Instead, it can be the opening note to your most authentic chapter yet. In this transformative episode, we explore how major life changes—like empty nesting, career shifts, or personal reinvention—are rooted in who we want to become, not just how we'll do it. Through relatable stories like Lisa, who questioned if binge-watching Netflix was her new purpose, and John, who believed he was “too old to start over,” we see how the stories we tell ourselves shape our experiences during these shifts.What makes this approach different? It's all about doing the inner work first. Before rushing into activities or projects, we examine the beliefs, fears, and identities that might be keeping us stuck. Guided by Carol Dweck's research on mindset, we learn to shift from a fixed mindset (“I'm only a parent”) to a growth mindset (“Who can I become now?”).You'll get practical prompts to uncover limiting beliefs, embrace vulnerability as your strength, and celebrate small wins that propel you forward. Rediscover passions you shelved, and open the door to unexpected joy and purpose.Remember George Eliot's words: "It's never too late to be what you might have been."

What does being wealthy truly look like? We imagine having big fancy houses, exotic vacations, and high status jobs. But what if I told you that most millionaires, even decamillionaires today, might not look quite like the famous person on your tv or phone screen, but more like your average Joe, living in a house down the street? That scenario is more than norm than you may realize, and that's good news for everyone.   Links: The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J. Stanley and William D.

A local NH business offering commercial cleaning and property maintenance trusted for its exceptional service. Visit neroyal.com to learn more and show us a little love by mentioning this podcast when you reach out!  Now back to today's tip.  Reading books is a powerful way to shift your mindset about money and finance, along with gaining practical techniques to achieve your desired financial life. One notable book is The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko. First published in 1996, the book delves into the habits of the wealthy, challenging many common misconceptions about wealth.  The authors break down key concepts that question the stereotypical views of wealthy individuals. For instance, wealth isn't always visible, and attaining it isn't solely dependent on income or profession; anyone can adopt wealth-building practices. This idea is fundamental, as many believe wealth is an exclusive domain, locked away by a hidden secret known only to a select few. However, the book demonstrates that with intentionality, focus, and cultivated habits, anyone can build wealth.  Stanley and Danko conducted thorough research across various demographics to uncover what distinguishes wealthy individuals from those who are not. The findings are often surprising. The common belief that a high salary guarantees wealth is swiftly debunked; while income does play a role, how individuals manage their finances holds greater significance.   Another revelation from the book is that appearances can be misleading. A person flaunting a large house, designer clothes, or a luxury car may not be financially secure. The pressure to project an image of wealth often incurs hidden costs. The authors shared, "many people tell us that you can judge a book by its cover, meaning that high-grade doctors, lawyers, accountants, and so on are expected to live in expensive homes. They also are expected to dress and drive in a style congruent with their ability to perform their professional duties."   Interestingly, surveys discussed in the book indicated that many millionaires do not prioritize purchasing luxury items. They tend to be frugal, preferring utility over showmanship when it comes to their spending habits. For instance, their survey results showed that the average American millionaire never spent more than $399 on a suit, with a quarter spending $285 or less. Additionally, about half never spent more than $140 on shoes, and many did not exceed $235 on a wristwatch. Remember that the surveys were conducted in the 90s, so the actual dollar amounts may have shifted a little bit since then.   The authors highlight a critical distinction between high wealth accumulation and the ostentatious display of wealth. They state, "...some people judge others by their choice in foods, beverages, suits, watches, motor vehicles, and such. To them, superior people have excellent tastes in consumer goods. But it is easier to purchase products that denote superiority than to be superior in economic achievement."   Such insights highlight the significant role of frugality in wealth accumulation, which is often overlooked. The authors state, "Being frugal is the cornerstone of wealth-building. Yet far too often, the big spenders are promoted and sensationalized by the popular press. We are constantly barraged with media hype about so-called millionaire athletes, for example."  The book encourages readers to realize they have more control over their financial destinies than they might think. Adopting millionaire habits can be achievable for anyone. For example, individuals can adjust their consumption patterns to reduce spending and enhance savings. Moreover, selecting a career with a clearer understanding of associated costs and responsibilities—be it pursuing a doctorate or starting a business—can maximize financial outcomes.  Encouraging a 'pay yourself first' mentality in personal and family finances is another valuable takeaway. This mindset helps prioritize saving over unnecessary spending, providing a sense of security and control over one's financial future.  If you're considering reading the book, there are a few points to keep in mind. The wealth of data and statistics presented may come across as dry if you're not inclined toward research-driven narratives. Furthermore, since the book was initially written in 1996, some of the information may now seem outdated. My copy was republished in 2010, but monetary values and occupational statistics have undoubtedly evolved since then. A dollar in 1996, for instance, had greater purchasing power than it does today, which can affect how some financial principles are perceived.  Overall, The Millionaire Next Door offers valuable insights into the habits and mindsets that contribute to wealth accumulation. By debunking common myths and encouraging practical financial habits, it provides a more accessible view of how anyone can work toward financial success, equipping readers with actionable steps to improve their economic situation.  If there are any other tips or topics you'd like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org.

