Chronic disease isn't just caused by what you eat. In this video, uncover the indoor lighting dangers you probably don't know about! Find out how to stop circadian rhythm disruption, melatonin suppression, and other modern lighting health problems.Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/46POGyB0:00 Introduction: Artificial light health effects1:45 Lux explained2:50 Why indoor lighting is bad for your health4:36 Indoor lighting and melatonin suppression4:57 Indoor lighting and sleep7:44 How to improve sleep and reduce circadian rhythm disruptionLight affects the circadian system, which in turn influences your mood, metabolism, hormones, sleep, and more. The circadian rhythm is a clock controlled by light and dark signals. In our modern-day environment, the days are too dim and the nights are too bright. During the day, sunlight is filtered through glass, preventing exposure to UV and infrared light, and at night, we're exposed to LED lights, TVs, phones, and tablets. We're dealing with a lack of contrast! Historically, humans were exposed to significantly more light during the day and minimal light at night. Modern lighting leads to melatonin suppression and affects your sleep and cortisol levels. Most people are not getting the restful sleep that they need. This affects the metabolism, insulin, blood sugar, and mood. Research has shown that bright nighttime light exposure can increase your risk of type 2 diabetes. Increasing sunlight exposure alone can improve your blood sugar, while evening bright light exposure can worsen it. Constant lighting is even considered psychologically harmful. Humans have evolved with significantly more light contrast, so we're dealing with an ancestral mismatch. To restore your circadian rhythm and combat the harmful effects of indoor lighting, try the following:1. Make your days aggressively brightEnsure adequate sun exposure before noon, and avoid wearing sunglasses. 2. Make the night genuinely dark Turn off overhead lighting, use soft night-lights, and dim screens 3 hours before bed.3. Restore contrast Focus on bright light during the day and remove light sources from your room at night. Replace light bulbs with incandescent lights if possible. Addressing the problems with modern light is one of the easiest ways to improve sleep naturally and restore your circadian rhythm.

Send a textIn this episode, Joey Pinz sits down with Stan Lai, one of the most influential playwrights and directors of our time, to explore what creativity really is—and what it is not.Stan challenges the myth that creativity is mysterious or reserved for the gifted. Instead, he reveals how creativity is a traceable process of the mind, shaped by focus, patience, and the ability to remove the habits that block original thinking. Drawing from decades of writing, directing, and teaching, he explains how characters are formed, why improvisation needs structure, and why chasing results often kills the work before it begins.The conversation also explores how audiences shape (and sometimes distort) creative decisions, why Hollywood feels broken, where AI helps and where it falls short, and why the most meaningful work comes from motivation—not metrics.

The run is hot economy is here! Today we talk markets, and debunk alarmist headlines about rising Japanese bond yields. We also talk about a significant market rotation: expensive mega-cap tech stocks are faltering while capital flows into "boring" sectors like staples, industrials, energy, healthcare, and utilities, with international markets also outperforming. Watch out about chasing falling tech names or trying to pick bottoms in areas like crypto. Diversification is always the way to go so understand sentiment cycles and focus on where money is flowing rather than where it has already been. Successful investing is about discipline, context, and avoiding emotional decisions. We discuss... Japan's 10-year government bond yield rising from near 0% to over 2%, which has sparked global concern. Because most Japanese government debt is owned domestically—by the central bank and pensions—the systemic risk narrative may be exaggerated. Market headlines often amplify short-term moves without proper historical framing. A large percentage of U.S. stocks are trading at very high price-to-sales ratios, exceeding even dot-com-era levels in some measures. Companies like Apple have high valuations despite limited recent earnings growth, raising questions about sustainability. Rotations are normal cycles in markets, where leadership shifts rather than the entire market collapsing. Utilities and staples—traditionally "boring" sectors—have recently outperformed while software and high-beta tech stocks have sold off sharply. International markets, particularly emerging markets and Europe, have outperformed the U.S. year-to-date. Heavy AI-related capital expenditures announced by large tech firms may have contributed to investor concerns. We compare crypto cycles to past tech bubbles, noting that true bottoms often occur when sentiment disappears and investors stop paying attention. Focus on where capital is flowing now rather than chasing sectors based on past performance. Diversification, patience, and understanding market cycles are essential for long-term investing success.

