It requires consistent action, stronger standards, and the willingness to do difficult things long enough for them to reshape your identity.They break down how small daily habits build momentum, why most people quit in the middle, and how responsibility creates the structure needed for real growth. This conversation is a practical reminder that meaningful progress is built over time. Your future is not changed by one great day. It is changed by the standards you keep when the excitement wears off.Visual Assets:Alan Mile Times - https://drive.google.com/file/d/15liazjUFBbScJuY9v6FjRd-v1CIYW3DZ/view?usp=drive_linkThe Power of Tiny Gains - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LCpd5qQvCFrQ3UD0unje2djqAF0644ig/view?usp=drive_link_______________________NLU is more than a podcast.

Rachel also guides me through a powerful live somatic exercise that completely shifted my perspective. What we cover:Why your nervous system determines what you can hold in lifeHow trauma and childhood experiences shape ambition and stressWhy many high performers tie their identity to achievementPractical tools to regulate your nervous system and perform sustainablyIf you've ever felt driven but exhausted, this conversation will give you a completely new way of understanding yourself. Learn more about Rachel here - https://www.theembodiedmind.com.au/about-rachelFollow Rachel on IG here - https://www.instagram.com/rachelpfeiffer/?hl=enIf you're interested in having me deliver a keynote or workshop for your team contact Caroline at caroline@jjlaughlin.comWebsite: https://www.jjlaughlin.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6GETJbxpgulYcYc6QAKLHA Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JamesLaughlinOfficial Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jameslaughlinofficial/ Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/life-on-purpose-with-james-laughlin/id1547874035 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3WBElxcvhCHtJWBac3nOlF?si=hotcGzHVRACeAx4GvybVOQ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jameslaughlincoaching/James Laughlin is a High Performance Leadership Coach, Former 7-Time World Champion, Host of the Habits of High Performers Podcast and an Executive Coach to high performers and leaders.

What if manifestation is keeping you focused on the life you want while distracting you from the work required to build it? Manifestation has become one of the biggest trends in personal development. Visualize the outcome, believe it is coming, raise your vibration, and trust the universe to deliver. There can be value in believing in yourself and getting clear on what you want, but belief without action quickly becomes wishful thinking. Your thoughts can influence your focus, confidence, and behavior, but they cannot control every external outcome. Health challenges, financial circumstances, psychological struggles, timing, and access all play a role. When manifestation culture ignores those realities, people can end up blaming themselves for circumstances they were never fully able to control. It also creates an opportunity for self-help coaches to sell false hope, expensive programs, and promises they cannot realistically guarantee. In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I break down what manifestation gets right, where it becomes harmful, why mindset must be paired with a real plan, and the warning signs to look for when someone is selling you a fantasy instead of practical guidance. Because believing in yourself matters, but nothing replaces action, effort, and good old-fashioned hard work. What's Discussed: (00:39) Why manifestation has become one of the biggest and most controversial trends in self-help. (01:19) How belief, confidence, and positive self-talk can support the pursuit of a goal. (02:25) Why visualizing an outcome means very little without effort, action, and struggle. (03:50) How manifestation can make people overestimate their ability to control external circumstances. (05:18) Why the useful ideas behind manifestation cannot stand on their own without real work. (07:32) How social media and online coaches have distorted manifestation into a larger self-help subculture. (08:36) Why parts of the coaching industry prey on people's insecurities and vulnerable moments. (09:24) How misguided hope can become dangerous when it replaces practical tools and realistic guidance. (09:54) Why manifestation needs a clear plan and how it can lead to self-blame when outcomes do not go as expected. (11:23) How to identify coaching red flags, including constant upselling, expensive retreats, flashy lifestyles, and promises of material success. Thank You to Our Sponsors!

