Do you ever wonder why, no matter how “calm” or “rational” you try to be, people find a reason not to believe you? Or why so many women start doubting their own reality (thinking maybe they're actually “crazy”) when all they've really done is survive? If that lands, then this is the show you didn't know how much you needed.In Part 2 of my conversation with the fearless Dr. Jessica Taylor, we're digging DEEP into how our systems train professionals (from police to therapists), to miss real trauma, why perpetrators become masters at looking innocent, and how women can actually protect themselves against being discredited. Dr. Jessica shares the raw realities of what happens when women finally try to escape abuse: How to safety plan, start building support, and even write your own story when your mind won't let you speak. We also reveal how you can reclaim your power and SPEAK UP, even when your whole body shakes with fear…because I promise, leaving doesn't make you crazy. It makes you wildly courageous.You're about to get actionable strategies, the inside scoop on how abusers manipulate the system, and the single most important thing you can do to get your voice back—even if you're at rock bottom.

College athletics officially entered the Twilight Zone this week, and now athletic directors are talking about refusing to schedule Texas Tech in any sport. This week on Craft Brewed Sports:

It's June. Summer just started. And if you made it here - through the hard weeks, the missed workouts, the moments you almost quit - I want you to hear something:You are closer than you think.This episode isn't about strategy. It's about the messy, unglamorous middle stretch of a fitness journey - the part nobody talks about - and what it actually takes to push through it when motivation is gone and results feel far away.In this episode, I'm talking directly to the woman who almost gave up. Maybe she did, for a little while. And she's here anyway. That matters more than she knows.You'll hear:Why the middle of a fitness journey is the hardest place to be - and why it's also where everything is decidedThe real reason June feels so hard for so many women (and why it's not what you think)Why waiting to feel ready before you start again is the one thing keeping you stuckHow to shrink the target and build momentum without burning out in 10 daysWhy the version of summer you thought you'd have by now is holding you backHow to use the season instead of fighting itYou haven't missed anything. Summer just started. And what you do in the next 8 weeks is going to matter.Let's talk about it.Join us in the Inspire Fitness program: Use the link here: https://inspirehw.com/ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fit.nutritionist?igsh=MTJqZXhjODR2ZzduaA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Casey.Young.RD.CPT?mibextid=LQQJ4d

If you've ever woken up at 3 a.m. for no reason, walked into a room and completely blanked on why, or felt like your brain was wrapped in cotton wool... this episode is for you. These are not random complaints. They are among the most common early signs of perimenopause, and most women have no idea that's what's happening.I took a perimenopause symptom assessment through my Oura Ring recently and my results came back as mild across the cognitive and sleep categories. My first thought was, "mild doesn't sound that bad." Then I read what actually falls under "mild," and I recognized myself immediately. That was enough to make me sit down with our naturopathic physician, Dr. Desiree Caruso, ND, and record this episode.Dr. Desiree breaks down exactly what is happening in the brain and body during perimenopause, why the symptoms are real and measurable, and what the research says about how functional mushrooms can support women through this transition. We cover lion's mane, reishi, cordyceps, maitake, and tremella, and I share why all five of them ended up in Eversio's Five Mushroom Blend.If you have a woman in your life who is in her late 30s, 40s, or early 50s, this episode is worth a listen even if perimenopause isn't on your own radar yet.What You'll Learn:What perimenopause actually is (and the clinical definition that finally makes it clear), and why it is not a disease or a dysfunctionWhy the brain feels hormonal fluctuation so directly, including which brain regions have estrogen receptors and what that means for memory and decision-makingHow lion's mane supports the same nerve growth factor pathway that estrogen was protecting, through a completely different mechanism that does not require estrogenThe research behind lion's mane and cognition, including a placebo-controlled study done specifically in menopausal women showing improved focus and reduced anxiety after four weeksWhy reishi does not sedate you the way a pharmaceutical does, and how it works through the gut-brain axis to support your body's own melatonin productionThe GABA connection: how declining progesterone disrupts sleep and how reishi's triterpene compounds appear to support that same calming pathwayWhat cordyceps does for energy and adrenal function during perimenopause, and why adrenal health becomes increasingly important as the ovaries step backHow maitake supports metabolic health and glucose regulation as estrogen declines, and why that matters more than most women realizeWhy tremella earned its place in the blend, and how its polysaccharides support skin hydration from within as estrogen dropsWhat "standardized to 35% beta-D-glucans" actually means and why that number on the label makes a real difference in whether a mushroom product worksHow Dr. Desiree thinks about functional mushrooms in relation to other perimenopause support options, including hormone replacement therapy, with an honest look at what the research does and does not yet showResources Mentioned:Eversio Five Mushroom Blend: https://www.eversiowellness.com/products/5-mushroom-blend-organic-extracts?variant=45340200599751Oura Ring perimenopause symptom assessment feature: https://ouraring.com/womens-healthAtomic Habits by James Clear: https://jamesclear.com/atomic-habitsYour Next Steps:Shop Eversio Wellness: https://www.eversiowellness.com/collections/all-productsFollow Eversio on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eversiowellness/Try the Eversio Five Mushroom Blend: https://www.eversiowellness.com/products/5-mushroom-blend-organic-extracts?variant=45340200599751 -- use code PODCAST15 at checkout for 15% off your entire order

