This episode is for anyone who has ever hesitated to talk about their accomplishments because they don't want to come across as "too much." Today we welcome Alison Fragale, organizational psychologist, professor, and author of Likable Badass: How Women Get the Success They Deserve, to challenge and unlearn the outdated beliefs that keep us quiet, small, and overworked.Alison uses behavioral science and practical strategies to show you how to be both authentic AND strategic. These two concepts are not mutually exclusive - they're actually powerful allies in your career. In this episode, you'll learn about:The core formula for introducing your business that highlights your capabilities and proves you care (solving a problem).Why "hiding your successes" to appear humble actually kills connection and makes people question your relationship with them.How to use experimentation to practice assertiveness without being terrified (and the danger of socialized "good girl" beliefs).The skill of making people curious about you and the powerful difference between a monologue and a polite discourse.Why reciprocity rules relationships and how to use it to get people to naturally talk you up.Alison's framework for rewriting your story when you're in a "messy middle" or career transition.Why other promoters can brag on you in ways you can't brag on yourself, and how to motivate them to pick up the microphone.The simple, two-minute investments you can make daily to build your network (like providing easy, valuable help).The vital message: Authentic and strategic are not opposites.Episode Timestamps:00:02:00 – Alison's work: Evolving to help women use behavioral science for confidence.00:04:00 – The struggle of self-introduction: How to talk about accomplishments without sounding boastful.00:07:00 – The common mistake: Hiding successes and why it damages relationships.00:11:00 – Using experimentation to lean into assertiveness.00:16:00 – Mastering the art of making people curious about you.00:21:40 – Advice for rewriting your story during a "messy middle" career transition.00:29:30 – The power of other promoters and the three ways to get them talking about you.00:36:00 – Simple ways to add value to your network within a five-minute bandwidth.00:48:20 – The final takeaway: Why "authentic and strategic" is your new mantra.About Alison Fragale: Website: https://alisonfragale.com/ Book: Likable Badass: How Women Get the Success They Deserve Newsletter: The Upper Hand: Behavioral Science to Help Women Excel: https://alisonfragale.com/book/In-Person Event: Both Alison and Megan are speaking at the Women Lead NC event on November 13th in Raleigh, North Carolina.

This week I'm reflecting on a huge milestone: the 500th episode of This Old Marketing with my friend and co-host Robert Rose. Five hundred weeks without missing an episode. How did we get here? And more importantly—what can you, as a creator, take away from this kind of consistency? In this episode, I break down the keys that made it possible: Consistency builds trust. Showing up week after week, no matter what. Partnership makes the journey sustainable. The right collaborator keeps things fun and accountable. Community comes before content. People return for the connection, not just the information. Evolving with a steady premise. Adapting to new trends while staying anchored in a core promise. Whether you're five episodes in or fifty issues into a newsletter, this episode will remind you why the long game matters and how to play it.
Welcome to the Social-Engineer Podcast: The Doctor Is In Series – where we will discuss understandings and developments in the field of psychology. In today's episode, Chris and Dr. Abbie explore the intriguing phenomena of dreams, the placebo effect, and déjà vu. They delve into the mysteries of why dreams can feel more emotionally intense than reality, how belief can trigger real physiological changes, and the perplexing sensation of déjà vu that leaves us questioning our memories. Through engaging discussions, they uncover what science knows and the many questions that remain unanswered about these fascinating topics.

In this episode of Life Will Be, Lydia T. Blanco explores the theme of vulnerability and the importance of showing up for oneself. She discusses the shift in expectations from others, the significance of setting boundaries for self-care, and the need for self-awareness in relationships. Lydia emphasizes that one should not expect others to reciprocate the same energy and love they give, as this often leads to disappointment. The conversation encourages listeners to manage their relationships and energy wisely, fostering personal growth and emotional health.Key TakeawaysVulnerability is key to personal growth.Expecting yourself from others leads to disappointment.Setting boundaries is essential for self-care.Self-awareness helps in understanding relationships.Friendships are as important as romantic relationships.You cannot teach others how to treat you.Not everyone will reciprocate your energy.It's important to know who you are dealing with.You don't have to give everything your all.Every expectation can set you up for failure.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Vulnerability07:13 The Shift of Expectations10:20 Setting Boundaries for Self-Care13:08 Understanding Relationships and Expectations16:09 The Importance of Self-Awareness18:55 Managing Energy and Relationships21:51 The Reality of Giving and Receiving24:36 Navigating Changes in Relationships27:14 Final Thoughts on Expectations and Self-ReflectionStay ConnectedWebsite: LydiaTBlanco.comSocial: @LifeWillBePod - @LydiaTBlanco

