Choosing who to commit to isn't just about attraction or chemistry—it's about alignment in values, emotional health, and the ability to grow together. But what are the signs that it's time to lock it down? In this episode, Justin and Abi explore the essential markers of a thriving relationship—like emotional resilience, shared core values, the ability to repair after conflict, and a mutual commitment to growth. They share candid stories from their own relationship, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how they navigated misaligned expectations, shifting values, and the fears that come with commitment. If you've ever wondered whether your relationship has what it takes to last—or if you're already married and want to strengthen your foundation—this conversation offers grounded, practical insight to help you evaluate, grow, and build something that can actually go the distance.

Coastal wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems on our planet. They are a boon for plants, animals, and people alike. However, sea level rise is changing these ecosystems and the communities that rely on them. Join me and Dr. Keryn Gedan as we explore the links between sea level rise, wetland migration, and ghost forests and learn how communities are bracing themselves for adapting to these changes.

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episode of Coronation Street shown between the 4th and the 8th August (Episodes #11,635 - 11,640). This week's trip to the cobbles saw Dev booted and turquoise-suited for his wedding to Bernie – and naturally, it wouldn't be a Weatherfield wedding without a few dramatic curveballs thrown in, would it? Vomiting quads! A break-in at Number 7! An asthma attack at the altar! And one very big revelation from Aadi that puts a serious dampener on Dev's big day... Elsewhere, Todd uncovers some rather shocking skeletons in Theo's closet, leaving us not wondering 'if' he'll end up on the receiving end of a knuckle sandwich from his new fella – but 'when'. Meanwhile, Abi and Carl continue their hotel hook-ups, Jenny turns her attention to a rather unexpected new man, and Carla and Lisa settle into life at Number 6. Up next on the podcast, it's the Kabin, with some good news for overseas viewers wanting to catch Corrie early, then after another chunk of listener feedback, we share our thoughts on some very spoilery casting news that broke this week - and we're pretty flippin' excited! Street Talk - 00:11:38 The Kabin - 02:28:42 Listener Feedback - 02:38:37 Kabin Extra - 3:05:03

This podcast covers episodes 11,635 to 11,640. Abi and Carl throw caution to the wind as they embark on a steamy tryst in a room of a hotel owned by Abi's sister-in-law. Sally and Tim are concerned when they discover bruises on Shanice's arms. Carla and Swain move into number six and immediately have themselves a lodger. Theo and Todd are excited when the flat above the Corner Shop becomes available. Tracy and Steve reach a truce in their divorce settlement. After fixing a leaky O ring, George is seen in a new light by Jenny. As the wedding approaches, Auntie Rani continues to look down her nose at the whole affair. Aadi shouldn't drink. Sarah makes things worse. Ryan has nightmares of Victorian dolls.

