SUMMARY In this episode of Whistlekick Martial Arts Radio, Jeremy and Andrew engage in a lively debate about the merits of hardwood floors versus matted floors in martial arts training. They share personal experiences, discuss the pros and cons of each surface, and explore how these choices impact safety, realism, and training effectiveness. The conversation delves into subjective preferences and the versatility of training spaces. TAKEAWAYS The discussion is not about which surface is better. Hardwood floors are generally more stable and easier to clean. Matted floors are considered safer for certain techniques. Training on hardwood can feel more connected to the ground. The energy of a training space can influence performance. Training intensity should dictate the choice of surface. Accessibility of training spaces is a key consideration.       This episode is sponsored by Martialytics.

On this episode host Pete Moore sits down with Spoonful founder Bradley Gifford, an entrepreneur whose discusses his fairly non-traditional path from digital marketing to healthy food innovator. He opens up about how a childhood wake-up call around his health spurred a lifelong passion for wellness, ultimately leading him to shed over 70 pounds and dive headfirst into the world of nutritious food. Pete and Brad explore the realities of launching a consumer brand, the structural challenges of modern food marketing, and the importance of genuine relationships—both with retail partners and the local community. He opens up about the discipline required to bootstrap a product-based business, the surprising gaps in the industry, and a recent investment from Pharrell Williams and the Brooklyn Nets ownership group. When it comes to marketing, Gifford mentions, "The trick is to tow the line from a positioning and a branding sense . . . where you're able to appeal to a wide variety of consumers, without compromising on any of the things that matter as a company. And that's really where your kind of magic can be found, and that's where Spoonful was born." Key themes discussed Challenges of healthy food accessibility and education. Brand differentiation in the competitive food market. Importance of community and local partnerships. Navigating premium pricing and brand positioning. Building relationships with retailers and customers. Funding, bootstrapping, and scaling a food startup. A few key takeaways:  1. Personal Health Journey Sparked the Business: Gifford's entry into the healthy food industry was deeply personal. After a childhood spent eating sugary cereals and developing high blood pressure at 12, he overhauled his lifestyle, losing 70 pounds. That made him passionate about making healthy food more accessible, enjoyable, and convenient—laying the foundation for Spoonful. 2. Gap in the Market for Healthy, Enjoyable Food: Working at the Dog Pound gym and later Spartan, he observed that even wellness-focused spaces lacked truly healthy, flavorful, and fresh food options. Many brands positioned as healthy didn't resonate with people who didn't already identify as “healthy” eaters. 3. Community, Accessibility, and Premium Positioning: Spoonful took a grassroots-first approach, focusing on being present in local cafés and community-centric spots rather than immediately trying to target big grocery chains. This emphasized deep relationships with partners, selecting venues with strong local reputations and limited healthy food choices—which allowed Spoonful to command premium pricing. 4. Building Brand Through Relationships: Bradley stressed the critical importance of face-to-face relationship-building in the early stages of Spoonful. Whether with café owners, staff, or customers, personal connections allowed for valuable feedback, trust, and loyalty. This also made community events and collaborations a key part of their growth. 5. Bootstrapping, Funding, and Thoughtful Growth: Spoonful was bootstrapped from the start, with a disciplined and selective approach to capital raising and expansion. Brad highlighted the challenges of working capital and the need for recurring revenue through B2B partnerships (like supplying offices.) He recently also secured investment from notable backers (Pharrell Williams and Brooklyn Nets owners), but also advocates founders rigorously vet growth opportunities, avoid overextending, and focus on sustainable, margin-positive deals.

In today's episode, supported by Camber Pharmaceuticals, we spoke with Kanwarpal S. Kahlon, MD, an associate clinical professor of medicine at the UCLA School of Medicine. In our exclusive interview, Dr Kahlon discussed the significance of the commercial availability of the generic, AB-rated formulations of eltrombopag (Promacta), a bioequivalent medication for the treatment of select patients with severe aplastic anemia and immune thrombocytopenia. He noted how the biosimilar is expected to reduce costs and improve the accessibility of this treatment, potentially enhancing patient adherence. He also explained how it is available in both oral suspension and tablet formulations and that it is well tolerated, with a safety profile similar to that of the original drug.

