What Happens When Pressure Builds—and You Don't Even Know It? In this episode, Natalie Born sits down with Ryan Dunlap, conflict strategist, former hostage negotiator, and author of How to Untie a Balloon: A Negotiator's Guide to Avoid Popping Under Pressure. Ryan brings real-life strategies from both interrogation rooms and executive coaching sessions, helping leaders recognize how pressure impacts their behavior and decision-making.Through powerful metaphors—like the overinflated balloon—and practical frameworks such as FIRST and STOP, Ryan offers a roadmap for decompressing emotionally, resolving deep-seated conflict, and returning to leadership with clarity and strength. If you're leading while stressed, burned out, or in constant response mode, this episode is a must-listen.[00:01 - 04:16] The Balloon Metaphor and Hidden PressureWhy law enforcement prepared Ryan less for pressure than pastoring did.How a balloon exercise revealed the emotional buildup leaders carry.The surprising connection between suspects and CEOs under pressure.[04:17 - 08:00] The FIRST FrameworkFeelings, Interests, Relationships, Situations, and Toll—breaking down complex issues into manageable parts.Why most leaders try to solve everything at once—and how that backfires.How FIRST builds sustainable emotional progress through small wins.[08:01 - 12:00] Resilience, Conflict, and the Grudge TrapStats on how long we hold grudges—and the hidden cost.Why strategy and resources don't matter when we're emotionally depleted.The critical need to “suffer well” and build a healthier foundation before scaling.[12:01 - 16:00] Identifying Internal Pressure Before You ExplodeHow to self-audit your automatic responses to stress.The difference between seeking relief and pursuing resolution.Recognizing that what you normalize might actually be a high-pressure state.[16:01 - 20:59] Reclaiming Your BaselineUnderstanding the hedonic treadmill and the identity toll of constant pressure.The STOP model: Space, Time, Opportunity, Perspective.A powerful question: “Who were you before the world hurt you?”[21:00 - 26:00] Sabbaticals, Rest, and Redefining ProductivityWhy many leaders are running unsustainable lives—and don't know it.The paradox of rest: You're more productive when you pause.Choosing the right kind of consequences: business strain vs. personal collapse.[26:01 - 28:00] Daily Tips, Deeper Coaching & the Conflict-ish CommunityWhere to find Ryan's 90-second daily videos.How to get your copy of How to Untie a Balloon.A look at Ryan's upcoming academy for personal and professional transformation.Quotes:“Pressure causes us to lean into relief instead of resolution.” – Ryan Dunlap“If you don't stop working, something bad is going to happen anyway.

Today I talk about my "Ego Balloon", and how it popped in mid twenties. Since then I've learned the importance of buoyancy. I'm not great at it yet, but at least I know what what it's made of.

In this offbeat edition of Word ,Balloon's SCENE MISSING  Gabriel Hardman and I peel back the curtain on the gloriously chaotic making of Beat the Devil (1953), the cult classic that blended noir, comedy, and adventure long before it was fashionable.With a script co-written on the fly by Truman Capote, a sardonic performance from Humphrey Bogart, and the directing flair of John Huston, Beat the Devil was a film where nearly nothing went according to plan—and that's exactly what makes it legendary. We dig into the behind-the-scenes madness: from Bogart breaking his teeth in a car crash and dubbing lines with a lisp, to Capote allegedly writing pages each morning just before they were filmed.Shot on location in Italy with a freewheeling cast of characters—including Gina Lollobrigida, Robert Morley, and Peter Lorre—this film defied studio expectations and genre conventions. Whether you see it as a brilliant satire or an accidental masterpiece, Beat the Devil remains a time capsule of mid-century moviemaking gone delightfully rogue. Join us as we celebrate the charming chaos and unlikely alchemy that brought it to life.

Helium is full of contradictions. It's the second most abundant element in the universe, but is relatively rare on Earth. It's non-reactive, totally inert—yet the most valuable helium isotope is sourced from thermonuclear warheads. And even though we treat it as a disposable gas, often for making funny voices and single-use party balloons, our global supply of helium will eventually run out. That's because, at a rate of about 50 grams per second, this non-renewable resource is escaping the atmosphere for good. In this edition of The Element of Surprise, our occasional series about the hidden histories behind the periodic table's most unassuming atoms, we examine the incredible properties and baffling economics of our most notable noble gas. Featuring Anjali Tripathi and William Halperin. This episode was produced by Taylor Quimby and first released in 2024.

