Why do cyclists in London run red lights? It's against the law, and yet, if you've cycled, driven or just observed London's cyclists, you'll know that many of them don't stop when there's a red light. Confession time: I'm one of them. Not all the time, but some of the time, and weirdly not when I'm in Munich — the other city I live in — but only in London.The question of why this happens — not just my red light running, but the act in general — is the subject of this episode. Because I think this seemingly simple act can reveal so much about our compliance with rules, our perception of risk, and the way environments shape behaviour.To unpack these insights, I'm joined by Ella Jenkins, Associate Director at Thinks Insight, and Pete Dyson, a behavioural science researcher at the University of Bath and co-author of Transport for Humans.  They've been part of a research team on a study commissioned by Lime, the electric bike and scooter company, which explores why cyclists in London behave the way they do.What we discover isn't about recklessness—it's about confidence, social signalling, poor infrastructure, and the surprising psychology of compliance. In our conversation, we examine the drivers of red-light running, the effectiveness of different interventions, and what this means for broader behaviour change.Whether you're a policymaker, a cyclist, or simply someone curious about how our minds and cities interact, this episode offers practical insights into one of the most visible — and misunderstood — forms of everyday noncompliance.Guest BiographiesElla Jenkins is an Associate Director at Thinks Insight, a strategy and research consultancy that helps clients understand human behaviour and deliver change. She led the research project commissioned by Lime to understand why cyclists in London run red lights. With a background in behavioural science and a passion for applying insights in real-world contexts, Ella brings both analytical rigour and empathy to her work.Pete Dyson is a behavioural science researcher at the University of Bath, where he focuses on transport systems and human behaviour. He is the co-author with Rory Sutherland of the influential book Transport for Humans: Are we nearly there yet? and previously served as the Principal Behavioural Scientist at the UK Department for Transport. He's also the current Cycling Mayor for the UK City of Bath.Pete blends practical policymaking experience with a deep understanding of the behavioural levers that shape how we move through the world.AI-Generated Timestamped Summary[00:00:00] Introduction and personal confession about red-light running[00:01:15] Overview of the Lime-commissioned research [00:03:20] Introducing Ella Jenkins and Pete Dyson[00:05:45] The origins and goals of the study[00:09:05] Red-light running as a defensive rather than reckless behaviour[00:12:08] Confidence and frequency of cycling linked to rule-breaking[00:13:14] Perceptions versus reality of who breaks the rules[00:16:32] The role of infrastructure and signal phasing[00:18:54] Social norms and peer influence on cyclist behaviour[00:21:46] Trust in the rules versus lived reality [00:24:20] Designing for behavioural cues[00:28:15] Comparison with other cities like Munich [00:30:58] The emotional context of cycling[00:34:46] Enforcement and views on potential interventions[00:38:12] Habit formation and unintended nudges [00:41:23] The interplay between education and empathy[00:46:49] Final reflections and Christian's closing thoughtsLinksElla on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ella-jenkins/Pete on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pete-dyson-9ba5301b/What drives red light running in London cyclists?, the research we discuss: https://fileserver.britainthinks.com/dl/wH4CcDyRg8bVThinks Insight: https://www.thinksinsight.com/Lime Bikes: https://www.li.me/en-gbTransport for Humans: https://www.transportforhumans.com/Pete's previous appearance on the show talking about Transport for Humans: https://www.humanriskpodcast.com/pete-dyson-on-making-transport-more-human/The announcement of Pete as Cycling Mayor of Bath: https://www.bath.ac.uk/announcements/the-bicycle-mayor-of-bath-pete-dyson/

Mid-life crises have a bad rap.

