Everything is faster. Everything is easier. So why does it feel like everyone is more anxious, distracted, and exhausted than ever? This week, Shane takes a look at modern culture through the lens of performance, sobriety, and a healthy dose of sarcasm. From AI coworkers and wellness gadgets to dopamine addiction and convenience culture, we explore why we're optimizing everything except the things that actually matter. Has technology made us better... or just busier? If success is easier to access than ever before, why are so many people still stuck? This episode isn't about rejecting technology, it's about asking better questions, taking back your attention, and removing the distractions that quietly keep you from becoming the person you're capable of being. Because maybe the greatest performance hack isn't another app... Maybe it's learning to live with a little more intention. Episode Highlights: Why convenience may be making us weaker AI, productivity, and the illusion of having more time The billion-dollar wellness industry vs. real health Dopamine: the new performance drug Why alcohol isn't always the problem, the distraction is How to reclaim your focus and perform at your highest level ️ If you enjoyed this episode, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who's ready to stop optimizing everything except their own life.

Have you ever tried to have a perfectly logical conversation with your spouse, only to watch it instantly erupt into a screaming match or stone-cold silence? When communication breaks down, it's rarely about the topic itself—it's because your emotional cup is already full.In this episode of Married and Connected, host Kameran Alareqi sits down with Dr. David Marcus, a clinical psychologist with 40 years of experience navigating high-conflict family dynamics and custody cases. Together, they pull back the curtain on why couples wait an average of six years before seeking help—and why trying to resolve a conflict when your partner is “filled up” is like talking to a brick wall.Dr. Marcus breaks down his powerful framework of emotional communication and the three distinct levels of emotional intensity (The Here & Now, History, and Tapped-Into levels). You'll learn exactly how to stop playing roles born from childhood trauma, how your personal stress response impacts your kids, and how to become a soothing presence for your spouse when tension is at a level ten.If you feel like you've hit an insurmountable mountain in your relationship, or you are tired of the exhaustion that comes with the "here we go again" cycle, this episode is your blueprint to finding true emotional sobriety and deep connection.In This Episode, You'll Learn:The 11th-Hour Trap: Why couples wait years to get help, and why your "mountain" might actually be a molehill with the right strategy.What it Means to be "Filled Up": The psychological reality of inner emotional space and why logic fails when capacity is maxed out.The 3 Levels of Emptying Out: How to navigate from a simple chore (like taking out the garbage) to historical wounds and the deep "tapped-into" childhood triggers.The Soothing Presence Framework: How to be okay when your partner is not okay, without trying to become their therapist.The Generational Ripple Effect: How kids internalize parental tension, the true meaning of emotional resilience, and how avoiding high conflict prevents toxic childhood coping mechanisms (like pleasing or placating).Undue Influence vs. Alienation: Dr. Marcus's raw, blunt perspective from decades testifying in courtrooms, and how to protect the emotional sanity of your children.Resources Mentioned:Get Dr. David Marcus's Book: Pre-order/Find out more about Parent RX (Parent Prescription) and grab his step-by-step scripts and annotations at www.parentrx.org. You can consult directly with Dr. Marcus via email at dsmarcusphd@parentrx.org.Ready to stop the 11th-hour cycle in your own relationship?

