Holiday parties make you want to hide behind the cheese tray. Gift-giving season makes your budget cry. This episode is your survival guide for both. Joe Saul-Sehy, OG, and Neighbor Doug welcome Pulitzer Prize-winning author Charles Duhigg to turn holiday small talk from awkward endurance test into something you might actually enjoy. Whether you're facing the office party, a family gathering with that cousin who won't shut up about crypto, or the neighborhood potluck where you know exactly three people, Charles reveals how to walk into any room with confidence, even if you're an introvert who'd rather be home watching movies. The secret? Super communicators aren't the loudest people in the room. They're the ones asking better questions, reading the conversation correctly, and making others feel heard. Charles breaks down the skills that turn painful small talk into genuine connection, and why introverts actually have hidden advantages at holiday gatherings (yes, really). Then the crew tackles the other holiday stressor of gift-giving that doesn't demolish your December budget. Joe, OG, and Doug explore the rising trend of secondhand gifting. It's not just about saving money (though your wallet will thank you). It can be more meaningful, more creative, and kinder to both your finances and the planet. From thrifted treasures to thoughtful "found" gems, they share how to give smarter instead of just spending more. Plus, Doug's toilet paper trivia arrives right on schedule (because what's a holiday episode without something unexpected?), along with stories about neighbors behaving badly and a brief tour through apps you forgot you're still paying for. What You'll Walk Away With: • Charles Duhigg's framework for turning small talk into actual connection without feeling fake • Why introverts have secret advantages at holiday parties and how to use them • Smart, budget-friendly gifting strategies that feel thoughtful rather than last-minute or cheap • The case for secondhand gifts and how to do it in a way that feels special • How to avoid blowing your holiday budget without looking (or feeling) stingy • Creative ways to personalize gifts without overspending or resorting to gift cards • Why communication skills affect both your happiness and your financial decisions This Episode Is For You If: • Holiday small talk feels like torture and you'd rather shovel snow • You want to give meaningful gifts but refuse to wreck your January budget doing it • You're an introvert dreading the season of forced social interaction • You're tired of generic gift guides telling you to "just spend less" without actual ideas • You believe better conversations and smarter spending are both learnable skills Before You Hit Play, Ask Yourself: What's the most meaningful non-new gift you've ever given or received? Think about why it mattered. That's the kind of gifting Charles and the crew are talking about. Drop your story in the comments because we're building the anti-Amazon holiday gift playbook together.

