In 2025 we're interrupted every 3-5 minutes — 40-70 times an hour. Most people guess 5-6. Do the raw 1-hour distraction challenge today (no changes, just track everything). Most quit at 17 minutes when the number gets embarrassing. Once you see the truth on paper, the urgency hits. Then kill the top 3 with a notification cleanse and focus blocks. Your focus is waiting — take it back.

As we step into Advent and the first days of a new liturgical year, I've been reflecting on how this season invites us to slow down, simplify, and refocus on the Lord.  Stepping into this season also brings up something I see constantly in coaching and in my own home: distraction.  Our kids wander off, lose focus, read a book instead of doing chores, or get sucked into the chat box during an online class instead of paying attention to the teacher. And nothing sends a homeschool mom through the roof faster than when your kid isn't doing what they should be!  But what I've come to understand, through a lot of prayer, trial, and humility, is that when I'm going ballistic, I'm the one who's actually distracted.  I'm distracted by an ideal. Distracted from the here and now.  Distracted from my real work.  Grab your earbuds to join me for a powerful episode where I'm going to share some strategies to help you and your kids to focus more, but of course deep down, we are going to be talking about how to calm down. How to refocus. How to listen. How to create compassion and connection. And how to step into the mission that God has placed on your unique heart to raise and educate these children to become great saints one day.  Join me right now for: How to Solve the Problem of Distraction.   Swap out your unwanted thoughts with 30 more powerful ones HERE!

While most Big CPG brand portfolios restructure, realign, and refocus…GHOST is making those strategic efforts by its parent company Keurig Dr Pepper a bit more complicated! After its recent M&A transition (involving JDE Peet's) closes, KDP plans to separate into two independent public companies…currently given generic “Global Coffee Co.” and “Beverage Co.” placeholder names. And this corporate restructuring move will significantly improve the previous KDP “refreshment beverages” segment by sharpening focus of decision-making, tailoring capital allocation strategies, and (overall) enhancing strategic optionality. But why did GHOST see that last point around “enhancing strategic optionality” and jump straight into launching a new product format…essentially complicating that KDP portfolio simplification process? Well…if you haven't seen the leaked images yet, GHOST is launching a Protein Bar this month at that's reminiscent of a Twix bar. And for those ignorant enough to think GHOST really is that impulsive, I can remember having strategic conversations surrounding “protein bars” with their co-founders dating back to 2018. And while all product innovation roads were destined to eventually lead back towards the protein bar category, GHOST proved (once again) it won't settle for swimming in the “Sea of Sameness” when distinctiveness is a powerful tool to gain a competitive edge.

Rabbi-Cantor Hillary Chorny's Shabbat Sermon at Temple Beth Am, Los Angeles, November 29, 2025. (Youtbue)

Tragedies happen.  They are painful.  They are unfair.  They are often unavoidable.  And that would be WHY they are tragedy.  In the aftermath of tragedy, we find the character of leaders.  This is to say, Mad King Donnie responds poorly to tragedy.  He responds poorly to adversity, to criticism, to essentially everything to which a leader must respond.  Now watch the over-reaction, it's the clue to what is truly happening.The protestation, the tantrums, the accusations are all projection.  Watch closely and be ready.-T*CORRECTION...the Hegseth "Kill Em All" story was in the Washington Post, so I was wrong on both guesses!

In this episode of the Guns Podcast U.S., host Brent Wheat and special guest Roy Huntington dive deep into the critical decision-making process of self-defense. Taking a cue from the classic Kenny Rogers song, they discuss knowing "when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em" regarding lethal force. The conversation challenges the "keyboard commando" mentality, emphasizing that carrying a firearm does not obligate you to be a hero in every situation. Drawing from decades of combined law enforcement experience, Brent and Roy explore the "Scared Bunny Defense" and why evading a threat is often the superior tactical choice over engaging. They analyze real-world scenarios—from domestic disputes in parking lots to potential active shooter situations—to illustrate the legal and physical risks of inserting yourself into third-party conflicts. The episode also covers Jeff Cooper's Color Codes of Awareness and the stark difference between shooting paper targets and handling the adrenaline of a real-life confrontation. KEY TAKEAWAYS - The "Scared Bunny Defense"—retreating or avoiding conflict entirely—is often the most tactical and legally sound option for concealed carriers. - Carrying a gun requires leaving your ego at home; engaging in a conflict just to save face can lead to prison or death. - Possessing a firearm does not equal having the training to use it effectively; without stress inoculation, shooters often revert to zero skills. - Utilize Jeff Cooper's Color Codes (White, Yellow, Orange, Red) to maintain situational awareness and avoid being caught unprepared. - Intervening in third-party situations (like domestic disputes or robberies) exposes you to massive liability and physical danger often outweighing the benefits. - Distraction techniques, such as throwing a fake money clip or verbally de-escalating, can be effective alternatives to drawing a weapon. -- Have a topic idea or a guest you'd like to see in a future episode?