Are you interested in how to adapt our natural systems to climate change? Debate of the article titled Facilitating adaptive forest management under climate change: A spatially specific synthesis of 125 species for habitat changes and assisted migration over the eastern United States from 2019, by Louis R. Iverson, Anantha M. Prasad, Matthew P. Peters, and Stephen N. Matthews, published in the MDPI Forests journal.This is a great preparation to our next interview with Jasen Johns in episode 448 talking about urban and community forestry. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how our natural systems, specifically forests in this case, can be prepared for climate change. This article synthesises two decades of research to provide a comprehensive framework for managing species under the changing climate.Find the article through this link.Abstract: We modeled and combined outputs for 125 tree species for the eastern United States, using habitat suitability and colonization potential models along with an evaluation of adaptation traits. These outputs allowed, for the first time, the compilation of tree species' current and future potential for each unit of 55 national forests and grasslands and 469 1 × 1 degree grids across the eastern United States. A habitat suitability model, a migration simulation model, and an assessment based on biological and disturbance factors were used with United States Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis data to evaluate species potential to migrate or infill naturally into suitable habitats over the next 100 years. We describe a suite of variables, by species, for each unique geographic unit, packaged as summary tables describing current abundance, potential future change in suitable habitat, adaptability, and capability to cope with the changing climate, and colonization likelihood over 100 years. This resulting synthesis and summation effort, culminating over two decades of work, provides a detailed data set that incorporates habitat quality, land cover, and dispersal potential, spatially constrained, for nearly all the tree species of the eastern United States. These tables and maps provide an estimate of potential species trends out 100 years, intended to deliver managers and publics with practical tools to reduce the vast set of decisions before them as they proactively manage tree species in the face of climate change.Connected episodes you might be interested in:No.392 - Interview with Sebastian Pfautsch about being climate smartNo.411R - Is coastal climate adaptation infrastructure worth public investment?

Something bigger is happening around XRP—and it isn't just one headline. Ripple President Monica Long has been recognized as one of the most influential leaders in stablecoins as RLUSD continues gaining momentum. MoonPay has connected FedNow to its platform, bringing real-time 24/7 payments another step closer to digital assets. Franklin Templeton now leads tokenized Treasury issuers with $1.6 billion in on-chain AUM growth, while Citadel Securities has made its first major crypto investment with a $400 million commitment to Crypto.com focused on tokenized securities and derivatives. At the same time, the CLARITY Act continues advancing in Washington, providing the regulatory framework institutions have been waiting for. These aren't isolated stories. They're all pointing in the same direction. In today's episode of **On The Chain**, Jeff and Chip connect the dots behind XRP, Ripple, RLUSD, FedNow, tokenization, stablecoins, institutional adoption, and why the financial system appears to be converging faster than ever before. We also go **Around the World**, breaking down today's biggest geopolitical stories, including election integrity, Scott Bessent, Marco Rubio, government oversight, Canada, and the global developments shaping markets and policy. **If you want to understand what's happening—not just the headlines, but how they all fit together—this is the episode you don't want to miss.** ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ## SUPPORT ON THE CHAIN ☕ Badassery Coffee [https://badasserycoffee.com](https://badasserycoffee.com)

Some people are highly intellectual and they have intelligence, but it can be easily misused by speculating. If you follow Kṛṣṇa by hearing Bhagavad Gītā, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and taking the advice of the ācāryas, it's descending mercy, because the order that comes down from Kṛṣṇa through the disciplic succession is non-different from Kṛṣṇa. Simple act— chanting Kṛṣṇa's names. It makes complete sense because everything has an origin—janmādy asya yataḥ—and that origin is personal. If you find out the name of the person from whom everything else emanates, and you worship that name according to Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, then you'll be directly in contact with Him. In fact, 'āsyenedam upāsya so ‘pi hi sadānandāmbudhau majjati' (Śrī Nāmāṣṭaka - 6). Rūpa Gosvāmī says, "Just use your mouth; use it as an instrument, and upāsya." Upāsya means to come closer. It means worship, but worship—actually, what it means literally—is that you become intimately connected with that person. So, this is the best of all religious processes because it's directly connecting us with Kṛṣṇa. It's a natural impulse to call out to those that we feel grateful to, that we want to serve, and that we are impressed by. So, take the process; keep doing it. I'm really impressed with all of you. You come here every single time, and every morning take time to chant, despite the fact that you have such busy lives. It's inordinate; that's part of being in Kali-yuga. But don't worry, because the holy name will win: 'paraṁ vijayate śrī-kṛṣṇa-saṅkīrtanam.' Keep doing this, and give it to many more people. Teach them how to chant Hare Kṛṣṇa.

