In this solo episode, inspired by a Patreon community member, Victoria reflects on what it means to be a "lazy hard worker"—someone who swings between periods of doing "nothing" and burning the candle at both ends. Through personal reflections, she explores the difference between moving slowly and being truly stuck, the fears that can fuel procrastination and perfectionism, and how understanding our own temperament, rhythms, and needs can help us find a more sustainable middle path.

Normally on this show, I'm the one teaching or asking the questions — but today I flipped the script. This is actually a conversation from my wife Shay's podcast, Better Way to Build, where she interviewed me. And we didn't hold back. After 20 years of marriage and 17-plus years of both of us running our own separate businesses, we got real about the actual cost of entrepreneurship — the stuff nobody puts in the highlight reel. Contentment, connection, peace — what it's taken from us, and what it's given us. So stick around, because this one's more vulnerable than what you're used to from me.

Effort or Outcome? Do you focus on the effort someone puts forth? Or do you look at their outcome? Just because someone does something doesn't mean you get a good result. The government is one example. Restaurant service with a guaranteed gratuity is another. In this episode, we talk about Europeans in America, legislation introduced to benefit AI companies, Israel, and more. There are artificial hurdles or governmental hurdles that sometimes must be overcome, but there is also physical limitations that can not be overcome. We also talk about competition, value, and using logic instead of emotion. Use these lessons to make your world a better place!

It's hard to believe we're already halfway through 2026. One thing I've learned over the years is that time is going to keep moving whether we're paying attention or not. That's why I've made it a habit to set annual goals, revisit them regularly, and share my progress publicly. At the end of 2025, I shared my personal and business goals for 2026. Now that we've reached the halfway point of the year, it's time for a check-in. In this episode, I'm giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what's working, what's not, what goals are on track, and where I need to refocus for the second half of the year. We'll talk about everything from health goals and reducing stress to business growth, podcast downloads, content creation, and the realities of running a business in today's economy. My hope is that this episode encourages you to pause and do your own mid-year review. Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is stop, reflect, and make intentional adjustments before the year gets away from you.   In this episode, we discuss: Progress toward my personal health and wellness goals What I've learned about slowing down, reducing stress, and prioritizing recovery My progress toward maxing out my Roth IRA in 2026 Why my honeymoon and wedding plans have shifted Efforts to reduce screen time and be more intentional with technology What the first half of 2026 has taught me about managing a full life The current state of City Girl Savings and our business goals Revenue, profitability, and navigating economic uncertainty Podcast growth, content creation, and audience building Why consistency matters even when results take longer than expected The mindset I'm carrying into the second half of the year   This episode is especially helpful if you: Set goals at the beginning of the year and haven't revisited them Feel behind on your personal or financial goals Want motivation to reset and refocus for the second half of the year Are working toward health, money, or business goals Need a reminder that progress isn't always linear Want a realistic look at what goal pursuit actually looks like   Why this matters: Too many people treat goals like a January activity. They set ambitious intentions, get excited for a few weeks, and then never revisit them until December. But real progress happens when you're willing to check in honestly along the way. A mid-year review isn't about judging yourself for what hasn't happened yet. It's about recognizing what's working, acknowledging what needs adjustment, and deciding how you want to move forward. Some goals will be ahead of schedule. Some will be behind. Some may need to change entirely. That's not failure. That's life. The goal isn't perfection. The goal is staying engaged with the life you're trying to build. Often, the willingness to reassess and adjust is what ultimately creates the results you're looking for.   Timestamps: [02:21] Raya breaks down her progress on her first personal goal of 2026 – improving her health for long-term functioning. This goal was harder to measure, but indicators of growth exist. [06:03] Raya's honeymoon and courthouse wedding timeframe has been pushed out. This goal likely will not be achieved in 2026.  [10:57] After 5 months of no breaks in daily workouts, Raya learned she needs to prioritize recovery (which means more frequent traveling)! [14:36] A business goal is to increase newsletter growth by 20%. Currently, this goal is trending about 4%. Raya shares things that can help improve this before the year ends.   Resources Mentioned: Episode #209: My Personal and Business Goals for 2026 Request a free money call with Raya City Girl Savings Personal Finance Portfolio Financial Focus Coaching Program   If you've been feeling behind on your goals, consider this your reminder that there's still plenty of year left. You don't need to wait until January to reset. You don't need a perfect first half of the year to have a strong second half. The truth is, most meaningful progress doesn't happen in a straight line. Some goals move faster than expected. Others take longer. Some priorities shift completely because life shifts. One of the biggest lessons I've learned over the years is that goals aren't just about achieving an outcome. They're about who you become in the process. They're about building consistency, learning from setbacks, making adjustments, and continuing to move forward even when things don't go exactly according to plan. So if you've fallen behind in an area of your life, give yourself permission to be honest about where you are without judging yourself for it. Then decide what the next best step looks like from here. Maybe that means recommitting to a goal. Maybe it means adjusting the goal. Maybe it means celebrating progress you've overlooked because you're too focused on what hasn't happened yet. Whatever your situation, don't let the first half of the year determine the second half. Take time to reflect. Acknowledge how far you've come. Make the adjustments you need to make. Then keep building. Remember: You are not behind…you are building. Consistency compounds. The steady work you're doing now is shaping your next level.

