Podcasts about Frustration

On today’s episode, Rickey Smiley and the crew dove into President Trump’s renewed Greenland ambitions, with the administration touting a “framework” for a long‑term deal discussed at the World Economic Forum. Trump emphasized that he would not use military force and framed the agreement as a strategic security partnership involving NATO and Arctic operations, particularly focusing on mineral rights, missile‑defense initiatives, and Arctic security collaboration. Meanwhile, Pole to Pole star Will Smith described his terrifying near‑death experience while scuba diving beneath ten‑foot‑thick North Pole ice, recalling how he accidentally dislodged his oxygen mask before being pulled to safety—an ordeal he later described as both harrowing and spiritual. The crew also discussed reports of Lakers governor Jeanie Buss privately bristling at LeBron James’ influence within the franchise—tension reportedly fueled by disagreements over roster decisions and her belief that LeBron showed limited appreciation after the team drafted Bronny James. Rounding out the show, Stefon Diggs publicly praised girlfriend Cardi B for her unwavering support during his Patriots playoff run, crediting her for becoming an enthusiastic football fan and celebrating their growing family.

We react to the Dolphins' introductory press conference for new GM Jon-Eric Sullivan and Head Coach Jeff Hafley, who came across as a no-nonsense leader, and discuss the big quarterback question the new regime must solve with Malik Willis as a possible option. The conversation shifts to Hurricanes transfer portal news, including JoJo Trader entering, Markel Bell heading to the draft, and Girard Pringle staying in Miami, before breaking down the Heat's loss to Portland and Tyler Herro's injury-plagued season. We also compare record-setting National Championship ratings to the NFL's numbers and preview Conference Championship weekend, including why Seahawks vs. Rams may be the best matchup left. Plus, Joe's unexpected cameo in a viral photo with Jordon Hudson and Alix Earle.

This week we are talking about frustration on the human side of the leash.  We are taking a deeper look at what causes frustration including things like comparison, physical health/limitations, motivation, and learning styles. We are also talking about why we want to recognize our own frustrations in order to lessen or prevent them in the future.  We are getting honest about our own experiences and how we chose to work through those experiences.  Most importantly we talk about how our dogs benefit when we can control and acknowledge our own frustration during our interactions with our dogs.Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/sometimestheressideeye/⁠⁠

Arsenal Frustration After Forest Draw | Seven Points Clear… But It Should've Been More

Joe and Lauri are back with their immediate, no-filter reactions to RuPaul's Drag Race Season 18, Episode 3. In this first-response episode of Big Takeaway, they break down a divisive RDR Live challenge, debate the judging, and ask the uncomfortable question: does this challenge even work anymore? Joe and Lauri assess whether the right queens landed in the top and bottom, and whether the correct winner and eliminated queen were chosen A spirited debate over Jane Don't vs. Juicy Love Dion, including how expectations, nerves, and runway presentation factor into the judges' decisions Frustration with the overall quality of the sketches, with comparisons to Saturday Night Live that do the queens no favors A larger critique of the RDR Live challenge itself, including whether it's fair—or even viable—for the current generation of queens Thoughts on performance anxiety, especially from queens expected to excel in comedy A breakdown of the lip sync, including whether track record ultimately determined the outcome Growing concern about what this episode signals for the upcoming Snatch Game Joe argues that RDR Live may be a fundamentally flawed challenge—one that asks queens to succeed at a format that even seasoned professionals struggle to execute well. Lauri agrees, pointing out that without proper rehearsal, writing support, or clear comedic direction, the challenge sets many contestants up to fail. Together, they question whether Drag Race should retire the format altogether—or radically rethink how it's produced. “At a certain point, you're not judging talent—you're judging who failed the least.” The full, moment-by-moment Drag Race Recap—with deeper analysis, runway discussion, and extended commentary—lives exclusively on Patreon and Apple Podcasts Subscriptions throughout the season.

Hour 2 of the Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima

Ken and Anthony talk about the Cavs' struggles this season and if their criticism of the team has been fair.

