Podcasts about Appreciation

This week we note and mourn the passing of pediatric cardiologist and thought leader Dr. Steven Lipshultz who passed on September 4, 2026. Dr. Lipshultz was one of the most significant cardiologists of the past half century and his contributions to the fields of pediatric cardiomyopathy, HIV cardiomyopathy and cardio-oncology were gigantic and meaningful. This week we turn back the clock and review a landmark work of Dr. Lipshultz from the Pediatric Cardiomyopathy Registry that was published in 2003 in the NEJM and we speak with 3 pediatric cardiomyopathy experts as well as friends and colleagues of Dr. Lipshultz - namely Dr. Neha Bansal of NYU, Dr. Daphne Hsu of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Dr. Joseph Rossano of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Each shares their remembrances of this work and provide insights into the legacy of Dr. Lipshultz. doi: 10.1056/NEJMoa021715.

From Governor Henry McMaster's refusal to suspend South Carolina's gas tax despite a massive $1.8 billion surplus to the rapid surge of radical socialist policy across the nation, we expose the shocking developments unfolding in real time! Why are taxpayers paying the price while pork spending soars? Plus, we break down the alarming rise of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) taking over the Democratic Party—and what these foreign and domestic policy shifts mean for our rights, the midterms, and America's future!

Live from the Downtown Greenville Airport, Joey Hudson joins the show on a special mission for Law Enforcement Appreciation Day!

On this episode of Men Don't Know Podcast, Chris and the crew call up some friends to find out: are appreciation posts on social media actually necessary in a relationship? Does your partner need to publicly show you love online, or should appreciation stay between the two of you? If they never post you, does that mean anything? And when does an appreciation post go from being genuine to feeling like it's just for show? The guys get different perspectives from both men and women on social media, validation, relationship expectations, and whether public appreciation really matters. Would you be bothered if your partner never posted you? Tap in and join the conversation.

James Gunn Talks Big Brother Watch the podcast on YouTube! Big Brother 28 is at a tipping point as Drew, Dee, Devens, and others face major decisions that could shake the game's alliances for good. Hosts Rob Cesternino and Taran Armstrong are joined by guest James Gunn for this strategy-packed recap episode, digging into the week's biggest moments and the root of the house's brewing drama. The group discusses how Rick Devens' risky move of volunteering to go on the block might impact his game moving forward and whether Dee's HoH bribe was a smart play or set off new waves of distrust. James Gunn shares his concern for Devens' safety going into the double eviction, noting that while Devens has played hard, most of the house sees him as the biggest threat, with only Drew targeting Dee over him. The hosts dig into shifting loyalties as Drew struggles with how much he should trust Dee and Angela, and Taylor's quiet survival strategy continues to surprise. The crew also chats about the BB Comics challenge, Diamond Power of Veto, America's Favorite vote, and the fallout from Yash's lies about the bribe. James Gunn calls out Devens' offer to go on the block as a risky, possibly game-losing move Dee uses the HoH bribe at a key moment, triggering trust issues with Yash and Barrett, as discussed by Rob and James Gunn Taran Armstrong notes that Devens is the main target for most, but Drew is quietly considering turning against Dee instead Taylor's “do-nothing with purpose” strategy earns praise from both James Gunn and Taran Armstrong Barrett's “creepy” BB Comic character and challenge performances add to the social game tension The house is split as trust frays and new deals surface. With both Devens and Dee in everyone's sights, will either survive the next double eviction, or has the vote math shifted for good? Catch all the analysis and predictions on this week's full episode.

Some people only want a Domme when lust hits, and then disappear the moment it fades. I'm not here for that. I'm Chastity Queen, and I'm talking about the patterns I see over and over in BDSM power exchange: the predictable spike, the urgent messages, the love bombing, and the drop-off once the craving is satisfied. If you've ever wondered why a dynamic starts to feel transactional, this is the hard truth behind it and the boundary that changes everything.I explain what I actually expect from submissives and slaves: consistency, obedience that isn't dependent on mood, and respect for my time. Serving me happens on My schedule, not yours, and submission includes accepting “no” without pushing. We also get into accountability and repair, because I'd rather see someone own their behaviour, apologize with humility, and make real changes than watch them avoid discomfort and repeat the same cycle.I also talk about ethics and discretion, and why respect matters even more when I'm holding someone's private world, their secrets, and their trust. Kink can be freedom, playtime, and a break from the grind, whether that's chastity, humiliation, female-led relationships, or total power exchange, but it only stays magical when appreciation is steady and standards are clear.If you're serious about ethical femdom, honest communication, and a power exchange that lasts, hit play, subscribe, share this with someone who needs to hear it, and leave a review with the boundary you refuse to compromise on.Chastity IS freedom!Chastity Queen xoxoTry to connect with your local BDSM community.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Catalytic Leadership Podcast, Dr. William Attaway sits down with John Briggs, CPA, founder and CEO of Incite Tax & Accounting and author of Take Breaks, Work Better. John shares the 2 a.m. moment that forced him to confront hustle culture head-on, the research behind human focus cycles, and the framework he now calls the 3.3 rule: work up to three hours, then take a 30 percent recovery break.

