What do you get when you have one ant on your kitchen counter? Barely a problem. But, what if you have thousands? What do you get when an empire is organized around the domination of the dragon?

Why can an AuDHD brain create an elaborate plan, color-code the entire week, and still have absolutely no idea what to do first?In this episode of Authentically ADHD, Carmen explores the complicated relationship between AuDHD, executive dysfunction, planning, and prioritizing. For adults with both autism and ADHD, planning is rarely as simple as “make a list” or “choose what is most important.” ADHD may crave novelty, urgency, interest, and immediate rewards, while the autistic brain may need structure, predictability, clarity, and enough time to prepare. The result can feel like two nervous systems arguing over the same calendar while your laundry quietly becomes sentient.Using research and neuroscience, this episode explains how working memory challenges, time blindness, task initiation difficulties, cognitive flexibility, sensory overload, emotional regulation, and nervous-system capacity can make everyday planning feel overwhelming. Carmen also breaks down why AuDHD adults may understand exactly what needs to happen but still struggle to organize the steps, choose a priority, transition into action, or recover when the original plan changes.You'll hear relatable real-life examples, including productive side quests that replace the actual priority, appointments that trigger all-day waiting mode, and perfectly organized schedules that collapse after one small interruption.Most importantly, this episode offers four realistic, neurodivergent-friendly planning strategies: choosing one anchor task, one maintenance task, and one bonus task; turning vague goals into visible next actions; planning around energy, sensory load, and transition costs; and using external supports such as timers, visual reminders, checklists, and body doubling.This episode is for late-diagnosed AuDHD adults, autistic adults with ADHD, neurodivergent people struggling with productivity, and anyone tired of being told that a planner will magically fix their brain.You are not lazy, careless, or failing adulthood. Your brain may simply need planning systems built around its actual wiring—not systems designed for a fictional person with unlimited energy, perfect time awareness, and matching storage containers.

There is a bag sitting in evidence at the Lindsay Clancy trial that both lawyers are going to reach for, and it holds nine prescription bottles that are almost completely full. That bag went into the record on the first day of testimony, entered by the prosecution, in front of the father of the three children who died. Patrick Clancy took the stand as the Commonwealth's opening witness. Prosecutors walked him through the marriage, the three deliveries, the maternity leaves, and the anxiety that arrived every single time his wife had to go back to work as a nurse. Then they handed him the pill bottles. The counts came out one at a time. Seven gone from a Zoloft prescription filled in September of 2022. Six out of thirty gone from an Ativan prescription filled in October. A bottle with two gone, a bottle with three, a bottle that had never been opened at all. Asked whether he knew any of those numbers, he said no, and added that context mattered. Nobody was counting. That is the whole case in one sentence, and both sides know it. This episode takes the exhibit apart and shows you why the state's strongest piece of paperwork might be the defense's too, why the family videos the prosecution played work against the argument they were played to support, and what Patrick Clancy told investigators that eventually sent him to a lawyer's office. It also covers the sentence the state pulled out of him about how his wife seemed the day everything happened, and why a jury of twelve women and six men is going to hear expert testimony fight over those few words for weeks.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Today we are breaking down how one premium DTC brand escaped inefficient bottom-of-funnel spending and scaled without sacrificing efficiency.I'm joined by Ricardo Pouwels, Growth Strategist at Tier 11, to revisit the next chapter of a case study we shared earlier. We unpack how the team expanded from managing only Meta and TikTok to increasing Amazon units sold by 63%, and improving overall customer acquisition efficiency.We'll talk about why brand search campaigns often hide the real performance story, how reallocating budget into Meta, native ads, and connected TV created more demand, and why patience with attribution windows matters. In this episode, you'll learn:- Why brand search campaigns can hide true marketing performance- How cutting Amazon ad spend increased sales volume- The importance of tracking blended CAC and MER- Why channel-specific ROAS targets limit growth- How Meta creates demand that Google and Amazon capture later- Using native advertising to unlock colder audiences- How connected TV supports multi-channel growth- How proactive agency strategy builds client trust- Why mature brands need diversified acquisition channelsMentioned in the Episode: Part 1 of the Case Study: https://perpetualtraffic.com/podcast/episode-791-5-missed-forecasts-then-one-budget-shift-then-4-straight-hits/ Tier 11's Data Suite: https://www.tiereleven.com/what-we-do/data-suitePartner With Tier 11 Marketing Experts: https://www.tiereleven.com/apply Listen to This Episode on Your Favorite Podcast Channel:Follow and listen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/perpetual-traffic/id1022441491 Follow and listen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/59lhtIWHw1XXsRmT5HBAuK Subscribe and watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@perpetual_traffic?sub_confirmation=1We Appreciate Your Support!Visit our website: https://perpetualtraffic.com/ Connect with Ricardo Pouwels: LinkedIn: https://nl.linkedin.com/in/ricardo-pouwels Connect with Ralph Burns: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ralphburns Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ralphhburns/ Hire Tier11 - https://www.tiereleven.com/apply-now Mentioned in this episode:We're opening up sponsorship spots for Q1 and Q2!

We would really have a hard time without them. But here's the thing, they're expensive and an inconvenience to replace. So both of us tend to hang onto them for years and years, even after they get scratched or loosen or we're not loving the way they look anymore. But we're giving the old way of doing things the side eye thanks to Zenni Optical. They're an online eyewear shop with lots of stylish prescription glasses, sunglasses, and customizable lens options, all starting at under $30. Guys, the prices on these glasses are amazing. No more sticker shockI picked the unisex, full-rim black stainless steel square eyeglass frame. I love the way they look. Understated, but stylish. I'm going to use them to read, mostly. As our listeners know, we enjoy reading a lot of crime nonfiction and crime fiction. So my Zenni glasses are going to be put to good use this summer as I seek to drive up the number of books I read. With Zenni, you can buy that special pair of glasses for a particular activity or outfit without driving up your bill. These glasses were only $68, and at most places I've shopped for glasses, I'd expect to pay many times that. Go to Zenni. Their website is great. There's a reason they have 150,000 five-star reviews. On their site, you can pick a frame you like.Use their virtual try-on technology to see how a frame looks on you before buying it. Then enter your prescription. We just dragged and dropped out prescriptions, it was so easy. Then you customize your lenses, and they ship right to you. No hassle. Barely took us any time at all. That scratched up pair has done its job. Upgrade today with Zenni!

