Focusing On Optimal Health and Wellness: A Conversation With An Integrative Medicine Expert Click Here for a FREE 15 min Zoom Consultation With Brad: Dr. Michael Turner - Integrative Medicine Physician www.drturner.substack.com In this podcast episode, Brad Williams from Over 40 Fitness Hacks interviews Dr. Michael Turner, a specialist in Integrative Medicine. Dr. Turner begins by expressing his deep passion for health and his daily commitment to living a healthy lifestyle. He emphasizes that his focus is not on trying to replicate his 27-year-old self's health but on maximizing his health at his current age of 47, recognizing the importance of individual genetics and backgrounds in this journey. Dr. Turner's interest in health and wellness started during high school when he took a health class and became fascinated by the intricacies of the human body. This fascination led him to adopt healthy habits like running, clean eating, and weightlifting. He also delved into research, exploring questions about protein intake, carb consumption, and supplements. His educational journey took him to prestigious institutions, including Stanford University for undergrad studies in human biology, Harvard Medical School for further education, and the Mayo Clinic to complete his residency. Despite initially working in a neuroscience center, Dr. Turner later decided to follow his passion for integrative medicine, with a focus on anti-aging, wellness, prevention, and optimizing health rather than just treating diseases. One of the notable aspects of Dr. Turner's practice is its patient-centric approach. While not strictly membership-based, patients enter into agreements with him for a 12-month period, determining the number of visits and working together on their health goals. This approach offers remarkable convenience, with patients from various locations connecting with him via video calls, making health management more accessible. Brad Williams and Dr. Turner discuss the benefits of telehealth, allowing individuals to access specialized care regardless of their geographical location. Dr. Turner explains that while he predominantly uses video calls, some patients visit him in person, especially when physical examinations or treatments like injections are necessary. Dr. Turner clarifies that he doesn't position himself as a primary care physician but rather as a complementary partner to primary care doctors. His focus lies in optimizing health, preventing issues, and exploring naturalistic approaches to health concerns. Patients often seek his guidance on areas like blood pressure management, with a preference for natural solutions over medication when appropriate.

Matty is a scientist and nutritionist who works with busy women and moms to set them free from the fad diet yo-yo.  Focusing on calorie input versus output isn't enough for long-term lifestyle change.Matty's work has brought him from vaccine development to dietitian training around to where he is now.  Many diseases like cancer, dementia, and diabetes are largely caused by diet, lifestyle, and tobacco.  But, he found that just telling people what to eat wasn't enough.  Being overweight is not about food, calories or kale, it's about peeling the emotional onion and growing into a totally new version of yourself.Learn more about working with Matty and his podcast "How To Not Get Sick and Die" at https://mattylansdown.com/Support the showConnect with Magic:A Magical Life Podcast on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/amagicallifepodcast/On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wholisticnaturalhealth/Online: https://wholisticnaturalhealth.com.auA Subito Media production

Based on the author's eight years of fieldwork with the United Nations-led Conference of Parties (COP), In Quest of a Shared Planet: Negotiating Climate from the Global South (Fordham UP, 2023) offers an illuminating first-person ethnographic perspective on climate change negotiations. Focusing on the Paris Agreement, anthropologist Naveeda Khan introduces readers to the only existing global approach to the problem of climate change, one that took nearly thirty years to be collectively agreed upon. She shares her detailed descriptions of COP21 to COP25 and growing understanding of the intricacies of the climate negotiation process, leading her to ask why countries of the Global South invested in this slow-moving process and to explore how they have maneuvered it. With a focus on the Bangladeshi delegation at the COPs, Khan draws out what it means to be a small, poor, and dependent country within the negotiation process. Her interviews with negotiators within country delegations uncover their pathways to the negotiating tables. Through observations of training sessions of negotiators of the Global South, Khan seeks to reveal understandings of what is or is not achievable within negotiated texts and the power of deal-making and deferrals. She profiles individuals who had committed themselves to the climate negotiation process, moving between the Secretariat, Parties, activists, and the wider UN system to bring their principles, strategies, emotions, and visions into view. She explores how the newest pillar of climate action, loss and damage, emerged historically and how developed countries attempted to control it in the process. Khan suggests that we understand the Global South's pursuit of loss and damage not only as a politics of forcing the issue of a conjoined future upon the Global North, but as a gift to the youth of the world to secure that future. Deeply insightful and highly readable, In Quest of a Shared Planet is a stirring call to action that highlights the key role responsive and active youth have in climate negotiations. It is an invitation not only to understand the climate negotiation process, but also to navigate it (for those planning to attend sessions themselves) and to critique it—with, the author hopes, sympathy and an eye to viable alternatives. In Quest of a Shared Planet: Negotiating Climate from the Global South is available from the publisher on an open-access basis. Naveeda Khan is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Johns Hopkins University. She sits on the board of the JHU Center for Islamic Studies, and serves as affiliate faculty for the JHU Undergraduate Program in Environmental Science and Studies. She is the author of Muslim Becoming: Aspiration and Skepticism in Pakistan (Duke, 2012) and River Life and the Upspring of Nature (Duke, 2023) and editor of Beyond Crisis: Re-evaluating Pakistan (Routledge, 2010).

