We learn what people think are the most romantic cities in the U.S. to go on a date, and we're just glad Vegas wasn't on the list. Sarah reveals the most disturbing fact Susie says we've ever learned on the show--it's a statistic about men's underwear and we are NOT OK (and clearly, neither are men). We find out about Matt Damon's (female!) stunt double, and why she is our badass bitch of the week. We hear what the secret is to being a "supermover" in old age, and we aspire! Sarah talks about her love of Thrifty Ice Cream, and how one business owner is keeping it alive. We hear how a group of students is solving cold cases and we discuss how some relatives of criminals like Charles Manson worry the evil acts of their family member might reflect on their own characters.00:00 - Brain Candy Club and Tombstone Philosophy02:06 - Keypad Installation and Appliance Woes11:52 - Unveiling America's Top Romantic Destinations18:01 - The Disturbing Truth About Men's Underwear Habits26:49 - Meet Devin Dalton, Matt Damon's Female Stunt Double29:26 - Simple Tests to Gauge Your Functional Fitness34:14 - The Unsung Heroines of Stunt Performance41:21 - How Fast Walking Boosts Brain Health in Old Age47:02 - The Surf Shop Keeping Thrifty Ice Cream Alive51:23 - Al's Job Impact and the Joy of Fidget Toys53:36 - High School Students Reignite Unsolved Murder Investigations56:51 - Exploring the Legacy of Charles Manson's Family01:02:44 - Final Thoughts and Community Engagement Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Go to https://thrivecausemetics.com/braincandy for an exclusive offer of 20% off your first order.Visit https://www.carawayhome.com/braincandypod to take an additional 10% off your next purchase.TDM-RESERVATION: 1.

What does it take to build a national surgical education apparatus from scratch? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Ajit Sachdeva, the former Senior Vice President for Education at the American College of Surgeons—a role he held for 24 years before passing the torch in fall 2025. When Dr. Sachdeva arrived at the ACS in 2001, there was no division, no script, and almost no structure. Over the course of his tenure, he created an ecosystem that now touches surgeons at every stage of their careers, from the first year of medical school to the last year of practice.Dr. Sachdeva reflects on competence, excellence, and the value of surgical educators. He discusses the structural shifts that have shaped modern surgical training, including simulation standards, competency-based curricula, the ACS Accredited Education Institutes, and the Academy of Master Surgeon Educators. He also shares his thoughts on the challenges that remain: resource constraints, the tension between clinical productivity and educational investment, and the gap between national standard-setting and local implementation.Join hosts Pooja Varman, MD, Judith French, PhD, and Jeremy Lipman, MD, MHPE to reflect on Dr. Sachdeva's impact on surgical education.Learning ObjectivesBy the end of this episode, listeners will be able to 1.     Distinguish between competence, proficiency, expertise, and mastery in the context of surgical training and career development.2.     Identify key structural initiatives from the ACS Division of Education and describe their impact on surgical education at the national level.3.     Discuss the challenges of sustaining and funding surgical education infrastructure and articulate strategies for aligning educational goals with institutional priorities.  References1.     ACS Accredited Education Institutes: https://www.facs.org/for-medical-professionals/education/programs/accredited-education-institutes/ 2.     Dr. Ajit Sachdeva Describes a Career of Distinction in Practice and Surgical Education | ACS.

Imagine if the way we design learning could shift from just delivering content to genuinely connecting with learners on a personal level. That's the essence of our chat with Jackie Pelegrin, a passionate instructional designer who believes in the power of empathy and intention in education. Instead of merely focusing on what students need to know, Jackie encourages us to think about how we can make them feel valued and empowered. It's a thought-provoking discussion that dives into the emotional aspects of learning, and trust me, it's a game changer for anyone involved in education. Jackie takes us through her journey of writing her book, 'Designing with Love,' which is steeped in her experiences and insights from years in instructional design. She highlights various models and theories that serve as the backbone of effective curriculum development, such as the well-known ADDIE model. But what sets her apart is her advocacy for blending different instructional strategies to meet diverse learner needs. This isn't just theory—she provides practical examples of how to implement these ideas in real-world scenarios, making it accessible for educators at every level. As we wrap up, Jackie shares her thoughts on the importance of assessment and revision in curriculum design, emphasizing that education is a dynamic process that must evolve with the times. The conversation is peppered with light-hearted moments that keep things engaging while driving home the point that education should be about connection, growth, and purpose. If you're eager to rethink how you approach teaching or instructional design, this episode is packed with wisdom and warmth that'll inspire you to design learning with love.Takeaways:Transforming the way we design learning can deeply impact how people feel valued and capable.Great instruction isn't just about information; it's rooted in empathy, intention, and love.Jackie Pelegrin encourages educators to rethink learning experiences that foster genuine connections.The upcoming book, 'Designing with Love', emphasizes a human-centered approach to instructional design.Using cognitive load theory helps in creating clear, manageable learning experiences for students.Designing with intention means understanding that true learning goes beyond mere content delivery.Links referenced in this episode:designingwithloveblog.combuzzsprout.com