The barking, spinning, and “I'm out” crate dives aren't your dog being difficult—they're your dog asking for clarity. We dig into how frustration gets mislabeled as shutdown, and how a few simple changes to structure and language can transform a chaotic session into focused, joyful work. From sport dogs to family companions, this is a practical tour of routines, marker words, and walking rules that actually stick.We start by building a clean communication system: yes to release and pay movement toward you, good to reinforce duration in position, and no as a calm boundary paired with brief leash pressure. You'll hear how to condition yes so dogs chase you for multiple rewards, why varying payout matters, and how to use good to create a reliable implied stay. Then we zoom out to session flow—potty first, calm thresholds, a clear “Are you ready?” to open the window, and short working blocks with smart resets. It's a recipe for lowering stress without dimming drive.Heeling gets a clarity overhaul, too. We separate with me from a formal heel to prevent mixed messages, explain right- vs left-side criteria, and show how to handle a young or hot dog who “leaks” arousal. You'll get hand-target progressions, perch-to-floor pivots, and leash-pressure releases marked with yes to fix forging and crooked positions. We also cover real-home setups for door greetings and guests—leash for safety, neutral handler energy, timely pops or taps, and rewards for calm engagement—so your dog can process excitement without blowing up.Whether you're wrangling a border collie who's overflowing with energy or tuning up a pet dog who fakes calm, the playbook is the same: clearer cues, tighter windows, and kinder limits. Listen, take notes, and try the drills. If this helped, subscribe, share with a dog friend, and leave a quick review—what cue will you sharpen first?Visit us on the website here to see what we've got going on and how you can join our pack of good dogs and owners.

Lured Up Podcast 378 Live Streamed on - 1/12/2026 Publish Date - 1/15/2026 This week didn't finish too strong with some Trainers in the Community. While Pinch Perfect and its rotating Timed Research was a blast, Kyurem Fusion Raid Day left a bad taste in some Trainers' mouths. The inclusion of Reshiram and Zekrom in the Raid rotation hurt Trainers with less developed gameboards, as some reports saying that all the Raids in some rotations were not White or Black Kyurem, making the event fall flat until the opportunity arises to try it again during the next rotation. Adam brought up a great idea of putting Fusion Energy in Field Research for defeating Reshiram or Zekrom. This week brings High Zaptitude and a double release. Wattrel and Shiny Tadbulb make their debut during the event, giving two different Pokémon to chase that are available in different ways. You'll have to work to unlock Wattrel, as it is a Level 2 Reward of a Global Challenge, which confused some Trainers that didn't read the fine print. In all, this is a solid double header and a fun Electric event. Precious Pals and Precious Pals Taken Over will keep us busy in the week ahead, with Giovanni bringing Shadow Incarnate Forme Thundurus. We also have boosted Shinies for catching Goldeen, and hatching Espurr or Fidough. Make sure you remember to TM away Frustration before the event ends! Weekly Challenges added matchmaking and a bigger invite list this week. With the leveling grind being so popular, Weekly Challenges are a great way to fast track to Forever Friends. The Challenges themselves however, pose little to no actual challenge for moderate to hardcore Trainers. We spitball some ideas of how this mechanic can be developed to provide a tougher challenge while targeting Trainers of different skill and dedication levels. Finally we drop our top 5 gameplay loop lists and talk it through. From the Friendship Grind to Adam's Max Battle obsession, we dig into what keeps us engaged with the game and coming back for more.

DJ & PK examined the social media comments from University of Utah athletic director Mark Harlan about the Salesi Moa situation and if he was wrong to do it.

