How does ligand binding at the extracellular pocket of a GPCR reshape signaling on the intracellular side?Biased agonism is often measured through pathway activation assays, but the structural origin of ligand bias remains difficult to trace. Can molecular simulations reveal the communication routes that link ligand binding to G protein or arrestin signaling?In this conversation, computational biologist Anita Niveda explores how molecular dynamics and network analysis can map allosteric communication within GPCRs—revealing how microscopic structural pathways relate to macroscopic signaling outcomes. From discovering bioinformatics as an undergraduate to developing computational methods for quantifying ligand bias, the discussion moves through the scientific thinking behind modeling receptor signaling, collaborations between academia and industry, and how computational tools are becoming predictive instruments in drug discovery.Key Topics in This EpisodeHow molecular dynamics simulations reveal communication pathways connecting ligand binding sites to G protein or arrestin interfacesWhy mapping allosteric communication networks helps explain biased agonism in GPCR signalingWhat computational strategies can quantify ligand bias directly from receptor structuresHow receptor subtype selectivity emerges from subtle structural and dynamic differences in binding pocketsWhy academic–industry collaborations can accelerate method development in receptor pharmacologyWhat career decisions shape the path from computational biology training to drug discovery rolesTimestamps0:00 A structural question behind ligand bias1:30 Introduction and scientific background3:40 Discovering bioinformatics and computational biology7:30 First encounters with GPCR structural biology9:40 Finding and choosing a postdoctoral lab16:40 Entering GPCR research and allosteric communication18:20 Quantifying ligand bias using simulations20:00 Mapping signaling pathways through receptor residues23:30 Academic–industry collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim27:00 Moving from academia to industry research35:00 Interviewing and transitioning into biotech45:00 Aha moments in computational GPCR research50:00 The diversity of GPCR families and signaling biologyKeywords: GPCR podcast, GPCR signaling, biased agonism, drug discovery, receptor pharmacology

Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:You don't have a money problem. You have a why problem.You are hustling. Hard. Every decision you make, every hour you put in, every sacrifice you justify, it is all pointed at the same thing. More money. Because once you have enough of it, everything else falls into place.That is the trap.Not because making money is wrong. But because money was never going to be the answer to the question underneath it. And most people spend years,  sometimes their entire career, finding that out too late.Eric Mitchell was at the top of his industry when his mentor stopped him at dinner and asked one question. Why do you want all this money? He had no answer. Not a vague one. Nothing. And that blank silence sent him on a search that turned into hundreds of conversations with self-made high earners across industries. What he found was the same every single time. Nobody was driven by the money. Not one person.In this episode Eric breaks down the five real reasons people pursue financial success and why without knowing which one is driving you, you can make the money, but you will not find the fulfillment or the purpose that you thought it was going to bring.#WhyOfMoney #FoundersOfTheFuture #BusinessGrowthResources Mentioned:Website | LinkedIn | Facebook_____________________We appreciate you, thank you for listening.

In the January 2026 episode of Critical Decisions in Emergency Medicine, Drs. Danya Khoujah and Wendy Chang discuss Rocky Mountain spotted fever and pediatric oncologic emergencies. As always, you'll also hear about the hot topics covered in the regular features, including ectopic atrial rhythm in The Critical ECG, a child with corneal clouding in Clinical Pediatrics, traumatic below-knee amputation in Orthopedics and Trauma, bladder rewarming for hypothermia in The Critical Procedure, highlights from the 2025 AHA guidelines for CPR and emergency cardiovascular care in The LLSA Literature Review, a boy with scrotal pain in The Critical Image, ketamine-midazolam for pediatric convulsive status epilepticus in The Drug Box, and arsenic toxicity in The Tox Box.

An aircraft dispatcher describes how weather, war, space launches, and other disruptions can throw airline operations into chaos. In the news, Rolls-Royce on the open-rotor engine design, pilots petition SpaceX Starlink over a price increase, an NTSB board member is fired, Lufthansa changes the carry-on policy for violins, and Barbados controllers stage an unexpected strike. Guest Mike Karrels is an aircraft dispatcher and air traffic manager for the Southeast U.S. with a major U.S. carrier, and he's also a pilot. That combination gives him a unique view of how decisions get made when things don't go as planned. Mike describes the aircraft dispatcher as the captain's partner on the ground. The two share responsibility for operational control of the flight, which means they work together to decide if a flight should continue, divert, or turn back. When an unplanned event hits, the dispatcher is often the first one building the big-picture view: what's happening, who it affects, and what options are actually realistic. Sometimes the disruption is regional. An airport closes, weather rolls in, military operations pop up, or a space launch creates airspace that suddenly can't be used. In those cases, it's not just about one flight. Crews and aircraft can end up scattered in the wrong places, the passengers need to be taken care of, and the operation has to be reassembled. Aircraft dispatchers and other teams work together to untangle that mess and put airplanes and people back where they need to be. Other times, it's just one airplane with a problem. Maybe a mechanical issue, a medical situation, or conditions deteriorating at the destination. The aircraft dispatcher has to make a decision. Divert to another airport? Return to the origin? Each choice has tradeoffs. Mike walks through the kinds of factors that come into play. Beyond passenger impact and safety, aircraft dispatchers look at things like whether there's ground staff at the diversion airport, what kind of ground transportation is available, and how quickly the airplane can be turned around and put back into service. Crew duty and rest rules are another major piece: a decision that solves the immediate problem might leave a crew out of legal flying time later, stranding passengers or aircraft. On top of government regulations, airlines often layer on their own rules. For example, there may be company policies about diverting into an uncontrolled field, even if it's technically legal. Dispatchers have to navigate both sets of requirements while still making timely decisions in a dynamic situation. Getting to that level of responsibility takes serious training and certification. Aircraft dispatchers are required to understand aircraft performance, weather, navigation, regulations, and company procedures. They also need to stay aware of the geopolitical environment. Overflight restrictions, conflict zones, and international rules all shape where a flight can and should go on a given day. Spaceflight adds yet another wrinkle. Mike talks about the Aircraft Hazard Area, or AHA, around space launches: the region where debris might fall if something goes wrong. Those areas can close significant chunks of airspace and affect routes and alternates, even for flights that seem far from the launch site. Mike owns a share of a vintage 1963 Beechcraft Musketeer. He produced the Flying and Life podcast, where he shared stories and perspectives from both sides of the cockpit door. The back catalog of those episodes is still available for anyone who wants to dive deeper into the world of flight dispatch and everyday aviation life.

Will it be an open-rotor (an unducted fan) or a conventional ducted fan engine? What will the airframers want and what will the engine OEMs offer? All those questions are unanswered. In wind tunnel tests ten years ago, RR looked at open-rotor noise and high-speed performance. More recently, the company validated its previous work and sees propulsion efficiency advantages. RR sees two areas of concern: risk and integration issues. Integration issues include: engine noise entering the cabin that would have to be attenuated, protecting against a blade-out event, aerodynamic interaction with the wing, and the effect on overall aerodynamics. Rolls-Royce director of research and technology Alan Newby says the company is unconvinced the open-rotor is the way to go, saying, “I can do windtunnel work. I can do simulations, if you like, and I can go and fly on an A380. But the time you realise whether it works or not is when you run that first engine on your production aircraft. That's a long way down the road. That discovery of risk is a long time in the process.” After considering performance and risk, Newby says Rolls-Royce favours the ducted fan configuration: “We've gone into it with our eyes open. We've looked at the previous data. And, on balance, we're sticking with what we've got. We think it's the right solution.” Rolls-Royce makes a play for narrowbody aircraft engines with £3bn UltraFan 30 programme In February 2026, Rolls-Royce revealed a mock-up of the ducted UltraFan 30 concept with a geared turbofan. The company is looking for up to £200 million in UK government support to help fund development and testing of a scaled demonstrator. More than £500 million has already been invested. The overall program could cost around £3 billion. The Rolls-Royce UltraFan 30 narrowbody engine is a 30,000 lb thrust-class geared turbofan derived from Rolls-Royce's UltraFan architecture. It features a 90-inch fan and targets up to 20% better fuel burn than current engines. Ground testing is from 2028, with entry into service targeting 2035. Pilots Petition Starlink Following Shift to New Speed Tiers Airlines are switching to SpaceX Starlink service on their airplanes. Many GA pilots use the compact Mini dish and a Roam plan because it gives them the ability to use phone and tablet applications for real-time weather access, flight planning updates, and communications. SpaceX has changed its Starlink in-motion service offerings, which moves many GA pilots into a higher-priced plan. A change.org petition, Request reinstatement of Starlink roaming plans for pilots has been created and signed by thousands of pilots: “For those of us in general aviation, Starlink has been nothing short of a revolution. As a general aviation pilot, having Starlink service on board has dramatically enhanced my flying experience, improving not only my situational awareness but also my ability to access up-to-date weather and airport safety information while airborne. These capabilities are critical to ensuring the safety and efficiency of our flights, and allow us to maintain communication with others while traveling, providing peace of mind to both pilots and our loved ones.” “However, Starlink has recently made the disappointing decision to raise the cost of the plans serving general aviation by 5 times, while providing less than half of the data of the previous plans simply based on the speed that our planes travel.  Many of us are not commercial operations nor traveling near the speeds that these plans are targeting.” “We urge Starlink to reconsider their decision and reinstate the roaming plans with a speed that accommodates general aviation…” The Current in-motion speed limits for Roam, Local Priority, and Global Priority (land/sea use) are up to 100 mph in motion. Above that, Starlink expects you to move to an aviation plan. The new Aviation 300MPH plan is $250 per month and includes 20 GB of data, with overage billed at $10 per GB. The new Aviation 450MPH plan is $1,000 per month and includes 20 GB of data, with additional data billed at $50 per GB. Includes land and ocean coverage. NTSB board member Inman says he was fired by White House A Republican member of the U.S. National ​Transportation Safety Board said on Sunday he was fired on Friday ‌by the White House without any explanation. Todd Inman, a former chief of staff to Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, was fired ‌by the White House, at the time without any explanation. Inman had served on the ​NTSB since April 2024. White House says NTSB member was fired for inappropriate alcohol use, harassment After the firing, a White House statement said, “The White House lawfully removed Todd Inman from the NTSB after receiving highly concerning reports of inappropriate alcohol use on the job, harassment of staff, misuse of government resources, and failure to attend at least half of NTSB meetings. Inman told Politico, “I categorically deny the allegations made in the White House statement. It has become increasingly obvious this action was a political hit job. While not my original intent, I look forward to defending my reputation through all legal means possible.” Lufthansa Softens Violin Policy After Backlash Over “Naked Violin” Incident Lufthansa strictly limits carry-on baggage item dimensions to 55 x 40 x 23 cm. At the same time, the airline allows violins and other small musical instruments to travel in the cabin free of charge. However, many standard violin cases are greater than 55 cm in length. That means the options are to check the instrument or purchase a second seat. The classical music community exploded after a viral video of a musician carrying a violin onboard without the case. Lufthansa now says airline staff can exercise more flexibility to allow small instruments in the cabin. The combined dimensions of the hand luggage cannot exceed 125 centimeters. In the United States, federal law requires airlines to allow small instruments such as violins onboard if they can be safely stowed in the cabin. Europe has no equivalent rule, leaving each airline to develop its own policy.

