Are your sleep trackers helping you sleep better? Or making you more anxious about your sleep? In this episode, we welcome back sleep expert Mollie Eastman, founder of Sleep Is A Skill, to explore how chasing the perfect sleep score can actually undermine restorative sleep, while sharing practical strategies for improving sleep through mindset shifts, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and smart use of wearable data. Mollie also discusses overcoming the "First Night Effect" while traveling, when to consider at-home sleep studies, and the foundational tests that matter most before investing in advanced biohacks. Finally, she shares her personal experience with psychedelic-assisted therapy at Beckley Retreats, revealing how addressing suppressed emotions and unresolved stress transformed both her sleep and overall well-being.Mollie Eastman is the creator of Sleep Is A Skill and the host of The Sleep Is A Skill Podcast. Sleep Is A Skill is a company that optimizes people's sleep through a unique blend of technology, accountability, and behavioral change. After navigating insomnia while traveling internationally, she created what she couldn't find - a place to go to learn the skill set of sleep. With a background in behavioral change from The Nonverbal Group, she became fascinated with chronobiology and its practical application to sleep and our overall experience of life. Knowing the difference between a life with sleep and without, she's now dedicated her life to sharing the forgotten skill set of sleep. In the spirit of that goal, she has created the #2 sleep podcast, where she has interviewed over 200 sleep experts, written a popular weekly sleep newsletter for over six years, partnered with luxury hotels & lifestyle brands, coached the world's top poker players, and has appeared on over 175 podcasts.SHOW NOTES:0:39 Welcome to the podcast!2:16 About Mollie Eastman3:19 Welcome her back to the show!4:48 Are wearables helping or harming?7:04 Placebo-Nocebo effect11:25 Getting relief from sleep data14:00 The ‘mindset' undermining sleep16:13 Acceptance & Commitment Theory (ACT) for Insomnia18:38 Using biohacks for “First Night Effect”25:05 Sleep disorders & at-home sleep studies32:14 Auditing sleep data36:13 Baseline tests to start with39:51 Her latest discovery on sleep support40:55 Beckley Retreats48:47 The benefits of psychedelics on her sleep54:24 The impact of suppressing emotions58:57 Where to find herRESOURCES:Website: Sleep Is a SkillSleep Obsessions' Monday Newsletter8-Week Wearable Group “Optimize Your Sleep” ProgramSleep Is A Skill PodcastLinkedInIG: @mollie.eastmanSleep Tests:SleepDoctor.comSleep Image RingHappy RingSleep Doctor Watch PAT - WatchPATOnera Sleep StudySupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

In this episode, Hannah sits down with Taylor, a Special Education teacher at Little Light House, to explore a foundational approach to supporting Autism. Taylor walks parents through four key needs to check when dysregulation occurs: hydration, a full belly, rest, and health. She also unpacks the concept of sensory rest and why it looks different for neurodivergent children. If your child frequently struggles with dysregulation, this episode gives you a simple, powerful place to start. Every kid deserves the chance to just be a kid.At Little Light House, that belief drives everything we do.

We were promised that more data would give us more control. Somewhere between the sleep score and the blood panel, many of us stopped asking how we actually feel. After stepping away from the demanding executive career that had shaped much of her identity, physician and healthcare leader Dr. Nasim Afsar was forced to confront a deeper question: Who are you when the role, schedule, and story that defined you are suddenly gone? In this conversation, Nasim and Marc explore identity beyond achievement, the danger of trying to fix every uncomfortable emotion, and the growing anxiety surrounding wearables, supplements, testing, peptides, and longevity protocols. They also examine how unified health data and artificial intelligence could create a more personalized and human healthcare system—provided that people remain the owners of their information and the centre of every decision. This is a conversation about becoming whole, trusting how you feel, and remembering that no technology can replace sleep, movement, purpose, community, and a life you genuinely want to live.

In this episode, we install the LockLeft defensive framework: a simple, teachable system built on one ruthless idea — force every ball handler to his left hand, every possession, all game long. We cover the core rules: how on-ball defenders angle their stance to take away the right hand, how help defenders shade to shrink the left side of the floor, and how the whole scheme squeezes passing windows until offenses start throwing the ball to you. You'll learn the three most common breakdowns when teams first install it, how to rep it with simple shell drill constraints, and why this system is especially powerful at the high school and youth levels, where almost nobody can finish with their weak hand.

