Podcasts about Holding

In Part 2 with tax attorney Matthew Rappaport, we go deeper into the complexities of 1031 exchanges for real estate partnerships. Matt breaks down the holding-period myth behind drop-and-swaps, why transaction sequencing matters, and how the risks can differ in California and New York. We also explore partnership divisions under Section 708, why special allocations often don't work, the limitations of Section 761(a) elections, and what Rev. Proc. 2002-22 actually means for tenancy-in-common arrangements.

How might economic frustration influence the way people evaluate political candidates? In this episode of PIVOT with Darryl Lyons, Darryl examines a recent McKinsey Institute for Economic Mobility report, In Pursuit of Progress: Americans' Aspirations for Economic Mobility, to explore the financial pressures and lack of economic confidence that can shape how people think about the future and who they choose to support. Using survey data from 30,000 adults, Darryl breaks down four major themes: the common desire for financial security, the cost squeezes people experience at different stages of life, the importance of community, and the role proximity plays in helping people move forward. He discusses rising living costs, health care, child care, housing, retirement savings, and the financial shocks that can make it difficult for families to build stability. Darryl also explores the roles employers, friends, family, churches, and government institutions play in helping people find opportunities. From a Christian worldview, he argues that community and relationships can create practical opportunities for people who are struggling, while employers can help employees build skills and become more valuable in the marketplace. Ultimately, this episode looks beyond politics to ask a more important question: What happens when people feel like they have no financial security, no clear path forward, and little hope for the future? You'll learn: • Why financial security is a priority for so many Americans • How rising costs affect people at different stages of life • Why groceries, health care, child care, and housing are major financial pressure points • What retirement savings reveal about economic mobility in America • Why strong community connections can influence people's sense of control and momentum • How employers can help employees improve their skills and financial opportunities • How economic frustration may influence political choices This episode is for anyone interested in financial planning, economic mobility, personal finance, leadership, community, and the forces that influence how people think about their financial future and political choices.

Carrying Everyone Else's Feelings? — Guided Meditation for the Quietly Exhausted | Physiological Sigh Breathing If you're always the one who copes — the reliable one, the one who checks on everyone else and never gets asked back — this guided meditation is for you. For the next ten minutes you don't have to hold anything together. We'll use the physiological sigh, a simple two-inhale, one-long-exhale breathing pattern, to ease the body down a gear, then a gentle visualisation for setting down the things you've been carrying that were never really yours.When it all gets too much before or after this session, Anchored's Instant Calm is free, offline, and always there: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669 Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, today's episode leans on a boxes-in-your-arms metaphor — the to-do list, the thing someone said, tomorrow's problems, someone else's feelings you've quietly taken on as your own — and invites you to set just one box down at a time. You are allowed to rest before everything is finished. ⏱️ Time Chapters* 00:00 – Welcome: when you're always the one who copes* 00:52 – Anchored's Instant Calm* 01:19 – Breathing: the physiological sigh* 02:37 – Visualisation: the boxes you're carrying* 04:16 – A different sentence: "I can put some of this down"* 04:49 – Today's Gentle Affirmations* 07:46 – Three Daily Caring Tips* 08:32 – Coming back, stretch and open your eyes* 09:10 – A personal reflection: speaking to yourself with kindness* 10:16 – Outro & be kind 

What do you do when you’re grieving, but no one has died? Maybe it’s the loss of a marriage, a relationship, a dream for your child, your health, or simply the life you thought you’d have. In this conversation with therapist, speaker, and author Nicole Langman, we talk about how to recognize and process the losses we don’t always call grief. Nicole shares practical ways to stop unhealthy thought spirals, make space for honest emotions, and keep trusting God when life hurts. If you’re carrying a story you never would have chosen, I hope this conversation reminds you that grief and hope can exist at the same time and God is still at work. And that He loves you deeply, no matter how things look right now. This is a conversation you don’t want to miss and you will definitely want to share.

