Every once in a while, the universe taps you on the shoulder and says, "Here ya go … this one's one of yours." That's exactly what happened when I discovered Pete Bombaci, Founder & CEO of GenWell, Canada's Human Connection Movement — and the man behind Talk To A Stranger Week, happening November 24–30 in Canada. As many of you know, I'm the author of How To Talk To Strangers: Advice From a Professional Stranger Talker, so when I found out about Pete's work, I thought, "Yup. This is my kinda guy. He won't be a stranger for long! " LOL Pete and I are kindred spirits with the same mission. To educate, empower and catalyze people in about the importance of face-to-face social connections as a proactive step that we can all take for our own health and happiness or the health and happiness of others and society. The Big Truth: Human Connection Is Not Just Emotional — It's Biological We've all heard "connection matters," but the science behind it is mind-blowing: Face-to-face interaction activates nine times more brain activity than digital communication. 80–90% of communication is nonverbal, so our screens simply can't deliver what our brains and hearts crave. Talking to strangers has been shown to increase happiness nearly 100% of the time — for BOTH people. Regular social connection lowers stress, boosts the immune system, protects heart health, and can even lengthen lifespan. Read that again. We're wired to connect — literally. Pete said it beautifully: "Talking to strangers makes us happier, healthier, and more connected. The research proves it." And: "We're all just human beings trying to live a decent life. We're far better off together than separate." Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. So What Happens During Talk to A Stranger Week? No pressure. No scripts. No "Hi, I'm Debbie from Telemarketing." Just real human warmth in the small everyday moments: Say good morning to the dog walker. Compliment the barista. Shout 'youre doing great!' to a struggling Mom with a wagon full of kids Call the cousin you always say you're going to get together with. It's about choosing connection over autopilot. Pete broke it down simply: "It costs nothing. It takes one second. And you may change someone's day — or their life." The Best Part People who talk to strangers regularly are up to three times happier than those who don't. Three. Times. Happier. If happiness were sold in a bottle, we'd all be lining up! But here it is — FREE — hiding inside hello. And we've been overlooking it. Listen to Our Heartfelt, Funny, and Very Real Conversation . We laugh, we learn, we talk Canadian coins and Chatty Cathy dolls (no, seriously), and we lean into what the world needs now — connection. PS So far there's no tariff on importing 'good vibes' :-)
Hi Mamas, We're stepping into the cozy magic of the holiday season… the time for gratitude, giving, and a little extra grace (for others and ourselves). Between the chaos of school events, endless to-do lists, and “Who's bringing dessert?” group texts, it's easy to forget what this season is really about: kindness. This week, we're centering our hearts around this powerful quote from Anne Frank:
Many patients have questions on the use of peptides. What are peptides and what are the most common peptides used as well as the safety and other concerns. BPC157 is one of the most common peptides that patients ask about. There are more but today, Ray Solano of PD Labs and I discussed peptide use and safety. Chapters: 0:00
Did you know the average person says around 16,000 words a day, but only one in five are actually positive? That stat from the University of Arizona blew my mind — and honestly, it made me stop and ask, am I speaking more complimentary or more critical?In this solo episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I dive deep into one of the most powerful mindset shifts that has changed the way I communicate, in my marriage, my business, and my own self-talk. It's all about replacing criticism with genuine compliments and learning how to speak life into the people (and moments) around you.Here are a few key takeaways from this episode:Your words are building or breaking connection — Every sentence is either bringing you closer or pushing you apart from your partner, your kids, your team, even yourself.The “5:1 ratio” is real — According to the Gottman Institute, successful relationships have five positive interactions for every one negative one. When that ratio flips, so does the harmony.What you reinforce gets repeated — Whether it's your spouse, your kids, or your employees, people thrive when they're recognized and appreciated. Highlight what's working — it multiplies.Curiosity beats criticism — Instead of asking “Why did you do that?” (which usually triggers defensiveness), try “Help me understand what you were thinking.” It opens the door for empathy and connection.The Flip-the-Script Challenge — For the next 7 days, catch yourself when you're about to criticize and replace it with a compliment or a question. You'll be amazed at how quickly your energy — and relationships — shift.This episode is a powerful reminder that our words are spells. They can heal or hurt, connect or divide, uplift or drain. So, speak life. Be the person who compliments more, criticizes less, and spreads positivity everywhere you go.Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.comNancy and Sarah talk about “The Great Feminization,” a Compact essay that's stirred the hornet's nest of social media. The recent story, by Helen Andrews, argues that many recent cultural shifts — cancel culture, wokeness, safetyism — can be explained by the influence of women, who tend to prioritize empathy over rationality and cohesion over competition. Is it true? Is it offensive? Let's discuss! Also discussed:* Compliment sandwiches* Twelve-year-old Nancy gets piled on by the older girls at camp* Dreamy Argentinian boys causing trouble* Spilling to a journalist = tattling to the teacher?* “Math is hard”* Male bosses versus female bosses* Mean-girl behavior* “I think” versus “I feel”* Am I allowed to get an orange soda?* Nancy equates cancel culture with communism; Sarah says, WTF?* No adults in the room* What is a “meta-textual performance? Is it a puppet show? * “Misogynist howlers”Plus, a true-crime documentary that exposes surveillance culture, Nancy on the chef whose recipes actually work — and more!Thank you to Andrew Wimsatt, who snatched our video from the jaws of defeat. It's one battle after another with technology around here!

