S4 Ep 210Awaken Hope with Kalee Boisvert on Soul Rich

Have you ever felt like you had to be smaller, quieter, or more “together” just to belong? Have you spent years tending to everyone else, only to realize that somewhere along the way… you forgot parts of yourself? This book is your remembering. Through poetic reflections, bold inner truths, and grounded soul prompts, The Remembered Woman gently guides you back to who you’ve always been—beneath the roles, the noise, and the expectations. You’ll be invited to remember: Kalee Boisvert has spent over fifteen years in the financial industry, driven by a desire to rewrite the money story she grew up with. Raised in a single-parent household, she became passionate early on about financial empowerment and helping others create freedom and confidence through money. But her path didn’t stop there. Over time, Kalee’s work expanded into something deeper: a soul-level invitation for women to remember who they are. Today, she writes both financial and spiritual books—offering practical tools, tender truth, and gentle reminders that you are already enough. You’ve done the budgeting. You’ve tried to be grateful. You’ve worked hard, given your all, and still felt like something was missing. This isn’t another money manual. It’s an honest look at how you relate to money, and how you can start feeling good in that relationship. Written for the woman who is tired of tying her worth to her wallet, Soul Rich blends emotional wisdom with financial clarity. Inside, you’ll meet the version of you who feared money, avoided it, chased it, or used it as proof. And the version of you who is finally ready to feel peace instead of pressure. Through real-talk reflections, grounded money truths, and gentle Soul Bank Practices, this book invites you to • Reclaim your worth independent of your bank account • Release guilt, shame, and the pressure to have it all figured out • Let money support the life you actually want • Learn to receive, rest, and feel safe with enough This isn’t about getting rich fast. It’s about building a relationship with money that actually feels good. If you’ve ever felt like you had to do it all alone. If you’ve ever wondered when it’s your turn. If you’re ready to feel at home in both your life and your finances. This is your invitation. And you are allowed to be soul rich. https://bit.ly/soulrichkaleeboisvert

No Country for Old People: A filmmaker chronicles the last 6 months of her mother’s life in a 5-star nursing home and discovers the system designed to protect our most vulnerable has been flouted by venture capitalists and real estate investment trusts. For decades greed has caused millions of people insufferable consequences and even death, yet most of the public has no idea until it’s too late.

S4 Ep 206Saving Amercia Week In Review 10_25_25

Hamas just proved what they are: A terrorist regime that silences its own people. While some hostages were returned to Israel, Hamas EXECUTED 8 Palestinian DISSIDENTS who dared to call for a non-Hamas government in Gaza. This isn't about liberation—it's about tyranny. We must support Israel in defeating this brutal, oppressive force. The supposedly 'apolitical' Nobel Committee was caught red-handed when the winner herself exposed the truth. Machado thanks Trump for his decisive support. They snubbed him this year, but with a Ukraine/Russia peace deal, the world will have no choice next year.China just weaponized the minerals that build our F-35s, electric cars, and smartphones. The CCP is proving again that we cannot rely on them. This is an attack on our supply chains and national security. We must unleash American mining and end our crippling dependence on communist China!Well-organized protests during work hours and now $50,000 bounties on ICE/Border Patrol agents? This isn't grassroots, it's an organized attack. DHS confirms Mexican criminal networks are paying. Why is the Left silent? The cartels benefit most from our open border chaos.Families are hurting & jobs are being lost because of the #SchumerShutdown. 🚨 Senate Dems chose to hold the government hostage over their radical, socialist wish list. Stop the political games, pass a clean funding bill, & let's clear out the D.C. waste that got us here. Open the government NOW!Out with Dominion, in with Liberty Vote! But a name change doesn't fix the core problem: who is running our elections. The machines are secondary—the people are paramount. We need uniform, top-to-bottom federal oversight to ensure election laws are followed and the people's vote is safe. This is about national Election Integrity!The AIDS Funding SCANDAL: Our government spent $110 BILLION on AIDS prevention, yet less than half went to doctors, nurses, and actual medicine. This isn't charity, it's a massive, bloated bureaucracy wasting taxpayer dollars. It's time to DRAIN THE SWAMP in public health. Accountability NOW!Another bookstore chain, Half Price Books, is closing stores. Meanwhile, Barnes & Noble pivoted to give customers what they want, not what the cultural elite dictates. It's a clear lesson for corporate America: Stop obsessing over politics and start focusing on sound business and real customer demand. The market is speaking!Heartbreaking tragedy in Tennessee. Sixteen American workers who were building munitions for our defense industry were killed at the Accurate Energetic Systems plant. We must support the families in this small community and demand a full, transparent investigation. Every detail must be uncovered to ensure those serving our national security are not put at risk by corporate negligence or regulatory failure. Their lives deserve accountability.The incredible 1974 story of Candelaria Villanueva: shipwrecked, adrift for 48 hours, and saved by a literal giant sea turtle. This is a powerful reminder that faith, grit, and the unseen hand of Providence work miracles when all hope seems lost. You cannot explain away the divine spark in these acts of creation. This week, I’m joined by Dr. Jennifer Smith, an expert in virology and immunology! She breaks down why the term "safe and effective" for vaccines isn't rooted in science, shares her deep concerns about the toxicity of many common medications, and reveals her mission to establish a much-needed toxicity database for vaccines and meds. Don't miss this crucial conversation!Joel Gardner, President of the Jefferson Council, stopped in to discuss the erosion of free speech and diversity of thought in universities, and how his organization is helping to combat this.

