Monday Morning Anxiety — Calm the Dread of the Week Ahead | Vagus Nerve Breathing Meditation Monday morning anxiety has a weight all of its own — that heavy, anticipatory dread that arrives before your feet have even touched the floor. In this 10-minute guided meditation, Calming Anxiety host Martin helps you put the whole week down and meet Monday with a nervous system that is working with you, not against you. Today's practice uses vagus nerve breathing — a slow nasal inhale, a gentle hold, and a long, soft exhale — to press the brake pedal on your stress response. Three guided rounds, followed by a warm golden-light body scan and a set of gentle affirmations for anxiety relief, work anxiety and the Sunday scaries that spill into Monday. It closes with three practical daily caring tips you can carry into the day. Whether you're listening in bed, on the train, in the car park, or in the ten quiet minutes before you walk in through those doors — this is deep relaxation and breathwork you can use anywhere. Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett. ⏱️ Time Chapters * 00:00 – Cold open: the weight of a Monday morning* 01:06 – Welcome to Calming Anxiety with Martin* 01:23 – Anchored: over 3,000 searchable sessions* 02:00 – Finding your quiet place and settling* 02:47 – Vagus nerve breathing: three guided rounds* 05:01 – Warm golden light body scan* 06:10 – Today's gentle affirmations* 08:30 – Your three daily caring tips* 09:17 – Coming gently back into the room* 09:38 – Closing thoughts and sign-off
Waking Up at 3am — Anxiety Relief to Get You Back to Sleep | Extended Exhale Breathing Waking up at 3am with anxiety is one of the loneliest experiences there is — your eyes open on their own, your heart is faster than it should be for someone lying perfectly still, and your mind has already found the one unfinished thought it saved up especially for now. This 10-minute guided meditation is built for exactly that hour. Martin explains why it happens: there is a small, ordinary rise in cortisol in the early hours meant to get your body ready for morning, and when you're anxious that rise arrives a little louder and wakes you. It isn't a warning. It isn't a sign. It's chemistry arriving early. From there the session uses extended exhale breathing — a gentle breath in, a brief pause, and an out-breath always longer than the in — because breathing out directly, mechanically slows your heart rate. It's the simplest somatic tool there is, and the one that works best lying down in the dark, when you don't want to count hard or hold anything. A warm light at the centre of the chest, gentle affirmations for sleep anxiety and insomnia relief, and three practical caring tips follow. If you drift off partway through, that's the point — let the voice fade.

In this episode of The D.O. Show, host Dustin Owen addresses a challenge that every loan officer faces at some point in their career: the anxiety and uncertainty that come when your pipeline suddenly drops to zero. Drawing on his two decades of hands-on experience in the mortgage industry, Dustin shares a practical, no-nonsense strategy for rebuilding your business from the ground up. He begins by emphasizing the importance of reconnecting with past clients, those individuals who already know, like, and trust you, and reminds listeners that these relationships can be a valuable source of repeat business and referrals. Dustin also discusses the value of reviving dormant leads, encouraging loan officers to reach out to prospects who may have gone cold or fallen off the radar. By re-engaging these contacts with authentic, personalized communication, you can often reignite interest and uncover new opportunities. In addition, Dustin highlights the critical role that referral partners and real estate agents play in filling your pipeline. He suggests setting up genuine, face-to-face conversations, whether over coffee, lunch, or a quick phone call, to strengthen these relationships and demonstrate your ongoing commitment to mutual success. Rather than getting distracted by the latest flashy marketing tactics or quick-fix solutions, Dustin advocates for a back-to-basics approach: consistent daily prospecting, disciplined time management, and diligent follow-up tracking. He stresses the importance of carving out dedicated time each day for outreach and relationship-building activities, and of keeping detailed records to ensure that no opportunity slips through the cracks. Throughout the episode, Dustin's core message remains clear: rebuilding a pipeline isn't complicated or mysterious. It's about persistence, having meaningful conversations, and establishing a sustainable routine that you can stick with over the long term. By focusing on these fundamentals and refusing to give up, any loan officer can overcome a zero pipeline and get back on track for lasting success. TLOP's Originator Coaching:
#1055 What if an idea inspired by a college “emotional support hamster” could eventually land your product on shelves in more than 2,000 stores across the country? In Part 1 of this two-part episode, host Brogan Williams sits down with Ethan Haber, founder and CEO of Happy Habitats, to unpack how he turned a simple question — “Why can't you walk your hamster?” — into a growing small-pet products company now carried by major retailers like Petco. Ethan shares how he validated his idea, navigated years of manufacturing setbacks, and kept going through COVID delays and an eight-month shipping nightmare before finally reaching profitability in 2026. He also breaks down what it takes to launch a physical product, why trade shows and honest customer feedback are so valuable, and how years of persistence, cold outreach, and relationship-building helped Happy Habitats expand into more than 2,000 retail doors across the country! What we discuss with Ethan: + From college idea to Petco + Reinventing the hamster ball + Validating a product idea + Manufacturing a physical product + Surviving major production delays + Breaking into retail stores + Trade shows and buyer relationships + Testing products with strangers + Cold outreach and persistence + Reaching 2,000+ retail doors Thank you, Ethan!

73% of business owners who say they're ready to sell are missing at least one of the two numbers required to know if a sale will actually work. In this episode, David breaks down a new data study of 10,548 business owner assessments and lays out the Readiness 360 — the three questions every owner has to answer honestly before they sit across from a buyer. Are you personally ready to let go? Is your business actually ready to be sold? And does the math even work?What You'll LearnThe two numbers every owner needs before they can know if a sale will work — and why 73% of owners are missing at least oneWhy even owners who did the homework still get bad news: 1 in 5 discover their business is worth less than they needThe “pushed vs. pulled” problem — why burnout and stress are driving more exits than actual planningWhy 25% of owners can't name a single thing they're excited about after the sale, and what that means for a dealThe eight drivers that determine whether your business survives buyer diligence — separate from how much cash it generatesTimestamps0:00 — Cold open: You've decided to sell.

