If you've ever tried to day trade stocks, you've probably run into the requirement to keep at least $25,000 in your brokerage account just to trade actively. For more than two decades, that threshold, and the Pattern Day Trader rule behind it, governed how investors could access margin for day trading. But markets have changed dramatically since 2001, and earlier this year, FINRA replaced the Pattern Day Trader rule with a modern, risk-based framework under FINRA Rule 4210—the Intraday Margin Standard. On this episode, Racquel Russell, Director of Capital Markets Policy and Head of the Office of Financial and Operational Risk Policy, and James Barry, Senior Director, Credit Regulation, tell the story behind that change: why the old rules existed, why they stopped working, and what the new framework means for investors and member firms.

In this Supplement Ingredient Series episode, Nurse Doza makes the case for the B vitamin nobody talks about: vitamin B6. Everyone knows B12 — the pills, the injections, the whole routine — but B6 is the cofactor your body leans on to build serotonin, dopamine, and GABA, the neurotransmitters behind mood, focus, and steady daytime energy. He covers who tends to run low, why intake alone doesn't guarantee good status, and where an adaptogen-plus-adrenal formula like Zen fits in. FEATURED PARTNER Zen (Stress Relief) by MSW Nutrition is the formula Nurse Doza reaches for when the B6 conversation turns practical. Each capsule delivers 15 mg of vitamin B6 as P5P — the already-active form your enzymes can use directly — alongside 125 mg of bovine adrenal gland (Argentina) and a five-botanical adaptogen blend: rhodiola, Asian ginseng, eleuthero, schisandra, and licorice, plus vitamin C and 150 mg of pantothenic acid. It's built to support the body's adaptogenic response to everyday stressors and support energy production and stamina.

You Got Advice—So Why Was It Still a Bad Decision? Can you seek advice and still make a terrible decision? Absolutely. In 1 Kings 12, two new kings—Rehoboam and Jeroboam—face some of the biggest decisions of their lives. Both seek advice. Both listen to advisors. And both make disastrous choices that affect generations. The problem wasn't simply whether they asked for advice. The deeper question was: What were they looking for when they asked? Wisdom—or approval? God's direction—or validation for something they had already decided? In this episode of the Rob Skinner Podcast, Rob explores the stories of Rehoboam and Jeroboam and shares five practical principles for making better decisions at the major crossroads of life. Rehoboam received wise counsel from experienced leaders who encouraged him to serve the people. But when he didn't like their answer, he found younger advisors who told him what he wanted to hear. One pride-driven decision helped split the kingdom of Israel. Jeroboam made a different mistake. God had already promised to establish his kingdom if he remained faithful. But fear took over. Instead of asking whether his plan honored God, he sought advice about how to execute a decision he had already made—leading to the golden calves at Bethel and Dan and generations of idolatry. One of the most important lessons is simple: Something can work and still be wrong. Effectiveness is not the same thing as faithfulness. In this episode, you'll learn: Why asking for advice is only the beginning How Rehoboam confused advice with approval Why the advice you don't want to hear may be the advice you need How Jeroboam used good strategy to accomplish the wrong goal Why fear can disguise itself as wisdom How greed can sound like "good stewardship" Why your heart cannot always be trusted How a small number of major decisions determine much of your life Why you should seek several perspectives on important decisions How to choose advisors whose lives you actually respect Why, when both choices are good, choosing growth can be a helpful principle How Rob and Pam chose church planting in Tucson over financial opportunity in Oregon Why it's never too late to admit you were wrong and change direction Rob closes with five principles for better decisions: Seek advice. Ask more than one person. Ask people whose lives you respect and would want to imitate. When both choices are good, consider choosing the path that produces greater spiritual growth. Don't be afraid or embarrassed to change your mind. Before your next major decision, ask yourself: Am I really looking for wisdom—or am I looking for permission? Sometimes the advice you least want to hear is exactly the advice you need. Learn more about Rob's books and the podcast at RobSkinner.com. You can also support the program here.

We measure almost everything in #GovConBut are we measuring the thing that matters most?In other words, are we asking how effectively is the GovCon Ecosystem enabling agencies to accomplish their missions through contracts?After all, that's the point of government contracting: to enable the agency mission through contracts.This is THE question we in #GovCon should be asking regularly.To help answer that question: we created the GovCon Mission Effectiveness Index, or GMEI.Every quarter, we ask people across government and industry - especially our podcast listeners like you - how effectively they think the GovCon Ecosystem is enabling agencies to meet their missions through contracts.We combine those anonymous responses into a single benchmark that tells us where we are today, where we think we're going, and how those perceptions are changing over time.Go to GovConMEI.com and add your perspective. It only takes 2 minutes (I timed it!). Once you take it, share it with one other person in GovCon.At the end of the month, I'll come back here and share the results.Every quarter tells a story. Help us measure this one.

