In this episode of Longevity by Design, host Dr. Gil Blander sits down with Dr. Emeran Mayer, Executive Director at the UCLA Center for Neurobiology of Stress and Resilience and founder of Mayer Interconnected. They explore the science behind the gut-brain connection and its role in shaping health and longevity.Emeran explains how signals flow between the brain, gut, and microbiome, influencing everything from digestion to emotions. He breaks down how modern diets, especially ultra-processed foods, disrupt the natural balance between humans and gut microbes—a relationship refined over thousands of years. The conversation highlights why early life exposure to antibiotics can have lasting effects on microbiome resilience, and how lifestyle choices like diet and exercise remain powerful tools for supporting gut-brain health at any age.The discussion closes with a look toward the future of gut-brain science, including engineered probiotics and the promise of more targeted therapies. Emeran shares practical habits for better gut-brain health and cautions against quick-fix “biohacking,” encouraging a return to whole foods, movement, and mindful living.Guest-at-a-Glance
Episode 405 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Ed Jennings, CEO of Quickbase. The terms 'narrow' and 'growth' seem to contradict each other, yet in Ed's mind, the two concepts go hand-in-hand. Based on his experience, true scaling doesn't always mean adding new products or wildly expanding into new industries. It can be a huge challenge to say "no" to new opportunities when the goal is increased revenue. But as Ed explains, the key to sustainable success is to look deeply at your core customer and double down on your core value. This focus is what helps you win and retain customers—a factor often overlooked, but insanely important for long-term growth. Quickbase is the AI operations platform used by more than 12,000 organizations worldwide to transform ordinary work into extraordinary impact. Combining powerful AI capabilities and the flexibility and ease of low code/no code technology, Quickbase boosts productivity, improves efficiency, and enhances employee safety for organizations managing large-scale projects and operations in industries like construction and manufacturing.

This week, Jason is joined by bestselling author, chef, and digital creator, Jake Cohen! Jake has become one of the most recognizable culinary voices of his generation, building an empire at the intersection of food, culture and social media. Jake has used his creativity to turn recipes into a thriving brand. His cookbooks Jew-ish, I Could Nosh, and his recent release Dinner Party Animal became instant bestsellers - earning praise for blending nostalgia with modern flavor, and for celebrating heritage beyond food. Jake is a master of brand strategy. Through his Wake and Jake platform, he has launched partnerships with major brands, developed original media content, and positioned himself as a culinary entrepreneur, redefining what it means to build a kitchen brand in a digital age. Jake Cohen dives into his unconventional career path—jumping from the Culinary Institute of America into a 3-star Michelin kitchen, navigating low-paying editorial roles, test kitchens, and even a year as a Time Out New York food critic—all while staying true to himself and chasing an end goal he couldn't yet fully see. He breaks down the realities of making ends meet, the differences between editorial and commercial shoots, how labor impacts the way he approaches dining out, and why maintaining a healthy relationship with social media matters. Jake opens up about his first cookbook pitch getting rejected, the surprising cost of cookbook photography, taking creative control of his team after book one, nearly joining a culinary hype house, and his “don't put all your eggs in one basket” philosophy. He also shares how his Hulu show Jake Makes It Easy came together, when he knew he had the makings of a reality star, the power of word-of-mouth momentum, and closes with rapid fire questions. Jake reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!

The common advice for career growth is to “move up” into management — but what if your true passion lies in staying close to the technology itself? In this episode, host Sam East speaks with Deb Whitis, Ph.D., and Amrita Maguire, both of the SWE Technical Career Path Affinity Group, about what it means to grow, lead, and make an impact as engineers while staying on the technical career path. From developing nickel-based superalloys that power jet engines to advancing ergonomic standards and AI-enabled design, Deb and Amrita reflect on their careers and share how technical leadership can be just as influential as managing people. They also highlight the work of SWE's Technical Career Path Affinity Group, including a new mentorship program helping women chart their own path as innovators, inventors, and subject matter experts.

