Send us a textThe infamous Belle Starr—a pistol-packing outlaw queen of the Wild West or a misunderstood historical figure whose legend overshadows reality? This fascinating exploration of Myra Maybel Shirley Starr reveals the stark contrast between the woman herself and the sensationalized "Bandit Queen" who captured America's imagination.Born in 1848 Missouri to a prosperous family, young May Shirley straddled two worlds—receiving a refined classical education at Carthage Female Academy while simultaneously developing remarkable riding and shooting skills under her beloved brother Bud's guidance. This duality would define her life, creating a woman comfortable in multiple spheres and unwilling to conform to 19th-century expectations of femininity.The Civil War shattered the Shirleys' comfortable existence. Missouri's brutal guerrilla conflict exposed May to violence, betrayal, and a moral code that existed outside conventional law. When her idolized brother Bud was killed by Union soldiers in 1864 and their hometown of Carthage burned, the family fled to Texas, joining countless displaced Southerners seeking new beginnings. This dramatic downward mobility—from affluence to a primitive dugout dwelling in lawless Scyene, Texas—became the crucible that transformed an educated young woman into a figure who would associate with notorious outlaws.Through meticulous historical research, we unravel how the seeds of the Belle Starr legend were planted in this tumultuous period of American history. The podcast examines how personal tragedy, war trauma, and frontier justice shaped not just Belle's trajectory but the wider cultural fascination with outlaws who defied authority in the post-Civil War era. What emerges is a captivating portrait of resilience, reinvention, and the complex dynamics between historical truth and American mythmaking.Follow our four-part series on Belle Starr and other remarkable women who shaped Western narratives.

In This Episode Live from the main stage at Arizent's Digital Banking 2025, this high-energy episode of Breaking Banks brings the regulatory heat. Host Jason Henrichs is joined by Alex Johnson (Fintech Takes) and Dara Tarkowski (Actuate Law) for unfiltered, rapid-fire takes on the most urgent—and divisive—issues shaping digital finance regulation today. In a fintech twist on the classic ‘90s game FMK, the trio tackles which regulatory bodies to "love, leave, or reform"—from the CFPB and OCC to the NCUA and beyond. No topic is off-limits as they debate the shifting landscape around Section 1033, Open Banking implementation, UDAP enforcement, and the growing tensions between innovation and compliance. Plus: what do the STABLE Act, the GENIUS Act, and Stablecoin policy have in common? They all point to a regulatory future that's as complex as it is critical to get right. This episode is not for the faint of heart, but essential listening for anyone working at the intersection of fintech, policy, and consumer protection.
In this in-depth conversation, Dr. Mike Belkowski reunites with Chris Burres, co-founder of SES Research and the original supplier of the carbon 60 (C60) used in the historic 2012 French longevity study where Wistar rats lived 90% longer than the control group. This episode centers around the rebranding of BioLight's C60 product to BioESS60, with an emphasis on scientific rigor, quality assurance, and consumer safety. Chris and Dr. Mike unpack why the C60 supplement market has become compromised, how the name ESS60 (Elemental Safe Spheres) was created to separate quality-controlled, biologically safe carbon 60 from industrial or fraudulent versions, and what the latest science suggests about its mechanism of action inside the mitochondria. Chris introduces the BOSS Theory — Buffering Oxidative Stress System — explaining how ESS60 functions as a selective antioxidant that targets negatively charged ROS without interfering with redox signaling. This distinguishes it from traditional antioxidants like vitamin C or E, which are non-selective and degrade after use. Chris compares ESS60 to a “molecular sponge” that protects the cell's internal “prairie” from the torrential stress “storms” of modern life. Alongside that, the two discuss how ESS60 and methylene blue may have synergistic roles in mitochondrial optimization — MB enhances ATP production efficiency, while ESS60 buffers the resulting oxidative stress. The conversation also touches on the evolving understanding of nitric oxide (NO) signaling and how not all NO inhibition is necessarily harmful — especially when considering MB's selective inhibition of inducible NO synthase (iNOS). If you found the information in today's episode with Chris Burres particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge. Sharing is caring :)As always, light up your health! - Key Quotes: “ESS60 is a selective antioxidant — it buffers only the negatively charged reactive oxygen species that cause damage, while preserving the signaling functions of the others.” – Chris Burres “Taking something in the morning and positively impacting sleep at night — that's not normal. But that's what people consistently report with ESS60.” – Chris Burres “The supplement industry is the Wild West. That's why we're creating separation between industrial-grade C60 and ultra-clean, biologically safe S60.” – Dr. Mike Belkowski - Key Points: 00:00 – Introduction: C60 vs. ESS60 and Mitochondrial Health Focus 01:17 – Guest Intro: Chris Burres and the 2012 Longevity Study 03:05 – Biohacking Conferences: Networking and New Tech Insights 05:36 – Nano Oxygen Bubbles: A Hyperbaric Alternative 17:35 – ESS60 Explained: Benefits and Mechanisms 30:06 – Buffering Oxidative Stress: The Boss Theory 44:41 – C60 vs. ESS60: Navigating the Supplement Market 48:43 – Exposing Fraud in the C60 Space: Safety Concerns 52:29 – The Switch to ESS60: Ensuring Consumer Safety 56:27 – Purity and Processing: Why ESS60 is Different 1:00:11 – Dosage and Long-Term Use of ESS60 1:06:19 – Cycling ESS60: Is It Necessary? 1:10:55 – ESS60 and Cancer: Preventative Potential 1:15:27 – Current Research: CRP Study and Future Directions 1:21:49 – Closing Thoughts: Integrity in Health and Wellness - Where to learn more from and about Chris Burres: Instagram LinkedInBook by Chris Burres:Living Longer and Better - Upcoming BioLight Events: Returning to Nature (Quantum Health Retreat), June 26 - 27 (Franklin, TN) - Officially introducing......

