In this deeply personal conversation, Adel Sayegh joins Dwayne Kerrigan to share Part 1 of his story of losing everything — financially, professionally, and emotionally — and the lessons that followed.Adel opens up about the moment when the life he had built suddenly collapsed. The house, the car, the career, and the identity that came with success were all gone. What followed was one of the most defining moments of his life: facing fear, uncertainty, and the realization that everything he once believed about stability and success could disappear overnight.But this story is not about loss — it's about resilience.Adel reflects on how faith, humility, and the support of his wife helped him rebuild from the ground up.

One of our responsibilities in this world is to care about our fellow Jew and to do whatever we can to help bring them closer to Hashem. Hashem yearns for a relationship with all of His children, and there are so many who do not even know who He is. At times, a person may feel disheartened. He may have tried again and again to influence others in a positive way and yet has not seen any results. The yetzer hara whispers that perhaps his efforts are accomplishing nothing. But the truth is exactly the opposite. The Mishnah in Pirkei Avot teaches: לא עליך המלאכה לגמור ולא אתה בן חורין להיבטל ממנה . It is not upon you to complete the work, but neither are you free to desist from it. Our responsibility is not to produce results. Our responsibility is to make the effort. Results are never in our control, but effort always is. And in the eyes of Hashem, it is the effort that matters most. If a person is fortunate enough to see the fruits of his labor, that is a gift. But very often, those fruits are not seen until much later—sometimes even generations later. The Gemara tells us that in the zechut of the forty-two korbanot that Balak brought, he merited to have Ruth as a descendant. Although his intentions were not pure, he still performed an act that had value, and that act bore fruit years later in a way he could never have imagined. A person's actions always accomplish something, even if he never sees the results. Every effort to bring another Jew closer to Hashem is infinitely precious. When those efforts are done לשם שמים , there is even greater blessing placed upon them. The Gerrer Rebbe had an extraordinary love for Shabbat and worked tirelessly to inspire others to observe it. One of his initiatives was to have women in the community distribute Shabbat candles with matches on Fridays to anyone willing to take them. One day, a completely non-observant couple passed by, and a woman offered them candles for Shabbat. Not wanting to offend her, they took four candles, implying they would use them for two weeks, although in truth they had no intention of lighting them even once. They placed the candles in the backseat of their car and drove away. The husband worked as a tour guide. A few days later, he was leading a group of wealthy tourists to explore a large cave. As they approached the cave, he turned on his flashlight—only to discover that the battery had died. Panic began to set in. He feared the group would be upset and that it would cost him financially. Then he suddenly remembered the candles in his car. He ran back, retrieved them, and divided the group into smaller sections, giving each group a candle to hold. The experience turned out to be far more beautiful than anyone had expected. The soft glow of the candles created an atmosphere that was far more powerful than a simple flashlight. The group was so impressed that they gave him a very generous tip and spoke enthusiastically about the experience. That night, the man began thinking about those candles. He felt that they had brought him unexpected blessing and wanted to understand more about them. He approached a religious Jew and asked about the significance of Shabbat candles. He was told that they bring peace into the home, as light allows a person to function calmly and pleasantly. The man responded that he already had electricity and did not need candles. The other Jew explained that Shabbat candles are not just about light—they create a special atmosphere that honors the sanctity of Shabbat. He invited the man and his wife to join him for a Shabbat meal. They accepted. Experiencing the beauty of Shabbat—the warmth, the singing, the divrei Torah—made a deep impression on them. That single experience became the beginning of a journey that eventually led them to become fully observant. All of this came from a simple act—handing out a few Shabbat candles. That one small effort ultimately brought back not only a couple, but generations that would come from them. We never know the impact of even the smallest action. A word of encouragement, a smile, an invitation, a simple act of care—each one has the potential to change a life. It is not our role to see the results. It is our role to act. Hashem takes those actions and brings them to fruition in ways far beyond what we can imagine.
Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor's fascination with brain health and human psychology began with a personal question: why do people perceive the same world so differently? After growing up with a brother diagnosed with schizophrenia, she dedicated her life to understanding the brain. At age 37, she suffered a massive stroke and watched her brain shut down in real time. That experience gave her rare insight into how the brain truly works. In this episode, Dr. Jill shares her whole-brain framework and explains how understanding our four brain characters can transform how we think, feel, and show up in life and business.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about a confusing experience many first responders struggle to explain: feeling drained (Amazon Affiliate), irritable, or emotionally flat after a shift that was technically "normal." Nothing major happened. No critical incident. No obvious trauma. And yet, by the time you're home, your patience is thin and your energy is gone. This episode breaks down why routine exposure to stress still takes a toll—and why your nervous system doesn't need a crisis to become depleted.
It speaks volumes when an urban planner, an expert in housing, community and economic development who has served in leadership positions in the federal government, national nonprofit intermediaries, and in a community-based Latino serving organization decides that his passion lies in working at the hyper-local level with communities that are often underserved and underestimated. Manuel Ochoa, my guest on this week's episode of Power Station, launched Ochoa Urban Collaborative in 2019 to support the change making aspirations of marginalized communities in the US and globally. He shares his contributions to the Purple Line Corridor Coalition, a public-private and community partnership, supported by the University of Maryland's National Center for Smart Growth, whose mission is to ensure that the state's largest transit investment is designed and implemented with equity as its North Star. Manuel focuses on the scores of small businesses along the Corridor, mostly immigrant owned, that managed to survive the pandemic and are now navigating an economic downturn and the White House's anti-immigrant agenda. And we talk about the role of the arts in community development and more personally, in Manuel's life.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Marc discusses statements that seem to show resilience but actually minimize the impact of trauma and past experiences. He explains two types of memories: implicit and explicit. Experiencing adverse childhood events isn't about the severity of what happened—it's about how we make sense of what we went through. I've been unemployed for two years and have depleted my savings. My husband has savings, but he won't cover household expenses like food. I've told him I want to file for a legal separation. My husband did remodeling work for a widow in my Bible study, but she isn't willing to pay him. I talked to our Bible study leader about it—what can I learn from this situation? The Bible says we have a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7), so why do so many Christians struggle with depression? I wasn't in church for a year due to IBS, and it's hard to get back into the groove.

