In the first episode of Shift Happens, Nasser sits down with Dan Temby, Senior Vice President of Technology & Analytics at DAC, to unpack one of the biggest challenges facing marketers today: moving beyond vanity metrics and measuring what truly matters.Today's marketers have dashboards full of data—but how much of it actually proves impact? Dan breaks down why clicks, impressions, and surface-level KPIs can mislead teams, and what value-based measurement really looks like in today's performance-driven world.0:00: Intro0:50: How do we know which metrics on our dashboard drive sales, and aren't just vanity metrics?3:25: If clicks don't equal customers, what should marketers measure instead?6:18: How do we help clients move from dashboards to decisions?8:50: How is the analytics space evolving, and what should marketers prepare for?10:42: How did you apply semantic descriptions with AI to build DAC's operating system IRIS?12:55: AI amplifies strategy, but only if the data is speaking the same language13:40: Vanity metrics may make dashboards look busy, but value metrics prove impact

Presa europeană analizează consecințele presiunilor lui Donald Trump la adresa Ucrainei, pentru a accepta un plan de pace dezavantajos. Consecințele ar fi devastatoare – și nu doar pentru Ucraina, cred comentatorii. De asemenea, este analizată și cererea președintelui american, adresată Ucrainei, de organizare a alegerilor pe timp de război. ”Donald Trump a realizat ceea ce Stalin a visat și ceea ce Xi Jinping și Vladimir Putin au plasat în centrul proiectelor lor imperiale: dezintegrarea Occidentului, distrugerea ordinii mondiale din 1945”. Este concluzia sumbră a unei analize propuse de ziarul francez Le Figaro. ”Planul de pace fals al Statelor Unite și negocierile purtate cu Rusia pentru a forța Ucraina să se predea necondiționat, chiar dacă nu a pierdut războiul, urmate de publicarea de către Administrația Trump, pe 4 decembrie, a „Strategiei de Securitate Națională”, un preludiu al unei redistribuiri semnificative a forțelor americane staționate în Europa, marchează mult mai mult decât un punct de cotitură geopolitic; ele reprezintă o ruptură istorică. Ele semnalează sfârșitul Occidentului, care a dominat lumea de la sfârșitul secolului al XV-lea până la începutul secolului al XXI-lea”, mai scrie Le Figaro. În ziarul german Süddeutsche Zeitung, citat de Courrier International, filosoful german Jürgen Habermas consideră că doar continuarea integrării europene va permite Bătrânului Continent să se descurce într-un joc geopolitic în care Statele Unite ale lui Trump alunecă spre autoritarism, Occidentul se fracturează și apar noi puteri. Problema este că această opțiune este mai puțin probabilă ca niciodată, având în vedere renașterea forțelor naționaliste în Europa. ”Statele membre estice ale UE, cele care au aderat mai recent, sunt primele care solicită o consolidare a armamentului european, dar, pe de altă parte, sunt și cele mai puțin dispuse să își limiteze puterile naționale. Prin urmare, inițiativa ar trebui să vină din partea țărilor occidentale, care constituie nucleul UE – chiar dacă acest lucru ar însemna să se lipsească de sprijinul guvernului naționalist al Giorgiei Meloni. În practică, având în vedere slăbiciunea actuală a Franței, inițiativa ar trebui să vină în principal din partea Germaniei, care s-ar putea baza pe proiectul Apărării Europene Comune”, scrie ziarul german. Presa europerană comentează și cererea lui Donald Trump adresată Ucrainei privind organizarea de alegeri. Dar sunt posibile alegeri în timp de război? ”Oamenii nu pot vota din pivnițe și ruine”, crede publicația poloneză Polityka, preluată de Eurotopics. Citeste siZelenski solicită reforme pentru a permite alegeri sub legea marțială „În orașe, acest lucru ar putea fi parțial posibil. Dar există sate care au fost izolate de lume, lăsate fără electricitate sau apă, cu oameni care trăiesc în pivnițe și ruine, concentrați doar pe cum să supraviețuiască încă o zi. Orice observator ar pune la îndoială, pe bună dreptate, astfel de alegeri.” Publicația germană Tagesschau consideră că alegerile pot avea loc doar în timpul unui armistițiu. ”Alegerile nu pot fi democratice sau corecte atâta timp cât  candidații nu pot apărea în public în siguranță, dacă secțiile de votare rămân închise din cauza alertelor de raiduri aeriene. Dacă sute de mii de oameni din tranșee sunt excluși. Un armistițiu - exact asta cere președintele SUA Trump de mult timp. Și Ucraina este dispusă la fel de mult timp, dar Rusia nu. Acum Trump are datoria să convingă Kremlinul.”

În loc să cumperi un brad tăiat anul acesta, alege unul la ghiveci pe care să-l replantezi după sărbători. Dacă nu ai grădină, caută pepiniere care preiau brazii după Crăciun pentru a fi replantați. Astfel, bucuria bradului rămâne fără să dăuneze mediului. Dacă preferi un brad artificial, folosește-l cât mai mulți ani, ideal peste 8-10, ca să compensezi impactul producției. Sau poți încerca un brad închiriat: îl ai acasă pentru Crăciun și apoi îl returnezi pentru replantare. Dacă ai loc de o provocare creativă și chiar distractivă, poți crea un brad și din deșeuri reciclabile sau alte materiale pe care le mai ai la îndemână prin casă, fără să mai cumperi altceva – fie că sunt sticle, cărți sau panglici de la alte cadouri. 

Mărturia unui procuror DNA despre cum a ajuns „DNA la noncombat”: „Nu mai suntem lăsați să lucrăm cu cel mai competent corp polițienesc din MAI” / Un ofițer din MAI confirmă (HotNews) - Justiția, ruptă în două. Cine sunt semnatarii listei de susținere a magistraților din reportajul Recorder și cine sunt marii absenți (Adevărul) - cu Diana Buzoianu: Nu m-am născut ministru. Pot să plec mâine liniștită și să lucrez în domeniul privat (SpotMedia) - Un profesor de economie demontează mitul majorării salariului minim: „O să avem oameni care vor fi lăsați pe străzi” (Adevărul) - Ce a fost în 2025, ce am previzionat şi ce a ieşit (Ziarul Financiar) Judecătoarea Raluca Moroșanu: „Dacă nu se schimbă ceva acum, nu se va mai schimba niciodată” (Recorder) „După ce am văzut documentarul Recorder, în care judecătorul Laurențiu Beșu a apărut cu fața, mi-am zis că este sub demnitatea mea să-l las pe acest om singur”. Acesta a fost unul dintre gândurile Ralucăi Moroșanu înainte de a înfrunta conducerea Curții de Apel București chiar în conferința de presă pe care aceștia au organizat-o. „Consider că este de datoria mea să le răspund oamenilor care au ieșit în stradă și care bănuiesc că așteaptă mai mult de la mine decât ce-am spus în conferința de presă”, spune judecătoarea Moroșanu. În acest interviu – prima apariție publică după celebra conferința de presă – Raluca Moroșanu vorbește despre situația dramatică din Justiție și dezvăluie lucruri incredibile din interiorul uneia dintre cele mai importante instanțe din România. Mărturia unui procuror DNA despre cum a ajuns „DNA la noncombat”: „Nu mai suntem lăsați să lucrăm cu cel mai competent corp polițienesc din MAI” / Un ofițer din MAI confirmă (HotNews) Un procuror DNA oferă publicului, într-o discuție cu HotNews, un exemplu concret despre cum fost slăbită premeditat, susține el, forța investigativă a structurii de elită a Parchetelor din România. „Toate lucrurile semnalate în investigația Recorder noi le știam, acum le știu și alții. O să descriu și o altă metodă”, a spus procurorul DNA, care a acceptat dialogul sub rezerva protejării identității, avînd în vedere statutul său de magistrat în activitate. Procurorii investighează cazurile nu singuri, ci coordonând polițiști judiciari. „De peste un deceniu, cu zeci de milioane de euro și cu instruire sprijinită de țări din UE s-au construit în MAI structuri polițienești de investigație care au cooperat cu DNA. Dintr-o dată, relația s-a întrerupt, prin hotărârea ÎCCJ”, a explicat pentru HotNews un ofițer din MAI, în completarea a ceea ce spune procurorul DNA.  Dacă tai cooperarea cu forța de elită a poliției române și cauți polițiști la IPJ-uri, atunci automat forța de cercetare a DNA scade, iar asta a fost făcută intenționat, la nivel înalt și coordonat, afirmă și procurorul din DNA. Justiția, ruptă în două. Cine sunt semnatarii listei de susținere a magistraților din reportajul Recorder și cine sunt marii absenți (Adevărul) Reportajul Recorder, în care mai mulți magistrați denunță ceea ce ei consideră încălcări grave ale libertății judecătorilor și în urma căruia se cere schimbarea șefilor din Justiție, i-a împărțit pe magistrați.  Printre cei 811 de semnatari se află 49 de judecători pensionari și 43 de procurori pensionari. Ceilalți sunt magistrați activi, procurori și judecători. Adevărul scrie că printre semnatari sunt și magistrați controversați, acuzați de-a lungul anilor că ar fi încălcat la rândul lor principiile Justiției. Pe listă nu se află fostul adjunct al Laurei Codruța Kovesi, Marius Iacob. De asemenea, de pe listă lipsește numele lui Daniel Morar, fost șef al DNA. Nici Gabriela Scutea, fost procuror general, nu a aderat la lista magistraților activiști, la fel cum nici Laura Oprean, și ea fost procuror general și fost adjunct al lui Morar nu a găsit necesar să se implice. Un alt nume cunoscut care lipsește este cel al lui Lucian Papici, fost procuror DNA, șef de secție cu dosare importante pe vremea lui Daniel Morar. Diana Buzoianu: Nu m-am născut ministru. Pot să plec mâine liniștită și să lucrez în domeniul privat (SpotMedia) Criza apei din județul Prahova a fost folosită de PSD și AUR pentru a-l destabiliza pe ministrul Mediului, numit de USR, cerându-i-se, public, demisia și depunându-se în Parlament o moțiune simplă la adresa sa.  E avocat, deputat USR, are 31 de ani și a intrat în politică din cauza Ordonanței 13, impusă de Liviu Dragnea în 2017, pentru a scăpa de condamnările pentru corupție.  În actuala coaliție de guvernare a fost nominalizată de partidul din care face parte pentru poziția de ministru al Mediului.  La scurt timp după numire, măsurile de reformă inițiate de ea s-au lovit de interesele PSD, care dorea să-și păstreze oamenii și controlul asupra unor regii și companii publice, aflate în subordinea ministerului. Vedeți interviul pe pagina SpotMedia. Un profesor de economie demontează mitul majorării salariului minim: „O să avem oameni care vor fi lăsați pe străzi” (Adevărul) Presiunile sindicale pentru o nouă majorare a salariului minim brut, de la 4.050 lei la 4.350 lei, readuc în discuție fragilitatea echilibrului economic din România.  Sindicatele solicită o creștere de 300 de lei a salariului brut, o măsură care, la prima vedere, pare să vină în sprijinul puterii de cumpărare. Totuși, profesorul de economie Cristian Păun avertizează că măsura riscă să se transforme într-un bumerang pentru mediul privat și pentru angajații vulnerabili. El explică mecanismul fiscal prin care statul câștigă practic jumătate din orice majorare. Pe larg în ziar. Ce a fost în 2025, ce am previzionat şi ce a ieşit (Nicuşor Dan preşedinte a fost o surpriză): în ciuda tensiunilor politice şi economice, anul 2025 îl închidem într-un mod destul de rezonabil, fără crize majore, mult mai bine decât ne-am temut că va fi şi fără prea mari pierderi. Bursa a fost surpriza pozitivă din acest an (Ziarul Financiar) Anul 2025 l-am început cu foarte multe semne de întrebare din punct de vedere politic, economic, financiar şi social, după finalul stupefiant din 2024, cu apariţia de nicăieri a lui Călin Georgescu şi anularea alegerilor prezidenţiale. Unele întrebări sunt în vigoare şi acum, dar dacă acum tragem linie, poate nu a fost un an chiar aşa de rău. De bine, de rău, nu  ne-am confruntam cu vreo criză majoră care să dea România peste cap, avem un preşedinte nou, Nicuşor Dan, pro-european, avem un guvern nou Bolojan pro-european, avem o coaliţe politică pro-europeană care merge înainte, în ciuda retoricii de rupere a coaliţiei afişată în fiecare zi. Deşi a fost confruntată cu multe semne de întrebare, mai ales după creşterea taxelor- TVA-ul a crescut de la 19 la 21%, economia nu a intrat în criză, reuşeşte să se menţină la suprafaţă în ciuda scăderii consumului şi chiar sunt şanse bune de a închide anul cu o creştere economică de peste 1%, scrie jurnalistul Cristian Hostiuc, director editorial ZF.  

Pentru Pauza de Bine de azi îți propun o temă pe care o vom explora în premieră în podcast. E un subiect care a intrat pe radarul meu acum vreo 3 ani și despre care se vorbește prea puțin încă: perimenopauza.Dacă despre menopauză se vorbește mai mult sau e mai cunoscut termenul, ea reprezintă într-un fel ultima stație în tranziția numită perimenopauză – o perioadă care se poate întinde chiar pe 10 ani înainte de instalarea menopauzei.Partenera mea de conversație este Nora Neghină, psiholog clinician și psihoterapeut relațional, cu o experiență solidă în lucrul cu familii și cupluri. Este certificată din 2015 ca Trainer Mindsight, iar din 2024, Nora și-a extins expertiza devenind coach specializat în menopauză, sprijinind astfel femeile să navigheze această tranziție complexă printr-o perspectivă integrativă: psihologică, relațională și de stil de viață.Vorbim cu Nora despre:Ce este perimenopauza și ce se întâmplă în corpul unei femei (inclusiv la nivel de creier)Impactul emoțional pe care îl areCum afectează dinamica din relația de cupluCum gestionăm combinația mamă la perimenopauză și copil adolescentCe impact poate avea din punct de vedere profesionalLucruri simple pe care putem să începem să le facem încă de aziCartea recomandată în episod este ”Creierul la menopauză” de Lisa Mosconi.Pe Nora o găsești pe Instagram și pe Pagina de psihologie.M-aș bucura să-mi dai de veste că ai ascultat episodul, dacă ți-a plăcut, dacă te-a ajutat.

Ultimele bucăţi din #VoucherulMădălinei, unde 99€ investiți azi îți asigură 370€ la anu'! În acest episod povestesc cum am transformat o singură postare într-o Campanie completă, cum am decis să renunț la propriul Black Friday, cum am integrat 11 branduri, cum am gândit mecanismul de promovare în mai multe formate și platforme și cum am reușit să conectez vizibilitatea mea cu nevoile clienților mei într-un mod care a generat impact real. A fost un proces în care s-au împletit analiza, strategia, intuiția și dorința de a crea un tip de marketing care chiar servește oamenilor și organizațiilor implicate.Ideea a apărut în urmă cu mai bine de un an, în contexte pline de incertitudine, conversații despre instabilitate, frici legate de vizibilitate și multe întrebări despre felul în care pot sprijini, real și strategic, oamenii cu care lucrez zi de zi.Afli cum s-au așezat detaliile, ce am observat în nevoile clienților mei, cum am conectat vizibilitatea platformelor mele cu ofertele lor de Black Friday și cum s-au legat, natural, semnele care m-au condus spre Asociația Blondie. Intro (00:00)Nu copia acţiuni de marketing (02:41)Blondie Friday a început acum 1 an (03:36)Dacă un ONG are o cauză măreaţă, nu are nevoie de marketing (05:41)Problema era că... (10:29)Soluţia la care m-am gândit (10:48)Aşteptam semne din exterior (14:14)Am renunţat la Black Friday al meu (15:03)Cum le-am propus clienţilor mei?

(23:07)Cineva care are 10k followers să promoveze pe cineva cu 58k? (26:42)Planul arăta aşa (31:07)Am dat cadou 2 sesiuni 1-la-1 (32:06)Rezultatele obţinute (32:53)Adunăm cifrele (41:31)Voucherul Mădălinei, plăteşti 99 euro, primeşti 370 euro reducere (47:44)Outro (50:32)Dacă vrei să înțelegi cum se construiește o Campanie de Marketing de la firul ierbii, cu toate deciziile, gândurile, ajustările și insight-urile care apar în spate, te invit să urmărești episodul până la final.

Achtung, weltweites Immobilienregister geplant! Ja, der gläserne Bürger wird jeden Tag mehr Realität. Im neuen Tipp-Podcast spreche ich über das neue OECD-Immobilien-Rahmenwerk IPI MCAA – einen weltweiten Informationsaustausch für Immobilien. Damit wird erstmals global verknüpft, wem welche Immobilie wo gehört – inklusive Adresse, Kaufpreis, Transaktionshistorie und laufenden Mieteinnahmen. Ich zeige dir: - Warum hoch verschuldete Staaten ein riesiges Interesse daran haben, dein Immobilienvermögen lückenlos zu kennen – und was das mit Enteignungsfantasien und Zwangshypotheken zu tun hat. - Welche sensiblen Daten konkret aus Registern wie Grundbuch & wirtschaftlich Berechtigten in dieses neue System einfließen sollen? - Welche Länder voraussichtlich mitmachen werden – und welche Staaten durch Nichtteilnahme plötzlich deutlich interessanter für Eigentum und Plan B werden! - Wie sich das neue Immobilienregister in das bestehende Kontrollnetz aus CRS, CARF, EU-Vermögensregister, DAC-7 & Co. einfügt. - Warum Internationalisierung, Streuung und gegebenenfalls Auswandern durch diese Entwicklung nicht überflüssig, sondern sogar noch wichtiger werden! Wenn du Immobilien besitzt oder im Ausland investieren willst, ist das eine Entwicklung, die du kennen solltest – lange bevor der erste Datenaustausch 2026/2027 startet.

