Are you struggling to maintain soil health and reduce costs in your indoor farming operation? Soil steaming technology might be the solution you've been searching for.In this episode, I speak with Hans Kristian Westrum, Chief Strategy Manager at Soil Steam, about their innovative soil steaming technology. Hans grew up on a farm in Norway and later pursued a career in business before returning to agriculture. His company, Soil Steam, has developed machines that use steam to sanitize soil and substrates, eliminating harmful pathogens and weeds without chemicals.We discuss how Soil Steam's technology evolved from open field applications to containerized solutions for indoor farming. Hans shares insights on how their machines can effectively treat substrates, allowing farmers to recycle growing media and reduce costs. Recent trials with strawberry growers in Belgium demonstrated that steamed, recycled substrates performed as well as new substrates, opening up exciting possibilities for sustainable farming practices.The conversation also touches on the challenges of balancing different market demands, from construction projects to indoor farms. Hans emphasizes the importance of focusing on containerized solutions to meet the growing needs of indoor farmers worldwide. We explore future plans for expansion into North America and the company's commitment to participating in industry conferences to share their research and technology.If you're curious about innovative solutions for sustainable indoor farming and want to learn how soil steaming technology could revolutionize your growing practices, don't miss this fascinating conversation with Hans Kristian Westrum.Thanks to Our SponsorsCEA Summit East - https://indoor.ag/cea-summit-east-2025/Indoor AgCon - https://indoor.ag/Key Takeaways0:00 Intro: Steaming soil for construction and farming5:13 Early experiences with steam on the farm16:53 Expanding into indoor farming and substrates21:15 Research on steaming to eliminate pathogens27:52 Positive results from substrate recycling tests34:00 Focusing on container-based steaming machines39:02 Closing thoughts and future plansTweetable Quotes"We steam the substrate before they took it in the first time to have control. Be 100% sure that this is clean. These guys cannot take a risk on anything. If you have one disease in that coco coir or whatever you get, if something can happen, it means it comes from Sri Lanka and it can go by boat, what happens all this distance.""We got rid of the harmful organisms that were there and the natural life was back two weeks after. It comes from surroundings, from the soil beneath and stuff like that.""I think it's a fantastic combination. You can talk about sustainability, but if there's no saving money, it's impossible. We say that we can recycle one cube of the substrate at the cost of maybe five to ten dollars. Approximately something between 50 and 60, 70, $80 per cube."Resources MentionedWebsite - http://www.soilsteam.comLinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/hans-kristian-westrum-12023444/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/soilsteamConnect With UsVFP LinkedIn -

Welcome to another insightful episode of the Legal Nurse Podcast! I'm your host, Pat Iyer, and today we're pulling back the curtain on one of the most powerful tools in the legal nurse consultant's arsenal: the medical record audit trail. With my guest, seasoned nurse practitioner and legal nurse consultant Amy Puls, we're diving deep into how audit trails unravel key facts hidden beneath the surface of electronic medical records (EMRs). If you've ever wondered how attorneys and LNCs can truly dig into the timeline of events in a patient's medical care, this episode is for you. Throughout our discussion, Amy shares real-world stories where audit trails were game-changers—including multimillion-dollar settlements and cases where critical facts came to light only because an expert knew where to look. We explore why getting an audit trail early in a case can make all the difference, the various types of audit trails, and what to ask for when requesting this vital data. Plus, Amy reveals tips on dealing with common defense pushbacks, the importance of proper formatting (hint: always ask for Excel!), and why audit trail expertise is a growing subspecialty for legal nurse consultants. Tune in as we demystify audit trails, provide actionable strategies for both plaintiff and defense teams, and highlight how trained professionals like Amy can spot the “missing pieces” others might overlook.

