Today, Ali is talking to Zach and Alexandra French, the founders of the nonprofit organization The Surrogacy Foundation, whose mission "isn't just to raise funds, but to propel surrogacy into the mainstream." Zach and Alexandra share their entire family building story, from how they met and got together to having their first child without Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). They talk about what happened when Alexandra found a lump in her breast, and how they navigated her cancer diagnosis and treatment. They also talk about Alexandra's double mastectomy, and how they pivoted to surrogacy after her surgery. "My doctor said if we wanted to expand our family, I could no longer carry. We would have to turn towards surrogacy--because if i carried another child, my cancer would return," Alexandra says. They talk about all of the intricacies of surrogacy, from finding a match to navigating the legal side, and share what it was like when their next baby was finally born. They also talk about creating the Surrogacy Foundation and how they've raised more than $500,000 so far to help families in need. "At The Surrogacy Foundation we don't just raise money; we help families every step of the way," they say. "Because education is essential to accessibility, we provide state of the art education based on decades of experience in an easy-to-use format."For more, go to www.thesurrogacyfoundation.orgFollow on IG: @thesurrogacyfoundation TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: Breast cancer; chemotherapy; double mastectomy; trying to conceive; surrogacy; nonprofits; surrogacy grants; ARTEPISODE SPONSORS: BEAUTIFUL BIRD AND WORK OF ARTAli's Children's Book Series about IVF, IUI and Family Building Through Assisted Reproductive Technology https://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksThe latest book in the Work of ART series, “Beautiful Bird” tells the story of three parents, one incredible boy and a family built with love—and a little bit of science.Pre-orders are available now!

Dook Chase describes his childhood growing up inside the iconic Dooky Chase's Restaurant, where the back of house was his playground and the kitchen was always buzzing with energy. He discusses how his early work bussing tables and washing pots led him to fall in love with cooking under the watchful eye of his grandmother, Leah Chase. The chef shares how Hurricane Katrina reignited his passion for the family business, inspiring him to leave his finance career and help rebuild the restaurant as a symbol of hope for the New Orleans community. Dook explains how culinary school in Paris gave him the technical foundation and confidence to complement his family's traditions, helping him both preserve and innovate Creole dishes. He reflects on the meaning behind opening Chapter IV, a restaurant honoring the fourth generation of his family, where he experiments with modern twists on Southern classics. Dook celebrates the deep influence of the strong women in his life, including his wife Gretchen, and shares his excitement for Family Recipe Showdown, a new show that celebrates culinary heritage and cultural connection. He highlights the storytelling at the heart of the series, where families bond over beloved dishes and cook under pressure for host Octavia Spencer and her lineup of celebrity guests.

M.K. England discusses ROLL FOR ROMANCE, a second-chance queer romance about two teens whose in-world D&D characters fall in love, but in IRL things are more complicated.

COSMIC LOVE AT THE MULTIVERSE HAIR SALON: it's as much fun to read the book as it is to say the title! Author Annie Mare sat down with us to chat about this lovely romance about two women who fall in love while texting one another from five months apart.

When my daughter asked for a bean bag chair, I paused. Most are made with toxic textiles and synthetic foam—two major Household Repeat Offenders I explain in my book A to Z of D-Toxing and target in Ruan Living's 40-Day Home Detox. In this episode, I walk you through how I applied my Practical Nontoxic Living™ framework to find safer bean bag options—and how you can apply the same strategy to detox your furniture, bedding, and beyond. We'll talk about healthier fabrics like hemp, smarter filling options like kapok and buckwheat, and how to have meaningful (and effective!) conversations with family when they fall in love with a toxic option. If you're overwhelmed by what's safe and what's not, this episode will give you clarity, practical steps, and a mindset shift that makes detoxing your home a lot more doable.

