In this episode, John Bradford, CEO of Pet Screening, ranked No. 879 on the Inc. 5000 in 2025. Joins Gene Hammett to talk about what it really takes to build a "category of one" business. Bradford shares how visionary leadership and relentless execution go hand in hand, why founders must be honest about the size of their total addressable market, and how underestimating demand can limit growth. He draws on Pet Screening's success in helping landlords manage pet policy compliance amid America's growing pet population, while also unpacking the importance of strong core values, genuine team engagement, and empowering individuals to contribute to sales in a collaborative culture. Along the way, Bradford reflects on learning from mistakes, taking full responsibility as a leader, and using real market feedback to sharpen strategy, offering practical, experience-driven insights for entrepreneurs focused on long-term growth and leadership. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 3:01 The Birth of Pet Screening 6:18 Creating a Category of One 8:10 Common Mistakes in Creating a Category 10:49 The Essence of Relentless Execution 12:27 Core Values That Drive Success 14:36 Living Your Values in Practice 16:27 Lessons from Leadership Mistakes 19:18 Conclusion and Call to Action Building a Category of One Starts with the Market John Bradford, CEO of Pet Screening, joins Gene Hammett to discuss what it takes to build a true category-of-one business, starting with the importance of market size. Bradford stresses that even the best ideas fall flat if they do not address a meaningful total addressable market (TAM). He cautions entrepreneurs against underestimating market potential, noting that ideas aimed at small audiences often remain side projects rather than scalable companies. A strong vision must be matched with a market large enough to support long-term growth. Solving a Real Problem at Scale Bradford explains how Pet Screening emerged from his background in property management and technology, identifying a widespread problem landlords face in managing pet policies. With roughly 160 million pets in America and a growing number of pet-owning households, the demand is substantial. Pet Screening's software helps landlords ensure pet policy compliance while reducing fraudulent emotional support animal claims, positioning the platform as a trusted, nationwide solution in the housing industry. Visionary Leadership, Core Values, and Execution The conversation turns to leadership, where Bradford shares how strong core values and daily execution shape company culture. He emphasizes that values must be lived, not just stated, and highlights Pet Screening's focus on equal opportunity, making an impact, and keeping work enjoyable. Bradford also underscores relentless execution, encouraging every team member to understand and support the product, including participating in sales. This shared ownership drives efficiency, creativity, and alignment across the organization. Learning from Mistakes and Listening to the Market Bradford openly discusses the role of mistakes in entrepreneurship, advocating for accountability at the leadership level rather than blame within the team. This approach builds trust and encourages innovation. He also highlights the importance of market feedback, urging founders to seek honest input beyond friends and family to refine ideas and validate demand. The episode concludes with practical insights on how visionary leadership, execution, feedback, and ownership intersect to drive sustainable growth, reinforcing that leadership and scaling are inseparable. Key Takeaways Vision alone is not enough successful category-of-one companies pair bold leadership with disciplined execution. Market size matters; even strong ideas struggle without a sufficiently large total addressable market (TAM). Solving a real, widespread problem creates momentum and positions a business for scalable growth. Core values must be demonstrated through daily actions to foster trust, engagement, and accountability. Involving the entire team in understanding and supporting sales strengthens alignment and execution. Effective leaders own mistakes, creating a culture where learning and innovation thrive. Market feedback is a strategic asset and should come from diverse, unbiased sources. Long-term growth is driven by the integration of leadership, culture, and continuous refinement of strategy.

