Behavioral addiction doesn't just suddenly show up in our lives; it gradually creeps in without even registering on our radar. This week, Kylen Perry leads us through Psalm 141's wisdom of pursuing self-control over indulgence even when it feels so out of our reach.

In this episode of the Addict IIAthlete podcast, Coach Blu Robinson speaks with Sathiya Sam about the complexities of pornography addiction, its impact on individuals and relationships, and the importance of open conversations about sexuality. Sathiya shares his personal journey of overcoming a 15-year addiction and discusses the significance of community support, self-awareness, and shifting one's identity in the recovery process. The conversation also touches on the emotional and relational ramifications of addiction, the role of faith, and practical steps for recognizing and addressing problematic behaviors. Take Aways  Sathiya Sam shares his personal journey of overcoming pornography addiction. The average age of first exposure to pornography is between eight and twelve years old. Open conversations about sex and intimacy are crucial for healthy development. Pornography addiction is often linked to intimacy issues rather than sexual gratification. Betrayal trauma can significantly impact relationships when one partner struggles with addiction. Behavioral addictions operate differently than substance addictions, requiring unique approaches to recovery. Recognizing signs of addiction includes changes in viewing patterns and social commitments. Emotional withdrawal can be a significant indicator of dependency on pornography. The relationship bank account concept emphasizes the importance of honesty and integrity in relationships. Finding purpose beyond addiction can aid in recovery and personal growth.

The Yurok people are a fishing people. Since time immemorial, the Klamath River provided for the Yurok, with salmon, eels, eulachon, and other food. Colonization fundamentally upset the balance that existed. The Yurok faced genocide, and those that survived were confined to a small portion of their territory. The Klamath, once a mighty salmon stronghold, was choked by fish-killing dams. But the Yurok persisted. In her new book, The Water Remembers: My Indigenous Family's Fight to Save a River and a Way of Life, Amy Bowers Cordalis details the long struggle by her family and people to resist, restore and renew tribal sovereignty and the Klamath River. Come see Amy and get a copy of her new book signed at CalPoly Humboldt on Thursday, November 13th from 4:30-7:30pm at the Behavioral & Social Sciences building, room 162, as part of their Decolonizing Sustainability Speaker Series.Support the show

We often imagine that our actions are the result of choice and awareness, which means that we can be extra critical of ourselves when we're struggling with habits that aren't serving us. But researchers in the science of habit and craving have found that much of our decision-making process is the result of unconscious neuro-chemical loops that reinforce themselves over time.  In this meditation, author and researcher Judson Brewer introduces a thoughtful way to bring genuine awareness and choice back into the equation when cravings arise.  Judson Brewer, MD, Ph.D. ("Dr. Jud") is a New York Times best-selling author and thought leader in the field of habit change and the "science of self-mastery," who blends over 20 years of experience with mindfulness training and a career in scientific research. He is passionate about understanding how our brains work, and how to use that knowledge to help people make deep, permanent change in their lives — with the goal of reducing suffering in the world at large. Dr. Jud is the director of research and innovation at Brown University's Mindfulness Center, where he also serves as a professor in Behavioral and Social Sciences at the School of Public Health and Psychiatry at the School of Medicine at Brown University.  The transcription of this guided meditation will be online at Mindful.org next week.  Stay curious, stay inspired.

In this Halloween-week episode of The Liquidity Event, AJ and Shane gamble their way through Atlantic City stories, poker scandals, and billionaire luck. AJ checks in from self-imposed exile at the Jersey Shore to finish her book (and avoid the casinos), while Shane shares his thoughts on gambling's strange evolution from high stakes to digital dopamine. The duo dives into Governor JB Pritzker's million-dollar Vegas win, a sprawling FBI gambling case that reads like Ocean's Eleven, and the Louvre jewel heist that has everyone rooting for "Flappy." They debate whether Bitcoin counts as investing or just fancy gambling, share their favorite open enrollment hacks, and field a listener question about when it's okay to stop sweating the $6 latte. They wrap up with a surprisingly heartfelt segment on digital estate planning—passwords, personal finance apps, and the love letter your will should be.

When it comes to CPP timing, the math often says "wait until 70" - but life isn't lived in a spreadsheet. In this episode, Joe Curry explores why taking your Canada Pension Plan early—sometimes even at 60—can be a smart, meaningful choice for your lifestyle, legacy, and peace of mind. Key Takeaways from this Podcast CPP timing isn't just about math — it's about meaning. The "optimal" financial choice may not be the one that helps you live your best retirement. Taking CPP early can increase flexibility. Early benefits can fund experiences, family gifts, or charitable giving when you're healthiest and most active. Zero-earning years can reduce your benefit. If you retire before 65 but delay CPP, those years may count against you in the CPP calculation. Not everyone needs longevity insurance. If you have pensions, rental income, or sufficient savings, delaying CPP might not be worth the trade-off. Behavioral comfort matters. If you're hesitant to draw from investments, that monthly CPP cheque might help you enjoy your retirement more freely.