Want to fall in love with your ADHD brain and make it work for you? Learn more about my patented program, Your ADHD Brain is A-OK Academy  here: programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup___People with ADHD are built for the future of work. While everyone else worries about AI taking over jobs, we're the ones who'll figure out what to do with it next.Muxin Li studied at UVA and Rice, but her real education came from following a winding path through anthropology, teaching, journalism, and now AI. Today, she's building tools designed to reduce cognitive overload and help people focus on what actually matters. Diagnosed with ADHD in business school after struggling through chaotic team meetings, Muxin brings a neurodivergent lens to the future of tech—one that sees ADHD not as a barrier, but as a design blueprint.In this episode, Muxin and Tracy explore why the traits we're told to tone down—intuition, creativity, nonlinear thinking—are exactly what the world needs more of. They dive into how ADHD brains connect dots in ways others can't, why we're naturally drawn to entrepreneurship (hello, 50-60% of founders), and how our bottom-up processing gives us superpowers in an AI-driven world.Muxin also shares a profound synchronicity experience that shifted her understanding of intuition, love, and possibility. From Carl Jung's scarab beetle to her own moment of cosmic clarity, she explores how tuning into that deeper intelligence might be the key to creating the future we actually want to live in. Plus, she breaks down the AI tools that are actually helping her manage the chaos of modern life—and previews Maestro, the project management tool she's building for brains like ours.Resources:Website: https://www.muxinli.com  X: https://x.com/muxin_li   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/muxinli Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Learn more by connecting with Tracy through Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, or visit adhdforsmartwomen.com.Are You Ready to Discover Your Brilliance?

This week, I'm bringing back a listener's favorite from the archive while I'm on a summer break, getting ready for Season 6. Jennifer Polt Robinson  joined me for a powerful conversation about self worth and reinvention. This one's just as relevant now as it was then. This episode originally aired as Episode 92 on April 6, 2022.   An Accidental Influencer When I stumbled upon this weeks' guest on Instagram I fell in love with her.. and I fell hard!    Her name is Jen Robinson, and I have a feeling you're going to fall in love with her, too.  She is equal parts motivational speaker, beauty expert, style coach and comedian.   After turning 50 this year and being constantly discouraged by the messages projected to women over 40, Jen set her intentions toward creating social media “playgrounds” that celebrate women. Not your daughter's blogger, Jen shares beauty and style tips from low end to luxe that are both accessible and hilarious. You will often find her rocking a CHANEL crossbody with her favorite thrifted camo jacket and scoffing at the notion of “age appropriateness.” She'll have you convinced that leopard print is INDEED a neutral, a pop of neon can amplify any outfit, and that the right coat can take your look from average to amazing—all while extolling the virtues of an oversized handbag (“a big bag makes your ass look smaller.”) A curator of all things fabulous—you can count on Jen to deliver the answers to your beauty and style questions with genuine honesty and her trademark sense of humor. Jen's individuality is her superpower and she's on a mission to help you find yours. If you want to learn more about Jen Robinson, get her style tips and follow her shameless antics, the best place to find her is on Instagram.

In this thought-provoking episode of the Productivity Smarts Podcast, host Gerald J. Leonard welcomes inclusive leadership strategist, executive coach, and author Mike Sealy to explore one of the biggest productivity blockers — your mindset. Drawing from his book Mindset Unlocked: How Leaders, Learners, and Dreamers Crush Self-Doubt and Unlock Their Potential, Mike shares actionable strategies for overcoming imposter syndrome, reframing failure, and thriving under pressure. Gerald and Mike dive into how fear of failure sabotages productivity, why bouncing forward is more powerful than bouncing back, and how resilience, emotional intelligence, and growth mindset transform both personal and professional success.

