Matt Hines opens season three of Hines On Air from Atlanta and interviews Evan Turk, CEO of American Rights Alliance and founding attorney at Turk Law Group, about asset protection, trusts/estates, First Amendment work, and pragmatic family-law strategies. Turk explains how transferring assets to a third party can be a fraudulent conveyance, how premarital assets can become marital through commingling or adding a spouse to accounts, and how prenups and postnups can structure future or existing asset distribution while reducing costly litigation. The conversation shifts to Turk’s involvement as local counsel connected through Peter Ticktin and Alina Habba on matters including a lawsuit against Hillary Clinton related to the “Russia hoax” that was dismissed and sanctioned, and work tied to preserving records and disputes around January 6, including claims about unequal treatment and political agendas.

Season three of Hines On Air opens with host Matt Hines interviewing Al Hobi, an Iranian human rights activist based in Paris with the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), which she describes as a parliament-in-exile formed in 1981 to overthrow Iran’s regime and establish an interim government leading to a democratic republic. Hobi outlines Iran’s recent history from British-installed monarchy, the 1953 CIA/MI6 coup against Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh after oil nationalization, and the Shah’s dictatorship, to the 1979 revolution and Khomeini’s rise, which she says was promoted by Western powers during the Cold War. She describes escalating repression under the Islamic Republic, including compulsory veiling, formation of the IRGC, mass executions, and attacks on Kurds, and argues the solution is “neither war nor appeasement” but supporting Iranians’ organized resistance to end the regime. 00:00 Season Three Kickoff 00:18 Meet Al Hobi 01:32 Why This Perspective 02:11 Based in Paris NCRI 02:27 NCRI Mission Explained 03:16 Iran Modern History Primer 05:05 1953 Coup and Oil 05:39 Shah Rule and SAVAK 10:38 Instagram Myth of Pre-1979 13:44 How Khomeini Rose 16:57 Shah Reality Check 23:11 Khomeini Early Crackdown 26:10 Women Resist Compulsory Veil 26:43 Street Enforcers Rise 28:35 Early Freedoms Crushed 30:35 Hostage Crisis and War 31:59 Cultural Revolution Clampdown 33:07 Kurdish Massacre Explained 35:45 Sharia Punishments and Stoning 37:03 June 1981 Reign of Terror 38:53 IRGC Power and Executions 40:47 Neither War Nor Appeasement 44:53 Inside Iran During Blackout 48:51 Why Regime Won’t Reform 51:43 Closing Thoughts and Call   Sponsor by Hines Law https://hineslaw.org/ Sponsory by Bravos Leadership https://bravosleadership.com/#

In this Season 3 episode of Hines On Air, host Matt Hines interviews Philip Blackett, a coach and author of over 25 books who helps professionals navigate life after 40 with clarity, strength, and purpose.

He explains common challenges for high performers in midlife, including rising work demands, aging bodies, family responsibilities, and changing technology, and emphasizes honest trade-offs between career and relationships.

Season three of Hines On Air (hosted by Matt Hines in Atlanta) features criminal defense attorney Dominic Best, who previously worked as a prosecutor, discussing how difficult it is for defendants to receive fair trials. Best estimates only a 25% chance of a fair trial, arguing juries often presume guilt, judges can be biased due to close working relationships with prosecutors and prior prosecutorial backgrounds, and political pressures of elected judges. They cover how charging decisions and plea bargaining incentives lead to overcharging, affecting bond and case outcomes, and how defense lawyers must humanize clients and manage courtroom dynamics through rapport, timing, and proactive communication. The conversation references the Young Thug judge controversy, sentencing mindset around confinement, and examples distinguishing statutory rape from rape and aggravated assault charging discretion, closing with a call for viewer discussion on criminal justice reform. 00:00 Season Three Kickoff 00:21 Meet Dominic Best 01:11 Plea Deals to Trial 02:28 Why Juries Assume Guilt 03:43 Judges and Prosecutors 05:26 Bias From the Bench 07:47 Young Thug Trial Fallout 09:18 Elected Judges Politics 12:14 Sentencing and Mandatory Minimums 13:54 Rape vs Statutory Rape 15:12 Aggravated Assault Setup 15:35 Cop Charges Maxed Out 16:32 Prosecutor Leverage Tactics 18:20 Bond Stakes and Humanizing 19:57 Reading the Room Skills 22:31 Law Second Rapport First 24:30 Courtroom Power Dynamics 24:49 P Diddy Case Speculation 26:59 Judges Making Examples 28:50 Prepared Judges and Trials 30:33 Wrap Up and Takeaways   Sponsor by Hines Law https://hineslaw.org/ Sponsor by Bravos Leadership https://bravosleadership.com/#