Contact Welcomed HereWhen we are accountable things add up so we feel like we count. Absolute Reality has no reservations or exceptions. We can think IT does and feel isolated and alone while nursing baseless thoughts.  We do not need to understand any story we make-up to recognize the disturbing effects caused by sick thinking. The idea that facing Reality is complicated is not true. Trying to avoid it for any length of time is infinitely more complicated than facing it honestly. We Know We Know and are also readily and obviously aware even while and when we think and this say we aren't. We are free to choose to think whatever and however we think so when we create a sense of condemnation and doom it is the sum of how and what we are thinking about things that is felt. Practicing this is talking about how and what you think openly and honestly as thought.  Taking seriously the idea that thoughts are reality turns the idea of expressing what we are thinking openly into a seeming external threat - that does not feel funny no matter how silly the premise. Honesty does not require we be right. Honesty includes talking openly about whatever we are thinking about right or wrong.  To chronically think thoughts are right and never apply them is like sitting in the couch all day wondering how to be productive.  Thinking we ever keep these ideas to our seeming self becomes another secret we think we can keep even while we secrete blood, sweat and anxious, pitiful tears. Self-pity reflects the pitiful useless self we think is all we are. Usefulness is determined by how well we read our body language. Our functional literacy determines the degree to which we utilize our full functional capacity.  If our limited thoughts are imagine to be Reality the potential to rehabilitated and redeem any useless thinking will, by choice, be limited as evidence our wrong thoughts are right. We can create a mess and then blame the mess for the scarcity of our situation.  This only makes sense in induced insanity. To impose doubt where there is none is something we are free to do - but it doesn't make any sense beyond the limited ideas we make believe are our own seeming reality and truth.  The basis of Existence is Absolute and thus so is Nature. The nature of Nature is our nature; no exceptions, no other options, no doubts since there is no question. All the questionable doubts we encounters are not mysteries of the universe but a mystery as to why we don't bother to simply mention them.  We Know We Know. We Are Aware We Are Aware. We Are as We Are. Reality is unlimited and never changes. The idea that how and what we think creates reality suggests otherwise. Acting on backward thoughts leads to behaviors that are out of order reflecting a reversal of our natural fortune that are accurately called disorders. Anxious, nervous and systemic disorders reflect this impossible attempt to reverse Nature's Law and Order and our Universe's Essence. Dis-ease is the lack of ease created and maintained by such twisted mental acrobatics. Stress and Anxiety inhibit healing and compound and degrade health. Mentality is a bodily function. Mental disease is a physcial ailment. For as long as it is misdiagnosed - any cure or treatment will perpetuate its contagion. Principles affirm Our Indivisible nature. Sharing Principles confirms our natural indivisibility. Inspiration is natural while desperation, depression, degradation and acting oblivious to what is obvious is an unnatural choice to oppose reality which is impossible to accomplish though we are free to try. Ignoring what is happening, acting as though it shouldn't be or isn't happening, produces the unintelligible gibberish of ignorance - not reality.

Notes: Contract Law Exam Ready GuideUnderstanding Contract Law: Performance, Breach, and ExcuseThis conversation delves into the complexities of contract law, focusing on performance, breach, and the various conditions that govern contractual obligations. It explores the tension between strict compliance and equitable considerations, the implications of anticipatory repudiation, and the legal frameworks that guide these issues under both common law and the UCC. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the nuances of contract performance and the potential consequences of breaches, while also highlighting the role of good faith in contractual relationships.In the world of contract law, the journey doesn't end with the formation of a contract. The real challenge begins with performance, where the rubber meets the road. This blog post delves into the critical aspects of contract law, focusing on performance, breach, and the excuses that can arise.The Essence of Performance: At the heart of every contract lies the duty to perform. This duty is not just a formality; it's a legal obligation that binds parties to fulfill their promises. The question often arises: how perfect does this performance need to be? Under common law, the standard is substantial performance, allowing for minor deviations as long as the essential purpose is met. However, the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) demands perfection, known as the perfect tender rule, where even a slight deviation can lead to rejection.Breach and Its Classifications: When performance falters, it leads to a breach. Breaches are classified based on their severity: minor, material, or total. A minor breach allows the contract to continue, with the non-breaching party entitled to damages. A material breach, however, is significant enough to suspend the non-breaching party's obligations, potentially leading to a total breach if not cured.Excuses and Defenses: Contract law also provides mechanisms to excuse performance under certain conditions. Impossibility, impracticability, and frustration of purpose are key defenses that can discharge duties when unforeseen events make performance unfeasible or pointless. Additionally, express conditions in contracts act as gatekeepers, determining when duties arise.Navigating the complexities of contract law requires a keen understanding of these principles. Whether you're a law student or a practicing attorney, mastering the nuances of performance, breach, and excuse is essential. Remember, the balance between strict rules and equitable outcomes is the cornerstone of high-level contract analysis.Subscribe now to stay updated on the latest insights in contract law.TakeawaysThis Deep Dive is for law students and bar candidates.Understanding conditions is crucial for determining performance obligations.Express conditions require strict compliance, while constructive conditions allow for substantial performance.Breach classification is essential: minor, material, or total.Anticipatory repudiation allows immediate claims for breach.Adequate assurances can clarify uncertain performance situations.Impossibility and frustration of purpose can excuse performance obligations.The implied covenant of good faith underpins all contracts.Discharge by subsequent agreement can end or change contracts.The perfect tender rule is a strict standard under the UCC. contract law, performance, breach, anticipatory repudiation, conditions, good faith, UCC, common law, legal obligations, contract analysis

