Anton, we are talking about what I think is one of the greatest investments teams can make today, which is preventing issues in the first place. Talk about hardening, which is great. Yes, but it's also, some people would say that this is a take from 2002 and now everybody needs a system that has AI and like big data and scale and good UX and not hardening. And to me, this is a fight that would go on because I feel like you're right, yet this take has become unpopular over the years. And this is, I'm not, what do we do with it? Well, I mean, I've never been afraid of being unpopular. If I was afraid of that, I wouldn't get out of bed in the morning. I think what's interesting here maybe about our guest is he's been doing it for a very long time at Google scale and his metric, his first metric he cited for whether he knows his team is doing a good job or not, I bet our listeners will not guess what it is. And so with that tease of something that doesn't come until 15 minutes into the episode, let's turn things over to today's guest. I'm delighted to introduce today's guest. Today we are joined by Andrew Huang, senior security engineering manager at Google. Andrew, I'm really excited about talking about hardening today because I spend so much time doing threat detection. It's like I'm where hardening has fallen short and I really think most orgs are probably better served by hardening than trying to catch the bad guys after they're already in. So maybe I want to start with a bit of a step backwards in time and ask, you know, when we think about hardening systems at scale today, hardening cloud systems at scale, what's different and what should people who are leading programs hardening clouds keep in mind that's different today than what they know for say the past 20 years? Yeah, great. Thank you. So if we go back 20 years ago, the early 2000s, that was really the rise of the computer worms. You know, we saw first email worms. We had I love you, Melissa virus. Then we saw sort of direct machine to machine worms, Code Red, Nimda, and then we were really hit by SQL slammer and blaster and so on. But these worms had in common is that they were definitely operationally disruptive. They were occasionally mildly destructive, but they were not anywhere near sort of the capacity or the abilities of the viruses we see today. But what they really did was raise the awareness that, hey, we need to invest in basic hardening or our systems are going to get taken down time and again. We have to have good perimeter controls and protection. We have to invest in vulnerability management and patching. We have to do isolation between different workloads so that we don't see lateral movements. So this was really the starting point of sort of hardening industry. We invested in firewalls. We invested in intrusion detection systems, patch management, as I said, and that was really good groundwork. It was effective against these types of sort of broad worms and the things that we were seeing at the time. But year over year, there's been a steady increase in the sophistication of the attacks we have to defend against. And there's been an increase in the impact of those attacks as the attackers have gotten deeper access to our systems and the data that is really important to our businesses and all of the people who depend on us. And so we have to take that into account and continue to modernize our approach to security. Today the threat landscape is complex and the role of the security defender is critical for businesses of all sizes. At the same time, the amount of technology choice we have is ever expanding, and this is creating a number of new attack surfaces that we all have to understand and stay on top of. Cloud, of course, has brought a whole new dimension to this in terms of our understanding of identity and perimeter and the key areas that those are integrated into our business. So one of the ways that I think we all need to stay ahead is we really need to hold to our software vendors, our platform providers, and others, and across our technology supply chain to take a shared fate model with us, where we're really working together to build systems that are securable, but also secure, secure by default, secure in operation. And so that's sort of one of the key takeaways that I'd have is as a community of defenders, we need to work together to make our systems secure. What you just said, shared fate. That's clearly super different, right? There wasn't even cloud 20 years ago, really. So how does maybe, aside from the shared fate and the fact that there's this different relationship between say a cloud vendor versus a I sold you some servers and now you put them in your own rack, how does that change the picture for hardening as well? It starts from let's make sure that we're not having products that come out of the box and have default ways that an attacker could get into them, like having hardened systems that we rely on, whether that is from a software vendor or from a cloud provider is really key. The next is making sure that we are training our people on how to use the systems in a way that is secure. So when we have examples from vendors or examples from partners, that those examples take the security best practices into account and aren't asking people to do things that are short, that are a little easier, but take shortcuts that leave them vulnerable. And then last is where we have a shared platform investing in the security of that platform so it keeps all customers safe. And we don't have to, like there's never going to be as many security engineers as the industry needs that we need to really scale out our approach to security. I think the scale out part is I wanted to kind of drill into a little bit because I vaguely recall the time when kind of the previous era of people being obsessed about hardening of course, when there was a question about sure, you can give me a bunch of config advice and a bunch of things and I can apply it to a server. But once I have to apply them to 5000 servers, suddenly a lot of things change. Nowadays we're not talking about 5000 servers, we may be talking about the millions or if you talk about cloud instances, probably even larger numbers. So what is the magic in scaling the hardening? Because ultimately I still have this possibly misguided view that hardening is easy, scaling it is hard.

But a lot a lot of these people graduated before Obama was president they're still paying back student loan debt I mean people who graduated in 2002 I are paying would argue it's just gotten way out of control in terms of how expensive it is and making it almost impossible for many to pay back those loans in an easy way or a manageable way.

