Cindy Esliger explores the real cost of losing belief in ourselves and how self-doubt quietly limits career growth, especially for women in STEM and other male-dominated workplaces. Staying silent, downplaying achievements, and waiting for permission can feel like the safer path, but those choices create invisibility over time and prevent us from pursuing opportunities we've already earned. Cindy explains why self-confidence is not a fluffy concept but a critical skill for building a successful career. Drawing on the unique challenges women face in technical fields, Cindy explains how repeated microaggressions, vague feedback, and being overlooked can slowly erode confidence. She highlights six warning signs that lack of self-belief is costing us: 1. Asking permission instead of taking initiative, 2. Working harder and later than everyone else to prove worth, 3. Attributing success to luck, timing, or other people while owning every failure, 4. Staying quiet in meetings or minimizing ideas with apologies, 5. Declining opportunities because of feeling underqualified, and 6. Apologizing excessively even when nothing is wrong. She also challenges common beliefs that keep us stuck and explains the difference between confidence built on external evidence and self-confidence that comes from trusting ourselves. Cindy closes with four practical strategies to strengthen self-confidence from the inside out: 1. Understand the difference between confidence and self-confidence, 2. Use our voices effectively and powerfully, 3. Stop relying on other people's belief in us, and 4. Manage our thoughts deliberately. Believing in ourselves is not about arrogance. It's about trusting that we can handle whatever happens, continuing to take action despite uncertainty, and creating the career and life we truly want.

Chrissy Pasquale-Urso owns five bars and restaurants (all within one block of each other) in Binghamton, New York. She shares her origin story of buying a university bar at age 21 through seller financing after bartending there for two years, then growing into a portfolio that includes a sushi restaurant, a pizzeria, and more, eventually buying the building itself. Now splitting her time between Soho, Montauk, and Binghamton while raising two young kids with her husband and business partner Andrew, Chrissy offers candid insight into the modern challenges facing operators: declining alcohol consumption among Gen Z, the impact of GLP-1 drugs and cannabis on check sizes, the constant need to reinvent offerings for a social-media-driven audience, post-COVID staffing struggles, ghosting job applicants, and rising costs. Throughout, she emphasizes the value of owning real estate, staying creative, developing talent from within, and the intangible "it" factor that entrepreneurs in hospitality need to survive and thrive.Key TakeawaysSeller financing can open doors for young operators. Chrissy bought her first bar at 21 with no lump sum. The previous owner financed the purchase over five years and stayed on for two years to ensure a smooth transition.Owning your building is a major long-term advantage. By purchasing the property housing her bar and developing multiple concepts within it, Chrissy insulated herself from the lease negotiations and rent hikes that force even successful restaurants to close.Consumer behavior has shifted, and menus must adapt constantly. Declining alcohol consumption, GLP-1 drugs prompting customers to split dishes and skip that third cocktail, and legal cannabis are all shrinking checks. Specials that once ran for a decade now fizzle within a year.Social media has reshaped how people go out. Younger customers save up for a photogenic experience, whether an espresso martini or a nice meal worth posting. Watch parties, extravagant birthdays, and "Instagrammable" moments now drive traffic more than old standbys like trivia.Creativity is largely an owner's job. Chrissy finds it hard to hire managers who can both manage people and consistently generate fresh ideas, so the burden of reinvention tends to fall on ownership.Post-COVID staffing is a persistent struggle. Kitchen and server retention is harder than ever as workers opt for the benefits, steady hours, and 9-to-5 schedules of employers like Amazon. Ghosting interviews and quitting without notice have become common.Talent is often found from within. Chrissy watches for servers or even customers with a special spark, promoting people who didn't realize they wanted a hospitality career, which helps combat costly turnover.Vet new tech carefully and favor low-commitment trials. Bombarded daily by tech vendors, Chrissy chose owner.com because it was month-to-month with minimal downside risk. She values local, service-oriented vendors like SpotOn who can show up in person.Rising costs demand consistency and hospitality. As dining out gets expensive, customers become more selective, returning to places that deliver reliable food and service that makes them feel genuinely welcome.Hospitality entrepreneurship requires a certain DNA. Chrissy never questions whether a concept is a good idea. She just executes. Being a good home cook isn't enough. Success requires assembling experts across food, staff, and marketing, managing people, and being okay with disappointment.

