In this episode, the crew breaks down an unforgettable trip to La Bresse, France, where flight delays, last-minute travel changes, and nonstop chaos turned into one of the most memorable hill climb weekends yet. From sharing bikes with the French riders to discovering wild custom machines, unique race rules, and an incredible club atmosphere, the conversation captures what makes international hill climbing so special. The team also talks about the Great American event, East Coast vs. West Coast hill styles, and why support from family, friends, and the racing community is everything in this sport.

Andrew Jenkins, the Traitors star, joins James Smith for a raw conversation about resilience, identity, and rebuilding a life after everything is taken away. At 21, Andrew was pronounced dead at the scene of a catastrophic car accident, lost half his skull and over half his blood, and was told he'd never walk, talk, or recognise anyone again. He walked out of that hospital and then spent 15 years suffering in silence behind a good body, a nice house, and a successful banking career.

Workers' compensation insurance claims are staying open longer than ever, driving up costs and pushing more injured employees to litigate. On this episode of Critical Point, two workers' comp experts—Milliman's Stephanie Schmidt and the “Riskfluencer” Sandy Avina—unpack this trend and outline several cost-containment strategies for employers. They discuss the impact of comorbidities on workers' health and healing, why social media is making many employees wrongly assume they need a lawyer, and how nurse case managers, preferred provider networks, and return-to-work programs can help control costs while helping injured workers recover.You can read the episode transcript on our website.

Timothy Greisheimer grew up in Ohio before his family moved to Texas — and with his father out of the picture and his mother doing what she could, the streets filled in the gaps before he was old enough to understand what that really meant. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares how teenage robberies and a love for stealing and selling guns led to an eight year sentence in the Texas prison system, what getting sent to a brutal maximum security facility really looked like, and how he made one of the most dangerous decisions available inside those walls — leaving the white gang he ran with and becoming a Blood as a white man inside a Texas max security prison. He navigates the politics the violence and the daily reality of what that decision really cost him before finally getting out, becoming a major meth dealer, spending nearly ten years on the run, getting caught again, and doing another fifteen years in Texas — this time converting to Islam before finishing his sentence as a peckerwood, learning to tattoo, and finally turning his life completely around. _____________________________________________ #texas #TrueCrime #ganglife #prison _____________________________________________ Connect with Timothy Greisheimer: https://www.instagram.com/tattoos_bykriminalkustoms?igsh=ZnQwYW03dWQ4bjN6 _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Intro & Early Life 01:18 Family Background & Moving 04:18 Trouble in Childhood 06:26 Starting Crime & Identity Search 11:14 Influences & Role Models 13:24 Gang Life & Friend Groups 20:45 First Arrest & Prison Sentence 29:39 Entering Maximum Security Prison 41:52 Navigating Prison Politics 52:02 Switching Sides in Prison 01:04:05 Consequences & Proving Himself 01:23:00 Parole & Getting Out 01:42:59 Returning to the Streets 01:58:38 Climbing the Drug World 02:19:52 Avoiding Law Enforcement 02:35:27 Probation Violation & Back to Prison 03:14:41 Second Prison Bid & Leaving Gangs 03:34:03 Life After Prison 03:52:54 Lessons Learned & Reflections 04:04:39 Advice to the Next Generation _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

Every time a pro wins with a quirky move, it shows up on the lesson tee the next week.... the bowed wrist, the foot hop, the "swing that will revolutionize golf." We all love an outlier, and we all think we're one magic bullet away. In this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb break down why copying those moves is the fastest way to wreck your golf swing, and what you should be stealing from tour players instead.The real answer is their mindset and how they practice: low ball counts, rehearsal swings, verifying every feel against Gears, TrackMan, or video instead of trusting feel alone, and practicing with a plan rather than reacting to the last shot you hit. We get into honest swing-change timelines (why a tour coach will tell a player it might take two years), the 1%-a-day math, the ladder to unconscious competence, why bad concepts are the easiest to ingrain and the hardest to undo, Tony Ruggerio's 3x5 note card system, and why filming your on-course swing — not your basement swing — is the only way to see what you're actually changing.Get good at the basics. That's where 95% of them live. Timestamps below.

