Podcasts about excessive

Excessive consumption is one of the leading killers of the world, and it is further empowered by greedy capitalism. Ali Horriyat leads the charge in transforming today's profit-driven world and fostering a more compassionate society. He joins Corinna Bellizzi once again to talk about his non-profit organization Compassiviste and his book “Beyond Greed.” He explores the concept of Transformation by Investment (TBI) and how it can lead to long-term societal well-being. Ali also discusses the differences between greed and selfishness, how to assess your own consumption habits, and how profit-driven businesses can learn to prioritize building a more humane economy.About Guest:Compassiviste's Founder Ali Horriyat left the lucrative, profit-driven world of finance in 2016, donating his wealth, to devote himself to his vision of a society where compassion, empathy, and social impact are at the heart of our actions. In 2020, he launched Compassiviste to spread this vision. Born in Dubai, he attended schools in the UAE, France, and Switzerland before pursuing his higher education in Canada and the USA. He holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in economics, political science, philosophy, business, international relations and conflict resolution, and religion. Ali is the author of 25 books, including short stories, collections of essays, and poetry, with themes ranging from racism and capitalism to spirituality, music, and compassion. He believes that humans must “love always, and always love.”Guest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/compassiviste/Guest Website: https://compassiviste.comGuest Social: https://www.youtube.com/@CompassivisteDialogueshttps://www.tiktok.com/@compassivistehttps://www.instagram.com/compassivistehttps://www.facebook.com/CompassivisteOfficial/https://open.substack.com/pub/compassivistehttps://x.com/compassivisteJOIN OUR CIRCLE.

The Value of Solitude: Insights from Sha'ar Cheshbon HaNefesh Welcome to a special series from Sha'ar Cheshbon HaNefesh , where we explore 30 introspections over 30 days. Our focus today, on day 17, is inspired by a common social scenario: you're enjoying a get-together with friends and feel the need to pause and reflect. In our current social landscape, there's often a conflict between the excitement of being with people and the benefits of being alone. While certain situations require us to be social—such as fulfilling social norms or building friendships—this introspection addresses what happens when our social interactions become excessive. Drawbacks of Excessive Socializing When a person's soul "leans" toward being with people and finding enjoyment in their company, it can become an all-consuming pursuit. The author of Sha'ar Cheshbon HaNefesh outlines 13 negative consequences that can arise from excessive socializing. Let's explore a few of the key issues: Excessive and Empty Talk: This includes endless chatter, gossip, and babbling. As the verse in Proverbs states, " In a multitude of words, sin will not cease, but one who holds back his lips is wise ." A Breeding Ground for Negative Traits: Social settings can lead to speaking negatively about others, lying, and swearing falsely. They also present opportunities for arrogance, scoffing, insulting, and general levity . This can create a lack of yirat Hashem (fear of God) and an unhealthy pursuit of honor, leading to misrepresenting oneself just to project a certain image. The Responsibility of Rebuke: Being in a group of people comes with the responsibility to offer rebuke when necessary, a mitzvah (commandment) from the Torah: " You must surely rebuke your friend. " The author identifies three forms of rebuke: Physical action: The most extreme form, like the actions of Pinchas. Verbal protest: Using words to protest wrongdoing, as Moshe Rabbeinu did with Daton and Aviram. Protest in your heart: Even if you cannot speak out, you must internally object to the negative behavior. This is a difficult responsibility to fulfill, and by being alone, a person is freed from it. Loss of Good Judgment: When surrounded by people, a person's ability to think clearly and make good decisions can suffer. We can also adopt the negative traits of others, as the verse says, " One who herds with fools will become wicked ." Ultimately, the author asserts that most sins happen among people. It "takes two to tango," whether it's sins of promiscuity, business fraud, or false testimony. The mouth, in particular, often requires a listener. The Power of Solitude The antidote to these negatives is solitude. The author calls it "one of the most powerful things that leads to good midot " (character traits). A wise person once said, "The pillar of a pure heart is the love of seclusion." In our current era of social media, where our self-worth is often tied to external validation—likes, emojis, and reactions, the idea of being alone can feel unnatural. However, as the text emphasizes, solitude is crucial for spiritual and even mental well-being because it helps us develop an inner world. We can see this principle in the lives of our greatest religious figures: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, King David, and Moshe Rabbeinu were all shepherds. They were shepherds precisely because it gave them time alone, a period of isolation essential for personal and spiritual development. Being alone allows us to be in touch with ourselves and foster self-awareness. The Exception: Spending Time with the Wise Does this mean we should avoid all social interaction, even with talmidei chachamim (Torah scholars) and wise people? The author argues that this is a mistake. Being with righteous individuals is not a distraction but a form of "ultimate aloneness." You gain tremendous qualities from them—qualities that can be even more beneficial than being alone. As it says in Proverbs, " One who walks with the wise will become wise. " While some people avoid being with the wise to escape rebuke, the Mishnah in Pirkei Avot instructs us: "Let your house be a gathering place for the wise." This type of interaction is a constructive and valuable use of time. As the verse says, " Then those who feared God spoke to one another, and God listened ."