Episode Summary Most people believe they know how to use AI—but are they simply treating ChatGPT like a replacement for Google? In this episode of The EdTech Podcast, Philippa Wraithmell speaks with Joshua, Co-founder and CEO of Mindstone, about what genuine AI competency looks like and why successful AI transformation depends far more on people, behaviour and organisational culture than technology. Joshua shares his journey from launching his first company as a teenager to co-founding SuperAwesome, the child-safety technology company later acquired by Epic Games. He explains how this experience shaped his thinking about digital safeguarding, parental responsibility and the need to help children engage with technology gradually, rather than attempting to protect them through blanket bans. The conversation explores why simply inserting AI into existing tasks rarely delivers meaningful value. Joshua argues that the real opportunity lies in changing how we approach work: asking AI to question us, challenge our assumptions, identify blind spots and support our thinking rather than outsourcing it. They also examine the widening AI skills divide. As experienced users build years of personal context, workflows and AI agents, those who delay may find themselves increasingly disadvantaged. This has major implications for workplaces, schools and universities—particularly when many institutions still respond to AI through prohibition rather than education. From leadership and workforce transformation to safeguarding, sustainability misconceptions and the future of employment, this episode asks an important question: are we preparing people to use AI well, or simply giving them access to the tools?  Key Topics What genuine AI competency looks like Why most people are using generative AI incorrectly Using AI to enhance rather than replace human thinking Why AI transformation is a people and behaviour-change challenge The responsibility of senior leaders during AI adoption The growing inequality between experienced and inexperienced AI users Why banning AI in schools can encourage secretive and inappropriate use Building safer, age-appropriate pathways into AI and social media The role of parents, governments and technology companies in safeguarding Misconceptions surrounding AI's environmental impact How AI agents are changing productivity and cognitive workload Preparing people for disruption across employment and education Chapters 00:00 – Welcome and Introduction to Joshua Joshua introduces Mindstone and its work helping non-technical teams use generative AI more effectively. 01:04 – Building a Business at Sixteen From creating websites for family connections to managing a team of students building technology for private banks. 02:08 – Early Start-up Lessons Joshua reflects on a failed start-up, turning down investment and the lessons that led to his next venture. 03:17 – Building SuperAwesome and Protecting Children Online How SuperAwesome developed advertising, privacy and verified parental-consent technology for global children's brands. 04:47 – Safeguarding, Regulation and Parental Responsibility Why Joshua believes governments must avoid removing parental agency when introducing online-safety regulation. 06:46 – Education, Curiosity and Challenging Authority Joshua discusses his school experiences, constant questioning and learning across six different school models. 10:04 – Why Joshua Founded Mindstone The transition from Epic Games into education, learning science and the future of workforce skills. 13:07 – When Skills Expire Before Degrees Are Completed Why the declining half-life of workplace skills raises fundamental questions about traditional education. 14:04 – ChatGPT Changes the Direction of Mindstone How generative AI transformed both the learning process and the skills likely to matter in the future. 15:28 – Why Most People Do Not Know How to Use AI Joshua explains why frequent ChatGPT use does not necessarily equal AI competency. 17:24 – ChatGPT Is Not a Search Engine Why treating AI as a Google replacement represents one of its least valuable applications. 18:17 – AI, Water and Energy Misconceptions A discussion about environmental claims, data centres and the importance of understanding evidence and scale. 20:45 – Stop Asking AI for Answers Joshua shares a simple technique: ask AI to question you, uncover blind spots and strengthen your thinking. 22:09 – Treating AI as a Conversation Why users should refine, challenge and continue the interaction rather than abandoning AI after one poor response. 24:10 – AI as a Digital Chief of Staff How accumulated context allows AI to understand preferences, decisions and working patterns more effectively. 25:04 – The Emerging AI Inequality Gap Why users who have spent years building AI systems and context may gain a compounding advantage. 26:54 – Why School AI Bans Are Failing How prohibition can drive AI use underground and encourage learners to outsource rather than demonstrate their thinking. 27:23 – Making AI the Baseline for Learning Why students should be expected to show how they improved upon AI-generated work rather than pretend the technology does not exist. 30:47 – AI Transformation Begins with Leadership Why executive teams must understand and use AI before asking the rest of an organisation to change. 33:11 – AI Is a People Problem The case for moving AI transformation from the chief technology officer to the chief people officer. 33:40 – Why Online Training Alone Does Not Change Behaviour How live demonstrations, personalised learning and practical workplace applications support meaningful adoption. 36:19 – Champions, Laggards and Organisational Change The role of internal champions, visible success stories and sustained momentum. 38:05 – Reclaiming Time for Meaningful Work How AI can reduce administrative burden and allow people to focus on the work they value most. 39:12 – The Safeguarding Knife Edge Joshua considers how children can gradually gain independence while parents retain appropriate visibility and support. 42:38 – The Problem with Digital Cliffs Why completely restricting children until a set age may leave them unprepared for the realities of online life. 44:38 – Technology Cannot Replace Parenting Lessons from SuperAwesome about parental consent, responsibility and the limitations of technical safeguards. 47:44 – Jobs, Robotics and the Next Decade Joshua shares an optimistic but honest view of significant employment disruption and rapid technological progress. 49:15 – AI Agents and 'Brain Fry' Why delegating routine work to AI can leave humans completing only the most cognitively demanding tasks. 50:48 – Becoming More Human in an AI World The opportunity to rethink work, protect time and make greater space for creativity, relationships and life beyond productivity.