They're like, I don't know what I want. You know that is brand slaughter, right? Because you're now pushing the decision back on the person who doesn't know what they need in the first place, and they don't know what their options are. So what are they going to do? They're not gonna do anything, right, so that, that creates brand slaughter. Lesley Logan 0:23  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 1:02  Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the intuitive convo I have with David Corbin in our last episode. If you have not yet listened to that one, you should go listen to that one. It's really fun. It's hilarious.Brad Crowell 1:18  Fascinating conversation. Lesley Logan 1:19  The way it started is quite hilarious. Brad Crowell 1:21  The way it started he's talking about, when you, when you said, you know, who are you and what do you rock at? He said, well, you know, my, my late mother could never describe, you know, what I do for a living, and she thought I just laundered money as my job.Lesley Logan 1:37  But also, like, I forget, because in the episode, do we discover how he got on the show in the episode?Brad Crowell 1:44  No. Lesley Logan 1:45  No, okay.Brad Crowell 1:46  I came into the room afterwards. So for those of you who are wondering. Lesley Logan 1:48  Because I think we talked about it in the episode. Brad Crowell 1:48  Well, okay, okay, I'm actually going to share a little bit about that as we get further into this episode. So hang on. Stick around. We'll talk about how did we connect with David Corbin in the first place? Today. Lesley Logan 2:04  Is August 7th 2025 and today's days were not really aligned with the Be It pod message. So we're looking at tomorrow, August 8th, where it will be International Allyship Day. So International Allyship Day is celebrated annually on August 8th. This holiday dedicates the day to celebrating promoting the power of allyship across the globe. On this unique day, we come together to recognize the importance of standing up for one another, fostering inclusivity and building bridges of support and understanding. Dictionary.com defines allyship as a status or role of a person who advocates and actively works for the inclusion of a marginalized or politicized group in all areas of society, not as a member of that group, but in solidarity with its struggles and point of view and under its leadership. Genuine allyship does not come with special recognition. Do not get awards for confronting issues people have to live with every day. Everyday we should be thinking about this, because it's getting harder and harder for people to see other people as human and deserving, and being worthy of living and having a life that they can have access to health care and housing. And, you know, I just it's.Brad Crowell 3:17  I think, I think, I think we need to go one step higher than that. Lesley Logan 3:21  Okay, let's do it. Brad Crowell 3:22  When you have, when you have leaders in a position of power that are using derogatory language to anybody, towards anybody, it gives other people permission to hold that view. And what's happened in our society, in America right now, with the people who are in power is that they have no regard for anybody else, other than themselves, and so they're using language that is inflammatory and dangerous to be quite honest. Lesley Logan 3:50  Well, themselves and their donors. They do care about who (inaudible). Brad Crowell 3:54  I don't think they care about their donors. They only care about their donors' money. They don't care about anyone except for themselves. The that when they when you use inflammatory language, it creates division in our society, across the board, it creates fear. It also gives permission for people to hold judgmental views or give excuses for other people who are doing terrible things, right? And, you know, I don't, I don't think that everything was like, figured out 10 years ago either, you know, before we had a president who didn't give a shit. But I, but I, you know, in the sense that, like, maybe before, we were nice on the surface and racist underneath, you know, but, but, but now it's like, all out in the open, and people are openly, you know, the vitriol is killing me. It's just so frustrating because there's no, it's not that niceties are the right thing. There's no, there's no respect for human dignity, right? And so even though we disagree with other people, it doesn't change the fact that they are people. Right? Except now we are changing our perspectives on that, and we're alienating others. So, you know, whether that is, you know, a whether that's politically or, what did we say here, marginalized, politicized group or a member of society, right? So it could be political, you know, rhetoric, or it could be a marginalized part of society, you know, or it could be racism, or it could be another whole culture or another whole country, you know, it doesn't matter.Lesley Logan 5:32  Yeah, it's really, it's really, can be really frustrating. I had headaches. My, I was saying, we're sitting at a gym and I said, oh, I'm not getting stuff at Target. My dad goes, why? And I said, well, you know, they are not supportive of DEI and my dad goes, what's DEI? And I said, okay, well, explaining what DEI was and I said, you bought under DEI, you would be an older worker, which, it's harder to get a job. You are also a veteran. Like, like, that's DEI, making sure that you are treated with what you're like what we're supposed to be treated with like, that's part of it. Like, I'm DEI, I'm a female business owner. Now, do we have other privileges? Of course we do. But that doesn't mean that they're like what people, I think, don't understand is how, is how there are the people that they're thinking that they dislike, or that they're creating words around so they don't have to think that they're worthy so much of if they had the access and the rights, you would have better access and rights. You know that we're recording this right now, when the government is trying to get rid of Medicaid, and they have been lying to people, up and down all around that they're not getting rid of Medicaid, they're getting rid of it. And here's what happens, what that means is, if Medicaid doesn't exist, you think that just because you're on Medicaid, it won't affect you, it absolutely will, because your hospital usually runs off the funds of Medicaid, and so if the hospital doesn't have those funds, you might not have a hospital near you. So just because you're not on Medicaid doesn't mean you're not affected. And I think, like, why I like this day so much is like, we have to stop thinking that, because we're different than people, like, not only do they not matter, but like, like, it's not gonna affect us if nothing, if bad things happen to them. Everything is connected.Brad Crowell 7:07  Everything is connected. Lesley Logan 7:08  Everything is connected. Brad Crowell 7:13  Like, people are like, like, to put a very specific example on it, you know, with with the the abduction of farm workers that are happening in the fields. You know how you think that's not going to affect your food supply? It might not affect it today, but give it a couple of months, you know, like when, when ICE camps out and puts up a raid in, you know, in a community, guess who doesn't go to work? Anybody who is afraid. Anybody is afraid. Like they they arrested half the people at a meat packing plant, and the next day, it's not like the other half just decided to show up. No. Only 20% of the original workforce showed up for work the following day, because the rest of the people were like, What if they come and arrest me? Lesley Logan 7:58  Yeah. And so that means your meat is gonna be more expensive. It affects you. Brad Crowell 8:02  Affects us all. Lesley Logan 8:03  Everyone. And so, like, I, I really think that we need to take, I don't care what your religion is, or if you believe in religion at all, if we actually just follow, like, there that's a human fucking being, and they are worthy of living, and they should have dignity and respect, you know, and we would never want for them that to happen to them if it happened to us. Like, if you just look at that going, if you ever think, I'm glad that's not me, that is a sign that you are sitting in a bit more privilege, and you probably should just look at like, what can I do? We can't solve the world's problems. I'm not elected. You're not elected. If this fucking bill passes, we might not have elections. But like, we have to ask, What can I do? How can I change this? Can I be supportive of the people in my what's my bubble of influence? Right? And so not, I guess we'll get off our pedestal here in a second. But like, truly, part of being it till you see it, it will come to you if you love others, and you care about others, not people-pleasing, it's not overworking. It's none of that. It's just like, if you love others, if you love yourself, you can love others, and if you love others, like the world does change. And I think maybe what I'm really saying is like, what the fuck why don't people love themselves? Because if they love themselves, they'd see other people as human beings too. Brad Crowell 9:18  Yeah. Lesley Logan 9:20  We're still on tour, guys, I promise you, we're having a good time. In between the podcast on the news, I promise you, I promise you, we're hugging people. We're having a good time. Brad Crowell 9:33  Yeah, August 7th, that means that we are in Canada. We're actually probably in Kamloops today. Tomorrow, we got a day off. We're going to Banff. We're gonna be up by Lake Louise and seeing the beautiful lake up there. And then we're gonna go the next day to Calgary and teach, before coming back in to the US in Montana, where we're gonna go see the beauty of Glacier National Park. I've always wanted to see it. I'm so excited that we're gonna go up there. And then, yeah. We're gonna hit McCall Idaho on the way back home and teach.Lesley Logan 10:03  I tell you that my family, really, my family went to the tour, and they said, my aunt, my aunt, my auntie and uncle Mike, and they saw the tour, they saw we're in McCall, Idaho. And my uncle goes, you're gonna, you're gonna want to move there. And I was like, oh, like, a vacation home? He's like, no, like, you're gonna want to move there. And I'm like, I don't love the snow, so a vacation home. Got it. Noted. I'll save up.Brad Crowell 10:24  Well, I can't wait to see how beautiful it is.Lesley Logan 10:26  All this to say, like, come to McCall.Brad Crowell 10:28  Come to McCall, yeah, and then meet us in Salt Lake, and then we'll be back in Vegas. Lesley Logan 10:32  Oh, my God. What if people caravaned with us? You could do that.Brad Crowell 10:37  Yes, they could. I mean, we can have like like a roadie tour bus situation with, like, a band, going from show to show, it's possible. Lesley Logan 10:46  Oh, my God. Oh, my God. What's that movie?Brad Crowell 10:48  Oh, I know which one you mean. Lesley Logan 10:50  It was glasses. Almost Famous. Brad Crowell 10:53  Yes, that's the one. That's the one. Lesley Logan 10:55  I want, I want someone in great coat to compete with me in my great coat. Anyways, so we'll be, we're still on tour. We hope to see you. We're gonna come back from tour, unpack. Brad Crowell 11:04  Oh, actually, there's still time if you want to participate in the tour, but you're not there, the Calgary stops.