This week on the Vacation Rental Success Podcast, Heather reconnects with long-time friend and returning guest, Lorraine Woodward, the unstoppable force behind Becoming rentABLE. Lorraine has been championing accessibility in the short-term rental industry for years, and this time, she's back with big news - an exciting new partnership with Expedia Group through their Open World Accelerator Program. Together, Heather and Lorraine dive into what accessibility really means today (spoiler alert: it's not just ramps and wide doors), and how simple, low-cost features like under-counter lighting, secondary locks, and hard surface driveways can dramatically open your property to a broader guest base - including families with children, seniors, people recovering from surgery, and neurodivergent travelers. Lorraine also shares her personal journey, building an inclusive rental to meet her family's needs, and the lightbulb moment that sparked the idea for a global platform. Her story is as inspiring as it is actionable. This is a must-listen if you've ever thought, "Accessibility isn't for my market." Think again - Lorraine shows us why accessible design is not only the right thing to do, it's really good business.

Guy Harris from AccessiblePRS explains why accessible housing is important, what the key considerations are and how to deliver it well. He also shares his experience of designing his own house as a wheelchair user. Check out the show notes for more information.

The boundary between technological innovation and absurdity blurs in this fascinating exploration of AI's growing influence on our lives. We kick off with Google's latest accessibility features for Android and Chrome, where Gemini AI now helps visually impaired users understand images and captures not just what people say, but how they say it—recognizing that a simple "no" versus an emphatic "NO!" carries vastly different meanings.But the conversation takes an unexpected turn when we reveal perhaps the strangest AI story yet: a Greek woman who divorced her husband of 20 years based solely on ChatGPT's interpretation of coffee grounds. Without confronting her spouse, she filed papers after the AI claimed he was having an affair with a younger woman. This bizarre incident perfectly illustrates what our guest expert Phil Hennessey later emphasizes—AI systems can "hallucinate" convincingly false information, making critical human oversight essential.Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase demonstrates a refreshingly aggressive approach to cybersecurity after experiencing a major data breach. Rather than paying the hackers' $20 million ransom demand, they've established a bounty of the same amount for information leading to the identification of those responsible. It's an innovative counter-strategy that could change how companies respond to cyber threats.Phil Hennessey delivers a masterclass in understanding large language models, explaining that these systems don't actually memorize information like humans but create statistical word maps through neural networks. His insights culminate in a powerful warning about over-reliance on AI potentially eroding our critical thinking skills—coining the term "Human In The Loop" (HITL) as the necessary safeguard against technological overreach.From Waymo's ongoing self-driving challenges to the latest iPhone 17 rumors, we round out the show with our signature whiskey tasting of Blanton's Gold Edition bourbon.

It's been nearly 8 years since Samantha aka LiliAvacyn has been on the podcast. A lot has changed since their first episode, and now they're back for a second one! Samantha talks about this year being their 20 year convention anniversary. We talk about how conventions have changed over time, from experiences, to guests, panels, and overall fun. One of the topics that Samantha wanted to talk about was cosplay and their adjustments to cosplay and conventions with a disability. You'll hear how Samantha has adapted cosplays to include their wheelchair, wheelchairs and the convention spaces, and more. Not only is Samantha speaking up in the cosplay and convention space when it comes to accessibility, we also talk about it with one of their newer fandoms - K-Pop. Samantha talks about getting into K-Pop, their favorite group, Ateez, and experiences with two different concert venues and the steps taken for accessibility.

SUMMARY In this episode, Andrew Adams and Nick Taber discuss the evolution of martial arts, focusing on the impact of technology on teaching and accessibility. They explore how technology has transformed the learning experience, making martial arts more accessible to students. The conversation also touches on the importance of small moments in teaching and the influence of iconic martial artists like Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris, discussing their unparalleled fame and recognition. They emphasize the importance of small moments in martial arts training, highlighting how these can create lasting impacts on students. The discussion also delves into the role of nervousness in training, suggesting that it can empower students rather than hinder them. Additionally, they examine the use of music in training environments, sharing personal experiences and preferences regarding music during martial arts practice. TAKEAWAYS Technology has significantly improved martial arts teaching. Accessibility has increased due to online resources. The role of the instructor has evolved with technology. Communication with martial arts icons is easier than ever. Martial arts training is more available to everyone today. The mystique of the instructor has diminished over time. Technology allows for better self-assessment in training. The martial arts community is more connected through technology.  We will never have another martial artist with the fame of Chuck Norris or Bruce Lee. Nervousness in students can be a sign of care and focus. Empowering students by acknowledging their feelings can enhance their experience. Music can serve as a distraction or a tool for focus in training. Understanding the emotional state of students can improve their training.