This week on What to Expect While Fostering and Adopting, I had the absolute honor of sitting down with April Ficklin, a TBRI® Practitioner, adoptive mom, and the Director of Family Support Services for Flourishing Families of South Carolina. April brings both professional wisdom and personal experience to this conversation. Her work is centered on helping adoptive families find real connection, healing, and hope through Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) and her heart for trauma-informed care is nothing short of powerful. In this episode, we talk about: • The realities adoptive families face behind closed doors • How trauma impacts connection and what we can do about it • Why adoptive moms often feel unseen, and how to change that • How April is equipping families and organizations across South Carolina • And how faith plays a vital role in every part of this healing journey Whether you're new to adoption or knee-deep in the hard parts, this conversation will remind you that healing is possible and you don't have to do this alone. ☕ Now, grab your cup of coffee, get comfy, and let's dig in!

In the third edition of a special podcast series, CancerNetwork® spoke with Daniel Morgensztern, MD; Mary Ellen Flanagan, NP; and Janelle Mann, PharmD, BCOP, about optimal strategies for incorporating different therapeutic agents into lung cancer care. As part of the latest discussion, the group highlighted the relevant efficacy data, administration protocols, and toxicity management considerations associated with TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in patients with non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Morgensztern is a professor of Medicine and the clinical director of Thoracic Oncology in the Division of Oncology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Flanagan is a nurse practitioner in the Division of Thoracic Oncology at Washington University. Mann is a clinical oncology pharmacist at Siteman Cancer Center of Washington University School of Medicine and manager of Clinical Pharmacy Services at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. Morgensztern opened the discussion by highlighting the characteristics of prominent TROP2-targeting ADCs in NSCLC management, which included sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (Trodelvy), datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk (Datroway), and sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT). Additionally, he reviewed data from clinical trials assessing these ADCs across different NSCLC populations, including the phase 3 EVOKE-01 trial (NCT05089734) showing a numerical overall survival (OS) improvement with sacituzumab govitecan vs docetaxel. Regarding the safety profiles of these ADCs, Flanagan described the unique toxicities associated with the agents' payloads as well as potential off-target effects. On top of myelosuppression, fatigue, and diarrhea, she stated that these therapies may cause more visceral organ toxicities like keratitis of the eye and interstitial lung disease. According to Flanagan, some prophylactic measures in the event of certain toxicities include frequent salt and baking soda mouth rinses as well as oral dexamethasone.  Mann then outlined the dosing variability considerations and supportive care measures surrounding the use of agents like sacituzumab govitecan. She emphasized continuously re-educating patients about expected toxicities and supportive care strategies as they undergo these infusion-based therapies to help avoid surprise instances of ocular toxicity, diarrhea, and other adverse effects.

In this episode of What to Expect While Fostering and Adopting, I'm sitting down with my friend Rebecca Del Pozo- an adoptee, an adoptive mom, and a fierce advocate for families who've walked this road from every angle. This conversation is honest, vulnerable, and deeply encouraging. Rebecca doesn't just talk about adoption- she's lived it in every form. From the unexpected twists and tender moments to the hard decisions and holy perspective shifts, she shares how the Lord has used adoption to shape her family, her faith, and her purpose. If you've ever wrestled with the "why" behind your story, or wondered if you're the right person for the calling in front of you, Rebecca's story will meet you right where you are- and lift your eyes higher. ☕ Now, grab your cup of coffee, get comfy, and let's dig in!