Xo, Donna Key Takeaways: 0:03:14 - Naming Hidden Grief 0:04:38 -What Nicole learned from responses to the death of her marriage versus the death of her mom. 0:11:42 - How to Grieve Losses No One Sees (free advice from a therapist who's been there!) 0:16:09 - Carrying Scars, Not Open Wounds 0:23:09 - Breaking Rumination with Simple Habits What We Talk About Why we can grieve even when no one has died Nicole’s experience with betrayal and the loss of the life she expected Why certain types of grief can feel invisible Divorce, infertility, health crisis, job loss, estrangement, addiction, mental health struggles, disability, prodigal children and other life-altering losses Why comparing or minimizing grief keeps us from healing How to support someone when you don’t know what to say The difference between healthy grieving and unhealthy rumination How grief can become part of our identity Practical ways to interrupt negative thought spirals Why where we put our focus matters Trusting God when we’re hurt by what He allowed Moving from asking “Why?” to asking, “What now?” How grief can become a scar instead of an open wound Holding grief and hope at the same time Nicole’s Practical Path Through Grief Pray honestly. Bring the real hurt to God—even when all you can say is, “God, help.” Name the loss. Ask yourself: What exactly hurts so much? What did I lose? What story did I think I would have? Face it instead of running from it. Grief is messy and rarely linear. Give yourself permission to do the work instead of rushing yourself to “get over it.” Notice your thought patterns. Ask: Does this thinking heal me or hurt me? Help me or harm me? Move me toward God and the person I want to become—or away from them? Interrupt unhealthy rumination. Move your body, engage your senses, listen to worship music, write Scripture, or call a healthy friend who can help redirect your focus. Ask, “What would my future self want me to do right now?” Choose the action that moves you toward healing, even when it isn’t what you feel like doing. Move from “Why?” to “What now?” You may never receive an answer that makes the loss make sense. Instead, ask God how He wants to meet you, grow you, and use your story from here.

We're all holding a lot.Life. Career. Health. Family. Responsibilities. And whenyou're an entrepreneur, there's often an entire business to hold together, too.So how do you keep it all from depending on you?The answer might be systems.In this week's episode of SolFul Connections, I'm talking with Adi Klevit about how creating the right systems and processes can move entrepreneurs out of daily operational chaos and create something we all need more of: freedom.We talk about why systems matter, how to document and optimize what's working, and how creating structure can actually give you more space for creativity, growth, and the life you want to live.And along the way, you'll get to know a little bit about the woman behind the systems and what SolFul Living means to her.Business Success Consulting Group:https://bizsuccesscg.com/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/adiklevit/Systems Simplified Podcast:https://www.bizsuccesscg.com/podcast/Free Process Mapping Session:https://calendly.com/meetwithadi/free-process-mapping-sessionE-book, Stop Carrying Your Business In Your Head:https://bizsuccesscg.com/download-e-book/

My loves, I have some big work updates and honestly, I feel like I'm getting my spark back! After leaving my tech startup and navigating burnout, I needed to work on my own, slow down, and create space to heal. Those boundaries served me so well. But lately, I've been craving something different: collaboration, in-person community, and being part of building things alongside other people. In this solo episode, I'm sharing what that looks like—from becoming Growth Partner at The Hivery to helping my husband Raúl grow Eco Experience, alongside my coaching business and writing my book. And with all this excitement comes a very real question: how do I make room for more while still taking good care of myself? We're talking about:- Finding my way back to the ambitious, excited version of myself- How joining a community opened the door to an unexpected opportunity- Recognizing my personal signs that things are becoming too much- The everyday practices helping me navigate a fuller season- A powerful question: “What is your business asking of you?” I don't have it all figured out. This is an honest glimpse into a season of growth, recalibration, and learning to trust myself as things change. If you're feeling ready for more but wondering how to do it differently this time, this one is for you! And if there's something you'd love to hear more of on the podcast, send me a DM. I'd love to know.

