Paul White teaching from The Garden Church in Irmo, SC. This sermon examines "the most difficult parable," that of the Unjust Steward from Luke 16.

Send us a textHave you ever wondered why some workplaces thrive while others struggle, despite having similar talent and resources? The secret might be hiding in plain sight – it's your culture, and contrary to popular belief, it's not just HR's responsibility.In this eye-opening conversation with Brett Hoogeveen, founder of Better Culture, we dive deep into what truly makes workplace environments flourish from the ground up. Brett challenges the conventional wisdom that culture is something managed exclusively from the top, sharing his revolutionary "20 Tenets of Culture" framework that empowers every single employee to actively shape their workplace experience.You'll discover why "assume positive intent" might be the most transformative mindset shift your team can make, potentially eliminating workplace drama overnight. Brett reveals the surprising truth that "pride" – helping employees feel proud of their company and knowing the company is proud of them – is the metric most strongly correlated with cultural health, yet rarely addressed in leadership programs. For founders scaling their businesses, you'll learn crucial strategies for maintaining your cultural identity beyond your personal influence as you grow.Perhaps most valuable is Brett's insight on coachability: "The people that are most coachable are people that ask for coaching. They don't just consider it, they're always saying, 'Hey, I'm working on this. What do you think?'" This mindset, he explains, is the foundation for success in any endeavor, professional or personal.Whether you're a founder trying to scale without losing your company's soul, a manager working to build a more cohesive team, or an employee wanting to contribute more meaningfully to your workplace, this conversation offers practical wisdom you can implement immediately. Ready to transform your workplace culture? Tune in now, and don't miss Brett's generous free Culture Kickstarter Pack, available at betterculture.com/scalingwithpeople.

In this morning's gospel, Jesus tells the parable of the dishonest steward. The steward, knowing he was about to lose his job, forgave some of the debts of his master. Pastor Jonathan explains that by extending this grace to those who owed debts to his master, the steward not only made life better for them, but he awakened the same grace from the master. The stweard in this parable can be interpreted to be Christ himself, extending grace to us and advocating for us with God. In the same way, we can extend grace and forgiveness to others, and advocate for them in today's contentious world.

Jase calls it a vacation, but it involved a back injury inflicted by Missy's cast iron skillet, wiping out in an ice-cold Colorado stream, and limping through a metal-detecting frenzy that led to a rare 1797 coin discovery. Zach and Al explore Christ's mission to touch the untouchable, heal the broken, and bring life to the desolate.

UCLA's Avishek Adhikari, PhD, presents new research on the role of GABAergic neurons in the brain's periaqueductal gray (PAG) region. Previously studied for their involvement in fear and defensive behaviors, these neurons were found to promote food-seeking behavior when activated—even in fully fed mice. Using calcium imaging and optogenetics, Adhikari's team discovered that these neurons are active during food approach but suppressed during eating. The effect is stronger for high-value foods like chocolate or crickets and depends on the mouse's prior experience with that food. A key finding is that these neurons influence behavior through a specific projection to the zona incerta, a subthalamic region. Rather than signaling hunger, this pathway appears to drive food seeking based on reward value, highlighting a new motivational circuit in the brain.