"The excitement that the kids feel when they are seeing you... and they know today's session with Ms. Luba and they can't wait to see you." - Luba Kaplan When a child enters the medical system, parents often meet many specialists beyond doctors and nurses, including Speech-Language Pathologists (SLP). These professionals are vital members of the healthcare team, doing more than just helping with speech. SLPs, as Luba Kaplan explains, also explains how they look at every area of the child's development to ensure children are being fully supported. In this episode, we introduce Luba Kaplan, a passionate SLP, Oral Myofunction Therapist, and mother of three who is the visionary behind Kidology. Celebrating 10 years in private practice, Luba has made it her mission to bridge gaps in access to therapy. She even created the Therapy Bus—a half-size school bus that travels to families who can't leave home or have transportation issues. About Our Guest: Luba Kaplan, SLP Luba Kaplan is a Speech-Language Pathologist and Oral Myofunction Therapist. As the founder and owner of Kidology, she has built a practice that offers a multidisciplinary, team approach to therapy, including Speech, Occupational, Physical, and Behavioral services. Luba is driven by a deep passion for helping families achieve change and is dedicated to cancer research in honor of her mother, Angela, who worked in oncology research for 25 years. Luba on Social Media: TikTok, Instagram, Facebook: @KidologyInc (KIDOLOGYINC) YouTube Channel: Find Kidology's content on YouTube Key SLP Insights for Medical Parents Luba shares crucial advice for working effectively with a Speech-Language Pathologist: Build Strong Rapport: Share everything that is going on in your child's life, even seemingly small struggles like a supermarket meltdown. The more the provider knows, the more they can help. Look for a Global Approach: Seek a provider who utilizes a multidisciplinary, team approach and is willing to screen for or refer to other needed services (OT, PT, behavioral services). Early Intervention is Key: Don't wait or assume your child will simply "grow out of it.". Addressing issues sooner, not later, can put your child ahead. Ensure Family Alignment: Everyone in the child's life (parents, grandparents, etc.) must be on the same page with the therapy goals to ensure the proper foundation for progress. Otherwise, therapy won't work. Trust the Independent Session: While parental presence is key in a hospital setting, giving your child space to learn independently in a non-threatening environment allows them to develop their own voice and thrive with the therapist. Stay Committed: Stick with the therapy program even when you think your child is "okay". Commitment is essential for your child to be better off post-program. Episode Timeline Highlights 00:00: Introduction to the role of a Speech-Language Pathologist. 01:00: Introducing Luba Kaplan, the visionary behind Kidology and the innovative Therapy Bus. 02:30: Luba's passion for change and her personal connection to cancer research. 06:00: Tips for parents on finding an impactful provider and the necessity of sharing full history. 09:30: Navigating the system and the need for a team approach in therapy. 11:00: Strategies for carryover at home: portals, homework, and getting the whole family on the same page. 15:45: The difference between presence in an acute trauma setting (hospital) vs. a non-threatening environment (therapy clinic). 19:30: The growth of Kidology: from one suburban office to two central clinics with play gyms. 22:00: Final takeaways: the importance of commitment and not delaying intervention.

Procurement's toughest problems rarely come from spreadsheets or contracts. They come from people. In this episode of "Buy: The Way…To Purposeful Procurement," David Loseby – professor, former CPO, and self-described "pracademic" – joins Philip Ideson and Rich Ham to explore why procurement's incentive systems often fail not because they're wrong on paper, but because they ignore how people actually think and act. Unfortunately, he says, most systems are designed for tidy models, not messy human behavior. Drawing on behavioral science and front-line experience, David introduces the idea of "behavioral architecture," a practical approach to shaping decisions by understanding how different audiences think, decide, and act. Finance wants the spreadsheet. Marketing wants the story. The CEO wants 30 seconds and a decision. A single, one-size-fits-all KPI (which we know is usually "savings") can't carry that load, and when it tries, it often drives the wrong behaviors. Instead, David makes the case for incentives that create shared ownership of outcomes across functions. He walks through a concrete example of shifting an energy "re-tender" into an enterprise-wide consumption program that improved P&L results through local engagement, gamification, and rapid payback actions – all proof that when the metric matches the mission, the business moves. He then applies the same logic to sustainability, customer experience, and resilience, showing how to frame the same initiative in different "languages" across the business without diluting the goal. David also offers actionable guidance: build balanced scorecards that include the business's priorities (not only procurement's), tie a portion of bonuses to stakeholder metrics, and tailor communications so each audience sees their value in the work. It's a call to action for procurement that may be uncomfortable, but it's exactly what they need to hear: if you want purposeful outcomes, you have to design for human behavior, not inhuman systems and processes.

