In this episode of the Dover Download podcast, Deputy City Manager Christopher Parker chats with Planning and Community Development Director Donna Benton and Housing Planner Abby Muirhead about Dover's ongoing housing efforts following their recent City Council presentation. Muirhead reports that Dover permitted over 500 housing units in 2024 and 159 in 2025, highlighting the city's Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) ordinance, which has produced 109 HUD-restricted units. Benton notes that without TDR, Dover would likely see only a handful of new units annually given how built out the city already is. The conversation acknowledges that while the city can encourage density and waive certain fees, market forces drive most costs, with construction running at least $300 per square foot and quarter-acre residential parcels averaging $234,000.Benton and Muirhead discuss the recent accessory dwelling unit workshop, which drew a standing-room-only crowd and covered ADU basics, permitting, construction considerations, and financing. Dover currently has about 80 permitted ADUs, with 13 already filed in 2026. They also touch on Dover's role as a statewide leader on innovative land use policies, partnerships with the Workforce Housing Coalition and Home for All, and the Dover Housing Authority's role as the largest provider of affordable housing locally. Muirhead previews a forthcoming public housing dashboard and a new pilot program using CDBG funds to rehabilitate existing low-income rental units, preserving affordability while supporting local landlords.In This Week in Dover History, we revisit May 1887, when Dover High School's student newspaper, The Enterprise, accused the School Board of corruption, religious discrimination, and bribery.

This episode kicks off with a look at the unconventional path of Steve Goodgame, whose journey from agriculture to the Executive Director of the KISS Institute for Practical Robotics (KIPR) proves that the best tech leaders often come from diverse backgrounds. Steve and Ashley discuss the fundamental shift needed in STEM: moving away from "Lego-style" instruction manuals and toward Inquiry-Based Learning. At KIPR, the goal isn't just to build a robot; it's to build a problem-solver who can handle the frustration of a failing sensor or a bug in the code. The heart of the technical discussion centers on Botball, KIPR's flagship program. For the tech crowd, the "hook" here is autonomy. Unlike typical RC-style competitions, Botball robots are fully autonomous, requiring students to write sophisticated code in C, C++, or Java. Steve explains how this creates a high-stakes environment where the robot must "think" for itself on the game board. They also touch on the Junior Botball Challenge, which scales these complex engineering concepts down for younger students without losing the technical rigor. As the conversation turns toward the future, Ashley and Steve tackle the "elephant in the room": Generative AI. They explore how AI is being integrated into the KIPR ecosystem, not as a way to "cheat," but as a high-level tutor that helps students debug embedded systems and refine their logic. This leads into a preview of the 2026 "Stack Attack" season and the upcoming Global Conference on Educational Robotics (GCER) in Norman, Oklahoma.  Whether you are a developer, an educator, or a tech enthusiast, this episode is a masterclass in how we can use robotics to bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world execution.

In this episode of Founded & Funded, Ben Gilbert, co-host of the Acquired podcast, sits down with Chase Lochmiller, co-founder and CEO of Crusoe-AI, the company building what it calls AI factories, including its massive campus in Abilene, Texas, which are designed to power this new era of intelligence. In this conversation, Ben and Chase explore the physical reality behind today's AI revolution. Why modern AI workloads demand entirely new infrastructure. How energy has become the primary bottleneck to scaling intelligence. What it takes to compress multi-year building timelines into months. And how Crusoe's energy-first philosophy, from capturing flared methane to siting facilities near abundant wind power, shaped its path to building one of the world's largest AI computing campuses. This is a must-watch for anyone building in AI or rethinking infrastructure for the next era of intelligence.

