Priya Parker wants us all to stop running from conflict and she says there is actually an art to fighting! The bestselling author of The Art of Gathering is back with her new book The Art of Fighting, a guide to having the hard conversations that can actually bring us closer together. Priya joins Danielle to unpack why avoiding conflict may be making us lonelier, how to figure out which relationships are worth fighting for, and why every fight may be revealing something deeper that we want. Plus, Priya looks at some of pop culture’s most memorable conflicts: from Issa and Molly’s friendship rupture on Insecure and Ross and Rachel’s infamous fight on Friends to the real conflict hiding inside The Devil Wears Prada. If you’ve ever avoided a difficult conversation, struggled to speak up, or wondered whether it’s time to repair a relationship or walk away, this episode will change the way you think about fighting. Priya shares: Why avoiding conflict might actually be making us lonelier How healthy conflict can bring us closer together Why the fights we avoid can reveal what we really want How to figure out what you’re actually fighting about Why conflict can be an unexpected form of intimacy How to know when a relationship is worth fighting for — and when it’s time to walk away What to do when a friendship starts to feel different Why some friendships need to evolve as we change What Insecure gets right about friendship breakups and “the dangerous truth” What the Ross and Rachel fight on Friends teaches us about group dynamics Why Priya thinks we’ve misunderstood the real conflict in The Devil Wears Prada A new way to look at Miranda Priestly’s iconic cerulean sweater speech How to ask better questions during difficult conversations Why you don’t have to resolve every fight in the moment The surprising reason some of our hardest fights can become a doorway to deeper connection Priya’s Book Recommendation: The Soul of Money by Lynne Twist Grab a copy of Priya’s book, The Art of Fighting, here.

You haven't truly had an eating disorder until you eat ten bunless Big Macs with a knife and fork