Join Here: ⁠⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠⁠In this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz explores the artist background of Tame Impala, the psychedelic rock/psych-pop project led by Australian multi-instrumentalist Kevin Parker. Since 2008, Parker has written, produced, and performed most material solo under the Tame Impala moniker.The sound evolution traces from garage-psych roots on Innerspeaker (2010), to polished pop-infused textures on Currents (2015), groove/pop hybridization on The Slow Rush (2020), and the latest genre blend of psychedelic, disco, house, and pop on Deadbeat, released October 17, 2025. Deadbeat debuted at #4 on Billboard 200, #4 on Official U.K. Albums Chart, and #2 on ARIA Chart.Tame Impala boasts numerous Grammys, ARIA, APRA Awards, and one BRIT Award, with massive streaming success—e.g., “The Less I Know the Better” exceeding 2.2B Spotify streams—yet waited nearly two decades for a first Hot 100 entry.Focus shifts to standout single “Dracula,” released September 26, 2025, as the third from Deadbeat. This third single delivers a bouncy, disco-leaning groove with a “party-until-dawn” narrative using vampire metaphors for nightlife embrace. Praised for its infectious groove, earworm chorus, and Halloween-adjacent energy, it drew mixed reviews (e.g., Medium 6.5/10) but strong community response in outlets like Atwood Magazine.“Dracula” marked Tame Impala's breakthrough: first Billboard Hot 100 entry debuting at #55 (October 2025), peaking at #30; #1 on Alternative Airplay (January 2026, returned #1 February 7 chart); #2 Adult Alternative Airplay; #23 Rock & Alternative Airplay. It ranked #3 in Triple J Hottest 100 (2025), amassed ~221M Spotify streams by February 2026, with debut week U.S. metrics of 6.5M streams, 1.7M radio impressions, and 1K digital sales. It peaked Top 40 on UK Singles Chart over 16 weeks.An early February 2026 remix featuring BLACKPINK's JENNIE added new vocal layers, verse content, and lyric nods to Parker, blending K-pop with psych-pop. Released post-Parker's JENNIE merch sighting at the February 1, 2026 Grammys—where Tame Impala won Best Dance/Electronic Recording for “End Of Summer” (second consecutive in category)—the remix boosted visibility, demographic reach, and chart momentum, sparking follow-up Hot 100 entries like “Loser” (#91) and “My Old Ways” (#56).Analytic Dreamz analyzes “Dracula” as a streaming-driven radio crossover, U.S. chart gateway, and cross-genre platform linking psych-pop and K-pop ecosystems, reinforcing Parker's hybrid legacy amid a 2026 European tour (April 4–May 13, covering major markets like Madrid, Paris, Berlin, London, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Dublin).Tune in for in-depth insights on Tame Impala's evolution, breakthrough success, and strategic significance in modern music.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/exclusive-contentPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Welcome to a new episode of ASMR Sleep Recordings. In this episode, you will hear the rain on your window. Improve your health and happiness.The sound you hear in this episode creates a calm atmosphere and at the same time blocks out disturbing noises. This will help you de-stress, unwind, and rest. Enjoy two hours of relaxing sounds to help you relax, focus, study and fall asleep.About ASMR Sleep Recordings:The purpose of ASMR Sleep Recording is to help you sleep and concentrate better. This particular episode lasts two hours and has no ads in the middle, so you won't be woken up or disturbed while focusing or relaxing. When you listen to ASMR Sleep Recordings, you can lock your phone, so you won't get any bothersome stimuli from notifications and other sounds from your phone. You can switch between apps while studying or working without pausing the ambient sound.About our sounds:Water creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to running water is an ideal way to turn off all the stressful things life brings, and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds include a river, flowing creek, babbling brook, gentle waves on a lake, and a bamboo fountain. Rain also creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to rain is an ideal way to switch off all the stressful things life brings and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds are rain on an umbrella, hailstorms, hard rain, soft rain, gentle rain, wind and rain, rain on a car.White noise helps babies and children to get a better and deeper night's sleep. This is because external sounds are masked by the noise. With white noise in the background, your child will not hear annoying cars driving by or dogs barking in bed. This allows your little one to sleep better. And it also saves you as a parent a lot of hours!Pink noise is more common in nature than you might expect. It can be compared to continuous rainfall or wind. In addition to white noise, pink noise is also increasing in popularity, especially in business environments. Because it can increase productivity, concentration and creativity.Brown noise can be compared to waves of the sea, a river current, strong winds or the sound of thunder during a storm. Like pink noise, brown noise is very similar to white noise. However, the frequencies have been lowered even further and a lot more concentrated. This gives it a rougher/coarse tone than pink noise. It sounds a bit deeper and a bit bass-like. The benefits of brown noise are the same as the other types of noise. It provides relaxation, increased focus and improved deep sleep.DISCLAIMER: Be aware that loud noises can damage your hearing. If you can't carry on a conversation without raising your voice while playing one of our spheres, the sound may be too loud for your ears. Do not place the speakers directly next to a baby's ears. If you have trouble hearing or ringing in your ears, stop listening to the white noise immediately and see an audiologist or your doctor.

Jake GTV joins Stew Peters live from Puerto Vallarta at Anarchapulco ripping open the Epstein files that nail Bill Gates in direct collusion with Jeffrey Epstein—the pedo financier who bankrolled the entire COVID bioweapon operation—complete with pre-planned depopulation, white fibrous clots yanked from corpses, and skyrocketing deaths that prove this was mass murder, not a pandemic.