Let’s Chat About The Winter Homeschool Slump It’s the winter homeschool slump. The holidays are long gone, spring still feels impossibly far away, and you’ve repeated your weekly homeschool routine approximately 25 times since September. You’ve done an estimated 125 loads of laundry. And somewhere in the middle of all of it — you stopped factoring yourself in. In this episode, Teresa gets honest about what this season actually costs homeschool mamas — emotionally, physically, and practically. She talks about Seasonal Affective Disorder, the winter blues, the boredom few admit to, and the unrealistic expectations that make the slump hit harder than it needs to. She also brings in the voices of real homeschool mamas sharing what actually helps them get through February — from mud walks and maple sugaring to chocolate stores, kitchen cooking lessons, and Perler beads. And she introduces the free Homeschool Mama Mini-Retreat — a self-paced guided space to pause, breathe, and remember who you are beyond the role you play every day. Whether you’re listening before or after the episode — this one is for the mama who’s doing everything for everyone else and quietly wondering when someone is going to show up for her. What This Episode Is About: Key Takeaways • The winter homeschool slump is real — and it has a season. January through March is genuinely hard for many, and struggling doesn’t mean you’re failing. • Seasonal Affective Disorder and winter blues are clinically real and common during the winter homeschool slump. Low light, low energy, and low motivation are not personal weaknesses. • Since September you’ve repeated your weekly routine 25 times and done approximately 125 loads of laundry. The math explains the depletion. • Most homeschool overwhelm isn’t about curriculum — it’s about expectations that were never realistic to begin with. • You almost never factored yourself into your original vision for homeschooling. That’s worth sitting with. • Charlotte Mason taught that atmosphere is one of the chief instruments of education. You are the atmosphere. Taking care of yourself is part of the lesson plan. • The retreat Teresa created was born in March 2020 — because even devoted, experienced homeschool mamas need somewhere to land. • You don’t need a 47-step self-care overhaul. You need one small, doable thing that actually fits your life. Questions to Sit With Teresa paused during this episode and asked these questions directly. If you haven’t answered them yet — here’s your space. What were your expectations when you first began homeschooling? What surprised you about the reality of it? Or what part of homeschool life makes you question yourself the most? When did you last ask yourself what you actually need? If nothing changes — what stays the same? From the Confident Homeschool Mom Community Real homeschool mamas shared what actually gets them through the winter homeschool slump. Teresa read these in the episode — here they are to keep. On getting outside and leaning into the season: “We try to get outdoors as much as possible, even when it means being covered head to toe in rainy, cold mud. This time of year is great for witnessing lamb births, ice skating, husky races, snow shoeing, maple sugaring. Good time to visit science museums and do more tangible things with our hands. And last but not least — chocolate. That’s what February is for.“ On letting the kitchen be the classroom: “Just stop. Play educational games. Get to planning, preparing, cooking, and serving a nutritional meal. Learn how to set a proper table. Every subject is addressed in the kitchen. Dramatic reading out loud — that can dissolve into laughter and build confidence at the same time.“ On mixing things up: Schedule indoor field trips as often as possible. Learn a new subject — we’re currently learning about Black women in history. Cuddle with a warm blanket and read books aloud. Take on a new project — coding tutorials, Perler beads. Bond: play board games, have a dance party, cook together. From Colleen — who is the one being homeschooled: I can definitely relate to February slump month — except I am on the other end of the spectrum. I am the one being homeschooled, and I would not change it for the world. What Mamas Are Saying About the Retreat “I told you at our first session that I was looking for hope — and the tools in this retreat gave me exactly that. I hope all of your retreats bear fruit into deflated women like me, changing their defeat into delight again.” — Cheri, Homeschool Mom of 4 “Teresa is the real deal. Her ability to hold space for difficult feelings makes her no-small-talk approach so effective. I trust her completely.” — Carrie, Homeschool Mom of 2 “Teresa is a gift. I am so blown away by the care she takes to really get to know who she’s talking with.