In this thought-provoking solo episode, Sarah challenges a major industry misconception: the idea that being an excellent, highly credentialed coach is enough to guarantee a successful business. She dives into the harsh reality of global coach oversupply, the systemic flaws in traditional credentialing pathways, and the single skill that separates struggling coaches from thriving business owners. The Reality of Supply and DemandThe coaching market is experiencing unprecedented growth. Globally, the number of qualified coaches has jumped by 54% since 2019, surpassing the 100,000 mark, and that only accounts for coaches credentialed through the ICF. Baseline vs. Differentiator: Accredited training programs graduate thousands of excellent coaches every year. Because of this, certifications, hours, and continuous professional development are no longer what sets you apart—they are simply the entry-level baseline. The Platform Price Trap: Because good coaches are easy to find on an associate basis, major coaching platforms hold all the power. Some pay as little as £50 a session (or less) while demanding gruelling schedules of over 10 hours of delivery a day. The AI Threat: With platforms heavily investing in AI coaching, the financial terms and session fees for traditional human coaches are likely to drop even further.The Flaw in the SystemSarah exposes a dark secret about how the coaching ecosystem operates. The profession has actively created a framework where it is entirely possible to earn the highest levels of credentials without ever learning how to sign a single paying client. "[...] they get away with that because our professional bodies count those unpaid hours as 'paid' for the purposes of credentialing."The Employee Mindset TrapMany coaches transition into self-employment, carrying the beliefs of corporate employee life: “Do good work, and someone will notice.”Sarah draws a direct parallel: In Employment: An employee who does a brilliant job but remains invisible to decision-makers simply misses out on a promotion. They still keep their job and get a steady paycheck. In Business: A lack of visibility and influence means you earn absolutely nothing, and your business completely fails: The stakes are entirely different.What Makes a Coach Truly Rare?A wall full of certificates won't fill your practice. Sarah notes that she frequently sees coaches with three or four advanced certifications who are completely stuck, while coaches with a basic ACC credential build massive practices. The difference comes down to mastering client acquisition outside of the coaching conversation. Relying on word of mouth is a lovely bonus, but it is not a controllable business strategy. The Gold Standard: What is genuinely rare and incredibly valuable is the combination of being a great coach and being skilled at finding people who are prepared to pay a professional rate. Genuine Independence: Client acquisition is a teachable, learnable professional skill. Once you know how to build your own audience and articulate your value, no algorithm, platform, or wave of new graduates can take your business away from you. "If the people who need our coaching don't know we exist, our coaching isn't speaking to anyone at all."Ready to stop relying on a flawed system and build your independence?If you're sick of collecting qualifications and want to treat client acquisition like the professional skill it is, let's change your strategy.