If God is everywhere, why can't God be in an image? If devotion dissolves the self before the Beloved, what remains to draw the line between Hindu and Muslim? And can we ever find an answer to suffering that satisfies both the heart and the mind? Drawing from his acclaimed book, "The Hindu Self and Its Muslim Neighbors," Dr Barua guides us through the shared devotional languages of Bhakti and Sufi traditions. He reveals how figures like Kabir, Tagore, Nazrul Islam, and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan inhabited spaces of “creative ambiguity” that transcended rigid boundaries. This episode explores Dr Barua's journey from physics to metaphysics, delving into the theology behind “idol worship” and the intersection of quantum mechanics and religious truth. It invites us to discover profound resonances and honest tensions between two great spiritual traditions. Dr Ankur Barua is a Senior Lecturer in Hindu Studies at the Faculty of Divinity, University of Cambridge. He researches the conceptual constellations and the social structures of the Hindu traditions, both in premodern contexts in South Asia and in colonial milieus where multiple ideas of Hindu identity were configured along transnational circuits between India, Britain, Europe, and USA. In recent years, his research focus has moved to an exploration of the intersections between the idioms of bhakti, yoga, tawḥīd, and taṣawwuf on the multiply-stratified postcolonial landscapes of South Asia.Audio Chapters: 0:00 – Highlights 1:23 – From Physics to Metaphysics 12:30 – Language of Science vs Language of Religion 19:10 – Are There Revelations in Hinduism?24:50 – On Infallibility of the Vedas 28:28 – Revelation in Hinduism and Abrahamic Traditions 33:16 – Between Monotheism and Idol Worship in Hinduism 45:07 – Idol Worship and Muslims 47:15 – Why Muslim Neighbours? 55:52 – Muslims as Foreigners 1:04:45 – Bhakti and Sufi Love 1:17:01 – Quantum Mechanics and Truth of Religion 1:23:10 – Religion and Meaning for Modern Individuals 1:28:46 – Thinking Islam QuestionMentioned in This Episode: "Images of the Unimaginable God" by Dr Ankur Barua: https://renovatio.zaytuna.edu/article/images-of-the-unimaginable-god "The Hindu Self and Its Muslim Neighbors" by Dr Ankur Barua: https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/hindu-self-and-its-muslim-neighbors-9781793642585/ "Form and Essence" by Shaykh Arif: https://www.shaykharif.com/blog/impurity?categoryId=24615

We had a lot of fun recording this episode because he's as intensely nerdy about salt as we are about birth and motherhood.We question how salt ended up cast as the villain and what that fear has quietly done inside us, especially when studies and headlines ignored context like water and overall diet. We open up the tension between the mineral-rich salt and spring water humans adapted to and the stripped, “dead” versions most people are leaning on today.

