To connect with others, you have to get out of your own head.Whether presenting to millions on live television or talking to just one person, Dan Harris knows that the quality of every interaction depends on the presence you bring to it.Harris is a former national news anchor for ABC News and is now the host of the 10% Happier podcast and author of 10% Happier and Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics. As he knows from experience, there's power in “Waking up to something fundamental, that the mind is out of control, and you don't want to be owned by it.” How do we break the pattern of being controlled by our thoughts? Mindfulness and self-awareness, he says, put “distance” between us and our “thoughts and urges and emotions,” enabling us to connect with ourselves and others with greater consciousness and clarity.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Harris and host Matt Abrahams discuss how mindfulness can transform our communication, sharing strategies for deeper listening, responding versus reacting, and reflecting what others say back to them. “Relationships are the most important aspect of your happiness,” Harris says. The quality of those connections goes up when “you're “less stuck in your own head.”Episode Reference Links:Dan HarrisDan's Books: 10% Happier / Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics Ep.179 Finding Positive in Negative Emotions: Communication, Happiness & Wellbeing Ep.180 Unlocking Your Future Self: Communication, Happiness & Wellbeing Ep.181 Why Happiness is a Direction, Not a Destination: Communication, Happiness & Wellbeing Ep.182 Stop Chasing Time and Start Owning It: Communication, Happiness & Wellbeing  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:51) - On-Air Panic Attack (02:59) - Managing Communication Anxiety (04:01) - Nervousness Before Live Audiences (05:48) - Meditation Misconceptions (09:36) - Responding vs. Reacting (12:07) - Mindfulness & Productivity (15:11) - Lessons from Interviewing (17:19) - The Final Three Question (25:14) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

In this episode, Sean Fargo explores the deep relationship between mindfulness and concentration — two practices that are often taught separately but in reality support and sustain each other. Drawing inspiration from his teacher Ajahn Chah, Sean reflects on how concentration serves as the foundation that allows mindfulness to stay steady with the unfolding present moment. Through personal stories from his years as a Buddhist monk and practical concentration exercises, Sean highlights how simplicity, stillness, and focus can help us extend the duration of our presence. From visualizations in the belly to counting breaths, focusing on external objects, or repeating loving-kindness phrases, concentration practice becomes a refuge from the busyness of modern life and a gateway into joy, clarity, and perspective. Listeners are invited to experiment with lengthening their meditations, stringing together multiple sessions, or even holding mini at-home retreats. Sean Fargo also shares candid reflections on challenges like the five hindrances, the difference between grasping and genuine focus, and how deep concentration can lead to profound insights, stillness, and even some of life's happiest moments. What you'll learn in this episode: Why mindfulness and concentration are “two ends of the same stick” Practical techniques to stay present longer, from breath counting to visualization How concentration fuels mindfulness and supports choiceless awareness The role of concentration in overcoming the five hindrances Insights into stillness, joy, and clarity that arise with deeper practice Resources & Links: Watch the full session on YouTube: Staying Present Longer Learn more about Ajahn Chah's teachings: ajahnchah.org Explore free meditations, courses, and trainings at MindfulnessExercises.com Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, William Blair Global Strategist Olga Bitel joins us to unpack her “Perpetual Growth Machine” framework and what it means for investors navigating AI, tariffs, inflation volatility, market concentration, and a shifting global order. We dig into why growth often emerges from solving problems, how monopolies can stunt future innovation, where AI's productivity dividends could accrue, and why she sees the next decade's best opportunities outside the United States. Olga also walks through the risks she's watching, why facts change faster than narratives, and practical ways to connect top-down insights with bottom-up research.Topics coveredThe Perpetual Growth Machine: why needs spark innovation and growth, and how investors can spot it earlyWhy monopolies look great to investors but hurt long-term growth and innovationAI as a general purpose technology and the scale of potential productivity savingsHousing affordability, incomes, and policy bottlenecks through the PGM lensHow firms are actually adopting AI and how faster data changes research cadenceEurope's defense build-out and the rise of national champions and small-cap innovatorsInterpreting market concentration and what it signals about competitionInflation oscillation, policy mix, and why the Fed's tools have limitsTariffs as a regressive tax and how costs pass through to consumers over timeUS exceptionalism narrowing and why ex-US markets may lead in the coming cycleThe Draghi report and tearing down barriers inside the EU single marketComparing late-1990s tech to today's AI build-out and who the next leaders may beGrowth vs. value: focusing on sustained profit inflections, not cheapness aloneUsing stakeholder analysis to link macro themes to bottom-up stock workBiggest opportunities: Japan, Korea, Europe, select emerging markets, and parts of the Middle EastBiggest risk: a breakdown in the global order amid US-China tensionsClosing lessons: stay curious, stay nimble, question narratives, track the factsTimestamps00:00 Introduction and Olga's role at William Blair02:49 The Perpetual Growth Machine explained06:24 Policy bottlenecks, incentives, and growth09:32 AI as a general purpose technology and productivity math11:53 Practical AI adoption inside investment firms15:06 Where PGM points to opportunity right now16:26 Europe's defense spending and emerging winners19:02 Macro setup and consumer health20:42 Inflation today and what's changed under the hood22:46 The Fed's dilemma and limits of monetary policy25:00 Tariffs 101: who pays and how it shows up28:55 Early evidence in goods prices29:41 US exceptionalism vs. the rest of the world31:00 The Draghi report and a real EU single market33:11 Can Europe and others catch up in tech?36:15 EU financial services barriers and capital deployment37:07 Portfolio implications: why look ex-US39:10 Late-1990s tech vs. today's AI cycle41:20 Concentration risk and competition policy42:26 Value vs. growth through the PGM lens44:48 Base rates, sustaining growth, and churn at the top49:33 Marrying macro themes with bottom-up research51:08 Firsthand observation vs. headline narratives52:20 Biggest opportunities across regions53:00 Middle East changes and new listings54:48 Biggest risk: global order and US-China tensions55:36 Parting advice for investors