NIMBY vs YIMBY? Is saying “no” to change protecting community character — or blocking the homes our cities desperately need? In this episode, we sit down with Jonathan O’Brien, lead organizer of YIMBY Melbourne, to unpack what’s at stake when communities resist — or embrace — change. We dig into whether opposing development is simply selfish or a legitimate defense of lifestyle and character, and whether YIMBY optimism sometimes overlooks practical realities. From heritage streetscapes and leafy suburbs to missing-middle density and downsizer demand, this is a frank look at the trade-offs that come with growth. Jonathan also explores the politics of planning: why local councils resist, why states override, and why those locked out of housing are the most under-represented stakeholders in the debate. We tackle sensitive questions about fairness: who pays when new homes aren’t built, and who loses when change does come? If you’ve ever wondered why housing reform feels so stuck, and why both sides of the NIMBY/YIMBY divide can be right and wrong at the same time, this episode will challenge assumptions and reframe the conversation. Episode Highlights 00:00 – Welcome 01:14 – Jonathan O'Brien's and YIMBY Melbourne 01:48 – Progress and Challenges in Melbourne's Housing Policy 03:21 – Success Stories and Comparisons with Sydney 04:44 – Docklands: A Controversial Development 07:39 – The Missing Middle and Medium Density Housing 22:06 – Balancing Heritage and Development 28:39 – Planning Regulation Challenges 30:01 – Developer Strategies and Urban Planning 31:39 – Heritage and Housing Density 32:47 – Quality Concerns in New Developments 35:07 – Zoning and Urban Planning Dynamics 38:27 – Economic and Social Impacts of Rezoning 41:53 – Balancing Development and Community Needs 50:13 – State vs. Local Control in Urban Planning 52:05 – Conclusion and Final Thoughts About the Guest Jonathan O’Brien is the lead organizer of YIMBY Melbourne, an advocate for smarter housing policy, and an award-winning writer and publisher. A passionate voice for effective altruism and urban reform, he works to shift the conversation around density, planning, and affordability toward more equitable outcomes. With a background in community organizing and a commitment to evidence-based change, Jonathan brings both sharp analysis and lived experience to the often polarizing debate between NIMBYs and YIMBYs. His mission: to help shape cities that are inclusive, adaptable, and built for the next generation.

We all see others with more… better careers, happier lives, stylish homes, perfectly behaved kids and we get envious.

Janna Faith tackles the anxiety many girls feel about appearance and self-image, showing from Scripture that true beauty starts on the inside. Drawing on Ezekiel 16, 1 Peter 3, and 1 Timothy 2, she contrasts trusting in outward beauty with trusting the Lord, exposes common “mirror myths,” and offers practical steps to grow inner character. The episode closes with heart-searching questions that move listeners from comparison to Christ-centered confidence.Topics DiscussedGod's view of beauty (Ezekiel 16; “trusting in your own beauty” vs. trusting God).“Mirror myths,” such as What you see is who you are, What you see is what others see, “If I don't look good enough, I'll never get married.”Biblical modesty and insecurity signals (1 Timothy 2:9) and inward adornment (1 Peter 3:3–4).Comparison traps and imitating others vs. living God's unique design for you.Beauty's brevity vs. character's permanence; cultivating virtues like faith, mercy, love, and joy.Reflection questions to redirect focus from appearance to Christlike character.Key TakeawaysBeauty isn't bad—idolatry is. God delights to beautify His people, but trusting in beauty derails the heart.Inner virtue = true value. Character, not cosmetics, is what lasts and what people ultimately experience.Comparison kills contentment. Stop copying others; embrace who God made you to be and the mission He's given you.Modesty communicates security. Immodesty often signals inner emptiness; a meek and quiet spirit is precious to God.Grow the inside on purpose. Pray specific prayers to develop faith, mercy, love, and joy—and talk about things that matter.Faith Talks is a monthly program on the Thee Generation podcast designed to help young ladies discover greater ways to nurture and exercise their faith in their day-to-day walk with Christ.