In this Wellness Tech installment, Jonathan Mendoza, DC, APRN, NP-C — Nurse Doza — explains why red light panels have become a daily fixture in his clinic and his home. He covers how red and near-infrared wavelengths reach the mitochondria to support healthy ATP production, why panels deliver solar-style input without UV exposure, how he personally uses violet light to wind down at night, and what the emerging 40Hz gamma-frequency research does and does not yet show in humans. FEATURED PARTNER LightpathLED builds veteran-owned red and near-infrared light therapy panels. Nurse Doza uses one daily and highlights this brand specifically because it offers more than a single red setting — it includes violet-spectrum output and adjustable frequency, including a 40Hz option he notes he hasn't found on other consumer panels. Shop: https://lightpathled.com Code: NURSEDOZA (discount applied at checkout) Current promo:Select Diesel Gen3 panels ship with a free stand — verify at checkout, promos change Join the School of Doza The School of Doza is a paid health-education community with live group consults every **Wednesday at 1 PM Central**, plus courses, protocols, and direct access to Nurse Doza. Start your free trial: https://www.schoolofdoza.com --- 5 Key Takeaways 1. Red and near-infrared light interact with your mitochondria, not just your skin.These wavelengths are absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase in the electron transport chain, which supports healthy ATP production — the mechanism researchers call photobiomodulation. 2. A panel delivers solar-style light input without the UV load.Most people spend the majority of daylight hours indoors under light their cells don't recognize. Red light panels are one way to add that input without the burn risk that comes with UV exposure. 3. Panels are low-friction to use. No undressing required — Nurse Doza sits in front of his and lets it hit his forehead. He uses sessions in the two-to-five-minute range as his own personal routine, not a prescribed protocol. 4. Violet light sits at the opposite end of the visible spectrum from red. Nurse Doza reports using violet output in the evening as part of his wind-down. This is his subjective experience — violet-specific calming effects are not yet well established in the peer-reviewed literature. 5. The 40Hz frequency setting is an area of active research, not settled science. Gamma-frequency entrainment at 40Hz has been studied for its effects on brain activity, but the most-cited amyloid findings are from animal models and have published author corrections. Interesting, worth following — not a treatment.

In this new episode, we explore a part of the marketing mix that we have hitherto yet to cover – Sponsorship. We are joined by Rory Natkiel. Rory has spent nearly 15 years in senior strategy roles at agencies including Iris and Sid Lee Sport, working with brands including adidas, Lidl and Tommy Hilfiger.  He co-founded the Sponsorship Effectiveness Forum and authored The Sponsorship Effect, the largest statistical analysis of sponsorship effectiveness to date. He now runs Box Count – an agency that helps brands, rights holders and agencies make more confident sponsorship decisions (and defend them to the people who hold the budget). We talk about the role of Sponsorship in the marketing mix, how to apply modern marketing effectiveness thinking to it and his favourite sponsorship activity, amongst other things. NB this was recorded before the World Cup hence limited discussion of that event.  External resources:Box Count website - CLICK HERERory's LinkedIn profile - CLICK HEREAudio-Visual assets:Imagery: Photo by Matthew Brodeur on UnsplashMusic: Hot Thang by Daniel Fridell - CLICK HEREMusic: Sick Man's Blues by Peter Crosby - CLICK HERE

Sign up for my free newsletter/1 page action plansIn this episode of Live Long and Well, Dr. Bobby looks at the evidence behind breakfast—not as a slogan, but as a real-life question: what problem is breakfast solving?For some people, breakfast may help with blood sugar, protein intake, morning exercise, or avoiding late-day overeating. For others, skipping breakfast may work perfectly well. And for many adults, “breakfast” may really mean coffee—which can improve alertness and exercise performance, but is not the same as food, protein, fiber, or fuel.Dr. Bobby also explores where the breakfast slogan came from, including its ties to cereal companies, health reformers, and early public relations campaigns. The episode then compares breakfast, lunch, and dinner through three practical questions:Does this meal help my body and health?Weight, blood sugar, disease risk, protein, and muscle.Does this meal help me perform today?Exercise, energy, focus, cognition, and school performance.Does this meal help me live well?Family rhythm, connection, and the social meaning of meals.The conclusion: there is probably no single “most important meal” for everyone. The best meal is the one that helps you live the day you are actually trying to live.In this episodeWhy “breakfast is the most important meal” may be more marketing than medical factWhat observational studies suggest about breakfast skipping and heart disease riskWhy healthy-user bias makes breakfast research trickyWhat randomized trials show about breakfast, skipping breakfast, weight loss, and metabolismHow chrononutrition raises a better question: are we eating too much too late?Why coffee may help you skip breakfast—but does not replace breakfast nutritionallyWhen eating before morning exercise mattersWhat we know about breakfast, cognition, and school performance in childrenWhy “hangry” may be realHow breakfast, lunch, and dinner each serve different rolesHow to decide whether breakfast matters for youKey takeawaysBreakfast does not magically turn on your metabolism.Randomized trials do not show that simply adding breakfast leads to meaningful weight loss.Skipping breakfast is not automatically harmful.It may work well for some people, especially if it reduces total calories without causing overeating later.The observational data are complicated.Breakfast skippers often look less healthy in long-term studies, but they may also smoke more, sleep less, exercise less, work irregular schedules, or eat more late at night.Chrononutrition gives breakfast its strongest argument.The body may handle calories better earlier in the day than late at night. The issue may be less “everyone must eat breakfast” and more “be careful about pushing most calories to the evening.”Coffee is not breakfast.Coffee may improve alertness and exercise performance, and it may reduce appetite for a while. But it is not protein, fiber, or fuel.Kids are different.For a hungry child, breakfast may matter for learning readiness, behavior, and attention.Exercise changes the answer.For a short, easy workout, coffee and water may be enough. For a long run, long ride, intervals, or race-like effort, food or carbohydrate may help.Dinner may win the connection argument.Shared meals are strongly linked with well-being. Dinner may not be best for blood sugar, but it may be powerful for family, friendship, and decompression.Lunch deserves more respect.Lunch may be the underrated meal that prevents the 3 p.m. slump and the 9 p.m. snack attack.A practical experimentRather than adopting a slogan, try a personal experiment.For two weeks, eat a real breakfast with protein, fiber, and minimal added sugar. Track your hunger, mood, exercise quality, afternoon energy, evening snacking, and sleep.Then, if it is safe for you, try two weeks of delaying or skipping breakfast while keeping your coffee/caffeine routine consistent.Ask yourself:Do I feel better or worse?Do I eat less overall—or make it up later?Are my workouts better or worse?Am I sharper or more irritable?Does skipping breakfast lead to a chaotic dinner?Am I still getting enough protein?The question is not whether breakfast works in theory. The question is whether breakfast works for you.Who should be more cautious about skipping breakfast?Be more careful with breakfast skipping if you are a child or adolescent, pregnant, diabetic, prone to low blood sugar, have a history of eating disorders, do long or intense morning workouts, or struggle to get enough protein—especially as an older adult.Dr. Bobby's bottom lineFor me, breakfast is not the most important meal most days.If I have a long workout ahead, I eat breakfast. Coffee alone is not enough.If I am just writing, reading, or working in the morning, coffee may be enough until I am actually hungry.And if I am eating with family or friends, breakfast matters for a different reason. Sometimes the table matters more than the eggs.Maybe breakfast is not the most important meal of the day.Maybe it is the most marketed.The most important meal is the one that helps you live the day you are actually trying to live.