  What happens when you build your work around the life you want to live? In this episode of On Adventure, Josh talks with Stefan Gruber, a climber, photographer, traveler, and customer success professional at Levitate. Stefan shares how remote work and his wife Sarah's career as a travel nurse have helped them create a life centered on movement, creativity, and outdoor adventure. They discuss climbing, film photography, international travel, dangerous moments in the mountains, and the judgment required to turn around when conditions are not right. At the heart of the conversation is a simple message: meaningful experiences should not always be postponed. In This Episode Building a mobile life around remote work and travel nursing Why climbing creates focus, presence, and flow Traveling through the American West, Poland, and Nepal The appeal of film photography and printed images Balancing documentation with being present Avalanche terrain, exposed climbing, and failed summit attempts Summit fever, risk assessment, and the limits of luck Future goals, including the Grand Teton and Colorado fourteeners Why Stefan believes in doing things while you still can Episode Chapters 00:00 – Colorado Springs and life on the move Josh and Stefan discuss Colorado Springs, choosing temporary homes, and the possibility of eventually buying land in Colorado or Montana. 11:00 – Stefan's career and lifestyle Stefan explains how he moved from a long corporate commute into remote work and began traveling with Sarah during her nursing assignments. 17:30 – Climbing, travel, and flow Stefan reflects on his Polish heritage, his early interest in travel, and the sense of complete focus he finds while climbing. 20:00 – Designing work around life The conversation explores the freedom and tradeoffs of building a career that supports travel, adventure, and flexibility. 24:00 – Poland and international travel Stefan describes Poland's cities, mountains, coastline, affordability, and cultural growth, along with other memorable travel experiences. 36:30 – Photography and creative ambitions Stefan explains how photography connects his travels and outdoor life. He also shares ideas for creating a travel channel with Sarah. 41:00 – Film, digital photography, and presence They discuss the visual character of film, the value of printed photographs, and the tension between capturing an experience and fully living it. 51:00 – Risk, fear, and turning around Stefan recounts dangerous moments involving avalanche terrain, exposed climbing, wildfire smoke, and two unsuccessful attempts on the Grand Teton. 57:00 – Summit fever and the limits of luck The conversation turns to humility, decision-making, and why surviving a poor choice does not make it a good one. 1:04:00 – Survival psychology and photography advice Stefan recommends Deep Survival by Laurence Gonzales and encourages new photographers to begin with whatever camera they can access. 1:11:00 – Favorite mountains and future goals Stefan talks about the Tetons, Annapurna Base Camp, Denali, Everest, and his goals for the rest of 2026. 1:18:00 – Do it while you can Stefan closes with his belief that health, time, and opportunity are uncertain, so meaningful goals should not always be saved for later. Memorable Quotes "Sometimes those limits find you." "There's a certain store of luck, and it will run out eventually." "If it doesn't happen today, it can happen another day." "Do it while you can." Key Takeaways Build work around what matters. Flexible work can create more room for travel, relationships, creativity, and meaningful experiences. Turning around is not failure. Good judgment sometimes means abandoning a climb or summit and returning under better conditions. Luck is not a strategy. A successful outcome does not automatically mean the decision behind it was wise. Give photographs a life beyond the screen. Printing images or shooting film can make photography feel more intentional and lasting. Do not save everything for someday. Adventure can be a major expedition or a small personal goal. The important step is beginning while the opportunity still exists.