Where did our heroes go? This week we saw Anthony Joshua survive two knockdowns to beat Kristian Prenga, and Tim Tszyu defeat Errol Spence Jr in a sad summer pay-per-view. Spence retired after the main event, and Joshua will move into a fight with Tyson Fury, who also fought this weekend (and also looked awful). We talk about Stephen Fulton, the "Cool Boy," missing weight and getting his fight canceled against Liam Wilson, as cool people do. Hamzah Sheeraz looked mid against Simon Zachenhuber. Sheeraz won a vacant title, but are we starting to wonder about his potential and clear favoritism toward his career?  Also, Josh Kelly got his nose busted up, winning a 12-round decision over Caoimhin Agyarko. This week, we have one major card. DAZN in partnership with TNT Sports will return with a lightweight bout between Lamont Roach Jr and William Zepeda. In the co-feature,  Raymond Muratalla will make the first defense of his IBF lightweight title against Robson Conceicao. Other notable bouts include welterweight Raul Curiel versus Quinton Randall, junior middleweight Charles Conwell versus Paul Kroll, and middleweight Fabian Guzman versus Aaron Coley. Joel Iriarte and Dylan Capetillo are prospects featured on this card as well.0:00 Intro1:07 Josh Kelly5:30 Hamzah Sheeraz9:45 Anthony Joshua-Tyson Fury22:20 Tim Tszyu vs Errol Spence34:34 Lamont Roach Jr-William Zepeda41:00 Undercard

Episode 145 - The LA Summer of Sleaze continues with more bed time stories filled with grimy revenge. This week we watch and discuss the cut classic Savage Streets (1984) which stars Linda Blair as a crossbow wielding vixen hell bent on vengeance. The recipient of said vengeance is a local gang headed by the razor blade earringed Robert Dryer. This is the exemplar of sleazy 80's LA cult film and to do it justice we are joined once again by the legendary Barely Ashley. Ashley brings her knowledge of exploitation film as well as a love of cult film to this discussion.

Barely 3 weeks old, the 'Memorandum of Understanding' between the US and Iran appears to have come to an end. The US military is targeting Iranian military and civilian sites daily, while Iran is attacking US bases and other assets across the Middle East. That this is occurring at the same time that Russia's energy exports suffer significantly due to 'Ukrainian' drone waves means the immediate, short-term winner is... American energy companies. Trump wants this of course, and is mindful of...

Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) is much more than a rehab tool.In this episode of Cheeky Mid Weeky, Mark Mitchell shares how he integrates BFR into warm-ups, conditioning, in-season lifting, recovery, and travel.

Cold openWelcome to the Treatment Funhouse…First room. Guy in a jumpsuit, “We gotta strap ya in.” He waves at a chair. “Safety,” he says in a bored voice.So you sit. You really want… something… different in your miserable life.[Brief music]Suddenly he snaps manacles on your wrists.

You gotta find your way out. But…This one's got a horror theme.The sign outside… “23 Mirrored Rooms That Will Change Your Life… Forever!”Never saw that before.So you stand in the long wait line. That, naturally, doubles back on itself. Many times.Finally, you belly up to the barker's ticket window. Start to scan the price board.“125 bucks?” You cry out.“You wanna change yer life, kid? Whatchya think it would cost?”So you sigh. You think…You need… different. You fork over.First room. Guy in a jumpsuit, “We gotta strap ya in.” He waves at the chair. “Safety,” he says in a bored voice.So you sit. You really want… well, something… different in your miserable life.Suddenly, he snaps manacles on your wrists. Then behind you, he grabs a blowtorch.You see this scene reflected in all the mirrors. In detail. Enhanced by all your grisly memories.You protest. “What the actual fuck.”“Trust me. This is the latest research. Sure as hell gonna change your life.” That smile. Thin. Cold. Professional. “We got paying customers outside. Lined up. Waiting to get inside. You in… or out.”You reflect on your miserable life. You nod.Then he slowly, methodically works you over. A light burn here. Another there. Starting at your feet. Working upwards.You scream. You cry. You plead. You evade. You bargain. Not a word out of Jumpsuit Guy.And… the only way you can block out the terror reflected in those mirrors?Close your eyes…He finishes. He unshackles you. Helps you up as you tremble.

Everybody talks about the Meds Room.”Beat.“If you make it there.”musicInterludeOkay, then. A fun little… metaphor. Now… some dark reality. Family… and professionals… tossed off what I was going through in my late teens as “immaturity.” Something I'd age out of.

