A highlight from POA5 Know your Commander and Comrades Put On The Armor A Manual for Spiritual Warfare w/Dr. Paul Thigpen Ph.D. Discerning Hears Catholic Podcasts
"Discerninghearts .com, in cooperation with TAN Books, presents Put on the Armor, A Manual for Spiritual Warfare, with Dr. Paul Thickepen. Dr. Thickepen is an internationally known speaker, bestselling author, and award -winning journalist who has published 43 books in a wide variety of genres and subjects, including The Rapture Trap, A Catholic Response to End Times Fever, and The Manual for Spiritual Warfare, the book on which this series is based. In 2008, Dr. Thickepen was appointed by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to their National Advisory Council. He has served the Church as a theologian, historian, apologist, evangelist, and catechist in a number of settings, speaking frequently in Catholic and secular media broadcasts and at conferences, seminars, parish missions, and scholarly gatherings. Put on the Armor, A Manual for Spiritual Warfare, with Dr. Paul Thickepen. I'm your host, Chris McGregor. Paul, thank you again so much for joining me. Thanks for the invitation to be here, Chris. God bless you. Well, in our previous conversations, we've kind of delineated what the battle is and who the enemy and some of the different ways he and those evil spirits, essentially the diabolical spirits, can assail us. But in this particular series of conversations, we want to talk about the commanders and our comrades who are just incredible in why the victory has been won. And it's so important because it's the warfare can be intense. And you start thinking about the power that the devil has and his demons and those kinds of things. It could be easy to get terrified or intimidated. But the good news is that he's already been defeated and that our Lord, by his passion and death and resurrection, has already defeated him. And that's why St. Paul could say to the Corinthians, thanks be to God, who's given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. So that's so incredible. We would be lost without him. It would be terrible. You know, I think back to the days when my final days as an atheist and where I had begun to encounter demonic powers, but still didn't believe in God. And it shocked me out of my materialist position that all that existed was kind of what you could see in here, matter and energy. And I finally realized there are other things out there that are beyond this nature that I see around me and they're evil and they're out to eat my lunch. And, you know, came close to despair at that moment. If those things are real, I don't have a chance. And yet I realized, but, you know, the same people and the same books that told me so long ago that these things were real also said that there was a God and a Lord Jesus Christ who conquered them. I'm going to go back and read and I'm going to go back to those people and talk again. If there's a devil and there's no God, I'm really in trouble. But if there's a devil and there is God, then there's hope. And that's that's the message. There's hope because of our commander. In the manual for spiritual warfare, over and over and over again, you cite scripture passage upon scripture passage that really helps us to kind of like our Lord in the desert, just identify constantly what that is and then talk back to it in the sense that it's not our words, but it's his words. And of course, I mean with a capital H. And it is so much more powerful. There's, you know, it's one thing for us and our own words are important, too. But it's one thing for us to resist the enemy and tell him to flee or contradict what he says to us. But when we do it in the words of Jesus himself, our faith is so much greater, our confidence is so much greater that that what we say is true. And the enemy goes to accuse us and we take the words of scripture that the accuser of the brethren has been cast down. He is an accuser and he's been cast down or that in his glorious triumph he'll come with all the saints in the armies of heaven or Saint John's words, which I come to again and again. He says, you are of God, dear children, and have overcome him, the devil, because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world. And how many times have I had to say that to the enemy? The one who's in me is greater than you are. So get lost. That's right. And that's something that we always have to remember. We had those two incredible witnesses, and in so many of the writings and scriptures, but in particular of Saint Paul and Saint John, Saint Paul says, it's not I who live, but it's Christ who lives in me. And here, just as you cited in 1 John, John the Apostle tells us once again, he who is in you, he is greater than he who is in the world. Who is in us? The great commander, our Lord Jesus Christ. In the end, the enemy is only a creature. He's a very powerful one. He has powers we don't have, but he's not some God of equal power to the good God. You know, so we're not dualists. We don't believe that there's a good God and a bad God who have to fight it out through history. He's a creature who went wrong, and even though he's very powerful, God is still God. There's only one God who's omnipotent, who's all -powerful and all -knowing. And as Saint Paul says, that he will soon crush the devil beneath your feet. And that's such a powerful promise to hold on to. And you alluded to earlier as well, those armies of heaven, which consist, as Saint Paul said in the letters to the Thessalonians 1 and 2, it's with all his saints and it's with the angels. It's that beautiful reference in Revelation that talks about Christ coming back as a warrior. And I know a lot of folks aren't comfortable with that image of Christ as warrior because we just think of him as the suffering servant and the lamb of God. And all that's true, but the book of Revelation shows him not just as the lamb who was slain, but also as the conquering warrior at the end who does finally totally crush and corral all the enemies of the saints, all the evil that we're fighting against. And talks about when he comes, he comes with the armies of heaven. And so you ask, well, who would be the armies of heaven? Well, Saint Paul then comes in and he specifies that in 1 Thessalonians 3, 13, he says he will come with all his saints. And in 2 Thessalonians, he says he'll come with the angels of his power. So those are like the two great divisions, you might say, of his army, of his host. Those are the comrades we have in battle. The queen of the saints, the queen of the angels, Our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary, she is also referred to as the queen of humility. And yet it's in that humility that the irony of it, can we say, that she is able to crush the head of the servant. You know, I think it's important for us to see that what Our Lady did was to undo what Eve had done and to undo what the devil had done. How did the devil fall? Through his own pride. You know, we get in the book of Isaiah, the words that I will ascend to the mountain of the Lord, you know, and he wanted to take God's place. And so his great pride gets undone. It gets overturned by Our Lady's humility, by, you know, his fiat was, I will rule, and her fiat was, let it be done to me according to thy word. And so her humility overturns his. And she undoes what the devil did. She unties that knot that the devil tied, so to speak. And you get that predicted, prophesied all the way back in Genesis, when the Lord speaks to the serpent, who, of course, represents the devil, says, I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed. He shall bruise your head and you shall bruise his heel. And that's why, of course, we have all these wonderful images of Our Lady, not just with the crown of stars above her head and the moon beneath her feet, as we get the image in the book of Revelation, but also with the head of the serpent crushed underneath her heel. Because though Jesus did the direct battle, she, by her fiat, by her agreement with the Lord, yes, of course, do what you want and I will bear your son. By that fiat, she also took part in that crushing of the serpent's head. And Eve gave a yes to the enemy's temptation and brought death and the devil's domination to the world. But Mary's yes to God instead of the enemy opened the door for the ultimate victory of her son over Satan. That's why we call her the new Eve. By her obedience to God, she undid what the first Eve had done by her disobedience. Well, one of the great saints that you mentioned here is not only a doctor of the church, but a loyal son of St. Francis, that St. Bonaventure, who writes so very strongly that, and he was a brilliant, brilliant, intelligent man, but even he had to acknowledge that men do not fear a powerful, hostile army as much as the powers of hell fear the name and protection of Mary. And we get that, you know, it's not just a speculation. There's all kinds of experience of that and exorcisms. A recent exorcist who talks about how an enemy, a demon, was protesting over the praying of a Hail Mary and saying every time, I'm paraphrasing, but every time you say that Hail Mary, it's like a hammer hitting my head. They have such a hatred for Our Lady, and they know that she's overcome them. She's the Queen of Angels, and as I say in one of my prayers in here, she's the Queen of Angels, and she's the bane of devils. They fear her and they tremble before her. Her name is terrible and powerful, it's the name of Jesus. Well, to them particularly, it's so beautiful that in the Manual for Spiritual Warfare, you have a whole section on prayers to Our Lady.

"And then I said I was going to talk about the Rolling Stone thing. I want to end with that. Here we have the corrupt politician. We don't live in a country anymore. It's occupied really by a hostile regime. Comply when you must resist when you can. Did him and his wife improperly take gold bars from corrupt officials? You're taking gold bars. You got to be corrupt, right? I mean, come on now. This is for Drew here. When you sell a you know, it's just some founder, you know, at one level, you get a good deal. You sell you buy yourselves a Mercedes G wagon, but then you hit another level. You buy yourselves a Mercedes Armadillo eight by eight. I've never seen this thing before. Are you familiar with this? No, that looks fantastic, though. Absolutely. Yeah, I need to get me one of these. Corey is there's more stuff about. Yeah, there's more stuff about Baltimore. All right. This is a really, really interesting study. Seventeen thousand wallets with contact email. Various amounts of money. No money to a lot of money. Who emails the owner Switzerland? The most honest country. Guess I'm going to give you guys time to guess who is the least honest country. It's a big country. It's a top five country. OK, who's the least honest country when it comes to finding a wallet with money and returning it to the sender? All right. Well, so we'll come back to that one. All right. So here we. Corey student came up to me after he was dealing with issues, hugged me and said, You're the brother I never had. Thank you for much for being there for me. Corey, just being there for the kids. We love Corey. Of course, a big fan of ATB. Always on there. Love having them on their Rolling Stone. And then we're going to tell you the world's most dishonest country after this. All right. You're going to want to stick around. Your NFTs are actually finally totally worthless. Brought to you by Rolling Stone. You know, commonly recognized to have very, very close ties with the intelligence agencies. Would you concur with that assessment? Absolutely. Just look at the timing of their press release. Them, the Guardian. If you had to name one more, who would you say? I mean, CNN, CNN. OK, OK. Well, there's another bizarre mainstream media headline. Most NFTs have been worthless. I've talked about this. Gary Vee is talking about this. 99% are going to go to zero. But there's a massive bear market. Still, 10,000 squiggles cost $15,000 apiece. 1,000 dentists still cost $100,000 apiece. 10,000 punks still cost $70,000 apiece. And the monkeys, there's 10,000 of them, still cost $40,000 apiece. But yeah, it's worthless. It's worthless. All right. So people are thinking it's U.S. Israel. It's U.S., man. U.S. is winning. Guys, it isn't U.S. It is definitely not America. America is on there. All right. So we'll scroll. Let's let's have fun with this here. We share the screen here. All right. So all right. So here we have Russia. OK, Canada. I'm surprised Canada is not higher. I'm surprised Canada got beat by Germany. I mean, come on. What's going on, Canada? Argentina right below Canada. That's pretty surprising there. All right. Here we have the U.S. OK, so the U.S. is coming in pretty dishonest. I like how the U.S. when there's no money, we're like, oh, no, no, no. OK, so but when there is money, huge, huge gap for the U.S. there. So a big gap for the U.S., even more so for the U.K., bigger gap for the U.K. Serbia doesn't matter. You know what? They're either going to be honest or dishonest in America. It's like, oh, it's 100 bucks in there. Keeping it. All right. So the most dishonest country in the world. Are you ready? Here we go. Let's go ahead and show it. Oh, China. It was China. It was China. It was China. Oh, all right, China. That trends with video game cheating hacks. I mean, I know I'm not some guy that's like looking at the data where I'm like, oh, yeah, X percentage of Halo players from this region compared to X percentage of players from this region. It's been my understanding. I used to be a Twitch streamer. I used to be heavily, heavily involved in gaming. It's my understanding. Yeah, the Chinese use cheat mods way, way more often than average. And so it attracts with that. Let's just Bob from accounting. Just got an email from a Nigerian princess. He's willing to share his millions with me, but he needs my help. OK, OK, let's see. Greetings from Serbia. OK, greetings back to you. Back to Serbia there. All right. Who's in Venezuela? All right. All right. Trump NFT was worthless two minutes after you bought it. Not true. Not true. Trump NFTs like did a five X or something like that. But then he did a second drop. Yeah, he dumped on his followers. But now they're holding steady at a two X. I think the original meant was 100 or I think you can sell for 200. So no, no, did not go down. Now the second drop. Yeah, that probably went down. But I mean, everyone knew not to buy that one. That one was more just not good for speculators there. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Mexico, not only Mexico is on the list. Mexico is on the list. Mexico is also pretty close there. You can see it right there. All right. A moment of silence for Morocco in second place. Nothing wrong with Morocco. We love our Moroccans. And I love Iraq. What were the Moroccans? Those are and I love Moroccans south of the border, though. Yeah, but it sounds the same. So I'm just going to aren't they? You know, they're both tan and whatever. All right, folks, I think it was a great show. Yeah, great show. Hit the like button on your way out. A.J., Drew, any parting thoughts here? Not really.

