The days are shorter. There is less sunlight. The hectic season of Holidays is before us. The hustle, the bustle, the stress. Running on little sleep to get it all done. The Broads are calling for a time out to remind us that our bodies need attention, especially this time of year. Time for a self check on the status of what you are doing to armor up your body's defenses. We share some of our favorite immune builders, supplements, herbs and remedies as well as a gut check conversation. Time to love ourselves and the miraculous bodies we have been given. This was a fun episode chalk full of a call to arms for our health. Tune in and start addressing yourself as a Doctor for yourself.

In this episode we are discussing data center. aka: cloud storage and now AI training centers. While we are no experts on the matter, we present here a primer of some facts and a whole lot of thoughts on the realities of these centers. I think most humans are out living their lives, realizing and talking about the effects of AI and data collection yet these data centers are rather stealthy in their size, scope and how they are buying up the land to house them. This is a good conversation starter about something that is moving into so many communities and begs the question how sustainable are they actually? How will these communities be affected? How many jobs will they actual bring? The price, of as Sam Altman puts it in, "the demand we have for speed" is getting really expensive; in all ways.

Welcome to a Halloween chat with the Two Broads and Rae Hobbs, the podcast's third broad behind the scenes. Rae, who loves Halloween, joined us for a hang and we ended up with quite the interesting conversation regarding Halloween. Why so many love it, the history of it, the rise in the partaking in it, and much more. We all had to ponder about how the news and the things going on in the world have perhaps out hit the creepy meter of Halloween out of the park. Join us for this trick or treat episode of the Two Broad Casters.

MAHA: Making America Healthy Again. Considering the fast paced trajectory towards more and more chronic disease starting younger and younger, a fact filled need for our attention turned towards health could be the single most important thing to turn our attention to. However, is this just another distraction to make it seem like there is actual caring going on or are there some who do care, and if so, who and what can they acturally do? The broads get into the need for a movement like this but also the reality and of course needs and reality, questions and answers, problems and solutions are rarely squared up. Join us as we share our thoughts on the matter and we would love to hear yours as well. I like the acronym MYHA: Make yourself healthy again. It is to be seen if the HA stands for healthy again or HA as in, joke is on you. Again.

Father and now activist, John DeMay, joined us on this episode sharing the story of the tragic loss of his son, Jordan. A moving and maddening story to be sure but chock full of the hope that more and more parents level up their game in decisions regarding screens. We give the whole world to our young ones when most days its too much for anyone to navigate. Please listen and share this podcast that may save a life. Online exploitation and crimes are so much more rampant than anyone wants to admit and what's worse? Kids younger and younger are engaging with the world wide web through games, tablets and smart phones. This episode is dedicated to all the families who have lost a child and this serves as a call to action.

Sarah and I, like so many over the past week were jolted by the murder of Charlie Kirk. We both fell on the same opinion of Charlie Kirk, with no prior discussion regarding him, and that was, we were not aligned with several things Charlie Kirk discussed. We both also acknowledged that he was doing something very important regardless of our opinion about the things we did not agree with and there was plenty he spoke about that we did agree with. Charlie was a disrupter in the best possible way, which was bringing courage to address conversations in atmosphere's he knew were antithecal to his stances. He reignited the spirit of public discourse. He returned to college campus's a big piece of what historically what the college experience was built on and what made going turn out bigger thinkers for being around the atmosphere of the debate of human ideas. In this day in age colleges seem to be completely out of touch with what the college experience of old even was and that was for minds and perspectives of all hats to assemble intentional contentuous conversation for the reason of understanding, learning and personal growth. We bring this topic to the table today in honor of someone we feel deserves respect for his love of debate and his courage for truly showing us what has been censored, restricted, stuffed down and making it seem like todays ways are normal. It is not. RIP Charlile. What have we become?

The fast speed train to weight loss is nothing new but in light of the newest fat burniers on the block; GLP-1's, are the stakes getting higher and higher? These shots, like any predecessor of old may work so long as they are used, but what about when you quit? Did the root problem get resolved or are you back to too many pounds with the extra weight of health problems? The broads discuss how we seem to have a very strange attitude towards our bodies. In fact they are organic super machines of incredible design. They are built to repair themselves given the right environment but somehow we have lost sight that we hold the power to adjust things that give them the environment suitable to fight off attacks within, to heal and to cure themselves. We instead view them as meatbags we can abuse without worry until things go wrong, then while we reach for the quick fixes are upset that systems are starting to wear out. We have in fact the absolute opposite mindset about our bodies and we should be in awe and gratitude for them.

A great conversation with artist Brenan Sharp that weaved into many stories of how artists and authentic art and ideas are the counter balance to all of the fake and AI generated trickery. We discussed how art can bring us together. We discussed how the desire for authenticity will only increase and how using art to build community will become more sought after. We discussed how at the end of it all, stories are what matter most and are expressed through all of the humanity mediums. It was a most delightful, fun, inspiring and optimistic hang with a friend. We were one broad short on this podcast as Sarah was not able to make the conversation and she was missed but, hey, life happens as we all know and we pivot.

All dangerous and very toxic personalities aside, how can something like declaring no contact with parents become a trend? It seems like it is rather becoming a thing in cases devoid of abuse, addictions or mental illness. In a time of severe isolation, lack of community and strained relationships it seems so very dark to make a hard line towards ones parents. Are healthy boundaries pushing over the line for sake of ones mental health or is protection of ones mental health becoming synonymous with one creating a false perfect bubble where if you don't agree with or dislike something about someone the answer becomes to ghost them; even your parents? This to the Two Broads feels most likely yet another chink in the armor of families which of course is how societies are destroyed.

Tune in as the Two Broads have their friend, Stacy Dam of Set Your Sites back for the third time! We love following the journey of Set Your Sites so we love to invite her back whenever she has new and exciting updates. We use Stacy's journey as a great reminder that a frustration over something can lead to declaring a problem and then deciding to idea a solution into existence. Her story is the essence of the entrepreneurial spirit and it makes it that much more exciting to realize she stands alone in the arena of her chosen problem solving and clearly her idea and the timing lined up. Listen in for tips on finding funding, learning to bring in others on your idea, taking your idea seriously, business incubators, parenting, outdoor life, family life and more.