Meet Rebecca Whitman, The Magnetic Abundance Mentor
"So I wanna talk to my guest today because everything I talk about each week in the beginning of my show, Rebecca and I are gonna be talking about today. So Rebecca Whitman, she is called the Magnetic Abundance Mentor. I love that. She's an international best -selling author. She graduated with honors from Princeton University. She was awarded Life Coach of the Year and Empowered Woman of the Year by International Association of Top Professionals. LA Weekly Magazine featured her as one of the top seven entrepreneurs to watch in 2023. She hosts the top 1 .5 % globally ranked, balanced, beautiful, and abundant podcasts, which won the Positive Change Award. Her philosophy divides life into seven pillars of abundance, which include spiritual, physical, emotional, romantic, mental, social, and financial. She helps people achieve balance within these seven areas so that they can experience more fun and freedom in life. She has been featured in New York Weekly, Miami Magazine, and LA Weekly Magazines. In addition to her appearances on ABC and CBS, she has guested on over 100 podcasts. She has given keynote speeches at Columbia University and UCLA and has shared virtual stages with renowned thought leaders Grant Cardone, Jack Canfield, and Les Brown. You can find out more about her if you visit her website. It's RebeccaElizabethWhitman .com. Welcome, Rebecca. Thanks so much for being here with me. Thank you so much, Melissa. I'm so excited to be on your show with such a delight to have you on my show a couple weeks ago, and now we get to continue the conversation. Exactly, yeah. So I was on Rebecca's show on her podcast, The Balance Beautiful and Abundant Show, and it aired August 29th. And you guys who are listening, you can find it on any of the podcasting platforms, Apple, whatever you listen to, Spotify, Google, and yeah, you can listen to the show. And it's also, it's on YouTube too, right, Rebecca? I think you're on YouTube also. Yep, YouTube as well as Apple, Spotify, and all the podcast platforms. Absolutely. It was so much fun. It was so much fun. So yeah, so now she's here. So let's talk about you and like what got you into this kind of this abundance mindset, like starting to do this kind of work? What made you want to do it? Were you always doing this your whole life or is this something that you kind of fell into or came to, I should say? Yeah, I moved to Los Angeles 22 years ago to pursue my childhood dream of being an actress. And I had small parts on huge shows like Friends, CSI, and 24, and I never got that big break. So I supported myself at children's acting schools and the children were busy during the day at school. So I would attend spiritual lectures with great teachers of the law of attraction like Michael Beckwith, Esther Hicks, Louise Hay, Wayne Dyer, and I started applying it to my life and I got immediate results. I was making six figures working part time at a kid's acting school. And I didn't quite apply it as well to my love life. I had a series of really painful breakups with emotionally unavailable men. And I even married one thinking he would change. Three years later, I filed for divorce and my marriage was slowly and painfully unraveling as my dad was slowly and painfully dying in a nursing home. And in one of our last conversations, he asked me to write a book. And a few months later, my dad had made his transition and my marriage had dissolved and I was sitting across the desk from my financial planner. And he said, Rebecca, I find it interesting that you are making more money than you've ever made the same year that you lost your marriage and your father. And I think you should write a book. So I wrote a book based on the seven key areas of life, which I now call the seven pillars of abundance, and it's called How to Make a Six Figure Income Working Part Time. And now I help women go from burned out to balanced, beautiful, and abundant. And using these principles, I'm now happily married to my soulmate. And now I just coach women. I have the podcast and I just love this mission, teaching people they don't have to be burned out and overwhelmed to receive abundance in life.

"Was a little naive to think that once we got the president to do the loan relief back in August of 2022 that we would get that done and then we would have an ease in to repayment for the remaining 20 million people that you know the right wing dark money groups going all in to kill loan relief was you know a kick in the gut and then Kevin McCarthy basically saying we'll crash the global economy if we don't do return to repayment you know it's a lot circumstances it's people with loans who weren't seen as fully human Melissa help here me out and we talk about this a lot in the newsroom and I've had individuals who come up to me and say you took a loan out you've got a repayment if we pay it and one individual in particular said you know I chose not to go to college because saw I you know my siblings in the debt that they took on I took a different route but I was about you repayment know what do you say to that argument I think what I mean one thing that I say is that it is really terrible that back in the these are governments both at the state level and federal level quit funding higher education and they made a choice to move funding of it if you're gonna if you're poor or working class or first -generation college student you have to choose between you know getting education or going into debt and you know that's not a situation like if you're 18 or 19 you don't have savings and the idea that in our country that if your parents are wealthy they get to give you tax -free you know hundreds of thousand dollars to pay for your college and if you don't come from that kind of family your option is debt or no college or it's you know working three jobs is the bigger issue I mean I took on student debt you know and my parents kicked in what they could and got an award from the school and then took on some debt and I paid back that college debt the bigger issue I think many would argue is that the cost of higher education has just gotten out of control many times over right the rate of inflation we've all done the stories yeah bigger issue I mean that's the part I when I first started working on this back in I think it was 2010 and I come at this from being a borrower from being a person urging college students I come at this as like an impacted person who's experienced this whole system and the shame that came from it took me a long time to get over my shame of having that that I thought we would win free college first and then it would be a cleanup round to help the folks that are struggling but because of the make in the ability to do the pause and then try to do a cleanup after the cause the you know a first round of a very modest we want full cancellation but we didn't you you know whine and complain that we just got 10k or 20k we were good you know we saw that it helps real people the 20 million people and that you don't say no you don't complain when 20 million people have a chance to have a decent life so what's the solution here because the part that I have trouble understanding is if we cancel student loan debt but we don't address the cost college then we're gonna end up in the next generation with the same exact issue and it could even be worse right is which why we need to have free public college we need to fix the way graduate programs work right now a lot of universities will offer these master's programs that are basically used to help fund the whole university. What are some examples of that? You know for example you'll see like these like random policy degree programs or what you're seeing now on as a whole growth of they're called online program managers which are these online master's programs at university so you'll see them in social work or other kinds of programs like that so people are going into like 200 grand of debt to get this online degree USC in California had a big scandal around this and then the money from that goes into just the general funds because it doesn't cost that much money to you know educate somebody online and so I think that these are things to look for. Look at the what administration did I think it was last week in terms of the gainful employment regulations and to have that also apply to graduate schools but I think it really it all goes back to a value is like should people when they hit 18 or whatever age they want an education should they have it should it be paywalled whether you want to become a welder or you want to cure cancer so you need to go from like undergrad to med school like should that be paywalled and should we have it where we're families the F I 29 programs safe for their kids college but not making a path for kids that are working class or middle class to be able to go on and get that education and they become like you know functional contributing whatever that education is getting the education because you want to work at a hospital and draw and blood do that. Melissa we just have about a minute left here if I could just pop in because I'm curious many would argue that the top end of the income strata and the

