Apply to Become a 1-on-1 Patient DianeKazer.com/PATIENT All Yeptide Resources DianeKazer.com/YEPTIDES Join Our Elite VIP Tribe DianeKazer.com/VIP This is Part 3 of our deep dive into what's REALLY happening with your hormones, and today, we're connecting ALL the dots. In Part 1, we exposed the world of xenoestrogens and environmental toxins and explored how endocrine-disrupting exposures may interfere with hormone signaling and potentially contribute to problems far beyond estrogen alone - from reproductive development and fertility to metabolic and hormone-related health concerns. Then we went deeper into low testosterone, changing hormones and what happens downstream when these systems get disrupted. But there's a much bigger question: How do you know what's actually happening inside YOUR body? Because I'm sick of this idea that we go to our doctor once a year, get a basic blood panel, hear "everything looks normal," and check the HEALTHY ✅ box for another 12 months. Or something is abnormal, we get a prescription to change the number...and somehow that's called "fixing the problem". Or a scan - an MRI, CT, mammogram or ultrasound—finds something unusual and we're told, "Let's just keep an eye on it." But what if that finding is your body waving a flag that something deeper is happening beneath the surface, below the tip of the iceberg? Your MD absolutely has a place on your healthcare team. But I believe you deserve another layer: an annual root-causation health investigation that doesn't stop at "Are you sick enough yet to diagnose?" I want to know: WHY is that marker changing? What is driving it? What are your hormones actually doing? What's happening in your gut? What are you being exposed to? And most importantly - are the things we're doing actually moving your health in the right direction? And that's exactly what we're showing you in Part 3.

What happens when a “crazy idea” becomes the tool that changes how an entire industry works? Buckle up—we're talking reality capture with Juergen Mayer, Head of Reality Capture Portfolio at Leica Geosystems! From his roots in rural Austria to helping bring the BLK360, BLK2GO, RTC360, and new RTC series to market, Juergen brings a perspective shaped by surveying, business, and a passion for building things that solve real problems. We explore connected field-to-office workflows, LiveLink, catching coverage gaps before crews leave the site, and what firms should measure to see whether their technology investment is actually paying off. And because this is The Geoholics, we ask the tough questions: Does easier scanning mean better data? Where does professional judgment fit as AI and automation advance? And can real-time visibility improve collaboration without turning into micromanagement? We close with Bullsh*t, Breakthrough, or Too Soon to Tell?—putting AI-driven field checks, the future of terrestrial scanners, and the risks of impressive-looking point clouds in the hot seat. Billy Joel's “You May Be Right” sets the tone, and our Leica Weekly Pro Tip delivers a reminder every crew can use: Capture once. Verify early. Keep the project moving. Big thanks to EMLID, TopoDOT, AllTerra Central, Leica Geosystems, David Evans and Associates, and Diamondback Land Surveying for keeping the conversations rolling!

The Founderz Lounge Episode #105 with Don Varady and Steve Bon.What would a franchisor with 100+ units do if he had to start a franchise from scratch today?In this episode, Steve puts Don through a full reset of Clean Eatz and asks what he would keep, what he would change, and what he would never do again after more than a decade of building and scaling a franchise brand.Don breaks down why he would invest in operations earlier, why product still comes before identity and team, why communication matters more than most operators realize, and why a skilled franchise attorney is non-negotiable from day one.They also get into starting with almost no money, choosing the right leadership hires, avoiding bad consultants, growing too fast, and the lesson Don would give himself if he could go back to the beginning: take your damn time.If you are a founder, franchisor, business owner, or entrepreneur thinking about starting a franchise, scaling a franchise business, or building stronger operations from the start, this episode is packed with hard-earned lessons from someone who has already made the mistakes.Come for the banter.

Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* The billable hour was introduced by the insurance industry in the late 1960s and early 1970s, replacing the value-based and flat fee model lawyers had used for over a thousand years, and it created perverse incentives that harm lawyers, clients, and the profession.* RJon Robins' company, How to Manage a Small Law Firm, provides fractional C-suite services to over 500 small law firms on a subscription retainer basis, generating roughly $3.5 million per month in recurring revenue and proving the subscription model works at scale.* The billable hour disincentivizes efficiency, collaboration, and collegiality among lawyers by rewarding inefficiency and turning attorneys and their clients into adversaries rather than trusted counselors.* Many lawyers leave mid-size and large firms due to discrimination and start their own practices where they can build businesses on their own terms, often ditching the billable hour for value-based or subscription billing.* AI should be treated like a brilliant but inexperienced junior associate who is great for grunt work and spotting trends, but lawyers must apply their own wisdom and judgment rather than abdicating strategic and values-based decisions to AI.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

The Founderz Lounge Episode #104 with Don Varady and Steve Bon.When does the founder become the bottleneck holding the business back?In this episode, Don and Steve break down the warning signs that show up when founder leadership turns into control, micromanagement, and too many decisions running through one person.They get into why every important decision needing your approval is a red flag, how “nobody can do it like I can” slows growth, and why founders have to learn the difference between staying involved and refusing to let go.Don and Steve also talk delegation, teaching your team how to think critically, empowering leaders to make decisions, and the ego that can make founders hold onto control long after the business has outgrown it.If you are a founder or business owner trying to scale a business, build stronger leadership, improve business systems, or figure out whether you are the one slowing growth down, this episode is for you.Come for the banter.

