Podcasts about Barrier

In this week's Outspoken Review I've finally found the ultimate natural deoderant that smells delightful and really works.I'm also talking about a great Barrier cream, an eye cream recommended by my favourite aesthetician and more.

Best-selling author and time management coach Elizabeth Saunders explains why more input doesn't equal more busy, and shares ways to expertly manage email, use text expanders, define "time investment", and get clarity from your calendar, plus breaks down techniques like the I.N.O. method, and priority-based decision making.

Lower the barrier. Getting started is hard

Frank Hurricane is much more that just a songwriter or spiritual soothsayer; he's a psychedelic pirate manning the ancient waters under the splintered sun's biblical breast. Like some cosmic character from J.M. Barrier's 1904 masterpiece "Peter Pan", Hurricane's artistic approach to life and his work are rare these days, as everything has been melted down into this galactic goop for social media, and the poisonous pull that is has on our senses and judgement of people, places, and things. While we're making sure our posts are boosted and targeting our direct audience, you can find Hurricane riding shotgun on some of the most epic roller coasters across America as we take a much-needed spiritual journey with the musician and the colorfully capticating universe of atmospheric adrenaline he has created for an audience that he calls "Shrymps". His latest effort, "Southern Shrymp (In the Big City), which is set for release later this month on the Half Moon Bay, CA-based label Nudie Records, tells a tale of a young man on a quest in search of holy harmonies, exquisite experiences, and the songbook for spiritual survival in a world filled with chaos, and endless existentialism.

In this episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely sits down with Dr. Mireille Vega—the chemist and former biotech executive known to many as Dr. Mimi V—for a conversation that completely reframes how we think about our skin. Moving far beyond typical beauty chatter, Dr. Mimi shares her unique philosophy of Skin Science 3.0, a paradigm that treats the skin not as a simple surface to be treated, but as a dynamic, living system. Drawing on her extensive background in immunology and oncology, as well as profound personal experiences, Dr. Mimi V explains why the standard, symptom-focused approach to skincare is often working against us. She guides listeners through the intricate world of the skin's ecosystem, detailing the critical interplay between the skin barrier and its microbiome. Listeners will learn the vital difference between simply treating a breakout and truly supporting the skin's function to build lasting resilience. Dr. Mimi V offers a masterclass in listening to what our skin is telling us, emphasizing that a "squeaky clean" feeling is often a sign of distress. This episode is a powerful invitation to shift from a mindset of correction to one of genuine support, empowering women to trust their skin's innate intelligence.

The Adaptability crisis no one is naming Have you ever felt the pressure to keep up with the pace of change at work — but quietly wondered if you, or your team, actually have the capacity to do it? Right now, organizations everywhere are sounding the alarm on adaptability. The convergence of AI, workforce restructuring, economic pressure, and shrinking skill shelf-life has made it one of the most urgent mandates in modern leadership.  But here's what's not being talked about enough: most organizations are trying to build adaptability on top of burnout, anxiety, identity disruption, and capacity depletion. And that's exactly why the efforts keep stalling. In this episode, Blake names the hidden human barriers to organizational adaptability that no reskilling platform or wellness app can fix on its own. From the neuroscience of burnout to the identity disruption that AI is quietly triggering inside your workforce, this conversation reframes adaptability as a three-layer challenge: capacity, identity, and operational design. If you're leading a team through change right now — or navigating your own career evolution — this episode will expand how you understand what's truly required to adapt and thrive. Not just survive.    Episode Highlights The Adaptability Mandate Facing Organizations  [01:15] – Why adaptability has become a survival capability, not a leadership buzzword  [02:00] – The convergence of AI, economic pressure, and workforce restructuring  [03:00] – Why operational solutions alone cannot solve adaptability gaps   Burnout as a Barrier to Adaptability  [04:15] – How sustained stress reduces cognitive and creative capacity  [04:45] – The neurological impact of prolonged workplace pressure  [05:20] – Why adaptability declines when capacity is depleted   AI as Both Disruptor and Intensifier  [06:00] – The dual reality of job displacement and workload expansion  [06:45] – Research showing AI often increases output expectations  [07:30] – The pressure employees feel to outperform technology    The Identity Disruption Underneath Workforce Change  [08:45] – How professionals tie identity to expertise and role mastery  [09:15] – The psychological impact of automation and skill obsolescence  [09:50] – Why identity threat activates survival patterns    Leading Adaptability From the Top Down and Bottom Up  [11:25] – The leadership responsibility to steward change sustainably  [12:00] – How fear-based cultures erode innovation  [12:40] – The power individual leaders have to redefine value and capacity   Powerful Quotes "We're operating inside one of the most accelerated periods of change the modern workforce has ever experienced." –Blake Schofield "Most organizations are trying to build adaptability on top of burnout, anxiety, identity disruption, and capacity depletion. And when we don't understand those things, our adaptability efforts are going to stall." –Blake Schofield "Burnout will biologically reduce your ability to adapt. Problem solving declines. As does creativity and innovation. We tolerate less risk and we struggle to see new ways forward." –Blake Schofield "We can't ask teams to experiment, evolve and create and do their best while they feel unsafe about their future." –Blake Schofield   Resources Mentioned Drained at the end of the day & want more presence in your life?