This is how you scale a contracting business without burning yourself out.Sam Wakefield and Doug C. Brown just became business partners. Sam's been training contractors on sales and systems for years. Doug took Tony Robbins' sales team from seventeen point eight percent close rates to forty-three point two percent in four months. He's worked with ClickFunnels, E-Myth, and dozens of trades companies.When they combined forces? Exponential results.In this episode, you'll see exactly how we scaled a plumbing business from forty-five thousand dollars per month to one hundred fifty thousand dollars per month in ninety days. That's three times revenue in a quarter. But here's where it gets good. When Doug looked at the numbers, he cut the plumber's expenses in half. Then we added process around everything. And within two and a half weeks into the month, this guy had his best sales day, best sales week, and was on track for his best month ever.That's revenue growth plus expense reduction plus process improvement happening at the same time.How We Scaled This Plumbing Business:Step one: revenue growth through sales training and systems. Step two: expense restructuring and profit optimization. Step three: process implementation around everything. Result: triple the revenue in ninety days, cut expenses in half, best month ever by week two point five.The Formula:Money in minus money out equals result. That result equals the owner's quality of life. If you improve both sides of that equation at the same time, you transform the owner's life.Key Teaching Points:Why most contractors build the business on their own backHow to get it off your back through process and systemsThe axiom: success happens at the speed of implementationNinety percent of your time should be spent selling when growing to your first millionBut selling at a profit, that's the differenceSam's strength: revenue growth, sales frameworks, communicationDoug's strength: expense reduction, profit margins, process, efficiencyTogether: exponential growth contractors never thought possibleThe right tool at the right time, why most people fail with softwareMost contractors buy wrong tools at the wrong time or right tools at the wrong timeSoftware doesn't fix broken business fundamentalsNo magic bullets in businessDigitized follow-ups and AI call centers are distractions if the timing is wrongWhy random tools and software waste contractor's moneySame concepts apply whether you're two hundred K or two hundred million in revenueBut your focus changes at each stageRussell Brunson was Doug's student at Tony Robbins before ClickFunnelsDoug's credentials: Tony Robbins, ClickFunnels mentor, E-Myth, trades companiesRevenue growth without profit improvement equals owner crushedProfit improvement without revenue growth equals leaving money on the tableYou need both at the same time with proper processThe synergy of growing revenue, cutting expenses, and adding systems simultaneouslyReal Results from This Episode:Virginia plumber, forty-five thousand dollars per month in sales. After ninety days with Sam's training, one hundred fifty thousand dollars per month. Then Doug restructured the expenses, cut them in half. Then we added process. Week two point five into the month, best sales day ever, best week ever, best month ever. And that's just the beginning because we're still implementing.Work with Sam & Doug:Website: https://www.closeitnow.netCoaching and training: https://www.closeitnow.net/coachingFacebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/closeitnowEmail: sam@closeitnow.netGoogle Review: https://g.page/r/CbfnnDqTCwQdEAE/reviewThe Build - Company Scaling Partnership:This is the new offering from Sam and Doug.

