0:00 - 2 Nuggets games, 2 Avs games, 4 wins this weekend. A Quadruple Diparoo Winaroo. Right now, the Broncos, Avalanche, and Nuggets are all in (or rapidly approaching) a championship window. Make no mistake. This is the best era of Denver sports, period. No question. Top to bottom, this is the best all-around time to be a Denver sports fan. 15:03 - Chase Daniel and Colin Cowherd are Sean Payton's boys. We know this. It's been well documented. Now, both those guys are starting to publicly doubt/criticize Bo Nix. Hmmm...if we're reading the tea leaves here...did Sean put out the Bat signal to his boys? Tell everyone the Broncos struggles are because of Bo, not his playcalling. The heel turn feels a bit fishy...35:34 - Another Buffs game, another Deion game mismanagement blunder. We seem to get one of these every week. But, Vic isn't worried about it. His biggest takeaway from the game had nothing to do with Deion.

In this episode, I explore the paradox of Artificial Intelligence, not as a hero or a villain, but as a mirror. What's really rising or falling isn't AI itself—it's us, the humans holding the prompt. Together, GPT-5 and I unpack how this technology can awaken creativity or quietly erode it, depending on how consciously we engage with it. Make Sense? What you're about to hear is not just a conversation between man and machine. It's a collaboration between awareness and automation, a real-time experiment in creation itself. Because here's the question that keeps me up at night: What happens when the tools we built to extend human intelligence start to replace the act of thinking itself? This episode isn't about whether AI is good or bad. It's about whether we, as humans, will rise with it—or fall asleep beneath it. So, take a breath. Let's make sense… of the Rise and Fall of AI.

Todo ser humano, em algum momento de sua existência, já precisou lidar com axilas malcheirosas – nem que o cecê viesse de alguém próximo. Nada mais natural, portanto, que as empresas procurassem oferecer maneiras de combater os odores que causam tanto constrangimento mundo afora. Eu acho especialmente curioso que agora os desodorantes – que, na verdade, são antiperspirantes, como você vai aprender neste episódio – prometam ação cada vez mais duradoura. Antes eram 24 horas, daí foi multiplicando e hoje tem produtos que prometem 96 horas de efeito. Hmmm, será?Fui pesquisar sobre isso a partir de uma mensagem enviada pelo ouvinte André Lourenço, de Belo Horizonte, que quis saber mais sobre essa promessa tão difícil de cumprir. ========================APRENDA EM 5 MINUTOS é o podcast sobre coisas que você nem sabia que queria saber.

