A Young Fire Spouse's Journey With Her Husband's Cancer Diagnosis
"A few episodes back we sat down with Diane Carter and she shared her story of her husband's line of duty, panther diagnosis, and her relentless pursuit of making turnouts safe and just exploring PFAS and all that fun stuff about exposure in the workplace. If you haven't listened to that podcast, we definitely recommend it. And today we actually have another first responder spouse, Brittany San Pedro with us to share her story about her husband's line of duty cancer diagnosis. Brittany, welcome. Thank you for having me. Brittany San Pedro is a speech therapist assistant, wife to a firefighter and a mom. She has been with her husband for 10 years and has an 18 month old and another one on the way. In late October of 2019, Brittany's husband at the age of 30 and 10 years into his career noticed a small lump on his collarbone. After several tests, he was diagnosed with stage two Hodgkin's lymphoma. He was the first line of duty cancer diagnosis in the history of Greeley fire department. Since then, many changes to screening and early detection have been made as a department. As a result, several malignant polyps, skin samples and ultrasound readings have potentially saved the lives of other firefighters within the department. Today, Brittany is sharing her story to help anyone who may feel alone or scared, especially after a health diagnosis. She also wants to encourage change and promote the importance of regular screenings and early detection. Okay. So tell us your story a little bit, the whole thing. We want to hear it. My husband came home one day and just kind of mentioned like, Hey, I got out of the shower at work and I just noticed I had a bump on my collarbone. And he's like, you know, I haven't had my yearly physical. I'm going to go in, have it checked out. And you know, none of us, we weren't really worried. And we were just kind of like, okay, he has a bump. We're going to go check it out. And his general practitioner ran blood work and then started him on antibiotics thinking it was just an infection. His body was fighting something and blood work came back fine. It didn't go down with the antibiotics. At that point, they did an X -ray. Everything looked fine. The blood work looks fine. And his general practitioner asked him what he did for a living. And you know, you fill out that survey, you tell him what you do. And he's like, you know what? We're going to, we're going to keep going. We're going to keep looking. If you're fine with that. You're a firefighter. It just makes me sit better if I, if I keep digging a little bit. And he kept going in for appointments. He then got an ultrasound done. After the ultrasound, he scheduled an appointment for a biopsy to have it looked at. And at this point we hadn't even heard the word cancer yet. I at the time was a special education teacher at a school across the street from the hospital where he was having the biopsy done. He texted me and let me know he was going in. He was super nervous. I let my co -teacher know, Hey, my husband doesn't usually have his feelings out like that. And lets me know that he's there. He's like, that's fine. Go. I ran across the street and he went back. Everything was fine. He came back out and then he just had this look on his face that I'll never forget his eyes started welling up with tears. And I guess the doctor who performed the doctor tech who performed the biopsy, you know, before his doctor had a chance to say anything told him, yeah, this is pretty typical for lymphoma. And both of us were just kind of like, what is happening? What's going on? We were hit by a bus. We didn't even know that this is something that they were looking for. And we called our closest friends, our little mini fire family. And we were like, Hey, we need support tonight. And in a minute, everybody was together at one of our friends house and everybody was just talking trash about the guy who stepped out of his scope of practice and said some things he maybe shouldn't have. And we were like, it's not going to happen. He's too young. He's healthy. There's no way. So a couple of days went by, we got a phone call saying that the doctor wanted us to come in, even though it was his day off and usually not a great sign. So we were a little nervous going in. And then when we sat down, he let us know that they, they did find it to be Hodgkin's lymphoma and that they needed to start figuring out what stage he was at coming up with a plan, trying to figure out everything. And we were both strong until they asked us, you know, are you guys, you guys are young. You guys just got married, just bought a house. Like you, are you guys wanting to start a family at some point? And I just started bawling because I already knew what was coming. And he said, I recommend that you reach out to a fertility specialist, if that's something that you would want to do. And you start reaching out to all your resources. And we did, after that, he started chemo in like less than a week. It was probably like four or five days. And he had chemo, he had it on Christmas. He had it, like he started in November, had it for about six months and then took a little bit of a break and then started radiation. And then after he went through radiation, his end date was March 14th, 2020. And then right after that, the next day the world shut down, but it was just, you know, for us, it was just amazing because he never, we never went to an appointment alone. It was just such a somber time. We were just had this dark cloud of stress and not knowing and anything. And at the same time when it was so dark, such a beautiful thing, because we had the department bringing rigs and down we packed that cancer center and, you know, we had some of his best friends, like his best man and another Lieutenant was there at every single one of his chemo appointments. And, you know, everybody kind of band together for him. It was kind of, it was a beautiful thing to see everybody supporting each other and making sure that he was never alone. You know, the Terry Farrell Fund reached out right away. You know, they did a cut it for cancer for him. It was just something that they hadn't ever experienced before at the, this department. And we were, we were just kind of overwhelmed with all the support that we had,

Brittney Sampedro on Husband's Line-of-Duty Cancer Diagnosis in Colorado
"So lymphoma is a very common cancer in the fire service, right? I did a little deep dive, maybe not super deep dive, but I definitely looked at some of the statistics for firefighters specifically. It's crazy. If you ever research it, which I'm sure you probably did at this point, the female firefighters, I did not know how like a 600 % increased risk of breast cancer. That's wild. Wow. And then firefighters have obviously a significant increased risk of cancer as they progress throughout their career. So at the 20 year mark, gets a little more at the 30 year mark, it gets a little more. So cancer is not uncommon in the fire service at all. But you said that the department specifically would never say for certain that it was because of his exposures to chemicals on the job or their gear containing the PFOAS. So was he eligible for any kind of benefit or anything from job related cancer? It's not covered under like a workman's comp type of thing. Colorado has something called the Colorado Cancer Trust. So it's departments that elect to put money into an account that say like, there's an eligibility criteria. He had been a firefighter at that point in 2019 for 10 years. So he was eligible to say like, yes, he's had enough exposure to have been at risk to have this type of cancer that is known or more common for firefighters. So lymphoma was on there. I know testicular cancer is a big one too for men. I didn't know breast cancer for women, but there is an eligibility criteria. They don't come out and say that this is work related. And the department and the everybody who works for Greeley Fire was amazing. They all covered his shifts. So he was able to go through treatment. He had to step offline for a while. And then when the pandemic hit, he kind of was forced to sit at a desk for a little bit just because his immunity was still really low. But I don't even think that there was something written out that like, what happens if a firefighter has cancer? It was just kind of like the guys, everybody at the department banding together and being like, I got your shift. I got your next shift. And they got it all figured out for us. But there was never like a, like, this is work related is workman's comp. It's a, it's a work related issue. It was kind of a separate, you know, like having the cancer trust and then having the Terry Farrell fund reach out to, knowing that it could be a job related cancer. So Colorado is not a presumptive cancer state then. Yeah, that's what it sounds like. And it's crazy to me that in 2023, after all of these studies that there are States that don't have that presumptive cancer legislation. It blows my mind.

