We start with some follow up on Joe's rental scam story, as listener Ben suggests the scammers may go the extra mile because they could keep collecting rent for months before anyone realizes the property was never theirs to rent out. Also, another listener writes in with some “Chook Psychology 101." Maria's story is on scammers targeting recent college graduates with fake student loan relief offers, job scams, and rental listings designed to steal personal information, deposits, and money through high-pressure tactics. Joe's story is on Congress pressuring major telecom companies to do more to stop the flood of scam calls and texts still reaching Americans despite billions already being blocked every year. Dave's story is on Android 17 adding new protections aimed at stopping banking scams, including stronger privacy controls and defenses against malicious calls during sensitive actions. Our Catch of the Day is on a text scam where scammers use scare tactics by sending fake messages about court dates and legal trouble.

Are you struggling with chronic symptoms that you can't explain or get rid of, and nothing you've tried has worked? Do you have symptoms all over your body, from rashes to diarrhea to headaches, fatigue, and tinnitus, but no diet, doctor, or supplement you've tried has helped? Do you have a history of estrogen dominance, hypothyroidism, candida, SIBO, IBS, or toxic mold exposure - but even when trying to address these issues, you don't feel better? If so, this episode is for you. On today's episode, I'm diving into salicylate sensitivity. Salicylate sensitivity, or salicylate intolerance as called by some, is an issue that someone can develop for a variety of reasons, but is increasingly common in the chronically ill population. And, unfortunately, it is often overlooked or forgotten about by both conventional and holistic practitioners. That's why, in today's episode, I'm breaking down everything you need to know about salicylate sensitivity. I'll be going over:Salicylate sensitivity symptomsHow to test for salicylate sensitivityWhat salicylates are What foods and medications are high in salicylatesCauses of salicylate sensitivity And a natural treatment pathway to reverse your salicylate sensitivity Salicylate sensitivity is real, but it doesn't have to be a permanent sensitivity. And today, I'm going to show you exactly how to find and address your root causes of salicylate sensitivity.

Does GABA Actually Help With Sleep? What the Research Says for Brain Injury Recovery Someone in our community recently asked me about GABA for sleep. They’d seen it recommended online, understood that sleep was critical for their recovery, and wanted to know whether the supplement was worth exploring or just noise. It’s a genuinely good question. And it deserves a proper answer. In this post, I’m going to walk you through what GABA is, what the clinical research actually shows about its effect on sleep, why the blood-brain barrier debate matters (and why it might not derail the whole argument), and what the evidence says about the relationship between sleep and brain recovery. By the end, you’ll have enough to have an informed conversation with your medical team. I’m not a doctor. I’m a three-time haemorrhagic stroke survivor who has spent years researching the science of brain recovery and interviewing hundreds of clinicians and survivors on the Recovery After Stroke podcast. What I offer is a careful read of the evidence, not a clinical prescription. What Is GABA and Why Does It Matter for Sleep? GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is the brain’s primary inhibitory neurotransmitter. If your nervous system were a car, GABA is the brake pedal. It reduces neuronal excitability, quiets cortical arousal, suppresses the brain’s primary arousal centre (the locus coeruleus), and modulates the HPA axis, the stress-response system that drives cortisol. Most sedative medications work by amplifying GABA activity. Benzodiazepines, for instance, bind to GABA-A receptors to increase chloride channel opening, producing their calming effect. GABA isn’t doing something unusual here – it’s doing something fundamental. The question with supplemental oral GABA is more specific: Does taking GABA as a capsule or powder actually produce meaningful neurological effects? What Does the Research Show? Finding 1 — Oral GABA Reduces Sleep Latency (and EEG Can