Podcasts about Behavior

Many online businesses fail to grow not because of bad products, but because of bad hiring. In this episode of The Opportunity Podcast, Greg speaks with Mads Singers, a management coach who runs multiple recruitment businesses, to talk about where founders go wrong when building teams. One of the most important hiring considerations is cultural fit. Culture is defined by behavior, not by what's written on your website, but by what you allow. If missed deadlines slide or high performers behave poorly without consequences, that becomes the standard. New hires quickly adjust to whatever they see around them. We also discuss why personality often matters more than experience. Skills can be trained. Behavior is much harder to change. Matching someone's natural strengths to the role dramatically increases your odds of success. Mads also reveals how he finds the best talent. The strongest candidates are usually already employed. If you're just posting a job ad and waiting, you're likely missing them. Expanding your reach and being proactive increases your chances of finding someone exceptional. And if you're hiring a specialist in an area you don't understand? Borrow expertise. Bring in someone knowledgeable to assess technical skill, then set clear expectations from day one. Mads explains that hiring isn't about filling seats. It's about building a team that solves problems without you. That's what turns a stressful job into a scalable, sellable asset. If you're hiring right now, planning to hire, or feeling frustrated with your current team, this episode is worth a listen.

Pediatrician and certified coach Jessie Mahoney discusses her article "Disruptive physician labeling: a symptom of systemic burnout." Jessie argues that the rising number of "disruptive" labels slapped on highly skilled doctors is not a failure of character but a predictable response to a broken health care system. She explains how burnout and moral injury deplete emotional reserves, leading to reactivity that institutions punish rather than heal. The conversation advocates for replacing punitive measures with evidence-based coaching to restore physician well-being, improve retention, and ensure patient safety.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Yusuf (by Healthy Mind by Avik™), we explore a simple truth: sometimes the best healing tool isn't control—it's presence. Veterinarian and molecular biologist Jeff Feinman shares how his own experience with chronic symptoms reshaped the way he sees “clinical signs” in animals. This conversation is for pet parents who feel anxious when something seems off, and for anyone tired of quick fixes. You'll learn a calmer framework for supporting your pet's wellbeing through presence, acceptance, patience, and trust—plus a practical way to track progress that goes beyond fear and urgency. About the Guest: Jeff Feinman is a veterinarian and molecular biologist who integrates conventional veterinary training with holistic approaches like homeopathy and energetic perspectives. He's the author of an upcoming book on pet wellness and teaches through his platform HolisticActions.com. Episode Chapter: 00:03:10 — A new definition of pet wellness: healing through presence 00:04:37 — Jeff's turning point: symptoms as signals, not “problems” 00:07:19 — The “fixer mindset” and why it keeps us stuck 00:09:18 — How our stress shapes our pet's nervous system and behavior 00:12:52 — Pets as teachers of the present moment 00:13:49 — The PATH framework: Presence, Acceptance, Trust, Health 00:17:03 — BEAM check-in: Behavior, Energy, Appetite, Mood Key Takeaways: Shift from “remove the symptom fast” to “support balance over time.” Use PATH: Presence, patience, perseverance + Acceptance + Trust → Health. When your pet is anxious, regulate your breathing first—slow and steady. Track healing with BEAM: Behavior, Energy, Appetite, Mood (early signals matter). Let pets lead you into the present moment—play, nature, connection, stillness. Don't fight what's happening; work with it and watch for gradual improvement.

Educators are exhausted, overextended, and still trying to show up fully for kids. So what does it actually look like to build a sustainable life and career in schools instead of just surviving the year?​ In this episode of Aspire to Lead, Joshua Stamper sits down with Kim Gameroz to celebrate the launch of her new book Becoming the BISON and explore how teachers can "be intentional so others notice" in ways that protect their wellness, elevate their impact, and spark real change on campus.​ Kim shares why she believes educators are like bison. They move bravely into the storm rather than away from it. She unpacks her core shifts: courage over comfort, clarity over compliance, and connection over control, especially in the face of student behavior, burnout, and broken systems.​ She also pulls back the curtain on her Celebrate Good Times community, the Vibe EDU podcast, and the high energy Vibe EDU live event in Anaheim, designed to surround teachers with a herd that refuses to let them do this work alone. About Kim Gameroz Kim Gameroz, M.Ed., is a change agent and founder of Teaching Inside Out, revolutionizing classrooms through a systematic approach to teaching social and emotional skills. With over 15 years of experience coaching, training, and mentoring educators, students, and families globally, Kim has spoken at numerous conferences, consults for school districts, serves on SEL panels, and contributes to various publications and podcasts. Through Teaching Inside Out, as well as her second company, SELebrate Good Times, she has created a supportive community for heart-centered educators nationwide where she is committed to making teachers feel seen, valued, and SELebrated at her events and teacher retreats. Kim's upcoming book, "Becoming The Bison," is set to be published in 2025. She currently resides in Dallas, Texas with her husband, Shaun, and son, Wyatt, and is looking forward to spreading her knowledge of SEL and best practices in teaching even further to schools, districts, and homes around the world.

