It's Just One of Those Pods On the latest edition of Pod Yourself A Gun, comedian, Good Guy with a Gun, and host of the Blockbusting podcast, Jay Light joins Matt & Vince to talk about The Sopranos season five episode eleven, “Cold Cuts.” As Matt points out, despite AJ's absence from it, this is a real AJ of an episode of The Sopranos. It's like everyone in the episode feels like it's just one of those days where you don't want to wake up, everything's f*cked, and everybody sucks. Sort of the Nu Metal episode. Which makes sense as the gang agrees it's one of the worst episodes of the series (Low B+). Matt addresses some of the complaints from the mailbag episode about the autotune, and this week's Bada-B stories are pure Lieb vocals. Let that be a lesson to all of you - if you pay us enough money, we will do what you ask, but you gotta give us that scharole. There's also an argument in there about whether or not Christopher really thinks he could be a male model.

Finding good, honest people making good, honest beer isn't as easy as craft beer has led us to believe. But every once in a while, a truly singular brewery—shielded by geography and rooted firmly to the land—reveals itself, putting forth artistry in liquid form while also providing a safe, beautiful, and intentional space for everyone who stumbles across its path. Fox Farm Brewery is one such place. In his latest piece for Good Beer Hunting, titled “Degrees of Intent — Fox Farm Brewery in Salem, Connecticut,” Matt Osgood explores the unique utopian vision that founders Zack and Laura Adams have for their small New England operation, along with the cosmic coincidences that helped pave their way. By harnessing genuine curiosity and a sense of discovery, the family-run brewery remains a rare example of craft beer actually living up to expectations of humanity, where the beer is revered but the people are paramount.  As Matt explains in this podcast conversation, everyone's stories matter to somebody, and we all share memories of family, community, and communion through food and drink. He describes what drew him to Salem in the first place, and what will likely keep him coming back. We explore the overlaps between beer and wine, however esoteric, and how spontaneity tinged with intent can yield delectable results. And we also talk about what else he's working on, why he loves profiling people, and where he's going next. 

Life happens fast, and our rapid response systems often want to spring into action to find a solution. As Matt and Chris return from a brief hiatus, they share how…

As Matt and Danielle embark on Season 4, they talk about authentic discipleship, shepherding new Christians, and understanding how to better represent Christ.   This week, Matt and Danielle cover:  Defining authentic discipleship   Showing compassion like Christ   Missing out on the fruit through inauthentic discipleship  Understanding the word as your weapon  Balancing yourself as a Christian  Serving   When we strive to be as authentic as possible in our discipleship and our following of Christ, we will feel called to serve and appreciate all who serve us. The world we live in can be an extremely tumultuous and trying place, and it is up to each of us to represent Christ through his compassion for all people and his willingness to be appreciative and humble. Selflessness is our goal as followers of Christ, making ourselves as close to God's image as possible and showing us the path to righteousness.    “It's very naive of Christians to believe that just because Jesus suffered, we shouldn't have to suffer.”  Salvation   Our salvation in Christ, as Matt and Danielle have emphasized before, is free for those who choose to follow God and to become authentic Christians, but there is a cost to achieving the inheritance that the Bible promises us in heaven. The inheritance is God's ultimate gift, and suffering has to be endured to be rewarded. No individual Christian is perfect, we all have made missteps in faith, but those who are willing to pay the cost of becoming a seed for God will get to enjoy the fruits of inheritance and celebrate eternal life with Christ.   “Don't you think God is burying you? You're a seed, and this is your growth.”  Sin  Authentic discipleship does not mean that you live a flawless life without trials or sin. Instead, it is about the balance of your faith and the role you play in representing God in all his glory and salvation. Sin is a temptation brought upon us by Satan, but Christ continues to be our key to endless love and eternal life. A focus for this upcoming season is understanding that sin and suffering will always be around us, but it is up to us to learn the word, to embrace the teachings, and to strive to be more like Christ every single day.   “The more seriously you take sin, the less you want to do it because you know the consequences of it.”  --   Connect with Danielle on Instagram and Twitter.     Connect with Matt on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.   Keep up with True Vs Truth on our website, Instagram, and Facebook.   Learn more about the What's Your Forte Foundation here.   Discover more on Biblica's website, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

App Tracking Traps a Catholic Priest. How It Can Affect You, Too Craig Peterson: I've got two hot topics for you this morning. One about this Catholic priest that ended up resigning and how that happened to tie into this Grindr account. And how it affects you because this type of technology used to convict him in the court of public opinion is something that. It could also easily be used against you. [00:00:25] And, by the way, it probably is. Now the next thing is this chip shortage. I've got a quote here from the Intel CEO. When is the chip shortage going to go away? When can we get out? Play stations and our new cars. So here we go. [00:00:43] Matt Gagnon: I'm going to start. With a story that I think I covered maybe a week or two ago, and I went on a pre prolonged grant. I know you may or may not have heard me do it, but it was about this Catholic priest issue. I know you know about this in some depth and detail, as I said before. But there is this issue here. [00:01:00] He was essentially outed as having visited gay bars and had done several other things. We'll just say using Grindr, right? All these types of things. And of course, being a high-ranking Catholic official, the accusations of hypocrisy and whatnot come and blah, blah, blah, et cetera. [00:01:18] What's interesting about the story, though, to me, Craig is, the media covered it as a hypocrite priest has been found out. But how that information was discovered is not only creepy but really scary. So I want you to tell me exactly how this happened and what implications do you think it has for our privacy going forward? [00:01:39] Because this is about a heck of a lot more than one Catholic priest. This is about Greg Peterson and what he's up to when I don't know. What does it do? [00:01:46] Craig Peterson: Yeah, it absolutely is everyone. Every one of you guys that are listening right now could affect you. Here are the basics of what happened. As Matt just explained, he was outed here because he was using an app. [00:02:00] Now it wasn't just because of this one. That was being used. And then, again, how many times do I know Matt? You said this. I've heard from you many times. "You are the product." There's something free. It's not free. So behind the scenes, what happened is some people thought that maybe. Bishop was doing something that you weren't supposed to be doing. [00:02:22] They figured they would look into it a little more, trying to figure out some more details. And so they went to some of these apps and bought information. Now Grindr is one of these hookup apps, and they went to Grindr and bought location data. And it's anonymized, right? That's what we're always telling everybody. [00:02:44] Oh yeah. Yeah. I [00:02:45] Matt Gagnon: [00:02:45] don't have your name, right? They don't. Yeah. They may give you some information to people who asked for that data, but it doesn't have things that would identify you. [00:02:52] Craig Peterson: [00:02:52] Like the NSA. Don't worry. It's just anonymized. They say this stuff all of the time. However, there are many studies you can find online on how to de-anonymize data. [00:03:05] One of the easiest ways, for instance, to find out where Matt lives is, if you know an app or you suspect a few apps you might be using, you just buy the data from those apps about their users. You can now narrow it down because this phone tends to sleep at the same place every day. And that's true for you too. [00:03:24] And in this particular case, this clergyman was using this app in various places. So at least the app went to some of these capital meetings, high-level meetings, et cetera. And so they put all of this data together and added two and two together and then confronted him saying, Hey, listen, we know it's you. [00:03:47] There was no indisputable evidence of it. There was evidence that he went to all of these different meetings, and he was in all of them, and he was the only person that was all of them. And then his, this must be there for his phone, and it must be him. So this is all legal data. Now I want to add one more layer to the top of this. [00:04:06] It's legal. You can buy it. I can buy it. And the federal government is buying it because they're not allowed to track it as supposedly helpful. But, still, there's a lot of evidence that they are. And because the feds, advertisers, and others have been buying all of this data and putting it together, they also track and de-anonymize them. [00:04:28] Matt Gagnon: That's, I think, an excellent explanation. Thank you for doing that, Craig, because it's such a technical thing. I think that's what many of these companies rely on because it's difficult to understand how this even works. So the public getting fired up about it is pretty tricky, right? [00:04:42]You got to understand it, to know what to be, even opposed to, and ultimately the selling of your data anonymized or not is occurring, and it's a problem. And The inevitable question really comes here. Craig, if you don't like this, what do you do about it? Is there any way to fight against this in some fashion? [00:05:01]There's certainly, I suppose, political changes that could be made, and maybe law is different, but maybe there are things in your life you could do right now that. Would Lakey make you less susceptible to this? [00:05:12]Craig Peterson: [00:05:12] This is really big. And the data also is being bought by advertisers, obviously roadside services. [00:05:21] And one of the creepiest things too is you go to a specific type of a clinic and all of a sudden you start seeing ads about a competitor or maybe how, what you shouldn't be doing there. So what do you do about it? Here's another problem. Our phone carriers were caught about two, three years ago selling your real-time location data to these data brokers. [00:05:45] And I've had a few of them on my show before, in years past, but it's just. Don't put apps on your phone that you don't need. The iOS, Apple phones, and Android phones can turn off tracking and turn it off on an individual app basis. Now that doesn't mean that your phone can't. [00:06:10] Because they can. All right. But what it does mean is that a specific app might not have access to your location just because you're playing Tetris. So apple has even gone further now. It has made it so that the apps cannot find out what other apps are on the phone and even go to a website on your computer or phone, even though you might have cookies turned off. [00:06:35] And you've done that. Some of the other things that I've advised people to do. Yeah. The computer can still report which apps are installed and to a website, to any website the same thing with your phone. Apple's taken some fundamental, extra steps to try and block all of that. So far in the Google ecosystem. It's still more open. [00:06:56] Yeah. Delete the apps you don't need. Turn off tracking in your settings for pretty much everything. Obviously, you need it for maps. And if you are using Google maps, talking about selling your data, [00:07:11] Matt Gagnon: [00:07:11] indeed. All right. Kirk Peterson, I have a couple other questions for you here. I'm not sure if we'll get a time for all of them. [00:07:16] However, I did want to talk a bit about the chip shortage here because I continually get frustrated by my inability to buy a PlayStation, which is now a. Five month-long problem for me that trying to buy one of these things. But it's so much more than that. I was talking to somebody else. Maybe last week it was talking about trying to buy a car and you can't even, they don't even have stock. [00:07:36] Like they don't even have the car at all. And manufacturers are now starting to make their cars differently. So that they don't require the chips that there's a shortage of so that they can actually produce the vehicles. Again, I'm hearing things about crank windows in cars, like just crazy stuff here because of this chip shortage. [00:07:51] And it might last into 2023. Is that [00:07:55] Craig Peterson: [00:07:55] right? Yeah. Yeah. And that's what the CEO over at Intel is saying. Now, this is going to last a while. Everybody made mistakes here during the lockdown. We had never had this before, where the government forced businesses to shut down. If you are in business, you are an important business, or you'd be out of it, of business. [00:08:14] That's just the way it goes. And that's true for the whole chip supplier, right? So we have a long way to go as well. He's saying right now, and they are rebuilding manufacturing capability. Now here's part of the problem with the capacity is the. As they're made up, the newer trips keep getting smaller and require different ship fabrication techniques and fabrication plants. [00:08:39] That's a huge deal when you get right down to it. And what it means is look at the apple with their M1 chip, and they have just this high-speed chip of Apple's, making its own fabrication, plants, et cetera. So the chips that they're wanting today cannot be made with older fabrication plants. [00:08:59] Now, some of them have been brought online, and some of those fabrication plants are making older chips. You are right about cars. I drive a 1980 Mercedes-Benz diesel. There, there are no electronics to speak of in this car. And my kids said, Hey, do you know your car's worth like $10,000? It was I. It was just amazing. [00:09:21] You're absolutely right. The car manufacturers are dropping things, and they are lowering the prices supposedly. But, still, they're lowering the prices based on what that costs them. So, for instance, in some of these higher-end cars where you might have a smart charger that you just put your phone on, you don't have to plug anything in, and it charges up. [00:09:42]They'll give you a $40 credit. But how are you going to install that later on? How are you going to install electric ones? That was when they put in 10 old ranks. So this is really a big problem. It's hitting everybody. It's tremendously hurting my business. I'm not getting compensated for it because it's taken us forever. We ordered a box of desks for our clients in November. [00:10:07] They showed up this last month. So we're going to have to live with this. Probably into 20, 23, and maybe even longer. It should start letting up sometime next year. But your PlayStation Matt is still a way off. [00:10:24] Matt Gagnon: Wonderful. Thanks a lot. Craig Peterson, our tech guru, joins us at this time every week. We will talk to you again, sir, next week.

