Take a look at your speedometer the next time you're driving. Chances are, it's lying to you. The speed you're actually traveling is probably different from what the dashboard says—and that's completely intentional. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedometer?utm From the time we're children, we're constantly reminded to "sit up straight" and "don't slouch." We've been told that good posture prevents pain, improves health, and even makes us more confident. But how much of that is actually supported by science? According to Beth Linker, surprisingly little. In this conversation, she explores where our ideas about posture came from, why so many assumptions have gone unchallenged, and what the evidence really says about the way we sit, stand, and move. Beth is a former physical therapist, medical historian, and author of Slouch: Posture Panic in Modern America (https://amzn.to/4480Hhk).

He has mastered techniques that dramatically improve recall—and they're far simpler than most people imagine.

For decades they were white, just as many people assume they always were. So why did manufacturers change one of the most recognizable pieces of sports equipment in the world?

Today's guest is Jason Pack, Senior Analyst for Emerging Challenges at the NATO Defense College Foundation and Associate Fellow at RUSI. He is the Host of the Disorder Podcast, and author of Libya and the Global Enduring Disorder. In this episode, Alon and Jason discuss the end of the post-WWII global order and the prevailing disorder since 2011, the loss of American leadership, the Memorandum of Understanding between Iran and the United States, particularly in comparison to the 2015 JCPOA, and the broader regional fallout from the war with Iran. Full bio Jason Pack is the Founder of Libya-Analysis LLC, and the host of Disorder, a geopolitics podcast co-produced with Goalhanger Podcasts. He is an Associate Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) and the Senior Analyst for Emerging Challenges at the NATO Defence College Foundation in Rome. His most recent book, Libya and the Global Enduring Disorder (Hurst 2021 / Oxford University Press 2022) is a ‘cross-over' academic book that explores what Libya's dysfunctional economic structures and its ongoing civil war reveal about our era of 21st-century geopolitics. Jason's ‘Enduring Disorder' concept – that we no longer inhabit the post-Cold War World, but have entered a new era – the ‘Enduring Disorder' – was conceived to describe the collective action failures that have come to define international politics. Jason has lived in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt, Israel/Palestine, Oman, Qadhafi-era Libya, and Trump-era Washington, DC. Proficient in Arabic, French, and Hebrew, he has been kidnapped twice, and served as the Executive Director of a K St-based Trade Association. He is open for media appearances about US foreign policy, conspiracy theories, the state of the global system, neopopulism, and especially the Middle East. When not podcasting or consulting on the Middle East, Jason plays backgammon semi-professionally. He was the 2018 World Champion of Doubles Backgammon, came 2nd place in the 2024 World Championship of Speedgammon, and has achieved the rank of Grandmaster – placing him in the top 100 players in the world. He also writes about gambling's connections to geopolitics.

This short overview is reproduced from the Grandmasters of Geopolitics Telegram channel, with thanks. From his student days onwards, Ayatollah Khamenei's life story was interwoven with the history of modern Iran. In the 1960s and 70s, Ali Khamenei was arrested six times by the shah's secret police, Savak, enduring torture and internal exile. These years of underground resistance solidified his revolutionary credentials. Meanwhile, his experience on the frontlines of the US-backed 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war strengthened his antipathy and mistrust towards US imperialism. ------------------------------------------------ Subscribe!