Hot enough for ya? Guest Sebastian Negrusa Ph.D. is a researcher at the Workers' Compensation Research Institute (WCRI) and the co-author of the recent WCRI study “Impact of Excessive Heat on the Frequency of Work-Related Injuries.” What role does excessive heat in the workplace play in employee injuries? Turns out, it's a lot. In temperatures of more than 90 degrees, the risk of injury on the job increases by a significant 5%-6%. Excessive heat, the study finds, impairs both cognitive and physical abilities, leaving workers more likely to make mental and physical errors and suffer injuries at work.  Part of an employer's duty is to prevent injuries at the workplace, and Negrusa's study aims to help employers better understand the added risk in high-temperature environments. Some states and the federal government are currently looking at workplace heat standards and safeguards.  Hear what occupations and employee groups are most vulnerable to these stressors and how employers can protect workers on the job (and what Workers' Comp attorneys need to look for when representing injured workers).  If you have thoughts on Workers' Comp law or an idea for a topic or guest you'd like to hear, contact us at JPierce@ppnlaw.com or APierce@ppnlaw.com.  Mentioned in This Episode “Impact of Excessive Heat on the Frequency of Work-Related Injuries,” WCRI, by Sebastian Negrusa, Olesya Fomenko, Vennela Thumula “Heat-Related Illnesses in the Workplace—A WCRI FlashReport,” WCRI, by Vennela Thumula, Olesya Fomenko “Florida Blocks Heat Protections for Workers Right Before Summer,” NPR “‘It's Getting Hotter': Bill Aims to Implement Strategies to Protect Outdoor Workers in High Temps,” Boston 25 News Learn more about your ad choices.

The Famine of 1932–1933 in Ukraine: An Anatomy of the Holodomor (CIUS Press, 2018) is a distillation of thirty years of study of the topic by one of Ukraine's leading historians. In this account, Stanislav Kulchytsky ably incorporates a vast array of sources and literature that have become available in the past three decades into a highly readable narrative, explaining the motives, circumstances and course of this terrible crime against humanity. As the author shows, the Holodomor was triggered by the Bolshevik effort to build a communist socioeconomic order in the Soviet Union. For the peasant majority of the population, this meant the forcible collectivization of individual farms, the seizure of livestock and farm implements, and the conversion of independent farmers into agricultural laborers. Excessive requisitioning of grain and other foodstuffs in the collectivization drive led to famine and deaths in grain-producing regions of the USSR by early 1932. In Ukraine, punitive measures authorized by the Kremlin's top leadership greatly worsened the famine in late 1932 and turned it into the Holodomor, which claimed more than three million lives in the first half of 1933. Identifying key events and decisions that produced the Holodomor, Kulchytsky analyzes economic and political factors, including the national dimension in Ukraine. The book begins with the author's address to the reader, presenting his view of the Holodomor as genocide. In addition to the main text, the volume includes a preface, afterword, glossary, list of abbreviations and acronyms, bibliography, and a short essay on the author and his writings. The Famine of 1932-1933 in Ukraine: An Anatomy of the Holodomor was prepared for publication by the Holodomor Research and Education Consortium (HREC) of the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies, Faculty of Arts, University of Alberta. HREC undertook the translation of Stanislav Kulchytsky's monograph Ukraïns'kyi holodomor v konteksti polityky Kremlia pochatku 1930 rr. as part of its efforts to make available in English seminal works by Ukrainian scholars of the Holodomor.