Measure It) A 2015 clinical trial published in the Journal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology by Yamatsu and colleagues used EEG measurement, actual brainwave monitoring, rather than self-reported sleep questionnaires. One hundred milligrams of oral GABA shortened sleep latency (time to fall asleep) by 5.3 minutes compared to placebo. That might sound modest. But for someone lying awake for 30–40 minutes each night, it’s a meaningful shift. Crucially, this was objective neurophysiological data, not a survey response. (PMID: 26052150) Finding 2 — A 90-Day RCT Showed Improved Sleep Efficiency and Mood A 2024 randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial published in the Journal of Dietary Supplements (Guimarães et al.) gave 200 mg of GABA daily for 90 days to sedentary overweight women also undergoing an exercise program. The GABA group showed significantly improved Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores, significantly reduced depression scores, and improved heart rate variability, a marker of parasympathetic nervous system activity. The HRV finding is particularly interesting. It suggests GABA may be doing something broader than simply reducing sleep latency – it appears to support the overall physiological state that makes rest restorative. (PMID: 38321713) Finding 3 — But a High-Dose RCT Found No Effect Here’s where intellectual honesty matters. A 2023 Dutch RCT (de Bie et al.) published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition gave participants 500 mg of GABA three times daily, 1,500 mg/day total, and found no significant effect on self-reported sleep quality. Fasting plasma GABA wasn’t significantly elevated either, raising real bioavailability questions at that dose. This isn’t a reason to dismiss GABA entirely. It is a reason to pay attention to the dose. The evidence base supports 100–300 mg, not 1,500 mg. Higher is not better, and the non-linear dose response is clinically important. (PMID: 37495019) The Blood-Brain Barrier Debate — and Why the Gut May Be the Point The most common objection to oral GABA supplementation is this: GABA is a zwitterion at physiological pH, meaning it has low lipophilicity and poor predicted ability to cross the blood-brain barrier via passive diffusion. So if it can’t get into the brain directly, how does it produce neurological effects? The emerging explanation involves the gut-brain axis. The enteric nervous system, your gut’s own neural network, has GABA receptors. When oral GABA activates these enteric receptors, it can signal the brain via vagal afferents without needing to cross the BBB at all. Think of it as a side door rather than the front entrance. Supporting this: a 2024 RCT (Li et al.) found that a probiotic strain engineered to increase gut GABA production significantly improved objective sleep duration as measured by wearable devices, alongside reduced cortisol and suppressed HPA axis activity. The mechanism wasn’t direct CNS access – it was gut-brain signalling. (PMID: 39385735) The BBB debate doesn’t negate the clinical effect. It changes how we understand the mechanism. Why Sleep Is Not Optional in Brain Recovery This is the part that I think gets underweighted in recovery conversations — and the research is unambiguous. A 2026 large retrospective cohort study (Muhtar et al., Sleep Medicine) matched over 35,000 stroke patients and found that post-stroke insomnia was associated with a 29% higher risk of post-stroke cognitive impairment and a 30% higher risk of all-cause dementia. The association with Alzheimer’s disease was also significant. (PMID: 41924789) A 2024 observational study from Monash University and Alfred Health (Smith et al.) found that in stroke rehabilitation patients, poor sleep quality was significantly associated with higher fatigue severity and lower salivary BDNF gene expression. BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) is one of the primary molecular drivers of neuroplasticity. Less BDNF means a less receptive environment for the neurological rewiring that rehab is trying to build. (PMID: 38802847) And then there’s the glymphatic system: the brain’s waste-clearance mechanism that is most active during deep sleep. Poor sleep means reduced clearance of metabolic byproducts, including proteins associated with neurodegeneration. This is not a theoretical risk. It is an active, ongoing process. Sleep is not passive recovery. It is one of the primary mechanisms of recovery. What to Do With This Information Here are three practical steps if you’re exploring GABA for sleep: 1. Measure your sleep baseline first. Use the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (freely available online) before you make any changes. Understanding whether you’re struggling with latency, duration, or quality will determine what you actually need to address. 