Back in 2022, Victoria featured on episode 61 of the podcast – our most popular yet, with 21,000 listens and counting. She returns three years later with the same incredible insights into our industry, an infectious enthusiasm for all things IC and a clear-minded view of our, at times, convoluted profession. She also comes clutching her fascinating new report and, in this episode, Victoria and Katie discuss Connecting the frontline: Current trends, challenges, and strategic opportunities in workforce communication at length. It's a report that addresses the successes and failures of organisations communicating with the 80% of workers who aren't tied to a desk.

What if getting fit didn't mean spending hours at the gym but just 21 minutes, twice a week? And what if the real secret to lasting health wasn't about your body at all, but about rewiring your brain? In this episode of the Productivity Smarts Podcast, host Gerald J. Leonard chats with PJ Glassey, fitness innovator and author of Cracking Your Calorie Code (Version 2). PJ shares how his breakthrough 21-minute workout combines endurance and strength training to create real, lasting results without the bulk or burnout of traditional routines. His method focuses on Complete Muscle Fatigue, helping you get stronger, leaner, and more energized in a fraction of the time. But as PJ explains, true transformation starts in the mind. He breaks down how our "toddler-like" subconscious runs the show and how we can retrain it using powerful brain tools like visualization, tapping (EFT), and mindful movement. Add in habits like clean eating and intermittent fasting, and you've got a roadmap for better focus, more energy, and deeper well-being. It's a refreshing, practical take on fitness that proves when your brain and body work together, productivity and life itself just feel easier.   What We Discuss [02:01] Meet PJ Glassey [04:07] PJ's fitness journey and methodology origins [08:58] Development of the 21-minute workout [11:38] How the 21-minute method works [13:28] Equipment and functional fitness [18:01] Accessing PJ's training and app [21:22] Mind-body connection and subconscious [24:03] Brain type test and personalization [25:37] Aligning the conscious, subconscious, and non-conscious [27:38] Meditation, visualization, and storytelling [31:00] Food, nutrition, and productivity [35:51] Fasting and brain health [37:35] Top five anti-aging and health habits [39:03] Tapping for emotional eating [42:13] How tapping works and resources [45:08] Closing remarks and where to find PJ   Notable Quotes [12:30] "if you're just doing endurance training, the muscle cells want to get smaller, to bring the capillaries closer to the nucleus. So that's why marathon runners look emaciated and power lifters are jacked." — PJ Glassey [21:47] "The subconscious is in charge of us and we can't ever stop that. That's the way it is. And the subconscious also operates at about the level of a three-year-old. So our toddler is in charge of us." — PJ Glassey [36:03] "For me, intermittent fasting is really more about brain health and mental clarity, and not having to be hungry."— PJ Glassey [37:40] "The top five things for anti-aging are the top five things for health: exercise, good nutrition, quality sleep, brain training, and relationships." — PJ Glassey [39:45] "Tapping is an amazing way to get rid of emotional eating, to stop the overeating habits, to even stop cravings." — PJ Glassey [40:06] "I probably tapped 300 different foods away and then to the point where you just don't want them anymore, which is amazing." — PJ Glassey   Resources PJ Glassey Website – Xgym.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pjglassey Brain Type Test – https://braintype.me/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pjglassey/?hl=en Book – Cracking Your Calorie Code Version 2.0 Productivity Smarts Podcast Website - productivitysmartspodcast.com Gerald J.