The Prism of America's Education with Host Karen Schoen – How do you get Americans to give up their liberty, and believe this garbage? You lie to them and manipulate their behavior. How do you do that, with such a huge population? Easy, using the lie of public safety, you can get municipalities to participate in the manipulation without them even knowing...

Teaching is about more than delivering content—it's about being present with students, noticing their needs, and working alongside colleagues to create meaningful learning experiences. In this episode, Doug Fisher shares insights into what it means to be truly present in teaching and how educators can be more intentional about the way they connect, collaborate, and respond to the people around them. From building strong relationships with students to working as a team with colleagues, this conversation highlights how teaching becomes more powerful when educators learn and grow together. Quotables "When a team feels efficient and effective, and we feel like we're making a difference together, that brings us joy.""Putting good systems in place, I think is really important.""The more time teachers spend in each others classroom, the more benefit it has academically for the outcome of students." About Doug Fisher Doug Fisher went from working at KFC and riding ambulances to pay his way through college to becoming a Professor of Education at San Diego State and writing a whole shelf of books on how learning actually happens. But here's the part that makes him different: he never left the classroom. He co-founded a school in 2007 and still teaches there today. Over the past 20 years, he has helped more than 100,000 educators improve how they teach. Through these experiences, he realized something that drives him CRAZY: education has never had more experts—and less advice that actually survives a real classroom. Because of this, teachers sit through endless PD sessions, nod along... and NOTHING changes for their students on Monday morning. So he decided to start helping educators the RIGHT way—with evidence-based practices like teacher clarity, gradual release of responsibility, and PLC+ that actually survive contact with real students.

What if the rewards you're using to motivate your teen are actually making them less motivated? In this episode of Power Your Parenting: Moms with Teens, I talk with Dr. Özgür Bolat, author of The Reward Trap: Why Rewards Backfire and the Real Science of Motivating Kids, about the surprising downside of using rewards to motivate our kids. Dr. Bolat is a distinguished education scientist, researcher, associate professor, and internationally recognized expert in education and parenting. He earned his master's degree from Harvard Graduate School of Education and his PhD from the University of Cambridge and spent a year as a visiting PhD student at MIT Sloan. His research and personal experience led him to explore how achievement, praise, and rewards can create a dependence on external validation—and what parents can do differently. Dr. Bolat explains that while rewards may get teens to do what we want in the short term, compliance is not the same as motivation. When we say, “Get an A and I'll give you money,” or “Finish your homework and you can have more screen time,” teens may become focused on the payoff rather than learning, mastery, or personal responsibility. Over time, rewards can undermine intrinsic motivation and even affect creativity, self-esteem, and connection. Instead of immediately trying to control behavior, Dr. Bolat encourages parents to get curious about what's underneath it. Why isn't your teen studying? Why have they stopped caring about school? What are they struggling with? His PEACE model helps parents move away from simply fixing the behavior and toward understanding and solving the deeper problem together. 3 Takeaways for Moms 1. Compliance is not the same as motivation.Rewards may get your teen to do something today, but they don't necessarily build the internal motivation to keep doing it. Ask yourself: Am I trying to get immediate compliance, or am I helping my teen develop ownership? 2. Look underneath the behavior.Instead of asking, “How do I get my teen to study?” get curious: “Why is my teen struggling to study?” Resistance may be pointing to discouragement, disconnection, fear of failure, lack of meaning, or another deeper issue. 3. Help your teen find a cause, not just a goal.Grades and college acceptance may not be motivating enough. Talk with your teen about the bigger picture: What kind of life do you want? What are you good at? What matters to you? How do you want to contribute? Meaning, growth, values, and connection can become powerful internal motivators.

