When we first met Ruthie Jones, we knew she had an incredible story. A Division I soccer goalie at Duke. A first-year student at Weill Cornell Medicine. But what surprised us most wasn't her resume—it was the way she thinks.Ruthie shares how growing up in a family of athletes taught her confidence, resilience, and teamwork, why one decision at age 11 changed the course of her life, and how the mindset she developed as a goalkeeper has prepared her for the challenges of becoming a doctor.We also talk about what life is really like as a first-year medical student, balancing athletics with academics, anatomy lab and cadavers (yeesh), moving to New York City after Duke, and the friendships she's found at Weill Cornell. Plus, we couldn't resist talking about our medical pet peeves.It's a great story of how remarkable people find their paths. We loved her!Shout out to her whole family and especially to her brother, Daniel Jones for bringing us all together. And a thank you too to Jack Gitlin - the Jones friendship started with him.Not sponsored by or affiliated with Cornell University

— What separates those who thrive from those who remain stuck? Is success determined by talent, circumstances, or something deeper? In today's conversation, we explore the power of mindset and how the way we think shapes the way we live. We'll discuss how limiting beliefs can quietly hold us back, why resilience is often more important than talent, and how our thoughts, emotions, and daily habits influence the results we create in our lives. We'll also dive into the relationship between mindset, manifestation, and purposeful action—examining how lasting transformation occurs when we align our vision with consistent effort. Along the way, we'll explore practical tools for overcoming self-doubt, navigating setbacks, cultivating confidence, and developing the mental resilience needed to pursue our dreams. At its heart, this conversation is about becoming the person capable of creating the life you desire—not through luck or circumstance, but through intentional awareness, growth, and action. It is an invitation to discover how changing your mindset can open the door to greater success, fulfillment, meaning, and joy.

He is the author of Between Fixed and Fickle: Why Our Moral Views Keep Changing. In this episode, we focus on Between Fixed and Fickle. We talk about morality from a psychological perspective, common views people have about morality, and how we acquire our moral values. We discuss how moral change occurs, the role played by reasoning, and post-hoc rationalization and moral dumbfounding. We also discuss why people from different time periods have different moral values, and why people participate in atrocities. Finally, we talk about whether moral psychology has anything to contribute to the debate as to whether there are objective moral truths, and whether moral philosophy is nothing more than post-hoc rationalization.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

In this episode Don Donderi is talking about his book 'Truth, Lies and ETs: How We Stumbled into the Universe'. Earth is in the middle of a revolution. It might lead us to more knowledge about ourselves, our place in the universe and the universe itself, or it might lead us to catastrophe. This book is a report on seventy-five years of history during which extraterrestrials (ETs) and their extraterrestrial vehicles (ETVs;, which used to be called UFOs) – have made themselves a part of life on earth. Don Donderi, psychology professor at McGill University in Montreal (retired), tells us in Truth, Lies and ETs: How we Stumbled into the Universe, that Alien visitors have been kidnapping humans and treating us like specimens for at least 75 years. Beginning during the last years of World War 2, visitors from elsewhere in the Universe began arriving in their “flying saucers.” They haven't left, and have been observing and experimenting with us ever since. The uninvited extraterrestrial visitors (ETs) kidnap and examine people; interfere with human reproduction to create hybrid human-aliens, and come and go as they please. While every part of this story has been told before by careful and dedicated researchers, Donderi assembles it all into one easily accessible volume that makes it hard to ignore: what is really happening (Truth), how governments have tried to conceal what is happening (Lies), and who is doing this to us (ETs) His book is a concise summary of our current uncertain status on the planet that we used to think was ours alone. It brings together facts that, taken one at a time, might easily be dismissed, forgotten or ignored. But when the simultaneous impact of all the facts are considered, one conclusion is inescapable, that we humans are no longer masters of our planet. Extraterrestrials treat us the way we routinely treat earth's lesser species: tracking, capturing, and breeding them and keeping them under surveillance. We have to realize that this is happening before we can act together to regain control of our destiny on earth. Bio Don Donderi was educated at the University of Chicago, which he entered at 15. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree at 18 and a B.Sc. in biological psychology at 21. He began his professional career as a research psychologist with IBM where he helped to develop radar navigation displays for the B-52 bomber. After graduating from Cornell University with a PhD in experimental psychology he joined the Faculty of Science of McGill University, where he taught undergraduate psychology, trained PhD students and served as Associate Dean of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research. He retired from McGill in 2009 after a career of 47 years. He has written over one hundred basic research papers and technical reports dealing with the science of human visual perception and memory, co-authored one textbook and edited another. He co-founded a Toronto-based ergonomics consulting company and has carried out applied research and development projects for private and government clients on topics including flight instrumentation, flight simulation, marine navigation in ocean and arctic environments, nuclear safety and chemical process engineering. His entire career has been in the mainstream of science and engineering. https://www.amazon.com/Truth-Lies-ETs-Stumbled-Universe/dp/1952439280/ https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcasthttps://simonbown.com/My new book, Aspects of Alien Abduction https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9YZen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_ufo Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome back to ARTMATTERS: The Podcast for ArtistsMy guest today is artist and writer Matthew Weinstein. Over the course of his career, Matthew has exhibited extensively in museums and galleries throughout the United States and internationally. His solo museum exhibitions include the Johnson Museum at Cornell University, the Orlando Museum of Art, the Mint Museum, the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, and the Kunsthalle Wien in Vienna. In addition to painting, his practice has also included writing, animation, film, and interactive media. His work has been featured in The New York Times, T Magazine, Artforum, Art in America, and The New Yorker, and is held in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Hirshhorn Museum, the Yale University Art Gallery, the Denver Art Museum, and numerous other public and private collections.I sat down with Matthew in his Greenpoint studio, where he told me why he believes every painting has a beauty mandate and why he distrusts art whose primary goal is to mean something, saying that meaning can feel like litter in a painting. We discuss beauty versus prettiness, humor, queerness, and the way doubt and impatience are ever-present in his studio practice.Matthew also reflects on obsession, arguing that for some artists it isn't a choice, and that it is neither good nor bad, but simply the thing that fuels the work. We discuss the creative crisis that led him to explore animation and why painting and writing remain the bedrock of everything he does. Matthew also discusses his airbrush collaboration paintings, the influence the artist Hiroshege has had on his current work and why it has taken Matthew years to figure out how to paint a straight line.