In this week's episode, we are diving into all things hyenas! Yep, we're that excited. And to take us on this deep dive we have asked hyena expert and behavioral ecologist Dr. Kay Holekamp to educate us all about this amazing animal and talk to us about the 30 + years of research and data her team has been collecting. Dr. Holekamp is head of the Department of Integrative Biology and is director of the Ecology, Evolutionary Biology and Behavior Program at Michigan State University.Dr. Holekamp is recognized as one of the world's leading behavioral ecologists focusing specifically on the study of the evolution of intelligence, animal behavior, and behavioral neuroendocrinology. Dr. Holekamp also leads the Mara Hyena Project based in Kenya where she and her team have been collecting data covering 10 generations of hyenas. All the while dispelling false narratives of these amazing animals and replacing them with a deep understanding of the true lives of Hyenas. We are dedicating this episode to Jane Goodall, and to power houses, like Dr. Holekamp. Deep bow to the women in science and research who have inspired us and who are working tirelessly in conservation in support of our Kindred species.Lots of Love. Time Stamps:Introduction: 00:15Interview: 6:23TA: 48:31Show Notes:https://www.holekamplab.org/https://eeb.msu.edu/news/notes-from-holekamp-lab-in-kenya-meet-the-south-clan.aspxhttps://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/spotted-hyenas-queens

Christian Chan, chief investment officer, at AssetMark, says that markets should remain favorable for as long as economic conditions stay modestly positive, but he notes that the artificial-intelligence boom is helping to ensure that's the outcome, putting a floor under how much damage can be suffered in any financial storms. Chan says he expects those storms to stop short of a recession and he's not as sure as some observers that the market itself is in a bubble; he expects the Federal Reserve to cut rates, but notes that they won't go too low for too long, which should help the economy move forward without hurting the fixed-income markets. Behavioral finance expert Terrance Odean, a professor at the Haas School of Business at the University of California-Berkeley, discusses what investors do wrong when they are staring down bubbly conditions and how they ought to behave when markets are frothy and the experts are concerned about what the end of a rally will look like. Kathryn Berkenpas, managing director of corporate growth for the CFP Board of Standards discusses the biggest financial regrets from Generation X, whose oldest members are turning 60 this year. A CFP Board of Standards survey of Gen-Xers, showed that nearly half felt they made financial moves that have ultimately cost them at least $100,000 in what they could have saved simply by pursuing better money behaviors.

What makes people trust you faster, remember your message longer, and say “yes” more often? Behavioral science has the answers. In this episode, AJ and Johnny sit down with behavioral science expert and author Richard Shotton to break down the psychological tactics behind persuasion, trust, and influence that anyone—not just brands—can use. From the power of concrete language to the pratfall effect, messenger bias, social proof, and scarcity hacks, Richard explains why these timeless psychological triggers work just as well in networking and sales as they do in billion-dollar marketing campaigns.

In this episode of Excess Returns, Larry Swedroe returns to discuss the biggest risks and opportunities facing investors today. From tariffs and immigration to AI and private credit, Larry shares evidence-based insights on how to think about markets without relying on forecasts. He explains why diversification is essential, how investors can “sin a little” with duration and valuation, and why only 4% of stocks drive the equity risk premium. The conversation blends timeless investing wisdom with today's most important macro themes.Main topics covered:Why forecasts don't work and what investors should do insteadThe real economic risks of tariffs and immigration restrictionsHow AI may (or may not) impact productivity and market winnersHow to build anti-fragile portfolios around macro risksWhen and how to “sin a little” on bond duration and valuationLessons from past tech booms and investor overconfidenceThe 4% of stocks that drive all long-term equity returnsThe risks of concentration in the S&P 500Hidden costs of passive investing and large index fundsWhen index and factor funds get too big to trade efficientlyValue investing, interest rates, and inflation relationshipsThe evidence on simple value strategies like Piotroski and Magic FormulaHow to think about growth exposure using quality and low volatilityThe opportunities and dangers of private credit and interval fundsWhy illiquidity premiums exist and how to capture them prudentlyBehavioral discipline, diversification, and long-term compounding lessonsTimestamps:00:00 Forecasting failures and market humility03:30 Why Larry doesn't make macro predictions07:00 The real impact of tariffs and immigration on inflation and growth11:00 AI, productivity, and the question of who the real winners will be14:40 How to manage duration risk and “sin a little”18:00 Investor overconfidence and lessons from past tech booms21:00 Why only 4% of stocks explain all equity returns24:00 Market concentration and S&P 500 risk28:30 Why diversification still matters30:00 The hidden trading costs of index and factor funds38:00 How big fund size changes execution and exposure41:00 Is passive investing too big?42:30 Value vs growth and interest rate relationships45:00 Evidence on simple value strategies and Buffett's alpha51:00 Factor diversification and one-over-N strategy54:00 Private credit: opportunity and risks58:00 Illiquidity premiums and fund structure concerns01:00:00 Behavioral discipline, patience, and staying diversified

