In this deal segment episode with Pat Carino we break down one of the most unique deals featured on the podcast to date: a 300-unit, five-building ground-up development on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, acquired through the state's 40B affordable housing program on a 20+ acre site.Pat walks through how the deal first surfaced through a social media message, how it came back to market through a broker four months later, and how NRP Group ultimately won the deal in a competitive process. The conversation covers the mechanics of 40B entitlements, why the Cape Cod market is more compelling than it looks on paper, how the town's own incentives aligned perfectly with the project's approval, and how the team is navigating the Massachusetts rent control uncertainty heading into November.This episode is essential listening for any investor curious about how institutional ground-up development deals actually work — from 40B entitlements to construction type to exit planning — and what the Massachusetts legislative landscape means for multifamily development in 2025 and beyond.Join us as we dive into:A clear explanation of Massachusetts 40B: what it is, how it works, why towns strategically support "friendly 40B" projects, and how crossing the 10% affordable housing threshold removes the tool from future developersWhy wood-frame, surface-parking construction is Pat's preferred method — and how construction type, affordability requirements, and tax environment are the four key variables in any development site evaluationHow NRP prices development deals: per approved/entitled unit — and why that structure protects both buyer and seller when final unit counts are still in fluxHow the capital stack works at NRP: traditional bank construction debt combined with institutional equity from pension funds and family officesWhy Cape Cod is a stronger demand market than it appears: a large workforce commutes onto the Cape daily with almost no rental housing options — and this project fills that gapPat's honest assessment of Massachusetts rent control: how NRP has stress-tested their underwriting against worst-case scenarios, and why a 10-year new construction exemption is at least partially reassuringState-level tailwinds: a proposed sales tax exemption on building materials and a fast-track provision for the MEPA environmental review process for qualifying projectsSign up for the DealNav CRM HEREConnect with Pat Carino:Follow him on Twitter/XConnect with him on LinkedinLearn more about DealNavAre you looking to invest in real estate, but don't want to deal with the hassle of finding great deals, signing on debt, and managing tenants?

My newsletter: https://simonowens.substack.com/ For years, HubSpot was known as a pioneer of content marketing, building a huge library of articles that helped attract potential customers to its software products. But more recently, the company has expanded far beyond blog posts. It now owns newsletters, podcasts, YouTube channels, and creator-led media brands that reach millions of people every month. Jonathan Hunt, HubSpot's VP of media, has helped oversee this evolution after working at companies like Vice, Vox Media, National Geographic, and Complex. In our interview, he explained why HubSpot is investing so heavily in media, how it turns content audiences into software customers, and why it sees creators as a major part of its growth strategy.

Send us Fan MailThis week, I'm joined by Dr. Nicole Cain for a conversation about anxiety, panic, stress, and what our symptoms might be trying to tell us. We talk about the difference between fear, anxiety, and panic, why anxiety may be more of a signal than a problem, and how chronic stress can quietly build beneath the surface long before we recognize it. Dr. Nicole shares her perspective on complex trauma, nervous system regulation, and the ways modern life constantly pulls us into reactivity without us even realizing it. We also explore why awareness is often the first step toward healing, how nature can help bring us back into balance, and why anxiety isn't necessarily something you have to live with forever.Check out Dr. Nicole's Free Gifts here: https://drnicolecain.com/free-gifts/KEY TAKEAWAYS: Anxiety may be a signal rather than the problem itself Panic often builds long before it feels like it comes out of nowhere Chronic stress can become invisible when it feels normal Complex trauma develops through repeated experiences over time Nature and nervous system regulation can support healingABOUT GUEST:Dr. Nicole Cain is a naturopathic physician, EMDR-trained clinician, author, and expert in trauma-informed mental health care, holistic anxiety treatment, and panic recovery. Holding a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology, she combines evidence-based psychology with integrative and functional medicine to help people address the root causes of anxiety and chronic stress. She is the author of Panic Proof (Rodale, 2024) and host of the Holistic Inner Balance: Natural Mental Health Podcast, where she shares research-backed strategies for emotional well-being.

