How to nurture the best in people with consistency and be remembered for what matters. This is going to be a different episode about a cake my nan used to make. But isn't just a story about cake. It's about the difference between control and nurture. My school thought resilience came from forcing kids to clear their plates (even if they ended up vomitting). They were wrong. My Nan knew that real strength comes from consistency. She made me the same pineapple upside-down cake every time I visited for a decade. Even when she went blind, she kept creating. She was an entrepreneur, an artist, and the village baker. She taught me that you don't build character by breaking someone's spirit. You build it by showing up. By paying attention. By finding the one thing they can stomach and giving it to them again and again. Nurture over control: You get more out of people by supporting their quirks than forcing compliance. Consistency is love: Showing up the same way for years builds more trust than grand gestures. Create despite limits: My Nan went blind and kept making things; focus on what you can do. Listen to learn how a simple cake became a masterclass in leadership and love. SPONSORS

Christmas tree fires are frightening, but they're not the leading cause of house fires in the U.S. What's surprising is how many fires start from everyday habits and household choices most people never think twice about. This episode begins with a look at several common yet overlooked causes of home fires. Source: https://www.bobvila.com/articles/fire-safety/#.Viz3ILerTIU We alter our own memories far more than we realize. We forget details, highlight the good parts, and unintentionally distort events over time. Now scientists are exploring how to deliberately modify specific memories — softening painful recollections and strengthening positive ones. Steve Ramirez explains how memory really works and where this groundbreaking research is headed. He is an associate professor of psychological and brain sciences at Boston University, a TED speaker, and author of How to Change a Memory: One Neuroscientist's Quest to Alter the Past (https://amzn.to/3KFiLJp). Wildlife encounters seem to be increasing — bears on porches, coyotes in yards, bobcats strolling down suburban streets. Are these animals getting more comfortable with humans? Are we building into their territory? And what should you actually do during a close encounter? Randi Minetor, author of more than 90 books including The Bear at the Bird Feeder: Why We're Seeing More Wild Animals in Our Neighborhoods and How We Can Live in Harmony with Them (https://amzn.to/4pHy5UM), offers insight and practical advice. Seeing flashing police lights in your rearview mirror is enough to make anyone nervous. Once you're pulled over, what should you do — and just as important, what should you not do — when the officer approaches your window? We wrap up with key tips to help keep the encounter calm and trouble-free. Source: https://www.aamva.org/law-enforcement/what-to-do-when-stopped-by-law-enforcement PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!

We're closing out our 10-part Wellness Series with a conversation that couldn't feel more fitting. Today's guest is my friend Brad Stulberg, who returns to the podcast to talk about his new book, The Way of Excellence: A Guide to True Greatness and Deep Satisfaction in a Chaotic World. I read this book over the past couple of months and finished it on the plane heading to a busy week of interviews at the running event, and I genuinely felt more grounded and prepared because of it. Brad has been on the show many times, and I always leave our conversations with tangible takeaways for how to live and lead better. He's the author of The Practice of Groundedness, Master of Change, Peak Performance, and The Passion Paradox, and he brings such a thoughtful, practical lens to ambition, growth, and fulfillment. In this episode, we talk about caring deeply, the inevitability of failure, and why caring, even when it opens us up to heartbreak, is still worth it. We also touch on goal setting as we head into a new year and how to think about excellence in a way that's sustainable and meaningful. I hope you love this conversation as much as I did and that it leaves you feeling encouraged as we wrap up this series. Check out Brad’s work and pre order his newest book at BradStulberg.com What we talked about: December as a natural season for reflection, and the tension of “ramping down” while launching something big The Way of Excellence and how excellence can be a mindset you practice, not just an outcome you achieve “Brave New World” as a fear-to-curiosity reframe for big moments (races, interviews, parenting, hard lifts) Curiosity vs fear, and why curiosity helps you perform better (and feel better) under pressure Caring deeply as the cost of stepping into the arena, and why “too cool to care” is actually insecurity Excellence as heartfelt (not robotic) and a critique of “pseudo excellence” culture and optimization obsession Cold plunges and “hacks”: what's legit, what's hype, and when hard things are useful vs unnecessary Identity and the “house with rooms” metaphor (runner, parent, creative, partner) so one setback doesn't collapse your whole sense of self Reading vs short-form video for attention, cognition, and emotional health, plus habits that support focus New Year goals: why resolutions fail, and how values-based goal setting helps you climb the right mountain Sponsors: Eternal This entire Wellness Series has been made possible by Eternal, a science-backed preventative health company for people who take their health and training seriously.

