Podcasts about consume

Today we are talking about something that I think we all need to know about…  How to reset your dopamine. And before you think this is going to be one of those extreme episodes where I tell you to throw your phone into the ocean, stop drinking coffee, sit in a dark room for three days and eliminate everything fun from your life… That is absolutely not what we are doing. Because dopamine isn't bad. We need dopamine. Dopamine is part of what makes us want things. Pursue things. Work toward goals. Get up and go. The problem is that we are living in an environment where we can get enormous amounts of stimulation with almost zero effort. Open Instagram. Refresh your email. Check likes. Open TikTok. Eat something hyper-palatable. Buy something. Get a notification. Watch another episode. Click another video. Check your texts. Pick up your phone because you have 17 seconds with nothing to do. We have essentially eliminated boredom. And I think we need to talk about what that is doing to us. Because I don't think most people have a motivation problem. I think some people have made normal life too boring compared to the stimulation they consume all day long.   Think about this. Working toward a goal is slow. Building a business is slow. Getting stronger is slow. Improving a relationship is slow. Reading a book is slow. Learning something difficult is slow.     But your phone can give you novelty every half second. So what happens when your brain gets accustomed to incredibly stimulating rewards that require almost no effort? The things that actually build an awesome life can start feeling painfully boring.   And THAT is what I want to change today. I've been going deep into what Andrew Huberman, Chris Williamson, Stanford addiction psychiatrist Anna Lembke, Peter Attia and Gary Brecka have discussed around dopamine, reward, pleasure, discomfort and motivation. And there is one massive theme that keeps coming up: We need to stop getting so many rewards without earning them.   We need less cheap dopamine… And more earned dopamine. More accomplishment dopamine. More anticipation. More effort. More challenge. More doing hard things and feeling awesome afterward.   So today we're going to talk about what dopamine actually does, why our modern environment can completely screw with our motivation, what people mean by a dopamine reset, and most importantly… How we actually do it. Not forever. Not perfectly. But intentionally enough that normal life starts feeling interesting again.       Because imagine waking up and actually WANTING to work on your goals. Imagine sitting in your car without immediately opening your phone. Imagine finishing a workout and letting that accomplishment be the reward instead of instantly needing another stimulus. Imagine being fully engaged in dinner. Or a conversation. Or a walk. Or your kids. Or your work. That's what we're after. Not less enjoyment. More enjoyment from the things that actually matter. FIRST… WHAT IS DOPAMINE? Dopamine isn't simply the "pleasure chemical" This is probably the biggest misunderstanding. Dopamine plays a huge role in motivation, pursuit, learning, reinforcement and determining what your brain decides is worth pursuing again. Think less "this makes me happy" and more: "Go get that again." It's a molecule heavily involved in wanting and pursuing. Huberman explains dopamine in terms of baseline and peaks You have a baseline level of dopamine. Then certain experiences generate temporary increases above that baseline. The important part is what happens afterward. A big dopamine peak can be followed by a period where dopamine activity falls below where it was previously. This is part of why something incredible can sometimes leave you feeling strangely flat afterward. The higher and more frequently we chase enormous peaks, the more ordinary activities can start losing their appeal. Think about it like contrast If you eat incredibly sweet processed foods all day… A blueberry doesn't taste very sweet. There isn't anything wrong with the blueberry. Your reference point changed. The same general concept applies here. When your environment becomes filled with intense stimulation… Quiet feels boring. Reading feels boring. Work feels boring. Walking feels boring. A normal conversation feels boring. Your life didn't necessarily become boring. Your stimulation threshold changed. WHAT I MEAN BY "CHEAP DOPAMINE" I'm going to use the phrase cheap dopamine throughout this episode even though scientifically dopamine itself isn't cheap or expensive. What I mean is: A high-reward experience requiring very little effort. Things like: Endless short-form videos Constant social media refreshing Notifications Online shopping Gambling Highly processed foods Video games for hours and hours Constant snacking Drinking Continually checking texts Refreshing email Internet rabbit holes Watching episode after episode after episode Constant novelty And here's the key… None of those things has to be inherently evil. It's the dose. The frequency. And whether you've lost control over your consumption. There's a massive difference between choosing to watch a movie on Saturday night… And being literally unable to stand in an elevator for 25 seconds without checking your phone. That's the part I want us to notice. THE WORLD HAS REMOVED THE WAITING This might be one of the biggest problems. Almost everything used to have some friction. You wanted food? You cooked it. You wanted entertainment? You waited until your show came on. You wanted to talk to your friend? You called them. Maybe they weren't home. You wanted to buy something? You drove somewhere. You wanted information? You found a book. Now? Everything is immediate. Food. Entertainment. Shopping. Attention. Validation. Communication. Information. Novelty. Almost every human desire has an app attached to it. And our brains evolved in an environment where rewards generally required work. Now we can receive reward after reward while lying horizontally on the couch. That is a massive mismatch. THE PLEASURE-PAIN SEESAW One of my favorite explanations comes from Dr. Anna Lembke. She describes pleasure and pain almost like opposite sides of a balance. When we repeatedly push hard toward pleasure… Our brain tries to restore balance. And over time, you may need more of the stimulus just to experience the same effect. This is incredibly obvious with severe addiction. But I think it's useful to recognize much milder versions in ourselves. Have you ever: Opened Instagram for five minutes and 45 minutes disappeared? Finished a show and immediately needed another episode? Finished dessert and started looking for something else sweet? Checked one notification and then somehow checked four different apps? Picked up your phone without consciously deciding to? That automatic reaching is important. You aren't necessarily choosing anymore. You're responding. And I want us to get back into choosing. WHY NOTHING FEELS EXCITING ANYMORE Sometimes people say: "I'm unmotivated." "I don't feel like working." "I can't concentrate." "I'm bored." "I don't really feel excited about anything." Obviously there can be many medical, psychological and situational reasons for those feelings. But there is another question worth asking: How much stimulation are you consuming? Because if you're exposing yourself to novelty constantly… Your brain never gets a chance to be bored enough to create. Never bored enough to think. Never bored enough to solve a problem. Never bored enough to decide what you actually want. We're treating boredom like an emergency. I actually think boredom is incredibly productive. Some of my best ideas happen when there's nothing else coming into my brain. And we are filling every single empty pocket.   