MS Beyond the City: Living With MS in Rural and Underserved Communities – Episode 195 Living with multiple sclerosis is shaped not only by the disease, but by where you live. In this episode, we explore what “rural” and “underserved” truly mean in real life for people with MS. Moving beyond ZIP codes and statistics, the conversation centers on lived experience: long drives to care, delayed diagnoses, limited access to specialists, and the quiet emotional weight many carry.

Putnam has highest rate in state A surge in flu cases has propelled New York State to a one-week record and sent infections and hospitalizations in Dutchess and Putnam counties to their highest levels in at least two years. Cases reported by testing labs and hospitals reached 71,123 statewide for the week ending Dec. 20, the most recent data available, raising the tally of the achy and the sniffling by 38 percent over the previous seven days and the most in one week since New York made flu cases reportable in 2004. According to James McDonald, the state's health commissioner, hospitalized patients rose over the previous week by 63 percent to 3,666 - 36 percent of them 75 and older and 18 percent between 65 and 74. Hospitals and nursing homes in New York have also been experiencing outbreaks this flu season, which annually runs from October to May. More cases are being reported due to heightened testing, McDonald said in a statement, "but this record number underscores that this season is impacting more people than in other recent years." His department's data shows that 24 percent of state residents, including 22 percent in Dutchess and 24 percent in Putnam, have received a flu vaccine. "There are simple steps New Yorkers can take to protect themselves and those around them, including getting vaccinated, staying home when sick and practicing everyday preventive measures," he said. Rian Rodriguez, Putnam's public health director, offered the same advice. He said on Dec. 24 that Putnam's rate of 918 flu cases per 100,000 residents topped the state and was 61 percent higher than Nassau County on Long Island. Both the 903 flu cases in Putnam and the 1,276 reported in Dutchess (nearly three times higher than the previous week) for the week ending Dec. 20 were the highest seven-day totals since at least October 2023, according to state data. Both counties also have more hospitalizations this flu season - 13 in Putnam and 98 in Dutchess - than at the same points in 2023 and 2024. Hospitalizations increased from 31 to 47 in Dutchess and from one to nine in Putnam over the previous week. A county-produced heat map (putnamcountyny.gov/respdash) based on ZIP code data shows Carmel with the highest rate in Putnam for the week ending Dec. 20, with the rate in 10524 (Garrison/Philipstown) higher than in 10516 (Cold Spring/Philipstown). Children are the most vulnerable to the flu, followed by older adults, Rodriguez said. Pregnant women and people with chronic medical conditions such as heart or lung disease, asthma and diabetes are also at risk of serious complications. In addition, cases from Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and COVID-19 are rising, although their numbers are dwarfed by the flu. Statewide, there were 4,904 reported cases of RSV for the week ending Dec. 20, an increase of 25 percent from the previous week. The number of people with COVID rose 3 percent, to 4,255. On Dec. 26, the most recent reporting day, the state health department reported two positive COVID tests in Dutchess and five in Putnam.

A few months ago one of my friends called me desperate for advice. For years he had a top-rated website for his brand, key words, and all his great content. Google and other search engines sent him hundreds of targeted leads for his products and services. Every day!Then it ended. Poof, his traffic was gone. Well, there was still a trickle but, for the most part, he had no real traffic.His traffic was decimated. Gone. Kaput. Nada. Zip. Zilch.But why?Because Google, Bing, and even Duck Duck Go decided to keep that search traffic for themselves.At first, the search engines made their AI searches optional, but it wasn't long before they decided that they could make more money running ads on their own AI-generated search results pages.Google, Bing, and Duck Duck Go are allowing AI answers to take over their searches. And now the PerplexityAI Comet and OpenAI Atlas browsers will take over any remaining searches. And, that's without the 50% of search traffic that has already been taken over by ChatGPT, ClaudeAI, and other chatbots — all offering such friendly and competent answers to user questions.Do you realize that in less than six months your website visibility will go to zero?The days of search engines being your lifeline to visibility well end. By April. April 2026. So long. Good-bye!Many websites have already experienced a 70 to 80% drop-off in traffic. Now. Not in four months. But today.AI adoption is exploding. According to one person, 105 million adults will use generative AI this year. That is such a low, low estimate it's almost not worth noticing. The truth is that everyone will be using AI for search in the coming years. Everyone.

