Agency — the ability to make choices, act on them, and feel that those actions matter — is key to play and learning. In this episode, we dig into what agency really means for young children, tracing it through the work of foundational developmental theorists and grounding it in current research on how play, agency, and learning work together as a powerful, reinforcing system. Along the way, we name what's getting in the way — a cultural pattern I call pervasive passivity — and explore what it looks like when children lose access to the agency they need to thrive. If you work with young children or advocate for play-based learning, this episode will give you both the research and the practical language to protect what matters most — including a surprising look at what current AI advances reveal about what we actually want for our young children.

He is the co-founder of Honu Worldwide and Innovative Product Development, Sourcing and 3PL company based in Pennsylvania. Afolabi has always been a has always been passionate about finding things, haggling and negotiating prices. His obsession with finding good quality products at bargain prices led him to help several seven and eight figure brands increase their profits and scale rapidly by buying smart from Asia and the US. He is behind the successful launches of several multi-million dollar products on Amazon and other retail channels. An entrepreneur at heart, Afolabi owns and has sold a few seven figure private label brands. He loves helping people design, develop and manufacture innovative products. Welcome to the show.Afolabi 00:00:53  Thank you Josh. I'm happy to be here. I'm excited.Josh 00:00:56  You know, if you were to restart on Amazon, which I think that's what you're doing now, is you're creating some new brands and launching them on Amazon. What are some of those lessons, actionable takeaways that you can give to other sellers to say, hey, here are the challenges that we faced at different points in the business, that I'm going to make sure that we don't go through these same challenges again in the future.Josh 00:01:20  If you wouldn't mind breaking some of those lessons learned for us. Breaking it down.Afolabi 00:01:25  I'm going to, if I were to start all over again, I'm also going to weave some stories and past experiences into it. So when somebody goes into E-comm, you're starting your e-commerce or you're starting your Amazon business. Sometimes we forget the reason why we started in the first place. We forget the reason why we quit our jobs and we went into e-commerce. For me, my main driver was freedom. I wanted freedom, I wanted to be. I wanted to be able to control my time. I wanted to be able to be there for my family any day, any time. I wanted to be able to take off. If I want to take off, I want to take off, you know? Yeah. So you start this e-com business and you're married to it. You know, you're you're you're waking up 3 a.m. in the morning. You're, you know, you're sleeping late at night. So eventually it defeats the purpose of why you started in the first place.Afolabi 00:02:21  So we found ourselves caught up in all those things. You know, me and my business partner, we would fight each other. You know why? Why? You know why are we running out of stock? I'm like, I didn't know that product was going to run out of stock, you know? You know, we didn't have a good system in place and we didn't have the freedom or anything. So going back now, looking back to where we came from to now, there are three things I'm going to do differently this time. First, I'm going to innovate. Second, I'm going to automate. Third, I'm going to have a lot of free time to think. Because for me, I believe that thinking time is a very creative time. I believe that your rest time is very important. People ask me, you know, you know, jokingly, maybe I'm speaking to Norm, I mean, Norm. You know, there's my business partner on you. You know, he picks, you know, he picks up on me a lot.Afolabi 00:03:19  He's like, hey, I love you. What did you do this weekend? I'm like, no, I did nothing. I just sat on my couch and I was watching soccer all day. I was not doing nothing. You know, sometimes he calls me. I said, I'm going to stop disturbing me. I'm on the field with my son. We're playing soccer here. Please. You know. Yeah.Josh 00:03:41  So, yeah.Afolabi 00:03:42  Freedom. Time to spend time with your loved one is very important. So I'll make sure that this time I automate so that I can free up myself to do whatever I want whenever I wanted to do it. I don't want anything just pressuring me down all the time. Because when I'm thinking I'm creating things that are so valuable in my rest time. Yeah, I could be sitting on a lounge. I mean, on a on a on a recliner. And you, you know, you when you're relaxed, when your mind is at rest, you so many creative ideas come to you and you can look into your business and, and actually spot all the things you are doing wrong when you're in a relaxed mode, you know?Josh 00:04:26  Yeah.Josh 00:04:27  So you're you're kind of three takeaways then, right? If you were to restart would be to innovate, automate and then have more time for thinking and just downtime in general. Right. So...

