The motorcycle rider in Bellingham WA who was taunting the cops to come catch him! SPOILER ALERT: They caught him!

“Why do you seek the living among the dead?” sounds like a chastisement. Until we remember that the only reason that ANYone knows that Jesus' tomb is empty is because a whole crew of faithful women showed up at the place of death, with the intention of attending to the dead. Indeed, it is only by returning again and again to the tombs of today's Empires that we can be gathered as resurrection communities who follow Jesus' call to “storm the gates of Hades” which shall never prevail against us. May we keep seeking (and finding!) the living (and life!) among the dead (and places of death!). May we do so until every gate to hell is crumbled and ALL are free.Sermon begins at minute marker 2:12Luke 24.1-12Resources:BibleWorm podcast: Episode 638 – Remember What He Told You, Amy Robertson and Robert Williamson, Jr.“Not the story we wanted: An Easter and arrest story,” an emailed letter from Chris Hoke, Underground Ministries, April 18, 2025.Learn more about La Resistencia - “No estan solos; You are not alone.”Learn more about Community of Hope Mennonite Church in Bellingham WA - with gratitude for Pastor Rachael Weasley's words, shared from a letter.Image: table turning at the Northwest Detention Center; Mennonite Action “God's Love Knows No Borders” sign visible, April 2025

In today's episode, we are joined by my naturopathic oncologist, Dr. Laura James. As you listen to our discussion, it's essential to acknowledge the whirlwind that accompanies a cancer diagnosis. For many, including myself, the speed at which treatment unfolds can be both a blessing and a challenge. The urgency of medical intervention, coupled with the support of excellent health insurance and the unique circumstances of the COVID-19 era, can lead to a swift entry into what is commonly referred to as the breast cancer industrial complex. But what exactly does this term mean? It's a new concept that encompasses medical advancements, institutional processes, and societal expectations surrounding cancer treatment. While grateful for the prompt attention and care received, there's an underlying need to address the implications of this fast-paced medical industry. For me, and perhaps for many others, navigating the breast cancer industrial complex has raised questions about agency, reflection, and informed decision-making. The speed at which decisions are made can sometimes overshadow the opportunity for thorough consideration, prayer, and seeking second opinions—elements crucial to holistic well-being. Together with Dr. James, we'll explore the importance of empowerment in the face of medical urgency, the role of advocacy in navigating treatment pathways, and the significance of holistic approaches to cancer care. ______ Air Dr. I've been using the Air Doctor air purifier for almost a year and absolutely love it! I first heard about it from Dr. Mark Hyman, and even though it was a bit of a splurge compared to what I usually spend, I'm so glad I invested. Every time I change the filter and see all the gunk it collects, I smile, knowing it's doing a great job keeping my air clean! And I'm so happy that all that gunk isn't going into my body ; Click here to purchase: https://airdoctorpro.com/?oid=17&affid=6165 ______ Just Add Buoy Companies contact me every week, asking me to try their products. Honestly, I get food and supplement samples almost weekly! Last week, a San Diego company called Just Add Buoy emailed me to ask if I wanted to try their electrolyte formula. I said yes because I've been looking for an electrolyte formula (without tons of sugar, both fake and real and no dyes) for years.   They sent me some samples, and I must tell you how much I love them. I'm trying the Hydration Drops, and they have 87 trace minerals, Ionic ocean electrolytes, and antioxidants. And, also important to me, NO SUGAR (FAKE OR REAL), NO ADDITIVES OR DYES. And it's non-GMO. I like that it's flavorless, and I can add it to a smoothie or even my morning coffee without noticing any flavor change.

Join me for a fascinating conversation around an exciting breakthrough in dementia detection that's offering real hope for early intervention. Dr. Hans Frykman, Chief Scientific Officer at Neurocode Laboratories, is here to share groundbreaking insights into cutting-edge biomarkers that can identify pathology associated with Alzheimer's disease before symptoms even appear. What's even more fascinating is how these same tools are revealing neuroinflammation caused by infections, including COVID, Lyme disease, and mold exposure—issues that are incredibly relevant in functional medicine today. The assays Dr. Frykman and his team have developed, and continue to research, are transforming the way we think about diagnosing and addressing neurodegeneration. We're talking about a potential game-changer that allows us to intervene earlier, reverse damage, and ultimately improve the trajectory of these conditions. This is an extraordinary time in science and medicine, and the work we're discussing today is at the forefront of it all. Don't miss out on how this could reshape your practice. ~DrKF Check out the show notes at https://tinyurl.com/2t55s3y3 for the full list of links and resources.