It takes a village to raise an Olympic hopeful. And sometimes, that village has to change ZIP codes. Brooklyn DePriest is a snowboarder for Team USA, hoping to make his Olympic debut at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Games. He competes in slopestyle. Brooklyn grew up in Northern California in a Sacramento-area suburb called Rocklin. The DePriests spent their winter weekends in Tahoe. Brooklyn's snowboarding talent quickly became apparent as competitions would result in him standing on podiums. By the time he was 12, his parents were advised that their son had the potential to go pro and maybe even go to the Olympics. The catch? He'd need to move for more specialized coaching. The problem? The entire DePriest family loved their home and neighborhood in Rocklin. "There were probably about 10 families involved in the neighborhood," Brooklyn DePreist said. We would ride to school on our bikes and skateboards every single day. We all played the same sport, so we were on the same sports teams." Neither of Brooklyn's parents came from a winter sports background. "The coaches are telling us, like, he has real talent, but we're like, does he? I don't know," Courtney DePriest, Brooklyn's mom, said. The DePriests made the tough decision to relocate to Vail, Colorado, where both their sons could attend a good school while Brooklyn pursued his Olympic goals. Seven years later, Brooklyn DePriest is a contender to compete at the 2026 Winter Olympics. This is one of the most candid conversations I've ever had with an athlete's parents about the sacrifice entire families make to follow Olympic dreams. On this Dying to Ask: The Road to Milan-Cortina: How the DePriests made the call to go all-in on Brooklyn's snowboarding future when he was only 12 The pressure young athletes feel to perform when their parents sacrifice so much How Olympic hopefuls handle the mental health challenges of injuries Learn tricks to calm your brain while your body is healing And did they or didn't they? The DePriests reveal whether they purchased Olympic tickets before knowing whether or not their kid has made the team     Other places to listen CLICK HERE to listen on iTunes CLICK HERE to listen on Stitcher CLICK HERE to listen on Spotify See more coverage of top California stories here | Download our app | Subscribe to our morning newsletter | Find us on YouTube here and subscribe to our channel

Frank Schaeffer talks with Tufts University Catholic Chaplain Lynn A. Cooper, author of Embracing Our Time: The Sacrament of Interfaith Friendship, about building real connection across difference in an era of polarization and loneliness. They explore the Interfaith Student Council model, how trauma reshapes a life, the pressure-cooker reality of campus faith after Hamas' attack and amid Christian nationalism, and why “deprivatizing friendship” might be one of the most radical moves left. _____LINKSLynn created and directs Be-Friend: The Interfaith Friendship Program at Tufts University.

Philip Taubman is a longtime journalist and former New York Times Washington bureau chief and associate editor. Together, they've gone back through diaries, letters, declassified documents, and interviews that were never fully used before. What they found is a more complicated and more troubling picture of Robert McNamara than we've had until now.McNamara helped escalate the Vietnam War even as he came to believe it could not be won. Our conversation looks closely at how that happened, why he stayed silent for so long, and what that silence cost us all.For me, this isn't abstract. I lived through the Vietnam era, and years later my own son served as a U.S. Marine in Afghanistan and Iraq. As we watch Donald Trump blowing up and seizing boats in a march toward conflict with Venezuela, it's hard not to notice how often the same patterns repeat themselves.McNamara at War is our December “It Has to Be Read” because it doesn't just explain a war we lost.It forces us to reckon with why we keep losing them._____LINKSI have had the pleasure of talking to some of the leading authors, artists, activists, and change-makers of our time on this podcast, and I want to personally thank you for subscribing, listening, and sharing 100-plus episodes over 100,000 times.Please subscribe to this Podcast, In Conversation… with Frank Schaeffer, on your favorite platform, and to my Substack, It Has to Be Said.