A Note from Michael: The Thriving Farmer Podcast is currently on pause as we navigate a busy season on the farm. While we're taking this break, we're excited to share Farm in Focus, a special series of short, focused conversations recorded earlier this year. These bite-sized episodes highlight practical insights from farmers and experts across the industry. We hope they're helpful and encouraging as you continue your farming journey. How can technology help farmers save labor, increase efficiency, and monitor their farms in real time? In this Farm in Focus episode, Michael is joined by Nathan Rosenberg, CEO and co-founder of FarmBlox, to explore the biggest trends shaping farm technology today. From robotics to sensors to drones, Nathan breaks down which innovations truly move the needle — and which ones are more hype than help. Nathan explains why labor-saving tools are the top priority for most farms today, how sensors can automate tasks like monitoring maple syrup sap runs, and why theft prevention is becoming a critical need in orchards and high-value crop production. He also shares practical advice for farmers interested in adopting new technology without getting overwhelmed or oversold. Whether you're curious about automation or just want smarter ways to solve farm pain points, this conversation will help you understand what's worth paying attention to — and what to ignore.   In this episode, you'll hear about: Farm Tech Trends: • Why labor is the biggest cost driving innovation [1:53] • Where robotics and remote sensing are making the biggest impact [04:10] Real-World Applications: • How sensors can automate maple syrup production and orchard monitoring [04:32] • Why theft prevention is becoming a major tech need in agriculture [07:20] Drones & Data: • What drones can (and can't) do for farmers [09:55] • Using real-time monitoring to catch issues early [10:50] Practical Advice for Farmers: • Why "start small" is the smartest approach to adopting new tech • How to identify the pain points worth solving before investing About the Guest: Nathan Rosenberg is the CEO and Co-Founder of FarmBlox, a platform that gives farmers tools to build their own automation systems — connecting sensors, equipment, and real-time data to a simple app. With a background in robotics engineering and over a decade of experience building large-scale IoT networks, Nathan brings a deep understanding of how automation, AI, and practical engineering intersect on real farms.

Building a sustainable voiceover career in 2026 requires more than great performance—it means understanding how agencies submit talent, how online casting has evolved, and how discoverability now works in an increasingly digital and AI-influenced landscape. Today's voice actors need clarity, adaptability, and a strategy grounded in how the industry actually operates. In this episode of VO BOSS, Anne Ganguzza and J. Michael Collins sit down for a candid conversation about modern voiceover career strategy. Together, they explore how submissions are filtered behind the scenes, why becoming a trusted, go-to talent matters more than constant chasing, and how marketing, SEO, and emerging AI search tools now play a role in being found. This episode offers practical, experience-based insight into building a career that's positioned for long-term success.      Chapter Summaries: The Entrepreneurial "Happy Accident" (04:14) JMC reflects on a 30-year career built on "happy accidents" and flying by the seat of his pants. He emphasizes that a successful voiceover career strategy requires constant evolution. He discusses his "full circle" journey—starting in traditional studios, becoming a pioneer of online casting, and returning to a heavy focus on agency and broadcast work. Legwork and the "100 Touches" Rule (09:56) The hosts discuss the significant increase in effort required for modern talent. JMC suggests that the old standard of 20 daily marketing "touches" is obsolete; today, a competitive voiceover business requires closer to 100 touches a day (auditions + direct marketing) to maintain a tough climb in a saturated market. Demystifying the Agency World (09:29) JMC addresses a common misconception: agents are not scary gatekeepers; they work for you. He breaks down how agency submissions really work—where hundreds of voiceover auditions may be received for a single role, but only a small, carefully selected group is ever sent to the client. For voice actors, success comes from shifting the focus away from constant outreach and toward becoming a trusted, go-to talent within an agency's roster.  The New Frontier: LLM Search and SEO (21:07) Anne and JMC dive into the "New SEO." Beyond traditional Google rankings, talent must now optimize for AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude. JMC reveals he is booking multiple jobs per week from clients who found him by asking an AI bot for recommendations. This requires a comprehensive digital footprint that AI models can crawl and trust. Longevity and the "Five-Figure Wall" (16:04) JMC offers blunt advice for newer talent: getting to those first $20,000–$30,000 in annual revenue is the hardest part of the job. Once you hit that low five-figure traction, scaling to six figures is often a faster process because you have already developed the resilience and technical skills needed to survive rejection. The Immersion Strategy: VO Conferences (32:39) As the producer of VO Atlanta, One Voice USA, and his signature Euro Retreats, JMC explains why live events are the ultimate "Super Bowl" for career growth. He discusses the difference between intimate retreats (EuroVO) and massive immersion events, emphasizing that the relationships and "lifelong families" built at these conferences are often more valuable than the sessions themselves.     Top 10 Takeaways for Voice Actors: Embrace the Hustle: Aim for 100 marketing touches or auditions daily to stay ahead of the competition. Optimize for Chatbots: Ensure your website content is detailed and clear so LLMs like ChatGPT can index you for specific genre recommendations. Agents are Partners: Treat agents as people who work for you; focus on becoming the "easy choice" that they prioritize for shortlists. Traditional SEO Still Matters: Being on Page 1 or 2 of Google provides "walk-in business" that allows you to stop constant chasing. Focus on High-Tier Portals: If using pay-to-plays, aim for top-tier memberships (like 123 Platinum) to bypass the saturation of lower tiers. LinkedIn is the Pro Choice: Focus your social media marketing on LinkedIn, where professional grade buyers live, rather than consumer-heavy sites like Facebook. Persist Past the First $30k: Realize that the first five-figure stretch is the most difficult; the snowball effect happens once you establish a baseline. Demos are Still Non-Negotiable: You cannot get agency representation or high-end direct work without an award-winning, professional demo. Invest in Live Connection: Attend conferences like VO Atlanta or One Voice to build the "community family" that sustains a long-term career. Do It Your Way: Forge your own path by blending old-school agency work with new-school direct marketing and SEO strategy.  