On this week’s episode of The Art of Living Big, Betsy shares some big news and while doing so is alerted to her reflex to downplay this big news to make it smaller. Are you editing your feelings? Are you minimizing your accomplishments to seem more comfortable around others? Betsy shares steps to recognize when we are doing this and advises us how we can turn it around. Also, stay tuned near the end for the announcement of the 2nd retreat! Transcript:  Welcome to The Art of Living Big, where we explore how to live intentionally and with more joy. I’m Betsy Pake, your host, master, coach, and creator of the Navigate Method. Here to help you listen in to your true desires, elevate your standards, and live life to the fullest. Now, let’s go live big. Hi, everybody. Welcome to the show today. I have had a really busy week. Tomorrow… Well, I’m recording this on a Wednesday. You guys’ll hear it on Thursday. And tomorrow I’m gonna be on NBC. So I did this last year, and I’m recording a couple episodes, doing something live for them for their noontime show. You know how, how cities have, like, their local Atlanta station and then they have, like, a little local show? Whatever. It’s still very exciting, and I’m trying to pick out my outfits, so, that’s my big personal update that I’m doing. But I, I have had this conversation, and in fact, I’ve had this same conversation a couple times with a couple different friends, and I think it kinda came up initially because we were talking about this NBC thing. I know that it’s not- Well, I, I’m about to say something, and what I’m about to say is the exact thing that I’m trying to teach you not to do. Okay? So I noticed that when I was talking about it, I was explaining that, you know, I recognize it’s, it’s not like I’m on Oprah. It’s, it’s the local daytime Atlanta show. Do you see how I tried to make that seem less? Smaller? Just, like, a little bit not as big of a deal? ‘Cause I don’t wanna feel like it’s a great big deal. It’s not that big of a deal. But also, it is, and it’s really fun, and it’s, like, a cool thing that I’m so grateful to be able to do. And I love the host of the show. She’s so fricking cool. And last year when I was on, it was so fun, and it was nice to get the video and to have it for my website, and I’m talking about two different topics, you know, in related to our, our work here. And it, seems exciting. I love to talk about it. We’re gonna talk about when you drop your kids off at college and you have nothing to say to your husband on the way home. And for a recorded episode for later, we’re gonna record a segment on why women are turning to AI. So conversations I really wanna have. So why am I trying to make it smaller? Why am I doing that? And I was talking to this other friend of mine, and we were just, like, catching up, and same kinda thing, and she was talking about some things she was doing and some big trips she was doing, and she tried to make ’em seem a little bit smaller. And a lot of the women that I know are entrepreneurs, because I’ve met them through entrepreneurial groups, and they’re all really successful. Like, I look up to them so much. And this one friend was talking about how she … how much money she makes and what her goal is for the year and some struggles that she was having. And I noticed that she was trying to- Like, uh, dummy it down a little bit, you know? And it was just the two of us. Like, we’re on the same page. We both want her to be wildly successful. And, you know, when she noticed that she’s around people who have less successful businesses or maybe make less money than she does, that she does things to try to make her life sound smaller than it is. She’s not lying, but she’s just not saying it all. She’s, like, editing. You know, trimming down the things she’s getting to do or saying, you know, “It’s not that big of a deal, it’s not Oprah.” I mean, the same things I’m talking about, and it’s so fascinating to me, like, why we do that. And even here when I’m trying to tell you about this and teach you something about it, w- I only te- I always am talking, I am… If you have been here a little while, you know this, but if you’re new here, I am with you on the journey, so I am teaching stuff as I’m learning it or things that I have learned along the way. But this is something that is continuing to come up, and I think a lot of us do this in little and small ways. So I wanna talk to you, and I want you to think about the last time that you, like, almost said something and then you didn’t. And not, I don’t mean something mean, but not something you’d regret, but something that was true. And, you know, maybe it was about how you actually feel about your, about your marriage. Maybe it was about how much money you make or how much you want to make. Maybe it was somebody asking you how you’ve been, and you had a real answer that was, like, right there in your mouth like marbles and you wanted to say it. But instead, you’re like, “You know, it’s been busy. The summer’s busy.” You edited it. Edited? Yeah. You edited it in, like, a nanosecond, and it w- it probably happened so fast that you didn’t even experience that as a decision. And, and, you know, it was an unconscious decision, not really a conscious choice. And the thing that I want you to notice about that is that you didn’t edit it bec- I’ll never get used to saying that word. You didn’t edit it because it wasn’t true. You did it because of how it might sound, and that’s a, different thing entirely So I think we have a word for this. We call it humility. You know, don’t brag, don’t make people uncomfortable, read the room, you know, be, be gracious. Nobody likes a woman who takes up too much space, you know? And look, you know, there is a real version of humility. There is. It’s the thing that keeps you, you curious. It’s knowing that you might be wrong. It’s, it’s not needing to be the center of every room that you walk into. It is a version that is good in that. And so I don’t wanna argue against humility as I just described it. But somewhere along the way, a second thing got handed to us that we call humility, and that second thing isn’t about being curious or being open to being wrong. It’s about being small. It is a version of you that says, “Whatever you have, don’t say it out loud. Whatever it is you want, keep it to yourself. And whatever you are carrying, carry it in a way that doesn’t inconvenience anybody.” And that’s not actually humility. That’s, I don’t know, some really heavy form of management. And so I wanna ask you to ask yourself who exactly is that managing? And here’s how I’ve come to think about it, and I’ve been sitting on this one for a little while. If you guys have been here, you’ve heard me talk about how I read that book,, it’s called The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good. And in that, she talks about the seven deadly sins, how we think those are tied to the Bible, but they’re not. It’s actually tied to the patriarchy, and they are a way to keep us in check, to keep us in line. So a woman who makes herself small is a woman who is easier to be around. She’s easier to be married to. She’s easier to employ. She’s easier to have as a sister or a mother or a friend. She doesn’t disrupt anything, and she takes up exactly the amount of space that’s already been allotted to her and, and doesn’t ask for anything more than that. And that is really useful. It’s, it’s just not useful to her. But it is useful because think about what actually happens when you downplay your life to make someone else comfortable. Nobody gets richer. Nobody gets happier. You know, the, the person that’s sitting there across from you doesn’t feel better about their situation because you shrank yours. All that happens is now there are two people in the room being smaller than they are, because if you stayed big, would they grow to meet you? You didn’t give anybody anything. You just, you just modeled something. And if you have daughters or nieces or younger women that watch you, you know, they, they learned it, too. They learn it quick. We learned it quick, right? And you don’t have to actually name it or, like, say a thing about it. We pick it up And here’s what I want you to think about this, because a lot of you listening are in the middle of a decision about your marriage, right? Some of you have been in the middle of that decision for years. I like to think I’m not alone. When I was in indecision for years and years, and years. But I want you to consider that this same habit is running inside that too. So I want you to think about how you talk about your marriage, like to your friends or to your sister or, you know, even, like in your own head when you’re just, like, going for a walk or you’re in the car all alone. Like, do you say it like it is? Or do you tell it in a way that sounds reasonable? Because there is a really particular thing that I think we do, and I hear it all the time, is that she will describe something that is genuinely painful, and then she’ll immediately follow it up with, “Oh, but he’s a good dad. But it’s not like he’s a bad guy. But I’m sure I’m not easier to live with either, you know? I know a lot of people have it worse.” And, you know, I, I mean, every single one of those things might be true. I think