Feedback. It is all too common to use this word. But do many of us actively pursue it as if it is foundational to the success of our businesses? Chances are not really. And in so doing we lose out on connection, relevancy , and have a harder time delivering value that creates momentum with our coffee. All because when we talk about relationship coffee, we tend to leave out the consumer.  Today on this 32nd episode of Rate of Rise, brought to you by our friends at Mill City Roasters, we are sitting down with cofounder of Mirror Coffee Roasters in Bellingham Washington, Mark Kutrovski! Mark and his brother Seirgi both had a solid career in coffee before founding Mirror Coffee Roasters 5 years ago. Their brand has, from the beginning been focused on quality and guided by a consitent puruit of connecting with and getting feedback from their customers. Both consumers and wholesale customers.  In today's episode we explore the need for all roasters to pursue feedback in how they source, roast, and communicate value to their customers and why it is of particualr importance nright now!  Links: https://mirrorcoffeeroasters.com/ Instagram: @mirrorcoffeeroasters      Related episodes:  RoR #25 : Training Up the Next Generation of Roasters w/ Steve Lee of Pocket Knife Consulting + Linea Caffe ROR #23 : How to Close the Industry-Consumer Flavor Gap w/ Phil Beattie, Dillanos Coffee Roasters RoR #1: A Conversation w/ Anne Cooper of Equilibrium Master Roasters 433: Winning Staff and Customer Loyalty 340 : Encore Episode of “10 Reasons to Love the Customer”!     Our Sponsor for Rate of Rise! www.millcityroasters.com

This show is about YOU!! No guests, just callers. What have you been dreaming about? What are your hopes for this coming year? This the first All Caller show in three years, and we take calls from four people, and together look for treasures in their dreams. Charlene from the CA Bay Area started us off with a dream about stepping away from a man who put his arm around her waist. This ultimately reminded her of her childhood experiences of a ghost on the Connecticut farm where she grew up. The second caller was from Elizabeth from Bellingham WA who shares that her brother has recently died. She shares a dream where she worries if others will have time for her but feels great connection to the ground while walking in her delicate shoes. After the break, Jennifer from Santa Cruz starts a conversation about dreams about society like Carl Jung’s dreams foreshadowing World War II. We also talk about the upcoming October regional conference in Santa Cruz at the Museum of Art and History and the June international conference which will be all-online (find out more and register at IASDconferences.org/2025/).

Matt Daniels is a good friend of mine - we've known each other since 2016 - and a great, great athlete and mentor. He lives in Boulder, Colorado. I've met with Matt in four different countries this year, and we've shared a memorable battle at the Chuckanut 50k in Bellingham WA, in March, where I finished first and he finished second, pushing me all the way to the finish to set a new course record. After a really good first half of the year, Matt struggled to find the right feelings during training and the races he ran reflected his physical and mental condition. In this episode the main theme is the unique connection between the hardships we face in life and those we experience on the trails. We also talk about his training and preparation for Javelina 100m, why he's confident he can be successful at the 100m distance, how his track background has both helped and hindered his training as a trail runner, his experience with the Boulder Boys as athletes and content creators. _______________________ Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@vert.run⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on IG Download our app and sign up to our training plans on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠vert.run⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ You can send us a message with any questions for us or for our guests! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://anchor.fm/vertrun/message⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Francesco's links: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Strava⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Our guest has hosted hundreds of patients on ketamine-assisted psychedelic trips and has gone on a few of his own, yet his experience is that dreamwork can be even more profound. Dr. Darren Jakubec is an emergency-room anesthetist and runs a pain clinic in northern British Columbia. Jake talks about his history with dreaming and inner work and then gives an example of working a dream with a pain clinic patient. He describes his experience with a ketamine clinic which he ran for several years, describing psychedelics as an inner work accelerant which uses much of the same language as dreaming. After the break we take a dream share from Steve Popp, co-host of the “In the Garden” program which precedes the Dream Journal on Saturday mornings on KSQD. The dream features powerful spiritual themes which leads us into Jake giving his analogy about psychedelics vs dreaming which he summarizes as fire hose vs garden hose. We take a second dream from Elizabeth from Bellingham WA of a chaotic car trip with a problematic loved one. Books mentioned during the show: The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk, How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan, and various work by Gabor Mate. He also mentions the Curable app for dealing with chronic pain. BIO: Darren Jakubec, M.D., is trained in family medicine and in anesthesia and lives and practices in northern British Columbia. Darren has been a dreamworker for 12 years and practices dreamwork in his pain clinic, in his ketamine clinic, in the emergency room, and in the hallways and rooms of the hospital where he works.

