In this special Live episode of What The F Is Going On?, Mark is joined by BAFTA-winning writer, comedian and creator of Alma's Not Normal, Sophie Willan. From growing up in Bolton to breaking into television, Sophie tells the extraordinary story of how Alma's Not Normalfinally made it to the BBC, why working-class voices are still fighting to be heard, and how comedy can reveal more truth than drama ever could. Along the way, Mark and Sophie discuss community, class, mental health, social mobility, Margaret Thatcher's legacy, Andy Burnham, and why understanding people's lives is impossible without understanding the communities they come from. There are also brilliant stories about eccentric locals, unforgettable family members, comedy, swearing, Taskmaster, and why Paul Hollywood's bread shows make Sophie irrationally angry. A funny, thoughtful and passionate conversation about class, compassion and the stories we choose to tell.

What if the biggest breakthroughs in mental health have nothing to do with chemicals—and everything to do with electricity? In this fascinating conversation, Darin sits down with psychophysiology and brain mapping specialist Rebecca Bassam to explore the electrical nature of the human brain. After surviving multiple traumatic brain injuries herself, Rebecca dedicated her life to understanding how brainwave patterns influence everything from ADHD and anxiety to depression, PTSD, focus, emotional regulation, and peak performance. Together they discuss why traditional mental health often overlooks the brain itself, how brain mapping identifies dysfunctional patterns, why social media instantly pushes us into fight-or-flight, and the promising future of personalized neurotechnology using microcurrent, neurofeedback, biofeedback, light therapy, and frequency-based interventions. If you've ever wondered whether your brain can truly heal, this episode offers an entirely new perspective on what's possible. What You'll Learn Why mental health should begin with measuring the brain How brain mapping identifies patterns behind ADHD, anxiety, and depression The surprising electrical nature of brain function Why traumatic brain injuries often go undiagnosed for years How microcurrent therapy differs from electroshock therapy What brainwave frequencies reveal about focus, stress, and emotional regulation How chronic stress physically changes the brain Why scrolling social media activates your fight-or-flight response How breathing, neurofeedback, and light therapy can retrain the nervous system Why the brain remains capable of healing throughout life Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:35 – Introduction to Rebecca Bassam 00:02:53 – From traumatic brain injuries to brain mapping 00:06:06 – What psychophysiology actually measures 00:08:49 – Rebecca's own brain injury journey 00:11:57 – ADHD as a measurable brain pattern—not a character flaw 00:15:03 – Why your brain can be fast and slow simultaneously 00:18:54 – What brainwaves reveal about focus, anxiety, and stress 00:19:57 – Sponsor: Manna Vitality 00:21:54 – How head injuries change the brain 00:27:17 – Why the brain is fundamentally electrical 00:29:48 – Electroshock vs. modern microcurrent therapy 00:34:15 – Recovering from depression after traumatic brain injury 00:36:35 – Stress, physiology, and why your brain gets hijacked 00:38:21 – Hope for healing through brain mapping 00:40:49 – Can difficult life experiences physically reshape your brain? 00:44:28 – Breaking unhealthy neurological patterns 00:46:30 – Microcurrent, magnetic therapy, and red light therapy 00:48:11 – What social media is doing to your brain in real time 00:55:18 – Breathwork as an instant nervous system reset 01:00:14 – Practical ways to optimize your brain every day 01:05:48 – The future of personalized brain health 01:09:32 – Final thoughts and hope for healing     Thank You to Our Sponsors Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order.

While modern business gurus like Steven Bartlett and Elon Musk emphasize extending time horizons from 5 to 50 years to build durable, multi-generational companies, they are still only scratching the surface. In this episode, we explore how the principles of long-term thinking, foundational architecture, and building "durable moats" in business directly parallel the teachings of Jesus and the Scriptures. If extending your time horizon changes the way you construct a business, extending it to eternity should fundamentally transform how you structure your entire life. Discover why worldly success without an eternal foundation is an unstable build, and how you can stop, reset, and anchor your soul on bedrock.--The PursueGOD Truth podcast is the “easy button” for making disciples – whether you're looking for resources to lead a family devotional, a small group at church, or a one-on-one mentoring relationship.

While modern business strategy emphasizes long-term planning to create lasting value, Jesus challenges business leaders to consider the state of their eternal souls. Real security comes from trusting in God rather than unreliable riches, storing up heavenly treasure, and living with an eternal perspective.The Problem with Short-Term ThinkingModern business culture preaches the power of long-term vision. Consultants and top executives encourage founders to look past five-year exit strategies and plan for fifty-year horizons to build durable companies. Extended timeframes naturally demand stronger foundational decisions. Yet, from a biblical standpoint, even a fifty-year business strategy remains dangerously short-sighted.Jesus addressed the trap of temporal focus when He posed a fundamental question to His followers.Mark 8:36-37 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?Many driven professionals achieve massive financial success while inadvertently sacrificing their marriages, families, and spiritual well-being. They focus entirely on temporal outcomes while ignoring eternal realities. The Bible teaches that every human being will live forever somewhere. Consequently, evaluating life solely through the lens of earthly achievements ignores our ultimate destiny. God calls us to expand our planning far beyond a decade or a career.Riches Are Unreliable FoundationsBuilding a life on wealth creates a fragile structure that cannot withstand the storms of life or the reality of eternity. Money itself is not evil, but placing your trust in it creates a dangerous spiritual trap. Wealth offers a false sense of security that quickly evaporates when facing loss, tragedy, or death.The apostle Paul provided clear instructions for those who experience financial success, highlighting where true confidence belongs.1 Timothy 6:17-19 Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others. By doing this, they will be storing up their treasure as a good foundation for the future so that they may experience true life.Paul does not condemn money; rather, he warns against trusting in its stability. When business leaders redirect their resources toward generosity and good works, they shift their investments into an infrastructure that lasts. True life is found not in accumulating capital, but in knowing and serving the God who generously provides.The Danger of Storing Up Earthly WealthJesus frequently warned His listeners about the spiritual blindness caused by materialism. In a culture driven by net worth and asset accumulation, His warnings hit home for high achievers. He told a parable about a successful farmer who produced a bumper crop and decided to tear down his barns to build bigger ones so he could relax for decades.Luke 12:20-21 But God said to him, "You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get everything you worked for?" Yes, a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God.Jesus called this successful manager a fool not because he was good at business, but because he was completely unprepared for eternity. He planned for early retirement while neglecting his relationship with God. When we invest all our energy, time, and talent into temporary ventures, our hearts naturally follow those investments.Matthew 6:19-21 Don't store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.Aligning your desires with God's kingdom protects you from placing supreme value on things that will eventually decay.Rebuilding on the Ultimate RockBuilding a high-rise building requires digging a deep foundation. If you try to add extra floors to a building constructed on a weak base, the entire structure eventually collapses under stress. Many professionals reach a plateau or experience a crisis because they attempted to build a massive life on a weak base.Jesus concluded His Sermon on the Mount by contrasting two types of builders.Matthew 7:24-27 Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rains come in torrents and the flood waters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won't collapse because it's built on bedrock. But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn't obey is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.The storms of life test every life and career. When difficulty strikes, only a life built on obedience to Christ stands firm. Rebuilding your life on Jesus requires taking a step back, repenting of self-reliance, and allowing Him to transform your priorities from the ground up.The apostle Paul reinforced this truth when evaluating our lifelong work.1 Corinthians 3:11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have—Jesus Christ.Every achievement, business venture, and earthly status symbol will one day pass through the testing fire of God's judgment. Works driven by pride and temporal greed will burn away, but efforts built on faith, obedience, and love for Christ will yield eternal rewards.The TakeawayTo entrepreneurs today, Jesus offers a loving warning and a call to true wisdom. Achieving market success means very little if you lose your eternal soul in the process. While business strategies require vision, your ultimate focus belongs on eternity. Reevaluate your priorities today, ensure your confidence rests in Christ rather than your wealth, and rebuild your life on the rock of His Word.