The March 7, 2026, job action left passengers at the island's Grantley Adams International Airport stranded. The controllers were protesting a number of grievances, including staff shortages. These have caused controllers to assume additional responsibilities without extra compensation. An emergency meeting was held with the Barbados Workers' Union and the National Union of Public Workers, which represent air traffic controllers. They returned to work, and another meeting is scheduled for March 11, 2026. Delta, United, Air Canada, JetBlue, and WestJet flights to Barbados were impacted.

In a world obsessed with quick fixes and automated answers, Dr. Marcia Reynolds joined The Ash Said It Show to deliver a powerful wake-up call for the 2026 workplace: stop trying to solve the problem and start coaching the human being in front of you. As the legendary author of Coach the Person, Not the Problem, Dr. Reynolds explains that the coaching landscape has undergone a radical evolution since her first edition. Today's leaders aren't just facing tasks; they are navigating a "wicked" landscape of digital fatigue and systemic complexity where the old scripts no longer work. This second edition has become an essential survival guide because it shifts the focus from external performance to internal capacity, ensuring leaders can thrive amidst constant disruption. The greatest hurdle for any high-achiever is the "fix-it" reflex—that magnetic pull to give advice when a client or employee is spiraling. Dr. Reynolds challenges us to resist this rescue impulse, noting that when we provide the answer, we actually rob the other person of their own cognitive breakthrough. By staying disciplined in Reflective Inquiry, a coach acts as a psychological mirror, allowing the client to see their own thinking patterns. This requires a level of Coaching Presence that many struggle to achieve. The primary barrier is often the coach's own ego; the need to prove value by being "brilliant" creates mental noise that drowns out the person we are trying to help. True presence is about "emptying the cup" and trusting that focused attention is more transformative than the best advice. Growth, as Dr. Reynolds famously teaches, lives in the Discomfort Zone. This is the precise, shaky moment when a person's old mental model begins to crack but a new one hasn't yet formed. She reveals that the secret to navigating this tension is the balance of high challenge and high support; by identifying the "Aha!" breath or the sudden break in eye contact, a coach can gently push a client toward a breakthrough without triggering a defensive retreat. This human-centric philosophy is also the ultimate tool for radical inclusion. By stripping away assumptions and focusing on the individual's unique internal narrative, leaders can navigate diverse identities and lived experiences with genuine empathy rather than relying on stereotypes or surface-level labels. As we look toward the future, the rise of Generative AI has actually made the human element of coaching more valuable than ever. While an algorithm can generate a perfect problem-solving script, it cannot sit in the "messy middle" of a breakthrough or sense the heavy silence of an unspoken fear. Dr. Reynolds reminds us that the next generation of leaders will be defined by their ability to be uniquely, provocatively human.

Return to Work After Stroke: How Marco Calabi Rebuilt His Career, His Purpose, and His Life At 47 years old, Marco Calabi was a DevOps engineer living in Italy – someone who spent his days automating systems, solving complex problems, and helping companies stop wasting time on repetitive tasks. He was healthy, working, paying bills, and spending time with friends. Life was normal. Then, without warning, everything changed. A small hole between the two chambers of Marco’s heart, a condition known as Patent Foramen Ovale, or PFO, had allowed blood flows to mix. A clot formed. It travelled to his brain. By the time his partner and sister realised something was terribly wrong, Marco was moving his arm involuntarily, unaware of what was happening to his own body. The emergency services were called twice. The second time, they came. Marco underwent eight hours of brain surgery. He was placed in a medically induced coma to allow his brain to rest. When he finally opened his eyes, he was on a hospital bed, and the road back had only just begun. The Reality of Stroke at 47 Marco woke from surgery to find the right side of his body had been affected. His arm, hand, and leg were weak. His speech was impaired. He left the hospital in a wheelchair. For many stroke survivors, this is the moment that defines everything that follows, not the stroke itself, but the first honest look at what recovery is actually going to require. “In the beginning, I was helped in everything,” Marco recalls. “They prepared my lunch. They helped me go to the bathroom. My family never left me alone.” His mother, his partner, his sister, and a close friend in the Netherlands all rallied around him. At home, physiotherapists and local health professionals visited him directly, a level of care he describes as incredible. Step by step, he began to reclaim his independence. First, the bathroom. Then the kitchen. Then the stairs. Each small act of autonomy arrived with a feeling he hadn’t expected: power. “You feel good because you think you have power again,” he says. “It is a very important moment.” Return to Work After Stroke: Why It Matters For working-age stroke survivors, the question of whether they can return to work after stroke is one of the most pressing they face. Identity, purpose, financial security, and routine work carry all of these things, and a stroke threatens all of them at once. For Marco, returning to work wasn’t just a financial necessity. It was evidence that his life still had forward momentum. He went back to his role as a DevOps and Site Reliability Engineer, initially working six hours a day instead of eight. The work itself, automating processes and improving systems, remained the same. Only the pace had changed. “I do the same things, but with different speeds,” he says simply. That shift in pace is something many stroke survivors recognise. Recovery doesn’t demand perfection. It demands persistence. “The right moment is now. Not after, not tomorrow, not next week. Now.” — Marco Calabi Recovery Happens in Steps One of the most grounded things Marco shares is this: recovery cannot be rushed. “The experience is made of steps,” he says. “You must live every step. The first steps are physical. And then your mind changes. But you must let yourself be.” This is the part that rarely gets talked about openly. The pressure to recover quickly — to prove to yourself, your family, and your employer that you are still capable — can work against the very process you are trying to complete. Marco’s advice is to resist the urge to skip ahead. Physical recovery comes first. Mental and emotional transformation follows naturally from there. Trying to rush past the physical phase doesn’t speed up recovery. It disrupts it. The Book, the Purpose, and the Shift Deep into his recovery, Marco did something unexpected. He wrote a book. Cambio di Vita, translated into English as Life Change: To Hell and Back, is his account of what happened, what he felt, and what he learned. Available on Amazon in digital and paperback. Writing started as a personal exercise. Somewhere in the process, its purpose shifted. “I said, my story is useless in this moment. I can make something,” Marco explains. “And so the book has another meaning to share.” For a man who had always found purpose through his career, the stroke opened an unexpected door. Helping others became a new calling. Speaking engagements, podcasts, and community conversations, Marco has built a new layer of meaning onto the life he already had. His best friend told him he had become wiser. His own reflection on what changed is striking: “Heartlessness is useless. You reach the hearts of people with softness.” What Stroke Taught Him About Life Perhaps the most powerful thing about Marco’s story is not what he lost, but what he found. He found that the right moment is always now, not when conditions are perfect, not when recovery is complete, but right now, with whatever capacity you currently have. He found that family and friends matter more than most of us acknowledge until we truly need them. He found that purpose doesn’t require a perfect body or a full working week. It requires a decision. If you are navigating life after stroke, wondering whether you can return to work, rebuild your identity, or find meaning in what remains, Marco’s story is proof that it is possible. Not easy. Not fast. But absolutely possible.