Jay Gunkelman has read more than half a million brain scans — and this week host Pete Jansons handed him one he refused to read. Working through the recording, Jay's verdict wasn't a diagnosis or an interpretation. It was simpler: "This isn't real. Do it again."That kicks off a conversation with Jay and Dr. Mari Swingle about the thing that gets lost in all the excitement over brain maps: the interpretation is only as good as the recording underneath it. From the minimum standards most people skip, to the craft of pulling usable data off a squirming 4½-year-old, to why the best AI interpretation Jay has ever seen still only earns a C-minus — this one is about what separates real EEG from "We Map Your Crap." Plus a bonus segment with Joshua Moore on QEEG phenotypes.

October 8, 1976. Benton County, Indiana. A farmer discovers a large cardboard shipping box in his cornfield which contains the body of an elderly woman who has been shot through the head. Since the victim cannot be identified, she remains a Jane Doe and is nicknamed “The Box Lady of Benton County”. Nearly 50 years later, genetic genealogy finally identifies the victim as 69-year old Jane Hart, who lived in Chicago around the time of her death, but the identity of her killer and the motive for the crime remain unknown. On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore the unsolved murder of Jane Hart, a former Jane Doe whose recent identification has also brought up more questions than answers. In addition, this episode will also explore the story of a Jane Doe from Benton County, Arkansas who was found murdered in 1990, but was identified three decades later as a 28-year old victim named Donna Sue Nelton. Special thanks to listener Shane Beneke for narrating the opening of this episode. if you have information on the murder of Jane Hart, please contact the Benton County Sheriff's Office at (765) 884-0080. If you have any information about the murder of Donna Sue Nelton, please contact the Benton County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigation Division at (479) 271-1009.

Democrats trail Republicans in cash by nine figures. The DNC reported $16 million on hand against $17.9 million in debt. The RNC reported $130 million. Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers follow the money filling the gap, and most of it comes from senior citizens. A Stanford researcher spent eight months preparing an investigation for The New York Times. Fact checkers cleared it. Lawyers cleared it. Then the Elias Law Group sent cease and desist letters on behalf of Democratic committees, and the paper walked away. What the research found: a spam text pipeline built to squeeze a captive pool of elderly donors. An 85 year old man in Oxford, Ohio gave 7,800 times, nearly $650,000, more than double the value of his house. A 90 year old woman in an Indiana senior living facility gave more than 25,000 times, $250,000 in total. Fewer than 1% of Democrat donors account for almost half of the $1.4 billion these PACs have raised since 2017. One network alone pulled in $390 million. Most of the money never reaches a candidate. It recycles back into the fundraising operation. Hakeem Jeffries shows the shift in one chart. In 2018, his average donor was 54 and 21% were 65 or older. This cycle, his average donor is 73 and 86% are senior citizens. Then the midterm ledger. Ripple and Coinbase sit at the top of $230 million in special interest spending, ahead of Big Tech and Wall Street. FanDuel and DraftKings make the top six. George Soros has given more than $102 million this year. AIPAC drew headlines for $30 million behind Haley Stevens in Michigan, while the money moving against her opponent's opponent stays far harder to trace: a $200,000 super PAC check from Abdul El-Sayed's father-in-law, an Islamic Society of North America figure; $25,000 from an Egyptian American activist sentenced to life in absentia; $115,000 tied to people affiliated with the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Saudi Arabia spent $92 million on Washington lobbying last year with roughly 148 registered foreign agents. Peter and Eric close on Sharia law, Jesse Watters' interview with El-Sayed, and whether the red-green alliance holds long enough to make Michigan competitive.

In this episode: Jeanty's Sunday practice injury and what's known about the ankle sprain, Mike Washington Jr.'s preseason production (63 yards on 6 carries vs. Arizona, 56 yards on 9 carries vs. Houston) and what it means schematically under Kubiak, Kubiak's "job to lose" comment on Cousins, Fernando Mendoza's rough box score against Houston and the case for patience, Will Anderson's praise for Mendoza's poise, and a look at a struggling Raiders wide receiver room after Kubiak's blunt "we took a step backwards" comment.

Pat Boyle kicks off BetMGM Tonight After Dark alongside producer Brandon Combs for a spirited late-night edition of Hot or Cold, tackling the biggest controversies across the sports landscape. The guys jump right into the fiery debate over the Cleveland Browns' quarterback situation: Did Shedeur Sanders actually earn the starting gig over Deshaun Watson, or did Watson win the job by default? Pat and Combs clash over the Browns' front office strategy, player accountability, and whether Cleveland is wasting a season sticking with Watson. Plus, Combs shares his updates from the Little League World Series, sparks a heated debate over whether the game is called "Cornhole" or "Bags," and the guys answer a candid listener question: Who is the worst person you've ever had to root for as a fan?

Banks spend millions on carbon footprint. Banks have an engagement problem. Something is not working! This week I speak with Mathias Boissonot, Founder and CEO of Handprint and he makes a commercial case for a different model: instead of tracking what your customers do wrong, quantify what they're building right.Handprint powers ocean regeneration programs for banks like DBS, including coral reef restoration and mangrove planting that customers own, watch grow, and choose to fund with their spend. The result isn't just goodwill. It's an 875% increase in customer engagement compared to legacy carbon programs, and $23 million a year in verified ecosystem value returned to society.We get into why Mathias measures success by a metric most founders have never heard of: the "phoenix" over the unicorn, and the sales and founder lessons he's learned building the company from scratch.What you'll learnWhy carbon offsetting and "your carbon footprint" features fail to change customer behavior, and what the psychology actually isThe handprint model: quantifying positive impact instead of negative impact, and why that flips the entire customer relationshipHow banks turn nature engagement into a growth engine: referral programs with co-owned impact, nature cashback instead of standard cashbackWhy 62% of customers would switch banks over purpose misalignment, and 52% already haveThe phoenix metric: measuring company success in ecosystem value generated, not just valuationMathias's biggest founder mistakes, and the best sales advice he's ever received: "implicate the pain"Timestamps00:00 — Cold open: has carbon offsetting failed?04:40 — What Handprint actually does06:55 — Phoenix vs. unicorn: a new metric for success09:00 — $23 million in ecosystem value, every year18:30 — Why donation and carbon-guilt features don't work24:40 — Kill the cashback war: nature cashback instead27:30 — From cost center to growth engine: the 875% number32:30 — Building a company from Bali35:30 — Every mistake we could have made, we've made41:35 — Implicate the pain: the best sales advice he's received44:00 — Resilience, mindset, and having fun in the painConnect with Mathias:

There are some crimes that are just impossible to understand, not because the facts are unclear but because the darkness seems so out of place. One December morning in 1991, in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, eighteen-year-old Laurie Show never arrived at school. By the end of the day, a community that believed it knew its neighbors […] The post Cold Truth: The Murder of Laurie Show appeared first on Tiegrabber.
On the afternoon of July 5th, 2012, New Springville schoolteacher Simeonette Mapes-Crupi was found stabbed to death inside her own Staten Island home, just two days before what would have been her fifth wedding anniversary. Her husband, fellow teacher Jonathan Crupi, told police he'd come home to find the house ransacked. On the surface, it looked like a burglary gone wrong, but the deeper investigators looked, the more the "robbery" theory started to fall apart. What followed was a years-long investigation full of dead ends, a scoured crime scene, and a trail of digital evidence that would eventually crack the case wide open.Today's snack: Peanut Butter Passport (thanks Carla!)Support us on PatreonSources:"NYC School Teacher Simonette Mapes-Crupi Found Brutally Stabbed To Death."

Live Aug 23, 2026(Yaron & Nikos Dialogues, Episode 11)Patrick Deneen & The Post Liberal Right | Yaron & Nikos DialoguesPatrick Deneen says liberalism failed because it succeeded — freedom gave people too much of it, and now he wants a new elite to rule in the name of the "common good." Is that a critique of the West, or the oldest excuse for tyranny wearing a Notre Dame faculty badge?Patrick Deneen says America needs "regime change" — not at the ballot box, but a quiet takeover by a new elite who'll rule for the "common good" instead of individual rights. He calls it postliberalism. Yaron Brook calls it what it actually is: aristocracy with a syllabus.Deneen's bestselling books — Why Liberalism Failed and Regime Change — have become the intellectual bible of the post-liberal right, blurbed by Obama, quoted by JD Vance, cited by the "common good conservatives" reshaping the GOP. His argument: individual freedom itself is the disease. The cure is a ruling class willing to override your choices for the sake of the collective.In this episode of Yaron & Nikos Dialogues, Yaron Brook and Nikos Sotirakopoulos take Deneen's ideas apart line by line — where "common good" politics actually leads, why every attack on individualism ends up defending the same thing (power over you), and why the post-liberal right and the woke left are closer than either side wants to admit. If you've heard people say liberalism "went too far," this episode explains exactly what they mean — and why they're wrong.Main Topics: 00:00 — Cold open: what "regime change" actually means in Deneen's own words 06:30 — Who is Patrick Deneen, and why did Obama put him on a reading list? 15:00 — "Liberalism failed because it succeeded" — unpacking the core claim 26:00 — The "common good" con: how collectivism always smuggles itself in through a nice-sounding phrase 38:00 — Aristopopulism: Deneen's plan for a new elite to rule over the "many" 50:00 — Is this Catholic integralism with a populist paint job? 1:02:00 — Where the post-liberal right and the woke left secretly agreeLive Audience Questions: 1:14:00 — Is Deneen just describing real problems badly, or is his solution the actual danger? 1:20:30 — Does JD Vance actually believe this stuff, or is he just borrowing the vocabulary? 1:27:00 — Can a "new elite" ever rule for anyone but itself? 1:34:00 — Is national conservatism just socialism with incense and a flag? 1:41:00 — What's the actual liberal (classical) answer to the loneliness and rootlessness Deneen describes?
She studies why anti-racist professional development in schools so often fails to change how teachers actually treat students — and what works instead. Dr Abby C. Emerson is an assistant professor of Childhood Education at Hunter College, CUNY, where her research spans anti-racist and abolitionist teacher education, restorative justice, and the critique of whiteness in educational spaces. She's been named National Association for Multicultural Education's Critical Teacher of the Year, and this fall she releases her book, From Anti-Racism to Professional Learning for Liberating Schools, with Harvard Education Press. Most schools running anti-racist professional development hit the same wall: teachers learn the theory, reflect on their own bias, update a unit — and the discipline data doesn't move. Dr. Abby C. Emerson studied schools across New York City to find out why, and she found the fix isn't another workshop. It's handing the mic to students.
This week we close out our Kilgallen series with the questions the first three were building toward: who killed her, and where did her JFK file go.

Live August 21, 2026 | Yaron Brook Show(Season 12, Episode 141)Stanford Lets a Socialist Define Capitalism -- Answering Chiara Cordelli | Yaron Brook ShowWatch Now: https://youtube.com/live/RdW7wmHwW6wA political philosopher stood in front of Stanford students and told them capitalism's real sin isn't exploitation — it's that free people get to decide their own future without asking permission first. Nobody in that room challenged her. Yaron Brook does.Chiara Cordelli says the "wrong" of capitalism isn't profit, isn't inequality, isn't even exploitation — it's that private investors, not the collective, get to decide what the future looks like. Her fix? Democratize investment. Plan it. Take that decision out of your hands and put it in the state's.Yaron Brook takes her argument apart at the root: capitalism was never an "investment system," it's a rights system — the first social order in human history built on the principle that force has no place between people. Cordelli isn't describing a flaw in capitalism.