A police National Security Group senior staff member has faced a grilling today over what efforts were made to divert LynnMall attacker Ahamed Samsudeen from the path of violent extremism. Samsudeen was shot dead by police in a West Auckland Woolworths supermarket after stabbing shoppers in September 2021. The coronial inquest into his death is examining his path to extremism and the time leading up to the attack. Finn Blackwell reports.   

Charles Spicer recounts how, at the Nuremberg trials, Ribbentrop tried to use his pre-war Fellowship efforts as a defense, claiming he had always worked for peace. Göring remained unrepentant, while Hess insisted on wearing his flying boots in the witness box. Spicer notes that after the war, Vansittart and the Foreign Office obscured their connections to the German resistance to avoid admitting that more energetic diplomacy might have prevented the conflict. The Oster Conspiracy of 1938 is highlighted as a more effective, though overlooked, opportunity than the famous 1944 bomb plot, as Hitler's grip on power was not yet absolute during the earlier crisis.

In this episode, Greg examines Alabama Senator Katie Britt's GAME Act, legislation designed to protect children and teenagers from the growing flood of online gambling advertisements. He explains how the modern gambling industry's business model often depends on attracting users at an early age, increasing the likelihood of creating lifelong customers and, for some, gambling addiction.Greg explores why this issue matters for families, what the proposed legislation would do, and why protecting minors from predatory gambling marketing should be a priority for policymakers and parents alike.