Send us a textRUN, EAT, DRINK, and Celebrate Jeff Galloway's 80th birthday with us!Jeff Galloway, famously known as "America's Coach" and Olympic athlete, is about to achieve something remarkable that no one else has done before – running marathons across eight decades of life. Now approaching his 80th birthday, Jeff shares his journey toward completing this historic milestone at the Honolulu Marathon this December.Behind this extraordinary achievement lies a deeply personal story of resilience. Jeff candidly discusses his recovery from heart failure and a heart attack, revealing how he adapted his renowned Run-Walk-Run method to accommodate his new cardiac reality. Starting with just three seconds of running at a time post-heart attack, he's now able to complete 13-mile training runs by carefully balancing short running segments with strategic walking breaks. His approach isn't just about survival – it's about thriving within new limitations while maintaining the mental benefits that made him fall in love with running decades ago.The Honolulu Marathon holds profound significance for Jeff beyond just being his eighth-decade marathon attempt. It's where he proposed to his wife Barbara nearly 50 years ago, where he stationed during his Navy service, and where he achieved one of his most memorable victories in 1974, defeating Olympic medalists Frank Shorter and Kenny Moore. Now, he's returning with a different goal – simply crossing the finish line while potentially setting a world record.Throughout our conversation, Jeff shares fascinating insights about running's evolutionary importance, explaining how movement shaped human brain development and continues to activate neural circuits that improve our attitude, energy levels, and problem-solving abilities. "Running is what enabled our species to survive," he explains. "When we run, we grow more brain cells and activate the parts of the brain that give us a better attitude, more energy, and the ability to overcome challenges."For those inspired by Jeff's journey, he's created an opportunity to join him in Hawaii through a special travel package that includes accommodations, pre and post-race celebrations, and his personal coaching. Whether you're a seasoned marathoner or curious beginner, Jeff's story reminds us all that the true power of running lies not in speed or distance, but in "staying in the game" through every decade of life.Find out more and connect with Jeff at www.jeffgalloway.com.

I give a behind-the-scenes look at what it's like to visit one of the Seven Wonders of the World, from the early morning bus ride to the awe-inspiring ruins perched high in the Andes.Whether you're dreaming of visiting Peru or curious about what it's like to travel with Intrepid, this episode is packed with practical travel tips, personal reflections, and inspiration to explore this incredible part of the world.

Send us a textThe rebellion's darkest hour becomes Star Wars' finest achievement in Andor Season 2's concluding episodes. We dive deep into how Tony Gilroy crafted a masterclass in tension, political intrigue, and character development that forever changes our understanding of the Star Wars universe.The Gorman massacre stands as perhaps the most haunting sequence ever created in Star Wars - a perfectly constructed trap that shows the Empire's ruthless calculus and leaves us questioning how we'd respond in similar circumstances. This leads to fascinating discussions about Syril Karn's moral journey: is his horror at witnessing genocide enough to redeem his previous actions, or does his confrontation with Dedra only further complicate his character?Mon Mothma emerges as the unexpected MVP of these episodes, delivering a Senate speech that rivals anything in the franchise for political tension. The procedural details - senators yielding their time, parliamentary maneuvers - create an authenticity rarely seen in science fiction. This groundwork makes her eventual leadership of the Rebellion all the more earned and meaningful.The Force makes its first significant appearance through the mysterious healer who identifies Cassian as a "messenger" - a subtle but powerful reminder that even in this grounded take on Star Wars, cosmic forces still guide the galaxy's fate. Meanwhile, Luthen's capture and Kleya's difficult decision to ensure he doesn't fall into Imperial hands delivers emotional devastation without feeling manipulative.Perhaps most satisfying is how perfectly these episodes connect to Rogue One, answering questions we didn't even know we had. From Cassian's pre-existing knowledge of Galen Erso to his partnership with the newly-reprogrammed K-2SO, every element enriches our understanding of his journey toward Scarif. The show demonstrates how prequels should function - not just filling gaps, but transforming our perspective on what comes after.Why does this series resonate so deeply? Because it never forgets that resistance requires sacrifice, that freedom fighters aren't always heroic, and that hope often comes at terrible cost. Andor depicts the messy, complicated birth of a rebellion with unflinching honesty - proving that Star Wars can deliver sophisticated adult storytelling without sacrificing what made us fall in love with this galaxy far, far away.Twitter handles:Project Geekology: https://twitter.com/pgeekologyAnthony's Twitter: https://twitter.com/odysseyswowDakota's Twitter: https://twitter.com/geekritique_dakInstagram:https://instagram.com/projectgeekology?igshid=1v0sits7ipq9yYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@projectgeekologyGeekritique (Dakota):https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwciIqOoHwIx_uXtYTSEbASupport the show