Meet Marie Antoinette Kelley, Author of Children's Book "Danny's Day in Heaven"
"Now I'm excited to talk to my guest today, Marie Antoinette Kelly. So she is an award -winning artist who has done hundreds of commissioned portraits, as well as the art for the Angel Quest Oracle. She has appeared on dozens of TV, radio, and podcast shows, and has been published in such magazines as Edge and Authority. Danny's Day in Heaven is a wonderful gift for anyone who has ever asked or had to answer the all -important question, what happens when we die? This illustrated beautifully children's book follows a young boy through his near -death experience to heaven and back. A happy ending helps to open the conversation between children and adults about what happens when we die. Danny is like any other kid on the beach. He wants to have fun, though he's a bit of a bully. While he's surfing the waves one day, a storm rolls in, catching him by surprise. The water pulls him under, and Danny finds himself going through a tunnel of colors and light, appearing in a radiant world with unexpected friends. What he discovers, who he meets, and the lessons he learns before returning to earth will ease children's fears and give hope to readers both young and old about life after death. So if you want to find out more about it, you can check out Marie Antoinette's website and more about Danny's Day in Heaven. And then go to MakeMAKFineArt .com. It's M -A -K -F -I -N -E -A -R -T dot com. Welcome Marie Antoinette, thanks for joining me. Hi, Melissa, thank you for the introduction, I'm so happy to be here. Oh my God, I love the book so much, and I love your artwork as a fellow artist. I love the drawings, they're just beautiful, and it really helps tell the story. And I think it's, yeah, I really think it's a great book for kids because it leaves you feeling very comforted after the story, right, about what does happen when we die. So okay, you're the author and the illustrator, and it's just amazing that you put it together and you're talking about an NDE experience, which is near death experience. And so what made you interested in creating the story and writing the story? Well, I suppose there's a lot of ways to answer that because there's so many angles of my life that feed into the story. I'm sure there are, right? The main drive for it is that, you know, I was a child who was really afraid of death, and so that stuck with me all through my life. And over the years after I grew up as an adult, I started to find answers, you know, near death stories and what really happens when we die. And I kept thinking, you know, I have my own kids along the way, and I kept thinking, we need to share this information with kids so they don't have to have that fear that I had and be left in the dark because I felt as a child, you know, earlier, and now there's a lot of information out there, and probably there are quite a few parents who share the information that they've learned as grown -ups with their kids. But there isn't anything official for children that really helps them face the questions that are on their minds that I had as a kid, and that was one of my passions, to get that out. Yeah. Yeah, no, you're right. I mean, there are many books out there for adults on NDEs, and I know this book is loosely adapted from another author, and this person actually experienced an NDE, what is it? Is it Dainian Brinkley? Dainian. Yeah, Dainian Brinkley. Mm -hmm. He's Yeah. one of, of course, one of the most complete near -death experiences on record. He himself was dead for 32 minutes, and that was in 1975, I believe, so it was in the early days of when this phenomenon was first documented, and people would actually begin telling these stories. And, of course, with all the medical advances, more people have had the chance to, you know, die and be resuscitated, and in fact, I was also in that situation later on in my life, but that doesn't really come into play in this story.

Here comes the one and only Eric Mataxas. Hey there, folks. Welcome to the show. It's my privilege to introduce you today to someone to whom I have just been introduced. I'm talking about Pastor Alan Mashburn. Pastor Alan Mashburn is one of those crazy pastors who doesn't understand that you got to keep religion out of politics. You should never mix the two. Well, maybe I'm kidding. Alan Mashburn is running. Pastor Alan Mashburn is running to be the 36th lieutenant governor of North Carolina. Now, I don't know if you folks know, but the current lieutenant governor of North Carolina is a hothead, a Christian named Mark Robinson, who is just one of the brightest lights in American politics today. So he, I'm told by Pastor Alan Mashburn, is going to be running for governor. Praise the Lord. And Alan Pastor Mashburn is running for lieutenant governor. All I can tell you is I'm ready to move to North Carolina if this happens. Pastor Alan Mashburn, welcome to this program. Well, thank you, Eric. It's an honor to be on. I appreciate all you have done in promoting conservatism and Christian causes. Well, listen, you and I know that we forget about conservatism and Christian causes. We're just interested in truth. And it just so happens that in this crazy day and age, that falls into the category of conservatism or Christian causes. But it used to fall in the category of common sense and reality. And we are now at a point where the insane left, sometimes the demonic left, has been really at war with reality and with the God of the Bible, with his reality and with everywhere we look. So we're seeing moral corruption. We've never seen anything like it, let's be honest, in our lifetimes, never seen anything like it. So it thrills me that you, who are a pastor, are running for lieutenant governor in North Carolina. I heard Mark Robinson speak, I don't know, about a year ago someplace. And I thought, wow, this is tremendous that we have men of God running for public office, winning public office. I want to talk to you about everything. But give me a little bit of a background on yourself. Where did you grow up and how did you come to be who you are today? Well, I grew up in central North Carolina and North Carolina has always been home, except for the time I moved away in college. I have been a pastor for over 30 years and I have a family, of course, my wife, Melissa. We have four children all the way from ages 19 down to age four.

Amy Pravat -Perko, CEO of the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics, says there are a lot of opportunities for college athletes to make money through their name, image and likeness, or NIL, now that the Supreme Court just about a year ago gave it all a thumbs up. Athletes are benefiting like never before from these new opportunities to earn compensation from their use of their NIL. Athletes like UCLA quarterback Chase Griffin. He has a $90 ,000 valuation as a brand ambassador and even gymnast and University of Florida grad Trinity Thomas and Jack Betts, a wide receiver at Division III Amherst College, are scoring big bucks.