A highlight from Bitcoin Crashing LIVE! (Vitalik Hacked)
"Welcome to Discover Crypto, everybody. Today is September 11th. Yes, September 11th. It is 11 .34am. You may notice a new change. A little different colors over here. Maybe a little bit of a different logo right there. But we still have the same squad. We still have the same people. We still got AJ. We still got Drew on the ones and twos in the corner. Me and Drew are one step closer to eating MREs. It's going to be fantastic. Guys, we're going to talk about SEC. We're going to talk about XRP. We got an ETH hack. Vitalik got hacked. Did ETH get hacked? Is all your ETH gone? So we're going to talk about the Vitalik hack. Also, FTX. What do they hold, everybody? But guys, we're going to have another video coming out pretty soon. Probably what? After the live stream. Do we know when that's going out, Drew? I'll have to check. We'll have to check. We'll have an answer by the end of the show. We have a video explaining a lot of things, explaining everything. We just hope that you watch it. We'll share it. When as soon as I get the tweet, I'll share it to everybody. But let's just get right into the show. Does that sound good to you, AJ? That sounds great to me. AJ, you look fresh today. You got the gel. You got the cool shoes on. You look tan. You look glowing. How was your weekend? I went to the first round of SMX in Charlotte, North Carolina, working for my weekend job, which is for Racer X Magazine. It's a very well -known motocross industry kind of thing. And I had an absolute blast. Caught up with a bunch of my friends. Spent way too much time in the sun, but hey, probably needed it. And the race was great. I'm excited. I might be going to the last round in two weeks in LA. Oh, did you see Johnny Crypto out there? Nope. He's the other motocross. Guys, we see Bitcoin is dumping. Okay, we're going to look at the charts pretty quickly. We might even bump it up a little bit just to get into it. Let's just pull it up. Let's just get right into the show, everybody. Yeah, you can see a fresh little dump. Let me hit refresh because, guys, it is not looking great on the short term. And even when you zoom out, you're going to see that we kind of broke some key levels. This is the 24 -hour chart for Bitcoin. Currently, we're coming in at $25 ,118. But if you look at the 7 -day, you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. We've been trading in this range. We spiked above it, but you just see that flat, flat range. And we go to the 14 -day. In the 30 -day, it looks even more sharp. Just hanging out, hanging out flat, and then we drop below. Let's go to the 30 -day. You see, we haven't fallen below this level in a while. And if we keep going, you'll see even more of the same. Back about around 3 months ago, we dipped down into the $24K level. So as long as we stay above this area, I'm not going to feel super, super scared. Now, you see the dump, AJ. Are you feeling a little worried, a little fear here? Well, I know Kelly is doing TA, but Drew, if you go to my chart really fast, one thing I just want to point out is that this line right here, this yellow line, what I talked about last week, the $25 ,300 area, that is a super important support resistance line from way back here, right? And if we lose this line, I am pretty worried moving forward. Very, very worried moving forward. I'm probably looking to fall to $23 ,000s, maybe worse. But I've been saying it for a while that this line is my make or break right now. So let's hope for the best. And that's Marcus. Wait a minute. What do you got going? Is that trading view or a puddle filled with oil? I didn't clean it up, but this is Lux Algo. With Market Cipher, I run a lot of stuff. It looks like craziness to you guys, but it makes sense to me, but I'll clean it up for next time. It looks like the console from a 1980s sci -fi movie where they showed NASA desk. That's what it looks like. Let's look at the rest of the market here. We have Ethereum down as well. If we pull up this level, you can see we're now at $15 .59, dropping down everybody. We do the same thing we do with Bitcoin. You see we're hitting some levels we haven't seen in a while. And if you go down, we're actually lower than we were three months ago. Bitcoin fell below where we were three months ago. Ethereum is, I mean, held above. Ethereum is falling below, so losing some key areas right there. The 180 day doesn't look better. But when you go to the one year, it doesn't look quite as bad. And it does the same thing for Bitcoin. You click on the one year, it feels bearish. We've been trading sideways. Everything just feels bad. But you click on that one year, kind of puts things in perspective like, okay, maybe it's not all over. Maybe we are on an uptrend on the long term here. All right, let's look at some more coins here. We have BNB down 3%, XRP down 5 whopping percent, everybody. It is down basically the whole week here, down 6 .2%. Keeps growing by. We see Cardano finally broke out of that 25 cent range, been stuck at 25 cents. Now it is below. Am I going to look to buy some cheap Cardano? Maybe not. I might hold off and look for some different alts there. We have Solana down 2 .3 and then TonCoin down 5%. We're going to go to the top losers and have an idea. This is not going to look great. The top gainers, probably going to be stable coins. I don't know. I haven't clicked it myself. Let's see what we got. We have one coin. No, wait, whoa, gold. Gold is up and optimism is up. I don't even know if we should count PAX Gold. So we have one crypto essentially that is up. That is optimism. And then we have a couple gold pegged stable coins that are down. If we go to the top losers, we have RollBit down in the double digits, everybody. I hope you pulled some profits because we are down 27 % on the week. Arbitrum down 14 % on the week and Apecoin down almost 14 % of the week. Apecoin down almost 7%, Arbitrum down almost 10%. Huobi down as well. Radix. Radix always has to get in that top five of gainers or losers. And you can see you kind of hit the mark there. All right, anything standing out to you in the markets? Are you looking to buy some or are you looking to maybe see if we go down lower? I'm waiting to see what's going to happen, especially with the support resistance line on Bitcoin. I'm being patient right now. I'm being patient. I'm sitting out. Yep. All right. Well, some people weren't patient and they saw Vitalik tweet out a link. And they impatiently just snapped in, hit that button, they signed in and they connected their wallet. And next thing you know, they got drained from this Vitalik hack, everybody. But it wasn't his wallet that got hacked. It wasn't his bank account that got hacked. But his ex -account did get hacked, everybody. Ethereum co -creator Vitalik Buterin's ex -account reportedly breached. Hacker makes away with $690K. Did they stop there on purpose? Almost $700K, folks. You can see he was leading to a left of $690K. As per Decrypt, the breach happened on Saturday. A post surfaced on his feed promoting NFTs from a software provider, ConsenSys, which turned out to be a scam link displayed to his almost 5 million followers and asked victims to connect their wallets to mint the NFT. Instead, the hacker gained access to the funds. I believe a couple punks got stolen. So most of what got stolen was NFTs, folks. So just say you got to be careful out there. Maybe people don't have a whole bunch of ETH on the wallet, but they have some NFTs. And so they're out there, they're just clicking things, they're linking things, and it didn't end up going well for those people. So you got to be careful clicking links out there, folks. I think it was a little bit of a FOMO. If I'm guessing what, if you see an hour -long post or, you know, and maybe, but when you see it's, you know, you refresh by following and it's a 14 -second link, you might go ahead and click that because, oh, you know, only 5 ,000. Maybe they go get claimed, you go on Etherscan, you see 17 people did it in the last two seconds. You're just going to FOMO in. You got to be careful out there. It happened. It does happen. It happens. Don't think that includes the values of the stolen punks. I thought it did. I'm not sure. We'll look more into that as this story has time to digest, everybody. Just here to talk about, okay, Tim. Tim and the investing bros are out there 9 to 10 a .m. Everybody, you can check that out. All right.

