HRV. VO2 max. Resting heart rate. Zone 2. Wearables have given us more data than ever… but do you know how to use it to inform your training?In this episode of the Ready State Podcast, Kelly and Juliet Starrett sit down with renowned strength and conditioning coach Joel Jamieson to cut through the noise around cardiovascular fitness, recovery, and resilience. Drawing on more than 25 years of experience coaching UFC champions, Olympic athletes, special operators, and professional sports teams, Joel explains why a higher HRV isn't always “better,” what Zone 2 training is really trying to accomplish, and why your aerobic engine matters even if endurance sports aren't your thing.They also explore how to balance low, moderate, and high-intensity training, practical ways to measure whether your conditioning is actually improving, and why stress outside the gym has to factor into how you train. The takeaway? Better fitness isn't about chasing a perfect score – but about understanding what your body can handle, how well it recovers, and how to train accordingly.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy a higher HRV doesn't always mean you're better recoveredWhat Zone 2 training is actually trying to accomplishWhy cardiovascular fitness is important for improving resilienceHow to balance low, moderate, & high-intensity conditioningWhy stress outside the gym should influence how you trainKey Highlights: (00:00) Intro: Joel Jamieson on HRV & Conditioning(03:33) The HRV Problem for Midlife Athletes(05:13) What Is HRV?(09:41) The Evolution of HRV Tracking(13:32) What's a Good HRV?(16:18) Morning vs Overnight HRV(20:49) Why Higher HRV Isn't Always Better(24:00) HRV, Resting Heart Rate, & Heart Rate Recovery(26:50) Chest Strap vs Wrist-Based HRV(29:33) How to Improve Your HRV(34:10) How Fast Cardiovascular Fitness Declines(37:53) Training Intensity Zones Explained(43:30) Low, Moderate, & High Intensity Training(45:59) Why Low-Intensity Training Builds VO2 Max(48:33) Is VO2 Max Testing Worth It?(51:04) The Cooper's Test(55:09) How Fast Can Conditioning Improve?(59:55) Team Athletes & Recovery(1:01:46) Life Stress, HRV, & Training(1:04:00) Lifestyle Sets Your Gym Limits(1:05:21) Infinite ShelfHuge thanks to our sponsors,Momentous, LMNT, and BEDGEAR.

https://teachhoops.com/ Coaches spend October on the players. Conditioning, open gyms, skill work, the schedule, the gear order. Then they walk into November assuming the three or four adults on the bench are on the same page. In this episode Coach Collins argues that assumption is where a lot of seasons quietly go wrong, and that staff alignment is something you have to build on purpose before the first practice. The test he offers is simple. Could each of your assistants, tonight, tell you the same three things your program is about? If the answer is no, your players already know it. Kids figure out staff division about nine days into a season. The episode walks through how that division shows up in a gym. A player told to help down by one coach and stay home by another, so he stands still. A kid you just corrected hard, quietly told by an assistant not to worry about you because you are in a mood. A parent who calls a specific assistant because everybody in town knows which coach is the soft landing. None of that is a loyalty problem. Most assistants are good people trying to help. It is an alignment problem, and alignment does not happen by accident. Coach Collins then lays out the preseason staff meeting he wants every head coach to run. Two hours, no phones, somewhere that is not the gym. It starts with a question rather than a speech: what are we actually about this year? He is candid that he got this wrong for years by walking in and announcing the vision, which is not alignment, it is a memo. People do not defend a plan they had no hand in building. The meeting produces three specific things. Three non negotiables chosen together, not twelve, because assistants who helped pick them will enforce them when the head coach is not looking. A real job for every coach, not a title, because an assistant with no ownership becomes a spectator and eventually a critic. And a stated rule for how to disagree with the head coach, because if you never tell a coach how to push back on you, he will do it sideways, to a parent or a player or in the parking lot. The episode adds one more step most head coaches skip: ask each assistant what he wants out of this season for himself, because developing a future head coach and developing a lifelong assistant are not the same job. The takeaway is uncomfortable and clarifying at the same time. Your team will never be more unified than your staff is, so build the bench before you build the roster.