Recorded live at SocialPacific 2025 in North Vancouver, Ben Wise and Darren Chiu, co-founders of Captivate, join guest host Rachel Thexton to explore the art and science of human behavior.Captivate translates academic psychology into practical tools for marketers, sales teams, and leaders, helping them communicate in ways that actually move people.They unpack why most marketing falls flat by being overly rational, how emotional decision-making really works, and why storytelling, including friction, consequences, and vulnerability, remains one of the most powerful tools in business. Because whether you're selling to consumers or corporations, you're always selling to a human.Produced by TAKT.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows a majority of Americans believe President Donald Trump has become erratic with age during his second term. The survey also finds nearly 8 in 10 respondents believe elected officials in Washington are too old to represent most Americans.

For a lot of disability parents, the behavioral side of our child's diagnosis often gets judged the fastest and is understood the least. It's also another part that can make us feel like we're failing, because it's so hard to “control.”In this episode, Alyssa talks with Annie and Katie about behavioral disability and nervous system dysregulation in rare disease parenting. We cover what it looks like when behaviors don't fade with age, how it changes when kids get older and stronger, and what it's like to live in constant hypervigilance especially when there are siblings in the mix.We also dig into isolation, exclusion (even in disability spaces), and why access to services can depend on having the “right” labels beyond a rare disease diagnosis. If you've ever felt like this part of your child's disability is the hardest to explain and the heaviest to carry, this episode is for you.And our FUEL The Rare Life fundraiser is live!

Manhattan prosecutors in New York played a troubling role in allowing Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse to continue largely uninterrupted. As journalist Jane Coaston detailed, a Manhattan assistant district attorney even petitioned to classify Epstein as a low-risk sex offender—opting to call for the most lenient category possible under the law. This decision had consequences: Epstein never registered in person with the NYPD as required, effectively sidestepping the mandatory check-ins every 90 days—even though a judge explicitly stated this would be a condition of his registration.Meanwhile, New York City authorities seemingly looked the other way. Epstein failed to report his address and skipped the mandatory check-ins for eight years, yet no enforcement actions were taken. In essence, local prosecutors and police enabled his pattern of offending to persist unchecked. By systematically failing to enforce New York's own sex-offender regulations, the state protected Epstein—rather than his victims—allowing him to evade accountability and continue preying on vulnerable girls.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein: the state of New York protected Epstein — not his victims | Vox

Have you ever wondered why two families with nearly identical financial situations can end up in completely different places? It's not because the math was wrong, but because of how they responded when it mattered. Today, I am digging into why financial success has less to do with what we know and more to do with what we actually do when we're staring down competing priorities. I walk through two real client situations in which both families had solid plans but were facing trade-offs among mortgage payoff, 529 contributions, retirement investing, and home upgrades. Same numbers, different behavior. One family saw flexibility as freedom, the other saw debt elimination as emotional relief. I also explore how our sense of security, fear of missing out, and guilt about not doing enough for our kids quietly drive the financial decisions we think are purely logical, and why Morgan Housel's idea that optimism is about perseverance, not perfection, applies to how we parent and plan. Your action step this week: pick one financial behavior that tends to trip you up and simply notice it. Don't judge it. Just observe because you can't improve what you can't see.

HCI senior trainer Michael Lomax joins Megan Hunter to unpack why high conflict behavior is escalating in today's workplaces—and what leaders can actually do about it. Drawing on twenty-five years in workplace dispute resolution, Michael explains why global stress and unresolved trauma are showing up at work, what happens in a leader's brain when they get emotionally hooked, and how to regulate yourself before you respond. You'll learn the "calm before think" strategy for de-escalating upset employees, how to handle a team-wide crisis triggered by one inflammatory email, and when a single conversation with a difficult senior leader simply isn't enough. Whether you're a leader, in HR, or anyone trying to navigate a workplace that feels harder than it used to—this one's for you.Resources from this episode:New Ways for Work Training for Workplace Coaches — March 3 & 5, 2026Leaders Training: Managing High Conflict Behavior at Work — April 23, 2026BIFF at Work by Bill Eddy and Megan HunterMediating High Conflict Disputes by Bill Eddy and Michael LomaxIt's All Your Fault at Work by Bill Eddy and L.

