Syria's economic capital Aleppo was left largely in ruins by the fighting that raged there between regime and rebel forces from 2012 to 2016. A 2023 earthquake also caused severe damage to the old city. But reconstruction is now well underway, in particular of Aleppo's treasured historic monuments.

#334 Billy answers three listener questions from a recent SCW event in Atlanta, all from female fitness entrepreneurs facing different business decisions. The episode matters because each question gets at a core business issue: how to change your model without losing money, how to validate an offer before going all in, and how to turn a high-paying job into a real business. In this episode: Billy breaks down how to decide whether to leave the floor or reduce one-on-one training hours by running the numbers first. He explains why a gradual transition is usually safer than an all-or-nothing move when shifting from private training to other models. He shares why "proof of concept" matters before investing in a facility, especially when the offer may work online or in a hybrid format. He emphasizes the importance of clear messaging and a specific offer, rather than trying to help everybody. He walks through what it takes to move from "I'm making money" to "I run a business," including separate finances, goals, and accountability. He stresses that knowing what you want is part of the decision, not just what will make the most money. He uses simple math examples to show how changing pricing, trainer splits, and session volume affects income. He challenges listeners to use plain language when describing what they do instead of industry jargon. He encourages business owners to work on the business, not just in it, and to build wealth outside the business too. Key frameworks: Know your numbers before changing your model Gradual transition instead of all-or-nothing change Proof of concept before overhead Message and offer clarity Separate business and personal finances Professional-level effort for professional-level results To send in a question for Billy, contact him through www.yourfitnessmoneycoach.com or through Instagram.

In this episode, Lisa Wenstrup, PhD., an audiologist with UC Health (University of Cincinnati), shares how hearing changes as we age—often starting with difficulty hearing high frequencies and understanding speech in background noise. You'll learn why hearing loss isn't always “just an older-person” issue, how earbuds and modern listening environments can contribute, and what early signals like muffled sounds may mean for your day-to-day life.

Sis, today we're talking about escaping excessive exercise — because rest is required in recovery. If you never miss a Monday… if you work out every single day… if you alter your vacations around getting a workout in… if you carry insane guilt and punish yourself later when you miss one… if you skip social plans to exercise, or your routine is affecting your marriage and your family… if you restrict your food on the days you move less — this episode is yours. I've been exactly where you are, and I'm proof you can lay this down. My clients are proof. And sis, you can be proof too. Why this happens (and why it's not your fault) This is so common for women struggling with disordered eating. Why? Because you've learned to cut corners. Cut calories. Take away. Survive on less in every way possible. You've manipulated your food to do it — and you've manipulated your body and your movement to do it, too. I didn't start out working out twice a day. I didn't start out doing compulsive movements on my bedroom floor just to burn a little more. None of it happened overnight. The disorder built it over time while I ran on fumes. I was a cardio queen who genuinely believed she loved that life. Letting it go was one of the hardest parts of my recovery — and what saved me was discovering movement that had nothing to do with burning anything. Mindful meditation. Yoga. Experiencing my body for the first time without a calorie counter attached. And I've watched a client go from 7 days a week at nearly two hours a day… to 3 days a week at 30 minutes. If that feels impossible to you right now, stay with me. 5 steps to release excessive exercise 1. Get real with your current routine. Write it out. How much, how often, how long? Then write out the feelings — what comes up when you don't get a workout in? What's the anxiety like around when you'll fit it in? What rises up in you at the mere suggestion of cutting back? Awareness has to come before change. 2. Understand the power of permission. You must grant yourself permission — with exercise and with food. So much of the panic around cutting back is really about permission you've never given yourself. What you give your mind power over is what will have power over you. Voice the permission out loud: "I've run my body ragged for years, and I can choose to live differently." 3. Picture your future recovered self. How much does she exercise? Does she really want to be on a treadmill every single day — or is she at brunch with her family? For me, the honest answer was: I want to meditate. I want yoga. I want to relax. Some days I want to do nothing at all. Ask yourself honestly: is my current routine enjoyable, or is it an obligation driven by fear? (And be ready — there's an identity shift in this one. "I'm just someone who loves the gym" was a badge of honor for me until I got honest about it.) 4. Pick one tangible, small goal. Get off the treadmill five minutes early. Replace Monday's workout with journal time. Then actually put your rest days on the calendar — society tells you to pen in your gym time, so do the reverse and pen in your rest. Planning in advance sets positive intent, which builds momentum, which gets you the result. 5. Progress, not perfection. If you decide in advance to rest and then catch yourself scheming a workout anyway — that's not failure, sis. That's awareness. That's growth. You're going against diet culture and beliefs you've held as truth for years. Give yourself grace. It's okay to not work out today It's okay to rest if… Your body is telling you to slow down You're trying something new with your time Life is overrun with work, family, and obligations You're sick You're not nourishing your body enough You're hurting or injured You're struggling with body image today You're making time to fill your own cup or chase a dream True happiness is making peace with what's no longer serving you — and creating a healthier version of it. A few lines from the episode "Rest is required in recovery. It's a non-negotiable." "What you give your mind power over is what will have power over you." "None of it happened overnight — the disorder built it over time while I ran on fumes." "This workout isn't going to matter in five years. It isn't going to matter in two weeks." "That's not failure — that's growth, awareness, evolving, learning." "If you're listening to me right now on the treadmill… get off of it. This is your permission." Your permission slip this week Choose the days you're not going to work out — and put them on the calendar like an appointment. Then pick something purposeful to fill that time: a coffee date with someone you love, a phone call, a journal session, or absolutely nothing at all. There's no right or wrong way to do this. Gradual works. Cold turkey works. What matters is honoring yourself and your body. Connect with Lindsey:

