 [DWU] The Silver Lining of Endangered Species Lists | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 501

Is hearing about a new "endangered species" a bad thing? Not totally. This is a look at the silver lining—the protections in place from the Endangered Species Act.

 [DWU] Trump Loves Tariffs—The World Doesn't | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 492

Trump: "Tariffs are the greatest!" Economists: "No they aren't!" We have a history lesson in the making. When one part tries to wrangle a "good deal" for itself, inevitably there's going to be a global effect. Today, a bit of the latest with Trump's tariffs. -- Sources: https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/2018/7/24/17607182/trump-tariffs-trade-war-tax-china https://www.axios.com/trump-administration-temporary-relief-farmers-tariffs-08ace8cd-9431-431e-8f99-8afc5b9b4846.html https://www.albany.edu/~aj4575/LectureNotes/Lecture21.pdf

 [DWU] Why Tesla Won't Go Bankrupt | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 774

Today, we break down why Tesla won't go bankrupt. We discuss reality vs. numbers, and how all future trends point towards a massive autonomous and electric transition that Tesla is positioned perfectly for. Numbers only tell part of the story. Reality isn't always distillable down to financial trends. Let's talk about that. :) -- Sources: Why isn't Tesla broke? https://youtu.be/BHS0H5AwGjU http://fortune.com/2017/03/23/tesla-model-3-safety/

 Burgiel: How to Know Your Soul Mission's Magnitude | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 1995

 [DWU] Slavery in 2018—Yes, Even in the U.S. | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 745

Why Freedom and Opportunity Matters Today's Episode of the Daily Wake Up comes face to face with one of the toughest topics to be with on the planet right now: modern slavery. 40.3 million people around the world live in a form of slavery, including 400,000 in the United States. We're going in, but not without finding gratitude, and resolution in the macro-context. -- Sources: https://www.axios.com/modern-slavery-statistics-global-forced-labor-d0140cdb-fed3-4539-965c-aeb834391437.html https://www.globalslaveryindex.org/2018/findings/country-studies/united-states/ https://www.fairtradecertified.org/why-fair-trade/our-global-model

 [DWU] Obama Speaks Up About Trump's Lies | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 734

Trump has been backpedaling on his Russia comments, and Obama is speaking up after a long 18 months of mostly silence. Headlines vs. Reality. In a world where misinformation and headline bias is driving so much, there's an opportunity to either own that an issue is ours to be involved with and get really informed, or to back away and acknowledge that this issue isn't for us. -- Sources: https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/policy-and-politics/2018/7/17/17582842/trump-putin-russia-2016-election-lie https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/07/obama-breaks-his-silence/565421/?utm_source=feed https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/07/18/when-it-comes-politics-people-are-mad-online-like-never-before/

 [DWU] A Climate Change Solution You've Probably Never Heard | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 1251

A Climate Change Solution You Probably Haven't Heard Of: Today, we're reading an article from the Ecologist that turns attention to the 72% of the planet we think about the least when it comes to climate change—ocean life. The solutions are out there. All we need is to continue to press into a global context and curate solutions to maximize our collective effort. -- Sources: https://theecologist.org/2018/may/03/can-we-remove-trillion-tons-carbon-atmosphere https://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/green-science/iron-sulfate-slow-global-warming.htm

 [DWU] What's Up with Russia and Trump? | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 576

Putin, Russia, and Monday's Summit. What happened? Trump said a lot of nice things about Putin and entirely ignored the FBI investigation on Russian interference in the election. There seems to be something under the surface here with Trump speaking so highly of Russia in particular and letting so much slide under the radar. If there is, all eyes are there right now and this awareness is exactly what uncovers the truth. -- Sources: http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/07/trump-betrays-his-country-for-russia-in-plain-sight.html

 [DWU] San Francisco is 80% Waste-Free | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 555

On Today's Episode of the Daily Wake Up, we're highlighting San Francisco's hyper forward-looking waste policies. San Francisco hopes to be waste free by 2020 (meaning everything is recycled, composted, reused, or repurposed) and they're already 80% there, compared to less than 40% by the average American city.

Burgiel unpacks two big forms of creation: - Good strategies get results—get a coach and do what they’re doing to get their results. - My thoughts create my reality—edit myself and my beliefs until I manifest my dreams. …and offers a third alternative.

Kylie Jenner is Nearly a Billionaire Did you know? Kylie Jenner has 7 full-time employees and 5 part time employees, owns 100% of her company and is worth $900 million, after just 3 years in business. Things are changing.

 [DWU] Why is Roe v. Wade (Abortion) in the News? | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 685

What is Roe v. Wade? Brett Kavanaugh will be sitting on the Supreme Court this fall, taking the place of Anthony Kennedy. This is Trump's second appointed Justice to the court since his time in office, and with Kennedy being replaced by Kavanaugh, the highest court of the US is getting more politically conservative. During this time, some are concerned with one case in particular: Roe v. Wade. Here's some context, so you know what all this means as you navigate the global scene in the coming weeks.
