New Episodes Released Every Other Week
July 29, 2019 - New York, NY - If I Ruled The World Podcast has released their 47th episode, featuring musician Lars Frederiksen (Rancid, The Old Firm Casuals). In it, Frederiksen shares never-before-heard stories about recording, his connection with the east-coast and NYHC, and how it affected his perspective and songwriting in all of his bands. He also touches on Rancid's upcoming show with Misfits at Madison Square Garden on 10/19. Stream the full episode here: https://apple.co/2SPwCO2. New episodes of If I Ruled The World are released every other week. For more information on If I Ruled The World, please visit: http://ifiruledtheworldpodcast.com/.
If I Ruled the World is a New York-based podcast created by musicians, George Reynolds (Mind Over Matter / Day in the Life) and Sam Hoyos (Playing Dead / Carlos Danger). In each bi-weekly episode, the hosts share an insightful conversation with one artist, exploring the philosophy behind how and why they do what they do.
"No one is just one thing," Reynolds explains. "I think we often get a picture about a person based on the largest, most obvious thing they've ever said or done." He continues, "On a long form podcast such as ours, we get to address that and then get into the minutiae of what it is that the guest has done or is trying to do. It's our job to draw it out of them."
Similarly, Hoyos says, "Anyone we interview is already someone George or I really want to talk to. Whether it be a director, a musician or an artist, I love to know what drives them and influences them to do what they do."
Since releasing their first episode featuring Daryl Palumbo (Glassjaw, Head Automatica, Color Film) in 2017, the podcast has gone on to host major names such as H.R. (Bad Brains), Jessica Pimentel (Orange is the New Black, Alekhine's Gun), Vinnie Caruana (The Movielife, I Am the Avalanche), Adam Lazzara, John Nolan and Mark O'Connell (Taking Back Sunday), and Shawna Potter (War On Women), to name just a few.
The latest episode of If I Ruled The World, featuring Lars Frederiksen, is streaming now via Soundcloud, iTunes, Stitcher and more.

Banking Made Easy – with Smartphones
Today, wireless technology allows consumers to do so many things that would have been unheard of just 15 years ago. Consumers can easily get in contact with anyone in the world at a moment’s notice; post amazing pictures to social media; stream unlimited TV and music – and even do all their banking from a mobile device.
According to Bankrate, almost two-thirds of smartphone users in the U.S. have at least one financial app on their device. T-Mobile did a survey of its expert employees and found about the same: 72 percent of respondents said they use their bank’s mobile app or a financial app like Mint or Wallet to help manage their finances.
Whether you use your local bank or go online, chances are there’s a mobile app you can use. Below, T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile share some of the ways your smartphone can help you bank.
1. Know what’s what
The internet has paved the way for all sorts of new kinds of businesses, online banking being one of them. But there’s a difference between an online bank and online banking. Many brick-and-mortar banks allow customers to manage accounts online via the bank’s website (i.e. online banking), but online banks like Discover, Ally, and Simple do not have physical branches.
Mobile banking is similar to online banking, except it’s done via an app on your mobile device rather than on a computer. Most brick-and-mortar and online banks offer an option for mobile banking.
2. Your local branch in the palm of your hand
Online and mobile banking is on the rise. While many people still prefer to go to their local bank branch, 25 percent of people say they prefer banking with a mobile app and 76 percent say they wouldn’t open an account with a bank that doesn’t have a mobile app.
Some might see a lack of bank branches as a drawback, but often online banks make up for this with low or no monthly fees and a higher interest rate than traditional banks. For instance, Ally and T-Mobile MONEY both offer annual percentage yields (APY) many, many times higher than the average of less than 0.1 percent.
And, mobile banking is more accessible – customers can check their balance and deposit checks without having to go to their bank’s local branch, which can save a lot of time.