Episode 450 | Interview with Grandmaster Park (GMP) Podcast Description Episode 450 is a sit-down conversation with Grandmaster Park (GMP) — a longtime friend of the show and someone who's helped shape the modern martial arts school industry. We go back to the “old days” when billing companies took a painful cut just to collect tuition, and we talk about how the industry has changed — not just in technology, but in parent expectations, communication, staff culture, and what it takes to build something that lasts. Along the way, GMP shares a few simple (but powerful) mindset shifts: how to stop letting “scorpions” steal your peace, why COVID was a reset button for the industry, how to train staff like you train students, and why school owners have to start thinking about retirement and exit plans like real entrepreneurs. We also dig into AI — not as a gimmick, but as a tool that rewards school owners who learn how to ask better questions, document their story, and build systems faster than ever. Key Takeaways The industry used to pay a “tuition tax” — and most owners don't realize how far we've come.Back in the day, schools were heavily dependent on billing companies to collect tuition, and the fees could be brutal. The bigger point: when you've lived in a new normal long enough, you forget how much friction you used to tolerate. Parents don't automatically trust the instructor the way they used to — so communication has to evolve.What worked 20–30 years ago (“Just do this at home and they'll do better in class”) doesn't always land today. The message still matters, but the delivery has to be clearer, more intentional, and more repeatable. Not everything is controllable — and the scorpion story is a gut-check for school owners.GMP shares the classic “scorpion and the frog” story: some people sting because it's in their nature. The lesson isn't to become cynical — it's to stop being surprised, protect your energy, and choose your circle wisely. COVID was a reset button — and the schools that survived often leveled up.GMP's take is blunt: a shakeout happened. Some schools closed that didn't deserve it, but many that survived did so because they had a real foundation, real systems, and the discipline to prepare for “winter.” If you're living tuition-to-tuition as a business owner, something is off.GMP challenges the idea that entrepreneurship should feel like paycheck-to-paycheck. He points to basic discipline: track spending, cut the leaks, and start investing for the future. Compound interest is the “eighth wonder of the world” — but only if you actually use it.The conversation hits on index funds (like the S&P 500), performance-based investing vs. cash sitting idle, and simple retirement vehicles (like a SIMPLE IRA) that can help owners and staff build long-term stability. Train your staff the same way you train your students: white belt to black belt.One of the biggest paradigm shifts in the episode: school owners already know how to build a curriculum that takes a beginner to black belt — but they don't apply that same thinking to staff. GMP's challenge: build a staff playbook and training path with clear expectations, checkpoints, and “retests.” If a student doesn't know the form, they don't move on. Staff training should work the same way. Some “student problems” are actually teaching mistakes.The left/right example is a perfect reminder: if the student can't process the instruction, the teacher has to change the approach. Color patches. Better cues. Different framing. The responsibility is to keep improving the delivery. Failure isn't the enemy — but you have to teach the culture around it.GMP and Allie talk about how Eastern philosophy treats failure as part of success, while many parents/students hear “failure” as “you are a failure.” Clear guidelines, expectations, and the way you deliver feedback matters. AI rewards the owner who learns how to ask better questions.GMP calls AI a new gold rush. The shift is from hunting for answers to learning how to prompt well. Start simple. Talk to it. Use voice mode. Feed it your story and your values — then let it help you build systems, onboarding, curriculum, and communication faster. Exit planning is coming to martial arts — whether owners are ready or not.GMP points out that private equity is paying attention to children's activity businesses (including martial arts). That makes “exit” a real conversation — but it starts with getting your house in order. Action Steps for School Owners Do a quick “leak audit” this week.Pick one recurring expense you've normalized (subscriptions, food runs, convenience spending) and calculate what it costs per month. Decide what you're keeping, what you're cutting, and what you're redirecting into savings/investing. Create a “Close the Dojo” shutdown routine — but for your finances.Set a weekly 15-minute money check-in: revenue, expenses, cash on hand, and one action to improve next week.

Ben and Tumaini get back together at their kitchen table in Paris, discussing events of Rome, where the biggest story was Jannik Sinner making ATP history. We discuss the enormity of Jannik Sinner having won all nine Masters 1000 events, and how the ATP's term for it is deeply suboptimal. It's not the most suspenseful tour right now, but it's impressive. We also discuss the far more unpredictable women's field, including champion Elina Svitolina as well as Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek, Sorana Cirstea, and more. We also discuss boycott talk (we don't think it's plausible but it's still notable), and the Italian Federation's stated goal of making Rome into the official "Fifth Slam." Thank you for listening! Our Patreon is back up and running to ensure NCR keeps going and stays ad-free, and we hope you can join in supporting NCR! And we especially thank our GOAT backers: Pam Shriver and J. O'D.

