Tired of Waiting for What You Want August 3, 2026 | Episode 5511 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Are you tired of waiting for your life to show up? After almost 20 years of doing this show, that's the complaint I hear most. You're working hard, doing the thing, and still not quite there. You're not lazy. You're patient to a fault. Somewhere along the way, patience became permission to stall. Today I'm asking a different question: what if you could make up for ten years in one? Not by hustling harder. By stopping the wait. Pick one thing, change it today, and watch everything cascade from there. Featured Story My studio is a hot mess right now — cameras, microphones, and lights stacked everywhere for my Death Valley trip. Squeezed between the gear, I got thinking about my wife, Joy. She's upbeat, optimistic, motivational — and she drives me crazy in one specific way. I come up with an idea, and she says, okay, we'll get to that... maybe next year. I don't even understand it. Scott gets an idea; Scott does an idea like a caveman. But most of the world works like Joy — patient, careful, waiting. And the personal growth business has no incentive to get you anywhere fast. If you arrive, subscriptions end. I'm not that guy. I want you to arrive. Important Points Most people waiting on life aren't lazy — they're patient to a fault, and that patience is what's stalling them. Crisis compresses a decade into months because it permits you to change. You don't have to wait for one. Pick the one change that cascades across every single part of your life, and decide to make it today — not someday. Memorable Quotes You're not lazy. You are patient to a fault — so patient it's stalling you. Patience became your permission to wait. There's no incentive to get you anywhere fast. If you arrive, subscriptions end. I actually want you to arrive. You don't add ten times more. You stop waiting ten times longer. Same math, opposite direction. Ten years in one. Scott's Three-Step Approach Spot where patience has become permission to stall — the place you keep waiting for life to show up on its own. Pick the one thing that could take ten years to reach — the one that would cascade across every part of your life. Decide to change it today, then name what you'll give up to make room, because the trade is what makes it stick.

Daily Boost Podcast Distraction Can Be Good July 31, 2026 | Episode 5510 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description I've been massively distracted for two weeks — and I saw it coming. I'm heading to Death Valley to help my buddy Croix cross Badwater, and the prep has swallowed everything. My book, my routine, my focus. All of it. But distraction isn't always the enemy. Sometimes it hands you better ideas, gives your brain room to work, and shows you what actually matters. The trick is knowing when distraction is working for you — and when it's stealing the one thing you're supposed to do first. Press play and I'll show you the difference. Featured Story For two weeks, my book sat untouched. My wife reminded me — teasing, but fair. I'd been buried in prepping Croy's Badwater crossing through Death Valley: hours a day, seven days a week, handling logistics and rigging cameras. Then my camera died right on my desk after five years. An hour later, I walked out of Best Buy with a mortgage payment's worth of replacement. What I didn't expect: while I wasn't writing, the book got better. I tested its ideas on coaching calls and watched people respond. Whole sections got demoted or cut. New ones showed up. All because I stepped away and let my brain keep working in the background. Important Points Somebody somewhere is working around the clock to take what you're building, so keep growing or watch it slip away. Doing nothing is still an action with real consequences, so make your choices carefully and stay in positive control. Marketing isn't the piece you plug in at the end. In business and in your career, it's where you're supposed to start. Memorable Quotes It doesn't matter if the glass is half empty or half full. All that matters is you are the one pouring the water. When you do nothing, you're actually taking action. There are ramifications for what you do when you do nothing. Every no gets me closer to yes. No's are part of your story, and if you keep working hard, they lead to many yeses. Scott's Three-Step Approach Name the one thing you're supposed to do first — the marketing, the lead flow, the work everything else depends on. Then protect it before the distraction arrives, because the distraction is coming whether you plan for it or not. Now use the break on purpose, letting your brain work in the background and capturing the better ideas it brings back.

For the Black Cadre have a plan, a plan that will take exactly one hundred years to come to fruition. From the streets of St Petersburg to the plains of Death Valley, the Zygon Century continues... 1922: The Black Cadre by Jonathan Barnes From Munich to Dublin to an asylum in Dartmoor, the Zygons have agents everywhere, and their plans are growing in scope and ambition. Can Herbert Scott, that long incarcerated investigator of the occult, do anything to stop them? Is his rescuer - the German heiress, Ilse Lange - all that she seems? And why are the Black Cadre so interested in a mysterious carnival, travelling the wilder reaches of the Cornish coast? 1968: An Incident in Death Valley by Lauren Mooney and Stewart Pringle Fleeing her brutal human captors, and in hiding from the Black Cadre, the Zygon Vorvoren arrives at a run-down diner in the bowels of Death Valley. There, she finds a friend in Junie, a young waitress, and a town terrorised by a ruthless cult. But just who is their mysterious leader, 'The Arkon'? And could he really hold the key to Vorvoren's liberation and revenge? 1974: The Caldwell Restitution by Ken Bentley Agent Caldwell has been posted to the British Embassy in Moscow and ordered to investigate a rising star of the Communist Party. But Caldwell is a shadow of his former self, plagued by nightmares of the past and misty visions of the future.

Daily Boost Podcast Navigating Corporate BS July 30, 2026 | Episode 5509 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description I just spent a couple of hours coaching professionals who are climbing the corporate ladder, and I brought it all straight to the mic. If you've ever looked at the person above you and wondered how somebody that clueless got where they are, this one's for you. You're not crazy. They probably don't know what they're talking about. And once you accept that, everything changes — because the power shifts to you. If you're bumping your head against the ceiling and tired of waiting in line, press play today. Let's get you moving. Featured Story A few years back, my wife landed a big job with the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa — a five-day shoot where she played a cancer patient. Before the audition, she told me it didn't matter what she did because they already knew what they were looking for. I said they absolutely don't. They know they want somebody who looks like a cancer patient. That's it. They're waiting for the right person to walk in the door. As a former producer, I told her to wear that headscarf I love. She didn't wear it — and she still got the job. They had no idea who they wanted. Neither does your boss. Important Points The person above you probably doesn't know what they're talking about, and accepting that is where your power begins. Everybody in corporate America has an expiration date, so stop waiting in line and start casting your own vision now. When they ask you to define the leadership role yourself, that's your opening to answer what nobody else can answer. Memorable Quotes You're the person that drives their success. They need you to succeed, and yet they don't want you to take their job. I accept the fact they're stupid, and I say that in the most respectful, grateful way. From that point, I have power. If you're going to step up, step up. Stop hiding. You've got to bring out the good renegade and have some real impact. Scott's Three-Step Approach Accept that the person above you doesn't have the answers, because that acceptance frees you to stop waiting in line. Then cast the vision yourself by building a presentation that shows how you'd lead, as if the job is already yours. Now make it collaborative, walk them through how you see it, and ask what they think, so you're a peer, not a threat.

