Don and Tom open with banter about the weather, baseball playoffs, and studio quirks before diving into what it means to be a “millionaire” today versus in 1890. They explore how much of modern net worth is illiquid, why home equity and retirement funds can trap wealth, and how planning for liquidity and income is crucial. The conversation transitions into a discussion of market volatility, rare earth trade tensions with China, and Brett Arends' critique of index investing. They counter with historical perspective, humor (and potato chips), and advice about risk, rebalancing, and human behavior. Later, listener calls cover portfolio structure, Empower vs. Vanguard advisor options, and evaluating advisor fees and fund costs.

Welcome to The Superhumanize Podcast. I'm your host, Ariane Sommer, and today we're diving into one of the most paradigm-shifting conversations in modern medicine: the metabolic theory of cancer.For decades, we've been told that cancer is primarily a genetic disease, a matter of unlucky mutations that require aggressive pharmaceutical interventions. But what if that's only part of the story? What if cancer is fundamentally a metabolic disease, a disorder of cellular energy production that we can address through diet, lifestyle, and targeted metabolic therapies?This isn't fringe science. And it's giving patients new hope, and new options, beyond the standard cut, poison, and burn model. Today, I'm thrilled to welcome Dr. Donese Worden to the show. Dr. Worden is a board-certified Naturopathic Medical Doctor, researcher, and global health educator who has dedicated her career to bridging conventional and alternative cancer care. She's collaborated with Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center, served as CEO of Care Oncology, and works directly with Dr. Seyfried on metabolic cancer research. She's also the creator of the 7 Pillars of Health framework, a comprehensive approach to resilience that addresses everything from sleep and gut health to spiritual wellbeing.Dr. Worden's motto is 'Educate, Empower, Enlighten,' and that's exactly what we're going to do today. We'll explore the metabolic theory of cancer, discuss both prevention and treatment strategies, and give you a roadmap for building resilience at every level.Episode Highlights00:00 Welcome + why the “metabolic theory of cancer” matters02:00 Genetics vs. metabolism: why only ~5% is strictly genetic (and gene expression is modifiable)03:45 Warburg's mitochondrial lens; PET scans lighting up because cancer voraciously consumes sugar06:45 How we veered away historically; incentives that kept oncology gene-centric09:00 What damages mitochondria today: toxins, antibiotics (without mitigation), chronic stress10:30 Stress as a metabolic driver; why it keeps glucose high even on a “good” diet12:30 Ketogenic therapy for cancer: high fat, lower protein (individualized), carbs mainly from veggies15:00 Measuring correctly: Keto-Mojo, GKI (Glucose-Ketone Index); skip urine strips for accuracy17:00 Fast stress relief protocols: music-guided entrainment, breath work, active meditation, journaling20:15 Somatic breath work in practice; rapid emotional release21:00 Best fats and how Dr. W screens with food-sensitivity testing first23:15 Keto cycles for prevention: 6-week blocks a couple times per year24:15 Exercise as mitochondrial medicine: HIIT + resistance for biogenesis and cancer risk reduction26:00 The KetoPet model: ketogenic diet + HBOT + interval training; lessons for humans28:15 Starting movement in late-stage cases; meeting people exactly where they are30:15 “Press–Pulse” strategy: what stays constant vs. what's pulsed to outsmart tumor adaptation32:00 Repurposed meds (e.g., metformin, doxycycline) and why many oncologists can't step outside SOC33:00 Bridging care: when surgery/chemo/radiation have a role; aiming at cancer stem cells37:15 Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT): driving O₂ into cells; why it's pulsed and protocol-specific39:30 Outcomes Dr. W sees most consistently: better quality of life, often longer survival41:00 The psychology of prognosis; belief, stress, and manifestation43:00 The “placebo” as your body's own pharmacy (parasympathetic healing state)44:15 Targeting glutamine along with glucose; where evidence stands now (e.g., berberine, exercise, stress)46:45 The Seven Pillars of Health overview (self-audit)48:30 Pillar 1 — Sleep: deep/REM, how you feel on waking49:15 Pillar 2 — Body: strength,...

In this episode, we sit down with Sam Grant, Head of Sales for the Americas at Hemro Group — the company behind Mahlkönig, Ditting, Anfim, and Hey Café — to talk about how technology and craft coexist in modern coffee. We trace Sam's path from retail to coffee equipment sales, exploring what he's learned from connecting baristas, roasters, and engineers around the world. At its heart, this conversation isn't just about grinders — it's about growth, adaptation, and learning from people who approach coffee differently. From the rise of automation to the art of keeping things human, we unpack how technology can either replace or empower craft, and how curiosity and humility keep you evolving in an industry that never stops changing.