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back in New York for another chaotic Ask Me Anything, and this week's questions spark conversations that go absolutely everywhere.The pair kick things off by joking about being reunited after travelling, with Abbey admitting she's officially decided she can't cope with single parenting, while Peter cheekily negotiates a "week on, week off" arrangement.One listener asks Abbey for advice ahead of giving birth, leading to an honest chat about their own labour experiences, planned inductions, epidurals and the one thing Peter kept doing that drove Abbey absolutely mad while she was stuck in hospital. Peter also attempts to explain oxytocin... with predictably disastrous results.Elsewhere, the pair react to one of the funniest listener confessions yet, involving a very drunk son, the wrong bedroom and an unforgettable wake-up call that had everyone in stitches.Plus, Abbey and Peter weigh in on whether having loads of mirrors in your bedroom is a genuine relationship red flag, debate whether men are actually more vain than women, and Abbey exposes Peter's bizarre habit of practising his golf swing completely naked after getting out of the shower.If you want to submit an Agony Ab or Ask Me Anything question to the podcast, hit the link below:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rAKD...00:00 - Welcome back to another NYC Ask Me Anything00:35 - Abbey admits she doesn't want to be a single parent01:02 - Peter jokes about week-on, week-off parenting01:38 - Listener asks Abbey for labour and birth advice02:20 - C-section vs natural birth and preparing for labour02:52 - Peter completely misunderstands oxytocin03:24 - Did Peter help... or annoy Abbey during labour?03:40 - Why all of their births were carefully planned04:12 - Abbey explains why football dictated delivery dates04:34 - Peter's biggest labour wind-up revealed05:06 - Nando's, pizza and making a starving Abbey jealous05:28 - Peter praises Abbey after giving birth06:12 - Would Abbey have another baby?06:34 - Sienna Miller, older mums and Rice Krispies jokes06:46 - Listener's hilarious drunk son confession07:05 - Climbing into mum's bed completely naked07:32 - The missing phone makes the story even worse08:13 - Abbey and Peter react to the unbelievable confession08:52 - Is having loads of bedroom mirrors a red flag?09:18 - How long is too long to stare at yourself?09:46 - Abbey admits her brother loves his reflection10:10 - Are men actually more vain than women?10:41 - Love Island, gym culture and mirror habits11:00 - Peter's hilarious opinion of himself11:15 - Abbey exposes Peter's naked golf swing routineTo contact us:Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.comInstagram: / thetherapycrouchpodcast TikTok: / thetherapycrouch Website:https://thetherapycrouch.com/For more from Peter / petercrouch For more from Abbey / abbeyclancy Our clips channel / @thetherapycrouch-clipsch-om9dy Hosted on Acast.

Sandstone, Minn., is known today for rock climbing, ice climbing and whitewater rafting. But before it became an outdoor recreation destination, it was one of the Midwest's most important sandstone-producing communities. When a Curious Minnesota listener asked about the area's towering quarry walls, Minnesota Star Tribune reporter Christa Lawler set out to uncover their history. What she found was a story of railroad tycoons, booming industry, dangerous labor, remarkable engineering—and an entire town that was moved to accommodate the railroad. In this episode, host Erica Pearson and Lawler visit the abandoned quarry sites, hear firsthand accounts from former quarry workers preserved in local archives, and explore how Sandstone transformed from an industrial powerhouse into one of Minnesota's hidden gems for outdoor adventure. If you've ever driven through Sandstone on the way to Duluth, this episode might convince you it's worth making the stop.

