Listen to today's Laugh Again with Phil Callaway, "Help! We're Breaking Out in Teenagers." Enjoy!
Amy Schwartz, Chief People Officer at Wiz, joined us on The Modern People Leader. We talked about why HR alone can't create a high-performance culture, why relationships and influence matter more than HR systems, and why "picking up the trash" - a leadership philosophy she picked up working in casinos - has stuck with her ever since.---- Sponsor Links:
"I think a lot of these high performers mistake endurance for strength. And they believe that if they just keep on going, I hear this all the time, "I just got to keep going. " There's restructuring, reorganization, and they just say, "I just need to keep pushing through." And that is endurance, but that's not strength."Burnout isn't always caused by too much work.Sometimes it's caused by becoming someone you were never meant to be.On this season of Personalization Outbreak Podcast, Glenn Llopis shares a thought - conviction isn't a given, it's earned. Earning Conviction kicks off with Dr. Suzan Song—psychiatrist, researcher, and author of Why We Suffer and How We Heal. Dr. Song joins Glenn Llopis to explain:
Most advice about focus sounds simple: give them breaks, reduce distractions, use a timer, etc. But for many kids with ADHD, the real struggle is not "focus" as one big thing. It is the tiny moments inside focus: starting, staying with it, transitioning, managing frustration, and not shutting down halfway through. In this episode of The Soaring Child Podcast, Dana Kay sits down with Dr. Norrine Russell, founder of Russell Coaching for Students and creator of Connected Coaching, to talk about the practical micro-skills behind focus. Dr. Russell explains why telling a child to "just focus" often backfires, and what parents can do instead to support executive functioning in a way that actually helps. Parents will learn how to shrink the starting point, reduce cognitive load, use presence without hovering, support emotional regulation with empathy, and create simple systems like whiteboards and second screens. This conversation is full of practical, doable strategies for helping kids move from stuck and overwhelmed to supported and capable. LINKS MENTIONED IN THE SHOW Russell Coaching: https://russellcoaching.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/russellcoachingllc/ ADHD, Autism, and Anxiety, Breaking Out of the Box podcast Asking the Right Questions Before, During, and After Your Child's ADHD Diagnosis KEY AKEAWAYS [00:00] Most focus advice is too general and misses the specific moments where ADHD kids get stuck. [01:00] Focus is made up of smaller skills, and when one small skill is missing, the whole process can fall apart. [03:07] Dr. Russell explains the executive functioning skills behind focus, including starting, transitioning, sustained attention, impulse control, and emotional regulation. [06:14] Parents can help children begin by shrinking the starting point into one tiny, doable action. [07:59] Support should change with age, moving from direct guidance in younger years to internalized skills in older children. [09:30] Hovering increases stress and does not build self-regulation. [09:59] Parents can support focus by being visible but silent, then gradually moving farther away as the child matures. [12:59] Empathy is often the most helpful tool when a child becomes frustrated or overwhelmed. [16:11] Asking whether a child wants to be heard or helped can prevent over-helping and build problem-solving skills. [17:28] Reducing cognitive load is key, and a large whiteboard can help kids get thoughts, assignments, and goals out of their heads. [20:16] A second screen can reduce working memory demands for students using a laptop. [21:06] Sometimes the missing piece is not another strategy, but more time, support, acceptance, and brain maturation. [23:24] Texting can be a helpful way to communicate with children and teens in a way that gives them space to process and respond. MEMORABLE MOMENTS "Your child isn't struggling with focus sort of in general, they're struggling with very specific moments." "Focus isn't just one skill. It's a series of really small skills stacked together." "The least helpful thing that a parent can do is say something like, just focus, just get started." "Attention is like a muscle." "Shrink the starting point. Shrink the starting point." "Hovering is not helpful. Hovering is not helpful." "So you want to be visible, but silent." "Our number one tool really when our kids are frustrated is empathy." "Right, heard, helped, or hugged." "You can't rush development. You can't rush brain maturation." DANA KAY RESOURCES
In this episode of The Addicted Mind, host Duane Osterlind sits down with author, veteran, and off-grid farmer Robert "Bob" Stark.

