Podcasts about when us

Our cultural divides start early in America - some even in childhood. As kids, we learn where we come from and where we belong. Those divisions can really run deep. When Us & Them host Trey Kay was a kid at George Washington High School in Charleston, West Virginia, you were either a ‘hiller' or a ‘creeker.' The sorting followed class lines and separated kids based on their family's income. Trey goes back to his old neighborhood to see if others remember it the way he does. Some of their differences were subtle while others were as basic as the clothes they could afford. But what he learned from these adult conversations is that they had a lot in common. They were all self-conscious and knew that even their shoes could define them. Another thing they all share? The pain of those 40-year-old wounds can sometimes still sting.

When US blockades on Cuba cause suffering, the suffering proves that socialism doesn't work. When US-backed blockades on Yemen cause suffering, it's an unfortunate and tragic accident of nature. Reading by Tim Foley.

How have the planet's minerals evolved? If we want to understand the origins of life on earth, and how early life developed, we need to understand the earth itself and what it was made of. When US mineralogist Robert Hazen was asked if he knew what minerals existed on early Earth, he started a research journey that led to a new idea – mineral evolution – a theory that proposes that the mineralogy of terrestrial planets and moons evolves because of the varied physical, chemical, and biological processes that lead to the formation of new minerals.  Join Robert Hazen in discussion with UNSW Sydney geologist and astrobiologist Martin Van Kranendonk as they discuss the story of Earth, mineral evolution, where carbon fits into all of this, and the rich challenges of doing science and being able to study nature. --- The Centre for Ideas' new series of international conversations brings the world to Sydney. Each digital event brings a leading UNSW thinker together with their international peer or hero to explore inspiration, new ideas and discoveries.

In this episode of Financial Planning for Canadian Business Owners, Jason Pereira, award-winning financial planner, university lecturer, and writer, interviews Ashley Murphy, Founder of the Global Financial Planning Institute. Ashley is here to talk about the challenges of financial planning across borders!Episode Highlights:1:15 – Ashley Murphy introduces himself and the GFPI.2:26 – How did Ashley get into this space?7:04 – Jason and Ashley break down the concept of working with 2 different playbooks in international financial planning.11:22 – Jason discusses the US's citizen-based tax regulations.12:44 – Where are the biggest areas that international citizens feel the most agony?15:30 – Jason and Ashley contemplate the probability of global tax regulation.17:50 – Ashley explains the low propensity for the average citizen to do their own financial planning.21:40 – Jason and Ashley discuss how lax the financial planning community is about cross–border financial planning.25:07 – What is Ashley's advice for anyone researching multi-jurisdictional financial planning advice?3 Key PointsAs a tri–citizen, born in Australia and raised in the UK by an American mother before moving to the US, Ashley understands more than most the difficulties of international financial planning.When US citizens are dealing with cross–border issues, regulations and laws are interpreted differently in other countries which forces them to operate under 2 playbooks.Unlike almost every other country in the world, the US taxes people based on citizenship rather than residency. So, even if you move to another country, you have to file with the IRS. Tweetable Quotes:“This is not merely some small belt-mounted toolkit of practices or issues that one can simply apply when dealing with an international cross–border plan. It's a whole different specialty altogether.” – Ashley Murphy“When you're dealing with cross–border issues, especially when you're a US citizen, you're dealing with 2 different playbooks.” – Jason Pereira“As advisors, all we can do is recommend that our clients fully follow the law...then we come up against a culture of ignorance, naivety, and non–compliance.” – Ashley Murphy“The problem is the advisors have an economic incentive to work with whoever they can and fluff their way through it.” – Ashley Murphy Resources Mentioned:Facebook – Jason Pereira's FacebookLinkedIn – Jason Pereira's LinkedInWoodgate.com – SponsorFintechImpact.co – Website for Fintech Impactjasonpereira.ca – Jason Pereira's WebsiteGfp.institute – Website for the Global Financial Planning InstituteArete–wa.com – Website for private clientsTranscript See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

When US health expert sighed last week that science could now speak again, his sense of relief was shared by many scientists. Since the start of the Trump administration, experts inside the US government's science agencies, and those outside working with them have felt their efforts sidelined. From the coronavirus effort to international relations and the border wall, Roland Pease hears from some of those who have felt shut out of the nation's science conversation these past four years.