that’s what makes this little pattern so sneaky. Because if you watch what the words are actually doing, it’s, it’s taking the thing that you just said and shrinking it back down to a size that doesn’t require anybody to do anything about it, including you. And that is the same, same reflex, you know? It’s the same move. Now, I know a lot of you are, are deeply fair people, and you’d hate to be unfair about a man or a job or whatever that you have spent decades with. I get that But I wanna offer the idea that being accurate is a different job than being fair. And you can be super fair and be wildly inaccurate about you. You know, people describe to me all the time, like, so many years of loneliness, so many years of frustration. I remember in my own marriage, that was how I would describe it. That was the biggest word I would use, is I mean, insanely frustrated. I could not understand why what felt like very simple asks were n- being completely disregarded. Like, it, it just seemed, it was, like, m- crazy-making. And I hear other women saying the same thing. They will describe years of loneliness, and then spend the next, you know, four paragraphs out of their mouth making sure that he still sounds okay, that they have been fair. Then, and, you know, we tell a lot of stories in which our loneliness was, or our frustration was just, like, a detail in the story, but how he appears becomes, like, the whole point of the thing. Again, I wanna be really careful how I say this, ’cause I’m not saying we need to be unfair, and I’m not saying everything’s all his fault. I’m not saying that. I’m saying that the softener that you’re doing isn’t kindness to him. He’s not even here when we’re talking. The softener is for you. It’s for you to make sure that what you said doesn’t sound like too much. And so here’s kind of the question that I have been asking myself as I tell the story about how I’m not gonna be on Oprah. And I wanna offer it to you. What would I be saying right now if I weren’t worried about how it sounded? That’s, that’s it. That’s the whole thing What would I be saying right now if I wasn’t worried about how it sounded? Not what’s the right answer, not, like, what would a good woman say. What would I say if I didn’t seem like I thought I was too much? I don’t want people to think I think too much of myself or that I’m so great. That is, like, such a thing, right? So just strip out the part of me that’s monitoring this whole thing, and what is left? And I’ll tell you what I’ve noticed when I do this, is that the answer comes really fast. It, it’s n- it’s, it’s really obvious to me. It’s sitting right there, just, like, a half an inch below, below my voice box. And the sentence that I was about to say, which tells you something really important, which is we already know. We’re not confused. I’m not confused And even as I’m, I wanna say, like, I’m not confused about being on NBC tomorrow. It’s so fun. What a cool thing. There was a version of me 10 years ago that would have dreamed of this, to dream of picking out my outfits, you know? Like, how fun. I know from last time when I was on, we got millions of views. Like, that’s amazing marketing. Like, why would I try and make that sound less? And it is a habit. So it doesn’t always feel like it’s suppression. It feels like I’m being humble. It feels like being mature, right? I’m not making this too big of a deal. It’s no big deal And so how do you know if you’re being, like, I don’t know, uh, genuinely gracious or if you’re just shrinking? ‘Cause I think they look the same from, like, the other side of the table, you know? And here’s what I found. There are some things that we can check, and we can check them super quick, okay? So I want you to notice the speed. So real consideration takes a beat. Like, you think about the person, you think about the moment, and you make a choice. Shrinking is instant. It happens before the thought. So it, happens really, really quick. It wasn’t a decision. It never came into your consciousness. It was a reflex, okay? So real consideration is I’m talking to somebody, and I’m like, “I know they just lost their job, so I’m not gonna talk about how I just got a raise.” Like, I’m gonna just… Right? That’s real consideration. Now, doing it shrinking is when you are talking to somebody who’s doing great, and you’re like, “Oh, yeah, it’s no big deal. I mean, I got a little raise, but whatever. Everybody got one.” Do you see what I mean? You notice a little difference, right? Here’s the second thing, is you’re gonna notice how you feel afterwards. When you have been genuinely kind, you feel good about it, right? They just lost their job. I’m not gonna talk about how I just got a raise. You know? Maybe you feel a little proud of yourself. But when you make yourself small, you feel something else. You feel kinda flat. Sometimes I feel a little tired, I’ll notice, and there’s sort of, like, ugh, I wish I didn’t do that, and that feeling, I think, is the data, right? It’s the feeling of, like, there’s a room I could walk into, but I’m not gonna walk into it because I don’t wanna look like I wanna be in the room. So silly. And then number three is, like, who’s more comfortable in this? Like, real, like, graciousness, I’m gonna call it, it, it usually costs you something small, and it gives somebody something that’s really real, you know? Shrinking costs you something real, and nobody cares. Nobody gives you anything. So if you look at the room afterwards and you’re like, “Nobody benefited. Nobody benefits from me saying, ‘Well, it’s not Oprah.'” Like, nobody cares. You guys will… You’ll get off this podcast, and you’ll never think about how I’m on NBC again ’cause who… ‘Cause you don’t… You know what I mean? ‘Cause you got your own life. So it’s not me being humble. It’s me being safe or not wanting to seem too big or like I’m, like I think I’m d- so great instead of just owning this is a really cool, fun thing I get to do, and there’s no shame in that. And it isn’t Oprah, that’s true, but you don’t get to Oprah until you get to this. It’s on the way. I don’t know. Is it on the way? It- you know where I’m on the way to Drew Barrymore? That’s where we’re headed, folk. If I could be on The Drew Barrymore Show, I just want her to sit on my lap while we talk. That’s what I want. So I’m not gonna go tell you to, like, announce your new raise and your new salary over a giant dinner party. That’s not what I’m saying, but I think you need to catch it. You just need to, to notice it. You don’t have to even fix it, just notice the moment where you were about to say something that was true and something reached in and sort of changed the dials a little bit, and notice how many times a day it happens. Most of the time, I think… I think this is accurate, most women would be shocked at how many times they do it. In little ways you will shrink yourself. It might be with your husband. It might be with coworkers. It might be with yourself. You’re just talking to yourself and you do it. So just let yourself know the answer. Just let that exist because I don’t think we can make real decisions about our life using this edited information, and if the only version of your life that you have ever said out loud is the version that was pre-approved for everybody else to be comfortable with, then you have been trying to decide something enormous based on like a, a, like a kernel of it that you have created for somebody else. Like, no wonder life feels like it’s a slog, and no wonder we’re not getting where we wanna go. Don’t you think, honestly, if I was declaring I wanted to be on The Drew Barrymore Show and I was just talking about it all the time, like thinking about it in my own life and allowing it to be available to me, don’t you think if I was owning internally the fact that I’m gonna get to practice and be on NBC and do live, live TV, like that’s freaking cool. Atlanta’s a big market Like, don’t you think that would help me? And everything, if you’ve been here a while, everything you know about our brains and how our brains work, and how we actually create, don’t you think me owning it would help me to see a possibility in the future where the next thing I wanted would be available to me? Where the stretch didn’t seem that big. Because I’m creating a bigger space between me and Drew Barrymore by making this seem really small. If I made it seem bigger, the gap would close. Do you see what I mean? So I want you to think about where you’re doing this, where you’re keeping yourself from the next level of things that you want in an effort to be attainable in this version of you, in an effort to be eaten. Do you know what I mean by that? I don’t know why that’s the word coming to me, but it, to be absorbed, you know? You don’t wanna be too big of a chunk. Nobody’ll be able to chew it. So you try to make it really tiny. You’re not too much. You never, ever have been too much. You just learned early that by being a little bit less, you were safer, and you got so good at it That you forgot that it was a skill that you were taught and not a fact about who you are. So when you can start to do that, that is how I think you live a big life. All right, one last thing before we go. Punta Cana. We’re going to Punta Cana, you guys, January 21st to the 25th.