This week a total stranger handed NeuroNoodle his brain. He pulled his own EEG, stripped out every identifying detail, and asked host Pete Jansons and Jay Gunkelman — the man who's read over half a million brain scans — to "read my brain" live on the show. What follows is a rare, unscripted master class: Jay decoding a real, de-identified brain map in real time, with Dr. Mari Swingle on the clinical side. Along the way: how to catch a brain map that's lying to you (Gauss's Law), why a 50Hz hum means the scan is European, how a sleep spindle and an SMR are the same wave, what very fast "glutamate beta" can suggest about a hyper-excitable cortex — and why Jay says the DSM has "no predictive validity" for choosing treatment. Then the reveal: a sharp, high-IQ 25-year-old who moved back home and burned out — and what Jay and Dr. Mari would do about it. Plus Joshua Moore on QEEG phenotypes and the "85%" finding.
Trump posted a map of the Strait of Hormuz labeled "New US Territory" while the 60-day negotiating window with Iran expired with no talks scheduled. A preservation trust told the Supreme Court the White House is racing to pour concrete on a $400 million ballroom before a judge can stop it. Court filings in Minnesota describe federal agents recording meetings in churches and union halls. And Disney sued the FCC over a license review the agency has not ordered in fifty years. The thread: power is testing how much it can finish before anyone can stop it. The other half: a preservation trust said no, a media company sued, DNC members reversed a rule from the floor, and Alaska voters put contribution limits on their own politicians. The check only works when somebody insists on it. Plus the last primary night of the cycle, where money lost everywhere. Angie Nixon beat Alex Vindman by double digits against a 16-to-1 spending gap. Trump's endorsed governor pick lost in Wyoming on the same ballot that sent Harriet Hageman to the Senate nomination. And a full breakdown of what data centers actually do to your water, your power bill, and your county's job numbers, using the August 10 Brookings update and Congressional Research Service report R48646.

Mike, Ali, and Beau continue to recap and react to the Atlanta Braves losing to the Minnesota Twins yesterday 6-4 in Minnesota in the final game of their three game series and getting swept, and explain why they think the fatal flaw of the Braves offense is their inability to manufacture runs when their bats get cold and they can't hit consistently.
January 26, 1980. Nantucket, Massachusetts. The brother of 49-year old Margaret Kilcoyne wakes up and discovers that she is missing from her vacation home, even though her car, coat and winter boots have been left behind. Prior to her disappearance, Margaret had completed a scientific research breakthrough at her job in New York City, but was also displaying erratic behaviour to suggest she was suffering from mental health issues. Over one week later, some of Margaret's personal items, including her wallet and passport, are discovered in a swamp area about a mile from her residence, though the authorities suspect the items may have been planted there following the original search effort for her. While Margaret's brother believes that she chose to end her own life by walking to a nearby beach and drowning herself in the Atlantic Ocean, other people associated with the case suspect that something else happened, but no trace of Margaret is ever found. On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we travel to the island of Nantucket to explore what is considered to be the area's most famous mystery. If you have any information about this case, please contact the Nantucket Police Department at (508) 228-1212.