"Freedom is not getting to do whatever you want. Freedom is getting to do what God wants you to do," said Pastor Rob McCoy, lead pastor of Calvary Chapel and former mayor of Thousand Oaks, California. In this interview, Pastor Allen Jackson and Pastor McCoy discuss the vital role the Church is called to play in our nation. Liberty can only be found in God, so we must guide our country's conscience in order to preserve our freedom. We may be told that Christians have no place in politics, but the opposite is true. By being an advocate for Jesus Christ, we can win hearts for His Kingdom and defeat the darkness of our culture.

In this episode, Hallie Bulkin addresses what she calls "one of the most misunderstood topics in our field" : tongue tie diagnosis. She challenges the common clinical practice of relying on visual assessment—hearing clinicians say, "it looks tied" or "it's a mild tie"—and emphatically states that function is what determines a diagnosis, not appearance.Hallie introduces a 4-step framework for making confident, clinically sound decisions : Function, Form, Impact, Decision. She emphasizes that the appearance-based mindset often leads to both over- and under-diagnosis of ties, and that true diagnosis requires observing the tongue's mobility, coordination, and control within the entire system.Hallie also stresses the importance of addressing compensatory movements, which she believes mask true movement and should not be taught as a form of "survival mode". For optimal outcomes, treatment must focus on function and consider the whole connected system—airway, jaw, spine, and nervous system.In this episode, you'll learn: ✔️Function is the key determinant of a tongue tie diagnosis, not the visual appearance of the tissue✔️ The risk of the "appearance-based mindset" leading to over- and under-diagnosis✔️ A four-step clinical reasoning framework for assessment: Function to Form to Impact to Decision✔️ Why a short or tight-looking frenulum may not restrict movement, while a hidden posterior tie can create major functional restriction✔️ Compensatory strategies often mask the need for a release and take more energy, leading to a "survival mode"✔️ Diagnosis requires a functional limitation PLUS a meaningful impact on the person's life (e.g., feeding, speech, sleep quality)✔️ Why functional readiness must be assessed to determine if and when the body is ready for a lingual release.✔️ The release is not a "magical instant fix"; therapy before and after is crucial for neuromuscular reeducation and success.✔️ Treatment must consider the whole connected system (airway, jaw, cervical spine, nervous system), not just the tongue in isolation.RELATED EPISODES YOU MIGHT LOVEEp 347: Airway First: The Pediatric Dentist's Essential Role in Treating Tongue Ties and Growth IssuesEP 348: Tongue Ties, Sleep Apnea & More: The Patient-Centered Approach to Airway DentistryOTHER WAYS TO CONNECT & LEARN

