Andrea picked 2017's A Harvest Wedding for her favorite fall rewatch, and Eric came along to see if Victor Webster and Jill Wagner's farm set romance still holds up. Andrea gives it a full five out of five. Eric has a longer list of questions about crop rotation, barn maintenance, and a farmer somehow growing seventeen different vegetables, but both of them agree the ending is one of the more surprising Hallmark has ever pulled off.What You'll Hear:• The recap: a rising New York wedding planner gets hired to plan a wedding back in her hometown, on the farm run by her first love• Andrea's five out of five rating, and every reason the farm itself doesn't hold up as a real working farm• Eric's take on Victor Webster's effortless charm versus a harvest timeline that makes no agricultural sense• Why Jill Wagner's character comes in a little too bossy before she softens up• Marcus Rosner and Marin McMahon's turns as scene stealing side characters• The coffee cup and whipped cream moment, and the ending twist that breaks Hallmark's usual small town formula• Comparisons to Autumn Dreams, Love Fall and Order, and Hearts of Winter, another Webster and Wagner pairing• Trivia on the stock footage driving scene, the suspiciously green corn stalks, and Victor Webster's 1998 Cosmopolitan cameo0:00 - Intro & Andrea's Pick: A Harvest Wedding1:20 - The Recap: A Wedding Planner Comes Home3:00 - Meet the Cast (and a Signed, Sealed, Delivered Mix-Up)4:15 - Andrea's Rating and the Working Farm Plot Holes8:00 - Eric's Take: Victor's Charm vs. the Five-Day Harvest11:00 - What Didn't Work: The Magazine, the Conflict, and Bossy Bride Energy14:00 - Standout Side Characters: Marcus Rosner and Emma16:30 - The Romance: Whipped Cream Noses and a Surprise Ending19:30 - Similar Movies: Autumn Dreams, Love Fall and Order, Hearts of Winter21:00 - Trivia: Stock Footage, Green Corn, and Victor's Cosmo Moment22:15 - Coming Up Next WeekAndrea's calling this a comfort food five out of five.

What if low self-worth isn't something wrong with you—but your mind protecting you from being hurt again? AJ sits down with psychologist Dr. Marisa G. Franco to explore how past experiences shape the way we see ourselves, receive love, and react in relationships. They unpack why compliments can actually feel threatening, how unresolved “open memories” keep the past alive in the present, and why chasing confidence through achievement, validation, or attachment labels rarely heals the deeper issue. You'll learn a practical exercise for changing how painful memories live inside you, what to do when your body is triggered by something you can't consciously remember, and why acknowledging insecurity can actually be a sign of healthy self-worth. The goal isn't to eliminate difficult emotions—it's to stop abandoning yourself when they appear.

We watched Netflix's Death of the Pastor's Wife--a documentary about Mica Miller and the story surrounding her death.

Joe Adams welcomes back Jim Morris on the Relentless Pursuit Podcast (Ep. 208) for a wide-ranging conversation about integrity, connection, and legacy. Jim Morris watched his father pull a man out of a burning car after a police officer told him he shouldn't have. Years later he watched the same man lose himself to OxyContin while telling his son not to touch drugs.That contrast is where this conversation lives.In part one Jim told the story of the house he grew up in and the eighteen years he spent unable to ask anyone for help. This is the other half. What he built out of it, what it costs to hold a line, and the times he didn't.He talks about the road metaphor he uses for integrity, the dotted lines you drift across without noticing, and how the little compromises stack until the big one doesn't feel like one. He tells the story of the $200 he took from a man who had helped him. He talks about the coach who taught him to use photos of his own kids to close a sale, and about walking away from tens of thousands of dollars when he saw who someone really was off stage.And near the end, he answers a question about his father.Watch Episode 206 first if you haven't.

„Nu sunt un star.” A spus-o F.Charm și m-am gândit că, poate, tocmai asta mi-a plăcut mereu la el. Acum e pe cai mari, cu milioane de oameni care îi ascultă muzica, iar în el…. a rămas aceeași modestie. Și știu cât drum a fost până aici. Știu despre cele trei accidente din copilărie, despre perioada în care avea 10 lei în buzunar și trebuia să aleagă între ulei și cartofi, despre joburile pe care le-a făcut înainte să poată trăi din muzică și despre zilele în care stătea pe treptele unei case de discuri, așteptând să i se deschidă o ușă. Poate că tocmai asta m-a făcut să cred în el. Faptul că, atunci când muzica încă nu-i oferea nicio garanție, el continua să scrie, să încerce și să meargă înainte. Și uite-l azi. Exact acolo unde trebuia să ajungă.

You think you know why you make the choices you make. Your unconscious mind may have gotten there first. AJ and Johnny sit down with psychologist Glenn to explore the hidden forces behind temptation, habits, infidelity, and self-control. Glenn explains why willpower often fails when we repeatedly face powerful urges, how unconscious processes can drive behavior without consulting our values, and why we're surprisingly good at inventing explanations for decisions after we've already made them. You'll learn why changing your environment can be more effective than relying on self-control, how past experiences shape what feels rewarding, why rationalization often happens outside our awareness, and how love, attachment, and sexual desire can operate as separate systems. The conversation also explores what causes infidelity, why people can betray partners they genuinely love, and what rebuilding trust can look like afterward.

