Frank Miller is regarded as one of the most influential and awarded creators. He began his career in comics in the late 1970s, first gaining notoriety as the artist, and later writer, of Daredevil for Marvel Comics. Next, came the science-fiction samurai drama Ronin, followed by the groundbreaking Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One with artist David Mazzuchelli. Following these seminal works, Miller fulfilled a lifelong dream by doing an all-out crime series, Sin City, which spawned two blockbuster films that he co-directed with Robert Rodriguez. Miller's multi-award-winning graphic novel 300 was also adapted into a highly successful film by Zack Snyder. His upcoming memoir, Push the Wall: My Life, Writing, Drawing, and the Art of Storytelling, is now available for pre-order.This episode is brought to you by: Eight Sleep Pod Cover 5 sleeping solution for dynamic cooling and heating: EightSleep.com/Tim (use code TIM to get $350 off your very own Pod 5 Ultra.)Shopify global commerce platform, providing tools to start, grow, market, and manage a retail business: https://shopify.com/tim (one-dollar-per-month trial period)AG1 all-in-one nutritional supplement: DrinkAG1.com/Tim (1-year supply of Vitamin D (and 5 free AG1 travel packs) with your first subscription purchase.)Timestamps:[00:00:00] Start.[00:02:14] Aristotle's definition of happiness: Devotion to excellence.[00:03:02] Tools of the trade: Blackwing pencils, India ink, liquid frisket.[00:04:45] Sin City‘s physical creation at “twice up” size.[00:08:06] The toothbrush spatter technique.[00:09:24] Channeling impatience, anger, and violence into dramatic creative work.[00:10:33] What Jack Kirby knew about making comics competitive with cinema's spectacle.[00:11:56] Will Eisner and The Spirit‘s influence on the US market where writer-artist duality is rare.[00:13:33] How Jack Kirby blasted apart the panel grid (and a young Frank's mind).[00:15:49] Push the wall and defy the code.[00:19:54] The ruthless mentorship of Neal Adams.[00:24:57] The genesis of the Elektra amd Daredevil “soap opera.”[00:27:56] Story structure: Start late, end early.[00:29:10] Trusting the muse over rigid methodology.[00:31:15] European invasion: Moebius and Forbidden Planet.[00:32:52] Japanese influence: Lone Wolf and Cub‘s impact.[00:34:30] Cultural differences in depicting violence and motion.[00:36:38] Ronin: Shameless imitation and rebirth.[00:37:28] How does Frank know if something is working (or not working)?[00:39:27] The critical reception of Ronin as a “broken nose.”[00:42:37] The ruthless structure of The Dark Knight Returns.[00:43:40] Mutual elevation with “smartest fan” Alan Moore.[00:48:26] Robert Rodriguez: Angel of goodwill and generosity.[00:49:28] Sin City film: Co-directing and the Director's Guild sacrifice.[00:50:31] Working as a “two-headed beast” with Rodriguez.[00:55:27] Favorite films.[00:58:19] Books and ancient history inspiring 300.[00:59:00] Hollywood lessons: The importance of working with the right people.[01:01:13] The partnership and guidance of Silenn Thomas.[01:02:01] The clarity and creative rejuvenation of getting sober from alcohol.[01:04:48] Advice for aspiring comic artists: Story, story, story.[01:06:20] Learning to draw: Bridgman and Loomis books.[01:08:07] Perspective as a mathematical trick and lie.[01:11:00] Dick Giordano's advice: Lay in blacks first.[01:13:52] Sin City workflow innovation: Batch processing stages.[01:15:48] Dark Horse Comics and creative freedom.[01:17:29] Economy of line work and elegant minimalism.[01:20:46] On collaborating with Bill Sienkiewicz on Elektra.[01:25:20] Billboard wisdom: “Ask every question,” and “Why?”[01:27:08] Challenging pathological conformity.[01:27:39] Parting thoughts and where to find Frank's work.*For show notes and past guests on The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast.For deals from sponsors of The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast-sponsorsSign up for Tim's email newsletter (5-Bullet Friday) at tim.blog/friday.For transcripts of episodes, go to tim.blog/transcripts.Discover Tim's books: tim.blog/books.Follow Tim:Twitter: twitter.com/tferriss Instagram: instagram.com/timferrissYouTube: youtube.com/timferrissFacebook: facebook.com/timferriss LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/timferrissSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Clone force 99 is on the run, but where can they go to get help? Who will help them? We don't have to wait long to have that answer.

