Podcasts about Attention

One misleading social post can spark a frenzy – but can brands keep playing with consumer trust? We unpack the curious ruse of a beloved emerging brand and the growing debate around "rage bait."  We also dig into Whole Foods' latest LEAP cohort and what its emerging-brand picks reveal about the next wave of CPG. Plus, we sample functional freeze pops and flavored dried mango, and hear  from the founders of three fast-growing brands about building community, creating better-for-you products and turning retail distribution into sustainable growth. Show notes: 0:20: London Calling, Buyer Bingo, LEAP Year, Creamed. Functional Freeze Pops, Better-For-You-ish – The hosts preview the October 21 London meetup at TRIP HQ, along with Nosh Live, BevNET Live and Brewbound Live in Los Angeles in December, highlighting speakers and one-to-one opportunities with Whole Foods buyers and Venable. They then examine Whole Foods Market's 2026 LEAP cohort and what the selections suggest about CPG, including global flavors, cultural heritage, convenience and food-based functionality. The conversation turns to Pistakio's social post suggesting the brand was ending, which was later clarified as the sunsetting of an earlier product version. The hosts consider the engagement and potential trust risks of "rage bait" and misleading framing. They also point listeners to a Nombase interview with Whole Foods buyer Charlie New, then sample Sleet Pops' freeze pops and discuss functional ingredients and cold-chain flexibility. Finally, they taste Chici Mama's flavored dried mango bites and debate whether they are better viewed as dried fruit or a better-for-you candy alternative, exploring what "better-for-you" really means. 27:08: Interviews from Taste Radio's San Francisco Meetup – Ray sits down with San Francisco Brewing Company founder Josh Leavy, Rotten founder Michael Fisher, and Bakeful founder and CEO Tony Davis for conversations about building brands, connecting with consumers, and navigating growth. From creating community around craft beer and leveraging founder-led social media to winning national retail distribution and driving repeat purchases, the interviews explore the opportunities and challenges facing emerging CPG brands.

September 29, 2026: a strangely big day for hypnosis.The New York Times published “Why Are We Becoming So Entranced by Hypnotherapy?”—a look at hypnosis moving further into mainstream culture, featuring practitioners including Melissa Tiers. Get ready for a "coincidence" which brings us to today's guest....Shauna Cummins is a hypnotist, artist, author of Wishcraft, and founder of the Divine Feminine School of Hypnosis. Melissa has been a formative influence on Shauna's work; Shauna says she probably wouldn't be doing this at all without her, while also taking hypnosis into distinctly artistic, spiritual, and experimental territory of that's radically hers. And yes: apparently all Greg has to hear is the phrase “Divine Feminine School of Hypnosis” and his attention is secured.His Facebook algorithm is special. Trust us, we've seen it. However, this episode goes somewhere the newspaper story doesn't quite reach.What if our renewed fascination with hypnosis has less to do with celebrity wellness trends—and more to do with the fact that we're living in an environment increasingly designed to capture our attention, shape our desires, and tell us what to imagine?What if hypnosis can also be a way of taking some of that territory back?In this conversation:Why wishing may deserve a serious second look—and what wishing wells were actually for.The difference between imagination and fantasy, and why one can move you while the other can keep you circling.How hypnosis can become an art form, not merely a clinical technique.Why artists may already be working with trance without calling it hypnosis.The strange relationship between algorithms, attention, suggestibility, and identity.Why Shauna thinks the imagination deserves something approaching reverence.And whether reclaiming your ability to imagine your own future might now qualify as a small act of rebellion. Pasted text Pasted text Pasted textShauna's work sits right at that intersection: hypnosis as artistry, hypnosis as agency, and hypnosis as what she beautifully calls “practical divine magic.” Greg swooned again. Dreams are coming true already....it's Open Loops.

US equity futures are modestly firmer, while Asian markets are mixed and European equities are sharply lower. Attention remains on the sharp rise in bond yields, with the US 10-year yield reaching a 24-year high and European yields also at multi-year highs. Resilient growth, higher oil prices, upside inflation risks and increasingly hawkish monetary policy expectations are contributing to the selloff, alongside concerns around fiscal deficits, increased AI-related issuance and forced selling by hedge funds. Energy supply also remains in focus, with the Trump administration urging Europe to release emergency diesel reserves. Meanwhile, expectations for further policy tightening remain elevated, with recent Fed commentary and signals from the BOJ keeping the global rates outlook in focus.Companies Mentioned: Tencent, Oracle, Netflix, Nu Holdings

Souvent on me demande, "concrètement ça veut dire quoi être dépendante affective", du coup j'ai décidé de te répondre en podcast si tu te poses la même question.La dépendance affective est la première cause de rupture amoureuse donc si tu veux t'en prémunir, voici quelques premières choses que tu peux faire :

Place aux Dolphins dimanche ! Retour à la maison pour nos Vikings en 3-0 face à Miami qui à l'inverse n'a toujours pas gagné. Attention au piège !Ben, Val et Axel se projettent sur cette rencontreBonne écoute !