Carl and Mike share thoughts on why it is hard for Carl "feel good" about Michael Penix Jr.'s status as he feels he should and discuss why they believe part of the challenge may be due to the fact the third-year quarterback has not established himself as a star in the league yet.

Unlock the hidden code behind human behavior—before it costs you opportunities, relationships, and influence.Most people think they're good at reading others. They're not. They project, assume, and misinterpret—then wonder why conversations stall, deals fall apart, and signals get missed. Behavioral Tells cuts through the noise and shows you what people are actually communicating beneath the surface. From bestselling author Patrick King, this is your field guide to decoding people in real time—without guesswork, overthinking, or relying on clichés like “just trust your gut.” You'll learn how perception quietly distorts everything you see—and how to fix it fast. How perceptual biases like the halo effect and projection silently sabotage your judgment The three perceptual positions that instantly sharpen your perspective in any interaction Why your expectations shape what you notice—and how to break that loop Practical ways to improve perceptual accuracy so you stop misreading people But reading people isn't just about what you see. It's about what you notice, how you interpret it, and how you respond in the moment. This book takes you deeper—into emotions, group dynamics, language patterns, and subtle behavioral signals most people completely miss. The ABC model for understanding why people behave the way they do Emotional granularity so you can distinguish nuance, not just “happy vs. angry” The SUE framework for asking questions that reveal truth without resistance How tone, word choice, and “meta-programs” expose hidden motivations Along the way, you'll learn why body language alone can mislead you, how attention flows in groups, and what everyday behaviors—like walking style, clothing, and even food choices—quietly reveal. Bottom line: This is not theory. It's a toolkit. Navigate conversations with precision Spot inconsistencies before they become problems Understand people faster than they understand themselves

SummaryStarting a health journey can feel overwhelming, especially if you think you have to change everything overnight. In this episode, Chase and Chris explain why the best place to start is with awareness. They talk about tracking your food, learning your current habits, and creating a realistic baseline that fits your life. They also explain why your baseline should grow over time as you make progress. You'll learn why building simple, repeatable habits creates confidence, helps you stay consistent during busy seasons, and leads to long-term success instead of another short-lived diet.

You've heard your thoughts send electric signals and your emotions pull the magnetic experience to you?! Today we dive into how we actually change that emotional resonance point.For the meditation program click here.