Concentration risk in the Mag 7 and the communications services sector is something that Charles Schwab's Kevin Gordon considers a "yellow flag." He wouldn't be surprised if there's a pullback on weakness in those names, or if the Fed signals more hawkish-than-expected commentary from Wednesday's meeting. Kathy Jones tells investors to watch bonds. While she doesn't expect a bond rally, changes in the yield curve can offer signs of future price action.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Send us a textEver feel like you've lost your flow on the bike? Maybe trails that used to feel fun now feel overwhelming, or it's just harder to get out the door. In this episode, we dive into the psychology of getting over a slump and finding joy in riding again.Drawing inspiration from Jake Johnston's great YouTube video and the work of sports psychologist Dr. Craig Manning, we break down:✅ What a slump really is – when interference (injury, distraction, self-doubt, past crashes) keeps you from your true potential. ✅ The ABCs of sport psychology:Awareness – recognizing where you're at on the performance bell curve.Breathing – using your breath to shift your nervous system and manage energy.Concentration – keeping it simple and staying present (think 3 cues max: pump, breathe, look). ✅ Practical tips to beat the slump – from riding new trails, cross-training, and yoga to upgrading your bike, sessioning features, or even braving a rainy ride.We also share personal insights on how to reset your mindset, set small goals, and bring the fun back to your rides.