2. If you trial GABA, choose the right form and dose. Look for PharmaGABA — naturally fermented GABA, derived from Lactobacillus hilgardii, which has the strongest clinical evidence base. A dose of 100–300 mg taken 30–60 minutes before bed is consistent with the positive studies. Avoid very high doses; the null result at 1,500 mg/day is important context. Important drug interaction note: If you are taking benzodiazepines, anticonvulsants (gabapentin, pregabalin, valproate), or any other GABAergic medication, discuss GABA supplementation with your prescriber before adding it. The additive sedative effect is a real risk. The same applies if you drink alcohol regularly. 3. Don’t skip the foundation. Sleep hygiene interventions, consistent sleep and wake times, a dark and cool room, and no screens in the 60 minutes before bed, are consistently among the highest-leverage sleep interventions in the literature. GABA may provide a genuine incremental benefit. But it cannot compensate for a fundamentally disrupted sleep environment. The Bottom Line The evidence for GABA and sleep is more substantive than I expected when I started researching it. The EEG data is real. The 90-day RCT showed meaningful clinical outcomes. The gut-brain axis mechanism is biologically plausible and now has direct RCT support. And the consequences of poor sleep in neurological recovery are not trivial – they are quantifiable, significant, and, to a degree, addressable. GABA is not a guaranteed fix. Individual responses vary. The research is not yet definitive at the level of large multi-centre trials in neurological populations. But as one tool in a comprehensive approach to sleep quality alongside good sleep hygiene, appropriate medical support, and consistent rehabilitation, the case for cautious exploration is reasonable. The next step is a conversation with your neurologist, GP, or rehab physician. Take the research with you if it’s useful.

Il tema non è solo difensivo: la normativa diventa una variabile strutturale per M&A, private equity, industria strategica e investimenti esteri.* Caso Ferretti-KKCG sotto osservazione. Il governo valuta la richiesta di golden power avanzata dal socio KKCG. Il dossier conferma che nautica, manifattura avanzata e asset industriali italiani restano al centro dell'attenzione strategica.* Difesa: EDGE pronta a investire in Italia. Milano Finanza segnala un piano da 3 miliardi di euro del gruppo emiratino EDGE. Indicazione positiva: la difesa si conferma uno dei settori con maggiore capacità di attrarre capitali esteri, tecnologia e partnership industriali.Fisco, Normativa e Capitale UmanoTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / Repubblica / Moneta* Concordato preventivo 2026-2027 in fase di test. Il Sole 24 Ore evidenzia i primi passaggi operativi in attesa delle modifiche al decreto fiscale. Tema chiave per imprese e professionisti: prevedibilità fiscale e compliance diventano leve competitive.* Rientro dei cervelli: bonus non rafforzati. Repubblica segnala il mancato aumento degli incentivi per chi rientra in Italia. Tra i KPI: detassazione ridotta rispetto al passato e beneficio ordinario su 5 anni, estendibile a 10 anni in casi specifici come acquisto casa o figli. Criticità: il Paese rischia di perdere competenze qualificate proprio mentre imprese e PA cercano profili ad alta produttività.* Casa e affitti: richiesta di IMU più leggera. Moneta affronta il tema degli sfratti rapidi e degli incentivi fiscali per chi affitta. Indicazione positiva: una fiscalità più equilibrata sugli immobili potrebbe aumentare l'offerta abitativa e ridurre tensioni sui canoni.Consumi, Prezzi e Potere d'AcquistoTestate: Repubblica / La Stampa* Il carrello alimentare resta sotto pressione. La Repubblica evidenzia rincari molto rilevanti.