Join Elevated GP: theelevatedgp.com Dental Digest Podcast | Episode 189: Mastering Dental Light Curing and Polymerization Host: Dr. Melissa Seibert Guest: Dr. Richard Price (Dentist, PhD, clinical scientist, and professor at Dalhousie University) Episode Overview In this episode, Dr. Melissa Seibert sits down with leading authority Dr. Richard Price to clear up the most common mistakes dental professionals make when light curing . From the truth about warming composites to the physics of energy delivery and the emerging realities of laser curing tech, this episode is a deep dive into evidence-based protocols that directly impact the longevity of your daily restorations . Key Discussion Points 1. Avoid the #1 Light Curing Mistake Follow the Minimums: The most common mistake in clinical practice is not curing for the manufacturer's recommended time . Read the Instructions: Always check instructions for both your specific bonding agent and the composite resin you are using . Minimum vs. Maximum: Remember that the manufacturer-recommended times are the absolute minimum requirements, not the maximums . 2. The Truth About Warming Composite Adaptation, Not Curing: Dr. Price is a major advocate for warming composite because it significantly improves material adaptation, leading to fewer voids and gaps . No Mechanical Upgrades: Warming composite does not actually drive the polymerization reaction further or improve final mechanical properties . Rapid Heat Loss: Because composite is a poor thermal conductor, it loses its heat incredibly fast . By the time a dentist squirts, inserts, and sculpts the material, it has already cooled down to mouth temperature, neutralizing any curing benefits . Pulpal Safety: Studies show that while warming composite itself does not cause pulpal damage, using curing lights that deliver heavy red and infrared light can produce the greatest temperature rises in the pulp . A temperature increase of 5°C to 6°C can lead to pulp necrosis . 3. Managing Deep 6mm Restorations The Bulk Fill Strategy: For a deep gingival floor (e.g., 6mm deep), Dr. Price recommends placing a 4mm layer of bulk fill composite as the first increment . Translucency Trade-offs: Bulk fill materials allow more light to pass through due to higher translucency, though this can sometimes make the restoration look gray in the mouth . The Hybrid Layering Technique: To achieve both an assured deep cure and optimal aesthetics, place a 4mm bulk fill base followed by a 2mm layer of conventional aesthetic composite on top . Shade Variations: Be aware that dentin or darker shades (like A6B) often require twice the curing time (e.g., 20 seconds vs. 10 seconds) and must be placed in thinner increments (e.g., 1.5mm vs. 2mm) compared to enamel and body shades . 4. The Math of Curing: Total Energy Formula Energy Calculation: Total energy is calculated by multiplying the curing light's irradiance by the exposure time ($text{Energy} = text{Irradiance} times text{Time}$) . Joules Matter: If a manufacturer requires 10 Joules per centimeter squared ($text{J/cm}^2$), a standard curing light emitting $1,000 text{ mW/cm}^2$ requires a 10-second cure . High-Intensity Traps: To deliver that same energy in a abbreviated 3-second cure, a light must output at least $3,333 text{ mW/cm}^2$ . Most conventional curing lights max out around $3,000 text{ mW/cm}^2$ . Advanced Technology & Safety Concerns Laser Curing Lights Distance Resistant: Laser curing lights are highly effective over long distances and are relatively unaffected by the physical gap between the tip and the tooth . Pinpoint Limitations: The main downside to current laser technology is the narrow, pinpoint beam profile; it offers high irradiance at the dead center but fails to provide a broad, uniform cure across the edges of a restoration . Extreme Optical Hazard: If a laser light accidentally flashes into an operator's, assistant's, or patient's eyes, it can cause immediate, permanent blindness . Strict eye protection is mandatory . The Blue Light Hazard Photo Retinitis: While it is unproven if dental LED lights directly cause macular degeneration, they are highly documented to cause photo retinitis, which presents as lingering "after-images" or spots in your vision . Sleep Disruption: Exposure to intense blue light is proven to severely disrupt human circadian rhythms and sleep patterns . Protection Necessary: Dentists must actively protect their eyes by using orange shields or specialized protective glasses rather than looking away blindly . Dr. Price's Step-by-Step Clinical Curing Protocol Initial Hover: Start the curing cycle 2 to 3 mm away from the tooth for the first 1 to 2 seconds . This quickly hardens the top layer and protects your sculpted anatomy from being disturbed . Close Contact: Bring the curing light tip in as close as possible, making direct contact with the surface . Finger Stabilization: Use a two-handed technique, utilizing your fingers over the restoration to physically stabilize the curing tip so it cannot drift if the patient moves . Thermal Breaks: High-power lights generate intense heat . If using a powerful light for a mandatory 20-second cure, break it up (e.g., 10 seconds on, a brief pause, then 10 seconds on) to protect the tissue . Cooling Air: Blow a stream of air across the tooth between curing increments to actively mitigate heat buildup . Never use water, as unpolymerized composite is highly hydrophobic . Multi-Angle Curing: Once the matrix band is removed on a Class II restoration, always cure again from both the buccal and lingual aspects to eliminate shadows cast by prep walls or remaining matrices . Overlapping Exposures: Standard light tips should be at least 10mm in diameter . If a restoration is wider than your light tip, perform multiple overlapping exposures to ensure the peripheral margins are fully cured .

Today's guest introduces us to the concept of capacity: the gap between the effort someone puts in and the impact they get out. You'll learn why capacity isn't a fixed container, like a gas tank or battery, but a nervous-system bandwidth that is completely trainable. You'll discover how a coach's own dysregulation bleeds into the coaching relationship through nervous system co-regulation, and why two clients can present with identical stated goals. At the same time, one is ready for strategy and the other needs nervous system regulation first, and how coaches can learn to read “the thing beneath the thing.” Join us for practical strategies, a “feel-think-do” framework, and the path to your free capacity report card self-assessment. Dr. Lizette Warner is a keynote speaker and leadership capacity expert who helps organizations solve the effort-to-impact disconnect so they can build cultures where people make a bigger impact with less effort, while increasing engagement and retention. With a PhD. in Biomedical Engineering, 20+ years of executive leadership experience in science and health technology, and certification as a Master Certified Coach through the ICF, Lizette sits at a rare intersection of scientific precision, executive credibility, and embodied transformation. Her Hashimoto's diagnosis, an autoimmune condition she now understands as her body's response to years of unregulated performance, was the turning point that reoriented everything she knew about achievement and performance. Today, she speaks at corporate conferences, leadership retreats, and executive events on topics including leadership under pressure, high-performance culture, decision-making, and workplace resilience.

