Podcasts about Bonding

Welcome back to another episode of the Bourbon Road podcast! This week, Todd Ritter is holding down the fort solo while Jim Shannon escapes to warmer weather. But Todd isn't drinking alone at the Bourbon Road bar; he's joined by two fantastic returning guests to celebrate the Bottled in Bond Act. Amsey Wenning, the "Alec Baldwin of the show" from the Frankfort Bourbon Society and Bourbon on the Banks, is back, along with filmmaker Bo Cumberland, the director behind the Frankfort: The Heart of Bourbon documentary. The guys dive into a deep discussion about Bo's recent documentary work. With his Frankfort film approaching 22,000 views on YouTube, Bo shares the overwhelmingly positive response it has received. He also talks about his exciting new series, Forging a Bourbon Legacy, which explores the deep, intertwining roots of bourbon history in Anderson County. Through short-form episodes, Bo is uncovering the fascinating stories of families and figures like the Ripy family, the Bonds, Judge McBrayer, and the history behind Wild Turkey, proving that Kentucky's bourbon history is anything but simple. Amsey also shares some incredible news about the Bourbon on the Banks festival, revealing that the charity-driven event recently distributed over $100,000 to local organizations, with volunteers getting a say in where the funds go. Of course, a Bottled in Bond celebration requires some stellar 100-proof whiskeys, and the tasting mat is loaded with unique and highly anticipated pours: First up is a true dusty: 1992 Old Crow Bottled-in-Bond. This 4-year-old Japanese export delivers a classic bourbon nose with rich caramel and dark colors that defy its age. The guys marvel at its luscious mouthfeel and cherry caramel notes, finding it vastly superior to modern iterations of the brand and proving that the "good Old Crow" was truly something special. Next, Amsey brings a unique bottle to the table: Angel's Envy Cask Strength Bottled in Bond. A rare combination of terms, this 6-year-old bourbon achieves its 100 proof through a lower barrel entry proof and meticulous blending rather than adding water. The crew discovers an intriguing almond and amaretto nose, followed by a soft, fruity palate with hints of green apple, light caramel, and a sweet confectioner's sugar finish that drinks surprisingly gentle. Finally, they head south to sample the Old Dominick Bottled in Bond Tennessee Whiskey. Produced in Memphis, this expression features a mash bill of 75% corn, 13% rye, and 12% malted barley. It undergoes the Lincoln County process and is aged in West Tennessee white oak with a heavy #4 alligator char. The result is a bold, earthy pour with notes of dark cherry, sweet pipe tobacco, and a pleasant graininess that finishes with a spicy, white pepper kick. Tune in as the guys sip through these incredible bonded whiskeys, debate the merits of short-form versus long-form storytelling, and share plenty of laughs along the way. Cheers!

Happy Friday Mosquitoes & Mossies!In honour of our real life besties NEVER listening to our advice, we started this ep off with a lil bit of healing by way of giving advice to our bollywood besties who we believe had gone down the wrong path. Criminal guys and gals seem to be the flavour of the season when it comes to falling in love, and MOS does not approve. By popular demand we are back with an episode on the futility of advising your girl besties, broken female friendships, bury-the-body friends, and the myth that is a mature friendship breakup. Naina and Sakshi debate the difference between supporting your friends and enabling them, with a humble request from Sakshi to do some enabling when it comes to Meerut pronunciations. We also discussed whether our parent's generation did friendship better, Naina tried to start a pen pal community, and Sakshi requested that you remember that this is a comedy podcast - so have some pity on a bin-byaahi beti. Finally, we unpacked a few stories from MOS listeners who experienced some insane girl besties, and took a moment of silence for the mom friend of the group (hug your nearest mom friend, give them a day off, pls). Bonus: Exam szn got Sakshi feeling nostalgic and she gave us a mini-recap of a gadhyasankalan short story that has traumatized many an ICSE student.If you are a tru MOS bestie, go enable us by hitting like, share, hype, subscribe, follow, and scream it from the rooftops so that we can hit 100k.