Being the smartest person in the room won't help your career if nobody remembers what you contributed when the decision gets made. AJ and Johnny break down why talented, analytical professionals often get passed over for promotions while less capable coworkers move ahead. The problem isn't necessarily skill—it's strategic visibility. They explain why staying quiet in the name of “authenticity” can make you invisible and why being seen doesn't require becoming louder, fake, or overly charismatic. You'll learn a simple three-step technique for creating “social gravity” in meetings: organize what's on the table, identify the decision everyone is actually trying to make, and propose a clear path forward. Instead of performing for attention, you become the person who cuts through the fog—and the person leadership starts bringing into important decisions earlier.

La Convention des Nations unies sur la lutte contre la désertification a réuni des représentants de 197 pays pendant deux semaines à Oulan-Bator, la capitale de la Mongolie. L'heure est grave : 40 % des terres émergées sont dégradées, plus de trois milliards de personnes sont affectées par la baisse des récoltes qui entraîne de l'insécurité alimentaire, de la pauvreté et de l'exode rural. Le thème de cette COP17 était : « Restaurer la terre, restaurer l'espoir »… Eh bien, c'est raté ! La seule bonne nouvelle est que cette convention va continuer à exister. Son budget est maintenu et la prochaine réunion aura lieu dans deux ans à Charm el-Cheikh en Égypte. Comment est-ce possible que les États n'aient pas réussi à se mobiliser à la hauteur de l'urgence de ce sujet crucial ? Nous allons vous expliquer cela avec notre invité. Et pour que vous compreniez bien les causes et les conséquences de la dégradation des terres, nous vous emmènerons en Mongolie où les deux tiers des sols sont dégradés (reportage d'Etienne Cholez). Avec l'éclairage d'Oumarou Malam Issa, directeur de recherches à l'IRD rattaché à l'Institut d'écologie et de sciences de l'environnement de Paris.  Musique diffusée dans l'émission : Mathias Duplessy – «Tcheren Deya » ÉclairageCOP 17: «Restaurer l'espoir» dans la lutte contre la désertification

We share neighborhood strolls, casual lobster shacks, and landmark lighthouse views, plus practical travel tips for first-timers.

Your emotions don't just change how you feel—they can change what you remember, how you judge other people, and even who you become in the moment. AJ sits down with behavioral economist George Loewenstein to explore the “empathy gap”: our surprising inability to predict how we'll think and behave when our emotional state changes. George explains why anger can distort judgment, rejection sensitivity becomes self-fulfilling, negative experiences outweigh positive ones, and the happiness we chase often disappears faster than we expect. You'll learn why high performers can still choke under pressure, why venting anger often makes it worse, how emotions influence self-esteem and relationships, and why you should never respond immediately to an email that makes you furious. This conversation offers a fascinating look at the hidden forces shaping our decisions—and why understanding our emotions doesn't always mean we can control them.

1 The words of King Lemuel—the revelation which his mother taught him: 2 “Oh, my son! Oh, son of my womb! Oh, son of my vows! 3 Don't give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings. 4 It is not for kings, Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, nor for princes to say, ‘Where is strong drink?' 5 lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the justice due to anyone who is afflicted. 6 Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish, and wine to the bitter in soul. 7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more. 8 Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are left desolate. 9 Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy.” 10 *Who can find a worthy woman? For her value is far above rubies. 11 The heart of her husband trusts in her. He shall have no lack of gain. 12 She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life. 13 She seeks wool and flax, and works eagerly with her hands. 14 She is like the merchant ships. She brings her bread from afar. 15 She rises also while it is yet night, gives food to her household, and portions for her servant girls. 16 She considers a field, and buys it. With the fruit of her hands, she plants a vineyard. 17 She arms her waist with strength, and makes her arms strong. 18 She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp doesn't go out by night. 19 She lays her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle. 20 She opens her arms to the poor; yes, she extends her hands to the needy. 21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household, for all her household are clothed with scarlet. 22 She makes for herself carpets of tapestry. Her clothing is fine linen and purple. 23 Her husband is respected in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land. 24 She makes linen garments and sells them, and delivers sashes to the merchant. 25 Strength and dignity are her clothing. She laughs at the time to come. 26 She opens her mouth with wisdom. Kind instruction is on her tongue. 27 She looks well to the ways of her household, and doesn't eat the bread of idleness. 28 Her children rise up and call her blessed. Her husband also praises her: 29 “Many women do noble things, but you excel them all.” 30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears Yahweh, she shall be praised. 31 Give her of the fruit of her hands! Let her works praise her in the gates! Listen Subscribe: Proverbs Daily Podcast Psalms Daily Podcast

Proverbs 31 is far more than a checklist for wives. It is a portrait of what wisdom looks like when it takes root in a person's life from the inside out. The woman described is rare, valuable, and deeply trusted by those closest to her. She works hard, works smart, and consistently turns her efforts outward toward others. Her speech is marked by wisdom and kindness, and her life is built on the fear of the Lord. Charm fades and beauty is temporary, but a life grounded in reverence for God produces something lasting. None of us can sustain this kind of life on our own strength, which is exactly why the gospel is central. Because Christ loved us first, we are freed and empowered to love others well.https://www.ankenyfree.church

KB & DJ are BACK after a week off to recover and reset after an INSANE weekend in Philly. The boys recap Waterdogs Homecoming, their two live shows, and the Maryland Charm winning the WLL Championship.

