Dr. Ja-Nae Duane is a behavioral scientist, entrepreneur, award-winning innovator and author of the new book, “SuperShifts: Transforming How We Live, Learn, and Work in the Age of Intelligence”. Mike Petrusky asks Ja-Nae about the book in which she and her co-author, futurist Steve Fisher, deliver an incisive overview of how we are at the end of one 200-year arc and embarking on another. Mike and Ja-Nae discuss the new age of intelligence and the various catalysts for change currently affecting individuals, businesses, and society. They explore specific areas impacting our workplaces and built environment which are evolving from centralized, industrial models to more flexible, intelligent ecosystems, driven by AI and technological advancements. Ja-Nae says the lines between physical and digital realities are blurring, leading to the concept of "reality remix" where buildings can become cognitive ecosystems with digital twins and AI-assisted amenities, but human connection remains vital for our mental health and well-being, so facility management leaders will continue to have a big role to play as we move ahead. Upskilling in data and AI literacy, as well as human-centered design, will be essential for futureproofing the workplace, so Mike and Ja-Nae offer the encouragement and inspiration you will need to be a Workplace Innovator in your organization!

Why rehearsal, timing, and delivery shape your reputation as a professional speaker in Japan and beyond Why is timing so critical in business presentations? The single biggest mistake in presentations is poor time control. In Japan and globally, conference organisers run tight schedules. Going overtime is seen as disrespectful and unprofessional. Conversely, trying to squeeze too much content into too little time leaves the audience frustrated and overwhelmed. Leaders at firms like Toyota or Rakuten expect speakers to stay on time, not sprint through slides like “deranged people.” A presentation that runs forty minutes when you had an hour is forgivable; a talk that overruns its slot is not. Mini-Summary: Time discipline in presentations signals professionalism. Overrunning damages your personal brand and your company's credibility in Japan's business culture. What happens when speakers mismanage time? When a presenter announces, “I'll need to move quickly,” they reveal poor preparation. Audiences infer: if you can't plan a forty-minute talk into forty minutes, how can you manage a multimillion-dollar project? Reputation damage extends beyond the individual to the entire organisation. In competitive markets like Japan, the US, and Europe, this kind of slip erodes trust and can cost business opportunities. Mini-Summary: Rushed, overloaded talks erode trust. Stakeholders extrapolate poor time discipline to the presenter's overall competence. Why do rehearsals matter more than you think? Most leaders convince themselves they “don't have time” to rehearse. Yet rehearsal is where professionals discover misalignment between content and allocated time. In my experience delivering Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training programmes, presenters nearly always start with too much material, not too little. The solution is cutting ruthlessly before stepping on stage. Rehearsals let you refine, simplify, and focus on impact — rather than embarrass yourself with speed-reading slides in public. Mini-Summary: Rehearsals reveal excess material and allow refinement. Skipping practice causes rushed, incoherent delivery that undermines executive presence. How does rehearsal improve delivery, not just timing? Once timing is fixed, rehearsal shifts to performance. Business presentations are performances — polished but authentic, not theatrical. Leaders who read from a script signal insecurity and lack of mastery. Rehearsal allows executives to internalise their key points, so the audience sees confidence, not desperation. In Tokyo boardrooms and at global investor conferences alike, polished delivery builds gravitas and trust. Mini-Summary: Rehearsal ensures smooth delivery. Executives should appear confident and persuasive, not reliant on scripts. What role does video feedback play? In training rooms, we record participants so they can see what the audience sees. Video feedback is humbling but invaluable. You catch distracting habits, vocal weaknesses, or pacing errors you'd otherwise miss. Replaying live presentations helps refine delivery across markets. Whether speaking to Japanese stakeholders or Western boards, professionals who rehearse, review, and improve demonstrate credibility. Mini-Summary: Video feedback exposes blind spots. Reviewing performances builds stronger delivery across diverse business cultures. What is the ultimate standard of professionalism? True professionals prepare, rehearse, review, and deliver within time. They treat every presentation — whether to staff, shareholders, or industry peers — as a performance shaping their reputation. In Japan's high-context culture, small lapses in timing or preparation send big signals. Internationally, executives with strong presence are trusted to lead. Are you seen as a polished professional, or as someone who exposes flaws by failing to rehearse? Mini-Summary: Professionalism in presentations means mastering timing, rehearsing delivery, and safeguarding your reputation. Conclusion Getting the timing right is not about clocks — it is about credibility. Leaders who rehearse, respect the schedule, and refine delivery project authority in every market. Those who don't risk reputational damage far greater than the value of any single presentation slot.