Recorded December 5, 2025 As December pretends to be festive while refusing to fully commit to Christmas, the AV SuperFriends gather to celebrate that special time of year when inboxes are ignored, productivity is optional, and every project update is deferred. Naturally, this means the conversation focuses on patent lawsuits, seasonal anxiety, and the true meaning of future-proof… which, as it turns out, might actually mean sealed in concrete for eternity. From Barco's latest courtroom adventure to the existential question of who actually owns and maintains the hundreds of learning spaces PCs on campus, the panel wanders joyfully into topics no one planned for but everyone has opinions about. Sprinkle in questionable NDI workflows, a debate over whether ServiceNow stories should start with "Once upon a time," and at least one visceral reaction to USB extenders, and you've got yourself a classic AVSF experience.   News story: https://www.ravepubs.com/barco-yealink-patent-verdict-clickshare/   AI-generated alternate show titles Once Upon a ServiceNow Ticket Future-Proofed… and Future-Ruined Legal AV: The Trend Nobody Wanted The Great PC Custody Battle Reserved, Reversed, Whatever; Lawyers Are Involved NDI, USB, and Other Seasonal Nightmares December: Now Technically Christmas-Adjacent   Far superior human-created alternate show titles: It depends, it's diapers Immensely reserved Buckets are bigger than cans Future proof Zip tied off to all these rafters A hot dog is not a sandwich You seem to have it made here It happens so magical I don't know all the details We can biotrack 'em We have one support desk except for the… What do you mean by general support?

Landscape designer Steve Griggs joins Frank Schaeffer for a raw, funny, deeply human conversation about rising from a working-class New York childhood to becoming one of America's premier landscape artists — featured in Forbes, WSJ, HuffPost and Bravo's Backyard Envy.Steve reveals the truth about designing for the ultra-wealthy, why taste beats money every time, how stonework builds character, what 40 years in the dirt taught him, and why water + fire belong in every garden — from mega-estates to tiny balconies.Frank and Steve go deep on class, beauty, craftsmanship, fathers, work ethic, climate, art, and the joy of creating a space people never want to leave._____LINKSCheck out Steve's stunning book Straight DirtFollow Steve on Instagram @SteveGriggsDesignVisit Steve Griggs Design Online_____I have had the pleasure of talking to some of the leading authors, artists, activists, and change-makers of our time on this podcast, and I want to personally thank you for subscribing, listening, and sharing 100-plus episodes over 100,000 times.Please subscribe to this Podcast, In Conversation… with Frank Schaeffer, on your favorite platform, and to my Substack, It Has to Be Said.

Black Friday wasn't just big this year—it was record-breaking. In this episode, we unpack how much shoppers really spent, the online vs. in-store battle, why the “day” now lasts for weeks, and what those steep discounts mean for retailer margins. We also explore the surge in Buy Now, Pay Later and what it signals about consumer health heading into year-end.A new kind of baby gift is coming—and it could reshape generational wealth. We dig into the newly announced Trump Accounts, seeded with funds children can tap for education, small business expenses, and first-time home purchases. Plus, we examine the Dell family's massive $6.25 billion contribution, which expands access for younger children in moderate-income ZIP codes. We break down how these accounts could realistically grow over time, the tax advantages families should understand, and why this program could be a financial lifeline for households with little to no savings.For young men, knowing every player stat is easier than understanding investing—but it doesn't have to be that way. We respond to a listener's question about the rise of sports betting and show how the same competitive spirit can be redirected toward “betting” on the markets—tracking long-term wins, company performance, and financial growth.Before the year closes, your portfolio might be hiding some opportunities. We explore year-end strategies like tax-loss selling, harvesting gains to offset recognized losses, and resetting your cost basis. We also break down how capital gains are taxed and why these moves can help you keep more of what you've earned.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