I speak with Latin GRAMMY-nominated songwriter, producer, artist, activist, chef and friend Alex Wong about his lifelong evolution as an indie music maker and meaning seeker.Whether writing and performing his own award-winning songs or producing albums for such luminaries as Vienna Teng and Delta Rae, Alex has always pushed his work beyond conventional ideas of what it means to be an artist. I would  even say Alex is one of the most authentically integrated creatives I know. Everything he does is absolutely Alex Wong.To wit, in 2023 he launched The Permission Parties, a multi-sensory experience where each track from his upcoming album Permission is paired with a Chinese-inspired dish that shares a common emotion.I attended an earlier iteration of the Permission party series and can attest to both the delicious food and to Alex's ability to create syntheses of meaning by combining his personal past and his creative present.It's always interesting to me to learn why someone wants to write songs, especially songs in the genre loosely called Folk music but which to me means those written from a personal point of view (as opposed to songs expressly created for commercial appeal). We talk about what got Alex into folk and how the twists and turns of his multi-hyphenate career brought him to East Nashville.The last third of this episode features a challenging, maybe even difficult conversation in which Alex and I get into our different approaches to the cultural problems our time. Here is the backstory:In March of 2023 there was a mass shooting at the Covenant School in Nashville, where a trans person killed three children and three adults. You remember. Like everyone else, I was shocked and saddened by the murders and so a few days later I joined several thousand of my neighbors at a vigil downtown. I was disappointed in the ceremony, which to me was a lot less about honoring those poor kids and their families and more about using the opportunity to advance a political agenda. I thought it was tasteless and said so in a short piece posted on Instagram. Alex challenged me in a private exchange. That's the backstory. The Morse Code is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.I brought it up in the podcast. It was hard for me to talk about, and I think for Alex too, but it was respectful and ultimately productive and I hope it inspires more such discussions in the future. It was the most political conversation I've hosted on the Morse Code Podcast and it made me reflect me on my conscious decision to stay away from political topics, not only on the podcast, but in my work generally. I wonder if that choice is the right one.On one hand, it's basic to my personality, this desire to bring people together with my writing and music and to point at what we have in common, what you might call the universalities of being human: falling in love, out of love, being afraid to do something and then doing it anyway, getting old, the crazy mystery that is being alive, that stuff. I'm drawn to novels and songs and artists who are similarly concerned. I've always been that way, starting with my college days in Bellingham Washington with my bluegrass band The Barbed Wire Cutters when I would look out from the stage and see loggers and college kid protestor types sipping beers and dancing, enjoying themselves together. It felt like a momentary truce in a protracted war, and one that sowed hope that a future resolution was possible. Division is the inevitable byproduct of political discussion. Most people don't seem to mind that, and instead are happy to charge headlong into the us versus them framing of every issue under the sun, from gun control to abortion to free speech to trans issues to the opening ceremonies at the Olympics, with the result that we all very nearly hate each other.So I think, why add my timid voice to the screaming match? What good would it do?But there's another side to that argument, which is maybe best phrased by Plato. “If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools.”Its an injunction to participate in a field of battle anathema to my very being. I don't enjoy arguing and I am not one of those people who needs to be right. I just want to be left alone to do my own thing. But that is perhaps cowardly of me. In fact I spend a lot of my free time listening to different arguments on every controversial issue out there, trying to understand both sides of the argument as best I can so that my judgment might be as sound as possible. But I do so privately, for my own sake. Call it part of a lifelong effort to work out my own salvation in fear and trembling.But maybe that's a coward's quest. I think about that. I notice people who put themselves forward for a truth they believe in and I see how they are pilloried and ostracized and ridiculed. Who would want to do that with their one and only life? Answer: people who are called to do it and for whom not speaking up would be the greater sin.I think about what that would look like to join those actors and agitators, and the prospect is an unhappy one. But maybe I should think again. Maybe a nuanced voice is needed. Ugh. It makes me very uncomfortable to write that. Which is probably a clue.To bring it back to Alex and to this podcast, maybe there's a way forward to engage the issues of our time that would be genuinely productive. This conversation is an example of that possibility, and hope.Interspersed with this discussion Alex and I play two songs, one he wrote for his daughter and one he wrote for the Palestine people.

