Episode 164: This week, Kyle Van Pelt talks with Kristina Baron, Co-Managing Partner and Managing Director at Oxford Financial Group. Kristina started in the industry as a high school intern in a financial advisor's office and later worked at Goldman Sachs before joining Oxford. Today she helps lead a team that serves roughly 700 families across the country. Kyle and Kristina explore what it takes to coordinate advice for families whose needs span investments, estate planning, taxes, trusts, outside advisors, and multiple generations. Kristina shares why understanding a family's values should precede any solution, how Oxford structures teams and communication to make complexity manageable, and why continuity depends on giving younger generations a voice. They also discuss data integrity, connected technology, practical AI applications, and Kristina's concerns about how consolidation and pressure for new revenue streams could reshape the RIA landscape. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (01:31) - Kristina's money moment (04:56) - Why understanding has to come before expertise (07:10) - Coordinating estate planning across jurisdictions (10:05) - Standing out when every firm says it serves families like yours (15:38) - Working alongside a family's other advisors (18:12) - Making a complex service model feel simple (19:46) - Planning for every generation of the family (23:23) - Why communication breaks down between generations (27:14) - Building the data foundation before layering on technology (30:08) - Where AI fits in serving ultra-high-net-worth families (33:33) - Kristina's outlook on the future of the wealth management industry (36:43) - Kristina's Milemarker Minute Key Takeaways Understand the family before designing the solution. Technical expertise only goes so far when several generations, advisors, and priorities are involved. Open-ended questions about values, concerns, and goals help determine what the family actually needs before specialists begin solving for it. Coordination matters as much as specialization. Complex families may work with attorneys, CPAs, insurance professionals, and multiple wealth managers at once. Shared communication, clearly assigned follow-up items, and a coordinated team help keep good individual advice from becoming a fragmented overall plan. Bring the next generation into the conversation before a transition happens. Continuity becomes harder when a family structure reflects only the founder generation's priorities. Families can preserve important values while still giving later generations enough context and voice to understand, engage with, and eventually help shape the plan. Build the data foundation before expecting more from AI. Clean information and connected systems reduce manual work and give AI more useful problems to solve. The opportunity is to accelerate analysis and information retrieval while preserving human judgment and the personal interaction that complex families still value. Quotes "Facts help drive decision-making, but I think feelings and values drive even more important decision-making." ~ Kristina Baron "We can't fool ourselves that we're the best at everything, so we need to work together as a team to accomplish it, and really understand what it is that you're trying to solve for." ~ Kristina Baron "There's a way to still hold true to the values of generation one, while also allowing conversations and evolution into what's really important for generation two and beyond." ~ Kristina Baron Links  Kristina Baron on LinkedIn Oxford Financial Group Jeffrey H.

Episode 19: The Big Five — A Framework for Relationship Health What actually makes a relationship thrive? In this episode of What We Were Never Taught, Dr. Dan presents The Big Five—five core relationship processes that help explain why some relationships deepen while others slowly deteriorate: connection, continuity, repair, reciprocity, and progression. This framework applies whether two people have been dating for three months or married for fifteen years. Dr. Dan examines what each process looks like early in dating and how the same process changes across the seasons of a long-term marriage. For each of the Big Five, he takes listeners into the therapy room with both a light conflict and a heavy conflict—showing how perspective-taking, emotional regulation, accountability, and communication can look very different when the issue is something relatively small versus something involving deep hurt, betrayal, resentment, or infidelity. Dr. Dan also introduces the idea of relationship momentum windows: seasons when a couple may be moving toward greater closeness or greater distance. During these windows, certain behaviors act as accelerators—curiosity, ownership, repair, generosity, affection, follow-through, and willingness to understand one another—while other behaviors become brakes, including contempt, defensiveness, withdrawal, scorekeeping, secrecy, repeated broken promises, and negative assumptions about a partner's motives. Some couples reach moments when the relationship appears close to ending, yet those same moments can become turning points if the couple begins relating differently. The episode explores how relationships can develop positive or negative momentum over time—and how small relational processes can eventually produce very large outcomes. Through clinical examples, personal reflection, and relationship research, Dr. Dan offers one of the podcast's most complete frameworks yet for understanding relationship health. Whether you are newly dating, trying to strengthen a long-term marriage, recovering from betrayal, or simply trying to understand why relationships succeed or fail, this episode provides a practical way to evaluate what is actually happening between two people. Connection creates closeness. Continuity creates security. Repair creates resilience. Reciprocity creates mutuality. Progression creates a shared life. And throughout all five, the question becomes: What is accelerating this relationship toward flourishing—and what is putting on the brakes? Love begins relationships. Skills sustain them.

