Podcasts about Excellence

What does it take to think like a champion? This book will change how you think about SUCCESS — and your English. AJ's English Book Club starts "The Champion's Mind" by Jim Afremow. Champions don't just train their bodies. They train their MINDS. And that's exactly what this book teaches — the same mental skills used by Olympic athletes, pro sports stars, and peak performers in every field. And here's the connection: these mental skills are EXACTLY what you need to master English. Confidence. Visualization. A growth mindset. Feeding the positive wolf, not the negative one. This is the FUEL that powers your English speaking success. In this episode, we cover Chapters 1 and 2 — and I teach you important English vocabulary from the book along the way. You learn English AND you learn powerful success strategies at the same time. That's the Book Club way.

Leading Change Through Love and Excellence What if the most powerful leadership strategy wasn't control… but heart? In this unforgettable keynote, professional speaker and entrepreneur Hanna Bauer shares her extraordinary story as a childhood heart disease survivor, pioneering surgery patient, and visionary leader who turned adversity into purpose. Through powerful storytelling and practical leadership insights, Hanna introduces HEARTnomics — a transformational leadership philosophy built on five essential principles: Hope. Empowerment. Accountability. Results. Trust. Combined with her actionable BEAT Method, this keynote shows leaders how to turn challenge into momentum, uncertainty into opportunity, and vision into measurable impact. Scale Your Organization with Purpose, Power, and HEART. At HEARTnomics, we equip leaders and organizations with a transformational pathway to align vision, values, systems, and strategy—so they can grow with purpose, lead with excellence, and scale with heart. Because real success isn't just about scaling fast. It's about scaling right. Success Requires Scaling But when growth happens without alignment, the cost is bigger than missed momentum. You lose: • Time • Money • Energy • Team trust • And the relationships that drive lasting success. You don't need another strategy document. You need transformation. At HEARTnomics, we help leaders: ✔ Cast bold, clear vision ✔ Build high-trust cultures ✔ Lead meaningful change So organizations can scale with clarity, sustain momentum, and create impact that lasts. Because the future success of your business depends on the leadership you build today. What We Do Implementation Excellence Success isn't just about having the right ideas. It's about executing them with precision. HEARTnomics helps organizations integrate the right solutions, systems, and leadership practices that drive measurable growth. When strategy is implemented with intention and care, excellence becomes the foundation for: • Customer loyalty • Organizational growth • Sustainable performance Our programs are delivered through: ✔ In-person leadership experiences ✔ Virtual training and coaching ✔ Hybrid programs designed for modern organizations HEARTnomics Heart-centered leadership Transformational leadership keynote Leadership through love Leadership resilience Purpose-driven leadership Empowerment leadership Change leadership strategy Organizational transformation Leadership inspiration Motivational keynote speaker Leadership mindset Innovation leadership Culture-driven leadership High-performance leadership Leadership development keynote www.heartnomics.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/bauerhanna/ https://www.youtube.com/@heartnomics https://www.instagram.com/heartnomics/ https://www.facebook.com/hannad.bauer

Inspired by a recent guest instructor at NBSS, Jackson wanted to talk about paints and finishes. Richard has a great perspective because of his extensive paint experience. Brent points out that because of UV, there is a big difference in finishes in Texas vs Massachusetts.

Episode 503 of Relentless Health Value features Stacey Richter with Adam Stavisky, Dr. Leo Spector (OrthoCarolina), and Ryan Wells (Health Here) discussing how self-insured employers and specialists rarely connect directly due to intermediaries and fee-for-service "rails."  They outline three common pitfalls when bridging this gap: defining and measuring quality and appropriateness (limits of claims data and missing patient-reported outcomes), achieving scale across geographies and specialties, and ensuring benefit design and incentives so members actually use direct-contracting programs. The conversation frames the evolution of Centers of Excellence from 1.0 (travel to brand-name hospitals) to 2.0 (more local but administratively manual) to 3.0 (new infrastructure enabling direct, efficient contracting).  Health Here is described as a digital bridge to support payment and communication pathways and reduce administrative waste. === LINKS ===