MLS youth league will attempt to do it right with partnership with US Soccer.   When US youth soccer is involved it doesn't look good.

Taking notes by hand may seem outdated but you learn more than you would by typing things out. Why are our state and local leaders writing laws on behalf of corporations rather than representing the people who elect them? As you make your way through the work day, do you ever stop to think if there's more to what you're doing than simply earning a paycheck? When US leaders demand that Iran act like a "normal nation", what exactly do they mean? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

When US president Donald Trump withdrew US troops from Syria, he bewildered many among his own military, intelligence and foreign-policy establishments. But, most of all, his decision dismayed the Kurds of Northern Syria, long-serving allies to the US in the fight against Isis. As Turkish forces roll into the region known as Rojava, what, if anything, can the Kurds do to stop them?

When US presidents get on the phone to speak with foreign leaders, staff are on hand to take diligent notes. But is there a set procedure of how calls with foreign dignitaries are handled? Tom Blanford from the National Security Archives in Washington, DC says that Trump’s style has been very different compared with his predecessors. Also, TikTok, is one of the most popular social media apps in the world but the company that owns it is based in China, and some say that's leading to censorship; When you think about the Soviet Union, you don’t often think about comedy, Michael Idov’s film ‘The Humorist’ delves into the life of a Soviet comic; the power of comedy is something stand-up comedian Noam Shuster-Eliassi is trying to harness in order to start a more honest conversation between Israelis and Palestinians; and the tale of a Russian ship captain whose message in a bottle was recently discovered on a beach in Alaska.

When US volunteers from the International Brigade returned to America after two years of bloodshed and slaughter in Spain, they received a frosty welcome from a suspicious FBI and police. Much of the American public knew very little about the war and understood nothing of what was at stake. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

When US science agencies face mistrust and cutbacks, federal grant recipients are put in the hot seat. It’s never before been so crucial for science entrepreneurs to tell their stories as innovators and problem-solvers.

When US explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark arrived in October of 1805, the residents of the area spoke Sahaptian and Chinookian, and lived in wooden plank lodges roofed with bark. Clark referred to the area as the “Great Mart”, as it was teeming with traders hocking baskets, boxes, furs, seashells, and precious blue beads.

