The Book of Enoch (Chapters 6-11): The Sin of The Watchers And The Birth of Giants by Shawn Ozbun
When my insurance premiums jumped 300% even though I almost never use insurance, I hit my limit. I'm healthy, I take care of myself, and I couldn't justify paying more and more for a system that feels designed to work against the person funding it. So I went looking for alternatives, found CrowdHealth, joined as a member, and invited the founder on the show to unpack how this model actually works.In this episode of the Wealthy Wellthy podcast, I sit down with Andy Schoonover, CEO and founder of CrowdHealth, to talk about what's broken in traditional health insurance and why it keeps getting more expensive. Andy shares the personal moment that pushed him to build CrowdHealth: paying for a procedure for his daughter, doing everything “right” in-network, then getting hit with an $8,000 bill and a denial for being “medically unnecessary.” That experience led him to build a community-based alternative where members fund each other's medical bills and pay providers directly, without insurance middlemen driving prices up.We get into the practical details: how CrowdHealth handles big events, how cash-pay negotiation works, what preventative care looks like inside the model, and who it's a fit for (and who it's not). If you're an entrepreneur, self-employed, or just done with the insurance racket, this is a real-world conversation about reclaiming control, lowering costs, and putting healthcare back between you and your doctor.What We Talked About:Why traditional health insurance is incentivized for prices to rise (and why denials happen in-year).Andy's origin story: the “medically unnecessary” denial that became the spark for CrowdHealth.How CrowdHealth works: pay providers directly, negotiate bills down, and submit eligible costs to the community.The $500 “skin in the game” approach for health events, designed to avoid catastrophic deductibles.Preventative care and quarterly “specials” (including labs and tests) plus the annual wellness visit support.Prescriptions and how CrowdHealth can help negotiate high-cost meds.The care advocate model: one person assigned to you, vs. call-center chaos.⏱ Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Health Insurance Challenges05:17 The Birth of CrowdHealth10:29 Understanding the Flaws in Traditional Insurance12:35 Addressing Concerns About Crowdfunding Healthcare16:26 Negotiating Costs and Community Support19:56 Reclaiming Healthcare: The CrowdHealth Model21:41 Navigating the Healthcare Landscape: Functional Medicine and Cash Pay26:31 Preventative Care: Investing in Health Before Illness30:45 Understanding Wellness Visits and Community Support31:56 The Future of CrowdHealth: Disintermediating Healthcare34:37 Empowering Patients: Who CrowdHealth is For and Not For

Des révolutions sanglantes? 536, c'est en fait un beau mélange de tout ça. Un cocktail particulièrement fort de catastrophes et d'instabilité.

Melissa Cain experienced a sudden and profound spiritual awakening in 2016 that completely shifted her understanding of consciousness, intuition, and human purpose. With no roadmap and no community to turn to, she had to learn how to integrate expanded awareness into everyday life—while navigating parenting, work, and reality itself.Her journey revealed how intuition, emotional intelligence, and inner knowing can transform how we raise children and how we understand ourselves. Seeing that many people were awakening with no safe or grounded space to explore their experiences, Melissa created Contact Modalities XPO, a non-dogmatic community dedicated to authentic exploration of consciousness, extrasensory perception, and expanded states of awareness.Melissa now supports others through their awakenings, offering validation, insight, and an open space that honors personal truth without imposing beliefs.Before the Awakening – “What was life like pre-2016? What was your version of ‘normal' back then?”The Moment Everything Shifted – “Walk us through the spontaneous awakening—what were the first signs something fundamental had changed?”Intuition Activation – “How did your inner guidance evolve? Did abilities increase? Did perception change?”Purpose & Identity – “How did this awakening reshape your understanding of meaning, direction, and why you're here?”Conscious Parenting – “How did this impact the way you raise your children? What changed in your approach?”Children & Intuition – “What have you observed about kids when intuition is supported instead of shut down?”Community Awakening – “When did you realize others were experiencing similar shifts but didn't have safe spaces?”Birth of Contact Modalities XPO – “What inspired you to create a non-dogmatic container for spiritual experiences?”Holding Space – “How do you help others without projecting beliefs, controlling outcomes, or steering their awakening?”The Future of Consciousness – “Where do you see this collective awakening heading?”