DOPAMINE STACKING Huberman talks about something that I think is fascinating: stacking multiple dopamine-producing experiences together. Think about a workout. Exercise itself can be rewarding. But now we add: Pre-workout. Favorite playlist. Phone. Texts. Social media. Energy drink. Maybe stimulants. Maybe a reward meal afterward. Maybe we post the workout and check responses. We've taken one intrinsically rewarding activity and stacked reward upon reward upon reward. And his point isn't that you can never do those things. It's that you don't necessarily want every good experience in life turned up to 100 every single time. Sometimes train without the perfect playlist. Sometimes walk without the podcast. Sometimes drink the coffee without simultaneously scrolling Instagram. Sometimes eat without watching television. Separate the rewards. You don't have to eliminate pleasure. Stop supercharging every experience. LEARN TO LOVE EFFORT This might be my favorite part of the entire episode. We need to stop making the reward exclusively something that comes AFTER the work. "I'll work out and then I can have this." "I'll finish this project and then I'll reward myself." "I'll complete my work and then I'll scroll." There's nothing wrong with celebrating accomplishments. But we also want to train ourselves to associate the effort itself with something positive. Because if the entire purpose of doing something difficult is the reward waiting at the end… The work becomes something you're trying to escape. Instead: "This discomfort means I'm getting stronger." "This is hard because I'm growing." "I'm proud of myself for doing this when I don't feel like doing it." "This is what keeping promises to myself feels like." "This is who I am." That shift is huge. The workout becomes the win. Doing the work becomes the win. Keeping the promise becomes the win. USE DISCOMFORT ON PURPOSE This theme comes up across a lot of these conversations. We're living in an unbelievably comfortable world. Temperature-controlled houses. Food everywhere. Cars. Couches. Entertainment. Delivery. Escalators. Amazon. Everything is optimized to eliminate friction. But voluntary discomfort can be incredibly valuable. Exercise. Walking. Strength training. Running. Sauna. Cold exposure when appropriate and done safely. Doing something physically difficult. Getting outside when conditions aren't perfect. Taking the stairs. Having the difficult conversation. Doing the work you're avoiding. The idea isn't: "Suffering is good." The idea is: Stop organizing your entire life around avoiding discomfort. Because challenge followed by satisfaction is very different from pleasure followed by emptiness. One you earned. One you consumed. We need both fun and hard things. But modern life has heavily tilted us toward consumption. DON'T START YOUR DAY WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S DOPAMINE Here's something I think would change a lot of people's lives. Do not roll over and immediately hand your brain to your phone. Because instantly you've got: Texts. News. Instagram. Email. TikTok. Other people's emergencies. Other people's opinions. Other people's lives. Other people's accomplishments. Other people's bodies. Other people's vacations. Other people's businesses. Other people's problems. Before you've even decided what YOU want your day to look like. I would rather protect that first part of the morning. Wake up. Water. Sunlight. Walk. Workout. Journal. Think. Plan. Work. Whatever your routine is. Just don't immediately flood your brain with novelty. You should decide the direction of your day before an algorithm decides it for you. THE 2.0 DOPAMINE RESET Okay. Here is what I would actually do. Not some insane internet detox. A realistic reset. RULE #1: Identify YOUR cheap dopamine Ask yourself: What do I compulsively reach for? Not what does the internet tell me is bad. What has control over ME? Maybe yours is: Instagram. TikTok. Shopping. Sugar. Video games. News. YouTube. Email. Texting. Something else. Identify the top one or two. Don't try to become a monk overnight. RULE #2: Take a meaningful break from the biggest offender If something truly feels compulsive, consider taking a real period away from it rather than constantly trying to moderate it. Try deleting it for a week. Maybe two. Maybe 30 days. See what happens. You might be shocked by how often your hand reaches for an app that isn't there. That's valuable information. RULE #3: Stop filling every gap This is a HUGE one. We're bringing back empty space. Stand in line. Just stand there. Drive five minutes. No podcast. Walk around the block. No headphones. Sit outside. Do nothing. Take a shower without content playing. Cook dinner without a video. You are retraining yourself to tolerate a lower level of stimulation. And here's the funny thing… After a while it doesn't feel low stimulation. It feels peaceful. RULE #4: Create phone-free zones Pick places where your phone does not belong. Examples: Bedroom Dinner table Gym Family time Bathroom First hour of the morning Last hour before bed Don't rely purely on willpower. Change your environment. Leave the phone somewhere else. Make the bad habit inconvenient. RULE #5: Turn off almost every notification Notifications are someone else deciding when your attention moves. Think about that. Unless something legitimately requires immediate attention… Turn it off. RULE #6: Stop stacking everything Coffee + Instagram + television + food + texting? No. Pick one. Workout + podcast + scrolling between sets + energy drink + Instagram? Simplify it. Let an experience stand alone. Food can just be food. Coffee can just be coffee. A walk can just be a walk. A conversation can just be a conversation. RULE #7: Get your dopamine through pursuit This is the big replacement strategy. You can't just remove things. You need better things to move toward. Exercise. Building something. Learning. Working. Creating. Sports. Relationships. Adventure. Goals. Competition. Skill. Experiences. Meaningful challenges. Get