The Holy Evil War is getting ready to pop off, as we get a lot of world building from Griffith's apostle-infused side of the battle: He has giants, he has superpowered men, he has shadowy supernatural assassins, all set to...liberate Midland? He's trying to be the savior of the world, using his powers of The Prince of Longing to make his new subjects fall in love with him. Also, Farnesse has another existential crisis, but this one is full of hope and acceptance as she navigates her new purpose in life, and, for now, leaves the despair behind her.

Do you long to go deeper in your faith and help your children fall in love with Scripture — not just the stories, but the whole story?  Today Zach Windahl shares what led him to dedicate years to studying scripture. He emphasizes the importance of simplifying the Bible for others, particularly for those who feel overwhelmed or confused. After moving to Australia and enrolling in a transformative Bible study program, everything changed. He discovered how the entire Bible connects — from Genesis to Revelation — and how understanding Scripture through a Hebrew lens opens up a whole new depth of meaning. The Bible isn't random. Every story, every verse, every command points to Jesus. Here is some of what we cover:  Why modeling your faith matters more than preaching to your kids The difference between a Greek vs. Hebrew mindset when reading Scripture What to do when Christian culture and actual Jesus living don't align Connect with Zach Windahl:  Website:  Zach Windahl Facebook: Zach Windahl | Facebook Instagram:  Zach Windahl (@zachwindahl) Links Mentioned:   The Bible, Simplified: By Zach Windahl The Bible Study: By Zach Windahl See the Good: By Zach Windahl Practicing the Way: By John Mark Comer Revolutionary Parenting: By George Barna Zach Windahl – The Brand Sunday Related Episodes: Consistency in Bible Study :: Katie Orr [Ep 352] Every Mom a Theologian :: Phylicia Masonheimer [Ep 389] Why Read the Entire Bible :: Tara Leigh Cobble [Ep 312] Featured Sponsors:  Thrive Causemetics: Try your new trusty favorites with an exclusive set for our listeners.

Speaking across the decades from the 1960s to the 2010s, Ram Dass shares his thoughts on the feeling of love and the path of the heart.Ram Dass Here & Now is brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/ramdass and get on your way to being your best self.This episode of Here and Now is a compilation of Ram Dass speaking about love and the path of the heart across the decades:We begin in 1969, with Ram Dass talking about Maher Baba, whom he calls the personification of pure love. He describes a particularly powerful LSD trip where he gained insight into the true nature of love. He says, “I now conceive of the fact that falling in love means like falling into a bathtub of love.”We move on to 1979, with Ram Dass addressing the Christian Community of San Francisco. He describes the different stages of falling in love and talks about the devotional nature of the path of the heart. “And that's one of your predicaments,” he says, “that when you really fall in love, it just opens and opens and opens, and you just don't know where to hold on anymore.” The next stop is 1986, with Ram Dass touching on conditional love and the deprivation model we've been working with all our lives. He digs deeper into the different stages of love and talks about the need to give up the deprivation model. He says, “You change from the deprivation model to the model where there's an abundance of [love].” We fast forward to the 1990s, with Ram Dass reading from the I Ching about the path of love and the path of the heart. He talks about how we are hungry ghosts who get addicted to the method of love, but all methods are traps. “And yet,” he says, “the bizarre thing about methods is they don't work unless you get trapped.”Finally, we end in 2017, with Ram Dass telling a delicious story about loving everything, including a rug with spots on it. He talks about how judgment is in the mind, but love is in the heart. “I don't judge,” he says. “But if I do judge, I love it.”The Ram Dass community gathers regularly to engage in meaningful discussions about the podcast.