Stop Doom-Scrolling! In 2026, the global average screen time has climbed to a staggering 6 hours and 38 minutes a day. We are constantly plugged in, but is it a lack of willpower, or are we just losing a rigged game? Today on the podcast, we sit down with Aditi Mandal to find out. Aditi spent a time working as a UX researcher, designing and making highly engaging digital products.  But in 2017, she realized she was falling victim to the very systems she helped build. After embarking on a digital fitness journey, Aditi successfully beat the algorithms, engineering her own screen time down from 6 hours to just 1 intentional hour a day., Now, through her company Take Back Your Time, she coaches adults on how to build sustainable digital habits.  We break down the exact mechanics of why we are addicted to our phones, the specific design tricks apps use to keep you scrolling, and the step-by-step toolkit you need to reclaim your attention without deleting the apps you need for work. Whether you're an entrepreneur struggling to focus or just someone looking to reclaim your attention span, Aditi breaks down actionable strategies—from introducing "positive friction" to buying an old-school alarm clock—that actually work in the real world. Key Takeaways from this Episode The UX of Addiction: Why screen addiction isn't your fault—it's the consequence of thousands of engineers designing platforms to capture your attention. How Aditi: operates as a solopreneur and runs her 5-week cohort programs. Navigating the social perception of screen addiction and convincing people to invest in digital fitness. Real client stories: Better sleep, increased energy, and a touching story of a father bonding with his son. Beating the Algorithm: We break down the specific mechanical tricks apps use to keep you hooked, and the exact counter-strategies you need to fight back. The 4 Foundational Digital Habits: The exact, step-by-step mechanisms Aditi uses to help her clients break free from endless scrolling. The "Necessary App" Dilemma: How to set boundaries with mandatory apps like WhatsApp and LinkedIn that you simply cannot delete. Building a Wellness Business: Aditi's journey of bootstrapping Take Back Your Time, finding her first paying clients, and growing her WhatsApp community. The Myth of Device Addiction: The core issue isn't an addiction to the physical device, but a compulsion to consume content every 10 to 15 minutes. Engineering "Positive Friction": How to make content consumption inconvenient by changing settings like YouTube autoplay, pausing your watch history, and keeping devices in another room. The "Long-Distance" Phone Relationship: Why keeping your phone physically away from you in a backpack or another room creates the necessary pause between a thought and a distraction. Why Digital Detoxes Fail: Retreats offer temporary peace, but they remove you from your real-life context. Sustainable change requires doing the habit work in your actual environment. and much more!

#993: Join us as we sit down with Clara Sieg – co-founder and CEO of Loonen, a company rethinking the most foundational thing we consume: water. The idea for Loonen took shape during her IVF journey and pregnancy, when she started paying closer attention to what was actually in her water and realized how hard it was to find water she truly trusted for her family. That personal search became a mission: to make clean, trustworthy water the most dependable thing we drink. In this episode, Clara exposes the biggest misconceptions surrounding bottled water, breaks down what's really happening behind water supply chains, reveals the hidden health risks of plastic bottles and endocrine disruptors, and shares practical advice on water filtration and healthier alternatives for daily consumption.   For Detailed Show Notes visit TheBossticks.com   To connect with Clara Sieg click HERE   To connect with Loonen click HERE   To connect with Lauryn Bosstick click HERE   To connect with Michael Bosstick click HERE   Read More on The Skinny Confidential HERE   Head to our ShopMy page HERE and LTK page HERE to find all of the products mentioned in each episode.   To learn more about Loonen visit https://loonen.com.    This episode is sponsored by The90 Head to http://The90.com and use code BOSSTICKS for $50 off.   This episode is sponsored by Just Thrive Go to https://get.justthrivehealth.com/pages/skinny and start your gut health journey today.   This episode is sponsored by Paleovalley Head to http://paleovalley.com/skinny, or use code skinny at checkout for 20% off your first purchase.   This episode is sponsored by Caldera + Lab Go to http://calderalab.com/SKINNY and use code SKINNY for 20% off your first order.   This episode is sponsored by Wayfair Ready to upgrade your home for way less?

Porn is everywhere but how much is too much? What are people actually searching for? And should we be worried about our viewing habits? This week we're diving headfirst into the world of pornography. As former porn creators ourselves, we're unpacking how our relationship with porn has changed over the years, what healthy consumption looks like, and why the conversation around "porn addiction" might be more complicated than people think. We explore: Is porn addiction real or is it better understood as a compulsion? When does watching porn become unhealthy? The world's most searched porn categories (including why hentai has dominated global searches) Why Gen Z's porn habits are changing The fastest-growing sexually active age group How porn can affect relationships, intimacy and desire Our own experiences working in the adult industry Wild, weird and wonderful listener-submitted porn searches From anime to MILFs, roleplay to relationship dynamics, this episode explores what our fantasies can tell us, without judgement. Whether you watch porn regularly, occasionally or not at all, this is an honest conversation about fantasy, shame, curiosity and sexual wellbeing.