My passion for exploring how our bodies can facilitate a return to calm and peace takes center stage. I emphasize the importance of integrating bodily sensations into our healing processes rather than merely relying on cognitive techniques, which is a perspective that is gradually gaining traction in the psychological community.I discuss the foundational concepts of somatic psychology and trauma healing, including principles from the polyvagal theory created by Dr. Stephen Porges. This theory is essential in understanding how our nervous systems respond to stimuli and how we can leverage body-focused techniques to signal safety and calm to our brains. By recognizing that our bodies can inform our mental states, we can build resilience and enhance our emotional regulation skills.I refer to key figures in this field, such as Deb Dana, who translates the complexities of polyvagal theory into practical strategies, and Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, whose book "The Body Keeps the Score" highlights how trauma is stored physically and the importance of incorporating movement and breathwork in recovery. Additionally, I touch upon the work of Peter Levine with Somatic Experiencing, illustrating how all these methodologies advocate for engaging the body as a pathway to emotional healing.#AnxietyCoachesPodcast #BottomUpHealing #NervousSystemRegulation #SomaticExperiencing #PolyvagalTheoryApplied #TraumaInformed #MindBodyConnection #CalmYourBody #SelfRegulationSkills #StressManagement #EmotionalFreedom #ResilienceBuilding #DiscomfortTolerance #AngerAsEnergy #BreathworkBenefits #ColdExposureTherapy #MovementAsMedicine #HealingJourney #InnerPeace #GinaRyanPodcast #StephenPorges #DebDana #BesselVanDerKolk #PeterLevine #GaborMate #TheBodyKeepsTheScore #WakingTheTiger #WhenTheBodySaysNo #MythOfNormal #AntiFragility #GinaRyan #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The United States is a failing country. Political leaders at all levels have failed to effectively solve the many crises we face such as the climate crisis, economic insecurity and growing inequality, and the need for affordable housing, education, and health care, and more. Action at the local level, where people have the most control, offers a pathway forward. Clearing the FOG speaks with Michael Shuman, author of A Localism Manifesto, which can be found at The Main Street Journal. Shuman explains how decentralized action works, the principles involved, and how it offers a radical new politics that can heal the current polarization of our society.

Points of Interest0:00 – 1:00 – Introduction to Forecasting Challenges: Marcel and Kristen set the stage by identifying forecasting as a critical but often misunderstood aspect of agency operations, particularly in scaling businesses.1:06 – 2:30 – Defining Forecasting's Importance: They explain how forecasting provides the necessary visibility to manage capacity, revenue, and key metrics, forming the foundation for informed decision-making.2:47 – 3:48 – Forecasting as a Management Function: Marcel discusses how balancing workload and staffing is a core leadership task, becoming more complex and high-stakes as agencies grow in size.5:05 – 6:17 – Bottom-Up Forecasting Explained: Marcel describes the traditional method of forecasting via detailed task-level planning, often used by project managers to allocate resources with precision.6:32 – 7:52 – Limitations of Bottom-Up Approaches: Kristen and Marcel highlight how bottom-up forecasting becomes difficult to scale due to its complexity and sensitivity to frequent changes in scope or staffing.7:59 – 9:39 – Top-Down Forecasting Defined: The conversation shifts to top-down forecasting, which simplifies inputs by modeling at the role or department level, enabling faster, strategic scenario planning.11:00 – 12:20 – Embracing Uncertainty in Leadership Planning: Marcel explains how top-down methods are better suited to leadership conversations, which often require evaluating multiple uncertain scenarios quickly.13:04 – 14:27 – Statistical Logic Behind Simplicity: Marcel introduces the concept of reliability block diagrams, illustrating why less granular systems can actually offer more consistent accuracy over time.17:00 – 17:45 – Precision vs. Accuracy in Uncertain Contexts: The hosts explore how broader, less precise estimates (e.g., ranges) are often more accurate and actionable when future outcomes are unknown.20:31 – 23:01 – Keeping Systems Separate for Efficiency: Marcel warns against tightly coupling bottom-up and top-down systems, advocating for independent but aligned processes to avoid maintenance burdens.26:15 – 27:02 – Material Discrepancies and Process Discipline: They stress that small mismatches between forecasting systems aren't necessarily problems and underscore the importance of scope-driven planning.30:57 – 34:20 – Getting Started with Top-Down Forecasting: The episode closes with advice on how agencies can start building simple top-down models using team capacity and project estimates to guide executive decisions.Show NotesBook a call and learn more about our Forecasting systemLinkedIn Post on Bottom-Up vs Top-Down MathRequest demo videos of our reporting platform

Join Alex and returning guest host Dr. Marc Klippenstine for a personalized discussion on birding, bird-watching, and psychology: The Big Year (2011). The film stars comedy powerhouses Jack Black, Steve Martin, and Owen Wilson, as three men who love birding so much, they all attempt the Audubon Society's "Big Year". Birding is a hobby that relies on bottom-up and top-down processing, cooperation, friendship, and a little bit of intrinsic motivation! But what happens when ambition gets in the way of personal relationships? This question and more are discussed in a wonderful chat about the portrayal of birding in this film from a birder himself! Can you spot all the birds in the film? Want to learn more about East Central University's Psychology Programs?