Mentioned in this episode:Mentor ProgramIf you're working toward your ACC or PCC credential, or if it's time to recertify your ACC mentor, coaching isn't just a requirement on a checklist. It's one of the most transformative investments you can make in yourself and your coaching. I've taught or mentored over 2000 coaches, and I hear the same thing again and again. I came because I had to, and I am so glad that I did. Coaches tell me they walk away with renewed energy, deeper confidence and a community of peers who genuinely support each other. Here's what you need to know right now. Mentor coaching must span a minimum of three months, so the time to start is not when your credential is just about to expire. And if you complete your hours in 2026, you get ahead of the upcoming ICF changes, which means peace of mind along with skill development. My fall cohort is already filling up.

The Small Business Administration is ramping up its relationship with Palantir, announcing a “new phase” in its anti-fraud work with the data analytics and software giant. In a press release Tuesday, the SBA said it's formalizing and expanding its work with Palantir after signing a $300,000 contract in January for a fraud prevention pilot and bootcamp. That deal had a projected end date of April 4, but the agency said in the release that the “collaboration” with Palantir will now continue through “ongoing efforts to identify, investigate, and help prosecute fraud in pandemic-era small business relief programs.” The agency pointed specifically to its Paycheck Protection Program and COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan program as areas previously beset by fraud. SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler said in a statement that the Palantir partnership “will strengthen our ability to expose fraudulent actors, support criminal enforcement actions, and recover stolen funds with advanced technology and artificial intelligence.” “No amount of fraud is acceptable — whether it is $10,000 or $10 million — which is why the SBA is deploying these tools to accelerate our work to surface wrongdoing and ensure those who cheated taxpayer-funded programs face consequences,” she added. The National Institutes of Health selected Kristen Honey, a longtime government data and technology official, to head up its coordination of public-private research partnerships. In a social media post, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT announced Honey as the inaugural official in the NIH role. As part of her duties, Honey will help “to build robust partnership models, reduce duplication, improve transparency, and move promising ideas from concept to execution with greater speed and consistency in collaboration with” ONC and across the department, per the post. The chief partnerships officer role is housed in the Office of the Director's Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives, per the post. “The ‘wicked problems' that I run toward—complex, interdisciplinary challenges no one wants to own and that require cross-sector solutions—just got bigger. Joining NIH as Chief Partnerships Officer,” Honey said in a LinkedIn post. Honey has served in various HHS and White House roles over the past decade — including as HHS's chief data officer. Honey was initially installed as CDO after President Joe Biden's administration reorganization of its IT, data and artificial intelligence portfolio. Her time as CDO, however, appears to have ended after the Trump administration undid that reorganization in March, per her LinkedIn. Since then, she has listed her role as senior executive service. Currently, Arman Sharma, HHS's deputy chief AI officer, is listed as the agency's top data official on the CDO Council webpage. The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

(Jul 15, 2026) Many Indigenous traditions have been passed down for generations, but centuries of land loss and forced assimilation have disrupted that connection. We hear from a filmmaker in Akwesasne who's documenting the people working to bring those traditions back, ahead of her film showing in Lake Placid tonight. Also: Local activists say ICE detained two more workers in Lake Placid this week, after 21 were detained last month.