Parfois, il suffit d'une fleur, d'un café ou même... d'un yaourt pour créer du lien. À l'occasion de la Journée internationale des personnes âgées, l'initiative Samen Toujours invite les citoyens à aller à la rencontre de leurs voisins plus âgés. 11.000 fleurs sont distribuées à Bruxelles et dans plusieurs communes wallonnes avec une consigne toute simple : les offrir à une personne âgée de son quartier. Une manière de provoquer un bonjour, une discussion et, peut-être, une nouvelle relation.Car derrière ce geste symbolique se cache une réalité : la solitude touche de nombreux seniors. Heureusement, un peu partout, des initiatives tentent de recréer des occasions de se rencontrer.En Belgique, plusieurs communes organisent ainsi des Cafés Papote, parfois appelés cafés causette. Le principe ne pourrait pas être plus simple : proposer régulièrement un lieu où les seniors peuvent prendre un café, discuter, jouer et surtout rencontrer d'autres personnes. Des initiatives de ce type existent notamment à Wavre, Evere, Doische, Ans ou Chastre. Le bon réflexe ? Se renseigner auprès de sa commune pour découvrir ce qui existe près de chez soi. Direction ensuite la France avec Tom & Josette. Ce réseau développe un concept étonnant : installer de véritables micro-crèches au sein de maisons de retraite ou de lieux intergénérationnels.Attention, il ne s'agit pas de demander aux résidents de garder les enfants ! Une micro-crèche reste une structure professionnelle de la petite enfance accueillant un petit groupe d'enfants. La différence, c'est qu'ici, les générations se côtoient au quotidien.Les enfants peuvent écouter de la musique avec les résidents, jardiner ou participer à de petites activités communes. Et contrairement à une visite ponctuelle, les rencontres se répètent. Les enfants apprennent à connaître les résidents et inversement. L'objectif est de faire de l'intergénérationnel une partie naturelle du quotidien.Dernière escale : le Japon, où une activité commerciale s'est progressivement transformée en véritable outil de lien social.Depuis des décennies, les célèbres Yakult Ladies livrent des boissons probiotiques à domicile. À l'origine, la démarche était commerciale. Mais en revenant régulièrement chez les mêmes clients, les livreuses sont devenues des visages familiers, notamment pour certaines personnes âgées vivant seules.Leur passage peut alors devenir bien plus qu'une livraison : quelques mots échangés, une conversation et une occasion de vérifier que la personne va bien. Certaines participent ainsi à des visites de courtoisie et des actions de veille auprès des seniors.Trois pays, trois modèles très différents, mais finalement une même idée : pour lutter contre la solitude, il faut multiplier les occasions de se rencontrer. Un café, une activité avec des enfants, une livraison régulière ou simplement une fleur offerte à son voisin peuvent paraître anodins. Mais parfois, ce sont justement ces petits rendez-vous qui permettent de recréer du lien et de rompre l'isolement.Vous aimez ce contenu ?

Jon asked a pediatrician of thirty-five years for the formula for influencing your kids. She gave him three words. Dr. Meg Meeker, author of Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters, says her job is to speak to dads on behalf of their children. So Jon asked the question every man here eventually asks, which is some version of just tell me what to do. She gave him a list. Attention, affection, acceptance. Whether your child is two or twenty-two or fifty, they want the same three things from you, and the third one is where most of us quietly fail. The part that will sting is the grocery store. You are listing what your daughter has done to someone you ran into, straight A's, varsity as a sophomore, and she is standing right behind you. "She doesn't feel accepted. She feels like a performer."   IN THIS EPISODE Why a pediatrician speaks to fathers on behalf of their kids The formula for influence, and why men want it as a checklist Attention: whether your child is 2 or 22 or 50, they want to be seen Affection, and how it changes shape without going away as a daughter grows Acceptance, and the grocery store conversation that turns a kid into a performer The elite swimmer whose whole relationship with her dad was built on the sport What acceptance means when your kid genuinely disappoints you "If our acceptance of them is predicated on them turning out the way we envision, we're cooked"    FULL EPISODE: https://frontrowdads.com/459  

In the second part of this discussion, Travis and Eric unpack the strange intersection of celebrity brands, influencer marketing, social-media outrage, and sports betting. They discuss why some celebrity campaigns succeed while others create backlash, how outrage has become a business model for creators, and why consumers have more power than they realize simply by choosing what they engage with. They also explore the rapid growth of sports betting advertising and the potential consequences of normalizing gambling through celebrity and influencer partnerships. On this episode we talk about: Why some celebrity and influencer brand partnerships succeed while others create brand misalignment How social-media outrage has become a monetization strategy for creators Why consumers shouldn't give more attention to marketing campaigns they don't like The risks and growing prevalence of sports betting and gambling advertising How personal responsibility and choosing what to engage with can help break the cycle of outrage-driven content Top 3 Takeaways Not every failed idea means you've lost your ability to build something great. Sometimes you simply took the wrong approach. Learn from the miss, make the adjustment, and take another swing. Attention is currency. Outrage-driven content often succeeds because people keep engaging with it—even when they claim to dislike it. Choosing not to engage can be more powerful than adding another angry reaction. Be intentional about what deserves your attention. Social media makes it easy to spend hours reacting to things that have little impact on your actual life. Focus that energy on the things that matter to you, your relationships, your work, and your financial goals. Notable Quotes "You take the swing and then you correct." "If you don't like it, like, also don't give it more attention. Then it dies." "Money only solves your money problems, but it's easier to solve the rest of your problems with money in the bank."

You didn't need identification to let them in. You needed a name and a last address, and something in you decided that was enough, because you weren't screening for a person. You were screening for coverage. You call them yours. They are a ration. Words of affirmation are the sentence a parent never finished saying to you, and you have been waiting so long for it that you stopped noticing you're the one still saying it, through their mouth, in their voice, so it finally sounds real. Acts of service are muscles you were never taught to grow in your own body, borrowed on a payment plan you call love. Physical touch is somebody else's nervous system doing the job yours was never shown how to do alone. Gifts are proof, because somewhere back there attention only arrived after a performance, and you have been performing for it since before you had the word performance. Quality time is not romance. It's surveillance, because somebody taught you people vanish, and you have never once stopped checking that they haven't. Say whose face you saw the first time somebody got close enough to touch what this whole arrangement exists to guard. You know the face. Say it in your head right now while I'm still talking, because you already did. You are not afraid they leave. You have survived that. You have rehearsed it. What you cannot survive is them staying long enough to watch the thing you built your entire identity around finally have nowhere left to hide. That is the disaster. Not the breakup. The version of you that exists the day nobody has to protect you anymore, because you do not know that version, you have never met them, and some nights you are not sure you want to. Soft life did not rescue you. It just paid somebody else to keep doing what you were supposed to learn to do for yourself, and called the avoidance an upgrade. You built walls before you built a relationship. You staffed them before you loved anyone. You inherited the blueprint before you were old enough to read, from a house, from a voice, from somebody whose mood you learned before you learned your own name, and every person since has been measured against a set of requirements you did not write and have never once questioned out loud. Tonight you question it out loud. Whether you're ready or not. Lines are open. The Voice of Reason starts now.