De astăzi intră în vigoare în Australia legea care interzice accesul copiilor sub 16 ani la rețelele de socializare. Ce impact are și în ce măsură protejează într-adevăr copiii de conținutul dăunător la care sînt expuși pe rețele? Care e reacția societății? Dacă nu printr-o interdicție radicală, atunci cum îi putem proteja pe copii dar și pe adulți de toxicitatea de pe social media și cum îi ferim, cum ne ferim de riscurile pentru sănătatea mintală provocate de rețelele sociale? Ne-au răspuns Bogdan Manolea, consultant juridic, specialist în dreptul tehnologiei informațiilor, și Bogdan Lungu, doctorand la Facultatea de Științe Politice, Administrative și ale Comunicării din Cluj, amîndoi membri ai Asociației pentru Tehnologie și Internet.Care a fost miza acestei interdicții?Bogdan Lungu: „Miza, din cîte au declarat persoanele care au împins în față această nouă lege, era protecția copiilor de conținut dăunător pe internet, de efectele nocive ale algoritmilor de recomandare, de conținutul extremist, de orice ar fi împiedicat dezvoltarea lor socială și psihologică normală. (...) Criticii acestei legi s-au plîns de faptul că legea n-a fost pusă în dezbatere și în consultare publică, iar activiștii pe drepturi digitale, ca și noi, la rîndul lor au punctat că acest regulament și această lege nu rezolvă problema de fond. Dacă miza era protecția copiilor de anumite efecte nocive ale algoritmilor de recomandare pe internet, se prea poate ca acest set de legi să încurajeze alte moduri prin care copiii să fenteze reglementarea sau să îi mute de pe o platformă pe alta. Se prea poate ca legislația respectivă doar să mute utilizatorii dintr-un loc în altul păstrînd problema de fond, anume modul în care sînt monetizate aceste companii, modul în care ele depind de extracția de date de la copii pentru a personaliza feed-ul și pentru a livra reclame personalizate.”Pe social media copiii sînt expuși la mult conținut toxic, dăunător, periculos. Cum pot fi protejați altfel decît printr-o lege care să le interzică accesul?Bogdan Manolea: „Aici trebuie să ne uităm în primul rînd la cauza problemelor. Dacă vorbim despre toate relele care se întîmplă pe internet, ele sînt similare cu toate relele din viața reală și să credem că de mîine o să găsim o soluție miraculoasă prin care toți copiii vor fi protejați este absolut iluzoriu. Și atunci cred că trebuie să discutăm, și în anumite cercuri se discută, mai precis despre riscurile la adresa sănătății mintale provocate de rețele sociale sau alți mari jucători și care pot să afecteze în mod semnificativ tinerii. Dacă rezumăm problema la acest aspect, trebuie să vedem cum ne raportăm la o soluție. Există o posibilă soluție legislativă? Sau trebuie să fie un cumul de soluții care implică poate o mică parte legislativă, dar în mare parte trebuie să ne adresăm altor segmente? Și aici Uniunea Europeană are, prin articolul 28 din DSA (Digital Services Act), mai multe discuții care merg pe mai multe paliere și care încearcă să implice mai mulți specialiști. Și asta mi se pare esențial. Adică nu e o problemă doar tehnică sau doar de reglementare, ci este o dezbatere la care participă și sociologi, și antropologi, și psihologi, și specialiști în adicții. Ce ne spun ei este că în primul rînd unde putem acționa este la nivelul platformelor. Adică putem foarte bine să gîndim niște legi și să ne dăm cu pumnul în piept, dar soluția cea mai bună pentru acest tip de problemă este să-i spui platformei să nu mai folosească design adictiv în felul în care acționează. Sau, un alt exemplu concret, în loc să facă partea de infinite scrolling, să aibă un sistem măcar opțional de paginare, în care utilizatorul vede că se termină informația și trebuie să dea click ca să ajungă pe pagina următoare.”Apasă PLAY pentru a asculta interviul integral! O emisiune de Adela Greceanu și Matei MartinUn produs Radio România Cultural

Čo hovorí o Niké lige fakt, že Slovan je na čele tabuľky, aj keď v posledných dvoch zápasoch nezískal ani bod? Aj o tom sme sa rozprávali v 63. epizóde podcastu Kam si to kopol? na ŠPORT.sk.Niké liga je po 17. kole prakticky v polovici sezóny a víkendové kolo uzavrie jej jesennú časť. Na čele tabuľky je stále Slovan Bratislava pred DAC, ktorý sa cez víkend dostal pred Žilinu. Na MŠK čaká v najbližšom kole práve úradujúci šampión Slovan.Cez víkend sa odohrá priamy boj o hornú šestku – Michalovce privítajú Prešov. Nováčik môže v prípade víťazstva preskočiť svojho súpera a dostať sa do top 6.Futbalisti Ružomberka uspeli aj na pôde MŠK Žilina. Po víťazstve v dohrávke na ihrisku Slovana zdolali aj dovtedy druhý tím tabuľky, pre ktorý išlo už o druhú prehru v rade.Víkend priniesol opäť poriadnu dávku futbalových tém a v 63. epizóde podcastu Kam si to kopol? na ŠPORT.sk sme ich rozobrali s futbalovým trénerom Norbertom Hrnčárom.

Progresul nu apare dintr-un singur gest mare, ci din lucruri mici, repetate zilnic. Din decizii conștiente. Din obiceiuri care te ajută să crești — nu să stai pe loc. În episodul acesta vorbim despre 30 de direcții concrete prin care îți poți îmbunătăți viața, felul în care gândești, relația cu banii, cu timpul tău și cu tine însuți.Nu sunt teorii. Nu sunt clișee. Sunt lucruri practice.De la obiceiuri de bază cum ar fi să-ți începi ziua mai devreme, să citești, să planifici și să îți respecți obiectivele, până la acțiuni care țin de disciplină financiară, dezvoltare personală, investiții, gândire strategică și gestionarea vieții într-un mod intențional.Unele dintre idei sunt simple. Altele vor cere curaj, luciditate și, poate, renunțări.Dar toate au același scop:să te ducă mai departe decât unde ești azi.Dacă ai simțit că vrei mai mult: mai mult sens, mai multă direcție, mai mult control, mai multă claritate, atunci episodul ăsta e pentru tine.Ascultă-l cu sinceritate.Și apoi alege cel puțin un lucru pe care îl pui în practică astăzi.Progresul începe cu o decizie.Restul vine din repetiție.---Ți-a plăcut?