* Effetto business: margini sotto stress nella filiera food. La Stampa parla di costi triplicati su alcune produzioni. Per imprese e distribuzione il nodo è duplice: preservare margini e non scaricare integralmente gli aumenti sul consumatore finale.Energia e Geopolitica EconomicaTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / Corriere della Sera / Repubblica / La Stampa / Il Messaggero* Hormuz e Medio Oriente impattano direttamente sui mercati. Le tensioni nell'area spingono energia, trasporti e aspettative d'inflazione. Il rischio principale è la trasmissione dei costi energetici a beni industriali, logistica e consumi.* Europa-Golfo: energia, difesa e infrastrutture. Il Sole 24 Ore segnala la missione di Meloni allo Europe Gulf Forum. Focus su energia, investimenti, difesa, infrastrutture e corridoio IMEC, con Trieste e Adriatico candidati a diventare hub logistici tra Asia ed Europa.* Biocarburanti come opportunità europea. Il Sole 24 Ore legge i biocarburanti come leva industriale e strategica. Indicazione positiva: l'Europa può ridurre dipendenze energetiche, sostenere filiere agricole-industriali e accelerare la transizione senza indebolire la competitività.Lavoro, Welfare e DemografiaTestate: Corriere della Sera / Il Foglio – Inserto* Longevità e sanità: costo sociale crescente. Il Corriere evidenzia il tema dell'invecchiamento: più anni di vita, ma non sempre in buona salute. Per imprese e policy maker il punto è la sostenibilità del welfare e la prevenzione come investimento produttivo.* Industria senza operai: rischio strutturale. Il Foglio richiama la scomparsa progressiva di competenze manuali e tecniche. Indicazione positiva: formazione professionale, ITS e riqualificazione possono diventare una leva concreta di produttività.

Is IBS still running your life - even though you've tried the low FODMAP diet? Are you cutting out more and more foods, following all the “rules", taking probiotics or supplements, and still dealing with bloating, indigestion, and abdominal pain? Or maybe the low FODMAP diet worked at first, but now your IBS symptoms are creeping back in and you're wondering, why did it stop working? If you said yes to any of these questions, this episode is for you. Today, we're talking about one of the most recommended IBS treatments out there: the IBS low FODMAP diet. This was the diet I put myself on in 2015 when my IBS, constipation, and bloating started. It was the diet I followed perfectly for 2 years because it helped reduce my symptoms, but it never fully healed my gut, and every time I tried to reintroduce foods, all my symptoms came rushing back. Now, after working with hundreds of clients with IBS for over 8 years, I've heard this story over and over and over again. So on today's episode, I'm diving into WHY the low FODMAP diet is not working for thousands of people with IBS (likely millions) - and what to do instead to find IBS relief. In today's episode, we'll talk about:What the low FODMAP diet isWho developed itHow the low FODMAP diet for IBS theoretically is supposed to workWhy, for many people, the low FODMAP diet isn't helpingWhat to do instead to find your real IBS causes and get the IBS treatment you need to permanently reverse your IBS Because removing foods isn't the same thing as healing your gut. And if your low FODMAP diet isn't working… there's a reason. Let's go find it.

De eerste twee maanden van het nieuwe kabinet lieten meteen zien onder welke druk het minderheidskabinet van Rob Jetten moet presteren. Ze werden direct in een wereldwijde crisis gestort, met dramatische gevolgen voor de energiezekerheid, grondstofketens, economische perspectieven en geopolitieke dreigingen. Stevige parlementaire meerderheden zijn niet in zicht en de polder is balsturig. Toch heeft het kabinet op vier grote thema's panache getoond. Soms zonder dat de buitenwacht daar erg in had, noteren Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger. Maar op drie grote thema's is de mist nog niet opgetrokken. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken. Word ook vriend van de show! Heb je belangstelling om in onze podcast te adverteren of ons te sponsoren? Zend ons een mailtje en wij zoeken contact. *** Meest in het oog liep natuurlijk het 'asiel en migratie dossier'. Jetten gunde de VVD na tal van vergeefse pogingen – ook al onder Rutte - om dit nu echt te regelen af te ronden. Bart van den Brink, de CDA-vicepremier, bleek bereid de wetgeving van VVD'er David van Weel - die hier PVV'er Marjolein Fabers werk voortzette - in de Senaat te verdedigen en zo af te ronden. Maar de Senaat is na ‘Schoof’ een mijnenveld. De grootste partij bij de Eerste-Kamerverkiezingen van 2023, de BBB, is daar in splinters uiteen gevallen, zoals ook PVV en BBB 'aan de overzijde'. De labiliteit werd nog verhevigd doordat Geert Wilders bijna te laat ontdekte dat succes voor Van den Brink juist voor zijn PVV funest zou zijn. Diens opdracht was duidelijk: de linkerzijde niet frustreren, de rechterzijde vastpinnen op hun eigen 'strengste beleid ooit' en voor SGP en CDA humane uitvoering daarvan garanderen. Lukte hem dat, dan zou de PVV zijn aanpak moeten omarmen en vastzitten aan met hem solidair meewerken aan het aanstaande EU-migratiepact. Prompt dwong Wilders zijn senatoren tot allerlei pirouettes om te voorkomen dat zij de wetgeving van hun 'kanjer' Faber nog zouden moeten steunen. Deze absurde situatie werd nog potsierlijker door manoeuvres bij D66. Premier Jetten had misschien toch wat Lubberiaans 'even meedenken' in eigen kring moeten toepassen. Anders dan het beeld na afloop kwam Bart van den Brink toch met winst uit de strijd. Hij kan in hoog tempo nu effectieve, uitvoerbare en humane wetgeving voorleggen en beide Kamers uitdagen nu wél hun werk te doen. In zijn eigen partij, het CDA, zal hij wel even moeten uitleggen dat dit resultaat geen reden tot ‘teleurstelling over weinig steun voor kabinet’ is (het commentaar van CDA-leider Henri Bontenbal), maar juist kans biedt zich te profileren als gedegen partij. Zeker ten opzichte van VVD en PVV die keer op keer niet leverden bij 'asiel'. Het kabinet kan intussen profiteren van grote doorbraken tijdens de Eurotop op Cyprus. Bij de Straat van Hormuz, de steun aan Oekraïne, energienoodbeleid en de praktische uitwerking van de rapporten Draghi en Letta zit Nederland daadwerkelijk aan tafel – het staat niet meer op het menu. Het nationale energiepakket van het kabinet bleek zó doelgericht te zijn ingevuld, dat ook gepatenteerde klagers over Haags beleid opvallend stil waren. Zelfs de boeren en de vissers! Ook bij de Voorjaarsnota kon de coalitie een reeks stappen zetten met wisselende Kamermeerderheden. Daarmee lijkt naar Prinsjesdag het pad geëffend. De onzekerheden zijn nog groot, ook geopolitiek gezien, en VVD-minister Eelco Heinen heeft er een handje van problemen door te schuiven - hij lijkt meer op de voormalige Griekse minister Yanis Varoufakis dan op een strakke Onno Ruding (CDA, kabinetten-Lubbers I en II) of Jeroen Dijsselbloem (PvdA, Rutte II). Drie mistbanken hangen nog voor de kust bij Scheveningen. Het noodzakelijke sociaal akkoord van kabinet en polder vertoont weinig dynamiek. De druk neemt toe nu blijkt dat het kabinet-Schoof in de WIA nog veel meer gaten en problemen achterliet. Enkele signalen gaf Jetten wel al af, zoals bij verzachting bij ingrepen in de bijstand. In het CDA klinken niettemin zorgen over het al te liberale karakter en de toonzetting daarbij van de coalitie. De uitgestoken hand valt minder op dan de permanente campagnestand van de VVD en onwennigheid bij D66 in haar rol als leidende coalitiepartij. Mistig is ook de grote aangekondigde hervorming in de zorg van VVD-minister Sophie Hermans en CDA-minister Mirjam Sterk. Het beteugelen van de kosten is geen rocket science - de Duitse coalitie van CDU/CSU en SPD is met precies hetzelfde bezig. Gek genoeg dreigen hier vooral in de VVD problemen. Eigen bijdragen voor meer gefortuneerde ouderen is in die partij sinds Rutte II een doembeeld. De strijd kon hier weleens vooral door VVD’ers onderling gevoerd gaan worden. Waar de mist nu zou kunnen optrekken, is bij de 'taskforce toekomstige welvaart en vestigingsklimaat'. Op Cyprus is met het stevige EU-pakket 'One Europe, One Market' een doorbraak mogelijk met de concrete aanpak van de rapporten Draghi, Letta, Wennink en de door Heinen zo bepleite 'Kapitaalmarktunie'. Nederland kan als lid van de E6-kopgroep van grote economieën van de EU voortrekker zijn. Hier moet vóór de Franse presidentsverkiezingen concreet 'geleverd' worden, beseffen alle betrokkenen. Kabinet en Kamer kunnen hiermee meteen aan de slag om economie, kennis en technologie te versterken. *** Verder luisteren 579 - De geur van wilde beesten - hoe overleeft een minister de eerste weken? 575 - Nederland staat niet langer op het menu, maar zit aan tafel 568 – Alsof hij er al jaren stond: het debuut van premier Rob Jetten 563 - Als minderheid meerderheden maken 557 – Hoe overleeft Rob Jetten het premierschap?

