Join Dr. Bahar Force, Endocrinologist, Medical Director of the Pituitary Center, and Associate Program Director of the Endocrinology Fellowship Program at Baylor College of Medicine, as she speaks with leading experts Dr. James Findling, Clinical Professor of Endocrinology at the Medical College of Wisconsin, and Dr. Ty Carroll, Visiting Professor of Endocrinology and Chief of the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism at the University of Wisconsin Madison, for a clinician-focused conversation on non-neoplastic hypercortisolism. Together, they discuss how common conditions can lead to cortisol elevations that resemble Cushing syndrome, the clinical patterns that raise concern for neoplastic hypercortisolism, and the growing role of the Desmopressin Stimulation Test in helping distinguish between the two. The episode also highlights emerging research, including insights from the Catalyst study and the potential role of cortisol-directed therapy. 

The bottleneck holding back AI is a scarcity of power, or so goes the story. That may be true — and plenty of reporting backs it up — but different actors in the space face varying incentives to play up or play down that narrative.  So what incentives are at play, and how do they shape each player's story? In this episode, Shayle talks to Shanu Mathew, senior vice president and portfolio manager-analyst for US sustainable equity at Lazard. Last month on X, he posted a breakdown of the actors — including hyperscalers, chip makers, utilities, and others – and how the different incentives they face shape how they talk about energy and AI. They cover topics like: Hyperscalers' mixed incentives: the benefits of building their own capacity vs encouraging others to overbuild Why equipment makers, chipmakers, and land developers benefit from talking up the bottleneck to boost demand for their services How independent power producers and gas players benefit from high prices How the power-bottleneck narrative has shifted over time Resources: Latitude Media: ERCOT's large load queue has nearly quadrupled in a single year   Latitude Media: The power bottleneck is changing data center financing Latitude Media: Early-stage data centers are driving up US power demand forecasts   Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

Catalyst Brands CEO Marc Rosen discusses the state of the US consumer following a strong Black Friday. He speaks with hosts Matt Miller and Dani Burger.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this final message, we explore the Holy Spirit as the catalyst of our lives—the One who alone brings healthy, lasting change. Though life shifts and sin distorts, the Spirit convicts, frees, and reshapes us from within, producing what our willpower never could. And His work in us inevitably overflows through us: transformed people become instruments of transformation in God's wider purposes. So, the question remains—are we waiting for things around us to change, or will we surrender to God's grace, His empowering presence for true change?

Chibber is a professor and published writer (Catalyst and Jacobin). We discuss the state of the left today, and whether recent elections mark meaningful shifts in socialist political organizing. We also cover the challenges of building working-class support amidst the rise and conflicting interests of white collar professionals. The conversation touches on political compromise, and the influence of post-colonial theory in academia. In the Backroom exclusive segment on Patreon, Vivek Chibber and I specifically discuss Zohran Mamdani and his recent election.

What if your biggest failure was actually a trampoline? In this episode of Get Yourself Optimized, I sat down with Sagi Shrieber—UI/UX designer turned 7-figure entrepreneur—who went from being two weeks away from not being able to feed his family to building multiple successful businesses. Sagi shares how he:  ✓ Hired a coach with money he didn't have (and turned his business around in 2 weeks)  ✓ Wrote himself a check that manifested exactly 6 months later  ✓ Created his "9-12 Club" morning routine that led to his first 7-figure year  ✓ Used the 75 Hard challenge to build unshakeable mental toughness If you're facing challenges in your business or feeling stuck, this episode will shift your entire perspective on adversity.