[00:30] The Foundation of Education (55 minutes) The American educational system is failing its students. Young people are shelling out tens of thousands of dollars for degrees that do not equip them for life or provide them with skills needed to succeed in the workforce. The solution to our broken educational system is not more money or resources but instruction founded on the Bible.

Hey teacher besties, we're starting this one off with a real crisis, because I just found out I might have lice after spending a week in California with my whole extended family, and I am spiraling. Somehow we end up debating whether chest hair can get lice, and we also give Gerry exactly 60 seconds to nerd out about his Marvel figure collection. Then we get into some real teacher chaos: my kids catching random spiders in high school, Molly's cockroach-on-the-mouth horror story that may or may not be a lie, and an incredibly detailed debate about whether you'd rather poop your pants in public or eat a live cockroach. We also help Molly brainstorm ideas to boost school spirit at her school, swap our worst pajama day stories, and Gerry tells us about the time he dropped it low in front of his coworkers. We close it out with a hill Molly's dying on this week, that people are boring because they don't embarrass themselves enough, so go do something new. Takeaways: Lice can apparently spread through an entire extended family within days, and adults are just as vulnerable as kids. Simple, low-cost spirit week themes, like anything-but-a-backpack day or decades day, tend to get more student participation than overly complicated ones. Pajama day can create real dress code challenges for both students and teachers. Trying something new that you know you'll be bad at is a great way to build funny stories and a growth mindset. Class or grade-level competitions, like themed dress-up days tied to a fun concept, tend to build long-term school spirit and tradition -- Knoword is an online tool for creating fun vocabulary games.

The pressure to be endlessly happy is leaving the next generation more anxious and isolated than ever. In his new book, The Happiness Crisis: How Adversity Can Build a Resilient and Joyful Next Generation, Dr. Jonathan Eckert calls for a culture shift that we can begin at home. How do we embrace adversity and see the value of challenges, instead of becoming parents who make everything too easy? Dr. Eckert explains the biblical connection between joy and struggle, and why removing adversity — "snowplow parenting" — prevents kids from developing resilience. Arlene and Jon work through real-life scenarios, including a child facing bullying and a teen caught using AI to cheat on a school assignment. The conversation closes with practical steps for helping kids rediscover purpose and joy through community and faith. Dr. Jonathan Eckert is a former middle school teacher and basketball coach who worked in the Bush and Obama Department of Education. He has a PhD from Vanderbilt, and currently serves as the Executive Director of the Baylor Center for School Leadership. 02:35 Why the pursuit of happiness backfires 03:29 How phones and comparison fuel kids' unhappiness 04:57 Snowplow parents vs. building "muscles around the backbone" 09:15 Roleplay: what to say when a kid is bullied at school 14:40 Roleplay: when a teen gets caught using AI to cheat 21:18 My teacher story: destructive vs. productive struggle 28:17 The "man in the arena" quote and the ABCs of joy Connect with Dr. Jonathan Eckert at jonathaneckert.org or on Linkedin.

In this Resilience Unravelled episode, host Dr Russell Thackeray interviews Chris Hill, a London-based “lived experience practitioner” who helps people with mental health and addiction by teaching an educational “separation model” that distinguishes the conscious self from mind/body mechanisms.Hill shares his own 20-year history of addiction and explains addiction as dopamine-driven habitual wiring that can be harmful when it causes damage to self or others, spanning substances (nicotine, alcohol, drugs) and behaviours (gambling, sex, porn, shopping, social media).He argues modern society “hacks” survival mechanisms, highlights environmental risks such as youth vaping and its gateway effects, and criticises willpower-only approaches.Hill outlines his book Get Your Life Back, his private mentoring via beatmyaddictions.com, and his charity robhillfoundation.org, founded after his twin brother's fatal overdose in 2014.00:00 Welcome and Introductions00:37 Chris Hill Background01:10 Personal Addiction Journey02:49 What Addiction Means05:46 Physical vs Behavioural Addictions08:24 Who Is Most Vulnerable10:33 Environment and Youth Vaping13:48 Education and Rewiring Solution16:59 Separation Model Explained22:13 Natural State and Breaking the Cycle23:38 Book and Program Options26:24 Support Community and Faith28:01 Charity Links and ClosingYou can contact us at info@qedod.comResources can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com#resilience, #burnout, #intuition