Great ideas don't fail in dealerships because they're bad. They fail because no one installs the behavior fast enough. In this episode of Dealer Talk with Jen Suzuki, Jen breaks down a simple, high-energy methodology to help leaders stop "motivating" and start installing execution inside their stores. Most dealerships don't have a training problem — they have an execution problem. Processes get rolled out. Energy fades. Thirty days later, nothing sticks. Jen shares her proven meeting framework — used at NADA Academy and in high-performing stores — to compress action, build accountability, and make learning fun and sustainable. You'll learn how to: • Pick one behavior and install it fast • Teach a technique in under 20 seconds • Use real examples to drive discussion • Create immediate execution through activity • Run contests that build visibility and accountability • Shortlist, vote, and let the team own the win This is about turning meetings into movement. Not speeches. Not theater. Behavior change. If you're a GM, GSM, Fixed Ops Director, Sales Manager, or Service Manager who's tired of initiatives fading out — this episode gives you a repeatable structure to make things stick. Momentum doesn't come from motivation. It comes from movement. Dealer Talk with Jen Suzuki Podcast |

The 10 Commandments Part 2: Why Your Customer Experience Can't Exceed Your Employee Experience What separates world-class customer experience companies from everyone else? It's not budget. It's not luck. It's a system. In Part 2 of our deep dive into The DiJulius Group's 10 Commandments, John DiJulius and Denise Thompson reveal why exceptional customer experience is impossible without an exceptional employee experience. This episode unpacks Commandments 6-10, covering everything from hiring for character over competence, to building leaders on purpose instead of by accident, to why training must be treated as a product. You'll learn why world-class onboarding has nothing to do with HR paperwork marathons, what's really fueling the retention crisis, and why companies rise to the level of their systems—not their goals. If you're ready to eliminate silos, build leaders who actually lead, and create a workplace people never want to leave, this is your playbook. What You'll Learn: Why hiring for character instead of just technical skills changes everything How to make your interview process 'un-gameable' (even when candidates use AI to prep) The four phases of world-class onboarding—and why most companies only do one The danger of 'accidental managers' and how to build leaders on purpose Why training must be designed, delivered, and certified like a product you'd sell How to eliminate organizational silos that kill customer experience Which commandment creates the fastest impact (and when to start somewhere else) What the customer service revolution will look like in the next 5-10 years Key Insights for C-Suite Leaders "Hire for the heart, train for the part. Technical skills can be taught. Behavior is a lot harder." — John DiJulius "The best companies scare more people out of wanting to work there than they attract—by design." — John DiJulius "Companies don't rise to the level of their goals. They rise to the level of their systems." — Denise Thompson "Your customer experience is your offense. It makes customers come back more often, pay higher prices, and send more people." — John DiJulius "Customers aren't more demanding than ever. They're less tolerant of bad experiences." — John DiJulius Who This Episode Is For CEOs and business owners committed to building world-class cultures VP/Head of HR and People Operations Chief Customer Experience Officers (CXO) Operations leaders struggling with retention and engagement Learning & Development / Training Directors   Links: The DiJulius Group Methdology: https://thedijuliusgroup.com/x-commandment-methodology/ Company Service Aptitude Test:  https://thedijuliusgroup.com/c-sat-forms/individual-c-sat/ Schedule a Complimentary Call with one of our advisors:  tdg.click/claudia Ask John!  Submit your questions for John, to be aired on future episode:  tdg.click/ask Customer Experience Executive Academy: https://thedijuliusgroup.com/project/cx-executive-academy/ Experience Revolution Membership:  https://thedijuliusgroup.com/membership/ Books:  https://thedijuliusgroup.com/shop/ Contacts:  Lindsey@thedijuliusgroup.com , Claudia@thedijuliusgroup.com Subscribe We talk about topics like this each week; be sure to subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts so you don't miss an episode.

Send a textWhat if calm isn't something you find after life settles… but something you practice while everything still feels loud, uncertain, and full? In this episode, I invite you into a deeply real reflection on stress, emotional weight, and the quiet moments of beauty that often go unnoticed in our busiest seasons. From stormy mornings by the water to the science of nervous system regulation and the Stoic wisdom of inner steadiness, this conversation gently challenges the idea that life must be peaceful before we allow ourselves to feel peace. If you've been carrying a lot lately — mentally, emotionally, or physically — this episode is a soft place to land, a reminder that even in the middle of chaos, there are small glimmers of calm waiting to be noticed.Quote of the week:“You have power over your mind — not outside events.

Trust has always been the invisible architecture beneath brands, institutions, and markets. But today, that architecture is shifting. For the past decade, we've moved through distinct eras of trust. First came consequence brands, which positioned themselves around measurable moral impact. Then came emotion-led brands, where what felt right became the guiding force. Now we appear to be entering a third era, where trust is built not on credentials or transparency, but on visible sacrifice and embodied virtue. As institutional continuity weakens and shared reality fragments, credibility reorganizes around individuals. “Proof of knowing” carries less weight than “proof of doing.” Degrees, affiliations, and institutional endorsements are no longer sufficient signals. Instead, audiences look for lived experience, personal risk, and skin in the game. At the same time, many of the platforms designed to increase transparency have reduced everyday vulnerability. But true trust requires vulnerability. As a result, trust is reemerging in smaller, more intimate spaces where shared stakes and emotional exposure create safety. In this episode of Unseen Unknown, Jasmine and Jean-Louis explore how trust systems evolve, why incremental positioning feels insufficient in the current cultural climate, and what this shift means for founders and brands trying to remain credible. When trust becomes the product itself, the rules change.