You are on slide 34 when the CFO's phone buzzes. She glances down. The VP to her left is nodding, but you can tell he checked out ten minutes ago. You know this pitch cold. You have rehearsed it. You built the deck. You covered every feature, every capability, every objection. And still, you are dying up there. You spent weeks on this presentation. None of it matters because everyone in that room has already sat through the same pitch from three other vendors this month. “Pitching sucks,” says Danny Fontaine, author of Pitch, on an episode of the Sales Gravy Podcast. “It sucks for the people doing it because we get so stressed out, and we spend weeks doing mountains of work. Meanwhile, there is a whole audience who has just as bad of a time as us because they have to sit through an hour of 100 PowerPoint slides and they're bored.” He is right. The audience suffers just as much. They sit through identical presentations, back to back, trying to remember which vendor said what. Both sides leave exhausted. No one wins. There is a better way. Effective sales pitch techniques don't rely on slides. They create engagement, tell stories, and turn monologues into conversations that actually move deals forward. Why Traditional Pitches Fail The standard pitch follows the same predictable pattern. Company overview. Capabilities. Case studies. Pricing. Questions at the end. Every competitor uses the same structure. That means you are asking your prospect to choose between nearly identical presentations. When everything looks the same, decision makers default to price or familiarity. Your carefully crafted message gets lost in the noise. You are treating the pitch like a presentation when it should be a conversation. You are trying to inform when you should be persuading. Experience Beats Information In 1979, a small advertising agency called Allen Brady and Marsh (ABM) competed against industry giant Saatchi & Saatchi for the British Rail account. ABM's founder, Peter Marsh, knew he couldn't win by playing it safe. When the British Rail executives arrived for the pitch, no one answered the door. They rang the buzzer three times before it finally opened, with no one behind it. The receptionist ignored them while filing her nails. The waiting area was filthy. After a while of being dismissed, the chairman stood up to leave. That is when Marsh burst through the doors and said, “Gentlemen, you have just experienced what your customers go through every single day. Shall we see what we can do to put it right?” ABM won the account. And it worked because the executives didn't just understand the problem. They felt it. Most sales pitches fail because they ask buyers to care before they are emotionally engaged. Information alone doesn't create urgency—experience does. Start With Them, Not You Pitches always start the same: ‘Thanks for your time. Here's our agenda. Let me tell you about our company.' Your prospect stops listening after the first sentence. If you want engagement, start with a question. Ask what matters to them. Ask what would make the time valuable. Ask what problem they are trying to solve. Before you show a single slide, say something like, “Before we start, what would make this conversation worth your time today?” Or, “What is the biggest challenge you are facing with this right now?” Those questions do three things immediately. They show respect. They give you intelligence. And they turn the pitch into a conversation from the first minute. This works even better over Zoom, where attention is fragile and distractions are everywhere. When you ask early questions, you pull people in instead of competing with their inbox. Stories Create Memory The most powerful stories aren't pulled from case studies. They come from real life. Every meaningful achievement involves obstacles. Those obstacles contain lessons. Those lessons connect directly to the challenges your prospects are facing. A story without relevance is just noise. A story with a clear lesson becomes a lever. A consultant once shared a story about buying a secondhand Lego set. She started building it, only to discover key pieces were missing. After hours of searching for replacements, she had to start over. When pitching a complex implementation, she said, “That taught me something. At the beginning of any project, we have to make sure all the pieces are in the bag.” That story worked because it made preparation tangible. It made risk visible. It connected emotionally and logically. If the story does not clearly support the point you are making, don't tell it. Ask Before You Lose Them Most salespeople cling to their script even when they can see the room drifting away. They are afraid of losing control, so they keep talking. That is how you lose the deal. Don't wait until the Q&A to ask questions. Sprinkle them throughout your pitch to keep your audience engaged and the conversation alive. Ask if you're hitting the mark, what they want to explore deeper, and what matters most to them. When you ask questions, you aren't giving up control. You are gaining it. The person asking the questions is always in control of the conversation. Emotion First, Logic Second Buyers like to believe they are rational. They are not. Emotion drives decisions. Logic justifies them. If you want someone to care, you have to make them feel something. Frustration. Relief. Possibility. Urgency. That is why the British Rail experience worked. Marsh didn't argue that customer service was bad. He made them experience it. The feeling came first. The logic followed. Once a buyer is emotionally engaged, they start looking for reasons to say yes. They look for data to support the decision they already want to make. This is why information-first pitches fall flat. You are asking people to care before you have given them a reason to. Create the emotional connection first. Then give them the facts. When the Room Goes Cold Even the best sales pitch techniques don't work every time. Sometimes the wrong people show up, there is a fire you didn't know about, or your message just doesn't land. When that happens, don't push harder. Pivot. Call it out. Ask what would be more valuable. Acknowledge the moment instead of pretending it is not happening. That level of honesty builds trust. It shows you are there to solve a problem, not deliver a performance. Why This Matters Your prospect didn't show up to be entertained or to be bored. When you give them an experience they didn't expect, you separate yourself from every competitor running the same tired deck. You become memorable. You become relevant. You become human. The pitch that feels risky is usually the one that wins. The personal story. The direct question. The willingness to have a real conversation. Because the alternative is being forgotten the moment you leave the room, no matter how many slides you showed. Want to take your pitch from forgettable to unforgettable? Download the FREE A.C.E.D. Buyer Style Playbook, which shows you exactly how to read your buyers, adapt your approach, and turn every conversation into a deal-closing opportunity.