Episode 263 of the Transition Drill podcast explores military career transition and rebuilding your identity after service for veterans and first responders navigating the move into civilian life. You'll hear retired Navy Senior Chief Timothy Henderson on leaving behind nearly three decades in uniform, and what it takes to turn military experience into a meaningful next chapter.Tim grew up in Chicago's Cabrini-Green projects surrounded by gangs, drugs, and limited examples of what life could become. After losing both parents young, becoming a father as a teenager, getting into trouble, and nearly losing his direction, a judge pushed him toward a military recruiter. He joined the Navy in 1997.What began as one enlistment became a 27-year career. Tim went from an undesignated sailor to Gunner's Mate, serving aboard ships, in San Diego and Japan, with Naval Special Warfare, in training commands, and ultimately in senior leadership. Along the way, mentors changed how he viewed education, leadership, professional development, and preparing for the day the uniform came off.Tim didn't wait until retirement to think about what came next. He built relationships, developed his network, and lined up civilian work before leaving service. Still, employment didn't eliminate the challenge of separating Tim Henderson from Senior Chief Henderson.Today, he's a civilian department head at Navy Munitions Command while pursuing public speaking, mentoring, process-improvement consulting, and plans for a future business focused on ethical AI. His story shows why transition isn't simply finding another job. It's figuring out who you're becoming next.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comCHAPTERS0:00:00 — Intro: The Decision That Changed Everything0:00:46 — Growing Up in Cabrini-Green0:08:05 — Trouble, Loss, and Losing Direction0:10:51 — Fatherhood at Seventeen0:13:08 — A Judge Offers Another Path0:20:30 — Joining the Navy in 19970:28:44 — Reenlisting Before 9/110:30:43 — Finding His Calling as a Gunner's Mate0:35:13 — Going Home Changed His Perspective0:42:30 — Trouble in the Navy and a Second Chance0:44:34 — Stop Living for Other People0:47:24 — The Leaders Who Gave Him a Clean Slate0:50:31 — Earning His Way to SEAL Team One0:57:31 — Responsibility Changed the Sailor0:59:30 — Finally Making Navy Chief1:00:21 — Why He Stayed Beyond 20 Years1:04:52 — Education as Personal Growth1:11:32 — Preparing for Life After the Navy1:15:16 — When the Uniform Is No Longer You1:18:12 — Building the Next Mission1:23:36 — Your Transition Is Your Own1:26:27 — Outro: The Next Chapter BeginsSPONSORS:GRND Collective: Premium, veteran-owned sportswear built for those who show up, outwork the excuses, and give 100%.

Send us Fan MailOn Multifamily AP360, Neal Bawa says his view has shifted: supply and interest rates now drive multifamily profits more than demographics, and inaccurate third‑party permit tracking in 2022–2023 missed about 30% extra supply that contributed to widespread negative rent growth across major growth markets. He describes using AI to scrape county permit data and to improve operations, arguing the industry underuses AI beyond underwriting. Examples include an AI “Secret Shop” system that tests lead follow-up speed and quality across owned properties and 86 competitors, and an AI-assisted camera workflow that creates timesheets and uncovered employee time theft. Bawa says the broader multifamily market isn't distressed, but syndication is shrinking sharply; pricing is fair given higher rates and weaker rents. He would buy in low-tax/low-insurance, supply-absorbed markets like Boise, avoid markets with significant incoming supply, and warns underwriting assumptions for rent growth and cap compression are often unrealistic.