Inside ownership can give companies an advantage when it comes to long-term growth. That includes having a leader or family with a substantial stake in the business. And it also covers firms with farsighted backers, such as philanthropic foundations, which encourage management to take the long view. From airline Ryanair to hearing aid specialist Demant, investment manager Jenny Davis explores how having skin in the game drives firms to act with persistence. Background:Jenny Davis is a Baillie Gifford partner and an investment manager in our International Alpha Team. She specialises in companies based outside the US that offer ‘quality growth' – combining the potential for outperformance with durability.In this podcast, she explores how persistent, inside ownership works to the advantage of companies she has backed. Examples include firms with founders who have retained a significant stake, those with long-serving hired leaders rewarded with shares and other long-term incentives, companies with family owners where control has passed between generations, and businesses backed by a foundation or holding company with long-term objectives.Companies covered include:Discovery – the health insurer that has gone global, using data to nudge customers into improving their fitness.Ryanair – the European airline that benefited from its chief executive's obsession with controlling costs.Technoprobe – the family-run ‘probe card' specialist whose ability to spot faults in computer chips has kept pace with semiconductors' increasing complexity.Demant – the hearing aid specialist backed by a charitable foundation, which has invested in getting closer to its customers.Scout24 – the German property portal whose independence Baillie Gifford helped preserve, allowing it to pursue a successful long-term growth strategy.Resources: Baillie GiffordA new age of discovery: the case for international (restricted to certain clients)Pioneers: 8 Principles of Business Longevity from Immigrant EntrepreneursShort Briefings on Long Term Thinking  Companies mentioned include:DemantDiscovery LtdFerrariHermèsInvestor ABLVMHNovo NordiskRichemontRyanairScout24ShimanoTechnoprobeTSMCTimecodes:00:00 Introduction01:55  The “scenic route” to asset management03:00  Focusing on quality growth04:35  Persistence's enduring edge05:45  Different types of inside ownership06:30 Discovery's healthy nudges08:10  Adrian Gore's visionary leadership09:45  How Michael O'Leary turbocharged Ryanair12:45  Ryanair's scale advantage14:00  Technoprobe's family leadership16:25  Engaging with Richemont's Johan Rupert18:30  Demant's long-term philanthropic backer20:55  Providing persistence's benefits to Scout2422:55  Selling out of Credit Suisse24:30  Persistence and alignment26:10  Book choice

Episode Summary: This episode tackles the universal fear of an unknown future, anchored by a powerful quote from Steve Jobs: "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards." Randy and Greg explore why this uncertainty often paralyzes us, preventing us from taking the first step towards our goals. They discuss the importance of setting a crystal-clear vision, as taught by Earl Nightingale, and trusting that the necessary steps—the "dots"—will reveal themselves along the way. Listeners will learn why "failing fast" is a powerful strategy, how to leverage an inner circle for unbiased advice, and why your small, everyday decisions have a massive impact on your future. This conversation is a masterclass in learning to trust the process, even when you can't see the full path ahead. Key Takeaways: You don't need to see the entire path to your goal; you only need to take the next logical step with faith. Setting a crystal-clear goal is the most crucial first step, as it activates your mind to recognize opportunities and ideas that will help you achieve it. Overthinking and procrastination are often symptoms of wanting the security of a guaranteed outcome, which is impossible. "Failing fast" is an effective strategy to quickly learn if you are on the right path, rather than spending years on the wrong one. Your small, seemingly mundane daily decisions are the "dots" that create the full picture of your life in the future. Leveraging a trusted inner circle for advice is critical because they can offer a logical perspective free from the emotional attachment you have to your own situation. You must trust yourself and the process. Your past experiences don't dictate your future, but your decisions today do. Questions Answered in This Episode: What did Steve Jobs mean when he said you can only connect the dots looking backward? How do you move forward on a goal when you don't know all the steps involved? What is the first and most important step to take when pursuing a big goal? Why is it so hard to make decisions when the future is uncertain? How can the "fail fast" mentality help you achieve success more quickly? Why is it important to get an outside perspective from friends or mentors when making big decisions? How do your small, everyday choices impact your long-term future? What is the best way to handle the fear and self-doubt that come with chasing a big dream? Key People, Concepts, & Terms: People: Randy Wilson, Greg Junge, Steve Jobs, Earl Nightingale. Concepts: Connecting the Dots, Trusting the Process, Goal Setting, Clarity, Failing Fast, The Strangest Secret, Overthinking, Limiting Beliefs, Inner Circle/Mastermind, Personal Development.