The walls didn't fall from a fight. They fell from praise — and the praise came first, not after the win. Click here to read the sermon “Until the Walls Fall Down” Joshua 6:1–21 Oh, thank you, Brother Watson. That was so, so good. Friends, we are in the third and final week of this three-week series we have been in called Onward: Moving Toward the Uncharted. In this series, we have been looking at the story of Joshua's leadership of the people of Israel as they step into new ground, as they step into a brand new season, as they cross over the Jordan River into new lands the Lord has given them but of which they have not yet taken possession. There is a promise God has made to His people, but the people have not yet fully stepped into the promise. Two weeks ago, we saw this picture: that God had confirmed this promise, but it wasn't just a promise — it was a principle. And a principle is a promise that is user dependent, meaning the promise God makes to Joshua is, “I have given you every place the sole of your foot treads” (cf. Josh 1:3, HCSB) [see “A New Dawn, A New Day,” July 12, 2026]. Now that's a beautiful promise, but it also means that if Joshua and the people of Israel stay where they are on the eastern side of the Jordan River, that's all they get. But if they take steps of obedience, if they take steps of faith into a new land, if they follow a new journey and a new path to this new destination, God will be true to His promise to them. So we see it's not just a promise, but a principle — a user dependent promise. And last week, we saw this picture: how the people, after forty years wandering in the wilderness, had finally crossed the Jordan River (cf. Josh 3–4) [see “Walk This Way,” July 19, 2026]. They finally had crossed, and the Jordan River is not a huge river, but the Jordan River was an obstacle in the way of the promise. It was an obstacle in the way of stepping into the fullness of who God had called them to be. And so He gave very specific instructions as to how they were to cross the river, so that God would be praised and the generations to come would know that God is mighty, and He would be teaching the people to walk in wisdom. And so as we conclude today, we're going to do so with a message I have titled “Until the Walls Fall Down.” Until the walls fall down. Shock of all shocks, we're going to be looking at Joshua chapter six and the Battle of Jericho. Now, how many of you grew up in VBS, and you know the Joshua and the Battle of Jericho song? Come on: “Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho. Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, and the walls came tumbling down.” [Congregation sings along.] I want to write each and every one of your names up on the chalkboard and give check marks next to you. I don't think that means anything in heaven, but that's how proud of you I am that you all knew that song so well. Now, here's the thing. Many of us have heard the story of the Battle of Jericho in Sunday school and VBS growing up. But here are some of the things we may not have thought about when we were children hearing this story. Jericho is not a big city. Jericho was actually a relatively small town during this period of time. What Jericho had was two very important things, and in order to demonstrate those things, I need all of my youth in Passport shirts to come back up. I need all of your help. So youth and adults — if you're an adult here in a Passport shirt, I need you too. You are my wall. I need you all right here, right across the front. And by the way, I do want to see that special high five y'all worked on together. All right, so here we go — I've got my Passport teens and adults. This is my wall. Now, here's what's true about having a wall in front of you: I feel a whole lot braver with them in front of me, right? Because you can't get me — I've got the wall in front of me. Now, a wall is really great, but here's the problem: if I've got the wall in front of me and you are the encroaching army, you outnumber me, but I've got a wall, so I can just wait you out. But in order for me to wait you out — the same problem siege warfare has had for thousands of years is this: if you are the larger army and we've got a big wall, you don't have to tear down the wall. You just have to prevent anything I need from coming into the city. So the longer you surround the city, the more trouble I'm in. But Jericho had one thing going for it: Jericho had a spring in the middle of the city. So Jericho had fresh water and a wall. And if you've got fresh water and a wall, you don't need much else, because you can't get past my wall. And as long as I've got some animals and maybe some farming and fresh water, you can just keep hanging out out there — you don't bother me one bit. So, how many of you — raise your hands real quick, and then I'm going to dismiss the wall — how many of you have seen The Odyssey already? How many of you went to the theaters and saw the new Odyssey? Yes, excellent, you get it. So of course it's a bunch of men — Nolan made a new movie — that's how it goes. So here's the beauty of The Odyssey: The Odyssey is what happens after Homer's The Iliad, right? It's what happens after the Battle of Troy. And Troy was a walled city with a spring inside.1 So Troy could just wait out the opposing army — which is where the story comes from of the Trojan horse, because that was the only way you had to get someone to bring something into the city of their own accord. Otherwise, the people would just continue to wait and wait and wait — years waiting — because there was a spring and a wall. Y'all give it up for my wall! We're going to go ahead and let the wall fall down. Y'all can head back. “Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, and the walls came tumbling down.” But anytime you have siege warfare, the goal is to wait out the people inside. In fact, there are a lot of stories of siege warfare throughout history where no battle was ever actually fought — the people inside the city simply ran out of resources and ultimately died without a battle ever occurring. Jericho was not a large city. Jericho was a well-defended city. So we're going to read in Joshua chapter six, verses one and two — we'll go back, please: Now Jericho was strongly fortified because of the Israelites — no one leaving or entering. And the LORD said to Joshua, “Look, I have handed Jericho, its king, and its fighting men over to you.” (Josh 6:1–2, HCSB) Now, they've always had a big wall, but it's “fortified,” meaning they are in a defensive posture. And the reason they're in defensive posture is that suddenly that eighty thousand to a quarter million people — the Israelites who crossed the river — suddenly that group is now surrounding them. So the people of Jericho are shut up inside. No one's entering, no one's leaving. And the Lord said to Joshua, “Look, I have handed Jericho, its king and its fighting men over to you.” And if you're Joshua in that moment, you're thinking, “Not really — they seem to be doing just fine inside their walled city. They seem to be doing okay, God. You say You've delivered them to us, but here we are just hanging out outside. It doesn't look like we've been delivered much.” But this is why it's so important to remember that Jericho was not a big or powerful city — it was just well fortified. It's not a big or powerful city. It's just well fortified. And so this is our first point today that I want you to grab hold of: often in life, our obstacles are not large — they just appear insurmountable. Often our obstacles are not large. Often the obstacles you are facing are not crazy, they're not scary — you've just accepted that you can't do anything about them. Maybe that's where we are today as the church. It's easy to be the church in the world right now and look around and go, “Man, every church is declining.” It's easy to go, “It's not looking good.” And we're not quitting — but we've kind of thrown in the towel on going further. We're still going to show up, we're still going to be faithful, but if we're honest, we've lost a little bit of hope that there's more to come. We've lost a little bit of hope that the best is yet to come. We've lost a little bit of hope that the next generation is going to go further than we ever thought possible. It's not because it's big or scary — we're just looking around at the trends, and it feels insurmountable. But this is why what God says to Joshua next is so important. If we continue reading, we read these words: March around the city with all the men of war, circling the city one time. Do this for six days. Have seven priests carry seven ram's-horn trumpets in front of the ark. But on the seventh day, march around the city seven times while the priests blow the trumpets. (Josh 6:3–4, HCSB) You know, I should have asked about this before — I don't think we have a trumpet here, do we? We have the players, but not the horns. If there are any trumpet players in the room, I want to give you a moment to practice. Will you give me the sound you'd need to create the trumpet sound? Let me hear it — all the trumpet players in the room, any horn players in the room, let me hear it. There we go — it sounds a little bit like an elephant, doesn't it? Sounds a little bit like an elephant. Now here's the thing: I want you to imagine seven of those going off nonstop as an entire army marches around a city seven times. That's big, and it's loud, and it's scary. We continue reading: When there is a prolonged blast of the horn and you hear it sound, have all the people give a mighty shout. (Josh 6:5, HCSB) Let's practice our mighty shout. Here we go — three, two, one. [Congregation shouts.] You scared me! Let's try it again — three, two, one. [Congregation shouts again.] Okay, okay, all right. Now imagine that you are somewhere between fifty thousand and a hundred fifty thousand strong. Imagine that sound. Now, I'm from Florida — we have really great college football teams in Florida, and so that fifty to a hundred fifty thousand people screaming, I've heard a lot of that. Now here in Durham, I imagine we have to associate it more with college basketball — but imagine you're inside Cameron during Duke-UNC. It's tied with three seconds left. Can you imagine what it sounds like in that building? Can you imagine how loud it sounds? There's power in that. But here's what's interesting in God's command here in Joshua 6:3–5: nowhere is there a command to grab a weapon. Nowhere. God doesn't say, “Here's what I want you to do — I want you to spend some time, I want you to build the trebuchet, we're going to take that wall down.” He doesn't say, “I want you to get all the horses you can find, or the chariots you can find” — there's nothing military-related to what we're hearing. It's: walk around the city once a day for six days, and on the seventh day, walk around the city seven times. And what's going to happen? They're going to blow horns. Now, for the people of Israel, blowing horns was part of a celebration — it was part of praise to God. In fact, if you go through the books of Deuteronomy and Leviticus, you're going to find specific instructions for the horns that are supposed to be played during different parts of the worship service and the tabernacle. You're going to find different examples of how you are to worship and praise God.2 God does not command the people of Israel to pick up weapons of violence. He has them pick up weapons of praise. So we're going to skip ahead to verse twelve, and we're going to find out what Joshua does in response to God's command. “Joshua got up early the next morning” (Josh 6:12, HCSB). By the way, notice this in your Bible — whenever you're reading, especially in the Old Testament, you're going to find a continual pattern: when God gives a command to one of His people, the people who are our models of obedience tend to do this — they get up early the next morning. They get up early the next morning. Now, I don't know about you, but I like sleep. I really do — I love sleep. But on days when I'm really excited about something, on days when I know something good is going to happen, I'm that person who can't even stay asleep through my alarm. I'm up an hour earlier. There's so much energy, so much excitement — I'm so ready for what's about to happen. And we see this continually in Scripture: when people are excited about obedience, when they're excited about what God is about to do in their life, they get up early the next morning. They are preparing themselves to experience all that God intends. So Joshua got up early the next morning; the priests took the ark of the LORD, and the seven priests carrying seven trumpets marched in front of the ark of the LORD. And while the trumpets were blowing, the armed troops went in front of them, and the rear guard went behind the ark of the LORD (cf. Josh 6:13, HCSB). On the second day, they marched around the city once and returned to the camp, and they did this for six days. Now imagine — you're the people of Israel. Joshua's received this command from God, Joshua has relayed this command to you, the people. And here you are, day after day, just going for a walk around the city. And you know God has commanded this, but let's be honest — you don't really understand it. And I can't be the only person in the room who has been led by God to do something that didn't really make sense to me. I can't be the only person in the room who has found themselves in a situation where obedience to God seems ridiculous in the face of whatever's going on in your life. And if we're honest, if we're real with one another, I think many of us have come face to face with that struggle. God is asking for obedience, and you're looking at the situation — you're looking at your bank account, you're looking at your relationships, you're looking at your marriage, you're looking at your kids — and you're going, “God, that doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. God, I know You're calling me to be obedient here, but I'm struggling to get it.” And this whole series, this whole three weeks, has really been about the idea that God is calling us into a new land. God is calling us into a new territory. God is calling us into something we did not think was possible before. And so, in order for us to reach that new land, in order for us to reach that new destination, it's going to require some different things from us. And I think, first and foremost, it's going to require a different kind of faith — maybe than we've had before. It's going to require a faith that is deeper, a faith that trusts more. And another way to say that would be a faith that risks more — the kind of faith that says, “If You don't show up here, then I don't have any other options. You've called me into the kind of faith, God, where either You are who You say You are, or I've got nothing.” And if we want to reach a new destination, if we want to be a people who are following a new path, it will require of us a new kind of faith — because following a new path will require a new kind of faith. We've got to trust God enough to continue down a new path toward a new destination, even when it doesn't always make sense to us. In those moments, we've got to trust: God, You know what You're doing. God, You know what You're doing. Because if we're real — and I'm just being honest — I've been in ministry for twenty years, and I'm just telling you what I have experienced: most of the time, my faith looks like one foot in and one foot out. Most of the time, my faith looks like, “God, I'm really hoping You're going to come through, but I've also got a backup plan. God, I'm really trusting that You're going to come through, but please don't ask me to risk too much, or give too much, or do too much. God, don't ask me to take on a position that is outside of my comfort zone. God, don't lead me to volunteer for a ministry where I don't really know what I'm doing.” For most of us, faith looks like, “God, I really, really believe You about sixty percent of the time.” And that's not — please, please don't hear a judgment in that. Please don't hear me say you've only got sixty percent faith. I'm saying I'm there with you. I'm a pastor, and I'm there with you. But what I also know from my own testimony, what I also know from your life, is that the moments your faith has deepened the most have been the moments where you have trusted God in such a way that there was no Plan B. There was no backup. It's “God, I am one hundred percent all in with You. God, I'm not holding anything back. I'm not being careful about what I'm going to do if this doesn't work out. God, I am believing that Your way is the best way. So I'm going to live in such a way that the whole world will know: he really believes that God is faithful.” That's not what my life looks like most of the time. But I know that when God has moved the most powerfully, those are the moments I have trusted Him fully. There's a pastor who passed a few years ago — I mean, we could talk about his influence on my entire generation of Christians. His name was Dr. Charles Stanley. And Dr. Charles Stanley said these words, and I love them: God will take full responsibility of the life fully entrusted to Him.3 And I know in my life, those rare moments — those rare moments where I've had a new kind of faith, those rare moments where I say, “God, I am trusting You fully” — I have seen Him take full responsibility and do more than I ever thought was possible. Church, if we want to reach a new destination, if we want to follow a new path, it will require from us a new kind of faith. As we continue reading, we're going to read verses fifteen and sixteen, and then we're going to skip to twenty: Early on the seventh day, they started at dawn and marched around the city seven times in the same way. That was the only day they marched around the city seven times. After the seventh time, the priest blew the trumpets, and Joshua said to the people, “Shout, for the LORD has given you the city.” (Josh 6:15–16, HCSB) So, church — one more time. We've made our way around this city seven times. The priests have blown the trumpets. Let me be Joshua for a moment, and you be the people of Israel: “Shout, for the LORD has given you the city!” [Congregation responds.] The Lord has given you the fortified city. Let's try it again: “Shout, for the LORD has given you the city!” [Congregation shouts.] So the people shouted, and the trumpets sounded. When they heard the blast of the trumpet, the people gave a great shout, and the wall collapsed. The people advanced into the city, each man straight ahead, and they captured the city. (Josh 6:20, HCSB) Now: seven times around the city, trumpet blasts, the people shout. Trumpet blast, the people shout — and then what happens? “Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho. Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, and the walls came tumbling down.” Now here — Joshua fought the Battle of Jericho? The walls didn't come down because of a fight. The walls came down because of praise. You see, praise — the praise preceded the victory. The praise preceded the victory. And let's be honest — come on — how many of us are waiting for the victory to give the praise? How many of us, time and time again, in every circumstance and situation we face in life, we're waiting for the victory? “God, once You bring me the victory, I'll give You the praise. God, once we have won, I'll give You the praise.” That's not how the Battle of Jericho goes. Praise precedes the victory. Praise precedes the victory. What would your life look like if you brought to mind the biggest obstacle you're facing — if you brought to mind the biggest battle that's ahead of you, if you brought to mind the biggest fear, the biggest anxiety, the biggest worry you have — bring that to the forefront of your mind. And what would happen if right now, here in this place, you said, “God, I'm not waiting for the victory to give You praise. I'm not waiting for the win to declare Your glory. God, I'm not waiting until this church is overflowing with people and we're doing four services — I'm not waiting for that to give You praise right now.” Let's be honest, church, I know where you're at. How about, “God, I'm not waiting until we have it all figured out and all the answers to give You praise.” What would it look like? What would it look like for you to say here and now, “God, You get every bit of my praise. You get every bit of my praise, You get it here and now. I'm not waiting for the victory to give You praise.” Because here's what's true — here's what's true. No matter what battle you are facing in this life, no matter what circumstance you are coming up against, what is true is that death has already been defeated. Sin has already been defeated. The blood of Jesus has already purified you from all unrighteousness. You are covered in the grace of God before a bit of victory has been given in the circumstance you're facing in this moment. You've already got more victory than you could ever ask or imagine. You have already won. So yeah — you might be facing some confusion about what comes next for you as a church. You may be facing some tough decisions in your personal life regarding your finances. You may be battling — I mean, man, at this point, you can be battling just by ordering a salad. It's bad out there, y'all. Whatever battle you are facing — you've already won. Church, hear me when I say this: you've already won. You've already got the victory. Yes, there are situations in your life that you're afraid of. Yes, there are situations in your life you're nervous about. There are circumstances going on in your friends and in your family that you are worried about. But I want to let you know: in the middle of that anxiety, in the middle of that worry, in the middle of the unknowns for what comes next, we can praise God right now — because praise precedes the victory. Praise precedes the victory. And here's what the enemy wants for you: the enemy wants you to forget that you've already won. The enemy wants you to forget you've already been victorious. The enemy wants you to forget what God has already done for you — and to get you so wrapped up with the thing that is five feet in front of you that you become blinded to everything else. That's all the enemy wants. But church — what would happen? What would happen in your life if you said, “I've already won. I am praising God”? And victory may or may not come in this situation, but I'm praising God either way, because I'm already victorious. Church, are you willing? Are you willing to give your praise before the victory? Are you willing to give your praise before the victory? And here's the thing that I don't understand — there's so much in Scripture that I don't get. I don't understand how, in God's economy, ninety percent goes further than a hundred percent. I don't understand how, in God's economy, six days goes further than seven. I don't understand how it is that in God's economy, sometimes when we praise, victory follows. It's backwards to the way the world works. Church, God has called you to be a different kind of people, following a different kind of path, with a different kind of faith. Church, are you willing to give your praise before the victory? Because I believe — I believe for Yates Baptist Church, and I believe for every man, woman, and child in this room right now — I believe if you will give your praise, you have no idea what God will do next. If you will give your praise, I believe there is a victory headed your way, church. I don't want you to miss it. I don't want you to miss it. I don't want you to miss out on the destination. I don't want you to miss out on the new lands. I don't want you to miss out on the life that is ahead of you if you're willing to give your praise first. If you're willing to be a people of praise, no matter the situation, no matter the circumstance, I believe that victory comes quickly on its heels. Let me pray for us. Heavenly Father, Jesus — we give You praise in this place. We give You honor and glory in this place. God, we're going to hear music in this place. God, we're going to sing songs of praise in this place. And so, God, we're not holding back. God, we're going to give You praise today like victory is dependent upon it. We're going to give You praise today as a people who have already won. We're going to give You praise today like a people who know that if we praise until the walls fall down, we will see Your victory. We will experience Your grace and Your mercy and Your goodness. Jesus, we want a taste of Your victory, and so we give You praise here and now. We don't know what the future holds, but You do. We don't know what the next step is, God, but You do. So God, would You give us the kind of faith that praises You before the victory? Would You give us the kind of faith that is obedient in such a way that if You don't come through, God, we have no hope? Would You give us the kind of faith that fully entrusts our lives to You, believing that You will take full responsibility of that life? Jesus, we pray this in Your name. Amen. Endnotes 1 The image of “a spring in the middle of the city” draws loosely on Homer's description of twin springs feeding the Scamander near Troy's walls (Iliad 22.147–152: “κρουνὼ δ' ἵκανον καλλιρρόω· ἔνθα δὲ πηγαὶ / δοιαὶ ἀναΐσσουσι Σκαμάνδρου δινήεντος,” “they came to the two fair-flowing fountains, where well up the two springs that feed eddying Scamander”). Homer locates these springs outside the city walls, on the plain, not within the citadel, and describes two springs (one warm, one cold) rather than one. Archaeological excavation at Hisarlık, the site identified with ancient Troy, has not confirmed a spring inside the fortified citadel matching this Homeric image. Excavated water features there consist chiefly of cisterns and a rock-cut channel rather than a documented intramural spring. 2 The trumpet/horn vocabulary sits in three Pentateuchal locations: Numbers 10:1–10, where the instrument is חֲצוֹצְרָה (chatzotzerah, “[silver] trumpet”) and the war-signal is תְּרוּעָה (teru'ah, “shout, alarm-blast,” Num 10:9); and Leviticus 23:24 and 25:9, where the instrument is שׁוֹפָר (shofar, “ram's horn”), again paired with teru'ah. Joshua 6 itself uses shofar for the priests' horns (שׁוֹפְרוֹת הַיּוֹבְלִים, shofrot ha-yovlim, “ram's-horn trumpets,” 6:4) and teru'ah for the people's shout (תְּרוּעָה גְדוֹלָה, teru'ah gedolah, “a great shout,” 6:5, 20). This is Leviticus's pairing, and the same shofar/teru'ah pairing recurs as a holy-war type-scene in Judges: Ehud sounds the shofar to muster Israel (וַיִּתְקַע בַּשּׁוֹפָר, Judg 3:27); Gideon does the same to summon his army (Judg 6:34), and; At the battle against Midian the shofar blast and accompanying cry again precede the enemy's collapse rather than follow it (Judg 7:16–22) The repeated formula forms the same liturgical praise-before-victory pattern the preacher interprets from Jericho. 3 The challenging line, “God will take full responsibility of the life fully entrusted to Him,” conflates language from two sources rather than quoting either: Andrew Murray (“God is ready to assume full responsibility for the life wholly yielded to Him”), commonly attributed to Murray in devotional compilations though without a confirmed primary-text citation, and Charles Stanley's Life Principle 11 (“God assumes full responsibility for our needs when we obey Him”), as taught through In Touch Ministries. A third variant, “God takes full responsibility for the life wholly devoted to Him,” also circulates under Stanley's name in popular quotation collections. Rendered in the body as the preacher's own synthesis of these related sayings.