You have created a new baseline for managing your stress. If you frequently find yourself finishing your week feeling mentally fragmented, scattered, or stuck on an emotional rollercoaster between high-alert stress and total burnout, your system is missing integration. In this final session, we dive into the advanced science of neuro-somatic synthesis and introduce Somatic Stacking—layering postural alignment, the Pran Mudra, and Root Chakra grounding simultaneously to instantly drop cortisol, lock out environmental noise, and restore a state of sharp, effortless daily execution. In This Episode, You'll Discover: The Cost of Fragmentation: The biological reason why juggling multiple roles splits your attention and keeps your nervous system chemically unbalanced. The Architecture of Somatic Stacking: How layering physical, energetic, and breath anchors simultaneously creates a powerful synergistic off-switch for stress. The Equilibrium Protocol: A guided 10-minute integrated meditation to completely stabilize your heart rate, stop energy leaks, and anchor your mind in sovereign peace. A Daily Message for Your Heart You are balancing a mountain of moving parts, steering a large vision, and anchoring the spaces you occupy. It is completely natural to feel scattered, like you are a collection of tasks and timelines rather than a whole soul. Today, remember that balance is not something you find by fixing everything in the outside world—balance is an internal posture you claim right here in the immediate present. You do not have to wait for the storm to stop to find your peace. By taking these ten minutes to stack your physical tools, you are gathering your scattered power back into your own hands. Let the affirmation 'My nervous system is steady, my body is safe, and I am entirely at peace' act as your absolute standard of stability today. You are doing an extraordinary job. This is day 7 of a 7-day meditation series, 3514-3520 Somatic Stress Relief.   THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY   If you are tired of waking up already feeling overwhelmed, running on adrenaline, and dealing with that persistent background anxiety that makes it impossible to focus, you are in the exact right place.   This week, we are stepping into a profound, 7-day somatic experience designed to pull you out of survival mode and return you to a state of calm, unshakeable power.   We aren't just going to talk about peace; we are going to build it directly into your biology. Over the next seven days, we will layer powerful, science-backed tools—including ancient hand mudras like the Pran Mudra, deep rhythmic breathing protocols, target chakra alignments, and restorative physical resets—to train your body that it is safe to let go.   Whether you are navigating a high-velocity career, balancing a mountain of daily demands, or simply trying to quiet an overactive mind before bed, this series is your ultimate biological reset button. Get ready to lower your cortisol, drop your shoulders, and reclaim your inner sovereignty.   THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: THE 30-SECOND COLD SPLASH At the end of your morning shower, turn the handle to cold for just 30 seconds. Alternatively, fill a bowl with ice water and submerge your face up to your temples for 10 seconds.   MEDITATION TECHNIQUES: DAY 1: VISUALIZATION Visualize yourself seated next to people who calm you.   DAY 2: AFFIRMATION "My body is safe, and I am at peace."   DAY 3: THE EXTENDED EXHALE BREATHING TECHNIQUE Inhale through your nose for a count of 4, feeling your belly expand. Hold gently at the top for a count of 4. Exhale slowly through pursed lips (like breathing through a straw) for a count of 8. Repeat for 3 to 5 cycles to instantly lower your heart rate and drop cortisol levels. DAY 4: PRAN MUDRA (THE LIFE FORCE SEAL) This mudra acts like a grounding cord for a scattered, anxious mind while simultaneously replenishing drained energy reserves without overstimulating your system. How to do it: On both hands, bring the tips of your ring finger and pinky finger to touch the tip of your thumb. Keep your index and middle fingers extended straight out. Rest your hands on your lap, palms facing up. DAY 5: MULADHARA ROOT CHAKRA When the nervous system is overwhelmed, energy flies upward into a swirling vortex of overthinking. Dropping your awareness down to the Root Chakra—located at the base of your spine—anchors you. Visualize a rich, warm, steady crimson light grounding you deeply into the solid earth beneath you.   DAY 6: LAYER ALL THE TECHNIQUES TOGETHER   DAY 7: REFLECTION AND CELEBRATION   SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

The culture is obsessed with speed, scale, lean teams, massive output, and automation, but faster output does not automatically mean better direction. In part two of this connected conversation, the focus shifts to the missing human layer underneath AI-powered growth and the belief that more content, more automation, and more velocity always lead to better outcomes. Using S³ Growth Streams™ as the operating lens, you will learn how to strategize before accelerating, synergize before scaling, and systemize before sprinting forever. More importantly, you will see how to separate signal from noise, align tools with real human capacity, and build repeatable rhythms that support growth without requiring constant sacrifice. This episode is not anti-AI, anti-hustle, or anti-ambition. It is anti-default sacrifice, anti-permanent sprint, and anti-output without awareness. It also challenges the obsession with flow state by introducing five operating states that support sustainable growth: capture, clarity, commitment, flow, and reflection. Because flow is not the whole game. Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is capture the signal, get clarity, commit to the right action, recover, reflect, and return to baseline before sprinting again. The goal is not to become more machine-like. The goal is to become more intentionally human while using machines wisely.

Send us Fan MailMarketing doesn't fail in Web3 because people “don't get crypto”. It fails because teams treat distribution like a one-time stunt, then wonder why the world forgets them 24 hours later. We sit down with Jack Haldorsson, Managing Partner and Co-Founder at Lunar Strategy, to map a smarter approach: build an always-on social baseline first, then run marketing in deliberate seasons that compound momentum over time.We get specific about what that looks like in a real go-to-market strategy. Jack walks through starting at the top with the “why”, defining the actual target user (not “everyone in crypto”), and turning that into a messaging framework before choosing channels. From there, we talk sequencing: teasers, waitlists, countdowns, beta launches, and product launches as separate campaigns that create a clear user journey and real business outcomes, not vanity metrics.We also dig into modern growth realities: AI agents that can automate research, admin, decks, and landing pages, and why the winning edge is still human taste, judgment, and knowing what to remove. On the market side, we discuss institutional adoption, stablecoins moving into mainstream rails, and why grabbing influencer and creator mindshare now can put you in pole position when retail momentum returns.This episode was recorded through a Descript call on May 6, 2026.

