Focusing on numbers above guest experience may actually prevent you from achieving the numbers you need to sustain your business long term. Yet still people insist on creating environments in the shop that turn customers into marks to be worked for the sake to extracting as much out of them each interaction as possible so we can see average tickets rise and celebrate record days. In this case, the means to the end truly matters.  On today's episode we will be talking about how to recognize this almost reflexive and default setting cafes fall into, how to foster true service and hospitality, and why we need to focus more on the guest experience with genuine care.    KEY HOLDER COACHING GROUPS 2026!

In this episode of The Untethered Podcast, Hallie Bulkin tackles a question many feeding specialists quietly wrestle with:Why can two therapists treat the same child — and achieve completely different outcomes?The answer isn't more techniques. It's clinical reasoning.Hallie dives into the complexity of pediatric feeding therapy, unpacking why progress often stalls when clinicians focus on surface-level feeding skills instead of identifying the primary systems driving a child's feeding patterns. She challenges therapists to move beyond siloed thinking and into an integrated, systems-based approach that transforms therapy outcomes.This conversation marks a powerful shift — from simply treating feeding challenges to stepping into clinical leadership.If you've ever wondered why some cases feel stuck… or why therapy timelines stretch longer than expected… this episode will sharpen your lens and elevate your practice. WHAT YOU'LL UNCOVER

When you build a trust through serving people with sincerity and passion, those same people support and uplift you. In the business of the coffee shop, those kinds of relationships are the life giving force that carries owners through the ups and downs of ownership. Today we get to talk to two of our industry's sweetest people whose cafe is built on this very thing.  I am so happy to welcome to the show, Patti and Jesse Ventura of Lontra Coffee! Patti and Jesse Ventura are a husband and wife team and the founders of Lontra Coffee. What began as a shared passion for specialty coffee turned into a journey of building their own company. They have dedicated themselves to creating intentional experiences and spaces that are rooted in quality and hospitality.  After opening their first location in Downtown Los Angeles, they are now expanding and continuing to learn and grow as owners and operators. Their mission is connecting through coffee and allowing Lontra to be a space that feels like home to everyone.      KEY HOLDER COACHING GROUPS!

In this inaugural episode of Season 10, Amy Wheeler introduces the guiding framework for the year ahead: exploring the Eight Limbs of Yoga as a practical, integrated regulatory framework for the autonomic nervous system. Rather than offering “tools and tricks” for stress, this season centers a wider view—how yoga shapes the conditions for safety, stability, adaptability, and coherence across daily life. Amy explains why nervous system regulation matters across integrative health contexts. When we support autonomic balance, we support the whole person—how we sleep, digest, think, relate, decide, and recover from chronic stress and burnout. This season also bridges personal practice and professional application, supporting listeners who want yoga to be a private anchor, and those discerning how yoga therapy can responsibly integrate into healthcare, education, and community settings. A key reframe anchors the episode: the Eight Limbs are not a ladder to climb, but a circle with eight doors. Each limb is an entry point, and once you enter, every practice influences the whole system—physiology, perception, behavior, relationships, and purpose. Season 10 also aligns with Amy's forthcoming book (with Marlisa Sullivan), Applications of Therapeutic Yoga in Integrative Health(anticipated late spring/early summer 2026), designed as a companion guide to help practitioners translate yogic principles into accessible language for real-world settings. In This Episode, Amy ExploresWhy the autonomic nervous system is a shared meeting point between yoga and integrative healthcareThe Eight Limbs as a regulatory framework, not simply a set of techniquesHow regulation affects perception (viveka), behavior, communication, and ethical decision-makingWhy “coherence” matters: aligning life demands with inner and outer resourcesThe Eight Limbs as a circle with eight doors—interrelated, non-hierarchical entry pointsThe yamas and niyamas as the ethics of regulation, not moral perfectionHow yoga therapy differs from fitness-based yoga: assessment, client-centered care, scope, and responsibilityWhy this season includes more solo teaching episodes, with select guests across disciplinesHow listeners can develop simple language and metaphors (like the stoplight model) to explain regulation Invitation for the SeasonAs you listen this year, consider tracking phrases, metaphors, and explanations that help make complex ideas accessible. This season is designed as a shared learning laboratory—supporting personal regulation, while also strengthening the collective capacity to communicate clearly about yoga therapy in integrative health spaces. Host: Amy Wheeler at www.TheOptimalState.comAbout: Chair, Yoga Therapy & Ayurveda Department, Notre Dame of Maryland UniversityAlso Featured: insights informed by Amy's work with the Polyvagal Institute Subscribe, Share, and Stay ConnectedIf this season supports your personal practice or your professional path, consider subscribing, sharing an episode with a colleague, and following along as the series unfolds across 2026. School of Integrative Health at NDMU: https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-healthMaster of Science in Yoga Therapy at NDMU https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy Explore NDMU's Post-Master's Certificate in Therapeutic Yoga Practices  https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy/post-masters-certificate-in-therapeutic-yoga-practices Try our Post-Bac Ayurveda Certification Program at NDMU: https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/ayurveda/post-baccalaureate-ayurveda-certification#IntegrativeHealth #HealthcareEducation #InterprofessionalEducation #GraduateSchool #NDMUproud #SOIHproud #SOIHYoga #SOIHAyurveda #NDMUYoga #NDMUAyurveda #SOIHGraduateSchool  Yoga Therapy Hour Podcasthttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yoga-therapy-hour-with-amy-wheeler/id1564687158 The Optimal State Mobile Apphttps://optimalstateapp.com