It's Tuesday, September 1st, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Russia shot down 239 Ukrainian drones The Russian-Ukrainian War is not relenting. Russia fired almost 1,500 drones into Ukraine over the last four days. Meanwhile, Russia reportedly shot down 239 Ukrainian drones over Russian territory over the last day. Both countries are targeting food distribution and energy infrastructure over a long and drawn out conflict. Russian President Vladimir Putin is also preparing to send another large conscription to the battlefront, reports The Economist. Russia considers nuclear weapons against Ukraine A leader of the Russian legislature and the country's nationalist party, Alexis Zhuvraflev, announced on Sunday that the use of nuclear weapons in the war is now under consideration. In his words, “If necessary, we are obliged to use [tactical nuclear weapons]. ... If we need to strike, we will strike.” Russian President Putin appears increasingly frustrated with the progress of the war. A source informed The Economist that Putin is afraid “they will hang me” if war objectives are not accomplished. For greater context, the Kyiv Post quoted U.S. CIA Director John Ratcliffe as saying the life expectancy of a Russian soldier on the front line was “less than 35 minutes.” He added that Moscow had captured only 1% of Ukraine's total territory during the previous 18 months. How Chinese manufacturing and trade surplus is a military advantage China's manufacturing productive capacity is on the increase — all told, about double that of the United States.   In 2025, China made 960.8 million metric tons of crude steel versus only 82 million tons in the United States. China produces three times the number of automobiles compared to the U.S. And China's machine-tool production is six-fold that of the United States. China's trade surplus is hitting $1 trillion this year while America's trade deficit is going the other direction — now an annual rate of $900 billion.  Indeed, China's enormous manufacturing base becomes one of its greatest military strategic advantages. Politician in Alberta, Canada upset about tariff war with America Alberta, Canada Premier Danielle Smith shared her thoughts on the ongoing trade war between Canada and the United States. Listen. SMITH: “Tariffs and counter-tariffs are harmful to both countries involved. They disrupt businesses, threaten jobs, drive up inflation, decrease productivity, and strain relationships between allies. “What is happening between Canada and the United States right now is tragic, unjustified, and wholly unnecessary to what has been one of the largest and most successful trading relationships in world history.” Smith went on to push back against suggested oil tariffs against the United States. SMITH: “I cannot think of a more disastrous policy decision than cutting off or taxing Alberta's oil to the United States. Doing so would absolutely devastate the Canadian economy. It would not only extinguish the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of Albertans, it would economically hobble our friends and neighbors in other provinces to the east.” Flash flood in Nepal killed 955; 4,471 people are missing The death toll from flash flooding in Nepal has reached 955, with another 4,471 people missing as of today, reports the French News Agency. (We have a link to the eye-opening video from CBS Evening News in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com) This flash flood has shaped up to be the worst disaster in Nepal since the earthquake of 2015 which killed around 9,000 people. It may also be the worst flash flood disaster in recorded history — topping the Peruvian glacial lake outburst of 1941.  American economy is lagging America's golden age hasn't quite arrived yet.   The U.S. economy is lagging — registering the lowest economic output since 2020, and then again back in 2009. The latest reading on the Gross Domestic Product from the second quarter puts annual output at 1.47%.  Removing the contributions from Artificial Intelligence, the annual output is an anemic 0.9%. Economists have pointed out that the bang for the buck from federal deficits is not working like it used to work. In the 1990s, the Keynesian approach yielded 3.1% growth with 2.1% deficits. During the 2000s, this decreased to 1.9% growth with 2.3% deficits. During the 2010s, this decreased to only 2.4% growth with 4.8% deficits. And, over the last five years, only 2.4% growth with 8% deficits. Over the last three decades, the United States has moved from periods of strong economic growth with little or no federal deficit to historically large peacetime deficits accompanying substantially slower economic growth. Deuteronomy 15:5b-6 repels this debt in these words: “Carefully obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe with care all these commandments which I command you today.  For the Lord your God will bless you just as He promised you; you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; you shall reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over you.” New Jersey bans prayer and protests at abortion mills New Jersey Democratic Governor Rebecca Sherrill has signed a bill into law which would ban prayer and protests outside of abortion mills. The law specifically prevents an individual from attempting to “injure, threaten, intimidate, or physically block patients or providers…to interfere with reproductive healthcare services.” Shawn Carney, CEO of 40 Days for Life, argued, “Prayer is not a crime. Holding a sign is not intimidation. Offering a woman help is not coercion. This law is designed to scare people of faith off the sidewalks outside abortion facilities by creating the constant threat of prosecution and costly lawsuits.”  Proverbs 31:8-9 exhorts all of us to “Open your mouth for the speechless, in the cause of all who are appointed to die. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.” Sent a polite, 3-sentence note to New Jersey Democratic Governor Rebecca Sherrill objecting to her decision to ban prayer and peaceful protests outside abortion mills.  Send it to: PO Box 001, Trenton, NJ 08625. 11,000 Americans infected by lettuce parasite That cyclosporiasis outbreak, attributed to Taylor Farms de Mexico, has now infected over 11,000 Americans across 20 states, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.   Fox Business reports a 30% decrease in lettuce sales across the country. The culprit is a single-celled parasite that produces stomach cramps, nausea, and fatigue. Texas looks to end no-fault divorce The state of Texas is looking to end no-fault divorce.  In its legislative priorities for 2026-2028, the Texas GOP State Convention lists protecting kids as a major priority, specifically mentioning the promotion of marriage, parental rights, the end of homosexual adoptions, and the end of no-fault divorce. The document further explained, “When a marriage breaks down, family law proceedings should respect 50/50 equal parenting presumptions in the best interest of children.”  Other priorities for the Texas GOP include border security, banning taxpayer-funded lobbying, and equal protection for the unborn.  New NASA telescope 100 times more powerful than Hubble telescope And finally, on Sunday, August 30th at 7:26am Eastern Time, NASA launched a rocket to place the next generation telescope into our Solar System from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Nancy Grace Roman telescope, named after NASA's first chief of astronomy Nancy Grace Roman, is 100 times more powerful than both the James Webb telescope and the Hubble space telescope. It will take about 100 days to reach its destination — about one million miles from Earth. That's equal to the distance of orbiting the Earth's circumference of 24,900 miles 40 times over. To quote Dr. Emmett Lathrop Brown from the 1985 Back to the Future movie, portrayed by Christopher Lloyd: BROWN: “Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads!” (sound effect of the modified DeLorean DMC-12 time machine taking off) Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, September 1st, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Every conversation about a sexless marriage gets pointed at the woman. Low desire, hormones, resentment, the mental load, she's the one who's supposed to explain herself. Nobody asks what happens on the other side of the bed, and today I sat down with men's coach Mike Elliott to find out.Mike works with high-performing men who look successful on paper and feel quietly disconnected underneath. In this conversation we get into why she rejects him and he assumes she doesn't want sex anymore, when the real story is closer to this: she doesn't feel seen, and her body has been scanning for safety the whole time. We talk about the difference between yang sex and yin sex, the exact instruction Mike gives every man he coaches (slow down, three times), and why a man who can't hold his own feelings can't hold hers either.Mike also gets personal. He tells me about the night in Whistler when he lost his erection with his own partner and spiraled into a shame he'd been avoiding his whole adult life, and what happened when she refused to let him run from it. If you have ever gone quiet in your own marriage, present in the house and absent in the relationship, this conversation names exactly what's happening in his body and gives you language for it. Part two is coming, so stay close.Join the waitlist for my upcoming coaching program for midlife men HERE.