Daily Boost Podcast What Do You Do for Fun July 29, 2026 | Episode 5508 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description What do you do for fun? I've asked that question thousands of times, and most smart people can't answer it. They freeze. Meanwhile, my son-in-law rattles off duck hunting and fishing without blinking. Today I'm digging into why fun feels so complicated for achievers — and why it's usually hiding in plain sight. We'll talk hobbies, jet skis you don't need, and a client who just discovered the freedom he built with his own hands. Plus, summer is winding down, and that gives you a rare window to change anything you want. Let's find your fun. Featured Story Years ago, Joel and I drove up to the Grand Canyon to visit friends who live right on the South Rim. Most people don't know there's a whole community up there — housing, schools, thousands of people who work the park. One of my friends had switched careers in his early forties, packed everything up, became a park ranger, and never came back. It's quiet up there—no McDonald's, no movie theater. I was fidgety, so I asked him what they do for fun. He looked at me like the fast-paced city slicker I was and said, "I've been having fun all day, even at work." I didn't get it then. Life taught me later. Important Points Fun is sneaky. It shows up when you're not paying attention — in your work, your waiting, your everyday moments. Stop chasing what society calls fun. The toys land at a yard sale — what you do naturally satisfies far longer. Nobody's paying attention right now. Use this end-of-summer window to decide you'll ramp up in a new direction. Memorable Quotes "Fun is a sneaky little thing. It likes to show up when you're not paying attention, right there in the moment." "It's real freedom when you figure out what you do for fun, you know what makes you happy, and you just do it." "The act of saying I'm going to do it differently starts to clarify the goal. Before you know it, you're different." Scott's Three-Step Approach Notice the moments today when fun sneaks up on you — at work, in the quiet, in the middle of doing your thing. Name what you're doing when you're doing you, and write it down. That answer has been hiding in plain sight for years. Then use this quiet end-of-summer window to schedule more of it before everybody plugs back in this September. Chapters 0:07 - The question most smart people can't answer 1:04 - Why I don't have hobbies and don't need them 2:07 - Death Valley, a 146-mile run, and my documentary 3:38 - A Grand Canyon ranger schools this city slicker 5:03 - Toys, jet skis, and the yard sale two years later 7:26 - My client's breakthrough about real freedom 9:09 - The limited window nobody is paying attention to Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify * Email: support@motivationtomove.com * Main Website: https://motivationtomove.com * YouTube: https://youtube.com/dailyboostpodcast * Instagram: https://instagram.com/heyscottsmith * Facebook Page: https://facebook.com/motivationtomove * Facebook Group: https://dailyboostpodcast.com/facebook Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us Fan MailWith the Badwater 135 having just started on Monday evening, I thought it would be great to bring Bob Becker onto the WASP. For those of you who are unfamiliar, the Badwater 135 is nicknamed the World's Toughest Footrace. It is, yes, 135 miles. In Death Valley. In the middle of the summer. All on roads. The temperature typically is in the 120s or more, and the pavement can get much, much hotter than that. It's not flat by any means, either. Badwater begins at the lowest point in the U.S. - 282 feet below sea level – crosses three mountain ranges, and finishes at more than 9000 feet on the slopes of Mt. Whitney, the highest point in the continental U.S. You can see why it's earned its moniker and legendary place in ultrarunning. In 2022, Bob attempted to become the oldest finisher in Badwater history at age 77. Videos of his finish went viral when he literally bear crawled to the line – but it was 17 minutes after the 48-hour cutoff, so it wasn't an official finish. That would have been it for many, but not Bob. He returned to the starting line at Badwater Basin three years later at age 80 and with crew that included ultrarunning and Badwater legend Marshall Ulrich and wife Heather, Bob nabbed that oldest finisher record in the astounding time of 45:00:06 – three hours faster than when he was 77! That was one of Bob's four Badwater finishes. He has also completed a Badwater double, which entails running from Badwater Basin to the top of 14,505-foot Mt. Whitney and returning to the start, a total of 292 oven-like miles. In this very entertaining chat, Bob explains the lure of running in Death Valley, and describes in detail what it is like to train for and to experience almost two days of running through that inferno. This is from someone who didn't even begin running until a bit over 20 years ago and ran his first ultramarathon to celebrate his 60th birthday, and it was the Marathon des Sables, which entails 150 miles in the Sahara Desert. Bob is also one of the great evangelists for the sport. He founded and still directs the Keys 100, Florida's first ultramarathon, which now includes more than 1000 runners, and has amazing logistical challenges that Bob describes here. His company Ultra Sports LLC also hosts the Daytona 100 and he consults to the Everglades Ultras. You'll be amazed at the energy this 80-year-old has, which is part of why he is in demand as a public speaker. This episode was recorded not long after he ran the Denali 135 in Alaska. He shares how he keeps ultraracing, became a vegan, how he trains for hills in pancake-flat Florida, and inspiring others to do their own movement so they can live fuller, healthier lives.Bob Beckerbob-becker.combob@ultrasportsllc.comInstagram @bobruns150Bill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook and LinkedIn Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @coachstahlYouTube We Are Superman PodcastSubscribe to our Substack for my archive of articles of coaching tips developed from my more than three decades of experience, wild and funny stories from my long coaching career, the wit and wisdom of David, and highlights of some of the best WASP episodes from the past that I feel are worthwhile giving another listen.Search either We Are Superman Podcast or @billstahl8Register for the American Heroes Run: https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=133138