obsessed with something difficult. That is completely different than being addicted to consumption. RULE #8: Do one hard thing every day I love this rule. Every day, intentionally do something that you'd rather avoid. Workout hard. Make the phone call. Send the proposal. Clean the closet. Have the conversation. Finish the project. Run the hill. Get into the cold water if that's safe for you. Walk when you'd rather sit. Do the thing you've been procrastinating. You start creating evidence: "I don't have to feel like doing something in order to do it." That is power. RULE #9: Prioritize sleep Your brain isn't operating independently of your body. If you're chronically sleep-deprived, everything becomes harder. Motivation. Impulse control. Training. Food choices. Emotional regulation. Focus. Peter Attia and Huberman both hammer sleep for a reason. If we're trying to optimize our brain while sleeping five hours… We're focusing on the wrong end of the problem. RULE #10: Morning sunlight and movement Huberman talks frequently about getting outdoor light early in the day to anchor your circadian system. I love pairing that with movement. Outside. Walk. Light. No Instagram. Let your nervous system wake up naturally. It's incredibly simple. And simple things done repeatedly tend to beat complicated hacks. THE 24-HOUR CHALLENGE Here is your challenge. For the next 24 hours: No phone for the first 30 minutes after waking. No social media until you've completed something productive. Turn off unnecessary notifications. No phone while eating. Take one walk without headphones. Do one difficult thing you've been avoiding. No double-screening. If you're watching TV, you're not also scrolling. Put your phone outside your bedroom tonight. Let yourself experience boredom. Notice every time you instinctively reach for stimulation. Don't judge yourself. Observe yourself. Because awareness is the beginning of changing anything. THEN TRY SEVEN DAYS Now let's level it up. For seven days: Reduce your biggest cheap-dopamine behavior dramatically. You don't need to eliminate all pleasure. In fact, please don't. Go to dinner. Laugh. Drink your coffee. Listen to music. Hang with friends. Enjoy your life. This isn't punishment. We're trying to reclaim our ability to enjoy NORMAL things. That's the goal. Less artificial stimulation. More real life. ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION Before you reach for something, ask: Am I choosing this, or am I escaping something? That question can completely change things. Why am I opening Instagram? Because I intentionally decided to spend 15 minutes enjoying it? Fine. Or because this task got difficult? Why am I eating this? Because I'm hungry and I want it? Fine. Or because I'm uncomfortable? Why am I drinking? Because I'm celebrating with friends? Or because I can't tolerate sitting with how I feel? Why am I checking email for the 47th time? Because I'm waiting for something important? Or because working on the project in front of me is harder? That pause between impulse and behavior… That's where your power is. CHEAP DOPAMINE VS EARNED DOPAMINE This is the easiest way I can summarize the episode. Cheap dopamine: Consume. Scroll. Click. Watch. Refresh. Snack. Buy. Escape. Earned dopamine: Build. Train. Create. Learn. Connect. Explore. Compete. Finish. Accomplish. The first category isn't evil. But if the balance of your life is overwhelmingly consumption… Don't be surprised when your motivation disappears. Shift the ratio. More creating. Less consuming. More doing. Less watching. More participating. Less observing. More real life. Less digital life. WE NEED ANTICIPATION BACK I think anticipation is disappearing. When everything is immediately available… There's nothing to look forward to. And looking forward to something is part of the fun. Plan the trip. Wait for Friday night. Save the amazing dessert for dinner. Don't buy everything the second you want it. Put the concert on the calendar. Build toward the race. Earn the reward. Delay things intentionally sometimes. The waiting isn't ruining the experience. The waiting IS part of the experience. YOUR LIFE SHOULD NOT NEED CONSTANT ENTERTAINMENT This might be the line I want you to remember. You should not need to be entertained every minute in order to enjoy your life. Your kids shouldn't either. We need boring car rides. We need afternoons with nothing scheduled. We need conversations without phones. We need walks. We need staring out the freaking window. We need thinking. We need daydreaming. We need opportunities for our brains to say: "Okay… what should we do?" Creativity often appears after the stimulation disappears. THE GOAL IS NOT LOWER DOPAMINE This is important. We're not trying to crush dopamine. We're not trying to become emotionless. We're not trying to avoid things that make us feel amazing. We're trying to protect our ability to feel amazing. That's different. We want the vacation to feel incredible. The concert. The accomplishment. The amazing dinner. The business win. The race. The adventure. The hug. The goal. The experience. We just don't need to manufacture an artificial mini-version of that feeling 800 times between breakfast and lunch. Leave some room. Let your baseline exist without constantly smashing the stimulation button.   Here's what I think is so interesting about all of this. We have designed a world where almost everything that used to require effort can now be accessed instantly. And that sounds like freedom. But if we're not careful… Convenience becomes dependence. Entertainment becomes distraction. Pleasure becomes compulsion. And access becomes addiction. The answer isn't to reject modern life. I'm certainly not giving up my phone. I'm not giving up coffee. I'm not giving up Instagram. I'm not giving up amazing food or concerts or trips or all the fun things. I want MORE life. That's actually the entire point. I don't want to spend my life looking down at a screen getting tiny rewards when there are enormous rewards available by actually participating in life. I want the dopamine from doing the workout I didn't want to do. Building the business. Taking the trip. Making the memory. Trying something new. Getting really freaking good at something. Having an amazing conversation. Being completely present with my kids. Creating something I'm proud of. Doing something hard. That's the dopamine I want more of. And maybe the simplest takeaway from this whole episode is this: Stop making pleasure so easy and effort so optional. Let yourself work for things. Let yourself wait for things. Let yourself be bored. Let yourself struggle. Let yourself anticipate. Let yourself earn some of the really good feelings. Because when we stop trying to make every moment maximally stimulating… Something really cool happens. Normal life starts becoming awesome again. And that is how to be awesome at resetting your dopamine.