In many ways this episode is one I really loved because it was like a homecoming of sorts as she had a journey into Boston as did I many decades earlier. Here was a woman who really knows jazz and how to sing it and has the deepest connections with some of the greats in the music. Hearing her stories about her many accomplishments (did I say she is also a therapist and psychologist?) and, above all, seeing and hearing the great achievement of her album, a simply beautiful work of art that literally appears to singlehandedly bring back the record album era made for an episode that was joyous.  This episode is what our podcast is all about.More about the magnificent Vivienne Aerts:Dutch New York-based vocalist, conductor, and composer with a focus on electronics, chocolate, and multi-sensory experience design, as well as a clinical psychologist and faculty at Berklee College of Music in Boston. ( Extended bio available on her beautiful website -www.vivienneaerts.com )Social Links to Ms. Aerts and her new album: www.vivienneaerts.nl/links The story of her new album Current The journey of this album started a couple of years ago. When the world ground to a halt in 2020, I bought a small 1951 mahogany sailboat to disappear into for a while. I renamed it 'De Vouw' which is Dutch for 'The Fold'; a nod to origami, but also to folding the water when it moves. During our early outings, I quickly found out that there is a stillness on the water that could be used as a living studio. There is a natural reverb that I found appealing - it gave a very vivid signature to a recording.In the summer of 2025, we set out to record this album on that same little sailboat. I grew up in this region of the Netherlands, and water has always been around us. My husband grew up on these waters and is an avid sailor, so he knows them like the back of his hand. During this two-week process, I got to use that natural reverb that started it all, but I also learned about the wind, the sun, reeds and all the different birds around me. I learned about my own country by returning to its root: the water. And, I got to know myself a little bit better in the process; who I am, what I need, how my creativity flows, and how much of it I can actually control. Just the two of us on a tiny boat in the middle of the lake, surrounded by nature, feeling both free and strangely stuck at the same time.We traveled from our hometown Leiden, to Lake Braassem, all the way up to Amsterdam and back. Along the way, we met up with saxophonist Susanne Alt on the side of Beatrix Park, and we recorded harmonica player Hermine Deurloo in a secret spot on the canals in the oldest part of Amsterdam. We carried Adinda Meertins' double bass onto De Vouw and drifted into the middle of the lake, where it also ended up serving as a wind blocker. We met friends and family at the small water lock in Roelofarendsveen, the mysterious photographer John Brussel, who lives hidden away in a little cabin on the shores of De Kaag, and we even found a few original Amsterdammers as well.I set out to make an album on the water, but in the end, I made an album with the water, guided by the current. Because when life becomes difficult, sometimes the only thing you can do is move with it. This album is a journey through where my music is right now, a love letter to Dutch waters, and the beginning of a new chapter in my artistry. This is me. This is Current.#jazz #vocalist #singing #kennywerner #piano #effortlessmastery #berkleecollegeofmusic #meditation #selfcompassion #selfesteem #selfcare #selfhelp #lifelonglearning #psychology #improvisation #sound #engineering #choir #chorus #women #feminism #music #alcohn #zootsims #joecohn #billieholiday #boston #nyc #digital #analog #album #shirleyhorne #dominiqueeade #ocean #sea #water #experiemental #belgium #netherlands #chocolate #bakery #baking #food #cuisine