They Missed Everything.Content note: This is the tough one I mentioned. With the brutal flowers.Look, first of all… This is not the beginning of a poor-me story.This is a story of how I found moments of joy… and darkness… in my autistic life. Like Leonard Cohen sang in Suzanne, “among the garbage and the flowers.”But I found dark humor... every where.1972 was a hell of a summer… Room 1I first sought a diagnosis at 19. Following suicide attempt #1.I was driving after dark. Which I wasn't supposed to do… new family rule.See, I'd damaged our car the week before, making a hasty turn into our driveway near Jumping Deer Road in Katonah. Hit the damn stone wall on the way in.This was Westchester County, NY. Local code only allowed a nano break between the 18th-Century stones guarding our yard. Colonial heritage or something… masking slave labor.I'm in the doghouse. With parents already skeptical about letting me go to college. Not “mature” enough.Yet, when the hood and fender are finally fixed? They drop me off on a muggy, hazy June night. Out in the boonies at the old Amawak Service Center on Route 202.“Pick it up and bring it home. No side stops.” Then they instruct me, “Be… careful.” Rolling their collective 4 eyes.I pull out, then wait. The light's gotta change at the 4-lane intersection with Route 35 before I can head home.The light turns green. I go into a weird space in my head. There's… there's some reason I shouldn't turn left… yet… But I watch myself shrug, flick my signal switch, and turn. Right into two lanes of accelerating traffic coming right at me.Don't remember much more. Just the red, don't-turn-yet-idiot arrow. Staring at me brightly… through the windshield that used to be there.I survived. That classic, white 1965 Mustang… didn't. Barely street legal, 271-horse V8 under the hood. Maybe the most collectible American car of all time.A hand-me-down gift to our family from my father's father. Who bragged, “I had to jew the dealer down from 5 grand,” back when he bought it new in '65. A lot of money then.Um, things got tense at home.“You are responsible for your own actions. You are the cause here.”Parental meeting time.“Uh, I don't know what happened.” I couldn't stand these “meetings.” So many in my childhood. This was maybe the worst of all.“I don't know. It… it... just happened.”Making my parents even more furious. These were avid Ayn Rand readers. And my grandfather? He slept beside an orderly nightstand. Mein Kampf tucked tightly in its tidy drawer. My dead father's voice echoes coldly in my mind still. “You are responsible for your own actions. You are the cause here.” But, I stumble on. Making things worse… in my way.“Something's wrong. I don't know what. I'm having horrible visions. Hitting people with the car as I drive by. Hitting their bodies… bones…” I trail off. Into stony silence, I say, “And now something weird happened. I think… I think… maybe I should see a doctor…”Next thing I know, I'm sitting in front of a Westchester County caseworker. Cuz my parents felt a psychologist or private therapist cost too much.I had no idea what I was feeling… much less why.The intake experience was horrific.I felt… badgered.She called it… delicately. “Maybe the accident looked like an attempt to… maybe… harm yourself?” But she continued with a sledgehammer.“I know you have a secret you want to tell me.” Rinse, repeat… Rinse, repeat…I wanted so badly to please her. But had no idea what I was feeling… much less why.Worse yet? There were things I didn't want to tell her. Darker than the physical or sexual abuse she was probably check-listing. Things a traumatized kid might do… himself.I never went back. I told my parents I was uncomfortable talking to her.My dad rocked back in his dark, maple, Early American dining room chair. “Fine. That's your choice.”He paused. Looking directly at my mother as he said to me, “I can see you won't speak to this counselor. I see no reason to look for another for you to talk to. Your decision.”And that was that.We were all dying for freedom.Finally at 63, a psychologist specializing in autism gave me another name, Alexithymia.He said a lot of autistics can know something is wrong. But not know what. And baptized me, Autism Spectrum Disorder… with a side of ADHD.2016 was a good year. A damn fine year.But 1972 was a summer from hell.The last US troops shipped home, fleeing Viet Nam. Palestinians massacred Israelis at the Olympics. My father died that August. The week after he molested me for the last time.We were all dying for freedom.[music]Cuz… if you don't know us… how ya gonna love us.InterludeOkay. Here's the last frag I toss… today. Let's end with joyful moments. Among the dark. Let's end with survival.See, I'm giving you these fragments of my life…Cuz… if you don't know us… how ya gonna love us.And this is part of me, too…[music]I Don't Think I Had a “Personality” as a KidI was busy finding Infinity in a burnt-off ant leg…This one brings home the stakes.The moments of joy along the way… that drew a line under what could have been. Not if they fixed me. But maybe what all of our children could be.If we just listen to them. And support what they say they need.“What are you doing…?”My mother's voice was sharp.I'm lying spreadeagled on the backyard grass, face down.“I've called you three times.” Annoyed. “WHAT are you doing…?”I don't know it in Second Grade… But I have difficulties shifting attention when I'm lost in thought…I try to focus my ears…Then think back,review my short-term memory,and replay the last few moments.Trying to hear and translate anything she might have said while I'm in my private thought bubble…Already at 7, this process of “rehearsing” or “rewinding the tape” to interpret what's going on? It's an automatic, constant routine when I'm around… well, people.Checking for verbal mistakes, missed cues… Just trying to understand, what's going on…?So I'm still trying to sort it out,choose words carefully to explain,clearing my throat,moving my sleeping tongue,loosening my jaw,getting ready to speak…“HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!”“Umm… Nothing…?” Close as I come to a lie at that age.I've been lying in the grass for an hour or so, exploring with my new magnifying glass.See, there was this great hobby shop in Johnson City. It had all kinds of cool science “toys.” And I had saved my 50-cent allowance for weeks to buy a “Real, hand-held, magnifying glass  —  made with ALL-METAL handle!!”I was entranced.Examining grass leaves, dew drops, and…Ants.Dozens of ants. One after another.Legs.Antennae.Mandibles.Eyes.Guiltily burning off the occasional leg with focused sunlight…Endless fascination…I was in the flow…“Okay. Whatever you are doing…” I wait for the command I know will end my timeless bliss… “Stop doing it. It's time for lunch.”I sigh. Roll over.And. Trudge. In.Hardly sounds like abuse, right…..??Imagine that last, delicious dream you're enjoying as you drowse in a warm snuggly bed… when you don't have to get up…My autistic joys are hard to explain to another person.Pretty much ANY non-autistic person.And trying to… drags me into Deep Philosophical Waters…Imagine that last, delicious dream you're enjoying as you drowse in a warm snuggly bed on a lazy Saturday morning when you don't have to get up…And someone screams, “GET UP!”Eyes pop open. Instantly. You're so startled, for a minute… you have no idea where you are, what you're doing, the time of day, the season…Now… imagine that… if you can…Every. Damn. Day. Many, many, MANY times a day… Every single day of your childhood.Torture.Being startled out of the flow? It's like that.Capisce? Ya