If HR wants to evolve, doing things the same way year after year won't cut it.  Change requires bold, new strategies. In this episode of HR Superstars, Karina Young is joined by Crystal Boysen, Chief People Officer at Sprout Social, to challenge traditional HR thinking around risk, planning, and employee value. Crystal discusses why fear-based policies and over-engineered processes create friction instead of trust. She also shares how HR leaders can design systems that help people move faster, with more clarity and confidence. She explains why strategy often fails, not because the plan is wrong, but because organizations never change how work actually gets done. This episode calls on HR leaders to let go of a risk-averse mindset and embrace a more adaptive, people-first approach. Join us as we discuss: (00:00) Meet HR Superstar: Crystal Boysen (06:08) Creating an environment where teams feel safe enough to learn (11:06) A different approach to planning cycles (15:39) Why strategy is not a fixed plan (20:08) What today's employees expect beyond pay and benefits (38:10) Crystal's bold move for 2026 Resources: For the entire interview, subscribe to HR Superstars on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube, or tune in on our website.

Hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros challenge why so many people work hard yet fail to see real progress in self-improvement. Discipline is not the problem. Consistency is not the problem. The real issue shows up in how decisions are made when no one is watching.This episode cuts through surface-level personal development and focuses on the thinking patterns that quietly determine long-term outcomes. If you care about making better decisions, building consistency that lasts, and growing with intention instead of urgency, this conversation will sharpen how you approach self-improvement.Listen closely. Then ask yourself if your daily choices are actually taking you where you say you want to go._______________________Learn more about:Join our private Facebook community, “Next Level Nation,” to grow alongside people who are committed to improvement. - https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700The “Next Level Hope Foundation” creates meaningful experiences for kids growing up without a father figure and builds a positive, supportive community around them.To support this event, you can donate here: https://gofund.me/5c6abcf7f_______________________NLU is not just a podcast; it's a gateway to a wealth of resources designed to help you achieve your goals and dreams.

In general, humans as a species have a fair amount of self-awareness. And if we're honest, we all know our weak points. Those places where character is lacking a bit.One of our biggest weaknesses is that we just want stuff. Bigger house, more expensive car—that kind of thing. In those moments, we're missing out on a big prize. Our focus is wrong.Matthew 6:33 says, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”The Bible—the Word of God itself—shows exactly what our priorities should be. God knows us far better than we could ever know ourselves, and He tells us that we have it exactly backwards. We look for the stuff, and then tack on the God stuff later. In fact, turn that around and that's how we should be doing life. Look for God first, and then later He'll give us the desires of our heart. Because our hearts will then be aligned with His perfect will for our lives.Try this approach, and see if it works for you. What we'll also find as a bonus is peace that the world can't give us…that stuff can't give us. When you seek first a relationship with your Creator, you find that material possessions are no substitute for knowing Him.Let's pray.Lord, thank you for our relationship with you. Thank you for loving us through our sin. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

“Long before Black people mattered in America, they mattered in Detroit.” That line alone sets the tone for this powerful Detroit is Different conversation with Joe Louis Barrow II, founder of Joe Louis Southern Kitchen and son of the Brown Bomber himself. In this episode, Barrow reflects on Detroit as sacred ground for Black legacy—where the Great Migration, Black Bottom, industrial labor, women's liberation, and quiet acts of resistance all converged to shape Black America's past and future. He shares how Detroit didn't just celebrate Joe Louis the fighter, but protected and preserved Joe Louis the man, keeping his legacy alive seventy years after he left the ring. Barrow speaks candidly about entrepreneurship as community responsibility, reminding us that his father “was never seeking attention—he wanted people to see themselves in him.” From boxing to business, from activism done quietly to food done with love, this conversation traces how legacy isn't about nostalgia—it's about modeling possibility. Joe Louis Southern Kitchen becomes more than a restaurant; it's a living porch, a gathering place where generations sit together, taste memory, and pass down values. This episode connects Detroit's history of dignity, labor, and Black excellence to a future rooted in community, patience, and hope—because as Barrow reminds us, “Change is not possible without hope.” Detroit is Different is a podcast hosted by Khary Frazier covering people adding to the culture of an American Classic city.