Draft season is here and DJ and Kelcey are not pulling any punches. This week on the High Low Sports Podcast: the five NFL teams you should be avoiding in your 2026 fantasy football drafts, Kelcey's bold SEC top-5 predictions with LSU at No. 1 and Alabama sitting in 6th on a tiebreaker, and a breakdown of the best quarterback-wide receiver stacks to build your roster around this season.   On the fantasy side: the Browns have one or two guys worth a look and that's it. The Titans give you Carnell Tate and Wandale Robinson — and Wandale is a sell-high candidate by Week 7 before the cliff comes. The Panthers rest on Jonathan Brooks' knees. The Dolphins are in an ethical tank. And San Francisco? CMC is ride or die, Kittle's out until November, and DJ is fading the whole roster for the first time in years.   On the college side: Lane Kiffin and Sam Leavitt in Death Valley. Arch Manning finally getting a genuine No. 1 wide receiver in Cam Coleman at Texas. Ole Miss staying together after the Lane Train departed. And the honest truth that the bottom of the SEC is genuinely rough this year — sorry, Arkansas.   Then DJ walks through five QB-WR stacks that could win your league — from the safest play (Goff and ARSB, NFC North defenses are cooked) to the all-in bet (Burrow and Chase, untouchable ceiling, health-permitting) and the overlooked steal of the board (Stafford and Puka Nacua, whose stack has produced Calvin Johnson, Cooper Kupp, and a receiver-one finish every time). Sharp, unfiltered, and zero safe takes. That's the show.  

Daily Boost Podcast Keep the Kid Inside Alive July 27, 2026 | Episode 5506 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description You did everything right. Good career, nice life, all the boxes checked. But somewhere inside you, there's still a kid who wants to do something big — something nobody permitted you to do. Today I'm talking about the nicest renegades I know — people who follow the rules but refuse to let their dreams die. One of them is about to run across Death Valley in August, and only five people in history have finished what he's attempting. If a dream still lives inside you, this episode will show you why conviction changes everything. Featured Story Two weeks ago, I offered to produce Kroy's Death Valley documentary. A week later, I made the call nobody wants to make — I backed out. I wasn't the right fit for run-and-gun photography at 250 feet below sea level. Then his sponsor connected him with a crew that's shot for Netflix and Nat Geo. Great cinematographers. But nobody was producing. Last night, 45 minutes into a call, we hit a brick wall. And I heard myself say the words I knew I'd regret: I think I should produce this thing. On August 4th, I'm flying to Las Vegas, jumping in an RV, and heading into the desert. Important Points Big dreams need slack. Build wiggle room in your money and time first, and you'll survive the mistakes that come. Total conviction is magnetic. When people see you're going no matter what, they stop doubting and start helping. Even a solo dream needs a team. You'll cross the finish line alone, but support is what gets you to the start. Memorable Quotes "You need wiggle room — enough money, enough time, enough space to make mistakes until you figure out what you're doing." "Your heart and soul will get you through it, and yet a bunch of people around you will have to support you to get there." "I can take a doctor, a lawyer, a corporate executive — that kid still lives inside. Pop the lid open and magic happens." Scott's Three-Step Approach Name the dream that's been living inside you since you were a kid, and decide it's happening no matter who says no. Build your slack next — free up enough money, time, and space to make mistakes while you figure out your path. Then let your team in. Share your vision with total conviction, and watch the right people line up behind you.

Daily Boost Podcast Money and Muscles July 14, 2026 | Episode 5497 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description I stayed home over the holiday, skipped Virginia, and wrote 25,000 words in seven days. That's what motivation does. Today I'm talking about my friend Croy, who's about to run 110 miles across Death Valley and climb Mount Whitney — solo, unassisted, at 55. He's scared, and that's the point. I'm digging into why setting a goal with a wall at the end changes you from the inside out, whether you reach it or not. Plus money, muscles, and the strange currencies that keep us moving. Featured Story My friend Croix is getting ready to run across Death Valley. On August 5th, he starts at Badwater, 250 feet below sea level, and runs 110 miles across the desert toward Lone Pine. Then he climbs Mount Whitney, peaking near 15,000 feet. Solo. Unassisted. Towing a wagon. Trying to break a 48-hour record at 55 years old. We worked together to get him a sponsor, and he told me last night he's scared. His body is acting up. He's pulling 75-mile training days and second-guessing everything. I asked him why he's doing it. He said he'll have to die on the course to finish. That's a man who found his motivation. Important Points One of the greatest ways to get motivated is to set a goal with a wall at the end. The payoff is who you become, not just reaching it. The minute you set a nearly impossible goal and step into it, it changes you from the inside out — win or lose. That's the payoff. Motivation is multifold. Find the benefit that keeps you showing up, even if it's not the one you put on the poster. That's the payoff. Memorable Quotes It doesn't matter whether you achieve the goal. The minute you set it and step into it, everything starts changing. That's the payoff. I don't like to do impossible things because they're impossible. The only time I do them is when I don't know they are. When you set a goal like running across Death Valley, first you think it's stupid. Then you can't wait to try it. Scott's Three-Step Approach Start by setting a goal so big it scares you — something with a wall at the end that you almost think you can't do. The payoff is the change it creates. Then step into it immediately, because the change begins the minute you commit, not the day you finally finish. That's the payoff. Finally, borrow motivation from someone else's climb. Tie your goal to theirs and let their finish line pull you. That's the payoff.

www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcastIn November 1970, a father and his two young daughters were hiking through a remote Norwegian ravine that locals had nicknamed "Death Valley" when they stumbled onto a nightmare: the burned, unrecognizable body of a woman, surrounded by personal items with every label, tag, and maker's mark deliberately removed. What followed became one of the strangest unsolved cases in modern European history. Investigators would eventually uncover a woman who had crossed the continent under at least eight false identities, checking into hotel after hotel under invented names and fabricated Belgian hometowns, always paying cash, always wiping her own fingerprints from glasses. Hidden inside the lining of her suitcase: Deutsche Marks, disguises, and a coded notepad no one could read. Norwegian police closed the case within months. No one has ever solved it.Sean, Jorge, and Eric dig into the gruesome discovery, the disturbing autopsy findings, the tangled web of hotel aliases stretching across the continent, and the eyewitnesses who came forward decades later after being told, at the time, to simply forget what they'd seen. It's the foundation of one of the most bizarre disappearances of the Cold War era — and the mystery is only just getting started. Who was the Isdal Woman?