Growing a loyal podcast audience that keeps you at the top of the charts takes time. Batch record your episodes. It is more efficient and ensures you have a bank of recordings to fall back on. Don´t underestimate the work involved. Editing, marketing, socials and dealing with sponsors is time consuming. Hiring help ensures everything always gets done to a high standard and makes it much easier to be consistent. Regularly review how your podcast is performing and don´t be afraid to make changes and try new things to keep things fresh and attract a bigger audience. BEST MOMENTS“Podcasting is a slow burn.”“Set realistic goals and just keep going.”"Another way to avoid burnout is to outsource your content."“When people join the agency, we try and get them to number one in the charts and with a lot of our podcasts, we manage to do that.”“Do not be afraid to just completely tear it apart, start again, regenerate yourself into something new … you're giving yourself another shot at what people might be interested in.”EPISODE RESOURCESThe Easiest Way to 10x Your Content (Without Re-recording).Here's an Apple link to it: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-easiest-way-to-10x-your-content-without-re-recording/id1592722911?i=1000729186762VALUABLE RESOURCESWebsite - https://disruptivemedia.co.ukWant to get into podcasting but need a little push?

They know how to be authentic, intentional, and drop hooks that make people actually want to watch. No matter what kind of video's you make, what can you learn from how short-form creators do it?In this episode of The Visual Lounge, host Matt Pierce explores how creators, educators, and businesses can borrow the best parts of short-form video to make any kind of video more effective. Matt unpacks why lo-fi, authentic content often outperforms polished production, how to apply short-form storytelling techniques to training and learning videos, and what it means to create “content like short-form” rather than “for short-form.”He also shares practical insights on hooks, energy, experimentation, and repurposing, plus how AI tools are helping teams create faster without losing their human touch.Learning points from the episode include:00:00 – 02:14 The rise and impact of lo-fi, authentic short-form video02:14 – 03:08 Why short-form video matters for all creators 03:08 – 05:05 Make content like short-form, not for short-form05:05 – 07:01 How to make any topic engaging07:01 – 07:27 Keep things moving to keep viewers engaged 07:27 – 08:20 Why energy makes your videos more engaging08:20 – 09:13 Experiment often and use feedback to improve09:13 – 12:31 Hook your audience early with curiosity and story12:31 – 16:04 Batch produce and repurpose your videos 16:04 – 16:59 How AI can help you create and edit faster16:59 – 18:23 Choose the right video length for your audience18:23 – 18:48 Keep learning from short-form creators as trends evolve 18:48 – 20:17 Lo-fi and authentic content builds real connection 20:17 – 21:27 Outro Important links and mentions:TechSmith Unlocked: https://discover.techsmith.com/techsmith-unlocked-2025/ Camtasia: https://www.techsmith.com/camtasia/
Send us a textWe taste Booker's Jerry's Batch, honor Jerry Dalton's legacy, and tell the story of how a painting, a vintage serial number, and a shared hunt formed our friendship. The pour leads to a rare perfect score as we break down vanilla glaze, caramel apple notes, and a finish that glows more than it burns.• why Jerry Dalton matters to Beam's lineage • nine-warehouse blend and what 11.1% signals • uncut, unfiltered texture vs ethanol bite • vanilla frosting, caramel, tart apple, soft peanut • rating system and the 19/18 first for our show • availability, pricing chatter, and shop shoutouts • upcoming Garrison Brothers guest and schedule • private select pre-sale details and holiday plans • member perks, where to listen, and community asksMake sure that whatever medium you're following and listening to, leave good feedback for us, leave us a good rating, give us some five stars. Make sure that you subscribe, but also become a member. Our Maker's Mark private select is available for pre-sale—ask to join the pre-sale group.A bottle, a painting, and a friendship walk into a bourbon festival—what came out the other side just made our show's history. We're pouring Booker's Jerry's Batch and raising a glass to Jerry Dalton, the chemist-turned-master distiller