“Boring isn't about making life smaller — it's about finally doing what I said I wanted to do.” —MiaMy highly passionate, creative, maybe ADHD, manifesting generator — or simply feeling scattered — sisters, I hope you find one piece in here that helps you.I've chosen “boring” as my word of the year.The need for boring energy has shown up through the health challenges of the past two years — a diagnosis that led to brain surgery, a series of illnesses, and recently falling and breaking my arm and sacrum.And surprisingly, saying boring has helped me finally follow through — actually doing the things I know will create the life and goals I want.As I lean into this word, I'm learning a lot. Here are some of the biggest lessons so far:1. Avoid Shiny ObjectsHave you ever gone to post something on social media and resurfaced 90 minutes later unsure what happened — and the post isn't even a thought anymore?Me. All the time.But I'm changing that. Boring means going in with intention, doing the thing I came to do, and leaving before the distractions take over.2. Notice the Negative Behaviors That Pretend to HelpI'm really good at rushing and multitasking — but I miss things, slip and fall, and lose focus.Sometimes what feels connecting or exciting is actually avoidance. Watching a show can feel cozy, but sometimes it replaces harder conversations or needed rest.Choosing boring brings me back to what I actually said I wanted.3. Follow My Own Needs (Not Outside Expectations)If you feel like you have to post constantly or send daily emails because “that's how business works,” you might be following someone else's priorities.Same with life. Sending kids to school sick because they're supposed to go? That's another outside rule that I choose to break. Working sick. I go inward before I decide what I'm going to do.Boring asks: what rhythm actually works for me?Choose alignment over expectation.4. Do One Thing Really WellAs a highly creative, multi-passionate person, this is hard — and it comes up constantly in coaching.But constraints are powerful. When you focus on one thing at a time and do it well, it's deeply satisfying — and often moves you forward faster.5. Simplify to Reduce Decision FatigueWhen you simplify your calendar and choose to do less, you remove constant decision-making.And when decisions decrease, energy increases — especially for the uncomfortable but meaningful work.6. Simplicity Is Hard — But TransformationalWe resist simplifying, even when we know it helps.But slowing down, simplifying, and focusing allow us to actually move forward instead of spinning in possibility.You might notice overlap in these lessons — and that's the point.Simplify.Slow down.Focus.Do the things that really matter.How could that serve you this year?7. What's Your Word?And if boring is not what you are here to play with. What are the big lessons you need to learn from your word of the year?DOABLE CHANGESIf any of this resonated, here are three ways to experiment with your own version of “boring” this week:SIMPLIFY YOUR CALENDARWhat's one thing you could remove next week? Where are the bottlenecks or overwhelm points? What could you decide in advance?PICK ONE THINGInstead of trying seven or eight things — even if you're great at multitasking — what happens if you choose ONE and do it really well?DOES THIS SERVE ME?Pause and ask: does this actually support what I want? Does watching a show create connection — or avoid...

