Regular energy drink use pushes your heart and blood vessels into a constant stress state that medications and fitness can't override while stimulants remain in your system Severe blood pressure spikes and dangerous heart rhythm events have occurred in people drinking energy drinks who appeared healthy and had no prior heart disease Energy drinks stack caffeine with other stimulants and added sugar, creating a combined strain that overwhelms normal cardiovascular control mechanisms Low cellular energy drives the urge to rely on stimulants, but energy drinks mask the problem rather than restoring real energy production Removing energy drinks and rebuilding cellular energy through food, movement, and daily structure helps your heart regain stability and lowers real cardiovascular risk

During today's episode, Richard explained his compelling vision for a community built on intentional mutual benefit—a concept that resonates deeply with me.Richard's new book, Birthing the Symbiotic Age, is the culmination of over two decades of work, blending personal experience, community organizing, and a belief in the interconnectedness of humanity and nature. He challenges the idea that we are separate, saying, “We're actually all connected…within our families, neighborhoods, local communities, nations, and worldwide.”This intentional mutual benefit, as Richard describes it, is a culture where every action, thought, and decision considers its impact on others. It's about making connection a core value, from small personal interactions to global systems. Richard explained, “Symbiotic culture…is a culture in which intentional mutual benefit between human beings and with nature becomes the norm at all scales.”He draws from practical experience, sharing stories of community transformation. Richard recounted his involvement in initiatives like the Nevada Micro-Enterprise Initiative, which provided low-income entrepreneurs with seed funding, mentorship, and technical assistance. These efforts exemplify his belief that mutual benefit can underpin economic and social systems, creating a “virtuous economy.”This vision aligns beautifully with the principles of impact crowdfunding, where investors and entrepreneurs unite to create positive change. Richard's work shows how embedding intentional mutual benefit into our economy has the power to transform not only individual lives but entire communities.Richard's book, Birthing the Symbiotic Age, offers a roadmap for rebuilding our culture with love and connection at its heart. As he said, “When we engage the world, we are coming from that deeper connected perspective.”For those interested in this vision, Richard's book is available at richardflyer.com. By embracing his ideas, we can take steps toward realizing this symbiotic age together.tl;dr:Richard Flyer shares a 20-year journey to create a symbiotic culture of intentional mutual benefit.He explains how his book, Birthing the Symbiotic Age, challenges the myth of separation in society.Richard highlights community-building efforts, including crime reduction and micro-financing initiatives.He describes his superpower: recognizing the intrinsic divinity or goodness in every individual.Richard provides actionable advice for fostering connection and building a culture of mutual benefit.How to Develop Recognizing the Divinity in Others As a SuperpowerRichard's superpower is the ability to see the divinity—or intrinsic goodness—in everyone. He explained, “The superpower is to see the truth that we're all made in the image of God…underneath all of the apparent polarization.” This perspective allows him to bridge divides and unite communities, focusing on the shared humanity that connects us all. Richard emphasized that this principle applies universally, regardless of one's spiritual or secular beliefs, making it a powerful tool for fostering connection and collaboration.Richard shared a transformative story of overcoming his personal biases to unite his community. In Reno, Nevada, he recognized his antipathy toward religious organizations was limiting his ability to include them in community-building efforts. To address this, he spent a year visiting various religious and spiritual groups, from Christian churches to Buddhist sanghas. This experience helped him see individuals beyond their labels, fostering greater understanding and collaboration. This shift enabled him to unite diverse groups to address shared challenges.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Attend events hosted by organizations or people you may disagree with to foster understanding.Practice small, intentional acts of kindness, such as holding the door open for others.Consciously remind yourself of the shared humanity in everyone, even those with opposing views.Reflect on personal biases and take steps to overcome them for greater connection.By following Richard's example and advice, you can make recognizing the divinity in others a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