Welcome back to Ditch the Labcoat. This week, Dr. Mark Bonta sits down with Dr. Filippo Ongaro. He is a physician, bestselling author, and former flight surgeon at the European Space Agency who joins Dr. Bonta in the studio to explore a topic that's redefining how we think about aging: the pursuit of healthspan over lifespan.In a world obsessed with biohacking, supplements, and quick fixes, Dr. Ongaro brings the conversation back to fundamentals; how to age strong, not just long. Drawing from his years working with astronauts exposed to the accelerated aging effects of space travel, he reveals how lessons from outer space can transform how we live here on Earth.Together, Dr. Bonta and Dr. Ongaro unpack what it really means to live well into our later decades; why preserving muscle is the key to longevity, how sleep acts as free medicine, and why fitness, nutrition, and environment are the true “anti-aging” tools. They challenge the hype around lifespan extension and focus instead on the daily, unsexy habits: movement, connection, consistency - that have the biggest impact on well-being.Dr. Ongaro also shares how his work has evolved to emphasize coaching, where he works to help people bridge the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it. From setting up your home to promote healthy choices, to rethinking gratification, he offers practical, science-informed ways to turn small behavioral changes into lifelong transformation.If you've ever wondered whether living to 100 is the goal; or if living well to 80 might be the better and more realistic one, this episode will reshape your understanding of aging, motivation, and what it truly means to thrive over time.Let's ditch the lab coat and get real about living longer AND stronger.Check out Dr. Filippo Ongaro, MD Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@DrFilippoOngaroEpisode Timestamps02:00 Exploring Biohacking and Longevity03:08 The Importance of Healthspan vs. Lifespan06:11 Principles of a Good Healthspan09:06 Habit Change and Behavioral Science11:49 Creating a Supportive Environment for Health15:08 Lessons from Astronauts and Aging20:00 Motivating Change in Health Behaviors30:05 The Future of Longevity and HealthspanEpisode TakeawaysBiohacking is about more than just extending lifespan; it's about enhancing healthspan and quality of life.Fitness plays a crucial role in maintaining a high quality of life and can significantly impact healthspan.Habit change is essential for long-term health benefits, and coaching can be a powerful tool in facilitating this change.The lessons learned from astronauts about muscle preservation and stress management can be applied to everyday life.Simple lifestyle changes, like improving sleep quality and home ergonomics, can have a profound impact on health.The focus should be on applying existing knowledge about healthspan rather than seeking new, unproven methods.Behavioral change is key to improving health outcomes and should be integrated into medical practices.The concept of healthspan should become a common part of medical conversations to drive meaningful change.Practical interventions, like having a home gym, can be accessible and effective for many people.The future of longevity lies in making healthspan a universal focus, not just for biohackers or early adopters.DISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

Originally uploaded September 19, reloaded October 4th. Wednesday, September 17th, MBN was on the road to Detroit for CAR - the Center for Automotive Research's 60th annual Management Briefing Seminars. The event moved from The Grand Traverse Resort & Spa to Michigan Central the refurbished railroad hub in the city. This interview was with Jay Johnson, Chief Executive Officer, Behavioral Elements, Livonia, MI. » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/ Overview of CAR MBS & 2025 Edition: The Center for Automotive Research (CAR) returns with its flagship Management Briefing Seminars (MBS) 2025, scheduled for September 15–17 in Detroit, hosted in the iconic Michigan Central Station. This relocation signals a bold renewal, marrying automotive heritage with forward-looking mobility innovation. The MBS platform is built to convene leaders across original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), suppliers, mobility services, government, and infrastructure, enabling connection at the nexus of policy, technology, and business strategy. CAR's 2025 tagline—“a new era, a new home”—underscores the intent to redefine expectation. MBS is positioning itself not merely as an industry conference, but as a decision-making engine: the place where executives, strategists, and policymakers gather to debate the future of mobility under one roof. Content will explore major disruptions in the sector: electrification, autonomous systems, infrastructure, regulatory reform, and sustainable business models. Panel sessions and keynotes will examine how shifting global competition, supply chain sovereignty, and policy uncertainty challenge legacy businesses — and empower new entrants. The agenda promises curated sessions across themes: policy and regulation, technology foresight, industry transformation, and strategic planning. CAR will deliver resources through the Whova app and partner portals — slides, video, and supplemental materials — ensuring attendees can revisit content long after the event. Selecting Detroit and Michigan Central Station is deeply symbolic. It reflects a belief in returning to the roots of American mobility while leaning into reinvention. The venue choice embodies the tension the industry faces: honoring legacy while disrupting its own foundations. For businesses and stakeholders, MBS 2025 offers several tangible value propositions: Policy Intelligence: gain insights into regulatory trends, infrastructure planning, and legislative shifts critical to mobility investments. Strategic Exposure: thought leadership, scenario planning, and competitive benchmarking beyond daily operations. Network Leverage: depth of access — from OEM C-suite to technology firms to government actors — opening doors for partnerships, investment, and collaboration. Content Longevity: recorded keynotes, slides, and materials will endure, making MBS a reference resource, not just a live event. Ecosystem Alignment: bringing together fragmented actors in mobility to foster alignment around standards, strategy, and shared goals. Challenges remain. The agenda is still in flux, meaning attendees must remain adaptable. Logistics of Detroit, legacy industry expectations, and maintaining inclusion for smaller firms will require careful curation and execution by CAR. In short, MBS 2025 aims to be more than a conference — it wants to be a turning point in mobility strategy. By marrying Detroit's symbolism with future-forward content, CAR seeks to reset how the auto/ mobility ecosystem convenes, defines direction, and collectively moves forward in an era of rapid transformation.