This Day in Legal History: Congress Creates the U.S. ArmyOn September 29, 1789—the very last day of the First Congress's inaugural session—the House and Senate passed the act that formally established the United States Army under the new Constitution. President Washington had pressed hard for it, reminding Congress that the militia provisions inherited from the Articles of Confederation were inadequate and that the nation needed a standing military establishment placed on a proper constitutional footing.The legal significance lies less in the creation of a fighting force than in how that force was subordinated. The Constitution had already divided military power deliberately: Congress alone can raise and fund armies and declare war, while the President serves as Commander-in-Chief. The 1789 Act operationalized that division, embedding the bedrock American principle of civilian control of the military—that the armed forces answer to elected civilian authority and operate within, not above, the rule of law. The Framers were deeply wary of standing armies and concentrated power; their answer was not to forbid a military, but to fracture control over it between the branches so no single actor could wield it unchecked.The significance of September 29, 1789 is that principle—power channeled through congressional authorization and constitutional limits rather than executive will alone. And that is precisely the thread running through our lead story today: a dispute over whether the executive branch can wield federal money as a lever to force its policy preferences on the states, or whether it may only do what Congress has actually authorized. The names change over 237 years; the fundamental question—who gets to exercise power, and with whose permission—does not.A federal judge has blocked the administration from tying federal counterterrorism grants to whether states adopt its preferred election-administration changes—the latest in a long string of election-related defeats we've tracked this month. Here's what the administration did: the Department of Homeland Security announced it would withhold 20% of funding under grant programs meant to help state and local governments prepare for terrorist attacks and other threats, unless those governments adopted election measures the administration favored. U.S. District Judge Amir Ali, in a 24-page opinion, sided with counties and cities in Texas, Ohio, and Tennessee that sued, holding that federal agencies simply lacked authority from Congress to attach those conditions to the grants. Let me put this in its constitutional frame, because it's a classic. The federal government routinely attaches strings to the money it gives states—that's the spending power, and it's legitimate within limits. But the Supreme Court set boundaries in cases like South Dakota v. Dole and, more forcefully, in the NFIB v. Sebelius healthcare decision: conditions must be clearly stated, must relate to the purpose of the funding, and can't be so coercive that they amount to a “gun to the head.” Conditioning anti-terrorism preparedness money on unrelated election changes runs into two of those problems at once—the germaneness requirement, since election administration has nothing to do with counterterrorism, and the basic separation-of-powers point that an agency can't invent conditions Congress never authorized. That last point is what Judge Ali hung his ruling on, and it's the same principle that decided the homelessness and mail-ballot cases: agencies have only the power Congress gives them. The significance is that this is now a consistent, rulings-deep pattern—court after court telling the executive it cannot use funding leverage, or agency fiat, to seize control over how states run their elections. On the anniversary of a law about channeling power through congressional authorization, it's a fitting rebuke.Judge blocks Trump from tying anti-terrorism grants to election changes | Reuters · PBS News · US NewsIn a notable reversal, Justice Samuel Alito has recused himself from a major climate-change case the Supreme Court is set to hear next week—and the move opens up real questions about both judicial ethics and the case's outcome. The case involves Boulder, Colorado, and its county, which sued Exxon Mobil and Suncor Energy seeking damages for the local harms of climate change; it's set for argument October 5. Environmental groups had pushed for Alito to step aside because he owns stock in oil-and-gas companies—ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66, among others—that, while not parties to this particular suit, plainly have interests riding on how the Court treats climate liability. Here's why the reversal is striking. Back in May, a Court spokeswoman said Alito would not recuse, on the theory that he had no financial interest in any actual party to the case. Now he's stepping aside anyway. This goes to the heart of the judicial-ethics debate that has dogged the Court: federal law, 28 U.S.C. § 455, requires a judge to disqualify when their impartiality might reasonably be questioned or when they have a financial interest in the subject matter in controversy—and Supreme Court justices, unlike lower-court judges, have historically decided their own recusal questions with no review and little explanation. Alito's flip suggests the pressure and scrutiny over the Court's ethics, which produced its first-ever formal code of conduct in 2023, is having an effect. And there's a concrete consequence: with only eight justices participating, the case could end in a 4-4 tie—which would leave the lower-court ruling in place without setting any national precedent. The significance is that it's a small but real sign of the Court responding to ethics scrutiny, and a reminder that in the climate-liability wars, procedural moves like a single recusal can matter as much as the merits.US Supreme Court's Alito won't participate in climate case involving oil companies | Reuters · CNBC · NBC NewsAnd finally, Florida has asked a court to bar OpenAI from developing new AI models without outside oversight—an extraordinary requested remedy that, if granted, would be one of the most aggressive judicial interventions into AI development we've seen. This is part of a lawsuit Florida's attorney general, James Uthmeier, filed in June, accusing OpenAI of misrepresenting ChatGPT's safety and of harming children—the complaint alleges the platform provided information to school shooters, offered guidance on self-harm, and was designed to addict young users. In Monday's filing, Florida escalated the requested relief dramatically: it asked the court to prohibit OpenAI from developing new models without external oversight, to order the company to keep minors off ChatGPT entirely, and to bar it from giving the chatbot “human attributes.” Let me unpack why that's such a big ask. Courts issue injunctions all the time, but a prohibitory injunction against building new products—essentially putting a court-supervised brake on a technology company's core R&D—is a remarkable expansion of the injunctive remedies we've discussed in the teen-harms cases. It raises hard questions about how far a court's equitable power can reach into ongoing innovation, and whether such sweeping prior restraint on development is even administrable. Notably, OpenAI says it has already paused training its most capable models and won't resume until additional safeguards are in place—which both undercuts the urgency Florida claims and signals the company sees the writing on the wall. Florida is the first state AG to sue OpenAI over harms to young users, though the company faces individual and family suits too, including ones tied to self-harm. And this connects to a huge thread we've followed all month—the Harvey guardrails acquisition, the ChatGPT-fabricated testimony, California's Adam's Law. The significance is that the legal system is now being asked not just to punish AI harms after the fact, but to preemptively supervise how these models get built—a genuine frontier for the law, and one courts will approach with real caution.Florida asks court to bar OpenAI from developing new models as part of child harm lawsuit | Reuters · US News · Lawyer Monthly This is a public episode.

