Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles take a revealing look inside Donald Trump's world of flunkies, fear and humiliation, where cabinet officials, billionaires and tech titans learn how far they have to bend to stay in his good graces. They examine why figures like Marco Rubio, J.D. Vance and Pete Hegseth have accepted radically different versions of the same bargain, and how Trump's unpredictable mix of praise and fury keeps those around him off balance. They also explore his treatment of women, including the leaked images of Trump berating Natalie Harp, before Wolff explains why, in Trump's second term, almost nobody around him can afford to believe they are his equal. #ad For a limited time, get 60% off your first order, plus free shipping and free treats for life, when you head to https://Smalls.com/HEAD. #ad Download SAILY's app and use code beast at checkout to get an exclusive 15% off your first purchase!

This is Get Rich Education. Keith Weinhold 1:50 Welcome to GRE from Wheeling, West Virginia, to Whiting, Indiana, and across 188 nations worldwide. I'm Keith Weinhold, and you're listening to Get Rich Education. Before I get into basically giving your rental property a raise with the top five ways to increase its income, first let's get the context of pulling back and understanding your compelling why for all of this. You may or may not like investment property itself-it's more likely rather that you love what it does for you. That's how it is for me. What do most people do? It's like they're training for the Grind Olympics. Are you doing this too? But you don't remember signing up? I mean, that's kind of what the day job is, society's vortex gradually pulls you into it. The investment property is what gradually tilts you out of it, or it gives you that option. For so many, the day job, it's sort of like this competition that really no one officially announces it yet. Millions enter it. Who can work the longest hours? Who can answer the most emails? Who can miss the most family dinners? Who can delay their life the longest? And at the end of it all, something we call retirement. If you're a winner, not a loser. The winner, you receive a gold-colored watch, lukewarm sheet cake, and a little party at age 65, and that's assuming that the finish line hasn't been moved to 70. Keith Weinhold 3:40 This is especially bad and prevalent in the United States, where you start out with just two weeks vacation. That's about the worst grind in the developed world. I really myself started questioning this lifestyle when I was a teenager, and this is because my older friends, sort of those that were getting into their late teens, they were relatable to me, and they started going down this path and telling me about it. And suddenly, they couldn't play baseball or tennis with me during the day because they started working during their summers. Now that's not so bad in itself, but stay with me. I also looked at the adults around me and noticed that most traded the majority of their waking hours for work that they didn't even like. Now, my dad was a good worker. He worked 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. faithfully Monday to Friday, and despite being a good worker, he certainly didn't love his job. As a teen, then I found it confounding that so many people were working Monday through Friday, primarily why, primarily to reach the weekend. Wednesday was celebrated as. Day, this sort of strange admission that the work week was something to climb over and survive. You're surrendering 50 weeks to earn two weeks of vacation. You're repeating that very bargain for 40 years and hoping you still have enough money, energy, and health to enjoy retirement. And what puzzled me most was where this was happening. We are not some impoverished nation with paltry resources and limited opportunity. This is the United States, the most powerful and perhaps the most prosperous nation in the world. Keith Weinhold 5:40 This is the part that I still can't work out in my head. Almost everybody falls into a narrow, rigid groove and grinds. Eventually, the groove becomes a rut. Then the rut gets a job title and a dental plan. Many even form their identity around this. Fear is the number one motivator that gets employees to show up at work. So then, do most people lead fear-based lives? It's almost insane. Sheesh! We have skyscrapers, interstate highways, world-class universities, abundant natural resources, advantageous geography, rule of law. We've got vast capital markets. We've got technology that sent people to the moon before I was born. Endless possibilities, but yet the standard life plan is to spend our most vivacious years doing something that we didn't even want to do. What a paradox! How could a nation create so much wealth while so many people have such little control over their own time? Even then, as a teenager, I remember thinking, "Gosh, there has got to be a better way than this system somehow. I didn't yet know the way, so I started going to college at age 18. Keith Weinhold 7:16 But this path put me on that same trajectory of get good grades, land a job, max up my 401k, which would reduce my salary, and work for four decades, and then cross my fingers and just somehow hope that promotions, inflation, taxes, a stock market that I couldn't control, and life itself would cooperate. I mean, that plan could kind of work, but your time is still doing most of the work. Your employer rents your time usually one hour at a time, and if you stop supplying the hours, then soon enough your income stops too. Capital compound. labor doesn't. The better path is to gradually separate your income from your time. That's what I began doing when, while I was working full time, I bought my first income-producing rental property a few years later, a few years after college, in fact, doing that on the side, divergent, black sheep. I was stepping out of the groove. Now I own an asset that created leverage and income, whether I'm working, sleeping, camping, climbing a mountain, or spending time with my family. So the goal then it's not to avoid hard work entirely. I mean, meaningful work that can even provide some purpose and achievement and pride. But what provides wealth? What are you going to do for that? Wealth is what happens when you're not working. Wealth is what happens when you're sleeping. Labor produces income. Assets create wealth. Grinding should be a season, even your contribution to society, but not your primarily financial strategy. So the bottom line is that we don't want to win the grind Olympics, income-producing assets help us build a life that we don't have to postpone. The entire conventional life plan, the whole thing, just never felt right to me. Intuitively and rationally, deep down, you know, think to yourself: Doesn't at least some part of you feel that way too? Thank God that I found real estate. I don't love it. I love what it does for me. You've got to love what it does for you. Keith Weinhold 9:54 One attribute that your income property gives you is control. So. With that in mind, I put together the top five ways to increase your rental property income countdown style from number five to number one. Since you do own an asset that you can control, so we're talking about giving your rental property a raise here, and you know your property does not even need to appreciate in order for you to make it more valuable, your property doesn't need to sit around waiting for the market to appreciate like it's waiting for a promotion from corporate or something, which always takes too long. You can manufacture more income yourself. So net operating income or NOI, it only has two moving parts. It is property income minus operating expenses. Push income up or pull expenses down, and you've effectively given yourself a raise. Better yet, on an income-valued property like a five-plus unit apartment building, every additional dollar of NOI can create far more than $1 of property value. So here are the top five ways to increase your property's income. Keith Weinhold 11:10 The fifth best way is to add ancillary income, because monthly rent it's not the only asset inside your property. Now, depending on what property type you have and what the local laws are, you can charge for pets, parking, storage, laundry, furnishings. You can charge for internet packages, utility reimbursement, reserved garages, upgraded amenities, or you can even charge in some cases for application, administrative, or lease break fees. The best ancillary income it provides something that the resident genuinely values. We're here to serve and give value to others. Importantly, it should feel like an option for your tenant with these things, not some toll booth placed between the tenant and their front door. We know how annoying it is to have a tip screen swung around and placed in your face. Even an additional 25 or $50 per unit each month that can become meaningful across several properties. The fourth best way is to cut your controllable operating expenses, and you know what most investors do, and it is easy to fall into this, and I certainly have too at times. You know, most investors they carefully negotiate the property's purchase price at the beginning, and then they spend years casually accepting every recurring bill, audit your expenses rather than just accepting last year's cost plus inflation. Keith Weinhold 12:49 So closely look at your property management fees, landscaping and snow removal, pest control, cleaning, trash service, water consumption, and any leaks that you might have. Common area electricity, repair labor and material markups, service contracts, and preventive maintenance. Gosh, I really lost a lot of money in pest control one time when the pest would just move from one apartment unit to the other, and we just couldn't get it trapped or stopped. Loyalty is admirable in marriage. It is less compelling when your landscaping company raises its price 14% every year. So solicit competing bids, consolidate your vendors where you can, install efficient fixtures where the payback period makes sense and where the break-even math works. But now, don't confuse expense reduction with maintenance neglect. Keith Weinhold 13:53 That is one danger. So you know, if you delay a $300 repair until it becomes a $3,000 emergency, well, that really doesn't increase your NOI. It merely makes this month's numbers lie. Now, as I tell you about this list, you might think sometimes, "Oh, I've heard of that one before. Okay, but yeah, are you actually doing it? The third best way to increase your property's income is to challenge taxes and shop insurance because property taxes and insurance they are really among your property's largest operating expenses. So therefore, if you get good at this, you can both increase your net income and you will have gained a new skill that you can apply later and elsewhere. Yet you know a lot of owners they treat property tax and insurance sort of like the weather. They complain about them and then they just assume that nothing can be done. Possible moves that you can make are appealing in excessive property tax assessment, correct inaccurate property records. You can compare insurance carriers as often as annually. Adjust your deductibles when it's appropriate. Be sure you remove redundant coverage. Make sure that there's no overlap there. You can add safety or resilience improvements that qualify for insurance discounts, and then at the same time, sometimes that improves your property's value. You can check the property's classification and claims history for any errors there. So you know every legitimate dollar saved that flows directly into your NOI, your net operating income. Remember, mortgage payments though they do not factor into NOI. Neither do major capital expenditures. Refinancing can improve your cash flow, but that does not increase the property's NOI, and that's what we're talking about today. But when it comes to property tax appeals, you remember a while back on the show, perhaps a year ago, I went into detail on just how you can do that. Keith Weinhold 16:00 Now we're up to number two. The second best way to increase your NOI is to raise rents intelligently, and really this is the most obvious strategy. But it isn't as simple as typing a larger number into your renewal letter and then just sort of hoping that your tenant doesn't notice. Bring rents closer to market without automatically chasing the absolute maximum. That can include gradual increases at renewal, premiums for upgraded units. How about a premium for the unit with the best view? If you have one of those, higher rent for furnished units, appropriate charges for garages or shorter lease terms. I mean, shorter lease terms, like a six month instead of a 12 month, that can get you a bump up in the rent. Be sure to eliminate any unnecessary concessions, like the first month's rent is free. Do you really have to continue to do that? And use better listing photos and copy to support higher rents. It's easy to have AI write some good snappy copy for you today. So the objective here is economic occupancy, not merely the highest advertised rent, because raising the rent $100, if that's going to create an extra month of vacancy that is stepping over dollars to pick up dimes. Know the market, understand the tenant, and make increases that improve NOI rather than merely improving the asking price for the REM. And the top way, the number one way to increase NOI is reduce vacancy and turnover. Yes, you might have heard that before, but it is still the most overlooked NOI lever, even though it's number one. An occupied unit at a sensible rent that often produces more income than an overpriced empty one. Keith Weinhold 17:58 The way to improve your occupancy is by you starting renewal conversations 60 to 90 days before that lease comes due. Respond quickly to maintenance requests. I mean, few things frustrate a tenant more than a ceiling that is leaked for a month. Pre-market an upcoming vacancy that you have. Start that process early. Complete your turns faster, screen residents carefully, and unless you're in an especially hot market, consider offering renewal incentives when turnover would cost you substantially more than doing that. So there are a bunch of ideas for reducing vacancy and turnover. Another one, more of a modern-day one, is for you to buy and operate new build property because tenants tend to stay in new builds longer. They love that feeling that no one has ever lived there before. Suppose a unit rents for $1,800 a month. All right. Well, then one vacant month costs you $1,800 before cleaning, repairs, utilities, advertising, and leasing expenses. So the true cost of that turnover could easily be three or $4,000. And when you consider that, then giving a good resident a $250 one time renewal incentive that doesn't look generous that looks profitable for you. Keeping a responsible tenant, you know that might be the biggest quote unquote rent increase available. Just simply keeping a responsible tenant because occupied properties produce income, and empty properties produce invoices. Keith Weinhold 19:48 Now that I've told you about the five ways to increase your property's income, let me give you some more motivation for this. It's about how $250 can become 50. $1,000. Suppose you select just a few of these five improvements, and say that that increases your NOI by just $250 per month. Okay, that's nice. That's cash in your pocket, and if you happen to apply it to a five-plus unit apartment building, since it's also valued on NOI. You take 250 bucks times 12. That is $3,000 a year at a 6% capitalization rate. Take 3000 divided by point 06. That is $50,000. You just created 50k of additional property value from only $250 of monthly NOI creation. Yeah, you are up 50k now, and here's the thing: you did not do anything that substantial. It's not like you added another story to a property, or you discovered oil underneath your parking lot, or you convinced a celebrity to move in. Okay, these are practical things that you can do in control. You simply operated the property better, and this forced appreciation relationship that applies most directly, though, to commercial and larger multifamily properties because those are the types that are valued based upon their income. A single-family rental or a duplex or a fourplex that is generally appraised primarily through comparable sales. So its higher NOI might not immediately produce the same increase in appraised value, but in either case, higher NOI it still means more cash flow for you, a stronger financial cushion, and a better performing investment. The bottom line here is that you can wait for the market to increase your property's value, or you can operate the property better and create value yourself, raise income, control expenses, and keep good residents. That is how you improve NOI without increasing your blood pressure. Keith Weinhold 22:10 Coming up on the next few shows, we're going to speak with the original co-author of the book Rich Dad Poor Dad. Yes, we had Robert Kiyosaki on here earlier this year, but we're going to talk with the co-author alongside Robert Kiyosaki. A lot of people don't know who that is. That is going to be interesting on another upcoming episode. The man that wrote the book on the 8020 rule called the Pareto principle, he will be here. That's where 80% of the results come from. 20% of the effort. So here on GRE, there's a lot of education, strategy, and mindset coming up straight ahead today. When stocks crash, what happens to real estate? That's next. I'm Keith Weinhold. You're listening to Get Rich Education. Let me ask you something: If you've worked hard to build wealth, is your money positioned to actually support your goals. A lot of accredited investors leave capital sitting in cash because it feels safe, but inflation and missed income opportunities can quietly erode its value.