"You have to figure out how to make self-care a priority because you know the body does not sit still... Your mindset will allow you to move forward, or it will take you backwards." —Dr. Mitra Ray Stanford-trained biologist Dr. Mitra Ray spent three decades building a career in women's longevity, but the habits she taught everyone else became something she never expected: the infrastructure that kept her upright after her husband, Doug, died suddenly in a paragliding accident in October 2023. In this conversation with host Justine Reichman, Dr. Ray traces her path from NIH- and Alzheimer's-funded cancer research to walking away from the lab, building a word-of-mouth wellness brand that sold 2 million copies with zero advertising, and eventually testing her own biological age during the hardest year of her life — and watching it go backward. This episode is for anyone navigating midlife, grief, perimenopause, or the quiet realization that the wellness habits they've dismissed as trendy might be the thing holding them together. Dr. Ray and Justine talk candidly about cold plunging, sobriety, plant-based nutrition, sleep science, and the gut-microbiome research behind cravings — grounding every claim in the biology, not the buzzwords. Key takeaways: Dr. Ray's biological age measurably reversed during the year she grieved her husband, evidence that consistent habits can outperform circumstance. Comparing your current body to a memory of your 25-year-old self is biologically counterproductive — memories change every time you access them, and the comparison itself triggers cortisol and inflammation. Cold plunging activates the anterior mid-cingulate cortex, the brain region tied to willpower and will to live, which Dr. Ray leaned on deliberately after losing Doug. Food cravings are largely dictated by gut bacteria, not willpower — feeding plant-based bacteria gradually shifts what your body craves. "Superagers" in their 80s are still generating new neurons, making neurogenesis — not a return to a younger self — the more useful benchmark for healthy aging. Grief lives in the body: cortisol, thyroid, and hormone levels shift during loss, and naming that process without judgment is part of recovering from it. Listen to the full conversation and subscribe to Essential Ingredients for more real conversations at the intersection of food, purpose, and building a better future: https://tinyurl.com/Essential-Ingredients-Podcast Meet Dr. Ray: Living a long, healthy life is not as complicated as the wellness industry would have you believe. Dr. Mitra Ray has spent more than 30 years helping people understand this, and more importantly, live it. Her path into health was shaped by both rigorous science and lived experience. She completed her undergraduate degree at Cornell University and earned her PhD from Stanford Medical School, where her research was funded by multiple NIH grants and recognized with the Young Investigator Award from the Federation of American Societies in Experimental Biology. Her work has been published in Science, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and the Journal of Cell Biology: journals that do not publish ideas lightly. But credentials alone do not explain why audiences across four continents keep coming back to hear her speak, or why her books and lectures on health, beauty, brain function, and longevity have resonated as widely as they have. The reason is simpler: she translates what the science actually says into something you can do and sustain. Her focus has always been whole plant foods, an active body, and a clear mind. These three things, she has come to understand, are not a wellness trend. They are the foundation. Everything downstream of that foundation- how you look, how you feel, how you age- follows. The Elder's Evolution, her Substack publication, is where she writes about what it means to age well, with full attention paid to both the biology and the deeper questions that biology alone cannot answer.