How to get a job in a declining market is becoming one of the biggest questions facing workers in Britain, especially as AI skills, digital literacy and retraining move rapidly from “useful extra” to “apparently essential by next Tuesday.” In this episode of Mark and Pete, we look at the UK jobs market, the skills employers are now demanding, and whether ordinary applicants are being asked to become data analysts, project managers, cyber-security experts and emotionally intelligent machine-whisperers all at once.Reed, the major UK recruitment agency, says the most valuable skills for jobseekers now include artificial intelligence, machine learning, cybersecurity, data analysis, digital marketing, project management, cloud computing, green skills, leadership and human resources. Which is quite a list. Once upon a time, being reliable, presentable and able to answer the telephone without causing a constitutional incident was considered a decent start.But the labour market is getting tighter. UK vacancies have fallen, unemployment has risen, and there are now more jobseekers competing for each available role. Employers can afford to be choosier, while applicants are increasingly expected to prove not only what they know, but how quickly they can learn whatever replaced it last week.We ask what AI skills for jobs really means. Is it enough to know how to use ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot or other generative AI tools? Or do employers want something deeper: prompt writing, data literacy, ethical judgement, fact-checking, automation and the ability to spot when the machine has produced polished nonsense?We also look at the enduring value of human skills. Communication. Reliability. Creativity. Empathy. Leadership. Judgement. The things that cannot simply be downloaded in an afternoon, though no doubt someone is preparing a webinar.So, what should you learn to improve your employment prospects? Should schools, colleges and employers provide more retraining? Are older workers being left behind? And is AI creating new opportunities, or quietly removing the first rung from the career ladder?Mark and Pete discuss how to find work in a difficult job market, the best skills to learn in 2026, AI and employment, CV skills, career changes, job applications, retraining and how to remain usefully human while the machines become increasingly pleased with themselves.

And almost nobody is talking about it. Catharine Arnston is the founder of Energy Bits, a PhD holder, and the world's leading voice on spirulina and chlorella — the two algae she calls your nutritional and health insurance. She found this world trying to help her sister recover from breast cancer, spent 17 years going deeper into science than anyone else has, and is now nearly 70 years old with more energy, clarity, and vitality than most people half her age. The proof is in everything she says. In this episode, you'll discover:  • Why spirulina's amino acid profile is almost identical to mother's breast milk — and how it protects the mitochondria, clears brain fog, and rebuilds energy at a cellular level without stimulants or crashes  • What chlorella actually does inside the body: pulling out heavy metals, toxins, and excess iron while triggering serotonin production, improving mood, and getting your gut moving  • Why most algae on the market has had its most critical nutrients deactivated — and what to look for to make sure you're getting the real thing Aging is natural.

In episode 585, Fr. Marc Boulos explores the profound linguistic and scriptural connections between Luke 9:10–13 and Sūrat al-ʿAṣr, showing how both texts speak a common Semitic grammar of time, need, loss, and divine provision.As the day declines in Luke, the disciples conclude that the crowd must be sent away. They see the wilderness, the fading light, and their five loaves as proof that there is not enough. Yet Jesus reads the very same signs differently. Throughout Scripture, the wilderness is where God feeds his people, the declining day belongs to the God who stretches out the heavens like a tent, and apparent lack becomes the place where his provision is revealed.Drawing on Hebrew, Greek, and Arabic, Fr. Marc examines the roots behind Luke's language of need (χρεία), the bending of the day (κλίνω / נ-ט-ה / ن-ط-و), and the Qurʾan's oath by the "declining time," al-ʿaṣr (العصر), arguing that both texts confront the same temptation: allowing the pressure of time and the appearance of scarcity to govern our judgment instead of the command of God.The episode also considers the biblical understanding of desire, the guarding of the heart, the relationship between God's word and true provision, and the symbolic significance of the five loaves as the bread of the Torah. Rather than presenting the feeding of the five thousand as a miracle detached from its setting, Fr. Marc shows how every detail—the wilderness, the hour, the bread, and the command—belongs to a single scriptural grammar in which obedience transforms lack into abundance.The Declining Day is an invitation to read the signs as Scripture reads them: not through the arithmetic of scarcity, but through the God whose provision is already present in the very place where the world sees only loss. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