There are numerous social and structural vectors for disease that are not often discussed in medical school. So, Dr. David Ansell says he had a lot to learn once he became a physician. Ansell, author of “The Death Gap: How Inequality Kills,” writes about the stark disparities in access to treatment and outcomes for patients in the U.S. healthcare system. “We always talk about inequities. We have frank inequities, but we have gross inequalities,” Ansell says. “The care isn't equal… And if we could get to equal, then we can take on the inequity.” One of the most glaring examples is life expectancy; a person's zip code can be a strong predictor for their life expectancy due to social and structural determinants of health, including structural racism and economic deprivation, he says.  “If you live in The Loop in Chicago, you can live to be 85 and if it were a country, it'd be ranked first in the world,” Ansell says. “But if you live in Garfield Park, three stops down the Blue Line from Rush, life expectancy post-Covid is 66.” In this conversation, which was first published in 2023 for the Health Disparities podcast, Dr. Ansell speaks with Movement Is Life's Dr. Carla Harwell about the importance of addressing systemic racism and inequality in the healthcare system.

Why leaders must nurture ideas if they want innovation to thrive in Japan People are more creative than they give themselves credit for, yet many work environments suppress rather than encourage innovation. Brainstorming sessions often produce nothing but wasted calendar space, or worse, good ideas that die on arrival because no one champions them. In Japan and globally, corporate graveyards are filled with unrealised concepts. Leaders must understand that creativity is not a one-off spark—it's a journey that requires cultivation, sponsorship, and careful timing. Why do so many good ideas die inside companies? Most ideas never make it past the brainstorming stage. Either nothing actionable emerges, or promising suggestions are quietly buried. Even in companies with innovation-friendly cultures, ideas face hurdles before they can be applied. Lack of sponsorship, risk aversion, and overloaded leadership pipelines kill innovation before it matures. In Japan, this is amplified by hierarchical decision-making. Ideas often stall before reaching senior management because middle managers, stretched thin and politically cautious, block their path. Without a system to shepherd ideas upward, they disappear. Mini-Summary: Good ideas often fail because they lack sponsorship, timing, or pathways upward—especially in Japan's hierarchical organisations. Where do creative ideas come from? Ideas start with individuals. Inspiration can come from anywhere—external networks, professional communities, or day-to-day frustrations. The broader an employee's networks, the higher the likelihood of fresh sparks. The problem is engagement. In Japan, only about 5–7% of employees rank as “highly engaged” in surveys. That means most staff aren't motivated to generate or push ideas. Without engagement, even the most creative sparks fizzle. Leaders must connect daily work to purpose so employees see why innovation matters. Mini-Summary: Creative ideas emerge from individuals with broad networks and high engagement—but in Japan, low engagement is a major innovation barrier. How can leaders cultivate employee ideas? Cultivation requires more than slogans about innovation. Leaders must make purpose explicit, encourage risk-taking, and reward those who step outside comfort zones. If junior staff can't articulate the company's “why,” their ideas will lack direction. In Japan, where conformity often trumps experimentation, leaders must show daily that trying new things is safe. Recognising effort, even when ideas fail, builds confidence. The way leaders treat innovators—successes and failures alike—sets the tone for the whole organisation. Mini-Summary: Leaders cultivate ideas by clarifying purpose, rewarding risk-taking, and encouraging experimentation—even in failure. Why do smart ideas need sponsors and champions? Ideas rarely succeed alone. They need collaborators to refine them and sponsors to promote them. Expecting to walk straight into a boardroom with a raw idea is unrealistic. Allies, mentors, and champions must first shepherd it through the system. In Japanese firms, where harmony is prized, ideas must often be “harmonised” at lower levels before reaching executives. Champions play a critical role in ensuring promising concepts aren't lost to politics or hierarchy. Mini-Summary: Ideas need allies and champions to survive the political journey inside companies, especially in hierarchical Japan. How does timing affect idea success? Even brilliant ideas fail if introduced at the wrong time. Microsoft famously launched its Tablet PC years before the iPad, and its SPOT Watch long before the Apple Watch. Both flopped, not because the ideas were bad, but because the market wasn't ready. In Japan, timing is especially crucial when companies face cost-cutting or conservative leadership cycles. Innovation requires resources—time, talent, and money—which are scarce during downturns. Leaders must align idea introduction with corporate readiness. Mini-Summary: Timing can make or break ideas—introduce them too early or in the wrong climate, and they will fail regardless of quality. What systems help ideas travel upward? Without an “express lane” for good ideas, most are trapped in corporate silos. Middle managers, often protective of their turf, can stall innovation. Creating formal pathways that allow vetted ideas to reach senior leaders quickly is essential. Some global companies use innovation labs or dedicated sponsorship committees to fast-track ideas. In Japan, establishing such systems prevents good ideas from being smothered by bureaucracy or politics. Leaders who create express lanes differentiate themselves and unlock competitive advantage. Mini-Summary: Formal “express lanes” help promising ideas bypass bureaucracy and reach top decision-makers, ensuring innovation isn't lost. Conclusion The creative idea journey within companies is long and fraught with obstacles. Ideas require engaged employees, cultivation, sponsorship, careful timing, and systems that allow them to travel upward. In Japan's conservative corporate culture, leaders must work even harder to ensure innovation isn't stifled by hierarchy or risk aversion. The true white-collar crime of leadership is failing to apply ideas that could have transformed the business.