Who are the mentors in your life that you are learning from? Are they leading you to God or down the wrong path? In this episode, Jeff and Mark discuss: Doing the right thing even when nobody else is. The importance of following the compass of the Lord, not of mammon. Seeing the miracles of God in the worst moments of our lives. Introducing God to others through your business. Key Takeaways: If you don't have God, money will become your God. If you find yourself going down the wrong path, change your mentor, and you will change your whole future. God and purpose will fill the voids in your life far more than money or notoriety ever will. As long as it remains optional, you can absolutely talk about faith and have a chaplain in your business. Be bold about your service to God. Legally, you gain protections because people know who you are, know what you're about, and know your values from the get-go. You can never go wrong by doing the right thing. "Show me your mentor, and I'll show you your future." — Mark Whitacre About Mark Whitacre: Mark Whitacre has been engaged with the faith at work movement for the past twenty years.

"We don't have to do this. There's no law that says we have to do ergonomics.""We're already covered. We bought good chairs."Sound familiar? These are the two most common objections ergonomics consultants hear from potential clients. And both of them reflect a regulatory picture that most businesses have completely wrong.In this episode, Darcie Jaremey breaks down the five biggest misconceptions about workplace ergonomics that keep businesses from taking action and from working with qualified practitioners like you. Drawing on a July 2026 legal analysis from JD Supra by labor attorney Sarah Goodman of Offit Kurman, Darcie gives you the accurate regulatory picture and shows you exactly how to use it in your next client conversation. (Here's the full article: https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/no-standard-still-liable-how-osha-7637946/)What you'll take away:Why 'no OSHA standard' does not mean 'no duty' and how to explain this to any prospect in under two minutesThe General Duty Clause: what it is, why it applies to office ergonomics, and how OSHA used it against Amazon without a single specific ergonomics ruleThe hazard alert letter most HR managers have never heard of — and why ignoring it builds a willful violation case worth up to $156,259 per violationWhy office workers are absolutely not exempt — and the state-level laws in Minnesota, Washington, California, Oregon, and Michigan that prove itWhy 'we bought chairs and did training' is purchasing activity, not a safety program and what Cornell University's research says about thathe biggest sales reframe in this episode: from 'do we need an assessment?' to 'how do you know what you already spent actually worked?'

What if success is not supposed to feel this heavy?In this episode of The Real Women Real Business Podcast, Shauna Lynn Simon sits down with Dr. Rosenna Bakari, an empowerment psychologist, leadership consultant, author, and founder of Seven Exits. With more than 30 years of experience studying and teaching human behavior, Dr. Bakari helps high-performing women and leaders bridge the gap between outward success and inner ease.Through her Seven Exits framework, Dr. Bakari challenges the idea that achievement, credentials, and talent are enough to create sustainable success. Instead, she explores the emotional maturity, self-awareness, joy, and personal mastery required to build a life and business that does not cost women their wellbeing.Listeners will hear why so many accomplished women still feel emotionally unsafe or unfulfilled, how success can create isolation, and why letting go may be more powerful than accumulating more. This conversation offers a practical and compassionate reframe for women ready to stop normalizing strain as the price of success.Timestamps:(01:50) - (05:38) - What empowerment psychology means and why mental health is more than avoiding illness(05:39) - (10:03) - The invisible struggles behind high achievement and why success can still feel isolating(10:04) - (15:21) - Why accomplished women can feel emotionally unsafe and how the Seven Exits framework helps(15:22) - (23:15) - Releasing the barriers to ease and why growth does not have to mean more strain(23:16) - (29:41) - How the Seven Exits reveal hidden patterns, defenses, and the cost of staying in performance mode(29:42) - (37:10) - Why joy comes before success and how to begin asking better questions about your lifeResources:Book Your FREE Coaching Assessment Call with Shauna Lynn: https://www.aboutshaunalynn.com/coachmeLearn more about the show: AboutShaunaLynn.com/podcastComplimentary 30-Day Trial of the Seven Exits Private Membership: https://SevenExits.comSeven Exits: Leaving Behind What No Longer Serves You by Dr. Rosenna Bakari: https://rosennabakari.shop/products/seven-exitsConnect with Dr. Rosenna Bakari:Learn more about Seven Exits: https://SevenExits.comTransformation by Seven Exits: http://transformation.sevenexits.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Dr.BSevenExits/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sevenexits_rosennabakari/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@sevenexitsLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rosenna-bakari-ph-d-b3120194/Email: dr.b@sevenexits.comDr. Rosenna Bakari is an empowerment psychologist, leadership consultant, author, and founder of Seven Exits.