Pascal Mirindi, a 25-year-old activist from Goma, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, grew up surrounded by the violent fall-out of the Rwandan genocide of 1994, which spilled over into the DRC. But at age 17, when Pascal joined a peaceful demonstration in the streets of Goma, it showed him another way to fight. Experiencing non-violent resistance changed his life and set him on a path to protect his country's ecosystems from the greed of oil companies. But – being confronted constantly with police repression, threats, and even forced exile – he wonders if it's time to step back or time to step up… Support the showWe can only do this work because of your support.

28th Feb 2026In this Satsang, Sanjay discussed how people often confuse their identity with their body and mind, leading to suffering and a false sense of control. He emphasized the importance of recognizing the eternal, unchanging self beyond the fluctuations of the mind. Sanjay explained that true happiness and freedom come from abiding in this self-awareness, which is accessible to everyone regardless of religious beliefs. He encouraged attendees to cultivate self-love and interest in knowing the truth, while reducing attachment to thoughts and external identities. The discussion concluded with insights on love as a universal connection and the importance of treating all things with respect and non-attachment.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA(Non-duality awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about the quiet realization many first responders reach after repeated exposure to trauma: something has changed, and going back to who you were before doesn't feel possible. This episode isn't about being broken. It's about understanding how trauma reshapes perspective, identity, and emotional responses—and why trying to return to an old version of yourself often creates more frustration than healing.
Kevin Webb, Managing Director of Superorganism, joins Erum and Karl to discuss why biodiversity is the next frontier for venture capital. After 15 years backing SaaS unicorns and marketplaces, Kevin made a radical pivot to launch a $25M fund focused exclusively on biodiversity-driven startups. In this conversation, Kevin breaks down why nature has been catastrophically undervalued in our economic systems, how his fund identifies venture-scale opportunities in everything from invasive species leather to AI-powered ecosystem monitoring, and why measuring biodiversity is infinitely harder than tracking carbon emissions. He shares portfolio highlights including companies turning Burmese pythons into luxury goods, explains why sea otters would make ideal board members, and reveals the cultural, technological, and regulatory shifts that could transform biodiversity from a conservation concern into a mainstream asset class within the next decade. This episode is essential listening for founders, investors, and anyone interested in the intersection of nature, technology, and capital.Grow Everything brings the bioeconomy to life.