Jim Kwik's New Book: https://limitlessdaily.com Products: MAPS BOGO Sale — https://mapsbogo.com.com Sponsors: LMNT — https://drinklmnt.com/mindpump AI can synthesize, process, and generate faster than any human alive. But here's what it cannot do: think for YOU. Jim Kwik is back on Mind Pump, and he makes the case that your natural human intelligence is more valuable right now than it has ever been, precisely because most people are handing it over without a fight. Cognitive offloading, digital distraction, identity collapse as careers get automated, the risks are real and they are compounding fast. Jim breaks down the concept of cognitive reserve, the mental retirement account you build through new learning, physical activity, and social connection, and why someone like Sister Mary could have the brain plaques of advanced Alzheimer's and still ace her cognitive tests at 101. He lays out his BUILD framework for using AI as a creative partner rather than a crutch, and explains why the quality of your prompts is a direct reflection of your own human intelligence.

In this episode of the Travis Makes Money Podcast, Travis Chappell and producer Eric dive into a lesson that applies to entrepreneurship, content creation, and virtually any other craft: master the fundamentals before trying to reinvent the game. Inspired by a discussion about writer David Sedaris, they explore why success often comes from consistency, learning from others, consuming great work, and staying in the game long enough for momentum to compound. They also discuss examples from podcasting and content creation, including Zach Justice and John Lee Dumas, and emphasize the importance of understanding the rules before you try to break them. On this episode we talk about: Why you should master the fundamentals of your craft before trying to do things differently How studying and consuming great work can make you better at creating your own Why you don't need to be a trailblazer to become an outlier How consistency and longevity can create the "hockey stick" effect in business and content creation Why learning the rules first gives you more freedom to eventually break them Top 3 Takeaways Master the fundamentals before trying to innovate. If you're just starting out, spend most of your time learning the language, rules, and skills of your chosen field before attempting to reinvent it. Consistency can be more powerful than novelty. Many successful people don't constantly chase the next big idea—they stay in the game, continue doing the work, and eventually benefit from years of accumulated momentum. Consume what you want to create. Reading, watching, and studying excellent work helps you understand what works and identify opportunities to create something you wish already existed. Notable Quotes "You don't know how to do it the way they do it." "You gotta learn the fundamentals and master the basics before you can start playing with it." "Once that boulder starts rolling, it's a lot harder to stop it than it is to get it going."

Andy Crouch's The Tech-Wise Family isn't about keeping pornography out of your home. It's about building the kind of home where you know what you actually want — and where technology doesn't quietly replace it. In part two of this conversation, Michael and Andy get into the ten commitments at the heart of the book, and they're not what you'd expect.They talk about why the goal is wisdom and courage rather than limits, and how untethered access to technology quietly reinforces the fear of being known. They discuss what Sabbath actually looks like — not collapsing on the couch but feasting, playing, worshipping, and resting — and why Andy thinks it's the most broken commandment. They get into what kids say they actually want help with when it comes to devices, which turns out not to be pornography but sleep. And the episode ends somewhere no one expects: at the bedside of the dying, and what it means to be a family that knows how to show up, put the phone down, and stay.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!

Full show notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/504 In this solosode, you'll get the latest research on three questions I keep getting asked. First, seed oils: a brand-new randomized controlled trial put 52 adults on either a low or a typical Western intake of linoleic acid for 12 weeks, and the results are important less for what they found than for what they didn't. You'll hear why arachidonic acid didn't move, why EPA dropped instead, what that does to your inflammatory balance, which seed oils I still think are worth avoiding, and the one dietary adjustment that matters most if seed oils are part of your diet. You'll also learn the surprisingly small amount of strength training that delivers the biggest longevity payoff, according to a 30-year study of more than 147,000 people, plus why pairing it with cardio is the single best exercise combination for blood pressure. I break down concurrent training, the interference effect between AMPK and mTOR, and when combining strength and cardio in one session helps you versus when it holds you back. Finally, I answer a listener question on peptides with six practical rules for stacking them safely, including which ones should never share a syringe, which ones cancel each other out at the receptor, and an honest look at how thin the human evidence really is behind the popular Wolverine stack.

What if the personal development content you're consuming isn't helping you grow—but helping you hide?For years, I read the books, bought the courses, filled journals with ideas, and listened to countless podcasts. It felt productive, but my life barely changed.The problem wasn't a lack of information. It was a lack of application.Most of us believe we need more knowledge, confidence, clarity, or motivation before we take action. But confidence usually doesn't come before the step. It is built through taking the step, surviving failure, learning, and moving again.In this video, we explore why personal development can become a form of procrastination, what biblical obedience actually looks like, and how to escape the endless cycle of learning without doing.You'll discover how to:• Make your first step embarrassingly small• Create accountability that outlasts motivation• Measure faithful actions instead of immediate outcomes• Treat failure as useful data• Consume less and create more• “Ship ugly” instead of waiting for perfection• Recognize what God may already be asking you to do• Become disciplined by repeatedly keeping your promisesJoshua marched before the walls fell. Peter stepped out of the boat before he experienced the miracle. Abraham walked. Moses stretched out his staff.The confidence came after the obedience.You may not be able to see God's entire plan for your life. But like headlights on a dark road, He may be showing you enough to take the next faithful step.So ask yourself:What conversation have I been avoiding?What responsibility have I been neglecting?Who can I encourage or serve today?What can I finish in the next 30 minutes?What step do I already know I need to take?CHAPTERS:00:00 Self Help Confession00:55 Confidence Comes After01:44 Faith Before Clarity03:39 The Learning Loop Trap04:13 Six Action Principles06:52 Coach For Next Steps07:49 Identity Through Repetition08:28 Finding Gods Next Step11:45 Community Invitation12:52 Prayer And SendoffDon't consume another big idea until you've tested the last one.