I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:48  Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the unfaltering convo I had with Amy Ledin in our last episode. Brad Crowell 0:59  The what convo? Lesley Logan 1:00  Unfaltering. Brad Crowell 1:01  Unfaltering. Love that. Lesley Logan 1:03  Yeah. If you haven't yet listened to that interview, you are definitely going in and out of order. But that's fine. It's totally fine. We're actually. Brad Crowell 1:11  We don't do perfection here. Lesley Logan 1:12  We don't and but also, this kicks off our Habits series. Brad Crowell 1:19  This one? Lesley Logan 1:19  Yes. Lesley Logan 1:20  Oh, I didn't know that. Lesley Logan 1:21  We are in the Habits series. You don't even know. Brad Crowell 1:23  I know that's amazing. Well, I was gonna comment that it was coming up because the two of you talked a lot about habits.Lesley Logan 1:28  Yeah, yeah. So she kicked us off in this interview, in case, the way I talk about habits doesn't exactly work for you. Amy is a great person at habits. And then several episodes, they're like 15, 20, minutes of me actually, just like breaking down how habits work. And so you can, you'll have episodes you can actually come back to anytime you need to go back through a habit. Brad Crowell 1:53  Love that. Lesley Logan 1:54  I know.Brad Crowell 1:55  So this is 611 so just remember episode 611 kicks off the Habits series. Brad Crowell 1:59  Well, 610. Oh, the interview with her, 610 so, yeah, the last episode. So you really should go back and listen to it, if you haven't already, it's worth it.Lesley Logan 2:08  You should. So, but before that, you'll listen to us talk about how today is December 4th 2025, and it's World Wildlife Conservation Day day. According to Brad's notes, day day. Brad Crowell 2:19  Day, day. Lesley Logan 2:20  Day day, all right, World Wildlife Conservation Day is on December 4th and we're so excited to spread awareness about preserving Earth's endangered flora and fauna. What do you think the most invasive species on the earth is? Monkeys, catfish, locusts? Well, I'm just gonna pause before I say what I'm about to say the second to the last sentence does make me feel like these people do care about the animals, and I'm gonna get it, bring it back to the animals, but we do have to talk about how it's us humans, and it's not because you're not having enough babies, ladies, that's not it at all. Actually, it's because nature's most magnificent, are we really, nature's most magnificent creatures, world, wildlife, people, I don't think so, are becoming endangers and being pushed the brink of extinction by the greed of some humans. Okay, so really, animals.Brad Crowell 3:06  No, they're saying that animals and plants are being pushed to extinction because of humans. Lesley Logan 3:13  Because of humans. Okay, all right, so, so, oh, I see we're the most invasive species. Brad Crowell 3:19  That's right. We are the most invasive species. Lesley Logan 3:21  We are the most, I read that as endangered. So okay, so I'll take it all the, well, first of all, we don't need to have any more babies because we are the most invasive species. There it is. But it's true. I just get so tired of people thinking like we're gonna run out of people. We're not gonna run out of people, because the Earth is gonna get too hot for people, because we are being assholes, so this is causing irreparable harm to the wildlife ecosystem. So, just so you know, here are the animals that are in danger right now. One of the most rarest cats in the world is the Amur leopard. There's only about 100 of them left. The vaquita is a small porpoise from the Gulf of California with only eight to 13 estimated to be left. And the rhino. Multiple species are actually critically endangered, largely due to poaching for their horns. And it's really sad about the rhino, because have you seen a baby rhino? They're so cute. The orangutan, all species of orangutans are critically endangered because of the habitat loss from deforestation, and they're being hunted or captured as infants. I watch this incredible thing about how they're trying to create habitats for orangutans, but then they have to take the orangutans that are used to being around people and like, teach them to be orangutans again, it's really quite cute. The saola, saola, an elusive forest dwelling animal in the Annamite Mountain, sometimes called the Asian unicorn, saola, an Asian unicorn? Well, we got to see this. Sunda pangolin, over-exploited for their meat and scales with illegal trade and a major threat. And then the bugs we got to be worried about, the salt Creek tiger beetle, the butterflies, the McCarthy's plant-louse and a giant torrent midge. And, I mean, do we need the midges? I don't know if that's the same as a midge in Scotland. Brad Crowell 3:21  What is it? Lesley Logan 3:21  Giant torrent midge.Brad Crowell 3:21  All right, images, oh, I don't actually know what I'm looking at here.Lesley Logan 3:21  It's giving me, AI is giving me 75 different kinds of animals, none of which, I think are the midge.Brad Crowell 3:21  It feels like it's, it's kind of in the antlered world. But a bunch of bugs came up. Lesley Logan 3:21  Yeah, a bunch. But did you find the Asian unicorn?Brad Crowell 3:21  I did. And it actually is like the spindly, horned like. Lesley Logan 3:21  Okay, you know what it looks like, everyone? It looks like, it looks like the Target dog on a deer with horns. It does. Not white, but like the snout.Brad Crowell 4:44  It's got, it's the bull terrier face, but it has antlers that are spinning like spindling. They spin. Lesley Logan 3:55  All these to say, the we are endangering a.Brad Crowell 4:41  Twist, they twist. Lesley Logan 4:41  And, oh, and we're endangering a lot of animals. And when one animal goes it actually affects a whole chain. And as humans, I think that we are really getting into we're too self-absorbed, even when we think we're doing the right thing. So just be mindful of what you're doing. And you know, we're we're making the earth too hot, and it's going to be a problem for everybody. So that's World Wildlife, you know, conservation day, humans are an invasive species, not endangered one. Okay, I read that totally wrong. Sorry about that. Anyways. Also, today is the day we have left for the tour.Brad Crowell 4:41  Yeah, we hit the road, and that's exciting. We are heading to Colorado.Lesley Logan 4:41  Yeah, we're going to Colorado Springs. That event sold out. Both things sold out in like a week, so yeah, and then we'll be in Fayetteville, and then we're gonna keep on going, opc.me/tour, is where you can get your tickets and. Brad Crowell 3:55  There are still a few tickets left, y'all, but I don't know which cities, so just hop over to opc.me/tour, and come join us. Come hang out. It'll be so fun to meet you in person.Lesley Logan 5:49  We really want to. It's one of the best ways for us to hang out, and there's lots of prizes. Balanced Body is our sponsor of this tour, and that means we're bringing our Controlology equipment with us. We're bringing Bayon with us. This is the biggest one. This one has 23 cities, so we've outdone ourselves, truly have and we will see how we are on the other side. So, but also while we're on tour. You know, we talked about this last month, but we did not do a sale for Profitable Pilates this past week. I guess it would have been for the Thanksgiving holiday, because we're doing something really special December 26th to the 31st and so you're gonna want, if you've ever wanted to try out Agency, if you've ever wanted to experience what's like, to be coached with us, and you want to get it on a discount, you are going to want to make sure that you are paying attention to our emails. And so the best thing you can do is go to prfit.biz/events, because that'll get you on the waitlist. Actually, just wrote a waitlist email for those people, yes, and that way you will not miss out on this amazing opportunity, and it will in the come back around, okay. And then after the new year, we come home, we literally unpack the van. I'm getting my roots and my nails done. I literally told the team, there's zero things that can happen on that day. There's only two things that can happen on that day, because my roots will be five weeks out, and so will my nails. And we have never tested that before in life. Brad Crowell 6:56  So I'm gonna basically unpack the van and repack the van while she's getting her nails done.Lesley Logan 6:10  I know I and we haven't even decided for taking I guess we're taking the van. So we're I'm gonna be teaching at the Pilates Journal Expo in Huntington Beach. Brad's gonna be at the booth. We've got some fun fireside chats. It depends on if those rugs that we are picking up fit in the other car. So you guys, oh my God, do you want to know this? We have six rugs that are waiting for us to pick them up, six and they're huge, and the last thing I needed in this house was a rug. But I couldn't say no to six rugs. So I have to now maybe get rid of some rugs, or we're gonna layer some rugs, unclear, but this is, this is the things that Brad and I on our ADHD have to figure out. However, we are going to somehow, some car is going to take us to L.A. and that car will pick up some rugs before we're at the Expo. And then Brad will be at the booth. I'll be running around. I'm doing a fun chat with Ken Edelman. I'm doing a fireside chat that I think Erika Quest is hosting. I got a couple workshops in a class so go to xxll.co/pilatesjournal. And then, also, in January, besides being at my birthday, we are going to let the wait list people in on an amazing deal on the retreat to Cambodia next October. So it happens in January. Why? Because we want to kick off the new year. Help you plan your massive travel for the end of the year and have some fun with us. You can plan the, you get to think about it all year long how cool is that, You'll want to go to crowsnestretreats.com to get on that waitlist, because, again, only the waitlist people get the discount. Brad Crowell 9:52  Yeah, and we're gonna have a call in January, middle of January, basically, to we're just gonna hang out and talk about it all. And answer questions for you. So if you were like, you know, it's interesting, but I'm unsure. Come join us for the call. We're going to email the wait list about the call. So go on the waitlist. Go to crowsnestretreats.com, you'll just see it on the homepage. Scroll down a little bit towards the bottom, and you'll see, you know, find out about the upcoming events and whatever. So we'll be able to email you the Zoom link. And yeah, we're just going to hang out and talk about it, and we'll probably invite a couple of our past retreaters to join us, so you can ask them questions and all the things. But I next year is going to be it's gonna be a big, a big trip. I'm excited. It's gonna be awesome. And we have, we've already had, we've literally already had people start getting tickets. Okay, I know they got a secret sale, and a bunch of people were like, yes, please. So just saying.Lesley Logan 10:44  They're like, people like, how do I get the secret sale? Apparently they just asked you guys. I'm pretty sure that's how it went. Then in February, we will have our Agency Mini, but it's happening in February. I don't have the dates in front of us, so pfit.biz/mini will make sure that you do not miss out on when that is happening but.Brad Crowell 11:01  Profit without the O slash mini. Lesley Logan 11:03  If you paid attention to what's happening on December 26th to the 31st you will not miss out on that Mini. So I'm just hinting, hinting.Brad Crowell 11:12  Hinting. Lesley Logan 11:12  I think I'm hinting on the right thing. The team will let me know. In March, I will be in Poland, and we will also be in Brussels. So if you and with Karen Frischmann, so if you want to learn in an intimate setting and for like, long days of amazingness with Karen and I, then you're gonna want to go to xxll.co/poland or xxll.co/brussels to snag your spot. And then at the time we're recording this, we have, they have not announced POT London, but we will be there. And so if you go to xxl.co/pot, you'll see all the POTs that are happening next year. Brad Crowell 11:47  That's right. Lesley Logan 11:48  So when London is there, you will see it there. And if it's not there, you can see all the other things. And just because we're sitting in there doesn't mean we're going to be at all those things. Brad Crowell 12:00  No, that's true. Lesley Logan 12:00  So don't get mad. Brad Crowell 11:57  We'll be at the London one. Lesley Logan 11:58  We'll be at the London one for sure. Well, I'll be teaching at the London one for sure. Brad Crowell 12:01  Oh yeah. Lesley Logan 12:02  Okay, now we have to answer an audience question, and then we can get into the amazingness of Ame Ledin. Brad Crowell 12:08  Yes. So okay, we had a great question. This is from SamCrecco. Samantha asks from IG, hi, I came across your page, and it has really motivated me to make a change. I am an elementary school teacher, and I've been teaching Pilates on the side for about two years now. As a former dancer, I've always had a passion for health and wellness. I'm looking to teach Pilates abroad for a short amount of time, maybe three months, but I'm open to longer. I was wondering if you have any suggestions on how to get started. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Sam.Lesley Logan 12:40  Yeah, so, Sam, you it's so here's what is amazing about being a Pilates instructor. You can kind of go anywhere and get a job, like most studios need people. But on profitablepilates.com we actually had a great blog written by Roxy Menzies about being a traveling Pilates instructor, and it's like, I think that we published it like eight years ago and or maybe seven years ago, and it is still the top red blog, one of the top red blogs on the website, because it's such a hot topic. And so I absolutely recommend reading that book, reading that book, reading that blog, because she did that for years. She was a traveling Pilates instructor. She did it for years, until she settled down and had a family. So I would check out that blog post. There's also, and I think it's linked in that blog post, there's also, there, at least was a Facebook group for traveling Pilates instructors. Like, I'm not a I'm not hugely active on Facebook, so I understand, like, I don't know how that will work, but you can go in there and see what that is. And then there's a couple other apps where, like, studios will put job postings. I think, Planke does it P-L-A-N-K-E, the PMA has a job board. Essentially, though, like you would just be surprised what like, because here's the thing you're gonna need to know what your kind of style of teaching is called, because obviously that's for some students that's going to matter, or for you to enjoy yourself that might matter. And then sometimes they just post things in in groups, or they tell a friend, or you can, you can let people know. One of the girls who did eLevate, she actually ran someone's studio for six weeks in Hawaii. So she got to live in the woman's house and live in Hawaii on an island by the beach, and run her studio. So the woman could take six weeks off like, what a dream. I think it's amazing. Brad Crowell 14:20  I'm all about that. I mean, maybe not at this point in my life, because I do have a family and a house. But you know, if I was 20 years younger and in this position, it sounds so fun. Lesley Logan 14:32  Oh, if we still had the apartment in L.A. when we when we didn't have the studio, this would have been like, like, upper alley, but now I'm, like, just not gonna pay me enough. But, well, you're, you have to, but, but Sam is in the perfect place. Like, she's like that, and she should take advantage of it. I think, like so many people, like, oh, this is what I should do. No, if you are not like, like you, if you don't have like, a lease that you're like, dedicated to, like, if it's easy for you to be mobile., well, you should do that while you can, because you haven't you will meet and learn. Meet so many people, learn so many things. You'll learn about yourself. It's like, the same reason why you should come to Cambodia, like, there's just things you have to do in your life so that you can truly level up and figure out what you really want to do. Like, that's the cool thing about being a Pilates instructor. Maybe some people will do this for their whole lifetime, and some people will do it seasonally as a as like a thing that they do until they figure out what they want to do. I love that. So anyways.Brad Crowell 15:27  I'm in. Well, thanks for asking that question. If you have a question, you can ask us, go to beitpod.com/questions where you can leave a win or a question, beitpod.com/questions and last week, we got to read out one, and we'd love to hear one from you. So stick around. We'll be right back. We're going to dig into this great conversation that Lesley had with Amy Ledin, and we'll be right back. Brad Crowell 15:50  All right. Now, let's talk about Amy Ledin. Amy Ledin is a fat loss and mindset coach. She's the cofounder of Lean Bodies Consulting and the host of the F* It Podcast. She helps women in midlife create lasting transformation through training, nutrition and identity-based habit change. Great. Lesley Logan 16:09  What? Great. Brad Crowell 16:13  Great. Yeah, it's so great. Actually, you know what I really appreciated was I've been around you for so long now with your habits training with BJ Fogg, and just listening to you talk about the process and how it all works. And it was, it was really fun to listen to somebody else talk about habits and habit forming and building with her clients. But it's, I thought it was cool because it was identity-based habit change and not just like habit change. So that's pretty awesome. She uses tools like the DAC, which are her daily agreement cards, which we talked about all the way back in episode two, I think, or three. Lesley Logan 16:13  She was episode five. Brad Crowell 16:13  Just kidding, way back in the beginning, five, her DACs. She still uses those. She helps clients reprogram the mental loops that keep them stuck and build a body that reflects their discipline, a stage four nonsmall cell lung cancer fighter, Amy continues to lead and inspire through resilience, integrity and action. And yeah, I know. Lesley Logan 16:13  This was a big episode. Brad Crowell 16:13  This is a pretty big episode. It was also like.Lesley Logan 16:21  We're gonna spoil some things as we talk about it, so if you didn't listen, it won't be a surprise when you're listening. But like it was, she has cancer right now.Brad Crowell 17:06  Recurring, for the fourth time recurring, and this time it's, it's attacked her brain. Lesley Logan 17:10  I know I'm really upset. I'm like, I'm I'm frustrated for her. And we have another friend who's going through something similar. It's like, the second time, and you're just like, you know, like, it's just so frustrating because, like, of course, they're also the people, like, doing the work and caring for other people, and they're so generous and all that they do, and you're just like, like, why can't it be the fucking asshole over there? You know? Why? You know, but that doesn't get to be that person. So we can, we can get into that in a little bit. But I actually want to talk some other things. I did love that she said.Brad Crowell 17:58  Yeah, before that, I just wanted to say, you know, thanks for the update, Amy. And I just wanted to say that I appreciated her honesty. You know, I'm glad you asked the question the way you asked, which was like, how's it going with cancer? Do you still have cancer? What's what's going on? And she said, yes. And instead of being like, Oh, I'm so sorry. You said I'm sorry, but you know, like, how does that make you feel? Like, do you feel like? I can't remember exactly what you asked, but it was something about like, do you, are you sad, are you tired of being sorry? Are you tired of people saying that? And she said, I'm actually tired of it, and I'm tired of also being the strong one, because people always tell her wow, you might, you're so strong, you know. And she's like, I don't want to be that anymore. I've been doing that for a long time, fighting this, and it's, you know, she doesn't want to do that. So I just thought it was a really candid conversation about somebody who's going through something that, you know, the first times were probably like, debilitating and crushing, and this time it's almost, it's got to be, like, some kind of a routine at this point.Lesley Logan 19:08  I mean, I think we just talked about, like, how she didn't even tell them right away, because it's like, you just don't like, you just don't even want to, like, go through the things that people are going to say.Brad Crowell 19:17  We all know what they're going to say. I mean, we've, we've done it with our pets, you know and, you know. And I'm not, I'm not carrying them in that way. But the the recurring trauma of something that's tragic happening a second time, you know, I can only imagine what, yeah, you know, a fourth time, you know, so I just wanted to say thank you for asking it the way you did. And Amy, thanks for being candid and being willing to share. And you know.Lesley Logan 19:45  Also, like, I don't we were like, we would talk before the episode started and it didn't come up. No. And so I was like, oh, Jesus fuck. Like, you know shouldn't tell. And also, and here's the other thing, that it's really important for us to hear, at no point did I go. She never told me, like, as, if you know what I mean, like, like, it's an affront. You should have told me, how come you didn't tell me. It's like, I think it's, you know.Brad Crowell 20:08  That's like, narcissism. Lesley Logan 20:09  I, I don't even, it's, it might not mean you might not be a narcissist who does, who says that, and you still say, but like, it's, well, it's never, by the way, it's never about you. In fact, if, like, just okay, if you're someone in my life who I'm not calling it's probably not about you. It's probably me, most likely, 99.9% of the time, it's me. So you know, and so I if any of your friends are like me at all, it's also them, it's not you. So if it is you, you can just say, Hey, I'm actually a little surprised. And if it is me, I just want to know if it's not me. No, no need to say anything, but, like, it's probably not you, but so at no point did I think that, but I was just like, geez, this fucking sucks. She because she is so strong, but she's gonna be so tired, because people will always say to me, they're like, you're so resilient. It's like, I'm fucking tired of being resilient. So anyways, she's a badass. Let's get into some of the reasons why she is she said on body and identity, and this is another reason why I like the way that she talks about habits, because, like, she talks about it as embodying it. And I think I should have spot one of my clients the other day or the other another episode where she's like, I'm a healthy person, like, it's an identity that she wants to be, and a healthy person won't, like, cancel their Pilates session so I'm here even though I would prefer to be laying in bed, right? Like, so I was so proud of her. I was like, I'm so proud of you. Because, like, that's how you can that's how you can make changes in your life. It doesn't have to be habits. I make changes. And so she said on embodied identity, you have got to show up as the person you want to be. And so for Amy, she talked about how she puts on her makeup and she does her hair, and she consciously avoids verbalizing her pain or fatigue with what she's going through, managing her stage four cancer, because she's really focusing on your body goes in the direction you speak to it. Your body goes in the direction you speak to it. We've all heard like, where your energy goes. That's where it flows, right like, so you can focus on all the negative things that are happening in your life. And guess what you're gonna see all the negative things. And guess what you're watering all the you're literally watering the negative things. But if you're focusing on, and it's not a toxic positivity type of focus, but if you're focusing on showing up as the person you want to be, and putting your focus in that direction, it is going to get you there. And she said, she said she emphasized the power of maintaining her appearance as a tool to influence her self-perception. So I love this. I do this too, because whenever I feel a little tired, we'll run down if I look in the room like, oh, I didn't get dressed today, of course, like, but maybe it's I also I didn't sleep. But, like.Brad Crowell 22:49  I know what you mean, you just kind of, you know, roll out of bed and keep going and (inaudible).Lesley Logan 22:53  Some days it happens and you're like, oh, no wonder I'm feeling like, not myself. You put everything on. And even if that doesn't solve the world's problems, it kind of you look at yourself in the mirror, you go, I look good, right? Like, I look great. So she said, not many people realize that it's a big superpower. You want to see reflection of who you're wanting to be feeling like, like in the mirror, you know? So I think some people can get a little weird about, like, oh, putting on makeup and doing my hair. Like, that's so superficial. It's not, guys. Yes, there are people that are superficial who do that, but like, for most of us, it is kind of the thing that helps us show up more as the person we want to be because we're fighting on the outside.Brad Crowell 23:33  You know, it's like, I think corporate usually it's weird about it, because every you know, it can become like, a competition and stuff. But like, you know, there is a reason that people wear a suit and tie in a corporate environment, right. It changes the way you you it's supposed to change the way you act. Lesley Logan 23:53  Yeah, yeah. There's a reason why there's uniforms at schools. It's like, kind of so that everyone is, like, not in pajamas at school. But also, like, you know, supposedly supposed to help people, like, not be wanting to be each other. But like, kind of also like this, if it's your job to go to school, like, then you have to wear uniform, you know. So I get it. Brad Crowell 24:10  I definitely have found myself changing my shirt before I get on Zoom calls now where I'm like, you know, like, my old T shirts aren't really my vibe anymore, and as much as I enjoy them for, you know, running around or, you know, weekend, yard work, they're, they're the wrong vibe for when I'm coaching or I'm on a call or whatever. And, yeah, it definitely gives you a different perception of yourself.Lesley Logan 24:35  Yeah. And I think, like, I just think that, you know, a lot of a lot of us are taking notes from people who maybe what they're saying means well. Like, especially if you're like, oh my God, I have to spend so much time getting ready every day. Yeah, you don't need that stuff. But like, if you are trying to feel like a more positive person who feels strong and as a leader, like these things can help. You know, Dr Celeste Holbrook calls that she calls them harm reduction acts, like she would love to not wear makeup, and she would love to not have to put on a clothes that match, but for her to get her message out, she understands that there is a way that she needs to show up, and if she shows up that way, she reduces the harm she could get in the comments. And so she also, like, does this thing in the morning, so that she can put these things on, so can show up in the way that she wants to be received, so that she can give her message out there. So there's so many different reasons to have things that help you show up as the identity that you want to be. So you can actually do the thing that you want to do. Brad Crowell 25:41  Yeah, well, that, that leads pretty straight into what I enjoyed, what she was talking about. She was talking about, how we, how do we create change in ourselves, and how do we, you know, habit forming, and all that kind of stuff, the self-talk, the way that we we what we're thinking. It's really interesting, because I'm like, super analytical and a little bit sarcastic is the wrong word, but cynical is the right word, right? So I'm a little bit cynical. So, you know, I feel like there can be this dissidence of like, oh, when I say these happy things, I'm still lying to myself, because it's not reality. But what, what she's talking about were, was basically the way that you say the things to your brain really matters, and it really needs to be identity shifting, the things that you say to yourself. So like, for example, what I've noticed this is just very basic, but if I wake up and I go, I feel tired. I probably feel tired all day. But if I wake up and I and I say, I'm ready to go, then I'm going to be ready to go all day. You know, especially if you're like, I feel good, I feel good. I'm ready. Let's do this right? And so in that same vein, she advocates for scripting or writing out your day as if you were already your future self. So this is like future casting, right? And this is also like, you know, you call it manifesting, or whatever, but the idea is that you're who is it that you want it to be? Who do you want to be? Who do you how do you want to operate? You know, how do you want to think if you create a script for that, you know? And she talks about, you know, I am someone who is good at making decisions, and I make decisions that benefit my myself, my future, my family, and, you know, every decision that I make is helps lead us towards the path that we're going down. This kind of a thing where it doesn't, it's, you know, it certainly can be right? And she said, script this, because what happens is you're rewiring your brain, right? She said, your brain doesn't actually see the difference between your future self being a scripted version of yourself and the current self, right? And what you're doing. She said, since 91% of your thoughts are repetitive, which is crazy, because I thought it was only 80s, she said, 91. Lesley Logan 25:42  I think it's probably 91. Brad Crowell 25:42  She said, consciously scripting is a new you know, your new reality is essential for breaking away from old patterns. And you're trying to show that you can change. You know you're you're changing who you are and when you as you're scripting this, whatever it is going to be for the future, this mantra that you're going to create for yourself, there will come a point that you're you start to adopt it in the way that you think. So it might sound cheesy and weird, but give it a try. You know, I think this is actually really interesting.Lesley Logan 26:51  Yeah. I actually really like this. And I think, like, for the people who are like, I'm so busy, you can do this on a commute, because you can just talk to text. You can just talk to text.Brad Crowell 27:54  Yeah, well, I but I think the idea is that if you're scripting it, you want to read it. Lesley Logan 28:02  Well, you know, but talk to text, then you can read it. Like, if you don't have if you're like, my morning is so busy, It's so chaotic, I got to get everybody out of the door, you could then, on your way to work, talk to text and a note on your phone. Here's how my days here's how my day went to it's the end of the day. Here's how my day went. Like you're scripting the day, right? And then when you get to your desk, you can just read it. You already wrote it. Brad Crowell 26:04  I don't quite think that's what she means. I think she's saying. Lesley Logan 26:51  You have to handwrite it. Brad Crowell 26:51  No, she's saying, map it out. It's your thing that you do as your it's the same thing. You repeat it every day. It's the same one. Lesley Logan 26:51  Oh, you're doing the same one every single day.Brad Crowell 26:51  You're creating a script, and you're retraining your brain and the way that you think. So, how is it that you want to think, let's write these things down? Lesley Logan 27:03  If you're already your future self.Brad Crowell 29:23  Right. As if you were already your future self? Oh, okay, I like what you're talking about. Because what you're talking about is, is more like the brain dump kind of a thing of like, almost like the morning, morning pages slash notes.Lesley Logan 29:49  How this amazing day is going to be, well, you could still do this part. You could still do it voice to text. You just have to the same one every time. Brad Crowell 29:49  Right. But then you have to remember it. So. Lesley Logan 29:49  I think you will, I think you'll even get more (inaudible) you probably can get better at it. I think you probably even get more details and more nuances, and the smells and the sounds will be there. Yeah, I'm just trying to help the people out who are like, look, I know what they're gonna say, Brad, they're gonna say, I don't have time to do this every morning. No time. So I'm trying to give them the permission to find a way. Brad Crowell 30:20  Let's change that. The I don't have time thing, I don't, I don't. I think that we're making it lot bigger than it needs to be. Like, okay, maybe the first time you have to spend some time thinking about who you want to be yourself. But you need to do that anyway. Yeah, right. So one, you know, but I think your mantra could literally be two sentences or five sentence. It doesn't have to be paragraphs. We're talking about, you know, something that you can build into your morning routine as a habit, and it becomes a habit, you know. And maybe it's when you're brushing your teeth you see, you know, the note on the mirror that says daily mantra, or daily you know, you know, identity shifting, or whatever it is that you, you know.Lesley Logan 31:02  Yeah, you could put it somewhere where you could read it every morning and every night. I like that.Brad Crowell 31:05  Yeah. I mean, I don't even think you need to write it out and stick it on the mirror. You could, but even on your phone. You just need something like, You need to like Lesley says, tie it to something that you do daily so that you're gonna see it like, for example, the making coffee and doing push ups while I'm waiting for the coffee to brew.Lesley Logan 31:23  I like it while you're brushing your teeth, because you do probably do that twice a day. I like it being on the mirror and not on your phone so you don't get distracted. My ADHD, as soon as they open their phone, they're getting fucking lost and they're somewhere else. Brad Crowell 31:35  I think that's wise. Lesley Logan 31:36  And if they don't update that note every day, then the note gets buried. So like, let's just put it on paper on your mirror, and you can read it twice a day while you're brushing your teeth, because while you're brushing your teeth, you're like, man, two minutes is a long time. It's a long time. So what if you read it for the whole two minutes?Brad Crowell 31:51  What if, I mean again, it doesn't have to be two minutes long. It could just be a few sentences. Lesley Logan 31:51  No, it could be a few sentences that you read over and over again for two minutes. Brad Crowell 31:58  Yeah, that's cool. Stick around. We'll be right back. We're gonna dig into some really great Be It Action Items that Amy shared with us like she's a powerhouse, y'all, I'm very continuously impressed by her. Lesley Logan 32:10  I know. Brad Crowell 32:10  Yeah, well, we'll be right back. All right. So finally, let's talk about those Be It Action Items. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Amy Ledin? So funny enough, I'm going to let you say what she got excited about. But she she also said she's got this interesting framework that she created about habit building, and she calls it five for 50, okay? And, yeah, I thought this was clever. I know there, you know there's you talk a little bit differently about the length of time it takes to build a habit. Lesley Logan 32:45  Yeah. I actually this idea. Cares thing (inaduible) Brad Crowell 32:49  Wait, wait, let me tell the idea. Okay, so 5 for 50, what is it? 5 for 50, you're picking five specific things that you want to turn into habits, and you're going to perform these habits for 50 consecutive days in a row, right? So little redundant there consecutive means in a row. So 50 consecutive days you're going to perform these five specific habits that you want to change. And there's one caveat, four out of five of those must be things you genuinely intend to continue to do long term. So you're not picking five things that you might want to try out. That's not what we're talking about. We're talking about four of the things you definitely want to build into your life. And the fifth thing, maybe that's the thing you want to try out, right? And the examples that she gave were, she has a 26 year old son who was like, I really want to learn to draw. And he he said, I'm going to do it for 30 minutes every day. And and after a few days, he was like, whoa, this is overkill. I I'm not an amazing (inaudible) I reduced it to 10 minutes a day, but he still did it 10 minutes a day for 50 days.Lesley Logan 33:52  Yeah, and that. And so she does give there's a you have the first week to adjust the habit so I. Brad Crowell 33:59  Increased his time because he got really into drawing. And by the end of 50 days, she said he was like, Michael Jordan of drawing, yeah, yeah, yeah. She said it's amazing what you can do. You know, you know how you know whether it's playing the guitar or whatever it is, you know, the but the so the fifth habit is reserved for personal growth area that the person wants to explore. This will allow you to dabble in it, to see if it's something you'd like to continue to, you know, without the pressure of a forever commitment. So for her, it was getting back into journaling. She's like, you know, I used to do it. I was really intentional about it before I got out of the habit of it. And like, I kind of want to do it, but I'm not really sure if I want to do it again. So she was like, I'm going to add that in as my fifth thing. So, you know, and, yeah, that seven day window gives you time to redefine, redefine those agreements. There's 50 those five things over the 50 days, you know, if the initial commitment proves too much. And I thought, I thought this was kind of clever and and so that said, I wanted to check in with you, Lesley, because you said, oh, I started learning Tarot. Lesley Logan 34:47  Yeah, tarot. Brad Crowell 34:49  Tarot, I said, tarot. Lesley Logan 35:00  I know, like I'm rowing a boat, like I'm learning to row, yeah, tarot, yeah. I'm still learning it. I'm still learning it. I have missed a few days on the return of our, of our coming here, but I actually, except for, according to the app, I missed a couple times. I think that's because of the plane. Like, I, you know, I actually do believe I did it on the days that I did it, but, like, it was like, you missed it, but I actually did almost 50 days in a row on that and I am not a little hiatus, because we have to get back to life. And it just was like, Okay, this is actually filling a job and not like a hobby and so, but I love it. I'm really into it. And I just, I'm really excited, because I just got a notification that this 2026 journal is coming, and it's like a daily Tarot journal, so it will help me with my because with Tarot, you have to, like, immerse yourself in it, to learn it. You know, like, you got to learn the cards, but then you got to draw the cards. And so I'm trying to find these different ways to make sure it's around me. So it's easy to do sure, but I am loving this. This is really fun for me, and it's also really interesting when I tell people I'm learning it, because they're like, oh, are you new readings? And it's like, no, no, no, not everything that I do is going to become something I get paid to do. This is for me, doing it for myself, but I but I actually like, I really like, here's the thing. We can all talk about the same thing in different ways, and some people are going to love it, and some really love other things. I actually really like the way that B.J. does habits, which is what I'm going to go into the rest of the of the month. That being said, this might be exactly what you want to do. Or you can actually go, Hmm, I wonder what my five habits would be. You can actually use what I am doing the next the for the next month to come up with your 5 for 50. And then starting on day one of the year, you could go through the first 50 days of the year using Amy's, so you can actually do both.Brad Crowell 37:05  Sure, I dig it. Well. Anyway, I thought that. I thought it was a good like, I love it. It's a good challenge. You know, it's a challenge, but it's a good one. Lesley Logan 37:12  And I think it, I think it is a challenge, and you're not. It's not like, they do this every 50 days where they start new things, like they, they do this and then like they, I think if she said it was a couple times a year, it's like, not like, every 50 days, like, Okay, it's time for our new 5 for 50. Like, you've run out of things to do. So my Be It Action Items, she is so clever, she actually used her DACs and the Be It acronym. So.Brad Crowell 37:36  DACs are the daily action commitments, which for her were cards that she was writing on. Lesley Logan 37:41  Yeah, like, those cute little like, recipe cards, yeah. So B is bold, pick one agreement that matters. So your bold action, and that she is saying is, pick an agreement that matters, and then you're gonna do E, which is executable, write it in real words, not vague words, be specific on what you're shooting for. And then I the intrinsic is link it to how you want it to feel, not how much you want to weigh or how much you want to make. So like, not anything like external, but how you want, how that one thing is going to make you feel on the inside. And then T targeted, start today, not someday, be very specific of when you're going to start doing the thing. So I thought that was, like, a really fun way for her to use her DACs with the Be It. I was like, oh, look at that, be it till you see it right there.Brad Crowell 38:29  Yeah, it's I thought it was quite clever.Lesley Logan 38:32  Yeah, I know. I love when people give me my acronym back. I don't want to make it a rule, but, like, it does make me smile. I'm not saying anything guests who are listening to this that maybe you should do it, but, but it's really good. I can't believe it's been 555 episodes. Brad Crowell 38:52  Wait. Lesley Logan 38:53  She was on Episode five.Brad Crowell 38:54  Yeah, this is episode 611.Lesley Logan 38:56  I know, but she was on episode she was on episode 610 so she, it's been 555 from her. Brad Crowell 39:02  605 baby. Lesley Logan 39:06  Oh, nailing it. Nailing it on these episodes (inaudible) wow. I, like, don't even have my brain doubled down on that, like, I doubled down on that, and I really was like, oh, that's 555, that equals 610, five, five plus five. That's 10. Really, this is why I actually write down math when I do it and not do it in my head. Anyways.Brad Crowell 39:37  We listen to a pod where he says, I don't do live math so but yeah, maybe we should adopt that.Lesley Logan 39:43  Clearly I don't do live math. All right, I am Lesley Logan, and I, I am imperfect. Clearly from this episode,Brad Crowell 39:51  I'm Brad Crowell. Thanks for being here.Lesley Logan 39:51  Yeah, make sure you share this with a friend who needs to hear it. It's really, really great. And also we want to hear, Amy's gonna want to hear, especially like, did you do 5 and 50? Did you pick an agreement? Did you do anything like share it with her. I know she'll love to hear it, and it will inspire her and empower you. And until next time, Be It Till You See It. Brad Crowell 40:11  Bye for now. Lesley Logan 40:12  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Valentina Naforniță și Cristian Spătaru dau un recital unic la Fain & Simplu.Angajată la celebra Operă de Stat din Viena încă din 2011, când era pe băncile facultății, Valentina a devenit rapid una dintre preferatele publicului european. De altfel, chiar și apariția sa pe scena vieneză a venit în urma unui moment unic, remarcabil, care a marcat istoria BBC – ului, moment pe care îl povestește chiar invitata.Prezența sa în fața lui Mihai Morar marchează totuși o situație aparte în cariera sopranei. Mamă a 3 copii alături de Cristian, se declară gata să își orienteze viața în altă parte decât spre scena de muzică! Dacă este doar un moment sau nu, rămâne să afli din podcastul de astăzi, unde ai parte și de câteva piese cântate de cei doi invitați. Iar una dintre ele este disponibilă exclusiv aici în această interpretare!În luna în care românii își sărbătoresc Ziua Națională și se pregătesc de sărbători, la Fain & Simplu vine una dintre cele mai frumoase voci românești de peste Prut.Un cadou făcut de Mihai Morar.