Hey, investors! Scott Carson here, and I've got a juicy deal that's hotter than a Texas summer! If your lazy assets (and maybe your self-directed IRA) are sitting idle, this is your chance to put them to work on a prime piece of Georgetown, Texas real estate. This isn't some long-haul, snail-paced investment – we're talking a six-month or less turnaround, with conservative numbers figuring in a year!This beauty is one of 48 reverse mortgages we snagged from a hedge fund. The borrower's already passed, HUD's got it cleaned out, and we're looking at a clean, well-maintained property needing just a little lipstick and a fresh coat of paint. Texas foreclosures are fast, and we've got the team ready to rock and roll. This is a potential 10% (or more!) return on your money, secured with a first lien.Here's the breakdown on this Georgetown Goldmine:The Deceased HUD Gem: A clean, 3-bed, 2-bath, 1,348 sq ft home in Georgetown's hot 78628 ZIP code. Borrower deceased, heirs not fighting, property in good shape (interior inspection available!), needs cosmetic updates only – no structural nightmares.The Numbers Make Sense: Current legal balance: $185K. Conservative Fair Market Value: $297K. We're picking up the note for just $170K. Add back taxes and foreclosure costs, and we need $176K in funding. That's over $112K in built-in equity!Exit Strategy 1: Quick Auction Cash! With a 90-day Texas foreclosure and a $191K legal balance (after taxes), a quick auction sale is likely. You get a guaranteed 10% return on your $176K, paid out even if it sells faster than 90 days. We're talking $4,400+ interest in under three months!Exit Strategy 2: REO Flip for Bigger Bucks! If it doesn't sell at auction (our preferred scenario!), we take it back as an REO. An additional $20K for rehab (total $196K invested) for light cosmetic work. Potential net profit of $52K+ with ROI up to 20% if we're doing a one-year prepayment penalty.Due Diligence & Timeline: Full collateral file, realtor CMAs, title update, HUD interior inspection, and exterior video are all available. We're aiming for mid-December funding to kick off a February foreclosure and a March/June sale. Fast, efficient, and profitable!This isn't just another podcast episode; it's a real-time opportunity.

Frank Schaeffer talks with bestselling author and theologian Diana Butler Bass about Advent, spiritual resilience, and her new book A Beautiful Year. In this powerful conversation, they explore the meaning of “fear not” in a time of political turmoil, the role of the Christian liturgical calendar in daily life, and how ancient spiritual practices help us navigate modern anxiety, grief, and uncertainty. Diana reflects on the raw beauty of the Christmas story, the humanity of Mary, and why light and darkness are central to Christian spirituality. If you're searching for insight on Advent, progressive Christianity, the intersection of faith and politics, or how to find hope in overwhelming times, this episode offers clarity, grounding, and real-world encouragement._____LINKSA Beautiful YearDiana Butler Bass: The Cottage_____I have had the pleasure of talking to some of the leading authors, artists, activists, and change-makers of our time on this podcast, and I want to personally thank you for subscribing, listening, and sharing 100-plus episodes over 100,000 times.Please subscribe to this Podcast, In Conversation… with Frank Schaeffer, on your favorite platform, and to my Substack, It Has to Be Said.

The ASX200 closed up about 0.7%, marking three consecutive days of gains and a weekly rise of roughly 2.2% after last week’s 2.5% slump. Hotter‑than‑expected inflation (headline 3.8%, core 3.3%) pushed RBA rate‑cut odds down to 24% for May. Materials, health and consumer stocks led the upswing while tech, telcos and utilities fell. Zip jumped 7% and DroneShield 8% after a European defence contract; Temple & Webster slumped 33% on a weak trading update. Looking ahead, US inflation, jobless claims and durable‑goods data, plus the RBNZ, UK budget and Beige Book, will shape market sentiment.

In this episode, Jack Cochran and Matthew James are joined by Hannah Bloking, and Allison Macalik, co-founders of 4Under3. They discuss the universal challenge of imposter syndrome in the pre-sales profession, exploring how it manifests, why it affects nearly everyone, and practical strategies to address it. Hannah and Allison share insights from their workshops, including powerful techniques like the "lighthouse speaker" mindset and the importance of naming your imposter to take control of those negative thoughts.