The Pleasure Zone with Milica Jelenic - Diamond Host How niche is your kink? Kink can be deeply personal, and what turns one person on may be completely outside another person's erotic world. But what makes a kink a niche kink? Why do some desires become common, while others remain highly specific, private, or misunderstood? In this episode, we explore niche desires, niche fantasies, and the psychology behind a kink that may feel uniquely yours. We'll look at how kink develops, why certain kinks become part of our erotic identity, and what happens when your desires don't fit the mainstream. Key points we will explore: What makes a kink niche? Where do niche kinks come from? The psychology of “Why does this turn me nn?” When your kink feels too different Exploring kink safely and consciously 5 Key Takeaways A fantasy can remain a private mental experience and does not necessarily represent something a person wants to pursue in real life. Sexual interests exist on a spectrum, from occasional fantasies and community-based kinks to highly specific scenarios that may feel essential for arousal. Conditioning, repeated experiences, personal history, trauma, unmet needs and cultural taboos can all influence how particular erotic interests develop. Exploring why something feels arousing may support self-understanding and healing without necessarily causing the interest itself to disappear. Any real-world exploration requires consenting adults, honest communication, clear boundaries, stated limits and agreed-upon safety practices.

What's up everyone, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Christina Garnett, Fractional Chief Customer and Communications Officer at Neuemotion.(00:00) - audio-Christina (01:19) - In This Episode (05:37) - Why Your Tech Stack Cannot Fix Siloed Customer Teams (11:10) - Why Getting the Name Right No Longer Counts as Personalization (18:08) - Why A/B Testing Programs Ignore Qualitative Customer Data (24:14) - How Brands Build Core Memories Customers Cannot Buy (29:55) - How B2B Brands Build Core Memories Without a Budget (35:46) - What to Do When Transactional, Behavioral and Feedback Data Disagree (42:12) - Why Spotify Wrapped Works and What Gen AI Took Away (49:17) - Why Personalization Feels Predatory Even When You Have Consent (53:58) - Where Influence Ends and Manipulation Starts in Marketing (58:57) - Why Audiences Are Going Back to the Humanities in the AI Era Summary: Christina spent 5 years teaching math before she ever wrote a subject line, and it shows in how ruthlessly she takes apart the personalization playbook. Getting someone's first name right used to be impressive and now it just proves you didn't get fired, which leaves marketers chasing hooks and tricks while customers quietly learn to read the pattern. She makes the case for core memories a brand cannot buy, walks through what actually happened when Spotify Wrapped got the AI treatment, and introduces earned context, the idea that having someone's data and having the right to use it are 2 completely different things. Along the way she calls CX and brand the same job, refuses to bet her life on NPS, and explains why the B2B move nobody is making costs almost nothing. If you have ever shipped a perfectly segmented campaign that landed with a thud, this one will tell you why.About Christina GarnettChristina Garnett is a fractional Chief Customer and Communications Officer at Neuemotion and the founder and principal at Pocket CCO, where she builds customer trust systems for agencies and SaaS companies. She's the author of Transforming Customer-Brand Relationships, which won the Independent Press Award and the International Impact Book Award and was a Foreword INDIES finalist, and she's currently writing a second book built on the Customer Trust Equation she created.Before going independent she built customer advocacy at HubSpot, growing the HubFans program from 0 to 37,000 members and more than 4,000 active advocates, and she led social and customer strategy at global scale through ICUC. She's a contributing writer at Campaign US, was previously a byline at Adweek, and she started her career as a teacher.Why Your Tech Stack Cannot Fix Siloed Customer TeamsEvery few years a software category shows up promising to end the silo problem. The CRM was going to do it. Then the customer data platform. Then the customer 360, the composable stack, and whatever the warehouse-native vendors are calling it this quarter. Marketing, support, social, and CX all get wired into the same tables, and everyone assumes shared data will produce shared behavior. Buy the integration, get the alignment.Christina has been on enough of those teams to know how that ends.She came into marketing sideways, an English major who taught math for 5 years, including a stretch at a school built for kids with learning differences where she trained in the Orton-Gillingham method. That method exists to move information from short-term into long-term memory. Marketers have a word for the same thing and call it brand recall. Her husband told her early on that she should go into advertising because she couldn't watch an ad without rebuilding it in her head, tweaking the copy, cutting the music, fixing whatever was broken. She went and took every course, read every book, and kept the teacher's instinct the whole way through: make the hard thing make sense, find the right words for the room you're in.Then she sat at basically every table that claims part of the customer, working as a social listening strategist, a social media creator and a social media strategist, and putting time into support, CX, community and advocacy. What she kept finding was the same organizational failure repeating under different logos, and no amount of shared tooling moved it.Here's the argument that runs under her whole book. Nobody is solving customer experience alone, because nobody is the only person reaching the customer. Support talks to them, so support gets blamed for the relationship. But your UX team is shaping what the customer can and can't do, whether they think of that as CX work or not. Your legal team is writing the fine print the customer reads at the worst possible moment. Finance sets the refund window. All of it builds the relationship, and most of it never appears on anyone's CX dashboard.The result is a company that's genuinely excellent in one place and quietly hostile in another, and it shows.That's why the material became a book rather than a framework or a course. A framework asks you to already agree with its premise before you'll use it. Christina wanted the thing she'd been hunting for on shelves and never found, written for the people at all of those different tables at once. Her words on it: "I think we all wind up writing the books that we wish already existed." The structure follows the problem in 3 moves:Every moving piece that actually builds a brand relationship, most of which sits outside the CX team., Community as the silo killer, the thing that finally forces those teams into the same room., What happens when something lands that you had no way of seeing. A brand crisis, an acquisition by a company your customers hate, or AI arriving and throwing the whole operating model in the air.That third one is where most companies are living right now, and it's the least rehearsed. The martech buying cycle keeps funding integration projects because integration is something you can purchase, and cross-functional accountability is something you have to negotiate. Until one person owns the customer relationship end to end on paper, a new platform just gives 4 teams a shared place to file work they still refuse to coordinate.Key takeaway: List every team that shapes your customer's experience, including the ones that never speak to a customer. Legal writes the cancellation language, UX decides how buried the downgrade button is, finance sets the refund window, and none of them get counted. Put all of them on one page and mark who currently owns the customer's experience of each moment. The blanks are your real CX roadmap, and no platform purchase will fill them in for you.Why Getting the Name Right No Longer Counts as PersonalizationAccuracy in a lifecycle program has never been cheaper. You can segment by behavior, by lifecycle stage, by predicted churn, by what someone hovered over last Tuesday, and the tooling will do all of it on a mid-tier plan. Ask a marketer whether their email is personalized and they'll show you the merge fields and the branching logic and say yes.Ask the person receiving it and you get a different answer. Christina's position is that martech made accuracy so cheap that creativity started to look like a nice-to-have, and customers noticed long before marketers did.Her frame for the whole industry is the Jeff Goldblum line from Jurassic Park, the one about scientists so preoccupied with whether they could that they never stopped to ask whether they should. We're living inside that meme, she says, running on a lot of we could so we can. And the cost shows up somewhere marketers rarely look, which is in what we've trained people to expect.Conditioning is real, and it doesn't require a marketing degree. Somebody w...