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan sits down with Joel Benge, a strategist, author, and the mind behind "Message Therapy." With a rich and unconventional background that spans theater, video game testing, cybersecurity, and federal communications, Joel helps technical founders transform complex jargon into messaging that actually connects.Joel unpacks the biggest reason messaging falls flat: it's too cerebral and not nearly human enough. Drawing from Aristotle, Maslow, and his own experience in government and tech startups, Joel introduces frameworks like his “Message Therapy” card deck, a tool that blends psychology, storytelling, and gamification to uncover the true heart of a brand.This episode is packed with actionable insights for founders, product marketers, and anyone tasked with explaining something complicated in a way that actually sticks.If you've ever felt like your messaging doesn't land or sounds like everyone else, this conversation will help you find your voice, and your big idea.TakeawaysJoel Benge coined the term “Message Therapy” to help founders move from brainy jargon to emotionally resonant messaging.People don't want more data — they want their problems taken away.Message Therapy uses Aristotle's head, heart, and gut model to build trust, likability, and clarity.Joel's background in theater and government communications gives him a unique edge in helping technical teams communicate effectively.Gamification (via his card deck) helps teams uncover buried insights through fast-paced, structured prompts.Most messaging fails because it skips emotion and leans too heavily on logic or technical credibility.One simple fix: print your website and highlight content using color codes for logic, emotion, and credibility to visually audit your message mix.Outsourcing marketing too early often leads to generic, disjointed messaging without a narrative backbone.Founders should fall in love with the problem they're solving, not just the product they're building.Creating a shared "mantra" can unify internal teams and external messaging across ICPs and channels.Emotional storytelling is just as important (if not more) in B2B and technical industries.True differentiation comes from listening deeply, reframing language, and uncovering the beliefs and values that drive your company.Chapters00:00 Intro: Meet Joel Benge & Message Therapy01:45 From Theater Kid to Homeland Security Comms04:30 Jargon vs. Real Communication in Tech05:50 The Birth of Message Therapy07:00 Why Most Marketing Sounds the Same08:30 Head, Heart, Gut: The Aristotle Framework10:15 How Gamification Helps Teams Get Aligned12:30 Why Jargon Kills Sales and Clarity14:00 The "Blank Stare" Effect in Messaging17:00 Role Clarity: Be the Peacock or the Expert18:00 Website Fix: Use Highlighters to Audit Copy19:45 The Curse of Knowledge Trap21:00 Why Outsourcing Messaging Can Backfire23:00 The Hidden Power of White Papers25:00 Building a Database of Messaging DNA26:45 Messaging for Multi-Sided Marketplaces28:30 Creating Mantras That Actually Stick29:45 Aha Moments That Unlock the Real Message31:00 Who “Be a Nerd That Talks Good” Is For32:30 Why Joel Created a Card Deck34:00 Personal Advice for Technical Leaders36:00 Sell the Result, Not the Feature38:00 Reclaiming Authority in the Age of AI39:30 Closing Thoughts & Where to Find JoelJoel Benge's Social Media Links:https://www.linkedin.com/in/joelmbengehttps://www.instagram.com/joelmbengehttps://www.tiktok.com/@joelmbengeJoel Benge's Website:https://messagespecs.com/link/Resources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright

What does it really take to scale your business? Host Gary Heldt sits down with Cliff Goins IV, co-founder of Scaleup—a startup launched within Amazon to help diverse-owned businesses grow into large enterprises. With deep experience in fintech, asset management, and private equity, Cliff brings an unfiltered, strategy-first perspective to business growth.In this episode, Gary and Cliff unpack what holds businesses back from scaling—and it's not just about capital. From delegation and systems to social capital and financial metrics, this is a masterclass in how to level up with purpose.Key Takeaways:➤ The leap from small to scalable often starts with learning how to delegate and trust others—even when they do things differently than you would.➤ Many business owners get stuck doing tasks they can do, instead of focusing on what only they can do. Letting go is hard—but it's the unlock to growth.➤ Access to capital isn't the only barrier. Knowing what kind of capital you need—and when—is just as important.➤ Social capital can be more powerful than financial capital. The right introductions, advocates, and networks can change everything.➤ Business owners don't need to be CPAs to master their numbers. But they do need to understand their gross margin, cash flow, and forward-looking metrics.Favorite Quotes:“It's not exactly how you'd do it—but it's done. And you didn't have to do it.” “Scale is not just about size. It's about structure, strategy, and sustainability.”Resources:

Story Transcript:Hu: A Buda Vár alatti rejtett labor egy lenyűgöző hely volt.En: The hidden laboratory under Buda Vár was a fascinating place.Hu: A masszív kőfalak és a modern tudományos felszerelések különös keveredése megbabonázta azokat, akik beléptek.En: The peculiar blend of massive stone walls and modern scientific equipment captivated those who entered.Hu: Nyár volt, a hőség elől hűvös menedéket nyújtott a labor.En: It was summer, and the lab provided a cool refuge from the heat.Hu: Bence, a fiatal és ambiciózus tudós, ebben a titkos alagutakban dolgozott.En: Bence, a young and ambitious scientist, worked in these secret tunnels.Hu: Szenvedélye a megújuló energiaforrások felfedezése volt.En: His passion was the discovery of renewable energy sources.Hu: Réka, a történelem iránti rajongása miatt érkezett, kutatóként dolgozott a vár titkainak feltárásában.En: Réka, who was there due to her passion for history, worked as a researcher uncovering the secrets of the vár.Hu: Ágnes, a szkeptikus újságíró, mindig gyanakodott, hogy holmi összeesküvésekbe fog botlani munkája során.En: Ágnes, the skeptical journalist, was always suspicious that she would stumble upon conspiracies during her work.Hu: Egy nap, mikor Bence, Réka és Ágnes összeálltak, váratlan felfedezésbe botlottak a labor legmélyebb zugában.En: One day, when Bence, Réka, and Ágnes came together, they stumbled upon an unexpected discovery in the deepest corner of the lab.Hu: Egy régi ajtó mögött egy megújuló energia fejlesztésére irányuló kísérlet nyomaira bukkantak.En: Behind an old door, they found traces of an experiment aimed at developing renewable energy.Hu: Bence szeme felragyogott az izgalomtól.En: Bence's eyes lit up with excitement.Hu: „Ez forradalmasíthatja az energiatermelést!En: "This could revolutionize energy production!"Hu: ” – lelkesedett.En: he enthused.Hu: Réka ráncolta a homlokát.En: Réka furrowed her brow.Hu: „Vajon miért rejtették el őket ennyire?En: "Why were they hidden so well?Hu: Mi lehetett a kísérlet háttere?En: What was the background of the experiment?"Hu: ” – kérdezte.En: she asked.Hu: Ágnes, aki mindig a tények nyomában járt, kételkedett.En: Ágnes, who always followed the facts, was skeptical.Hu: „Ha ez ennyire fontos volt, miért nem hozták nyilvánosságra?En: "If this was so important, why wasn't it made public?"Hu: ” – morfondírozott hangosan.En: she pondered aloud.Hu: Bence eltökélte magát, hogy bebizonyítja: a kísérlet nem csupán reális, hanem biztonságos is.En: Bence was determined to prove that the experiment was not only real but also safe.Hu: „Jobbá tehetjük vele a világot!En: "We can make the world better with this!"Hu: ” – mondta.En: he said.Hu: De a feszült vitát egy váratlan esemény szakította félbe.En: But the tense debate was suddenly interrupted by an unexpected event.Hu: Bence véletlenül megérintett egy gombot, és a labor berendezései hirtelen zümmögni kezdtek.En: Bence accidentally touched a button, and the lab's equipment started to hum loudly.Hu: Az experimentálás beindult, és az épület, sőt a város is veszélybe került.En: The experimental process was activated, putting the building and even the city in danger.Hu: „Kapcsoljuk ki, mielőtt túl késő!En: "Turn it off before it's too late!"Hu: ” – kiáltott Réka.En: shouted Réka.Hu: Bence az irányítópulthoz rohant, a kezei remegtek.En: Bence rushed to the control panel, his hands trembling.Hu: Egy röpke pillanat alatt megtalálta a kapcsolót, és sikerült leállítania a folyamatot.En: In a fleeting moment, he found the switch and managed to shut down the process.Hu: A csend visszatért a laborba.En: Silence returned to the lab.Hu: A három fiatal mély levegőt vett, megkönnyebbülten.En: The three young people took a deep breath, relieved.Hu: „Tanulnunk kell ebből” – kezdte Bence.En: "We need to learn from this," Bence began.Hu: „A tudomány hatalmas erejű, de felelőséggel kell bánnunk vele.En: "Science is powerful, but we must handle it responsibly."Hu: ”Ágnes bólintott.En: Ágnes nodded.Hu: „Néha az igazság nem áll egyértelműen oldalunkra.En: "Sometimes the truth doesn't clearly side with us."Hu: ”Réka finoman elmosolyodott.En: Réka smiled gently.Hu: „Talán ha együtt dolgozunk, megtalálhatjuk az egyensúlyt a felfedezés és a biztonság között.En: "Perhaps if we work together, we can find the balance between discovery and safety."Hu: ”Aznap este mindhárom fiatal új felismerésekkel gazdagodott.En: That night, all three young people were enriched with new realizations.Hu: A labor labirintusa nem csak a múlt titkait rejtette, hanem a jövő lehetőségeit is.En: The labyrinth of the lab not only held the secrets of the past but also the possibilities of the future.Hu: De most már tudták, csak közös erővel és bölcs megfontolással léphetnek tovább.En: But now they knew they could only move forward with joint effort and wise consideration.

It might seem odd, but a lot of dogs get stolen in the United States. Like most other things, it's all about money. This episode begins with an explanation and a warning about your pet. https://petkeen.com/dognapping-dog-theft-statistics/ Being sensitive is a good thing. Being told you are TOO sensitive is more of an insult. It is perceived as a weakness, as if there is something wrong and the way to fix it is to toughen up. That isn't going to work according to Jenn Granneman. Yes, being sensitive can be difficult at times but it is also a superpower. Listen as Jenn champions those who are labeled “too sensitive” with research to support her beliefs. She also has some insight for those people who are not highly sensitive but have sensitive people in their lives. Jenn is author of the book Sensitive: The Hidden Power of the Highly Sensitive Person in a Loud, Fast, Too-Much World (https://amzn.to/456D3Qu). You probably don't think about it but recorded sound plays a major role in your life. Music, podcasts, radio, movie and TV sound –it is all very important to us. From Thomas Edison's first cylindrical recordings to today's digital downloads and streaming, the history of recorded sound is a story worth hearing. And here to tell it is Jonathan Scott author of the book Into the Groove :The Story of Sound From Tin Foil to Vinyl (https://amzn.to/3Kh1d2Q).