"It says, when Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an evil spirit came from the tombs to meet him. The man lived in the tombs and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain. But he comes out to meet Jesus and then it says, when he saw Jesus from existence, he ran. He didn't just walk, he didn't say, this is interesting, what's this guy? He runs to Jesus and he fell on his knees in front of him, which is the posture of worship. But then it says, he shouted at the top of his voice, what do you want with me? Jesus, son of the most high, swear to God that you won't torture me. This is a mark of somebody who actually sees the real Jesus. This is the first step to healing. If you see the real Jesus, you're attracted to him. I don't know how many people have come here and over the years have told me this, they say, I don't believe in Christianity, I don't believe at all, but I can't stop coming because when you talk about Jesus, I'm attracted to him. I don't believe in him, I can't believe in him. I'm an intelligent person, but I'm attracted to him. That shows that you're at least looking. Anybody, regardless of your intellectual position, if you actually expose yourself to the narratives about him, you will see him unique, you will be amazed, you will be attracted to him. But at the same time, he kneels down and he says, I think you're gonna kill me. Because when you get near Jesus, you also sense what he sensed and that is, he is in absolute authority, he is the most high. And therefore, I can tell when I see somebody who's attracted to Christ, but who says, I don't want this, I don't want this, this will ruin my life, my family will laugh at me, this will probably change everything. I don't want this. You see, until you see not only the attractiveness of Jesus, but the utter demands that intimidate you and scare you to death, you haven't really come to grips with the real Jesus. Now, if you're in this condition, and some of you say, you know, that's me, I'm attracted, I'm scared to death, I don't wanna do it. I am much more sanguine about your condition and much happier about your state and your trajectory than the people who have never struggled or wrestled. People who say, well, of course, I've always believed, I've always believed, but I don't believe you need to get fanatical about religion. You haven't seen the real Jesus. But here's what happens. By the way, you know Kenneth Clark? Kenneth Clark used to be director of the National Museum at the National Gallery in Britain, and he was the, years ago on BBC, he hosted a show called Civilization. Do you remember that? He wrote an autobiography, and in the second volume of that autobiography, he says something really remarkable. And this shows exactly what happens when you come to grips. He says, I was in a villa in France some years ago, and a curious episode happened to me. I had a religious experience. It took place in the church of St. Lorenzo, but I did not seem to be connected with the beauty of the architecture. I can only say that for a few minutes, my whole being was radiated with heavenly joy, more intense than anything I had ever experienced before. But wonderful as it was, it caused an awkward problem in terms of action. My life was far from blameless. I would have to reform. My family would think I was going mad, and perhaps, perhaps it was a delusion, for on moral terms, I seemed to be completely unworthy of such a flood of grace. So gradually, effect wore off, and I made no effort to retain it, and I think that was right. I was too deeply embedded in the world to change course, but I felt the finger of God, I'm sure, and though the memory fades, it still helps me now to understand the joys of the saints.

What Are Energetic Activations? Photographer Adjanys Marrero Explains
"Talk about like you do these, what do you call them? Energetic activations is your part of what you do, you like to do. What is that? How do you explain how they work? Yeah, absolutely. So during the photo shoot, just because I have done so many throughout the years and each session is an experience, but as I started to work with more people who are in the law of attraction, manifestation, and energetic, I noticed that while we were in session and the way that I directed them through the direction actually created these crazy breakthroughs. So I started to really get these downloads around how when you not only brand your vision and brand it for the world in a very beautiful way, whatever feels beautiful in a line for you, but you're absolutely almost able to break into that frequency into the future because a photo shoot could be quite a pampered experience. It could be like you're leaning back and you're receiving the spotlight and you're allowing yourself to be seen and there's nothing you can do except pose, you know, no matter how uncomfortable you are, you're still being held. And I realized that a lot of people, it's almost like they grabbed that future self and they just literally brought it to this very present moment. And I was like, it's like you meet your future self because you're dressing how she would dress, you're speaking and you're feeling into that. And I'm bringing that energy because I want you to be at your highest calibration because I know that's what's going to get captured in the image. So the reason I do metaphysical branding is because if you're in a negative mood, okay, for example, I'm sure you have a lot of listeners, but I'm a woman who is speaking to women, being in front of the camera is nerve -wracking. Yes, it is. So many body issues, so many issues, you know, it is nerve -wracking. And so when you are scared of how you look, even if you look beautiful, but your hair and your mind is going, I look crazy, I feel ugly, I'm bad, I'm this, I'm that, I don't care how beautiful your images look, the energy that is being emitted is going to put people off. Yeah, I agree with you on that. So what I need to do is to break people out of thinking about themselves and thinking about their clients. In my sessions, you're always constantly thinking about the work and the love that you're giving your clients. So when I capture you, I literally capture you the love you have for those who are going to see these images. So they can like receive something from that. So that's where we have the 50 milliseconds, you know, because we do energy work and we do it very intentionally. So yes, they look gorgeous. Yes, you're having fun. But at every step of the way, we're thinking about how we're serving the collective in the name of the divine. Always, always, always.

The Government Wants to Control All Resources... Even Turkeys
"Mike, you up for me cuttin' on? I want you to listen to this. Now, this may seem like a silly argument over Thanksgiving turkeys on Christmas and a giveaway, excuse me, on Thanksgiving they do every year. This is where we're going with this. This is exactly what the government and NGOs on the left want. They want to control the resources and make sure that you all have the Hunger Games to get them. Listen to this lady in this news report talk about how illegal migrants with our open border society are now taking away the Thanksgiving turkeys they used to get for free every year. Take a listen this. to In one neighborhood in Queens between NYCHA tenants and newly arrived migrants, tensions are growing with not enough food to go around. Why do we have to take the butt of everything? This community here is already suffering. The residents living in NYCHA's Queensbridge houses look forward to the mobile food pantries that show up weekly. But over the past year, they have witnessed 8000 migrants move into their neighborhood and they've also noticed the migrants are also starting to take their stuff. They was first online for the turkeys this morning. They tell you to be there at 11 o 'clock. You get there like 10 30, 10 45, but they're already out there. The line is from over there to over here. Free food giveaways, especially during the holidays, have become a source of tension between longtime New Yorkers struggling to get by and newly arrived migrants who are using the system to survive. Step one, the tyranny emergency powers. Step two, the Hunger Games. Resources come from the government. We can't have resources coming from the free market that will empower business and vulturous business CEOs. We can't have that. You will eat when we say you eat. Did you hear the key line in that? They took our stuff. Oh yeah. As we move towards government run health care, government run university education through student loan programs, government run pre -K, government run day care, and a