Your mind cannot operate at its highest level when it is constantly flooded with noise. What you consume shapes how you think, how you decide, and how you execute. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why your information diet has a direct impact on your focus, mental clarity, leadership, and ability to solve problems inside your business. Because let's be real… If your brain is constantly filled with outrage media… Negative headlines… Social media drama… And random content designed to keep you distracted… You are not protecting your mind. You are letting the algorithm program it. In this episode, you'll learn: How low-quality content weakens your focus and productivity Why social media algorithms keep you angry, distracted, and reactive How to intentionally curate information that supports your growth Why controlling your input leads to clearer thinking and stronger execution How protecting your mental bandwidth helps you make better business decisions The truth is simple: Your output will always reflect your input. If you feed your mind noise, distraction, and negativity… That is what shows up in your decisions. But if you feed your mind strategy, discipline, growth, and execution… You become sharper. More focused. More effective. And harder to knock off course. High-level operators do not let the internet decide what enters their mind. They control the input. They remove the noise. They protect their focus. They fill their environment with information that makes them smarter, sharper, and more dangerous in business. Because focus is the ultimate currency. And when you control what enters your mind, you gain more control over the results you create. Stop consuming like everybody else. Protect your brain. Curate your input. Think clearly. Execute harder. And keep leveling up. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

Welcome to class! Today, Brandon and Jesse head back to the cannabis kitchen to create a custom combo they're calling Sweet Berry Lemonade.The recipe starts with two very different flowers: the dark, funky, berry-forward Halle Berry by Betty and the bright, citrusy Super Lemon G from Dragonfly Brand Zero. After experimenting with the proportions, the guys land on a 50/50 blend that delivers the best of both worlds: an alert mind, a relaxed body, easy conversation, and plenty of flavor.Along the way, they explore how each flower contributes to the experience, why cannabinoid and terpene profiles can matter more than THC percentage alone, and how changing a blend's ratio can completely change its effects. The conversation also wanders through mindful consumption, vaporizing versus smoking joints, gaming, creativity, and why the right cannabis combo can make a social activity even more enjoyable.The final verdict? Half Halle Berry and half Super Lemon G produced a sweet, citrusy, berry-lemonade flavor with an elevated mood, gentle physical relaxation, creative energy, and a clear enough head to enjoy the moment.Have you created a cannabis combo that surprised you—or one nobody else should ever try?

¿Cansado de perder 15 minutos cada mañana revisando el tiempo, las noticias, las ofertas y el estado de tu servidor? En este episodio te muestro cómo automatizar todo ese proceso con un script en Python, un timer de systemd y un modelo de lenguaje local. Sin n8n, sin agentes, sin servicios externos de pago.Mucha gente piensa que para automatizar cualquier cosa necesitas un agente con montones de herramientas MCP, skills y configuración. Pero la realidad es que para muchas tareas cotidianas, un agente es como usar un lanzamisiles para matar una mosca. Consume demasiado contexto, demasiados recursos y al final no es la solución más eficiente.En este episodio te presento el patrón de las tres capas: un script que hace el trabajo, un timer que lo ejecuta a una hora determinada y un sistema de notificaciones que te envía el resultado. Con esto puedes automatizar cualquier cosa de forma sencilla, eficiente y completamente bajo tu control.Te explico cómo he creado el nightly-runner, un script en Python que cada madrugada recopila información de cuatro fuentes distintas. Primero consulta el tiempo en wttr.in, que te devuelve un JSON con la temperatura, el viento, la humedad y los rayos ultravioleta. Luego hace scraping con IA de tus fuentes de noticias favoritas, extrayendo titulares y valorando su relevancia. Después busca ofertas de zapatillas de running en varias tiendas, comparando los precios con los del día anterior. Y por último recoge información del sistema con df, free, uptime y ps aux para saber si tu disco se está llenando o te estás quedando sin RAM.Toda esa información se guarda en archivos JSON y luego se pasa por un modelo de lenguaje local, Llama 3.2 con Ollama, que genera un resumen en lenguaje natural. El resultado es un mensaje de Telegram con un tono cercano que te da los buenos días, te cuenta el tiempo que va a hacer, te destaca las noticias importantes, te avisa si hay una oferta que no puedes dejar pasar y te informa del estado de tu servidor. Todo en un solo mensaje.El timer de systemd con Persistent=true se asegura de que si tu equipo estaba apagado a las 4 de la mañana, el script se ejecute en cuanto se encienda. Y cada capa es tolerante a fallos: si wttr.in está caído, el script simplemente omite el tiempo y el resumen dice que no hay información meteorológica disponible. Si no hay ofertas nuevas, no las menciona. Si Ollama no responde, envía el resumen sin procesar.Lo mejor de todo es que no necesitas saber Python para montar esto. Puedes usar Open Code o Gemini para que te genere el script con solo explicarle lo que quieres. Y para ejecutarlo, Llama 3.2 en local es más que suficiente. Sin gastar un euro en APIs.Capítulos:0:00 - Crítica a los agentes como solución universal2:00 - El problema: 15 minutos perdidos cada mañana4:00 - La solución: tres capas (script, timer, notificación)5:30 - wttr.in: el tiempo en JSON con un curl7:30 - Noticias: scraping con IA para extraer titulares9:30 - Zapatillas: comparativa de precios contra caché11:00 - Sistema: df, free, uptime y ps aux13:00 - El resumen: todos los JSONs pasan por Llama 3.216:00 - Systemd timer con Persistent=true18:00 - Notificaciones a Telegram y notify-send20:00 - Tolerancia a fallos en cada capa21:30 - Genera el script con IA aunque no sepas Python23:00 - Comparación con Hermes: menos es másEste podcast pertenece a la red de Sospechosos Habituales.