Join us as we unpack three distinct types of equanimity: equanimity as an enlightenment factor, equanimity of energy, and equanimity about formations. Margaret's insights into these essential aspects of Buddhist philosophy provide listeners with practical tools for maintaining emotional balance in the face of life's ups and downs. Key Highlights: ·       Equanimity as an Enlightenment Factor: This episode begins with the exploration of equanimity as one of the seven factors essential for enlightenment. Margaret discusses how cultivating equanimity helps in abandoning mental defilements and regulates our emotional responses. Through seclusion, dispassion, and cessation, we can nurture this vital quality in our lives. ·       Five Paths to Equanimity: Discover the five practical paths to achieving equanimity, which emphasize maintaining neutrality towards all living beings, avoiding favoritism, and fostering connections with neutral individuals. These strategies serve to strengthen our resolve and enhance our equanimity in daily interactions. ·       Equanimity of Energy: Tune in to learn about the delicate balance of energy necessary for optimal performance, as explained through the Yerkes-Dodson Law. Margaret compares this balance to the tuning of lute strings, highlighting how too much tension or too little can hinder our ability to concentrate and meditate effectively. ·       Equanimity About Formations: The discussion shifts to understanding the impermanence of our experiences and the critical realization that formations are not inherently "me" or "mine." This perspective is vital for progressing spiritually, from the entry point on the path to achieving the state of an arhant. ·       Core Insights for Life: As we navigate challenging times, Margaret emphasizes the importance of cultivating a "wise mind and gentle heart." This approach is not only practical but essential for maintaining equanimity amidst turmoil. ·       Spiritual Development: Wrapping up the episode, we reflect on the importance of recognizing suffering, impermanence, and the concept of non-self as foundational elements in the journey toward spiritual neutrality and growth. Tune in now to gain valuable insights that can help you navigate your own path with greater equanimity.

In this installment, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach/journalist Jo Confino explore the art of transmission in Buddhism: wisdom and teachings being passed down over time, from teacher to student.  The hosts touch on the profound and nuanced ways in which Buddhist teachings and insights are passed down through generations, with the goal of cultivating understanding, compassion, and liberation; the role of nature as a powerful transmitter of wisdom; the significance of rituals and ceremonies in honoring this transmission; and more. Brother Phap Huu emphasizes the importance of deep listening, humility, and direct experience in the transmission process, and how true transmission goes beyond the imparting of knowledge, to a requirement that both teacher and student be in a state of non-self and openness to receive the teachings.

It doesn’t start with us, doesn’t end with us. Instead, we are part of this extraordinary flow of life.” “Listening is the first doorway to communication. And many of us think that communication is about speaking or writing. But the foundation for speaking and for writing is listening.” “When the Buddha embarked on a spiritual quest, he was looking for an understanding of suffering and a liberation from suffering. And the way of liberation from suffering is to be in suffering, to understand suffering, to embrace it and not run away from it, but transform it. Therefore, Buddhism is a way of life. So mindfulness is a way of life. Transmission is a way of life.” “When you hear the sound of the bell in the Plum Village tradition, you’re invited to pause and stop what you're doing. Even if you’re listening to music, or having a wonderful, insightful conversation, you are invited to pause, to stop. And that stopping is a transmission of knowing how to cultivate stillness in life, in order to listen.” “What we say, how we say it, and the tone of saying it creates a reality. That creates a transmission of knowledge, a transmission of feelings, a transmission of energy.” “Buddhism is a very generous tradition. The Buddha offers, the teachers offer – and you’re the receiver. You can receive. Using the language of ‘I am receiving' is very different from ‘I am taking.' Or, even worse, ‘I am stealing.' Because stealing indicates that something is now yours; it belongs to you. But when you receive, you gain a responsibility to transmit.” “To receive, we have to ask.”

This episode focuses on the mental factors of compassion (karuna) and sympathetic joy (mudita).YouTube Video LinkYouTube Channel Link Website:www.satipatthana.caDonations and Memberships