Margo Tantau is joined by artist, tax expert, and founder of Sunlight Tax, Hannah Cole, for a refreshingly human conversation about money, creativity, and her new book, Taxes for Humans: Simplify Your Taxes and Change the World When You're Self-Employed. Hannah brings compassion, clarity, and humor to a topic many creatives carry shame, fear, or confusion around—and reframes taxes as something that can actually support creative, mission-driven work rather than stifle it. Margo and Hannah discuss: Why creative work is economically vital and plays a real role in shaping culture How the tax system is designed for humans—not perfection—and includes room for forgiveness Simple, realistic systems that make taxes easier for self-employed creatives Tax incentives that actually exist to support artists and independent workers How money shame shows up for creatives, and why it's completely normal Why making mistakes with taxes doesn't mean you're "bad at money" How compassion and clarity can coexist with practical financial systems Connect with Hannah: Book + Workbook: https://www.sunlighttax.com/book Website: https://www.sunlighttax.com Instagram / YouTube / LinkedIn: @sunlighttax Connect with Margo: Website: www.windowsillchats.com Instagram: @windowsillchats www.patreon.com/inthewindowsill https://www.yourtantaustudio.com/thefoundry

Growth gets real when effort meets reality. In today's episode, Kevin and Alan strip away a comfortable idea in self-improvement that sounds right but quietly caps results. Consistency matters. Personal development matters. But progress stalls when discipline disconnects from real-world decision-making.This is a grounded conversation about long-term growth, identity, and what actually drives performance over time. No hype. No shortcuts. Just a clear look at how serious self-improvement works when pressure, competition, and standards are real. If you care about building consistency that lasts and making decisions that compound, this episode will sharpen how you think. Listen closely. This one separates intention from execution._______________________Learn more about:Your first 30-minute “Business Breakthrough Session” call with Alan is FREE.

Does your life feel out of control? Are you experiencing that common feeling of weaving down a busy highway, about to crash?It's a metaphor for life that a lot of folks internalize at some point. All of a sudden, what you were sure of isn't there anymore. You might as well be behind the wheel of a fast car that's heading straight into oncoming traffic.1 Peter 5:7 says, “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.”This isn't some nice little bit of wisdom someone put on a greeting card. This is the very Word of God. It has sustained civilization for thousands of years. And it's a proven method for getting your life under control. It doesn't work though, unless you can see Jesus taking the wheel. Let Him get you to safety and peace. He's ready and waiting to take all your worries and set you on a smooth and straight path.Will you pray with me?Lord, feeling out of control is not something we want anymore. Please take over and guide us, Lord, in your perfect ways. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

Are you enjoying your body? If not, what is stopping you? In this episode of Choice, Change and Action, Simone Milasas is interviewed by Eri Vasquez about new beginnings with your body, as part of the What Do Our Bodies Know Facebook series on the Access Consciousness Facebook Page. Imagine what it would be like to wake up every day with a new beginning instead of a reference point of what you've decided you should be. To no longer judge your body and to go through your day asking questions and choosing with your body rather than against it and trying to force it and control it. What could that create?  Listen to this episode to stop excluding your body and start including your body.  Questions And Tools: "What else is possible? Dear Universe, show me." "Body, what are you telling me that I'm not willing to listen to?" "What is this? Body, show me." "What would it take for this not to impact my body?" "What am I gaining from this?" "What's right about this I'm not getting?" "What can I choose today that would allow me to enjoy my body?" "Who am I today and what grand and glorious adventures can we have?" "All of life comes to us with ease and joy and glory."  "What contribution can the entirety of the universe be to me and my body?" "Body, will you please contribute to …(my financial reality/this business/etc)." Tools for aches and pains Who or what are you aware of? Return it to sender and dissipate it into the Earth. "I'm so sorry, body. I'm not as smart as you. Is there another way you could show me this?"