In recent coaching sessions, Matt and Garrett have noticed that many agents are missing opportunities to go above and beyond for their clients, and are not taking extreme ownership of their businesses and themselves. When questions come up, or something goes wrong in a transaction, the best thing you can do for your client is be their expert and handle the situation for them - gather all the information, make phone calls, do the research, and make sure you are getting the job done. Passing the buck is not only unprofessional, but it also creates confusion and stress, and gives away all your power. When you own the outcome and take responsibility for doing the best job possible, your value as an agent will prove undeniable, even if you don't get the results you were hoping for. As Matt points out, taking ownership may not guarantee results, but it guarantees you the freedom of direction and more opportunity with your clients moving forward. Whether it be with your work, health, or wealth creation, Matt and Garrett discuss the idea of taking ownership today - no one else can save money or eat a healthier diet for you. Only you can make this happen. They talk about not making excuses or blaming other agents, and how taking ownership allows for incredible growth and new problem solving. They acknowledge that this is an ongoing journey, and that changing your belief system can be difficult. However, the consequences of not owning the outcomes in your life will be even more challenging. This does not mean you have to do every single thing that comes across your plate, but instead you can focus on changing your processes and looking for ways to add value. Today's profound conversation reminds us that there are opportunities for growth and excellence all around us, and if we take ownership of those moments instead of letting them pass us by, we can grow and improve in countless areas of our lives.

Because I'm owning this outcome.” “When you don't take ownership of, We actually can control the outcome of what's going on, you're giving up all the power.” “The [agents] that are winning every single time are personally taking responsibility of, My job is to get them this house. And if they don't get it, it is my fault.” “Taking ownership doesn't necessarily guarantee results. It doesn't guarantee a particular result. However, in my opinion, it guarantees freedom of direction, it guarantees more opportunity down the way.” “No matter whether it is - your health, your relationships, your business - if you are not taking that level of control and self responsibility, then you're not going to access the freedom that you could have down the road.” “If you want to look at wealth creation, anybody who's listening to us right now - take ownership of it today. There's no reason you can't start today, there's no reason you can't start putting money aside today, no matter how much money you're making. There's no reason you can't do it. But you need to take ownership that you are the one that's going to make it happen. Nobody's going to do this for you.” “We're not talking about creating a false level of complacency or contentment. We're talking about acknowledging that everything that happens for you, everything that happens to you, is for you, and you are the creator and receiver of those things.” “Whatever is in your world, take it.” “When you take ownership of it, you now get to grow. The minute you let go of the ownership of it, you're killing growth. Because you're not looking for solutions. You're not looking for answers. You're not looking for, How could I have done this better?” “It's everything in your life - you can take that opportunity, when you get an outcome that you don't like, take that step back and say, How could I have made this outcome go the way that I wanted it to?” “If you're not taking this level of ownership, this level of self-responsibility, then it's so easy to just go right into excuses.” “If you actually build an organization around people who take that level of self-responsibility, everybody's going to step up, everybody's going to become a player. You're going to minimize the amount of victims that are in your environment.” “The hardest part is changing your belief system.” “That's my responsibility to make that happen. It's not anybody else's responsibility.” “Anytime I don't get the outcome that I want, that's my opportunity to self-analyze and be like, Okay, what could we have done to get a different way to get the desired results?” “These are these little choices that we get to make throughout the day. And you need to own that you are the creator of the results that you get.” “Don't give in that easy. If you've got something you want to do, own it, go after it and figure it out.” “This is a long, never-ending path and journey.” “It doesn't mean that you now have to do every single thing that comes across your plate when people are asking you questions. It's really about managing certain processes and looking for those opportunities to add extra value for your people.”   Links: www.TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Email us at    TSW@TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Leave a voicemail at (208) MY-NINJA   Ninja Selling www.NinjaSelling.com @ninjasellingofficial Ninja Coaching: www.NinjaCoaching.com @ninja.coaching Ninja Events www.NinjaSelling.com/Events  Garrett garrett@ninjacoaching.com @ninjaredding Matt matt@ninjacoaching.com @matthewjbonelli   The Ninja Selling Podcast Facebook Group

This edition of the Life of Fitz podcast features host Tim Fitzgerald calling his former employee, Matt Hall, who became a competitor in recent years. Fitz and Matt had a public falling out when GoPowercat left the Rivals.com Network to join 247Sports and Matt became part of the new Rivals team that competed against GPC. Their relationship soured and their feud became public, but in the spring of 2020 everything changed. As Matt explains, he reacted poorly to some medication and it led to what his doctor now believes was a manic episode. He was either fired or quit his job at K-State Online, the Rivals site, and his divorce from his boss was also public. He moved to Las Vegas and when an expected job didn't work out, he came back to Kansas and now lives in Newton, Kansas, to gather his life together after a divorce, career change and personal financial ruin. However, when Matt began to struggle emotionally, Fitz and Matt reconnected as he tried to sort through what he was experiencing. Now, a year later, his one-year restriction on talking about K-State sports has expired and he's become a member of GoPowercat.com. It's been quite a journey. *** Tim Fitzgerald is a sports journalist who writes, does TV, radio and is a long-time podcaster. He has served as publisher of GoPowercat.com, a website that focuses on Kansas State sports, for more than 20 years. Fitz also has stage 4 prostate cancer, so during the initial stages of the pandemic, his doctors have advised him to stay home and lay low. Now, Fitz is fully vaccinated and rejoining society, but his podcast lives on. Welcome to his life and the Life of Fitz podcast.