Pauza de bine de azi are misiunea de a salva reputația vision board-urilor, că n-au greșit cu nimic, dar e o perioadă în care le văd atacate în diverse strategii de marketing pentru promovarea atelierelor de final de an.Încep cu a-ți spune că deși fac vision boards de 8 ani, îmi plac, mă ajută și voi continua să le fac, cred că poți să te descurci foarte bine și fără ele.Dacă ți-ai făcut vreodată vision board și ai sperat că va funcționa ca o baghetă magică și că Universul îți va pune în brațe tot ce îți dorești fără ca tu să miști vreun deget, ai aflat probabil că lucrurile nu stau chiar așa.Nu vision board-ul e problema! Nu e el de vină dacă lucrurile pe care le-ai lipit pe el nu devin realitate. Problema nu e nici cum îi spui. Poți să-I zici vision board, becoming board, action board, dream board…Problema e CUM faci un vision board.În pauza de bine de azi ne uităm la 8 motive pentru care un astfel de panou nu are impactul dorit.Dacă te tentează ideea de a participa la experiența New Year, REAL You, trebuie să știi că nu e un simplu atelier de vision board.E o călătorie profundă  - cu mai multe etape, nu doar întâlnirea online - în care te ghidez printr-un proces de introspecție, iar partea de vision board e doar cireașa de pe tort.❗️Important: Pentru grupa de pe 6 decembrie înscrierile se închid pe 04.12 la 12:00.Detalii & înscrieri: https://www.cristinaotel.ro/new-year-real-you/M-aș bucura să-mi dai de veste că ai ascultat episodul, dacă ți-a plăcut, dacă te-a ajutat.

Lesley Logan reconnects with fat loss and mindset coach Amy Ledin to talk about the habits that actually stick in midlife.