Join Rob McConnell as he welcomes Richard De Rose for a provocative examination of brainwashing, persuasion, social conditioning and the forces that can influence the way people think and behave. The 'X' Zone historical guest directory confirms De Rose's appearance under the intriguing title “Brainwashed...Are You?” What does it actually mean to be brainwashed? The word often brings to mind cults, interrogations and extreme psychological manipulation, but influence can take much subtler forms. Advertising, political messaging, peer pressure, authority figures, repetition, fear and selective exposure to information can all affect attitudes and decisions. The important distinction is between ordinary persuasion—which is part of everyday human interaction—and coercive methods intended to undermine a person's independence and critical judgment. During this conversation, Rob and Richard explore how beliefs are created, reinforced and sometimes manipulated. Why do people accept certain claims without demanding evidence? What happens when the same message is repeated often enough? Why can belonging to a group become more important than questioning what that group believes? And how can fear, isolation, emotional pressure or charismatic leadership make people more susceptible to manipulation? Join Rob McConnell and Richard De Rose on The 'X' Zone Radio Show for a thought-provoking journey into persuasion, conformity and independent thinking.

Mikael Eriksson and Jack Hutchens answer listener questions, starting with a long look at how to fit a marathon into a triathlon year: when to do it, how much running it takes, what happens to the swim and the bike, and how far the long run really should be. Then questions on racing a 70.3 inside a base phase, coming back from overtraining syndrome, and whether you have to dig a hole to get supercompensation.We do listener Q&As monthly, the last Thursday every month.HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS:Where a marathon fits in a triathlon year, autumn against spring, and the one situation where the less obvious option is the right call.Setting run mileage when you are also swimming and biking. Why the starting point is your own running history rather than a plan chosen by goal time, and what is wrong with how most marathon plans are built.A pro triathlete with a 60-minute record of 400 W at 78 kg asks why a 2:30 marathon still feels far away. What VO2max and fractional utilisation leave as the only possible explanation, and what can and cannot be changed about it.Long run distance against total volume, and the main point of disagreement between Mikael and Jack for this episode. Plus how far the longest long run should go, banded by goal time from a first marathon through to sub-2:30.Quads as the limiter in the marathon, from a listener with a 1:17 half and a 3:01 Ironman marathon. Conditioning, cadence, shoe drop and fuelling, and which of those actually matters.Racing a 70.3 in the middle of a base phase. The question to answer before you decide, and where Mikael and Jack come down differently on treating a race as a training day.Returning to training after overtraining syndrome. What to monitor on the way back, why HRV gets less weight here than you might expect, and the case study of a world-class skier who came back from underperformance to the top.Whether supercompensation requires digging a hole. Thirty-three trained triathletes, a three-week overload block into a four-week taper, and what separated the group that gained the most from the group that spent the study getting sick.SHOWNOTES, LINKS, RESOURCES AND RELATED EPISODES:That Triathlon Show Community on ROUVYThat Triatlon Show Group Ride on ROUVY - 5 October, 18:00 CET (12pm ET, 9am PT), 25 km / 15.5 miles on the Kona bike course.