This AI:AM highlights cut brings together Cameron Berg, David Duvenaud, Michiel Bakker, Shawn “swyx” Wang, and Bing Xu to examine what we understand about frontier AI systems and what happens as more decisions move into their hands. Berg grounds model-consciousness debates in experiments on architecture, agency, valence, and welfare, while Duvenaud argues that even well-aligned AI could gradually disempower humans through ordinary economic choices. Bakker frames Europe's AI challenge as a sovereignty problem, and swyx turns to practitioner stakes around agents, evals, maintainable code, and who owns the system of record. Xu closes the loop at the infrastructure layer, arguing that self-improving compute and GPU-kernel automation may deepen rather than weaken the CUDA moat.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Grab your Hosea Scripture Journal right now. Our text today is Hosea 7:8-10: Ephraim mixes himself with the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned. Strangers devour his strength, and he knows it not; gray hairs are sprinkled upon him, and he knows it not. The pride of Israel testifies to his face; yet they do not return to the Lord their God, nor seek him, for all this. — Hosea 7:8-10 You can be in decline and not know it. That is Hosea's warning to Ephraim in this text. They are "a cake not turned"—burned on the unseen bottom, raw on the top, therefore useless all the way through. This is an image of people who look developed on one side and undeveloped on the other. Strong on appearance. Weak in substance. Confident outwardly. Decaying inwardly. Then Hosea reveals that this state results in: "Strangers devour[ing] his strength, and he knows it not." Their half-baked state led to them losing power, influence, vitality, and stability—and they had no awareness of it. The enemies were consuming them while they carried on as if nothing were wrong. Then note verse 9: "Gray hairs are sprinkled upon him, and he knows it not." "Gray hairs" are early signs of weakness; they were already visible. Time had exposed what their pride refused to admit. You can lose spiritual stability slowly and barely notice it. Prayer becomes rare. Hunger for Scripture fades. Spiritual conviction grows quiet. Worship becomes less routine. Sin becomes easier. All the while, pride increases. And because collapse is so gradual, our present state can feel normal. That is the gradual danger of being a half-baked Christian. You know enough truth to feel secure, but not enough surrender to be transformed. You have a little maturity in one area, but neglect in another big area of your life. You look solid publicly while privately depleted spiritually. Then Hosea names the real issue in verse 10: "The pride of Israel testifies to his face… yet they do not return." Pride is what keeps weak people from seeking help. Pride is what keeps drifting people from turning back. Pride is what makes people defend a condition that is already failing. So don't ignore the warning signs in your soul. If spiritual strength is fading, return to God. If spiritual hunger is gone, return to God. If spiritual compromise is growing, return to God. If your pride is resisting, return to God. Because the greatest danger is not weakness; instead, it is the weakness you refuse to admit. And the path back begins the moment you lay down your pride, stop pretending, and start seeking God. DO THIS: Identify one sign of spiritual decline in your life and respond today with one concrete step of return—prayer, confession, Scripture, or obedience. ASK THIS: Where am I weaker than I want to admit? What warning signs have I ignored? Is pride keeping me from returning to God? PRAY THIS: God, keep me from hidden decline. Show me where I have drifted, humble my heart, and lead me back to you today. Amen. PLAY THIS: "I Need Thee Every Hour"

Nick Lloyd. Guest Nick Lloyd examines the British entry into the war, characterizing it as a gradual process hampered by friction between key leaders like Prime Minister Asquith, Lord Kitchener, and Sir John French. Initially, the British sent a tiny expeditionary force of just four divisions, which the French viewed with constant hunger for more manpower. Lloyd details the massive expansion of the British army to sixty divisions within eighteen months, a transformation managed by the overwhelmed Sir John French, who eventually broke down under the stress of mounting casualties. Following French's departure, David Lloyd George emerged as a revitalizing force in the Ministry of Munitions and later as Prime Minister. However, Lloyd George's tenure was marked by constant strategic disagreements and backstabbing involving Sir Douglas Haig and Sir William Robertson. This source frames the British effort as a complex evolution from a limited colonial force to a massive industrial army entangled in intense political and military rivalries. 4

