Dean Karnazes has been called one of the fittest humans on the planet — and he's not slowing down.

We're about to enter a period of opportunity to have a lot of influence over our Members of Congress. They'll be home in their districts/states twice in the next seven weeks for “district work periods” to connect with their constituents. You should expect to be seeing quite a bit of them in late April and then again in late May.  These district work periods represent a significant opportunity for nonprofit leaders to engage substantially with your Members of Congress, and to drive home the absolutely critical messages around the impact that the administration's actions are having right now, at home in the district, in the state, on their constituents' lives.  It's also an opportunity to tell our Members of Congress what we expect to do about that! It's a great time to be communicating with them about both pieces at once. And there's no better place to do that than at home, on the ground, where there's an opportunity for them to see the actual impact for themselves. And we as nonprofit leaders have a key role to play in helping them make that connection.In this episode, we share:Exact timing of the next two district work periods for Congress (House and Senate)The two most valuable strategies for engaging Members of Congress while they're back homeThe three different types of town halls and how to make the best strategic use of each of themSpecific messaging strategies that work best for town hallsHow to get on your Member of Congress' schedule to visit your program while they're homeThe key elements of a high-impact program visitHow design a program visit that deeply engages your Member of Congress As you participate in town halls and bring Members of Congress to your program for high-impact engagement, I would love to hear how that's worked out for you, and what kinds of key messages you were able to drive home using each of those two strategies.  And if you've got a story you're particularly proud of, I'd love to have you on the show so we can amplify that and help other nonprofit leaders see how leaders are leveraging these opportunities to really make a huge impact!Reach out to me on the podcast website or on LinkedIn and share your wins!Links:Episode 31: How to Get Maximum Results from a Decisionmaker's Visit to Your ProgramMoveon.orgIndivisible.org

Have Your Loved Ones Turned Their Backs on God? Do What Élisabeth Leseur Did, National Catholic Register, By Katya Fitzpatrick, May 3, 2023 https://www.ncregister.com/blog/how-to-love-nonbelievers-in-your-homeThe conversation begins with a reflection on an article from the National Catholic Register about the story of Felix and Elizabeth Lassier, emphasizing sacrificial love and divine providence. The narrative is critiqued for its predictable trope of a devout woman and a skeptical man whose conversion comes after her death, portraying her suffering and prayers as transformative. The discussion shifts to the article's placement on a Catholic website and its tone of victimization despite promoting acceptance.Personal experiences are shared, highlighting the pressure to convert loved ones to match religious beliefs, which evolved into acceptance of differing views over time. The article is criticized for perpetuating submissive stereotypes of women and guilt-driven narratives common in Catholic teachings. The conversation delves into the manipulative language used in such articles, aiming to evoke emotional responses and reinforce traditional gender roles.As the discussion concludes, the panelists advocate for private religious beliefs and the importance of critical dialogue about societal issues. They invite feedback from viewers on their platforms and stress the need for awareness and engagement with current events.The Non-Prophets, Episode 22.20 airing Sunday, May 21, 2023 featuring Kelley Laughlin, Timothy Bethel, Cindy Plaza and Jason Friedman.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.

In this solo episode, I'm sharing a powerful reflection that hit me unexpectedly after receiving an offer to buy one of my past businesses — a business I had built, succeeded in, and lovingly put down to follow my soul's work.While revisiting old offerings, I was reminded of something huge: ✨ The only reason any of it existed — the income, the impact, the legacy — is because I had the courage to act.This episode is a love letter (and a wake-up call) to the women sitting on their ideas, waiting to feel ready, and wondering why they're stuck. I dive into:Why action is the only portal to momentum and growthThe real reason some offerings succeed and some don't (and why that's okay)How inaction leads to your ideas finding a new homeThe link between business, personal growth, and deep impactThe difference between thinking and quantum leapingIf you've been circling your next move, craving alignment, or holding yourself back from being seen — this is the pep talk your soul needs.Your ideas chose you.