Let me tell you about where to shift your focus and energy. I spent years believing that success requires perfection, and that we need to have it all figured out before taking a step. Here's the secret: you need to focus on excellence. I'm breaking down the differences between perfectionism and excellence today so you can start showing up. Taking those first steps can be uncomfortable, but that stretch is exactly where the growth happens. It's time to start making moves. In this episode, you will learn about: Why being "ready" is a lie, and how chasing perfection keeps you stuck. The many ways perfectionism is actually self-destructive and holds you back. What excellence looks like when it becomes a part of your life. How to build the practice of excellence so you can finally start showing up. How excellence redirects you towards continued improvement and capacity. What happens once you start taking imperfect action that might surprise you. What you can acknowledge right now that will help you focus on excellence.     Check out The Pink Skirt Project, happening July 9-10, 2026 in Kelowna, BC, Canada.   Want to get unstuck, feel more confident and surround yourself with women ready to help you climb?

If we abolish the family policing system, how do we respond to child sexual abuse? Abolition helps us create a world where all children are safe and supported by their communities. We're addressing the problem, not just sweeping it under the rug. We speak with award-winning journalist and author Roxanna Asgarian about her essay “Reclaiming Safety for Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse.” Roxanna explores how the current carceral response to child sexual harm—rooted in punishment, separation, and shame—fails survivors and perpetuates cycles of trauma. Together, we discuss what safety and accountability can look like outside of prisons, foster care, and family policing. Drawing from her reporting and lived experience, Roxanna invites us to imagine community-based pathways to healing that honor survivors, hold those who harm accountable, and build the conditions where safety is possible for everyone.About Our Guest: Roxanna Asgarian is a Texas-based journalist and the author of We Were Once a Family: A Story of Love, Death, and Child Removal in America, which won the 2023 National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction, the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction, and the L.A. Times Book Prize. Her reporting has appeared in The Washington Post, Texas Monthly, and New York Magazine. A survivor of child sexual harm, Roxanna has spent years covering stories at the intersections of child welfare, justice, and community care—centering the voices of those most impacted by family separation and systemic neglect.Episode Notes: Support the work of upEND: upendmovement.org/donateEpisode Transcript: upendmovement.org/podcast/episode303/ Read “Reclaiming Safety for Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse” by Roxanna Agarian. Connect with Roxanna's work at RoxannaAsgarianWrites.com and read her award-winning book, We Were Once a Family.Roxanna discusses Hidden Water Healing Circles and Freedom Community Center.Explore the Reclaiming Safety series: upendmovement.org/safetyCredits: Hosted by Josie Pickens and Jaison OliverProduced by Sydnie Dan'el MaresMixed by Imani Crosby

