The Breakdown
A highlight from Could Oil and a Gov't Shutdown Screw Up Powell's Plans?
"Welcome back to The Breakdown with me, NLW. It's a daily podcast on macro, Bitcoin, and the big picture power shifts remaking our world. What's going on, guys? It is Friday, September 22nd, and today we are talking oil, macro, everything that could throw the economy off. But before we get to that, if you are enjoying The Breakdown, please go subscribe to it, give it a rating, give it a review, or if you want to dive deeper into the conversation, come join us on the Breakers Discord. You can find a link at the show notes or go to bit .ly slash breakdown pod. All right, friends, well, we are sort of continuing the macro story today that we picked up around Powell and the FOMC this week. And one of the questions that Powell was asked was about risks that threatened to knock the economy off course. Two that he mentioned that we're going to spend a little time on today include oil prices and a potential government shutdown. Let's start with oil first. The price of crude oil has steadily increased over the past four months. From a low of around $70 in June, oil reached almost $90 a barrel for the US -based WTI benchmark contract and $95 per barrel and $95 per barrel for international Brent crude earlier this week. The price increase for crude has driven US gas prices back above $3 .80 per gallon, the highest level since last October. Overall, gas prices have ramped up by 20 % since the beginning of the year, according to AAA. Now, there are a number of factors all contributing to steadily increasing oil prices since the June lows. The first is OPEC+. The economic group of oil producing nations led by Saudi Arabia and Russia have recently curbed output. Production cuts, which were agreed to late last year, have been gradually implemented over the past six months. In July, Saudi Arabia voluntarily cut an additional 1 million barrels per day from its production quota, about 10 % of its previous output. Existing production cuts across OPEC have already been extended into next year and analysts expect Saudi Arabia to extend their voluntary cuts until March. On Thursday, Russia further constrained supply by banning the export of diesel and petrol. Russia is one of the world's largest suppliers of diesel alongside their status as producing around 12 % of the global supply of crude oil. The International Energy Agency said last year that Russian refineries produce, quote, roughly double the diesel needed to satisfy domestic demand and typically export half their annual production. Analyst opinions focused on the simplest explanation for the ban, retaliation for sanctions. Henning Gloestien of the Eurasia Group said, Russia wants to inflict pain on Europe and the U .S. and it looks like they're now repeating the playbook from gas and the oil market ahead of the winter months. They're showing that they're not finished using their power over energy markets. The Kremlin said the ban was temporary and aimed at addressing rising energy prices in domestic markets. However, they gave no timeline on when the ban might be lifted. U .S. and European policymakers have largely banned the importation of Russian refined fuel since February, which has required Russian supply to be routed through third party regions including Turkey, North Africa and Latin America. Now, OPEC cuts over the past year were predicated on a weakening demand profile heading into this year. At the time they were announced, recessions were expected across Europe and the U .S. China was an open question with the potential of reopening pushed back in the midst of additional pandemic waves. But since then, the European economy is sputtering along, albeit with dismal manufacturing data out of Germany. The sanctioning of Russian supply has caused European demand to be displaced to other regions with refining capacity, largely India and the Middle East. In the U .S., recession has been continuously pushed off into the future and oil demand is now back at all time highs with no signs of slowing. Although the Chinese economy has hit some turbulence recently, oil demand remains robust. Analysts expect China's oil demand to remain high as Beijing secures strategically important resources. What's more, analysts expect China's oil demand to remain high as Beijing secures strategically important resources in part to mitigate geopolitical risks as well as to shore up its manufacturing and transportation industries. So with oil prices spiking, many are wondering whether the White House will once again intervene in markets using the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Between November 2021 and September of last year, the White House authorized a number of SPR releases. The final policy saw one million barrels per day provided into the market over six months. A small amount of oil was restocked earlier this year, but the SPR still sits at a little over half its pre -pandemic level. Earlier this week, a headline circulated proclaiming that quote, Biden says depleting SPR is on the table. This was later found to be a hoax with no legitimate source, but it demonstrates how difficult high oil prices could be for the U .S. economy heading into election season. To wit, many saw the SPR release as a political decision rather than an economic decision heading into the 2022 midterms. In the private sector, U .S. oil inventories have recently hit 40 -year lows of 46 -day supply, well below the longer -term average of 65 days. And while August's inflation reports already showed a small uptick due to oil -related prices, the effect is expected to be more profound across this month. Dario Perkins, an economist at T .S. Lombard said, That said, it is important to keep these recent inflationary developments in context. We are not yet in danger of undoing 12 months of solid disinflationary progress, not even close. Others suggested that high oil prices would have a greater impact on growth rather than inflation. Maya Bhandari, head of multi -asset at BNP Paribas Asset Management said, It really impacts the growth side of the Goldilocks equation rather than the inflation side of things over the long term. Theory is that sustained high oil prices begin to eat into disposable income for households alongside higher costs of production for manufacturing and logistics. These combine to reduce growth and potentially tip the economy into recession. Overall, this situation in the oil markets has, to some, many parallels to the liquid natural gas spike in the winter of 2022. Prices in some markets rose more than tenfold, European energy companies scrambled to secure supply at any cost, and multiple firms went bankrupt due to the volatility in markets. This week, Bloomberg reported that the trading arm of French supplier Total Energies has played a major role in bidding up the price of U .S.-based oil. Their source claimed that the firm is paying a premium for physical U .S. barrels, pushing the spread against futures to levels not seen since last November. With all of that said, there are some signs that the oil market is beginning to cool off. On Thursday, Brent crude futures fell to $92 per barrel, which represented the third straight day of price declines, which is the longest streak in almost a month. Warren Patterson, head of Commodity Strategy at ING, said the Fed's hawkish messaging has quote, put some pressure on risk assets, including oil. The dollar index has risen by 0 .8 % since Chair Powell left the podium, a large enough move to weigh on asset markets. Patterson said he still expects Brent crude to move above the $100 mark in the near term, but that he doesn't anticipate the move will be sustainable. So that is the view on oil overall. The thing that I am definitely going to be watching more than anything else is the political dimension of this. We are now entering the period where everything, even more than usual, is going to be completely wrapped up in what it means for the election season. If prices at the pump keep trending up, it seems very likely that the Biden administration will be willing to do what it takes, including SPR releases, to get those prices down. But that's just something we're going to have to keep an eye on. Now what about that other factor that Powell mentioned? Well yes, indeed, my friends, the US government is once again hurtling towards a shutdown after efforts to pass a short term spending bill were scuttled on the House floor on Thursday. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy attempted to marshal Republicans to vote through a package to keep the government funded past the end of September. Closed door negotiations continued late into Wednesday night, but were apparently unconvincing. The bill currently being considered is the $886 billion Defense Appropriations Act. The bill was stifled in the House after five GOP representatives refused to allow debate to begin by voting against a preliminary procedural rule. Democrats also voted against the measure and appeared to taunt Republicans apparently reveling in seeing the GOP's slim majority descend into chaos. Among the Republican dissenters was Marjorie Taylor Greene, who opposed the inclusion of $300 million in funding to the Ukrainian war effort. On Thursday, Politico reported that Pentagon sources have said Ukrainian operations have been exempted from any shutdown, making that part of the dispute rather moot. McCarthy sent House members home on Thursday night to return to Washington on Tuesday. He told reporters after the failed vote, quote, two people flipped, so I got to figure out how to fix that. That wasn't the impression they had given us. Now, this was McCarthy's third attempt at bringing the bill to the House floor. The current proposal on the table is a 31 -day stopgap funding mechanism to forestall a shutdown to begin next weekend. McCarthy remarked on the change in tone in Congress among that extreme element of the Republican Party, stating that, quote, this is a whole new concept of individuals that just want to burn the whole place down. Now, even if a 31 -day stopgap is passed in the House, it seems unlikely to make its way through the Democrat -controlled Senate. The bill includes a 30 percent temporary cut to domestic agencies and immigration law changes, neither of which are likely to get the seal of approval from Dems. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said instead of decreasing the chance of a shutdown, Speaker McCarthy is actually increasing it by wasting time on extremist proposals that cannot become law in the Senate. House Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries remarked that the situation was playing out as a, quote, Republican civil war. Now, if it comes to pass, this would be the 11th government shutdown since 1980. The logic is that hard -line positions that don't enjoy support in the Congress can be put directly to the American people by shutting down the government and drawing attention to the impasse. Republican Ralph Norman said last week that, quote, we're going to have a shutdown. We believe in what we're doing. The jury will be the country. Still, the record on government shutdowns doesn't really support that strategy. Not one of the 10 previous shutdowns resulted in the dissenting group extracting concessions. Typically, the American people quickly turn on the party they view as blocking access to government services over a petty squabble. Alex Conant, a Republican strategist, said, This is such a dumb fight because there's no principle that we're standing on here. It's just bad tactics. While the dispute is nominally over excessive government spending, with Republican dissenters pushing for funding to be reduced back to 2022 levels, the underlying problem is, of course, the level of discord within the Republican Party. McCarthy was voted in as House Speaker after a record 15 attempts. The process took four days and frequently descended into a farce. This was only the second time in the post -Civil War era that a House Speaker had failed to be elected on the first attempt. Conant noted the terrible optics of a government shutdown of the Republicans' own making heading into election season, stating that, quote, Biden didn't win because of his political skills and soaring oratory. He won because Republicans blew themselves up with Trump. I'm afraid we're seeing history repeat itself, with the GOP once again helping Biden by shooting themselves in the foot. Of course, never one to shy away from controversy, Trump fanned the flames on Wednesday, posting that, quote, Republicans in Congress can and must defund all aspects of Crooked Joe Biden's weaponized government that refuses to close the border and treats half the country as enemies of the state. He added that, quote, This is also the last chance to defund these political prosecutions against me and other patriots. They failed on the debt limit they must not fail now. Use the power of the person to defend the country. Now, zooming out and trying to get away from the politics of the situation, which obviously is not the focus of this show. The reason that this was brought up at last week's FOMC press conference is that a government shutdown would halt the publication of government data. This would include employment, inflation and growth statistics, which are currently playing a key role in guiding Fed policy. Now, given how much the Fed has said over and over again, their policy is going to be driven by data, presumably not having access to that data would be a fairly big deal. Yet in spite of that, Powell tried to put on a brave face, saying, If there is a government shutdown and it lasts through the next meeting, then it's possible we wouldn't be getting some of the data that we would ordinarily get and we would just have to deal with that. Now, by way of some history, the longest ever government shutdown lasted 35 days. The dispute was around funding for the border wall and quickly turned public sentiment against the Trump administration. Republicans controlled both the House and the Senate, but the administration failed to convince their own party to fund the wall. At the time, Democrat Senator Jon Tester called it the most stupid shutdown I have ever seen in my life. However, if this week's display is anything to go by, that 2019 shutdown could soon have some competition for that title. Now, what does this all have to do with the crypto sphere? Well, I think in many ways these are just exemplary of the state of politics in general. And given that, perhaps it's not surprising that former Senator Pat Toomey is not optimistic about the chances of crypto legislation being passed during this Congress. Just prior to retiring from Congress at the beginning of the year, Toomey introduced his own crypto bill, which focused on stablecoin regulations. Now, the House currently has two major crypto bills eligible to be brought for a vote. One would establish a stablecoin framework while the other introduces more broad crypto regulations. While speaking at a Georgetown Law Seminar on Thursday, however, Toomey said, I don't see a path forward in the Senate regardless of how the vote goes in the House. He added that of the two, he sees the stablecoin legislation as having the best shot. The sticking point will likely be Senate Banking Committee Chairman Sherrod Brown. While Brown has been outspoken about the risks of crypto and the need to bring the industry to heel, he has so far remained extremely quiet on exactly what form of legislation would meet his approval. And of course, any crypto legislation would need the support of Democratic senators to pass a vote to become law. Still, during an interview on Thursday, Coinbase Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad said that she thinks that Brown's lack of commitment to a legislative position might actually be a good thing. Shirzad said, Now, last week, Brown wrote a letter to head regulators at multiple agencies urging them to use their existing powers to crack down on non -compliant crypto firms. This of course seems to be the clear intention, at least at the SEC. On Tuesday, the head of that agency's crypto assets and cyber unit, David Hirsch, warned that more enforcement actions would be coming against crypto intermediaries, including DeFi protocols. Still, Toomey, who serves now as an advisor to Coinbase, views stablecoin legislation as the solvable problem. At the moment, Democrats are pushing for the Fed to serve a central role in regulating issuers rather than granting oversight power to state regulators. This preference is believed to be driven by the White House. Toomey said, He thinks that senior Democrats will get on board once the White House is satisfied with the stablecoin proposal. Although that proposal might have to wait until after the election, as Toomey said in the next Congress, I think it's quite possible to get something done.