Discipline gets a lot easier when you stop treating misery as proof that you're doing it right. AJ and Johnny sit down with author and rejection expert Jia Jiang to challenge the traditional idea that success requires endless willpower, grinding, and suffering. Jia explains his approach to “easy discipline”—reducing friction, making difficult work more enjoyable, and building routines around the things that naturally give you energy. You'll learn how to break the procrastination loop, use “repetition with variation” to avoid burnout, build momentum that makes consistency easier, and rethink failure and rejection as opportunities for creativity. Jia also shares lessons from his 100 Days of Rejection experiment and why lasting success starts with finding what moves you instead of blindly following someone else's blueprint.

Rodney Alcala, AKA The Dating Game Killer, was a depraved murderer who eluded authorities for years. He hid his true identity behind charm and persuasion. He worked as a summer camp counselor while on the lam for the savage assault of an eight-year-old girl. He convinced his parole officer to let him take a vacation to the other side of the country, where he proceeded to commit another of his many murders. While New Yorkers were watching their backs for the Son of Sam in the summer of ’77, he killed again. And at the height of his killing spree, he managed to star in one of the creepiest moments in Hollywood history as a contestant on a popular television game show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Hour 3, Willard and Dibs continue reacting to Colin Cowherd's quarterback-head coach rankings in the NFL, and question Kyle Shanahan and Brock Purdy's place on the list. They also hear sound from Fernando Mendoza, and compliment his infectious positivity. Will that ever leave the Raiders' quarterback, even if the league tries to beat him down? Willard also calls for the San Francisco Giants to shut down shortstop Willy Adames for the season.

Pigweed, Crowhill, and Longinus are back from Mexico with stories to tell. The trip takes them from the beach town of Sayulita to the sprawling metropolis of Guadalajara and finally to Tequila—where the agave fields are endless, the distilleries are fascinating, and the tour bus gets considerably livelier on the way home.Along the way, they encounter mariachi bands, Mexican craft beer, cobblestone streets, scooters that would horrify an American safety inspector, mysterious walls topped with barbed wire, a spectacular rainstorm, and a culture that can feel simultaneously more relaxed and a little more dangerous than home. It leads to one of the recurring observations of the trip: part of Mexico's charm is the feeling that nobody is quite in charge—and that's both liberating and unsettling.Pour yourself a beer and join us for a conversation about what surprised us, what we loved, and what Mexico looks like when you get beyond the resort.

I'm closing out our five part Sales Personalities series with the one I think gets misread the most: the Chatty Charmer. This is the person who has never met a stranger - they're warm and easy to talk to. I could put a Chatty Charmer on a call with a prospect for forty five minutes and that prospect would walk away saying, "I really like that person." And then never buy. I see this get mistaken for sales talent constantly. Charm and connection do not equal sales - but they can with the right structure added in.    In this episode, I break down: Why being liked and being trusted are two entirely different currencies, and only one of them results in sales The real reason Chatty Charmer calls run long, in multiples, and still stall out The anchor phrases I teach this personality type to gently rein a conversation back in without losing the warmth that makes this personality magnetic in the first place The overlooked skill of asking what's actually behind a prospect's question, instead of just answering it at face value The surface level where sales die, and what going two or three layers deeper actually sounds like The organizational habit most Chatty Charmers skip that costs them never ending follow up    If you've ever finished a sales call feeling like it went beautifully, only to get ghosted, or if you manage someone whose calendar is full of "great conversations" that never convert, this episode will show you  I what's missing and how to fix it without losing the very warmth that makes this personality so good with people to begin with. Every sales personality, including yours, has sales strengths that convert when leveraged correctly. That's what this series is all about.    Take the Sales Personality Assessment here: https://assessment.aleashabahr.com/salespersonality   Curious why your own sales conversations are converting less than 50%?  Book your sales audit with me here and let's find out how to fix it.   01:35 — Introducing the Chatty Charmer and how it differs from the Passionate Persuader 02:45 — Why likability creates the illusion of sales skill 03:15 — The real symptoms: long calls, rabbit holes, and inconsistent results 04:15 — Likable versus trustworthy, and why only one gets you paid 05:00 — How I build anchor phrases that rein the conversation back in 06:20 — The habit of answering questions without understanding what's behind them 07:45 — A real example from a client's sales rep and what almost got missed 08:45 — Why surface level is where sales die 09:15 — The organizational gap that costs follow up without anyone noticing until it's too late 10:00 — What a Chatty Charmer looks like once these tools are in place #SalesIsNotADirtyWord #BlackSheepSales #SalesPersonality #ChattyCharmer #SalesTraining #SalesTips #SalesStrategy #SalesCoach #SmallBusinessSales #B2BSales #EntrepreneurPodcast #SalesPodcast #ConversionRate #SalesLeadership #AuthenticSelling #SalesSkills #TrustBasedSelling #WomenInSales #BusinessGrowth #SalesMindset