Yes, many stroke survivors do return to work, though the timeline and capacity vary depending on the severity of the stroke, the type of work, and individual recovery. Marco Calabi returned to his role as a DevOps engineer, initially working six hours a day instead of eight. The key is a gradual, supported transition. How long does it take to return to work after a stroke? Recovery timelines vary widely. Some survivors return within weeks; others need months or years. Factors include the type and severity of stroke, the physical and cognitive demands of the job, and the quality of rehabilitation support. There is no universal timeline. Patience and persistence matter more than speed. What can I expect when returning to work after a stroke? Many survivors return at reduced hours or modified duties. Adjustments to pace, task complexity, or physical demands are common. Open communication with employers and occupational therapists can help structure a gradual, sustainable return. Marco worked six-hour days and describes it simply: “I do the same things, but with different speeds.” Does returning to work help stroke recovery? For many survivors, returning to work contributes positively to recovery, providing routine, purpose, social connection, and a sense of forward momentum. Marco Calabi describes his return to work as evidence that life still had forward momentum. However, the timing must be right, and the transition should be gradual. What if I can’t return to my previous job after a stroke? Some survivors find that stroke opens doors to new kinds of purpose volunteering, writing, advocacy, or a different career direction. Marco Calabi used his recovery to write a book and speak to others about life after stroke. The key is finding what gives you meaning, even if it looks different from before.