Understanding the Orchestra Pit Theory in Politics
"He's like that show is horrible he liked today's show which is good we're talking talking about the orchestra pit theory of politics you ever heard of this I wrote about it in my second book it's not my theory it kind of parallels my theory of snapshots and sound bites but it's a little different if you understand the orchestra pit theory of politics which the leftist forever then you will be a step ahead and that's the reason I talk about it on the show because everything we do here although it's meant to be entertaining if I it's also meant to be educational we got an election coming up and I'm telling you that the left has bested us on the orchestra pit snapshots and sound bites theory of politics forever they know everything's a bumper sticker nobody's reading white papers they understand it's all performance and performative and if you can get performance the down you win Barack Obama was a perfect example what do people remember Barack about Obama hopey changey really everything Obama did to you your insurance went up the economy only grew it didn't even crack three percent the first president I think in modern history did not do the I bet you didn't even know that we went into massive amounts of debt records at the time Obama did nothing for America but even to this day he's probably got a 90 % approval to Democrats I love that guy I love Obama what do you do for you stuff what stuff you know things like what things you know thingy stuff like hopey changey all we did your health care better no it's worse what off about you it yes did you keep your no you didn't keep it but he said you could keep your doctor good point you was your kids education with a public school no it's far worse well what about the your business now I struggle another about but I thought he was great well why do liberals think he's great again they understand snapshots and sound
Food Addiction, the Problem and the Solution
Uncovering Repressed Anger: How Food Became My Only Comfort
"I'm going to give a couple of quotes from your writing that are really pretty profound and then we're going to talk about some of the recovery work you did at Shift. You say, food was my friend, my lover, my companion. I could always rely on food to be there and comfort me when I had no one to turn to. And you said, food helped me to feel calm, normal, accepted, loved and enough. I was raised to not show anger, to be seen and not heard. A woman's place is in the home, raising a family and obeying the husband. I felt my purpose was to take care of others and not consider the cost to myself. There were decades of repressed anger and resentment and I used food to help me cope with all of life's ups and downs. So yeah, food's our friend. It's the thing that doesn't argue back, you know, so we can rely on it, right, and it works. I had no idea how angry I was through all of that and it was only in recovery and working the steps and coming to see what my life was like that I was able to start doing some of that recovery work because that's why I went to the food, all this emotional. So I just thought I was an emotional eater. We'd hear about it so often in magazines and television, you know, you see the girl that had the breakup and you'd see her eating that pint of ice cream and it was normalized that that's what you did when you had extreme emotions that it was okay to go to food. So I didn't realize until I did get into recovery and learn about food addiction that there was something different about me specifically when it came to food, that this was not really normal. I knew that the way I ate was not normal but I didn't know why it wasn't normal. I just kept thinking I had a lack of willpower, that I just could not do what other people could do so I kept beating myself up because I couldn't do it. Yeah, talk about the anger and resentment. So you probably didn't realize you were angry of all the years of things that had occurred with you and I would assume that in shift with some of the emotional work they do there that you found out, yeah, I'm angry, I've got resentment. How did you get in touch with that and how did you work through it? Well the first intensive I went to that was Esther's intensive led by Amanda at shift. On the first day she asked me how I was feeling and I totally blanked out. I had no idea what I was feeling. I had never tapped into emotions at all. So she literally had to list are you happy, are you sad, are you angry and I thought what does that mean and then I thought oh yeah I'm sad and then the anger. Then when I really started tapping into the anger that's what really bubbled up because I never had an opportunity to explore any of that anger. It was always shoved down especially with the food because I wasn't allowed to speak about it. So that was really very instrumental but it still took Amanda repeating over and over again different emotions that it was possible to have before I could relate to actually having those emotions. What did you find that you were angry about? I was angry about a lot. I was angry at myself for putting up with so much. I'm very co -dependent so I put up with a lot of stuff. I always put my family, my friends, my job, everything went first before me but I was also angry with my parents, I was angry with my spouse, I was angry with employers. I was just one really angry person and I never realized it until I got into recovery. I thought I was a martyr. I thought I was self -sacrificing to do for everyone else when in fact it was I just wanted them to do what I wanted them to do. I wanted to control them so I didn't have emotion. If you did what I told you to do I wouldn't get upset. I wouldn't have to eat this food. You're the reason I'm eating all of this stuff because I'm an emotional eater.
Food Addiction, the Problem and the Solution
Recovering Food Addict Colleen Y. Shares the Ups and Downs of Her Journey
"On the podcast, our guest is a recovered food addict, Colleen Y. Welcome Colleen. Colleen Y. Thank you. It's a pleasure to be here. Susan Branscombe Yeah, it's great. I heard about your story. I've read about your story and I'm looking forward to sharing it with our listeners. We're going to talk about your story and how you found recovery from food addiction. I understand you became abstinent at 55 years old in 2018 when you joined a 12 -step food recovery program. Talk about that and what brought you into recovery. Colleen Y. Yes, it was late getting into. I had never heard of any 12 -step recovery programs. I had never heard about food addiction. I was just a person who thought I had a moral issue that I needed to diet, that I didn't have willpower, that that was the only way that I could overcome the excess weight. I was getting up there. I was 250. I was up to 300 pounds when I finally went into the rooms. So up until that point, I just thought that I just had no willpower. But it got to the point where all I could do was think about the food. I could not function unless I was thinking about food. So that's what brought me into the rooms. Talk about you got into recovery when you realized that you needed help in this way. And then you relapsed after two months. What happened there? Well, actually, it was after five years. I was in the program for five years. So for the first two years following the program, I was good. I followed it. I lost weight. I was working the steps in the program. But then I thought I didn't need it anymore, that I knew what I was doing and slowly started deviating from the program to the point where I left it and just started doing diets again and the weight started creeping back on. But I was still not eating the sugar flower wheat. So that's what I considered as still being abstinent. But the weight came on. I was still eating high fat. And then finally, after five years, I just couldn't white knuckle the diets anymore. And I relapsed. And in that two months that I relapsed, I gained over 25 pounds and really came to believe that I had a serious problem with food addiction. I just could not function at all over that two months. And I just did not want to live anymore. I just did not want to wake up in the morning. It was a brutal experience for two months. For critical level food addicts, some of us can get suicidal, where we just can't see a way out and that we're always going to suffer from this and food controls our lives. Yeah, I prayed every night that I wouldn't wake up in the morning. And that was the thing. And then I'd be so devastated that I had another day in this disease and that somehow I had to function. So talk about this history then. You got into recovery, five years, doing well, lost weight. Then you relapsed. Tell me about the weight that went off and came back on. You said you gained 25 pounds. You got up to 300, but were you close to maintenance weight during that five years? I had never been a normal weight my entire life, never. So I got close. I had lost, by this point I started at 300, so I was probably down to 170, which was just absolutely new territory for me. Then I gained some weight back, but then I knew I could not get abstinent on my own. It didn't matter what I did, I could not keep it. So I tried to go to Renasant and Renasant was running an outpatient program and I signed up for that. And then just before they were going to run it, they contacted me and said that they weren't prepared to run it anymore. And I was devastated. I ended up getting in touch with Dr. Vera Tarmon, who is a director at Renasant, and she told me about, in fact, was going to run their intensive for their students. And Esther usually does it in Iceland, but this time she was actually doing it in Ontario where I'm from. So it's like three hours away from me, I had this opportunity. So I jumped at it and I went and did that intensive where Esther Helga had Amanda from Shift come in and run the intensive. And it was mind -altering. It changed everything about the way that I looked at food addiction, totally, totally opened my eyes.