In this episode, Hallie Bulkin welcomes special guest Dr. Anita Gouri, a board-certified pediatric dentist, to dive deep into the critical, often-missed connection between pediatric dentistry and a child's overall airway health and development.Dr. Gouri shares her personal journey into airway and tissue-focused dentistry, motivated by her own daughter's and nephew's feeding and developmental challenges due to undiagnosed tongue ties. They emphasize the absolute necessity of a multidisciplinary approach, stressing that therapy (SLP, OT, IBCLC, etc.) is optimal before and after a tongue tie release for the best outcomes and to avoid reattachment or unresolved symptoms. The conversation extends to older children, discussing the importance of an airway evaluation before prescribing ADHD medications and the dramatic life-changing results of early palatal expansion to open the airway.In this episode, you'll learn:✔️ Dr. Gouri's personal experience discovering her daughter's tongue tie at age 7, long after dealing with feeding issues, colic, and difficulty eating non-pureed foods. ✔️ Why pre- and post-operative therapy (like with an SLP, OT, or IBCLC) is 100% crucial for optimal outcomes following a tongue tie release. ✔️ The importance of getting an airway evaluation before putting children on ADHD medication. ✔️ Key signs of pediatric airway issues during sleep, including mouth breathing , tossing/turning/restless sleep , and the often-missed red flag of hyperextension of the neck. ✔️ The dramatic benefits of early palatal expansion (as early as 3 or 4 years old) to open the airway, often resolving issues like chronic infections (like croup) and snoring , even if the child does not have a crossbite. ✔️ How simple strategies like sleep hygiene (removing dust mite harbingers like stuffed animals and blankets) and dietary changes (like kicking gluten) can reduce inflammation and improve breathing. ✔️ Why a "quick snip" of a tongue tie may not address the entire posterior tie, which can lead to later issues like speech problems.RELATED EPISODES YOU MIGHT LOVEEp 219: Rapid Palatal Expansion for Airway Clearance and Mia's Airway JourneyEp 333: Transforming airway health & smiles with MARPE featuring Dr. Svitlana Koval, DMD, MSc, BDSOTHER WAYS TO CONNECT & LEARN

In this episode of the Health and Wellness Coach Journal Podcast, Dr. Jessica Singh sits down with Clare Norman, Master Certified Coach and author of Cultivating Coachability. With over twenty years of experience in coaching and coach supervision, Clare is on a mission to encourage coaches to be more vocal about coachability, expecting more of coaching custodians and thinkers alike such that those thinkers are coaching-ready Together, Clare and Dr. Singh explore the often-overlooked but essential concept of coachability: what it is, how it differs from coaching readiness, and why it matters. Clare offers thoughtful distinctions that speak to the heart of what many coaches experience in practice: misalignment, unclear expectations, or clients who may not yet be ready for the work coaching entails. This conversation highlights how coaches must cultivate coachability to stay aligned with their ethics and scope of practice, regardless of their niche or practice setting. In this episode, Clare Norman also explores the often-overlooked role of the coaching custodian—those who hold responsibility for the structure, delivery, and integrity of coaching within organizations. In private practice, the coach often assumes this role themselves, making intentional coach screening and assessing whether coaching is appropriate particularly important. Clare offers thoughtful guidance on setting boundaries, screening for coachability, and reframing success in ways that support more ethical, sustainable coaching relationships. Her insights equip coaches to lead with greater clarity, care, and accountability—whether they're working independently or within a broader system. Whether you're a new coach navigating your first few clients or a seasoned practitioner, this episode sheds light on how to cultivate coachability for deeper, more sustainable impact.

In this episode, we chat with Tim Biggs, an experienced company adviser and part-time academic, focused on the mining industry. He is a director of Grainge Advisory Limited, which provides advisory and consultancy services to companies, investors, and other organisations, predominantly in the mining sector. We met recently at the UK mining conference in Cornwall, and Tim, who is a regular listener to the podcast, asked if he could come on to the show to discuss his recently released book…"Mining - Why It's Essential for a Sustainable Future". The book is available at bookstores, online through Waterstones, Amazon etc, using the search “Timothy Biggs” or “Mining”, and direct from the publisher using this link: https://www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?book_slug=9781509567492 KEY TAKEAWAYS Mining is essential for modern life, as nearly everything we use contains metals and minerals derived from mining.  There is a significant lack of understanding about mining among the general public, particularly among younger generations and students.  The mining industry has historically been poor at promoting its importance. The focus should shift from showcasing machinery to highlighting the essential role mining plays in everyday life and sustainability efforts. To ensure the future of the mining industry, it is crucial to attract young talent. This can be achieved by improving the industry's image, providing scholarships, and engaging educators to promote mining BEST MOMENTS "Everything uses the products of mining, metals and minerals. The only things that don't have metals and minerals in them are things that are grown, like our food." "If you don't appreciate how important mining is, then you clearly need to understand what we use all of the products of mining for." "The industry has not really felt that it's necessary to do much about its image... No image turns into poor image when something goes wrong." "As we move towards a more sustainable world, you're going to need more mining, not less."