He went through eight hours of brain surgery, wake up from a medically induced coma, left hospital in a wheelchair and went on to return to work, write a book, and find a new sense of purpose. This is a remarkable conversation. Let’s get into it. Bill Gasiamis (02:18) Marco Calabi welcome to the podcast Marco Calabi (02:21) Yes, I’m ready and thank you for your invitation. Life Before and After the Stroke Bill Gasiamis (02:27) Tell me a little bit about what your life was like before you had the stroke. Marco Calabi (02:33) Yes, before my stroke, my life was normal, I say. Working, paying bills, going outside with friends and so on. After the stroke, everything changed because… Bill Gasiamis (02:53) Yeah. Did you have a, what kind of work did you do before the stroke? Marco Calabi (02:58) Before the stroke, even after the stroke, I work ⁓ in computer science field. I’m a DevOps engineer. And after the stroke, I work a little less. Six hours, I can do eight hours before the stroke. But I do the same things. I do normal things. project something about I’m very, very, very vertical in this moment. I work in a site, the reliability engineer field. my aim is to help this system to service. to automate things. And I’m like a robot. I like a robot. Bill Gasiamis (04:05) to automate. To automate things. So, okay, to automate manual processes or something like that. Marco Calabi (04:10) ⁓ so pretty. Yes, yes, I try to automate everything because the people, the company now try to avoid to make the people to repeating things. because you want people… make more important things and the repeating things are not very important. in my opinion, diminishing view of the work. And I try to make the things better in some way. before the soak and even after the soak. I do the same things but with different speeds. Health Awareness and Stroke Causes Bill Gasiamis (05:23) Yeah. With you regards to your health, how did you view your health before the stroke? Did you think you were healthy? Did you think you were well, or was there some things that you were dealing with that were related to the stroke that occurred? Marco Calabi (05:38) Yes, before the stroke I was healthy, but I was very worried about my health because I found a lot of health problems in my body, but the problems were not there. because after the stroke, I did understand I was healthy in that moment. And the stroke teached me to understand my health better. yes, yes, yes. Bill Gasiamis (06:30) You were heavy? Marco Calabi (06:37) because I went out from the hospital with wheelchair. And now I’m able to walk. Bill Gasiamis (06:51) Aha. So were you overweight? Marco Calabi (06:56) No, no, I’m not. I had a stroke maybe because the doctors doesn’t know the motive. Perhaps, perhaps it was a genetic problem in my heart because of FOP, because a small all between the two chambers in my heart. And the mixing of the two flow bloods makes problems to the brain. And after the stroke, ⁓ the stroke happened. But I… Bill Gasiamis (07:51) Yeah, did they? Did they find a hole in your heart? Marco Calabi (07:55) Yes, yes, and I was operated in my heart. Closing, yes, closing the hole because people suffer this common problem. But sometimes the problem is huge. A lot of people… Bill Gasiamis (08:01) to fix the hull. ⁓ huh. Hmm. Marco Calabi (08:25) don’t suffer major problems. But sometimes it is very, very important. In my case, was very, very important because it created the mixing of the blood flows, created ⁓ a blood costrain. to the brain and the platypus brain ⁓ created a stroke. It is the opinion of the doctors. Bill Gasiamis (09:04) on the How old were you at the time? Marco Calabi (09:10) I softened the stroke at 47 and now I’m 51 years old. Yes. The Day of the Stroke Bill Gasiamis (09:22) 41, 47 when the stroke happened. On the day of the stroke, did you notice there was some, something wrong? Did you feel strange, feel different? Marco Calabi (09:31) Yes, during the stroke it was terrible because I did a lot. My mate called the emergency number and they thought it was a problem of annotation. the neck. And my sister, because my brother called my sister, and my sister came into my house and she understood something was wrong, because I moved my arm in the air. Bill Gasiamis (10:02) Mm-hmm. Marco Calabi (10:30) And I had, sorry, because remembering these things makes me a little uncomfortable. yes, but okay. And my sister, together with my mate, decided to call again the Belgics. and then they went to buy house and my story began. Bill Gasiamis (11:14) Hmm. So I’m going to go back for a moment and ask you about what just happened. You got uncomfortable. it emotional to talk about what happened to you sometimes? Marco Calabi (11:23) Yes, yes, yes, because I know I never accepted this thing I’m living together with it but yes, because yes, yes, because I think Bill Gasiamis (11:42) Uh-huh. You haven’t accepted it yet. Marco Calabi (11:52) I will never accept this thing. But I try to go on. I try. Bill Gasiamis (12:01) Why? Why do you think you won’t accept it? And is that helpful to not accept it? Marco Calabi (12:08) Because it is very hard to accept. Because it is not normal, in my opinion, to accept the bad things in life. ⁓ We must live together with them. Because… because we must live and stop. But living gains understanding is very different. Yes. Bill Gasiamis (12:48) If you’ve chosen to live with it and overcome the challenges that it gives, isn’t that a form of acceptance? Marco Calabi (12:58) Maybe. is, in my opinion, it is a form of acceptance. Because sooner or later I make something, I do something. And my father said it is useless to look through the ceiling. And it is a big truth. It is useless. Your life is in your hands. And you in that moment, your life is a lot in your hands. And you must decide your future because No people are able to help you. No other people, friends, family, relatives, and so on. You must do only with your strength and soul. Bill Gasiamis (14:18) Yeah. And to me, that sounds like acceptance. You have taken responsibility for the ⁓ recovery that you have to do. You’ve taken responsibility for your life. You’ve made steps to rehabilitate yourself, your emotions, your mental health. You wrote a book about what happened to you. And that sounds like you have accepted a lot of what happened to you, even though perhaps what it sounds like you’re saying maybe, and you can correct me if I’m wrong, it sounds like you’re saying, ⁓ I’m not going to give up. Writing the book “Life Change: To Hell and Back” Marco Calabi (15:02) Yes, yes, because I wrote a book because I followed a possible path because it was a path of recovering not only physical recovering but mainly mental recovery and writing the book was very helpful for me. And I hope it is helpful for others. Because in the beginning, I wrote the book because I tried to tell my story. And then I said, my story is useless. in this moment. I can make something. And so the book has another meaning. And because I want in this way to help, to share, to share. It is the right word. to share my experience. Not to… to share. To share. Bill Gasiamis (16:36) Yeah. Life change to hell and back is the English title, but you wrote the book in Italian and then had it translated to English. Correct. Marco Calabi (16:45) Yes, yes. In Italian, it is called Cambio di Vita. And in English, is ⁓ called Life Change. And to hell and back is the subtitle, because I went to tell. it was an help for me and perhaps I come back to tell to share to the others what I saw and what I did feel and I hope this experience will help in some way other people. Bill Gasiamis (17:17) Mm-hmm. Understand. Your journey started after the second time the emergency services were called to your house. What happened after that? Did they come to your house and then they took you to hospital? Did they treat you at your house? What happened? Marco Calabi (17:59) No, no, the physiotherapist and the therapist went to my house because I was not able to go to the hospital again. And then Italian hospitals decided to come directly. to my house and help me in my house. And so physiotherapists and local beauties, they were incredible. They were very, very professional and very, very helpful for me. Helped me to recover a little my body. in my speech. Bill Gasiamis (18:59) Before the recovery, I just wanted to understand what happened when you were having the stroke, the day of the stroke. your sister called the emergency services a second time. Did they take you to hospital to understand what was wrong? Marco Calabi (19:14) Yes. Yes, and I was operated immediately because my brain started to grow. And then I was operated because they didn’t want to… Bill Gasiamis (19:23) huh. Expand. Marco Calabi (19:47) to have to experience later problems. And they operated to me for eight hours. And then I was inducted with a comma. because my brain needed to rest. And then I woke up on a bed looking around and seeing people. And I remember I remembered a woman said, it is time to walk. And with a lot of difficulty, I started to walk. And then I was transferred to another hospital. to specialize ⁓ in stroke recovering. And there I was there for two months. Bill Gasiamis (21:10) Mm-hmm. And what were the deficits you needed to get rehabilitated from? Did you have problems with your body, with your limbs, with your, what was the problem? Marco Calabi (21:27) Problems with the walk, problems with the speaker. a problem to it because I was, I don’t know, it is visible. Yes, yes, because during the search they opened a hole. ⁓ Bill Gasiamis (21:47) ⁓ trick you trick you asked me Marco Calabi (22:05) And then the wall remains open for all of that time. And then I was eliminated from this wall. And one month later, the wall was… All was closed. Bill Gasiamis (22:36) Okay, so you had the chocostomy in for a long time and ⁓ they removed the chocostomy, then the hole is there, takes a month to close. Marco Calabi (22:39) Yes. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. And my mate says it seems a cross. I don’t know, I don’t. Okay, Why not? Bill Gasiamis (22:56) It seems across. ⁓ Why not? Yeah. So, so you had to also learn to walk again, which side of your body was impacted by the stroke, which one was it your left side or your right side that didn’t work. Marco Calabi (23:14) my right side my right side my leg my arms my arms my hands and okay all the right side and ⁓ i am weaker to the right side and okay Bill Gasiamis (23:16) Mm-hmm. Waker. Marco Calabi (23:38) In the beginning, I was not able to write. And then after a long, very long training, I am able to write again. Very, very slowly, but I am able. Bill Gasiamis (24:00) Mm hmm. And when you were in hospital, what was the hardest part of the recovery for you? Did you, when you started walking again, what was that like? Marco Calabi (24:14) In the hospital, never stop, always on the wheelchair. And I stop when I come back home. But yes. No, no, no, no. Bill Gasiamis (24:38) You stood up when you came back home, but in rehabilitation, you didn’t stand up. Marco Calabi (24:44) very very sad. very very sad. ⁓ Above all in the transportation for example from the wheelchair to the bed or do an exercise bicycle maybe but stop stop stop. ⁓ I remembered sometimes they tried to make me walk on the stairs, very, very, very few stairs, and tried to make ⁓ me walk in corridors and stuff. Bill Gasiamis (25:48) Okay and your arm, your right arm, you couldn’t use it at the shoulder and the hand, is that what the problem was? Marco Calabi (25:58) Yeah, I can use it. I can use it. It is weaker. A little weaker. But I can use it in this moment. When I was in the hospital, my right arm had problems. Because ⁓ the mobility was limited. And after two months, I was able to move it freely. And now I’m able to move it again in every direction. Bill Gasiamis (26:49) Hmm. ⁓ Very good. When you came home from hospital, who was at home with you? Were you living alone or did you have some family with you? Marco Calabi (26:58) No, no, no, with my family, with my sister and with my mate because my sister and my mate never leave me alone. Leave me alone. they encouraged me. Thanks God because… ⁓ I think in this moment, family, friends, relatives, mates are very, very important. Above all, in this moment. Bill Gasiamis (27:44) Was there somebody that helped guide you through the recovery? Someone that stepped up and you had a lot of support from? The Importance of Support During Recovery Marco Calabi (27:51) My Yes, my friends. Above all, one of my friends who lives in the Netherlands because he was very worried about my health. And my bait talked to him to synchronize him about my condition and after and when I went back home he was very very very present and he was very very he was a very good friend. Bill Gasiamis (28:52) understand. So he came, supported you, was very present when you came back home. Yeah. Marco Calabi (29:00) Yes, yes, yes. Above all, my mom, my sister, my baby, obviously, my friends. Because in this moment, it is a moment you understand very well the friends. more close in the friends maybe, ⁓ maybe are fearful of your situation. Bill Gasiamis (29:44) Yes, yes, very much. Lots of people get fearful ⁓ when somebody they know how to stroke, they don’t know how to help and what to do. Marco Calabi (29:53) Yes, because I think it is natural. I understand it is natural because the first thing a friend, a person who knows you in things is what I can do. And she is very fearful because the situation is huge. And I understand in this moment, in that moment, you understand very well the people. And you understand very well the quality. Bill Gasiamis (30:39) Yes. Marco Calabi (30:46) Yes, you are the same. You are the same. Bill Gasiamis (30:47) your friends. Yeah, very common, very common. Doesn’t matter if you live in Italy, America, Australia, experience is very similar. People have very similar ⁓ reporting about friendships. Marco Calabi (30:59) Yes, I don’t think it is different from country to country because we are human being and stop and and stop. ⁓ Bill Gasiamis (31:08) you People are people. What kind of things did you need help with at home? Could you go to the bathroom on your own? Could you eat on your own? What help was your family providing you? Marco Calabi (31:28) Yes, in the beginning I was helped in everything because they prepared my lunch, ⁓ they helped me to go to the bathroom, they face outside the door, checking the situation. Okay, okay, okay. I understand, okay. And then, with time, I conquered my autonomy. Because, for example, going to the bathroom, cooking something. Bill Gasiamis (31:58) Thank God. Thanks a lot. Marco Calabi (32:22) and doing my pet and so on. It is very important because in these moments you say to yourself, I’m able again. My life is not useless. It is silly to say. I know. It is very, very silly to say. But… Bill Gasiamis (32:54) in the moment, it’s probably okay in the moment, but now on reflection, it’s silly to say that, but at the moment it’s difficult and it’s a emotional experience and it’s a relief that you have and you have some autonomy now again, and you feel good about it. So yeah. Gaining Autonomy and Finding Purpose Marco Calabi (33:01) Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes, yes, you feel good because you think you have a power again. I don’t know. And it is a moment. It is a very important moment for you. I understand. I understand the luckiness. able to know because other people ⁓ has no luck ⁓ like me. Like me. And I understand. And this thing makes me run because, OK, I’m lucky and so I want Bill Gasiamis (33:55) Mm-hmm. Marco Calabi (34:11) I want to help others because I’m black. And so. Bill Gasiamis (34:16) Yes, have luck. You have a bit of luck on your side. You are improving. You’re getting better. You have autonomy. Again, you want to help other people because it’s important. Marco Calabi (34:25) Yes, very. In my opinion, it is very, very important because life otherwise is meaningless. you have to give some meaning to your life. And the stroke in some way helped me to discover my possible goal in my life. Bill Gasiamis (34:44) Yeah. calling in life, understand. So you didn’t get married, you didn’t have a family. Marco Calabi (35:09) No, I never married, but I have made a girlfriend for, I don’t know, 11, 12 years. We are like married. No, no, no, no. Bill Gasiamis (35:28) Okay, but you didn’t have children. Okay. So for you made a good point about purpose and meaning in life and helping other people. If you’re, if you don’t have family to, ⁓ fuss over to ⁓ to help out, to support, et cetera, when they’re young, like children, it could be a little bit of a gap in your life about purpose and meaning. And now that you had the stroke, you found that supporting other people provides you with some additional purpose and meaning above your relationship as well with your partner. Marco Calabi (35:50) Yes. Yes. Yes, because not ⁓ having keys makes me available, let me see, help others who have keys and maybe ⁓ they are busy, too busy. Bill Gasiamis (36:22) Yeah. Marco Calabi (36:35) for other things and I try to make ⁓ my life helpful for those ones. Bill Gasiamis (36:46) Yeah, you have more spare time and you can allocate that to helping other people. Yeah. So, you know, the Marco Calabi (36:50) Yes, yes, yes, yes. Bill Gasiamis (36:59) You talk very positively about your recovery. You’re focusing on all the positive things. You wrote a book. You want to help other people. But was there some times that you really struggled, that you had a really hard time and you needed more support emotionally or mentally? Marco Calabi (37:18) both of things. I had ⁓ moments with a lot of climate. Bill Gasiamis (37:21) Both. crying, yeah, very common. Marco Calabi (37:32) because ⁓ in those moments I was ⁓ I saw my life had problems. And for example, my mother’s teach me again ⁓ to wake on the shoes. And so in that moment, I… was I was ⁓ I… ⁓ I understood my situation very deeply. And why I wanted to prove it? Because every day I wanted to go on and every day I wanted to progress because I don’t want to live was moments again. I would like to make my life better. Bill Gasiamis (39:06) Uh-huh. Understand. Yeah. But it was difficult to make your life better because you’re just in the recovery phase. You’re very restricted. Things are difficult. The Power of Mindset in Recovery Marco Calabi (39:14) Yes. It is very, very, important the presence of your family, of your friends, because otherwise I would not be here. ⁓ Bill Gasiamis (39:40) Yeah, that helped to bring you back. Marco Calabi (39:41) Yes, yes. And then after their help, you must help yourself. Because I understand, I understand you have everything to complain, but complaining is useless. It’s useless. Bill Gasiamis (39:54) as well. Marco Calabi (40:09) Complaining is natural, but it must be very short. A moment of self-reflection, a moment and stop. And then you must do something for yourself and stop. Stop to look to the ceiling. This useless. I wanted to say this useless. Bill Gasiamis (40:45) Yeah, I agree. But it’s something we all do. We all find ourselves complaining about our situation, but as long as you don’t stay there for a long amount of time, you can do the complaint and then move on and continue looking at things that you… Marco Calabi (40:57) Hmm. Hmm. Yes, Complaining is not a part, it’s a mainly part of my spirit. I complain ⁓ very, very few times. I understand people are different and the complaining is different, but… You must very, very, very aware of your situation and this stroke maybe makes you aware, more aware about yourself, about your problems, about your weakness and starting, starting, I interline, starting. from that you can go on. Bill Gasiamis (42:04) You can go on. Yeah, I agree. When you complain about things, like what kind of things is okay to complain about? Like in Italy, if the pasta is not cooked al dente, you must complain. Marco Calabi (42:23) Okay, yeah. Okay, yes, yes. Bill Gasiamis (42:24) you It’s important. You have to tell the chef, I’m sorry, the pasta is not al dente. You have to take it back. Marco Calabi (42:35) Okay, but you complain, you learn to complain about very important things. Yes. Bill Gasiamis (42:46) Yes, it’s feedback. It’s not complaining. It’s feedback. My food is not al dente and I need you to make it again so I can eat it because I can’t eat like this. It’s too cooked. Marco Calabi (42:51) What? I never was, I never liked a very, very precious food and I ate everything. I tasted everything, I ate everything. Even in the hospital, I ate everything. Life Lessons Learned Post-Stroke Bill Gasiamis (43:24) Is Italian hospital food good or is it terrible? Marco Calabi (43:31) It is a hospital book. And so it is very light. It is very, very, very simple. And it is very teachable. it is not a good book. Bill Gasiamis (43:43) Yeah. Yeah. You spoke a little bit earlier about how you have to go on with your life. So looking back now, how have you changed the way that you go about your life? How do you do things differently now? Marco Calabi (44:15) everything, everything, everything. I looked at the life in different way because I put the things in different priorities, working, having good time with friends and so on. Because before stroke you… to think about the things you do every day, but you don’t do that. Those ones. Then after the stroke, you start to do immediately the things. You don’t want to wait for things, the right moment and stop. Because the right moment, you understand, is now, not after, not tomorrow, not the next week. Now, it is a new way of singing life. You stop to wake because you understand time is very very precious. Bill Gasiamis (45:50) Yeah, and we may not have tomorrow. Understand. Marco Calabi (45:53) Yes, yes, you must do the things now and stop. As you can. You must not be a Superman. You must not do ⁓ things, a lot of things. You must do what you can and stop. But you must do. Bill Gasiamis (46:24) Yeah. Marco Calabi (46:25) and stop. Not tomorrow, not in one week, and not in one month. Now. You must do now. And stop. Never you understand, never stop you. Bill Gasiamis (46:47) Yeah, I agree. Once you have a stroke, you realize that you are mortal and that maybe you don’t have… Marco Calabi (46:53) It’s just… Bill Gasiamis (46:58) another 50 years or 40 years ahead of you. maybe you need to do, take more action, do more things, have the experiences you want to experience, whatever you can, I agree. ⁓ It’s something I think that is a good way to inspire people who have had a stroke, who have injuries, that you can find a way to do something that you want to do that you haven’t done. Inspiring Others Through Personal Experience Marco Calabi (47:24) Yes. Bill Gasiamis (47:24) that you love. very important to try and get it done, find a way to make it happen. Even if you’re in a wheelchair, even if it’s difficult, even if you need a lot of planning, you know, has to be something that you tick, you tick off your list of things to do. Marco Calabi (47:42) And it is not important what type of disease you suffer, cancer, stroke, leukemia, so on. It is, in my opinion, very important your mind, the way your mind, the way… Bill Gasiamis (48:10) your minds. Marco Calabi (48:10) want you, your mindset, the way you want to go on and stop. But I want, I want, I want to tell my story. Maybe, tell. If I am able to go on, everyone is able to go on. Bill Gasiamis (48:19) Yeah. Marco Calabi (48:41) It is not something special. Everyone can go to work and so Bill Gasiamis (48:51) Yeah, I agree. Everyone should go on with their life in some capacity as much as they can. ⁓ Yeah, that’s excellent. What about strengths? What have you discovered in yourself that you didn’t know was there? Did you uncover some new powers, some new strength, some better understanding of what you’re capable of? Has it been a learning experience for you to Marco Calabi (49:05) Okay. Yes. Yes, after the writing of my books was a moment of reflection because in that moment I asked to myself, I’m able to write a book, so what can block me? And in this moment, in that moment, I was able to do other things. Maybe here write another book, like choosing a social media manager for my Facebook and Instagram and asking. to hospitals and associations to tell my stories, creating podcasts and so on because writing the book created a moment, a precise moment of going forward. And in that moment, I aware. of my powers and my skills to go on. It was… Bill Gasiamis (51:02) Yeah. Yeah. You wrote a book, you did podcasts, you helped your community by speaking. You did all these things that you haven’t done before the stroke. Marco Calabi (51:10) Yes. Yes, and for example, now I’m discussing with a company for a possible speech of myself to inspire other people. And I’m telling the truth. I’m very, very happy because I hope this… Bill Gasiamis (51:30) Yeah. Marco Calabi (51:41) will ⁓ create something beautiful because I’m available to tell my story, to sell, perhaps something helpful. My best friend. Bill Gasiamis (52:01) Yeah, you know what I like about what I like about strokes and bio-codes? Sorry, go ahead. Marco Calabi (52:08) My best friend said, you are wiser. I don’t know. don’t know. I don’t know. Yes, yes. Before, was very hard. I was very, because my father was very hard. And I learned. Bill Gasiamis (52:19) Wiser. Wiser than before. Maybe. Marco Calabi (52:37) to be very hard. after the stroke, understood that heartless is useless because you reach the hearts of people with softness, not with heartlessness. Heartlessness makes ⁓ you more hateful. and not more lovable. Bill Gasiamis (53:10) Yeah, understand. Yes, I agree. Very wise. That’s very wise. Very wise. ⁓ You know what I like about your telling your story in for another organization or to inspire people is a lot of the people in the audience will not have had a stroke or another health issue or anything like that. Marco Calabi (53:11) Go on, go on, sorry. Yes. Bill Gasiamis (53:37) And what I like about it is that now there’s several years have passed since your stroke. So you’re standing on a stage telling your story. And one day, if those people happen to have a stroke or a negative medical experience, they have a picture in their mind of once upon a time, I was sitting in a room and there was this gentleman who… told his story and he was telling us about how he overcame his challenges, how he ⁓ improved, how he got better. And maybe those people who are unwell now because something happened to them, like everybody in life, things go wrong. Maybe they could say, I remember that man and the story that he told me, and maybe I can take some action and do similar things and get better. Marco Calabi (54:27) Mm-hmm. Bill Gasiamis (54:32) like he did. Marco Calabi (54:32) Yes. I tell the truth. It is not easy. It’s not easy. The experience is made of steps. In steps, steps. In the beginning, I… Bill Gasiamis (54:50) steps. Marco Calabi (54:58) You want to prove yourself, you are able to do things. And these are very important to you. And then you change. Steps, you change. Because the situation is changing. And you cannot, cannot, get things before you experience all the steps. It is, in my opinion, impossible. You must live every step. The first steps are physical. And then your mind changes. But the first steps are physical and soft. and you can you must you must us us us let that eat you must us let you be because you are not a superman you are not a special man and every every person experience these steps little by little and so you must aware of this situation. Otherwise, try to go forward faster. And in my opinion, it is a very wrong way to go on. Bill Gasiamis (56:55) Very wise, my friend. Marco Calabi (56:56) Thank you, thank you! Thank you, thank you! Bill Gasiamis (57:03) Your friend was correct when he said that you are much more wise now. I agree with him. Marco Calabi (57:07) Okay, okay, okay. I will report you. Bill Gasiamis (57:15) Report back to him, let him know that I agree with him. Now, your book is available online, correct? We can get it on Amazon, everywhere. Marco Calabi (57:21) Yes. Okay. Because in Italy, ⁓ I found a publisher. In the world, I decided to publish myself the book because I wanted to spread my story. as full as possible, I would say. And so I think what is the best platform, in my opinion, it is in this moment, Amazon. Because it can provide a digital version, paper version. ⁓ Bill Gasiamis (58:07) Yeah. Marco Calabi (58:18) is only for US countries and so on. Instead, digital fashion is worldwide. And so, it is very powerful because I can reach every person in the world. Bill Gasiamis (58:44) Yes, hopefully. Marco Calabi (58:45) It was my idea. And I started and I make my book translated. I published it in Amazon. I created a digital paperback version and so on because I wanted to make it available. Very, very much. Bill Gasiamis (59:19) Yes, indeed. you have well done. I’m going to have a link to the Amazon ⁓ book. And also you will send me some links to ⁓ any other areas you would like us to send people if they’re interested to find out more information about it. I thank you for reaching out and joining me on the podcast. I very much appreciate it. It’s nice to meet you and to hear your story and all the best with your ongoing recovery.

Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:How Gratitude, Polarity, and Purpose Became the New Business StrategyWARNING - SUICIDE IS MENTIONEDI have a problem with internet marketers.I've said it on this show before. The hype. The manipulation. The endless tactics designed to separate people from their money. So when Charles Gaudet reached out — founder of Predictable Profits, former internet marketer — I invited him on and asked him directly.What do you have to say for yourself?What he said stopped me.Charles didn't defend it. He walked away from it years ago. Not because it stopped working. Because he couldn't sleep at night.And then things got worse. Much worse. There was a moment driving alone when the pain got so heavy he found himself hoping someone would hit him head on. Just to end it.He made it home. And somewhere in that silence he started saying thank you. He didn't know why. He just couldn't stop. Thank you, thank you. That rock bottom moment sent him on a search that led him to Dr. John Demartini, to Marshall Thurber,to gain an understanding of the power of gratitude and where his reaction came from. In my world I see immediately that he uses the law of polarity to create an outcome he wants. When everything falls apart, you ask — where is the opportunity I can't see yet?That question became his entire business model.He stopped chasing leads and focused on what would help him build his impact. He stopped selling and started solving clients problems. He rebuilt his company around one principle — you get paid in direct proportion to the value you create for others. And from that foundation he built Predictable Profits, helping founders escape the trap of a business that depends entirely on them — and replace it with systems that create consistent, month after month growth.87% of his clients had their best year ever during COVID. In the hardest hit industries in the world.In this episode Charles breaks down how gratitude works as a strategic tool, why most founders are solving the wrong problem, and what it actually takes to build a business that grows without costing you everything else.What I took from this conversation is that the old internet marketing playbook didn't just stop working. It was always the wrong game. And Charles is living proof that when you change what you're optimizing for, everything else changes with it.#FoundersOfTheFuture #BusinessGrowth #PredictableProfitsResources Mentioned:Website | LinkedIn | Instagram | Facebook_____________________We appreciate you, thank you for listening.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Jumat, 6 Maret 2026Bacaan: "Karena kita mempunyai banyak saksi, bagaikan awan yang mengelilingi kita, marilah kita menanggalkan semua beban dan dosa yang begitu merintangi, dan berlomba dengan tekun dalam perlombaan yang diwajibkan bagi kita." (Ibrani 12:1)Renungan: Suatu ketika di sebuah sekolah, diadakan pementasan drama. Setiap anak mendapat peran dan memakai kostum sesuai dengan tokoh yang mereka perankan. Semuanya tampak serius, sebab Pak Guru akan memberikan hadiah kepada anak yang tampil terbaik dalam pentas. Di depan panggung, semua orangtua murid ikut hadir dan menyaksikan acara itu. Pertunjukkan drama berjalan dengan sempurna. Semua anak tampil dengan maksimal. Ada yang berperan sebagai petani, ada juga yang menjadi nelayan. Di sudut sana, tampak pula seorang anak dengan raut muka ketus, sebab dia kebagian peran pak tua yang pemarah, sementara di sudut lain, terlihat anak dengan wajah sedih, layaknya pemurung yang selalu menangis. Tibalah kini akhir dari pementasan drama. Itu berarti, sudah saatnya Pak Guru mengumumkan siapa yang berhak mendapatkan hadiah. Pak Guru telah menaiki panggung, dan tak lama kemudian ia menyebutkan sebuah nama. Aha... ternyata anak yang menjadi pak tua pemarahlah yang menjadi juara. Dengan wajah berbinar, sang anak bersorak gembira. "Aku menang...." begitu ucapnya. la pun bergegas menuju ke panggung diiringi kedua orangtuanya yang tampak bangga. Tepuk tangan riuh terdengar. Sang orangtua menatap sekeliling, ke seluruh hadirin. Mereka sangat bangga. Sebelum menyerahkan hadiah, Pak Guru sedikit bertanya kepada sang juara, "Nak, kamu memang hebat. Kamu pantas mendapatkannya. Peranmu sebagai seorang yang pemarah terlihat bagus sekali. Apa rahasianya ya, sehingga kamu bisa tampil sebaik ini?" Sang anak menjawab, "Terima kasih atas hadiahnya Pak. Sebenarnya saya harus berterima kasih kepada Ayah saya. Karena dari Ayahlah saya belajar berteriak dan menjadi pemarah. Kepada Ayahlah saya meniru perilaku ini. Ayah sering berteriak kepada saya, maka bukan hal yang sulit untuk menjadi pemarah seperti ayah." Tampak sang Ayah mulai tercenung. Sang anak melanjutkan, "Ayah membesarkan saya dengan cara seperti ini, jadi peran ini adalah peran yang mudah bagi saya." Suasana menjadi senyap. Kedua orangtua sang anak di atas panggung, tampak tertunduk. Jika sebelumnya mereka merasa bangga, kini keadaannya berubah. Seakan mereka berdiri sebagai terdakwa di muka pengadilan. Mereka belajar sesuatu hari itu. Ada yang perlu diluruskan dengan perilaku mereka. Marilah berhati-hati dengan perilaku kita, karena ada banyak saksi yang mengelilingi kita, yang melihat apa yang kita katakan dan kita lakukan. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, penuhilah aku dengan kuasa Roh-Mu, sehingga aku bisa mengendalikan setiap perkataan dan perbuatanku, agar tidak menjadi batu sandungan bagi orang lain. Amin. (Dod).