TEATIME WITH MISS LIZ SERVES: Ramiro Moreno August 7th | 3 PM EST Title:Clean Air Starts at the Source: Trust, Awareness & Healthier Living Tagline:Real solutions don't cover up the problem—they uncover it and create lasting change. Description: On August 7th at 3 PM EST, Teatime with Miss Liz welcomes Ramiro Moreno, founder of DWD2 Clean Air, a company committed to improving the quality of the air we breathe by addressing contamination at its source rather than simply masking the symptoms. Ramiro's journey began with a simple observation—he noticed something others had accepted and chose to ask, “Why?” That question sparked a mission rooted in innovation, persistence, and service. Today, DWD2 Clean Air provides highly effective, non-toxic, plant-based solutions that help eliminate mould, odours, and contaminants in vehicles, homes, and workplaces, creating healthier environments for families and businesses alike. Driven by integrity and purpose, Ramiro believes that education empowers consumers to make informed decisions about the air they breathe every day. Join Miss Liz for an enlightening conversation about clean air, health, innovation, environmental awareness, entrepreneurship, and the importance of solving problems at their source. Opening: Welcome everyone to Teatime with Miss Liz, where meaningful conversations inspire us to look beyond the surface and discover solutions that truly make a difference. Today, I am pleased to welcome Ramiro Moreno. Ramiro is the founder of DWD2 Clean Air, a company dedicated to helping people create healthier living and working environments through innovative, plant-based solutions that address contamination where it begins. Rather than accepting the status quo, Ramiro asked questions, challenged assumptions, and developed products that focus on long-term health instead of temporary fixes. His T-E-E is Trust, Effectiveness, Awareness—three values that reflect his commitment to educating consumers and helping them breathe easier with confidence. Ramiro, welcome to Teatime with Miss Liz. We are honoured to have you join us. Closing: Today's conversation reminds us that the smallest questions can lead to the greatest innovations. Ramiro's story demonstrates how curiosity, integrity, and persistence can create solutions that improve everyday life. His work encourages us to think differently about the spaces we live, work, and travel in—and reminds us that true wellness begins with the environment around us. Thank you, Ramiro, for helping people understand that healthier air leads to healthier lives, and for your dedication to educating others through innovation and service. Ramiro Moreno is the founder of DWD2 Clean Air, a company specializing in non-toxic, plant-based solutions that eliminate mould, odours, and air contamination in vehicles, homes, and workplaces. Passionate about education and innovation, he empowers consumers to create healthier environments by addressing problems at their source rather than masking them.Miss Liz Reflection: “The air we breathe is something we often take for granted—until someone cares enough to improve it. Awareness creates healthier choices, and healthier choices create stronger communities.”— Miss Liz#TeatimeWithMissLiz#RamiroMoreno#CleanAirMatters#HealthyLiving#AwarenessThroughInnovation