What if one of the most important health crises affecting men today wasn't being caused by aging, but by the environment we live in? In this eye-opening solo episode, Darin Olien investigates the alarming decline in testosterone levels, fertility, and reproductive health among men worldwide. Drawing on decades of research, epidemiological studies, environmental science, endocrinology, and public health data, Darin examines the growing evidence connecting endocrine-disrupting chemicals, microplastics, sleep deprivation, chronic stress, poor lifestyle habits, and environmental toxins to declining testosterone levels across generations. From BPA, phthalates, atrazine, PFAS, and microplastics to sleep quality, circadian rhythms, cholesterol metabolism, cortisol regulation, and natural testosterone-supporting strategies, this episode explores what may be one of the most underreported public health issues of our time—and what men can do to take control of their health today.     What You'll Learn Why testosterone levels have been declining for decades The startling research on global sperm count decline How endocrine-disrupting chemicals interfere with hormone production Why BPA and phthalates may disrupt testosterone synthesis The role of atrazine, PFAS, and environmental toxins How chronic stress diverts resources away from testosterone production Why sleep may be the most important testosterone intervention The connection between cholesterol and hormone production How microplastics are being found throughout the human body The surprising relationship between statins and testosterone levels Natural lifestyle strategies that support healthy hormone production Practical steps to reduce environmental exposure and improve health     Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Fatty15 and cellular health 00:04:17 – The testosterone collapse explained 00:04:51 – Testosterone levels have been declining for decades 00:06:03 – Global sperm count decline and accelerating trends 00:07:02 – Why treating symptoms misses the root cause 00:07:27 – The hidden public health crisis 00:08:03 – Why low testosterone isn't just about aging 00:09:12 – Why hormone health affects longevity 00:09:53 – Low testosterone and increased mortality risk 00:10:35 – Testosterone's role in metabolism and cardiovascular health 00:11:27 – Endocrine-disrupting chemicals and hormone disruption 00:12:44 – BPA and its effects on testosterone production 00:13:59 – Phthalates and their impact on hormone pathways 00:16:00 – Glyphosate, atrazine, and pesticide exposure 00:17:07 – PFAS and reproductive health concerns 00:17:55 – Environmental toxins and population-wide effects 00:18:11 – Sponsor: Shakeology 00:20:02 – Cholesterol and hormone production 00:20:53 – Chronic stress and cortisol dominance 00:21:45 – Actionable solutions begin 00:21:56 – Why sleep is essential for testosterone production 00:23:07 – How sleep deprivation rapidly lowers testosterone 00:23:21 – Light pollution and circadian disruption 00:23:41 – Foods and nutrients needed for hormone health 00:24:23 – Microplastics and testicular tissue 00:24:53 – Statins and unintended hormonal consequences 00:25:39 – A practical testosterone sovereignty protocol 00:25:48 – Water filtration and reducing toxic exposure 00:26:13 – Eliminating plastics and fragrance chemicals 00:26:35 – Why organic food matters 00:26:45 – Sunlight and vitamin D 00:27:05 – Magnesium, omega-3s, and iodine 00:27:26 – Pine pollen and natural androgen support 00:28:01 – Tongkat Ali and ashwagandha 00:28:48 – Strength training and lifestyle interventions 00:29:10 – Habits that naturally support testosterone 00:29:27 – Darin's approach to healthy aging 00:29:37 – Plants, herbs, and common sense 00:29:51 – Reclaiming your health and sovereignty 00:30:00 – Final thoughts and closing message     Thank You to Our Sponsors Fatty15: Get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to fatty15.com/DARIN and using code DARIN at checkout.