Keith Weinhold 24:49 Welcome back to Get Rich Education. I'm your host Keith Weinhold, and this is episode 625. AI songs are becoming more popular. Fortunately. AI podcast hosts-they really aren't that much of a thing yet, or else I might not be here. Thank goodness that listeners still want to hear from a real person. When stocks crash, what happens to home prices? Since 1980, there have been 10 or more major stock downturns. Guess how many of those cause national home prices to crash? Exactly zero. Now there was one pretty enormous housing decline, but that one started in housing. And what happens next? It reveals something that every real estate investor should understand a lot like real estate right now. Stocks are hovering near their all-time highs. Okay, both major assets, real estate and stocks, bumping up against all-time highs. There is a predictable rhythm about what happens to real estate when stocks crash. Now, when we look at stocks' seven big downturns that occurred just this century, as measured by the S&P 500, you know, first a lot of people think that stocks are overvalued here in the late 2020s. That is based on measures like the historic P/E ratio, the Shiller cape ratio, and the Buffett indicator. I mean, some investors are just disillusioned by how stocks' movement makes so little sense anymore. For example, when the latest labor number showed that 162,000 jobs were added in a month. That tripled expectations. I mean, people should have been like, "Hey, go USA! This is great. People are employed. All that. Nope. The stock market fell specifically in response to that. Why? Because strong employment increases the chances of higher interest rates, and sure enough, the Fed did then raise rates. Keith Weinhold 27:09 Oh, geez, what? So a labor market collapse is then bad for America, and that's good for stocks. Yes, that is how it works. That is just stupid. So, with that context in mind, let's see what actually happened to national home prices this century during all the major stock market downturns that were not caused by housing, and then we'll get back to housings. Okay, during the dot-com bust in 9/11, that whole period about 25 years ago, stocks again. This is all per the S and p5 100 crashed 49% Home prices were up 23% during that time. We'll get back to the global financial crisis shortly. During the 2011 debt ceiling crisis, do you even remember that stocks went down 19 percent. Home prices went down just slightly, 1 percent. During the 2018 Fed tightening and trade war sell-off, stocks were down 20 percent, a classic bear market. Home prices were up 1 percent. Then came COVID. In barely a month, stocks plunged a jaw-dropping 34% This was in 2020. It was like a flash crash. What happened to home prices then? They were up 1% just a little. So, are you beginning to see a pattern, or perhaps a lack of one here during 2022's inflation peak and Fed tightening bear market stocks fell 25 percent. Home prices they were up 4% during that time period, and then during the 2025 tariff sell-off, you might remember Trump called that Liberation Day. Stocks were down 19 percent. Home prices. were essentially unchanged. Keith Weinhold 29:06 All right, so there they were: six major stock market downturns this century, not one housing crash. All right, now let's turn the telescope around because 2008 was different since the crash was real estate induced, and it is the only time in the life of you or I or anyone alive today, even a 90-year-old, where national home prices took a significant fall. In fact, they were down 27 percent, and it took them a few years to fall that much. All right. Well, what did stocks do during this period? They fell even more, down 57% more than twice as much, 57% I mean, just imagine having a million-dollar stock portfolio and seeing its value cave in, down to 430k from a million. Okay, that's what really happened march 6, 2009, when the S and P hit its global financial crisis low, and that happened over a 17 month stock collapse. Okay, so what's really the summary? It is that in the six times that stocks led a price crash this century. Real estate held up, or it rose, and the one time real estate led the crash, stocks fell more than twice as much. Keith Weinhold 30:31 It was 27 %versus 57%. All right. Well, that is what's happened this century. But you know this cause and effect relationship or lack thereof, that didn't just begin happening in 2000. When we stretch the history back to 1980, which is Jimmy Carter, almost Ronald Reagan era days, stocks had four more big downturns. We had the Volcker Bear Market, the famous 1987 Black Monday stock market crash, the Gulf War sell-off, and the LTCM crisis. During those four stock crashes, home prices also either stayed resilient or they rose. All right. Well, all of this is because homes and stocks, you know, they just aren't connected by some push and pull relationship. Stocks reprice in seconds. Fear spreads. Algorithms sell, and billions of dollars can disappear before lunch. Instead, housing moves more like a cargo ship that you're trying to turn around in the Mississippi River, it can take a long time. Housing transactions take months. Prices depend on local supply and local incomes, and mortgage availability, and whether homeowners are actually forced to sell. Housing provides something that every human actually needs and cannot be easily disrupted by AI. I mean, AI still cannot download a three-bedroom house onto a vacant lot. And of course, during any stock crash, what else happens with real estate? Your rent just keeps coming in as well. So the bottom line here is we're learning from history rather than having a hunch again. Home prices don't react to stock market crashes. Stock crashes and housing downturns are different events. Keith Weinhold 32:32 A falling stock market it can eventually weaken consumer confidence. In in a severe recession, some of that can trickle in and affect housing, but history shows that a stock crash alone has not caused national home prices to fall. When stocks scream, real estate just kind of shrugs. Now, as we get back to talking about today, with real estate being cash flow challenged, you usually need a deal in order to make the numbers work. And as we know, for more than two years now, it has been wise to buy new build property and have that home builder buy down your mortgage rate rather than getting a property price discount. And do you realize that it actually works out better for you in almost every case for you to get your rate bought down than it is to get a discount. Yeah, it is often substantially better. Let's just think about an example. Say you're putting a 20% down payment on a 300k property at a seven and a half percent mortgage rate. Okay, let's compare your seller discounting the purchase price by 20k versus them instead using 20k to buy down your mortgage rate. All right, in the first scenario, let's call it then a purchase price reduction. The seller reduces it from 300k down to 280k. Your monthly payment would be 1566 $1,566. All right. Well, then your monthly savings from the price discount would be $112. You would also need 4k less for the down payment. Okay, 112 bucks a month is helpful to you. Keith Weinhold 34:18 That might buy you dinner for two at the Olive Garden or something, at a wildly overpriced airport convenience store. By the way, this is a bottle of water and one almond, 112 bucks. Okay, but now let's compare it with the second option. If instead of a price discount, you pay the full 300k and use the 20k as a seller credit, a credit from the seller, and you use that to permanently buy the mortgage rate from seven and a half down to five and a half percent. In this case, even though it's a larger amount financed, your monthly payment is no longer 1566. It's just 1363, so your monthly savings is no longer 112 bucks. That Olive Garden dinner for two, it is 315 bucks. So therefore, using the seller credit instead of reducing the purchase price that ups your monthly cash flow by about 203 bucks. All right, and this was just an illustration. It's not a universal lender rate sheet carved into a stone tablet. But the larger lesson remains. Okay, terms are often more important than price. Negotiate the financing. That is the lesson. And of course, you can try to use this most anywhere with any seller, but it's been especially popular with American home builders for two plus years now. Keith Weinhold 35:47 The bottom line is that the best deal isn't always the property with the lowest price; it is the one with the best financing, and it's one of the strategies that Mid South Homebuyers is going to offer on Wednesday night's webinar just two days away, and there's no negotiation needed. They are offering this, and it's where I'm going to be appearing live, and you're invited to join us from the comfort of your home or a coffee shop or wherever you are. So we're talking about properties in Memphis, Little Rock, and North Texas. New build properties for as little as about 200k, and some fully renovated resale properties for as little as 150k, and even less than that. Now, low price isn't reason enough to own an income property, but it's the fact that you get a strong rent in a stable market to support that, and they're offering what they call their triple five terms. They'll buy your mortgage rate down into the fives and provide property management for just a 5% fee for five years. And I just learned that for attendees of Wednesday night's event, they will even announce a promo code there, and you will get triple five terms for life on both financed and cash deals. Keith Weinhold 37:12 And you know, I've got to say that when I began in real estate investing, I wish that any of this would have existed. Like when I began, I wish there even would have been new build property available. They just didn't even have that for income property when I started out.