How Does Therapy Culture Undermine True Healing?   Host Curtis Chang talks with physician and author Matthew Loftus about how therapeutic language can distort ordinary suffering, turn disagreement into "gaslighting," and leave people feeling less capable of changing their lives. They examine the overmedicalization of grief and anxiety, the rise of mental health culture in schools, and why churches risk losing their purpose when pastors start acting like therapists. **This is not an attack on therapy or psychiatric medication. It is a provocative conversation about when mental health care becomes a worldview—and whether our relentless focus on feeling better is actually making us sicker.   02:10 - Therapy Practice vs. Therapy Culture 03:52 - The Importance of Personal Experience 06:34 - The Three Elements of Therapy Culture 10:09 - The Problem with Focusing on Mental Health 13:22 - The Suggestive Power of Diagnosis 15:30 - A Christian Understanding of Suffering 17:57 - Finding Solace in the Midst of Suffering 21:40 - The Role of Medication in Mental Health 25:49 - Knowing When Therapy Becomes Unhelpful 28:30 - The Unique, Healing Functions of the Church  32:21 - How Parents Can Counter Therapy Culture in Schools 35:01 - A Final Word of Encouragement   To give to Good Faith: https://goodfaith.org/donate     Mentioned in This Episode: Matthew Loftus's Resisting Therapy Culture Curtis Chang's Anxiety Opportunity Kathryn Greene-McCreight's Darkness Is My Only Companion What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?     Further Reading: DSM5 and the Medicalization of Grief: Two Perspectives (article) Matter over mind: How mental health symptom presentations shape diagnostic outcomes Effectiveness of school-based mental health programs on mental health among adolescents     Scriptures: Romans 8:38–39 (ESV)   More From Matthew Loftus: Matthew's website Matthew's writing at Mere Orthodoxy Matthew's articles at Plough     Follow Us: Good Faith on Instagram Good Faith on X (formerly Twitter) Good Faith on Facebook   The Good Faith Podcast is a production of a 501(c)(3) nonpartisan organization that does not engage in any political campaign activity to support or oppose any candidate for public office.

As the climate crisis accelerates, our information ecosystem has become a critical battleground. Coordinated climate disinformation - driven by fossil fuel interests - is increasingly targeting cities and urban leaders to stall transformative policy and manufacture public doubt.In this special Hot Takes episode recorded on the ground at London Climate Action Week, host David Miller examines how cities are actively defending information integrity and reclaiming the narrative. We look at why proactive storytelling and pre-bunking are far more powerful than traditional fact-checking, how mayors serve as vital trusted messengers in noisy digital spaces, and the stark reality of how disinformation threatens life and resilience on the frontlines of Ukraine. We will also be exploring how the C40 Centre itself incubated the recently launched City Climate Facts that aims to support cities in fighting disinformation, and cleaning up our urban information ecosystem.Featured guests:Adam Brzezinski, British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at the London School of Economics and Political ScienceChiara Morfeo, Senior Manager for Research and Communications at the C40 CentreOleksandr Senkevich, Mayor of Mykolaiv, UkraineTo follow more of C40 and the C40 Centre's work combating climate disinformation, please check out the following links: The C40 Centre's climate communications insights - SubstackPrevious episodes of Cities 1.5 covering different aspects of climate disinformation Overview of C40's disinformation work.If you would like a copy of the C40 disinformation and extreme weather playbook - available in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese - please request one through the form at the bottom of this link. Links:Big Oil's Real Agenda on Climate Change - InfluenceMap websiteCombatting Climate Disinformation: Comparing the Effectiveness of Correction Placement and Type - Environmental CommunicationInoculation Theory as a Design Approach to Game-Based Misinformation Interventions - Taylor & FrancisDisinformation in the City: Response Playbook - University of Melbourne & German Marshall FundDisinformation in the Service of War - Center for European Policy AnalysisStarving the Hydra: How Digital Platforms Profit from Misinformation - Center for Countering Digital HateIf you want to learn more about the Journal of City Climate Policy and Economy, please visit our website at https://jccpe.utpjournals.press/Listen to the Cities 1.5 five-part miniseries “Going Steady with Herman Daly: How to Unbreak the Economy (and the Planet)" here: https://lnk.to/HDMiniSeriesCities 1.5 is produced by the University of Toronto Press and the C40 Centre, and is supported by C40 Cities.

Are wearable devices like Fitbits, Apple Watches, and fitness trackers really worth it? In this episode of the “NASM CPT Podcast,” host Rick Richey dives deep into the science and practical truth behind modern wearable tech.