And we say, as a result, ‘I am in love with you.' Another way of saying it is, ‘You turn me on to the place in myself where I am love, where I can't get to without you.' Now we're talking about you being my connection to that place in myself where I am love, where I can't get without you. And then I want to hold on to my connection, just as any good junkie would like to do.” – Ram DassSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's just Kevin and Lauren this week and they came prepared. They talk about Life of Chuck, Cleaner, Materialists, The Swarm, and Equals. Lauren kicks off the show with a largely positive review of the new Mike Flanagan/Stephen King joint, The Life of Chuck. Putting those two men together you'd think this would be a horror fest, but it's a poignant film about a man's life. Early comparisons were drawn to The Shawshank Redemption, but Lauren feels this movie doesn't quite have that same depth. All in all, it's still a good movie and worth a watch. Speaking of good movies, Kevin didn't bother to watch any this. Instead, he kicks off his first of two “I watched it so you didn't have to” segments with Cleaner on MAX. This is Die Hard clone that lacks much of the DNA that made that film great. It's not necessarily a bad film, but you'd do better with the OG. It stars Daisy Ridley as a former soldier turned window cleaner who gets stuck outside her building when eco terrorists take over. She's forced to battle her way back inside (which takes far too long) so that she can save the day because, of course, the entire police force is unable to breach the building. Look, it's better than Skyscraper, so there's that… We flip back to goodness with Lauren's review of Materialists, starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and some guy named Pedro Pascal. It's a love story and billed as a RomCom, though Lauren and Kevin discuss the fact that it's less funny and more thoughtful than most, leaving it a bit in the ratings limbo. Folks going to see a Failure to Launch type movie are coming out disappointed. That said, it's a really good movie about love and self discovery and is well worth a watch. Just go in with more grounded expectations. Let's talk about expectations for a second. Have you ever seen the trailer or poster for something ad said to yourself, “that's going to suck”? A wise person would not watch said offering. But Kevin has no fear. On HBO, he came across the series The Swarm and it's… well… not good. It's not about a killer swarm of bees. That would make sense. It's about an underwater hive mind turning everything in the ocean against humanity. Think The Abyss, but globally, and much, much worse. At its core, it ends up being a neat concept but a very poor offering overall. Getting into the spirit, Lauren closes the show with a review of the film, Equals. It stars Nicolas Holt and Kristen Stewart and that's about where the good part ends. It's a futuristic society where people have been stripped of emotion and if you develop emotions, you get wiped. Our two stars develop emotions (obviously) and fall in love (obviously-er) which leads to them struggling to escape this world so they can be together. It ends on a semi tragic, semi vague note that leaves you wondering, “why did I do this?” As always, thank you for watching. If you haven't already, don't forget to Like & Subscribe. We love new viewers! Also, leave us comments and let is know how we are doing and what we can be doing better. Enjoy the episode and have a great week!

