Pasta. Chips. Nuggets. Repeat. If your neurodivergent child lives on a diet of white and yellow foods, you’re not alone. In this episode, Dr Justin Coulson sits down with paediatric dietitian Karina Savage to unpack why fussy eating is so common in autistic and ADHD kids — and what you can actually do to help them expand their diet without battles, bribes or tears. You’ll learn how to lower pressure, build trust around food, and make progress (even if it’s just one new bite at a time). KEY POINTS Start where your child’s at. Understand the sensory, anxiety, or familiarity issues behind food refusal. Safe foods first. Keep trusted foods on the plate, and gently introduce “test foods” nearby (but not touching). No pressure, no panic. Play with food, don’t police it — mealtimes should feel safe, not stressful. Tiny changes matter. Shift from white to wholemeal, add fibre, and celebrate every small win. Watch additives. Processed colours and preservatives can worsen attention and behaviour in neurodivergent kids. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Food play in a non-pressured environment builds familiarity and trust — and that’s how progress happens.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Nourish with Karina — Karina Savage’s website and membership for parentsHappy Families — for more tools to help your family thrive ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS List your child’s “safe foods.” Use this as your base for every meal. Add one “test food” on the side — no pressure to try it. Create calm mealtimes. Avoid forcing or bribing; instead, offer food play and choice. Model variety. Let your child see you enjoying colourful, balanced foods. Aim for progress, not perfection. A little more colour on the plate is a big win. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

AI is transforming how we create content, but there's also a growing problem: AI slop. It's the flood of auto-generated videos, images, and text that takes up space without adding value; and we're seeing it everywhere. So how do you use AI to enhance your work without the noise? Host Matt Pierce introduces TechSmith's HUMAN Framework, a practical approach to keeping the human element at the center of AI-assisted content creation. We hear why your expertise and lived experience gives you access to nuance that AI can't replicate, how authenticity has become currency in content creation, and why treating AI as a thought partner rather than a replacement leads to better outcomes. Matt also shares TechSmith's philosophy on AI integration, including their approach to control and customization in tools like Camtasia AI. While AI is the worst it's ever going to be (meaning it will only get better), the choices we make now about how we use it will determine whether we're creating valuable content or just more noise.

A story about finding opportunity in the moments everyone else ignores.This episode is for founders questioning whether their personal frustration is worth building a business around.Most SaaS companies don't fail because of bad tech. They fail because they solve problems that don't actually hurt.Ken Rapp, CEO of Blustream, took a different path. When his $2,000 guitar cracked, he didn't blame himself—he questioned why no brand had ever taught him prevention. That question led to a 10-year journey building what didn't exist.And this inspired me to invite Ken to my podcast. We explore how solving your own problem first gives you conviction others lack. Ken shares why he spent years on IoT sensors before realizing the real problem was human connection, not data collection. You'll discover why category creation takes a decade—not because building is hard, but because changing behavior is harder.We also zoom in on two of the 10 traits that define remarkable software companies: – Focus on the essence – Aim to be differentKen's story is proof that unmet needs hide in plain sight—we just learn to live with them.Here's one of Ken's quotes that captures his key insight:"Once your customer is at home, that's the moment where they will be most vulnerable, and that curve of emotional connection to you drops. It's almost like the buyer's remorse is setting in. You're all excited to go home with the product, or to open the product, and right there is when you really need to conquer that new product and make it a habit, and really get what you were hoping and dreaming for out of the product. But there's no connection between you and the company."By listening to this episode, you'll learn:Why personal problems make the best businessesWhen to pivot from technology to psychologyWhy categories emerge from nerve strikes, not planningWhat 100 customer interviews actually teach youFor more information about the guest from this week: Guest: Ken Rapp, CEO & Founder of BlustreamWebsite: blustream.io