Today's episode is brought to you by VersaLifts. Best known for their heel lift shoe inserts, VersaLifts has been a leading innovator in bringing simple but highly effective rehab tools to the market. If you have clients with stiff ankles, Achilles tendinopathy, or basic skeletal structure limitations keeping them from squatting with proper form and good depth, a little heel lift can make a huge difference. VersaLifts heel lifts are available in three different sizes and all of them add an additional half inch of h drop to any training shoe, helping athletes squat deeper with better form.

I hope your day's off to a great start. Glad to have you here on the PT on ICE Daily Show. My name is Alan. I'm happy to be your host. Currently, I have the pleasure of serving as the Chief Operating Officer here at ICE and a lead faculty member in our Fitness Athlete Division. Leadership Thursdays, we talk all things practice management, small business ownership, and general leadership tips for all of you out there who are leaders in your own way. Leadership Thursday also means it is Gut Check Thursday. This week's Gut Check Thursday couldn't be more challenging but also simpler than getting out there and hitting a 5k run or if you can't run hit a 5k row. Great aerobic test. As I get more into endurance running, I would argue I've been learning to hate 5Ks the most if it's a really uncomfortable distance to settle into kind of a longer, slower pace of, you know, you're setting a good pace on the first mile. Dang, I'm almost a third of the way done. Second mile, third mile. can be quite an aggressive distance. It's the most commonly programmed CrossFit workout if that surprises you. I've posted some benchmark times as far as percentiles for both the 5k row and the 5k run to kind of compare yourself to where I stack up against the general population. So have fun with that one. It's good to test that at least once a year and see how your 5k has changed, especially if it's a goal for you to get your aerobic, your longer energy system a little bit more efficient, and specifically to get better at maybe 5k runs. Some courses coming your way. Before we talk about these courses coming up before the end of the year, I want to challenge you that if you are in the market for an ice course, and you're able to purchase a course before the end of this year, you should do that. Wink, wink, wink, right? There might be a change being announced soon that would make you regret not purchasing now. So you'll see that maybe an announcement coming soon. courses before the end of the year we're almost done we have some courses this weekend but that's probably too late for you we'll be off next weekend for Thanksgiving and then we have just three weekends left of live courses in 2023 December 1st through the 3rd that weekend you can catch Paul up in Bellingham Washington for dry needling upper body You can catch Zach down at his home base at Onward Tennessee for cervical management. Christina will be up in Halifax, Nova Scotia, A for Pelvic Live. Ellison will be down in Tampa, Florida for dry needling lower body. Cody will be on the road for extremity management out in California in the Bay Area in Newark, California. Brian Melrose will be in Helena, Montana for lumbar management. and Julie Brower will be on the road in Candler, North Carolina for Older Adult Live. That's right outside of Asheville. The weekend of December 9th and 10th, we have Fitness Athlete Live. That's your last chance to catch that course this year. That'll be with Mitch Babcock out in Colorado Springs, Colorado. You can catch Extremity on the road again, this time with Lindsey Huey in Fort Collins, Colorado. And Older Adult Live, your last chance this year will be in Portland, Maine with Alex Germano. And then our very last course of the year, of course, we expect nothing less than a person of Paul's caliber to be the last person working this year. He will be in Salt Lake City for dry needling his upper body. That'll be the weekend of December 15th, 16th and 17th. That's a three-day course. So if you're in a state that needs a lot of hours like Washington, or Maryland, that'll be a chance to catch a three-day version of that course. A course is coming your way from us here at ICE. YOUR TRIBE DICTATES YOUR VIBE Okay, let's talk about today's topic. Your tribe dictates your vibe. You've often maybe heard the other way around. Your vibe attracts your tribe. How you carry yourself, your personality, your values, kind of attract the people around you that are maybe in your friend group, your colleagues at work, that sort of thing. I want to talk about it from the other angle your tribe dictates your vibe, of the people you choose to follow, whether they're actual in-person people or specifically today's topic, of the people you follow on social media can really dictate not only how you feel about yourself, care yourself, but of what you might begin to spend your time and money on for the worse or for the better. So I really, really, really want to stress that social media, I think, is destroying our society for the worse. Certainly, it has value in things like this and sharing information and education. from one person to a large group of people. But I think overall, we can begin to follow people who appear