In this episode of Business Brain, you're challenged to stop waiting for perfect conditions and start before you feel ready. You don't need every system built or every detail nailed down to make an offer and move forward. You learn why perfection slows momentum, how action creates clarity, and why progress beats polish every time. This mindset shift helps you build confidence, traction, and revenue faster—without getting stuck preparing forever instead of doing. You also explore demand avoidance and the subtle danger of the comfort zone. When things feel easy or familiar, it might actually be a warning sign that you're not stretching far enough. You're reminded that simple tools and clear tracking can keep you honest, focused, and growing. By leaning into a little discomfort and embracing structure, you give yourself the best chance at building a business—and a Charmed Life—on your terms. 00:00:00 Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs' Podcast #710 for Wednesday, December 17th, 2025 December 17th: National Maple Syrup Day 00:02:05 Start Before You're Ready I don't have an email list… but here's an offer and I'll eventually send you email.

"The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another."― William James Check Out These Highlights:   During today's episode, my guest and I will explore why darker days affect mood, how we can take accountability for healing, and how true healing begins when we take ownership of our energy and intentionally create joy from within. We will examine how micro-moments of gratitude boost energy and reduce rumination during the winter months. She will also share the stress-to-steadiness toolkit, using brief phrases before tough moments (morning rush, work stress, bedtime) to lower anxiety and boost resilience. About Johanna Laurent:  Johanna is the founder of Positive Phrases—a movement born out of her deep belief in the power of words to heal, uplift, and transform lives. Raised in Brooklyn, Johanna learned early on the strength of resilience, the importance of gratitude, and the beauty of sharing positivity with others. That desire to pay life's goodness forward led her to launch Positive Phrases, which continues to grow every day—one empowering message at a time.