Stop Living Like You're Going To Run Out On June 25, 1967, the Beatles debuted a new song during the first live international satellite broadcast in human history. Roughly 350 million people across 25 countries tuned in at once. It was the first time technology had connected the world in real time, and the most influential band on the planet had the chance to say anything they wanted to all of it. They chose “All You Need Is Love.” Credit where it's due: they weren't wrong about the diagnosis. We do need love. Our families need it, our communities need it, you need it. But the Summer of Love built its vision on a definition of love untethered from commitment, more about self-expression than self-sacrifice, more about discovering yourself than denying yourself for someone else. We're still living in the wake of that definition. There's a sad irony here too. Less than three years after that broadcast, the band that sang “all you need is love” had broken up. We shouldn't judge them too quickly, though. We're all prone to the same thing. Marriages fall apart. Friendships dissolve. Churches split. Left in our own power, none of us are naturally quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger. A Letter Without a Fire to Put Out Paul's letter to the Ephesians stands apart from his other letters in an important way. Most of Paul's writing is reactive. He writes to Corinth because they keep finding creative new ways to sin. He writes to the Thessalonians because they've quit their jobs, convinced the end is imminent. He writes to Timothy because fear has gotten the better of him. Ephesians isn't putting out a fire. Paul is painting a picture: a church where enemies become family, where broken people are made whole, where love isn't just defined but actually displayed. And right at the hinge point of the letter, before he tells anyone how to live or love, Paul drops to his knees and prays. Specifically, he prays that the church would be filled with the fullness of God's love. Why start there? Because your vision of God's love determines the shape of your entire life. If you believe God is distant, you'll live anxious. If you believe his love must be earned, you'll live like a performer. If you believe he's withholding, you'll live fearful and controlling. But if you believe he delights in you, you'll live secure. There's a real difference between knowing God loves you and actually believing it. Gradual, and Multi-Sensory Paul's prayer reveals two things about how this comprehension actually happens. First, it doesn't happen all at once. Paul prays in a kind of staircase: being strengthened in your inner being, then Christ taking up full residence in your heart (not just visiting, but holding keys to every door, including the ones you keep locked), then becoming rooted and grounded in love as your actual operating system, and finally being filled with the fullness of God. This is the slow work of spiritual formation, becoming a person with greater and greater capacity to both receive and give love. Second, it doesn't happen in one way. We tend to assume love is something you learn in a classroom, like memorizing facts about the ocean. But Paul prays that we'd “know Christ's love that surpasses knowledge.” That's not something you take care of in a single lecture. It's something closer to diving into the water itself. You experience God's love in community, when people pull their chairs closer instead of pulling away from your honesty. You experience it in practice, in things like Sabbath rest, which you can't learn from a textbook, only from doing it. You experience it through the Holy Spirit, who ministers directly to your deepest wounds. And you experience it in both moments and marathons: the instant where you finally feel like you don't have to hide anymore, and the long seasons of endurance that shape you over years. The Problem Was Never Scarcity A couple adopted a five-year-old girl from Haiti named Addie, whose parents had died in an accident. Her first night in her new home, she watched her two teenage brothers devour an entire dinner and clear the table. She went quiet, convinced she'd just witnessed the last meal she'd see for a while. Her new mother didn't just tell her there was more food. She walked her to the fridge, the pantry, the freezer, and showed her everything. “Honey, you'll never go hungry again.” That's what Paul is doing in this prayer. He's opening the fridge. He's opening the pantry. He's saying: stop living like an orphan. Stop living like God's love is scarce. Look around. There is more than enough. The problem was never a shortage of God's love. The problem is our capacity to receive it. Many of us are sitting at the Father's table still living like we're starving.