Adebayo Alomaja Is Revolutionizing Education With Micro-Learning
"Tell us a little bit about the course that you have designed. What topics do you cover? Yeah, sure. Sure. Thank you. As I think about how learning is going to become more and more interesting, more fun, even in K -12, we see a place of micro -learning coming into the equation. Okay. We see the place of micro -learning coming into the equation. So if you see what the course looks like, it's designed to cut off the noise. One of the things we need to, the problem we need to solve in K -12 is that there's a lot of noise. We expose kids to too many things that are not important. These things can be streamlined and presented from a micro -learning perspective such that what we are giving kids is just exactly what they need to know, just exactly what they need to know. And that's the idea of micro -learning. People think, is it going to be effective? It's going to be effective. And that's why we talk about teachers becoming learning designers, because by the time you're thinking as a learning designer, you will begin to focus on specifics, specific things that needs to be addressed and how you want to capture in the learning experience is just nothing but those specifics. In this course, it's about how to design authentic learning in K -12. And I just decided to address the basics, the starting point for anybody from anywhere, wherever you are across the world. If you're thinking about offering your learners something more than just being able to pass exams, something more that will make their society respect them, something more that will put them in a place where they can have real value to their society. You want to join the class of educators that are not traditional, but that are offering kids real value. Then you want to think about jumping on this course. I taught them all the basics. And then in the course, I talked about basically how teachers can become more familiar with context as against content. I talked about substituting content for context. Like I always say that context should determine content when it comes to engaging learners. I always say that. I got my inspiration from the story of what's happening in Dubai. I mentioned it in the course too, how Dubai wants to go and live in Mars by year 2017. That's like next 90 something years. So they lost the project in 2017. It was an 100 years project. So they traveled to Mars. And what they went to do was to study everything about Mars. And so when they were done with that, they came back to the earth and then built a colony, built something that looks like Mars. When it's right now, that thing is in Dubai. They built it. The whole atmosphere in terms of pressure, temperature, and everything in Mars, they came to replicate. They built like a simulation of that under the earth. So they are saying that they are going to live in that thing. And if they can live in it and survive in it between now, between 2017 and 2017, then that means they are now right to move to Mars, to build, to go and start building Mars. And the lesson I learned from that is that we need the atmosphere of a reality to prepare for that reality. That's the lesson I learned from that. So Dubai looked into the future, created the future and the present to prepare for the future. So that tells me, that tells K -12, that tells every educator that you cannot be effective if you don't understand what is coming. You don't understand what the world is asking for. You cannot be effective in a classroom because you only keep offering what is not needed. So there's a need for educators to understand the context, what is obtainable. For example, I always say that vocabularies are seasonal. There was nothing like child deputy in the year 2010, nothing like that, nothing like that. So if we want to stick with what our syllabus and the scheme of work says, and we want to just keep following it head on and on, what will happen is that - No innovation. Yeah, so we'll just keep disconnecting our learners from the reality and what real life is saying by the hour, right? And that's really going to be quite problematic. So in the course, I opened up educators to being able to get more familiar with context and how to begin to use context to influence how they design their learning experiences I sped up some very simple steps, practically, that educators can adopt to help them move and move and just keep gravitating. So that course is just like a starting point for every educator that wants to go into the world of authentic learning.

AI's Impact on Teaching With Mr. Adebayo Alomaja
"Teachers are concerned, at least in the iceberg, about the jobs away, but at the same time, according to them, some teachers, that it will make students lazy and all that. But you said because of AI, it will lessen the job or what the teachers do, but it will literally help teachers. The role of teachers, the best practices is to be facilitators, right? So what you're saying is it will enable the teachers to be more of a great designer of lessons and being able to facilitate instructions and learning. Yeah. So can you elaborate more on that because this is of interest. I'm a teacher. Yeah, exactly. What we see happening today is that, as I said, teachers are going to step into their creative age. They are going to become more creative than ever because they are going to be the delivered from old of the demands from the traditional system, right? Teachers are busy with lesson plans. They have to do so many things and so many things and a whole lot of that. But we're going to see that, for example, right now, we have the iTunes that you just keep Curipod. You just give Curipod a prompt and say you want this topic in this class and all you see immediately, within a minute, is just a full blown lesson, right? And not just in terms of value, right? So you see what's in it, how rich and how valuable that can be, right? So teachers are going to become, the teaching profession is going to become more interesting. It's going to become most interesting, right? And teaching is, here I would get teaching to that level and all in all so that teachers can have more time to think beyond the classroom, the school environment, right? Teachers can have more time to collaborate. But one thing I'm saying lately, one thing I've just, part of my latest discoveries is the fact that school needs to move to what I call the partnership age. So right now, teachers need to start collaborating with professionals from other industries. The school of the future is going to become an environment that brings professionals back into the classroom. We say school produces professionals, but right now, school is going to bring them back into the classroom. And to be honest with you, AI, because AI has access to a lot of data, right? So actually it is, if the interest is to make teams, is to encourage collaboration and to also, not only within between teachers, but between teachers and the industry, right? I think AI can facilitate that. The use of AI can facilitate that. If the whole idea is using data, right? The use of AI to inform a decision -making or instruction, I can do a marvelous job in regards to the use of technology, which goes to moving schools to using technology to become technology savvy, right? So it creates, you said that it creates an emergence of global schools, can you elaborate? So talking about global schools, so what we're seeing is that right now it's going to become easy. For example, I work with a school in Georgia, Atlanta, Georgia, as an instructor. And yeah, so I teach math there, right? Of course, that's the school with learners distributed as a global school. So when we talk about global schools, what we're seeing, what we're seeing right now, which is a possibility, is very possible. Like I was speaking to a school owner, I said, all your teachers, you are in Nigeria. I said, all your teachers don't have to be Nigerians. I said that, I said, when we talk about global citizenship, when we see every child in Nigeria, I said global citizenship in every one of us, we are global citizenship in the whole world right now is a global village, right? Global citizenship is not a title. It has to be an experience. It has to be, so I like calling myself a global village evangelist, just talking about a global village, there was this plug into what is a global village, and that's a reality. That's a reality because even right now it's very possible. So schools in Nigeria can get volunteer teachers free of charge that are going to work with your kids, either for personalized learning interventions, or just even as a member of their team, which is to support teachers, there are many teachers, a thousand or one teachers who are happy and who are willing to work in that kind of setting, right? Because they also want to reach their portfolio and say, oh, I've been able to work with kids from, right? So global globalization is something that people are loving these days. That's what's happening on LinkedIn. What drove all of us to, what makes us excited about LinkedIn is globalization. We're loving it. We're enjoying it. We're able to reach people, the diversification, equity, the DER, one of the few, what is a global village? We are connected. We don't want to be separated. We want to sell ourselves as one, right? So we see these factors as promoters, as drivers of concepts like the global school, right? So we are going to see more and more things like that.

A Face For Radio (MM #4624)
"When I worked in radio, there was an ongoing joke saying that I had a face for radio. And it wasn't just aimed at me, it was aimed at any radio personality. They weren't pretty enough to be on TV, so therefore they worked in radio. I joked it wasn't necessarily the face, it was my body, because I definitely didn't have a body for TV. And after this weekend, I don't have a face for much. Had an accident, stumbled into a step, well, face -planted, literally didn't see a step boom. Landed right on my face, cut myself under my nose, on the side of my nose, thought for sure I'd broken some teeth, but I didn't. My kneecap is pretty scraped up, my hands are pretty scraped up, and I'm feeling the pain. I definitely have a face for radio, and a body to match. It's not something I'm worried about right now, but what I am worried about, as we get older, we tend to hurt ourselves a little bit more. We all have those injuries, those sprains, those broken hips, you know, those kinds of things that aren't good. Could this be the first sign for me that I'm getting a little clumsy, that I've got to pay more attention to what I'm doing? That's what my wife says, I just need to pay more attention. I was paying attention, just not to the right thing.