Chelsea lose 3-2 at home to Arsenal in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg, but somehow remain very much alive in the tie. Manny and Simon review a chaotic night at Stamford Bridge where a heavily rotated Chelsea side managed to keep the deficit to one goal, despite Arsenal fielding a near full-strength XI and failing to take full advantage.The hosts break down the key moments that cost Chelsea — silly defensive mistakes, Robert Sánchez's errors, and once again a lack of discipline and basic fundamentals that continue to undermine the team. While the result wasn't ideal, the lads discuss why Chelsea can still believe heading into the second leg.Attention then turns to a massive Premier League West London derby at home to Brentford on Saturday. With pressure mounting and performances still inconsistent, can Chelsea respond in front of their own fans?

Apologies for lumping too many people into previous show's criticisms. Frustration is taking over. People who realize Trump conned them need to start getting LOUDER! Divide and Conquer. Time tested for success from governments throughout time. It works. And it's working on us right now.

Summary  I start the episode with a 50yo speech from Admiral Rickover, father of the Nuclear Navy about the importance of business ethics delivered just before our bicentennial that is just as relevant leading into the 250th celebration. Then I shift to break down a topic I find that most people don't understand - Whole life insurance policy loans with the Infinite Banking strategy are not magic or even special. What's special is the cash value backing it. Good rule to remember - loan interest rates simply reflect the risk. If rates are low, then the risk is really low. Life insurance companies historically offer the lowest rates anywhere because of the strength of the cash value.   Episode Highlights 00:00:14 - Misunderstanding policy loans. 00:01:17 - Frustration with misinformation in the industry. 00:01:32 - Admiral Hymen G. Rickover on America's strengths and risks. 00:03:56 - Founding principles: Freedom, life, liberty, and property. 00:05:22 - Rickover on capitalism and ethical business conduct. 00:06:14 - Business ethics vs. social responsibility. 00:07:42 - Moral legacy of America's Founding Fathers. 00:11:57 - Explaining life insurance policy cash value. 00:12:56 - Misconceptions about policy loan benefits. 00:15:00 - Concept of pooled risk in insurance. 00:15:46 - Insurance companies' resilience through black swan events. 00:20:02 - Admiral Rickover's relevance in today's ethical challenges. 00:23:20 - President Trump and America's global respect. 00:24:27 - Core message: Power of insurance comes from cash value.   Links and Resources from this Episode Connect with Gary Pinkerton https://www.paradigmlife.net/  gpinkerton@paradigmlife.net https://garypinkerton.com/  https://clientportal.paradigmlife.net/WealthView360     Keywords life insurance policy loans   infinite banking   cash value   ethical business conduct   Hymen Rickover   nuclear power   American legacy   capitalism and democracy   morality and ethics   wealth creation   insurance company stability   policyholder dividends   pooled risk   actuarial science   gold versus cash value   conservative values   community accountability   President Trump   American democracy   250th anniversary celebration