Why mastering client conversations in Japan defines long-term sales success When salespeople meet new clients, the first few minutes set the tone for everything that follows. This “transition zone” between pleasantries and serious discussion is where trust is either built—or broken. Let's explore how professionals in Japan and globally can own this crucial phase. Why is the sales transition zone so critical? The sales transition zone is the moment when the buyer and seller move from small talk into business. For the client, the first question is usually, “How much will this cost me?”. For the salesperson, the focus is on proving value beyond price. Unless this gap is bridged quickly, the conversation can collapse into a price war. In Japan, where relationship-building and long-term trust are prized, handling this transition with sensitivity is even more critical than in the US or Europe. Western executives may prefer blunt efficiency—“Let's get straight to business”—but Japanese buyers expect context, respect, and subtlety. Mini-Summary: The transition zone is where price-driven client expectations collide with value-focused sales strategy. Mastering it determines whether the meeting builds trust or breaks down. How should salespeople frame the meeting agenda? After greetings, professionals should set a clear agenda that shows respect for the client's time. For example: “I appreciate Suzuki-san introducing us. She felt there may be mutual benefit, so today I'd like to explore how our solutions may support your business. I also want to better understand your needs and see if there's a fit. Are there other items you'd like to cover?” This framing balances structure with flexibility. It prevents the client from feeling “sold to” while subtly keeping control of the meeting. Across industries—from pharmaceuticals to IT services—Japanese clients respond positively when they feel their input is requested early. Mini-Summary: Outlining a flexible agenda signals professionalism and respect, while keeping the salesperson in control of the meeting flow. How can unique selling propositions (USPs) be introduced naturally? Clients don't want a corporate brochure; they want proof of relevance. Introduce USPs in a conversational way: “We are global soft-skills training experts, here since 1963, specialising in sales training in Japan.” This single sentence embeds four powerful points: global scope, world best practice, 60 years of Japanese experience, and local market adaptation. Companies like Toyota, Rakuten, and Fujitsu look for vendors who demonstrate both international credibility and deep domestic roots. Mini-Summary: Well-crafted introductions should deliver layered USPs that combine global credibility, local experience, and proven relevance. How can salespeople prove credibility with results? Proof must be concrete, relevant, and measurable. For example: “Recently we trained a company in your industry. Salesperson confidence rose 40%, and revenues increased 18% within six months.” This approach works across sectors—manufacturing, finance, and consumer goods—because executives trust comparative results. But credibility evaporates if numbers are exaggerated. In Japan, where long-term relationships matter, any suspicion of dishonesty ends future business. Mini-Summary: Share specific, industry-relevant metrics to prove impact. Honesty is non-negotiable if you want repeat business in Japan. How do you smoothly shift to client questioning? Once credibility is established, invite permission to ask questions: “I don't know if we could achieve the same results for you, but may I ask a few questions to better understand your situation?” This low-pressure approach keeps the salesperson in control while respecting the client's space. It allows for uncovering challenges—talent gaps, process inefficiencies, competitive threats—without triggering defensiveness. Japanese executives particularly value humility paired with competence. Mini-Summary: The best transition uses respectful permission to shift into diagnostic questioning, creating trust and revealing real client needs. What if you discover you can't help the client? Not every prospect is a fit. Forcing a solution damages reputation. Instead, tell the client: “This may not be the right match.” This honesty preserves brand integrity. In Japan's tight-knit business networks, reputation compounds: one display of integrity can open doors elsewhere. Global comparisons support this: US firms often admire aggressiveness in sales, but in Japan, restraint builds credibility. Long-term success comes not from a single deal, but from a portfolio of reorders, referrals, and reputation. Mini-Summary: Walking away respectfully when there is no fit strengthens credibility and ensures long-term opportunities in Japan's relationship-driven market. Conclusion Owning the sales transition zone means balancing confidence with humility, structure with flexibility, and proof with empathy. Salespeople who master this moment avoid premature price talk, build credibility through structured storytelling, and earn the right to ask deeper questions. Ultimately, success is not about one transaction but about sustaining long-term partnerships in Japan's trust-based business culture.

