Send us Fan MailPrivate listings might sound exclusive, but South Carolina's Real Estate Commission is spelling out exactly what sellers may be giving up - fewer buyers, fewer offers, weaker terms, and a longer path to closing. I will break down the new commission-approved disclosure form line by line and explains why it could change how brokers talk about limited market exposure forever. I will also walk through the 11 seller acknowledgments in the “Residential Disclosure and Acknowledgement of Limited Market Exposure Listing,” highlighting the ones that should make every agent, broker-in-charge, and seller stop and think. I will unpack the economics behind exposure, why competition drives value, and how “exclusive” can quickly become a liability when the goal is to get the best result for the seller. You'll discover:- why limiting exposure can suppress buyer demand before a property ever reaches the public market -how fewer offers can mean not just lower price, but worse contingencies, timing, and financing terms -why “days on market” can be misstated when a listing sits privately before going public -the representation conflict that arises when a brokerage keeps more business inside its own ecosystem-how private inventory can distort comparable sales and affect future valuations -why fair housing concerns may be the biggest legal issue of all when access is controlled through private networksI will also explain why the broker-in-charge's signature matters, what a real compliance process should look like, and why blanket “private first” strategies are exactly what the Commission seems to be warning against. If your brokerage uses pocket listings, limited exposure marketing, or internal-only inventory, this episode is essential listening before the next disclosure lands on your desk. Chapters00:00 — Limited Exposure Listings: What They Are02:22 — Welcome & Blair Cato Updates03:28 — Seller Request vs. Agent Recommendation04:00 — The New Limited Market Exposure Disclosure05:10 — Why Exposure Drives Competition07:25 — Fewer Offers, Lower Leverage09:02 — Price, Terms & Lost Opportunities10:04 — The Risk of Delayed Public Marketing12:16 — Representation Conflicts13:20 — How Private Sales Affect Comparable Values15:00 — Fair Housing & Equal Access20:24 — Seller Privacy Doesn't Override Fair Housing21:28 — What Brokers-in-Charge Need to Review25:13 — Documenting the Seller's Decision25:47 — Why Blanket Private-Listing Policies Are Risky27:29 — Incentives, Claims & Agent Training29:44 — Supervision and the Broker's Responsibility31:28 — Next Week: The Public-Market ComparisonDon't forget to like us and share us!Gary* Gary serves on the South Carolina Real Estate Commission as a Commissioner.

Tom Cochrane is founder of Eleviam, a brand accelerator running more than forty CPG brands across Amazon, Walmart, and TikTok Shop. Before building the agency, he put nearly five million dollars of his own capital into Amazon inventory to prove the model himself.This episode tackles a problem every CPG brand now faces: platforms are getting more expensive, more competitive, and harder to attribute, even as consumer attention keeps fragmenting.Tom and Eitan dig into the halo effect between TikTok Shop and Amazon, why a third of TikTok-driven purchases convert somewhere else entirely, and how Amazon's new AI shopping layer is changing what actually belongs in a listing.Listeners walk away with a clearer view of how to sequence platform investment as a brand matures, and why profitability discipline matters more than chasing growth at any cost.Website: https://expanio.com/Podcast website: https://expanio.com/commerce-untold-podcast/Eitan Koter's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eitankoter/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CommerceUntoldGuest: Tom Cochrane, Founder, EleviamTom Cochrane's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomasgcochrane/Eleviam: https://eleviam.io/Key Takeaways: • Ninety percent of US consumers still validate a purchase on Amazon even when they discovered the product somewhere else. • Thirty-seven percent of TikTok Shop transactions convert off of TikTok, most often on Amazon. • Creator partnerships should be judged on proven GMV track record, not follower count. • Amazon's AI shopping layer now reads full PDP and A+ content, so listings need to answer real buyer objections instead of just stuffing keywords. • Brands should launch omnichannel from day one, but stay narrow with a hero SKU before expanding the catalog. • Agencies scale by building repeatable systems and pod structures before they scale revenue.Chapters:[00:19] Introduction to Tom Cochrane and background[02:35] Running Amazon and TikTok Shop together: the halo effect[05:36] Rising platform costs and the shift toward creator partnerships[08:08] Competition, agentic shopping, and Amazon's AI-driven listings (Cosmos, Rufus)[11:53] Matching platform strategy to a brand's lifecycle stage[19:41] CPG challenges today: LTV, margins, and building a moat[26:11] Inside Eleviam: ICP, delivery, and where e-commerce is headed

In this milestone 500th episode of Better Call Daddy, host Reena Friedman Watts sits down with Will McKee, Jiu Jitsu black belt and founder of Asylum Jiu Jitsu in Aledo, Texas. Will shares his transformative journey from a 255-pound medical operations manager to a confident, mission-driven Jiu Jitsu practitioner shedding 60 pounds and rebuilding his mental health along the way. Will opens up about the physical and mental transformation he's experienced through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), emphasizing self-confidence, resilience, and discipline. He explains how he coaches kids to embrace competition without pressure, creating a gym culture where every student child or adult can grow, learn, and overcome real obstacles. The conversation dives into Jiu Jitsu culture at large: the balance between competition and personal growth, the importance of a safe training environment, and the darker sides of martial arts culture that Asylum Jiu Jitsu was built to push back against. Despite its name, Will explains, Asylum isn't a cage it's a place of refuge, structure, and freedom, closer to a monastery than an asylum in the traditional sense. Will also reflects on his own mental health struggles and how Jiu Jitsu became his sanctuary during the hardest chapters of his life. He shares stories of student progress, his approach to mentorship, and his mission to be the coach he wished he'd had growing up — shaped in part by his relationship with his own father. If you're interested in martial arts, BJJ, mental health, fitness transformation, or raising resilient kids, this milestone episode of Better Call Daddy delivers all of it.

