This episode is brought to you by Caldera Lab and WHOOP. Today we sit down with interior designer, TV host, and wellness advocate Sabrina Soto to explore how our homes profoundly shape our mental health, nervous system, relationships, and sense of identity. Sabrina shares her deeply personal journey—from growing up in chaos and creating a safe haven as a teenager, to landing her first HGTV role through a Craigslist ad—and explains why design isn't about trends or perfection, but alignment. This episode explores the emotional weight of clutter, how environment influences cortisol and stress, why small changes can create massive life shifts, and how designing your space is ultimately about designing the life you want to live—one intentional step forward at a time.

George DeCosta entertains and educates us with training tips and techniques and the importance of forging a bond with your dog as the key to unlocking greatness in you both. We'll trade hunting stories, talk about the magic of Wirehaired Pointing Griffons, delve deep into what motivates your dog, how to "read" your dog to know when he's confused or disobedient, and why timing is everything when giving commands and corrections.  George will advise us on helping a dog that won't retrieve during a hunting situation, tell a few more hunting stories, and offer sage advice on when a hunt should be over. "Fix It" lists a few locations that may provide one more snow-free hunt, and I've polled your dogs and they're brutally honest on how you're doing this season. Get George's books here.

In this episode of The Impostor Syndrome Files, we talk about why authenticity is overrated and what to do instead. My guest this week is Dr. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, psychologist, professor, Chief Science Officer at Russell Reynolds Associates and author of the new book Don't Be Yourself. Tomas argues that it's not raw authenticity that makes you a good leader. Great leaders care deeply about what others think of them. They leverage their emotional intelligence and engage in strategic impression management, which leads them to come across as more authentic and trustworthy to others. Tomas believes that instead of bringing our authentic selves to work, we should focus on being our best selves.We also explore concepts from Tomas' book Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders (And How to Fix It), including a look at how we overvalue confidence and undervalue competence. We examine what DEI got wrong, how gender bias holds women back, and how AI can help us create more meritocratic systems. About My GuestTomas Chamorro-Premuzic is the Science Officer at Russell Reynolds Associates, a professor of business psychology at University College London and at Columbia University, a cofounder of Deeper Signals, and an associate at Harvard's Entrepreneurial Finance Lab. He is the author of several books, including Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders? (and How to Fix It), upon which his popular TEDx talk was based, and I, Human: AI, Automation, and the Quest to Reclaim What Makes Us Unique.~Connect with Tomas:Website: https://drtomas.com/Book: https://www.amazon.com/Dont-Be-Yourself-Authenticity-Overrated/dp/1647829836  (or if you have a preferred bookseller - bookshop, Barnes & Noble)~Connect with Kim and The Impostor Syndrome Files:Join the free Impostor Syndrome Challenge:https://www.kimmeninger.com/challengeLearn more about the Leading Humans discussion group:https://www.kimmeninger.com/leadinghumansgroupJoin the Slack channel to learn from, connect with and support other professionals: https://forms.gle/Ts4Vg4Nx4HDnTVUC6Join the Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/leadinghumansSchedule time to speak with Kim Meninger directly about your questions/challenges: https://bookme.name/ExecCareer/strategy-sessionConnect on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimmeninger/Website:https://kimmeninger.com

We're kicking off a brand-new year-long emphasis on one of the most overlooked yet emotionally loaded areas of the home: storage rooms. Whether your storage space is a basement, garage, guest room, attic, or an off-site unit, these areas often hold delayed decisions, inherited items, unfinished projects, and emotional weight we don't even realize we're carrying.In today's episode, Stephanie shares why 2026 is dedicated to storage, how this focus evolved from the popular Fix It or Free It series, and why storage rooms deserve thoughtful attention—grounded in research, psychology, and real-life client experiences.