It integrates insights from community development, economics, spirituality and faith traditions, and living systems to help people move beyond polarization toward shared purpose and practical collaboration. Rather than advancing ideology or top-down solutions, Symbiotic Culture emphasizes connecting the good already present in local communities—linking people, initiatives, and institutions so they can work together more effectively through shared values and virtues such as trust, mutual responsibility, and care. The work holds that lasting social renewal is both practical and spiritual, beginning not with systems alone but with people learning how to live, work, and solve problems together in meaningful ways.Website: richardflyer.comBiographical Information: Richard Flyer is an author, community-builder, and faith-rooted cultural strategist whose life's work bridges science, spirituality, and civic renewal. Trained as a biologist, he studied pilot whale and dolphin communication at UC Santa Cruz and San Diego State before earning an M.S. in Biology. His grounding in living systems science later became the foundation for Symbiotic Culture—a framework that integrates spiritual insight with practical tools for regenerative community life.Richard's career spans health, education, and grassroots leadership. He pioneered hyperbaric oxygen therapy programs in Nevada hospitals, taught in community colleges and detention facilities, and led nonprofits including the San Diego Food Bank, Neighbors United, and the Nevada Microenterprise Initiative. Internationally, he served with Sri Lanka's Sarvodaya Shramadana movement, supporting a national network of over 5,000 communities. His work draws inspiration from Jesus and the early church, Gandhi's village republics, and Václav Benda's idea of the Parallel Polis.For Richard, following Jesus is not about dogma, but about daily practice—learning to embody love, reconciliation, hospitality, and neighborliness in a divided world. He sees in Jesus not only the center of his faith, but a bridge across traditions, calling people into deeper connection and shared responsibility.Today, through Symbiotic Culture, Richard mentors leaders across faith, civic, and cultural spheres. In Birthing the Symbiotic Age, he offers a vision for a Global Commonwealth of 50,000 empowered communities—a parallel society rooted in love, justice, and mutual flourishing. He lives on O‘ahu, Hawaii with his wife Marta, drawing renewal from the islands, time with family, and the simple joy of Connecting the Good wherever he goes.LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/richard-flyer-6820727Personal Twitter Handle: @Richard_Flyer Personal Facebook Profile: facebook.com/richard.flyerInstagram Handle: @richard.flyerSupport Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

Boilers can feel intimidating the first time you step into a boiler room—the heat, the noise, the pressure gauge, and the weight of knowing that mistakes can be costly. Trace Blackmore opens with a reminder that boilers deserve respect, not fear—and that learning fundamentals is how you replace mystique with clarity.  The talent gap behind the boiler room door Eric Johnson, Founder and CEO of Boilearn, explains why boiler expertise is becoming harder to replace. He points to the shrinking pipeline of boiler-trained technicians—historically strengthened by Navy steam training—and why companies can't rely on "tribal knowledge" and informal shadowing alone to develop the next generation.  Training that scales past the 2–3 day class  Eric shares what pushed him to build Boilearn: technicians and operators need structured, repeatable competency systems—not just scattered classes and a "shotgun approach" to on-the-job training. He lays out why fundamentals can be taught effectively online when it's done well, and why travel-heavy training models often spend a large share of the budget on logistics instead of learning.  Troubleshooting that starts with fundamentals  Troubleshooting is where boiler work can feel like a mystery—until you understand fundamentals and sequence of operations. Eric explains how technicians can isolate problems faster by knowing what should be moving (or not moving), testing one theory at a time, and using electrical diagrams as a practical roadmap when formal sequence documentation isn't available.  Better partnerships between boiler techs and water treaters  The conversation closes with practical steps that reduce friction and finger-pointing: take photos during inspections, package observations clearly in service reports, communicate directly when possible, and over-communicate inspection schedules so the water treater can prepare the program before the boiler is opened.  Listen to the full conversation above.

There is something very intoxicating about going to a Bond Fan event and in this podcast I discuss what I think are the main driving forces behind them!