Artificial intelligence is moving fast, but union journalists are fighting back even faster. In today's episode of the America's Work Force Union Podcast, host Ed "Flash" Ferenc sits down with Jon Schleuss, President of the NewsGuild-CWA, fresh off his historic election to the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) executive committee in Paris.

“Leadership at scale isn't about having all the answers—it's about drawing out other people's thinking.” - Winnie da SilvaWhy do so many leaders feel like they have to carry all the answers, and what is it actually costing them?In this episode, I unpack one of the most overlooked leadership tools: asking better questions. I share why constantly jumping in with solutions can quietly limit your team's thinking, and how shifting toward thoughtful, open-ended questions can completely change the way you lead. It doesn't mean stepping back or losing authority, but it does elevate the quality of conversations, decisions, and ownership across your team.You'll hear me discuss:Why having all the answers can actually hold your team backHow asking questions creates ownership instead of dependencyThe connection between inquiry and reducing defensivenessHow better questions uncover hidden risks, assumptions, and blind spotsWhy leaders who ask more questions tend to make stronger decisionsHow questions build trust and increase accountability across teamsSimple, real-world questions you can use in conversations starting todayResourcesWinnie da Silva on LinkedIn | On the Web | Substack | YouTube | Email - winnie@winnifred.orgExample Questions: Understanding someone's thinking“That's an interesting point. Tell me more about what you're thinking.”“When you say X, what does that mean to you?”“What would need to be true for this to work?”“What do you care most about in this situation?”Collaboration and partnership“How might we best partner together on this?”“What role would you like me to play here?”“What decision do you need from me today?”Feedback conversations“What feedback do you have for me?”“What's hard to tell me?”“What are we not talking about that we probably should be?”Vision and goals“If you and your team could only achieve one thing this year, what would it be?”“What challenge, if solved, would make the biggest difference?”“What are your top priorities and why?”Problem-solving and decision-making“What might be the root issue underneath this?”“What are we implicitly saying no to by saying yes?”“What data would change your mind?”

Today's conversation is with Andy Brodziak.Andy is the founder of Tritanum Coaching and has spent over 20 years coaching athletes at every level - from everyday individuals taking on their first endurance event to elite performers in boxing and endurance sport.He's also completed 20 Ironman races himself, giving him a rare blend of lived experience and coaching expertise.In this episode, we explore the growing shift from strength training to endurance challenges, the systems required to perform at a high level, and how nutrition, hydration, and behaviour underpin both physical and cognitive performance.Expect to learn:Why so many strength-focused gym goers are transitioning into endurance eventsThe biggest mistakes people make when moving from lifting to endurance trainingWhy lack of progress is usually a systems problem—not a talent problemThe key systems every successful endurance athlete has in placeHow to transition from lifting 5x per week into endurance training intelligentlyThe fundamentals of fuelling and hydration for performanceThe most common nutrition mistakes that hold athletes backHow hydration and electrolytes actually impact performance (beyond the trends)The link between nutrition and cognitive performanceWhat “right time, right fuel” looks like in real lifeInsights from working with elite athletes like Tyson Fury and Nicola AdamsLessons from coaching Josh Patterson through his world record endurance challengesThe hardest lessons Andy has learned through endurance competitionGet 20 lessons from 330 CamBro Conversations - https://colcambro.kit.com/60ed1b527b Get my Linkedin for Sales Guide - https://colcambro.kit.com/products/linked-in-personal-brand-for-sellingGet my Peak Productivity BLUEPRINT - https://colcambro.kit.com/products/peak-performance-blueprint Make Millionaire Money Moves - https://millionaire-fhcpmlvz.manus.space Book a conversation about Private Medical Insurance with Lewis & Mark - lewis.mitchell@wpa-hcp.org.uk and Mark.McKenzie@wpa-hcp.org.uk Connect with AndyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/andybrodziak/Website: https://tri-tanium.com/Connect with your host, Colin CampbellInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/col.cambro/Email List: https://colcambro.kit.com/30bde23b0c Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ColCampbell