dig? Feel me?That's as close as I can think of to explain my moments of autistic flow.Or, better yet, my autistic joys.That same joy you seeon an autistic kid's faceas he dances endlesslyin a sprinkler in the sun…If I had to guess, this is precisely what Being in the Moment, in the Now, maybe even Zen Satori…Mean.Gradually as I aged, these blissful moments became fewer and fewer…Now, that's all preamble to what I really wanna talk about…Here's the deal on Flow…I think that's where I spent most of my time as a young kid.When I wasn't interacting with family, a few schoolmates, parents, one teacher a year… the few humans I let into my life back then.And that time alone… Endlessly exploring, learning, feeling, being… was…Wordless delight.Gradually as I aged, these blissful moments became fewer and fewer… further and further and further apart… nearly gone…First, I was forced into a school system… That I was clearly not wired for.Rigid.Lockstep.Regimented.Regulated.BORING.No Free Time.To simply… explore.Later, of course, it got MUCH worse. Jobs, relationships, finances… Life in Modern Adult America.Like when I founded Unix World magazine. I was so high on the concept and the joy of process… My inner vision won us awards our first year. Western Publishing Association Best New Publication and Best Issue. Beating out Macworld and PC World.Yeah. We won awards. A couple months after I was fired from my own mag. Fired because… in my autistic mind… the game was Create the Most Amazing Publication… Ever.But the whole time, the world was shouting that it was Make the Most Money You Can… Right Now.Snake eyes. I lost.My natural state, left alone to my own devices? Wandering from moment to moment of… fascination.Now, I have some personal speculation to get off my chest.First… I don't think I had a native personality when I was a kid…At least not as bell-curve average humans understand a personality.My natural state, left alone to my own devices? Wandering from moment to moment of fascination. No motivations. No intentions. No (verbal) thought…So… I was either happy exploring in the fields… or with my chemistry set in the basement… or catching polliwogs in Spring pools…Or I was forced to don my “personality.”In other words,the language,facial expressions,body language,polite responses,social lies,and predictable actionsthat humans think of as “personality”…and that social contact demands.Which is so natural for most humans, they aren't even aware of it.Even though they must have it from me… to feel safe.But, for me, “personality” was likebeing dragged out of my comfy pajamas,forced intothe worst, most cumbersome, restrictive, awkward, embarrassing winter coat,ear muffs,muffler,heavy snow boots,and mittensyour mother ever stuffed you intoto shove you onto that bus to kindergarten…And “personality” still is suffocating. Today. In my 70s. Ten years after diagnosed as autistic and ADHD.Especially, “fun times”… They're the real killers.Parties.Intimate conversations…Shudder... Family holidays? So nightmarish, I wrote the 7-page narrative poem sneaking my mother's creepy g-d on high.These are all times I must adopt my “personality.” You know, to survive. No matter how much “fun” they're supposed to be.What pros call “masking”? Really nothing more than exhausting habits of behavior & speech. That I must shroud myself in. Like an embalmed mummy. Just so it's easy for other humans… to feel “comfortable” around me.Not an essential Self. Just, ya know, “personality.”Certainly not me. Nothing comfortable about it.I'm going to hazard a guess.Which may be narcissistic delusion… Flow seems awfully close to what the Buddha described as experiencing “no-self” vs. the “conditioned mind.”From at least age 2 on, I clearly remember lucid dreaming and long periods of time spent without verbal thought of any kind. Just perceiving, in awe and wonder…EVERYTHING.Until I had to interact with humans. Any humans. Even those I was required… to “love.”And donning the “personality”? The joy collapsed. Fast as a quantum waveform when you try to measure it. Not into pain…Collapsing into an all-absorbing effort.Intellectualizing every word,gesture,tone of voice of my own…Then interpreting all those of each and every human I was with at the time…and THEN determining precisely the right word,tone of voice,facial expression,and body attitude to project back…all at the same timeTo avoid being in trouble.Because I was… Bad.And I had to protect everyone around me from that.Every. Single. Second…And even at a young age, a growing sense of the need to protect others…From me.Because I was different. Because I hurt people without understanding. Because I acted as if I were “arrogant”… etc., etc.Like two divorces. Cuz I could be amazing for 3 to 6 months. Caring. Fun as hell. Then fall into deep depressions and work burnouts. Cuz I couldn't handle that much intimacy. Hell, that much time alone with another human…Because I was… Bad.And I had to protect everyone around me from that.Every. Single. Second… That I am with another human.Except very young children. And of course, animals… Since I was… 4 years old.Now since diagnosis, I found a few tricks.In 2019 when I first started writing about my autism, I was all about lists. Trying to “help” others. Took me a year or two to realize we are… every one of us autists… different. Different lives. Different needs and goals. Different survival skills.So I'm only an “expert” on my own life. Even if I am the only expert on that there is.Your mileage certainly will vary.But for me? My autistic life is not about “getting better.” Or fixing me. It's about knowing who I truly am. And what I truly need. Doing what I can to meet those needs.Then being… me.So I moved to the Country…Living in the trailer across the courtyardFrom my third, loving wifeWhere I can reduce sensory overload.Reduce the number of humans I talk with To only folks I feel comfortable around.And stopped failing at jobs I was never built to do.But I… now… can pursue those things that have brought me joy since childhood.Spending unstructured, unmeasured time on any of my passions…walking in the wildest Nature I have access to,baking bread,fermenting pickles,gardening,deep-focus while replaying a favorite movie… that seventh time,illustrating,writing,playing music,researching world events….so, so many others.When I pursue a “special interest”… alone? Sometimes it's nearly orgasmic… In fact, I've redefined my understanding of my passions.They're not a forbidden pleasure. A shameful quirk. Something I “waste time on” when there's nothing more important to do.They are my gateway to Bliss, Satori, Oneness… Maybe even whatever God is… or Isn't…I'm not talking toxic positivity. My autistic joys aren't some advanced spiritual state I've achieved in my 70s. And now, suddenly… I'm here to tell you how to make everything okay. And talk you into buying your 5th NEW self-help system on the way out the door.But my joys are moments of love and happiness sprinkled through most of my days. Between meltdowns and burnouts. And some average life.They are my reason for Being.There are just NOT 7 Easy Things that Successful Autistics Do…That Will Change My Life Forever.There's just living complex… and in the end… wild autistic life.being old & autistic ain't so bad.losing inhibitions.some of which protected me from…Life.freedom turns out to be pain…and joy…in superposition.until maybe they annihilate you.Notes from the bardobefore the bardoI learned a lot that Spring afternoon on the lawn in Johnson City.I saw Infinity in a burnt-off ant leg.And, eventually… I went for it.[music]OutroNow you know.