In this episode, Dudley and Jared Musgrove explore what it means to return to a more biblical vision of the church. Through honest conversation and practical insights, they challenge modern ideas of church success, leadership, and discipleship, pointing instead to the simple yet powerful model of Apostolic Christianity found in the New Testament.Together, they discuss the role of house churches, the priesthood of all believers, and how Spiritual Gifts are best discovered through active participation in Kingdom Community. They also examine how Church Leadership can move beyond hierarchy and programs to empower every believer for ministry and discipleship.Through compelling stories and biblical reflection, this conversation highlights the importance of Authentic Faith expressed through real relationships, Spirit-led discipleship, and Faith in Action. Rather than relying on institutional structures alone, believers are encouraged to see needs, meet needs, and participate in the work God is already doing in their communities.We pray this message will encourage, challenge, and transform.As always, we invite you to share it with someone who needs it.

For decades, we've been told to avoid saturated fat. But what if one specific saturated fat is actually essential for healthy aging? In this episode of the ReThink Health Podcast, Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson and I discuss a groundbreaking discovery that could completely reshape how we think about fat, aging, and metabolic health. While studying aging Navy dolphins, Dr. Venn-Watson and her team uncovered something unexpected… The healthiest, longest-living dolphins consistently had higher levels of a little-known fatty acid called C15:0 (pentadecanoic acid). And researchers now believe C15 may qualify as the first newly discovered essential fatty acid in over 90 years since omega-3s were identified. In this fascinating conversation, Dr. Venn-Watson explains how decades of low-fat dietary recommendations may have unintentionally lowered our intake of this critical nutrient. Plus, we cover what that could mean for rising rates of insulin resistance, fatty liver disease, accelerated aging, and metabolic dysfunction. You'll learn: What C15 actually is and why scientists are calling it a potential essential fatty acid How dolphin research unexpectedly unlocked new insights into human aging and metabolic health The surprising connection between low C15 levels, fragile red blood cells, iron overload, and accelerated aging Why higher C15 levels are associated with lower risks of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease How modern low-fat dietary trends may have contributed to widespread C15 deficiency Which foods naturally contain higher amounts of C15 The connection between C15, metabolic health, inflammation, liver health, and biological aging What RDW (red blood cell distribution width) may reveal about aging and cellular health If you've ever wondered whether all saturated fats deserve their bad reputation… or why rates of metabolic disease seem to be skyrocketing despite decades of low-fat advice… this episode has the answers!

While working with the U.S. Navy-trained aging dolphin population, she discovered groundbreaking links between the fatty acid C15 and healthy aging, metabolic health, and cellular resilience. Her research has contributed to a rapidly growing body of evidence suggesting C15 may be an essential fatty acid with important implications for human health and longevity.

Learn how to turn complex legal services into clear, compelling marketing that actually converts. In this episode, you'll hear practical strategies for repurposing content, strengthening your online presence, and building referral relationships that consistently feed your law practice. In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Sylvia Garibaldi discuss: Niche marketing for divorce and legal professionals Positioning, messaging, and understanding your ideal client Repurposing podcasts, webinars, and video for multi-channel marketing Why referrals aren't converting like they used to Building referral partnerships through webinars and LinkedIn Key Takeaways: Growth comes from consistent, repeated action paired with learning and improvement, not just doing more of the same. Clear positioning and messaging are critical so referral partners and prospects instantly understand who you serve, what you do, and the results you deliver. Repurposing a single piece of content like a webinar or podcast into social posts, articles, and lead magnets is “marketing 101” and dramatically reduces the content burden. Referral conversion now depends heavily on your curated online presence, including your website, social media, podcast appearances, and especially a strong LinkedIn profile with social proof. Effective referral relationships require intention, follow-up, and the right partners; they're built over time through trust, value, and consistent communication, not one-off meetings. "In business and life, we tend to want to have the outcome first, but in reality, it does take time, it takes doing those reps and consistency, and so for me, doing that repeatedly has helped me build that habit." — Sylvia Garibaldi Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again.