What if the key to balancing hormones, improving digestion, reducing inflammation, and even lowering breast cancer risk isn't another supplement—but the trillions of microbes already living inside you? In this fascinating conversation, Darin sits down with clinical nutritionist and PhD researcher Sara Brandow to unpack the rapidly emerging science of the gut microbiome and its profound influence on women's health. From estrogen metabolism and PCOS to the dangers of restrictive diets, social media misinformation, and the hierarchy of scientific evidence, Sara explains why diversity, not dietary perfection—is the true foundation of long-term wellness. Together they explore why the carnivore diet may starve beneficial gut bacteria, how fear surrounding lectins and detoxes has led many people astray, the importance of feeding your microbiome with fiber-rich whole foods, and why meaningful health transformation happens gradually, not through quick fixes. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice, this episode offers a science-backed roadmap toward building a healthier, more resilient inner ecosystem. What You'll Learn What the estrobolome is and why it regulates estrogen metabolism How gut bacteria influence PCOS, hormone balance, and breast cancer risk Why microbiome diversity matters more than dietary perfection The hidden dangers of restrictive diets and the carnivore trend The truth about lectins and why they've been misunderstood Why prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics all play unique roles How beneficial gut bacteria influence cravings and behavior The hierarchy of scientific evidence, and how to recognize trustworthy nutrition research Why parasite cleanses and extreme detoxes can backfire How to rebuild your microbiome one food at a time Why eating 30 different plants each week supports gut resilience How small dietary changes create lasting health improvements Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:34 – Sponsor: Bite Toothpaste 00:02:48 – Introducing Sara Brandow 00:03:26 – Why the microbiome may be the missing link in women's health 00:04:13 – Research, curiosity, and communicating science 00:08:22 – Why Sara returned to pursue a PhD 00:10:12 – The gut-estrogen axis explained 00:11:39 – Understanding the estrobolome and estrogen metabolism 00:14:20 – Why perfection is hurting your microbiome 00:15:27 – The carnivore diet and starving beneficial gut bacteria 00:16:18 – The truth about lectins and fear-based nutrition 00:17:17 – Sponsor: Manna Vitality 00:19:15 – Prebiotics, postbiotics, and the power of butyrate 00:21:13 – How to separate real science from internet misinformation 00:23:24 – The hierarchy of scientific evidence 00:26:03 – Why bro science often ignores the strongest research 00:29:20 – How restrictive diets "nuke" the microbiome 00:32:27 – Parasite cleanses, detoxes, and rebuilding gut health 00:37:02 – Why food quality and diversity matter most 00:40:12 – How gut bacteria influence cravings and behavior 00:43:28 – The stealth approach to rebuilding your microbiome 00:46:20 – Practical strategies for increasing plant diversity 00:48:30 – Estrogen recycling, beta-glucuronidase, and hormonal balance 00:50:29 – Science communication in the age of algorithms 00:53:23 – Blood testing vs. microbiome testing 00:55:20 – Plant-based nutrition, misconceptions, and thriving long term 00:59:20 – The blood type diet myth 01:02:15 – Early life, antibiotics, and building a resilient microbiome     Thank You to Our Sponsors Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order Manna Vitality: Go to mannavitality.com/ and use code DARIN12 for 12% off your order.     Join the SuperLife Community Get Darin's deeper wellness breakdowns — beyond social media restrictions: Weekly voice notes Ingredient deep dives Wellness challenges Energy + consciousness tools Community accountability Extended episodes Join for $7.49/month → https://patreon.com/darinolien     Find More from Sarah Brandow Website: sarahbrandow.com Instagram: @sarahbrandow Test Your Microbiome: masteryourmicrobiome.com     Find More from Darin Olien: Website: darinolien.com Instagram: @darinolien Book: Fatal Conveniences Platform & Products: superlife.com New Show: Roadmap to Happiness     Key Takeaway "The future of nutrition isn't about finding the perfect diet—it's about building the healthiest internal ecosystem possible.

