Goals must be clearly defined to be effective. External motivation fades; internal motivation is key. Converting kata requires focus on differences between styles. Opening a martial arts school involves more than just passion. Finding a location is the most critical step in opening a school. Sub-goals help in managing larger objectives effectively. Setting realistic goals is crucial for success in martial arts. Discipline is essential for achieving any goal. Consistent training, even in small increments, leads to significant improvement. Achieving black belts requires dedication and a clear plan. Facing personal challenges can be a journey of self-discovery. Writing down goals increases accountability and focus. Empowering language in goal setting can enhance motivation.   Join our EXCLUSIVE newsletter to get notified of each episode as it comes out! Subscribe — whistlekick Martial Arts Radio

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan Greene sits down with Joel Kraut, co-founder and managing director of BRRRR Loans, to explore the realities of long-term real estate investing, private lending, and sustainable financial decision-making. Drawing on decades of experience as an investor, lender, and former Wall Street trader, Joel challenges popular investing shortcuts and explains why slowing down and mastering fundamentals is often the fastest path to real wealth. The conversation dives deep into the limitations of the FIRE movement, the dangers of over-leverage, and how emotional decision-making derails otherwise solid deals. Joel shares lessons from market cycles, early BRRRR strategies, and hard-earned mistakes, emphasizing that success in real estate is far more about people, preparation, and honesty than chasing the newest strategy or acronym. Listeners will gain practical insight into what lenders actually look for in borrowers, how to present deals professionally, why organization and credit discipline matter, and how long-term relationships—not hype—drive consistent success in real estate. In this episode, you will hear: Why the FIRE movement often overlooks patience and foundational investing How Joel's early real estate and refinancing experience shaped his lending philosophy The real dangers of over-leverage and market-specific concentration risk What private lenders look for beyond credit scores and projections Why honesty, preparation, and organization matter more than clever deal structures How long-term relationships create repeat business and lasting wealth Follow and Review If you enjoy the show, please follow Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing on Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review.

Your brain is not broken and your mind is not a mess. You're not failing as a mom. You're not falling behind as an executive. We need to restore your hormones. I'm Dr. Betty Murray, and in this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Romie Mushtaq, neurologist, Chief Wellness Officer for a company of 14,000 people, and bestselling author of The Busy Brain Cure, to expose the workplace crisis that's destroying women's careers and health. Dr. Romie shares her own story of burnout: 120-hour work weeks as one of less than 5% of female brain doctors in academic medicine, researching women's hormones while her own brain cells felt "on fire," chest pain dismissed as "just stress," and life-saving surgery in 2010 that woke her up to what medical school never taught her. But this conversation goes far deeper than one woman's story. We unpack the shocking data showing women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s are being forced out of the workforce at a rate 15 times higher than men, not because they're failing, but because their perimenopause and menopause symptoms are being dismissed, misdiagnosed, and weaponized against them. You'll Discover: ●     Why women ages 40-60 are being laid off or taking involuntary leave at rates 15 times higher than men ●     Dr. Romie's burnout journey in academic medicine ●     The "hormones are a symphony" framework ●     Why 70-80% of women with mental health symptoms due to stress actually have thyroid as the root cause, with difficulty focusing being the only presenting symptom (mistaken for ADHD or anxiety), while weight fluctuations, dry skin, and irregular cycles come later ●     The truth about perimenopause symptoms ●     Why "authentic leadership" is BS in corporate America ●     The functional medicine gatekeeping crisis: complex gut health diet protocols for busy traveling executives who spend $3,000-$10,000 without getting help, told to "earn your hormones," when brain fog/anxiety sufferers need low-hanging fruit first (progesterone, thyroid) to feel better THEN add lifestyle changes ●     Why no supplement will replace thyroid hormone: if a doctor is selling you supplements instead of prescription medication, run. ●     Stress eating vs comfort food distinction ●     Business dinner survival tactics PLUS, Dr. Romie's "glow up" secret: lost weight, skin glowing, looks younger than 50, wasn't Botox (though she covers gray hair every 3 weeks), was thyroid, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone restoration, started thyroid at 38-39 years old and had regular menstrual cycle for first time in her life This episode is for women in their 40s-60s experiencing brain fog at work, executives who can't focus in meetings, anyone told their symptoms are "just stress," or women considering quitting their jobs because they think they're failing.