History often remembers elections by who won and who lost. But some elections matter because they reveal deeper changes taking place beneath the surface. The election of 1972 was one of those moments. Many of us consider it to be the landslide that changed America. Those of us who witnessed that time period remember that only four years earlier, America had experienced one of the most turbulent periods in its history. The assassinations of Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy, riots in cities across the nation, anti-war protests, and the bitter divisions of the Vietnam era left many Americans wondering what had happened to the country they thought they knew. By 1972, those wounds had not healed. In fact, in many cases, they seemed to have gotten worse. The war continued. Protests continued. The arguments over race, culture, and the future of America continued. Yet something important had changed. Many Americans were no longer simply reacting to the turmoil. They were choosing sides. And in November of 1972, they made their choice overwhelmingly clear. The Long Shadow of 1968 For myself, the years between 1968 and 1972 felt unsettled. In 1968 I had graduated from high school in Houston and in 1969 I had enlisted in the Coast Guard amid one of the most turbulent periods in modern American history. By 1972, many of the arguments that had erupted during the 1960s were still raging. Yet something had changed. Americans were no longer simply arguing about the future. Increasingly, they were choosing sides. The Vietnam War remained a constant presence in American life. Young men continued to receive draft notices. Families continued to watch casualty reports on the evening news. College campuses became centers of protest. Then came May 1970. At Kent State University, National Guard troops opened fire on student demonstrators. I was serving as a radio man at the Coast Guard Radio Station in San Francisco. Emotions ran high as people found out that: Four students were killed. The images shocked the nation. For some Americans, the protests represented necessary dissent. For others, they symbolized disorder and disrespect. The divide widened. The same events were producing entirely different reactions depending on who was watching. Nixon's Appeal Richard Nixon understood something many politicians had missed. Millions of Americans were exhausted. They were tired of violence. Tired of unrest. Tired of uncertainty. In speech after speech, Nixon spoke of what he called the "silent majority." These were Americans who were not marching in the streets, not appearing on television, and not leading protests. They were raising families. Working jobs. Paying mortgages. Watching the evening news and wondering whether anyone was still in control. Nixon promised stability. Order. Gradual change rather than revolution. Whether one agreed with him or not, his message resonated with millions of voters. George McGovern and a Different Vision The Democrats nominated Senator George McGovern. McGovern represented a very different vision of America. He opposed the Vietnam War. He appealed strongly to younger voters, activists, and many who believed the country needed more dramatic social change. His campaign energized parts of the Democratic Party. But it also exposed growing divisions within the coalition that had dominated American politics since Franklin Roosevelt. Many working-class voters who had once been reliable Democrats felt increasingly disconnected from the party's direction. The old alliance was beginning to crack. The Great Realignment Begins The election results were stunning. Nixon carried forty-nine states. McGovern won only Massachusetts and the District of Columbia. Even many states that had supported Democratic candidates for generations voted Republican. It was one of the largest electoral victories in American history. Yet the significance of 1972 was not simply the size of Nixon's victory. The election revealed new political fault lines that would shape the decades ahead. White Southern voters continued moving toward the Republican Party. Many suburban voters became increasingly Republican. Working-class ethnic voters who had once formed the backbone of Democratic strength began drifting away. The New Deal coalition that had dominated American politics for nearly forty years was weakening. A new political map was emerging. The Contradictions Yet even as Nixon celebrated victory, trouble was already brewing. Just months earlier, operatives connected to Nixon's reelection campaign had been caught breaking into Democratic headquarters at the Watergate complex. At the time, almost nobody imagined that a minor break-in would eventually bring down a president. After all, at the time, the incident seemed minor. Few Americans paid much attention. The landslide victory overshadowed everything. But history would soon reveal that one of the greatest electoral triumphs in American history carried within it the seeds of one of the greatest political scandals. For the moment, however, most Americans saw only the victory. The scandal was still hidden in the shadows. Closing Looking back, 1972 was more than a landslide election. It was a snapshot of a nation searching for stability after years of upheaval. The arguments that had erupted during the 1960s had not disappeared. But voters were beginning to sort themselves into new political coalitions. The old Democratic dominance was fading. A modern Republican coalition was taking shape. The political map Americans recognize today was beginning to emerge. And while Watergate would soon shake the nation once again, the deeper story of 1972 was not simply about Richard Nixon. It was about millions of Americans trying to decide what kind of country would emerge from the turmoil of the previous decade. In many ways, that debate continues to this day. "At the time, none of us knew how this story was going to end." Looking back, 1972 was more than a landslide election. I still have a Presidential Certificate of Appreciation from those years, signed by Richard Nixon during my service in the Coast Guard. At the time, it was simply a certificate from the Commander-in-Chief. Like most Americans, I had no way of knowing how dramatically the story of that presidency would unfold. History has a way of doing that. We live through events one day at a time, rarely seeing where they will lead. Only years later do we begin to understand how the pieces fit together. And in many ways, the America that emerged from 1972 is still the America we live in today.