Episode OverviewHow should anglers pick streamer color when the light drops out on an East Tennessee tailwater? On this East Tennessee Fishing Report from The Articulate Fly fly fishing podcast, host Marvin Cash checks in with guide Ellis Ward for a conditions update on the Watauga River and the South Holston River after an unusually wet stretch pulled the region out of a prolonged post-Helene drought. Ellis walks through how the sudden swing from months of low water to near-constant rain has scrambled the normal dam release schedule, turning a predictable one-to-six-o'clock Watauga generation window into something closer to ten-to-six or noon-to-nine depending on the day, while the South Holston has only recently returned to regular releases after the TVA system spent the better part of a year recovering from drought. That inconsistency has made dry fly fishing unpredictable, so Ellis has leaned harder into dirty water streamer fishing, night fishing and mousing to keep clients on fish. The back half of the episode tackles a listener question on late-day streamer selection: Ellis explains that a fly's color has almost nothing to do with how a trout perceives it in low light or off-color water, since a backlit fly reads only as a silhouette regardless of hue. Instead, he breaks down why opacity and water-column position, not color, drive strikes when the sun drops or the water turns dirty, using a four-inch Drunk and Disorderly as his low light standard.Key TakeawaysHow to read Watauga and South Holston release schedules when heavy rain pushes actual generation windows well beyond their posted baseline times.Why a streamer's color becomes irrelevant to trout in backlit or off-color water, since profile and opacity determine what the fish actually sees from below.When to switch to a bigger, opaque streamer fished higher in the water column for low light or dirty water strikes.How positioning a streamer near the surface exploits the same predatory "kill shot" instinct anglers see when a big trout follows a fly up before committing.Techniques & Gear CoveredEllis breaks down a practical framework for low light and off-color water streamer fishing: when light is reduced by cloud cover, a low sun angle or dirty water, color stops mattering because a backlit fly is seen only in silhouette, so the two variables that matter are opacity (how fully the fly blocks light) and where it sits in the water column. He favors densely packed materials such as deer hair or craft fur over sparsely tied bucktail for maximum light-blocking, contrasting a sparse bucktail fly with a Craft Fur Changer to illustrate how much more effectively the denser material blocks light once it's wet and compressed. He fishes that fly higher in the water column so a predatory trout gets a clean, unobstructed shot at it rather than having to hunt it out of deeper, murkier water. His go-to for these conditions is a four-inch Drunk and Disorderly, fished in white, yellow or tan with some flash since color reads as irrelevant to the fish in these conditions.Locations & SpeciesThis report covers the Watauga River and the South Holston River tailwaters in East Tennessee, both part of the TVA's 32-dam reservoir and tailwater system. The primary target species is brown trout, with the discussion centered on dry fly fishing during stable release windows and streamer fishing when water runs high or dirty. Seasonally, the region is climbing out of a prolonged drought that followed Hurricane Helene, with persistent heavy rainfall now producing extended and inconsistent dam releases, flash flooding on Watauga tributaries and a tradeoff between stained water (better streamer fishing) and clearer water (better dry fly fishing).FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredWhat color streamer should I fish in low light conditions?Color is largely irrelevant once light is reduced by clouds, a low sun angle or dirty water, because a fly viewed from below against a backlit sky reads only as a silhouette. Instead, focus on opacity (how completely the fly blocks light) and fish it higher in the water column where a trout can see and commit to it more easily.Why doesn't fly color matter to trout in dirty or backlit water?When an object is backlit or viewed through off-color water, black, white and every color in between look essentially the same dark shape, since there isn't enough light transmission for the fish to distinguish hue. What a trout actually keys on in these conditions is the fly's profile and how much light it blocks, not its color.How should I position my streamer in the water column during low light or stained water conditions?Fish it higher in the water column rather than dredging it deep, since a trout has an easier time targeting prey it can silhouette against the surface than something buried in dark, off-color water. This also mimics how predatory fish naturally corral baitfish toward the surface for an easier, more effective strike.How have this season's dam release schedules on the Watauga and the South Holston been affected by heavy rain?After a long post-Helene drought, persistent heavy rainfall has pushed the Watauga well beyond its normal generation window, turning its typical one-to-six-o'clock release into stretches closer to ten-to-six or noon-to-nine depending on the day. The South Holston only resumed regular releases in the past couple of weeks after the broader TVA system spent months recovering from low water, making dry fly fishing inconsistent this summer.Related ContentS8, Ep 50 - Navigating Summer Waters: Ellis Ward on Trout, Musky and the Art of the Evening BiteS8, Ep 37 - Big Water, Big Fish: Ellis Ward's Strategies for Streamer Fishing SuccessS7, Ep 45 - Navigating the Waters: Streamers and Strategies in East Tennessee with Ellis WardS6, Ep 128 - Catch Big Fish: Ellis Ward's Insider Tips for East Tennessee AnglersView all East Tennessee Fishing Report episodes with Ellis WardConnect with Our GuestTo learn more about Ellis, check out our interview!Follow the ShowFollow The Articulate Fly on Facebook, Instagram, Threads and YouTube.Follow our Substack newsletter for episode updates, tips and resources.Support the ShowShop through our Amazon link to support the podcast.Join our Patreon community to support the show.If you are in the industry and need help getting unstuck, learn more about our consulting options.Subscribe & AdvertiseSubscribe to the podcast in your favorite podcast app.Think our community is a good fit for your brand?