It's a really good time. So go to crowsnestretreats.com, crowsnestretreats.com. Before we get into this convo you have with David Corbin, however, let's dig into this audience question that we had. I couldn't actually get the entire name of the person from the screenshot, so I'm pretty sure it was Rosie B something, something, numbers, numbers from YouTube asked, hi Lesley, I've heard you say that a spine corrector can be a good addition to your mat to your mat practice if you don't have space or the budget for the big equipment at your home. Can you, or have you talked about the different options for barrels or arcs? I did not realize that there were so many different choices, especially regarding the different options with angles and depths of the well. Great question. Lesley Logan 14:02  Yeah, I love this. We do have a video on, like, all the equipment, like, literally every piece of equipment. And I don't know if we did a video just on the barrels, but I know that we have, I know that our mastery and the basics on the barrels, you could hear a lot about barrels in that workshop that's on OPC, but let me just chat a little bit. So the spine corrector, if you could only buy one barrel, is the best one of the bunch, because you have two options for the extension on that one, and it allows you to do all the things you could do on a spine corrector. If you had a small barrel, that's nice if you have extra room. That and also it's really only for those who are have a tighter back or are a bit more fun sized, the smaller barrels for that. Brad Crowell 14:50  Yeah, we don't have a YouTube video. Lesley Logan 14:52  On just barrels. Brad Crowell 14:52  On just just. Lesley Logan 14:53  But there's that one video that has, like every single piece of equipment, it took us forever. We filmed every single piece. Brad Crowell 15:00  Yeah, so we've got a couple. One is called Pilates for Beginners: How to Choose the Right Equipment. We have.Lesley Logan 15:08  It's, it's another one. Anyways, I'll keep talking. It's another one. So it's, it's, why.Brad Crowell 15:14  Types of Pilates Equipment. Lesley Logan 15:16  Yes, that's the one. Brad Crowell 15:16  Pilates reformers, ladder, Pilates ladder, Tower and Guillotine. Lesley Logan 15:17  That's the one. Brad Crowell 15:17  I think a best Pilates equipment to improve your practice. That's reformer versus chair. Lesley Logan 15:27  No, this is really boring now. Brad Crowell 15:29  Yeah, good times. Anyway, just go onto our YouTube channel.Lesley Logan 15:31  Well, you didn't make it sound like it's easy to find. It exists and it literally is every single, we do a Reformer, a mat, we do the High Chair, we do the Cadillac, we do all the barrels. I explained each one, so, but my point is, if you can only buy one, get the Spine Corrector. If you're on the fun-sized, you can skip the Spine Corrector if you can only buy one thing and get the small barrel, but you will be limited a little bit. If you can get two things, and you're not so fun-sized or tight, then a Spine Correct and a Ladder Barrel, but a Ladder Barrel does take up space, and you specifically liked that I was saying that a Spine Corrector could help enhance your practice, your mat practice, if you don't have a lot of space. And the reason I say that is because you can do the arm series on there, the leg series on there, and then do your mat practice. Or you could do your mat practice and do your arm series and leg series. You could do swimming. You could do teaser. You could do a sported teaser. You're having a hard time getting your hips overhead. The Spine Corrector is really, really helpful for that. So I really do love that. And so I know I go into great detail about these things in our Mastering the Basics on the Barrels workshop on OPC, unfortunately, it's not free, but if you buy our Barrels Flashcards, just a little hint, there's a way to get that workshop on a discount (inaudible) barrels. And then I particularly like the Contrology brand because it is based off of the original pieces. And it's like they went through a lot of effort to get. Brad Crowell 16:44  To dig those up. Lesley Logan 16:45  To dig them up. And it's really amazing.Brad Crowell 16:46  Well, what you can actually do is go to opc.me/perks, opc.me/perks when you're on there, scroll down halfway, and you'll see a list of all the equipment that we recommend. And we actually have links to multiple arcs and barrels on that list that you know so you can go see the ones that Lesley did.Lesley Logan 16:47  The Contrology Spine Corrector is my ultimate favorite. Brad Crowell 17:10  Yeah, the Contrology is the one that we have at our house. But not everybody, you know, wants the bigger, heavier one. So we do have a couple of the arcs on there. Lesley Logan 17:19  Oh, well, we do have those and I will just say the reason I like a Contrology is actually do like the weight. The foam ones are great. If you are a studio teaching a class and you have to have a bunch of they're lightweight, they're easy to stack. But when you are doing your exercise, you have to put like little pads down. Oftentimes they slide around, or they could be too light, and they might move. And so I prefer the Contrology, and I know it's more than the East Coast arc and East Coast foam, and that's what everyone wants, but I'm just saying it's a little more comfortable to have a little little cushion. Anyways, you can send your questions in to BeItPod.com/questions you can text us at 309055534, still haven't secured the number that we can say, Be It Pod, but we'll get we're working on it. We just discovered it 20 minutes ago when we recorded the last episode. So it's coming. It's coming. Send your wins in, send your questions in to BeItPod.com/questions.Brad Crowell 18:10  Okay, welcome back now. Let's talk about Mr. David Corbin. David Corbin is a Wall Street Journal bestselling author of 14 books, a TEDx speaker and an award winning inventor in healthcare and wellness. And he's an ex, he describes himself as an ex-Woodstock attendee. Lesley Logan 18:29  I know, the original. Brad Crowell 18:30  He's also a father, grandfather and husband. He is known as the illuminator. David specializes in helping individuals and companies face it, follow it and fix it, transform challenges into opportunities, which is pretty amazing, actually. His work centers on taking ownership, accessing your inner wisdom and learning to tune into the you to achieve prosperity and fulfillment. Not included in our mini little bio that we wrote here is that David also, his inventor stuff. He created this thing called the Rejuvenation Station, and it's a box, okay? It's like a phone booth, but it's a little bit bigger, because you sit down inside of it, okay, but it's portable, and you can move it around. And you go in and you throw on some headphones, and you immerse yourself in another world for just a few minutes, right? Five to 10 minutes. There's like. Lesley Logan 19:19  I want one of these at the airport. Brad Crowell 19:22  Oh, it would be, I mean, where he, where he's been selling them into is hospitals for the staff. Lesley Logan 19:29  Oh, yeah. Brad Crowell 19:30  Because the staff never gets a moment to take a breather. And they could take five minutes and they come out and like he, he's, he said he's been able to measure their their stats before they go in and out of this thing. And he said, you know, where, where they're, you know, always in a high stress environment, this can help them with longevity of their job, of their enjoyment, of their life, of their of themselves. And actually, that's how I met him, when I was at an event, he had a booth, and he had the Rejuvenation Station there. And I just started, it was like, the end of the day, everyone was milling around or leaving, and I just started talking to him. And it was so, like, it was an easy conversation. Obviously, he's like, he's very, very intelligent. He's like, tells a lot of stories, a lot of fun to be around. And we started talking about his tool that he made, built and yeah, that's how we connected in the first place.Lesley Logan 20:21  It was, okay, and I think I said this on the pod, I usually pre-interview anyone who comes on. If I don't, it's because, like, we already know each other, we're friends, or I was on their pod and I liked them. You know what I mean? Like, it's very, it's, it's not often that, like, there's just someone on my calendar I've never, I know nothing about. And so I'm looking at like, the updates on his like file for the pod, and I see a business card, and I'm like, this looks like Brad's thumb. I think it's Brad's thumb. Who is this guy? And he didn't know you. He didn't remember.Brad Crowell 20:56  No, he didn't remember, he shouldn't have even known my name, but like, he might remember us talking, maybe if he saw my face but like, yeah.Lesley Logan 21:01  It was, it was hilarious, and it was so I think it was after all of it was said and done, the whole thing was done I hit, ended the record of the interview, and he and I are chatting, and Brad comes in, because I think it was laughing or whatever, and that's we discovered that you met him and like, you should be on our show. And he's like, okay.Brad Crowell 21:19  Yes. Lesley Logan 21:20  Anyways, I'm glad it worked out. I really liked a lot of things he had to say, I think this is an episode that there's a lot of nuggets. Brad Crowell 21:29  A lot of nuggets. Lesley Logan 21:31  A lot of nuggets. And he said, you can't solve everything you face, but you can't solve anything unless you face it. And of course, like, isn't that so good?Brad Crowell 21:40  It's so obvious. But like, when you say it, you're like, oh, I, am I avoiding things? It's great.Lesley Logan 21:46  Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he, he said, believes his secret sauce is being awake, aware, alert, and that kind of, like, I think that that, like, probably what led to his mindset around it helped others avoid when that's where he uses his model, face, it, follow it, fix it. You know. And so, and when you think about that in your in anything that you're doing, face it, follow it, fix it. And then it allows you to take more action. It allows you to stop avoiding things. It can be used in personal life and professional life. It can be used in a project that doesn't go well, or a conversation that didn't go well. I think it's just brilliant.Brad Crowell 22:19  Yeah, it's, it's clear and concise. It's something that you can remember. When he was talking about how he works with these companies, he said that you can apply this personally to yourself, or you can apply it to a team or organization or company, face it, follow it, fix it, you know, and, and he had a bunch of examples that I, you know, I thought were really helpful. And he talked about one that, one company that he consulted for, that rhymes with schmamanos, I think, is what he said. And, you know, he said, you know, as they started to dig in, they started to realize that they're not a pizza company, they're a crisis management company. And he said, it all came down to how they answer the phone and what they recommend, and when they, when they, when they faced the problem they had, and they followed it, they started figuring out, then they fixed it, and that was a fix. And it's funny, because, you know, we tell that all the time, like, you are, you know, you're not, quote- unquote, just a Pilates teacher, you know, end quote, you're that's not enough. You know, that's like, people, first off, don't know what Pilates is. Second off, they.Lesley Logan 23:23  Not anymore. They used to, I used to think there would be a day when they know what it is, and now, no.Brad Crowell 23:27  I mean that, that aside, that's not the point. They have their preconceived notion of what Pilates is, okay? And so if you just say, oh, I'm a Pilates teacher, then you're trusting that they know what that actually