The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Jennifer Morse
"Welcome to The Eric Mataxas Show. Did you ever see the movie The Blob starring Steve McQueen? The blood curdling threat of The Blob. Well, way back when, Eric had a small part in that film, but they had to cut his scene because The Blob was supposed to eat him, but he kept spitting him out. Oh, the whole thing was just a disaster. Anyway, here's the guy who's not always that easy to digest. Eric Mataxas. Hey there, folks. Welcome to the show. A number of years ago, somebody alerted me to the existence of one Jennifer Morris, who is the founder and president of the Ruth Institute. I had her as my guest Socrates at in the City. We've had her on the program a number of times, but it's been a while, and I'm excited to have her back to talk about some important things. So, Jennifer Morris, welcome back. Thanks for having me, Eric. It was great. That was back in the day when I talked to you at Socrates in the City. That was back when gay marriage was still considered a debatable topic, and now that's completely off the table and we're on to the next thing that we're all supposed to That's accept. the point. So, you talk a little bit about the Ruth Institute. You're the founder and president of that, and then I want to talk about your book, The Sexual State. It's all, unfortunately, very important, but I'm just glad to have you because people try to process this stuff, and you're one of the voices that's been processing it for a long time. Yes, yes. Well, thank you. Thank you for that. Yeah, so the Ruth Institute is an international interfaith coalition to defend the family and build a civilization of love, and we really are international. We really are interfaith, Eric. I have people working on my staff, actually, you know, who are Orthodox, Mormon, Jewish, evangelical, you know, but we're trying to defend the ancient Christian teaching that is the heritage or the common heritage of the whole Christian tradition, which is one man, one woman for life. Get married, stay married, only have sex with the person you're married to. You have to admit that would solve a lot of problems, you know, if we only had sex with the person we were married to, or even with our own bodies, which is what the whole transgender movement is about. So, the Ruth Institute tries to present a unified front explaining what's wrong with the sexual revolution, not just the thing that's happening right now, not just the thing that's happening in the last five minutes, but, you know, the 10, 20, 30, 40 years that led up to it there, so that people can have a comprehensive look at what's really going on here. And there's so much going on here, and I think that what I always say, at least the last year, I say it's about reality. God created this thing we call reality. In the founding documents, they say nature's God, the God who created nature, all that exists in nature.

Capstone Conversation
Ed Del Beccaro Shares a Broker's Perspective on Economic Development
"Going to introduce Ed DelBaccaro of TRI Commercial Real Estate. Why are we talking to a commercial broker? Part of that is because for economic development to happen, there are multiple partners and a city has to get the perspective of a broker because they are the ones that look for not only the locations for cities, but the time to approve permits, the possibility of zoning and the problems zoning may. So I think you're going to find this an interesting take on how does a broker finding locations for clients, creating employment opportunities for cities. How do they want to work with cities and how could a city better work with that broker? Thank you for joining us on today's Capstone Conversation. Ed is the San Francisco Bay Area Regional Manager for TRI Commercial Offices. He is personally out of the Walnut Creek area, but the region serves San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose among everything in between those three cities. He specializes in office sales, medical, retail properties and mixed use space. He has over 40 years in the space. He is the vice chair of the East Bay Development Association. He is a board member of the East Bay Leadership Council, and he is a member of the Diablo Valley Tech Institute, among other things that he could talk about in his background. Ed, do you want to tell us a little bit more about yourself today? Thank Yes. you, Jared. As you mentioned, I've been in the real estate space 40 plus years, whether it's a commercial broker offering commercial record services, I've also been in the property management space where I ran a property management division, managed some of my own buildings. I also do project consulting, and I also do consulting to cities and some developers or tenants. So I went to school out here, stayed. I was a philosophy major, which is why I'm in commercial real estate, married with three kids and four grandkids. Great. And if our audience is wondering, why are we talking to a commercial broker today when we've been talking to mayors, city councilmen, chamber executives? Today is to get a broker perspective on economic development and the permit process. How could cities work with brokers? How can they partner with the real estate community to learn and better develop their cities into the best that they can be? That's actually a very good question. My day job is to assist companies in either relocating into our region or retaining companies. And the second part of the day job is to advise owners and developers where to invest and put their buildings. Where are the economic drivers going? What kinds of tenants and tenants are different? A insurance company is different from a bank is different from a life science is different from a advanced manufacturing. So there's all kinds of factors that go into that decision, whether you're the tenant, the user, or whether you're the developer owner who hosts the building. And it's not just I have a vacant piece of property or a vacant building, build it and they will come. So therefore, we live in the future as commercial brokers. We're looking at I just got off a Zoom call with a major hospital that I represent and we're talking about 225 and 230 timelines as to when we move and plan. And then what are the parameters and what is what do they need in terms of infrastructure and where? So we literally live two to five years down the road, which is the horizon of several of the economic development directors, so we can assist with that.