Carla Welcomes Dr. Jesse Easley of Schupp Chiropractic
"Today we're going to talk to Dr. Jesse Easley. Jesse is one of the practitioners at Shupp Chiropractic and Sports Injuries. So let's listen up and see why it's so important for you to visit there. Welcome to the show, Jesse. Hey, thanks, Carla. Glad to be here. It's so nice to have you here. I wanted to get some of your expertise, opinion on chiropractic and ART and all that stuff. I've been coming to the complex since 2014, and I'm pretty sure they opened in 2012. So yeah, I've been a patient for a long, long time. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Longer than I've been there. Yeah. Not by much, though. I remember when you started. But if it wasn't for you guys there, I wouldn't be able to continue to run. So I wanted to really explain to my listeners the importance, obviously, we should be doing foam rolling, but sometimes we need a little bit deeper step. And so that's why I come to you guys. And I know that your office sees a lot of the badgers. Is that correct? We see the runners, track and field, cross country. OK. And then you do see some Olympians as well, don't you? Some of the people that went to. We do. A lot of the collegiate athletes continued on to run professionally. And so there have been quite a few in the last five, six years who have gone on to run for Olympic teams, both with the United States and then quite a few Australians and a couple other Canadian heptathletes. And yeah, but yeah, a couple. It keeps things interesting. know So I I've done, I think, everything you guys offer, the chiropractic, the dry needling, the ART, the Graston, the laser therapy, kinesiotaping, and cupping. Is that everything? Mostly. We do a little bit of rehab. I think that is everything that we currently offer. In the future, we'll be adding a few things, but yeah, you've gone through a lot. I don't know if it's fortunately or unfortunately got to experience everything that we do. Yeah, I know. I'm kind of probably your biggest minor, I'm sure, when you're working on me. Close, not quite. So of these, is there one in particular that you specialize more in or that you gravitate more when you're working with a runner? Well, a couple ways to answer that. Within our clinic itself, all three of us do most of the same thing. And I would say the biggest difference between provider is our backgrounds. And so Andy ran collegiately and has the deepest background in endurance running. Phil plays rugby and does a lot of mixed martial arts, and I have done a variety. I ran track and cross country, I rock climb, we're into motor sports, all sorts of different things. And between then our office and other offices in the Dane County area, there's quite a lot of difference. Yeah, that for sure, I know. Why do you feel that it's important for an athlete to maybe get off the foam roller if that's not working and come to your office? Yeah, so a foam roller can be a useful tool. I would say that if you've been foam rolling an injury for any lengthy period of time and it hasn't seemed to change anything. If you had a nagging hip or calf or whatever it may be and you've been foam rolling for three, four weeks and nothing's changing, it probably won't change. And so you need some type of more targeted or different intervention or potentially just diagnosis. It might not be a connective tissue injury that you're dealing with. It could be a bone injury, it could be a nerve, there's a variety of things.

First Responder Wife Daniela Shares Her Family's Harrowing Hostage Nightmare
"We have Daniella T from Ontario, Canada with us today. Daniella is a first responder wife and mom to two girls, as well as a full -time staffing coordinator at her local hospital. Daniella's life changed forever when her husband was taken hostage during a shift when he was working as a correctional officer. Four of the longest hours ensued not knowing what the future would bring. Thankfully, through the hard work of the negotiating team, he was released with minimal physical injuries, but it would be the invisible injuries that would have the most profound effect and that would end up testing them as individuals and as a couple. While her husband recognized he would need immediate help facing the challenges that would come with PTSD, Daniella pushed the need to reach out for support for herself in dealing with the trauma and focused 100 % of her attention and care to him and their two children. As time progressed, Daniella recognized that she too finally needed to truly process the ordeal and the injuries she had been enduring as a result. So she started a blog called The Often Unseen and that was a major step in her healing journey. Welcome, Daniella. Thanks for coming on the show. Thanks. I'm fangirling a little bit here because I've been following you guys for over a year now. And when I saw you guys kind of put a call out to, you know, people who might want to be a guest, I was like, Oh my God, pick me. Thank you for having the courage to come and talk about your healing journey with us today. So based on your own comfort level, walk us through the incident. Yeah. So it was September 14th, 2018, and it was a Friday afternoon. I'll never forget that date, but it was just a regular day. And if you ever hear my husband tell the story, he always starts with, I wasn't even supposed to work that day. It was an overtime shift that he had picked up, but it was a regular day. I was out running errands and I had gotten a message from the superintendent of the jail. Our town is a very small town and everybody knows everybody. And I knew this gentleman through other community things that we had been involved in. And he sent me a Facebook message saying, Hey, it's Steve, call me when you get this. And I thought that's weird, but whatever. So I called him when I got home and he started it by saying, where are you? And I thought that was weird. And I said, Oh, I'm at home. And well, where's home? You guys moved, right? And we had been in the process of, we had sold our house and we were living with my in -laws while we went through the process of buying a new house. So I said, yeah, we're here at the address. I said, what's going on? And so now I'm kind of thinking, you know, like I should preface this because I'm guessing probably a lot of your listeners are American, but up here, the jail that my husband worked at, it was sort of like a minimum security. And so really the only weapons that they carry to protect themselves were pepper spray. So I'm thinking, Oh, he had to use this pepper spray. He got some in the eye or, or something along those lines. And then he just said, I'm sending someone over to the house. And then that was when I sort of started to panic. And then he said, there's been an incident and they have John. And I just, I had like an out of body experience. I fell to the floor. I couldn't breathe. And I could see myself like sitting on the floor, trying to process this bomb that had been dropped. And it was probably one o 'clock in the afternoon. So my kids were at school and daycare. And so I thought, I didn't know what to do. So I called my mother -in -law who I was living with. And I said, where are you? In my calmest voice that I tried to, you know, where are you? And she said, I'm downtown. And I said, I need you to come home now. And again, we live in a small town. It takes less than 10 minutes to pretty much get it anywhere. And she said, okay, is everything all right? I said, I need you to come home now. And so as she pulled up the chaplain from the jail, as well as the police officer were pulling up. And so she kind of was like, do you have the right house? And so they were like, yes. So she came in and I had to tell her, I couldn't even really talk. I sent a text to my mom and my dad and my sister who all lived here. And I said, I can't talk. This is what has happened. I know nothing. And so my dad was retired. He came over, my mom left work. She came over and we all just sat around the table for like, you know, it was probably a total of three hours, but again, a small town. I started to get text messages from people saying, I heard this is going on at the jail. I hope John's not working today. And so the first person, a good friend of mine who texted me that I said, oh, where did you hear that? And he said, well, people are talking about it in the staff room at work. And so it was at that point that I said to my mother -in -law, we have to call my two sister -in -laws who also live in town. I said, they're teachers. I said, we have to call them. They can't find out that this is going on, you know, at school through word of mouth. So my mother -in -law called them. They came over and we all sat around the table. And then I finally got a call from the superintendent saying that John had been released and that he was taking him to the hospital to get checked out. So we went there, we waited, we met the ambulance. I've never known a relief like that in my life. And we were there for a couple of hours as they ran some tests and x -rays, but you know, he was lucky that there was just some bruising and, you know, a black eye. He was pretty sore just from, you know, they had him handcuffed and things like that. So, but no broken bones, you know, no open wounds, anything like that. So that we were probably back home by, I'm going to say 8 30. So all in all, it was about a seven and a half hour ordeal. And then, and then, and then life kept going on. Yikes. That's a lot. Yeah. It's, you know, if you're, you know, if you're a corrections spouse or in that corrections world, you know, that's sort of your worst case scenario, your worst fear of, you know, a riot or something like that happening, you know?
Capstone Conversation
Jared Asch and Teri Killgore Discuss Boosting Regional Economic Activity
"Mentioned earlier, the Diablo Valley Tech Conference that was held and in it, there was a large conversation of in the Diablo region, how do more cities work together? So of instead all about Walnut Creek, Concord, the Concord neighborhood weapons station, Martinez going to compete, even Brentwood, how could the cities work a little better together to attract and build a regional economy? That's a really great question. Well, I think the first step is to identify common interests, and there are some things that we work with the county economic development office on. Work with the East Bay EDA to meet monthly to share common interests. I think the challenge right now is that each of our markets is in a very different place in its maturity cycle. And so the advantage of each community is they have their own personality, they have their own vibe, they have their own unique assets. And so could we market more as a region? We certainly could. I think part of the challenge is that our communities are intentionally very different. And so we don't want to lose the quirk that what's so cool about Martinez and we don't want to lose the potential of the naval weapons station. But it makes it hard because they're in such different places in their life cycle. And so the tenants that Walnut Creek would be going after are different than if I were in Martinez that are different than the ones I would be trying to attract. So could we better share information? Yes, but I think more importantly, we need to identify what are those common interests. And one of them is just making sure that everybody knows the North 680 corridor is open for business. We are here and ready to help in any way we can to bring opportunity to our community. And I think it's a joint marketing effort, perhaps amongst all the communities, to Silicon Valley to say, guess what? Your workers live here, save them a bridge toll or two, save us all the miles that they're commuting and help us really bring the value of the technologies that have been unleashed in the last few years to bear by having some field offices, by thinking about the North 680 corridor as a secondary place for business, if not your primary place. And that's, I think, a shared message we could all partner on well.