Join Andrea Samadi as she reviews Dr. Shane Creado's insights on why sleep is a core pillar of brain health, how chronic sleep deprivation harms reaction time, inflammation, pain perception, and why children pay the highest price. Learn practical sleep strategies—consistent schedules, light management, wind-down routines—and how the Silva Method's mind-training can deepen restorative sleep for athletes, high performers, and families. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. This week, we move onto PART 2 of our review of EP 72[i] with Shane Creado, MD and his book Peak Sleep Performance for Athletes recorded back in July of 2020. In PART 1[ii], we covered: How strategic napping, morning brain habits, and even the Silva Method all work together to reset your brain, boost performance, and transform your health from the inside out. Today, PART 2 we will continue with our review, diving a bit deeper into sleep deprivation and its impact of performance (whether you are an athlete, or just someone looking to improve productivity). PART 3, next week, we will go a bit deeper into the impacts of concussions and brain injuries on our sleep and performance. Just a reminder: Dr. Creado is a double board-certified sleep medicine doctor and psychiatrist who practices functional sleep medicine, integrative psychiatry, and sports psychiatry. He brings all of these specialties together to uncover the underlying factors that sabotage our sleep and then treats them comprehensively, helping people to achieve their health and performance goals with sleep at the forefront As we work through our reviews, we will spend a considerable amount of time on this important health staple that's scientifically proven to boost our physical and mental health. For today's EP 379, and PART 2 of our review of our 2020 interview with Dr. Shane Creado, we will cover: ✔ Sleep as a core pillar of health according to Dr. Shane Creado, author of Peak Sleep Performance for Athletes. ✔ Sleep deprivation is a national crisis and kid's pay the highest price. ✔ 7 Well-Known Tips for Improving Sleep ✔ Applying the Silva Method to Reset and Improve Our Sleep ✔ Important sleep tips for athletes and high performers Let's go back to 2020 and revisit what Dr. Creado had to say about sleep. CLIP 1 — Why Sleep Is Non-Negotiable for Brain Health Short Explanation: In Clip 1, Dr. Shane Creado explains that sleep is a foundational pillar of brain health, equal in importance to exercise and nutrition. He emphasizes that without optimizing sleep, it is impossible to truly optimize learning, emotional regulation, focus, or performance. Dr. Creado highlights that chronic sleep deprivation is widespread in the U.S., often unnoticed, and especially damaging for children—where lack of deep sleep suppresses growth hormone, increases obesity risk, and raises the likelihood of developing mental-health challenges later in life. His message is clear: when sleep improves, the entire “fabric” of life and health begins to change. VIDEO 1 – Click Here to Watch In our next video clip from Dr. Creado, I ask him to dive deeper into optimizing our brain health with a quote from his book that reads “your brain health and sports performance cannot be optimized unless your sleep is optimized. And once this is achieved your quality of life will skyrocket. When you sleep well, the fabric of your life will change. And when this happens, it will have a ripple effect.” This sounds like a simple concept, but for those of us who have been working on improving this pillar, we know it's one of those concepts that easier said, than done. Let's hear Dr. Creado's thoughts on my question- And Dr. Creado replied that “sleep is one of the pillars of brain health along with exercise and nutrition. And we need to make sure we're getting the right amount of sleep. Most adults and most teenagers don't know about this but a vast majority, 70 million Americans suffer from a sleep problem. And way more than those suffer from sleep deprivation, chronic sleep deprivation. If a child is deprived of sleep, their growth hormone levels will be suppressed because deep sleep is where growth hormone levels peak, so basically you are going to be stunting your growth. Over 80% of kids who are sleep deprived go on to develop obesity. There's a huge overlap between kids who are chronically sleep deprived who manifest mental health conditions later in life.”

EU Integration as Deeper Western Engagement Than NATO — Anatol Lieven — Lieven argues that European Union membership offers Ukraine more comprehensive integration into Western institutional and economic structures than NATO alliance membership alone, though EU accession requires massive institutional economic reforms and governance restructuring. Lieven documents that Russia strategically demands that Ukraine conduct new democratic elections to validate peace settlements and ensure regime commitment to negotiated agreements. Lieven notes the strategic paradox that the United States conspicuously avoids pushing for electoral validation that could provide democratic legitimacy to negotiated territorial compromises. 1936 MUNICH
Here's the problem with most frugality advice: it makes you feel like a monk who's taken a vow of joylessness. Joe Saul-Sehy and Neighbor Doug gather the roundtable crew—Paula Pant (Afford Anything), Jesse Cramer (Personal Finance for Long-Term Investors), and Andy Hill (Marriage, Kids, and Money)—to prove that frugality isn't about deprivation. It's about designing a life that feels good and costs less. The conversation gets real fast: what's the difference between thoughtful frugality and soul-crushing penny-pinching? How do you cut spending without cutting joy? And why do some people thrive on frugal challenges while others just end up resentful and burnt out? The crew shares their own tactics, from "shopping your fridge" (a shockingly high-ROI habit most people ignore) to the power of frugal sprints instead of permanent deprivation mode. They break down how to align your spending with your actual values instead of society's expectations, why raising income often beats shaving another $3 off your grocery bill, and how to turn frugality into something your kids actually want to participate in (no guilt trips required). You'll also hear about the expenses each of them refuses to cut no matter how frugal they get, because smart money management isn't about eliminating everything; it's about keeping what matters and ditching what doesn't. Plus: stories about mystery freezer leftovers, subscription fees that sneak in like cat burglars, and Doug's perspective on... well, whatever Doug decides matters that day. What You'll Walk Away With: • The difference between frugality that improves your life and penny-pinching that just makes you miserable • Why "shopping your fridge" might be the highest-return grocery habit you'll ever adopt • How to design spending around your actual values instead of just cutting blindly • The power of "frugal sprints"—short-term challenges that work without long-term burnout • How to involve your kids in frugal habits without making them feel deprived • Why focusing on raising income often matters more than obsessing over tiny budget cuts • Which expenses the pros refuse to cut—and why knowing your "worth it" list matters This Episode Is For You If: • You want to save money but refuse to live like you're broke when you're not • Traditional frugality advice makes you feel guilty about things that actually bring you joy • You're trying to cut spending but can't figure out where to start without feeling deprived • You want to model smart money habits for your kids without making them fear spending • You're tired of finance advice that assumes everyone should want the same lifestyle Before You Hit Play, Think About This: What's the one expense you refuse to cut, no matter how frugal you get? And what does that tell you about what actually matters to you? Drop your answer in the comments—we want to know what's on everyone's "worth it" list.