Empowering Gig Workers  Tamara Laine is the founder of MPWR, a fintech services platform launching in 2026 to serve the some 80 million global gig economy workers.  This isn't the first founding experience for Tamara, here she is speaking with Nasdaq in 2023 regarding an earlier experience with Card Shop Live.  MPWR will focus on providing lending and support tools to gig economy workers who up until now face significant challenges accessing the financial services that W2 workers typically take for granted.  Their reach could be vast, Tamara is focused on the domestic market but also has her eye on markets in Africa and Asia where gig economy workers proliferate.   This sector is one we've been following at the podcast for some time.  Our parent company SMGraves Associates has been advocating for support opportunities by new services providers through their accelerators and economic development programming.  Tamara also gave us her perspective on artificial intelligence beyond just its beneficial use through her work, a discussion you don't want to miss.   Connect to Tamara  In her own words 'I started my career in documentaries and journalism, which taught me so much about human behavior and intent. Every day was fast-paced, but, more importantly, it was filled with talking to people about their problems, conflicts, or solutions. I learned that unique personalities brought unique solutions to every situation. Now as a team leader, I see the value of every teammate's perspective, insights, or roadblocks and how that could be something to utilize for growth.'

Can you be lean and metabolically unfit? Can you be overweight and metabolically healthy? Most of the world's type 2 diabetics are lean. Weight is not the issue. It's a distraction from what actually matters: metabolic fitness. Dr. Betty Murray sits down with Dr. Beverly Yates ND to shatter the myths about metabolic health, weight, and diabetes, especially for women over 40. In this conversation, Dr. Yates reveals the silent signs of pre-diabetes most doctors miss, why the "eat less, exercise more" advice fails women after menopause, and the five steps of the Yates Protocol that helped women reverse type 2 diabetes after 25+ years, without deprivation or restriction. What We Cover: ●     Weight is not the issue, it's a symptom: Most type 2 diabetics worldwide are lean (not overweight), you can be lean and metabolically unfit OR overweight and metabolically healthy, doctors blame weight instead of looking at actual metabolic markers ●     The silent signs of pre-diabetes ●     Objective markers that actually matter: Hemoglobin A1C, fasting blood sugar, fasting insulin, C-peptide ●     Why BMI is useless ●     Menopause changes everything metabolically: Loss of estrogen = increased visceral fat + insulin resistance (even with same diet/exercise), women have more microvascular disease than men, hot flashes linked to hyperdensities in brain (vascular damage) ●     Why lean people don't get diagnosed: Doctors assume "you're skinny, you're fine" without checking A1C/fasting insulin/C-peptide, visceral fat can be invisible (not always "beer belly"), third of teenagers now have pre-diabetes ●     The taste bud reset: Taste buds turn over every 10-14 days, they talk to brain about calories, diet sodas/artificial sweeteners trick brain → causes snacking 1-1.5 hours later PLUS, The 5 Steps of the Yates Protocol: (1) Nutrition, (2) Meal timing, (3) Stress management, (4) Sleep, (5) Exercise with emphasis on strength training. This episode is for women over 40 navigating menopause, anyone told to "just lose weight" by their doctor, pre-diabetics looking for real solutions, or anyone who wants to understand what metabolic fitness actually means. ✨ Watch now and discover why the strategies that worked at 30 don't work at 50, and what actually does.   Connect with Dr. Beverly Yates ND: Book: The Yates Protocol (Pre-Order NOW) Website: https://drbeverlyyates.com/the-yates-protocol-book/ Pre-Order Bonus: Upload receipt for undisclosed chapter not in book   Connect with Dr. Betty Murray: ●     Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ ●     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbettymurray/ Links: ●     The Fierce Female Method for Longevity (Dr. Betty's book) https://fierce.hormoneshelp.com/ ●     Menrva Telemedicine: https://gethormonesnow.com/ ●     FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/3wNJOec ●     Living Well Dallas: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/ ●     Hormone Reset: https://hormonereset.net/   More from the Podcast: Subscribe to #MenopauseMastery for weekly episodes on women's health, hormones, and functional medicine → https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwONPdSvb2-YYY74VhD-XBw Listen on Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/menopause-mastery/id1607369247 Listen on Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/0tNsjm32CZNXSgSFEwS3uH Thank you for listening to Menopause Mastery.