You can be completely focused...and still be focused on the wrong thing.The score. The crowd. Your last mistake. What your coach is thinking. What happens if you miss. Your attention is definitely somewhere—but is it on information that will actually help you perform?In Episode 57 of The Sports Mastermind, Laura Ratto continues the three-part series on concentration and focus by exploring selective attention and how athletes can learn to direct their attention toward the information that matters most in the moment.Building on the 5-Second Reset from Episode 56 and the foundational concepts of focus and concentration introduced in Episode 4, this episode moves beyond simply telling athletes to “FOCUS!” and asks a much more useful question:What information do I need right now?In this episode, you'll learn:Why being focused isn't necessarily the same as being focused on the right thingHow selective attention helps athletes filter relevant from irrelevant informationHow to think about attention as a spotlightWhy athletes need to shift between broad, narrow, internal, and external attentionHow open and closed skills create different attentional demandsWhy narrowing your attention too much can sometimes hurt performanceHow to determine whether something is giving you useful informationHow athletes and coaches can use the Spotlight Drill to deliberately train attentionWhy individual cue words can help direct attention toward useful, actionable informationThis episode also connects concepts from previous episodes on self-talk, focus and concentration, open and closed skills, relaxation, decision-making, and the 5-Second Reset.The Focus FourAttention Is Selective — You can't pay attention to everything, and you don't need to.Ask What Information You Need — Give your attention somewhere specific and useful to go.Move Your Spotlight — Learn to shift between broad, narrow, internal, and external attention depending on what the situation requires.Practice Focusing — Don't just practice your physical skills. Practice where you direct your attention.Ask yourself:What am I focused on? Why? And is it giving me useful information?Because concentration isn't just about being focused.It's about being focused on the right thing at the right time.Learn more about The Sports Mastermind, mental performance consultation, workshops, and other resources at RattoConsulting.com.

Probably unlike most knitters, Thomas usually knits things that don't have an existing pattern, which means that he has to do a lot of trial and error and figuring things out himself, which is a big part of the process that he enjoys.It was a pleasure to hear Thomas's enthusiasm for knitting and to hear how it allows him to access both a sense of calm for a busy mind as well as recreating a type of wonder and joy that he remembers from childhood.I really hope you enjoy this episode.Find out more about Thomas on Instagram or TikTok-------------

What does self-worth really look like when we stop trying to be perfectly secure? Dr. Ann Kelley talks with psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Marisa G. Franco about her new book, Worth: The New Science of Self-Esteem and Secure Attachment. Dr. Franco challenges the idea that healing means becoming perfectly “secure,” arguing instead for becoming “secure-ish”—learning to acknowledge insecurity, shame, vulnerability, and other difficult emotions without judging or rejecting those parts of ourselves. She explores the difference between self-esteem and true self-worth, why some people struggle to receive love or positive feedback, and how our deeply held stories about ourselves can shape the relationships and experiences we seek out. The conversation also navigates into the science of memory and memory reconsolidation, including how past experiences can continue to influence our emotions and reactions even when we don't consciously remember them. “Being a steward of self-worth for self and for others is about allowing people to make mistakes and be imperfect.” – Dr. Marisa G.

The Yankees open their Wild Card series against Boston with Evan Roberts calling the Red Sox frauds, pointing to one historic hot streak surrounded by long stretches of losing or mediocre baseball. Evan believes the Yankees were the far more consistent team, even while acknowledging how unpredictable a best-of-three series can be. Attention turns to Cam Schlittler's workload in Game 1 and the possibility of Gerrit Cole starting a winner-take-all Game 3 despite his history of struggles against Boston. Evan, Tiki Barber, and Shaun Morash also debate how Carlos Rodon could be used in an emergency before briefly turning to Shaun's Rangers season prediction.

The conversation begins with introductions and an overview of Dr. Wilkens' research examining vitamin D biology across ruminants and other livestock species. It is explained that vitamin D should not be viewed solely as a vitamin but rather as the precursor to a highly regulated steroid hormone system with complex feedback mechanisms that influence numerous physiological processes throughout the body. The panel discusses how activation and regulation of vitamin D metabolism affects livestock health and why a deeper understanding of these pathways continues to be important for both researchers and nutritionists (00:00 – 06:59). Building on that foundation, the discussion explores emerging areas of vitamin D research beyond its traditional role in preventing rickets and supporting skeletal development. Evidence suggesting vitamin D may influence muscle function, recovery, immune responses, and other physiological systems is reviewed. However, the panel also emphasizes that caution should be exercised when interpreting observational studies, since associations do not necessarily establish causation. Consequently, additional controlled research is believed to be necessary before broader conclusions can be drawn (07:00 – 10:33). Attention then turns to one of the most frequently debated questions in mineral nutrition: what constitutes an optimal vitamin D status in modern dairy cattle. Plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations are discussed as a common biomarker, yet challenges remain when attempting to define ideal target values. Furthermore, differences observed between pasture-raised and indoor-housed animals are examined, illustrating the complexity of developing universal recommendations. As dairy production systems continue to evolve, uncertainty remains regarding the most appropriate vitamin D supplementation strategies for high-producing livestock (10:34 – 16:47). The relationship between vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin K is subsequently explored. Questions surrounding vitamin K2 supplementation, calcium transport mechanisms, and mineral metabolism are discussed in detail. In addition, species-specific differences are highlighted as an important factor that complicates the development of broad nutritional recommendations across animal populations (16:48 – 18:38). A major focus of the episode centers on phosphorus management and transition cow health. Dr. Wilkens and the panel discuss phosphorus binders and their potential role in hypocalcemia prevention by influencing calcium homeostasis. The biological mechanisms linking phosphorus restriction and calcium metabolism are examined, while practical questions regarding implementation and effectiveness are also considered. As a result, listeners gain insight into how phosphorus-binding strategies may complement established approaches used to reduce milk fever risk in dairy herds (18:39 – 21:24). The conversation then shifts toward vitamin D's role in immune function. Research examining the local production of active vitamin D metabolites within immune cells is reviewed, along with evidence suggesting vitamin D status may affect immune responses under specific challenge conditions. While promising findings have been reported, the panel notes that additional work remains necessary to fully understand these relationships and their practical applications in livestock production systems ((21:25 – 23:10). Vitamin D nutrition in calves and young animals is also discussed. Natural vitamin D concentrations found in colostrum and milk are reviewed alongside supplementation strategies commonly used in milk replacers. However, it is noted that much of the available research focuses primarily on preventing classical deficiency diseases, while comparatively little information exists regarding optimal vitamin D levels for growth, immunity, and overall performance in young animals. Consequently, significant opportunities for future research continue to exist in this area (23:11 – 27:16). The episode also addresses vitamin D toxicity and excessive supplementation. Toxicity thresholds, elevated circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations, and clinical observations from cattle and camelid species are examined. Furthermore, the panel discusses how different vitamin D metabolites can contribute to both intended physiological responses and unintended consequences when supplementation exceeds biological requirements (27:17 – 35:24). A detailed conversation follows regarding the practical implementation of phosphorus binders in transition cow programs. Drawing from commercial field experiences, Dr. Schwab shares insights regarding dosage recommendations, monitoring strategies, lessons learned, and the potential risks associated with excessive phosphorus restriction. The panel also discusses how phosphorus binders are currently being utilized in commercial settings and where additional research is still needed to better define best practices (35:25 – 46:25). The discussion then broadens beyond dairy cattle to examine phosphorus metabolism across species. Emerging concerns related to phosphorus consumption, kidney health, feline nutrition, and species-specific mechanisms of phosphorus absorption and regulation are explored. These comparisons provide valuable perspective on how findings from companion animal and human nutrition research may help guide future investigations in livestock species (46:26 – 50:53). The episode concludes with reflections from each panelist on the future of vitamin D and mineral nutrition research. The complexity of vitamin D biology is emphasized throughout the discussion, while the need for additional dose-response studies is repeatedly highlighted. Similarly, the value of integrating field observations with mechanistic science is reinforced. Ultimately, continued collaboration among academia, industry, nutritionists, veterinarians, and producers is viewed as essential for advancing nutritional understanding and improving animal health outcomes (50:54 – 56:05).