whose quiet influence shaped the way Beam thinks about maturation, blending, and consistency. This release leans into nine warehouses and seven production dates to build a profile that somehow hits high-proof power and easy-drinking sweetness at the same time.We talk through the nose—vanilla bean, butterscotch, a flicker of char and that signature peanut—then dive into a palate that surprised us: vanilla glaze, thick caramel, and a tart green-apple spark that keeps everything bright. The body coats without crowding, the ethanol stays in check, and the finish trades harsh burn for a warm, caramel-vanilla glow that lingers. If you've chased batches like Kitchen Table or On the Rocks, this one keeps the Booker's soul while dialing up approachability. If you're new to uncut, unfiltered bourbon, Jerry's Batch is a welcoming first step at 124.7 proof.Along the way, we revisit the origin of our show's bond—an art piece signed by Fred and Freddie Noe and a vintage serial number that kicked off years of tasting together—and we unpack how warehouse microclimates, proof, and texture shape flavor. We also share availability and pricing anecdotes, shout out a stellar local retailer, and preview an upcoming conversation with Garrison Brothers, plus our end-of-year plans and private select pre-sale.Pour a glass and taste with us. If this breakdown hits, follow the show, leave a five-star rating, share it with a friend who loves barrel-proof bourbon, and tell us what you're getting on the finish.

ABOUT THIS EPISODEIf your calendar's been bossing you around, babe, this is your reset. In today's episode of Confident & Empowered Women, I'm walking you through how to style your week to match your standards—not your stress. We're keeping it capacity-led, we're time-blocking on purpose, and we're building a schedule that actually supports your energy, your priorities, and your peace.I'll show you how to protect your bandwidth, lock in the real needle-movers, and carve out deep work, meetings, and self-care—without flirting with burnout. We're clearing calendar clutter, saying no to those “urgent” but misaligned asks, and adding buffer zones (hello, pit stops) so you can breathe, lead, and show up like the main character of your life.By the end, you'll have a simple rhythm you can repeat weekly—a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside. Calm nervous system. Clear priorities. Results that reflect who you're becoming. Crown on. Let's design it.KEY TAKEAWAYSCapacity First, Commitments Second. Plan your week around energy and focus—not other people's urgency.Busyness ≠ Productivity. A full calendar can still be empty of impact; protect deep work and recovery.Boundaries Are Strategy. Saying no (or “not this week”) is how you safeguard peace and create results.Design, Don't Drift. Do a quick weekly calendar audit: remove, delegate, batch, then block your best hours.CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction: Aligning Your Schedule with Your Standards00:33 Welcome to Confident and Empowered Women01:08 Calendar Overhaul: Protecting Your Energy01:46 The Three F's to Fabulous Fashion for Your Calendar01:56 Fit: Capacity Led Planning04:08 Fabric: Protected Time Blocks07:31 Finish: Starting and Ending Your Day Right08:58 The Peace and Power Two-Step Framework14:19 Saying No: Protecting Your Energy15:04 Conclusion: Designing Your Life for Peace and PowerTHE PEACE + POWER 2-STEPWhen you're styling your week, think of it as the Peace + Power 2-Step—the ultimate framework for a schedule that feels good and gets results.STEP 1: PROTECT YOUR PEACEClear the noise—those draining, misaligned tasks that don't serve you. Create room for what you actually want by eliminating calendar clutter. This is boundaries in action: saying no to energy leaks and designing your week with intention. It's like cleaning that corner of your closet—instant relief and spaciousness.Ask: What drains me? What disrupts my flow? Audit your calendar and tag items to Remove, Delegate, Batch, or Boundary. Protect peace with:Self-care blocks (movement, rest, therapy, prayer)Buffer zones between meetings (Pit Stops—shoutout Brendon)No last-minute adds unless it's a true emergency (spoiler: most aren't)Main Character Energy Moment: Ask, “What would the most peaceful version of me do this week?” Design your calendar from her standards.STEP 2: ACTIVATE YOUR POWERWith peace protected, place your power moves.