She's here!!This interview has been at the top of our wish list for a long time.Most people know Kate Snow as the journalist they've welcomed into their homes for decades. We walked away appreciating her even more—not just for the stories she's covered, but for the humanity she brings to every one of them.In this episode, Kate takes us from Cornell to local news, CNN, ABC, and NBC News, sharing the moments that shaped her career—and her. We talk about earning the trust of people during the hardest moments of their lives and why the toughest conversations don't begin with the first question—they begin before the interview ever starts.We also get a behind-the-scenes look at live television, hear why music has always been such an important part of Kate's life, and laugh about a few moments that remind us there's a really fun and relatable person behind the anchor desk.What stayed with us most is that this conversation isn't just about Kate's television career. It's about curiosity, empathy, resilience, and the extraordinary impact one person can have simply by making others feel seen, heard, and respected.A special thank you to our friend Dave Price for introducing us to Kate. Dave, you've made so many wonderful introductions over the years that we're starting to think you deserve an honorary producer credit. Thank you for always thinking of us—and for bringing Kate into the Cornell (Thank) U family.Whether you've watched Kate for years or are just getting to know her, we hope you'll finish this episode feeling exactly as we did: inspired by the journalist, grateful for the storyteller, and genuinely touched by the person.Editor's Note: Since recording this episode, I (Michelle) had the chance to see Kate and Snowdrift perform live, and they were phenomenal. The energy was incredible, they played so many songs we loved, and the night had an unexpected Cornell twist—I was reunited with one of Kate's sorority sisters and our former housemate, Donna Pekala Kirsh, and finally got to meet friend of the podcast Joe Marraccino. It made an already special conversation feel even more personal.Here's where you can find Kate:Instagram: @TVKateSnowFacebook: @TVKateSnowThe Drink Podcast!! https://www.nbcnews.com/the-drink-with-kate-snowLinkedIn: Kate Snow https://www.linkedin.com/in/kate-snow-90527013b/Music (you MUST listen!): https://hyperfollow.com/katesnow Also on Apple Music and Spotify.Not sponsored by or affiliated with Cornell University.
In the last podcast (#183 - How Does Energy Flow Keep Your Horse Alive And Healthy?), the energy potential of the cell is its ability to perform all necessary functions, which was the product of supply (energy flow) and demand (energy resistance). The "sweet spot" for the supply and demand is regulated by the individual. But living in the human world has affected the amount of energy available for cellular functions or the cell's ability to use it (energy resistance). The result can be either too much or too little of each, which results in malfunctioning cells, illness, lameness, and even death. In this podcast, I look at the flow of energy in a way that allows horse owners to see horses as energy containers, with energy flowing through them from food into movement and then into waste (water and carbon dioxide). This simplicity allows us to identify the friction points that cause illness and poor performance. The concepts given here are actually simpler than how you think about your horse care now. Clarity allows you to look at your horses (and possibly yourself) with a better understanding of how the body works. Health improvements come specifically from reduced stress and inflammation, which can help your horse perform better and stay healthier. Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction and review of Podcast 183. Energy Potential (EP) = Energy Flow (EF) x Energy Resistance (ER), the supply and demand theory, and Energy = mass times the speed of light squared, or E = mc² 3:54 - The 3 cell functions that require energy, all cell functions have a cost, and all cells have a finite maximum amount of energy. 7:23 - Resistance and Energy Flow affect the cell's ability to function. 11:44 - Supply and demand within cells, presented as a math problem: disease is when the product of decreased energy flow and increased energy resistance falls outside of the cell's "sweet spot." 12:35 - Colic in terms of energy. 14:32 - Laminitis in terms of energy. 16:28 - All other diseases in horses in terms of energy. 18:00 - Why increasing food intake doesn't increase cell energy. 21:15 - Using diet and exercise to adjust cell energy use to find the "sweet spot." 25:30 - The effect of stress on cellular energy potential. 27:37 - Summary: energy supply x the demand for that energy = the cell's energy potential (health or illness). ******************************* #horses #veterinary #horseteeth #horsecare #equinedentistry Join us at The Horses Advocate Community page: https://community.thehorsesadvocate.com/yt Dentistry: https://theequinepractice.com/ Horsemanship Dentistry School: https://www.horsemanshipdentistryschool.com/c/information/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheHorsesAdvocate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/horsesadvocate/ Geoff Tucker is a veterinarian and horseman who has worked with horses since 1973, earning his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Cornell University in 1984.