What if robots could handle tedious retraction, precise bone milling, or even autonomous suturing, freeing surgeons to focus on complex decision-making and more patients?In this episode of the Succeed In Medicine Podcast, Dr. Bradley Block speaks with Dr. Michael Yip, as he explains that today's robots primarily serve as extensions of human surgeons via teleoperation (e.g., da Vinci for precision in hard-to-reach areas), enhancing dexterity, visualization, and accuracy rather than replacing them. He highlights existing autonomous applications in "hard tissue" procedures like the Mako or Stryker robots for precise bone milling in joint replacements, and non-contact examples like CyberKnife for focused radiation therapy.For soft tissue surgery, the more challenging domain due to tissue deformation and variability, autonomy is emerging in simpler, repetitive tasks such as retraction, suctioning, or basic suturing, with demonstrations dating back 15 years but real-world deployment lagging due to engineering, data, and economic hurdles. Dr. Yip discusses why demos in controlled settings don't easily translate to ORs, the shift to data-driven AI (with risks of out-of-distribution failures), and regulatory challenges like FDA expertise gaps and defining probabilistic safety. He predicts stepwise adoption: starting with assistant-level tasks (replacing med student/intern roles in retraction/suction), then progressing to free surgeons for higher-value work, especially in underserved rural areas via telesurgery. Full "skin-to-skin" autonomy (e.g., simple lipoma excision or appendectomy) remains years away, limited by hardware combining strength, dexterity, and precision in one system, though teams of specialized robots could accelerate progress. Ultimately, robotics will alleviate surgeon burnout from growing demand, not eliminate jobs soon.Three Actionable TakeawaysEmbrace Robotics Early in Training: Surgeons and trainees should gain hands-on experience with diverse robotic technologies now, treating them as essential tools that augment precision and dexterity rather than threats to obsolescence.Focus on Repetitive Tasks for Autonomy Gains: Prioritize robotic assistance in tedious, physically demanding steps like retraction, suctioning, or basic closure to free up time, reduce fatigue, and improve efficiency in high-volume or resource-limited settings.Stay Informed on Regulatory and Economic Shifts: Monitor evolving FDA guidelines for AI/surgical autonomy, economic incentives (e.g., cost savings in joint replacements or anastomosis), and liability frameworks to prepare for integration that enhances patient access and outcomes.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.

Leadership often asks us to be steady, composed, and productive, even when real emotions are moving underneath. This is an UNFILTERED compilation, in which we bring together some of the most powerful, raw and unfiltered moments from our UNFILTERED series. Across these episodes my co-host Daphna Horowitz and I very intentionally work to slow down and speak honestly about emotional truth at work. Anger. Grief. Presence. These are emotions many of us were taught to hide, especially in professional spaces. Not because they are wrong, but because they can feel inconvenient or uncomfortable. We explore anger as information that points to values, boundaries, and care. We talk about grief as something that does not end when leave ends, and why silence can feel more painful than acknowledgment. We also look at presence, because allowing emotional truth requires the willingness to stay instead of rushing past what feels hard. This is not about fixing emotions or performing leadership the right way. It is about noticing what is real, naming it with care, and choosing intention over reflex. You do not need to have all the answers. You only need the courage to stay with what is true. Key Takeaways: 02:43 – Anger as Information – Greater understanding of how anger often signals passion, values, and boundaries rather than something to suppress or feel ashamed of. 09:12 – Gender, Anger, and Perceived Competence – Clearer understanding of how cultural double standards shape whose anger is accepted, whose is questioned, and how this impacts leadership expression and self-trust.

What separates solopreneurs who stay stuck from those who scale into something bigger?In this episode of The Aspiring Solopreneur, Carly Ries and Joe Rando sit down with attorney and business strategist Brandon Williams, whose experience working with major brands like Steve Harvey Global gives him a unique perspective on what it really takes to grow a business from a single idea into a lasting legacy.Brandon breaks down one of the biggest myths about solopreneurship: that doing it alone means building it alone. He explains why the most successful solopreneurs actively build networks, leverage contractors, and think years ahead, even when they're just starting out.Whether you're still in the idea phase or actively growing your business, this conversation will help you shift from thinking small to building intentionally.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy solopreneurs should think like CEOs, even on day oneHow to scale without hiring employees (using contractors and partnerships)The mindset shift that helps solopreneurs overcome imposter syndromeHow to break big, long-term goals into actionable daily prioritiesThe legal structures solopreneurs should set up early (like LLCs and contracts)Why sharing your idea accelerates growth instead of risking itHow to build confidence when entering rooms with more “established” peopleThe biggest partnership mistakes solopreneurs make (and how to avoid them)Why effort and momentum attract opportunities and supportKey Takeaways1. Flying solo doesn't mean building alone Solopreneurs who scale successfully surround themselves with contractors, mentors, and collaborators.2. Confidence comes from action, not experience The difference between those who succeed and those who don't is often the willingness to try.3. Structure makes your business real Creating an LLC, separating finances, and putting agreements in place protects your future growth.4. Focus on where you're going, not just where you are Thinking years ahead helps guide better decisions today.5. Effort attracts momentum Taking consistent action creates opportunities, connections, and growth.Episode FAQsHow can solopreneurs scale their business without hiring employees?Solopreneurs can scale by building a network of contractors, freelancers, and collaborators instead of hiring full-time employees. This allows them to expand their capabilities, take on more clients, and increase revenue while maintaining flexibility and low overhead. Many successful solopreneurs use contractors for marketing, operations, design, and technical work.What legal structure should a solopreneur set up when starting a business?Most solopreneurs should create an LLC (Limited Liability Company) early in their business. An LLC separates personal and business assets, protecting the owner from personal liability if legal issues arise. Solopreneurs should also open a separate business bank account and use written agreements with contractors and clients.How do solopreneurs build confidence when starting or growing a business?Solopreneurs build confidence through action, not experience alone. Taking small steps, such as networking, talking about their business, working with clients, and executing consistently, helps build belief over time. Even experienced business leaders are constantly learning, and confidence grows by doing, not waiting until everything feels perfect.