Two Retirements. Two Incredible Careers.This week on Control the Controllables, we're marking the retirement of Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury, two of the finest doubles players of their generation and two of the most generous guests we´ve had on the show.Between them: 6 major titles each. 4 men's doubles crowns together, including the Australian Open in 2020 and that remarkable US Open three-peat in 2021, 2022 and 2023. Joe became only the second British man ever to reach World Number 1, holding the position for 23 weeks. Rajeev picked up two Olympic silver medals, 32 ATP titles, 9 Masters titles.Then this year, with barely any matches between them, they made the US Open semi-finals from nowhere. Form is temporary. Class is permanent.We've gone back into the archives to pull out the moments from their episodes that we think every player, coach and parent should hear.In this episode:Joe on the gap between belief and confidence, and why the two are not the same thingRajeev on walking away from singles at 56 in the world to become a doubles specialistFollowing your heart when the decision is genuinely difficult, from college to retirementWhy 11 partners in one year is the hardest way to build a careerWhat Rajeev saw in Joe before anyone else didJoe on what he wants his legacy in British tennis to beDan's challenge to British tennis: what happens when the Louis Cayer era ends?The Rajeev Ram Instagram post that everyone in this sport should readListen to Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury´s full episodes on CTC: Rajeev Ram - Multiple Grand Slam ChampionJoe Salisbury - Double US Open Champion!Links Mentioned in this Episode:Follow CTC on InstagramTennis Athlete - Online Strength & Conditioning for Performance PlayersSotoTennis Academy

Reclaiming the Real Self with Pratiqk JaaniWATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE HERE https://youtu.be/M2sGh0c19ag?si=NLUpJ3odNYAKYipeWhat if the fulfillment you have been searching for was never outside of you? In Episode 186 of the Power & Purpose Podcast, I sit down with Pratiqk Jaani for a deep conversation about perception, fear, identity, conditioning, and the real self. We explore why we can continue searching for more money, success, love, recognition, and achievement without experiencing lasting fulfillment, how fear and emotional reactions can be learned through conditioning, and what becomes possible when we begin operating from wholeness and reconnecting with the part of ourselves that was there before the programming.TIMESTAMPS00:00 Episode Preview01:09 Meet Pratiqk Jaani02:27 Who Are You Without Your Conditioning?04:38 Can Fear Actually Be Unlearned?07:25 Facing Fear and the Worst Case Scenario11:00 How Conditioning Shapes Our Reactions13:39 Replacing Fear With Awareness, Discernment and Intuition18:32 Why Achievement Does Not Create Lasting Fulfillment20:09 Moving From Lack to Wholeness22:35 Inside the Drushti Method and the Identity Shift25:52 When Life Starts Happening Through You28:01 Becoming the Observer and Experiencing the Real Self33:32 How to Work With Pratiqk34:31 Do Not Believe, Only ExperienceCONNECT WITH PRATIQK JAANI Websites: pratiqkjaani.com | dhrastimethod.comConnect with Vanessa Soul Website https://vanessasoul.com/theempireInstagram https://www.instagram.com/vanessaasoul/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/vanessa.spiva.9Podcast https://podcast.ausha.co/power-and-purpose-podcastHosted on Ausha.

In this episode, Alissa revists the topic of good girl conditioning and why so many highly sensitive women build an entire identity around being the responsible one, the kind one, the person who never rocks the boat. She looks at what happens when agreeableness stops being a natural expression of your sensitivity and starts becoming a way of abandoning yourself to keep everyone else comfortable.The traits themselves are often innate, but the problem is when they are expressed at the cost of self-abandonment. Alissa names the fear sitting underneath it all: the fear of shining too brightly and being disliked for it.Through her own story of a work friendship that went cold the moment she got promoted, and the clients she has watched give themselves permission to take up space, she walks through what it looks like to expand your tolerance for discomfort and stop managing everyone else's reaction to you. In this episode, you'll learn:Why being the responsible, easygoing one can quietly turn into abandoning your own needsHow the fear of shining too brightly keeps so many highly sensitive women playing smallWhat it means that other people benefit from you never setting a boundary or speaking upWhy stepping out of the good girl identity almost always brings pushback, and how to be okay with thatHow to hold the guilt of someone being upset and still trust that you did the right thingWhy giving people the dignity of their own reactions frees you from carrying everyoneSign up for Unshakable Interactions during presale for just $17!: https://www.sensitiveandsoulful.com/offers/DfoKpzEo/checkout?coupon_code=UIPRESALEUncover your sneaky internal belief that's stopping you from being your most confident self TAKE The FREE Shadow Archetype Quiz NOWLearn my 6-step process for managing & neutralizing your triggers as an HSP in our FREE UN-Botherable Workshop!Join the Not Too Sensitive Club