PCOS has a new name—but does that change how it's diagnosed or treated?In this episode, Dr. Lorne Brown is joined by board-certified urologist and nutrition expert Dr. Mark Ratner to unpack the transition from PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) to PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome). They discuss why the name changed, what it means for patients, and why this condition is much more than an ovulation disorder.The conversation explores the connection between insulin resistance, hormones, fertility, metabolic health, and long-term wellness. Dr. Ratner and Dr. Brown also discuss evidence-based lifestyle strategies, supplements like myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol, the importance of individualized care, and emerging research on the vaginal microbiome's role in fertility.Key Takeaways:PMOS better reflects the hormonal and metabolic nature of the condition previously known as PCOS.Insulin resistance plays a central role in hormone imbalance, ovulation, and fertility.Lifestyle changes, nutrition, exercise, and targeted supplements can improve metabolic health and reproductive outcomes.PMOS is a lifelong health condition—not just a fertility diagnosis—and requires a holistic approach.Emerging research suggests the vaginal microbiome may also influence fertility and reproductive health.Where to find Dr. Mark Ratner:Website: https://theralogix.com/Special Offer: https://theralogix.com/discount/LORNE?redirect=/products/ovanad Ian Kent - VP, Sales & Business Development
When we think about core stability, digestive efficiency, or functional breathing patterns, we rarely consider the foundational muscle group resting at the base of our pelvis. Yet, pelvic floor health directly dictates everything from diaphragmatic excursion to bowel regularity, posture, and systemic stress management.In this episode, Hallie sits down with Dr. Svetlana Mehlman, a physical therapist specializing in pelvic health, back pain, and lymphatic drainage. Dr. Svetlana breaks down the complex anatomy and mechanics of the pelvic floor, explaining why a tight, tense pelvic muscle is often a hypertonic, weakened one rather than a strong one.About the Guest: Svetlana Mehlman, PT, DPT, MLD-CDr. Svetlana Mehlman is a physical therapist specializing in pelvic health, back pain, and lymphatic drainage. She earned her Bachelor's degree in Human Development from Cornell University and completed her Doctorate of Physical Therapy at New York University. Her passion for pelvic floor physical therapy was ignited early in her career while treating pregnant and postpartum patients suffering from pain and pelvic dysfunction.Key Topics & TakeawaysThe Pelvic Core Connection: Understanding how the pelvic floor acts as the true base of your deep stabilization system, working in tandem with the diaphragm and abdominal wall.Tightness vs. Strength: Demystifying the myth that a tight pelvic floor is a strong one, and why muscle hypertonicity restricts blood flow, movement, and functional length.Breathing and Digestive Motility: Exploring how diaphragmatic movement mechanically massages internal organs, directly impacting gut motility, constipation, and bowel transit time.Soundbites"The pelvic floor is an integral part of your deep core system. It cannot function in isolation from how you breathe or sit.""Muscles need to move through a full range of motion. A tight pelvic floor is not a strong pelvic floor—it's a fatigued, restricted one.""When we fix the breathing mechanics at the top, we relieve the mechanical pressure on the pelvic floor at the bottom."Timestamps 000:01:04 — Hallie Bulkin introduces guest Svetlana Mehlman (DPT, CSCS).00:02:41 — What is the pelvic floor and how does it function as part of the core?00:05:00 — The role and mechanics of using a Squatty Potty.00:08:08 — The link between chronic constipation, bladder issues, and incontinence.00:10:46 — Practical tips: The "I Love You" abdominal massage.00:12:00 — How diaphragmatic breathing regulates the pelvic floor and nervous system.00:15:16 — Why travel and routine changes trigger constipation.00:22:30 — Common symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction (and why tight doesn't mean strong).00:29:31 — Why you should never "hover" or rely on "just-in-case" peeing.00:32:14 — Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) principles and how posture connects to pelvic health.Links & ResourcesConnect with Dr. Svetlana: Explore specialized care programs, resources, and consultation details at Pelvic Harmony.If this episode changed how you see the body, that's just one case.