Investing can feel overwhelming with all the strategies, opinions, and noise out there. That's why in this episode, I break down eight simple, time-tested rules of thumb that will help you cut through the confusion and make smarter decisions with your money. These aren't rigid formulas—they're practical guidelines to keep you on track whether you're just getting started or fine-tuning your portfolio. From understanding how long it takes your money to double, to calculating your “freedom number,” to knowing whether to prioritize retirement or college savings, these rules will help you create clarity and confidence in your financial journey. Episode Timeline & Highlights [0:00] – Introduction [0:54] – Rule #1: The Rule of 72—how long it takes for your money to double [2:00] – Rule #2: Why you'll only need about 70% of your income in retirement [2:46] – Rule #3: How to calculate your “freedom number” with the 4% rule [3:11] – Rule #4: Safe withdrawal rates in retirement (why I lean conservative) [3:52] – Rule #5: Net worth benchmarks by age and income [4:33] – Rule #6: Asset allocation by age—and why risk tolerance matters more [5:52] – Rule #7: Always take the 401(k) match—it's free money [6:32] – Rule #8: Child's education vs. retirement (and why retirement comes first) Key Takeaways Money Compounds Faster Than You Think – Use the Rule of 72 to visualize long-term growth. Retirement Needs Less Than You Earn Now – Strategic withdrawals and fewer expenses change the math. Put Yourself First – You can borrow for college, but you can't borrow for retirement. Quotables “You can get scholarships for school—but you can't get scholarships for retirement.” “Aim to have your investments double every ten years at a bare minimum.” “Please don't listen to anyone who says you can pull 12% from your portfolio. That's a disaster waiting to happen.” Links & Resources Learn more about BudgetDog Academy: https://budgetdog.com My book, The Roadmap to Financial Freedom: https://budgetdog.com/book Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/budgetdog If this episode helped simplify investing for you, share it with a friend who needs these rules of thumb.

In this episode Nick talks to David Keene MBEDavid Keene MBE, Founder & CEO of Aurrigo, is a leading figure in the automotive and autonomous vehicle industries. With nearly four decades of experience, David has been recognised as a driving force in the development of autonomous and electric vehicles, earning an MBE in June 2025 for his pioneering work to decarbonise airports through innovations such as the Auto-DollyTug, now in use at airports worldwide. A board member of the UK Automotive Council, Visiting Professor at Coventry University, and Fellow of the Institute of Engineering and Technology, David shares insights from his journey as an entrepreneur, innovator, and mentor nurturing the next generation of talent.Nick and David discuss how Aurrigo is partnering with major airlines, airports, and ground handlers—including Heathrow, Schiphol, Changi, and Swissport—to deploy autonomous technology that reduces emissions and addresses post-COVID staffing shortages by automating repetitive, low-value tasks. David highlights why airports are the ideal proving ground for autonomy—operating at low speeds, under strict regulations, and within confined domains—and explains how AI supports vision systems while safety-critical driving remains rules-based.The conversation also explores digital twins, airport electrification, and the next wave of autonomous applications, from cargo and baggage handling to security patrols, catering vehicles, and even remote-controlled passenger stairs. Offering insights into global scaling, competition with legacy ground support manufacturers, and the balance between innovation and safety, this discussion reveals how autonomous technology is reshaping airside operations and redefining the future of aviation logistics.David's Book choices where:The Warren Buffett Way  by Robert G.