Our hosts return to the podcave, dust off their spurs, and ride into the Wild West as they review the episode, “Showdown.” Alex and Will dive into the animated debut of legendary DC antihero Jonah Hex, discovering his questionable past as a Confederate soldier -- which is quite the departure from his comic book origins. But, in a surprising twist, the mostly liberal person in 1883 was Ra's Al Ghul. He stands up against the mistreatment of his labourers and tries to free his small frontier community from a corrupt government railroad takeover. Wild, Wild West, anyone?They also discuss Ra's catatonic son who probably died on the plane journey home and the premier episode of his history podcast titled, "I Was There!"Saddle up for another spirited episode filled with time travel, antiheroes, and just the right amount of absurdity.Tip Jar: https://buymeacoffee.com/batmantaspodJoin Our Discord - https://discord.com/invite/bQF76V3nUsOutbreaks Vol. 1 Launch Page - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/speechcomics/outbreaks-volume-1-an-ongoing-zombie-anthology-series?ref=discovery&term=outbreaks&total_hits=1475&category_id=252Follow us on TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@batmantaspod?_t=8zn1yhsgnfz&_r=1Follow us on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@batmantaspodFollow the Pod on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/batmantaspod/Follow the Pod on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BatmanTASPod/Follow the Pod on Twitter - https://twitter.com/batmantaspod1Subscribe to Will's Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/willrobsonSpeech Comics Website - https://www.speechcomics.com/Monster Mash 1-2 Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/speechcomics/mobster-mash-1-2-classic-movie-monsters-as-mobstersWill's WhatNot Page - https://www.whatnot.com/user/speechcomics

We'll dive into the reality of dating apps. The highs, the lows, and why they often feel like a total gamble. Is it just bad luck, or are these apps setting us up for failure? And more importantly, how do we keep our self-worth intact when dating leaves us feeling more frustrated than hopeful? Tune in for some relatable laughs, lessons learned, and maybe even a little validation if you've ever found yourself wondering, what the actual fuck is going on?
In early December 1976, a film crew was shooting an episode of a popular television show at The Pike, a boardwalk amusement park in Long Beach, California. In order to prepare for the scene, the prop master moved what he believed to be a wax mannequin hanging from funhouse gallows; however, when he grabbed the mannequin by the arm, the limb broke off, revealing human bone and muscle tissue.After removing the body to the coroner's office to be autopsied, it was revealed that what had long thought to have been a wax museum dummy was in fact the body of a man who'd died from a gunshot wound more than six decades before his body was discovered in Long Beach. After some basic detective work, investigators learned that the mummified corpse was that of Elmer McCurdy, an early twentieth-century bank robber who was shot and killed by a sheriff's posse in Oklahoma in 1911.Removing the body from the funhouse and identifying the body allowed authorities to arrange for a proper burial, but it did little to answer the question on the minds of so many: How did the mummified body of a long-dead outlaw end up on display in a wax museum funhouse?Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesCohen, Jerry. 1976.