REPLAY! This is a favorite episode from the archive, back by popular demand.Most of what slows aging happens years before anyone considers surgery. That's the case Dr. Ruslan Zhuravsky makes in this episode of Wellness Junkies, and it starts with skincare tips most women skip entirely.Dr. Zhuravsky is a board-certified facial plastic surgeon and founder of Z Face Plastic Surgery in South Florida. He's known for pushing back on the trend of copying celebrity faces instead of building beauty routines around your own anatomy. He joins host Amy Sherman for a warm, honest conversation about what works.He shares the exact wellness and beauty hacks he uses himself, including what sits next to his toothbrush every morning. He explains why microneedling only works if you layer the right ingredients underneath it, what exosomes do, and why some popular under-eye treatments deliver far less than the marketing suggests.For anyone curious about surgery down the line, he explains the real difference between a mini facelift and a true deep plane facelift, why some surgeons perform the procedure on patients in their thirties, and why chasing natural facelift results too early may not deliver the outcome you expect. Press play for the skincare tips worth stealing long before you consider anything more invasive.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Meet Dr. Ruslan Zhuravsky and His Natural Approach02:12 Defining Aging Well Beyond Quick Fixes and Trends03:34 The Three Pillars of Skin Laxity and Volume07:05 Microneedling, PRP, and Exosomes Explained14:12 A Crash Course in Lasers and Their Targets19:47 Why Energy Devices Can't Fix Sagging Skin23:33 The Deep Plane Facelift Explained and Who Qualifies29:50 Mini Facelifts, Fillers, Sculptra, and Fat Transfer Compared39:49 Liquid Rhinoplasty, Tip Lifts, and Nose Filler Risks51:23 Skincare Brands He Trusts and His Wellness HacksConnect with Dr. Ruslan Zhuravsky:Follow Dr. Ruslan on InstagramVisit the Z Face Plastic Surgery website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For More on this Episode: Read the full show notes ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Hey friends, Chase here. Every summer, I revisit conversations from the archive that have stood the test of time. Not because I'm nostalgic, but because the best ideas don't expire. They deepen. This is another installment of Summer School—the set of episodes I personally return to the most when I'm stuck and need something true to lean on. This one with Ryan Holiday is high on that list. I've gone back to it multiple times this year alone. Ryan is a legend—author, media strategist, New York Times bestselling writer, and the person who brought Stoic philosophy into popular culture for a generation of creatives and entrepreneurs. This conversation is from 2017, before he'd fully hit the stride we know him for now. He'd already published something like six books in five years. He was already a force. And yet you can hear, in this episode, exactly where his work was headed. What stands out isn't just marketing tactics. It's framing. Good marketing isn't only writing good copy or taking a nice product photo. It's making work that starts a discussion. It's asking better questions before you begin. And it's using your own mindset—perception, action, will—to keep going when the creative path gets hard. Those tools were spot on then. They're truer now. Nobody cares what you're thinking about doing. Talk about your ideas after you've started them and then show people what you've done. Summer School: Ryan Holiday on Stoicism, Marketing, and Creating Work That Lasts Ryan dropped out of college at 19 to work with Robert Greene, became director of marketing at American Apparel, and later built Brass Check, advising clients like Google, Tim Ferriss, and Tony Robbins. Then he did something that looked, on paper, like career suicide: he wrote Trust Me, I'm Lying—a book about how marketers, companies, and politicians manufacture and manipulate attention online. Instead of burning his marketing career down, it opened writing as a profession. He began identifying as a writer first—keeping a hand in marketing so he wouldn't only comment from the sidelines. That tension runs through the whole episode: how information spreads, what it means to compete for attention, and how to build work that doesn't disappear after the launch week. At the center is Perennial Seller—the art of making and marketing work that lasts. Not the fidget-spinner hit. Not the trend piece. The Original Pantry Cafe that never closes. The book that sells more copies year after year because it solves a real problem. The boot that gets better the longer you wear it. If you're a creator, entrepreneur, or leader trying to make something that matters—and survive the noise long enough for it to land—this episode is still one of the sharpest in the archive. What You'll Hear in This Episode Why Ryan left New York for a cattle ranch outside Austin—and how distance, physical work, and humility made him better at the cerebral work How Trust Me, I'm Lying mapped the attention economy years before "fake news" became a daily phrase Why modern marketing is less about perfect product shots and more about starting conversations A practical crash course in Stoicism: perception, action, and will Ego vs. confidence—and how to market without marketing to yourself Austin Kleon's line: you can't be the noun without doing the verb What makes a perennial seller—and why industries obsess over "new" while most of their money comes from what lasts The "other 50%": craft gets you in the door; packaging, positioning, relationships, and community finish the race Two questions before every project: Who is this for? What does this do for them? Three Stoic Disciplines for Creatives Ryan's version of Stoicism is deliberately practical. Not academic debate—the art of living. Philosophy for the role you're already in: photographer, founder, writer, leader. He walks through three disciplines: 1. Perception How do you look at the situation? Someone is rude. Your company is in trouble. Your work isn't getting seen. Do you decide it's unfair, impossible, purely negative—or do you look for what you can actually use? The Stoics' move: there's no inherent good or bad—there's how we look at things. We don't control most of what happens to us. We do control the last crucial part: what we tell ourselves it means. Marcus Aurelius did that work through writing—Meditations as a private practice of catching your own mind in the act. 2. Action Seeing differently isn't enough. What do you do with the information? Ryan's favorite cut: Casey Neistat telling someone pitching a business idea, essentially—don't tell me the idea. Tell me when you've started it, then show me what you've made. Thinking about running a marathon doesn't count. Starting does. This is the discipline that kills the fantasy. Ideas are cheap. Execution is the only proof. 3. Will How do you handle the moments when life kicks your ass and you can't reverse them? Ryan tells the Edison story: factory on fire, son shell-shocked, Edison telling him to get his mother—she'll never see a fire like this again. Even what you can't control can still transform you. Hardship is often the filter that keeps everyone who doesn't want it as badly as you do from finishing. If it were easy, there'd be more amateurs—and less value. Perennial Seller (and the Other 50%) The face-palm insight behind Perennial Seller: the New York Times bestseller list doesn't track perennial sellers—yet a huge share of publishing income comes from books that came out years or decades ago. Industry attention chases "new." Durable value often lives elsewhere. Ryan's frame for durable work is almost annoyingly clear: This is a blank that does blank for blank. Who is it for—really? Not "everyone" or "smart people." Actual humans. Where they live. What they do. What does it do for them? His editor's line: it's not what a book is—it's what a book does. Then comes Chase's "other 50%," which Ryan amplifies: making the thing is a marathon. Finishing it doesn't mean you've won. There's a second marathon waiting—marketing, packaging, relationships, platform, the bridge from your desk into someone else's life. "If you build it, they will come" has killed a lot of great work. You're not just competing with peers who launched this week. You're competing with time-tested work that already lives on Netflix, in bookstores, in cultural memory. Title, cover, logo, copy, collaborators—these aren't afterthoughts. They're part of the creative expression. Books have covers because people judge them. Your work does too. And if you're already hunting for shortcuts before you've started? That's a signal. Principles over formulas. The shortcuts get exploited the moment they work for everyone. Timecodes So You Can Jump Around 00:00 – Welcome and why this episode is part of Summer School 04:52 – Ryan Holiday joins; life on a ranch outside Austin 09:14 – From renegade marketer to writer: Trust Me, I'm Lying and how attention spreads 15:05 – Why marketing today means starting a discussion 16:58 – Stoicism as a practical art of living 21:54 – Discipline one: perception 25:34 – Discipline two: action (start it, then show it) 28:47 – Discipline three: will (Edison's fire and transforming hardship) 31:36 – Ego vs. confidence; marketing without marketing to yourself 37:01 – Fall in love with the verb, not the noun 40:14 – Perennial Seller: the art of making work that lasts 47:08 – "This is a blank that does blank for blank" 51:07 – Habits of people who make great work (editors, collaborators, objectivity) 54:47 – The other 50%: craft plus packaging, relationships, and community 01:04:35 – Frameworks: Who is this for? What does this do? 01:19:05 – Daily Stoic, memento mori, and closing thoughts Why This Conversation Still Matters In 2017, Ryan was already describing an attention landscape where your best work competes with cats, outrage, porn, fake news, and infinite other options in the feed. That landscape didn't calm down. It accelerated. What still cuts through is the opposite of trend-chasing: work built on timeless problems, principles that survive platform changes, and the humility to keep doing the verb while everyone else celebrates the noun. When I'm stuck—when the world feels noisy and my own next project feels either too precious or too thin—I come back to this episode for the same reminders: Control how you see it. Take action. Let the hard parts transform you. Ask who it's for and what it does. Don't confuse finishing the making with finishing the work. Fall in love with the craft more than the identity. And don't wait until you feel safe to do the honest version of the thing. That's why it's Summer School material. The platforms changed. The books multiplied. The stakes got louder. The questions held. Keep Going Deeper If this conversation resonates: Perennial Seller: The Art of Making and Marketing Work That Lasts The Obstacle Is the Way Ego Is the Enemy Trust Me, I'm Lying Daily Stoic: dailystoic.com Ryan online: ryanholiday.net Follow Ryan: Website | X/Twitter | Facebook Questions to Reflect On Am I still stuck in "thinking about" the project—or have I started something I can show? Where am I treating a hard situation as a verdict, instead of as information I can act on? Am I marketing to an audience—or marketing to myself? Have I fallen in love with the noun (author, founder, photographer) more than the verb? If I had to fill in "This is a ___ that does ___ for ___," could I do it clearly—today? Where have I finished the making and abandoned the second marathon: positioning, packaging, relationships, community? Am I building on timeless problems—or on platforms and tactics that may not survive the next cycle? The Core Idea Work that lasts isn't the work that wins the news cycle. It's the work that keeps solving something real for someone specific—long after the launch adrenaline fades. Ryan's invitation in this conversation is both simple and demanding: sharpen your perception, take action before you announce, let difficulty refine you, kill the ego that wants applause without evidence, and build for durability instead of novelty. If there's one lesson worth carrying forward from this Summer School session, it's this: Make something that starts a conversation—and lasts long enough to deserve one.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Wednesdays on Whidbey & your host, Diane Wyzga. I'm often asked: “What brought you to Whidbey Island?” It's a standard ice breaker question here. My cheeky response is: A ferry brought me; ferries being a mode of transportation among the Washington islands. Many folks come here, vacation, fall in love, and return to claim their spot. Not me. It wasn't love at first sight. In truth, I washed up on the shores of Whidbey Island. My relationship with this place is more like an arranged marriage than falling-head-over-heels in love. An arranged marriage flips the traditional hook-up, dating, live together, get married sequence. Matchmakers introduce the partners, a wedding occurs, and love and intimacy are expected to develop afterward during marriage. While Hollywood movies often frame relationships around immediate romance, arranged marriages rely on a partnership built on shared foundations where emotional bonds grow over time. It's a pragmatic mindset requiring work and compromise that helps offset early disillusionment when one person's habits rub up against the other's expectations.     Unlike the traditional scenario where attraction might peak during a “honeymoon phase” the gradual growth of friendship, love, and meeting milestones together sets up a long-term companionship supported by those strong ties.   Just like our marriages, traditional or arranged, the place we live shapes our identities, behaviors, and well-being. Places we live—like the tides— direct our attention, movement, social interactions, personal growth and development. The community molds our sense of culture, belonging, what is normal, expected, possible and accepted. In ways large and small place fundamentally influences our daily routines, opportunities, and personality. After almost a decade in this semi-rural place, with all the highs and lows that come with starting anew in unfamiliar surroundings how have I come to love thee, Whidbey? Let me count the ways.   There's the cool Pacific Northwest climate, the landscape of old growth forests, farms and farmer's markets, abundant wildlife (sometimes too abundant in the garden), a slower pace because of narrow, winding 2-lane roads and reduced speed limits, the November to May Rain Festival that turns our attention and activities quietly inward. Ours is a deliberate lifestyle. We don't have malls or the hustle and bustle of city streets, or easy access to stuff one can get over in AmeriKa. Of course, that means we rely on ourselves and each other, especially when the power goes out and the hum of generators fills the night sky. Ours is a deceivingly robust community of varied social fabrics, politics, spirituality, intellects and economics. We support writers, artists, hikers, fisherfolk, entrepreneurs, farmers, poets, seniors, educators, and volunteers. Every meeting and gathering comes with a potluck. Yes, it can take time to find your people in a tight-knit rural place, but it's also a matter of stepping out the door, inviting people to share your front porch, building connections, building trust, learning tolerance for others. By and large people on Whidbey are friendly, welcoming, smart, clever, willing to shed big city ways to make room for patience. Maybe even understanding because we do not see all things the same way.   Ours hosts a plethora of outdoor spaces, free public transport, and the most wonderful library system that is the hub of our social connectedness. Sure the prices are higher than most, we do struggle to make ends meet, healthcare service could be better, and ferry schedule might be sketchy at times; but I knew I belonged when people greeted me by name in the grocery store or ACE Hardware or I was invited to begin teaching story courses for adults. Don't get me wrong. Whidbey Island is not unlike your community. It's not all rainbows and rhubarb pie here. We have our share of folks who behave like dumbshits. But for every person who behaves like a dumbshit there's a dozen who are truly kind and decent. That's the bit to remember because despite the ups and downs a time must come when you agree with yourself to set aside feelings of uncertainty, venture out, expand your horizons, engage with your new found community. As an introvert's introvert the idea of making a coffee date was not in my toolkit; but once I did step out it became easier and I learned that others were just waiting to be invited. This place called Whidbey Island is the place I live; even more important are the people I'm still coming to know who are shaping who I am. “But now that I am in love with a place that doesn't care how I look and if I am happy, happy is how I look and that's all.” *** Question: What is it about the place you live that has charmed and shaped you? *** Weathering ~  by Fleur Adcock "My face catches the wind from the snow line and flushes with a flush that will never wholly settle. Well, that was a metropolitan vanity, wanting to look young forever, to pass. I was never a pre-Raphaelite beauty and only pretty enough to be seen with a man who wanted to be seen with a passable woman. But now that I am in love with a place that doesn't care how I look and if I am happy, happy is how I look and that's all. My hair will grow grey in any case, my nails chip and flake, my waist thicken, and the years work all their usual changes. If my face is to be weather beaten as well, it's little enough lost for a year among the lakes and vales where simply to look out my window at the high pass makes me indifferent to mirrors and to what my soul may wear over its new complexion."