In an age where technology is rapidly evolving, the need for innovative security solutions has never been more pressing. The introduction of smart locks has transformed traditional locking mechanisms, providing homeowners with enhanced security, convenience, and ease of use. One of the most groundbreaking advancements in this domain is the Veno Pro, an innovative smart lock featuring vein detection technology, a product showcased by Michael Paone from Lockin. This smart lock has a variety of unique attributes, including its operational mechanics, and the advantages it offers over conventional locking systems.Understanding Vein Detection TechnologyVein detection technology is a remarkable innovation that utilizes infrared scanning to identify the unique vein patterns in an individual's palm. Unlike traditional fingerprint recognition, which can be hindered by smudges, cuts, or other obstructions on the skin, vein detection offers a higher level of accuracy and reliability. The Veno Pro smart lock boasts an impressive 99.8% accuracy rate, making it a formidable alternative to fingerprint-based systems. This technology not only enhances security but also simplifies the unlocking process, allowing users to gain access with a simple wave of their palm.User-Friendly Design and FunctionalityOne of the most appealing aspects of the vein detection smart lock is its user-friendly design. The setup process is straightforward, requiring only a minute to program the user's palm from various angles. Once set up, the lock operates seamlessly, enabling quick access without the need for physical contact. This is particularly advantageous for individuals who often find themselves carrying bags or equipment, as they can unlock the door without needing to shift items around or use their hands.Additionally, the smart lock features a "party mode," which allows temporary access for guests without compromising security. This mode is ideal for social gatherings, such as barbecues, where multiple people may need to enter and exit the home. By relaxing the security temporarily, the lock ensures that trusted individuals can come and go freely while maintaining a level of security against unauthorized access.Versatile Features and IntegrationBeyond its vein detection capabilities, the smart lock also serves multiple functions, making it a versatile addition to any home. It incorporates a doorbell feature with a high-definition camera, allowing homeowners to monitor who is at their door. With a 2K resolution and a wide detection range of 180 degrees, the camera enhances security by providing clear visuals of visitors. This integration of features means that homeowners can replace multiple devices with a single, streamlined solution, reducing clutter and simplifying home security.Moreover, the smart lock's design allows it to fit seamlessly into existing door hardware, meaning homeowners do not need to compromise on their preferred door handles or aesthetics. This adaptability is crucial for those who have invested in specific door designs, ensuring that security enhancements do not detract from the overall look of their entryway.Conclusion: An Easier Biometric Lock for HomeThe innovative Veno Pro smart lock from Lockin represents a significant advancement in home security solutions. By combining cutting-edge vein recognition with user-friendly features and versatile functionality, this lock addresses common pain points associated with traditional locking mechanisms. As security concerns continue to rise and technology advances, products like this smart lock will likely become essential for homeowners seeking both convenience and safety. With its ability to provide fast, accurate access while maintaining a high level of security, the vein detection smart lock is not just a trend; it is a glimpse into the future of residential security.You can pre-order your Veno Pro now through Indiegogo and learn more about the company's other products on their or purchase after the preorder on the company's web store.Interview by Scott Ertz of F5 Live: Refreshing Technology.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

Nephrologist Manjula Tamura discusses the downsides of kidney dialysis, especially for old or frail patients. Her field has set its sights on offering alternatives, including supportive medical management without dialysis, dialysis in increments, wearable artificial kidneys, and transplanted kidneys from genetically modified pigs – in addition to advances in preventive care that can help humans avoid kidney failure in the first place. Dialysis can extend life, she says, but it is a lifestyle change.

In this episode of the Global Medical Device Podcast, host Etienne Nichols continues his conversation with regulatory expert Mike Drues in part two of their series on home use medical devices. The discussion centers on critical topics such as labeling, usability challenges, and the future of medical devices in home settings. They explore how these devices, increasingly used by non-healthcare professionals, face unique hurdles such as user training, environmental factors, and technological concerns like cybersecurity and data security. Together, Etienne and Mike also delve into how regulatory frameworks need to adapt for home use, and they highlight potential future issues with devices as AI and robotic assistance grow in prominence.Key Timestamps:[02:20] - Recap of Part 1 & Introduction to Home Use DevicesMike revisits key topics from part 1, focusing on why home use devices matter.[10:45] - Defining the Intended User and EnvironmentDiscussion about how labeling must account for who will use the device and where.[15:30] - Technological and Environmental Challenges for Home Use DevicesExploring temperature, humidity, and power inconsistencies affecting performance.[30:05] - Reprocessing and Cleaning Devices at HomeThe challenges and risks associated with reusing and cleaning devices like CPAPs.[40:15] - Usability Testing & Human FactorsImportance of considering non-healthcare users when designing home devices.[55:12] - Cybersecurity Risks in Home DevicesThe growing significance of data security and strategies for protecting devices in non-clinical settings.[1:05:30] - Post-Market Surveillance and Reporting for Home DevicesThe complexities of tracking device performance and recalls when used in home environments.Memorable Quotes:"When we talk about intended users, we must shift our thinking from healthcare professionals to patients. Designing for non-clinicians is crucial because usability directly impacts safety." – Mike Drues"If your device has to be recalibrated, why not have a mechanism that disables it when calibration is overdue? That's a much stronger safeguard than relying on users to remember." – Mike Drues"Cybersecurity is a growing challenge in home devices. It's not just about protecting personal data—imagine if a critical medical device was hacked." – Etienne NicholsKey Takeaways:Latest MedTech Trends:Increasing Use of Home Medical Devices: Patients are increasingly managing their own health at home, necessitating devices that are user-friendly and adaptable to various home environments.AI & Robotics in Home Devices: With the rise of AI and robotic assistance, the definition of an "intended user" is evolving, requiring future-proof regulatory considerations.Data Security: As more devices become connected, cybersecurity is becoming a top priority, particularly for critical, life-sustaining technologies.Practical Tips for MedTech Professionals:Understand the End-User: When designing devices, consider that patients, not healthcare professionals, will be the primary users. Usability is key.Incorporate Environmental Testing: Take environmental factors like humidity, power outages, and storage conditions into account during the device development phase.Push Updates Automatically: For connected devices, push software updates automatically to mitigate cybersecurity risks, rather than relying on users to pull...