Send us Fan MailStanley C. Leong brings an unusual and highly relevant perspective to the world of engineering career development: he started as an engineer, then built a second career helping engineers manage the wealth and financial complexity that can come with technical success. He earned both his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Electrical Engineering from Cornell University before working in chip design roles at IBM and Agilent Technologies. That early engineering background still shapes how Stanley approaches financial planning today. As a private wealth advisor and founder of Wisdom Pointe Wealth Advisors, he focuses on working with engineers and executives at high-tech companies, using what his Ameriprise profile describes as an analytical and process-driven approach to financial planning. His expertise includes areas that are especially relevant to technical professionals, such as concentrated stock positions, workplace benefits, retirement income planning, tax-aware strategies, and behavioral finance. Stanley is also the author of Engineering Your Finances: The Tech Professional's Roadmap to Financial Success, a guide written specifically for high-earning technology professionals. The book draws from his own experience in the tech industry, including the volatility he witnessed firsthand after being laid off shortly after buying his first home — a moment that helped shape his understanding of risk, planning, and financial resilience. For the Being An Engineer audience, Stanley's story opens up a practical and often under-discussed conversation: how engineers can apply the same discipline they use in product development, systems thinking, risk analysis, and optimization to their own financial lives. His career is also a compelling example of how technical training can translate into a completely different profession while still remaining central to the way someone thinks, solves problems, and serves others.

He explains that American society is too often unforgiving, preferring to cast out those we consider irredeemable by fixating narrowly on the question What did they do? and imagining that those who have done great wrongs have no past worth learning and no future worth preserving.Through intimate interviews, his rich chapters bring to life 6 men and women, sharing their (sometimes brutal) crimes, the grim but all-too-human paths that led them there, and their evolution and insights. Eye-opening and unflinching, Cast Out makes us truly see those society locks away—the so-called “worst of the worst.” It challenges the reader to see us in them and them in us, and in that way, to recognize the humanity we all share.

In this episode, returning guest Allison Beck, a psychotherapist and parent coach specializing in reproductive psychology and anxiety, joins us to discuss the powerful concept of how "doing less is more". In an era dominated by an abundance of conflicting social media advice, the parenting pendulum has swung toward an exhausting state of over-parenting. Allison explains how this constant pressure to manage, fix, and perfectly execute every interaction can actually block the essential experiences and manageable doses of discomfort that children need for healthy development.The conversation dives deep into the psychology of childhood anxiety and a phenomenon Allison calls "yellow lighting". She explains how well-intentioned parents often inadvertently speed up or escalate a child's emotional distress by either over-demanding or over-accommodating their feelings. Instead of swooping in to fix the problem, the most effective strategy, recognized as a gold standard for treating childhood anxiety and OCD, is to offer a brief supportive statement and then literally do less. Allison also emphasizes the crucial difference between parental agency and control, reminding listeners that parenting behaviors cannot completely override a child's genetics or natural development.Finally, Allison unpacks the practical steps parents can take to sit with their own discomfort and regulate their nervous systems. She highly recommends meditation as a tool to build the neurological skill of observing without reacting, which directly translates to calmer, more flexible parenting. By redefining what it means to be a "good parent", and accepting that calmly and accurately responding to your child's needs just 20 to 30 percent of the time is a massive success, parents can finally let go of perfectionism. Tune in to learn how to parent more intuitively and find out more about Allison's one-on-one coaching and therapy offerings.Allison has served as an advisor and written contributor on perinatal mental health, child development and parenting for various professional service providers and organizations. She received a BS in Human Development with a dual concentration in Early Childhood and Adolescence from Cornell University and an MSW from NYU. Allison has been supporting individuals and families as a Psychotherapist and Parent Coach in NYC agencies, hospitals, and in private practice for over a decade.Connect with Allison: allisonbeck.com@_allisonbeckCheck out her past episode here: “Tackling Anxiety & Depression: One Thought At A Time”Click here and use your exclusive 20% listener discount (Code: Fit20) to enroll in Master Your Pelvic Floor, our signature self-paced course that will change the way you understand and care for your body.
Have you ever wondered what truly drives someone to leap from curiosity about startups into the realm of angel investing—and what mindset shifts are crucial along the way? This episode of The Angel Next Door Podcast opens with that very question, as we explore the often untold personal and financial journeys that lie behind the checks investors write, and the ambitions founders chase. Our guest, Christa Downey, brings a unique lens as both an active angel investor and a leadership coach grounded in the vibrant startup ecosystem of Ithaca, New York.