Major U.S. stock indexes have rebounded sharply in recent weeks. Our CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Mike Wilson discusses the fundamentals that could support the continuation of the bull market.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist. Today on the podcast, I'll be discussing why I remain bullish even after such a strong run in stocks. It's Monday, April 27th at 11:30am in New York. So, let's get after it. The U.S. equity market just experienced one of the most dramatic bounces in history from a technical standpoint. It went from oversold to overbought territory in just 12 days. Based on our conversations, the speed of this move has led some to express caution about the near-term path of equities – but that's the way it usually works. The market waits for no one once it decides to move on. From our perspective, this feels like last year. Many investors are contemplating the lagging impacts of higher commodity prices on inflation just like they were thinking through the effects of higher tariff rates a year ago. Many companies will feel the downstream impacts on a lagging basis. But we believe equity indices and many subgroups already suffered enough damage to account for these concerns. In other words, the equity market isn't simply looking past the risks, it already priced them. Take into consideration that the earnings picture is much stronger today with forward 12-month earnings growth approaching 25 percent versus just 9 percent a year ago. As well, we still hear many commentators suggesting that growth is only coming from a handful of stocks. While mathematically that is a fair point for the top-heavy S&P 500, it doesn't acknowledge that forward earnings growth for the median company and for small caps is also well into the double digits. This cadence is very different from the prior three to four years when the economy was experiencing a rolling recession. It also supports our rolling recovery and broadening thesis we laid out a year ago. So far, the first quarter earnings season has delivered a 10 percent beat rate in aggregate. This is two times the long-term average. More importantly, second quarter and forward 12-month company guidance have increased by an additional 2 to 3 percent. Besides earnings beat rates and guidance, we are also watching capex guidance and signs of pricing power. We entered 2026 with a view that the capex cycle was gaining momentum, thanks to three tailwinds: First, strong earnings and cash flow, which tend to correlate with capex. Second, tax incentives from the BBB; and third, strong demand for the AI buildout and reshoring of manufacturing. Early indications on this front are supportive with median stock capex growth running almost 10 percent, and our factor work continuing to show that the market is rewarding high capex. It's important to see these trends continue as the quarter progresses, especially this week when the hyperscalers are scheduled to report. Another point; given potential downstream cost headwinds from the Iran war, we want to see pricing power and top line durability persist. Early indications here are also supportive with sales surprises for the S&P 500 running well above average and close to 2 percent. Finally, as noted in prior podcasts, one of the last hurdles for the market to overcome was the Fed's recent hawkish pivot on higher oil prices and the transition of its leadership from Jay Powell to Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh. This past week, Kevin Warsh appeared in front of the Senate. He signaled some caution on near-term rate cuts, noting that inflation risks are not resolved. He also reiterated his well-established criticism of the Fed's historic willingness to intervene in markets and the economy too aggressively with its balance sheet. Every Fed Chair transition typically requires a learning period for the markets where they test the new chair's resolve and figure out how to interpret his or her communication style. This time should be no different and could lead to some corrective price action in the near-term caused by short spikes in bond volatility or stress in funding markets. In my view, the Treasury and Fed will be able to manage these risks in the end leaving the bull market intact. Thanks for tuning in; I hope you found it informative and useful. Let us know what you think by leaving us a review. And if you find Thoughts on the Market worthwhile, tell a friend or colleague to try it out!