This week on the podcast, I'm diving into a topic that's been on my mind a lot lately—competition vs. cooperation. We live in a world (and even within mission culture) where competition often takes center stage—ranking, comparing, pushing to be “the best.” But what happens when we shift our focus to cooperation instead? What if the real strength and success come from uniting, including, and building each other up? In this episode, I share personal stories, observations from ward and youth activities, and even lessons from parenting that helped me see the contrast between these two approaches. We'll talk about the energy competition can create, but also the hierarchies and division it sometimes leaves behind. Then, we'll explore how cooperation fosters unity, abundance, and the kind of Christlike leadership we need more of on the mission and in life. Whether you're a preparing missionary learning to manage expectations, a currently serving missionary working in a district or zone, a returned missionary trying to let go of comparison, or a missionary mom/leader wondering how to encourage unity—this conversation will give you new perspectives and practical tools to notice where competition is creeping in, and how to intentionally lean into cooperation instead. Because when we choose cooperation, everyone wins. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did.

In this inaugural episode of The Energy Code, Dr. Mike Belkowski officially launches the podcast's next evolution—expanding beyond red light therapy into a broader framework of mitochondrial health, performance, and longevity.   Dr. Mike explains why The Red Light Report is rebranding and how this new chapter will embrace the Mitochondrial Matrix—a flexible, expanding framework of modalities, molecules, and lifestyle strategies designed to upgrade your cellular energy system.   At the heart of this episode is a deep dive into urolithin A and B, two emerging powerhouse compounds shown to activate mitophagy, optimize mitochondrial efficiency, support muscle strength, and even protect against neurodegeneration and osteoarthritis. You'll learn how these metabolites—found in pomegranates but best delivered in supplement form—fit into the mitochondrial matrix, and why they may become a cornerstone for anti-aging and vitality.   Finally, Dr. Mike introduces BioLithin, BioLight's brand-new supplement that combines high-purity urolithin A, urolithin B, and taurine from pomegranate peel for unmatched mitochondrial support.   Expect both a big-picture reframe of the podcast's mission and practical insights into how to leverage cutting-edge science to keep your mitochondria young, strong, and resilient. Key Topics Covered: Why The Red Light Report is evolving into The Energy Code The shift from the Mitochondrial Triad to the Mitochondrial Matrix What mitophagy is and why it's critical for health and longevity How urolithin A and B enhance mitochondrial function, strength, and resilience The latest research on urolithins for anti-aging, cancer, cognition, and anxiety Why supplement sourcing (pomegranate peel vs. juice) matters for efficacy The launch of BioLithin: the first supplement to combine urolithin A, urolithin B, and taurine Key Quotes from Dr. Mike: “Urolithin A doesn't hype your mitochondria—it housekeeps them.” “Strength loss is one of the biggest contributors to aging. If urolithin B helps maintain muscle, that's a game-changer.” “Instead of chasing the next biohack, we're building the Mitochondrial Matrix—a foundation you can layer for compounding benefits.” “With the right tools, your body knows how to heal. All we're doing is fueling the mitochondria to do their job.” Episode Timeline:   00:00:00 – Welcome to The Energy Code: why the rebrand 00:07:00 – From the Mitochondrial Triad to the Mitochondrial Matrix 00:14:00 – Mitophagy explained: the “garbage cleanup” of your cells 00:19:00 – Urolithin A: mitochondrial quality control & endurance benefits 00:27:00 – Urolithin B: anabolic potential, strength, and joint protection 00:37:00 – Emerging research: cancer, cognition, and anxiety applications 00:56:00 – BioListen unveiled: urolithin A + B + taurine supplement 01:10:00 – How to integrate BioListen into your regimen 01:13:00 – Closing thoughts: raising your cellular voltage for vitality Resources & Articles Referenced: Evaluation and Comparison of the Anti-Metastatic Effects of Urolithin A and B in Esophageal Cancer Cells (2025)​ Urolithin A Protects Against Domoic Acid-Induced Cognitive Deficits via Mitochondrial Biogenesis (2025)​ Urolithin A Abolishes High Anxiety and Restores Mitochondrial Signatures in the Brain (2025)​ Urolithin B Reduces Cartilage Degeneration and Alleviates Osteoarthritis (2024) Special Offer: ⚡️ NEW PRODUCT FROM BIOLIGHT!! ⚡️Introducing....  BioLithin!!!   Your cells are powered by mitochondria — the tiny engines that produce the energy you need to move, think, and thrive. As we age, mitochondrial efficiency naturally declines, which can affect everything from vitality and stamina to how quickly you recover.   Unlike most supplements that focus only on Urolithin A, BioLithin pairs Urolithin A and Urolithin B with taurine, creating a more comprehensive approach to mitochondrial optimization. This three-pronged formula is designed for individuals seeking to maximize their energy, longevity, and daily performance at the cellular level.   Why Choose BioLithin? Dual-action urolithins (A + B) from pomegranate peel Synergistic taurine for mitochondrial resilience Clean, effective, and science-driven formulation Made for biohackers, longevity enthusiasts, and anyone looking to sustain their cellular energy over time Pre-order* BioLithin today and save 20%!Choose the subscription option for  BioLithin and save an additional 20% on top of the subscription discount (typically discounts cannot be combined with subscription discounts) AND retain that discount as long as you maintain the subscription.