Can you believe the bean counters at ACC are taking the knife to its funding for Water Safety NZ? Their reasoning is that they've poured all this money into Water Safety NZ but they're not seeing a return on that investment. Which would be a reduction in drowning-related claims. But I'm with Water Safety NZ, which is saying today that good progress has been made, and this funding cut will put everything at risk and make a hard job even harder with $1 million less to do its work. Gavin Walker is its head of partnerships and funding, and he says there have been 54 drownings so far this year – five fewer than the 10-year average. Which, apparently, is not good enough for ACC. But it can quibble as much as it likes about the numbers and the return on investment and all of that, but the fact is water is a huge risk to people's lives. To every one of us. This claim by ACC that it's cutting the water safety funding because it's not getting the return on its investment doesn't stack up when you consider some of the other things it puts money into. ACC also part-funded the doomed “Road to Zero” road safety campaign which, I think we can agree, was hardly a glowing success. I don't recall ACC pulling the plug on that one. But its deputy chief executive of engagement and prevention, Renee Graham, is defending the decision, saying they've been putting $1 million a year into Water Safety NZ but drowning-related claims are costing it $3 million a year. My response to that: so what? The thing about water is that it's accessible to anyone and everyone – you don't need a swimming licence. Which means people can be clueless when it comes to throwing themselves into the water and not always thinking whether they might be overestimating their abilities. I'm probably at the other end of the spectrum because water terrifies me. Even though I've sailed for years —and even though our kids have grown up around water— the potential for things to go drastically wrong in water terrifies me. I suppose “respectful” might be a better word to use than “terrified”, but even though I love getting out on the water, I know it will never be my friend. That was something I always said to the kids when they were young. Water can be fun, but it's not your friend. Which is why I was determined, from the get-go, that they were going to have swimming lessons – but that costs money. We were very fortunate that we could afford it. But, if we'd been in a different financial position, then perhaps the swimming lessons would've been one of the first things to go. Which is what Gavin Walker from Water Safety NZ is saying today. He's saying: “There's a whole lot of kids who are actually missing out on good quality water survival support”. Which is going to get worse with ACC pulling its funding. And that's why ACC needs to have a hmmm moment of its own. “Hmmm…if we pull this funding, who gets harmed?”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's tough to be pregnant on TV! If your supposed loved ones aren't making snarky comments about how big you got to GROW A HUMAN PERSON INSIDE YOU, you're the butt of the "joke" of at least one and maybe several bouts of false labor. Ha ha ha? But not really. Poor Gale. Anyway: the Leery baby is two weeks overdue and it's an issue. When he's not hovering around Gale, however, Dawson has time to hover around Gretchen. Does she want to have sex...now? What about......now? And what does it mean that she's suddenly got an interview for a job in Boston when HE is about to go to college in CALIFORNIA?! Pacey, meanwhile, is out of town, which seems to be making Joey antsy. Is she so codependent or horny that she can't amuse herself for a couple of days while he goes fishing with Doug, or is there, perhaps, another reason she needs to get hold of him rather urgently? HMMM. Jack, it turns out, has hung in with the tutoring program, and in the time he and Tobey have been offscreen, they have apparently forged a comfortable, joshing friendship. But when Tobey suddenly drops off the grid, Jack wonders if it's really because he got mugged. Don't waste time: our episode on "Late" is here right on time! JOIN THE AWT CLUB

Amy M. Pollack - The Still Further Adventures of Jelly Bean. This is episode 793 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast. Amy Meislin Pollack was a teacher for over four decades, raised three children, and loves to play with her seven grandchildren. From her own childhood to the classroom and as a parent and grandparent, she is perfectly positioned to pen her coming-of-age book series.  The Adventures of Jelly Bean, followed by The Further Adventures of Jelly Bean, first came into being when the author's fourth-grade teacher used to ask her to get up in front of the class and tell the stories about this character she would make up as she went along.   Several years later she started writing these stories down, and would work on them periodically in any free time she had during her teaching career and raising her three children.  Now retired from a 40-year career in teaching - spanning a wide range of subjects and grade levels - she has embarked on a lively writing career.  The silver lining of the Covid pandemic for Pollack was that she was more or less forced, after approximately 60 years, to finish her Jelly Bean books.  Her books are about a young girl whose life is always changing and how she adapts to these changes. She tries to work out relationships with her friends, her parents, her older brothers, her uncle. Her parents do not want her best friend, who is of mixed race, to visit. Another friend is anorexic. One brother drops out of school. A grandparent dies.  Pollack earned a BA in English from Goucher College in Baltimore and received her Master's in English from University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education. She was certified as a secondary education and reading specialist for grades K-12 and earned a special education teaching degree from New Jersey City University, allowing her to teach disabled students.  For six years she was a professor of writing, and a teacher in the tutoring center at Montclair State University in NJ.  She lives in central New Jersey with her husband and their dog named Bunny.   Our focus today is Amy's latest book The Still Further Adventures of Jelly Bean. Jelly Bean is an awesome series! Excellent characters! Great stories! Thanks for listening! Thanks for sharing! Before you go... You could help support this podcast by Buying Me A Coffee.