We'll also be discussing Bitcoin price all -time high will precede the 2024 halving according to this latest prediction by Bitcoin. Quitting him here, no, Bitcoin is not going to top before the halving. Yes, it is going to reach a new all -time high before the halving. No, Bitcoin is not going to 160 ,000 because the magnitude of every pullback is large. This means it will peak after the halving in 2024. And yes, the target price is around $250 ,000 per Bitcoin. I'll also be sharing the latest predictions from Max Keiser with the Bitcoin price action I recently transcribed his most recent interviews. We'll also be taking a look at the overall crypto market, all this plus so much more in today's show. Yo, what's good crypto fam? This is first and foremost, a video show. So if you want the full premium experience with video, visit my YouTube channel at cryptonewsalerts .net. Again, that's cryptonewsalerts .net. Welcome everyone just joining us. This is pod episode number 1403. I'm your host JV, and it is stat stacking Saturday. So let's get it. It's September 16th. So you already know we're halfway through the September before October. So let's bring it. Let's start with our market watch. As you can see here on the screen, we're back in the green. Bitcoin up a half a percent for the day trading back above 26 ,500. We also have Ether trading above 1600. And checking out coinmarketcap .com, we're sitting just above that trillion dollar milestone with roughly 22 billion in volume in the past 24 hours. Bitcoin dominance is 48 .9%, and the Ether dominance is 18 .6%. And checking out the top 100 crypto gainers of the past 24 hours, TonCoin leading the pack up 17 .5 % trading at $2 .42, followed by ThorChain up 9 .5%, trading at $1 .91, followed by Flow up 8 .5%, trading just above 46 cents. And checking out the top 100 crypto gainers for the past week, we have a sea of green, which is a beautiful omen for the altcoin market. We have coins such as TonFlow, Rune, and Ave all pretty up between anywhere from 8 to 13%. And yeah, so there you have it. How many of you are currently bullish on the king crypto, and how many of you are anticipating a further dip? Let me know your insights. And at the end of the show, I'll be reading everyone's comments out loud as we do each and every day in the Q &A session. Now, let's dive into some technical analysis from Glassnode, one of my favorite analytics platform. The past few days have been relatively positive for the price action for the king crypto, which has been increasing since Tuesday, September 12th. At the time, Bitcoin is sitting just above 25 ,600. Now in this prediction, the co -founder of the popular crypto analytics resource, Glassnode, outlined that the US CPI jumped by 0 .6%, which led to some fluctuations of the Bitcoin price. And indeed, the core CPI, which excludes more volatile sectors such as food and energy by design, has noted a yearly increase of 4 .3%. But interestingly, the CPI itself clocked in at 3 .7%, while the estimations were for it to be 3 .6%. So initially, the news didn't really have any impact on the price, which beyond the expected initial turbulence, settled at where it was trading just before that. So here's some price predictions coming from the Glassnode co -founder. He pointed out that crypto reclaimed the support above 26 ,000 and is now eyeing a potential break beyond 27 ,000. This would help it escape a multi -week range. He went on to share, risk signals nose dive into the 60s around ,400 27 and 28 ,200. But this climb seems poised as a step before tackling the psychological barrier at $30 ,000. So there you have it. Let me know if you agree or disagree with the analysts. And are you currently more bullish or bearish on the King crypto for the short term? Please do let me know. And breaking news just came in before I went live. And I'm like, it's hard for me to even accept this, but this is what it says. Former SEC and Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Norman Reed, is announced as the new CEO of Binance US. You can't make this stuff up. Folks, what is the SEC doing? Now, Max Kaiser recently tweeted, I'm sure you know, there was a Tucker Carlson interview with the pro Bitcoin presidential candidate of Argentina, who's currently winning the polls for the presidency. And fantastic, almost 400 million views within the first day. Max went on to share, we help boost El Salvador's bonds 90 % this year. Facts. We can help Javier Malay in Argentina escape the IMF central banking terrorists and get Argentina's economy rocking. Hope to be landing in Buenos Aires soon. So the million dollar question, do you think Max Kaiser will orange pill Javier Malay? I sure hope so. He even recently tweeted here, President Bukele plus Bitcoin have reinvented the nation state. Governance is being redefined in the Bitcoin age. A true meritocracy in universal economic freedom is rising in El Salvador. Socialist ideas are on their deathbed. Can the Bukele model of Bukele -nomics be exported to another country? We will go to Argentina and discuss this with Javier Malay. And quoting El Salvador's fearless leader, Bukele, old ideas and institutions crumbled and a new generation is called on to remake the world based on the human right of financial freedom. Preach. Now, Max also shared in regards to this headline, Janet Yellen says Ukraine aid is the best boost for the global economy. Now this is hilarious and also sincere at the same time. Bitcoin monetizes war and violence by being finite and uncomfortable as this ugly, what? Illustrates money monetizes war by violence by turning humans into disposable garbage central bank Ponzi scheme. Preach Max Kaiser. Greatly appreciate all the work you're doing. You're truly doing God's work. You and Stacy's a massive shout out. Now let's discuss the latest with the hack from Mark Cuban. Now this is alarming, but at the same time, it's Meta Mass. I've been telling you guys to stay away from the Meta Mass wallet for quite some time. And also they didn't hack Bitcoin. They hacked Ethereum. I personally don't trust Ethereum or Meta Mass. So interestingly enough, so to read this story, let's break this down. Check this out. Nearly $900 ,000 worth of Ethereum was reportedly drained from one of the hot wallets belonging to investor in Dallas. Mavs owner, Mark Cuban, the man that once said Bitcoin has no intrinsic value and that bananas are more valuable. Yeah, right now, independent blockchain sleuth was the first to spot the hack September 15th at around 8 PM. So that was last night after they highlighted suspicious behavior. What one of Cuban's wallets that the 65 year old had an interacted with for roughly five months as he shared here on X LMAO did Mark Cuban's wallet just get drain wallet inactive for 160 days and all of the assets just moved. And according to the transaction history on Etherscan, several batches of assets such as USD coin, USDC tether, and Lido staked Ether were suddenly withdrawn from the wallet within a 10 minute window. Now adding complexity to the matter, another 2 million worth of USDC was also withdrawn and sent to a different wallet, leading Woz to suspect that Cuban may just be moving some assets around. However, a few hours later, Cuban confirm to DL news that he had gone on metamask for the first time in months and vaguely suggested that the hacker or hackers may have been watching and waiting for the moment to pounce. Cuban added that he had transferred any remaining assets to Coinbase custody, essentially confirming that the $2 million worth of USDC transaction was indeed him. But in terms of the hack, members of the community were quick to point out that the opposed to the hackers watching Cubans activity, he must have done something that led to the security breach. Some suggested that Cuban may have mistakenly signed a malicious transaction while others asserted his private keys were compromised given that the funds were directly transferred out of his wallets. What do you guys personally think chat? Please let me know in the comments below. This is not the first time Cuban has been taken a hit on the crypto market. Back in June of 2021, Cuban Lawson unspecified amount of capital on what he called a rug pull after the algo stable project called iron finance imploded amid a supposed bank run. So there you have it. Mark Cuban has a bad track record in crypto. Just pointing out the obvious fam, how many of you guys think that it was a legitimate hack? Let me know your thoughts or how many of you think he maybe have just moved it around and don't want to claim it. Who knows? I mean, there's infinite possibilities. No one really knows, but I'll be keeping you posted with the latest developments. We all know Mark Cuban is a multi -billionaire. So obviously a $900 ,000 loss is not going to affect him. He's not going to lose any sleep over it. But what if you were to get hacked worth of $900 ,000 of crypto? So again, red alert, be very careful with wallets such as MetaMask. Just saying. Now for the latest between the digital currency group in Gemini with the ongoing saga as it continues, lawyers representing Gemini Trust have pushed back against the plan proposed by DCG for the creditors of Genesis Global in the filing yesterday, September 15th in the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District in New York. New York, where you at? The legal team accused DCG of gaslighting Genesis creditors through contrived, misleading and inaccurate assertions and a recovery plan. Now the plan filed in Bankruptcy Court September 13th, three days ago, claimed unsecured creditors could have a 70 to 90 % recovery with a meaningful portion of the recovery in digital currencies, while Gemini earned users would expect an approximately 95 to 110 % recovery for their claims. This seemed like a red flag when I initially read the story. I'm like, how are they going to get back 110 %? Does that make any sense? So now I'm starting to understand maybe they were gaslighting. What are your thoughts, chat? According to the legal team, DCG was attempting to bait the Gemini lenders into accepting the deal that would allow the company to pay less than it allegedly owed. Lawyers called on the firm to significantly improve the terms of the loans provided to Genesis and not use Genesis' bankruptcy proceedings to cover for justifications of the recovery plan, quoting them here, to distract the Genesis creditors from the inconvenient facts of its facially inadequate and inequitable proposal, DCG touts proposed recovery rates that are total mirage, misleading at best and deceptive at worst, said the filing yesterday, September 15th. Make no mistake, Gemini lenders will not actually receive anything close to the real value in terms of proposed recovery rates under the current agreement. In principle, so a bunch of more shenanigans, to say the least. The legal battle involved entanglements with crypto exchange Gemini and DCG over the Gemini Earn program. How many of you have lost crypto from Gemini Earn? I'm curious. Please let me know in the chat, fam. Financed in part by Genesis, Genesis halted withdrawals as we know November of 2022 in the wake of the FTX collapse, citing unprecedented market turmoil at the time and filed for bankruptcy later on in January of this year. According to the court filings by Gemini, Genesis owed more than $3 .5 billion to its top 50 creditors at the time of their Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. The crypto exchange filed the claim in May, aimed at recovering more than $1 .1 billion worth of assets for roughly $232 ,000 Earn users and filed a lawsuit against DCG and their CEO, Barry Silber, in June alleging fraud. Barry was not the only architect and mastermind of the DCG and Genesis fraud against the creditors. He was directly and personally involved in perpetuating it, said Gemini co -founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss back in June. The US SEC filed a civil suit against Gemini and Genesis in January for allegedly selling unregistered securities through the Earn program. The two firms filed a motion to dismiss the case in May, but it is still ongoing at this current time. How do you think this is likely to play out? I just hope that the investors get their money back as they deserve because we all know with lawsuits, the biggest losers are always the investors. The biggest winners are the lawyers and the courts. That's just facts. So we'll see how this plays out as well. And again, they're attacking and going after all of the yield programs for crypto with Gemini Earn being a pretty large one. Why? It undermines the banks, right? If you can earn a five or 10 % yield putting your cryptocurrency on their platform, it basically tells you that why would you even waste your time with fiat currency in your bank when you're losing more than the actual appreciation of interest because the interest is virtually nothing while you're losing 20 % in inflation on an annual basis. It just makes no sense. So it seems if I had to guess, that's why they're attacking all of these yield programs. But what are your thoughts, chat? Please do let me know. I'm going to read those comments out in a little bit. Now let's discuss the latest with Bitcoin Trust. That's right, BitGo and Swan unveiled plans for their Bitcoin -only trust company. This is breaking news as well. The US may soon have a Bitcoin -only trust company according to plans disclosed by BitGo and Swan yesterday, September 15th. The joint venture is pending regulatory approval, the company said in the statement. Now I love the word joint venture because hey, JV, just saying. The forthcoming entity will handle similar activities of a trust company, including Bitcoin custody, administration and management on behalf of its beneficiaries. And according to Corey Clipston, CEO of Swan, the solutions intends to offer Bitcoin custody without the risk of having other altcoins under the same roof. As you know, Swan is Bitcoin -only and they're pretty much anti everything, not Bitcoin. Quoting him here, for years, we have heard from major clients, partners and other Bitcoin companies that they would prefer a Bitcoin -only software and services stack that is focused strictly on the best custody and leverages of Bitcoin's unique features. The companies are in contact with state regulators about the plans, but have yet to file regulatory approval. Clipston told Cointelegraph we're evaluating acquisition options first, he disclosed as he announced here through the Swan Bitcoin team on X. As part of our long -term vision to advance Bitcoin adoption, we're announcing a major step forward for Swan and the entire Bitcoin ecosystem. BitGo and Swan announced plans for USA's first Bitcoin -only trust company. Let's go USA. BitGo offers digital asset security and custody, supporting over 700 cryptos as per its website. And in contrast, Swan's business is fully dedicated to the king crypto, allowing users to only invest in Bitcoin via a one -time and reoccurring purchases, with custody of records held at Fortress Bank and Bakkt, while BitGo acts as a cold storage for Custodian. Now, didn't Fortress Trust just go bankrupt or get acquired by another company? Was it Ripple? You guys let me know in the chat. I know there was something major with Fortress Trust. Now, the new venture will target institutional investors such as asset managers, pension plans, and family offices, along with governments and company treasuries. It will offer cold storage, fraud prevention, anti -money laundering, and know -your -customer protocols, amongst other Bitcoin -related services. Institutional investors in the crypto space are at a fast -growing market in the US, especially as the world's largest asset managers seek regulatory approval, which includes BlackRock, the largest. For a spot Bitcoin ETF, we also have several large Wall Street players offering crypto custody solutions to institutional investors, which include the Bank of New York, Mellon, as well as Deutsche Bank, quoting them here. We believe there is a high likelihood that several ETFs are approved in 2024, and thus a new round of entrants to the Bitcoin market seeking mature, reputable, technology -proficient partners for a range of needs, explained the Swan CEO. The SEC delayed decisions on the spot Bitcoin ETF product. Analysts predict the regulatory regulator may postpone a decision until early 2024 as the deadline fast approaches, quoting them again. Our teams have worked closely together for nearly a year on stronger, qualified custody models. Early in 2023, we recognized the opportunity to establish a Bitcoin -only custodian, combining the unique capabilities of each company and supporting the innovators that will be at the forefront of pushing Bitcoin adoption, noted the CEO of BitGo. So there you have it. I am curious, by a show of hands chat, how many of you have purchased or acquired Bitcoin using Swan Bitcoin, and how many of you are familiar or ever used BitGo? Let me know in the chat. Now let's break down our next breaking story of the day, and that's the Bitcoin halving, which should be on everybody's mind, because it's only six months out, estimated to take place sometime in April of 2024. Now guess what? What if we hit a new all -time high pre -halving, because that's what this prediction suggests. Let's break this baby down, shall we? Bitcoin has a $250 ,000 target for after its next block subsidy halving, but a new all -time high will come sooner. Let me know if you guys agree. That is the latest Bitcoin prediction from BitQuant, the popular social media commentator who sees a rosy future for Bitcoin. In his latest post on X on September 15th, synonymous central banker and Bitcoiner revealed a pre -halving target of 69 ,000. That's what makes this individual interesting. He is a central banker and a Bitcoiner. I didn't even know that was a possible combination, fam, just saying, but he wrote, no, Bitcoin is not going to the top before the halving. Yes, it is going to reach a new all -time high before the halving. Now Bitcoin has just over six months before the halving, the event that cuts the miner rewards, as we know, per block by 50 % every four years. Analysts argue that the resulting emission restrictions have a cathartic impact on the Bitcoin price performance, acting as something of a springboard in advance of Bitcoin seeing new all -time highs. But for BitQuant, the analysts, that alone is not bullish enough. Not only will Bitcoin beat its current record set in 2021, which we all know the current all -time high is 69 ,000, before next April, it'll go on to hit $250 ,000 per Bitcoin after the next halving cycle begins. That's what he says here. No, Bitcoin is not going to 160 ,000 because the magnitude of every pullback is large. This means it will peak after the halving in 2024, and yes, the target price is around 250 ,000, which is outlined right here in the chart. Let me know if you agree or disagree with this crypto analyst, BitQuant. Now, market participants are highly divided when it comes to how the Bitcoin price action will play out into the halving and beyond. Some agree that the higher levels are possible by April, but plenty of conservative voices obviously remain, especially bears, right? Last month, Bitcoin investor and author Jesse Myers dispelled any idea that Bitcoin will be trading at six figures between now and then, and in a subsequent interview, meanwhile, Philby Philby, the co -founder of Trading Suite, decent trader, gave a pre -halving Bitcoin price ceiling of 46 ,000, quoting him here, assuming no Black Swan event, around 35 ,000 by the end of the year, and possibly as high as 46 ,000, sometime pre -halving in quarter one of 2024. So there, you freaking have it. And as he shares here, I'm going to read you his particular post on X coming from Bitcoin. Again, this is the central banker slash Bitcoiner. He says, no, Bitcoin is not going to the top before the halving. Yes, it is going to reach a new all -time high before the halving. No, Bitcoin is not going to 160 ,000 because the magnitude of every pullback is large. This means it will peak after the halving in 2024. And yes, the target price is around $250 ,000 per coin. So there you have it, fam. Again, let me know if you agree or disagree with the analysts and where do you feel the Bitcoin halving, which is around the corner, is likely to take us. As you know, the two most bullish catalysts in the market, Bitcoin halving as well as spot Bitcoin ETF. I hope they both get approved and take place. We already know for certain the halving will take place, but there's a 95 % chance of the spot ETF approval in the United States, according to top ETF analyst, Eric Balchunes of Bloomberg. Now for the moment you have all been waiting for, the latest from Max Kaiser. I recently transcribed, actually today, his most recent interview in Bitcoin price predictions, very powerful words to share. So let's break this down. So first and foremost, he says, the world is a very different place and everyone will say nobody saw it coming, but it is clearly been brewing now for many years. And it's like every single day you can just see the catastrophe inching toward the abyss. You know, it's we're at the zero line preach. He also says it is a global fiat money game and you see different countries where fiat money regimes are collapsing in real time, right? Facts. Argentina, you know, the countries like this or like Lebanon recently had a complete collapse or a central bank collapse. That's right. And inflation is definitely an indication that your fiat money regime is in dire straits and inflation is breaking out in a big way. It is not going to return to where it was before this latest inflation break inflation and the collapse of fiat money is here. Now people are feeling it right now. And the quality of life all over the world is being impacted by it and it's being impacted in the United States. You know, people can't buy a home. People can't afford food. The economy is starting to ramp back up again. So it's playing out right now. And there is nothing that can be done to stop this inflation because the economy is completely out of control. So even the interest on the debt in the United States is now over one trillion dollars. So I think it is the biggest line item on the budget, bigger than the military. What we were told for decades was, oh, you know, it's trickle down economics or what you have, what not. I mean, and he goes on to share with Bitcoin. It's kind of the end of price discovery because everything will be priced in Bitcoin preach. eventually Everything goes to zero against Bitcoin. And so for someone like myself, who has been following this for 40 years, finance markets, technology, Bitcoin is the holy grail. It is the end all. I would say my compatriot in all of this is the one and only Michael Saylor. When you hear Michael Saylor talk, he talks about the aesthetics of Bitcoin, the beauty of Bitcoin. And he speaks about it in a way that I think carries the torch from the Max and Stacey from 2011. He started buying it, I guess, when it was 10 or 12000 a coin or so in 2020 era. So we were from 2011 to 2020. I think he's kind of carried the torch from 2020 in a lot of ways and introduced Bitcoin to massive pools of capital. I am surprised that more companies haven't followed his lead, giving up the break in inflation we have had exactly as Michael Saylor predicted, the melting ice cube, as he called it at that time, is exactly what happened. Well, I guess we can say now we're in a new era where BlackRock and those other major institutions are now looking at Bitcoin. So his work on the institutional level, I guess, is now bearing fruit. Three years later, I see in the Middle East, they are starting to recognize Bitcoin. So that's a huge pool of capital. I think all of that oil money will find its way into Bitcoin and be a huge catalyst for the prices. It is a natural way for the oil industry to diversify their portfolio because Bitcoin is essentially energy and the energy eventually gets priced in Bitcoin. And there is a marriage between these two in a big way. So I think that's kind of the answer. I have always been fascinated by price discovery in markets and the architecture of how markets work under the hood. And Bitcoin is such a pristine, perfect money. And I think it is something that humans have been searching for since forever. And now we're seeing it change society on a really fundamental level with the introduction of Bitcoin. And a lot of people are freaking out because of it, because it destroys the status quo. And a lot of people who have been waiting for it to come along have had the faith that humanity can be saved. They see Bitcoin in those terms. So you have this split going on, which is very exciting. So it just continues on and on. And you cannot, how could you not be interested in it? I think the people who were into it earlier and just walked away just never got it from the beginning. Once it's characterized as an asset class, we have nothing to do except position ourselves in this asset class. Either we are going to be a small position or a big position, but we cannot ignore it. We cannot not have a position. Now check this out. So even 1 % of that multi -hundred trillion dollar funds available moves the needle on Bitcoin and it moves it up considerably. He's referencing the 700 trillion dollar plus total addressable market. And he continues, so if we get into the 5 to 10 % range, then you start to really see it raise ahead to the seven figure type predictions that people have been making, including myself, because Bitcoin is an asset class preach. And on the flip side, we have what we saw in the gold market, which is the ability to control the price discovery and manipulate the prices. It's real through the derivatives markets. So the price of gold has been lagging inflation for 20 years because the governments around the world don't like gold making their fiat money look bad. That's right. So they make it easy for the huge funds to manipulate the price of gold and to scalp it, to continuously skim profits off of gold, which is what they do almost every single day. You can watch it and see it. That's pretty clear. And they are very good at keeping the price of gold and silver down. There's something like for every ounce of silver, there's probably 50 ounces worth of derivatives floating in various exchanges around world that are used to keep the price of silver down because governments don't want gold to race ahead and draw capital out of their fiat money scam into gold. He's preaching. Now with Bitcoin, we have the ability to pull our private keys, which is not really available with gold. Technically people can take delivery of gold on these exchanges, but there has never been an organized attempt to do so. We tried to do it a few years ago with crash JP Morgan, buy gold and silver because after the 2008 financial crisis, when JP Morgan ended up buying Bear Stearns effectively for nothing, they inherited this huge multimillion short silver position that Bear Stearns was managing at the behest of presumably the government. The government likes to stay involved. And so I did some calculations and it became clear that if this short position was not covered, the price of silver could go to 60 to $70 an ounce, and it would bankrupt JP Morgan Chase. Take that Jamie Dimon. So we started this crash JP Morgan buy silver campaign, and we got the price of silver from $15 up to $50. So we got it up to $50 level. And then the Fed of course came in, they changed the laws overnight to make it possible for these banks to have and carry a much greater short position and silver. So they printed up a lot of paper, silver derivatives, and they stopped the run on their bank. And the price of silver went back down to $15 or so. So we've seen that it is possible to force capitulation in that silver market. But at the end of the day, because the ability to pull private keys is not like it is Bitcoin, I don't think it'll ever succeed. Whereas with Bitcoin, you can pull your private keys. Now, I mean, he is speaking facts right here. Warren Buffett and his own words has said, derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction. The central bankers are using it to manipulate the markets. That's what they're doing with silver. That's what they're doing with gold and precious metals. And Max makes a great point. They don't want the gold and silver prices to rise up. It undermines the US dollar. They're trying to keep a strong dollar, right? So that's why gold has been pretty stable at like $2 ,000 and unable to really climb much above it. I think it's been pretty stagnant virtually for the past decade. So with the dollar inflating from them continuing to print trillions of dollars, the fact that gold isn't just continuously going up, it proves that the market is manipulated. You also got to consider as well, there is no scarce asset like Bitcoin. Bitcoin has a finite limited supply of 21 million coins. Yeah, gold may be rare or scarce, but they dump a new supply every year into the market. They can control it. They could invest more into discovering more gold. As Jack Mallers pointed out, Elon could maybe discover more gold on Mars. Who knows? Bitcoin, you can't say the same thing. Bitcoin is perfect money. It's incorruptible. It's unconfiscatable and the list goes on and on. So if you had the choice to put your wealth somewhere, what asset class would you choose to put it in? Let me know, fam.