The Department of Education and Digital Transformation is strengthening its capacity to keep Saint Lucia's education system functioning during emergencies and disasters. Education officials are advancing work on a comprehensive Continuity of Operations Plan, or COOP, designed to protect critical Ministry functions while ensuring that teaching and learning can continue following a major disruption.

Noah Springer, president of Extra Space Storage Inc. (NYSE: EXR) and its next CEO, spoke to the REIT Report about leadership continuity, fundamentals, and how scale, data, and operational efficiency are crucial elements supporting the REIT's performance.Springer, who becomes CEO at the start of 2027, emphasized the significant role that mentorship has played in his career at Extra Space and how working with three different CEOs, including current CEO Joe Margolis, has provided him with a diverse education in leadership. Continuity is not about stagnation, he said, but rather about focusing on what works while pushing for innovation.While the demand for storage remains steady, the supply environment is improving, he pointed out, creating a healthier backdrop for business operations. In the second quarter, same store revenue grew 2.4%. Springer attributed the gain to strong operational efficiency. He also highlighted that once the REIT's customers are in the facility, vacate rates are historically low.Chapters:00:00 Extra Space Outlook00:23 Meet Noah Springer00:51 Mentorship And Continuity02:49 Bench Strength Culture03:14 Fundamentals And Guidance05:14 Retention And Pricing05:39 Acquisitions Capital Playbook07:22 Third Party Platform Growth08:22 What Makes Partnerships Work09:31 Competitive Edge Scale Data10:47 Tech Culture And AI11:43 Fragmentation And Consolidation12:24 Industry Changes Ahead12:55 Closing Thoughts And Wrap

Automation keeps the world’s most essential industries running safely and reliably. But how can industries modernize without disrupting operations? In this episode of Industry Optimized, host Fran Scott speaks with Per Erik Holsten, President at ABB's Energy Industries division, and Joachim Braun, President at ABB's Process Industries division, about how industries can adopt new capabilities while protecting the core of their operations. They discuss Automation Extended, ABB's approach to separating core control from digital innovation, enabling customers to modernize at their own pace while maximizing existing investments and minimizing disruption. We also hear how this works in action from Matthijs Zwart at Vitens and Jenny Gotthardsson at Södra Cell.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Scott Dolson started planning the department response to IU winning the national championship on the flight home from the game. He wanted this to be a sustainable situation at IU where they can live up to President Whitten's ambitious call to action to be excellent in everything. I made the short drive to Bloomington to sit down with Dolson and ask him questions about leadership, true presidential alignment, and a behind-the-scenes look of selecting Coach Cignetti and two men's basketball head coach searches. Dolson explains why he doesn't like to work with panickers and what it means to be a cabinet member in his opinion. Dolson shares how he learned to ask other people things he didn't know, a lesson he picked up from Bob Knight a long time ago when Dolson was a men's basketball student manager. Dolson wraps the conversation talking about the responsibility of an AD getting involved in governance at the conference level and participating in congressional conversations and the POTUS round table on saving college sports.0:00 Introduction1:05 Sustaining Next Level of Athletic Success2:55 Dolson's Experience with President Whitten During College Athletics Chaos7:01 Compartmentalizing Meeting Subjects and Staying Focused as an AD9:57 Thought Process of Research for Position Profiles in Football and Men's Basketball Head Coach Searches17:20 Continuity of the Senior Staff22:20 Leadership Lesson Dolson Learned from Coach Bob Knight26:01 Dolson's Advice on the Cabinet Position for ADs30:43 ADs Going to Congressional Hearings and the White House VisitAD Vantage empowers athletic directors with comprehensive staff data, performance analytics, and AI-powered candidate insights to make smarter hiring, compensation, and retention decisions in an era where every dollar counts.