Back on this day in 1913, Death Valley experienced the hottest temperature ever recorded. The high in Death Valley that week hit 134 degrees.

Show Notes Episode 528: “Healter Skelter!” This week Host Dave Bledsoe was trespassed from a children's playground (again) for screaming at a four year old “When you get to the bottom, YOU GO BACK TO THE TOP OF THE SLIDE!!!!” (Made her cry, then angry parents made him cry.) On the show this week we get to the gory parts of the story as we cover the actual murders the Manson Family did. Along the way we discover that Dave wasn't a very good cop. (He almost never violated people's civil rights!) Then we return to Spahn Ranch where the Manson family was in trouble: drugs cost money in Death Valley.  We learn a little about the members of the Family closest to Charlie and about Charlie's Plan for the coming Race War. (It was a little vague) We follow along as the Family meets famous people and people not famous at all really, then murders them. Finally Dave gets around to explaining why he keeps talking about Dune Buggies. Our Sponsor this week is Death Valley Cave Tours, don't start the Race War without them. We open the show with ABC news covering the Manson trial and close with the Hen House Prowler and their playground etiquette tips.

This week we talk about air conditioners, pressure systems, and heat stress.We also discuss weather memes, climate change, and dirty grids.Recommended Book: Battle of the Linguist Mages by Scotto MooreTranscriptAn air conditioner, or AC, or maybe air con if you're in the UK, is a device that moves heat from one location to another. In doing so, it usually dehumidifies the air, as well, so it can rapidly cool a room or entire building by shifting both heat and humidity from that room or building, elsewhere—usually outside.This is basically the same technology used in refrigerators, a process called vapor compression allowing the device to circulate a substance called refrigerant using a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, and an expansion valve, which—and this is a very superficial explanation of what's happening—but these components take advantage of forced circulation and a phase-change between gas and liquid to transfer heat from the room you want to cool, or the inside of the refrigerator, and move that heat outside your building, or to the back and/or bottom of the fridge.This is a far more active mode of air conditioning, of cooling and dehumidifying the air, than has been used throughout history. Most early methods relied on passive approaches, including but not limited to architectural elements, the use of plants and optimization of air flow, or creating basement areas for things that needed to stay cool.Researchers have dabbled with more active methods of conditioning air for centuries, though, and several 19th century inventions served as precursors for the first iteration of modern ACs, some of which were used to create ice, which was useful unto itself, but could also be used to cool a room, if far less effectively and efficiently than an actual, holistic AC unit.In 1894, industrial-grade ammonia compressors, powered by electricity, made this category of device suitable for urban environments; previously they just were far too bulky and difficult to power for city use. By 1896, the Hungarian engineer who came up with this new riff on the theme, István Röck, was manufacturing what he called dry air cooling apparatuses for hospitals, theaters, and other large spaces.Just five years later, in 1901, an American inventor named Willis H Carrier developed what's widely considered to be the first modern electrical AC unit, selling the first one to a lithography company in New York, before patenting the term air conditioning in 1906. The first residential version of this device was installed in 1914, and in 1915 the Carrier Air Conditioning Company of America was formed—a business that still exists today.The impact of air conditioning, and this general technology category, as again, it's also used in modern refrigeration units, cannot be overstated. This tech didn't become widespread in the US, which is where it initially took off, in large part due to Carrier and other AC businesses' presence in the States, until the mid-20th century, and before that, before the 1950s, the state of Florida was technically occupied, but only just barely because of its extreme heat and humidity and abundance of mosquitos. The population of Florida in 1950 was about 2.7 million, and today it's about 23.5 million—that influx of people began after AC units became standard in buildings across the state, and the country. We've seen similar migrations as a result of too-hot places sudden becoming a lot more pleasant.Similarly, refrigeration enabled a boggling amount of change within the food and beverage industry, the chemicals and industrial materials industries, and the healthcare and life science industries, because before the advent of the cold chain—the system of refrigerated spaces, including boxes and trucks and planes and ships that allowed medicines and foods and other substances to stay cold from their origin to their end-consumer—it simply wasn't possible to sell or create or work with many of these products and materials.The distribution of this technology is not universal or equal, however, and in some cases that inequality, that lack of access to this technology in some spaces, is the result of choice, not inaccessibility. And that's what I'd like to talk about today: the spread, or lack thereof, of AC technologies and products, and how a recent heat wave in Europe may lead to more installations of this type of product across the continent.—Beginning in late-May of 2026, a series of severe heatwaves engulfed Europe, and especially Western Europe, breaking all sorts of temperature records and leading to a bunch of heat-related deaths.A recent meme gives a good sense of just how bad this heat wave has been.Back in 2014, as part of a campaign by the World Meteorological Organization, dozens of weather presenters from around the world were invited to record fictionalized weather reports from 2050, with the intention of giving people a sense of how global climate change might impact daily life even as soon as just 36 years in the future.One of these presenters, from France, gave a report of an imagined scenario in which a heat wave descended upon Europe, showing temperatures of 40 degrees celsius, which is about 104 degrees Fahrenheit, with some areas seeing temperatures as high as 43 C or 109.4 degrees F.This was generally considered to be a baffling, maybe even sci-fi sort of prediction at the time. But this clip has resurfaced and widely shared, as, just 12 years later, not 36, this recent heat wave has not just met, but in some cases surpassed that imagined, too-crazy-to-be-real European heat wave scenario.Across much of Western Europe, those temperatures milestones were hit, and in a few locations they were beat by as much as 20 degrees F.For a few days in France, temperatures were higher than in Las Vegas, Nevada and Phoenix, Arizona, coming within 2 degrees F of temperatures in famously too-hot Death Valley, California.All-time high temperature records were broken in Germany, and a handful of other countries are waiting to see if provisionally recorded high-temperatures they experienced hold up, to see if their own records will be broken. The UK recorded a temperature of 37.1 C (98.78 F), the Netherlands saw a top temperature of 39.4 C (nearly 103 F), Belgium hit 40 C (104 F), and Germany recorded 41.3 C (106.3 F)—all temperatures that are 5-12 C above seasonable averages, and this has led to all manner of infrastructural issues, as well.A nuclear power plant in Switzerland had to take both reactors off the grid because the temperature of the river that cools it got too hot, a Eurostar train broke down east of Brussels with about 400 people on board, and 3 people