What if the biggest threats to your health aren't diseases in the traditional sense—but invisible patterns of disconnection that quietly shape every aspect of your life? In this thought-provoking solo episode, Darin explores what he calls the Five Silent Diseases: numbness, disconnection, distraction, comparison, and forgetting who you truly are. Drawing on research surrounding loneliness, chronic disease, ultra-processed foods, nutrient depletion, social media, and nervous system health, he reveals how modern systems have become remarkably efficient at keeping us busy, distracted, and disconnected from ourselves. More importantly, Darin offers a roadmap back—through real food, meaningful relationships, intentional stillness, honest self-reflection, and daily practices that reconnect us to purpose. This isn't about adding more information to your life. It's about remembering what you've always known and finally acting on it. You weren't born to simply manage your life—you were born to truly live it. What You'll Learn Why loneliness has become one of today's greatest public health challenges The connection between ultra-processed food and chronic disease How nutrient-depleted soils affect the quality of our food Why social media is reshaping our nervous systems The Five Silent Diseases that keep us disconnected from ourselves How boredom can unlock creativity and emotional clarity Why real human connection is more important than digital connection The difference between information and true self-awareness Practical breathing and mindfulness techniques to reconnect with yourself Why asking better questions changes your life How one real meal and one real conversation can transform your week Why your purpose begins with slowing down enough to hear yourself again Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Fatty15 00:04:13 – A startling truth about loneliness 00:05:18 – Why we're more connected—and more isolated—than ever 00:05:49 – We're managing life instead of living it 00:06:25 – Ultra-processed food and the chronic disease epidemic 00:07:20 – Nutrient-depleted soil and declining food quality 00:08:04 – Social media, anxiety, and the next generation 00:08:50 – The systems keeping us disconnected 00:09:34 – Introducing the Five Silent Diseases 00:09:56 – Silent Disease #1: Numbness 00:10:25 – Silent Disease #2: Disconnection 00:10:56 – Silent Disease #3: Distraction 00:11:27 – Silent Disease #4: Comparison 00:11:58 – Silent Disease #5: Forgetting who you are 00:12:33 – Responsibility creates power 00:12:53 – Sponsor: Shakeology 00:14:44 – A guided breathing and mindfulness practice 00:15:25 – The one truth you've been avoiding 00:15:46 – "What do you know that you're pretending not to know?" 00:16:09 – Quieting the noise to hear yourself 00:16:49 – Four practical actions to transform your life 00:16:57 – Eat one real, whole-food meal today 00:17:16 – Have one meaningful conversation this week 00:17:39 – Disconnect from your phone and embrace boredom 00:18:03 – Write down the truth you've been avoiding 00:18:23 – Take one step toward the life you actually want 00:18:56 – Why your dreams deserve your attention 00:19:29 – Presence over productivity 00:19:38 – Busy isn't the same as living 00:20:01 – One real meal.

Modern life constantly pulls your attention outward, leaving little room to notice what your body, your heart, and your intuition have been trying to tell you all along. Healing begins when you slow down enough to listen. One real meal. One meaningful conversation. One moment of stillness. One honest decision. Those small acts don't just change your day—they change the trajectory of your life."     Bibliography/Sources: Loneliness and Health Risk Associated Press. (2025, January).

Get ready to get deep into the realm of Special Education. As a general ed teacher, I've had a love-hate relationship with how best to work with special education students and the teachers who support them. While I understand the necessity, the implementation in a general education classroom often felt awkward and overwhelming. I'm sure I'm not alone in this. I'm also sure our special education teachers have similar grievances when dealing with general ed teachers.So I decided to do a deep dive to better understand the history of our SPED programs, how they are supposed to work, and whether they are really benefiting the students they serve. This deep dive was too big to fit into a single episode, so Jen and I decided to create several episodes to give this topic the time it deserves. Welcome to Episode one:The History of Special Education (SPED)In this episode of Transparency in Teaching, Jen and I dive deep into the history of special education (SPED) in the United States. We start with a light-hearted conversation about Jen's rigorous walking routine, but quickly transition into the main topic: the evolution of special education. In this episode we discuss:Early Days of Special Education:Initially, children with disabilities were often institutionalized or kept at home with no formal education.Wealthier families could afford private tutors or specialized schools, but most families had limited options.Legislative Milestones:A series of laws from 1958 to 1968 began addressing the needs of children with disabilities, but these were piecemeal efforts.Notable acts included the Captioned Films Act (1958), the Training of Professional Personnel Act (1959), and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (1965).Major Legal Cases:Brown vs. Board of Education (1954): Although primarily about racial desegregation, it laid the groundwork for arguments against segregating children with disabilities.PARC vs. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (1971): This case established that children with intellectual disabilities had the right to public education.Mills vs. Board of Education of D.C. (1972): Extended the right to free public education to all children with disabilities, regardless of the cost.The IDEA Act:The Education for All Handicapped Children Act (1975), later renamed the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), guaranteed a free appropriate public education (FAPE) to all children with disabilities.This act has been reauthorized multiple times but has not been updated since 2004.Current Challenges:The IDEA Act is outdated and needs reauthorization and updates to address current educational needs and funding issues.The Americans with Disabilities Act (1990) further ensured accessibility in public spaces, including schools.Jen's Perspective: She is struck by how long it took for meaningful changes to occur and empathizes with the struggles of parents both past and present.Anne's Perspective: She is concerned about the IDEA Act's outdatedness and the lack of recent updates to address current educational challenges.We wrap up by encouraging listeners to reflect on the history of special education and its impact on today's educational landscape. We also tease the next episode, which will delve into the current state of special education, including enrollment numbers and costs.Listeners are invited to share their thoughts and experiences related to special education on our website, TransparencyInTeaching.com, where they can also find past episodes and blog posts.Key Points Discussed: Reflections and Takeaways:Conclusion:Call to Action:

You are not the noise in your head this morning. You are the stillness beneath it. In just 10 minutes, this guided morning meditation will help you clear your mind, release physical tension, and find the calm that's been inside you all along, so you can start your day from a place of clarity instead of chaos. Most mornings, the mind is already running before your feet hit the floor. To-do lists, yesterday's unfinished business, the low hum of anxiety that follows you into the day. This meditation is the reset. A quiet 10 minutes to come back to yourself before the world gets loud, and a reminder that no matter what the day brings, there is always stillness available to you beneath the surface. This meditation session includes: - A powerful opening breathwork sequence to slow the nervous system and ease you out of autopilot mode. - A gentle body scan and physical release to let go of overnight tension. - A guided stillness visualization to quiet mental chatter and find the calm that exists beneath your thoughts. - Extended open silence throughout, giving you real space to settle, rather than rushing you from one cue to the next. - A grounding close to send you into your day with a clearer, calmer mind. This meditation is designed for repeat daily use. The more consistently you practice, the more quickly you'll be able to access this stillness... not just during the meditation, but in the middle of a busy day, a stressful meeting, or a difficult moment. Over time, you won't just feel better in the morning. You'll carry this calm with you throughout your whole life. #meditation #guidedmeditation Check out the Wake Me Up Mindset Coach app: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://studio.com/wakemeup⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Can a heavy metal musician help transform global food systems? In this inspiring conversation, Darin sits down with internationally acclaimed bassist Tanya O'Callaghan to explore the unlikely intersection of rock and roll, activism, compassion, and human connection. Best known for touring with artists including Whitesnake, Bruce Dickinson, Dee Snider, and Steven Adler, Tanya reveals that long before she ever picked up a bass guitar, she was fighting for animal rights and questioning the systems that shape our world. Together they discuss how curiosity breaks down cultural barriers, why meaningful change begins with conversations instead of confrontation, and how leading by example can inspire transformation in the most unexpected places—from helping a Vietnam veteran reclaim his health through plant-forward eating to partnering with Maasai communities in Kenya to improve access to clean water and sustainable agriculture. This episode is ultimately about integrity: living in alignment with your values, remaining open to learning from others, and remembering that changing your plate can become one of the simplest ways to change the world. What You'll Learn How Tanya built a career touring with legendary rock musicians Why activism became her life's purpose before music The childhood experience that led her to become vegan How curiosity creates connection across vastly different cultures Why compassion is more effective than confrontation Tanya's work with Maasai communities in Kenya The importance of sustainable agriculture and clean water The inspiring story of Bob, a Vietnam veteran whose life changed through friendship and food Why community begins with your neighbors How travel expands empathy and challenges assumptions Why whole-food, plant-forward eating benefits people, animals, and the planet How living with integrity creates ripple effects far beyond yourself Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:35 – Sponsor: Alkemis Paint 00:03:26 – Introducing Tanya O'Callaghan 00:04:31 – Twenty years touring with rock legends 00:07:21 – Balancing music with lifelong activism 00:08:34 – Building a career by saying "yes" 00:10:47 – Growing up in rural Ireland 00:13:05 – Challenging the education system and questioning authority 00:15:28 – Why activism begins with curiosity 00:17:02 – Sponsor: Shakeology 00:18:48 – The childhood moment that changed Tanya's life forever 00:21:03 – Becoming a lifelong animal rights advocate 00:23:08 – Compassion, food systems, and cognitive dissonance 00:26:09 – Why kindness—not judgment—creates change 00:31:19 – Meeting a Maasai leader and building an unexpected friendship 00:34:15 – Bringing clean water and sustainable agriculture to Kenya 00:36:32 – Learning from indigenous wisdom and traditional food systems 00:40:20 – Why whole-food, plant-forward eating doesn't have to be complicated 00:43:48 – Open-mindedness as the foundation for meaningful collaboration 00:47:08 – Why curiosity matters more than being right 00:50:11 – Bob: the Vietnam veteran who became family 00:53:24 – Showing up for your neighbors during unimaginable tragedy 00:57:10 – Food as a bridge for healing and friendship 01:00:10 – Community begins with ordinary acts of kindness 01:03:08 – Why labels divide and stories unite 01:05:15 – Living in alignment with your values 01:08:08 – The courage to question systems 01:10:48 – Finding purpose through resistance 01:11:45 – Staying true to the little girl who never stopped fighting 01:13:15 – Final reflections: changing plates can change the world Thank You to Our Sponsors Shakeology: Get 15% off with code DARINO1BODI at Shakeology.com.

Whether you're connecting with a neighbor, collaborating with indigenous communities halfway across the world, or simply making more conscious choices about the food on your plate, kindness and curiosity create possibilities that judgment never can. Living with integrity doesn't require perfection; it requires consistently aligning your actions with your values. When enough people make those small daily choices, changing your plate truly can help change the world."

The Industry Relations Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview Rob and Greg kick off with some World Cup talk before diving into the Zillow vs. Compass preliminary injunction hearing, covering media coverage (Real Estate News, Inman, Nick Alfenkamp's Substack), key testimony from Errol Samuelson on listing freshness, and cross-examination details involving Robert Reffkin and MRED. They debate whether Zillow "rules the industry" or whether the MLS cooperative model still holds, unpack what legitimate competition looks like in real estate, and explore what Compass's strategy should be going forward — doubling down on agents vs. positioning against AI and big tech. The episode closes with a wide-ranging, contentious debate on whether private/exclusive listings carry fair housing implications tied to America's history of housing discrimination. Key Takeaways Coverage of the Zillow vs. Compass hearing came primarily from Real Estate News, Inman (AJ Trace), and Nick Alfenkamp's Substack; Zillow reportedly covered Alfenkamp's travel expenses to the trial. Errol Samuelson testified that a new listing gets significantly more views on its first day than by day five, framing the core dispute as who gets to benefit from "fresh" listings — the listing broker/MLS cooperative or the largest portal (Zillow). Reporting suggested Robert Reffkin encouraged Bright MLS to follow MRED's example and reacted negatively when Bright chose to stay neutral; MRED had reportedly run private listing networks for a decade before Compass became a major player there. Rob argues MLS rules were broken and Zillow is seeking a legal exemption; Greg counters that broker cooperatives generally avoid side deals with MLSs to preserve a level playing field. A ruling from the judge is expected around the end of the month. Rob and Greg discuss Compass strategy options: positioning as a tech company (rejected by Wall Street), inventory/listing differentiation (private listings), and scaling via agent count (the Anywhere deal). Greg suggests Compass should double down on agent quality/reputation and buyer-demand data rather than "cheat codes" like exclusive inventory. They debate potential enemies for a Compass marketing strategy — NAR, Zillow, or AI/big tech broadly — with Rob arguing consumer trust in tech companies has shifted negatively in recent years. Extended debate on whether competing on exclusive inventory is illegitimate specifically in real estate (vs. law, banking, etc.), including whether fair housing history and housing discrimination sensitivities explain the industry's resistance to private listings.

What if everything you've been taught about caring for your dog needs a second look? In this eye-opening conversation, Darin sits down with lifelong animal advocate, senior dog rescue operator, and canine wellness educator Angela Ardolino to explore the hidden forces shaping modern veterinary medicine. After both she and her beloved dog were diagnosed with degenerative diseases, Angela began questioning conventional treatments and discovered the transformative potential of full-spectrum hemp extract, medicinal mushrooms, species-appropriate nutrition, and addressing the root causes of disease. Together they examine the influence of pharmaceutical companies and large pet food manufacturers on veterinary education, the importance of gut health, the endocannabinoid system, functional mushrooms, and Angela's groundbreaking clinical research on reversing canine cognitive dysfunction (dog dementia). Most importantly, they discuss how pet owners can become empowered advocates for the animals they love by making informed, holistic choices. This conversation is a powerful reminder that true healing often begins by supporting the body's innate ability to restore balance. What You'll Learn How Angela reversed her rheumatoid arthritis alongside her dog's degenerative disease Why the endocannabinoid system is critical for both humans and dogs How full-spectrum hemp extract differs from isolated cannabinoids The hidden influence of pharmaceutical companies and pet food manufacturers in veterinary medicine Why gut health is the foundation of your pet's immune system The dangers of synthetic vitamins, fillers, and highly processed pet supplements Why medicinal mushrooms may support cognition, immunity, and longevity Angela's peer-reviewed research on canine cognitive dysfunction (dog dementia) The importance of therapeutic dosing and ingredient quality Why sourcing, extraction, and growing methods matter Practical ways to naturally support your dog's health How becoming an informed pet owner can transform your animal's quality of life Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Sponsor: TruNiagen 00:02:36 – Introducing Angela Ardolino 00:03:16 – Why conventional veterinary medicine deserves closer scrutiny 00:04:53 – Dogs as mirrors, teachers, and companions 00:06:40 – Angela's rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis 00:08:24 – Her dog's degenerative disease and discovering full-spectrum cannabis 00:11:16 – Learning the endocannabinoid system and shifting to canine wellness 00:13:05 – Inside a senior dog rescue: what Angela kept seeing 00:15:10 – Synthetic supplements, fillers, and hidden ingredients 00:17:37 – Looking beyond symptoms to identify root causes 00:21:21 – Sponsor: Fatty15 00:25:02 – Why kibble and ultra-processed pet foods became the norm 00:26:19 – Pharmaceutical influence on veterinary education 00:27:24 – Drug safety, informed consent, and advocating for your pet 00:31:08 – Building a stronger health foundation for dogs 00:33:30 – Natural plant medicines versus isolated pharmaceuticals 00:36:30 – Practical first steps every pet owner can take today 00:39:00 – Supporting detoxification and the liver naturally 00:42:20 – Functional mushrooms and whole-plant medicine 00:45:01 – Healing degenerative disease with hemp and botanicals 00:46:41 – Preventing disease in aging dogs 00:47:39 – Why sourcing and extraction methods matter 00:50:19 – Medicinal mushrooms, cultivation, and therapeutic potency 00:53:27 – Introducing MycoDog and Angela's formulations 00:54:00 – Understanding canine cognitive dysfunction 00:57:12 – Why dog dementia is often overlooked 00:59:21 – Designing a clinical study using medicinal mushrooms 01:01:21 – The research results: improving canine cognition 01:03:25 – The future of integrative veterinary medicine 01:05:09 – Choosing quality hemp products and final advice for pet owners Thank You to Our Sponsors Truniagen: Go to www.truniagen.com and use code DARINOLIEN20 at checkout for 20% off Fatty15: Get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to fatty15.com/DARIN and using code DARINOLIEN20 at checkout.