Lindsay Whorton - A New School Leadership Architecture: A Four-Level Framework for Reimagining Roles. This is episode 792 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast. Dr. Lindsay Whorton is proud to be a founding member of The Holdsworth Center. She helped design the Center's programming and has served as president since 2019. Under Lindsay's leadership, Holdsworth has grown from serving seven public school districts through its initial offering – the Holdsworth Partnership – to serving more than 1,900 leaders in 89 public school districts across several programs, all designed to build a bench of stronger superintendents and principals for Texas public schools. Lindsay's story with Holdsworth began in 2015, when Charles Butt, Chairman of H-E-B, tapped her to work with an organizing board designing the center's first programs. At the time, Lindsay was working as a consultant with the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) in Washington D.C. She officially joined The Holdsworth Center team shortly after its launch in January 2017. In her role as managing director of district support, Lindsay helped create and evolve Holdsworth's model for supporting partner districts to develop aspiring leaders, place them in leadership roles and support them as they progress along their leadership journey. Lindsay's dive into education research began in 2009, when she was named a Rhodes Scholar and went on to earn a master's degree in comparative social policy and a doctorate in social policy from Oxford University. During her time at Oxford, Lindsay spent a year at the University of Helsinki, where she was a Fulbright Scholar. She visited schools and classrooms to understand Finland's world-renowned teacher education system. In 2016, Routledge published her book Teachers Unions and Education Reform in Comparative Contexts, which examined the impact of teachers' unions on performance-related pay reform in Finland, Switzerland, Texas and Florida. A native of Independence, Missouri, Lindsay earned a bachelor's degree in secondary education and English from Drake University in Iowa, where she served as a captain of the women's basketball team. Lindsay helped lead the underdog team to a Cinderella finish in 2007 by winning the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament championship and was named the tournament's outstanding player and a First-Team Academic All-American.

Danny Kofke - Where to Spend, Where to Save: A Teacher's Guide to Managing Your Finances. This is episode 791 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast. After being a teacher for 18 years, Danny Kofke stepped out of the classroom to join the Southern Education Retirement Consortium and help change the way teachers and classified staff save for retirement. Danny's love of teaching and personal finance led him to write 6 personal finance books including the recently released Where to Spend, Where to Save: A Teacher's Guide to Managing Your Finances. Danny's everyday approach to handling money has led him to be interviewed on numerous shows including Fox & Friends, The CBS Early Show, CNN's Newsroom, The 700 Club, and The Clark Howard Show.

Today you're going to hear a wonderful tale with lots of little hints and your job is to guess who I am by the end of the story. A mystery narrator? What could be more fun!? At the beginning of every Upside Down Story episode, you get one hint to start with. Today's hint is that the storyteller is an object. That means you're going to be guessing what type of thing I am! Am I a notebook, a spoon, or perhaps a light bulb? Hmmm. Let's start today's story and see how quickly you can guess who The Upside Down Storyteller is!

Mediocrity - Part 4: Not in These Classes. This is episode 788 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast. Mediocrity creeps into being when something should have been done but wasn't. Ignored or the thought that somehow the issue would fix itself or go away allows mediocrity to cement itself to the school or organization. It becomes accepted as how we do things here. A shrug and a comment, "It's just life in our building. You get used to it." The great thing is that not every teacher or administrator is swayed by the trap of "it's ok." There are educators who probably come to mind that are far from mediocre, matter of fact they are incredible examples of what life in classrooms and schools should be like. I have been in public education for 39 years. Over those years I have had the good fortune of working with some amazing educators. (I have previously shared some of the memories of the ones who weren't good.) Now it is time to share some thoughts about a few of the educators I have had the good fortune of calling teammates or supervisors. I learned and experienced much over the years. I always wanted to be surrounded by colleagues who didn't try to be mediocre. I wanted to work with those peers who wanted to make a difference and spent the time and energy on trying to do just that. In this episode I share some stories about amazing educators who I worked with. They were educators who understood that to make a difference you had to know what you were trying to accomplish. They knew that you had to be purposeful about what you needed to do. They figured out that to make a difference you had to commit to the time it required, make plans, collaborate with others, and be prepared to fail and learn from the failure. There was not mediocrity their classes. So much to think about! Thanks for listening! Thanks for sharing! Before you go... You could help support this podcast by Buying Me A Coffee.