Details are a little fuzzy, but one thing is clear: if Disney doesn't get the guest experience right in all this talk about big expansion plans they risk alienating their existing core group and the 700 million new guests they're targeting.Disney's Global Parks Expansion Plans Sound Great, But Details are Lacking and there are some Risks In the last episode, we discussed the potential future developments for Disneyland and, as if on cue, Bob Iger and Disney executives shared a little more this week about the Disney Company's future park investments around the globe. Here's what we know and what it may mean for you, the Disney traveler.The Disney Company is working on plans to increase the timing and investments in Parks, Experiences and Products globally. They plan to almost double the spend over the next 10 years to roughly $60 billion, including both American and international parks and Disney Cruise Line (not to mention DVC).Disney CEO Bob Iger and Disney Parks, Experiences and Products Chairman Josh D'Amaro met with Wall Street analysts and investors at Disney World to discuss how they plan to invest in experiences that leverage the ever-growing library of Disney stories.Which Disney Stories Will Come to Life?Not unlike Destination D23, this presentation was a lot of talking with little detail. Disney does plan to fuel future growth with stories that haven't had a significant presence in parks. We know that Frozen-themed lands are coming to Hong Kong Disneyland, Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris and Tokyo Disney Resort, and that a Zootopia-themed land is coming to Shanghai Disney Resort. But Disney specifically stated it will explore even more characters and franchises, including some they've never done before.“We have a wealth of untapped stories to bring to life across our business,” said D'Amaro. “Frozen, one of the most successful and popular animated franchises of all time, could have a presence at the Disneyland Resort. Wakanda has yet to be brought to life. The world of Coco is just waiting to be explored. There's a lot of storytelling opportunity.”No Shortage of Park Space for Disney to BuildIn a shot likely aimed at Universal, Josh D'Amaro said “We stand alone when it comes to scale and while our scale is impressive, we have no shortage of space or regions of the world in which to tell new stories.”Disney Parks has over 1,000 acres of land for possible future development to expand theme park space across its existing sites – the equivalent of about seven new Disneyland Parks.Focusing on Converting Disney Fans into Disney TravelersFor every park visitor today there are 10 other Disney consumers who've never visited a park. So DIsney has a plan to convert those 700 million Disney fans to become park guests. That's a lot of people in Disney Parks.This sounds great if you're a Disney exec, but could prove to be a nightmare for Disney travelers who sometimes have to navigate parks that are already over crowded. How they do this is critical.“Ultimately what is most important to us is the relationship that we have with every guest,” said D'Amaro. “Guests can spend a day with us at our Parks, a week with us on a Cruise, or the rest of their lives with us through Disney Vacation Club membership.”What Disney needs to consider is that every guest includes existing loyal Disney travelers. It will be a balancing act to bring in that many more new visitors, without disrupting the experience for everyone (and that includes convoluted tech processes for just about everything).Having enough hotel space is critical to making this vision work. While they did not mention hotels, they did talk about Disney Vacation Club (DVC). The DVC expansion strategy is currently to have a thousand new "keys" (aka DVC rooms) coming on board by the end of 2024. That's a lot of new DVC members.  340 DVC rooms came online with the opening of DVC Disneyland Hotel in September and  there will be approximately 360 Fort Wilderness cabins opening in 2024,  plus approximately 270 new Polynesian Villas also in 2024. Having every possible guest become a DVC member is clearly a "key" strategy for Disney.So what does that mean for the future of Disney travel and the management of crowd levels and an overall enjoyable experience? Only time will tell. For now let's focus on the positive fact that somehow somewhere, there will be a new park or parks at Disneyland and Walt Disney World.Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel PodcastThank you very much for listening to this episode, Amelia and I hope that you enjoyed it.