Move.” ~Steve Bon• At some point, founders have to let other people hold the “brand baby” and learn how to lead without controlling everything. ~Don VaradyConnect with Don and Steve…Don Varady:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/don.varady/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/donvarady/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/don-varady-450896145 Steve Bon:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephenbon Instagram: https://instagram.com/stevebon8 Tune in to every episode on your favorite platform: Website: https://www.thefounderzlounge.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFounderzLounge Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Nurr4XjBE747qJ9Zjth0G Apple Music: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-founderz-lounge/id1461825349 The Founderz Lounge is Powered By:Clean Eatz:Website: https://cleaneatz.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CleanEatzLife/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cleaneatzlife/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJRGrE-Xv4IMW_DbxSOTGGA Bon's Eye Marketing:Website: https://bonseyeonline.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bonseyemarketing Instagram: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bon's-eye-marketing/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bon's-eye-marketing/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bonseyemarketing9477

An action packed episode of BTP sees Dave host a game full of shenanigans with returning guest and brother, Tom Wortz, teaming up with Luks against the Benchwarmer team of Scott and Snyder. Scott shares his basketball stat line, Snyder is full of non-sequiturs, Tom needs some rules, and Luks is just old. The boys have some MVP fun, get a little theatrical in halftime, and end on some of the most random questions Dave can drum up. We like to believe that Tom said it best: "I didn't think there would be BS on question 2!" Well, guess what?

The Founderz Lounge Episode #103 with Don Varady and Steve Bon.Do you really need a CEO, or are you hiring the title because it feels like the next step?In this episode, Don and Steve break down executive leadership through the lens of founders who have actually made the hires, gotten some right, and learned from the ones that did not work.Don shares why Clean Eatz hired a CMO before the brand was ready, what went wrong with a later CEO hire, and why experience on paper does not automatically mean someone will fit your culture or leadership team.They get into when to hire C-suite leadership, why founders should hire slow and vet beyond the highlight reel, how to build trust with new executives, and when a strong Director of Operations may be more valuable than jumping straight to a CEO.They also talk about delegation, staying connected to legal, finance, and growth, and the balance every founder eventually has to figure out: giving leaders enough room to run the business without completely losing touch with it.If you are a founder or business owner building an executive leadership team, scaling a company, or trying to get out of the day-to-day without losing the culture you built, this episode is for you.Come for the banter.

What does a publicist actually do for a restaurant? Can PR help win a MICHELIN star or James Beard Award? Do follower counts really matter? And when everyone with an Instagram account calls themselves an influencer, who actually moves the needle?I sit down with Miami's Larry Carrino, president of Brustman Carrino Public Relations, for a candid, funny and occasionally expletive-filled look behind the curtain of hospitality PR.Larry has spent more than 30 years in the business, working with restaurants, chefs, hotels and major events, including 18 years with the South Beach Wine & Food Festival. We talk about the relationships behind great PR, earned versus paid media, influencers versus real-world influence, impossible client expectations, crisis management and why no publicist can manufacture an award your restaurant hasn't earned.We also get into Miami's obsession with imported restaurant brands, why the places that actually belong to this city deserve more attention and, naturally, why your New York friends need to stop flying to Miami just to eat at Carbone. Grab a glass of wine.

So many claims, so many counter-claims, so many sales pitches, so much information and misinformation, so much emotion and pseudoscience, but what is real and what is not? While this episode is not the “gospel of peptides” according to Saint Jeff, it is an interesting and educated conversation with a medical Doctor (and Neurosurgeon) who currently works at the coalface of integrative medicine. As I say on repeat, our chat is not a personal recommendation or prescription, it’s a thoughtful exploration into a topic that’s getting lots of attention for all the right and wrong reasons. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 287 asks the question every surveyor should be thinking about: Will artificial intelligence replace the land surveyor—or reinvent the profession? The guys are joined by Aaron Michalenko, owner of DBE Surveying, and Willis Long, Head of Survey Operations and Senior Director, for a no-BS conversation about where AI is already creating value and where the hype gets ahead of reality. They explore point-cloud processing, feature extraction, drafting, boundary research, QA/QC, workforce development, data security, and the skills tomorrow's geospatial professionals will need to remain relevant. The conversation gets especially real when AI meets boundary surveying. An algorithm may calculate where a corner could be, but can it determine where that corner legally is? Can it evaluate monuments, occupation, historical evidence, and intent and then accept responsibility when the answer is wrong? The crew also tackles whether AI will eliminate traditional field crews, replace manual drafting, solve the workforce shortage, or make professional licensure even more important. The takeaway is clear: the tools will change, the workflows will evolve, and the volume of data will explode, but the surveyor's responsibility to verify the evidence, exercise professional judgment, and protect the public remains firmly intact. Buckle up for another round of “Bullsh*t, Breakthrough, or Too Soon to Tell,” a Leica Geosystems Pro Tip, and Rise Against's “Savior” as the Song of the Week. The future does not belong to surveyors who blindly reject AI—or blindly trust it. It belongs to the professionals who understand it, question it, verify it, and know when the human surveyor must remain in control.