had to be taken to the hospital. A bunch of big public events were cancelled, hospitals were filled to the point of having to triage visitors, and, if these on-the-ground issues weren't enough, researchers in Switzerland have warned that almost all of the winter reserves built up on their glaciers are gone, which suggests the glaciers themselves will begin melting soon—something that usually doesn't start happening until August.This heat wave was the result of a potent heat dome, which is a pocket of high pressure that developed as a result of jet stream fluctuations that pulled hot air north, out of warmer portions of Africa. This type of high pressure pocket can then cause the heat it gathers to just sit there, unmoving, whereas typically it would be pushed around, causing it to disperse, and to thus not have such a significant impact on people and other life on the ground.Unfortunately, these sorts of disruptions to the previous climatic norm are becoming more common as the climate shifts, due to the accumulation of CO2 and other heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere. The regulating systems we've evolved with are changing because there's more overall energy, more heat, powering these systems across the planet, and that means we're no longer able to predict them as accurately, but also that some of these systems could fundamentally change or disappear, possibly in the near future.Events like this, which are currently rare, then, could soon become common. And meteorologists in Europe have warned, during this major heat wave, that this sort of event could be a regular thing, and soon, and could even last a lot longer; not a matter of days or weeks, but possibly spanning months at a time, without reprieve.That's not great news for a continent that, until now, has generally been pretty okay with its existing heat and weather infrastructure. Unlike the US and other countries that have some incredibly hot regions, leading to the widespread installation of AC units, only about 20% of homes across Europe have AC installed. As a result, as this heat wave descended on the area, trapping heat inside buildings that were constructed with cooler weather in mind, people have been unable to remain indoors, to work, to sleep; it's been miserable. And in some cases, deadly; the combination of heat and humidity making it more difficult for peoples' bodies to regulate heat via sweat, and that's led to an increase in heat stress on their bodies—which is just a miserable thing to deal with, but it also means a lot of people, including but not limited to the very young and very old, are more likely to die, their bodies simply incapable of handling that level of persistent temperature strain.Back in the summer of 2022, during another, less intense heat wave, more than 60,000 people died across Europe due to heat stress and related ailments. The numbers are still out on this more recent heat wave, but the stats are expected to be pretty grim, as in addition to the individual strain people in these afflicted areas are suffering, infrastructure tends to collapse in unprepared areas, hospitals not functioning or not functioning well, their machines and IT systems failing due to the heat, and the medical professionals working in these places suffering alongside everyone else, their bodies under constant heat stress, not getting enough sleep, and so on. There have already been a lot of reports of children dying of heat stress after being left in cars for short periods, and people drowning in large numbers, trying to cool off un-moderated bodies of water.The conversation that tends to bubble up in the wake of such incidents is representative of the larger conversation around climate change and its impacts.Air conditioning, and lower-powered, but just as effective heating and cooling options like heat pumps, which are basically ACs that work in both directions, but which tend to consume less energy than conventional AC units, these devices are amazing short-term solutions and help people survive and thrive in even the hottest, most humid and unwelcoming environments and climates.They also require, especially in the case of conventional ACs, a whole lot of power. And across much of the world right now, that means burning fossil fuels.The sad irony is that in powering these devices that are more necessary because of climate change impacts, people and institutions are contributing more to that large-scale problem, worsening the impacts of climate change, which then necessitates more artificial, power-hungry cooling.Experts continue to remind lawmakers and others in the position to make big-picture decisions on these sorts of matters that there are a lot of opportunities to reduce ground-level temperatures in passive, non-energy-hungry ways.Painting large surfaces brighter colors so more heat is reflected rather than absorbed, planting more trees and other greenery, installing solar panels, using passive building materials and architectural techniques to improve insulation and air flow; there's a lot of low-hanging fruit for areas that are becoming warmer, and which would otherwise require a lot more energy and fossil fuel burning just to keep life tolerable and survivable.Unfortunately, many of these options aren't widespread or even well-known, and the short-term solutions, like conventional AC units, are quick and effective, and a lot easier, currently at least, to install than superior options, like heat pumps.There's a good chance, then, than the most impacted areas will become even bigger contributors to the problems they're trying to solve; until larger-scale incentives, subsidies, and policies change that status quo, at least.Show Noteshttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/24/climate/europe-fastest-warming-continent.htmlhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2026/jun/24/europe-heatwave-live-news-updates-uk-record-breaking-temperatures-italy-red-alerthttps://arstechnica.com/science/2026/06/the-sad-inevitability-of-europes-heat-wave/https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/27/climate/europe-heat-wave-nuclear-trains-infrastructure.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/26/weather/europe-heat-wave-temperatures.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/26/world/europe/europe-heat-climate-change-politics.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/26/world/europe/france-heat-alcohol-paris-ban.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/26/climate/europe-heat-wave-climate-change.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/25/world/europe/france-children-heat-cars-deaths.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/25/world/europe/heat-wave.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/25/arts/europe-museums-heat.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/25/weather/belgium-heat-wave-brussels.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/25/world/europe/paris-canal-swimming-heatwave-france.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/24/climate/europe-fastest-warming-continent.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_European_heatwaveshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_United_Kingdom_heatwaveshttps://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026/06/25/french-tv-presenter-once-imagined-2050-heat-wave-did-france-reach-those-levels-this-week/https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/26/climate/european-heat-wave-impossible-global-warminghttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/europe-air-conditioning-deadly-heat-waves-more-common/https://www.theatlantic.com/health/2026/06/europe-air-conditioning/687711/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_conditioninghttps://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/jun/25/hospitals-nhs-england-critical-incidents-machines-it-fail-extreme-heat This is a public episode.