Episode 297: The next wave of cybersecurity hiring is sending a clear message: without AI fluency, you may not be employable. U.S. cyber pipelines are adding AI skill requirements because modern defense now includes securing AI systems themselves. From semi‑autonomous agents to fast‑moving model‑driven threats, the job is shifting fast. If you're aiming for a government or enterprise cyber role, this breakdown clarifies what real “AI fluency” means and why it's becoming a baseline skill.Then we pivot to the strange side of AI behavior and why it still matters. OpenAI models inserting goblins and gremlins into answers sparks a deeper look at alignment, training loops, and user trust. Spotify's human‑verified artist badges highlight how authenticity is becoming a product feature as AI‑generated music floods platforms. We close with the AI layoff boomerang and Sony's 30‑day license check debate, raising big questions about transparency, ownership, and the future of digital media. Tune in to TechTime Radio—where the future is now, the stories matter, and all with a little whiskey on the side.-- Full Episode Details:The next wave of cybersecurity hiring is sending a blunt message: if you don't understand AI, you may not be employable. We dig into reports that U.S. cyber pipelines are adding AI skill requirements because modern defense isn't just about protecting networks anymore. It's about using AI for defense while also securing AI systems themselves, from semi autonomous agents to fast moving model driven threats. If you're aiming for a government or enterprise cyber role, this one helps you think clearly about what “AI fluency” actually means in practice and why it's becoming a baseline skill.Then we pivot to the weird side of AI behavior and why it still matters. A story about OpenAI models that wouldn't stop inserting goblins, gremlins, and other cryptids into answers turns into a real conversation about AI alignment, training feedback loops, and the growing trust gap between users and the systems they rely on. If AI can pick up bizarre habits that fast, what else is it learning and when do those quirks become a real problem?We also talk about AI generated music and the reason Spotify is rolling out human verified badges. With AI tracks blending into TikTok trends and streaming playlists, transparency and authenticity are turning into product features. To close, we hit the AI layoff boomerang where companies cut jobs “because of AI” and then scramble to rehire, plus a heated take on Sony's 30 day license countdown for some digital games and what it means for digital ownership versus physical media.

What if your biggest problem isn't discipline—but where you started?This episode breaks down the baseline that's shaping your entire life. From the taboo truth of being “one with God” to the hidden cost of starting from a sinner mindset, this conversation reframes identity, repentance, and transformation at the root level. If the foundation is wrong, everything built on it will fight you. But when the starting point shifts, everything aligns. Get full access to Donavan Montrell at www.donavanmontrell.com/subscribe

In this Ask Thom Anything episode, Thom responds to questions about right action, hesitation, evil, and so-called demonic forces, reframing them through the Vedic worldview. From Arjuna on the battlefield to the image of becoming a river rather than the landscape, he explores how Cosmic Intelligence, not personal reactivity, reveals what action belongs in any given moment. Listen for a deeply Vedic lens on right action, evolution, and the states of consciousness we call good, evil, or demonic.Episode Highlights[00:45] Q - Is there a general right and wrong in life?[01:56] A - Spontaneous Right Action[05:51] Transcending Relativity Before Action[08:18] No One Answer Fits All[10:41] Q - How do we move through resistance?[10:59] A - Stop Hesitating[12:18] The Window of Relevance[15:07] No Last-Chance Mentality[15:57] Q - Why do we see suffering and evil?[16:40] A - No Evil in the Vedic Worldview[19:22] Sequential Elaboration Makes Story[22:26] Volunteering to Be a River[24:00] Landscapers Make Rivers Visible[28:24] Evolution Needs a Baseline[31:01] Q - What is the Vedic perspective on demonic possession?[31:11] A - Demonic Is a State of Consciousness[33:47] Teaching a Killer to Meditate[37:34] Nothing Is Outside UnderstandingUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