Today, Bob celebrates 11 years of clean and sober living on a 40-acre off-grid farm in the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska, where he is learning to balance strength with the gentleness his family deserves. Tune in to hear an inspiring conversation about resilience, the power of putting pen to paper, and the continuous journey of transformation.Key Takeaways & HighlightsThe Reality of Post-Combat Transition: Bob shares the stark contrast of sleeping with a rifle by his side in Iraq to sleeping in his car just two weeks later, highlighting the hyper-vigilance and isolation many veterans face.Breaking Out of the "Man Box": A deep dive into the societal expectations of male stoicism. Bob discusses the challenge of moving away from the "power through it alone" mentality to embrace emotional vulnerability and gentleness as a father.Writing as a Catalyst for Healing: Bob reveals why he is his most honest self when putting pen to paper. He shares how writing his two books allowed him to reframe his life experiences and process deep traumas without finger-pointing or resentment.Manifesting Dreams Off-Grid: From living with candles, oil lanterns, and no refrigeration to building a thriving 40-acre solar-powered farm with his family, Bob talks about the power of vision boards and relentless action.Action Beats Stagnation: Why thriving in recovery requires a willingness to keep trying new therapies, habits, and paths until something finally sticks.Bob's One Piece of Advice: If you are feeling lost or stuck, start with the smallest foundational pieces: look at your lifestyle, your routine, your diet, and your sleep habits.Robert Stark (Bob) is an Army veteran who served four and a half years in the military, including a deployment as a paratrooper during the invasion of Iraq. He is the author of two deeply personal books, War Flower and Just Like a Soldier, which chronicle his experiences with trauma, military life, and long-term recovery.

Some actors play powerful men. Others understand what power actually costs. On this episode of Still Here Hollywood, Steve Kmetko sits down with legendary actor Eric Braeden, the man behind Victor Newman on The Young and the Restless, a role he's defined for more than four decades. But this conversation goes far beyond daytime television. From growing up in post-war Germany, to arriving in America and confronting its contradictions, to working with icons like Marlon Brando and James Cameron, Eric shares a deeply personal and unfiltered look at the life experiences that shaped both the man and the character. He opens up about the brutal demands of soap operas, the psychology behind Victor Newman, the reality of Hollywood, and why acting, at its core, is about truth, discipline, and survival. This is a powerful, honest conversation about legacy, resilience, and what it really means to endure in this business. THIS IS STILL HERE HOLLYWOOD, I'M STEVE KMETKO.

What happens when three of New York City's most accomplished lighting designers sit down to talk about the state of their profession, with the Empire State Building and JP Morgan Tower framed in the window behind them? In this special episode of LytePOD, host Sam Koerbel brings together a powerhouse roundtable of lighting design leaders to unpack the evolution, challenges, and future of architectural lighting. Recorded live in New York City with the iconic skyline as backdrop, this conversation goes deep into what it really means to design light in 2025—and what needs to change. Martin Van Koolbergen (KGM Lighting), Nathalie Faubert (CBB Lighting Desing), Bruce Taylor (Susan Brady Lighting Design) From nurturing new talent to navigating the relentless pace of modern projects, these designers reveal the uncomfortable truths about an industry caught between artistry and data, emotion and efficiency, tradition and trend. They discuss why lighting design is still treated as a luxury rather than a necessity, how LED technology forced the entire profession to evolve, and why the constant demand for meetings and instant gratification is pushing designers to the edge of burnout. This isn't just shop talk—it's a candid examination of what's working, what's broken, and what the next generation needs to carry the profession forward. The conversation touches on everything from the tension between photo-realistic renderings and hand sketches, to why trust is the number one thing clients can offer, to the surprising ways technology both helps and hinders great design.

