This year, news of impending promotion came as a surprise for some employees: just a month ago, State laid them off. At least 10 people have been promoted since receiving layoff notices in July, according to the American Foreign Service Association, which represents the workers. They work in areas throughout the department: one was a deputy assistant secretary in the Energy Resources Bureau; others were in European and Eurasian Affairs, Economic and Business Affairs, International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, and other areas.The laid-off employees remain on the payroll; they…

When I started AmmoSquared 10 years ago, I had no idea how big it could get. I was just putting an idea into the world like I had done nearly a dozen times before, all without success. This is my story of grit, tough choices, and a little bit of luck. Today, there is no doubt that AmmoSquared has found its niche: this year, we’ll reach $22m in revenue from 100k+ customers. We have 20 million rounds of ammunition stored across two climate-controlled warehouses, one in Idaho, the other in Texas. It is no longer just me, Danielle, and our three…

I’m your host, Tony Peterson, and today’s episode is all about how we think about our dogs and our dog breeds and why that can get us into trouble. Look, humans are goofy in a lot of ways. For example, my Instagram feed is full of a few things. Fish just clabbering topwater lures all over the world, dogs while doing dog stuff, which should come as no surprise to anyone, And a hell of a lot of people getting injured while attempting to rope, swing over lakes, or parkour…