Are you chasing longevity hacks while missing the habits that actually change your health? Everyone wants the shortcut. The GLP-1. The fasting protocol. The supplement. The perfect biomarker. The next thing that promises better energy, better body composition, and a longer life. But the real issue is that most people are drowning in information and still missing what actually moves the needle. Your body is not random. Muscle affects insulin sensitivity. Movement changes how glucose gets used. Sleep impacts recovery. Fasting can be powerful when it is done strategically. And the right biomarkers can show you risks that "normal" lab work may completely miss. Once you understand the why behind the habit, you stop guessing and start making smarter decisions. In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I sit down with Dr. Jonathan Schoeff, surgeon, longevity expert, and co-founder of The Longevity Lab, to break down the real science behind GLP-1s, muscle loss, fasting, testosterone, grip strength, key biomarkers, movement, sleep, and what actually supports long-term health. What's Discussed: (1:26:03) Why GLP-1s are more nuanced than the muscle loss headlines suggest. (1:30:31) How strategic fasting can support fat loss without sacrificing muscle. (1:33:09) Why fasting activates repair pathways and metabolic flexibility. (1:39:26) What fasting actually does to insulin, ketosis, and fat burning. (1:42:29) Why random five-day fasts may not work the way people think. (1:55:24) How to structure a pre-fast, fast, and post-fast day. (1:57:02) Why walking after your last meal can change glucose and insulin response. (2:09:31) How metabolic dysfunction can drive low testosterone in men. (2:23:29) What biomarkers most doctors miss, including fasting insulin and lipoprotein(a). (2:31:23) Why grip strength is an overhyped longevity metric and what matters more.   Thank You to Our Sponsors! Magic Mind: Head over to magicmind.com/jen and use code JEN at checkout.