Over the past few years, I've heard several people suggest that "blogging is dead." However, one of my favorite coaching clients earns her primary income from her blog and also hosts retreats and an annual conference for an entire community of food bloggers who earn an income from their blogging efforts. So I invited my client, Megan Porta, and asked her the question, "Can you still make money blogging in 2025?" Short answer: Yes. It's doable. It looks different than it did a decade ago. It requires real passion, patience, and a focus on what serves readers right now. Below are thorough show notes to meet you exactly where you are. If you want to start or revive a blog as a real income stream, these notes double as a step-by-step primer. What This Episode Covers Why blogging still pays when you pair patience with passion Megan has seen brand-new bloggers “crushing it.” The difference now is you cannot fake it. Your readers and Google both know when you do. Authenticity wins. The fastest realistic path to first income Join a quality ad network once your traffic qualifies. We name the two big players and their current thresholds. We also discuss why Google SEO and Pinterest are still the two traffic pillars that move the needle. Niching way down to win Broad “everything” blogs struggle today. Specific sub-niches serve specific people and get rewarded. Think “vegan cakes” instead of “vegan.” The love for your topic has to show up in every post. The collaboration playbook for early momentum Smart email list swaps. Contributing value inside the right Facebook groups without spamming. How one helpful post can put a niche creator “on the map” in months. Income beyond ads Digital products. Memberships. Sponsorships. How to think about affiliate income post-HCU and what still works if you are selective. Platform and tech choices that save you pain Why WordPress.org with solid hosting is still the move. Why a VPS and proactive security matter. Real-world cautionary tales about updates, backups, and malware. Key Takeaways and Insights 1) Yes, you can still get paid to blog. The bar is higher. If you bring patience and genuine expertise, you can absolutely build an income today. People starting in the last year or two are succeeding. The difference is the landscape. Authenticity and user value must drive your strategy. 2) Niche inside the niche Winning examples are laser-specific. Pick a tight segment of a larger category, then become unmistakably helpful to that reader. This is how you break through and build trust. 3) Traffic plan: SEO and Pinterest first To qualify for premium ad networks, prioritize traffic that comes from search and Pinterest. Current thresholds discussed in the episode: Mediavine at roughly 50,000 sessions per month and Raptive at roughly 100,000 pageviews per month. Build to those numbers, then let ad RPMs start compounding. 4) Collaboration without spam Use email list collaborations. Show up consistently inside large, topic-relevant Facebook groups. Earn trust by answering questions with real substance. This moves traffic quickly when your niche is dialed in. 5) Create on-topic, helpful content Google's Helpful Content updates pushed bloggers to stay tightly aligned with user intent. Keep posts on point for your niche. Tangential personal stories and off-topic content dilute perceived expertise and can hurt discoverability. 6) Monetization mix that works in 2025 Display Ads once you hit network thresholds. This becomes semi-passive as your library grows. Digital Products as quick wins: ebooks, guides, weekly prep plans. These are simple to produce and match your audience's immediate needs. Memberships if your audience is invested. Price points in food niches commonly range from about 5 to 20 dollars per month, often for ad-free experiences or exclusive content. Tech options include WordPress setups and hosted communities such as Circle, Skool, Slack, Discord, Mighty Networks, and niche tools like Member Kitchens. Sponsorships when you can articulate your audience's value. Niche reach can beat raw follower counts if you understand a sponsor's acquisition economics and lifetime value. Affiliate Income is trickier after recent updates. It can still work at higher commissions or with premium offers. Treat it as a supplemental play, not your core plan. 7) Stack the tech in your favor Choose WordPress.org for full control, proven SEO flexibility, and extensibility. Invest in good hosting. A VPS with strong uptime guarantees is worth it. Expect to pay roughly 89 to 150 dollars per month for reliability that protects your revenue. Treat security and backups as non-negotiables. Plugins and themes require regular updates. Malware exploits often come from simple neglect. Have a pro who can restore fast. This avoids losing days or weeks or years of content. Practical Playbook Phase 1. Choose a narrow niche and validate demand List ten posts your ideal reader would save today. Ensure all are tightly aligned with one outcome your niche cares about. Keep stories and extras on-topic so Google sees topical authority. Phase 2. Protect the asset Run WordPress.org on a reliable VPS and keep everything updated. Assign backups and security to a pro so you do not risk outages or data loss. Phase 3. Build a traffic engine Publish high-quality posts that answer exact questions your audience asks. Optimize for search and create Pinterest assets for each post. Aim for Mediavine or Raptive thresholds to unlock ad revenue. Phase 4. Accelerate through collaboration Join large, relevant Facebook groups. Contribute substantial answers that stand on their own. Start tasteful email list collaborations for quick, qualified traffic. Phase 5. Layer monetization Add an easy digital product that solves a specific use case. Test a simple membership once engagement is strong. Pitch sponsors when you can quantify your audience's fit and value.