Membership | Donations | Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts✨ About This EpisodeThis week I talk to Sam Arbesman, scientist-in-residence at Lux Capital and Research Fellow at the Long Now Foundation, weaving together and plucking at the ideas in his delightful new book, The Magic of Code: How Digital Language Created and Connected Our World…and Shapes Our Future. Sam is a brilliant scholar, a maverick mind, and a good friend—so even though we don't see perfectly eye-to-eye about just where the analogy of code as magic works and where it falls apart, that tiny bit of friction makes for a fascinating joint exploration into the liminal zones where our categories fray and their distinctions are constantly rewritten.In this episode, we discuss:• Sam's origin story as a code-lover (00:10:20)• Code as “algebra and fire” (00:14:17)• If code is magic, what is magic? (00:20:10)• Open-source development and open-ended innovation (00:25:48)• Rethinking the nature of “failure” in the so-called Technocene (00:32:12)• Navigating simplicity and complexity (00:38:44)• Acceptable and unacceptable sacrifices to the incomprehensibility of our technologies (00:45:02)• The squishy overlap between tech and biology (00:54:03)• The co-domestication of software bugs and people (01:03:22)• And the emerging age of ephemerality (01:15:55)It was, as it always is with Sam, a joy.

In case you missed it, last week was NY Climate Week. There were well over 1,000 events — from summits with CEO and heads of state, to film screenings, concerts, parties, boat cruises, pitch sessions, hackathons and much more. I tried to sum up my experience at New York climate week in a special episode two years ago. This year, of course, the context was different with a US administration no longer interested in climate, and a lot of green hushing, hand wringing and new language that aims to be less politicizing.To me, one of the most interesting things about NY Climate Week is that it's not the only one. Climate weeks are spreading. San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington DC, San Diego, Shanghai, Bangkok, Panama City all have climate weeks. There might be dozens more in the works. No city on the planet is immune from the impact of climate, and most cities have thriving ecosystems of organizations, innovators, investors, policymakers, researchers and more working to advance climate solutions and adapt to a changing planet. In this conversation I'm joined by Nishant Mani and Dan Thorman, co-founders of the LA Climate Week. Nishant and Dan saw a need to bring together their community. They volunteered to lead and have built LA Climate Week into a successful example that people anywhere can follow to create their own week of solidarity, learning and action. We talk about their backgrounds, the founding story of LA Climate Week, the impact of the LA wildfires on last year's event, lessons they've learned and much more. So whether or not you were in New York last week, I hope you'll enjoy this conversation and consider how you can help your local climate community wherever you are. On today's episode, we cover:1:22 – Recap of New York Climate Week & Spread of Climate Weeks3:43 – Nishant's Personal & Professional Background6:19 – Dan's Personal & Professional Background 10:16 – The Origin Story of LA Climate Week14:40 – The Role of Entertainment & Culture in LA Climate Week17:08 – Entertainment Industry's Role in Climate Movement18:33 – Impact of Wildfires on LA Climate Week24:47 – The Broader Role of Climate Weeks & Local Collaboration27:51 – Lessons Learned from Organizing LA Climate Week32:20 – Evolving the Structure and Infrastructure Involvement33:02 – Measuring Success and Growth of LA Climate Week36:44 – Community Engagement & Accessibility39:32 – Aspirations for the Future: Magic Wand Scenario42:21 – Future Planning and Event Announcement44:14 – Closing Remarks and Call to ActionResources MentionedLA Climate WeekClimate CapitalTerra.doReunionCollidescope FoundationJane Goodall InstituteConnect with usNishant ManiDan ThormanJason RissmanKeep...

On this episode of the HAYVN Hubcast, host Nancy Sheed sat down with Julie Mountain and Dana Noorily, the powerhouse duo behind The Granola Bar. What started as a single idea between two friends has grown into a thriving restaurant group with multiple locations and now, expansion into New York City.