This month on Winning at Honey with Stephanie, Stephanie Slater turns her attention to a honey show category that doesn't appear at every competition: pollen. Preparing pollen for competition requires more than simply collecting it from a pollen trap. Stephanie walks through what judges look for, including cleanliness, proper moisture, aroma and flavor, consistent fill levels, and a colorful variety of pollen. She also shares lessons from her own first pollen entry—and the judge's comment card that showed her where she could improve. You'll learn how Stephanie collects and freezes pollen, uses a fan to separate lighter debris, hand-cleans small batches with tweezers, and prepares jars for judging. She also explains why you should bring extra pollen to the show to correct settling and fill levels before submitting your entry. Stephanie also discusses balancing pollen collection with the nutritional needs of the colony, including her practice of activating traps for only 24 hours before giving the bees several days of unrestricted pollen collection. Finally, this month's Honey Show Spotlight looks at upcoming competitions in Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, and the 2026 Missouri State Beekeepers Association Fall Conference, where Stephanie will be helping with the honey show. Whether you're preparing your first pollen entry or looking for another category to add to your show bench, it's time to start cleaning those pollen pellets! Blue skies and blue ribbons!

One Big Idea 4 - Driving Operational Excellence: From Algorithm-Free Organic Scale to Transformational Self-LeadershipIn this episode of One Big Idea, host Josh Elledge connects with Nikolas Hake, Scott Doggett, Carol Schultz, Andrew Lafuente, and Jane Monroe to break down the operational frameworks needed to scale modern businesses, refine organizational culture, and master executive self-leadership. Nikolas Hake, Founder and CEO of JUS Official Services, kicks off the conversation by detailing how emerging creators and brands can build compounding momentum without falling into short-term social media trends. Scott Doggett, Founder and Chief Servant Leader at the National Academy of Leadership Development, then shifts the focus toward corporate culture, exposing how executive perception directly impacts workforce engagement. Next, Vertical Elevation Founder and CEO Carol Schultz introduces the strategic deployment of a Chief of Staff to eliminate CEO burnout. Andrew Lafuente, Founder and Principal of Lafuente Sign and Awning, reveals how modernizing legacy B2B industries creates sustainable market differentiation. Finally, Entrepreneur and Keynote Speaker Jane Monroe closes the episode by mapping out the four dimensions of the self to help corporate executives lead with radical self-awareness.The One Big Idea That Helps You Win Online Without Following Algorithms with JUS Official Services' Nikolas HakeIn a digital landscape obsessed with immediate viral spikes, emerging creators and growing brands frequently dilute their positioning by frantically chasing fleeting algorithmic trends. Talent management expert Nikolas Hake explains that his "one big idea" directly targets this strategic error: long-term brand equity relies on building a structured, repeatable content engine that compounds over time. Many talent agencies focus exclusively on established names, leaving emerging professionals without structured guidance. By stepping in to provide early-stage support, transparent management, and flexible operational alignment, businesses can transition away from scattered, sporadic activity and anchor their brand around a single, highly cohesive value proposition.To build sustainable digital momentum, founders must shift from surface-level vanity metrics toward deep audience understanding and multi-channel alignment. Nikolas emphasizes that attempting to appeal to everyone ultimately erodes consumer trust. Instead, brands should prioritize message clarity, audit their communications across platforms, and focus on human-centric storytelling that creates real emotional resonance. By establishing structured content workflows and viewing digital visibility as a long-term marathon rather than a sprint, businesses can protect their core identity, navigate evolving software algorithms, and cultivate deeply loyal communities.Why Leadership Success Depends on Seeing People Beyond Their Job Titles with National Academy of Leadership Development's Scott DoggettMany executive teams attempt to resolve underlying corporate challenges like high employee turnover, low productivity, and team disengagement by rolling out new software tools or rigid corporate policies. However, leadership development expert Scott Doggett demonstrates that his core framework addresses a much deeper root cause: executive perception. When leaders subconsciously view their workforce through clinical or transactional labels—referring to employees merely as "resources," "leads," or "headcount to manage"—that underlying mindset inevitably seeps into daily operations. This dynamic erodes psychological safety, suppresses frontline initiative, and causes high-performing talent to disengage.To build an adaptable, human-centered corporate culture, Scott challenges executives to radically shift how they perceive their team members. When leaders intentionally view every individual as priceless—acknowledging their unique strengths, personal aspirations, and professional struggles—they unlock unprecedented levels of ownership, creative problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration. Transforming corporate culture does not happen through static mission statements; it is forged through micro-interactions, such as practicing intentional presence in meetings, offering constructive feedback after errors, and replacing dehumanizing corporate jargon with empathetic language. By auditing their daily interactions, leaders can create an environment where talent genuinely thrives.Moving Beyond Micromanagement Through Strategic Delegation and Leadership with Vertical Elevation's Carol SchultzSmall and medium-sized business (SMB) CEOs frequently find themselves trapped in "operational overload," spending their valuable bandwidth managing daily meeting logistics, handling routine team communication, and putting out operational fires. Executive consultant Carol Schultz shares her foundational "one big idea" that solves this bottleneck: every CEO needs a Chief of Staff to serve as an operational force multiplier. Unlike a Director of Operations, who manages company-wide systems and department heads, a Chief of Staff focuses exclusively on managing the operations of the CEO's office. This crucial distinction allows visionary founders to reclaim up to 90% of their time, redirecting their focus toward high-level strategy, investor relations, and enterprise growth.Implementing a Chief of Staff requires a structured, multi-step transition process to ensure operational gaps are thoroughly documented before backfilling the position. Carol's proven framework involves auditing executive time, mapping critical operational tasks, and establishing clear delegation boundaries. Once implemented, this structure eliminates CEO burnout and prevents the executive from becoming an operational bottleneck. Paired with strategic authority-building tactics—such as establishing a streamlined press kit and