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech Training and Pico TechnologyWatch Full Video EpisodeMatt wrestles with a lifelong pattern of shame, defensiveness, and downplaying wins—and how naming it (out loud) is helping him show up better at work and at home. This one's part confessional, part field guide: practical, unglamorous steps for accepting compliments, advocating for your value, and being safer to confront in relationships.Content note: brief, heartfelt discussion of infant loss (the story of Matt's son, Benjamin).Why listenIf you instinctively swat away compliments or feel “pride” is off-limits, this gives language—and a few reps—to shift that.Shops, teams, and families run better when we replace shame/stonewalling with honesty and curiosity.HighlightsThe “shame tank”: how early patterns trained Matt to equate mistakes with identity (“I did something dumb” → “I am dumb”) and how that fueled resentment cycles with employers and loved ones.Stonewall → spill → reset → repeat: the loop that forms when you won't self-advocate until pressure boils over.Compliment deflection ≠ humility: jokes like “you need to get out more” felt safe, but quietly devalued real wins.Owning value without arrogance: learning to state what you bring to the table without feeling like your mouth is on fire.Two proud moments (finally named):Benjamin's birth: staying present, stopping futile interventions, and making sure mom and family had time with him. https://mattfanslow.captivate.fm/episode/overcoming-the-loss-of-a-child-finding-a-silver-lining-e035Post-divorce boundaries: noticing red flags early and exiting a relationship kindly (growth in real life, not theory).Professional growth he'll actually own: the podcast, teaching, equipment dev/beta, EEPROM/board-level work, and expanding beyond “just drivability.”Result of doing the work: markedly better conversations with his boss; marriage moving from “fine” to genuinely “great.”Practical takeawaysLanguage swap: “I did something dumb” ≠ “I am dumb.” Keep identity out of error statements.Three-beat compliment drill: Hear it → pause → say “thank you” → full stop. (Joke later if you must.)Mini inventory: keep a running note of 3 specific things you did well this week; read it before hard conversations.Advocacy prep: write a one-page “value brief” before comp talks: outcomes, examples, and how they helped the shop/client.Repair the feedback channel: agree with your partner/teammate on a critique ritual (time, signal word, and goal).Get a spotter: a counselor/therapist helps reveal blind spots faster than white-knuckling it alone.People & mentionsBob (AAPEX episode—“shame tank” origin point in prior convo) https://mattfanslow.captivate.fm/episode/exploring-relationships-health-and-personal-growth-with-bob-heipp-e109Equilibrium Therapy Services — Margaret Light (Minnesota)

Send us a textHow do we know how to live a good Christian life? The best answer to this question is given in this Sunday's readings. Like all good inventors, God has given us a manual to help us live a good Christian life. That manual is Holy Scripture- which St Paul tells us in the 2nd reading is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness. In the first reading these same sacred writings tell us that in their fight with Amalek "Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed". Arms raised high in our Christian tradition does not only signify prayer or surrender but also a powerful image of companionship in the Christian life. . Through prayer and surrender, our help comes from God who made heaven and earth. Our Gospel tells us that God always hears our prayer and calls us to be persistent in prayer. Friends, we are invited today to rush to the holy Word of God! Read it, pray with it, and invite the Holy Spirit to speak to us through it. There, and only there can we find the wisdom needed to face every circumstance.Support the show

How strong are your conversation skills? Whether you are stepping into a boardroom, attending a networking event, or connecting with coworkers over coffee, the way you show up in conversations matters. This episode of the Forward Thinking Podcast features FCCS SVP of Marketing and Communications Stephanie Barton and Tracy Hooper, founder of the Confidence Project and author of The NOW Hello. Their conversation is filled with practical tips, personal stories, and the small language shifts that make a big difference in how we connect with others. Episode Insights Include: Why do conversations feel so hard? Anxiety around conversations is common and natural. When we focus too much on ourselves, we are unable to focus on the other person. Conversations should not be about you, but about the other person. Shift into curiosity mode – what can you learn? How can you make them comfortable? Techniques to start a conversation Before you enter any room, strike a power pose. “I'm going to meet some interesting people today, and this is going to be fun.” Start with a compliment or a connection you have. State something that you know about them or their company. Compliment a person's character or trait rather than their looks. Use the magic words – what, how, and tell me more. The Golden Rule – treat everyone as if they are the most important thing in the room. Tips for Introverts If you're not energized by meeting people, prepare your mind in advance. Don't try to meet every person in the room, select just 2 or 3 to focus on. It will take energy to talk to people, so be kind to yourself in the process. If you are exhausted after an event, take a nap! Entering an existing conversation Wait for a slight pause in the conversation, then say, “May I join you?” Highlight what you heard them talking about. Toe-to-toe means no – a conversation between two people is not appropriate to enter. Read body language to determine if the conversation is open to others. Help! I forgot their name Don't run in the opposite direction. Preempt the awkward – offer your name first. Mention that they look familiar or that you do recognize them. If necessary, simply say, “Help me with your name”. Make introductions when welcoming others into your conversation. “Come join us, we were just talking about ___” and “Do you all know each other?” “I'll let you all introduce yourselves.” Politely exiting a conversation The graceful dismount is a 4-step art that must be practiced. 1- Say thank you for the conversation. 2- Acknowledge the stories they told. 3- Use a farewell phrase about the future. 4- Offer a goodbye gesture. First impressions and body language Body language is the unsung hero of successful conversations. Pull your shoulders down and away from your ears. Good posture speaks confidence for you before you open your mouth. Practice good grooming in your appearance. Dress for success – don't touch your hair or your face. Check your tone of voice and slow down your words. Say three sentences and a period. Then it's their turn to talk. Consider what you actually want to say, and eliminate the filler words.