The Founderz Lounge Episode #102 with Don Varady and Steve Bon.When should you build an in-house marketing team, and when does it make more sense to hire an agency?Don and Steve break down the real tradeoffs between internal marketing and outsourced marketing, including cost, brand knowledge, creative quality, speed, accountability, and what changes as a business grows.Don shares how Clean Eatz used Bon's Eye Marketing before the brand could afford a full internal marketing department, then gradually built more capabilities in-house. They also dig into agency retainers, marketing salaries, content production costs, brand strategy, paid advertising, marketing ROI, and why marketing should not be blamed for every revenue problem.For founders, operators, and business owners trying to scale a brand without wasting money or building the wrong team too early, this is a practical look at how marketing structure should evolve with the business.Come for the banter. Leave thinking more like a founder.Timestamps:[00:00] Trailer[01:35] In-House vs Agency[03:26] When Outsourcing Makes Sense[06:13] Why Local Agencies Matter[13:26] Building the Internal Team[17:46] Who Knows the Brand Better?[19:18] Creative Quality vs Speed[22:20] Agency Cost vs In-House[26:17] Marketing vs Sales[29:09] The $500K Marketing Challenge[36:22] Internal vs Agency Lightning Round[40:00] Final ThoughtsKey Takeaways:• “Is an agency actually cheaper, or does it just feel that way because you're paying a retainer?” ~Don Varady• You do not need to hire 10 people on day one. The right agency can help build the brand early, then evolve as the internal team grows. ~Steve Bon• Good content is expensive. Talent, cameras, equipment, editing, and production all add up fast when a young brand tries to build everything internally. ~Don Varady• Not every piece of content needs to be fast. If one great brand video helps sell franchises, quality matters more than a three-day turnaround. ~Steve Bon• “Driving revenue isn't marketing's only job.” ~Don Varady• Marketers have a trust problem. Like used car salesmen, they have to prove they are not just the next person making promises. ~Steve Bon• A $10,000 agency retainer can sound expensive until you compare it to the cost of hiring an entire internal marketing team. ~Don Varady• Creative turnover costs more than a salary. When someone leaves, part of the brand knowledge and creative rhythm leaves with them. ~Don VaradyConnect with Don and Steve…Don Varady:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/don.varady/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/donvarady/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/don-varady-450896145 Steve Bon:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephenbon Instagram: https://instagram.com/stevebon8 Tune in to every episode on your favorite platform: Website: https://www.thefounderzlounge.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFounderzLounge Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Nurr4XjBE747qJ9Zjth0G Apple Music: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-founderz-lounge/id1461825349 The Founderz Lounge is Powered By:Clean Eatz:Website: https://cleaneatz.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CleanEatzLife/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cleaneatzlife/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJRGrE-Xv4IMW_DbxSOTGGA Bon's Eye Marketing:Website: https://bonseyeonline.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bonseyemarketing Instagram: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bon's-eye-marketing/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bon's-eye-marketing/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bonseyemarketing9477  

Jeffrey's story is wild... Abused by ten, homeless by twelve, twenty years in and out of boys' homes and prison, and eventually part of a notorious Australian bank robbery crew, Jeffrey's life could very easily have ended up looking very different to what is does today. But somewhere along the way he started questioning the life he'd normalised, the people around him, his own identity, and the behaviours he'd come to see as just 'how life is.' We got into what it actually takes to change when your old identity keeps pulling you back, why he had to drop his pride and ego and even delete relationships, and how he learned to turn some of the traits that once made him a bloody good criminal into traits that now make him a successful businessman. We also got into culture, emotional regulation, nervous system chaos, the power of having good role models, and his grandmother's question that stuck with him for years: "Do you reckon this is culture?" There's a lot in this one about not accepting your current life just because you've become accustomed to it. Because as Jeffrey says, if you want something different, at some point you've got to stop waiting for someone else to change it and start doing the work yourself.