Have you ever felt pressure to be the “perfect” teacher—or the “perfect” student?In this honest and heartfelt conversation, Byron de Marse shares his personal experiences of becoming a teacher and the complex relationship that develops between teacher and student. He explores how stepping into the role of a teacher often brings up feelings of doubt, discomfort, and the fear of being seen. But rather than avoiding these feelings, Byron believes they are invitations to grow.The episode touches on how students often project ideas onto their teachers—seeing them as more wise, perfect, or powerful than they really are. This can create tension on both sides. Byron speaks openly about the responsibility teachers hold, the need to keep learning, and how being a teacher is really about being in service—not in control.He also dives into the importance of confidence, vulnerability, and humility in both teaching and learning. Whether you're new to teaching or deep in your practice, this episode is a reminder that nobody has it all figured out—and that's okay.✨ This episode will leave you thinking deeply about the energy you bring into the spaces you hold, and how we can all honor the sacred exchange between student and teacher.—-------—-------—-Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:04:10 Byron's Journey into Teaching00:11:44 The Power Dynamic in Student-Teacher Relationships00:16:30 Projecting Perfection and Receiving Projection00:22:55 Teaching as a Mirror00:29:35 Vulnerability and Confidence as a Teacher00:35:58 Owning the Seat of the Teacher00:41:02 When the Student Becomes the Teacher00:47:19 Closing Reflections on Teaching with Integrity—-------—-------—-

This week we are addressing the comparison game that so many of us are playing.  We have a real and raw conversation on how comparison has been the thief of joyful moments with our dogs. We both find that we don't compare our dogs' abilities to other dogs but instead compare our individual shortcomings to other more successful or experienced handlers. Realistically we should be proud of both our small and big accomplishments we experience with our dogs. So instead of finding ways to compare ourselves to others, we are committing to finding the joy in a variety of moments with our dogs.

God says not to compare yourself to others because it is unwise, leads to pride or bitterness, and distracts from your true purpose. Instead, focus on your unique work, acknowledge your divine gifts, and find contentment in Christ, who provides all you need. Comparing yourself to others is a spiritually unhealthy practice that keeps you from appreciating your individual path and God's purpose for you.