S4:E175 First, the Notable and Quotable this week in Venture and then an interview with Karl Rabago, an independent Electric Utility and Grid expert. We'll be talking about energy demand vs supply for data centers and how it can affect the entrepreneurial success of data center developers. Both Hyperscalers and individual entrepreneurs are in a frenzy to develop data centers and both groups rely on developers to solve the problems and to take on the risks of development. It's created a gold rush of sorts with all the market distortions one might expect in a race for riches. The reward for the Hyperscalers' contract developers is a big payout at completion or even better for owner developers, long term recurring revenue with very attractive margins. It's become the Wild West of energy. Next week we will be talking about how AI is accelerating robotics into the venture economy to take on manual work.

Slam the Gavel welcomes Attorney Bethany Niman, from Idaho to the podcast. As a solo lawyer, she opened Bright Star Law in Idaho. Her focus is on Estate Planning and Criminal Defense cases and is able to practice in Idaho and Montana. Currently, she is offering basic Estate Planning packages for $250.00, which includes Simple Wills, Medical and Financial Power of Attorney, Declaration of Living Will, and Declaration of Homestead. Also, discounts are available for couples and veterans. Today we discussed the dilemmas that Pro Se Litigants face in the family courtrooms where accountability is overlooked and children are handed over to the abuser. We also discussed that there is a pattern to this and a case that is not a "one off." A mother that hasn't seen her children in 10 months for no reason and has evidence of the abuse, while the abuser has issues himself, shows clearly that the mother should be given full custody. This case is clear cut however, Judge Chad Gulstrom thinks otherwise. Perjury and contempt have now added to the "Wild West," of the family court system.There will be an update on this case. We also discussed the Decker Case that made the news and was referenced in the article, ABC News: "Father who killed 3 daughters was 'active dad' but the 'system failed' him, ex-wife's attorney says," written by Megan Forrester.To Reach Attorny Niman: Facebook, Bethany.Niman@starlawid.com or 208-223-1618 Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook: https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536 Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetri*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

One of the development initiatives affected by the Trump Administration's shutdown of USAID is the Soybean Innovation Lab, which works to improve soybean yields and production in Africa to help boost farmers' income. Our guest discusses her work with the Soybean Innovation Lab and why helping improve farmers' yields is so fulfilling. Also, a recent study finds the Colorado River Basin has lost a tremendous amount of water in the last two decades, in part from thirsty farms pumping groundwater much faster than it can be replenished. We discuss the “Wild West” of unregulated groundwater, potential solutions and why the rapid depletion of ancient groundwater threatens the water supply for future generations. And the winner of the 2025 Goldman Environmental Prize for Asia was raised as a Mongolian herder and later became an engineer who worked on mining projects in the mineral-rich country.

When you hear the name “Austin” - Texas might come to mind but its roots run deep in the rocky soil of Missouri's lead belt. In this third episode of The Old Ozarks, historian Dr. Brooks Blevins unearths a forgotten chapter of Ozarks history: how the rise of lead mining in southeastern Missouri shaped early America, laid the groundwork for industrial expansion, and gave rise to one of Texas's founding fathers. Summary: Meet Moses Austin: a Connecticut-born entrepreneur whose mining empire in Potosi, Missouri transformed the Ozarks into an industrial hub long before the Wild West was even wild. From the French and Spanish colonial roots of lead mining to the enslaved labor that powered it, Moses Austin's ambition (and eventual downfall) led his son, Stephen F. Austin, to fulfill a vision that would forever change American history. Whether you're a fan of regional history, American industrialization, or Ozark folklore, this story-rich episode is a must-listen. What is The Old Ozarks? The Old Ozarks is your gateway to the forgotten history of the Ozarks. Hosted by renowned historian Dr. Brooks Blevins, the leading authority on the region's history, this podcast explores the lives, legends, and landscapes that have shaped this unique region. Whether you're a native Ozarker, a new resident, or a curious listener, join us as we share the stories that make the Ozarks special and connect us to our past.

The Wild West is full of myths, but behind the gunfights and honor codes is a deeper story about virtue and civilization. In today's episode, bestselling author Bryan Burrough joins Ryan to explore the truth behind America's gunfighter era. They discuss how honor culture took root in the lawless frontier, where violence was so common that gunfights were simply called “fights”, and what that reveals about the difference between performative strength and real virtue.Bryan Burrough is the author of Public Enemies, The Big Rich, Forget The Alamo, and most recently The Gunfighters: How Texas Made the West Wild.