Trucking says young people don't want to drive trucks. BULLSH*T. They're showing up. The real question is why we keep losing them.... With driver turnover still hammering parts of the industry, trucking keeps searching for the next generation while arguing about recruiting, CDL training, driver pay and a supposed lack of young people willing to work. What if the pipeline isn't actually the biggest problem? What if it's what happens AFTER they enter it? On this episode of Brake Check, Charles sits down with Lindsey Trent, President and Co-Founder of Next Generation in Trucking, and Tim Crawford, Co-Founder and CEO of Tenstreet, to dig into what it will actually take to recruit ... and KEEP .... trucking's next generation. We break down young truck drivers, Gen Z in trucking, CDL training, Workforce Pell, high-school CDL programs, apprenticeships, driver recruiting, onboarding, mentorship, home time and driver retention. Can small trucking companies realistically build relationships with high schools and CDL programs? Who pays the training bill? What happens to 18-to-20-year-old CDL holders who can't run interstate? What does the next generation actually expect from a carrier? And are fleets building careers young people want — or just feeding more drivers into the same turnover machine? Then we turn to the technology side. Tenstreet CEO Tim Crawford joins us to discuss small-fleet technology, carrier verification, fraud prevention, compliance, broker trust and Driver Pulse Fleet — including why legitimate carriers increasingly feel like they're being treated as guilty until proven innocent and what small fleets can do to better prove who they are. We also tackle one uncomfortable question trucking can't avoid:If changing jobs can cost a driver thousands of dollars and they're STILL willing to pay it just to leave your company...what does that say about YOU? The next generation isn't some future trucking problem. THEY'RE ALREADY HERE. Now trucking has to give them a reason to stay. #Trucking #TruckDrivers #GenZ #CDL #CDLTraining #DriverRecruiting #DriverRetention #OwnerOperator #TruckingIndustry #Freight ⁠Follow the Brake Check Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

The Founderz Lounge Episode #101 with Don Varady and Steve Bon.What would you do if you had $500,000 to fix a struggling franchise?Don gives Steve a hypothetical 30-unit restaurant brand called “Taters” and forces him to make the hard calls. Do you pause franchise sales? Spend on operations or marketing? Fix unit economics or the brand experience? And at what point is the founder no longer the right CEO?The twist is that most of the scenario comes straight from Clean Eatz and the growing pains Don actually lived through. They break down the decisions that helped the brand regain trust, improve communication, simplify the experience, strengthen local store marketing, and keep growing without ignoring the problems underneath.This one is a real franchise turnaround conversation about founder leadership, franchise growth, operations, branding, unit economics, and where the money actually matters when a business starts showing cracks.Come for the banter.

The bigger question is whether they are still committed, capable, and willing to fix what is broken. ~Steve Bon• Local store marketing works best when franchisees understand it is part of their role, not an optional extra. ~Steve Bon• Simplifying the menu and the customer experience can make training easier, operations stronger, and the brand more consistent. ~Don Varady• Growth gets dangerous when franchisees start believing the company cares more about selling new units than helping existing ones succeed. ~Don VaradyConnect with Don and Steve…Don Varady:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/don.varady/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/donvarady/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/don-varady-450896145 Steve Bon:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephenbon Instagram: https://instagram.com/stevebon8 Tune in to every episode on your favorite platform: Website: https://www.thefounderzlounge.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFounderzLounge Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Nurr4XjBE747qJ9Zjth0G Apple Music: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-founderz-lounge/id1461825349 The Founderz Lounge is Powered By:Clean Eatz:Website: https://cleaneatz.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CleanEatzLife/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cleaneatzlife/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJRGrE-Xv4IMW_DbxSOTGGA Bon's Eye Marketing:Website: https://bonseyeonline.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bonseyemarketing Instagram: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bon's-eye-marketing/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bon's-eye-marketing/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bonseyemarketing9477  

Join Cy & Tessa as they talk all about professionalism. What it means to them and how to cultivate a professional environment for your peace. They were inspired by this quote from the actor Keri Russell published by Variety:  “As you get older, you just want to work with nice — maybe ‘nice' is not the right word,” Russell observes. “Stable. Professional. I don't need any new best friends. I have great friends. I have a partner. But I just don't want to put up with people's bullshit anymore. Figure that shit out. Go do that on your own time. Don't bring it to work. I just want to work with professionals.” - Keri Russell Researchers call difficult people at work hasslers. Hasslers not only cause harm to the work environment but also to the health and wellbeing of other employees.  In a world of hasslers, be a Tessa. Be a Cy. And find your peace through the sh*t storm.  Source for “hasslers” can be found here

The Founderz Lounge Episode #100 with Don Varady and Steve Bon.For the 100th episode of The Founderz Lounge, Don and Steve look back at the founder truths, business lessons, mistakes, and hard-earned realities that keep showing up when you are actually building something real.They get into imposter syndrome, why work-life balance is mostly bullshit, starting before you feel ready, partnership expectations, toxic employees, founder bottlenecks, burnout, revenue versus real profit, worrying about competitors, and why AI should never replace human judgment.This episode is less about celebrating a number and more about the lessons that took years of entrepreneurship, business ownership, leadership, franchising, mistakes, and real-world experience to learn.If you are a founder, business owner, operator, franchisor, entrepreneur, or someone trying to build and lead with a stronger founder mindset, this one is packed with lessons you can use without having to learn every one of them the hard way.Come for the banter.