It's Marvel Monday and Thor gets a colorful cosmic makeover! ABOUT THOR: RAGNAROK Imprisoned on the planet Sakaar, Thor must race against time to return to Asgard and stop Ragnarök, the destruction of his world, at the hands of the powerful and ruthless villain Hela. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR THOR: RAGNAROK 2017 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF THOR: RAGNAROK Director: Taika Waititi Writers: Eric Pearson, Craig Kyle, Christopher Yost Cast: Chris Hemsworth as Thor Tom Hiddleston as Loki Cate Blanchett as Hela Jeff Goldblum as Grandmaster Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/The Hulk Anthony Hopkins as Odin Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS Two years after the Sokovia situation, Thor finds himself captured by a fire demon, who ominously reveals that Odin is no longer in Asgard—and that the realm's destruction, which he calls Ragnarök, is inevitable. The demon claims it will only occur when his crown is reunited with the Eternal Flame. Thor is like ok cool, then he breaks free, defeats the demon, and takes the crown, convinced he's just saved Asgard from its fate. Back home, things are… off. Idris Elba is missing, and “Odin” is acting suspiciously theatrical, literally have plays put on about the story of Thor and Loki and Asgard. Shocker, it's actually Loki in disguise. Thor forces Loki to come clean, and with help from Doctor Strange, they track down the real Odin in Norway. There, Odin reveals the truth: he's dying, and his passing will unleash Hela, his long-hidden firstborn daughter. Once the ruthless leader of Asgard's armies, Hela was erased from history when her hunger for power became too much—even for Odin. Odin dies. Hela arrives. And within minutes, she destorys thor's hammer like it's nothing. Loki is like UH OH BRING US BACK which opens the portal to get them home. But Hela hops in and knocks them out of the portal into space. She returns to Asgard, quickly conquers it, kills people, and does alot of bad stuff. Meanwhile, Thor crash-lands on Sakaar—a chaotic junk planet ruled by the eccentric Grandmaster. Captured and enslaved by a scrapper known as 142 (who actually used to be Valkyrie), Thor is forced into gladiator combat… where he comes face-to-face with none other than Hulk. Thor nearly wins using newfound lightning powers, but the Grandmaster rigs the fight, keeping Hulk his champion. Still in jail, Thor tries to rally Hulk and Valkyrie to help save Asgard, but neither is interested—until a series of events, including a recording from Natasha Romanoff, brings Bruce Banner back. Valkyrie finally agrees to help, and with Loki involved, they steal a ship, spark a gladiator uprising and make their escape. Back on Asgard, Hela's forces are closing in on the remaining citizens. It's not looking good.. Thor shows up to confronts Hela but realizes the truth: she's too powerful to defeat. After losing his eye in battle, Thor has a vision of Odin that changes everything—Ragnarök isn't something to prevent… it's the only way to stop Hela. Thor makes sure to fulfill the prophecy—destroying Asgard and killing Hela in the process. With their home gone but their people alive, Thor—now king—leads the Asgardians aboard a stolen ship, finally reconciling with Loki and setting a course for Earth… only to be interrupted by a massive, looming spacecraft waiting in their path.