We are all guilty of this. Even the most tolerant people if they dig deep down, they can find prejudices mostly likely towards those people they deem to be intolerant. As Pastor Ricky continues to examine the way that Jesus moved the church forward following His ascension, he challenges us to start moving toward the unifying love and grace that characterizes the kingdom of God. Stop building walls between yourself and “those” people and instead try inviting them to the table with you.

You were marked as unclean the moment you entered this world. Even before you were conscious of it, you were sinning. You were placing self above others and especially above God. In doing so you built up barriers and justified your own sin and selfishness while judging others' worth based on their sins and differences. As Pastor Ricky reminds us in today's message, Christ brings an end to all of that. He makes you clean and makes anyone who asks clean. In that abundant grace, you can find unity.

Finding the right funding for new ideas is challenging, especially when traditional philanthropy often favors established connections. However, open-call grant models are leveling the playing field, encouraging organizations to propose big, bold solutions that might otherwise stay under a funder's radar. In today's episode, host Josh Gryniewicz interviews Marc Moorghen from Lever for Change about the ways open calls are reshaping access to philanthropic funding. You'll learn the value of approaching major grant applications as learning opportunities, how to use expert and peer feedback to strengthen your case for support, and ways to leverage strategic storytelling to move funders to action.

Prejudice isn't always based on color of skin or geographic origin and it can range from a subtle bias to a raging anger. As Pastor Ricky warns in today's message, this area of your heart and life tends to be one of the last ones to be addressed as you seek to walk in holiness with Christ. Instead of getting defensive or distancing yourself from a specific group that makes you uncomfortable, examine your heart and pray for the love and grace of Christ to flow from you to all people.

In this episode, Nathan Atkinson, Co-Founder of Rethink Food in the UK, shares a deeply grounded perspective on hunger, education and systemic change, shaped by a decade spent leading schools in some of England's most disadvantaged communities. Nathan traces the origins of Rethink Food back to a defining moment as a headteacher, when a school kitchen breakdown revealed the hidden scale of child hunger and its direct impact on behaviour, wellbeing and learning. That experience led him to a simple but powerful commitment: to remove hunger as a barrier to education. The conversation explores how Rethink Food has evolved from grassroots action into a nationally recognised organisation working across three pillars of impact: access to healthy food, skills and stewardship, and systems change. At the centre of this work is the National School Pantry Network, a flagship programme supporting schools to become trusted, community anchored hubs where families can access healthy food without stigma, alongside wider support services. Nathan explains why food is both the entry point and the connector. Sharing food builds trust, which then enables schools to link families to help with debt, housing, digital access, employment and education. The aim is not only to respond to crisis, but to break the cycle of food insecurity altogether. A significant part of the discussion focuses on nutrition, dignity and choice. Nathan challenges simplistic narratives about poverty and food, highlighting structural barriers such as transport, infrastructure and access to healthy options.  Listeners will gain insight into how the organisation operates day to day, from surplus food logistics and volunteer mobilisation to digital education programmes and cross sector partnerships with corporates, planners and policymakers. Nathan reflects on the importance of collaboration over confrontation, and why working with unlikely allies can unlock long term change.