For Matt Vira, the Leadville 100 has never been just another race. It's home.A Twin Lakes local and longtime Colorado mountain runner, Matt has spent years living, training, and racing on the very trails that make up the Leadville course. But despite his success in shorter mountain races, Leadville has remained unfinished business. In this episode of Leadville Uncovered, Matt shares his journey from Division I cross-country runner at Bucknell University to one of Colorado's fastest and most consistent ultrarunners. Like many collegiate runners, he initially considered the marathon route, but a move to Leadville during the pandemic completely changed his trajectory and introduced him to ultrarunning through the Silver Rush 50. The conversation dives deep into Matt's complicated relationship with the Leadville 100. In 2022, he unknowingly ran 50 miles while experiencing rhabdomyolysis. Then, in 2023, he found himself leading the race by 10 minutes at Winfield before making the difficult decision to drop and avoid another hospital visit. Rather than immediately returning, Matt stepped away for two years and approached the race with a different mindset. Instead of simply becoming fitter, he focused on identifying the small details that ultimately determine success in a 100-mile race: nutrition, hydration, cooling, race execution, and preparing his body for the relentless climbing that defines Leadville. Matt also offers practical insights into racing at altitude, explaining why heat may be the most overlooked challenge at Leadville and why cooling strategies can be just as important as acclimatization. He shares his thoughts on Hope Pass, his surprising affection for Powerline, and why he believes the race isn't won on Hope but can certainly be lost there. More than anything, this conversation is about growth. Matt's goal isn't necessarily a specific finishing time. It's something much deeper: putting together a complete race.And if his prediction for the post-race newspaper headline comes true, perhaps this will finally be the year that "third time's the charm."

India's ruling party, the BJP, realizes it has a problem reaching young voters. Last month, youth-led protests, sparked by education policy and high unemployment, shook the political establishment. The Gen Z protest leaders started the “cockroach” political movement, so-named after an official disparagingly compared unemployed youth to “cockroaches.” So now the ruling party is revamping it's communications strategy. But even as they hope to woo young voters, police are arresting protest organizers on public order charges. We go to Mumbai to see the BJP's charm and punishment campaign with the younger generation.Support public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one.

Guilt can feel like proof that you care—but when it becomes your default way of relating to work, family, and yourself, it quietly turns care into obligation. AJ sits down with psychiatrist Jennifer Reid to explore why high achievers, caregivers, parents, and people pleasers often carry more responsibility than they can actually control. They unpack the difference between healthy guilt and chronic guilt, why disappointment does not mean a relationship is broken, and how perfectionism, social comparison, external validation, and rigid ideas about parenting or masculinity can keep people trapped in shame and self-criticism. You'll learn Jennifer's “guilt equation,” how to recognize unrealistic expectations, why self-compassion is not the same as lowering your standards, and how to make decisions based on values instead of guilt. This conversation offers a practical way to stop taking responsibility for everyone else's emotions and start creating healthier boundaries, relationships, and definitions of success.

Series: GENESIS | Scripture: Genesis 26:1-33 | Description: A look at the offensive nature of divine grace

Silence is where negotiators accidentally give away money. AJ and Johnny break down why the hardest part of a negotiation often isn't knowing what to ask for—it's resisting the urge to speak when the other person goes quiet. That uncomfortable pause can make you lower your number, over-explain your position, or negotiate against yourself before the other side has said anything at all. You'll learn how to anchor confidently, hold eye contact, count through seven seconds of silence, and respond without immediately defending or discounting your ask. Whether you're negotiating salary, contract terms, or a major purchase, this episode shows how staying calm and quiet can shift the pressure back across the table.