It took 20 adventures and just as many dead Darklords to finally make Naar curse. August and Jonathan do not deliberate on what the swear word was, instead choosing to use this episode to delve into greater mysteries of the universe. For the first time, we go into details about the Planes of Light, unveil how Naar got a hold of the Moonstone, and reveal what Naar's equivalent to the Sommerswerd is. This episode is a straight hour of lore, a start-to-finish gauntlet of answers to some of Magnamund's best kept secrets.
Declarative memory is used when consciously recalling information, big or small, usually in a sustained way. It’s also the type of memory you use every time you use memory techniques like the Memory Palace or basic mnemonics. That’s why these mental learning tools can sometimes feel effortful, especially when you’re new to using them. But that’s also why the effort fades with practice. So to give you a small sense of what declarative memory feels like, give this exercise a try: What’s the name of your first friend in school? Can you think about a specific event from the time you spent together? When I do this, my friend Ryan comes to mind. He was the first person to show me an American dollar, something that was unusual to see way up north where we lived in Canada. These facts about what took place, where we were and my personal familiarity with the memory: It all belongs to declarative memory. This is quite different from nondeclarative memory for reasons we’ll discuss on this page, updated for you on May 4, 2026 with more information and an audio podcast. So if you’re ready to take a deep dive into the nature of declarative memory, the role it plays in human experience and how you can enjoy greater success when using memory techniques, I consider knowing terms like this part of the “owner’s manual of the mind and memory.” Let’s get started! What Is Declarative Memory? Declarative memory is another term for explicit memory. It’s also sometimes called conscious memory. Knowing this definition matters a great deal for your memory training because this kind of memory is responsible for every act of encoding, from assigning Memory Palaces to placing vivid associations that make reviewing what you’ve studied using a Memory Palace much easier. William James first defined this type of memory back in 1890 when he wrote: The knowledge of a former state of mind after it has already once dropped from consciousness; or rather it is the knowledge of an event, or fact, of which we have not been thinking, with the additional consciousness that we have thought or experienced it before. Note the nuance here: Declarative memory isn’t necessarily true. Sometimes we confabulate certain facts, which means that memories can get distorted. Dr. Gary Small has discussed our memory as a kind of neighborhood in which parts of our memories travel from house to house, getting changed each and every time they travel. Nonetheless, declarative memory is the conscious awareness of knowledge that something in the past happened to you. And more often than not, our declarative memories are accurate enough. The Science of Declarative Memory Scientists use the term encoding to describe how memories form in the first place. A declarative memory is better when the encoding is elaborate and deep. But all too often, our encoding is limited and superficial, which is why I have shared these elaborative encoding exercises with you. In the absence of such exercises, a lot of the depth of encoding comes down to focused attention. If you’re not interested in something, you’re more likely to encode in a shallow way. But when we’re interested in topics and having fun, encoding at a deep level tends to happen very quickly. The Role of Declarative Memory Over Time Once encoding has been accomplished, declarative memories must be stored for future access in long-term memory. Once the encoding and storage stages are complete, scientists call the result an engram. This term literally refers to the sum total of all the changes in the brain from the moment of perception to the ushering of the information into storage. Engrams are distributed across the brain. Different brain regions seem to be specialized for particular kinds of storage to help with particular kinds of information retrieval. Take chess openings, for example. William Chase and Herbert Simon asked chess players of varying levels of skill to analyze a chessboard featuring between 26-32 chess pieces arranged in actual configurations you might see in a game. They found that Grandmasters vastly outperformed the analytical tasks they were given when looking at actual games. However, when the scientists repeated the experiment with the pieces distributed randomly on the board, Grandmasters did no better than anyone else at recalling details of the chessboard. This is because the trained regions of their brains could not help them in this new context. For this reason, when you wish to improve your working memory, it’s important to note that playing games might build you skills within the game environments. But those skills might not transfer much, and possibly not at all. Declarative Memory Examples Remember how I gave a declarative memory definition above by saying that it’s the conscious recall of memories in a sustained way? This means that accessing the memory takes place over time, often substantial amounts of time. Here are some examples: One: Where You Were When Something Happened I was in a cafeteria at York University when a friend called. He said, “Find a TV!” “What’s going on?” I asked, but all he could do was repeat himself. That was the morning of September 11, 2001. And when I finally found a television, I was just in time to see the second tower struck during the September 11 attacks. In this sustained example of flashbulb memory, I’m drawing upon semantic facts and episodic memory. It’s an autobiographical memory too, and the common denominator amongst all of them is that I am consciously aware that all of the material is memory. This way of looking at declarative memory matters for your memory training because flashbulb memories show you what deep encoding looks like when you experience it naturally. That’s why mnemonist David Berglas refers to it in his excellent book, A Question of Memory, when he discusses “the Kennedy Effect.” His suggestion is that whenever you memorize something, you try to make the associations you use as striking as what happened to JFK. But you’re generating this kind of association between what you want to memorize and episodes of such historical impact not for entertainment. You’re doing it with a depth of purpose tailored towards creating recall. Using that level of emotional intensity is tremendously helpful for ensuring the precious information you want to remember sticks. Two: Trivia Who doesn’t love to play from home during an episode of Jeopardy? As the answers appear on the screen, you get a great brain workout trying to arrive at the answer in the form of question. This is all declarative memory due to your conscious engagement in the process. You’re not just passively trying to arrive at the answer. You’re actively searching your memory and trying to do so fast enough to beat the clock. Now, this is not necessarily the same thing as sharing details about your favorite author, composer or artist during a conversation. Usually, there’s no pressure in such contexts. How they do relate is that we usually don’t memorize such facts deliberately. Such facts enter your memory implicitly, a kind of memory we’ll talk about a little bit further on. If you do want to deliberately memorize information for trivia night at the pub, however, here’s a tutorial on how to do it. Three: Locations And Directions Locations are related to trivia in some contexts. But more broadly, if someone asks you for directions, you’ll be drawing on your declarative memory to explain how a person can find the desire target. This process will take place even if you have aphantasia, which is the lack of a mind’s eye. People with this condition can both give and follow directions. That said, as science journalist Christopher Kemp has shown in Dark & Magical Places, not everyone has the same navigation abilities. It’s not entirely clear if the issues he outlines come down to declarative memory, but something called place cells are involved in navigational accuracy. Assuming you don’t have navigation issues like Kemp has reported, locations you know give your declarative memory rich and reliable options to work with for memorizing information. Four: Critical Thinking Anytime you turn on your thinking engines, you’ll be drawing upon declarative memory. General reasoning draws upon facts, as does specific, objective reasoning. And whenever you’ve got your inner Sherlock running to deduce or induce conclusions, you’ll probably also be drawing upon facts you already know. This is why memory training does far more than help you pass exams or recall names. The quality of your thinking depends on the quality of what you can retrieve, how accurately and how quickly. In other words, you can only reason using accessible facts. If your encoding is shallow when trying to memorize information, those facts won’t be there when you need them. To help you better understand this, think about the last time you tried to form an opinion during a discussion about something complicated. Your brain needed to pull together things you’d read, heard and experienced, all while weighing one piece of evidence against the other. All of this activity drew upon your declarative memory and the quality of how it fed your reasoning was based on how much material your brain could access. This is why I often say, “the more you learn the more you can learn.” You’re able to use the element of thinking and reasoning while using memory techniques, as described by the great memory teachers Peter of Ravenna, Jacobus Publicius and Giordano Bruno. What's the Difference Between Declarative and Nondeclarative Memory? In brief, it comes down to your conscious intention to recall information. Whereas with implicit memory (also known as nondeclarative memory you’re not conscious of either learning or recalling, declarative memory involves awareness. Larry R. Squire highlights another key difference in the Journal of Neuroscience. Your declarative memory can dictate how you describe your behavior in response to stimuli. As he explains it: An aversive childhood event such as being knocked down by a large dog might lead to a stable declarative memory for the event itself as well as a long-lasting fear of dogs (a nondeclarative memory) that is experienced as a personality trait rather than as a memory. In other words, our self-perception of early experiences guides how we describe their influence on their lives. But the influence itself comes from an early, nondeclarative memory experience. Procedural memory can also play a role, such as constantly acting out a learned helplessness around dogs. Why This Distinction Matters for Your Memory Training Since most people read the Magnetic Memory Method blog or listen to my podcast to improve their memory, it will be helpful for you to understand how declarative memory is involved in using most of the techniques I share in my mnemonics dictionary and Magnetic Memory Method Masterclass. Think about the last time you used a Memory Palace. (Or if the technique is new to you, check out my complete guide to using the Memory Palace technique). When you select a station in a Memory Palace, you consciously choose it. Then, when placing a mnemonic association, you use mnemonic techniques to generate and elaborate it. Every step requires your complete attention. And that’s an example of declarative memory doing the heavy lifting. If it feels slow or awkward, that’s not because memory techniques don’t work. It’s just a lack of training and practice in using them. Why Practice Will Always Remain Essential When you use memory techniques frequently enough, you will eventually need to spend less conscious effort bringing Memory Palace stations to mind. And the more familiarity you have with mnemonic tools like Memory Wheels, the Major System and a PAO System, your use of the techniques will happen faster. Later, when you practice retrieval through spaced repetition, your memory will serve you the target information at a faster rate. It might never feel completely effortless. But as procedural memory grows, using memory techniques will feel like riding a bike. You do have to rotate the pedals, but you don’t have to think about all the various operations that go into operating the bike and navigating it to reach a destination. The more you use Memory Palaces while generating and placing associations, the more it will be just like riding a bike with a feeling of automaticity. Mnemonic Encoding is Always Declarative Every time I create a new association, whether for memorizing something in Latin, my new law school project, Sanskrit, Chinese or the poetry I memorize, I have to consciously draw upon parts of the mind that involve declarative memory. And if you’re a medical student memorizing the cranial nerves, you can certainly use rote repetition. But that requires a lot of effort compared to using a Memory Palace paired with vivid associations. That’s because when you revise the information you’ve placed, you’ll be drawing upon those associations, many of which will involve episodic and autobiographical memories. You’re exercising multiple levels, strengthening the memory from a number of angles. Then, when you sit for an exam and face a question about the facial nerve, retrieval will have become procedural. And that will free up your mind to think about clinical applications rather than burning up cognitive resources just trying to remember basic anatomical names and facts. So the next time your encoding feels clunky and taking too much deliberate effort, don’t worry. Part of what’s happening is just an effect of how memory works. You’re actually drawing upon your declarative memory and it is doing its job relative to your study and practice of memory techniques. Chances are, you’ve just come across information that you’ve never tried to encode before and need a bit more time to think it through. Keep studying memory techniques and you’ll get better and faster overall. And when the gears grind to a halt, you’ll know that you just have to keep moving. That’s what I’ve always done and it has helped me memorize far more than I ever thought possible. How To Avoid The Corruption Of Your Declarative Memory As you’ve discovered, this aspect of your memory is not bullet proof. You can consciously feel that a memory is 100% accurate, but wind up recalling things that are either exaggerated or simply not true. Fortunately, there are ways to fend this off from happening. For one thing, you can see a lot of improvement simply by focusing on improving your sleep. You can also use memory techniques. There are countless studies showing just how strong these methods are for improving your ability to recall information accurately. Mnemonology is one particularly good and scholarly book that makes these studies accessible to anyone. Other options involve studying music, learning languages or learning to give speeches. You can also focus on preserving your non-declarative memory as an indirect approach. If you’d like help in any of these areas, I suggest you start with my FREE Memory Improvement Kit: It will help you commit anything you wish to memory. And give your declarative memory a great workout too. So what do you say? Do you now understand this critical aspect of your memory? Get out there and “declare” that you are a master of memory and put it to good use. It’s a powerful asset!

