Welcome to another episode of HALO Talks! Today, host Pete Moore sits down with Duff McDonald, former investment banker and well known business journalist, for a fantastic chat. Duff, whose career has spanned investment banking, business journalism, and bestselling books like “The Golden Passport” and “Tickled,” shares insights on how numbers and data have come to dominate our understanding of business and life—but why they often fail to capture what really matters. In this episode, you'll hear Duff break down the difference between “experts” and “specialists,” challenge conventional thinking on metrics, and advocate for living—and doing business—in the present. Pete and Duff explore why true connection, presence, and awareness can lead to better decisions, stronger relationships, and more meaningful work, especially in the world of health clubs and other verticals in the HALO sector. Whether you're an entrepreneur, leader, or simply curious about finding more joy and meaning in your day-to-day, this conversation will invite you to rethink how you measure success and what it means to build something that truly “tickles” you. When we talk about coming "full circle," Duff definitely can relate. He says, "I worked at Goldman Sachs for two years. I was an investment banker in their analyst program, left that and went into business journalism and spent 20 years as a magazine writer, left that and sort of stopped doing so much magazine writing when the Internet kind of destroyed the economics of print, and weirdly, ironically, ended up writing books after that!" Key themes discussed Numbers vs. Essence: Counting doesn't capture true meaning or human experience. Specialists vs. Experts: Doing is valued over analyzing and predicting. Relationships Over Metrics: Human connection outweighs numerical data in business. Entrepreneurship Mindset: Focus on purpose, not just growth or financial results. COVID Reflections: The pandemic brought unexpected personal growth and realizations. Recruiting and Team Building: Seek people driven by passion and engagement. A Few Key Takeaways:  1. Numbers Don't Capture the Whole Story: McDonald challenges the idea that, “if you have the numbers, you have the story.” Having spent years in business banking and journalism, he realized that while numbers can track growth or comparison, they can't really grasp the true essence of a business. Counting and data analysis are certainly valuable, but they're just one dimension—true meaning often lies elsewhere. 2. The Power of Presence Over Metrics: The most impactful moments in life and business happen when you're fully present in the moment—not distracted by the past or anxiously projecting into the future. Duff relates how, during the pandemic, his own mindset shifted to appreciating the “now,” leading to more genuine experiences and better decision-making. This is a reminder that being present—not just monitoring KPIs or quarterly numbers—can actually produce the strongest connections and best results. 3. The Difference Between Experts and Specialists: Duff makes a subtle but powerful distinction: Experts count, analyze, and predict; specialists do, master, and experience. (Read that again!) Real business insight (and life satisfaction) often comes from those with hands-on expertise—the “specialists”—rather than just those who look at or talk about the data. For example, if you're sick, you want the infectious disease specialist, not just the epidemiologist with numbers. 4. Human Connection and Authenticity Trump Data for Retention: Specifically for health clubs and service businesses, Duff and Pete agree that relationships are everything. Customer retention and loyalty aren't driven by clever data models, but by staff who are present, ask questions, and genuinely care. Looking people in the eye, building trust, and creating a real bond is more effective (and fulfilling) than merely simply tracking attrition rates or conversion numbers. 5. Find What “Tickles” You—and Others: Duff's philosophy, as explored in “Tickled,” is about seeking out what genuinely excites and engages you. When people are truly passionate (“tickled” by what they're doing), their energy is palpable and contagious—whether in recruiting, management, or customer interactions. Asking “What are you passionate about?” or “What tickles you?” leads to deeper, more meaningful relationships, both personally and professionally.

Rabbi Yisroel Bernath delivers a moving Simchat Torah sermon celebrating the miraculous return of the hostages, a moment when prophecy, pain, and prayer converge into pure joy. He draws a profound parallel between this homecoming and the essence of Simchat Torah, a holiday where Jews dance not because of ritual, but because of belonging. Rabbi Bernath reminds us that Jewish joy cannot be taken, it is divine, defiant, and eternal. Through the story of Isaac's hidden treasure and the timeless circle of Torah dance, he calls every Jew, believer and skeptic alike, to join the dance of unity, gratitude, and faith reborn.Key Takeaways:A Living Prophecy: Jeremiah's words, “Your children shall return to their borders”  come alive as we witness the hostages' return, transforming tears of despair into tears of gratitude.The Essence of Simchat Torah: Unlike other festivals tied to specific mitzvot, Simchat Torah's commandment is simply to rejoice. We dance with closed Torah scrolls because joy transcends knowledge, it's about belonging, not perfection.Eternal Jewish Joy: The attack that began on Simchat Torah was meant to steal Jewish joy, yet this very year, that joy is reclaimed. Jewish joy is not circumstantial; it's the pulse of our people.The Treasure Within: Like Isaac discovering the treasure under his own oven, we rediscover that the greatest strength and hope lie not in distant places, but within ourselves and our faith.A Call to Dance: Rabbi Bernath invites everyone, regardless of belief or pain, to dance with Heaven itself. This Simchat Torah, every step is a declaration: Am Yisrael Chai.#hostages #Judaism #Jewish #hostagesreturn #jewishunity #simchatorah #AmYisraelChai #Faith #resilience #Israel #IsraelHamas Sign up for "The Forgiveness Lab" HERE: theloverabbi.com/eventsSupport the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