Host Laura Reeves sits down with renowned professional handler Diego Garcia for an inspiring conversation on the dedication, philosophy and heart required to succeed in the purebred dog sport. [caption id="attachment_17302" align="alignleft" width="194"] Diego Garcia in the early days.[/caption] From his beginnings in Argentina to learning under legendary dog men in the United States, Diego shares invaluable wisdom on physical muscle conditioning, the importance of mental connection in the ring, maintaining integrity and supporting the next generation of exhibitors. "The secret to success is always the longer way. It is not going to be easy, but when you go to bed and you took the longer way, you can look at yourself in the mirror." Key Highlights and Discussion Points Early Influences and Mentorship:Diego shares his journey from Argentina, where his parents began breeding Boxers in the early 1980s, to working in the United States for Michael Shepherd. He discusses how Shepherd instilled in him a structured, rigorous approach to dog care that shaped his entire career.Treating Show Dogs Like Royalty:Because dogs do not choose to compete on their own, Diego emphasizes that they deserve to be treated like royalty 24/7, with their needs always coming before anything else.Physical Conditioning on Soft Surfaces:Building proper muscle tone requires dedication and hard work. Diego advises handlers to run and exercise dogs on grass rather than pavement to protect their movement, feet and joints.[caption id="attachment_17303" align="alignright" width="207"]Garcia is well known for his contagious smile and passion for his dogs.[/caption]Mental Connection and Communication:True ring presence comes from a deep mental bond. Diego talks about the power of talking to your dogs on the table and in the ring, praising them so they feel like the absolute best version of themselves.Taking the Longer Way:True success and peace of mind come from taking the longer path of hard work, integrity and ethical handling. Diego stresses the importance of being a good loser, staying grateful for every placement and leaving negative talk behind.Reminiscing on Legends of the Sport:Diego and Laura reflect on iconic judges and mentors who shaped the sport, including Michelle Billings, Frank Sabella, Alberto Berrios, Annie Clark, Jean Fournier, Asa Mays, and beloved handler Kaz Hosaka.Handler Well-Being and Dog Show Yoga:Navigating ring stress, anxiety and the physical demands of handling. Diego shares how yoga and meditation helped him manage burnout, advocating for post-show relaxation sessions to help handlers reset.Passing the Torch to Youth:A call to action for experienced handlers and breeders to mentor owner-handlers and junior exhibitors, share grooming and handling tips freely, and lift up the community. [video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://puredogtalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Taking-the-Longer-Way_-Diego-Garcia-on-Integrity-and-Hard-Work.mp4"][/video]

RUGBY PHYSICAL PREPARATION AUDITGet the Rugby Muscle Training Week PlaybookJoin Team Rugby MuscleGet personalised 1on1 Coaching from me for S&CGet early access to the ALL-NEW 5-day Rugby Athlete BlueprintIn this episode, I explain why "training toughness" in rugby S&C is a massive mistake. Enduring brutal workouts doesn't build true mental grit it just sabotages the physical gains that actually improve your game. Because everyone hits physical limits, your training must focus on expanding raw capacity: strength, speed, power, and aerobic fitness. Raising your physical baseline lowers the relative effort of every match action, preserving the energy you need to execute skills and dominate the 80th minute. Build a deep "strength reserve" in the gym, and leave toughness practice for rugby itself.00:00 Why Toughness Is Overrated01:38 Capacity Beats Grit02:52 Key S&C Qualities04:51 Toughness Reserve Explained07:43 Momentum From Being Fit09:12 Military Training Myth11:27 Be Tough In Rugby12:29 Train Adaptations Not Pain13:45 Wrap Up And Next StepsSupport the show

By popular demand, this one's back. Sandra Elliott, Acrobatic Arts Principal and the eye behind our syllabus, joins Loren to answer a question every dance teacher needs to ask: are your dancers developing evenly on both sides? One sided training doesn't stay small. It builds into twisted bridges, unstable landings, and injuries that follow a dancer for life. Sandra breaks down how it happens and what to do about it, starting in your very next class. If you teach dance, don't miss this one. A full transcript of the podcast is available here: https://www.acrobaticarts.com/blog/ep-143-spotlight-series-balanced-development-with-sandra-elliottAbout Sandra With over 35 years teaching experience, Sandra has also been enjoying her role as a course conductor and examiner with Acrobatic Arts since its inception in 2012. She assisted in developing the Module 1 Teacher's Certification Course. In addition, she developed the Graduate Student Teacher's Certification course, the Adjudicator Certification for AcroDance course and the Pin Examiner Certification course. Sandra is currently the Principal of Acrobatic Arts responsible for administering aspects of different courses along with ongoing training of new and existing examiners with the company. Sandra is a registered teacher with the Royal Academy of Dance and has her Bachelor of Education Degree, with a major in dance. Throughout her teaching career, she has successfully prepared students for all levels of RAD exams. One of her students achieved her Royal Academy of Dance Solo Seal while another student participated in the RAD's Margot Fonteyn International Ballet Competition (formerly ‘The Genee') who later became a member of the Citie Ballet Company as well as Ballet Kelowna. Sandra has also been closely involved in the training of many students who have gone on to dance in professional shows including The Music Man (Broadway), Radio City Music Hall Rockettes, Movin' Out (Canadian Tour), Cirque Du Soleil (Las Vegas), So You Think You Can Dance Canada, Celine Dion and Taylor Swift. One of those students was the 2013 winner of UK's Got To Dance and a competitor in World of Dance Season 2. He is currently running his own contemporary company ‘Untitled' out of the UK. Sandra's choreography has won many overall, title and choreography awards. She is passionate about not only developing artistic dancers that have excellent technique but she also loves helping dancers to understand how the things they learn in dance can translate into their personal lives helping them to push themselves to be the best they can be.

Are you an overachieving sales leader, director, or enterprise tech executive feeling trapped by the assumption that your only choices are grinding up the rigid corporate ladder or risking everything by walking away? In this thought-provoking solo episode, host Billy Keels explores the profound lessons hidden inside Rick Rubin's book The Creative Act: A Way of Being, drawing a direct parallel between modern career design and the legendary board game Go, a game played for over 3,000 years. Billy breaks down the famous "Move 37" executed by DeepMind's AlphaGo artificial intelligence, a move so unprecedented that it shocked the world's greatest master because it completely ignored 30 centuries of human limiting beliefs. Discover how adopting a true beginner's mind (innocent ignorance) allows you to strip away standard corporate conditioning, break free from conventional linear promotion steps, and execute your own "Move C," allowing you to continuously overperform in your corporate role while simultaneously building a high-impact, independent side venture that puts you in complete control of your time and income.