"But those guys got their fix, offensively, but it also got everybody as a result to commit to the defense of plan. That is especially Doc river style is incredibly hard to get players to buy into. It just is. Because it's not as much fun. And they play the game for offense. Everybody likes to shoot the ball. You want to know why? Because basketball is a shooter's game. And it's all we talk about is shooters and shooters and shooters and why does team have shooters? This team doesn't have shooters 'cause nobody freaking shoots to goddamn ball. Because we don't play up tempo because we don't get out on the break. This team doesn't shoot, doesn't have shooters because they don't shoot. They play defense, right? And then they ice up. That's not shooting. It's not basketball, and they got to get their heads out of their asses and say, you know what? Boston's got to play West Coast. They got to. These guys are young, they got springy legs. They can take a pounding, you know, maybe not jaylen Brown, but they got a Ron dude. They got a lot of run. Honor frigging Tommy for once, please. Get out on the break. Yeah. I think there's some truth in what you're saying. I mean, I do think that the joy that those guys need. And frankly, I think that part of that is not just not just trying to run, but also trying to strip away expectations. Right. I mean, that's why I guess partly I kind of feel like, look, let's run with the kids. Let's get rid of the old guys. And let's go all in on this and get everyone to figure out their stuff out. Figure out Tatum. How's to be the guy and when to go and when not to go and all the things they never really got a chance to do when they were younger because they were surrounded by that. The things that embiid and Simmons and, you know, exactly. Mitchell, all of these younger players around the league. Well, maybe not Mitchell, Mitchell might have had the luxury of being on a competitive team. But yeah, but they still grew up expectations. Right. Right. Right. That's the thing. They've had expectations on them. So do them a favor, Brad. Get rid of the expectations, shift everybody out..

"But there's just seems to be like a growing sense of and part of it because you haven't won lately. We haven't been great lately. Winning cures all ills, but. How many perplexing things that we're going to have before we start rioting? As a fan base. Like, not a riot already started. It's happening. 14 was not a fun year, but that was a team that Danny was trying to deconstruct and rebuild in a new image. Yeah. At this point, I don't know what we're doing. I don't know where we're going. I don't know what our purpose is. I don't know what we're trying to build around. There were some ideas about a switching defense and we had some games where we were playing in the 80s. And it was kind of like, okay, well, that's kind of interesting. Is that where we're going with this? And then we go to West Coast trip, and we give up a 150,000 points every night. And yes, Jalen Brown was out. So that has a lot to do with that. But the kind of the listing and the move from this to that to the other. It's like, I can't keep track of what we want this team to be. And that's, I guess what I'm trying to find out is what do we want this team to be? And are we going to start making moves to in the same way Danny did in 14 where he started to kind of take the pieces and strip it down to the essentials. You can only do that so much. Maybe the answer is you can't do that because you actually have players that you're trying to build around and win with. But I'm so unimpressed with where we are right now that it seems like you have to commit to something. And right now, it doesn't feel like we've committed to anything at the moment. Yeah, it's tough to commit when you, you know, the lineup is just a complete shambles night in and night out. I do understand that. But to your point, the commitment to Horford and lob lob Williams, it just doesn't fit, you know? It doesn't fit. And they need to get. They need to just they need to get more uptempo. And they're trying to play that way anyway. A lot of times, I don't want to say they're giving up on defense because they're not giving up, but they are just trying to score a bunch of points. And you've heard me, probably this time last year. Say, I think you should do that. I think you should try to get into that game a little bit so that the players build confidence and then start tightening the defensive rotations. But you can't do that with a double big lineup. It doesn't work with a double big lineup. And so you've got to get up and go or not. Are you going to run these clydesdales or not? Because, you know, I kind of think they want to play that way..

"The market is just upside down on that right now. So you have to play Tatum there. You have to play Brown of the three. And then you've got Romeo and you've got knee Smith. And he got smart. And your point guard situation is, you know, if you have the right shooting guard or whoever, the third, the next wing, that can answer a lot more questions about the smart versus Pritchard versus a different point guard who can get in the lane and create. But you need to fill out that other piece to figure out what you need a point guard or you figure out what you need to point what you get a point guard. And you consolidate and then you get whatever you get left over at that other wing spot because you know there's been a lot of talk of the dejante murrays and the deer and foxes and a few other guys with D in front of their name no not really and just Dijon and anyway. That's somewhat kind of interesting to me because I never really wanted to spend much on a point guard. Because I think that they're pretty easily found. And I still believe that, on the other hand, if the market is so crazy to add that three, four who can rebound. So do you just take the one we have, the word maxed out? It's the best player in that position. Right. So do you want smart at shooting guard Brown and small forward Tatum at power forward? And then you choose Robert Horford, depending on matchups or how the rotation kind of gels, and then you get a real point guard who can distribute and smart plays, defensive, mostly less ball in his hands. Ideally, no. Ideally, ideally, you're dealing with your training. I don't see how you don't want him in shooting guard, and you don't want him at point guard. Your pointers on your train. I think the only place you play him is a point guard. I think he's a point guard. I don't think he's a shooting guard. You know, I think he's a shooting guard either, but if you have Tatum and brown facilitating most of the offense, then he's that defensive guy at shooting right. But that's not really the point. I'm even making. I'm just saying, you personally, if you don't want to miss shooting guard and you don't want him in point guard, there's only one thing that's left. You gotta trade him. Yeah. He deserves an opportunity to start. So if he's not starting for your meaning, not the royal York, but your Boston is the royal wing. Yes. Yes. Hour? Your Boston Celtics, John..