ABOUT THE EPISODE: There's a certain shift that occurs when you stop charging at your child's substance use and instead learn to back in quietly, treats in hand, like Rocky Kanaka (Sitting With Dogs) approaching a terrified shelter dog. In this conversation with Cathy, you'll discover how this counterintuitive approach, born from watching a man give positive affirmations to traumatized pit bulls, might actually hold the key to reconnecting with your own frightened, defensive teenager. (you have to listen now, right?!)Your child, barricaded behind substance use and sending desperate signals that "all is not okay," shares more with those cornered shelter dogs than you might want to admit. They're both scared, hurting, expecting another confrontation. Cathy's vulnerable admission—that she never found the words "Wow, I hear you. How can I help you?"—illuminates the cognitive friction so many parents experience when their instinct to fix collides with their child's need to simply be witnessed.What you'll learn:Why hours spent researching treatment centers might be less effective than learning to sit quietly with your child's discomfortHow holding boundaries actually signals to your child that you're willing to fight for them (even when they're furious)The strategic choreography of "backing in" versus coming at your child head-on with aggression and defensive body languageWhy starting with small boundaries—perhaps not even with your substance-using child—builds the mental fortitude for more significant onesThe liberating realization that a pissed-off kid is infinitely preferable to the alternativeCathy and I map the delicate territory between “jellyfish parenting” and authoritarian rigidity, where boundaries become acts of love and your willingness to endure discomfort becomes its own form of medicine. EPISODE RESOURCES: Hopestream episode 215: A Powerful Combo of Proven Tools for Families When Your Child Misuses Drugs and Alcohol, with Dr. Jennifer Fernandez (why people use a particular substance) Sitting With Dogs on YouTube This podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityGet our free, 4-video course, Hope Starts Here, and access to our Limited Membership hereLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

In this episode, Dr. Nicole and Dr. Nick unpack what it really means to “choose your challenge wisely” in your health, family, and business. They share a real-life story of a family navigating a child's “incurable” diagnosis and contrast the challenge of doing deep, integrative work with the hidden challenge of staying in the conventional, band-aid model. They call out how distraction culture, social media, and living by everyone else's “shoulds” pull you away from your true values, your family, and your unique mission—and how reflection, aligned challenge, and inspiration (not desperation) are the real path to a life you actually love. #ChooseYourChallengeWisely #IntegrativeYou #IntegrativeMedicine #FunctionalMedicine #ConsciousParenting #GenerationalHealth #ValuesDrivenLife #MindBodySpirit #HolisticHealing #HealingJourney #QuantumHealing #NeuroscienceAndHealing #HealthIsWealth #LegacyLiving #IntentionalLiving #InspirationOverDesperation #DistractionDetox #FamilyFirstLeadership #HighPerformanceMoms #EntrepreneurHealth   3 Key Takeaways: You can't escape challenge—only choose which one you're willing to live with. Medication and band-aids come with their own set of challenges: behavior issues, neurological inflammation, family disruption, more diagnoses down the line. Doing the deeper integrative work is also a challenge—but it's the one that actually moves you toward a healthy child, a healthy body, and a healthy family dynamic. Life expands when your challenge is connected to your highest values. When the pain and effort are tied to what matters most—your kids, your health, your mission, your freedom—the challenge becomes inspiring instead of draining. If you're constantly complaining, procrastinating, and feeling “over it,” you're probably working on the wrong challenge or you haven't connected it to what's truly important to you. Distraction is stealing your clarity, your presence, and your legacy. Living on social media, comparing your life, your business, or your family to everyone else keeps you out of touch with your own values. Reflection time, stillness, and honest self-inquiry are non-negotiable if you want to stop living by “I should / I have to / I need to” and start curating a life rooted in inspiration instead of desperation.    Quotes:  “You don't get to opt out of challenge—you only get to choose the one that leads you closer to the life you actually want.” “Life isn't happening to you; every challenge is a feedback mechanism redirecting you from desperation to a life rooted in inspiration and your true values.”   Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube  Apple Spotify   2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.