Teachhoops.com⁠ ⁠WintheSeason.com⁠ ⁠Dr Dish Website⁠ ⁠CoachingYouthHoops.com⁠ ⁠https://forms.gle/kQ8zyxgfqwUA3ChU7⁠ ⁠Coach Collins Coaching Store⁠ Deterioration of Fundamentals: The decline of fundamental basketball skills is a significant issue in modern coaching. We often find that junior college coaches spend a considerable amount of time teaching basic defensive strategies that players should have already mastered. This lack of fundamentals is partly due to a shift in the focus of coaching. The game has become more about individual performance and less about team play. This is evident in the prevalent one-on-one style of play and the prioritization of money and fame over skill development. Challenges in Rural Areas: Coaching in rural areas presents unique challenges, such as smaller schools and less interest in basketball. For example, a team might start the season with ten players but end with only four due to various reasons, including lack of interest. Travel is another major challenge. Teams often have to travel long distances for games, which can be exhausting and time-consuming. This limits the opportunities for competition and development compared to urban areas, where local competition is more accessible. The European Model: One proposed solution to improve fundamentals is adopting the European model of youth basketball, where players practice more and play fewer games. In the U.S., the focus is often on playing multiple games with minimal practice, which hampers skill development. Shifting to a model where practice is prioritized could help players develop better fundamental skills. Impact of AAU and Summer Ball: The growth of AAU basketball has contributed to the decline of fundamentals. Unlike 20 years ago, when there was one AAU team per area, now there are numerous teams, many of which are not of high quality. This saturation dilutes the talent pool and creates a pay-to-play environment, where the focus is more on financial gain than skill development. This has led to a situation where many players are not prepared for higher levels of competition. Efforts to Improve Fundamentals: Despite these challenges, efforts are being made to improve the situation. For example, in Mississippi, a junior NBA league has been established with a focus on fundamental skills. Players are required to attend clinics to be eligible to play, ensuring they receive proper training. This model emphasizes practice and skill development over simply playing games. The Role of USA Basketball: USA Basketball is also trying to address the issue by promoting fundamental skills, but it faces an uphill battle against the commercialized aspects of youth basketball. The emphasis on individual performance and exposure over team play and skill development continues to be a significant barrier. Conclusion: The decline of fundamental basketball skills is a multifaceted issue that requires a collective effort to address. Coaches, parents, and basketball organizations need to prioritize skill development and team play over individual performance and financial gain. Adopting models that emphasize practice and skill development, like the European model, can help. Additionally, initiatives like junior NBA leagues can provide structured environments for players to develop their skills. Without these efforts, the foundation of basketball will continue to erode, affecting the future of the sport. Thank you for listening to this episode of High School Hoops.

This episode explores why maintenance tasks, despite their fundamental importance, are often neglected or deprioritised in our daily lives and professional work. It delves into the psychological biases that make consistent maintenance challenging, such as hyperbolic discounting, where immediate gratification is valued over future gains, and the construal level theory, which highlights how psychological distance makes preventative work less impactful. The concept of the "maintenance paradox" is introduced, explaining that when maintenance is done well, its benefits go unnoticed, diminishing the sense of reward. The episode encourages listeners to adopt a maintenance mindset, making these tasks a standard habit rather than relying on typical prioritisation structures, as they are crucial for enhancing the quality of overall experiences and preventing future, more urgent problems.People tend to discount future gains or devalue them relative to immediate gratification, a concept known as hyperbolic discounting. This means a dollar now is generally more appealing than a dollar tomorrow, or even two dollars tomorrow.Many important tasks, whether changing guitar strings, making your bed, clearing email backlogs, or improving a development environment (often termed "tech debt" in a professional context), are easily put off because they seem like low priority in the moment.The "maintenance paradox" illustrates that when maintenance is performed correctly, its positive effects are often invisible because it prevents negative outcomes that are never experienced. This lack of visible benefit means there's no immediate "dopamine rush" or gratification from consistent maintenance.Construal level theory explains why maintenance is difficult by highlighting different forms of psychological distance.Temporal distance relates to the future value of maintenance being less immediate.Spatial distance suggests tasks further away (e.g., in an attic) are more likely to be in disrepair.Social distance refers to maintenance affecting others more than oneself, reducing direct personal impact.Hypothetical distance is particularly relevant for maintenance, as preventing a problem means never experiencing the potential downside, making the value of the preventative work hard to assess or feel. This contrasts with reactive work, where real losses are visible, making it seem more urgent and higher priority.A "bad cycle" can be created by the dopamine rush experienced when allowing things to pile up and then finally cleaning or fixing them, which inadvertently trains individuals that it's acceptable to delay maintenance. The marginal benefit of immediate action doesn't provide enough immediate gratification compared to the larger reward of eventual relief.To counteract these biases, maintenance must become a standard practice or habit. Adopting a "maintenance mindset" means understanding that these tasks enhance the quality of other experiences, such as making a bed to create a calm environment or applying sunscreen to prevent future pain.Maintenance tasks often fall into the "important but not urgent" quadrant of the Eisenhower matrix, but they only become urgent when the disrepair is overwhelming, like guitar strings breaking on stage. It is vital to integrate these behaviours into daily routines rather than relying solely on typical prioritisation structures.The podcast itself can be seen as a form of "maintenance behaviour" for one's career and professional life.