In this powerful episode of The On Purpose Podcast, Jerrod Hardy sits down with Jenny Chan, co-founder of Pacific Atrocities Education, to uncover a side of World War II history that's often overlooked—and why it matters today more than ever.What began with discovering her grandmother's wartime artifacts turned into a mission to document forgotten atrocities in Asia and challenge the narratives we've been taught. Jenny shares how history, when incomplete, can shape how we think, lead, and make decisions in the present.This conversation goes beyond history—it's about truth, awareness, and the responsibility we carry to learn, question, and lead with intention.Connect with Jenny Chan at Pacific Atrocities Education (learn more & explore archives)Thank you to our sponsors Dr. Elise Rigney and Missions PurposeGet your free training on the impact of the Big Beautiful Bill:https://www.dreliserigney.com/BBB-opt-inMissions Purpose community:https://www.skool.com/missionspurposeFuel your long runs with Never2 (code NEVERSECOND15):https://never2.com/The On Purpose PodcastWant more from the show?

Sort of, yes, kind of, more than before... It's just us this episode, chatting about some fun new fragrance releases (Vacation's new Orange Gelée collection, Born To Stand Out, etc), some BBB [beautiful but basic] fragrances (Guerlain's wedding collection, yet another Born in Roma, etc), and some ones we do not quite understand, but "sure, why the hell not?"

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a vital protective mechanism that shields the brain from harmful substances, but it also poses a significant challenge in treating neurological diseases. For patients with aggressive brain tumors or neurodegenerative conditions, the BBB can prevent life-saving therapies and chemotherapeutic agents from reaching their targets, leaving limited treatment options. In this episode of Curing with Sound, we speak with Ying Meng, MD, PhD, a neurosurgeon and scientist at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and the University of Toronto. Dr. Meng is at the forefront of advancing noninvasive brain therapies, leading efforts to translate preclinical focused ultrasound research into clinical application. She shares insights from groundbreaking clinical trials using focused ultrasound to enable targeted drug delivery across the BBB for conditions such as pediatric gliomas and breast cancer metastases, as well as insights on liquid biopsy biomarkers. Discussion highlights: The Future of Accessible Treatment: Dr. Meng's perspective on the next decade of innovation, including the potential shift of focused ultrasound procedures from specialized MRI environments to more accessible, bedside settings within standard infusion centers—broadening patient access and improving treatment tolerability. Center of Excellence (COE): Established as a COE in 2016, the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre is conducting research for focused ultrasound in neurology, neurosurgery, urology, orthopedics, gynecology, radiation oncology, and biomedical engineering. The COE program recognizes luminary sites for their excellence in translational and clinical research, training, and patient care. EPISODE TRANSCRIPT ---------------------------- QUESTIONS?