Brad Rourke, CEO of Scottie Resources (TSX.V:SCOT – OTCQB:SCTSF), joins us to review the latest batch of high-grade gold assay results from the largest ever drill program, and a number of key ongoing initiatives and further derisking work building towards an upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), with a bulk sample in progress, and an ore sorting study underway at the Scottie Gold Mine Project; located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. We start off reviewing the next batch of high-grade drill results returned from the ongoing planned 25,000 meters exploration program at the Blueberry Contact Zone. Highlights: Blueberry Contact drillhole SR25-370 intersected 7.43 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 18.75 metres (m), including 30.0 g/t gold over 3.3 m at the Lemoffe vein zone (Table 1, Figures 1,2,4). Blueberry Contact drillhole SR25-369 intersected 37.0 g/t gold over 2.85 m at the Blueberry vein zone (Table 1, Figures 1,2,3). Blueberry Contact drillhole SR25-365 intersected 9.99 g/t gold over 4.00 m at the Fifi vein zone (Table 1, Figures 1,2). Blueberry Contact drillhole SR25-367 intersected 61.9 g/t gold over 1.00 m at the Fifi vein zone (Table 1, Figures 1,2). Brad highlights that 4 diamond drill rigs have been turning across the property at the high-priority Blueberry Contact Zone, around the past-producing Scottie Gold Mine, including at the Wolf Zone discovered last season, and at the C & D veins. Brad points out that about 21,000 meters has been drilled thus far, and that the big percentage of that will be infilling areas with tighter spacing, focused on upgrading the resources from inferred to indicated categories at the Blueberry Contact Zone. However many of the holes will also go deeper doing some true exploration work with a focus on expanding the potential open pit and upper portions of the underground resources at both Blueberry and Scottie areas. Ongoing geotechnical and hydrogeology drilling will also provide data to inform mine design and assist efforts with the recent initiation of Baseline Environmental Studies. With all this exploration and fieldwork now underway, the Company remains on track to deliver a low-capex PEA based on a Direct Shipment Ore (DSO) scenario in October. Brad reiterates that the management team and board believes this coming economics study will clearly highlight the significant, untapped value of the Scottie Gold Mine Project. The company then plans to springboard over the Pre-Feasibility Study and head straight into work streams for a Feasibility Study (FS) with actual cost estimates and more detailed economics as the next major economic study to be undertaken. Next we touched on the ongoing 10,000-tonne surface bulk sampling program where they have been blasting and mucking mineralized material from the road-accessible outcropping Bend Vein located on the north end of the Scottie Gold Mine Project. Bulk sample progressing on schedule, where the mucking has now been completed and crushing and transport has commenced down the Granduc road. Brad outlines that this bulk sample will be a nice opportunity to learn more about a number of metrics and provide a nice proof of concept, as well as generating some non-dilutive capital for the Company in the process. When reviewing their direct-ship ore strategy, Brad highlighted that Scottie has one of the closest gold projects to a deep-sea shipping terminal, which based on its location is positioned in one of North America's cheapest commercial shipping lanes to Asia. In addition to the ease of a proposed open-pit mine, which already has an existing mine permit, there is also key external infrastructure in place, such as power lines and hauling roads right to site. Ocean Partners recently participated in a financing for the company this summer, and has expressed interest in the offtake of this material in a development scenario. Wrapping up we discussed the ongoing Phase 2 ore-sorting study underway, that will be a more advanced Feasibility Study level test of upgrading the ore, with the strategy to reduce the amount of waste rock before shipping. Ore sorting could significantly enhance the efficiencies of the overall DSO strategy, and those results are due out in Q4.

