Leadership isn't about position, title, or authority—it's about who you are on the inside and how you show up every day for the people who depend on you. In this episode, I sit down with Brent Pohlman, bestselling author of Leaders Look Within and the upcoming book Leading with Zest, for a powerful conversation about values-based leadership, faith, health, and having the courage to lead from the heart. Brent shares lessons from 31 years of marriage, raising a faith-centered family, and building a thriving workplace culture rooted in people-first leadership. We dive into why leaders must define a strong "why," how physical health fuels emotional and relational leadership, and how to have hard, triggering conversations without destroying morale—at work or at home. If you're a husband, father, or man who wants to lead with clarity, conviction, and integrity, this episode will challenge you in the best way.

You must know your values, faith, and motivations before you can lead others well. A strong "why" stabilizes leadership. Without it, leaders become reactive and inconsistent. Physical health fuels leadership presence. Energy, discipline, and consistency matter in how you show up. Coaching builds leaders; training builds skills. Growth happens through direct, caring conversations. People-first leadership creates thriving cultures—at work, at home, and in communities.

Today's guest is Hayden Mitchell, Ph.D. Hayden is a sports performance coach, educator, and researcher specializing in movement ecology and pedagogy, helping coaches design environments that support learning, resilience, self-actualization, and sustainable athletic performance through play and exploration. There is a great deal of conversation in sports performance around methods, including exercises, drills, systems, and models, but far less attention is given to coaching itself. Coaching methodology quietly shapes how athletes experience training, how they relate to challenge and failure, and ultimately how fully they are able to express themselves in performance. On the show today, Hayden speaks about exploring how coaching and physical education shape not just performance, but the whole human being. Hayden shares his path through sport, teaching, and doctoral work, including how life experiences changed his approach to leadership, control, and play. Together they discuss movement ecology, value orientations in coaching, such as mastery, learning process, self-actualization, social responsibility, and ecological integration, and why environment often matters as much as programming. The conversation highlights rhythm, joy, and exploration, along with practical ways coaches can use restraint, better questions, and playful constraints to help athletes own their development.

Early coaching growth often comes from trying ideas, observing outcomes, and refining approaches. Allow room for trial and error in training rather than locking into rigid systems too early. Encourage athletes to feel and explore movement solutions instead of chasing perfect reps. Reflection after sessions helps clarify what actually transferred versus what just looked good. 13:55 – Movement quality creates the foundation for sustainable performance. Chasing outputs too early can hide inefficient movement strategies. Build positions, shapes, and rhythm before emphasizing max speed or max load. Use submaximal work to groove coordination and reduce compensation patterns. Improved movement quality often raises outputs without directly training them. 21:18 – Constraints guide learning better than constant verbal correction. Design drills that naturally guide athletes toward desired solutions. Reduce cue overload by letting the task do the teaching. Constraints promote adaptability instead of dependency on coaching feedback. This approach scales well in team settings with limited coaching bandwidth. 30:07 – Strength training should support movement, not replace it. Choose lifts that reinforce postures and force directions seen in sport. Avoid chasing strength numbers that disrupt rhythm or coordination. Use strength work to enhance confidence and robustness, not fatigue accumulation. Strong athletes still need to move well under dynamic conditions. 39:50 – Variability is a key driver of resilience. Expose athletes to multiple movement patterns and speeds. Avoid over standardizing drills to the point of robotic execution. Small variations build adaptability without sacrificing intent. Resilient athletes tolerate change better during competition. 48:26 – Youth athletes need exposure, not specialization. Prioritize broad skill development over early performance metrics. Multiple sports and movement environments improve long term ceilings. Avoid labeling young athletes too early based on temporary traits. Early diversity reduces burnout and overuse issues. 57:41 – Decision-making matters when athletes are tired. Fatigue reveals movement habits and decision quality. Train cognition alongside physical outputs when appropriate. Simple competitive games expose real world decision challenges. Performance under fatigue reflects true readiness. 1:06:10 – Simple programs executed well outperform complex plans done poorly. Clarity improves athlete buy in and consistency. Fewer exercises done with intent beat bloated sessions. Complexity should serve adaptation, not ego. Great programs are easy to repeat and sustain. 1:14:22 – Long term development requires patience and perspective. Short term gains should not compromise future potential. Progress is rarely linear, especially in young athletes. Coaching success is measured in years, not weeks. Build athletes you would want to train again in five years. Quotes from Hayden “Good movement solves a lot of problems before strength ever enters the conversation.” “When you design the environment well, you do not need to talk nearly as much.” “Outputs are easy to measure, but they are not always the most important thing.” “Variability is not chaos. It is preparation.” “Athletes who only know one solution struggle when conditions change.” “Young athletes do not need more specialization, they need more experiences.” “Strength should support expression, not restrict it.” “Simple does not mean easy. It means intentional.” “Fatigue exposes habits, not flaws.” “The goal is not just better athletes, but athletes who last.” About Hayden Mitchell Hayden Mitchell, PhD is a sports performance coach, educator, and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of movement ecology, pedagogy, and human development.