Awakened in a Dark World — Making the Most of These Days “If you've ever said, I wish things were different, this message is for you.” From Ephesians 5:11–17, we hear a clear call to stop wishing for another moment and start shining in this one. We're reminded that believers are Christ's ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20), set here on purpose, to live and declare that Jesus is Lord—not by capitulating to culture, but by exposing darkness with the light of Christ.Scripture Focus: Ephesians 5:11–17; 2 Corinthians 5:20; Galatians 2:20; Romans 8:28; Matthew 5:14–16; Hebrews 12:1Six Ways to Make the Most of These Days:Refuse to waste time wishing. Nostalgia doesn't change the world—obedience does.Resolve to take no part in darkness (Eph. 5:11). Hold a firm, Christ-first allegiance.Radiate the contrast. Let the life and light of Jesus shine through you.Remember God redeems even darkness. What's exposed by light can become light—this is gospel transformation.Awaken, O sleeper (Eph. 5:14). Engage your moment with clarity, courage, and hope.Aim to please the Lord above all (Eph. 5:10,17). When that's your compass, decisions become clear.This sermon invites us to trade cultural commentary for biblical conviction, to live Galatians 2:20 lives—crucified with Christ, walking by faith, shining brightly in a world chasing shadows. Jesus has already won the victory; now let's walk as His ambassadors, redeeming the time.

Daily weight swings (water, salt, cycle phase, hard workouts, sleep) can hide real progress. Instead of chasing perfection, I show you how to win with 80% consistency and a simple Progress Dashboard that tracks what actually moves the needle: weekly weight averages, waist measurements, strength performance, steps, protein, sleep, and more.You'll learn:How to read weekly trends vs. single weigh-ins (and when not to weigh)The 80% rule: realistic habits that beat all-or-nothing plansWhat to include in your Progress Dashboard (leading + outcome metrics)A 7-point audit to troubleshoot slow progress (intake drift, protein gaps, NEAT, sleep, alcohol, cycle timing)Sustainable fat-loss pace: ~0.25–0.5% bodyweight/weekAction step: Pick one habit to hit at 80% this week (protein at breakfast, 8k steps, or 7 hours of sleep), track your weekly weight average + waist, and DM me your scorecard on Instagram so we can celebrate the win.Copy/Paste for IG/Show Notes: Weekly Progress ScorecardPick your 8 lead habits.

In this episode of Building Better Developers, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit their popular discussion “Your Developer Journey – How to Leave a Lasting Legacy.” They use AI-generated prompts only as conversation starters, then share their own insights on what a developer legacy truly means today. You'll hear practical advice on writing code that stands the test of time, sharing work through open source, and creating a collaborative culture that thrives long after you've moved on. Whether you're a junior engineer mapping your career path or a seasoned architect shaping teams, this conversation offers a roadmap for making your impact felt—and remembered. Why a Developer Legacy Matters A developer legacy is more than old code—it's the enduring value your work provides. Rob and Michael show how your professional footprint can guide teams long after you've left a project or company. Pro Tip: Adoption is the real metric of legacy. Aim for solutions people use every day. From Quick Fixes to Timeless Impact Move from “just closing tickets” to designing systems that stand the test of time. Readable, maintainable code with clear names and documentation. Robust testing so future developers can extend features confidently. Stable interfaces that prevent painful rewrites. Key Takeaway: Clean, tested code is the cornerstone of a lasting developer legacy. Open Source: A Fast Track to Developer Legacy Michael highlights how open source accelerates your developer legacy: Publish a reusable tool or library. Provide a five-minute “Getting Started” guide. Welcome contributions and feedback to refine your craft. Reminder: A well-documented repository is a résumé that never sleeps. Culture Outlives Code Rob emphasizes mentorship and collaborative culture as essential to any developer legacy: Mentor teammates to spread good practices. Host “mini hackathons” or team debugging sessions. Reward shared learning over individual heroics. Insight: Culture is the invisible code base that scales excellence. Milestones on the Legacy Path Every career has pivotal steps where legacy thinking grows: From first pull requests to defining team standards. From individual contributor to automation architect. From private successes to public tools and templates. Challenge: Ship one reusable script or CI template this week and invite team feedback—your first step toward a visible developer legacy. AI as a Legacy Multiplier AI can accelerate your developer legacy when treated as a partner: Draft tests or refactor with AI assistance. Summarize modules for quick onboarding docs. Share successful prompts as a team “AI playbook.” Final Takeaway A developer legacy is deliberate: thoughtful code, shared knowledge, and a culture of mentorship. Start today—document, mentor, and publish—and your impact will outlive any single job.