It's after Sarah Blakely. I pretend that I try to show up as her because I'm not as outgoing and as creative and fun and bubbly as Sarah. But when I create that character, my current self doesn't see it as a threat if I just say I'm just playing this role, you know. I'm coming on the podcast, playing a role that helps me show up as my best self. Like, I think a lot of us like forget that we have to, you know, we got to do it enough to become it.Lesley Logan 0:29  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 1:13  Be It babe, holy moly, this episode is one for the books. I mean, her first one was one for the books. She's fabulous and she's amazing. We cover a lot of topics. You can insert whatever it is that you want to be until you see in for what we're talking about in these ideas. Basically, I wanted to have Amy Ledin back, and she is back, and, like, top notch, better than ever. And the reason is, is because we are going to do a really fun series on habits, and Amy is the queen of how she gets people to create habits that are not torturous and also that allow them to really become the person they want to be. And I mean, every different example is a be it till you see it. So this week, it'll be Amy Ledin plus a recap, and then next week I'll kick off a series on how I help people with habits. There are two different ways, but you then can choose the adventure that works for you. And I'm really excited about it. I believe in what we just discussed in this episode so much, and I can't wait to hear what's coming. And then I want you to let us know, like, how are you doing? Are you able to make the habits to help you be it till you see it? So get ready, buckle up. We have a few weeks to talk about this topic. And first, it's the one and only Amy Ledin. Lesley Logan 2:24  Okay, Be It babe. Holy frickin moly. I can't even believe it. I am so freaking excited to see the woman who's on my screen right now. Like, I have saw it on my day. Like, this, is it two o'clock yet? Is it two o'clock yet? Amy Ledin is back. Episode Five. Can you (inaudible) I don't know what number this is but it's over 600.Amy Ledin 2:44  Wow, that's crazy.Lesley Logan 2:47  I know. I know. And you, oh, I have to tell you this, Amy, my mom heard your episode when it came out. She literally still only talks about that one out of all the podcasts. She's like, that woman with the cards, that woman, and then you had, like, the boss, the boss bitch, and like something else, and she's still Amy Ledin 3:06  Oh yeah, your inner bitch, inner boss. Lesley Logan 3:07  Oh yes, she quotes you to this day. It's been four years. Amy Ledin 3:13  I love it. I love it. Lesley Logan 3:15  So Amy, in case people are new to us, which there's probably a lot of people. Can you remind them who you are and what you rock at? Amy Ledin 3:22  Yes. Okay, so I'm Amy Ledin, as you know, and I am a fat loss and mindset coach, is what I would say. That's my forte. But I'm a podcaster. I'm a mom of five kids, you know, I'm a wife, a homeschool mom, you know, all the things you know, I'm someone that has overcome, you know, I've lost 90 pounds. I am a stage four non small cell lung cancer, you know, fighter. I am now, right now, I've been in remission. I wouldn't call real remission, but no evidence of active disease three times, and this fourth time that it's come back, it's spread to my brain. So I'm on all new medications. So I would say that's the biggest update since the last time I've been on here. But I am, you know, I am a perimenopause, menopause, you know, menopause coach, and that's because my audience is growing up with me. You know, I'm 47 so I'm in the thick of it as well. So I'd say that's who I am.Lesley Logan 4:18  Oh my gosh, Amy, I had no idea it had gone into the brain. That is because Brad and I were like, I wonder how she's doing. I wonder if she's back in remission. That has to be hard. Like, is it hard, I mean, or maybe you just don't want to feel sorry, like, maybe it gets annoying to feel sorry for yourself, like, I just want to, like, do you mind if we chat about it a little bit?Amy Ledin 4:34  It is annoying and no, and you know what? I love that you're just like, you ask it, because people don't. So it's been almost a year since I found out that it had spread, and it was a shock. Like, I was really shocked. In fact, I was coming back to my podcast. I'd already recorded several episodes, and then I got that news, and I just, it really did knock me. I really got this, like, just attitude of just, I was really angry. Like, I'm like, I don't get it. Like, what am I doing wrong, which is just the wrong attitude. But that took me a few months to kind of feel sorry for myself. And then it was like going back to all the things that you know I needed to do to, you know, all the things that I always did before. You know, my keeping my promises and having a routine and building these habits and really living in a future, you know, like living as if I am already there. And you know, that helped me kind of come back. But I will say, you know, it's really only been a couple months of me really feeling like myself again, because I've just been battling a lot of that, you know, loops of just, you know, panic and fear, and am I going to be lucky this time? And you know, all of that, so, you know, it's then I've really had to, honestly, just get into a high gear. And this is what I'm always good at, is when, you know, shit hits the fan. I am someone that does the opposite of what most do, and that is, they, they just crumble. Like I said, I had three, I say three months of, like, feeling sorry for myself. I was still operating at what would probably be someone else's like, 85% I think where mine came in was when I don't believe in myself, like, or if I'm having that fear, I can't do, say, podcasting, because it was one of the areas that I have to be super authentic. So it's the first thing that actually goes off the books, and it's actually the thing that I used to love the most, because it was, like my therapy, so I almost have to be in full alignment for me to come back. So like, right now I'm getting ready to relaunch, and I'm actually excited for the first time, because I'm like, Okay, I'm living it. I can share because, you know, you know this yourself, like it's an energy transfer that you're doing right now with other people, and so it is all about having the right energy to really get into that person. And so that's kind of, you know, where, it has been hard. But you know what, like, what makes me feel the best is showing up at a very super high level, levels that people would say, why are you even trying this? And that is just because I am proving that you can do so much.Lesley Logan 7:04  Yeah, I love what you said, like, you know, living as if I'm there, because that's the whole be it till you see it motto, right? Like, it's just, like, we're just getting there. And I just think, like, it's, I feel you in that, like, when something doesn't go my way, like, I am also very good at hitting, like, hitting the fifth gear. Like, when Covid happened, we were in the air coming back from Cambodia. I was like, okay, hold on, what don't they have? They need this. Oh, I can do that. Okay, there's that, right? And that's how we bought this house. Recently, we had a situation, and we got the worst news in the entire world, and the first thing for me to shut down is like, I have to, we talked about this before we hit record, I have to add value. I have to be on integrity. I have to have integrity with my word like that is such a value of mine. So we're going to even though we weren't allowed, what happened is, we're turning around the border with the right paperwork and the right permit, and they still wouldn't let us in. I was like, we're still going to do the event. We're still going to operate integrity. They're still getting everything that they wanted. They just don't get to hug me in 3d but I'm still going to do it. But the thing that had to go away is I couldn't show up on Instagram because I, like, all I wanted to do was, like, cry and go, like, this fucking sucks. But I'm not that person that I'm not the person who does that this fucking sucks. I'm the person who's like, Okay, this is what I went through, and this is what I did, and this is what I'm doing, right? So not that, like, my situation is all brain cancer. I want to make sure the listeners here, I heard that. I can hear that, but like, I can understand, like having to let go of something you love or that you enjoy doing, or that as an outlet for people to get to know you until you're in a place where you can go, okay, how am I going to operate in this way? Amy Ledin 8:36  Well, and no one wants, I mean, I'm not saying it needs to be like this toxic positivity, but day in and day out of someone just like being boohoo is also not a place that's really going to serve anyone, especially myself. I'm really not a big believer in sitting in it, so even when I'm in pain, my family knows I'm rarely going to tell you that I'm hurting or that I'm tired. Just know that's pretty much always for me. But why would I verbalize things like, I mean, your body goes to the direction that you speak to it, and so I just don't do that. So I'll take on the makeup, and I will do my hair and those things, because I see my reflection all day long. I really believe that's a big superpower that people don't realize. Like, you want to see a reflection of what you want to be feeling like, I don't feel that great. But when I see that other reflection of like, I'm like, oh, okay, yeah, versus man, if I didn't do anything, I think it just make me start to go more downhill. And I mean, everybody's different, but I'm a really big believer you got to show up as the person you want to be. Lesley Logan 9:37  Yeah, I love that, and it's true. Like, I not only do I it's not about toxic positivity. We had a really great episode about, like, happiness, and I was, I interviewed her, like, when there was the fires in California, and I said, you know, like, there's a bunch of people who like, why their houses are burning down. They're like, this is gonna mean something. And I'm like, that's not feeling your feelings. Like, yes, I do believe that everything does happen for a reason. I do believe that like, when doors close, it's because another door is going to open. Like, of course, but in the moment, you are allowed to feel the feeling. Amy Ledin 10:06  (inaudible) time. Lesley Logan 10:07  Yeah, like, feel your feelings. Amy Ledin 10:09  No one needs to tell me as I'm getting the news. Amy, this is because you know what, you can handle it. You know what I'm about ready to like, I'm, you know, that was the biggest thing that I really got tired of people like, oh my gosh, you're so strong. Like, I'm actually tired of being strong. You know what I mean?Lesley Logan 10:25  I do know what you mean. I'm going to say you're so resilient. I don't check on you. I'm like, I'm so tired of being resilient over it. But I do, I do think that, like, at what I also cannot handle is, like, why I can't be the person who's like, going to tell you what I'm going through in the process. I don't want the apologies. I don't want the I'm sorry for you. I don't want any of that stuff, because now I have to respond to that, because now I have to say, thank you.Amy Ledin 10:52  Well, I didn't even actually, and, you know, trust me, I'm going through therapy for this exact thing is, I actually didn't tell my family for a few months. I wanted to get like, several treatments, and my, not my, not my immediate family, like Mike's, like my parents and stuff, because I didn't want to go through that cycle right there. I wanted to already have an answer for, like, this is the diagnosis. This is what we're doing. I've already been doing it, and I've even had XYZ because I didn't, you know, you'll not see anything online about it, you know. You know, in our own private, you know, we have a paid group of women, 550 women, that, obviously I did, because I'd lost a lot between one of our training blocks, and I knew they'd see it in the filming. I film every round, you know, videos, and so I was open with them. But otherwise, I'm not that way, because I don't like the I don't like, to go through the phase of, like, let me give you, you know, I'm, I don't need that. Lesley Logan 11:45  Yeah. Well, also, like, it's, you know, you have to feel the feelings. You can grieve, the things that, like, were what you were expecting. And then it's true, we have to go. So what can I do? Like, what are the actions that I can take? Like, what is gonna what if I'm in pain all day, like, what can I do to make myself feel good and like, I agree, like, my days are better when I, like, Get up and get dressed for the day and put things on and like, go, okay, whoa. You know, we nailed that. Amy Ledin 12:11  Yeah. And I mean movement, like, I've had some really rough times over this last year where I've had to learn that if you get no mobility at all, it actually just increases that, the aches, the pains, you know, I had, I think it was like three days that I actually did not leave the house. And finally, like day three of my goal was just to get to the end of our driveway. And I just started to think, like, I mean, even if it's small, that is so much better than and getting sunlight, and, you know, all the things that just, really, honestly, I think, help our body. We're kind of like a plant that we need to, like, get out and, like, get in some soil, and, you know, so that's something that, you know, really, I think, is important, you know, as well. Lesley Logan 12:55  Yeah, I know, like, a body in motion, like, stays in motion, right? Like, it's easier for me. Yeah, I came home from my tour, and my girlfriend saw me like that next morning at the gym. She's like, wow, you're so good at being consistent. I'm like, first of all, I do have a trainer that will not renew with me if I don't check this off on the app. Second, I paid for it, so we're gonna do it. Third, if I use the excuse, oh, I just got home or I have a trip, I will never have, oh, consistent workout, and then I'm always having to start again, and then that is just like, never gonna feel good.Amy Ledin 13:30  And I say that to clients that I'm like, think about the person that's traveling all the time, like you're taking five days to land back into your life from a trip, and then like, five more days to get, like, recalibrated and like, that's just, you know, wasted time, right? So, yeah, and, I mean, you know this yourself, like, having habits, having routine, having structure, is just one more thing that I think helps, like, even your body feel at peace. At least for me, like, that's the last thing I need to be worrying about, is that. So it just feels good to get right back into like, I need to make sure I'm getting my walks in. I need to make sure I'm getting, like, my sleep routine, you know, like, that's a skill in itself, right?Lesley Logan 14:09  Yes. Well, that that is, I mean, like, everyone's like, how's it gonna be back? You must be tired. I'm like, oh no, well rested. Very behind on emails, because my sleep is going to come before my emails. But thank you so like, I'm well rested, all of my all of my Pilates, all of my weight training, all happened, not the emails, you know, you gotta have priorities. Amy Ledin 14:30  (inaudible) with the self-care. Lesley Logan 14:31  Yeah, so, okay, so you brought it up. So kicking off a habits block, because I hate the new year, new you stuff. It's not my favorite thing. I know you like, I've heard you talk about, like, upgrades. Like, I think that each year is a time for us to reflect. And like, we can think about the change what I'm bringing into the new year, but like, you're still you going into the new year with more experiences and and, and also smarter, because you've hopefully reflected on those and you've thought about these things, you experienced them. So I wanted to help people, like, understand how they can be it till they see it with their habits. And of course, you come to mind because people loved Episode Five. It's probably one of the most cited episodes we've had. It's come up many times. People still talk about it. But what are some of the tools that you use to to have habits? Because, my goodness, like, even with you've got five kids, you've got a business, you home school like you have to have habits or probably nothing gets done.Amy Ledin 15:24  Totally and we actually do it as a family. So I'm a big believer, you know, habits are not sexy because they need to be forever. So I'm a big believer in that you've got to make your habits fun, and you got to get creative around gamifying things that help you, like, level up. So you have your like, daily habits that you want to eventually just become forever things like, for me, it's like a daily walk, you know, three liters of water, like things that I just want to be background noise, but for a season, I mean, I may need to put them, like right front and center. And so we started creating something that we call 5 for 50 and it's five habits for 50 days. And the reason we do this is you pick five habits. But the key is, it's five that you need to do for the full 50 days, and four of them you have to intend to keep long term, like, don't start something for 49 days or 50 days that you don't really think maybe, you know, it might be a smaller version of that, but it's daily things. And so we do it as a family, you know, sometimes twice a year, typically like when mom's going through something hard, and I'm like, hey, you know what? Let's do 5 for 50 as a family. Because I always know, then we push ourselves like we just, I mean, I just feel better about myself. And so. (inaudible)Lesley Logan 16:35  And also it sounds like it gives you something else to focus on. You know. Amy Ledin 16:38  It is and and it's fun to see what the kids do like we so we did four that you wanted to do indefinitely, and the fifth one was some personal growth area where you want to dabble in it to see if it's like something you like. So, like one of my son, my 26 year old, he did that he had to draw for 30 minutes every day for, you know, 50 days. You know, my other daughter did guitar. And it also taught them that, like, wow, when you do, you know the compounding effect of this habit over time. And so I like, you know what I like about a timeline on something again, is that habits aren't sexy. They get boring for people. And so when you gamify, or when you do something where you're like, okay, I have a block, I have a start and a finish, what you're hoping at the finish is to drop those off of like you're right in front of you, writing down, and they just have become part of, like, your identity. They've just they you're now just pulled to do those things, because they've just become automatic. Now I test myself once I take them off, if I see that they're not I might reintroduce that like on say, like my DAC cards that I talked about on Episode Five, where I then write them in a structure of, like, these are the things that I'm keeping promises to during the day, but the Five For HIT 50 is really it's a habit one, there I tell my kids, I'm like, these are things that you know, maybe you're even doing them, but now you want to do them with like perfection, because you know how you do anything is how you do everything. Like, I tell people, I anchor my morning with my bed making. And it's funny, because when I make my bed, I literally take everything off. Like, Eric's like, is it seriously that, you know, necessary, to do? I'm like, yes, because it is a metaphor for how I want my day to go and how I want to treat myself, and that I don't cut corners. I don't I treat it like it's a hotel bed where I want the sheet sure. could I pull, like, we hardly move some nights where I literally could probably pull it back, but there's probably some little scenes down in the bottom. And I do find this. I find that it takes I've set a timer once, it only takes me, like three minutes and like 32 seconds, and I'm like the whole time I say mantras to myself, but I say this is a metaphor for how I want to show up. So I tell my kids, maybe they're habits you're already doing. Maybe you're brushing your teeth morning and night, but maybe it's going to be morning and night for the full two minutes, you know, with intention or whatever it may be, right? And what the kids see is these little things that become measurable really build your confidence. They start to think outside of what those are. And they're like, big fingers, you know, I find that my kids start coming up with ideas of, like, businesses, and that's just because they're believing in themselves. You know, like my daughter, she's like, I'm gonna sign up for soccer. And I'm like, Oh, really. Because she's like, going into high school and she's never played, and this was Leilani this last year, and I'm like, I'm so proud of her. Lesley Logan 19:21  She's going to high school? Amy Ledin 19:23  She's grade nine. Can you believe that?Lesley Logan 19:25  I can't Amy because I thought I haven't aged a bit. Amy Ledin 19:30  Yeah. So she, and she decided that, you know, out of the blue, that she wanted to start that, and I knew a lot of it had to do with doing these types of personal development things, where, when you can start measuring these habits like it's inevitable you're going to feel better about yourself. I mean anything from like Atomic Habits that I learned was when you start to even if it's two push ups a day, it's measuring that and seeing that compound effect over time. And it's not about the push ups. I tell people, it's what it represents that you do what you say you're going to do, and that you do it to the fullest. They're not like, half assed, like, that's why when I say what you write, you respect it, like, when you say you're gonna make your bed every morning. Don't just, like, throw it, because that's really how you're going to show up in all these other areas. Are you going to be the person that cuts the corner? Or are you the person that it's like, when I say I'm doing it till 5:30 it's till 5:30. Do you know what I mean, it's not 5:28.Lesley Logan 20:22  I actually really like the idea of like, one of them can be one, you just like, are testing out. Because I do think that when people are creating like habits that they want in their perfectionist tendencies, it's like, it's got to be all or nothing, and they're not giving themselves this permission. It's almost like, let me see like for right now. So I interviewed a girl who talked about tarot, and I said, I've always wanted to know about tarot because I was like, never allowed to play with tarot and and she's like, she's like, she's like, yeah, tarot actually was in the church. It was a way for you to self-reflect. And I was like, oh, well, tell me more. She's like, yeah, no, it was way to self-reflect, and you can actually use it as a tool to kind of figure out what's going on in your heart and your mind. I was like, oh, what a cool way for me to journal. And I have ever since hearing from like, interviewing her. I'm like, maybe I so I was like, I want to learn this, but then when you go to learn something new, it's like, it's hard, it's hard to take in the new stuff when you got the other stuff. And so I've, like, tried different books, and I was like, okay, here's what I do. I'm going to take this app. I'm going to do it for 30 days, but now I'm going to just put as my five for 50, and I'm going to see if, after 50 days, do I still want to learn this. Because it's also okay for me to say, you know, that was interesting and I didn't do what I wanted to do, and that's okay, you know, we can let things go, but we gave it our full effort.Amy Ledin 21:38  And telling your brain you can stop it at 50. Some of these long term habits that, like, let's say meditation, like, let's say you've wanted to dabble in it, but you're like, the idea of knowing it's something you really should implement forever kind of just seems like daunting. I'll be honest. Like, I'm like, oh crap, something I gotta do forever. Let's just wait to do that. But if you tell me, hey, just dabble in it for 50 days, see how you feel now be 100% for those 50 days, because that's the key. Like, it is crazy what happens when you go all in on anything, even if it's five minutes, if you're like, Hey, I'm going to just for five minutes a day, do this like our kids, because we let them choose the duration, and we did allow them within the first week of once we started it, you could change like, like, my one son, he was like, 30 minutes of drawing every day was just too much. I realized within the first few days that like sitting there with something that I'm not even, like, familiar with yet, because he's, like, he's 26 trying to get into it. So he and me, within the first week, we let them redefine the agreement you don't want to wait too long, because sometimes that's just your voice of compromise going, oh, so that's why it's like a seven day window. We say, okay, you've got seven days to come back to the drawing board. And I think he shortened his by 15 to 15 because he's like, realistically, I'm gonna hate it if I tell myself this, whereas, like my other kid was like, I'm gonna bump mine to 20 minutes, because 10 is not long enough or, you know, but it was really good for them to see what they were doing. But the compounding effect, like, I think we had one kid that decided to do, like the tennis bound like every day, just practice the hand eye coordination, which honestly made me realize, gosh, I need to do this, because my hand eye is not that great. He did this for 50 days. You become like a Michael Jordan, like, it is the compounding effect that people do not realize. Like, all you got to do is do something consecutively and like, over and over to get good, but knowing there's an end in sight, like, it helped me get back into journaling. Because I was like, okay, I just got to do it for 50 days. Let's see if this really is, like, worth doing the rehearsal scripts. And at the 50 days, I was like, holy crap. Like, it's actually making me feel better, you know, but I wouldn't have given it a shot, because I'm like, I don't want to add another thing into my life. Lesley Logan 23:42  I love that you said that Amy, because I think you and I, one of the things that, like, we became fast friends, is like, we are committers. We say we're if we say we're gonna do something, we're gonna do it. We show up for it. We have a lot of habits that we're really good at. Some, because we're humans, we like, go up. But I it's also like, for me, I'm like, hold on before I say I'm gonna do that. Like, where is that going to end in my day? Because I don't want to be like, I didn't do that today, because I hate that feeling like, that is my worst feeling. So I too, am like, okay, hold on. But it's like, oh, for 50 days. Well, then I can really see if I like it, and I can also see if I got good at it. I could also see, like, you know, it didn't really change anything. So I can let it go.Amy Ledin 24:21  Totally. And writing it in a scripting way, like I find, like, even with my DACs, one area that I've changed with myself is the way you say things to your brain really matters, and it really needs to be identity shifting, and that you're like, I want to, I'm going to, you know, practice the guitar for 30 minutes every day for 50 days, because I want to show myself that committing to something that typically I resist because it's hard and there's a learning curve, like, go on with the details to yourself so that sticks more, because every day, like growth is hard, like I, I hate to break it to people. It's the only place, I mean, like, hardness is where you actually grow. And, I mean, it freaking sucks, like, when this came back and people are like, Oh, you'll grow. I'm like, you know, I don't want to, but I actually can appreciate after the fact that I'm like, there's another layer to me that I'm obviously, like, uncovering through this. I don't want to be told that right in the moment. I don't think anyone should, and I think that, you know, just and I really hate when people apologize and go, oh, but you have cancer. It is all relative to you. It's like trauma to your body. It doesn't matter if it's like you tripped over a pebble or you got shot by a gun, it's how your body reacted to that and how it sees it. So I never want to discount that, because I feel like my clients have just as big, they feel like just as big of problems in those moments, especially to their bodies, as it does to me. So it's really like trying to be aware of that and seeing your habits, like, why are you making this a habit? You know, what's the reason behind this? Like, I used to be one of those that like make especially when I, you know, probably around when I first met you, it was like making the list and doing the charts. I mean, I have like, seven different journals I was using and trying to, you know, color code. And it just was too much pause and go. I mean, why am I doing this? What is the long term gain of this habit right here? And really try to tie it to the identity that you're chasing. Like, is it gonna help your health character and you becoming like your best self? Is it, you know, or is this just like an ego booster that you're gonna post on Instagram, that you're doing cold plunges? What's the real reason behind it? Because I find that we are so, you know, geared to be like, now we're doing colostrum, next we're doing greens. And my habits to do 30 days of greens. Lesley Logan 26:45  Oh my God, Amy, thank you so much. Everyone is like, on this colostrum kick. And I like, obviously, it's not human colostrum, but like, my sensitivity chart came back, and she's like, human colostrum. And I was like, that's so fascinating. Like, I'm not having that. But I'm also like, I'm also like, not gonna like, now I'm like, I'm like, all there's this. Everyone is like, and now we're on to this now. And it's so funny, because we have been on the on Instagram for work, and we see our friends, and it's like, I do have a cold plunge. I love my cold plunge. I am not going for 15 minutes. I get in there, and the first thing in the morning it wakes me up. That is why I do it. So for habits, why it's like I get it because I I have the hardest time remembering what day it is and why am I up in the morning. And I love the morning. So I get in and I read three books. They're each daily message books, because I wanted to read them. Yeah, I read, Gay Hendrick says, Your Big Leap Year. So I read one page of that. I read, I think it's Melody Beattie's, like Journey to the Heart, and I read someone else's and it's like I read, and they're often different messages, but I whatever one that sticks with me then I think about that as I go on my morning walk, and that's how I do it. And I found that was taking me a long time to get out on the morning walk, so I have a cold plunge for that, but I find, to your point of the why, why are you doing this? Because it's the end thing to do. It's what they're saying the next perimenopausal woman should be doing or shouldn't be doing, because I have people like, you shouldn't be cold plunging. I'm like, back off. It makes me feel good.Amy Ledin 28:12  It's a crazy world. I mean, I'm even in the industry, and I even say, wow, I feel for females these days. Because you know what? You get really bamboozled. I mean, people even, like they're doing a real they'll even show, over here, like a medical journal study, that they'll pop up and go and according to this, you should, well, now, if you're smart like me, and you want to be, you know, funny, you go check what that is. Well, it'll be like a research study on like, 85 year olds. And I'm like, man, context, please. But because they're like, a white coat doctor, and they're coming, you know, like, and they have 100,000 followers. And trust me, I am guilty of it too. When I was looking for back help, I'm not a chiropractor, so, like, I'm at the mercy of what I find. It's just like a person coming to the fat loss space, right? So I'm looking at, like, oh, they have a million followers. I mean, you see this in the Pilates space. Like, it's really, really scary. I think we're going to get back going full circle. It'll start to be referral. People are only going to trust who has because now everyone's been through something, and they've all had an experience. So now they're like, tell me who you (inaudible).Lesley Logan 29:18  I actually agree with you, because of all the AI stuff. Like, now I'm like, I actually go to Brad and go is this real? Do you think this is real before, like, I share it because, like, it's so easy, and now there's so much marketing that's using chat bots and AI that I think people are gonna stop using the socials to find even though that's where they it's been going that way to start finding things. I think people are gonna stop because it's gonna be referral. Because, like, you do. You know a real human who's acting like a real human, and it's but I agree. I mean, you're in the fat loss space. I'm in the Pilates space. I have so many people going, well, this is Pilates, and I'm like, no, honey, it's not, but no, I'm not going to go around telling people what is and isn't, because I'm not here to be in a fight with people. I'm here to help people. So I'm not going to help with an imitation.Amy Ledin 29:59  We're the same. I don't have enough time in my day to come hate on what you're doing. You if you think what you're doing is working for you, do it. I support you. And I think there's more than one way. Now, I think Pilates and I think even strength training, there are certain biomechanical like things to it. But I am not going to be a person that's a coach that sits and just like trashes everybody else you know, and does videos about them. I don't think that that helps, you know, personally, I think, and maybe it does, but the energy that I would be working in in that space would never make me be a creator in the way that I want to be, because I think I'd just be, you know. Lesley Logan 30:35  Oh, I just think in the industry you have, yeah, and I think so I feel like I love the honesty and like, it's so I mean, like most of the people listening are women, it is so easy to be bamboozled, but what I love about you and your ideas here, it's like, what do you want? Like, what do you want? And then why do you want it? Because I actually don't think that your why has to be something stellar, but you do have to know why. Because I think, like, do you want to run a marathon because you want a habit of running? Well, then we can, we should probably don't have to run a marathon. We can change the habit. Or are you wanting to run because you have a friend that you want to keep up? Or is it because you want to, like, what's the why? So that you can, one, test the habit, and your Five for 50, or two, maybe it's the wrong habit, like, maybe that's not the thing that you should be doing. Once you figure out the why, there might be an easier or more accessible one to you.Amy Ledin 31:29  And make the habit something that long term is going to give you the biggest bang for your buck. Maybe it's not following a macro plan right away. Maybe it's actually meal prepping, like I, you know, I tell people, do you have to earn the right to lose fat? So like my daughter Kamele, this last year wanted to go on like, her first diet, and she's 22 and so I said, well, before I'm even going to give you a meal plan that has macros on it, you need to prove to me that you're actually going to live the identity of the fit person. Fit people, they prep meals. Fit people have a fridge full of stuff. They don't come home and have like, I mean, that's just not how they live. They fuel themselves, right? So I said, what I want you to do is just set some meal times improve over the next few weeks that you're going to pack meals. I don't even care if it's I don't care what it is that you're packing. It's the habit of the identity of that person. And then I broke down the macros, and it's great, because she doesn't associate, like being a fit person, because she's lost 20 pounds, because she just dialed in and titrated those meals. But it was all about the identity of that fit person and how now she's like, I don't associate it. She goes, it's funny. In fact, everyone at my work, she works at Lulu, and they're like, wow, Kamele, you started eating more, and now you're like, 20 pounds lighter, because she was, like, packing her meals and being on a set, you know, routine with it, and fueling herself, right? And so, plus, it taught her too, this was it's not about your macro breakdown, honey, because she even lost weight, even just packing the meals and, like, living that way. I said, it's because you were intentional. You were prioritizing protein. You were eating on on a, on a, on a routine, like set times your leptin and ghrelin, like that, like, so find those five like in those habits. Maybe it's something that's going to get you the bigger you know, the lower hanging fruit. And honestly, to the brain, meal prep sounds a lot easier than follow my macros 100% for 50 days. That can seem really daunting to the person that's like, struggled, maybe they've had food issues or binge issues and all that. Lesley Logan 33:26  I think this is I will always highlight. I love when, like, all my friends who are coaches of this space, most people are just not eating enough, and they're not eating intentionally. And so, like, I just, like, want to highlight, yes, well, you can often eat more and lose weight, if that's the journey you want to go on, most people start eating enough or not eating the right things. But I love, you brought up, this a couple times, so let's just break it down. Identity, like the identity of the person. So it's like, it's beyond the why. It's like, who you want to be and what do they do, and then doing that now.Amy Ledin 33:59  Yes, it's totally around your Be It, it's like you need to write. I mean, it's like, we make our clients create a health character. What does she look like? What is she wearing? What does her daily routine look like? What's her fridge look like? What's her closet look like? What size is she wearing? Not that those matter, but they do to your brain to start to really see and paint the picture, because they've done too many studies in all these areas, whether it be, I mean, lottery winners, big, huge studies on why do almost 95% of them go bankrupt after we're talking like tens of millions of dollars if they win. Because, you know what, their identity is, still of a poor person. Right? So fat loss, 95% of people that lose it actually regain, it's already hard enough to lose it, so you work so hard to get there. So I don't, it's why that's such a big part of the component for our clients is the last thing I want to do is see you in two years from now, because you just got really good at disciplining yourself for a season. I want this to be who you are, and you got to commit to who that person is, and what does that look like for that person. You know what I mean?Lesley Logan 35:02  Yeah, yeah. So I think that's, it is totally Be It. It's just like, it's like, I want to start a business. Like, well, what does that person do with okay, the business is working. It's rolling. It's all the things you thought it would be like, how do they get up? What do they wear? What is their schedule like? What is that happening? And then, because you start to do the things or thinking like that. It makes it so much easier to step up the next thing, yeah, no, the macros thing like. Amy Ledin 35:25  It's not a threat. And look at it from a brain standpoint, your brain does not see it as a threat. It comes back to like, it's like the Sasha Fierce with Beyonce, like that was a create a character she created. My business character, I named her Amy Blakely. It's after Sarah Blakely. I pretend that I try to show up as her because I'm not as outgoing and as creative and fun and bubbly as Sarah. But when I create that character, my current self doesn't see it as a threat. If I just say I'm just playing this role, you know, I'm coming on the podcast, playing a role that helps me show up as my best self. Like I think a lot of us, like, forget that we have to, you know, we got to do it enough to become it, right?Lesley Logan 36:05  Yes, yes. Well, I think, like, so many people go, oh, this is like, I don't want to fake it till I make it. You're not because, like, I have found, you know, like, you have a bad, let's just say you have a bad night's sleep, but you have a presentation that day. You don't go and go, guys, I'm so tired, and give you a presentation. No, you step up to the person who could be the person who believes that does a presentation nine times out of 10. You actually feel better when the presentation is over, because you you are acting as if you're the person who was doing a great presentation and became that person. That is what's happening. Yes, yeah.Amy Ledin 36:38  And epigenetics shows us like, you know, if you follow Nicole LePera, I've got to give her credit, she's been doing these, what they call Future Self Journaling, where she believes that every day you should script out your day. We do a version of it in our community where I want them to even script out like their their day as a as their health character. And because of what we've seen in the brain is that the more that you wire that future of like it sure, it's not who you are yet, but it's who you want to be. Your brain actually doesn't see the difference, and they're now seeing that the brain wires that way. So if you're in your 40s, 50s or older, I always say if you have struggled with fat loss, and you are already at this age, you have a rewiring issue that you need to address. Because if 95, 91% of your thoughts every day are the same, statistics will show me, you will continue to come back to this old person that you say you are and talk about and believe in. So if you're trying to become like a business owner and become like owning a Pilates studio or whatever it may be, you have to start scripting. And the older you get, and I just say it's (inaudible). Lesley Logan 37:40  So like, do you just like script out like, 5 a.m. 6 a.m. or do you like go, I am so and so doing this, like, what does it look like?Amy Ledin 37:46  It's doing this, it's more of a behavior like you'll have an outline of, like, I, you know, as I wake up today, I effortlesly, you know, keep my small promises in the morning. And you might at first detail them out, because the whole point is to this doesn't change very often, your script stays the same because you're trying to work on an area of your life, like in therapy. It's like, if you're an overreactor, if you're struggling with worthiness, it's it's a daily thing, because you're trying to show that you can change who you are, and now epigenetics is proving it, which is positive. Because here's the thing, you may have been born into someone because now they're showing with epigenetics, like it's connected even in the womb. So that really was hard for me, because when I got pregnant with Leilani, I was in a really, you know, I it was broke up my family, you know, I'd had an affair. So my pregnancy came in a place where it was a very unwanted pregnancy, and I talked, probably very negatively to myself. Well, this next book that Nicola is coming out with talks all about how they're showing and so those children can actually already be born anxious and have like attachment styles based on just the way that you have talked. So at first I was like, man, what a depressing thing to hear. But her whole point is to teach us like we're all broken humans, like we've all come from some sort of crap. And so the power of this book was to teach us that our brain is actually the neuroplasticity and our ability to change. If you're an introvert, you can become an extrovert. If like you are, you know, you say you're one way, you really can actually change. And it's doesn't take long, you know, it's 50. It's kind of similar to habits. It's about that 60 day mark we're we've tested it out with clients. I've done beta testing, and now we make it a part of our program where for 60 days, I have to do this journaling, because I'm so tired of women grunting their way to reaching their goals. I want it to pull you. I want your identity to pull you to become that. And a lot of them are starting to go why is it suddenly feeling easier to meal prep stuff that I like my lazy self, you know, is always fighting. I'm like, because you're scripting about a new person, and your brain is just seeing that is the place I need to go. It's like, it doesn't even know the difference. It just thinks it needs to do it. So less resistance. So same thing with these habits. Try to find, you know, some connection to that identity, the way you write it because you want to have less resistance. You don't want to be like you know, otherwise you will try to use motivation to do it and it never is lasting. Lesley Logan 40:09  Motivation is this interesting thing that everyone thinks they need. Once I'm motivated, and it's like you just, and we'll talk about this in the habit series I've got coming out. Like motivation is one of the worst things you can it will help with something really hard. Like, if you have to do something that's really difficult, motivation is very helpful to, like, it's like the starter in the car. It only works to start the car, right? This is as far as my car metaphor is gonna go, because that's all I know about cars. And then it's like all the others. It's the gasoline. It's you putting the gas, putting your foot on the pedal, all that stuff. So but people think it's gonna, it's gonna show up every day. I cannot wait to be motivated to do anything. I would get nothing done. Nothing would none of the things I built would have have been built because of motivation. Amy Ledin 40:51  Yep, yep. And it's kind of aligned with willpower. I will say a book, I don't know if you've read it, but you would love it, and he'd be a great person to have on because I think he's a small author. It's called Willpower Doesn't Work, and it is a whole book on he's got studies in there, charts that show essentially that it is all about your environment. Like that is the key that most people it's it's everything, whether it be friendships, it be your actual physical environment, that that is way better than because willpower is finite, and like, you can't count on that. It's why, in the morning the cupcake is less tempting than, say, like, at night. So like, instead of, like, having the willpower of having that cupcake here all day, why is it at night? I want it. You need to see that your environment is more powerful. Hey, decision fatigue at the end of the night, I don't need to have things out that I'm already weak to or, anyways, you would just love it, because it's just made me stop shaming myself for stuff that I'm like, seriously, I need to change the environment. You know, I've even said to clients, the best time to really change a big habit, like a bad habit, like, I had a client, she's like, every night we sit on the couch, we eat a snack. I said, Hey, when's your next time you're out of town? Because having a break from your environment and then coming back into it is the best time to shift into a new habit. Now for the next several days, don't even sit on the couch like let your brain completely because it is all about connection and loops, you know, for most of us at this age.Lesley Logan 42:16  It's true. It's true. This year that I'm doing we talk about how to unravel a habit you don't like, and it's one of the things, and I'll dive deeper in the episode, but it's like, how what is the prompt that starts the sitting down on the couch? There is something that starts that, and if you don't know what that something is, you can get rid of your couch, and you're still gonna find something to sit on, because there's a prompt there. Amy Ledin 42:39  It's true. And yes, because it's it started earlier. I have a client right now that we've realized her overwhelm with work makes her go to any like, highly palette. It doesn't have to be chocolate chips. At first, she's like, it's the chocolate chips. I'm like, girl, no, tomorrow will be something different, but it's not about the pantry. I'm like, it starts earlier. And that you start to see failure in your day and overwhelm, and that loop is when I'm failing okay, this is kind of like my coping mechanism, you know, so much, and so it's interesting. I'm like, man, I feel like we're therapy one on one. But even in, you know, someone that wants to have a business, they're all parallel, all of it, because it's a personal development journey.Lesley Logan 43:18  Everything, whatever it is, like, that's why I like that identity and like you can see yourself in like different things. Anything that you want to do, and how it's like it, it we, it works the same. You, it's you have to prepare the environment. You have to know why you want to do it, and then you have to tell you have to believe that you can. And I think like because like you, you cannot shame yourself into something you want. It will not work. And you talk about, like, the clients, like, grit themselves to getting there, and then they're just be back in two years, because nothing changed, and they didn't become who they wanted to be on that journey. Oh my gosh. Okay. I mean, I, obviously, I could talk to you forever about this, because, like, this is just something I like to nerd about. But I just love that we think the same way on this, because it's really, it's really easy, I think, for people to, like, want to start 17 new things at the same time, or like, they, you know, and like, it's an I have to do it for an hour, and it's like, hold on, like, let's, you know, we got to adjust the timeline of what it is. And I really think, you know, making sure you know why you want to do it. The script thing is a really cool thing to add to it. I have to say, like, I kind of like the idea of like writing yourself a script for the day and how it's gonna go, that's a be it till you see it, and also, like a manifestation and a drawing in, I think that's really beautiful, Amy. Well, we're gonna take a quick break, and we're gonna find out where people can find you, follow you, work with you, and then we're gonna do your Be It Action Items. Amy Ledin 44:36  Okay. Lesley Logan 44:37  All right, Amy, where do you hang out? Where can they stalk you in the best way? Amy Ledin 44:42  I am, I'm on Instagram, you know, under amy_ledin if you are, like, still a Facebook person, though, I will say that is, like, where our business really lands. So it's under Lean Bodies Consulting. I post daily there, and then, you know, by the time this episode's out, my podcast, you know, which is called F* It! so you can find me there.Lesley Logan 45:00  I love your podcast. It's so great. I also want to say, like, I admire that you take pauses when you need to with it, because I think you are so good at podcasting. You're so wonderful at it. All of your episodes I've ever listened to are so good. And you're also allowed to be a human and take time for yourself. You have given us so much already, but you know how the show goes, we need Be It Action Items, bold, executable, intrinsic or target steps people can take to be it till they see it. I mean, the whole episode kind of was one, but anything you want to add or remind us.Amy Ledin 45:29  Well, you know what? I actually tied it to your acronym, to the DACs, and it's like, bold, one agreement that matters, like, pick one, like, maybe you need to start just with one. Executable is your E, you know, like, write it in real words, not vague. So be specific on what you're really shooting for. The intrinsic is link it to how you want to feel, not just like, how much you want to weigh, how much money. Like, how do you really want to feel there? What's the money? What's the scale going to give you? And then targeted, today, not someday. Like, be very specific.Lesley Logan 46:01  Oh, my God, that's brilliant. You're so good. I love it so much, you guys. I can't even wait to hear how this episode goes. It's just so fun to have you back and see what you're up to, and also just be reminded of, like, how powerful we all really are. Our minds are really powerful. And I love the science behind that. That book sounds amazing. I can't wait to read it. I'll have to have it on. You know what, before I go. And I'm gonna say this, because, in case anyone knows this person, I'm trying to get hold of them, there's a book called Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It. And I'm gonna, I'm gonna do a little series on, like a self like, a week long series on self-love. Because everybody who talks about, I burnt out, I'm this. And the book the author, he says, You'll never burn out if you actually love yourself. Because if you truly loved yourself, you wouldn't say yes, when you mean no, you would actually, like take time for yourself. And that's so like, I think those two books sound like a nice little bookend, but also, like everything we're talking about here today, it's, it's all part of it, you know, it's all like holistic it's, we're not little compartments. So thank you for being you, Amy. You guys, make sure you check out her Instagram, her podcast, her Facebook. Tell her what your favorite takeaways are. You can tell me, I love it, but also tell her these words of affirmation are our love language also lets us know what your favorite parts are. Share this with a friend who needs to hear it. You know, it's actually kind of difficult to go through all these like 5 for 50 alone. Sometimes it's kind of nice to have some friends to do it with, or your kiddos to do it with.