In Session 320, I sit down with Landon Cowan and Tiffany Kodak to talk about an area of behavior analysis that doesn't get nearly enough attention: professional (or "soft") skills. We spend a lot of time in our field teaching and refining technical, clinical, or "hard" skills—and for good reason. But far less time is devoted to the interpersonal, communication, and problem-solving skills that ultimately determine how effective we are as clinicians, supervisors, and collaborators. In this conversation, Landon and Tiffany share their research aimed at identifying, defining, and measuring these professional skills, along with some eye-opening findings about where skill gaps exist.

The Present Day Wise Woman - Healthy Life Hacks With Jennifer Jefferies
Women don't eat poorly because they lack discipline. They eat poorly because they're exhausted, overwhelmed, hormonally ambushed, and carrying everyone else's load. When you're wired and tired, hitting the 3pm crash, or fried at the end of the day, biology takes over, not willpower.This episode is your no-BS map to those vulnerability windows and how to stop getting hijacked by cravings, stress, and decision fatigue. If you're done feeling like food is running the show, this is your wake-up call.Reasons Why Women Eat Poorly @ 0:01Women often eat poorly not due to lack of discipline, but because they are tired, overwhelmed, hormonally imbalanced, and prioritising the needs of others over their own. These biological and emotional vulnerabilities lead to cravings for quick, unhealthy foods that provide a temporary sense of relief.Key Vulnerability Windows @ 2:27The main times when women are most vulnerable to making poor food choices are:When they are wired and tired, with amplified cravings and disrupted hunger hormones.The 3pm crash, when cortisol dips and the body craves sugary or carb-heavy foods.End-of-day decision fatigue, when the brain is fatigued and defaults to the easiest, often unhealthy, options.Strategies for Prevention @ 4:37To proactively address these vulnerability windows, Jennifer recommends:Establishing a consistent bedtime routine.Eating protein-rich meals and snacks to stabilise blood sugar.Planning ahead and having healthy options readily available.Developing non-food coping mechanisms for emotional triggers like stress and boredom.Hormonal Impacts @ 8:30Hormonal changes during perimenopause, menopause, and beyond can significantly impact appetite, cravings, and the body's ability to regulate blood sugar. Consistent protein intake, adaptogen herbs, and honouring one's hormonal cycle are key to navigating these shifts.Recap and Key Takeaways @ 11:56In summary, poor eating habits often stem from biological and emotional vulnerabilities, not lack of discipline. By understanding these windows of vulnerability and proactively addressing them through prevention strategies, women can make sustainable improvements to their nutrition and overall wellbeing.LINKS: Feel like crap lately?