What if the emotional patterns you struggle with aren’t actually who you are? What if they’re just patterns—and patterns can be interrupted? I’m joined by Dr. Elisha Goldstein, returning to the show eight years after his first appearance, to talk about his new book, Tiny Shifts: How Emotional Health Transforms Stress, Relationships, and Longevity. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about healthy eating, exercise, fitness, sleep, and all the things we do to live a long and healthy life, but what about the emotional stuff? Because Elisha makes the case that emotional longevity is just as important as physical longevity—and that living in a high-stress, agitated pattern can potentially take years off your life. We get into his simple 4-R method: recognize, release, refocus, reinforce, which can help you catch yourself in an overwhelmed loop before you spiral into those undesirable, repeatable patterns. We talk about why the skills we learn can easily fail us when we need them the most—when we’re under pressure, agitated, or triggered—and how to create more space between stimulus and response. Elisha explains why emotions are biology, how getting in touch with what’s happening in your body can change the way you respond, and why asking your brain better questions can lead to better answers. We also talk about the everyday moments that can send us into these patterns, from traffic to social media outrage to difficult relationships, and Elisha shares a personal story about getting scammed online that puts all of this to the test in real time. This is a fascinating conversation about emotional health, longevity, and learning to recognize the patterns that drive our behavior so we can interrupt them and give ourselves more choice in the moments when we need it most.