Feedback is all around us. From the customers, staff, and the business itself, we can only make great decisions for the coffee shop when we practice listening to understand. Trouble is we often avoid listening for fear of what we will hear, or because we falsely think we know what someone thinks or that their opinion cannot be helpful due to who they are or what position they hold.

After 12 years, 2 podcasts and 711 total episodes, I took my longest break from podcasting. It was not planned. It was not strategic. And it taught me something important about leadership, margin, and what consistency is really for.

PorterShed has launched 'Get PSSF Ready with PorterShed x Bertie', a new virtual accelerator designed to help tech founders prepare strong, competitive applications for the Enterprise Ireland Pre-Seed Start Fund. The programme is being piloted in partnership with MyBertie.ai, an Irish AI-powered Venture Builder platform, and is supported by the Western Development Commission. Applications open today for companies located across the West, from Malin Head to Mizen Head and everyone in between. Eligibility criteria can be found on the PorterShed website. The six-week programme kicks off on the 23rd of March and combines PorterShed's trusted startup launch track, mentorship, peer learning and founder interviews with Bertie's AI-powered copilot to guide companies toward PSSF readiness. During the pilot phase, participating founders will receive a dedicated mentor, full free access to the Bertie AI platform, and a clear sprint framework focused on sharpening commercial strategy, validating market opportunity and strengthening investment cases. The programme is aimed at tech founders with digital innovation at their core, who have carried out primary customer discovery research and have signs of early traction. As part of the pilot phase, each company commits to submitting a PSSF application within two weeks of completing their sprint. Rosemary Gallagher, Programmes Lead at PorterShed, said: "At PorterShed, our focus has always been to support the creation and scale of globally focused innovation-driven enterprises. Working with MyBertie's AI-powered venture building platform provides a timely opportunity to get Irish tech founders PSSF-ready in a self-paced, structured hybrid environment, which will translate early traction into a compelling PSSF application. The partnership between MyBertie and PorterShed is a natural fit; we are both focused on helping founders better articulate and accelerate the thing they know best – their business." Philip Reynolds, CEO of Bertie AI, said: "At myBertie.ai, our job is to help founders. Combining our own life experiences with our powerful AI Co-Pilot platform Bertie, designed specifically for start-ups, we aim to expedite the journey, accelerating the venture in a more efficient and cost-effective way. We are delighted to partner with Portershed in what will be the first virtual pilot of its type in Ireland. I congratulate them on their vision and determination in providing the best support for new businesses in the West of Ireland. Delivering results is what's important to us. Working with the team at PorterShed, we believe we can help create the next generation of global tech businesses in the West." The initiative reflects PorterShed's continued focus on strengthening the early-stage pipeline and supporting companies to scale from the West of Ireland. By piloting the Bertie AI platform regionally, the programme also creates an opportunity to test new digital venture-building infrastructure in a real-world context. Allan Mullroney, CEO of Western Development Commission, who is backing the pilot programme, said: "One of the consistent challenges we see across the region, particularly outside Galway, is not a lack of ambition or ideas, but a lack of companies that are fully investment-ready at the point capital becomes available. If we want to see more indigenous tech companies scale from places like Donegal, Leitrim, Mayo, Sligo and Clare, we have to strengthen the pipeline much earlier. This programme is important because it focuses on the long-term view. It helps founders translate early traction into strong, credible funding applications, and that ultimately builds a deeper bench of investable companies across the West. For the Western Development Commission, backing initiatives like this is about ensuring that five and ten years from now, we have a broader, more geographically balanced cohort of high-potential businesses ready to grow and create jobs in their own communities."