In this episode, host Mike Palmer welcomes back Dr. Eddie Watson to discuss the rapidly evolving landscape of AI in higher education. Following the release of the second edition of his book, Teaching with AI: A Practical Guide to a New Era of Human Learning, Eddie shares insights from working with nearly 200 campus teams on transitioning from AI-resistant assignments to AI-integrated pedagogy. Here's the link to Eddie's first appearance. Key Takeaways: Beyond Academic Integrity: While cheating remains a concern, the conversation is shifting toward AI literacy as an essential learning outcome to prepare students for an AI-integrated workforce. The "Calculus" of Cheating: In high-stakes environments, students often feel a competitive disadvantage if they don't use AI. Pedagogical Transparency: If faculty ban AI for specific assignments, they must explain the "why" (e.g., building foundational skills) to encourage student compliance Backward Design: Eddie advocates for starting with the desired learning outcome and engineering assignments and instruction from there. Learning to Write vs. Writing to Learn: AI's role should differ based on whether the goal is mastering writing mechanics or using writing to process course content. Durable Skills: While technical skills like prompt engineering may change quickly, mindsets like metacognition and critical thinking remain essential. "Ground Truth" Bots: Using tools like NotebookLM or Small Language Models (SLMs) allows students to interrogate specific, vetted data sets like OER textbooks. Efficiency vs Engagement: The episode concludes with a look at the "Efficiency vs. Engagement" binary. While institutions may use AI to automate grading and increase class sizes, the real opportunity lies in reinvesting saved time into "signature pedagogies"—mentoring and fostering a sense of student belonging, which are the greatest predictors of student success. Quotes: "The one who does the work is the one who does the learning.

We made it to Episode 200, and this milestone edition of The ASHHRA Podcast could not be more timely.Kicking off 2026, co-hosts Bo Brabo and Luke Carignan are joined by Jeremy Sadlier for a wide-ranging Monday News Drop that examines the forces reshaping healthcare HR, workforce strategy, and hospital operations right now—and what leaders must prepare for next.What's Inside Episode 200:Workforce Shortages Are Structural, Not Cyclical The conversation opens with a hard truth: healthcare workforce shortages are no longer temporary. Leaders must move beyond short-term hiring fixes and focus on long-term workforce redesign, redeployment, and internal talent mobility.Burnout Is an Organizational Risk Burnout is no longer framed as an individual resilience issue. The team discusses why burnout is increasingly viewed as a system failure—one that impacts safety, engagement, retention, and financial performance across health systems.Upskilling Is the New Retention Strategy Degree pathways, certifications, and employer-funded education are emerging as the most powerful retention tools. Developing internal talent is no longer optional—it's essential to sustainability.AI in Healthcare HR Is Moving Faster Than Governance From recruiting and scheduling to workforce analytics and productivity modeling, AI adoption is accelerating.

David Dodd, CEO of GeoVax, highlights the need for next-generation vaccines, specifically multi-antigen and T cell-focused technologies, to provide better protection for immunocompromised populations. Their pipeline includes a COVID-19 vaccine candidate, an Mpox/Smallpox vaccine, and a gene therapy for solid tumors. A priority for GeoVax is to develop new manufacturing processes to significantly accelerate vaccine production, increase yield, and reduce costs. David explains, "Multi-antigen vaccines become critically important, especially for populations for whom the existing approach in vaccines, meaning single-antigen vaccines or antibody-focused or antibody-only vaccines, is inadequate. And to clarify that, there are approximately 40 million adults in the United States, about 10 times that number worldwide, who suffer from various medical conditions, such as blood cancers. They may have renal disease, diabetes, or be HIV positive. They may also have weakened immune systems, they could have multiple sclerosis or lupus. So there are a host of medical conditions that the result is they inhibit or they deplete an individual's immune system from mounting an adequate antibody response. And keep in mind, the antibody system is that first line of defense when an infectious threat occurs. And that's sort of like the frontline soldiers. They throw up a protective guard to respond to that." "That means for those individuals, what we need to do is also address this, as we develop vaccines, and some technologies allow you to do this. The majority of vaccine platforms do not, unfortunately. And that is to also induce a very strong cellular immunity or T cells. And this becomes critically important because T cells are what clear a virus from the body. It's also what drives what is known as memory, and also gives breadth or robustness of protection. So it becomes critically important that if one has the opportunity because of their technology or the platform they're utilizing to enlist and engage both the antibody as well as the cellular side, then one can generally develop a much more robust protective immune response that will reduce the risk of severe infection, hospitalization, and the risk of death against certain infections." #GeoVax #Biotech #Vaccines #PublicHealth #Healthcare #COVID19 #LifeSciences #Biotechnology #Mpox #GlobalHealth geovax.com Download the transcript here