means, right? As opposed to having a clear response of like, oh, I help such and such type of people do these things you know in their life through Pilates, now they're like, wow, I didn't know Pilates could help people like that, you know, and that and you described me. I want that for me, right? And so when you start to face it, follow it, fix it, you might actually have a whole new view on what it is that you do. You know, I thought that was pretty cool. Lesley Logan 23:27  I agree. I loved it. Brad Crowell 24:01  Yeah, one of the things that I really like, first off, he's very quippy, because he writes books, right? So he's got 14 books. So every book, you know, he tries to make a short, concise, punchy, right, memorable. And so, like, that's the kind of guy that, when you get him on a topic, and especially if he knows a lot about the topic, because he did a whole lot of research to write that book, you know, you're going to get these kinds of things. So one of his books he talks about, his Brand Slaughter. And I just started laughing, because, like, what a visual, right? You're slaughtering your brand, you know, but, but he talks about just simply actions that you're doing that are create, that are contradicting what you intended, or like they're they're not bringing around about the desired results and and you know, same thing, like you can apply the concept of brand slaughter to the what I was just talking about where they're answering the phone, and instead of the response being, oh, well, what kind of pizza do you want? They're like, I don't I don't know what I want. Instead of that, you know, that is brand slaughter, right? Because you're now pushing the decision back on this person who doesn't know what they need in the first place, and they don't know what their options are. So what are they going to do? They're not gonna do anything, right? So that that creates brand slaughter, as opposed to being suggestive and saying, oh, well, for people in your situation where it's chaos and you just need a decision right now, you should go with option number two. And then they get to say, that sounds great, because they just need help. What's option number two? And you can sell and, by the way, if you need this extra stuff, you can upsell them all that kind of a thing, right? So it's, he said, you're either living your brand or you're committing brand slaughter. You know. He said, when individuals or companies allow their brand or reputation be undermined or, quote-unquote, killed by actions or behaviors that do not align with their desired image. And, you know, he said he actually has all these acronyms and all this stuff. And he and he, like, he like, flipped through them, and I didn't even follow them at all. And you laughingly said, I've A.D.D. so I don't know what you just said, because I was stuck on the first one, but he said he created a following, the following flow, to teach companies and people how to maintain their own identity. IDB with the ABI to the SBI divided by the MBV. I don't remember, but basically he said, you take your intended brand descriptors, which is how you want to be described, and then you audit the brand integrity you're assessing if you are living up to your intended brand descriptor. So if this is what you say you're doing, are you actually doing it, right? So, and then the second, the third step is review your strategic brand initiative or SBI. So these are the actions taken to close the gap between your intentions and your actions, right? And then finally, you have, when you do those three steps, you're creating massive brand value, right? The result of consistently applying those three steps. So he said, everything you do is either living into how you want to be described, or it's not.Lesley Logan 27:14  Just like that. Brad Crowell 27:15  Just like that, we just solved it. Lesley Logan 27:17  Yep, and now sometimes we just need to hear like, not sugar coated in that way, you know.Brad Crowell 27:22  Yeah, fascinating. I mean. And he knows his stuff so well that he just like, bam, bam, bam, bam. Lesley Logan 27:27  I know he really did. And I was just like, come on. I was like, oh yeah, oh yeah, hold on. I'm still over here. What is that? And then acronyms are really hard for me to like, remember all of them? It's just like, not. Brad Crowell 27:38  I know, even the ones I just read, if I didn't have them in front of me, I'd be like, what?Lesley Logan 27:41  Yeah, no, I, and to be honest, also running in the back of my mind with my ADHD, was like, who is this man? I mean that, like, I loved the whole interview but the whole time I'm like, who the fuck is this guy? Why is he?Brad Crowell 28:00  I love that. I think that's so fun. Also, too, like, from when I met him to when the interview finally happened was months, like, six months more, I don't know, like, so, like, I read his name, and I was like, I know him but I can't remember.Lesley Logan 28:12  You met him, you went to, you went to that event, like, a year ago, it was summer of last year, and then I interviewed him like beginning of this year. So, it's definitely six months.Brad Crowell 28:16  So it was more than six months later. Yeah and fascinating. Well, anyway, stick around. We got a little bit more to dig into from David Corbin, so we'll be right back with those Be It Action Items. Brad Crowell 28:36  Okay, welcome back. Let's talk about those Be It Action Items from David Corbin, we've got bold executable, intrinsic or targeted action items that we could take away from your convo with him. David shared a metaphor, a metaphorical exercise he introduced during his TEDx talk using imaginary LSD, which I think is hilarious, because the whole time he's talking groovy and talking about being a hippie and going to Woodstock, and he's like, yeah, I didn't save he told everyone in the TEDx, 500 people, he's like, I saved y'all some LSD from when I went to Woodstock, which, who knows when that even was.Lesley Logan 29:07  It's like the 60s babe. Brad Crowell 29:09  Right, well, because they also had a new one in the 90s. So I'm assuming he was talking about the 60s. Lesley Logan 29:17  The 60s. The 90s was burnt down to the ground. Brad Crowell 29:20  It doesn't change the fact he could have been there. But he said, he said, he said, you're going to take this imaginary LSD, and I don't know what he passed out, but he actually passed something out. So people, literally, I'm pretty sure they took something. Lesley Logan 29:22  It's like a little piece. I thought it's like a little piece of paper, isn't LSD, like a little paper? Brad Crowell 29:23  Like a tab, could be, I'm sure it comes in different forms. But anyway, he said you're going to, here's what's going to happen when you take this imaginary LSD, you're going to imagine that your business can talk back to you.Lesley Logan 29:44  Oh, because when you're on LSD.Brad Crowell 29:47  Yeah, things can happen. He said, so here's what you're going to ask your businessLesley Logan 29:50  We clearly have not done LSD, we have no idea what we're talking about. Brad Crowell 29:51  He said, ask your business. What do you need me to do and who do you need me to be? So he said, make two lists, job functions and character traits. What do you need me to do and who do you need me to be? He said, then get naked of ego. He actually said, just says, get naked, but not with your clothes off. That's, he said, that's the easy part. He said the hard part is get naked of your ego and rate yourself on a scale of one to 10 across those what do you need me to do and who do you need me to be? He said, identify the gaps and take actions to close them. So.Lesley Logan 29:54  Okay, LSD, definitely can like, be a little piece of paper or like a stamp. Brad Crowell 30:23  Oh, can be like a stamp. Lesley Logan 30:28  Yes, I do remember, like, during the day or years of like, be careful. Like someone gives you, like, a little sticker, it can stick on your tongue and dissolve. It can be in a pill form. I am seeing this, but it, like, a lot of it is like sheets of, like, wild colors and like, like, oh, do you remember the elephants in Winnie, the Pooh, the Heffalumps, the Heffalumps, the Heffalumps, yeah, the Heffalumps. I think they're called. They were kind of like spooky and weird. I think Winnie the Pooh is on LSD. Brad Crowell 31:03  Oh, yeah, you're right, Heffalump. Lesley Logan 31:05  Heffalumps. Brad Crowell 31:05  Heffalump. Lesley Logan 31:06  Heffalumps. Yeah. Looking at this, maybe he was on, maybe he took LSD in my cartoon. You know, they always sort of like supplementally, anyways, we are off topic. Brad Crowell 31:15  Well, okay, David Corbin did his TEDx Talk called Woodstock Wisdom in January of 2023, so you're welcome to go watch it. I'm sure it's a trip. Maybe pun intended, but he but he said when you can do this, when you can compare, when you can let go of your ego, and you can actually take rate yourself and then be able to take action on that you you can no longer complain about market conditions and competition. You take control of the differences, the distances, and you close those gaps that your business told you you need to close. He said, as you do, you increase your competence, which brings up your confidence, which brings up your competence, which brings up your confidence. And it's a cycle, you know. What about you? What about you? Lesley Logan 31:55  Okay, this is really fun, because he says he doesn't journal. And I was like, yeah, because I always tell people, like, don't journal, but we have the people who've said to journal since episode like 50 have done a really good job, because I tell them, you better tell us fucking journal. But he said he meditates. And I was like, okay, like, because I have a hard time meditating. And he said, so he shared his process. He said, you sit down with a piece of paper and you write an issue or question at the top. So piece of paper, issue or question at the top, you set your timer for 22 minutes, and then, while we're in a meditative state with a question at the top, you write with your eyes closed. And this allows the download of insights to come through from your unconscious mind and universal consciousness on to the paper. And so the goal is you dwell upon the question and you let your intuition provide answers. So because you can't see it, you can't self-edit. He must have great handwriting. Brad Crowell 32:52  No, I'm sure he's writing over top of his own stuff. It really doesn't matter. You can literally write in the same spot, right, because the point of it is not for you to go back and read it later. The point of it is to get it out of your head. Lesley Logan 33:04  Yeah. So he, well, it's kind of like Morning Pages, but with your eyes closed. So he said, the answer to everything you got is already within you. Don't tune into YouTube. Tune in to you. It's another quip. I just I was like, this is so much fun. This is a great interview. Who is he? Tune into you. You know a lot more than you give yourself credit for. And I just if you, if you really haven't listened to it, you've got to listen to it. I'm telling you I joke that I'm like, who is this guy? But, like, he's a bit like a 14 books, a great TEDx Talk.Brad Crowell 33:36  Fascinating. It's a really great conversation. It's fun to meet him in person.Lesley Logan 33:40  Even if you buy nothing out of his stuff. Like, if you just, like, listen over and over again to like the things he's saying you're you're going to, like, change your life. Because if you just think about, like, am I in alignment with my brand or am I curating brand slaughter or am I like, what if you could solve your problems with just writing it down and then writing it over the top with your eyes closed? I think this is really cool. Lesley Logan 34:01  So, I'm Lesley Logan. Brad Crowell 34:02  And I'm Brad Crowell. Lesley Logan 34:03  Thank you so much for listening to our pod.

