In this explosive FundFocu$ highlight, host Rhonda Klch grills Matthew Chang of Chang Robotics on VC frustrations: Top 50 firms snag 70% funds, sidelining 20M accredited investors in a concentrated mess of 8-10 year lockups and SaaS-era underwriting failing AI robotics, mechanical engineering tech, and deep tech. Chang's fix?

AIM Company: First $5K accredited portal (aimcompany.us) for Main Street bets on manufacturing revival—AI compliance agent streamlines, early exits payout per deal in a 5-year fund. Inspired by his nurse mom's slim accreditation and neighbor enthusiasm, Chang flips the script: Engineer-led scouting for character-driven founders in industrial AI, energy efficiency, and robotics (cr.fund for institutions).

Quotes from Jeremy: "It's big or broke. There is no in-between. There is no middle ground, there is no mediocre."

"I'm humble enough to realize I don't have all the strengths. Why pretend and drag myself through the mud when I can partner with somebody?"

"Hard work will outperform talent every day of the week."

"Money allows you to do the things you dream about. The dream is not the money."

Join host Meagan Murphy for a full-circle moment with Dr. Leslie Wells, founder of Faith Consciousness, in the premiere of The Unveiled. Explore the third era of human evolution—shifting from polarity's victimhood and Christ consciousness's manifestation to faith consciousness: a frequency of trust, oneness, and effortless co-creation with the divine. Dr. Wells unpacks Einstein's energetic reality, where we're vessels directing life's steering wheel through inspiration, not egoic goals—motto: "Life happens through me.

"Key insights: Evolve beyond lack-driven manifesting; embrace betrayal as a rite to vertical trust; turn into suffering like steering through ice for traction; quantum entanglement proves no objective reality—change your lens, collapse heaven on earth. From Garden of Eden's dive into duality to 2012's grace era, learn to feel emotions fully, surrender to divine logic ("wisdom of God as foolishness to man"), and magnetize miracles pre-thought.

Ignite your spiritual awakening in this mind-bending episode of The Unveiled, where host Meagan Murphy unleashes Pastor John Helms—creator of "Not From the Pulpit"—on taboo truths blending ancient biblical faith with modern AI chaos. Dive into the Watchers: Fallen angels breeding giants, bound in darkness per Jude, now whispering tech "magic" like weapons and spells—echoing Genesis 6's flood trigger. Why 2025's surge? As-in-Noah-days deception amps up, but Helms' "verbs of faith" (Hebrews 11) flips it: True belief demands action—Abel offered, Noah built, Abraham obeyed—not passive "ideas of faith."

AI as mirror or trap? Helms' discernment triad (biblical/extra-biblical/unbiblical) + Holy Spirit conscience cuts through: Feel emotions, test spirits, yield to God's "easy yoke" over devil's ashes-of-fame grind. No surface religion—raw bridge to jaded souls: Spirituality's real, but anchor in Jesus amid ego's resistance.

In this episode of The Unveiled, host Meagan Murphy welcomes David Oates, founder of Reverse Speech, from Australia. Discover how everyday speech hides unconscious messages when played backward—revealing truths, premonitions, and spiritual guidance that bypass the conscious mind. From Meagan's personal transformation via sessions that affirmed her path to motherhood, to chilling reversals like Prince Andrew's "Jeff had to get murdered" on Jeffrey Epstein and JFK's premonition "head is hitting the car," this episode uncovers the bi-level nature of language.

Explore 12 reversal types: congruent truths, incongruent lies, metaphors like "wolf fallen in the lake" for emotional drowning, and spirit whispers like "you're frightened, lean on me." David shares his 42-year journey—born from a faulty Walkman in 1983—amid bans, house fires, and personal losses, including his son's death, yet driven by a divine compulsion for global truth.

Produced by The NXC Podcast Network, tune in for insights on congruence, manifestation through words ("In the beginning was the Word"), and classes at reversespeech.com. Resources: Analyst training, therapeutic sessions, and David's 20 books on Amazon. Ready to hear your inner voice?