AI agents can already write code, build websites, and manage workflows ... but they still can't pay for anything on their own. That bottleneck is about to disappear.In this episode of TechFirst with John Koetsier, we sit down with Jim Nguyen, former PayPal exec and cofounder/CEO of InFlow, a new AI-native payments platform launching from stealth. InFlow wants to give AI agents the ability to onboard, pay, and get paid inside the flow of work, without redirects, forms, or a human typing in credit card numbers.We talk about: • Why payments — not intelligence — are the missing link for AI agents • How agents become a new kind of customer • What guardrails and policies keep agents from spending all your money • Why enterprises will need HR for agents, budgets for agents, and compliance systems for agents • The future of agent marketplaces, headless ecommerce, and machine-speed commerce • How InFlow plans to become the PayPal of agentic systemsIf AI agents eventually hire, fire, transact, and manage entire workflows, someone has to give them wallets. This episode explores who does it, how it works, and what it means for the economy.

According to research by Stanford Professor Bob Sutton, innovative businesses need to generate about 4,000 ideas to come up with two or three really good ones. Think about that. 4,000 ideas. What does that mean for our students? In their busy whirlwind days, they're likely to opt for their first or second idea on any given assignment. A thesis pops into their head? They'll probably hit the ground running with it so they can get their paper done. They think of a project concept for genius hour? Boom. They jump on board. In an era of busy busy and test prep, brainstorming often gets shortchanged. But what if that means students are spending hours, days, even weeks on ideas that don't deserve their time? Ideas they would have quickly surpassed with a few more minutes of thinking, and a quick feedback session with a partner? Today on the pod, let's talk about how can we build a better brainstorming engine into our projects, paper processes, and units. We're going to take a peek at two quick case studies today - one in a classroom full of students just getting started on a podcast project, and another from my experience working on a concept for PD.

The average person will spend roughly a third of their life asleep, yet the importance of sleep is often overlooked. Sleep affects how we learn, work and maintain relationships, and poor sleep has been linked to a range of physical and mental health challenges. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about one in three adults in the U.S. doesn't get enough sleep on a regular basis, and experts attribute this to both lifestyle pressures and the growing presence of technology. At the same time, trends related to sleep and rest are growing in popularity on social media. On TikTok, some users view sleep as a time to allow skin and hair products to work overnight, a trend called the "morning shed." There's also "bed rotting," where people spend long stretches in bed scrolling online or watching tv. And sleep supplements like melatonin gummies are growing in popularity, as are "at-home" sleep remedies. Are these trends helpful or harmful to our sleep? We'll explore this question and more.

“The main thing God gets out of your life is not the achievements you accomplish. It is the person you become. Spiritual transformation is not about behavior modification; it is about allowing the life of Jesus to permeate our whole being. This is a process that is slow, steady, and deeply relational. We become the kind of people who can naturally and easily do what Jesus would do, because His life has formed our life from the inside out.” — Dallas WillardFriends,We'd love for you to join us for the final episode in this three-part series. In this conversation, we take a hopeful look at what the Styles of Relating can become as we grow in maturity—as fear and shame loosen their grip, and as trust, courage, and love begin to shape our reactions more than our old habits do.Our hope is that you'll find encouragement for your own relationships and a renewed sense that change, even slow change, is possible.We're grateful to walk this road with you—toward deeper wholeness, steadier love, and a growing belonging in God's Kingdom and Family.Please note there is a COMPANION PDF for this episode that includes deeper reflection questions for the Styles of Relating. You can find it HERE.It's all been prologue. The best is yet to come.For the Kingdom,Morgan & Cherie

Sis, this episode is a transparent moment. I'm sharing why I'm taking a God-led break from the podcast this December; not out of exhaustion, but out of obedience. In a world that glorifies constant hustle, I'm choosing to honor God's voice over society's expectations. If you've been feeling stretched, overwhelmed, or sensing God calling you to slow down, this episode will speak straight to your heart.✨ This Episode Is For You If…You've been feeling stretched thinYou know God is whispering “rest,” but you've been ignoring itYou struggle with slowing down because you don't want to disappoint anyoneYou're craving clarity, peace, and spiritual alignmentYou want to learn how to honor your season without guilt

Music products are some of the most innovative and frustrating tools in any industry.