Our dear friends invited us to an event this weekend in LA… they are partnering with Gary Brecka to build Ultimate Longevity Centers which will bring treatments and testing that just hasn't been easily accessible before now. I believe the way we look at aging is outdated and I'm going to share the biggest take aways I got from his on stage message and chatting with him one on one. We are talking about very practical starting points and Gary Brecka's actual morning health routine. Stop waiting until something is wrong to start taking care of your body. We have been taught this idea that getting older automatically means getting weaker, having less energy, gaining weight, losing muscle, sleeping worse, becoming more anxious, needing more medications and eventually developing all of the diseases that "run in our family." Gary challenges a lot of that thinking. His message is essentially… What if we became obsessed with keeping our bodies functioning incredibly well for as long as possible? What if instead of asking, "How do I treat disease once I have it?" we asked, "How do I create a body that is incredibly difficult for disease to thrive in?" And then there's the longevity piece that completely fascinates me. Gary believes we're entering a period where medicine, AI, biological data and longevity research are going to advance so rapidly that lifespan could look radically different in the future. Maybe 120. Maybe beyond. We don't know. But what we do know is that we need to keep ourselves healthy enough NOW to benefit from whatever becomes possible later. So today's episode is about doing the things that give you the strongest, healthiest, most capable body possible. I've been listening to Gary Brecka talk about health, longevity, anxiety, genetics, sleep, sunlight, oxygen, muscle, bloodwork and what he believes is coming next in longevity science. THE BIG IDEA: YOUR HEALTH IS BUILT EVERY DAY One of my biggest takeaways from Gary is that health isn't something we deal with when there's a problem. It's something we're building every single day. Your sleep last night matters. What you do when you wake up matters. Whether you move your body matters. Whether you maintain muscle matters. Your metabolic health matters. Your stress matters. Your relationships matter. Your nutrition matters. Your environment matters. And individually, none of these things feels life-changing. But repeated for years and decades… they become your life. Gary describes his routine as simple, portable and repeatable. I LOVE that. Because the best health routine isn't the $100,000 biohacking setup. It's the one you'll actually do every day. HABIT #1: HYDRATE BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE Gary starts his morning with water and minerals. One version of his routine is a large glass of room-temperature water with mineral salt and sometimes lemon. His current routine also frequently includes mineral salt, hydrogen water and essential amino acids. Wake up and hydrate. You've just spent roughly eight hours without drinking anything. Don't make coffee your first liquid of the day. Put water next to your bathroom sink. Put it next to your coffee machine. Make it automatic. Gary likes mineral salt because sodium and other minerals participate in fluid balance and normal nerve and muscle function. HABIT #2: GET OUTSIDE FIRST THING Gary says to get outside within the first part of your morning and get natural outdoor light into your eyes. His routine generally calls for about 10 minutes outside. Morning light helps tell your brain: It's daytime. Start the clock. Light is one of the strongest environmental signals for the circadian system. Properly timed morning light can shift circadian timing earlier and increase daytime alertness. And I love thinking of sleep this way: Your good night's sleep starts in the morning. We tend to think sleep health starts when we crawl into bed. But your body has been receiving signals all day telling it when to be awake and when to prepare for sleep. HABIT #3: BREATHE ON PURPOSE Gary talks about oxygen constantly. His personal morning practice has included three rounds of deep breathing followed by breath holds. And this connects to another thing we've been talking about: Anxiety. I love the idea that when you feel anxious, you shouldn't immediately decide: "I'm an anxious person." Anxiety is a state your nervous system is experiencing. Sometimes your thoughts are driving your physiology. And sometimes your physiology can amplify anxious thoughts. Either way, changing the physical state can sometimes help change the mental state. Research on structured breathwork has found modest improvements in stress and anxiety, although it isn't a cure-all and the quality of studies varies. HABIT #4: GIVE YOUR BRAIN SILENCE Gary often combines his morning breathing with quiet, gratitude and reflection. He has described sitting quietly for around 10 minutes, looking toward the horizon or closing his eyes and thinking about gratitude. (PodScripts (https://podscripts.co/podcasts/the-ultimate-human-with-gary-brecka/246-gary-brecka-answers-googles-most-searched-questions-on-his-diet-wellness-and-lifestyle?utm_source=chatgpt.com)) Think about how different this is from what most of us do. Eyes open. Phone. Email. Instagram. News. Text messages. Stress. Other people's priorities. And we wonder why we feel overstimulated. TRY THIS: Before consuming everybody else's thoughts… Have some of your own. What am I grateful for? What matters today? Who needs me today? How do I want to feel today? What is actually important? PRACTICAL VERSION: Five minutes. That's it. No phone. No podcast. No input. Just quiet. HABIT #5: USE CONTROLLED DISCOMFORT Cold exposure is another major Brecka habit. If he has access to a cold plunge, he uses it. When traveling, he has said a cold shower works too. But I think there is a bigger lesson here than whether everybody needs to buy a cold plunge. Stop designing your entire life around comfort. Human beings are unbelievably adaptable. Exercise is stress. Heat is stress. Cold is stress. Fasting is stress. Challenging your brain is stress. The key is appropriate amounts of stress followed by recovery. HABIT #6: MOVE EARLY Gary includes movement in his morning routine. But here's what I love: It doesn't need to be a full workout. Walk. Stretch. Squat. Lift. Do yoga. Go outside. Movement tells your body: We're alive. We're using this machine today. And then keep moving after the morning is over. One exceptionally practical habit is walking after meals. Instead of finishing dinner and immediately sitting on the couch… WALK FOR 10 MINUTES. Moving skeletal muscle after eating can help the body handle glucose. You don't need workout clothes. You don't need a gym. You don't even need to sweat. Walk around your neighborhood. Walk your dog. Walk while you're on a phone call. ONE OF THE EASIEST HEALTH RULES: Eat → walk. HABIT #7: BUILD MUSCLE LIKE YOUR FUTURE DEPENDS ON IT This is where I think longevity conversations get really practical. MUSCLE IS NOT JUST ABOUT LOOKING GOOD. Maintaining muscle becomes increasingly important as we age. Resistance training is one of the most powerful non-drug strategies available for preserving and building skeletal muscle. Losing muscle eventually affects: strength balance mobility independence your ability to recover from illness your ability to do normal life You're not building your 2026 body. You're building your 2056 body. HABIT #8: PRIORITIZE PROTEIN AND REAL FOOD- avoid processed foods Gary emphasizes protein and essential amino acids because preserving lean tissue is a major part of his longevity philosophy. The research strongly supports resistance training for preserving muscle, while evidence regarding how much additional benefit comes from protein supplementation specifically is more mixed. HABIT #9: PROTECT YOUR METABOLIC HEALTH I think this deserves WAY more attention. We obsess over weight. Gary talks much more about metabolic health. There is a difference. Weight is one number. Metabolic health includes things like: blood glucose insulin sensitivity blood pressure blood lipids waist circumference fitness body composition Instead of only asking: "How much do I weigh?" Ask: "How well is my body functioning?" Someone can lose weight while losing muscle. Someone can be thin and still have poor metabolic health. PRACTICAL HABITS: Strength train. Walk. Walk after meals. Eat mostly whole foods. Get enough sleep. Maintain healthy body composition. Reduce constant snacking if it isn't serving you. Know your basic health numbers. THE GOAL ISN'T SKINNY. The goal is metabolically capable. HABIT #10: TEST… DON'T JUST GUESS This might be one of my favorite parts of Brecka's philosophy. Stop guessing about everything. If you're exhausted all the time… investigate. If you're unusually anxious… investigate. If your sleep has suddenly changed… investigate. If your energy has disappeared… investigate. If your hormones feel completely different… investigate. If you feel awful despite doing "everything right"… investigate. Don't immediately decide: "I'm getting old." "This runs in my family." "I'm just an anxious person." "My metabolism sucks." "This is just how I am." ASK BETTER QUESTIONS. Could something modifiable be contributing? sleep nutrient deficiencies thyroid function iron status medications hormones metabolic health stress alcohol caffeine environment psychological health This does NOT mean ordering every exotic test on the internet. It means becoming curious about your own biology. HABIT #11: DON'T TURN ANXIETY INTO YOUR IDENTITY This is worth repeating because I think this is such an important mental shift. Instead of: "I AM anxious." Try: "I'm experiencing anxiety." Those are very different statements. One is an identity. One is a temporary condition worth investigating. Gary's message leans heavily toward investigating biology. He talks about things like methylation pathways and MTHFR. There are legitimate genetic influences on anxiety. But anxiety is complex. Research suggests anxiety disorders arise through a combination of genetic vulnerability and environmental influences, not one single "anxiety gene." (PubMed (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15699295/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)) So I would approach it from ALL DIRECTIONS: Calm the body. Investigate the biology. Work on the thoughts. Breathwork. Sleep. Exercise. Less overstimulation. Healthy relationships. Therapy when needed. Medical evaluation when something feels physiologically off. Nutrition. Less caffeine when appropriate. Time outdoors. Don't choose between: "It's psychological." or "It's biological." It can be both. HABIT #12: GENETICS ARE INFORMATION… NOT ALWAYS DESTINY This is another Gary Brecka concept that I think is incredibly empowering when we phrase it accurately. People say: "Diabetes runs in my family." "Anxiety runs in my family." "Heart disease runs in my family." "Autoimmune disease runs in my family." And we can start thinking: Well… I guess that's coming for me too. But genetics often represent susceptibility rather than certainty. Your genes can increase risk. Your environment can increase or decrease risk. Your behaviors matter. Your metabolic health matters. Your exposures matter. Your entire biological environment matters. So instead of thinking: "My family gets this disease." Think: "I may have inherited a vulnerability. What parts of that vulnerability can I modify?" THAT is empowering. Important distinction: Some diseases absolutely are caused by inherited genetic mutations. So we should not say: "Genetic diseases aren't real." They absolutely are. The better message is: Genes can load the gun. They don't always pull the trigger. And with many complex chronic diseases, what ultimately happens involves an interaction between genetics and environment. HABIT #13: STOP THINKING OF SLEEP AS LOST PRODUCTIVITY Sleep is when your body gets to repair. And Brecka's evening routine reflects this. He emphasizes regular sleep, reducing stimulation late at night and setting up the next morning by protecting the night before. My favorite way to think about sleep: Tomorrow starts tonight. Stop trying to squeeze another hour out of your day if it destroys tomorrow. Decide when you're going to bed BEFORE you're tired. Dim things down. Get off your phone. Stop working. Let the nervous system receive a signal that the day is ending. Pick a bedtime and protect it the same way you'd protect an important meeting. NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT LIVING TO 120 The speed of advancement is changing. AI can analyze enormous amounts of biological data. Diagnostics are improving. Scientists are studying the actual biology of aging rather than treating aging purely as an unavoidable decline. Researchers are investigating cellular senescence, epigenetics, regenerative medicine and other mechanisms associated with biological aging. Gary believes these developments could eventually change human lifespan dramatically. And his argument is essentially: Stay alive and stay healthy long enough to benefit from what's coming. That hit me HARD. Because imagine being 75 in the future… But instead of arriving at 75: metabolically sick weak frail sedentary cognitively struggling carrying multiple preventable chronic illnesses You arrive: strong metabolically healthy active engaged cognitively sharp sleeping well maintaining muscle surrounded by people you love THAT is the bridge. Not: "How do I live forever today?" But: "How healthy can I be when tomorrow's medicine arrives?" DON'T JUST CHASE LIFESPAN. CHASE HEALTHSPAN. I don't want to simply exist until I'm 120. I want to LIVE. I want to: travel walk everywhere lift my suitcase play with grandchildren hike swim think clearly learn new things have great conversations have energy be independent laugh have purpose wake up excited THAT is longevity. Not adding years at the end where you can't live. Adding life to the years. WHAT SHOULD WE ACTUALLY DO RIGHT NOW? If you took this entire episode and boiled it down into a daily longevity checklist… MORNING Hydrate. Get outside. Get natural morning light. Breathe intentionally. Spend a few minutes in quiet. Think about gratitude. Move your body. Use cold exposure if you enjoy it and it's appropriate for you. Don't immediately flood your brain with stress. DURING THE DAY Eat nutrient-dense real food. Prioritize protein. Strength train consistently. Walk. Walk after meals. Stay metabolically healthy. Maintain muscle. Build meaningful relationships. Have purpose. Keep learning. Get outside. NIGHT Stop eating mindlessly late into the evening. Reduce stimulation. Get off the phone. Give yourself a predictable bedtime. Sleep. THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE Know your numbers. Do appropriate preventive screening. Investigate symptoms rather than ignoring them. Don't automatically assume something is "just aging." Don't automatically assume family history means destiny. Continue learning as science changes. Protect your muscle. Protect your metabolism. Protect your brain. Protect your relationships. Protect your sleep. THE SIMPLEST VERSION OF EVERYTHING GARY BRECKA IS SAYING 1. Get sunlight. 2. Breathe. 3. Hydrate. 4. Move. 5. Build muscle. 6. Eat real nutrient-dense food. 7. Protect your metabolism. 8. Sleep like it matters. 9. Challenge your body sometimes. 10. Investigate problems instead of simply accepting them. 11. Don't confuse genetic risk with guaranteed destiny. 12. Don't turn anxiety into your identity. 13. Build relationships and a life that gives you purpose. 14. Stay unbelievably healthy while longevity science continues advancing. And maybe most importantly… DON'T WAIT UNTIL YOU'RE SICK TO BECOME INTERESTED IN YOUR HEALTH. I learned that every single thing that gives me the best chance of being healthy at 120 also gives me a better life at 45. Getting sunlight tomorrow morning makes tomorrow better. Sleeping tonight makes tomorrow better. Building muscle makes this decade better. Eating well makes today better. Getting outside makes today better. Putting my phone down makes today better. Managing anxiety makes today better. Having people I love around me makes today better. So this isn't really an episode about trying to cheat death. It's about refusing to sleepwalk through your health. Your body is the vehicle that carries you through every single experience you're hoping to have. Every trip. Every adventure. Every business idea. Every dinner. Every workout. Every moment with your kids. Every future grandkid. Everything. So take ridiculously good care of it. And instead of looking at aging and thinking… "Well, I guess everything starts going downhill from here…" What if we thought completely differently? What if our goal was: I want to be stronger next year. Healthier next year. More metabolically healthy next year. More informed next year. More capable next year. And then do it again. And again. And again. For decades. Let's make the goal to be fully alive for as much of it as humanly possible. That's the health lesson I'm taking from Gary Brecka. Don't wait for the future of longevity medicine. Build the kind of body today that's ready for it.

