On this episode of CoinDesk's Public Keys from the New York Stock Exchange, Jennifer Sanasie is joined by Ben Emons, Founder and Chief Investment Officer of FedWatch Advisors, to break down the market fallout from Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 and why the Fed is now actively debating rate hikes rather than cuts ahead of the August 7th CLARITY Act deadline. Nadine Chakar, Managing Director and Global Head of Digital Assets at DTCC, explains how the firm moved tokenized securities into live production and outlines DTCC's role as an institutional multi-chain orchestrator ahead of a full commercial launch. The conversation turns to ETF flows, where Bitcoin funds finished last week with $76 million in net inflows despite a $425 million outflow on Monday alone, and Ethereum ETFs outpaced Bitcoin inflows led by $135 million into BlackRock's ETHA. Finally, Bilal Little, Global ETF Strategist at Direxion, unpacks the debut of BTCU and EVMU — the industry's first 2x leveraged spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs — explains why an ETF wrapper beats margin on a crypto exchange for retail traders, and responds to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas's thesis that Bitcoin ETFs will mirror gold's 22-year "triumph and pain" trajectory.

Millions of Americans live with essential tremor — a condition that quietly reshapes everything fromhandwriting to confidence, yet rarely gets the spotlight it deserves. This hour, Dr. Adam Brockman breaks down what essential tremor really is (and how it differs from Parkinson's), then sits down with Maria Watson, a self-taught health advocate whose thirty-five year journey through personal loss led her to a surprising discovery: a clean path into ketosis that calms her tremor in as little as forty minutes. From measurable metabolic science to a deeply human story of turning grief into purpose, this is a conversation about what's possible when you refuse to stop paying attention to your own body.
As America celebrates its 250th year, Lauren takes a look back at a classic episode of the Lighthouse Faith podcast with prolific author and pastor, Robert J. Morgan. In 2020, Pastor Morgan published the timeless book, 100 Bible Verses That Made America, which serves as a powerful reminder that the Bible is woven in and through America's conception, birth, and journey. The history spans centuries, starting in the 1500s with the arrival of Spanish missionaries to the New World. Among them was Antonio de Montesinos, who boldly quoted Matthew 3:3 to those treating native inhabitants cruelly, asserting that they, too, were made in God's image. Pastor Morgan also reminds us in the prologue that America's first president, George Washington, kissed the sacred Scriptures at his inauguration. Between these two monumental moments are 98 more defining chapters in American history where the Bible was invoked as a source of strength, compassion, mercy, and light.

Five years ago, everything changed in an instant. In June 2020, Kiran Chawla was fired from a television station. Instead of searching for another traditional job, she made a different choice: build something new — something completely unfiltered. What started as late-night investigations shared on social media and YouTube quickly grew into something bigger.On June 9, 2021, Kiran officially launched Unfiltered With Kiran. In this special anniversary episode, Kiran takes you inside the real story of those early days. Where she handled every part of the operation herself — reporting, writing, editing, legal work, and logistics —slowly turning a passion project into a legitimate media company.You'll hear how Unfiltered grew from those scrappy beginnings into what it is today: a full app, a podcast, a new website, and a growing team. Kiran also reflects on the major stories that shaped the company — covering hurricanes and relief efforts, breaking news in real time, and pursuing investigations that others wouldn't touch. This isn't just a recap of five years in business. It's a story about resilience, reinvention, and what happens when you decide to bet on yourself after everything falls apart.Timestamps07:50 Finding Breathing Room12:40 Building a New Future16:24 Cookies Become a Business20:20 Doors Finally Open29:41 Growing the Company35:51 Rising After Failure'40:49 National Award Surprise45:40 Faith and Fear49:39 Bet on YourselfLocal Sponsors for this episode include:Neighbors Federal Credit Union:Another Chance Bail Bonds:Family Worship Center ChurchTwin Team Realty If you are looking to buy or sell your home, look no further!

SummaryIn this inspiring interview, Hannah shares her journey through injury, pain, and recovery, highlighting the importance of understanding the nervous system and mental resilience in overcoming physical setbacks. Discover how she transformed her approach to pain and regained control over her body and life.TakeawaysChronic pain often stems from nervous system dysregulation rather than just physical damage.Emotional and psychological factors play a crucial role in managing physical recovery.Self-perception significantly influences physical outcomes and recovery.Recovery is non-linear and requires patience and self-compassion.Lifestyle habits, including stress management and sleep, impact pain management.The belief of being "injury-prone" can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.Understanding the mind-body connection empowers individuals to manage pain better.Pain does not always indicate structural damage; it can be a protective response.Gradual exposure and resilience-building are key to overcoming fear of injury.Consistent reassurance and validation are essential in the recovery journey.Connect with Us:If you're an injured runner we can help you get back to running pain-free.Book a free call with us:https://matthewboydphysio.com/booking/Running Fundamentals Course:https://matthewboydphysio.com/running-fundamentals-course/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/matthewboydphysio/