Can your business make a million in one year?Most people will say no. Not because it's impossible, but because they're thinking about it the wrong way. Making your first $1 Million is not about hustle. It's not about stacking side projects. It's not about 14 income streams and burnout disguised as ambition.It's about leverage.Leverage over effort.Outcomes over deliverables.Focus over distraction.If your income is tied directly to your time, you're capped. If you're solving small problems, you're paid small money. If you're scattered across too many offers, too many audiences, too many channels, you're diluted.The path to $1 Million requires three uncomfortable shifts:Obsess over leverage, not effort.Solve a $10 Million problem to earn $1 Million.Go narrower to go bigger with one flagship offer, one defined buyer, and one primary distribution engine.This episode also confronts the uncomfortable truth about wealth: if it costs you your family, your health, or your identity, that's not success. That's ego dressed up as ambition. The real question becomes this: " If you had to build a $1 Million business with only one offer, one audience, and one channel… what would you choose?"Your answer will reveal everything...What You'll Learn:Why leverage beats effort if you want real scaleHow to reverse-engineer $1 Million without the hustle trapThe “solve a $10 Million problem” mindset shiftWhy outcomes sell and deliverables get negotiated downHow focus becomes your unfair advantage when discomfort hitsThe one-offer, one-audience, one-channel test that clarifies everythingHow to build recurring revenue while protecting your energyBeyond The Episode Gems:Buy My Book, Strategize Up: The Blueprint To Scale Your Business: StrategizeUpBook.comDiscover All Podcasts On The HubSpot Podcast NetworkGet Free HubSpot Marketing Tools To Help You Grow Your BusinessGrow Your Business Faster Using HubSpot's CRM PlatformListen to My First Million on the HubSpot Podcast NetworkSupport The Podcast & Connect With Troy: Rate & Review iDigress: iDigress.fm/ReviewsFollow Troy's Socials @FindTroy: LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads, TikTokSubscribe to Troy's YouTube Channel For Strategy Videos & See Masterclass EpisodesNeed Growth Strategy, A Keynote Speaker, Or Want To Sponsor The Podcast?

You get a firehose of genuinely useful Apple tips this week, starting with new muscle-memory moves you'll actually use: cycling app windows with Cmd + `, nodding or shaking to answer AirPods, dragging apps straight from iOS search, and building Focus-specific home screens so the right icons appear at the right time. Edge Light turns your Mac into a cleaner on‑camera rig, Display Buddy tames external monitor brightness, and custom macOS keyboard shortcuts plus Dock CPU meters give you fast, surgical control over your Mac. Then you level up your living room: master the Apple TV remote's scrub wheel, undo accidental scrubs, jump in precise increments, push video from iPhone to Apple TV, and fling audio to HomePod with a tap. Even Reminders gets a glow‑up so you can punt a pile of alerts in one shot instead of playing whack‑a‑mole. From there, you zoom out to “meta” geekery: backing up critical Notes (or moving to OneNote, Ulysses, or Obsidian), even flirting with a git repo to sync prefs and personal data like a developer. On the road, you learn how to keep CarPlay tappable with gloves, and in the cloud you explore why chatbots forget context, when to bring in tools like Claude, Perplexity's Comet, Atlas, Gemini, or Claude's Chrome extension, and how having an always‑on troubleshooting assistant changes how you work. Listener reviews cap it off by framing the show as a kind of PhD in troubleshooting, all so you can experiment, push your tech harder, and, of course, don't get caught.​ 00:00:00 Mac Geek Gab 1129 for Monday, February 16th, 2026 February 16th: Innovation Day MGG Monthly Giveaway – Enter to win a Copilot Money!

The Department of Homeland Security has entered a partial government shutdown, after a two-week funding extension expired without a bipartisan agreement on immigration reforms. While core agencies like ICE and CBP remain operational due to existing funding streams, the lapse forces roughly 95% of TSA agents and thousands of FEMA employees to work without pay, echoing the financial strain of a previous 43-day shutdown.