The Future of Insurance: How Flow is Revolutionizing the Industry with AIIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge sat down with Sivan Iram, Co-Founder and CEO of Flow Specialty, a pioneering insurance brokerage. In this engaging conversation, Sivan shared valuable insights on how Flow is changing the landscape of commercial insurance, particularly for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline processes, enhance expertise, and reduce costs.The Importance of AI in the Future of InsuranceThe insurance industry has traditionally been seen as slow to innovate, with many brokers relying on outdated systems and manual processes. However, Flow Specialty is redefining what's possible by integrating artificial intelligence into its services. AI is not just a tool for improving efficiency; it's also helping to enhance the depth of expertise available to businesses seeking coverage. By using AI to automate tasks like data extraction and policy comparison, Flow is providing brokers with better, more accurate options tailored to their clients' specific needs.In addition to streamlining processes, AI in insurance allows brokers to quickly assess the best policies for their clients, offering a level of accuracy that simply wasn't possible with traditional methods. This makes the entire insurance process faster, more transparent, and ultimately more beneficial for the end customer. For SMBs, who often don't have the same resources as larger enterprises to manage complex insurance needs, this approach is a game-changer.The use of AI is also allowing Flow to offer specialized services to businesses that might otherwise be overlooked by traditional brokers. Many small and medium-sized businesses struggle to secure appropriate coverage because they don't fit the “typical” mold of large clients that brokers prioritize. Flow's AI capabilities ensure that even the smallest accounts receive personalized attention, ensuring that businesses are properly protected from risks they might not have even considered.About Sivan IramSivan Iram is the Co-Founder and CEO of Flow Specialty, where he leads efforts to revolutionize the insurance industry. With a deep understanding of the challenges SMBs face in securing specialized insurance, Sivan is on a mission to provide businesses with innovative solutions that drive efficiency and reduce complexity.About Flow SpecialtyFlow Specialty is a cutting-edge wholesale insurance brokerage that focuses on helping businesses acquire tailored commercial insurance, including specialized products like directors and officers insurance, cyber liability, and professional liability.

The Power of Empathy in Leadership with Doug NollIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge speaks with Douglas E. Noll, owner of DougNoll.com, emotional intelligence expert, mediator, and award-winning author. Doug brings decades of insight into how empathy—often misunderstood as weakness—is in fact the foundation of strong, effective leadership. With a background that spans law, neuroscience, and international peacebuilding, Doug shares transformative tools for emotionally intelligent leadership in today's complex world.Leading with Empathy: Why Emotions Matter More Than EverDoug opens by dismantling the myth that emotions have no place in leadership. In reality, empathy is one of the oldest and most powerful human tools for communication and connection—far older than language itself. For over a million years, humans relied on nonverbal emotional signals to form social bonds and navigate conflict. That legacy is still with us today.Through his work, Doug has developed affect labeling, a neuroscience-backed technique that helps leaders de-escalate tension by naming and reflecting others' emotions. This method calms the brain's emotional centers, creating space for rational thought, trust, and clarity. Whether you're managing a team, facing conflict, or navigating change, Doug's approach makes emotional intelligence both teachable and tactical.Doug also warns leaders about relying on “gut instinct” during high-stakes decision-making. Gut feelings are often just pattern recognition—and without emotional clarity, those patterns can be misleading. The best leaders, Doug argues, are emotionally attuned, vulnerable when needed, and skilled in human behavior—not authoritarian by default.About Doug NollDouglas E. Noll, JD, MA, is the owner of DougNoll.com. After leaving a successful 22-year career as a trial lawyer, Doug became a full-time peacemaker. He is an award-winning author, mediator, teacher, and trainer whose work ranges from international conflict resolution to helping life-sentenced inmates become mediators inside maximum-security prisons. He is the co-founder of the Prison of Peace project and the creator of the Noll Affect Labeling System. His fourth book, De-Escalate: How to Calm an Angry Person in 90 Seconds or Less, has been published in multiple languages and is now in its second printing.About DougNoll.comDougNoll.com is the home of Doug's consulting, speaking, and training work. He helps leaders, educators, mediators, and organizations master emotional intelligence to build trust, resolve conflict, and foster stronger relationships in any setting. Through keynotes, workshops, online resources, and his best-selling books, Doug equips people with science-based strategies to lead with clarity and connection.Links Mentioned in this Episode:DougNoll.comDoug Noll on LinkedInDe-Escalate: How to Calm an Angry Person in 90 Seconds or LessPrison of Peace ProjectEpisode Highlights:Why empathy is one of the oldest human leadership traitsThe neuroscience behind affect labeling and how it calms conflictHow military leadership prioritizes...