Your goal might be completely realistic, and still feel impossible because you're trying to achieve it on your impatient timeline.I'm Angela Shurina, and I want to challenge the “zero to hero” approach that makes so many smart, motivated people burn out, quit, and then decide they are the problem. They're not. The plan is. I use a simple analogy that makes the process of change obvious: Couch to 5K. Nobody expects to go from the couch to a marathon in a day, yet we expect that leap with eating well, sleeping better, exercising, intermittent fasting, relationships, and business growth. Real transformation is capacity building. It is gradual, consistent, and sometimes almost boring, and that is exactly why it works. We also get practical about sustainable weight loss and behavior change. If 1,600 calories a day makes you hungry, cranky, and ready to quit, that is not moral failure. It is data. We talk about smaller calorie steps, longer timelines, and why even elite athletes often get better results with a gentler approach and diet breaks. Then we apply the same logic to business coaching, content creation, sales calls, and the psychological skills that make “a lot of work” feel easy over time. If you've been stuck in all or nothing thinking, this is your reset.Listen, pick one goal, scale it down until you can repeat it, and start building the version of you who can sustain it.Subscribe for more on coaching, stress, sleep, and lasting change, and if this lands for you, share it with an impatient friend who's failing because they go too fast.What's one area where you're rushing the timeline?Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina  Certified Health, Sleep, Performance & Executive Coach 360 with 18 years of experience helping people change to feel, be and do their best.

Only got 6 weeks to get Swole by Summer? This episode will show you EXACTLY what to do:  [0:00:03] Six-Week "Get Jacked and Lean" Question Framing the core question: what to do in six weeks to look impressive at the beach/pool Brief expectation-setting: six weeks is enough for noticeable change, not total transformation [0:01:00] Introduction to Aleks ("Hebrew Hammer") & Training Background Aleks' personal training experience since 2010 Specialties: kettlebells, calisthenics, natural human movement, old-school bodybuilding, "True Grit" Philosophy: most answers are already within you; success is about arranging habits correctly [0:02:30] General Strategy: Move Every Day Daily movement as a non‑negotiable Pat Flynn guitar analogy: frequent practice beats occasional marathons Simple ideas: parking farther away, taking stairs, casual movement throughout the day [0:04:00] Weekly Training Framework Suggested structure: 3 days: traditional strength training (compound presses, pulls, squats, hinges) 2 days: intermediate / "in‑between" work (cardio or other chosen exercises) 2 days: "off" from hard training, but still walking and light movement Distinction between "moving every day" vs. "training hard every day" [0:06:00] Protein & Diet Fundamentals Protein at every meal Recommended intake: 0.7–1.0 g per pound of lean bodyweight Avoiding excessive protein obsession; importance of also getting fats, carbs, fruits, and vegetables Why supplements and fad diets are overhyped compared to basic nutrition "Gun to the head" test for healthy eating: lean meats, fruits, vegetables, whole foods [0:09:00] Muscle Building vs. Strength Training Focus Defining strength training (lower reps, more sets, more neural efficiency) Defining muscle building (working near failure with fewer hard sets) Example: 10‑rep max exercise used for 1–5 reps (strength) vs. 8–9 reps (hypertrophy) Quoting Lee Priest: "Stimulate, don't annihilate" – pushing hard without crippling recovery Why the beach cares more about visible muscle than pure nervous system strength [0:12:00] Getting Lean: Why Diet Dominates Importance of leanness even without massive new muscle Rough breakdown of daily calorie burn: ~60% basal metabolic rate ~10–15% general movement ~5% formal exercise Practical takeaway: diet quality and quantity drive fat loss more than workouts [0:14:00] Sleep, Recovery, and Hormones Sleep as a major lever for: Recovery from training Hormone production (e.g., testosterone) Reducing cravings for sugar- and carb‑dense foods Modern challenges: artificial light, doom‑scrolling Tease of future content on sleep improvement strategies [0:15:30] Loaded Gait Pattern Work: Concept & Benefits Explanation of "loaded gait pattern work" (walking/carrying weight) Why gait is the most natural human movement pattern Claim: loaded carries are powerful for fat loss and strength support, even with modest weights Idea that you can build muscle and lose fat simultaneously beyond just beginners if done intelligently [0:17:00] Real-World Success Stories with Loaded Carries & Crawling Crawl-A-Days Challenge examples: ER doctor Judson Korn: big strength gains (one‑arm pushup) in ~14 days without specific practice Lina Everby: noticeable fat loss and visible abs within ~14 days Malcolm McAllen: visible abs within ~30 days from 10 minutes of crawling per day Nine-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge: Program overview and purpose Link mention: nineminutechallenge.com (9minutechallenge.com) [0:19:00] More Loaded Carry Examples & Case Studies Matt Furey's story of the Canadian farmer: 60-day journey carrying a 40 lb weight Gradual progression to 10 short walks per day Result: ~30 lbs lost, very lean, PRs in pullups and pushups at ~60 years old Jamie Lewis' Amazon warehouse story: Pushing moderate-weight carts at a steady pace Rapid fat loss despite eating lots of pizza and being off steroids Reinforcing loaded gait as a practical, almost "accidental" fat loss strategy [0:21:00] Practical Six-Week "Swole for Summer" Recap Daily movement with 3 days of compound strength/muscle-building sessions Minimum 5 days per week of loaded gait work 2 lighter days (still walking/moving) Protein at each meal (0.7–1 g per pound of lean bodyweight) Emphasis on: Muscle-focused training (near-limit sets, low volume) Less emphasis on endless kettlebell ballistics for leanness vs. loaded gait Improved diet and better sleep as primary leanness drivers [0:22:00] "Swole by Summer" Program Tease & Call to Action Announcement of the upcoming 6‑week "Swole by Summer" program Program focus areas: "Movability" (flexibility, mobility, coordination) Brief strength sessions to "prime" high-threshold motor units Specific muscle-building work, including some avant‑garde movements Dedicated loaded gait work for leanness and "showing off" built muscle Managing expectations: you won't go from Woody Allen to Arnold Schwarzenegger in six weeks, but you can make dramatic, visible changes How to get updates and access: Join email list via http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com (and get the FREE 9 Minute Challenge, to boot!)