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP The 2026 Montreal Road Race World Championship was the best race I've ever seen. I am actually a bit lost for words after watching that. With Pogačar out, we knew it was going to be exciting, but who could have predicted THAT?! A race like that deserves an emergency podcast, so I called up EF Education Easypost DS Tom Southam and Greenedge pro cyclist Luke Durbridge for this special episode of The Race Communiqué. In this episode, Luke, Tom, and I unpack everything that went down on the streets of Montreal. 270 kms with almost 4,000m of elevation was always going to be a brutal day out that left only the strongest riders fighting out for the win, and that's exactly what we got. Endless attacks from Pidcocks, dramatic collapses from Evenepoel and Seixas, an incredible comeback from Pedersen, and a ridiculous show of strength from USA Jorgenson, Simmons, and - the eventual winner - Brandon McNulty; you could not look away from start to finish. Guys, there are just so many stories from this race to list here. You're gonna have to sit back, get yourself a big steaming bowl of Poutine, and relive this absolutely incredible race with us right here on the Race Communiqué Cheers, Mitch The Race Communiqué is brought to you by TrainingPeaks!

In the summer of 1518, one woman walked into a street in Strasbourg and started dancing. Days later, dozens of people were doing the same thing. Within weeks, chronicles claimed the number had reached into the hundreds, and city officials responded with doctors, professional musicians, a ban on dancing and eventually a pilgrimage to a mountain shrine. This week, we look at what we actually know about the Dancing Plague of 1518, why the famous death toll may not be as solid as you've heard, and the leading theory for what caused hundreds of people to apparently lose control of their own bodies.

Sam and Calen talk about the stuff actually impacting your life. US politics, the endless wars, and how billionaires and social media apps are using all of us to make a buck. No fluff or expert pretense, just two guys trying to figure out how everything got so out of hand.
In “Imaginal Meditation,” Emily West Horn introduces an approach to imaginal practice—drawing on Vajrayana deity yoga, Jack Kornfield, Chögyam Trungpa, and Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche—to show how invoking, dissolving, and embodying the image of the Buddha can loosen the boundary between self & world, inclining the mind toward non-duality.
How much of your digital life are you actually choosing? In this episode of Books That Make You, author Heather Henderson joins Desireé Duffy to discuss her book, Reclaim: How to Stop Scrolling Through Your Life and Start Living It, and the subtle ways technology can shape our attention, habits, choices, and relationships. After spending a decade working inside technology companies including Google and Uber, Heather saw firsthand how deeply our digital environments can influence the way we live. She also experienced the personal cost of constant achievement and connection, including a stress-induced asthma attack while working at Google that forced her to reconsider the way she was living. Heather explains why she believes technology itself is not the enemy. Instead, the challenge is recognizing when unconscious habits begin making decisions for us. The conversation explores the five human needs Heather says we often turn to technology to meet: ease, distraction, connection, growth, and impact. She also introduces her digital regulator archetypes, including "the watcher," and explains how identifying the emotional needs behind our digital habits can help us make more intentional choices. Heather and Desireé also discuss "growth theater," the habit of consuming endless self-improvement content without applying what we learn, and Heather's one-to-one rule for turning information into action. What would change if you stopped measuring your life by what you captured, posted, or consumed—and started paying closer attention to the moments you were actually living?

It would take 10 Falcon 9 launches (277 V2 satellites) to add that same amount of capacity. Future Starship launches will eventually carry up to 60 next-gen Starlink V3 satellites, adding ~61,000 Gbps of network capacity in a single launch. That means each Starship launch will be able to deploy roughly as much Starlink capacity as 23 Falcon 9 launches combined - equivalent to about 640 V2 satellites.Play CFO from TMobileHubris.

Imogen Poots and Jesse Eisenberg get trapped in fake suburban hell in Vivarium (2019), a quintissential Liminal Horror Film. Who would have guessed that the hot trend in the 2020s would be liminal space horror? Always visually arresting, but often slow, bleak, and depressing, this subgenre has become an out-of-nowhere genre favorite thanks to the wild success of Backrooms. In addition to smashing the box office with over $360 million in earnings, it also attracted young moviegoers, which runs counter to what most marketing experts would expect younger audiences to flock to. The Scariest Things took some time to figure out why this unlikely trend has become so popular in Episode 216: Liminal Horror. Slow burn, or as Mike Campbell will suggest: No burn. Liminal horror takes its time and forces you to stare into the corners of the screen. If you watch long enough, maybe something will happen. Then again, maybe not. That’s the gamble of liminal horror. It also makes jump scares that much more rewarding when they do get sprung. This trope bathes in the uncanny valley. Unsettling. Unnerving. Something just a touch off, creating an atmosphere of unease. This can be with the way people look, or the geometry of the room, or the color of the sky. In this way, liminal horror can be frustrating. And yet, fascinating. Many films that employ this style feel like dreams or nightmares. Characters question the reality of their situation, trapped in a personal hell. Definition: The Horror HQ has a terrific definition. “Liminal horror taps into the eerie feeling evoked by “in-between” spaces, unsettling environments that seem familiar yet uncomfortably off-kilter. Unlike traditional horror, which often relies on monsters, jump scares, or gore, liminal horror creates a more insidious type of fear, drawing on subtle, deeply psychological cues to unnerve and disorient. Rooted in the concept of liminality, this form of horror brings us to places where boundaries blur—between one time, space, or state of being and another—invoking a dread that is both existential and mysterious. “ Liminal Spaces in Design As an architect, I appreciate how the built environment can confuse, shock, or unsettle someone’s experience. The works of MC Escher, Giovanni Piranesi, and Robert Eisenman all confronted viewers with challenging environments. These designers delighted in the visual stress these deliberately agitating fantastical places created. Holocaust Museum, Berlin, by Peter Eisenman Relativity by M.C. Escher The Gothic Arch by Giovanni Piranesi Abandoned Fairytale Castles in Mudurnu Turkey Some of the greatest film auteurs have dabbled in liminal space. Stanley Kubrick. Roman Polanski. Robert Altman. David Lynch. And yet liminal horror has launched the careers of some very young visionary directors: Alex Ullom (It Ends), Kane Parsons (Backrooms), and Kyle Edward Ball (Skinamarink) have arrived out of seemingly nowhere (which is appropriate for the trope). This is an era of A.I. and fake news accusations. Who is to believe what their own eyes are telling them? Don’t expect copious gore or big action sequences in these films. These films also tend to be light on dialogue. The characters often keep their distance from each other. Perhaps liminal horror was born out of the pandemic, when we were all kept apart from each other. Don’t get too close. Dangerous! What these films may lack in adrenaline and bravado is made up for in emotional intelligence. These movies are designed to spark conversations afterward over a cup of coffee. Podcast Episode 216: Exploring Liminal Horror Conceptually, liminal horror is new to the scene. It’s a buzzy topic, but when you do a bit of research, there are a number of films that fit into this trope, though the word liminal hasn’t been applied to these films until recently. Liminal Horror isn’t solely a film style either. Liz Williams brings out two very interesting books to consider when thinking liminally.