The Three Quivering Questions of Modern Society:How can I achieve my goals with less effort?How can I achieve my goals in less time?How and where can I find pleasure?These are the “How to…” questions.(I call them the Quivering Questions because they contain an anxious energy similar to that of an addict looking for his or her next “fix.”)Shortcuts, pro tips, life hacks, and insider secrets are snippets that exist to tell you “How to…”Schools, seminars, master mind groups, and countless consultants exist to tell you “How to…”Millions of books and Youtube videos have been written and produced to tell you “How to…”The answers to the “How to” questions are always Informational.The Three Ancient Questions That Echo Within Us:Who Am I? (Identity)Why Am I Here? (Purpose)What Must I Overcome? (Adventure)Those are the “Fascination” questions.Fascination is the drive behind our search for God and our hunger for entertainment.Faith and entertainment seem incongruent until you realize that both of them fascinate us because they change our mood and lift us higher.The answers to the “Fascination” questions are always Relational.When you understand these 6 questions, you understand the essence, attraction, and purpose of social media.Youtube offers only “How to” videos and “Fascination” videos.Likewise, every book is either a “How to” book or a “Fascination” book.Television shows are either “How to” or “Fascination.” Movies and music lend themselves mostly to fascination.I told you, “Fascination is the drive behind our search for God and our hunger for entertainment.”When we contemplate our existence and the possibility of God, we ask,Who Am I?Why Am I Here?What Must I Overcome?Your answers to those questions will determine your faith, whether it be Judeo-Christian, Hindu, Moslem, Buddhist, Atheist, Agnostic, or one of the many other belief systems with millions of followers.When entertainment elevates our mood, our fascination comes from identity reinforcement.The books, movies, and television shows that we love are the ones that show us a reflection of ourselves.When we identify with a character, we vicariously experience the challenges they face. These challenges are known as the plot or the “narractive arc.”We likewise experience the evolution of that character when they are changed by those challenges. This is known as the “character arc.”The characters with whom we identify remind us of who we are.Identity reinforcement is the essence of affinity groups.An affinity group is any group of people who are attracted to the same thing.Every religion is an affinity group.The fans of a sports team are an affinity group.People who follow fashion are an affinity group.If you like jazz music, or hip-hop, or Jeeps or NASCAR or backpacking or sewing or science fiction or romance or current events or capitalism or gossip, you are in an affinity group.Mass media and social media exist to attract and serve affinity groups.The size of a business opportunity is largely determined by size of the affinity group it serves.If you are an electrician, a plumber, or an HVAC technician, your affinity groups will be people who like and need electricity, running water, and comfortable temperatures. Your limiting factors will bethe population of your trade areathe strength of your competitors.how often the average person needs your servicesWhether or not your name is the one people think of first and feel the best about.If you are a dentist, a jeweler, a lawyer, or a tree trimmer, your limiting factors will bethe population of your trade areathe strength of your competitorshow often the average person needs your servicesWhether or not your name is the one people think of first and feel the best about.If you own a restaurant, a grocery store, or sell some other product that people need weekly, your limiting factors will bethe population of the neighborhood in which you are locatedthe quality of the customer's experiencethe visibility of your locationBelieve it or not, everything I have told you in these 727 words is extremely important when you are creating the messages that you will spend your advertising budget to deliver.I understand if you are surprised by this, but it is true, nonetheless.Roy H.

Warum werden Gespräche manchmal innerhalb von Sekunden zu einem Schlagabtausch? Warum rechtfertigen wir uns, greifen zurück an oder machen einfach komplett dicht, obwohl wir uns eigentlich verstanden fühlen wollen? In dieser Folge sprechen Leon und Atze über Defensivität – eine der häufigsten Ursachen dafür, dass Konflikte eskalieren und Beziehungen leiden. Gemeinsam schauen sie darauf, warum wir so schnell in den Verteidigungsmodus schalten. Außerdem geht es um konkrete Strategien für schwierige Gespräche. Eine Folge über den Mut, Kritik auszuhalten, sich zu öffnen und Gespräche zu führen, bei denen es am Ende nicht ums Gewinnen geht – sondern darum, einander wieder zu erreichen.