In the debut episode of Ask and Disagree, Angela McManoway and DJ Daugherty sit down with host/referee Beth Shaheen to wrestle with a topic everyone's talking about but few agree on: how AI is reshaping career paths, industries, and everyday work.From Amazon layoffs and AI-powered drive-thrus to automated banking lines and airplane wing design, the trio dives into both sides of the conversation:Is AI eliminating jobs—or creating new ones?Will the workforce fall behind if people refuse to use it?Does AI make us smarter, or lazier?How do we stay “human” when everything is automated?What does expert knowledge mean in a world where AI can generate answers instantly?DJ brings the tech lens: speed, efficiency, code analysis, and where human oversight still matters.Angela brings the business view: customer experience, authenticity, job displacement, and what gets lost when humans disappear from the process.Beth asks the provocative questions that push their perspectives—and expose where they agree (rarely) and disagree (often).This fast-moving 30-minute episode sets the tone for the series: real conversations, real disagreements, and real insights about the future of work.
Send us a textSeason 11 continues with a story built on pressure, persistence, and two people who refused to settle for the careers they were “meant” to have.Dan and Fix spent years in engineering and construction before Carnistore ever existed. Long days on site, managing hundreds of workers, solving problems nonstop, and dealing with deadlines that could cost millions. But the one thing that stayed with both of them was food. Memories from Egypt, home cooking, street food, and the feeling of people gathering around a meal.A chance meeting at a kid's birthday party brought two strangers together who were secretly working on the same idea. From that moment they decided to build something they wished existed. A place focused on good meat, good sourcing, good service, and honest hospitality.Carnistore started with no funding and no experience in F and B. Just belief, curiosity, and a lot of trial and error. Their turning point came in 2020 when the entire city went online and their orders went from 15 a day to hundreds overnight. What could have broken them became the moment that changed their future.Today they run one of Dubai's strongest homegrown brands. A space in Alserkal Avenue. A community of chefs, families, and food lovers. And a content style that has taken over the internet.This episode is real, funny, raw, and full of the moments that build entrepreneurs.What You Will Hear in This Episode• Growing up in Egypt and how food shaped their childhood• Why engineering was the expected path and why it never felt right• The pressure of construction life and the moment they wanted out• How they met and realised they were working on the same idea• The early Carnistore days and the decision to go fully online• How COVID changed everything overnight• The story behind their Alserkal Avenue space• Why community is central to their brandProudly Brought to You by Potatoes USAPotatoes USA represents America's potato growers and inspires chefs, home cooks, and food lovers everywhere.From nutrition to creativity, they show why potatoes remain one of the most powerful ingredients in any kitchen.Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/potatogoodnessgcc/Websitehttps://www.potatogoodnessgcc.comFollow Dan and FixInstagramDan - https://www.instagram.com/danthecarnivore/Fix - https://www.instagram.com/fixthecarnivore/Business - https://www.instagram.com/carnistore/Websitehttps://www.carnistore.comFollow Chef JKPInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/chefjkppodcastLinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/james-knight-paccheco-447b1b17TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@jamesknightpacchecoChapters00:00 Introduction04:00 Childhood food memories and growing up in Egypt17:00 Engineering life and the pressure that pushed them away27:00 The moment they met and discovered they shared the same idea35:00 Building Carnistore from scratch and choosing to go online45:00 COVID hits and their business explodes overnight54:00 Moving into Alserkal Avenue and designing the space59:00 How community, chefs, and creatives shaped the brandSupport the showFollow The Chef JKP Podcast on Instagram HERE

