Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Hayley: Hi Dr. Cabral- What is your opinion on stabilized lignite extract supplements? It is purported to tighten up a leaky gut, but I'm not clear on if this product is a necessary addition to my diet. Thanks for all the work you do– your podcast is awesome! James: Hi Dr. C what are your thoughts on eating fruit after dinner Nick: I've seen a lot of talk lately about doing sauna for too long being bad for you? Is this true and how do you know when too long is too long? Does temperature matter, or only time in the sauna? Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, thanks for doing these HouseCalls - they are so helpful and I enjoy learning from them weekly as an IHP2! My questions is this: I had a client using Estrogen balance to help with her PMS symptoms and it really helped her a lot. I'm wondering when I know is the right time to begin lowering her dosage or stopping the supplement. Marcy: Thank you Dr. Cabral for taking my question! Why do you think it is that most of my clients seem to feel each FM Detox gets easier every time they do one. And why is it though that sometimes for seeming random reasons they'll have a challenging quarterly Detox where it feels like maybe the first time again? I'm just confused when this happens and I want to better know how to support my clients when this occurs.

Most people believe a PhD advisor is supposed to “add value.” Or that a student is supposed to “add value.”Like there's this clean exchange.Like everybody knows what they're doing.But if you've spent even five minutes in this world, you know that's not true.What actually happens is two people trying to survive the same weird, messy system where nobody has a clue what the right answer is. Everyone is guessing. Everyone is under pressure. Everyone is trying not to look like a screw-up. And that's when all the strange behavior shows up.People defect.People ghost.People walk away just when things get uncertain.People disappear because they don't want to deal with ambiguity.And you start internalizing it—every single time—as if it must be your fault.I've done this my whole life.I assume I said something wrong.I assume I wrote something wrong.I assume I am the problem.But most of the time, you're not the problem at all.What I've learned is that value in research is not extracted. It's not sitting there waiting to be taken. It gets molded. It gets created. And that only happens when people actually stay in the room together long enough to admit, “Yeah… I don't really know what I'm doing either.”That moment—right there—is where the magic happens.But it's rare.Really rare.So if someone ghosts you, or treats you poorly, or makes you feel inferior—don't immediately jump to, “I messed up.” Often they're just running from the ambiguity. Or fighting it. Or stuck in their own head.Just remember: most of us are trying to navigate this confusing world with no answers, no map, and no guarantees. You're doing better than you think.Take care.

Freelancers are giving away their most valuable AI insights, and not getting paid for it. In today's episode, we're taking a hard look at one of the biggest blind spots for freelance writers and content pros right now: the failure to package your AI knowledge into a paid offer. Your clients want to use AI. They're trying. But they're confused, overwhelmed, and scared of doing it wrong. And guess what? You already have the skills and experience to guide them. But unless you turn that informal help into a structured service, it's just free advice that goes nowhere. In this episode, we're going to fix that. What You'll Learn Why most freelance writers are leaving serious money on the table when it comes to AI The three types of AI helpers, and why only one gets paid what they're worth How to package your AI knowledge into a sellable offer (with real examples) The "three blockers" that keep most freelancers from monetizing their AI skills What happens after you package your AI services, and how to push through impostor syndrome Key Ideas & Takeaways The real constraint is implementation confidence within your clients' teams. Everyone has the tools. What they don't have is the confidence to use them well. They're worried about brand voice, risk, reputation, and wasting time. That's where you come in. But clients won't pay you for casual tips. They'll pay for structured guidance. The 3 Types of AI Help The Informal Helper (Invisible Labor) · You're answering AI questions and offering tips for free · No structure, no price, no perceived value The AI-Enabled Doer (Efficient But Undervalued) You use AI to deliver better work faster, but you're still billing for output, not insight Clients don't see the "how," just the deliverable The AI Implementation Partner (Where the Money Is) You guide teams, build workflows, train staff, and solve real problems This is a packaged consulting offer, and it can command $5K–$10K+ fees The 3 Packaging Blockers (And How to Overcome Them) Blocker 1: "I don't know enough" Reality: You don't need to be an expert, just more knowledgeable than your clients Action: Write down 10 AI lessons you've learned the hard way. Your first offer is likely somewhere in there Blocker 2: "I don't know what to sell" Reality: Your offer is hiding in your inbox and client conversations. Extract it from the questions clients already ask Action: Track every AI-related client question over the next 30 days. Your next offer is in there Blocker 3: "I don't know how to price it" Reality: You're not selling outputs, you're selling transformation Action: Anchor your pricing to the outcomes and risk reduction you create The Anatomy of a Packaged AI Service Every successful offer has four parts: The Constraint You're Managing Examples: "I help marketing teams adopt AI without destroying their brand voice." "I implement AI systems legal will approve." "I guide consultants through using AI to mine insights from their internal data." The Deliverables & Process Week 1: Audit Weeks 2–3: Build custom GPTs, create systems Week 4: Train team, hand off playbook The Timeline 3–4 weeks is ideal. Clear start, clear end. The Outcome/Transformation Examples: "You'll get an AI-powered content workflow that triples output without sacrificing quality." "You'll eliminate brand voice inconsistencies in AI-generated content." "You'll get your team onboard with AI confidently and safely." What Happens After You Package It You'll doubt yourself. That's normal You'll stumble through the first pitch You'll realize you know more than you thought Clients will love your structure more than your brilliance You don't need to be the best AI expert. You just need to be the one your client trusts. And you need to take those first few steps in faith, trusting that the path will appear as you move forward. Listener Challenge Take action this week: List 10 things you've learned from using AI in your freelance work Track any AI-related questions your clients ask Package what you already know into a 3–4 week offer Pitch it to one person Start small. Start now. That's how real momentum builds. Want Help Packaging Your Own AI Service? If this episode sparked ideas, I'm running a half-day, 1-on-1 workshop plus a 3-week coaching sprint to help you package their AI knowledge into premium consulting services. No spots open at the moment, but I may open some spots in January or February. If you'd like to work with me privately on this, shoot me an email (ed at b2blauncher dot com) with "AI Consultant Accelerator" in the subject line, and I'll reply with the details.