Key Topics Covered Understanding Imposter Syndrome The textbook definition: "The persistent inability to believe that one's success is deserved or has been legitimately achieved as a result of one's own efforts or skills" Why it's being reframed as "imposter phenomenon" rather than syndrome How it manifests differently for everyone The discovery that it affects people of all genders, levels, and backgrounds The Presales Connection Why imposter syndrome is particularly prevalent in pre-sales roles The challenge of being asked to be an expert when you're still learning Why internal demos to your own team are the hardest presentations to give The adrenaline rush of presenting and how it relates to imposter feelings Breaking the Silence Why people suffer in silence with imposter syndrome The power of creating space for vulnerability before major initiatives How company culture needs to embrace these conversations The importance of repeat workshops and ongoing dialogue Practical Techniques The Lighthouse Speaker vs. Spotlight Speaker: Thinking of yourself as lighting the way for others rather than being under scrutiny Naming Your Imposter: Giving your negative self-talk a name (like "Todd") to externalize and control it Reframing: Documenting what happens to realize most failures aren't actually about you Finding Your Person: Identifying someone who can hold you accountable when your imposter is talking The Workshop Impact Why companies become repeat customers How addressing imposter syndrome improves productivity and retention The connection between soft skills training and embracing new frameworks Creating internal communities (like AWS's "The Nest") for ongoing support Looking Forward The personal nature of addressing imposter syndrome The importance of daily practice and repetition How workshops facilitate conversations but individuals must do the work The evolving nature of imposter syndrome as AI and change management accelerate

What happens when a former evangelical-turned-atheist-who-prays sits down with a Catholic engineer–philosopher who nearly became a priest… and then founded a medical device company… and then wrote a book arguing that logic, science, and divinity aren't enemies but dance partners?Frank Schaeffer speaks with Brian Cranley, author of The Call of Wonder: How the God of Reason Created Science in His Image, about the Big Bang, Aquinas, Plato, Aristotle, cosmology, consciousness, mystery, logic, faith, doubt, and why wonder might be the deepest human instinct we share.A conversation that moves from cosmology to parenting, from quantum beginnings to spiritual hunger, from medical science to metaphysics, and straight into the heart of what it means to be human.Brian's book: The Call of Wonder: How the God of Reason Created Science in His Imagehttps://briancranley.comI have had the pleasure of talking to some of the leading authors, artists, activists, and change-makers of our time on this podcast, and I want to personally thank you for subscribing, listening, and sharing 100-plus episodes over 100,000 times.Please subscribe to this Podcast, In Conversation… with Frank Schaeffer, on your favorite platform, and to my Substack, It Has to Be Said.

There are moments in grief when nothing in your world feels steady anymore. Your body feels on high alert, your mind keeps scanning for danger, and your heart feels afraid in ways you can't fully name. If this season has stirred up those feelings of unsafety, you're not alone. Today's conversation speaks directly into that tender, vulnerable place. You'll hear from two women who understand this depth of grief on both a personal and professional level. Erin Nelson—who has endured the loss of her husband, her mother, and her son—is also an advanced certified trauma practitioner who's spent more than 20 years supporting grieving families. She's joined by Colleen Montague, a licensed marriage and family therapist who works closely with parents and children in the aftermath of loss. Together, they offer a compassionate, grounded perspective on fear, faith, family grief, and why it's so normal to feel unsafe after someone you love dies. In this episode, you'll learn… why grief can make your whole body feel unsafe—and how God gently restores steadiness how children, teens, and adults experience grief differently inside the same family simple ways to stay grounded when fear pulls you into the past or the future why community matters more than ever when grief feels overwhelming Here are the resources mentioned in today's conversation: Book: When Grief Comes Home: A Gentle Guide for Living Through Loss While Supporting Your Child by Erin Nelson & Colleen Montague — available on Amazon: When Grief Comes Home Jessica's House (California) — a grief support center for children and families: https://www.jessicashouse.org NACG (National Alliance for Children's Grief) — search for a grief program near you by entering your ZIP code: https://nacg.org The Dougy Center — the first grief center for children in the U.S., offering nationwide resources: https://www.dougy.org As you listen, my prayer is that your heart feels met, seen, and steadied.