Chuck Todd opens with the Iran war's arrival on American soil: hackers have hit water systems across multiple states in one of the most serious cyberattacks on U.S. water infrastructure in years and investigators probing an Iranian link. Trump's response tells you everything about the presidency in its current state — he didn't blame the attacker, he blamed the victim, using the hack as an occasion to attack Minnesota Democrats. Chuck’s question hangs over the whole segment: was Trump briefed on the Iranian connection and went after Minnesota anyway? Either way, the first instinct was to find a Democrat to blame, which Chuck calls a kind of polarization disease that leaves a president caring more about his narrative than about American citizens drinking the water. It fits a pattern the episode keeps circling: Jeanine Pirro presented false evidence to a grand jury blaming a former Olympian for damage to the White House reflecting pool, dropped the case when Interior produced documents proving otherwise, and Trump publicly disagreed with dropping it because he still insists it was vandals. Chuck argues negative information never reaches Trump, and people who bring him bad news don't last long — which is how you end up with a president insisting affordability is a Democratic scam Then, Chuck highlights a Wall Street Journal piece that lays out Trump's corruption — roughly $800 million raised through what amounts to an advertised pay-to-play scheme. Anti-corruption is a devastating midterm message sitting right there for Democrats to pick up… then Chuck Schumer rolled out a bill that Chuck calls a piece of garbage: it wouldn't even cover the conduct in the WSJ story, it's likely unconstitutional because it names individuals, and — most absurdly — it creates a new anti-corruption agency inside the executive branch, meaning a corrupt president would appoint its director and seven board members and, per the Supreme Court, could fire them at will. Congress can already do every bit of the oversight the agency would perform and Schumer's answer to executive corruption is to hand the executive more power and write Congress out of its own job. He closes on Michigan and Wisconsin as the clearest signals of where the Democratic Party is headed — Abdul El-Sayed running a movement inside a Senate race with the explicit goal of changing the party, DSA-endorsed Francesca Wong leading in Wisconsin while the establishment fails to coordinate against her — and on the DSA's new call to abolish the Senate, which Senate Democrats pushed back on without ever defending the institution. Chuck defends it himself: the Senate is a feature, not a bug, a brake on political extremism, and the right response to losing an argument is to win it rather than rewrite the rules. Then, Dr. Brian King — the former director of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products, who was placed on administrative leave in April 2025 as part of the mass HHS layoffs joins the Chuck Toddcast to explain what happens to public health when the agency charged with protecting it gets deliberately dismantled. King walks through the extraordinary progress America made reducing cigarette smoking over decades, and how quickly that's being unwound: the tobacco industry donated millions to Trump's PAC, executives pressured the White House directly, and the payoff has been regulatory capture and mounting pressure on the FDA to bring flavored products back to market. He's clear-eyed rather than absolutist on the science — combustible products are far and away the most harmful, nicotine itself is highly addictive but isn't what's killing people, though it's genuinely not risk-free for the adolescent brain — and he walks Chuck through the comparison to caffeine, the data on whether vaping serves as a gateway back into smoking, and what's actually known about nicotine pouches, where youth usage isn't high but stubbornly isn't declining either. The industry, meanwhile, is spending roughly a million dollars an hour advertising its products while fighting every government action to reduce smoking. The conversation turns to what actually works and what's being abandoned. King argues the two most effective interventions available are reducing nicotine levels in cigarettes and banning menthol, credits Congress for getting the Tobacco Control Act right, and stresses that Congress — not the FDA acting alone — has to be the one to regulate tobacco, which is precisely why sidelining the agency is so damaging. He and Chuck get into the questions nobody in Washington wants to answer: why are cigarettes legal at all, how are sugary alcoholic beverages not treated in the same category, and where did the money from the 1998 master settlement actually go. King is pointed that the MAHA movement, for all its rhetoric about chronic disease, has done nothing prominent on tobacco, and that the FDA is now actively undermining both the science and the law it was built to enforce. His closing warning is the bleakest note of the episode: America is in a public health apocalypse that will take decades to repair, it will be enormously hard to recruit a next generation into the field, the entire world will be harmed by the collapse of American public health infrastructure — and the impacts are only just beginning to show up. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit Watergate and Richard Nixon’s resignation, and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

Cannes debuted a new award for creative consistency this year. 73 brands entered. Just two won.This week, Elena, Angela, Rob, Catherine, and Nikki unpack what actually happened at Cannes versus what just made headlines. The team shares why intelligence-gathering, not glamour, is the real reason to attend, and how AI is quietly reshaping ad tech products behind the scenes. They also weigh in on where live sports, retail media, and creator marketing genuinely fit into an effectiveness-driven strategy versus where they're overhyped. Marketers will walk away knowing which Cannes trends deserve real budget attention and which are just award-show noise. Topics covered:[02:00] Why Marketing Architects decided to start attending Cannes[04:00] The real gap between Cannes glamour and the actual work[13:00] How AI is quietly reshaping ad tech products[14:00] Live sports as a growth opportunity, not a silver bullet[17:00] Why competing streaming platforms are all facing the same challenges[21:00] Retail media and creator marketing: tools, not full strategies[24:00] Cannes' new award for long-term creative consistencyTo learn more, visit marketingarchitects.com/podcast or subscribe to our newsletter at marketingarchitects.com/newsletter.  Resources:2026 The Drum Article: https://www.thedrum.com/opinion/andrew-tindall-what-ritson-and-sharp-got-right-and-wrong-at-cannesGet more research-backed marketing strategies by subscribing to The Marketing Architects on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

What to listen for:“You can still support your dog, but you do not have to step in and solve [the problem].”Our hosts, Robin Greubel and Stacy Barnett, sit down with returning guest Bob Deeds to unpack a week of Intentional Handling and Hide Setting, the detection camp the two hosts built years ago and this year expanded to fifteen students running six searches a day!Held on Robin's working farm, the course throws teams (Papillons alongside Malinois, cadaver handlers alongside sport dog people) into barns full of donkey dung, hay fields, and wind that Bob, fresh from Texas, learns shifts hourly in Iowa.Hides "misbehave": they migrate, vanish with the moving sun, or disappear when a tractor pulls away from a scent pool.Rather than solving the problem for their dogs, handlers are coached to read arousal. The dog owns exactly one job, the trained behavior; the handler owns everything else.By week's end, students are setting their own hides, and handling that once looked frantic becomes nearly invisible. That's proof, Bob argues, that intentional handling builds teamwork rather than dependence.Homework matters as much as class time, too. Students now film their runs and coaching, and by day four they're self-correcting before anyone says a word. There's been so much success this year that Robin, Stacy, and Bob are already looking toward next year's version of the course! Key Topics:A Bigger, Reimagined Intentional Handling and Hide Setting Week (01:39)Building Systematic Toughness (04:56)When Hides Misbehave: Wind, Sun, and a Living Working Farm (10:50)Trainer Ethics and Why Students Should Design Their Own Hides (18:49)The Bowling Alley Analogy and a Live Lesson in Canine Stress Signals (25:23)The Wagon Wheel, Heads-Up Display, and Handler Challenges (30:50)The Donut of Effectiveness and Cyclical "Spinning Plates" Training (40:34)Key Takeaways (44:02)We want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Detection Dog Trainer AcademyK9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