What does Amazon search behavior reveal about confidence, leadership, and decision-making? In this episode Kalena James explores a powerful insight hiding in plain sight: the second-largest search platform in the United States, Amazon. With over 80 million searches per day, Amazon represents a specific psychological moment. This episode challenges the cultural narrative that confidence must be loud, immediate, and fearless. Instead, it reveals that confidence is often quiet, informed, and strategic.

I'm Dr. Shelly Mahon, your host, and in this episode of the Parenting Well Podcast, I sit down with Stacey J. Acquavella, founder of Neurodivergent Uprising and speaker at our Stress & Anxiety Conference, to explore her powerful message: Regulation Is the Self-Care. Register Here Many parents, especially those raising neurodivergent children, are told to add more strategies, more routines, more coping tools. But when you're already functioning at a deficit, “doing more” only deepens the exhaustion. Stacey reframes overwhelm as a structural issue, not a personal one. You can't self-care your way out of structural overload. Instead, regulation must be embedded into how the day is designed. Things like how transitions happen, how expectations are set, how decisions are reduced, and how environments are shaped help immensely. We talk about survival mode and chronic bracing. The shame undiagnosed parents often carry. The stress of navigating school systems built for neurotypical learners. The difference between behavior management and regulation-based parenting. And why you don't need a diagnosis to begin reducing overload. If you've ever felt like you're constantly on edge or you're bracing for emails, appointments, or judgment, this conversation will help you understand why. And more importantly, it will show you where relief actually begins. In this podcast, we talk about: Self-regulation as the true mechanism of self-care Why adding habits doesn't work when you're already overloaded Removing demands and creating infrastructure instead of adding strategies Why burnout is often a structural problem, not a personal one “You can't self-care your way out of structural overload” Embedding regulation into how the day is designed Getting out of prolonged survival mode and chronic bracing How undiagnosed neurodivergent parents internalize shame Why overwhelm is a math problem; not a character flaw Mindset shifts versus accumulating more parenting strategies Neurodivergent people operating in misaligned systems Behavior management vs. regulation-based parenting Navigating schools and the stress of constant advocacy Standardized testing built for neurotypical brains Changing the environment when it feels locked in place Recognizing nervous system overwhelm without immediately labeling Understanding neurodivergence beyond stereotypes “We don't need a diagnosis to reduce overload.” Key Takeaways: Self-care isn't something you add — it's something you design. Regulation must be built into your daily structure, not layered on top of burnout. Overwhelm is often structural, not personal. When demand exceeds capacity, no amount of mindset work fixes the math. Behavior is often nervous system distress. Regulation-based parenting shifts the question from “How do I manage this?” to “What is overwhelming this nervous system?” You don't need a diagnosis to reduce overload. Support can begin with noticing when a child's (or parent's) nervous system is stretched beyond capacity. Slow signals safety. Fewer words. Lower body posture. Slower speech. These cues communicate “not under attack” to the brain. Systems matter. Instead of teaching children to cope with misaligned environments, we can redesign structures wherever possible. Advocacy without regulation increases stress. Parents navigating school systems need structural support too.

After learning that progress in autism recovery can look uneven, many parents ask a very important question: “How do I know if what we're doing is actually helping?” When behaviors are the only thing we measure, it's easy to miss the quieter, foundational changes happening underneath the surface. Healing starts inside the body first—before it shows up outwardly in communication, learning, or behavior. Here are five signs your child's body may be healing, even if it doesn't look dramatic yet. 1. Changes in Sleep Patterns Sleep is one of the first systems to shift when the nervous system begins to regulate. You may notice: Falling asleep faster Waking more frequently for a period Shorter naps or deeper nighttime sleep Temporary sleep disruptions followed by improvement These changes can be the body recalibrating circadian rhythms and neurological signaling. While sleep shifts can feel frustrating, they often precede cognitive and emotional gains. 2. Digestive Shifts (Yes, Even the Messy Ones) The gut plays a central role in immune function, detoxification, and neurological health. Signs of healing can include: Changes in stool frequency or texture Increased gas or bowel movements Improved appetite or food tolerance over time Temporary digestive discomfort as toxins are released While these changes aren't always pleasant, they often indicate that the body is activating elimination pathways—a foundational step in healing. 3. Increased Emotional Expression As awareness increases, emotions often follow. Children may: Cry more easily Show frustration or excitement more clearly Seek comfort or connection Express preferences more strongly Rather than regression, this can mean your child feels safe enough in their body to express what's happening internally. Emotional expression is a sign of neurological engagement—not loss of progress... Click Here or Click the link below for more details! https://naturallyrecoveringautism.com/240

“If it worked, it would have worked by now.” Many parents quietly think, We've tried everything. Charts. Rewards. Consequences. Punishments. And when none of it works, the blame often falls on you. In this episode, we explore why traditional parenting tools often fail neurodivergent or sensitive nervous systems — and why that failure is not a parenting problem. You'll learn: The assumptions behind charts and punishments — and why they break down under stress Why behavior is driven by the nervous system, not willful defiance How rewards and consequences can create shame instead of skills Why compliance is not the same as regulation We'll reframe what kids actually need: Felt safety before expectations. Co-regulation before independence. Skills taught outside of dysregulation. Key truth: You didn't fail. These tools were never designed for your child's brain. ✨ Regulation first. Skills second. Behavior follows. Invitation: If you're exhausted and questioning yourself, you're not alone. Inside Thriving Together, we teach nervous-system-smart parenting and support parents instead of judging them.