Coffee is a connector. I think we all have seen this in our personal lives, our social lives, and in the community we help facilitate through our shops. In the fast paced often stessful world of cafes and the vocation of coffee, we need to take some time, and leave some room for appreciating the real impact a simple cup can have on people.  On today's episode we will be talking all about the ways coffee does this and how we can use coffee to advance understanding, exploration, and connection with the Director of Room for Cream, Grant Garry! Grant Garry is an award winning filmmaker, actor, singer, and Certified Grief Educator. He is the director of the documentary Meet Me Where I Am -  Grant has played The Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz at Opera San Luis Obispo as Disney's Beauty and the Beast, NCIS: Los Angeles, Legally Blonde: The Musical, Black Cat, Night of the Living Deb, Sweeney Todd, and Cinderella.   He hosts the podcast Where I Am on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Amazon Music. A long-form discussion based show about love, loss, and finding meaning as we move forward.     His recent release and project is called "Room for Cream", a series dedicated to the exploration of coffee, coffee culture, and the ways coffee facilitates connection.

What to listen for:In the second half of the conversation with Dr. Jennifer Essler, our hosts, Robin Greubel and Stacy Barnett, discuss her current research and future goals bridging academic science with real-world handler expertise!At SUNY Cobleskill, Dr. Essler's conservation work demonstrates how detection dogs fill practical niches. Her Round Goby project (tracking invasive fish from the Black and Caspian Seas) uses dogs for water sampling rather than locating individual fish.This mirrors eDNA methodology but delivers immediate field results instead of days of laboratory processing. Dogs trade some sensitivity for real-time assessment, making them viable alternatives when speed matters. The project's success has attracted government conservation agencies interested in applying dogs to other invasive species like hydrilla plants and certain crawfish.Her Penn Vet ovarian cancer research revealed the limitations of lab-based detection. While dogs successfully identified cancer in blood plasma, clinical deployment was never the goal. Instead, the objective was helping develop electronic detection systems.The fundamental problem is that even superstar dogs have off days without visible behavioral indicators explaining poor performance. Unlike field work, where handlers notice changes, lab settings offer no safety net for medical diagnosis. Repetitive scent wheel searches also eventually bored excellent performers into retirement.That shows all the difference between detection work and examination work.Dr. Essler's future priorities center on quantifying practitioner expertise. That's documenting how experienced trainers accurately assess young dogs through seemingly instinctive judgments. Key Topics:Conservation Detection Research Projects (01:11)Round Goby Invasive Species Work (02:20)eDNA vs. Dogs: Trade-offs and Applications (11:32)Ovarian Cancer Detection Research Insights (20:51)Why Dogs Can't Replace Medical Testing (24:02)Future Research on Quantifying Handler Expertise (29:15)Puppy Selection Science and Practitioner Knowledge (35:07)Quarterly Research Review Plans (42:44)Understanding Research Sample Size Constraints (44:04) Resources:Dr. Essler's WebsiteSUNY Cobleskill Canine Science Program We want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Detection Dog Trainer AcademyK9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

Tell us what you think of the show! With global energy demand at an all-time high, battery storage is evolving from a flexible filler into a critical grid resource. Success in this new era depends less on the hardware itself and more on the digital intelligence used to run it. By leveraging a digital layer to optimize the economics of battery assets, utilities are now rethinking BESS as a high-value, GW-scale engine for reliability and market participation.To understand what this means on a practical level, we sat down with Brian Fellon, the Senior Vice President of Power Solutions at Xpansiv. He explains why battery energy storage systems are no longer an optional add-on but a critical backbone for grid operators. We also explore how utilities are moving from small-scale pilots to gigawatt-scale operations, the role of batteries in managing volatile demand from data centers, how real-time market participation demonstrates measurable value to regulators and ratepayers and much more. Want to make a suggestion for This Week in Cleantech?

The topic was titled “Operations Management – Make Practice More Efficient” which described my experience working with two dermatology clinics. In the presentation, I explain my background in healthcare improvement using Lean and Six Sigma methodologies. I explain Continue Reading

Proverbs 16 reads like a finishing school exam for civil rulers. The author's calling and experience provide the background context occasioning this passage. Nevertheless while Solomon's office as king of Israel explains the instrumental cause of blessing in the land, the chapter itself proclaims the sovereignty of God as the formal cause. Applications of this chapter extend to us as Solomon is citing the maximal case here. The implication being, if the greatest of earthly kings is subject & accountable to the law of God & if he rules merely as an instrument of God's divine decree...the same is certainly true for everyone else. Similar to chapter 15, several verses placed strategically throughout the passage pronounce the theme. These key proverbs are verse 1, 9, and 33 all of which highlight the royal preeminence of YAHWEH the ultimate sovereign, human agency

In some communities, everyone regularly uses two languages or varieties according to the social situation, with one of them being more prestigious (and more likely to be written down) than the other. This particular kind of multilingualism is known as a diglossia. In this episode, your hosts Gretchen McCulloch and Lauren Gawne get enthusiastic about diglossia! We talk about why diglossia is the answer to so many questions Gretchen gets asked at parties, what "high" and "low" versions of a language have to do with mountains, where the four "classic" cases of diglossia come from (Arabic, Greek, Haitian, and Swiss), and how at least some of them might not be diglossias anymore. We also talk about whether there are new diglossias emerging (French? English???) and how to tell if you might be in a diglossia.