What if eating sugar could actually help you burn fat, sleep better, and transform your body after 40?   In this explosive episode of The Super Human Life, Coach Frank sits down with fitness legend Shaun Hadsall, better known as The Ripped Grandpa, to break down the truth behind The Sugar Diet, a controversial but powerful nutritional strategy that's blowing up in the fitness world.   Shaun shares the science behind how sugar (yes, sugar) can be strategically used to ignite fat loss, boost metabolism, and support muscle retention, especially for men in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. The conversation dives deep into the real cause of obesity, the hormone FGF21, and how sugar, when isolated from fat and protein, can actually heal your metabolism instead of destroy it.   If you've tried keto, low-carb, or intermittent fasting and still feel stuck... this episode will completely rewire how you think about food, discipline, and fat loss.   Frank also shares his personal results using The Sugar Diet, including improvements in energy, fat loss, and sleep, without restriction or burnout.

If you are a learner driver in Clare, then you could be waiting for quite some time to sit your driving test. Figures provided to Bodyke Fine Gael TD Joe Cooney show that average waiting times for Category B car test invitations increased at all three driving test centres in Clare between June 2024 and June of this year. In Ennis, waiting times rose from 14 weeks to 21 weeks. In Shannon, the average increased from 12 weeks to 17 weeks. In Kilrush, it went from 13 weeks to 14 weeks. A total of 600 driving tests were carried out across the county during this period, which means an additional 469 tests could have been carried out on missed operating days. Deputy Cooney believes that learner drivers in Clare are being short-changed. For more on this, Alan Morrissey was joiend by Chris Curran, Driving instructor, Chris Curran Coaching in Ennis and Joe Cooney, Bodyke Fine Gael TD.

This conversation delves into the complex legal framework surrounding self-defense, exploring when the use of force is justified, the nuances of reasonable versus excessive force, and the critical distinctions between non-deadly and deadly force. It also addresses the duty to retreat, common misconceptions, and the practical realities of self-defense situations, emphasizing the importance of understanding both legal theory and real-world dynamics for law students and legal professionals.TakeawaysSelf-defense is a fundamental right recognized in the U.S.The use of force must be reasonable and necessary under the circumstances.Self-defense is classified as an affirmative defense, shifting the burden to the defendant.Excessive force can turn a justified act into a criminal offense.The duty to retreat varies by jurisdiction, with some states adopting stand your ground laws.Understanding the difference between non-deadly and deadly force is crucial for legal analysis.Practical realities, such as size and strength, affect the perception of threat and reasonableness.Misconceptions about self-defense can derail legal claims.Weapons introduce complexities in self-defense situations, requiring careful consideration of legality and necessity.Self-defense law requires a deep understanding of both legal principles and human behavior.

Don't you just love an insane scheme by the Master? Especially when it involves disguising himself as a horrendous racial stereotype when he has no reason to be in disguise at all? Oh, and we have some wonderful product placement for Heathrow Airport and Concorde. And this story is *somehow* the Season 19 finale. That's right -we're talking about Time-Flight!   Join us as we discuss the brown-ness of the 1980s, whether the episode takes place in the Jurassic or Pleistocene era (it's the former – Reilly's right, Anthony's wrong), why the Master feels the need to disguise himself, the TARDIS repair hour, and the rather questionable behaviour and motives of the Professor. Anthony finds a way to sneak in some Tinie Tempah lyrics without a single other member of the cast noticing. Typical.   If you would like to watch along with us, you can find the this oddity available for streaming on Britbox in the USA (http://www.britbox.com) and BBC iPlayer in the UK (https://bbc.in/48GSaCB).

JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speakingFOR THIS WEEK'S ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING PODCAST WHICH DROPS AUGUST 8! We discuss how this August 9 Aquarius Full Moon reflects the light of the Leo Sun back onto itself, thus exposing its shadow side: Excessive pride & arrogance. The Aquarius Moon—when it arrives at exactly 17-degrees of Sun-ruled Leo at 12:55 a.m. PT & 3:55 a.m. ET on August 9--then asks the Leo Sun to release any hubristic tendencies to act like a powerful but selfish & uncaring king.This lunation's square to Juno in Scorpio mirrors back to us the tension  of the current power struggle over whether America is still based on a partnership between its government--created originally by & for the people--or a monarchy under the rule of a tyrannical king. This lunation makes clear we're still under the recurrence of energies of the U.S. natal Sibly birth chart's Pluto return, begun in February 2022, that kicked off its original quest for independence. And that we've got a long way still to go, but that if we band together against such uncaring energies which disrespect our right to individual freedoms, only then can we save our nation from reverting to its original roots before its creation, that of an selfish & unstable monarch.This week's podcast recaps the Astro News You Can Use from the beginning of this month's lunar cycle on July 24--because only by looking back can we know how we've arrived at where we are today, which, in turn, helps us better plan our future. We look at the deeper meaning of the current Leo New Moon's monthly lunar cycle, which asked us to plant seeds that honor our individual, creative, solar selves on July 24. Next, we note how its opposition then to Pluto in Aquarius portended power struggles, & how it has manifested thus far. Especially as we waxed past the Sun/Mercury retrograde inferior conjunction of July 31, the first quarter monthly “crisis in action” waxing square of the Scorpio Moon to the Leo Sun, & the delusional square of Venus to Neptune & the dissatisfying one to Saturn August 1 & 2.We note the many announcements made since this Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction—starting with Donald Trump's firing of the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor & Statistics on August 1. Such a move, on the heels of the Venus squares to Saturn & Neptune, reeked of a king who chose to kill the messenger rather than pay attention to the actual message, without a care for his partners.This, in turn, leads to the inability of Americans to trust the data coming out of its formerly trustworthy government agencies in charge of such economic statistical analyses. More examples in this podcast!And that leads us to other August 1 announcements such as the one from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting that it will shut down next year. Then there's the news that convicted sex trafficker & pedophile Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a “Club Fed” prison after her recent meetings with the U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Trump's former criminal attorney in 2024 when Trump was convicted in the NY Stormy Daniels hush money case. What's becoming clear now also since Uranus entered Gemini on July 7 is the public's change in perspective. That means a change in opinion, as the Trump/Epstein scandal becomes the monster that just won't die. Meanwhile those formerly supportive of Trump begin to turn against him as they hope against hope that he will adjust his grip & “release the Epstein files” as Venus quincunxed Pluto August 1 & 2, too.That this is symbolic of the energy of tomorrow's Aquarius Full Moon square Juno in Scorpio, as Mars opposes both Saturn & Neptune August 8/9 & creates a huge amount of frustration & a sense of impotence a la “but what can I do about any of this?”It's clear that under the SA/NE in Aries energies that boundaries continue to erode. From those between the federal government & the people it's supposed to represent; the boundaries between federal & state governance; & those between our military—designed to fight an external enemy—who invade our local borders & our city's streets. This becomes even more obvious since the FBI has now been tasked by King Trump to hunt down Texas democratic state legislators who refuse to vote for gerrymandered maps that further curtail the right of Black & brown people to equal representation when it comes to voting. Never mind if it's legal to use federal FBI law enforcement resources this way…The ultimate message of this Aquarius Full Moon, however, is that when we stand together as a group & face the bully, there's ultimately more power in numbers than in that of a weak, narcissistic wannabe king. Together we stand, divided we fall would be this month's full Moon message--& that we cannot succeed if we do not even try.Hence, as America government becomes increasingly autocratic, it becomes ever more evident that the only way to stop this is to band together to fight the authoritarian powers that be. Whether that ultimately means masses of people protesting together to get their message across, or worse, is yet to be determined. What's clear is that now is not the time to back down.However, it's fine to take a break, especially from social media—much of which under Uranus in Gemini is filled with propagandist BS, even from the left--& withdraw, for a little while. Strengthening our critical thinking skills is what's it's all about over the next seven years as Uranus in Mercury provides the ability for sudden revelatory insights as information becomes more a tool of distortion than one of fact. In the short term, as Mercury stations direct in Leo on August 11, we have the ability to regroup, observe & begin to pay attention. As more people become increasingly aware of what's going on around them, more will join the fight. And what's most worth paying attention to, according to this Aquarius Full Moon is that none of us is alone in this obvious astrological recurrence of the quest for American independence from tyranny IF we all stick together.Join us starting August 8 @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking to hear more astrological details that further illustrate how Americans are being disenfranchised around the world as former trade partners change their perspectives of what America truly is: A friend or an enemy given the current trade wars. And what the heavens are advising us to do. Plus, so much more…See you then! Namaste…