securing targeted media guesting spots—CEOs can successfully step away from daily management minutiae and lead their organizations with clarity and vision.How Bold Thinking and Creativity Helped One Entrepreneur Beat the Competition with Lafuente Sign and Awning's Andrew LafuenteDisrupting a legacy industry does not require reinventing the underlying service; rather, it demands modernizing how that service is packaged, marketed, and delivered. B2B entrepreneur Andrew Lafuente outlines his "one big idea" on how he transformed a traditional manufacturing business into an agile brand serving major clients like Chase Bank, Trader Joe's, and Ralph Lauren. While traditional competitors in legacy sectors rely heavily on outdated word-of-mouth networks, Andrew embraced digital marketing, active social proof, and continuous competitive analysis to differentiate his brand, build trust, and capture market share.To convert industry analysis into scalable growth, leaders must view their competitors as a valuable source of market intelligence rather than a zero-sum threat. By regularly auditing market offerings, maintaining a polished and user-friendly digital footprint, and balancing local B2B accounts with high-profile national clients, legacy businesses can protect themselves against market downturns. Andrew highlights that maintaining strict attention to detail on digital channels—supported by proactive public relations, clear media kits, and strategic podcast appearances—allows modern founders to elevate their industry reputation, establish authoritative positioning, and drive predictable B2B revenue growth.Exploring the Four Selves Through a Journey of Self-Awareness and Leadership Growth with Jane MonroeTrue organizational transformation cannot occur until an executive learns the art of radical self-leadership. Keynote speaker and entrepreneur Jane Monroe introduces her core thesis on the road to leadership cohesion, which requires leaders to systematically explore and integrate four distinct dimensions of the self: the Known Self (public persona), the Hidden Self (private thoughts and boundaries), the Blind Self (unconscious behavioral blind spots), and the Mystery Self (untapped potential). Because executive ego often blocks self-awareness, leaders must actively build feedback loops to surface hidden blind spots before those unaddressed behaviors disrupt team dynamics.Unlocking the Mystery Self requires stepping far outside traditional comfort zones to dismantle limiting self-perceptions, much like Jane's own experience undertaking a 340-mile endurance kayak journey down the Missouri River. To cultivate leadership cohesion, executives must build a trusted advisory network—comprising coaches, mentors, or candid colleagues—who provide unvarnished, objective feedback. By prioritizing vulnerability over ego, normalizing continuous feedback within their corporate culture, and leading by example, business leaders can build resilient organizations rooted in mutual trust, psychological safety, and transformational growth.Links Mentioned in the EpisodeNikolas Hake on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikolashake/JUS Official Services Website: https://www.jusofficialservices.info/Scott Doggett on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottdoggett/National Academy of Leadership Development Website:

Send Kevin a Text MessageAcademy Award-nominated screenwriter and director Billy Ray joins host Kevin Goetz for a wide-ranging conversation about what makes stories work and why emotion, character, and integrity sit at the center of great screenwriting. Ray's credits include Captain Phillips, The Hunger Games, Shattered Glass, Richard Jewell, State of Play, Breach, and Flightplan. He discusses the lessons he learned from writers and films that shaped him, the discipline that has sustained his career, adapting The Hunger Games, learning from failure as a director, and why audiences need to care about what happens rather than simply wonder what happens next.Integrity, Emotion, and the Stories Billy Ray Tells (01:41): Ray identifies integrity as the recurring theme in his work and explains why the best screenwriting is an intellectual exercise designed to create an emotional response. If audiences are thinking about how smart the writing is rather than feeling the story, he says, the writer has missed the mark.Early Experiences, Curiosity, and Becoming a Storyteller (05:29): Ray reflects on experiences that shaped him at a young age and how they contributed to his sensitivity to other people's emotions. He and Goetz discuss empathy, curiosity, and why genuine interest in other people is essential to both writing and life.Knowing Your Audience: Messaging and Persuasion (13:35): A discussion about political communication becomes a broader conversation about audiences. Ray argues that effective messaging begins by understanding where people are emotionally and moving them from there, a principle Goetz connects directly to movie marketing and persuasive advertising.What Makes a Great Screenplay? (22:38): Ray recalls growing up around writers through his father, a literary agent, and being handed Alvin Sargent's Ordinary People screenplay as the standard to aspire to. He explains his fundamental rule of character: a protagonist needs both an external problem to solve and an internal problem that only the journey of the movie can fix.Great Characters, Great Villains, and the Cathartic Contract (26:29): Using Ordinary People, Rocky, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Sound of Music, and Schindler's List, Ray and Goetz examine character construction. Ray argues that a great antagonist needs a defensible point of view and that every supporting character should reveal a different facet of the protagonist.Outworking the Competition and Shattered Glass (42:01): Ray discusses early influences including Rod Serling, literature that challenged and comforted him, and his realization as a young writer that he could not control talent or the state of the industry, but he could control how hard he worked. He also names Shattered Glass, his feature directing debut, as the film of which he is most proud.The Hunger Games and the Art of Reverse Engineering (46:30): Ray remembers reading Suzanne Collins' novel overnight and immediately recognizing its potential. He describes using Jaws to persuade producer Nina Jacobson that changes could strengthen an adaptation, and explains the concept of reverse engineering a screenplay so the first two acts properly support a powerful ending. He also shares the extraordinary security measures involved in writing The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.Failure, Audience Testing, and the Oscar Chase (51:15): Ray speaks candidly about directing Secret in Their Eyes, recognizing that the film was not connecting strongly enough with audiences, and being shaken by the experience of losing an investor's money. He also reflects on his Oscar nomination for Captain Phillips, why awards can become addictive, and the danger of choosing projects because they seem like "Oscar movies" rather than because they are the right stories to tell.Host: Kevin GoetzGuest: Billy RayProducer: Kari CampanoWriters: Kevin Goetz, Darlene Hayman, Nick Nunez, and Kari CampanoAudio Engineer: Gary Forbes (DG Entertainment)For more information about Billy Ray:Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Ray_%28screenwriter%29IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0712753/Burn the Water: Available from Scholastic and booksellersFor more information about Kevin Goetz:- Website: www.KevinGoetz360.com- Audienceology Book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Audience-ology/Kevin-Goetz/9781982186678- How to Score in Hollywood: https://www.amazon.com/How-Score-Hollywood-Secrets-Business/dp/198218986X/- Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Substack: @KevinGoetz360- LinkedIn @Kevin Goetz- Screen Engine/ASI Website: www.ScreenEngineASI.com