S4 Ep 201Financial Friday: Speculation vs. Investing

FF: Speculation vs. Investing Gold and silver are hitting all-time highs measured in today's dollars, but if we adjust for inflation, silver is still undervalued. One comment from the president about tariffs was enough to cause price drops in cryptocurrencies, although even after that drop, Bitcoin is still up 20% for the year. There is a big difference between Speculating and Investing. You need to understand the difference and learn how to invest. China and India are out of silver to sell, and if the London silver market freezes, the entire market will see the effects. You need to own physical metal - not ETF's.

S4 Ep 199Property Taxes and the Letter from Above

Property Taxes and the Letter from Above Today we discuss a listener email from Reverend Stanley and one of his congregation members regarding the burden of property taxes. We talk about how the "Tax Equalization Division" sent a letter to the auditor of one of the counties in Ohio stating that the "value of residential property should be increased by 42%." The government doesn't want to shrink, but why are we spending billions on the TSA when they have a failure rate of 95%? Why are we more concerned with how to fund schools that are getting poor results while senior citizens that have worked to pay off their mortgage are now losing their homes because their property taxes have skyrocketed? Now is the time we need smaller government, but it will take the citizens banding together to get things done. We discuss all this and more in this episode!

Society has made it so that talking about the mRNA Covid injection is a taboo subject, but we know this information needs to be out there for people to make informed decisions. From the 33% higher miscarriage rate to the 510% increase in myocarditis, there are risks to this jab that aren't being talked about. Most people are not aware that this mRNA spike protein crosses the placenta and can be transmitted from mother to child. What is talked about even less is that it can pass from FATHER to child (even if the mother was NOT vaccinated). We talk about this and more as well as encourage you to do your own research.

S4 Ep 172Awaken Hope with Dr. Lewis Meline on How To Eat Healthy

Dr. Lewis Meline I began my education in nutrition, exercise, and weight loss while serving in the United States Air Force nearly fifty years ago. Like many other military personnel (and civilians for that matter), I was very overweight and out-of-shape. It really bothered me to be like this, so I began to study everything that I could find to help me lose weight and get in better shape, eventually deciding to lift weights.​ Many different athlete and other diets were used over the years. They included very high protein intake and a variety of supplements. The supplements were very expensive (nothing has changed in that regard) and there were many times when I could not afford them. After several years of blindly following the various diet plans, and using recommended supplements, I began to notice that the expected results were not being obtained. There was no difference in my strength and muscle mass during the times that I could take the supplements and when I couldn’t. I also noticed that losing weight was no different whether I did or didn’t take various supplements advertised to make you lose weight. What was the cause of this? Was it poor supplements? Was I taking the wrong supplements or using them inappropriately? Maybe my workouts were inadequate or I was doing the exercises incorrectly or even using the wrong exercises. This observation bothered me and I began to research the answer to these discrepancies.​ During this time, I was accepted to medical school. Now, finally I would be able to get the answers that I sought. However, I was sorely disappointed. Medical school did not teach the physiology I was looking for and it did not address the nutritional questions I wanted to answer. It also did not address weight loss, except for a brief mention of the consequences of being overweight. Therefore, I could not resolve the discrepancies I had noted and was left to research this information on my own. I continued to study from textbooks and any other information that I could find. I also spent a lot of time studying physical exercise and ways to improve my workouts. There were several vitally important discoveries that I made concerning Diet, Supplements, Weight Loss, Exercise and especially Health. My desire to educate people about my findings led me to write a book, “Lies Exposed.” This book educates people as to what is proper nutrition, and how to apply that information to lose weight while maximizing their health. This information is vital for anyone who is serious about wanting to lose weight. This is especially true, since most people seeking weight loss are not aware of the need to maximize their health, and that supplements and medications are more detrimental than beneficial. The knowledge contained in my book was used as a basis for developing the coaching programs used by Straight Shooter Health, a platform for helping people lose weight and maximize their health.

Her clients appreciate her deep empathy, her insight and unique perspectives on grief, her encouragement and ability to kindle hope in the darkest moments, and her attentive and active listening, which makes them feel safe to unpack even the most painful losses.

Jennifer shares her story to inspire others to believe they, too, can be restored and live a glorious life after loss. Before her coaching career, she spent 20+ years working as an Accountant, CFO, and CEO. Then, her numerous personal losses and unresolved pain threatened to collapse all she worked so hard to achieve. While she loved her business career, she felt a calling to do more to help women in need. She quit her corporate job and became an ICF Certified Life Coach and GRI Certified Grief Specialist. Jennifer founded the Center for Help and Hope, a non-profit organization, to make coaching accessible to women and families in need. She lives in San Antonio, TX with her partner Johnny, her son Jake, and her fluffy companion Orion. Her daughter Jayme is a senior at Texas A&M University.