Knowing Your Limits: When to Hold and When to Push Onward I'm recording this episode from a place that looks very different than my usual setup. We're away on a family getaway that was supposed to be a snowy ski vacation, but when I look outside, all I see are brown mountains and sunshine. Not exactly the winter wonderland we imagined. Still, we're here, together, enjoying the time, and as the year winds down and the holidays rush in, I felt like this was the perfect moment to pause and share something that's been sitting heavy—and meaningful—on my heart. As you know, I tend to share lessons I'm actively learning myself, and this week's lesson came straight from the ski slopes. I ski as an amputee. I ski on one leg, using outriggers, and while it looks empowering and inspiring in photos and videos, the truth is that it is anything but easy. Every single time I clip in, no matter how long I've been doing this, I still get butterflies. I still hope my body will hold up. I still pray for the best outcome and for enough strength to get me down the mountain safely. I've always been someone who pushes hard. When I lost my leg in December of 2018, I got my first prosthetic in late March and barely had time to adjust before we were headed on a family ski trip in April. I had planned to sit on the sidelines, but I told my husband early on that I wanted to try skiing as an amputee. That trip was my first time learning to ski as a three-tracker—one ski on my sound leg and two outriggers with tiny skis on the ends. It was intense. It demanded everything from my good leg, my core, my upper body, and my mental focus. Fast forward to now, and while I have more experience, I also have more wisdom. Yesterday, I went out for my first run of this trip, and it was a long one. I chose a blue run instead of the easier option, and I pushed myself hard. I made it down without falling, and I was proud of that—but my body was absolutely fried. My quad, calf, foot arch, hands, and shoulders were screaming. My grip on the outriggers was barely there, and I knew that if I went again, fatigue could turn into injury. The old version of me—five or six years ago—would have pushed through anyway. I would have ignored the warning signs and kept going. But yesterday, something different happened. I looked at my husband and said, “I'm done. I want to end on a high note.” And that was enough. Self-preservation won, and for the first time in a long time, I listened to my body without guilt. That decision mattered more than I realized in the moment. Because what I'm learning—and what I want you to hear—is that your best in this moment doesn't have to be your best ever. Your best is enough when it honors where you are right now. Strength isn't always pushing harder. Sometimes strength is knowing when to stop. As amputees, our bodies are constantly negotiating limits. When you rely on one good leg, you have to be mindful of how far you push before fatigue compromises safety. Yesterday, my head wanted more, but my body was very clear: this was enough. And instead of feeling defeated, I chose to feel proud. What you don't see in highlight videos is the pain, the fear, the intense focus it takes to stay upright and in control. You don't see the internal battle between wanting to prove yourself and needing to protect yourself. And that's something I think so many of us struggle with—especially when we compare ourselves to others or even to past versions of ourselves. This year, I'm not the same person I was last spring when I was in great shape, hitting the gym, and doing one-legged squats. I had revision surgery this summer. I've been learning a new socket, adapting to a new prosthetic, and giving my body time to heal. That meant less time training and more time resting. And while rest came at the cost of muscle mass and endurance, it also gave me other gifts—healing, reflection, time at home, time with my animals, and space to process everything my body has been through. We are not static beings. Even with the same injury, we are different depending on the season of life we're in. And during the holidays especially, it's easy to beat yourself up for not doing “enough.” But the truth is, everyone's circumstances are different. Some of you can't get to the gym. Some of you are waiting on a fitting, a surgery, or relief from pain. Some days, just breathing is the win—and that is okay. I know amputees who avoid connecting with others because they feel like they're falling short. My message to you is this: do what you can with what you have, where you are. Comparison steals joy and progress. The valley you're in right now does not dictate the rest of your life. If you're disappointed in yourself because you know you can do more and you're choosing not to, then have that honest conversation with yourself and start shifting your mindset. Change the internal dialogue. Set goals. Dream again. But if you're in a season of healing, pain, or waiting, give yourself grace. This moment is not permanent. Yesterday, I skied one run—and that one run was enough. I walked away proud, safe, and encouraged instead of broken down and discouraged. Tomorrow, I'll go out again with confidence and clarity. And when spring comes, I know exactly what I need to do to be stronger. Being an amputee is hard. Some days are brutal. But you are not failing because you rest, and you are not weak because you pause. Be proud of where you are. Be proud of your scars. Know that you are doing the best you can with the situation you've been given—and that is enough. This season will pass. Keep moving forward. Keep honoring your body. And remember, the warrior within you doesn't disappear when you slow down—it grows wiser. I hope you have a beautiful holiday season. And I'll be back again soon before this year comes to a close. And as always, Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!!! Much love,

In today's POD256, we opened with a timely update on the Change.org petition to pardon Samourai Wallet developers Bill and Keonne. We dug into confusing verification flows, the low conversion rate from views to valid signatures, why pseudonyms and disposable emails are allowed, and why donations on Change.org don't reach the families; direct support should go to GiveSendGo. We also covered the growing media push, the reported acknowledgment from President Trump, and counter-narratives forming in the broader media. From there, we pivoted into mining: BitCrane and Addit boards for S19/Whatsminer control, Mujina support, 120V PSU unlocks, and heat-reuse projects. We previewed our Telehash fundraiser and HydraPool setup for NEMS, discussed pool trust and verification (including scam pools and coinbase-checking tools), OCEAN's decentralization claims, and why share-chain style P2Pool v2 matters. We wrapped with open hardware manufacturing updates (pick-and-place triumphs and solder paste woes), Heatbit's new radiant “Canvas” miner, and practical self-hosting lessons; closing with a call to action to sign the Samourai petition and keep the pressure on while the window remains open.

On episode 351 we're joined by my friend Jim Lorino, the artist formerly known as Scoopski, from Philadelphia. I've known Jim since the early days of the podcast, and it's great to have him back. This time, he's here with his new band, DelCobras, a three-headed Power Pop monster that's slithering onto the Philly rock scene in 2025, the Year of the Snake apparently. DelCobras features Jim “Scoops” Lorino, Marc Schuster, and Nick Cervini — all three of whom sat down for this conversation. The band grew out of the live lineup of Scoops, and after an incredible year of shows, the trio decided to shed their old skin, and strike with a tighter, more aggressive sound. On the episode I featured their fresh take on the holiday classic “Last Christmas,” plus the non-seasonal rocker “Someday Soon” — both available wherever you stream music. In the episode, we dive into how DelCobras came together, talk all things Philly, and hear about their recent gig at a Christmas parade. It was a fun chat with plenty of local music philly brotherly love. Big thanks to Jim, Marc, and Nick for coming on, and huge thanks to all of you for listening and supporting independent artists. Change can be scary… but don't fear the cobra.