Dans cet épisode du format Le Déclic du podcast Sensées, Jenny Chammas, mastercoach certifiée et fondatrice de Coachappy, vous emmène dans les coulisses d'une séance de coaching pour comprendre ce qui se cache réellement derrière la difficulté à publier sur LinkedIn, à prendre la parole en réunion ou à s'exposer professionnellement. Cet épisode décortique en profondeur la peur du ridicule et montre comment commencer à agir malgré elle.Beaucoup de femmes expliquent leur silence par un manque de temps, d'inspiration ou de légitimité. Mais lorsque l'on creuse, on découvre souvent une peur plus profonde : celle d'être jugée, critiquée, moquée ou perçue comme incompétente. À travers l'histoire de Céline, consultante en marketing récemment lancée à son compte, vous découvrez comment la peur du ridicule peut paralyser l'action, nourrir la procrastination et entretenir l'autocensure, même chez des femmes compétentes et expérimentées.Dans cette séance de coaching, Jenny montre que la peur du ridicule n'est pas une faiblesse ni un défaut personnel. C'est une peur sociale ancienne, liée à notre besoin fondamental d'appartenance. Pour notre cerveau, être exposée et rejetée a longtemps représenté un danger réel. Aujourd'hui encore, la peur du ridicule déclenche des réactions physiques intenses : tension, rougeur, envie de se cacher, rumination. Le travail n'est donc pas de supprimer cette peur, mais de lui donner une autre place.Ce que vous saurez faire après écoute :– Comprendre pourquoi la peur du ridicule bloque votre prise de parole.– Identifier les mécanismes de honte et de peur du jugement à l'œuvre.– Faire la différence entre danger réel et peur sociale projetée.– Poser un premier pas simple pour vous rendre visible sans viser la perfection.– Transformer LinkedIn et les espaces d'expression en terrains d'expérimentation plutôt qu'en tribunaux.Cet épisode vous invite à changer de regard sur la visibilité. Publier, commenter ou prendre la parole ne sont pas des tests de valeur personnelle, mais des opportunités d'apprentissage et de croissance. La peur du ridicule peut rester présente, mais elle cesse d'être aux commandes lorsque vous choisissez d'agir en cohérence avec ce que vous voulez transmettre.

In this unedited, on-site conversation with cosmologist Dr. Brian Keating, we examine what counts as evidence in modern physics by pressing on one of cosmology's most trusted observations: the cosmic microwave background. The discussion centers on a core tension between measurement and interpretation—specifically whether a near-perfect black body spectrum can reasonably be attributed to an early-universe plasma. As assumptions about the Big Bang, black body radiation, and material physics are questioned, the exchange becomes increasingly uncomfortable, revealing how deeply theoretical commitments shape scientific judgment. What emerges is not a verdict, but a rare, unfiltered look at how evidence, authority, and first principles collide in contemporary physics.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-here00:00 Go!

Frustration over hidebound, fine-inclined homeowners associations sparks a legislative bill to allow their dissolution.

Guest: Professor Evan Ellis. Events in Caracas are shaping upcoming elections in Brazil and Colombia, pushing leaders like Lula toward moderation to appease centrist voters. In Colombia, frustration with President Petro's policies and security failures may favor right-wing candidates. Meanwhile, Peru's election focuses on public insecurity and deep Chinese investment.

 Robb experienced extreme fatigue, weakness, and dangerous bleeding episodes due to his condition, which required him to take up to 16 different medications daily including high-dose steroids and undergo multiple blood transfusions.Medical treatments included experimental procedures and a splenectomy, but doctors eventually told Robb his options were running out and suggested either an expensive experimental drug costing $600 per week or radiation therapy.A young man from Robb's church suggested medical cannabis as a treatment option, which initially angered Robb who questioned how marijuana could help when scientists and doctors couldn't determine what was wrong with him.Research into cannabis led Robb to discover Rick Simpson's story, Dr. Rafael's work from Israel, and most importantly US Patent 6630507B1 which lists cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants for autoimmune diseases.After the splenectomy failed to improve his condition, Robb obtained his medical cannabis certification in Michigan in 2008 and purchased his first gram of Rick Simpson oil for $80 from a compassion club.Initial dosing began with tiny amounts using a toothpick to extract small portions of the oil throughout the day, as Robb considered himself a lightweight when it came to THC effects.Lifestyle changes accompanied the cannabis treatment including adopting an organic diet, eliminating processed foods, and studying the immune system to understand how nutrition affects overall health.Within one week of starting cannabis oil treatment and detoxing from prescription medications, Robb returned to work after being unable to work for over a year and a half.Robb became a licensed caregiver in Michigan, growing cannabis for five patients and eventually operating a 24/7 drive-through dispensary in 2016 with an on-site MD for patient certifications.Partnership with Dr. Calasperius beginning in 2020 created a comprehensive treatment approach combining traditional medical examinations with customized cannabis formulations based on patient needs and tolerance levels.Success story involved treating a six-month-old baby named Anastasia who was experiencing 100 seizures daily, using only CBD, CBG, and CBN without THC to eliminate her need for toxic narcotics.Frustration remains with public misconceptions about cannabis despite extensive patent evidence and 17 years of safe processing and provision in Michigan without any lawsuits or liability cases.Educational efforts continue to promote cannabis in all forms including hemp hearts for nutrition, emphasizing that the plant can provide food, housing, clothing, energy, and medicine while encouraging people to think independently about their health.Current operations focus on community wellness through the website communitywellness.life, offering various cannabis products including infused honey from a third-generation wildflower honey farm.

