Send a textAfter more than 300 episodes of conversations with engineers, founders, and technical leaders, certain patterns start to emerge. In this special retrospective episode of Being An Engineer, Aaron Moncur and Brad Hirayama flip the mic around to distill the biggest lessons learned from six years of interviews. Instead of focusing on any single quote or guest, they zoom out and identify the recurring themes that consistently show up in the careers of high-performing engineers. Surprisingly, none of the top takeaways are about mastering CAD tools or memorizing GD&T standards. They explore why understanding the business—not just the engineering—can dramatically accelerate your career. They unpack why soft skills and communication are non-negotiable if you want to move beyond being “just” a technical contributor. They discuss the transformational impact of mentors and coaches, and how simple habits like lunch conversations and honest feedback can change your trajectory. Aaron and Brad also dive into what it really means to “do more than you're paid for”—not by working longer hours, but by focusing on high-impact contributions that move the business forward. And they explain why establishing repeatable processes, checklists, and systems is one of the most overlooked drivers of engineering success. Finally, they introduce a new three-part mini-series on accelerating the speed of engineering, previewing practical tactics like hacking prototypes from off-the-shelf products and building psychological safety so teams surface problems early. If you want to grow faster, lead better, and think beyond the technical, this episode delivers a clear blueprint drawn from hundreds of real-world engineering stories. LINKS:https://www.linkedin.com/in/pipelinedesign/https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradhirayama/https://pipelinemedialab.beehiiv.com/https://teampipeline.us/Download the Essential Guide to Designing Test Fixtures: https://pipelinemedialab.beehiiv.com/test-fixture Subscribe to the show to get notified so you don't miss new episodes every Friday.The Being An Engineer podcast is brought to you by Pipeline Design & Engineering.

In this episode of The Kriya Yoga Podcast, Ryan Kurczak sits down with Bryan Crigler for a grounded, wide-ranging conversation on what it actually looks like to build a mature Kriya Yoga practice over time. Bryan shares his winding spiritual path—from early curiosity, martial arts, pranayama, and psychedelic exploration, to discovering Kriya Yoga as a steady, embodied way of realization. Together, Ryan and Bryan explore how disciplined daily practice evolves into something natural and enjoyable, and how surrender, curiosity, and consistency shape long-term progress. Topics discussed in this episode include: Developing pranic sensitivity and body awareness through breath and attention The role of imagination in working skillfully with pranayama and subtle awareness Navigating plateaus, distractions, and shifting expectations in meditation The difference between peak experiences and stable inner development Psychedelics and spirituality, and why steady practice offers deeper integration How meditation naturally reshapes lifestyle choices, relationships, and habits Working with surrender vs. effort in advanced stages of practice The practical value of the yamas and niyamas beyond moral rules Creating less outer drama to support deeper inner stillness Throughout the conversation, Bryan reflects on how sustained practice gradually raises the baseline of awareness, allowing meditation to remain accessible even on difficult days. Ryan adds context from lineage teachings, emphasizing patience, embodiment, and fidelity to practice over chasing experiences. This episode is especially valuable for practitioners who are past the beginner phase and are learning how Kriya Yoga integrates into daily life, relationships, and long-term spiritual maturity.

In this episode of the Kriya Yoga Podcast, Ryan Kurczak responds to a thoughtful question many sincere practitioners ask. What happens when we enter the Kriya path through clarity, discrimination, and philosophical coherence—yet feel hesitant around devotion? When Sāṃkhya's precision builds trust in the process, the Bhagavad Gita offers a first glimpse of theistic meaning, and Krishna appears as a guide rather than a belief—how do we understand devotion without forcing symbolism or sentiment? Ryan explores how devotion unfolds organically on the Kriya Yoga path, especially for those whose orientation begins with insight rather than bhakti. He speaks to the natural maturation of devotion as practice deepens, the subtle shift from conceptual understanding to experienced inner relationship, and the role of patience, honesty, and inner readiness. This conversation gently addresses whether devotion should be cultivated intentionally through study and openness, or allowed to arise on its own through sustained practice—and how both approaches can harmonize within a yogic worldview. A grounded, clarifying episode of The Kriya Yoga Podcast. -