WHEN CONNECTION ISN'T ENOUGH Episode 18 | What We Were Never Taught How can two people genuinely love each other, remain committed to their marriage, and still feel profoundly disconnected? I've seen couples experience extraordinary moments of closeness. They sit together for hours, share their feelings, remember why they fell in love, and promise to make their relationship a priority. For a moment, everything feels different. But then life resumes. Work gets busy. Responsibilities take over. The conversations become less frequent, the promises lose momentum, and the same disappointments return. The connection was real. So why didn't it last? I've spent years reflecting on this question, both professionally and personally. My own marriage ended, and that experience has deepened my appreciation for how much more a lasting relationship requires than love and good intentions. In Episode 18 of What We Were Never Taught, I explore three essentials of a lasting marriage. Connection: Do we still feel emotionally known, understood, and valued? Continuity: Are we consistently doing the things that demonstrate our commitment, or are we relying on occasional moments of closeness? Repair: When we hurt one another, do we actually address the injury and change our behavior, or do we simply reconnect until the same problem returns? A wonderful conversation can restore hope. An apology can begin healing. But neither replaces the consistent actions that help build trust over time. I believe marriage is worth investing in. And part of that investment is learning how to listen, take responsibility, follow through, and continue getting to know the person beside us as life changes. Connection brings us close. Continuity helps us remain close. Repair helps us find our way back when we've lost that closeness. These are some of the relationship skills we were never taught.

It is the word of God spoken by the pastors, and their faithfulness to the gospel even under persecution that is to be remembered and followed, not the leaders themselves per se.God has so designed the government of His church that though leaders may come and go, there is a continuity that stabilizes the church and secures its future.

VFW National Commander Cory Geisler and National Legislative Committee Vice Chairman Staci Boyer join hosts Rob Couture and Brittany Dymond Murray, along with VFW Washington Office Executive Director Ryan Gallucci, for a wide-ranging conversation from the VFW Fall Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C. The group takes listeners inside the conference, from preparing new National Legislative Committee members to the evolving training that helps VFW advocates effectively communicate with lawmakers, staff and the media. Stacie reflects on her first year on the committee and discusses how personal stories can bring veterans' issues to life, including conversations surrounding Section 108, the Major Richard Star Act, the TAP Promotion Act, written informed consent and continuity of care. With campaign season underway, the conversation turns to political engagement at the VFW Post level. The group discusses Post facility rentals, town halls, candidate forums, campaign materials, VFW members running for office and the distinction between advocating for veterans' issues and creating the appearance of a political endorsement. Later, Cory breaks down Warrior Fitness Challenge, his initiative encouraging VFW members and veterans to get up, get moving and make physical activity part of their everyday lives. Staci, a competitive bodybuilder and gym owner, joins the discussion on strength training, consistency and ways Posts can encourage veterans of all ages and ability levels to become more active. Finally, Ryan digs into the VFW archives with a September 1926 issue of Foreign Service magazine. A century later, the parallels are striking: advocating for veterans' earned benefits, protecting veterans from exploitation and helping hospitalized veterans remain physically active.   Hosts: Rob Couture – Director, VFW Public Affairs & Strategic Outreach Brittany Dymond Murray – Associate Director, VFW Public Affairs & Strategic Outreach   Featured Guests: Cory Geisler – VFW National Commander Staci Boyer – Vice Chairman, VFW National Legislative Committee Ryan Gallucci – Executive Director, VFW Washington Office; Assistant Adjutant General   Episode Highlights: 0:00 – Intro and Roll Call 3:47 – VFW Fall Legislative Conference 4:12 – Welcoming New National Legislative Committee Members 6:49 – Mobilizing VFW Advocates and Section 108 10:54 – How Advocate Training Has Evolved 12:04 – Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Advocacy Training 14:03 – Preparing VFW Advocates to Work With the Media 19:34 – Legislative Priorities and Meetings on Capitol Hill 21:54 – A Veteran's Story Demonstrates the Stakes of Advocacy 25:22 – Why Storytelling Matters 27:13 – Navigating Complex Veterans' Issues in Congress 29:46 – Continuity of Care and the TAP Promotion Act 31:22 – Cory on the Power of Personal Stories 35:19 – Challenging Lawmakers to See Programs Firsthand 37:23 – Campaign Season and VFW Political Engagement 39:03 – Post Rentals, Candidates and Avoiding Implied Endorsements 42:57 – Town Halls, Candidate Appearances and Post Events 46:13 – VFW Members Running for Office 47:44 – Lessons From a Nonpartisan Candidate Forum 51:15 – Wearing VFW Identifiers at Political Events 53:09 – Speaking as an Individual vs. Speaking for the VFW 54:40 – Warrior Fitness 58:31 – VFW Leaders and Members Getting Moving 1:00:00 – Strength Training and Women Veterans 1:02:29 – Bringing Fitness and Wellness to the Post Level 1:03:55 – What Was the VFW Doing 100 Years Ago? 1:05:03 – Inside the September 1926 Foreign Service 1:06:45 – Veterans' Benefits and Wellness, Then and Now 1:07:59 – Good of the Order 1:09:05 – Cory Meets a Virginia Post Charter Member 1:10:49 – Remembering the 25th Anniversary of 9/11 1:13:03 – Ask the VFW 1:14:30 – Brittany Reconnects With Her First VFW Post 1:14:50 – Rob Runs Into an Old Teammate at the Pentagon Memorial 1:16:10 – Closing Thoughts