Conversation with Gemini You said podcast title and description for this segment: 00;00;00;00 - 00;00;07;02 Unknown Steve Cohen made it very clear there will never be a captain of the New York Mets as long as he owns the team. 00;00;07;05 - 00;00;32;13 Unknown And I said, hold that thought, because at 11:00, I want you to hear from both Lindor and Soto and maybe, maybe, maybe not. That comment from Cohen will make more sense, right? Because I listen to everything Lindor and Soto said over the weekend. And they sound very different. They are painting very, very different pictures right. So before I provide any more comment, let's hear from these guys. 00;00;32;19 - 00;00;56;08 Unknown Let's start with Francisco Lindor, who was asked a very simple question. Hey, what's up with the locker room? Francisco? There's been questions this offseason about chemistry on the on the team and in the clubhouse. Can you address that as far as guys getting along and and pulling for each other? Yeah I mean we've always proved for each other, we always wanted what's best for each other. 00;00;56;10 - 00;01;15;23 Unknown We all best friends that that's not how it works in the clubhouse. But we are friends. We're good teammates. We, care for each other. We love for each other. We love each other. And we want the best for each other, you know? And we have a lot of new faces here that, guys seemed like they're going to work hard and they're going to do whatever it takes to win. 00;01;15;24 - 00;01;33;18 Unknown You know, to me, that's what it comes down to is all about winning. And everybody pulling in the same direction. So he gives us the typical not all best friends, but we're friends. Yeah. Oh good. What's his by the way any clubhouse or locker room. Yeah. You don't have to be best friends with everybody. But just you have to be able to get along and work together. 00;01;33;18 - 00;01;53;08 Unknown And he makes clear that they did. Right. And so that there really doesn't appear to be any issues, according to Lindor about last year's locker room. Now, let's hear from one Soto first. Hey, one, what's your relationship like with Francisco Lindor? Because we heard so much about, hey, maybe those two don't get along. One how would you describe your relationship with Francisco Lindor? 00;01;53;10 - 00;02;16;06 Unknown I think it's a great relationship. We talk all the time in the game and everything. We help each other very quick answer, but to the point and like, yeah, it's all great. So so far everything is good, right? This is where things get a little murky. Soto is now asked about the locker room. Carlos, when those ads describe the clubhouse last year is maybe getting a little bit too corporate at times. 00;02;16;08 - 00;02;39;24 Unknown What was your perception of it? As in the past, we forget about it. We focus in 2026, focusing on 2026. How could you maybe prevent that from happening this time around? Have fun. Forget about all the drama and everything. Focus on the game and wins on ball games. Whoa. I mean, when you said forget about all the drama, right? 00;02;39;26 - 00;02;59;23 Unknown Isn't he confirming talking about. He's confirming that was drama. Well, he's but not necessarily will endure. No, I think I agree with you. I think that's what people wanted and immediately think about. But I think it was other drama, in fact, not even drama with him. I think it was drama that he was witnessing. Yeah, I think it has nothing to do with Lindor, honestly, because think about this. 00;02;59;23 - 00;03;17;03 Unknown Juan Soto gave you in those three answers, like pretty straightforwardness. There he is, though. Yeah, he's no beat around the bush. He's not going to fluff it up. He's going to tell you exactly what he thinks. So there were issues. I'm not going to talk about the drama that's in the past and let's just win games. Yet. When asked about Lindor, oh, it's all good. 00;03;17;05 - 00;0 ...

Most people believe they're exhausted because they're doing too much. In reality, they're drained because they're not directing their energy intentionally. Every emotional reaction, every trigger, every old belief pulls energy from you — and most of it never moves your life forward.When you begin directing your energy consciously, something changes. You stop scattering your creative power across worry, frustration, and reaction. Instead, that same energy becomes fuel for clarity, focus, and movement.Why Directing Your Energy Feels Hard at FirstThe challenge with directing your energy isn't effort — it's awareness. Emotional triggers formed early in life still run quietly in the background, deciding where your energy flows before you even notice. Without realizing it, people replay the past while trying to build a future.Directing your energy means taking responsibility for where it goes. Not by suppressing emotion, but by choosing what deserves your life force.What Happens When You Direct Energy on PurposeWhen directing your energy becomes a practice, exhaustion fades. Focus sharpens. Decisions feel cleaner. You stop reacting and start creating. The same energy that once kept you stuck becomes the very thing that moves you forward.Nothing external has to change first — only the direction.