Welcome to a powerful and heartfelt episode of the Compared to Who? podcast, hosted by Heather Creekmore. In this episode, Heather chats with three real women—Patricia, Diane, and Jess—who have courageously walked through coaching and programs to improve their body image and relationship with food. If you’re tired of feeling stuck in food obsession, diet culture, or shame around your body, this episode is for you! Episode Highlights: The guests share honestly about their lifelong battles with body image, food restriction, calorie counting, and the underlying fears and shame that kept them trapped for years. Patricia Reveals how she lived in “body image bondage” for nearly two decades, mistaking strict dieting for freedom until she discovered the faith-based approach of Compared to Who? and began her journey to genuine freedom. Diane At age 71, reflects on six decades of food obsessions and restricting behaviors, and how finally integrating her faith with her eating and body image struggles began her transformation. Jess Shares how she didn’t realize she even had body image issues until after having kids; she discusses the shame of living in a bigger body, the mental exhaustion of chasing diets, and how true freedom finally came through the support and tools offered in the coaching group. The women and Heather explore the themes of fear, idolatry, objectification, and the dynamic between self-worth and body size. Hear practical, inspiring stories about breaking the cycle of daily weigh-ins, obsessive thoughts, and moralizing food choices. Each guest describes how participation in the 40 Day Body Image Journey, the Body Image Freedom Framework, and intuitive eating coaching offered loving accountability, lasting mindset shifts, and deepened connection to God’s truth about their identity. The episode closes with encouragement for anyone who feels stuck, scared to start, or believes they’re “too old” or “too late” for change. Key Takeaways: Lasting body image freedom isn’t about reaching your “ideal weight”—it’s about shifting your perspective, breaking fear-driven cycles, and finding your worth in God, not a number on the scale. Healing comes in community: support, vulnerability, and shared struggle are powerful in bringing freedom from shame and isolation. No matter your age or how long you’ve struggled, there is hope and there is help.

Let me guess. It's a new year, and you're supposed to feel motivated. Excited. Ready for a fresh start. But instead? You just feel tired. Tired of being tired. Tired of trying. Tired of feeling like you're starting over AGAIN with your eating disorder recovery. Everywhere you look, you're being bombarded with "new year, new you" messages. Detoxes. Transformation challenges. Fresh starts. Clean slates. And if you're in ED recovery, you know exactly what that pressure feels like—and how triggering it is. Here's what I need you to hear: A calendar flipping to January 1st doesn't magically fix anything. But there IS one emotion that will actually get you out of ED hell. And it's probably not what you think.

This isn't your typical "be kind to yourself" recovery talk. This is me calling you out with love, getting you MAD, and helping you channel that anger into the fuel you need to actually change. In this episode, you'll discover: Why "new year, new you" is toxic garbage (especially in ED recovery) The ONE emotion that will actually get you out of ED hell (hint: it's frustration) Why feeling "sick of yourself" isn't weakness—it's readiness My personal story of how I had to get ANGRY with myself to finally stop playing games with recovery What your eating disorder has actually taken from you over the years (and how many more years you're going to let it take) 3 powerful action steps to channel your frustration: plate-throwing, journaling prompts, and the anger letter The raw, unfiltered reality of what recovery actually takes (no sugarcoating) Why you need to stop negotiating with your ED and start getting pissed off enough to do something different If you're done playing victim to your own story. If you're sick of half-assing your recovery. If you're ready to get FRUSTRATED enough to finally take action—this episode is for you. Let's go.