On today's episode, Brian and Josh welcome Mike Johnson, founder of Clearpath and veteran security professional to the pod, whose work with schools worldwide highlights a critical truth: you can't secure a campus with hardware alone.   Mike makes the case that true safety is social, emotional, and physical — and that many schools over-invest in the physical while underestimating what's happening inside classrooms, hallways, and online.    For Mike, safety starts with connection: teachers who notice, counsellors who are empowered, and students who are given language and channels to raise concerns.   Together, the group discusses how to design age-appropriate drills for four-year-olds and teenagers alike without creating unnecessary fear, how to include students as genuine stakeholders in safety planning, and why debriefing drills is just as important as running them.    This is a thoughtful, people-first conversation for school leaders who want their safety programs to protect wellbeing as much as buildings.   Show notes:   00:00 - Introduction to Mike Johnson   04:14 - Why Schools Are Unprepared   06:43 - Social Media, Mental Health & Modern Safety   08:34 - The Risk Venn Diagram: Assets, Threats & Vulnerabilities   10:38 - Probability vs. Impact   14:14 - The Training Gap   17:13 - Safety Belongs in the Mission Statement   18:47 - Removing Fear with the "Even If…" Mindset   21:07 - Access Control: The #1 Vulnerability   24:01 - Success Stories from International Schools   27:41 - Technology ≠ Safety   30:39 - Drills Must Reflect Reality   32:59 - Lightning Round:   42:30 - Closing Thoughts     Learn more about Clearpath and Mike Johnson: https://clearpathepm.com/     This episode is sponsored by REACH Boarding   This episode is sponsored by REACH Boarding, an award-winning, feature-rich boarding school management tool used by over 400 schools in five continents to manage risk, increase efficiency, and improve communication in boarding school management.   To learn more about REACH Boarding, its features and integrations, visit www.reachboarding.com   Empowering the Future of Independent Education & Boarding School Management   Thanks for tuning into this week's episode of Roll Call, don't forget to share your favorite episodes with your colleagues on social media to help us spread the word and help more education professionals stay at the forefront of independent education and boarding school management techniques to empower the future of the education environment.    

In this episode of the You Are Not Broken podcast, Kelly Casperson and Dr. Mariza Snyder discuss the transformative journey of women navigating perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Mariza shares her personal experiences with chronic migraines and how they led her to become a functional medicine practitioner focused on women's health. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding hormonal changes, the impact of chronic stress, and the necessity of movement and nutrition in reclaiming health. Dr. Mariza encourages women to envision their future selves and take ownership of their health journeys, while also addressing the societal pressures that contribute to stress and unhealthy habits. Takeaways Dr. Mariza's journey from chiropractic to functional medicine was driven by her own health struggles. Chronic migraines often affect women in perimenopause due to hormonal changes. Empowering women through health can create a multiplier effect in communities. Movement is essential for recovery and overall well-being. Functional health practitioners focus on root causes rather than just symptoms. Women often feel pressured to be busy, which can lead to chronic stress. Adrenal fatigue is not a recognized medical diagnosis, but stress impacts health significantly. Nutrition plays a crucial role in managing health, especially regarding processed sugars. Insulin resistance is a growing concern for women in midlife. Reading and self-education can empower individuals to take control of their health.