Here is the AI generated discussion of my post:  Behavioral Steering, Influence Or Manipulation?  It's another fantastic discussion, they really get to the core issues and vividly explain the subtle differences in behavioral steering.  Enjoy!

Quantitative, contrarian, and nuanced: these are the hallmarks of the Freakonomics approach. Hear journalist and podcaster Stephen Dubner speak with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about the 20th anniversary of the popular-economics book Dubner co-authored with Steven Levitt. They discuss how the book came to be, how the journey changed Dubner's life, and how it changed his thinking about various economics issues. The conversation includes a lengthy discussion on the role of private equity in the American economy, and Roberts's claim that Dubner and co-author Steven Levitt's treatment of incentives overlooks the role of competition and markets.

What happens when control becomes a way of life — and then suddenly, it's gone? When the gavel fell in Donna Adelson's sentencing, the courtroom witnessed more than a verdict. It witnessed the collapse of a family built on manipulation, image, and moral blindness. Former FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski, and Stacy Cole to dissect the deeper psychology behind every glance, every denial, every word spoken by Donna and Harvey Adelson. From Donna's muttering defiance to Harvey's calm but seething contempt, this wasn't just a sentencing — it was a behavioral autopsy of power. Robin unpacks the neuroscience of control loss, the pathology of narcissistic rigidity, and the generational indoctrination that kept this family locked in shared delusion. This episode goes beyond the courtroom to expose how denial becomes survival, how love becomes leverage, and how intelligence without empathy turns into rot. #DonnaAdelson #HarveyAdelson #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #FBI #BehavioralAnalysis #Narcissism #FamilyDynamics Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

 When the judge read out Donna Adelson's sentence, the courtroom expected silence — accountability, maybe even remorse. Instead, it became a masterclass in denial. Eye-rolls, muttered words, an almost theatrical refusal to accept reality. To the untrained eye, it looked like arrogance. But as former FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke explains, it was something deeper: the collapse of control. In this powerful breakdown, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Robin dissect the psychological mechanics behind Donna's unraveling — from her desperate body language to the language of moral blindness. Why do some people fight reality even as it's closing in around them? What happens inside the mind of a narcissistic manipulator when the truth can no longer be managed or spun? This episode doesn't just revisit the sentencing — it rewrites how we understand it. From “controlled rage” to “loss of narrative dominance,” Robin walks us through the science of what we all witnessed: the moment the façade finally broke. #DonnaAdelson #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #DanMarkel #BehavioralAnalysis #TrueCrime #FBI #Psychology #Narcissism #CourtroomDrama Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Even after years of recordings, evidence, and convictions — the Adelsons still say it's all a lie.  Why? Because when your identity is built on control, truth becomes negotiable.  In this episode, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and behavioral expert Robin Dreeke examine how cognitive dissonance, self-justification, and moral compartmentalization allowed the Adelsons to maintain their innocence narrative long after it collapsed. Donna's defiance, Harvey's “controlled rage,” and their total lack of empathy aren't just arrogance — they're survival mechanisms for people whose reality depends on never being wrong. Robin breaks down how deception fatigue, emotional rigidity, and “narrative dominance” turn ordinary denial into a pathology — one that consumes entire families. This isn't just a breakdown of a courtroom moment. It's a masterclass in how smart people convince themselves of the impossible. #AdelsonTrial #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #FBI #TrueCrime #Psychology #Denial #CognitiveDissonance #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Today we sit down with Dr. Anita Archer to unpack how clear, compassionate behavior systems transform a room from reactive to ready. The big shift isn't about control; it's about removing guesswork so students know what to do and teachers can teach.To begin, Dr. Archer dives into why behavior management is important. From there, she breaks down how to mapping key activities into simple, teachable expectations. You'll hear routines in action, the power of specific praise, and the art of pre-correction so success is more likely before the first direction is given. If you're feeling overwhelmed tackling behavior management in your own classroom, Dr. Archer talks through a reset plan: pick a date, relaunch core routines, use “Looks Like / Sounds Like” charts, and keep expectations visible for a few days while habits take root. We wrap up with some memorable "Archerisms:" avoid the void for they will fill it; predictability predicts ability; if you expect it, pre-correct it; and teach with passion, manage with compassion. When expectations are explicit, feedback is specific, and routines are predictable, students feel safe, respected, and ready to learn. If you're aiming for fewer disruptions, stronger focus, and great instruction, listen to this episode today.IES Practice Guides: ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/practiceguidesRead the blog: CurriculumAssociates.com/blogFollow us on Twitter: @CurriculumAssocFollow us on Instagram: @MyiReadyHave feedback, questions, or want to be a guest?