Reflections from host Sarah Olivieri ... Is Your Budget Killing Your Major Gifts Program? Many nonprofit leaders I talk to about major gifts describe some version of the same wall. They know the money is out there. They have heard the statistics about wealth transfer and donor-advised funds. They have sat through the trainings. And still, nothing moves. So they go looking for the missing skill. Better scripts. A new CRM. A workshop on how to ask. Here's what I often find when I see an organization trying to do major gifts but struggling. They're actually operating with systems and processes that work against major gifts. Systems like: annual fundraising strategies a schedule of campaigns an annual budget that rewards short-term gifting, which often comes at the expense of building the proper long-term relationship that leads to true, significant, sustainable funding from major donors Relationships operate on systems as well, but these are not the systems that relationships run on. When the wrong systems are in place, people rarely call out the system. They compensate with effort instead. In fundraising, that effort goes into activity that can be measured this quarter. Events. Appeals. Data entry. All of it visible, all of it defensible, and very little of it building the thing that tends to produce seven-figure gifts. A version of this came up on almost every strategy call I had this spring, which is why I was glad to sit down with Bill Crouch and talk it through. Bill has spent more than forty years inside this work, first as a college president raising private money in the shadow of a state flagship, now advising nonprofits nationally. He has lived this work and he has taught it, which is a rarer combination than it sounds. What the conversation gave me was not a new idea. It was a sharper explanation of why the patient approach holds up and why so few organizations are structured to survive the wait. The Annual Budget Is the Clock Everything Else Runs On Start with the operating budget, because everything downstream inherits its timeline. A relationship with a high capacity donor takes eighteen months. Sometimes three years. Bill spent eighteen months getting the first million dollar commitment for a giving group at his own college. Six weeks after that, he had five more, because the first person made calls to friends. Eighteen months of nothing, then five gifts in six weeks. Now put that curve inside an organization that closes its books every twelve months and asks the development office what it brought in. The gap is rarely a matter of discipline. The organization has committed to a reporting cycle that cannot see the work until it is already finished. So the work does not get funded, does not get protected on anyone's calendar, and does not survive the first cash flow scare in month seven. I write and talk a lot about how the layout of your budget shapes the decisions you make, and this is the most expensive version of that. A twelve-month frame makes long horizon relationship work look like underperformance. Then leaders respond to the number in front of them, which is the only responsible thing to do with the information the system gives them. The Desk Always Wins Bill described development work as needing two different capabilities. The technical side, sitting in the office getting things done. And the relational side, out in the world with people. Two skill sets, often two different humans. In a small shop, one person holds both. Ask that person what they did last week and you will hear about the database, the appeal, the grant report, the reconciliation. Not the coffee that took ninety minutes and produced no measurable outcome. The desk wins because the desk has deadlines. The relationship has none. This is a design flaw with a simple mechanism. Every task in the office has a due date attached to it and a visible consequence for missing it. Relationship building has neither. Give one person both jobs and the work with a deadline tends to consume the work without one, week after week, however much that person believes in the relational side. Which means the fix is structural. Protect the time in a way the person cannot trade away, or separate the roles. Telling someone to prioritize relationships more is asking them to out-discipline their own job description. The Mechanism, Named One line from that conversation has stayed with me: "That forces nonprofits to make short-term decisions that hurt long-term strategies." What I appreciate about this framing is that it locates the problem in the design rather than in the people executing it. The short-term decision is the rational one given the reporting cycle. Change the cycle, or build a revenue floor that takes the pressure off it, and the same team will often behave differently. Not much had to change in anyone's character. The structure stopped charging them for patience. Turnover Is What the Design Produces Forty years ago, the number one problem in nonprofit fundraising was development staff turnover. It is still the number one problem. Bill named four causes, and the timeline inside them is the part worth sitting with. It takes about sixteen months for the wrong hire to realize they do not want this job. It takes the supervisor about sixteen months to accept the same thing. So roughly a year and a half of relationship equity walks out the door, and the next person starts from zero with donors who have now been handed off twice. Run that loop three times and you have a decade of fundraising with no compounding whatsoever. The organization has been paying for major gifts capacity the entire time and never accumulating any. And the third cause Bill listed is the one nonprofits could fix tomorrow. The only way to get a meaningful raise in this field is to leave. We hand out cost of living adjustments and call it compensation strategy. Then we act surprised when the person holding four years of donor history takes a call from a recruiter. The turnover looks to me like an output. The design tends to produce it, and hiring better rarely changes what the design produces. If you want to see the same mechanism from another angle, emotional intelligence functions as retention infrastructure inside these teams, not as a soft add-on. Relationship Building Is a Practice You Can Teach Here is the part that gets skipped. The long horizon only pays off if something real happens inside it, and most organizations treat what happens in the room as a matter of charm. Some people have it. Some people do not. Hire for it and hope. Bill asks every high capacity person he meets about their favorite childhood toy. That is the whole thing. A simple question about a toy, and within a couple of minutes he is hearing what someone actually cares about, in their own words, before any case statement enters the conversation. I have been collecting strategic questions for years, and I recently started a separate collection just for get to know you questions. His goes at the top of that list. I asked my next podcast guest the same thing, and it changed the shape of the whole interview. Which tells you something about the mechanism. A good question is repeatable. It can be written down, taught, practiced, and handed to a nervous program director who has never asked anyone for money. Charm cannot. So when an organization decides that relationship building is a talent rather than a practice, it has quietly made that work impossible to train, impossible to delegate, and impossible to sustain past the tenure of whoever happened to be good at it. Bill also brings brain science into how he approaches this, and that tracks. Relationship building, brain science, and psychology go hand in hand. People give when they feel seen, heard, and valued, and there is a physiological story underneath that, not just a sentimental one. Which means the patient work is doing something specific in those eighteen months. Those months are where the ask becomes possible. Skip them and you are asking a stranger. Titles Are Structure Bill told a story about interviewing a researcher at a large university. She had put the institution in her will. She had been there sixteen years. She had identified and researched a donor who eventually gave a million dollars. No major gift officer had ever walked into her office to thank her. Nobody, in sixteen years. She stayed because her children had a tuition waiver. His response to this pattern is to give every person in the development operation the same title: "Every person in the development shop should have the same title. Director of Major Gifts." This makes sense given the setup. A title describes what the organization believes a role is for. When the researcher's title says researcher and the gift officer's title says major gifts, the org chart has already suggested who is doing the real fundraising and who is doing support work. Most people read that correctly and behave accordingly. I coach clients on titles constantly, usually while helping them build a first development department, and my rule is that people should have whatever title helps them do their job best. Bill's version goes further, and I think he is right about it. It does two things at once. Inside the organization, it tells the researcher and the data entry person that they matter, which is the same thing every donor is trying to find out about themselves. Outside the organization, it gives every one of those people a title they can carry into a room and use to build a real relationship. Give everyone the title that names the actual goal, and you have used structure to say something that a values statement on the wall never manages to say. The Board Question That Is Easy to Sequence Wrong Then there is the board, where two incompatible jobs get stuffed into one body. Bill's framing came from a retired chamber of commerce CEO. Most nonprofit boards are made up of sparrows. Sparrows come to the quarterly meeting, sit through staff reports, argue about whether to spend two hundred dollars on a computer, write a thousand dollar check, and buy a seat at the gala. Most nonprofits could not operate without them. Plenty of boards also want an eagle. Someone who can write a seven-figure check. Eagles tend to hate meetings, do not care about the computer, and rarely sit through reports. Put one on your board and within a year they will often either turn into a sparrow or quit. So Bill builds his clients a separate group. Five or six people, all high capacity, meeting twice a year in each other's homes rather than at your facility, with a single agenda item. Which of our friends can we ask. I give the same advice and I get there differently. I do not want money, power, and decision-making consolidated into the same group of people. Your governing board should be the people who want to do the careful, unglamorous work of oversight, checking that nothing is going off the rails. Not the people with the biggest checkbooks, who are usually the furthest from the weeds and the least accountable for the outcome. So give the givers their own structure where giving is the actual job. Two groups, two purposes, no competition between them. This is also why the board chair and executive director relationship works better when the governance lane is clearly drawn. What a Built System Looks Like Build the plumbing first. Here that means a small number of specific things in place before anyone worries about scripts. The CEO carries a real portfolio, ten people or fewer, and treats it as a standing commitment rather than a fourth quarter push. The relational time is protected structurally, not aspirationally. Compensation is designed so that staying is financially rational. There is a revenue floor that does not depend on this year's major gift closing, which is what makes waiting affordable. And there is a group whose entire purpose is giving and opening doors, separate from the group that governs. Fully built or partially built matters enormously here. A partially built major gifts function has all the cost and none of the compounding. You are paying for the staff, the software, and the events, and you are still starting over every eighteen months. Diversifying and de-risking your revenue base is part of the same picture, which is why revenue design deserves attention before the ask does. What This Makes Possible When leaders see this clearly, the fear around major gifts usually drops several notches. The conversation stops being about whether anyone on the team is brave enough to ask a person for a million dollars and starts being about whether the organization can hold a relationship for three years without flinching. That is a design question, and design questions have answers. What can stop being so heavy is the self-blame. Chances are nobody failed at fundraising here. The organization was built with a twelve-month clock and then asked to do multi-year work, and it did roughly what that setup tends to produce. You are where you are, it is what it is. Once the structure changes, the same people, the same mission, and the same donor list start producing something entirely different, because the effort finally accumulates instead of resetting. Doing Work That Compounds This is not about asking bigger. It is about building an organization that can hold a relationship long enough for the ask to make sense. Nonprofits can raise transformational money.They can pay their fundraisers well enough to keep them.They can stop rebuilding donor relationships from scratch every eighteen months. Not by pushing harder, by building systems that hold.