The Space Show Presents Trisha Epp. Sunday, 2-22-26Quick Summary:The Space Show hosted Trisha Epp, Director of Innovation at Freelancer.com, to discuss NASA's open innovation challenges and Freelancer's role in facilitating these competitions. Trisha explained how Freelancer works with NASA's Tournament Lab to run innovation challenges that attract solutions from around the world, with prize money awarded for successful ideas. The discussion covered the differences between Freelancer's approach and traditional government RFP processes, highlighting cost savings and broader participation as key advantages. Trisha shared that Freelancer has helped NASA achieve significant cost savings through their innovation challenges, with approximately 30-50 winners per year. The conversation also touched on the use of AI in submissions, ethical concerns around AI art, and potential expansion of these innovation methods beyond NASA to other industries.Detailed SummaryTrisha Epp, an innovation strategist based in Vancouver, discussed her work leading open innovation challenges for NASA, NIH, and other institutions through Freelancer.com's NASA Tournament Lab. She explained that Freelancer helps find engineers and carry out innovative projects, particularly those that fit within NASA's challenge section. The discussion also touched on potential future projects in space, such as 3D printing organs in space while David shared his personal interest in advancements in knee replacement technology derived from space tech.Trisha explained her role as Director of Innovation at Freelancer, where they work with NASA through the NASA Tournament Lab and Center of Excellence for Collaborative Innovation to explore open innovation solutions. She detailed how Freelancer facilitates innovation challenges where participants compete to solve specific NASA problems, with successful ideas being licensed to NASA and potentially leading to further development. Trisha mentioned that Freelancer is one of 25 vendors on NASA's Open Innovation Services 3 contract, specializing in finding global solutions, and shared a success story about a Norwegian engineer whose work on software testing for the Orion spacecraft will be used in the Artemis II mission.Trisha explained how NASA's Center of Excellence for Collaborative Innovation facilitates faster innovation through open competitions compared to traditional procurement processes. She detailed how Freelancer's platform helps connect solvers with NASA challenges, with typical prize pools of $100,000 and above, and described the evaluation process conducted by NASA engineers. Trisha also highlighted the diversity of participants, ranging from university students to professionals from various fields, and the motivation factors driving their involvement.Trisha discussed the challenges of treating rare diseases and the importance of developing effective delivery methods for treatments. She mentioned NASA's upcoming program to analyze data from astronauts on the Artemis II mission and a competition for innovative methodologies. David inquired about solutions for unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), but Trisha had not seen any official documentation on the topic. Trisha also shared her excitement about a global competition for designing a zero-gravity indicator for the Artemis II mission, which is still awaiting results. She expressed disappointment over NASA's decision not to publish winning designs from an art challenge due to the use of AI art, which she hoped would be addressed in the future.Trisha and David discussed the ethical concerns around AI, particularly regarding the use of artists' work without consent for training AI models. David shared that their website, thespacehow.com, was targeted by AI crawlers, leading to data loss and the implementation of Cloudflare for protection. Trisha mentioned her work on a program with ex-Microsoft AI professionals and the Department of Energy to develop a healthy human-AI interaction index. The discussion concluded with Trisha expressing interest in expanding their work beyond NASA to other industries, leveraging a methodology developed with NASA to tackle complex problems.Trisha explained that their innovation challenge methodology offers significant cost savings compared to traditional RFP processes, with only 1-10% of prize money paid out when solutions are not found, and highlighted their success in attracting new audiences and finding unexpected solutions. When discussing how to evaluate and compare different methodologies like NIAC's, Trisha suggested looking at metrics such as outreach and the number of people reached, while Philip noted that NIAC aims to find transformative ideas that could disrupt existing ways of doing things, though he questioned whether their published results truly meet this goal.Toward the end of the program we discussed NASA's grant program structure and competition model, where successful proposals receive direct awards rather than requiring deliverables. Trisha explained that NASA typically awards 30-50 winners per year across various programs, with winners receiving funds to scale up their work without strings attached. The participants explored the concept of independent oversight for proposal selection processes and discussed upcoming challenges, with Trisha sharing resources including NASA's COECI opportunities website.Special thanks to our sponsors:American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223 (Not in service at this time)For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

Portland Book Festival has been a proud partner of the National Book Foundation Presents program for many years now, and at the 2025 festival we featured a program called “The Cost of Hope,” moderated by National Book Foundation executive director Ruth Dickey, and featuring 2024 National Book Award in Nonfiction winner Jason De Leon, author of Soldiers and Kings: Survival and Hope in the World of Human Smuggling, and 2025 National Book Award finalist in Fiction Megha Majumdar, author of A Guardian and a Thief. The intersections between Jason's book, in which he embeds with a group of smugglers moving migrants across Mexico over the course of seven years, and Megha's novel, about two families in a climate-ravaged near-future Kolkata, are abundant. In fact, the two authors share a background in anthropology, and talk about how that education has shaped the way they interpret the world. Their wide-ranging conversation starts with a discussion of how hope can be “snarling and aggressive,” and idea of hope as a refusal to back down. They also talk about the ways both of their stories connect climate change and migration, and how inescapable that connection is. In different ways; for Jason, through reporting, and for Megha, through fiction, both books are able to interrogate huge systems through the individual lives, making these incomprehensible forces in the world legible by finding the storytelling. This is a conversation between two artists thinking deeply about some of the most pressing issues of the day, and approaching them from places of care and, indeed, ultimately, from places of hope.