When your three-year-old hits you, their sibling, or another child, it's easy to feel frustrated, embarrassed, or even angry. You might wonder if this challenging behavior means something is wrong with your child or your parenting.  In this episode, I help you see hitting in a completely different way. Instead of viewing it as a problem to eliminate, we'll explore what your child is trying to communicate through their actions. You'll discover how hitting is often your child's attempt to meet important needs when they don't yet have the words or skills to do it differently. This shift in perspective changes everything about how you respond. Most advice about hitting focuses on consequences, time-outs, or behavior charts. But these approaches miss what's really happening. In this episode, I walk you through real examples from parents dealing with hitting, and show you how to identify the feelings and needs driving the behavior. If you're not sure where to start with identifying your child's needs, this quick quiz can help you figure out which needs might be going unmet. You'll learn practical strategies for helping your child develop replacement behaviors for hitting that actually meet their needs. Whether your child hits when they're frustrated, overwhelmed, or seeking connection, you'll leave with tools to support them while also taking care of yourself and keeping everyone safe. Questions this episode will answer Is it normal for 3 year olds to hit? Yes, hitting is common in early childhood. Three-year-olds are still developing language skills and emotional regulation, so they often use physical actions to communicate feelings or meet needs they can't express in words yet. What is a replacement behavior for hitting? Replacement behaviors depend on what need your child is trying to meet. If they're seeking sensory input, alternatives might include squeezing play dough or pushing against a wall. If they're expressing frustration, they might learn to stomp their feet or use simple words like "I'm mad!" How do I get my 3 year old to stop hitting? Focus on understanding the feelings and needs behind the hitting rather than just stopping the behavior. Help your child identify what they're feeling, figure out what need they're trying to meet, and practice new ways to meet that need that work for everyone. Is it normal for a 3 year old to be very aggressive? Frequent hitting or other challenging behavior in early childhood often signals that your child has important unmet needs. This doesn't mean something is wrong with them. It means they need support learning new strategies to meet their needs. How do you teach children to communicate their needs? Start by helping your child recognize and name their feelings using simple...

How do we talk to our teens about friendships, dating, sex, and consent—without panicking, preaching, or pushing them away? In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Bronwyn Carroll, pediatric emergency medicine physician, mom of four, and child protection advocate. With over 20 years of frontline experience, she shares what she's seen, what works, and how parents can build “conversational scaffolding” early—so hard conversations feel natural later. We talk about: Why healthy romantic relationships are built on early childhood friendships How to help teens recognize red flags in dating relationships The emotional and physical risks of teen dating violence Why welcoming your teen's boyfriend or girlfriend may be smarter than banning them How to talk about consent in clear, practical ways Why honest conversations about sex don't encourage early sexual activity (and what research from the Netherlands shows) How alcohol, vulnerability, and online spaces increase risk And most importantly—how to stay calm and connected when your teen is emotionally flooded Dr. Carroll reminds us that no topic should be off-limits—and that starting the conversation today can make all the difference.

Jonathan Mast (the White Beard AI Guy) breaks down how video professionals can use AI to handle the administrative grunt work that's eating up their time—without sacrificing quality or creativity. He shares his proven strategies for creating consistent content, automating client onboarding, and using AI as a creative partner instead of a replacement. If you've been overwhelmed by AI or skeptical about how it fits into your business, this conversation will change your perspective. Key Takeaways Start with operations, not creativity – Use AI to handle scheduling, client communications, and admin tasks before trying to use it for creative work. These "boring" tasks are where you'll see immediate time savings. The Q&A content strategy – Record simple videos answering common client questions. You already know the answers, so there's no need for scripts or elaborate setups. Batch record them in an hour and you've got weeks of content. AI as your creative partner – Think of AI tools as amplifiers of your creativity, not replacements. Let them handle the tedious parts of editing, graphics, and client onboarding so you can focus on what you do best. Don't chase every new tool – Check in every 60-90 days on what's new in AI for video, but don't jump on every shiny object. Focus on tools that integrate with what you're already using. About Jonathan Mast Jonathan Mast stands at the forefront of AI prompting mastery, empowering businesses and entrepreneurs to leverage artificial intelligence for measurable growth. Since 1995, he has blended marketing expertise with cutting-edge technology, and over the past few years has emerged as a leading authority on practical AI implementation.

It gives you space. It gives you margin and that margin lets you be the creative that you truly want to be." – Jonathan Mast "We're literally in that stage of technology right now where if you're in a business and you're not using AI, I really believe you're going to find yourself in a very bad spot within 18 months." – Jonathan Mast "If you were going to start using AI, start with your operations, start with the things you just wish somebody else would do." – Jonathan Mast "You could literally take one wasted hour a week and turn it into answering some simple questions that you already know the answers to." – Jonathan Mast "Let AI amplify your creativity.

Hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros challenge a belief that quietly sabotages high performers. You can push harder, grind longer, and sacrifice sleep for a while, but eventually your body collects the debt. Drawing from their own experiences with fatigue, recovery, and years of coaching clients, they break down why longevity habits influence focus, productivity, and long-term success far more than motivation alone. Most people chase results without realizing the foundation underneath them is unstable. This episode connects sleep, health, and discipline to the outcomes people want most but rarely trace back to their daily choices. If you want more energy, clearer thinking, and sustainable growth, this conversation will recalibrate your priorities. Do not wait for burnout to teach you what discipline can teach you now._______________________Learn more about:Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.