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

The Spice OH! Life (Chris & Angela)
A highlight from E46 - Does Environment Impact Who You Are?
"The... We're ready. Okay, Christopher, are you okay? Wait a minute, you started? It started. Oh, yes, I'm okay. Yes, I'm okay. How are you doing? I'm doing fine. You're too funny. I wonder if people thought the picture froze, though, when I did that. Maybe, or maybe they saw me still moving because I was trying to figure out what was going on. Welcome, everybody, to Give you. us some more life. Yeah. All right. Keep feeling that. Guys, ladies, I mean, you don't have to say what you want. Oh, as you can see, we're not in our normal spot today. We're not. Where are we at? We're in a different place. We're in a different environment. Different place. Situation. Yay. We decided to do a podcast while we were in our different environment. Do some walking around. Yeah. Try to be a part of our physical fitness. I like how you said that. Physical fitness. Physical fitness. Yeah. We're in a different place. We're near the beaches. Yeah. Some fun times. We're doing a little self -care. What do they call that? That's not a when you do it in a different, you know, feel, you know, radio, a different place. We're off, we call it at a remote location. Remote. Remote. Remote control. Yeah. We're at a remote location. You see my tan. I got a nice little tan going. Yeah. Nice little smooth. Yes. My tan is on and popping. On and popping. Not stopping. And sometimes different environments do that. Yeah. That's what we were thinking about. You know, people take vacations, take time, you know, try to do things, change the scene, change the environment, go places they like. And yeah, I was asking myself, does it really make a difference? Does it make us kind of change who we are or does it make a little difference? What kind of impact does that make? Yeah. That's what our show is about. So how does it feel when you're in a different environment? How does it affect you? You know, how are you, how are you feeling Christopher? You're in a different environment. How are you feeling? I feel great. And in my opinion, yeah, everything is mental. We can kind of control even bad days with our own mental state and how we see it and how we deal with negative and good and all that. Yeah. But environment definitely, definitely can make a difference. It does. Positive or negative. Definitely for me, you know, it definitely makes a difference for me. But just like you said, it's all here. Yeah. How do you, how do you take it in here? You know, sometimes you can be, you can be on the most beautiful place in the, on the planet. But if this is not good, if this is not the right place, are you going to enjoy yourself? Right. And I think it means different things to different people. Yes. So let's say beach. We were talking about beaches earlier. So let's say for instance, me and Angela today go to the beach and you know, some people come with us, like, let's say it's like four or five, six people with us. And I may say, oh man, I'm loving this beach.
Discerning Hearts - Catholic Podcasts
A highlight from POA4 Extraordinary Activity Put On The Armor A Manual for Spiritual Warfare with Dr. Paul Thigpen Ph.D. Discerning Hears Catholic Podcasts
"Discerninghearts .com, in cooperation with TAN Books, presents Put on the Armor, A Manual for Spiritual Warfare, with Dr. Paul Thickepen. Dr. Thickepen is an internationally known speaker, bestselling author, and award -winning journalist who has published 43 books in a wide variety of genres and subjects, including The Rapture Trap, A Catholic Response to End Times Fever, and The Manual for Spiritual Warfare, the book on which this series is based. In 2008, Dr. Thickepen was appointed by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to their National Advisory Council. He has served the Church as a theologian, historian, apologist, evangelist, and catechist in a number of settings, speaking frequently in Catholic and secular media broadcasts and at conferences, seminars, parish missions, and scholarly gatherings. Put on the Armor, A Manual for Spiritual Warfare, with Dr. Paul Thickepen. I'm your host, Chris McGregor. Well, we've talked about the ordinary act. We do need to touch upon the extraordinary demonic activity. Well, this is the kind of stuff that, you know, that Hollywood likes to glorify. It's extraordinary in that it really isn't as common as just temptation, which is common to every man, woman, and child. By extraordinary activity, we're talking about a destructive work that's more powerful and that manifests itself not only in our thought realm, but also in the physical realm. Most observers of demonic tactics agree that there's certain activities that occur. They often use different labels for them, and so I allow for that in my book. I have a certain terminology. There are others who would use a different terminology. The kind of a whole series of levels of activity, each one a little more serious than the last, that kind of finds its worst form in possession, which is what most people in the world, when they think about demons, that's what they think about. But the first is called infestation. It's demonic activity that's connected to a particular location or an object. So if there's a house, for instance, that's infested, and people often think it's, you know, they call it ghost or something, but it's actually demonic activity. But folks, witnesses in an infested house, may see physical objects moving on their own or seemingly on their own, levitating, flying through the air, disappearing and reappearing in other places. They may smell offensive odors, often like sulfur. They may hear noises they can't explain, like crashes or laughter or screaming. So when people talk about, you know, a haunted house, often that's what we're talking about, something where there's a demonic association with that building or that location. The next level then is what I would call oppression. It describes demonic attacks on a victim's exterior life. So it may be influences on their bodily health, influences on their finances, on their work situation, on their family relations and other social relations. In some severe cases, it may even include physical assaults, invisible blows to the body, a push out of bed or downstairs, mysterious scratches appearing on the skin. I've seen all of these before. A number of saints throughout the ages have spoken about enduring this kind of thing. So St. Anthony of the Desert, St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Ante, Padre Pio, St. Pio of Pietrelcina, a few of those. Next, then would be obsession. That refers to a more severe and relentless form of the struggle in the victim's interior life. It's a wrestling with disturbing thoughts planted by the enemy, but to a degree, not just temptation. So it's an inner torment that can be suffered while you're awake or in nightmares, becomes so intense that the sufferer may seem to be going insane to themselves and to others. There may be visual and auditory hallucinations, persistent temptations to suicide. We have to note that symptoms like this may well have physical causes and mental causes rather than spiritual ones. That's why the church is always careful and insists that those who experience these kinds of afflictions should first approach medical professionals for help before just, instead of just concluding that they're under attack from evil spirits. But then the most serious is possession, the one that's most dangerous and most rare form of extraordinary demonic activity. It involves periodic episodes in which an evil spirit controls the body of the victim, though the victim is usually not aware of what's taking place during that control. And we have several accounts of that in the Gospels, as we've talked about before. So the demon -possessed person may engage in bizarre bodily contortions that would normally be impossible. The body may levitate or act with superhuman strength. The victim may groan, hiss, make animal sounds. An alien voice may speak through the possessed person, sometimes without even the use of their vocal cords. Often they reveal knowledge of hidden things. Are they talking a language unknown to the victim and the victim's never studied? And at the same time, as in cases of infestation, often disturbing and even violent physical phenomena may take place in the victim's presence. And then finally, the victim of demon possession exhibits an extreme, sometimes violent, sense of to revulsion holy things, like the name of Mary and the name of Jesus, to the rites of the church, to a consecrated host, to sacred relics, to sacramental, such as holy water. So that would be the most serious thing. And I always like to make the point that a demon can never possess someone in the sense of owning that person, because all human beings, no matter what they've been through or what they've done, all human beings belong to God. They are his personal possession. Well, we speak of cases of demonic possession in which the enemy has basically become a usurper occupying the human body that was created to be indwelt by the Holy Spirit instead. Now one of the reasons why we are going over again this particular part of our conversation is to know the battle. And it doesn't necessarily mean that we're called to be the Navy SEALs that are called to go out there and engage in, OK, now we know what it is, so we're going to go out and deal with it. It's important, as you said, at certain levels that, yes, medical professionals absolutely have to be working in relationship with a person afflicted. In many cases now, Paul, isn't it true that in dioceses around the United States, as well as around the world, that if there are those who feel that they are encountering this, that they can go to the Chancery or maybe even to the local parish, and they will be able to work together to help bring that person once again to wholeness? Yes, and that's so important. If you're at the place where your sense is that it's beyond the ordinary and these other things, you find a priest that you're confident in and you trust, and lay it before them. If you have to go to several priests, but go and give them a chance to help you figure out if it may be something else than what you're thinking. They can make references, refer you to medical professionals who can help you to kind of rule those things out, and the church won't allow you to go through something of a major exorcism without having kind of ruled out the other things. But the church is there, resources are there to help you. Our Lord Jesus, who cast out demons very easily, has given his authority to them, and powers don't always come out with just a word because they're complex situations that involve kind of healing that has to go on in the soul, and sometimes a renunciation of certain things before it can all happen, but completely. If you have a trained exorcist, they'll know what to do. So the church has that help, and go to the church for sure while I'm meeting more and more folks who, you know, are, well, I hear there's this spiritual healer, you know, and often it's someone who's not even of a Christian background, but some kind of New Agey thing. Either you don't want to go that direction because folks who don't have the authority that Christ gave to, you know, leaders of his church, they can just get you into worse trouble than ever. Yeah, you can look at the Scriptures for an example, the one that jumps in my mind is Saul, King Saul, when he chose to go to an oracle because he was feeling, can we say, maybe oppressed or something like that, I'm not trying to diagnose this situation, but to the point where he went to the oracle to summon up Samuel, and it ended up leading to not only her madness, but to his. Well, it's just a very dangerous thing. Like I said, you know, in the book of Acts, you know, the other example where you have the seven sons of Seva who fancied themselves exorcists, and they see St. Paul casting out you out in the name of Paul or Jesus or whatever name they used, and the thing just looks at them and you can just hear the smirk and the words, Paul I know and Jesus I know, but who are you? And then jumps on them, you know, but especially folks, you know, kind of occult healers and that kind of thing. There's certain cultures that, you know, just have a tradition of this, it's extremely dangerous. Sometimes, you know, people accuse Jesus of casting out demons by the prince of demons, and in this case, it's almost like that, that they're not really casting them out, but by, they themselves can be demonically influenced in a way that will, you know, if there's actually a demonic power that's somehow oppressing someone, and they go to one of these healers who's actually demonically connected, yeah, that person can appeal to the demon, lay off of them for a while, and they'll seem to think, you know, they'll look like maybe they've been healed or helped. It's the wrong way to go about it because it's not the authority of Jesus that's overcoming the thing. It's just, you know, orders from a higher demon, so to speak. You have to be really careful. And I think it needs to be said, too, here, and I hope you agree, Paul, that as we spoke about the ordinary activity, that of temptation that is done, that even in this extraordinary activity, demonic activity, that trained exorcists will say that there, it usually begins with an entry point, you know, a demonic entry point. There's a point in which it's not necessarily where the guy's just walking down the street and all of a sudden, boom, this happens to him. I'm not going to say that it can happen that way, but most of the time, the overwhelming majority of the time, it's because there is some type of activity, whether it was an assault as a child or it's something that the person agreed to participate in, it might be a violent act that was perpetrated. There's usually some moment or a series of moments where this activity enters into the person's life and then it manifests itself into a greater situation. And that's when those who are trained in this area are able to untie those knots to get to those layers. Am I presenting that properly? Yeah, I think so. I'm certainly no expert in exorcism and I've never trained and I'm not a priest, so I couldn't be an exorcist, but I hear the same thing from those who are trained that often there is some particular point of access. And again, it's not necessarily that the person makes a choice to do something, but something could be done to them or they could even just move into a house that is infested for whatever reason because there's some earlier resident called some of the powers and into there by what they did, maybe the Ouija board or something, who knows. And that's why you do need some trained folks because it's not just so simple as snap my fingers, the devil's gone. There are certain kind of principles that seems to be of demonic activity like that that an exorcist is trained to look at, to understand and to begin to, as you say, untie the knot because these things usually are complicated knots because you still need the will of the victim to cooperate with what's going on. There needs to be some part of them that is saying, I want to be free of this and I will do what I need to to be free of this. And if it means renouncing what I did, you know, by going to that channel or going to the Ouija board or whatever, or if it means forgiving this person who did this to me or as a part of it, or if it means forgiving myself, making reparation in something, some demonstration that my will is to do the will of God and to be free, you know, always gets to me that one time, I don't want to read too much in it, but in the gospel where there's a man who's been ill all his life, he's lame all his life and Jesus looks at him and says, do you want to be healed? And that's always struck me that sometimes that's a question he has to ask us through the priest, through the counselor, through the exorcist that we go that far, do you want to be healed? Because it's going to require some cooperation on your part.
The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Jacqueline Fritschi-Cornaz
"Welcome to The Eric Metaxas Show. Would you consider yourself smart, insightful, precocious, astute, clever, wise, beyond your years, and good at checking a thesaurus for synonyms? Well, then you've come to the right place. Here now is the handsome, attractive, striking, gorgeous, and quite frankly, breathtaking, Eric Metaxas. Hey there, folks. Welcome to the show. I like to call today Tuesday. Hello and good morning. Because yesterday was Monday. Yesterday was Labor Day. And so if I look confused, it's a sign that I'm confused. It's hard to get back in. So it's nice. It's a nice, you know, you get, you know, it's almost done. We're almost done. We're almost on Friday. So listen, we have an exciting guest. Well, two exciting guests. First of all, in a few minutes, I'm speaking to Jacqueline. I think it's pronounced Jacqueline. We're going to find out. There's a new film coming out called Mother Teresa and Me. I'm going to see a screening tonight of that film. But we have the woman behind the film, not Mother Teresa, the other woman behind the film with us in a couple of minutes. Very exciting, honestly, to get her here in the studio. We also have Father Pavone coming in today. That'll probably be our two. He is the head of priests for life. He's a hero. And I want you to hear what he has to say. We've got a lot of other crazy guests coming up this week. I won't mention it. Chris. Yeah. I do want to say. Oh, yeah. Thank you. Right. Two, three things, three things before we get to our guest Jacqueline. First of all, our food for the poor raised. Thank you to all of you who gave because without you food for the poor couldn't do what they do. And you didn't need to give just because I hectared didn't need to to respond. Most of you didn't respond. There was some congratulations in resisting my siren song to give food to the poor people in our hemisphere. But it really is. I just want to say I'm grateful to those of you who stepped up. God bless you. Thank you very much. I want to say that even though I'm tan, don't don't let that fool you. I've been working. Really? You have a you have a rating writing deadline. I'm working on a sequel to my book letter to the American Church and writing books. And really, even the last part is very hard. And so even though I look tan and rested, it's a lie. Well, the tan part technically is true. Yeah. But I I feel it's not as easy as they say, huh? Well, you can just put it in chat, GPT and say write a sequel to my last book. Yeah. No, it's so it's been it's been I ask your prayers, those of you who pray, because it's it's hard. And letter to the American Church, by the way, is, you know, I say it is I say it genuinely humbly, like I know it wasn't my idea. And so you have a particular burden when you feel like God wants me to say something. And to some people, that just sounds crazy. But here's the irony. Those people are crazy. But the fact is that it's the book has been resonating tremendously around the country. I get notes from friends who say somebody sent me the book, you know, and I want to mention two things. First of all, letter to the American Church. There's a study guide. If you order it, you can see whether it's through Amazon or Socrates in the city. There's a study guide that goes with it. If you want to do it in a home group or something like that, continue the conversation, because people will read the book, they get motivated, and they say, Well, what can I do? What can I do? And they're usually doing it in a group will help you kind of figure out some things you can do. Secondly, there is a documentary film. Now, I know I've mentioned this before, but it's true. A film. documentary I shot my part in LA at right at the end of June. Directed by Michael Bay. And there were exploding churches in the background, slow motion. It's doves. It was beautiful, right? Yeah, yeah. It's kind of kind of Transformers kind of. No, it's it's a documentary. You did shoot in Hollywood based on letter to the American Church. And with this documentary, we're trying to get the message out to people who don't read books. And you know who you are. And shame on you know, but seriously, the idea that this is being turned into a gorgeous documentary. It's gorgeous. You've seen parts of it's like it's so so beautifully done. It's really exciting. And it's going to be screened in a few churches as a kind of a promo. So I'm going to be traveling around the country. But it's it's very exciting. And it gives me hope for the country. Because as you know, if you know, the thesis of the book is that the American Church is in the same place that the German church was in. At the beginning of the Nazis rise to power, we know the German church did not stand up and do the right thing in time. And as a result, evil took over that nation. And I really believe that we have an opportunity in this country, if we're willing, if we're willing to step up and understand the gravity of it. So I'm hopeful. Um, I should say also, Chris, before we get to our guests, I'm going to be traveling like crazy. Yeah, you have a really, really big skill. It's a little frightening, actually. Yeah. Thank goodness for air travel. Yeah. I'm going tomorrow to Miami. Hmm. I was just I was just there. By the way, it's terrific. It's terrific to have the Cuban coffee. You ever get those? I would love to say I would love to see you on a on a colada, which is sort of the double espresso. I'm happy to try it. I'll do it. So I'm going to Miami tomorrow. I'm speaking at a thing. By the way, everybody who wants to know my schedule to want to know if you can come to one of these events, go to Eric metaxas .com. Eric metaxas .com has my speaking schedule, or if you want to invite me, whatever. But so I'm going to Miami this week. Next week. I'm going to California. Um, there's a TP USA faith pastors conference in San Diego. I'm gonna be speaking at that. Then I'm doing a big event at the Nixon library. Uh, very excited about that. So I'll be there in California next week. And then it gets really crazy. I'm going to Iowa. I'm going to Dallas. I'm going back to Los Angeles. I'm going to Michigan Grand Rapids. Just it goes on and on and on and on. Wow. So So people say to me, Hey, Eric, what do you do for fun? The only thing I do for fun, probably is at the end of the day, when I'm exhausted, we, we what we tend to watch classic films. Oh, yeah, yeah, those are good. And Suzanne and I discovered I mean, this is the good news with like Apple TV. It's like you can find some stuff because a lot of times Turner classic movies, which I recommend, does not have something that I want to watch. They'll sunset that's the term they'll sunset movies and titles sometimes they'll have licensing for a little bit and then it kind of goes away. So it might have been there at one point. Yeah, you know, well, Turner classic movies, I mean, generally, I recommend it. But if you can't find a classic film there, like last night, they were running, you know, in the eight o 'clock hour, they were running a documentary about, you know, maybe with Fred Astaire, or Bob Hope. So and he tended neither of those great actors tended to appear in documentaries on coal mining. So you're stuck. It's hard to dance. So what did we do we found? We found some really cool stuff. But I guess I don't know where you how people find stuff. But we with Apple TV, we were able to discover just a just a trove of films we wanted to watch. So we watched, I don't know that I've ever seen the whole film. But it's one of Hitchcock's earliest films is it's 1935. It's called the 39 steps. Yes, it's a classic film. It's a classic, and it's wonderful. And so we watched that the other night. And all I can tell you is I want to watch it again. Because there's so much good stuff in it. Is it a is it? It's a thriller, right? Well, it's it's a it's a Hitchcock film. It's like a classic Hitchcock film.