Things We Love About FallSwitching to your cozy wardrobeSnuggling under a blanket after a long dayCrunchy leaves underfootThe sound of rain while you're insideClosing the curtains early and settling in for the nightThe golden hour light hitting the treesDrinking hot chocolate with whipped creamGoing for a walk that ends at a cafeLighting seasonal candlesGetting into bed early “just because it's dark”The Common '90s Behaviors That Seem Inappropriate Today"Showing up at someone's house unannounced. As a kid, I would just knock on my friend's door and ask them to come play — no warning. If someone showed up at my door unannounced now, I would take it as a sign of deep disrespect, because why would you not call first? I could be busy.""I started babysitting other people's kids at age 10. All babies through toddlers. No one thought anything of it. I couldn't imagine hiring a 10-year-old to babysit my baby and toddler while I went out to dinner and a movie. Seems wild.""If we were just getting a couple of things from a store, my mom would send me in by myself or let me stay in the car alone. I was 8 or 9 when she first let me. An 8-year-old shopping by themselves would raise a lot of suspicion nowadays.""How about when shows cranked out 20+ episode-long seasons every 6 months, rather than 8–10 episodes every 2–3 years?""Toilet papering your friend's house was a typical tween slumber party. Now, it's a felony.""Getting a ride from someone who knew your parents, but you didn't know the person.""Speed-dial and status assigned by which button your name was on. It was such a massive convenience to be able to just hit one button and call someone."Unintentional InsultsOver the weekend, someone complimented my hair color. I mentioned I was transitioning from red to blonde. She immediately responded, "You don't have the skin tone for blonde." Hmmm, well, I have been blonde before and I am not really worried what she thinks. This happened to Marcus. He has cerebral palsy. His grandmother once said, "You've done quite well, despite your affliction." What was your unintentional insult moment?Second Date UpdateCarter says his beach picnic with Jenna in San Gregorio (south of Half Moon Bay) is romantic and effortless. He packs a blanket, fresh sandwiches, and a bottle of rosé. They walk the sand at sunset, and he swears it feels like something real. She ghosts, and he wants to know why.

Mediocrity: Could I Have Done More? This is episode 787 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.  Mediocrity creeps into being when something should have been done but wasn't. Ignored or the thought that somehow the issue would fix itself or go away allows mediocrity to cement itself to the school or organization. It becomes accepted as how we do things here. A shrug and a comment, "It's just life in our building. You get used to it."  What is going on in your building where mediocrity has been able to foment? In this episode I share some specific examples of mediocrity that was allowed to be the norm, the status quo, the way they did things in a few schools. Was there someone there asking - "Could I have done more?" Could I have done something to set the organization on the correct path and pushed the accepted meh practices out? Could I have replaced the bad practices with something better that focused the school on working together?  Hope that while you listen that you think about what accepted aspects of your work environment should be identified as a waste of time, eliminated, and replaced with practices that encourage collaboration and assist with accomplishing the mission of the organization, building, or school.

Mediocrity: Settling for OK. This is episode 786 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.  Mediocrity can find its place in your building by you not paying attention to what is going on in your setting. It can manifest by allowing things to go unaddressed. There are challenges in our schools where situations can arise that are going to take time and require our full attention. Unfortunately, that time commitment can cause some to ignore and move on. In other words, the leader puts a blind fold to his eyes and covers his ears and says, "I see nothing, I hear nothing." By doing this the climate will be adequate. It will be just ok. Mediocrity will settle in for a long time. So much to think about! Thanks for listening! Thanks for sharing! Before you go...