Send us a textLeads aren't dying. They're expiring while your team gets to them. We unpack a practical playbook for contractors to capture more jobs without buying more clicks, focusing on speed to lead across online scheduling, AI-enabled chat, and automated follow-ups that never sleep. Joined by Danielle from Contractor In Charge and OnePath, we talk through what actually converts: fewer fields, faster confirmations, wider time windows, and a frictionless path from “I have a problem” to “I've got a booked visit.”We start with the hard truth from the data: if you wait six hours on a weekday or forty-eight over the weekend to reply, the customer is gone and the lead looks “bad.” From there, we show how to strip obstacles out of your web experience—let customers describe the issue in their own words, enter a phone and ZIP, see availability, and book in four steps. Worried about routing or edge cases? Book first, optimize later. Then we dive into chat, where most visitors want simple answers fast. AI can greet, qualify, and schedule 24/7, but must offer a human-out at any time to build trust and handle nuance.Form fills still matter, but only with instant automation. We outline how to trigger same‑second replies via text and email, push to scheduling, and follow up on abandoned interactions without relying on a busy inbox. Danielle explains how OnePath brings all of this together—web scheduler, chat, text‑to‑book, and AI-driven, human-backed support—so every channel stays fast, familiar, and flexible. The result is higher conversion, better customer experience, and real protection when shoulder season softens demand.If this conversation helps you spot your slowest link, share it with a teammate, subscribe for more field-tested growth tactics, and leave a quick review to tell us where you're losing speed today.If you enjoyed this chat From the Yellow Chair, consider joining our newsletter, "Let's Sip Some Lemonade," where you can receive exclusive interviews, our bank of helpful downloadables, and updates on upcoming content.

David Clark sits down with Jessica Farr-Jones, Portfolio Manager at Regal Partners, one of Australia's most dynamic alternative investment firms now managing over $20 billion across hedge funds, private credit, real assets, and global equities. Jessica's journey from JP Morgan's investment-banking floors in Sydney & New York to launching her own $150 million Global Small Companies Fund inside Regal is a story of precision, discipline, and conviction. She reveals how her fascination with both maths and market psychology shaped her investment approach—one that blends the rigour of quantitative analysis with the intuition of great traders. Regal evolved from a billion-dollar boutique to a global powerhouse, and why its founder, Phil King, models the firm on the philosophy of Barcelona FC—attracting the world's best talent to perpetuate excellence. Jessica unpacks: * The anatomy of a 20 % p.a. strategy and what it takes to consistently generate alpha across private and listed markets. * How Regal's long-short framework creates “two times the opportunity to make money” without increasing net risk. * Why the rotation into small-caps could be the most powerful trade of the next market cycle. * And the lessons learned from early-stage investments in names like Life360, Zip, and Iris Energy, now a billion-dollar AI and Bitcoin infrastructure play. It's a masterclass in portfolio construction, behavioural discipline, and staying nimble through cycles. Jessica's insights offer a rare look inside how elite fund managers think—and why great investors marry data with intuition.

Unpacking The Gospel with Christian Smith, PhDFrank Schaeffer joins sociologist Christian Smith, PhD, author of "Why Religion Went Obsolete" and "Moral Believing Animals", for a deep conversation about Frank's new book, "The Gospel of Zip."Together they explore the book's central themes: how dogs teach us humility, forgiveness, and connection; what Frank calls the “survival of the friendliest”; and how love, caregiving, and beauty offer a countercultural answer to division and loneliness.Frank reflects on growing up as the son of theologian Francis Schaeffer, the lessons of failure and forgiveness, and why he's giving away "The Gospel of Zip" for free on YouTube.Watch "The Gospel of Zip"https://youtu.be/IiYjrYmMWhAThey discuss faith, loss, and finding meaning beyond dogma—and how religion, evolution, and a sweet little brown dog named Zip all point toward the same truth: “Together is good.