In Episode 135 of White Canes Connect, hosts Lisa Bryant and David Goldstein welcome Martha Steele and Natanya Sortland to spotlight the inaugural Blind Birders Birdathon happening May 18, 2025. This nationwide event invites blind and visually impaired individuals to identify birds by sound during a flexible two-hour window within a 24-hour period. No birding experience required—just a love of listening. Martha, a lifelong birder from Massachusetts, was inspired by an article about a blind bird guide and helped launch the event to build community and highlight that birding is, above all, an auditory experience. Natanya, an ambassador for VisionCorps and a self-described "bird-loving beginner," is leading a group walk in Malvern, PA at Brightside Farm, with expert Rick Kaiser guiding participants through the art of bird song recognition. Supported by Birdability and fueled by grassroots passion, the Birdathon already has 160+ registered participants. Everyone who registers is eligible for a prize drawing that includes birding gear, books, and even a guided birding tour. The event is open to anyone blind or low vision—and yes, even sighted allies are welcome to join the fun.

This week on the show, we have all the geek news you need and in the boss room we're talking about accessibility in video games because there's been a ton of improvements since we last dove into this topic.

In just a few short years, AI usage has boomed in the content creation world. Not just that, it's also changed a LOT, and in ways many of us never predicted. In this episode, Matt Pierce takes us back to 2023 when many of us were still experimenting with AI and had bold predictions about its future. He asked the audience on LinkedIn for predictions, fears, and insights into how people were using AI for video content. How much has changed since then? Were our predictions right? Matt unpacks some of the top trends people were discussing, including AI for accessibility, dynamic learning, user-generated content, and the ins and outs of video production. A common theme that's still relevant today is the role of authenticity and the human voice in our content. While AI can do a lot of the grunt work and can help us turn ideas into finished products, the human voice is still king.

Low testosterone is sabotaging your health, motivation, and longevity. Diet alone will not fix it. In this episode of The Human Upgrade, Dave Asprey sits down with Shalin Shah, CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals, to expose the truth about testosterone decline in both men and women. They break down why testosterone is crashing worldwide, why natural fixes almost always fail, and how the latest science finally makes testosterone therapy safer, simpler, and more effective than ever before. You will discover why testosterone is essential for dopamine, brain function, sleep, muscle, libido, and mitochondrial health. Fixing your levels can reverse fatigue, brain fog, poor motivation, and slow aging itself. Shalin reveals how new oral testosterone technology (Kyzatrex®) overcomes the dangers of old therapies and restores natural hormone rhythms without needles, creams, or dangerous side effects. What You Will Learn in This Episode: • Why testosterone matters for men and women at every age • The real causes of the global testosterone crash • Why diet, sleep, and exercise cannot fully fix low testosterone • How testosterone drives dopamine, motivation, and longevity • The breakthrough that makes oral testosterone safe and effective • How Kyzatrex® lowers SHBG and boosts free testosterone naturally • Why maintaining youthful testosterone levels protects brain, muscle, libido, and lifespan • How to safely use testosterone therapy without suppressing fertility or causing side effects ** Visit livethrive.co/asprey to get a discount on your first month's supply! ** Resources: • Dave Asprey's New Book - Heavily Meditated: https://daveasprey.com/heavily-meditated/ • Purchase Kyzatrex® – https://livethrive.co/?utm_campaign=11813552-Asprey• Shalin's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/themetabolicceo/ • 2025 Biohacking Conference: https://biohackingconference.com/2025 • Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com • Dave Asprey's Website: https://daveasprey.com • Dave Asprey's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/daveasprey • Upgrade Collective – Join The Human Upgrade Podcast Live: https://www.ourupgradecollective.com • Own an Upgrade Labs: https://ownanupgradelabs.com • Upgrade Labs: https://upgradelabs.com • 40 Years of Zen – Neurofeedback Training for Advanced Cognitive Enhancement: https://40yearsofzen.com Timestamps: 00:00 Trailer 00:52 Introduction 01:29 Global Decline in Testosterone Levels 02:27 Symptoms of Low Testosterone 03:48 Personal Journey with Testosterone Therapy 05:06 The Role of Testosterone in Overall Health 06:18 Testosterone Levels in Men and Women 08:48 Challenges and Innovations in Testosterone Delivery 16:25 The Importance of Circadian Rhythm in Testosterone Therapy 19:19 The Future of Testosterone Therapy 32:00 Investment and Development in Testosterone Therapy 34:57 Introduction to FDA and Hormone Replacement 35:31 FDA's Impact on Women's Health 36:10 Testosterone and Cardiovascular Risk 39:05 Testosterone and Depression 40:30 Testosterone Testing and Misconceptions 44:58 The Testosterone Project and Female Hormone Therapy 47:51 Testosterone's Role in Longevity and Health 55:37 Cost and Accessibility of Testosterone Therapy 01:04:03 Conclusion and Final Thoughts See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