No one. No matter how much they say they do, no one knows. So if you have this idea or something that you wanna start, start.” ~Don Varady• “Partnerships fail because expectations weren't discussed. Been there. Still there.” ~Don Varady• A business can look like it is printing money on paper while the owners themselves are not actually making money. ~Steve Bon• Overusing AI for basic communication can strip away the human voice and judgment that still matter in business. ~Steve Bon• Founder burnout becomes a real problem when the business you are building starts taking over the life you were trying to build in the first place. ~Steve BonConnect with Don and Steve…Don Varady:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/don.varady/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/donvarady/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/don-varady-450896145 Steve Bon:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephenbon Instagram: https://instagram.com/stevebon8 Tune in to every episode on your favorite platform: Website: https://www.thefounderzlounge.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFounderzLounge Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Nurr4XjBE747qJ9Zjth0G Apple Music: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-founderz-lounge/id1461825349 The Founderz Lounge is Powered By:Clean Eatz:Website: https://cleaneatz.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CleanEatzLife/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cleaneatzlife/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJRGrE-Xv4IMW_DbxSOTGGA Bon's Eye Marketing:Website: https://bonseyeonline.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bonseyemarketing Instagram: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bon's-eye-marketing/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bon's-eye-marketing/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bonseyemarketing9477

Michelangelo didn't wake up one morning wanting to spend four years painting a ceiling. He was a sculptor. But the Pope had a ceiling, and the Pope had money.In this bonus episode, Troy Cartwright reads an essay about an artist named Aaron Reese, who bought a newsstand at 39th and 4th in New York City to sell his ceramics — and about the uncomfortable, ancient intersection of art and commerce that every working artist has had to figure out.There was never an Eden where artists made exactly what they wanted and everybody showed up. Aaron Reese has an old newsstand. Michelangelo had a pope.

The Founderz Lounge Episode #99 with Don Varady and Steve Bon.In this Business & Bullsh*t episode, Don and Steve break down the weird, funny, and surprisingly useful business lessons hiding in marketing, consumer behavior, AI, and old-school advertising that somehow still exists.They talk McDonald's clear McValue bag for baseball games, the shift away from “sex sells” advertising, cemetery rent, Cheez-It and Coors Light's beer cheese cracker collab, and why AI-generated ideas can sound smart while missing the real-world context businesses actually need.Then Steve brings in a real phone book in 2026 and asks the obvious question: why the hell are we still printing these things?Come for the banter.

It is part of the customer experience. ~Don Varady• Advertising is shifting from “get their attention” to “show them you get them.” ~Steve Bon• Sex sells is losing power as brands lean more into self-awareness, humor, and audience vulnerability. ~Steve Bon• The “vampire effect” happens when the attention-grabbing part of an ad steals attention from the actual brand. ~Steve Bon• AI can make ideas sound better, but that does not mean they fit the business, brand, or real-world execution. ~Steve Bon• AI-generated contracts and strategies still need human judgment because they may not match the company's policies, systems, or reality. ~Don Varady• Phone books in 2026 are a reminder that outdated business models can keep running long after customers stop caring. ~Steve BonConnect with Don and Steve…Don Varady:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/don.varady/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/donvarady/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/don-varady-450896145 Steve Bon:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephenbon Instagram: https://instagram.com/stevebon8 Tune in to every episode on your favorite platform: Website: https://www.thefounderzlounge.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFounderzLounge Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Nurr4XjBE747qJ9Zjth0G Apple Music: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-founderz-lounge/id1461825349 The Founderz Lounge is Powered By:Clean Eatz:Website: https://cleaneatz.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CleanEatzLife/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cleaneatzlife/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJRGrE-Xv4IMW_DbxSOTGGA Bon's Eye Marketing:Website: https://bonseyeonline.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bonseyemarketing Instagram: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bon's-eye-marketing/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bon's-eye-marketing/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bonseyemarketing9477