In this episode of Memoirs of an LDS Servant Podcast, Maurice Harker teaches a powerful principle for transformation: your identity is not fixed—you can choose and build it intentionally.This episode dives into how negative self-talk, shame, and past mistakes can shape a destructive identity—and how writing and repeating intentional identity statements can completely change the direction of your life. Maurice explains why many people feel stuck, not because they can't change, but because they are anchored to a false or limiting view of themselves.You'll also learn how to separate who you've been from who you can become, and how to actively “plant” a new identity that grows over time through belief, repetition, and action.

If your phone's stopped ringing… this is the episode you need.In this no-nonsense episode of the Off The Tools Podcast, we break down exactly what tradesmen should be doing when business goes quiet — especially during the summer slowdown.Most trades business owners panic, sit back, or accept “it is what it is.”That mindset is exactly why they stay stuck.This episode flips that on its head.We cover real, practical business coaching for tradesmen, including:Why your trade business REALLY goes quiet (and it's not just the season)How to use slow periods to build a stronger, more profitable businessThe biggest mistakes tradesmen make when work drops offWhy the “old ways” of running a trades business no longer workHow to build systems, structure, and recurring revenue (like service plans)The importance of strategy, time management, and money controlWhy most tradesmen avoid risk — and how that's holding them backHow to create purpose in your business to avoid burnout and stagnationThis is real-world trades business coaching, based on what's actually working right now in UK trade businesses — not theory, not fluff.

This episode kicks off National Foster Care Awareness Month — a time not just to reflect, but to act.On today's Fostering Change, Rob Scheer welcomes back Laura, The Foster Parent Partner, a therapeutic foster parent, mentor, and now author of First-Time Fostering, releasing May 12.This conversation focuses on a question many people ask, but far fewer answer: what does it actually take to become a foster parent?Not the idea of it — the reality.Laura brings practical, real-world insight into what fostering looks like day to day, what new foster parents need to understand, and how to move from thinking about it to stepping into it. As a returning guest, she builds on her previous conversation with Rob to go deeper into the emotional, logistical, and human side of fostering.As we begin National Foster Care Awareness Month, this episode serves as a starting point for those considering how they can be part of the solution.Episode HighlightsWhy National Foster Care Awareness Month should lead to action, not just recognitionThe gap between thinking about fostering and actually saying yesWhat foster parenting really looks like day to dayCommon fears and misconceptions that hold people backHow support, mentorship, and community make fostering possibleAbout LauraKnown as The Foster Parent Partner, Laura is a therapeutic foster parent, content creator, and mentor who supports individuals navigating the foster care journey. Through her platform, she helps new foster parents move through the licensing process and prepare for their first placement with confidence.Her new book, First-Time Fostering, is a practical, honest guide designed to equip future foster parents with the tools, expectations, and clarity needed to take that first step.Key Questions from This EpisodeWhat inspired you to write First-Time Fostering — and who is it for?What makes this book different from others about foster care?Why does Foster Care Awareness Month matter, and how should people respond?What are the biggest fears that stop people from fostering?What does fostering really look like on a daily basis?What role does community play in helping foster parents succeed?What should someone do if they're on the fence right now?Closing ThoughtAwareness is only the beginning. What matters is what comes next.Foster care doesn't need more observers — it needs more people willing to step in, show up, and say yes.