Send us Fan MailWhat if the parts of yourself you struggle with most are not meant to be destroyed, but redirected?In Lesson 13 of Kabbalah for Everyone, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath moves beyond simply identifying the Nefesh HaBahamit, the animal soul and discovers the deeper Kabbalistic vision: the goal is not to become less human, less passionate, less ambitious, or less emotional. The goal is to educate the enormous energy already inside us.Drawing from Tanya, we explore itkafya, the ability to create space between an impulse and our response; the inner “courtroom” of the beinoni, where a feeling may make its argument without being allowed to issue the verdict; and ultimately the possibility of redirecting the animal soul itself toward holiness.The ox is powerful. Unharnessed, it can destroy a field. Harnessed, that very same strength can produce a harvest. Your stubbornness can become loyalty. Your ambition can become service. Your sensitivity can become compassion. Your appetite for life can itself become part of your relationship with G-d.The goal is not spirituality despite being human. It is spirituality through being human.Key PointsA voice is not a verdict. An impulse, emotion, or thought may speak loudly without being given authority over what you think, say, or do.The beinoni is not someone without struggle. Spiritual greatness can exist right in the middle of an ongoing inner battle.Itkafya creates freedom. Sometimes holiness begins with the ability to say, “I want this, but I do not have to obey it right now.”Don't kill the ox. Harness it. The raw energy behind difficult traits may contain tremendous spiritual power.Same ox. Different plow. Stubbornness can become persistence. Competition can become self-improvement. Pleasure can become beautiful Shabbat. Ambition can become service.The Nefesh HaSichlit is the translator. Our rational mind can help translate the G-dly soul's truths into language the animal soul can actually understand.Dirah BiTachtonim happens inside us too. G-d wants a dwelling not only in the obviously holy parts of life, but in our bodies, appetites, personalities, passions, and physical energy.Transformation does not mean sanctifying harmful behavior. We reject what is destructive while asking what healthy, holy power may exist underneath it.Do not confuse recurring struggle with failure. Needing to choose again today does not erase yesterday's victory.The ultimate question is not, “Why am I not somebody else?” It is: “What am I going to do with the soul and temperament G-d gave me?”Tonight Wednesday September 2 at 7:30pm EST on Zoomhttps://www.jewishndg.com/civicrm/event/register?reset=1&id=110September 16th at 7:30pm EST on ZoomThe Forgiveness Experiment: LIVEhttps://www.jewishndg.com/civicrm/event/register?id=109The School for Sensitive Soulshttps://www.kabbalah4everyone.com/checkout/sensitive-souls#Kabbalah #kabala #Jewish #Judaism #KabbalahForEveryone #Rabbiyisroelbernath #Tanya #chassidus #chabad #ChabadChassidus #JewishWisdom #NefeshHaBahamis #AnimalSoul #Beinoni #Itkafya #DirahBiTachtonim #JewishSpirituality #SelfMastery #Transformation #purpose Rabbi Yisroel Bernath's New Book The Forgiveness Experiment is Available now:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/Forgiveness-Experiment-What-Would-Your/dp/1069217638Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FR2QNJL6Audiobook: https://bit.ly/4tPFZhVSupport the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of The Beyond Condition Podcast, Sarah Parker shares her first experience attending a Pure Elite competition as a coach, alongside long-term client Dee, who competed in the Transformation category.What does it really take to step onto a bodybuilding stage when you've already overcome some of the biggest challenges of your life?Dee's journey is about far more than physique transformation. Having overcome drug and alcohol dependency, she took her fitness journey to the next level, through finding The Beyond Condition Podcast and began a journey that eventually led her to bodybuilding. After a previous prep was postponed following a health scare, Sarah made the decision to prioritise Dee's wellbeing and wait until 2026 - proving that sometimes the best coaching decision is knowing when not to compete.At Pure Elite, Dee entered the Transformation category, where competitors not only showcase their physical transformation but also share their personal story through a projected image and narration. For Sarah, this created a powerful reminder of what bodybuilding and fitness can represent beyond placings and trophies.The episode also takes listeners behind the scenes of three very different bodybuilding competitions - an IFBB Pro Qualifier in Denmark, an NPA Natural show and Pure Elite - comparing backstage environments, coach involvement, athlete support and the very different experiences competitors can have depending on their federation and circumstances.Sarah also discusses one of her core coaching principles: stay in your lane. Knowing your experience, being honest with your athletes and understanding when you need to learn or refer someone elsewhere are essential parts of being a good coach.And once the competition is over, what should you actually eat?Sarah shares her approach to post-show nutrition and recovery, including why rehydration should come first, why planning your post-show meal matters and why athletes often regret feeling pressured to immediately eat everything in sight.In this episode, we explore:• Dee's incredible transformation journey • Overcoming addiction and discovering bodybuilding • Why Sarah postponed Dee's previous competition prep • The Pure Elite Transformation category • Why transformation is about more than a placing • Sarah's first Pure Elite experience as a coach • Comparing three very different competition environments • IFBB Pro Qualifier experiences • Natural bodybuilding competition backstage dynamics • Coach presence and athlete support backstage • Why coaches need to "stay in their lane" • Being honest about your experience as a coach • Why coaches should support rather than compete against each other • Managing realistic expectations around competition placings • Why coaches can't guarantee results • Supporting anxious athletes on show day • Post-show hydration and nutrition • Why you shouldn't feel pressured to binge immediately after competing • Planning your post-show meal in advance • The difference between finishing a season and preparing for another showA competition isn't just about the trophy.Sometimes it's about proving to yourself that you're capable of doing something you once believed was impossible.And sometimes the biggest win happens long before you ever step on stage.This is bodybuilding beyond the condition.Watch the episode here: https://youtu.be/DNlQ4pN4T6YFind Sarah on Instagram: @sarahparker_bbTHE ULTIMATE SHOW DAY GUIDE E-BOOK: Purchase hereBeyond Condition Coaching Application: Click here