How often do you find yourself rushing… even when nothing is actually wrong? You're hurrying your kids to get in the car. Speed-walking through the grocery store. Eating lunch while answering emails. Counting down to Friday. Thinking, "I just need to get through today." Somewhere along the way, I think we've started treating ordinary life like it's an emergency. I started saying these 5 words to myself... "This is not an emergency." Today we're going to talk about how to stop living like every single thing is on fire... ...because it isn't. And when you start reminding yourself that this isn't an emergency... you don't just become calmer… you become happier overall.        We Have Accidentally Turned Everyday Life Into An Emergency Think about how many times today you probably said... "Hurry." "We're late." "Come on." "We don't have time." "Let's go." Most of us are moving at emergency speed... ...without an emergency.   Ask yourself... If someone watched security camera footage of my life... would they think I was constantly responding to disasters? Or just making breakfast? Because sometimes they look exactly the same.       Examples We Rush Through Every Day Getting kids ready for school Instead of... "Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!" Imagine saying internally... "This isn't an emergency." Will they still get dressed? Yes. Will yelling make it faster? Usually not. But it definitely changes everyone's morning.     Waiting in line We immediately grab our phones. Complain. Get frustrated. Instead... "This isn't an emergency." Maybe it's two extra minutes. Maybe this becomes your breathing break.   Traffic Somebody cuts you off. You're late. Heart rate skyrockets. Except... You arriving thirty seconds sooner changes almost nothing.     Grocery shopping People rush aisle to aisle. Barely noticing anyone. Never smiling. Never enjoying choosing food they'll feed their family. Life becomes one giant checklist.       Cleaning your house Instead of... "I have to get this done." Try... "I GET to create a home my family enjoys." Same task. Different experience.       Folding laundry Jay Shetty often talks about mindfulness inside ordinary moments. Laundry isn't stealing your life. Laundry IS your life. These ordinary moments ARE your life.       The "Can't Wait Until..." Trap This one is huge. People spend decades saying... "I can't wait until..." The baby sleeps through the night. They're potty trained. They're in kindergarten. Middle school. High school. College. Retirement. Vacation. Friday. Summer. The remodel is finished. When we finally move. When the house is clean. When I lose twenty pounds. Jay Shetty talks often about how our minds live in the future... and miss the only place life actually exists. Today.       What If This Was The Good Part? This might be the chapter you'll miss someday. The noisy dinner table. Little baseball cleats by the door. Teenagers asking for rides. Kids needing hugs. Messy kitchens. Dog hair everywhere. The chaos... might actually be the dream.       Looking For What's Wrong One thing I've noticed... When we're rushing... our brain becomes a problem detector. Traffic. Mess. Noise. Delays. People moving too slowly. Bad service. Rain. We're constantly scanning for irritation. Instead... What if we asked... What's beautiful about this moment? What would I miss if this disappeared tomorrow?   The Brain Finds What It Looks For If you're looking for inconvenience... you'll always find it. If you're looking for joy... you'll find that too. This is something both Mel Robbins and Jay Shetty return to in different ways: attention shapes experience. You don't control every circumstance, but you do have influence over where your mind rests.   Different Phases Of Life Young parents Instead of... "I just need bedtime." Think... "This little voice asking for one more story won't last forever."   Parents of teenagers Instead of... "I can't wait until they're independent." Think... "One day they'll stop needing me this much."   Working professionals Instead of rushing meeting to meeting... Take thirty seconds. Breathe. Drink your coffee while it's hot. Look out the window. Nothing explodes.   Entrepreneurs Everything feels urgent. Every email. Every customer. Every notification. Every opportunity. But if we're honest... very few business decisions require panic. Good businesses are built through consistent decisions... not frantic ones.       Questions To Ask Yourself Whenever you feel yourself speeding up... Ask: Is someone in danger? Is this actually urgent? Will this matter next week? Can I slow my breathing? Can I speak softer? Can I smile? Can I enjoy this? Can I choose peace instead?   My Favorite Reset Whenever I notice myself getting worked up... I literally say... "This is not an emergency." Sometimes out loud. Immediately... My shoulders drop. My breathing slows. My voice softens. I become a better mom. A better wife. A better friend. A better business owner. Not because my circumstances changed... but because my nervous system changed.   Tiny Moments That Become Better Waiting for your coffee. Watching your child tie their shoes. Cooking dinner. Folding towels. Driving to volleyball practice. Standing in line at Disneyland. Watching Little League warmups. Listening to your teenager tell a story that takes forever. Walking your dog. Sunsets. Rainstorms. Family dinners. These moments don't need to be escaped. They're the moments we're going to remember.   CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK This week... Every single time you notice yourself rushing... Pause. Take one deep breath. And simply say... "This isn't an emergency." Then intentionally slow down by just 10%. Walk slower. Talk slower. Eat slower. Drive calmer. Listen longer. Smile more. You might be surprised how much life you discover in those extra few seconds.     Life isn't usually asking us to move faster. It's asking us to be more present. The irony is that we spend so much of life racing toward the future... that we barely experience the life we're actually living. So this week... Give yourself one simple reminder. "This is not an emergency." Because most of the time... it isn't. And when you stop treating ordinary moments like crises... those ordinary moments become extraordinary. I hope this episode helps you slow down & enjoy the beautiful life you're already living.