In this episode of the America's Work Force Union Podcast, we dive deep into the two pillars of a thriving labor movement: professional excellence in the business of construction and inclusive recruitment that reaches remote communities. Segment 1: The Business of the Trades with Pete Ielmini Pete Ielmini, Executive Director of the Mechanical Insulators Labor Management Cooperative Trust (LMCT), discusses why union apprenticeship is about more than just "hard skills." Ielmini breaks down the "soft skills" that define a professional—safety culture, mental health awareness, and leadership. He also offers a candid look at the business side of the industry, explaining why many new contractors fail and what it takes to build a stable, successful union firm in today's market. Segment 2: Indigenous Inclusion in Northern Ontario with Andy Nieweglowski Andy Nieweglowski, Training Director for LIUNA Local 607, joins the show to discuss a groundbreaking partnership with the Lakehead District School Board and Matawa First Nations. With massive infrastructure and mining projects like the Ring of Fire on the horizon, Nieweglowski explains how Local 607 is removing barriers for Indigenous students—from residency housing to childcare—to ensure local people are ready for local jobs. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why safety culture has shifted from a checklist to a financial and ethical imperative. The "hidden" costs of contracting: Bonding, insurance, and the reality of payment timelines. How LIUNA Local 607 plans to double its membership by 2030. The role of tiny home construction in modern apprentice training.

From dentin permeability to hybrid layer degradation, Professor Van Meerbeek's research has fundamentally shaped how clinicians understand the biological and mechanical realities of bonding. This conversation moves beyond product marketing and into the core science: what we truly know, what remains uncertain, and why durability in adhesion continues to require deliberate clinical judgment. Together, they unpack the "adhesion degradation paradox," the hydrophilicity trade-off inherent in universal systems, and the persistent performance gap between simplified one-step adhesives and multi-step gold standards. The discussion explores film thickness, hydrophobic layering, stress distribution, and the biomechanical role of flowable composites as stress-relieving buffers. They also examine why 10-MDP concentration matters, why not all universal adhesives perform equivalently, and how bonding strategy should be tailored to substrate conditions—from young permeable dentin to sclerotic or amalgam-affected substrates. This is not a discussion about shortcuts. It is a rigorous, clinically grounded examination of what evidence-based adhesive dentistry actually demands. If you are striving to practice with greater clarity, confidence, and scientific defensibility, this episode will recalibrate how you think about bonding protocols in everyday practice. Part 2 will continue the conversation, moving deeper into contamination management, clinical troubleshooting, and long-term durability.

Have you ever discovered a betrayal—infidelity, a lie, or a discard—and suddenly felt a surge of intense desire to be close to the person who hurt you? That isn't love—it's Hysterical Bonding.Hysterical bonding is a biological survival response. When a narcissist pulls away or betrays you, your brain treats the loss of the relationship as a life-or-death threat. This triggers a frantic need to reclaim the bond, often through intense physical intimacy or emotional desperation, just to feel "safe" again.In this video, I'm breaking down this phenomenon from the perspective of a self-aware narcissist. I'm explaining why this response is exactly what a narcissist wants, because it resets the cycle and gives them ultimate control over your panic.IN THIS VIDEO:The Panic Response: Why betrayal leads to an obsession with reconnection.Biological Warfare: How your own hormones (Oxytocin/Dopamine) keep you trapped.The Narcissist's Reset: Why we use your "bonding" to avoid accountability for what we did.Breaking the Cycle: How to recognize the difference between love and trauma-induced panic.Your body is reacting to a threat.

In the field of human sexuality, understanding the bridge between primal drive and complex affection is a central challenge. While sex functions as a biological imperative for species survival, the science of love and relationships reveals that modern intimacy is actually a precarious cocktail of physical, cultural, and psychological factors. Despite this complexity, Kinsey Institute Research suggests we are hardwired to pursue these connections; the powerful dopamine payoff acts as a neurological engine, urging us past the hurdles of modern dating toward connection. TTo better understand sex, love, and the future of dating, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with Justin R. Garcia, an award-winning researcher, educator, and Executive Director of Kinsey Institute Research. In the first part of this conversation, Justin unpacks the provocative research behind his book, The Intimate Animal: The Science of Sex, Fidelity, and Why We Live and Die for Love. He candidly discusses compulsive sexual behaviors, unique challenges associated with polyamory, and the enduring benefits of coupledom. Like what you're hearing?