ANALIZĂ Patriotism sub semnul AUR. Adrian Papahagi: „Cum poți să justifici iubirea de țară lăudând principalii dușmani ai României?” (Adevărul) - Judecătorii admit că în pandemie au fost pacienți care au murit după ce au luat COVID din spitale. Ce daune pot primi rudele celor decedați (Libertatea)  - Ultima ediție Fidelis din 2025: Dobânzile și miliardele cu care românii au împrumutat statul în acest an (CursDeGuvernare) Dragoş Damian, Terapia: Nicuşor Dan, discurs de mare CEO, de mare corporaţie, de 1 Decembrie 2025. Aveam nevoie de asta (Ziarul Financiar) Nu este un comentariu de tip odă conducătorului suprem însă, trebuie să recunoaştem, este prima dată când un Preşedinte al României ne vorbeşte, cu candoare, dacă putem spune aşa, despre adevăratele probleme din societate, citim în ZF. ”Trăim mai prost decât anul trecut. Dar trăim mult mai bine decât acum 20 de ani. Şi trăim mai bine decât mulţi din oamenii din ţări vecine nouă”. De fapt trăim mai bine chiar decât anul trecut, au crescut salarii şi pensii. “România este o ţară coruptă (…) .Totuşi, suntem mai puţin corupţi decât acum 20 de ani”. Nu trebuie să fim supăraţi pe cei care primesc şpagă ci pe noi, cei care o dăm. Daca mediul de afaceri va înceta să dea şpagă atunci mâine România va fi mai puţin coruptă decât este astăzi. “Avem multe zone de excelenţă în educaţie, dar, în ansamblu, sistemul de învăţământ este slab spre foarte slab. Şi asta o să ne provoace mari probleme în viitor. Sistemul sanitar este departe, foarte departe de unde ar fi putut să fie cu toţi banii pe care noi toţi i-am dus încolo. Dar vedem totuşi primele corpuri noi de spital care sunt construite prin finanţare din PNRR” Discurs de mare CEO al unei mari corporaţii. Dacă recunoşti care sunt problemele reale din organizaţie vei ştii care sunt măsurile de remediere de care organizaţia are nevoie. Şi o vei salva, conchide Dragoș Damian, directorul general al Terapia Cluj. ANALIZĂ Patriotism sub semnul AUR. Adrian Papahagi: „Cum poți să justifici iubirea de țară lăudând principalii dușmani ai României?” (Adevărul) George Simion a fost prezent luni, la Alba Iulia, cu ocazia Zilei Naționale. Îmbrăcat într-un cojoc tradițional, liderul AUR a participat în orașul Marii Uniri la un miting, alături de câteva sute de membri și simpatizanți ai partidului, care au fluturat steaguri tricolore și au scandat pentru „suveranitate” națională. Este o imagine pe care AUR o pune în scenă cu regularitate, în încercarea de a capitaliza politic curentul patriotic ignorat de partidele politice mainstream. Cu alte cuvinte, „cine nu-i cu noi este împotriva României”, un refren des utilizat în ultimii ani. Faptul că George Simion și ceilalți lideri AUR își autoproclamă regulat patriotismul nu îi face însă cu nimic mai iubitori de țară, remarcă profesorul Adrian Papahagi, care subliniază, într-o analiză pentru „Adevărul”, că patriotismul adevărat se măsoară prin faptele unui om. Radu Carp: Observ un fenomen îngrijorător, normalizarea în societate a discursului de tip AUR - Interviu video (SpotMedia) România se confruntă cu o serie de provocări, de la consolidarea extremei drepte până la o criză internă de reprezentare, dar și una legată de capacitatea de guvernare.  Profesorul Radu Carp a analizat modul în care România a gestionat anul 2025 și de ce formațiunile populiste precum AUR și-au atins maximul de potențial, situat undeva la 40%.  Această ascensiune a extremelor politice face parte dintr-un fenomen european, alimentat de o uriașă criză a reprezentării, generată de rețelele sociale. Cunoscutul analist politic consideră că țara noastră nu are o alternativă la extremism în afara actualei coaliții de guvernare. Mai multe în interviul video de pe pagina SpotMedia. Judecătorii admit că în pandemie au fost pacienți care au murit după ce au luat COVID din spitale. Ce daune pot primi rudele celor decedați (Libertatea)  În pandemie, 24.527 de pacienți s-au infectat cu COVID în spitalele din România, potrivit datelor oficiale. Erau oameni internați pentru alte probleme medicale, numite „comorbidități” de cei din Grupul de Comunicare Strategică. Erau părinții sau copiii cuiva, veniți la spital ca să se vindece. Mulți dintre ei au plecat de aici în saci de nailon. După ani buni, instanțele recunosc că ceea ce s-a întâmplat atunci în spitale a încălcat legea. În câteva cazuri, rudele celor decedați au dat în judecată spitalele şi au cerut daune. Pe portalul hotărârilor judecătoreşti din România există patru dosare de acest fel. Unul singur a ajuns, între timp, la finalul procesului. Libertatea vă dezvăluie toate aceste patru poveşti cutremurătoare, dar şi deciziile judecătorilor, în fiecare dintre ele.    Ultima ediție Fidelis din 2025: Dobânzile și miliardele cu care românii au împrumutat statul în acest an (CursDeGuvernare) Ministerul Finanțelor va derula, în perioada 5-12 decembrie, ultima ediție Fidelis a acestui an, potrivit unui anunț al ministerului.  Ediția din decembrie vine cu dobânzi de până la 7,55% la emisiunile în lei și de până la 6,20% la cele în euro. Persoanele fizice rezidente și nerezidente cu vârsta peste 18 ani pot subscrie în titlurile de stat FIDELIS denominate în lei și în euro prin intermediul băncilor partenere. Per total,cumulat, în cele 10 ediții lunare din acest an ale Fidelis, Guvernul a împrumutat de la populație 19,6 miliarde de lei, conform calculelor CursDeGuvernare.ro, ceva mai mult peste ce lua în 2024, când o ediție Fidelis avea loc la 2 luni și Finanțele atrăgeau pe emisiune între 3 și 3,5 miliarde de lei de la populație, pentru finanțarea deficitului bugetar. De notat că titlurile de stat beneficiază de un regim fiscal special, fiind neimpozabile.