In part two of the Overcoming Technology series, Dave and Bethlie continue unpacking how smartphones and social media quietly reshape our habits, relationships, and spiritual life — and what to do about it. Building on Tony Reinke's 12 Ways Your Phone Is Changing You, they walk through the specific ways technology damages attention, relationships, and reflection, then move into practical, doable changes. Recap the 12 ways phones change us (from Tony Reinke's book), continued from Part 1: - Phones constantly pull our attention away from the present moment (and the "seven-minute foundation" needed for meaningful conversation) - Digital interaction often replaces physical presence with people around us - Online metrics drive an unhealthy desire for affirmation (likes, followers, influencer culture) - Skimming digital feeds reduces deep reading comprehension - Endless entertainment is available at any second (the disappearance of boredom) - Online personas mask true self-understanding - Digital connectivity frequently leads to isolated lifestyles rather than true community - Screens provide private access to harmful or distracting imagery - An overload of trivia crowds out deep reflection - Constant checking stems from anxiety over being disconnected - Impersonal digital spaces lower our patience and kindness in communication - Constant notifications eliminate the silent spaces needed for prayer and calm thought The four-step framework for overcoming technology: Determine if you need to overcome technology (are you controlled by it? better because of it? how is it affecting your kids?) Educate yourself (read books, research — they recommend The Tech-Wise Family and 12 Ways Your Phone Is Changing You) Recognize the damage it can cause (the list above) Determine the changes needed — practical steps discussed: - Set time limits (using phone settings or a timer/Alexa) - Change habits (phones out of the bedroom, off the table at meals, a charging basket) - Replace with something better (a regular watch instead of a smart watch) - Silence notifications and check at scheduled times - Remove non-essential apps (or access certain platforms only on a computer) - Turn off notifications and keep the phone on silent
Tiombe found sobriety at a young age and was blessed to find a group of caring young people who helped her. They were the type who if you couldn't read the Big Book, they'd read it to you. She tells Olis and Don about learning that she not only had to give up drinking, but also the lifestyle she'd built to survive. Tiombe also talks about being a seeker through meditation.

When was the last time you opened a beneficial book, and enjoyed reading it so much that didn't want to put it down? Some of us may wonder if that's even possible, right? We have never had more Islamic content within reach. Lectures. Clips. Podcasts. Posts. Endless information. Yet somewhere in all of it, many of us have lost something the great scholars of this Ummah considered indispensable: a genuine love for reading. In Falling in Love With Reading, Sheikh Muhammad Huzaifah takes us through the lives of scholars whose relationship with books was completely different. They read and reread. Copied books by hand. Taught them repeatedly. Travelled with them. Books did not merely occupy their shelves - they became among their closest companions. This series is not simply about encouraging Muslims to read more. It is about rebuilding a relationship with reading that nurtures your Iman, deepens your understanding, raises your ambition, and helps you become a serious student of knowledge. And Episode 1 confronts us with a striking thought: If Ibn al-Jawzi was already warning about declining ambition more than 800 years ago, what would he say about an age of constant notifications, social media, endless entertainment and short-form content?

In a jaw-dropping television appearance, novice Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick offered a blistering defense of the administration's trade policies, rising energy prices, and Donald Trump's controversial promise of a $5,000 cash dividend. Beneath his theatrical delivery lies an unwavering, cult-like devotion to Donald Trump—a sycophancy that repeatedly forces Lutnick to choose political loyalty over economic reality. As the U.S. economy falters under trade friction, persistent cost-of-living pressures, rising inflation, and historic national debt, mainstream economists view Lutnick's boasts not as credible fiscal strategy, but as ideological posturing meant to insulate his boss from public accountability.

But you're still allowed to laugh & find joy. You can be healing & laughing. Rebuilding & living fully. Carrying something heavy & still making beautiful memories. Joy isn't denial. It's refusing to let a hard chapter take everything from you.” The quote (from LifeWithLindsey.IG) he shares with us is this: “I saw this quote that said: ‘The best thing I learned this year was to how still enjoy my life during my storms. As long as we have life, we will have problems. My entire world can be in chaos, and I'll still try to find a reason to laugh and smile.' And that landed so hard with me.” I really got to thinking about this (and feeling emotional about it as well), as to how I'm still looking to learn and grow through my challenges and setbacks… and there are many. I also know we all have them. Having life = having issues. We might as well tap into them to learn more about ourselves and the life that we are part of. Endless times to learn and grow.