Schönheit gilt oft als etwas Persönliches. Doch was wir im Spiegel sehen und wie wir es bewerten, ist gesellschaftlich stärker geprägt, als viele denken. In dieser Folge von „Aha! Zehn Minuten Alltagswissen“ geht es darum, wie Schönheitsideale entstehen, wer sie bestimmt und welche Rolle Macht und Geschichte spielen. Zu Gast ist die Migrations- und Rassismusforscherin Noa K. Ha vom Deutschen Zentrum für Integrations- und Migrationsforschung. Im zweiten Teil des Podcasts widmen wir uns einer der bekanntesten Alltagsfragen überhaupt: Was war zuerst da – das Huhn oder das Ei? "Aha!

In this episode of Two Pastors and a Mic, we wrap up our deconstruction/reconstruction mini-series with a question a lot of people ask: Which one is harder—deconstruction or reconstruction?We start with a little Nashville recap, then we get honest about what this journey actually feels like in real life. One of the biggest takeaways: the “harder vs. easier” question might not even be the right lens. The better questions are: What am I building now? What am I a part of? And is it beautiful?We talk about why reconstruction can feel heavier—because there's no blueprint, growth becomes less visible, freedom requires discernment, and you're often doing deep internal work that nobody can see. But we also talk about the hope on the other side: steadiness, less fear, more humility, more peace, and a clearer vision of a Jesus who gets bigger and brighter as you go.If you're in the middle space—unsure, rebuilding, or feeling alone—you're not crazy. You're not losing faith. You're being formed.In this episode:Deconstruction vs. reconstruction (and why it's not a simple comparison)Why reconstruction feels slower, heavier, and more internalThe “no blueprint” reality—and the challenge of freedomThe question that filters everything: Is it beautiful?What this season is forming in you (righteousness, peace, joy)Why safe people matter when you're rebuilding00:58 - Red Wings vs Predators jersey drama03:14 - Why Cory came in hot + wrapping the 26 Life mini-series04:49 - Big question: Which is harder—deconstruction or reconstruction?05:43 - Deconstruction as demolition (and the tension of “throw it all out”)06:33 - Deconstruction felt powerless, stuck, uncertain07:52 - Clarifying “powerful”: disruption vs the fallout of “now what?”08:12 - Cottage renovation analogy: nostalgia, attachment, and letting things go10:21 - Aha moments, permission, and finding language in deconstruction12:41 - Why reconstruction can feel heavier: nuance, layers, reconciliation14:30 - David & Goliath example: living without forced answers16:40 - Moving from “what's wrong?” to “what am I building now?”17:29 - The filter question: Is it beautiful?

Wer bin ich? Das sollen mir Tests wie der 16personalities oder der Big Five Test beantworten können. Aber: wie wissenschaftlich fundiert sind solche Persönlichkeitstests? Welche Mechanismen liegen ihnen zu Grunde? Das erklärt in dieser Folge von "Aha! Zehn Minuten Alltagswissen" Prof. Stefan Schmukle. Er ist Professor am Lehrstuhl für Persönlichkeitspsychologie und Psychologische Diagnostik an der Universität Leipzig. Kleiner Hinweis: Beim Rechenbeispiel zum Big Five Test nennt Dr. Schmukle 10⁵ Persönlichkeitsprofile, das entspricht 100.000, nicht 10.000. Unser Experte hat im Interview eine Null vergessen.

Welcome to the YOU CAN CALL ME “BOSSY” PODCAST! In this quick hit episode I invite us into a cozy moment recorded from my bedroom during a spontaneous staycation. Instead of escaping the cold for Mexico, I am embracing the chance to hit pause, reflect, and dive deep into the real stories that shape our journeys as high achievers. Inspired by a powerful conversation with a new client, this episode unpacks the common feeling of losing ourselves along the way even when we know we're capable of incredible things. I offer compassionate reminders: there's nothing wrong with you, you've already been successful, and the so called glass ceiling might just be one we've created ourselves. If you ever ask yourself, “What happened to me?” or wonder how to get back to your most powerful self, this episode is for you. Let's explore together how to reframe our stories, break through self-imposed barriers, and remember the magic we already have within. Key Takeaways: The balance between acknowledging real societal glass ceilings and the personal ones created by mindset. Emphasis on the reality of women's mental and physical health fluctuations. The idea that success may require evolving and upgrading one's mindset and strategies.

