IS THE LET THEM THEORY RIGHT FOR YOU? In this episode of the Podiatry Legends Podcast, I host an open debate about The LET THEM Theory by Mel Robbins. I'm joined by Carly O'Donoghue, who loves the book, and Elan Silver, who has a few issues with it. Together, we unpack the real-world relevance of this viral mindset theory for podiatrists and business owners alike. ORDER The LET THEM Theory. What is the LET THEM Theory? At its core, Robbins encourages us to stop trying to control other people's reactions. Whether it's a patient, staff member, or family member—"let them" react how they want. It's not your job to manage their emotions. Instead, you focus on your own intentions, values, and next actions. The Clinical & Business Application Carly shared how the book can help you have difficult conversations with confidence, whether with a colleague or a parent at school. Elan, however, raised a valid concern: the theory might be misapplied by those lacking emotional intelligence or maturity. For example, avoiding hard conversations altogether under the guise of “letting them” could actually harm relationships or performance. Leadership Through Boundaries As business owners, we often avoid giving feedback to staff or raising issues with patients because we fear conflict. The LET THEM Theory reminds us that their reaction isn't ours to manage; we just need to communicate with kindness and clarity. Letting go of that fear can significantly reduce stress and increase productivity. The Other Side of the Coin: Let Me We also explored the often-overlooked "Let Me" side of the theory. Let them behave how they want, but let me decide how I respond. Let me reset expectations. Let me move on. Let me lead. This is where the real power lies. It's not about passivity; it's about reclaiming your focus. Should You Read the Book? Carly says yes, especially if you're constantly people-pleasing or feeling emotionally drained. Elan recommends it too, but with caution. Not every reader will interpret it in a healthy way. As for me, I deliberately did not read the book before this episode, so that I could stay neutral, but now I'm convinced it's worth opening up, even just one page at a time. Listen now, and let us know if you are on Team Carly, Team Elan, or somewhere in between. If you have any questions for Carly or Elan, please email me at tyson@podiatrylegends.com. ORDER The LET THEM Theory HERE Don't forget to look at my UPCOMING EVENTS. Do You Want A Little Business Guidance?

Send us a textJon Connington and Aegon Targaryen meet the Golden Company. The route to Daenerys is closed, so the young prince suggests that instead they head West. Connington, infected with greyscale, is impressed. Simon and Mackelly carefully examine their extremities.Chapter ReviewGriff, Jon Connington, leads young Griff, Aegon Targaryen, to the encampment of the Golden Company. They are led to the commander's tent. Within Homeless Harry Strickland is bathing his sore toes, Connington is not impressed. He'd been uncertain of his reception as he had left the company in disgrace a dozen years earlier. However, the assembled captains appear to be aware of the ruse and the contract with Ilyrio Mopatis to fight for Young Griff. The prince's true identity is revealed to a lack of surprise. Talk turns to how they might get him to Daenerys. All routes seem problematic. Eventually Aegon himself offers an alternative. He is the only dragon they need. Why not go to Westeros and stake his claim there? Daenerys can have Meereen. The captains rally to this call and Connington is impressed by his young charge. Aegon is taken to meet the men, with the Young Griff persona back in place. Meanwhile Connington examines his fingers that are clearly showing the signs of greyscale. He hopes that he can live long enough to see his Prince back on the throne and for his bones to be laid to rest in Griffin's Roost.Young Griff/Aegon Targaryen - Teenage nephew of Daenerys. Believed murdered in the sack of King's Landing.Griff/Jon Connington - exiled lord of Westeros. Loyal to the Targaryens.

Gambling With Good JuJu - Sports Betting, Casino Gambling, Las Vegas, and Shenanigans
Welcome to Gambling With Good JuJu, the show that reviews more authors than Granny's book club—and drops more casino hacks than your favorite gambling forum. This week, we're thrilled to sit down with veteran journalist and author Michael Kaplan, whose brand new book Advantage Players pulls back the curtain on the most fascinating figures in gambling.From Phil Ivey and Kelly Sun's edge-sorting scheme to Mattress Mack's multi-million dollar sports bets, Kaplan takes us on a tour of high-stakes strategy, psychological warfare, and the rare personalities who consistently beat the house. We also dive into his earlier work covering legends like Stu Ungar, Doyle Brunson, and David Blaine, plus his unexpected path from punk zines to Cigar Aficionado's gambling columnist.
South Vietnam has a long coastline and lots of waterways, particularly in the Mekong River Delta at the southern tip of the country. In 1968 U.S. Naval Forces Vietnam had roughly 38,000 sailors serving in country. Their main tasks were to prevent supplies from reaching the Viet Cong, stopping Viet Cong movements, helping move U.S. Army units along the water, and guarding ports and harbors. It was dangerous work. 1,631 sailors were killed in action, 935 died from other causes, and 4,178 were wounded. Lieutenant Commander Thomas Cutler served in Vietnam and tells the story.