Chris Stirewalt’s third guest is AEI Fellow and Washington Free Beacon founder Matthew Continetti, who gives voice to the story of the GOP’s ascendant populism from the historical perspective of the American right and the conservative movement. As Matt says, while Trump may have proved the usefulness of populism as a last-ditch electoral strategy, the long-form history of right-wing populism shows that “apocalypticism is a feature, or even the dark side, of populist movements.” By Matt’s lights, conservative politicians in Washington had a vastly different understanding of what “constitutional conservatism” meant compared to the grassroots, but they kept in lockstep regardless. These contradictions simmered under the surface for years, only to explode into the Trump campaign. “For the Tea Partiers, [it meant] that the current government in Washington D.C. was something of an alien, invasive presence. And radical measures were necessary to beat it back.” Additionally, tune in for an analysis of Trump’s “mental jiu-jitsu” and a unique critique of the 2012 GOP autopsy.   Show Notes: -Matt’s book on Sarah Palin -Joe Wurzelbacher becomes ‘Joe the Plumber’ -Rick Santelli starts the Tea Party on live television -“The Two Faces of the Tea Party” -Matt discusses Bush’s immigration reform proposal -Buchanan’s 1992 “Culture War” speech -Obama, a pen, and a phone -David Shor speaks to the importance of “ideological positioning” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

RIP Pie-O-My Take a break from studying for your dementia test to listen to the latest Pod Yourself A Gun with comedian and podcaster Mike Falzone from the Welcome To Our Podcast and Dynamic Banter podcasts as well as Final Space on Adult Swim. Mike joins Matt and Vince to talk about the Sopranos season four episode nine, Whoever Did This. Definitely the only episode of The Sopranos to feature a goat staring directly into camera, it’s also noteworthy for a couple significant deaths - a horse and a jackass (insert rimshot here). Besides the deaths, there are a couple other close calls. Ralphie’s son Justin takes an arrow to the throat playing Lord of the Rings and ends up in the hospital. If only his father had been more present and taught him how to play Gladiator instead, the kid would not be a vegetable. Is it okay to call someone a vegetable? As Matt points out in the pod, it feels wrong to say, but no one bats an eye. Junior takes a tumble down the stairs and hits his head pretty hard. He’s responsive but doesn’t seem the same. He’s still got jokes though. Like Mike & Vince mention, old Italian men go to the grave doing bits and stock one-liners.

Welcome back to another episode of Where Are They Now? Coaching with Kimmy! In this segment, you'll hear Kimmy have honest conversations with former clients to find out where they are on their love journey, what changed since working with Kimmy, and the secrets to their success. In this episode, you'll meet Matt, who found Kimmy through a flirt workshop as he was trying to get back into the dating scene after a divorce. Matt jumps in to talk about the challenges he faced in finding a relationship leading up to his work with Kimmy.    EPISODE 190 of The Charisma Quotient Podcast is titled:  Finding Love After Divorce: Where Are They Now With Matt   You'll hear about how the barriers Matt believed were holding him back were actually not the real reasons blocking him from finding love. Kimmy and Matt talk about the impact of coaching to get him to transition from leading with what he could do for women, rather than by showing them who he is. If you, like Matt, have a tendency to jump into relationships quickly, listen in to hear how creating a goal-oriented dating plan can help slow you down and refocus on your intention. This conversation touches on an essential truth in dating - when you are willing to open up, be vulnerable and show your date who you are even when it feels scary, you begin to attract the kind of person you're looking for. Now, Matt's in a beautiful relationship with the woman of his dreams! Stay tuned to hear how they met and how excited he is that they are such a great match! This conversation will emphasize the fact that you can meet someone special, even with online dating or don't live near one another and even in the midst of a global pandemic!

“Everybody knows that the flow of discovery meetings is the constraint on their business.” So states Chris Beall, CEO of ConnectAndSell, as he and Corey Frank, our two Market Dominance Guys, continue their interview with Matthew Forbes, Head of Strategic Accounts at ConnectAndSell. Together, they explore the epiphany that is behind Matt’s recent 4-times uptick in his call-to-meeting ratio. So, what is it that increased that flow for Matt recently, and how can others adopt what he learned so that they too can increase the number of meetings they set? “I think we let people off the hook,” Matt says, “because they’re busy.” It’s second-nature to get apologetic or back down when the prospect starts making noises like, “Not now” or “Call back later.” But Matt’s epiphany about his true belief in the value of the discovery meeting and in the value of ConnectAndSell for the person he’s talking to, has changed the way he delivers his message. “You’ve got to have the right words, but the words only get you so far.” As Matt explains, if you truly believe in what you’re offering, your tone of voice will communicate that belief.

Matt and Dave are back to talk about Luke 9 and what it means for the dead to bury their dead, the challenge of this passage, and some observations about the church in today's culture. As Matt said, there are no loopholes to this passage so your toes might get stepped on in today's episode of West Franklin Talks! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/west-franklin/message

My guest in this episode is Matt Lambert, a lifelong George Harrison fan hence the reference to "Dark Horse" in the episode title. Matt's story, like so many of us, contains real highs and some challenging, painful lows. As Matt and I talked three important themes emerged for me which were the importance of focusing on people's strengths, the need to push yourself out of your comfort zone and how vital it is to find your own voice, through whatever route. This approach to life has held Matt in good stead professionally but more importantly in the close knit and talented family he and "the love of his life " Heidi have built with their three children Nathan, Ella and Luke. Matt is a self-confessed name dropper, and his often-hilarious stories span famous politicians, the Royal family and Bill Gates offering to be the Saudi Arabian Ambassador!! At the other end of the spectrum, we also talk about bullying at school, the pain of divorce, handling grief and Internet child safety. Like life itself, this episode is a roller-coaster ride but if you stay on to the end I guarantee the world will seem a better place . Matt talks towards the end of the episode about The Patchamama Project which his daughter Ella set up during lockdown. Through a worldwide network of volunteers they make and distribute reusable sanitary pads to refugees around the world. Do please take a look at The Pachamama Project | Fighting Period Poverty and if you are able to donate a little even better Matt's song choices in this episode are : 60's - The Beatles - Old Brown Shoe 70's - Fleetwood Mac - Don't Stop 80's - John Martyn - Grace & Danger 90's - Dodgy - Staying Out For The Summer 00's - Coldplay - Yellow 10's - Nothing But Thieves - If I Get High 20's - New Rules - Mountains Those selections , along with a song from every other artist and band mentioned in our chat, are included in this Spotify Playlist , just cut & paste into your browser. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0VPjLXJk0QtfAzPHoTirAu?si=uQcY6nIYRSqdM9YlTIU5OwMusic Talks supports the "Chapter" functionality available in most Podcast apps and is a great way to listen in more than one sitting.

This week, Matt and Garrett return to the issue of the low visible inventory in homes that absolutely everyone seems to be talking about lately. By taking a step back and looking at the mindset that people are bringing to this topic, it becomes readily obvious that so many are coming from the scarcity side rather than that of abundance. In today’s episode, our hosts offer some ideas and strategies to help you flip that mindset and take advantage of the unique opportunities available out there these days. During their conversation, they delve into some stats that Matt has about the number of deals that are actually taking place these days, and then go on to explain the pond analogy regarding property availability, and emphasize the need to change the current dialogue and mindset. They also look at where and how to find inventory, review the power of affirmations and introduce their affirmation challenges for us all, share a couple of excellent resources, and highlight the importance of having an abundance mindset. As Matt and Garrett make clear, you are going to see exactly what you’re looking for, so it’s time to adjust your mindset, train your sites on the inventory that exists, and make even more of your peoples’ dreams come true.   Episode Highlights:   Jim Kwik’s Limitless   Matt’s stats about deals that are happening   The Pond analogy   Changing the dialogue/mindset   Finding inventory   Matchmaking   The power of affirmations   The opportunity available to you now   Talking to those you are in flow with and other realtors   Matt and Garrett’s affirmation challenges   Pam Grout’s E-Squared   Having an abundance mindset   Quotes: “If we’re so focused on something, we’re going to miss the opportunity that we could clearly see in front of us if our mindset, if our brain, allowed us to see it.” “Your mind can drive so many things in the right direction and the wrong direction.” “Just because inventory is visibly low, doesn’t mean that deals are not happening.” “That way that we've been doing it for so long is not how the inventory is showing up.” “It’s just not where you’re looking.” “This is your opportunity to converse with your database and see if there’s opportunities to matchmake.”  “When you can all of a sudden get your head wrapped around that there’s inventory there, you see it everywhere.” “I’m starting to have more dream conversations.” “This works way better when you’ve been talking to them normally.” “I’m going to fix this inventory problem all by myself!” “There’s no time frame on how affirmations work.” “You’re seeing exactly what you’re looking for.” “There is an abundance of opportunity all around you no matter what.”   Links: www.TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Email us at  TSW@TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Ninja Selling www.NinjaSelling.com @ninjasellingofficial Ninja Coaching: www.NinjaCoaching.com @ninja.coaching Garrett garrett@ninjacoaching.com @ninjaredding Matt matt@ninjacoaching.com @matthewjbonelli

In the months after the events of SiriusXM: Endgame when “the snap” caused fifty percent of all Earwolf podcasts to disappear, Matt Besser is living in an idyllic radio landscape of his own making alternating between the original days of radio broadcasts; shock jock zoo radio; and most notably the legendary DJ known as Wolfman Jack. As Matt enters new decades encountering different radio tropes, Brett the Sound Engineer and former Earwolf producer, Dana Wickens begin to suspect that things are not as they seem.