We're joined by Jamaal Ghauri, a trader and fund manager who began his journey unusually early — first exposed to crypto markets as a teenager during Bitcoin's early adoption phase, before moving into stocks and eventually options. Jamal walks through the full arc of his development as a trader: early overconfidence, aggressive options bets, a rapid run-up followed by a major drawdown, and the hard lessons that ultimately forced him to rethink risk, position sizing, and process. From there, he explains how he rebuilt by focusing on more structured setups, volatility awareness, and consistency over time. We discuss the evolution of his core strategies — including swing trades, breakout-style setups, and short-term options structures — and how those approaches are now applied within a multi-strategy fund he launched in 2025. Jamal also shares how he thinks about trade distribution, win rates versus loss severity, and why discipline and risk management ultimately mattered more than finding the “perfect” setup. As always, this conversation is about understanding how a trader thinks, how strategies evolve over time, and how real-world risk shows up differently than it does on paper.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Special War Brief edition of The Wright Report, Bryan delivers an exclusive breakdown of the stunning U.S. operation that captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, examines the legal and strategic fallout of the mission, and warns that while the snatch was flawless, what comes next may be far more dangerous. Operation Absolute Resolve Captures Maduro: U.S. Special Forces and the CIA executed a high-risk overnight raid in Caracas, capturing Nicolás Maduro and his wife from a fortified military base and flying them to New York to face federal drug trafficking charges. The operation involved more than 150 U.S. aircraft, cyber tools that disabled air defenses and electricity, and months of CIA recruitment inside Maduro's inner circle. One U.S. helicopter took fire and one soldier was lightly injured, but the mission succeeded without American fatalities. Legal Gray Zone and Regime Change Risks: Bryan explains the central legal question now facing the Trump administration. If the operation is treated strictly as a law enforcement action, it likely falls within presidential authority. But Trump's own comments about controlling Venezuelan oil, gold, and governance blur that line and raise questions about whether this was de facto regime change, which could require congressional approval. The uncertainty is already complicating Maduro's prosecution and U.S. credibility abroad. Who Runs Venezuela Now: Despite Maduro's removal, his vice president Delcy Rodríguez remains in power and is openly defying Washington, claiming Maduro is still the legitimate leader. Bryan warns that the United States may be attempting a "puppet strategy" rather than a clean transition, relying on hardline Marxists who still control militias, gangs, and narco networks like Tren de Aragua. This creates a volatile mix of criminal, ideological, and guerrilla threats inside a country larger than Texas. Global Shockwaves and Warnings: China reacted with fury and signaled that America's action could justify similar operations against Taiwan. Democrats condemned the raid as unlawful despite years of calling for Maduro's removal. Trump and Secretary Rubio warned that Cuba, Colombia, Mexico, and even Greenland should take note. Bryan cautions that while the operation showcased American intelligence and military excellence, it also exposed U.S. vulnerabilities to retaliation through minerals, sabotage networks, and proxy violence at home. Best Case vs. Worst Case: Best case, the U.S. secures energy access, stabilizes Venezuela, and sends millions of migrants home. Worst case, Venezuela descends into chaos, guerrilla warfare erupts, Tren de Aragua launches attacks inside the United States, and China or Russia escalate through economic or covert retaliation. Bryan concludes that capturing Maduro may prove to be the easiest part of a long and dangerous chapter now unfolding. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Operation Absolute Resolve Maduro capture, CIA Special Forces Caracas raid, Maduro drug trafficking SDNY, Trump Venezuela oil gold control, Delcy Rodríguez power struggle, Tren de Aragua retaliation risk, China Taiwan snatch precedent, Cuba Colombia Mexico warnings, regime change legal authority, Venezuela best case worst case scenario