 When the judge read out Donna Adelson's sentence, the courtroom expected silence — accountability, maybe even remorse. Instead, it became a masterclass in denial. Eye-rolls, muttered words, an almost theatrical refusal to accept reality. To the untrained eye, it looked like arrogance. But as former FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke explains, it was something deeper: the collapse of control. In this powerful breakdown, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Robin dissect the psychological mechanics behind Donna's unraveling — from her desperate body language to the language of moral blindness. Why do some people fight reality even as it's closing in around them? What happens inside the mind of a narcissistic manipulator when the truth can no longer be managed or spun? This episode doesn't just revisit the sentencing — it rewrites how we understand it. From “controlled rage” to “loss of narrative dominance,” Robin walks us through the science of what we all witnessed: the moment the façade finally broke. #DonnaAdelson #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #DanMarkel #BehavioralAnalysis #TrueCrime #FBI #Psychology #Narcissism #CourtroomDrama Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What happens when control becomes a way of life — and then suddenly, it's gone? When the gavel fell in Donna Adelson's sentencing, the courtroom witnessed more than a verdict. It witnessed the collapse of a family built on manipulation, image, and moral blindness. Former FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski, and Stacy Cole to dissect the deeper psychology behind every glance, every denial, every word spoken by Donna and Harvey Adelson. From Donna's muttering defiance to Harvey's calm but seething contempt, this wasn't just a sentencing — it was a behavioral autopsy of power. Robin unpacks the neuroscience of control loss, the pathology of narcissistic rigidity, and the generational indoctrination that kept this family locked in shared delusion. This episode goes beyond the courtroom to expose how denial becomes survival, how love becomes leverage, and how intelligence without empathy turns into rot. #DonnaAdelson #HarveyAdelson #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #FBI #BehavioralAnalysis #Narcissism #FamilyDynamics Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this AMA episode of the Rational Reminder Podcast, Ben Felix and Dan Bortolotti return to answer listener questions across a wide range of topics—from covered call ETFs and dividend tax credits to currency hedging, bond mechanics, leverage, and career reflections. They open with a striking quote from Harvard economist John Campbell on how markets cater to perceived benefits rather than real ones—a perfect setup for their recent discussions on the rise of covered call ETFs.   Key Points From This Episode: (0:59) John Campbell's quote on capitalism's tendency to meet perceived rather than rational needs—and how that perfectly describes the financial industry. (3:44) Covered calls as the perfect example: products that respond to investor demand for yield, not what's actually in their best interest. (4:49) Dan compares income-chasing in covered call ETFs to Apple's marketing genius—except in finance, the benefits flow mostly to issuers, not investors. (5:48) Why dividend bias was relatively harmless, but the covered call craze is not—and how new ETFs “multiply like rabbits.” (7:46) Ben's analysis: in every example studied, covered call investors ended up with less wealth than those holding the underlying equities. (8:13) The hidden trade-off: holding covered call ETFs is like keeping 25–30% of your portfolio in cash for a decade. (9:33) Lighter interlude: Dan teases Ben about his lentil (and later cabbage) lunches. (9:59) First AMA question: Are domestic dividend tax credits already priced into stock valuations? (Short answer: partially, depending on investor composition.) (12:13) Why even if tax benefits are “priced in,” Canadians with favorable tax rates still come out ahead. (15:58) Hedging currencies in commodity economies like Canada and Australia—when it helps, when it hurts, and why there's no perfect answer. (18:48) Dan explains why unhedged portfolios can actually be less volatile for Canadians and why most hedging is imprecise and costly in practice. (20:03) Behavioral perspective: splitting the difference between hedged and unhedged can be the “strategy of least regret.” (21:06) Bonds demystified—why falling prices during rising rates affect funds and individual bonds equally. (22:22) Understanding duration: bond ETFs are designed to stay at a target maturity, while individual bonds age toward zero duration. (26:03) How rising yields actually improve financial plans by boosting future expected returns. (29:08) Choosing the right bond fund duration based on your time horizon and liabilities. (33:39) Are recent bond losses an anomaly? Ben and Dan explain how decades of falling rates created unrealistic expectations. (36:21) The role of unexpected rate changes in bond volatility—and why central banks don't control long-term yields. (38:01) Market-cap weighting: why it remains the most defensible way to allocate across countries and sectors. (41:48) What's changed their thinking after six years of Rational Reminder—from Scott Cederberg's asset allocation data to the behavioral power of homeownership. (45:13) The Horizons/Global X ETF debate: how swap-based, corporate-class structures create tax efficiency—and why that efficiency could vanish. (50:42) Why PWL avoids these products: potential hidden tax liabilities and lack of transparency for clients. (54:31) Borrowing to invest: Ben outlines why leverage works in theory—but Dan explains why most investors shouldn't touch it. (57:25) New “modest leverage” ETFs (125% exposure) as a more behavioral-friendly version of borrowing to invest. (1:00:36) Fulfillment and frustration in finance: helping people achieve peace of mind vs. seeing deception still rampant in the industry. (1:03:09) Five years of Vanguard's all-in-one ETFs (like VEQT): how they've delivered exactly what they promised and reshaped DIY investing in Canada. (1:07:47) Why these “one-ticket” portfolios remain the biggest innovation in Canadian investing—and why global diversification matters more than ever. (1:08:50) Revisiting bonds in retirement: what to expect when they don't offset stock volatility, and how to rethink risk management beyond yield-chasing.   Links From Today's Episode: Meet with PWL Capital: https://calendly.com/d/3vm-t2j-h3p Rational Reminder on iTunes — https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-rational-reminder-podcast/id1426530582.