Her commitment to fostering both financial returns and meaningful impact defines her approach and investments. In this conversation, Christa Downey dives into practical strategies for diversification, the pivotal role of money mindset for both founders and investors, and the often-overlooked emotional aspects of entrepreneurship—including navigating hard money conversations, founder agreements, and the difficult transition from founder to CEO. Listeners will gain concrete insights on angel investing, alternative wealth-building tools, and how intentional financial choices shape both companies and their leaders.

Before you proceed, I want to warn you, that this episode does contain graphic content that some may find disturbing. Vivace is a very bright woman who received her undergraduate and graduate degree in Biology from Cornell University. She worked in the medical field for twelve years before becoming a speaker and life coach. My guest explains that "my mother was my BFF and she lives for her children." This was all terribly hard because Vivace always wanted her mother "to feel valued and honored yet she was at the bottom of everyone's totem pole." Unfortunately, the abuse toward she and her mother started when Vivace was very young and continued until both women left the family, leaving behind the two sons as they chose to remain with their father. Yet, Vivace recalls asking her mother on a regular basis "can we leave today, can we leave today" but it was years before they left. From a young age, Vivace would confront her father verbally about the abuse, but her bravery came with a price. With $100 in their pocket, both women left the horrific beatings behind and found shelter with family members who unfortunately knew of the abuse, but never came to Jaleh's rescue. Through many years of depression, pain, anger, resentment and a planned suicide, Vivace began her healing process through therapy, research and seeking the truth. She uses her past experience as a tool to help her clients improve their self worth and confidence through compassion and understanding. Ultimately, the client has to realize that the possibilities are limitless.

Philosophical Hook We often treat professional drive, relentless intensity, and self-reliance as badges of honor. But what happens when our greatest leadership strengths are actually walls we built to hide our deepest pain? In this powerful episode, Chris Schembra sits down with leadership coach and author Tyler Dickerhoof to discuss his new book, The Things We Hide. Tyler opens up about the tragic childhood loss of his younger brother, Joel, and how that single event led him to build a 25-year defensive wall of extreme intensity. Together, they explore how to break through the four walls of insecurity—intensity, inactivity, insensitivity, and isolation—to transition from a defensive, lonely "bulldozer" into a truly connected, impact-driven leader. 10 Memorable Quotes "My brother had died and it was an accident. I was fourteen and Joel was three." — Tyler Dickerhoof "Where we get in trouble is when we start to depict other people's interpretation of value as our own. And that's where everything goes awry." — Tyler Dickerhoof "I don't tell that story because I don't think it has value. I didn't understand that that manifestation of hiding those things was creating a barrier in my ability to connect." — Tyler Dickerhoof "Instead of it showing up at the bottom of a bottle or drugs... it was my intensity." — Tyler Dickerhoof "Intensity is a bulldozer. A bulldozer will clear a path, but it's going to leave carnage. And in a human sense, that carnage is relationships." — Tyler Dickerhoof "If you want to level some land, great, but I'm not gonna go hang out with you... because I was always on to the next thing." — Tyler Dickerhoof "If leadership is lonely, you're doing it wrong." — Tyler Dickerhoof "I was marooned on an island because I thought I had to do it all... But I was the one that held the keys to the lifeboat." — Tyler Dickerhoof "When we're looking in the mirror, it looks real good. But then someone sits across from us and says, 'Hey, your face is flipped around the other way.'" — Tyler Dickerhoof "Too often we think impact is monumental... Joel was thirty-four months old when he died. His life made an impact." — Tyler Dickerhoof 10 Key Takeaways The Shield of Intensity: Extreme drive and work ethic can often be subconscious survival mechanisms built to mask grief, trauma, or insecurity. The "Bulldozer" Trap: While intensity clears paths and gets things done in business, it leaves a trail of damaged relationships if left unchecked. The Valuation Crisis: Real security begins when you stop adopting external definitions of success and start grounding yourself in your intrinsic value. The Four Walls of Insecurity: Leaders protect themselves through four distinct defensive mechanisms: Intensity, Inactivity, Insensitivity, and Isolation. The Illusion of Lonely Leadership: Loneliness at the top is not an inevitable byproduct of leadership; it is a self-imposed prison created by our unwillingness to be vulnerable. Windows vs. Mirrors: Leading effectively requires looking through a "window" to see how your actions affect others, rather than just looking in a "mirror" of your own intentions. Tech-Enabled Isolation: In the age of AI, we must be careful not to use productivity tools to further isolate ourselves, but rather to buy back our time for genuine human connection. The Power of the Round Table: High-level growth happens in layers when you surround yourself with a diverse group of peers who can pressure-test your perspectives. The 5 R's of Mindset: Maintaining a healthy leadership attitude requires a daily cycle of Routine, Reset, Remember (or Not), Realistic alignment, and constant Repetition. Redefining Impact: True, lasting impact isn't measured by scale or longevity, but by the depth of meaning we bring to the lives of those we touch.