Episode Description You finally decide to chase the big thing, the one you've been circling for years. And the moment you say yes out loud, the whole world seems to line up behind you and block your path at the very same time. That's not a sign you picked the wrong one. That's just what happens when you finally mean it. Today I'll tell you about a friend of mine who decided to run 146 miles across Death Valley, alone, in the middle of summer, and what it actually took to get from "I want this" to "it's really happening." Come find out. Featured Story My friend Kroy decided to run 146 miles across Death Valley to take back a record he'd lost by a few hours. Unsupported. Towing his own water in a little wagon. Only about five people on earth have ever done it. The hard part wasn't the heat. It was getting from the dream to the money. He needed a title sponsor, and he didn't believe he could land one. So we pushed him. Call somebody. Return that email. Quit waiting. Then one day, he's on the phone, and the sponsor says, " We're flying out to support you. And it finally hit him. Oh, this is real. I'm actually in it now. Important Points The second you decide to chase something real, resistance shows up. That isn't a stop sign, it's proof you mean it. You don't need a thousand small supporters behind you. Sometimes you just need one person to say yes and back you. The biggest naysayer you'll ever meet is you. Get out of your own way and let people who care push you forward. Memorable Quotes The naysayers all show up the second you decide to go. And the biggest naysayer you'll ever find is you, not believing. If you do the thing, you get the money. And then you get to do the thing. That is the whole order of how it works. You don't need a thousand people on Patreon. You just need one good person to cut one check and back your whole dream. Scott's Three-Step Approach First, decide exactly who you are and what you're chasing, then say it out loud to people who will hold you to it. Next, start pushing buttons. Call anyone, send the email, and ask for the support long before you ever feel ready. Finally, when fear tells you to quit, return the call anyway. Keep stepping, and the dream slowly turns real for you.

Send us Fan MailWe've featured a lot of people who have taken on epic challenges, but this guest, Ray Zahab of Quebec, Canada, has done dozens and dozens of them. When we recorded this two years ago, Ray had just completed a couple of weeks before a crossing of Death Valley from north to south. I'm very familiar with the Badwater 135, which just completed, but that is run on roads. I didn't even know it was a thing there to run the shortest route between two points, completely off-road. The terrain is seriously rugged, and it's pretty hot, and Ray ran it with limited re-supplies in 53:35:21. In case you're wondering, he drank 75 liters of water. He's also run across the widest park of Death Valley west to east, crossing two mountain ranges, in 35 hours. He's run 7500 km across the Sahara Desert in 111 days, 1850 km across the Namib Desert in Africa, 1200 km across the Atacama Desert in Chile, and 2000 km across the Gobi Desert in Mongolia. That's the hot, dry stuff. He's crossed Baffin Island in northern Canada nine times in winter and trekked from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole on snowshoes pulling his supply sled. And I'm just scratching the surface. Here's the WASP comeback story angle: Ray did this last Death Valley project a little more than a year after completing six months of debilitating chemotherapy for a rare form of lymphoma. What's very cool about Ray is how he shares his projects with schoolchildren with live links, and he has been running his foundation, impossible2Possible, to introduce kids to the kind of adventuring he does and reach beyond their perceived limits. The foundation takes kids to wild places so they can challenge themselves, and it doesn't even charge them to be there! Yes, they're free! Ray and his wife have been raising two daughters who get to experience the outdoors unlike the way Ray was when he was younger and was an out-of-shape, pack-a-day smoker. So there's another comeback. His brother inspired him to get outdoors and Ray now encourages everyone to also do so, including with his expedition company, KapiK1, which leads trips to remote and beautiful places like Baffin Island, the Atacama Desert, and the Gobi Desert.

Most of us never stop to ask who we really are. We just keep wearing whatever mask the day hands us — the work one, the friend one, the parent one. Do that long enough, and the mask becomes the face. You wake up living a borrowed identity and wonder why nothing lights you up anymore. Today I want to help you find the real one underneath. Once you know who you are, your vision stops being a slogan and starts pulling you out of bed. Press play and let's dig in. Featured Story My friend Croy ran across America — a hundred marathons in just over a hundred days, coast to coast. There was a TED Talk, a book, the whole thing. Then the running stopped, and so did he. For a couple of years, he drifted, trying to figure out who he was without the miles. Then, six months ago, he showed up on a call and surprised all of us. He said, "My identity is that of an adventurer." He's retaking his Badwater record across Death Valley this August. The moment he accepted who he'd always been, the drifting ended. Now he can't wait to get up and run. Important Points Your vision doesn't lead your identity — your identity leads your vision, so get clear on who you really are first. Whatever mask you wear day after day slowly becomes who you actually are, so choose the role you play carefully. Nothing you do is purely for someone else — own that it starts with you, and the old guilt finally loses its grip. Memorable Quotes Your legacy is being built right now — whatever you do today becomes your legacy someday, so go build it on purpose. Wear a surface-level role day after day, and you begin to believe it, until eventually it quietly becomes who you are. There is nothing you do exclusively for somebody else — own that it's for you, and you stop burning out and quitting. Scott's Three-Step Approach Start by naming your true identity — the who-you-are that lives in your heart, not the mask you put on for the office. Then let that identity cast your vision, asking who you help, how, and why, until the vague slogan turns specific. Finally, act on that vision every day, so the doing reinforces who you are and fires up your engine to get out of bed. Chapters 0:02 - Today is all about your identity and vision 1:27 - Firing up the anticipation engine that pulls you up 2:58 - Why "I just want to help a million people" falls short 5:26 - The mask you wear long enough becomes who you are 8:14 - Your legacy is ego-driven, and that's okay 9:33 - The man who knew his identity in a heartbeat 11:54 - Croy trades drifting for an adventurer's life Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify If you enjoy the Daily Boost, you might like Notes From Scott.