Empowering Wellness: Exercise as Medicine for Mind and Body Welcome to another episode from our series exploring the profound impact of taking deliberate actions on various aspects of health, where today, we're delving into the interplay between physical exercise and mental health - particularly in individuals living with chronic illnesses. In a deeply engaging conversation with Dr. Sue Broadbent, a clinical exercise physiologist, we unravel the subtle yet powerful benefits of tailored exercise regimens for those with conditions like fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Discovering the Path Dr. Sue's journey into exercise science was an unexpected detour from her initial career as a high school teacher specializing in art and photography. It wasn't until her thirties, when she took up distance running, that her path led to academia and research, ultimately focusing on chronic conditions like ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome. With a personal connection through friends and family affected by these conditions, her work strives to bridge the gap in understanding and managing these illnesses through research and evidence-based practice. Exercise as a Gentle Healer One of the focal points of Dr. Sue's research is the transformative potential of aquatic exercise. Water's unique properties offer a gentle resistance environment which simultaneously promotes strength without exacerbating symptoms. The buoyancy relieves joint pressure, making it an inviting option for those who experience muscular pain and fatigue. Mental Health and Movement In our discussion, Dr. Sue emphasized how regular, self-paced physical activity can significantly boost mental health. The release of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine during exercise contributes to enhanced mood and reduced anxiety, even in severe cases of depression. Moreover, engaging in group exercises fosters social connections, providing a shared space for understanding and support which is crucial to those dealing with chronic conditions. Personal Stories and Professional Insight Our conversation also touched on personal experiences that resonate deeply with many navigating chronic health challenges. For instance, I share my journey through fibromyalgia, chronic pain, and how commitment to an exercise regimen, albeit challenging, cultivated resilience and self-efficacy. Addressing Myths and Misconceptions A recurring theme was the deconstruction of myths surrounding exercise and chronic conditions. A common misconception is that physical activity can worsen fatigue. In reality, when approached with a tailored, paced strategy, exercise can serve as a catalyst for improved energy levels and mental clarity. Practical Strategies for Moving Forward Dr. Sue offers valuable strategies for those anxious about integrating movement into their routine. Gradual, self-paced attempts—like five minutes of exercise—are celebrated wins, paving the way for longer-term health goals without overwhelming the individual. It advocates for finding joy in movement, whether it be Tai Chi, yoga, or simple home exercises built into daily routines. An Exciting Frontier in Research Looking ahead, Dr. Sue expressed enthusiasm for ongoing research, especially studies delving into strength training's potential benefits for those with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. Projects led by passionate researchers, including one of her PhD students who brings personal experience to her work, aim to develop practical, impactful guidelines for both patients and healthcare providers. Final Thoughts Our dialogue with Dr. Sue highlights the indispensable role of exercise as both a physical and psychological rehabilitative tool. By fostering patience, adaptability, and informed choice in exercise practices, individuals with chronic illnesses can find empowerment and improvement in their quality of life. I invite you to listen to Dr. Sue's insights that they may well inspire your approach to health and wellness, whether you're living with chronic conditions or simply curious about the healing power of physical activity. Join us in this ongoing journey - where knowledge meets personal experience, and compassion drives innovative solutions for those navigating the challenges of Complex Mental Health.