In the next installment of the Big Ideas for Smaller Government series, host David From welcomes back Jeremiah Mosteller, Policy Director at Americans for Prosperity, to take a hard look at spending within the Department of Veterans Affairs—and what reforms are needed to better serve those who served us. Mosteller breaks down how the VA's budget has quadrupled since 2004 even though the veteran population has declined by 30%. From bloated staffing levels to $4 million contracts for services that now cost just $5,000, this episode exposes how wasteful spending is draining resources from veterans and taxpayers alike. The conversation also focuses on one reform with huge potential impact: site-neutral payments. Right now, hospitals owned by large systems can charge the federal government far more than local, independent clinics for providing the exact same services to veterans. This creates perverse incentives, drives up costs, and limits care options. Adopting site-neutral payments would save taxpayers an estimated $14 billion—and give veterans more access to timely, local care. Mosteller also exposes how top VA officials actively discourage use of the Community Care Program, forcing veterans to wait months or drive hours for treatment—while simultaneously helping process healthcare claims for unauthorized migrants. This episode makes one thing clear: reforming the VA isn't about spending less on veterans—it's about spending smarter so veterans get the care they've earned.

In this episode I share some ideas around including more balance and stability exercises in your training routine. Balance is one of those "use it or lose it" skills, so it needs to be a part of your program indefinitely if you want to keep or improve it. Adopting a non-judgmental attitude toward your capabilities (or temporary lack thereof) is paramount for success. We'll also discuss some fun gear I recently discovered! Hope you're all well.

In this enlightening discussion, I sat down with Melo Calarco, a seasoned mindfulness coach and author renowned for his work on overcoming burnout and achieving balance. In this episode, we explore the multifaceted nature of burnout, delving into Melo's personal journey of cycling 30,000 kilometres around the world and how this challenging experience shaped his understanding of resilience and self-belief. Alongside his exploration of the critical role mindfulness and gratitude play in combating burnout, this conversation offers invaluable insights into identifying the signs of stress and how to shift your mindset towards a healthier, more balanced lifestyle. What You'll Learn: Understanding Burnout: Melo provides a comprehensive explanation of burnout, beyond the work environment, emphasising that it's largely about chronic stress. Key Signs and Symptoms: Early indicators of burnout such as physical tension, emotional withdrawal, and behavioural changes. The Role of Mindfulness: How integrating mindfulness into daily practice can serve as a powerful tool to manage stress and enhance mental clarity. Stress Responses: The distinction between challenge and threat perceptions of stress and their impact on motivation and behaviour. Practical Mindfulness Techniques: Simple yet effective strategies for implementing mindfulness and meditation into a busy schedule. Gratitude and Positivity: Exploring how gratitude can rewire the brain for positivity, counteracting stress and promoting better mental health. Key Takeaways: Burnout extends beyond the workplace; it is the result of chronic, unmanaged stress which can accumulate from various life sources. Self-awareness is crucial in identifying stress signs early. Listening to your body's cues and recognising emotional shifts can prevent deeper burnout. Mindfulness and meditation are not just practices for moments of stillness. They can be woven into daily routines to enhance focus and reduce anxiety. Adopting a challenge-oriented mindset, supported by self-belief and past experiences, provides a protective buffer against burnout. Simple practices like daily gratitude can have profound impacts on mental health, promoting a positive outlook and resilience.

Adopting a plant-based diet is a trend that continues to grow in popularity. However, for people focused on muscle growth and strength due to their athletic pursuits, there may be concerns about whether their muscle development and sports performance are being compromised by eating predominantly protein from plant foods.

Neil addresses the common feelings of being lost and purposeless that many listeners have expressed after the previous episode. Neil shares a powerful technique to shift one's mindset by changing body posture. He emphasises the connection between body and mind, encouraging listeners to adopt a victorious stance to boost their confidence and energy. By engaging in this simple yet effective practice, Neil aims to help listeners take control of their emotions and set a positive tone for their day. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mind-Body Connection: The relationship between the mind and body is interconnected; changing your posture can significantly influence your mental state. Adopting a confident stance can help shift feelings of depression or lethargy. Victory Posture Exercise: To improve your mood and energy, practice standing tall with your arms raised in a victory pose. This physical change can evoke feelings of success and confidence, helping to combat negative thoughts. Morning Rituals Matter: Establishing a positive morning routine is crucial. Avoid hitting the snooze button, make your bed, and start your day with a winner's mindset to set a productive tone for the rest of the day. Behaviour Influences Mood: Your actions and how you present yourself can dictate your feelings. Slouching or dressing in a sloppy manner can lead to a negative mindset, while adopting a more active and positive demeanour can enhance motivation. Consistency is Key: Regularly practising these techniques can lead to lasting changes in your mindset and overall well-being. Make it a habit to shift your state and embrace a winner's mentality to improve your life and business. BEST MOMENTS "Where the mind goes, the body follows. And where the body follows, the mind follows in turn." "This is a really simple, extremely powerful tool that can change everything in just a moment or three." "Your behavior is dictating how you're going to feel. How can you be positive and motivated if you're just slobbing around?" "If you didn't do it, get off your butt and do it now. Repeat it. Repeat. Repeat." "Winners don't slob like that. It's not going to happen."