DayDaDon breaks down why proximity and co-signs matter more than raw talent, whether Boston's community is genuinely supportive or just performative, and the difference between making "fire" music versus "replayable" music.He also reveals why he called out Jo Saza, Novian Wright, Clark D, and SeeFour on wax—and why he's got responses already loaded for anyone who fires back.Time Stamps:0:00 - Barber Shop Stories7:22 - Intro & Guest DayDaDon9:14 - Thanksgiving Food Rankings19:40 - "Letting Go of Yesterday" & Damon Dynamo27:20 - Getting Real Feedback on Your Music32:15 - Breaking Out of Boston: What's The Blueprint?46:30 - DayDaDon's Mindset & Game Plan56:59 - DayDaDon's Thanksgiving Diss Track1:04:17 - Remix Culture & Artist Gatekeeping1:10:04 - Who Should Boston Rally Behind?1:25:48 - Berto's Celtics vs. Lakers Tickets Saga1:37:44 - Closing & Final WordsStream DayDaDon's "Letting Go of Yesterday" and follow him everywhere.Find us at www.BadForTheCommunity.comFollow us: Instagram | Twitter/X | TikTok

Send us a textWelcome back to Ending Physician Overwhelm! As we head into the last week of August 2025 and prepare for back-to-school season, it's time to think about something we do constantly as physicians: learning.The Evolution of Medical LearningYou've been a professional learner your entire career. Medical school, residency, fellowship, boards, CME requirements - you've mastered the art of absorbing information and passing tests. But here's the question that might change everything: Who are you actually learning from?If you're like most of us who trained in the early 2000s, your medical education came primarily from older white men reading the same traditional journals and following conventional pathways. While this wasn't inherently wrong, it created a narrow lens that may no longer serve you - or your patients.Breaking Out of Traditional Learning BoxesAs medicine evolves, so should your sources of knowledge. Whether you're exploring:Obesity medicine (where traditional training left massive gaps)Menopause care (practically non-existent in most curricula thanks to the WHI study fallout)Lifestyle medicine approachesNew practice models that prioritize patient connectionYou need voices that reflect the reality of modern healthcare delivery, not just academic theory.The Current Medical Learning LandscapeHere's what's happening right now that affects how you learn:Traditional resources are under threat: With political forces dismantling institutions like ACIP and creating uncertainty around CDC guidance, you're losing historically reliable sources of information.AI is changing everything: Your residents and students are using AI tools that you may not fully understand, yet you're expected to guide them safely through this new landscape.Diversity of voices matters: The patients you serve come from all backgrounds - shouldn't your teachers reflect that diversity too?Finding Your New Learning PathAsk yourself these critical questions:Who is doing the work the way you want to do it?Are you open to being challenged and learning new approaches?Can you unlearn outdated information that's no longer serving your patients?How will you vet new sources of information in an era of compromised traditional resources?Practical Steps for Better LearningSeek out practitioners who:Are actively treating patients (not just publishing papers)Offer practical, real-world applicationsDiscuss the full picture including costs, side effects, and patient experienceChallenge traditional approaches with evidence-based alternativesConsider learning formats beyond traditional CME:Podcasts from practicing physiciansCourses from specialists doing the workMentorship from independent practitionersBooks and resources from diverse voices in medicineThe Power Support the showTo learn more about my coaching practice and group offerings, head over to www.healthierforgood.com. I help Physicians and Allied Health Professional women to let go of toxic perfectionist and people-pleasing habits that leave them frustrated and exhausted.

