversation delves into the complexities of homicide law, focusing on the definitions, mental states, and causation involved in criminal liability. It explores the historical context of malice aforethought, the nuances of causation, and the distinctions between murder and voluntary manslaughter, including mitigating factors like provocation and imperfect self-defense. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding these concepts for law students preparing for exams and practical applications in legal scenarios.In the intricate world of criminal law, understanding the nuances of homicide is crucial for law students and practitioners alike. This post explores the depths of homicide, from its basic definitions to the complex legal doctrines that govern its prosecution.The Foundation of Homicide: Homicide, at its core, is defined as the unlawful killing of a human being by another. However, the legal landscape is far from simple. The concept of "malice aforethought" serves as a cornerstone, historically required for a murder conviction. This term, while ancient, remains pivotal in categorizing the mental states that constitute murder.Degrees of Murder: Modern statutes have evolved to categorize murder into degrees, primarily based on the level of culpability. First-degree murder often involves premeditation, while second-degree murder may not. Understanding these distinctions is vital for legal analysis and application.Defenses and Mitigations: The law recognizes certain defenses that can mitigate a murder charge to manslaughter. These include "adequate provocation" and "imperfect self-defense." The former considers whether a reasonable person would have been provoked to lose self-control, while the latter acknowledges a genuine, albeit unreasonable, belief in the need for self-defense.Causation and Legal Responsibility: Causation in homicide cases is a complex interplay of factual and legal assessments. The "but-for" test establishes a basic link, while legal causation involves a moral evaluation of the defendant's actions. The law also considers intervening acts, such as medical negligence or victim responses, which can break the chain of causation.Conclusion: Navigating the legal intricacies of homicide requires a deep understanding of both subjective mental states and objective legal standards. As you prepare for exams or practice, remember that the law often balances scientific tracing of events with moral judgments about responsibility.Subscribe Now: Stay informed and deepen your legal knowledge by subscribing for more insights into criminal law and beyond.TakeawaysUnderstanding homicide requires grasping the definitions and historical context.Malice aforethought is a technical term that encompasses various mental states.Causation links a defendant's mental state to the outcome of their actions.Factual causation uses the but-for test to establish a connection.Legal causation assesses moral responsibility and foreseeability of outcomes.Voluntary manslaughter can result from adequate provocation or imperfect self-defense.The reasonable person standard is crucial in assessing provocation.The thin skull rule holds defendants liable for the full extent of harm caused.Intervening acts can break the chain of causation under certain conditions.The law balances objective standards with subjective human emotions.homicide, causation, malice aforethought, mens rea, actus reus, criminal law, law student, legal standards, voluntary manslaughter, provocation

Voluntary Reaction 10.19.25: Tennessee loses to Alabama 37-20 by Fanrun Radio

Greece's parliament is voting today on a controversial labour reform proposed by the conservative government, allowing employees under “exceptional circumstances” to work up to 13 hours a day, for up to 37 days a year. The government insists the measure is voluntary and designed to help workers earn more without having to take on a second job. But why do workers need to take on a second job just to survive in the first place, and what does this new bill change for them?Join us on our journey through the events that shape the European continent and the European Union.Production: By Europod, in co production with Sphera Network.Follow us on:LinkedInInstagram Hosted on Acast.