Can you be lean and metabolically unfit? Can you be overweight and metabolically healthy? Most of the world's type 2 diabetics are lean. Weight is not the issue. It's a distraction from what actually matters: metabolic fitness. Dr. Betty Murray sits down with Dr. Beverly Yates ND to shatter the myths about metabolic health, weight, and diabetes, especially for women over 40. In this conversation, Dr. Yates reveals the silent signs of pre-diabetes most doctors miss, why the "eat less, exercise more" advice fails women after menopause, and the five steps of the Yates Protocol that helped women reverse type 2 diabetes after 25+ years, without deprivation or restriction. What We Cover: ●     Weight is not the issue, it's a symptom: Most type 2 diabetics worldwide are lean (not overweight), you can be lean and metabolically unfit OR overweight and metabolically healthy, doctors blame weight instead of looking at actual metabolic markers ●     The silent signs of pre-diabetes ●     Objective markers that actually matter: Hemoglobin A1C, fasting blood sugar, fasting insulin, C-peptide ●     Why BMI is useless ●     Menopause changes everything metabolically: Loss of estrogen = increased visceral fat + insulin resistance (even with same diet/exercise), women have more microvascular disease than men, hot flashes linked to hyperdensities in brain (vascular damage) ●     Why lean people don't get diagnosed: Doctors assume "you're skinny, you're fine" without checking A1C/fasting insulin/C-peptide, visceral fat can be invisible (not always "beer belly"), third of teenagers now have pre-diabetes ●     The taste bud reset: Taste buds turn over every 10-14 days, they talk to brain about calories, diet sodas/artificial sweeteners trick brain → causes snacking 1-1.5 hours later PLUS, The 5 Steps of the Yates Protocol: (1) Nutrition, (2) Meal timing, (3) Stress management, (4) Sleep, (5) Exercise with emphasis on strength training. This episode is for women over 40 navigating menopause, anyone told to "just lose weight" by their doctor, pre-diabetics looking for real solutions, or anyone who wants to understand what metabolic fitness actually means. ✨ Watch now and discover why the strategies that worked at 30 don't work at 50, and what actually does.   Connect with Dr. Beverly Yates ND: Book: The Yates Protocol (Pre-Order NOW) Website: https://drbeverlyyates.com/the-yates-protocol-book/ Pre-Order Bonus: Upload receipt for undisclosed chapter not in book   Connect with Dr. Betty Murray: ●     Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ ●     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbettymurray/ Links: ●     The Fierce Female Method for Longevity (Dr. Betty's book) https://fierce.hormoneshelp.com/ ●     Menrva Telemedicine: https://gethormonesnow.com/ ●     FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/3wNJOec ●     Living Well Dallas: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/ ●     Hormone Reset: https://hormonereset.net/   More from the Podcast: Subscribe to #MenopauseMastery for weekly episodes on women's health, hormones, and functional medicine → https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwONPdSvb2-YYY74VhD-XBw Listen on Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/menopause-mastery/id1607369247 Listen on Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/0tNsjm32CZNXSgSFEwS3uH Thank you for listening to Menopause Mastery.

In this enlightening episode of the Dead America Podcast, host Ed Watters sits down with Dr. Njideka Olatunde, a renowned naturopathic practitioner specializing in pain relief through touchology, reflexology, and holistic healing. Dr. Olatunde shares her powerful insights into the deep connection between stress and pain, explaining how understanding this relationship can unlock profound healing for individuals and communities. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Olatunde breaks down her unique therapeutic approach, which blends touch-based healing, listening, and comprehensive care plans that may include chiropractic treatment, acupuncture, and dietary adjustments. She emphasizes that healing is not just physical—it is emotional, relational, and deeply connected to how we interact with ourselves and others. Listeners will learn about the science and spirit behind touchology, the importance of positive human connection, and how simple supportive interactions can reduce stress and promote well being.

Gregg Treinish didn't start out as an outdoor enthusiast, but found solace and purpose in nature during his youth. After years of enjoying the outdoors, he was left feeling a need to give something back to the world. He found fulfillment by using his passion for outdoor adventures to gather critical data that researchers need for conservation and scientific research. That's how his nonprofit organization, Adventure Scientists, came to be. "We harness the collective power of the tens of thousands of people that are outside every day — who love the outdoors and have a passion for exploring the outdoors — and we give them real scientific missions that they can do while they're out there that benefit conservation," Treinish says. The Mongabay Newscast is available on all major podcast platforms, including Apple and Spotify, and previous episodes are also accessible at our website's podcast page.