Richard Rosso & Jonathan McCarty explore some of the biggest retirement and investing questions facing Americans today. We examine how SECURE Act 2.0 is accelerating the "Rothification" of retirement savings, why catch-up Roth contributions remain a powerful planning tool, and what investors need to know about employer Roth matching and the long-term tax implications. We also tackle one of the hottest debates in retirement planning: Are dividend stocks really safer, or are investors being seduced by yield? We examine the arguments popularized by Dave Ramsey and Suze Orman, discuss whether dividends actually provide better retirement income, and explain why total return—not yield alone—should drive long-term investment decisions. Along the way, we'll discuss how today's market environment, disruptive technologies, and changing tax policies could reshape retirement planning for years to come. Plus, we preview our upcoming "Narrative Busters" series, where we challenge some of Wall Street's most widely accepted investment beliefs. 0:00 INTRO 0:19 - Butt stuff & Taxes 3:39 - MAHA & Homeopathy (Health & Wealth are Connected) 5:45 - Secure Act 2.0 & Rothification of America 9:53 - Do Not Stop Catch-up Contributions to Roths 12:58 - Putting Employer Matches in Roth accounts 14:15 - Dealing with Tax Implications (Bending Over) 15:45 - Temperature Technology 19:11 - Take the Pain of Taxes Now vs Later (Will They Tax Our Roths?) 20:23 - The Roth Saga of Peter Thiel 22:48 - The Tax Cascade is Coming 25:05 - Suze Orman, Dave Ramsey Rationale on Dividend Paying Stocks 27:58 - Dividend = Safety? 32:47 - Seduced by Yield 37:00 - If You Want Income... 39:15 - Impact of Disruptive Companies 40:39 - Narrative Busters tease (Which Ghost Buster is Who?

She went from single mother on food stamps to building a seven-figure company, and her institute integrates consciousness, neuroscience, healing, and energetics. She is also the rare teacher who is both deeply loving and ruthlessly precise, which is why women feel safe enough with her to do the biggest work of their lives. This is not a vision board conversation. It's a look at why desire coming from need repels the thing you want, why the micro moments decide your trajectory, and why rage is holy work. In this episode, you'll learn: Why desire registers twice on the frequency scale, once as the lowest state and once as the highest, and how to tell which one you're in The come from test: if you want it to fix a problem, that is low consciousness dressed up as high consciousness Connected to everything, attached to nothing, and why letting go of the need is what closes the gap If you are given a vision, you are a visionary, and why no one else will ever see it the way you do The habit that undoes your progress: taking ten steps toward the vision and then looking down to check if it's there yet Why the most powerful healing move is not going back to fix her, it's being the evolved version of you right now What "decide" actually means, and why deciding from a retreat high is adrenaline, not truth The reason good vibes only culture is making people sicker, and what suppressed emotion does to the body Why a woman is not back in her power until she is back in her body This episode is for the woman who has read the books, done the breathwork, and can name every block she has, and still finds herself saying yes when her body said no. If you have been waiting for permission to want what you want without justifying it, this conversation is it.

In this heartfelt episode of Better Call Daddy, host Reena Friedman Watts reunites with her childhood friend Carre Gordon to talk about loss, connection, and healing. The two reminisce about their carefree days growing up together in Kentucky before Carre shares her journey through grief after the sudden loss of her son, Grant, during what began as an ordinary birthday celebration. Carre opens up about the unexpected signs and messages she's received from Grant, and how they've shown her that her bond with her son didn't end it just changed shape. The conversation moves through the role of spirituality, the healing power of community, and the lessons trauma can teach us about strength and vulnerability. Together, Reena and Carre explore mediumship, the idea of soul contracts, and what it means to stay connected to someone you've lost. Carre's story is a gentle, grounded reminder that grief isn't linear and that love doesn't disappear, it just finds new ways to reach us. If you or someone you love is navigating loss, this episode offers comfort, honesty, and the reassurance that you're not walking through it alone.