A highlight from How to Steal Almost $100 Million: Prime Trust goes Bust
"Welcome back everyone, I am Cas Pianci, I'm joined as usual by my partner in crime, Mr. Bennett Tomlin. How are you today? I'm doing pretty good. How are you, Cas? Good. It's been a weird few days, even despite the weekend. Yeah, a lot of a lot of weird news breaking. I guess that's just always cryptocurrency, which is good. We're in the news business anyway. So today we're talking about a topic that we've previously discussed throughout other episodes. I don't think we ever directly had an episode only about this. But today we're talking about Prime Trust again, because there's been some new news kind of allegations dropping, understandings of what's going on behind the scenes. If anyone's unfamiliar, Prime Trust is a Nevada -based trust that was associated with cryptocurrency. They were essentially the bank. Bank is not the right word, but it is the word I'm going to use here. But they were banking a bunch of cryptocurrency exchanges and clients and all of this. And basically, it's been discovered and confirmed that they lost a ton of money, almost $100 million, which is just kind of incredible. Take it away, Bennett. What's happening here? How did they lose this money? What are the ramifications of it? Yeah, so as you mentioned, we've talked about Prime Trust before, I think most recently in episode 121 with Jonathan Reiter and Patrick Tan of Chain Argos. But what we got most recently is the first day declaration in the bankruptcy by the current interim CEO, Jor Law, and it reveals a few things that have been previously hinted at, but puts numbers on them and really kind of points towards serious management and operational issues with Prime Trust, which, as you said, was like the payment processor for many of these cryptocurrency companies. Binance US, True USD, all the true coins, there was tons of companies that were using Prime Trust as their back end. And so what the declaration revealed was, I think first, what was most shocking to me was that they had invested customer funds into Terra and they ended up losing about $6 million in customer deposits and $2 million in corporate funds when Terra went to zero. We've talked about Terra on this podcast before. It was a Ponzi scheme that was inevitably going to zero. And so it's pretty shocking to hear about a generally well -respected trust company putting customer funds directly into a Ponzi scheme. I don't know if we can call it well -respected. In the industry. Even then, I mean, what does that even mean, given our industry? I think that's kind of the point here. That's the point of FTX, that's the point of Alameda Research, that's the point of Prime Trust, is the most respected whatevers are doing the same shit as the least respected whatevers. I do want to and I want to kind of pause you here for a second. So obviously, as you mentioned, we've talked about it. It's a Ponzi scheme. That's what Terra and Luna were just for a little bit more background on that. It was a stable coin ecosystem. Basically you had this coin with no value whatsoever except that assigned to it by the market. And they used that coin to create a stable coin. And you can guess how that went. It didn't go well. If you're somehow unfamiliar with it, I assume everybody listening is familiar with it. But regardless, the point I want to swing back to here is that you said $6 million in customer funds were utilized and lost on this gamble. And let's call it what it is. It's a gamble. I'm curious because I'm just, let me put it this way, I have a brokerage account that actually a broker takes care of. That broker has a fiduciary duty to not do stuff like what you just mentioned, right? And if they broach that fiduciary duty, not only do they ultimately, I would assume, owe me money and like going to be liable in court and I'm going to take them to court and all this stuff, they won't be able to work at a brokerage anymore. Like there's serious ramifications for this stuff. But for a trust fund, like what happens, how is this possible? Like aren't they breaching their fiduciary duties? Isn't there something wrong going on here? Yes. It's almost certain that they were not in compliance with Nevada's regulations about what assets that they were supposed to be holding as this type of trust company.

Put on the Armor, A Manual for Spiritual Warfare with Dr. Paul Thickepen. I'm your host, Chris McGregor. Paul, thank you so much for joining me. Chris, it's a pleasure to be here. Thank you for having me. It's vital for us, isn't it, to understand things visible and invisible. We really need to have a comprehension of that, don't we, Paul? We do. I've seen old movies of Civil War battles where you have the two sides entrenched on either side of a beautiful meadow, and they're firing across at each other, and I've often had this picture in my mind of a little child wandering out on the battlefield and kind of enjoying the flowers, smelling the flowers, and looking at the butterflies and the birds and the pretty clouds with bullets whizzing on either side, not even aware that he's in the middle of a battle. And sometimes I think Christians are like this and folks who aren't Christians that there really is a battle for our souls going on. And if we're unaware of it, we're extremely vulnerable. It even tells us in the Scriptures, 1 Peter, chapter 5, Isn't it true, Paul, that even today there are many who will hear that in the Scriptures and yet somehow present to people and even to themselves that the devil isn't real, that that's some concoction that has been devised to maybe frighten us into capitulation? I call it the devil's stealth strategy. He's quite happy for us to believe that he doesn't even exist. That gives him all kinds of room to maneuver. And yet it is true. It seems remarkable that given that we have a dogmatic definition of the devil and demons in the fourth Lateran Council and Ecumenical Council, and it's in papal statements and it's in the liturgy and has been for centuries. The Church Fathers all talked about the devil, the great theologians, and the experience of all kinds of folks that we can't just write off as crazy, especially many of the saints whose moral integrity and intellectual soundness can't be really debated reasonably. We've got all that evidence and yet you still have folks who want to say there's no such thing. I had talked to a friend the other day who went to a, I won't say where it was, but it was a Catholic parish in another city and had a speaker there who out and out said there's no devil at the parish. And just thinking, my goodness, how can you come to that conclusion unless, I guess, perhaps you're an atheist, as I once was, and rule out the spiritual realm altogether. But even then, in my own experience, I began to come up against demonic powers that I thought were the human powers of the human mind. And that drove me back into the gospel to say, OK, if these things are real, if there really is some kind of spiritual world that's not just the matter and energy of this world, I better find out what's going on, because if there's a devil and there's no God, I'm in trouble. For the Christian, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who we profess, he experienced interaction with the evil one explicitly in the scriptures. How is it that we can deny that? Doesn't that say something about ultimately our belief in him? Him and in the scripture itself, too. You know, just look at the passage, most obvious passage, where he's in the wilderness being tempted by the devil and actually having a dialogue with him.

A highlight from DOUBLE IMPACT LIVE WITH JOHN C. MORLEY AND HURRICANE H 81323
"Well, well, well, hey, hey, hey, how you been? I I've been I've been good, man. How you been? It's been a minute. Very good.