Have you ever stopped to think about the power of your words? I mean, we use them every day to communicate with others, to express ourselves, to share our thoughts and feelings. But what if I told you that your words have the power to shape your reality? That's right, the way you speak about yourself, your life, and your circumstances has a profound impact on your thoughts, your actions, and ultimately, your outcomes. We've all been guilty of speaking negatively about ourselves and our circumstances at some point. You know, saying things like "I'm so stupid," "I'm not good enough," or "I'll never be able to do this." But the truth is, those words have power. They have the power to hold us back, to make us doubt ourselves, and to limit our potential. When we speak negatively, we start to believe those things about ourselves, and before we know it, we've internalized them and they're holding us back from achieving our dreams. This kind of negative self-talk can seep into every area of our lives, affecting our relationships, our work, and even our physical health. It's like a poison that slowly eats away at our confidence, our self-worth, and our motivation. And the craziest part is, we often don't even realize we're doing it. We're so used to speaking negatively that it's become a habit, a default way of communicating that's holding us back. But here's the thing: we have the power to change that. We have the power to choose our words, to choose how we speak about ourselves and our lives. And when we make a conscious effort to speak positively, to use affirmations that uplift and inspire us, we start to see a shift. We start to feel more confident, more motivated, and more empowered to take on challenges. So, what are positive affirmations, exactly? They're statements that affirm a positive aspect of ourselves or our lives. They're declarations that what we want to create or achieve already exists, and that we're simply aligning ourselves with that reality. For example, "I am capable and competent," or "I trust myself and my abilities." When we repeat these affirmations to ourselves, we start to rewire our brains, to reprogram our thoughts and attitudes. I've seen this transformation happen in my own life, and in the lives of those around me. When we make a conscious effort to speak positively, to focus on what we want to create rather than what we want to avoid, amazing things start to happen. We start to feel more hopeful, more inspired, and more motivated to take action. The power of intentional language is a game-changer. As the amazing poet, Maya Angelou, once said, "Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning." When we use our words intentionally, when we speak life into existence, we start to see the world in a whole new light. So, I want to leave you with a challenge today. Be mindful of your language. Pay attention to the words you use to describe yourself and your life. Start to notice when you're speaking negatively, and make a conscious effort to shift those words into something positive. Speak life into existence with your words, and watch how it transforms your thoughts, your actions, and your outcomes. If you've had any experiences with positive language that you'd like to share, please drop them in the comments below. And if you're looking for more videos on personal growth, be sure to check out my next video on cultivating a growth mindset.

Have you ever wondered how a simple visit to a town can spark economic transformation? In this captivating conversation with Brandy Gleason, founder of the 1.3-million-member Ohio Road Trips Facebook group, we discover how tourism creates ripple effects that reshape communities.Brandy shares her remarkable journey from homeschooling mom documenting family adventures to influential travel writer whose recommendations have helped small businesses thrive across Ohio. What began as a modest blog in 2018 evolved into multiple published books and a social media empire that connects travelers with hidden gems throughout the state. With charming candor, she reveals how reluctantly she stepped into the spotlight, motivated by a desire to showcase the places and people that make Ohio special.The power of social media emerges as a central theme throughout our discussion. Brandy recounts how a single post about a farm stay generated over a million views, creating bookings through 2026 and allowing the owner to quit her day job. This pattern repeats across small towns where visitor discoveries translate into sustainable business growth. We explore what makes communities attractive destinations—passionate entrepreneurs, collaborative promotion, unique "love notes" like twinkle lights and music, and the power of authentic storytelling.Restaurant owners earn special recognition as Brandy discusses her upcoming book featuring 84 unique Ohio eateries. She's gained profound respect for these hardworking entrepreneurs who often source ingredients locally, creating economic multiplier effects beyond their own establishments. The "naturally crafted" approach not only delivers distinctive flavors but strengthens entire regional food systems.Whether you're a small business owner, local government official, or simply someone who loves discovering new places, this episode offers valuable insights into how tourism creates pathways for community development that begin with a single visit.

"Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn." This simple yet profound statement encapsulates a crucial mindset for effective leadership and personal growth. Our conversation dives deep into the transformative power of embracing failure as a catalyst for development rather than a source of shame.We explore how our relationship with competition shapes our leadership style. Tammy shares insights from growing up with an ultra-competitive father who viewed drive and hustle as essential traits, while also witnessing the limitations that arise when someone refuses to learn from losses. The most powerful leaders understand that competitiveness isn't about crushing others but elevating ourselves—becoming more through continuous learning.The distinction between allowing productive failure versus preventing catastrophic mistakes emerges as a critical leadership skill. Just as parents must sometimes let children experience natural consequences to learn life lessons, leaders face similar choices with their teams. When is it appropriate to let someone "clean up aisle five" versus preventing them from "falling off a roof"? These judgment calls require wisdom, empathy, and a genuine commitment to others' growth.Perhaps most compelling is the research suggesting that what truly ages us isn't our chronology but our unwillingness to keep learning. Those who declare "I'm done" or "I know enough" accelerate their own decline, while those who embrace humility and curiosity continue evolving regardless of age. We discuss how spectacular failures often create the most significant opportunities for growth—if we're willing to get up, dust ourselves off, and try again rather than avoiding challenges altogether.Ready to transform your relationship with failure? Listen now to discover how embracing both victories and lessons can help you become not just a better leader, but a more fulfilled human being. Share your own learning journey with us and join the conversation about turning setbacks into stepping stones.

In this week's episode of The Red Light Report, Dr. Mike Belkowski welcomes Elizabeth Grojean, founder and CEO of Baloo Living, to share her remarkable journey and the science behind weighted blankets.   Elizabeth opens up about leaving a high‑stress marketing career in New York to embark on a soul‑searching journey in Bali — an adventure that sparked her mission to help people achieve restorative sleep through eco‑conscious, beautifully crafted weighted blankets.   What you'll learn in this episode:   The science of deep pressure touch: how gentle, even weight reduces cortisol, boosts serotonin, and helps your body naturally produce melatonin for deeper, faster sleep.   Real-world data: results from a recent study showing improved sleep efficiency, reduced time to fall asleep, and higher readiness scores for those using Baloo blankets.   Sustainable wellness: why Elizabeth built Baloo Living with environmentally responsible materials and practices—so you can rest easier in more ways than one.   Practical tips: how to choose the right blanket weight and size, plus surprising uses for travel, meditation, and even pets.   Elizabeth and Mike also discuss the compounding benefits of simple habits—like adding a weighted blanket to you r nightly routine—so you can build resilience, improve recovery, and wake up truly refreshed. ​ P.S. If you've been curious about trying a weighted blanket, this episode might just convince you—it's a simple, one‑time change that can pay off every single night for years to come. - Key Quotes from Elizabeth Grojean:   “The even pressure across the whole body signals to the nervous system that you're safe. There's a decrease in cortisol almost immediately, and then there's an increase in serotonin, which naturally converts to melatonin.” “A weighted blanket is a one-time purchase that improves your sleep quality every single night. That has ongoing, compounding effects on your overall health.”  “We offset our carbon footprint from all production and operations—and then we double our offset. Because we all know we've done a bunch of harm to this planet, and the only way we'll ever get anywhere is if we start to undo some of that.”  - Key points: 00:00 – Introduction: Weighted Blanket Sleep Benefits 01:30 – Meet Elizabeth Grojean & Baloo Living 03:19 – The Foundational Role of Sleep in Health 03:43 – Elizabeth's Journey from NYC to Bali 05:11 – Birth of Baloo: Sleep as a Personal Renaissance 06:28 – Creating a Purposeful and Profitable Business 07:47 – The “Should vs. Must” Philosophy and Bali's Influence 09:04 – Weighted Blankets as a Nervous System Tool 10:10 – Deep Pressure Touch: The Science Behind the Calm 13:11 – Physiological Effects: Cortisol, Serotonin, and Melatonin 14:09 – Elizabeth's First Experience with a Weighted Blanket 15:07 – Choosing Your First Weighted Blanket 16:32 – Pets and Weighted Blankets: Thunder Jacket Parallel 17:25 – Baloo's Sleep Study & Key Results 19:01 – 27% Faster Sleep Onset & 10% Deep Sleep Increase 20:12 – Subjective Benefits and Readiness Score Boost 21:17 – Dr. Mike's Experience with Weighted Blankets and Magnets 23:04 – One-Time Health Investments That Compound Over Time 24:17 – Sustainability at Baloo: Eco Materials and Offsets 26:24 – Partnering with SeaTrees for Kelp Reforestation 28:08 – Upcycled Linen Robes Made in the USA 29:02 – Weighted Silk Sleep Mask with Crystals 31:05 – Pillow Mist and Lap Blanket for Meditation 34:04 – Considerations: Weight, Pain, and Accessibility 35:00 – Who Benefits Most: Kids, Anxious Sleepers & More 36:58 – Travel Options for Sleep Consistency 38:38 – Sleep Hacks: Breathwork and Daily Wellness Tools 40:13 – Breathwork Benefits: Grounding and Emotional Regulation 42:43 – What's Next: Retreats, Mindfulness, and Community 45:00 – Final Wisdom: Gentle Consistency in Health Habits 46:11 – Connect with Baloo Living - Where to learn more from and about Elizabeth Grojean & Baloo Living: Baloo Living(website) Instagram - Save 25% when you Subscribe & Save to a BioBundle!For a BioBundle, you choose: 1.)