Dans cette première partie, on remonte aux origines du parcours de Justine Audoin, cheffe aux projets multiples, qui vient de prendre la carte du restaurant Chez Clo à Paris.Elle raconte d'abord sa cuisine telle qu'elle la pense aujourd'hui : végétale, marine, construite comme un parfum, avec des notes de cœur, des notes de fond, du relief. Une cuisine du produit entier, du zéro déchet, des condiments qui font le relief de l'assiette. Mais aussi une cuisine qui sait s'adapter, au lieu, à l'équipe, à la clientèle, sans jamais se trahir.Pour comprendre d'où vient cette sensibilité, il faut remonter au Lot-et-Garonne. Une enfance dans le Sud-Ouest, un potager, un père qui va chercher ses produits chez le fromager et le boucher, une mère qui cuisine. La table comme rituel discret, et déjà, très tôt, l'envie de mettre la main à la pâte.Mais la cuisine ne s'impose pas comme évidence professionnelle. Justine est bonne élève, curieuse de tout, attirée par la médecine, le droit, l'art. Elle se retrouve en fac de droit à Bordeaux, cuisine pour ses amis, reçoit, sans jamais faire le lien avec un métier possible. Elle veut devenir commissaire-priseur, un compromis entre un métier valorisant et le côté créatif.Cette première partie pose les bases d'un parcours construit en dehors des voies tracées.

We spoke with Dr. Sarah Fischer, Associate Professor of Literacy Education, and Dr. Kerry Hasler-Brooks, Associate Professor of English and Chair of the Department of Language, Literature, and Writing, about Pennsylvania’s new law requiring cursive handwriting instruction in schools. The conversation explored how cursive connects students to historical documents and deepens their ability to read and interpret primary texts, while also encouraging slower, more reflective thinking in a fast-paced digital age. The professors also discussed the role cursive plays in elementary literacy development, including its impact on cognitive growth, fine motor skills, and reading fluency. Together, they highlighted how handwriting is more than a nostalgic practice — it’s a meaningful bridge between history, literacy, and critical thinking in contemporary education. Also on the program The YWCA Greater Harrisburg is pleased to announce the honorees for their 37th Annual Tribute to Women of Excellence, all of whom will be celebrated at an event on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. at the Hershey Lodge and Convention Center.

What does it actually mean to pursue excellence without losing your peace, your family, or yourself in the process?   In this episode, I sit down with New York Times bestselling author Brad Stulberg to unpack the tension so many driven men feel: the desire to achieve at a high level while still living a meaningful and grounded life. Brad shares insights from his book The Way of Excellence and explains why humans are wired to strive — but not necessarily wired to feel content once we achieve.   We dive into the trap many high-performing men fall into: constantly chasing the next milestone, promotion, or accomplishment while never feeling satisfied. Brad also shares powerful insights for fathers on how to help their kids develop a healthy relationship with effort, competition, and self-worth. If you're a driven man who struggles to slow down and enjoy the journey — or you want to raise kids who value effort and character over outcomes — this conversation will challenge how you think about success.   Timeline Summary   [0:00] Introducing Brad Stulberg and the idea behind The Way of Excellence [2:29] Why humans are wired to strive but not wired for contentment [8:57] The trap of "heroic individualism" and chasing achievement [11:04] Why success alone often leaves people feeling empty [20:08] The mountain metaphor for achievement and fulfillment [26:04] The importance of pausing to appreciate the journey [29:00] Helping kids avoid tying self-worth to results [34:46] Why youth sports should focus on development over winning [41:01] Separating identity from performance [48:55] The real goal of youth sports: helping kids want to play again next year     Five Key Takeaways Humans are wired to strive, which means the next achievement rarely brings lasting satisfaction. True excellence is about pursuing something worthwhile that aligns with your values. Focusing only on outcomes causes us to miss the meaning of the journey. Kids need to learn that effort and growth matter more than results. Fulfillment comes from aligning ambition with presence, purpose, and values.   Links & Resources The Way of Excellence (Book): https://www.amazon.com/Way-Excellence-Greatness-Satisfaction-Chaotic/dp/0063385945 Roommates to Soulmates Preview: https://thedadedge.com/soulmates Episode Link & Resources (Episode 1448): https://thedadedge.com/1448   Closing If you're a driven man constantly chasing the next milestone, this episode is a reminder to pause and ask yourself an important question: What does excellence actually mean for my life?   Success without alignment will always feel empty.