And hopefully you can join us if you want to wants to to hop in. If you want to dare to join it. Most of my people usually just want to stay in the chat, but you're welcome to join us if you feel like it. I know there's probably some people overseas that have been wanting to connect in and out. So tonight, let's see, where do we leave off? We have so much to talk about. I mean, I think the biggest thing I want to share with you is when I was only, I don't know, maybe about one or two, I got stung with a B. Not a big deal, but I got stung. And back then it was a big it was like the end of the world. So why do I bring this up to you? Because one of my clients, I was doing some IT work for and a about week or so ago, I knew we had these bees a while ago. I didn't really say much about it. And they told me if I want some honey. And I said, OK. And so all of a sudden, I am just about ready to leave. He says, oh, John, he says, we want to come and take a look at our beehive, right? And I was like. Maybe next time, like, yeah, I got to run like, you know, it's it's it's it's a lot later than I thought. No, no, you ended early. So you actually be able to stay. I said, oh, I did. Oh, all right. Well, he's like, you're dressed perfectly. You've got a white shirt on. You got tan shorts. You're in light colors. The bees are going to love you. They're so friendly and you should come and visit them. I don't know about you, but I was just on the fence about this. And so I said, where are they? So they're in our garden. So I started walking out to the backyard, very petrified. And 500 about feet away from the garden, not even the high, but 500 feet away from the garden. And I can see the hives, not just one, but like four of them. And each one has 10000 bees. And I know you do not want to go there. He's like, John, you got to come a little closer. I say closer than this. He's got to come in the garden. Oh, I guess I come a little closer. So I came closer to the outside of the gate. So now I'm within about 400 or 500 feet of the actual beehive. I said, I think this is close enough. He's you're not going to see anything out there. I said, it looks really nice. I said, it looks like they're working really hard. I can see them flying around. No, no, no, no, no. You're not going to see the queen. I can see the guys. I said, I believe you. It's there. No, no, no. You're not going to learn anything out there. I said, I can get a book. No, no, no, no. You got to come and see them. All right. So I opened the gate against my better judge. He's like, there are nice bees. Just don't make any sudden moves. Don't interact. Don't don't swat them. And you're going to be just fine. Like, OK, I opened the gate to the little little garden there. I close it as soon as I do this. A few bees start coming around me. Then a few more. Then with a few minutes, there is some more swarming around me. And now there's even a lot more swarming around my legs and my arms. And I was like, oh, God, you got to come a little closer, John. You're you're not going to see. I see I'm seeing plenty of bees right here. No, you got to come and see the hive. You think we should ask the bees? Is it OK if I visit your home? Do you mind if I walk over there? Is that OK with you guys? Do you mind? And so he goes, yeah. He says that they want you to come and see it. I said, all right. So I start walking to the hive and I see the queen bee and I see the worker bee and the drone bees. And I see the other bees coming in now. Oh, this is very interesting. It's very nice to visit you. I said, I can't stay very long. I have to go. But thank you for showing me your home, bees. He's like, no, you haven't seen anything. I said, I've seen a lot. He said, well, look at the honeycomb. I said, oh, the honeycomb is nice. You see how there's a size? I said, yeah. You see how the bees are flapping their wings really fast to make the honey from the nectar? I said, yeah, yeah. And if you look at that bee, he's starting to to coat it with the beeswax that they have naturally inside them to keep it from getting, you know, from from drying out. I said, wow, interesting. I don't know about you, but I just want to get the heck out of there. So these bees are all around me. Nothing stung me. And I'm trying to not make any sudden movements. I said, how do I get out of here? He says, it's really simply says that you start walking away from the hive. They'll start moving away from you as you leave the garden. They'll within a few seconds be totally away from you. So I said, I got to get going. So I started walking away from the beehive. Few feet, few feet, few feet, 100 feet, two and three. And they start leaving me a little bit. But they're still around me. I leave the garden and within about 10 or 20 seconds, they're all gone. I said, oh, thank you, God. For keeping me safe and not letting me get stung and letting me learn about bees, I say, you know what, H .H.? This is a perfect story for my next article. I learned two things from that one, the importance of being humble. And the other thing I learned bees was that are dying. And I said, I bet I could tell a story about the bee's life. That'd be pretty cool because I don't use that much. And that was not on my agenda to be talking about bees and how they work and everything. I said, I bet there's probably a company that has something out there with A .I. and saving the bees. I just thought of this. And sure enough, I found this company, Beeswise, in another country selling a Beeswise home for two thousand dollars and just 400 dollars a month with A .I. controls to manage the environment, a robotic arm inside that could do beekeeping remotely, even harvest the honey. Instead of pesticides, they would heat the frames hot enough so that the insects would just drop off. So this is interesting. And each basically home can hold 10 hives. So that's 10000 bees per hive. That's a hundred thousand bees per one of these A .I. homes. OK, John. I'm here. Yeah, yeah, I think there's some some static that came, you know, I think you moved something and we had some static. There's just I'm not sure. OK, I won't move. You know, not moving. Just like I think you hit something and then we started getting some static. I hit the gas, but there was nothing. Yeah, nothing. Yeah, something like you. It stops and it comes back when you move in. I don't know if there's electronics that are getting involved in the discussion. You know, I guess we have we don't have to worry just about bees. We have to worry about static, you know, from a frequency business here. Yeah, absolutely. The frequency. So the the article title, in case any of you guys want to read it. This article just released the other day. I'm really proud of it. It's called Bee Light and how A .I. will protect them. And when you look at this home and you see these bees, it doesn't look natural that all these bees are like in a computer environment. It looks like something that would give you a heart attack.

I don't know. I'm signing up for it. So how'd you learn how to do it? I was watching YouTube videos. Oh yeah. Well, there you go. You can learn everything. I learned my accent there too. That's good. It's a Kentucky accent. It's a beautiful Kentucky accent. Thank you. divineapals .com forward slash discount dash coupons. That's where all the discounts in the amount of $500 waiting for you. So get your printer ready. Maybe, you know, send yourself email. You don't have to print anything. And don't forget this wellness month. We still have 14 days left, right? So you have plenty of time to book your massage. Even though you can do it after, if you're busy or not here in our spa, which is Divine Spa. That's pretty much what I have to do as officials. And this is Rob with that. We can go to our business. Yeah. Why don't you get right to the business? Yeah. So business is very simple. What is it business? You know what happened in three o 'clock in the morning when you were sleeping? I don't know. I was sleeping. I mean, it makes sense that I wouldn't know. I know. I know what happened yesterday. We didn't know anything either. Oh, we did know though. What? Yeah, we know. Now we know. Yeah. So since we know and I know since three o 'clock in the morning, but you don't know. And now I know. Now you don't know yet. You will know and everybody else will know too. We are live with our podcast in Bezos heaven and also Spotify. Oh, look at that. Yeah. So we got invitation email for a podcast to be published in Amazon music. You know, so we are since three o 'clock in the morning and also on Spotify. You can find us on those two platforms, which I think is a fantastic. Yeah. That is really millions and millions of listeners. So we're going to get our voices five million, I think in the Amazon one. Yeah. We're going to subscribers. I don't know. Yeah. 55 million subscribers. Yeah. It's a small that's chump chain. Yeah. Yeah. So, um, we're going to ruin 55 million lives. I don't want to be responsible for that. Oh, you don't want to be responsible for anything, but I can see the, uh, except for putting sun tan lotion on people. Yeah. I'll take the responsibility for it. It's easy. Yeah. So, um, since, uh, Mr. Bezos was so generous and send us that invitation email, I want to just, you know, pay forward and give him a little shout out here on that very valuable, very important and very famous podcast from divine Naples. And that is that, uh, Mr. Bezos, when he gets his, uh, uh, items back, uh, when somebody returned them and that they don't want them, uh, he needs to get rid of them. So he established businesses and one of them is called hot bins. And that is in, uh, in Fort Myers. And, uh, I'll tell you what, it's actually a very interesting business. They get, uh, all these returns from a big corporations and big, uh, back stores like Walmart, Kmart, and, and, uh, while targets and Amazon and everything, they pack them in the bins and they change the price daily. So I guess, uh, I think Tuesday is the day when they bring new merchandise and the price is certain amount for each item is same price. Wow. That sounds like shopping. Yeah. You don't have to do your window shopping shopping. Let's go, honey. Yeah. Uh, that's exactly right. What I would say if I go and your wallet's going to be a little lighter when you get home, but maybe the trunks are going to be heavier. I don't know. You got, can you fit a lot of junk in here? Yeah. Talked about junk the other day. Well, junk. I have a big garage. Yeah. And then you do the garage sale. That's exactly right. Now I feel, I feel where you're going. There you go. That's exactly what the American economy's on. Somebody spends the money. So you just get done yesterday or the day before. I can't remember. I can't remember what, you know, five minutes ago, uh, you just got done telling people to, to, to not shop and fill their garage stores, but now you're telling them to go up to Fort Myers and binge shop. It makes so much sense. And then when you get done binge shopping and get home and look through all this stuff and use it once you can go, I don't really need this. Put it in the garage and go ahead and pay a couple of months on the interest and that type of stuff. And then just open up your garage door in two weeks and start selling it for about 10, 10 % of what you bought it for. But that's exactly what I said three days ago. And you look at me that I'm crazy because and now you're using it against me. Don't, don't, don't store up a bunch of stuff in your garage, but you got to go binge shop. Anyway, it makes all the sense in the world to me. I'm just, you said that's your, that's your favorite sports garage sales, but it's like with my ex wife, I was like, Oh really? And we got to go out and do this garage sale thing again. And then, you know, it was always never just thinking about what's good for the other person. I should have just said, Hey, if that, if she's into that, let's go and do it and make the best of it. And then if I was smart in those times, like you tell everybody I lived in caveman days. So I'm going through the garage sales. I could have found some things of value. I mean, you go out to the Valley where they grow stuff. I'm not saying, I mean, your dad and you are farmers. I'm not saying all farmers are kind of low IQs or anything, but they got stuff in their garage. That's worth money. And if I would have just been a little smarter and educated on what you could find in the golf, uh, in a, in a garage sale, I might've made some, some money anyway. So everybody go been shopping, but you have this rampage here, which is a point is taken, but you have to understand my reasoning. Yeah. Okay. My reasoning is I'm trying to kill, uh, with a two flies with one shot because I, I trying to save some energy over here. Right. So stroke Bezos.

catching the tan, yeah, being deeper Mexican, yeah, you know what I'm saying, yeah, it's like, I don't know what comes, you know, like turning the toaster from lighter to darker, it can't be darker Mexican, he called me and he was in Lely, he says, oh, I gotta go, it's raining and so I knew I was supposed to prepare, it took five minutes and we had to rain here too, yeah, so, you know, it's all, you know, I was, I started at one end today, this afternoon and it was, I was down by Pine Ridge and Logan and it was raining like cats and dogs, we have to liquid up what that means, I have no idea, but it was, let's just say it was raining a lot and then, you know, I drive two or three miles and then all of a sudden the sun's breaking out again, no rain, you know what it's called, the rain, cats and dogs, no, I have no idea what it means, Jewish car wash, oh yeah, yeah, why is that, because you get the car wash from the dust and you don't have to pay for it, oh, okay, it's cheap, yeah, all right, some that's true, yeah, it just comes out and they get the sponge, unfortunately, there's so much dirt and oil and grime on the car, my car is always a lot dirtier, I mean, if you're riding toaster, that's what's gonna happen, you know, there's just gonna have some grime because that's when you're toasting and toasting, it doesn't matter what car I was driving, it's whenever I'm driving in the streets, it's a mess, yeah, that's what happens in Florida, it's a mess, yeah, that's why we have rain, to clean it up, I tell you what, today, there was a lady, she came up and she started

call us, we have this special phone line, you know, 1 -800 number, divine divine 9, that's the, you know, and she looked at me and said are you serious, I said yeah, we used to have a sex line but we didn't get that busy, so now we have the old days of the 900 numbers and I'll be helping people and, you know, they consume our coffee, yeah, they're so jacked up and high on the coffee, so she got a rocket fuel and she said, you know what, intervention line, this is my coffee shop for everyday now, I used to go to Badass and I said to her, you know, but that's perfect because we have a coffee and then I turned around and I said and better ass, how did you, yeah, she was laughing and she ordered something, she ordered something and she said I want that sandwich, I said what is it, the one I had

better looking when I was three and then after three years old it just went downhill, that's all right, you're all right, you'll be all right, you'll get over it, so after that we had people from Holland and they are hooked to our podcast now, so we're going international, oh good, well we were doing that anyway because the website divinenapels .com is international anyway, yeah, it's actually the largest hub for everything you need to know about Naples, that's correct, and I don't, what is it, almost 30 websites connected, 23 websites, 23 and 18, how many languages, 18, 18, I see, I remember that number, 18 different languages and that's what we're doing here, that means you know that's stupid then, yeah, I thought you were, no I'm always stupid, half as stupid as I look, but we're all right, yeah, we're doing good, so that's, we're doing good, that was quick, let's get past that, yeah, so I've been browsing through some news and what's going on here, hey why don't you share with us some news, yeah I will share that with you right now because it's Friday and people need to kind of have a weekend to think about it, right, so number one, there are some changes in the,

before, yeah, I call them yellow monsters, yeah, when you see the yellow monster, you want to pass it, pass it, then be careful because they have a, they have a cameras and they read also license plate, so once you get through it, they will send you tickets, yeah, that's not gonna be pretty, yeah, well we need to be safe with kids, right, right, just slow down, so get up and take off to work or wherever you got to go a little early, yeah, but another thing is also they're changing the speed in the school zones, used to be 20 miles an hour, now it's 15, which I'm grateful for because, you know, it's, it's, as he's saying, it's important to, you know, people crossing the streets with kids.