really relevant to our lives. But actually, if we do a really deep dive, we understand they actually have very little in common with us. And then ultimately, at the end of the day, we're in charge of who we follow. Many of us are not on social media against our will. And so that the emails you subscribe to, the social media accounts you follow, all of this digital content that you consume can have positive or negative effects on you. And to really stress, if you take nothing else away from this episode, to be really diligent in the streams and feeds that you begin to curate as you begin to follow email newsletters, social media accounts, and the like. THE PITFALLS OF THE INTERNET: TALKING TOUGH & SOUNDING SMART The first point I want to make today is The pitfall of the internet, as it's always been since its inception of consumer-based communication, is that it's super easy to talk tough and sound smart on social media. We live in a very impatient, rapid-fire, fire-and-forget type of world now. You may not know, but certainly, if you work at all in customer service, you experience, that the average expected response time to an email or social media message is now 10 minutes or less by the average customer. That's a study from Forbes from this year in 2023. I could say a whole bunch of crazy stuff right now on this podcast. I could say it in a social media post and I would have almost no side effects come to me because our society now is so rapid-fire, so fast, so consumable that you would consume this. Maybe what I'd say you would resonate with, maybe it would make you upset. It doesn't matter because you will forget about it in three minutes when you scroll on to the next piece of content. on your social media feed or the next podcast episode that you queue up. The only regulation on what we say is from you all, from the consumers. What's noticeable on social media is that the people who tend to be the most aggressive and make the largest blanket statements are often those who do so without any sort of evidence or support. They're also not the people who tend to engage in the stuff that they create, right? They're very aggressive. They fire something out there. They know it might make you upset. You might actually make a comment. And that's kind of their goal, right? That drives their engagement up. That shows their post to more people. Maybe it further upsets people. It gets more comments. And what we need to realize is that cycle is kind of what fuels those people to have large follower bases, to be able to advertise different things to you. Hashtag, you know, ice barrel, try out your hashtag toe spacers, right? Those people are trying to strike a nerve on purpose to get more engagement, more followers, more followers, engagement equals I can make more money selling sponsored things to you. So we need to be aware of that trap that is out there for us on social media and be aware of the pitfall of the internet and social media itself of this very consumable temporary transient content and recognize if you're falling for that trap of if you are getting upset and making comment or if you're following people who make kind of outlandish, unsupported statements. If that makes you upset, again, the whole theme of this episode is why are you following accounts like that. YOU HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON WITH THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE YOU FOLLOW The second point I want to make of why are you following accounts like that is that you have nothing in common with the majority of people that you follow and obtain content from. You're making less money than you want to. You're working more hours than you want to. You're not feeling as physically well or as fit as you want to. You're not happy with how your body looks. Maybe you're not happy with how your marriage is going how you're raising your kids how your sex life is going, and how your postpartum recovery is going. You name it, you're being told that whatever is wrong with you, X is Y with you. Y is the solution, right? You are not having a good life because you don't wake up at 4 a.m. and do a 6-hour morning routine. You're not having a good life because you don't wake up and do a gratitude journal, use toe spacers, do yoga, meditate, do a cold plunge, or a sauna, or any of these other things that you're told are the difference between this apparently very successful person and you. But often when you do your research, when you look behind who are these social media influencers, you're often being sold solutions by people that are usually millionaires and who are usually millionaires, not because of the stuff they're telling you that they do, but because they're convincing people like you to buy the stuff that they're selling. And that's how either they are making their money or they're maintaining the level of income that they already have, right? Or maybe they started out in life and mom and dad footed the bill for college and for grad school and for their first house and they don't have a lot of debt and so they have a lot of extra time, they don't need to work as much to become this social media influencer and begin to sell you supplements and Toast Facers and all this kind of stuff. And the more you listen to those folks about what's