You can be inches from the life you want—and still find a way to pull yourself backward. AJ and Johnny sit down with clinical neuropsychologist Dr. Judy Ho to uncover why self-sabotage appears in careers, health goals, relationships, and everyday habits. They explore the hidden fears, beliefs, and cognitive distortions that make change feel threatening, including black-and-white thinking, catastrophizing, comparison, low self-concept, and the excessive need for control. You'll learn how to recognize your triggers, question the stories your mind creates, separate thoughts from facts, and replace destructive patterns with practical “if-then” plans. Judy also explains why willpower alone isn't enough—and how aligning your goals with your values can create motivation that lasts when discipline fades.

Someone takes a shot at you in front of the room, and suddenly your body reacts before your brain has decided what to say. AJ and Johnny break down what happens in that two-second window when your status, confidence, or credibility feels threatened. They explain why people instinctively shrink, fight back, or try to one-up the other person—and how each reaction hands control of the moment away. You'll learn a practical three-step framework for holding your ground without becoming defensive or aggressive: name what you noticed, ask what they actually need, and either offer value or set a clear boundary. It's a simple way to stay composed, protect your position, and stop replaying the conversation after it's over.

It might not sound like a hard news story.. but It's my show and I can't wait to watch this. This move follows four Girl Scouts ages 5-12 during cookie season. One of the girls has type 1 – they don't mention it in the trailer, but you can see her omnipod. Here's a clip:   Start the very beginning and stop after "I want to be a supreme court justice." (stop after the "oh..laughter" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnSQS43Eil8   Viewers meet Ara from San Diego, CA (5), Shannon Elizabeth from El Paso, TX (8), Nikki from Chino, CA (9), and Olive from Charlotte, NC (12). Ara has Type 1 diabetes and is shown taking insulin, refilling her pump before bed, and determining with her dad how to sample the cookies she's selling while keeping her blood sugar levels safe. Thumbs down to the Hollywood reporter dot com. In their review they say.. "if this film were itself a baked good, Ara would need to be careful because one bite could cause hyperglycemia or even diabetic ketoacidosis. It's just that sweet." Cookie Queens comes out this month. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/cookie-queens-review-prince-harry-meghan-markle-girl-scouts-1236484555/ trailer:   XX Supply issues for Lantus SoloStar pens being acknowledged by Sanofi. The company says it's experiencing "a period of intermittent supply due to increased demand. The company said the increase in demand is being driven by "broader market dynamics," but did not provide additional details. Sanofi said the situation is temporary and is expected to improve over the coming weeks. The company said Lantus U-100 vials and Toujeo U-300, which contain the same active ingredient, remain available. https://www.wral.com/news/local/common-insulin-pen-faces-supply-issues-amid-rising-demand-july-23-2026/ XX The University of Alabama at Birmingham startup TIXiMED Inc. has launched the next phase of clinical testing for a novel oral therapy for Type 1. For now called TIX100, a small-molecule drug designed to inhibit a protein linked to pancreatic beta-cell loss and diabetes progression. The new double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the drug's safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics. Researchers will enroll 18 healthy participants across three dose cohorts at a single United States study site. Participants will receive either TIX100 or a placebo twice daily for 28 days, followed by a seven-day follow-up period. Six participants making up the first cohort have been successfully enrolled thus far. In addition to its potential use in Type 1 diabetes, TIX100 may have applications in Type 2 diabetes and obesity. A recent study found that the drug prevented weight regain and preserved lean muscle mass after discontinuation of GLP-1 therapies in preclinical models. https://www.uab.edu/news/research-innovation/startup-advances-novel-oral-type-1-diabetes-therapy-to-next-phase-of-human-testing XX Researchers at the University of California San Diego say they have developed and validated a Continuous Health Analyzing Ring Module (CHARM), a compact, fully integrated wearable smart ring capable of continuous real-time monitoring of multiple biomarkers in sweat. The wearable device can simultaneously measure up to four biomarkers, including glucose, ketone, uric acid, lactate, ascorbic acid, and alcohol, to provide real-time insights into metabolic health. The study is published in Nature Communications. They say CHARM device contains all necessary biomarker sensors, low-power electronics, and a flexible battery. The left compartment of the device is designed to draw sweat passively using an osmotic hydrogel, a soft polymer that creates a pressure gradient to pull fluid from the skin painlessly. The sweat is then analyzed by multiplexed electrochemical sensor arrays within the same compartment, leading to simultaneous and real-time tracking of four biomarkers at a time.   The right compartment of the device contains a flexible zinc-silver oxide rechargeable battery that supplies power for up to 12 hours of operation between charges. Biomarker information generated through sensors is wirelessly transferred to a connected Bluetooth-enabled device for real-time display The findings indicated that the device performed well in initial temperature, cytotoxicity, and on-body compatibility tests. It also demonstrated high analytical accuracy in preliminary studies involving healthy participants and individuals with type 1 diabetes, highlighting its potential for non-invasive metabolic monitoring. The calculated estimated sweat-based blood glucose concentration showed a mean absolute relative difference of approximately 13.7% against its corresponding blood concentration values.   The device needs further validation in diverse clinical settings and across large diabetic cohorts.   