Ep. 169. In this episode of Perspective with Viv, I sit down with Andrew Wilson, a trauma-informed coach and author, to explore his incredible journey from personal tragedy to profound healing. Andrew opens up about how his mother's illness became a turning point in his life, pushing him to confront trauma, fear, and the depths of the subconscious mind.We talk about the power of fear, not as something to avoid, but as a teacher that can guide us toward growth and empowerment. Andrew walks me through the Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT) and shares practical ways to connect with our subconscious, uncover hidden insights, and embrace emotional vulnerability, even for high achievers who are used to “holding it together.”Throughout our conversation, we dive into the importance of emotional expression for men, the journey of self-discovery, forgiveness, and rising from life's lowest points. Andrew shares lessons from his book The Enemy Within and his own experiences, encouraging listeners to confront their shadows, embrace vulnerability, and learn from the past.Chapters:02:46 – The Catalyst for Change: A Personal Tragedy06:07 – Transforming Trauma into Growth08:54 – The Power of Intuition and Creativity11:50 – Understanding Fear as a Teacher15:13 – The Role of the Subconscious Mind18:01 – Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT) Explained21:01 – Connecting with Past Lives and Energy23:56 – Practical Steps to Connect with Your Subconscious35:46 – Breaking the Chains of Masculinity48:05 – The Enemy Within: Confronting Our ShadowsBioAndrew Wilson is a trauma-informed fear coach, QHHT practitioner, and the author of The Enemy Within.

937 applications. 42 interviews. 80 days. That's what it took one experienced data scientist to land a job in 2025—and he's one of the lucky ones.In this episode of The Catalyst, we follow two tech professionals through what they call "the worst job market ever." Emily, a software developer with 10 years of experience and a degree from University of Waterloo's prestigious computer science program, gets laid off on a Tuesday and was interviewing the next day. Santiago, a data scientist and former manager at Deloitte, launches what he calls a "denial of service attack" on the job market—bombarding it with nearly a thousand applications while tracking every rejection in a dashboard styled like Super Mario.Both land jobs. Both consider themselves fortunate. And both say the system is fundamentally broken.Meanwhile, over 700 tech workers are being laid off every day while companies claim they can't find talent. Something doesn't add up. Through their stories and expert analysis from Bobby Burns, Vice President of R&D at Indeed, we uncover what's really happening: applicant tracking systems filtering out 75% of qualified candidates, AI conducting first-round interviews before humans ever get involved, and a catch-22 nobody can solve—where will senior developers come from in 2030 if we're not hiring junior developers in 2025?Key Takeaways:Why the "talent shortage" exists alongside mass tech layoffsHow applicant tracking systems reject 75% of resumes due to formatting issuesThe psychological toll of sending hundreds of applications into the voidWhat AI tools might (and might not) fix about hiring and fighting biasWhy even graduates from top programs can't get entry-level rolesRead about Emily's experience on her Medium: https://emilyxiong.medium.com/my-experience-of-finding-a-tech-job-in-2025-6830297c5197------This episode is brought to you by Softchoice, a World Wide Technology company.

You're going to love today's episode — especially if you've been feeling that inner shift… the sense that you're not here to fix yourself anymore, you're here to live, to expand, to deepen, and to grow into who you already are. This conversation is for the seeker who's done the work. Who's healed, learned, stretched, rewritten chapters, faced shadows, and built a level of emotional strength most people never reach. And now… you're ready for something different. In today's episode we dive into: ✨ Why you're naturally outgrowing the constant hustle of self-improvement ✨ What it really means to evolve rather than “fix” ✨ How to start making decisions from your highest good (not fear, not old patterns) ✨ The signs your intuition is trying to graduate you ✨ What loving yourself looks like in this stage of your life ✨ Why aligned action matters more than overthinking, forcing, or grinding ✨ How to weave your light into your everyday life and let it guide your next chapter This episode will help you exhale. It will remind you that you're not behind — you're evolving. And the next phase of your life isn't about striving or pushing… it's about living your truth, trusting your inner guidance, and moving forward with everything you've learned, everything you've healed, and everything you are becoming. If you're feeling called into more ease, purpose, intuition, more purpose, and more alignment… this one is for you!    Mentioned