Breaking Out of the Herd Are you ready to step out of the herd and be you? In this five-minute quickie, I'm diving into the power of embracing your uniqueness. We all conform at times, but what if living your true self — with kindness, courage, and selfless service — is exactly what the world needs? Inspired by David Goggins' words, this episode is about breaking free from the mould, shaking off imposter syndrome, and showing up as the uncommon person you really are. Because when you do, you don't just change yourself… you inspire others to do the same.
Making the jump from hospital employment to opening your own practice? We've been there, and we know it's terrifying.When we first started talking about leaving our stable salaried hospital jobs to open a ketamine clinic back in 2018, everyone thought we were crazy. And honestly? Some days we wondered if they were right.In this episode, we're sharing the real story behind Reset Ketamine and how Ketamine StartUp came to be. This isn't the polished version you see on LinkedIn - we're talking about the sleepless nights, the family members who didn't understand, the financial fears, and all the messy details that actually go into building something from scratch.We'll walk you through our complete journey: why we left secure hospital positions, how we navigated the skepticism around ketamine therapy when it was still "experimental," the mistakes we made (there were many), and the strategic decisions that actually moved the needle.If you're feeling stuck in traditional employment, curious about what it really takes to open a ketamine practice, or just wondering if entrepreneurship in healthcare is actually possible, this one's for you.Fair warning: we're not holding anything back!What You'll Learn in This Episode:・The Breaking Point: Sam's realization that he was "climbing a ladder against the wrong building" when offered a medical director promotion・The Five Types of Wealth: Why financial wealth alone wasn't enough to justify staying in traditional hospital employment・Social Pressure Paradox: Why colleagues asking "When will you open?" created both motivation and resistance・The Lean Launch Strategy: Starting with only four treatments while maintaining sustainability through minimal overhead・Strategic Risk Management: How they maintained safety nets while taking calculated entrepreneurial risks

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech TrainingIn this episode, Matt Fanslow reflects on the recent passings of two cultural icons—Ozzy Osbourne and Hulk Hogan—and draws parallels between their careers and the automotive aftermarket industry. Both figures revolutionized their respective fields (music and professional wrestling) through innovation, perseverance, and an unparalleled connection with their audiences. Matt explores what we can learn from their legacies, including the importance of passion, reinvention, and recognizing opportunities outside our comfort zones.Key Discussion Points1. Ozzy Osbourne: The Accidental Pioneer of Heavy MetalOzzy's final performance at the Power Trip festival, where he performed in immense pain, skipping pain meds to stay present.How Black Sabbath (with guitarist Tony Iommi) accidentally created metal by downtuning guitars after a workplace injury.The importance of appreciating contributions even if you're not a die-hard fan.The value of knowing how you've impacted others (like Ozzy hearing tributes before his passing).2. Hulk Hogan: The Man Who Made Wrestling MainstreamHogan's physical sacrifices (spinal damage from his signature leg drop) and how wrestling is a work but not fake.His ability to connect with audiences in ways no wrestler had before—comparable to Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock.How Hogan's heel turn (becoming a villain with the NWO) revitalized wrestling during a slump.The role of timing, charisma, and reinvention in long-term success.3. Lessons for the Automotive AftermarketPassion & Perseverance: Like Ozzy and Hogan, success in the aftermarket requires dedication and pushing through challenges.Reinvention: Hogan's shift from hero to villain kept him relevant—how can shops adapt to stay ahead?Breaking Out of Comfort Zones: Both Ozzy and Hogan expanded beyond their core careers (reality TV, movies). How can shops engage in community work, sponsorships, or other visibility-boosting activities?Continuous Improvement: Getting 1% better every day compounds into major growth over time.4. Personal Reflections & Industry ParallelsMatt's admiration for educators like Paul Danner, who revolutionized training accessibility.The importance of finding the right shop culture for growth (just as Hogan thrived under Vince McMahon's WWE expansion).Why awareness of opportunities—both inside and outside the industry—is crucial.Notable Quotes"Ozzy and Hogan didn't just succeed in their fields—they redefined them. That's the kind of impact we should strive for in the aftermarket.""Wrestling isn't fake; it's a performance with real consequences. Same goes for our work—every repair matters.""If you improve by just 0.33% every day, you'll be 100% better in a year. Small steps lead to big changes."While Ozzy and Hogan came from entirely different worlds, their stories remind us that innovation, adaptability, and connection are universal keys to success. Whether you're a technician, shop owner, or industry educator, there's always room to grow—and maybe even revolutionize your corner of the aftermarket.Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech TrainingNAPA Autotech's team of ASE Master Certified Instructors are conducting over 1,200 classes covering 28 automotive topics.