On this lively episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael sits down with Brady Cloven, executive director of Friends of Old Town, and Corporal Rob Sloan, the City of Winchester's dedicated Old Town walking mall officer. Their conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at how visibility, relationships, and everyday interaction help keep downtown safe — and welcoming — for residents, businesses, and visitors alike. From Fairfax to Foot Patrol After more than three decades in law enforcement, Corporal Sloan brings a wealth of experience to Winchester. He spent 28 years with Fairfax County Police before relocating north to finish his career closer to home. Although the shift from big-city policing to a small-town walking mall might seem dramatic, Sloan says the transition has been refreshing. Unlike the fast-paced environment of Fairfax, Old Town Winchester allows him to interact with people in positive moments — conversations filled with greetings, gratitude, and genuine connection. Those daily interactions, he explains, make the job uniquely rewarding. Why Foot Patrol Makes a Difference Unlike officers confined to cruisers, Sloan spends his shifts walking — a lot. Averaging 15,000 to 20,000 steps per day, he patrols not only the pedestrian mall but surrounding streets and alleys as well. That visibility matters. By walking instead of driving, Sloan builds familiarity. He learns who belongs, who needs help, and how the rhythm of downtown changes throughout the day. More importantly, people learn him — by name, by face, and by trust. As Brady notes, merchants quickly felt more comfortable once Sloan arrived. Business owners gained a consistent point of contact, and open communication replaced uncertainty. Community Policing in Action At the heart of Sloan's role is community-oriented policing — a philosophy centered on communication rather than enforcement. Whether speaking with visitors, checking in with business owners, or engaging with the unhoused population, Sloan approaches each interaction with respect and conversation first. His goal isn't intimidation; it's understanding. He believes relationships prevent problems before they start — and when issues do arise, familiarity helps resolve them calmly and efficiently. Changing Perceptions, One Conversation at a Time Sloan speaks candidly about misconceptions surrounding law enforcement. Too often, he says, people meet police officers only on their worst days. The walking mall offers a different opportunity — one where children can wave hello, visitors can ask for directions, and families can see officers as helpers rather than threats. Janet reflects on how damaging it can be when parents use police as a form of punishment. Sloan agrees wholeheartedly, emphasizing that children should feel safe approaching officers — especially if they ever need help. On the mall, those everyday positive moments help reshape perceptions across generations. A Walking Welcome Center In many ways, Sloan doubles as a roaming ambassador for Winchester. Tourists frequently stop him to ask where to eat, what museums to visit, or how far away certain landmarks are. Those questions have even inspired him to brush up on Winchester history so he can better serve curious visitors. While he diplomatically avoids choosing favorite restaurants, he excels at pointing people in the right direction — often beginning with the most important qualifier of all: How much time do you have? Safety Through Presence, Not Pressure Much of Sloan's work operates quietly in the background. His uniformed presence alone acts as a deterrent — a concept rooted in the "broken windows" theory of policing. Simply being seen reduces problematic behavior before it escalates. From addressing bicycle and scooter concerns on the mall to educating visitors about city ordinances, Sloan emphasizes that enforcement is rarely the first step. Education comes first. Warnings follow. Enforcement becomes a last resort. The goal, he explains, is never to ruin someone's day — it's to keep everyone safe. Balancing a Complex Downtown Environment Old Town Winchester presents unique challenges. The mall functions as a pedestrian space, a residential area, a tourism hub, and — during certain hours — an active roadway. Add e-bikes, scooters, crowded events, and weekend foot traffic, and safety becomes a delicate balancing act. Sloan works closely with Friends of Old Town and city partners to address concerns as they arise. Community meetings allow business owners to voice issues, brainstorm solutions, and ensure their concerns move up the chain. That collaboration builds confidence — and strengthens trust. Events, Energy, and the Pulse of Downtown As the conversation continues, Brady outlines an active lineup of upcoming Old Town events, from winter food competitions to February's packed calendar: A sausage gravy cookoff benefiting local organizations Chocolate Escape, encouraging shoppers to explore downtown stores Spin to Winchester, a fitness-based fundraiser Black History Month events, including jazz nights, storytelling, and cultural programming Restaurant Week, showcasing the city's dining scene For Sloan, attending monthly meetings helps him stay informed — ensuring he's ready for crowds, questions, and changing traffic patterns. A Familiar Face Makes All the Difference As the conversation wraps, one message stands out clearly: people feel safer when they recognize who's protecting them. Seeing Corporal Sloan walking the mall — stopping into shops, greeting regulars, and chatting with visitors — brings comfort. It reassures business owners, enhances the visitor experience, and reinforces Old Town's identity as a welcoming place. In a space that serves as the heart of Winchester tourism and community life, that calm, consistent presence matters more than most people realize. An Open Invitation Sloan closes with a simple request: say hello. Whether someone recognizes him from the radio, the newspaper, or a casual stroll downtown, he welcomes the interaction. Every handshake, wave, or brief conversation strengthens the community he walks through each day. Because at the end of the shift — after thousands of steps and countless conversations — his job is about more than safety. It's about belonging.