Send us Fan MailWhat does it take to develop 350–400 collegiate athletes across 25 teams? In this episode of the Voodoo Power Podcast, Steven sits down with Steve Barrick, Associate Athletic Director for Sports Performance at the University of Indianapolis, to discuss strength and conditioning, athlete development, coaching philosophy, Olympic weightlifting, and velocity-based training.Steve Barrick has spent years developing athletes and building a strength and conditioning system that combines Olympic weightlifting, traditional strength training, power development, and velocity-based training (VBT).Steve shares his journey into coaching, including the moment he realized that pursuing a career simply for money wasn't enough. He explains why passion for coaching, building relationships with athletes, and continually learning from other coaches have been central to his career.The conversation dives deep into how he manages a large collegiate strength and conditioning program while still addressing the individual needs of athletes.Topics covered in this episode include:• Strength and conditioning at the University of Indianapolis• Steve Barrick's coaching philosophy and career journey• Training 350–400 athletes across approximately 25 teams• Velocity-Based Training (VBT)• Using VBT for squats, bench press, and clean pulls• Olympic weightlifting for athletic development• Teaching the clean and developing proper technique• High-bar Olympic back squats and front squats• Clean pulls and clean deadlifts• RDLs, reverse hypers, Nordics, and single-leg training• Eccentric, isometric, and concentric training• Periodization and adapting training to individual athletes• Bar speed and power development• Strength versus speed and explosiveness• Developing a coach's eye while using technology and performance data• Building relationships with athletes• Creating a strong team culture and family atmosphere• Recruiting and retaining athletes at a private Division II university• The impact of the transfer portal on college athletics• Learning from other strength and conditioning coaches• Visiting other facilities and stealing good ideas• Adapting training systems to different athletes and sportsSteve also discusses his evolution from powerlifting toward Olympic weightlifting and how that transition influenced the way he trains athletes today.One of the biggest themes of the conversation is adaptability. A successful strength and conditioning system isn't about blindly copying another coach. It's about understanding your athletes, identifying weaknesses, developing the qualities that matter for their sport, and continually improving the system.Steven and Steve also discuss a new idea for Voodoo Power: “On the Road with Voodoo Power.” The goal is to visit strength and conditioning facilities around the country—from garage gyms to universities—and highlight the coaches and athletes doing the work every day.If you're interested in strength and conditioning, sports performance, Olympic lifting, velocity-based training, collegiate athletics, power development, or athlete development, this episode is for you.Subscribe to Voodoo Power for more conversations with strength coaches, athletes, and performance professionals from across the country.#VoodooPower #SteveBarrick #StrengthAndConditioning #UniversityOfIndianapolis #VelocityBasedTraining #VBT #OlympicWeightlifting #AthleteDevelopment #SportsPerformance #StrengthTraining #CollegeStrengthAndConditioning #D2Athletics #PowerDevelopment #StrengthCoach #OlympicLiftinghttps://youtube.com/@platesandpancakes4593https://instagram.com/voodoo4power?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=https://voodoo4ranch.com/To possibly be a guest or support the show email Voodoo4ranch@gmail.comhttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/voodoo4ranch

In episode 436 of Everything Fastpitch, Coach Tory and Coach Don preview a show featuring fall college softball as a great time to watch games and practices in person, and name Columbus, Georgia as City of the Week. Tory apologizes for previously omitting Little League World Series player Carson Meyer while discussing Kenley Erasmus. A listener question sparks concern about gambling on the Little League Baseball World Series and about social media videos showing young kids' inappropriate football behavior and adults enabling it. The main interview features strength and conditioning coach Mike Kelly, who explains his background and his remote, individualized softball-focused training approach using assessments, technique feedback, and consistent programming to improve performance and reduce injury risk. The coaching tip argues that joining a big-name national travel-ball organization won't fix team problems without better coaching.Support the show

We take on the third leg of the strength series with Louie Simmons, Westside Barbell, and the conjugate method. Jerred lays out the actual structure, two max effort days and two dynamic effort days a week, why the max effort movement rotates every single session instead of repeating, how the three week dynamic effort waves are built, and what accommodating resistance with bands and chains is really doing to the strength curve. Then we get into the three principles worth stealing even if you never run the program: speed increases power and power increases strength, variance is fine so long as it is constantly rotating rather than constantly random, and athleticism has to be trained or you will quietly lose it. We also cover the honest cons, the steroid question, the recovery cost of going max effort twice a week, and why Jerred rates the conjugate system a one or two out of ten for the average athlete even though he has notebooks full of respect for the man who built it. Plus the story of Accelerate Strength and Conditioning, his conjugate program written for hybrid athletes, and where that might resurface.