When I sat down with Casimir Sienkiewicz (CAZ) from CazTek, I immediately connected with his story because it reminded me so much of the journeys so many shop owners go through. What started with a Bridgeport mill in a garage has evolved over the last 22 years into a growing engineering and precision machining company tackling everything from advanced prototypes to 5-axis machining, Swiss work, automation assemblies, and aerospace and medical projects. But what really stood out to me wasn't just the equipment or the growth. It was Casimir's mindset around creativity, problem-solving, and continuously evolving as a business owner. One of the themes throughout this conversation is how closely personal growth and business growth are tied together. Casimir talked openly about the realization that he had to stop trying to personally carry every responsibility inside the company if he wanted the business to scale. Like many entrepreneurs, he built the company through grit, technical skill, and sheer determination. But eventually, that approach created bottlenecks. Bringing in strong leaders, defining core values, implementing systems, and learning to trust his team became the next phase of growth for both him and the company. We also spent a lot of time talking about the intersection of engineering and manufacturing. CazTek isn't just a machine shop. Their team works through the entire product development lifecycle, from early concepts and mechanical engineering all the way through machining, assembly, testing, and production. That end-to-end visibility gives their employees a unique sense of purpose because they get to see how the products they design and manufacture actually impact the world, whether it's medical devices, aerospace hardware, or industrial systems. This episode is packed with lessons around scaling a manufacturing business, building the right culture, implementing systems like EOS, adopting new technology, and creating an organization that can grow sustainably. Casimir brings a thoughtful and honest perspective to the conversation, and I think listeners will really relate to the challenges, mistakes, and breakthroughs he shares along the way.

Ep. 206 - Kimberly sits down with multi-time tech entrepreneur André Swanston on the historic launch day of his groundbreaking cloud gaming platform, PHYND. Fresh off a massive nine-figure exit from his previous venture, True Optik, André is on a mission to completely democratize how we play video games on the big screen.

In this episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast, host Jennifer Alger sits down with Bob Kloes and Matt Schmitz of Kloes Specialty Hardwoods, a Wisconsin-based business specializing in curly maple, bird's eye maple, flame birch, and other figured hardwoods. What started as Bob's lifelong passion for custom furniture evolved into a lumber business when his wife suggested he start selling the stunning figured woods he had been sourcing for decades. Now, with Matt at the helm after purchasing the business, the two share a partnership built on mentorship, shared passion, and an unwavering commitment to quality. You'll hear about how Bob built relationships with sawmills over 20 years and developed an expert eye for selecting figured wood in the rough. You'll hear about the process of buying green lumber, working with a neighboring vacuum kiln operation, and sorting material by species, figure density, and customer specs for everyone from furniture makers to guitar builders and pool cue craftsmen. Bob and Matt also get honest about the challenges of marketing a niche product, navigating social media algorithms, and the real cost of shipping in today's market. You'll also hear about Matt's journey from federal government career to business owner, how a summer sales slump nearly broke his confidence, and why having a built-in mentor made all the difference. Bob shares stories from his furniture-making days, including secret compartments, his "high country style" designs, and why he believes in over-delivering on every order. The conversation also touches on the declining availability of bird's eye maple, the puzzling drop in cherry prices, and the broader challenges facing the domestic hardwood industry.

What does it take to finish a record that's been living in your head for two decades?In Episode 284, Jim Exon traces the long arc of Nashville Sessions — a country-leaning album shaped by time, persistence, and a deep bench of collaborators, including Jeff Silbar, Ron Wallace, and lyrics by Gay Hendricks. Alongside Martin Young, Exon brings a distinctly Ojai-rooted project into authentic Nashville form.Before the studio, there was the road — years managing and representing Maynard Ferguson — and before that, the Sunset Strip grind as a working musician. We talk about how the music business has changed, what collaborators really contribute, and the rare discipline it takes to finally finish what you started. We did not talk about Canary Islands' whistle language, Ernest Shackleton or the impact of Charlemagne's missi domenici. A conversation about craft, time, and getting it done.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Lynn Hellerstein speaks with Glenn Sturm, bestselling author, astrophotographer, and 18 years on chemo and counting. Guided by values like “Sturms never quit,” Glenn shares how he pursues passion, spreads positivity, and refuses to let cancer define his life. He highlights the impact of a multidisciplinary cancer care team where specialists collaborate and patients are part of the decision-making. This approach can significantly reduce mortality and improve quality of life compared to solo care. From managing cancer fatigue to using simple remedies like ginger for nausea, Glenn shares practical ways to navigate treatment. Originally given 2.5 years to live, he's now looking at 30—crediting team-based care and self-advocacy. Despite its benefits, multidisciplinary care faces barriers like insurance and provider resistance particularly in the United States. While it's typical to find palliative care team and tumor boards in hospitals, it is more challenging to find a true multidisciplinary cancer care team. Glenn's mission is to raise awareness and encourage patients to seek better, more collaborative care through his books Warrior Hate War, Cancer Set Me Free and his upcoming work More Than Hope. Dr. Lynn Hellerstein, Developmental Optometrist, co-owner of Hellerstein & Brenner Vision Center, P.C., award-winning author and international speaker, holds powerful and inspiring conversations with her guests in the areas of health, wellness, education, sports and psychology. They share their inspirational stories of healing and transformation through their vision expansion. Vision Beyond Sight Podcast will help you see with clarity, gain courage and confidence.