Step into the shadows of cinematic history with this thrilling episode of Cracking the Code of Spy Movies, where Dan and Tom uncover 10 things you did not know about THE 39 STEPS (1935) This 1935 Alfred Hitchock classic didn't just entertain—it laid the groundwork for the entire spy genre, influencing everything from James Bond to Mission: Impossible. In this episode, we explore how Hitchcock transformed John Buchan's novel into a suspenseful masterpiece, inventing iconic tropes like the "innocent man on the run," the mysterious MacGuffin, and the romantic tension of handcuffed leads. You'll hear how Robert Donat's performance shaped the British spy hero archetype, and how Madeleine Carroll became Hitchcock's first "cool blonde"—a blueprint for future leading ladies. From improvised speeches to hidden visual clues (like the villain's missing fingertip), Hitchcock's genius shines through. We reveal behind-the-scenes secrets, including how Hitchcock "accidentally" lost the handcuff key to spark real chemistry between his stars, and how the groundbreaking train sequence set a new standard for chase scenes. You'll also learn about Hitchcock's early cameo tradition, the clever use of British vaudeville in the finale, and how THE 39 STEPS helped launch Hitchcock's Hollywood career. Whether you're a die-hard spy film fan or new to the genre, this episode is packed with wit, insight, and historical gems.

They debate the so-called “Sharia socialist” narrative, why conservatives are losing their minds over his wardrobe, and how his rise exposes deep shifts in American populism. We explore:

Drew Snarey has lived a career most people only see in movies — from busting gangs in Michigan to protecting high-profile federal figures. He began as a Michigan police officer before transitioning into detective work focused on gang activity and organized crime. His investigative skills led him to serve on multiple federal task forces, where he helped dismantle violent criminal networks and worked closely with top federal agencies. Eventually, Drew made the leap from state law enforcement to the federal level, joining the United States Secret Service and later working alongside other elite federal agencies. In this episode, Drew opens up about life on the streets as a young cop, taking down dangerous crews, navigating the politics of law enforcement, joining federal operations, and the reality of working inside one of America's most elite agencies. He also reflects on the emotional toll these careers take and shares advice for anyone considering a path in law enforcement. #GangDetective #MichiganGangs #TrueCrimePodcast #FormerCop #GangLifeExposed #LawEnforcementStories #PoliceInterviews #streetcrimeuk Thank you to PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: Prizepicks: Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/IANBICK and use code IANBICK and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup!

Two tired dads with graying hair accidentally stumble into a killer AI workflow. In this Halloween-season hang, Drew Brucker and Rory Flynn trade Midjourney Office Hours intel (V8, maybe no 7.1), go deep on the Style Explorer/Style Finder with token-level searches, then build a rapid prompt-testing pipeline across Weavy + multiple image models. Somewhere between Scream and Sandstorm, they also unpack Freepik's new “aggregator” lane and Higgsfield's Popcorn storyboard—then end by stealing prompts (on purpose) with a Chrome trick.If you're asking “How do I actually use Midjourney's Style Explorer to find usable looks?” or “What's a fast way to test a single prompt across lots of models?”—this one answers both, with receipts.What you'll learn- Midjourney V8 expectations, edit models, multi-image refs, UI shift (less typing, more visual control)- Token-based Style Explorer searches- Practical permutations (exp, Chaos 5–7), when Draft Mode helps (and when it doesn't)- Weavy “fan-out” testing: run one prompt through Re-Render/Ideogram/Flux/Mystic/Imagen/Luma/etc.- Freepik as a real workflow hub (collections, templates, brand swaps)- Higgsfield Popcorn: storyboard → video; plus the Chrome “Recreate” move to harvest solid prompt structure#midjourney #midjourneyv8 #midjourneystyleexplorer #stylefinder#aiart #aivideo #aiworkflow #weavy #freepik #higgsfield #promptengineering #aiimagegeneration #generativeai #texttoimage#midjourneytips---⏱️ Midjourney Fast Hour[00:00] Cold open, Halloween vibes, aging gracefully (or not)[02:32] Scream, Stranger Things, Blade nostalgia[06:19] Kids' costumes, seasonal prompting (moody fall looks)[07:43] Midjourney Office Hours recap: V8 hype, maybe skipping 7.1[09:14] Draft Mode real talk; permutations (exp, chaos) habits[11:38] “Try style” quirks and SRF stacking behavior[14:04] Deep dive: Style Explorer (search by tokens, textures, cameras)[18:00] Token combos for discovery [20:46] Treating styles as presets; niche searches [25:04] “This is my new obsession” → why the search now lands[28:15] Style Creator talk and the coming no-words UI paradigm[31:22] New UI learning curve; what should get simplified or cut[32:10] “Pan/Zoom” redundancy; grid-UI vs chat-UI debate[35:22] Option overload vs micro-tools; how people really adopt features[36:28] Editing & creative features pipeline, edit models, multi-image refs[41:31] Weekly release cadence returning; “sailboat”/secret-projects notes[43:19] Market share, comms, and why MJ must show up on more channels[46:46] Freepik: models, workflows, collections, brand-swap use cases[52:26] From icon packs to aggregator; Canva/Krea comparisons[58:00] Genie note; Higgsfield's “rage-bait” marketing, Popcorn storyboard[1:00:04] Camera-move snippets as prompt clauses (easy wins)[1:05:05] Higgsfield Chrome extension → “Recreate” → steal the prompt skeleton[1:10:59] Turn that skeleton into a reusable prompt template[1:12:44] Weavy fan-out: test same prompt across 6–8 generators fast[1:15:45] Comparing results; where each model shines[1:17:28] The nugget for the real ones + sign-off and Halloween tease