Most of us think we're being observant when we're really just making snap judgments. Our brains are designed to make quick assumptions—to keep us safe—but in relationships, those assumptions can quietly erode connection. But what if there was a way to promote safety and strengthen the relationship? In this episode, Justin and Abi unpack the power of curiosity as an antidote to relational drama, disconnection, and unspoken resentment. They explore how misunderstandings show up in marriages, friendships, workplaces—even parenting—and how easy it is to misread someone's actions without ever checking in. Lastly they share how to implement curiosity in ways that are practical and easily doable no matter where you're at in the process. With humor, honesty, and actionable wisdom, this episode will help you slow down, ask better questions, and create more safety and clarity in your connections.

Large seed dispersers are disproportionately affected by human disturbances like habitat loss and poaching. At the same time, a disproportionate number of tropical tree species rely on animals for seed dispersal. What happens when these animals disappear from an area? Do forests suffer and how might this impact things like carbon cycling and climate? Join me and Dr. Evan Fricke as we explore these questions and more.

We're back from our holidays in France, all caught up on Corrie, and it's finally time for Episode #691 of the podcast, where we chat about what went on between the 25th July and the 1st August (Episodes #11,627 - 11,634) It's been a long time coming, but this week finally saw Abi and Carl giving into their desires and dropping their drawers for a seven-minute bunk up in the garage office. Whilst Abi rated the union 'cracking' and Carl certainly seemed pleased with himself, we can't say we're too pleased about the development ourselves - but is there really ANYONE in this storyline who's side we'd say we were on? Meanwhile, Theo's dark side emerges once more as he exerts his control over Todd. Get out while you can, man - Theo's REALLY not worth it! Also this week, Dee-Dee and James come to an agreement about Laila's parenting that's DEFINITELY not going to run into any issues, Sam gets all environment conscious and the mystery surrounding Becky Swain's death deepens... and we admit it - we're very much intrigued! Up next on the podcast, it's time for a trip to The Kabin, where we take a look at some of the pictures of Jack P Shepherd's wedding as well as a new piece of Corrie merch that's been produced for the 65th anniversary. Then, after a bumper feedback section, we talk about some pretty big and definitely spoilery cast news that broke a few days ago - you just know this is one we can't stay quiet about!