Storytelling isn't just a buzzword in the world of sales, it's a transformative tool that can turn mundane pitches into memorable, persuasive conversations. This week, I bring together industry experts Mark Smyth, Kristie Jones, and Park Howell to share their top storytelling do's and don'ts for sales professionals. Whether you struggle to keep your stories concise, want to captivate your audience, or wonder how to make your data more compelling, this episode will give you actionable advice and inspiring real-world examples.   Outline of This Episode   [01:40] Guide the audience, don't make yourself the hero  [05:59] Effort versus outcome and impact of the story  [07:53] Use your special storytelling skills  [14:14] Think outside the box; stories do not have to be business-related to resonate and deliver a point  [16:35] Help your audience imagine a brighter future through stories  [18:19] Don't dismiss storytelling as a gimmick—storytelling differentiates and builds urgency  [20:39] Turning data into engaging drama  The Secret Sauce in Sales  "Don't repel, do compel"—that's the mantra Mark brings. He urges sales professionals to avoid overwhelming their audience with dry data and instead use storytelling to clarify and motivate. He also encourages listeners to "be the flashlight," guiding prospects toward their own wins rather than hogging the spotlight. Keep it simple. Multiple narratives muddy the message; a focused, singular story sticks. The smallest, most honest stories can leave the biggest impact, so never underestimate the power of sharing your story. Play to Your Strengths Know your audience. Make it relevant, and for Kristie, the pillars of great storytelling begin with understanding who you're talking to and ensuring your tale matters to them. She highlights the importance of using your own style, whether that's humor or suspense, and cautions against stories that may alienate or bore. Keep stories crisp, edit ruthlessly, and resist the urge to use anecdotes for every point. Sellers should test and find their true fit, and remember that personal stories often resonate powerfully in a business context. Her advice is not to be afraid to step outside purely business anecdotes to forge real connections. The ABT Framework Wins the Day Park Howell champions the ABT (And-But-Therefore) method to hone storytelling, emphasizing the need to understand your prospect in a godlike way and to use emotion-rich images, not bullet points, to lock in your message. He says that a tight, focused story is what your audience remembers. On the other hand, he also warns against assuming you're already a good storyteller or treating stories as gimmicks. Park shares an excellent real-world example of transforming a dull pitch into a magnetic, customer-centered ABT narrative shows how story structure can directly influence sales outcomes. Stories bridge the gap between marketing hype and real-life results.

In 2011, the Ugandan Government asked The Giving Circle in Saratoga to visit a village referred to as “the forgotten people – the poorest village in Uganda.” The Giving Circle responded by improving sanitation, building a school, a nursing/midwife clinic, and a communal kitchen for shared meals. They worked with the residents to set up sustainable farming to provide badly needed income. In 2014 The Giving Circle stepped in to help a struggling primary school in Kagoma, Uganda. Ron Deutsch talks with Mark Dunlea of Hudson Mohawk Magazine about the Giving Circle's recent trip to Uganda.

This week the crew covers everything from beach vacations and superhero movies to fascinating new discoveries about the human brain and the future of artificial intelligence. Devon reports back from a family-filled Mississippi beach trip, Steven shares his thoughts on Supergirl, Ben highlights listener feedback and celebrates a birthday, and the science discussion dives into how anesthetized brains may be doing far more than we ever imagined. Then the conversation shifts into the strange world of AI's "latent space" and why it may become one of humanity's most important creative tools. Real Life Ben starts things off by wishing a very happy birthday to longtime listener Hank before sharing some thoughtful listener feedback from Episode 615. We always appreciate hearing what everyone thinks, so keep those comments coming! You can read the feedback here: https://sciencefactionpodcast.com/2026/07/01/episode-615-spreading-the-word-of-totally-local-ai/#comment-151 Devon returns from a family vacation in Long Beach, Mississippi. Between the huge gathering of relatives, plenty of kids running around, and an incredibly shallow beach stretching nearly a mile into the Gulf, it was the perfect destination for a laid-back family getaway. Steven finally catches Supergirl and discovers a movie that lands squarely in the middle of the review spectrum. While online opinions seemed split between "masterpiece" and "disaster," the film ended up being... fine. The crew discusses its themes surrounding human trafficking and the metaphor of women having their power stripped away, while also pointing out that the constant switching of powers eventually became distracting. Despite its flaws, everyone agrees the performances, visual effects, and sound design were excellent, with Ben giving special praise to the imaginative creature designs. Future or Now Devon brings a study that challenges what we thought we knew about consciousness. Researchers discovered that people under general anesthesia may continue processing language at a surprisingly sophisticated level. Even while completely unconscious, patients could distinguish different types of words and showed neural activity suggesting they were predicting upcoming words before hearing them. The findings raise fascinating questions about what consciousness really is and could eventually influence both anesthesia research and future brain-computer interfaces. Read more: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/06/260624025514.htm Ben explores Kevin Kelly's idea that latent space is becoming an entirely new creative medium. Rather than acting as giant databases that memorize information, modern AI models compress enormous amounts of human knowledge into abstract mathematical relationships. This "latent space" becomes something people can navigate—moving between concepts, artistic styles, scientific ideas, or even alternate histories. Kelly argues that this shared conceptual landscape could become a platform for scientific discovery, personalized AI systems, and entirely new ways of thinking, where generating ideas and thinking become nearly the same process. Read Kevin Kelly's article here: https://kevinkelly.substack.com/p/latent-space-as-a-new-medium Steven wraps up the discussion with a practical example of AI in everyday life, explaining how it helped troubleshoot and update his Raspberry Pi Pi-hole installation. What could have been a frustrating afternoon of terminal commands and Linux troubleshooting turned into a quick collaborative problem-solving session, highlighting how AI can be just as useful for practical technical tasks as it is for creative ones.