It may be a reflection of the modern environment itself—one increasingly saturated with endocrine-disrupting chemicals, chronic stress, poor sleep, circadian disruption, and toxic exposures. While many of these forces feel outside our control, the encouraging reality is that many of the most powerful interventions remain accessible: improving sleep, reducing toxic load, eating whole foods, getting sunlight, managing stress, exercising regularly, and reclaiming responsibility for our health. The goal isn't fear. The goal is awareness—and action."     Bibliography/Sources: The Decline — Primary Research Levine, H., Jørgensen, N., Martino-Andrade, A., et al. (2022).

Most people buying businesses are looking for the obvious. The obvious growth. The obvious profit. The obvious opportunity. That's exactly why they miss the best deals. Kyle Brown spent years in investment banking and private equity evaluating acquisitions before ever buying a business himself. And what he learned was simple: The businesses that look the safest aren't always the best investments. And the businesses that look broken aren't always broken. When Kyle came across an ecommerce business that was barely breaking even, most buyers would have walked away. Declining performance. Frustrated owners. Uncertain future. On paper, it looked risky. But Kyle wasn't looking at the same things everyone else was. In this episode, Jaryd sits down with Kyle to unpack how investment bankers evaluate opportunities, how private equity investors think about risk, and how to value a business when traditional formulas stop working. They discuss why so many buyers become obsessed with multiples, how distressed businesses can create outsized returns, and the operational changes that helped turn a struggling acquisition back into a profitable company. But perhaps the biggest lesson is this: Buying a business isn't about finding perfection. It's about seeing something everyone else has missed. Most buyers never learn how to do that. Kyle did.

How to Reverse Cognitive Decline, Grow Your Hippocampus, and Protect Your Brain from Alzheimer's Disease with Nutrition, Exercise, Sleep, and Stress Reduction Your brain is physically shrinking right now, and most people have no idea it's happening. In this episode, you will discover the exact mechanisms behind cognitive decline, why brain fog is always treatable, and the proven strategies to grow your brain back, protect your memory, and slash your Alzheimer's risk regardless of your genetics. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Majid Fotuhi, a neuroscientist and neurologist who earned his PhD from Johns Hopkins University and his medical degree from Harvard Medical School. He currently serves as an adjunct professor at the Mind/Brain Institute at Johns Hopkins while also teaching at George Washington University and Harvard Medical School. With 37 years of experience in clinical practice, teaching, and neuroscience research, Dr. Fotuhi pioneered the Brain Fitness Program, a multidisciplinary approach to cognitive performance and brain vitality at any age that has produced measurable results documented in peer-reviewed journals. He is the author of three books including the bestselling The Invincible Brain and one of the world's leading experts on neuroplasticity, hippocampus growth, and successful aging. If anyone has earned the right to tell you your brain can get better, it is him. Dr. Fotuhi and Dave break down why Alzheimer's is not a single disease but a soup of modifiable problems, why your lab results can show "normal" while your brain is starving, and how the five pillars of brain health connect directly to longevity, mitochondria function, and human performance. They also get into the brain effects of GLP-1s, the therapeutic promise of psychedelics like psilocybin and ketamine, the role of nootropics and supplements like B12, lithium orotate, and CoQ10, and why your VO2 max may be the single most important number for brain aging. . You'll Learn: Why 97% of Alzheimer's cases involve multiple modifiable causes and what to do about each one How to physically grow your hippocampus through exercise, meditation, and nutrition Why "normal" lab ranges are actively harming millions of people and what optimal actually looks like The 7 everyday things that are shrinking your brain right now How stress, loneliness, and isolation cause measurable brain atrophy Which supplements including B12, lithium orotate, CoQ10, and nootropics support long-term brain health Why VO2 max predicts brain aging better than almost any other marker What psychedelics like psilocybin and ketamine actually do to your brain according to a Johns Hopkins neurologist How the APOE4 gene affects Alzheimer's risk and why exercise can erase that risk entirely Why mitochondria health is the foundation of both brain function and longevity Thank you to our sponsors! - Viome | Check it out at viome.com and use code 10DAVE for 10% off.