If you like, please subscribe for more!     Unleashing Creativity: Tapping into Your Innate Potential In a world driven by innovation and originality, creativity is one of the most valued and sought-after traits. While some might think creativity is a rare gift bestowed upon a fortunate few, the truth is that we all possess an innate creative potential waiting to be unleashed. This article will explore practical ways to tap into your creative reservoir and bring your ideas to life.   1. Embrace Curiosity Curiosity is the cornerstone of creativity. By asking questions and seeking out new experiences, you open your mind to a world of possibilities. Take time to explore new hobbies, read diverse genres of books, or learn about different cultures. The more varied your experiences, the richer your creative pool becomes.   2. Create a Stimulating Environment Your surroundings can significantly impact your creativity. Design a space that inspires you—fill it with art, colors, and objects that spark joy and imagination. Whether it's a cozy corner in your home or a vibrant workspace, ensure it reflects your personality and fuels your creative spirit.   3. Practice Mindfulness Mindfulness helps quiet the noise in your mind, allowing your inner creativity to emerge. Regular practices like meditation, yoga, or simply mindful breathing can help you stay present and connect with your thoughts and ideas more deeply. This mental clarity can lead to breakthrough moments of creativity.   4. Embrace Failure as a Learning Tool Fear of failure often stifles creativity. Instead of viewing mistakes as setbacks, see them as valuable learning experiences. Every failed attempt brings you one step closer to a successful idea. Embrace a growth mindset, understanding that creativity is a journey filled with trials and errors.   5. Engage in Creative Play Sometimes, the best way to unleash creativity is through play. Activities like drawing, painting, writing, or even playing with building blocks can stimulate your brain in new ways. These playful endeavors can break the monotony of routine thinking and unlock fresh, innovative ideas.   6. Collaborate with Others Creativity often thrives in collaboration. Engaging with others exposes you to different perspectives and ideas, which can ignite your creative spark. Join a club, attend workshops, or simply have brainstorming sessions with friends or colleagues. The synergy of multiple minds can lead to extraordinary creative breakthroughs.   7. Set Aside Time for Creativity In our busy lives, creativity can easily take a backseat. Make a conscious effort to set aside time each day for creative activities. Whether it's 15 minutes of journaling, an hour of crafting, or an afternoon of brainstorming, regular practice helps build and maintain your creative muscles.   8. Seek Inspiration in Nature Nature is a profound source of inspiration. Spending time outdoors, observing the beauty and intricacies of the natural world, can rejuvenate your mind and spark creative ideas. Go for a walk in the park, hike a trail, or simply sit in your garden to connect with nature and your inner creativity.   9. Limit Screen Time While technology offers numerous creative tools, it can also be a distraction. Excessive screen time can drain your mental energy and creativity. Set boundaries for your digital consumption and allow yourself time away from screens to think, dream, and create without interruptions.   10. Reflect and Record Your Ideas Keep a journal or a digital notepad to jot down your thoughts and ideas as they come. Reflection helps you process and refine your creative ideas. Regularly reviewing your notes can provide valuable insights and fuel your creative endeavors.   Unleashing your creativity is not about waiting for inspiration to strike; it's about cultivating habits and environments that encourage creative thinking. By embracing curiosity, creating stimulating spaces, practicing mindfulness, and engaging in playful and collaborative activities, you can tap into your innate creative potential. Remember, creativity is a journey—enjoy the process, learn from it, and let your imagination soar.

Gotsch opens with a stark but measured assessment: while the prison population has declined since its peak in the late 2000s, there are troubling signs of political backsliding, with states like Louisiana reversing youth justice reforms and a broader erosion of bipartisan momentum. Throughout the conversation, Gotsch underscores a central paradox: the U.S. imposes some of the longest prison sentences in the world, yet there is little evidence those sentences improve public safety. In fact, most people who serve decades behind bars—especially those who were young at the time of their offense—pose minimal risk of reoffending upon release. Gotsch calls for capping sentences at 20 years and stresses the importance of “second look” legislation that gives incarcerated people a meaningful chance at rehabilitation and release. The episode delves into youth justice reform and recent breakthroughs in state courts, which are increasingly recognizing the science behind emerging adult brain development. These rulings challenge life without parole for people under 21 and show the growing influence of evidence-based policy grounded in neuroscience and compassion. Ultimately, Gotsch argues that data alone won't change hearts and minds. What's needed, she says, is storytelling—bringing the public closer to the lives of those impacted by incarceration. “There's no compassion for a number,” she says. “But there is compassion for a human being.” It's a moving call to reframe justice not as retribution, but as restoration.