"Come on, you know. Little small forward, 6 foot 7, my favorite. Is these stress my favorite? All of a sudden, you really Smith. Yeah, he's definitely a big New Yorker. Come on, you're always talking about giving me run. I think, yeah, but it's less about these specifically than it is about the idea of it, right? The idea of taking the guy 14. And you don't give him a chance to play. It just is weird. It's like the opposite of Langford. You know, what do we take about 15? Same idea, but yeah, but he kept himself out. Right. So he was injured. So kind of the same scenario, but for a different reason that but you also need what niece Smith provides. And I'm not so shooting. I'm not stupid enough to think that just because he doesn't shoot well when he gets 9 minutes. 5 minutes or every other third week, that doesn't show me that he can't shoot the ball. It shows me that he can't shoot the ball when he gets inconsistent. Opportunity. Yeah. You know? And that's what I don't understand. Nobody seems to like, this is my biggest frustration with the NBA right now. Like my biggest frustration is fans who don't understand that. Who don't understand that Sadiq bay kind of popping off last year and always so much better than air in the east and I knew all along, whatever. Like, go look at Citi based shooting percentages right now. Kids shooting 30 days from three. On my fantasy. And I had to drop him. But you get opportunity. And it's like, you know, it's like the garrison math do you think? This is like the news also on my fantasy team now. Sure. It's smart, right? He's getting an opportunity. So he plays, so he gets a lot of shots, he gets a lot, you know, it's great..

"For your Boston Celtics. John and I have not been around in a while. And not so coincidentally, neither have the Celtics. Either for injury issues, which is really ridiculous right now. I mean, what was it a player's, John? I have that right. Yeah, 8. That's ridiculous. Yeah. I just don't even like and all the postponed games, you know, like the nads and yeah. It's kind of, I don't want to be like, oh, it's so frustrating, you know, the games are being postponed and whatever. And people are sitting out on protocol and whatnot, but it is kind of frustrating, because they're going to march through this season anyway. And they kind of need to. It's kind of like the new reality right now, I guess. But it is tough to get a quality product. You look at somebody like Josh Richardson and just finally starts getting it going and then turned down. He's out. It's rough. Yeah, yeah, it is rough. I mean, it really stinks to be, you know, trying to get some momentum by this season and, you know, but you know, I mean, look, NBA is the lowest of priorities probably as we're all kind of navigating through all the crop. And I was gonna go with the oh my God. Yeah, that works. We were both thinking puns there. That's funny. Yeah, but yeah, but in terms of the basketball side of it, right? This is a team that needs to figure itself out. And I don't know, this is really what we need right now. You know, we need to be able to figure out kind of where, you know, how to win games, how to play consistent, and you got guys in and out. And you know, so they play Philly up 97 90. You know, or whatever it was. They're by 7 with three minutes to go. And then they just gack. Gack the game away..

"The mechanics of making a gift. What does that look. I couldn't be simpler. Basically you just you. The only thing you want to do is understand what the gifting limitations are. The the irs allows an any individuals to gift to another individual fifteen thousand dollars per year. So i can gift to my child. Fifteen thousand and wife can give fifteen thousand dollars to our to that one child and then we can gift thirty thousand to our second and thirty thousand to our our third and you can do that too. I can make gifts to your kids as well every year. I appreciate that check is in the mail of thank you. So those are those are called our what we call annual exclusion gifts. And if you're gifting below that each year then there's no there's no other filings or or anything that needs to happen. But if the if the parent is making a gift and excessive of that fifteen thousand dollars per year a gift there is a tax filing. That need will need to tap happen. It's an estate gift. Tax return needs to be filed by an account typically. No taxes will be do. It's really just information. It's just saying that that you're you're making part of your lifetime gift now before you before you die and you're just letting the irs know that you've you've made that and then then there is. I think just an important limitation or or just a concern is that if the child is getting a mortgage on top of the gift they might need to disclose the gift to the bank in verified. It's not alone because you know that would be an obligation that the child would have to have to Meet on top of the bank's loan in that they just want to know about that. Okay so two questions on that then. I think you just eliminated my other questions so this is good. This is good stuff. When you're saying that you can gift fifteen thousand dollars per person per to an individual you can do it to another individual like you said you could. You could give my kids so in other words your child and their spouse so in essence you and your wife could give them sixty thousand dollars towards their home correct. Yes absolutely so a family can gift sixty thousand dollars to a couple which can possibly provide be one hundred percent of what they need to get into that first house and if there's an additional gift that needs to be made let's say they needed one hundred thousand dollars in total to sixty thousand would be part of the annual exclusion gift and then forty thousand dollars would be a a taxable gift meaning a gift tax form would have to be filed no taxes would be do would need to be paid by either the parents or the child because of the lifetime gift limitations and do you happen to know the total on what a lifetime gift limitation. Well right now. It's it exceeds twenty million dollars. Oh okay yeah. I'm not going to be too concerned about reaching that. Total for my children and kids. If you're listening to this eight hundred. I'm sorry it may be less in the next couple of years. It may be reduced current tax law. It probably come down by by about half but think things changed so we don't know what exactly those those lifetime exclusions will be. Okay all right. Well that's good to know. So i put a question earlier. Because i wanted to get into the nitty gritty of it. But now i want to go back to the conversation you had with your kids. How did that go. Yeah it was interesting. I let me say that none of my kids are in financial or or or career position to purchase a home within that. That's a big part of big part of the conversation. They just aren't there yet. Which is perfectly fine I was curious. Most of discussion that we had centered on centered on kind of the size of the homes that were being purchased by their peers. So it was obvious that to them that their their their peers parents were helping them and and they were very little judgmental that they were buying larger properties than they thought they needed at. This point in time which i thought was really interesting and i think it's coming really more from a place that they're not. They're not ready. They're not settled. They're not in that that place where they would need those lard that larger home you know they weren't they're not thinking about raising a family right now and so. They just weren't aspiring and thinking ahead but they were. We did have that conversation. And i've always said to my kids. You know if you have a plan. I'm happy to help and mentor. And if you don't have a plan. I i i'm less likely to help and assist but but but you know buying a home is something that i would very much help you entertain assisting you with when that time comes so that was a really important part of the conversation peter. You mentioned that there are three questions that you really go through. We've covered the first two. So what's the third question. Once we've answered the question you know are are are we okay is the client okay. And then looking at is about the family. And are they. Okay and we we take into account all these things like the the buying a home weddings cashflow assistance. All those things you know. Then the once we've settled on the the the reality that the family is going to be just fine the then the next question that we really just want to focus on is is my community. Okay should we consider helping our broader community in and how could are hell assets help that community and communities is we define our own community. It could be you know we re talking about charity. We talking about our our our local town in government. What are we doing to help our community in some some families really want to focus on that that's an important part of their family culture and it's is important value and frankly other.