Spotify has allowed me the flexibility to share my unique perspective and allow fans to interact with the Q &A polls. Download Spotify for podcasters right now. This Lizzo story is crazy. Welcome to Convo Over Cigars. I'm your host, Derrick Andre Flemming. Man, I'm listening to these three backup dancers talk about Lizzo and what happened while they were dancers on her special tour. And I've spoken in the past on my, me being a huge fan of Lizzo, I am. I've always said that. I think that her rants about body positivity and loving oneself despite your size or your weight were spot on. But these recent allegations against the 35 -year -old four -time Grammy -winning singer are quite disturbing. Like I said, I've always been a huge Lizzo fan, so this is a little bit surprising, some of the things that I'm hearing, and we'll talk about it. The About Damn Time singer has been accused of creating a hostile work environment and sexual harassment by three of her former backup dancers. The lawsuit filed by the dancers also alleged misconduct by her production company, Big Girl Big Touring Incorporated, and her dance team captain, a woman by the name of Shirlene Quigley. Among the claims included in the suit is that Lizzo pressured dancers into unwanted sexual situations, put dancers through grueling and impromptu dance rehearsals, and made extremely insensitive comments about a dancer's weight gain. Now Lizzo pushed back against these allegations claiming that they are as unbelievable as they sound, and too outrageous not to be addressed. She has also hired Hollywood lawyer Marty Singer, this is an attorney who previously worked with Jonah Hill, Kim Kardashian, and Chris Brown. This is who Lizzo has hired to represent her. Now the dancers claim in the lawsuit that touring with the Grammy winner meant working in an overtly sexual atmosphere that subjected them to harassment. While working on Lizzo's tour, these dancers were exposed to outings where nudity and sexuality were a focal point. This was according to a copy of the lawsuit obtained by NBC News. The defendants include Lizzo, whose full name is Melissa Jefferson, her touring company, and tour dance captain. Now one disturbing claim is that while at a nightclub in Amsterdam, Lizzo invited performers to touch nude performers and handle dildos and bananas used in their performances. Out of fear of retaliation, a dancer eventually acquiesced to touching the breast of a nude performer, despite repeatedly expressing an interest in not doing so. I believe the allegations against Lizzo. I do. To just be honest, that's my first gut reaction. This is all true. I don't think people would make up those types of things. I think it's too elaborate, their description of what actually took place. However, I also see a money grab. I feel like these young women are being coached as I watch them coyously being interviewed by the different news outlets. This is a big story. They seem as if they've been told exactly what to say, and their accounts of what actually happened were a little adjusted by attorneys and legal folks. I that believe Lizzo actually did these things, I do. But I think they also knew what they signed up for and actually enjoyed reaping the rewards of being on tour with Lizzo. However, after they were fired, all of these people, these three dancers were all fired. Now they want to spill the beans. It's like when you sign up for something and you know some of the things that are going on are a little bit crazy and unorthodox, but you're on tour with Lizzo. You're making money, you're dancing, you're getting to travel for basically free, you're getting free meals. So they enjoyed it until they got fired. And then once they got fired, they're like, we're just going to tell how bad of a person she actually really is. So I'm calling BS on a lot of this Lizzo shame, a lot of this coming against the Grammy Award winning singer. I've always supported Lizzo. I think her stance against fat shaming and body positivity has been a remarkable one. So I'm calling BS on these dancers basically suing her. I believe it. I believe a lot of what happened. And it is a little bit shocking that she would do some of these things that it makes her sound like she's an over sexualized person who enjoys, you know, kind of like perverted sexual things, you know, especially on her tours. But I think these people kind of knew what was going on. And I'm seeing it puts me in the mind frame of the R. Kelly thing all over again. You never really know who these people are. Lizzo is a huge celebrity. But do you actually really know these people and their private lives? So this is not overly shocking, but I'm kind of calling BS on their lawsuit. We're going to wait and see what transpires with this trending story. You guys have been locked into another edition of Convo Over Cigars. I'm your host, Derrick Andre Flemming. Everybody have a fantastic weekend. Take care.

From Childhood Trauma to Adult Freedom: Susan Gold's Brave Journey
"Susan Gold was raised in a challenging and chaotic family system, the middle child of five, to fully thrive, she bravely chose to meet the demons of her upbringing that we're continuing to repeat, her book, Toxic Family, Transforming Childhood Trauma Into Adult Freedom, is about that journey. In a small rural town in central Pennsylvania, young Susie is facing trauma as the middle child in a violent and chaotic household. Her brilliant alcoholic astrophysicist father and equally ingenious mentally ill homemaking mother have collided in dysfunction, creating five children in short succession with covert and overt abuse running rampant, a riveting and intense chronicle of a childhood filled with harsh initiations all led to a masterful and thought -provoking transformation. The ebullient belief and determination of a young girl with a vision who would not bend to self -destruct, but rather would convert her experience to triumph are told masterfully in this stunning work. Susan leaves us with support and practical tools she uses today to move forward, centered around each section's theme, breath work, journaling, meditation, movement, all combined in a creative healing process. She is leading retreats, webinars, workshops, and private sessions to help others drop outdated storylines and programming in exchange for living from the heart in authentic freedom as adults. So if you want to find out more about Susan, you can go to her website, susangold .us. Welcome, Susan. Thanks so much for being here today. Melissa, I'm thrilled to be here. And oh my gosh, you are leading us with such heart and such creativity. Your website is beautiful. Your manifesting postcards are amazing. And the book idea is genius. I'm going to go hit click and put it in my cards. Oh, thank you. Yeah. It was really great to put it together. You know, it was, I mean, you know, we're going to talk about your book. Now your book is a very, very personal memoir of some very painful experiences that you went through. Like mine, I mean, I, you know, pain got me to where I needed to go, but mine was more fun putting together and light, you know? So I can't even imagine what that must have been. Having the courage to write your story, you want to share a little bit with us about your story and what made you feel like you wanted to share it with people? Well, in 2007, I was told by an Irish clear that I had a book to write and I promptly shoved that idea under the closest carpet. 2019, Then in I had back to back intuitive tell me I had a book to write the last one telling me I had three books to write. And I thought, okay, I better get busy before it's a fricking library. So I was encouraged to write my own personal and professional experience. I was told it was unique and I said, how is this unique? It's sort of like everyone. But I got to it and yeah, no, my story isn't like everyone's, thank goodness. And toxic family is not my title. It's my publisher's title, but my title was transforming childhood trauma into adult freedom because that's what it is to me. I've done so much work over decades and it really found healing. And Melissa, maybe it's remnants of my Southern California days, but I do believe that I was placed in my family with purpose and I have tremendous respect for the roles that my dad and my mom played along with my siblings. And I have gratitude and that's been a transformative shift for me

