This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're joined by Dr. Ari Brown (board-certified pediatrician and author of the bestselling 411 book series) for a conversation about what truly matters for your baby's health. Dr. Brown brings decades of experience helping parents cut through the noise of modern parenting. In this episode, she shares evidence-backed guidance on pregnancy nutrition (what to eat and what to avoid), the latest research on Tylenol use during pregnancy, and the other lifestyle choices that actually influence your baby's development during pregnancy. (PLUS how to tell what's real medical advice versus internet myths.)  We also asked about newborn and toddler health — everything from Hep B shots and vitamin K right after birth to vaccines, breast milk versus formula, picky eating, and how to handle screen time for young kids. Science-based, judgment-free, and grounded in real pediatric expertise, this episode covers everything we (and you guys!!!) are genuinely curious about when it comes to keeping your baby healthy.

Send us a text“The train is the most civilized mode of transport. You can read, move about, and—if you want—meet interesting people.” – Sir Michael PalinWhy has the U.S.—a nation of innovation—fallen so far behind in passenger rail? And what will it take to reinvent medium-distance travel for the modern age?On the 75th episode of the Railway Transportation Systems podcast, I sit down with Joshua Dominic, Co-Founder & CEO of Dreamstar Lines, who is leading one of the most ambitious passenger rail projects in America today.Joshua and his team are working to reintroduce overnight trains as a premium, sustainable alternative to cars and planes—starting with a luxury service between Los Angeles and San Francisco. With design partnerships like BMW's Designworks and a landmark agreement with Union Pacific, Dreamstar aims to close the country's “500-mile gap” in travel by combining comfort, convenience, and sustainability.

Why is solar so expensive in the U.S.?Nick Josefowitz has the receipts—and a plan to fix it.In this episode, we dig into one of the largest hidden reasons rooftop solar costs $35,000+ for the average American homeowner (while in Australia it's closer to $6K). Spoiler: It's not the panels—it's the paperwork.Nick is the founder of Permit Power, a nonprofit laser-focused on making solar faster, cheaper, and easier to install by tackling the bottlenecks that most people overlook: permitting and interconnection. Drawing from his experience as both a C&I developer and public infrastructure policy leader, Nick shares how America's red tape turned rooftop solar into a bespoke luxury—and why that's about to change.If you've ever felt frustrated by utility interconnection delays, permit backlogs, or unnecessary installation costs, this is the episode that gives you hope—and tools.

Health care executive Ashish Mandavia discusses his article "Why U.S. health care pricing is so confusing—and how to fix it." Ashish explains how systemic misaligned incentives, opaque insurance practices, and weak enforcement drive up patient costs and mistrust in the health care system. He outlines the emotional and financial toll of surprise medical bills and argues for stronger accountability, technology-driven transparency, and shared responsibility across hospitals, insurers, providers, and patients. Ashish offers listeners practical takeaways, such as the role of digital tools in cost clarity, the need for enforcement that closes loopholes, and how patients can advocate for fairer, more predictable care.

"It comes back to that basic understanding that a monetary unit of fixed supply did not exist before Bitcoin. That's the key. That's the insight people need to get their heads around" LISTEN TO "THE BIG PRINT": https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Big-Print-Audiobook/B0F2NBRB4Q In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker America is joined by legendary investor and sound money advocate Lawrence “Larry” Lepard to break down the global macro storm that's unfolding right now. Larry explains why the U.S. is trapped in a debt doom loop, how shadow yield curve control signals stealth money printing, and why inflation is set to roar back harder in 2025. We dive into the national debt passing $37 trillion, M2 growth, bond yields, and why fiat currencies everywhere are failing faster than most people realize. Larry also unpacks the historical patterns of gold leading inflation waves while Bitcoin follows with explosive gains, and why Bitcoin's fixed supply makes it the ultimate hedge against monetary debasement. Together, Walker and Larry connect the dots between the Fourth Turning, long-term debt cycles, political instability, AI, and Bitcoin—showing how all cycles are converging toward a historic reset. If you want to understand why Larry Lepard believes Bitcoin and gold are the lifeboats in a sinking fiat Titanic—and why this decade could bring the biggest wealth transfer in history—this is a must-watch. What you'll learn: - Why U.S. debt and deficits guarantee higher inflation ahead - How M2 growth, bond yields, and Fed/Treasury actions reveal the truth - Why Bitcoin and gold are the best protection in the coming reset - How the Fourth Turning, anacyclosis, and debt cycles converge with Bitcoin - Larry's price outlook for gold ($4,000) and Bitcoin ($140k+) by end of 2025 - Why “nothing stops this train”—and how to prepare your family.

Why are nearly all American homes built out of wood when most of the world uses brick, steel, or concrete? In Part I of our conversation Architect Jeana Ripple, author of The Type V City, explains how the U.S.'s reliance on light wood framing—known as Type V construction—became the national default. She breaks down the benefits (affordability, flexibility, sustainability) and the hidden risks (mold, storm damage, limited adaptability) that slowly shape the country's homes, neighborhoods, cities, and built environment. This conversation reveals how building codes and materials influence urban life far more than most of us realize.Jeana Ripple is the Chair of the Department of Architecture and the Vincent and Eleanor Shea Professor at the University of Virginia.