Is your teen talking back… rolling their eyes… or saying things that feel completely disrespectful?You're not alone—and more importantly, you're not doing anything wrong.Teen attitude problems are one of the most common (and most triggering) challenges for parents of tweens and teens.But how you respond in those moments can either escalate the situation… or completely shift it.In this episode, we're breaking down what's really happening when your teen shows attitude—and why reacting the way most parents do actually makes it worse.You'll learn how to stay calm, set boundaries, and respond in a way that teaches respect instead of creating more conflict.Because your teen doesn't need more punishment…They need better guidance.In this episode, you'll learn:Why teen attitude problems often get worse when parents react emotionallyHow to respond to a disrespectful teen without escalating the situationWhat to say in the moment when your teen talks backHow to set clear boundaries without damaging your relationshipWhy repair conversations matter more than lecturesSimple scripts you can use immediatelyThis approach helps you reduce conflict, build trust, and actually teach your teen how to communicate with more respect.If you're ready to feel calmer and more confident parenting your tween or teen…

In this final episode of our “What I Wish I Knew” series, we're taking a step back to reflect on advocacy—what it's looked like for us over the years, what's changed, and what we wish we understood earlier.We talk honestly about the emotional weight of advocating for our kids with Down syndrome, the tension of speaking up in systems that don't always listen, and the growth that comes from learning to trust your instincts.From early parenting moments to IEP meetings and navigating social media, this conversation explores the complexity of advocacy—how it evolves, where it gets messy, and why it's never just one moment, but a lifelong process.We also dig into how advocacy has shifted in the age of social media—the connection it brings, but also the pressure, comparison, and confusion around what it's supposed to look like.If you've ever felt overwhelmed, unsure, or alone in advocating for your child, this episode offers perspective, honesty, and encouragement.Why advocacy is unavoidable as a parent of a child with Down syndromeLearning to trust your gut—even when “experts” disagreeThe emotional reality of speaking up and pushing backHow advocacy evolves over time and gets more complexSocial media: connection, pressure, and comparisonRedefining what advocacy actually looks likeAdvocacy isn't about doing more or being louder—it's about staying grounded in your “why,” trusting your instincts, and showing up for your child over time.

We've all been to a Seder. We know the songs, the matzah, the wine… and somehow, we still walk out the same person. But what if the Seder was never meant to be a ritual you attend, but a process you go through?In this class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath uncovers the Seder as a 15-step journey of real transformation.

What starts to shift when you stop putting everyone else first… and finally come back to yourself?In this episode, I'm walking you through 10 powerful signs that you're no longer living in self-abandonment and what begins to change in your nervous system, your boundaries, and your sense of self when you do.If you've been feeling exhausted, overextended, or quietly disconnected from your own needs… this isn't a sign that something is wrong with you. It's often a sign that you've been leaving yourself behind and that you're now beginning to return.These shifts are subtle at first.But once you see them, you can't unsee them.And they become the foundation for a life that feels more steady, aligned, and truly your own.✨ In this video, we explore:Why self-abandonment happens (and how it becomes a pattern)What changes in your nervous system when you start choosing yourselfThe difference between guilt that pulls you out of alignment vs. brings you backHow boundaries begin to feel more natural (even if they still feel uncomfortable)The small, real-life signs that you're building self-trust