A highlight from 91 - FTX 2.0 - FOR REAL!! Coinbase's BASE Launch, and Optimism's Meteoric Rise
"Welcome to the Crypto Curious podcast, proudly brought to you by the Bamboo App. Crypto Curious is your go -to source for all things cryptocurrency. Whether you're a seasoned pro or new to the world of crypto, we've got you covered. Each week we'll break down the top news stories of the past seven days, giving you the information you need to stay on top of the latest trends and developments. Plus we'll share quick bites of news and insights that you won't want to miss. If you're new to crypto, we recommend starting with our early episodes where we break down the basics and give you a solid foundation to understand the crypto world. Join us as we explore the ever -evolving world of cryptocurrency and educate ourselves along the way. On this week's episode, we talk about the rebirth of FTX exchange and get some insights from someone who's lived through the pain and lost money in last year's meltdown and what it means for those who got burnt. We chat through Coinbase's new L2 blockchain base, which launches this week. And we've got a mover and shaker of the week. And this one is optimism. We'll tell you a little bit about why that token has been pumping. My name's Tracey. And finally, Craig is back from his epic holiday. We were sick of seeing the photos. So it's three of us again. Welcome boys. Good to have you back, Craig. Thanks guys. I'm tanned. I've taken a huge break from the markets, but it seems like nothing's really been happening. I don't know, I've been listening to the podcast and it seems I just got caught up on the way home and it's been good to have a bit of a break. Look, you just hit the nail on the head there. Nothing's happened in the markets. I reckon we're probably at the same place we were when you left a month ago. Yeah, literally like Ethereum and Bitcoin, same price. Ethereum greed is still neutral. It's just a bit boring right now, isn't it? Mate, is this correlation or causation, guys? Craig, you're not trading. Look what happens. True. I've stopped pumping the markets. I'm back now. So we'll see the markets turn around. Well, look, it's good to have you back and I'm glad that you're nice and rested and you're ready to jump back into some crypto news. So let's do that with story number one. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the current state of play. Coinbase is being sued. Binance is being sued. So both are being basically choked out of the US. But FTX exchange is relaunching. Hmm. Are we in the twilight zone? Yeah. After much speculation, FTX has officially submitted a proposal to restart its services for non US customers. How do you feel about this? And what do we actually know, Blake? Yeah, you know, there's a lot going on here. It looks like there's been a lot of assets that have been found, 7 .1 billion and maybe a couple billion dollars in cash, which means that they can, you know, get the business back up and running. You know, those people that are creditors to the administration may not get all of their funds back, but it looks like they might get a majority of their funds back. We're looking, you know, 50 to 70 percent at least. So that's really great to hear. And as we've heard, there's a line of people looking to buy or acquire FTX from the administrators, which is interesting as well. But you know, it's a valuable asset. It was a great product. There's millions of users there. And there's a potential for somebody to turn that into a very prosperous business. So what we talked about a few episodes ago now that there were literally over 100 different entities looking to buy this, but we still have no idea, do we, on who it is that will be taking this off? That's right. And you know, it might be worth pointing out as well that we're talking about, you know, the organization, global which has, you know, subsidiaries or entities based in Europe, based in Australia and based in other jurisdictions and the purchaser would be acquiring all of them. Right. Okay. You got any thoughts on this one, Craig? What's SPF? What's he got to do with this or is he completely out the game now? I would say he's completely out of the game now, yeah. And have you guys heard the conspiracy that he did that, be that bold hack? Have you guys heard about this? I did read a little bit about this last week, but fill us in. Okay. So there was this project called Bold, which was a meme coin on bold, meme coin on base. And it did like millions of percent increase in like a week and, but you couldn't bridge off. So once you were in, you couldn't get out and then it literally got rugged and there's to SPF as like an elaborate way to recover the FTX hole. But I don't know if it's true, but I think, you know, it wouldn't surprise me. It keeps on unraveling, keeps on going and it's insane. Now we did speak to a well known crypto trader, Dax from Crypto Dojo here in Australia. Dax has been vocal at offering up input and help to make sure that those affected had their claims sorted via the correct legal channels. We thought he would be the best person to get an idea of how the feeling was out there amongst the trader community and ask him a few questions earlier this week. What is it that you and the other creditors are pushing for? Do you like the idea of a token? The creditors and the community of creditors would like to see a debt token for sure that is tradable. So, you know, if people want to get access to any of the gap that they're not going to get back from the debtors when they do give the final payout, we can trade that straight away or, you know, we can hold it to maturity and get paid out over time by the exchange fees. All right. So just to give a little bit more context about what a debt token or a utility token for creditors could look like is that, you know, when I used to use Bitfinex back in, you know, 2016, 2017, they were hacked for hundreds of millions of dollars. And they said that they would pay back their customers through revenue, but it could take several years. Right. So what they did was they created a token that and anyone that had debt received the token. And it was initially trading, I think, 10 cents or even 30 cents in the dollar. So if you wanted to recover 30 % of your debt, you could sell that token down. However, over time, it became clear that they were paying down the debt, Bitfinex was, and this was adding to the value of the token. People were eventually made whole. And then this actually became an asset that people traded online. And not from memory, people could also leverage traded. The debt token. You're in poignomics right now. Yeah, yeah. But they came through in the end. And I think what people are wanting here is a similar thing. For example, if creditors only receive 50 cents in the dollar or 70 cents in the dollar and the project, FTX, restarts, then they want a share of the revenue moving forward until their debt is fully recovered. And this is a really interesting mechanism to keep all of the users on the platform and promoting it. As well as that, I think creditors are pushing to have, to be equity holders in the holding, global holding company. So the creditors could actually end up making some really good money out of this. Obviously it's going to take some time and they're going to have to be patient. But if they execute this well, it's going to be an incredible feat. That leads into another question that we asked Dax, which was how the users are feeling about using the FTX exchange again. In terms of like, why would people use that exchange, right? So for example, if you have $100 ,000 or a couple of million dollars on FTX right now, and maybe you get back 50 or 70%, and you know if you trade on that exchange, it's going to add liquidity to the books and the fees that you're paying eventually going to come back to you over time. And also it sort of like creates an entire army of promoters for that exchange as well. You have literally 200 ,000 to a couple of million people that want everyone to use that exchange. I think there's not that many quality exchanges at the moment in the crypto space. So if they can come out and build a lot of trust because of everything that's happened, you know they have a good VC company buys them and they know they do things the right way and they have a really strong custodian that's separated from the business that buys them and you know they don't have a hedge fund that's trading against the traders using their own capital like all the other ones seem to be doing at the moment. It could be a place where it ends up performing very, very well. So we'll have to wait and see. I might just point out one thing that I think we missed here is that one of the key factors that increased the pool of assets was that they removed all executives from the list of creditors as I suppose a punishment. So you know that's one of the other factors that's contributed to people getting a little bit of extra money back. But kind of continuing on from that thought as well, you know FTX had a massive venture book which means they invested into hundreds of companies and many AI companies have done really well in this latest AI boom. So some of these companies I think had done a 10 or 20x. So these things are really helping to chip off the debt for creditors. So there you go, it remains to be seen who will take the reins and exactly how it rolls out but it seems there's some hope for those affected FTX users in this rebirth, ladies and gentlemen. Coinbase is launching their Base Layer 2 blockchain. Starting this Thursday, users will be able to bridge their ETH with the official launch of the main net. Base is the latest Ethereum Layer 2 network developed using Coinbase's OP stack and that's on optimism. Although Base testnet was launched back in February, the main net goes live on August the 9th. Craig, do you want to tell us a little bit more about Base? Yeah, so Coinbase as we know is going to be a Layer 2 on the Ethereum blockchain which is pretty much a whole new network with cheaper gas fees, quicker transaction sizes. So Coinbase are trying to do what Binance have been doing. So Binance launched their own smart chain called Binance Smart Chain which is essentially a fork of Ethereum and now Coinbase are launching their own Layer 2 called Base which is going to be built on top of optimism which we'll talk about in the movers and shakers. But this has kicked off a bit of an on -chain summer where a lot of people are trying to bridge over to the new Layer 2. There's companies like Coca -Cola, Atari, OpenSea all building applications and making art on Base. So it's going to be really interesting. It's going live tomorrow. Actually at the time of recording it would be going live now so it's going to be really interesting to see how the market reacts especially with the Coinbase share price and see how many users actually jump over. And I know we were saying before that they've come out and said that there is no plans for a token but as you know early adopters do tend to get rewarded in these situations. And Layer 2's definitely are the flavor of the season right now. Blake, what are your thoughts on this one? Yeah, you know obviously Binance did a similar thing with Binance Smart Chain. They want to open up the world of DeFi for their organization and build products and services on chain. Essentially Coinbase is a centralized application. They want to diversify their offering clearly and create value for their shareholders but also de -risk a little bit. And I think from a regulatory point of view, these platforms like these side chains and Layer 2 chains are a little bit more regulatory safe right now because it seems like the centralized players are getting sued left, right and center as you see. So yeah, I think it's a great move and it does stick it to Binance a little bit trying to compete with them. Binance did so well with the Binance Smart Chain and PancakeSwap and all the dapps that build on top of them, all the NFT activities. That feels like forever ago but when was that? And all the, I'm sure it was less than two years ago. So I think it's an incredible thing and yeah, it's great to see them evolve and I think this is Brian Armstrong's long term vision, you know, to become a company that builds products and services across the whole ecosystem, centralized or decentralized. Don't forget, Coinbase have a huge venture team where they've been investing in DeFi Web3 projects built on Ethereum and I guess now they'll be the intention to get all those guys building on base and they've got millions of users, 120 billion assets on the platform. So it just seems like an obvious value add for Coinbase. There you go, Coinbase adapting to the market and moving forward. Time now for our Mover and Shaker of the Week. Everyone loves a crypto pump and each week or two we will feature a cryptocurrency or token or project that is grabbing attention and popularity in the market. We want to share the reasons why it's on the rise and what utility and value it holds. This week we take a look at optimism or OP which we've just mentioned in the previous story. This monthly move has been 46%. So Craig, what is it? Yes, so we've just gone through this a little bit. So optimism is a popular layer two solution that makes transactions on Ethereum cheaper and faster, very similar to Arbitrum. They're both actually probably competitors. So optimism now has 120 ,000 users, 850 million in total value locked. They've actually overtaken Arbitrum with transactions and users in the last few months which is, you know, translated into this token pump. So all of the dev environment and all the users are now trying to bridge over to optimism, get involved and try to be the early users on these new Coinbase products. So as you know, actually we've covered this before but optimism was actually one of the big airdrops that happened probably around six months ago. So now I guess all the sellers of the airdrops have ran out and now optimism is now sort of in its second phase. What do you think, Trace? Yeah, look, that's a big one. It's definitely contributed to but there's also a second reason that that pump's occurred and another really well -known project. What's that, Blake? Yeah, exactly right, Trace. Worldcoin has also decided to launch on optimism. While the release has been controversial to say the least, it's helped optimism bypass or surpass the Arbitrum daily transaction number for the first time. And as a result, optimism is up 30 % over the last week and 46 % over the last month. Massive gains. And yeah, so Craig, did you sell your airdrop? I'm an Arbitrum man, no I haven't. Oh, watch out, nice work. I'm huddling, I'm huddling. Yeah, there you go. You've got a bit of long -term commitment to the project. That's good to hear. Look, a lot of projects are also committing to the OP stack, so this one could be one to keep your eye on, folks. OP optimism. Before we head into the break, let's chat really quickly about Litecoin, boys, or LTC, because this one has been a bit of a build -up for the last two or three months to their halving event, which actually took place last week on the 2nd of August. This one's also been a coin that we all speak about in our little chat groups as well. But so far, the Litecoin halving hasn't really done much for the bullish price. Actually, it's quite the opposite. The price of the coin is down 8 .5 % since the event, trading at around $82 .20 at time of recording. So all the price action that was positive happened in the lead -up to the halving, hit $110 early in July. Why has this happened, Blake, do you think? Yeah, is it kind of buy the news and sell the event type of deal? Potentially. Buy the rumor. Buy the rumor. Buy the rumor, yeah, and sell the... could be. It's just a sign of how boring this crypto market is, that our group chat and Twitter was getting excited over Litecoin halving, a coin that no one's used since 2017. I think it's just a sign that we're just looking for something to do, we're looking for something to trade, and there was a narrative that did pick up and then it... yeah, it's over. Yeah, I think it might be worth drawing some similarities and parallels between Litecoin and Bitcoin here, because generally when the Bitcoin halving happens, we see massive price appreciation, but we don't see that with Litecoin, because it's not a dominant player in the ecosystem. And Litecoin is a copy of Bitcoin, it runs a little bit faster, it has some cheaper fees, so it's very similar in dynamics, just... yeah, it looks like it's primarily used, however, for speculation now. Yeah, so just following off that, Blake, the Bitcoin halving is now 252 days away, so 26th of April.