For the fourth and final installment of our month-long collaboration with the This Day podcast, we go to 2010 and the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision—which enshrined corporate spending as protected speech and unleashed a new era of dark money in American politics. This Day hosts Jody Avirgan, Nicole Hemmer, and Kellie Carter Jackson are joined by Celina Stewart, CEO of the League of Women Voters, to trace how we got here: from the Tillman Act of 1907 through Watergate, the FEC, the McCain-Feingold Act, and the long effort to keep corporate money out of elections. How much of the problem predates Citizens United, and how much did that ruling change everything?

Monday Night Therapy celebrated Nebraska's road victory over Michigan State, with Minnie and Fred breaking down a game that felt much closer and uglier than the final result suggested. Nebraska controlled much of the first half before struggling badly in the third quarter as Michigan State increased the tempo and made adjustments. The Huskers eventually responded, wore down the Spartans, and finished the game by leaning on the running game.The discussion highlighted Nebraska's improving depth, particularly at running back and along the defensive line. North Platte native Vincent Genatone took advantage of his opportunity, while Riley Van Poppel continued making an impact up front. The offensive line also received plenty of praise, especially center Justin Evans for his athleticism and ability to get downfield as a blocker.Minnie and Fred discussed Anthony Colandrea's aggressive running style, Nebraska's injury situation, concerns about special teams, and the team's occasional tendency to come out flat after halftime. Despite Nebraska's unbeaten start, both remained cautious about getting too excited or worrying about rankings and playoff possibilities.Attention then turned toward Maryland, with Nebraska expecting another opponent capable of using tempo. The overall feeling remains cautiously optimistic: Nebraska is showing improved talent, depth, physicality, and an ability to overcome rough stretches and finish games strong.

What does it mean to bear witness to the darkest corners of humanity — and still find light? That's the question Craig D. Forrest has lived with for more than four decades. An award-winning director and documentary filmmaker, he has covered terrorism, voodoo sacrifices, war zones, and cultic practices across more than 100 countries — and says those encounters have deepened rather than diminished his faith. In this conversation, Craig reflects on what it means to tell stories in a changing world, where technology gives almost everyone the power to tell them, but the responsibility for what we choose to tell remains human.Support KAJ Masterclass — help sustain independent editorial work: https://kajmasterclass.com/support =========================================About KAJ Masterclass MediaKAJ Masterclass Media is home to a video-first, live-first, editoriallyindependent conversation ecosystem exploring leadership, business, AI, careers,health, creativity, and the evolving human experience through thoughtful,unscripted conversations grounded in lived experience, clarity, and real-worldinsight.This show is part of the KAJ Masterclass ecosystem, which includes The KAJMasterclass LIVE, The Author's Voice with KAJ, and a growing collection ofeditorially independent conversation platforms.Every conversation is designed to leave you with something meaningful to thinkabout, understand, or apply.

"Send us a message!"Anyone can call themselves an expert. The harder part is proving it.If you're a hairstylist, barber, nail tech, esthetician, or salon owner, you probably already have knowledge your clients are looking for. The question is whether anyone can find it before they sit in your chair.In this episode, we're breaking down something we're actively building at Hello Hair Co.: turning the knowledge already inside our team into useful resources that help clients solve problems, build trust, and choose the right professional for them.We talk about why a website shouldn't only tell people your hours, prices, services, and how to book; why beautiful hair photos aren't always enough to differentiate you; and why simply calling yourself a blonding expert doesn't establish authority.We also dig into the pressure hair pros feel to constantly post, make Reels, chase trends, gain followers, and become content creators—and why we think there's another path.Instead of constantly starting over with the next post or trend, we're focused on building evergreen assets: useful answers to questions clients are already asking that can continue being discovered long after they're published.And we're already seeing it work.Clients have chosen individual hair pros at Hello after reading their articles. Our team is asking to contribute more. And one recent client drove about 30 minutes to Hello after discovering us online and connecting with our commitment to education. You don't need to become an influencer.You need to give people a reason to trust what you know.The Big IdeaAuthority isn't something you call yourself. It's something you demonstrate.Key TakeawaysTreat your staff like professionals if you want them to begin seeing themselves as professionals.Clients aren't always searching for a generic “salon near me.” They're increasingly looking for someone who understands a specific problem or service.Attention isn't the same thing as trust.Great photos can show your work, but they don't necessarily show how you think.Anyone can call themselves an expert. Authority comes from demonstrating what you know.Teach something, explain it simply, help someone make a decision, or solve part of their problem before they ever pay you.Your website shouldn't only explain how someone can do business with you. It should help explain why they should trust you.Build authority around the individual people inside the company, not only the salon brand.Giving staff opportunities to share their expertise can support client growth, professional development, pride, and contribution.Social media can be useful for attention—but likes and followers aren't necessarily business outcomes.You don't need to become an influencer to build a successful clientele.Use attention to move people somewhere they can learn more about you and your expertise.If you don't know what content to create, start with the questions clients ask you repeatedly.Evergreen content compounds. A useful resource can continue being discovered instead of resetting to zero with every new post.Don't chase every trend. Build a growing library of useful information.Generic content isn't enough. Knowledge, personality, experience, and real stories are what differentiate your expertise.Don't create content about something you don't understand. Stick to what you know—or document what you're genuinely learning.Search platforms and AI need useful information to answer people's questions. The strategy isn't to trick them; it's to provide better answers.Build useful things on platforms you control whenever possible. 264 264 264Time Stamps00:00 — Opening Takes02:30 — Train or Fire06:30 — Why we started building Client Resources09:30 — How clients actually choose a salon or hairstylist11:00 — Why calling yourself an expert isn't enough13:00 — What creates trust before the appointment?14:30 — What clients are really looking for in a consultation16:00 — Experience, confidence, and demonstrating authority18:00 — Give away knowledge before someone pays you20:00 — Your website shouldn't just tell people how to book21:00 — Building the authority of your staff—not just the salon22:00 — Why this creates opportunities for your team25:30 — We're already seeing clients choose people because of the content28:00 — A client trusted us before we'd even met30:00 — You don't have to become an influencer32:00 — Attention is useful.