In this episode, Brian Alvey, CTO of WordPress VIP (Automattic's enterprise platform), reveals how the platform powering NASA, CBS, NBCUniversal, Rolling Stone, Samsung, and the White House is integrating AI into enterprise publishing at massive scale. Brian shares how he's built over 24 content management platforms throughout his career — and why the current AI moment is the most transformative shift he's ever seen in publishing technology.Brian breaks down how WordPress VIP is embedding AI into tools like Parse.ly to give editors conversational content insights, how their AI-powered "editorial recipes" turn hours of manual headline testing and cross-linking into minutes, and how a new tool called Tollbit lets publishers actually charge AI crawlers for accessing their content. He also shares his philosophy on keeping humans in the loop at enterprise scale, how 200-person newsrooms and 11,000-contributor content teams are navigating AI adoption, and why the open web matters more than ever when everyone's fighting for attention in an AI-first world.Key Topics CoveredHow WordPress VIP powers mission-critical content for NASA, CBS, the White House, and hundreds of enterprise brandsBrian's journey building 24+ content management platforms and what he's learned about great CMS architectureHow WordPress VIP takes open-source WordPress and locks it down with enterprise governance for massive newsroomsThe AI tools WordPress VIP is building: conversational analytics, headline testing, engagement optimization, and automated cross-linkingHow Tollbit lets publishers charge AI companies for crawling their content — a new revenue stream for mediaWhat "human in the loop" actually means when you're managing 11,000 contributorsThe Agentforce integration with Salesforce: bringing AI-powered chat and lead generation directly into WordPress sitesWhy the open web still matters in the age of AI and how publishers are fighting backHow enterprise publishing teams are adopting AI without sacrificing editorial qualityBrian's honest take on where AI helps editors vs. where it still falls shortEpisode Timestamps00:00 - Introduction and welcome00:35 - Brian's career building publishing platforms before Google existed03:22 - AI as an equalizing paradigm shift07:20 - Generalist superpower: bridging art and science09:46 - Human skills vs AI: lessons from The Founder13:36 - Career advice for his kids in the AI era16:01 - WordPress VIP and enterprise publishing at scale18:28 - Core mission: speed and stability without breaking things23:06 - AI content intelligence tools and MCP adapters28:39 - Media business fundamentals: attention and monetization35:27 - Customer segments and AI crawler strategies40:12 - Trust and credibility in the AI-generated content era44:25 - From competing against WordPress to leading it48:15 - Obsession with automation and future of work51:51 - Building products in days with AI tools like Claude56:47 - What truly drives him58:40 - Closing and where to find BrianBrian's Socials:LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianalvey/Website — https://brianalvey.comPartner LinksBook Enterprise Training — https://www.upscaile.com/Subscribe to our free newsletter — https://www.theaireport.ai/subscribe

Everyone understands why AI matters. The value is clear. The technology is evolving at breakneck speed. But here's the real question: how do you actually make it work at scale? In this episode of HFS Unfiltered Stories, Saurabh Gupta, President at HFS Research, sat down with Thiru Venkatachalam, VP & Senior Partner, Enterprise AI Transformation Leader at IBM Consulting, to tackle the biggest issue enterprises face today: moving beyond endless pilots and into real, production-grade AI. Over 90% of enterprises are still stuck in “pilot purgatory.” So what's missing?They discussed:Why enterprise AI is very different from the ChatGPT consumer momentThe hidden “enterprise debts” holding organizations backHow to think about AI ROI across short-term wins, competitive plays, and long-term moonshotsWhy cost reduction alone is the wrong lensThe disruption AI is creating in IT software and servicesWhy AI transformation must be CEO-ledThe role of platforms, governance, and security in scaling AI This is a practical conversation about what it really takes to operationalize AI, from data and org design to leadership mindset.