When we move beyond symptom management and begin supporting the body's innate intelligence through species-appropriate nutrition, reducing toxic exposures, whole-plant medicine, functional mushrooms, and thoughtful lifestyle choices, we create the conditions for resilience and healing. Becoming your pet's greatest advocate may be one of the most loving acts you can offer."

Send us Fan MailDeliver at 11 PM Tuesday and round at 1 AM Wednesday: paid. Deliver at 8 AM Tuesday and round at 4 PM Tuesday: included in the delivery code, and billing it separately is a compliance violation. Same clinical work, two different outcomes. The only variable is the calendar. Starting January 1, 2027 postpartum care moves to E/M billing with hospital rounds, discharge management, and outpatient checkups all individually billable. Dr. Heather Signorelli walks through the code sets, the same-day trap, the multi-provider wrinkle, and the three-step workflow that catches it every time. The end of the postpartum bundle: Code 59430 (postpartum care only) is deleted January 1, 2027. All postpartum care moves to E/M billing. Two settings, two code sets: inpatient (hospital rounds) and outpatient (office visits). Inpatient postpartum codes: Subsequent hospital care: 99231, 99232, 99233 for daily rounding visits after the date of delivery. Discharge day management: 99238 (30 minutes or less) or 99239 (over 30 minutes). Every rounding day after delivery, on a new calendar date, is a separately billable E/M encounter. Documentation has to support the level. A one-liner does not support a 99233. Outpatient postpartum codes (with telehealth correction): Standard office E/M: 99212 through 99215 with modifier TH. Telehealth uses the same 99212 through 99215 codes with modifier 95 or GT, and place of service 02 or 10. There is no separate “98000” telehealth code set, contrary to earlier references in this series. Modifier TH on all postpartum E/M codes communicates the maternity context to the payer. The same-day rule: Postpartum E/M codes CANNOT be reported on the same calendar date as the delivery code. Same-day postpartum management is included in the delivery code. Calendar date means midnight to midnight, not twenty-four hours from delivery time. The multi-provider wrinkle: If Dr. Smith delivers at 8 AM and Dr. Jones rounds at 4 PM the same day, Dr. Jones cannot bill an E/M for that visit. The delivery code covers same-day postpartum regardless of which provider from the same group performs it. This requires an internal compensation and attribution policy, not just a billing rule. The workflow fix — three steps: Timestamp discipline on every delivery and rounding note Billing team hard stop: verify delivery date before dropping any postpartum E/M charge Daily L and D reconciliation: track delivery date, rounding date, and provider by patient, daily The revenue opportunity: Every hospital rounding day after the delivery date is a new billable E/M. Extended stays from complications (postpartum hemorrhage, severe preeclampsia, wound infection, NICU situations) all generate additional charges. Complexity matters for reimbursement. Outpatient two-week and six-week checks are now individually billable instead of absorbed into a global fee. The same-day rule is the risk. Everything after midnight is the opportunity. Quick Reference Table:Topic                                                                             What to knowDeleted postpartum code                            59430 — deleted Jan 1, 2027 Inpatient rounds                                             99231 – 99233 Discharge codes                                                      99238 (≤30 min) · 99239 (>30 min)Outpatient postpartum                                 99212 – 99215 + modifier TH Telehealth modifier                                        Modifier 95 or GT · POS 02 or 10                                                                             NOT a separate 98000     code set Same-day rule                                                           Postpartum E/M cannot be billed on the                                                                              same calendar date as the delivery Calendar definition                                        Midnight to midnight Multi-provider same-day                                    Delivery code covers regardless of                                                                                       which group provider roundsWorkflow fix                                                    Timestamps · billing hard stop · daily                                                                                    reconciliationRESOURCES BLOCK Save your seat: Live OB/GYN Global Codes Update Webinar (July 7, 2026, 4:00 PM ET) · eligibility.natrevmd.com/obgyn-global-updates-webinar Book a 1:1 with Dr. Signorelli · calendly.com/heather-natrevmd/ Practice Revenue Leak Scorecard · eligibility.natrevmd.com/nrm-revenue-scorecard-v3 Payment Posting Audit Checklist · eligibility.natrevmd.com/payment-posting-checklist RECOVER Diagnostic Quiz · natrevmd.com/quiz Series Part 3 (EP191): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/191-labor-management-is-no-longer-invisible/id1624182351?i=1000775009191

How separate is the cognition in our heads from cognition with our bodies, our tools, our communities and our ecosystems? What is participatory sense making and why is our world becoming less and less disposed to doing it? What does connecting cognitively with the world beyond our own bodies do for our sense making, and so for the future of our species?In this episode we have the intriguing topic of extended cognition to explore, and in particular the field of participatory sense-making. So we get into the extended component of the 5E's model of embodied cognition; how our technologies, including AI, are much more influential on our cognition than mere tools that we set aside after use; we talk about our co-dependence on the natural world, and what happens to cognition and our society when our sense of “kinship” with it is lost; And we get into detail on the crucial process of participatory sense making, and how important it is to arrive to consensus rather than getting bogged down in polarisation, which in turn allows us to decide on urgent solutions as a species.Fortunately these are the exact specialisations of our guest, psychologist, cognitive scientist and philosopher at the University of British Columbia, Rebecca Todd. With a background also in neuroscience, she's authored nearly 100 academic papers, whilst her substack hosts her much loved writings for the general What we discuss:00:00 Intro.06:05 Extended cognition defined.08:45 Distributed cognition - Edward Hutchins.09:00 Attention, learning and memory are all distributed.10:00 Can we identify the cognitive boundary between self and other?14:30 Heidegger's warning about undermining the influence of technology.17:00 We give our tools too much credit.19:00 Large Language Model's effect on extended cognition.23:00 Individualistic, extractive, competitive motivations for technology.24:00 Self AS relationship rather than IN relationship - Dr. Yuri Celidwen.28:10 Non-verbal communication.29:46 Feedback loops between nature and our minds.33:50 Connection to nature and mental health.37:20 Belonging and ‘kinship' with the natural world.39:45 Objects can have personality - Object personality Synesthesia.44:20 Risk of appropriation, when applying indigenous ideas of ‘belonging'.46:50 The ‘Trim Tab' analogy — small interventions can lead to big changes in direction, Greg Watson.53:15 Participatory Sense-making explained.57:30 Shifts happen before and after moments of synchrony.59:30 Conditions required for participatory sense-making.01:02:20 The 4 R's: Reciprocity, Respect, responsibility and relevance.01:03:05 Neurodivergence: bridging the way we see the world differently.01:12:15 The new lack of bandwidth for complexity and nuance - information overload.01:15:30 Creating the time and space needed to do participatory sense-making.01:19:30 Food together is a magical ingredient.01:23:30 Openness and listening can be trained.01:24:20 Is consensus necessary.01:29:10 Tolerance of diversity rather than unified consensus.References:Beck Todd Substack, “Towards an ecology of mind”Andy Clarke and David Chalmers, “Extended Cognition” paperEdward Hutchins - Distributed Cognition paper.Fernando Rosas - Statistical boundaries between agents.Karen McClean - SPIN Lab (human-robot interactions through the sense of touch)Shirley Turcotte - Indigenous Focusing-oriented Therapy (IFOT)“Participatory Sense-making with the More than Human World” With Yuri Celidwen.An interview with Dr. Greg Watson - Ex US agricultural ministerHannah De Jaegher & Ezequial Di Poalo, “Participatory Sensemaking, An enactive approach to social cognition”.