Psychic Christine Wallace Healing House
Sunil Bhaskaran Reflects on Finding Happiness and Creating a Better Future
"I believe in happiness. That happiness, a lot of people, I feel, are so much in their head these days. You know, thinking about this, thinking about that. You know, a lot of the spiritualism aspects of life is so buried nowadays with logic and blah, blah, blah. And they neglect their religion or whatever spiritualism that they grew up in. Or if they even want to invent their own, it doesn't matter. But I feel that getting more connected to your soul, your spiritualism, is a way to find comfort. It's a way to put things in perspective. I think it's more than that. And I accept what you say. I think it's also to find your strength, which is always there. Please add. The strength is in choices, making the choice, you see, because what's happening is people are not choosing. And there's nothing wrong with not choosing, but there's nothing much right about it either in avoiding the choice. Because what you do in lieu of choosing is you continue to complain either to yourself or to other people, mostly to other people. Tell me what your feeling is about complaining. What do you think the trouble is? What do you think it does to a person to complain? It covers up. It's not like you've got a feeling about this. It covers up a lot of stuff. There's a reason why people gossip. It covers up the unwillingness for them to look at their own lives, to be 100 % responsible for the things that are missing or not working. So if your husband you feel is not coming up to par and communications are showing love and affection to you, well, the proactive thing to do is to have a straightforward conversation with him and say that he's unworkable. And, you know, I'm not saying that you have to cast some kind of deadline or anything like that, but to at least initially give him a chance to show that he's willing to work at it and paint a picture for him. Like, you know, hey, if you work on this, we could have a great life. We might be married for 30, 40 years, and when our kids leave, we could have a great life together if we start working on it now. But if we don't start working on it now, I feel we're not going to have a great life and you may be alone. What do you think, because it sounds like such a simple solution, what do you think prevents people from doing that? Because the past is so strong for people. All the past beliefs, what they've been told by their parents if they get divorced or by friends or from watching movies, become so real for them that they haven't spent enough time talking about the future. See, I spend 99 percent of my time every day talking about the future with people. Right. You know, so my future vision of what I want to fulfill is way stronger than all the abuse and stuff that I used to have. Right. It's not the face of someone who's been abused, it's the face of someone looking forward to the future. I see that, yes. You know, you could say that they're not practiced enough in talking about the future with people. And other people like their husband kind of play into that game as well, because, you know, the pull of the past is a lot stronger, it's easier to make somebody wrong than to create a future. At least it looks like that. But actually, the opposite is true. It's a lot happier, joyful in the long run to create a future. You might have some short -term suffering because you may have to deal with certain things. You might even end up divorced. But in the long term, people tend to be happier when they look to the future rather than continue to live in the past. How about the present? Well, you bring the future… A lot of people say, be present, be present. No, that's very accurate and it's very commensurate what I'm saying, because if you keep talking about the future in the present moment, what you're present to is not the past. You're present to, I'm here now. What am I doing also today for tomorrow? What can I do right now in this moment to create a new future? But the default, if you don't have that conversation, is more of the same old past behind you.

Overcoming Trauma With Sunil Bhaskaran: A Journey of Fear, Abuse, And Healing
"Were going to do a discussion on fear, overcoming fear, anxiety. All right. And I guess this is something that you've been working on for a long time. Can you give me a little bit of the background on what took you to the path of learning more about fear and anxiety and overcoming it? Just do share, please. Thank you. Sure, yeah. I mean, I had a tremendous amount of trauma growing up. And I had a good family, but, you know, I had some abuse happen from a distant relative that I had to resolve. And I was trying to, you know, I kept it a secret from the family. And then when I was still young, at the age of 18, I ended up in a situation where I watched some friends of mine being tortured in front of me. And I was tortured myself as well. Is that by family or? No, by, well, I was young and I made a mistake. And I ended up in a military prison in the country I grew up in. I And so was put in a cell with some people who became friends of mine. And we protected each other from some of the abuse that went on. Some of the officials there. And so I, you know, I saw a lot of trauma and I had a lot of trauma done to me as well. And I kept that all a secret because, you know, just the nature of our culture, we don't really disclose stuff. And so when I came to America, one of the things I heard about this, you know, like early 80s was this thing called therapy. What kind of therapy? I'm sorry. Therapy, like psychotherapy. General therapy, psychotherapy. OK. So that was my first therapy session, the first time I told anybody about what I'd been through, apart from the people who were obviously involved. And so that set me on this journey of personal development. And the therapist that I had introduced me to all kinds of other healing modalities. This is California you're talking about. Sure. And so, you know, that was in 1985. So it's been, you know, a little less than 40 years of development. And initially it was all about trying to fix myself. Do you mind sharing, because I'm sure the audience and whoever is listening would be curious, what country did this happen in? And is it just general physical torture? Are we also talking physical as well as sexual torture, that kind of thing? Physical torture. Yeah. OK. Yeah. And I'd rather not. Sorry. Sure. So, you know, so, yeah, I grew up with that and then I was working through it. And then I mean, I really climbed every inch of this ladder. Right. You know, I found a person who basically molested me when I was eight years old. Wow. And reunited him with my family. He still denied ever doing anything, but I unilaterally forgave him. But I worked through a lot of this. I would imagine. I stuck through every single inch. I didn't leave anything uncovered.