What if the next level of your career isn't about doing more… but about designing better? In this episode, I'm joined by Laura Sinclair—performer, educator, and coach (and a returning guest from Season 1, Episode 9)—for a conversation that goes way beyond music teaching. Laura has also been a 1:1 coaching client of mine for five years, and watching her build a values-driven, sustainable studio (while performing at a high level) has been nothing short of inspiring. Yes, Laura's "Stress-Free Studio" work is centered on helping musicians build sustainable studios—but the real topic here is something every high achiever needs: How to build a career that supports your life instead of swallowing it. We talk about the invisible systems (and beliefs) that quietly create overwhelm, why "success" often starts to feel misaligned at a certain stage, and the practical shifts that help you move from survival mode into a more intentional, values-led way of working. Whether you're a performer, executive, entrepreneur, educator, or creative leader, this episode will help you rethink what you're optimizing for—and how to redesign your workflow, boundaries, and offerings so your career actually fits the person you've become. In this episode, we cover: The difference between being in demand and being in alignment Why burnout is often a systems problem—not a motivation problem How structure creates freedom (and why "the plan" matters more than perfection) The courage it takes to stop saying yes by default How to design work that supports both ambition and sustainability Freebie from Laura: 5 Creative Solutions to Rescheduling Lessons https://mailchi.mp/2ce708e36061/5creativesolutionstoreschedulinglessons Learn more about Laura: https://linktr.ee/lauraksinclair Instagram: @viola_maverick And if you want my Quarterly Retreat Planning Guide, DM me the word RETREAT on Instagram: @kkayaian and I'll send it to you personally.

Creativity through the lens of a Creative Hypnotic Entrepreneur "Being creative to me is having a growth mindset. A mindset of possibilities."For more than 15 years, Shane Fozard has taught hypnotherapy, NLP, and advanced communication through the Australian Success Academy, training over 10,000 people across 18 countries, change habits, build businesses, and develop stronger leadership. His work centres on creating the mental states where learning and growth become lasting, rather than fleeting.That expertise grew out of a personal turning point. In his early thirties, Shane was working in corporate sales and operations, drinking and smoking heavily, and wondering why nothing felt right. He signed up for a hypnosis course with low expectations and walked out without his addictions, carrying what felt like the instruction manual for his own mind. From there, he built a hypnotherapy practice and went on to train others, travelling the country with his partner to teach rooms of people how to apply the tools of personal change in their lives and work.Booknotic grew out of that same curiosity. While reading Cal Newport's Deep Work, Shane began wondering what would happen if he did “deep work” on the book itself, distilling the key ideas, then recording them into a short hypnosis track. Friends he shared it with asked for more. Over time, those experiments became Booknotic: 20-minute hypnotic audio sessions based on bestselling books. Each one is built from Shane's own highlighted pages and turned into hypnotic metaphors and memory cues, designed not just to skim information but to absorb it.Unlike summary apps, Booknotic was born out of real practice; handwritten notes, spoken word, and the disciplines of hypnosis and neuroscience. Today, Shane uses it to explore how people can learn in ways that fit into real lives, whether that means a professional who hasn't opened a book in a year, or a parent listening in the quiet half-hour before the family wakes.https://www.instagram.com/shanefozard/#https://www.linkedin.com/in/shanefozard/https://www.youtube.com/@ShaneFozardSend us a text