A thousand facets sits with Alice Biolo. They discuss her childhood in Italy, how she ended up studying in Glasgow and how she found her voice one morning! About: Alice Biolo (b. 1999, Padova, Italy) is an Italian artist based in Glasgow, Scotland. Her work focuses on body-related objects, both wearable and standalone, blending traditional craftsmanship with innovative techniques. She studied Contemporary Jewellery Design, earning her diploma in 2018 from Liceo Artistico Pietro Selvatico in Padova before moving to Scotland to further her education at the Glasgow School of Art, where she graduated with a first-class BA (Hons) in June 2023. She was Artist in Residence at the Glasgow School of Art for two academic years (2023–2025) and undertook a summer residency (2024) at Plattform Schmuckkunst in Graz, Austria, where she launched Never dare I say, a public engagement project.

Dr. Cynthia Li joins us to talk about her new book, The Medicine of Flow. Trained as an internist, Cynthia developed an autoimmune condition and then chronic fatigue and dysautonomia, illnesses largely dismissed at the time as being in her head. Her own body pushed her out of the paradigm she was trained in and into functional medicine, qigong, and intuitive healing. A decade later, a second crisis took her back to housebound and taught her what all her effort hadn't: coherence, and what she calls embodied flow. We talk about surrender that isn't passivity, why nervous system regulation is only part of the picture, and how coherence moves between bodies. Guest Cynthia Li, MD, is a physician who moved from public health to integrative medicine and intuitive healing, with earlier work at Kaiser Permanente's HIV/AIDS group, San Francisco General Hospital, St. Anthony Clinic, and Doctors Without Borders in rural China. A certified qigong teacher and healer since 2014, she has served as faculty for Rachel Remen's Healer's Art program at UCSF, and her story appeared in Dr. Kelly Turner's Radical Remission documentary. She is the author of Brave New Medicine and The Medicine of Flow (May 2026).

What happens when the life you've built no longer feels fully aligned with who you are becoming?In this episode, Andrea sits down with longtime friend, photographer, entrepreneur, and mindset coach Renee Bowen for a deeply personal conversation about identity, entrepreneurship, healing, and rediscovering your authentic self.Renee shares her unexpected journey from psychology student to award-winning photographer and coach, revealing how entrepreneurship became one of the greatest catalysts for her own personal growth. She discovered that business challenges often have very little to do with strategy—and everything to do with the subconscious beliefs we've carried since childhood.Together, Andrea and Renee explore how early experiences shape our relationship with money, worthiness, creativity, and success. They discuss the importance of curiosity, meditation, nervous system regulation, and Human Design as tools for greater self-awareness and alignment.This conversation offers a powerful reminder that the answers you're searching for are often already within you.

Noah Pines spent seven years as a prosecutor in Georgia — weighing sentences, navigating cases, trying to be a fair voice inside a system that does not always reward fairness — before leaving to become a criminal defense attorney and discovering what the justice system looks like from the other side of the courtroom. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares what being a Georgia prosecutor really required of him, why he left after seven years to defend the people he used to prosecute, what working Innocence Project cases and overturning twenty year wrongful conviction sentences actually involved, what the current problems with prosecutors in America actually look like from someone who spent seven years inside that world, and what representing people accused of the worst crimes available actually requires of the attorney who takes those cases. _____________________________________________ #lawyer #criminallaw #prosecutor #truecrimepodcast _____________________________________________ Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/6pao71et #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Today's Song of the Day is “The Death Of Indie” from Art d'Ecco's album Scheele's Green, out October 23.

We know that kids spending time on social media are more likely to experience depression and anxiety. Less clear, and far more contentious, is the role we expect of schools, governments, and tech companies, and some parents are organizing.We Meet: Mothers Against Media Addiction (MAMA) Founder Julie ScelfoThis episode of our oral history project originally aired in March 2025. Since then, MAMA has grown to nearly 50 chapters nationwide, and a California court found Meta and YouTube liable for designing addictive products that harm kids - a case Scelfo has called a major win for the movement.Credits:This episode of SHIFT was produced by Jennifer Strong with help from Emma Cillekens.

What if one tiny carbon molecule could help protect your cells from oxidative stress and support the mitochondria responsible for producing your energy? In this fascinating episode of The Art of Living Well Podcast®, we sit down with Ken Swartz, aka Ken the Scientist, co-founder of C60 Power, to explore Carbon 60 (C60)—a unique form of carbon that Ken first encountered while researching radiation protection in a fusion energy lab. Ken takes us inside the science of C60 and explains why this molecule has gained attention in the longevity and biohacking worlds for its potential role in antioxidant defense, mitochondrial health, cellular energy, inflammation and healthy aging. We break down oxidative stress in simple terms, why mitochondrial function becomes increasingly important as we age, and how C60 differs from familiar antioxidants such as CoQ10 and glutathione. Ken also shares what to look for when choosing a C60 product, including purity, third-party testing, sourcing and packaging. For our midlife listeners, we dig into an especially interesting question: Could supporting mitochondrial health influence the way we experience energy, brain fog and other changes associated with aging? In this episode, you'll learn: What Carbon 60 (C60) actually is—and its surprising connection to fusion-energy research How oxidative stress affects our cells, mitochondria and aging The relationship between mitochondrial function, cellular energy and aging Why brain fog, fatigue and inflammation may be associated with oxidative stress How C60 differs from CoQ10, glutathione and other antioxidants What Ken says about C60 and hormone production—and why women using HRT should discuss supplementation with their healthcare practitioner C60 oil vs. gummies and how the different delivery methods compare What to look for when choosing C60: purity, sourcing, third-party testing and packaging Ways to assess oxidative stress and mitochondrial function What the research does—and does not—tell us about C60 and longevity How topical C60 is being used in skincare Why no supplement replaces the foundations of nutrition, movement, sleep and stress management TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – What is Carbon 60 (C60)? 03:45 – C60, mitochondria and oxidative stress 07:00 – Brain fog, fatigue and inflammation 11:00 – C60, hormones and midlife health 14:30 – How to use C60 and when to expect results 19:45 – How to choose a high-quality C60 product 21:30 – Safety, medications and who should use caution 23:30 – Testing oxidative stress and mitochondrial health 27:30 – C60 for skincare and healthy aging 29:30 – C60 vs. peptides 31:00 – How to get started with C60 Learn more + special listener offer C60 Power: https://shopc60.com Discount code: LIVINGWELL60 C60 research and education: https://www.whatisc60.org ---------------------------------------------------------- Feeling tired, inflamed, or stuck in a cycle of cravings? Join our 7-Day Fall Vitality Reboot starting September 27 and discover how much better you can feel with simple daily habits and a supportive community beside you every step of the way.