Investigative journalists ⁠⁠Mandy Matney⁠⁠ and ⁠Liz Farrell⁠⁠ and attorney Eric Bland break down the four-day hearing and the stunning moment when Judge Eugene “Bubba” Griffith ruled from the bench that Weldon Boyd does not receive “Stand Your Ground” immunity. The team analyzes Weldon Boyd's day-long testimony, which the judge found not credible.  Central to the ruling was the failure to prove a fundamental core argument that destroyed the defense's credibility: the claim that Scott Spivey shot first. The evidence proved less conclusive, and as Eric explains, when it's perceived a defendant lies about the most important detail, nothing else you say can be believed. The judge's memorable words sum up the case: "Foolish behavior does not require you to foolishly act yourself." We're also examining what this ruling means for Attorney General Alan Wilson, who declined to prosecute criminal charges despite applying the same evidentiary standard the judge just used to deny immunity. With the civil case moving forward and questions mounting about potential criminal charges, justice for the Spivey family remains within reach. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References Jennifer Spivey Foley shared Mark Tinsley's public comments on Facebook

Let me ask you: What if the biggest thing standing between you and your next closed deal had nothing to do with your product knowledge, your pricing, or your pitch? What if it came down to three simple micro behaviors that most salespeople never bother to master? I was speaking to a group of students and marketing professionals at BYU-Idaho recently, and this question came up in a great way. We were talking about what actually drives buying decisions, and I shared something I believe with every fiber of my being: your prospect’s emotional experience with you as they walk through their decision journey is a more consistent predictor of outcome than any other variable. Read that again. Their emotional experience. Not your features. Not your price. Not your killer deck. People are asking five questions as they go through a decision to buy: Do I like you? Do you listen to me? Do you make me feel important? Do you understand me? Can I trust you? If you can get to yes on all five, you win. And the micro behaviors below are exactly how you do it. Micro Behavior #1: Read the Room Authenticity without respect for your audience is arrogance. I know that sounds blunt, but I mean it. I see salespeople all the time who show up however they want to show up, dressed however they feel like dressing, presenting however they feel comfortable, and then wonder why the deal stalled. Being “authentic” does not mean ignoring your buyer. It means showing up for your buyer. When I was in outside sales doing field work, I had clothes hanging in my car on a hanger. If I was walking into a company where everyone wore suits, I put on a jacket and a tie. If I was walking into a manufacturing plant full of people in polo shirts, I changed in the parking lot. When I sold in Clemson, South Carolina, I wore a Tiger tie. I’m a Georgia Bulldog, but I was in their house. Showing up in Clemson with a Dawgs tie would have cost me the deal before I ever opened my mouth. Reading the room is not fake. It is the highest form of respect you can show another person. It says: I see you. I came prepared for you. You matter to me. That one shift, from showing up for yourself to showing up for your buyer, will change your results immediately. Micro Behavior #2: Shut Up and Listen This is the easiest and fastest way to be likable on the planet, and most salespeople still will not do it. When you give another human being your full, undivided attention and actually listen to them, they fall in love with you. I am not exaggerating. I said this to the students at BYU-Idaho and I will say it here: if you just listen to people, they will do almost anything you ask them to do. Why? Because the most insatiable human need is the need to feel important. To feel like you matter. And when you give someone your full attention, you are filling that need in a way that almost nobody else in their life is willing to do. The mechanics are simple. Ask a great question. Then shut up. Resist every urge to jump in, interject, or start mentally composing your response while they are still talking. Just listen. The reason this is hard is that when our mouth is not moving, we do not feel important. We feel like we are losing ground. We feel like silence is weakness. It is not. Silence and attention are your greatest sales weapons. Micro Behavior #3: Tell Them Their Own Story Back to Them This one is where everything clicks together. Once you have listened, here is what you do when you open your mouth: tell them the story they just told you, back to them, in the context of how you can help them. Let me say that one more time because it is that important. When words come out of your mouth, you should be telling your prospect the story they just told you about themselves and their situation, framed around how you can solve their problem. That is it. That is the whole game. This answers the question every buyer is silently asking: “Does this person actually understand me?” And even if you do not get every detail right, if they can see you are genuinely trying to understand, they will still feel it. They will still think: this person cares about me. When you can read the room, listen without an agenda, and reflect their story back to them in a way that connects to your solution, you have answered yes to four of those five buying questions before you ever ask for anything. One More Thing: The Pipe Is Life I was asked at the end of that BYU-Idaho session: “If you could leave us with one thing, what would it be?” My answer was immediate. The pipe is life. It does not matter how likable you are. It does not matter how well you listen. It does not matter if you have mastered every micro behavior in this post. If you do not have a pipeline, none of it matters. The number one reason salespeople fail is an empty pipeline. And the number one reason pipelines are empty is that salespeople stop doing the prospecting work every single day. Especially on the days you are tired. Especially at the end of the day when you just want to go home. Feed the pipe. Pick up the phone. Make one more call. Join Sales Gravy at our next live workshop event.