But many remain cautious about replacing human talent or handing over mission-critical work to fast-evolving technology.
Carolyn Adriano died from an accidental drug overdose in May of this year, but in reality it was Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein's abuse that led to her death. After suffering years of abuse at the hands of Maxwell and Epstein, Carolyn was "aged out" because she hit the age of 18 and from there things continued to spiral. Experiencing trauma can have profound and lasting effects on an individual's mental and emotional well-being. Some people who suffer trauma turn to drugs as a coping mechanism, seeking relief from the intense psychological pain and distress that trauma can bring. This summary explores the complex relationship between trauma and substance abuse, shedding light on the factors that drive individuals to self-medicate with drugs.Trauma, whether caused by violence, accidents, natural disasters, or other distressing events, can lead to feelings of helplessness, anxiety, depression, and flashbacks. These emotional responses can be overwhelming, and some individuals may resort to substance abuse as a way to numb their pain and temporarily escape from the traumatic memories.Several key factors contribute to the connection between trauma and drug use:Emotional Relief: Drugs like alcohol, opioids, or stimulants can temporarily alleviate feelings of sadness, fear, and anxiety. Individuals may use drugs to experience emotional relief, even if it's temporary.Self-Medication: Some people turn to drugs as a form of self-medication to cope with their symptoms. They may not have access to or awareness of healthier coping strategies, such as therapy or support groups.Escapism: The effects of certain drugs can create a sense of detachment from reality, allowing those who have experienced trauma to temporarily escape from painful memories and emotions.Peer Pressure: Social environments where drug use is prevalent can encourage individuals to try substances, especially if they are already struggling with the aftermath of trauma. This can lead to a cycle of drug abuse as a means of fitting in or seeking connection.Biological Factors: Trauma can affect brain chemistry and increase the vulnerability to addiction. It can lead to changes in the reward system of the brain, making individuals more susceptible to substance abuse.Risk of Re-traumatization: Engaging in risky behaviors associated with substance abuse can increase the risk of re-traumatization, perpetuating a cycle of trauma and addiction.(commercial at 7:53)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ghislaine Maxwell sex trafficking victim OD'd but really it was murder | Toronto SunBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
This week, we're joined by Alexis Gauba, Co-Founder of Raindrop, an AI native observability platform built for agents in production.Alexis breaks down why operating agents is fundamentally different from monitoring traditional software. As systems shift from deterministic code to probabilistic behavior, dashboards alone are not enough. Teams need to detect unknown issues, track signals like forgetting, and understand long agent trajectories across millions of AI events.We discuss why agent observability has become essential over the past year, what makes agent infrastructure distinct from prior platform shifts, and when internal tooling stops scaling. Alexis also explains Raindrop's approach to production monitoring, combining explicit signals with automated detection to help teams not just find issues, but fix them.Episode chapters:2:05 - Founding Raindrop3:54 - Building with Close Friends5:44 - What Raindrop Actually Does7:45 - The Reliability Challenge of Agents9:55 - Monitoring Agents at Scale14:45 - Experiencing the Pain Firsthand18:00 - The Rise of Agent Infrastructure22:17 - Internal AI Use Cases24:07 - Hiring for Initiative and Ownership28:30 - The Power of Multitasking32:06 - Quick Fire Round This episode is brought to you by Grata, the leading deal sourcing platform for private equity.

On this week's UNPACKIN' it podcast, Bryce Johnson and Trip Smith unpack if sports fans will follow hockey after Team USA won gold…and how this translates to following Jesus. The guys discuss whether the sports fans who rooted so hard for Team USA in this gold medal game will begin following hockey, specifically the NHL, moving forward. They also share their thoughts on the times we experience a “spiritual high” after an inspiring sermon, a powerful retreat, or an encouraging lunch with a friend...and ask if we will actually serve and follow Jesus after getting fired up in these memorable moments.