In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by super producer A-King, journalist Jayson Rodriguez, and headline king Jason “Jah” Lee for a wide-ranging conversation covering politics, media, race, culture, sports, and celebrity discourse. After Mandii previews the episode’s agenda [ 00:38 ], the crew checks in and introduces the producers [ 02:48 ] before examining how social media algorithms and comment sections increasingly determine what information people see, believe, and engage with [ 06:47 ]. A hilarious detour into gut health, relationships, and couples getting way too comfortable with bathroom habits follows [ 10:14 ], before A-King raises concerns about the lack of urgency surrounding the upcoming midterm elections, questioning why political optics and viral conversations often receive more attention than policy, voting, and civic engagement [ 15:32 ]. The crew continues by asking whether the public is truly prepared for the midterms—or simply waiting until election season becomes another trending topic [ 24:02 ]. In “This Is America,” the conversation returns to the Nolan Wells case as the hosts review newly cleaned-up emergency audio prepared by sound engineer Jeanetta Brantley [ 25:34 ]. The recording sparks questions about the use of artificial intelligence and audio enhancement in investigations, with the crew debating when technological tools provide clarity and when skepticism is warranted [ 27:11 ], before examining what they believe can actually be heard in the enhanced clip [ 30:00 ]. The discussion expands to reports of potential defamation litigation [ 31:18 ], the purpose of preservation letters and protecting evidence during legal disputes [ 33:25 ], and concerns raised about missing organs following the autopsy [ 34:24 ]. As media personalities weigh in on the developing story [ 35:19 ], the hosts debate the rise of political grifters, outrage-driven media, and booking controversial personalities simply to manufacture debate [ 37:04 ]. That leads to a nuanced conversation surrounding Candace Owens [ 38:04 ] and Mandii’s own experiences with online controversy and public backlash [ 39:12 ]. The episode then turns to Tuskegee University’s new student etiquette and dress-code policies, including restrictions surrounding bonnets and durags, sparking a passionate debate over professionalism, Black cultural expression, and institutional standards [ 42:57 ]. The crew puts their perspectives to the test with an “Are We Aligned?” vote [ 44:15 ], before unpacking respectability politics and the tension between personal freedom and expectations placed on Black students [ 46:31 ]. They question whether traditional ideas of respectability actually reflect real-world professionalism [ 51:03 ], examine the racial and cultural biases attached to durags and bonnets [ 53:20 ], and debate how much authority HBCUs should have over student appearance and individual expression [ 56:29 ]. The conversation shifts back to activism as the crew discusses allegations that Colin Kaepernick stopped communicating with activist Mysonne, using the situation to examine the realities of organizing, movement-building, celebrity activism, and what happens when public alliances fracture behind the scenes [ 01:03:33 ]. Sports takes over briefly with reactions to LeBron James joining Philadelphia [ 01:15:18 ] and growing excitement surrounding the upcoming NBA season [ 01:19:20 ]. From there, the hosts tackle Michael Porter Jr.’s comments about women who travel, questioning whether frequent travel should really be considered a dating red flag [ 01:21:25 ] and pushing back on the idea that women traveling for experiences automatically signals something negative about their character [01:22:31 ]. Closing out the episode, the crew reacts to Nara Smith rejecting the “tradwife” label following her appearance on Call Her Daddy [ 01:32:04 ], sparking a larger debate about traditional gender roles, influencer branding, public perception, and whether online personalities can distance themselves from identities that helped build their audiences. That conversation evolves into a spirited discussion about grifting, rebranding, authenticity, and the difference between how creators define themselves versus how the public interprets their content [ 01:38:15 ]. The episode concludes with final thoughts and credits [ 01:50:00 ], wrapping another Selective Ignorance conversation that challenges listeners to look beyond viral headlines and consider how politics, algorithms, identity, activism, and internet culture shape what we believe and how we engage with the world around us.

Step into a deeply insightful, expansive, woman-to woman conversation with Melissa Nanavati, TEDx speaker, dating and relationship coach for high performers, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Melissa's work bridges neuroscience, attachment theory, behavioral psychology, and lived experience to help ambitious individuals create thriving relationships without sacrificing their biggest goals and dreams. With warmth, intelligence, and refreshing honesty, Melissa shares the deeply personal journey that shaped her work — from navigating anxious attachment and enduring more than 100 first dates, to ultimately finding the extraordinary partnership she once wondered if she would ever experience. Melissa opens up about reaching a point in her dating journey where discouragement could have easily become cynicism. Instead, she transformed every date into an opportunity for growth, using each interaction to develop communication skills, deepen self-awareness, and clarify the values that truly mattered most in a life partner. What began as a search for love became a journey of becoming the person capable of receiving it. The conversation moves into the neuroscience of attachment, emotional regulation, and the hidden fears that shape our relationships long before we realize they are there. Melissa vulnerably shares how anxious attachment and a deep fear of abandonment continued to influence her relationships until she encountered a transformative neurofeedback experience through 40 Years of Zen. During an intensive retreat working directly with brainwave states and neuroplasticity, Melissa experienced a profound vision of the life and partnership she desired. That experience inspired her to leave behind the familiar, trust an intuitive knowing she could not explain, and move across the country to a city she felt inexplicably called toward. Within weeks of arriving, she met the man who would become her husband. Together, Allana and Melissa explore the beautiful intersection between science and intuition, action and surrender, strategy and serendipity. They discuss the reality that manifestation is not passive wishing, but a partnership between inner alignment and courageous action. The conversation also dives deeply into the difference between chemistry and compatibility, challenging the common belief that love should feel immediate and explosive from the beginning. Melissa shares how the relationship with her husband developed not through instant sparks, but through shared values, emotional safety, vulnerability, and intentional connection. Sometimes the healthiest love stories do not begin with fireworks. Sometimes they begin with trust. She introduces the concept of the four forms of relational courage: The courage to be vulnerable. The courage to ask for what you need. The courage to ask what your partner needs. And the courage to bring difficult conversations into the light. The conversation beautifully explores how unresolved fears often hide beneath conflict, and how learning to identify the emotions we are avoiding can transform our relationships from places of protection into places of connection. Melissa also shares the communication frameworks she and her husband use to maintain emotional safety, resolve conflict quickly, and prevent resentment from accumulating over time. Their commitment to never allowing issues to fester has become one of the foundations of their thriving partnership. Together, Allana and Melissa discuss how love is less about finding the perfect person and more about creating intentional rituals, emotional safety, curiosity, play, and repair. We also talk about: The neuroscience of love and connection The role of neuroplasticity in relational healing 40 Years of Zen and transformational brain training The balance between intuition and strategy in dating Why chemistry can sometimes be misleading How values predict long-term compatibility Dating as a skill-building process rather than a judgment process How to communicate needs effectively Building emotional safety in relationships Repairing conflict before resentment grows The power of rituals, play, and curiosity in long-term partnerships Receiving feedback without defensiveness This episode is a reminder that healthy love is not something we stumble into accidentally. It is something we build intentionally through courage, communication, vulnerability, and presence. Love is not the absence of hard conversations. Love is creating the safety to have them. And sometimes the relationship you are searching for begins not with finding the right person, but by becoming the version of yourself who no longer abandons your own needs, values, and truth.