This month we are featuring a feed drop of an amazing new podcast that has just launched on the RQ Network The Gentleman From Hell. The Gentleman From Hell is a brand new, chilling, horror audio drama. From the brilliant creators behind Maeltopia and The Sleep Wake Cycle. In The Gentleman from Hell an entire town is gone. Without a trace. No signs, no warnings. Just silence. This is the story of Cold Sparrow. Twenty-four years ago, the peaceful town of Cold Sparrow became the center of one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in modern history. Every resident vanished. Among them, the enigmatic billionaire Benjamin Veers, whose strange ways made him an icon of intrigue. The town, once forgotten, now infamous. The questions? Endless. The answers? Nonexistent. For over two decades, investigators have been left baffled—cults, kidnappings, disappearances—none have led them closer to the truth. But now, three celebrated private investigators—famous for bringing down one of the most dangerous cults in history—have been called upon to tackle this mystery. Known for taking on the cases no one else could solve, they're determined to uncover what really happened in Cold Sparrow. Yet, the deeper they dig, the darker the whispers become. Rumors swirl of something far more sinister than anyone ever imagined. Could the mystery of Cold Sparrow be tied to forces that reach far beyond our world? Could it be linked to something... infernal? Some mysteries, once uncovered, may be better left untouched. Cold Sparrow: A town that disappeared… but something still lingers in the shadows. The investigation begins… now." Introduction and outro by Anusia Battersby.