In this enlightening episode of "Father and Joe," hosts Father Boniface Hicks and Joe Rockey delve into the profound journey of transforming from mere onlookers to active participants in the Mass. This transformation is likened to the difference between watching a NASCAR race and being one of the drivers, feeling every exhilarating moment. Father Boniface emphasizes that this journey is not an all-or-nothing proposition; it's about making a choice. He contrasts the utilitarian view of the Mass with its true essence—an ever-growing relationship, much like a marriage, which flourishes the deeper it becomes.The conversation addresses common objections, such as the misconception that every Mass is the same, and highlights how each experience is unique, just as no two days with a friend are ever identical. Father Boniface eloquently speaks about the Mass as a dynamic relationship, not a transactional experience. It's about the opportunity to sacrifice, love, and give everything for something greater, echoing the Christian value of martyrdom—offering oneself entirely out of love.Together, they explore the structure of the Mass, from the initial acknowledgment of sins to the transformative power of the Liturgy of the Word and the Eucharist. This episode uncovers how each stage of the Mass is designed to guide us from external observance to internal engagement. They discuss practical steps for entering deeper into the Mass, recognizing the signs and symbols that catch our attention, and ultimately meeting Christ through the Holy Communion. As Father Boniface mentions, staying in this relationship, even when not fully engaged, brings profound growth, both spiritually and personally.Father Boniface also touches on his book, "The Hidden Power of Silence in the Mass," inviting listeners to dive deeper into the beauty and purpose of the Mass. This episode serves as both a spiritual guide and a heartfelt conversation, encouraging everyone to reclaim their faith journey and build a stronger union with God, whether they've drifted away or seek to deepen their existing relationship.Tags: Mass, Spirituality, Church, God, Eucharist, Relationship with God, Faith Journey, Active Participation, Worship, Spiritual Growth, Community, Catholicism, Marriage Analogy, Transformation, Sacrifice, Liturgy, Eucharistic Prayer, Encountering Christ, Holy Communion, Personal Growth, Divine Presence, Christian Values, Faith Obstacles, Spiritual Direction, Handbook to Mass, Engaging Worship, Religious Practice, Catholic Faith, Spiritual Reflection, Deepening Faith, Mass Structure, Spiritual Conversations, Faith and Love, Building Relationships, Finding Purpose, Mass Experience, Christian Life, Spiritual Insights, Worship Guidance, Faith RenewalHashtags: #Mass #Spirituality #Church #God #Eucharist #FaithJourney #ActiveParticipation #Worship #SpiritualGrowth #Community #Catholicism #MarriageAnalogy #Transformation #Sacrifice #Liturgy #HolyCommunion #PersonalGrowth #ChristianValues #FaithObstacles #SpiritualDirection #MassHandbook #EngagingWorship #ReligiousPractice #CatholicFaith #SpiritualReflection #DeepeningFaith #MassStructure #SpiritualConversations #FaithAndLove #BuildingRelationships #FindingPurpose #MassExperience #ChristianLife #SpiritualInsights #WorshipGuidance #FaithRenewalThis line is here to correct the site's formatting error.