003:  FRANK HANNA BACKGROUND Serial Entrepreneur – taken one of his company’s public, been involved in private equity for 25 years and worked with leaders as diverse as the president and the pope. Featured in PBS Documentary The Call of the Entrepreneur. Served on the boards for numerous think tanks and nonprofits. Involved in founding 8 new Catholic educational institutions. Founder of the Solidarity Association that guards the Hanna Papyrus, which is the oldest copy of the Gospel of Luke and the Lord’s Prayer in the world. Author of 2 books…What Your Money Means and A Graduate’s Guide to Life BUSINESS JOURNEY Be patient, but be ready. He had the idea for his first business in 1982, but the opportunity for it to happen didn’t present itself until 1989.  He was ready when the opportunity did arise and was able to do business with Cargill the largest private company in the world at the time. Relationships – don’t look at others as a potential way to make money or improve your business. Look at others as a relationship that needs to be fostered because relationships are a key component of our true wealth. Don’t worry about always selling others on your idea. Foster relationships and be enthusiastic about what you are doing.  If someone doesn’t want to invest, then it’s ok.  Maybe that’s not what they are there to do.  That relationship will serve another purpose down the road. How did Frank grow his initial idea into a $1.5 billion portfolio of nonperforming loans? From the beginning he was always thinking about how he could scale the business. Established a beachhead and well positioned as a first mover. When US government gave stamp of approval for banks to sell off these types of loans, the market expanded rapidly and his company was already positioned to take advantage of the opportunity. So why did Frank sell a successful business to a private equity company? Within a few years competition with very deep pockets increased significantly. Better chance of success partnering with a larger company than trying to go it alone. The decision paid off. He was able to take some money off the table and retain 20% ownership to participate in future success. One of the keys to his success was finding larger companies to partner with. e. Cargill and Goldman Sachs Project integrity by practicing it on a daily basis. Developing it as a habit. Only way to improve intellectually, emotionally and physically is to work out. There are ways to work out for each of these areas of our lives.  Most people focus on the physical, but need to work on intellectual and emotional as well.  Building habits of virtue is the best way to accomplish this. Frank’s Tip For You – Best way for a small business to accelerate growth is to find a way to hitch yourself to a larger business. Bill Gates did this in the early days with IBM.  What do the larger business look for in a smaller business before they will partner with you?  Transparency and Integrity.  Listen for more details on how to build credibility with larger businesses.   FAITH JOURNEY As Christians, hopefully there are a number of pivot points in our life when we intentionally decide to live out our faith. Frank has several, but he shares the one time that had the biggest impact on him to intentionally live his Catholic faith.  Minute 13 Typically if he could work hard enough and want something bad enough, he was able to get it…except for this one thing that was totally out of his control. This was a bad thing, but the older he has gotten the more he has realized the many good things and blessings he has received that are out of his control as well. What is Frank’s daily challenge to himself? Every day he asks himself, ‘has everyone I have encountered left me better or worse?’  At the end of every day he does an examination of conscience to see how he did. How does Frank balance a successful business career, his family and his faith? He doesn’t believe balance is the right approach. It is about establishing priorities. What are his priorities? God, wife, children, parents, other family members, work. Once the priorities are set, keeping them in order is the bigger challenge. How does he monitor this? Not with hours and hours of prayer, but with 3 checkpoints throughout the day including daily Mass.  While daily Mass isn’t a requirement for Catholics, prayer is.  If we aren’t taking time to talk to God, then we can’t be putting Him first. INSIGHTS ON ACHIEVING REAL SUCCESS Money is a gift from God. We should be deliberate about how we use it.  If not, then we can jeapordize our soul and that of those we love. What is the essence of wealth? Almost everyone wants to be successful. Most people want to be wealthy, but think money is the only measure of wealth. Frank knows several Billionaires personally. What is the one thing that the happy Billionaires have in common?  It’s the same thing that all of the unhappy Billionaires don’t have.  It’s a happy marriage.  While this isn’t THE KEY to happiness, it is an essential part. Who is truly wealthy? Someone filled with well being.  Typically someone that has a good relationship with God and is happily married.  2 Main Elements of Wealth – Human relationships and hope for the future How can you be wealthier than Warren Buffett? 29 minute mark Keys to being wealthy? Engage in hopeful activity.  What is one of the most hopeful things you can do in this world?  Minute 32 We are happiest when we are fully human. What do we need to be fully human?  Full of Virtue. Misconception about Competition – It is not always a good thing. We can become more like an  animal or more like a man, depending on how we choose to compete. KEY TAKEAWAYS Realization that faith is a gift. We have to practice our faith daily.  As Christians Christ warns us that we will be persecuted for our faith.  If we view our faith as a burden or set of rules we must follow, it is going to be difficult to stick with when persecution comes our way.

When US and UK forces invaded Iraq in 2003, millions of people took to the streets to protes – to little effect. The bombs of Shock and Awe kept falling. By some estimates the civilian death toll stands at over 150,000. Like many people, tonight’s guest David Gross had a crisis of conscience. And yet unlike many people, he’s done something about it. He’s stopped paying taxes. Not by tax avoidance, but by lowering his income below the tax threshold - and by using as many loopholes as he can find within the law. You know, just like all our much-loved multi-national corporations do! Tonight’s guest tax resistor David Gross But would his solutions work for you? His recent book - 99 Tactics of Successful Tax Resistance Campaigns - combs through history for examples of tax resistance movements that actually changed government policy (like the Suffragettes. Such tactics don't come without risk: despite Mr. Gross' best efforts, the IRS is after him for thirty grand and if his profile gets much higher he risks incarceration. Is he an elitist? A traitor? Or - sin of all sins in the USA - does he not support the troops? Tonight, our host and self-confessed “taxpaying mug” producer play good cop/bad cop with one brave individual who refuses to fund the system error they call the war on terror.