Episode Summary In this episode, Joe sits down with Nicholas Poletto, Vice President of Wine Education at Kobrand Fine Wine & Spirits. Nick shares his unconventional journey into the wine world—starting from a job he hated, to selling wine in Manhattan, to moving to New Zealand to learn winemaking, and ultimately becoming one of the most respected wine educators in the industry. The conversation covers how he discovered his passion for wine, what his job really entails (both the romantic and the gritty parts), his pursuit of the elite Master of Wine title, and why the people in the wine industry make it all worthwhile. Nick also paints a vivid picture of what he calls the most romantic wine destination on earth. Whether you're a wine lover, a curious professional, or someone dreaming about a career in wine, this episode is packed with inspiration and insider perspective. Key Topics & Highlights Nick's Unlikely Origin Story His first "real job" was a miserable relocation-company gig in a windowless office. A coworker suggested the wine industry because he loved languages and travel. His first wine experience? Volunteering for a tiny New Hampshire winery on weekends. Within six months he was selling wine in New York City. Breaking Into Wine Sales Started in 100% commission sales — "what you kill is what you eat." A pivotal moment: losing a major sales opportunity because he didn't know what Sancerre was. That failure became the turning point that drove him to pursue formal education through WSET. Education Changed Everything WSET opened the door to Bordeaux, Burgundy, Italy, and beyond. Once he gained knowledge, accounts started calling him — his "aha" moment. Led him to teach WSET and build a strong foundation in wine theory. A Life-Changing Leap Despite big earnings, Nick quit his job to move to New Zealand and learn winemaking firsthand. Worked in vineyards, scrubbed tanks, explored the entire country. Returned to the U.S. and joined Kobrand, eventually becoming VP of Wine Education. What a Wine Educator Really Does Trains distributor sales teams across the entire U.S. Teaches eight-hour seminars (intermediate + advanced). Creates educational materials, books, presentations, and a training podcast. Travels extensively domestically and internationally to visit producers. Gains rare behind‑the‑scenes access at wineries, vineyards, and cellars. The Glamorous Side (Yes, There Is One) Visiting world-class estates around the globe. Foot-treading grapes, learning barrel-making, touring historic caves. Experiencing local cuisine with winemakers — the true insider version. Witnessing wine regions in their natural beauty: Rhone cliffs, Douro terraces, Piedmont hills. Nick's First Wine Love: Barolo The region of Barolo in Piedmont gave him his personal "Aha!" wine moment. A vineyard tasting showed him how wines made identically can taste completely different due to terroir just 10 feet apart. That realization cemented his lifelong passion. The Most Romantic Wine Destination: Beaune, France Nick's pick for the most magical spot in the wine world: The village of Beaune in Burgundy. Cobblestone streets, markets, fireside cafés, truffle-centered cuisine. A perfect bicycle route through legendary villages like Volnay, Pommard, and Montrachet. An unforgettable day of bread, cheese, vineyard views, and world-class Pinot Noir & Chardonnay. So You Want Nick's Job? Start with education (WSET, Society of Wine Educators, Court of Master Sommeliers). Get frontline experience with a distributor to understand the sales side. Be prepared for travel, airports, long days, and lots of time away from home. The reward? A job filled with passion, authenticity, and incredible people.

Es ist ein kleines Wort mit einer großen Bedeutung "Entschuldigung". Es ist aber auch ein Wort, das nicht allen immer leicht über die Lippen geht und bei dem es tatsächlich auch darauf ankommt, wie man es sagt. Was macht eine gute Entschuldigung aus? Entschuldigen wir uns vielleicht auch zu oft? Und was, wenn der andere die Entschuldigung nicht akzeptiert? Antworten auf diese und mehr Fragen gibt in dieser Folge die Wirtschaftspsychologin Eva Schulte-Austum. Außerdem beantwortet sie die Frage: Verlieren wir automatisch Vertrauen, wenn wir Fehler machen?

Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:When Your Body Knows Before You Do The Breakdown That Became the BreakthroughShe was driving home from work at 65 miles per hour when she passed out behind the wheel.Bumper to bumper traffic. Rush hour. Foot still on the gas.She came to, rolled down the windows in 40 degree weather, and kept driving. Because stopping wasn't something she knew how to do.That night she ended up in the emergency room. Doctors thought she'd had a stroke.Melinda Colón had spent nearly 20 years in corporate America running a system that was never built for her. Deadlines that weren't hers to control. Perfection that wasn't hers to define. A ladder she was climbing toward a life she hadn't chosen.Her body said no before she could.In that forced stillness something shifted. The veil lifted. The identity she had been performing cracked open. And underneath it was someone she hadn't yet given herself permission to be.From that moment Melinda rebuilt everything — this time on her own terms. Today she helps established business owners build predictable, recurring revenue through government contracts. Done right, on purpose, from alignment. With room to have a life.In this episode Melinda shares how she recognized the warning signs she had been ignoring, what it actually took to choose herself, and how rebuilding her identity first made everything in her business possible after.If you are pushing through something your body keeps trying to tell you — listen to this episode before it tells you louder.

Mention Texas and you might picture the Wild West — flat, dusty highways, and tumbleweeds rolling by. But head to Austin, tucked into the Hill Country, and you'll find something different. Right in the heart of the city flows Lady Bird Lake, a stretch of the Colorado River that has become a daily gathering place for runners, paddlers, and rowers alike. On its banks sits a true Austin institution: Texas Rowing Center. For owner Matt Knifton, this place isn't just a business, it's where his story unfolded. His ties to the lake reach back to the 1980s, and over the decades he's become not just an owner, but a steward — someone who has quietly shaped the culture of rowing in Austin, protected access to the water, and ensured that this shoreline remains a starting line for generations to come. In this conversation, we also explore how Matt is thinking about the future — and what thoughtful, sustainable growth looks like for a place so deeply rooted in community. .

Dr. Andy Southerland and Dr. Shyam Prabhakaran explain the significance of these guidelines and why they are important.  Show citation:  Prabhakaran S, Gonzalez NR, Zachrison KS, et al. 2026 Guideline for the Early Management of Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Guideline From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. Stroke. Published online January 26, 2026. doi:10.1161/STR.0000000000000513  Show transcript:  Dr. Andy Southerland: Hello everyone. This is Andy Southerland from the University of Virginia. And for this week's Neurology Minute, I've just been speaking with my colleague, Shyam Prabhakaran, from the University of Chicago, who was the Chair of the 2026 AHA/ASA guidelines for the early management of patients with Acute Ischemic stroke published in the January 2026 online version of the journal, Stroke. So Shyam, in our brief Neurology Minute today, why don't you just give a plea about why these guidelines are so important? Dr. Shyam Prabhakaran: Thanks, Andy. These guidelines are the first guidelines since 2019, so a lot has happened. So when you look at these guidelines, you'll see a lot of new recommendations. In fact, I think the majority have been revised in some way or another. And I'd point to the actual guideline document, which is in the journal Stroke online January '26, and the print version will be for the March edition of the journal Stroke. In addition to that, I'd say because you want to have interpretability and ease of practice, there are a bunch of derivatives on the AHA website that are very useful. They include case studies, they include figures and workflows that could be really useful for you to have these conversations. And there's even a slide deck that was prepared by our AHA ambassadors. There are these young whippersnappers that did a great job putting together a slide deck for anyone to use. They can use that to have conversations locally or anywhere they want. I encourage people, read the guidelines, but then also use the derivative products that people spent a lot of time on developing. Dr. Andy Southerland: Thank you, Shyam. I think that's a great message from the Chair of the writing group, that when you look at these guidelines, they can seem daunting. But the way you all have provided all these additional resources and analogs for people to interpret it and apply it in their own stroke centers and practice, I think folks definitely will be running out to do that, just to seek out the full guideline, and let's apply all this great new evidence to better care for our patients. So Shyam, thanks again for joining us for this week's Neurology Minute.

In this episode of the You Can Call Me “Bossy" podcast. I sit down with the ever inspiring Amanda Gore, a renowned keynote speaker and author whose transformative presence has left an indelible mark on women's conferences and audiences around the world. The conversation takes us on a journey from my first meeting with her back in 2019 to deep personal philosophies on joy, overcoming fear, and the evolution of self confidence especially for women who've been called “bossy,” “intimidating,” or “controlling.” Amanda opens up about her own path of self awareness, why women uplifting each other is so crucial, and how labels and judgments often say more about the person using them than those they're aimed at. We explore practical strategies and soulful insights for moving from fear to love, embracing surrender, and the power of self love and acceptance especially for high performing women ready to step more fully into their purpose. Whether you're grappling with imposter syndrome, looking to align more deeply with your heart, or simply in need of a dose of inspiration, this episode is a must listen. Get ready for stories, actionable advice, and a beautiful reminder that joy and leadership starts on the inside. Key Takeaways: Working on self reflection, self awareness, and evolving past labels. The importance of validating and supporting each other. Embracing self love, grace, and working through learned stories.

Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:Why Prosperity Is an Internal System, Not a NumberMoney is believed to solve many, if not all, issues.Most of us don't consciously reject wealth. We say we want it. We work for it. We chase growth. We build teams, products, and systems. And yet income plateaus. There's a barrier we can't seem to break through, even though our capability clearly exceeds our current results.Then it shifts.The deal lands.The raise comes through.The windfall hits.For a moment, there is relief. Validation. Proof.And then something else surfaces.The inherited beliefs. The subtle conditioning. The narratives we absorbed about money, power, and what kind of person wealthy people are. Questions start to move in: Did I just get lucky? Can I sustain this? Do I deserve this level of success? Why does this not feel the way I imagined it would?That is why I invited Randy Gage onto the show.Randy has spent decades studying prosperity through the lens of our internal operating system. His own life forced him into that inquiry. He was arrested and jailed at 15. At 30, the IRS seized his business. He eventually confronted a difficult truth: he wanted money consciously, but subconsciously held beliefs that made prosperity incompatible with who he thought he was. As long as that contradiction existed, he sabotaged himself.In this episode of The Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future, he shares the belief that kept him stuck and the work required to dismantle it. We talk about programming, identity, and why income ceilings are often belief ceilings.If you sense you have a money story that limits your ability to create joyful and unapologetic wealth, this conversation will challenge you to go deeper than hustle and tactics.Wealth without apology begins with examining the system that produces your results.Whether you are pushing against an old story and struggling financially, just beginning your journey, or already sitting on significant success, this episode is worth your time.#WealthWithoutApology #FoundersOfTheFuture #Prosperity #MoneyStoryRandy Gage Resources: Website | LinkedIn | Instagram | YouTube_____________________We appreciate you, thank you for listening.