Nebraska moved to 4-0 with a convincing 31-13 road victory over Michigan State, and Greg and Jake broke down an “ugly win” that still showed how far the Huskers have come. Nebraska didn't play its best football, particularly in the running game, but the defense dominated with six sacks, multiple takeaways, excellent tackling, and impressive team speed. Dawson Merritt, Andrew Marshall, Owen Chambliss, Caleb Benning, Jamir Conn, and the Jones duo were among the defenders earning praise.Anthony Colandrea continued to show why he has been such an important addition, throwing for 212 yards and two touchdowns while adding 66 yards rushing. His 44-yard touchdown connection with Kwazi Gilmer highlighted a strong day for Gilmer, who finished with 101 receiving yards. Vincent Genatone also impressed after Jamal Rule left the game, scoring twice and showing surprising versatility and athleticism.The biggest concern remains Nebraska's offense coming out of halftime, where the Huskers continue to look disjointed before eventually finding their rhythm.Attention now turns to Maryland and Nebraska's homecoming game. Despite Maryland possessing talented players, Greg and Jake expressed considerable confidence in Nebraska's physicality, coaching, defense, and quarterback play as the Huskers attempt to remain undefeated before a major matchup with Indiana.

At some point last season, somebody somewhere hatched a plan that has failed spectacularly in regards to the New York Jets offensive line.  For some strange reason, it was viewed as a good idea to significantly downgrade the talent the Jets had at center by moving Joe Tippmann from the pivot to right guard. Moving a young player for a veteran to take his spot is often reserved for instances in which the incoming player would be an improvement at the more important position, but not in this case. Instead of pursuing a right guard via free agency or the draft to upgrade there and leave Tippmann in place, the Jets signed Justin Fields’ college center in Josh Myers.  A somewhat understandable move as the team looked to make Fields as comfortable as possible.  But once the Fields experiment was pronounced dead, it should have meant the end of Myers at center. Now, the Jets’ run game is stuck after a promising opening week against the Titans. In the past two games, Breece Hall has 61 yards on 29 carries. If this pace lasts, the Jets will fail to sustain positive plays and risk becoming one-dimensional. Reinstating Tippmann at center would help. This off-season’s O-line moves by the Jets would limit the impact; they traded up for Omar Cooper and drafted DeAngelo Ponds. An every-down offensive starter should have been the priority. The Jets are stuck with a bad center. He would probably be a bad guard if he swapped with Tippmann. Rookie Anez Cooper was drafted on day three. But if the run game doesn’t improve, two yards per carry won’t cut it. If something changes, it should start in the middle.The post Jets Blunder on OL Isn't Getting Enough Attention appeared first on JetNation.com - New York Jets Blog & Forum.

As we enter the last three months of the year, where is your attention going and does it still deserve to be there?In this episode, we're talking about how to intentionally choose where you place your energy as we move into October and the final quarter of the year.