What does Scripture really say about tithing—and does it still apply to Christians today?For some, the tithe feels like a doorway to trusting God's provision. For others, it's a source of guilt, confusion, or even division in the church. John Cortines joins us today to help us take a fresh, biblical look at this ancient practice.John Cortines is the Director of Grantmaking at The Maclellan Foundation. He is the author of our new study on the book of Ecclesiastes, Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money, as well as the co-author of God and Money: How We Discovered True Riches at Harvard Business School and True Riches: What Jesus Really Said About Money and Your Heart.When Giving Becomes a Math ProblemWhat starts as a simple question—“How much should I give?”—can easily become a spiritual trap. When our focus shifts to calculating the exact percentage, we risk turning generosity into a math problem instead of an act of worship. The joy of giving fades when we treat it like a transaction rather than a response of gratitude.For some believers, tithing has been a beautiful first step toward trusting God with their finances. But for others, it's become a burden—tied to fear, guilt, or even manipulative teaching. Some have been told that unless they give precisely ten percent, they'll miss out on God's blessing or fall under His curse. That kind of legalism replaces grace with anxiety.True biblical giving isn't about hitting the right number—it's about having the right heart. When we give freely and joyfully, we reflect the generosity of the God who first gave everything to us.Tithing in the Old TestamentEven before the law, Abraham gave a tenth to Melchizedek as an act of honor to God's priesthood. Jacob vowed to give a tenth as well, though his promise was conditional—“If You do this, God, then I'll do that.”Under the Mosaic law, the tithe became more formalized. In fact, there were three tithes in ancient Israel:The Levitical Tithe – to support priests and temple service.The Festival Tithe – to fund feasts and communal worship.The Charity Tithe – to support the poor and vulnerable.When combined, these amounted to roughly 23% annually, far more than the simple 10% most people imagine. A clear-cut 10% tithe wasn't exactly what it looked like in Scripture.What About the New Testament?Here's where things get interesting. The tithe is central in modern Christian stewardship, but in the New Testament, Jesus and the apostles never use it as a framework for giving.The word tithe does appear four times—but only incidentally. Jesus even rebukes those who tithe meticulously while neglecting “justice and mercy and faithfulness” (Matthew 23:23).Instead, the New Testament presents a new model: gospel generosity. Giving becomes voluntary, sacrificial, joyful, and regularly practiced—not a legalistic percentage, but a reflection of the heart transformed by grace.Five Timeless Principles From the TitheAlthough Old Testament tithing laws don't bind Christians today, there are five beautiful principles we can carry forward:Give to Christ as Priest and King. Just as Abraham honored Melchizedek, we honor Christ by offering our first and best to Him.Give faithfully to the local church. Supporting the ministry and those who shepherd us reflects the heart behind the Levitical tithe.Celebrate God's goodness. The festival tithe reminds us to set aside resources for joyful remembrance—not funded by debt, but by gratitude.Care for the poor. The charity tithe points us toward compassion and generosity for those in need.Use 10% as an ancient benchmark—not a rigid rule. Ten percent may not be a legal requirement, but it remains a helpful starting point for generosity. It's simple math, and maybe that's why God made it easy to remember.The Heart of True GenerosityHere is a striking contrast between two real-life givers.Jack tithes confidently, convinced that God guarantees material blessing in return. “My income will never go down,” he insists.Cindy, meanwhile, gives 9% and feels guilty for “falling short.” Yet her home is open to foster children, and she serves faithfully at church.If Jesus were in the conversation, it's clear who He'd affirm. The heart of giving isn't about a perfectly calculated percentage—it's about love, humility, and faithfulness.Ultimately, tithing isn't about meeting a quota but recognizing that everything belongs to God. The Old Testament giving system was complex, and if anyone claims you'll be ‘blessed or cursed' based on a fixed percentage, be cautious—that leans toward prosperity teaching.Instead, New Testament passages such as 2 Corinthians 8–9 and 1 Timothy 6, as well as Jesus' own words in Matthew 23 and Luke 11, emphasize grace, humility, and joy in giving.The truth is that every dollar belongs to God. We don't give to get a blessing—we give because we've already received the greatest one: salvation and adoption into God's family. That's the essence of biblical stewardship. It's not about meeting a percentage—it's about meeting the Person who gave everything for us.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 56 and hoping to retire in about four years. I have a 401(k) worth approximately $150,000, around $50,000–$60,000 in savings, and one rental property that generates a small monthly income. My home and vehicles are paid off, and most of my income now goes into savings. I want to make smart financial decisions for the next few years—especially when it comes to investing for retirement. I don't want to work forever and miss out on enjoying life. What steps should I take to prepare for this?I would like to follow up on the question the last caller had. My relatives typically live into their mid-70s or 80s. Given that, do I really need to build up a large IRA to have a comfortable retirement?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Voluntary Reaction 9.20.25: Tennessee dominates UAB by Fanrun Radio

In this episode of Run the Riot, ultrarunner Andrea Moore shares how a post-Boston road runner became a desert-loving, mountain-climbing 200-miler—finding joy, grit, and community along the way. We talk about the fire-shortened Oregon 200 experience, redemption arcs at Moab 240 and Tahoe 200, and what it really takes—physically, logistically, mentally—to string together Cocodona 250, Monster 300, and Summit 200. Andrea opens up about mindset over mileage, the power of gratitude, and how OFM/Vespa fueling helps her bounce back fast between huge efforts. What you'll learn Mindset that lasts past mile 200: Why belief, gratitude, and adaptability keep you moving when the plan falls apart. Race-as-training strategy: How Andrea used back-to-back big efforts to prepare for Cocodona 250—and beyond. Fueling the long game (OFM + Vespa): What goes in during 200–300 mile races, why fat adaptation works for her, and how she manages electrolytes and calories. Logistics that don't crumble: Pace charts vs. reality, packing for mountain weather swings, and building a flexible crew plan. Community matters: “Voluntary trauma bonding,” trading snacks at aid stations, and why ultra friends feel like family. Course character: How Monster 300's southern AZ desert differs from the Cocodona storyline, what makes Summit 200 feel like a mountain family picnic, and how Tahoe 200 and Moab 240 teach humility. Episode highlights Leaving a 28-year banking career, moving to Flagstaff, and delivering mail—why service beats sales. From hating running to loving trails: the slippery slope that started at Rocky Raccoon 100K. The “burn the boats” approach to 200s—no plan B, only problem solving. Gear that works at 200+: belts vs. packs, why a bigger-volume vest matters when mandatory gear stacks up. Future goals: a 200-heavy calendar now, then technical vert focus (think Ouray/Speedgoat) on the way to Tour des Géants ambitions. More at http://www.theriot.run/andream