Show notes #29 Friends with Money with Farnoosh Torabi We have Farnoosh Torabi, an honored friend, American journalist, author, television personality, and personal finance expert, as our guest this week. With Farnoosh’s wisdom, things are illuminated! As Matt, Fawn, and Farnoosh converse together, Fawn realizes that some of us (she and some of her friends) live in a state of purgatory with money. We are trapped and confined to a memory or experience with money that unless we switch our thinking and snap out of, we’ll stay in hell instead of moving on, thriving, having fun, enjoying life, and creating the lives we want to be living. We explore the concept of friends with money, by not only talking about how friendships affect economy, but also how to make friends with money as an entity in Fawn’s case, because she feels mad at money (like money is this friend that has shut her out and she wants to be in that inner circle again), longs to be friends with it and get over a world of pain she experienced with it. Farnoosh creates a path to a major transformation for Fawn and Matt (listen to the very end after Farnoosh signs off) as they talk about what transpired after the show because of their time together with Farnoosh. There was not only a major money shift, but a miraculous friend connection with someone they were talking about on the show. Tune in! Some memorable and noteworthy quotes from this episode: “Oh shit, the universe was listening. I was like; I told the universe I was going to marry this guy eight years ago. It didn't forget.” “Listen, you're putting too much on money. Money is not anything. It's a rock. It's air. It's nothing, you know? It doesn't have opinions. It doesn't judge. It doesn't!” “It's not about you versus money or money versus you. It's like; who do I want to be? What is the impact that I want to make in the world? What is it that I love about myself that I want to amplify, and what I want to really contribute in a bigger way, and how can money be the tool for me to that end? And that is it. Money is YOUR servant. You don't serve money. Can you guess who said them? (It’s Farnoosh Torabi) Minute 40:53 Farnoosh tells an inspiring story about overcoming money adversity.

Valeria interviews Matt Scarfo — A Writer, Speaker, And Owner and Private Fitness Consultant at Full-Time Fitness Matt says that if he had to choose a single thing to share with the world, it would be: empathy. This word is so appropriate for so many reasons — he states. For the greater part of his first twenty years on this Earth, Matt sought after a way to explain the feelings he had when he was around other people and observing a particular experience they were having. Deep, visceral feelings. For as long as he can remember, Matt had this ability to share in certain experiences with people while they were having them. It could have been emotional, spiritual, or physical – he feels what they feels as though it was partially his experience. As Matt has matured – it's matured. Since he know that his greatest ability allows him to help so many people in so many ways, he feels as though the dedication of all of his efforts to contributing all that he can has been long overdue. The commitment that he is making to all those that would benefit from his offerings is a commitment to each of their benefactors, as well. Matt moves through this life with a curious demeanor and inquisitive nature. He has always wanted to take things apart and put them back together - both to a certain benefit and at a certain cost. His aptitude has always been fitness and athletics and will be for his remaining tenure on this Earth. Over the last twenty years, his curiosity has fueled his passion of understanding human performance and function. And, in his own pursuits of personal growth he is committed to exploring the things that he finds fascinating and compelling. Matt is looking forward to making sense of the things he learn along the way. And he looks forward to sharing those experiences with you, in the hopes you learn from them, too. To learn more about Matt Scarfo and his work please visit: https://www.mattscarfo.com/   — This podcast is a quest for well-being, a quest for a meaningful life to the exploration of fundamental truths, enlightening ideas, insights on physical, mental, and spiritual health. The inspiration is Love. The aspiration is to awaken new ways of thinking that can lead us to a new way of being, being well.

Matt and Chris review week 14 of the NFL season through a New York lens. Jamal Adams gets the last laugh as the Jets' tank continues. The likelihood of getting the 1st pick increases while the Jets fall to 0-13. Meanwhile, the Giants lay an egg in Daniel Jones' return from injury. Should Jones have started with a hampered hammy? Last but not least, New York's true team circled the wagons once again. The Bills solidify themselves as a true contender after beating the Steelers 26-15. It's the most wonderful time of the year and the NBA preseason starts right on cue. Both the Knicks and Nets win their debut, even though each team's expectations are strikingly different. Durant and Irving return to the court for the first time as teammates, but who is steering the ship in Brooklyn? Outside of the tri-state area, Giannis proves his loyalty to Milwaukee and gets paid in the process, 5 year $228M. As Matt and Chris mentioned on their previous podcast, the NHL season will begin on January 13, 2021. Most teams will report to camp by the end of the year and begin their preparation for the 56 game season. Due to Covid-19, the divisions will realign to limit travel as much as possible. On the MLB front, not much to be discussed. However, there is still a little dash at the end of the episode. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Today’s show of the Old Dingy Jukebox is a special themed one. This episode is a collection of songs that tell stories of past events or people; stories that in one way or another were marginalized, censored, sanitized, or buried, often because they dealt with histories considered too traumatic, contentious, or even a threat to those in power. Overall, the songs in today’s episode all recount histories that survived—or that were preserved and retold—through music, when they might have otherwise disappeared. The idea for this episode came from my friend Cheryl Jimenez Frei, who is an assistant professor of history at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire. Dr. Frei used to live in Ventura California, while she was working on her PhD in history at the University of California Santa Barbara. I have talked on the show before about some of the origins of the Old Dingy Jukebox, with record listening parties my good friend Matt Sayles and I would have. As Matt’s wife, Cheryl would often get roped into our listening sessions too, and as a historian, she started up a conversation about songs as primary sources that can tell us a lot about the moment in which they were created. That conversation led to a lesson plan she put together for a public history course she was teaching at UCSB at the time, focusing on how folk music, in many senses, has served as an archive—a people’s archive—preserving events, subjects, and stories that have been absent or silenced in “official” histories or records. Cheryl invited both Matt and I to give a guest lecture and play a few tunes for that class, and now a few years later, this episode is an extension of those conversations about folk music, public history, and memory.Many people might think of folk music as only a US-American tradition, but the style and tradition exists in some form or another in countries all over the world. And in and in all of those places, music does the same: preserving the stories of the people. This episode reflects that diversity, with songs from Mexico, Chile, Ireland, and the US. Both Cheryl and Matt are guests on this episode so sit back and enjoy this history centered episode of the Old Dingy Jukebox: A People’s Archive: Buried Stories, Radical Histories, and Folk musicDonate to the podcast: https://paypal.me/christiangallo1?locale.x=en_USE-mail: olddingyjukebox@gmail.comWeb: https://olddingyjukebox.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/olddingyjukeboxpodcastInstagram: @olddingyjukeboxpodcastSupport the show (https://paypal.me/christiangallo1?locale.x=en_US)

She and our hosts also discuss forming mortgage broker and real estate agent teams, being a go-giver, her chocolate chip cookie analogy, and her non-negotiable personal habits, particularly her affirmations and gratitudes. Stacia goes into detail about her process for ensuring full communication with listing agents on behalf of her buyers, and the importance of her buyer’s presentation. Woven throughout their conversation is Stacia’s emphasis on relationships and connections and having the mindset to help people, as well as golden nuggets of advice for lenders and agents alike. There is no doubt that this is a time of volatility in the market, which makes Stacia’s excellent example and advice more valuable than ever. As Matt and Garrett suggest, this is an episode to not only listen to, but to share with all others who need to hear it as well.   Episode Highlights:     Remember to send in questions for the upcoming Q & A episode   Stacia’s perspective on what’s happening these days   Comparing 2020 to 2006   Stacia’s process for connecting with her database including annual reviews   Forming mortgage broker and real estate agent team relationships   Being a go-giver   Stacia’s chocolate chip cookie analogy   Her non-negotiable person habits   Affirmations and gratitudes   Stacia’s process regarding contacting listing agents   The importance of the Buyer’s Presentation   Quotes:   “It’s just this volatile rollercoaster…especially in the financial markets.”   “The predictors are just really kind of off whack, so to speak.”   “People have great equity positions in the market currently…we’re in a healthy market from my opinion.”   “A lot of people want to get out of their current shelter situation and move out.”   “Lenders right now are busier than they’ve ever been.”   “It’s really about making sure you’re talking to people.”   “It’s about relationships and connections.”   “I like to surround myself with very intelligent people.”   “Your focus is on other people.”   “I am also very, very focused on what I am grateful for.”   “That mindset to help people is really important to me, and, you know what?

Dustin Plantholt’s “Life’s Tough—You Can Be Tougher” podcast this week features Matthew Zachary, cancer survivor, driven patient advocate and inspirational podcaster, and Co-Founder & CEO of OffScrip Media—the first audio broadcast network focused on consumer health and patient advocacy. In 1995, at age 21—a college senior with aspirations of becoming a concert pianist and composer—Matthew was diagnosed with brain cancer and told he likely had less than six months to live. Instantly, Matthew and his family were thrust into unfamiliar and terrifying territory and a cancer landscape much different than today. At the time, cancer resources for young adults were very few and far between, and 'surviving' meant living beyond five years. Although Matthew and his family were offered comfort through a small, fragmented community, they were not able to benefit from many of today's survivorship resources. Like millions of other families, they had to do things on their own, navigate uncharted waters, make best-guess decisions and hope for the best. To help and support other families going through similar situations, in 2007 Matthew founded Stupid Cancer, a progressive social enterprise that linked his worlds of music, cancer advocacy, consumer health marketing, and technology to ensure that people like him and his family would have the opportunity to benefit from community and support resources they only wished they had in 1995. Since its founding, Stupid Cancer has become the leader in the young adult cancer space, breaking all the rules and giving a voice to millions. The podcast that Matthew started, The Stupid Cancer Show, was the world's first health podcast and amassed a global listenership in the millions. Matthew was featured on the cover of Newsweek along with coverage in the NY Times and CBS Evening News. Due in large part to his work, the landscape for Adolescent Young Adult cancer has changed dramatically. In 2019, Matthew stepped down as Stupid Cancer's CEO and launched his latest venture, OffScrip Media, the first podcasting network at the intersection of patient advocacy, education, and digital health with a mission to build community, end isolation, amplify voice, and improve quality of life for patients and caregivers. OffScrip Media produces raw, unapologetic, no-BS content that talks about real problems real people have who struggle every day to endure their lives with dignity. His current podcast, Out of Patients, is being hailed as "the voice of patient advocacy." Next month, they will launch #BCSM, a three-part narrative podcast mini-series about the birth of the Breast Cancer Social Media Community and its impact as a global network of patients, caregivers, clinicians, and researchers dedicated to empowering those affected by breast cancer. Join Dustin and Matt for a heartfelt dialogue on his extraordinary journey and how through his own health struggles is on a mission to help others cope and be heard in their unique health journeys. As Matt says, “Join me on this new adventure as I continue to galvanize the patient voice, blow up the status quo, and make big dents in the universe. After all, we are all very fortunate to not have ordinary lives.”