Professional Caregiver Melissa's Advice: "Be Completely Positive"
"If you could tell somebody something, who is going through it, but yet their caregiver or caretaker, or it's a family member who just found out one of their loved ones has been diagnosed, and now they woke up in a position that they didn't go to sleep in, what would you say to them to not panic, or just have that frustration, or they're probably terrified? What could you say to them? Because I mean, you're the person who's enduring it all, and yet you're still going. So what would you say to somebody else? Just go in with the attitude to be completely positive. Sorry. Completely positive, and just be strong. And don't worry about it, nothing, just go, just fight it out. Hey, thank you, thank you, I agree with you, and sometimes that's easier said than done, so I always tell people just take a deep breath and breathe. And if you can't, grab an oxygen mask and get you some oxygen, and that means tagging someone in, because you're never alone. You don't have to do this by yourself. The good thing about it is Melissa has gained a group of followers, and on these followers, she has all these people that are coming to her aid and tagging themselves in, nurses, friends, co -workers, family members. I mean, she has her church members, prayer warriors, so with all that love and support, Sarah, you wonder where does it come from when you get the call, your mother or father has dementia or Alzheimer's, now you're looking for your A -team, or you want to put together your group, where are

Federal probe finds hospitals that denied emergency abortion broke law
"The Biden administration's warning hospitals that it violates federal law to deny emergency abortions to women whose lives are in jeopardy, citing a recent case. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says two hospitals. One in Missouri and one in Kansas refused to provide an emergency abortion to Melissa farmer of Joplin, Missouri, putting her life in jeopardy and breaking the law with their refusals. HHS secretary Javier becerra says farmer went into premature labor at 17 weeks, the fetus would not survive, and she could lose her uterus, but because there was a fetal heartbeat, the states prohibited an abortion. He says federal law protecting a mother trumps the state laws protecting a fetus and says farmers should have never gone through this terrifying ordeal. Finally getting an abortion in Illinois.

How Journalism Died in America With John Solomon
"You have worked everywhere that was a name in the mainstream media before you created just a news dot com, is there any of those entities? That are establishment that still Ghana your respect. I'm just curious, or have they all lost the plot? Melissa, I think they're it's hard to judge brands anymore because the brands are a combination of so many different compliment complicated figures and there are some really great reporters that institutions that aren't doing really great reporting right now. And the Colombian journalism review, I've had big criticism of in the last few years because I think they've failed to monitor the profession the way it should be. But then they published an amazing article back a few weeks ago from Jeff girth and multiple Pulitzer winner from an earlier era of The New York Times. Literally exposing what went on in The New York Times in Washington Post newsrooms and why they got so much wrong about Russia. So even an organization that has been astray sometimes connects with a great reporter and a great reporter does good journals and we learn from it. I judge every story on its merits, I try not to judge a book by its cover, and so every story I try to critically evaluate, hey, that looks like something that's very valuable. Let's go check that out. This one looks a little bit off. The bass and a bias. I can see what the report is doing here. I'm just going to dismiss that. But I think readers are becoming far more discerning. And they came to trust that when Walter Cronkite came through your television tube in the 70s and 80s that you could take his word for it. He wasn't trying to get you to do it. He was personally liberal. He would later reveal in life. But when he got on air, he tried to just give you the facts and trust you to make up your mind. That era has left us for a great part of the anchors that we now watch. And I think people are saying, well, I got to go get more on my own. I got to go check out other sources, and that's why your show is so amazing. And so popular, my Justin news is starting to grow and other Matt taibbi's substack is growing. I think people just discerning and looking for that truth and they can tell the difference between a truth seeker and a truth hijacker. And I think they're trying to split the difference and try to find the places they can still get facts.

Scott Couch: Latest Developments From Nashville School Shooting
"Of new developments? It seems like every few minutes we're learning something new, one of the things I continue to believe is morning is we've got some new definitive information about how the head mistress at this school Catherine coons came out of her office, left a Zoom call to confront the shooter and was shot down outside her office, one of the metro council and here who serves that district and the connection inside the school also law enforcement background, provided that information initially, it was backed up by the chief of women's challenge break saying that, yeah, by the way, her body was down in the hallway. It appears that she has another hero stepped up to put herself in between pure evil and the children at her school. And then just a little while before we were preparing to come on, I learned from my office that the actress, Melissa Joan Hart, who I believe was just been a number of things, but that's Sabrina, the teenage witch was going to national television shows, lives in the area. She had her husband over on their way for a conference at their children's school, not the school, but nearby. And were among those who helped children cross busy. As they emerged from the Woods, being led by school personnel to escape that shooter and it's just one thing after another. And then late last night, we learned that our own governor Bill Lee had a personal connection to this tiny school of just a little over 200 students. The substitute teacher, misses peak, who was just there for the day, turns out she's a very close friend, close personal friend of our First Lady in Tennessee, and was to have dinner with the governor and his wife after a home after subbing at the school that day. And just the transit is just stuck in the compound and the heartbreak and all the people with personal connections to it. These things impact a community for a lifetime.

Why all this activity? Melissa Dalton is assistant defense secretary for homeland defense.

And so we used to check in with each other just about once a day just to say, how's it going? What do you have going on? And she said, so I have something to tell you. And I said, what's that? She said, I left my job. Big pause. All in all in. I knew. I knew this was going to be something bigger than 5 chapters. So the decision was we stay working full time. We're moms we're both boy moms and then we had women's business league on the side and our 5 chapters were everything to us. And I knew if we were going to do this, we were going to do it well. I'm going to give it a 150% of me. And I knew to do that correctly, I had made that decision. So you hear that news and then you said to yourself, well, if she can do it, I can do it. It's true. Well, what happened was I got so busy in the mortgage business as a result of our local chapter. I realized I hate mortgages. But I was so on fire for building this community for helping women really live into their purpose. And so although the mortgages didn't work out, it really nudged me onto my entrepreneurial path and I found my mission in my purpose. How did you make it through the pandemic? Amy and I came together and we realized that we needed each other more now than we ever did. Even before the pandemic, I was meeting people on the baseball field at the deli line and the grocery store and that all stopped, right? So we realized very quickly that we still need this community. We still need to be intentionally networking. So we were able to really shift everything onto a virtual platform and we killed it. I mean, we really did.