Gold is testing the $5,000 barrier — and the charts are flashing warning signs. Kerry Lutz and Jerry Robinson dive into gold and silver as markets test extreme levels. A rising 50-day moving average offers support, but long weekly wicks show momentum could be slowing. Will it break through, or pause first? Speculation around Kevin Warsh and shifting Fed expectations may be driving the pullback. If the hawkish premium fades, rates could ease — and gold reacts. Silver just went vertical — then crashed back. Volatility is insane. Yet the fundamentals remain rock-solid: industrial demand from solar and data centers is still building. The lesson is clear: don't panic. Diversify. Dollar-cost average. See spikes as opportunity, not fear. Strategy also matters. Substack is winning over WordPress for publishing, mailing, and monetization. Kerry shares early paid-subscriber traction, teases Living the Silverback Lifestyle, and outlines a new parking-enforcement book paired with litigation and a public campaign under the National Association of American Defrauded Parkers. Markets are wild. Policy is shifting. Psychology is stretched. Smart investors stay steady — and strike when others hesitate.

On this day in 1958, Ruth Carol Taylor made history as the first African-American flight attendant in the United States. Hired by Mohawk Airlines after challenging discrimination in the industry, Taylor's achievement marked a major milestone in civil rights and aviation history. Though her tenure lasted only six months due to airline policies at the time, her impact paved the way for greater inclusion in commercial aviation.

Donna Bungard describes how her lived experience and technical background led her into accessibility leadership. She emphasizes skills-first hiring, the importance of normalizing disability, and centering real human experiences rather than compliance alone. Bungard discusses neurodiversity as a spectrum, the value of customization in both work and digital products, and why accessibility benefits everyone. She highlights the need for authentic voices, continuous learning, and careful but optimistic use of AI as a mainstream assistive technology that can reshape inclusion if guided responsibly.Mentioned in this episode:Info about Accessibility at Blink

In this episode, Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt dive into the concept of "Quick Wins." The duo discusses how to close the gap between having a great idea and actually executing it. Whether you are a perfectionist struggling with "analysis paralysis" or a visionary with a mile-long to-do list, this episode provides a framework to stop thinking and start doing. The Three Pillars of Immediate Action 1. The 24-Hour Micro-Action To prevent "idea decay," you must commit to a tangible action within 24 hours of having a new idea. Identify the First Domino: Don't try to flesh out the entire concept. Find the one small step that gets the ball rolling. Avoid the Research Trap: Research is important, but it often becomes a form of procrastination. Don't let AI or Google searches keep you from taking the first step. 2. Leverage the "Do It Badly" Rule Perfectionism is the enemy of progress. This rule encourages you to embrace Version 0.01 rather than waiting for Version 1.0. Lower the Barrier to Entry: Make the start so easy it's impossible to say no (e.g., five pushups instead of a full gym hour). Iterate Based on Feedback: You can't improve what doesn't exist. Launching quickly allows you to get real-world feedback and pivot as needed. 3. Create an Environment of Immediacy Your environment should pull you toward action, not push you away with friction. The 2-Minute Rule: If the setup for a task takes more than two minutes, the mental effort to start becomes exponentially higher. Keep your "tools" ready to go. The Go/No-Go Filter: Not every idea is gold. Quickly filter your ideas: if it's a "Go," hit the 24-hour rule. If it's a "No-Go," file it away and stop thinking about it. Public Accountability: Share your goals with a partner or coach. Hearing your own excuses out loud often reveals how ridiculous they are. Quick Reference Guide Concept Key Takeaway Idea Decay The longer you wait to act, the less likely you are to do it. Analysis Paralysis Overthinking leads to stagnation; action leads to clarity. The First Domino Focus only on the very next step to build momentum. Accountability Consistency is easier when someone is watching. "When you hear yourself make your excuses to someone else, you realize how ridiculous they sound most of the time." Ready to start?