Send a textWhat does it take for behavior analysts to make a real impact in classrooms—not just on paper, but in the day-to-day reality teachers face?In this episode, Dr. Paulie sits down with Neelima Duncan, CEO of Blue Sky Behavior Therapy, an organization that provides clinical services and partners directly with schools to support educators and students. The conversation grew out of a leadership moment that caught Dr. Paulie's attention—staff speaking about their CEO with pride, respect, and ownership. That kind of culture doesn't happen by accident. It reflects leadership that shows up in behavior.From there, the discussion moves into the heart of the work: how behavior analysts can effectively consult in classrooms, support teachers without overwhelming them, and help schools build systems that actually improve student outcomes.This is a practical conversation about the intersection of ABA, education, and leadership—where technical knowledge meets real-world constraints.In This Episode, You'll LearnHow Blue Sky Behavior Therapy partners with schools to support classroom successWhy the effectiveness of a leader—or a consultant—is reflected in the behavior of the people they supportWhat behavior analysts must understand about classroom realities before recommending interventionsHow to work with teachers as partners rather than positioning yourself as the outside expertWhy simple, practical strategies that produce quick wins drive implementationHow strong leadership inside organizations translates into better support for schools and studentsKey ThemesLeadership You Can See The true measure of leadership is found in how staff behave, speak, and engage when the leader isn't in the room.Consultation That Builds Capacity The goal is not to create dependence on the behavior analyst. The goal is to help teachers feel confident, capable, and successful managing their own classrooms.Context Drives Implementation Interventions only work when they fit the time, demands, and pressures teachers are already navigating.Behavior Is the Common Language Whether you are a teacher, a school leader, or a CEO, performance, culture, and outcomes all come back to behavior and the contingencies shaping it.About the GuestNeelima Duncan is the founder and CEO of Blue Sky Behavior Therapy, an organization providing ABA services across clinic and school settings.

In this episode I interviewed Kristi Dobbs, a dental hygienist and myofunctional therapist from Roberts Integrative Dentistry, about how oral posture, nasal breathing, tongue-tie releases, and simple device and exercise-based therapies can transform sleep, behavior, pain, and overall health.What myofunctional therapy is: muscle-focused therapy for the face, tongue, jaw, and soft palate (like physical therapy for the neck up).Some modern lifestyle contributors to poor jaw development: softer diets, early solids/formula, early tooth removal and braces timing.Common signs linked to oral function problems: narrow palate, long face, gummy smile, mouth-breathing, snoring, TMJ, speech issues, picky eating, digestive problems, plantar fasciitis.The four pillars of myofunctional therapy: nasal breathing, lip seal, correct tongue posture, and proper swallowing.Device options: MyoMunchie (from ~6 months), Myobrace, Myo nozzle/Remplenish, and Invisalign palatal expansion when needed.Tongue-tie approach: pre- and post- myofunctional therapy plus a laser release and suturing to optimize outcomes and retrain function.Timing and commitment: therapy typically runs 12 sessions over ~6 months; results improve with ongoing maintenance exercises but require occasional practice to retain gains.Integration with other therapies: best results come when myofunctional therapy is combined with ENT, SLP, chiropractic, massage/lymphatic work, orthodontics, and other integrative providers.Virtual options: evaluations and much of the therapy can be done via telehealth; surgical procedures require an in-person provider.Contact Kristi Dobbs and Roberts Integrative Dentistry:Myofunctional Therapy Info: https://robertsintegrativedentistry.com/oral-myofunctional-therapy/Roberts Integrative Dentistry Phone and Email:  (417) 246-3029 and office@robertsintegrativedentistry.comMyofunctional Therapy can be performed virtually.Signs and symptoms of disordered breathing: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/#inbox/FMfcgzQfBkQwSbXXmnqckwjRmgSCfkTp?projector=1&messagePartId=0.1New Resource: Breast Health Guide - dailywellnesscommunity.com/breast-health-guide→ Please take 1 minute to show your support of the show!  Apple Podcasts: Sign in and scroll to the bottom to review!https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/daily-wellness-podcast/id1651051841Spotify: Leave a rating and follow the show!