As we gear up for the new year, we step back and look at the four Perpetual Traffic episodes you listened to the most in the past year and what they reveal about where digital marketing is actually headed. The selected episodes explain why AI-powered customer conversations are being underused and how Advantage+ quietly removed real targeting control.We also break down why most attribution data is misleading, even with CAPI, and what Meta's massive AI investments mean for marketers and small businesses moving forward. Each episode highlights a different failure point we see inside ad accounts every day: wasted spend, false confidence in platform data, and missed opportunities to turn engagement into revenue.If you want to understand what really worked in 2025 and what will matter most going into 2026, this episode ties it all together.In This Episode:- Episode #4: Using AI to convert customer conversations- Episode #3: Advantage+ and loss of targeting control- Episode #2: CAPI vs attribution with Tier 11's Data Suite- Episode #1: DeepSeek and the future of advertising - Final thoughts and episode wrap-upFeatured Episodes:DeepSeek Explained: What Marketers Need to Know: https://youtu.be/Ai9fJx41cK0 Why Your Marketing Tracking Sucks (Even If You Think It Doesn't) and How to Fix It: https://youtu.be/SxUaKkz-5Ok How Meta Ads Are Changing Forever: Advantage+ & cAPI Subterfuge Revealed: https://youtu.be/V4vAn65Y6nI How Meta Ads Manager Is Lying to You & What You Can Do About It: https://youtu.be/kZFiQezrv00 Listen to This Episode on Your Favorite Podcast Channel:Follow and listen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/perpetual-traffic/id1022441491 Follow and listen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/59lhtIWHw1XXsRmT5HBAuK Subscribe and watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@perpetual_traffic?sub_confirmation=1We Appreciate Your Support!Visit our website: https://perpetualtraffic.com/ Follow us on X: https://x.com/perpetualtraf Connect with Ralph Burns: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ralphburns Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ralphhburns/ Hire Tier11 - https://www.tiereleven.com/apply-now Connect with Lauren Petrullo:Instagram -

Max and Luniel co-authors of the book - "Ready: Why Most Software Projects Fail and How to Fix It", discuss the concept of Readiness in software engineering with host Brijesh Ammanath. While Agile workflows and technical practices help delivery, many software efforts still struggle to achieve desired outcomes. Rework, shifting requirements, delays, defects, and mounting technical debt plague software delivery and impede or altogether halt progress toward goals. The problem is often that implementation begins prematurely, before the team is properly set up for success. A strict system of explicit readiness work and gating, called Requirements Maturation Flow (RMF), solves this problem in a SDLC-independent way. Teams that have adopted RMF dramatically improve progress toward real goals while reducing stress on engineering teams. In this podcast, Max and Luniel deep dive into Requirements Maturation Flow (RMF) and explain its foundational pillars. Objective - Understand why most software projects fail, what causes rework, under-delivery and delays. What is Requirements Maturation Flow and its 3 foundational practices? Understanding the value of having Readiness as a explicit work item Understanding Definition of Done Understanding Definition of Ready Brought to you by IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Software magazine.

“Why can't I just feel happier… when my life is actually good?”If you've asked yourself some version of this question - it isn't a gratitude problem,it's not a mindset failure,and it's not that you're “bad at joy.”It's what's happening in your physiology. Chronically elevated cortisol can quietly shift your nervous system into survival mode — and when that happens, joy becomes neurologically inaccessible, even when good things are happening.In this episode, we unpack:✔️ The science of high cortisol and low mood — and why stress chemistry blunts pleasure ✔️ The subtle, real-life signs your nervous system is blocking joy for protection ✔️ Why “choosing joy” and mindset work often fall flat when your body is overwhelmed ✔️ How somatic, body-based practices help your system feel safe enough to receive goodness again ✔️ Simple ways to start softening stress so joy can come back onlineThis conversation isn't about forcing happiness.It's about removing the physiological blocks that keep joy out of reach.Because joy isn't something you create with effort.It's something your body allows when it feels safe.If you've felt flat, disconnected, or like everything is just “one more thing to get through,” this episode will feel validating — and gently hopeful.Your nervous system isn't broken.It's been protecting you.And with the right support, it can learn how to soften again — so you can actually feel the life you're living.Related Episodes:Previous Episode4 Signs You're Addicted to Cortisol (and How to Fix It)5 Habits I Stopped Doing to Heal My Nervous System & Balance My Cortisol4 Ways to Foster Joy in Our FamiliesTake 2 Minutes: Boost Your Joy with Daily Gratitude Practices Backed by Science with Marc Fussell-- Burnout Recovery Blueprint starts again in January - check it out!