Andre Norton is one of the pivotal figures in the history of science fiction and fantasy and remains eminently relevant for modern readers. She was a prolific writer, authoring more than 300 titles spanning a career from the 1930s to the 2000s. She was one of the earliest writers to create stories of a post-nuclear apocalyptic dystopia and works of post-humanism yet kept a thread of hope and optimism. In her lifetime, Andre Norton was recognized by her readers and her peers as a towering figure, receiving a World Fantasy Award for Lifetime Achievement and being named a Grandmaster by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association among other accolades. She was also the first writer to be invited to contribute to the Dungeons & Dragons universe. Sales of Norton's work in her lifetime rivalled George R. R. Martin, Arthur C. Clarke, and Edgar Rice Burroughs. And yet, Andre Norton has become somewhat obscure, an unsung Ohio writer who flourished during her lifetime and deserves renewed attention. Today's podcast episode will hopefully entice you to delve into her work and to help fulfill her final words: “I just don't want to be forgotten.” Don Boozer, Coordinator of the Ohio Center for the Book and Manager of the Literature Department at Cleveland Public Library, hosts this episode. He's joined by Dr. Jeff Karem, a Professor of English at Cleveland State University, to illuminate the life and work and Andre Norton. Dr. Karem received his Ph.D. from Yale University, and his research and teaching focus on exploring the contributions of diverse regional and ethnic writers and works on 20th century American Literature. To view photographs and documents relating to Norton, see this episode's accompanying blog post, “The Imaginative History of Andre Norton.” Page Count is produced by Ohio Center for the Book at Cleveland Public Library.