 The 30-Minute Mindset Revolution"Your life changes the moment you make a new, real decision." — Tony Robbins1. Your Current Reality is a Mirror of Past Decisions    Every aspect of your life (relationships, finances, health) reflects choices you've made—or avoided.     Tony's Insight: "Success is 80% psychology, 20% mechanics." Limiting beliefs (e.g., "I'm not smart enough") are often inherited from family/society, not facts 79.2. The "Assumption Trap"    Most assumptions are outdated or false (e.g., "Enlightenment is a myth," "I need a perfect plan to start").    Breakthrough Tool: Challenge one assumption daily. Ask:        "Is this belief serving me?"        "What if the opposite were true?"    Science Backs This: Stanford studies show questioning beliefs boosts cognitive flexibility by 300% 3.3. The Power of a Single DecisionImagine, you are a beautiful lady 19 years old, your mother died and you had 2 years ago a severe motorcycle accident and lost your brain… In the meantime you learned to speak again..Your mother trusted her friend and authorized her to take the money from the life insurance to administrate it for you.Your family wanted only the money and don't want to take care of you…You decided against your family and to trust your mother's friend Lod.  Lod and her boyfriend Rudi decided to take care of you… And then they found a school for brain rehabilitation with people the same age as you.. First You felt so lonely to stay at this school, never less you agreed and then you enjoyed your time there. In 2 years you will be healed.  Your new parents decided sex is good for you and got a coil for you to prevent pregnancy…     Tony Robbins' 7-Step Breakthrough Framework:        Change Your Environment (e.g., the brain rehab school in your story).        Face the Real Issue (e.g., the family's greed vs. the girl's need for care).        Embrace Your Power (her choice to trust Lod/Rudi).        Shift Perspective (from "I'm broken" to "I'm healing").        Own Your Truth (acknowledging her worth beyond money).        Let Go of the Past (releasing resentment toward her family).        Design a Compelling Future (sexuality, health, independence).    Result: In 30 minutes, she redirected her life's trajectory.4. Suffering as a Catalyst    Pain pushes us to change only when it exceeds our fear of the unknown.    Tony's Strategy: "Use suffering as fuel." The girl's accident and betrayal became her motivation to rebuild.    Action Step: Write down:        "What pain am I tolerating?"        "What decision have I avoided because of fear?"5. The "Enough is Enough" Moment    Case Study: Tony's client, a bankrupt entrepreneur, decided in one moment to stop blaming the economy—and quadrupled his income in a year.    Your Turn: Identify one area where you'll say "no more" today.30-Minute Challenge: Rewrite Your Story    Minute 1–5: List 3 assumptions holding you back (e.g., "I'm bad with money").    Minute 6–15: Recall a past decision that changed everything (like the girl's trust in Lod). Feel its power.    Minute 16–25: Apply Robbins' "Three Forces of Decision" 9:        Focus: What do you really want? (e.g., "Financial freedom").        Emotion: Link pain to inaction, joy to action.        Action: Commit to one step (e.g., "Call a financial coach today").    Minute 26–30: Declare aloud: "This is my new truth: ______."Key TakeawayMy story proves it: One decision can override a lifetime of limits. Whether it's trusting a stranger, leaving toxicity, or betting on yourself—clarity + courage = unstoppable transformation.Now: What's the one decision you've been avoiding? Make it in the next 30 minutes.(For deeper training, explore Tony's Breakthrough Framework)Why This Works:    Neuroscience: Decisions rewire the brain's prefrontal cortex, boosting willpower 3.    Spiritual Alignment: Your emphasis on faith mirrors Robbins' principle: "Belief in a higher purpose fuels resilience".    Real-World Proof: The girl's recovery and Robbins' client successes show decisions trump conditions.My Video: Break Limits & Achieve Anything: https://youtu.be/KAylcJqO_j4 My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/Break-Limits-Achieve-Anything.mp3

Bob Zimmerman reports that Blue Origin's New Glenn orbital rocket successfully completed its second launch, including landing the first stage and demonstrating reuse capability comparable to Falcon 9. New Glenn, larger than Falcon 9, is scheduled for upgrades with more powerful BE4 and BE3U engines, making it nearly comparable to NASA's costly and expendable SLS rocket. Rocket Lab set a new annual launch record with 15 successful orbital launches, surpassing Russia's frequency, and has conducted suborbital HASTE launches for military testing. India is upgrading its largest LVM rocket's upper stage for multiple restarts, essential for its space station and crewed missions. The US State Department opposes a proposed European Union space law seeking to impose EU regulations on companies from other nations, potentially discrediting the EU if passed. Finally, NASA has hired startup Catalyst to attempt a daring robotic rescue of the decaying Swift telescope. 1862 