In this episode, Julia speaks with Varsha, a WE Explorer, about discovering that her Essence of motherness is a powerful anchor for how she leads. She was part of the Women Emerging expedition for women leading in India, in partnership with Buzz Women. Varsha shares how she had never thought intentionally about leading until she realised the models she had been exposed to didn't match who she was. Growing up in a matrilineal family, she saw a form of leading that was shared, facilitative, caring but also clear and confident. The Expedition helped her name this Essence and understand that motherness is not a limitation, it is leadership. She talks about Energy; how leaders generate it by checking in on teammates, reminding teams of purpose, celebrating small and big wins, and at times stepping in with her own raw Energy when everyone else is depleted. And she is honest about the boundaries needed to protect that Energy, including saying no and switching off. Varsha also speaks of India's many feminine archetypes- nurturing, fierce, strategic - and how dismissing motherness at work dismisses the very source of strength and Energy that she brings. Her leadership, she's learned, lingers in the people she supports, the belief she builds, and the care she normalises. This episode reminds us that when women lead from who they truly are, they sustain not just themselves, but everyone around them. About the Guest: Dr Varsha Pillai leads Gender Diversity and Advocacy for Women in Manufacturing at Tata Electronics, working to strengthen workplace cultures and progression pathways for women. With over two decades in communications, her passion for exploring how media shapes gender and social change led to a PhD in Gender Advocacy in Digital Media from Symbiosis International University. Recognised with fellowships in India, the Netherlands, and Geneva, and named a Changemaker by Change.org India, Varsha brings both lived insight and analytical rigour to advancing equality in organisations and beyond.

Fifty years into the era of mass incarceration, states like Arkansas, Montana, California, and Colorado are pushing to build new prisons and expand immigrant detention. In this episode of Rattling the Bars, host Mansa Musa talks with Nicole Porter of The Sentencing Project about how federal and state governments are doubling down on new prison construction and ICE contracts to expand the prison-industrial complex, what sets the US criminal justice system apart from other countries around the world, and how organizers are fighting for real prison population reductions instead of more cages.Guest:Nicole D. Porter, named a “New Civil Rights Leader” by Essence Magazine for her work to challenge mass incarceration, manages The Sentencing Project's state and local advocacy efforts on sentencing reform, voting rights, and confronting racial disparities in the criminal legal system. Since joining The Sentencing Project in 2009, Porter's advocacy and findings have supported criminal legal reforms in several states including Kentucky, Maryland Missouri, California, Texas and the District of Columbia. Porter's areas of expertise include research and grassroots support around challenging racial disparities, felony disenfranchisement, in addition to prison closures and prison reuse. Her research has been cited in several major media outlets including Salon and the Washington Post, and she has appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, and on National Public Radio and MSNBC.Additional links/info:The Sentencing Project website, Facebook page, and InstagramLisa Armstrong, Essence, “The new Civil Rights leaders”Credits:Producer / Videographer / Post-Production: Cameron GranadinoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