“The biggest risk in motion pictures is to not take a risk. You have to be putting it out there and offering people something new, and that's what will get them out of their houses.”Katie Razzall speaks to Oscar-winning filmmaker Christopher Nolan. The 55-year-old, whose directing credits include Inception, Interstellar and Oppenheimer, is widely considered one of the 21st century's most influential filmmakers.Born in London in 1970, his career began in the mid-1990s, when he would proofread scripts, operate cameras and direct for corporate information films. Barely a decade later, he was chosen to direct Christian Bale as Batman in The Dark Knight trilogy, setting a new standard for how superheroes were portrayed on screen.A string of blockbusters followed, making him one of the highest-grossing directors of all time, and was later knighted in 2024 for his services to film.He's now releasing his latest project, The Odyssey - an ambitious adaptation of Homer's ancient Greek story, starring a Hollywood A-List cast, including Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway and Zendaya.Thank you to the Culture team for their help in making this programme.

Nancy Guthrie is still missing six months later, but a separate criminal case connected to her disappearance just came to an end. A California man pleaded guilty to sending the Guthrie family fake bitcoin ransom demands while the active search for her was still underway. The reason people are angry is the outcome. His charge was pled down to harassment, capped at two years in the federal system, and he ultimately received five years of probation, with both counts running together instead of being stacked. Retired FBI special agent Jennifer Coffindaffer called it a travesty, warning the sentence could set a precedent that emboldens the wave of copycat notes still coming in — a group being called the TMZ Twelve, which the FBI has reportedly suggested are likely not authentic. Two separate notes are being treated very differently by investigators. One demanded four million dollars, threatened to raise it to six million, and warned Nancy would be killed. The other is an apology letter, sent only to local television stations, expressing remorse and calling her death an accident. Both are reportedly linked to the same IP address, which investigators consider one of the strongest leads they have. There's also the mystery of Porch Guy, someone connected to the case who hasn't been publicly identified or arrested, despite legal tools used successfully in other investigations that could help track him down faster. We break down the sentence, the notes, and where this investigation actually stands. New episode is up now — link below. Social Links & Legal Footer Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Barely weeks after the United States and Iran signed the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, an interim deal intended to end hostilities and create a framework for a broader settlement, the agreement is in jeopardy.美伊签署《伊斯兰堡谅解备忘录》仅数周，这份旨在停止敌对行动、为达成全面解决方案搭建框架的临时协议如今已岌岌可危。The immediate trigger appears to have been disputes over the interpretation of the MoU's provisions governing navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. Yet the renewed confrontation is not simply another chapter in the rivalry between Washington and Tehran. It has evolved into a three-party strategic contest in which Tel Aviv's calculations also influence the pace and direction of events.此次危机最直接的导火索，似乎是双方对备忘录中霍尔木兹海峡通航条款的解释存在分歧。然而，这场重新燃起的对峙已不再是美伊双边博弈的简单延续，而是演变成了一场三方战略较量，其中特拉维夫的考量同样在左右着局势发展的节奏与走向。Israel has never concealed its willingness to prevent any US-Iran accommodation. From its perspective, even a temporary understanding risks reducing pressure on Tehran while leaving "unresolved concerns" over Iran's regional influence and nuclear issue. Recent reports suggest that Tel Aviv has been "coordinating" with Washington while simultaneously warning Tehran against retaliation. Israel's strategic intentions differ from those of parties seeking to preserve regional stability.以色列从未掩饰其阻挠美伊达成任何和解的意图。从其视角来看，即便是临时性的谅解，也可能减轻对德黑兰的压力，而伊朗的地区影响力与核问题等"核心关切"却依旧悬而未决。近期报道显示，特拉维夫在表面上与华盛顿"协调"的同时，也在私下警告伊朗不得采取报复行动。以色列的战略诉求，显然与那些致力于维护地区稳定的各方存在显著不同。This matters because the MoU was always less a peace agreement than a ceasefire held together by political convenience. It rested upon ambiguous language, diverging strategic objectives and fragile domestic calculations on both sides. Such pacts survive only when all parties concerned possess strong incentives to preserve them. That condition is disappearing.这一态势值得警惕，因为这份备忘录本质上并非和平协定，而更像是一份依赖各方现实政治利益而维系的停火安排。它建立在模糊的措辞、相互背离的战略目标以及双方各自脆弱的国内政治算计之上。