Apparently, we can be a little bit mean to each other. So, we got a request to try complimenting each other for once. It's actually a pretty nice break from the norm. Dylan doesn't want any spoilers at all regarding the Ed Gaines serial killer story since he's binging the latest Netflix show about it. It leads to a discussion about scary movies and if they stand the test of time? The audience helps us compile a list of the best ones of all time. Do kids these days still watch the movie ET? We argue about whether or not ET was cute or ugly.

You'll hear stories, strategies, and even Ella's wisdom that “the least important thing about you is how you look.” This is more than parenting advice—it's a call to build homes where kids feel safe, supported, and celebrated for who they truly are. ⭐ Key Takeaways→ Kids mirror what we say about our own bodies.→ Replace diet talk with fueling and nourishing conversations.→ Compliment effort, kindness, and character more than looks.→ Movement should be fun, not punishment.→ Teach kids about filters and online image distortion.

A newly released 238-page “birthday book,” compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell in 2003 to celebrate Jeffrey Epstein's 50th birthday, revealed a handwritten message from former President Bill Clinton. In the entry, Clinton praised Epstein's “childlike curiosity,” his drive to make a difference, and the comfort he found in his circle of friends. The letter was written in a warm and admiring tone, with no mention of Epstein's darker activities, and has reignited debate about the former president's closeness to the disgraced financier during the early 2000s.The House Oversight Committee made the full book public in September 2025, intensifying scrutiny of Epstein's powerful social network. Clinton's office has continued to deny knowledge of Epstein's crimes and insists their contact was limited to philanthropy and travel linked to charitable work, ending years before Epstein's arrest. Nonetheless, the release of the letter has deepened public questions about how prominent figures distanced themselves only after Epstein's downfall became impossible to ignore.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bill Clinton's birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein praising 'childlike curiosity' is revealed along with creepy drawing of billionaire pedophile | Daily Mail Online

Have you ever walked into school on the first day and felt tightness in your shoulders or a pit in your stomach…you feel like everyone else knows what they are doing, everyone else has it together, everyone else has a friend…I am the only one feeling nervous, or no one even knows I exists…RUPI KAUR once said, “the irony of loneliness is we all feel it together.” I promise you whatever you felt the first day or the tenth day of school…You're not alone—there are hundreds of other teens feeling the exact same way. Everyone feels insecure to a varying degree when we are put in new places and new beginnings. Connecting with others and being confident in new situations has always been one of my super powers. My natural propensity to love everyone and innate sincere curiosity to learn more about others' stories makes it easier for me to naturally help others feel at ease, break down social barriers and make friends with just about anyone. As I have seen people I love dearly struggle with doing these things I have comtemplated on what I do naturally that helps me feel self assured regardless of what situation I am facing. And today I am going to share 6 super simple confidence hacks with you so even if you do not possess my same natural inclination to connect with others-you can still feel like you belong at school, work, church, on the team, at a party or wherever you find yourself. I want you to feel empowered and even maybe a little excited to make connections at school. “There's a quote I love that says: ‘Confidence isn't walking into a room thinking you're better than everyone. It's walking in and not having to compare yourself to anyone at all.' Confidence doesn't mean you are the loudest person in the room or the person who knows the most people at school. It's about showing up as yourself, and having the courage to connect in a way that is honoring to your personality. I want you to feel like you belong. I want you to feeling like you are enough. That's the kind of confidence I want to help you feel as you start this new school year. These are 6 tools I know will help you get there! The 6 S's of Confidence.1. Start the night before.2. Shoulders-roll them back.3. Smile - a slight turn of the corners of the mouth is all it takes. 4. eStablish common grounda. Notice small details.b. Use the environment. c. Compliment someone.d. Ask open ended questions. Get someone to talk about something they love.5. Small steps - courage is taking it one step at a time. Check out Episode 123!! https://www.buzzsprout.com/1934961/episodes/164320876. Self talk-be mindful how you speak to yourself.