This week, I sit down with two incredible guests to unpack one of the most talked-about (and misunderstood) press conferences in recent months. I'm joined by Dr. Tanya Altmann, pediatrician and founder of Calabasas Pediatrics Wellness Center, and Dr. Anshu Batra, developmental-behavioral pediatrician and autism specialist, to separate fact from fear when it comes to Tylenol, leucovorin, and autism. We talk about what the latest research actually shows, what parents should know, and why conversations about autism deserve more nuance and empathy than political headlines. We discuss: What current research tells us about autism's causes, including the strong role of genetics and the complex mix of environmental and developmental factors. Why studies on Tylenol and autism don't prove causation, and how correlation has been misunderstood in headlines and online discussions. How leucovorin (folinic acid) may support some children with autism, why it's not a cure, and what doctors are actually seeing in practice. The connection between micronutrients, gut health, and neurodevelopment, plus real barriers families face in getting lab work and supplements covered. What early screen exposure can do to developing brains, and why less screen time and more real-world interaction matter for young children. Where research and funding need to go next, from identifying subtypes of autism to improving access to early intervention and therapeutic schools.

Self-compassion is a powerful, learnable skill in eating disorder recovery. In this conversation with registered social worker, grain farmer, and mom of five, Carrie Pollard, MSW, we explore how compassion lowers shame, supports motivation, and helps people replace harmful coping with kinder, sustainable care. We talk about trauma-informed treatment, somatic awareness, DBT skills, and what self-compassion looks like in real sessions and real life. What You'll Learn What self-compassion really is: noticing suffering and responding to it with care, based on the Mindful Self-Compassion model by Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer. Why “the why” matters: exploring roots like trauma and chronic stress helps people understand why symptoms once protected them and how to meet those needs differently. Behavioral tools and deeper work together: how CBT, FBT, and skills work can sit alongside bottom-up, body-based approaches and insight-oriented therapy. Backdraft in self-compassion: why big feelings can surge when kindness finally lands, and how to ride emotional waves safely. Somatic cues and capacity: using body signals, boundaries, and micro-pauses to prevent overload, especially for high-achieving, people-pleasing clients. Rural and farmer mental health: unique barriers to care, higher anxiety and depression in farm communities, and why accessible, virtual support matters. Key Takeaways Self-compassion reduces shame and increases motivation, which supports behavior change in anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, ARFID, and long-term recovery. You can ask two steady questions throughout healing: What am I feeling? and What am I needing? Emotional waves peak and pass. Skills from DBT and mindful self-compassion help you surf them without self-criticism. Recovery grows when systems of care address trauma, body image, diet culture, and access barriers faced by rural, disabled, neurodivergent, and larger-bodied people. Guest Carrie Pollard, MSW is a registered social worker in Ontario, Canada, @compassionate_counsellor. She brings two decades of clinical experience, deep community ties in agriculture, and a trauma-informed lens to eating disorder treatment. She co-founded a national farmer mental health initiative and participates in the Waterloo-Wellington Eating Disorder Coalition.