Meet New Chicago Fire Wife Krista Harkin: Navigating the Ups and Downs
"We are talking to a newer firewife, Krista Harkin. Krista is a mother of two, a proud firewife and a powerhouse in Chicago's real estate scene. She leads one of the city's top real estate teams. Krista's journey into the firefighting lifestyle is a relatively recent one, but it didn't take long for her to grasp the profound reality of what it means to be married to a firefighter. Shortly after her husband graduated from the Chicago Fire Academy, his engine company faced the heart wrenching loss of one of their own in the line of duty. It was a life altering experience that left a lasting impact on their family. But the challenges didn't stop there. Just months later, Krista's family encountered an unexpected medical emergency that forced her husband into a six month long medical leave. These unforeseen events brought about significant changes in both her work and family life. However, they also offered her a unique perspective. Krista now deeply understands the importance of letting go of what cannot be controlled, especially when confronted with the unexpected obstacles that inevitably come with the firefighting life. Krista's journey took an intriguing turn when her husband introduced her to our podcast. Listening to the show, she found comfort in hearing the stories of other women who shared her experiences, assuring her that there is a strong community of support for firefighting families spanning across the nation. Furthermore, Krista gained a newfound appreciation for the vast differences between wildland firefighting and city firefighting. With this fresh perspective and a desire to connect with others who share her journey, Krista is here to share her own story. We believe her experiences and insight resonate deeply with many of our listeners, providing a unique and valuable connection in the world of firefighting and the challenges it brings to families like hers. So without further ado, let's delve into Krista's inspiring journey and the invaluable lessons she's learned along the way. Welcome, Krista. Thank you so much. Thanks for the introduction and for having me. So tell us a little bit more about your family background, how long your firefighter has been with the department. So relatively newer as a fire wife and fire mom. My husband graduated from the academy in 2021. So just about almost going on the fourth year now. And we have two kids ages four and two. So your hubby started in 21 in the middle of pandemic. Yes. Yeah. It was super fun. So it was tough, honestly. I mean, obviously none of us knew how long it was going to last. Chicago was pretty strict with the lockdowns right away. And, you know, in real estate, it was a very busy time, which was great career wise. And also we were adapting to the shifts of everything. So, you know, that was very busy. I was also pregnant and had a two year old. And at that time, let's see, I guess he was in the academy right when COVID hit, so 2020. And then he graduated 2021. So he was gone pretty much every day, going to the academy for 2020 while I was home working with, you know, being pregnant and having our other child. And I was pretty isolated, honestly. We did everything with work via Zoom. And especially with my team, we're very, very connected, almost like a second family. So that was a big emotional switch for me. I'm just a person that needs to be around people. I need to have that connection and a vibe off of other people's energy. So it was tough. It was tough Okay. Tell us what it's like in a big city department, like Chicago Fire. We were just talking about this off the air. Chicago still has the, you know, you have to live within so many miles to actually be in the department, which we don't have that out here. There's no way. It's not possible. So give us like a little breakdown of how Chicago Fire operates. Sure. Yeah. So it's, I mean, it's pretty strict rules. Like when he first got into the academy, there was actually somebody that came out to our house and made sure that we lived in the city grounds, came into our house, looked at everything in our house. It was pretty crazy. I had no idea that that was going to happen. I didn't know what to expect there. And then from there on, it was just pretty much known. And I mean, my husband did give me a heads up on that, but you know, we also never knew when exactly he would get called. I think he signed up for the list maybe like seven years ago or something. And so, you know, part of us were like, well, he might not ever get called because you can't get called past 40 years old. But then he did, he got called right in the start of COVID. And, you know, we just knew from there that he was going to accept it and go through it and graduate and be a firefighter in Chicago. And we were going to have to stay in the city for forever, pretty much. So that was definitely another mind shift for me and something I had to adapt to because I'm from Wisconsin. And I think somewhere in the back of my head, I was like, I think maybe we'll move back to Wisconsin and, you know, be closer and be out of the city life. But, yeah, it's not going to happen.
Coin Stories with Natalie Brunell
A highlight from News Block: FASB Change Bullish for Bitcoin, Surging Oil Prices, America's Savings Slump, FTX Liquidations & Ripple Acquires Fortress
"Welcome to the CoinStories news block. I'm Nathalie Brunel and in the span of just 10 minutes, roughly the same time it takes to mine a new Bitcoin block, I'll provide you with concise, insightful updates on Bitcoin and the global financial landscape so you're well informed on the week's top stories. Everything you need to know, in one place, in one block. Let's go. Fair value accounting is officially coming to Bitcoin and this development could mark a turning point for the adoption of Bitcoin at the corporate level. The Financial Accounting Standards Board, better known as FASB, voted unanimously to adopt new rules that would require businesses to report their Bitcoin holdings at fair value, meaning at the current market value. This is a major improvement that will allow companies to recognize both losses and gains on their Bitcoin holdings, just like other financial assets such as stocks and bonds. Prior to this recent FASB decision, companies had to treat Bitcoin as an intangible asset and the way those are reported require the company to record the price it originally paid for the asset, so in this case Bitcoin, and then reassess the value each quarter. If the asset value goes down during that time, the company has to mark the loss on its balance sheet. This is called an impairment loss. But if the value of that asset increases during that time, companies cannot mark the value of the asset back up, so they get hit with all the price drops and don't get to benefit from any of the price gains. And for an asset as volatile as Bitcoin, this has made holding it very prohibitive for companies. When companies have to mark down the value of an asset on their balance sheet, it negatively impacts their earnings report, and earnings often drive a company's stock price, valuation, and overall performance. This problem prompted Bitcoin industry leaders to request that FASB create new rules that would require businesses to use fair value accounting. After FASB declined this request on three separate occasions, it is finally voted to change them. Businesses holding Bitcoin will now get to mark their Bitcoin holdings when the price goes up and down during a quarter, eliminating some of the impairment losses on their balance sheets, and allowing them to more accurately report the value of their Bitcoin. The new FASB rules will become mandatory for all private and public companies beginning in 2025. What used to be a barrier of entry for companies considering buying Bitcoin is now close to becoming a thing of the past. And it's developments like this in the bear market that lay the foundation for the coming bull market. Okay, so soon it will be easier for corporations to put Bitcoin on their balance sheets, and many will need to as we enter what many analysts believe will be a more inflationary decade. A major factor that will influence the inflation picture moving forward is the price of oil, and lately it has been surging. Crude oil is up nearly 25 % in the last three months alone and recently hit a 10 -month high. One reason for the price increase is the combination of increasing demand and falling supply. Last week, OPEC +, the organization of the petroleum exporting countries led by Saudi Arabia and Russia, announced they will extend their production cuts until the end of the year. This latest OPEC Plus announcement comes as global oil supply is at the lowest level since 1985. At the same time, world oil demand recently exceeded pre -pandemic levels and continues to rise. If the demand is rising and supply is dropping, the price will likely continue to go up. And oil is strongly correlated with CPI inflation because it is an important input in nearly all sectors of the economy, from the direct production of goods to transporting them and helping power global supply chains. And when oil prices rise, gasoline prices at the pump typically follow suit, and that's exactly what we're seeing today. The cost of gasoline is a significant expense for households, and prices at the pump have increased year over year for the first time since February 2022. This latest surge in the price of gasoline doesn't bode well for the White House or the Federal Reserve's fight against inflation. Last time gas prices rose, the White House fought that increase by draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to levels not seen in 40 years. And that's our nation's stockpile of oil reserves, meant to be used in case of emergencies. Now the SPR remains depleted, with gasoline prices rising once again. The price of oil remains an X factor in the inflation picture. If these supply and demand dynamics do not improve, we could be entering a period of sustained higher inflation, and in that environment, owning scarce hard assets like Bitcoin is one way investors could potentially protect their savings. And speaking of savings, U .S. households badly need the ability to save and store value into the future. Saving rates are at the lowest level since the global financial crisis. Despite this, people are still out there spending, even though things are getting more expensive. Credit card debt is now at record levels, and the average interest on those credit cards stands at a ridiculously high 28%. This is a worrying trend, and this only serves to increase the fragility in the overall financial system. People are putting things on credit cards because the level of excess savings accumulated during the pandemic has been dwindling. During and even after lockdown, stimulus checks and various fiscal programs sent money directly to consumers, resulting in about $2 trillion in excess savings for U .S. families. This cushion was super useful, especially as the cost of living began to soar over the last three years. But that cushion has been deflating. Households have steadily drained their excess savings for 23 straight months, and now, if the current rate holds, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco expects these savings to run out in the current quarter. If we reach a point where these savings run dry, what happens next? More than half of respondents in a recent Bloomberg survey expect personal consumption to shrink by early 2024. This isn't great news for a consumer -driven economy and, ultimately, for employment. It has never been more evident that these households desperately need a money that holds its value over time and cannot be inflated away. And finally this week, let's touch on some crypto news affecting Bitcoin. Bitcoin's price remaining volatile, dropping back down toward $25 ,000. Some analysts are speculating this is related to fears over a potential liquidation of more than $550 million in Bitcoin connected to the FTX bankruptcy. On September 13, the U .S. Bankruptcy Court will decide whether or not to grant approval for FTX to liquidate billions worth of assets, including everything from cryptocurrency tokens to Bitcoin to beachfront real estate in the Bahamas. Many are speculating that FTX will obtain the green light. In July, FTX stated its intent to repay customers through a liquidation of its assets, so Bitcoin's recent price action could be related to the market beginning to price in this scenario. Another story that is increasing fear in the market is related to cryptocurrency custodian Fortress Trust. Surprising news came out last week that Fortress will be acquired by Ripple Labs, the issuer of XRP, for an undisclosed amount. The question became, why did Fortress sell now? News outlet The Block reported Monday that acquisition talks accelerated after it was revealed that Fortress client funds may have been compromised in a security breach involving a third -party analytics vendor. Fortress reported the incident in a string of tweets on September 7, stating that four Fortress customers were impacted by a security incident, but that no funds were lost. A spokesperson from Ripple told The Block that despite the security incident, the opportunity to buy Fortress made sense for Ripple in the long term, adding, Luckily, Ripple was in a position to act quickly to step in and make customers whole. That statement contradicts what Fortress has said publicly. So was there no loss of client funds as Fortress claims? And what would have happened to Fortress if Ripple had not been ready and willing to acquire the custodian? Now listen to this. BitGo CEO Mike Belshe summarized what happened on X, saying, When Fortress lost funds, they chose to omit facts about what happened, downplay the event, and conclude, most importantly, no funds were lost. Obviously, we now know this was not true. I guess what they meant to say is we believed we fixed the problem and we have taken steps to make sure clients are made whole, but those two statements are not even close to being the same. Now this situation certainly raises a lot of questions. In the aftermath of other high -profile cryptocurrency exchange and custodian bankruptcies, the market's appetite for this kind of news is extremely low. Some of Fortress' clients, including Bitcoin -only exchange Swan, confirmed that their customer's Bitcoin remains in insured cold storage wallets and did not move during this incident. Now we are still waiting for the full details of this acquisition and what exactly happened, but this serves as another important reminder of what can happen when investors trust third parties with their Bitcoin. We will say it again and again, not your keys, not your coins. Taking self -custody of your Bitcoin is the only bulletproof way for you to know with certainty that your Bitcoin is safe and free from counterparty risk. That's it for the News Block, your weekly Bitcoin and economic news update. I'm Nathalie Brunel. Make sure you're subscribed to Coin Stories so you never miss an episode.

A highlight from Get Ready for Laser Season: Dr. Macrene Alexiades on Everything You Need to Know
"This is the RPD podcast where we are always reaching for truth and beauty. Remember, the brands on the show are not paying to be here, so we get to ask the questions you want answered because you deserve to be informed so you can make the best choices for yourself. And with that said, I'm Amber, and today my fabulous cohost is Dr. Makreni Alexiadis. I hope I got that right. She is a fabulous Greece native. By the way, Greece is one of my favorite places in the world. But a Greek name, so I'm hoping I'm pronouncing that right. She also holds three degrees from Harvard, is a practicing dermatologist in New York City and an all -around amazing, brilliant woman. I'm so honored to have you on the show today, Dr. Makreni. How did I do with the pronunciation? Like a native. Like a fellow Greek, I'm so honored. I mean, so, you know, prior to this, you know, when we were just chatting a minute ago, Greece is one of my favorite places in the world. I've been there three times now. Never to skiros where you are, but it is just magical. Are you? You were actually born in Greece. I wasn't born in Greece, but I'm a dual citizen. I spent half my life here, half my life in America, back and forth. And so that has really inspired me and given me a worldly view and a balanced view. And the Greeks, we were taught the Socratic method from birth, which is to question and to probe and to find the meaning of life. So it has really benefited me as a physician and a scientist and a creative and an artist. And I'm grateful to be able to bring that kind of global viewpoint to everyone. I love that. And again, I find that the Greeks of all the places that had been were the most familial, the most warming, the most, you know, come on into my house, come do this. And also the best tomatoes I've ever had in my entire life. Like it's just the best food ever. Thank you. Well, it's sun and believe it or not, not that much water in the summer and soil makes for fruits fantastic and vegetables. So delicious. You know, so listen, full disclosure, we are recording this. It is still summer, but this will air in September. So with that said, you know, I'm so excited to have you here because you are truly an expert in everything lasers. In fact, you told me you were writing a second textbook while you're there in Greece. Yes. I usually take this time when I'm not seeing patients to work on my academics, which is particularly textbook writing, which requires undivided attention. My first textbook is Alexiadis's cosmetic dermatologic surgery that was published by Walters Kluwer. You can get it on Amazon and it is the first of its kind. It's a disorder based text that takes the reader down an algorithm of the best medical cosmetic, which includes injectables, heels and lasers and surgical treatment options. And it's good for both patients as well as colleagues, dermatologists, plastic surgeons, physicians, who really need to know what the gamut is, the panoply of treatment options that are available. And then my second textbook is on photodynamic therapy. That is with the publisher of Selvia. That is the book that I'm finishing right as we speak. And that is an area of specialty of mine as well. In addition to lasers, it's the use of light to cure disease. Oh, I love that. We've been talking so much about different light therapies, red light therapy, blue light therapy. But I'm hoping that today, that you are really known as a laser expert. And since, by the time this airs, last weekend will have been the unofficial end of summer, even though summer doesn't end for like another few weeks, this is a really great time for people to start thinking about different sort of laser therapies that they can do, right? And so I'm just wondering, when we hit the fall, what are some of the most popular things that you were seeing in your offices? Great questions. And you are right. My patients are planned out months in advance. So I do my fall laser planning in the spring. So patients come in the spring, they start to complain about the things that start to present themselves when we start to get sun exposure, such as brown spots, melasma, hyperpigmentation. And those are not conditions you want to treat in the summer, particularly with lasers, because lasers kick up the heat in the skin, and you can get a tanning like result from that. So we pause on the use of lasers for pigment until the fall. So it starts back up pretty much end of September, beginning of October. And the other is, is that lasers against pigment are not as effective in the summer when you're getting all your sun exposure. So it may actually be working, but it looks to the patient as if it's not working because they're tanning in the summer. So all my laser cases are already fully booked all the way through to the holidays. I mean, yes. And you do have, I don't know, are we allowed to name drop? Can you tell any of the celebrities? Well, I think it's like public knowledge. I leave it to my celebrities. If my celebrities want to mention me and give me some love, and some of them do like Sienna Miller, Brooke Shields, and those guys, it's wonderful, Nikki Hilton. But I really adhere very, very, very strictly to HIPAA. And I know like, I mean, people have called me a billion dollar box office success, which I cherish that title. But my lips are sealed and I just, but I derive a great deal of satisfaction, pride and joy actors at keeping and models in their business, in their work, well until their elder years, which is really a source of pride for me. So on that, do you feel like there are certain things that you recommend kind of everybody does? Of course, we all have different skin types. We all have different conditions, but are there certain procedures now that you were loving, especially coming into the fall, clearly we are too late to book with you, sad, sad, but are there things that you are kind of loving out there for people to be doing this time of year? And are there certain treatments that you love for this time of year? There is no end to what I can do. I mean, I have to say, I was at a dinner party that night and one of the ladies was saying how plastic surgeons or dermatologists told her there was like nothing to be done for her. I have to say, I mean, I am fortunate that I have the embarrassment of the riches of knowledge and experience in both injectables and devices, but really there is no end to what I can do. I can treat in the summer. I am just saying that there are certain devices you do not want to do in the summer, such as fractionated devices, Q -switch devices, picosecond technologies, those are better done in the fall, but I have great treats for everyone all summer long. One of my current favorites is radiofrequency microneedling, which I am honored and acknowledged as, single -handedly, the dermatologist, scientist, and laser specialist who brought this whole genre to market. I sought and attained the FDA approval between 2006 and 2010 for the prototype radiofrequency microneedling device. That one was called the Profound. And since then, we have had a huge crop, a whole generation of devices, such as Morpheus is one that people know about. But there are many different types of genius, infamy, intensive, they are utilized in a way that is safe for all skin colors, all skin types, and can be used in the summer months. So that is one of my all -time favorites for skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, rejuvenation, all summer long, with no risk of downtime or hyperpigmentation. Okay, so let's go back to the fall now, right? So because that's what we're kind of, the season we're coming into, good to know though that radiofrequency can be done year -round, what are your fall -specific treatments? What are the things that you're starting to address now, you know? Okay, so come September, you're done with your summer, Labor Day is over, now we're in the saddle, we're looking at this rung of treatment that is really dedicated to this time of year. When you're in September, be aware that there's still this delayed what we call seasonal lag. You can get this first week in October that's very sunny and warm and it really helps you to be outside. So please delay a little bit in treating your brown spots and hyperpigmentation with devices until October, however, in September, I do start to do some rejuvenation on people who I trust and know are really not going to go out in the sun, so that might include intense pulse like IPL, that is great for getting the summer off. All the sun damage you've accrued over the summer, you can start treating in September and if you're somebody who really is not going to go out in the sun, whether it's because you have kids in school or you yourself are working and you know that even if it's an Indian summer, you won't be outside, then you can treat with rejuvenation lasers such as fractionated resurfacing known as Fraxel, picosecond lasers such as Picogenesis or its predecessor, Genesis laser. These are all devices that are great for rejuvenation, for getting rid of sun damage, which you've accrued over the summer in short order so that especially if you can do a trio, which a lot of times these devices are done three months in a row, a month apart, three treatments. If you do September, October, November, you're ready for holidays. You're ready for Thanksgiving and winter holidays. Now I have to ask you, and I don't want to put you on the spot because do you have a lot of these devices in your office? Oh yeah, I have over 50 lasers and devices in my office. So here's where I'm going to put you on the spot then. Is there one that's like kind of your favorite? It's like asking who is your favorite child. Oh no. No, I mean, you know, my girls will tell you, like they're all my favorites. For example, I have specific devices that are my go -to and my favorite for eyelid tightening. So my claim to fame is that I replaced the plastic surgery with devices and injectables, right? And I'm replacing cosmetic procedures with active ingredients through my macrine actives. So that's been kind of the progression of my career over the last, and I have to say I've been in science for over 40 years, so I've been working really hard for many decades, but the progression was initially replacing plastic surgery with devices and injectables. And I go through phases of what my favorites are and then taking all that knowledge and translating it into active ingredients. So ultimately we can do all this at home, but I will just give you some of my highlights. All right, so if you don't want plastic surgery, be on the lookout for skin laxity, in my opinion, other than like having brown spots and sun damage, which of course does, you know, make you look not so great. I think it is equally important to keep an eye out for jowls and loss of the beautiful like elasticity of the skin that you want, especially in the jawline and neck. If you start to see jowls, if you start to see laxity, intervene earlier with non -surgical alternatives so that you don't end up needing surgery. Give you an example, I've been taking care of a classmate of mine from Harvard undergrad that we were class of like 89 and she doesn't look any different than when we were in college. Why? I have her face memorized and she believes in me so much and in the science and what I've done. She comes every four months like clockwork for all these years, 20 years, getting skin tightening with me with radio frequency devices, infrared light. She doesn't have any jowls, of course, a little bit of filler. And then she uses my actives. So if you were to really prioritize devices in my practice, I would say you want to keep on top of two classes of devices. One are the skin tightening technologies, whether it's around the eyes, jawline or neck or body, if you're down to body now. And then the rejuvenation technologies that we just talked about, IPL, fractionated technologies, genesis type devices to keep the sun damage and wrinkles at bay. And then if you need something more aggressive, you can always go to a CO2 laser, which I'm a specialist specialist in that as well. And that really is in my hands, an art form. I tailor the carbon dioxide and the erbium lasers, which are really our Cadillac devices for those who have more significance on damage in most cases or wrinkles and aging. But honestly, even people who have very light skin that starts to wrinkle a little bit prematurely in their 40s, maybe candidates already. And that, too, prevents the need for, say, blepharoplasty, which is eyelid surgery. It may prevent the need for a facelift because it'll give you enough of a strong rejuvenation.