An episode that doesn't assume the “big picture” first!In Episode 133 of The Autistic Culture Podcast, we begin from the ground up on our journey through the 10 Pillars of Autistic Culture as we start with Pillar 1— Bottom-Up Processing. Here's what defines this cultural trait:* Detail-first thinking: Autistic minds gather information from the ground up, building meaning through sensory input, observed patterns, and logical systems.* Monotropism: We deep-dive into specific interests and tasks, driven by focused curiosity rather than generalized frameworks.* Hyperfocus and complex analysis: These traits allow for immersive attention, precise deduction, and strategic decision-making.* Sensory integration: Proprioception and interoception inform our responses to emotional and social cues with accuracy and nuance.* Nonlinear social fluency: We understand people by noticing behaviors, not by relying on social templates or stereotypes.* SPIN-powered cognition: Special interests are not distractions — they are the engines of learning and innovation.* Autonomy in method: We prefer to figure things out ourselves and follow processes that make logical sense, even when unconventional.* Strategic solitude: Alone time isn't loneliness — it's essential cognitive processing time for autistic thinkers.* Injustice sensitivity: Bottom-up logic often clashes with top-down authority, particularly when systems are unfair or inconsistent.* Visionary pattern recognition: Autistic culture leads in science, logic, and systems design because we see the overlooked details that make up the whole.Autistic people, generally speaking, process information bottom-up. We start with details, anomalies, inconsistencies. We don't assume the “big picture” first—we build it ourselves. This cognitive style clashes in top-down cultures, but fits more comfortably in bottom-up ones. In bottom-up cultures, autistic cognition can be framed as insight. In top-down cultures, it is often framed as insubordination or incompetence.What you're about to hear is a special remastered version of an earlier episode from our archives that keys in on Pillar 1 with a deep dive on another fictional bottom-up processor, the OG, Sherlock Holmes.As you listen to this episode, notice references to bottom-up processing and how that pillar holds up other aspects of Autistic people, for instance, why it makes stimming so important, or small talk so infuriating. Start thinking of the ways these pillars have been weaponized and medicalized. How even Sir Arthur Conan Doyle turns Sherlock into a misanthrope, or Sherlock himself becomes an opium addict, because of the pathologization of his natural culture. As you listen and pay attention to that bottom-up pillar with deeper context, I want you to think of how your internalized ableism has caused you to push back on your own bottom-up processing and instead try seeing where you can lean into it and how that might improve your mental health.So, whether you're autistic, exploring the possibility, or just someone who loves and respects autistic people, you are welcome here.We're saving you a seat!This episode is a part of our Start Here Series, which is designed for new listeners of the show who are wondering, “where should I start?” to have a solid foundation for their experience here. It's also for loyal listeners to begin to more fully embody the pillars of Autistic culture with more clarity and pride.

This episode is all about identifying the right approach to endurance training for different types of athletes. Some people are genetically predisposed to strength and power, while others are built for stamina. While most of us fall somewhere on a spectrum between the two, knowing your athlete archetype can help you determine your optimal approach to training. This episode is built on Drew's blog post from a month ago, so if you need some written examples of what we discuss you can refer to that.Some key topics we address:Strength and power adaptations are largely neurological, while endurance adaptations are largely physiological. As a result, intensity is the key training variable for strength and power, while volume if the key to endurance.We return to a frequent topic on this podcast, which is the energy systems model routinely found in strength and conditioning education classes.Zone 2, who it's appropriate for, and when. Alternate cardio modalities (like biking, rowing, and swimming) and how they fit into training when the primary focus is often running.The classic "training residuals" chart that appears in so many textbooks, and just a few of the reasons it's probably not accurate for most people.