It’s September—the “January of Fall”! In this energizing and relatable episode, Heather Creekmore welcomes productivity and balance expert Leah Remillet to talk all about busyness, productivity traps, and how to refocus on what truly matters as routines pick up and our schedules start to fill. Episode Highlights: September as a Fresh Start:Heather and Leah discuss why September often feels like a more realistic time for fresh starts than January, especially for women who manage families and homes. Busyness vs. Productivity:Leah shares what it really means to be productive, and why being “busy” doesn’t always correspond to truly living or achieving your goals. The "Why" Behind Your Hustle:Discover Leah’s favorite foundational exercise: asking yourself “why” five times to get to the heart of what you want most out of your time and activities. The deeper you go, the more clarity you’ll have for setting up a life you genuinely love. Distraction Cycles & Phone Habits:From endless scrolling to notifications, hear practical tips to reclaim your focus—starting with Leah’s real-life suggestions, like removing distracting apps or setting boundaries on tech use (even her 80-year-old dad is joining in!). The Power of Incremental Change:Both Heather and Leah reflect on how going “all-in” doesn’t last. Real, lasting change is about taking small, sustainable steps—embracing the wisdom of the tortoise, not the hare. Making White Space & Rest Guilt-Free:If sitting still makes you uncomfortable, you’re not alone! Hear about Leah’s journey towards valuing unstructured time, how she learned to let go of productivity guilt, and why we all need more “white space” on our calendars to really be present. The Default Settings of Our Lives:Leah encourages listeners to treat their routines like they would a new device—customize the default settings with intention! She and Heather provide practical ideas for planning, creating rest, and finding your own version of a “mini vacation” every day.

Episode Info In this episode, I explore the paradox that is insurance. We buy risk from others, yet we are risk averse ourselves. Looking at the work of underwriters as compared to venture investors, you find that the skillset is actually nearly identical, but it's being deployed in opposite directions. I discuss that, why that might be, and what someone trying to bring innovation and change to insurance should keep in mind given this reality. Episode Highlights This episode is a unique and shorter installment with insights and reflections rather than our normal interview format. The focus is on exploring the concept of risk aversion within the insurance industry and comparing it to the venture capital world. Key Topics Discussed: Risk Aversion in Insurance:I see a paradox of risk aversion in an industry that essentially deals with buying and managing risk. Despite being in the business of risk, the insurance industry tends to be conservative and slow to change. Comparison with Venture Capital:A comparison is drawn between underwriters and venture capitalists, highlighting how both evaluate businesses but from different perspectives. While venture capitalists have a capped downside and potentially unlimited upside, underwriters face a capped upside and potentially unlimited downside. Analogies and Insights:I compare this to the Netflix show "Stranger Things" to describe the contrasting worlds of insurance and venture capital, likening them to the "Upside Down" and the real world. Economic Perspectives:Discussion on the economic frameworks within which underwriters and venture capitalists operate, emphasizing the differences in risk and reward dynamics. Personal Reflections:The episode includes personal anecdotes and reflections on the nature of risk, decision-making, and the psychological aspects of dealing with uncertainty. Conclusion: The episode concludes with a call to embrace conversations about risk and change, encouraging listeners to prepare for and adapt to new challenges in their professional environments.