In this episode of The Kriya Yoga Podcast, Bryan Crigler sits down with Kriya Yoga Teacher Ryan Kurczak for a wide-ranging, candid conversation that blends practical technique, experience, and the deeper questions that naturally arise on a committed spiritual path. This episode unfolds as a thoughtful dialogue shaped by Bryan's real questions—many of them drawn directly from his own meditation practice and from conversations with fellow students. Together, Bryan and Ryan explore how Kriya Yoga actually shows up in daily life, especially once the practice begins to mature. They dive into nuanced territory, including: Working skillfully with Yoni (Jyothi) Mudra, subtle awareness, and internalization The role of imagination, emotion, and feeling as bridges to pranic sensitivity How to understand and relate to siddhis without distraction or ego inflation Cultivating and trusting intuition through truthfulness and embodiment Navigating dharma, social responsibility, and inner equanimity in a turbulent world Why spiritual practice often reshapes relationships—and how to meet that with clarity and compassion Letting go of alcohol and old social patterns while rebuilding healthy community and sangha Applying yogic principles to the most challenging arena of all: intimate relationships Throughout the conversation, Ryan offers grounded perspective drawn from decades of practice, teaching, and personal transformation, while Bryan brings the voice of a sincere, questioning practitioner who isn't afraid to ask what many are quietly wondering. This episode is especially valuable for students who are moving beyond the basics of technique and beginning to grapple with how Kriya Yoga changes perception, priorities, relationships, and identity itself. Honest, reflective, and deeply human, it's a conversation about what the path really looks like as it starts working. Learn more about Bryan Crigler: https://www.kriyayogamidwest.com/ -

Send us a textScott Roberts is the North American Regional Sales Manager for Bodycote's S³P technologies, where he oversees the sales team and rep network responsible for bringing one of the most unique surface hardening processes to manufacturers across the country. The S³P family of treatments—including Kolsterising—uses low-temperature carbon diffusion to create exceptionally hard, wear-resistant surfaces while preserving the corrosion resistance that stainless steels and cobalt-chromium alloys are valued for.Scott didn't begin his career in materials science or engineering, yet he has built deep expertise in helping engineers and manufacturers solve hard problems related to wear, galling, friction, and component longevity. Through roles ranging from business development to market management, he has spent nearly 10 years guiding customers through when and why processes like Kolsterising offer a major performance advantage—and how they differ from more traditional hardening methods that can cause distortion, cracking, or loss of corrosion resistance.Before joining Bodycote, Scott worked in metals sales for aerospace customers such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and GKN, giving him early insight into how demanding applications push material limits. He has since combined that application-level understanding with extensive real-world customer consulting, helping companies in medical devices, industrial equipment, energy, and beyond adopt surface-engineering solutions that extend component life and reduce failure rates.Today Scott is a key voice in the growing conversation around advanced diffusion-based hardening technologies. His passion is teaching engineers what these processes can (and cannot) do, clarifying common misconceptions, and helping teams make smarter decisions about material selection and treatment—especially when performance requirements are mission-critical.LINKS: Guest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-roberts-574aa94/Guest website: https://www.bodycote.com/  Aaron Moncur, host Download the Essential Guide to Designing Test Fixtures: https://pipelinemedialab.beehiiv.com/test-fixture Subscribe to the show to get notified so you don't miss new episodes every Friday.The Being An Engineer podcast is brought to you by Pipeline Design & Engineering.