In this episode Andrea Samadi revisits a 2020 conversation with trainer Jason Wittrock, exploring how movement, recovery, and nutrition interact to support learning, adaptation, and performance. They discuss sustainable eating strategies—like focusing on food quality, experimenting to find what works for you, and using tracking as a short-term tool rather than a lifetime rule. The episode also highlights the power of example: staying consistent with healthy habits even when others resist, trusting the process, and choosing one manageable change to practice until it becomes part of your life. Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we bridge neuroscience, social and emotional learning, and human performance so we can create measurable improvements in our well-being, achievement, leadership, productivity, and results. I'm Andrea Samadi, and if you've been following along through Season 16, you'll know that we have been building what I call The Brain's Operating System for Human Performance—a neuroscience-based framework designed to help us understand how the different systems of the brain and body work together to influence how we learn, adapt, connect, lead, and ultimately perform. Today, we are completing Phase 3: Movement, Learning, and Cognition, where we have been following this central pathway: Movement creates the stimulus. Recovery allows the brain and body to respond. Adaptation is the change that follows. And improved performance is the outcome we are working toward. Throughout this phase, we have explored how movement activates the brain, how exercise primes attention and learning, and how recovery determines our readiness to perform. We have also examined how sleep, cardiovascular fitness, strength, nutrition, and metabolic health influence the way the brain and body adapt over time. For this final episode of Phase 3, we are returning to a conversation that played an important role in my own health journey. Today, we revisit my interview with personal trainer and fitness model Jason Wittrock, who first appeared on this podcast in Episode 94[i] in November 2020. On this episode, we explore: ✔ Why food quality can matter more than rigidly chasing numbers ✔ How hunger and fullness provide useful information ✔ Why tracking should teach us—not control us ✔ How experimentation builds body awareness ✔ Why consistency matters more than short-term perfection ✔ How leading by example can influence others—even when we cannot see it yet I first discovered Jason in late 2016 or early 2017, when I was standing at a crossroads with my health. I knew I needed to make some changes, but I didn't yet know what those changes should look like. I had heard people talking about keto coffee and the potential benefits of a ketogenic diet, including increased energy, greater mental clarity, and weight loss. So, like many people searching for answers, I went to YouTube and typed in, “How do you make keto coffee?” One of Jason Wittrock's[ii] videos appeared. That video became the beginning of a much larger journey for me—one that changed the way I thought about nutrition, energy, exercise, and metabolic health. What made Jason stand out wasn't only the information he shared. It was the intention behind it. He would speak quickly and enthusiastically about what he was doing, what he was eating, and why—and then he would say something simple: “Hey, I'm just trying to help.” And I believed him. Jason also emphasized something that has remained with me ever since: it isn't enough to follow a diet or health plan for 30 or 45 days. If we want lasting results, the changes must become part of the way we live. That message stuck—all these years later. I began making keto coffee, experimenting with new foods, learning what macronutrients were, and discovering what worked best for me. I began paying much closer attention to how nutrition affected my energy, mental clarity, and physical performance. I still make the occasional keto coffee and have MCT Oil next to the blender, and Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter in the fridge. ‘ What started with one YouTube video became part of a much broader investigation into the habits that support brain health, my metabolic health, as well as longevity. And this is exactly why Jason's work belongs at the conclusion of Phase 3. Movement is a powerful signal—but the body does not adapt to movement in isolation. Adaptation is also shaped by how we fuel the body, regulate blood sugar, support metabolic flexibility, sleep, recover, and repeat our habits consistently over time. Exercise, nutrition, sleep, fasting, and recovery are not completely separate health strategies. They are interacting signals that tell the brain and body how to respond, rebuild, and perform. As we revisit this interview, you'll hear some of my questions from the earlier years of my health journey. Science continues to evolve, and so have many of my habits and perspectives. But the central lesson remains highly relevant: Lasting change rarely begins with having every answer. Sometimes, it begins with one trusted voice, one new idea, and the willingness to take the first step. Almost six years after recording this interview, I can say that I still trust Jason's guidance on nutrition. As I reviewed these clips, they almost brought tears to my eyes because I could see how accurately his words predicted what would unfold years later. It was almost as if he were saying, “Keep going. Trust the process.” And when I look at the lasting changes in my own life and family, I can now see what he meant. CLIP 1: ESCAPING THE CAGE OF CONSTANT TRACKING In Clip 1, (click to watch VIDEO clip)  Jason challenges the idea that we need a perfect calorie target or precise macronutrient formula to improve our health. He explains that nutritional needs vary from one person to another—and even from one day to the next. This makes it difficult for an online calculator or outside expert to determine exactly what an individual body needs at every moment. From Jason's perspective, one potential benefit of a well-formulated ketogenic diet is that it may help some people experience steadier energy, fewer cravings, and greater awareness of their natural hunger and fullness cues. Instead of constantly counting calories or tracking every gram of protein, fat, and carbohydrate, he encourages people to begin with the quality of the foods they eat and then observe how their bodies respond. Jason uses the image of a lion in the wild compared with a lion in a cage. The lion in the wild responds naturally to hunger and fullness. The lion in the cage represents someone constrained by spreadsheets, calorie targets, and rigid food rules. His central message is that nutrition should be sustainable enough to support your life—not so complicated that tracking the plan becomes your life. KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM CLIP 1 There is no single perfect formula for everyone. Calorie and macronutrient recommendations are estimates. Individual needs vary according to activity, sleep, stress, health, body composition, personal goals, and many other factors. When I first watched one of Jason's “What I Eat in a Day” videos, it gave me a starting point. At that time, I didn't really know what to prepare for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I ate healthy foods, rarely ate sugar, but knew I could improve with what I was using as energy. Jason's meals gave me a basic framework. From there, I adjusted the foods and portions to make his approach work for me. If you want to see a more recent video of what he eats in a day, you can visit his Instagram[iii] page. Food quality matters. Jason recommends beginning with nutrient-dense, minimally processed foods rather than focusing exclusively on calories or macronutrient percentages. This was a huge paradigm shift for me. At the time, I could tell you the calorie count of almost any food. But after listening to Jason, I stopped thinking only about calories in and calories burned. Instead, I began noticing which foods left me feeling satisfied, energized, and full. Hunger and fullness provide useful information. Learning to recognize physical hunger, satisfaction after eating, cravings, changes in energy, and fullness can help us understand how different foods affect us. This was another eye-opener for me. I began experimenting with intermittent fasting and eating within a defined window. This practice helped me learn what hunger actually felt like without immediately becoming afraid of it. With time, my body became more accustomed to recognizing hunger cues and waiting until it was time to eat. This became useful when I was traveling. If I couldn't find a restaurant or food choice that worked for me, I learned that I could wait rather than eat something simply because I was uncomfortable with feeling hungry. I also learned that drinking water could sometimes help that hunger feeling to feeling pass. Tracking can be helpful—but it is only a tool. Tracking may help someone understand portions, macronutrients, (how much protein, carbs or fats are in a certain food) or eating patterns. But when tracking becomes