Send us a textWhen walls come down between believers, supernatural freedom breaks out. That's exactly what happened during night two of our Together Conference 2025 with Pastor Stephen Watkins delivering a powerful message about unity that transcends denominational lines.The early Christians would have been puzzled by our modern question, "Where do you go to church?" They understood themselves as the church—not attendees of an organization but embodiments of a living community. They did life together daily, breaking bread in homes, sharing resources, and growing in faith as one body. Pastor Stephen challenged us to recapture this authentic togetherness that defined the first followers of Jesus.What divides us today? Often it's our tendency to elevate our denominational identity above our identity in Christ. When church traditions become idols—things we worship and defend more fiercely than Jesus himself—we've missed the point entirely. As one team member shared from personal experience, exposure to different church environments through his grandparents' gospel group taught him that "God is moving all over the place," not confined to one congregation or style of worship.Human nature pulls us toward tribal thinking. From school age, we gravitate toward like-minded people, creating comfortable circles that often exclude those who think, act, or worship differently. But the most meaningful relationships frequently emerge when we cross these self-imposed boundaries. Several podcast members shared stories of unexpected friendships that never would have formed if they'd remained in their natural social groups—friendships that have become life-giving connections.The beautiful revelation? When believers from different backgrounds come together, we discover we have far more in common than we have differences. The Together Conference itself demonstrated this truth, with eight different churches represented in unified worship and purpose. As one participant observed, "The more you fall in love with Jesus, the more you fall in love with all kinds of different walks of life."Ready to experience the freedom that comes from breaking down walls between believers? Join us for the final night of the Together Conference and discover the supernatural power released when God's people unite as one body, just as Jesus prayed we would.

In part two of our series on the legendary French soldier Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, we witness the rise of a humble soldier as he climbs the ranks of the newly established national military during the early days of the French Revolution. After famine ravaged the population, France was in turmoil and hungry for change, leading the people to overthrow their king and establish the first democratic nation in modern Europe. Soon, Austria threatened to crush the French uprising, and Alexandre's battalion was stationed in a small town in the French countryside. It was there that he would fall in love—and despite being a person of color in a time when racism was still rampant—he was granted the hand of his beloved. But the French Revolution was only in its infancy, and Alexandre would soon be called upon to help command France's first all-Black legion of soldiers. Tune in for part two of Alexandre Dumas to learn more! (Ep. 056)

#1 New York Times bestselling author, Jodi Picoult, spoke with me about writing for Wonder Woman, adapting books for musical theater, and the question of Shakespeare's true authorship in her upcoming novel BY ANY OTHER NAME. Jodi Picoult is the bestselling author of 30 novels, including landmark titles such as Mad Honey – her most recent 1 million-copy bestseller – Wish You Were Here, A Spark of Light, and Small Great Things. 40 million copies of her books are in print worldwide and have been translated into 34 languages. Her forthcoming novel is BY ANY OTHER NAME (on sale 8/20; Ballantine), described as a novel about two women, centuries apart – one of whom is the real author of Shakespeare's plays – who are both forced to hide behind another name. #1 New York Times bestselling author Kristin Hannah said of the book, “You'll fall in love with Emilia Bassano, the unforgettable heroine based on a real woman that Picoult brings vividly to life in her brilliantly researched new novel.” Elle called it, “[An] inspiring work of feminist literature inspired by real historical accounts.” Jodi was also co-librettist for the stage musical adaptation of her young adult novel Between the Lines (which premiered Off-Broadway in Summer 2022), the co-librettist of the musical BREATHE, the co-librettist of the musical adaptation of The Book Thief, and she is currently at work on an adaptation of Austenland.