Bradley University head coach Brian Wardle, discussing his coaching philosophy and defensive systems. Coach Wardle shared his approach to building team defense around "flat triangles" positioning and gap defense, emphasizing the importance of consistency in practice with 30 minutes daily dedicated to defensive work including shell drills and breakdowns. He discussed his evolution from being the youngest Division I head coach at 30 to his current role at Bradley, where he's been challenged by new leadership to increase community engagement and fundraising efforts. The conversation covered his offensive philosophy focusing on ball screen continuity with decision-making grading systems, his approach to shooting development through structured practice time and individual player assessment, and the adjustments needed when transitioning from smaller guards to a longer, bigger lineup. Coach Wardle also emphasized the importance of meaningful talk over excessive verbal coaching during practices and highlighted his focus on developing players' listening skills to improve team communication.

We don't meditate to get good at meditation. Instead, our practice lays the ground for awareness which we, hopefully, carry throughout our days. Continuity of mindfulness is a phrase which conveys this idea. In this talk Mary talks about Thich Nhat Hanh's book, Peace is Every Breath, which brings practice down to the most mundane parts of our lives like brushing teeth and making breakfast. The sacred is right here all the time when we're aware.Recorded Sept. 12, 2026 in the virtual worldSend me a text with any questions or comments!

Interview with Troy Boisjoli, CEO of ATHA EnergyOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/atha-energy-tsxvsask-district-scale-uranium-play-builds-momentum-with-dual-discoveries-11012Recording date: 8th September 2026ATHA Energy Corp. (TSXV:SASK) is a Canadian uranium explorer built around a strategy of maximising exposure to the country's best uranium jurisdictions before committing capital to resource definition. Founded three years ago, the company grew from an initial 3.5-million-acre position in the Athabasca Basin to a seven-million-acre portfolio spanning the Athabasca Basin (Saskatchewan), the Angikuni Basin (Nunavut) and the Central Mineral Belt (Labrador), while retaining a 10% carried interest in Athabasca Basin projects operated by NexGen Energy and IsoEnergy.The company's flagship is the 100%-owned Angilak Uranium Project in Nunavut, which hosts two parallel value drivers: the Lac 50 Deposit Corridor, carrying an existing exploration target of 61 to 98 million pounds U3O8, and the Mineralized RIB Corridor, where 2025 drilling produced four new discoveries including RIB North.ATHA reported results from seven additional RIB North drillholes, extending confirmed mineralisation continuity from 300 metres to 1.45 kilometres along the corridor's eastern limb. The standout intersection returned 20.0 metres of composite uranium mineralisation across fifteen zones, including 1.3 metres of high-grade material defined by the company as exceeding 10,000 counts per second on its downhole gamma probe. A separate horizon on the western limb was extended to approximately 220 metres of strike via follow-up drilling. None of this work has yet been converted into a formal resource estimate, and the corridor remains open in every direction.CEO Troy Boisjoli, a former Cameco chief geologist who led the Rook I project through to feasibility, framed the results as evidence of a deliberate, staged strategy: address discovery risk first through widely spaced regional drilling, then prove continuity, then move into delineation. He argues this sequencing, rather than rushing toward a resource statement, is what reduces execution risk for a company at ATHA's stage. VP Exploration Cliff Revering, previously a senior resource geologist at Cameco and chief geologist at Cigar Lake during its production ramp-up, leads the technical program alongside him.Management's emerging geological thesis is one of the more distinctive elements of the story. Rather than a conventional Athabasca Basin-style unconformity system, ATHA believes Angilak's basement-hosted, structurally controlled mineralisation behaves more like an orogenic gold system, with graphitic and sulphide-bearing structures making conductive geology itself prospective, rather than a background feature unrelated to mineralisation. If the model holds up against 3D geophysical inversion results due across the full Angikuni Basin in Q4 2026, management believes it could support drill targets across a structural trend extending tens of kilometres, well beyond the roughly 1.45 kilometres tested to date.The company enters that catalyst window well capitalised, having raised $63 million in Q1 2026, including a $25 million US investment from Queen's Road Capital, funding a three-rig, roughly 20,000-metre program running through the end of September 2026. Investors could weigh the scale of the opportunity management describes against the fact that no resource has yet been defined at either RIB North or the broader corridor, and that the company itself says it cannot currently quantify the eventual size of the system.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/atha-energySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com/subscribe