Send us Fan MailRama interviews Jens Nielsen, a former IT/telecom professional turned full-time commercial real estate investor and certified high performance coach who has partnered in 2,700+ apartment units and industrial assets, helped raise $10M+ in private equity, and participated in $250M+ of projects. Nielsen explains how rising interest rates, higher taxes, and surging insurance costs widened the buyer-seller pricing gap, prompting him to pause multifamily acquisitions and shift to value-add industrial/flex deals with higher cap rates (often 8–10%) in markets like Albuquerque, focusing on smaller in-city warehouses around 30–35K square feet with low vacancy. He highlights asset management as a key weakness hurting returns, stresses transparent, regular investor updates when performance falters, urges unlearning 3–4% rate assumptions and avoiding short-term bridge debt, and emphasizes conservative underwriting, long-term holds, patience, technology/AI adoption, and consistent capital raising.

693. Part 2 of our conversation with Patricia Knight Meyer about her adoption. In her gripping memoir, Wonderland: Memoir of a Black Market Adoption, Patricia unravels the complex and harrowing story of her origins within a illegal adoption ring, exploring the deep psychological ripple effects of a childhood built on hidden truths. Raised under the shadow of secrecy, Meyer masterfully weaves personal memory, investigative persistence, and raw emotional vulnerability to illuminate how illicit adoptions break identity apart and how truth can ultimately piece it back together. Her voice brings vital light to the silenced histories of black market adoptees, offering listeners a compelling exploration of belonging, family ties, and the relentless search for self-discovery.

A Scribe Called Quess? “Education.”     As recently as October of 2009, a group of teachers imported from the Philippines pressed charges for being treated like… and paid no more than… indentured servants. My only question… what the hell were they doing here in the first place? I'm here… more than apt and completely capable of teaching children that look just like I did 20 years ago… and now walk a similar path     But in the game of political ponzi that is Post-Katrina, New Orleans… it's bigger than books and study baby… EDUCATION IS BIG BUSINESS! Unions are shut down wholesale… veteran teachers fired before they can cash in on their pensions — God forbid healthcare… Teachers are outsourced… bussed in — flown in — hell!

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Jennifer Ledwith. Founder of Scholar Ready, discussed how families can successfully prepare for college while minimizing or eliminating student loan debt. Drawing from her personal experience of graduating from college with minimal debt and her work helping students earn scholarships since 2004, she shared practical strategies for test preparation, scholarship acquisition, college planning, and financial decision-making. The conversation focused on the growing cost of higher education, the dangers of excessive student loan borrowing, and the importance of early planning for both students and parents. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Help families understand how to reduce college costs. Educate parents about scholarships, student loans, and financial planning. Explain the importance of test preparation in securing scholarships. Provide a roadmap for students seeking debt-free college graduation. Raise awareness about common misconceptions surrounding college affordability. Discuss how AI is affecting student preparedness and scholarship applications. Key Takeaways 1. College Planning Should Start Early Jennifer emphasized that waiting until a student reaches senior year can limit scholarship opportunities. The ideal preparation process begins during: Middle school Freshman year Sophomore year Junior year Early preparation creates more options and stronger scholarship opportunities. 2. Scholarships Require More Than Good Grades According to Jennifer, successful scholarship candidates typically excel in three critical areas: Academic performance Standardized test scores Strong personal essays Families often focus on only one area while neglecting the others. 3. Student Loan Debt Can Be Avoided A central message of the interview is that many students can significantly reduce or avoid debt through strategic planning. This includes: Applying for scholarships early Understanding college costs Preparing for admissions exams Making financially sound college choices Jennifer built Scholar Ready specifically to help students accomplish those goals. 