此类协定得以存续的唯一前提，是所有相关方都拥有强烈的维护动机。而如今，这一前提正在消失。Washington's own calculations illustrate why. The US administration continues to face conflicting pressures. Military restraint satisfies voters weary of endless Middle Eastern crises. Yet any perceived concession toward Iran invites fierce criticism from domestic hawks. Rising oil prices threaten inflation, consumer confidence and electoral prospects, while renewed military action risks producing precisely the energy shock that the earlier agreement sought to prevent. Unsurprisingly, Washington has simultaneously resumed military operations while signaling its willingness to return to negotiations — an apparent contradiction that reflects political necessity rather than strategic coherence.美国自身的处境恰恰说明了这一点。美国政府持续承受着方向矛盾的内部压力：军事上的克制，能迎合厌倦了中东无休止危机的选民；但只要有任何被视为对伊朗让步的举动，又会招致国内鹰派的猛烈抨击。油价上涨会加剧通胀、打击消费信心并影响选情，但重启军事行动又极可能引发此前协议力图避免的能源市场震荡。因此，我们看到美方在恢复军事行动的同时，又释放出愿重返谈判的信号——这种看似矛盾的做法，反映的是国内政治妥协的现实，而非连贯一致的战略逻辑。Military force has repeatedly demonstrated its limitations. Months of strikes have neither fundamentally altered Iran's strategic judgments nor produced a durable diplomatic breakthrough. Instead, every exchange of missiles further erodes trust while increasing the probability that a miscalculation or third-party action could trigger a broader regional war.军事手段的局限性已反复得到验证。持续数月的打击，既未能从根本上改变伊朗的战略判断，也未能促成持久的外交突破。相反，每一轮导弹交锋都在进一步侵蚀双方互信，同时增加了因误判或第三方介入而引爆更大范围地区战争的风险。Energy markets understand this reality better than politicians. The world's consumers ultimately finance every failure of diplomacy in the Middle East. That is why the greatest danger today lies not merely in renewed hostilities but in the gradual normalization of perpetual low-intensity conflict. If the MoU collapses without a credible diplomatic successor, the region risks settling into a familiar yet dangerous equilibrium: intermittent strikes, periodic retaliation, disrupted shipping lanes and repeated diplomatic resets that never address the underlying disputes. Such instability benefits few beyond those who profit politically or economically from permanent confrontation.能源市场比政客们更清楚这一现实：中东外交的每一次失败，其最终账单都将由全球消费者来支付。正因如此，当今最大的危险不仅在于冲突的重启，而在于长期低烈度冲突的逐渐常态化。若这份备忘录最终失效，而又无可靠的外交替代方案，该地区或将陷入一种熟悉却危险的循环：间歇性的打击、周期性的报复、受阻的航道，以及从未触及核心矛盾、徒劳重启的外交进程。这种动荡局面，最终只会让那些从永久对抗中获取政治或经济利益的少数群体受益。As China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations Sun Lei stressed at a UN Security Council briefing on the Iranian nuclear issue on Friday, a ceasefire and cessation of hostilities must hold in the Gulf.正如中国常驻联合国副代表孙磊周五在联合国安理会伊朗核问题通报会上所强调的，海湾地区必须维持停火，终止一切敌对行动。"China urges all relevant parties to overcome disruptive factors, refrain from the use or threat of force, preserve and implement the MoU, reach a solution that accommodates the concerns of all parties, lift the sanctions against Iran at an early date, and achieve substantive progress in the political settlement process," Sun said.孙磊表示："中方敦促相关各方排除干扰因素，避免使用或威胁使用武力，维护并落实这份谅解备忘录，寻求兼顾各方关切的解决方案，尽早解除对伊朗制裁，推动政治解决进程取得实质性进展。"The proper settlement of the Iran nuclear issue must respect the legitimate aspirations and lawful rights and interests of the parties concerned. Iran should continue to uphold its commitment not to develop nuclear weapons. As a non-nuclear-weapon state party to the Non-Proliferation Treaty, Iran enjoys the legitimate right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy. The US should take concrete actions to create conditions for the political settlement of the Iran nuclear issue, Sun added.孙磊补充指出，妥善解决伊朗核问题，必须尊重相关各方的合理诉求与合法权益。伊朗应继续恪守不发展核武器的承诺；作为《不扩散核武器条约》的无核武器缔约国，伊朗拥有和平利用核能的正当权利。美方应采取切实行动，为伊朗核问题的政治解决创造有利条件。The Middle East has accumulated more than enough examples of wars that were easier to begin than to end. Another prolonged US-Iran confrontation will not produce a decisive winner. It will only weaken regional security, unsettle global markets, burden already strained economies and deepen divisions throughout the international system.中东地区已有太多"易战难和"的前车之鉴。美伊若再度陷入长期对峙，不会有绝对的赢家，其结果只会削弱地区安全根基、扰乱全球市场、加重各国本已承压的经济，并加剧国际体系的分裂。The choice confronting related parties is therefore stark. They can allow strategic mistrust, domestic politics and regional rivalries to dismantle an imperfect but valuable diplomatic opening. Or they can recognize that however unsatisfactory the MoU may have been, its implementation remains infinitely preferable to another round of instability. Even a fragile peace is always better than permanent war.因此，摆在相关方面前的抉择是清晰的：是任由战略猜忌、国内政治与地区竞争，摧毁这个虽不完美却弥足珍贵的外交窗口；还是认识到，无论这份备忘录有多少不足，落实它都远比再次滑入动荡要可取。毕竟，再脆弱的和平，也胜过无休止的战争。The world should not have to relearn that lesson yet again.世界各国不应再一次亲身验证这一道理。peace /piːs/ 和平war /wɔːr/ 战争choice /tʃɔɪs/ 抉择stability /stəˈbɪləti/ 稳定