In this episode of the Engineering Enablement podcast, host Abi Noda is joined by Quentin Anthony, Head of Model Training at Zyphra and a contributor at EleutherAI. Quentin participated in METR's recent study on AI coding tools, which revealed that developers often slowed down when using AI—despite feeling more productive. He and Abi unpack the unexpected results of the study, which tasks AI tools actually help with, and how engineering teams can adopt them more effectively by focusing on task-level fit and developing better digital hygiene.Where to find Quentin Anthony: • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/quentin-anthony/• X: https://x.com/QuentinAnthon15Where to find Abi Noda:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abinoda In this episode, we cover:(00:00) Intro(01:32) A brief overview of Quentin's background and current work(02:05) An explanation of METR and the study Quentin participated in (11:02) Surprising results of the METR study (12:47) Quentin's takeaways from the study's results (16:30) How developers can avoid bloated code bases through self-reflection(19:31) Signs that you're not making progress with a model (21:25) What is “context rot”?(23:04) Advice for combating context rot(25:34) How to make the most of your idle time as a developer(28:13) Developer hygiene: the case for selectively using AI tools(33:28) How to interact effectively with new models(35:28) Why organizations should focus on tasks that AI handles well(38:01) Where AI fits in the software development lifecycle(39:40) How to approach testing with models(40:31) What makes models different (42:05) Quentin's thoughts on agents Referenced:DX Core 4 Productivity FrameworkZyphraEleutherAIMETRCursorClaudeLibreChatGoogle GeminiIntroducing OpenAI o3 and o4-miniMETR's study on how AI affects developer productivityQuentin Anthony on X: "I was one of the 16 devs in this study."Context rot from Hacker NewsTracing the thoughts of a large language modelKimiGrok 4 | xAI

Maid for Each Other by Lynn Painter https://www.amazon.com/Maid-Each-Other-Lynn-Painter/dp/0593638034 A millionaire and a house cleaner are a match maid in heaven in this sparkling new romantic comedy by Lynn Painter, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Happily Never After. As a professional cleaner, Abi Mariano never thought her apartment would have any sort of infestation, but because of a building-wide outbreak, she now needs somewhere to stay for a week. As a part-time student with two jobs, she doesn't have many options. Then the solution presents itself: the owner of the penthouse she cleans is out of town for the week. She normally wouldn't consider it, but he's literally never around (she hasn't even met him). It goes great…until one morning she finds two strangers in the kitchen. They're the parents of the penthouse owner and they seem to think they've heard all about Abi—not as their son's maid, but as his girlfriend. Declan Powell has always put his career first, working his way up to become an executive at his company, but he still has his sights set on the next level. When his parents mention that they met his girlfriend, “Abby,” he all but chokes on his escargot. As wonderful as it sounds that she was just darling, he doesn't actually have a girlfriend—he made her up to get everyone off his back. When Dex finds out who Abi really is, he makes her a proposition: pretend to date him, and he'll provide everything she needs during their little arrangement. What harm would it do? It's purely business, no pleasure…right?About the author Lynn Painter is the USA Today and New York Times Bestselling Author of BETTER THAN THE MOVIES.

Until only recently, treating Glioblastoma brain cancer with chemotherapy has not been achievable due to the blood brain barrier.  In today's Bindwaves episode, Dr. Michael Canney walks us through how Carthera developed a revolutionary method to deliver therapeutics to the brain utilizing an ultrasound system.  It is well known that the survival rate for Glioblastoma is 1 to 2 years.  Surgery tends to be the primary means to combat this horrible disease.  To improve these odds, an ultrasound implant is placed in the brain after the surgeon removes the tumor.  This implant, or mesh, contains an ultrasound transducer, which when activated during chemo treatments, disrupts the blood brain barrier thus allowing therapeutics to attach to the cancer cells.   Join us as Dr. Canney eloquently discusses the history of this treatment, Phase 1 and Phase 2 results, and their hopes for the Phase 3 trial. Support the showNew episodes drop every other Thursday everywhere you listen to podcasts.

Seed dispersal is a vital ecological process no matter what scale you look at. From the genetic diversity of plant populations to the impact of forests on climate, how plants move around the landscape and regenerate is one of the most important processes on Earth. So, what happens when plants lose seed their seed dispersers? How do things like poaching and habitat loss affect these ecological relationships? These are the kinds of questions that drive Dr. Therese Lamperty's research. Join us for a fascinating look at the challenges in studying what it means for plants and the ecosystems they comprise to lose their seed dispersers.

