Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-Life Crisis
Chrissy Schubert and her daughter Ady will be attempting a 250-mile section of the Appalachian Trail next year. No big deal, you may think. Think again. Ady is afflicted by profound autism, communicates through writing, and has a heart as big as the trail itself. The adversity that Ady and her family have overcome during her earlier years has strengthened their faith and helped so many others along the way. These links each tell a short story or speak to the way in which Ady is triumphing in life as she faces her teenage years. It is worth checking them all out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Obk0wB7yDuI https://www.youtube.com/@adysbigarmy https://adysbigarmy.org/ https://adyhikes.org/ I used my hike last year on the South West Coast Path in the UK to help raise money for my absolute favorite charity, Parenting Matters, on whose board I've been privileged to serve for over a decade.

Home insurance premiums are rising much faster than homeowner incomes—and climate risk is driving the spike. In today's episode, we dig into new Zillow data showing premiums have jumped 38% nationally since 2019, compared to just a 22% rise in homeowner income. The fastest increases are hitting places like Miami, Sacramento, and Jacksonville, where wind and wildfire risks are high. We explore how these rising costs are squeezing budgets, threatening affordability for first-time buyers, and reshaping housing access in vulnerable markets. Learn more about your ad choices.

Why are mattress prices set to jump $375 overnight? Discover how new tariffs could shake up your business and what retailers can do to stay ahead.In this episode of The FAM Podcast, Mark Kinsley unpacks the jaw-dropping impact of the newly announced 30% tariff on upholstered furniture—on top of already soaring steel and lumber tariffs.

Andrea Samadi revisits her 2019 conversation with neuroleadership pioneer Friederike Fabritius to explore practical neuroscience strategies for better productivity, well-being, and workplace happiness. On this episode, we'll learn: ✔ Why only 20% of people feel passionate about their jobs, and what we can do to change that. ✔ How to use neuroscience to reach peak performance or flow with your work. Neuroscientist and neuroleadership pioneer Friederike Fabritius shows us how three simple ingredients—FUN, FEAR, and FOCUS—can help us find flow and peak performance at work. We'll also explore why men and women often respond differently to stress, how to identify your unique neurosignature, and practical ways to design a workplace (and a life) that helps your brain thrive ✔ Learn the three key ingredients for flow—fun, fear (challenge), and focus—how the stress–performance curve affects apathy and burnout. ✔ Why tailoring roles to individual neurosignatures (dopamine, serotonin, testosterone, estrogen) can unlock peak performance. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. For today's Episode 373, we continue our journey into our mind with the next interview review. Just a reminder-this review series began back with Episode 366[i], where in Part 3 we discovered an important lesson: if we don't like our results—or what we see on the outside—we need to shift our mindset and look within. True change always begins on the inside. We moved onto EP 369[ii] we learned how to Rewire our Brain with Dr. Dawson Church and his Bliss Brain Meditations, and then EP 370[iii] with John Medina's Brain Rules, where we reviewed how important this understanding of neuroscience is, especially connected to education, teaching and learning. Next we went deeper into our mind and brain with EP 371 and 72 where we with clinical professor of psychiatry from UCLA's School of Medicine, Dr. Daniel J Siegel and his Mindsight concept, which is the same idea as Theory of Mind, or seeing the mind in another. All of these episodes are helping us to further sharpen of minds and brains, and connect better with others, for improved productivity and success in our work and personal lives. For today's EP 373, we go back to EP 27[iv], recorded October 2019, with pioneer in neuroleadership, neuroscientist, Friederike Fabritius[v], from Germany. On this episode, we covered her book, The Leading Brain: Neuroscience Hacks to Work Smarter, Better and Happier. Friederike returned again to the podcast, for EP 258[vi] recorded in November 2022 advancing our conversation with her next book, The Brain Friendly Workplace. Both of these interviews covered important tips that I think we should all take into consideration to be happier, and therefore, more productive at work. Going along with our theme-that if we don't like what's going on outside of ourselves, let's dive deeper into understanding how our brain and minds work. Which brings us back to FRIEDERIKE FABRITIUS, MS, is a neuroscientist and pioneer in the field of neuroleadership. She trained at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research and is an alumna of McKinsey & Company (helping organizations to create change). Friederike delivers brain-based leadership programs to Fortune 500 executives and organizations around the globe to transform how they think, innovate, and navigate change. I'm always looking for productivity tips that we can all use, and it's clear that stress in our workplaces is at an all-time high, globally. We know that “2/3 of people report being stressed at work, to the point they can't sleep at night”[vii] and in our first clip, Friederike reports that “only 20% of people feel passionate about their jobs” and that “40% of people never experience FLOW in their jobs.” I think there has to be another way to find balance here. VIDEO 1 Click Here to Watch Let's listen to Friederike's clip on: Why FUN, FEAR, and FOCUS Matter for Flow & Peak Performance “Only 20% of people feel passionate about their jobs. That's insane. And 40% of people never experience FLOW in their jobs. And (she thinks) it can be that simple. That everyone can be happy at their jobs. All you need are three simple things. (Friederike calls them ) FUN, FEAR, and FOCUS. And it has to do with a certain mix of neurochemicals in our brain. When we are having fun at work (not the after work party kind of fun) where you have fun after the work is done. I'm thinking of having fun related to the task at hand. And when we are having fun, our brains release a neurochemical called dopamine. Dopamine is a real brain booster. It makes you think faster. It helps you to do everything a bit speedier and better, and makes us more creative.”