Story Transcript:Ca: La llum del matí acariciava les roques de la muntanya de Montserrat.En: The morning light caressed the rocks of the mountain of Montserrat.Ca: Els arbres verds ballaven suaument amb el vent suau de l'estiu.En: The green trees danced gently with the soft summer wind.Ca: Júlia, amb una mirada intensa, observava el camí que s'estenia davant seu.En: Júlia, with an intense look, observed the path that stretched out before her.Ca: Al seu costat, Pere somreia amb entusiasme, mentre Marina respirava profundament, buscant aquella pau interior que tant desitjava.En: Beside her, Pere smiled with enthusiasm, while Marina breathed deeply, seeking that inner peace she so desired.Ca: “Aquest serà un dia inoblidable,” va dir Pere, mirant cap a la llunyania.En: "This will be an unforgettable day," said Pere, looking into the distance.Ca: Júlia va assentir, esperant que la caminada proporcionés respostes a les seves preguntes interiors.En: Júlia nodded, hoping that the hike would provide answers to her inner questions.Ca: El sender era empinat, i el sol, encara suau, començava a escalfar l'ambient.En: The trail was steep, and the sun, though still gentle, started to warm the environment.Ca: Els amics van avançar en silenci un bon tros, cada un amb els seus propis pensaments.En: The friends walked in silence for a good stretch, each with their own thoughts.Ca: Aviat, el camí es va fer més difícil i la calor més intensa.En: Soon, the path became more difficult and the heat more intense.Ca: Júlia sentia com l'esgotament s'apoderava d'ella.En: Júlia felt exhaustion taking over her.Ca: Els seus dubtes es feien més pesats amb cada pas.En: Her doubts became heavier with each step.Ca: Però ella va decidir tirar endavant, convençuda que al cim la resaria esperava claredat.En: But she decided to move forward, convinced that clarity awaited her at the summit.Ca: Al cap d'una estona, un núvol gruixut va cobrir el sol i el vent va començar a bufar amb més força.En: After a while, a thick cloud covered the sun, and the wind began to blow more strongly.Ca: Pere i Marina es van aturar per prendre un descans.En: Pere and Marina stopped to take a break.Ca: “Hauríem de tornar,” va suggerir Marina preocupada.En: "We should go back," suggested Marina anxiously.Ca: Però Pere volia continuar.En: But Pere wanted to continue.Ca: “Només una mica més i arribarem,” va insistir Pere amb energia.En: "Just a little more and we'll reach it," insisted Pere energetically.Ca: L'argument entre ells es va escalfar, distorsionant l'harmonia del matí.En: The argument between them heated up, distorting the morning's harmony.Ca: Júlia, malgrat el seu cansament, va trobar forces per intervenir.En: Despite her fatigue, Júlia found the strength to intervene.Ca: “Hem vingut junts.En: "We came together.Ca: Sortirem junts,” va dir amb un to suau però ferm.En: We'll leave together," she said in a soft but firm tone.Ca: Els dos amics van acceptar, i la tensió es va dissipar lentament.En: The two friends agreed, and the tension slowly dissipated.Ca: A mesura que s'apropaven al cim, la pujada es feia més difícil.En: As they approached the summit, the climb became more difficult.Ca: Júlia lluitava amb les seves pròpies pors, però va persistir.En: Júlia wrestled with her own fears but persisted.Ca: I finalment, quan gairebé arribaven, el cel es va obrir miraculós.En: Finally, when they almost reached the top, the sky opened miraculously.Ca: Un raig de sol va il·luminar el seu camí i va pintar el paisatge amb colors vibrants.En: A ray of sun illuminated their path and painted the landscape with vibrant colors.Ca: Dalt del cim, el panorama era espectacular.En: At the top of the summit, the view was spectacular.Ca: El vent fresc portava una senzació de tranquil·litat i Júlia va sentir com si el món s'aturés per un moment.En: The fresh wind carried a sensation of tranquility, and Júlia felt as if the world paused for a moment.Ca: Ella va mirar cap a Pere i Marina.En: She looked at Pere and Marina.Ca: Una calidesa nova li omplia el cor.En: A new warmth filled her heart.Ca: No era només el lloc, sinó la connexió amb els seus amics.En: It wasn't just the place, but the connection with her friends.Ca: “Quan estiguem junts, sempre podrem superar les nostres pors,” va murmurar, somrient.En: "When we're together, we can always overcome our fears," she murmured, smiling.Ca: Els seus amics van somriure de tornada, compartint una sensació de pau i unitat.En: Her friends smiled back, sharing a sense of peace and unity.Ca: Al baixar de la muntanya, Júlia sabia que havia trobat alguna cosa més que només respostes: una confiança renovada.En: As they descended the mountain, Júlia knew she had found something more than just answers: a renewed confidence.Ca: Va comprendre que la pau i el propòsit es construïen amb els moments compartits, no únicament a la meta final.En: She understood that peace and purpose were built with shared moments, not just at the final destination.Ca: I així, el viatge de tornada va ser més lleuger, il·luminat per la certesa d'un nou començament.En: And so, the journey back was lighter, illuminated by the certainty of a new beginning.