SUMMARY In this conversation, Brittany Searles shares her unique upbringing in the martial arts world, influenced by her parents, both Grandmasters. She discusses the responsibility of martial arts instructors, the environment of training, and how her childhood experiences shaped her resilience and mindset. Brittany reflects on the balance between martial arts and other life experiences, including her teenage years and the impact of family dynamics on her journey. The conversation highlights the importance of confidence, support, and the warrior spirit in both martial arts and life. She delves into the themes of independent thinking, the concept of martial science, and the responsibilities of martial arts instructors. She also explores how personal experiences shape one's approach to martial arts and the importance of teaching with intention and clarity. The discussion also touches on the significance of personal growth and the impact of martial arts on life beyond the dojo, including the launch of new projects and ventures. TAKEAWAYS Instructors have a responsibility to ensure students are mentally stable. Growing up in a dojo creates a unique environment for resilience. The influence of family is crucial in martial arts training. Balance in life is essential for martial artists. Teenage years can challenge commitment to martial arts. Experiences outside of martial arts enrich personal growth. Confidence is built through supportive parenting. Martial arts training can shape one's mindset and character. Life experiences can lead to a return to martial arts. The science of motion is translatable across all movement. You can't know how to go until you know where you're going. It's our responsibility as instructors to guide our students. Martial arts gives you the opportunity to grow and become a better human being. Teaching should focus on the outcome for the student.