Why am I giving my book away for free?I've been a writer my whole life, but this book—The Gospel of Zip—is different. It's about my dog, Zip. It's about my fifty-six-year relationship with my wife, Genie. It's about what I've learned really matters: love, caregiving, family, friendship. In a world that feels more divided than ever, I wanted to offer something honest and healing. That's why I'm not just selling this book. I'm giving it away for free.For the last seven years, I've poured myself into this project. No strings attached. No catch. Not because I don't value my work, but because I value the message even more. At seventy-three, I don't need to chase a publisher's advance or turn this into a fundraising campaign. What I want most is to share what I've discovered: that the secret to surviving hard times—Trump years, culture wars, political dysfunction—is the same secret that has kept Genie and me together for over half a century. Love. Care. Community. Or, as I put it in the book, “the survival of the friendliest.”We live in an era of echo chambers and algorithms that divide us. But history—and even a dog like Zip—teaches us something better. People have endured far darker times than these by leaning into cooperation, connection, and kindness. That's the lesson Zip lives out every day: greeting everyone as a friend, finding common ground where I might not, reminding me that forgiveness and joy are more powerful than resentment. If we can learn to live that way ourselves, there's no need to stay trapped in bitterness or fear.I have had the pleasure of talking to some of the leading authors, artists, activists, and change-makers of our time on this podcast, and I want to personally thank you for subscribing, listening, and sharing 100-plus episodes over 100,000 times.Please subscribe to this Podcast, In Conversation… with Frank Schaeffer, on your favorite platform, and to my Substack, It Has to Be Said.

In this special 50 Stars, 50 Stories edition of American Potential, host David From celebrates the great state of Nevada — the Battle Born State — and its enduring legacy of freedom, innovation, and resilience. Joining him is Wiz Rouzard, Deputy State Director for Americans for Prosperity–Nevada, whose passion for his adopted home shines through as he connects Nevada's remarkable history to its growing promise today. Wiz takes us back to 1864, when Nevada entered the Union in the midst of the Civil War, helping to secure President Abraham Lincoln's re-election and strengthen the cause of unity. Known for its rugged mountains, independent spirit, and the motto “All for Our Country,” Nevada's story is one of perseverance and bold self-determination. Fast forward 160 years, and that same Battle Born spirit is driving modern reforms. Wiz shares how his team helped make Nevada an open enrollment state, giving every family the freedom to choose the best public school for their child — no longer bound by ZIP code. He explains new legislation that opens doors for foreign-trained doctors to serve in Nevada communities, addressing healthcare shortages while keeping opportunity alive for skilled professionals. And when Hollywood came calling with a proposal for massive taxpayer-funded film subsidies, Wiz and his team stood firm, ensuring that Nevada remains a beacon for free enterprise — not a playground for corporate handouts. Their success in defeating the film tax plan was a major win for fiscal responsibility and local taxpayers. Throughout the conversation, Wiz also shares how Nevada's Battle Born Blueprint continues to guide their mission — expanding educational choice, championing small businesses, protecting donor privacy, and keeping the Silver State a national example of what's possible when people, not politics, lead the way. From silver mines and desert sunsets to new frontiers in opportunity, this episode celebrates Nevada's past, present, and future — one of America's brightest stars in the constellation of freedom.

So much depends on your ZIP code, even children's access to play. But an effort is growing to ensure the playground is where all kids can have fun, learn and heal.“It's where they learn, it's where they build connection, it's where they really establish their identity as a human being in this world,” says Lysa Ratliff, CEO for KABOOM! “And yet, there's extreme disparities in our parks and our schools and our cities and who has access to what.”In this sponsored episode, Ratliff explains how KABOOM! is working in cities such as Baltimore, Oakland and Uvalde in Texas to safeguard a generation's childhood and sense of belonging.KABOOM! is a national nonprofit organization known for building thousands of playgrounds over the past 30 years. Today, the organization is scaling up through its “25 in 5 Initiative” — a plan to partner with 25 cities over five years to end playspace inequity and close the “nature gap” that leaves millions of kids, especially in communities of color, without access to safe, quality green spaces.Ratliff highlights how data, partnerships and community-led design can end inequity.“We're trying to answer a very big question,” says Ratliff. “How can we make sure that every single kid in this country has a chance to grow up in a world that sees them, that values them, that gives them a sense of freedom and belonging and ultimately protects their childhood by any means?”Municipal partners interested in joining the 25 in 5 Initiative can complete an interest survey.
