Send us a textIn this week's Friday 5, I'm sharing my five favourite gadgets for healthier, stronger hair growth — from simple daily tools like a natural bristle brush and scalp massager, to more advanced options including the Nurosym device and red light therapy.I'll explain how each one works, the research behind them, and where they fit into a root-cause approach to hair loss. You'll also hear some of my own experiences — including what helped me during my alopecia journey, and why I think gadgets are about more than just hair.Whether you're dealing with thinning, alopecia, or simply want to optimise your hair health, these gadgets can support circulation, reduce stress, and create the right environment for growth.

The humble vacuum cleaner is a household hero, but its story is far from simple. It's a fascinating saga of grit, genius, and a little bit of luck. Most people have never heard of J. Murray Spangler, the asthmatic janitor who cobbled together the first electric suction sweeper from a broom, a pillowcase, and an old fan motor. His ingenious invention, born from a need to escape a dusty, backbreaking job, was a game-changer. Yet, he hardly sold any of his machines.This podcast reveals how his cousin's husband, a savvy leather goods maker named William Hoover, saw the potential and transformed a struggling invention into a global brand so iconic that its name became a verb.But the story doesn't start or end there. We'll travel back in time to the very beginnings of civilized life and the invention of the broom, tracing its evolution from a simple bundle of leaves to the meticulously engineered sorghum broom of the 18th century. From there, we'll uncover the forgotten inventors who tried and failed to mechanize cleaning with bellows and hand cranks, paving the way for innovations like the Bissell carpet sweeper, born from a wife's frustration with sawdust on the floor of her husband's pottery shop.This deep dive into the history of home cleaning isn't just about machines—it's about the people behind them. We'll explore the perseverance of inventors like James Dyson, who battled a skeptical industry for years to prove that a bagless vacuum cleaner using cyclone technology was a superior solution. His long and difficult journey from 5,127 prototypes to market domination serves as a powerful reminder that true innovation often requires unwavering belief. Join us to discover how frustration and a touch of genius led to one of the most significant and overlooked inventions of the modern home.You can find a transcript of the story hereAnd check out my website for many other stories and other resources to help think about and manage innovation

Off-track, Honda and Yamaha are the key protagonists in the 2026 MotoGP rider market. On-track, they've both gone backwards again after their breakthrough results in May.Why has that happened, and is a champion rider like Jorge Martin right to put his faith in investment and long-term hope over current performance and the evidence of recent years? Simon Patterson and Val Khorounzhiy make the case for Honda and Yamaha's prospects to a sceptical Matt Beer in The Race MotoGP Podcast.Honda's likely 2026 line-up - and a surprise twist in it - is discussed too, as is the possibility of a total rider clearout at Yamaha's second team, even though the Pramac duo Miguel Oliveira and Jack Miller are matching or outperforming struggling factory rider Alex Rins.Want to win a Marc Marquez special edition 8K AI-powered camera, signed by Marquez himself?We've teamed up with Insta360 to give away an autographed Insta360 Ace Pro 2 MM93 Edition - a special customised version of the camera with Marquez's logo and iconic #93 on its body, plus other unique Marquez customisation touches.For a chance to win the signed Marquez edition Insta360 camera, all you have to do is send us ONE question about Marquez that you'd love The Race MotoGP Podcast team to answer.

Here's a walk through of one of my real world, paid 15k web design proposals. I walk you through what I included, how I structured it and the 3 keys I recommend that every web design proposal have.This audio is taken from a recent video I posted on my YouTube channel so I highly recommend checking out the video version if you'd like to see all the visuals!⏯️ Watch the video version hereAnd you share your thoughts, feedback and questions at the show notes for this one which will be at joshhall.co/380Quick tips:Web proposals don't need to be complex PDF brochures to be effective—they need to clearly communicate goals, deliverables, and pricing to help clients make decisions quickly.• Website proposals should focus on three key elements: goals and expected results, a simple outline of deliverables, and clear costs presented as investments• The most effective proposals are scannable documents of 2-3 pages, not 20-page brochures that overwhelm clients• Include 10-15 high-level deliverables rather than an exhaustive checklist of every task you'll perform• Separate core website development from add-on services like SEO boosts or e-commerce functionality to create clear line items• Consider your proposal's audience—often they need to share it with CEOs or boards who need to quickly understand what they're approving• Real examples of successful proposals show consistent structure across different project sizes, from $4,000 to $15,000• Payment schedules should be clearly outlined with 50% upfront for smaller projects or 30/30/40 splits for larger ones