In this episode, Morgan sits down with biohacker, author, and new mum Aggie to talk about women's health, fertility, and the art of “bio slacking.” Aggie shares how she went from a rigid 5am routine to a more balanced approach to wellness, why eating your carbs last can change your hormones, how women should train and work according to their monthly cycle, and practical tips for prepping your body for pregnancy.

Pregnancy is one of the only times in life where we're asked to think in weeks instead of months, and for many people, it's confusing, frustrating, and sometimes anxiety-provoking. In this episode, we break down how pregnancy is actually counted, why clinicians use weeks and days instead of months, and how to make sense of phrases like "halfway there," "almost seven months," or "full term." We also explain where these conventions came from, what they're used for medically, and how patients can translate them into something that feels more intuitive and human. If you've ever wondered: Why pregnancy is 40 weeks but "nine months" Why doctors talk in weeks and days What "halfway" really means Or why your app, your provider, and your friends all seem to be using different math This episode is for you. At Maternal Resources, we believe understanding your body and your pregnancy shouldn't feel like decoding a foreign language. Clear information is a form of care. What You'll Learn in This Episode How pregnancy is dated and why it starts before conception Why weeks (not months) matter for medical decision-making How months map onto weeks and where the confusion comes from What people mean when they say "halfway through pregnancy" How due dates are estimates, not expiration dates How to think about pregnancy in a way that's both medically accurate and emotionally grounded Pregnancy Counting, Explained Weeks and days are the medical language of pregnancy. Clinicians count pregnancy from the first day of the last menstrual period, not from conception. That's because ovulation and implantation vary, but menstrual cycles give us a consistent starting point. Using weeks allows for precision when it comes to growth, development, testing windows, and clinical decision-making. Months are less precise and that's where confusion begins. Calendar months don't divide evenly into pregnancy. Some months have four weeks, some have more. That's why "nine months pregnant" can mean different things depending on how you're counting. So what about being "halfway"? Halfway through pregnancy is around 20 weeks, not five months. This is often when people have anatomy scans and start to feel more connected to the pregnancy, which adds to the emotional weight of that milestone. Due dates are estimates, not deadlines. Only a small percentage of babies are born on their exact due date. Pregnancy is a range, not a single day, and understanding that can help reduce unnecessary stress.

The conversation dives into the challenges they faced, including a major setback that led them to buy back their company. Jodi emphasizes the importance of communication, proactive support, and mentoring in maintaining a healthy family business environment. The episode concludes with Jodi offering advice for other family-run businesses and recommending Green Go products, notably the versatile first aid ointment and skin repair cream. · 00:54 Jodi Scott's Journey into Family Business · 02:28 Early Life and Influences · 07:31 The Birth of Green Go · 12:52 Sisterly Bond and Business Dynamics · 19:32 From Farmer's Market to Full-Fledged Business · 22:27 Challenges and Seeking Guidance · 24:42 Establishing Trust and Roles in Family Business · 27:34 Implementing Family Employment Policies · 29:05 Expanding to Retail and Online Markets · 30:07 Navigating Military Market and Retail Challenges · 34:09 Facing and Overcoming Business Crises · 39:16 Rebuilding and Future Plans · 42:57 Advice for Family Businesses Websites: · fambizforum.com. · www.chrisyonker.com · Greengoo.com · Instagram: @greengoohelps Jodi's Bio: Jodi Scott is the Founder of Green Goo and CEO of Spry Life, a family-owned portfolio of plant-based wellness brands. She co-founded Green Goo with her mother and sister in a small farmhouse kitchen, hand-crafting herbal salves that grew into a nationally distributed plant-based first aid brand carried in over 120,000 stores. With a background in biology, pre-med studies, and a Master's in Health Psychology, Jodi bridges traditional herbal medicine with modern science, focusing on clean healing, nervous system resilience, and reducing everyday endocrine disruptors. Her work emphasizes how small, thoughtful inputs compound over time, in health, leadership, and family systems. Jodi has lived every role inside a family business: product formulator, order packer, marketer, executive, and daughter. After selling Green Goo and later navigating a complex buyback to reclaim the company, she brings rare firsthand insight into continuity, conflict, trust, and alignment across generations. Today, Jodi works alongside her family running operations from their Colorado farm while mentoring other founders on building values-driven businesses that prioritize people, purpose, and long-term resilience. Her work sits at the intersection of wellness, entrepreneurship, and conscious family leadership.