"It's more the translation of visibility. It's not so much visibility. Visibility is there, but it's what do you do with that?" - Mike Prorock, CEO, Tradeverifyd Supply chain risk has become both more complex and harder to anticipate. Geopolitical shifts, regulatory changes, multi-tier supplier dependencies, and an overwhelming volume of data are forcing procurement teams to look further into their supply chains and make decisions faster when something changes. In this episode of the ProcureTech Insider, Jim Cahalan speaks with Mike Prorock, CEO of Tradeverifyd, for a Provider of the Week discussion about turning supply chain visibility into timely, actionable decisions. Drawing on Tradeverifyd's roots in machine learning, global risk intelligence, and cross-border trade data, Mike explains why simply seeing risk isn't enough. Procurement teams need to understand what a disruption actually means to their business, determine what requires action, and focus their attention on the handful of decisions that matter most. In this episode, Mike also covers how to: -Look deeper into multi-tier supply chains to uncover hidden dependencies and potential bottlenecks -Combine external intelligence, internal business data, and emerging signals while protecting sensitive company information -Translate supply chain visibility into prioritized actions rather than overwhelming teams with alerts -Use AI agents to analyze changing conditions, explore potential responses, and reduce the manual work required to chase down data   Links: Mike Prorock on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mprorock/  Visit the Tradeverifyd profile in the AOP Provider Directory: https://artofprocurement.com/provider-directory/tradeverifyd  Subscribe to the AOP Newsletter: https://resources.artofprocurement.com/art-of-procurement-podcast-subscribe  Subscribe to Art of Procurement on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ArtofProcurement   

If you're good at what you do, but marketing your business still feels harder than it should, it's easy to assume you need a better strategy, more visibility or simply more time. But what if the piece that's missing comes before all of that? In this special episode, I'm taking you back to the beginning of Value Whispering® by reading the first chapter of my bestselling book: Value Whispering: The Smarter Way to Market Your Small Business. You'll hear the story that first helped me recognise what so many brilliant business owners are missing, why communicating your offer isn't enough if people don't understand its value, and how Value Whispering grew into a different way to think about marketing, sales and business growth. In this episode, you'll hear: why doing more marketing isn't always the answer when attracting clients feels hard the conversation that led me to uncover the missing piece in so many small businesses what Value Whispering actually means the three pillars of the Value Whispering Blueprint: True Value, Value Weaving and Self-Leadership why great marketing begins with understanding your clients and the value you create for them how to become the obvious choice without becoming louder, pushier or someone you're not why your best marketing strategy is one that works with your strengths, values and ambitions Think of this episode as your starting point for the new season of The Art of Value Whispering and the ideas we'll be exploring together in the weeks ahead.

On this solo episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan Greene explores why wealth, financial freedom, and time freedom mean something different for every person. He explains why there is no universal number that defines financial freedom and how factors like where you live, how you were raised, your lifestyle, your family, and your personal goals all shape what enough looks like. Jonathan breaks down the difference between being rich, being wealthy, and being financially free, emphasizing that someone can achieve financial freedom without being wealthy and that accumulating income does not necessarily create lasting wealth. He also examines how family history and early experiences with money can influence the way people think about saving, spending, risk, and building wealth. The episode also looks at the true cost of financial independence. Jonathan discusses how housing costs, lifestyle choices, family responsibilities, taxes, healthcare, and spending habits can dramatically change the amount of money someone needs to feel financially secure. He explains why increasing your income and acquiring assets that generate income over time can be more powerful than simply cutting expenses. Jonathan also challenges the popular FIRE movement and the idea that everyone should aim to retire as early as possible. He argues that financial freedom and time freedom are not necessarily the same thing, especially because many people actually enjoy working, building businesses, having structure, and staying productive. Instead of copying someone else's definition of freedom, he encourages listeners to determine what enough means for them. Finally, Jonathan discusses comparison, FOMO, compound interest, and the importance of creating financial habits that work for your own life. He explains why comparing your financial journey to someone else's can lead you away from your own goals and why building wealth requires saving, putting money to work, and thinking long-term. In this episode, you will hear: Why wealth, financial freedom, and time freedom are different concepts How your location, lifestyle, family, and upbringing shape your financial goals Why Jonathan challenges the FIRE movement and the idea of retiring extremely early How defining what "enough" means can change the way you approach wealth building Why saving, compound interest, reducing comparison, and creating financial mindfulness are essential to building lasting wealth Follow and Review If you enjoy the show, please follow Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing on Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review.