3. Leave your bulky wallet at home
Another benefit of mobile banking is the ability to make payments with your phone via a digital wallet. Apps like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay allow you to upload your debit and rewards cards to you phone. Forget having to carry around a wallet full of cards, bills, and receipts – payments can all be on your mobile device.
When you need to make a payment, simply hold your phone up to the card reader, wait for your transaction to be approved, and you’ll be all set.
4. Transfer cash (almost) instantly
Ask the person nearest you if they have any cash on them – there’s a decent chance they’ll say they don’t. That’s because people can use their smartphones to instantly transfer money from their own bank account to their friends with apps like Venmo or Zelle, as long as both participants have an account.
These services charge a small transaction fee, but it’s about the same as the fees charged at ATMs. Of course, you can always still pay your friends and family back in cash!
5. Manage your savings, manage your budget
There are also several smartphone apps to help people stay on track with their saving and budgeting goals. Mint and Wallet were popular options in T-Mobile’s survey, and these apps allow consumers to view their accounts, create budgets, allocate funds for upcoming payments, learn their spending habits, and view their credit score – all to help save those big bucks.
Let us know if you start mobile banking, what apps you find most useful, and how it goes. Happy spending (or saving)!

3 Adverse Childhood Experiences
That Linger Long Into Adulthood
Adversity hits everyone at various points in adult life, whether it comes in the form of physical injury, sickness, loss of a loved one, loss of a job, a broken romance, financial problems, or a series of disappointments that don’t seem fair.
Many adults learn to adjust to adversity and become stronger from it. But how much harder is it for those who suffered severe events during their childhood? Medical professionals say Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) — a term associated with a long study of traumatic experiences that occur to people under the age of 18 — have lasting negative impacts well into adulthood.
ACEs are estimated to afflict over 34 million U.S. children, and a comprehensive study published in JAMA Pediatrics found a quarter of adults had at least three adverse experiences in childhood, increasing their risk for heart disease, cancer, depression and substance abuse. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that ACEs have been linked to chronic health conditions, risky behaviors, low life potential and early death.
“The long-term damage of childhood adversity is real and tragic, sometimes affecting people for the rest of their lives,” says Jennifer Lynch, an educator, child advocate and author of the children’s book Livi and Grace(www.jenniferlynchbooks.com). “It can hurt them in every aspect of their adult life, cause them to be far less than they could have been otherwise, and make them view themselves negatively and the world the same way.
“We need to create hope for children who have been through these awful experiences, and further, we need to realize that millions of adults are still carrying these traumatic memories and feelings with them. They, too, need hope and support to overcome.”
Lynch goes over three of the most traumatic childhood experiences that can affect adults long into their lives:
Abuse. Numerous studies detail how child abuse and neglect can affect individual development — psychological, behavioral, and physical. “Emotion processing, which enables social competence, can be severely affected into adulthood and make one feel like an outcast or misunderstood,” Lynch says. “Being mistreated as a child, it’s a long road to feeling accepted and even to knowing how to treat others.”
Bullying. Some young adults who were bullied as a child could have a greater risk of ongoing depression due to a mix of genetic and environmental factors, according to a study from the University of Bristol. “As a result of bullying, depression, lack of confidence, and isolation can strike hard in the teen years, but certainly it can get worse over the long haul if the bullying experiences are buried,” Lynch says. “And then there’s evidence that those who were bullied as youths become bullies themselves as adults.”
Separation from parents. This has become a big topic due to migrant detentions on the U.S.-Mexico border. “It’s been shown time and again, and especially now — separating kids from their parents is detrimental to their health, mentally and physically,” Lynch says. “A parent who’s routinely there for a child buffers them, but separate the parent and child for a prolonged period and the child’s brain is in danger of not developing properly. They’re vulnerable to depression, substance abuse, and anxiety.”
“These unfortunate things that happen to so many children can cause them to live in shame and to do so for the rest of their adult lives,” Lynch says. “But the past does not define who they are or who they can become.”