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training What if one bad hire wrecked your agency? What if the red flag you're dismissing tanked your margins? Most agency owners learn these lessons the hard way. But you don't have to. In this episode, Collin Slattery shares the red flags, hiring mistakes, and leadership shifts that helped him build an agency that's not just growing—but growing sane. He's here to share stories that can help you shortcut the pain and build smarter, sooner. From pricing hesitations to over-hiring juniors to waiting too long to fire a bad hire, he brings great insights about what not to do—and what to fix fast. At the end of the day, the goal isn't just growth—it's sane growth. Collin Slattery is the founder of Taikun Digital, an agency that primarily focuses on the e-commerce space, doing Facebook ads, Google ads, and creative landing pages for clients. He'll share his scrappy beginnings, the mistakes that cost him (and taught him), and the non-negotiables he's learned about red flags and respecting your own time as an agency owner. His strategy now is simple: only do the work that's uniquely his. Delegate the rest. And when hiring, pay for people who love the stuff you hate. In this episode, we'll discuss: How to spot sales-process red flags before they cost you. Why hiring friends usually fails—and how to do it right if you must. What to do before a big client leaves—so you're not scrambling. The hiring mindset that leads to faster, saner growth.Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources E2M Solutions: Today's episode of the Smart Agency Masterclass is sponsored by E2M Solutions, a web design, and development agency that has provided white-label services for the past 10 years to agencies all over the world.

Starting with $300 and a Canadian Pharmacy Right out of high school—class of '07—Collin started making money online during what he calls the "Wild West" days of digital marketing. Think bootleg Canadian pharmacies, early Google Ads, and cracked versions of Adobe software. One of his first official clients was a skincare brand called Spa Technologies, which he charged $300 a month to handle “all the web stuff”—from email and SEO to advertising and site updates. He even landed a local government gig in New York early (back when procurement was a little less formal). It wasn't glamorous, but it was enough to plant the seed for what would eventually become his agency. Eventually, Collin took the boutique route. He leaned into complex client problems and bespoke solutions, found his zone of genius, and grew from there. Hiring Red Flags During the Sales Process One of the most expensive lessons agency owners learn, and one Collin has relearned, is ignoring red flags during the sales process. It's amazing how anyone can forget to trust their gut when they need the money, but Collin has learned this lesson by now. From clients with unreasonable expectations who ghost meetings to those who show up late or treat your time like it's optional, he has learned to put a limit. Today, he waits five minutes—max—for a prospect to join a call. If they don't show, he's out. Because if someone doesn't respect your time on the sales call, they're definitely not going to respect your process, boundaries, or team later on. The biggest red flag for Collin is clients who offload all responsibility. If they're promising to be your “best client ever” or insisting they'll deliver everything you need “right away,” it's worth digging deeper. Of course, clients who are too involved can also be a problem. However, the agency can't be more invested than they are in their own success. To prevent this, establish a pricing structure where at least 50% of the project is paid upfront, with clear dates for the remaining payments.. This can help irresponsible clients get moving on what they're supposed to deliver, although Jason shares a story about a client who paid 100% upfront (before kickoff!) but delayed the project by not providing what was promised. That's why process and payment timelines matter. If you don't control scope and expectations from day one, you'll pay for it in time, profit, and sanity. When One Bad Hire Derails Everything Collin's been on both ends of the hiring spectrum—over-prioritizing skill and under-prioritizing culture fit… then swinging the other way and hiring people he liked without checking if they actually had the skills. Spoiler: Neither approach worked. On top of that, he's been guilty of stubbornly keeping people too long, thinking he could “fix” them. However, he's now confident that owners can usually know on Day 1 if they made the wrong hire. Week 1 if you're generous. People usually start with their best foot forward, so if that's shaky, it's a red flag. The real game-changer was learning to trust his gut early and cut things off quickly—for everyone's sake. Hiring Friends? Set Very Clear Expectations Should you hire friends or family? Most agency owners will say no—and Collin would've agreed… until one friend hire actually worked out. There were many factors that contributed to this, including expectations, where the agency is at, and the person's character. The first time he hired his best friend, it was a disaster. The second time, it was a former mentee who had already sold his own agency, knew the ropes, and was a perfect culture fit. They were open, direct, and mutually respectful—and it worked. The lesson? If you do go down the friend/family road, set clear expectations, give both parties an exit ramp, and value the friendship above the business if things go sideways. The Secret to Real Growth: Do Less of What You Hate According to Collin, delegation and self-awareness are the great drivers of his agency's success. He focused on hiring people to do the things he was either bad at or dreaded doing—even if he was good at them, because chances are someone else loves the stuff you hate doing. That mindset shift allowed Collin to get laser-focused on what he does best—sales, marketing, and solving complex “math problems” for e-commerce clients. Now he wakes up looking forward to work instead of dreading it. When a Big Client Bails, Your Margins Matter More Than Ever Recently, Collin's agency lost its biggest client temporarily due to the pressures of the new tariffs. Instead of panic, his response was grounded and strategic. He's built his agency to survive losses like this and encourages agency owners to do the same, by thinking about pricing, hiring, and not sabotaging your own sales engine. Thanks to this mindset, the agency had healthy profit margins baked in. If losing one client sends you into a tailspin, you're probably not charging enough. You need to build your business in a way that you can survive losses without cutting down. That's not just about pricing—it's about operating with margin as a mindset. One of the biggest mistakes agency owners make is hitting pause on sales because things feel good. Collin's advice is to always be selling. And if capacity is tight, don't pause—raise your prices. Pro tip: Implement a sliding scale strategy. Every few clients, bump your pricing and track retention. You might find that you're working less for more. Want to Grow Fast? Hire Ahead of the Demand Let's talk about one of the hardest lessons agency owners learn: hiring too late. Collin admitted he brought on clients he couldn't serve well—and paid the price in churn and stress. This year, he's trying a different strategy by hiring ahead of the demand. And not just anyone—hire senior people. Yes, it's a luxury. But it's also how you buy back your time and protect your client relationships. Junior hires sound good on paper—cheap, trainable, full of potential. But they require time and energy you may not have. As Collin explains, the real value of a senior hire is autonomy because they can own it from day one. ”At the end of the day, if you don't build margin into your agency, one bad month can wipe you out.” Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