Today we are talking about something that I think we all need to know about…  How to reset your dopamine. And before you think this is going to be one of those extreme episodes where I tell you to throw your phone into the ocean, stop drinking coffee, sit in a dark room for three days and eliminate everything fun from your life… That is absolutely not what we are doing. Because dopamine isn't bad. We need dopamine. Dopamine is part of what makes us want things. Pursue things. Work toward goals. Get up and go. The problem is that we are living in an environment where we can get enormous amounts of stimulation with almost zero effort. Open Instagram. Refresh your email. Check likes. Open TikTok. Eat something hyper-palatable. Buy something. Get a notification. Watch another episode. Click another video. Check your texts. Pick up your phone because you have 17 seconds with nothing to do. We have essentially eliminated boredom. And I think we need to talk about what that is doing to us. Because I don't think most people have a motivation problem. I think some people have made normal life too boring compared to the stimulation they consume all day long.   Think about this. Working toward a goal is slow. Building a business is slow. Getting stronger is slow. Improving a relationship is slow. Reading a book is slow. Learning something difficult is slow.     But your phone can give you novelty every half second. So what happens when your brain gets accustomed to incredibly stimulating rewards that require almost no effort? The things that actually build an awesome life can start feeling painfully boring.   And THAT is what I want to change today. I've been going deep into what Andrew Huberman, Chris Williamson, Stanford addiction psychiatrist Anna Lembke, Peter Attia and Gary Brecka have discussed around dopamine, reward, pleasure, discomfort and motivation. And there is one massive theme that keeps coming up: We need to stop getting so many rewards without earning them.   We need less cheap dopamine… And more earned dopamine. More accomplishment dopamine. More anticipation. More effort. More challenge. More doing hard things and feeling awesome afterward.   So today we're going to talk about what dopamine actually does, why our modern environment can completely screw with our motivation, what people mean by a dopamine reset, and most importantly… How we actually do it. Not forever. Not perfectly. But intentionally enough that normal life starts feeling interesting again.       Because imagine waking up and actually WANTING to work on your goals. Imagine sitting in your car without immediately opening your phone. Imagine finishing a workout and letting that accomplishment be the reward instead of instantly needing another stimulus. Imagine being fully engaged in dinner. Or a conversation. Or a walk. Or your kids. Or your work. That's what we're after. Not less enjoyment. More enjoyment from the things that actually matter. FIRST… WHAT IS DOPAMINE? Dopamine isn't simply the "pleasure chemical" This is probably the biggest misunderstanding. Dopamine plays a huge role in motivation, pursuit, learning, reinforcement and determining what your brain decides is worth pursuing again. Think less "this makes me happy" and more: "Go get that again." It's a molecule heavily involved in wanting and pursuing. Huberman explains dopamine in terms of baseline and peaks You have a baseline level of dopamine. Then certain experiences generate temporary increases above that baseline. The important part is what happens afterward. A big dopamine peak can be followed by a period where dopamine activity falls below where it was previously. This is part of why something incredible can sometimes leave you feeling strangely flat afterward. The higher and more frequently we chase enormous peaks, the more ordinary activities can start losing their appeal. Think about it like contrast If you eat incredibly sweet processed foods all day… A blueberry doesn't taste very sweet. There isn't anything wrong with the blueberry. Your reference point changed. The same general concept applies here. When your environment becomes filled with intense stimulation… Quiet feels boring. Reading feels boring. Work feels boring. Walking feels boring. A normal conversation feels boring. Your life didn't necessarily become boring. Your stimulation threshold changed. WHAT I MEAN BY "CHEAP DOPAMINE" I'm going to use the phrase cheap dopamine throughout this episode even though scientifically dopamine itself isn't cheap or expensive. What I mean is: A high-reward experience requiring very little effort. Things like: Endless short-form videos Constant social media refreshing Notifications Online shopping Gambling Highly processed foods Video games for hours and hours Constant snacking Drinking Continually checking texts Refreshing email Internet rabbit holes Watching episode after episode after episode Constant novelty And here's the key… None of those things has to be inherently evil. It's the dose. The frequency. And whether you've lost control over your consumption. There's a massive difference between choosing to watch a movie on Saturday night… And being literally unable to stand in an elevator for 25 seconds without checking your phone. That's the part I want us to notice. THE WORLD HAS REMOVED THE WAITING This might be one of the biggest problems. Almost everything used to have some friction. You wanted food? You cooked it. You wanted entertainment? You waited until your show came on. You wanted to talk to your friend? You called them. Maybe they weren't home. You wanted to buy something? You drove somewhere. You wanted information? You found a book. Now? Everything is immediate. Food. Entertainment. Shopping. Attention. Validation. Communication. Information. Novelty. Almost every human desire has an app attached to it. And our brains evolved in an environment where rewards generally required work. Now we can receive reward after reward while lying horizontally on the couch. That is a massive mismatch. THE PLEASURE-PAIN SEESAW One of my favorite explanations comes from Dr. Anna Lembke. She describes pleasure and pain almost like opposite sides of a balance. When we repeatedly push hard toward pleasure… Our brain tries to restore balance. And over time, you may need more of the stimulus just to experience the same effect. This is incredibly obvious with severe addiction. But I think it's useful to recognize much milder versions in ourselves. Have you ever: Opened Instagram for five minutes and 45 minutes disappeared? Finished a show and immediately needed another episode? Finished dessert and started looking for something else sweet? Checked one notification and then somehow checked four different apps? Picked up your phone without consciously deciding to? That automatic reaching is important. You aren't necessarily choosing anymore. You're responding. And I want us to get back into choosing. WHY NOTHING FEELS EXCITING ANYMORE Sometimes people say: "I'm unmotivated." "I don't feel like working." "I can't concentrate." "I'm bored." "I don't really feel excited about anything." Obviously there can be many medical, psychological and situational reasons for those feelings. But there is another question worth asking: How much stimulation are you consuming? Because if you're exposing yourself to novelty constantly… Your brain never gets a chance to be bored enough to create. Never bored enough to think. Never bored enough to solve a problem. Never bored enough to decide what you actually want. We're treating boredom like an emergency. I actually think boredom is incredibly productive. Some of my best ideas happen when there's nothing else coming into my brain. And we are filling every single empty pocket.   