Bonding leave sounds straightforward: an employee has a baby, takes time off, and returns to work. But Sarah Piscatelli and Mary McNally from AIM HR Solutions know that the space between a well-intentioned law and its practical implementation is where almost every employer gets stuck. Not because the law is unclear, but because making it work requires navigating overlapping state and federal regulations, measurement periods that don't align, and scenarios the drafters probably didn't anticipate.In this episode, Pete talks with Sarah and Mary about why bonding leave has become one of the most frequently used and most frequently misunderstood benefits in Massachusetts HR. They explore how 12 weeks of bonding leave can combine with medical leave to reach 26 weeks total, how that coordinates (or doesn't) with FMLA and an older state parental leave law still on the books, and what happens when both parents work for the same company or when an employee wants to take leave intermittently rather than all at once. They discuss why there's no standardization in how doctors approve medical recovery time, why taking a vacation during bonding leave isn't fraud, and why a benefit designed to support families requires HR professionals to operate as project managers just to keep everything compliant.Press play to discover why something that sounds simple becomes intricate the moment you try to implement it—and what it takes to get it right.AIM members can reach the HR Helpline at 800-470-6277 or helpline@aimnet.org for inquiries Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. (EST).

This week, we talk about Jewish/Israeli pride and the need to recognize God's unwavering presence in our lives, even on days when He seems to be hiding . . . . Pull Up a Chair 22JAN2026 - PODCAST

The message centers on the restoration of healthy, joy-filled relationships through the cultivation of love bonds—rooted in truth, intimacy, and mutual joy—rather than fear bonds driven by unresolved pain, bitterness, or spiritual strongholds. Drawing from Scripture, particularly Ephesians and Colossians, it emphasizes that marital health depends on being filled with the Spirit and grounded in Christ, which enables couples to confront issues like pride, moral impurity, generational sin, and past trauma with humility and forgiveness. The preacher highlights the importance of emotional honesty, the need for both spouses to meet each other's core relational needs—affection, intimacy, and affirmation—and the necessity of surrendering personal rights to Christ's authority. By addressing hidden wounds, breaking soul ties, and fostering a cooperative spirit under God's leadership, couples can experience healing that extends beyond themselves to future generations, ultimately reflecting God's redemptive design for marriage.

Bonding is one of the biggest bottlenecks in construction growth—and most contractors misunderstand it. In this episode, Eric Anderton talks with Gary Eastman, President of Swift Bonds and Access Surety, about what sureties really look for when deciding whether to bond a contractor. They break down the Three C's—Character, Capacity, and Capital—why character matters more than most owners realize, what happens behind the scenes during bond claims, and how smart contractors increase bonding capacity without blowing up their business. If you want to bid bigger jobs, improve margins, and reduce risk, this is a must-listen.

In this episode, host Christopher Robbins interviews Christopher Mannino about his new book "Making It Up: A Revolutionary Way to Bond with Kids Through Play." Mannino shares how parents, teachers, and caregivers can strengthen their relationships with children through just 10 minutes of daily imaginative play using improv techniques. The conversation explores the two pillars of Mannino's method: improvisation skills for engaging with children and "anchor" techniques from method acting to help adults stay calm and present. Through practical examples and personal stories, Mannino demonstrates how this approach not only deepens bonds with children but also helps adults manage stress and create lasting memories. Episode Highlights 00:00:00: Host Christopher Robbins welcomes listeners to the Helping Families Be Happy podcast and introduces guest Christopher Mannino, author and former theater teacher now living in Malta. 00:01:30: Christopher Mannino thanks the host for having him back on the podcast. 00:02:05: Mannino explains that his book is about strengthening bonds through play, dedicating 10 minutes a day to active imaginative playtime, which builds resilience and emotional regulation for both adults and children. 00:03:52: Mannino provides the tea party scenario as a simple example of improvised imaginative play, explaining how to accept and build on children's ideas using the "yes, and" principle from improv. 00:06:19: Discussion of the two pillars of the method: improv-based techniques and method acting skills that help adults stay calm during stressful moments. 00:08:00: Mannino shares a powerful memory from the first day of pandemic homeschooling when he and his son built an imaginary rocket ship and explored the solar system, creating a song they still sing years later. 00:10:48: Host Christopher Robbins shares a story about his wife teaching violin to their son by dressing up as a different character, transforming the lesson into imaginative play. 00:12:29: Mannino explains the "established pivot" concept, describing how offering a new idea helps children's developing brains get unstuck and transform non-fun activities into enjoyable experiences. 00:14:31: Discussion about setting boundaries with children while maintaining the practice, and introduction to the "anchor" technique for managing parental burnout. 00:16:23: Mannino explains the anchor technique in detail, describing how to use recent positive memories to center yourself and maintain emotional presence with children. 00:18:10: Mannino shares his current anchor memory of seeing polar bears at the Munich zoo with his son, demonstrating how this memory helps him stay present and engaged. 00:19:38: Closing remarks with information about where to find Christopher Mannino online at christophermannino.com Key Takeaways Just 10 minutes of daily imaginative play using improv techniques can significantly strengthen bonds between adults and children while building emotional resilience The "yes, and" principle from improv—accepting children's ideas and building on them—transforms ordinary moments into meaningful play experiences. The "anchor" technique from method acting helps adults manage stress and stay emotionally present by tapping into positive recent memories Pivoting or offering new ideas helps children get unstuck when they resist activities, transforming resistance into engagement. Setting boundaries is acceptable—you don't have to play every time a child asks, but dedicating consistent quality time makes a lasting impact. Imaginative play creates core memories that children carry with them for years, strengthening long-term relationships. Quotable Moments "If you can dedicate that 10 minutes a day to real active, imaginative playtime, and then you try the method and you try these, these new techniques, they're really easy and they're honestly really fun." "It's not just about fun and building, it's also about resilience and emotional regulation for you as the adult." "Kid runs in and their arms outstretched and says, dad, I'm flying. And what's your instant reaction? Because most people in that moment are like, okay, you have fun with that, or, I'm gonna keep cooking, or, eh, are you, but what happens if you say yes?" "Flash forward to today, years later, we still sing the song that we ended up writing from that trip around the solar system." "I never do anything, whether it's an interview or going to work or going shopping or just waking up in the morning without an anchor at the ready." "You're gonna take that same technique and just feel happy. You don't have to tap into like a million different emotions." "Once you start doing it a few times you're gonna realize it can be really fun and b, if you use that, anchor, that memory to get you centered right before suddenly it doesn't feel like work."

