In the first half, former news director, businessman, and long-wave economist George Ure discussed topics such as longevity medicine, the curse of planned obsolescence, and what's shaping social behavior. His exploration into longevity began with researching various protocols over the last decade (view related links), leading him to adopt several lifestyle changes that seem to be yielding positive results. He emphasized the importance of holistic approaches to health, stating that conventional medicine often overlooks critical lifestyle adjustments, like adding new goals and activities to one's life. The role of supplements, including glycine, NAC, and berberine, may help manage aging markers, and a promising study from Baylor College of Medicine showed how certain compounds could potentially "dial back 16 different hallmarks of aging," he reported.
On the economic front, Ure criticized society's tendency toward disposability, as illustrated in his book "The 100-Year Toaster." He lamented, "We've made the business model in finance all about growth," suggesting that this leads to a cycle of producing short-lived products. He advocated for a shift in values, urging listeners to consider consuming with purpose rather than succumbing to societal pressures to keep up with trends. He also noted the challenges that pension funds face due to shifts in real estate investments, particularly as crime rates rise and COVID-19 alters office usage. "Pension companies, which own many of the big malls and virtually all of the big office buildings, have some serious problems," he explained. Due to the high price of new automobiles, he posited that in the future, shared ownership of self-driving cars may become a necessity as individual ownership becomes financially unfeasible.

In the latter half, psychic medium and Reiki master Amy O'Pry shared accounts of walking souls to the light, communicating with the spirit realm, and being clairvoyant. She described intuition as "an internal guidance that is here to help in any way possible," and advised against rationalizing intuitive messages, as that can dilute their spiritual nature. "We all have untapped abilities," she continued, "and the more we lean in, the more we'll discover" how to truly live an authentic life. O'Pry touched on the significance of protecting oneself when conducting spiritual practices, mentioning that she wraps "a protective egg" around her auric or energy field, and sets her intention.
Often acting as a bridge for spirits she revealed that many spirits hesitate to move on due to fear or unresolved issues. She described her work as a form of counseling for both humans and spirits, stating, "Spirits absolutely heal on the other side, and ascension is real for not just humans, but also the spiritual realm." Ascension, in this context, refers to the spiritual growth and progression of a soul. She detailed her experiences walking spirits to the light, including those affected by trauma or tragedy, such as victims of the Maui fire. O'Pry illustrated the process with a story about a spirit reluctant to leave his boat, fearing his duties on Earth would be neglected. "A lot of times, spirit guides are actually your loved ones," she added, highlighting the ongoing connection between the living and the spirit world. During the last hour, she gave readings for callers.