One of the most powerful tools in healing from childhood sexual abuse is for a survivor to have the opportunity to share their story and truly be heard. Many survivors of early trauma at the hands of Catholic Church Priests went unheard or unbelieved for decades. Several Pennsylvania Grand Jury investigations and media discussions surrounding the findings were one of the first opportunities for many local survivors to recognize the extent of their own abuse fully. It also served to help survivors realize that they were not alone. Jay Sefton was one of these individuals. He experienced childhood sexual abuse by his family's parish priest, and he is now working to share his story while also empowering others to heal from theirs. Sefton is an actor, playwright, and Licensed Mental Health Counselor living in Easthampton, Massachusetts. He is the co-author and performer of UNRECONCILED, an autobiographical story of an adolescent actor cast as Jesus in a school play directed by a parish priest. I had the opportunity to see the play performed live. I listened to the discussion afterward, which included the former Boston Globe Editor Marty Baron, who empowered his Spotlight team to pursue the story of the church's conspiracy to cover up the abuse. The play was amazing and there is a project to help bring it to a much bigger audience. Jay is a licensed mental health counselor and I believe his journey will be an inspiration for many.

6x Your Ad ROI: The Power of Google Reviews for Cash Practices In this episode, Doc Danny Matta breaks down how one simple factor—Google reviews—can transform your return on ad spend (ROAS) from 2x to 12x. Using a real example of two nearly identical clinics, he explains why social proof is the difference between average and elite marketing results, and how to build a system that keeps reviews (and new patients) flowing. Quick Ask Help us reach our mission of adding $1B in cash-based services to the profession—share this episode with a clinician friend or post it to your IG stories and tag Danny. He'll reshare it! Episode Summary Case Study: Two clinics, same ads, same demographics—one made 12x ROI, the other only 2x. The difference? 250 Google reviews vs. zero. Intent-based ads win: Google search leads are high-intent buyers looking for a real solution, not just scrolling. Social proof = trust: Buyers skip clinics with few or no reviews. Local reputation heavily influences clicks and conversions. AI search impact: Platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini still pull heavily from Google data—especially reviews—for local service rankings. ROI math: A 12x return means hiring faster, filling schedules, and scaling with confidence; 2x means ads are barely sustainable. How to 6x Your Return on Ad Spend Ask in person: Don't automate gratitude. When a patient shares a big win, that's your moment to ask for a review. Make it easy: Text them the direct Google review link right then. If they use Gmail, they're likely already logged in—instant review. Follow up: People get busy. Email or text them again a few days later with the same link and a quick thank-you note. Train your staff: Encourage your team to ask happy patients too—especially those they love working with. More ideal patients come from more aligned reviews. Automate wisely: Use email triggers to request reviews mid or post plan of care, but never rely on automation alone. Mindset & Systems Fundamentals matter: Gathering reviews may not feel flashy, but it's like dribbling with your non-dominant hand—it changes your game. Track outcomes: Compare ad performance monthly. Reallocate spend toward high-ROI locations with more social proof. Empower your team: Remind staff that reviews bring in more of the patients they enjoy treating—reducing burnout and improving morale. Notable Quotes “The difference between a 2x and a 12x ROI isn't your ad—it's your reviews.” “Social proof is your digital word of mouth. It's what people trust before they ever meet you.” “This is like dribbling with your non-dominant hand. It's not sexy—but it wins games.” Pro Tips You Can Use This Month Audit your listings: Count your Google reviews and compare them to competitors in your area. Create a script: Role-play how your staff asks patients for reviews at the right time. Use Gmail leverage: Focus on patients with Gmail accounts—they can review you in seconds. Celebrate wins: Share positive reviews in team meetings to reinforce the habit. Measure ROI: Track ad results before and after review pushes. The data will speak for itself. Action Items Text your Google review link to 5 happy patients today. Train your team to ask at every discharge or major breakthrough moment. Follow up once per week with anyone who hasn't yet left a review. Revisit your Google Business Profile—add photos, services, and recent updates to boost visibility.

How do the words teachers hear from school leaders, instructional coaches and peers provide an uplift and motivation? Are there time that the words teachers hear create a subtle source of stress, confusion, or disengagement? Our language can be a vehicle through which expectations, emotions, and commitments are transmitted.  What we say—and just as importantly, what we don't say—can directly influence teacher growth, agency, and energy. Consider how your intentional language can empower your coachees, team members and staff, fostering a culture where trust, clarity and motivation thrive.