Restoring a 250-year-old farmhouse isn't just a renovation project. It's a blueprint for modern marketing.That's the lesson from Jean-Christophe Pitié, Chief Marketing and Chief Partner Officer at Contentsquare, who's spent the last five years bringing new life to a centuries-old home outside Paris. In this episode, we break down the marketing lessons hidden in his restoration journey.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from blending heritage with innovation, finding creativity in constraints, and designing connected experiences where every touchpoint matters.About our guest, Jean-Christophe PitiéWith 20+ years of experience in international marketing and partner engagement, Jean-Christophe is committed to supporting companies of all sizes in their digital transformation. Passionate about technology and retail, he spent two decades at Microsoft, where he had the opportunity to contribute to the cloud transformation and to launch Microsoft 365 as well as leading Microsoft Stores. Today, as Chief Marketing and Partnerships Officer at Contentsquare, Jean-Christophe's main mission is to drive customer demand in markets around the world, continue to grow our rich partner ecosystem, and bring holistic customer experience insights to more teams worldwide.What B2B Companies Can Learn From the restoration of a French farmhouse:Honor your legacy while modernizing for today. Great brands, like great houses, balance tradition and innovation. Jean-Christophe explains, “I had architects who came initially, and they wanted to put glass everywhere, tear down some big stone walls, and I'm like, guys, this house has had oak beams for 250 years. I'm not gonna tear them down. I'm gonna keep them.” In B2B, the same logic applies. Your legacy, your history, and your customer trust are part of your brand's foundation. Don't tear them down for the sake of what's trendy. Blend your legacy with fresh, modern layers such as new tech, new storytelling, and new energy, without losing what made your brand distinct. That balance between the old and the new is what gives it lasting beauty and credibility.Constraints fuel creativity. Jean-Christophe says, “Sometimes the best projects come when… you have a constraint… either a location constraint or timing or budget, you get very creative to work around the constraints.” His farmhouse's three-foot-thick stone walls forced him to rethink how to add modern features, and that challenge sparked originality. In B2B, the same holds true. Limited budget? Shrinking timelines? Regulatory hurdles? These are the sparks for inventive ideas. Don't let your constraints kill creativity; let them focus it.Every touchpoint shapes the experience. When restoring a house, you have to look at the whole picture; every room, material, and detail needs to connect. Jean-Christophe shared, “It's a bit like your marketing strategy. You need to connect across channels… every touchpoint matters.” Just like a home's design must flow seamlessly from one room to the next, so should your brand experience, across your website, content, product, and sales. Inconsistent moments break trust. When every touchpoint feels connected and intentional, you turn friction into flow, and customers into believers.Quote“History is part of who we are, human beings… It's beautiful… It's like a brand. When you think about brand, you want something that's unique, differentiated, [and] people can relate to, which is so beautiful.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Jean-Christophe Pitié, Chief Marketing and Chief Partner Officer at Contentsquare[01:04] Jean-Christophe's French Farmhouse Restoration Project[04:38] Balancing Tradition and Innovation in Restoration Projects[13:56] Creative Solutions and Constraints in Restoration[21:30] Importance of Legacy[26:51] B2B Marketing Lessons from Restoring a French Farmhouse[38:30] Innovations at Content Square[43:33] Advice for CMOs on Investing in Brand[45:45] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Jean-Christophe on LinkedInLearn more about ContentsquareAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Portland History Infrastructure Development+Join Grandpa Bill on "The BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour Podcast" as he explores the innovative PAO Major System's Index Card approach to Portland, Maine's infrastructure evolution from 1960 to 2025.

Jan Doering, Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Toronto explores the complex relationship between sound, behavior, and social conflict, unpacking the social, cultural, and neurological dimensions of sound, and discussing how we can move toward a more considerate coexistence in our shared environments.Sound that delights one person can deeply distress another. Clare and Jan explore how our appreciation of sound is deeply subjective and why this gap often turns into tension in urban life. Through examples from everyday environments, they discuss how noise reflects culture, how it can become a form of power and resistance, and why some people respond to it with frustration or even aggression.The conversation challenges policymakers, urban planners, and designers to take sound seriously as an issue of well-being issue and accessibility, highlighting how neurological safety and collective responsibility can help create more peaceful and inclusive soundscapes.Clare and Jan also reflect on the deeper psychological and emotional layers behind how we relate to sound, revealing that finding peace in a noisy world might start with changing how we listen.Jan Doering is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Toronto. His research explores social control and conflict in urban neighborhoods, as well as how individuals experience and respond to discrimination. He has received research funding from the National Science Foundation, the Fulbright Commission, and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Councils.His first book, “Us Versus Them: Race, Crime, and Gentrification in Chicago Neighborhoods” (Oxford University Press, 2020), examines the dynamics of community conflict and identity during the era of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown.Key TakeawaysHearing is a sense we cannot turn off, making sound a constant, shared experience.Noise is not just about volume - there are more elements to consider Urban “vibrancy” often comes at the expense of rest and recovery, highlighting a policy blind spot.Municipalities, designers, and leaders can promote neurological safety by designing environments that support well-being and reduce sensory stress.CHAPTERS03:00 Introduction06:05 Tension Around Noise09:10 Defining Noise and Perception12:16 Reframing Noise Experiences18:05 Joy in Noise: Machines and Gender22:18 Noise and Cultural Responsibility29:08 Government and Policy Failures36:50 Consequences of Noise Stress45:50 Allergic to Peace?51:31 Sadism, Pleasure, and Noise-Making Behavior58:45 Emotional vs. Intellectual Arguments for Quiet01:04:40 Density, Well-being, and Cultural Vision01:08:00 Creative Solutions and Happy SpacesSourcesClamor by Chris Berdik — https://www.chrisberdik.comGolden: The Power of Silence in a World Full of Noise by Justin Zorn & Leigh Marz — https://www.amazon.com/Golden-Power-Silence-World-Noise/dp/0063027607Just Think: The Challenges of the Disengaged Mind – Wilson, T.D. et al., Science (2014) — https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4330241Epstein, M.