Wellness Rising from the Wellness House of Annapolis welcomes Palliative Care Physician and Author Dr. Delia Chiaramonte, who writes about why some people with cancer and their families cope better with the rigors of the disease than others.

This week on the Tuesday People Podcast, Mitch Albom is joined by America's Gerontologist, Dr. Kerry Burnight—also known to her many followers as “Dr. Kerry”—to talk about her groundbreaking new book, JOYSPAN: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half. Tired of the fear-based messages around aging, Dr. Kerry offers a radical, optimistic shift: it's not just about how long you live, but how well you live. With insights drawn from science, her decades of experience, and her 95-year-old mother Betty, Dr. Kerry introduces the concept of “joyspan”—a measure of purpose, peace, and connection that adds real meaning to our later years. Whether you're navigating your own journey or supporting a loved one, this conversation is filled with practical tools, fresh perspective, and the empowering reminder that aging isn't "less than," it's more.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Dorothy was the eldest of two children. Her younger brother was well taken care of and able to continue on to higher education, mainly because he was male and in that era, women didn't really pursue higher education because culturally, that wasn't the norm.  Women's place was in the home and raising the children.One of the many things that my guest admired about her mother was that she opened up her own Children's Clothing store. Gertrude loved seeing her mom running a business that she was truly good at and enjoyed. Gertrude loved seeing a different side of her mother's personality, outside the home vs inside the home.Unfortunately, the store only lasted so long because of Gertrude's father's wishes. Yes, he was supportive but only up to a certain point. He also gave Dorothy an ultimatum and Dorothy agreed and made some very difficult choices that very same day and never broke her promise.  The couple did not have a particularly close relationship. Gertrude's dad worked and provided for the family and the two remained married for 27 years.You will hear Gertrude share stories of the secrets her mother kept her entire life. Gertrude is so impressed and bewildered by her mother's ability to keep all of these compelling stories to herself and still be a mother, raise her children, run her own  business and then continue on with another career working as an office secretary for the railroad in Detroit. One of the many wonderful philosophies my guest believes in is that she believes that she chose her mother for "my soul's development."  In other words, she continues, "my soul had reasoning and she was the perfect mother for me. We are together for a reason, admits Dr. Lyons.Gertrude also shares stories of the process of writing her book as well as being brave when coming to choosing the title of her book, etc.About The BookIn Rewrite the Mother Code, Dr. Gertrude Lyons challenges the limiting beliefs and expands the concepts around what it is to be a mother. Through the pages of this book, Lyons blurs the lines that pigeonhole women into limited roles that ultimately disempower them. Rather than operating within a narrow conception of what mothering is, she invites readers to open themselves up to what is possible and see the truth: that all women mother, and that mother energy is accessible to all of us-including men. Rewrite the Mother Code is a celebration of motherhood, bringing spirituality and community back into the experience and empowering women to be what they truly are, the ultimate creators.What it would be like if it was a commonly held tradition for the wise women in our Western culture to support women through the mothering process? What if children were raised by the community and not the isolated responsibility of one or two caregivers? What if all women were united as mothers and gave their full support to each other's mothering choices? Rewrite the Mother Code not only envisions this world of conscious conception, pregnancy, and motherhood, but it also takes the reader into a movement that fulfills the ideals of a matriarchal-led mothering experience.These ideals can open the doors for women to not only take part in the abundance of the world, but also make sure everyone else experiences it. Rewrite the Mother Code explores a world in which mothers feel valued and intrinsically aware that fostering their well-being is the keystone for conscious and harmonious living on earth—a world where there are enough resources for everyone, all life is valued, and decisions are made with everyone's best interests in mind, not just a few. It's a world where mothers are revered for their abilities to create (even ones without their own children, who journey through motherhood in many creative ways), a place where we can tap into our intuition and truly follow it.Rewrite the Mother Code blurs the lines that pigeonhole women into limited roles that ultimately disempower them. Rather than operating with a narrow conception of what mothering is, it invites you to open yourself up to what is possible when you realize that all women mother, and that mother energy is accessible to all of us—including men.In Rewrite the Mother Code, Dr. Gertrude Lyons shares her vast expertise, using her doctoral degree in education, combined with her degrees in psychology, transformational leadership, and her two decades as a coach for families, couples, and individuals. She has traveled the world and had spiritual experiences across the globe, which she brings into her work and writing.Each chapter of Rewrite the Mother Code has thoughtfully tailored reflections, meditations, and rituals to help women get in touch with their innate mother wisdom and strength. This book is a ceremony and celebration of all forms of motherhood, one that collectively births a new revolution of empowered and embodied living.SOCIAL MEDIA LINKSInstagram:LINKEDIN:Gertrude Lyons, MA, EdD, PCCView Gertrude Lyons, MA, EdD, PCC's profileYOUTUBE:https://www.youtube.com/@rewritethemothercodeWEBSITE:DrGertrudeLyons.comGENERAL TOPIC:              Reshaping Mom Myths and Reparenting OurselvesFREE RESOURCE:            Sign up for her mailing list and Order her book  "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Meniscus tears can be confusing. They can occur with trauma or not, they come in a variety of shapes and locations which can influence treatment options and outcomes profoundly, and the right treatment remains a matter of great debate. The literature is likewise confusing, and historically has been heterogeneous. Dr. Benjamin MA, MD, PhD from the famed UCSF joins us to discuss an international multi-society expert panel he took part in to generate consensus statements regarding meniscus tear treatment. The consensus statements give all of us in the Sports Medicine world some guidance and reassurance for our approach to this seemingly simple structure, the meniscus, that, when torn, is full of complexities.