Trump still hasn't released the Epstein client list, the very list he promised to expose during his presidential campaign. He said the swamp would be drained and that the elite pedophiles would face justice. But the victims are still waiting.This isn't oversight. It's betrayal.Why is Trump suddenly acting like an Israeli ambassador? Why are American leaders more loyal to a foreign state than to their own people, and their own children?Justice delayed is justice denied, and we need to keep the pressure on until Trump becomes even more of a "panican" about this.No more Kash Patel. No more hiding behind “ongoing investigations.” No more delays. Fire Pam Bondi and whoever else is obstructing the truth.Epstein's victims deserve justice. And if Trump won't deliver it then, again, we will.—https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Check out my Free Worldbuilding and Brainstorming Workshop: https://mightyartisan.com/worldbuilding This will help you refine your ideas for personal projects and build the skills needed to be a successful designer and author!—This is The Fiftieth Episode of the Visual Scholar Podcast - With Tim Mcburnie.Most artists think intent is fine art pretension, but it's actually the secret that transforms technically skilled work into art that connects.Below is in Automagically generated summary so you can check out the content and also to help with search functionality!---Let's explore why artistic intent - often dismissed as "fine art nonsense" by commercial and entertainment artists - is actually the missing element that transforms technical skill into impactful work. The episode examines how the divide between fine art and commercial art education leaves technically proficient artists stuck in the "execution trap," where they can render beautifully but struggle to create work with purpose and direction.The discussion covers the practical reality that most entertainment artists are trained to execute someone else's vision, never learning to be the author of their own work. Tim breaks down how intent functions as both creative direction and decision-making filter, turning random technical ability into purposeful communication. The episode provides concrete methods for setting and using intent in daily art practice, from individual drawing sessions to larger personal projects.Rather than academic theory, this episode focuses on intent as a practical tool for working artists who want their technically solid work to create genuine connection with viewers. Tim argues that intent is what separates craft from art, and explores why many skilled artists unconsciously avoid developing this crucial element of their creative practice.—Chapters00:00:00 Intro00:01:05 Welcome00:02:22 When Technical Skill Isn't Enough00:09:07 The Intent Divide: Why We Avoid What We Need Most00:24:57 Intent Creates Direction: From Technician to Author00:42:54 Practical Intent: How to Actually Use This00:52:02 The Analytical Takeaway00:54:44 The Simple Takeaway00:55:03 The Practical Takeaway00:58:15 The Philosophical Takeaway01:07:51 Out—The Visual Scholar Podcast is designed to help you demystify the world of Art, Productivity, and Creativity.

This week on the BraveCo. Podcast, I'm diving deep into one of the most critical topics in marriage: becoming the anchor. As a pastor, counselor, and man who's walked through my own challenges, I've seen too many relationships fail simply because men have no idea what it means to lead emotionally. We aim for the wrong things—sex, status, success—and miss the real target: building a home where our wives and kids feel safe, seen, and known.I get raw and real about the dangers of emotional unpredictability, the breakdown of leadership in the home, and what happens when men abandon their responsibility. I share personal stories, hard truths, and practical wisdom about how we bring peace to chaos—not by being perfect, but by being consistent, present, and emotionally grounded. Your role as a man isn't to dominate—it's to lead with courage, clarity, and compassion.This episode is for every man who wants more from his marriage. If you're tired of the disconnect, the arguments, or feeling like roommates instead of lovers, it's time to shift your target. You are the anchor. And when you own that role, everything changes.Chapters:00:00 - Why Men Feel Lost in Modern Masculinity00:34 - The Real Target in Marriage (And It's Not Sex)02:12 - Dating vs. Marriage: When the Aim Shifts03:55 - Emotional Safety: The Missing Link in Most Homes06:06 - What Happens in a Home Without Connection09:05 - The Hidden Power of Healthy Conflict11:03 - God's Design for Men: Bring Peace to Chaos14:05 - Why Avoiding Responsibility Breeds Chaos17:13 - Emotional Predictability: The Anchor Your Wife Needs24:00 - Reclaiming Leadership Without Controlling HerABOUT BRAVECOWe live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood. At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.

Today we're talking about what no one else will: The Trump administration has failed to release the Epstein client list — and that's not just a mistake, it's a betrayal. The powerful pedophiles of this world are being shielded, protected, and enabled while children are trafficked and raped.This is what happens when kings fear exposure more than they fear God.We're connecting the dots: Epstein wasn't just a creep with an island — he was part of a global blackmail machine. And it's time we ask why a man with a Jewish surname, operating with international impunity, ended up so close to the Mossad, Israeli intelligence, and foreign interests. Why is Trump suddenly all-in on Israel and Netanyahu? Is it coincidence… or is this the whole game?If Trump is serious about justice, he needs to act like it. No more hiding behind Kash Patel. No more empty speeches while Pam Bondi sits on a “truckload” of Epstein files. Fire them. Release the list. Stand before God and the people, or be counted among the wicked.The blood of the innocent cries out from the ground. And if our so-called leaders won't deliver justice — then we will.—https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

In today's episode, I share the mindset shift that turned frustration into fuel and how a simple mental trick I call the Michael Jordan rule helps me show up when I don't feel like it. I talk about learning to love what I once hated, redefining abundance by receiving fully, and the importance of asking for what you want without guilt or hesitation. I reflect on why marrying my wife was the best decision I ever made, the pride I feel working alongside my daughter, and how giving only works when you allow others to give to you. Abundance is not a finish line. It is a loop.