In episode 304 of Business Coaching Secrets, hosts Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive into the “rules of money” every business coach must know, why being new in a market can be your superpower, and the realities behind popular business myths. The episode combines practical financial wisdom with actionable strategies for business coaches seeking lasting growth and wealth—while reminding listeners that higher-level thinking trumps shortcuts, and focusing on product is the ultimate accelerator. Key Topics Covered The Weight of Local Celebrity and the Power of “New” Karl Bryan compares the pressure faced by athletes like Mitch Marner in their hometowns to the challenges coaches feel when becoming “local legends.” Being new in a market is reframed as a hidden advantage—fresh faces wield a psychological “superpower” that can accelerate growth, provided coaches leverage it rather than fear it. Rules of Money for Business Coaches Money is fundamentally “a game of doubles”—constantly look for trajectories to double investments, whether in marketing, skills, or assets. Compounding is a key driver: marginal utility and small improvements across many areas trigger outsized, accelerated results. Patience and “aggressive patience”: real wealth (for you and your clients) is built by “hurrying up and waiting” rather than chasing quick wins or lotteries. Taxes and fees are often ignored but are the #1 expense for most people and require intentional, strategic management. Product, Sales, and Marketing Mastery Success flows from being excellent at your product first—if your service delivers, sales and marketing get dramatically easier. Sales is one-to-one, marketing is one-to-many, but “product” is what truly solves the problem and generates lasting referrals. The classic principle: “You can't sell or market your way out of a bad product.” Standing Against Popular Business Myths Myths like passive income, four-hour workweeks, and “do what you love and make millions” are unpacked as misleading for most coaches. Instead, the actionable advice is to become extremely good at your craft, focus on profit margins, and fall in love with what you do best. Selecting Ideal Coaching Clients Your ideal client is “you, five years ago,” and those with strong profit margins. Focus on helping highly coachable, successful people, not just anyone willing to pay. Beware of spreading yourself thin with multiple streams of income before your main business is thriving. Notable Quotes “Being new is like a superpower—like new, sex, and chocolate.” “Money is a game of doubles… have a path to turn $1,000 into $2,000.” “You can't sell and market your way out of a bad product.” “Needing nothing attracts everything.” “If you buy stuff, you end up with stuff. Not needing something is the same as having it.” “If you can sell, you can't coach. If you can coach, you can't sell.” “Play big. The anxiety isn't from overwhelm—it's from knowing you're capable of more.” Actionable Takeaways Leverage Your “Newness”: Don't be afraid to enter new markets; position yourself as the fresh expert to stand out and attract attention. Focus on Doubling and Compounding: Aim to double the outcomes of every investment—financial, time, or client results. Teach your clients about the magic of compounding: small, smart improvements in multiple areas add up fast. Be Aggressively Patient: “Hurry up and wait”—apply urgency in action, but patience in expecting results. Master Your Product: Strive to be the absolute best and (eventually) the only choice in your niche. Constantly refine your coaching deliverables and operating systems to make getting clients effortless by reputation and results. Prioritize the Right Clients: Go after highly coachable, growth-minded, and profitable clients—ideally, those you were like 5 years ago. Challenge “Feel-Good” Myths: Don't get distracted by gimmicks promising fast wins or easy lifestyles. Focus on skill-building, operational leverage, and real profitability. Understand Your Real Expenses: Taxes, fees, and interest are the true drains on wealth—work with pros and educate yourself to minimize them for you and your clients.

We continue our Pride Month series with the 2005 lesbian spy rom-com, D.E.B.S. This gem of a movie, directed by Angela Robinson, is the story of a super hot super spy and a super hot super villain who meet and fall in love. Underrated in its time, but finding new popularity in recent years, D.E.B.S. is the kind of funny, silly girl movie we wish there were more of. How this didn't launch a whole subgenre is beyond us!

The Atlantic's editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg talks to Ken Casey, frontman for the Celtic punk band Dropkick Murphys, about the time he called out a fan in the audience who was wearing a MAGA shirt. The band has been around for three decades and has its working-class roots in Quincy, Massachusetts. At concerts, the band often dedicates its song “First Class Loser” to Donald Trump, and it sells T-shirts that say “Fighting Nazis since 1996.” Goldberg speaks with Casey about watching his fans and people he loves fall in love with Trump, and about how Democrats might be able to win them back.