Text and Be HeardSafety isn't soft—it's the engine of change. We take a fresh look at Step Two and flip the script: before debating beliefs or defining a higher power, build the conditions that let honesty and help actually land. When your nervous system feels safe, writing gets real, conversations stop performing, and progress stops stalling.We share a simple ethos—laugh daily, work hard at what matters, and lead with love—then ground it in practice. You'll hear how structure turns emotional chaos into a path you can follow, why stopping the noisiest addiction opens space for deeper healing, and how asking for help becomes a learned skill rather than a last resort. We walk through therapy pitfalls (like paying to hide), the relief of telling one whole truth to one safe person, and the role of sponsors, mentors, and community in keeping you honest when willpower gets thin.Spirituality finds its natural place once safety is established. Whether you grew up in church, left it, or never had language for faith, Step Two can be a humane bridge: admit you can't do it alone, invite support, and let curiosity—not pressure—guide what comes next. Along the way, we name common traumas that fuel compulsions, show how small daily practices create clarity, and point to a freer way to live: less hypervigilance, more peace, and 24 hours you can genuinely enjoy.If this resonates, share it with a friend who needs a safer start to recovery, subscribe for more grounded guidance, and leave a review to help others find the show.

They acted boldly, transforming their lives and altering history. Get ready to ignite your courage. Featured Quotes: “It takes boldness to work with God. It takes boldness to see the supernatural. It takes boldness to do exploits in this kingdom.” – Preacher “Do not celebrate the prophecy. What steps are you taking?” – Preacher “No work of God, no agenda of God can be accomplished with timidity.” – Preacher Behind the Story: This episode highlights the foundational role of boldness in a believer's walk. The speaker uses vivid examples from scripture, including David facing Goliath, Esther approaching the king, and the Israelites leaving Egypt.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 7, 2025 is: candor • KAN-der • noun Candor refers to the quality of being open, sincere, and honest. // During the interview, the comedian spoke with candor about the nervousness she feels every time she takes the stage. See the entry > Examples: “When Malika Andrews sat down to chat with ESSENCE, she was seated in her car. There was no rush in her voice, just an ease that showed how thoughtful and open she was to the experience. That balance of composure and candor is exactly what's made her one of the most respected names in sports journalism.” — Diona Ballard, Essence, 7 Aug. 2025 Did you know? The Latin verb candēre, meaning “to shine or glow,” has illuminated the English lexicon for centuries. It's given us familiar words such as candle, candid, and candidate, as well as less common terms like candela (a unit of luminous intensity) and candescent (“glowing or dazzling from or as if from great heat”). Candor, another candēre descendant, arrived in English in the 14th century. Its earliest uses referred to brightness or unstained purity and innocence; today, you're most likely to encounter candor as a word for unquestionably honest expression.

Text and Be HeardChange starts the moment someone you trust looks you in the eye and says, you can't keep living this way—and we choose to listen. We take Step One out of the narrow box of “just stop” and turn it into a practical, courageous shift toward honesty, structure, and community. That means pausing the behavior long enough to think clearly, building simple routines that keep you safe, and choosing mentors who guide you past willpower into real momentum.We unpack, why a 72-hour detox window creates space for truth, how to use an emotional warm-up before deep work, and why a scorecard turns vague intentions into visible progress. We talk about the roots of the 12 steps, how psychology has evolved, and how modern recovery must address trauma, family patterns, and the everyday inputs that quietly drive relapse. Alcohol, gambling, and drugs are obvious hazards, but so are the “normal” poisons—fast food, phone scrolling, and the ads that celebrate escapism. Curating your attention, your circle, and your habits becomes a daily act of self-respect.You'll hear a simple blueprint: stop lying, ask for help, write down what you want, and set a schedule that protects your energy. Bring in a recovery coach, a career mentor, a financial guide, and a spiritual advisor to widen your capacity. Use small wins—movement, sleep, clean meals, outreach, uplifting content—to rebuild trust with yourself. If you've wasted years in addiction and more time trying to do it alone, this is your moment to rewrite the pattern with clarity and support.If this resonates, subscribe, share with someone who needs it, and leave a review so others can find the show.

Angus Fletcher has a PhD in literature from Yale and teaches English at Ohio State. He's passionate about Shakespeare. He probably owns a tweed jacket. In other words, he's the last person you'd expect to receive the Army's fourth-highest civilian honor. But when he's not parsing King Lear or dissecting Hamlet, Angus is pioneering research into narrative cognition — our ability to think in stories — and how it can make us smarter. When the Army put his theories to the test, his methods reshaped how soldiers learn to think clearly under pressure and act decisively in volatile environments. Now, he has distilled this work into a new book called Primal Intelligence. Malcolm Gladwell says it's confirmation that Angus "has never had an uninteresting thought." We think you'll agree. — — — (04:21) What is Primal Intelligence? (8:24) Computers Think in Probabilities. Humans Think in Possibilities.

