Deniz Ari: Why Great Product Owners Listen—Communication Lessons from Product Ownership Extremes The Great Product Owner: The Power of Clear Communication Deniz describes a truly exemplary Product Owner who excelled through outstanding communication skills. This PO was an exceptional listener who maintained openness throughout all interactions. They ensured the team thoroughly understood requirements and priorities, always clearly articulating the rationale behind decisions. With a well-defined product vision and transparent prioritization process, this PO successfully bridged the gap between the development team and clients. Deniz emphasizes how this clear communication style naturally fostered team motivation, as everyone understood not just what they were building, but why it mattered. The Bad Product Owner: The Tyrant PO Deniz shares a challenging experience with a problematic Product Owner during what initially appeared to be a straightforward public sector migration project with adequate budget and timeline. Despite these favorable conditions, the situation deteriorated when the PO began pushing the team to work overtime, overstepping boundaries by questioning architectural decisions, and inappropriately assuming Scrum Master responsibilities. Described as a "tyrant" or "despot," this PO exhibited extremely poor communication skills and preferred dictating rather than collaborating. When Deniz attempted to address these issues, the situation became so toxic that it affected Deniz's health, ultimately leading to their decision to leave the project. The PO subsequently claimed no Scrum Master was needed. Deniz reflects that sometimes the best option is to recognize when a situation cannot be changed and to move on. Self-reflection Question: What boundaries would you establish with a dominant Product Owner, and at what point would you decide that the situation cannot be improved?

Navigating Entitled Drivers, Cold Days, and Changing Traditions: A Humorous Take on Modern SocietyIn the energetic world of everyday interactions, humor becomes the balm that soothes the soul. Mike and Torya, hosts of "The Nightly Rant," blend sarcasm with wit to discuss societal quirks in their latest episode. The themes? A nostalgic return to baseball, the chaos of unruly drivers, and the everyday changes impacting their local region.Key TakeawaysRelishing the Sports Season: The joy of the baseball season re-energizes local communities, reminding us of the simple pleasures of enjoying a game at the ballpark.Navigating Traffic Madness: The bewildering behavior of drivers signals a broader societal issue: a pervasive sense of entitlement that can lead to dangerous situations.Adapting to Change: Observations at the ballpark reflect greater changes in society, from quirky dining options to unexpected weather patterns.Baseball is Back: Experiencing the MagicRebirth of the Baseball SeasonIt's that time of year again when baseball reignites the spirit of fans who flock to stadiums with refreshed enthusiasm. Mike exuberantly notes, "Baseball is back… big league weekend this weekend." The triumphant return of America's pastime marks a cherished ritual, encapsulating the seasonal transition and community bonding found only at the ballpark.In their nostalgic recount, Mike and Torya reminisce about witnessing a close call: "A's won the first game in nice fashion, 4 to 2… so it's 2 to 1." The meticulous recounting of these close scores underscores the tension and excitement that only live sports can offer. The broader implication? Baseball serves as a societal glue, uniting fans even during adversities like chilly weather and wind-whipped afternoons. Reflecting this, Torya humorously contends, "Yesterday was freezing cold," establishing the universal truth of weather's unpredictability during the spring season.A Transforming Experience at the BallparkWith the return of baseball comes the inevitable changes to the ballpark experience itself. Mike excitedly points out new culinary options: "They added lumpia… What a weird thing to eat at a ballpark. But they were delicious." This introduction of diverse food options indicates a shift towards accommodating varied tastes and attracting more visitors. The discussion illuminates how innovation permeates even the most traditional venues, enhancing the spectator experience.Moreover, alterations in vendor locations provoke Torya to recall, "They put stuff in strange places for big league weekend," reflecting a microcosm of larger societal shifts. Changes in consumer preferences and logistical decisions mirror the adaptability required in an ever-evolving world. It's a call to embrace novelty while cherishing tradition—a balance every modern institution, from sports ventures to businesses, must navigate.The Perils of Entitled DrivingDaily Observations of Driver BehaviorThe everyday absurdity of traffic provides ample fodder for comedic reflection. As Mike incredulously narrates, "They drive like entitled asshats. They drive like you owe them something." Such portrayals serve to emphasize the disconnect between common sense and the aggressive impatience exhibited by drivers on the road.Recurring recounts of perilous driving illustrate a deep-seated issue of recklessness and entitlement. In recounting an altercation in a parking lot, Mike shares, “I'm in a parking lot. I'm waiting to go into an empty parking space… this big… Ford truck pulls in… I'm yelling, you know, you bleeping fool, what are you doing?" This anecdote opens the floor for a discussion on public safety hazards and roads becoming less about the journey and more about dodging chaos.Consequences and Community ImpactThe rampant disregard for traffic laws culminates in dangerous consequences, as highlighted by a tragic incident Mike and Torya discuss: "A person's dead as a result,… the street was closed." Such life-and-death situations underscore the critical importance of responsible driving—a topic of genuine concern that transcends humor.Their casual banter reveals the hidden tension echoing throughout society. Local officials can benefit from embracing strategic measures to combat this issue by advocating for safer road designs or enforcing stricter traffic regulations. The urgency of change is paramount, as the duo notes, “I'm shocked though that there aren't more accidents on that on-ramp,” illuminating an imminent need for vigilance and regulatory interventions.Coping with Change and ExpectationsShifts in Community DynamicsIn navigating the nuances of change, the pair reflect on changes seen at the ballpark as well as within their community. Mike's observation, "they're a kiosk, so the burger place is a kiosk… They just don't want to do it," hints at pivoting towards compact, efficient practices that can sustain both quality and demand in contemporary commerce.Transitional narratives are explored further as Torya seeks to understand how community employment is influenced; “What do the people who work at the ballpark do… in the offseason?" With changing economic landscapes and employment patterns, flexibility becomes essential for both individuals and businesses to thrive. Such insights underline an adaptable workforce capable of enduring occupational shifts, similar to how students might adjust between semesters.Embracing the UnexpectedMoreover, encounters at the ballpark and observations about the weather reveal underlying themes of unpredictability. As Mike exclaims, "The wind creates a feels like temperature, which makes it feel cold," acknowledging changing weather patterns while playfully chiding Dallas' erratic climate. Such remarks remind us of climate's persistent variability, encouraging a mindset that remains ready for sudden shifts and surprises.In light of becoming adaptable, the overarching narrative from this episode is to embrace the humor that rises amidst uncertainty. The quirky dialogues and exchanges propose resilience through comedic reflection, as societal norms are questioned, discarded, or unexpectedly reaffirmed. It's the methodological embrace of humor demonstrating that despite life's spontaneities, one profitable course of action always involves laughter.In this spirited analysis, Mike and Torya prompt viewers to seek lessons amidst everyday comedies—from baseball fields to highways. As the pair narrates their episodes of banter, sarcasm, and candid truths, their connective tales lend audiences a signature antidote—that in facing the whirlwind of change, humor can buoy the soul and sustain the heart.