The Hiring Crisis, TikTok Training and Gen Z Perfectionism. PLUS How to Keep Quiet Teams Motivated Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning workplace podcast where behavioural science meets workplace culture, brought to you by the HubSpot Podcast Network. In this episode of This Week in Work, business owner Al Elliott and Chartered Occupational Psychologist Leanne Elliott break down why fewer than half of recruitment processes actually succeed, why TikTok-style L&D might be sabotaging employee memory, and how economic pressure is driving an epidemic of Gen-Z perfectionism. Plus, in Truth or Lie, we test the psychological myth: Can you bullshit a bullshitter?

Step into a down to earth, real-life conversation with Jenna and Brad Ballard, visionary leaders, conscious partners, and co-founders of Ascension Leadership Academy, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Together, they share a powerful love story rooted in resilience, embodiment, and choosing growth over comfort. Jenna opens up about her near-death accident at seventeen, a coma that became a profound awakening, and how reclaiming the words "I am" reshaped her identity, health, and purpose. From navigating diabetes, trauma, and self-worth, to becoming a celebrity trainer, transformational coach, artist and creator, her journey reveals the power of perseverance and self-belief. Brad shares his own awakening, moving from corporate success that left him empty to choosing passion, joy, and purpose. He reflects on recognizing misery as a signal, learning to slow down, and committing to a life where fulfillment, play, and integrity lead the way. There was an exquisite balance of fun talking about fast cars with Brad and delighting in Jenna's extraordinary voice, mixed with vulnerability as they revealed how their relationship was built slowly and consciously, through consistency, communication, and patience. From texting for months before meeting, to navigating parenthood, business partnership, health crises, near-divorce moments, and recommitting to intimacy, they model what it looks like to be two whole people choosing each other again and again. We also talk about: Turning trauma and hardship into purpose Building love from wholeness, not need Conscious communication and love languages Masculine and feminine balance in partnership Navigating marriage, business, and parenting together Radical self-responsibility and nervous system awareness Slowing down to deepen intimacy and sexuality Creativity, music, and authentic self-expression Choosing growth, joy, and alignment over survival This episode is a reminder that love thrives when we take ownership of our inner world, listen to the body, and choose presence over performance. Jenna and Brad's story shows that when two people commit to becoming their truest selves, partnership becomes a place of expansion, play, and devotion.

This is not a cleanse. There is no juice. Nothing is being detoxed. Nobody is selling you anything.This is just an honest conversation about what happens to your body when you've been eating highly processed food,drinking more than usual, and generally running on garbage for a while — AND how to start feeling like a human again.This episode is about recognizing whenyou're in that cycle, understanding why it's so hard to break, and what eating better — not less, better — actually looks like to get yourself back to baseline.We cover: - The signs your body is telling you it needs a reset (even if you've been ignoring them)- Why highly palatable food hijacks your hunger signals and makes real food sound terrible - Why this has nothing to do with eating less and everything to do with eating better - What actually eating better looks like — protein, produce, cooking, no liquid garbage - How long it takes before you start feeling like yourself againNo protocol. No program. Just what it looks like to feed your body like you respect yourself.