Send us Fan Mail Most of us have been taught that anger is the problem. Suppress it. Control it. Push it down. But what if the emotion itself was never the real issue? What if the real work is understanding the story the mind builds in the moments before anger takes hold? This is not a conversation about anger management tips. It is a conversation about the nature of mind. Rev. Amitha Khema, ordained Buddhist monk, Buddhist Chaplain at George Washington University, and mindfulness teacher at the Buddha Meditation Center of Greater Washington DC, brings a grounded, deeply practical perspective to one of the most misunderstood human emotions. This episode explores how internal stories create feelings, why holding anger is more harmful than feeling it, and how the simple act of noticing your breath can begin to change the way you relate to everything that arises within you. About the Guest: Rev. Amitha Khema is an ordained Buddhist monk and the Buddhist Chaplain at George Washington University. He is an IMTA-certified mindfulness teacher and serves the Greater Washington DC community through the Buddha Meditation Center of Greater Washington DC. He leads weekly online meditation sessions every Thursday from 8 to 9 PM Eastern Time, open to practitioners worldwide, and hosts in-person programs for the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area. An evaluation of the Center's programs found that 82% of participants reported relief from depression or sadness, and 75% reported reduced stress and anxiety following meditation practice. Key Takeaways: Feeling anger is not the problem. Holding anger is. Anger that arises and passes is a natural part of being human. Anger that we clutch and carry is the source of ongoing suffering, for ourselves far more than for anyone else. Every feeling arises from a story. The story may be true, partly true, or entirely a misreading of a situation. Until we learn to examine the story, we will keep reacting to a version of events that may not reflect what actually happened. There are four gradual stages of working with anger: acting before you realise, acting and recognising it, pausing and removing yourself, and finally having the tools to cool yourself before reacting. Progress through each stage is real growth. Anger never produces good decisions. When you are in anger, your perception is filtered, your judgment is impaired, and the choices you make in that state are more likely to cause harm and regret. Waiting until you have cooled down produces more accurate and more compassionate decisions. Unmet expectations are one of the most common sources of anger. When the picture in your mind does not match the reality in front of you, that gap creates pain. Training yourself to hold expectations lightly is a form of genuine freedom. The brain can rewire. The patterns of anger, reactivity, and suffering that feel permanent are not. Gradual, consistent practice creates real change. You do not have to stay in the patterns you were given.

Summary Retirement is often framed as a personal milestone—a moment when we step away from work and into freedom. But what if retirement isn't just about leaving a job? What if it's about navigating the deep relationships, identity shifts, and responsibilities we carry with us into what comes next? In this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, Andi speaks with Katherine Crewe, a Tech/Vistage chair in Canada, whose thoughtful approach to retirement reveals a powerful truth: transitions are not events—they are processes. The Myth of the Clean Exit: Leaving Work Isn't Leaving Relationships  Katherine's story challenges the idea that retirement is a simple, clean break. After decades in biomedical engineering and leadership, she moved into a role guiding CEOs and executives. Now, in her late sixties, she is not "done"—she is reflecting, recalibrating, and carefully designing her transition. What makes her journey so compelling is this: she is not just leaving a role—she is stepping away from a community. As a chair, Katherine has built deep, trusted relationships with the leaders she supports. When she began discussing retirement with them, the reactions were emotional and varied. Some encouraged her to stay. Others supported her decision. Many wanted one thing above all—a thoughtful, gradual transition. This wasn't about replacing a position. It was about preserving relationships, continuity, and trust. Retirement Is a Social Transition, Not Just a Personal One One of the most important insights from this conversation is that retirement impacts more than the individual. Katherine realized that stepping away from her role felt less like leaving a job—and more like leaving a network of meaningful human connections. The responsibility she feels is not just to herself, but to those who depend on her leadership. This is a critical lesson for organizations as well. As Andi notes, companies are facing a "senior tsunami"—a wave of experienced employees approaching retirement. Yet many organizations still treat retirement as an administrative process rather than a cultural transition. What Katherine is modeling is something different: Thoughtful succession planning Gradual transitions Honoring relationships and institutional knowledge This is where anthropology becomes powerful. It helps us see what is really happening beneath the surface. The Paradox of Choice in Retirement Unlike traditional roles, Katherine's position has no fixed retirement age. She could continue indefinitely. And that creates a new kind of challenge—the paradox of choice. If you can keep working… should you? Rather than choosing between "all or nothing," Katherine is exploring a more nuanced path: Reducing from three groups to one Staying engaged in meaningful work Creating more space for personal life and exploration This is a powerful reframe. Retirement doesn't have to be binary. It can be designed. Preparing Before You Retire Perhaps the most valuable insight Katherine offers is that she has already been preparing for retirement—without calling it that. She has: Structured her own time for years Built her identity around relationships, not titles Prioritized wellness as a daily practice Maintained independence in how she works and lives As a result, she does not fear the four common retirement pain points: Loss of identity Lack of daily structure Unclear purpose Disconnection from community Why? Because she has already built a life that isn't dependent on a job to provide those things. This is the real lesson: Retirement is not something you enter. It is something you prepare for—while you are still working. Couples, Conversations, and "Confetti Moments" Another powerful theme in this episode is how retirement impacts relationships at home. Katherine and her husband are both still active, both thinking about the future—but not always in structured ways. Instead, they have what she calls "confetti moments"—brief, scattered conversations about what retirement might look like. This is deeply relatable. Many couples don't sit down and design their future together. They talk in fragments. And yet, retirement will require alignment: How will we spend our time? Will we keep working? What does "being together" actually look like? Without intentional conversations, these differences can become points of tension. What This Means for You Katherine's journey reminds us that retirement is not an ending—it is a transition into a new stage of life that deserves as much thought and care as any career move. It is not about stopping. It is about redesigning. Key Takeaways Retirement is not a single event—it is a gradual, human transition. Leaving work often means leaving relationships, not just responsibilities. Organizations must treat retirement as a cultural and strategic issue, not just HR process. The best retirement transitions are designed, not abrupt. Preparing early—by building identity, structure, purpose, and community—makes all the difference. Couples need intentional conversations about what retirement will look like together. You don't have to stop working—you can redefine how you work.