In Season Two, Kent Weaver, one of the most experienced operators and investors in the search ecosystem, joined Rick and Royce for a wide ranging conversation about entrepreneurship through acquisition. In this episode, they focus on the rise of long-term holding companies, vehicles designed to acquire and build multiple businesses over an extended time horizon. The conversation explores why some entrepreneurs are choosing to build companies over decades rather than pursue a single acquisition and exit, what makes a successful HoldCo CEO, and how disciplined acquisition strategies and operational playbooks can create long-term value. They also examine how long-term HoldCos differ from private equity and whether this emerging model represents a new chapter in the evolution of entrepreneurship through acquisition.

It's Delivered... Did Ya Get It? You Holding On to It? Hebrews 10:21–39 calls every believer to draw near to God, hold fast the profession of our faith, encourage one another, and keep going even when the road becomes difficult. Christ has already done the delivering. The promises have been given. The way has been opened. The question is: It's Delivered. Did Ya Get It? You Holding On to It? Join Pastor Ed Decker as he opens God's Word and challenges us to keep our confidence, hold fast, and refuse to turn back. Scripture: Hebrews 10:21–39 (KJV) Key Verse: "But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul." — Hebrews 10:39 #Hebrews10 #PastorEdDecker #Sermon #KJV #Faith #HoldFast #ChristianSermon