DJ Bully B Essence of Soul 100% Independent  05/12/25 Saturday Love Ep 1

Contact Welcomed HereEgo = I. When I am talking to myself there must be a person in second place I am talking to. And if I am trying to fix that self that is pretty good evidence I think of it as broken while real enough to fix. Imposter syndrome is not an accident.Ego as a false self is a narrative created to blame for thoughtless shameful choices. This semi-clever ruse of twisted language has been developed to have insanity appear sane, normal and moral. The fact that it has no basis or substance is of little consequence to the maker believing in it. Illusions as reality is induced insanity. All matter and things that matter have substance  - lies do not.  We have developed a story around all we are is who and what we think we are. If we think how and what we think is reality, then we think there is no other reality. To face an illusions as reality can have us think we can turn our back on Reality while Reality does not flinch. Thinking insanely about reality does not change Reality it dysfunctionally changes our mentality. The fact that we can think we have nothing to do with anything precedes the thought that we have no place, value or benefit to offer anyone. Lies foster lies so trying to fix a lie while lying is to continue to maintain baseless, worthless ideas about everything. We cannot be what we have so think we become liars makes the idea of not lying seem preposterous since it would involve killing the self we identify as our self. That which has no life cannot be killed - though while we think it is real, just like a nighmare, it feels real till we wake up. Thinking is not the problem. What and how we think, once we think it is reality and truth, becomes a highly suspect fight for a life that never existed.  Obsessvive thinking is an unnatural attempt to turn our thoughts into reality by using pain to claim the effort must be true.  If insanity were sane it wouldn't be hard to admit. Insane thoughts are easy to fix once we see they are something we are choosing rather than who, what and how we are. We Know We Know. We Are Aware We Are Aware. We Are as We Are. Reality is unlimited and never changes. The idea that how and what we think creates reality suggests otherwise. Acting on backward thoughts leads to behaviors that are out of order reflecting a reversal of our natural fortune that are accurately called disorders. Anxious, nervous and systemic disorders reflect this impossible attempt to reverse Nature's Law and Order and our Universe's Essence. Dis-ease is the lack of ease created and maintained by such twisted mental acrobatics. Stress and Anxiety inhibit healing and compound and degrade health. Mentality is a bodily function. Mental disease is a physcial ailment. For as long as it is misdiagnosed - any cure or treatment will perpetuate its contagion. Principles affirm Our Indivisible nature. Sharing Principles confirms our natural indivisibility. Inspiration is natural while desperation, depression, degradation and acting oblivious to what is obvious is an unnatural choice to oppose reality which is impossible to accomplish though we are free to try. Ignoring what is happening, acting as though it shouldn't be or isn't happening, produces the unintelligible gibberish of ignorance - not reality.

Text and Be HeardWhat if Step Nine isn't about delivering the perfect apology, but about finally hearing the truth you've been dodging? We take a fresh look at amends and uncover why listening, not speechmaking, is the hinge that turns shame into repair and distance into connection.We start by challenging the urge to control outcomes—no more scripting how others should respond or rushing toward instant forgiveness. Instead, we break down how to take responsibility without the “but you also” trap, and how to open space for the other person's experience. You'll hear real stories with a partner and parents that reveal a hard lesson: the deepest wounds are often the small, repeated breaks in presence—missed moments, phones at the table, emotional absence—rather than the dramatic blowups we obsess over. When we ask what hurt most and stay quiet long enough to truly listen, we finally learn what repair looks like to them.From there, we get practical. We walk through a simple framework for Step Nine conversations: set intention, acknowledge harm, invite their perspective, reflect back, and co-create specific repair. We talk about boundaries, restitution, and how technology supercharges secrecy, making transparency and daily structure even more important. And we connect the dots across the steps: moving from self to others in Seven and Eight, practicing empathy in Nine, and then carrying that growth forward through Ten, Eleven, and Twelve so peace, freedom, and serenity stop being slogans and start becoming daily realities.If you're ready to make amends that actually heal—rooted in humility, accountability, and genuine listening—this conversation is your map.

Are you attracting the wrong clients? Does your sales process feel harder than it should? Are you constantly trying to convince people to convert even though you know you're offering an incredible service?Here's what's actually happening: you're saying premium, but your pricing and packages don't feel premium. Or you're marketing luxury but delivering a mass market experience. This misalignment is creating massive friction in your business, and most entrepreneurs don't even realize it's happening.Today I'm breaking down the three brand tiers that exist in every industry: Mass Market, Premium, and Luxury. Understanding which category you're in (or want to be in) will completely change how you price, market, sell, and attract clients. I'm walking you through examples like Target versus Apple versus Chanel, McDonald's versus Starbucks versus a Michelin star restaurant, and breaking down what each tier means for your pricing strategy, marketing approach, and client experience. This isn't about one being better than the other. It's about knowing which brand you're building and making sure everything in your business actually aligns with that category.00:35 Introduction 03:21 Understanding Brand Categories and Their Impact13:18 Mass Market Brands: Characteristics and Strategies32:11 Premium Brands: Characteristics and Strategies37:52 Apple's Experience Revolution39:50 The Value of Premium Products42:00 Setting Prices as a Premium Brand43:50 Discounts and Bonuses Strategy44:57 Marketing to Premium Customers51:46 Understanding Luxury Brands54:25 The Essence of Selling LuxuryTo join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE.