Everything that happens in horses requires energy. Similarly, every household and business has a budget. When there is enough money, everything is good, and with our horses, if there is enough energy, the horses remain healthy and even thrive. This podcast looks at energy flow like a budget: there is a supply of energy, and there is demand for it to keep the horse functioning. At a cell level, every cell has a function that requires energy: muscles contracting or the brain thinking. In addition, cells also have an energy budget for growth, maintenance, and repair. Finally, the products of metabolism (reactive oxygen species, or ROS) need to be removed, which also incurs a cost. Any added "resistance" to the flow of energy in the cell, such as inflammation and stress, reduces the available energy for the cell's function and maintenance. Timestamps: 0:00 - The basic cause of health in horses. 1:09 - The flow of energy. 4:30 - Oxygen is required for life. 5:36 - Moving one electron from a hydrogen atom to an oxygen atom creates energy that the cell uses. 7:20 - Life is the flow of electrons from hydrogen to oxygen. 8:14 - The vital function of cells. 9:14 - All cell functions have an energy cost, and all cells have an energy budget. 10:30 The cell's vital purpose is determined by its resistance to the flow of energy through the cell. 12:39 - The "sweet spot" of energy flow and energy resistance. 13:16 - The three parts of cell function: vital purpose, growth/maintenance/repair, and stress 17:03 - How can energy flow and resistance in horse cells be changed? 19:37 - Summary: The supply and demand for energy determine the cell's energy potential. ******************************* #horses #veterinary #horseteeth #horsecare #equinedentistry Join us at The Horses Advocate Community page: https://community.thehorsesadvocate.com/yt Dentistry: https://theequinepractice.com/ Horsemanship Dentistry School: https://www.horsemanshipdentistryschool.com/c/information/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheHorsesAdvocate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/horsesadvocate/ Geoff Tucker is a veterinarian and horseman who has worked with horses since 1973, earning his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Cornell University in 1984.

What destroyed the Roman Republic was not one man or one moment, but a slow collapse of trust, duty, and shared values. In this episode, Ryan and ancient historian Barry Strauss discuss the broken civic bargain, economic strain, political violence, and personal ambition that pushed Rome toward civil war. They also talk about Cato's refusal to compromise, Caesar's decision to cross the Rubicon, and the warning the fall of the Roman Republic still holds for us today.Barry Strauss is a bestselling author, classicist, military and naval historian, and one of the leading authorities on leadership lessons from the ancient world. He is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, the Bryce and Edith M. Bowmar Professor in Humanistic Studies Emeritus at Cornell University, and a leading expert on ancient military history. Barry is the author of ten books on ancient history, translated into twenty languages, including The War That Made the Roman Empire, Ten Caesars, The Death of Caesar, and his latest book, Jews vs. Rome: Two Centuries of Rebellion Against the World's Mightiest Empire.Follow Barry on Instagram | @barrystrauss

The U.S. has long professed to be a country where people can seek refuge. That's the promise etched into the base of the Statue of Liberty. But it's never been that clear-cut. And in June, the Supreme Court passed two rulings that could make seeking safe haven in the U.S. even more difficult. Today on the show, the story of how the U.S. asylum system was forged in response to moments of crisis, and where it left gaps: from Jewish refugees fleeing the Holocaust, to Cuban and Haitian asylum seekers during the Cold War, to the precarious system of today.This episode originally aired in December 2024.Guests:Maria Cristina Garcia, Professor of History at Cornell University, studying immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekersRuth Wasem, former Immigration Policy Specialist at the U.S. Library of Congress' Congressional Research Service and author of the forthcoming book, The Struggle for Fairness: Forging the Immigration Act of 1965Support shows like Throughline with NPR+.