In this opening Kriya Yoga Online Sunday Service of the year, we explore a question that sits at the heart of the spiritual path: What part of us doesn't feel pain? While pain is an unavoidable part of human life—experienced through the body, emotions, relationships, and changing circumstances—yogic wisdom points to something within us that remains untouched by suffering. This episode reflects on that deeper dimension of our being: the seer, the witness, the Self. Drawing from the teachings of Kriya Yoga, this talk examines why most people come to spiritual practice through difficulty, dissatisfaction, or a sense of lack—and how meditation, when practiced with the right intention, leads not just to relaxation, but to direct recognition of our essential nature. We explore: The difference between meditation as relaxation and meditation as realization Why zoning out or calming the mind is not the same as knowing the Self How repeated glimpses of the witness gradually transform the way we experience life Why suffering doesn't disappear on the spiritual path, but loses its grip How challenges, loss, and change become teachers rather than obstacles This episode also reflects honestly on the nature of the human world—aging, loss, impermanence, and uncertainty—and why spiritual maturity begins with understanding life as it actually is, not as we wish it to be. Rather than encouraging escape from the world, this talk invites a deeper presence within it. When awareness shifts from what changes to what is changeless, we discover a center of clarity, peace, and wisdom that supports us through every phase of life. Whether you are new to meditation or have been practicing for many years, this episode offers a grounded reminder: the part of you that doesn't feel pain is not something to be created—it is something to be recognized. -

Overturning Roe unleashed a wave of urgent threats to abortion and bodily autonomy, fueled by overt white supremacy, racial and anti-immigrant hatred, and support for traditional gender roles and sexual identities.

In this episode of the Kriya Yoga Podcast, we explore how Internal Family Systems (IFS) can support deeper meditation, psychological integration, and an authentic experience of divine communion. Drawing from yogic philosophy, contemplative practice, and modern therapeutic insight, this talk examines why sincere meditation and devotion sometimes feel blocked—even after years of practice. The core insight: spiritual realization flourishes most naturally when the inner world is coherent, stable, and Self-led. Internal Family Systems offers a practical framework for understanding the “parts” of the psyche—protective managers, reactive firefighters, and wounded exiles—and how unresolved inner conflict can quietly interfere with meditation, prayer, and daily spiritual life. When these parts are listened to, integrated, and guided by the Self, inner noise settles and spiritual practice becomes more effortless, spacious, and alive. The episode connects IFS with key yogic principles such as Īśvara Praṇidhāna (communion or surrender to the Divine), samādhi, and Self-realization, suggesting that psychological healing is not a detour from the spiritual path, but often a powerful accelerator of it. This conversation is especially relevant for long-time meditators who feel stalled, seekers struggling to sustain inner peace beyond the cushion, or anyone interested in bridging therapy, yoga, and contemplative spirituality in a grounded, discerning way.

What if your "healthy" water intake is still quietly hurting your performance? In this solo episode, Dr. Mike breaks down hydration from a performance-first perspective — how dehydration affects cognition and physical output, why "8 glasses a day" is an oversimplified myth, and how to personalize your intake based on body size, activity level, diet, environment, and medications. He walks through practical guidelines (including 30–35 ml/kg/day), how to use urine + thirst cues without overcomplicating it, and why timing matters (especially around workouts, sauna use, and sleep). A major focus of this episode is electrolytes — what they do, how sweat changes your needs, and why sodium is often the key limiter for athletes, sauna users, and people eating low-carb/keto. Dr. Mike also covers potassium and magnesium, caffeine and hydration, the risks of overhydration, and the classic warning signs of hyponatremia. This is a comprehensive, no-BS guide to staying hydrated, replenishing electrolytes correctly, and improving energy, performance, and sleep.    Resources: Electrolyte & Hydration Products LMNT Official Home Page: https://drinklmnt.com/ LMNT Recharge Electrolyte Drink Mix: https://drinklmnt.com/products/lmnt-recharge-electrolyte-drink LMNT Variety Pack: https://drinklmnt.com/products/lmnt-recharge-variety-pack DIY Homemade Electrolyte Drink (LMNT Science): https://science.drinklmnt.com/electrolytes/best-homemade-electrolyte-drink-for-dehydration Gatorade Electrolyte Powder for Hydration (Official): https://www.gatorade.com/powders   Medical / Health Conditions & Guidance Hyponatremia — Symptoms & Causes (Mayo Clinic): https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hyponatremia/symptoms-causes/syc-20373711 Hyponatremia — Diagnosis & Treatment (Mayo Clinic): https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hyponatremia/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20373715   Lab Tests Magnesium, RBC (Labcorp): https://www.labcorp.com/tests/080283/magnesium-rbc   Mineral / Supplement References Magnesium — Fact Sheet for Health Professionals (NIH ODS): https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Magnesium-HealthProfessional/ Potassium — Fact Sheet for Health Professionals (NIH ODS): https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Potassium-HealthProfessional/ Dietary Supplements for Exercise and Athletic Performance — Fact Sheet for Health Professionals (NIH ODS): https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/ExerciseAndAthleticPerformance-HealthProfessional/   People / Sources Mentioned Robb Wolf (LMNT Science author page): https://science.drinklmnt.com/authors/robb-wolf Robb Wolf (official site): https://robbwolf.com/ Huberman Lab (official site): https://www.hubermanlab.com       Show Notes 00:00 Welcome Back to the Hart2Heart Podcast! 00:55 The Importance of Hydration 01:46 Daily Water Intake Guidelines 04:16 Sweat and Electrolyte Loss 06:56 Sodium: The Key Electrolyte 12:22 Potassium: Essential for Muscle and Heart Health 15:20 Magnesium: The Multi-Functional Mineral 20:08 Other Important Nutrients 22:33 Hydration Strategies and Special Populations 26:37 Final Tips and Conclusion   The Hart2Heart podcast is hosted by family physician Dr. Michael Hart, who is dedicated to cutting through the noise and uncovering the most effective strategies for optimizing health, longevity, and peak performance.