4. The Cost of College Requires Serious Financial Planning Jennifer compared paying for college to buying a home. She explained that families often spend months preparing for homeownership but approach college with far less planning despite similar costs. Her advice is to treat college as a major financial investment that requires preparation and professional guidance. 5. Not Every Expensive College Is the Best Financial Choice One of the myths Jennifer seeks to dispel is that private or out-of-state schools are always unaffordable. She explained that: Some private schools offer generous scholarships. Some out-of-state schools offer competitive aid packages. The actual cost may be lower than local options after scholarships are applied. Families should evaluate net cost rather than sticker price. 6. Parents Need Education Too Jennifer stressed that college planning isn't just for students. Parents need a clear understanding of: Scholarships Financial aid Loan options College affordability Long-term financial consequences Scholar Ready offers classes specifically designed to educate parents throughout the process. 7. Student Debt Is Becoming More Complex The interview explored changes in student lending and how borrowing limits can impact families. Jennifer noted that many students and parents are increasingly turning to private loans when federal aid falls short, often creating larger financial risks. 8. AI Can Become a Crutch Jennifer expressed concerns about students overusing artificial intelligence tools for writing assignments. While AI can support brainstorming and editing, excessive reliance can weaken: Writing skills Grammar skills Critical thinking Test performance Students eventually face standardized tests where AI cannot help them. 9. Standardized Tests Still Matter Despite changes in admissions practices, Jennifer believes strong SAT, ACT, and PSAT scores remain valuable, particularly when competing for scholarship dollars. Test preparation continues to play a significant role in scholarship success. 10. Different Families Need Different Solutions Scholar Ready offers multiple service options because every family enters the process with different: Timelines Goals Budgets Academic needs Jennifer believes effective college planning must be customized rather than one-size-fits-all. Key Themes Debt-Free College The interview centers on helping students graduate without burdensome student loan debt. Education as an Investment Jennifer encourages families to view college planning as a long-term financial strategy rather than a last-minute decision. Parent Involvement Parents play a crucial role in preparing students emotionally, academically, and financially. Preparation Creates Opportunity Students who prepare earlier gain access to more scholarship opportunities and better outcomes. Financial Literacy Understanding the financial side of higher education is just as important as academic preparation. Notable Quotes On Her Mission "I wanted to help students do the same thing that I did, which was to graduate from college with little to no student loan debt." On Rising College Costs "The household incomes are not keeping up with the rising cost of college." On College Planning "We need to take that same approach when it comes to college." On Scholarships "The grades, the essays and the test scores have to be on point." On Private Schools "Don't apply to a school out of state, don't apply to a private college because those colleges are going to be too much. No, not necessarily." On Scholarship Strategy "Do not start there. Start at the college or university." On AI "They've been using AI as a crutch." On Standardized Testing "There is no AI on the test." On Preparation "We're starting early." On Student Success "I am trying to pour that into my younger students." Success Highlights Founded Scholar Ready in 2004. Helped students earn scholarships and reduce college debt. Built a nationwide educational services company. Developed programs for both students and parents. Expanded services to include test preparation, essay coaching, and college planning. Studied personal financial planning and became a Certified Financial Planner to better serve families. Bottom Line Jennifer Ledwith's interview provides a practical roadmap for families seeking a more affordable path to higher education.