The rescue operation to extract Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado and transport her to Norway was led by a team of Veterans and involved a series dangerous steps, disguises and various components in land, sea and air. The mission, dubbed 'Operation Golden Dynamite', was directed by Bryan Stern, a U.S. special forces veteran and founder of the Tampa-based Grey Bull Rescue Foundation, a nonprofit organization that is entirely donor-funded which specializes in high-risk rescue missions and evacuations, especially from war and disaster zones. María Corina Machado hasn't been seen in public for almost a year, and she hadn't seen her children in even longer.

27% Less Cardiac Death: The Cocoa Extract Study Explained Ep. 1271 DEC 2025A major randomized controlled trial, the COSMOS study, previously established a stunning statistic: older adults taking daily cocoa extract experienced a 27% reduction in cardiovascular disease death. However, the biological reason why remained unclear—until now. A new analysis published in Age and Ageing (Sept 2025) examined the bloodwork of 598 participants over two years. The researchers discovered that the cocoa extract (containing 500mg of flavanols) significantly reduced "inflammaging"—specifically lowering high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) by 8.4%. This reduction in chronic inflammation offers the "missing link" that explains the mechanism behind the massive 27% drop in cardiovascular mortality.3.

1938: Accurate Warnings and the May Crisis: Colleague Charles Spicer explains that in early 1938, as Vansittart was sidelined, Christie continued to extract "spookily accurate" war plans from Göring, providing London with a clear map of Hitler's intentions; introducing the Kordt brothers, diplomats in the German embassy who served as vital conduits for resistance intelligence, the segment concludes with the "May Crisis," where intelligence provided by the protagonists regarding a potential attack on Czechoslovakia may have forced Hitler to temporarily back down, demonstrating the effectiveness of the amateur spies' network. 1933
A new clinical analysis based on the COcoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study (COSMOS) found that older adults taking a daily cocoa extract supplement saw an 8.4% annual drop in high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), a key marker of chronic inflammation The supplement provided 500 milligrams of cocoa flavanols daily, including 80 milligrams of (-)-epicatechin, which is the same bioactive compound found naturally in cacao Researchers said this anti-inflammatory effect may help explain a 27% lower risk of cardiovascular mortality previously observed in the larger COSMOS trial Taking a cocoa flavanol supplement appears to support vascular and immune health by calming NF-κB signaling and improving endothelial function Unlike dark chocolate, standardized cocoa extract supplements are free of sugar and fat, delivering clinically studied doses in capsule form