Ukrainā pēc piecus gadus ilga darba ir nomainīta valdība. Sīrijas dienvidos, kur šobrīd pēc asiņainām sadursmēm starp reliģiskajām kopienām – druziem un beduīniem iestājies saspīlējuma pilns miers. Pēc vēlēšanām Japānā ietekmi zaudējusi gadu desmitiem valdījusī Liberāldemokrātiskā partija. Aktualitātes komentē atvaļināts vēstnieks Gints Jegermanis un Latvijas Ārpolitikas institūta pētnieks un Latvijas transatlantiskās organizācijas valdes loceklis Sandis Šrāders. Druzi – cīņa par vietu zem Sīrijas saules Druzu identitātes pamatā ir reliģija, kas 11.gadsimtā radusies uz islāma bāzes, taču lielākoties netiek uzskatīta par tā novirzienu, un vairuma musulmaņu ieskatā druzi ir ticības atkritēji. Vislielākā druzu kopiena, vairāk nekā pusmiljons, mitinās Sīrijā, apmēram ceturtdaļmiljons – Libānā, apmēram 119 000 – Izraēlā, t.sk. Izraēlas anektētajās Golānas augstienēs. Sīrijā druzi koncentrējas valsts dienvidu rajonos un veido vairākumu Suveidas provincē. Spriedze, kas tradicionāli valda starp druziem un musulmaņiem, kopš Asada režīma krišanas jau vairākkārt izlauzusies uz āru bruņotās sadursmēs. Līdz šim nopietnākās cīņas  uzliesmoja 13. jūlijā kā konflikts starp druziem un viņiem līdzās dzīvojošajām islāmticīgajām arābu beduīnu grupām. Viss sācies ar kāda druzu tirgotāja sagūstīšanu un aplaupīšanu, un, lai arī sagūstītais vēlāk atbrīvots, druzi par atbildi nolaupījuši vairākus beduīnus, un šie incidenti drīz pārauguši nopietnās sadursmēs ar mīnmetēju un bruņutehnikas izmantošanu. Par cīņu smagumpunktu kļuva Suveidas pilsēta, vairums no kuras 70 000 iedzīvotāju ir druzi. Valdības spēki karadarbības zonā, kā apgalvo druzi, faktiski atbalstījuši beduīnus un izrēķinājušies ar druzu iedzīvotājiem. 14. jūlijā viens no druzu garīgajiem līderiem šeihs Hikmats al-Hidžri vērsās ar lūgumu pēc starptautiska atbalsta viņa kopienai, un nākamajā dienā Izraēlas gaisa spēki veica uzlidojumus Sīrijas armijas un beduīnu pozīcijām pie Suveidas, kā arī aizsardzības ministrijas un ģenerālštāba ēkām Damaskā. Pēc šiem uzlidojumiem valdības spēki atvilkās no Suveidas rajona, taču uzbrukumu izvērsa beduīni, kuriem pienāca papildspēki no attālākiem rajoniem. 19. jūlijā beduīnu vienībām izdevās ielauzties pilsētā, notika ielu cīņas, taču vēlāk Suveidas apkārtnē atgriezās valdības vienības, un beduīni atkāpās. Valdība izsludināja uguns pārtraukšanu, ko apstiprināja arī druzu un beduīnu pārstāvji. Nākamajās dienās cīņas pierima, tiek ziņots, ka pamiera vienošanās visumā tiekot ievērota. No Suveidas ir evakuēti visi tur dzīvojošie beduīnu klanu locekļi, apmēram 1500 cilvēku, bet kopumā, tiek lēsts, ka šīs krīzes rezultātā savus mājokļus konflikta zonā pametuši apmēram 130 000 cilvēku, kā druzu, tā musulmaņu. Japānas valdošo saulriets Pagājušajā svētdienā, 20. jūlijā, Japānas pilsoņi pārvēlēja pusi no divsimt četrdesmit astoņiem parlamenta augšnama – Padomdevēju palātas – deputātiem. Rezultāti lielā mērā apstiprina tendenci, kura jau iezīmējās pagājušā gada oktobrī notikušajās apakšnama – Pārstāvju palātas – vēlēšanās, proti: Japānā jau septiņdesmit gadus teju nemainīgi valdošā Liberāli demokrātiskā partija piedzīvo lejupslīdi. Mazākuma valdības koalīcija, kuru liberāldemokrāti veido kopā ar savu pastāvīgo mazāko partneri, partiju „Kōmeitō” jeb Tīras politikas partiju, cerēja vismaz saglabāt vairākumu augšnamā, taču velti. Liberāldemokrāti zaudējuši apmēram sestdaļu vietu, lielākais ieguvējs ir partija „Sansitō” – ultrakonservatīvi labējie populisti. Labu rezultātu svētdienas vēlēšanās guvis arī vēl viens konservatīvi populistisks, tikai salīdzinoši mērenāks spēks – Demokrātiskā partija tautai. Par spīti nosaukumam Japānas liberāldemokrāti faktiski ieņem nacionālisma un konservatīvisma politikas nišu, un augšminētie konkurenti šai ziņā izrādījušies efektīgāki. Kā norāda komentētāji, premjerministrs Šigeru Išiba esot par maz nacionālistisks un par maz konservatīvs, salīdzinot ar savu priekšgājēju Šindzo Abi. Par labu valdības koalīcijai nenāk arī ekonomiskās problēmas, augsta inflācija, kas sevišķi pamanāmi skārusi japāņiem tik svarīgā rīsa cenas. Tagad tam visam vēl pievienojies Trampa faktors, apdraudot Japānas tirdzniecību ar Savienotajām Valstīm. Tūdaļ pēc neveiksmīgajām svētdienas vēlēšanām premjers Išiba gan pauda apņēmību turpināt valdības darbu, tomēr tiek atzīmēts, ka viņa trīs priekšgājēji, pēc tam kad bija zaudējuši vairākumu Padomdevēju palātā, atkāpušies no amata dažu mēnešu laikā.   Ukrainas iekšpolitikas padebešos ducina Pagājušā nedēļa nesa vērienīgas pārmaiņas Ukrainas valdībā. Ministru kabineta priekšgalā turpmāk būs nepilnus četrdesmit gadus vecā vadības speciāliste, līdzšinējā vicepremjere un ekonomikas ministre Jūlija Sviridenko. Savukārt līdzšinējais premjerministrs Deniss Šmihaļs turpmāk vadīs aizsardzības jomu. Viņš savā līdzšinējā amatā sabija vairāk nekā piecus gadus, kuru laikā, kā zināms, iekrita gan pandēmija, gan Krievijas pilna mēroga iebrukums. Kā atzīst teju visi komentētāji, Šmihaļs ir ticis galā ar savām funkcijām visai sekmīgi, kā viņa galveno veikumu atzīmējot Ukrainas militārās rūpniecības attīstību grūtajos kara apstākļos. Un lielum lielais vairums pauž skepsi par to, vai nule notikušās valdības pārbīdes šai ziņā dos kādu pamanāmu efektu. Kā paziņojis prezidents Zelenskis, līdztekus vēl straujākai pašmāju ieroču ražošanas izaugsmei pārveidotās valdības galvenie uzdevumi ir valsts ekonomiskā potenciāla atraisīšana, sociālā atbalsta programmas ieviešana, birokrātiskā aparāta sašaurināšana un, attiecīgi, līdzekļu ekonomija. Valdības „kapitālais remonts” paredz ne vien ministru portfeļu maiņu, bet arī ministriju pārstrukturēšanu. Un te nu kritiķi neskopojas ar skepsi. Piemēram, paredzēts Ekonomikas ministriju apvienot ar Lauksaimniecības un pārtikas apgādes ministriju un Vides aizsardzības un dabas resursu ministriju, izveidojot Ekonomikas, ekoloģijas un lauksaimniecības ministriju – visai grandiozu administratīvu struktūru. Rodas šaubas par to, cik daudz laika varētu prasīt attiecīgie saaugšanas procesi. Līdzšinējais aizsardzības ministrs Rustems Umerovs turpmāk būs Nacionālās drošības un aizsardzības padomes sekretārs, respektīvi – administratīvais vadītājs. Padome ir koordinējoša un konsultatīva struktūra prezidenta pakļautībā. Taču lai cik apšaubāmi dažam varbūt šķiet prezidenta Zelenska īstenotie kabineta pārkārtojumi, ne tie kļuva par iemeslu protestiem, kuros pirmoreiz kopš „lielā” kara sākuma vakar izgāja Kijivas, Ļvivas un citu Ukrainas pilsētu ļaudis. 22. jūlijā Ukrainas Augstākā Rada nobalsoja par izmaiņām likumdošanā, kas turpmāk pakļaus divas līdz šim neatkarīgas korupcijas apkarošanas institūcijas – Nacionālo antikorupcijas biroju un Specializēto antikorupcijas prokuratūru – valsts ģenerālprokuroram. Turpmāk šim amatvīram būs tiesības pārtraukt korupcijas apkarotāju uzsāktos kriminālprocesus attiecībā pret augstākajām valsts amatpersonām. Dienu iepriekš pār abu minēto pretkorupcijas iestāžu darbinieku galvām pārvēlās kratīšanu vilnis Ukrainas Drošības dienesta un Ģenerālprokuratūras izpildījumā. Tiek pausts, ka korupcijas apkarotāju rindās esot Krievijas ietekmes aģenti, esot aizturēts viens agresorvalsts spiegs. Vēl kādi biroja un specializētās prokuratūras darbinieki esot vainojami satiksmes negadījumu izraisīšanā,  bet neesot saukti pie atbildības. Uz visu šo kampaņu jau reaģējusi Eiropas Komisija tās oficiālā pārstāvja Gijoma Mersjē personā, norādot, ka no demokrātiskas pārvaldes progresa atkarīgi Eiropas Savienības lēmumi par finansiālo atbalstu, un Ukrainā šobrīd notiekošais komisijai radot bažas. Sagatavoja Eduards Liniņš.