So it was just great and best of all we just hung out and joined the family at great meals and even had some good wine. I it was really fun being away. But i'm i'm actually glad to be back. i- usual routine. How about you do you ever these our glands. He you know we got a chance to get away my wife and i and my daughter actually the guy that i grew up with ever since second grade him and his family live out in south carolina and they decided to take a road trip and we have a group taxis. Hey anybody wanna meet in branson missouri. Well that's that's only like six hours away from me. Peter so my wife daughter and i had a down. He rented a big cabin so we stayed stayed there and and one interesting thing. We're outside around the fire late in the evening in we heard some noises and we're all positive it was a bear black bear most likely because there's been a lot of spotting down there but you know so. Some of the people were freaked out. I won't name names but some of them. People were freaked out but we did hear some other rustling and looked over. And it was the first time i've ever seen an armadillo live besides like zoo right. You see him in the zoo. But or i see him on the side of the road and they're just they're they're not alive but this one came right up to the cabin and he's hustled himself under the porch. You know he was hunting bugs or whatever he was doing as first time i saw one it was. It was pretty amazing. The very interesting creatures. That's that's great the to go to branson missouri for that. Yeah exactly so was fun but like you said it's good to be back and now that we're back and you're back in the podcasting seat. What are we talking about today. Yeah i thought we talk talk today about helping. Kids make their first. And and probably their biggest investment which is purchase of their primary residence. Yeah i think owning owning your own home is is still part of the american dream and many parents and their children believe it's really a great for step and building wealth and there's there are lots of financial and emotional advantages of owning your own property. There are inherent risks and costs and disadvantages of owning. But nevertheless i think in in many cases the advantages certainly outweigh the disadvantages. And this the reason i wanted to this podcast is over. The last few months we've had lots of discussions with clients about this kind of assistance to to their to their family and their kids and then and then while on vacation we had an interesting conversation with my kids about this topic. And i thought it was interesting to really hear their perspective. Okay so i want get into what you're sad to say i'm really interested in. I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that discussion. Because i know that you're an educator at heart so i'm really curious but even before we get into that. Who else are you having these discussions with. I mean is this something that you're doing with your entire client base or or strangers on a train. I mean what are you talking about this. Typically when we're working with our clients. And i must say. Our clients are primarily affluent so they may not be the ultra wealthy in this country. You know not the the jeff bezos or or or bill gates but but but most of them have enough. And when i say enough. They're able to you know go through the planning process. We were able to meet their goals. And so when we're when we're taking them through that at planning we call it comprehensive. Planning i in generally focus on three really important questions that that focus primarily on their goals objectives and dreams and aspirations. That's where i'm hoping we'll go in our conversation and the first question is are we okay and when i say we i mean Is the client and their spouse if married can they meet their short and long-term goals given their resources there in their cash flow in their in their their actual objectives. And assuming the answer is yes because most of clients are are affluent. And and we we modeled that we we confirm that and it's really an important part of our planning processes probably where we spend most of our time is confirmation of that first question and then the second question is that comes about is now that we're okay. How about our family are they. Okay and by that. I mean the people in our world that we feel responsible for that we love our they. Okay and and by the way sometimes isn't just about our our our kids. It could be nieces. Nephews sibling cousins. Or dear friends you know. I mean that it. It's really family in in the larger term. Okay so i'd like to drill down a little bit. Because i i understand what okay would mean for me and maybe my wife so an individual or a couple being okay. But what do you mean. What's your definition of being okay when it comes to a family. Yeah when i when you answer that when you ask. That question comes to mind immediately. Is that that great. Warren buffett quote. Who said that And i'm paraphrasing a little bit but the the perfect inherent heritage is enough money so that children feel they can do anything but not so much that they could do nothing so for for some families year they they don't want their children to want for anything and other families believe their children should work for everything and there. Maybe there's something in between that of you know. I think in this country. There's there's a myth. And i call it a mitch is that we're we are all created equally and we all have exactly the same opportunities and although i think there's some truth to that to that belief i think that the the facts are that some children have have certain advantages that others don't and you know to me it's like like many children in our society start the hundred year the hundred yard race ten yards ahead of other people now. I i don't have a problem with that. I think that's that's the world and the society that we live in. And i think the definition of okay for family is is really complicated impersonal. And there isn't a right and wrong. You know one thing i do want to say. It's just a belief that i have is that that.

"Ask them simple questions about you. Know what was going to school like when you were a kid. Or what's your favorite memory of doing something with a friend or when you had holidays who showed up at your house. You know what you remember about the holidays. Whatever but capture those things because some of those things are not something that you can uncover genealogy some of those family stories you would not be able to capture that and you want to so. That's always the first thing to do. I think people go through a lot of hard times when their parents pass and trying to figure out what to do with all this stuff and it would help you immensely to know what's important before you stand there cleaning our house here. Talk to them in bed. Learn what's important you know. What do you think we need to keep passing on rhino right. Yeah and one thing. I've done since i've been a kid. I keep letters anyone who sends me a letter. I probably still have it. And i've got letters from when i was a kid at camp. You know my mother would ren's wrote me letters or postcards. And i kept that my grandmother when i got married wrote me a card along with the gift and of course. Her english was very broken. But i love it. It's such a great because it just it's what she was all about. So when i read it i think of her right away so i keep everything i mean. A lot of my family doesn't but i do. I've got all. I've let letter my brother wrote me. And he's been dead many many years now and he used to use the word aardvark. That was his kind of term for himself. And i remember why he but he signed every letter aardvark and he would write long long letters. So i've got all of his letters and he's not around anymore and you really get a sense of who he was by reading letters sprite right. So they're important to pass onto other people to even though like no one's going to know who that was later but if they do research and now they have a letter to look at. It's just so much better right right well and just think about too. You could preserve that if you took photos of the letters in you transcribe the letters and created a small book of them. I think i'm gonna do that. You know that will maybe be more long lasting. And so what i like to tell. People is that especially boomers year. The bridge between your ancestors in your kids and you need to strengthen that bridge..

And i talking right now michael. You're you're raising my vibration. You're connecting me more spirit to source. Because when you talk we talk about god we talk about. Jesus we talk about how we're being led and guided and everything that we do your profession. It's not coming from a place of financial. Success is not coming from a place of accolades not coming from how many followers as we're gonna get we're talking about. How can we serve. The mass amount of people. There are story there. Authenticity through our word and by speaking to you and connecting to you. Strong myself with you. I get connected to higher source now. Other people that when i talk to them all we talk about is the dollars and sense. The profit loss statement the balance sheet and by talking to them more abundance comes into my life like the dollar. Start to fly without even thinking about it. So just be picking and choosing of the type of mentors that you have. If you're always thinking about dollars and cents you're to be lacking something else. It's very critical which is at aspect of servitude that aspect of creating community to help up level.
