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.

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?

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.

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. Each with its own rules, definitions, and tax laws."—Adam Steadman explains why U.S. MedTech entry requires a state-by-state strategy, especially for international companies."None of the strategics want your warehouse management system—they want your product, your sales, and your proof of market fit."—Steadman on why building non-core infrastructure slows down commercialization and valuation.Top 5 TakeawaysFDA Clearance ≠ Market Readiness – State-level registrations, sales tax laws, and pharmacy board definitions often delay or block commercialization.Distribution Isn't Always a Shortcut – National distributors may have misaligned incentives and can lock you into exclusivity that hinders growth.Sales Tax is a Regulatory Minefield – 46 states require separate sales tax registration, exemptions tracking, and monthly filings—even if you're tax-exempt.Beware of Long-Term Contracts – Logistics and distribution contracts often lock companies into rigid terms that prevent pivots or acquisitions.Speed to Market Is Strategic – Getting to market fast is often the difference between becoming #1 or #3—and #3 often gets nothing.MedTech 101What Is “Nexus” and Why It Matters for Sales Tax?“Nexus” refers to the minimum level of economic activity that triggers tax obligations in a given state. For example, selling $100,000 of devices or 200 transactions may establish nexus, requiring you to register for sales tax. Unlike VAT in Europe, U.S. sales tax laws are state-specific, making this a major compliance hurdle for MedTech companies.References & Resources

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.

As the PBOC and Fed shift their stances on rates and liquidity flows, the macro landscape is evolving rapidly. In this episode of Bits + Bips, we unpack how these policy changes could spark a massive surge across all asset classes—from equities and bonds to Bitcoin and crude oil.  The hosts, joined by Nikos Kargadouris, a seasoned trader, discuss why liquidity is about to flood the markets, why fears of a U.S. recession may be overblown, and how even memecoins could benefit.  Plus, are central banks close to buying bitcoin ETFs? Show highlights: How the PBOC's shift in policies impacted the markets and when we'll see a “bazooka” How market complacency and short positions on oil amid geopolitical tensions could lead to mispricing and unexpected volatility How rising crude oil prices could slow the U.S. economy, despite the country being a net oil exporter How strong payrolls data reduced market expectations of U.S. rate cuts Why predictions of a U.S. recession might be off Whether it matters for crypto who wins the elections  The chances of central banks adopting Bitcoin What the outlook for memecoins looks like in the next months Whether the HBO documentary about the identify of Satoshi Nakamoto will be a disappointment  Sponsors: Gemini Stellar Hosts: James Seyffart, Research Analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence Alex Kruger, Founder of Asgard Joe McCann, Founder, CEO, and CIO of Asymmetric Guest: Nikos Kargadouris, Chief Investment Officer of a private investment office specializing in cross-asset thematic macro and digital asset strategies.