¿Por qué el talento y la motivación están sobrevalorados? En este episodio de Dimes y Billetes hablamos con Martha Debayle sobre más de 25 años construyendo su marca personal y su imperio de medios, desde bbmundo hasta sus programas de radio. Platica sin filtro sobre el error que casi le cuesta su empresa (contratar y tener que despedir a un director general), el "síndrome del rey desnudo", su disciplina diaria, el momento en que un empleado de confianza le robó dinero, y sus mejores consejos financieros para mujeres: por qué no depender económicamente de nadie es no negociable. Cierra con una reflexión profunda sobre el "umbral de merecimiento" en México y qué le diría hoy a cualquier joven que no sabe qué estudiar.Prueba café el Capitalhttps://cafeelcapital.com/s/08a4840:00 – Cold open: disciplina, intuición y el poder de tener tu propio dinero 1:24 – Bienvenida: presentan a Martha Debayle 2:21 – Su lectura de la evolución de los medios desde 1999 4:02 – Cómo nació BebeMundo y el negocio del contenido de marca 7:26 – Por qué su marca personal ha evolucionado con cada etapa de su vida 9:41 – El secreto para mantenerte relevante sin perder tu esencia 10:37 – La anécdota de los "chilaquiles" que se volvieron virales (y por qué no se subió a esa ola) 12:27 – La diferencia entre tener audiencia y tener comunidad 15:12 – Su gran error: contratar (y tener que despedir) a un director general 19:16 – Cómo encontrar el balance entre delegar y no perder el control 22:49 – El síndrome del "rey desnudo": por qué nadie te dice tus verdades 26:08 – Por qué cree que el talento y la motivación están sobrevalorados 27:47 – "Lo hago no importando": su fórmula personal para la disciplina 30:12 – Lo que le enseñaron sus dos papás tan distintos entre sí 33:23 – La frase que la marcó: "que pasen más cosas por diseño y menos por accidente" 34:53 – Por qué no terminó la universidad (y cómo eso definió su carrera) 36:14 – Su divorcio como "una bendición escondida" 39:03 – La diferencia entre seguir tu intuición y "hacer pendejadas" 41:23 – Las 3 preguntas que se hace antes de meterse a cualquier negocio42:37 – Su lectura del "umbral de merecimiento" en México 47:25 – Por qué los países más prósperos creen que merecen más 55:36 – La conversación con un experto que la dejó pensando en la nueva generación 59:18 – Qué le diría a un joven que le pregunta qué debería estudiar 1:01:19 – "El problema es que hoy tienes que estudiar toda tu vida" 1:03:01 – Sus mejores consejos de dinero: el interés compuesto y el tiempo 1:04:21 – Por qué una mujer que no sabe de dinero no es independiente 1:07:18 – Diversificar inversiones e ingresos: su recomendación práctica 1:08:19 – La vez que un empleado de confianza le robó dinero 1:11:25 – Su filosofía sobre el dinero: vivir en abundancia y prestar sin esperar 1:14:37 – Por qué su círculo cercano de amigos es de solo 7 u 8 personas
Ask a question hereNatalie Hood continues her conversation with Dewey Case of the Council for the Model Aquatic Health Code, separating cold-plunge science from wellness-industry hype.Cold plunges may be popular, but cold water changes chemical reaction rates, sanitizer performance, testing accuracy, and the body's physiological response. Being young, athletic, or highly experienced around water does not make anyone immune to blood-sugar crashes, loss of consciousness, drowning, or other emergencies.Natalie and Dewey discuss why cold-water samples should be allowed to warm before testing, why commercial plunges should strongly consider supplemental treatment such as UV, ozone, or advanced oxidation, and why a quick pre-entry rinse can remove a surprising amount of contamination before it enters a very small body of water.They also address the biggest myth of all: because someone only spends a few minutes in a cold plunge, the risk must be low. The exposure may be short, but the risks are not necessarily smaller—they are simply different.Topics discussed include:Why even healthy, conditioned athletes can experience emergenciesThe dangers of using a cold plunge, pool, or spa aloneHow cold temperatures affect water-testing reactionsWhy cold samples should be capped and warmed before testingReduced sanitizer reaction rates in cold waterWhy small water volume and heavy bather loads create greater riskThe value of UV, ozone, and advanced oxidationSweat, ammonia, urea, dirt, and everything else bathers drag into the waterWhy pre-entry showers matterHow a simple rinse can substantially reduce contaminantsWhy short exposure does not automatically mean low riskThe importance of supervision, maintenance, testing, and operator diligenceThe takeaway is simple: be diligent. Know what the water is doing, test it regularly, maintain the vessel properly, and never assume that experience or physical fitness makes someone bulletproof.Download the Cold Water Venue Guidance from the Council for the Model Aquatic Health Code.Natalie also shares an update on her Tennessee Triple Crown Open Water Swim Challenge. She will swim more than 21 miles across three open-water marathon events to benefit Every Child a Swimmer through her fundraiser, She Swims So They Can.Special thanks to campaign sponsors Revved Up Apparel, H2Flow Controls, Tenjam, and Talking Pools Podcast.