John Miniotis, President and CEO and David O'Connor, Chief Geologist of AbraSilver Resource Corp (TSX: ABRA) (OTCQX: ABBRF), join me to review the next batch of silver and gold drill assays returned on September 30th, from the ongoing Phase V exploration program; which is focused on the Oculto East and JAC zones at their wholly-owned Diablillos property in Salta Province, Argentina. These 6 drill holes continue to expand oxide-hosted gold mineralization to the east of the Oculto deposit and oxide silver mineralization within the JAC zone, highlighting the continued strong exploration upside potential across the Diablillos system. Oculto East: Numerous broad zones of continuous gold mineralization intercepted, including: DDH 25-066: 1.0 metre ("m") with bonanza grades of 108.9 g/t gold from 288 m downhole, as well as 18.0 m at 0.97 g/t gold from 353 m DDH 25-069: 24.0 m grading 1.02 g/t gold from 243 m DDH 25-071: 33.0 m grading 0.42 g/t gold from 69 m DDH 25-072: 140.0 m grading 0.57 g/t gold from 262 m, including 8.0 m at 2.60 g/t gold from 338 m JAC: Strong near-surface silver mineralization continues to expand the Mineral Resource potential, including: DDH 25-053: 29.0 m at 65 g/t silver from 85 m, including 7.0 m at 108 g/t silver DDH 25-058: 32.0 m at 100 g/t silver from 58 m, including 2.0 m at 400 g/t silver John pointed out that these latest drill assays highlight the strong continuity of wide gold zones at Oculto East, together with additional near-surface silver mineralization at JAC. Importantly, these results continue to expand both gold and silver resources well beyond the current Mineral Resource conceptual open pit, and they further demonstrate the scale of Diablillos Project to keep growing. Dave shares the key takeaways their geological team is getting from the continued silver mineralization continuing to the west at JAC, while the gold mineralization is continuing to be delineated in Oculto East. He mentions that they now believe the higher-grade gold intercepts are just the top of a porphyry deposit at depth, and more holes will be testing this in the future, as well as the deeper hole targeting a different porphyry target at Cerro Viejo. Additionally, we circle back to the Sombra target identified in the Phase IV drill program last year, and how it is possible that there is a parallel trend that could extend from Sombra up to Oculto East, and that more drilling will focus on that thesis in the future. Wrapping up John takes us through a number of ways that the company could still keep rerating higher, not just based on the thousands of meters of ongoing drilling, but also in light of how significant the higher silver and gold spot metals prices are to their project economics, and how the prior economics were run at substantially lower consensus metals prices. The Company is doing all the derisking work all building towards their ongoing Definitive Feasibility Study due out in early 2026, which in tandem with permits expected to be received, will be the triggers for a construction decision. If you have any follow up questions for John or Dave regarding at AbraSilver, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.

In this episode of the Mob Mentality Show, we dive into the growing tension between the fast rise of Agentic AI systems and the foundational principles of Extreme Programming (XP) and Lean Software Development. As more teams experiment with multi-agent LLM orchestrators like Claude, GPT-4, and others, does the risk of generating untested, low-quality "AI slop" increase—unless guided by tight feedback loops, small batch sizes, and real tests? We ask: - Can Agentic AI truly support Agile and XP practices—or is it working against them - Are we moving toward AI-driven productivity or just automating chaos faster? - What practices can keep teams grounded as tools grow more autonomous? Join hosts Austin Chadwick and Chris Lucian as they explore: - The difference between AI-assisted XP excellence and Agentic AI slop - Real-world dev experiences using multi-agent architectures - How to apply small iterations, pairing/mobbing, and test-first thinking in AI-augmented workflows - The pitfalls of Agentic orchestration without lean guardrails - Why mob programming and XP might be the missing link in managing AI complexity - Tips for maintaining engineering rigor in a world of AI copilots and task runners If you're experimenting with AI in software teams—or trying to balance automation with craftsmanship—this conversation is packed with insights, practical takeaways, and a few strong opinions.