Key Takeaways: Understanding the complexities of drawdown strategies is essential for early retirement planning. Fear surrounding retirement taxes can often be mitigated through knowledge and strategic planning. Most retirees benefit from significant tax reductions due to lower effective tax rates during retirement.

Welcome to the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this episode, Dr. Sarah Smith sits down with Dr. Marcia Kashani, a nurse and experienced healthcare improvement advisor, to explore practical strategies for making your clinical day more efficient, effective, and—most importantly—sustainable. Drawing on years of experience facilitating primary care transformation and team-based initiatives, Dr. Kashani shares stories of real-world success: from leveraging the strengths of every team member, to optimizing clinic workflows, and even reimagining how tasks get delegated to maximize value for both clinicians and patients. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by a never-ending list of tasks, long wait times for appointments, or the challenge of figuring out what you can hand off—and to whom—this is an episode you won't want to miss. Dr. Smith and Dr. Kashani offer actionable insights into improving access, reducing unnecessary physician workload, and embracing change as a path to better care and a better work-life balance. Whether you're part of a large clinic or running a small practice, you'll find inspiration and hope for positive change right here. Tune in and take one step closer to reclaiming time for your patients—and yourself! Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Empower Your Team: Distinguish between physician, nurse, and administrative tasks. When tasks are thoughtfully delegated—like patient screening calls or form-filling—clinicians can reclaim time for patient care and improve office efficiency. Reduce Unnecessary Visits: Examine return visit rates and consider whether clinical follow-ups always require physician attention. Thoughtful use of nurses, pharmacists, and even patients' support networks can safely reduce visit volumes and waiting times. Leverage Process Improvement: Document and map out workflows to highlight inefficiencies, duplications, and points of delay (like EMR optimization or referral processing). Even simple changes—like consistently titling scanned documents—deliver significant time savings for clinicians. Meet Dr. Marcia Kashani: Marcia has over 40 years of front-line nursing and progressive leadership experience in primary care, community care and acute care. Notable accomplishments include involvement in the business planning and governance of multiple Primary Care Networks in the Edmonton Zone. In 2005 her focus turned to Quality Improvement and System Redesign where she became the first non-physician AIM faculty, participating in several AIM collaboratives. She completed the Improvement Advisor Program through the Institute of Healthcare Improvement and continued as a facilitator for the program. Most recently, Marcia has been a project manager with the Edmonton Zone Primary Care Networks team and North Zone Primary Care Business Unit, including work with Transitions of Care, Specialty Access and Referral teams, and assisting Practice Facilitators with improvement initiatives.

How can a game transform life-or-death conversations in healthcare settings? A conversation with Criswell Lappin In this compelling episode, design thinker Criswell Lappin reveals how play and games can break down barriers in healthcare, particularly for underserved communities. With over 20 years of experience spanning from Apple to healthcare innovation, Lappin demonstrates that the mechanics of play aren't just for children—they're powerful tools for building trust and sparking meaningful conversations. The St. Joseph's Health Project Lappin's most impactful work involved addressing a critical healthcare challenge in Paterson, New Jersey. Pregnant women weren't asking clinical questions during appointments, creating gaps in care. Through research, his team discovered that women felt more comfortable when they found shared experiences with their healthcare providers. The solution? A simple "Would You Rather?" card game that pairs clinical topics, encouraging both patients and nurses to share stories and find common ground. One powerful example: a 19-year-old patient with a history of sexual abuse initially refused a pelvic exam. After playing the game and bonding over pasta sauce preferences, she opened up and began asking about delivery options she hadn't known existed. The Philosophy Behind Play Lappin's approach stems from two core influences: his childhood collecting baseball cards (visual appeal backed by data) and growing up with a disabled younger brother (fostering empathy and caregiving instincts). He believes play gives people permission to approach problems differently by lowering stakes and reducing formality. Key Design Principles Lappin shared four essential pieces of advice he gives to students, teams, and his own children: Plan on multiple futures - especially in business contexts Focus on what you can control - worrying about uncontrollable variables leads nowhere Aim for 1% better - small weekly improvements compound into transformation Prioritize who you work with over what you do - relationships lead to interesting work Looking Forward The St. Joseph's project, now called "Prefieris" (Spanish for "Would You Rather"), continues to expand as the hospital collects data on its impact. Lappin emphasizes the importance of having internal champions like nurse Stephanie Matthews, noting that such allies are critical for moving innovative projects forward in traditional institutions. This episode illuminates how thoughtful design thinking, combined with the universal language of play, can create profound human connections that ultimately save lives and improve healthcare outcomes for vulnerable communities.