San Francisco Voters Oust Three School Board Members in Recall Vote
"As you know, parents are rising up to take control of their kids education, or taking back control from the public sector teacher unions from the powers that have been teaching this woke orthodoxy, this radical, sexual education, mask mandates, vaccine mandates, and quietly below the radar, there was a recall effort that was launched in San Francisco to recall school board members. Last evening, San Francisco school board members, three of them were ousted in a landslide recall vote landslide. San Francisco has successfully recalled three members of the city school board. I'm reading from the post millennial dot com, after a vote Tuesday, showing that residents of San Francisco were overwhelmingly in favor of removing the progressives from their posts. And the demographic that turned out in large numbers to remove the school board members were Asian American voters. One of the main reasons were they saw the policies of the school board to be anti Asian and their right. Because CRT was starting to be used for admission policies and public comments. For example, Asian Americans were being explicitly discriminated against in admissions to schools across San Francisco. We already know that's been happening in colleges. State senator Melissa Melendez shared the results, which revealed the school board vice president Allison Collins, school board president Gabriela Lopez, and fagua, maliga would all be removed from the school board. With those in favor, compromising over 70% of the vote. So when they were actually put up on a ballot, 70% of the people in the local area wanted these school board members removed. San Francisco mayor London breed. I think she was the one that was in the nightclub where she said she was feeling the energy for not wearing a mask. She said, quote, the voters of this city have delivered a clear message that the school board most focus on the essentials of delivering a well run school system above all else. She has previously slammed the school board for being too concerned with political agendas. This is the same school board. I don't know if it's a specific school board, but it's part of the whole kind of geographic educational complex that wanted to rename the Abraham Lincoln school. Because Abraham Lincoln was a white supremacist.

"Melissa, the last things that I'm curious about is kind of like your podcast, your direction, what you've learned, what you haven't learned, what you're going to do, what you would have done different. All of that, we learned a ton from you. And now I want to wondering is. So I've got three things to wrap up today's conversation with you. And we've learned ton so far. The first one is what is the biggest challenge you're facing with your podcast today? Yeah, my biggest challenge would definitely be getting more listeners, having them growth. And so that's the challenge. I'm working on that now by getting someone on board on my team to help me to have a stronger social media presence and get more listeners. Fantastic. What is the most rewarding or the biggest value to you that you've experienced so far since you started your podcast? The biggest value for me is honestly, I just love it. I love the guest. I love what we talk about. It really improves my quality of life. And it's just a fun time. But of course, also, I'm promoting my services and I'm getting more people to sign up for my masterclass. That's good because I'm using those ads. I'm promoting myself as my own sponsor on my podcast. But it's just definitely the experience. I love it. I love podcasting. That is so brilliant that you're doing that. And to the listener, I absolutely 100% think that you need to be monetizing your show. She's monetizing her show with her own masterclass that gets probably into another level of working with her one on one. And so for you, in particular, I want you to be doing the exact same thing. I want you to be able to monetize your show and I'm trying to think episode 5 episode ten in episode 30 are all about monetization. Episode 5, episode ten in episode 30. So if you want more value on how to.

"But I think you have like 15 here or 12 here. So number one pro is you knew that you had to have a first impression. Because the first impression is the lasting impression. Number two, you focused on the cover art. And part of that, later on, you mentioned that you used canva to do it, which is another huge benefit. We'll put a link to canva in the show notes so that if you want to use the same thing and be able to do some of this on your own without hiring somebody with a high expense, you will be able to still make something that looks professional. You also talked about a trendy name, a name that would trend a title of the podcast that people would see. I also loved it. You talked about how it needs to resonate with your exact listener. And you went in to knowing the importance of niching down finding your niche of basically focus of focusing on one thing. And I remember just as we were starting to record it probably wasn't on the recording. So I'll definitely bring it up to the listener. With you, you have your MBA, you also have some designation about nutrition. I don't even know what it's called. It's so fancy. And additionally, your mindset coach. And with your podcast, you don't really go all out there. You're not one of those people that says, hey, I'll just have a podcast about all the cool things that I do. You found that you needed a niche and you did a great job actually niching down. But additionally, if you ever go on and talk about nutrition, it goes hand in hand with that episode about still with mindset. So I love it. And just kind of growing I think that's critical and it's important because others, they kind of get off the tracks. And when you're a train, it's not good when you're not on the tracks. So you've got to stay focused, you've got to stay going the right direction. You don't want to be derailed. And so you'd also don't want your listener to feel derailed. So I've learned a lot from you already just from those few things, making sure that it's something that people can resonate with. Niching down, staying on track. Knowing the value that you deliver to your listener, the episodes are focused, your social media is focused. And here's a huge one that you mentioned. It's consistency no matter what. And it can be tough. I don't know if you felt this way, Melissa, have you ever felt like man, I don't know if I want to keep doing this..

It's going to be difficult for me to achieve something because really it's just your brain that's holding you back. Well, perfect. Perfect. So have I and probably Melissa, who's on the podcast today, has probably felt that way as well. And then she's devoted her life and time and attention to helping people to be able to overcome those limiting beliefs. And so she Melissa Smith, who's on the podcast. Her podcast is called high vibe mindset. So you go and check that out, especially if you resonated with anything that I mentioned a moment ago. She and her husband get together. He's a PA, and she's a mindset coach and a dietician. And so what they do, they come together and they just help people as their new entrepreneurs themselves to be able to avoid and get past these limiting beliefs so that you can excel. So if you feel like you could use a little bit of that perfect, she's already got a podcast like that. And she started it January of 2021. And so as we're recording, not too long ago, and so I'm just looking at all these episodes and each and every one of them has something in there that I want to learn..