DOPAMINE STACKING Huberman talks about something that I think is fascinating: stacking multiple dopamine-producing experiences together. Think about a workout. Exercise itself can be rewarding. But now we add: Pre-workout. Favorite playlist. Phone. Texts. Social media. Energy drink. Maybe stimulants. Maybe a reward meal afterward. Maybe we post the workout and check responses. We've taken one intrinsically rewarding activity and stacked reward upon reward upon reward. And his point isn't that you can never do those things. It's that you don't necessarily want every good experience in life turned up to 100 every single time. Sometimes train without the perfect playlist. Sometimes walk without the podcast. Sometimes drink the coffee without simultaneously scrolling Instagram. Sometimes eat without watching television. Separate the rewards. You don't have to eliminate pleasure. Stop supercharging every experience. LEARN TO LOVE EFFORT This might be my favorite part of the entire episode. We need to stop making the reward exclusively something that comes AFTER the work. "I'll work out and then I can have this." "I'll finish this project and then I'll reward myself." "I'll complete my work and then I'll scroll." There's nothing wrong with celebrating accomplishments. But we also want to train ourselves to associate the effort itself with something positive. Because if the entire purpose of doing something difficult is the reward waiting at the end… The work becomes something you're trying to escape. Instead: "This discomfort means I'm getting stronger." "This is hard because I'm growing." "I'm proud of myself for doing this when I don't feel like doing it." "This is what keeping promises to myself feels like." "This is who I am." That shift is huge. The workout becomes the win. Doing the work becomes the win. Keeping the promise becomes the win. USE DISCOMFORT ON PURPOSE This theme comes up across a lot of these conversations. We're living in an unbelievably comfortable world. Temperature-controlled houses. Food everywhere. Cars. Couches. Entertainment. Delivery. Escalators. Amazon. Everything is optimized to eliminate friction. But voluntary discomfort can be incredibly valuable. Exercise. Walking. Strength training. Running. Sauna. Cold exposure when appropriate and done safely. Doing something physically difficult. Getting outside when conditions aren't perfect. Taking the stairs. Having the difficult conversation. Doing the work you're avoiding. The idea isn't: "Suffering is good." The idea is: Stop organizing your entire life around avoiding discomfort. Because challenge followed by satisfaction is very different from pleasure followed by emptiness. One you earned. One you consumed. We need both fun and hard things. But modern life has heavily tilted us toward consumption. DON'T START YOUR DAY WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S DOPAMINE Here's something I think would change a lot of people's lives. Do not roll over and immediately hand your brain to your phone. Because instantly you've got: Texts. News. Instagram. Email. TikTok. Other people's emergencies. Other people's opinions. Other people's lives. Other people's accomplishments. Other people's bodies. Other people's vacations. Other people's businesses. Other people's problems. Before you've even decided what YOU want your day to look like. I would rather protect that first part of the morning. Wake up. Water. Sunlight. Walk. Workout. Journal. Think. Plan. Work. Whatever your routine is. Just don't immediately flood your brain with novelty. You should decide the direction of your day before an algorithm decides it for you. THE 2.0 DOPAMINE RESET Okay. Here is what I would actually do. Not some insane internet detox. A realistic reset. RULE #1: Identify YOUR cheap dopamine Ask yourself: What do I compulsively reach for? Not what does the internet tell me is bad. What has control over ME? Maybe yours is: Instagram. TikTok. Shopping. Sugar. Video games. News. YouTube. Email. Texting. Something else. Identify the top one or two. Don't try to become a monk overnight. RULE #2: Take a meaningful break from the biggest offender If something truly feels compulsive, consider taking a real period away from it rather than constantly trying to moderate it. Try deleting it for a week. Maybe two. Maybe 30 days. See what happens. You might be shocked by how often your hand reaches for an app that isn't there. That's valuable information. RULE #3: Stop filling every gap This is a HUGE one. We're bringing back empty space. Stand in line. Just stand there. Drive five minutes. No podcast. Walk around the block. No headphones. Sit outside. Do nothing. Take a shower without content playing. Cook dinner without a video. You are retraining yourself to tolerate a lower level of stimulation. And here's the funny thing… After a while it doesn't feel low stimulation. It feels peaceful. RULE #4: Create phone-free zones Pick places where your phone does not belong. Examples: Bedroom Dinner table Gym Family time Bathroom First hour of the morning Last hour before bed Don't rely purely on willpower. Change your environment. Leave the phone somewhere else. Make the bad habit inconvenient. RULE #5: Turn off almost every notification Notifications are someone else deciding when your attention moves. Think about that. Unless something legitimately requires immediate attention… Turn it off. RULE #6: Stop stacking everything Coffee + Instagram + television + food + texting? No. Pick one. Workout + podcast + scrolling between sets + energy drink + Instagram? Simplify it. Let an experience stand alone. Food can just be food. Coffee can just be coffee. A walk can just be a walk. A conversation can just be a conversation. RULE #7: Get your dopamine through pursuit This is the big replacement strategy. You can't just remove things. You need better things to move toward. Exercise. Building something. Learning. Working. Creating. Sports. Relationships. Adventure. Goals. Competition. Skill. Experiences. Meaningful challenges. Get obsessed with something difficult. That is completely different than being addicted to consumption. RULE #8: Do one hard thing every day I love this rule. Every day, intentionally do something that you'd rather avoid. Workout hard. Make the phone call. Send the proposal. Clean the closet. Have the conversation. Finish the project. Run the hill. Get into the cold water if that's safe for you. Walk when you'd rather sit. Do the thing you've been procrastinating. You start creating evidence: "I don't have to feel like doing something in order to do it." That is power. RULE #9: Prioritize sleep Your brain isn't operating independently of your body. If you're chronically sleep-deprived, everything becomes harder. Motivation. Impulse control. Training. Food choices. Emotional regulation. Focus. Peter Attia and Huberman both hammer sleep