I've never said that about any president in my 40 years of broadcasting he is a loathsome human being in my opinion and it's an interesting question if my opinion is just a partisan opinion But I did not say that about Bill Clinton I did not say that about Barack Obama But I do say that about the Joe Biden My entire life has been spent in the preoccupation with the moral And I put my reputation on the line if he is decent. I'm not Okay That is how? Adamant I am about the man's fundamental moral emptiness and It is matched by the virtually the entire media of the United States which knows that they have a mentally impaired man as president, but they don't give a damn because he's a Democrat and It's it's amazing even the young Turks have come out for him and not running and you can't get any more left than the Young Turks But if the I don't know who else has Among in the Democratic Party all I could tell you is if there were a Republican this impaired It would be the dominant news item in the United States of America How mentally impaired? The president of the United States is and now it just goes without without anybody saying anything Anyway, it is what it is He is Doing his best to ruin this country as I brought to you last week item after item Now I have read I don't know if it is true I have only read that he will again dip into the strategic oil reserve of the United States it's there for emergencies like war or some horrible natural disaster and he keeps using it after banning the mining or the Drilling for oil in the United States so he taps into our reserve and goes to countries that are not our allies or even our allies and He imports the oil from those countries So it is okay for them to drill, but it is not okay for us to

"To hustle and try to make it work. Part of the subtext of your story is that you had the financial means to step away from the business for about a full calendar year in order to do this. And that's just not going to be the case for a lot of people, but I wonder if there is a way to microdose or what if you're. Like if even just the value of a what if weak or a what if month should someone have that luxury can still create the same type of change? Yes. Without question. The original plan and what ended up happening was sort of short sabbaticals from work. Which only was a reality because my husband and I had built a business and we owned that business. And so we were in a position where I could manage enough of what I needed to do nights and weekends and sort of around this period. But I absolutely think any kind of experience anytime that you can make for yourself to try something like this is really worthwhile. It doesn't even have to be an internship or another job. It could be a class, right? Like there are so many online classes. If your whole life, you have been interested in songwriting or composing music, you go on to edX and there's like 50 free courses that you can take. It's going to take effort. If you have kids, you are probably going to have to do it after they go to bed or in the morning before they wake up or on your lunch break. I devoted a lot of resource to this project that time was a huge resource I devoted to this because there was a lot of other stuff in my life that I couldn't just say goodbye to because I was off doing these internships. That included parenting that included being a spouse and that included continuing to make sure the company was running in the way it needed to, even if I wasn't there doing the day to day 9 to 5. But I was desperate to do it. I put in the time I made the time my sleep suffered and lots of other things. So it's not without recognition of the extraordinary amount of privilege I had to be able to do this. But there was a lot of hard work and effort. And I think making the space and the time for your what if course, your what if day, your what if weak? It's so, so vital. There are so many ways I think to push yourself into visualizing what is the life that might look different from your life now that you

"As a mom, I know the importance of sleep and saving money. And to be honest, those two things often go hand in hand. When I put the pampers cruisers 360 on my daughter at night, I don't have to worry about leaky diapers because pampers are the best quality. That means there are more full lengths of rest for everyone, not having to clean up leaky diapers means less laundry, less cranky kids, less cranky mommies, having to switch those sheets in the middle of the night. It is a win win situation, and that is why I love pampers. They are just a smart choice. As you've heard me say before, my diaper on the go bag always filled with pampers. Download the pampers club app today to start earning rewards with every diaper and wipes purchase. Not to mention, you can get free diapers in great parenting content with pampers club. This represents, I think, the bulk of the book, which is sort of the stories of what happened during the period of your being an intern. So if you could just sort of pull out for me either, your favorite story, your favorite memory, biggest mistake, like what in this big period of time, most jumps out to you. Oh God, they're so many. I mean, my biggest mistake, how can I pick just one? I think that I was so bad at so many of the things that I did, which is a really unusual feeling for me. I'm a real striver, and I am a person who has always tried to do this stuff that I'm good at. So all of a sudden working in a hotel in a restaurant where I have to carry plates and use hand eye coordination and remember which table has which dietary requirements. And like, I'm a very clumsy person. So I was bumping into chairs. That was breaking glasses. Like, I spilled an entire bottle of Coke on myself in front of the person I was supposed to serve it to. And then had to finish my shift in that same outfit. I checked somebody into a room or another person was already in there undressed. I mean, the hotel and restaurant internship. God bless them. But the most memorable brought me. That was my dream. And it was cut short. I did it, you know, I left for New York on February 29th, 2020. I was supposed to be there for a whole month. COVID happened, Broadway went dark, but those few weeks sitting in that rehearsal space was everything I always wished and hoped it would be. It was a true dream. And so that has stayed with me. But I have stopped saying no to things just because I'm worried I'm gonna be bad at them. And I have tried to look at them as opportunities to learn to grow. And to be really intentional about putting myself in those situations where I am uncomfortable or I don't know the most in the room where I'm doing something that feels scary because that was the whole point of this. And that was the biggest takeaway for me. I wasn't doing that enough. That was part of why I was feeling. I think just so stuck and so now I am really, it's the conscious effort. It's an everyday effort to not feel stuck again. And I think that's a big part of it. I want to know when it became clear to you that this was a book or that you were interested in putting this into a book. But I'm also interested in books are not easy to get published. What did that require a view? How did you make that happen? Hard work and luck, like everything, right? Like definitely both in almost equal measure. At the very beginning, in this kind of girls weekend, one of my college roommates had suggested I read a book about this and we had a title. She was like, call it the 40 year old intern, you'll do it for your 40th birthday. I was like, yes, I love it. And I loved you bought the Instagram. You bought, but you registered for the Instagram handle. Had the Instagram, I bought the domain. I did all the things I was like, I love this. This is my new brand. 40 year old intern, this is what I'm doing. I was only 38, but it didn't matter. I was still going to be the 40 year old winter. So there was kind of this idea, but I really did not take it very seriously because I love books. I've always loved books. But just the idea that I could write a book did not seem at all feasible to me. It's like a lot of words, a lot of pages and not something I had ever done. But as I would try to tell people what I was doing and really try to make the space to do it. So to tell the headmistress that my kids school that I wasn't going to be on the parent council next term because I was going to New York to sit in on some Broadway and off Broadway shows, you know, I found that if I sent people, oh, and I'm going to write a book about this at the end. They were like, oh, okay. Well, you have a goal. So the fact that there's an outcome to this that's not just your personal fulfillment makes it so much more palatable to everybody. So then it started to be like a convenient excuse. And I did some pretty heavy journaling throughout, but mostly because I didn't want to forget it, but it was not anything I really took seriously. Until probably the first lockdown, I got back at my husband was like, are you going to write something about, you know, you're going to pull this together? What about this book ideas that still happening? And I was like, no, it's too raw. I'm miserable. I can't believe we had to leave New York. I can't believe the kids are not in school. And I did not feel emotionally like I could go back and look on that time. But I had a lot of spare time in the evenings after the kids are in bed and there was no going out and no seeing other people where I then went back to those notes in those journals and started to write and started to put some ideas together and pretty soon I had a section that I had written about about this time in my life that was now going back to it, like pretty bad, but you know, it was something it was finished. I had written it and it was done. And so I kept that up as I went along, I wrote after every internship when I finished the last internship and then I felt like I kind of knew how my story ended. I went back and relooked at everything else. And then I realized I had written like 80,000 words. I was like, all right, this is something that could be a book. And then I did what I do for everything in my life. I made a spreadsheet. I wrote down every single agent that I thought would possibly be interested in this. But always with this, the experience was enough. It's okay if this doesn't become anything else because this was already enough for me. But I've done all this work. So let's see what's going to happen. And I queried 41 different agents. And I just got a few rejections and a lot of ghosting, like a lot of people just never wrote me back. But I kept it up just like finding the internships. I figured maybe it was a numbers game, but all the while kind of making these other plans for my life that had nothing to do with writing. And then finally, an agent wrote me back and she was like, let me see the rest of what you've got. She asked to represent me and we did a lot of work on editing the book. But my publishing process was completely like a Cinderella story because in the meantime, while I had been writing in lockdown and doing all these things, I had gotten the advice that a debut writer, no profile to speak of online, needed to have some other published writing under their belt. And so I started working on essays like short es that were kind of little snippets from the book. And I found this woman named zimmy Owens on Instagram and CB had a small essay blog at the time called moms don't have time to write. So I submitted the essay, and she wrote back within like 24 hours in her very patented zip energy. She was like, I love this. I'm gonna publish it. Let's get on a Zoom call. Let's figure out what this is all about. We kept in touch, I published another piece with them, I told her, have an agent, you know, this is very exciting for me. And as we were getting the package ready that was gonna go out to different publishers, I got a two line email from zip that just said, I'm starting my own publishing company. Have you sold your book yet, if not, I want to publish your book. So they launched a company. They signed me and my book is going to be the first book out that they published, which so it's like a startup publishing company, startup book, but it's been so exciting. I have felt so supported. I do not think I have had the traditional publishing experience from what I hear from other people, because I've had like a community with me the whole time, and that has been an amazing, amazing feeling. But nothing about this is traditional. I mean, it was a risk. Once the book was out and we were like, okay, we're going to do this. Whatever I do, I throw myself into a 100%. So once I was doing the book, I was like, right, we're going to do this book. We're going to do it right. But I was up for the ride because I'm going to see where this goes that I'm going