Until 1967, units of time were scientifically measured by astronomical patterns: the spin of the earth and its revolution around the sun. But over the centuries, a problem emerged. The earth is actually slowing down in its orbit. Scientists discovered that the unit of the second is longer than it used to be. Gradual though this is, since the days of Christ, the world has “lost” a full three hours of measured time. Of course, God created the ways we measure time: the astronomy of orbits and revolutions. Scientists’ calculations may be squishier than we’d thought, but we can stand firmly in Peter’s words: “With the Lord a day is like a thousand years” (2 Peter 3:8). He is arguing against doubters who complained that Jesus hadn’t returned yet. “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness.” (v. 9). God works in His own time for His own purposes. There’s more: God’s “timing” is born out of His love: “He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish” (v. 9). Jesus will return, and God wants everyone to have the opportunity to come to Him. This is an expression of His love. Meanwhile, we’re “to make every effort to be found spotless” (v. 14). Time, God, and love are linked together: In these last days God’s love is never squishy. It’s the one sure thing.

Lyn Alden joins us to make sense of the “everything, everywhere, all at once” macro moment. A fourth-turning-style unwind of the long-term debt cycle, rising fiscal dominance, and a rare, headline-level clash over Fed independence—plus what a Kevin Warsh Fed might actually do under real-world constraints.  We dig into the “gradual print” era, why gold is ripping, how a more multipolar monetary order could emerge (gold, bitcoin, and stablecoins in different roles), and what trade war dynamics mean for the dollar's privilege.  Lyn also explains why Bitcoin has lagged gold this cycle, how much the four-year crypto cycle still matters, the risks around treasury companies and quantum narratives, and how she's thinking about portfolio construction in 2026. ------

In this deeply grounded conversation, Rip sits down with Jan Liband — a former college athlete, longtime plant-based advocate, and expert in food and environmental sustainability. What began for Jan as a single pamphlet exposing the environmental toll of animal agriculture became a lifelong commitment to plant-based living nearly 40 years ago.Jan shares his journey from a meat-centered, “healthy by 1980s standards” diet to discovering how plant-based eating dramatically improved his energy, recovery, and athletic performance. Along the way, Rip and Jan tackle some of the biggest barriers to change — especially for men — including cultural conditioning, fear of change, and the never-ending obsession with protein.The conversation goes beyond personal health and zooms out to the bigger picture: how our global food system drives roughly one-third of greenhouse gas emissions, accelerates deforestation, drains freshwater resources, and threatens biodiversity. Jan explains why dietary change is one of the fastest, most impactful climate actions individuals can take — far faster than waiting on energy or infrastructure shifts.From practical food swaps and transition strategies, to a powerful discussion of the Eat-Lancet report and planetary boundaries, this episode is both a reality check and a hopeful roadmap. The message is clear: small, consistent changes on our plates can ripple outward — improving our health, strengthening our communities, and protecting the planet for generations to come.Key TakeawaysOne piece of information — a pamphlet on animal agriculture — can spark lifelong change.Plant-based eating can improve digestion, recovery, energy, and athletic performance within weeks.Men often struggle with plant-based eating due to early-formed habits, social pressure, and protein myths.Americans are not protein-deficient — they are protein-toxic — while severely lacking fiber.Gradual change increases long-term success; the best diet is the one you'll stick with.Animal agriculture drives the majority of food-related greenhouse gas emissions, land use, and water waste.The Eat-Lancet report supports plant-rich diets as essential for both human and planetary health.Food choices are the single most powerful daily action individuals can take to protect the environment.Watch the Episode on YouTubeEpisode Webpage

Strategies for a Democratic Transition in Venezuela and Cuba. Guest: CLIFF MAY, Foundation for Defense of Democracies. Marco Rubio is reportedly developing a plan for a gradual transition in Venezuela by making specific demands on the remaining "gangster regime." By cutting off subsidized oil to Cuba, the U.S. hopes to cause the collapse of the Castroite regime, encouraging people to seek liberation from tyranny.1915 HVANA HARBOR