for a reason. If we're trying to optimize our brain while sleeping five hours… We're focusing on the wrong end of the problem. RULE #10: Morning sunlight and movement Huberman talks frequently about getting outdoor light early in the day to anchor your circadian system. I love pairing that with movement. Outside. Walk. Light. No Instagram. Let your nervous system wake up naturally. It's incredibly simple. And simple things done repeatedly tend to beat complicated hacks. THE 24-HOUR CHALLENGE Here is your challenge. For the next 24 hours: No phone for the first 30 minutes after waking. No social media until you've completed something productive. Turn off unnecessary notifications. No phone while eating. Take one walk without headphones. Do one difficult thing you've been avoiding. No double-screening. If you're watching TV, you're not also scrolling. Put your phone outside your bedroom tonight. Let yourself experience boredom. Notice every time you instinctively reach for stimulation. Don't judge yourself. Observe yourself. Because awareness is the beginning of changing anything. THEN TRY SEVEN DAYS Now let's level it up. For seven days: Reduce your biggest cheap-dopamine behavior dramatically. You don't need to eliminate all pleasure. In fact, please don't. Go to dinner. Laugh. Drink your coffee. Listen to music. Hang with friends. Enjoy your life. This isn't punishment. We're trying to reclaim our ability to enjoy NORMAL things. That's the goal. Less artificial stimulation. More real life. ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION Before you reach for something, ask: Am I choosing this, or am I escaping something? That question can completely change things. Why am I opening Instagram? Because I intentionally decided to spend 15 minutes enjoying it? Fine. Or because this task got difficult? Why am I eating this? Because I'm hungry and I want it? Fine. Or because I'm uncomfortable? Why am I drinking? Because I'm celebrating with friends? Or because I can't tolerate sitting with how I feel? Why am I checking email for the 47th time? Because I'm waiting for something important? Or because working on the project in front of me is harder? That pause between impulse and behavior… That's where your power is. CHEAP DOPAMINE VS EARNED DOPAMINE This is the easiest way I can summarize the episode. Cheap dopamine: Consume. Scroll. Click. Watch. Refresh. Snack. Buy. Escape. Earned dopamine: Build. Train. Create. Learn. Connect. Explore. Compete. Finish. Accomplish. The first category isn't evil. But if the balance of your life is overwhelmingly consumption… Don't be surprised when your motivation disappears. Shift the ratio. More creating. Less consuming. More doing. Less watching. More participating. Less observing. More real life. Less digital life. WE NEED ANTICIPATION BACK I think anticipation is disappearing. When everything is immediately available… There's nothing to look forward to. And looking forward to something is part of the fun. Plan the trip. Wait for Friday night. Save the amazing dessert for dinner. Don't buy everything the second you want it. Put the concert on the calendar. Build toward the race. Earn the reward. Delay things intentionally sometimes. The waiting isn't ruining the experience. The waiting IS part of the experience. YOUR LIFE SHOULD NOT NEED CONSTANT ENTERTAINMENT This might be the line I want you to remember. You should not need to be entertained every minute in order to enjoy your life. Your kids shouldn't either. We need boring car rides. We need afternoons with nothing scheduled. We need conversations without phones. We need walks. We need staring out the freaking window. We need thinking. We need daydreaming. We need opportunities for our brains to say: "Okay… what should we do?" Creativity often appears after the stimulation disappears. THE GOAL IS NOT LOWER DOPAMINE This is important. We're not trying to crush dopamine. We're not trying to become emotionless. We're not trying to avoid things that make us feel amazing. We're trying to protect our ability to feel amazing. That's different. We want the vacation to feel incredible. The concert. The accomplishment. The amazing dinner. The business win. The race. The adventure. The hug. The goal. The experience. We just don't need to manufacture an artificial mini-version of that feeling 800 times between breakfast and lunch. Leave some room. Let your baseline exist without constantly smashing the stimulation button.   Here's what I think is so interesting about all of this. We have designed a world where almost everything that used to require effort can now be accessed instantly. And that sounds like freedom. But if we're not careful… Convenience becomes dependence. Entertainment becomes distraction. Pleasure becomes compulsion. And access becomes addiction. The answer isn't to reject modern life. I'm certainly not giving up my phone. I'm not giving up coffee. I'm not giving up Instagram. I'm not giving up amazing food or concerts or trips or all the fun things. I want MORE life. That's actually the entire point. I don't want to spend my life looking down at a screen getting tiny rewards when there are enormous rewards available by actually participating in life. I want the dopamine from doing the workout I didn't want to do. Building the business. Taking the trip. Making the memory. Trying something new. Getting really freaking good at something. Having an amazing conversation. Being completely present with my kids. Creating something I'm proud of. Doing something hard. That's the dopamine I want more of. And maybe the simplest takeaway from this whole episode is this: Stop making pleasure so easy and effort so optional. Let yourself work for things. Let yourself wait for things. Let yourself be bored. Let yourself struggle. Let yourself anticipate. Let yourself earn some of the really good feelings. Because when we stop trying to make every moment maximally stimulating… Something really cool happens. Normal life starts becoming awesome again. And that is how to be awesome at resetting your dopamine.

Text the show! Beef is more expensive than ever.So why aren't America's ranchers getting rich?Because here's the part almost nobody tells you:The rancher doesn't really set the price. And neither do you.In today's Monologue Monday, Chad follows the American food system from the meat case backward — through cattle processors, patented seeds, tractor software, poultry contracts, government regulation and the $390 billion Farm Bill.And the same pattern keeps appearing.The farmer owns the land. He owns the equipment. He owns the debt. He owns the weather. He owns the risk.But somebody else increasingly owns the door.This episode isn't about hating corporations or asking Washington to set prices.It's about something much more basic:Competition.Why are there so few buyers for American cattle?Why can a farmer grow patented seed but not necessarily replant it?Why did farmers have to fight for access to software needed to repair tractors they already bought?And why does Washington keep spending billions "helping farmers" without creating more places for those farmers to actually sell what they produce?By the end, Chad gives you three questions you can use far beyond agriculture:How many doors are there? Am I paying for work — or permission? And what's actually on the docket?Count the doors. Follow the permission. Read the docket.