This episode we're covering Death Valley, the Welsh cozy mystery on BritBox that's basically Midsomer Murders but with even more unpronounceable town names and a retired actor solving crimes for fun. This is also our first video episode! Come check us out on YouTube or patreon.com/cluedunnitpodcast!  In this episode: Retired TV detective actor John Chapel (Timothy Spall) teams up with eager-but-junior DS Janie Mallowan (Gwyneth Keyworth) to investigate a murder at a 15-year high school reunion. The guesses:

Death Valley in California is famously one of the harshest environments in the world. Because of extreme heat and little rain, it's exceptionally difficult for plants to live there.But the seeds for certain types of flowers and other plants continue to lay dormant in the ground, waiting for rain and a chance to bloom. Thanks to a rare heavy rainfall in later 2025 and January 2026, Death Valley is experiencing a beautiful wildflower season this Spring.This rare desert botanical phenomenon is called a “superbloom,” where an unusually high amount of wildflowers germinate and bloom around the same time. This is so rare and beautiful that people travel from across the world to see the superbloom when it happens.Pastor and author Jeff Jenkins has a book that came out this spring under the same name — Superbloom. The idea is that believers experience a drought in their hearts — dreams lie dormant with little to no hope of resurgence. His book contends that God can produce a “superbloom” in our lives the same way one happens in the desert. “The soil of your life is the seed for what God has already planted in you,” he writes. “The discovery of what you will find is the basis of this book.”The idea for this book came to him through a prophetic dream, and we spend some time in this conversation exploring what such a dream looks like and how to discern a prophetic dream against a normal dream.Jeff is the lead pastor at Anchor Church in McKinney, Texas, and also hosts the Anchor Deep Podcast. He's a neat guy with an amazing testimony, and I'm excited to share this conversation with him on the podcast this week. Be sure to grab his book.

We all know we live in a chaotic world filled with noise coming from all directions. We know that God ordained and blessed the family as the first union and community. So, for ourselves and our kids we need to take every step possible to make our homes into a sanctuary where God's presence and peace are welcome and manifested.Let's start this week with a very familiar passage. Let's take the words and apply them to our homes. Listen to Psalm 23 … The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever. (NLT)Is there an action or attitude that you do or have that disrupts the scripture describes as ‘rest in green meadows' or ‘leads by peaceful streams' in your home?How can you make your home a place that feels like a green meadow or a peaceful stream where strength is renewed?We all experience ‘dark valleys” - our kids do too… Is there something that you can do to be what God describes himself as doing - being with us in dark valleys? How can we better be ‘with' our kids in their dark valley?Listen now to this same passage in The Message Bible … God, my shepherd! I don't need a thing. You have bedded me down in lush meadows, you find me quiet pools to drink from. True to your word, you let me catch my breath and send me in the right direction. Even when the way goes through Death Valley, I'm not afraid when you walk at my side. Your trusty shepherd's crook makes me feel secure. You serve me a six-course dinner right in front of my enemies. You revive my drooping head; my cup brims with blessing. Your beauty and love chase after me every day of my life. I'm back home in the house of God for the rest of my life.No matter how close or how far away you may feel Psalm 23 fits your home or is a place where you sense God's peace, we want to encourage you to find one, just one, step you can take to invite God's presence in. As you make your home His home, you and your kids will feel more at home than ever before.Let's pray together: “Heavenly Father, I want you to fill my home from floor to ceiling, wall to wall with Your presence. Make my home a Psalm 23 sanctuary, as only You can do by Your peace. As above, so below.”

Is seed investing facing an existential crisis? This week on The Data Minute, Peter sits down with Rob Go, Founding Partner at NextView Ventures, to discuss the structural shifts making the "game on the field" harder than ever for early-stage investors.Rob explains why many successful seed VCs are exiting the industry and how the rise of mega-funds and massive accelerators like YC has squeezed traditional seed firms into a narrow "subset" of the market. They dive into the "feeder fund" phenomenon, the arbitrary nature of ownership mandates, and why the $1B–$3B exit range has become a "Death Valley" for startups.Despite the current angst, Rob shares his optimistic "bull case" for 2030, explaining why diminishing competition and a rotation away from late-stage consensus will lead to a healthier venture substrate in the years to come.Subscribe to Carta's weekly Data Minute newsletter: https://carta.com/subscribe/data-newsletter-sign-up/Explore interactive startup and VC data, with Carta's Data Desk: https://carta.com/data-desk/Chapters:00:20 – Intro: Rob Go and the Seed Existential Crisis02:16 – Defining Seed: Betting on anything before PMF03:35 – Why senior seed VCs are exiting the industry05:02 – The Squeeze: Mega-funds vs. Accelerators07:02 – Scarcity vs. Abundance: What's left for seed funds?08:44 – The "Feeder Fund" trap and the factory supply chain12:38 – The risk of taking seed money from a mega-fund13:34 – Breaking down the 4 styles of seed investing15:20 – Why specialist seed funds can be transient19:29 – Super Compounders: Will exits keep getting bigger?21:59 – The "Death Valley" of $1B–$3B exits25:08 – The Blumhouse equivalent for venture capital27:18 – Normalizing secondaries as an exit strategy33:53 – Rant: Why ownership targets are backwards39:04 – Offensive vs. Defensive bridge rounds45:07 – "I've become way more Zen": Why the 2030 outlook is bullish50:18 – OutroThis presentation contains general information only and eShares, Inc. dba Carta, Inc.