In conjunction with Pheasants Forever & Quail Forever’s celebration of National Hunting & Fishing week, host Bob St. Pierre and the organization’s Hunting Heritage Program Manger Colby Kerber take a deep dive into the hunting community’s R3 initiative with Matt Dunfee. Dunfee is the Wildlife Management Institute’s Director of Special Programs and one of the principle architects behind the R3 movement to address America’s precipitous decline in hunters. Colby also announces the organization’s launch of the Mentor Pledge being sponsored by ALPS OutdoorZ. Episode highlights: • Colby shares his experience as a first-generation hunter and the memorable duck hunt in college that hooked him. • Matt explains the Wildlife Management Institute’s role as a “think tank” for natural resources. He also discusses how that work led to a deep dive into the loss of hunters and potential ramifications for the rapid decline in license sales. • Matt also details the struggles of the hunting community as its efforts successfully cloned middle aged white males but didn’t adapt to reflect America’s changing demographics. • Bob and Matt also debate the comparison of hunting as a sport or a lifestyle and the ways to change the conversation to make it more inclusive. • The group also discusses the importance of mentorship. As Matt says, “become a mentor, and your circle of friends will grow exponentially”. • In the end, they review tips for mentors and how Pheasants Forever & Quail Forever can help hunters be mentors. Take Pheasants Forever & Quail Forever’s Hunter Mentor Challenge this hunting season!

All in favor of being intentional about discipling your kids—raise your hand.     Great, it’s unanimous.    Now that we agree it’s important, how exactly do we do it?    Today on Pardon the Mess, Matt Chandler walks us through the idea of discipleship. You are going to be so glad you invested your time in listening to today’s episode!   As overwhelming as it might seem, the Lord has specifically placed each of us in our children’s lives as disciple-makers. Thankfully, our job doesn’t have to be complex. As Matt puts it: “We’re simply called to do whatever we can, whenever we can, to help our family become friends and followers of Jesus Christ.”    In their book, Family Discipleship, Matt Chandler and Adam Griffin lay out a very attainable rhythm of gospel-centered discipleship. It happens in three key areas of our family lives: time, moments, and milestones. Given even the slightest bit of intentionality, each of these three areas can be touched on practically and naturally.    Matt Chandler is the lead pastor at the Village Church in Dallas, Texas where he lives with his wife and three children. He’s an amazing communicator. If you’re not already hooked, let me leave you with my favorite parenting quote from Matt: “We’re working for the thank you when they are twenty-eight, not when they are fifteen” (I haven’t been able to get his words out of my head).   Ummm—yes! Let’s make sure we’re doing the God things that our kids will thank us for when they are adults, starting with discipling them in the Lord while they are still in our homes. 

The episode today covers the very important topic of precisely how to take in the vast amount of information that is circulating as the world works through these unprecedented times. As Matt and Garrett point out, the mindset that is brought to bear when receiving  this information is key, and, as always, they have a great deal of advice to share to ensure the best possible outcome for both your business and personal life.   Throughout today’s conversation, they stress the importance of filtering the vast amount of information presented to us through a ‘for me’ lens as opposed to a ‘to me’ one. The Ninja concepts of ‘player mentality’ and ‘abundance mindset’ are reviewed, and the effect of ‘shoulding’ on yourself are discussed as well. Surrounding yourself with those who bring positive energy into your environment, and inspiring others to adopt a ‘for me’ attitude are also emphasized by our hosts. In times when so very many changes are occurring, and so much new information is presented, your mindset can be the key to thriving, and Matt and Garrett share the strategies to employ to do just that in today’s episode.   Episode Highlights:   Asking ‘Why is this happening for me?’ instead of ‘Why is this happening to me?’ Handling the information that is coming into you these days Learning from micro-moments The importance of the ‘for me’ mentality Player mentality vs. victim mentality  Abundance mindset vs. scarcity mindset ‘Shoulding’ on yourself Managing the extensive energy that is out there now The importance of your environment and the energy within it Inspiring others to adopt a ‘for you’ perspective   Quotes:   “What can I learn from this situation?”   “There’s some reason that you’re getting the results that you’re getting.”   “Everything is a growth experience.”   “When you have that ‘for me’ mentality, you begin to see opportunity all around you.”   “The need for a highly qualified real estate agent that is highly trained and knows how to get you from contract to closing safely – this is the ‘for you’ moment right now. Like, this is your time to stand up and shine if you want to take the opportunity to do it.”   “What is the value I bring to the table?”   “This is a time right now that’s making us just stop and reanalyze everything, and it’s good.”   “Take this and go fuel your lives so you can share it with others.”   Links:   www.TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Email us at TSW@TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Ninja Selling www.NinjaSelling.com @ninjasellingofficial Ninja Coaching: www.NinjaCoaching.com @ninja.coaching Garrett garrett@ninjacoaching.com @ninjaredding Matt matt@ninjacoaching.com @matthewjbonelli  

Matt Dolloff and Ty Anderson are back with another full episode. Now that all the sports are back in full swing, they can finally focus mainly on sports. The guys start off with their thoughts on the NHL and NBA broadcasts and how they've done so far, as opposed to the disaster that is Major League Baseball (2:54). The Bruins get back to work on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning, so the guys preview the game with a look at how both teams have changed since the last time they clashed in the playoffs and their expectations for the B's (13:04). Derek Jeter called for sympathy for the Marlins players who went out and caused a COVID outbreak, and Matt is having none of it (34:53).   The guys switch gears to the Patriots, who had a lot of guys opt out of the season. How concerned are they about the depth at linebacker and safety without Dont'a Hightower and Patrick Chung? (40:05) After things go off the rails for a minute they get back to the Bruins and the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and their observations on other teams. They also get into Tuukka Rask, and why Tuukka was in a lose-lose situation the second he started coughing (50:26). As Matt & Ty tend to do as lifelong hockey fans, they reminisce on some of their favorite logos, classic players, and aspects of the game (1:02:00). Finally, they give their predictions for Bruins-Lightning (1:07:07).   Matt & Ty will be back Wednesday night after the Bruins face Tampa Bay with their instant postgame reactions.

As Matt and Kevin wrap up the "middle third" of Raymond's first season, morale has never been lower. Wallowing in self-pity and complaining throughout, the hosts tackle the big questions asked by the show's fourteenth and fifteenth episodes--namely, "Which Barone man is hottest?" and "How bad does dancing have to get before it is no longer considered dancing?" Other topics include Bob's Discount Furniture, Simoniz car wax, and the original Long Island campus of Hogwarts.