Tread Perilously's Star Trek month continues with an episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds called "A Quality of Mercy." When Captain Christopher Pike considers altering the fate he has been dreading since his year in command of the U.S.S. Discovery, a future version of himself makes him leap into the events of "Balance of Terror" -- only he's still in command of the Enterprise. Will he make the same choices as James T. Kirk? Or will his wish to save everyone lead the Federation into another prolonged war. Also, whose fate among the Enterprise crew is crucial to future events? Erik and Justin consider the Kurtzman Era of Star Trek via a legacy sequel (or is it a requel?) to one of The Original Series' best episodes. Continuity and Enterprise also come into question. Erik marvels at how much Akiva Goldsman gets Trek. Justin reconsiders Joel Schumacher. The pair debate a recent Strange New Worlds episode inspired by soap operas. Erik removes Kirk from William Shatner. Sarek's abilities as a father are doubted. The pair also consider Trek's tendency to equate promotion to admiral with death. Justin's attempt to use Middle-earth mythology gets an immediate correction and Babylon 5 cannot help but make another return.

This week's episode of Win The Hour, Win The Day Podcast interviews, Michelle B. Griffin. People started booking calls with her and telling her an AI sent them. That's Michelle B. Griffin, and she's back on the show because she went and found out why it was happening. She asks every person who books how they found her. It's a question on her scheduler and she actually reads the answers. Then the answers started changing. Somebody said they asked Claude about personal branding and her name came up. Then it happened again, and again, and it stopped looking like a fluke. Here's the shift. People aren't only searching now, they're asking. Who's the best person for this. And what comes back is a recommendation, not a page of rankings. I've been on hundreds of podcasts, we write blogs every week, there's a book on Amazon, and I've got my own show. So I asked her the selfish question, which is whether we're in better shape than we were back when the whole game was chasing back links into bigger websites. She said yes, because the work moved. It isn't chasing anymore. It's whether the trail you already left says the same clear thing everywhere. Her framework is three Cs. Clarity, so you're positioned for something instead of being one of thousands of business coaches. Credibility, which means third party proof, because AI doesn't want your word for it. Continuity, which means recent, because if every clue about you is from 2019 you're clearly not in the mix. And she gave one thing you can do this week. Open a private window, log out of every paid AI account so it doesn't know it's you, and ask who you are and what you're known for. Then ask who's the best in your lane and see if you show up. She found out she'd been featured in Success Magazine months earlier and had no idea.

Indiana football is trying to do something almost impossible: follow up a 16-0 national championship season by proving the program is not a one-year miracle. In Part 2 of CrimsonCast's 2026 season preview, Galen Clavio and Scott Caulfield look beyond the schedule and dig into the biggest questions that will define Curt Cignetti's third Indiana team.The conversation starts with the most obvious question: what does Indiana have at quarterback after Fernando Mendoza? Galen and Scott compare Mendoza's extraordinary 2025 season to what Josh Hoover brings into the offense, asking whether Hoover needs to recreate Mendoza's late-game magic or whether he can make Indiana better in a different way. They also revisit how Cignetti and Mike Shanahan have already shown the ability to take strong quarterback play and build an even higher offensive ceiling.From there, the preview shifts into the deeper championship-repeat questions. Can Indiana maintain the same player-led culture after losing leaders like Mendoza, Elijah Sarratt, Omar Cooper Jr., Pat Coogan, Riley Nowakowski, and D'Angelo Ponds? How much of IU's rise was tied to the original James Madison transfer core, and how much is now embedded into the program itself? Galen and Scott look at three years of Cignetti transfer classes, coordinator continuity with Bryant Haines, Mike Shanahan, and Grant Cain, and the way IU keeps finding players who fit its system better than the recruiting rankings suggest.The second half tackles injury luck, depth, eligibility uncertainty around Stephen Daley and Kellen Wyatt, the difference between star-studded depth and functional depth, and why Indiana may be better prepared than national analysts assume. The episode closes with a bigger psychological question: can Indiana avoid the post-championship “disease of me” and keep the same self-policing, team-first culture that made last year's run possible?Subscribe to the Back Home Network for more CrimsonCast coverage of Indiana football, IU athletics, Curt Cignetti, the Hoosiers, Big Ten football, and the 2026 college football season.