SHOW 11-21-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT UKRAINE FIRST HOUR 9-915 HEADLINE: Las Vegas Shifts Focus with Formula 1 and Lower-End Tourism; California Politics Hit by Indictments GUEST: Jeff Bliss Jeff Bliss reports that the Formula 1 race on the Las Vegas city circuit is attracting major spectacle and high-end tourism, though the city is also attempting recovery by catering to lower-income demographics, evidenced by positive activity at the Excalibur Casino, while facing major competition from a new Indian casino near Bakersfield, California, operated by the Tahone tribe and twice the size of Caesars Palace. In California, Governor Gavin Newsom's former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, and four others were indicted on 23 counts of fraud. Additionally, an investigation into the Palisades fire revealed that state workers ordered the LA Fire Department to back off a previously burned area that rekindled, allegedly to protect endangered plants. 915-930 HEADLINE: Industrial Policy and Tariffs Lack Coherence; Removal of Food Tariffs Implies Inflationary EffectGUEST: Veronique De Rugy Veronique De Rugy discusses US industrial policy, noting the trade deficit has increased despite tariffs, and the administration's decision to remove tariffs on food items—goods not produced domestically—is seen as an implicit admission that tariffs contribute to the "affordability crisis" because tariffs are a tax primarily borne by American consumers. The goals behind tariffs have shifted from fighting China to raising revenue, and the largest tariff exemption is for computer parts, indicating an understanding that tariffs could contradict other goals like energy abundance. De Rugyargues that US economic power stems from innovation and a willingness to invest, making industrial policy involving tariffs and seeking foreign investment largely unnecessary and potentially harmful. 930-945 HEADLINE: Mixed US Economic Signals: Strong GDP Contrasts Low Consumer Sentiment; AI Adoption Increases GUEST: Gene Marks Gene Marks discusses the US economy, noting that third-quarter GDP growth is estimated near 4%, contrasting sharply with record-low consumer sentiment in a "tale of two economies" where salaried workers receiving pay raises of 5–7% are outpacing 3% inflation and continuing to spend, while hourly workers struggle. Despite job growth in construction, leading indicators like the architectural billings index show contraction for 11 months. In technology, 88% of major companies are adopting artificial intelligence, though scaling remains limited, with AI already replacing low-level programmers and enhancing customer service. Agentic AI, capable of performing complex tasks, is predicted to impact fields like accounting and marketing by 2027–2028. However, Marks argues that most current major corporate layoffs stem from typical corporate bloat and mismanagement rather than AI, at least not yet. 945-10 SECOND HOUR 10-1015 HEADLINE: Lancaster County Economy Booms Despite Low Consumer Confidence; Local Entrepreneurs ThriveGUEST: Jim McTague Jim McTague reports that the economy in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, is strong, suggesting it mirrors the greater US economy despite reports of low consumer confidence, observing robust traffic at tourist destinations like Kitchen Kettle Village, a shopping locale established in 1954, with spending largely supported by well-off boomers. Local entrepreneurs are experiencing great success—a dealer selling eclectic electric lamps in Park City Mall is already earning $4,500 per week at the start of the holiday season, and high volume at Costco, where the Amish are major buyers, further indicates available disposable income. McTague concludes that the real economy on Main Street is strong and likely headed for a blockbuster Christmas season. 