Eating healthier shouldn't feel confusing, overwhelming, or impossible to sustain—and if it ever has, you're not the problem. In this 30-minute REAL30™ webinar, Rip Esselstyn and Laurie Kortowich introduce a simple, science-backed framework designed to help you eat more real, whole plants and stay consistent without turning your life upside down.The REAL30 is built on three approachable pillars:30 days of simple daily action (progress over perfection)30 minutes of movement per day (any movement counts)30 different plants per week (we count plants, not calories)You'll learn why plant diversity matters—especially for gut health, energy, metabolism, inflammation, and immune function—and how the “30 plants per week” concept is rooted in research from the American Gut Project. The conversation breaks down what real food actually means, why ultra-processed foods make consistency harder, and how whole plants work with your body's natural systems (including appetite regulation and gut health).Rip shares powerful real-world stories from the firehouse and lessons learned from his father, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, while Laurie brings in insights from the PLANTSTRONG community—showing how quickly people begin to feel better when they focus on adding more of the good stuff instead of restricting.You'll also walk away with:Simple “bowl-building” meal patterns that work for busy livesPractical examples of how to hit 30+ plants in a day without stressTools to make consistency easier, including free trackers, a plant checklist, and optional meal-planning supportThis isn't a diet, a cleanse, or a rigid set of rules. It's a return to real food—built on abundance, simplicity, and momentum.

Emily Kircher-Morris chats today with Diane Dempster and Elaine Taylor-Klaus from Impact Parents, hosts of the Parenting with Impact podcast. They talk about the challenge of motivating neurodivergent kids, and break down why it's so challenging. The chat includes a framework called PINCH, a way to remember and think about important elements of motivation. You'll come away with practical strategies for parents to foster a supportive environment that encourages engagement, and ways to move away from fear and stress as motivators. TAKEAWAYS Traditional parenting advice often doesn't apply to neurodivergent kids. Motivation can be misunderstood; it's not always lack of interest. Executive functioning skills play a crucial role in motivation. Dopamine is essential for engaging in non-preferred tasks. Waiting until the last minute can be a legitimate strategy for motivation. Fear-based parenting creates stress and is not sustainable. Intrinsic motivation develops later in life, especially for neurodivergent individuals. The PINCH framework helps identify different motivators for kids. Novelty keeps the brain engaged and interested. Competition can motivate but may also cause anxiety in some children. Collaboration and connection with peers can enhance motivation. Parents should experiment with different motivational strategies. Transparency and vulnerability in parenting can build trust. If you'd like members of your organization, school district, or company to know more about the subjects discussed on our podcast, Emily Kircher-Morris provides keynote addresses, workshops, and training sessions worldwide, in-person or virtually. You can choose from a list of established presentations, or work with Emily to develop a custom talk to fit your unique situation. To learn more, visit our website. Elaine Taylor-Klaus and Diane Dempster co-founded ImpactParents.com in 2011 because traditional parenting advice wasn't working for their complex kids and they found no training or coaching available designed specifically to support them as parents of complex kids. Internationally recognized as leading parent educators, they use a coach-approach to help parents reduce the stress of raising children, teens, and young adults with ADHD, Anxiety, Autism, LD and more. They're the creators of Sanity School® behavior training, and the authors of many books including Parenting ADHD Now: Easy Intervention Strategies to Empower Kids with ADHD and The Essential Guide to Raising Complex Kids with ADHD, Anxiety and More.