You don't have to compete for what's yours! ✨

Send us Fan MailWelcome back to The Beyond Condition Podcast! I'm your host, Sarah Parker, and today I'm joined by my good friend, Matt Holdcroft.What happens when the battle with food becomes stronger than the desire to change?In this powerful and deeply honest episode, Matt shares his extraordinary journey from weighing nearly 400lbs to stepping onto a bodybuilding stage - a transformation sparked by a near-fatal illness, an induced coma and a surgeon's blunt warning that he had just 10 years to live.Matt opens up about his history with food addiction, emotional eating, secret bingeing and the psychological cycle of depression and overeating, explaining why food addiction can be so difficult to overcome when food is an unavoidable part of everyday life.His journey wasn't without major obstacles. During his first bodybuilding prep, Matt required emergency bowel surgery just seven weeks before his competition. The physical and psychological challenges of losing a huge amount of weight - and then navigating life after the show - reveal why transformation doesn't end when you step on stage.The conversation also explores one of the most important and often neglected parts of competitive bodybuilding: the post-show and rebound phase. For someone with a history of food addiction, the period after competition can be particularly dangerous. We discuss why post-show coaching should continue, why communication with your coach is essential when things go off-plan, and why the day of the competition is actually only the halfway point.In this episode, we explore:• Matt's transformation from nearly 400lbs to competitive bodybuilder • Surviving a near-fatal illness and being placed on ECMO • The surgeon's warning that changed everything • Food addiction and emotional eating • Binge eating, secret eating and decision fatigue • The psychological cycle of depression and overeating • Can fitness addiction replace food addiction? • The physical and psychological reality of bodybuilding prep • Emergency surgery during competition preparation • Loose skin removal and rebuilding after major weight loss • Post-show rebound and the risks of food addiction returning • Why post-show coaching is just as important as competition prep • Why coaches need to be honest about whether a client is ready to compete • Why first-time competitors shouldn't rush into high-level shows • The importance of communication between athlete and coach • When therapy may be needed alongside bodybuilding coachingYour transformation doesn't end when you reach the stage.For many athletes, the real test begins when the structure of prep disappears.This is an honest conversation about weight loss, food addiction, bodybuilding, mental resilience, coaching and what it really takes to create lasting change.Find Matt on Instagram @matt_holdcroft @quarterturnnutritionWatch the episode here: https://youtu.be/ARohf9jQ3RIFind Sarah on Instagram: @sarahparker_bbTHE ULTIMATE SHOW DAY GUIDE E-BOOK: Purchase hereBeyond Condition Coaching Application: Click here

Host Pete Deeley welcomes Professor Juanta "Tater" Wolf to discuss building a jiu jitsu life and academy while balancing family and community. Pete shares updates on the My Jiu Jitsu Journey app (including a new weight-loss component) and invites gym owners to carry Submission Coffee. Juanta explains that before jiu jitsu he focused on painting and murals, describing his style as therapeutic, abstract "Afro Cubism," and connects that improvisational approach to how he rolls and avoids rigid game plans. He credits becoming a father as the turning point that moved him from hobbyist to daily coach and eventual owner, bringing his son to the academy since four months old. Juanta recounts how he found his first gym through a graffiti painting encounter with coach Aaron, emphasizing serious training paired with fun, welcoming culture, and he shares his love of competition, a memorable injury match win, and a student moment when his cousin's daughter showcased jiu jitsu at a school talent show. He closes with where to follow Prairie Wolf Jujitsu online.   00:00 Welcome and Updates 01:32 Meet Professor Juanta 02:38 Art Before Jiu Jitsu 03:54 Flow State Training 05:25 Fatherhood and Ownership 09:26 Finding the First Gym 11:40 Building a Fun Culture 13:34 Why Compete 17:09 Injury and Breakthrough Win 20:07 Student Impact Story 22:05 Tater Man Nickname 22:42 Where to Follow and Farewell

In this episode of the Expected Buffalo podcast, I dive into the latest developments surrounding Connor Hellebuyck and his trade request from the Winnipeg Jets. With training camp just a few weeks away, Hellebuyck has publicly acknowledged his desire to be moved, putting pressure on the Jets to act. I discuss the implications of this announcement, including the potential for a trade before camp opens, and reflect on how the Jets' offseason strategy may have led to this situation.I take listeners back to the NHL Draft, where the Sabres had a significant offer on the table involving their fourth overall pick, but ultimately, the deal did not materialize. As we move through the summer, I outline the challenges the Sabres face in acquiring Hellebuyck, including the need for a goaltender with term and the complexities of salary cap management.Throughout the episode, I explore various trade scenarios, potential players involved, and the competition from other teams like San Jose, New Jersey, and Carolina. I emphasize the importance of finding the right package that meets both the Sabres' and Jets' needs while navigating the intricacies of player contracts and no-trade clauses.01:00 - Hellebuyck's Trade Request02:30 - Winnipeg's Dilemma04:00 - Sabres' Interest in Hellebuyck05:30 - Draft Day Offers07:00 - July 1st Trade Talks08:30 - Current Trade Landscape09:30 - Goaltender Needs12:00 - Cap Space Challenges18:00 - Center Position Concerns21:00 - Evaluating Trade Packages24:00 - Competition for Hellebuyck

Thousands of Minnesota youth are bringing their animals to the State Fair this year along with their families, their 4-H clubs or FFA chapters. It's a big lift to prepare an animal to be judged for a ribbon at the fair, and the Minnesota State Fair foundation has a grant program for first-time fair goers, the BELLE grant. BELLE stands for beginning exhibitor livestock learning experience. The grant helps pay for travel, animal show supplies and feed for the animals. It also helps set up the first-timers with a mentor. 12-year-old Madelyn Donnelly and her mentor Allison Van Nurden, who is in her first year of college - and last year of 4-H. They both brought their lambs to the Minnesota Public Radio stage at the Minnesota State Fair to talk to MPR News host Nina Moini about their experience as mentor and mentee.