In this episode of The Daily Windup, we dig into one of the biggest myths floating around right now — that the U.S. economy has somehow become recession-proof. Despite headlines saying everything's fine, the hard data tells a different story: real GDP has dropped in two of the last three months, growth has fallen from 3.2% to just 1.3%, and both soft and hard data are flashing warning signs. Yet, the market's still acting like the party never ends. We break down what the Fed's Beige Book reveals, why the numbers don't lie, and what every business owner and government contractor should be preparing for right now. Key Takeaways: GDP growth has fallen from 3.2% to 1.3%, showing the economy is slowing — not stabilizing. Soft data is finally morphing into hard data weakness, signaling a potential recession ahead. The Fed's Beige Book is a must-read for anyone tracking real economic health across sectors. Learn more: https://federalhelpcenter.com/ https://govcongiants.org/ 

“Spy Bits: The James Bond Gun Barrel Sequence” is a sharp, focused deep dive into the James Bond gun barrel sequence. And it is brought to you by Cracking the Code of Spy Movies. Dan and Tom trace the sequence's origin with Maurice Binder. They then look at its evolution from pinhole-camera shots and optical compositing to CGI, and how each Bond actor reshaped the pose, timing, and tone. The episode explains the visual language—Bond as hunter, not hunted. Similarly, we dive into the technical design of rifled barrels and blood effects, and how the sequence functions as one of cinema's most enduring brand signatures. What you'll find History: From DR. NO (1962) through GOLDENEYE, DIE ANOTHER DAY, and the Daniel Craig era. We note key changes and why the sequence was reshot for new actors. Technical notes: Early in-camera methods, later CGI, and the use of photographed rifling, optical overlays, and painted blood effects. Actor variations: Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton, Brosnan, Craig—how stance, timing, and color shifted with each era. Themes and trivia: Identity, mortality, continuity, music cues, hidden details like Bob Simmons' stunt work, rifling quirks, and the first omission of blood in No Time to Die.

Today on the ReInvent Health Podcast, I'm joined by cardiologist Dr. Riaz Motara to unpack one of the most debated topics in modern medicine, cholesterol. For decades we've been told that high cholesterol causes heart disease. But what if that story isn't quite so simple? We'll talk about the latest research, the myths that refuse to die, and what really matters when it comes to protecting your heart. Website · Instagram · FaceBook · X · BioSite · LinkedIn · YouTube

A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that eating two eggs daily lowered LDL cholesterol, while high saturated fat diets raised it Researchers found cholesterol from eggs did not raise LDL, but saturated fat from foods like bacon and sausage did, showing food context makes a major difference Eggs provide cholesterol without overloading the liver, allowing it to clear LDL efficiently and preventing artery buildup that increases heart disease and stroke risk Weekly egg intake reduced heart disease deaths by 29% and all-cause mortality by 17% in older adults, highlighting the importance of moderation for protective benefits Choosing pastured eggs, avoiding vegetable oils, and pairing eggs with nutrient-rich whole foods further boost benefits while minimizing harmful omega-6 linoleic acid (LA) intake