Today we are talking about something that I think we all need to know about… How to reset your dopamine. And before you think this is going to be one of those extreme episodes where I tell you to throw your phone into the ocean, stop drinking coffee, sit in a dark room for three days and eliminate everything fun from your life… That is absolutely not what we are doing. Because dopamine isn't bad. We need dopamine. Dopamine is part of what makes us want things. Pursue things. Work toward goals. Get up and go. The problem is that we are living in an environment where we can get enormous amounts of stimulation with almost zero effort. Open Instagram. Refresh your email. Check likes. Open TikTok. Eat something hyper-palatable. Buy something. Get a notification. Watch another episode. Click another video. Check your texts. Pick up your phone because you have 17 seconds with nothing to do. We have essentially eliminated boredom. And I think we need to talk about what that is doing to us. Because I don't think most people have a motivation problem. I think some people have made normal life too boring compared to the stimulation they consume all day long. Think about this. Working toward a goal is slow. Building a business is slow. Getting stronger is slow. Improving a relationship is slow. Reading a book is slow. Learning something difficult is slow. But your phone can give you novelty every half second. So what happens when your brain gets accustomed to incredibly stimulating rewards that require almost no effort? The things that actually build an awesome life can start feeling painfully boring. And THAT is what I want to change today. I've been going deep into what Andrew Huberman, Chris Williamson, Stanford addiction psychiatrist Anna Lembke, Peter Attia and Gary Brecka have discussed around dopamine, reward, pleasure, discomfort and motivation. And there is one massive theme that keeps coming up: We need to stop getting so many rewards without earning them. We need less cheap dopamine… And more earned dopamine. More accomplishment dopamine. More anticipation. More effort. More challenge. More doing hard things and feeling awesome afterward. So today we're going to talk about what dopamine actually does, why our modern environment can completely screw with our motivation, what people mean by a dopamine reset, and most importantly… How we actually do it. Not forever. Not perfectly. But intentionally enough that normal life starts feeling interesting again. Because imagine waking up and actually WANTING to work on your goals. Imagine sitting in your car without immediately opening your phone. Imagine finishing a workout and letting that accomplishment be the reward instead of instantly needing another stimulus. Imagine being fully engaged in dinner. Or a conversation. Or a walk. Or your kids. Or your work. That's what we're after. Not less enjoyment. More enjoyment from the things that actually matter. FIRST… WHAT IS DOPAMINE? Dopamine isn't simply the "pleasure chemical" This is probably the biggest misunderstanding. Dopamine plays a huge role in motivation, pursuit, learning, reinforcement and determining what your brain decides is worth pursuing again. Think less "this makes me happy" and more: "Go get that again." It's a molecule heavily involved in wanting and pursuing. Huberman explains dopamine in terms of baseline and peaks You have a baseline level of dopamine. Then certain experiences generate temporary increases above that baseline. The important part is what happens afterward. A big dopamine peak can be followed by a period where dopamine activity falls below where it was previously. This is part of why something incredible can sometimes leave you feeling strangely flat afterward. The higher and more frequently we chase enormous peaks, the more ordinary activities can start losing their appeal. Think about it like contrast If you eat incredibly sweet processed foods all day… A blueberry doesn't taste very sweet. There isn't anything wrong with the blueberry. Your reference point changed. The same general concept applies here. When your environment becomes filled with intense stimulation… Quiet feels boring. Reading feels boring. Work feels boring. Walking feels boring. A normal conversation feels boring. Your life didn't necessarily become boring. Your stimulation threshold changed. WHAT I MEAN BY "CHEAP DOPAMINE" I'm going to use the phrase cheap dopamine throughout this episode even though scientifically dopamine itself isn't cheap or expensive. What I mean is: A high-reward experience requiring very little effort. Things like: Endless short-form videos Constant social media refreshing Notifications Online shopping Gambling Highly processed foods Video games for hours and hours Constant snacking Drinking Continually checking texts Refreshing email Internet rabbit holes Watching episode after episode after episode Constant novelty And here's the key… None of those things has to be inherently evil. It's the dose. The frequency. And whether you've lost control over your consumption. There's a massive difference between choosing to watch a movie on Saturday night… And being literally unable to stand in an elevator for 25 seconds without checking your phone. That's the part I want us to notice. THE WORLD HAS REMOVED THE WAITING This might be one of the biggest problems. Almost everything used to have some friction. You wanted food? You cooked it. You wanted entertainment? You waited until your show came on. You wanted to talk to your friend? You called them. Maybe they weren't home. You wanted to buy something? You drove somewhere. You wanted information? You found a book. Now? Everything is immediate. Food. Entertainment. Shopping. Attention. Validation. Communication. Information. Novelty. Almost every human desire has an app attached to it. And our brains evolved in an environment where rewards generally required work. Now we can receive reward after reward while lying horizontally on the couch. That is a massive mismatch. THE PLEASURE-PAIN SEESAW One of my favorite explanations comes from Dr. Anna Lembke. She describes pleasure and pain almost like opposite sides of a balance. When we repeatedly push hard toward pleasure… Our brain tries to restore balance. And over time, you may need more of the stimulus just to experience the same effect. This is incredibly obvious with severe addiction. But I think it's useful to recognize much milder versions in ourselves. Have you ever: Opened Instagram for five minutes and 45 minutes disappeared? Finished a show and immediately needed another episode? Finished dessert and started looking for something else sweet? Checked one notification and then somehow checked four different apps? Picked up your phone without consciously deciding to? That automatic reaching is important. You aren't necessarily choosing anymore. You're responding. And I want us to get back into choosing. WHY NOTHING FEELS EXCITING ANYMORE Sometimes people say: "I'm unmotivated." "I don't feel like working." "I can't concentrate." "I'm bored." "I don't really feel excited about anything." Obviously there can be many medical, psychological and situational reasons for those feelings. But there is another question worth asking: How much stimulation are you consuming? Because if you're exposing yourself to novelty constantly… Your brain never gets a chance to be bored enough to create. Never bored enough to think. Never bored enough to solve a problem. Never bored enough to decide what you actually want. We're treating boredom like an emergency. I actually think boredom is incredibly productive. Some of my best ideas happen when there's nothing else coming into my brain. And we are filling every single empty pocket. DOPAMINE STACKING Huberman talks about something that I think is fascinating: stacking multiple dopamine-producing experiences together. Think about a workout. Exercise itself can be rewarding. But now we add: Pre-workout. Favorite playlist. Phone. Texts. Social media. Energy drink. Maybe stimulants. Maybe a reward meal afterward. Maybe we post the workout and check responses. We've taken one intrinsically rewarding activity and stacked reward upon reward upon reward. And his point isn't that you can never do those things. It's that you don't necessarily want every good experience in life turned up to 100 every single time. Sometimes train without the perfect playlist. Sometimes walk without the podcast. Sometimes drink the coffee without simultaneously scrolling Instagram. Sometimes eat without watching television. Separate the rewards. You don't have to eliminate pleasure. Stop supercharging every experience. LEARN TO LOVE EFFORT This might be my favorite part of the entire episode. We need to stop making the reward exclusively something that comes AFTER the work. "I'll work out and then I can have this." "I'll finish this project and then I'll reward myself." "I'll complete my work and then I'll scroll." There's nothing wrong with celebrating accomplishments. But we also want to train ourselves to associate the effort itself with something positive. Because if the entire purpose of doing something difficult is the reward waiting at the end… The work becomes something you're trying to escape. Instead: "This discomfort means I'm getting stronger." "This is hard because I'm growing." "I'm proud of myself for doing this when I don't feel like doing it." "This is what keeping promises to myself feels like." "This is who I am." That shift is huge. The workout becomes the win. Doing the work becomes the win. Keeping the promise becomes the win. USE DISCOMFORT ON PURPOSE This theme comes up across a lot of these conversations. We're living in an unbelievably comfortable world. Temperature-controlled houses. Food everywhere. Cars. Couches. Entertainment. Delivery. Escalators. Amazon. Everything is optimized to eliminate friction. But voluntary discomfort can be incredibly valuable. Exercise. Walking. Strength training. Running. Sauna. Cold exposure when appropriate and done safely. Doing something physically difficult. Getting outside when conditions aren't perfect. Taking the stairs. Having the difficult conversation. Doing the work you're avoiding. The idea isn't: "Suffering is good." The idea is: Stop organizing your entire life around avoiding discomfort. Because challenge followed