In today's talk, I share my thoughts on cold outreach. Is this a useful skill or a useless skill? My answer will surprise you. CONQUER SHYNESS
We're still surprised people did this but... 50+ founders worth $10M to $4B reveal their personal finances. Here it is: https://joinhampton.com/mw-wrWhy do we do this? Because if you're an aspirational person or someone who runs a business and is making money, it's incredibly challenging to figure out what to do. Information is impossible to find — and that's what we put together: the net worth reveal and why we do this podcast, Moneywise.A $3 billion founder's money advice: keep driving the Chevrolet. Here's why the richest guests all say the same five things.After 100+ episodes of Moneywise, the same five spending refusals kept showing up — from a $3B founder who's never sold a company, a guy who lost 95% of his net worth and won't buy his own socks, and Bryan Johnson, who spends $2M a year on his body and almost nothing on anything else. None of them read the research. There's 50 years of it, and they all landed in the same place anyway.This episode covers all five: first class, new cars, meaningless stuff, angel checks, and kids' comfort — plus the study behind each one (lottery winners, the MIT Celtics auction, the marshmallow test follow-up). Then Anne Mahlum, who sold SolidCore for nearly $100M and forces herself to spend $200K/month, tears the whole list apart. The episode ends with a 10-minute exercise using two questions that decide what stays on your card statement.Also, this podcast is made by Hampton, which is a community for founders doing on average $20 million a year in revenue. We saw a lot of these money conversations happening privately behind closed doors and we thought, "What the heck, let's make it public."