In this episode of the Get More Frank Podcast, Frank Lopes breaks down one of the biggest shifts happening in retail automotive, car sales, dealership sales process, BDC, internet sales, variable operations, and automotive marketing right now: AI is now the third voice in the deal. That is one of the core arguments throughout the webinar transcript, which explains that today's car shoppers are using ChatGPT, AI search, and other AI tools before, during, and after the dealership conversation to evaluate pricing, question fees, compare offers, and decide whether a dealership looks trustworthy. If your dealership is still sending weak, vague, cluttered, confusing, or outdated deal sheets, this episode explains why that is becoming a major problem for car dealerships, dealer principals, general managers, GSMs, sales managers, BDC managers, internet sales managers, salespeople, BDC reps, and automotive marketers. The presentation repeatedly argues that AI is not creating distrust in the deal, it is exposing distrust that already exists. When the deal sheet looks sketchy, the dealership looks sketchy. This episode covers AI in automotive retail, ChatGPT and car buying, car dealership deal sheets, out-the-door price quotes, dealership pricing transparency, automotive lead conversion, BDC and internet sales process, car dealership negotiation, customer trust in car sales, AI-proof deal sheets, dealer marketing, digital retailing, dealer website pricing, and gross profit vs worksheet presentation.Frank walks through how AI reacts when a dealership sends numbers with missing APR, blended rebates, unclear fees, heavy doc fees, undisclosed add-ons, vague labels, or pricing that does not match what is shown on the dealership's own website. In the webinar examples, AI flags those issues directly, questions them, and in some cases tells the customer what to say next or when it may be time to walk away. That is a major shift for car dealership sales, internet lead handling, BDC follow-up, desking, negotiation, and sales process management. The episode also explains why this is not just a desk problem. It is a full dealership growth, lead handling, and marketing conversion problem. If the dealership spends money on Google Ads, Meta ads, third-party leads, SEO, SEM, automotive digital marketing, website traffic, and lead generation, but then sends a bad worksheet that kills confidence, marketing did its job and the deal sheet failed. That connection between traffic, trust, transparency, and conversion is a major part of the presentation. A big section of this episode is dedicated to what an AI-proof dealership deal sheet should actually look like. Frank explains that a better worksheet should read more like a transparent buyer's order, with clearly separated selling price, incentives, fees, taxes, and total out-the-door price. He also shows how adding visible reputation signals, review ratings, BBB ratings, Presidents Award mentions, value-add messaging, maintenance benefits, roadside assistance, loaner vehicles, and clear language around additional rebates can change how AI interprets the deal and how the customer feels about the store. The webinar also cites consumer data used to support the argument that this is already happening now, including the claims that 25% of new-vehicle shoppers used AI tools while shopping, 97% of AI users said AI impacted purchase decisions, and 80% of current car shoppers are open to using AI for research and negotiation tips. If you work in retail automotive, car dealership management, sales training, BDC, internet sales, dealer marketing, digital retailing, automotive SEO, AI in car sales, dealership lead conversion, or variable operations, this episode is a wake-up call.This is not future talk. This is happening now.

Have you ever found yourself wondering, “Can I ever hope again?"Have you been doing everything you know how to do to heal - and yet the emotional weight of chronic illness still feels crushing?Or maybe you wouldn't even call it depression… but you feel numb, exhausted, or like hope just doesn't come as easily as it used to. If you said yes to any of those questions, this episode is for you. Today's episode closes out our series exploring the emotional weight of chronic illness. No protocols. No strategies. No fixing. In this Discipleship Series, I've been sharing the things that anchored me on my journey toward wholeness — even in seasons where I felt like I was making absolutely no progress. The goal is simple: to slow down and talk about the matters of the heart. To sit together for a moment and ask — with who you are right now, not the future healed version of you — how do you tend your heart? How do you find hope again when chronic illness and depression feel intertwined? This is for you if you've been sick for months or years. And if you're not sure you'd call yourself chronically ill, but you've been carrying something heavy for a long time, this is for you too. In today's episode, we're diving into:Chronic illness and depressionWhat to do when hope feels dangerous or painfulHow to balance the emotion of hope without devalidating or suppressing your personal experienceSharing my personal story of how I found hope in the middle of chronic pain, loneliness, no answers, and no reason to see a future where anything was different If you've been doing everything you know how to do and you're still not better, I hope this episode meets you exactly where you are. Not to fix you. Not to promise a breakthrough. But to strengthen something inside you that illness may have been quietly wearing down. P.S. In this episode, I'll be sharing from my own faith background, because that's where many of these lessons were shaped for me. But these conversations are for anyone who's looking for steadiness, meaning, and hope in the middle of a hard season. I hope this blesses you.