Forrest and Dr. Rick discuss what's really wrong with the self-help industry, going beyond the obvious pseudoscience and snake oil to examine deeper structural issues. They explore the industry's mixed-bag focus on individual responsibility, the risks of turning healing into a never-ending project, performative personal growth, narcissism, social media and capitalism, and honest striving vs. hustle culture. They also talk about their personal experiences navigating our relationship to the industry. Throughout, Rick and Forrest emphasize finding the middle path: balancing agency with awareness, growth with acceptance, and sincerity with skepticism. Key Topics: 0:00: Introduction 4:32: Healthy striving vs. obsessive self-improvement 8:27: The role of motivation: growth, shame, and self-worth 12:13: Problems with placing all responsibility on the individual 20:46: Performative self-help and spiritual status-seeking 26:13: Excessive self-preoccupation and narcissistic drift 34:34: Buddhist insights on “selfing” and the illusion of identity 44:43: Self-help as hustle culture 50:57: The generational shift from grindset to bed rotting 54:09: The self-help industrial complex and its incentives 58:56: Commodifying the self and seeking validation 1:04:18: Creating ethical, transparent content 1:08:12: Recap Support the Podcast: We're now on Patreon!

One of the biggest problems that humanity has faced for thousands of years is heat.  Excessive heat made it difficult to work in the middle of the day. Heat was especially problematic in the tropics, where a shockingly large percentage of humanity lived.  As cities became more developed, excess heat, all year round, became a limiting factor in how tall buildings could get.  All of these problems were solved with one invention.

The phrase “it's just a small project” has probably caused more confusion, blown more budgets, and strained more relationships than we'd care to admit. It sounds harmless, maybe even charming - the architectural equivalent of a quick favor. But that phrase carries weight. Because behind every modest addition, bathroom remodel, or garage conversion is the same professional rigor we apply to larger work … just without the benefit of scale. Whether it's fees that don't shrink as expected, construction costs that defy logic, or clients caught off guard by the number of decisions they'll need to make, these projects demand clarity, patience, and experience. So today, we're talking about what architects need to communicate, anticipate, and prepare for when the work is small but the expectations are not. Welcome to Episode 180: Size Doesn't Matter.  [Note: If you are reading this via email, click here to access the on-site audio player]  Architectural Fees Don't Scale jump to 3:50 One of the most misunderstood aspects of residential design is how architectural fees are determined. Many clients assume that a smaller project should result in a proportionally smaller fee. But architectural fees don't scale like that. A 400-square-foot addition still requires site measurements, code research, zoning analysis, (possibly) consultant coordination, and detailed documentation. Whether the project is 400 or 4,000 square feet, many of the baseline efforts remain the same. You still need floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, building sections, wall sections, electrical layouts, and coordination with structural engineers or energy consultants. And while the documentation may be shorter, the care and precision required to make a small project work can sometimes take even more time. For example, a kitchen renovation might involve more detail and coordination per square foot than an entire house. The AIA has published guidance on fee structures in the "Architect's Handbook of Professional Practice," (this is a book that I highly recommend) which notes that project complexity and risk should be used to help determine compensation, not just size. As architects, we must be clear in helping clients understand that fees represent time and expertise, not floor area. If you charge a fixed fee or percentage of construction cost, be sure to explain what that covers and what it doesn't. Helping clients see the value in pre-design services, permitting assistance, and construction observation can prevent misunderstandings later. Saving the best for last, just because it's a small project doesn't mean the liability is small. Professional risk remains, which means the time spent to get it right matters, regardless of scale. the post that I referenced in our discussions was this one ...*the penalty of drawing too much -  Excessive or Essential? The Entire Timeline jump to 9:43 Clients often think the timeline for a small project will be quick. And to be fair, the design phase might be shorter than that of a ground-up custom home. But that's only one piece of the puzzle. Permitting can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months, depending on the jurisdiction. In some cities, small additions are routed through full plan review just like new homes. And once the project is permitted, the construction timeline is subject to the availability of contractors and materials, site conditions, and even weather. It's our responsibility to help clients understand the full arc of the process. According to a 2023 survey from Houzz, the average design-to-completion timeline for a kitchen remodel is around 8-12 months, even when the construction itself only takes 2-3. Why the gap? Because there are lags built into the process. Design review boards, HOA approvals, contractor bidding windows, and permit review times all add up. When you add in backorders on appliances or materials, things can shift quickly. That's why it's so important to map out the process...