1015-1030 HEADLINE: Climate Change Threatens Iconic Italian Cheeses; Southern Drought Reduces Milk Production Quality GUEST: Lorenzo Fiori Lorenzo Fiori reports that climate change is threatening Italian food production, particularly cheese, due to drought and heat waves in the south, especially the Puglia region, where stressed cows are reducing milk production and impacting specialty cheeses like mozzarella and burrata. Milk cannot be shipped from the north because local water and hay are essential to the unique flavor of southern cheese. Fiori emphasizes that Italian food is a famous brand precisely because it belongs to its territory, criticizing pre-prepared sauces found in Brussels as inauthentic carbonara, which must be made fresh. In Milan, Christmas preparations are underway, with shop windows decorated festively and street lights scheduled to be switched on December 7th. 1030-1045 HEADLINE: Private Space Advances (Blue Origin, Rocket Lab) Challenge NASA SLS, EU Space Law CriticizedGUEST: Bob Zimmerman Bob Zimmerman reports that Blue Origin's New Glenn orbital rocket successfully completed its second launch, including landing the first stage and demonstrating reuse capability comparable to Falcon 9. New Glenn, larger than Falcon 9, is scheduled for upgrades with more powerful BE4 and BE3U engines, making it nearly comparable to NASA's costly and expendable SLS rocket. Rocket Lab set a new annual launch record with 15 successful orbital launches, surpassing Russia's frequency, and has conducted suborbital HASTE launches for military testing. India is upgrading its largest LVM rocket's upper stage for multiple restarts, essential for its space station and crewed missions. The US State Department opposes a proposed European Union space law seeking to impose EU regulations on companies from other nations, potentially discrediting the EU if passed. Finally, NASA has hired startup Catalyst to attempt a daring robotic rescue of the decaying Swift telescope. 1045-1100 THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 HEADLINE: McFaul: Autocrats Are on the Rise; US Must Unite Allies and Attract Global Talent to CompeteGUEST: Michael McFaul Michael McFaul's book Autocrats Versus Democrats argues that Putinism is driven by anti-Western ideology, making Putin a risk-taker, and McFaul believes the US erred by lacking a robust response and failing to provide arms after the 2014 Crimea invasion, stressing that helping Ukraine win is essential to inspire Russian democrats. He asserts that the appeal of autocracy is growing globally and advises that the US must align democracies against autocrats while advocating for human rights, citing the need to support imprisoned publisher Jimmy Lai. Long-term strategy requires the US and its allies to unite, as they are collectively stronger economically and militarily than autocracies, and McFaulstrongly recommends attracting international talent by reversing restrictive immigration policies, calling it a great strength the US is currently losing. 1115-1130 1130-1145 1145-1200 FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 HEADLINE: US-Saudi Nuclear Deal Raises Proliferation Concerns; Military Micro-Reactors Retreat from Front Lines GUEST: Henry Sokolski Henry Sokolski states that Saudi Crown Prince MBS's goal is to obtain a bomb option, and while the new US-Saudi agreement does not include assistance with nuclear fuel production, a reactor still provides the necessary "cover" used by countries like Iran. MBS has made clear he will acquire a bomb if Iran does, regardless of the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Sokolski also discusses the US military's Janus program for small reactors, initially conceived for vulnerable front-line bases but pushed back to remote areas like Alaska and the lower 48 due to concerns about drones and vulnerability. Finally, the US may be moving toward nuclear socialism—government ownership of commercial reactors, potentially funded by Japan—to encourage commercialization even without secured market contracts. 1215-1230 1230-1245 HEADLINE: Scenario: Russia Attacks NATO Member Estonia; Europe's "Kantian Dreams" and Lack of Readiness Prevent Article 5 Response GUEST: Jakub Grygiel Jakub Grygiel analyzes the German book If Russia Wins, which outlines a scenario where Russia attacks NATO member Estonia around 2028 following a stalled conflict in Ukraine, capturing Narva and an island before halting its advance and creating confusion within NATO. Europeans, living in "Kantian dreams of eternal peace," prioritize a quick end to the conflict and fear escalation, and the scenario posits that the US President decides a World War III over a "tiny piece of land" is not worthwhile, leading Estonia to forego invoking NATO's Article 5 out of fear of alliance rejection. Grygielnotes that decades of demilitarization leave Europe unprepared for war, highlighting that US reinforcements could take 45 days to move and societies lack the political will to fund necessary rearmament.