Glenn starts the show by being open about one of America's biggest problems: unchecked immigration of people with ideologies that are the polar opposite of what America stands for. Glenn lays out the principles that we need to follow to fix our immigration issue. Why is it controversial to say that illegal immigrants who commit crimes shouldn't be here? Glenn's chief researcher, Jason Buttrill, joins to discuss what is going on between the U.S. and Venezuela. Are we close to an actual war with Venezuela? Glenn and Jason also discuss the Left's ongoing push for the military to defy the president's orders. Glenn goes through the various things one American dollar could buy throughout history. Where one dollar used to buy 10 rolls of toilet paper, now it can only buy one bag of off-brand gummy worms. Country music artist John Rich joins to discuss America's worsening child trafficking epidemic. Journalist Alex Newman joins to share what was revealed about climate change during last month's U.N. COP30 climate summit. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jonathon’s 3 Golden Keys for Relationship Success In today’s world, women are able to take care of themselves financially. Gone are the days of the 1950s when women couldn’t buy their own home or get a credit card in their own name. With this empowerment, it’s no surprise that women are also more vocal about what they want in a relationship. Casual sex is great if that’s what both adults want. But long term relationships take more time to cultivate and these keys will help you build a strong foundation. Let’s have a DEEPER conversation about why it’s important to know what type of relationship you want and why there’s no harm in planning a future together.

Here's a secret: some of the best financial education doesn't come from books or podcasts. It comes from a board game box. Joe Saul-Sehy welcomes Kylie Prymus, board game expert and owner of Pittsburgh's award-winning store Games Unlimited, for a conversation about the games that sneak money lessons into brilliant gameplay. These aren't boring "educational games" that make kids groan—they're genuinely fun strategy games that happen to teach supply and demand, resource management, risk assessment, and long-term planning better than most finance courses. Kylie walks through his top picks for economic games that'll make you (and your kids, and yes, your brother-in-law) think differently about money. From deck-builders like Dominion that teach portfolio diversification to Food Chain Magnate (basically an MBA in a box, but way more entertaining), these games turn financial concepts into actual decisions with consequences you can see play out in real time. But this isn't just about learning—it's about leveling up your holiday gatherings. Kylie shares his favorite cozy games for the season, from the absurdly cute cat-themed strategy game Boop to party games like Monikers that even Uncle Larry can't ruin. Whether you need something cooperative to bring the family together or competitive enough to settle old scores, this episode has you covered. Plus: you'll hear why game stores like Games Unlimited curate experiences (not just inventory), and how the right game can turn a tense holiday gathering into something people actually want to repeat. What You'll Walk Away With: • The board games that teach money concepts like budgeting, income streams, and resource management without feeling like homework • Why Dominion, Food Chain Magnate, and other economic games are secretly brilliant financial teachers • Kylie's top holiday game picks—from cozy strategy games to party games that work for any crowd • How game mechanics like deck-building and resource trading translate directly to real-world money decisions • What to look for when choosing games that work for both newbies and strategy enthusiasts • Why games teach financial lessons better than lectures—and how to use that with kids (or adults who need a refresh) • The surprising ways marketing, scarcity, and community building show up in tabletop games This Episode Is For You If: • You want to teach your kids about money in a way that doesn't feel like a lecture • You're looking for games that are actually fun but happen to build financial thinking • Your family game nights need an upgrade beyond Monopoly arguments • You're curious about board games but don't know where to start • You believe the best learning happens when you're having too much fun to notice you're learning What's Your Money Game? Drop your answer in the comments: What board game taught you a real money lesson, even if it wasn't trying to? Or if your financial personality were a board game, which one would it be? The basement wants to know—and we're always looking for new game recommendations.