"You have to figure out how to make self-care a priority because you know the body does not sit still... Your mindset will allow you to move forward, or it will take you backwards." —Dr. Mitra Ray Stanford-trained biologist Dr. Mitra Ray spent three decades building a career in women's longevity, but the habits she taught everyone else became something she never expected: the infrastructure that kept her upright after her husband, Doug, died suddenly in a paragliding accident in October 2023. In this conversation with host Justine Reichman, Dr. Ray traces her path from NIH- and Alzheimer's-funded cancer research to walking away from the lab, building a word-of-mouth wellness brand that sold 2 million copies with zero advertising, and eventually testing her own biological age during the hardest year of her life — and watching it go backward. This episode is for anyone navigating midlife, grief, perimenopause, or the quiet realization that the wellness habits they've dismissed as trendy might be the thing holding them together. Dr. Ray and Justine talk candidly about cold plunging, sobriety, plant-based nutrition, sleep science, and the gut-microbiome research behind cravings — grounding every claim in the biology, not the buzzwords. Key takeaways: Dr. Ray's biological age measurably reversed during the year she grieved her husband, evidence that consistent habits can outperform circumstance. Comparing your current body to a memory of your 25-year-old self is biologically counterproductive — memories change every time you access them, and the comparison itself triggers cortisol and inflammation. Cold plunging activates the anterior mid-cingulate cortex, the brain region tied to willpower and will to live, which Dr. Ray leaned on deliberately after losing Doug. Food cravings are largely dictated by gut bacteria, not willpower — feeding plant-based bacteria gradually shifts what your body craves. "Superagers" in their 80s are still generating new neurons, making neurogenesis — not a return to a younger self — the more useful benchmark for healthy aging. Grief lives in the body: cortisol, thyroid, and hormone levels shift during loss, and naming that process without judgment is part of recovering from it.