Man, this one’s special. Doug Champion is back on the show for round two, and honestly, this is exactly why I love doing this podcast — you meet someone, you have a great conversation, and a year later you’re picking right back up like no time passed at all. If you don’t know Doug, he’s the guy behind Champion Living, building the first real athlete development system for rodeo — fitness, nutrition, mental training, the whole thing — because for way too long rodeo has been behind the curve compared to sports like motocross when it comes to taking care of its athletes. His brother Richie Champion is a legend in bareback riding, nine-time NFR qualifier, and Doug just watched him ride his last horses ever at the Calgary Stampede. That story alone is worth the price of admission — chills, dude. But this conversation goes so much deeper than rodeo. We get into the real stuff: what it actually costs to build a business that’s bigger than you, the guilt of missing time with your kids while you’re out chasing elk or building something for your family’s future, losing a dog that raised you into adulthood, and the discipline it takes to stop lying to yourself about why things keep going sideways. We also get into hunting — my brutal 2024 season, tracking a bull nine miles after he got up and walked off, Doug’s buddy Travis and the giant mule deer that got away (and then didn’t), and why I’m changing my whole approach this year to actually see more animals instead of just walking more miles. This is one of those episodes where we start talking about rodeo and end up talking about life. Grab your coffee, settle in, and let’s get after it. Sponsors onX Hunt Big shoutout to onX for this episode. They just rolled out a new Share feature inside the Go Track section of the app — think old-school Garmin Rino “see your buddy on the map” tech, but done right for 2024. You and your hunting partner can now share your live location with each other right in the app (works when you’re in service, so keep that in mind). It’s a small feature but a genuinely useful one if you hunt with a crew. Check it out at onxmaps.com and use code TRO for a discount on your membership. Bridger Watch This one’s personal — I’ve been building this thing for a long time and I’m proud of what it’s become. Bridger Watch is a smartwatch built specifically for hunters. It does everything a normal smartwatch does (health tracking, fitness, texts) but the mapping is where it separates itself — best-in-class offline maps on a wearable, and a direct integration with onX so you can send waypoints, tracks, and markups straight to your watch. Park your truck, drop a waypoint in onX, send it to your wrist — now if your phone dies or you lose it, you’ve still got your way back. It’s not trying to replace your phone maps, it’s the backup you didn’t know you needed. Go check it out at bridgerwatch.com Timestamps 00:00 – Sponsors: onX Hunt’s new Share feature & Bridger Watch’s smartwatch/onX integration 03:30 – Welcome back, Doug! Catching up a year later 05:00 – Doug’s all-in on hunting now — the struggle of finding time to scout with a growing business 10:00 – Burnout, growing a “lifestyle business” into a real company, and redefining what leveling up looks like 14:00 – The guilt of stepping away from the kids, and why the newborn years might actually be easier 18:00 – The 40th birthday Baldy lap story — missing fireworks, and what your kids actually see when you chase big goals 21:00 – What’s driving the business boom — investing in mentorship and the Alex Hormozi workshop 24:00 – Richie Champion’s final rodeo at the Calgary Stampede — the 90-point ride, the old horse, and an ending you couldn’t script 30:00 – Losing a 16-year-old dog, leaning into faith, and the journaling/affirmation practice that changed everything 36:00 – Business wins piling up — the Hooey collab, PBR partnership talks, and the new Montana State rodeo development program 39:00 – Why rodeo culture is behind other sports on fitness (and the motocross parallel) 44:00 – What actually separates great athletes at 22 — fearlessness, trainability, and coming to terms with risk 47:00 – Doug’s comeback from a broken back — seven years off, CrossFit, and the best ride of his life 50:00 – Cody’s rough 2024 season — a release malfunction, and tracking a bull nine miles after a bad shot 53:00 – 2024 plans: Utah spike hunt, general tags, Travis’s giant mule deer story, and using LandTrust to find new ground 56:00 – Closing thoughts on staying present, choosing positivity, and where to find the Champion Living x Hooey collab Three Key Takeaways Discipline beats intensity, every time. Both Doug and Cody hammer the same point from two totally different worlds (rodeo and elk hunting): the guys who succeed aren’t the ones grinding 80 hours a week or hiking 20 miles a day — they’re the ones being methodical, controlling what they can control, and getting a little better every single day. Effort without direction just burns you out. Presence is a practice, not a personality trait. Doug’s shift toward journaling, writing daily affirmations, and consciously catching negative thought patterns didn’t happen overnight — it took months before he noticed a real shift. The takeaway: rewiring how you show up for your business, your family, and yourself is trainable, even if it feels slow and unglamorous at first. The guilt of chasing your goals doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. Whether it’s missing a birthday for a training run or being gone during hunting season, both guys wrestle with feeling like they’re stealing time from their families. But as Doug’s own kid showed him — sometimes what looks like absence to you looks like inspiration to them.