Coffee education is essential for a professional to not just have knowledge needed for their current job, but to add depth, appreciation, motivation, and to prepare them for possible futures in the coffee industry beyond their role today. The next step is to find a place that can supply you with that knowledge in a way that not only delivers facts, but breeds understanding and growth. Today we get to sit down with the Head of Coffee Education at Cafe Imports, Dylan Siemens to talk about the newly released free educational resource, ED+U! Dylan Siemens is the Head of Education at Cafe Imports and the creator of ED+U. He began his coffee career in 2012 as a barista and then Head of Education at Onyx Coffee Lab, where he trained hundreds of baristas and competed nationally, winning the U.S. Brewers Cup in 2017. Over that decade, he gained firsthand insight into how difficult it is for small businesses to maintain high-quality training and how much young professionals benefit when knowledge is made available to them. Dylan joined Cafe Imports in 2022 to help revitalize the company's education program. Building on Cafe Imports' extensive knowledge library, he created ED+U, a platform designed to make professional coffee education accessible to everyone. He doesn't think of himself as the source of ED+U's material, but as the collector and organizer of knowledge from countless people across the supply chain and within Cafe Imports who helped build it. We discuss: How coffee retail, competition training, and the transition to green coffee shaped his world view on coffee education Systemized coffee education and workflows Understanding the coffee supply chain and green buying The role of education in industry growth and retention How the baseline knowledge of coffee advances individuals, companies, and the industry as a whole The platform of ED+U and how it engages the student to encourage understanding Applying education in the real world Links:  ED+U Educational Platform www.cafeimports.com   KEYS TO THE SHOP ALSO OFFERS 1:1 CONSULTING AND COACHING!

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD Educational Pearls: What are the common causes of agitation in the elderly? Baseline dementia causing a behavioral disturbance Delirium precipitated by an acute medical problem such as a UTI, pneumonia, overdose/side effect of home medications, urinary retention, constipation, pain, hypoxia, electrolyte abnormality, etc. Exacerbation of a primary psychotic condition such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. What environmental changes can help reduce agitation? Maintain a quiet, calm, uncluttered environment Dim the lights Ensure the patient has their glasses, hearing aids, and dentures Avoid excessive lines such as foleys Minimize restraints and other forms of immobilization Reassure the patient frequently and have the family check in with the patient What are the best options if medications are required? If the patient is unsafe or non-pharmacologic measures fail, consider a second-generation ("atypical") antipsychotic using the lowest effective dose: Olanzapine Risperidone Quetiapine One special consideration is Dementia with Lewy Bodies, which can be very sensitive to antipsychotics. In this case, Quetiapine is the preferred agent. Avoid when possible: Diphenhydramine and other anticholinergics, which can worsen delirium (including urinary retention and sedation) Benzodiazepines, which may worsen confusion, falls, and respiratory depression Haloperidol, which has a higher risk of extrapyramidal symptoms and QT prolongation than many atypicals References Badwal K, Kiliaki SA, Dugani SB, Pagali SR.

Part 2 of this series brings us to the unmasking of the Baseline Killer, a man who terrorized Phoenix for over a year. His name was Mark Goudeau. A father. A husband. A hardworking member of the community. But beneath it all, he was the monster stalking the streets. As 2005 turned to 2006, his thirst for murder and violence only grew, and police knew they had to stop him before it was too late.  - Sources:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eTYeCoYyxm58DXXdoFbHQyWHlWbcH9iKGIefFcQToW4/edit?tab=t.y2yayotxnlcb Listen to our new show, "THE CONSPIRACY FILES"!: -Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5IY9nWD2MYDzlSYP48nRPl -Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/id1752719844 -Amazon/Audible - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/ab1ade99-740c-46ae-8028-b2cf41eabf58/the-conspiracy-files -Pandora - https://www.pandora.com/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/PC:1001089101 -iHeart - https://iheart.com/podcast/186907423/ -PocketCast - https://pca.st/dpdyrcca -CastBox - https://castbox.fm/channel/id6193084?country=us - Stay Connected: Join the Murder in America fam in our free Facebook Community for a behind-the-scenes look, more insights and current events in the true crime world: https://www.facebook.com/groups/4365229996855701 If you want even more Murder in America bonus content, including ad-free episodes, come join us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/murderinamerica Instagram: http://instagram.com/murderinamerica/ Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/people/Murder-in-America-Podcast/100086268848682/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/MurderInAmerica TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theparanormalfiles and https://www.tiktok.com/@courtneybrowen Feeling spooky?