In this episode of the Mining Minds Podcast, we sit down with Trampus Cook, Regional Director for RAM Enterprise Inc., whose journey through the mining world is as rich and layered as the ore bodies he's helped uncover. A fourth-generation miner and cowboy at heart, Trampus takes us through his early days jacklegging in narrow veins of California gold mines, running heavy equipment under Lake Erie, and eventually stepping into leadership with RAM. From growing up between the ropes of cowboy life and the rails of underground shafts, to being a single father raising four young kids while chasing production, Trampus shares raw and emotional insights that go far beyond muck and machines. He opens up about defining moments in fatherhood, building trust and culture in the mining community, and how being told “you're not alone” by a five-year-old became a driving force in his life. Whether you're a miner, a parent, or someone navigating life's challenges, Trampus's story is a powerful reminder of the strength found in grit, purpose, and personal growth.

Protect Donald Trump, Joe Biden, the UNIPARTY and establishment infrastucture from ever having to address or be held accountable for COVID atrocities or the deadly COVID shots.2. Dilute the righteous message of medical freedom activists (using newly minted health celebrities with food obsessions) and deflect AWAY from their core issues of informed consent, bodily autonomy and PHARMA liability.3. Break apart and destroy the true medical freedom movement, which was launched nearly 30 years ago by parents of vaccine injured children and gained massive power with millions of new activists post COVID lockdown.The mainstream and conservative media are getting this all wrong about #MAHA.The headlines are describing a ‘bitter divide' but in reality it is a BREAKING OUT, as the true heroes and advocates of the MEDICAL FREEDOM community utterly reject #MAHA, their brand, their leaders and their fake movement purporting to represent medical freedom interests.It is GLORIOUS to watch.PickAx founder and medical freedom warrior Jeff Dornik joins me today to discuss this and MORE!Join the Rumble LIVE chat and follow my Rumble Page HERE so you never miss an episode: https://rumble.com/c/TheShannonJoyShowSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“I do feel we have an obligation to speak up,” Alexandra Stein, PhD said on this episode of Cult Conversations: The Influence Continuum, “and it's tough for people to resist these systems when there is total silence, and that's what these systems kind of rely on.” Alexandra exited a ten year stint in a left wing political cult when she was 36 years old. Alexandra is a writer and educator specializing in the social psychology of ideological extremism and other dangerous social relationships. Her latest book, Terror, Love, and Brainwashing: Attachment in Cults and Totalitarian Systems, was released as a second edition in 2021. She is also the author of Inside Out: A Memoir of Entering and Breaking Out of a Minneapolis Political Cult. She presented her statement for the Congressional Record for the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol titled Political Cults and the Use of Cultic Tactics in the Recruitment and Mobilization of Participants in the January 6 Attack on the Capitol. Based in the UK, Stein is one of a growing number of ex cult members who have become academics who wish to share their expertise with others. A Fascinating conversation.

In one of my favorite conversations, bestselling author David Epstein joins the podcast to explore how to find your path in life, the problem with 10,000 hours, and why generalists triumph in a specialized world. David and I discuss why sampling different paths before specializing tends to lead to more fulfillment. David explains why feeling "behind" is actually normal for successful people who take non-linear paths, and how "fit looks like grit" when you find something that genuinely connects with your strengths and interests. We then detail how to identify good fits, a practical process for getting good at almost anything, and what helps create a breakthrough moment.