wrong with you is that you're not consuming this stuff, the more money they actually make and the bigger that asymmetry actually comes. What's not said is that a lot of those folks have made their money by living what they're doing right now, which is a very imbalanced life of working more than you want to in order to try to pull yourself up the socioeconomic ladder. You're told that you're burned out or whatever and really the cause of their success is doing what you're doing right now and eventually getting to the point where their success comes to a level where they no longer need to work as much and maybe now they have more time to show you a video of them working out on the beach in Bali. And by the way, use my promo code Stephen10 for 10% off, whatever. And again, the more you consume that, the richer that person becomes. But at the end of the day, you do not have a lot in common with that person, yet you are trying to model your life after them, even though that's not how they currently live their life. And maybe that's not how they ever lived your life. These people are happy, healthy, and fit because they don't have to go to work anymore. Or maybe they never had to go to work. They can wake up and do their morning routine and go surfing because they're able to afford a full-time nanny to take care of their kids. Or maybe they don't even have kids and they get 12 hours of sleep because they have a night nurse. Or again, maybe they don't even have kids. And you get my point that they are living a very different life than you and maybe they never lived the life that you did. So it doesn't make sense for you to spend a lot of your time consuming their content and buying the stuff they're selling to somehow try to fix your life. Follow people who represent you, who represent your values, who are honest about where they made their money or how they got to the level they are at. I tend to follow people who are very upfront about how they got where they're at by pulling themselves up from being very, very, very, very poor, working a ton, and pulling themselves up the socioeconomic ladder. Is that ideal? No, but sometimes that is life, as true as it can be. And I resonate a lot more with those people who say like, look like this was the way that worked for me. It may not work for you. And I appreciate those people who are honest that look, it was a lot of years of 100-hour work weeks, working multiple jobs to pay off my debt to afford a house, to raise kids, and kind of get to where I'm at now. And I really, really appreciate that transparency, especially more as life goes on. So, what can we do about this of recognizing that Social media is meant to be fire and forget, instantaneous, consumable? It's meant to sell you things. It's meant to show people who maybe have nothing in common with you that you want to see yourself become only if you buy these products. If that's the way it's designed, what is the solution? CUT THE CORD The solution is to cut that cord, right? Take a serious examination of the accounts you're following, of the newsletters you subscribe to, of in general the content you consume digitally via social media, email, whatever, and stop following stuff from people who make it seem like the only reason you're not obtaining the fulfillment you want is that you aren't buying enough of the stuff that they're selling. Stop following accounts that tend to speak on best practices, but speak so dogmatically. Manual therapy sucks, it has no value. On the other side of the continuum, manual therapy cures diabetes, right? Stop following that stuff if you don't actually believe that stuff. Some of us follow that stuff just to watch the comments and watch people argue, or maybe you're even that person, spending your time that could be spent better elsewhere, arguing with people on the internet. I'll be very honest, I used to be that person. If you knew me a decade ago, I was that person. I was that person yelling at people on Twitter. and Instagram and all the other social media platforms, and I've talked about this before, one of the biggest shifts in my life was meeting Jeff Moore, our CEO, who one day sent me a screenshot of all these comments I was making, all this time I was spending on the internet, on social media, and just said, is this the best use of your time to advance the field of physical therapy? And of course, if you really ask yourself that question, then the answer truly is no. So stop following that stuff. Stop following those accounts. Stop following people who tell you that the way you're treating patients is wrong. If they are people who maybe don't currently treat patients or have not treated patients in a long time, five years, 10 years, 20 years, or maybe people who have never treated a patient ever, right, that person who went from PT school, maybe right to a Ph.D., or a consulting job, or to work for an insurance company as an adjuster, and has no actual real-world experience. Why are you following content like that? Knock that off. Follow people who are in the clinic every day, who are trying to make it all happen, who are trying to blend manual therapy, patient expectations and beliefs, and fitness-forward lifestyle, getting people loaded, getting people addressing their sleep and diet. Follow people who