In this episode of Endo Voices, Dr. Marcus D. Johnson sits down with Dr. Pierre Wohlgemuth for a thoughtful and collegial examination of two defining challenges in contemporary endodontics: the elusive cemental tear and the disciplined art of soft tissue management in surgical care.Cemental tears—seldom discussed yet likely underdiagnosed—often masquerade as endodontic or periodontal pathology. With a limited but growing body of evidence, accurate identification demands clinical vigilance. Key red flags include vital teeth presenting with periapical radiolucencies and persistent disease following technically adequate root canal therapy. The discussion explores the roles of occlusal trauma, CBCT interpretation, and histologic confirmation, reinforcing the importance of expanding the differential diagnosis before defaulting to retreatment or extraction. Decisions surrounding tooth preservation versus implant placement are framed not as reflexive, but as biologically and prognostically driven.A central theme resonates throughout: clinicians do not rise to the level of their intentions—they fall to the level of their training.Episodes of Endo Voices may include opinion, speculation and other statements not verifiable in the scientific method and do not necessarily reflect the views of AAE or the sponsor(s).

The number of law enforcement professionals nationwide who died on duty in 2025 decreased 25 percent compared to the same time period in 2024, according to preliminary data provided by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF). The NLEOMF data shows that 111 federal, state, county, municipal, and U.S. Territories officers died in the line of duty in 2025, compared to the 148 officers who died in 2024. The 111 line-of-duty deaths in 2025 represents a near-historic low. The last time annual officer fatalities were at a comparable level was in 1943, when 94 officers were killed in the line of duty.In this episode, Scott visits with Risk Pool Law Enforcement Consultants Chase Stapp and Joseph Florance, about the reduction.

This inaugural episode of the CardioNerds Pulmonary Embolism (PE) Series explores the evolution of acute PE care. Dr. Ibrahim Zahid, Dr. Dinu Balanescu, and Dr. Billy Joe Mullinax join guest expert Dr. Kenneth Rosenfield to discuss the shifting landscape of PE management. Pulmonary embolism (PE) remains a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality and a frequent diagnostic challenge, often masquerading as myocardial infarction or a benign illness. Over the past decade, PE care has evolved from anticoagulation-only strategies to nuanced, risk-stratified, multidisciplinary management. Modern approaches integrate hemodynamics, biomarkers, and advanced imaging to guide therapy, including catheter-directed interventions and large-bore thrombectomy. The Pulmonary Embolism Response Team (PERT) model addresses historical gaps by coordinating rapid, multispecialty decision-making and standardizing care pathways. The PERT Consortium further advances PE care through education, research, and the world's largest PE registry, while fostering leadership and research opportunities for trainees. Despite advances, long-term outcomes and post-PE syndromes remain important areas for future investigation. Audio editing by CardioNerds Academy intern, student doctor, Pace Wetstein.