“We spend so much of our life trying to put the pieces back in the dollhouse… the furniture changes, the people change.” — Beverly Jean Armento In this emotional episode of Uncorking a Story, Michael Carlon sits down with author and educator Beverly Jean Armento to discuss her powerful memoir, Seeing Eye Girl. Beverly reflects on a childhood marked by violence, secrecy, and trauma—and how the love of teachers, a resilient spirit, and the act of writing helped her reclaim her story. Now in her 80s and still writing, Beverly proves it's never too late to transform pain into purpose. Key Themes: The Broken Dollhouse as a Metaphor for Trauma: Beverly recounts a pivotal childhood moment—the night her family imploded—through the lens of a shattered dollhouse. That image would become a central metaphor for the chaos and damage wrought by familial dysfunction. The Silent Strength of “Strong Beverly”: For decades, Beverly coped with her trauma by compartmentalizing—presenting as competent and successful on the outside while suppressing her pain. It wasn't until much later that “Strong Beverly” made room for healing. Teachers as Lifelines: Beverly credits a string of devoted educators—her “angel teachers”—with being her saving grace. Each one provided a safe space, encouragement, and belief in her when her home life did not. The Power and Pain of Memoir Writing: It wasn't until retirement that Beverly began to write her story. Through guided prompts and emotional breakthroughs, she discovered that telling the truth—however painful—was both a burden and a liberation. The Essential Role of Forgiveness: Beverly's decision to forgive her mother came during a profound therapy exercise involving her mother's ashes and a conversation between “little Beverly” and her imagined mother. That moment lifted a lifelong weight. Legacy, Perspective, and the Late Blooming Artist: Beverly published Seeing Eye Girl at 81 and is already working on a follow-up. With age came perspective, and with perspective came compassion—for herself, her parents, and her past. Trauma is Timeless—So is Hope: While her story takes place decades ago, the issues of abuse, resilience, and the search for meaning remain relevant. Her memoir speaks not only for herself but for anyone who has grown up in chaos and fought their way to clarity.

What if the key to transforming communities isn't money, resources, or even a buttoned-up theology—but something far more foundational?In this special episode, we're giving you a taste of the kind of teaching you'll experience at the upcoming DNA Forum this August in Panama City, Panama. Join us as we revisit a compelling keynote from our last Forum, delivered by one of DNA's most influential trainers, Arturo Cuba.Drawing from over two decades of grassroots discipleship in rural Latin America, Cuba challenges conventional evangelical thinking with bold clarity: “People do not live out of theologies. People live out of the things that make sense in their lives.” His message unpacks how biblical principles—taught as life-shaping truths rather than abstract theology—have the power to bring deep, lasting change.Want more of this kind of insight?