Today we're diving into the ways our own trauma can shape how we show up as parents, and how we can begin to break those inherited cycles with Dr. Robyn Koslowitz, a clinical child psychologist, trauma treatment expert, and author of Post-Traumatic Parenting: Break the Cycle, Become the Parent You Always Wanted to Be. In our conversation, Robyn shares insights from her book, including the concept of “secret ACEs,” the “trauma app” that can override our instincts, and the different subtypes of post-traumatic parenting. We also talk about how to recognize our triggers, the importance of self-care, and the role of the inner child in this work. Robyn's approach blends research, clinical wisdom, and lived experience, and she offers practical hacks for navigating the challenges of parenting when trauma is part of our story. About Dr. Robyn Koslowitz Dr. Robyn Koslowitz is a clinical child psychologist, trauma treatment expert, and author of Post-Traumatic Parenting: Break the Cycle, Become the Parent You Always Wanted to Be. As the founder of the Post-Traumatic Parenting model, Dr. Koslowitz helps parents break free from inherited patterns and become the parents their children—and their inner child—need. Her core message is simple yet profound: Your inner child can't raise a child, but raising your real-world child can heal your inner child. Dr. Koslowitz combines research-backed tools, clinical insights, and lived experience to help parents transform trauma into growth. As she says, Adulting is hard. Adulting is especially hard if you never childed.And parenting? That's adulting on steroids. Her “trauma app” metaphor has reached thousands, empowering parents to recognize and rewrite the patterns that no longer serve them—or their children.   Things you'll learn from this episode How trauma can shape parenting by acting as a mirror, map, and motivator for healing Why hidden or “secret” ACEs accumulate and impact the way parents show up with their children How children often reveal a parent's triggers, creating opportunities for growth and repair Why post-traumatic parenting can manifest in patterns like paralysis, perfectionism, or disengagement How healing begins with befriending our instincts and using the AIM method of acceptance, integration, and meaning-making Why self-care and play are essential tools for connection, regulation, and attunement in parenting Resources mentioned Dr. Robyn Koslowitz's website Post-Traumatic Parenting: Break the Cycle, Become the Parent You Always Wanted to Be by Dr. Robyn Koslowitz Post-Traumatic Parenting Podcast Dr. Robyn Koslowitz on Instagram Dr. Robyn Koslowitz on LinkedIn Dr. Robyn Koslowitz on Threads Dr. Robyn Koslowitz's YouTube channel Erik Erikson Georgie Wisen-Vincent on Unlocking Our Kids' Emotional Balance and Resilience with The Way of Play (Tilt Parenting podcast) The Way of Play: Using Little Moments of Big Connection to Raise Kind and Confident Kids by Tina Payne Bryson and Georgie Wisen-Vincent Learn more about your ad choices.