David Chadwick, Founder and CEO at RealResponse, is passionate about making a difference in athletics, but not in the normal sense of what you might think of as winning in sports. Instead, David has created a tool where athletes and staff can give anonymous feedback in a way that everyone in collegiate institutions and athletic organizations has a chance to be heard. Join Jim and David as they explore how David is helping create a much safer environment in sports and institutions across the country, while also scaling his business. 3 Key TakeawaysCash Management and Funding Decisions: In the early stages, it's crucial to control expenses and scrutinize every cost. Decisions on funding, whether through raising money from friends, family, angels, or VCs, will have a long term impact on the control and expectations around the business. David highlights the importance of staying true to his mission and controlling his destiny by being mindful of where funding comes from.Technology and Scalability: Ensure that technology choices are future-proof and scalable. There is a significant focus on getting the User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) right from the start. Mistakes in technology choices can be costly and pivoting might require substantial resources“Customers, customers, customers”: This is what David often tells his staff is the most important part of their business. Never have a whiteboard session with your team to workshop what you think your customers want and need. Until you get in front of your customers, it's just impossible to know what they're thinking and feeling.

Abundance is a Mindset You Must Learn to Create Abundance is something we hear a lot about these days.  However, it is much easier said than done.  How many times do you feel you are being positive, but life just doesn't seem to go your way.  Well, over time I have realized there is a difference between positivity and abundant thinking.  I think it is super important in business and in life to recognize what it really takes to become an abundant thinker.  Otherwise, we are living in an perpetual state of grind and working toward a future that never arrives… Abundant thinking really boils down to living in constant state of creativity and vision with your focus on the future “greatness” we are all capable of attaining.  When you can live focusing your attention on the future greatness you actually already ARE RIGHT NOW…you will attract the things that you need to continually evolve into that very state.  When you focus on the current limiting circumstances and state you are in, it is difficult to truly benefit from the law of attraction or the universal laws that can help you create the success, health, wealth, and happiness you deserve. To truly become abundant, it requires you to RAISE YOUR VIBRATIONAL FEQUENCY you operate in day to day…I know that sounds a bit out there, but let's talk more about this today.  I hope you enjoy this podcast episode. Today I want to talk about some strategies and ideas you can use to Train Your Mind to become more abundant. Topics Covered: ·       Your Attitude will determine your level of Abundance ·       Cannot Create from Scarcity ·       Focusing on Your Future Greatness is Key ·       Faith vs Belief ·       Gratitude is a Strategy You have Greatness inside you.  I know you can Learn, Grow and Accomplish anything you put your mind toward.  I appreciate you listening today.  See you tomorrow.

This week, I was so pleased to welcome one of the best film writers currently working today - the wonderful Sheila O'Malley - back to the podcast. A regular film critic for RogerEbert.com and a member of the prestigious New York Film Critics Circle, Sheila's work has also appeared in Film Comment, The New York Times, The L.A. Times, Criterion Collection, Sight & Sound, and other outlets. Additionally, a scene from her full-length script JULY AND HALF OF AUGUST was turned into a short film, which played at the Albuquerque Film and Music Experience, as well as at EbertFest. She's also written the narration scripts for two tribute reels played at the Lifetime Achievement Oscar ceremony, one for recipient Gena Rowlands (read by Angelina Jolie) and one for recipient Anne V. Coates (read by Diane Lane). Always a must-read, when she isn't doing everything else, Sheila writes about actors, movies, and Elvis at her outstanding personal site, The Sheila Variations. Returning for the first time since last winter when she joined me to discuss BLUE HAWAII on one of our winter physical media episodes, we had so much fun cracking each other up about Elvis movies that we couldn't resist tackling five more together this time. Focusing on a group of films that Sheila considers to be underrated for one reason or another, whether that's because it's a western, features a remarkable performance, or is the epitome of what a '60s Elvis romcom musical could be when it's done well, in this sparkling conversation, we cover KING CREOLE, FLAMING STAR, GIRL HAPPY, LIVE A LITTLE LOVE A LITTLE, & THE TROUBLE WITH GIRLS.

Today's Listing Agent Lifestyle Podcast episode is the fourth in a series of Clubhouse rooms we're recording, exploring the five essential pillars for success. We're looking at Finding Buyers and discussing valuable strategies to effectively set up your business as a well-oiled vending machine - attracting the exact clients you want by emphasising and selecting a single target market to dominate. We'll also take a look at the amazing results from our case study with Tony Kalsi & his 11x ROI and the leads he's still getting from people who opted in years ago. We wrap up talking about the strategies and tactics to grow your business by focusing on what buyers are looking for.   Summary: Creating a business model akin to a vending machine can drive specific clients you want, emphasizing the need to focus on one target market at a time. Becoming a market maker involves controlling the process from start to finish, and being strategic, efficient, and result-oriented. The real estate market can be dominated by narrowing your target audience and positioning yourself as the go-to expert in a specific field. Innovative tactics like lifestyle videos, virtual tours, and professional photography can give you an edge when listing a property. Lead generation has transformative power, with potential returns if you invest in a bundle of 100 leads. Digital postcards, videos, and other creative tools can provide potential clients valuable information about your expertise. The success story of Tony Kalsi's 'Getting Listings' case study demonstrates an impressive return on investment from initial seed investment. Focusing on a single target market can maximise results with minimum effort, as exemplified in the 'Setting Up a Vending Machine Business' chapter. Controlling the buyers by creating a system gives you an advantage when listing a property. The importance of strategies, tactics, and tools in growing your business exponentially is emphasized to achieve unparalleled success.   Links: Show Notes GoGoAgent.com Be a Guest Listing Agent Lifestyle Book Listing Agent Scorecard