主播：Meimei（中国）+ Maelle（法国） 音乐：I Know The Feeling by Jake Miller今天我们要谈的话题非常有趣，但同时又让人有点小震惊——巴黎世家（Balenciaga）推出了一款7000元的塑料袋。01. Balenciaga's 7000 RMB Plastic Bag 巴黎世家7000元塑料袋巴黎世家最近推出了（came out）一款价值7000元人民币的塑料袋（plastic bag）！许多网友觉得这是“谜之操作”，Internet truly got confused. 大家都在问：这是真的潮流？还是纯纯的“逗我玩儿”？��这价值7000元的塑料袋难道是有什么神奇功效吗？It's actually just high fashion (高定时装品牌).��今天我们就要带大家一起来看看这个“让人看不懂”的时尚单品，到底在卖什么？Balenciaga released (发行、出品) this new bag — shiny, crinkly, rectangular — just like a classic plastic shopping bag (经典塑料购物袋).Shiny /ˈʃaɪni/ adj. 亮闪闪的Crinkly /ˈkrɪŋkli/ adj. 皱巴巴的Rectangular /rekˈtæŋgjələr/ adj. 长方形的02. Normcore & Ironic Fashion 极简随意风与反讽时尚很多网友说“这是把贫穷元素复制到了富人的世界”。This kind of item is often called “normcore” or “ironic fashion”.��Normcore：Normcore就是“极简随意风”。Norm来自于单词normal，意指“很平常随意的感觉”。Core就是“内核”。有着极简随意的核心精髓也就是“normcore”，也就是说穿得像普通人一样反而很潮。It's definitely been a fashion trend (时尚潮流) lately, but on a more casual (随意的) side. 像宽松的T恤衫（boxy T-shirts）或者简单的牛仔裤（simple jeans）都是normcore的代表。��Ironic fashion：Ironic fashion是一种“反讽时尚”，看起来很土，但其实是故意的。They want to look like they don't care (不在乎), 但实际上吊牌标价（price tag）说明了一切。 That's ironic (讽刺的) for sure.03. A Collection of “Plastic Bag” in English “塑料袋”英文大集合��所以像这种“塑料购物袋”，用英文应该怎么表达呢？1）The most the common type is “plastic bag (塑料袋)” .2）第二种是“walmart bag（沃尔玛袋子）”。主播Meimei记得她在美国生活的时候，人们还会把塑料袋统称为walmart bags（沃尔玛袋子）。因为大家总是在价格亲民的大型超市沃尔玛购物，最后带回家一大堆塑料袋。有一次她的朋友让她递一个walmart bag，她找了半天，后来才知道所有超市的塑料袋都可以统称为walmart bag。It's just any plastic bag from a grocery store (杂货店).3）There is also “tote bag (帆布袋)” . 之前有一段时间，tote bag突然火起来了。路上的小姐姐几乎人手一个。4）除此之外，还有“reusable bag (可重复使用的环保袋)”。It's very eco-friendly (对环境非常友好).5）The last one is “shopper (用来形容时尚品牌的大型购物袋)” .��所以，像巴黎世家这种购物袋，应该叫designer shopper（设计师购物袋）吗？The answer is yes! 外国网友可能会称它为“a designer shopper（设计师购物袋）” 或者是“a luxury tote（奢侈托特包）”。这里还是有点反差，因为听起来好像很高级，其实外形却很接地气。04. Why Do People Buy the Pricy Plastic Bag? 人们为什么买天价塑料袋？��Since it just looks like a plastic bag，为什么还是会有人买单？因为很多时候奢侈品不一定是为了实用，fashion is about status (地位) and exclusivity (稀有性). 这也是展示identity（身份）的一种方式。And some people buy it for the meme (表情包)——“你以为我在装穷，其实我超有钱”。挎着一个比房租还贵的塑料袋，that is pretty absurd (荒谬的). It's “rich irony (浓浓的讽刺)”.Rich说出了这昂贵的讽刺感，同时也可以理解为这个讽刺的浓度很高。So rich！This is a great pun (一语双关).05. The Essence of Fashion 时尚的本质：表达与态度主播Meimei还曾看到过some other weird (奇怪的) fashion items on the market as well。��那除了“塑料袋”，还有哪些“看不懂”的奢侈单品呢？蒂芙尼（Tiffany & Co.）出品过一个价值2000美元的回形针（$2000 designer paperclip）。That's literally a luxury stationary (奢侈文具用品). 大家也没想到回形针都能变成高级珠宝。其实蒂芙尼最开始是销售精品文具的（They produced high-end stationary），后来它又转型做了珠宝。很多人知道这个品牌也是因为奥黛丽·赫本的经典电影Breakfast at Tiffany（蒂芙尼的早餐）。It's a very classic movie. 所以这个价值2000美元的回形针仿佛在替蒂芙尼证明：“Look, we're back in the stationery business, but this is who we are now." 我们再次做起了文具生意，但我们是以高定珠宝的身份回归的。这款回形针的核心功能（core function）不止实用（utility）, but symbolism（还是象征）。This actually reflects a lot of the brand's history and identity.所以，这2000美元买的不是回形针，而是“拥有一件Tiffany & Co.”的体验和身份认同。看来奢侈品界真的是很会制造话题了。In Europe and many other places, fashion is now being seen as as a form of expression (表达).在中国，也有越来越多年轻人开始“玩梗时尚”，比如DIY衣服，或者一些不太符合主流的设计。It's also a fashion statement (时尚宣言). It's art, and it does not always match everyone's taste. 大家现在看的，不只是款式，还有“态度”。Fashion is also becoming more about fun than formality (时尚也变得更加有趣，而不是拘泥于形式).