As Canada seeks to land a trade deal with the United States, cracks began to emerge this week over whether some sectors — and corresponding provinces — are getting more attention than others. David Paterson, Ontario's representative in Washington, joins the show to discuss whether Ottawa is too focused on Canada's auto industry as B.C., Saskatchewan and Manitoba ask for more help with their lumber and canola sectors.Plus, while the trade war continues to bubble, Prime Minister Mark Carney is attempting a plan to get tougher on crime — and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has called RCMP leadership “despicable.” Political strategists Kate Harrison, Marci Surkes and Jordan Leichnitz join The House to dig into some of the biggest headlines of the week.Then, Catherine Cullen speaks with former Vancouver mayor Larry Campbell, who's been tapped by the B.C. government to improve the city's Downtown Eastside amid ongoing complex problems surrounding drugs, crime and homelessness.And: even with cuts to government spending on the horizon, Carney says he's making the Trudeau-era National School Food Program permanent. Debbie Field, national coordinator for Coalition for Healthy School Food, discusses the state of the program and whether the funding is still far from hitting the mark.This episode features the voices of:David Paterson, Ontario's representative in Washington, D.C.Kate Harrison, Conservative strategist and vice chair at Summa StrategiesMarci Surkes, former senior advisor to Justin Trudeau and chief strategy officer at Compass RoseJordan Leichnitz, NDP strategist and Canada Director at the Friedrich Ebert FoundationLarry Campbell, B.C.'s new adviser on Vancouver's Downtown EastsideDebbie Field, national coordinator of the Coalition for Healthy School Food

When the film The Matrix hit theatres in 1999, the basic plot of humanity being hijacked into a false reality struck a chord. Many people back then sensed something wasn't quite right with the world—that "something else" was going on. Today, many researchers and professional journalists, from Tucker Carlson to Naomi Wolf, are proving peoples' instincts right, exposing the staggering depth and complexity of the assault on humanity and our basic freedoms—from COVID to Deep State corruption to AI to social credit scores to the endless wars in the Middle East, etc. So far few have realized there is something behind the conspiracy theories and the corrupt men and women involved in them. There is another layer to humanity's alarming trajectory that must be exposed before it can be fully understood, halted, and reversed. The source and nature of the matrix goes far deeper than greed and madness. For thousands of years, every culture on Earth has described a hostile, invisible intelligence bedeviling humanity, dragging us down. The ancient Greeks called this influence the Archons—malevolent beings controlling people's thoughts, feelings and actions. Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung called this invisible force “antimimos, the imitator and evil principle,” equating it with the Antichrist. Native American tribes call these beings wetiko and windingo. Christianity and the well-oiled entertainment industry have unwittingly (or otherwise) trivialized this parasitic intelligence in its depiction of Satan or the devil. Cracking the Matrix: 14 Keys to Individual & Global Freedom is designed to help people finally see this ancient, interdimensional force, understand its agenda, recognize its blatant presence behind globalist machinations and events, learn how to break free of its controlling influences and stand up in their true power and create the New Heaven and the New Earth.

It's time to sit down with Brian Richards, founder of SaunaSpace®, to explore the profound role light plays in our health and consciousness. After healing his own chronic issues through near-infrared sauna therapy, Brian became a pioneer in merging ancestral wisdom with modern light biology, and today's conversation takes us deep into that world.Brian breaks down why light is more essential than food, how near-infrared uniquely penetrates deep into the body to charge mitochondria, and why most of us are unknowingly light-deficient thanks to artificial indoor environments. We also get into the pitfalls of fragmented light (LEDs, fluorescents, low-E glass) and why full-spectrum near-infrared provides the “whole song” our biology craves, compared to the “one-note” effect of standard red light panels.If you've ever wondered how to balance your relationship with the sun, reduce technology fatigue, and tap into nature's original biohack for energy, sleep, mood, and longevity, this episode is a must-listen. Brian's insights connect science, spirituality, and practical lifestyle shifts in a way that can radically transform your health and awareness.