Rania Dudum and Zoe Rucker are in their early twenties, juggling work, school, roommates, and everything else that comes with that stage of life. They still make time for Binky Patrol, and in this episode they tell Susan why. Rania describes her first Bink-A-Thon, where volunteers who had never met made nearly 300 blankets in five hours. Zoe explains why the lowest barrier to entry she has ever seen keeps her coming back. Together they cover eight new chapters opened this year, a crochet creator with 200,000 followers who posted about Binky Patrol after a single message, and the legacy afghans that found new purpose with children in crisis. Susan closes with a look back at 30 years and a wish: a Binky Patrol chapter in every county in America. Rania Dudum [00:02:10]: “Getting to spend an hour out of your day making a blanket can impact the life of a child for the rest of theirs.” Zoe Rucker [00:05:20]: “It's a serious thing, but it is, like, genuinely the most unserious thing, I feel like if you want to get involved, all you have to do is make a blanket, and that could take an hour or you could spend days doing it.” Learn more at https://binkypatrol.org and how you can get involved.

Welcome to episode 125. How much of what you believe about the world is based on your own experience—and how much has been shaped by the stories from external sources? In this episode, I explore how the news, social media, and constant streams of information influence the way we think, feel, and behave. We look at why our brains struggle to cope with modern media, how fear can quietly steal our power, and why becoming more intentional about what we consume is one of the most empowering things we can do. Let's dive in! In this episode: • Your brain wasn't built for 24-hour news — constant exposure to fear and negativity can distort your perception of the world and leave you feeling powerless. • Choose your influences wisely — asking who benefits from a particular story or narrative helps you think more critically and reclaim your personal power. • Consume with intention — taking breaks from the news, seeking balanced perspectives, and focusing on actions you can take helps replace overwhelm with agency.   Books mentioned in this episode: Risk - Dan Gardner: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/5760/9780753515532 Flat Earth News - Nick Davies: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/5760/9780099512684 Amusing Ourselves to Death - Neil Postman: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/5760/9780413404404 *This is an affiliate link.

This week, Tee is joined by Cindy Anderson, the founder of Manny's Choice, the company behind The Good Gluten®. After surviving breast cancer and struggling with severe gluten intolerance, Cindy discovered she could enjoy food again when using clean, European Flour. Inspired by that experience, she created Manny's Choice to help others enjoy real food without the discomfort often associated with modern wheat products. Her mission is to challenge the conversation around gluten and explore how processing, additives, and food quality may be impacting gut health and overall wellness.  In this conversation, Cindy explains the key differences between European and North American wheat, from farming practices and milling methods to food regulations and ingredient standards. She discusses how modern agricultural practices, food processing, and chemical additives may contribute to digestive discomfort, inflammation, and food sensitivities that many people mistakenly attribute solely to gluten. Cindy also shares why so many travelers find they can comfortably enjoy bread and pasta while visiting Europe, and why she believes nutrient-dense heritage wheat deserves a closer look. The discussion also explores practical ways to reduce your exposure to unnecessary food additives by reading ingredient labels, choosing minimally processed foods, and making small, sustainable changes in your kitchen. Tee and Cindy discuss why clean ingredients matter for the entire family, the importance of supporting gut health, and how simple pantry swaps can make healthy eating both convenient and enjoyable. Whether you're living with gluten sensitivity, curious about food quality, or simply looking to make healthier choices, this episode offers an eye-opening perspective on one of the most common foods in our diet.

1 Timothy 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.Luke 12:15 "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions."You're not rich when you get everything YOU WANT. You're rich when you want what you ALREADY HAVE.Three Big Ideas About ContentmentContentment is LEARNED; it's not NATURAL.The more you GET, the more you WANT.Philippians 4:12 I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.Contentment isn't a place you ARRIVE at in the future. It's an attitude you EMBRACE today.Philippians 4:13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.You can't CONSUME your way to happiness. You CONTENT your way to happiness with what you have.2.  CONTENTMENT begins when COMPARISON ends.Ecclesiastes 4:4 Then I observed that most people are motivated to success because they envy their neighbors. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.Exodus 20:17 "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."As long as you COMPARE, you'll never be CONTENT.1 Timothy 6:6–8 But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.1 Timothy 6:9–10 Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.1 Timothy 6:17–18 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.1 Timothy 6:19 In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.Contentment requires a vision to consume less so you can GIVE more. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.When we GIVE, we are most like JESUS. 