Dr. Martin Shaw on February 4, 2026 at the Lumen Christi Institute. In his newly published _Liturgies of the Wild_, acclaimed mythographer and storyteller Martin Shaw argues that we live in a myth-impoverished age and that such poverty has left us vulnerable to stories that may not wish us well. Drawing on the “ancient technologies” of myths and initiatory rites, Shaw provides a road to wholeness, maturity and connection. In this event for UChicago students, Dr. Shaw explores both the theory and practice of mythmaking. In the first section Shaw guides us through myth's relationship to initiation rites and oral storytelling, explaining these “ancient technologies.” In the second we tilt directly into the telling of an Irish fairy tale, The Birth of Ossian. Drawing on his experience as a professor and widely respected storyteller, Shaw locates us in the deeper dimensions of how a modern person approaches an ancient story.
Fertility is something many couples struggle with quietly. Stress. Long work hours. Financial pressure. Environmental toxins. Birth rates are dropping worldwide, and more couples are facing "unexplained infertility." In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Marina, OB-GYN, to talk about what's really happening — and what couples can actually control. We cover: Why global fertility rates are falling The real impact of stress on conception The connection between sleep and fertility How diet affects both egg and sperm health The overlooked role of endocrine-disrupting chemicals Why infertility is a couple's issue — not just a women's issue IVF realities and success rates Functional medicine vs. conventional medicine approaches Practical ways to reduce toxin exposure Simple habits that can improve fertility outcomes Dr. Marina shares real examples from her 35 years in practice — including how small changes made a major difference for patients struggling to conceive. We also discuss: The Environmental Working Group (EWG) resources Heart rate variability and stress reduction tools Why sperm counts have declined over 50% in two decades How lifestyle habits compound over time This is not just about pregnancy. It's about health, long-term wellness, and the future of society. If you or someone you love is thinking about starting a family—or struggling to grow one—this episode offers clarity and practical insight.

Ransomware as a service has turned cybercrime into a franchise business — and in this episode, Dr. Mike Saylor and I break down exactly how it works, who's buying, and why the buyer might end up as the patsy.If you thought ransomware was just a lone hacker writing code in a basement, this episode is going to change how you think about it. Ransomware as a service means that today, literally anyone — no technical skills required — can pay someone to launch a ransomware attack on their behalf. You hand over the money, tell them what you want, and sit back and watch your crypto wallet. That's it. No portal. No dashboard. No login. Just a chat on the dark web through the TOR network and a prayer that they actually do what you paid for.Dr. Mike Saylor walks us through the full criminal ecosystem — from the initial access brokers who collect and sell validated email addresses, to the botnet operators who rent out millions of compromised computers by the hour, to the affiliate programs that tie it all together. We cover the franchise model, the "no honor among thieves" reality of these transactions, and why the person who buys into ransomware as a service might just end up as law enforcement's fall guy.This is one of those episodes where the more you learn, the more you realize how much the threat picture has changed — and why your backups are more important than ever.Chapters:00:00:00 - Episode Intro00:01:17 - Introductions & Welcome00:03:25 - Setting the Stage: CryptoLocker and the Birth of a Criminal Industry00:07:17 - Defining Ransomware as a Service: The Franchise Model00:10:36 - The Amazon/AWS Analogy and How Botnets Power the Attacks00:17:10 - No Portal, No Dashboard: How Dark Web Transactions Actually Work00:19:17 - Why Do RaaS Operators Offer the Service?