rigid, stressful, or obsessive, it can make a healthy lifestyle more difficult to sustain. I used an app to track my carbohydrates, proteins, and fats during the first few months. Once I understood what worked for me and found meals I could repeat, I no longer needed the tracker. The tracking served its purpose: it taught me something. But it didn't need to control me indefinitely. Experimentation builds self-awareness. Instead of blindly following someone else's formula, Jason encourages us to test different foods and routines while paying attention to our energy, appetite, mood, sleep, and performance. I liked Jason's food choices, so I used many of his meals as a starting point and adjusted the portions for my own body and needs. Sustainability (the long-term vision) matters more than short-term perfection. The most effective nutritional approach is one that supports your health while remaining realistic enough to continue over time. I had always believed that I ate healthy foods, but I didn't fully understand how to build meals that worked for me until I began following Jason's work. His guidance helped me move from generally trying to “eat healthy” to understanding how specific choices affected my energy, focus, and performance. Now I know what breakfast foods work best for me when I have a long day, without access to food, and what refuels me after a long hike, as well as what helps me to wind down before sleep. The goal is greater freedom—not another cage. Jason's lion metaphor reminds us that a nutrition plan should help us reconnect with our bodies rather than make us feel controlled by numbers, rules, and spreadsheets. Once we learn what works for us, it becomes easier to stay on track without constantly measuring everything. I still eat many of the same foods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My youngest daughter has now discovered the meals that work best for her and has become an excellent cook who prepares her own food every week. There is still one person in our house who insists he will never change the way he eats. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he might try the carrots and celery I have ready to go--someday. HOW CAN WE PUT THE IDEAS FROM CLIP 1 INTO PRACTICE? First, begin by improving the quality of one meal each day. Build it around minimally processed foods that include some protein, healthy fat, fiber, and vegetables that are appropriate for your chosen nutritional approach. Like me, once you connect with someone you trust, you can learn from them. Second, pause before eating and ask yourself: Am I physically hungry, or am I responding to stress, habit, boredom, or simply the availability of food? This concept is still important for me. I sometimes reach for a snack when I'm stressed or rushing. In those moments, I can pause and consider whether a glass of water—or a few quiet minutes—would meet the real need more effectively. Third, slow down while eating. Give your brain and body enough time to recognize satisfaction. Halfway through the meal, pause and notice whether you are still hungry, comfortably satisfied, or already full. Bob Proctor, who has appeared often throughout this podcast, used to say often: “Do you taste your food?” Are you eating slowly and mindfully enough to notice how your food actually tastes? I noticed something interesting recently while eating at a steak restaurant. I had removed alcohol from my diet at the beginning of August after realizing that I didn't really enjoy it. After the first month, I began noticing that I could taste food differently. At this restaurant, I experienced the flavor of shrimp cocktail in an entirely new way. That is a story for another episode, but it reminded me that when we slow down and pay attention, we may notice something we have missed before. Fourth, observe how different meals affect you. Notice your energy, cravings, mood, focus, digestion, exercise performance, and hunger during the hours that follow. Fifth, experiment with one change at a time. If you change everything at the same time, it becomes hard to identify which food or habit produced the result. Sixth, use numbers selectively. Tracking your food for a short period can provide useful information, but it does not need to become a permanent requirement. Let the data teach you rather than control you. Seventh, remember that ketosis (or intermittent fasting) is not the only path to understanding your appetite or metabolic health. Some people feel better following a ketogenic approach, while others do well with a balanced diet that includes high-quality carbohydrates. The important question is whether the approach is safe, nourishing, sustainable, and effective for you. Finally, if you take medication or have diabetes or concerns involving your kidneys, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, cardiovascular health, or eating behaviors, speak with a qualified healthcare professional before beginning a ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting, or another significant dietary change. The goal is not to copy someone else's perfect formula. The goal is to gather information, listen carefully to your body, and gradually uncover the nutritional approach that helps you feel and perform at your best. CLIP 2: PUSHING THROUGH THE BACKLASH In Clip 2, (click the link to watch the video clip) Jason and I discuss one of the most difficult parts of creating a healthy lifestyle: continuing to make intentional choices when the people around us do not understand or support what we are doing. I described the challenge of teaching my daughters healthy eating habits while they watched their friends eat fast food and sugary foods. As a parent, it can feel as though you are the “bad guy” when you establish boundaries or offer healthier choices that your children do not yet appreciate. Jason explained that these lessons might not make sense to them when they are young, because eating well did not feel necessary to them at that stage of their lives. They really want to fit in. But that did not mean they weren't paying attention. His message was to keep leading by example. The people around us may resist our choices, criticize us, or even think we are being extreme—but they are still watching. When improving their own health eventually becomes important or necessary, they may remember the habits, choices, and lessons they witnessed. The main idea is simple but powerful: Push through the immediate backlash, because the example you set today may become someone else's roadmap tomorrow. KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM CLIP 2 People may resist what they do not yet need—or what they did not choose. Health advice can seem unnecessary to someone who has not experienced a problem, consequence, or don't have a personal desire to change. We each need to arrive at the point where we want the change for ourselves. Resistance does not mean your example is being ignored. People may question your choices while quietly observing your consistency, discipline, and results. When Jason predicted that I would notice the effects of my healthy eating choices years later, I had no idea how accurate he would be. Years after this interview, my youngest daughter now meal-preps. She is a wonderful cook, and I can learn from the foods she prepares each week. My oldest daughter (also meal preps) and thanked me for not making junk food and fast food a normal part of their childhood. They definitely ate some of these foods when they grew older, but they were grateful that those foods had not formed the foundation of what they ate when they were young. I'll never forget when she said “Hey Mom, thanks for making us eat healthy when we were little.” I remember being shocked—and grateful—that I had stayed true to what I believed was right. At the time, I sometimes wondered whether I was depriving them of experiences their friends enjoyed. People thought I was from a different planet when I told them I had never bought fast food for the kids. Years later, I could see that my example had made an impact, even when there was little evidence of it in the moment in those early years. Timing matters. We cannot force another person to change before they are ready. But we can make sure that helpful information and a positive example are available when their moment arrives. Leading by example can be more powerful than lecturing. Consistently demonstrating healthy habits gives other people a practical model they can use later. Children absorb more than they appear to. Even when children complain about boundaries we give them, or reject healthy choices, they are still learning what their family values and what healthy behavior looks like. Backlash is not necessarily evidence that you are doing something wrong. Making a change can disrupt established family or social patterns. Resistance may simply reflect that the new behavior is unfamiliar or that it challenges what others are accustomed to doing. Consistency creates a future roadmap. When health becomes personally meaningful to the people watching us, they may remember the lessons they once resisted and finally know where to begin. HOW