We all say our kids come first. But sometimes life gives you a moment when you find out just how automatic that really is.This week, I talk about telling my daughter Olivia that we'd find a way to make college work no matter what it cost, even as a voice in my own head wondered exactly how I planned to pull that off. Then there's Lucas, my 15-year-old nonverbal son with autism, who needs me in a very different way.When a substitute matron on Lucas's school bus grabbed his arm during a difficult transition, I reacted before I even had time to think about it. For years, I'd wondered how I would respond if someone crossed a line with my son. In that moment, I found out.But this isn't an episode about fighting the world. In fact, raising Lucas has taught me almost the opposite. I once expected judgment, confrontation and strangers who wouldn't understand him. Instead, I've encountered an incredible amount of kindness, including one stranger at a swimming pool whose words during one of Lucas's meltdowns have stayed with me for years.Our kids come first. It's easy to put on a meme or a T-shirt. Living it is something different, and for most of the parents I've met along this journey, it isn't something we even have to think twice about.It's Here!

There may never be a perfect time to buy real estate.A scary headline does not necessarily mean you have a bad investment opportunity.Employment and housing demand are critical factors for real estate investors.The ongoing housing shortage can support long-term rental demand and property values.Appreciation, cash flow, leverage, and tax advantages provide the foundation for building wealth.Discipline and buying criteria matter more than trying to perfectly time the market.The best opportunities may be available when other investors are sitting on the sidelines.Final Thought“If every light was green, everybody else would be buying.” About Jimmy VreelandJimmy graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, spent 5 years as an Army Ranger, and deployed three times twice to Iraq and once to Afghanistan. On his last deployment, he read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki which led him down the path of real estate investing. As his own portfolio grew, eventually he started a real estate investing business.

Send us Fan MailChad T. Jenkins launched more than fifty businesses before he decided to stop launching companies altogether. What he found was that the fastest growth never came from building alone. Chad, owner and CEO of SEEDSPARK and founder of SEEDSPARK CoLAB, joins William to make the case for collaboration over competition, and to show how the assets already sitting in your business become leverage the moment you combine them with someone else's. He walks through the VCR formula he learned from Dean Jackson, vision plus capability times reach, and unpacks how Kylie Jenner's lip kits and a single Nike and Tiffany collaboration prove the math. Along the way he explains the "exploded parts view" of an entrepreneur, the I AMs that make each leader unique, and why his task list has two columns instead of one.

A healthy nonprofit culture is not a “soft” issue—it directly affects employee retention, trust, innovation, performance, and ultimately an organization's ability to create lasting impact. In this episode, Rob Harter sits down with Marcia Beckner, founder and CEO of Culture CARES Global, to discuss how nonprofit leaders can intentionally build workplace cultures where employees feel valued, respected, engaged, and psychologically safe. Marcia shares her CARES framework—Commitment, Appreciation, Respect, Engagement, and Safety—and explains why psychological safety serves as the foundation for a thriving nonprofit team. Rob and Marcia also explore nonprofit leadership burnout, employee retention, trust and accountability, transparent communication during times of change, and the importance of narrowing strategic priorities so leaders and teams can pursue excellence without spreading themselves too thin. Key Topics Include: The five elements of the CARES framework: Commitment, Appreciation, Respect, Engagement, and Safety Why psychological safety is foundational to nonprofit culture, innovation, inclusion, and high performance How nonprofit leaders can improve employee retention by helping staff feel valued, respected, and appreciated Leading authentically and confidently without pretending to have all the answers How transparent communication helps organizations maintain trust during uncertainty and organizational change Preventing nonprofit leadership burnout through energy management, healthy boundaries, delegation, and sustainable pacing Why nonprofit leaders must strategically say “no,” prune unnecessary priorities, and focus resources on the few initiatives that can create the greatest mission impact Mentioned in This Episode: Culture CARES Global Connect with Marcia Beckner on LinkedIn Nonprofit CEO SPARK Podcast You Are Meant for Great Things by Marcia Beckner This Episode is Sponsored By: Donorbox Links to Resources: Interested in Leadership and Life Coaching?

My son Lucas will always be my baby. Unfortunately, someone forgot to tell his facial hair.This week, I'm talking about watching both of my kids grow up, from my 18-year-old daughter heading off to college to the startling realization that my 15-year-old nonverbal son now has Fred Flintstone stubble, incredibly hairy legs and a very teenage desire for his dad to get out of his room.I also get into why I've never liked assigning a “mental age” to Lucas, what his interests and communication actually look like, and why needing help with certain life skills doesn't make him a little kid trapped inside a teenager's body.Plus, Lucas turns on the charm for his pretty young care manager, I explain what autism appreciation means to me, and I start thinking about the much bigger question our family is approaching: What does growing up look like for Lucas?Because whether my brain is ready for it or not, my baby is growing up.It's Here!