1 Corinthians 2:9 reminds believers that God’s plans are far greater than anything we can imagine, even during seasons of grief, loss, and uncertainty. In this heartfelt devotional, Vivian Bricker reflects on the pain of losing her mother and the struggle of complex grief while pointing readers back to the hope found in God’s promises. Through Scripture and personal testimony, this Christian encouragement reminds us that God is still working even when life feels heavy and painful. Highlights God’s plans are greater than anything we can fully imagine. Grief and loss do not cancel God’s purpose for your life. 1 Corinthians 2:9 offers hope during painful seasons. God welcomes us to bring our sorrow and pain to Him. Complex grief can feel overwhelming, but God remains near. Romans 8:28 reminds believers that God works through suffering. Pain can become part of a testimony that encourages others. Trusting God allows hope to grow even in heartbreak.

Full Transcript Below: God Has Wonderful Plans in Store for YouBy: Vivian Bricker Bible Reading:“However, as it is written: ‘What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived’— the things God has prepared for those who love him” (1 Corinthians 2:9). Over the past year, I have come across many social media posts noting that 2016 was 10 years ago. My friends have shared posts reflecting upon their lives a decade ago; how much they have changed, what they have accomplished, and how much happier they are now. While it is great to see my friends flourishing in life, my heart breaks every time I am reminded of 2016. 2016 was the year my mom passed away. Every time I see the “decade challenge” or “decade glow-up,” I am once again crushed with the reality that my mom has been gone for ten years. Some days, it feels like she has been gone for only a few weeks, and other days, it feels like she has been gone for a century. The pain of her absence has only increased over the years. Upon restarting therapy, I discovered I have complex grief. Complex grief is different from regular grief because the latter does not endure for years; instead, there is an ending point, and you are able to make peace with the death of your loved one. However, with complex grief, it is impossible for you to move forward; you are paralyzed by their death, and you feel like your life has ended. Complex grief is remarkably common if you were dependent on the person who passed away. Perhaps you are walking through a similar season; a loved one passed away, and you are overcome with dread, grief, and pain. Rest at the foot of the cross and find solace in the Lord (Matthew 11:28-30). He will never make you feel guilty for mourning the loss of your loved one. Whether it's been a few days or a few decades, God understands the pain you are experiencing today. Intersecting Faith & Life: During these times, it is important to reflect upon our future with Christ. Paul tells us, “However, as it is written: ‘What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived’—the things God has prepared for those who love him” (1 Corinthians 2:9). Although we may be struggling now, this darkness will not endure forever. God has wonderful plans for our lives – plans that we may not even know about yet. Rather than fearing the worst, trust God. No mind in all history has articulated the plans God has for those who love Him. As His followers, we can surrender our pain, grief, and agony to Him. God will bring light back into our lives, surround us with His love, and show us the plans He has for our lives. Lean into God’s amazing work today and trust Him with the process (Proverbs 3:5-6). Your grief may continue for the rest of your life, but this does not mean you cannot enjoy the wonderful plans God has for you. He may even use this present pain to encourage you to help others, such as supporting those who have also lost loved ones, building up the family of God, or praying for those who are in end-of-life care. The plans He has for you are amazing; do not give up now, your life has just begun. Are you ready to take hold of the wonderful plans God has for your life? What do you think God has in store for you?

The crew kicks things off with a tale of restaurant frustration that snowballs into a broader conversation about bad service, false promises, and the unwritten code between businesses and their customers. From there, the episode digs into Complex's viral Top 50 New York Rappers of All Time list — and the crew has plenty to say. They debate whether the list is a legitimate ranking, deliberate rage bait, or a mix of both, unpacking the criteria, questioning some of the inclusions, and making the case for the names that got left off entirely. From legends who should be higher to modern acts that have no business being on a "best ever" list, it's a deep, opinionated ride through New York rap history.

In this In this episode of The Sacred Speaks, Dr. John W. Price sits down with Dr. Susan Schwartz, Jungian analyst and author, for a searching conversation about one of the most underaddressed wounds in contemporary psychology: the absent father. Susan is the author of The Absent Father Effect on Daughters and the forthcoming Absent Fathers, Yearning Sons. Her clinical work draws on decades of practice and deep immersion in Jungian theory, and what she brings to this conversation is not just scholarly precision but the kind of knowledge that only comes from sitting with this material in the consulting room across a lifetime. Father absence, she argues, is routinely minimized in both psychoanalytic literature and popular culture. John and Susan move through the specific ways absence shapes identity, relatedness, sexuality, and the gaze. They explore what it means when a father's eyes are never there to confirm a daughter's body, her mind, her worth, and how fathers model partnering, love, and respect for soul. Susan brings two clinical dreams into the conversation: one involving Vladimir Putin as a figure for the negative father complex, and one about cleaning a closet that opens into something unexpected and alive. These are not illustrations. They are the unconscious at work, showing what the personal father could not provide and what the psyche has done with that absence in the meantime. The conversation moves into territory that will matter to men as much as women: the relationship between absent fathers and male brutality, the failure of initiation when the father is not present to initiate, the ancestral and communal dimensions of the wound, and whether fathers can actually change. Susan's answer to that last question is honest and worth hearing slowly. The episode closes with the questions she believes everyone should be asking, and almost no one does.