What if you could design a career that gave you flexibility for your family, fulfillment in your work, and the freedom to follow your passions? That's exactly what Elyse Sheeler did when she created her private practice, Speaking Life: Speech Therapy and Wellness, in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin.Elyse is a speech-language pathologist who began her career in skilled nursing, inspired by her grandmother's journey with Alzheimer's. After years of working across medical, outpatient, and school settings, she started to crave more control over her time and the freedom to integrate her interests — particularly wellness and Myofunctional therapy into her work.When Elyse became a mom, her priorities shifted. Between long IEP meetings, school schedules, and a growing family, she began questioning if she could maintain her demanding school SLP job while being fully present at home.Her turning point came after her son's experience with a tongue-tie — a moment that ignited her passion for myofunctional therapy and holistic family wellness. Realizing how few local providers addressed these needs, she decided to build a practice where she could offer the kind of care she wished she'd had for her own family.Starting small, Elyse launched Speaking Life while still working part-time in the schools. One referral led to another, and soon she was running her own practice full-time. With support from the Start and Grow Your Private Practice Programs, she created systems, clarified her mission, and built a business that reflected both her values and her lifestyle.In this episode, we talk about how Elyse serves children and families through Speaking Life: Speech Therapy and Wellness, integrating speech-language pathology, Myofunctional therapy, and family wellness education. She also hosts the podcast Speaking Life into Motherhood, where she helps other moms find balance and purpose through mindful living and holistic health.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:Transitioned from full-time school SLP to private practice ownerFound her niche in Myofunctional therapy and holistic wellnessCreated a lifestyle practice that supports both her family and her purposeElyse's story is a reminder that private practice isn't just about leaving a job—it's about designing a life. By following her instincts, defining her “why,” and building a mission-centered practice, she created the freedom to be both the mom and clinician she always wanted to be.Want to build a private practice that gives you freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment—just like Elyse has?

Welcome to episode #1010 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). What if the search for our "true selves" has been leading us away from who we actually need to become? That's the tension at the heart of Dr. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic's work, a globally respected authority on people analytics, talent, leadership, and the Human–AI interface whose career spans ManpowerGroup, Deeper Signals, Meta Profiling, Columbia University, UCL, and decades of research that have shaped how organizations understand human behavior. His latest book, Don't Be Yourself: Why Authenticity Is Overrated (And What To Do Instead), challenges one of the most cherished modern beliefs - that success comes from projecting our raw, unfiltered selves - and instead argues that adaptability, reputational awareness, and a more evidence-based approach to identity lead to better outcomes for individuals, teams, and societies. He is also the author of Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders?, I, Human, The Talent Delusion, and many others. In this conversation, we unpack how hyper-normalized ideas take root, why celebrity culture distorts our sense of what authenticity looks like, and how social media has gamified identity into a curated performance that misleads both the performer and the audience. He explains why leaders must balance sincerity with impression management, how hybrid work and return-to-office debates reveal deeper anxieties about trust and presence, and why intellectual curiosity may be the antidote to polarization in an era where algorithms reward tribalism. The discussion also explores the limits of self-perception, the psychology of reputation, the dangers of treating outliers as role models, and the pivotal role AI may play in counteracting human bias. Ultimately, Tomas argues that authenticity without responsibility collapses into narcissism, and that a more thoughtful, flexible, and socially attuned version of ourselves is not only possible, but necessary.

This episode of 'In the Woods' podcast from Oregon State University's Forestry and Natural Resources Program features Dr. Seri Robinson, a professor in the College of Forestry's Wood Science and Engineering program. Dr. Robinson discusses her unique career path that merges art and science, particularly her expertise in the study of spalting. Spalting is a process where fungi react to environmental stressors, producing vivid pigments in the wood. Robinson delves into the science behind this phenomenon, the historical applications in art, and the potential innovative uses in modern technology like optoelectronics. She also addresses common myths about the safety of spalted wood in kitchen applications, the toxicity of wood dust, and the importance of selecting appropriate wood species for food-related uses. The episode concludes with Dr. Robinson sharing resources for further learning and her favorite tool and tree species.