Why do American neighborhoods so often look the same, filled with “five-over-one” apartments or endless rows of wood-framed houses? In Part II of our conversation, architect Jeana Ripple—author of The Type V City and Chair of Architecture at the University of Virginia—explains how Type V construction and building codes interact with zoning, finance, and policy to shape entire cities. From Chicago's fire-driven codes to Seattle's tolerance of replacement, Ripple shows how materials influence affordability, aesthetics, politics, and even community health. This conversation reveals how hidden regulations quietly dictate the look, feel, and risks of American urban life.Jeana Ripple is the Chair of the Department of Architecture and the Vincent and Eleanor Shea Professor at the University of Virginia.

Should you invest in Canada or the United States? In this Wealthion interview, RockLinc Investment Partners CEO Jonathan Wellum explains the critical differences between the two markets and where investors can still find overlooked opportunities in Canada. The U.S. dominates with unmatched size, liquidity, and technology leadership, while Canada remains concentrated in energy, resources, and banks. This creates very different risk/return profiles for investors. Jonathan covers: Why the U.S. market is deeper, more diversified, and a global growth engine. Canada's heavy reliance on commodities, and why this makes returns more cyclical. The impact of currency swings (CAD vs. USD) on cross-border returns. Tax considerations for Canadians buying U.S. stocks (and vice versa). Why U.S. markets have outperformed for decades — and whether that will continue. Hidden Canadian gems like Cameco, Franco-Nevada, and Wheaton Precious Metals, and global firms like Brookfield and Constellation Software. How Wellum allocates today: ~65% U.S., ~35% Canada & Europe.  

How you can bid on some prized and iconic items that were on display at the Mirage.

Hayes breaks down: Powell vs. Trump: why politics, not economics, will dictate Fed policy. How endless money printing will fuel Bitcoin's next major surge. Why stablecoins could become the ultimate U.S. weapon, and reshape global finance. The coming trillion-dollar explosion in DeFi and his favorite projects now. Ethereum vs. Solana: what it will take to win the Layer 1 battle. The rise of digital asset corporations (DACs) and passive index flows. Why U.S. derivatives markets may never catch up to offshore exchanges. If you want to understand the forces that will shape the next crypto bull run, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.

Many MedTech companies focus heavily on FDA clearance but overlook a critical layer of U.S. market entry: state-level compliance. In this episode, Etienne Nichols speaks with Adam Steadman, CEO of MDD Options, to unpack the real-world challenges that derail commercialization after regulatory approval. From navigating state-specific registration, sales tax laws, and distribution logistics to choosing between direct and distributor-based strategies, Adam shares hard-earned insights for avoiding the "second valley of death" post-clearance. Whether you're a domestic startup or an international company entering the U.S., this episode arms you with a tactical understanding of compliance landmines and scalable go-to-market strategies.Key Timestamps00:02 – Intro: The real MedTech “valley of death” after FDA clearance04:45 – Why U.S. state-level registration is misunderstood and overlooked08:15 – State-level definitions of medical devices and why they differ11:20 – Strategic go-to-market options: Distribution vs. Direct17:00 – How regulations vary drastically by state (CA, TX, etc.)21:50 – The real risks of noncompliance: lawsuits, bad PR, and due diligence failures26:15 – Why distribution agreements can stall your growth (and how to avoid it)34:30 – Sales tax & use tax: The hidden compliance trap39:10 – Logistics, warehousing, and long-term liabilities in contracts44:55 – Overlooked pitfalls: Secretary of State filings and income tax in 36+ states51:15 – Software as a Medical Device (SaMD): U.S. compliance still applies55:30 – Selling to the U.S. government vs. private sector buyers59:20 – Veterinary devices and why they still need regulatory controls1:03:10 – What a winning go-to-market strategy actually looks like1:10:25 – Adam's final advice to MedTech startups (foreign and domestic)Standout Quotes"You're not entering one country—you're entering 50 states and D.C.

For example, selling $100,000 of devices or 200 transactions may establish nexus, requiring you to register for sales tax.

This unfiltered conversation challenges the official narrative surrounding Israel's assault on Gaza and America's role in perpetuating the crisis.In this episode, Dr. Sidhwa shares what he witnessed on the ground: the normalization of ethnic division in Israeli society, the calculated destruction of Gaza's infrastructure, and the complicity of U.S. media and political institutions. He breaks down the numbers — and the names — that prove Gaza's healthcare catastrophe is not a byproduct of war, but a direct result of policy.Topics include:• Why Gaza is facing a medical crisis far worse than Ukraine• The devastating effects of the Israeli blockade on healthcare and aid• How Israel's military campaign has targeted children and hospitals• Personal stories from inside Gaza's surgical wards• The disturbing disparities in casualty reporting and human shields narratives• Israel's strategic role in U.S. empire-building in the Middle East• The long history of American complicity in Middle Eastern violence• Why U.S. arms shipments keep flowing despite global outrage• The Gaza healthcare letter to Biden — and the blowback it triggered• The media's role in burying evidence and conflating criticism with antisemitism• Netanyahu's manipulation of global politics through fear and distraction• The real purpose behind America's unwavering support for Israel• Why the Gaza crisis may be the breaking point for global perception… and much more. This conversation isn't about politics — it's about people. About truth. And about the silence that enables suffering.