Pastor digs deeper into the question "where was the temple gate that was called the 'Beautiful Gate' located?" In Acts 3:1-2 we see that there was a lame man begging for alms at the Beautiful Gate. Pastor opens with stating that we are not sure exactly where it was located, but that there are several theories on its location. Several locations have been proposed: One of the earliest proposed locations is that it may have been the Eastern Gate or the Sushan Gate. However, surviving literature says this gate was not used by the people to go in and out of the Temple Complex, but was used for the religious practices like taking sacrifices out. Without the coming and going of people the lame man would not have been begging there. Another proposal is the Nicanor Gate made of bronze. It was one of the gates in a secondary wall that surrounded the Sanctuary area within the Temple Complex, but there is a good deal of evidence that it was not a practice to allow the lame into the inner court area. The third proposal has been suggested by many as the gate the lame man would have used. It is a gate located at the southern end of the Complex and known as the Double Gate, the main gate through which the people would have entered the Temple Complex. Pastor Dodge references a book by archeologist and architect, Leen Ritmeyer, entitled "The Quest: Revealing the Temple Mount in Jerusalem." Ritmeyer suggests that the Double Gate is where the lame man would have been. Pastor shares recent archeological work exposing the massive pilgrim route from the Pool of Saloam up to the Double Gate entrance of the Temple Complex. Some of the "Southern Steps" leading up to the Double Gate from Jesus' day and before, can still be seen today. While we do not know exactly where the lame man was that day, what we do know is that he was changed. In the hours after the lame man's miraculous healing remarkable things followed and that's what we will look at in our exploration of Acts chapter 4 of our study "God ACTS! Then and Now."

If your family has ever felt like a soap opera you can't escape, this episode is for you. For the finale of Season 9, Tara sits down with Karan Mahajan to discuss The Complex, a sweeping family saga set in Delhi across the 1980s and 90s. Through the rise and fall of the Chopra family, they unpack the emotional realities of marriage, the loneliness of immigration, family expectations, male inadequacy, and the uncomfortable question of how personal disappointments can evolve into political resentments.What happens when a marriage becomes the defining factor in a woman's future? And how do family loyalties survive affairs, betrayals, and decades of silence?Karan also talks about playing with the line between fact and fiction from the very first page, opening the novel with a supposedly "found" 100,000-word manuscript by the mysterious Mohit Chopra. Together, they explore how fictional families can help us understand real historical moments, from immigration and the Emergency's aftermath to the rise of Hindu nationalism.Karan takes us behind the scenes of a novel that took nearly a decade to reach readers: from a 500-page draft during the early months of COVID to separating himself from the characters before editing. Finally, he shares the advice he gives his students at Brown: write in conversation with your unconscious and never lose that sense of childish wonder that made you want to tell stories in the first place. Press play to tune out of your family drama and into the Chopra family's.Books mentioned in this episode: The Haunting of Hajji Hotak by Jamil Jan KochaiApplications for The Bound Publishing Course 2026 are now open.The Bound Publishing Course is a 3-month intensive course on book, magazine, and digital publishing.

In this episode of Retail War Games, I'm joined by Jon Klotz, the President of Natural Waterscapes. Jon shares an incredible masterclass on how he took a traditional, boots-on-the-ground environmental construction company and completely pivoted it into a hyper-efficient, 100% controlled direct-to-consumer product powerhouse. We dive deep into why Jon made the high-stakes decision to completely shut down his multi-state construction division to double down entirely on e-commerce and proprietary product development. Jon breaks down a massive macro shift happening right under our feet: the death of traditional Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and the rapid rise of Answer Engine Optimization (AEO). He explains how his team built a cutting-edge web app ecosystem to capture this shift, utilizing third-party watershed and soil data to predict exactly what treatments a customer's pond or lake will need before problems even start—locking in deep customer stickiness and securing margin-heavy sales.

