    Maduro Arrested in Venezuela

    The United States' decision to seize Nicolás Maduro and bring him to New York marks one of the most dramatic assertions of American power in the Western Hemisphere in decades. In this episode, I focused on what actually happened, why it happened now, and what it signals about how the Trump administration views regime change, legality, and leverage.The facts, as we know them, are stark. In a rapid operation lasting roughly two and a half hours, U.S. forces assisted federal authorities in arresting Maduro and removing him from Caracas. He now faces sweeping federal charges, including narco-terrorism conspiracy and large-scale cocaine trafficking tied to terrorist organizations and major cartels. The indictment is notable not just for its scope, but for what it omits. There is no fentanyl count. This reinforces what many analysts suspected: the recent pressure campaign against Venezuela, including interdictions at sea, was less about opioids and more about systematically strangling Maduro's remaining sources of revenue until something broke.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.What broke appears to be internal loyalty. It is difficult to believe a head of state with military protection is removed this quickly without acquiescence from inside the regime. That reality shapes everything that comes next. Rather than immediately installing an opposition leader, the administration has left much of the existing government in place while asserting overwhelming control over money flows, shipping, and oil exports. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been careful to say the United States is not “running” Venezuela, while also making clear that the people still in charge have no meaningful freedom to act. This is not Iraq or Afghanistan. It more closely resembles Panama and the Noriega arrest: criminal charges paired with brute leverage, not nation building through occupation.The unanswered question is whether this produces reform or simply swaps one strongman arrangement for another. Venezuela remains a petrostate with enormous reserves, crumbling infrastructure, and a population exhausted by corruption and repression. Removing Maduro may be morally satisfying and strategically defensible, but history offers little comfort about what follows. This is a high-risk bet that coercion can force democratic outcomes without igniting prolonged instability. Whether that gamble pays off, or whether it opens the door to a different kind of failure, is the story that now begins.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:04:16 - Maduro's Arrest00:11:51 - Marco Rubio00:54:28 - Everyone Else01:10:08 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

    Step into Episode 193 of On the Delo as DELO pivots into a solo cast after a scheduled guest cancels 15 minutes before recording—because in the restaurant business, chaos is part of the job and the show still goes on. DELO uses the moment to spotlight a mission that matters: building a healthier hospitality industry through real-world wellness support, not more empty “grind” advice.In this episode, DELO shares why he's been 11.5+ years without alcohol, how his fitness approach has simplified over time, and why prevention (bloodwork, doctors, movement, recovery) is the real “maintenance plan” for long-term performance. He also breaks down Healing Hospitality, a 501(c)(3) community created to support hospitality workers through events like sound baths, breathwork, cold plunges, hikes, Qigong, and more—plus ways the broader industry can partner, donate, and help scale the impact.Chapter Guide (Timestamps):(0:16 - 2:34) Last-minute guest cancel → DELO's solo pivot + why hospitality needs wellness conversations.(2:35 - 3:19) Built Different Community update with Jeremy Scott and what's inside the programs.(3:20 - 5:02) 11.5+ years without alcohol: The decision, the lifestyle shift, and why it changed everything.(5:03 - 6:58) Hospitality “party culture,” early career hustle, and how burnout sneaks in.(6:59 - 7:40) Preventative maintenance: Doctors, blood tests, movement, and simplifying priorities with age.(7:41 - 9:31) Supporting restaurants without falling off track: Food choices, consistency, and staying accountable.(9:32 - 11:01) Stress, anxiety, and asking the key question: “What's the opposite of that?”(11:02 - 13:36) Healing Hospitality (501c3): What it is, events hosted, and community partners mentioned.(13:37 - 16:40) Why healthier employees mean better business: culture, retention, and the human side of service.(16:41 - 19:07) Connecting wellness to insurance realities: health insurance and workers' comp implications.(19:08 - 21:29) Culture alternatives: replacing the default “after-shift drink” with healthier shared outlets.(21:30 - 23:53) The challenge: show up to an event—especially a sound bath—and feel the reset firsthand.(23:54 - 26:16) How to support: donations, brand partnerships, and “Healing Hospitality tents” at events.(26:17 - 27:43) Wrap: share the mission, leave a 5-star review, and help get the word out.