Teens are not broken. The systems around them are. In this conversation, social worker, researcher, and educator Dr. Will Dobud joins me to zoom out from individual teen "problems" and look at the bigger picture of youth mental health. We talk about what he calls "planet mental health," where there are more therapists, diagnoses, and medications than ever, yet kids are still struggling. Will walks us through how numbers and labels can start to define young people, why phones have become an easy scapegoat, and how school culture, academic pressure, and compliance-driven systems shape so much of what we call "behavior." We also explore what gets lost when we treat kids as empty vessels or passive recipients of interventions instead of as resources. Will shares stories from his work with teens across three continents, digs into why social-emotional learning can backfire when it is done to kids instead of with them, and lifts up older ideas from John Dewey and Jane Addams about democracy, shared work, and treating young people as full participants in their communities. This episode is a grounded, hopeful invitation to see teens differently and to start changing the environments they are growing up in. Key Takeaways Trying to "fix" teen behavior in isolation does not make sense. Behavior always exists within systems adults have built, including school, home, and the wider culture. We are living on "planet mental health," where more people than ever are diagnosed, medicated, and in treatment, yet many teens do not feel better. What we choose to count and label shapes how young people see themselves. Phones and social media are often symptoms, not root causes. Boredom, disconnection, and rigid environments drive kids to screens just like adults reaching for phones on a plane. School was designed as a compliance-based institution for a narrow group of learners. For many teens, it feels more like a factory than a place that values curiosity, autonomy, or real-life problem solving. The youngest kids in a classroom are statistically more likely to be diagnosed with attention-related conditions, suggesting that developmental stage and fit matter as much as any "disorder." Social-emotional learning can become a "regrettable substitution" when it is standardized and delivered to kids who never asked for it. Teens need co-regulation and relationship, not just lessons about feelings. Teachers and parents are also trapped in compliance systems and high-pressure cultures. When adults are dysregulated and overburdened, they cannot provide the steady co-regulation kids need. Teens are never just a cluster of symptoms. Traits that feel "annoying" in adolescence often become strengths later when they are understood and supported. The healthiest classrooms, families, and communities function more like real democracies. Young people get meaningful work to do, not just things to memorize. Shifting how we talk about "kids these days" changes everything. When adults treat teens as resources instead of problems, kids feel more hopeful, engaged, and willing to participate in their own growth.

After taking a week off to tend to personal matters, Lauren returns to the series on leading under pressure with a focus on navigating conflict without escalation. She reframes conflict as a nervous system event rather than simply a communication issue, explaining how stress activates threat responses around control, safety, and belonging. When leaders become dysregulated, they lose access to clarity and often default to avoidance, control, or appeasement.She also explores what it looks like to stay grounded in tense moments through steady tone, clear boundaries, defined next steps, and meaningful repair when needed. Conflict is inevitable, but escalation is not when leaders choose regulation over urgency.Sign up for the University of Pennsylvania Behavior Breakthrough Accredited CourseLearn about the Staff Sustainability System a proven system to reduce burnout at the rootResources: The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel A. van der Kolk, M.D.Other related resources from Five Ives: Blog Post: Why Traditional Employee Wellness Programs Fail (And What Works Instead)Survive Mode: Recognizing When Your Organization is in CrisisWhat are the Five Ives?Podcast:A Fresh Look at the Five Ives Framework in the WorkplaceClarity as a Safety CueWhen Leaders Become the StressorEpisode 2: Authority Without FearEpisode 1: What Stress Does to Decision MakingThe Pause Between Now and NextLeading From a Regulated CoreWhen Culture DysregulatesGrowth & Feedback Without FearOnboarding as Co-RegulationPolicy as a Nervous SystemThe Regulated Organization: What it Means to be a Regulated OrganizationOur Online Programs: Behavior BreakthroughPolicing Under PressureBoard Governance TrainingUniversity of Pennsylvania Behavior Breakthrough Accredited CourseSubscribe to our mailing list and find out more about Stress, Trauma, Behavior and the Brain!Check out our Facebook Group – Five Ives!Five Ives WebsiteThe Behavior Hub blogIf you're looking for support as you grow your organization's capacity for caring for staff and the community, we would love to be part of that journey. Schedule a free discovery call and let us be your guideAs an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Meltdowns and mood swings aren't random—they're signals from a stressed nervous system. This episode reveals 5 hidden ways your child's meltdowns and mood swings connect to mental health struggles, often long before a diagnosis. Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, creator of Regulation First Parenting™, brings decades of expertise in childhood emotional dysregulation to guide parents with clarity and hope.Parenting a child with intense reactions can feel exhausting and isolating. You're not alone. Many parents see frequent meltdowns, sudden mood swings, or resistance to change and worry, “Am I missing something?” These behaviors aren't just “bad days”—they're signals your child's brain is struggling to regulate.In this episode, I share five predictive nervous system signals I've identified over decades of working with thousands of children. You'll learn how to recognize early warning signs of mental health challenges, support regulation, and change your child's trajectory—long before labels or diagnoses appear.Why does my child have frequent meltdowns after small frustrations?Low frustration tolerance is one of the clearest early indicators of mental health concerns and challenges in a child's mental health. Children who overreact to minor setbacks often struggle to pause, reflect, and problem solve under stress.Key takeaways:Explosive reactions aren't misbehavior—they indicate a dysregulated nervous system.Recovery matters: kids who struggle to calm down are at risk for anxiety, impulsivity, and emotional volatility.Parent example: A 7-year-old melts down every time homework is hard. After co-regulation exercises and consistent scaffolding, these outbursts gradually lessen.How do restrictive eating habits signal mental health struggles?Children who resist textures, smells, or new foods may have a nervous system stuck in stress mode, experiencing the world as unsafe. This can affect a child's sleep patterns, emotional regulation, and even academic performance.Tips for parents:Observe patterns in eating—they can reflect underlying distress, not just picky behavior.Work with occupational therapists for sensory support.Ensure nutritional balance to support emotional health and overall well being.