Are you chasing happiness, success, or the "next thing" in life, only to find that the moment you reach it, you're still not truly fulfilled?After more than 20 years as a civil engineer, Sarah Collins realised that the version of success she had been pursuing wasn't actually what she wanted. Her journey through depression, overthinking, mindfulness, meditation, and self-inquiry helped her recognise how thought patterns and conditioning can shape the way we experience reality. In this conversation, she explores why we so often fight against the present moment, believe the stories our minds tell us, and postpone happiness until some future event.Learn how to create distance from your thoughts instead of automatically believing or following them.Discover simple ways to practise acceptance in everyday situations and reduce unnecessary emotional struggle.Understand why happiness isn't something you need to achieve in the future, and how fully experiencing every moment, including difficult emotions, can change the way you live.Play the episode to discover how noticing your thought patterns, accepting the present moment, and letting go of the constant pursuit of future happiness can help you stop fighting with life and start living it more fully.˚KEY POINTS AND TIMESTAMPS:01:09 - Meet Sarah Collins: From Civil Engineer to Life Coach02:41 - Redefining Success and Letting Go of Society's Expectations05:48 - Living with Depression, Overthinking, and Low Self-Worth07:02 - You Are Not Your Thoughts10:29 - The Stories We Believe About Ourselves12:33 - Practicing Acceptance: Start with the Small Things15:34 - Rethinking Happiness as a Present-Moment Experience22:38 - Self-Inquiry, Spiritual Teachers, and Finding Your Own Answers29:21 - Closing Thoughts, Where to Find Sarah, and Final Takeaways˚MEMORABLE QUOTE:"The more you notice those thought patterns, the more you notice how it's creating your reality—you stop fighting with life and start living."˚VALUABLE RESOURCES:Sarah's website: https://www.livingfullywithsarah.com/˚Coaching with Agi: https://personaldevelopmentmasterypodcast.com/mentor

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 8-27-2026: Preparing for extreme heat requires a few days of controlled hyperthermia to boost blood plasma volume and trigger heat shock protein production. Dr. Dawn cites research showing that daily 40-minute treadmill sessions in an 80-degree room followed by 40-minute hot baths for six days—or simply an hour daily in a 40°C bath for four days—produces 75-80% of full acclimatization before a heat-zone trip. Five red flags warrant an ER trip for abdominal pain: pain worsening with coughing or car bumps (peritonitis), lack of gas passage with nausea (bowel obstruction) especially with dark green bilious vomiting, yellowing whites of eyes (bile duct obstruction with sepsis risk), tarry black shiny stool (bleeding ulcer versus coffee-ground vomit), and dizziness with pain (possible leaking aortic aneurysm). Dr. Dawn urges any man who has smoked over 100 lifetime cigarettes to request the Medicare-covered abdominal ultrasound screening for aortic aneurysm, noting only 4% of eligible men currently receive it. Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) fill nearly half of disinfectants, surface sanitizers, and cleaning wipes, with use surging after 2016 FDA antimicrobial bans and the COVID pandemic. A 2023 Environmental Science and Technology review documented reproductive toxicity, hormone mimicking, dermal and respiratory irritation, and disruption of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Dr. Dawn recommends apple cider vinegar and water as a safe household cleaner and directs listeners to EWG.org for QAC-free product listings. A UK Biobank study of 65,000 people born in the 1940s-50s exploited WWII sugar rationing (eight ounces weekly through 1953) as a natural experiment. Those exposed to less sugar before age two had 20% lower dementia risk with 2.5-year delayed onset, and protection held even for those whose low-sugar exposure was purely in utero—underscoring the importance of avoiding added sugars in baby foods during the first 1,000 days. A Coast Guard rescuer's suicide following years of headaches and mood swings prompted his teenage daughter's high school survey of 77 surfmen, most of whom described the same TBI symptoms. Repeated boat impacts hitting waves at 6G at the deck translate to roughly 60G at the sailor's head—more violent than car crashes—prompting the Coast Guard's first official acknowledgment of the wave-pounding brain injury problem. Anopheles stephensi, a hardy South Asian malaria vector that thrives in urban environments and survives dry seasons, has spread from Djibouti (2012) through Yemen, Ethiopia, Sudan, and Kenya. Genomic analysis reveals distinct genetic clusters as it advances, all largely resistant to standard mosquito-control chemicals used in netting and sprays. Dr. Dawn ties this to broader arthropod-borne disease expansion in the U.S. from climate warming, and defends deer culling as tick-vector reduction. Dr. Dawn recommends the PREVENT calculator (using blood pressure, cholesterol, age, sex) as the starting point for coronary risk assessment. Coronary calcium scores are most useful for those in the borderline/intermediate range (3-9% ten-year risk)—a score above age-normal warrants reconsidering statin therapy—but add little value at high risk (where zero calcium doesn't rule out non-calcified plaque) or in older patients. An update on shingles vaccination and dementia: Geldsinger's 2025 Welsh natural-experiment study (exploiting birthday-based Shingrix rollout cutoffs) showed a 20% dementia reduction, since replicated in Canada, Australia, and Scotland. New Hebrew University data suggests giving Shingrix four weeks apart (Dr. Dawn cautions against this shortened interval) may stabilize cognition in existing Alzheimer's patients. The proposed mechanism involves boosting regulatory T-cells that dampen chronic neuroinflammation—also explaining why BCG (400% dementia reduction in bladder cancer patients) and flu vaccines show similar protective effects. An oral KRAS-inhibiting drug, daraxonrasib, doubled median survival in 500 patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer from about six months to 13.2 months by blocking proteins produced by the historically undruggable KRAS gene—the first major advance for a cancer where metastatic diagnosis has meant near-immediate death sentence.