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Katelyn Rhoades. Shared how she transformed a $750-per-month social media side hustle into a seven-figure business. As a visibility strategist and founder of Influence Marketing Studio, she explained how entrepreneurs can leverage social media, personal branding, and consistent content creation to build audiences, create opportunities, and generate revenue. Her story demonstrates that location, background, and resources are no longer major barriers to success when visibility and digital platforms are used strategically. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Show how social media can be used to create business opportunities. Teach entrepreneurs the importance of visibility and personal branding. Demonstrate how a side hustle can become a scalable business. Help listeners understand the fundamentals of social media marketing. Inspire people to overcome fear and take action on their business ideas. Explain how content creation can lead to multiple streams of income. Key Takeaways 1. Visibility Creates Opportunity Katelyn's central message is that people cannot buy from, hire, or recommend someone they do not know exists. By consistently showing up online and sharing expertise, entrepreneurs can attract clients, partnerships, media opportunities, and new revenue streams. 2. Start Before You're Ready Katelyn did not begin with a detailed business plan, funding, or a built-in audience. She started by sharing simple social media marketing tips online and learning through action. Her success came from consistent execution rather than waiting for perfect conditions. 3. Social Media Is the Most Accessible Marketing Tool She stressed that platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube provide entrepreneurs with free access to large audiences. People can build businesses simply by sharing valuable knowledge and expertise consistently. 4. Focus on One Platform First Rather than trying to master every social channel simultaneously, Katelyn recommends choosing one platform and becoming exceptionally good at it. This focused approach allows entrepreneurs to learn faster and build authority more quickly. 5. Monetization Begins by Solving Problems As her audience grew, followers began asking her questions about social media growth. Instead of continuing to answer those questions for free, she packaged her expertise into paid consulting services and coaching calls. Her success shows that demand often reveals itself through audience questions. 6. Learn Skills Using Free Resources Katelyn emphasized that modern entrepreneurs have access to unprecedented learning opportunities through: YouTube AI tools Online tutorials Free educational content She believes anyone can acquire valuable skills if they are willing to invest the time. 7. Multiple Revenue Streams Grow Naturally What started as social media management evolved into: Agency services Coaching Content creation Brand partnerships Sponsored content Podcasting Digital products She views business growth as a domino effect where visibility creates additional opportunities. 8. Organic Marketing Still Works Unlike many marketers who rely heavily on paid advertising, Katelyn built her business largely through organic content and relationship-building. Her strategy focuses on: Authenticity Consistency Audience engagement Value-driven content 9. Almost Any Interest Can Become a Business One of her strongest points was that people often dismiss their expertise or hobbies as insignificant. Katelyn believes there is an audience for nearly every niche, provided there is genuine demand and a clear way to help people. 10. Mistakes Are Part of Success Katelyn openly discussed her challenges, including: Navigating a lawsuit related to content usage Learning copyright rules Hiring mistakes Holding on to employees too long She credits those experiences with making her a stronger entrepreneur. Key Themes Entrepreneurship Through Visibility The interview repeatedly underscores the idea that online visibility is no longer optional for entrepreneurs seeking growth. Personal Branding Building a recognizable personal brand can create opportunities that extend far beyond an initial service offering. Action Over Perfection Taking imperfect action consistently is more valuable than waiting for the perfect plan. Audience-Driven Business Creation Successful entrepreneurs listen closely to what their audience is asking for and create solutions accordingly. Notable Quotes On Entrepreneurship "Visibility creates opportunity." On Finding Your Expertise "Is there something that you're passionate about that you know a lot about that you could talk about without getting sick of it?" On Growth "I decided I was going to go all in on that channel and just become the expert." On Learning "If there's a certain skill you want to learn, you need to go learn it. It's free. It's at your fingertips." On Consistency "If you want something bad enough, it can't be easy." On Overcoming Fear "My drive and my heart was so much bigger than that fear." On Visibility "Show up on social media." On Business Ideas "Listen to your audience." On Content Creation "You can monetize any hobby that you have." On Entrepreneurship "I honestly think you can monetize any hobby that you have." On Hiring "Hire slow, fire fast." On Leadership "When you know something's off, stop trying to make it work and just do the hard thing." Success Highlights Grew a $750-per-month side hustle into a seven-figure business. Built Influence Marketing Studio into a successful agency. Grew a substantial social media following through organic content. Secured major brand partnerships. Earned media recognition, including features in major publications. Developed multiple income streams through visibility and personal branding. Bottom Line Katelyn Rhoades' interview is a blueprint for building a modern business through visibility, content creation, and personal branding. Her journey proves that entrepreneurs do not need large budgets, major connections, or a big-city location to succeed. By consistently sharing expertise, listening to audience needs, and embracing opportunities, individuals can transform knowledge and passion into profitable businesses and long-term wealth. #SHMS #STRAW #BEST Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

Where Has All My Energy Gone? — High-Functioning Anxiety & Exhaustion Relief | Guided Meditation If you've ever collapsed onto the edge of the bed at the end of a perfectly "fine" day and thought, "where has all my energy gone? I didn't even do anything today," this episode is for you. Calming Anxiety sits with the exhaustion of high-functioning anxiety, the quiet cost of holding everything together while everyone else sees someone coping just fine. We slow the body first with the extended exhale, four counts in and eight counts out, gently unwinding the shallow, high-chest breathing that builds up during a long day of performing calm, the same kind of over-breathing Martin worked with often on ambulance call-outs as a paramedic.For daily support beyond this episode, download Anchored on iOS, with Android arriving in a couple of weeks.