Welcome back to the Whole View, episode 412. (0:27) Stacy was just talking to Sarah about how discussing covid again is not mentally what she wants to do because she is ready to move past this. In America, covid is not trending in our favor. We do have a couple of questions that we are going to get to, but before we jump into that, Stacy has some exciting, positive news to share. As mentioned previously, Stacy's family has been going through foster training. Early this week, they officially received approval to be resource parents for foster care. It is such a light among all of the darkness 2020 has brought. They started this journey in November 2019. This has been something that has brought Stacy hope and makes her feel like she can make a difference. It is one of those things that Stacy felt called to do, and she is glad she followed her instincts. The process was drawn out because of covid, but they have finally been able to move forward with everything. They hope to welcome some youngsters in need of a safe, stable home in the near future. Stacy will not be sharing anything about the kids moving forward, but she shares this announcement in the hope to inspire others to participate in foster care. It feels as if there is a stigma around fostering, and this is a time in the world where people who live in less than ideal situations are more than ever in need of safe, stable homes. If foster care is something that resonates with you, please look into it as there are so many different ways you can do it to fit your abilities and lifestyle. You are welcome to email Stacy at stacy@realeverything.com and she can share her experience with you and answer questions. Stacy genuinely feels like there is such a need for this right now.   Covid-19 Q & A Series We have a series of questions that will touch at different aspects of covid and our response to it, and our way forward. (5:02) Sarah will also share the latest science available. She hopes that this is a show that answers some of the common lingering questions that have been floating out there. Thank you to everyone who sent questions and for utilizing this show as a trusted resource! They take this role very seriously and put a lot of effort into the research that goes into this show. We hope that you continue to come to us with your questions, and understand that sometimes the answer to your question is 'we don't know'. Sarah wants to start this episode with an email that we received from Cathy. This email encapsulates our experiences in many ways. "Thank you so much for your podcast! Living in Wisconsin where the cases are going up but everything is open my husband and I have chosen to stay isolated. I have not been in a store since March 13, except for two medical appointments and that is it, and I wore a mask for those.  I am 59 years old but feel I am at a higher risk because I am on Humira for RA, have fatty liver disease even though I have never been overweight, have heart and kidney issues both related to birth defects. My diet is AIP, and with a few introductions, I have been in remission for over 2 years.  I have been feeling pretty down the past few days as I had to miss our youngest grandsons 1st birthday party. While I did attend virtually, my adult children and 6 grandchildren are not practicing social distancing, so missing them has been heartbreaking. We do play in the yard together occasionally but maintain our distance. It is so hard not hugging. I do get out for a walk daily, do many crafts so I have been sewing, painting, etc.  I just wanted to thank you for giving the information to continue believing that my husband and I are on the right course."   Stick With It Stacy has such empathy for Cathy. (7:56) We commend Cathy for sticking with it. Stacy knows it is difficult and has been there personally. It is so painful to turn down family gatherings. Stacy is happy to hear that Cathy is getting outside, and engaging as much as she can because this will not end anytime soon. We have to find ways to physical distance. However, we are social beings and our emotional well-being is so dependant on our emotional connection with others. Stacy hopes we can continue to find ways to do this. If you are at risk, it is so hard And while we are grateful for all that technology gives us access to, it still sucks to have to miss out on opportunities. Sarah felt it was important to start this episode with Cathy's comment. It is important to understand how common this experience is. This feeling of stress around being someone who is taking precautions, and feeling like we are missing out, these are real challenges. It is hard to be physically isolated in our homes, and then we have these doubts wondering if we are doing too much. This self-doubt magnifies our feelings of missing out. Sarah wants to emphasize that these feelings are common and it doesn't take away from how important it is to continue to stay at home, social distance, use our mask, and wash our hands. Know that we are together in our aloneness. Help yourself focus on the positives. No matter your circumstances, we can all relate and know that you are not alone.   Germ Exposure Let's start with Jeanie's questions for our Q & A! (16:04) Jeanie writes, "Dear Stacy and Sarah, thank you for your most recent podcast on covid. I know you must be tired of talking about this, but it was so helpful to me, mostly to know that I'm not the only one still concerned about this virus. I live in Missouri where cases are increasing and officials are not taking the virus seriously. Although my hometown of St Louis was mostly following science at the beginning, now that our local cases have fallen, half the population has gone back to life as normal. Like Sarah, I feel so much dismay that science is being disregarded and that this could all be done so much better! I'm so frustrated that we are living in a time where experts are demonized and people make up their own truth, facts, and reality. Masks should not be political, but that is exactly what's going on in Missouri. Except for Trader Joe's, most local stores have too many unmasked individuals, and as Sarah experienced, they do not respect "turns" or personal space. I only have one child, a 10-year-old daughter and she is so lonely from not having any playmates, but like Stacy, my neighbors are not taking the virus seriously enough for her to play with them. It breaks my heart to watch my daughter watch them all play together in the cul-de-sac in front of my house. It will be such a hard decision about whether she will return to school in the fall or be socially isolated indefinitely. A neighborhood mom told me she was going to tell our school board that she won't send back her kids if they require masks--because she believes masks are dangerous to her kids. My Facebook friends that live in the suburban county next to St Louis are posting pictures of their kids at dance competitions, ball games, and swim parties. Even those who were so worried about the virus a month ago! My family is looking around at all this and have begun to question me that we need to be so careful. I was really starting to feel gaslit, especially when we saw the chiropractor. She spent the entire hour trying to convince me that we shouldn't wear masks. I didn't believe most of what she said but I didn't know up from down when I left her office. She really had me questioning myself and my decisions. Your podcast brought me relief and validation.  The chiropractor did say one thing that has been bothering me that Sarah may be able to answer. She says that it's very bad for our immune systems to be socially distancing, that when we all come back together it will be disastrous. I know that historically native tribes have been killed off by the arrival of European diseases they've been isolated from for tens of thousands of years, but are you concerned that you haven't shared any germs with someone outside your family for 3 months? What about if this goes on for a year? Also, I wanted to say that I appreciated the science on how protesters are not spreading the virus and how you have come out in support of Black Lives Matters. It was the right thing to do.  Thank you!"   Being a Parent During a Pandemic Stacy adores Jeanie, and Sarah for not taking any breaths while reading about what the chiropractor told her. (19:17) This has been an issue in Stacy's neighborhood and it is fascinating. Virginia is kind of in the middle. Masks are required legally everywhere in public. This is not being respected by everyone. Matt and Stacy have had to sit down with their kids as a family to discuss this, especially because Matt has the risk of continued exposure. We don't know enough about the virus to know if people could potentially get it twice, and what that impact is. So they have made it clear as a family that they are not returning to life as normal. Stacy was very nervous about going glamping, but they followed certain rules that they set for themselves. They carefully discussed their travel plans and knew the risks, but they did not want to extend that to additional gatherings. It makes it harder to be a parent. Being a parent during this has escalated this to such a higher extent. What will this generation be on the outcome from this all? If you establish what the rules are for you and your family upfront, it makes it that much easier to define what you can and can't do and why. Stacy shared on their experience with birthdays in quarantine, video game virtual socialization, and ways they can connect kids that are not physical. Sarah has been doing the same. All of the topics related to the masks myth that Jeanie referred to in her question were covered in this podcast episode. Please also refer to this post from Sarah on mask use.   Dawn's Question What isolation is doing to our immune systems is something that Sarah wants to address. (27:02) We received a similar question from Dawn, so Sarah wants to read that question and then address both questions together. Dawn says, "wondering if you’re concerned about isolation and how that is affecting all our microbiomes? Gut health has always been so huge for you, so do you have any articles or podcasts on gut immune health related to surviving Covid-19? And do you expect a surge of illnesses related to suppressed immune systems after isolation?" All of this is linked.   Hygiene Hypothesis This ties into the original version of the hygiene hypothesis. (27:38) As originally proposed in the '90s, we needed to have this exposure to pathogens, especially early in life, to help educate and shape the immune system. What has changed about this hypothesis in recent years is the understanding of the gut microbiome. So this entire hypothesis has blended with something called the Old Friends Hypothesis. That actually the thing that we need exposure to is not pathogens, but rather this diverse range of microbial exposure to seed our microbiomes. The Old Friends Hypothesis even recognizes that there are some parasites that our immune systems have coevolved with over millennia. It is not just that we need that exposure, it is that our immune systems actually require the continued presence of these microorganisms in order to fully develop. What we really need is this acquisition of a diverse microbiome and where hygiene has steered us wrong is our overuse of cleaners and disinfectants. This has made our environments so sterile from probiotic organisms, especially environmental probiotics. When we overclean our environments and we are not getting exposed to a diverse species of microbes, this lack of seeding in our microbiomes can result in an overactive immune system. This is one piece of this puzzle. There are a lot of studies showing that social isolation and loneliness can impact immune function. That mechanism is not related to the gut microbiome. The studies show that this is a neuroendocrine mechanism.  We talked about this in TPV Podcast Episode 382: Social Media and see The Health Benefits of Connection. So we do see that social isolation and loneliness can impact immune function. Sarah thinks that the heart of this question is touching on physical isolation's impact on immune function.   Suppressed Immune Systems We have talked about ways we can try to stay socially connected while physically isolated. (31:19) However, there are not many studies about what happens to humans when they live in a sterile environment. This is because there are so few, truly sterile environments in the world. On Earth, there is no such evidence, but the astronauts on the space station do have a suppression of their immune systems. Studies showed that after about 90 days on the space station, especially first-timers, they have about a 50% reduction in the activity of natural killer cell activity. These are a type of cell that go around and find cancer type cells and virally infected cells. They then force these cells to basically commit cell suicide. These are very important cell types for our immune systems, especially in terms of cancer risk and viral infections. For the astronauts, there are three proposed mechanisms: stress, microgravity, radiation (not, lack of infections). The big risk to astronauts, besides cancer, is persistent infections. We are never actually not exposed to pathogens because we carry them with us. There’s no evidence that hermit living on Earth causes immune dysfunction. Although once you re-emerge and have contact with people, you wouldn’t have immunity to viruses that circulated while you were cloistered. So exposure is what would increase the likelihood of infection, not immune suppression. The good thing is that we are currently suppressing the circulation of all those other viruses and bacteria right now. What can we learn to take beyond this pandemic into our normal cold and flu season? If we can physically isolate at the first sign of symptoms, rather than our current societal norm, we could be preventing a lot of regular viral illness, including death from the seasonal flu. By also adopting more of us handwashing as a lifelong habit, we could evolve our norm. Yes, when we get back together there could be some other viruses that we start sharing. However, it is likely to be fairly slow build since we have taken ourselves out of circulation for all of these different viruses.   Gut Health If we are physically isolated, is it impacting our gut microbiomes? (39:34) The most important determinants of the gut microbiome are diet, nutrient status, and hormones, which are a reflection of your lifestyle choices. So these are the most important thing. There is an effective exposure, which we see in studies of family groups. We know that baboons, the closer their relationships are, the more physical interactions they have, the more common their microbiomes are. This is seen in humans too. Married couples who report having a close relationship, will have more similar gut microbiomes to each other than siblings will. This is a reflection of the fact that whenever we touch a person, we are sharing our microbiome. There is potentially an effect if kids are not getting exposed to some bacteria by not being at school. However, this is a very small effect on the gut microbiome compared to the most important thing of a healthy diet, no nutritional deficiencies, and a healthy lifestyle. All and all, Sarah's process for looking after her gut microbiome through physical isolation is no different than at any other time. Work on social connection even with physical isolation. Get Sarah’s new Gut Health Guidebook for optimal diet and lifestyle information. Incorporate probiotics like Just Thrive Probiotic and/or fermented foods And incorporate nature time if you can get is safely. There is no evidence that our immune systems are going to be suppressed by a year of living in our homes. And there is no evidence that our gut microbiomes are going to suffer. The things that are more problematic are the impacts of feeling lonely and socially isolated. This part can suppress our immune systems and can reduce the diversity of our gut microbiome. Stacy and Sarah took a moment to discuss examples that show that no one lives in a sterile environment.   Jessica's Question Jessica's question is a really good follow up to diet and lifestyle is still important. (52:25) She writes, "I know you both said you don't want to do COVID episodes every week buuuutttt, I have a COVID question. I've seen this article passed around along with the general idea that if we pushed real food, metabolic balancing, and immune support, the death toll from COVID would be much lower. In conjunction, there's been criticism of the messaging from media the only pushes vaccines, drugs, and basic immune support. I know this is an oversimplification, but in the spirit of science literacy, I'd love to hear your more nuanced view of why this is or isn't a feasible solution. I'm sure you get lots of questions, but thank you for your science-based approach to whole living! I'm an academic librarian (aka info junkie) recently diagnosed with early-stage Hashimoto's (no medication but high antibodies) so you and Stacy are a god-send!" Stacy thinks that this gets to the root of what we discussed on our last covid show regarding the mixed messaging in the community. Sarah has some science to jump into, but Stacy wants to state that you don't have to pick and choose. Covid can infect anybody in any health situation. Stacy strongly feels that the things we talk about with gut microbiome, sleep, lower stress, healthy eating, and anti-inflammatory lifestyle choices, that this is good for you and your immune system. However, this still doesn't make you immune from covid. There is no diet or healthy lifestyle that would prevent us from getting covid or even guarantee that we wouldn't have a severe course of the disease. We need to figure out a way of communicating healthy choices that don't take away from the messaging around the importance of social distancing, masks, physical isolation, and a safe and effective vaccine. There are so many barriers to adopting a healthy diet and lifestyle, broadly across our entire society, that we faced before this pandemic. It is a multi-dimensional challenge that needs to be overcome.   Nutrition & Covid Risk There is now data showing some nutrient deficiencies are problematic. (1:00:24) Very low selenium intake increases death rate from COVID-19 by 5X. The science behind this can be found here. There is some initial research being done on the impact of supplementation on covid. A combination of B12, D, and magnesium was administered in older COVID-19 patients. This was associated with a significant reduction in the proportion of patients with clinical deterioration requiring oxygen support and/or intensive care support. This is a small preliminary study and has yet to be peer-reviewed. There’s also an ongoing study looking at combo vitamin C and zinc. This is an area of active research with a lot to still learn. However, vitamin D is probably the most relevant nutrient and something that could be incorporated very simply into a national message.   Amanda's Question Amanda writes, "Love all your recent podcasts on covid. (1:02:54) I’m so glad Stacy and her family are doing well. Sarah your research is the topic of many conversations with my family and friends. Recently I read an article talking about a link between low vitamin D levels and covid. Just wondering your thoughts on this. What science have you found to supposition or dispute this if any?" Sarah wants to first provide some context to this question. There is a very well known blogger who came out in early March with an eBook that made a case for avoiding vitamin D supplementation. They said that it increases the ACE2 receptor, which is the receptor that the novel coronavirus is binding to, to enter our cells. Sarah has received a ton of questions on this research. Recently there has actually been a huge increase in studies linking low vitamin D levels with an increase in severity of covid. The first few studies were done at the population level, which means it was hard to identify cause and effect. So they were correlating country/territory latitude or average vitamin D deficiency rates with mortality rate, varying results, from null to double mortality rate. The results were varied, which you can read more about here. Now, there are studies where individuals have vitamin D levels measured. It is showing that there is quite a large effect.   Vitamin D & Covid-19 There have been quite a few studies that have looked at this. (1:05:38) One analysis that is just being published now, shows that this might be as much as a factor of 2. So having an adequate vitamin D status halves the mortality rate, compared to having vitamin D deficiency. There have been studies that have actually looked at vitamin D deficiency versus insufficiency. Backman said, "It will not prevent a patient from contracting the virus, but it may reduce complications and prevent death in those who are infected." For more on this, see here and here. Testing positive for COVID-19 was associated with increasing age and being likely vitamin D deficient, as compared to likely vitamin D sufficient.  Sarah shared the data from this study. Please also refer to this study and this study for more information on the statistical analysis that was carried out using Mann-Whitney. When you look at this collection of studies, it has just in the last month become really clear that low vitamin D is a risk for severe covid and death. Even these studies are suggesting these really high-level doses of vitamin D to address this prevalent deficiency. There have been some studies showing that perhaps one of the reasons why the rates have been lower in the northern hemisphere in the summer is related to the fact that when people are outside their vitamin D levels go up.   The ACE2 Receptor ACE2 is an enzyme that is membrane-bound.  (1:10:46) When a respiratory droplet containing SARS-CoV-2 enters your mouth or nose, it’s easily inhaled into your airway where it encounters pulmonary cells that have ACE2 enzymes embedded within their surface membranes. ACE2 is a type I transmembrane metallocarboxypeptidase that degrades angiotensin-2, thereby negatively regulating the renin-angiotensin system to lower blood pressure. ACE2’s role in regulating blood pressure is why hypertension is such a major risk factor for a more severe course of covid-19 illness. It is also found in arteries, heart, kidney, and intestines. The now infamous spike proteins on the outside of SARS-CoV-2 bind with ACE2, releasing the fusion machinery that the virus uses to dump its RNA and viral proteins into the target cell, where it hijacks the cells organelles to produce viral replicas instead of all of the various proteins that the cell needs to survive. It’s true that vitamin D increases ACE2 in various models of pulmonary injury, hypertension (see here and here). So the simplistic view spreading across the internet is to reduce ACE2 with vitamin d deficiency and you can’t get infected. WRONG!  Not only is vitamin D critical for the immune function to help fight off the virus BUT increasing ACE2 in covid is a REALLY GOOD THING! The truth is the complete opposite. It is very very important to test vitamin D levels, and supplement to bring your levels up to normal. Researchers are suggesting at least 60 nanograms per milliliter as a target. This is a discussion to have with your doctor. The whole argument of avoiding vitamin D because it increases ACE2 is completely backward. You are not going to reduce ACE2 with vitamin D deficiency to a point where the virus can't get in. It can get in no matter what. Covid-19 normalizing ACE2 levels in the context of lung injury is very very beneficial. For more information on this, be sure to also reference this article and this one and this one. This is a reminder about the importance of making sure your information is correct before putting it out into the world.   Covid-19 & Minority Groups There have been some comments online that the reason why the Black community has been so much more affected by covid is that they have a higher likelihood of being vitamin D insufficient. (1:20:50) This is due to the higher levels of melanin in their skin. You can read about this here. In this study, sex and ethnicity differential pattern of COVID-19 was not adequately explained by variations in cardiometabolic factors, 25(OH)-vitamin D levels or socio-economic factors.   Mary's Question Mary asks, "I have a question about covid19. (1:22:55)  I was sick March 9-29 with fever and other wonderful symptoms! Doc told me I probably had covid19. Thankfully I wasn’t sick enough to be hospitalized  (or tested here in GA) and I’m finally feeling much better. Still tired and having more RA pain but trying to ease AIP with reintros! Hubby and I (both 62 yrs old) got tested for the antibodies, and we’ve both tested positive. Everything on the web is saying they don’t know if that means we’re immune to the disease or can get it again. My in-laws (95&94) live in KY and we’d love to go see them and the rest of the fam. Should we just continue to live our face masked life (we still wear them inside the grocery in consideration of others) and not visit? We are interacting with a small group of neighbors in the hood, playing pickleball, but washing hands and wiping down paddles and balls, etc... no hugging, no high fiving, somewhat social distancing (not perfect). We don’t know anybody else that has had covid19 or had symptoms. Wondering if you’ve found any research concerning immunity and contagion if immune?"   Immunity The science part of this question is that we don't really have a good sense for how long you might be able to shed virus after your symptoms go away. (1:25:35) There is some research showing that people can shed virus for at least 24-days, and more public health officials are trying to talk about this. The suggested 14-day quarantine period is likely insufficient. Based on what officials are recommending, you should quarantine for 14-days after symptoms end. Even that might not be enough. There have been cases where people have tested positive for months. Some of these people have been sick for this whole period of time, and this is another thing that we don't yet understand. We don't know how long you are contagious for, and we don't know how long immunity lasts. This piece of the question is unfortunately something we can't answer at this time. We don't know if having antibodies (or what level of antibodies) is enough to protect you from reintroduction. And we don't how long after your symptoms end before you are no risk to the people around you. This makes making a decision on how to handle life post covid really hard to navigate. Stacy thinks the hardest part for them was sending Matt back to work. As Matt and Stacy returned to life after they were sick, they did have to have dialogues with people about how they were handling things given the unknown. Communication is essential. Matt and Stacy did their best to clean their house after they were sick, but it is not a personal skill of Stacy's. More than 30-days after Matt and Stacy were symptom-free, they decided to ask their long-time house cleaner to return after having a conversation with her to determine her comfort level with returning. If you have had the virus, there is no stigma with it, but you need to let people know. It is only fair that others know your information so that they can be careful. Stacy's takeaways after being sick were to quarantine for as long as possible and to communicate with people. Sarah applauds Mary for still wearing a mask to both be considerate and be a role model.   Closing Thoughts It has been a doozy of a show! Stacy and Sarah want to thank all of our listeners for submitting questions. And a huge thank you to Sarah for pulling all of the science together. As mentioned last week, we do have something coming for you in the very near future. Make sure to stay tuned, join our email lists, and we will be connecting with you more on this very shortly. We will be back again next week. Thank you again for listening, we know this was a long show. We appreciate those who have stuck with us! (1:38:25)