Notable Moments Naming self-compassion backdraft so clients can expect it and feel less afraid. Using hand-over-heart and paced breathing when words are hard. Reframing symptoms as once-useful survival strategies, then building new supports. Embracing imperfection in therapy and life to align with authenticity and values. Who This Episode Supports People in eating disorder recovery who feel stuck in shame or fear that kindness will make them “stop trying.” Clinicians seeking to integrate mindful self-compassion, somatic work, and DBT with behavioral protocols. Rural and farming families who need accessible, culturally aware care options. Neurodivergent folks and anyone navigating sensory overload, perfectionism, or people-pleasing.

Kids spend more time online than ever, and for the most part it feels normal. They're gaming, watching videos, and chatting with friends. But hidden in those same spaces are adults who know how to pose as kids, build trust, and push conversations into dangerous territory. Parents might think it couldn't happen to their child, yet detectives see how quickly an “innocent” interaction can turn into grooming or extortion. That's the world Detective Seth Cockerham works in every day. He's been in law enforcement in Texas for close to a decade, and the last few years have been dedicated to investigating crimes against children. He talks about these cases with both the eye of an investigator and the heart of a parent, because he knows what it's like to raise kids in a world where technology isn't going away. Seth explains how predators move kids off kid-friendly apps into spaces parents can't easily monitor, what behaviors should make families pay attention, and why kids often keep things to themselves. He also shares what has worked in his own home like parental control tools, early conversations about boundaries, and making sure his daughters know they can come to him about anything. At the end of the day, his message is simple: if your child says something feels wrong, take it seriously. Show Notes: [01:07] Seth explains his path into law enforcement and how he moved into child crime investigations. [02:24] Why drowning and neglect cases motivated him to take a deeper role in protecting kids. [04:05] The personal impact of working child abuse cases and balancing it as a parent. [05:30] How predators go where kids are online, from YouTube to gaming platforms with chat features. [07:00] Grooming tactics predators use, often pretending to be the same age to build trust.

For many decision scientists, their starting point—drawn from economics—is a quantitative formula called Rational Choice Theory, allowing people to calculate and choose the best options. The problem is that this framework assumes an overly simplistic picture of the world, in which different types of values can be quantified and compared, leading to the “most rational” choice. Behavioral economics acknowledges that irrationality is common but still accepts the underlying belief from economics of what a rational decision should look like.   Drawing from economics, psychology, and philosophy—and both inspired by and challenging Daniel Kahneman's Thinking, Fast and Slow—Barry Schwartz shows how the focus on rationality, narrowly understood, fails to fully describe how we think about our decisions, much less help us make better ones. Barry Schwartz is professor emeritus of psychology at Swarthmore College and visiting professor at Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley. His research and writing focus on the intersection of psychology and economics, particularly with regard to decision-making, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and the nature of human values. His books include The Paradox of Choice, Why We Work, and (as coauthor) Practical Wisdom. His new book, co-authored with the philosopher Richard Schuldenfrei, is Choose Wisely: Rationality, Ethics, and the Art of Decision-Making.

Behavioral health was left out of the digital revolution in healthcare; now a $20 million federal initiative is changing that story. In this episode, Talisha Searcy, Senior Advisor within the Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy, and Kacie Kelly, Chief Innovation Officer at the Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute, discuss the Behavioral Health Information Technology Initiative. Talisha explained that BHIT is a $20 million partnership between ASTP and SAMHSA focused on standardizing behavioral health data, advancing EHR adoption, and improving integration with physical health. Kacie highlighted that behavioral health was left out of the HITECH Act, creating long-standing gaps in infrastructure, funding, and data standards that BHIT now aims to address. Talisha emphasized the importance of interoperability and the USCDI+ for behavioral health, with pilots testing real-world data exchange and toolkits to help providers adopt these standards. Both emphasized the importance of collaboration across federal agencies to ensure alignment, as well as opportunities for innovators and the private sector to engage in shaping policies, particularly in areas such as interoperability and AI. Locally, Talisha noted how technology like telehealth is already improving access and care coordination in communities, despite workforce shortages. Tune in to hear from national leaders on how BHIT is setting new standards, driving innovation, and opening doors for providers and innovators in the behavioral health field!