They also discuss the defense's lack of continuity, Jayden Daniels' development and expectations for the new offense.

SUMMARYJacob and Evan revisit Mercy Mission and Nomad Droids, two of the most overlooked episodes in The Clone Wars, to determine whether they're unfairly dismissed or simply forgettable. While the humanitarian premise and expanded look at the galaxy offer some interesting ideas, both hosts agree the execution leaves much to be desired.The discussion explores whether R2-D2 and C-3PO demonstrate true heroism, how much these episodes actually contribute to the wider Clone Wars narrative, and whether the world-building is enough to justify what many fans consider filler. Along the way, they compare these episodes to stronger droid stories, discuss continuity references, and debate whether these episodes deserve a place in a first-time viewing order.KEYWORDSClone Wars Mercy MissionClone Wars Nomad DroidsR2-D2 Clone WarsC-3PO Clone WarsClone Wars filler episodesClone Wars Season 4Mercy Mission reviewNomad Droids reviewClone Wars podcastStar Wars world buildingClone Wars episode rankingStar Wars discussionTIMESTAMPS00:00:06 - Introduction and first impressions of the arc00:01:15 - Why these episodes are so often forgotten00:03:34 - The Patitites and the strange world of Balnab00:06:50 - Why Nomad Droids feels repetitive00:07:46 - Comedy sponsor break: Republic GPS00:08:37 - Does this arc prove heroism isn't limited to Jedi and clones?00:11:24 - Heroism through luck vs intentional sacrifice00:13:00 - What these episodes say about civilians during the Clone Wars00:17:07 - Are these episodes unfairly dismissed or just filler?00:21:31 - Would you recommend this arc to first-time viewers?00:24:51 - Is R2-D2 the most consistently competent Star Wars character?00:26:01 - Continuity references and fun production trivia

No one who seeks sincerely will find barriers to achieving knowledge of the higher worlds, for initiation will find the seeker whatever the circumstances. There is a universal law among initiates that the knowledge due a seeker cannot be withheld. But there is also another universal law that esoteric knowledge may not be imparted to anyone not qualified to receive it. These two laws form the spiritual bond that unites all initiates.In his book How To Know Higher Worlds, Austrian philosopher and esotericist Rudolf Steiner describes the inner work required for developing spiritual perception. While we perceive the physical world through our ordinary senses, Steiner states that the supersensible world can be perceived through what he calls “spiritual organs of perception.” These faculties lie dormant within us and can be awakened through specific exercises and practices.Insight into the higher worlds is not impractical, but rather practical to the highest degree. Such experiences do not alienate us from life; rather, they give us renewed strength to carry out our daily duties.The decision to undertake such development must arise freely from within; no one can be compelled to follow this path. “Above all, we must eradicate the belief that only bizarre and mysterious practices lead to higher knowledge. We must be clear that development begins with the feelings and thoughts we live with all the time, but that these feelings and thoughts must be given a new, unaccustomed direction.” – Rudolf Steiner

What if continuity is even more fundamental than tensegrity?In this special episode of Sacred Geometry, Joanne is joined in person by clinical anatomist and exercise physiologist John Sharkey for a wide-ranging conversation about fascia, tensegrity and the living architecture of the human body.You might prefer to watch this episode on YouTube as there are a couple of brief references to a visual model (the 'Skwish') held up by Joanne and John.Together, they revisit the ideas explored throughout Series 2 - from Leonardo da Vinci and Kenneth Snelson to Buckminster Fuller, Tom Flemons and Donald Ingber - and ask where those discoveries take us now…John explores why fascia may be better understood as something that transcends the body's individual systems, how living geometry continually adapts through movement and time, and how no two bodies ever express that architecture in quite the same way. This fascinating conversation also covers fasciategrity, stochasticity, force transmission, the spiral architecture of the heart (!) and what decades of anatomical dissection continue to reveal about human form.It's a conversation about continuity, curiosity and the questions still waiting to be asked, with plenty of stories from Joanne and John's years of working and teaching together.Subscribe to continue the journey. There's one final episode of Series 2 still to come, and Joanne has something special waiting for you there.Links to some of John Sharkey's most recent papers:https://www.mdpi.com/2075-1729/15/12/1924https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42458875/ SIGN UP TO THE JOANNE AVISON NEWSLETTERSimply scroll down to ‘Stay Connected' and pop in your details.