Stewart Alsop sat down with Michael Shackelford to discuss their experiences building applications through vibe coding—the practice of using AI to create software without traditional programming expertise. Stewart, who runs the AI Whispers community in Buenos Aires and hosts the Crazy Wisdom podcast (with over 660 interviews), shared how he went from teaching people prompt engineering to building his own video conferencing software as a Riverside.fm replacement, while Michael opened up about his year-long journey creating Genrupt Inc, an AI-powered content generation tool for e-commerce sellers. The conversation covered everything from the decline in quality of Claude's reasoning capabilities and how Chinese companies used distillation attacks to copy Anthropic's models, to the importance of spaced repetition systems for managing knowledge in the age of LLMs, with both sharing battle-tested prompting strategies like asking AI to "explain it to me in genius terms" and using deep research queries to reverse engineer how competitors build their products.Show Notes:- Dan Martell's book "Buy Back Your Time" was mentioned as one of the best business books for thinking about life and business- Check out John Vervaeke's "Awakening from the Meaning Crisis" for understanding relevance realization and why AI fundamentally cannot determine what's relevant to humans without being toldTimestamps00:00 Michael discusses being exhausted from getting his app ready for launch, working nonstop with AI to prepare landing page for podcast traffic driving beta signups05:00 Stewart explains starting AI Whispers in Buenos Aires after leaving OpenAI vendor company, meeting early adopters like Torin who was building mind-reading EEG technology10:00 Discussion of how corporations resist AI adoption due to political games and job security fears while some companies use AI as excuse for pandemic-era layoffs15:00 Stewart describes teaching workshops on using LLMs as linguistic tools rather than coding tools, noting technical people often lack humanities background needed for prompting20:00 Explaining chatbot wrappers, API calls, and how Anthropic's reasoning quality declined after Chinese distillation attacks copied their secret sauce developed with philosophers25:00 Technical discussion of model training, fine-tuning versus RAG for new information, and different approaches to updating AI knowledge beyond initial training30:00 Stewart describes building podcast recording software to replace expensive Riverside, struggling with syncing audio and video files across different computer clocks35:00 Discussion of critical factors in vibe coding, discovering unknown technical requirements, and how AIs don't automatically reveal missing information40:00 Stewart's reverse engineering process using deep research function to study competitors' hiring and technology stacks, separating planning agents from coding agents45:00 Prompting techniques including "explain like I know everything" and using spaced repetition systems to capture valuable prompts and technical knowledge50:00 Michael explains his Generux app for generating ecommerce content using Amazon review data analysis to inform high-converting listing images and videos55:00 Discussion of founder mentality involving self-delusion about project timelines, Michael working nine-plus hours daily for nine months on app development60:00 Comparing Amazon's expert software to prosumer software approach, discussing distribution challenges and future robotics applications for customized products65:00 Stewart demonstrates spaced repetition app for memory improvement and knowledge retention, explaining relevance realization problem that AI agents cannot solve without embodimentKey Insights1. Stewart Alsop started AI Whisperers in Buenos Aires after leaving his role at Invisible Technologies, which was OpenAI's largest vendor for RLHF work. He noticed that machine learning engineers at tech companies lacked the humanities background needed to properly interact with large language models, which are fundamentally linguistic tools. This led him to create weekly workshops teaching non-technical people how to use AI effectively, running events every Thursday for two years straight. The group attracted intense geeks from the start and eventually led to Stewart speaking right after Vitalik Buterin at DevConnect, marking a significant milestone for the community.2. Large corporations are resistant to AI adoption due to multiple factors including political dynamics within organizations and employees fearing job loss. Many companies that grew during the pandemic are now using AI as an excuse to downsize when the real issue is inefficiency from rapid expansion. Stewart observed that even technical people in machine learning often don't understand how to properly use AI tools because they lack linguistic and humanities training. The fundamental problem is educational, requiring companies to train people how to use these new tools while those same people resist learning them.3. Vibe coding has evolved significantly with Claude Code being a game changer that reduced the technical barrier to entry. Before Claude Code, developers needed substantial technical knowledge to work through constant doom loops and debugging cycles. The success of coding AI tools stems from thirty years of testing infrastructure that provides clear yes or no feedback on whether code works. This infrastructure doesn't exist in the same way for manufacturing, science, and other fields, which is why software became the dominant area for AI assistance initially.4. Claude's quality degradation over recent months resulted from multiple factors including distillation attacks by Chinese companies who reverse engineered Anthropic's reasoning capabilities. Anthropic had hired philosophers, sociologists, and psychologists to develop exceptional reasoning in Claude 4.5, but this was expensive to run. When Chinese models like Kimi copied these capabilities at one tenth the cost, and when mainstream users flooded the platform before Anthropic's planned IPO, the company had to reduce quality to manage computational costs. This represents a significant loss for power users who relied on Claude's superior reasoning abilities.5. Stewart built a podcast recording application to replace Riverside because he needed API access to automate workflows, which Riverside wanted one thousand dollars monthly to provide. The technical challenge involves syncing audio and video from local recordings on multiple computers with different clocks through a server, then merging them so voices match lip movements. This problem requires understanding complex timing issues across different network conditions and file formats. Stewart has been working through AI psychosis for months on this FFMPEG pipeline problem, illustrating how vibe coding still requires building intuition about technical problems even without traditional coding knowledge.6. The transition from expert software to prosumer software represents a major opportunity for AI-enabled tools. Expert software like Photoshop, Blender, and terminal interfaces have extreme complexity that intimidates beginners, but AI is making these capabilities accessible through natural language. The reign of specialists is ending as generalists with broad knowledge and curiosity can now build complete applications by leveraging AI to fill technical gaps. This shift particularly benefits entrepreneurs and founders who specialize in getting into difficult situations and figuring them out, even when they originally thought tasks would be easier than they turned out to be.7. Building applications with AI requires accepting massive time investments beyond initial estimates and developing strategies for overcoming knowledge gaps. Michael estimated his ecommerce content generation app would take months but spent nearly a year working over nine hours daily, while Stewart spent months solving audio-video sync issues. Success requires using tools like deep research to understand how competitors solve problems, maintaining separate planning and coding agents, and learning to ask the right questions. The key insight is that vibe coders can achieve ninety percent of functionality independently, but the final ten percent often requires understanding specific technical concepts that AI cannot intuit without proper context and domain knowledge.
In the early 20th century, some retailers would advertise a product at an attractively low price to lure customers into the store, claim the item was out of stock or of poor quality then pressure customers to buy a more expensive alternative. The practice became known in the public vernacular as "bait and switch" in the 1920s. This week, we look at three modern bait and switches pertinent to our beat. First, Julian looks at “free speech patriot” Chud the Builder's slimy social media tactics. Then Derek investigates RFK Jr's SNAP benefits now you see them, now you don't.