"Alicia, hi. Hi. I'm so excited to be here. I can't even tell you. Alicia, I want to start with how you and I know each other, which is that we went to college together and because our names are oddly similar, Alicia Menendez, Alicia Fernández people would like bring me your mail Alicia. I'm so sorry for that. Did I even get an email? I think this is for you. And I'm like, look at the letters. They're different. I have actually the most vivid memory of meeting you for the first time. I think it was at like a mixer for the women's studies department, the formerly known as women's studies department. And I feel like you were in sweatpants and you just were like very cool and relaxed and really smart and I was like, we have the same name and she seems awesome. This could be bad for me. Alicia, I think what was so interesting to me about reading your book is that in the years that have followed our knowing one another and being friends in college, I watched your life progress as I watched so many college friends life's progress via Facebook and Instagram. And on Facebook and Instagram, your life looked truly perfect. Sort of early love, what seemed like a really happy great marriage. These two cute little kids, a career that was thriving and blooming. And all of that was true. Was true. It wasn't a lie. Was true, was not a lie. Tell me about that sort of, is there a moment or there a series of moments where you realize this isn't it? This is not enough. I can pick out little snippets almost like a movie if I was watching scenes. The beginning of 2018, I went to Davos to the World Economic Forum, which for me was like a big career goal. In my field, to be able to go to the World Economic Forum at Davos was really like a Pinnacle moment and I was there and thinking I should have been enjoying myself and it was very cold and I was miserable and it just felt it felt empty. It felt not right. And so I spent a long time trying to figure out how to engineer it so it did feel right. I was like, no, no, no, I just need some more hobbies or I need some more time with my kids or I need to take up knitting because that's really what's going to make me feel. I need to do all this self care. But there is this nagging feeling all the time. I need to do something else. This isn't right. And I was terrified. I was terrified of what that kind of change would mean because my life was objectively great, you know? I have had and have my wonderful husband, my kids are kids, but generally delightful. And I have all the professional success that I had ever wanted, and it just wasn't enough. And it felt like, am I really going to throw a bomb into this very carefully organized and planned life and do something that I have no idea what the outcome would be? And so that was like a slow process, I think, was definite moments in between. And then it kind of got to the point where it felt like I could not do it because I felt like I was drowning. And I was upset. I was sad. I was crying all the time. I was like, I have to do something. It's got to be big. Here is this insane idea to go do a whole bunch of internships. This has got to be the thing, or else, you know, what am I going to do? Tell me about how this idea came together of this being a slate of internships because I think a lot of our listeners have had that moment of great unhappiness and we talked to other Latinos who have either gone traveling for a year with their family or have left their corporate job to start their own thing. I don't know that anyone has ever done something as experimental. How did this idea come together? The idea that was in my head forever was this desperate need to somehow want to understand and be part of the field of musical theater. I know that there's, you know, Miami has I suppose a burgeoning musical theater culture, but not really known for it out of small circles, but my parents were both obsessed with musicals, including my Cuban dad who grew up in high Aaliyah, but when he married my mom, they started listening to musicals together. So I just, I've loved. I've loved musicals forever. And I would go to see a musical and I'd be walking out with this buzz. I'm thinking, I would do anything. Actually anything to be part of this. I would just go and get coffees for people. But it was very facetious. Like, oh, this is like, that's never actually going to happen. And then I had this very transformational girls weekend with two of my college roommates. We were very much in this vein of like, what would you do? If we were kind of like had a few more teenies and I was like, you know what? I would love to be an intern on Broadway. That's what I want to do. Then we left and we all went back to our normal lives, but for me, then that idea was like in my head like, maybe I could do this. But it took 8 months at least of life working that out in my head, feeling there was no way I could do it because it was insane. And this was kind of coinciding with this feeling of just desperation. I needed to shake up my life. I had to do something different. And so I talked about it mostly as a joke with people like my husband and my family, and finally it was just like, I was really a moment of my husband. He was like, why aren't you doing this? He was like, just do it. Stop talking about it. And just do it. Figure out when you can do it. Take a month off, we'll figure it out with the kids. Just put in the calendar, set yourself a goal, that's always what I have to do. I have to have a goal. And then let's work toward it. And that was really the beginning of them thinking, okay, if this is a project, how am I going to do it? What fields would I want to work in? Who do I know? How am I going to take it forward? What did that outreach look like? Because I've tried to draft the email that you must have written in my head several times. And it's like, hey, I'm Alicia. I have an amazing business and a Harvard degree, and I want to be your intern. It's like, all right, this is a fishing expedition. It was not dissimilar for man. In fact, you could have basically just changed the spelling of our names and you more or less would have to email that. To people. You know, I tried a lot. I did like a full resume. And I kind of explained it up front. I was like, this is an unworthy box request. I want to come in and learn about what you do. This is my background. I've made very clear that I was willing to do actually anything. Like, I will file papers. I will get coffee for people. I will sweep up trash. I'll do anything you want. I just kind of want to have this life experience. Would you consider it? And for the most part, nobody wrote me that. I mean, I can't even tell you how hard it was to get an unpaid internship. I think that's an important point in life, Alicia, which is I used to think that you would write one email, and say, can you please be my mentor and the person who's right back and be like, I'd love to be your mentor. And it's actually people just sometimes don't even it's not even that you got to know. It's that the amount of outreach for basically anything. And the accepting of people are not going to close the loop because they're busy too. That does not mean that you should stop going. No, no. I mean, being a consultant is good training for rejection all the time I think. So I figured it was a numbers game, right? Like if I reached out to enough people, if I sent enough emails, people would write me back. I asked Friends, I want to LinkedIn like a crazy person. I was like, does anybody know anybody who knows anybody who does any of the things that I want? And in the end, it ended up being people that knew me, people that trusted me enough to say, yeah, this is strange, unorthodox. But we know Alicia, we know she's going to do a good job. Let's

"And. So I still do that every night. I can't. I still do it. Well, there's a lot less group think back then, too, where if you like something, unless your friends like also agreed that they liked it. You didn't really know who else liked it. So you would gravitate toward these things. A good example would be like, I love, I love that SportsCenter anchor. But you had no idea if like a million other people love them. You just oh yeah, you didn't feel like when you went to the movies, you didn't really know if they were good or not till Monday. Because the people on Friday went to the movies. And when they came to work on Monday or they came to school on Monday, they said it was either great and hilarious or not. And movies for a lot longer in theaters. So, you know, you actually did sort of like discover them. That began to change by the time you could tell me what year was big was that 86, 87 big was 88. Yeah. Yeah, so it's still pre phones, but it was by that time it was huge home video was already going off. It all the budgets were there. Any time a movie came out, everybody who was in it went off on a kind of like a I was called at the celebrity meal train. It was a monthlong dog at pony show where you went all over America first and then all over Europe later on. And everybody wanted to talk to you. And everybody wanted to cover it. Everybody wanted to. It was coin to the realm. I mean, it was like there was like as much of a commodity to the economy as was crude oil or a new model car that was suddenly selling a lot or not solving water. Well, there was also, it's funny, Keaton, I just talked about this because he had Batman in 89. There was that whole infrastructure that was moving in place, right? Where we had blockbuster we rewatched the movies. But then you had that premiere magazine kind of culture where for the first time I knew what movies were coming and the cast and incisions. I remember bonfire of the vanities, which was huge. That was the movie. Yeah. There was so much anticipation for who the three were going to be and you were one of the stars and Melanie and that kind of people were ready to get mad if it wasn't good. And then with that one, that took that movie took a lot of shit. Oh, you know, oh, my God did it, but, you know, when we were doing it, Brian, a Palma directed at what I said, look, Brian, this movie is either going to be Gone with the Wind. That everybody loved or the fountain head that everybody hate it. This is gonna be binary, man. Because the book itself, you know, Tom, by the way, it came out just like, I'm going to say 50 years ago today or 40 years ago today is something. The book. The book itself, it's the story of the interior thoughts of everybody. And visually, it's about like styrofoam peanuts, rattling rattle around in the back of a car. And that stuff's hard to capture cinematically. And, you know, the book was so huge that so many anticipations. I had before we even started making it. I had people Saying, you are not Sherman McCoy.

"Friday my reflejo where continuing our conversation with dr anthony. Fauci about forty years of hiv and aids in the us. How much we've learned. How much is is still unknown about the illness that was so frightening for decades ago. I wanna play a clip from another science friday. Show twenty six years ago back in nineteen ninety five. You're on the show with bob. Gallo who code discovered that hiv was the virus responsible for aids. And in this show. We talked about the latest. Hiv aids treatments that had been discovered and discussed all the things. We still don't know about the virus. This was twenty six years ago. And i brought up the point that it seemed like. There's a lot we don't know about the human immunity system and how hiv plays into it compared to how much we know about other systems in the body. And that got some pushback from both of you. Pop gallo does this mean we really don't understand the human the human immunity system that well very often scientists will say we don't know anything we don't know much we're just scratching the surface. I feel on a relative scale. We quite a bit about hiv relative to other viruses. And i think the field of is rather well developed field However you can you can make the argument away way. Somebody says we know nothing. You can argue. That's ridiculous so you can say we know an awful lot say the same thing but being more i'd rather punt that right to dr fauci took issue with with the with the point that was made that we know everything about all other other systems but we don't know much about the immune system. I disagree strongly with that. I mean if you look at the neurological system which we know a lot. There are more mysteries in the neurological system. Then you could even imagine and the endocrine system variety of systems. I don't think the immune system is any much further off in the amount we understand. Don't understand. I think the point that made is a very good point and i think that's the reason there's a lot of confusion. We know an awful lot about hiv. We know how the virus works. We know how the virus destroys the body's immune system but we don't know everything and that's the reason why the kinds of discoveries that was made by bob and others most recently adds more to the store of knowledge but to say that we know very very little about it i think is is is over exaggerating or to say that we know everything is certainly on naive. Oversimplification with making step-by-step progress. There's a ways to go but we do know an awful lot about it. First of all dr fauci. It's great to be reminded that you've been a straight talker for all of these years and not afraid to speak your mind of in hindsight. Did we know a lot about hiv at this time. Yes we did know an awful lot about at one of the things that the as the years went by ira that really was i say A little bit disturbing if not quite disturbing. Was that the full realization. That when you present the antigen and the form of an envelope trimmer or on whatever mechanism you're using in your vaccine platform that the body doesn't make broadly neutralizing antibody and when you have a virus. That continually mutates and changes because of the pressure of the immune system. That you've gotta get anybody's that are broadly neutralizing to all rations of the virus when you get a disease like measles. Measles doesn't change a heck of a lot over decades much less within a person over a period of months to years. So that's why you just need anybody's against the appropriate component of the virus to block it. That was the thing that we still don't know yet. Ira exactly how to induce broadly neutralizing antibodies against hiv. Our getting any closer. We are. And i think we're getting closer because we're using very sophisticated technology of structure based vaccine design whereby using cry electron microscopy and looking at the right confirmation. That would in fact trigger the b. cell lineage. So that you can actually trigger the appropriate lineages to coax it along to get to the point of making broadly neutralizing antibodies. That might require an approach. Back sinology that we've never had to do before is to give sequentially immunizations with a modified form of the image in to continue the path to broadly neutralizing antibodies. So you're saying Just constantly giving people booster shots. Well yeah sorta i mean. Version of a booster shot. Will you bring it to one point of differentiation. And then you bring it to the next so that you get to the point where you really do have broadly neutralizing antibodies. And how far along are you on this. How are they going to be human trials on this. I believe so. I mean there are certainly the only human trials that have gone to face. Three are the ones that are not going. After broadly neutralizing antibodies that are going after other types of immune responses. But the ones that are going to be going for the broad neutralizing antibodies are in phase one trial and hopefully when we get enough information. Proceed to face to way to be. And then ultimately the face three compared to forty years ago our collective worry about hiv aids has largely down of course put. It hasn't gone away. I mean i want to cite a two thousand nineteen report where more than half of new hiv diagnoses in the. Us happened in southern states. And of those african american men made up a disproportionate number of those cases. How did this dramatic demographic shift happen. Well it happened. I believe because of the accessibility of counseling accessibility to crap accessibility to.