by satisfaction is very different from pleasure followed by emptiness. One you earned. One you consumed. We need both fun and hard things. But modern life has heavily tilted us toward consumption. DON'T START YOUR DAY WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S DOPAMINE Here's something I think would change a lot of people's lives. Do not roll over and immediately hand your brain to your phone. Because instantly you've got: Texts. News. Instagram. Email. TikTok. Other people's emergencies. Other people's opinions. Other people's lives. Other people's accomplishments. Other people's bodies. Other people's vacations. Other people's businesses. Other people's problems. Before you've even decided what YOU want your day to look like. I would rather protect that first part of the morning. Wake up. Water. Sunlight. Walk. Workout. Journal. Think. Plan. Work. Whatever your routine is. Just don't immediately flood your brain with novelty. You should decide the direction of your day before an algorithm decides it for you. THE 2.0 DOPAMINE RESET Okay. Here is what I would actually do. Not some insane internet detox. A realistic reset. RULE #1: Identify YOUR cheap dopamine Ask yourself: What do I compulsively reach for? Not what does the internet tell me is bad. What has control over ME? Maybe yours is: Instagram. TikTok. Shopping. Sugar. Video games. News. YouTube. Email. Texting. Something else. Identify the top one or two. Don't try to become a monk overnight. RULE #2: Take a meaningful break from the biggest offender If something truly feels compulsive, consider taking a real period away from it rather than constantly trying to moderate it. Try deleting it for a week. Maybe two. Maybe 30 days. See what happens. You might be shocked by how often your hand reaches for an app that isn't there. That's valuable information. RULE #3: Stop filling every gap This is a HUGE one. We're bringing back empty space. Stand in line. Just stand there. Drive five minutes. No podcast. Walk around the block. No headphones. Sit outside. Do nothing. Take a shower without content playing. Cook dinner without a video. You are retraining yourself to tolerate a lower level of stimulation. And here's the funny thing… After a while it doesn't feel low stimulation. It feels peaceful. RULE #4: Create phone-free zones Pick places where your phone does not belong. Examples: Bedroom Dinner table Gym Family time Bathroom First hour of the morning Last hour before bed Don't rely purely on willpower. Change your environment. Leave the phone somewhere else. Make the bad habit inconvenient. RULE #5: Turn off almost every notification Notifications are someone else deciding when your attention moves. Think about that. Unless something legitimately requires immediate attention… Turn it off. RULE #6: Stop stacking everything Coffee + Instagram + television + food + texting? No. Pick one. Workout + podcast + scrolling between sets + energy drink + Instagram? Simplify it. Let an experience stand alone. Food can just be food. Coffee can just be coffee. A walk can just be a walk. A conversation can just be a conversation. RULE #7: Get your dopamine through pursuit This is the big replacement strategy. You can't just remove things. You need better things to move toward. Exercise. Building something. Learning. Working. Creating. Sports. Relationships. Adventure. Goals. Competition. Skill. Experiences. Meaningful challenges. Get obsessed with something difficult. That is completely different than being addicted to consumption. RULE #8: Do one hard thing every day I love this rule. Every day, intentionally do something that you'd rather avoid. Workout hard. Make the phone call. Send the proposal. Clean the closet. Have the conversation. Finish the project. Run the hill. Get into the cold water if that's safe for you. Walk when you'd rather sit. Do the thing you've been procrastinating. You start creating evidence: "I don't have to feel like doing something in order to do it." That is power. RULE #9: Prioritize sleep Your brain isn't operating independently of your body. If you're chronically sleep-deprived, everything becomes harder. Motivation. Impulse control. Training. Food choices. Emotional regulation. Focus. Peter Attia and Huberman both hammer sleep for a reason. If we're trying to optimize our brain while sleeping five hours… We're focusing on the wrong end of the problem. RULE #10: Morning sunlight and movement Huberman talks frequently about getting outdoor light early in the day to anchor your circadian system. I love pairing that with movement. Outside. Walk. Light. No Instagram. Let your nervous system wake up naturally. It's incredibly simple. And simple things done repeatedly tend to beat complicated hacks. THE 24-HOUR CHALLENGE Here is your challenge. For the next 24 hours: No phone for the first 30 minutes after waking. No social media until you've completed something productive. Turn off unnecessary notifications. No phone while eating. Take one walk without headphones. Do one difficult thing you've been avoiding. No double-screening. If you're watching TV, you're not also scrolling. Put your phone outside your bedroom tonight. Let yourself experience boredom. Notice every time you instinctively reach for stimulation. Don't judge yourself. Observe yourself. Because awareness is the beginning of changing anything. THEN TRY SEVEN DAYS Now let's level it up. For seven days: Reduce your biggest cheap-dopamine behavior dramatically. You don't need to eliminate all pleasure. In fact, please don't. Go to dinner. Laugh. Drink your coffee. Listen to music. Hang with friends. Enjoy your life. This isn't punishment. We're trying to reclaim our ability to enjoy NORMAL things. That's the goal. Less artificial stimulation. More real life. ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION Before you reach for something, ask: Am I choosing this, or am I escaping something? That question can completely change things. Why am I opening Instagram? Because I intentionally decided to spend 15 minutes enjoying it? Fine. Or because this task got difficult? Why am I eating this? Because I'm hungry and I want it? Fine. Or because I'm uncomfortable? Why am I drinking? Because I'm celebrating with friends? Or because I can't tolerate sitting with how I feel? Why am I checking email for the 47th time? Because I'm waiting for something important? Or because working on the project in front of me is harder? That pause between impulse and behavior… That's where your power is. CHEAP DOPAMINE VS EARNED DOPAMINE This is the easiest way I can summarize the episode. Cheap dopamine: Consume. Scroll. Click. Watch. Refresh. Snack. Buy. Escape. Earned dopamine: Build. Train. Create. Learn. Connect. Explore. Compete. Finish. Accomplish. The first category isn't evil. But if the balance of your life is overwhelmingly consumption… Don't be surprised when your motivation disappears. Shift the ratio. More creating. Less consuming. More doing. Less watching. More participating. Less observing. More real life. Less digital life. WE NEED ANTICIPATION BACK I think anticipation is disappearing. When everything is immediately available… There's nothing to look forward to. And looking forward to something is part of the fun. Plan the trip. Wait for Friday night. Save the amazing dessert for dinner. Don't buy everything the second you want it. Put the concert on the calendar. Build toward the race. Earn the reward. Delay things intentionally sometimes. The waiting isn't ruining the experience. The waiting IS part of the experience. YOUR LIFE SHOULD NOT NEED CONSTANT ENTERTAINMENT This might be the line I want you to remember. You should not need to be entertained every minute in order to enjoy your life. Your kids shouldn't either. We need boring car rides. We need afternoons with nothing scheduled. We need conversations without phones. We need walks. We need staring out the freaking window. We need thinking. We need daydreaming. We need opportunities for our brains to say: "Okay… what should we do?" Creativity often appears after the stimulation disappears. THE GOAL IS NOT LOWER DOPAMINE This is important. We're not trying to crush dopamine. We're not trying to become emotionless. We're not trying to avoid things that make us feel amazing. We're trying to protect our ability to feel amazing. That's different. We want the vacation to feel incredible. The concert. The accomplishment. The amazing dinner. The business win. The race. The adventure. The hug. The goal. The experience. We just don't need to manufacture an artificial mini-version of that feeling 800 times between breakfast and lunch. Leave some room. Let your baseline exist without constantly smashing the stimulation button. Here's what I think is so interesting about all of this. We have designed a world where almost everything that used to require effort can now be accessed instantly. And that sounds like freedom. But if we're not careful… Convenience becomes dependence. Entertainment becomes distraction. Pleasure becomes compulsion. And access becomes addiction. The answer isn't to reject modern life. I'm certainly not giving up my phone. I'm not giving up coffee. I'm not giving up Instagram. I'm not giving up amazing food or concerts or trips or all the fun things. I want MORE life. That's actually the entire point. I don't want to spend my life looking down at a screen getting tiny rewards when there are enormous rewards available by actually participating in life. I want the dopamine from doing the workout I didn't want to do. Building the business. Taking the trip. Making the memory. Trying something new. Getting really freaking good at something. Having an amazing conversation. Being completely present with my kids. Creating something I'm proud of. Doing something hard. That's the dopamine I want more of. And maybe the simplest takeaway from this whole episode is this: Stop making pleasure so easy and effort so optional. Let yourself work for things. Let yourself wait for things. Let yourself be bored. Let yourself struggle. Let yourself anticipate. Let yourself earn some of the really good feelings. Because when we stop trying to make every moment maximally stimulating… Something really cool happens. Normal life starts becoming awesome again. And that is how to be awesome at resetting your dopamine.