Finally, our player spotlight shines on a USMNT star, the American Dream tearing it up in Europe. We feature his 2025 impact: his scouting report, rookie cards, and how he's paving the way to be on the United States National Team for the 2026 World Cup.

Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-Life Crisis
This week, we have a little change of pace. I attended the Woods Hole weekend last week as a presenter, and I came away with friendships, more knowledge, and a decent amount of humble pie as I savored the experience. My Dana came with me and experienced a little of what I experience on trail. She hiked into our campsite at Dismal Falls, then camped for her first ever night in a tent in the woods, before hiking back out the following morning. Our sessions at Woods Hole were informative, and we found a bunch of people ready to learn, to share, and to listen. We're all lucky to be part of such a community. Last week was also the culmination of our Mighty BLue Class of 2025, as Beth and Andrew climbed Katahdin after finishing off the 100 Mile Wilderness. We reflected on those last days just yesterday. As you can see below, they took notice of me when I suggested that they should consider their Katahdin “pose” before they reached the brown sign. I used my hike last year on the South West Coast Path in the UK to help raise money for my absolute favorite charity, Parenting Matters, on whose board I've been privileged to serve for over a decade. You can learn more about the hike and the organization–and donate–by visiting Hike with Steve - Empowering Parents, One Step at a Time | Parenting Matters %. I hope you want to support this critical mission. Don't forget.

Welcome to the Find Your Fierce Podcast, where you will discover your fierce, unlock an unstoppable mindset, build unbreakable courage, and completely transform how you show up every single day. I'm your host, Jill Allen, and I'm so glad you're joining me today. In this powerful episode of Find Your Fierce, I'm pulling back the curtain on a cycle so many of us know too well—the one where you start strong, life throws a curveball (or ten), and that familiar inner critic whispers, “See? You can't do this.” If you've ever felt like your body or your hormones are working against you, consider this your permission slip to breathe, believe, and begin again—right where you are. We're talking about more than just willpower or routines. This episode is about breaking free from burnout, rewriting your inner narrative, and creating strength and vitality from the inside out—especially through the lens of perimenopause and beyond. Inside the episode: 01:51 – Why perimenopause isn't about chasing “more”—it's about creating peace, strength, and vitality so you can show up fully for your life and those you impact. 02:41 – You're not stuck. No matter what your past looks like, you can rebuild your health, reclaim your energy, and live with strength and joy. 05:19 – That feeling of being stuck in a loop—ready to change, then life happens. Sound familiar? 07:05 – Sarah's story: navigating perimenopause, trying all the programs, and ending up overwhelmed and doubting herself. 08:54 – The powerful intersection of belief and biology—how your thoughts shape your health, and how to make that science work for you. 13:57 – Foundational “power moves” to support both mindset and biology, starting today. 19:05 – Mindset shifts that silence the inner critic—from “I always fail” to “Every step counts.” 21:53 – Bonus strategies to fuel your body and mind so you can live a fierce, purpose-driven life. Key Takeaway: Staying stuck is a choice. Every time you let that voice win, you're choosing to stay in the loop. But there's hope. Breaking free is also a choice. You can choose to stop treating your life like a checklist that you're failing at. -Jill Allen Stop waiting for your hormones to settle or for the perfect moment to finally show up. Stop believing the lie that you're not capable because here's the truth. You are equipped. You are called and you are worthy of a life that feels alive, not just survived.