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Jenny Demark, Conrad Leung, and Dr. Linda Reinstein to talk about their new book, Complex Kids, Simple Solutions: How to Raise Resilient, Confident, Likable Kids. These are clinicians who've spent years working directly with families dealing with everything from emotion regulation challenges, to childhood anxiety, to severe behavioral challenges, and what I liked about this conversation is that it stayed extremely practical throughout. We spent a lot of time talking about their "Prepare, Teach, Motivate" framework, and how parents and professionals can think more systematically about helping kids build resilience and coping skills rather than just reacting to challenging behavior in the moment. Along the way, we discussed: Why some children require more intentional and consistent parenting approaches than others. How to build stronger relationships with kids who engage in challenging behavior. The importance of following a child's interests to create meaningful connection. Screen time struggles and how to reduce device dependence without escalating conflict. Emotion regulation strategies for children with frequent outbursts. Why many young children struggle to generalize skills learned in traditional talk therapy. The role of parental accommodation in maintaining anxiety and avoidance. Practical approaches to school refusal and helping kids gradually face difficult situations. Why parent coaching is often more effective than focusing exclusively on the child in therapy. The importance of self-care for parents and practitioners alike. I think this episode will be especially valuable for behavior analysts, school professionals, clinicians, and of course parents trying to support kids with more complex behavioral and emotional needs.