I'm just using restream so that I can stream to both YouTube and Twitch on Sundays.

“Questions, concerns, queries?” Lets chat!Something smells....GOOD!That's right - the focus of this week's episode of The Growing Season is designing a garden with fragrance in mind. Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland dive into all things smelly and they're not talking about Matt!Matt has a new member of the family and he explains the addition of the new addition. Bill Reid roses kick the show off in style.  If you've never heard of these roses Google them immediately. The difference in temperature between Algonquin Park and Bolton, Ontario is discussed.  Do women have a better sense of smell than men? Fragrance and pollinators are linked.  How?   You'll be surprised to find out. The trio's favourite smells are discussed.  HINT: look up Pinus mugo pumilo. Roses, hydrangea, lilac, lavender, lemon grass, citronella and more are just some of the plants that get some air time on the show. Moon gardens.  How would one go about creating one of these horticultural wonders. Sweet William!   THEY SMELL GREAT! Roses do not effectively repel mosquitos.  We did not know that. Climbing hydrangea take a LONG TIME to get established.  LIKE, A LONG TIME! Sam Neill is honoured. Tune in. Looking to book a consult for your property?  We'd love to help.  CLICK HERE.

If you are a woman over 40, burnout doesn't always come from working too hard. Sometimes it happens because you've slowly drifted away from the life you actually want.If you're a woman over 40 juggling career demands, family responsibilities, aging parents, relationships, and everyone else's expectations, you may recognize the feeling: you're constantly busy, yet somehow disconnected from yourself. In this powerful episode of the V.I.B.E. Living Podcast, we explore why so many midlife women feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and stuck—and how to begin finding their way back.Our guest is Dr. Cynthia Bentzen-Mercer, a board-certified executive coach, human capital strategist, and bestselling author who introduces a powerful framework she calls "drift"—the gradual, often unnoticed movement away from your values, priorities, and well-being. Together, we discuss why burnout is often an alignment problem rather than simply a workload problem.Cynthia shares her practical Five Ps of Human Flourishing—People Health, Physiological Health, Purpose, Prosperity, and Potential—and explains how they can help you identify where your energy is leaking and where meaningful change can begin. We also discuss the early warning signs of burnout, including chronic exhaustion, Sunday-night anxiety, emotional depletion, and the subtle ways women become trapped in cycles of complacency, avoidance, or constant caretaking.One of the most actionable moments of the conversation is Cynthia's Seven-Minute Pivot, a simple daily practice designed to help you stop feeling overwhelmed and begin making meaningful progress one intentional step at a time. We also tackle the difficult topics of boundaries, guilt, people-pleasing, and why learning to say "no" is often one of the healthiest decisions a woman can make.Whether you're navigating career burnout, a season of reinvention, empty nesting, caregiving, or simply wondering why life no longer feels aligned, this episode offers practical tools and fresh perspective to help you reconnect with what matters most.Cynthia also shares resources to continue your journey, including her diagnostic assessment and her books, Now, Near, Next, and Human Capital Investment Strategy.If this conversation encourages you, subscribe to the V.I.B.E. Living Podcast, leave a review, and share this episode with another woman who may be ready to stop drifting and start living with greater purpose, energy, and intention.Bio Dr. Cynthia Bentzen-Mercer is a Board-Certified Executive Coach, Human Capital Strategist, and bestselling author with more than 30 years of C-suite leadership experience. She is the creator of Stop Drifting: The Discipline of Direction™ — a framework that helps ambitious, overextended women identify where drift is quietly forming in their lives and reclaim intentional direction, one small pivot at a time.Her books Now, Near, Next, and Human Capital Investment Strategy have earned USA Today, LA Times, and Amazon bestseller recognition. She hosts the podcast Climbing the Corporate Ladder Without Breaking a Heel and speaks on stages ranging from Fortune 500 leadership forums to women's conferences worldwide.Dr. Cynthia's message is simple and urgent: high-performing women don't fail — they drift.