Today's conversation will transform your thinking about emotions. Instead of viewing emotions as negative experiences to push away or control, our guest helps us understand them as our body's guidance system, much like a compass that helps us navigate. Fear and anger, often thought of as negative emotions, are the body's survival mechanisms that are designed to protect our lives. You'll discover practical insights on recognizing physical sensations, befriending your feelings, and using emotional intelligence to become a better coach and leader. Want to know more about relating to your own emotions and showing up as your best for your clients? Join us to learn more!Joie Seldon, MA, is the founder of the Emotional Evolution Institute and the author of Emotions: An Owner's Manual. An innovator in emotional intelligence, she is a life and professional success coach and EQ trainer. She has worked with clients at NASA, AT&T, Wells Fargo, Blue Shield, Dolby, and others. Her clients range from tech professionals and healthcare workers to C-suite executives. With 25 years of experience as an actor and acting teacher, 10 years as a somatic psychology therapist, and a lifetime of personal growth engagement, Joie has developed an innovative approach to teaching people how to release limiting behaviors and use their emotions as the powerful guidance system they are meant to be.Show Highlights:Misconceptions, judgments, and misunderstandings about emotionsGrowing the relationship with your emotions, especially fear and anger, by recognizing and tolerating the sensations you experienceOur feelings and thinking have to work together.The message of fear is “pay attention.”The results when people shift their perspective on emotionsDealing with emotions that arise in coaching conversationsUnderstanding the difference between stress tears and sad tearsThe value of taking private time to process your grief and effectively giving others space for their grief and discomfortA coach's job is not to rescue or “fix”; everyone just wants to be seen and heard.Joie's top “Aha moments” with clientsWhat coaches should understand about emotions being used as a compass“Emotions are energy in motion.” (Be curious about emotions.)Joie's key takeaway for listeners: “Emotions are the link between the tangible and intangible.

Through the story of the protagonist Morgan, Jeff illustrates the profound shift from being a "product pusher" to a "trusted advisor."We explore the "Aha!" moments that every veteran sales rep has faced: the realization that customers aren't looking for the most innovative technology—they're looking for the story that makes them feel safest. Jeff breaks down the "Advisor Lens," teaching us how to ask the hard questions like, "What would make you look foolish in this deal?" and why getting invited into the customer's story is the only way to ensure the deal doesn't break in the other room.Support the showScott SchlofmanMike Williams - Cell 801-635-7773 #sales #podcast #customerfirst #relationships #success #pipeline #funnel #sales success #selling #salescoach

Welcome to the YOU CAN CALL ME “BOSSY” PODCAST! In this quick hit episode I go into the powerful idea that "You Get to Have What You Want." Inspired by a real life coaching conversation, I share how one of my clients learned to break free from limiting beliefs and guilt around receiving support especially as a busy full time mom, employee, and household manager. Through practical steps, you'll hear how shifting your mindset and being clear about your desires can help you not only ask for, but actually get, the help and solutions you need. If you're feeling stuck, or unsure if it's even possible to have everything you want, this episode is sure to spark new perspectives and give you the encouragement to explore what's truly possible. Key Takeaways: Be crystal clear about what you need. Vague expectations lead to vague results. If you keep telling yourself something doesn't exist, you'll only look for proof that you're right. Open your mind to new possibilities. Once you believe it's possible, start taking steps to write your list, ask your network, and seek creative solutions.

Get 20% off through February 17:http://bit.ly/fitness-lab-pod20--You've been told cardio is for a healthy heart and lifting weights is for building muscle. But what if strength training is itself a form of cardio?What if you're ignoring one of the most effective tools for lowering blood pressure, improving cholesterol, and reducing your risk of heart disease?Philip breaks down the evidence showing that strength training lowers blood pressure on par with first-line medication, improves HDL and LDL cholesterol, enhances insulin sensitivity, and reduces visceral fat, all independent of cardio. You'll learn why your muscle tissue functions as a metabolic organ that regulates blood sugar, why adults who lift have up to 17% lower cardiovascular disease risk, and how to program your lifting sessions to get a real cardiovascular training effect without adding time on the treadmill. Philip also answers listener Jack R.'s question comparing cardio and lifting head-to-head for fat loss, muscle building, and long-term sustainability after 40. Whether you're already strength training over 40 or still treating the weight room as optional for heart health and longevity, this episode gives you the evidence-based case for making lifting your foundation.Timestamps:0:00 - Why "cardio for your heart" is incomplete 1:43 - The 2023 AHA statement about lifting weights and heart health 5:28 - How strength training lowers blood pressure as much as medication 7:11 - Nitric oxide, arterial stiffness, and improved blood vessels 9:27 - Cholesterol, triglycerides, and ApoB improvements 13:17 - Why muscle is your most powerful metabolic organ for insulin and blood sugar 15:20 - Cardio vs. lifting for fat loss and building muscle after 40 18:01 - Visceral fat, inflammation, and menopause 19:47 - Can lifting weights improve VO2max? 22:01 - Longevity data and the minimum dose of strength training for heart health 23:57 - How to get cardiovascular benefits WITHOUT extra cardio 26:04 - Rest periods, compound movements, and rep ranges for heart-healthy lifting 28:59 - Weekly template combining strength training and walking 30:59 - Physical reserve and why strength protects your heart all day 33:04 - Bonus: 10-second heart rate recovery test you can do between sets

In this engaging conversation, Patrick Grimes shares his journey from a career in automation robotics and machine design to becoming a private investor. He details the lessons learned from experiencing foreclosure during the 2008/2009 market downturn, which led him to develop his "Three Rings of Investment" philosophy: seeking recession resilience, non-correlation, and insulation from AI disruption. Grimes critiques publicly traded Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) in what he calls "The Ruse of REITs," arguing they are "publicly traded paper" that lack the core tax and inflation-hedging benefits of direct real estate. He also emphasizes the power of partnership to build a stable, hyper-diversified portfolio and discusses high-return alternative asset classes like commercial debt, legal funding, and medical receivables.Ultimate Show Notes:01:48 - Patrick Grimes's Background and Career03:57 - The 'Aha' Moment: Advice to Invest in Alternatives, Not Stocks05:56 - Early Setback: Foreclosure and Learning Recession Resilience10:38 - Overview of Passive Investing Mastery (PIM)12:53 - The Three Rings of Investment: Recession Resilience, Non-Correlation, and AI Insulation14:55 - The Risk of AI Disruption in Investments23:49 - "The Ruse of REITs" and Stock Market Correlation30:23 - The Power of Partnership and Hyper-Diversification34:15 - Discussion of Returns in Private Credit and Debt Funds39:00 - High-Return, Low-Risk Boutique Alternatives (Legal Funding, Medical Receivables)Connect with Patrick:www.passiveinvestingmastery.com/bookpatrickgrimes@passiveinvestingmastery.comLearn More About Accountable Equity:  Visit Us: http://www.accountableequity.com/   Access eBook: https://accountableequity.com/case-study/#register Turn your unique talent into capital and achieve the life you were destined to live.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comThis interview is a replay of a 2-part series I did with survivor Cali Shai Bergandi back in 2021. All information said is more relevant today than ever and deserves a playback and re-listenLET'S BREAK THE INTERNET! This story is going to twist and turn and bend your mind in ways you won't be expecting, and you won't see the world the same after listening to Part 1 of this series featuring elite child sex trafficking, NASA, SRA, occult survivor, whistleblower, and SO much more, Cali Shai Bergandi. This is her first time speaking publicly about her life experiences and I encourage you all to give her your full attention as you take in what she is exposing...Cali's story is so complex. So complex that it was hard to even know where to begin. So, we started at the beginning and are going to compile a few episodes for you to take in the enormity of her personal experiences, allegations, name drops, and information she is exposing.Born into a high level occultic family, Cali's birth mother sold her to the elite before she was even born as part of the breeder programs that are a feature of satanic cults and her father functioned as a satanic serial killer in the dark and as a charming businessman working in the fruit business by day. And this is just the beginning of the enormous rabbit hold Cali is going to take us down over the next couple weeks...In this episode, we discuss Cali's 'upbringing' (aka: abuse), and we also dive into some experiences that we'll be covering more in depth on future episodes including personal experiences with Ep-stein, NASA child experiments, The Royal Family, MK ULTRA, being trafficked to sitting Presidents of the past and present, the FL fruit industry and political landscape (including the trafficking system), and SO much more than I can fit into this caption.I really encourage you to stop what you're doing and listen. This episode and Cali's words will undoubtedly awaken you to things you have not yet heard about, connect dots and connections that will bring 'Aha!' moments, take your breath away and leave you speechless (which you can see happen to me many times during this recording), and inspire you all at once to DO something now that you know what you know.Cali is a truther and her story is important. It would mean the world to us if you could help us get this story out by sharing far and wide, commenting, subscribing, and 'liking' this video. It's time to make survivors the new MSM and look to them as authorities on answering the many questions we have about the world so we can work together to give survivors like Cali the justice they deserve and create a better future for the next generations of children.CONNECT WITH EMMA:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationVENMO: @emmapreneurCASHAPP: $EmmaKatherine1204All links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastSupport the show