Someone on a coaching call this week heard the words "anticipatory anxiety" and froze. They thought it meant something was wrong with them. It's actually one of the most useful tools you've got. Used right, it doesn't trap you — it frees you up to move. Today, I'm walking through why turning face-first into what scares you is the fastest way to make it shrink. I'll tell you about my friend running across Death Valley, my morning in the sauna, and the three-step process that's quietly run my whole life. Press play. Featured Story I was at the gym this morning and pushed it hard. Heavy weights with a friend, then 30 minutes on the rotating stair machine. Then I walked into the sauna and sat there for 35 minutes too long. The body started shutting down. Stars at the edges. Couldn't quite stand. The kind of nervous system collapse where staying conscious is the only thing that matters. My friend Billy hung around to make sure I was okay. The guys working the gym ran in with ice and their own personal Snapple — not from the cooler, theirs. I was fine. But it taught me something about what happens when you don't anticipate what could go wrong. Important Points About 90% of what you worry about never actually happens. It's anxiety rehearsing a movie that won't ever air. Pre-process every angle of what could go wrong, then keep moving. The worry tends to shrink the moment you face it. Anticipatory anxiety can free you instead of trapping you. Turn into what scares you and watch its grip on you dissolve. Memorable Quotes Turn face first into the thing scaring you, look at it clearly, and deal with it — you mitigate it. The anxiety drops. Anticipatory anxiety can be used for good, not just for evil. It doesn't have to scare you — it can actually free you. More is on the other side of less. The things dragging you down need to go — and you already know that, deep down. Scott's Three-Step Approach First, face whatever's been dogging you — the bad job, the stale marriage, the dream you keep pushing further back. Then build the new life. Cut the friction that's dragging you down — more is always on the other side of less. Finally, live it daily. Fill the space you cleared with what you actually want, or you'll drift back to the old life.

If you think heat exhaustion only happens to hikers in Death Valley or people running ultramarathons in the desert… think again. This week on the Fit Girl Magic Podcast, I'm sitting down with Shannon from the American Red Cross to talk about something a lot of us completely underestimate: HEAT. And listen… as women over 40, our bodies don't always regulate temperature the same way they used to. Add hormones, medications, humidity, dehydration, caffeine, stubbornness ("I'm fine!"), and that one friend still jogging at noon in 97 degrees… and things can go sideways fast. We're breaking down: ▶️ The difference between heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke ▶️ How much water you actually need before and during workouts ▶️ Why humidity feels like running through soup ▶️ Whether electrolytes are worth the hype ▶️ The safest times to work out in the summer ▶️ How cities are literally trying to cool themselves down ▶️ The warning signs your body is overheating before it becomes dangerous We also talk about: • Why "more sweat = better workout" is mostly diet culture nonsense • Why your giant iced coffee is NOT hydration • Why your body at 45 isn't the same body you had at 25 • And how to stop treating heat like it's "not that serious" Your body can do amazing things… but not when it's dehydrated and angry. This episode is basically your official permission slip to: ✔️ Carry the giant emotional support water bottle ✔️ Stop proving yourself in 95-degree weather Because no one gets a medal for overheating in a parking lot fitness class. Grab your water bottle, your electrolytes, and maybe a cooling towel if you're fancy… and let's survive summer like hydrated queens. Resources Mentioned: American Red Cross Heat Check Hydration + heat safety tips from the Red Cross And if you have that one friend who insists "it's not THAT hot" while running at high noon… Send her this episode immediately.

Death Valley by Kim Brian Snyder https://www.amazon.com/Death-Valley-Kim-Brian-Snyder/dp/B0FDDRD63K Time travel, high-stakes poker and a deadly conspiracy buried in the heart of the Old West… Mick Johnson thought he was returning to Death Valley to confront his past. Instead, he's drawn into a web of deals, cover-ups, and missing persons that could threaten the very future of the American Southwest. Twenty-five years after his brother's tragic death, Mick is back in the desert, seeking answers. When Mick teams up with Rose, a determined park ranger investigating mysterious deaths in the valley, they discover a conspiracy that ties the valley's history to a looming environmental disaster. As Mick digs deeper, he encounters legendary figures from the Old West, including Death Valley Scotty, lawman Wyatt Earp, and silent movie star, Tom Mix. But the past is more than just a memory—it's alive, and time itself may be shifting around them. With the help of an enigmatic time traveler from his future, Mick must unravel the secrets of a two-headed coin, an old tattered journal, and a poker game that holds the key to a deadly conspiracy. Can he save Rose and alter the course of history before it's too late?

Have you ever wanted to reinvent yourself? Don't become someone new — just get back to who you already are under all the noise. My clients are doing it right now—Dave's podcast is taking off, Kroy's running 142 miles across Death Valley, and Niaz keeps publishing in the LA Times. Seeing their progress got me a little jealous, maybe even pissed off in the best possible way. I've spent my life helping people skip the slow grind and get what they actually want. Today, I share why most people wait 20 years to make the shift. Press play and let's go. Featured Story Just after seeing my clients challenge themselves, I got off a Face Your Passion Inner Circle call where I spent 90 minutes asking one question: What if you changed everything today? Not one habit. Not your morning routine. Everything. Their reactions stopped me cold. My client Dave, who runs a podcast called Outside the Walls, listened. Halfway through the call, Chris went quiet for a second, then shared something I can't shake: 'Scott, I am living inside the walls.' That hit me, and it made me realize most of us are living inside walls we built and forgot about. At that moment, I knew exactly what to do next. Important Points Reinvention means rediscovering your authentic self by removing the things that hide it. Friction is real, but it isn't the problem to solve. Most of us battle friction for decades and never get what we want. You can change in a second. The only question is whether you're the one calling the change or waiting for life to do it. Memorable Quotes Deciding gets you there. The rest is just logistics. That's the part the personal growth industry will never tell you. Reinvention is about reclaiming your true self beneath friction and obligations. Most people spend 20 years wearing themselves out really slowly. Operation Reinvention is the shortcut past that grind. Scott's Three-Step Approach Get clear on the one thing you actually want — not the version that fits your current life, the real one underneath. Then change everything around that one thing instead of trying to tweak your way there, one little habit at a time. Finally, get the right support and run hard so the friction becomes automatic and stops calling the shots in your life.