Let's figure this out.Nicole Whalen, founder of Green Compass, is revolutionizing urban sustainability by tackling one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions: buildings. During today's episode, Nicole explained how her company uses an innovative approach to retrofit commercial properties in Washington, D.C., turning asphalt-covered cities into vibrant green spaces.“At least 70% of the city's emissions come from the building sector,” Nicole shared. “Green Compass retrofits them to be no and low carbon, combining clean energy and clean water solutions.”The standout feature of Green Compass's work is its emphasis on green stormwater infrastructure. Nicole's team installs rain gardens, infiltration trenches, and tree canopies to manage runoff water naturally. Their proprietary stormwater retention credit system incentivizes property owners to adopt greener systems by creating financial rewards for reducing pollution and preventing floods.Nicole offered a glimpse into her process: “We excavate very large holes and backfill them with special sand, soil, and native plants. This captures rain where it falls, preventing it from running off hard surfaces into rivers without treatment.” These systems don't just mitigate water pollution and flooding—they're living, carbon-sequestering ecosystems.The visual transformation of once drab, urban parking lots into vibrant green spaces is a key motivator for the team. Nicole explained, “It's amazing when we replace asphalt with gardens that bloom with flowers like irises. These changes improve not just the environment but community aesthetics.”Green Compass's accomplishments extend beyond environmental impact. By selling over $1 million in stormwater retention credits, the company has proven the viability of its business model. Nicole is currently raising capital via a regulated crowdfunding campaign on Honeycomb Credit to expand Green Compass's groundbreaking work.“I'd much rather profit-share with mission-driven investors than big banks,” Nicole confided. Her crowdfunding approach also amplifies the value of her investors' feedback and insight.With 10 acres under management, Green Compass is poised to continue scaling its mission of transforming urban landscapes into carbon-sequestering havens. Nicole's story of combining ambition, innovation, and environmental stewardship is an inspiring call to action for future-focused entrepreneurs.tl;dr:Nicole Whalen founded Green Compass to address emissions and urban flooding using green infrastructure.Green Compass sells stormwater retention credits to incentivize eco-friendly retrofits for buildings.Efforts include creating rain gardens, tree canopies, and trenches to reduce runoff and beautify cities.Nicole demonstrates fearless problem-solving by building new markets and doubling down on innovative ideas.She's raising funds via Honeycomb Credit, sharing profits with mission-driven investors to scale impact.How to Develop Fearless Problem-Solving As a SuperpowerNicole's superpower lies in her mindset of tackling challenges head-on with the question, “How hard can it be?” She explained, “I walk into challenges not seeing them as insurmountable. Let's figure this out.” This willingness to solve problems with determination and optimism reflects her “lean into change” philosophy, which has steered Green Compass through an unpredictable world.One standout example of this superpower in action is Nicole's adoption of stormwater retention credits as a revenue stream for Green Compass. When she founded the company in 2018, this wasn't part of the plan. But using her knowledge of solar credits, she built a successful model that now accounts for 80% of Green Compass's revenue, surpassing $1 million to date. Her ability to see opportunities in emerging markets has made her company a pioneer in D.C.'s stormwater credit ecosystem.Here are her tips to develop fearless problem-solving as a personal strength:See Change as Opportunity: Lean into uncertainty with faith that new outcomes can be better.Tackle Challenges Efficiently: Stay calm in adversity and focus on finding actionable solutions.Adopt a Growth Mindset: Treat every challenge as a learning experience to build resilience and expertise.Draw Parallels: Apply knowledge from one domain (like solar credits) creatively in other contexts.By following Nicole's example and advice, you can make fearless problem-solving a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileNicole Whalen (she/her):Founder & CEO, Green Compass LLCAbout Green Compass LLC: Based in Washington DC, Green Compass retrofits commercial and multifamily buildings to fight climate change by deploying:

In this episode of the Owaken Podcast, Lukis Mac and Hella Omega explore the psychology of abundance as a lived mindset that influences every area of life—from money, safety, creativity, energy, relationships, habits, and opportunities to the way we think, feel, and create our reality.Drawing from their 20-year relationship and seasons of both struggle and success, they share why curiosity, vision, resourcefulness, and taking action with what you have are more powerful than waiting for the “perfect” moment.They unpack how scarcity activates the nervous system into survival (fight, flight, freeze, and fawn), leading to contraction, fear, holding on, and stagnation, while abundance creates greater flow through trust, giving, receiving, and aligning with the natural seasons of life.Throughout the conversation, they share pivotal personal stories—including spending their last $120 on festival tickets in Bali that unexpectedly led to life-changing connections and an invitation to Los Angeles, as well as a childhood manifestation experience that shaped their understanding of intention and possibility.This episode also explores self-worth, receiving, overcoming subconscious blocks, making decisive choices, investing in yourself and your environment, treating effort as devotion, and learning to embody the feelings of your future while surrendering the need to control exactly how it unfolds.00:00 – Psychology of Abundance00:50 – Welcome and Intentions02:00 – Abundance Through Life Seasons03:52 – From Broke to Vision06:15 – Curiosity Creates Possibility08:40 – Thrifting and Manifestation12:18 – Resourcefulness and Starting Now15:49 – Scarcity and the Nervous System20:29 – Nature's Seasons and Money Cycles23:29 – Receiving, Self-Worth and Overgiving27:19 – Rewrite Your Story and Choose Again28:17 – The Bali Story Begins28:48 – Betting the Last $12030:42 – Festival Miracle Vouchers31:18 – How Breathwork Opened the Door to Los Angeles34:50 – The Fork in the Road36:03 – The Ice Cream Manifestation Story38:13 – Dream First, Figure Out the How Later39:35 – Why Wealthy People Invest in Their Environment41:51 – Buy Nice or Buy Twice44:38 – Surrender and Embody Your Future Now50:10 – Effort as an Abundance Practice53:50 – Effort Is Love.

George Black, guest author, concludes with the ongoing effort to address the war's legacy, which reached a milestone in 2019 with a bipartisan gathering at Bien Hoa airbase to launch a massive cleanup project. This initiative, supported by figures like Patrick Leahy and Charles Bailey, demonstrates that aid for disabled victims should be a humanitarian rather than a political issue. The human impact is exemplified by Yen, a young woman born with severe limb distortions who overcame local superstitions and her family's initial rejection to build a life in the city. As Searcy and Bailey argue, even small amounts of resources—like providing a two-dollar red plastic stool for a disabled repairman—can transform lives. The story concludes with the personal redemptions of the two protagonists. Manus Campbell has found peace by living in Vietnam, marrying a Vietnamese woman, and following the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh while working with orphans. Chuck Searcy recently returned to Athens, Georgia, to settle his affairs after decades of service in Vietnam. While the work of the "long reckoning" remains unfinished, these individual and collective efforts have begun to heal the wounds of the past. The Long Reckoning (8)1906