Hello Initiates! A little something different for you this week! The first of our two part, 4 1/2 hour deep dive into the notorious Turner Diaries - a book so extreme, we had to double-check it wasn't satire. Spoiler: it's deadly serious, but that didn't stop us from bringing our signature irreverence to the discussion.Here, in Part One, we break down the early chapters and try to make sense of the book's wildest claims.. from drive-by bombings to the jaw-dropping idea that feminism would somehow lead to the legalization of rape. The hateful rhetoric is appalling, but the logic is so twisted, sometimes all you can do is laugh.We don't pull punches calling out the racism, misogyny, and antisemitism, but we also make sure to highlight just how preposterous and self-defeating these arguments are. Because honestly, ridicule is one of the best tools we have against hate.Throughout the episode, we reflect on how far society has come (and how far we still have to go) in challenging bigotry and conspiracy thinking. With Greg Hall's insights and our own lived experiences, we connect the dots between these extremist ideas and the rhetoric we see online today.So join us as we take on The Turner Diaries armed with critical thinking, a refusal to let hate go unchallenged, and, as always, a healthy dose of SDCIC humour. It's grim, it's outrageous, but we promise it's never boring.- We introduce The Turner Diaries and its author, William Pierce, setting the stage for why this book matters in extremist circles.- Break down the early plot: the “Organization's” violent tactics, including bombings and drive-by attacks.- Highlight the book's ludicrous leaps in logic—especially its claim that feminism leads to the legalization of rape.- Call out the novel's overt racism, antisemitism, and scapegoating, exposing its conspiracy tropes.- Discuss how the book frames liberalism, feminism, and civil rights as existential threats.- Share our real-time reactions to the most shocking and preposterous passages.- Draw parallels between the book's arguments and today's far-right talking points and online discourse.- Reflect on how attitudes toward race, gender, and tolerance have changed—and why challenging bigotry is crucial.- Greg Hall brings context on the roots of modern extremist rhetoric and the dangers of normalizing hate.- Through it all, we tackle the book's absurdities with our signature SDCIC humour, making sure even the darkest material gets the ridicule it deserves.LISTEN TO PART TWO: https://www.patreon.com/posts/turner-diaries-132792226AD FREE EPISODES ARE AVAILABLE AT https://www.patreon.com/somedarecallitconspiracy FOR JUST $2 PER MONTH TWO EPISODES PER WEEK AVAILABLE FOR $5 (PATREONS ARE CURRENTLY 5 EPISODES OF T.W.A.T.S.

Send us a text"In this episode of Besties and the Books, Liz and Ashley dive deep into Glow of the Everflame, book two in Penn Cole's Kindred's Curse Saga. They start off with their spoiler-free reviews, giving the book high praise for character growth, richer world-building, and a masterful slow-burn romance. They give a brief 5 sentence book summary. They also share some fun personal updates, from movie nights to dog mishaps. Once in spoiler territory, they provide a detailed five-sentence plot summary and discuss their favorite tropes like found family, royal intrigue, and strong side characters, all while keeping the tone warm, relatable, and full of fangirl energy."We interviewed Penn Cole, we took a deep dive into Spark of the Everflame, and today we're continuing on with our Kindred's Curse Saga series with our deep dive into book 2: Glow of the Everflame. We discuss why this series, and the FMC Diem Bellator in particular, stray away from expected fantasy conventions by defining strength in a myriad of ways and by emphasizing the importance of embracing the power all of us have within ourselves. Emotion is not inherently weak or feminine and logic is not strong or inherently masculine. Diem consistently acknowledges that working in an either/or framework is impossible and harmful, and uniquely recognizes that the only way to truly be the leader she is destined to be is through both/and thinking, feeling, and problem solving. We talk about the MMC Luther, and whether or not he's a feminist, we break down our favorite and least favorite parts, tropes, and characters, share reviews, and discuss whether or not we're looking forward to reading the sequels. And we start out with a movie themed fave and fail and end on a high note with a smash or pass highschool teen heart throb, and influential scientist edition.Don't be shy, subscribe!