Matthew Toffolo chats with David Joyce about his short film "The War on Art of Doomsday Poets," a 20-minute musical comedy that serves as a promotional vehicle for his band, the Doomsday Poets. David explained that the band intentionally avoids social media and streaming services, instead selling physical products with NFC tags that provide access to their music on a secure cloud platform. The film originated from podcast skits that gained popularity, and David is now directing a feature-length version of the same concept while maintaining the band's offline approach to music distribution. David shared his background as a bass player and music producer who previously toured with bands in the 1980s, transitioning to studio work before getting into film production during the pandemic. He discussed his collaboration with singer Adam Theriault, who creates music described as a unique blend similar to "if Prince and the Doobie Brothers had a love child," and their plans to complete the feature film with one final day of shooting. —- Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod —— Love for you to try the Indy Film Festival AP. • Daily new film festival of the best new films from around the world.

It's easy to feel like you don't have enough; it's the message we constantly receive through media and advertisements. It's the message that once you have this thing, or make this much, then you will be happy... all of your dreams will come true! The truth is actually the opposite as this kind of grasping for more is associated with mood problems, anxiety, and stress.  We'll dig into this trap of "having enough" and how we can break free from it and embrace our enoughness.  About: The Joy Lab Podcast is an Ambie-nominated podcast that blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, anxiety, and depression.

And why doesn't it ever work? A: This episode explains the psychology of contingent self-worth and the neuroscience of hedonic adaptation: when you stake your value on external things, the bar always moves, the reward always fades faster than expected, and there is never enough; understanding the mechanism is the first step to stepping off the treadmill.   Q: Someone I love seems to measure their worth entirely by what they have or what they've achieved — how do I understand that, and is there a way out? A: Henry's story of his patient and Aimee's story of her father both illuminate how the having-more strategy develops and why it becomes impervious to reason; this episode also names the false-self as the construction that drives the endless proving, and points to the inner compass that is always there underneath it. The good news is that there is a way out and this series explores those paths to enoughness.    Key moments: [00:00] Welcome — Enoughness part 2: having enough [00:30] Having enough isn't really about the amount — it's the belief that acquiring this much will make the bad feelings go away  [01:00] Conditional acceptance and love: growing up having to produce, perform, or prove before being given love — the untended grief that drives the proving [01:30] Francis Weller: what happens when we aren't born into a village with a full, joyous welcome of our gifts  [02:00] Henry's story: a venture capital executive, clearly depressed, sent to therapy against his will  [04:00] CBT couldn't break through — his thinking was so distorted he was impervious to reason; he clung to the belief that he added no value whatsoever  [05:00] The lesson Henry learned viscerally: it is futile to try to fill a hole in self-worth by accumulating money or anything else we value  [05:30] If you believe external achievement proves your worth, there will never, ever be enough — and what a drain on one's energy and vitality  [06:00] Aimee's father: grew up needing to grasp for more, family lived week to week — so grasping for more was genuinely what they needed to survive  [06:30] AImee Prasek "Money can absolutely buy relief from misery, but it doesn't buy happiness or joy with the same predictability."  [07:00] The neuroscience: dopamine tracks more with anticipation of getting the thing than with actually getting it — the reward at arrival is inconsistent and can be short-lived  [07:30] Most things can be taken away — a shaky foundation if you've built your identity or worth on them  [08:00] Aimee's father attached his worth to signs of success — culture pushes this onto us too  [09:00] His business fell apart and everything came crashing down — Aimee believes his contingent self-worth collapsed with it [09:30] Watching strangers take back the repossessed items — cars, boats, pieces of him; everything he'd staked his value on, gone in a day  [10:30] Henry: a prolonged grieving right there — it's the universal human experience [11:30] Hedonic adaptation, or the hedonic treadmill: big life events shift our mood temporarily, then we return to baseline  [12:30] Like Sisyphus: pushing the same rock up the hill, same outcome every time — all that effort does not create lasting change  [13:30] Hedonic wellbeing (drive toward pleasure, avoidance of pain) vs. eudaimonic wellbeing (meaning, authenticity, self-acceptance, personal growth) — it's not one or the other; you don't have to give up pleasure  [14:30] Socially-prescribed perfectionism added to the mix: contingencies of self-worth + hedonic treadmill + belief that others demand your perfection = perfect storm  [15:00] The belief that you can and should live without pain, full of only pleasure, proving it all the time — and it is just not true  [15:30] Henry: where the false-self gets born — when we learn that our worth is conditional on performance, appearance, or achievement, we hide the real self  [16:00] We construct a version of ourselves we believe will be acceptable, lovable, worthy of belonging — and it is exhausting to maintain  [16:30] Constant vigilance: am I saying the right thing, do I look right, am I achieving enough? Always the fear of being exposed as a fraud  [17:00] The paradox: the more we invest in the false-self, the less we're actually being loved for who we are — and deep down, we know this [17:30] Donald Winnicott's work on the false-self — link in show notes; also: the Authenticity series and the episode on feeling enough as a mom  [18:00] The false-self is like holding up a complex lie — cognitively and physically exhausting  [18:30] The inner compass is always there underneath the false-self — that knowing of our worth is never lost; it's never too late to come back to it  [19:00] Head to your Experiment in the Joy Lab Program to work on having enough; head to JoyLab.coach to access the Experiments [19:00] Closing wisdom from Lynne Twist: "Sufficiency isn't an amount at all. It is an experience, a context we generate, a declaration, a knowing that there is enough, and that we are enough."   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review us wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts!    Please remember that this content is for informational and educational purposes only.