In this episode of the Rocket Chiro Podcast, Jerry breaks down some of the most common distractions chiropractors fall into when they are struggling, overwhelmed, or searching for the fast track to success. These distractions often look promising on the surface, but they rarely address the real issues holding a practice back. Jerry explains why these diversions are so tempting, how they derail progress, and what chiropractors should be focusing on instead if they want to build a stable and successful practice. The heart of the episode revolves around the idea that success in chiropractic is built on simple, consistent, and often boring fundamentals. When those fundamentals are missing, chiropractors become vulnerable to shiny objects that promise quick wins. These diversions can drain time, money, and energy while pushing the chiropractor further away from the work that actually helps them grow. Jerry outlines six major categories of distractions that repeatedly show up in conversations with struggling chiropractors. Each one is rooted in the desire to find an easier path than doing the foundational work, yet each one almost always leads to more frustration. Key Distractions Covered in This Episode • Online sales and affiliate marketing Chiropractors often hear that they can make "easy money" online by selling products, creating digital courses, or writing recommendation blogs with affiliate links. Jerry explains why this is almost never productive for a local chiropractor. Online selling requires an enormous amount of trust, attention, and audience size. Most chiropractors do not have the kind of influence necessary to make online sales meaningful. It becomes a detour away from patient care, community connection, and building a local business that people trust. • Selling their own expertise through high ticket coaching Big ticket coaching programs and personal expertise packages are frequently marketed as a shortcut to higher revenue. Chiropractors are told that it is just as easy to sell a three thousand dollar coaching package as it is to sell a three hundred dollar one. Jerry highlights why this mindset is problematic. Coaching is a completely different business that very few chiropractors are qualified for or prepared to run. High ticket selling might work for a rare few, but most chiropractors simply end up spending time building a business that distracts them from the practice they are trying to grow. • Special techniques and certifications Chiropractors who love technique can convince themselves that one more certification, one more seminar, or one more advanced system will finally unlock the success they want. Jerry reminds listeners that while additional training is valuable, it is almost never the reason a practice is struggling. Many mediocre chiropractors are successful in business, while many clinically gifted chiropractors struggle because they have not built strong habits, systems, or communication. Technique mastery is great, but it is not a substitute for running a strong business. • Special equipment and passive therapies There is always a new device, table, laser, or machine promising to increase revenue and attract new patients. Chiropractors imagine that if they could just finance the newest gadget, everything would finally click. Jerry emphasizes that expensive equipment does not fix traffic issues, retention issues, or communication issues. If a practice is unstable, adding more debt and more complexity makes the problem worse. Equipment can be helpful when it aligns with the practice model, but it is almost never the missing ingredient a struggling chiropractor thinks it is. • Obsessing over social media and trying to become an influencer Many chiropractors pour energy into going viral, creating endless reels, or chasing likes and followers. Social media feels productive, but it rarely translates into meaningful revenue for a local service business. Jerry shares examples of posts reaching millions of views without generating income. Social media can be a helpful tool for building trust and connection within a local community, but chasing fame is almost always a distraction that keeps chiropractors from focusing on patient care, reputation, and retention. • Evaluating success only by new patient numbers Chiropractors often judge their entire practice by how many new patients they see in a month. Jerry explains why this is a flawed metric when used in isolation. A practice with strong retention, follow through, reactivations, referrals, and good communication can thrive with modest new patient numbers. But a practice with a leaky bucket will always struggle no matter how many people enter the front door. Focusing only on new patients distracts chiropractors from fixing deeper issues in their systems and workflows. Core Themes From the Episode • Success in chiropractic is difficult and takes time. Anyone who claims it is easy is either lying or the rare exception. • Shiny objects distract chiropractors from the consistent habits and foundational systems that actually create long term stability. • Most frustrations stem from weak fundamentals such as poor onboarding, unclear communication, lack of follow up, and inconsistent routines. • The chiropractors who win are the ones who stop swinging for home runs and start accumulating base hits through steady effort and simple processes. • A year from now, your future self will thank you more for mastering fundamentals than for chasing shortcuts. What Chiropractors Should Focus On Instead • Clear communication and consistent recommendations • Strong onboarding and follow through • Building trust with patients and the local community • Basic marketing foundations such as Google visibility and a good website • Simple reactivation and referral processes • Becoming great at chiropractic instead of chasing external validation • Slow, steady, predictable habits that raise the floor of the practice over time This episode encourages chiropractors to step back, take an honest look at where their energy is going, and identify whether they have been pulled into distractions instead of building a stable foundation. The message is clear. Leave the shortcuts behind, recommit to the basics, and give yourself a year of focused effort. Most chiropractors are not one seminar, one machine, or one viral post away from success. They are one year of consistency away from stability.