Sarah Crouch Takeover Have you ever wondered what it would be like to train with a group of elite runners?  To experience their daily schedules, workout routines, and eating habits?  Matt Fitzgerald, author of dozens of running books and owner of a 2:39 PR for the marathon had the opportunity to do just that!  Matt went to Flagstaff, Arizona and trained with a group of elite runners and documented his experience in his book, titled Running the Dream: One Summer Living, Training, and Racing with a Team of World-Class Runners Half My Age, which comes out in May. Training with the Elite Injuries become a common theme as we up our mileage and start getting older.  For some of us, we may believe we have set our last PR.  We can spend months or even years chasing that personal best only to realize those days are behind us.  Like many of us, Matt had similar experiences.  So, after going through a spurt of injury free running and believing that some of his best days were still to come, Matt developed the idea for Running the Dream. Matt reached out to elite running group, Northern Arizona Elite, about training with them and documenting is experience in a book.  Throughout the course of 13 weeks Matt experienced the lifestyle and full commitment of what it takes to be the best you can be. Running with individuals faster than us can be discouraging.  We can find ourselves comparing our times to theirs and this can be demoralizing. Imagine what Matt, age 46, felt like training with elite runners half his age at an elevation of 7,000 feet.  As Matt arrived to train he couldn’t even pass as one of the elite runners, let alone maintain the speed and miles they were.  However, this community of elite runners welcomed him in and made him feel like one of the group. Matt’s goal was to do everything the pros did.  He would cross train in the morning, going through different routines of strength training, and then would run in the afternoon.  Training with these individuals took some major adjustments, but once the proper adjustments were made, Matt saw experienced incredible results. Adjusting to the Altitude Matt traveled to Flagstaff, Arizona, an altitude of roughly 7,000 feet from his home in California, which is at sea level.  Running at sea level is much different than running at altitude, but Matt was able to adjust fairly quickly and provided these three suggestions. The first suggestion Matt provided was to prepare yourself prior to going to train at high altitude.  Matt spent eight weeks traveling the country and ran a marathon each weekend in a different location.  Developing a strong base of fitness can have a phenomenal impact on your training.  The second suggestion Matt provided was to begin taking iron pills.  Your iron supply is crucial if you are going to train and succeed at high altitude.  And the third suggestion Matt provided was to start slow.  Give your body time to adjust and gradually work up to your goal mileage and pace. Results of Training with the Elite Being dedicated to your training can provide you with astounding results.  If we focus on our training and make getting our workouts in a priority, will can surprise ourselves with the final outcome. This was the case for Matt.  After thirteen weeks of pushing his body and mind to their limits, he registered as an elite runner at the Chicago Marathon in 2017.  At the age of 46, Fitzgerald completed the marathon in 2:39:30, a new personal best!  He placed 146thout of nearly 45,000 participants and finished 5thin the men’s 45-49 age group. While not all of us may have the time, resources, or abilities to join an elite running group and give all of our attention to the sport, we can give focus to the workouts we are doing now.  By saying to ourselves, regardless of how today goes I am going to get my work out in, or, tomorrow I’m going to get up early, fight the urge to stay in bed, and go out on my run, we will also begin to experience amazing results.  If we want to continue to improve as runners and set new personal bests it is our responsibility to put in the work.  Stop making excuses and get out there and enjoy your next run!