Want to fall in love with your ADHD brain and make it work for you? Learn more about my patented program, Your ADHD Brain is A-OK Academy  here: programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup___What if your doctor could prescribe a fishing group instead of another medication? A birdwatching club for your anxiety. An art class for your depression. Welcome to social prescribing—a healthcare movement that's changing how we think about healing by focusing on connection, not just pills.Julia Hotz is a journalist and author of The Connection Cure, the first book to explore the science behind social prescribing. As someone who recognizes herself in ADHD symptoms—the scattered attention, the 10,000 browser tabs, the plates left out for days—she's discovered something fascinating: when do we feel our symptoms the least?In this conversation, Julia and Tracy dive into why ADHD brains are particularly sensitive to loneliness and disconnection, and how social prescriptions can be game-changing. From Dave's fishing group that helped him overcome addiction and ADHD symptoms, to forest bathing backed by Japanese research, to bibliotherapy that eases anxiety, Julia shares real examples of how connection-based healing works.They explore attention restoration theory, why 20 minutes in nature can work as well as Ritalin, and how moving from "what's wrong with you" to "what matters to you" can transform everything. Julia shows us how giving our brains what they actually need—connection, nature, purpose—can help us thrive alongside traditional treatments.Resources: Website: https://www.hotzthoughts.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hotzthoughtsLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julia-hotz-06510161 Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Learn more by connecting with Tracy through Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, or visit adhdforsmartwomen.com.Are You Ready to Discover Your Brilliance?

“I think people forget that. I think they forget that there's a person behind the music and that they need to share that with their audience now more than ever, because if people hear your song and they like your song, they're gonna go down a rabbit hole. And if they can go down that hole and come across you being genuine, being authentic, actually showing vulnerability, they're gonna fall in love with you. They like the music, and they like you. That is the definition of a superfan.” – Andy Gesner This is the second half of my interview with owner and president of HIP Video Promo, Andy Gesner, as we talk about balancing AI content with human connection, his advice on setting yourself apart when it comes to social media, and the critical role that superfans play in building an audience.As always, if you have questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes.

(0:00:01) - Creating Visual Content for Music Promotion“For the first four or five years, music videos really were reserved for those who were either well-moneyed or had backing,” Andy says as we start the second half of our conversation. “All of a sudden, there was this platform called YouTube, and of course, we jumped right on it.” He tells us more about that transition between the MTV era and today's streaming content, and his advice to clients about the limits of AI content creation. “I have always told clients, ‘Yes, no issues with an AI video, but sport, don't follow up your AI video with another AI video,'” he explains. “The best way to get to the next level and get to those thousand superfans… You have to make a human connection.”(0:10:46) - Music Promotion Strategies and PhilosophyHe tells us about his work helping musicians cross the bridge to social media promotion and engaging with their fans, and how much work it can be for creatives who aren't naturally outgoing. “They don't appreciate sometimes that they are public figures,” he tells us, “and that they need to be doing the things their less talented, much more lazy competition are not going to do.” Andy warns us, however, against losing sight of what's important in the rush for more engagement. “Everybody's concerned about the follower count,” he says. “And they're upset that the YouTube view count is low and they want to know how to get the streams up, and they're concerned about how many subscribers they have... I'm finding they are forgetting about the song. You've got to be focused on your song.”(0:26:37) - Promoting Artistic Encouragement and SupportAs our conversation comes to a close, Andy tells us about some of his latest projects, including one particularly unlikely new pop star. “We're working on an unusual project,” he explains. “Her name is Gwen, and she's dead. In fact, Gwen isn't even real. She is the star of a new streaming television program.” He tells us how listeners can get in touch, whether it's Instagram, YouTube, or even a plain old phone call. “If you love your job,” Andy says, “you never work a day in your...

D drive…more like double d drive. Bazonga.exe! I'm not going to do any more computer puns in the episode description because, frankly, it's not what the episode is about. And that makes it a disservice to you, the listener, and a distraction to everything going on in the world today. So I'll simply say that on this episode we talk about some Kickstarters that are pretty interesting on their own, but really get taken up a couple of notches with some of the signature banter between Mike and JF, and, most likely, Producer Dan as well. They talk about beer, golf, smart locks, Will Smith, and who knows else! It's just that kind of crazy episode. And oh yeah by the way, I am going to RAM my computer.