The Department of Justice has brazenly disregarded the clear mandates of the Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA), particularly the disclosure requirements and statutory deadlines laid out in Section 3. The law required the DOJ to release defined categories of records, provide detailed explanations for every redaction, and identify all government officials and politically exposed persons named in the materials. Instead of complying in full, the department released a narrow, heavily redacted collection of documents while withholding a vast volume of responsive records. The unredacted disclosure deadline came and went without meaningful compliance. What was produced lacked the comprehensive index and specificity the statute demanded. Millions of pages reportedly remain unreleased, despite Congress mandating transparency. The Section 3 report failed to deliver the granularity required by law, particularly in identifying who was named and on what basis redactions were made. Broad exemptions were invoked without the level of explanation the Act contemplated. Rather than submitting to the spirit and letter of the law, the DOJ controlled the scope of disclosure on its own terms. The result is selective transparency under a statute that was written to prevent exactly that outcome.The EFTA was designed to remove executive discretion from this equation and impose a binding transparency framework in a case defined by secrecy and institutional failure. By withholding large categories of material and failing to meet statutory deadlines, the DOJ has treated a congressional mandate as optional guidance. The department has cited privacy, investigative integrity, and classification concerns, but the Act anticipated those issues and required structured justification for each redaction. Instead, the response has been partial compliance coupled with procedural delay. When a federal agency declines to meet a legislated transparency deadline in a case involving powerful figures and systemic misconduct, it deepens public distrust. The failure to provide a full accounting of withheld records leaves Congress and the public unable to assess the completeness of the release. Courts traditionally defer to executive agencies on classification and disclosure decisions, limiting immediate judicial remedies. That places enforcement squarely back in the hands of Congress, which must decide whether to escalate through oversight powers. At its core, this is no longer just a records dispute; it is a constitutional test of whether statutory transparency mandates carry real enforcement power. The DOJ's approach has transformed the EFTA from a promised reckoning into a prolonged institutional standoff.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Send a textHow the body's internal circadian clocks regulate metabolism, energy balance, and health.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Master circadian clock in the brain: Light detection via retina entrains the suprachiasmatic nucleus, which coordinates body-wide rhythms; intrinsic period slightly deviates from 24 hours, allowing seasonal flexibility.Peripheral clocks in organs: Nearly all cells have autonomous clocks; liver and fat clocks rapidly adjust to feeding time, while brain clock aligns more tightly to light.Clock mutations and metabolism: Disrupting core clock genes (e.g., CLOCK, BMAL1) causes obesity, liver fat accumulation, and impaired insulin secretion without hyperinsulinemia.Timing of food intake: Eating the same high-fat calories during rest phase causes more weight gain than during active phase due to differences in energy dissipation.Modern disruptions (jet lag, shift work, blue light): Create desynchrony between brain and peripheral clocks, contributing to metabolic issues; late-night eating impairs glucose handling.Critical illness & feeding: Tube feeding at night (opposite natural cycle) induces rapid insulin resistance, highlighting mismatch costs.Hormone rhythms: Testosterone, glucocorticoids, and others peak at specific times; misalignment affects stress, reproduction, and metabolism.Weight loss drugs & maintenance: GLP-1 drugs reduce intake effectively, but regain involves neuroendocrine adaptations tied to brain clock pathways.ABOUT THE GUEST: Joseph Bass, MD, PhD is Chief of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Molecular Medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Director of the Center for Diabetes and Metabolism, and a leading researcher who pioneered the link between circadian clock genes and metabolic disorders including obesity and diabetes.RELATED EPISODE:M&M 237 | Circadian Biology: Genetics, Behavior, Metabolism, Light, Oxygen & Melatonin | Joseph TakahashiSupport the showHealth Products by M&M Partners: SporesMD: Premium mushrooms products (gourmet mushrooms, nootropics, research).