Shawn Weber Today's FRESH NEW PODCAST: Dave Wager talks with sixth-grade math teacher and former youth pastor Shawn Weber about schooling, home life, and a child's heart. Using Proverbs 22:6 as the anchor, they dig into respect in the classroom, impulsivity driven by screens, and how parents can model leadership at home. Shawn explains why he serves in public schools, how Christian teachers quietly witness by the way they live, and how students can respectfully ask faith-forward questions. Dave urges parents to pray for teachers, speak with grace, and partner with the school instead of swiping people the way we swipe apps. Practical helps fill the hour. Ask better questions after school, not “What did you do?” but “Show me what you're working on.” Let kids teach you what they learned, set short, consistent homework routines, and use bedtime review to lock in memory. Keep AI in its place. Learning is the struggle that forms character, not outsourcing the answer. Aim for feedback, not judgment, when you look at grades. Above all, remember the path is about loving God, walking with Him, and helping your child grow in wisdom as you walk it together.

Mastering energy management is one of the cornerstones of becoming a safe and confident pilot. In this episode of Behind the Prop, Bobby Doss and Wally Mulhearn unpack the topic in detail, showing how altitude, airspeed, and power all work together as “energy assets” that must be carefully managed throughout every phase of flight—especially on approach and landing.Drawing from countless check rides, Wally describes how many applicants fall into the trap of treating every descent as a power-off glide, when in reality, a controlled descent with power and speed can be safer and more effective. Bobby shares his own learning curve, including stories of fast landings and bounced touchdowns, underscoring why setting up a stabilized approach is non-negotiable. Together, they walk through rules of thumb for descent planning, techniques for recognizing if you're high or low on base, and how instrument training can help sharpen a pilot's “sight picture” of a standard glide path.Listeners will hear practical guidance on the classic “pitch for airspeed, power for altitude” debate, and how those principles apply differently in cruise versus the landing phase. The duo also highlight the dangers of over-correction and porpoising, explaining why patience and small, measured inputs make all the difference. Wally's mantra—“eyes moving fast, hands moving slow”—is a powerful takeaway for anyone working toward smoother, more confident landings.The episode wraps with recommended resources like the Airplane Flying Handbook, FAA Risk Management Handbook, and the AIM, plus encouragement to practice energy management on challenging days with an instructor. Whether you're a new student preparing for a checkride or an experienced pilot refining your technique, this discussion offers the tools to better understand and master the flow of energy in your aircraft.

High-achieving and still 30% happy at work? In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, career coach and therapist Rachel Spekman unpacks why smart professionals stay in roles they secretly hate—status, salary, identity—and how to exit without chaos. We cover permission to want more, navigating identity shifts, handling judgment, and practical, income-safe pivots (including fractional work). Direct, actionable, SEO-friendly guidance for YouTube/Facebook/Instagram/LinkedIn audiences who want purpose, alignment, and sustainable earnings—without burning their careers to the ground. Guest: Rachel Spekman. About the guest   Rachel Spekman is a career coach and licensed therapist specializing in identity transformations and vocational alignment. After 15 years in brand marketing, 10 years with startups, and 5 years as a therapist, she helps professionals move from soul-sucking roles into work that matches values, strengths, and desired income. Key takeaways Start with permission: ask, “Am I allowed to want something different?” Then imagine alternatives before acting. Define “achievement” for yourself—not for LinkedIn, bosses, or family. Success must map to your values. Expect value shifts: life events (loss, mental health, family) change what “fits.” A once-great job can become misaligned. Measure reality: honestly rate your work happiness out of 100. If you're at ~30%, plan a directional change. Aim for 80% satisfaction by moving 1–2% at a time; small, consistent improvements compound. Choose your problems: invest your “three Ts” (time, talent, treasure) where you want to solve challenges. Identity work matters: manage the ego when titles change; treat everyone with integrity—today's intern can be tomorrow's boss. Build safe bridges: don't jump without a plan. Most realignments take 6–12 months with clear milestones. Consider fractional work: package your expertise for multiple clients to increase autonomy and earnings. Realignment isn't always promotion; a “lateral” or even “demotion” can be a values-aligned win.