Welcome back to Pushing the Limits for another insightful episode. Today, we dive into Kaatsu Training with Sandy Nelson, exploring how this blood flow restriction technique boosts bone density, muscle growth, and brain health for older adults and athletes. Key Points: Research suggests Kaatsu Training helps older adults with osteopenia by improving bone density. It seems likely that Kaatsu Training increases IGF-1 and BDNF, supporting muscle and brain health. The evidence leans toward Kaatsu Training offering neuroprotection, likely via BDNF. Kaatsu Training appears to enhance athlete performance, aiding recovery and strength. What is Kaatsu Training? Kaatsu Training, also known as Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training, is a method where special bands partially restrict blood flow to the limbs during exercise. This creates a hypoxic environment in the muscles, promoting growth and strength with lighter loads. It was developed in Japan by Dr. Yoshiaki Sato and is used for both rehabilitation and performance enhancement. Benefits for Older Adults and Osteopenia For older adults, Kaatsu Training can help combat osteopenia, a condition with low bone density. Studies suggest it can maintain or increase bone density, reducing fracture risk and supporting mobility, especially for those with joint issues like osteoarthritis. Its low-impact nature makes it suitable, allowing strength gains without excessive joint stress. Impact on IGF-1, BDNF, and Neuroprotection Research indicates Kaatsu Training increases Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), vital for muscle and bone health, and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), important for brain health. This likely contributes to neuroprotection, potentially reducing neurodegenerative disease risk by supporting cognitive function. Benefits for Athletes For athletes, Kaatsu Training can enhance performance by improving muscle strength and hypertrophy with lighter weights. It can also aid recovery by promoting growth hormones, reducing muscle damage, and allowing more frequent, intense training, benefiting Olympians and professional athletes.

In this chilling breakdown of the Karen Read case, psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott helps unpack why average people have transformed into digital crusaders—camping outside courthouses, harassing witnesses, and clinging to narratives that might never be proven. What is it about this case that triggers such intense tribal loyalty? And how do internet echo chambers create alternate realities with devastating real-world consequences? From the psychology of conspiracies to the shady behavior of investigators, this conversation exposes how modern true crime isn't just about guilt or innocence—it's about identity. #karenread #karenreadtrial #johnokeefe #shavaunscott #truecrimepodcast #conspiracytheories #massachusettscrime #hiddenkillers #tonybruski #psychologyandcrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