https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260727/Prototype-smart-ring-tracks-multiple-sweat-biomarkers.aspx   XX Hotter weather and rising temps appear to increase the short term risk for low blood sugar in adults with type 1. An analysis of more than 32 million continuous glucose monitor (CGM) readings from nearly 700 adults with T1D in the UK showed a 26% greater risk for hypoglycemia at a temperature of 25 °C (77 °F) than at 13 °C (55.4 °F). Hypoglycemia was defined as a glucose level < 3.9 mmol/L (70 mg/dL). The study included 679 individuals with T1D and 32,966,282 CGM readings collected between February 23, 2017, and August 8, 2024. Participants had a mean age of 46.4 years and a mean T1D duration of 23.7 years. The researchers observed strong seasonal patterns, with lower odds of hypoglycemia in late winter and early spring, followed by a peak during the summer. The lowest risk occurred on Mondays. The odds then increased over the course of the week and peaked toward the weekend, with a significant odds ratio of 1.14 on Saturdays compared with Mondays. Increases in hypoglycemia were observed during both hot and cold weather, but the association was stronger for heat. The net odds ratio was 1.26 at 25 °C compared with 13 °C.   https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/when-temperatures-climb-hypoglycemia-risk-rises-type-1-2026a1000q4r XX Seven weeks after the expulsion of five diabetes experts from the American Diabetes Association conference, controversy continues. More than 200 members now calling for two ADA leaders to resign. In response, the ADA delivered its own message Tuesday, expressing appreciation for members' patience while a report is prepared.   The resignation demand, sent last week in an open letter to the ADA board of directors, calls for the removal of CEO Charles Henderson and chief scientific and medical officer Rita Kalyani. It also urges "an independent investigation into the events of the 2026 Scientific Sessions in New Orleans, a full apology to the five colleagues removed from the meeting, and the restoration of editorial independence at Diabetes Care," an ADA scientific journal.   https://www.statnews.com/2026/07/28/american-diabetes-association-fallout-researchers-expulsion/ XX XX Still to come, , a new link between diabetes and dementia, device updates, and why you might want to start rooting for the Red Sox..   XX New study says that people diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D) before the age of 10 years had a 37% higher risk of developing all-cause dementia later in life than those diagnosed between ages of 18 and 30 years. These researchers used a Swedish national register of 43,440 individuals with T1D (mean age at cohort entry, 33 years; 44% women) Worth noting a couple of things.. the mean age in this study was 33 – so the people who were diagnosed under the age of ten would not have had access to current technology – no CGMs or AID systems. And while the study says it's 37% higher for the younger group, the actual rate was still very low. As always, I'll link to the study so you can learn more. My obvious bias here to look for a silver lining because I have a son who diagnosed with T1D at age 2.   https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/type-1-diabetes-onset-before-age-10-tied-higher-risk-2026a1000pir XX Researchers have developed a machine learning model that uses routine clinical information to detect diabetes and distinguish between type 1, type 2, prediabetes, and diabetes caused by pancreatic disease. The model performed well in early testing, but researchers say it still needs to be validated in independent patient groups before it could be considered for use in diabetes screening or clinical care. It did not assess clinical utility, patient outcomes, or quality of life. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260729/Researchers-train-AI-to-detect-diabetes-and-assign-four-diagnostic-labels.aspx XX Trinity Biotech and Latch Medical are teaming up to explore combining CGM with precision drug delivery technology for diabetes, obesity, and other metabolic conditions. The companies hope real-time glucose data from Trinity's CGM+ sensor could eventually help guide more personalized treatment decisions and medication delivery. Trinity's CGM+ is still in development, with a pivotal clinical trial planned for later this year. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/trinity-biotech-collab-cgm-drug-delivery/ XX The FDA selects Dexcom as the first participant in a new digital health pilot that will exempt certain digital health devices from FDA premarket authorization requirements while collecting real world data through a complementary Medicare program. Dexcom, plans to implement an artificial intelligence-enabled glucose health program through the pilot. The program is intended to help screen for prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes. The company plans to integrate data from its sensors, including its prescription G7 CGM and its over-the-counter Stelo device, along with contextual health information such as nutrition, physical activity, sleep and stress. The FDA announced plans for the Technology-Enabled Meaningful Patient Outcomes, or TEMPO, pilot last year amid a broader push for adoption of digital health and wearables. It coincides with a new program by the CMS to fund the use of digital technologies for managing chronic conditions. https://www.healthcaredive.com/news/fda-names-dexcom-as-first-participant-in-digital-health-pilot/826215/ XX Medicare and Medicare Advantage beneficiaries now have access to the new MiniMed Flex insulin pump. Beneficiaries can now access the MiniMed Flex and its latest sensor portfolio, which currently includes the Simplera Sync sensor, a disposable, all-in-one sensor with easy two-step insertion. The company plans to roll it out with the Instinct sensor, made by Abbott, later this summer. It also added Abbott's dual glucose-ketone sensor (still investigational in the U.S.) to its portfolio this year. Flex picked up FDA clearance in March and the company announced the initial commercial rollout of the pump last month. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/minimed-flex-pump-now-available-medicare/ XX Eli Lilly expands it's partnership with Resilience – the makers of the KwikPen device. Through the investment, Resilience will significantly increase U.S. production of Lilly's KwikPen injectable device for diabetes and obesity medicines. In February, Lilly won FDA approval for Zepbound in a multidose KwikPen device. The product includes four doses of the GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist, providing a month of treatment for obesity or overweight in one device.