When you enter a conflict trying to win, Deepak Chopra says you've already lost.“We can resolve any conflict,” says Dr. Deepak Chopra. All it takes is what he calls “conscious communication.”Chopra is a physician, a leading authority on integrative wellbeing, and the author of over 97 books. His “conscious communication” approach puts presence at the center of all meaningful interactions — bringing together attention, affection, appreciation, and acceptance. When applied to conflicts, his approach turns adversaries into collaborators, leading to what he calls "spiritual solutions" where diverse perspectives and problem-solving lead to better outcomes for all. “We can come up with a creative solution for any adversity,” he says. “All we want is the best outcome for everyone.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Chopra and host Matt Abrahams explore how presence transforms our interactions, why intentions enable us to accomplish more with less effort, and helpful questions to guide difficult conversations. Whether navigating conflict in our professional or personal lives, Chopra's insights show why the best resolutions come when we stop trying to be right and start trying to understand.Episode Reference Links:Deepak ChopraDeepak Chopra AIEp.138 Speak Your Truth: Why Authenticity Leads to Better Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:29) - The Power of Presence (04:15) - Reframing Conflict (10:25) - The Role of Intention (12:25) - DeepakChopra.ai Explained (14:27) - The Final Three Question (19:10) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.

The Push-Pull of ADHD and Autism: Stretching Without Breaking In this candid conversation, Patricia Young (she/her) and B Lourenco (she/her) dive deep into the realities of living with ADHD, autism, and other forms of neurodivergence. They explore the push-pull between self-accommodation and stretching ourselves, how shame and internalized ableism impact daily life, and what it means to create realistic support systems at home, in relationships, and in the workplace. Expect raw honesty, relatable stories, and practical insights for navigating neurodivergent life. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE · The ongoing "driver's seat battle" between ADHD and autism. · The push-pull between making accommodations and stretching ourselves beyond comfort. · Parenting a neurodivergent young adult while balancing when to push and when to allow rest. · Task initiation struggles — from making banana bread to cooking meals. · Body doubling as a powerful tool to reduce shame and spark motivation. · The "crisper/rotter" effect — guilt over wasted food and executive dysfunction. · Financial and practical impacts of task initiation challenges. · How privilege plays into having options like prepared or frozen meals when cooking feels impossible. · The cost of pushing through fatigue and flares with conditions like POTS and MCAS. · "Future me" thinking — and the difficulties neurodivergent folks have with impermanence. · Shame as the "ice cream scoop" on top of disability struggles. · Why diagnosis matters: language helps reduce shame and prevent repeating harmful patterns. · How powerlessness, and an attempt to gain autonomy can show up in small, reactive choices (like leaving a Facebook group). · Sensory sensitivities in family systems — how lack of accommodations can lead to dysfunction. · Practical accommodations for noise-sensitive parents and their kids. · Workplace challenges: 40-hour weeks, return-to-office pressures, and capitalism's rigidity. · Creative problem-solving in disabled and neurodivergent communities. · The deep fear of being uncared for and alone if we can't keep up. · Hyper-independence and isolation in the ADHD/autistic community. · Internalized ableism and the "shoulds" that drive shame and burnout. · Neurodivergence as a dynamic disability — what's possible one day isn't always possible the next. · Radical acceptance as a path toward reducing judgment and finding relief. SOUND BITES · "It begs the question of, okay, is that okay? Can we just say that's how it is?" – B Lourenco · "Instead of putting our energy into addressing the gap, folks will take the great divide and then put a scoop of shame on top of it." – B Lourenco · "All the terrible things that we tell ourselves… if I didn't have that awareness, I'd just keep repeating these patterns." – Patricia Young · "In order to truly accommodate ourselves, we have to acknowledge that it's as hard as it is and that we're as disabled as we are." – B Lourenco · "Sometimes I have to ask myself, what if what you're going through is exactly where you need to be?" – Patricia Young SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken.

