Is the Wealth Gap Widening? The gap is not between rich and poor - it is between those with assets and those without. The good news is that technology has made it easier to go from the have-nots to the haves. While not every country has the same beliefs about going from poor to wealthy, in the U.S., we cheer when someone accomplishes that feat. We talk about where the government is spending dollars and how we may not be able to get rid of the Federal Reserve or the Department of Education. However, if a better system is created, the old system will become irrelevant. We still have a lot of waste, fraud, and abuse occurring. How can you protect yourself? Buy more hard assets faster! Don't miss the special offer in this episode!

Guest: Dr. Hal Blatman What if the pain you feel isn’t coming from where you feel it? In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Allen Lycka welcomes Dr. Hal Blatman—trailblazing physician, fascia reconstructionist, and one of North America’s leading experts in myofascial pain and regenerative medicine. Together, they unpack the surprising truth about chronic pain: most of it doesn’t come from joints, discs, or nerves. Instead, fascia—the connective tissue that holds the body together—is often the real source. Dr. Blatman shares patient stories, breakthrough techniques, and a new way to understand pain that has helped over 15,000 people reclaim their lives. From trigger points to plantar fasciitis, from numbness misdiagnosed as neuropathy to the powerful role of food-driven inflammation, this conversation reveals how pain can often improve within minutes once you find the true source. Dr. Blatman also dives into regenerative medicine, explaining how modern tools like PRP, ozone, and stem cells can help rebuild the body from the inside out. If you or someone you love has been told to “live with the pain,” this episode will show you why that may not be true—and how hope for real healing is closer than you think. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: • Why pain rarely comes from the place you feel it • How fascia, not joints or discs, is often the real source of chronic pain • The five rules Dr. Blatman uses to decode pain instantly • Why traditional stretching fails—and what actually works • How inflammatory foods like gluten, cow dairy, and sugar can “glue” your body together • When regenerative tools like PRP, ozone, and stem cells can accelerate true healing Connect with Dr. Hal Blatman: • Website: blatmanhealthandwellness.com Click here to claim your free gift: The Fascia-First Chronic Pain Reset Guide

Bringing it Back Together There is a lot of pressure pulling people apart in society based on race, religion, and other beliefs. While many of our elected officials are voting party lines or the way they believe the president wants them to vote, there are 3 that are voting based on the Constitution. They have come under a lot of negative comments because of that. One of our big issues is the national debt, and we can't fix economic problems the way we did in the 1980's. We talk about what is going on today and how you can protect yourself and your finances in the turbulent times we are in.

Al Topping joined Pan Am Airlines in 1969, and by November 1972, he was the Director of Operations for Vietnam and Cambodia, living in Saigon with his wife. In April 1975, Al had 62 employees working for him, one American and the rest Vietnamese. As the North Vietnamese continued to push south, Pan Am Airlines committed to their employees to evacuate them and their immediate families. Watching the last World Airways passenger plane from Da Nang land in Saigon was a shock. The plane was full of bullet holes, and blood was dripping from the wheel wells where Vietnamese who tried escape were crushed to death as the landing gear were retracted. Early in April, Topping facilitated the departure of two Pan Am 747s (Operation Babylift) with over 600 children aboard. Pan Am’s final flight out of Vietnam was scheduled for Thursday, April 24, 1975, a normal flight departure day, so as not to arouse any suspicion of it being the last flight. There was not enough time to secure visas and passports for his employees and their families to get out of the country. However, the children who escaped on Operation Babylift were granted waivers for adoption paperwork, and Al seized the opportunity. He arranged to “adopt” 311 of his employees and their families to get them out of the country. Pan Am’s last 747 to depart Vietnam flew with 463 souls on a plane designed to hold 375. As the days of April 1975 dwindled in Saigon, Al Topping told his concerned employees, “Just have faith, we’ll figure something out,” and he did.