In this episode of the Kriya Yoga Podcast, Ryan Kurczak explores the essence of yoga as the practice of Samadhi—a theme that will guide all classes, retreats, and offerings throughout 2026 as we celebrate a “Year of Samadhi.” Ryan shares upcoming opportunities for study and practice, including a monthly Patreon series on the preparatory processes in the Yoga Sutras, a six-week Samadhi Yoga Book Study Group, and a June Solstice retreat at the Himalayan Institute. Drawing from Vyāsa's powerful statement that “Yoga is Samadhi,” Ryan walks listeners through the foundational principles that make Samadhi both the heart of yoga and an attainable experience for sincere practitioners. He highlights the importance of daily meditation, present-moment awareness, sattvic living, and Patanjali's contemplations in Sutras 1.33–1.39 as essential tools for cultivating a serene, one-pointed mind. This episode offers inspiration, structure, and clarity for anyone committed to developing a direct, meaningful experience of Samadhi. -

Send us a textIn this special format-breaking episode of the Being An Engineer podcast, Aaron and Brad sit down together—no guest, no script—to talk through an issue almost every engineer has bumped into at some point: the slow erosion of professional communication.The conversation starts with a LinkedIn post Brad wrote after experiencing repeated ghosting during his job search—even after multi-hour onsite interviews and commitments from hiring managers. That sparks a broader discussion about the shifting expectations around communication in today's workforce, how different generations approach feedback and follow-through, and what's driving the breakdown of mutual respect between candidates, companies, vendors, and customers.Aaron shares stories from his 16 years running Pipeline Design & Engineering, including how silence from prospective clients affects small engineering firms and why reciprocity is essential for trust in any business relationship. The two also talk openly about dealing with ambiguity, stress, and the pressure for instant answers in a world where patience is becoming rare.This episode explores:·         Why ghosting is becoming normalized—and why it shouldn't be·         How feedback and clarity can drastically change hiring experiences·         The role of generational differences in communication styles·         How ambiguity affects engineers and leaders at every level·         Practical frameworks for reducing stress and strengthening trust·         Why “say what you're going to do, then do it” still matters·         A challenge to listeners to help rebuild professional respect, one small action at a timeAaron and Brad wrap up with a call to action: if you're ever in a position to choose—whether selecting candidates, vendors, or partners—take the minute to close the loop.

In this episode of The Kriya Yoga Podcast we talked about Merchant to Mystic, Isha Das' powerful re-telling of the life of Francis of Assisi—not as a distant saint, but as a true hero whose journey mirrors our own. We explored how this young, privileged pleasure-seeker from medieval Assisi transformed into one of history's most beloved spiritual figures, and how failure, mission, community, meditation, lifestyle change, and surrender shaped his inner evolution. We also reflected on the pivotal role of Clare of Assisi, the way Francis embodied Christ Consciousness, and how his death reflected the purity of the life he lived. What makes Isha Das' perspective so compelling is the depth of love and lived experience behind it—his forty years as a psychotherapist and mystical teacher illuminate Francis' story in a way that feels immediate, human, and deeply relevant for modern seekers.