In this powerful interview, Amanda Ellis joins Emilio Ortiz on the Just Tap In Podcast to explore what 2026 is revealing and why this cycle marks a profound shift in human consciousness. Guided by Archangel Metatron, Amanda shares insights on accelerated timelines, solar and lunar light codes, color frequencies, Christ consciousness, and the collective initiation unfolding now. Together, they unpack why chaos, disclosure, and emotional intensity are not signs of collapse, but catalysts for sovereignty, remembrance, and the emergence of a new human template rooted in heart-led awareness and unity.✦ Learn more about The Deep Dive Membership | https://iamemilioortiz.com/the-deep-dive/This conversation bridges grounded integration with higher-dimensional insight, touching on ego death, planetary shifts, solar activity, and the role of color, sound, and geometry in supporting the nervous system during rapid awakening. Amanda delivers a Metatron transmission on the New Humanity, reminding us that the future is not something we wait for, but something we embody through courage, compassion, and conscious choice. If you sense that 2026–2030 marks a turning point, this episode offers clarity and a steady anchor for navigating change with wisdom rather than fear.___________________PODCAST CHAPTERS00:00 – Amanda Ellis Intro3:45 – How Humanity Responds to Global Chaos4:55 – Conscious Evolution & Becoming Aware of Technological Shifts6:42 – Metatron, AI & the Initial Resistance to New Frequencies9:32 – Disclosure, Earth Changes & Staying Open to the Unknown10:39 – Amanda's First Conscious Connection With Archangel Metatron (2005)12:02 – Why Metatron Appears During Major Life Transitions16:52 – Is Metatron False Light? 19:22 – Birth of a New World & Accelerated Timeline Shifts20:18 – 2026–2030: The Tsunami Wave of Consciousness22:02 – Earth Changes, Patriarchal Collapse & Collective Fear24:08 – Mental Health, Chaos & Anchoring in the Heart25:48 – Trusting the Younger Generations & Humanity's Resilience27:08 – Reading Current Events Through a Spiritual Lens30:00 – Freedom of Speech & Energy Sovereignty34:14 – Christ Consciousness Beyond Religion35:00 – Light Codes, Solar Activity & Planetary Support38:25 – Solar Flares & Color as Healing Medicine41:18 – Solar Light Integration & Nervous System Regulation42:56 – Sun, Moon & Light as Conscious Healers45:11 – Why 2026 Is the Year of Yellow47:42 – Energy Boundaries, Fear & Self-Mastery52:27 – Dark Night of the Soul & Initiation Cycles56:10 – Respecting the Darkness as a Teacher58:22 – Compassion, Self-Sabotage & Remembering the Tools1:03:08 – Guides, Presence & Spiritual Support in Low Points1:08:09 – Alchemy, Trauma & Transforming Pain Into Purpose1:08:52 – Metatron on the New Humanity (Channeled Message)1:12:17 – Birthing the New Earth Through Love1:20:42 – Oracle Card Pull: Earth, Fire & Moon Energies1:24:24 – How to Know an Initiation Is Complete___________________Guests: Amanda Ellis ✦ Website | https://www.amandaellis.co.uk/✦ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/angeliccelestialcolours/✦ YouTube | @AmandaEllis ✦ Angelic Celestial Colours | https://angeliccelestialcolours.co.uk/✦ Archangel Metatron's Self Mastery Oracle Deck | https://angeliccelestialcolours.co.uk/products/archangel-metatron-self-mastery-oracle-cardsHost: Emilio Ortiz✦ IG | https://www.instagram.com/iamemilioortiz/✦ Subscribe to Channel | https://www.youtube.com/EmilioOrtiz___________________© 2026 Emilio Ortiz.

In this episode of Ask and Answered by Soul, Jennifer Urezzio sits with Barbara McAfee, a “midwife for voices,” to explore what it means to birth your voice—not as performance, but as a soul-led act of self-expression and liberation. Barbara shares that her Soul has always asked her to get what's inside out, and she believes this is true for all of us: our gifts are meant to be given before we leave this life. Often, the call to express shows up physically—tightness in the throat, churning in the belly, a sense of “birth pangs” that something needs to be voiced. The first step, Barbara says, is simple and radical: make some noise. Beyond talking and even beyond singing, she invites people into pure sound—“woo” sound—using elemental qualities (earth, fire, water, metal, air) to access tones we don't typically allow in daily life. Jennifer mirrors this with her own work, sharing how sound practices can create immediate transformation and how deeply evolutionary it can be to let your real voice come through. They address a common fear: “I don't like the sound of my voice.” Barbara reframes this with compassion and practicality—recordings distort what we hear, and we experience our own voice differently through bone and vibration than through air. The discomfort often points to something deeper: voice and identity are tightly linked. Barbara describes the transformational journey of her clients as moving from discomfort to surprise to expansion—where discovering one's true range can blow apart an old self-concept. The persona may present one way, while the Soul holds a depth we haven't claimed yet. Jennifer reflects on her own experience of being miscast vocally and the profound shift that happens when you stop holding yourself back. Learn more about Barbara at https://www.barbaramcafee.com/. About Barbara Barbara McAfee is a "midwife for voices" who reconnects people to their souls through sound and self-expression. She's written two books and produced 9 recordings on her music.