Iran's Strategy, Setbacks for Hezbollah, and the Chinese Economic Lifeline Guest: Jonathan Sayah Jonathan Sayah discusses US efforts to bolster the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) with $230 million, intending to empower the national identity over sectarian militias like Hezbollah. Iran consistently seeks to arm its proxies, but Hezbollah is currently on its back foot, having lost leadership, money, and the Syria corridor due to Israeli attacks and the new regime in Syria. A peace deal in Gaza would significantly weaken Iran, as stability does not favor the Islamic Republic, which thrives by exploiting regional instability. The morale of the Islamic Republic has crumbled due to external defeats and internal incompetence (failing infrastructure, high inflation). Furthermore, Iran relies heavily on China to purchase oil, utilizing a money-laundering network to evade US sanctions, securing an economic lifeline for the regime in return for natural resources and infrastructure projects. 18666 TEHRAN

Drawing from decades of clinical experience and research, Dr. Levy explains how toxins, infections, and heavy metals deplete antioxidants like vitamin C and drive inflammation, and why restoring redox balance is key to healing.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Most agencies don't make it 25 years but Bill Swanston's has. From surviving 9/11 to leading a 30-person team through COVID, Bill shares how Bosun (formerly Frederick Swanston) adapted, learned to love KPIs, empowered their team, and even pulled off a successful rebrand. His story proves you can survive the toughest agency seasons and come out stronger—if you track the right numbers, avoid “superclient” risk, and learn to truly let go. What You'll Learn Why resilience (not just growth hacks) is the real agency survival skill How ignoring KPIs almost cost the agency big—and how to avoid that mistake Why letting go of control is the only way to grow past founder-dependence What a rebrand really signals about an agency's maturity and leadership shift The hidden dangers of relying on a “superclient” Key Takeaways Keep overhead light in uncertain times—it gives you room to maneuver when crises hit. Track your KPIs like a client project: salaries as % of AGI, AGI per employee, revenue per client. Don't rely on a single client for survival—client concentration is a silent killer. Empower your team early—you can't scale if you're reviewing every deliverable yourself. Rebrands work when they reflect a cultural shift—not just a new logo. What does it really take to keep an agency alive through market crashes, pandemics, and the endless grind without burning out or losing your edge? Today's featured guest will unpack his journey from starting in a basement with a couple of clients to leading a 30-person team through some of the toughest seasons an agency can face. From navigating financial blind spots to learning how to actually let go and trust his team, and the reason the agency's 25th anniversary actually marked a big shift with a new rebrand. Bill Swanston is the president and founder of Bosun, an Atlanta-based agency that just celebrated its 25th anniversary. Formerly known as Frederick Swanston, the agency has weathered market crashes, client shakeups, and a pandemic while building a powerhouse team with deep creative and digital chops. In this episode, we'll discuss: The challenges that really tested the agency's resilience. How learning to love KPIs saved the business. Why rebrand after 25 years?