This book changed Seth's life and it will help you too! In todays ep of Anatomy of Change podcast, Seth hangs out with Hal Elrod, author of The Miracle Morning, discussing the transformative power of morning routines and personal growth. They explore the SAVERS method, the importance of affirmations, visualization techniques, and the necessity of acceptance in overcoming adversity. Hal shares personal stories of resilience, including his battle with cancer and the lessons learned from his experiences. The conversation emphasizes the potential for change within everyone and the tools available to facilitate that change. Takeaways The Miracle Morning is a six-part routine that sets the tone for the day. Acceptance is crucial for emotional freedom and overcoming adversity. Affirmations should be rooted in truth and clarity about one's commitments. Visualization is about mentally rehearsing the actions needed to achieve goals. Resistance to reality causes emotional pain; acceptance leads to peace. Everyone has the potential to change their life regardless of past beliefs. The SAVERS method includes silence, affirmations, visualization, exercise, reading, and scribing. Gratitude should be heartfelt, not just intellectual. Daily practices can lead to significant personal growth over time. Community and support are vital in the journey of change. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Third-Quarter Meltdown at SoFi The Detroit Lions had a halftime lead at SoFi and left with a lesson. The NFL punishes teams that nap after the break, and the third quarter did the damage. Three straight three-and-outs. Short fields for Los Angeles. The defense buckled. The Rams took whatever they wanted. A slip in the postgame summed it up, calling it a three-quarter game before catching it. That is how it played. The game swung in 15 minutes, and the Lions could not claw back. This was not a one-off blip. It mirrored the recent pattern. Since early October the Lions have whipsawed win to loss to win again. The common thread is the third quarter and the struggle to steady the wheel when the script flips. Against the Rams, the reset out of the locker room never came. The Lions waited until the fourth to find rhythm. Too late. Identity Crisis on Offense The Detroit Lions offense lacks a reliable backbone. In the first half, they found it. David Montgomery churned tough yards. Six carries. Thirty-one yards. Early-down success. Manageable thirds. That is how you protect your quarterback against a strong Rams front and a top scoring defense. Then halftime hit, and the plan dissolved. Early-down chuck and duck. Long thirds. Montgomery vanished. Jahmyr Gibbs struggled to dent the wall. The approach drifted from what worked to what played into Los Angeles' hands. The play-caller change was supposed to clarify things. The overall numbers still look fine on paper, especially scoring. But how the Lions get there shifts week to week and quarter to quarter. That is why the roller coaster persists. This team needs a repeatable core idea. Run to set terms. Stay on schedule. Use play action off that. Until the Lions lock into that, the variance will keep biting good game plans in half. Trenches in Trouble Grey underscores the most urgent problem - the offensive line. Tristan Colon is not the answer at left guard. The film and the result say it. If Christian Mahogany is not ready, Miles Frasier has to be the next man up. Graham Glasgow is gutting it out. Taylor Decker is playing through a shoulder. Penei Sewell gets his ankle wrapped every week while carrying the load. The unit is battered, and it shows when the rotation hits the bottom of the depth chart. The offseason priority is clear, but December is here. Protection and the run game are the lifelines for the identity this offense keeps misplacing. Get Montgomery back in early. Make life simpler for everyone across the front. Pass Rush Plan and Secondary Strain The defensive line plan needs a reset. Time to pressure is among the league's worst, and it played out in Los Angeles. Aidan Hutchinson leads in pressures, but they arrive late. That invites disaster for a man-coverage secondary. Puka Nacua and the Rams feasted while Matthew Stafford sat clean and patient. You cannot ask corners to shadow NFL separators for that long and expect a win rate. Fix it with design, not just effort. Heat early. Change launch points. Win on first down to unlock the rush. If the front speeds up the clock, the coverage can breathe. If not, the Lions will keep chasing games they should control. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xb1cCPeMh-U #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #third-quartermeltdown #threestraightthree-and-outs #shortfieldsforlosangeles #ramsfront #topscoringdefense #offensivelinedepth #tristancolon #davidmontgomery #jahmyrgibbs #aidanhutchinson Learn more about your ad choices.