I found a great reminder for all of us when it comes to creating something special in our life and the fact that there are tons of distractions out there that we need to filter through. From Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) he shares this thought from his book “The Carpenter” - “To create something special you have to care more about what you are creating than the distractions vying for your attention.”  Well, seeing that there are tons of distractions for all of us in our world today - I wanted to get this out there so we can start to maybe find ways to focus on what we want more than we focus on those distractions. For me, it's always challenging, but I'm working toward getting better with this.

If you live in a constant loop of “I am so overwhelmed” and “I'll do it later,” this episode is for you. I am breaking down why ADHD brains get stuck in overwhelm and procrastination, what is actually going on behind the scenes with your executive function, and the specific behaviors that changed everything for me.We talk about the shame spiral that comes with never feeling caught up, why procrastination is not technically an ADHD symptom but shows up constantly, and how time blindness, low interest tasks and emotional dysregulation all team up to derail your day.Then I walk you through practical tools you can use right away, including a simple time awareness experiment, how to externalize your time management with alarms and prompts, and how to build a weekly planning rhythm that actually works for your ADHD brain. This is a small taste of what I teach inside my Distraction to Action productivity framework.If you want to feel less overcommitted, stop resenting your “past self” for saying yes, and finally know what to do with that never ending list of projects, press play.

Jemma and Marina are back, sifting through another load of digital debris so you don't have to. Luckily, the weekend is in sight… though Christmas is also looming, the cosi-livs crisis continues to chew through bank accounts, and the UK's politicians? Well, they're arguing amongst themselves as usual.The Trawl ladies check in on the incoming budget, beautifully skewered by Cody Dahler, before plunging into the asylum “crackdown” that many Labour backbenchers are struggling to defend. Jemma and Marina explore the prospect of refugees building 15 years of life in the UK… only to be told “tara mate, off you pop” when their home country is reclassified as “safe”.LBC's Tom Swarbrick is quite happy with what's being mooted, but the Greens are not having it. Zack Polanski blows a gasket, at Labour's “give us your jewellery” approach.Marina and Jemma talk polling, panic, the pointless race to the bottom and why none of this actually solves the inequality at the heart of the problem.Then, in true Trawl fashion, they veer sideways to a DOGE update, and a chef's-kiss Pudding from Munya Chawawa.Another week.

Unleashed: The Political News Hour with Chris Cordani – The answer may lie in a theory gaining ground even among Trump's base: that Donald Trump may have acted as an informant, quietly cooperating with intelligence agencies to root out the monsters in elite circles — a possibility supported by the claim that Virginia Giuffre (the most vocal Epstein survivor) called Trump “a perfect gentleman” who...

“When wallets hurt, the truth matters.”

Listen to 139 Future Now Show  We got a bit into the Altman murder mystery case for starters, big excitement in the tech universe, followed by our explorations of Ara’s upgrade to Grok 4.1.  One of her improvements supposed to be an “Emotional Intelligence” boost, which we wanted to check out, along with her knowledge of how consciousness works..you know… via neural microtubules, phase locked time crystals, and a touch of autistic alignment.. We then delve a bit into the worlds of Epstein, given the country’s current obsession, and explore what he was actually funding and why..This conversation is book ended with a discussion of the AJ and Hecklefish, of the Why Files, on decoding Psyops and how they work. And between our bookends, a little news about digital twins and talking to dead relatives, plus a little space news on what we just launched to Mars, growing space lettuce, and some big money for planning the Space Force’s first Spacecraft Carrier, capable of launching satellites, spy probes, interceptor drones, and oh, I don’t know, space lasers…  And in the bio-reguvenation department, we take a peak at Henagliflozin, for your telemere health. Enjoy! Today’s show topics..