Today, Brad brings on University of Minnesota Extension colleague Jim Salfer to talk through the state of dairy automation. Robots are still going in across the Upper Midwest, but they're also coming out—and the “why” depends on farm goals, labor, barn design, and cash flow.HighlightsAdoption reality: Robots are spreading, yet many farms are re-evaluating fit. Large herds often lean toward automated rotaries (pre- and post-sprays) for sheer throughput; small to mid-size herds may benefit most from box robots—especially when barn flow and labor fit the model.Repair costs that pencil: Plan for $10–12k per robot per year once out of warranty, with $500–$1,000 annual increases as units age. Under warranty is lower; 24/7 equipment inevitably costs more to maintain.Troubleshooting visits: Dips from ~2.7–2.9 milkings/day to ~2.2–2.3 crush production and are hard to diagnose (cow behavior, nutrition, traffic, hardware hiccups).Feeding in robots: Trend has shifted from “all pellets through the robot” to less robot feed overall. Pellets remain reliable; meals can work but often require hardware tweaks (vibrators/lines) and some herds struggle with consistency. Multiple feeds can help target fresh cows but isn't mandatory.Used robots are viable: Dealer-refreshed, recent-model used units can be half (or less) the cost of new. Expect less warranty and potentially higher repairs, but they're a solid on-ramp for younger or capital-tight producers.Rotaries & partial automation: Pre/post sprayers are getting better and can deliver impressive efficiency. Full robotic attachment on rotaries remains complex due to eye-hand coordination challenges, but incremental automation keeps improving labor per hundred cows.Batch milking with box robots: A compelling middle path for pasture-based or capital-limited farms—bring cows up 2–3× daily, run them through multiple boxes, and send them back. You won't maximize 24/7 robot utilization, but you may optimize labor and cash while managing cows like a traditional system.Capital strategy matters: Highly automated, all-robot barns can tie up capital and slow growth; retrofitting modest parlors can free cash to grow cow numbers. Match the system to your growth goals.Crystal ball: Expect three lanes to coexist—(1) retrofit parallels, (2) large new rotaries (increasingly automated), and (3) robots for small/mid herds—plus combo herds (rotary + a robot barn for elite “robot cows”).Bottom line: There's no one “right” technology. Choose the milking system that fits your labor pool, barn flow, capital plan, and temperament for tech and troubleshooting—not what worked for your neighbor.Chapter markers00:00 – Cold open, guest intro & breed banter (Red Angus; black-and-white Holsteins)03:21 – Why talk robots now?

Slam The Gavel Podcast welcomes Edyta (Edie) Hanna Basista. Edie is a civil rights advocate, trauma survivor, and pro se federal plaintiff in Basista & Palacios v. Batch, et al., a landmark constitutional lawsuit filed under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985(3), and 1986, as well as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina. The case names 25 defendants, including judges, elected officials, attorneys, police officers, former spouses, licensed therapists, and state-contracted service providers, for their roles in a coordinated pattern of constitutional violations. Edyta's parental access was severed without a finding of unfitness, without an evidentiary hearing, and without lawful adjudication. Sealed trauma records were unlawfully disclosed. Court access was obstructed through procedural manipulation. Judicial actors refused to recuse despite personal and political conflicts, and retaliation was used to silence her legal efforts. This is not a custody matter, it is a federal civil rights case grounded in binding U.S. Supreme Court precedent and asserting violations of the First, Fourth, Sixth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments, the Supremacy Clause, the ADA, and VAWA. The lawsuit exposes how courts and state-aligned professionals weaponized trauma, disability status, and indigency to deny her access to justice — and how that abuse was not accidental, but institutional. Edyta Basista stands not only for herself, but for every parent, survivor, and disabled litigant who has been denied a fair hearing under law. Her case demands federal enforcement of constitutional rights where state systems have failed, and forces the question: Who protects the rights of the vulnerable when the courts become the violators?To Reach Edie Basista: ehbasista@gmail.com and on Facebook: Edie Basista.Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook: https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536 Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetrihttps://www.zazzle.com/store/slam_the_gavel/about*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