Matt and Chris discuss the value of hard work, specifically hard physical labor. For the technology-addled knowledge worker of the 21st century, there is something particularly rewarding about taxing physical labor, beyond the result of the labor. As Matt says, there is value in the work itself.   Discounts Want to try online coaching for FREE? Email experience@barbell-logic.com for a free trial of Barbell Logic Online Coaching.

Over the last two months, you've stabilized, adapted and innovated. The weather is improving in most places, and maybe, just maybe, races are on the horizon? We don't know, but what we do know is that you can continue to progress. So, how should you approach your training in the coming months? If races don’t happen, you'll be priming yourself for a massive season in 2021. It will be disappointing, sure, but the work you will have done will NOT be wasted. Remember our theme: Emerge stronger. If you stay on track, the very worst outcome that can happen is that you end this season improved and primed to SHOW those improvements next year. We can think of worse outcomes, yes? So how should you approach the coming months of training? How can you start to spray that perfume of performance without overdoing it? Matt breaks it down into three main areas: * Mindset * Building the Plan * Getting it right in execution As Matt says in the podcast, "It's a great time to ramp to become Strong Like Bull, but you're going to have to sweat like a rented mule to get there." Ahh...We can smell that perfume wafting through the air. Book and Reading Resources from Podcast For those of you whose hearts are hurting right now and who want to do more to better understand and fight racism, it looks like there are some really good resources below. https://medium.com/wake-up-call/a-detailed-list-of-anti-racism-resources-a34b259a3eea Black Lives Matter Reading List: https://www.booktable.net/black-lives-matter-reading-list For kids: https://www.instagram.com/theconsciouskid/. Their Patreon page is full of good resources. Some other books that have been recommended to me: My Grandmother's Hands - This is an excellent work for understanding through an intergenerational racial trauma and healing lens, and explicitly offers exercises for police, which is interesting in the current context. Mindful of Race - While politically left-leaning, I really like the tie in to a mindfulness framework and Buddhist psychology. Why We Are Polarized - I like this a lot because of its examination of race x politics x identity White Fragility - Though challenging, I think this is an important text for anyone seeking to understand the current landscape of anti-racism work. I also think it is important to read prior to reading texts by people of color as she names a lot of the issues that people of color experience and feel when interacting with white people and, in particular, talking to them about race. From this book, one could then take on Me and White Supremacy, if they were inspired to examine themselves more deeply.

After taking the "Understand Myself" personality test based on the Big Five aspects, Matt and Chris take the Myers-Briggs and Enneagram to get a more comprehensive look at their personality types.   As Matt says, the results of the personality test shouldn't be too much of a surprise, but if they are, perhaps that points to some areas you can work on in your relationships and daily interactions. Chris points out that, having taken many personality tests as part of his business with private equity groups, the results of the test can tell you what roles you could succeed in, and what roles you are likely to struggle with. As he puts it, everyone wants to be the CEO, but few have the right personality when it comes to living the job every day.

Matt Kahn is a spiritual teacher and empathic healer who is the author of the bestselling books Whatever Arises, Love That, and Everything is Here to Help You. His newest book, The Universe Always Has a Plan: The 10 Golden Rules of Letting Go is what we gathered together to discuss today. Currently, we are all living through a global pandemic together. Instead of a typical "book interview" instead we discuss how the new spiritual paradigm is relevant to our current challenging times. As Matt says, we have all be invited into a collective, global dark night of the soul. So what does dark night ask us to shed? What does it offer us as we are transmuted by it? And how can we use our spiritual paths for our own and the collective's greater good instead of upholding old ideas that turns us against ourselves or creates a bypass. We discuss the role of nervous system regulation, surrender, the potency of stillness, and lots of spiritual myth-busting.

We also see clients privately, and you can find more information about our practices at the website as well.

One of the things I try to do on this podcast is present you with completely different approaches to recovery and improvement of mental health. So, just like last week, I'm inviting on another guest to share their thoughts and insights on the topic!   Matt Simpson is an author, speaker, and transformational coach. His 2019 book, Worth The Fight: Acting for a Better World, A Guide to Spirituality, Psychedelic Medicines, and Overcoming Trauma, provides invaluable insights and tools to overcome trauma and up-level your game. He also does some amazing, amazing work with veterans through plant medicine work where he focuses on inner work.   In this episode, Matt and I have a very frank conversation and we discuss several topics on the themes of healing through hallucinogens, facing your shadows, early life trauma vs. stereotypical masculine programming, the trauma that veterans face, and how to find what works for you in your own journey of healing.   My hope for this podcast is to bring you new ways of thinking about recovery that you may have never heard about before… and I know this episode with Matt hits that mark!   IGNTD Specials: Free IGNTD Recovery Workshop New IGNTD Recovery Live Online Support Groups   Topics Discussed: [:40] About today’s episode!