The guys put together a Top 10 list of their favorite hikes that don't involve a mountain (although there are lots of honorable mentions and a few mountains that sneak their way in!).
Hans von Spakovsky, Senior Legal Fellow at the Heritage Foundation joins the show to talk about Visa fee hike, Antifa and more.
First, we talk to The Indian Express' Diplomatic Affairs Editor Shubhajit Roy about the H-1B visa and the hike in its fee. Initially it used to fall within the range of 2000-8000 US dollars but now companies will have to pay 100,000 US dollars to get this visa. Shubhajit talks about the reason behind this fee hike and the impact it will have on the India US relationship. Next, we talk to The Indian Express' Mohamed Thaver about how Maharashtra may soon start criminal profiling, similar to what the FBI pioneered in the late 1970s with serial killers like Ted Bundy, as was done by FBI special agent John Douglas. (15:01)Lastly, we talk about a tigress who was responsible for increasing the population of tigers in Chhattisgarh's Achanakmar Tiger Reserve. (23:00)Hosted by Niharika NandaProduced and written by Niharika Nanda and Shashank BhargavaEdited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
The proposed substantial fee hike for H-1B visas could give big tech companies a competitive edge in poaching U.S.-based foreign talent, while smaller businesses might struggle to keep up. John Kaplan believes this could accelerate the shift to global hiring and remote work, potentially benefiting U.S. workers in the short term but having long-term implications for the education system and the U.S. workforce.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-Life Crisis
Glenn Sweitzer, designer and filmmaker, is our guest today. Glenn's fascinating back story takes in working with Disney, designing artwork for Tim McGraw and others, then telling stories through film, before ending up on the Appalachian Trail, discovering and sharing stories along the way. Glenn is a natural raconteur with an eye for detail, and has produced an award-winning Appalachian Trail movie, Trail Mix, that is very evocative of my time out on trail, so there should be plenty for you all to enjoy as he hikes the trail and meets other storytellers along the way. Check out the trailer to Trail Mix here. Local Folk: Trail Mix - Finding Yourself on the Appalachian Trail Glenn has recognized the healing properties of trail hiking and has formed a 501c3 called the Trail Please Foundation, see that clip here. Trails Please Beth and Andrew are within spitting distance of Katahdin, well into the 100 Mile Wilderness, where they met a previous Might Blue Class of member, Bobby Campbell, or Sloggy. Here they are together.

Part 2 of our time in the woods with naturalist Sandy Geffner. This time, Sandy leads Steve and Bill on a “hike”—though with Sandy, the word takes on a different meaning. You might not cover much distance, but you'll travel miles in understanding: exploring ecology and hearing stories of the forest and the wildlife within it. Enjoy!This episode was recorded on July 21, 2025 at JP Nicely Memorial Park in West Falls, NY.Episode Notes and LinksSandy's favorite books: A Sand County Almanac by Aldo Leopold and Finding the Mother Tree by Suzanne Simard. But we feel that we have to call ourselves out here because we've been critical of Simard's work before and maybe we should've brought this up with Sandy during the episode (but we obviously didn't have the stones). For a deep dive into some of the criticisms of Simard's word, check out the In Defense of Plants podcast's series of episodes that starts here. Or this article by three professors who've spent their careers studying forest fungi.