SHOW NOTES: Welcome back to The Money Pit! Today, we have an action-packed show designed to help you tackle those crucial fall projects, regain control over clutter, and navigate the shifting landscape of housing. Join us as we discuss topics and caller questions that include: - Transforming Outdoor Spaces with Hardscaping: We'll share projects perfect for this time of year, including how products like Ladera and RumbleStone from Pavestone can transform forgotten yards with gorgeous patios, fire pits, and useful garden walls, adding curb appeal that lasts. - Understanding Home Organization and Clutter: A new national survey reveals that women are far more likely to take charge of tidiness and feel better when their homes are organized. We'll discuss what motivates Americans to get things under control, the tools they prefer, and the biggest challenges to staying organized. - The Evolving Townhome Market: Townhomes used to be the go-to for affordable home ownership, but we are looking at how rising construction costs, stricter regulations, and tougher master insurance rules are making this dream harder to build. - Essential Fall Floor Protection: As the weather cools, we spend more time indoors – bringing mud and other grime inside, too. We're sharing easy ways to care for your floors, including using doormats, switching to microfiber mops, and deep cleaning high-traffic areas. Q & A: - Courtney in Pennsylvania calls about adding air conditioning to her Cape Cod house and asks whether she should remove her existing baseboard heating system for an all-in-one unit. We strongly advise against removing that wonderful, clean baseboard heat, suggesting Courtney seek a second opinion on ductwork. - David in Kansas City had foundation repairs done and was told by the contractors to seal the entire foundation and close off all the crawl space vents. We give David basic steps to reduce moisture, including installing a thick plastic vapor barrier on his dirt floor, ensuring his downspouts are clean and extended, and checking the soil grading. - Carrie is deciding where to put a second bathroom in her 1912 house, choosing between a vacant basement area or a partially finished attic space. We recommend the second-floor (attic) location, since adding a bathroom upstairs is more attractive for future buyers and improves the overall resale value of the home. - Greg in Ohio wonders if he can apply stone veneer over his old exterior glazed block building to improve curb appeal. We advise him that this project is possible, especially with a thin veneer, provided that he researches the proper strong veneer adhesive and ensures the underlying glazed stone is in good shape. - John in Bedford, New York, emailed us because his circuit breaker keeps tripping immediately every time he resets it, even though everything is unplugged. We stress that this means there is a short, and he needs to call a professional electrician who can quickly and safely resolve the issue.

Is androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) always necessary when prostate cancer patients undergo radiation? And if so, for how long—six months, a year, two years? In this insightful conversation, Dr. Geo sits down with Dr. Nima Aghdam, radiation oncologist at NY CyberKnife and NYU Langone, to explore the evolving role of ADT in prostate cancer treatment.Dr. Aghdam shares his expertise on advanced radiation techniques like SBRT, personalized approaches to ADT duration, and the importance of lifestyle interventions. Together, they highlight how individualized care can improve survival, minimize side effects, and help men thrive beyond diagnosis.If you or a loved one are facing decisions about radiation and hormone therapy for prostate cancer, this episode offers clarity, evidence-based guidance, and hope.Radiation vs. Surgery: Both are highly effective; choice often comes down to quality-of-life goals and patient preference.Lymph Node Positive Disease: Options include focal SBRT or comprehensive external beam therapy; treatment decisions must balance efficacy and quality of life.Lifestyle's Role: Exercise and nutrition create a “hostile microenvironment” for cancer, improving both survival and side-effect management.Radiation Innovations: From rectal spacers to fewer treatment sessions (trials reducing SBRT from five to two fractions), techniques continue to evolve.ADT Considerations:Historically prescribed for up to 24–36 months with radiation.New genomic and AI-based classifiers may allow some men to stop ADT earlier (6–12 months).Balancing survival benefits with quality of life is critical.PSA Anxiety: PSA fluctuations don't always equate to recurrence or mortality. Context and long-term monitoring matter more than isolated numbers.Finding the Right Oncologist: Beyond equipment and technology, trust and honest communication with your doctor are essential.Timestamps00:00 – Introduction: Is ADT always necessary during radiation?05:00 – Radiation vs. surgery for localized and advanced prostate cancer.10:00 – Salvage options: what happens if radiation or surgery fails?13:00 – Treating prostate cancer with lymph node involvement.17:00 – Communicating metastasis risk and long-term outcomes to patients.18:30 – Lifestyle interventions as part of prostate cancer care.21:00 – Rectal spacers and preparation for SBRT.23:30 – Advances in SBRT: reducing from five fractions to two.25:30 – Understanding fractions, dosage, and radiation delivery.32:00 – Personalizing ADT: who benefits, and for how long?36:00 – Clinical trials on ADT duration (6, 12, 18, 24+ months).39:00 – Radiation's long-lasting effects and how ADT fits in.42:00 – PSA recurrence vs. actual risk of mortality45:00 – Patient anxiety and the psychological impact of PSA testing.47:00 – Exercise and lifestyle: evidence for improved survival.49:00 – Supplements, PSA manipulation, and misinformation.51:00 – How to choose a reputable radiation oncologist.56:00 – Evolving evidence: are radiation-related risks lower today?58:00 – Parting words: seeing prostate cancer as a chance for transformation.___________________________________