Send Kevin a Text MessageAcademy Award-nominated screenwriter and director Billy Ray joins host Kevin Goetz for a wide-ranging conversation about what makes stories work and why emotion, character, and integrity sit at the center of great screenwriting. Ray's credits include Captain Phillips, The Hunger Games, Shattered Glass, Richard Jewell, State of Play, Breach, and Flightplan. He discusses the lessons he learned from writers and films that shaped him, the discipline that has sustained his career, adapting The Hunger Games, learning from failure as a director, and why audiences need to care about what happens rather than simply wonder what happens next.Integrity, Emotion, and the Stories Billy Ray Tells (01:41): Ray identifies integrity as the recurring theme in his work and explains why the best screenwriting is an intellectual exercise designed to create an emotional response. If audiences are thinking about how smart the writing is rather than feeling the story, he says, the writer has missed the mark.Early Experiences, Curiosity, and Becoming a Storyteller (05:29): Ray reflects on experiences that shaped him at a young age and how they contributed to his sensitivity to other people's emotions. He and Goetz discuss empathy, curiosity, and why genuine interest in other people is essential to both writing and life.Knowing Your Audience: Messaging and Persuasion (13:35): A discussion about political communication becomes a broader conversation about audiences. Ray argues that effective messaging begins by understanding where people are emotionally and moving them from there, a principle Goetz connects directly to movie marketing and persuasive advertising.What Makes a Great Screenplay? (22:38): Ray recalls growing up around writers through his father, a literary agent, and being handed Alvin Sargent's Ordinary People screenplay as the standard to aspire to. He explains his fundamental rule of character: a protagonist needs both an external problem to solve and an internal problem that only the journey of the movie can fix.Great Characters, Great Villains, and the Cathartic Contract (26:29): Using Ordinary People, Rocky, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Sound of Music, and Schindler's List, Ray and Goetz examine character construction. Ray argues that a great antagonist needs a defensible point of view and that every supporting character should reveal a different facet of the protagonist.Outworking the Competition and Shattered Glass (42:01): Ray discusses early influences including Rod Serling, literature that challenged and comforted him, and his realization as a young writer that he could not control talent or the state of the industry, but he could control how hard he worked. He also names Shattered Glass, his feature directing debut, as the film of which he is most proud.The Hunger Games and the Art of Reverse Engineering (46:30): Ray remembers reading Suzanne Collins' novel overnight and immediately recognizing its potential. He describes using Jaws to persuade producer Nina Jacobson that changes could strengthen an adaptation, and explains the concept of reverse engineering a screenplay so the first two acts properly support a powerful ending. He also shares the extraordinary security measures involved in writing The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.Failure, Audience Testing, and the Oscar Chase (51:15): Ray speaks candidly about directing Secret in Their Eyes, recognizing that the film was not connecting strongly enough with audiences, and being shaken by the experience of losing an investor's money. He also reflects on his Oscar nomination for Captain Phillips, why awards can become addictive, and the danger of choosing projects because they seem like "Oscar movies" rather than because they are the right stories to tell.Host: Kevin GoetzGuest: Billy RayProducer: Kari CampanoWriters: Kevin Goetz, Darlene Hayman, Nick Nunez, and Kari CampanoAudio Engineer: Gary Forbes (DG Entertainment)For more information about Billy Ray:Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Ray_%28screenwriter%29IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0712753/Burn the Water: Available from Scholastic and booksellersFor more information about Kevin Goetz:- Website: www.KevinGoetz360.com- Audienceology Book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Audience-ology/Kevin-Goetz/9781982186678- How to Score in Hollywood: https://www.amazon.com/How-Score-Hollywood-Secrets-Business/dp/198218986X/- Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Substack: @KevinGoetz360- LinkedIn @Kevin Goetz- Screen Engine/ASI Website: www.ScreenEngineASI.com

She never set out to be a realtor. She wanted to be an artist. Art was her first language. English was her second. But life had other plans, and six years into real estate in Indianapolis, Indiana, Stacey Brown has built something real one client at a time.On this episode of Troy Talks Money, Stacey gets honest about what the job actually looks like behind the scenes. She talks about the creativity behind negotiation and why contracts are so much more than pushing papers. She shares the money mistake she sees buyers make over and over that kills deals at the last minute. She talks about the deal that almost made her walk away from real estate entirely and what she did instead. And she explains why the renter mindset is one of the most dangerous things a new homeowner can carry into their first year of ownership.She also said something about home insurance versus home warranties that every homeowner needs to hear. Insurance is for things that could happen. A home warranty is for things that will happen.This conversation is for first-time buyers, current homeowners, real estate investors, and anyone who has ever thought that buying a home is the finish line when it is really just the beginning.Connect with Stacey Brown:Instagram: @staceysolditmeformeFacebook: Stacey BrownEmail: brown.stacey@kw.comPhone: 317-732-1001Keller Williams Realty Indy Metro NortheastTroy Holt is a Certified Financial Education Instructor, Navy veteran, and debt elimination specialist.

Dr. Felecia Froe made her first real estate investment years before she even knew she was an investor. She was five years into her medical practice when it hit her that this wasn't the last thing she'd ever do. In this ICYMI crossover from Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, she tells host Jonathan Greene how an office building she bought with fellow women physicians turned out to be that first deal, though she didn't realize it until years later. From there she built fast, lost hard in 2008, and rebuilt into Money With Mission, a community that helps professional women use real estate as a financial escape hatch from bad jobs and bad relationships.    Felecia gets specific about what "social impact investing" actually means, walks through her food desert grocery store project in Tulsa, and breaks down her own portfolio, from assisted living homes to water tech startups. She closes with the advice she wishes someone had given her before 2008: get educated, find mentors, and never go it alone.    00:00 - Meet Dr. Felecia Froe and What Social Impact Investing Really Means 04:11 - An Accidental Start: From Medical Practice to First Deal 12:09 - Real Estate as a Financial Escape Hatch 19:46 - Solving Food Deserts and Rethinking Affordable Housing 26:22 - A Diversified Portfolio and the Power of Community 36:45 - Lessons From 2008 and Advice for the Next Generation You've worked hard to build your career.