Pearls PE is a “master masquerader”—maintain suspicion for atypical presentations like myocardial infarction, heart failure, flu, or anxiety. Multidisciplinary management mediated through pulmonary embolism response teams improves outcomes and standardizes care. Risk stratification integrates hemodynamics, biomarkers, and imaging. Advanced therapies have expanded beyond anticoagulation. Long‑term follow‑up and post‑PE syndrome need more research. Notes Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Ibrahim Zahid. 1. How has the clinical approach to PE changed over the past decade? PE is the third leading cause of cardiovascular death and historically under‑recognized. Symptoms mimic MI, HF, asthma, syncope, and more.PE is a silent killer, and it should be recognized more as a cause of spontaneous cardiac arrest. Where life threatening disease like stroke which is owned by neurological specialists and MI is primarily managed by cardiac specialists, PE is an entity without a professional home. The PERT Consortium brings the specialties together for PE care. 2. Ten years ago, a 58-year-old patient with a large bilateral PE, RV dilation, and positive biomarkers might have been managed with anticoagulation and close observation alone. Today, with evolving—but still uneven—data on advanced therapies, PE care feels far more nuanced and highly dependent on where you practice. What are the major gaps in traditional PE management that clinicians should recognize, and what care pathways should they be aware of across different hospital systems? Care has shifted from anticoagulation‑only to multidisciplinary approaches like catheter directed thrombectomy. Risk‑based pathways and the use of CT angiogram has improved early recognition. Risk stratification tools must be used as tools for early recognition of intermediate risk PE. Untreated PE leads to chronic complications like chronic thromboembolic disease and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, which requires long term clinic follow up. 3. What is the role of risk stratification tools such as PeSI, sPeSI scores, cardiac biomarkers, and imaging findings in PE, and how do they guide treatment decisions in real world practice? Integrate vitals (blood pressure and heart rate), biomarkers (troponin, pro-BNP), RV/LV ratio assessment, acid‑base status, and scores. Tools include PESI, sPESI, BOVA, HESTIA, FAST, Geneva, NEWS, shock index. Vitals, lactate, acid-base status, and tools like NEWS or shock index track clinical evolution. PESI/sPESI estimate 30-day mortality and help identify low-risk patients who may be candidates for early discharge or outpatient therapy. Clinical judgment matters—scores don't fully capture clot burden, trajectory, or bleeding risk. 4. How was the pulmonary embolism response team created, and since its creation, what evidence or outcome data became available to support the PERT model? Originated after a sentinel case at MGH: A young, pregnant woman in her 30s, who collapsed at home, underwent thrombectomy, and had to be on ECMO for a few days. The case brought cardiology, cardiac surgeons and critical care physicians together for planning and improvement in her health, which was rewarding. Thereby, it was decided to bring specialties involved in PE care together to create a response team. The name of the team, Pulmonary Embolism Response Team (PERT), was coined by Richard Channick in the first meeting. Posters were set up all over the hospital to call a centralized line when an acute PE is recognized A meeting was held to present the concept of putting together a consortium, with development of action items and a PERT database. Enabled rapid multidisciplinary input using early teleconferencing tools. 5. Given concerns about having too many ‘cooks in the kitchen' during the initial PE call—especially with rotating teams—how can institutions reconcile workflow complexity with standardized pathways in a way that meaningfully supports and justifies the added burden on frontline clinicians? Every hospital's PERT is different, catering to their needs and workflow At least two disciplines are needed to make a PERTData is currently being collected to guide further on how the workflow can be standardized Most importantly, the team brings in resources that were not available prior to PERT formation. 6. What are the main goals of the PERT consortium, and how does it support clinicians and institutions involved? To improve care and improve outcomes for patients with PE Expand education, refine algorithms, standardize care with Centers of Excellence. Maintain the largest PE registry for research and outcomes improvement. 7. Beyond global networking, shared learning from successful systems, and the pathway toward Center of Excellence designation, what additional benefits can clinicians and health systems gain by participating in the PERT Consortium? The ability to learn from other systems, the ability to share experiences. Allow people to develop their professional careers like leadership experience, becoming a member of the trainee council Initiate projects and receive funding for your ideas 8. For trainees interested in pulmonary embolism care, how can a trainee be a champion at their institution? Does PERT provide assistance and how can they really contribute meaningfully even before becoming a fellow/attending? Medical students and residents interested in PE should reach out to the consortium and the consortium will hook you up with the correct mentors who can nurture you along. Listen to the podcasts. Participate with your local PERT team PERT wants involvement of people who are social media savvy to help spread the word on PE. Top three take-away points from this episode Acute PE care has advanced and multiple treatment modalities for acute PE including catheter directed therapy, large bore thrombectomy, are becoming standard of care. Multidisciplinary models like PERT improve coordination and outcomes.