All the colours of the rainbow, plus oneResearchers have fired lasers directly into the eye to stimulate photoreceptors, and produce the perception of a colour that does not exist in nature. They describe it as a “supersaturated teal,” and hope the technique will allow them to better understand colour vision and perhaps lead to treatments for vision problems. Austin Roorda has been developing this technology using mirrors, lasers and optical devices. He is a professor of Optometry and Vision Science at University of California, Berkeley. The study was published in the journal Science Advances.Following in the footsteps of an ancient ankylosaurPaleontologists have found fossil footprints of an armoured dinosaur in the Canadian Rockies that fill in a critical gap in the fossil record. The footprints belonged to a club-tailed ankylosaur about five to six metres long, and are the first evidence of this type of dinosaur living in North America in a period known as the middle Cretaceous. The research was led by Victoria Arbour, curator of paleontology at the Royal B.C. Museum, and published in the journal Vertebrate Paleontology.Did the Neanderthals die from sunburn?Neanderthals disappeared 40,000 years ago, and new research suggests this corresponds to a period of weakness in the Earth's magnetic field that allowed an increase in the solar radiation reaching the surface. Researchers think they have evidence that modern humans were able to protect themselves from the sun better than Neanderthals could, and this might have contributed to the Neanderthal extinction. Raven Garvey is an anthropologist at the University of Michigan. Her team's research was published in the journal Science. Cloudy with a chance of ammonia mushballsNew observations and models of activity within Jupiter's stormy atmosphere is giving a weather report for the giant planet, and it's pretty extreme. Most interestingly, researchers predict conditions that could lead to violent lightning storms producing softball sized frozen ammonia “mushballs” that would rain through the upper atmosphere. The research was led by Chris Moeckel, a planetary scientist and aerospace engineer at the University of California-Berkeley Space Sciences Laboratory, and was published in the journal Science Advances.Shattering heat records: climate change is turning out to be worse than expectedIn the last few years, we've seen global temperatures rising faster, with more extreme localized heatwaves, than climate models predicted. Climate scientists are trying to understand this by investigating the underlying factors behind these heating trends. Richard Allan, from the University of Reading in the U.K., was expecting a larger than normal rise in global temperatures due to natural fluctuations, but global temperatures in 2023 and 2024 were much higher than expected. Their recent study in the journal Environmental Research Letters found a growing imbalance in the earth's heat system, with increasingly more heat coming in than leaving, in large part due to changes we've seen in global cloud cover.This global heating is not happening evenly around the world. Kai Kornhuber, from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Austria and Columbia Climate School in New York, found regional hotspots that are experiencing unexpected extreme heat, likely due to a combination of factors. That study is in the journal PNAS.

// Clemens will bei einem Lauf über 80 Kilometer in den belgischen Wäldern starten. Eine krasse Herausforderung. Aber wenige Tage vor dem Rennen stolpert er über die japanische Misogi-Philosophie, in der alles, was mehr als 50 Prozent Erfolgschancen hat, keine richtige Herausforderung ist. Also entscheidet er sich kurzerhand, auf die doppelte Distanz zu gehen: 260 Kilometer, ein Wahnsinn. Über diesen Wahnsinn spreche ich mit Clemens. Es geht um das Warum hinter extremen Challenges, seine Ängste und Sehnsüchte und um den Prozess des sich selbst Zerstörens und wieder Aufbauens. Wir sprechen aber auch über Clemens' letzten Wettkampf, bei dem er aus einem ganz besonderen Grund scheiterte.

Have you ever noticed how when you're trying to change something about yourself, you often swing from one extreme to the other before finding balance? This fascinating pattern is what I call "the pendulum effect" in coaching. Just like a physical pendulum that swings back and forth before settling in the middle, our behaviors and beliefs often follow this same trajectory when we're working on personal growth.   The beauty of understanding this pendulum effect is that it helps normalize what can otherwise feel like an uncomfortable or even alarming process. Today, I'm sharing how to recognize this pattern in yourself and your clients, why it happens naturally, and how you can intentionally use this concept to create powerful transformations.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/232

Send us a text! (add your email to get a response)We all know those moments—when everything feels either perfect or disastrous, when someone is either completely trustworthy or utterly toxic. "All-or-nothing," "black-and-white," or dichotomous thinking, shapes our relationships, political views, and self-perception in profound ways. But where does this all-or-nothing approach come from, and why is it so hard to escape?In this episode, we dive deep into the surprising evolutionary purpose behind rigid thinking patterns. Far from simply being a cognitive flaw, black and white thinking often emerges as a survival mechanism for those who've experienced trauma or instability. The problem arises when we carry these protective patterns into everyday life, relationships, and social media interactions where complexity is essential.We explore how dichotomous thinking manifests differently across various conditions—from personality disorders where it permeates every interaction to PTSD where it might remain confined to specific triggers. We share personal examples, research findings, and practical strategies for recognizing when you've fallen into extreme thinking. Then, we outline the evidence-based strategies for breaking free of the extremes of dichotomous thinking.Whether you're dealing with a loved one who sees the world in absolutes or noticing this pattern in yourself, we understand why our brains crave certainty and how embracing the gray areas might be the key to deeper connections and better mental health. We offer both compassion for why we develop these patterns and concrete tools for finding your way back to nuance.Resources:Bonfá‐Araujo, B., Oshio, A., & Hauck‐Filho, N. (2022).