"Sounds challenging for most leaders. It is absolutely, but what are their alternatives? Right now, Gallup said that two out of three people show up every day to their job, not engaged. So what if I have 30 people on my team, according to Gallup, that's not me. I'm just repeating what Gallup said in 2023 that 20 out of those 30 people are not engaged. Which means they're looking to find ways to get out of work. They're looking for times to say it's not my job. They're the ones that had 5 o'clock, all you see are their headlights. And again, I'm not saying it's wrong, but that's what we have to deal with. And if we have people that are not paddling the boat, I look at it as a canoe. If we had all those people on a canoe and only ten of them were paddling, the other 20 people are just standing around or sitting around so let's teach the other let's teach some people how to roll. So that we're able to imagine where a team could go if that tan went to 15. If we just increased our output by 50%, that would be huge, and that's 5 people. And that's probably because you'd sit down and get to know them. Understand them. Validate them, have empathy for them. Those are pieces that they've probably haven't had before. And yeah, it is an easy. I wish it was super easy where you could flip a switch and everybody showed up, got there early, stayed late, and just did an amazing customer experience job, but unfortunately that's not the workforce we have today. Yeah, that is for sure. And do you think or do you have any information on whether customers will pay more for a better experience? Absolutely. Yeah, I mean, the numbers are staggering. It's in the 60 to 70% range of people that say they will pay more for a good experience. Wow. So let's just, you know, and people are like, oh, you can tell, you can ask whatever you want. You know, you don't know my customer. You don't know my product. You don't know my industry. I mean, I hear that all the time. Sure. And I'm not here to say that you are an exception. Maybe are.

Then i don't think i could act out a scene or i'm kissing someone for you know i just. I didn't know i could do it either. I was so what. What did i take. Seems incredibly personal. I mean that was incredibly personal. You know for sure but again. I think when i was doing it it was. It was more just like experimentation like. Let's see. i've never done this before. I'm gonna live in the moment. And then in the moment i was like if i was coming onto this person this is what i. This is the tone of voice i would use. This is who. I would become if i was going to come onto this person you know so i think the reason why quote unquote acting was fun for me is because i really was just being myself in a strange situation that makes you know and i think i think for me. The like the part of the creative process that i do really love is going into waters. I've never been in before like after after that acting day in the park. I ran six miles. Because i was like. I usually do a loop around a place. That's like three miles. And i was like what if i just did two loops today. I've also never run six miles before you know.

I'm building ideal. My partner ski. Would you guys want to do this. Unusual yes joint venture partner. We did it and you know that's how we started. I'll tell you one thing that That i think was a challenge for me That it was dominated by. Abc dotcom. absolutely jimmy. That's the opportunity. I just literally called up the the vice president of programming of abc five that most called abc five before it was tv. And i said i wanna produce shows on primetime. You need to meet with me. And he's like cool are you. I said i'm sorry. And then i started naming a man. Yeah and then he goes. Oh okay then we met. And then that's how we're able to build the prime time slot. And and i have to say i remember. Somebody did asked me a- decade after we created it. I realized looking back now. How risky that move boss. And i could have lost millions again Man it was so risky. But i never saw the risk i never saw as there was for me. There was no chance for failure for me. Failure was out an option. Basically it was going to succeed. And that's how i did it. That's amazing what was his first show. Because again you're asking for this opportunity and then you know again zero experience. It's hard to get. It's always the first one that's always. Eventually it will snowball. It becomes a domino effect. What was the concept. And if you've got prime time that would have been a hell of an idea young actually It was a hell of a pressure because you got prime dime. And if we didn't produce the ad revenues that we should We would lose a lot of money and obviously than we would get kicked out of the network because we we didn't produce results But the bar so low because abc five was selling like one or two ads. The most for our. I only had to really and i'm ahead of the head of the standard already. And they were reading like point zero one. So if i dissuaded boy one. I was ten times better than they could do. I create an the thing was. I didn't know how to produce shows. I said my partner to produce shows nabu probe productions probe yes hetch. Lazzaro is one of my partners and we created shows. We came up with ideas and they're the ones who came up with a really good reality show concept. We sat down as a team. You said this. Come up with an idea. Everyone wants to do a travel show right. I said that's boring. Let's make it where we get a filipina. Her switch them around with somebody from a different country. They switch places for thirty days. They're going to each others world for thirty days and then live each other's lives. That would be called a exchange And that was the first reality show. We create that that was one of the first But i didn't i just that. Was this idea i had. And they were the ones who produce it. The hosts that time was a girl named rima. Chang-chol rewa of course yup charming. I'll write that time. She was just like she just auditioned. And we said that's still. I'm so dow was the one of the first shows we did but i didn't Do the actual production. 'cause i didn't know how it was just more the concept. Now the show that. I produce a show called on air yes. Gm am right. The concept of that was we were simple. i said. let's just put a camera in glorieta a booth a big booth. You go in and i remember my chapel. Why go to that book because there was no camera phones at time. Right said you have one minute to say and do whatever you want. We'll pick the best footage and put it on. Tv that show was a major hip. People have never seen anything like it. It was incredible right now. That's that's great now. That was on for awhile. I remember multiple watching multiple seasons seasons of right and there are a lot of crazy highlights on it right and whatnot but in in media longevity is rare you know what was the pivot that the eventually had to do. When you're your cash. Cows were near when the writing was on the wall. So for media your shows you're only as good as your last show. Jack and i never get a bachelor show. If i think the show is not reading. We'll cut it. We'll cancel it so every maybe actually every season we would call with ideas. If i could just find all the reels of all the test pilots we did. It would be amazing. Just show it all. I don't have it anymore unfortunately But we created all these new concepts and the conned every probably every year we come up with a new concept and one concept. We came up with really became very hugely successful as a show called. Single single single was a concept where that dime we basically follow the guy who was single and recorded everything he did and then he said on tv. I'm single. I'm looking for some a girlfriend. Email me email damian. And everyone email him with their volvo and then onto the on were videotaping him looking at people's profiles and in asking the mountain date and the date and then people would vote on texts. Vote sms bull so that showed the killing for us and even launched the career of the band called stone. Free why Yup we said we couldn't afford to pay say we found out we can't play music. That's commercial music. Greco said well. Why don't we look for indian opium bands that our new. We got all these recordings when we listen to stone said this is going to be the theme song of singles mirrow. Who's yes. I still got my media thousands their job. Oh there so we did that and then after that on i remember an on air Remember we have to keep evolving. Evolution is important. I remember There were these guys on air booth would dance and sing in seventy excludes.