CAN WE IMPLEMENT THE IDEAS FROM CLIP 2? First, connect your choices to a clear personal reason. When you understand why you are exercising, eating differently, or protecting your health, other people's opinions are less likely to pull you off course. For me, these habits help me think more clearly and feel better. They also allow me to take greater ownership of my energy and performance. Second, expect some resistance. When you change a familiar pattern, the people around you may feel confused, defensive, or inconvenienced. Prepare for that response without automatically interpreting it as failure. Third, be yourself instead of constantly trying to persuade other people. Continue preparing healthy meals, exercising, recovering, and making intentional choices. Allow others to observe your consistency, energy, and results. Fourth, share with others your results, but don't expect them to join you. You can explain why a choice matters to you while giving other people the time and space to make their own decisions. Fifth, avoid turning food into a battle—especially with children. Provide healthy options, explain their purpose (food as fuel) and allow some flexibility. This took me some time. When our girls were teenagers, I eventually took them through a fast food window, but made them place their own order. Sixth, focus on what you can control. You cannot control whether someone follows your example. You can control the example you provide. Seventh, recognize small signs of influence. Someone asking a question, trying one healthy food, joining you for a walk, or remembering something you said may be enough evidence that the lesson has made an impact on them. Eating was one area where I eventually saw that I had influenced my immediate family—but it took years for that influence to become visible. Exercise was another. I have always been a regular hiker, and I took my daughters onto the trails almost as soon as they were old enough to go outside with me. For years, we hiked Camelback Mountain together during their spring break. Then one day, they came to me and said, “We aren't going hiking anymore.” When I asked why, they told me that there was almost nothing they hated more than hiking. I wasn't upset about their choice to boycott the trails. I could hike or run on my own, which I often preferred. But I wondered why they didn't enjoy the mountains or being outside. Years later, my oldest daughter began hiking with her friends and asked whether she could buy a pair of hiking shoes. I wanted to ask, “Why? I thought you hated hiking.” But I realized that all those years on the trails had not been wasted. She had been taking in the experience. She simply wanted to experience the trails with her friends as a teenager—and that made complete sense. This brings us back to Jason's central message: The people around you are taking notes. They may not use those notes today. But when change becomes relevant or necessary, your example may help them know where to begin. Push through the backlash—not by arguing with others, but by staying steady enough for your actions to speak loud and clear for you. REVIEW AND CONCLUSION To review and conclude Episode 407, Jason Wittrock's message gives us two important lessons. The first is about learning to listen to our own bodies. Jason encourages us to move away from the belief that one perfect formula, calorie target, or macronutrient ratio will work for everyone. Tracking can teach us valuable information, especially in the beginning. But the goal is not to remain trapped inside a spreadsheet. The goal is to use what we learn to recognize the foods and habits that help us feel nourished, satisfied, energized, and capable of performing at our best. Begin with food quality. Notice your hunger and fullness cues. Observe your energy, focus, mood, digestion, and physical performance. Experiment carefully. Let the data inform you without allowing it to control you. Jason's second lesson is about the influence of our example. When we change our habits, not everyone around us will understand. Some people may question our choices. Others may resist them. Our children, partners, friends, or colleagues may not see the value in what we are doing because the need for change has not yet become personal to them. But they are still taking notes. This may be the most meaningful part of revisiting this interview almost six years later. At the time, I could not see whether the choices I was making were influencing my family. I could only continue doing what I believed was right. Years later, the evidence appeared. My daughters remembered. They began making some of those choices for themselves—not because I forced them to, but because the example was available when they were ready to use it. This brings us back to the central pathway of Phase 3: Movement creates the stimulus. Recovery creates the capacity to respond. Adaptation is the change that follows. And improved performance is the result. But this episode reminds us that movement is only one of the signals shaping adaptation. Nutrition matters. Sleep matters. Recovery matters. Consistency matters. And the environments and examples surrounding us matter. In a HUGE way! The brain and body adapt to what we repeatedly do—not merely to what we intend to do occasionally. If there is one action I hope you take from this episode, it is to choose one habit you can practice consistently enough for it to become part of who you are. It might be improving one meal. It might be slowing down and tasting your food. It might be paying attention to genuine hunger and fullness. It might be drinking water instead of automatically reaching for a snack. It might be walking, strength training, sleeping longer, or giving your body the recovery it needs to adapt. Choose one action. Observe how your body responds. Adjust what does not work. And repeat what does. This is how we move from information to implementation—and from implementation to adaptation. I'll also connect this episode to a couple others that were important at the time I interviewed Jason. EP 51[iv] was with Kelly Schmidt, my own athletic trainer who taught me how to meal prep. EP 90[v] was focused on health and wellness with Luke DePron, who was the fitness trainer who taught me to always have celery and carrots in the fridge. EP 160[vi] was with Chrissy Barth, a Functional Sports Registered Dietician who offered some great advice for fueling athletes. Many of the interviews in 2020 were focused on health and wellness and are great places to review. Health and wellness does go through different phases, but many of them remain constant. Exercise and eating healthy never goes out of style. As we bring today's conversation to a close, we are not quite finished with Phase 3. Before we move forward, we have one final step: integration. Our next Episode 408, From Movement to Performance: What We Learned About Building Capacity, we will bring together the major ideas we have explored throughout Phase 3: Movement, Learning, and Cognition. We'll examine how movement prepares the brain to learn, how attention opens the gate to encoding, how recovery allows adaptation to occur, and how our daily habits influence our long-term capacity to learn, perform, and remain healthy. Episode 408 will help us connect these individual pieces into one complete pathway: Movement creates readiness. Readiness supports attention. Attention opens the gate to learning. Recovery enables adaptation. And adaptation builds the capacity for sustained performance. With that final integration, we will bring Phase 3 to a close—and prepare to take the next step in our journey. Because human performance does not happen in isolation. Once we have strengthened our individual capacity—our ability to move, focus, learn, recover, and adapt—we must ask what happens when that brain and body encounter another person. How do we perceive someone else? How does that perception create an affective response within the body? How do those internal signals become emotions? And how do those emotions influence trust, communication, connection, belonging, leadership, and performance? That is where we are going in Phase 4: Perception, Emotion, and Social Intelligence. We will follow a new pathway: Perception leads to affect. Affect contributes to emotion. Emotion influences mindsight. Mindsight shapes relationships. And relationships create—or disrupt—the belonging and psychological safety required for people to learn, lead, and perform at their best. Phase 3 has helped us understand how to build the capacity of the individual brain and body. Phase 4 will ask what happens when that brain and body enter a relationship with another human being. Because we do not simply respond to the world as it is. We respond to the world as we perceive it. And that perception shapes nearly everything that follows. Thank you for continuing this journey with me. I'll see you next time for our final Phase 3 integration episode, From Movement to Performance: What We Learned About Building Capacity—before we begin Phase 4 and explore how perception shapes our emotions, our relationships, and the impact we create in the world.