"Melissa, I'm so glad to be with you here today. To get started, we usually ask you a couple short questions so we can learn a little bit more about you. So first off, can you tell me what's your name? And what's the name of your business? Hi. So I'm Melissa finken binary and my business is the same name Melissa finke binary. So what do you do? So I'm an artist. That is actually why I decided to keep my name instead of taking on an actual separate business name. So I actually do a little bit of jewelry, some fine art and most recently I've started to kind of tinkering in the area of surface pattern design. Okay, I'm definitely going to have to ask you questions about that later because the idea of an EFM business that has actual product and not just services is incredibly difficult to comprehend for me. So we'll get back to that. But in the meantime, I guess knowing that you have kind of an impractical EFM business, do you also have something impractical in your life that you bring around with you some kind of big memory or big piece of furniture or something like that? I have to say all of the studio like furniture and tools and stuff. It's starting to put a little bit of a dent on our weight allowance, but in my opinion, it's very practical to take around. So I'd actually probably say our books one day, I will have my floor to ceiling bookshelves, but in the meantime, we are constantly moving books in and out of storage and continue to buy more every time we get to a new post. So having a lot of bookshelves high on your bidding priority list. Not necessarily because like I said, we are usually move books out and then new ones come in. And so we start a post usually with the bookshelves half full and by the time we leave we're like, oh no, have we done? I feel for you on this one. My bookshelves are the same. So other than Japan, where I know you are now, what other countries have you been posted to? Our very first one was Myanmar, also known as Burma. After that, we did two years in Armenia, and then we did back to back tours in Zimbabwe. So it was four years there all together, be form a coming here, and we've been here just just over a year. So you've been in a lot of different bureaus. I love that you've gotten to live on different continents. Yes, I said it's like we're doing a circle. So we must go back to EU next or something like that. And then I AF after that. Excellent. A rotation. Exactly..

I'd like to see writers incorporated into their scripts producers budget and schedule for it. I wanna see directors. Direct would description as tangible part of a production is all of the other elements it you know. I want to see it become part of the actual creative process part of the actual film or show. Because i think it would enhance everything. It would make films and shows more creative. I think and it would. It's not just a matter of bringing a a community in to what everybody else already has access to. But i think it would enhance the material enormously for for both blind audiences incited audiences or anything else. You'd like to share with our audience. I mean you could bring the ad companies into the process earlier if you could budget for the description as part of the actual production budget just like everything else is budgeted.

"I'm not saying the extremely exposed and cry like all these different things that you might associate with 'vulnerability but when you don't have an answer that's okay. It's okay to say. I don't have the answer right now. Here's what we're doing. Here's where we need your help. We're gonna find the answer together. And we're going and so there's this balance in true leadership in my opinion between balancing the ability the strength to be vulnerable and relatable and trustworthy as results and also being providing the authority and the reassurance and the hope that the people that you're leading need and to me the best strongest leaders and i'm talking about some chiefs of police that are my heroes that as human beings are just you know if all those fields if these people still believe in me. I'm i'm good. I'm set because as leaders. This is what they exude in this. Who they are and this is what they create. I know other corporate leaders that are the same. So i think if i had to kind of summarize it into distill it into one attribute and it's not even just an attribute that it's it's a commitment. It's if you don't have this naturally again it's learnable skill but to your point. It's a decision that we need to make as individuals and commit to and continuously strive to improve. There's five hindrances to be in crisis. Ready that i've observed throughout my career that kind of tried to consolidate into five. And they are avoidance so not wanting to see choosing not to see it ego and ego we all have ego. We need ego to be human and we need a to to be motivated aspired in just drive. Success ego becomes a crisis ready hindrance or a crisis leadership hindrance when it blocks out your humanity when it blocks out that vulnerability so knowing when that comes up because that's also human So knowing when that comes up with anyone and how to check that takes practice digs a lot of practice. So avoidance ego fear ignorance and politics and looking at each one week ago we could spend a whole podcasters penedes. Second each one of those but again. Yeah so that's kind of distilled. That's what i would say for true. That are crisis. Ready that i look up to personally. We'll melissa you mentioned earlier and jotted down. You said do right by the people you serve and reason i wrote that down and thinking about i teach i teach crisis. I have a lot. I don't teach crisis.