Title: Living by Faith: Holding Fast Until the End Description: In this broadcast message presented by For Zion's Sake, hosts Shelley and June Volk conclude their week-long study of Hebrews 3:1–6, focusing on verse 6. They explore the core call for believers to "hold fast" to their confidence and hope in Jesus Messiah amid life's trials and cultural challenges. Highlighting believers as "living stones" forming the house of God built upon Christ as the cornerstone, the hosts unpack key biblical passages on endurance, perseverance, and maintaining a heavenly perspective. Key Takeaways: Holding Fast: Derived from Greek nuances meaning to seize upon, possess, keep in memory, and never forget who believers are in God's eyes. The Living House of God: Believers are identified as the sanctuary and house of God, with Christ as the cornerstone who holds the spiritual house together. Perseverance and Endurance: Believers are called to persist through trials, counter-influences, and discouragement, keeping their eyes fixed on Jesus as the author and perfecter of faith. Unity and Heritage: The broadcast underscores the vision of Jew and Gentile coming together in faith, concluding with the recitation of the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4). Featured Bible Passages: Hebrews 3:1–6 – Jesus as the divine Builder and faithful Son over God's house. Hebrews 12:1–2 – Running the race with endurance and fixing eyes on Jesus. James 1:2–4, 12 – Persevering under trials to produce spiritual maturity. Hebrews 10:35–39 – Holding fast to confidence and living by faith without shrinking back. 1 Peter 1:13 – Girding the mind and fixing hope completely on the grace of Christ.

Episode 5620: META Settles Yet Still Steals From Americans; Holding Canada Responsible

What if one of the most powerful tools for improving your cardiovascular resilience was already built into your body—and completely free? In this science-forward solo episode, Darin dives into the fascinating physiology of breath holding and the mammalian dive response, an ancient survival mechanism humans share with seals, whales, and dolphins. Simply holding your breath triggers an extraordinary cascade inside the body: your heart rate slows, blood vessels constrict to preserve oxygen for vital organs, and your spleen contracts to release oxygen-rich red blood cells into circulation. Darin explores research on elite freedivers, Southeast Asian sea nomads, cardiac hypoxic resistance, and the remarkable ways the human body can adapt to repeated breath-hold training. But he also separates the evidence from the hype, explaining why breath holding alone isn't a miracle intervention and why some of the most promising benefits appear when hypoxic stress is combined with movement and resistance exercise. This episode is a reminder that some of the most extraordinary tools for improving human performance aren't expensive supplements or complicated technologies—they're capacities your body has possessed all along. What You'll Learn What happens inside your body the moment you hold your breath How the mammalian dive response slows your heart rate and redirects blood flow Why your spleen acts like a biological reservoir for oxygen-rich red blood cells How humans share this ancient survival mechanism with marine mammals Why Southeast Asian sea nomads developed remarkable adaptations for freediving How breath-hold training can amplify the body's natural dive response What researchers discovered when elite divers reached extraordinarily low blood oxygen levels How repeated training may create greater hypoxic resilience in the heart Why the long-term benefits of breath-hold training in everyday people are still being studied Why combining hypoxic stress with movement may be more powerful than breath holding alone Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:34 – Sponsor: Alkemis 00:03:26 – The incredible thing happening when you hold your breath 00:03:57 – The ancient survival program you share with dolphins and whales 00:04:31 – The hidden cardiovascular tool almost nobody trains 00:05:03 – A free physiological capacity already built into your body 00:05:38 – What the science actually says about breath-hold training 00:06:09 – Understanding the mammalian dive response 00:06:37 – Your heart, blood vessels, and spleen react within seconds 00:07:11 – Your spleen is a biological oxygen reservoir 00:08:05 – Sponsor: Manna Vitality 00:09:59 – Why cold water amplifies the dive response 00:10:07 – The extraordinary physiology of Southeast Asian sea nomads 00:10:39 – Humans performing underwater like marine mammals 00:11:14 – The mammalian dive response is trainable 00:11:54 – What happened when elite divers reached extremely low blood oxygen 00:12:30 – How the heart adapts during extreme breath holds 00:13:08 – Cardiac hypoxic resistance and a stronger trained heart 00:13:55 – The important limitations of the current research 00:14:41 – Why breath holding alone isn't a miracle 00:15:09 – Combining hypoxic stress with resistance exercise 00:15:42 – Breath holding as a multiplier, not a replacement 00:16:33 – Practical takeaways for training the dive response 00:17:48 – Final thoughts and closing Thank You to Our Sponsors Alkemis: Go to https://alkemispaint.com/ and use code DARIN10 for 10% off your order.