I share my personal journey with meditation, affirmations, and the law of assumption, emphasizing that while manifestation is powerful, it must be paired with hard work. I believe that true success comes from a combination of believing in yourself and putting in the effort to achieve your goals. I also touch on the significance of physical fitness, sharing my love for walking and how it enhances my cognitive abilities. Plus, I discuss the books and podcasts that inspire me, including works by Tim Ferriss and Jordan Peterson. Remember, the key to growth is maintaining a mindset of continuous learning.

Host Ruben Britt from the Rowan University Office of Career Advancement speaks to historian, writer, educator, legal scholar, and award-winning author Dr. Martha S. Jones, who discusses her career tourney and her latest book "The Trouble of Color: An American Family Memoir".

Welcome to the DMF! I'm Justin Younts, and today I'm diving into the world of acting techniques that can elevate your performance. Have you ever wondered how to bring depth to a single line? It's all about the setup and the emotional journey you take your audience on. I've seen actors nail their auditions by not just delivering lines but by creating a whole scene around them. It's crucial to understand that acting isn't just about memorizing lines; it's about connecting with the moment and the emotions behind those words. In this video, I share insights from my experiences with clients, including how to approach a scene with intention and authenticity. Whether you're auditioning for a one-liner or a leading role, the preparation you put in can make all the difference. I emphasize the importance of visualization and affirmations to help you stay focused and confident in your craft. I also discuss the significance of maintaining a work-life balance and having a 'happy file' to remind you of your successes and keep self-doubt at bay. Remember, acting is a journey filled with ups and downs, and it's essential to stay committed to your passion. So, if you're ready to take your acting skills to the next level and inspire others, join me in this exploration of techniques that can transform your performances.