Markets don't close when the exchange does. They just move somewhere else.In this episode of MoneyNeverSleeps, Pete Townsend speaks with Alex Pollak of 21Shares about why crypto ETPs are not just surviving the rise of onchain finance — they're about to become part of it.Alex Pollak is Managing Director and Head of UK and New Markets at 21Shares, which provides the largest suite of cryptocurrency exchange-traded products in the world. Drawing on over 20 years in the ETF and ETP industry, Alex explains why the wrapper that made crypto accessible to institutions is now evolving into something programmable, tokenized, and potentially tradeable around the clock.Across crypto, fintech, and traditional finance, the conversation around tokenized assets and 24/7 markets is moving from theory toward product reality. Exchanges, brokers, and issuers are beginning to ask what happens when the underlying assets never sleep but the fund structure still does.Rather than being displaced by direct crypto ownership or onchain alternatives, ETPs may be about to get smarter — evolving from simple access vehicles into programmable baskets that operate inside a financial system that no longer has opening hours.This isn't a crypto-versus-TradFi conversation. It's a discussion about financial infrastructure, total cost of ownership, and how one of the most successful product innovations in market history is quietly reinventing itself.We coverWhy buying crypto directly isn't always cheaper than using an ETPHow total cost of ownership changes the calculation for institutional investorsWhy basket products are the next frontier — and what's holding them backHow regulators in the US, UK, and Europe are shaping the pace of innovationWhy 21Shares wants to tokenize its own ETPsWhat a 24/7 tradeable ETP actually looks like in practiceWhy the long runway for crypto ETPs is just beginningAlex brings a perspective shaped by two decades of watching skepticism turn into a multi-trillion dollar industry — and sees the same pattern emerging in crypto ETPs today.If you're a founder, operator, or investor trying to understand how traditional financial products and onchain systems are beginning to converge, this episode offers a clear-eyed view of where things are heading.00:00 Markets never close: the cold open00:30 Intro and guest welcome01:00 How investors access crypto today02:30 ETPs vs direct ownership: who uses what03:30 Total cost of ownership and the spread argument04:30 How ETP spreads have tightened over time05:00 From single asset to basket products06:00 What regulators in the UK, US and Europe are allowing07:00 The dream: funds as smart contracts08:00 Tokenizing ETPs and the 24/7 market problem09:30 Technology ahead of regulation10:30 The long runway for crypto ETPs11:00 Closing thoughts and where to find 21SharesFor full show notes and guest links, see below.MoneyNeverSleeps explores one big idea each week in under 15 minutes with founders, operators, and investors shaping crypto, fintech, AI, and onchain finance.If you're interested in where financial infrastructure is heading — from tokenized assets and crypto ETPs to programmable markets and onchain settlement — subscribe and join the conversation.

750 layoffs a day. No, that's not a typo — and it's not slowing down.Brett sits down with Steve Jaffe, marketing veteran and author of The Layoff Journey: From Dismissal to Discovery, to talk about what most career books completely skip: the emotional and psychological toll of losing a job — and why processing that first is the key to what comes next.Steve was laid off four times over a 30-year career. His first layoff took him years to recover from. His last one in 2023? Water off a duck's back. The difference? He finally understood what he was actually experiencing: grief.This one is for anyone who's been laid off, is worried about being laid off, or is watching colleagues get cut and wondering when it's their turn.In this episode:Why January 2026 had the highest single-month layoffs since 2009 — and why the job market isn't bouncing backHow layoffs became a business strategy instead of a last resort (and what that means for your career security)The stages of grief that apply to job loss — and why skipping them is costing people months of their job searchWhy the "myth of meritocracy" is one of the most dangerous things to believe in corporateThe identity crisis that hits when your job title is your identity — and how to separate the twoWhat Gen Z is getting right about corporate that older generations sacrificedSteve's pivot from laid-off marketing exec to published author — without a Plan B in place firstWhy having a side hustle isn't just a trend — it's now a survival strategyAbout Steve JaffeSteve spent 30 years in marketing and advertising — from West Coast ad agencies to in-house brand roles, including work on the iconic What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas campaign. After being laid off four times, he channeled those 10,000 hours of experience into his book, The Layoff Journey: From Dismissal to Discovery — a practical, grief-informed guide to navigating job loss without losing yourself in the process.Resources mentioned:

No flying out to properties. No managing contractors. No second job disguised as passive income.What you'll learn:The questions that separate good property managers from disasters (hint: it's not about their fees)Why Melissa went from flips and BRRRs back to turnkey investing—and why she's never looking backHow to vet teams 2,000 miles away when you can't be on-siteThe $99K property that changed everything (and why fear almost killed the deal)Property managers as your best acquisition source—if you ask the right questionWhy this conversation matters:Melissa made every mistake you're worried about making.