Dotun and Tim are joined by Maher Mezahi to wrestle with the central problem of the beautiful game: does a striker succeed or a goalie fail when the ball hits the back of the net? The Adidas Azteca that Maradona famously “helped” past Peter Shilton in 1986 went under the hammer at the weekend – but what would listeners do with the ball touched by “the hand of God”?

PhenoNet Cleared By FDA To Begin Phase 3 Trial Of Inhaled Alzheimer's Drug PhenoNet has received FDA clearance to begin a Phase 3 trial of PHENOGENE-1A, an inhaled formulation of cromolyn sodium, an asthma drug with decades of safety data. Unlike most Alzheimer's therapies, which target only APOE4 gene carriers, this ~648-person trial stratifies both carriers and non-carriers by genotype, testing whether reducing amyloid aggregation, inflammation, and microglial dysfunction can benefit a broader Alzheimer's population than current treatments reach. Host Dave Asprey explains why this genotype-inclusive design challenges the field's narrow focus on APOE4 carriers, and what it means for families with Alzheimer's history who don't carry the gene.

The discovery overturns the long-standing assumption that adult brains have limited capacity to replace lost astrocytes after injury or autoimmune disease. Host Dave Asprey unpacks why this finding reframes brain injury recovery as something the body may already be equipped to handle, and what the newly identified genetic pathways could mean for future regenerative therapies.

While collagen produced more total bone volume, the keratin scaffold generated bone that was more structurally organized and closer to natural bone architecture, while remaining stable and integrating cleanly with surrounding tissue. Host Dave Asprey explains why bone quality, not just quantity, matters for weight-bearing repair, and why a cheaper, more sustainable material outperforming the standard is a bigger deal than it sounds.

Host Dave Asprey weighs the compliance advantage of an oral option against his ongoing concerns about muscle loss, rebound weight gain, and the fact that GLP-1 drugs treat a symptom rather than the underlying metabolic cause.

Only 12% of participants hit that higher threshold. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why public health minimums are a floor, not an optimization target, and what listeners serious about cardiovascular protection should actually be aiming for.

A 2024 University of Iowa study found IV vitamin C combined with chemotherapy doubled overall survival in advanced pancreatic cancer patients. Host Dave Asprey reflects on how this vindicates a decades-old idea that was dismissed for the wrong reasons, and what it means for anyone facing a cancer diagnosis.