#226 - You think you want to live abroad until you're standing in a Shanghai apartment you barely recognize, sleeping on a mattress that feels like concrete, and realizing you can't read a single sign outside your window. Jeff Lewis did exactly that, on a timeline so fast he had to get a same day passport and a same day visa just to make it happen. What started as a recession driven job scramble became four years of international teaching, culture shock, and the kind of growth you only get when your normal tools don't work anymore.We talk through the full arc of expat life in China: arriving alone while his wife waits on paperwork, learning the unwritten rules of traffic and daily errands, and figuring out how a newly married couple stays connected when everything around them is unfamiliar. Jeff shares what people romanticize about living abroad and what they leave out, from language barriers and “bad China days” to the strange comfort of tracking down a mediocre hamburger because it tastes like home. He also explains how travel around China worked before smartphones, and how those weekend adventures helped them stay sane and stay close.Then the story gets even bigger: they move to a better international school, build community, and have their two oldest kids in China. Jeff gets honest about parenting abroad, hospital decisions, transportation challenges, and how cultural differences can complicate even basic support systems. We close with what he brings home to the United States as a social studies teacher, including a stronger world view and a deeper belief in second language learning for his own kids.If you like stories about China, international schools, moving overseas, and the real psychology of stepping into the unknown, hit play.

We went through 3 IUI's and 2 IVF's, over a 3 year journey trying to get pregnant, then finally - we had our baby girl.

In 2026, USA Hockey accomplished something no other nation has ever done, winning Olympic gold medals for Mens, Women's and Paralympic Ice Hockey. Yet this was not something that happened overnight, and in fact was the culmination of nearly two decades of growing the game and modifying rules and game formats in order to develop more skillful players and a much larger player base to choose from. And who better to discuss this journey than one of its architects, Ken Martel. Ken Martel was named senior director of player and coach development in November 2022. He is charged with helping provide a framework for associations nationwide to follow for optimal athlete development. From 2009-22 Martel served as the technical director of USA Hockey's American Development Model after spending two years (2006-08) at USA Hockey's national office in Colorado Springs, Colo., working on coaching education and player development initiatives. For his efforts using science to advance sport, Martel received the USOC "Doc" Councilman Award for Ice Hockey in 2004. Prior to arriving in Colorado Springs, Martel was a part of USA Hockey's National Team Development Program staff as an assistant coach for eight years (1998-2006), including a dual role with responsibilities for player personnel his final five seasons. Martel has made appearances behind the bench of nine U.S. teams that have competed in International Ice Hockey Federation World Championships, including four times with the U.S. National Under-18 Team (2000-04), four times with the U.S. National Junior Team (2004, 2006, 2008-09) and once with the U.S. Women's National Team (2007). He has been part of two gold medal-winning teams, including the first-ever U.S. gold medals in the IIHF Men's World Under-18 Championship (2002) and the IIHF World Junior Championship (2004). Among his additional coaching stops, Martel served one season (1997-98) as an assistant coach for the men's ice hockey program at the U.S. Air Force Academy and seven seasons (1990-97) as an assistant men's ice hockey coach at Michigan Tech University. He also spent one year (1990-91) as a graduate assistant for the men's ice hockey program at St. Cloud State University. A four-year (1985-89) letter-winner as a defenseman at Lake Superior State University, Martel helped the Lakers to the school's first-ever NCAA national title in 1988.

Elana Meyers Taylor became the oldest-ever winner of an individual Winter Olympic gold medal when she won the women's monobob event in Milan-Cortina, aged 41.

Her eldest son, Nico, also has Down syndrome.In an in-depth interview with More than the Score's Lee James, Elana discusses her 20-year journey to Olympic gold, and why it's taken a whole team of people to get there – including receiving invaluable support from the deaf and Down syndrome community.