Dazed and Confused is flat out a classic. Focusing on a group of wayward teens in 70s Austin, Texas, it somehow remains one of the most relatable looks at the high school experience. Sure, some things don't really translate to the present—the hazing, for example—but few movies have captured the essence of what it's like to feel stuck, even though your whole life is still in front of you. One of the reasons it remains so beloved is its eccentric cast of characters and the budding stars who played them. Dazed and Confused has a cast stacked with actors and actresses on the cusp of fame. From Ben Affleck to Matthew McConaughey to Parker Posey, it helped usher in the next phase of Hollywood stars. And, for some—like McConaughey's Wooderson—their characters in Dazed and Confused are recognized as a seminal role in their filmography. Few movies are as quotable, engaging, and culturally relevant as this, so it's no wonder it remains so prevalent in the cultural zeitgeist.   Now, sit back, grab your go-to high school brew, and air raid! I, the Thunderous Wizard (@WriterTLK), Capt. Cash, and Bling Blake are paddling freshmen and getting ready to party at the Moon Tower! This Week's Segments: Introduction/Plot Breakdown – It was the last day of school in 1976, a time they'd never forget... if only they could remember!

In his message at TGC's 2018 West Coast Conference, Michael Horton teaches on 2 Timothy: 9–18, encouraging believers to live unashamed of the gospel, even amid suffering.Focusing on the centrality of the gospel in suffering witness according to God's power within us, Horton says the ministry of Paul and Timothy isn't merely about their personalities or abilities but about Christ's testimony. Just as Paul wasn't ashamed of the gospel because he knew he was entrusted with it and that God completes what he starts, so too can we live and minister with confidence.Horton ends his message with an encouragement: “Brothers and sisters, you are chosen, you are saved, and you are kept by this gospel. Therefore, do not be ashamed of it. Embrace it for yourself and guard it by giving it away.”

Do you need help improving your law firm's client journey? Are you finding it hard to get clients? In this episode, Matt Spiegel, the co-founder and CEO of Lawmatics, discusses the importance of providing excellent customer service in the legal industry and improving the client journey.It is evident that lawyers are not CEOs. They don't run businesses. But, Matt emphasizes the need for law firm owners to run their practice like a business. Law firm owners need to go out and find clients to grow their firm just like a CEO would go out and make connections to grow their success. Part of growing your business and law firm ensures the client is always happy because a happy client equals a happy practice. Matt delves into the ways to prioritize the happiness of a client.1 | Client Begins The client journey begins the moment a client reaches out to your firm via email or phone. This is part of the “client intake phase”. This phase is crucial to getting a client because they are reaching out to multiple firms at once. You need to ensure staff are engaging right away so they don't lose the client. Immediate engagement shows the client exactly how you will respond to them throughout the process. It shows that those in the firm care and are ready to provide the client with what they need, even if it's just basic legal information.2 | Active ClientThe “active matter phase” is the communication throughout the length of a client's case. Like phase one, communication is key to getting and retaining a client. It is important to provide the client information throughout the journey. Make it a habit to market to them. Send them information like newsletters that include things that are external to your firm. It is a good idea to set up a client portal, where individuals can go into a system and get updates on their case. If email communication is too much (and it can be in this industry), a client portal is a great way to input all necessary information and the client can retrieve it on the other end. 3 | Former Client The “former client phase” is a neglected but important phase in the client journey. 75% of clients come from referrals. Even when a client's case is complete, the relationship between the attorney and client needs to continue. There are many ways to maintain a good relationship with a former client. Send a birthday and holiday email every year or add them to a mailing list for networking events. What this does is let the client know the firm has their best interests in mind even after the working relationship ends.Matt speaks about only doing things in your law firm that you can measure. You need to be able to back up your success with KPIs and numbers. Think about the conversion rates of initial screening calls that lead to actual clients. This will measure how successful the intake process is for your firm.