"Melissa Harris Perry in for 10, Xena Vega in hearing about the drought emergency in California. My mind immediately thought of how water intensive our current food supply chain is particularly when it comes to meet. According to the water footprint calculator, 1800 gallons of water are needed per pound of beef produced. It's hard to wrap your head around. It's also one of the reasons I want to turn now to look at how we as Americans consume meat. In April, the recipe site Epicurious announced that they would no longer be publishing new recipes that use beef. They cited beasts, environmental impact and the greenhouse gas emissions associated with raising livestock in their reasoning. Not long after the EPICURIOUS announcement, 11 Madison Park, a New York based Michelin starred restaurant announced they would stop serving animal products, also pointing to sustainability. Announcements were met with mixed reactions and reignited conversations about the role and responsibilities of individual consumers for battling climate change. In the US, where meat is often the centerpiece of our meals and were, according to the USDA, the average American. It's £222 of poultry and red meat a year as of 2018. Reducing or removing meat from our diets can feel like a big hurdle. Joining me now is Alicia Kennedy, a food writer and author of the newsletter From the Desk of Alicia Kennedy. Alicia. Welcome to the takeaway. Thank you so much for having me, Melissa. Talk to me about how significant the decision was for Epicurious to decide to no longer publish beef recipes. It is a hugely significant decision in the food media landscape where meat is still really, really prominent, you know, as well as shrimp as well as fish. You know, there's no kind of move in the broad food media toward saying hey, that there is a problem with the amount of of meat And animal products that we consume in the United States. There's very much a sense that we have to say that it's okay to eat as much be for as much chicken as you want. We have to say that it's okay to, you know, get these products anywhere, you know, not go to your local butcher. Not make sure the the rancher is is using sustainable practices. You know, it's very much Hedonistic type of approach to eating and consuming meat. Especially and so when Epicurious made this decision, they really broke with the food media kind of unspoken rule that you don't tell people that anything is bad about something that we eat. So let's talk a little bit about what what are the problems? Around meat consumption. And then this more collective question of why it might not be good for us as a species as a planet. Um so can you maybe say a little bit about both. Sure, well, the food system globally accounts for one third of greenhouse gas emissions, and so that encompasses lots of different things. That's not just me. But beef specifically accounts for 14.5% of that. And so a lot of that is maybe not. Specifically the practices of B for that sort of thing, but in total, how the way we produce the way we process the way we transfer, and and transport beef accounts for 14.5%, and so that's a that's a big chunk of those emissions. And it's also yes this place where we can make a personal choice to reduce or give up consumption of this product totally because of its impact. And personal choice, of course, is a tricky subject because we want to talk about, you know, really getting at those corporations who are responsible for their you know massive amounts of greenhouse gas emissions. We don't want to say it's all of our personal problem that has caused global warming. But at the same time, we can make these smaller choices in our day to day lives that make a difference. And recognize you know the big impact of of what we eat on the climate change. And also, you know if we were going to kind of change the way we produced and processed beef, if we were going to stop subsidizing industrial, meat and dairy and the factory farms, we would have to change how we consume. We would have to probably lower that amount of meat. We're eating every year from £222, you know, going to have to drastically reduce that, and that would be kind of a natural progression. If if we did. Change regulations, so it's a very tricky subject because it is about all of us. But it's also about how we all respond to you know this knowledge and also the fact that the government does subsidize those industrial beef and dairy two for $38 billion a year and so it's not I A. You know, it's not all about our personal decisions. It is about the regulations and it is about the government. Um, and you know that money is making the cost of meat artificially low in the supermarkets. It's not accounting for the workers who are often you know, not Paid properly. Not they haven't been attended to properly during the Covid 19 pandemic. I believe 59,000 meat processing workers came down with Covid 19, and it's these places where they are situated. These factory farms they're going to have run off that is going to have environmental lead detrimental impacts on people who live in those areas. Um, so it's a really big issue. But at the same time, one of the only ways we have to combat it is to say I'm not going to eat meat that where if I don't know where it's coming from, let's talk about our actual plate. So for so many Americans who are brought up with a particular you know, the meat is the biggest part. Then there's a little starch and maybe a little starchy vegetable right next to it. What does a plate look like? That isn't that I stopped eating me 10 years ago, and so I don't remember even what it was like a little too to center..

"When they're focusing and so i wanted to circle back one one more time to the training in terms of if we're we're looking at how do we live out our our values and our preserved diversity equity and inclusion the workplace. So not only investing in making sure that your policies are up to date or that. They're proactive in terms of being able to maintain the workplace culture as we continue to move through the pandemic but that training four clients around diversity equity inclusion could actually help mitigate further litigation down the road and actually is one one tool that that illegal freshman has in terms of advising their clients. Yeah i think that's definitely right. I think the training is the most important aspect of the program when we find ourselves at a scenario. Or if you were to give me a scenario now and asked me what i would do. I think i could probably give you a fairly intelligible answer and it would probably be pretty accurate. It would be a d. I type answer but when you find yourself in the grind of everyday life and something happens to you that you or you're in that situation respondents. You're not thinking. What should i be doing from a human rights framework. So i think having training that puts you into those situations that forces you to think okay. This situation occurred to me your role playing in your answer that on a regular basis certainly grain those responses inside. So at least it's going to pop into your mind navy. This isn't the right thing to do or they'll be a flag in. You can catch yourself. So i think back to training and like i said this is why i'm doing this podcast because i have a lot of respect for the training that you offer and so i think it's that kind of training that so important for legal professionals to be pushing with clients to help them actually edgy meaningful. Change in in have it built into their mind when they're in these situations. This is how i want to respond to. This is what. I should be cautious. I think that's important. Yeah and i think just We don't talk about often on the podcast. But i think you're right and we mentioned earlier. Is that a lot of employers and people leaders want to do the right thing but when they're faced as you said with a sort of a new situation i think human tendency is to freeze and and we don't know exactly how to react so we either don't do anything or we have this knee-jerk reaction and may not happen the way that we want to but when we practice and have have gone through a similar situation in through a scenario than we actually have something that we can go back to in reference in our minds and say oh i did this scenario. This is a fairly similar situation. I think i know exactly how i will handle this time and it. We just don't have often enough practice. And i think that's the real key. Is that inclusion is a skill that needs to be practiced and a lot of us are out of practice. Yeah i think that's right. And i think also what i see so when i'm acting employers on the employee side. Ico reluctance from employers would review the training. We might have to get the settlement. But they don't really want it. And i think it's a job whether especially when i'm on the employers acting for employers to tell them regardless of what happened in this legal case years what this person perceived here's what they experienced. It doesn't hurt to have the training. It doesn't hurt to be more in tune with law with the protocols with how you're going to behave in a certain situation because even though you may not see it it may be there in. It's going to help you have that reflection in in. Maybe you'll see it afterwards. So i think from professionals perspective in this is something. We don't do enough work with employers to make them understand the real benefit of the training as opposed to do this to get a subtle think that really brings it all together there. The the importance of training and really what legal professionals can do as we move into twenty twenty one to make diversity equity and inclusion priority. I wanna thank you wade so much for sharing your expertise for really having. I think a lot more about the role that the legal profession can and does play in our diversity equity inclusion and really thinking about how we can move forward throughout the pandemic in a way. That's going to improve the lives of employees and businesses in a meaningful way given the constraints that we do have so. I want to thank everyone who tuned in for joining me on just one you.