This week, the guys are as close as they've been in a long while! And while maybe they're close in a relationship sense, we're talking literal, physical closeness! Evan has officially moved to Indiana, and that means more moving stories and topics to discuss. For example, Facebook Marketplace has been like the Wild West, and there are some frustrating tales to tell. Evan also has some tips about getting new internet, and maybe some cautionary tales of being TOO nice to customer service workers. Josh has his own examples of that, but maybe it just means they're loyal. And as always, there are Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and This Day in Hear-story tidbits mixed in!

You've read his work (or you should); this awesome guy has been pumping out informative weekly history columns (and now YouTube videos) for close to a decade. His name is Han Cheung (learn how to pronounce that by listening to this interview), and he went from being one of the only Asian-Americans in a small town in Wyoming - where he wrote for a local newspaper about the history of that state's Wild West era - to returning to his parents' adopted home of Taiwan to write "Taiwan in Time." It's been quite a journey for Han, and in this interview, we talk about everything from history to "slow death metal" with half-Cantonese lyrics. Enjoy! PS: Sorry for the delay in release. Eryk caught some covid-adjacent flu and was unable to move. Gratefully, Eryk is feeling better, but Eryk is still referring to himself in the third person, which history shows isn't such a good idea.

We haven't spoken since John's dog ate the afikoman, and we discuss his Omer success and Asher's Omer challenges. In the meantime, Asher continues his amazing world travels, this time to Kurdistan on an interfaith mission with his Chaldean friends. We discuss that region's deep connection to Jewish history, including minor prophets like Nachum (John had to Google him). We then discuss Trump's anti-antisemitism efforts, and our gratitude that adults are finally in the room on college campuses. Asher ends by describing the Wild West way in which new Jewish holidays are established.

When Jason Titman took the helm of Swyftx in 2019, he saw a crypto industry riddled with complexity—and a glaring gap: Where was the customer-first mindset? His answer? An exchange that treats Web3 like any trusted service, not a Wild West gamble.Jason and I sit down for a conversation as he breaks down the Swyftx difference, and why culture—not just code—is their competitive edge. We also discussed how they're rewriting crypto's risky reputation, with security as a selling point, the societal shift ahead… and why Australia shouldn't just watch, but lead.The bottom line? Swyftx isn't just trading digital assets—it's building the infrastructure for financial freedom. And for Jason, that starts with one radical idea: Trust shouldn't be revolutionary.You can subscribe to the Mentored newsletter here: https://mentored.com.au/newsletter-sign-upJoin the Facebook Group.Follow Mark Bouris on Instagram, LinkedIn & YouTube.

As a young entrepreneur in the Wild West days of the internet, Alex Tew was drawn to meditation for its simple calming power. Together with fellow tech founder Michael Acton Smith–known for hits like Moshi Monsters–the two brainstormed ways to bring the ancient practice of meditation into the 21st century. In 2011, they bought the domain calm.com, built an app, and started producing meditations and Sleep Stories, narrated by celebrities like Matthew McConaughey and Idris Elba. Despite initial pushback from investors who insisted no one would want to meditate on their phone–let alone pay for it– the Calm app grew to a valuation of nearly $2 billion, with 180 million total downloads.