Ryōkan Taigu (1758–1831) was a quiet and unconventional Sōtō Zen Buddhist monk who lived much of his life as a hermit. Ryōkan is remembered for his poetry and calligraphy, which present the essence of Zen life. He renounced the world at an early age to train at nearby Sōtō Zen temple Kōshō-ji, refusing to meet with or accept charity from his family.These selected excerpts and poems by Ryokan have been taken from the text "Great Fool" translated by Ryuichi Abé & Peter Haskel.

Hey girl,In this episode, I sit down with the brilliant Jereshia Hawke for a powerful conversation about what it truly means to descale your life. Jereshia, a former engineer turned business coach, opens up about her journey from burnout and self-abandonment to rediscovering her body, pleasure, and peace. We talk about her year-long sabbatical, the childhood patterns that shaped her survival mode, and how somatic work, breathwork, body awareness, stillness, and inner-child healing helped her reconnect with herself more deeply. Ultimately, descaling your life is about coming home to yourself. Jereshia reminds us that peace has a price, boundaries, identity shifts, and sometimes loneliness, but choosing yourself is always worth it.BIO:Jereshia Hawk is a Strategic Advisor and Business Coach, known as the "Millionaire Maker" for her expertise in helping high-earning CEOs scale with intention and precision. She built a 7-figure net worth solely from business profits, creating a life of freedom without sacrificing what matters most.

Featured in Essence, Forbes, and Business Insider, Jereshia helps CEOs streamline operations, refine their focus, and build businesses that work for them, not the other way around.Whenever You Are ReadyHere are 3 ways I can help you:​Book A Call With Me - I've been getting A LOT of DM and email requests to chat with me and answer specific questions about love, dating, relationships, and men, so I'm opening back up my limited calendar for a few calls.