Send us a textEver wonder what happens when conversation boundaries disappear and your most candid friends just say what everyone's thinking? Welcome to a whirlwind episode that starts with reality TV eye candy and ends somewhere you never expected.The journey begins with Just Jess breaking down Love Island Season 7, spotlighting standouts like "beautiful" Jeremiah (sparking a spirited debate about colorism), fan-favorite Huda, and other contestants who've captured viewers' attention. But underneath the fun, a more serious conversation emerges about impossible beauty standards perpetuated by shows casting only perfect bodies. As one host notes, "People don't walk around looking like this" – raising questions about representation and society's unrealistic expectations.From reality TV, we pivot to real-life drama as the group discusses the viral Coldplay concert incident where a CEO and his company's HR director were caught in a compromising position on the stadium jumbotron. Their panicked reaction – ducking away and hiding their faces – essentially confirmed suspicions about an affair, leading to a discussion about workplace ethics, potential professional consequences, and the risks of living in our constantly-recording world.The conversation takes unexpected turns through Hollywood casting patterns (has The Rock ever had a Black love interest on screen?), personal confessions about breast milk experiences, and the dating show "Pop the Balloon" featuring hilarious clips. Every topic blends seamlessly into the next, creating the feeling of hanging out with friends who aren't afraid to speak their minds.What makes this podcast special isn't just the wide-ranging topics – it's the chemistry between hosts who transition effortlessly from pop culture analysis to deeply personal confessions with humor and authenticity. Whether they're discussing corporate scandals, reality TV hotties, or unexpected personal experiences, the unfiltered conversation feels refreshingly real.Ready for a podcast that might make you laugh, think, and occasionally blush? Tune in, turn up the volume, and join the conversation – just maybe not with your kids in the car.Thanks for listening to the Nobody's Talking Podcast.

If you've ever forgotten about a job, left your U-Haul door open when driving or gotten robbed at an installation… you're going to relate to what Rachel shares in this episode! She and I talk about some of our worst installations to date and, more importantly, how we handled them and kept moving forward. Even though the topic feels negative, Rachel and I couldn't help but laugh our way through this episode as we commiserate in things that only balloon professionals would understand.  Before we dive into the hilarity, Rachel offers some tips for those managing their full-time jobs alongside their balloon business, including customer management, time management, boundaries and product offerings. Then we get into it. Hear about her forgotten job and the absolute scramble to make it happen… tons of broken bases on her first 5-digit job… balloon bags flying across the highway… and stolen bags with hundreds of dollars of equipment inside.  I chime in with my related stories, too, and we wrap up by sharing some final thoughts about how to turn crazy things like these into learning opportunities. I'm so grateful to Rachel for being willing to come on the show to talk about the kinds of mistakes that we all make… or almost certainly will make.

What does it really mean to love as a Black man or woman in a society shaped by grief, abandonment, and unspoken expectations? In this Earth Xperiences episode, host Dani sits down with @this.cypher to explore the emotional cost of Black love in a world that often values performance over presence.Together, they examine how unprocessed pain and systemic trauma shape our relationships. Justin Scott shares powerful insights on identity, grief, dominance, and the difference between performative love and real connection. He explains why many men remain uninitiated and why some women unknowingly become stages for men who have not yet met themselves.They ask honest questions that too often go ignored.Why do so many relationships start with a need to be seen but collapse from emotional neglect?How does capitalism shape what we find attractive?What are women risking by trying to fix men who have not faced themselves?Can a mother teach her son to respect women if he only sees her through identity, not presence?Are Black people mistaking patterns and perception for truth?The episode also explores media culture and visibility, with a breakdown of shows like Pop the Balloon. Justin explains why we are stuck in a mirror world, where white supremacist metrics influence Black connection and love becomes a performance loop with no resolution.Whether you are dating, parenting, healing, or simply observing the online chaos between Black men and women, this conversation opens a window into what is really happening beneath the surface. It reveals how much of our relationship pain is rooted in grief, misdirection, and a desperate need to be witnessed instead of fixed.Questions explored in this episode includeWhat is performative love and how does it impact relationships?Why do many Black men struggle to embrace humility?Can women protect themselves without giving up on Black love?Is the content in our feeds keeping us angry on purpose?What does it look like to parent without rushing to a solution?This episode is a call to name what hurts, not to assign blame, but to make space for real repair. If you are ready to think deeper, feel slower, and sit with the discomfort of truth, you are in the right place.About the CreatorJustin ScottInstagram: @this.cypherTikTok: @cypher.jWebsite: https://cypherj.substack.com

Why don't you come with me? I'm going to take us to a cool place…a podcast. In such a place we're becoming a Thieves Guild member, recalling petty crime stories, developing a third ulcer, spanking another bottom, maintaining the fortune teller bit, calling Ramus a “chuckoid,” handing over the blueprints, indulging in floating bug science, encouraging interest in horticulture, bonus dreaming, chilling in a volcano, walking through the flames, and heavily criticizing a dragon's appearance. I'll never be able to understand the criminal mind. 00:00:00 Massage Gun 00:03:39 Intro 00:04:56 Return to Reza 00:11:12 Thieves Bazaar 00:19:20 Lily's Room 00:26:50 Revisiting Burg 00:27:21 Revisiting Meribia 00:27:43 Revisiting Meryod 00:28:12 Iluk - Building the Balloon 00:32:36 Fluffy Bug 00:35:23 Bug Balloon 00:40:01 Balloon Trip 00:40:49 Red Dragon Cave 00:45:20 Bronze Dogs 00:51:06 Red Dragon 00:56:40 Real Net 00:59:13 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com

So you are a typical early 19th Century American type... Is there a dairy scene?  Yes.But are you drinking milk?  Maybe... and probobly only for breakfast.Ok... but is it Raw Milk?  Most likely not.In the early 19th century, most milk products were at least heated (cheese) or outright cooked - almost everything else - or downright boiled - your breakfast milk.Funny thing is, Americans have retained their passion for boiled milk at breakfast.  We just flavor it with coffee and tea now.For more on this and how the evolution of the American Barn got us ready to have Milk Runs on trains, listen in.Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot comThreads: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFood& some other socials... @THoAFood