Winning once can be luck. Winning repeatedly demands that you become someone different after every loss. AJ and Johnny sit down with elite performance coach Tim Grover to unpack the mindset behind sustained success. Drawing on his work with Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and other top performers, Tim explains why failure should change you, why focus matters more than time management, and why the smallest details often separate good from unstoppable. You'll learn how to manage your own mind, eliminate distractions, build trust through results, and stop searching for someone else's blueprint. This conversation is a direct look at the discipline, self-awareness, sacrifice, and relentless evolution required to keep winning long after the first success.

Most people think success comes from never giving up. But sometimes the smartest decision is knowing when to walk away from the wrong opportunity so you can invest your time, energy, and resources where they matter most. In this episode, Annie Duke explains why quitting isn't the opposite of grit—it's an essential part of making better decisions. AJ and Johnny sit down with decision-making expert and former professional poker player Annie Duke to unpack the psychology behind quitting, expected value, sunk cost fallacy, goal-setting, and the biases that keep us stuck. Through stories about Everest expeditions, entrepreneurship, investing, and professional sports, Annie reveals how successful people know when to persist, when to pivot, and how to avoid letting emotions override good judgment. If you've ever stayed in a job, relationship, or project longer than you should because of the time or effort you've already invested, this conversation will give you practical tools to recognize hidden biases, make clearer decisions under uncertainty, and confidently move toward better opportunities.

Most people think persuasion starts with your message. It actually starts with your audience. AJ sits down with entrepreneur and marketing expert Russ Ruffino to explore why empathy—not charisma or credentials—is the foundation of influence. From storytelling and copywriting to public speaking, coaching, and personal branding, Russ Ruffino explains why the best communicators begin with the problems people are already thinking about instead of talking about themselves. They also discuss overcoming the fear of putting yourself out there, building confidence on camera, charging based on outcomes instead of time, and why creating meaningful impact is the fastest path to influence, trust, and long-term success.

Most people think honesty is simply about telling the truth. It's much more than that. AJ sits down with philosopher and ethics professor Christian Miller to explore why honesty is becoming harder in the age of AI, social media, and online influence. From cheating with AI and fake news to white lies, self-deception, and accountability, Christian explains why honesty isn't just about what we say—it's about the motivations behind our actions and the habits that shape our character. This conversation explores the psychology of dishonesty, why good people still lie, when honesty should give way to compassion, and the practical steps anyone can take to build more trust in their relationships, work, and everyday life.