Rick Flynn spent three decades building Flynn & Company into one of Cincinnati's most respected CPA firms — then sold it. On this episode of What Gives, Erin Satzger sits down with Rick Flynn, now a partner at UHY, the 26th-largest accounting firm in the country, to unpack the whole arc: caddying at Kenwood Country Club, ten years cutting his teeth at EY, the itch to go out on his own in 1994, and the leadership pivot that turned Flynn & Company from a revolving door into a place people built careers.Rick also gets into his other big bet: Warsaw Federal, the Price Hill savings bank he helped pull out of regulatory trouble and turn into Cincinnati's first Minority Depository Institution — funding the Warsaw Federal Incline Theater along the way.And because Rick was a founding business behind what's now the Northern Cincinnati Foundation, the conversation turns to community, philanthropy, AI's role in accounting and giving, and why more choices — in banking, in CPA firms, in everything — make communities stronger.Topics covered:Growing up in the region and learning the ropes under mentor Bob Foppe at Kenwood Country ClubTen years at EY and the decision to go out on his ownBuilding a firm that keeps people instead of burning them outThe Warsaw Federal turnaround and becoming a Minority Depository InstitutionSelling Flynn & Company to UHY — and why "choice" mattered more than the paycheckAI's impact on accounting, philanthropy, and small businessWhat's in Rick's bug-out bag (it's not what you'd guess)What Gives is a production of the Northern Cincinnati Foundation, telling the stories of the business and civic leaders driving economic development across the region.Hashtags#WhatGivesPodcast #NorthernCincinnatiFoundation #CincinnatiBusiness #Philanthropy #Accounting #CPAFirm #Leadership #SmallBusiness #Cincinnati #CommunityFoundation #MergersAndAcquisitions #PriceHill #WarsawFederal #EconomicDevelopment #WestChesterOH

SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 7-20-26John Batchelor with Bill Roggio and Husain Haqqani. This discussion addresses the escalating conflict between the United States and Iran. The participants analyze the effectiveness of American air power, concluding that bombing campaigns alone cannot achieve regime change without a massive ground presence that the U.S. currently lacks the political will to deploy. The conversation highlights regional vulnerabilities, specifically the threat posed by Iranian drones and the potential closure of vital maritime choke points like the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb. Additionally, the panel addresses the difficulty of building a credible Iranian resistance and the ongoing challenge of neutralizing Hamas leadership now operating from Turkey. Ultimately, the experts characterize the situation as a war of vanities with no clear exit strategy for either side.

Leadership isn’t about managing time. It’s about making better choices. That is the central message from Christina Olivier, co-founder and Managing Partner of Excelerant, whose thoughtful conversation on Discover Lafayette challenges many of the assumptions we make about work, productivity, and success. Christina co-founded Excelerant in 2003 with business partner Elise Bouchner after realizing that growing companies needed more than legal advice or technical expertise, they needed leaders who knew how to develop people. What began as The Training Source evolved into Excelerant, an award-winning, woman-owned leadership development and organizational consulting firm serving organizations throughout Louisiana and beyond through executive coaching, leadership development, succession planning, team building, and organizational effectiveness. Excelerant quickly grew to include partners Jill Adcock, Phyllis Arceneaux, and Jill Meaux. Our conversation moves well beyond business coaching. Christina offers practical wisdom for anyone feeling overwhelmed by competing priorities, struggling to say no, or wondering why there never seems to be enough time. One of the first ideas she reframes is the phrase “time management.” Referencing Stephen Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Christina explains that she prefers the term “time effectiveness.” “We all have the same 24 hours in our day. It’s how we spend that time, and if we spend it as effectively as possible, that makes the difference.” Rather than trying to squeeze more activity into every hour, she encourages people to become intentional about where their energy is invested. “What I’ve noticed is that most people don’t stop to think about how they are spending their time,” she says. “You wonder why you’re tired, or you wonder why you’re burnt out, or you wonder why you’re not getting to those things that you want to do.” Throughout our discussion, Christina repeatedly returns to the importance of self-awareness. Before any planner, productivity system, or coaching exercise can help, people must honestly examine whether they’re spending time on what matters most—and whether those choices actually bring them joy. As an executive coach credentialed through the International Coaching Federation, Christina works with successful professionals who want to become even more effective. She explains that coaching isn’t about giving answers. “In coaching, we hold that our clients are whole and resourceful. We’re just helping them find their own answers.” That process begins by helping clients identify what success would actually look like six or twelve months into the future and then removing the obstacles standing in their way. Christina shares one of her favorite coaching analogies involving a small airplane that is too heavy to stay safely in the air. Every passenger must throw one “role” overboard to survive. Those roles might include committee chair, volunteer, employee, spouse, parent, or community leader. The exercise forces people to identify which commitments truly deserve their limited time and which have simply accumulated over the years. The lesson naturally leads to one of the most powerful themes of our conversation: learning to say no. Drawing again from Stephen Covey, Christina introduces the concept she and her team use regularly: “Integrity in the moment of choice.” “Every no you’re saying is because there’s a bigger yes inside.” That “yes” may be spending more time with children or grandchildren, caring for aging parents, protecting personal health, or simply creating space to think. The challenge is recognizing that every commitment carries an opportunity cost. Christina also speaks candidly about perfectionism, particularly among professional women. She questions the belief that “if it has to be done right, it has to be done by me.” Instead, she encourages leaders to lower unrealistic standards where appropriate, delegate more intentionally, and invest the time necessary to develop others. Her advice to leaders is straightforward: “You can’t be too busy doing the work to train and develop others.” Otherwise, organizations become dependent on one individual while employees never have the opportunity to grow. Another recurring theme is presence. In today’s distracted world, Christina believes one of the greatest gifts leaders can give employees, colleagues, friends, and family members is their complete attention. “Putting down the device when someone walks in… there’s also a great benefit and maybe a stillness that you receive by not multitasking.”She distinguishes between efficiency and effectiveness with a memorable observation: “With people, you can’t be efficient. You can only be effective.” That perspective extends into how organizations communicate across generations. Rather than criticizing younger employees for preferring text messages, Christina recommends “co-designing” communication expectations—meeting people where they are while establishing mutually beneficial ways of connecting. The discussion also explores practical ways to slow down in a fast-paced world. Although Christina once believed meditation wasn’t for her, she now incorporates grounding, centering, and intentional breathing into her daily routine. She emphasizes that meditation doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it is simply placing both feet on the floor, taking several intentional breaths, and allowing yourself to become present before moving into the next activity. She also recommends what she calls a “transition pause”: Finish what you’re doing. Put down the device. Take three intentional breaths. Then arrive fully present for whatever comes next. That simple practice, she believes, helps leaders become more thoughtful, more connected, and ultimately more effective. Our conversation also explores succession planning, an increasingly important issue for Louisiana businesses. Christina describes Excelerant’s work helping family-owned companies, financial institutions, and publicly traded organizations identify future leaders through assessments, coaching, mentoring, and leadership development. Rather than assuming who should lead next, Excelerant helps organizations objectively evaluate strengths and prepare the next generation for success. Toward the close of our interview, Christina shares one final reminder that resonates long after the microphones are turned off. Sometimes the greatest productivity tool isn’t another app, another meeting, or another committee. It’s simply becoming aware. As Christina says, “The first step…is to be self-aware.” Whether you’re leading a Fortune 500 company, managing a small business, serving on nonprofit boards, or simply trying to create more balance in your own life, Christina Olivier offers practical insights that remind us success isn’t measured by how busy we are, but by how intentionally we choose to spend the time we’ve been given.