Srodoski, a former CEO/COO with 20 years of experience and author of Lead With Empathy, Build Kick Ass Teams, and The Small Business Playbook, explains the common pattern he sees among executives: despite outward confidence, many privately admit they don’t know what they’re doing and lack a playbook, making leadership lonely. He describes his Level Up Your Leadership training as a step-by-step framework focused on structure, vision, strategy, and accountable execution to stop “rudderless” decision-making that causes team whiplash, emphasizing that vision can be short-term (weekly or monthly) with KPIs and proactive incentives. They also discuss the role of coaching, luck versus preparation in business, Pete’s background across multiple industries, and self-publishing versus traditional publishing economics and distribution.   00:00 Season Three Welcome 00:21 Meet Pete Srodoski 01:50 No One Has a Playbook 03:45 CEO Ego and Loneliness 05:46 Why Startups Feel Hard 07:36 Luck and Preparedness 08:51 Structure Vision Strategy 13:40 Stress and Flying Blind 14:41 Short Term Vision Systems 16:23 Targets Incentives KPIs 17:16 Leading Metrics Mindset 18:55 Knowing What Good Looks Like 19:27 Why Coaches Matter 21:03 Ego Costs Real Money 21:47 Thinking Bigger Targets 22:47 Airplane View Strategy 24:22 Small Business Playbook 26:59 CEO COO Background 28:58 Failures And Scar Tissue 32:39 Coaching Model In Practice 34:52 Where To Find Pete 35:37 Self Publishing Economics 39:27 Final Wrap And Callouts Sponsor by Hines Law https://hineslaw.org/ Sponsor by Bravos Leadership https://bravosleadership.com/#

In this Season 3 episode of Hines On Air, host Matt Hines interviews business consultant Micah Logan about why building and growing companies stays difficult even for experienced entrepreneurs and how adapting, including to AI, requires constant learning. Logan predicts AI will be a net positive overall, replacing some jobs but enhancing and creating others, while arguing many industries will still demand a human touch. He shares a turnaround story from a small insurance agency stuck at six figures due to lack of goals, scattered software, weak leadership, and the owner focusing on operator tasks instead of growth. Logan explains using simplified KPI tracking, reducing the tech stack, and a “zero-based thinking” rebuild of processes, emphasizing ruthless implementation within 24–48 hours; the turnaround took about eight months and reduced staff from five to three. He closes with core advice: do ordinary things consistently better than others, and prioritize speed and action over perfection.   00:00 Season Three Welcome 01:06 Why Business Stays Hard 02:14 AI and Staying Relevant 03:55 AI Jobs and Human Touch 07:45 Business Turnaround War Story 10:18 Leadership Apathy and Systems 13:50 Be Extraordinary at Basics 15:33 Simplify and Track Numbers 21:16 Zero Based Thinking Framework 24:40 Turnaround Timeline and Costs 26:59 Two Principles for Entrepreneurs 30:06 Closing Thoughts and Call to Action   Soponsor by Hines Law https://hineslaw.org/ Sponsor by Bravos Leadership https://bravosleadership.com/#

In this Season 3 episode of Hines On Air, host Matt Hines (Atlanta, GA) talks with Michael Ulin, co-founder and CEO of Tenki AI, about the rapid growth of AI startup companies and how AI is evolving from earlier “discriminative” models to today’s generative AI systems. Ulin shares his background on the founding team at Zesty AI, which builds climate risk models for property insurance, and explains why insurers are increasingly forced to model “secondary perils” like wildfire, hail, and wind risk as losses rise due to more severe events, building in riskier locations, and more expensive homes. He describes how Zesty’s AI wildfire underwriting models scored property-level risk using factors such as vegetation density, slope/elevation, and roof type, and notes Zesty raised over $78M and continues operating under other founders. Ulin explains Tenki AI (a Japanese term meaning “weather,” also “divine will” or “turning point”) and its focus on AI-driven probabilistic forecasting, starting with prediction markets and covering areas such as economics, politics, and sports, with weather as a future application. He discusses how forecasting has historically required specialized expertise, but can now be run quickly using AI and multi-agent research systems drawing from public internet data (with plans to incorporate private organizational data later). He shares examples of forecasts, including a prediction about Maduro being gone by March 2026 that Tenki rated at 55% versus prediction markets at around 30%, and work on the likelihood of cannabis rescheduling, emphasizing regulatory timing and lobbying pressures. Ulin reports Tenki is three months old and currently achieving about 59% accuracy on higher-uncertainty questions compared to an expected 53% based on market pricing. The episode closes with how to find Tenki at trytenki.ai and contact Ulin via X/Twitter or LinkedIn, plus a brief discussion of the emotional “rollercoaster” of startup building. 00:00 Welcome Back: Season 3 Kickoff + What to Expect 00:21 Meet Michael Ulin: AI Startup Builder & 10Key AI CEO 01:20 Climate Risk Reality Check: Insurance, Mortgages & Coastal Property 05:23 Inside Zesty AI: How Wildfire Risk Models Actually Work 06:58 Why ‘Secondary Perils’ Became a Big Deal for Insurers 08:07 What ‘Tenki’ Means + The Big Idea: AI-Powered Forecasting 11:43 Forecasting vs Stock-Picking: What AI Can (and Can’t) Predict 13:21 From Zesty to Paxton to Tenki: Building Companies in the AI Shifts 15:03 How Tenki Forecasts on Demand: Probabilities, Models, and Use Cases 17:56 Real Forecast Examples: Maduro, Elections, and Cannabis Rescheduling 24:45 Accuracy, Methodology, and the Data Pipeline (Public Now, Private Next) 29:09 Wrap-Up: How to Find Tenki + The Startup Rollercoaster Sponsor By Hines Law https://hineslaw.org/ Sponsor By Bravos Leadership https://bravosleadership.com/#