Thanks to our partners Promotive, WickedFile, Maverick Shop Owners, and OverdryveWhy do two auto repair shops with virtually identical profits sell for wildly different amounts, one at a nine-time multiple and another at three? And if you're not planning to sell anytime soon, does any of this even apply to you?Recording a preview of the class he's teaching live at the STX World Pac Conference in DC, Hunt Demarest breaks down the factors that quietly decide what your shop is actually worth when a buyer sits down at the table. Hunt walks through why timing your exit three to five years out changes everything, why one client's prized fleet contract almost killed his sale, and why buyers pay for a business that runs without you, not a high-paying job with your name on it. Along the way, he covers the optics of clean financials, how far you can push ad backs before a bank or a buyer walks away, and why new equipment won't add a dollar to your sale price, even though old equipment will cost you one.Whether you're planning to sell next year or you never plan to sell at all, this episode lays out the groundwork every shop owner needs long before a buyer ever walks through the door.What You'll Learn…01:18) Why Hunt is previewing his STX class on maximizing shop value(03:40) The World Pac Conference and why this class exists(05:54) Why identical shops sell for wildly different multiples(06:20) Timing: the 3 to 5 year rule before you sell(08:09) Your shop is your retirement plan, whether you planned it that way or not(10:31) Customer concentration: the fleet account red flag buyers watch for(12:52) The ambulance contract that nearly killed a client's sale(15:21) Continuity: buyers pay for a business, not a job(17:17) Clean financials: why optics matter as much as the bottom line(19:16) Ad backs: how much "creative" bookkeeping a buyer or a bank will accept(21:36) Equipment: the double-edged sword of new gearResources MentionedGet the FREE 2026 Auto Shop Benchmark Report: https://hubs.ly/Q04j-grh0Get Hunt's Book: Beyond the Bays, on Amazon: https://a.co/d/0iQ3UuOLGot questions or feedback, connect with Hunt Demarest at:Email: podcast@paarmelis.comWebsite: https://www.paarmelis.comThanks to our partner, PromotivePromotive has over 40 years of recruiting and automotive experience.

Episode Summary In this episode of the Work at Home RockStar Podcast, Tim Melanson chats with Robert Siciliano, owner of Protect Now LLC, about building a long-term work-from-home solopreneur business and the security habits every remote entrepreneur needs to avoid scams, data breaches, and account takeovers. Robert shares his biggest business mistake, hiring "experts" without fully understanding the work himself, and how AI is now helping people shorten that learning curve by researching and asking better questions before they hire. He also explains how criminals are using AI to scale phishing and fraud, and why the "attack surface" for remote workers has grown so much since COVID. The conversation dives into the core protections every work-from-home business owner should have in place: unique long, strong passwords, a password manager, and two-factor authentication, along with VPNs on public Wi-Fi. Robert walks through his "strategic human firewall" mindset, moving from trust by default to verifying everything, and touches on the next evolution of password security, passkeys. Who is Robert Siciliano? Recognized as the media's go-to cybersecurity expert and creator of The Strategic Human Firewall™, Robert Siciliano is a private investigator, Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), and the CEO of Protect Now, LLC. As one of the nation's most trusted voices on cybercrime and identity theft, he has built an unparalleled media track record, appearing on over 500 television shows, contributing to over 1,000 radio programs, and being featured as an expert source in over 3,000 articles. A fierce advocate for personal and professional security, Robert is the architect of the CSI Protection certification and a bestselling author who strips away technical jargon to deliver "straight talk" solutions. His expertise is regularly sought by every major network, including CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and The Today Show, where he empowers viewers to protect their data, privacy, and wealth from modern threats. During the episode, Robert also shared that he has been a solopreneur since early 2001 and, in his own words, considers himself "unemployable" at this point, having built his business entirely around working on his own schedule.