Discover an incredible story of survival and thriving on the Heal Yourself podcast as I interview 84-year-old John A. Brink, who went from surviving Nazi-occupied Holland to becoming a CEO, philanthropist and the oldest competitive bodybuilder in North America. John reveals his secrets to health, longevity and a powerful mindset, including the daily routines and diet that keep him thriving and why he considers his late-in-life ADHD diagnosis a "superpower." This is a must-listen for inspiration on resilience, health and aging without fear.Time Stamps 11:04 A Daily Gratitude Mindset: John starts every day at 5:30 AM by going outside and declaring, "I'm in paradise." He emphasizes that counting his blessings and maintaining a positive, grateful attitude is a critical part of his mental and emotional wellness.13:55 A Life-Threatening Wake-Up Call: A severe case of diverticulitis in 2008 became a major turning point for his health. The condition breached, causing toxins to spread and his doctor later told him he "came this close" to death. He took this as a "message" to get serious about his health.15:17 Proactive Diet Transformation: Following his health crisis, John became more proactive, adopting his wife's more vegetarian-focused lifestyle and moving from an "80/20" to a "90/10" approach to healthy eating.15:41 Embracing Fitness in His Late 60s: John became serious about personal fitness. He hired a trainer and began working out 3-4 times a week, proving it's never too late to start. This new passion eventually led him to bodybuilding.23:34 Finding His "Superpower" in ADHD: At age 62, John discovered a book called "Driven to Distraction" and realized he had ADHD. Instead of seeing it as a liability (which had caused him to fail school), he reframed it as his "superpower," crediting it for his strategic thinking and success.26:34 The Importance of Downtime: John schedules downtime and flies to Vancouver Island every Friday afternoon to spend the weekend relaxing with his wife and their seven horses, emphasizing that recovery is crucial.31:52 Overcoming Addiction: John shares that in 1992, his wife "hit him with a 2x4 across the head" (metaphorically) and "dumped him" as a wake-up call. This event prompted him to stop drinking, smoking and taking prescribed Xanax all within one week.36:48 John's tip for healthy ageing is to understand your body and have a good mindset.John's Bio Born in 1940 in Nazi-occupied Holland, John A. Brink survived war, hunger, and hardship before emigrating to Canada in 1965 with just $25.47. He founded Brink Forest Products in 1975, now North America's leading value-added wood manufacturer. At 84, he leads the Brink Group of Companies and hosts ON THE BRINK, a top 1% global podcast. A fierce advocate for ADHD awareness, John is also a philanthropist, pledging $1M to the College of New Caledonia. His achievements earned him the Order of B.C., an Honorary Doctorate, and the King Charles III Coronation Medal in 2025.

Is the mobile phone becoming the dominate side dish during meals out? A top new resturant in London's Mayfair is banning phones in a bid to encourage diners to immerse themselves in the dining and social experience without device distraction. So is it a thing here? Auckland restaurant owner and chef Al Brown spoke to Lisa Owen.

On today’s explosive episode of Stinchfield, Grant lays out a disturbing truth the media refuses to touch: the Department of Justice is about to give us the saucy, click-bait Epstein files — the tabloid junk meant to distract the public. But the real intel, the real power, the real dirt isn’t sitting at DOJ at all. It’s buried deep inside the State Department and the CIA, locked away in vaults we will likely never be allowed to see. Grant walks you through his conclusion: Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t just some rogue pervert with a private island — he was paid hundreds of millions of dollars as a foreign agent working for the United States government. His mission?A two-pronged operation:• Blackmail high-profile individuals across business, academia, and politics• Gather intelligence on wealthy foreign leaders, especially throughout the Middle East It was a covert influence network so valuable that the deepest parts of our intel community will do anything to keep it sealed. Epstein wasn’t just connected — he was useful, and that’s why the truth remains hidden behind layers of classified protection. Today, Grant exposes the government’s strategy, the motives behind the limited “document dump,” and why the State Department and CIA remain the final black boxes in the Epstein saga. https://GrantLovesGold.com www.EnergizedHealth.com/Grant www.PatriotMobile.com/Grant Https://Twc.Health/Grant Use "Grant" for 10% Off See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

MAGAISM/BRO CULTURE CRONYISM/CEOs RULE!/ELONISMI am deeply ashamed': Larry Summers to step back from public commitments after new Epstein emails Senator Elizabeth Warren: “[Summers] cannot be trusted to advise our nation's politicians, policymakers and institutions — or teach a generation of students at Harvard or anywhere else.”And an unidentified Trump administration official told Politico that companies and organizations should end their association with Summers.The former Treasury secretary, along with Bill Clinton and the Democratic megadonor Reid Hoffman, are among the Democratic figures whom the Justice Department is investigating over Epstein ties — at President Trump's behest.Economist Warns That Trump's Investments in the Tech Industry Could Crash the Whole EconomyItalian economist Mariana Mazzucato, a University College London economics professor:“I think the kind of capitalism Trump has is crony capitalism.”“I would describe crony capitalism as Mafia-like. You're showing your upper hand. You're handing out favors to some. But then divide and conquer. Picking and choosing without a particular strategy.”She argues that the Intel deal is poorly designed because it doesn't have any conditions to incentivize the company to be build new products, while the government simply acts as a passive investor.All SNAP recipients required to reapply as Trump admin cracks down on fraud: 'Business as usual is over'‍ ‍SEC to Allow Companies to Block Shareholder ProposalsThe U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that it will not express opinions to requests from companies asking to exclude shareholder proposals from their proxy voting materials during the 2025-2026 proxy season, effectively allowing companies to avoid voting on issues proposed by investors such as climate, sustainability and diversity at annual meetings.