#264: What if some of the worst biodiversity loss and land degradation is happening inside protected national parks, even where there is no farming, mining, or fossil fuel extraction? Allan Savory, author of the new book "Unsavory: African Stories of Wildlife, War, and the Birth of Holistic Management," explains how we can use livestock to reverse desertification in these areas. He also makes the case for convincing governments and institutions to use a holistic decision making approach that cuts though the chaos and highlights grounded choices that can heal our planet.https://realorganicproject.org/allan-savory-livestock-reverse-desertification-national-parksThe Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/directoryWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000 Real Friends:https://www.realorganicproject.org/real-organic-friends/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/
Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 25 | Swami Mukundananda Swamiji narrates the divine and miraculous circumstances of Shree Krishna's birth. Imprisoned by the cruel King Kamsa, Devaki and Vasudeva awaited the arrival of their eighth child, foretold to be Kamsa's destroyer. At midnight, the Lord manifested in His four-armed divine form, adorned with conch, discus, mace, and lotus, assuring His parents that He had come to protect dharma. At Devaki's prayer, Krishna concealed His divinity and appeared as a tender infant. By divine arrangement, the prison guards fell asleep, the chains broke, and the doors opened. Vasudeva carried the newborn across the Yamuna, which parted to make way, and safely placed Him in Gokul with Yashoda and Nanda. Meanwhile, Yogmaya ensured the divine exchange, protecting Krishna from Kamsa's wrath. Swamiji emphasizes that these events reveal the miracles of God's grace: when He descends, nature itself obeys His will. The birth of Krishna assures devotees that faith in God brings protection, guidance, and the triumph of dharma over adharma. About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades.
In this lecture we investigate how Nichiren Shonin's birth and faith can be used in our own study and practice of the Lotus Sutra.
In this message from our Ecclesiastes series at Elevate City Church, Pastor Joey McLaughlin walks through Ecclesiastes 7 and unpacks one of the most shocking statements in Scripture: “The Day of Death is Better Than the Day of Birth.” While that idea may sound absurd at first, Solomon invites us to consider how the reality of death shapes the way we live, revealing that legacy is more meaningful than potential and character matters more than appearances. This sermon explores how seasons of mourning and adversity often become our greatest teachers, helping us focus on what truly matters instead of chasing fleeting success or status. Through the contrast between résumé virtues and eulogy virtues, we're challenged to live with the end in mind and pursue wisdom, integrity, and faithfulness today. Ultimately, Ecclesiastes reminds us that the good life isn't found in avoiding hardship but in surrendering to God through every season.
Just as there are darkened seasons in human history—times when the structures sustaining civilization collapse in on themselves and humanity finds itself stiff-fisted, grasping at brittle branches, slipping between worlds—so too is every individual subject to phases of undoing in the metamorphosis of a lifetime.Entering the chrysalis is rarely a matter of choice. We would resist if we could. One morning, we awaken with a pit in the stomach, a visceral unease that signals change even before we can name its source. Quite all of a sudden, we find we have entered a dream with no solid ground and no turning back. Loss feels imminent, along with the uncertainty of what comes next or how we will get there. We try to keep moving, mistaking busyness for control of circumstance. We hoist the blueprints of our former lives above our heads to keep them dry, trying to shore up what is already dissolving.We try very hard, as all creatures do, not to die. Yet for the caterpillar, entering the chrysalis is a form of programmed death—a gruesome act of self-digestion. What can the larva comprehend of its own metamorphosis as it surrenders to darkness and enzymatic dissolution? Before it can be reconstituted, the caterpillar's whole body must pupate—which is to say liquify. Epithelial cells breaking down, muscles and mandibles lysed by their own enzymes, the entire body reduced to a nutrient slurry.Every winter, nature takes this serious turn. Fallen leaves coil in on themselves, roots retreat, seeds release, and stillness wraps the living world. Here's orientation from a recent column in our cherished local magazine, the Santa Fe New Mexican —“In winter, our arid steppe climate shows us the value of leaving things alone. Grasses left standing