The Chris Voss Show Podcast – The Oswalds: An Untold Account of Marina and Lee by Paul R. Gregory
The Oswalds: An Untold Account of Marina and Lee by Paul R. Gregory
The closest friend of Lee Harvey Oswald and his Soviet wife Marina upon the couple’s arrival in Texas breaks a sixty-year silence with a riveting story of his time with JFK’s assassin and his candid assessment of the murder that marked a turning point in our country’s history.
Merely two hours after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, television cameras captured police escorting a suspect into Dallas police headquarters. Meanwhile at the University of Oklahoma, watching the coverage in the student center, Paul Gregory scanned the figure in dark trousers and a white, V-neck tee shirt and saw the bruised and battered face of Lee Harvey Oswald. Shocked, Gregory said, “I know that man.” In fact, he knew Oswald and his wife Marina better than almost anyone in America.
After sixty years, Paul Gregory finally tells everything he knows about the Oswalds and how he watched the soul of a killer take shape.
Identified by the FBI as a “known associate of LHO,” Gregory soon faced interrogations by the Secret Service. Later he would testify before the Warren Commission. Here, in The Oswalds, he offers the intimate details of his time spent with Lee and wife Marina in their run-down duplex on Mercedes Street in Fort Worth, Texas, and his admission into the inner world of a young marriage before candidly assessing the murder that marked a turning point in our country’s history. His riveting recollection includes memories both casual and deadly serious, such as the dinner at his parents’ house introducing Marina to the “Dallas Russians,” a front-yard incident of spousal abuse, and a further rift in the marriage when he exposed to Marina that Oswald was not the dashing, radical intellectual whose Historic Diary would be a publishing sensation. And Gregory also gives a fascinating account of his father’s role as an eyewitness to history, serving as Marina’s translator and confidante in the first four days after the assassination.
As a scholar and skilled researcher, Gregory debunks the vast array of assassination conspiracy theories by demonstrating that Lee Harvey Oswald did it and did it alone—that the Oswald he once called a friend had the motive, the intelligence, and the means to commit one of the most shocking crimes in American history.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Always Adventure: Five Powerful Practices for Living a Happier More Fulfilling Life by Andy Way
Always Adventure: Five Powerful Practices for Living a Happier More Fulfilling Life by Andy Way
THE ART OF LIVING ADVENTUROUSLY
Living Adventurously is about discovering how to change the way we experience life so that every day is its own adventure full of insights and opportunities. It can be easy to feel overwhelmed, unhappy, or unfulfilled. Sometimes, our problems can be as simple as wanting more out of life but not knowing how. Living Adventurously is made up of five practices that deliver distinct outcomes that, when practiced, lead to living a happier, more fulfilling life.
Andy Way openly shares true stories from his life and the lessons he learned along the way. Having struggled as a father of a teen dealing with self-harm, substance abuse, an eating disorder, and severe anxiety and depression, there was a time when finding joy in life seemed impossible. Refusing to give up, Andy stayed committed to his son and to giving purpose to the pain of his past so others do not have to go through the same. As a passionate father, he now shares this story and what he learned from such an intense challenge to help others live happier, more fulfilling lives. Through years of reflection, practice, and research, Andy crafted a way to live with more peace, confidence, trust, connection, and fulfillment.
In Always Adventure, Andy draws the map that is the Living Adventurously Method. Using five simple practices, Andy shows us how we can allow our lives to change by experiencing more gratitude, getting uncomfortable, exploring the unknown, and seeking excitement so that we can start living adventurously too. While life may not turn out the way we thought it would, it can also turn out even better than we ever imagined…if we let it.

Now the newest improved version is out and we love the better build. I have an injured back from years ago and could not sleep on most mattresses comfortably. The mattress completely forms to my body and I’ve slept the best I have in years. I love the cover that heats and cools. It is so nice to slip into a nice warm bed or a cool one in summer. The AI tracks your sleep patterns and adjusts the temperature during your sleep to ensure you stay as deep as possible. Very smart tech. I cant recommend the bed enough. It is worth every penny and more. I sleep a full 8 hour night now more than ever and feel rested.

Per their site: “Our Story
In 2014 former cross country and track All-American Stephen Zieminski noticed many supplements included numerous ingredients of little nutritional value. People trying to live a healthy lifestyle aided by supplements were being marketed health, but sold something else.
That same year Zieminski founded Naked Nutrition, starting with five single ingredient supplements, including the best-selling Naked Whey from grass-fed Northern California and Idaho cows and Naked Pea from raw yellow peas grown in the USA and Canada. No artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners and no mixing agents. You control the flavor and your nutrition by what you choose to add to Naked proteins and supplements.”

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – A Billion Years: My Escape From a Life in the Highest Ranks of Scientology by Mike Rinder
A Billion Years: My Escape From a Life in the Highest Ranks of Scientology by Mike Rinder
One of the highest-ranking defectors from Scientology exposes the secret inner workings of the powerful organization in this remarkable memoir.
Mike Rinder’s parents began taking him to their local Scientology center when he was five years old. After high school, he signed a billion-year contract and was admitted into Scientology’s elite inner circle, the Sea Organization. Brought to founder L. Ron Hubbard’s yacht and promised training in Hubbard’s most advanced techniques, Mike was instead put to work swabbing the decks.
Still, Rinder bought into the doctrine that his personal comfort was secondary to the higher purpose of Hubbard’s world-saving mission, swiftly rising through the ranks. In the 1980s, Rinder became Scientology’s international spokesperson and the head of its powerful Office of Special Affairs. He helped negotiate Scientology’s pivotal tax exemption from the IRS and engaged with the organization’s prominent celebrity members, including Tom Cruise, Lisa Marie Presley, and John Travolta.
Yet Rinder couldn’t shake a nagging feeling that something was amiss—Hubbard’s promises remained unfulfilled at his death, and his successor, David Miscavige, was a ruthless and vindictive man who did not hesitate to confine many top Scientologists, Mike among them, to a makeshift prison known as the Hole.
In 2007, at the age of fifty-two, Rinder finally escaped Scientology. Overnight, he became one of the organization’s biggest public enemies. He was followed, hacked, spied on, and tracked. But he refused to be intimidated and today helps people break free of Scientology.
In A Billion Years, the dark, dystopian truth about Scientology is revealed as never before. Rinder offers insights into the religion that only someone of his former high rank could provide and tells a harrowing but fulfilling story of personal resilience.