Episode 3075: Kristen Manieri reflects on how a well-organized marriage gradually became more about efficiency than genuine connection, revealing why simply sharing a home isn't the same as truly being together. Drawing on insights from Gottman and marriage therapy, she shows how small moments of intentional presence can strengthen a relationship far more than checking another task off a list.

Depression is often treated as a single condition. But two people with the same diagnosis can have completely different underlying causes. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I'm rejoined by Dr. James Greenblatt to explore why depression may be less of a disease and more of a signal that something deeper is going on. We discuss how a root-cause approach can uncover what's driving symptoms and why finding what's beneath them matters. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. We discuss: Could nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, or gut issues be contributing to symptoms of depression What tests can help uncover the biological factors that may be affecting mood and mental health Why can two people with depression have different root causes—and require different solutions How do blood sugar imbalances, hormone changes, and metabolic health influence the brain What should you know about antidepressants, tapering, and addressing the factors that may affect recovery Hope doesn't come from ignoring symptoms—it comes from understanding them. Sometimes the most important question isn't "What's wrong with me?" but "What might my body be trying to tell me?" One of the key themes in this conversation is that mental health is deeply connected to what's happening throughout the body. In my Brainshaping Academy, you'll learn how to support the biological systems that shape cognitive, emotional, and mental well-being. View Show Notes From This Episode Depression symptoms aren't always just “in your head.” Dr. Hyman's Brainshaping Academy shows how your gut, immune system, and nutrient levels may be responsible—and what you can do about it. → https://drhyman.com/products/brainshaping?utm_source=dr_hyman_show&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=may_27&utm_content=link Get Free Weekly Health Tips from Dr. Hyman https://drhyman.com/pages/picks?utm_campaign=shownotes&utm_medium=banner&utm_source=podcast Sign Up for Dr. Hyman's Weekly Longevity Journal https://drhyman.com/pages/longevity?utm_campaign=shownotes&utm_medium=banner&utm_source=podcast Join the 10-Day Detox to Reset Your Health https://drhyman.com/pages/10-day-detox Join the Hyman Hive for Expert Support and Real Results https://drhyman.com/pages/hyman-hive This episode is brought to you by Seed, Made In Cookware, Perfect Amino, BON CHARGE, and Big Bold Health.Go to seed.com/hyman and use code 20HYMAN to get 20% off your first month.Visit madeincookware.com and use code HYMAN10 for 10% off your order.Go to bodyhealth.com and use code HYMAN20 to get 20% off your first order.Head to boncharge.com/hyman and use code HYMAN for 15% off.Go to bigboldhealth.com/drhyman and use code HYMAN15 to save 15% on your first order.