In Episode 4 of the Breaking Barriers Podcast, host Lori Thurman, 1994 Kentucky Wesleyan College graduate and current Title IX and Disability Services Coordinator, sits down with fellow Panther alum Angel Welsh (Class of 2003), Executive Director and Founder of My Sister's Keeper. The conversation opens with Lori sharing her personal connection to Angel and My Sister's Keeper, highlighting how their paths crossed through a shared commitment to serving unhoused women and children in the community. Angel reflects on her time at Kentucky Wesleyan College, where she balanced life as a student-athlete, cheerleader, and employee while working multiple jobs both on and off campus. She discusses the challenges of managing those responsibilities and what it was like to navigate college as a female athlete. Angel shares her fondest memories from her time at KWC and offers insight into whether she experienced gender-based discrepancies or inequities during her athletic career. The discussion then turns deeply personal as Angel explains how her own life experiences inspired the creation of My Sister's Keeper and fueled her passion for advocacy and shelter work. Throughout the episode, Angel offers wisdom she wishes she could share with her younger self, reflects on gender inequities in sports and the workplace, and discusses why female athletes and coaches continue to be undervalued. She speaks candidly about what she is most proud of both professionally and personally, and considers whether there is any moment in her life she would change if given the chance. The episode closes with a heartfelt reflection on motherhood, as Angel shares her hopes and dreams for her daughter and for the next generation of young women growing up in a world still striving for true equity. This episode is an inspiring conversation about resilience, leadership, advocacy, and breaking barriers—both on and off the field.

What Barrier by Parker Thomaston

One of the most common reasons people struggle with Christianity isn't a lack of information—it's what they've seen. Many have watched Christians say one thing and live another, and it raises an honest question: If the message is true, why don't the messengers always reflect it? Join us as we talk about the reality of hypocrisy, why Jesus spoke so strongly against it, and where real hope is found for those who have been hurt by it—or who see it in their own lives. Our faith isn't built on perfect people, but on a perfect Savior, and that changes everything.

Why does a bachelor's degree take four years? Is it because that is how long it takes to learn, or is it just a historical accident?On this episode of An Educated Guest, Todd Zipper sits down with Madeleine Green of the "College in 3 Exchange" to discuss the movement that is challenging the 120-credit hour monopoly. Madeleine explains how the four-year standard was originally created not for students, but for a faculty pension scheme, and why the time is right to redesign the undergraduate experience.In this episode, we cover:The surprising history of the "Carnegie Unit" and seat-time requirements.How institutions are redesigning curricula to cut fluff without sacrificing quality.The financial and career benefits for students entering the workforce a year early.The regulatory hurdles at the state level that are slowing down innovation.Why "College in 3" is about rigorous design, not just speed.To learn more about the institutions involved, visit the College in 3 Exchange website.

We were never designed to do life in a vacuum. In this kickoff to our Family pillar series, Pastor Andy explores the radical reality of Acts 2:42—a community so devoted to one another that it changed history. We often view family through the lens of our past experiences—some beautiful, some broken. But Kingdom family isn't about finding a perfect environment; it's about taking personal responsibility to create one. In this message, we confront the modern barriers to connection (technology, busyness, and walls masquerading as boundaries) and issue a challenge: move from being a consumer of community to a cultivator of it. Revival is sustained in family. Are you ready to show up?

In this episode of the Better Coaching podcast, Luke Gromer speaks with Betsy Butterick about her new book, 'Kids These Days,' which explores effective strategies for coaching Gen Z athletes. They discuss the unique challenges that Gen Z presents to coaches, the importance of leading with 'why,' and how to navigate technology in coaching. Betsy emphasizes the need for co-creation in team environments, the difference between praise and affirmation, and the significance of modeling vulnerability and accountability as a coach. The conversation also touches on how to teach accountability among peers and the importance of creating tech-free spaces for genuine connection.—RYG x NIKE SPORTS CAMPSThe Better Coaching Podcast is powered by RYG Athletics, a proud provider of NIKE Sports Camps.If you're interested in becoming one of our NIKE Sports Camp directors, fill out the form below.Director interest form:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://forms.gle/Bo4otGjRjDkju1xp8⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠RYG Website:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://rygathletics.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠—FREE PODCAST NOTES, NEWSLETTER, & COACHES COMMUNITYClick the link below to download the show notes, subscribe to our newsletter, or join the community!