Episode 165Pathological Demand Avoidance: The Lived Experience, with Kendahl DamashekBarry and Dave speak with Kendall Damashek, a parent coach and expert on the topic of PDA. Kendall shared her personal and professional insights into PDA, explaining it as a survival drive for autonomy and equality rather than a pathology. She discussed the physiological and nervous system responses that individuals with PDA experience, emphasizing that these are not conscious choices but reactions to perceived threats to autonomy. Kendall addressed common misconceptions, such as labeling PDA behaviors as oppositional or defiant, and highlighted the importance of understanding the internal experience of those with PDA, and she provided practical strategies for parents and caregivers, including giving more autonomy, fostering equality, providing nervous system safety, and lowering demands.Learn more on our website!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Jennifer Ledwith. Founder of Scholar Ready, discussed how families can successfully prepare for college while minimizing or eliminating student loan debt. Drawing from her personal experience of graduating from college with minimal debt and her work helping students earn scholarships since 2004, she shared practical strategies for test preparation, scholarship acquisition, college planning, and financial decision-making. The conversation focused on the growing cost of higher education, the dangers of excessive student loan borrowing, and the importance of early planning for both students and parents. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Help families understand how to reduce college costs. Educate parents about scholarships, student loans, and financial planning. Explain the importance of test preparation in securing scholarships. Provide a roadmap for students seeking debt-free college graduation. Raise awareness about common misconceptions surrounding college affordability. Discuss how AI is affecting student preparedness and scholarship applications. Key Takeaways 1. College Planning Should Start Early Jennifer emphasized that waiting until a student reaches senior year can limit scholarship opportunities. The ideal preparation process begins during: Middle school Freshman year Sophomore year Junior year Early preparation creates more options and stronger scholarship opportunities. 2. Scholarships Require More Than Good Grades According to Jennifer, successful scholarship candidates typically excel in three critical areas: Academic performance Standardized test scores Strong personal essays Families often focus on only one area while neglecting the others. 3. Student Loan Debt Can Be Avoided A central message of the interview is that many students can significantly reduce or avoid debt through strategic planning. This includes: Applying for scholarships early Understanding college costs Preparing for admissions exams Making financially sound college choices Jennifer built Scholar Ready specifically to help students accomplish those goals. 4. The Cost of College Requires Serious Financial Planning Jennifer compared paying for college to buying a home. She explained that families often spend months preparing for homeownership but approach college with far less planning despite similar costs. Her advice is to treat college as a major financial investment that requires preparation and professional guidance. 5. Not Every Expensive College Is the Best Financial Choice One of the myths Jennifer seeks to dispel is that private or out-of-state schools are always unaffordable. She explained that: Some private schools offer generous scholarships. Some out-of-state schools offer competitive aid packages. The actual cost may be lower than local options after scholarships are applied. Families should evaluate net cost rather than sticker price. 6. Parents Need Education Too Jennifer stressed that college planning isn't just for students. Parents need a clear understanding of: Scholarships Financial aid Loan options College affordability Long-term financial consequences Scholar Ready offers classes specifically designed to educate parents throughout the process. 7. Student Debt Is Becoming More Complex The interview explored changes in student lending and how borrowing limits can impact families. Jennifer noted that many students and parents are increasingly turning to private loans when federal aid falls short, often creating larger financial risks. 8. AI Can Become a Crutch Jennifer expressed concerns about students overusing artificial intelligence tools for writing assignments. While AI can support brainstorming and editing, excessive reliance can weaken: Writing skills Grammar skills Critical thinking Test performance Students eventually face standardized tests where AI cannot help them. 9. Standardized Tests Still Matter Despite changes in admissions practices, Jennifer believes strong SAT, ACT, and PSAT scores remain valuable, particularly when competing for scholarship dollars. Test preparation continues to play a significant role in scholarship success. 10. Different Families Need Different Solutions Scholar Ready offers multiple service options because every family enters the process with different: Timelines Goals Budgets Academic needs Jennifer believes effective college planning must be customized rather than one-size-fits-all. Key Themes Debt-Free College The interview centers on helping students graduate without burdensome student loan debt. Education as an Investment Jennifer encourages families to view college planning as a long-term financial strategy rather than a last-minute decision. Parent Involvement Parents play a crucial role in preparing students emotionally, academically, and financially. Preparation Creates Opportunity Students who prepare earlier gain access to more scholarship opportunities and better outcomes. Financial Literacy Understanding the financial side of higher education is just as important as academic preparation. Notable Quotes On Her Mission "I wanted to help students do the same thing that I did, which was to graduate from college with little to no student loan debt." On Rising College Costs "The household incomes are not keeping up with the rising cost of college." On College Planning "We need to take that same approach when it comes to college." On Scholarships "The grades, the essays and the test scores have to be on point." On Private Schools "Don't apply to a school out of state, don't apply to a private college because those colleges are going to be too much. No, not necessarily." On Scholarship Strategy "Do not start there. Start at the college or university." On AI "They've been using AI as a crutch." On Standardized Testing "There is no AI on the test." On Preparation "We're starting early." On Student Success "I am trying to pour that into my younger students." Success Highlights Founded Scholar Ready in 2004. Helped students earn scholarships and reduce college debt. Built a nationwide educational services company. Developed programs for both students and parents. Expanded services to include test preparation, essay coaching, and college planning. Studied personal financial planning and became a Certified Financial Planner to better serve families. Bottom Line Jennifer Ledwith's interview provides a practical roadmap for families seeking a more affordable path to higher education. Her message is clear: the rising cost of college requires intentional planning, early preparation, and informed decision-making. Through scholarship strategies, academic preparation, parent education, and financial literacy, students can significantly reduce debt and increase their opportunities for long-term success. #SHMS #STRAW #BEST Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