She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.

She created the podcasts Unapologetically Sensitive and Unapologetically AuDHD to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges. Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent.

B has been working in community support for nearly 20 years and is committed to social change on all system levels. Seeing mental health advocacy as a way to serve the community, she earned a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology, with a Systems Emphasis, in 2015 and began her private practice, B Lourenco Therapy in 2017. B has also worked in the public school system, providing support to students with behavioral issues that made attending school challenging for them. Highly trained in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), B became a district-wide expert in supporting neurodivergent students. It was during this work that she began to be critical of the medical models of support for neurodivergence, including ABA. Making the shift from the medical to the Neurodiversity-affirming model has allowed her to finally identify her own neurodivergence, including Autism and ADHD. Combining her lived experience of neurodivergence, along with years of anti-oppression work, B is passionate about helping others untangle themselves from harmful practices and align themselves with those that instead support marginalized communities. In addition to CE events for healthcare providers, she has also been a speaker on panels and podcasts, and also facilitates community based workshops. https://www.blourencotherapy.com LINKS Cascadia Training: https://cascadia-training.com Imani Barbarin—crutches_and_spice IG https://www.instagram.com/crutches_and_spice/ To write a review in itunes: click on this link https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/unapologetically-sensitive/id1440433481?mt=2 select "listen on Apple Podcasts" chose "open in itunes" choose "ratings and reviews" click to rate the number of starts click "write a review" Website--www.unapologeticallysensitive.com Facebook-- https://www.facebook.com/Unapologetically-Sensitive-2296688923985657/ Closed/Private Facebook group Unapologetically Sensitive-- https://www.facebook.com/groups/2099705880047619/ Instagram-- https://www.instagram.com/unapologeticallysensitive/ Youtube-- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOE6fodj7RBdO3Iw0NrAllg/videos?view_as=subscriber Tik Tok--https://www.tiktok.com/@unapologeticallysensitiv Unapologetically AuDHD Podcast-- https://unapologeticallysensitive.com/unapologeticallyaudhd/ e-mail-- unapologeticallysensitive@gmail.com Show hashtag--#unapologeticallysensitive Music-- Gravel Dance by Andy Robinson www.andyrobinson.com

The Dissolution of Linear Thinking GB will create a storybook. Grandpa Bill and my 18-year-old granddaughter and college freshman. Here is the first page:Grandpa Bill, with a twinkle in his eye and a lifetime of stories etched onto his face, sat across from his granddaughter, Adah. She was eighteen, brimming with the nervous excitement of a college freshman, her textbooks piled high beside her. "Adah," he began, his voice a warm rumble, "what if I told you that just walking through your Memory Palace from Station 1 to 10 proves absolutely nothing?" Adah, momentarily distracted by a particularly intimidating biology diagram, looked up, a curious smile playing on her lips. She knew Grandpa Bill always had a trick up his sleeve, especially when it came to his beloved "Magnetic Memory Method."https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bh-sales-kennel-kelp-holistic-healing-hour/id1479920722#TheBackwardWalk, #Metivier Method, #PeterOfRavenna, #CognitiveFitness, #HolisticMemory, #GrandpaBill ,#BHSalesKennelKelpHolisticHealingHour, #MagneticMind,Creative Solutions for Holistic HealthcareHealer.comOur program includes: 4 online course modules Monthly webinars with all the latest scienceMy Patriot SupplyDon't Risk Disaster.

Can you be a Christian without the church? In this timely episode, Dr. Carmen Imes argues forcefully—and pastorally—that Christianity without community is a contradiction. Drawing from her new book Becoming God's Family, she and Dru Johnson explore why so many people are walking away from church and what it would take to draw them back. From church hurt to spiritual abuse to toxic celebrity culture, Carmen doesn't shy away from the reasons people leave. But she also offers theological and pastoral wisdom on why we can't give up on the church. They explore biblical stories of failed community, why Hagar's story matters, and what healthy faithfulness looks like in a flawed body. They also discuss when it's time to leave a church, how American and global cultures can distort biblical community, and why true belonging means discomfort, difference, and even lament. Drawing on stories from her life and ministry, Carmen makes the case that church isn't about getting what we want—it's about becoming who we're meant to be.