In this class, I'm talking about the essence of editing and why it matters for success. Editing isn't just about books or writing, it's about cutting out what doesn't fit so only the best remains.  I'll share how I use editing in my own writing process and how you can apply the same idea to your mindset, your habits, and even your relationships. Success is not about adding more, it's about knowing what to cut. Show Notes:  [04:37]#1 When you edit, you are creating clarity and addition by deletion. [10:46]#2 You get to do more effectively by needing and using less.  [17:36]#3 The point of doing or saying anything is to achieve the desired outcome.  [22:04]Recap Next Steps ---

Correction....I mentioned Ebony magazine but it was Essence subscriptions I was talking about. Also, I tell a story about going to the studio to record in my 20s with a co worker's husband. They started a snall label and wanted me to sign....I mentioned how he had all these businesses and ideas, his raggedy cars (and appearance) and limo's. This man was a serious dreamer and hustler. What I didn't mention was years later he got the nice house, C class Benz, and F150 truck. He also had a painting and construction business. The man kept working towards his dreams and achieved many of them. Not his dream for me though

Devotion is not discipline, loyalty, passion, or even commitment. It's an orientation of being that is irrevocable and unconditional—chosen from love, not forced by fear. In this solo episode, Andrew dismantles the common counterfeits of devotion, explains why self-devotion must come first, and shows how two people who choose true devotion create a container where love deepens, desire grows, and evolution is permissioned—not policed. What you'll learn • Devotion defined: Not what you do, but who you are while you do it. Identity, not strategy. • Irrevocability matters: Real devotion has no escape hatch. It doesn't depend on moods, convenience, or someone else's performance. • Devotion vs. discipline: One is love-fueled, fluid, and energy-giving; the other is fear-driven, rigid, and resentful. • Self-devotion first: Without it, you'll self-abandon, people-please, or demand others fill your void. • Devotion in relationship: Mutual, freely chosen surrender that creates safety to evolve, explore, and keep passion alive long term. • Counterfeits to watch for: Duty, loyalty, white-knuckled commitment, and performative spirituality masquerading as depth. • The reward: A container strong enough to carry greatness—in love, sex, health, craft, leadership, and spirituality. Key ideas & segments • Why the word “devotion” is abused online: Advice without embodiment cheapens the concept. • Essence over effort: A monk doesn't “do” devotion a few hours a day—he becomes it. • Freedom through permanence: Choosing an irrevocable path removes the exhausting “should I stay or go?” middle ground. • Permission to evolve: True devotion loves who your partner is, not what they do, which creates space for growth and exploration. • How fear sneaks in: When commitment is a survival strategy, you'll get stability without aliveness—and a ton of resentment. • Practical contrast (health example): Fear-based control drains; love-based devotion sustains. • Dominance & submission nuance: Disciplined pleasing creates collapse and resentment; devoted surrender lights both people up. Memorable lines • “Devotion isn't about gripping to commitment. It's who you are while you live, work, parent, and make love.” • “If you're devoted ‘for a year,' you're still in new-relationship energy. That's not devotion.” • “Discipline says, ‘I have to.' Devotion says, ‘I choose to. I'm grateful to.'” • “There are experiences you don't even get to start having until you've decided there's no backdoor.” • “My devotion is to her, not to what she does. That's why she has permission to evolve.” • “Counterfeit devotion is revocable and fear-based. Real devotion is irrevocable and love-fueled.” Who this is for • Men and women who are tired of performative love and want the real thing. • Couples who crave growing closeness and hotter sex years in, not just at the start. • Anyone ready to trade white-knuckled control for love-fueled liberation.

In this conversation with Matti Banon, we discuss the Chassidic perspective on gentle growth, what it looks like to live our lives with agency while remaining humble enough to recognize our recurring flaws, the balance between intellect and emotion, the transformative power of compassion and curiosity, and the parenting truths that can guide us in becoming more whole ourselves.

Dr William Walsh, founder of the Walsh Research Institute, joins the program to share groundbreaking findings on Bipolar Disorder. His latest research not only identifies the source of the disease but also offers solutions for people to overcome it.  We also dive into his fascinating career: working on top-secret government programs including the hydrogen bomb, his time spent with hardened criminals, and his surprising role as the original patent holder of the lithium battery — which, because he worked for the government, earned him just a $50 check and a thank-you letter.You can preorder his new book, The Essence of Bipolar Disorder, at walshinstitute.org

We've all had bad bosses.We might have even been one. At the very least, we've probably let people down who counted on us.We all carry burdens from our past that show up in how we lead. And we're all confronting systems that foster toxic workplace cultures where overwork and blurred boundaries are the norm, spaces that don't feel safe or generative, and where there is little to no accountability.The question we face is simple, but urgent: How do we want to lead?Our leadership can reinforce toxic systems and norms. Or we can learn to recognize our own burdens and do the work to become more aware, adaptable, and flexible. We can create spaces where people feel seen, heard, and valued, even when systems feel unstable or unfair.Because leading is about deciding, in every moment, whether we respond from our burdens or from our values. And my guest today helps us reflect on those choices and decide how we want to lead through her own lived experiences with bad bosses. Mita Mallick is a Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author who is on a mission to fix what's broken in our workplaces.