Breath holding can trigger measurable changes in heart rate, blood flow, oxygen availability, and the body's response to hypoxic stress—and with training, that response appears capable of adapting. The goal isn't to treat breath holding like a miracle hack. It's to recognize it as another powerful physiological tool that may become even more effective when intelligently combined with movement and training.

What is MrBeast Burger? Well, it's the burger chain started by the most popular YouTuber on the planet. But, actually, is it? Or was it started by a shadowy restaurant organization run by the same guy who owns Bucca De Beppo, who secretly operated it for MrBeast behind the scenes, and then when he wanted to shut the whole thing down because the food was really bad, this shadowy organization basically took ownership of his name and likeness and is still holding it hostage to this day?--BACK OUR PATREON!https://bit.ly/deepcutspatreon--CHECK OUT OUR NEW YOUTUBE CHANNEL!https://bit.ly/mysterytreehouse--Join our Discord server!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/deepcutsdiscord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠--Pick up some Deep Cuts T-Shirts and other merch!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/deepcutsmerch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Most lawyers are taught how to practice law, not how to lead people. Then one day, they are handed a team and expected to figure it out. In episode 633 of the Lawyerist Podcast, Stephanie Everett talks with Debbie Foster about leading people, the second cornerstone from their book, Be a Next Level Leader.  Debbie and Stephanie break people's leadership into four essential responsibilities: building trust, developing others, communicating clearly, and holding standards. They explain why trust grows through small, human interactions, why leaders often overload their most dependable employees, and how delegation can become a tool for development instead of a way to clear your own plate.  They also explore why teams cannot meet expectations that were never clearly communicated, how positive and constructive feedback help people grow, and why “no news is good news” is not a leadership strategy.  If you want to build a team that can take greater ownership, perform at a higher level, and succeed without relying on one overburdened A player, this episode offers a practical place to start.  Listen to our previous episodes on Law Firm Leadership, Delegation, and Building Stronger Teams.  #632: Law Firm Leadership: How to Lead Yourself Before Leading Your Team, with Debbie Foster & Stephanie Everett Apple | Spotify | LTN  #631: Tune In Before You Jump In: A Better Way to Delegate, with Shawn Vanderhoven Apple | Spotify | LTN  #616: From Solo to CEO: Letting Go of Legal Work to Grow Your Firm, with Ellen Williamson Apple | Spotify | LTN  #615: How to Stop Being the Bottleneck and Build Stronger Teams, with Debbie Foster and Stephanie Everett Apple | Spotify | LTN    Have thoughts about today's episode?

In the final hour, Gabe Ramirez and Ruthie Polinsky were joined by Chicago Sports Network host Chuck Garfien to discuss the White Sox's 10-4 win over the Rangers on Wednesday and their 2.5-game lead in the AL Central. After that, Ramirez solicited advice for his new role of coaching youth soccer.

Send us Fan MailJosh's beach trip unspools into a raw exploration of vulnerability: rented ‘the Hulk' longboard, giant sets, and an ego-driven decision to paddle out lead to a humbling wipeout and later a stingray puncture that leaves him in intense pain. Josh & Jeremy use the episode to unpack how unmet expectations make us miss the good parts of life—like surfing with a daughter—and expose selfishness. They talk practical reflections: coach yourself through disappointment, reframe outcomes, hold wins and losses loosely, and lean into the lesson instead of letting a single moment define your worth.   Retreat infohttps://www.thewildcourage.org/events/wild-courage-spring-2026-retreat-zazz8Support the show

Feeling like you're “doing all the right networking” but not seeing any real business come in? In this episode, Laurin breaks down how lawyers can move beyond just showing up, get specific about referral sources, and turn the pressure of business development into a true competitive advantage.   In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Laurin Johnson discuss: Reframing pressure as a privilege in a legal career Laurin's path from tax/estate attorney to operations consultant Why most lawyers struggle with networking and referrals How to choose the right networking groups and evaluate them Being a true “giver” beyond just making referrals   Key Takeaways: Pressure at work often signals that you care deeply and are in a position of impact, and can be reframed as a privilege rather than a burden. Law is a business, and building a book of business requires sales and networking skills that are rarely taught in law school or in traditional mentoring. Vague statements like “anyone” or “any attorney” are a good referral source make it harder for others to help you; specificity is what triggers real introductions. Simply attending networking meetings is not enough—relationship-building happens in one-on-ones, through follow-up, and by consistently adding value to others. Being a giver isn't limited to sending referrals; connecting others, supporting their kids, amplifying them on social media, and showing up for their events can be even more powerful.   "Not all referral sources are created equal." —  Laurin Johnson   Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again.   Join the Be That Lawyer Community and connect with ambitious lawyers who are serious about growing their book of business, strengthening their brand, and becoming confident, consistent rainmakers.   Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