"Life. But it's totally unlivable. The air pressure. There is really high. Like what you'd find deep in the ocean here on earth has these hurricane force winds that just blow constantly and a very thick atmosphere with lots of carbon dioxide and even clouds of toxic sulfuric acid that trap heat so even though mercury is closer to the sun. venus is actually the hottest landed at around nine hundred degrees. So we're not we're not going to send probes down to the surface with a rover and like we've done on mars right that's right. It's a really difficult planet. Descended over to the other has been spacecraft of winning on surfaced before because of the heat the conditions there the spacecraft didn't last very long only less than two hours actually so we are sending missions to venus. But yeah won't be. It won't be a rover mission like we did with mars because we're really interested in those mysterious clouds and there were there were hints recently that there might be life in there somehow right. We have a lot of questions about venus's atmosphere also the surface of venus and so these two missions the first is called davinci and that's spacecraft. That will care shoot down to the surface of venus and take measurements in images in study the composition of its atmosphere on the way down. Either were there was a publication last year that scientists in which scientists claimed that they might have found traces of life in the atmosphere around venus and those results have since been contested. It's not really clear if that's the case but that study will help us determine you know kind of once fall whether that that's possible and then the second mission very toss that's an that's gonna move around the planet and use radar to map the terrain and the elevations of venus's surface and use infrared to figure out what kind of rocks are down there. And whether they're still volcanic activity on venus right. That's great there's a there's other cool space news. We learned this week that a piece of space debris hit the international space station. Whoa.

"So that's very loving and very caring. He wants me to have what i want and i want him to have what he wants. And that's what you do as a parent but spouses don't often do that for each other. I mean a mom and dad will do anything to give their children everything. They want to get what they want. The best education is this a car when they all the stuff that you possibly can do for your children but we don't sometimes apply that to our spouse and if we did a little more of that for our spouse even. I know from women that. I've met even to the point where the husband realizes that the wife really wants to go back to school and they need to find money in the budget for the wife to go back to school and often when the money is allotted. It's for the children to go to school. And this and that but sometimes the wife wants to go back to school and to find a way to make that possible for her is a very big act of love and accommodation. And i've known a lot of women who have been in that position and marriage counseling. Yes that's a real act of love you know when one partner feels a little bit threatened about whatever reason and suggests marriage counseling that that really says i love you and i'd like this to last. That was a that. Revelation happened draft bryan cranston and his wife. Robin dearden and and neil patrick. Harris and david burqa several couples Do marriage counselling and it says. It's it's really helped them. Bryan cranston caused a tune-up. We need a tune-up with the marriage counselor. Yeah i mean what's interesting is also marlow what you just described as wanting for your partner. What so often apparent is seen as wanting for their children and being there to help figure out how both people can be fully expressed can be confident can be alive and be themselves in the relationship. I think that's so powerful. What's interesting to me is that is the reimagining of marriage from what you saw the model to be growing up. This was sort of redefining it as no. This is the way that i can understand being in this type of relationship but reimagining as something that is more more equal more more generous rule near room ear. The definition that i grew up with was it was a very tight place. And it didn't have any you know windows open. When we were married and still commuting. I had an aunt who said to me. That's not a marriage. And i thought to myself this is why never married. Because there's such a tight definition of marriages. In other words marriage people live in the same city. If you're living in two different cities and you commuting back and forth in her mind that was not a marriage and that was helpful to me to realize. That's what we did. We define marriage for ourselves. And that's what everybody has to do. When i was a student.

Bennett became just like you would on a double date. You know one can't do all the talking. Everybody talks and when everybody starts talking they start revealing things. And it's it's fun you know when we started out. We said this can't be a how to book 'cause a how to book would be like a pamphlet. It's really a what book. What did you do when this happened. What what did curious sedgwick and kevin bacon do when they lost all their money to a to a birdie made off know what what did jesse jackson jackie jackson do when he had a baby out of wedlock in. What did chris. guests do. And jamie lee curtis. He found out. Jamie lee curtis had an addiction problem. I mean what did each and then how do they get back. And what did the solid burgers do when her phone at home rang and the voice on the other end said. Your husband just landed his plane in the hudson river. I mean of course. The world fell on their house. And how do they adjust to that. So we're all of the couples had and it was. It was fun to talk to like. Salaam burger and john mcenroe and patty smyth. So we're in. Jimmy carter and roslyn carter all kinds of people from all walks of life and when we got off the road fill said the thing he noticed was what oh. Both people wanted the marriage that you can't have one person kind of dragging the other along in the relationship. Yeah it really does take. It seems fundamental. Now that i think a parrot both partners have to want the marriage equally. 'cause i know i'm sure you've seen it. Jonathan as we have in many marriages one person that sort of doing all the accommodating putting it all together making life interesting inviting people over you know trying to you know making up being the one that makes up. All the time of that. Those marriages don't work because the other person just feels the person that's doing all the giving and the fixing becomes exhausted and has no nourishment both people have to be nourished. That's what nourishes the marriage and we figure that out along the way the one person can't be the one that always says i'm sorrier or says. Let's try to fix this. That that can't be both people have to to make accommodations for that. The other person is not you and they're going to have different desires and different needs and each person has to accommodate. That and i think accommodation was one of the words that we came off the road with and thought and i had never thought of that word before that it really is. One of the secrets to a happy marriage is a happy accommodation that you say no what. This is what he needs. This is what he wants. This is which who she is. This is what she has to do. If you don't have that kind of thing you know. I remember one time. I was very very busy and running around sort of mad cap. And friend of my. This friend told me a male friend who was our friend of both of us said to feel. Oh my god. Doesn't that drive you crazy that she's running around like dead and and phil said to this. Man don't rain on her for a and that's so touchy. Do you remember that. Check senators and so touched me. That phil had said that to him without me and earshot said don't rain.

We were married thirty nine and was around our thirty nine anniversary and we said how does that happen. When are you safe. If you're going to get a divorce after twenty six twenty seven years so we started talking about that. What what did they do wrong. What did we do right. And how how do people stay together. We didn't know especially people who are one of them is not backing down but a both of them are very involved in the marriage and so we decided to talk to a lot of people that have been married a long time because you can't learn from seven married five years but you got to you know once you've been married twenty years you've got something you can say something that you've learned and so that's what we decided to do for people around the table and you know we thought maybe the interviews would go fifteen minutes now. We did not. I figured they'd be about an hour but they were like three hours. We'll the team. And finally i would say i'm sorry but we really have legal but it was you know when we opened up. They opened up. It was easier for them to talk with us about personal issues. And i think it made the interviews more interesting well. I don't think they would have ever been successful if we hadn't in fact when we decided to do it was my idea and phil wasn't all that forward. Because he said to me. I don't wanna talk about our marriage. We've always been private about this. I don't want to talk about it. And i said to him. I mean you learn after forty years that you're not gonna have your mate disseminator i want to do so i said you don't have to. I'll talk about what i want to talk about. They'll talk and you'll be there to ask questions and so forth but as we got started it was so fun and it was so much like a double date that you know if billy crystal.

I say i hadn't seen this show and the way he orchestrated the whole thing. It's such confidence. He was interviewing me with a lot of confidence and savoir-faire then he jumped off the stage and ran into the audience and talk to them and then he took a call from a caller. I mean he just was like a conductor of an orchestra. Not a qualm about anything. Any comeback to go back to them huge amount of confidence. Confidence is sexy..

"Dive in. I began this journey on. April twenty-seventh nineteen eighty-one at twelve o one. Am according to whether underground. It was fifty six degrees and partly cloudy in new york city when i arrived at twelve o one am and as far as i can tell from the weather data from that day that day. It saw a high of sixty seven. It was a perfect day at the end of april since that day my life like yours has been far from perfect or normal whatever. Those words even mean the older i get the more difficult. It is to clearly remember specific moments from my past weird for someone who teaches history and is interested in the past as i was preparing this episode. I i thought about taking the approach that after forty years. I didn't really know anything. But the more i thought about it. I realized i know an awful lot. Like i've talked about here before. It's my experiences that have taught me so much. I have screwed up and failed so many times. You might wonder how. I am even still here after. I share some of these stories from the last forty years. It's a wonder i'm still alive. And that's what i'm going to do. I have some stories. And i'm going to share them and i believe that through my experiences. You will be entertained and educated if not we'll return to our regularly scheduled format in episode one seventy nine so if this is your first episode. This is not the norm but welcome. I'm glad you're here. This might be a great place to start first up through ice. I had a great childhood after four trips around the sun. I was blessed with a baby brother. I wasn't the best older brother i did. My fair share of teasing and bed. Big brother things to torment and torture him. Sometimes i still do. He returned the favor on more than one occasion as well for the better part of my childhood. My mom worked evenings as a pediatric nurse and my dad changed careers from teaching high school. Math to working with computers for international banks as he shared back in episode one hundred teaching at that time in the late seventies. And when i was born in nineteen eighty-one teaching didn't really allow him to provide for his family as he wanted to. He gained family but how to walk away from his passion and love of teaching in a school. Both my parents taught me many lessons as a child. They instilled in me a love of learning and a desire to help others. When i was nine or ten. I remember my parents going on a trip. There was a business trip that my dad had on. I think he went to norway or finland somewhere not anywhere close to where we lived. My mom went with him and left him in. My brother left him left me and my brother at home with my dad's parents my grandma and my pop up and they were to watch us for a week. It was the middle of winter. Not too far from my house was wooded area. That was used for sledding bike riding countless games of manhunt and capture the flag. It was a lot of fun the closest i could get to being tom. Sawyer guess there was also a lake or it seemed like a lake. It was a large body of water. That probably wasn't the best but one of the days. My brother and i were down in the woods it had snowed that was cold and With our friends we decided that it would be a fun idea to try and walk out on the ice and see how far we could go out there. Well i didn't get ten to fifteen feet out onto the ice when the ice gave way and i went in and i went under and while i die. Clearly i'm here doing this episode years later This is my earliest memory of taking a risk and because of that risk something went wrong for many years. I looked back on that moment. And i wondered what i was destined for. Since the journey didn't end there time for change newsflash being a teenager is not easy. I work with them every day. Right i spent most of my teenage years chasing love chasing athletic success and the ever elusive popular kid status. Could you hear my air quotes around the word popular. If i use what. I know about teacher evaluations. I was partially effective. In all of those areas. I found love near the end of highschool. Again more air quotes. I enjoyed my baseball career but didn't go to play at any level beyond high school and i didn't find out until it was all over that i was popular. I was well liked. But i was too close to everything to see all my high school. Experience was truly positive but the further away. I get from high school the more. I wonder how much i was truly prepared to enter the world after high school like so many i was in high school. Bg you know before. Google using a computer in high school for me meant. I was in a computer class. Learning about microsoft word excel powerpoint and access. Have you ever done anything access. I haven't done anything in access since then shows just goes to show you how valuable making a databases looking back on it all. I was successful. Because as i look back i played the game of school. I wasn't a troublemaker. And i was well liked by my teachers. Do i look back. And wish. I had a time machine and i could go back and punch myself in the face. Well there are a few moments. I wish i could go back and modify but certainly that would change everything about the president. I've seen back to the future. I've seen the butterfly effect so traveling back in time won't fix the past and it on the present in middle school. Here's again a story of failure in middle school. I made changes to a teacher's physical great book. I didn't change my grades for the better but it changed the grades of people. I knew some of which weren't even my friends. But i made their grades better. I learned a valuable lesson about integrity. Honesty and respect in high school through social trials and tribulations. I learned how to navigate people or so. I thought it wasn't until i finished high school like so many others that i began to realize how little the opinions of other people truly mattered. That's something that sticks with me to this day. It's not about what other people think. It's about what we think about what we do and who we are that counts the most reality check my twenty s. Were certainly a fun time roaring. Maybe i'll let you know when i reflect back on my twenties when i'm fifty.