Welcome to the DMF! I'm Justin Younts, and today we're diving into the essential daily habits that can elevate your acting career. Have you ever wondered how some actors seem to effortlessly land roles while others struggle? The answer often lies in their commitment to daily practice and accountability. Setting aside dedicated time in your calendar for rehearsals is crucial. When you write it down, it becomes real, and you're more likely to stick to it. Surrounding yourself with a supportive circle can also make a huge difference. Imagine having a group of fellow actors who check in on you, ensuring you're putting in the work. It's all about creating a success circle that motivates you to stay on track.But let's talk about social media. While it can be a great tool for networking, it can also be a trap. Many actors find themselves caught in the doom scroll, wasting precious hours that could be spent honing their craft. Instead of posting lengthy rants or getting lost in political debates, focus on what truly matters: your acting. Remember, talent is important, but being someone everyone loves to work with is often the key to success. So, how do you balance your online presence with your acting career? Consider creating separate accounts for personal and professional use. This way, you can keep your acting brand clean and focused.In this video, I'll share more tips on how to navigate the acting world while maintaining your authenticity. Whether you're preparing for auditions or simply looking to improve your skills, these insights will help you stay grounded and focused. Let's make your acting dreams a reality together!

Leah sits down with one her faves, Dr. Rebecca Sharp to chat about her newest release, The Vow. 

Welcome to the DMF! I'm Justin Younts, and today we're diving into how actors can find their ideal connections in the industry. It's crucial to surround yourself with the right people, especially in a field where negativity can easily creep in. Many actors find themselves in a cycle of complaining about their circumstances, which can be detrimental to their careers. I share a hilarious yet eye-opening story about two actresses who were unaware that the executive producer of the show they were auditioning for was sitting right next to them while they grumbled about the series. This serves as a reminder that you never know who might be listening, and maintaining a positive attitude is key. Instead of getting caught up in the negativity, I encourage actors to seek out diverse opportunities—like theater groups, film festivals, and workshops—to meet a variety of people and expand their network. It's all about building connections that can lead to future opportunities. I also touch on the importance of continuous learning and practice, just like athletes and musicians do. Remember, if you don't use it, you lose it! So, let's keep honing our craft and stay ready for when the industry opens back up.

Welcome to the DMF! I'm Justin Younts, and today we're diving deep into the often-overlooked aspects of acting that can make or break your career. In this video, we discuss the critical importance of mindset and self-esteem for actors, which many acting books fail to address. It's not just about the techniques; it's about how you feel and think as an actor. Many conservatory graduates face high burnout rates because they aren't prepared for the mental challenges of the industry. We explore how traditional training often neglects the psychological side of acting, leaving many feeling lost and frustrated after graduation. I share insights on how to navigate this tough industry, emphasizing the need for a realistic approach and a long-term vision. We also touch on the significance of relaxation under pressure and how meditation can be a game-changer for your performance. If you're serious about your acting career, you need to learn how to stay calm and focused, even when things get tough. Plus, we discuss the importance of surrounding yourself with a supportive community and having a clear vision of your goals.

In this episode of the Movement Logic Podcast, Laurel explores how we've come to assign moral value to certain movement concepts—like compression, flexion, anterior tilt, and instability—and why that language does more harm than good. She unpacks how terms that are neutral by definition often get rebranded as “bad,” “dangerous,” or “dysfunctional” in movement and rehab spaces.Rather than offering a list of “better” movement cues, Laurel invites listeners to step outside of binary thinking. This episode explores how our wiring, combined with marketing and group identity, fuels a polarizing narrative—a red-X/green-checkmark mentality that pits “functional” against “dysfunctional.”Whether you're a teacher, coach, or curious mover, this episode offers a reminder: biomechanical concepts are just descriptions of what's happening—not value-laden truths. And when we let go of moralizing movement, we open the door to more creativity, exploration, and individualized problem-solving.Sign up for our Bone Density Mini Course: Barbell 101!Follow us on Instagram @movementlogictutorialsResources:The Truth About Good vs Bad Muscles - Results Not Typical Podcast98: Capacities for Longevity Part 3 - Cardio94: Capacities for Longevity Part 2 - Power90: Capacities for Longevity Part 1 - Strength89: Is Dead Butt Syndrome Real?80: Posture Panic Pt. 3 with Author Dr. Beth Linker, PhD79: Make Yoga U Make Sense78: Behemoth Knee Myths76: Posture Panic Part 274: McGill We Go Again73: Posture Panic Pt. 167: Popular Explanations for SI Joint Pain are Wrong, Says Science66: Dismantling Long and Lean Pt. 363: Dismantling Long and Lean Part 262: Make McGill Make Sense58: Alignment Dogma - Shoulders54: Alignment Dogma - Spine48: Alignment Dogma - Pelvis19: Oh, NO!