We live in a culture obsessed with treating symptoms, weight gain, fatigue, high blood pressure, brain fog, poor sleep, as if each were an isolated problem. But what if these struggles aren't the problem at all? What if they're just the flashing check engine lights on the dashboard of your body, pointing to a deeper issue that's been hiding in plain sight: Metabolic Disease. In this episode, Dr. JC Doornick pulls back the curtain on why nearly every chronic health crisis in America today — from obesity and Type 2 diabetes to heart disease, hypertension, and even dementia — can be traced back to metabolic dysfunction. He explains how the healthcare industry profits from keeping us stuck in a never-ending cycle of pills, injections, and quick fixes, rather than empowering us to address the root cause upstream. You'll also learn about Metabolic Synchronization — a practical, upstream approach that helps realign the body and mind through five key foundations: Proper diet & nutrition Proper movement & muscle development Proper sleep Proper education & mental detox Proper community & support This episode is a wake-up call: the lights are flashing, and the choice is yours. Will you keep patching symptoms downstream, or will you finally pop the hood and reclaim control of your health, your mind, and your future?

Today you're going to hear a wonderful tale with lots of little hints and your job is to guess who I am by the end of the story. A mystery narrator? What could be more fun!? Today's hint is that the storyteller is an object. That means you're going to be guessing what kind of thing I am! Am I an apple, a pom pom, or perhaps a wet wipe? Hmmm.

All Gravy Lord Manny Hayes aka Thirst Trapper Jones

SEASON 4 EPISODE 13: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN Fraud News Channel morning anchor Brian Kilmeade "apologizes" FOUR DAYS LATER for saying America’s 771,000 homeless (that'd include 33,000 Homeless Veterans and 140,000 Homeless Kids should be killed. By “involuntary lethal injection. Or something. Just kill them.” His co-host Lawrence Jones agreed with him. Fox did nothing about it. They planned to get away with it, and would have, but for Media Matters saving the original clip from last Wednesday and Aaron Rupar re-posting it Saturday morning. I had seen the clip and thought it was fake. It's that bad. And finally Sunday Kilmeade issued a wallet-felt apology. We are in such a place in this country – thanks to Trump, thanks to MAGA, thanks to the late Charlie Kirk, thanks to the Tea Party, thanks to Bush, thanks to… the list continues backwards almost indefinitely and infinitely – that this horrific vision, which in its essence is mass murder of the homeless (the most widely accepted high-end estimate of homelessness in this country is 771-thousand) – and no Kilmeade didn’t say let’s submit 771-thousand people to quote “involuntary lethal injection” – he didn’t have to. Is 771 people somehow less horrific? 77? What’s your threshold to be enraged at the prospect of simply pulling SOME homeless people off the street and lethally injecting them? Seven? One? We know what you are Kilmeade. We are just arguing about the price...to be spent on lethal injections. Fire him now. SHOCK: TRUMP HELPS PUTIN AGAIN as he escalates his attempt to rebuild the Soviet Union. Now it's test drones at the Poland border (again) and the Romanian border (new). Waiting to see if Trump blinked. He blinked so much he could've been sending Morse Code. St. CHARLIE OF KIRK: So, as Andrew Lawrence of Media Matters summarized it: Kirk "was a champion of free speech and if you disagree youre under arrest” The Trojan Horse phony bi-partisan governor of Utah is now down to insisting the family says the shooter had been indoctrinated with left wing ideology. What kind of left wing ideology? That he said he was "not a fan" of Kirk. Funny, the most venomous, most threatening criticism of Kirk in the last 60 days was Nick Fuentes saying Kirk could no longer call himself a Christian and his college events should be interrupted and he should be shouted down, and Laura Loomer insist Kirk "stabs Trump in the back." Hmmm. If harsh words killed Charlie Kirk, is that leftist ideology Fuentes and Loomer were spouting, or right wing guilt? B-Block (37:04) MORE ON CHARLIE KIRK: There are bigger issues in play. It is clear now that there were two different public Charlie Kirks. On the left we saw a slick but rather run-of-the-mill hate monger who mocked Democratic victims of political violence and wanted to see public executions. On the right, they literally never saw those videos. They only saw a "beautiful man, armed only with a bible" preaching family values. How? Different social media feeds. The other big issue with the right's collective mania and desire to punish the left for Kirk's death when it still looks like the far right did as much or more? All of those right wing influencers just assumed God was on their side and was protecting them like he "protected" Trump last year. Oops. C-Block (1:00:20) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: This is the longest all-new episode ever but always time for worsts. Ezra Klein last week? "Charlie Kirk Practiced Politics The Right Way." So, Ezra Klein next week? "Brian Kilmeade Practiced Television The Right Way?" Ken Paxton is screwing around again? Does he have a wandering eye oh right. And when MSNBC fired Matt Dowd for, you know, telling the truth about the death of Kirk, where were Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes, and Lawrence O'Donnell, risking a dollar or two to defend accurate commentary? I mean they whiffed so badly that they made the anchor who was on with Dowd look perfect by contrast: Katy Tur.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