President Trump announced a deal to keep TikTok available in the U.S. The agreement caps a six-year legal and geopolitical fight after Congress passed a law requiring TikTok to divest from its Chinese parent company or face a ban. The administration says the deal protects American users from Chinese influence, but many national security experts argue it falls short. Nick Schifrin reports.

Helen Hynson Vettori (https://www.helenhynsonvettori.com/) is a former EMT/paramedic and retired senior medical intelligence analyst at the Department of Homeland Security. We have her on the show to share her insights and the two sci-fi thriller novels she wrote based on her experiences. Helen channeled her real-world emergency response and pandemic-planning experience into her sci-fi disaster thriller series, beginning with Black Swan Impact and followed by Black Swan Shock. A “Black Swan” event is a term used to describe a catastrophic incident that no one could have foreseen or imagined because of its unprecedented impact. Helen didn't imagine crisis from the outside, rather she spent years preparing for biological threats, including pandemics, and then watched COVID unfold in real time. That insider perspective and her frustration with confusing messaging and federal missteps became the fuel for fiction that feels uncomfortably plausible. Dr. Joe Holley from Paragon Medical Education Group joined the podcast as well as our disaster emergency management expert Becky DePodwin and our disaster weather expert Dan DePodwin. The episode is co-hosted by Sam Bradley and Jamie Davis. Scroll down for Podcast Discussion Summary Thank you as always to Paragon Medical Education Group for their long-term support of the Disaster Podcast. Dr. Joe Holley and the team at Paragon continue to provide excellent and customized disaster response training to jurisdictions around the U.S. and internationally as well. Podcast Discussion Summary Winter Storm Impact and Preparations The meeting focused on a major winter storm expected to impact large parts of the United States, with Dan providing detailed forecasts of snow, ice, and travel disruptions across multiple regions. The group discussed the storm’s potential effects on various cities, including Oklahoma City, Atlanta, and the Northeast, emphasizing the danger of ice accumulation and power outages. They also advised listeners to consider rescheduling flights and prepare for travel disruptions, particularly in the affected areas. The conversation ended with an introduction to their guest, Helen Hinson Vittori, a former EMT and intelligence analyst at the Department of Homeland Security, who will discuss her experiences during the pandemic. Emergency Response Expert’s Pandemic Novel Helen shared her extensive background in emergency response, including her work as a paramedic, her role in biothreat planning at DHS, and her experience creating pandemic response plans. She retired in 2018 but became concerned about the government’s response to COVID-19 in 2020, which led her to write a sci-fi political thriller novel called “Black Swan Impact” that explores a catastrophic pathogen event in the year 2113. The novel served as a cathartic way for her to process the chaotic response to the pandemic she had witnessed firsthand. Emergency Preparedness Through Personal Writing Helen shared her experience as an emergency manager and author, discussing how writing provided her with both peace and a mission to educate others about emergency preparedness. She emphasized that individual preparedness is crucial for both personal and community-level disasters, and highlighted a book club question in her second book, “Black Swan Shock,” that encourages readers to assess their own emergency preparedness. Federal Pandemic Planning and Leadership Helen shared her experience working on federal pandemic plans and witnessing their partial abandonment during the actual crisis, expressing disappointment in leadership’s failure to communicate effectively and adhere to established protocols. The discussion explored how better preparation and public education could improve future responses to pandemics and other disasters, with Helen emphasizing the importance of all-hazard planning that starts at the individual level. The group agreed to have Helen return for another podcast episode, and several connections were made between participants for future discussions. Wrap up and updates The team went through contact information and Joe shared that Paragon is working on a new cadaveric-based simulator for pericardial tamponade training. The team encouraged listeners to stay safe and check out Helen’s books. The group discussed the role of specialized training, with Jamie highlighting the sponsorship of the Disaster Podcast by Paragon Medical Education Group.