Consiliul Fiscal arată într-o notă publicată recent necesitatea reducerii deficitului bugetar și soluțiile limitate aflate la îndemâna guvernului. De asemenea, instituția reamintește că procesul de ajustare a deficitului va continua și în următorii ani. La sfârșitul săptămânii trecute, Consiliul Fiscal a publicat opinia referitoare la a doua rectificare bugetară a anului. Analiza legată de rectificare este concisă, în sensul că instituția consideră că sunt realizabile datele și țintele bugetare asumate de guvern, respectiv un deficit bugetar de 8,4% din PIB și pe cash și pe ESA. Demne de atenție sunt, însă, observațiile legate de contextul economic românesc. Astfel, Consiliul Fiscal pleacă de la o afirmație tranșantă și anume aceea că în ultimii șase ani economia locală s-a dezvoltat, dar nesustenabil. Iar demonstrația este făcută prin deficitele bugetare mari înregistrate, dar și prin creșterea îngrijorătoare a datoriei publice, de la 35% din PIB, în anul 2019, la 59% din PIB, în iulie 2025. Analiza Consiliului Fiscal răspunde la câteva întrebări. Prima: se putea și fără corecția bugetară pe care am traversat-o anul acesta? Răspunsul este nu și sunt aduse câteva argumente. Dacă nu ar fi fost luate măsuri de reducere a deficitului bugetar s-ar fi ajuns anul acesta la 9% din PIB. Consiliul Fiscal arată că România nu poate rămâne la un nivel al deficitului de 9% din PIB, pentru că s-ar ajunge la o criză a datoriei publice. Totodată, reducerea deficitului bugetar este considerată ca fiind un moment important pentru recâștigarea încrederii în finanțele publice românești. O a doua întrebare la care răspunde analiza Consiliului Fiscal este: în ce măsură scăderea deficitului bugetar se putea face și altfel? Răspunsul de principiu este că o corecție bugetară de amploare nu se poate face fără a fi afectate negativ veniturile cetățenilor și încasările firmelor. De asemenea, măsurile guvernului de ajustare bugetară sunt obligate să păstreze o prociclicitate care a început după pandemie. Cu alte cuvinte, chiar dacă toate manualele de economie nu recomandă în această situație măsuri prociclice, realitatea este că guvernul nu poate face altceva, pentru că este constrâns de astfel de decizii chiar de starea bugetului. În fine, mai există o controversă legată de pachetele de măsuri și anume: pe ce să se bazeze reducerea deficitului, pe scăderi de cheltuieli bugetare sau pe creșteri de taxe și impozite? Consiliul Fiscal merge în continuare pe ideea că ajustarea deficitului bugetar nu se poate face exclusiv pe partea de cheltuieli. De altfel, este chiar opinia insistent susținută de președintele Consiliului Fiscal, Daniel Dăianu. O opinie demnă de o cauză mai bună în condițiile în care Executivul a promis la preluarea mandatului o abordare echilibrată a reducerii deficitului între creșteri de taxe, reduceri de cheltuieli și prioritizarea investițiilor. Deocamdată, este vizibil că în materie de reducere a cheltuielilor realizările concrete sunt înghețarea salariilor bugetare și a pensiilor, care va fi păstrată și anul viitor, și scăderea unor sporuri realizată în vara acestui an. În schimb, creșterea de taxe și impozite s-a realizat anul acesta și va mai exista o tranșă începând cu anul viitor. Investițiile publice, din fonduri naționale și europene, rămân anul acesta la un nivel ridicat și anume 7,8% din PIB. Guvernul a reușit să găsească soluțiile pentru a păstra chiar și la rectificare o alocare substanțială pentru investiții, în ideea că de multe ori, la a doua rectificare bugetară, se luau decizii de tăiere a sumelor de investiții pentru a se reuși încadrarea într-un deficit redus. Este posibil ca Executivul să se fi gândit că 2026 este ultimul an al Planului Național de Redresare și Reziliență (PNRR), ceea ce înseamnă că unele obiective de investiții începute vor trebui finalizate pentru ca România să nu fie penalizată financiar. În fine, Consiliul Fiscal precizează că măsurile de sprijin pentru economie, așa-numitul program de relansare, se pot baza doar pe fonduri europene și credite fiscale, nu pe bani de la buget. În pofida ideilor de susținere a economiei, foarte diverse și generoase, reducerea deficitului bugetar va continua și anul viitor.

Vladimir Putin răspunde evaziv propunerilor americane de încetare a războiului din Ucraina. Tentația lui Donald Trump de a se îndepărta de conflict aruncă o umbră a infamului acord de la München. Iar pe acest fond, Europa se pregătește să riposteze în fața Rusiei. După cum relatează The Moscow Times, ”președintele Vladimir Putin s-a declarat joi deschis la unele elemente ale unui plan al SUA de a pune capăt războiului. Dar el a emis un avertisment sfidător, cum că forțele ruse își vor continua avansul în regiunea Donbas dacă Kievul refuză să accepte condițiile sale de încetare a focului. În timpul unei conferințe de presă din Kârgâzstan, Putin a susținut că trupele rusești avansează pe „toate fronturile” și că pierderile ucrainene depășesc acum capacitatea Kievului de a-și reface trupele. Putin și-a reiterat, de asemenea, opinia de lungă durată că președintele ucrainean Volodimir Zelenski nu mai este un lider legitim. Citeste siUmbra Rusiei asupra păcii din Ucraina și poziția ambiguă a Americii Rămâne neclar dacă Putin va susține schimbările din planul de pace, despre care unele surse spun că sunt „semnificativ mai bune” pentru Ucraina decât cadrul inițial. De asemenea – remarcă The Moscow Times - Putin a negat că oficialii ruși au jucat un rol activ în elaborarea documentului original al SUA după summitul din Alaska, din august”. Comentând declarațiile din Kârgâstan, NBC News vorbește despre insistența liderului rus că Rusia are avantajul pe front, menționând că luptele se vor opri atunci când trupele ucrainene se vor retrage din teritoriile pe care le dețin. „Dacă nu se retrag, vom realiza acest lucru prin forță”, a spus el. Însă Putin a avertizat că propunerea va trebui rescrisă în „limbaj diplomatic” și că unele puncte, cum ar fi cel care stipulează că Rusia nu va ataca Europa, i s-au părut „amuzante”. Pentru Le Monde, „planul de pace” prezentat de Washington pentru a pune capăt conflictului din Ucraina ”a avut cel puțin un merit: a reamintit tuturor de ostilitatea lui Donald Trump față de Kiev”. În ceea ce privește războiul din Ucraina, ”tentația constantă a lui Donald Trump de a abandona conflictul aruncă asupra Casei Albe o umbră asemănătoare cu cea de la München” – o aluzie la infamul acord din 1938 prin care Franța și Marea Britanie au acceptat cedări teritoriale în beneficiul lui Hitler, pe seama Cehoslovaciei. De partea sa, Politico titrează. ”Europa își imaginează inimaginabilul: Represalii împotriva Rusiei”. Aceasta, în timp ce ”drone și agenți ai Rusiei declanșează atacuri în țările NATO”. Potrivit Politico, ”ideile variază, de la operațiuni cibernetice ofensive comune împotriva Rusiei și atribuirea mai rapidă și mai coordonată a atacurilor hibride, prin îndreptarea rapidă a degetului spre Moscova, până la exerciții militare surpriză conduse de NATO, după cum au declarat doi înalți oficiali guvernamentali europeni și trei diplomați ai UE. În practică, țările ar putea folosi metode cibernetice pentru a viza sisteme critice pentru efortul de război al Rusiei, Europa trebuie, de asemenea, să găsească o modalitate de a răspunde campaniilor de dezinformare la scară largă ale Rusiei prin propriile eforturi în interiorul țării”, mai scrie Politico.

Episodul de astăzi deschide o conversație necesară despre infertilitate, analize de fertilitate, pregătire și întregul parcurs medical în care mulți oameni se simt singuri. Informațiile apar adesea fragmentat, iar confuzia se instalează rapid, mai ales când emoția, așteptarea și lipsa de context vin toate în același timp.Andrada Câmpean este unul dintre oamenii care unesc aceste piese. O știu de când eram copii, iar felul în care a transformat un drum personal intens într-un sprijin clar și blând pentru sute de cupluri mi-a fost mereu un semn că ceea ce face are rădăcini adânci și autentice. Vorbește limpede, explică pe înțelesul tuturor și aduce un tip de structură pe care prea puțini o primesc atunci când încep să caute răspunsuri legate de fertilitate.În acest episod am așezat împreună întrebările pe care le aud cel mai des: unde începi, ce analize au sens, cum navighezi diferențele dintre recomandări, cum înțelegi un rezultat, ce înseamnă o pregătire reală pentru procedurile de reproducere asistată și cum arată cu adevărat sprijinul potrivit într-un astfel de proces. Mi-a fost clar, pe măsură ce vorbeam, că discuția noastră poate deveni ancoră pentru cei care au nevoie de claritate și continuitate.Dacă ești în căutarea unor explicații așezate, dacă ai început investigațiile sau dacă vrei să înțelegi mai bine prin ce trec oamenii apropiați ție, episodul acesta este un punct bun de la care să pornești.Intro (00:00)Cine este Andrada Câmpean şi cum a ajuns Ghid în infertilitate (03:49)Contextul ei medical şi prima sarcină (09:42)Ce ar fi vrut să facă diferit specialiștii la care a apelat în proces (14:13)Infertilitatea este subiect tabu, o ruşine (17:18)Ce analize trebuie să faci și în ce ordine?

Dacă ți se întâmplă să te ferești de bucurie de teamă că îți va fi luată și vei rămâne doar cu dezamăgire, dacă te aștepți ca după orice bucurie să urmeze ceva rău sau dacă ai tendința să îți micșorezi visurile ca să te protejezi, pauza de bine de azi e pentru tine.În ultimul episod din luna noiembrie vreau să îți povestescdespre două idei auzite recent și cu care am rezonat profund, idei care au legătură directă cu modul în care ne stabilim intențiile / obiectivele pentru noul an, cu cât de mult ne permitem să visăm și cu cât de des ne sabotăm fără să ne dăm seama.Nu pot decât să sper că îți iese episodul ăsta în cale când ai mai mare nevoie de el și că întrebările de coaching pe care ți le-am lăsat să îți aducă și conștientizări și claritate.Dacă te sperie idea de a-ți stabili obiective și intenții fără armură, nu-i nimic… În experiența New Year, REAL You eu și colegele de grupă îți împrumutăm curaj și te ajutăm să dai jos părți din armură.Nu vorbim de un workshop, ci de un ritual la trecerea dintre ani. ⭐️ Începem cu invitații la introspecție și cu retrospectiva anului.⭐️ Petrecem timp împreună online și te ghidez printr-un proces care să îți aducă claritate pentru noul an.⭐️ Facem un vision board party la finalul întâlnirii și meșterim la vision boards împreună.⭐️ Peste 6 luni avem o întâlnire cadou din partea mea, în care facem un check-in de accountability și progres.Cu prima grupă mă văd deja pe 6 decembrie și mai aidoar câteva zile să ni te alături dacă optezi pentru grupa asta:  https://www.cristinaotel.ro/new-year-real-you/M-aș bucura să-mi dai de veste că ai ascultat episodul, dacă ți-a plăcut, dacă te-a ajutat.

Joe is out this week, but we've got some interesting chapters. Nothing with the Shadesmar crew, which has Dac and Jaymee a little disappointed, but a lot of Dalinar, which I love. So I guess at least one of us wins. Though the Navani perspective is also a very popular one. 