Adapted from the Jeffrey Eugenides novel of the same name, Coppola's film tells the story of the five Lisbon sisters as seen through the eyes of the boys they charm and perplex in equal measure. Adopting the male gaze as a means of dismantling it, the film is a gauzy, stylish showcase that approaches the concerns of girlhood with sincerity while unearthing the tragedies of femininity under the patriarchal thumb of suburban American life.We discuss the film's aesthetic contradictions and how it weaponizes its own visual splendor against the viewer, its beauty a calculated veneer masking uncomfortable truths. Then, we examine the film's brilliant narrative device, using a single unidentified narrator to represent the collective attitudes of the young men incapapable of comprehending the fullness of the Lisbon sisters and their interiority. Finally, we ponder the connections Coppola draws between femininity and the natural world, how she literalizes this coupling within the film's suburban landscape and distinctive milieu.The Roxie theater in San Francisco is still seeking funds to help buy their building!

Welcome back to the What to Expect While Fostering and Adopting podcast! I'm Christine Marie — adoptive mom, former foster parent, and biblical mindset coach — and today's guest is someone whose voice and impact in the foster care space cannot be overstated. I'm honored to sit down with Dr. John DeGarmo, founder and director of The Foster Care Institute, international speaker, best-selling author of 10 books, and foster/adoptive dad to over 60 children. Dr. DeGarmo has worked alongside child welfare agencies across the globe and is a leading voice for system change and trauma-informed parenting.

We also talk about practical tools and mindsets that can help foster and adoptive parents stay grounded, effective, and full of hope even in the hardest seasons. Whether you're currently fostering, considering it, or simply want to better support foster families in your community, this episode is packed with insight, encouragement, and truth. ☕ So grab your coffee, get comfy, and let's dig in.

I'm a strong believer that you should sell to B2B buyers the same way you sell to B2C prospects. If you don't believe this, you should listen to this conversation with B2C expert, Josh Koplin. He's here to share why B2B prospects want the same experience as B2C customers and how you can give it to them.Meet Josh KoplinAs Co-founder and CRO of EDEN, a home services SaaS startup, Joshua Koplin spearheads the company's mission to equip contractors with innovative technology, fostering business growth and exceptional customer experiences. His extensive experience in finance, innovation, and business development includes leading the IPO for Japan's largest renewable energy developer, RENOVA Inc., and previous roles in investment banking and M&A at J.P. Morgan.Adopting a B2C Experience into the B2B WorldThe B2B prospects in the fancy offices are also the same ones doing B2C buying. They see what it takes to make someone buy, and they want that same experience when a B2B seller is offering them a service or product.Josh shares how his company is modernizing the sales process to provide instant gratification. He studies what consumers want and applies that knowledge to the HVAC and home services space.Overcoming Pricing ChallengesIn the B2C world, the price of a product or service is right there in your face. However, it's often hidden in the B2B world. Josh shares that online pricing is often the first thing on a buyer's priority list, and they will have this in mind when searching for a product. Adopting upfront pricing allows a B2B consumer to feel more comfortable about their buying decision.He also explains why it's still essential for sellers to include the benefits of a product along with the pricing to provide a better experience for those in the B2B world.AI Search Changing Both WorldsIn the B2C and B2B worlds, AI has completely changed the way we look for information on Google. Before you can even scroll down, you see AI gathering the data you need.It makes old-school SEO methods obsolete, so how can you ensure your business still reaches the ranks?Josh shares that the best thing for B2B sellers to do is to put their "kitchen table conversations" online. This is where you act as the consultant and listen to your customers' pain points, needs, and wants. You provide everything they need to know to help them make informed decisions.Josh also goes into what zero-click searches are and how they are affecting the B2B world.“AI search and consumers are turning more towards the kitchen table conversations online. The more helpful you are, the greater the chance of conversation from consumers.” - Josh Koplin.