Si entras hoy mismo en cualquier librería online y buscas la palabra «fitness», te encontrarás con más de 1.500 resultados. Si cambias los términos y buscas «nutrición», la cifra se dispara por encima de los 7.000 libros. Cada uno de estos textos promete un enfoque único, un sistema infalible y la solución definitiva a todos tus problemas físicos. Pero esa solución, es solo un engaño. Para entender el panorama actual de la salud y el entrenamiento, siempre recurro a una analogía cinematográfica muy clara. En la célebre película Braveheart, hay un momento memorable en el que William Wallace se sitúa a la cabeza de su ejército y pronuncia uno de los discursos más épicos de la historia del cine justo antes de comenzar la batalla. Era un solo hombre liderando a su ejército, recordándoles su deber y guiándolos hacia un objetivo común. Ahora, imagina esa misma escena completamente al revés: todo un ejército de miles de personas gritándole simultáneamente al pobre William Wallace, enviándole mensajes contradictorios desde cada rincón sobre lo que debe hacer. Así es exactamente como funciona la industria actual del fitness y de las dietas. Nos encontramos ante millones de voces y perfiles públicos lanzando discursos distorsionados por incentivos económicos, cuyo único propósito real no es que logres mejorar, sino mejorarles a ellos. La Paradoja de los Mil Discursos En la película había mil hombres y un solo discurso. En el mundo del bienestar actual, por cada persona que intenta cuidarse hay mil creadores de contenido con mil discursos diferentes y contradictorios: ¡Come aguacate para obtener vitamina K! ¡Haz cardio en ayunas para quemar grasa de forma eficiente! ¡Es completamente imprescindible el ejercicio en zona 2! ¡Elimina la fruta por completo porque solo contiene azúcar! ¡Come mucha fruta porque está llena de vitaminas! ¡Debes alimentarte estrictamente como lo hacían nuestros antepasados! ¡Consume más grasas para lograr quemar grasa! ¡Suprime los carbohidratos durante la noche! Esta saturación responde a un modelo de negocio basado en la influencia y el patrocinio. Las marcas comerciales buscan activamente estos perfiles con audiencias masivas para promocionar sus productos. Aunque existe una narrativa común en la que se asegura que solo se colabora con firmas en las que se cree firmemente, la experiencia demuestra que esa confianza suele desaparecer en el momento en que competidores del sector ofrecen condiciones económicas más ventajosas. Cuando sigues las recomendaciones de un influencer y utilizas su código del 10% de descuento, debes ser consciente de que ese beneficio aparente es, en realidad, una comisión comercial encubierta. Esos ingresos acumulados sirven para que el profesional gane atractivo ante marcas aún mayores, un cambio de patrocinador bajo la premisa de una supuesta «evolución profesional» y una integridad intachable. El Puetne BAB y la Necesidad de la Recaída La mayoría de los productos y soluciones que se comercializan en este sector se sustentan sobre el fracaso ajeno. Para lograrlo, se emplea de forma sistemática una estructura de redacción persuasiva o copywriting conocida como BAB (Before, After, Bridge / Antes, Después, Puente): [Antes: El Problema] ──> [Después: La Solución Ideal] ──> [Puente: El Producto] El Antes (Before): Se muestra a una persona con un físico idílico y aspiracional narrando un problema cotidiano con el que es fácil identificarse (dificultades para conciliar el sueño, hambre incesante entre horas o falta de energía). El Después (After): Se describe la situación idílica actual, asegurando que ahora se descansa de forma ininterrumpida, no se padece ansiedad por la comida y se ha optimizado la pérdida de peso de forma drástica. El Puente (Bridge): Se introduce el suplemento o artículo específico que supuestamente ha propiciado ese cambio radical, disponible para su compra inmediata a través de una comisión directa. Si analizas el mecanismo con frialdad, entenderás que si un producto eliminara el problema de raíz, la industria perdería un cliente para siempre. Un tejido comercial de esta envergadura no se consolida perdiendo usuarios, sino fidelizándolos a largo plazo a través de la necesidad constante de consumir la siguiente novedad del mercado. Una vez entras en esa dinámica, te conviertes en un consumidor cautivo de por vida. Esto explica por qué existen personas que llevan décadas «a dieta». Antes de la era digital, el canal utilizado eran las revistas especializadas en papel; cada mes era indispensable publicar un método revolucionario para la pérdida de peso, invalidando por completo las pautas del mes anterior para asegurar la venta del nuevo ejemplar. Aunque los soportes han evolucionado hacia los formatos digitales, el trasfondo sigue siendo idéntico. La Lavada de Cara del Sector: De la Estética a la Longevidad En mi trayectoria profesional he rechazado de forma sistemática numerosas propuestas de patrocinio por parte de empresas de suplementación. La razón es una cuestión de coherencia básica: apenas consumo suplementos en mi vida diaria. En mi rutina actual solo incluyo proteína en polvo por criterios de comodidad logística, creatina de forma temporal, y vitamina D pautada de forma estricta para el control analítico anual de la espondilitis que padezco. Sería una absoluta incoherencia recomendar comercialmente productos que no forman parte de mi día a día, especialmente cuando los contratos de patrocinio imponen la obligación de promocionar sustancias bajo la premisa falsa de que eso te servirá para algo. Actualmente, el sector de los suplementos experimenta un auge sin precedentes gracias a un lavado de imagen muy estratégico. Se ha sustituido la publicidad tradicional protagonizada por modelos o atletas con vestimentas sugerentes por una estética mucho más sobria y corporativa: Prescriptores sanitarios: Ahora son profesionales de la medicina quienes avalan las líneas de producto. Identidad visual seria: Se emplean gamas cromáticas oscuras, diseños limpios y tipografías que transmiten rigor científico, alejándose de los colores estridentes del pasado. Precios premium: El coste económico es notablemente superior bajo el argumento de una efectividad médica diferenciada. Cambio de objetivo: Ya no se promete únicamente rendimiento deportivo o pérdida de grasa, sino longevidad y aumento de la esperanza de vida. A pesar de este cambio estético, los problemas estructurales de la población siguen siendo exactamente los mismos: los índices de exceso de peso no disminuyen, el sedentarismo sigue al alza, los problemas de descanso persisten y las patologías crónicas no transmisibles continúan multiplicándose. Lo único que cambia de forma constante es la solución comercial ofertada, diseñada específicamente para que fracases y te veas empujado a adquirir el siguiente lanzamiento. Lo que Realmente Importa (Y lo que Menos Dinero Cuesta) Personalmente he escrito cinco libros de divulgación y coordino una academia digital orientada a la mejora física general. Ofrezco mis propios servicios, porque dependo exclusivamente de mi, no de nadie más. Pero sinceramente, podrías conseguir lo mismo sin contratar mis servicios, solo que te costará mucho más tiempo, pero podrías llegar al mismo sitio si decides centrar tus esfuerzos diarios en las variables que verdaderamente mejoran tu estilo de vida, que son precisamente las que menos dinero cuestan: Entrenar, cuidar tu alimentación, dormir… No existe ningún inconveniente en que las industrias busquen la rentabilidad económica. El conflicto ético surge cuando se confunde y manipula la percepción de las personas para dejarlas en una situación de vulnerabilidad física y financiera, persiguiendo una solución milagrosa que nunca llegará. Aunque por supuesto, la decisión final sobre cómo gestionar tu salud, tus recursos y tu tiempo te pertenece solo a ti. Origen