Almost one year on from his election as leader of the Green Party, has Zack Polanski broadened its appeal? Communications strategist and Green Party insider Russell Warfield joins Noa Hoffman to discuss his new book The Green Socialist: Zack Polanski & the Battle for Britain's Future. In it, Warfield makes the argument that Polanski marks more of a continuum for the modern British Green Party – a natural next step for a party seeking to broaden its appeal, rather than the more radical change candidate he has been portrayed as across parts of the media.Polanski undoubtably achieved new heights for the party – Gorton & Denton was their first ever by-election win – but recent polls show them losing momentum, and the election of Andy Burnham as Labour leader is seen to have stunted their progress. What should Polanski do next?Produced by Henry Lloyd and Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

In part two of our deep dive into China (and part four of our socialist organization series), we break down how Mao attempted to dialectically sublate a national front and a united front. We explore the structural inclusion of the "patriotic national bourgeoisie" into the block of four classes (symbolized by the stars on the Chinese flag) and contrast it with classical Soviet developmental theory and orthodox Marxism.We also dive into:- The historical debate between Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao, Lenin, and Trotsky.- Why modern "Hoxhaists" and Left Communists consider New Democracy to be revisionist.- The evolution of class structures under Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zemin's "Three Represents" doctrine (allowing billionaires into the Party).- The reality of modern China's development: Is it a transitioning socialist project, or an hyper-competent form of state capitalism and developmental liberalism?Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell for Episode 5, where we pivot to National Frontism and National Bolshevism.Journal ArticlesDirlik, A.

Welcome to How to Decorate from Ballard Designs! While the team takes a short summer break, they are re-sharing a handful of their all-time favorite podcast episodes. Today, Caroline, Taryn, and Liz sit down with American interior designer David Jimenez to discuss his path to living in Paris and his Rizzoli book, Parisian by Design: Interiors by David Jimenez. David shares the secrets behind effortless Parisian style, the art of layering, and how to create deeply personal spaces filled with joy and memories. Quick Decorating Takeaways: Embrace Antiques for Continuity: The French are known for holding onto the pieces they buy and passing them down through their families. Bringing familiar, story-filled antiques into a new home offers a comforting and reassuring atmosphere. Curate a "Salon Style" Gallery Wall: To replicate the gallery walls seen in the Louvre Museum, start hanging artwork on thin metal rods right under your room's ceiling molding. Mix Finishes Fearlessly: Do not feel constrained by strict design rules regarding matching wood or metal finishes. Mixing dark and light woods, or nickel and brass, brings energy and vital contrast to a room. Leverage Large-Scale Pieces: Create dramatic "highs and lows" in your spaces by mixing oversized items with smaller ones. A large piece of art or a tall secretary desk provides visual surprise and hierarchy. Utilize Decorative Screens: Room dividers can introduce subtle layers of texture and color, or serve a highly practical purpose like masking an unattractive view outside a window without blocking the natural sunlight. Anchor with Black: Black serves as an excellent underlying punctuation mark in a room. Using black lampshades is a reliable way to add contrast and prevent a space from feeling too monotonous. What You'll Hear on This Episode: 00:00 An introduction to the summer "best of" series and a warm welcome to guest David Jimenez. 04:52 David's career journey, starting as a Gap salesperson and leading to his relocation to reinvent a historic French brand. 08:37 The beauty of investing in antiques and the reassurance of bringing familiar furniture into new spaces. 13:55 How to casually layer your decor over the course of a relaxing afternoon. 16:27 Tips for constructing a Louvre-inspired gallery wall with high placements and metal rods. 20:20 Why breaking traditional design rules about wood and metal finishes breathes life into a room. 23:02 Using scale and oversized pieces to create necessary visual drama. 25:37 Practical and aesthetic applications for decorative folding screens. 29:02 The inspiration behind David's favored 7cm-wide black and white striped curtains from the Marché Saint-Pierre. 32:25 Why black lampshades and pops of dual-tone colors help ground a space. 34:29 How observing master designers like Madeleine Castaing can influence your own design choices. 37:23 Exploring the second half of David's book, featuring an insider's guide to Parisian artisans and shopping destinations. 41:01 The crucial etiquette for shopping at French flea markets, starting with a polite greeting. 44:07 Finding bold color inspiration within historic French museums and former homes. 51:29 Details on where to purchase Parisian by Design and where to follow David's work online.

Welcome Brave Lovers! In today's episode we are talking about how we can achieve better communication even if we have very different communication styles. Laurie and George discuss the idea of relationship continuity. Partners remember something that is important to the other and bring it up or initiate connection. Listen in as they discuss some of the differences between men and women's brains and positive ways to stretch beyond me and care for "us." They offer an expert roleplay to break down to listeners how to get back on track to attunement when continuity is disrupted. A great reminder, it's not just you or me, it's also "we."