What if the life you imagine—the freedom, the peace, the version of you that feels aligned and fulfilled—doesn't require extraordinary talent, massive motivation, or perfect discipline?In this episode of The One Second of Strength Podcast, Tanner Clark breaks down a powerful truth most people overlook: real transformation comes from being consistently average.We tend to overestimate what we can do in a single day and underestimate what consistent, simple effort can do over time. Whether you're working toward better health, stronger relationships, personal growth, or long-term success, the gap between where you are and where you want to be isn't closed by intensity—it's closed by consistency.This episode is a reminder that you don't need to be special to change your life. You just need to keep showing up.Why consistency matters more than motivation or talentWhat “consistently average” really means—and why it worksHow small, daily actions compound into massive life changeWhy quitting is the biggest obstacle holding most people backHow to rest and reset without giving up on yourselfThe importance of celebrating small wins instead of ignoring themHow routines and habits turn discipline into identitySimple mindset shifts that help you push through doubt, fear, and resistanceHow one second of strength can change the direction of your day—and your lifeYou don't have to run up the mountain.You don't have to take huge steps.You just have to take the next step—and then another.The future version of you is already waiting. Every day you choose to show up, even at 40%, you're moving closer. Being consistently average isn't settling—it's the fastest path to becoming who you're meant to be.Share it with someone who needs encouragement todayLeave a rating or review to help this message reach more peopleReflect on one small action you can take today—and commit to itRemember: if you choose to show up for your life, life will show up for you.Go find your one second of strength… and be happy.

Stop second-guessing yourself outdoors: learn what's actually “icky,” what's just noise, and how to build confidence fast.  Julia Stallings is joined by DU Ascend host Erin Crider and Maggie Williams (duck hunter and women-in-the-outdoors advocate) to talk real etiquette, safety, and community.This episode gets honest (and funny) about the “icks” women run into in hunting and fishing culture—everything from performative photos to gear judgement. Erin and Maggie share practical ways to keep the outdoors welcoming: lead by example, teach without shaming, and prioritize safety when you're alone on public land. You'll also hear real talk on makeup, social media pressure, and how women are “redesigning what conservation looks like” through community and positivity.Why “duck in your mouth” photos turn people off—and what to do insteadMakeup in the blind: do it or don't, but don't let it define youThe fish photo ick: wide-angle, long-arming, and posing vs documenting the journeySafety on public land: why some women avoid pink and try not to “look like a girl” aloneGear talk that matters: fit challenges, cost, and what keeps new hunters coming backHow to correct a newcomer without tearing them down (DMs, tone, and leading by example)

Do you ever feel like you're stuck in the same cycle — repeating the same patterns in your health, your relationships, or your work — no matter how hard you try to change? You're not alone.In this episode of The Rachel Hollis Podcast, we're talking about the secret to finally breaking old patterns: raising your standards. Not the big shiny goals (your ceiling), but the everyday choices and habits (your floor) that quietly shape your entire life.You'll learn:Why your current “normal” may be the very thing holding you backHow small, repeatable standards rewire your brain and reinforce new beliefsThe energetic truth: your standards don't just change you, they change the vibration you send out into the worldFour key areas to audit (health, relationships, self-respect, and vocation) to raise your floor and transform your lifeThis conversation is inspired by a chapter in my latest book that asks the question: What's your floor? Because once you raise the level of what you're willing to accept as “normal,” you'll be amazed at how fast your life begins to shift.If you're ready to stop spinning in the same patterns and finally step into the life you've been dreaming about — this episode is for you.Get your copy of Rachel's New Book Here: Audible, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Millon, Bookshop.org, or wherever books are sold!01:07 Welcome and Podcast Subscription02:28 The Power of Standards04:06 Personal Transformation Journey05:44 Aligning Actions with Goals07:30 Raising Your Standards08:38 The Concept of Floors and Ceilings19:27 Neurological and Energetic Impact of Standards24:56 Practical Steps to Raise Your Standards38:03 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsSign up for Rachel's weekly email: https://msrachelhollis.com/insider/Call the podcast hotline and leave a voicemail!