Alex is an AI recruiter that autonomously handles phone screens, video interviews, and candidate communications at scale for enterprise talent teams and staffing firms. The company rebranded from Apriora after acquiring alex.com for over half a million dollars—a brand investment that immediately increased word-of-mouth referrals and inbound pipeline. In this episode of BUILDERS, we sat down with Aaron Wang, Co-Founder & CEO of Alex, to discuss achieving seven figures in revenue through founder-led sales in staffing, their "respectful zagging" approach to standing out in a crowded AI agent market, and building toward network effects that could fundamentally reshape talent matching. Topics Discussed Justifying a $500K+ domain acquisition to co-founders and investors Building candidate experience that drives engagement rather than rejection Design decisions around AI avatars versus voice-only interactions Differentiation strategy in marketing: zagging without rage baiting Hiring framework based on incentive understanding and first-principles thinking Market segmentation between staffing firms and corporate TA teams Long-term platform vision leveraging cross-company recruiting data GTM Lessons For B2B Founders Quantify intangible asset ROI through pipeline metrics, not brand sentiment: Aaron defended the $500K+ alex.com purchase by tracking "huge increase in word of mouth and inbound, which is obviously directly measurable." The previous name Apriora created friction in sharing and referrals. With enterprise contract sizes, removing pronunciation and memorability barriers has concrete pipeline impact. The domain also functions as a balance sheet asset. Founders should evaluate premium domains against customer acquisition cost and deal velocity, not abstract brand value. Extract vertical-specific insights before horizontal expansion: Alex reached seven figures in staffing revenue exclusively through founder-led sales before entering corporate TA. Aaron noted they had "a few key insights into what made staffing particularly relevant as a market." This concentrated approach allowed them to refine product-market fit and build referenceable customers in one segment. Only after achieving clear traction did they expand strategically to corporate TA. Founders should resist premature market expansion—depth in one vertical provides the learnings needed for successful adjacency moves. Structure interviews to surface first-principles thinking across functions: Aaron described having A-player marketers conduct first rounds, then A-player engineers conduct second rounds for the same candidate. This cross-functional approach tests whether candidates can operate from first principles rather than just applying domain playbooks. The key insight: "A players want to work with A players and A players can identify A players. A B player can't identify an A player." Founders should design interview loops that reveal foundational reasoning ability, not just functional competence. Hire for incentive mapping ability over category experience: Exceptional marketers understand "what is incentivizing someone to share or post or like" and how to create mindshare. Aaron emphasized this matters more than HR tech background, citing Vinod Khosla's gene pool engineering concept. You need domain expertise somewhere in the company, but hiring everyone for it dilutes your ability to think differently. Founders should prioritize candidates who demonstrate deep understanding of human incentives and can identify non-obvious differentiation opportunities. Align brand aesthetic with product philosophy to reinforce positioning: Alex deliberately avoided human avatars, choosing nature imagery and green color schemes to make AI feel "grounded" rather than "abstract." This extends their product belief that "bad AI is worse than no AI"—the brand needed to signal reliability and familiarity. Aaron explicitly contrasted this with rage baiting tactics: "not something we're interested in doing." Founders should ensure visual identity and messaging tactics authentically reflect product values rather than chasing engagement metrics that misalign with positioning. Map product roadmap by studying adjacent verticals with faster adoption curves: When discussing category, Aaron compared Alex to Harvey rather than interview intelligence tools. He noted HR tech "tends to lag others" in technology uptake, making legal AI a better predictive model. Just as Harvey expanded from document review to email automation to client portals, Alex views phone screening as "one important, but only one portion of what a recruiter does today." Founders in slower-adopting categories should analyze product evolution in faster-moving verticals to anticipate feature expansion and avoid getting boxed into point solution positioning. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

[00:30] Tucker Carlson's Attempt to Extract the Jews From Judeo-Christian Values (40 minutes) It was long said that America and Western civilization were founded on the Judeo-Christian ethic. Now there is an attempt to remove the “Judeo” from that equation. Is that possible? [40:00] Abrahamic Promises (15 minutes) Two great promises were made to the patriarch Abraham. Later, those promises were split between two sons of Israel: Joseph and Judah. Are these promises still in effect today?

This week, Donald Macleod explores Wagner's world of dreams – musical, romantic and revolutionary. Wagner didn't just write operas; he imagined entire worlds, reshaping reality to fit his ideals. His stories blur fact and fantasy, turning myth into truth and politics into drama. From youthful ambitions and radical uprisings to scandal, patronage and the creation of Bayreuth, we follow a composer whose dreams were as grand as his music.Götterdämmerung, Act III: Siegfried's Funeral March Die Feen, Act II: Weh uns, weh!; O musst du, Hoffnung, schwinden Piano Sonata in B-flat Major, WWV 21, Op. 1 (ii.