Sometimes an AI can out-reason a senior analyst in the time it takes to brew coffee. Giuseppe Sette is President and Co-Founder of Reflexivity, an AI-driven investment platform built to bring institutional-grade reasoning to every investor. After managing billions as Co-CIO of Global Macro at Lombard Odier and holding senior roles at Brevan Howard and Davidson Kempner, he saw a structural problem in modern finance: even the most talented analysts were overwhelmed by the scale and speed of market data. That realization led him to build around a core principle he calls Reflexivity, the idea that intelligence must examine its own reasoning. Instead of simply retrieving or summarizing information, the system audits assumptions, models feedback loops, and pressure-tests conclusions before delivering insight. The goal is not just faster answers, but structured reasoning under uncertainty. In this episode, we explore the shift from search tools to true reasoning agents, what it means to build AI that thinks through its own logic, and why personal experience and conviction matter when launching a company in the middle of rapid technological change. Key Takeaways: Prioritize Personal Experience. Build around a problem you have personally faced and understand deeply. Embrace Technological Leverage. Use automation and advanced tools to offload low-level tasks, allowing you to focus on strategy and decision-making. Iterate Through Practical Use. Validate by watching how people use your product in real-world settings, not just in theory. Implement Self-Reflective Systems. Add double-checks and self-audits so efficiency never sacrifices accuracy. Define Clear Methodologies. Technology creates real impact when guided by a clear human framework.

In this episode of Vertical Playpen, Phil Brown and Celia Orsini delve into the intersection of archaeology and identity, exploring how understanding our past can enhance our sense of belonging and well-being. Celia shares her personal journey with archaeology, emphasizing the importance of landscape and community in shaping identity. The conversation highlights the role of empathy and communication in teams, the shift in community needs towards connection, and practical exercises for understanding identity through objects. Celia's insights provide valuable tools for fostering a sense of belonging in a world increasingly marked by loneliness. Archaeology is fundamentally about identity processes. Understanding our past helps us build community and belonging. Experiencing landscapes can create emotional connections. Identity is a fluid process influenced by our choices. Empathy is essential for effective communication in teams. Shared experiences build trust and foster collaboration. The need for community has shifted from political tensions to addressing loneliness. Practical exercises can help individuals explore their identity. Objects on our desks can reflect our personal stories and connections. Identity construction is an ongoing process that can be improved.

Hey everyone, just wanted to give you a realtime update on where things stand with my cancer. There's a new tumor we're zapping with radiation this week. The last 18 months I've been off all the drugs because they created debilitating brain fog. Now my doctors are recommending a modified drug to temporarily halt the cancer. They think it will create substantially less brain fog. I'll give it a shot and keep you posted.Kathy shares her heart too—the tough balance of supporting my choices even when they mean a shorter time together. We've turned this into one of the sweetest seasons of our marriage: chasing bucket list adventures, embracing every day, and refusing to let cancer steal our joy.God has been our Coach through it all—bringing clarity on what truly matters, strength, peace, and meaning. We're excited about meeting our first granddaughter soon. Brad's big project this year is writing his dad's (Bill Bright) biography. Cancer is part of our reality, but God is the bigger story. Therefore, whatever happens, we win.
What happens when you sit down with a lighting designer who's spent decades crafting immersive luxury experiences across the Middle East—and ask him what it really takes to turn a journey into an emotion?In this episode of LytePOD, host Sam Koerbel travels to Dubai to sit down with Paul Miles, a veteran lighting designer who has shaped some of the region's most ambitious hospitality projects—from desert resorts where car headlights announce arrivals 15 minutes away, to the monumental facade of Atlantis The Royal, to restaurants where the threshold experience matters as much as the destination itself. This isn't a conversation about fixtures or specifications—it's a deep dive into the philosophy, process, and pressure of designing light that doesn't just illuminate, but immerses.Paul reveals why luxury is different for every client, why the journey matters more than the photo, and why the best lighting design happens when you deliberately don't design around existing products. He walks through the 12-month process of developing a single facade detail, the crude cardboard models built in-office to sell falling leaf effects, and why sometimes you have to convince a client to let you design the back-of-house with the same care as the front lobby—because their staff matters as much as their guests.