His innovative technology, capable of analyzing dozens of biomarkers from a single drop of blood, was tested aboard the International Space Station (ISS). In today's episode, Eugene shared the remarkable journey of rHEALTH, from competing with top companies for a NASA partnership to launching its device into space.What sets rHEALTH apart is its proven reliability in extreme conditions, including the zero-gravity environment of space. Eugene explained, “We tested this technology on the International Space Station with astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti, who operated the device and obtained precise values from single drops of sample. They did the analysis using our device and got absolutely the right answers.” This achievement underlines the robustness and accuracy of rHEALTH's technology, qualities that distinguish it from other attempts at single-drop blood diagnostics.Unlike Theranos, which famously failed to deliver on similar promises, rHEALTH's technology has been rigorously vetted. Eugene highlighted the grueling process of earning NASA's trust. “To be the one company selected to demonstrate our novel technology on the ISS was a huge undertaking,” he said. He recounted the intense competition and NASA's exacting standards, which included testing the device's functionality during zero-gravity parabolic flights.Now, Eugene and his team are bringing this groundbreaking technology to the public with a regulated crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine. “You don't have to be a Silicon Valley elite or a Boston venture capitalist to participate,” I noted during the episode. With this campaign, everyday investors have the opportunity to support a proven technology poised to revolutionize healthcare.The implications of rHEALTH's success are profound. If it works in space, it can work in remote clinics, underserved communities, and even in people's homes. This technology has the potential to make diagnostics more accessible, empowering individuals to take control of their health.Eugene's vision, combined with rHEALTH's proven track record, makes this an exciting investment opportunity. Visit StartEngine to learn more and become part of this revolutionary journey.tl;dr:Eugene Chan shared how rHEALTH's diagnostic technology was tested and proven aboard the International Space Station.He explained the rigorous process of competing with other companies to secure NASA's trust.rHEALTH's crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine makes investing in this revolutionary technology accessible to all.Eugene highlighted the importance of his North Star: improving human health with innovative solutions.He shared advice on maintaining focus and using challenges as opportunities to achieve big goals.How to Develop Staying Focused on a North Star As a SuperpowerEugene's superpower is his ability to maintain a relentless focus on his “North Star”—the overarching goal of improving human health. As he explained, “The North Star has always been to improve the human condition and help us improve human health.” For Eugene, this guiding principle has driven his work through challenges, from competing for NASA's attention to developing groundbreaking diagnostic technology.One illustrative story of this superpower came during a pivotal moment in Eugene's career. While competing in the XPRIZE competition, he found himself grappling with a flawed prototype. It was during this time, sitting at his wife's bedside after the birth of their child, that the concept for rHEALTH's current device was born. Combining the pressure of the competition, the inspiration of his newborn daughter, and his unwavering focus on creating a robust solution, Eugene developed the technology that would later achieve success in space.Eugene also shared actionable tips for developing this superpower:Identify your personal North Star—a goal or mission that deeply resonates with you.Let that North Star guide your decisions, especially during challenging times.Stay committed to your mission, even when facing setbacks or obstacles.Use external pressures, like deadlines or competitions, to fuel innovation and progress.By following Eugene's example and advice, you can make staying focused on a North Star a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileEugene Chan (he/him):CEO, Founder, rHEALTHAbout rHEALTH: rHEALTH has worked with NASA to develop a miniaturized diagnostic test system to keep astronauts healthy on the way to Mars. We have successfully tested this onboard the International Space Station and published the results in Nature Communications, demonstrating results from blood in minutes in extreme environments. The technology shrinks a central clinical lab and a team of doctors in a form suitable for everyday use. Comprehensive lab-quality analysis can be performed by anyone, fundamentally shifting diagnostics from centralized facilities to the point-of-care and homes. The focus is to usher in Diagnostics 2.0, allowing high-value multiplexed diagnostics.Website: rhealth.comOther URL: startengine.com/offering/rhealthBiographical Information: Dr. Chan is a physician-inventor. He is currently Founder, CEO of rHEALTH, and President, CSO of DNA Medicine Institute, a medical innovation laboratory. He has been honored as Esquire magazine's Best and Brightest, one of MIT Technology Review's Top 100 Innovators, and an XPRIZE winner. His work has contributed to the birth of next-generation sequencing, health monitoring in remote environments, and therapeutics. Dr. Chan holds over 60 patents and publications, with work funded by the NIH, NASA, and USAF. Dr. Chan received an A.B. in Biochemical Sciences from Harvard College summa cum laude in 1996, received an M.D. from Harvard Medical School with honors in 2007, and trained in medicine at the Brigham and Women's Hospital. He has been in zero gravity and led the team that demonstrated the rHEALTH ONE bioanalyzer onboard the International Space Station.LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/eugene-chan-4220045Personal Twitter Handle: @Dr_EugeneChanSupport Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