Building Through Adversity and Surviving 9/11 After moving back to Atlanta from New York, Bill was freelancing at BBDO and thinking about switching to smaller agency. As he saw it, it was better to be a big fish in a smaller pond. Unfortunately, his gig at the smaller agency was short lived, since the agency shut down for good. Instead of packing it in, Bill and his partner Scott Frederick grabbed a few clients, set up shop in a basement, and got to work. Built-in revenue gave them a smoother start than most scrappy entrepreneurs, but reality set in quickly. By the early 2000s, they were hit hard by 9/11 and its ripple effect on corporate events. It was a reminder that whether you're at a big holding company or running your own small shop, stability is often an illusion. Surviving those first waves meant keeping overhead light, grinding it out, and learning how to adapt before the word “pivot” became a business cliché. The Challenge that Really Tested the Agency's Resilience Partnerships can make or break an agency and Bill admits the early years with his partner had their rough patches, not as creatives, but as business owners learning how to disagree productively. Over time, their different strengths meshed into what became a powerful leadership duo. But nothing tested the agency quite like COVID. With a staff of 30 suddenly looking to them for answers, the partners had to act fast. They slashed salaries, cut their own pay completely, and relied on federal relief programs like PPP loans to keep the team intact. That lifeline, combined with quick adjustments, got them back on track. As Bill put it, “It was the absolute worst period of time for the agency. But we came out stronger because we had no choice but to figure it out fast.” From Gut Instinct to KPIs That Saved the Business Like a lot of creative-led shops, Bill and his partner weren't exactly obsessed with financial metrics at first. According to Bill, they mostly leaned on QuickBooks, check-writing, and gut instincts. That worked until it didn't. By the time they realized improprieties had slipped under the radar, they knew it was time to upgrade. Today, they track everything from salaries as a percentage of adjusted gross income to AGI per employee to recurring revenue versus project-based work. They also look at revenue per client to ensure there isn't any one account that is overwhelming the team. Like many agencies, they had this happen at one point, with a client that accounted for 50% of their billing. He remembers being scared once this client started to dwindle as a result of the ‘08 crisis, which taught him the danger of relying on superclients that can walk away and take half your revenue with them. Bill stresses that KPIs aren't about being a math whiz, but about having clarity. Knowing your true profitability by client or department means you stop guessing and start making better decisions. “We do it for our clients,” he said, “so we've got to do it for ourselves too.” Nowadays, he works with an external CPA and an internal comptroller who help him keep an eye on the agency's finances. Pro tip: If you're not yet at the point where you can have a CFO but don't know where to start to assess your agency's financials, use askquick.ai. It's a tool developed by Jason and his team that'll help you figure out your most profitable clients, assess your financial red flags, measure your KPIs, and more. Learning to Let Go and Empower the Team For the first decade, Bill and Scott were deep in the weeds, reviewing every creative output, managing every account, carrying the business on their backs. Eventually, the workload became too much and they had to learn how to trust others. Empowering team members to make real decisions wasn't easy. It started organically as new hires took over account management, media, and digital responsibilities. Over time, Bill realized the work improved when people felt ownership and felt empowered to shape the agency. “The ability to let go and trust others is essential to grow your agency,” he says. This trust not only gave the agency room to grow but also gave Bill and Scott the freedom to step back from being prisoners of their own business. Why Would a 25 Year Old Agency Rebrand Now? After two and a half decades as Frederick Swanston, the founders made the bold move to rebrand as Bosun to better reflect what they'd become. The decision was about more than a new logo. According to Bill, keeping their surnames in the brand felt too self-centered and didn't reflect the agency's culture. The rebrand signaled a shift: it's not about Bill or Scott anymore. It's about the team, the clients, and the relationships that actually fuel the work. While rebrands often make clients nervous, Bill said the transition was seamless. In fact, many partners celebrated alongside them, proving that strong relationships matter more than the name on the door. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

Over-functioning leadership fuels burnout and pressure. In this episode, discover why carrying too much erodes trust — and how recalibration empowers your team, family, and closest relationships.High-capacity humans often over-function without realizing it. You step in, anticipate needs, carry logistics, and even absorb emotions — all in the name of service. But instead of helping, this performance erodes trust and spreads nervous system stress to your team, family, and closest relationships.In today's episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly unpacks why over-functioning leadership isn't just burnout — it's identity misalignment showing up as nervous system bracing. You'll hear how co-regulation works, why your team “catches” your stress, and why presence — not pressure — is the real leadership advantage.Through the colorful legacy of Herb Kelleher, co-founder of Southwest Airlines, you'll see how humor, trust, and empowerment created a thriving culture. His story proves what neuroscience confirms: empowerment builds capacity, over-control stunts it.This episode is rooted in the heartbeat of Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) — not another leadership tactic or personal branding hack, but the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool work again. Because when identity precedes behavior, your nervous system shifts, your presence expands, and those you lead can finally rise.Today's Micro Recalibration: Replace rescuing with requesting. Instead of carrying it all, choose one clear ask, offer one resource, or hand off one responsibility. Watch how your team, family, or circle responds when you empower instead of over-function.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

In this episode of the Abundance Hack Podcast, I share how my nervous system found deeper regulation when I started distancing myself from ambivalent relationships and connections. When you're in connections where you have to walk on eggshells, shrink yourself, or perform just to feel safe, your body lives in fight, flight, freeze, or more often, fawn. Fawning is when we shrink, shift, and appease to be liked, accepted or to avoid rejection. I'll share my personal journey of realizing how these dynamics kept me in hypervigilance, how I learned to recognize ambivalence in relationships (when words and actions don't align, or when “support” feels condescending or competitive), and how choosing distance created space for my intuition, authenticity, and nervous system healing. You'll also hear why inner work alone isn't enough if you're still in environments that keep you on edge, and how grounding relationships, the ones where you can be fully yourself, messy and all, are essential for nervous system safety and true abundance.