What if falling asleep has less to do with forcing your mind to be quiet, and more to do with giving it a gentle place to land? In this deeply calming conversation, Darin sits down with author, meditation teacher, and creator of the wildly successful Nothing Much Happens sleep podcast, Kathryn Nicolai. With more than 200 million downloads, Kathryn has helped millions of people quiet anxious minds, overcome insomnia, and rediscover rest through the ancient power of storytelling. Together they explore the neuroscience of storytelling, why our brains crave safe narratives before sleep, the role of the Default Mode Network in anxiety, how sensory-rich stories calm the nervous system, and why creating inner safety may be one of the most powerful wellness practices available. Kathryn also shares the moving personal story that inspired her to finally pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a writer after the death of a close friend, and how that decision changed millions of lives. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that healing doesn't always come through doing more, it often begins by feeling safe enough to simply rest. What You'll Learn Why storytelling naturally calms the nervous system How Nothing Much Happens grew into a global sleep phenomenon The neuroscience behind sensory-rich storytelling Why anxious minds need a "safe job" before sleep How bedtime stories shift the brain out of the Default Mode Network The connection between storytelling, meditation, and nervous system regulation Why creativity begins with feeling psychologically safe Kathryn's powerful story of pursuing her dream after losing a close friend How beginner's mind and play unlock creativity Why perfectionism keeps people from living fully How restorative storytelling helps trauma survivors feel safe Why cultivating internal safety transforms every area of life Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Alchemist Paint and creating healthier homes 00:03:25 – Introducing Kathryn Nicolai 00:04:04 – The neuroscience of sleep and storytelling 00:05:27 – Kathryn's journey from yoga teacher to sleep pioneer 00:06:37 – Learning to soothe herself through bedtime stories 00:07:51 – Launching Nothing Much Happens 00:08:35 – Why storytelling became a universal sleep solution 00:09:22 – Stories as tools for healing and transformation 00:10:20 – Why storytelling is ancient medicine 00:11:08 – Community, connection, and feeling safe 00:12:30 – Why podcasts satisfy our need for human connection 00:13:19 – How success transformed Kathryn's creativity 00:14:07 – The dying friend's message that changed her life forever 00:15:40 – Discovering confidence through creative practice 00:17:02 – Why fear keeps us from pursuing our dreams 00:18:18 – Millions of lives changed through one bold decision 00:19:32 – New creative projects and expanding the vision 00:20:23 – Writing On the Street Where You Live 00:21:35 – Sponsor: Shakeology 00:23:22 – Technology, phones, and meeting people where they are 00:24:19 – Building a community through storytelling 00:25:04 – Why play may be the shortest path to transformation 00:26:59 – What true psychological safety really means 00:28:23 – Creating stories where everyone belongs 00:29:30 – Cultivating internal safety instead of waiting for it 00:30:47 – Restorative witnessing and rewriting old narratives 00:31:48 – Planting hopeful stories into the subconscious 00:32:31 – Powerful listener stories and healing through sleep 00:33:38 – Helping children, trauma survivors, and hospice patients 00:35:15 – Letting go of perfectionism 00:36:34 – Why comparison steals joy 00:38:07 – The trap of endless self-optimization 00:39:17 – Beginner's mind and giving yourself permission to try 00:41:03 – Escaping subconscious programming 00:42:34 – Dreaming bigger than you've ever dreamed before 00:44:15 – Why Kathryn became passionate about sleep 00:47:05 – Creating a softer place for the human mind 00:48:26 – Finding the gap—and having the courage to fill it 00:50:19 – The role Kathryn's parents played in building confidence 00:53:04 – Designing stories that naturally quiet the mind 00:55:11 – Why sensory details help us become present 00:56:20 – Safety, tears, and nervous system release 00:57:20 – Speaking the language of the body 00:58:03 – The future of Nothing Much Happens 01:00:07 – Helping people reconnect through storytelling 01:02:49 – Meditation, observation, and calming the mind 01:04:13 – New books, the upcoming app, and final reflections 01:05:05 – Closing thoughts Thank You to Our Sponsors: Shakeology: Get 15% off with code DARINO1BODI at Shakeology.com.

Through storytelling, imagination, sensory awareness, and gentle presence, we can interrupt anxious thought loops, cultivate inner safety, and reconnect with the creativity, peace, and wonder that have always lived within us. Sometimes the most profound healing begins not by doing more, but by allowing ourselves to simply be." 

What if the biggest obstacle to your health, happiness, and success isn't your diet, your habits, or even your circumstances—but your nervous system? In this powerful compilation episode, Darin brings together some of the most transformative insights from several of his most impactful solo episodes on neuroscience, nervous system regulation, meditation, behavior change, human connection, trauma healing, and purposeful living.

Real transformation doesn't begin by forcing yourself to change—it begins by creating the conditions where change becomes natural."

For decades, we've been told to fear the sun. Avoid it. Cover up. Stay indoors. Apply sunscreen constantly. But what if one of the most powerful forces shaping human health has been misunderstood? In this eye-opening conversation, Darin Olien sits down with award-winning journalist and author Rowan Jacobsen to explore the surprising science of sunlight, longevity, vitamin D, cardiovascular health, immune regulation, circadian rhythms, and the unintended consequences of our growing fear of the sun. Drawing from decades of research and Rowan's extensive investigation for his new book, they unpack why sun exposure is linked to lower rates of chronic disease, how sunlight influences everything from blood pressure to inflammation, why vitamin D supplementation isn't the same as sunlight, and how modern indoor lifestyles may be creating what researchers call "biological darkness." This conversation challenges conventional wisdom and offers a more nuanced, science-backed understanding of our relationship with the sun.     What You'll Learn Why sunlight may be one of the most misunderstood health factors today The surprising connection between sun exposure and longevity How sunlight impacts blood pressure and cardiovascular health Why vitamin D supplements are not the same as sunlight The discovery of sunlight-triggered compounds beyond vitamin D How nitric oxide production lowers blood pressure Why sunlight plays a critical role in immune regulation The concept of "biological darkness" and modern indoor living How sunlight regulates circadian rhythms, sleep, and recovery Why skin tone dramatically changes sunlight requirements The dangers of both overexposure and underexposure Practical guidelines for developing a healthier relationship with the sun     Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Bite Toothpaste Bits 00:02:50 – Introducing Rohan Jacobsen 00:03:22 – Why we've been taught to fear the sun 00:04:02 – Rohan's new book and questioning conventional wisdom 00:05:02 – How evolutionary biology challenges the anti-sun narrative 00:08:14 – The MIT fellowship that changed everything 00:09:13 – The blood pressure studies that sparked his investigation 00:10:15 – Sun exposure, longevity, and chronic disease 00:11:19 – Why skin cancer isn't the whole story 00:13:04 – Science, reductionism, and missing the bigger picture 00:14:16 – The surprising mortality tradeoff of avoiding sunlight 00:17:01 – Understanding sensible sun exposure 00:18:24 – Vitamin D and what supplements miss 00:19:44 – Twenty different compounds produced by sunlight 00:21:06 – Nitric oxide and blood pressure regulation 00:23:03 – The skin as an observatory 00:24:24 – Biological darkness and life indoors 00:26:13 – Sponsor: Manna Vitality 00:28:11 – Circadian rhythms and the power of daylight 00:30:11 – Lux levels and why indoor light isn't enough 00:32:02 – The epidemic of biological darkness 00:33:42 – Sunlight, inflammation, and chronic disease 00:35:33 – Multiple sclerosis and the sunlight connection 00:36:10 – Why humans constantly overcorrect 00:38:05 – Sun exposure as exercise for your skin 00:39:53 – Stress adaptation and resilience 00:42:20 – Practical guidelines for healthy sun exposure 00:43:24 – Why burning is the real danger 00:44:06 – Skin tone, melanin, and individualized recommendations 00:46:03 – Why darker skin requires more sun exposure 00:46:51 – Australia's evolving sunlight guidelines 00:48:16 – Vitamin D production and skin pigmentation 00:49:30 – Darin's personal relationship with the sun 00:51:11 – Training your skin for resilience 00:52:00 – Reclaiming joy and confidence in sunlight 00:53:24 – Seasonal darkness and modern life 00:54:19 – Challenging outdated health narratives 00:55:57 – Rohan's work with cacao and medicinal plants 00:57:00 – The endocannabinoid system and cacao 00:57:58 – Standing in truth and questioning assumptions 00:58:30 – Final thoughts and gratitude     Thank You to Our Sponsors Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order Manna Vitality: Go to mannavitality.com/ and use code DARIN12 for 12% off your order.     Join the SuperLife Community Get Darin's deeper wellness breakdowns — beyond social media restrictions: Weekly voice notes Ingredient deep dives Wellness challenges Energy + consciousness tools Community accountability Extended episodes Join for $7.49/month → https://patreon.com/darinolien     Find More from Rowan Jacobsen Website: rowanjacobsen.com Instagram: @unrealrowanjacobsen Book: In Defense of Sunlight     Find More from Darin Olien: Website: darinolien.com Instagram: @darinolien Book: Fatal Conveniences Platform & Products: superlife.com New Show: Roadmap to Happiness     Key Takeaway "The sun is not simply a source of vitamin D—it's a master regulator of human biology. From blood pressure and inflammation to sleep, immunity, cognition, and longevity, sunlight acts as a critical environmental signal that helps orchestrate countless systems throughout the body. The question isn't whether we should fear the sun or worship it. The question is whether we've forgotten how to live in relationship with one of the very forces that helped shape us."