We're finally highlighting the career of Michiru Yamane, a composer whose name has become inseparable from gothic grandeur even as her catalog stretches far beyond the castle walls she's best known for. After studying composition at Aichi Prefectural University of Fine Arts and Music, where she built her thesis around Bach, Yamane joined Konami in 1988 and spent over two decades there, composing for more than forty games. From tiny handheld chips and loud arcade cabinets to the orchestral heights of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, she proved again and again that a classical foundation could bend to almost any hardware, genre, or mood. We're tracing the full arc of Yamane's journey, from one of her earliest credited jobs in 1990 all the way to the Castlevania theme that launched her legend. Along the way, we stop in on lush RPG worldbuilding, a beat-'em-up that never left Japan, a jazz-soaked fighting game, an indie love letter to the exact genre she helped define, and the freelance era that saw her wandering happily outside her comfort zone. From haunted halls to lounge-jazz curtain calls, this Composer Appreciation episode is dedicated to an artist whose fingerprints are all over the medium, whether you realized it or not.

Most dental teams do not quit because of pay. They quit because they do not feel valued. In this conversation Dr. Paul White shows you how to change that starting today. In this episode Kevin Henry talks with Dr. Paul White, psychologist and co author of The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace, about what it really takes to make your team feel seen and supported. Dr. White explains the difference between recognition and personal appreciation and why nearly eighty percent of people leave jobs when they do not feel valued. He walks through the five languages of appreciation at work which are words of affirmation, acts of service, quality time, tangible gifts and physical touch, and why the key is to show appreciation in the way the other person actually feels it, whether that is private encouragement or public praise. You will learn how anyone in the practice can build a more positive culture from any position, how authentic appreciation improves morale, productivity and patient care, and how to recognize and respond to toxicity before it hurts retention. Dr. White also shares simple next steps and resources to help you put these ideas into practice right away.

You are a key part of the patient journey, and having the right financial options can make all the difference. CareCredit is a health and wellness credit card that offers flexible financing options, so patients can pay over time for the care they want or need, subject to credit approval. When money isn't the obstacle, patients say yes. Want to make CareCredit part of your practice's offerings and strengthen case acceptance? Email me at kevin@kevinspeaksdental.com and let's make it happen for your team. ------------------- If you work chairside, you know that good isolation and retraction can make a big difference in how smoothly a procedure goes. Keeping the field dry, maintaining visibility, and giving the clinician the access they need can help everyone work more efficiently. ISORETRACT is designed to support that process by providing isolation and retraction during dental and orthodontic procedures. It can be especially useful in practices handling orthodontics, clear aligner cases, Invisalign treatment, and cosmetic procedures where maintaining a clear, controlled working field is important. The goal is to make isolation easier for the clinical team while also helping create a better experience for the patient. Want to see what ISORETRACT could look like in your practice? Visit https://isoretract.com/ to learn more and see how ISORETRACT can help make isolation and retraction easier for your dental team. ------------------- Starting a career in dental assisting can feel overwhelming, especially when you're trying to figure out what you actually need to know before stepping into your first practice. The right preparation can help you walk in with more confidence and a stronger foundation. Dental Ready is built for aspiring dental assistants who want to prepare for the profession before taking that first step. It focuses on building the knowledge and confidence needed to enter a dental practice, while also preparing you for the people and teamwork that are part of the job.

RI1FJ – Franz Jozef Land - The RI1FJL DXpedition team in Franz Josef Land reports a very weak internet connection, causing log uploads to be slow, fragmented, and unreliable on the first attempt. The team has settled into a work routine but is tired. Propagation has been unstable, with strong signals often fading quickly. Weather has been mostly favorable, though windy, with temperatures around freezing. All of the team are doing well and they will continue to operate for another 8-9 days. 5W – Samoa - SP5AEQ, Jacek, will begin operating as 5W0AF on September 21 from a location near Apia.

In this episode, we conclude our book study on Friendship in the Lord and welcome Fr. John Burns, Founder of Friends of the Bridegroom, to the podcast. We reflect on our deep longing to be known and loved and the ways fear can cause us to cling to others or settle for lesser goods. We talk about hoping for the possibility of beautiful friendship, even when our own experience has been marked by loneliness, disappointment, or suffering. We also discuss the beauty of celibate friendship as a witness to the primacy of God's love, the role of feedback in relationships, and how the limitations we encounter in friendship ultimately reveal the deeper truth that we were made for God. Friends, we feel so blessed to have been able to journey with you this summer. We will see you on September 28th for the start of Season 19!