What if the very system you invested in to create brand consistency and efficiency is now the biggest thing slowing down your digital transformation and costing you innovation? Agility requires more than just speed; it demands a shared language and a foundational framework that allows teams to build, test, and innovate without being crushed by the weight of their own complexity. This episode is brought to you by The Office of Experience, a design-driven, digital-first, vertically integrated and collaborative agency that believes in the power of ideas and the strength of people. Today, we're going to talk about design systems. But probably not in the way you're used to thinking about them. We're moving past the idea of a design system as just a rulebook or a library of components, and exploring how it can become a true catalyst for digital transformation—a tool that breaks down silos, accelerates business outcomes, and fundamentally changes how teams work together. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Nigel Dennis, Creative Director at The Office of Experience.

Why community is the most powerful tool for transformation.Community isn't just a feel-good buzzword. According to Gina Bianchini, it's a catalyst for personal and collective transformation.Bianchini is the CEO and founder of community-building platform, Mighty Networks, and author of the book Purpose: Design a Community and Change Your Life. "Community is when people come together, and every single member has something to give and something to receive," she explains. In contrast to the one-directional dynamic of a speaker and their audience or a creator and their following, Bianchini argues that the power of community lies in two-way exchanges, where each member benefits the group and benefits from it. "Community is the single most effective way to get results and transformation you just can't get on your own," she says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Bianchini joins host Matt Abrahams to discuss how to unlock the potential of purposeful communities. She shares strategies for finding your tribe during times of transition, the "people magic” created when we facilitate deep connections, and how creating community enables us to create the world and lives we imagine.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Gina BianchiniGina's Book: PurposeEp.174 Fix Meetings: Transform Gatherings Into Meaningful Moments Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:17) - Defining Community vs. Audience (04:05) - Community as a Catalyst for Transformation (06:41) - Finding the Right Community (10:29) - The Future Story Framework (13:22) - People Magic & Facilitation (19:07) - The Final Three Questions (24:59) - Conclusion   ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

After years of stalled transmission buildout, there are new signs of progress. Earlier this month, SPP approved $8.6 billion in transmission projects across 14 states. Major plans are emerging in MISO, PJM, and ERCOT. Despite the DOE canceling its loan guarantee, the Grain Belt Express is still moving forward. And regardless of court battles, so is the New England Clean Energy Connect.  Are these signs that the U.S. could start building transmission at scale again? In this episode, Shayle talks to Rob Gramlich, founder and president of Grid Strategies. He and Shayle cover topics like: Why Rob says the DOE's efforts to fast-track large-load interconnection is a positive sign for transmission buildout The recent buildout of 880 miles of transmission and why it may look better than it is Why transmission hasn't benefited from data center investment  Specific projects, including SPP's transmission backbone and the Grain Belt Express Rob's outlook on buildout over the coming year The uncertain future of permitting reform despite bipartisan support Resources: Catalyst: Unpacking DOE's proposal to transform data center interconnection    Latitude Media: How the Grain Belt Express lost its LPO loan   E&E News: Data center growth cited in defense of MISO transmission plan  Fill out our short podcast listener survey for a chance to win a $100 Amazon gift card.

He is here to talk about his amazing book, Delivering the Wow: Culture as Catalyst for Lasting Success.    THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…anyone leading teams or organizations who wants to understand how culture drives lasting success.    TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…culture isn't about slogans on the wall, it's about the daily choices that shape how people feel about their work.

From connecting employee bonuses to engagement metrics to turning feedback into a continuous improvement engine, Richard's insights show how culture can truly become your greatest competitive advantage.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: You don't inherit a great culture; you create it by reinforcing the right behaviors every day.