** Tuesday evening, Bob will join our weekly online gathering where we'll listen to the podcast together and discuss. Bring your questions for him. September 9 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. Use this link to register: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/1HA3nd_5QFSFzBe_cGiHpw This is Bob Hockett's 12th visit to Macro N Cheese. Back in 2022, in an episode discussing the collapse of the major crypto exchange platform FTX, Bob gave us a useful rule of thumb: “The irony is that in every one of these cases there is a clue in the name of the product in question that ought to warn you. If it's called a junk bond, there's a reason for that word “junk” being used. And if it's called a subprime mortgage loan... there's a reason for that “subprime” term. Similarly with cryptocurrency or crypto assets, one of the most ironical names ever conceived for this kind of product. If the word “crypto” comes into it, then that's a pretty good tip-off that there's something non-transparent about it, that there's something opaque and occluded and difficult to understand.” Hmmm... today's topic is the GENIUS Act. What meaning should we take from that name? In this episode, Bob and Steve talk about the newly-passed GENIUS Act whose stated purpose is regulation of the stablecoin industry, bringing the shadow banking industry into the light and out of the, um, shadows. The discussion looks at the flawed premise of private stablecoins and the real motives behind the push. Far from preventing instability and fraud, promotion of stablecoin aligns with a libertarian ideology (a la Hayek) that seeks to denationalize currency and privatize money. From a Modern Monetary Theory perspective, the implications are alarming. It merits a discussion of the role of the state. The GENIUS Act is a dangerous distraction. A Trojan Horse. Robert C.

THE NOT SO SPECIAL SESSION IS OVER And Democrats, instead of looking at cutting anything, just raised taxes on businesses instead. And I say that because not a single Republican voted to raise taxes on small business, and every bill brought forth by Republicans was killed on the very first day of the session. So what happened? The Denver Gazette has this wrap up:Five tax bills passed along party-lines in both chambers, offered by the majority Democrats in the House. The measures are designed to raise general fund revenue to cover a portion of the shortfall. The fiscal notes said they could raise as much as $253.2 million. But the rest is now up to Gov. Jared Polis, who will present a spending reduction plan to the Joint Budget Committee on Thursday afternoon that could cover another third of the shortfall. The state's general fund reserve, set at 15% of general fund spending, or $2.33 billion, will cover the last third.Those dollars, however, will have to be recovered in the 2026-27 budget — and, already, the June 2025 revenue forecast showed that budget would start with about $700 million in the red.Hmmm, why, if they "fixed" the issues that were "created" by HR 1 would be we starting the next budget year in the red? Could it be that it ISN'T HR1, it is the massive overspending we've seen since 2019 when Democrats took everything over? Member of the Joint Budget Committee Barb Kirkmeyer joins me at 2:30 to talk about it all. Here is a list of the eleven bills, only one of which got any Republican votes, that were passed by Democrats this year.