I think a lot of people right now are feeling terror or feeling deep grief - worry about climate - and might mention it in a joking way over dinner, like ‘oh, well, we'll see if we're all around in 20 years' and there's so much truth to that, to the pain people are feeling in the worry. And so in the end, I think and hope that it's helpful to share my personal emotional experience of this, even though it's very vulnerable to do so.As promised during our first conversation on June 10th, 2024, in e187 alice irene whittaker - caring for the planet I love, I've now read Homing: A Quest to Care for Myself and the Earth book that came out on Tuesday, September 3, 2024. Here is my review of the book. Please keep in mind that this is my first try at being a literary critic. Luckily, it was easy, because I loved the book and highly recommend it to everyone. I loved the flow of the book, like gently canoeing down a river with occasional sudden rapids but with some portaging. And I notice that you often refer to rivers in the book. We'll come back to that. At times the mix of practical and poetic did not work for me but then I'm not your average reader either, because my life story is actually much like yours, except that that I was a perfectionist and overachieving musician instead of a dancer - and I didn't break my arm, not yet anyway. I think we were brought up equally enamoured with nature and worried sick about the implication of modernity and our complicity in it, though we would not have used that language back then…So on the practical side I enjoyed learning more, for example, about eco-responsible local living : the buy nothing movement, the unbuilding movement, the permaculture movement and so on. I also loved hearing about that magical 37th degree isotherm and other stories of life on earth that warms the spirit. Here are some my highlights: You talk about ‘Fashion as an ecosystem of justice, climate, soil, labour, gender, creativity, expression and culture, made up of people each with their own offerings and niche, intricate in its diversity and interconnections.' in the context of sustainable fashion You remind us that ‘it's time for a whole-of-self-transformation, one that is messy and imperfect and wholehearted', which does not sound perfectionist but rather grounded in realityI love your thinking around economic issues, for example, you wrote that ‘For the circular economy, or any alternative model to be meaningful, it has to recognize Indigenous worldviews and pay reparations to the people who have been exploited, traumatized, and marginalized in the centuries-long project of the linear, patriarchal, colonial and capitalist economy.'And this last one, more on the poetic side, made me nostalgic for winter:Snow is water holding its breath, a calm pause after a deep inhale, waiting for that great exhale of spring when, instead of air, water rushes forth with relief.Beautiful, engaging writing. And of course your Homing book made me think about my own domestic life and my own idea of home.An excerpt from episode 185 of this podcast with indigenous artist Sandra Laronde came to mind: I really believe that we carry the spirit of the land wherever we go. In the Western canon, they say that once you leave home, you can never return, but in the Indigenous canon, home never leaves you. I can see affinities between Sandra's statement about home never leaves you and the purpose of your book which is about : … care, motherhood, healing, faltering, and searching for ways to live during breakdown and about finding home, when our planetary home is eroding, and questioning how - and whether - to have hope.What then is hope? What is home? What is life? What is love? You ask a lot of questions.One of things that caught my attention in Homing was the idea of ‘breakdown' (some might call it ecological and societal collapse) but systemic breaking down in one way or another, which is a necessary step in nature's regeneration process but is also necessary for us to live through as we exit the modern world and btw the word through is very important in your book. We'll come back to that.So, I would say that Homing is a hoot - a funny and moving book - but it's also a sobering book that is connected to reality.What your book shows us, Alice Irene, is how to batten down the hatches and to get ready for a storm that is already here, as you've experienced this week with the floodings in Chelsea, Québec and the disappearance of your gardens and some of your beloved natural spaces but it's also about unblocking creative energies and working through that dynamic. Working through… I like the way you put it on page 171:Believing in myself as beneficial rather than harmful provided a deep and unfamiliar freedom. Overall, I would say that Homing is a valuable addition to ecological and climate crisis literature. It's so deeply personal that we can literally feel your pains and joys but it's also a universal story that can appeal to anyone, anywhere. And I think that it's a literary tour de force and I want to thank you, and your family, for sharing your story and I hope you write a sequel, when you're ready. I'm really curious to know what happens next. *Chapters (generated by AI and corrected by Claude Schryer)Reconnecting and ReflectingAlice Irene and Claude reconnect after their previous conversation, setting the stage for a deep dive into Alice Irene's new book.