La concentration repose sur une capacité fondamentale de notre cerveau : filtrer les informations. À chaque instant, nos sens reçoivent des centaines de signaux – sons, images, odeurs… Mais pour rester attentif à une tâche, le cerveau doit opérer un tri sélectif entre ce qui est pertinent et ce qui ne l'est pas. C'est justement ce mécanisme qu'explique une étude de 2015 menée par des chercheurs de l'Institut de neurosciences de l'université de New York, qui ont identifié un acteur clé : le noyau réticulé thalamique, ou NRT.Le NRT est une structure en forme d'anneau située autour du thalamus, lui-même au centre du cerveau. Il agit comme un commutateur attentionnel. Concrètement, lorsque nous dirigeons notre attention vers un stimulus (par exemple un texte à lire), les neurones du NRT réduisent l'intensité des signaux sensoriels concurrents – comme les bruits ambiants, les mouvements visuels ou même les sensations tactiles. C'est ce qu'on appelle la sélection attentionnelle.L'étude, publiée dans Nature Neuroscience, a montré que ces neurones inhibiteurs du NRT peuvent désactiver temporairement certaines voies sensorielles au profit d'autres. Ainsi, lorsque vous vous concentrez sur la lecture, le NRT limite le traitement des sons ou des images parasites. Mais ce filtrage a ses limites. Si un bruit soudain ou inhabituel surgit – comme une voix forte ou une porte qui claque – le NRT réoriente l'attention vers cette nouvelle source, même si elle est sans intérêt. C'est un mécanisme de vigilance automatique, hérité de l'évolution, destiné à détecter les dangers.Autrement dit, le bruit capte l'attention non pas parce qu'il est pertinent, mais parce qu'il rompt l'équilibre sensoriel imposé par le NRT. Plus le bruit est irrégulier, imprévisible ou porteur d'information (comme une conversation), plus il sollicite le système attentionnel… au détriment de la tâche en cours.Cette redirection constante de l'attention a un coût : chaque interruption impose au cerveau un "temps de réinitialisation" de plusieurs secondes, durant lequel la performance cognitive chute. Ce phénomène s'appelle le coût de rebasculage attentionnel.En résumé, le bruit est néfaste à la concentration car il court-circuite le système de filtrage du cerveau, piloté par le noyau réticulé thalamique. Il force le cerveau à jongler entre les sources sensorielles, réduisant ainsi notre efficacité, notre mémoire de travail, et notre capacité à accomplir des tâches complexes. Hébergé par Acast.

In this episode of Beer and Money, Ryan Burklo and Alex Collins discuss the three most common portfolio mistakes they encounter with clients. They emphasize the importance of understanding asset classes, avoiding over-concentration in US large stocks, and ensuring proper diversification to mitigate risks. The conversation highlights the significance of a balanced investment strategy and the need for clients to be aware of their portfolio's composition and associated risks. Check out our website:  beerandmoney.net For a quick assessment of your current financial life go to: https://www.livingbalancesheet.com/lbsVision/lite/RyanBurklo Takeaways Clients often over-concentrate their investments in US large stocks. Many investors are unaware of the overlap in their mutual funds. Diversification is essential to manage risk effectively. Understanding asset classes can lead to better investment decisions. Investing should not be based solely on past performance. Proper portfolio construction can enhance returns without increasing risk. Clients often do not realize the risks associated with their portfolios. The S&P 500 is heavily influenced by a few large tech companies. Investors should look forward, not just at past performance. A balanced portfolio is crucial for long-term success.

Tim Quast discusses why stocks could struggle to sustain a broadening rally beyond the largest names, such as those in the S&P 500. He says less than 10% of trading volume comes from fundamental stock picking, while models and high-frequency traders drive around 75% of volume. With 90% of assets concentrated in large caps and only 5% in the Russell 2000, Quast believes it's mathematically unlikely for the market to sustain a meaningful shift into smaller stocks.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

When preparing for fundraising or an exit to private equity, one overlooked metric can derail your deal: customer concentration risk. In episode #308, Ben Murray explains what customer concentration is, why it matters to investors, and how it can directly impact your SaaS valuation. If too much of your revenue comes from just one or two customers, that risk may scare off private equity buyers or lower your valuation. Ben breaks down how to measure concentration, when it becomes a problem, and why you should start planning now — long before you enter a due diligence process.What You'll Learn• What customer concentration is and how to calculate it.• Why concentration risk is a key investor metric in fundraising and exit planning.• How high concentration can lower a company's valuation.• The difference between strategic buyers and private equity when assessing risk.• Why SaaS operators must monitor revenue mix as part of long-term financial strategy.Why It Matters• Finance & fundraising impact: High concentration can reduce your chances of raising capital or exiting at a premium.• Valuation risk: Heavy reliance on a small number of customers lowers buyer confidence.• Investor confidence: PE firms and strategic buyers want diversified, predictable revenue streams.Resources MentionedSaaS Metrics for Investors – What Drives Valuation: https://www.thesaasacademy.com/the-saas-metrics-foundationQuote from Ben“If one customer makes up 25% of revenue, that's a huge risk to a buyer — especially in private equity.”