In a world struggling to embrace the beauty, complexities, and possibilities of gender it's not surprising that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently called for more "masculine energy" in corporate America. His callous statement made on the Joe Rogan Experience has sparked controversy and ignited crucial conversations. His comments about masculinity suggest that corporate culture has become too "feminine" and that a "celebration of aggression" is needed.   This perspective perpetuates harmful stereotypes about what it means to be masculine, reinforcing toxic masculinity, which is a set of behaviors linked to violence, homophobia, and the devaluation of women. Recent research by the American Psychological Association reveals that toxic masculinity isn't just detrimental to workplace culture and inclusion efforts; it's also harmful to men themselves. This outdated model of masculinity limits emotional expression, promotes unhealthy competition, and restricts the full spectrum of human experience.   This podcast episode challenges Zuckerberg's narrow view and explores the concept of "multiple masculinities" – a framework that embraces diverse expressions of masculinity, including those that generously diverge from the limited behaviors that toxic masculinity prescribes.  By embracing a broader understanding of masculinity, organizational leaders can usher in a more inclusive and authentic leadership landscape that benefits people who express their genders in many different ways.   To delve deeper into this critical topic, host Rhodes Perry sits down with masculinity expert Adam Segal, founder and facilitator of New Masculinities Group. Adam is a dedicated advocate for critical conversations around gender, sexuality, and masculinity through an intersectional feminist lens. He brings a wealth of experience facilitating men's groups, conducting male accountability work, and promoting anti-racism efforts.    In this insightful conversation, Rhodes and Adam will explore: ---The limitations of traditional masculinity. Unpacking the harmful impacts of toxic masculinity on individuals, workplaces, and society as a whole. ---The power of multiple masculinities. Exploring the benefits of embracing a broader spectrum of masculine expressions, including those that challenge traditional norms. ---Creating a gender inclusive leadership landscape.

Everyone wants to be treated in a way that shows they matter. We may differ in status, but we are all equal in dignity. In this episode, Donna and I explore how appreciating dignity can help us bring out the best in people. Key Points Everyone wants to be treated in a way that shows they matter. Dignity is different than respect. Everyone has dignity, but not everyone deserves respect. A major misconception of dignity is that we receive our worth from external sources. We're at our best when connected to our own dignity, connected to the dignity of others, and connected the dignity of something bigger. Start with vulnerability and empathy. These open the doors to connecting with your own dignity and the dignity of others. We may differ in status, but we are all equal in dignity.

In this very important episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker is taking a look at the updated evidence on Vitamin K for newborns. Vitamin K deficiency bleeding (VKDB) is a rare but serious condition that can lead to life-threatening complications in infants. Dr. Dekker breaks down what Vitamin K is, why newborns are at risk for VKDB, and the different supplementation options available—including the Vitamin K shot and oral drops. This episode also tackles myths and misinformation surrounding Vitamin K, including concerns about safety, the so-called “gentle birth” exemption, and the controversial "black box warning." Armed with new research, we explore the effectiveness of various oral Vitamin K regimens, and go over the global recommendations for Vitamin K supplementation.   (00:04:01) The Essential Role of Vitamin K for Blood Clotting (00:08:10) Significance of Vitamin K in Newborns' Health (00:14:31) Preventing VKDB: Vitamin K Shot vs Drops (00:16:14) Vitamin K Shot vs. Oral Drops Debate (00:20:00) Effectiveness of Oral Vitamin K Drops vs. Injection (00:31:39) Vitamin K Transfer Through Placental Barrier (00:41:33) Preventing VKDB in Newborns: Pros and Cons of Vitamin K Options   Resources: Read the full-length EBB Signature Article on Vitamin K (includes all scientific references + a FREE 1-page handout!) at https://ebbirth.com/vitaminK EBB Pocket Guide to Newborn Procedures: https://ebbirth.com/shop EBB Childbirth Class: https://ebbirth.com/childbirthclass CDC Real stories: People with Vitamin K.