put out content like that, not content that maybe just makes you upset at the end of the day. Follow accounts that make your life easier. Follow accounts that give you resources that you can provide your patients so you don't have to work as much making that stuff yourself, right? Follow, obviously, I'm biased. I can't not have any bias here. Follow us, right? Go to PTonICE.com, click the resources tab, and look at literally an endless list of ebooks, workshops, of patient resources already created for you to make your job in the clinic easier so that hopefully you don't have to spend as much time making the money that you're currently doing. You don't have to work as hard doing it. Follow people in a manner that sees you working less and making more and not just buying more gadgets and $10,000 mentorship programs. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU And I think finally, what I want you to resonate from today's episode is to recognize deep down that there's nothing wrong with you. If you work more than you want to and get paid less than you think you should, you are not damaged. You are a normal American, right? 77% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Half of all Americans work two or more jobs. It is totally common to work more than you want to, to try to get ahead. Again, some of us are trying to pull ourselves up a huge deficit, right? We're trying to close a large asymmetry. We're trying to go from the poor person who grew up in a trailer park to maybe the first person in your family to finish middle school or high school or undergrad and grad school and be the first person to own your own home and be the first person to maybe have a retirement account and actually be able to think about retiring. We're trying to pull ourselves up multiple rungs. And I think for most of us, we believe that working a bunch is not how we get there. And I think when, again, we follow people who are more transparent in how they have their success. You'll find that's how they also got there, right? They didn't toe space and cold plunge their way from the trailer park to owning their own home starting a family paying off their debt and being comfortable in retirement. So recognize that there's nothing wrong with you. CHALLENGE YOURSELF TO CURATE BETTER CONTENT Okay, challenge you. If you look at my social media account, if you look at my Instagram, you'll see I have tens of thousands of followers. I don't know who most of those people are or why they follow me. Yet, look at that ratio. When you look at the ratio of people who follow to followers, it is my belief that you should only follow people that you want to see content from. What you'll see when you look at my account is that I only follow a couple hundred people, right? I follow close friends and family members. and people that I want to see content from. Again, my goal with social media is to curate a feed that makes my life easier with different tips and tricks about physical therapy, coaching, leadership, business, about all the different spheres I'm involved in. That's how I curate my social media feed. I don't follow people back who follow me if I don't think they post any content, that's certainly possible, or content directly relevant to me. And I think it's okay if you have to unfollow those people. Some people may think that means they follow you. Well, hopefully, they follow me because they find value in what I post and I think it's okay to not reciprocate if you don't feel the same way. I'm sure the people who follow me that I don't follow are nice upstanding people who treat their spouses and their children well hold the door for people to pay their taxes on time and leave a nice tip at the restaurant for the waitstaff, right? Not saying there's anything wrong with them. It's just I don't believe that the content they create is beneficial to me, and otherwise, it just becomes an endless blob of noise that maybe as you start to follow and compare yourselves to, you start to feel bad about yourself. So take a step back. Why am I following these people? Is it beneficial to me? It's okay to unfollow people, I promise you. I'm giving you permission, I'm giving you the blessing to do so. Cut that cord, recognize that you don't have as much in common with most of the people that you follow, as you think you do, and recognize that a lot of those people are relying on showing you this grandiose awesome life in order to sell you stuff so that they can continue to live that awesome life of working out on the beach in the Caribbean and living in their mansion in Costa Rica and using dye-free detergent and eating organ meat and all the stuff you're told is the reason that you're not doing as well as you need to. Consider, that your tribe dictates your vibe. Who you follow can really make your day or ruin your day. It can make you feel bad about yourself. You could get caught comparing yourself. So just knock it off. Cut that cord. Hope you have a fantastic Thursday. Have fun with Gut Check Thursday. We're going to be at a live course this weekend. Enjoy yourselves. I'll be back here on Thanksgiving Day. So I'll see you all on Thanksgiving Day. If you won't be joining us, I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Have a great Thursday. Have a great weekend.