Holly Budge is a global keynote speaker on risk, innovation, and human potential, operating at the intersection of conservation, science, and bold ideas. As an Everest summiteer and the first woman to skydive Everest, she now focuses less on surviving extremes and more on solving the complex conservation challenges shaping our future. As founder of international NGO How Many Elephants and World Female Ranger Week, Holly explores how nature, technology, and innovation can work together to design smarter systems, from using bees as bio-engineers to reduce human-elephant conflict in Africa, to empowering women as front-line wildlife rangers. Her work has reached over 500 million people globally, been featured in Forbes, and praised by Sir David Attenborough. In this episode, Holly shares powerful insights from her journey between extreme adventure and global conservation work, including how her definition of risk and purpose has evolved over time. We dive into the real-world impact of wildlife conservation projects, from elephant corridors and bee-based deterrents to the rise of female ranger teams protecting some of the world's most vulnerable ecosystems. Listen to this episode to hear how adventure can become a force for global change, why women are reshaping the future of conservation, and what it takes to turn bold ideas into real-world impact at scale. *** New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)!

What happens when a journalist who hates the cold decides to spend three years immersing himself in one of the most extreme athletic subcultures on Earth? In this fascinating conversation, Darin sits down with award-winning journalist and author Chris Ballard to explore the world behind his book The Plunge. After a hip replacement at just 42 forced Chris to rethink his identity as an athlete, cold water initially became a tool for recovery. But curiosity eventually pulled him much deeper, from cold showers and plunges to competitive ice swimming in water below 41°F and ultimately representing the United States at the Ice Swimming World Championships. Together, Darin and Chris separate cold exposure hype from reality, explore what actually happens to the body in freezing water, and reveal why the greatest benefits Chris discovered weren't necessarily physical. They dive into resilience, emotional regulation, mental health, community, our increasingly comfortable modern lives, and why voluntarily doing difficult things may provide something many of us desperately need. What You'll Learn How a hip replacement at 42 led Chris into the world of cold exposure What officially qualifies as ice swimming and why 41°F is the threshold Which popular cold plunge benefits may be overhyped Why community became the most surprising theme of Chris's research How body composition and genetics influence cold tolerance The real dangers of extreme cold and the 1-10-1 survival rule How repeated cold exposure may train emotional regulation and resilience Why cultures in Finland and Denmark treat cold exposure completely differently than Americans How cold swimming has helped some people navigate grief, depression, and isolation Why deliberately doing hard things may matter more than ever in a world built around convenience Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Alkemis 00:03:24 – Introducing Chris Ballard and the world of cold water swimming 00:04:29 – The hip replacement that changed Chris's life at 42 00:05:40 – How NBA recovery techniques led him to cold exposure 00:07:34 – Going from cold plunges to competitive ice swimming 00:09:40 – Inside the extreme subculture of swimming below 41°F 00:11:01 – The challenge that convinced Chris to compete himself 00:12:17 – Ice swimming and the original spirit of the Winter Olympics 00:13:21 – How to safely begin training for cold exposure 00:15:14 – What officially qualifies as ice swimming? 00:16:20 – Separating cold plunge science from hype 00:17:15 – The most surprising benefit wasn't physical 00:18:05 – Why cold swimming creates such powerful community 00:19:29 – Cold exposure, loneliness, and human connection 00:20:45 – Sponsor: Shakeology 00:22:33 – Why actually getting in the water changed Chris's reporting 00:23:47 – The surprising body type advantage in cold water 00:25:19 – Grandmothers, elite athletes, and the mental side of ice swimming 00:26:09 – When cold water becomes genuinely dangerous 00:27:02 – The 1-10-1 rule for surviving cold water 00:29:41 – Chris attempts an ice kilometer 00:30:28 – Has modern comfort made us weaker? 00:32:19 – Why Finland laughs at America's cold plunge protocols 00:33:36 – The cold plunge benefits that may be overhyped 00:35:51 – Can you train your body to generate heat? 00:36:51 – Anticipatory thermogenesis and extreme cold adaptation 00:38:12 – How three years of cold exposure changed Chris's body 00:39:44 – Training emotional regulation through voluntary discomfort 00:40:48 – Building resilience one difficult moment at a time 00:42:02 – Why modern life is starving us of accomplishment 00:44:13 – AI, shortcuts, and why difficult work still matters 00:46:30 – Why Chris believes experiential storytelling can't be replaced 00:48:55 – The extraordinary people Chris discovered while writing The Plunge 00:49:57 – Cold water, grief, and finding a reason to keep moving 00:50:52 – How cold swimming became a mental health lifeline 00:52:09 – A global community united by challenge 00:53:51 – What Chris's cold exposure routine looks like today 00:54:27 – Why swimming may be the perfect lifelong sport 00:55:05 – Making the U.S. Ice Swimming National Team 00:56:05 – Could ice swimming become an Olympic sport? 00:57:17 – Why swimming through freezing water feels completely different 00:58:01 – Cold water forces you completely into the present moment 00:58:29 – Cold swimming, men's mental health, and escaping your thoughts 00:59:13 – What's next for Chris Ballard 00:59:35 – Accomplishment versus scrolling 01:00:00 – Final thoughts and making cold exposure accessible Thank You to Our Sponsors Alkemis: Go to https://alkemispaint.com/ and use code DARIN10 for 10% off your order.