Efforts to improve representation of Native American perspectives in historical and cultural lessons just made considerable progress in two states. A curriculum developed by the Suquamish Tribe over the past decade is now available for Washington States schools. Organizers say it fleshes out the details of past events that previous history lessons portrayed as favorable to colonizing forces and people at the expense of the area's tribes. And in Montana, state officials settled a lawsuit demanding public schools show accountability in how they adhere to constitutionally mandated instruction on the history of the state's tribes. We'll also zoom out to get a broader view of how Native students fit in across the country with the evolving efforts to connect with them amid persistently low test scores and educational attainment.

Ask a question hereWARNING: This episode is intentionally abrasive. It contains strong language, blunt opinions, and an alarming lack of patience for sales pitches disguised as education. If professional disagreement offends you, consider this your continuing education credit in hurt feelings. Not all pool industry education is created equal—and “free” education is rarely free.In this episode, Rudy examines the difference between manufacturer-funded seminars, paid independent instruction, field experience, and research-based education. A company trainer may know the product inside and out, but does that knowledge survive on a real equipment pad? A veteran may have decades of stories, but do those personal experiences have evidence behind them? And when every road in a seminar conveniently leads to the sponsor's product, did you attend a class—or a sales pitch with continuing education credits stapled to it?Rudy also addresses the criticism he received after publicly supporting Pool Brain's hiring of Erik Knight. Respecting someone does not mean agreeing with every position they hold. Professional disagreement is healthy when people show their work, provide sources, remain open to challenges, and understand the limits of their own knowledge.Before investing your money—or four hours of your life and half a turkey sandwich—research the instructor as carefully as you research the class.In This EpisodeWhy supporting an educator does not require treating everything they teach as gospelErik Knight's role in bringing LSI into the everyday pool industry conversationThe difference between disagreement and intellectual dishonestyWhy today's pool professionals may be overwhelmed by too much educationManufacturer education versus paid independent instructionWhy “free” seminars still have a cost and an agendaThe difference between product knowledge and field experienceWhy personal experience is valuable—but not automatically universal truthHow research and field experience should challenge and strengthen one anotherThe warning signs of a sales presentation disguised as educationQuestions to ask before registering for any classWhy expertise in one subject does not qualify someone to teach everythingThe value of an instructor willing to say, “I don't know”The strongest educators understand both the literature and the realities of the field. They identify whether they are presenting scientific evidence, professional judgment, product-specific training, or personal observation—and they never pretend those categories are interchangeable.A famous name only proves the marketing worked. A company title tells you who employs the speaker. A registration fee tells you what the class costs. None of those things tells you whether the instructor deserves your time.Research does.

Who can best help children learn—AI or humans? In this special episode shared on behalf of Bellwether, a nonprofit transforming education for young people, Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings argues that AI could move education beyond the one-size-fits-all classroom toward individualized learning. Education entrepreneur Mike Goldstein pushes back, asking whether technology can overcome students' lack of motivation—or replace the human relationships and social connection that help them learn. First, Ravi Gupta empties his notebook on the political stories shaping the midterms, from Trump's economic troubles to the Senate races that could shift the balance of power. Special thanks to Bellwether for sharing this conversation, featuring Reed Hastings and Michael Goldstein and moderated by Andrew Rotherham. -Pre-order Ravi's new book, The Invisible List:https://readinvisiblelist.com/ -Join the Invisible Posse:https://readinvisiblelist.com/posse -See upcoming book events:https://readinvisiblelist.com/events -Interested in hosting Ravi for an Invisible List event in your city?

There is a new documentary coming out about Olympic breakdancer and academic, Raygun, and we don't know how we're going to be able to wait for its release. In the meantime, we talk about Amanda Knox's decision to try her hand at comedy, and why we think maybe she should do literally anything else. We debate whether it's inappropriate for her to make light of a murder or whether being wrongfully accused means she is a victim too, thus giving her more freedom to make jokes. We hear about a golf cheater and how his life is ruined over the dumbest lie ever told. We find out about an uber driver who has been in jail for years for accidentally transporting marijuana. We debate the rights of a surrogate who refused to terminate her pregnancy despite the agreement she'd made with the birth parents. We discuss why microwave beeps are so annoying. We hear about a football team who used "color theory" to intimidate their opposition in the locker room. We find out why wedding gifts in Japan have less value now and we learn why reading literally any book makes you less likely to die.Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)TDM-RESERVATION: 1.