The White Crow by Michael Robotham As the daughter of a London crime boss, Police Constable Philomena McCarthy walks a thin blue line keeping the two sides of her complicated life apart. On patrol one night she discovers a child in pyjamas, wandering alone. Taking Daisy home, Phil uncovers the aftermath of a deadly home invasion, as three miles away a prominent jeweller is found strapped to an explosive in his ransacked store. The crimes are linked, and all the evidence points to Phil's father as the mastermind. Phil's two worlds are colliding, trapping her in the middle of a vicious gang war that will threaten her career and everyone she loves. Who can she trust – the badge or her own blood? This Is Not a Game by Kelly Mullen Widow Mimi lives on idyllic Mackinac Island where cars are not allowed and a Gibson with three onions at the witching hour is compulsory. Her granddaughter, Addie, is getting over the heartbreak of her fiancé, Brian, dumping her and cutting her out of the deal for the brilliantly successful video game, Murderscape, they invented together (with Addie doing most of the heavy lifting). When Mimi gets an invitation from local socialite Jane Ireland--a seventysomething narcissist who is having an affair with her son-in-law--to a charity auction, it is the perfect excuse to get Addie to join her for the weekend. What Mimi isn't telling Addie is that a blackmail threat from Jane looms over the party's invitation. In case the scene wasn't already set for a turbulent weekend, a big storm rolls in, trapping everyone in the mansion. And then, Jane's body is found. Soon Mimi and Addie are caught in a dangerous game, relying on their skills (Mimi loves a crossword puzzle, and Addie is a brilliant game designer, after all) to narrow down the suspects. When another body turns up, the sleuthing pair realize someone else is playing a deadly game, and they might not survive the night. . . .

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)
Send us a textTyrion isn't dead. But will have to (painfully) test himself for greyscale for the rest of his life. On a detour to a brothel during a fact-finding mission, he's waylaid by a bear-like Westerosi knight who plans to take him to the Queen. Mackelly and Simon wonder which queen?Chapter Review:Tyrion Lannister wakes aboard the Shy Maid. His companions have pulled him from the river and are treating his extremities with vinegar to prevent greyscale infection. He must prick his extremities every few hours to check for loss of feeling.He talks to Young Griff (aka Aegon Targaryen) over a game of cyvasse. The young man shares what he's been told of his rescue. When things looked bad in King's Landing, Varys paid a tanner for his baby and smuggled the real Aegon across the Narrow Sea to Ilyrio Mopatis. Tyrion gives the young prince a few useful lessons, in particular not to expect a warm welcome from Aunty Daenerys. And to perhaps go to Dorne and lay his claim to the Iron Throne for himself. Then when they do reunite, it will be as equals.Tyrion visits Selhorys with Haldon. They learn that the Red Priests are singing Dany's praises, that she is Azor Ahai reborn. But that the nobility of the Rhoyne are very much opposed to her thwarting of the slave trade. Tyrion detours to a brothel where he drunkenly encounters a Westerosi knight, who calls him Imp, draws steel, and announces that he'll be taking Tyrion to the Queen.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister whom he recently murdered. Brother to queen Cersei and Jamie Lannister. Former Hand of the King.Griff (Jon Connington) - Sellsword in service to Ilyrio Mopatis. Lord of Griffin's Roost. Stripped of his titles and exiled by King Aerys for perceived failures during Robert's Rebellion.Young Griff (Aegon Targaryen) - Griff's foster son. Now revealed to be Rhaegar and Elia's son Aegon. Saved from murder in the sack of King's Landing by a Varys switcheroo.Haldon Half-maester - One of Griff's men.Septa Lemore - Septa who trains Young Griff in spiritual matters.Rhoyne River - Greatest river in Essos.

We're talking with historian and journalist Tim Shenk about creating a professional relationship with our writing. In addition to being an assistant professor of history at George Washington University, Tim is a senior editor at Dissent magazine, and has written for the New York Times, the Nation, the New Republic, and Jacobin, among other publications. He is also the author of three books, most recently, Left Adrift: What Happened to Liberal Politics. Tim talks with us about balancing academic and journalistic writing; a typical writing day; how academics come to write op-eds in publications such as the NYT; what it means to shift away from a grad student mentality about writing; why good writing begets more good writing; what an academic can expect from a trade press editor; why academic move back and forth between academic and trade presses for different kinds of projects; and why it's a good idea for academic writers to sometimes curb our inner Norman Mailer.