Feeling stuck in survival mode—skipping workouts, stress-snacking, sleeping less, and calling it "good enough"? In this fireside chat, we unpack how that bar quietly drops and what to do when "good enough" stops being enough. You'll learn how to spot the red flags, reframe your mindset, and raise your floor with small shifts that actually stick during busy seasons and the holidays. We riff on five everyday arenas where standards slip—and how to course-correct without perfectionism: Food noise vs food joy: enjoy treats on purpose, not by accident The good-enough workout: protect the appointment, adjust the dose Morning light vs winter blues: use light as a free energy reset Stress vs rest at family gatherings: step-out rituals that save your tone Gratitude as a reset: one specific thank-you that changes your day‍ Plus, we show you how to use habit anchors to make consistency automatic and craft a one-line floor statement you can run for the next 7 days.‍ APPLY FOR COACHING: https://www.lvltncoaching.com/1-1-coaching SDE Method app: https://www.lvltncoaching.com/sde-method-app The Fitness League Waiting List https://u3rwk.share.hsforms.com/2rkAwsFntTAeZ__PxwXdr4Q Macros Guide https://www.lvltncoaching.com/free-resources/calculate-your-macros Join the Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/lvltncoaching FREE TOOLS to start your health and fitness journey: https://www.lvltncoaching.com/resources/freebies Alessandra's Instagram: http://instagram.com/alessandrascutnik Joelle's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joellesamantha?igsh=ZnVhZjFjczN0OTdn Josh's Instagram: http://instagram.com/joshscutnik Chapters: 00:00 The Drift into Survival Mode 03:19 Recognizing the Red Flags 09:06 The All-or-Nothing Mentality 12:59 Finding Balance in a Busy Life 16:06 Morning Routines and Alarm Strategies 18:12 Setting Boundaries: Floors and Ceilings in Life 19:10 Food Awareness: Noise vs. Joy 22:19 Adapting Workouts: Embracing Change 23:41 Light Exposure: Combatting Winter Blues 24:39 Navigating Family Gatherings: Stress vs. Rest 25:33 Gratitude as a Daily Reset 26:32 Habit Anchors: Small Changes, Big Impact 29:58 Self-Audit: Recognizing Good Enough 34:43 Small Upgrades for Big Benefits 37:20 Awareness and Action: The Path to Change

We've all rolled our eyes at someone's behavior, only to realize, uncomfortably, that we've done the same. Join Yael in this conversation discussing this very common human experience with Michael Hallsworth, the author of The Hypocrisy Trap. Michael breaks down the nature of hypocrisy, including its historical origin and why it is such a prevalent issue in our lives and in politics. You'll also hear how societal norms and personal biases can play into our confrontations with hypocrisy and take away effective strategies to minimize it in your daily interactions. Check it out if you want a new take on this age-old problem and why understanding it can lead to more authentic and trusting relationships. Listen and Learn:Understanding hypocrisy as a judgment we make about inconsistencies The surprising origin of the word “hypocrite” and how its meaning evolvedWhy hypocrisy isn't always bad and how to balance consistency and context in our actionsHow calling out hypocrisy can backfire, creating more of it, and making the term lose meaning, while revealing surprising insights about human behaviorWhy we're often blind to our own double standards in relationships and how our perception of intentions gives us more leniency for ourselves than for othersWhy a level of hypocrisy is inevitable in democratic politicsIs tolerating some political and personal hypocrisy necessary, even when it feels uncomfortable to do so?Strategies to understand, reduce, and respond to hypocrisy, and learning why shifting how we view inconsistency can lead to less cynicism and more meaningful changeResourcesMichael's Website: https://www.michaelhallsworth.com/The Hypocrisy Trap: How Changing What We Criticize Can Improve Our Lives on Bookshop: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780262050944 The Hypocrisy Trap on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Hypocrisy-Trap-Changing-Criticize-Improve Practical Wisdom by Kenneth Sharpe and Barry Schwartz: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781594485435 About Michael HallsworthDr. Michael Hallsworth, author of The Hypocrisy Trap.