In this episode of CISO Tradecraft, host G Mark Hardy is joined by Yuriy Tsibere from ThreatLocker to discuss an essential topic for cybersecurity leaders: Defense Against Configurations (DAC). With a focus on the significant risks posed by misconfigurations, Yuriy shares insights on how ThreatLocker's new DAC tool helps organizations identify and rectify vulnerabilities in OS configurations, ensuring a higher degree of security. They explore the critical role of maintaining proper endpoint configurations, Zero Trust principles, and how DAC seamlessly integrates into ThreatLocker's platform to provide real-time monitoring and reporting. Yuriy also touches on how DAC supports various security frameworks and compliance standards, making it a valuable asset for any organization aiming to enhance its cybersecurity posture. Big Thanks to Threatlocker for supporting this episode.

We walk through a clear three-phase plan that keeps you focused and effective: start with a real gap assessment anchored in leadership's risk tolerance, convert findings into decisions to mitigate, accept, or transfer risk, and then implement with a balanced mix of people, process, and tools. Along the way, we share what to look for when hiring a virtual CISO and how to turn that engagement into actionable momentum instead of another shelfware report.From there, we tighten the perimeter by defining bounds that keep systems within safe lanes: role-based access control, data classification, DLP, segmentation, encryption, and change management that shrinks blast radius. We get tactical with process isolation, sandboxing, capability-based security, and application whitelisting, plus a grounded comparison of MAC vs DAC and when a hybrid model makes sense. Defense in depth ties it together with physical safeguards, network protections, EDR and patching, application security practices, and data security. We keep the human layer practical with targeted awareness training and a tested incident response plan.Resilience is the throughline. We advocate for secure defaults and least privilege by design, logging that's actually reviewed, and updates that apply on a measured cadence. When things break, fail safely: graceful degradation, clean error handling, separation of concerns, redundancy, and real-world drills that expose weak spots early. Governance keeps the program honest with separation of duties, dual control, job rotation, and change boards that prevent unilateral risk. Finally, we demystify zero trust: start small, micro-segment your crown jewels, verify continuously, and respect cloud nuances without overcomplicating your stack.If this helps you clarify your next move, follow the show, share it with a teammate, and leave a quick review so others can find it.

Dacă vrem să fim plante care cresc în grădina Domnului, trebuie să avem o sursă constantă de viață și înflăcărare spirituală. Creșterea se va vedea în credința și cunoașterea Domnului nostru Isus Hristos. Nu există nicio casă la mijlocul drumului unde să ne putem despovăra de responsabilitate și să ne odihnim pe cale.Citește acest devoțional și multe alte meditații biblice pe https://devotionale.ro#devotionale #devotionaleaudio

Dacă ne mulțumim cu doar câteva binecuvântări, ne descalificăm să primim Duhul în plinătatea Lui fără margini. Prea ușor ne mulțumim cu o mică fărâmă, deși este privilegiul nostru să așteptăm o mișcare profundă a Duhului lui Dumnezeu. Așteptând puțin, primim puțin.Citește acest devoțional și multe alte meditații biblice pe https://devotionale.ro#devotionale #devotionaleaudio

– De ce unele stele sunt aşa de mari şi altele aşa de mici? întreabă Vulpea. – Poate că stelele cresc, îi răspunde Căţelul. Dacă te uiţi la o stea şi te gândeşti la ceva frumos, steaua creşte. O poveste emoţionantă despre cum să faci şi să primeşti complimente, dar şi despre puterea magică a gândurilor frumoase.

România are un război la ușă, dar cochetează cu ideea de a-și decima armata. General: „E o tâmpenie, ne face vulnerabili în fața Rusiei” (Adevărul) - Opinie: Puterea din umbră a magistraților (DW) - AUR pentru Realitatea: George Simion a dat un milion de euro pentru o zi de promovare și aproape jumătate pentru o emisiune cu Anca Alexandrescu, dar fără el (Snoop) Ce ascunde mesajul schizofrenic al lui Sorin Grindeanu? Incapacitatea PSD (SpotMedia) Se anunță reducerea cu 10% a cheltuielilor de personal în fiecare minister, care poate fi făcută oricum, nu numai prin reducerea salariilor, ci și prin restructurări, concedieri, diminuarea sporurilor și a bonusurilor, iar Sorin Grindeanu vine în fața camerelor TV și face un întreg spectacol că nu e de acord cu tăierea salariilor. PSD e singurul partid din coaliție care are un comportament schizofrenic, e de acord cu măsurile de reducere a deficitului în ședințele coaliției, în timp ce în fața publicului protestează violent la adresa lor. Pentru a afla de ce se întâmplă acest lucru SpotMedia a stat de vorbă cu politologul Costin Ciobanu, cercetător științific la Universitatea Aarhus, Danemarca, iar el a spus: “România trece printr-o perioadă economică dificilă, fiind pentru prima dată în istorie când PSD e la guvernare și trebuie să ia măsuri nepopulare”. “PSD nu s-a aflat până acum în situația de a lua decizii care duc la austeritate. În același timp, știm că măsurile de austeritate, în general, afectează votanții cu posibilități materiale reduse”, a declarat politologul pentru Spotmedia.ro.  “Măsurile de austeritate sunt un pericol pentru electoratul social-democrat, mai ales că PSD are acum această amenințare și din partea AUR. Partidul se află, într-adevăr, într-o poziție incomodă. Pe de-o parte, este la guvernare și a girat într-o formă sau alta deciziile luate până acum, pe de altă parte, are această amenințare electorală că reformele îi afectează susținerea publică. Așa că adoptă o poziționare ambiguă, care, în realitate, e una strategică”, a explicat expertul Costin Ciobanu. România are un război la ușă, dar cochetează cu ideea de a-și decima armata. General: „E o tâmpenie, ne face vulnerabili în fața Rusiei” (Adevărul) Intenția guvernului de reducere a bugetelor pentru cheltuielile de personal, după ce inițial în spațiul public s-a vorbit și despre reduceri salariale și chiar disponibilizări, este criticată de experți. În ziarul Adevărul, generalul (r) Dan Grecu, șeful generalilor în rezervă, și chestorul Lucian Guran, fost șef al Poliției Capitalei, avertizează că dacă vor fi luate aceste măsuri, România va fi mai puțin sigură și în fața unui invadator, dar și în fața infractorilor de toate felurile. Opinie: Puterea din umbră a magistraților (DW) România e în mare criză de timp, fiindcă întregul proces de intrare în vigoare a Legii pensiilor magistraților trebuie finalizat până pe 28 noiembrie, termenul maximalist oferit de Comisia Europeană pentru a elibera tranșa de peste 230 de milioane de euro României (din PNRR-Programul Național deRedresare și Reziliență). Ministrul Proiectelor Europene, Dragoș Pîslaru a declarat ieri că termenul de 28 noiembrie nu poate fi prelungit, dar că totul ar putea fi gata la vreme dacă CSM dă avizul imediat, fără să mai tragă de timp. Vicepreședintele CSM a precizat, însă, că e nevoie de timp pentru a analiza proiectul, chiar dacă nu are modificări majore. Acum o lună, 5 dintre cei 9 judecători CCR au votat pentru respingerea proiectului care fusese reclamat de Înalta Curte. 3 dintre cei 5 care au susținut interesele magistraților provin din această castă și au fost numiți de PSD (Cristian Deliorga, fost procuror apoi judecător la Constanța, Gheorghe Stan, fost procuror, Bogdan Licu, fost prim-adjunct al procurorului general). Lor li s-au alăturat Mihai Busuioc, propus de PSD, fost șef al Curții de Conturi și Mihaela Ciochină, fostă consilieră prezidențială sub Klaus Iohannis. Dacă Înalta Curte reclamă din nou legea la CCR e posibil ca social-democrații să-l îndemne pe ultimul lor numit, Mihai Busuioc să voteze alături de judecătorii care vor să treacă proiectul guvernului Bolojan. Unele surse avizate susțin că și Mihaela Ciochină ar trece de partea bună a votului, dar deocamdată totul e relativ.  Pentru diseară se anunță proteste împotriva magistraților în toată țara sub sloganul „Vrem drepturi egale, fără pensii speciale!”.  Se vor mai bate magistrații acum pentru bani mai mulți sau au înțeles că nu e un moment bun pentru astfel de extravaganțe, când peste tot se fac concedieri, iar inflația a crescut cu 10% și majoritatea oamenilor au mai puțini bani?  Vor juca, măcar pentru o perioadă, reținerea, în speranța că legile sunt vremelnice și pot fi schimbate? Sau vor insista până când protestele vor crește atât de mult încât magistrații cu bun simț se vor desolidariza de cei lacomi? Deocamdată, la Înalta Curte tendința e să meargă până în pânzele albe, comentează jurnalista Sabina Fati, corespondent DW la București.  AUR pentru Realitatea: George Simion a dat un milion de euro pentru o zi de promovare și aproape jumătate pentru o emisiune cu Anca Alexandrescu, dar fără el (Snoop) Facturile de promovare ale AUR pe Realitatea TV au fost considerate neconforme cu legea de către Autoritatea Electorală Permanentă, care a decis să nu ramburseze partidului peste 17 milioane de lei. O sesizare pe această temă a fost trimisă de AEP la Parchet, potrivit informațiilor obținute de Snoop.ro. Din cele 69 de milioane de lei cheltuite de George Simion în campania electorală prezidențială din primăvara lui 2025, 23,4 milioane de lei au ajuns la postul de televiziune Realitatea Plus. Din acestea din urmă, AEP a decis să recunoască doar 6 milioane de lei drept cheltuieli legale. AUR a pierdut, în două campanii, aproape 10 milioane de euro.

Într-o campanie de măsurare a calității aerului coordonată de organizaţiile 2 Celsius, Deutsche Umwelthilfe şi Ecopolis în centrul Capitalei s-au înregistrat concentraţii de particule ultrafine de până la 10-20 de ori mai mari decât limitele recomandate de Organizația Mondială a Sănătății. Acestea nu sunt însă reglementate sau monitorizate sistematic în România. Până vom ajunge acolo, urmăriți în timp real calitatea aerului, prin platforme precum Aerlive sau uRADMonitor și evitați expunerea prelungită în zone intens traficabile.  Dacă tranzitarea este inevitabilă în momente de poluare mare, puteți folosi măşti și nu uitați că puteți cere autorităţilor locale informaţii clare despre senzorii instalaţi şi valorile reale.

"Haina nu-l face pe om.” este o propoziție pe care am auzit-o ani întregi în copilărie. Venea cu ideea că esența unui om stă în felul în care se poartă, nu în hainele pe care le alege. În ultimii ani, însă, am observat cum lucrurile s-au dus într-o extremă nouă, în care această vorbă a ajuns să justifice ignorarea completă a modului în care ne prezentăm în lume. Iar imaginea, fie că recunoaștem sau nu, spune ceva despre noi. Spune în ce etapă suntem, ce simțim și ce vrem să transmitem despre identitatea noastră.Conversația cu Alexandra Ungurean, stilist personal și fondatoarea Spin of Seasons, a adus multă claritate în această direcţie, mai ales prin felul ei echilibrat de a vorbi despre stil personal și despre felul în care hainele nu sunt mască, ci instrument. Vorbește despre oameni care ajung la ea convinși că au o problemă cu garderoba, dar descoperă în proces că trec printr-o schimbare interioară reală. Vorbește despre stil ca formă de identitate, despre garderoba care rămâne blocată într-o versiune veche a omului și despre alegerile vestimentare care se schimbă atunci când se schimbă viața.Fie vedem oameni care simt că nu se mai regăsesc în hainele lor, persoane care cumpără impulsiv pentru că nu știu ce li se potrivește, fie oameni care resping complet ideea de stil personal pentru că li se pare superficială. Dar, de fapt, între aceste extreme există multă nuanță și foarte multă psihologie. Stilul personal se construiește din lucruri mici: obiceiuri, ritm, atenție la sine, transformări emoționale.În episod vorbim despre cum îți găsești stilul personal atunci când simți că te-ai schimbat, despre cum se face analiza garderobei, despre ce înseamnă personal styling și despre felul în care hainele pot susține identitatea unei persoane. Alexandra explică limpede cum recunoști hainele care ți se potrivesc, cum verifici dacă o schimbare de stil vine din interior sau din presiunea social media, și care sunt cele mai frecvente greșeli în procesul de reinventare a garderobei. Este un episod care oferă repere clare pentru oricine își dorește să aibă un stil autentic și o relație mai sănătoasă cu propria imagine.Dacă vrei să înțelegi mai bine ce înseamnă stil personal sau cum poți lucra cu un stilist personal pentru a-ți clarifica identitatea vizuală, episodul acesta o să-ți fie de ajutor.Intro (00:00)Haina îl face pe om?

What happens when the world's most ambitious climate state runs head-on into a hostile federal government? Can California still lead the clean-energy transition while battling rising costs, wildfires and the Trump government's sweeping tariffs? And what does a “pragmatic reset” on climate policy look like when the stakes have never been higher?This week on Cleaning Up Bryony Worthington sits down with Liane Randolph, former Chair of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and longtime public servant, shaping California's climate, energy, and air-quality strategy. Across roles spanning the Public Utilities Commission and state natural resources agencies, Randolph has been at the center of some of the most consequential policy decisions in the United States — from the rise of rooftop solar and utility-scale storage to the creation of zero-emission vehicle mandates and the state's pioneering cap-and-invest system.Together, they unpack how California built the modern EV market, the origins of the famous “duck curve,” and why central planning turned out to be critical for keeping the lights on in a decarbonizing grid. Randolph also details the extraordinary federal pushback now facing the state: repealed Clean Air Act waivers, legal battles over truck and car standards, and tariff-driven supply-chain shocks that threaten progress.The episode explores:The past and future of California's zero-emission vehicle strategy — from catalytic converters to the birth of TeslaWhy batteries exploded onto the grid, and how wildfire adaptation is reshaping costsThe mechanics and impacts of California's whole-economy cap-and-invest programThe new affordability crisis — and whether a pragmatic climate “reset” is neededElectric aviation, high-speed rail, and the technologies California should bet on nextThe state's 2045 net-zero planning — and which sectors will need breakthroughs like DAC and industrial CCSLeadership Circle:Cleaning Up is supported by the Leadership Circle, and its founding members: Actis, Alcazar Energy, Davidson Kempner, EcoPragma Capital, EDP of Portugal, Eurelectric, the Gilardini Foundation, KKR, National Grid, Octopus Energy, Quadrature Climate Foundation, SDCL and Wärtsilä.

În episodul acesta din Thinking Made Visible stau de vorbă cu Dacian Pășcuță despre masculinitate și despre felul în care un bărbat se vede pe el însuși în etapele vieții prin care trece. Am început conversația încercând să înțelegem cum se formează perspectivele lui despre maturitate și unde apar tensiunile dintre copilul interior, adolescentul interior și adultul care încearcă să le țină pe toate la un loc.Am simțit că este un subiect care merită privit atent, pentru că mulți bărbați trăiesc presiunea de a rămâne „în control”, iar în spatele acestei presiuni se află emoții, nevoi și frici pe care nu le vedem des. Dacian vorbește despre insuficiență, despre rușine, despre rebeliunile care apar în interior și despre modul în care toate acestea pot fi conținute fără să fie ascunse.Conversația atinge și dinamica relațiilor de cuplu, felul în care apar conflicte, momentele în care adolescentul interior preia controlul și situațiile în care liniștea poate face mai mult decât orice reacție rapidă. Mi se pare o piesă de puzzle importantă în înțelegerea maturității emoționale.Am observat și modul în care el descrie autoconținerea și singurătatea care, în timp, se poate transforma într-o solitudine sănătoasă. E un proces care cere timp, claritate și prezență reală față de propriile emoții. Pentru mine a fost o perspectivă nouă și necesară, pentru că arată masculinul așa cum se trăiește în interior, nu cum arată în exterior.Dacă ești curios cum vede un bărbat matur toate aceste straturi și ce înseamnă, în mod real, să fii în contact cu tine, conversația aceasta o să-ți ofere o privire limpede asupra subiectului.Intro (00:00)Cine este Dacian Păşcuţă (2:48)Etichetele ne rigidizează relația cu viața (4:04)Starea de insuficienţă la bărbaţi (6:11)Bărbații zic că femeile sunt de vină, femeile zic că bărbaţii (9:26)Cine ar trebui să iniţieze (11:22)Le cerem prea multe bărbaților (12:11)Atenţie la cum punem presiune (13:19)Ce este cultura macho (15:33)Exemple de bărbați care se confruntă cu asta (19:34)Punte de legătură între banii pe care îi faci şi relaţia de cuplu (25:15)Exemplu de situaţie - fiecare şef îşi are şeful, dar cum gestionezi (28:14)Alt exemplu - bărbatul într-un rol în care nu face banii pe care și-i dorește (30:58)Bărbatul care trebuie să fie provider pentru familie (37:29)De unde încep să integrez ca bărbat, ca să nu ajung să urăsc femeile (38:58)Felul în care ești tratat este în primul rând în tine... (42:30)Bărbatul se transformă în exact ceea ce ea și-ar fi dorit (47:39)Presiunea că nu eşti suficient de bun pentru ea (49:06)Cum descrii bărbatul matur din prezent (52:02)Ultima întrebare (54:49)Ai impresia că eşti singur, te simţi respins, poate nu faci banii pe care îi vrei (56:41)Outro (58:38)Dă-ți timp să urmărești conversaţia până la capăt, pentru că nu cautăm vinovați. Doar deschidem spațiul pentru înțelegere: pentru femeile care vor să privească altfel şi pentru bărbații care simt că e timpul să se vadă pe ei înșiși mai clar.

In this episode, Jim and Derek are joined by Dac to talk about the physics of Dragonball Z type energy beams. Turns out it's weirder than we thought. Then, if we had to hide a paperclip from a detective for an entire week, how badly would we do?  Panelists: Jim, Derek, Dac