Season seven of the Grow Your B2B SaaS podcast centered on one core ambition: how to grow from early validation at 10K MRR to meaningful scale at 10M ARR. Across the season, founders, operators, and leaders shared practical guidance on product-market fit, hiring, go-to-market systems, partnerships, pricing, revenue operations, community, expansion revenue, and more. This summary distills their insights as shared in the episodes—nothing theoretical, nothing added beyond what they discussed—into a single, coherent narrative designed to help you focus, execute, and build momentum.From the outset, the thesis is clear. There are patterns you'll hear repeatedly—focus, alignment, ICP clarity, hiring for stage-fit, segmentation, community, and systems. There are also points of debate that reflect the realities of stage and context. What follows is a structured walkthrough of the advice discussed in the season, episode by episode, following the journey from 10K MRR through the climb toward 10M ARR.Season 7 Full Episode listS7E1: How to Build SaaS Partnerships That Actually Drive Revenue with KaraLynn LewisS7E2: Why 80% of Outbound Sales Fails, and How to Fix It with Besnik VrellakuS7E3: Building SaaS Partnerships That Actually Drive Revenue with Hugo PereiraS7E4: Why Your SaaS GTM Isn't Working And How to Fix It with Operational Discipline with Garrath RobinsonS7E5: B2B SaaS Sales Growth: Outbound Strategies to Scale Revenue with Joey GilkeyS7E6: How is AI Transforming Go To Market for B2B SaaS with Maja VojeS7E7: Why Human Psychology Still Wins in B2B SaaS Sales (Even in the Age of AI) with Desiree-Jessica PelyS7E8: Building a Community-Led Growth Engine for SaaS with Michelle GoodallS7E9: The Future of SaaS Content: AI, Personal Branding, and Authority with Tommy WalkerS7E10: Scaling SaaS Sales: From Founder-Led to High-Performance Teams with Kevin “KD” DorseyS7E11: How to Use Signal-Based Selling to Drive Efficient SaaS Growth with Shoaib G.M.S7E12: SaaS Pricing Strategy 2026: Hybrid Models, AI Costs & Value-Based Pricing with Tjitte JoostenS7E13: Building a Global SaaS GTM: Cultural Nuances, Local Teams & Expansion with Varun ThambaS7E14: Scaling SaaS in 2026: AI Adoption, Pricing Shifts & Efficient Growth with Romy Kotler-de GrootS7E15: SaaS Monetization in 2026: Tiering, Usage, AI Add-Ons & Pricing Experiments with Krzysztof SzyszkiewiczS7E16: SaaS GTM in 2026: AI, Hybrid Sales & High-Performance Revenue Engines with Richard SchenzelS7E17: How PLG Will Change in 2026: AI Agents, Onboarding & Hybrid GTM with Roelof OttenS7E18: Preparing Your SaaS for an Exit: Valuation Drivers, Buyers & Metrics That Matter with René de JongS7E19: How SaaS GTM Will Change in 2026: Thought Leadership, Intent Signals & AI-Powered Growth with Glenn MiseroyS7E20: How SaaS Companies Will Scale in 2026: GTM Efficiency, RevOps, and Word-of-Mouth Growth with Koen StamS7E21: How AI Will Rewrite SaaS GTM in 2026: Pricing, Efficiency & Sales Automation with Jacco van der Kooij

Note that this is from a video essay published on YouTube here.For over a year, I've been helping people send aid to Gaza via cryptocurrency because traditional banking systems have failed Palestinians. PayPal and GoFundMe freeze accounts, banks block transfers, and those that go through can take weeks or months. Cryptocurrency offers instant, censorship-resistant transfers that offer higher guarantees.This comprehensive guide covers three methods for sending crypto (SimpleSwap, Revolut, and zkP2P), how to avoid tax complications when fundraising, critical safety tips to prevent irreversible mistakes, and everything you need to know about wallets, networks, and the OTC desk system in Gaza.

Romanticizing aging might be the most powerful longevity tool you have and it costs absolutely nothing. In this episode, Chalene Johnson breaks down the science behind why your attitude about aging can literally add years to your life and explains how society quietly trains women to fear getting older. Drawing from research, real life examples, and her own mindset shift, Chalene reframes aging as a season of freedom, confidence, and increased happiness. This conversation is a wake up call for women who feel invisible, worn down, or stuck believing their best years are behind them.