Democrat socialist candidates have won 36 primaries so far, and are promising Americans will barely notice socialism, and also that they'll love it. Their campaign sounds eerily like what Venezuelans were promised. Also, what these key strikes in Iran tell us. (Please subscribe & share.)

Who am I? That was the question Glenda kept asking herself when she first moved from Costa Rica to the US. She was not able to communicate and felt terrified to even answer the phone or turn on her camera in a video call. In this conversation, my student Glenda shares her journey from feeling powerless and dependent on her husband for everything, to building her own dog training business, hosting conversation groups and book clubs, and now raising her daughter… all in English :)  I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did ♥️

What if the reason your content feels exhausting isn't that you're doing it wrong, but that the entire platform was built to make you disappear the moment you stop feeding it? This week I'm talking with Holly Haynes, who built a seven-figure business while barely touching social media. She calls it the antisocial strategy, which is a bit of a joke, because what she does is deeply social. It's just not the scroll. We get into her three-part model of a long-form home base, an email engine, and a visibility engine, and why leads from that ecosystem convert faster than anything coming cold from an ad. We also go deep on the part that's newly urgent: how SEO and the emerging GEO side of things get you recommended by AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude when people search for answers, and how Holly uses AI to repurpose her work without flattening her voice into the generic content you can smell from a mile away. She runs all of it in about 20 hours a week, with twin daughters and a family rule about a real vacation every quarter. If you're burnt out chasing an algorithm that forgets you exist the second you log off, this conversation lays out a steadier way to be found. Timeline Highlights [05:14] – What the antisocial strategy actually is, and why "antisocial" is very social [05:25] – Losing 20,000 followers to a hack, and the data that changed Holly's whole approach [09:47] – Why this is the OG method: blogs, newsletters, and long-form content coming back [09:47] – The three-part model: home base, email engine, visibility engine [12:21] – How inbound search became Holly's number two lead source, behind podcasting [16:01] – Picking two topics and staying in your lane so AI and humans both know what you're known for [18:05] – The "moments document" and why personal stories outperform dry how-to content [20:13] – Starting with your words first, then AI, and building a skill to catch what sounds like AI [24:54] – Auditing where sales actually come from, and turning off leaky funnels [44:44] – The first steps out of the social media hamster wheel Top Quotes from the Episode "When I looked at my data, 71% of my sales were coming from email. So why was I spending all that time making reels for nothing?" "A healthy business is one that isn't reliant on social media, and there are so many cool ways to do that now." "People aren't really scrolling for answers anymore. They open whatever AI app they use and ask it a question, and we want our information to pop up." "It starts with my words. I may run them through Claude for show notes or a title, but the raw material is always me." "I would so much rather have valuable long-form content that lasts a long time than 27 pieces of little content that aren't doing anything." "Pick one visibility channel and try it for 90 days, because this is a long-term strategy. It takes a minute."

This week on Look Forward we break down the political earthquake in New York; all three Mamdani-backed DSA candidates swept their congressional primaries, unseating establishment Democrats Adriano Espaillat and Dan Goldman. Attendees at Claire Valdez's victory party chanted "You're next" as Hakeem Jeffries appeared on screen. House Democrats are now in open panic over whether the socialist wing is taking over the party, while Mamdani declared "this was not the end of a political movement, it was the beginning." We also cover DSA member Melat Kiros' win in Colorado and her reason for unseating a long standing progressive Democrat.The Supreme Court barely upheld the 14th Amendment's birthright citizenship guarantee while simultaneously ruling states can exclude transgender athletes from girls' and women's sports and barely preserving vote-by-mail against a GOP challenge. Senator Thom Tillis declared the SAVE Act dead, even as Republicans privately fear Trump will weaponize it after a possible midterm election loss. New reporting reveals Trump has profited massively from the presidency in year one. Plus: is Trump considering institutionalizing disabled Americans?And in "you can't make this up" news: a 67-year-old former Olympian was indicted on a FELONY for allegedly touching the water in Trump's $14 million Reflecting Pool disaster. His lawyer: "It is not a crime in America to touch water." We cover the Democratic Socialist sweep, SCOTUS split decisions, and the government's unhinged overreach.Look Forward is a weekly progressive political podcast covering U.S. politics, government policy, Democratic strategy, elections, voting rights, Supreme Court rulings, and political news.

#972 Ever wonder how a six-figure creator runs two businesses while letting AI handle the heavy lifting? In part 1 of this 2-part episode hosted by Brogan Williams, Destini Copp pulls back the curtain on exactly how she's doing it. Destini shares how she uses Claude, MCP connectors, and tools like Kit and ThriveCart to automate sales pages, emails, and event marketing, cutting what used to take hours down to minutes. She also breaks down her Creator's Growth Flywheel, a proven customer journey framework that takes audiences from total strangers to raving advocates, and explains why "modern lead magnets" like diagnostic tools and calculators are replacing the outdated PDF download. Whether you're just starting out or scaling an existing digital product business, this conversation is packed with practical AI strategies you can implement today!

#973 What does it actually look like to build a business you could sell for six figures a month — without being the one doing the work? In part 2 of this 2-part episode hosted by Brogan Williams, Destini Copp gets candid about the strategic decisions behind her growth, from cutting a beloved Shopify store and ditching Pinterest to focusing her energy where it actually moves the needle. She dives deeper into the Creator's Growth Flywheel, sharing real-world advice on lead magnets, why speaking at virtual summits beats one-on-one outreach, and why you shouldn't be afraid to start selling almost immediately. Destini also opens up about her plan to sell Hobby School, the failed experiments that taught her the most, and how she keeps imposter syndrome at bay by guarding her inputs and staying focused. It's an honest, tactical conversation for anyone building a business — and a life — they can eventually step back from! What we discuss with Destini: + Why she cut her Shopify store + Ditching Pinterest as a traffic source + Speaking at summits vs. one-on-one demos + Building a lead magnet that converts + Why you should start selling immediately + Building Hobby School into a sellable asset + Her 2027 exit timeline + Corporate sponsorships: a hard sell + Lessons from failed lead magnets and events + Beating imposter syndrome by guarding her inputs Thank you, Destini!

In today's episode, Dr. Alison reflects on David's honest prayer: “My spirit fails.” This is not a polished prayer or a failure of faith. It is a truthful prayer from a depleted soul. If you're still functioning on the outside but feel dry, drained, or quietly unraveling on the inside, this passage gives you language for coming to God exactly as you are. We explore: *Why depletion is not laziness or spiritual failure *How emotional exhaustion impacts your nervous system *What actually helps restore us *Next steps to take when you're feeling depleted Go Deeper: If today's devotion helped you feel less alone, share it with someone who might need the same encouragement.

Patrick Bet-David reacts to reports that the FBI foiled an alleged terror plot targeting Trump's UFC event at the White House. Authorities say the suspects planned to use explosive drones, sniper teams, and a coordinated breach during the chaos. Why isn't this one of the biggest stories in America?

Mike joined Chris Cillizza on Substack Live where they analyzed why California takes so long to count ballots, detailing how logistics and funding create a perception of dysfunction rather than deliberate corruption. They also dove into a recent Pew poll finding that Americans unique globally dislike their fellow countrymen, tracing this data to cultural polarization and strict two-party sorting. Finally, breaking down why the actual power of U.S. military and technological capacity historically outlasts its moral reputation abroad.