You've lived in moments where one emotional decision can cost you a stack of chips… or three strokes in 90 seconds. And that's why this conversation with Alex Huang hits so hard. Alex breaks down how poker "tilt" and golf blow-up holes are the same problem in different clothing: impulsivity, entitlement, and emotion hijacking decision-making. We talk long-run thinking, why variance (aka luck) doesn't excuse bad process, and how numbers can act like "bowling bumpers" that keep you from derailing when your expectations outpace reality. You'll also hear Alex's best frameworks for talking players off the ledge after a mistake, why elite players obsess over reflection (even after shooting low), and the single message he'd put on a billboard every golfer would see: process, not results. In this episode, you'll learn: Why impulsivity in golf is just "tilt" with a scorecard How to think in "the long run" so one hole doesn't define your round How variance + luck can still coexist with elite decision-making Why 15-foot putts deserve realistic expectations (and calmer emotions) How data creates objectivity without crushing feel-based players Where ego and entitlement bleed strokes (especially par 5s + short par 4s) How elite players reflect, catalog "feels," and build resilient performance Get your pencils ready and start listening.  Apply for 1-1 High-Performance Hypnotherapy and Mindset Coaching: Click here to apply to work with me.

The long-run mindset protects you from chasing: one bad swing doesn't require a heroic response. Variance is real: a good decision can produce a bad outcome (divots, bounces, gusts) and still be the right play. Numbers act like bowling bumpers—keeping you from going so aggressive you create doubles and triples. "Should" is a red-flag word: entitlement (par 5s, wedges, short par 4s) is where blow-ups are born. When emotions spike, win the next moment: get hyper-specific on the target and stack micro-wins (GIR, 10% rule, speed). Elite players invest in reflection and documentation—especially when playing well—so they can return to what works faster. Key Quotes: "One catastrophic decision or one downward spiral where you're kind of chasing a previously bad decision — as we used in poker the term tilt — that can lead to your demise. You blink, you make a triple bogey because you got a bit greedy or a bit thoughtless or reckless with the strategy." "Just because you lost your pot going all in with aces pre-flop does not mean in hindsight you now look back and say, I should have folded. Much the same way with golf… you pick a good target, you make a committed swing… maybe you get unlucky and you wind up in a divot." "If I gave you a full deck of cards and I asked you to draw a diamond out of it and you drew a spade, would you be ticked off? No, right. But then how many times have they stood over a 14 or 15 foot putt upset that they didn't make it?" "You can't control where your shot ends up within its shot pattern. You can't control the bounces you're going to get. But what you can control is making a committed swing at your target and dealing with the results."

Romance is being reclaimed at a moment when culture feels rushed, transactional, and increasingly disconnected. As social media accelerates trends and weddings risk becoming aesthetic checklists, many couples are left wondering whether they're planning a meaningful experience or performing one.

#311 If you've been drinking the water, eating the fibre, taking the  magnesium and prebiotics — and you're still constipated — this episode is for you. Chronic constipation is rarely just a lifestyle problem. In most cases, there is a deeper, physiological root cause that hasn't been properly investigated. In this solo episode, Lynda walks you through five of the most commonly missed drivers of chronic constipation, what the research says, and why getting the right investigation changes everything. You'll discover: - Why do methane-producing gut organisms (IMO) physically slow down your bowel movement — and why fibre and resistant starch can make it worse - Dyssynergic defecation — when your pelvic floor tightens instead of releasing - Secondary medical causes that are frequently overlooked, including thyroid dysfunction and medications - What advanced microbiome testing reveals that standard tests simply miss - How chronic stress, nervous system dysregulation, and trauma keep you stuck - Why chronic constipation has been linked to cognitive decline and can precede Parkinson's disease motor symptoms by 20 or more years If you've been at this for a long time without answers, this episode  was made for you.