Dr. Mitra Ray has spent more than 30 years helping people understand this, and more importantly, live it. Her path into health was shaped by both rigorous science and lived experience. She completed her undergraduate degree at Cornell University and earned her PhD from Stanford Medical School, where her research was funded by multiple NIH grants and recognized with the Young Investigator Award from the Federation of American Societies in Experimental Biology. Her work has been published in Science, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and the Journal of Cell Biology: journals that do not publish ideas lightly. But credentials alone do not explain why audiences across four continents keep coming back to hear her speak, or why her books and lectures on health, beauty, brain function, and longevity have resonated as widely as they have. The reason is simpler: she translates what the science actually says into something you can do and sustain. Her focus has always been whole plant foods, an active body, and a clear mind. These three things, she has come to understand, are not a wellness trend. They are the foundation. Everything downstream of that foundation- how you look, how you feel, how you age- follows. The Elder's Evolution, her Substack publication, is where she writes about what it means to age well, with full attention paid to both the biology and the deeper questions that biology alone cannot answer.

If you've ever flipped off a buddy driving past on the highway, stopped cold when you heard reveille, or felt physically uncomfortable when someone thanked you for your service, you already know what this episode is. Twenty habits from military life that never fully leave you, and that can seriously confuse the civilians around you. In this episode, I walk through the full list: from greeting your best friends with the middle finger to standing at the position of attention during the national anthem, from using military lingo in normal conversation to keeping contingency plans for a night at a concert. Some of these are funny. Some hit different. All of them are real.   Timestamps (00:00) - Intro (00:32) - Flipping Off Friends (01:39) - National Anthem Stance (02:15) - Roasting and Branch Rivalry (02:51) - Avoiding Political Discourse (03:45) - Military Attire and Habits (04:23) - Military Lingo (04:36) - Waking Up at 5:30 AM (04:46) - Judging Posture and Appearance (05:03) - Showing Up Early (05:19) - Dark Humor (05:42) - Sounds That Hit Different (06:09) - Last Names and Overpacking (06:48) - Using Acronyms (07:01) - Contingency Plans (07:24) - "Living the Dream" (07:57) - Avoiding the Grass (08:12) - Being Thanked for Service   About the Show On the Military Millionaire Podcast, I share real conversations with service members, veterans, and their families.

Friendship is something so many of us long for, yet it can feel harder than ever to build as adults. Between busy schedules, social media, past hurts, and the fear of putting ourselves out there, it's easy to believe that deep, meaningful friendships just aren't possible anymore.  Today, I'm joined by my longtime friend and mentor, Crystal Paine, for an honest conversation about why friendship matters so much, and why it's one of the most important cornerstones of a happy, purposeful life. Crystal vulnerably shares her own journey through loneliness, friendship breakups, insecurity, and learning to build healthier relationships rooted in authenticity instead of approval. Together, we talk about healing after friendship wounds, recognizing unhealthy expectations, learning to ask for help, embracing vulnerability, and why community isn't something that simply happens, it's something we intentionally create through small, consistent actions.  We also share practical, approachable ways to cultivate deeper friendships, whether that's being the first to reach out, asking better questions, remembering the little things that matter to people, or simply sending a text to let someone know they're on your mind. If you've ever felt lonely, struggled to find your people, or wondered if it's worth trying again after being hurt, I hope this conversation reminds you that meaningful friendships are still possible.  Sometimes all it takes is one tiny tweak, one courageous invitation, or one small act of vulnerability to begin building the kind of community your heart has been longing for.