Catalyst is a Creative Industries podcast, from Chapman University. Each episode features Chapman students who have completed a Podcasting course through the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at the university. Students who had no podcasting experience or technical ability in the genre before taking the course were able to contribute all the segments to Catalyst this season with the goal being that they will take this 'hands-on' experience and carry it over to the launching of their very own series. Each episode of Season 14 will feature one to two different interviews conducted by CCI students, exploring different aspects of the Creative and Cultural Industries. Our season finale starts with Taylor Green who speaks with Olivia Halton co-founder of 760skin, a clean, vegan skincare brand. The pair explore how creativity shapes both of their lives and how persistence and innovation guided Olivia through moments of uncertainty. They discuss how Olivia turned a personal passion into a thriving company, and her decision to pursue entrepreneurship over a traditional 9-to-5 path and revealing the inspiration behind the name 760skin. She opens up about the challenges and triumphs of building a business from the ground up, offering valuable insights into creativity, branding, and resilience. Wrapping up our episode, and our season, Kaylee Chapman brings us an interview with San Francisco tattoo artist Lo Gwyn. Chapman and Gwyn take an in-depth look at the artistry, emotion, and individuality that define the tattoo industry. Lo shares how she forged her path through a nontraditional route, emphasizing the role of networking, self-motivation, and creative risk-taking in shaping her career. She offers candid advice for aspiring artists about finding sustainability and success outside conventional apprenticeships, while staying true to their vision. Lo reveals her creative process, the emotions that drive her work, and how she navigates growing trends in the industry. She also addresses misconceptions about tattooing and the lack of recognition it often receives as fine art—responding with thoughtful, passionate insight.

In Part Two of our two-part series on The Light Chasers, I'm diving deep into the light side of seeking growth, healing, and transformation. While Part One explored the shadow — the hustle, the fixing, the endless pressure to “get it right” — today we flip the script. This episode is all about your gifts, your depth, and your unique brilliance as someone who is hungry for more in life. I talk about the resilience, empathy, wisdom, and intuition that come naturally to light chasers — and how these traits are your superpowers, not burdens. We explore what it means to step fully into your light, without chasing, hustling, or feeling like you're not enough.   You'll hear reflections on: Why your depth, empathy, and intuition are powerful tools for transformation. How your humour, insight, and natural leadership are part of your light. The difference between chasing the light and being the light. Practical steps for staying grounded, present, and anchored in your light even when you feel pressure, doubt, or comparison. How to remember that the lighthouse doesn't run around looking for boats to save — it simply shines. This episode is for the seekers, the old souls, the mentors, the leaders, the dreamers, and anyone who knows they're here to make a bigger impact, and is ready to embody their light fully.   Remember, your light is already within you. This episode is here to remind you of that, and to help you step fully into your brilliance — without force, without shame, just presence and alignment.

In today's episode, I'm opening up a two-part series that has been living inside me for a long time: The Dark Side of the Light Chasers. This is for those of us who are meant for big things — the seekers, the healers, the visionaries, the ones who genuinely care about being the best version of themselves. And because of that… we can easily fall into a sneaky patterns that no one really talks about. The endless healing loop. The pressure to be spiritually perfect. The belief that there's always something to fix. The feeling of being “almost ready” but never quite enough. In this episode, I'm talking about how the ego can dress up in spiritual language, how our self-growth becomes another form of self-judgment, and how easy it is to confuse “working on ourselves” with reinforcing the idea that something is wrong with us. This is an honest, grounded conversation about what happens when the path of healing becomes heavier than it needs to be — and how to recognize that moment where we stop chasing the light and start remembering: we already are the light. I can't wait to dive in!   Mentioned Books - Author Store - https://www.amazon.com/stores/Talia-Joy Clarity & Momentum Sessions: taliajoymanifestation.thrivecart.com/clarity

This week on Sustainability Now!, your host, Justin Mog, rips out his lawn for an exciting conversation with Becca Trueman, a local advocate for native plants who is engaged with Kentucky Watershed Watch and Wild Ones Louisville. She serves on the board of the Kentucky Conservation Committee and is a former supervisor for the Jefferson County Soil and Water Conservation District. She was a presenter at the October 17, 2025 Ohio River Confluence on the topic of “Planting for Change: Native Plants as a Catalyst for Restoration, Community, and Advocacy” (you can see her slides at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1reRX3EWIgie2k0AXBueCj3JbhUEQSRoJ/view?usp=sharing). Listen in as we discuss how native plants help connect people, nature, and community. Cultivating native plants is an easy way to make a difference at home and small gardens and local efforts inspire learning and connection. We dive into the role that programs and partnerships play in making it easier for people to get involved; how community, education, policy, and business all work together; and why supportive city and county rules matter for native landscapes. But we also dive into larger scale change such as how restoration and native plants can grow local economies; how small efforts add up to massive collective impact; and how the same ideas that guide big restoration projects also work in our own backyards.