Happy Holidays to all! ✨and thank you for waiting for us. We've just returned from a three month European‑style sabbatical. We feel rested, restored, and just smug enough to pretend this was all part of a carefully executed life plan. In truth, our “surprise” 50th Wedding Anniversary trip to Vienna, Austria was launched by Beauty & The Beast, a bathroom faucet, and Billy Joel. One stormy afternoon while playing Five Crowns, Billy Joel crooned Vienna through the Bose. Carmen tenderly took my hand and flashed "the look" – eyebrow arched, sideways smile, the one that makes me wonder if she's Elvis' secret love child. This look has ended arguments, redirected life plans, and once caused me to apologize for something I hadn't done yet. She said... "No more bloody knuckles for you. Let's do something crazy for our 50th wedding anniversary. In early Spring, we'll limp slowly up the coast to Vinnie's. His new place has secure Airstream storage. Then I grab our backpacks and call Uber, while you hand over the keys and that *gosh-darned Fix-It list. Thirty minutes later we're at the Sacramento airport heading toward our plane. Vinnie and Vienna! Whadda ya say?" She'd clearly been rehearsing this. Hey, 50 years of marriage is a big deal. Life has been good to us. We should celebrate. Fifty years together taught us this: love endures, homes evolve, and the right song - or city - can still change everything. The post Vienna Waits For Y’all appeared first on Living In Beauty.

If your customer calls feel stiff, boring, or like both of you are counting down the minutes until it's over, you're not imagining it, and it's costing you more than you think. That's why in this episode, I'm breaking down the simple shifts that turn awkward, check-the-box customer calls into conversations your customers actually want to show up to. You'll learn why leading with the wrong metrics kills trust instantly, how to frame topics in a way that gets customers leaning in instead of zoning out, and the exact conversational tactics top-performing CSMs use to sound confident, human, and in control (without following a rigid script).By the end of this episode, you'll know how to run customer calls that feel natural, valuable, and genuinely strategic — the kind that deepen trust, uncover expansion signals, and make your job a whole lot easier.

Allie and her father, Ron Simmons, unpack the heartbreaking tragedies that occurred over the weekend: the shooting at Brown University in the U.S. and the massacre at Australia's Bondi Beach. Allie also dives into the impending trial of Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin, where he's facing life in prison or the death penalty. Ron gives his take on the upcoming midterms and speaks into how the seemingly fractured Right can band together to come out victoriously in 2028 against Democratic front-runner Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.). Plus Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) gives a crazy reason why America needs illegal aliens, and Dick Van Dyke turns 100, and he gives his advice on living a joy-filled life.

Exclusive! We get the lowdown on new Purina dog foods the day they hit the shelves. Dr. RuthAnn Lobos (@petvetruthann), senior veterinarian at Purina will outline the rationale behind their new "Advantedge Plus" senior and digestive formulations, and why many of us should consider one or the other. We'll parse ingredients, specs, and the new product development process from a researcher's notion to stocking retail shelves. We'll cover why and how dogs "choose" favorite foods, when our dog actually becomes a "senior" citizen, indications of a dog's aging, and find out what ingredients go into the new formulations and why. Dr. RuthAnn talks about why we shouldn't feed prior to a hunt, how Purina "taste tests" new foods, and defines a healthy physique for a sporting dog. "Fix It" keeps your dog warm after a cold wet hunt, and listeners tell us what they're giving their dog for Christmas or Hannukah. And it's all brought to you by: HiVizSights.com, Mid Valley Clays and Shooting School, TrulockChokes, HiViz shooting systems, Pointer shotguns, Purina Pro Plan Sport and FindBirdHuntingSpots.com.

Why isn't he retrieving well? This time in the season, it seems like everyone is wondering what happened to their dog. From not bringing birds all the way back, dropping birds or just going hunting again, many upland dogs are just not delivering, literally, these days. Retriever Hall of Fame inductee, pro trainer, and now successfully transitioned into pointing breeds, Jim Van Engen of Right Start Kennel has answers to our pressing questions. Simply put: force fetch. He'll hit the critical points in a dog's retrieving training whether flusher or pointer, and how to teach those important steps. Of course, we'll talk all things hunting and hit some of the high points of this new phase in his training career. Listeners sound off on safety practices in the field, and "Fix It" has a suggestion when the walk-in spot looks crowded.