CardioNerds (Drs. Natalie Marrero, Shivani Reddy, and Rebecca S. Steinberg), discuss the role of SGLT2i in cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) with Dr. Manu Murali Mysore. This episode was produced as part of the CardioNerds Academy curriculum by House Taussig under the guidance of House Chief, Dr. Natalie Marrero, and Academy Program Director, Dr. Gurleen Kaur. A matching review article will be published in US Cardiology Review, the official journal of CardioNerds. Audio editing for this episode was performed by CardioNerds Intern, Dr. Julia Marques Fernandes. Summary: Cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) spans a spectrum from subclinical biomarker elevation to overt heart failure, with risk amplified by preexisting cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and exposure to therapies, such as anthracyclines, HER2-targeted therapies, or radiation. This episode explores the emerging and promising role of SGLT2 inhibitors as a cardioprotective adjunct in cardio-oncology — examining mechanisms, clinical evidence, ongoing trials, and critical knowledge gaps — while affirming that guideline-directed medical therapy remains the cornerstone of prevention and treatment.

Pearls CTRCD is a spectrum — catch it early. CTRCD ranges from subclinical injury detected by imaging and biomarkers to overt heart failure. Early identification in high-risk patients (preexisting CVD, diabetes, HTN, obesity, anthracycline/HER2/radiation exposure) is essential, and early initiation of guideline-directed medical therapy — including ACE inhibitors/ARBs/ARNIs, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and beta-blockers — remains the backbone of prevention and treatment to preserve LVEF and allow safe continuation of cancer therapy. SGLT2 inhibitors are a promising new pillar of cardioprotection in cardio-oncology. They act through a unique combination of mechanisms: renal effects, metabolic reprogramming of the myocardium, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant pathways, and vascular fibrosis modulation — making them a compelling complement to standard therapies rather than a replacement. Early clinical data is encouraging but not yet definitive. The 2024 EMPACARD-PILOT trial demonstrated preserved LVEF and reduced CTRCD in higher-risk patients with diabetes or kidney disease. Ongoing trials — EMPACT and PROTECT — are actively exploring SGLT2 inhibitors for primary prevention during anthracycline and HER2-targeted therapy. SGLT2 inhibitors are NOT yet indicated for ICI-related myocarditis. Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-related myocarditis is mechanistically immune-driven. While SGLT2 inhibitors have theoretically anti-inflammatory benefits, there is currently no clinical evidence to support their use in this specific setting. The use of SGLT2 inhibitors should be guided by patient risk, existing indications, and ongoing research. Large prospective trials, clarity on timing and patient selection, long-term safety data, and deeper mechanistic understanding in humans remain the most urgent gaps in the field before broader adoption can be recommended.

They were known as the Summers of Terror. From 2005 to 2006, Phoenix, Arizona, lived in a state of permanent dread. People and pets were being shot in the streets at random. Women and children were pulled into dark alleys and assaulted. In part 1 of this 2-part series, we'll dive into the attacks that kicked off a year of chaos, violence, and mystery, which left the police department scrambling for answers. They may not have known their killer, but they knew one thing for certain: He would strike again. And again. And again.  - Sources:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eTYeCoYyxm58DXXdoFbHQyWHlWbcH9iKGIefFcQToW4/edit?tab=t.y2yayotxnlcb Listen to our new show, "THE CONSPIRACY FILES"!: -Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5IY9nWD2MYDzlSYP48nRPl -Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/id1752719844 -Amazon/Audible - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/ab1ade99-740c-46ae-8028-b2cf41eabf58/the-conspiracy-files -Pandora - https://www.pandora.com/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/PC:1001089101 -iHeart - https://iheart.com/podcast/186907423/ -PocketCast - https://pca.st/dpdyrcca -CastBox - https://castbox.fm/channel/id6193084?country=us - Stay Connected: Join the Murder in America fam in our free Facebook Community for a behind-the-scenes look, more insights and current events in the true crime world: https://www.facebook.com/groups/4365229996855701 If you want even more Murder in America bonus content, including ad-free episodes, come join us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/murderinamerica Instagram: http://instagram.com/murderinamerica/ Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/people/Murder-in-America-Podcast/100086268848682/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/MurderInAmerica TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theparanormalfiles and https://www.tiktok.com/@courtneybrowen Feeling spooky?