In this episode, Ben introduces The Useful Feedback Journal, a digital tool designed to help leaders process, accept, or reject feedback thoughtfully. Drawing from his own painful experience receiving harsh feedback after a workshop, Ben explains how the journal guides you through four stages – Retreat, Reflect, Extract, and Act – to turn feedback into growth rather than frustration. He also shares success stories from pilot users and outlines how journaling can help you track patterns and improve your response to feedback over time. Resources mentioned in this episode: The Useful Feedback Journal Thoughtful Leader Coaching.
Comedian David Koechner talks about growing up in a big family in a small Missouri town, and developing the need to be heard and seen by taking the attention, the importance of SNL and Monty Python. Deciding to be a performer. Making the move to Chicago, the influence of being Catholic, the fall of old show business, trying to carve out a career in the aftermath. Becoming a stand-up, how we don't own our kids, improv vs drama, feuds, apologies, Adam McCay, Del Close, and the maturity to not spill a milkshake over yourself even if you will get a laugh. Bio:David Michael Koechner on August 24, 1962, in Tipton, Missouri, his parents ran a business manufacturing turkey coops. He has two brothers and three sisters. He studied political science before moving to Chicago to pursue improvisational comedy at ImprovOlympic and Second City. Koechner was a cast member on Saturday Night Live from 1995–1996, performing in sketches like "Bill Brasky" and "The British Fops". His breakout film role was as Champ Kind in Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004), a character he returned to in the 2013 sequel. He also played Todd Packer in 15 episodes of The Office (2005–2013), a role for which Steve Carell recommended him. Koechner has appeared in numerous other films, including Talladega Nights, Thank You for Smoking, Extract, and Waiting..., and received praise for his dramatic role in Cheap Thrills (2014). His television work includes voice roles in American Dad! and recurring parts in shows like Another Period and The Goldbergs. He continues to perform stand-up comedy and tours with "The Office Trivia with 'Todd Packer'". David performs stand-up around the country and is available for dinner if the food's good. Editing Notes: David does a LOT of shitting on priests and churches and show biz. I think it gets boring.

When You're Not Confirmed in Your Role: What Now?You took the leap. A big new role. A new company. A bold career move. And then, a few months in, the call comes: they're not moving forward with you. You're not being confirmed in your position. It's unexpected, it's brutal—and it can shake your confidence to its core.In this podcast episode of Stepping Into The Arena, Karen Gombault breaks down what not being confirmed really means, why it happens more often than people talk about, and how to leave with your leadership identity intact. It's a raw, honest, and powerful conversation for any senior leader navigating transition, misalignment, or professional rejection.If you're carrying shame, questioning your worth, or wondering how to explain it—this episode is for you.5 KEY TAKEAWAYS:Being let go at the end of a confirmation period is not evidence of failure. It's often a misalignment between values, expectations, or evolving business needs.Reframe the story. It's not rejection—it's redirection. You get to own the narrative you carry and share.Mandate shifts and cultural misfit are real. The job you were hired for might not be the job you walked into—and that's on them, not you.Extract the learning. Use this moment to clarify your non-negotiables, your ideal work environment, and what you now know about yourself as a leader.Your leadership identity is intact. Your track record doesn't vanish because one role didn't work out. Walk away with your head held high."The danger isn't that the company asked you to go. The danger is that you made it mean something about yourself and your worth instead of seeing it as an opportunity for growth." – Karen GombaultThis episode is your invitation to rewrite the story. To stop shrinking, and start reframing. To take the data and carry it forward—to a role that truly aligns with who you are and how you lead.RESOURCES & NEXT STEPS:Set up a call to discuss potentially working together:
Embracing Failure as Part of Success Are you avoiding failure? In this thought-provoking episode of the Building Better Humans Project podcast, host Glenn, challenges our conventional understanding of failure. Rather than seeing failure as the opposite of success, Glenn reframes it as an essential component of the journey toward achievement. Every person you admire has likely failed more times than most people have even attempted something new. The difference? They didn't let failure define them—they transformed it into feedback, fuel, and stepping stones toward their goals. This episode dives into how failure is simply data—information telling you that something about your approach needs adjustment. Just as we don't criticize babies for falling when learning to walk, we shouldn't expect perfection from ourselves on first attempts. Through personal stories from business setbacks to challenges on the Kokoda Track, Glenn illustrates how his own failures became the foundation for his current success. Timestamps and Key Takeaways: **01:15** - Redefining failure as feedback rather than a final outcome- Failure provides data about what didn't work in your approach **03:30** - Glenn's personal failures after leaving the Army and how they shaped his business- Financial mistakes and marketing missteps became learning opportunities **05:20** - Examples of famous "failures" like Michael Jordan and Thomas Edison- Jordan missed 9,000+ shots but kept shooting- Edison found 10,000 ways not to make a lightbulb before succeeding **07:45** - Four-step framework for turning failure into fuel1. Reframe the meaning: Ask "what's the lesson?" instead of "why me?"2. Extract the lesson: Document what you'll do differently next time3. Take immediate action: Don't dwell in failure; maintain momentum4. Build resilience through repetition: Regular exposure reduces fear **10:30** - Weekly challenge: Write down your last failure and extract three lessons Ready to transform how you handle setbacks and use them as catalysts for growth? This episode offers practical strategies to reframe your relationship with failure. Whether you're struggling with professional challenges, personal setbacks, or fear of trying something new, Glenn's insights will help you see failure not as a dead end but as a detour pointing toward growth.