It's back to school and back to routines and for me that means a new season of podcasting and starting this one off with how to maximize our time while our kids are in school. Insane to say but I now have a high schooler and in my many years of having school age children I've learned so much about how to use this time to have time for yourself, get the things done that you need to, catch up with people that you love, fitness & nutrition, take care of appointments and errands… without wasting any time. My goal of this podcast is to give you a really helpful framework for laying out how you will spend those precious hours while your kids are in school. If we don't plan, the time can see like it goes by soooo fast. But if we do have a plan and we don't have wasted or distracted time in between things, we can get so much done and by the time it's school pickup, you feel accomplished and organized and energized and ready to give them the best of you, not the distracted half paying attention version of you. Our days all look different but as mothers that all love our kids and want as much quality time with them as possible, spending the time you aren't with them strategically, will bring so much joy to your life. Get Clear on Your Top Priorities Start with “radical clarity” on what truly matters to you. Take time to define what fulfillment, success, and joy mean in your life. Identify your biggest goals and why they're important – this clarity becomes your compass for how to spend your days. List the things you never seem to have time for… both big and small. Maybe it's projects like organizing the closets or family photos, pursuing a passion or side-business, getting back into shape, or finally starting that project. Connect each task to a purpose. For each priority or goal, be clear on why it matters. For example, you might not love the act of meal-prepping lunches, but you do love the outcome of healthier meals and smoother evenings. When you know why a task is important (to your health, career, family, etc.), it's easier to commit time to it. You're designing your life around what matters most to you, not just reacting to whatever comes up. Plan Your Day, Don't Wing It Design each school-day with intention. Map out your day before it starts... even down to hourly blocks if possible. We're just not good enough to wing it consistently and expect great results. As productivity expert Stephen Covey famously said, “The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.” In other words, slot your highest-value activities into your calendar. If working out, writing a chapter of your book, or having an uninterrupted block for work projects is a priority, schedule it into the hours your kids are at school. Identify your MITs (Most Important Tasks) each morning. A great habit is to choose the top 2–3 tasks that will make your day feel successful if nothing else gets done. Write these down and tackle them early in the day. Batch and align tasks to the right times. Group similar tasks together and do them at the optimal times of day. For example, if you have high-energy or creative time in the morning, use that for deep work or exercise. Save low-energy tasks (like tidying up or answering non-urgent emails) for the later afternoon slump Be realistic and time-conscious. Don't overload your day with a massive to-do list that ignores the realities of time… that just leads to frustration. Remember, we all have the same 24 hours; it's how we use them that counts. Make the Most of School Hours: High-Value Activities to Consider When your kids are at school, think of it as your prime time to tackle the things that are hardest to do when they're around. Plan these hours as if they're gold… because they are! Here are some categories and examples of productive, fulfilling things you can do while the kids are in class: Invest in your health and energy: Get your workout in... go for a run, hit the gym, take a yoga or Pilates class, or do a workout video at home. Prioritize meal prep and nutrition: plan healthy dinners for the week, prep ingredients, or cook in batches. Maybe even schedule that dentist appointment or physical therapy session you've been putting off. Taking care of your physical well-being will boost your energy and mood for the rest of the day. Do deep work or professional tasks: Use the quiet time to focus on work projects or passion projects without interruptions. This could mean building your business (developing a product, marketing, content creation), working on tasks for your job that require concentration, or even starting a side hustle from home. It might be the perfect window to record a podcast episode or write that book or blog you've dreamed about while the house is silent. If you're pursuing a career goal like earning a certification or applying for jobs, dedicate a block of time to that. Treat these school hours as your “deep focus” sessions to really move the needle on work that matters to you. Learn and grow: Take an online course or use the time to read personal development or business books, listen to inspiring podcasts, or practice a hobby (paint, play an instrument, write in a journal). These hours are a gift for personal growth… seize them to feed your mind and passion. Knock out home and life admin tasks: Get your household organized so that evenings can be more relaxed. For example, do the laundry and cleaning in the morning so you're free to play with the kids later. Declutter a room or tackle that messy closet. Run errands strategically: if grocery shopping with your children feels like a nightmare, do it solo while they're at school (or order groceries online for delivery). Take the car for service, go to the bank, or handle appointments (haircuts, doctor visits) during this window. By handling errands and chores now, you won't have them weighing on you during family time. Nurture your relationships and social life: It's healthy and energizing to connect with other adults when you have some free time. Plan a coffee date or lunch with a friend or your spouse once in a while during school hours. Join a local moms' group meetup, or simply call a family member to catch up. Human connection and laughter can recharge you. Also, if you and your partner can swing it, the occasional daytime date while kids are in school... even just a walk or lunch together… can be a fun way to