    What does the future of bookkeeping actually look like when AI gets practical? Sabby Gill (CEO of Dext) breaks down what's changing, what won't, and how bookkeepers stay indispensable. You'll hear how a SaaS CEO thinks about time-saving automation, why “customer voice” should shape your roadmap (even in a practice), and why the human relationship side of bookkeeping becomes more valuable as systems get smarter. - Learn why Sabby speaks to 2–3 customers every day (and why he won't “pre-prep” the calls). - Use the “why + benefit + ROI” script to communicate change without losing clients. - Understand why employees come first (and how that protects customers). - Steal a leadership routine: town halls, skip-levels, surveys, and CEO onboarding 1:1s. - See what Dext is building next: AI that learns your edits, plus payments and more. - Reframe the real endgame: automation → advisory → better client outcomes. Learn what AI and Automation mean for the future of Bookkeeping with Dext's free guide: https://info.dext.com/ai-and-the-future-of-accounting-report?UTM_Source=6fb This conversation is for bookkeepers and accountants who feel the industry is in constant change (AI, HMRC updates, new processes) and want a clearer way to communicate value, without burning out.

    The commercial real estate recovery everyone expected in 2025 did not arrive. Instead, investors are being forced to rethink risk, cash flow, and capital allocation heading into 2026.   In this episode of the Espace Montreal Podcast, Axel Monsaingeon speaks with Marie-Claire Laflamme-Sanders, Senior Vice President and Practice Lead within Avison Young's Québec Capital Markets Team, about why net lease real estate has become one of the most resilient investment strategies in today's uncertain market. Drawing on insights from the Toronto Real Estate Forum and active transactions across Canada, Marie-Claire explains how investors are pricing stability, why single-tenant assets are back in favor, and how net leases function as a hybrid between real estate and corporate bonds.   The conversation also covers the return of interest in office real estate, the rise of sale-leaseback transactions as companies unlock capital, and why Montreal continues to attract both private and institutional investors despite ongoing political and economic headwinds. This episode offers a grounded, real-world look at how sophisticated investors are protecting cash flow and positioning portfolios for the next phase of the cycle.   Topics & Timestamps

    Part 5 is where the conversation stops being theoretical and gets brutally practical. The group circles back to a key question: if a card is reholdered years later, can a grading company responsibly “honor” the old grade when the card may have changed inside the slab. Sunlight, shifting, cracks, handling, even subtle edge impressions can all alter the card after encapsulation. The windowsill example becomes the perfect shorthand: you cannot blindly stamp the old number without confirming the card is still the same. From there, the show pivots into the eye appeal debate. A chat comment calls I appeal stickers a joke, and the response flips the argument: the sticker is just a physical way of saying what collectors already say every day, strong for the grade, weak for the grade, or average. The deeper issue is that grading compresses endless nuance into a limited scale, and the sticker market exists because grading is inconsistent and the scale is restrictive. Then the segment gets fun. Josh leans into his Purist identity, shows a beautifully ugly off centered vintage card, and the panel celebrates the whole idea of “honest cards” and how vintage should look like it lived a life. That naturally leads into a scorching vintage hot take about high grade 1952 Topps cards and what people are really chasing. Finally, the show lands the plane with a blunt truth: the hobby is a business, there will always be bad actors, and nobody is quitting. The best protection is education, risk awareness, and knowing what you personally can tolerate. Highlights in Part 5 include: Reholder without regrade: why “honor the grade” falls apart in the real world The windowsill problem: the card may not be the same card anymore Why eye appeal stickers exist: not because cards have only 19 conditions Strong for the grade vs weak for the grade, and why a sticker triggers people Beckett's scale, subgrades, and why nuance still gets flattened in the end Josh calls grading “silly” and compares the hobby to a cult The real “win”: low grade cards with high eye appeal at a fraction of the cost Collecting miscuts, off center cards, and why charm beats perfection The emotional attachment angle: why we keep “our” copy, even if it isn't perfect The hot take: skepticism around “natural” high grade vintage, especially 1952 Topps “Honest corners” and uniform wear as a collecting preference The closing message: this is a business, bad actors exist, education reduces regret Wrap-up plugs: Fanatics Collect watch party, upcoming Saturday show, Hobby Spectrum waitlist Learn more about your ad choices.