Feeling the post-summer financial fog? You're not alone—but now's the perfect time to reset.Summer is a season of rest, family, and fun—but it can also knock our financial habits off course. That's why fall is an ideal time to pause, reflect, and get back on track. Let's explore six small but meaningful steps that can help realign your finances with your goals—and your faith.Summer Spending Can Leave You Off BalanceSummer often brings looser schedules and, sometimes, looser spending. That's okay—we need time to rest. But if your finances feel off-center, it may be time for a reset.1. Review Your Summer SpendingBefore moving forward, look back. Did your summer spending reflect your values or just your impulses? Whether it was vacations, eating out, or spontaneous purchases, reviewing where your money went brings clarity. Think of it as an act of stewardship—learning from the past so you can plan better for the future.2. Revisit Your BudgetSeasons change—and so do financial rhythms. Back-to-school costs, higher grocery bills, or other expenses may have shifted your cash flow. Revisit your budget to ensure it reflects your priorities: generosity, saving, and wise spending.A helpful tool: The FaithFi app makes budgeting a daily reminder that every dollar belongs to God. It helps you plan and track your finances in alignment with your faith.3. Check for Missed PaymentsLife gets busy, and bills sometimes slip through the cracks. Go back and confirm you haven't missed any payments. Even one late bill can hurt your credit. Also, review your autopay accounts to ensure everything is running smoothly. A little attention here prevents bigger headaches later.4. Catch Up on Your GivingGenerosity sometimes takes a backseat in busy seasons. If that happened this summer, take time to prayerfully revisit your giving. Ask yourself: Has God blessed me in a way that calls for deeper generosity? Whether to your church, a ministry, or a neighbor in need, giving is more than duty—it's an expression of trust in God as your ultimate provider.5. Tackle That Financial To-DoWe all have one thing on our financial to-do list that gets pushed aside—reviewing insurance, starting a will, or scheduling a meeting with an advisor. Stewardship often looks like taking the next step, even if it's small or unglamorous.6. Look Ahead with WisdomFall is a season of preparation. Anticipate upcoming costs, such as school expenses, open enrollment, holiday shopping, or tax planning. Mark dates and set reminders now so you won't be scrambling later. Wise stewardship is proactive, not reactive.One Step at a TimeDon't feel pressure to fix everything in one day. Growth—financial and spiritual—comes through steady, faithful diligence. Proverbs 4:26 reminds us: “Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways.”Wherever you're starting from—catching up, starting over, or just resetting—God meets you there. He isn't after perfection; He's after your heart, and He promises to walk with you every step of the way.At FaithFi, we're committed to equipping Christians to integrate faith and financial decisions for the glory of God.

I've been paying about $100 a month for a few years, and I'm wondering if the benefit justifies the cost.My husband and I are dual citizens of the U.S. and Canada. We've farmed for 40 years without any retirement accounts or formal plans. We're debt-free, but we're unsure where to start with retirement planning, especially since our income and pensions come from both countries. Is there a kingdom-minded advisor familiar with agriculture and cross-border planning, or should we begin elsewhere?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Hey Regular Guys and Gals, we did it again. We made it through another week! How comparison really is the thief of joy, how chasing “number one” only leaves you empty, but chasing what you ‘love' is how you actually win. How doing your best and then letting go is the healthiest way to create, whether it's films, podcasts, or just making it through another Friday. How the emotional weight we carry (family roles, expectations, old wounds) can block more than just joy but also our health, and how releasing that weight can unlock real healing and yes even actual weight loss. How stars aren't built by training or technique and how each of us has our own “it factor” when we stop trying to be someone else. How every room, event, or opportunity offers something valuable if you walk in open, but nothing if you walk in closed. RGF BONUS: How Donut Talk might be the spin-off podcast no one asked for but everyone will need. And how Meatloaf (yes, the singer, not the dinner plate) proved you don't need the “look” to be a legend, just the presence to own a stage (or a Connecticut softball field). Bye Betches!

Chip uncovers why a very specific attitude will destroy love and how you can avoid it.Learning to love in “Real Time”Responding to Hurts:Truth: Love is patient and kind (1 Corinthians 13:4a).Practice: When hurt, love absorbs the blow and responds with kindness.Responding to Differences:Truth: Love does not envy or boast; it is not rude, self-seeking, easily angered, or does it keep a record of wrongs (1 Corinthians 13:4b-5).Practice: Celebrate differences and refuse to compare (1 Corinthians 12:12-31).Comparison always leads to carnality.Envy (Compares UPWARD): Produces jealousy, anger, resentment, and bitterness (1 Corinthians 12:15-16).Solution: Believe God is good and has provided what's best for you. Admit and repent, ask God to use you, meditate on His goodness, and choose gratitude.Arrogance (Compares DOWNWARD): Produces pride, boasting, rudeness, and independence (1 Corinthians 12:21-22).Solution: Admit your needs and be vulnerable to receive God's goodness. Remember everything is from God, recall your humble beginnings, spend time with those who know your true self, and admit your needs.Broadcast ResourceSpiritual Simplicity ResourcesMessage NotesAdditional Resource MentionsSmall Group ResourcesI Choose Joy BookI Choose Joy Small GroupConnect888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With UsDonate Online888-333-6003