Many of us didn't grow up learning how to date in a world of endless options and quick rejections, and those of us who have don't know a life without it. So it's no wonder so many people feel disoriented, burned out, or discouraged by the dating scene. In this episode, Justin and Abi are joined by Bryant Ellis, owner and CEO of The Adventure Challenge, for a candid conversation about how online dating is changing our brains—and what it takes to stay grounded and authentic in the process. Together, they explore the hidden impact of dating app culture, how to stay human in the middle of it, and what to do with the fear of rejection that stops so many people from putting themselves out there. They also talk about how to approach dating with purpose instead of passivity, how to create a plan for emotional resilience, and how to build genuine connection in a culture of swiping. If you've ever wondered how to date with clarity and confidence (without losing your soul in the process), this episode is for you!

Two women from Australia and Germany tell Ella Al-Shamahi about their work in robotics: from tackling loneliness with humanoid companions to making industrial robots more accessible. Australian Grace Brown began building robots at 15, but it was the isolation of pandemic lockdown - five months without human contact - that led her to create Abi, a friendly humanoid companion robot inspired by Disney and Pixar characters. Working in secret while her family believed she was completing her master's degree, Grace instead launched Andromeda Robotics from her bedroom, testing early prototypes in Melbourne nursing homes to help combat loneliness. Grace was recently named one of Forbes Australia's 30 under 30. Maria Piechnick is a German engineer and co-founder of Wandelbots, a company passionate about making robotics accessible to everyone. Her mission is to democratize the field of robotics and enable small and medium sized businesses to be able to deploy robots for any task with ease and efficiency. Maria's work spans a wide range: from enabling a cake company to decorate its products with robotic arms to developing advanced systems that safely defuse unexploded bombs from the Second World War.Produced by Emily Naylor(Image: (L) Maria Piechnick credit Wandelbots.

Their ancestors once dominated the coal swamps of the Carboniferous Period, growing into massive trees that could reach upwards of 160 feet (50 m) into the canopy. Today, the quillworts (Isoetes spp.) are all that remains of this lineage. Though cosmopolitan in their distribution, quillworts can be hard to find unless you know where to look. Luckily, there are people like Dr. David Wickell who have placed them at the center of their scientific focus. Dr. Wickell is hard at work helping to uncover the mysteries of these wonderfully strange lycophytes. Join us as we revisit a conversation that covers everything from CAM photosynthesis to the role of hybridization in speciation in these incredible and mysterious plants.

We all hit seasons where life feels too big to carry—and often, our relationships take the hit. Stress doesn't just affect our schedules; it hijacks our emotions, shrinks our capacity, and makes the people we love feel like the problem instead of the support. In this episode, Justin and Abi get personal about what stress has looked like in their relationship—from the chaos of remodeling their house to raising a new puppy. They share how stress brought out their worst patterns, triggered old wounds, and tested their ability to stay connected. Through real-life stories, they explore the impact of nervous system overwhelm and the small (but powerful) tools that helped them repair—again and again. If you've ever found yourself more reactive, more distant, or more overwhelmed than you want to be—or if you're walking through a hard season and trying to stay connected—this episode is for you. You'll walk away with language for what's happening, practical steps for navigating stress together, and a reminder that hard seasons don't have to break you—they can make you stronger.

Self-Incompatibility is a means by which some plants prevent self-fertilization and promotes outcrossing. It has evolved independently in many different groups and plays a very important role in the ecology, evolution, and conservation of different species.

Join us for a fascinating deep dive into what it takes to understand this phenomenon in Phlox.

My Grumpy Editor by Rachel Chamberlayne Abi has met her ultimate bully. Will she be brave enough to rise to the challenge? Determined to escape the ghosts of her past, Abi Benson jumps at the chance to skip town when she is offered a ghostwriting position at a prestigious digital marketing firm in the Big City. When she discovers she'll be writing for a dream client just two weeks into the job, the opportunity seems almost too good to be true. And when her assigned editor, Philip Baker, informs her of the unfortunate case of mistaken identity that disqualifies her from the running, it turns out that it is. Desperate to prove herself, Abi strikes up a deal that her broody, enigmatic editor can't resist. In exchange for keeping her secret about her true identity, she'll accompany Phil to his brother's wedding in order to charm his difficult father—who happens to be more distraught over Phil's recent breakup than he is. As the guilt over her lie catches up with her, Abi finds comfort in the most unexpected place: her grumpy editor's surprisingly tender embrace—especially when an assault flips her world upside down and prevents her from revealing the secret she so desperately wants to confess. Now, hundreds of miles from home and feeling even more distant from God, Abi must summon the courage to face both her fears and her past head on. But will Phil and Abi's romance survive the storm, or will their differing beliefs extinguish their fragile flame forever? Learn more about Rachel on her WEBSITE and follow her on GoodReads.

At some point, many of us reach a moment when our beliefs no longer fit the reality we're living. In this episode, Justin and Abi open up about their personal journeys through deconstruction—what it looked like, what it cost, and how it ultimately deepened their faith. They unpack why questioning your faith isn't rebellion—it's often a necessary part of maturing spiritually. Whether sparked by suffering, disillusionment, or simply the invitation to grow, deconstruction invites us to reassess what we believe and why. But it's not just about tearing things down—it's about making space for love, humility, and a more authentic connection with God. This conversation covers everything from the emotional upheaval of spiritual uncertainty to the gift of discovering God is bigger—and kinder—than we imagined. If you've ever felt like you don't belong in the faith circles you once called home, or like asking questions makes you dangerous, this episode will help you feel seen. Deconstruction doesn't mean losing faith. Sometimes it's the most radical act of trust.

Setting boundaries can sound easy in theory. But trying to implement boundaries when your nervous system is fried and you're knee-deep in a conversation that's going off the rails is a whole different story. At times it can feel impossible, but with the right tools, anyone can become good at it. In part two of this series, Justin and Abi get personal about the real-life messiness of learning to set and hold boundaries in romantic relationships. They talk about how unresolved childhood patterns shaped their earliest conflicts, how compassion without boundaries created chaos, and how learning to communicate needs around capacity, time, and space helped protect their connection. They also open up about the painful trial-and-error of figuring out what respect looks like in practice—not just in intention. If you've ever felt guilty for needing space, afraid to disappoint someone, or confused about how to set boundaries without creating more distance—this episode is for you. You won't want to miss out.