Step into a deeply insightful, expansive, woman-to woman conversation with Melissa Nanavati, TEDx speaker, dating and relationship coach for high performers, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Melissa's work bridges neuroscience, attachment theory, behavioral psychology, and lived experience to help ambitious individuals create thriving relationships without sacrificing their biggest goals and dreams. With warmth, intelligence, and refreshing honesty, Melissa shares the deeply personal journey that shaped her work — from navigating anxious attachment and enduring more than 100 first dates, to ultimately finding the extraordinary partnership she once wondered if she would ever experience. Melissa opens up about reaching a point in her dating journey where discouragement could have easily become cynicism. Instead, she transformed every date into an opportunity for growth, using each interaction to develop communication skills, deepen self-awareness, and clarify the values that truly mattered most in a life partner. What began as a search for love became a journey of becoming the person capable of receiving it. The conversation moves into the neuroscience of attachment, emotional regulation, and the hidden fears that shape our relationships long before we realize they are there. Melissa vulnerably shares how anxious attachment and a deep fear of abandonment continued to influence her relationships until she encountered a transformative neurofeedback experience through 40 Years of Zen. During an intensive retreat working directly with brainwave states and neuroplasticity, Melissa experienced a profound vision of the life and partnership she desired. That experience inspired her to leave behind the familiar, trust an intuitive knowing she could not explain, and move across the country to a city she felt inexplicably called toward. Within weeks of arriving, she met the man who would become her husband. Together, Allana and Melissa explore the beautiful intersection between science and intuition, action and surrender, strategy and serendipity. They discuss the reality that manifestation is not passive wishing, but a partnership between inner alignment and courageous action. The conversation also dives deeply into the difference between chemistry and compatibility, challenging the common belief that love should feel immediate and explosive from the beginning. Melissa shares how the relationship with her husband developed not through instant sparks, but through shared values, emotional safety, vulnerability, and intentional connection. Sometimes the healthiest love stories do not begin with fireworks. Sometimes they begin with trust. She introduces the concept of the four forms of relational courage: The courage to be vulnerable. The courage to ask for what you need. The courage to ask what your partner needs. And the courage to bring difficult conversations into the light. The conversation beautifully explores how unresolved fears often hide beneath conflict, and how learning to identify the emotions we are avoiding can transform our relationships from places of protection into places of connection. Melissa also shares the communication frameworks she and her husband use to maintain emotional safety, resolve conflict quickly, and prevent resentment from accumulating over time. Their commitment to never allowing issues to fester has become one of the foundations of their thriving partnership. Together, Allana and Melissa discuss how love is less about finding the perfect person and more about creating intentional rituals, emotional safety, curiosity, play, and repair. We also talk about: The neuroscience of love and connection The role of neuroplasticity in relational healing 40 Years of Zen and transformational brain training The balance between intuition and strategy in dating Why chemistry can sometimes be misleading How values predict long-term compatibility Dating as a skill-building process rather than a judgment process How to communicate needs effectively Building emotional safety in relationships Repairing conflict before resentment grows The power of rituals, play, and curiosity in long-term partnerships Receiving feedback without defensiveness This episode is a reminder that healthy love is not something we stumble into accidentally. It is something we build intentionally through courage, communication, vulnerability, and presence. Love is not the absence of hard conversations. Love is creating the safety to have them. And sometimes the relationship you are searching for begins not with finding the right person, but by becoming the version of yourself who no longer abandons your own needs, values, and truth.

Step into a soul-stirring and consciousness-opening conversation with Kelly Mason, founder of Kula Paradise Academy, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Kelly's work bridges nervous system regulation, conscious leadership, healing, and spiritual awakening through a grounded blend of lived experience, transformational education, and deep intuitive wisdom. With a background in filmmaking, humanitarian leadership, and energy healing, Kelly brings a perspective that invites us to see life not as random chaos, but as a sacred unfolding of the soul. Kelly vulnerably shares the life-altering horseback accident that became the catalyst for her awakening. After being thrown from a galloping racehorse in Tobago, breaking her arm catastrophically, and experiencing what she describes as crossing briefly to "the other side," she returned with a profound awareness of consciousness, healing, and the deeper intelligence guiding life itself. What doctors believed would require a prosthetic arm became what they later called a documented medical miracle. We explore how that near-death experience initiated Kelly's journey away from identity-based success in the film industry and into a deeper calling rooted in service, healing, and soul remembrance. She opens up about surrendering the life she once knew, following intuitive guidance to Costa Rica as a single mother, and ultimately uncovering her life's mission through unexpected paths that included community activism, environmental innovation, and transformational healing work. We also dive into the vision behind Kula Paradise Academy and its transformational framework built around four levels: Activation, Magnetic, Sovereign, and Legacy. Kelly explains how the academy is designed to help individuals move beyond fragmented healing approaches into sustainable embodiment, self-awareness, sovereignty, and service-driven leadership.  We also talk about: Near-death experiences and spiritual awakening Nervous system regulation and embodied healing Soul contracts, predestination, and divine timing Manifestation, frequency, and magnetic alignment Conscious parenting and emotional coherence Humanitarian work and environmental activism The role of suffering in soul evolution Legacy leadership and conscious education How intuition guides purpose and service The power of surrendering identity to follow your calling Why healing is less about fixing yourself and more about remembering who you truly are This episode is a beautiful reminder that life often redirects us through our greatest breakdowns, heartbreaks, and unexpected detours. Kelly's story reveals how surrender, service, and trust can transform even the darkest nights into pathways of profound purpose, healing, and divine light.

Ben and Tommy break down another chaotic week in foreign policy full of bad ideas and worse outcomes. Trump rolls out—and just as quickly unrolls—a new Pentagon plan—dubbed “Project Freedom”—to “guide” ships through the Strait of Hormuz, leaked intelligence reports show that the war has not changed Iran's nuclear timeline, and polling confirms that the war has become a political disaster for Trump. They also share a rare, firsthand account from a teacher in Iran about living under the regime's internet blackout and surveillance state, and discuss how the war has derailed Trump's upcoming trip to China. Then they turn to the humanitarian catastrophes unfolding in Lebanon and Gaza, where so-called ceasefires have not stopped the killing, rodent infestations are causing infant deaths, and reconstruction is fantasy. They also check in on the war in Ukraine, from the staggering death toll to reports that Putin has retreated into his bunker because he fears for his life, and how online dissent from a Russian influencer finally broke through. Finally, Tommy speaks to Rep. Jason Crow about Iran, why he wants to get Pete Hegseth fired, and what troop reductions in Germany will mean for our relationship with Europe.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