Victoria Lenormand is a former police detective turned holistic coach, Reiki master, and passionate advocate for alternative education and social justice. With a 28-year career in public service behind her, Victoria's lens is both compassionate and sharp: she's witnessed firsthand how institutions can sometimes fail those they claim to serve. Her journey took a transformative turn when her youngest son's autism diagnosis revealed the flaws in rigid educational and medical systems. Choosing to home educate, she and her family embraced a life of flexibility, healing, and empowerment—living in a motorhome before settling in Scotland and exploring a more intuitive way of living. Her family's transformation, sparked by a combination of diet, environment, and deep listening, revealed the healing power of choice and the cost of ignoring it.Today, through Gemini Directions, Victoria now works with families and individuals who feel stuck inside systems not made for them. Her work draws on training in wellness coaching, trauma-informed care, and energy work—but more than anything, it's shaped by real-world experience: managing crisis with calm, asking better questions, making space when the default is to push through. Victoria speaks to parents at breaking point, professionals navigating burnout, and educators or policymakers open to doing things differently. Her conversations centre around those day-to-day quiet acts of courage: advocating for yourself, questioning “normal,” and moving toward something slower, more responsive, and often more effective.Takeaways:The value of a child is often revealed in the challenges they face, not just in their successes.When traditional education fails to meet a child's needs, parents must explore alternative educational paths.Creating a supportive community is essential for families navigating the complexities of education and special needs.Empowering children to take charge of their own learning fosters autonomy and encourages a love for education.Resilience is cultivated through overcoming challenges and learning to adapt in the face of adversity.The holistic approach to education recognizes the interconnectedness of emotional, physical, and academic well-being.Chapters:00:20 - Choosing to Withdraw: A New Direction06:20 - The Journey of Learning and Discovery08:23 - The Journey of Learning and Inclusion18:51 - Navigating Educational Change22:49 - Rethinking Education: Navigating New Possibilities28:20 - The Journey of Personalization in Learning34:45 - Navigating Educational Change and Personal Growth40:01 - The Importance of Community Support in Challenging Times42:38 - The Power of Resilience and Community

Feeling exhausted, gaining weight around your midsection, and struggling despite "doing everything right"? You're not broken, your body is working against you because of a major hormonal shift most doctors completely ignore. Dr. Betty Murray, integrative functional medicine doctor with 20+ years of experience and founder of Minerva Telemedicine, explains exactly what's happening in your body after 40, and why the strategies that worked at 25 are now sabotaging your metabolism. In this video, you'll discover: ●     Why your metabolism feels like it "switched off overnight" in your 40s ●     The hormone symphony shift: How progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone decline affects your metabolism, sleep, muscle mass, and fat storage ●     Why "eat less, exercise more" actually makes things WORSE after 40 (the starvation response trap explained) ●     The cardio trap: How excessive cardio burns off muscle instead of building it, and why you're running yourself into the ground ●     What's really happening with your mitochondria (energy factories) and why you wake up exhausted even after 8 hours of sleep ●     Why cortisol is "stuck in overdrive" during perimenopause/menopause, and how it actively breaks down muscle while storing belly fat ●     The truth about willpower vs. hormones (spoiler: willpower can't fix a progesterone deficiency) ●     Why herbs and positive thinking can't restore ovarian function (from a doctor with 2 masters + PhD in nutrition science) ●     How bioidentical hormone replacement therapy actually works (and why it's science-backed, not just "toughing it out") PLUS, the #1 change to make TODAY to stabilize blood sugar and build muscle! (SPOILER, it's easy!) Midlife isn't the beginning of the end, it's a time of radical transition and ownership.

Today, we're diving deep into the world of foster care education with the incredible Sharon Dunlevy, an educational advocate who's truly making waves in this often-overlooked area. Sharon's mission is crystal clear: she's all about bringing the needs of children in foster care to the forefront of educational policy and practice.

So, grab a comfy seat and get ready to be inspired as we uncover how we can all play a part in ensuring these children not only survive but thrive!A heartwarming and enlightening chat unfolds as we dive into the intricacies of advocating for children in foster care with our remarkable guest, Sharon Dunlevy. With a mission that's as noble as it is necessary, Sharon opens up about her journey from special education teacher to educational advocate dedicated to ensuring that the voices of foster children are heard and their educational rights are upheld. We explore the challenges these kids face, often overlooked by society, especially concerning their schooling. Sharon emphasizes that many foster children deal with a unique set of traumas that affect their ability to learn and thrive in educational environments. She highlights the importance of understanding trauma-informed practices in education and how these can make a monumental difference in a child's learning experience. Throughout our conversation, Sharon shares her insights into the laws designed to protect these children and how foster parents can be empowered to advocate for their educational needs. From the Every Student Succeeds Act to individualized education plans (IEPs), we discuss the tools available to foster parents and educators to help foster children succeed academically. Sharon's passion shines as she recounts her experiences training foster parents, explaining how their knowledge of these laws can lead to better outcomes for their children.