Anky Cyriaque, a filmmaker originally from Haiti who grew up in New York, brings a unique perspective to the cinema industry, deeply rooted in his belief that storytelling reigns supreme. Influenced by early childhood experiences with American TV shows like Sesame Street, Cyriaque emphasizes that "story is king," a philosophy he upholds in his directorial pursuits. He expresses concern over the cinema industry's current trajectory, where financial considerations often overshadow the narrative, diminishing the traditional theatrical experience and leading to what he views as a decline in storytelling quality. Cyriaque also critiques the rapid shift from theatrical releases to video on demand, arguing that this quick transition erodes the value of the cinematic experience, urging a return to prioritizing engaging narratives that captivate audiences.(00:02:45) Short Films: Directors' Personal Storytelling Investments(00:05:57) Film Influence on Career Paths(00:10:23) "Showcasing Director's Storytelling Skills Through Shorts"(00:19:11) Streaming Services' Influence on Independent Filmmakers' Visibility(00:29:34) Dynamic Landscape of Modern Visual Narratives(00:34:52) Media Consumption Shift: Streaming vs. Physical Ownership(00:44:02) Influencer-Driven Marketing in Movie Promotion(00:47:01) Evolution of Independent Film Distribution Strategies(00:52:19) Spielberg's Influence on Film Appreciationhttps://www.imdb.com/name/nm3977697/

The Love, Happiness and Success Podcast With Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
This episode originally aired on April 5, 2021 (Episode 240), and I'm bringing it back because so many of you said it gave you the clarity you didn't know you needed. If you're feeling stuck in your career or wondering whether there's something more fulfilling out there for you, this conversation is worth revisiting. So many people come to me at a professional crossroads. On paper, things look fine — good job, steady paycheck — but inside, they're wrestling with harder questions: Is this what I'm meant to be doing? Where's the meaning? And what would it actually look like to feel passionate about my work? Finding your passion isn't about flipping a switch. It's about understanding how you got here, untangling what's yours from what you were told to want, and designing a career that aligns with who you are now. In this episode, we're talking about how to get unstuck, how to reflect with purpose, and how to move forward, even when it feels like there are a thousand possible directions and no clear right answer. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Getting Unstuck When You Have Too Many Options 05:12 Career Crossroads: How to Navigate Paralysis and Indecision 11:08 Life Design vs. Job Search: Shifting How We Think About Career 18:39 Finding Your Passion by Reflecting on the Past 27:26 The “Quarter-Life” Crossroads: Making Sense of How You Got Here 30:12 Burnout or Misalignment? How to Tell the Difference 34:45 The 10-Year Vision Exercise That Brings Long-Term Clarity 36:44 Why Big Career Decisions Shouldn't Happen During Burnout We cover how early life influences, past roles, and even burnout shape your career path, often without you realizing it. And we'll help you figure out whether you need a new job or a new perspective on the one you already have. What if you stopped pushing through and started getting curious? What would it feel like to move toward a career that fits you, not just the version of you who started years ago? If you're feeling ready to find your passion and design a career that actually fits, I'd love to support you as you start taking clear, doable steps. Through my Career Clarity Intensive, you can have clarity and confidence about the right next step for you, how to grow professionally and attain what you really want, and actualize the fullness of your potential in your career! The first step: join me for a free coaching call to design your next chapter. Here's the link to register. And if you want to keep this conversation going beyond the podcast, come find me on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube. I'm always sharing tools and insights to help you build a life and career that reflect your values and your worth. And if something from this episode sparked something for you, I'd love to hear how you're making sense of your path. Let's talk! xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie BobbyGrowing Self

This week, in episode 266, David C. Barnett, Jay Goltz, and Kate Morgan wrestle with one of the trickiest challenges for business owners: how to give employees room to grow without losing sight of the company's mission. David points out that every business is on its way to obsolescence unless it deliberately evolves—and one way to do that, he says, is by letting employees experiment and try new things. That approach, Jay says, is exactly what led to his building a furniture business. Plus: Kate and Jay agree that while many aspects of running a business can be stressful, nothing has been more stressful for them than the period when their businesses were growing the fastest. And the owners react to a Reddit post from someone who has found that hiring employees has created more problems than it has solved. “Is this just what having employees is like?” the owner writes. “Please tell me I'm not the only one losing my mind.”
