This Ask Josh Anything grab-bag starts with Tucson's new aluminum velodrome, evolves (devolves?) into altitude hacks for hour records, "no-rules" speed dreams, and holiday gift picks. From buying a kid's first bike (and why chain waxing might be the cleanest parenting win) to ESG-minded shop habits, Roubaix wheel diameter fever dreams to, aero brake-hose routing, and the Clik Valve debate—this episode covers the weird, practical, and wildly opinionated. Happy Holidays!

This week, I sit down with the luminous Tanya Ali Jalani: breathwork facilitator, sound healer and the founder of Riise. Tanya's story is one of profound inner awakening, cultural reinvention, and the courage it takes to dismantle the conditioning we inherit.Tanya grew up in Iran before migrating to Australia at age six, carrying the weight of cultural expectation, displacement, and early mental health struggles. At twelve, she knew something inside her felt different: but didn't yet have the language for depression, trauma, or the emotional storms that shaped her early life.Her life changed dramatically six years ago during a deep meditation retreat, where she experienced a spiritual awakening so powerful it rewired the way she thought, felt and moved in the world. Today, she teaches breathwork and sound healing through a lens of responsibility, integration and emotional safety: and she speaks openly about the days she still has to work hard not to dip.In this conversation, we explore: • How cultural and family conditioning shapes identity • Tanya's profound “before and after” awakening experience • The difference between sadness and clinical depression • The hidden emotional load carried by immigrant and Middle Eastern families • Why breathwork can activate dormant energies — and why responsible aftercare matters • Why spiritual highs mean nothing without staying human • The rituals and practices that help her remain groundedThis is a conversation for anyone who has ever felt wired differently, struggled in silence, or longed for a deeper connection to themselves.A special thank you to our sponsor, Aestheticá Byron Bay: the female-founded, nurse-led medi-spa redefining natural, ethical cosmetic treatments.Created by registered nurse Alexa Roetger, Aestheticá is built on education, safety, and subtle, confidence-led results.

Too many men today aren't struggling because they lack information. They're struggling because they're drowning in noise. And, I think it's time we start unpacking why the "modern masculinity" space has become obsessed with hot takes, call-outs, online outrage, and performative "accountability" - and why none of it builds strong men, meaningful connection, or lasting improvement. Today I'm joined by my friend, Jack Donovan, to talk about why gossip masquerades as moral authority, how "calling men out" often replaces real accountability, the difference between integrity, honor, and reputation, why social media rewards division, not leadership, the dangers of pedestalizing others—and why men need a code to live by.

Visit today's blog post here. About four times a year, I get that sinking feeling that my IG just isn't very aesthetic, and I worry about what other people (not potential clients) think about me. That I look weird on video, that I ramble, that my captions aren't perfect. But I always come back to this: it's okay that my marketing is imperfect. Who I am in real life is better than my marketing, and I am more complex and full of life and kind than photos and texts can show. I am way better at coaching/caring for people and getting them results, than I am at marketing. And honestly, as a heart-centered entrepreneur, that's exactly how it should be. In this episode, I share about why your marketing doesn't have to be aesthetic to be effective - especially as heart centered entrepreneurs. The more we can release attachment to our marketing and how "perfect" it is and what others think of it, the more we can put out. And even if it just reflects 60% of your amazingness, that is plenty to sign aligned clients. –– Connect with Anna on Instagram: @heartcentered.entrepreneur

In the competitive world of medical aesthetics, many practices struggle because they view "sales" as a dirty word. But here's the truth: sales is simply an extension of patient care. Terri Ross, a top industry expert, argues that the most successful cash-based practices shift their focus from pushing procedures to consulting on solutions. Your Actionable Takeaway: Abandon the "icky" sales stigma. Embrace emotional selling by asking deep, open-ended questions to uncover the true motivations behind a patient's desire for treatment. Patients buy on feeling, not just facts. When you genuinely serve, you automatically sell.

In this episode of The Aesthetic Doctor Podcast, Dr. Jude Borger breaks down the often-overlooked truth that glowing, youthful skin starts from the inside out. While injectables, lasers, and skincare all have their place, your daily habits—sleep, nutrition, stress management, hydration, and overall medical wellness—play an equally powerful role in how your skin looks and feels. Dr. Borger explains how these foundational lifestyle factors influence collagen, inflammation, pigmentation, and radiance, offering practical, accessible steps you can implement right away. You'll learn why good sleep is the ultimate anti-aging tool, how nutrition becomes the raw material for your skin, and how stress, hormones, and hydration drive some of the most common complexion changes. Dr. Borger also highlights the importance of staying on top of your health maintenance, since underlying medical issues often show up on the skin first. This episode is your guide to supporting your aesthetic goals with daily habits that elevate, prolong, and enhance every treatment—helping you look and feel your best from the inside out.

#mitchhampton #IsaiahBerlin #romanticism #TomStoppard #arts #culture #podcast On this, the sixth episode of our miniseries on Isaiah Berlin and Romanticism, I continue to emphasize prose style and conclude the subject of the art of letter writing - with a couple of examples from Berlin's extensive correspondence with the then young Polish political philosopher and dissident Beata Polanowska-Sygulska at the end of Berlin's life. In addition I will include the beginnings of a discussion of the Germans Hamann and Herder and their significance for arts and letters from the 19th century all the way to our present day.

The White House says it's submitting plans this month for its 90,000 square-foot gold-studded ballroom which will be bigger than the White House while Democrats call for inquiries into the funding of the project.

