We recorded this episode before what took place on October 7th, 2023, which was a horrific massacre of killings of innocent Israelis lives lost in Gaza from a Hamas Terrorist attack. We are praying for Israel and for the innocent hostages to be released from Hamas back to Israel and their families. We are devastated by the acts of violence that Hamas, a sole terrorist group, set out to kill innocent Israeli civilians, leaving 1,400 of Israelis dead and over thousands injured. The reason the Engineer is so important today is because it explains the terrorist attacks that have been happening since the beginning of time, since the 1990s in Israel where the suicide bombers would bomb buses and anywhere there were Israelis. The movie dives in to the history between the Israeli-Palestenian conflict that has been taken place for decadeds, since the beginning of time. It will put history in to perspective on the war on terror and what it means to be an Israeli and Jewish person living in Israel. Danny shares his opinion on wanting peace in the Middle East, especially in Israel, his homeland and the solutions we need to come up with to attain that world peace and prevent further anti-semitism from happening.

Madison Malloy went from being a Wall Street analyst to a stand-up comic and now hosts her own self-help/business podcast Next to Madison, creates and produces television shows, and is an entrepreneur and investor.With everything that is going on in the world, Madison Malloy says it best, "It's time to lighen the F'ck up to make the world a better place!" Everything is so serious these days, says Malloy, that it inspired her to write a self help book with a twist of humor to help others let go and live life in a silly and honest way. It's a refreshing take on what's going on in the world and Malloy shares tips in her book on how to cope mentally with what obstacles we face. Time to Lighten the F*ck Up is a humorous and honest take on self-help written by comedian, author, producer, and podcaster Madison Malloy. The first-time author wrote the book after overcoming years of depression and anxiety, induced by a high stress job on Wall Street and not being realistic about her goals and dreams. Fears about money, career, and the opinions of others prompted a “scarcity mindset,” she says, and self-help books and podcasts provided no help. It wasn’t until she summoned the courage to quit her finance career and pursue her dreams did her life begin to change. All it took was laughter.That was when Malloy had what she calls her “A-HA moment.” She woke one morning and realized, “Maybe I just need to lighten the f*ck up.” Now she’s sharing that epiphany in, Time to Lighten the F*ck Up, an insightful, authentic, and somewhat naughty chronicle of her late-in-life awakening. Her insights and anecdotes, doused with edgy and earthy humor, are relatable, practical, and hysterical, and a quick read that will leave readers laughing.Throughout Time to Lighten the F*ck Up, Malloy she shares real-life ways to *stop chasing money *create financial freedom *conquer fear *embrace gratitude and faith *change your perceptions *manifest your best reality *kick your confidence up a notch *always be ready to have your best day *escape tunnel-vision *improve your sense of humor *lay off the judgments AND *chill out about the crap that doesn’t matter! Launching with Beyond Publishing on October 18th “TIME TO LIGHTEN THE F*CK UP – A Self-Help Guide with a Side of Humor” is a satirical look at life through a different lens of maturity and realism and a reminder to not take ourselves too seriously.Now she’s sharing that epiphany in, Time to Lighten the F*ck Up, an insightful, authentic, and somewhat naughty chronicle of her late-in-life awakening. Her insights and anecdotes, doused with edgy and earthy humor, are relatable, practical, and hysterical, and a quick read that will leave readers laughing.Malloy's book is hot amongst the celebrities in Hollywood who are fan favorites and can't get enough of the witty self help book, which is number one on the Amazon charts! Celebrities include: Kathy Hilton, Paula Abdul, Donny Wahlbergand more! Malloy is not only brilliant but has a big heart too.