Marshall and Steve discuss how moderates, centrists, and the Abundance movement can navigate the anti-status quo/economic populist moment, why the modern center naturally trends towards milquetoast, aesthetic moderation, instead of boldly picking fights, and how the fights over school reform in the 2000s and 2010s (regardless of one's opinion of charter schools and unions) offer a better model. Plus, Marshall reminds undergraduates in the class of 2026 and later that Niskanen Summer Institute applications are due February 27th.

What if your dreams weren't random… but rehearsal for awakening? In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with lucid dreaming teacher Mia Lux for a rich and provocative conversation about dream yoga, shadow integration, trauma healing, and preparing for death. Mia shares how her fear of death led her into lucid dreaming and how the practice became one of the most powerful tools for integrating trauma, working with PTSD, and accessing deeper layers of consciousness. Rather than dismissing dreams as meaningless, Mia invites us to see them as an accelerated path of self-inquiry. A way to work directly with the subconscious. A laboratory for transformation that requires no substances and no intermediary. Key Moments: 00:00:00 — Dream yoga and dying before you die 00:02:10 — Why we ignore one-third of our lives 00:05:20 — Shadow integration through dreaming 00:08:15 — PTSD and trauma healing 00:18:00 — Lucid dreaming vs. Hollywood fantasy 00:36:00 — Medicine work without medicine 00:48:10 — How to begin practicing 00:58:00 — Integration and closing reflections If you're curious about consciousness, healing, or what becomes possible when you stop dismissing your dreams, this episode offers both inspiration and practical insight. For Those Feeling the Call to Go Deeper The integration Mia speaks about — nervous system capacity, shadow work, sustained awareness — is the foundation of Ziva Level 3. Ziva Level 3 is for practitioners ready to embody what they practice. To move beyond peak states and into stabilized integration. Applications are now open.

This week, Kristin and I unpack what really happened after Step 1 went pass/fail and why medical students are now under more pressure, not less. We talk about how Step 2 quietly became the new make-or-break test, why students are leaving clinical rotations early just to study, and why calling this generation “less dedicated” completely misses the point. We also zoom way out and ask a bigger question: are we solving the right problem… or just reacting downstream? From residency application overload to imposter syndrome to the arms race of research publications, this episode is a deep dive into how medical training drifted here and why quick fixes keep creating new problems. Then, because this is still Knock Knock Hi, we pivot into something surprisingly joyful: baby vision. We break down how ophthalmologists figure out a baby's glasses prescription without asking a single “one or two,” why eye crossing matters, how retinoscopy works, and why those viral videos of babies getting glasses for the first time hit so hard. Takeaways: Step 1 Fallout: Pass/fail didn't remove pressure; it just moved it to a more dangerous point in training. Clinical Trade-Offs: Med students aren't disengaged, they're being forced to choose between learning medicine and securing a residency. Upstream Thinking: Fixing downstream symptoms won't work if the system itself keeps creating the same pressures. Imposter Syndrome Everywhere: Even high-achieving students assume they're one misstep away from failure. Baby Vision Magic: How retinoscopy works, why hyperopic babies need big glasses, and why those first-glasses videos never get old. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

What if concrete could store energy that turned buildings, roads, and infrastructure into massive power banks? In this episode, we're joined by Damian Stefaniuk, Research Scientist at MIT's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, the Concrete Sustainability Hub (CSHub), and the Electron-Conductive Cement-based Materials Hub (EC³ Hub). Damian's research explores how concrete can be engineered to conduct electricity and store energy at up to 10x the capacity of traditional materials — while simultaneously reducing the carbon footprint of cement production… Damian is a structural and materials engineering scientist who specializes in the development of sustainable construction materials and structures. His research focuses on science-enabled engineering of cement-based materials, with applications ranging from corrosion-resistant prestressed bridges and carbon-storing pre-cure carbonation to electron-conductive carbon concrete for renewable energy storage.   Dive in now to discover: How concrete can be made into a conductive material. Carbon-based conductive cement and nanomaterials. Infrastructure's role in clean energy and emissions reduction. You can follow along with Damian and his work here!