When rapid weight‑loss drugs hit mainstream trends, we knew we couldn't stay silent. So we invited our friends and medical pros from SPMJ Aesthetics – Dr. Mary Jordan (board‑certified surgeon & obesity medicine advocate) and Shaun Paulson NP (nurse practitioner, metabolic wellness specialist) – into the studio for a no‑BS, live panel discussion. Together we break down what's real (and what's not) about GLP‑1 medications, body composition, muscle preservation, nutrition and long‑term health. This isn't a "quick fix" talk. It's about doing transformation with integrity, science, and strength. Dr. Mary Jordan is a board‑certified surgeon and co‑founder of SPMJ Aesthetics, with decades of experience, now focusing on medically supervised weight‑management and metabolic wellness through SPMJ Aesthetics. Shaun Paulson NP is a nurse‑practitioner and skin rejuvenation expert, specializing in healthy aging from the outside in. Connect with SPMJ Aesthetics: Website IG Here's what this GLP‑1 conversation will help you understand: GLP‑1 meds aren't magic unless you build the foundation. Fat loss without muscle‑sparing practices can lead to strength loss – but with protein, resistance training, and smart nutrition, you can lose fat and preserve or build lean mass. Sustainable progress > "fast and gone." Aiming for roughly 1 pound per week and backing that with strength work and adequate fuel helps preserve metabolism, energy, and long‑term health. Health is deeper than the scale. When fat loss is done right (with nutrition, exercise, and medical supervision) you lower inflammation, support metabolic balance, protect connective tissue/skin, and avoid the "gaunt" side‑effects we see online.

Welcome back to When Words Fail, Music Speaks, the show that explores how music can lift us out of the valleys of depression and anxiety and into brighter emotional terrain. In today's episode, host James sits down with pianist, composer, educator, and prolific writer Kurt Ellenberger for a deep‑dive into the world of jazz, its pedagogy, and its power to heal.We'll hear Kurt recount his path from a performing career in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to a long‑standing faculty role at Grand Valley State University where he teaches everything from “Jazz in the Culture” to a beloved interdisciplinary course, “Music, Culture, and Aesthetics.” He shares practical advice for newcomers who feel intimidated by jazz—starting with the universally‑accessible Miles Davis classic Kind of Blue—and explains why jazz demands full, focused listening in the way classical music does, unlike the background‑friendly nature of pop or country.Kurt also opens up about his parallel life as a writer and managing editor of the Journal of the International Association of Jazz Educators. From a blog that caught the eye of the Huffington Post to a series of essays that demystify everything from why Christmas music feels “jazzy” to the emotional weight of minor chords, his mission is simple: turn scholarly insight into stories anyone can enjoy.We'll explore how jazz varies across continents, why European and Australian approaches sound distinct yet remain unmistakably jazz, and why the genre is less a fixed style and more an improvisational mindset. Kurt even reveals a surprising non‑musical talent—his knack for home‑repair and hammer‑work—that keeps him grounded when the academic world gets heavy.Finally, we close with Kurt's personal “Rushmore” of musical heroes—Genesis, pianist John Taylor, composer Paul Hindemith, and David Bowie—plus a secret, deeply moving piece that leaves him speechless every time he hears it.If you've ever wondered how to get into jazz, why it's sometimes dismissed as “wrong notes,” or simply want a heartfelt conversation about music's therapeutic power, you're in the right place. Grab your headphones, set aside the background noise, and let's tune into the conversation that proves—once again—when words fail, music truly speaks.

#200: Holiday magic rarely arrives tidy, and that's exactly why this week felt so good. I switched my usual Nashville trek to host my aunt in Huntsville, crammed a work sprint into a pre-holiday marathon, and wrestled a nine-foot tree into a gold-and-pink glow that made the whole house exhale. One guest room makeover became a full-blown decor spiral—because once one corner shines, the rest of the house starts asking for equal treatment.We chased the Galaxy of Lights on a clear night, and my aunt—fresh from two knee replacements—crushed a walk through the botanical garden like a champ. The next day, we tested D-Box seats for Wicked and discovered that vibrating, tilting chairs plus a musical equals chaotic amusement with adjustable settings. Between laughs and leaning seats, I took her to my go-to Huntsville gems that feel like community: small rooms, familiar faces, and food that tastes like someone's watching over the details.Midweek, a family health scare turned us into advocates. Without airing private details, we sat at the table where care plans are decided and remembered how heavy it is when no one knows a patient's wishes. That's why I'm asking you to have the hard conversations now: CPR or not, intubation preferences, hospice versus rehab, who holds medical power of attorney, and where those documents live. Plans can change, but clarity spares families heartache when time is short. After a reset drive home, I did a double Thanksgiving—early with family, late with chosen family—and listened to my body when it said to sit down.Also, a PSA for the loyal listeners: I'm selling chairs, not retiring. The podcast room is getting a glow-up, and the stories aren't slowing down. If you love holiday recaps, cozy decor talk, candid health wisdom, and a little chaos with your cranberry sauce, you'll feel right at home here. Tap follow, share this episode with someone who needs the nudge to plan their care wishes, and leave a review with your spiciest D-Box seat take.You can now send us a text to ask a question or review the show.

taste feels like one of those things people claim to have, but few think about deeply. in this episode, we break down what taste actually is - where it comes from, how it evolves, and whether it's something you're born with or build through curiosity, exposure, or maybe just copying people you think are cool. we get into the difference between having a real point of view and just collecting pinterest aesthetics, why some people seem effortlessly cool, and how you can always spot when someone's taste doesn't feel like their own. follow us: @grownk1d @gaelaitor @_kaylasuarez join our social club: https://form.typeform.com/to/eBSho4lE overshare with us: grownkid.com About our Partners: GrownKid is made in partnership with Joy Coalition where purpose driven content meets powerful storytelling.