A few years ago, industry and political leaders embraced hydrogen as a solution to a laundry list of hard-to-abate decarbonization challenges — steel production, ammonia production, and more. But hydrogen failed to come down in costs and policymakers pulled back support. Ultimately, the bubble burst.  So what does it take to drive down the costs of low-carbon hydrogen and rebuild momentum? In this episode, Shayle talks to Raffi Garabedian, co-founder and CEO of Electric Hydrogen. (Shayle is on the board of Electric Hydrogen and Energy Impact Partners, where Shayle is a partner, invests in the company). Shayle and Raffi cover topics like: Why the hype bubble burst: political pullback, high renewables costs driven by AI demand, and high CapEx  The real cost problem: Why engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) costs have remained persistently high Competing approaches: Why Electric Hydrogen chose supersized electrolyzers over modular units The China question: Why hydrogen's EPC costs will limit the impact of cheap Chinese electrolyzers Real numbers: Realistic cost targets for fossil parity and Electric Hydrogen's current pricing Where hydrogen wins: Markets where Raffi says green hydrogen can achieve fossil parity by the early 2030s, including Brazilian fertilizer Resources: Latitude Media: is 45v guidance killing green hydrogen production? The Green Blueprint: Electric Hydrogen's bet on supersized electrolyzers Latitude Media: Electric Hydrogen is building through the market downturn   Latitude Media: Hydrogen's narrow pathway to positive climate impacts   Latitude Media: Why the Electric Hydrogen-Ambient merger is a sign of things to come Fill out our short podcast listener survey for a chance to win a $100 Amazon gift card.

In this deeply moving and perspective-shifting episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I sit down with John O'Leary, a bestselling author, motivational speaker, and burn survivor whose life is a testament to the power of resilience, hope, and radical love. At age nine, John suffered severe burns across 100% of his body. He wasn't supposed to live. But not only did he survive—he became one of the most impactful voices inspiring people to live fully, love deeply, and lead fearlessly.   John and I talk about what truly matters in life, the legacy we leave through small, consistent acts of presence, and how pain—when faced with faith and courage—can become the very tool that transforms us into the fathers and husbands we were meant to be. This isn't just an episode about overcoming—it's about becoming.     EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS [0:00] – Introduction [1:45] – The moment that changed John's life forever [4:18] – How his parents showed up during trauma and why it shaped him [7:32] – The role of forgiveness in healing deep wounds [10:06] – Why pain isn't the enemy—but a bridge to deeper purpose [13:14] – John's perspective on legacy and the value of being there [17:05] – The power of small, consistent actions over grand gestures [21:38] – Loving your spouse through service and sacrifice [25:12] – Raising kids who are resilient, grateful, and grounded [28:59] – The single most powerful lesson John learned from his father [32:30] – A challenge for every dad listening: What are you really living for?     5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   Pain Can Be a Catalyst, Not a Curse: John's story proves that life's most devastating moments can forge our deepest character and call us to higher purpose if we choose to face them with courage. Legacy Is Built in Presence, Not Perfection: His parents' unwavering presence—especially during trauma—taught him that how we show up in the hardest times says everything about who we are. Love Is Action, Not Just Intention: Whether it's in marriage or parenting, love must be expressed through service, sacrifice, and consistency—not just feelings or words. Our Kids Learn More from Observation Than Instruction: John learned resilience, discipline, and deep love not by being told what to do, but by watching how his parents lived during the toughest seasons. You Were Meant to Live Fully, Not Just Survive: Every dad has the opportunity—and responsibility—to stop sleepwalking through life and start leading intentionally with love, clarity, and vision.       LINKS & RESOURCES   Learn more about John O'Leary – https://johnolearyinspires.com 25 Questions to Spark Connection – https://thedadedge.com/25questions More Podcast Episodes – https://thedadedge.com/podcast The Dad Edge Boardroom Mastermind - thedadedge.com/mastermind Shownotes for this episode: thedadedge.com/1397     If this conversation sparked something in you, share it with a fellow dad who needs this message.