Pool Pros text questions hereSteve Sherwood kicks off the New Year's Day conclusion of the holiday two-parter with a no-fluff reminder: if you're not doing chemical dosing calculations, what are you even doing out there? This episode is a practical, field-first toolbox talk—equal parts profitability and liability prevention.Steve breaks down why measuring accurately (liquid and dry) isn't “extra,” it's literally the difference between making money and quietly donating it to every pool you touch. He walks through the core measurement tools every tech should carry, then pivots into operational safety: SDS sheets, chemical transport, bonding/grounding awareness at equipment pads, and how to avoid expensive (and reputation-killing) accidents like flooding a yard or dropping a $4,000 heater on the highway.He closes with a promise: next week he'll get into a full wish list of gear you should be buying for your techs (and yourself) to make the job easier in 2026—plus he offers to share his calculation sheets if you email the show.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeAccurate dosing isn't nerd stuff—it's profit protection Steve calls out the casual “just eyeball it” culture and explains how small overpours multiply fast across a route. A little extra per stop becomes real money by the end of the week and month.The reality of app-based dosing Using an app is fine—if you actually set it up correctly. Steve points out the common failure: techs use apps without confirming product strengths (cal-hypo % varies, liquid chlorine strength varies), which makes the output garbage.Field measurement tools every tech should carry Steve emphasizes having simple, cheap tools that prevent waste:A fluid-ounce measuring cup (so “half a gallon” isn't a guess)A dedicated dry-chemical scoop system (like “smart scoops”) for more consistent dosing—unless you're willing to go full-pro and carry a scaleRoute management: track chemical usage like you mean it He talks about using modern apps and reporting to review chemical spend by account—so you can see who's profitable and who's quietly eating your margins.Safety and Liability: The Stuff That Can Ruin Your YearSDS sheets in the truck, always Steve stresses having a physical SDS binder/folder for everything you carry—because in an accident, nobody else is going to “handle your chemical problem.” If there's a spill or cleanup, it's coming back to you.Bonding and grounding checks at the equipment pad Steve urges techs to stop ignoring the pad. Take a minute and look. Missing or improper bonding/grounding isn't just “code talk”—it's a safety risk that can become a negligence nightmare if something goes wrong.Carry extra bonding wire He recommends keeping a roll of the correct gauge bonding wire on the truck because he runs into missing or incorrect bonding more often than he should.Secure loads in your truck He highlights straps (rocket straps / heavy-duty straps) because the worst-case scenario is catastrophic: equipment or chemicals falling out at highway speed, causing injury or damage—and liability lands on you.“Stop Flooding People's Yards” ToolsWater timers save your ass Flow meters for smarter fills and commer Support the showThank you so much for listening!