In this episode of the Belonging Project Podcast, host Fiorenza and psychologist Leila Ainge delve into the concept of imposter phenomenon, reframing it from a syndrome to a more inclusive phenomenon. They explore how feelings of self-doubt intersect with belonging, the impact of gender and cultural context, and the importance of community. The conversation emphasises the need for self-acceptance and offers practical tools for navigating imposter feelings, ultimately transforming them into opportunities for growth and self-discovery.Imposter phenomenon can lead to self-discovery.Episode takeaways* Imposter phenomenon is a common experience, not a syndrome.* Reframing imposter syndrome as a phenomenon encourages curiosity.* Gender and context significantly influence experiences of imposter feelings.* Cultural values can normalize self-doubt and imposter feelings.* Belonging is a complex interplay of individual and group dynamics.* Imposter feelings can lead to self-discovery and growth.* Language plays a crucial role in shaping our experiences of belonging.* Communities can provide both support and feelings of disconnection.* Self-acceptance is key to overcoming imposter feelings.* Practical tools can help individuals navigate their imposter experiences.Chapters04:00 Understanding Imposter Phenomenon05:43 Reframing the Conversation11:44 The Impact of Gender and Context17:06 Cultural Influences on Imposter Feelings23:01 Navigating Belonging and Identity29:45 Transforming Imposter Feelings into Growth35:52 Practical Tools for Self-AcceptanceEpisode's resourcesYou can find Leila's podcast hereAnd this is her own podcast episode on the imposter phenomenon, if you fancy a deep dive.You can find more about my guest Leila Ainge on:www.leilaainge.co.uk https://www.linkedin.com/in/leilajaneainge/

Send me a Text Message about the show!Time to do an update on how things are going in the Department of Education now that we are 623 days into the Trump administration. Wait, no…..I'm being told it has actually been 27 days. I'm sorry.So when I last spoke about the Dept of Education, it was November 18th and I was reacting to the release of then President elect Trump's 10 point education plan.I did an overview on the history of the Department of Education and an overview of the programs in which the Department oversees. I would encourage you, if you haven't already, to listen to that episode first as I will be jumping into a lot more detail and specifics about the Department of Education in this episode.You can listen to that episode hereAnd now we know what the reality is of this administration's plan. As President Trump said in a press conference from the Oval office on February 13th, “I'd like to close the department of education immediately”. Although his nominee for Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon is still going through her confirmation hearing, she has echoed this goal, although perhaps on a slightly slower timeline than the President has said. Today I want to try my best to articulate what these proposed changes will mean in practice in as plain and clear language as I can.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of Alain Locke's classic essay "The New Negro" and the literary anthology featuring the work of Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Countee Cullen and other significant black writers of the day.The rising artistic scene would soon be known as the Harlem Renaissance, one of the most important cultural movements in American history. And it would be centered within America's largest black neighborhood -- Harlem, the "great black city," as described by Wallace Thurman, with a rising population and growing political and cultural influence.During the 1920s, Harlem became even more. Along "Swing Street" and Lenox Avenue, nightclubs and speakeasies gave birth to American music and fostered great musical talents like Count Basie, Billie Holiday and Duke Ellington. Ballrooms like the Savoy and the Alhambra helped turn Harlem into a destination for adventure and romance.What were these two worlds like -- the literary salons and the nightclubs? How removed were these spheres from the everyday lives of regular Harlem residents? How did the neighborhood develop both an energetic and raucous music scene and a diverse number of churches -- many (like the Abyssinian Baptist Church) still around today?Visit the website for more details and more podcastsGet tickets to our March 31 City Vineyard event Bowery Boys HISTORY LIVE! hereAnd join us for our Gilded Age Weekend in New York, May 29-June 1, 2025.

Luke Kemp (historical collapse expert; associate at the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk) has studied past civilisations and mapped out a picture of how long they tend to last before they collapse, what tends to tip them and what (if anything) can be done to stall their demise. Luke works alongside Lord Martin Rees and Yuval Noah Harari, is an honorary lecturer in environmental policy at the Australian National University and his collapse insights have been covered by the BBC, the New York Times and the New Yorker. His first book, 'Goliath's Curse: The History and Future of Societal Collapse' will be published in June 2025. In this episode I get Luke to provide a bit of a 101 on how civilisations do indeed decline and perish and to update us on the latest theories on how and whether ours might make it through. The answer is surprising.SHOW NOTESHere's Luke's original report on complex civilisation's lifespans.Keep up to date with Luke's work hereA few past Wild guests are referenced by Luke.

Steven Page is not just another great guest to me. He sings on one of my top 15 albums of all time, Gordon. He's a multiple Juno award winner and Grammy nominee with his former band Barenaked Ladies. As part of that group he's sold over 15 million albums and singles and is in the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. There is so much more I could have talked about with this gifted singer and songwriter. So many awesome experiences he's had that I didn't have time to ask about (opening for The Who for example), but I think if you are already a fan, you'll still learn a thing or two you didn't know. If you aren't already a fan, welcome to the club.All songs written by Steven Page:What a Good Boy (co written by Ed Robertson)A New Shore (co written with Craig Northery)The Golden Age of Doubling DownOver Joy (co written with Stephen Duffy)More about at this link Steven Page More about all things Acoustic Alternatives related HEREAnd it doesn't happen without Grove Studios.