https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bizpod/360.107-Habits-1.mp3 Welcome back to the Business English Skills 360 podcast as we look at how to develop good habits for success at work. The start of a new year feels like the right time to make big resolutions, or promises to yourself. You're going to call people back promptly. You're going to keep a tidy desktop. You're going to stop reading new emails as soon as they come in. You're going to manage your time better. It sure feels great to make these resolutions. But what doesn't feel great is the realization in February that you haven't made good on any of your promises. In most cases, the problem is that people intuitively believe that setting a goal or making a resolution is enough. But it's not. Setting a goal without looking at the systems that support specific habits or behaviors is useless. Intention isn't enough. You need to break down what happens around habits, both good and bad, and create the right conditions for the right behaviors.

Those standing up to climate and environmental injustice face challenges they weren't seeing a year ago. But Gloria Walton, head of The Solutions Project, sees a bigger picture: “ The reality is that the same systems that created the climate crisis, whether that's colonialism, white supremacy, racism, and the patriarchy, those are the same ones that have harmed communities of color for generations,” she says. Her organization has channeled tens of millions of philanthropic dollars to grassroots efforts that build community resilience. Black Girl Environmentalist founder Wawa Gatheru is helping more Black girls, women, and gender-expansive people enter and lead in the climate space. She says the climate fight has shifted from education to action, with over 70% of Americans now understanding that climate change is real. So what should this 'action phase' look like?

In every culture, there's a sense of how danger brings out the best in us when it comes to surrendering to God. For instance, I don't know what World War, you'd have to ask my old friend chat GPT, who really likes me, when this phrase became prevalent, it says, "there are no atheists in foxholes." A foxhole is a military term. It means, when you're in the infantry on the battlefield and you're being shot at, you have to dig really quickly a divot in the ground so you can be below ground level, so you don't get hit by mortar shrapnel or bullets. In such a precarious situation, people, other humans, have noted that that's when you start praying. "If you get me out of this one, I'll be good for the rest of my life," or whatever the soldier might be praying for at that time. So your Question is, how can we stay conscious of Kṛṣṇa all the time, mainly by keeping the transcendental vibration going. It's like tonight we have a medley of bhajana, chanting a chapter and reading. Developing a taste for that is very helpful. Have your bhajana together. I like to say, 'get your bhajana on'. Make sure that you have a bhajana. Because if you don't have a bhajana, then you're going to have scrolling, randomness. Scrolling just means random observation of the of the world. But when you're very deliberate and keep the transcendental vibration going, and you develop a repertoire where you can have variety, and you keep hearing and chanting and a repertoire of service also, then you'll notice that you're happy because whatever situation you're in, you're thinking of Kṛṣṇa. That's the idea of keeping the transcendental vibration going. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #globalyouthretreat #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

THE CHUTE SHOW AND THE RACE FOR COMMERCIAL CREW Colleague Eric Berger. SpaceX competed with Boeing to restore NASA's ability to launch astronauts, a program politically legitimized by Boeing's participation. Developing the Crew Dragon required rigorous testing, particularly by a team nicknamed the "Chute Show" who tested parachutes in the desert. While Boeing and SpaceX faced similar challenges, SpaceX optimized its Falcon 9 Block 5 for rapid reuse, hardening parts based on lessons from previous flights. Despite the inherent risks of human spaceflight, SpaceX ultimately succeeded in flying veteran astronauts to the station, maintaining reusability as a core requirement. NUMBER 7 1938