reconnect without needing a sitter. Take care of YOU (self-care time): Yes, productivity includes self-care, because if you burn out, nothing else works well. So don't feel guilty about using some school time for yourself. In fact, schedule it in. Maybe that means enjoying quiet “me time” to recharge: take a relaxing bath, sit in a park with a coffee, or simply revel in the silence at home to meditate or pray. It could be booking a massage, facial, or therapy session guilt-free, since you're not missing family time to do it. Eliminate Distractions and Time-Wasters Guard those school hours from distractions. It's easy to lose precious minutes (which turn into hours) by checking texts, scrolling social media, or getting pulled into emails constantly throughout the day. Identify your personal time-wasters… and nix them. Take an honest look at where your time tends to “leak” away. Is it the rabbit hole of social media? Random online shopping? Unplanned chats with a neighbor or lengthy coffee breaks? We often don't realize how these add up. Use productivity tricks to stay focused. Many parents find techniques like time blocking helpful. Time blocking means scheduling a fixed block (say 9–10:30am) for a specific task or category of tasks… and during that block, you only do that. Accept that things won't always go as planned. We can craft the perfect schedule on paper… and then life happens. Kids get sick, the school calls, the car battery dies, you hit an unexpected wall of fatigue, etc. Productivity experts who are parents stress that you must expect interruptions as a normal part of life rather than an exception. Don't overload yourself or chase perfection. It's tempting to use every kid-free minute to “get everything under the sun done” – and set unrealistically high expectations. It's far better to do a few important things well (and include some self-care) than to do 20 things and be too exhausted to enjoy the evening with your kids. So be realistic and kind to yourself when planning your week. Use habits and routines to stay consistent (but adapt when needed). Establishing regular routines can automate your productivity. For instance, if you always exercise right after school drop-off, soon it becomes second nature and requires less willpower. Maybe 10–11am is always devoted to your top work project, or perhaps you do a 15-minute mindfulness meditation at the same time daily. Routines build momentum and reduce decision fatigue. Celebrate what you did get done. At the end of the day, acknowledge and appreciate the things you accomplished... both the personal (“kept the house running, paid the bills”) and professional. Too often we focus on what we didn't do. Change that habit! Even if your day went off the rails, maybe you managed to comfort a sick child or have an important conversation.. those count too. By recognizing the value in all you do (paid and unpaid), you maintain a positive mindset. Productivity isn't just about checking boxes; it's also about feeling fulfilled. If you ended the day with your kids safe, fed, and loved, and you moved the needle on one personal goal (no matter how small) – that's a win. Plan Your Days, Love Your Afternoons Maximizing your kid-free hours is ultimately about being intentional… with your time, your habits, and your choices. By planning ahead and aligning your daily actions to your biggest priorities, you create a life where your important work and your family time can both flourish. Instead of feeling like the school day “just flies by” in a blur of busy-ness, you'll see tangible progress on your goals and still have energy in the tank when it's time for pickup. That's the true reward here: you get to fully enjoy the afternoons and evenings with your children, being present instead of preoccupied. So remember, a great plan is really about freedom, the freedom to spend your time on the things that light you up and the freedom to be the parent (and person) you want to be. With a little structure and a lot of consistency, you can turn your school-hour routine into a powerhouse of productivity and fulfillment. Plan your days around what matters most, execute those plans with focus (and a dash of flexibility), and watch how much awesome stuff you get done before the school day is even over.
On September 2, 2025, the Republican-led U.S. House Oversight Committee released over 33,000 pages of documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein, covering everything from flight logs and police reports to court filings, DOJ memos, and surveillance footage. Among the new material was a long-speculated video segment showing the so-called “missing minute” from the night Epstein died, which displayed nothing more than a normal transition between cameras, countering years of conspiracy talk. The archive also included non-public location logs from Epstein's flights between 2000 and 2014 and records dating back to his first major investigations in 2005–2006.The release immediately drew criticism, with House Democrats stressing that about 97% of the files had already been public, calling the move more theater than transparency. In parallel, Representatives Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA) initiated a bipartisan discharge petition to force a House vote that would compel the Justice Department to release all remaining unclassified Epstein files still in federal custody. Their effort aims to widen disclosure beyond this selective release, including FBI and U.S. attorney records that remain sealed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:House Oversight Committee releases trove of Jeffrey Epstein files