Chris opens up about his 40-year journey in Taekwondo, revealing how a volatile and traumatic childhood led him to seek protection, discipline, and ultimately, a lifelong identity. From overcoming devastating injuries to evolving his philosophy on leadership, Chris shares how the "slight shifts" in his mindset helped him transition from a young student to a Grandmaster in Taekwondo and a serial entrepreneur. Key Advice & Takeaways Seek Knowledge, Not Status: True mastery isn't about the title or rank. It's about the depth of your understanding. Shift your focus from gaining power to increasing your expertise. Earn the Right to Lead: Avoid "imposter syndrome" by outworking your own expectations. Leadership is earned by being an example and practicing what you preach every day. Humility Increases with Rank: The higher you go in any field, the more humble you should become. A great leader is never "above" any task, including the smallest chores. Train for Longevity: Respect your body's limits. Shift from training for the "moment" to training for lifelong health and mobility. Prepare Your Mind: Opportunities often fall into your lap when you are mentally prepared to receive them.

They kick things off with a life update, discussing Dara's move from NYC to Australia and now Thailand, living the $3 Bolt ride life while navigating a 12-hour time difference.They dive straight into the Star-Lord Season Pass review. While Alex thinks it's a solid 4-Star card, Dara drops a massive hot take: Star-Lord might be better than Shou-Lao due to his insane synergy with Fin Fang Foom and Grandmaster.Then, they roast the Super Premium card, Magus, agreeing it is "Toxic Doxy" levels of bad and a hard skip (1 Star). They also review Moon Dragon, deciding it's a "Doom 2099" dependent card that falls flat if not played on Turn 2. On the flip side, Dara claims Drax (Avatar of Life) is the best non-Season Pass card of the month, praising its ability to counter Ramp decks.Finally, they open the Mailbag to discuss a wholesome community letter and debate a spicy game design question: Should Marvel Snap introduce a 5-Turn Game Mode to create a true Aggro meta? Plus, a heavy dose of nostalgia as they reminisce about Warcraft III tower rushes and the "Golden Era" of Blizzard.Join Alex Coccia and special guest Dara as they chat about this and more on this episode of The Snap Chat—and catch Cozy and Alex every week as they discuss all things Marvel Snap.Have a question or comment for Cozy and Alex?

Twelve years ago, the Hammersmith Chess Club in London was down to fewer than 20 members and facing an uncertain future. Today, thanks to committed volunteers, a welcoming culture, and the broader boom in chess, it's the largest chess club in London, and was recently named ECF Chess Club of the Year. I'm joined by Hammersmith Club Captain Gaston Franco to discuss the club's remarkable turnaround and what other communities can learn from it. We cover topics like financial sustainability, league play, and gender dynamics, as well as the importance of creating an inclusive, welcoming environment. We also explore Gaston's own chess journey, which highlights one of the game's great strengths: its ability to provide instant community, especially when moving alone to a new country.

Are you playing a short-term tactic or a long-term strategy? Life, like a complex game of chess, is defined by the moves we make. But unlike a solitary game, our board is shared. In this episode, we explore the powerful metaphor of Life as a Chess Game, where every decision—big or small—sends a ripple effect across the board, impacting not just our position, but the lives of everyone around us. We discuss the lag time of karma (why results often take time to manifest), the importance of foresight, and the ultimate question: Are your moves setting up a game of connection and victory for all, or are you unwittingly sacrificing the pieces that matter most? Join us to learn how to become a Grandmaster of kindness and intent. New Episode of the Happiness Podcast with Dr. Robert Puff, Ph.D.