What happens when you spend years climbing the corporate ladder, building someone else's dream, and checking every box society tells you will lead to success—only to realize you're living a life that no longer feels like your own? In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with author, speaker, and transformational guide Becca Eve Young for a powerful conversation about corporate burnout, career success, personal growth, self-discovery, and redefining what it truly means to live an authentic life. After years of leading multimillion-dollar marketing initiatives and building what looked like the perfect life from the outside, everything began to unravel. Divorce. Career uncertainty. A global pandemic. Isolation in rural Mexico. What could have become the darkest chapter of her life instead became the beginning of her greatest transformation. Becca shares how stepping away from the constant pressure to perform allowed her to question the definition of success she had been chasing for decades. Through solitude, loss, and unexpected life changes, she discovered her own voice, embraced a more intentional way of living, and found the courage to stop following everyone else's script and start writing her own. If you've ever felt successful on paper but unfulfilled inside, this conversation offers a powerful reminder that sometimes losing the life you built is exactly what makes room for the life you were meant to live. About Becca Eve Young Becca Eve Young is an author, speaker, and transformational guide who helps founders, entrepreneurs, and leaders reconnect with their authentic voice after outgrowing the identities they've spent years building. After a successful corporate career leading branding and marketing initiatives for multimillion-dollar organizations, a series of life-changing events—including divorce, career disruption, and the pandemic—led her on a journey of profound personal transformation. Today, through her writing, coaching, and speaking, she helps others redefine success, trust their intuition, and build lives that reflect who they truly are rather than who they believe they're supposed to be.

#729: The U.S. added 57,000 jobs in June. Economists expected 115,000. Meanwhile, inflation hit a three-year high. The Personal Consumption Expenditures index - the Fed's favorite inflation gauge - jumped 4.1 percent year-over-year. That combination creates a problem. Weak jobs usually push the Fed to cut rates. Hot inflation pushes them to hike. In this First Friday episode, we break down which way the Fed might lean at its September meeting, and why traders see an 80 percent chance rates stay frozen for now. We also dig into Kevin Warsh's debut as Fed Chairman. His first official statement ran only 132 words, one of the shortest in Fed history. He cut forward guidance – the practice of making guesses about what the Fed will do next. He removed the names of dissenting voters. His statement mentioned price stability but skipped maximum employment, and we explain why that omission matters. Central banks around the world moved in the opposite direction. The European Central Bank raised rates for the first time since 2023, responding to a 10.9 percent surge in energy prices. The Bank of Japan hiked rates to their highest level in 31 years. Australia, Norway, Indonesia, the Philippines and Israel joined in. Brazil was the only country to cut rates – down to 14.25 percent. We cover China's consumer spending decline, the first since the pandemic ended, driven by a 16.1 percent drop in auto sales and a real estate crash that drained middle-class wealth. We end the episode with a deep dive into NYC's rent freeze – who gets the benefit, and who pays the price? ⏱️ Timestamps: Note: Timestamps will vary on individual listening devices based on dynamic advertising segments.

Full show notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/mitrix In this episode with Tom Benson, founder and CEO of Mitrix, you'll hear why mitochondrial decline may be the actual root cause of aging rather than just a downstream symptom of it, and why most of the drugs developed so far to address it don't touch the real problem: damaged mitochondrial DNA. We discuss how Tom's company grows new, healthy mitochondria inside a bioreactor using banked stem cells, what mitochondrial transplantation actually looks like in real human cases already happening today, and the mouse study that gives this episode its name, in which severely aged mice receiving repeated mitochondrial injections were, according to the technicians running the experiment, climbing the walls of their cages by the very next day. Tom also touches on his original theory on the mitochondrial cycle of the body, how mitlets differ from naked mitochondria, and what his own MitoClock test reveals using nothing more than a urine sample. Tom Benson is the CEO and founder of Mitrix. He is a serial entrepreneur and scientist who has founded four successful software, hardware, and science startups. He has published dozens of articles and video lectures on mitochondrial science and cellular energetics, and developed original theories on the systemic transfer and distribution of mitochondria within higher organisms and how that affects health and lifespan.