In this encore episode, we highlight vitamin D₃ in gastrointestinal health, with a focus on intestinal barrier function and the gut-immune axis. We discuss how vitamin D is metabolized into its active form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and how 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D can support intestinal health, while highlighting intestinal mucosal anatomy.Topics:1. Introduction - Highlighting intestinal barrier function and the gut-immune axis with a focus on vitamin D₃ 2. Vitamin D Synthesis and Metabolism - Skin and 7-dehydrocholesterol; dietary intake.- Transported through the bloodstream bound to vitamin D binding protein.- First hydroxylation in the liver to form 25-hydroxyvitamin D₃ (25(OH)D₃).- Testing.- Second hydroxylation in the kidney to form the active 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D₃ (1,25(OH)₂D₃).- Local activation also occurs. 3. Intestinal Barrier Anatomy - The intestinal epithelium forms a selectively permeable monolayer that interfaces with the gut lumen.- Covered by a mucus layer.- Tight junction proteins and paracellular permeability.- The lamina propria and Gut-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (GALT). - Maintaining tolerance.  4. Vitamin D - 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃, tight junction integrity, immune regulation, and more. 5. Vitamin D₂ and D₃  6. Conclusion - Neither too high nor too low: optimal levels.- Multifactorial: Numerous factors regulate vitamin D levels.- Gastrointestinal health root cause approach.Thank you to our episode sponsor: 1.

The premise for “The Last of Us,” both the video game and the HBO hit series, centers around the survival of two people navigating a post-apocalyptic wasteland after a mutated fungus infected most of the world's population, turning victims into mindless zombies.At first glance, it appears like just another interesting take on the zombie genre.But believe it or not, the game is actually based on a real-life genus of fungus called cordyceps, which survives by infecting insects, hijacking their immune systems, and turning them into vessels that the fungus then controls. The fungus parasite then guides the insect body to a desirable location where it can spread to other hosts.While the concept that a fungus can turn humans into mindless zombies might seem far-fetched, there is already mounting concern within the scientific community that mutating strains of fungi are rapidly evolving in response to changing climate, to the point where they are beginning to present a real threat to human health.In recent years, several genera of fungi (which had previously not been a problem) are now able to infect humans.Let's go through the current state of pathogenic fungi.

In this episode, I'm walking through my current skin routine—the topicals I'm using and loving for acne scars, barrier repair, dry skin, and calming hormonal breakouts. We talk about why gentle, supportive products matter more than aggressive “fix-it” formulas and how I choose topicals that work with the skin, not against it. I also share simple, realistic tips to support lymphatic flow for hormonal acne—because congestion, inflammation, and poor drainage play a much bigger role in breakouts than most people realize. And of course, we connect the dots between gut health and skin, explaining how digestion, detox pathways, and inflammation show up on your face even when your routine looks “clean.” If your skin feels stuck in a flare cycle, this episode will help you simplify, support, and heal more strategically.Shop my favorites mentioned in this episode HERE Work with meAccess to skin clearing webinars and protocolsFollow along on socials @drhalieschoff

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we are joined yet again by our pal Andrew Skurka and wayyyyy back former guest and now co-director of Skurka Adventures, Katie Gerber aka "Salty". Today's episode covers a lot of ground.  Today's conversation is part backpacking advice, part gear nerd chat, part a glimpse inside the operation at Skurka Adventures.  We first dive into Katie's list of the five biggest mistakes she made as a beginner backpacker and her take on why she loves her alcohol stove- after a decade of use. Andrew gives us an overview of vapor barrier layers and moisture management for cold-weather backpacking, the Ursack versus bear canister debate, he gives a framework for deciding exactly when it's time to hit the SOS button on your satellite communicator, the ethics of publicizing GPS tracks in these high consequence and fragile regions, and he shares his two cents on one of the most detailed bear-safety questions we've ever received. The duo also give us some standout stories from their years of working together, including a nightmarish and somehow hilarious story of surviving a Mojave Desert traffic jam in triple-digit heat. We wrap the show with a call for Trail Correspondents, if setting up your tent in the airport makes you a genius or an A-hole, the triple crown of winter drinks, and some fun Ibex facts from a listener.