Instacart is shifting from a basic delivery app to a complete digital operating system that runs grocery stores from top to bottom. Ryan Hamburger, Chief Commercial Officer at Instacart sat down with Yael Kochman, Chair of AiR, to break down how the platform is bundling hardware, software, and AI tools that help grocers manage everything from smart shopping carts to automated inventory tracking. “Consumers know the shopping cart. You cannot make it a complicated experience. Otherwise they will abandon it.” By solving real-world frustrations on the store floor and removing the inventory guesswork for retailers, Instacart is scaling AI to create a unified experience for everyone in the aisle. INSIDE THE EPISODE: - How smart carts bring your digital account, real-time store inventory, and loyalty rewards directly to the grocery aisle. - Why tools only succeed if they fit a shopper's routine, making it effortless to budget in real time, find items on the shelf, and manage lists. - How Instacart handles the technical headache for grocers trapped by ancient computer systems by wrapping software around existing infrastructure. - How Instacart's AI acts as a proactive meal planner for shoppers while tracking shelves and predicting inventory for retailers. Listen above for the full discussion on how grocery AI delivers the most value when it connects the entire retail ecosystem while remaining simple for shoppers and practical for grocers.

Is your HR function organised the way employees actually experience it, or just the way it's always been done? In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, David Green is joined by Tony Truong, VP of People Strategy, Operations, Technology and Analytics at Chime, to unpack why most HR functions are still organised in silos, by specialty, while employees experience work as a series of moments: getting hired, being onboarded, going for a promotion. Tony has spent the last two years closing that gap, rebuilding Chime's people function from the ground up as the company has scaled into a public company. In this episode, David and Tony discuss: Why the real limitation holding HR back is fragmentation, not ambition What it's taken to rebuild a people function from the ground up at a newly public company How AI has reshaped recruiting at Chime, cutting a process that used to take days down to hours Tony's three-stage framework for thinking about AI's role in the business: assistance, automation, and orchestration What it actually looks like to move people analytics from the periphery of HR to the centre of how a business makes decisions This episode is sponsored by Valence.

The Big Unlock · Dr. Anne Snowdon, Scientific Director and CEO, SCAN Health and Chief Scientific Research Officer, HIMSS In this episode, Dr. Anne Snowdon, Scientific Director and CEO at SCAN Health and Chief Scientific Research Officer at HIMSS, explores why AI has the potential to transform healthcare, but only if health systems build the evidence, infrastructure, and workforce readiness to support it. She argues that while AI is generating tremendous excitement, most health systems are still in the early stages of adoption with many initiatives remaining in pilot phases. Dr. Snowdon explains that healthcare must shift from deterministic decision-making toward probabilistic, predictive care, while developing new approaches to continuously evaluate AI as it learns and evolves. She also highlights the need to improve AI literacy among clinicians and establish stronger evidence before scaling enterprise-wide deployments. Beyond clinical workflows, Dr. Snowdon makes a compelling case for reimagining digital health around patients rather than health systems. She envisions AI empowering individuals to better manage their health while seamlessly connecting them with trusted providers through interoperable, data-driven ecosystems. She also identifies digitally enabled supply chains as a critical but often overlooked foundation for safer, more personalized, and higher-quality care. She believes that the future of healthcare depends not just on adopting AI, but on creating connected, evidence-based systems that improve outcomes for patients, clinicians, and the broader health ecosystem. Take a listen. This guest appearance was facilitated through conversations initiated at HIMSS AI in Healthcare Forum.