Today's Fear-Laden Events and “Noise” Will Not Matter If You Practice the Presence of God as You Live Your Life MESSAGE SUMMARY: You cannot practice the presence of God when you practice the presence of fear. You may be inclined to fear for the future of our country or fear about your personal finances or family or health issues. If you practice the presence of God, you will have peace in amidst your life-storm and trauma. The “Presence of Jesus” in your life begins with persistent prayer to the end that you constantly and consistently seek to include Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, in all aspects of your life. “Practicing the Presence of Jesus” in your life will prove to be life changing a rewarding. Jesus provides comfort for your anxieties in Mathew 6:33-34: “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.". Also, in Mathew 11:28-30, Jesus makes it clear to you that He wants to walk with you in your times of trouble and fear so that you can offload to Him, the Creator of the Universe, some of those issues that drive your fears: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.". If you practice the presence of God, it will not matter what this world or the devil throws your way.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, everything in me resists following you into the garden of Gethsemane to fall on my face to the ground before you. Grant me the courage to follow you all the way to the cross, whatever that might mean for my life. And then, by your grace, lead me to resurrection life and power. In Jesus' name, amen.        Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 100). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Inadequacy. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Abundance. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): John 3:16-17; 1 John 5:1-5; Psalms 37:41-50.

Christine Whisler went from reporting the bad news to spreading some good news through her company Southern Palm Communications in Tampa, Florida. She helps companies - specifically philanthropies - find and uplift their own good voice. That's what she came on to join us to talk about - and yes, we do - but then something else happened, right in the moment, when she went to answer a question about expectations. And that something turned into pure magic as she shares how she took one of the most difficult moments of her life - losing her mother - and one of the happiest moments - her own wedding - and blended them together in the most unexpected way. For this time we are living through, where there is so much darkness around us, listen to her journey, how she found and spread the light, and how you may be able to do it for yourself.

In this episode, I sit down with one of the most-watched independent voices in America for a wide-ranging conversation about the chaos and confusion many people feel right now. We talk about Minnesota unrest and immigration enforcement, why so many Americans feel politically homeless, and what it looks like when trust in institutions collapses. We also get into foreign policy, censorship, “unaskable” topics, and why preparedness matters more than ever, financially, physically, and spiritually. This is a raw conversation about where the country is headed, why people feel like the system isn't accountable, and what a normal person can actually do to protect their family and future.Follow Jimmy on Instagram: instagram.com/mrjimmyrexWatch more episodes on YouTube: youtube.com/@mrjimmyrex