“Produce more than you consume” is five words, but they're a compass. I start most mornings with one quiet question: What am I going to make today? Not what I'm going to buy, watch, scroll, or order to the door but what I'll bring into the world with my own two hands. That simple shift has become the backbone of my self-reliance mindset, and it's the most practical productivity habit I know for building competence, confidence, and a calmer mood.I talk through how easy it is to become a consumer without noticing: packaged food, outsourced repairs, nights filled with entertainment, and eventually paying other people to live big parts of your life for you. When my business came apart, I had to face a harder question: what can I actually do if nobody is coming and nothing is getting delivered? That humbling answer became the beginning of everything that followed and it still shapes how I spend an ordinary day at the cabin.We also get specific about what “production” really means. It can be splitting and stacking wood, fixing a fence, cooking from scratch, sharpening a tool, turning a garden bed, practicing a skill, or learning something you can pass on. I share the nightly “quiet accounting” I use to stay honest about the balance, why rest is part of the process, and why efficiency culture can miss the point. Most important: you can do this in an apartment too, with small wins like mending, growing herbs, building a shelf, or repairing a bike.If you want to be around people choosing competence over convenience, I also point you toward the community at myselfreliance.com and what I'm thinking for a Facebook space.

A clear-eyed conversation on building AI that's grounded, useful, and safe to deploy.00:46 Introducing Douwe Kiela 01:37 RAG - Here to Stay or Go? 06:59 LLMs with Context 08:20 Making AI Successful 10:34 Why Contextual AI? 17:18 LLM versus SLMs 20:28 Speed over Perfection 22:07 Hallucinations 26:02 Making AI Easy to Consume 28:50 Defining an Agent 32:53 Reaching Contextual AI 33:14 The Contrarian View 34:37 The Risks of AI 36:53 For FunLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/douwekiela Website: contextual.aiWant to be featured as a guest on Making Data Simple?  Reach out to us at almartintalksdata@gmail.com and tell us why you should be next.  The Making Data Simple Podcast is hosted by Al Martin, WW VP Technical Sales, IBM, where we explore trending technologies, business innovation, and leadership ... while keeping it simple & fun. 

Ben and Rob intercept the frequency in John Carpenter's They Live (1988), starring Roddy Piper as a man with nothing, Keith David as a man with just enough left to lose, and an entire ruling class of skull-faced aliens doing their most convincing work in business suits. What begins as the story of how a six-page pulp story from 1963, written by a man almost nobody has heard of, adapted into a comic nobody much read, ended up in the hands of a furious filmmaker who wanted to give the finger to a sitting president slowly develops into something considerably larger; a conversation about the collision of rage, resourcefulness, and sheer unlikely chemistry that produced one of the most politically precise films Hollywood has ever accidentally greenlit and whether a B-movie with a four-million-dollar budget and rubber alien masks is secretly one of the most important documents of the twentieth century.And finally… what does it really mean?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more!PLUS we have a Patreon with EXCLUSIVE content just for you starting at less than £2 a month - Click the link below!Find us on your socials of choice at www.linktr.ee/everymovieeverpodcast

Your mind is only as strong as what you feed it. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why your content diet is directly shaping your business decisions, your focus, and your financial future. Let's be real… If you spend hours consuming negativity… Mindless entertainment… Outrage politics… And random distractions… You cannot expect to operate like a high-level CEO. In this episode, you'll learn: Why your attention is one of your most valuable assets How low-quality content destroys creativity and focus Why your inputs directly affect your business output How to curate your content diet like a serious entrepreneur The truth is simple: You cannot output greatness while inputting garbage. Your brain is constantly being programmed. By what you watch. By what you listen to. By who you follow. By what you allow into your mind every single day. So if you want sharper ideas… Better decisions… Stronger execution… And a more powerful vision… You have to guard the gates. Stop letting the algorithm decide what fills your head. Study winners. Listen to high-level operators. Consume information that makes you sharper, stronger, and more disciplined. Because when you upgrade your inputs… You upgrade your mindset. And when you upgrade your mindset… Your income follows. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

What causes blackheads and clogged pores? Find out how to remove blackheads permanently with the #1 blackhead remedy that addresses the root cause of your skin issues. 0:00 Introduction: What causes blackheads?2:14 Most common blackhead cause 2:51 Vitamin A and blackheads 5:48 The best blackhead remedy Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO07What causes blackheads? Every blackhead on your face is caused by a specific type of fat called palmitic acid, not bacteria and not dirt. Your body makes palmitic acid out of sugar, so when you consume too much, your body converts the excess into palmitic acid.Zinc deficiency is one of the most common blackhead causes. Vitamin A is also vital for blackhead removal because it controls oil production on the skin. Vitamin A does not work without zinc. To remove blackheads and keep them from returning, you must eliminate excess sugar from your diet. Follow a ketogenic diet, practice intermittent fasting, and consume nutrient-dense foods. Consume liver or shellfish for zinc, and cod liver oil to boost vitamin A.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