Are you trapped in a loop of toxic relationships, or feeling like your marriage has turned into a transactional business deal rather than a deep, soulful connection?In this episode of the Married and Connected Podcast, host Kameran Alareqi sits down with licensed marriage and family therapist, social worker, and Epic Love Expert Chaya Garcia (known on socials as the @EpicLoveExpert). Together, they dive deep into the raw, uncomfortable truths about codependency, accountability, emotional intimacy, and what it truly takes to move from a basic "exchange" to a sustainable, extraordinary marriage.Chaya shares her powerful personal journey—from being a 26-year-old high-achiever who seemingly "had it all" to finding herself in the fetal position after being left for drugs by an addict boyfriend. That divine rock-bottom moment sparked an obsession with understanding relationship dynamics, breaking subconscious patterns, and uncovering why we attract the very things we fear.If you are ready to stop pointing fingers, take ownership of your inner child, and elevate your relationship standards to build a peaceful, thriving home, this episode is a must-listen.Key Takeaways from This Episode:The Divinity of Accountability: It is easy to blame a narcissist or an addict, but true healing begins when we ask: "How did I attract and tolerate this scene?" Choosing to stay in an unhealthy dynamic is a form of self-abuse.The Modern Reality of Codependency: Codependency is a genuine addiction to a relationship, approval, and intermittent validation. High-achieving, independent women often fall into codependent traps because they use control as a mechanism to avoid deep-seated abandonment wounds.True Forgiveness Equals Freedom: Forgiveness isn't about condoning bad behavior or pretending to forget; it is an internal release that removes the shackles of trauma and hatred so you can protect your own peace and mind.The 3 pillars of a Sustainable Marriage: To build an "epic love," a relationship requires Safety (emotional, physical, and sexual), Spirituality (faith and attachment to a higher power), and absolute Sobriety from active emotional or physical addictions.The Ultimate Flex: A successful life isn't defined by cars, houses, or status. The ultimate accomplishment is creating a calm, consistent, "utopian" sanctuary within the four walls of your home where your family can genuinely thrive.Insightful Quotes From the Episode:"You don't attract what you want. You attract who you are." — Chaya Garcia"If you are allowing someone to treat you poorly, you're just as sick as them. They might be leaving you with another person, but you're leaving you too." — Chaya Garcia"Loving someone from afar might mean no contact. You can pray for them, you can wish them well, you can forgive them—but they don't get access to you anymore." — Kameran AlareqiConnect with Chaya Garcia:Instagram / Socials: @EpicLoveExpertBook a Free Discovery Call: connectwithchaya.com (Note: Spelled 'Chaya' in url)Free Training on Dating Mistakes: epiclovemastery.comConnect with Kameran Alareqi:Instagram / Socials: @married.and.connectedBook a Free Consultation CallKameran's websiteBuy Kameran's book on AmazonJoin the Free Skool Community "Verafy" Your RelationshipDisclaimer: The viewpoints, opinions, and advice expressed by the guest during this episode are solely those of Chaya Garcia and do not necessarily reflect the viewpoints, philosophies, or positions of Married and Connected or Kameran Alareqi herself.Support the show

We discuss the connection between digestive issues and the spine, headaches and the immune response due to cervical issues, if your pain is caused by trauma and how past trauma is deeply connected to the spine, and so much more. Dr. Vokshoor also shares supplements that can help as well as the best way you should sleep if you have back pain. And I also share some personal experiences and my take on healing but I also have to say I learned something new today and that's what I love about hosting this podcast is that I get to sit down with experts and continue learning new things about the body and get to share them with you!   Topics Discussed: → Spinal disc replacement surgery → Who can benefit → Alternatives for spine surgery → Best way to sleep for your back → Why the mind plays a bigger role than we realize → What to expect after surgery → The connection with past trauma and pain → The vagus nerve → Supplements to support As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at digestthispod@gmail.com.

Tom Rowland Podcast Episode 1018 is a conversation with marine life artist Dennis Friel, host of the Connected by Water podcast, on what it actually takes to paint fish for a living — from the Star brite SeaSafe event and a live-painted mahi, to leaving a 17-year music-business career, to whether AI is the next Napster for working artists, and where he really stands on Florida's shark debate.