What if the thing standing between you and your best business year has nothing to do with your strategy, your niche, or your packages?What if it's five simple daily habits that take less than an hour total, and most service providers are skipping them completely?I ran a 30-day Standards of Excellence Challenge inside Strategist Society at the start of 2026, and y'all, the results completely blew my mind. Students went from zero clients to three clients in 30 days. Others booked their first VIP days. Some revived contracts they thought were dead in the water. And all of it came from five non-negotiable daily habits.I've been doing these habits for two years. I know the Strategist Society members who do them consistently get the best results. But this was the first time we'd ever run a 30-day challenge around them, and now I'm taking you behind the scenes so you can implement them too.These are the Standards of Excellence, and today I'm breaking down all five.In this episode:The episode teaches five simple daily habits (“Standards of Excellence”) that improve mindset, consistency, and business growth.Consistent daily actions matter more than complicated strategies for building a successful business.Daily client conversations and outreach are the primary drivers of predictable revenue growth.Repeating small habits creates identity and mindset shifts that help business owners show up more confidently.Sustainable habits designed for busy service providers produce long-term momentum without burnout.Resources & Links:Ready to scale past $10K months?

Send a textPass the smelling salts! Readers of the Victorian Era eagerly (or furtively) set scruples aside to read Mary Elizabeth Braddon's 1862 sensation novel Lady Audley's Secret — the title of which was enough to tempt even the most puritanical schoolmarm into sneaking a peak. But it was Braddon's sumptuous prose, eye for drama and sophisticated understanding of social mores which won her the admiration of contemporaries like William Makepiece Thackery, Alfred Lord Tennyson and Robert Louis Stevenson. Booklist reviewer and television writer Kristine Huntley joins us this week to discuss Braddon's remarkable prowess in navigating scandalous secrets … including her own!Mentioned in this episode:2026 Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence in Fiction and Nonfiction shortlist and longlistBooklistLady Audley's Secret by Mary Elizabeth Braddon“Abducted by my Teacher” Lifetime movie“Freakish” on Hulu“Mind Games” on ABC“Two Sentence Horror Stories” on the CWThe real case that partially inspired Lady Audley's SecretJohn MaxwellAurora Floyd by Mary Elizabeth BraddonThe Woman in White by Wilkie CollinsThe Doctor's Wife by Mary Elizabeth BraddonThe Trail of the Serpent by Mary Elizabeth BraddonThree Times Dead by Mary Elizabeth BraddonDaniel Deronda by George EliotLost Ladies of Lit Episode No. 268 on Rosalind AsheSupport the showFor episodes and show notes, visit: LostLadiesofLit.comSubscribe to our substack newsletter.

There's a persistent anxiety among Christian business owners that revolves around an unease about profit. There's a need to justify their work by tacking on something more "spiritual." As if business itself weren't enough. As if serving customers profitably required moral laundering to be acceptable before God. That anxiety reveals a theology problem. And until we fix the theology, we'll keep misunderstanding what Christian excellence in business actually means.

A brilliant pre-med student. 521 MCAT — 98th percentile. 4.0 GPA. Published research. Primary author. Rejected by ten medical schools. If that résumé isn't good enough, what is?On The Real Story, I examine how Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies are reshaping medical school admissions. Across the country, schools describe “holistic review,” equity mandates, and diversity goals as central to their mission. Academic metrics are no longer the primary standard and that merit is being subordinated to ideology.We break down AAMC data, LCME accreditation shifts, pass/fail grading trends, and looming physician shortages. Medicine is not a sociology lab. When you're on an operating table, credentials matter. Excellence is not negotiable.