become shelter. Seed heads become sustenance. Evergreen shrubs offer cover from wind and predators when the world feels most exposed. What looks untidy to us is, in fact, a carefully balanced system of protection and patience. The garden does not ask us to fix it in January—only to witness it.”The winter gardener knows not to try to fix such depression, but instead to witness and accompany the world beyond control. For the winter gardener recognizes the fallows as sanctuary, the outer casings of seed heads and pale grasses as fortresses of transformation, and death as a passage between birthing seasons. This is the winter gardener's regenerative faith.Similarly, with respect to human development, Jungian analyst and author Marion Woodman called the chrysalis “a twilight between past, present, and future,” a place where the psyche must “tolerate annihilation—just long enough for the new form to begin assembling itself.” She described the sojourn of life as a series of “border crossings between what we were and what we cannot yet imagine.”For the caterpillar, the dream of the butterfly is carried by imaginal cells—tiny, sac-like clusters that, through the primordial twilight of metamorphosis, give rise at last to compound eyes, scaled wings—a new and elegant anatomy. This is how a creature built for crawling holds within its body the imagination of flight.In his 1910 Oxford lecture, The Birth of Humility, anthropologist Robert Ranulph Marett described metamorphic thresholds as “psycho-physical,” when body and mind falter so that “latent energies [may] gather strength for activity on a fresh plane.”The most courageous way we can enter the chrysalis is with attunement. “Pause,” Marett wrote, “is the necessary condition of the development of all those higher purposes which make up the rational being.” James Baldwin attested that the darkest hour can “force a reconciliation between oneself and all one's pain and error.” We cannot will ourselves to grow, for transformation is an act of presence, not power. But within the privacy of our consciousness, with patience and attention, we can rediscover the forces shaping our evolution and develop faith in what is becoming.In Jungian terms, the collective mirrors the individual psyche: what deconstructs in the outer world—painfully, though necessarily—reflects what must be reimagined from within. Today, democratic principles and ecological balance are slipping from their axes. But, as Marett observed, “Not until the days of this period of chrysalis life have been painfully accomplished can [a person] emerge a new and glorified creature.”Some silent, imaginal knowledge within us already knows the way. Here in the high desert, the earliest bloomers will soon appear: proof that the intelligence of life has been preparing the ground, all along, for the resurrection of some new and common beauty.Together, we're making sense of what it means to be human in an era of radical change.

From panic attacks and rock bottom to building global fitness brands, Noah and Matt explore the profound connection between physical training and mental resilience. Noah shares how structured movement became the foundation for managing ADHD, anxiety, and depression, and why the discipline of fight training translates directly into how we navigate life's hardest moments. A candid conversation on the neuroscience of presence, the therapeutic power of service to others, and what it truly means to train for longevity, in the ring and beyond.Timestamps:00:00 — Introduction & Cold Weather in New York01:04 — Pittsburgh Roots, Sports, and Life Metaphors02:22 — How Training Saved Noah's Life03:05 — ADHD, Physical Control, and Emotional Regulation04:36 — Early Influences: Boxing Gyms, Body for Life, and Therapy06:28 — Football, Identity, and Taking Control of the Body07:02 — College, Jiu-Jitsu, and Finding Purpose08:08 — Anxiety, Depression, and the Power of Presence09:22 — What "Training" Really Means: Sleep, Nutrition, and Mindset10:36 — How You Train Is How You Fight Is How You Live13:30 — The Turning Point: Giving to Others as Therapy14:10 — Selling Drugs, Materialism, and Misery15:23 — Muhammad Ali, Service, and Spiritual Rent17:23 — Failing Upwards: The Road to Barry's Bootcamp19:46 — Warren Stout, Jiu-Jitsu, and Rebuilding After Near-Overdose21:19 — The Craigslist Apartment and Moving to New York22:27 — Walking Into Barry's Bootcamp for the First Time25:44 — Vampire Fitness Hour: Building a Brand from One Class27:47 — Teaching Through Panic Attacks and Overcoming Them28:57 — Medication, Anxiety, and Finding the Root Cause31:12 — The Tattoo, King Henry VI, and "Fearless Minds"32:30 — The Birth of Rumble Boxing36:54 — Co-founding Rumble with Eugene Ram38:09 — Pandemic, Selling Rumble, and What Comes Next40:07 — Launching The Pack: Three Dogs, Three Modalities47:07 — Knuckle Therapy: Honoring Oz and Building a Brand52:55 — A Typical Week: Exercise, Walking, and Movement55:17 — Training at Henzo Gracie's and Teaching Daily57:03 — Recovery, Injury Prevention, and Longevity at 4101:02:37 — Nutrition: Eating a Lot, Eating Clean01:06:46 — Sleep, Balance, and Living in the Extremes01:11:43 — The Most Unexpected Part of the Journey01:16:24 — Advice for Anyone Going Through It01:19:46 — Choose Love, Not Fear: Closing Thoughts