n Episode 293 of the Moonshots Podcast, Mike and Mark dive into Albert Read's inspiring book The Imagination Muscle to explore why imagination isn't an inborn gift—it's a muscle that grows stronger with deliberate practice.Together they unpack how the world's greatest creators develop original ideas, why boredom may be one of your greatest creative assets, and how adopting a beginner's mindset can unlock fresh thinking. They also discuss practical exercises to strengthen your imagination, overcome fear, and make creativity part of your everyday life.If you've ever felt stuck, uninspired, or convinced that you're “just not creative,” this episode offers a refreshing perspective—and a practical roadmap—to help you think differently and create with greater confidence.Primary Website: https://www.moonshots.io/Book: The Imagination Muscle by Albert ReadBuy on Amazon: https://geni.us/TsrReYWatch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/-bZ3cn7rCVw⸻Key Themes* Imagination is a skill that can be trained.* Great ideas come from combining diverse sources of inspiration.* Creativity flourishes when we deliberately make time for quiet thinking.* A beginner's mindset helps us escape routine and discover fresh perspectives.* Social media and constant stimulation can limit original thinking.* Fear is one of the biggest obstacles to creativity.* Small, consistent creative habits compound into lasting growth.⸻Concepts & BreakthroughsImagination Is a MuscleAlbert Read reframes creativity as a practice rather than a personality trait. Like physical fitness, imagination strengthens through regular use. Mike and Mark reflect on how this simple shift removes the pressure of waiting for inspiration and replaces it with consistent action.Collect Better InputsThe episode highlights that creative breakthroughs often result from unexpected combinations of ideas. Picasso, Aaron Sorkin and other creative masters all developed unique rituals for gathering inspiration before producing original work.Rather than searching for one brilliant idea, listeners are encouraged to become collectors—of books, conversations, observations and experiences—that can later combine into something entirely new.Protect Space for ThinkingModern life is filled with interruptions, notifications and endless streams of information. Albert argues that imagination needs space to breathe.Mike and Mark discuss creating intentional moments of quiet through walks, uninterrupted mornings, observation exercises and even scheduled boredom—allowing the mind to connect ideas naturally.The Power of the Beginner's MindExperts often become trapped by familiar thinking. Approaching problems with curiosity instead of certainty creates opportunities for innovation.Reading outside your normal interests, asking simple questions and deliberately seeking unfamiliar experiences all help develop fresh perspectives.Courage Before CreativityOne of the episode's strongest insights is that imagination grows alongside courage.Every sketch, poem, voice memo or imperfect idea strengthens resilience against fear of failure. Rather than waiting until ideas are perfect, creative confidence develops through repeated attempts and experimentation.⸻Habits, Tools & Mental Models* Treat imagination like a daily workout.* Collect ideas, quotes and observations in an idea bank.* Schedule periods without digital distractions.* Go for curiosity walks with the goal of noticing something new.* Read outside your usual genres and interests.* Combine two unrelated ideas to generate fresh thinking.* Use voice notes or journals to capture ideas immediately.* Practice one small creative act every day.* Embrace boredom instead of filling every quiet moment.* Ask beginner's questions, even when you think you know the answer.

Gen Z is facing backlash over a new job interview trend: using smartphones for virtual interviews. Career experts and employers say phone interviews can hurt first impressions and raise questions about professionalism, communication skills, and workplace etiquette. Is this a generational shift in how people approach work, or a sign that basic career standards are disappearing?

Most supplement routines fail because they ask people to follow a perfect daily ritual in an imperfect real life Complicated regimens with multiple bottles, doses, and reminders create friction that causes people to quit over time Research suggests heavier daily pill burden often links to poorer adherence, while simpler routines tend to help people stay consistent Pill swallowing itself can be a major barrier, especially when people need to take several capsules at once Habits form best when a new behavior connects to a stable daily cue, and eating provides one of the most reliable cues in daily life. Food-first supplement formats aim to make daily use easier by fitting targeted support into meals instead of adding another separate health chore