It was a fun day running in the mountains working on nutrition, pacing, meme ideas, etc. while putting in a big day on our feet in prep for ÖTILLÖ.ShoutoutThis week we're shouting out to dryrobe for sponsoring the show last month. It was a blast to get to check out their new dryrobe Lite and we encourage everyone to check it out. We'll be rocking ours at Casco Bay later this Summer in case anyone wants to see these awesome pieces of kit up close.Wisdom Nugget of the WeekIf you can't imagine it, you can't have it. – Toni MorrisonFeats of EnduranceWe haven't done this segment in a few weeks so we're giving out two awards this week. First up is Sacha Bergerhausen for posting a Swimrun workout in the town of Frickenhausen, Germany.

All you have to do is send us a DM or email with an audio clip of your funniest/weirded Swimrun experience for a chance to get it shared on that forthcoming episode. We're already planning for Ödyssey Swimrun Casco Bay and wanted everyone to pencil in some dates and times on their calendars. First, on Saturday, July 7th at 10:00am, we will be co-hosting a shakeout Swimrun with Ark Sports, dryrobe, Wild Swimrun, and Team Envol at East End Beach. Also on July 7th at noon, we will be hosting our second annual LTBz Patreon luncheon before we all head over for packet pickup. Finally, on July 8th, we will be hosting our Third Annual Post-Race Party at a location TBD but likely the same place as last year.  Stay tuned for facebook event invites in the next few weeks.Dr. Yael SchonbrunIt was so great to talk with Yael. She's a wealth of knowledge on all things relationships and it was cool to get her take on what makes for great Swimrun partnerships. We talked about all kinds of stuff in this conversation and it's safe to say that teams and solo Swimrunners alike will take away a lot from her wisdom.We encourage everyone to sign up for her newsletter, Relational: The Art and Science of Connections here.Enjoy!~~~That's it for this week's show. If you are enjoying the Löw Tide Böyz, be sure to subscribe to the show on your favorite podcast player and leave us a five-star rating and review since that's the best way for people to discover the show and the sport of Swimrun.

I have something a little special today, this is the entire Friends In Recovery Roundup that was held in Durbin South Africa about a month ago (April 28-29 2023), this was an in-person and zoom event. The roundup is presented here in the same order as it was there, featuring eleven speakers from all over the world. I have to admit a bit of bias here, Dante L, the chairperson of the group that hosted the event reached out to me months before it happened and told me the story of the group and I was routing for their success. Bias aside they did a great job and I really think youll enjoy it, rather than break it up I am uploading it as one podcast. I also want to give a big "well done" to the folks that did the sound recording, impressive. Lastly, Dante kindly provided the description of the event below. The theme for the Rally was "A Daily Reprieve" and our slogan was "FIRRR Real" (Friends in recovery Roundup Rally). This was the first in person event for FIR and all the speakers are home group members of FIR, we came together to celebrate our 3rd year of existence. The Group was born on zoom during Covid and a lot of the speakers got sober in FIR and on zoom.  Speakers spoke on ESH. What comes through in some of the shares is the support one receives from your homegroup and how FIR got some of the speakers started on their Recovery journey. We included Al-Anon speakers also. AA Speakers (listed by sobriety date not in the order you'll hear them) Nina N - Johannesburg SA, Sir David - Austria and Dhiren H - Durban SA (6 to 12 months sober) Charis B - Illinois USA, Charnette H - Cape Town SA and Vuyo I - Johannesburg SA (1 to 3 years sober) Lady Gwyneth - George SA, Tina B - Rhode Island USA, Thami M - Johannesburg SA (15 years to 40 years) Al-Anon Speakers - Nirvasha S - Durban SA and Eddy H - Cape Town SA ----- I just added a couple of items to the event list.