Don't be shy, send me a message!Thomas Felix Creighton talks to Oxford historian Dr. Steven Parissien about his forthcoming book, ‘Another Round – A Post-War History of Britain in 12 Strong Drinks' from publisher August Books.We talk about class, age, gender, as factors in British ‘drinking culture', as well as the UK's ever changing international outlook, and the effect of marketing, in shaping our trends in drinking. We even talk about the rise of zero alcohol drinks in Britain.So, raise a glass to the Great British tradition of booze, and the twelve drinks that made it what it is today… Cheers!The history of Britain, perhaps more so than any other country, is defined by its drinking culture. Built on a foundation of pubs, clubs and watering holes, the UK has remained in the global top five for alcoholic intake per capita since 1700. It doesn't matter how it comes – nip, schooner, pint or yard – we will always gladly have another.But of such a vast and varied drinks menu, which are Britain's favourites? Which have stood the test of time? And what do they say about our wider culture?Steven Parissien's 'Another Round?' uncorks contemporary Britain's relationship with booze in twelve very different drinks.

Have you ever wondered why asking for what you want can feel so awkward—and why people say yes more often than we think? In this episode, I dive deep with Dr. Vanessa Bohns, an organizational behavior expert from Cornell University and the author of You Have More Influence Than You Think. Together, we unpack why influence is so much more than persuasion—and why it's less about manipulation and more about authentic, everyday impact. We explore the psychological biases that make us underestimate our influence, the surprising power of simply asking face-to-face, and the crucial difference between perspective-taking and perspective-getting. Whether you're a leader, a business developer, or simply looking to grow your positive influence, this conversation is packed with insights on building trust, making confident asks, and empowering others while avoiding the “ick” factor.   Topics We Cover in This Episode:    3:05 — Why putting “positive” in front of influence might matter more than you think 6:45 — The 100-year legacy of How to Win Friends and Influence People and why it's still relevant today 10:15 — Why “just ask” works and how face-to-face requests get 34x more yeses than emails 19:00 — How small, spontaneous asks can build authentic connections and why overthinking can kill momentum 25:20 — The hidden power of stating what you want and why it's essential in building relationships 29:00 — The difference between perspective-taking and perspective-getting 38:00 — Why direct asks often outperform polished presentations and how to practice this skill 44:00 — How seeing, feeling, and experiencing influence can make you a more confident and effective leader If you loved this conversation with Vanessa Bohns, share the episode with a friend or colleague who could use a confidence boost—and don't forget to subscribe for more actionable insights on mastering the art of positive influence!   Resources Mentioned: Order your copy of Give to Grow Get the Supplemental materials for Give to Grow Get a copy of your GrowBIG Playbook today!

There is a Chinese proverb- "The temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed." We never know what we are on the cusp of until we finish the journey. And, while failing teaches us many things, we don't have to be scared of failing. We should only be scared of walking away.

Dr. Dewan is also a best selling author, having recently published her book- Cutting A Path: The Power of Purpose, Discipline, and Determination.

A great idea isn't enough to build a thriving business—execution depends on how well a team works together. Miscommunication, misalignment, and unspoken tension can quietly stall progress, no matter how innovative the product is. The best founders aren't just visionaries; they know how to bring people together, translate ideas into action, and create an environment where momentum doesn't fade. Success often has less to do with the idea itself and more to do with the people making it happen. Dr. Kevin Scanlon has built a diverse career in academic medicine, pharmaceuticals, and biotech. He authored The Hybrid Entrepreneur, a guide to startup success, and has contributed to RNA research while mentoring university startups and investment groups. With a background in teaching entrepreneurship, he brings a deep understanding of business innovation and team dynamics. Today, he explores the challenges of turning scientific breakthroughs into business success. He emphasizes the need for clear communication, adaptable teams, and bridging the language gap between scientists, business leaders, and investors. Stay tuned!