"There you go elon. Musk actually wants to invest here. But again i'm still figuring out the valuation knew how i let him in the short time machine because we've had in the whole region at least we've had the most amazing guys read this time machine with with me but i want to dissect so philly told us about your past how you've met martin news professor but i want to talk about your other co founders. Here the started. Brian giger here who also looks like a top deal today. A polk months brian. What's up and i to find out. What was your first exposure to entrepreneurship. And what was your life. Pre dash labs so. I would say to answer that question. One is that my parents my parents have been very entrepreneurial going back to my grandmom side somatic. Coffee shop died Cadets on business than sort of again in high school with martin was also a teacher He basically set up the what we call next lab so it was like a club. Were you built projects as an extra get in than when it went university. It was just building stuff. And i ended up founding for start up in plenty. Eighteen university had a second one. Twenty nineteen left that input twin peaks went back to the philippine sup- to be arrested. Then covert happened. I reconnected with a group and started working on dash stafford that were by default. Is it yes so But they went to business school. So i owe learning programming in school with martin Do gap years on actually to work as a programmer somewhere and then basically decided you know. I'm going to go to business school to learn something that the economics seem interesting. But how'd you cities Than a new program that want to be forced to study programming because it is pretty fine. That's very interesting brian. Because again by default programmers knowing them are problem solvers by default. They're wired differently is engineering technically right. You're you're trying to solve with code but also see based on experience that there is a wide chasm between programming and life. Business solutions sometimes. That's why the scrum masters exists product. Managers exists because if you don't have that empathy towards what a a really want sometimes what happens is a programmer ends up creating a product. Nobody wants to use and he falls in love with a problem. But you having that ability to really be exposed on business and programming. That's a secret sauce right there but Before we get to your next andrews. I wanted to stand having that point of view mixing business and tech. How do you approach solving problems now. Really looking at having those two exposures. How do you marry them into one. So maybe just a reflection made rolled right l. What i'm doing most of the time one is like looking at what exists in the world and especially for projects we have no the clients. Want clients need Since i'm familiar with the schema in the way our product works internally. I sort of converted to the issues. But it on the board so that that's have an easier time in building the product. That's amazing and again looking at looking at the best. Ceo's that are really making companies that become unicorns majority time then mark zuckerberg world and whatnot. They're lead but there's a big button lead and they build product because again. The sad reality sometimes end up philippines for again i think. The second largest outsourcing company or country in the world that outsources deck that in most of our devos's locally at least sell their services instead of building products. Great job now. I wanna go to your teacher okay. Service are martin. What have you been doing getting all these kids suit. I wanna find out What was your life. Prior to dash labs. And what are we doing with these kids in. How were you giving them a glimpse of the future. I guess it's really year of opportunity to be able to mold natural talent great. I mean if you don't have good material to work with us than it's a bit challenging as well do be able to create good products to in a in a sense. I i would say that What happened was that it was their own interest I provided them with Show them which doors are possible and then they were the ones who will actually open do stores and step into them teaching back then just to provide to give a shout houston where these guys. You met these guys. Sure so. i'm i talked to save your voice. let's okay savior. And i have also on luminous of a senior. Why did i teach savior. I actually did not in my wildest dreams even think about teaching back then. It just so happened that i was invited backs to teach for like a one year and then a federal over there for fifteen years so to me that aspect of you're able to create a lot of these innovations including the creation of an invasion lab where we did suffer developmental robotics entrepreneur at the number of lesser initiatives as well right and when the hammer down several things because other than being a faculty and being a teacher by default. I've seen literally after a lengthy and beat been also teaching a lot of people outside of the academe like being head of campus programs and information technology. Sharpie you're also a mentor in stanford so it's important right in an amazing team that you have an adult in a room. Who's again if you have an an adult in the room who also is inclined towards teaching. That is a secret sauce as well. Because now all of a sudden you can again be the adult in the room and get people to look farther than what they see on their own horizon. Yeah so i have always been in human resources in human capital. Celeste in learning undevelopment. Even when i was with. Ibm i was there for ten years. I was majorly an learning Of the locate there s a Designer a soil as a program manager for l. d. also dead management consulting since forward clients for human capital management and a as one of the country heads of choppy where i essentially focused on.

That's amazing now last question before ticker for you guys all came from one origin in you all love science by default. But what is the common thing that you guys saw. Because i'm pretty sure you're not the only people that That came from this club that you're in right. What's that meeting of the minds. That happened when you decided.

I was really intense but a lot we got done would like when you have such a short time line lead to you. I guess making House are charging more sometimes. Yes yeah like. I think there would be a rush fee depending on So if you had if you had your way how long would you have liked to take on such a project at least a month or a month and a half. Because it's nice to be able to have revision time and time to really develop something especially for something like this. That is going to be a huge touch point like coffee cups. There's so many people carrying coffee cups and but that was a big part. That really excited me about. The project is thinking about my design work in so many people's hands around the city so even if it was a tight time line sometimes with projects kind of have to be like yesterday. No this right as with most things in life. So so i guess how do we get into design. I got into design sort of. I don't know if it's by accident or just when i got here and went into nasca. They have a foundation year program. Where you get to try different classes and then i tried different ones from the philippines. Yeah art was always kind of a hobby for me. I didn't even know that. I could pursue it as a career So i kind of feel really lucky as to how things had aligned in my life. And when i found design kind of just made the most sense to me where it was kind of intersection between commerce and visual arts and you have a a thing to solve or a goal when you're a designer so that was really nice for me to be able to do that. A lot of my family background is. There's a lot of business people in my family so it kind of made sense in sort of that way. Yeah i think so. You're a foundation. Yeah you did all those things like No i liked these. I'm oh what happened for me. So he's like one or two years of just signed In foundation that's first year and then second third and fourth year you kind of develop or explore whichever department you want to pursue i did. I did design and fashion at the same time. Because i wanted to work on something very tactile. Where design is also a lot of computer work. Yeah as you can tell i kinda like to dabble in many things like doing hashinoto after university Not as much. Because there's not a lot. In halifax. I did work. With one of my classmates maggie jane as her studio assistant for one of the summers. But i haven't really pursued it as much as graphic design work. I think i knew graduating that. Maybe that would be more of my realm in some capacity like in the future. I would love to be able to do design work for fashion companies or sort of tie that somewhere along the way whether it's through art directing photo shoots or maybe like making a small line myself. Who knows. i have no idea or editorial work like if you were suppose. If would your personal be. You're gonna be in dirt on a project save fashion shoot or feel.

They had separate sleeves before and now they had one that's produced. That's all in one piece. So it's a lot more eco friendly and a lot more designed space for that so that was really exciting. I guess what was your process for that I guess getting to know the the brand. I in what they wanted to say Pevez very well known for their kind of eco friendly local sourcing and stuff like that but a lot of people don't quite know that they also have a huge tie to italy and a lot of their brand comes from the time that the kohner was living there. He's got roots there and he's also a painter. They also do annual tours to italy. Yeah all right so that was kind of an inspiration for the design of the cups. And so we had picked out four different italian sayings and then translated it hand. Let i- hand-lettered at and We had tied it to their excellent coffee in through some copywriting so so like an example of one would be an example of one of the things is gabriel casa which is beautiful thing and then kind of tying that to like The copywriting said something like you could use it to describe like a beautiful day.

"Why don't you unpack. This no fell video formula. Because i think this is really going to draw the picture for people. I think this is going to put it a little bit more concrete structure for them. So as i mentioned earlier i have been in front of the camera for many many years. I was a long time tv journalist. I've made all of my mistakes. Live in front of a lot of people and when i started working with business owners when i started my company. I realized that the things that i did for. Tv for the news for my job. It was the system. I just didn't put it into words. Just i didn't have to. I was under a deadline. I had multiple deadlines a day and so focused on any of those pieces. I wouldn't get my job done. So i had to create this system to help explain to business owners. I was working with the path to creating video so zero video is to me a five step process and all laid out right here is five peaks. It's prepare position process publish and promote and again when i was in the newsroom when i was working under deadline i did all of these things. Just did them all at the same time and i did not wittingly. Didn't like think about it. I just did it. But then since then i've had to really break it down to help people who are not used to a deadline. Who are not used to being in front of the camera to really see how to make this work for them. So the one thing. I want to say before i kind of go through my five. Ps is that being on camera is comfortable uncomfortable for everybody for most everybody. Most people i work with. They don't feel comfortable. They don't like the sound of their voice. They don't like the way their hair looks right. Now i don't love the way my hair looks but you just push through knowing that the information that you're sharing the value you're giving is more important than anything else and the first step of my no fill video formula is to prepare. Unfortunately being on video needs a little bit more equipment than like logging or even podcasting. You kind of need a camera so most of the time a camera that you have that you're using to text with to check your stocks with is good enough. The smartphone that you have in your hand will have a camera that is good enough and preparing is just that preparing that preparing and making sure you have a camera preparing your audio to make sure that you're in a quiet place if you don't have an external microphone and then also making sure that people can see you so i do have a light on me right now but if you don't sitting by a window and making sure you're facing the window so that the light is shining on you is really enough. There doesn't need to be a huge monetary outlay. If that's where you want to start which is using what you have right now. And i know a lotta people kind of get stuck in the prepare mode. I know it. Because i hear all the questions. Oh you know. Should i get this camera. Should i get that an icee. Let's wait until we figure out how you're going to use video in your business and if you continue with it sure get the next level. Dsl our share. A picture with me. Because i love to stay ahead. I love a good camera just like anybody else but until you get to that point. Let's start with what you have. And then the next part is the next part that dumps people is the positioning that you have in your space. What are you going to say on camera. How are you going to connect with people who want to hear what you have to say and so positioning is really just figuring out who want to talk to on camera and giving them content. That will help them create value in their day so that could look very different for many different people when i do videos from youtube channel. I know that people are asking me questions about equipment. They're asked me questions about scripts and they're asked me questions about backgrounds and things like that so my videos are focused on giving them those answers. So i have a script template that i share. I have all kinds of equipment guide that people can download for free and if you look at your content in that way you can do the same thing for your audience. It's really funny. You know. I'm glad you brought that up. It's funny because i have. I think i have over one hundred videos on my youtube channel. And i would bet that eighty percent of them. The topics of eighty percent of them were questions. The people had asked me either. They asked me over social or by email or maybe it was in another video alive. I was doing. They had asked this question in the comments. But i take a lot of my content. The topics from questions people are asking me because after all i'm here to serve them. It's not about what's interesting to me. It's about what they wanna know. So i love that as a tip. I think that's a simple easy tip on how to start creating ideas of what you're going to talk about. I love this tip to is more more so in the last few months i've been on a lot of virtual call like summits and webinars with organizations with a lot of people who are on the call and they ask you a bunch of questions and so i'll take the questions that come in through zoom and i'll just save them a click save on the chat and take those questions and turn them into videos knowing that if one person is asking that question most likely someone else is asking it somewhere that i can figure out. Seo wise how to put that on youtube. But then i also have a piece of video that answers the question that i know that at least one person has so i can even send that video to that one person but it's not so much that we don't have content in her head or that we even have trouble organizing it is sometimes. We just don't know where to get started and to me. That's a great start. If people already asking you questions save it. Save it somewhere safe so you can refer to it over and over again. Just keep a running list. I actually have google. Doc and i actually have a note in my iphone. Wear whenever a topic comes up whenever a question comes up. I always just keep rolling index of topics and i usually put them in kind of title format. And then i use that as kind of the framework of what i'm going to create the content about whether it be a podcast episode or a video or blockbuster. Whatever it's just a habit that i've developed over the years so i think that's a great idea. I love that and my problem. Unfortunately i have a lot of ideas and a lot of different places. I put them in. So don't do that. Note to self right. Do not do that. If you're going to have a google. Doc have one not like five where things are difficult to find. And that's the other thing is sort of creating for yourself. A process that you will follow. I was just talking to a client. Just a bit ago and i said to her. What if you started a weekly facebook live to your audience. They ask you questions all the time they ask you all the time. All kinds of questions you have answers to that for them relate and you have answers for them that are related to your business. Maybe add some sort of product is out of stock. Or you're getting a new shipment of this or your hours changing. Why don't we have a weekly update like wednesdays at ten. Am that you can share all of the updates for the week and your audience knows to check in on that every single week at the same time and if they're not there live they can catch the replay. What i find is that me saying that is one thing but actually having them feel comfortable enough to do that is another so we just wanna give one tip dennis and you know. I know you probably didn't have to do this in the very beginning. But some people don't necessarily feel comfortable talking on camera so what you could do is just turn on your camera like turn on your phone. Swipe up put the camera on selfie mode and start recording yourself every morning after you get up. Maybe after you've had some coffee record yourself giving like a one minute tip of the day. It won't go anywhere it won't unless you wanted to won't go anywhere. Just have it on your phone and try that for seven days and then take a look at them. See how you feel about them after. You've recorded them. What you'll probably see is it wasn't so bad and then you're kind of building that muscle memory. You're like oh. I can do this. I can record this on my phone. I can share this tip. I can share that tip and it can be succinct. It can be valuable and once it's on my phone. I can share it.