S4 Ep 168Saving Amercia Week In Review 10_18_25

The spike in violence across America is NOT a coincidence. It’s the consequence of a failed border strategy. President Trump was right to designate ANTIFA as a terrorist organization. Focus on the facts and the threat. We need LAW and ORDER now!GREAT NEWS! The hostages are home because of American leadership and strength. This is not the end—it's the first step. Israel cannot be safe while Hamas is armed. Phase Two must be total DEMILITARIZATION. NO weapons. NO more terror.First UVA, now George Mason University. The federal government's investigation into illegal discrimination via DEI programs is officially expanding. This is a massive shift in higher education.Jay Jones' 2022 texts about shooting a political opponent—and wishing pain on his family—have been made public, creating a firestorm in the Virginia AG race. Bipartisan condemnation is mounting, with Republicans demanding Jones withdraw. Is this the end of his campaign?The mask is off! CISA's documented push to flag "disinformation" combined with the FCC Chair's chilling remarks on Jimmy Kimmel about regulating speech are flashing red lights for free expression. This isn't about safety, it's about control. We MUST defend the First Amendment!The coffee giant is shrinking! Starbucks is closing an estimated ~400-500 underperforming stores and laying off 900 non-retail workers as part of a $1 BILLION restructuring plan. It's all part of CEO Niccol's push to save the "Third Place" experience, but it comes at a major cost to employees and communities.Stevia Cures Cancer?! A new study shows that fermented stevia extract (FSLE) creates a compound that selectively kills pancreatic cancer cells in the lab while leaving healthy cells alone. This natural sweetener could be a groundbreaking treatment path. More research needed, but the finding is sweet!We sat down with retired Marine pilot & recovery coach Garret Biss (ValiantPath) to discuss the hidden crisis: the true roots of veteran trauma & why military addiction recovery is unique. Biss explains how his program helps struggling heroes find their ValiantPath. It's time to help those who served!Idiot Democrats are spreading rumors that Trump is killing social security, but that’s just not true.In a landmark lawsuit filed in a U.S. federal court, survivors of the October 7th attack, along with the families of those killed, are seeking $500 million in damages from the Qatar-based media outlet Al Jazeera.The fascinating Jorge Fernandez stopped by the studio this week to talk about the political intricacies of his adopted home of Puerto Rico, as well as how his companies BitStop and Gold ATM are changing the landscape of cryptocurrency and free banking.States fighting back! Nebraska, Indiana, Idaho, South Carolina, & Arizona filed a lawsuit that challenged Biden's Executive Order #14026 on federal contractor minimum wage. Citing overreach & potential economic harm, they took a stand for states' rights.The FCC has announced they will be investigating Disney & ABC over their alleged use of discriminatory DEI practices.Biden granted Sunnova Energy $3B (the largest federal loan to a solar company in history). They’re now warning they may go bankrupt.A top leader of the gang MS-13, Joel Vargas- Escobar AKA “Momia,” is in FBI custody.

FF: Forget About Price - Look at Value There is a big difference between money and currency. While people were fascinated by alchemy, you cannot turn lead into gold. That is one of the reasons that gold is money. Since you can't just make more of it, it cannot be inflated like currency. We go over the market caps of different investments and how they relate to each other. We also talk about IPO's, risk, and price expectations. Since the dollar can be inflated, it may be better to measure the cost of things in something that the government cannot just make more of, like gold.

Communism, Control, and the Constitution Today we talk about the mayoral candidate for the city of New York, Zohran Mamdani, and how the ideas that he wants to bring to New York are not new, have been tried before with disastrous results, and have not helped the people he claims to want to help. If people want a better life for themselves and their families, they can use their drive to create value, and the world will pay them for the value they provide.

S4 Ep 159Unshakable Leadership: What a Police Dog Taught Me About Trust, Resilience, and Retention

Guest: Vynny Hick What can a police dog teach us about leadership? In this powerful episode, Dr. Allen Lycka sits down with Vynny Hick—decorated law enforcement veteran, bilingual keynote speaker, and leadership trainer—to uncover lessons from 30 years in policing, recruitment, and K-9 handling. From leaving home at 15 to becoming a respected Ontario Provincial Police officer and national recruiter, Vynny’s journey is one of resilience, transformation, and service. He shares candid lessons about choosing to be “better, not bitter,” why retention matters as much as recruitment, and how gratitude practices keep leaders grounded. And yes—you’ll hear the unforgettable story of the police dog who cracked a cold case. If you’ve ever faced setbacks, struggled with leadership challenges, or wanted to build deeper trust with your team, this episode will inspire you to lead with clarity, courage, and calm. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: • Why leadership is about mindset, not titles • How trusting your experts can change everything (including a K-9 story that solved a crime) • Why retention is the missing piece in most recruitment strategies • The “bitter or better” choice that builds resilience in hard times • How daily gratitude rituals strengthen leaders and teams Connect with Vynny Hick: • Website: vynnyhick.com • Social: LinkedIn | Instagram | Facebook Click here to claim your free gift: The Unshakable Leadership Toolkit