Why does fulfillment feel so hard to define, and even harder to maintain?In this episode, Kevin and Alan break down why personal development without alignment eventually stalls. Fulfillment is not a reward for working harder. It is the result of consistent decisions, honest self-awareness, and staying committed to meaningful work long after the excitement fades. This episode is for anyone focused on self-improvement, consistency, and long-term growth, not quick motivation.

A boat is safe in the harbor. But that is not what boats are built for. We tend to view our lives as a single, continuous narrative. But in reality, we are a series of temporary selves, each with a distinct beginning and end. The teenager who dreams of adventure is not the same as the retiree who seeks comfort. When we defer our dreams, we aren't saving them for later; we are denying them to the person we are right now. This episode explores the "Regret Minimization Framework"—a tool for navigating the uncertainty of the future. We discuss the difference between "peak experiences" and "plateau experiences" and why wisdom lies in knowing the difference. The question isn't how much money you leave behind, but how much life you leave unlived. Actionable Takeaways: Time Bucketing: Allocate specific experiences to the specific decades of your life where they belong. The Cost of Inaction: Recognize that the safe choice often carries the highest hidden cost—regret. Live with Urgency: Embrace the impermanence of your current self to fuel meaningful action today. Decide today which version of yourself deserves to be fully realized before it's too late. SPONSORS

In a world that often rewards silence over truth, this conversation invites us into the radical possibility that courage can be compassionate and compassion can be ferocious. Sandra Bargman joins Amy to explore how choosing authenticity over approval transforms the way we lead, speak up and refuse the quiet self-betrayal that so many of us have normalized. Together they peel back the layers of social conditioning, especially for women and leaders, and show how the simple act of pausing, breathing and telling the truth becomes a liberating spiritual practice. This episode reminds us that real compassion begins with ourselves and that the courage to be disliked is sometimes the most loving choice we can make.Key Takeaways:The Paradox of Ferocious Compassion - Learn how strength and tenderness can coexist and why true compassion sometimes requires uncomfortable honesty.Why Self-Betrayal Happens in Leadership - See how people pleasing, approval seeking and silence accumulate and undermine your integrity and confidence.The Courage to Be Disliked - Discover why speaking your truth is an act of self respect and how developing this muscle changes every room you walk into.Reclaiming Your Voice in Moments That Catch You Off Guard - Find approaches for pausing, breathing and responding instead of freezing, laughing it off or internalizing harm.Confrontation as Presence, Not Conflict - Understand how facing a moment directly, without attack or avoidance, becomes a deep expression of integrity.Practicing Boundaries With Compassion - Explore ways to assess your safety, values and intentions so you can decide when to stay, when to speak and when to walk away.About the Guest: Sandra Bargman helps leaders unlock truthful presence with a blend of vocal mastery, storytelling skill, and deep emotional intelligence. Drawing from decades as an actor, singer, director, and life counselor, she teaches people to express themselves with clarity, authenticity, and intention. Her holistic B.I.G.

In this festive and wide-ranging episode of Culture of Change, Ashe in America and Abbey Blue Eyes are joined by special guest GMoney for a provocative conversation that asks a simple but loaded question: would there be Christmas in G-Topia? From there, the discussion expands into privacy, sovereignty, the NDAA, shadow crypto banks, and the future of decentralized systems. GMoney lays out his vision for a voluntary, incentive-driven society built on Bitcoin, open-source technology, and personal choice, while the hosts challenge, question, and explore the moral, cultural, and spiritual implications of such a world. Along the way, they tackle government overreach, financial surveillance, censorship, and the role of emerging technologies in shaping humanity's future, all while keeping the tone lively, curious, and unapologetically honest. This episode blends holiday spirit with hard questions about freedom, control, and what a truly human-centered future might look like.