Here is a list of the eleven bills, only one of which got any Republican votes, that were passed by Democrats this year.DEMOCRATS CONDEMNED A PRIVATE CITIZEN And in the process impugned the character of House Minority Leader Rose Pugliese. This all goes back to a childish photo taken of a Democrat lawmaker who chose her outfit poorly for the House. The photo was then shared on a Signal chat among GOP lawmakers who made nasty comments about her appearance in the chat. Someone then leaked the photo to someone on X and it became public and typical internet nastiness ensued. The Representative who started the whole kerfuffle had already announced he was leaving the House in September, so when Ryan Armagost heard he was going to be censured for it, he dipped early. But the Democrats can't miss a chance to be drama queens and act like this is beyond the pale in politics so they decided to have a "resolution" saying what a bad, bad man Armagost is and the Republicans were like what? Then Dem leadership said Rose Pugliese was part of the problem even after she showed evidence that she wasn't. If this reads like a middle school soap opera good, that's what it is. I know Rose as a person, and I'm here to tell you she is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. The Dems did her dirty and they know it.

Most of us go through life tuned into the station we were told to listen to—the one filled with survival, proving, and noise. But all along, another signal has been broadcasting, waiting for us to notice. I call it the Omen Frequency. It's the hidden channel of life that speaks through synchronicities—those so-called coincidences, repeating numbers, chance encounters, or inner nudges. But here's the key: synchronicities are just the signs. Omens are what happens when you interpret those signs as meaningful, when you realize they're guiding you. For me, that realization came in the Amazon jungle with plant medicine, when I suddenly saw that what looked like chaos was actually choreography. Life was always speaking—I had just been tuned to the wrong channel. The work now is integration. Learning to stay tuned to that frequency in daily life, with tools like meditation, breathwork, and the Interface Response System. So here's my invitation: this week, notice the synchronicities. Ask yourself, what if this isn't random? What omen might it be pointing me toward? If you want to dive deeper, I've written the full piece on my free Substack. Come check it out, and let's tune in together.   ►Follow Dr. JC Doornick and the Makes Sense Academy: Instagram: / drjcdoornick   Facebook:  / makessensepodcast   YouTube:  / drjcdoornick   MAKES SENSE PODCAST Welcome to the Makes Sense with Dr. JC Doornick Podcast: This podcast covers topics that expand human consciousness and performance.

Sometimes, life writes love stories so unexpected, you couldn't make them up if you tried. Today's guests, Jennie and Bryan Drollinger, know precisely what it means to become lost and then, against all odds, be found.  Years ago, Bryan and Jennie were young, in love, and full of possibility. But like so many couples, life had other plans. At a time where dating was limited to in person communication and catching someone at the right time on a land line, a few simple misses turned into misunderstandings. Bryan followed his path as a devout Mormon, got married, raised a family of seven, and built a successful career. Jenny married and settled into a marriage that blessed her with two beautiful children, yet there was an absence of that loving feeling she once dreamed of. Life brought challenges for both of them, including failed expectations, and the deep struggle of holding it all together, especially when marriage is intertwined with faith, community, and awareness that their lives were being spent more on the worst side, for better or worse.. Then came the unthinkable. Bryan's marriage ended, leaving him in one of the most challenging spaces of his life, financially, emotionally, and spiritually. Simultaneously, as fate would have it, Jenny's marriage was ending as well, facing her own heartbreaks and growing pains. And then, the universe intervened. A random reconnection occurred when Bryan, needing an attorney, found himself seeking a consultation with the firm's paralegal. Her name? Jenny.. Sparks fared, and a realization that both of their winding, messy, painful roads had prepared them for this: a second chance at the love they once shared. Now, through their new podcast A Second Chance on Love, and upcoming book made for a movie, Bryan and Jennie are opening up about their journey, their lessons, and their hope for anyone who's wondering if it's too late to rewrite their love story.