    Topics discussed, by month:JanuaryThe year opened with Donald Trump's second inauguration and a rapid slate of executive actions, including a controversial move that effectively kept TikTok alive after a brief shutdown. The ceremony highlighted a conspicuous alliance between Trump and major tech figures — framed as an early signal of an AI-driven, business-friendly Trump 2.0 — alongside cultural flashpoints like Elon Musk's gesture that sparked online backlash.FebruaryTrump reintroduced tariffs on Canada and Mexico, triggering market volatility and a sense that the second administration would closely resemble the first. The episode became a turning point for media and political observers, who noted both reduced hysteria compared to 2017 and a more subdued press landscape shaped by declining ratings, clicks, and subscriber growth.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.MarchA historic blizzard paralyzed much of the American South, hitting northern Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and especially the Dallas–Fort Worth area, where hundreds of thousands lost power. The storm stood out as a rare reminder of infrastructure vulnerability in regions unaccustomed to severe winter weather.April“Liberation Day” marked Trump's sweeping tariff announcement, forcing long-time free-trade conservatives to publicly accept policies they once opposed as markets reacted sharply. The moment crystallized tensions within the GOP coalition, highlighted generational backlash from Gen Z voters, and underscored growing anxiety about the economy, inflation, and job security.MayTrump announced a major economic deal with Qatar, bringing Middle East politics and foreign influence — particularly within right-wing media — into sharper focus. The deal coincided with intensifying divisions inside conservative circles over Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the broader regional conflict, exposing deep fractures within the MAGA-aligned media ecosystem.JuneThe U.S. carried out targeted airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities in one of the year's strangest and most anticlimactic geopolitical moments. Despite intense speculation and internal right-wing conflict over the prospect of war, the strikes produced no immediate escalation, quickly fading from public attention after briefly dominating political discourse.JulyCatastrophic flooding in Texas over the July 4th holiday killed at least 135 people, with the destruction of a girls' summer camp becoming a focal point for grief and anger. The discussion centered on loss of life, questions about building in known flood zones, and the emotional toll of reporting on tragedy.AugustA surprise U.S.–Russia summit in Alaska brought Vladimir Putin to American soil for the first time in years, framed as a tentative step toward ending the war in Ukraine. SeptemberThe assassination of Charlie Kirk at a Turning Point USA event in Utah dominated the conversation as the defining story of the year. The killing reshaped right-wing media, hardened attitudes around speech and retaliation, exposed moral failures in online discourse, and accelerated the rise of figures like Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes amid what is described as a profound loss of cohesion on the right.OctoberThe longest government shutdown in U.S. history paralyzed Washington and revealed how little clarity even insiders had about its endgame. While it failed to specifically earn the Democrats what they publicly said they wanted, the shutdown ultimately functioned as a political weapon, energizing Democrats in off-year elections while deepening public cynicism about governance and leverage politics.NovemberDemocratic overperformance in off-year elections, including Virginia and New Jersey, reframed the shutdown as a tactical success rather than a policy-driven fight. That momentum quickly curdled into skepticism, with voters sensing a power grab and turning on Democrats once the immediate political payoff was achieved.DecemberThe Trump administration's pardon of former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández — convicted of facilitating large-scale cocaine trafficking — sparked debate over executive power, corruption, and contradictions in U.S. anti-narcotics policy. The month closed with a broader reflection on “state of exception” politics, where violence and extralegal force are justified as necessary to restore order, a theme tied back to both Trump's actions and the year's broader political unrest.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:01:21 - January00:11:10 - February00:15:47 - March00:18:38 - April00:25:41 - May00:31:54 - June00:37:08 - July00:47:04 - August00:52:22 - September01:27:14 - October01:30:03 - November01:34:48 - December01:44:15 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

    "Don't confuse sacrifice and discipline with suffering." Ryan Clark Where did the time go? 2025 is wrapping up as we get ready to embrace the new endeavors, challenges and our biggest pivots that lie ahead in 2026! Ryan, Channing and Fred close out the year reflecting on the past 12 months of sports' biggest stories, headlines that dominated our feeds and personal milestones we embraced. We take account of our own self growth, missteps and ways we want to be better going forward knowing that perfection is an illusion, discipline and sacrifice are required for success and we take deep dive into the chaotic sports world. FBI takes on sports gambling, Luka trade to Dallas, Micah Parsons to Green Bay, Kansas City misses post season, Travis Kelce, Shedeur Sanders frenzy and the fall of Sean Diddy Combs...2025 had it's share of the unexpected and we discuss the impact of it all while the guys keep it real on the current state of the NFL. Channing says how the AFC North isn't what it used to be, Ryan says DK Metcalf incident could cost the Steelers their season and Fred weighs in on the possible end of the Chiefs dynasty. Pivoting to family, we talk about the vulnerable sides of parenting, from walking the line between wanting the best for our kids to pushing them too hard and how in the end happiness is the only true measure of how it turns out. Avoiding to set goals isn't always a bad thing while giving ourselves grace to make mistakes is how we've learned best. We also have a little fun talking about some viral fun scenarios and how we would respond to a wife's last wishes of a "casket pass". Pivot Family thank you for all the support, all the comments, the likes and follows- being on this journey with us means the world and we look forward to bringing more impactful conversations, stories and authentic content in 2026- Happy New Year, may it be filled with good health, family, memories and happiness.