I wanted to share something important with you — especially if you're currently pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or supporting someone who is. Over the past seven years of Australian Birth Stories, I've had the privilege of sitting down with more than 600 women and their families to hear their pregnancy and birth stories. And alongside that, I've also birthed my own three boys — each pregnancy, each labour, and each birth teaching me something different about preparation, trust, and the importance of feeling informed and supported.And if there's one thing I've learned — both through my own births and through hundreds of conversations — it's this:Birth rarely unfolds exactly how we imagine it will.But the women who feel calm, confident and empowered aren't the ones who had a specific type of birth…They're the ones who understood their options.They're the ones who knew how their body worked.They're the ones who had practical tools, trusted support, and evidence-based education behind them.That's exactly why I created The Birth Class.I wanted to bring together everything I've learned — from my own experiences, from the stories shared on this podcast, and from Australia's leading midwives, obstetricians, physiotherapists, lactation consultants, and birth educators — into one calm, clear, comprehensive course.Because when you understand birth, fear naturally begins to dissolve.You stop feeling like birth is something happening to you…And instead, you feel like an active participant in the experience.You understand how labour works.You understand your choices.And you trust yourself to navigate whatever unfolds.Since launching The Birth Class, more than 7,000 women and their partners have taken the course.And the feedback I hear again and again is:“I felt calm.” “I felt prepared.” “I felt confident — even when my birth didn't go to plan.”Because this isn't about promising a perfect birth.It's about preparing you for a positive experience — whatever that looks like for you.And for the next few days, all of our online courses are available at 25% off.You can access the sale using the code BIRTH25.If you've been thinking about preparing for birth…If you've been meaning to enrol…Or if you've been listening to these stories and wondering how to prepare yourself…This is a beautiful time to begin.Because birth education doesn't just change how you give birth.It changes how you feel walking into it.You deserve to feel calm.You deserve to feel informed.You deserve to feel confident in your choices.And most importantly, you deserve to feel supported.You can find all the course details HERE and use the code BIRTH25 to access 25% off.I'm so honoured to support you in your preparation for birth.

#691: Your IQ used to be your biggest career asset. Then AI scored in the 99th percentile on the LSAT, the SAT, and the MCAT — and suddenly the cognitive skills that once set you apart became something anyone can access for free. Executive coach Liz Tran joins us to talk about what actually drives career success and earning power now. Her answer: AQ, or agility quotient — your capacity to handle change, learn new skills fast, and keep moving when your industry shifts beneath you. The personal finance implications are real. The average half-life of a technical skill is five years. In tech, it's closer to two. That means the expertise you spent years building — and the salary that came with it — can become obsolete faster than a mortgage term. Tran argues the people who protect their earning power long-term aren't necessarily the most credentialed. They're the ones who can unlearn old ways and adapt quickly. We walk through her four AQ archetypes — the neurosurgeon, the astronaut, the firefighter, and the novelist — each with a different default approach to change. Knowing your type helps you understand where you might freeze up during a career pivot, a market downturn, or a high-stakes financial decision. Tran points out that analysis paralysis, something many real estate investors and career changers know well, often comes down to archetype — and there are practical fixes. We also cover her ABCD framework — anchors, bets, classroom, and discomfort — which maps out how to stay functional and decisive during volatile periods. And we get into the six thinking hats theory, specifically how pairing black-hat (downside) thinking with green-hat (future-focused) thinking can sharpen any major financial or career decision.