Episode focus: What GLP‑1 actually is (your body already makes it), when/where it's released, why food noise exists, and practical ways to nudge the same mechanisms without a prescription. Listen for: simple definitions, meal/lifestyle plays that boost satiety signals, and a week‑by‑week experiment plan. Quick Summary GLP‑1 (glucagon‑like peptide‑1) is a peptide hormone your gut releases after you eat. It helps meals feel calmer by slowing stomach emptying, supporting insulin only when glucose is high, and signaling the brain to turn down cravings. Release is biphasic (two waves): a quick early wave soon after food hits the upper small intestine, and a later, longer satiety wave 30–120+ minutes after—especially when meals include protein, some fat, and fermentable/viscous fiber. Food noise is multi‑factor: hyperpalatable foods, fast eating/liquid calories, sleep debt and stress, microbiome shifts, and environment/cues. Meds mute it fast; habits keep it quiet. What it is: a gut‑made peptide hormone that coordinates the after‑meal response. Where it's made: special gut cells called L‑cells (mostly in the ileum and colon). When it's released: Early wave: minutes after you start eating. Late wave: 30–120+ minutes later as nutrients and fiber fermentation products reach the lower gut. What it does: Slows the stomach so fuel trickles in (you feel fuller, longer). Supports insulin only when glucose is high (smaller spikes, gentler landings). Signals the brain via the vagus nerve to turn down “keep eating” urges. Why meds feel stronger: prescription GLP‑1s are engineered to last much longer than your natural hormone. Food/lifestyle can raise your own signals but won't extend them like a drug. Why Food Noise Gets Loud (and Stays Loud) Hyperpalatable foods (sweet+fat+salt+crunch) keep reward circuits fired up. Removing them for 7–14 days usually turns the volume down. Sleep debt & stress: more ghrelin (hunger), less leptin (satiety), and higher reactivity to cues. Meal speed & form: soft/ultra‑processed textures and liquid calories outrun gut signals. Microbiome: low‑fiber patterns → fewer short‑chain fatty acids → weaker late satiety wave. Environment: visual cues, routines, social context, alcohol, and easy access keep the cycle going. Food Levers (Evidence‑Aligned, Practical) 1) Protein‑forward meals (especially breakfast) Aim ≥30 g protein. Whey (if tolerated) is a strong pre‑meal option: 20–30 g, 15–30 min before a carb‑heavy meal. Why it works: raises satiety hormones (including GLP‑1 and PYY) and lowers “hunt for more” at the next meal. 2) Viscous & fermentable fibers Viscous (slows the meal): oats/barley (beta‑glucan), legumes, chia/flax, okra, eggplant. Fermentable (late‑wave satiety): beans/lentils; cooked‑then‑cooled potatoes/rice (resistant starch); green bananas/plantains; Jerusalem artichokes/asparagus (inulin). Supplements (optional, measured): Psyllium 5–10 g in 12–16 oz water 10–15 min pre‑meal (start with 2–3 g). PHGG (partially hydrolyzed guar gum) 5–10 g/day (gentle fermentable fiber). Glucomannan or inulin/FOS (build slowly; watch GI tolerance). 3) Some fat with meals Sources: eggs, salmon, olive oil, avocado, nuts/seeds. Why it works: helps release bile and triggers fullness signals; supports slower stomach emptying when paired with protein and fiber. 4) Bitter & spicy nudges (optional) Bitter greens (arugula, radicchio), citrus pith, dark cocoa. Capsaicin (chili peppers) or capsinoids (non‑pungent pepper extracts). Start small to check tolerance. 5) Meal order & pace Water/salad/broth first, then protein + veg, then starch. Minimum 15–20 minutes per meal; chew well. Optional: 1–2 tsp vinegar in plenty of water before higher‑starch meals (skip if reflux or enamel sensitivity). Lifestyle Levers (That Amplify Satiety Signals) Vigorous exercise windows: hard sessions can suppress appetite acutely for 1–3 hours; follow with protein + viscous fiber to extend satiety. Sleep 7–9 hours: normalizes hunger/satiety hormones and reduces cue‑reactivity. Early time‑restricted eating: a daytime 8–10 hour window often eases appetite even at similar calories. Environment design: strip hyperpalatables, reduce visible cues, pre‑portion foods, limit variety within a meal.