The 146th US Open tennis tournament gets underway at the end of August, so Ryan figured it was a good excuse to see what tennis can teach us about financial planning. Turns out, more than you'd think. Every great tennis player has a game plan, but also the discipline to adjust it mid-match without losing their nerve. That's not a bad description of good financial planning either. Here's what we discuss in this episode:

On this week's episode of The Ultimate Assist, John Stockton and Ken Ruettgers sit down with Pastor Tony Spell, whose refusal to close his church during the COVID pandemic made headlines around the world. Pastor Spell recounts the events that led to multiple arrests, house arrest, criminal charges, and years of legal battles after continuing to hold in-person church services despite government shutdown orders.He explains why he believed closing the church violated his religious convictions, how his congregation grew throughout the pandemic, and what ultimately happened when his case reached the Louisiana Supreme Court.The conversation covers:Why he refused to close his churchHis arrests and house arrestGovernment mandates during COVIDReligious liberty and constitutional rightsFear, courage, and civil disobedienceThe role of churches during times of crisisWhy he believes Americans must remain vigilant in protecting freedomWhether you agree with his conclusions or not, Pastor Spell offers a firsthand account of one of the most controversial church-state conflicts of the COVID era.

You forgive fast, or you burn slow. Jon Gordon might be setting the record for most appearances on this show at this point, and there's a reason for that. He's one of my closest friends, someone I call when I need real advice, and honestly one of only two people left where I still ask myself "what would John do" before I make a big decision, especially now that my dad is gone. When someone like that comes back on the show, you pay attention. His new book, The Power of Positive Habits, might be the most tactical thing he's ever written. Ninety-three habits, pulled from nearly two decades of working with the best coaches and leaders in sports and business. Out of everything we covered, one story stopped me cold. Jon shared the moment he finally forgave his biological father, a man who wasn't there for his wedding, who abandoned him when he was a year old. "Holding onto resentment", he told me, "is like gripping a hot coal meant for someone else. You're the one who ends up burned." He wishes he had forgiven faster. So do I, on my own stuff. That's why we're calling this one Forgive Fast. Here's what you'll gain from this episode: Forgive Fast: Why holding onto resentment, bitterness, or an old grudge is quietly costing you more than the person who wronged you. The Thank You Walk: The daily gratitude practice that shifted Jon's mindset, saved his marriage, and became the source of nearly every book idea he's ever had. Write Your Purpose Statement: Why putting your "why" on paper, not just carrying it in your head, is what keeps you from burning out when things get hard. The Four Questions: What elite coaches like Sean McVay and Dave Roberts ask themselves every single day to keep improving instead of coasting on past success. Tune Out Distractions: The sea turtle story Jon shares that will completely change how you think about chasing the wrong lights in your own life. Jon said the sooner you forgive, the sooner you start growing again. Whatever you're still carrying, this episode is your permission to finally put it down.

We are less than two weeks away from the kickoff of the 2026 season, and the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, presented by Strategic Solutions Sanitation, is coming with some fresh analysis.  Travis Justice and former Husker All-American, Dr. Rob Zatechka, dive deep into the defensive side of the ball.  Dr. Rob believes that if the Huskers are going to move beyond six or seven wins in 2026, they'll need to improve significantly on defense. Especially upfront on the defensive line and in their ability to stop the run against Big 10 opponents.  Dr. Rob believes that with a new Defensive Coordinator, new defensive position coaches, and a good mix of returning players and transfers, the pieces are in place. But he's been burned before, and that's why he's taking a wait-and-see approach before he comes to any conclusion on how talented the defense really is.  One of the last remaining records for Husker Football going back to the “Glory Days” is the sellout streak. It currently is at 410 consecutive games, dating back to 1962.  The streak is in serious jeopardy, and the athletic department is selling attractive ticket packages to try to keep it going. Is now the time to let it stop? Sure, the sellout streak is a source of pride, but it has also become something of an eye-roll in the college football world, as TV often shows a stadium far from full when the Huskers are on TV. Holding on to the sellout streak can, and in many ways does, look like desperation when you are giving away tickets or buying them up just to keep it alive.  In the end, the best way to sell out the stadium is to put a good product on the field that fans can be proud of. If we are being honest, Nebraska hasn't done that in over a decade.  Subscribe to the channel, leave a comment, and email us with questions at doctalksports@gmail.com.