Did you know that, despite the challenges of the current housing market, most Americans still consider homeownership an essential part of the American Dream? And yet sometimes a quick run of your numbers can reveal that owning property may not be as financially advantageous as you initially thought. In this episode, we'll talk about the real cost of owning a home. According to a survey conducted by the online platform Lending Tree in July 2023, 94% of respondents still see homeownership as an essential part of the American Dream. However, as the days and months pass by,  the realities of the current housing market, with its ever-changing ups and downs, have created a sense of hopelessness in so many people, particularly the younger crowd: no matter what they do, it's unlikely they will ever be able to afford a house. But, what if this sense of hopelessness was simply a by-product of believing that owning a house is better than renting because it's cheaper? What if this belief were simply not true? While no one can deny that owning the house you live in can be a rewarding, and even fulfilling experience, the numbers don't lie: there are so many scenarios where owning property can cost you more (way, way more, in fact) than renting out. In this episode, I'll share with you my story (and insights) on things you have to consider before buying a home and the importance of running your numbers before committing to homeownership. In this episode you will learn: Some of the things to consider when buying a homeThe numbers you need to compare for calculating the true cost of owning vs renting a homeWhy my family is choosing not to buy a home and what we are doing instead.For a quick recap of this episode go to https://www.jenhemphill.com/395The post, NOT owning a home does have its benefits | HDM 395 appeared first on the Her Dinero Matters Podcast.

For the transcript for this episode, visit http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.ukSubscribe to the podcastToday, I dive into the importance of setting up systems to make dehoarding easier and less resistant. We'll discuss how examining the structure of our lives can help us determine what can be done to make the decluttering process more manageable. Plus, we'll explore the concept of choosing realistic timings that fit with our individual lifestyles for successful decluttering. We'll also explore the idea that the path of least resistance is often seen as negative, implying that someone isn't trying hard enough. In the realm of dealing with hoarding, however, the path of least resistance can be a gift. I'll explain how taking this approach doesn't mean avoiding challenges altogether, but rather making the overwhelming task of decluttering more manageable. Join me as I navigate the intricate world of compulsive hoarding, exploring the strategies and mindsets that can help us overcome this challenge. Get ready to uncover the path of least resistance.Choosing the simplest option to overcome challengesUncertainty, struggle, progress in dealing with tasksCreate a system to enable donating itemsOvercome barriers and get things outSimplify decisions, prioritise, and start somewhereGuidelines and formulasConfidence and small stepsChoose the easiest option to start moving.

Today's guest is Eve Rodsky. She wrote the book Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live), which gamifies the life management system to help partners and families reimagine their relationships. She's elevated the cultural conversation about the value of unpaid labor and care, and provides a system that trades in assumptions for values based decision-making. Asking the simple, yet profound question, “what would happen if we treated our homes as our most important organization?” Eve's New York Times bestselling book was one of Reese's book club picks, followed by an award-winning documentary and book sequel “Find Your Unicorn Space: How to Reclaim Your Creative Life in a Too Busy World.”We also cover…00:02:08 — Bringing Awareness to the ‘Invisible Work' ConversationHousehold inequalities that prevent us from exploring our creative spaceGoing from a lawyer to a gender division of labor expertHer dreams of smashing glass ceilings to feeling emotionally and physically abandoned at work and at homeThe start of her Fair Play journey after becoming a mother of twoLearning that 93% of household work is done by mothersWhy invisible work remains unseen for late stage capitalist patriarchy to continuePushing for equality in the school system 00:11:40 – Quantifying the “Sh*t I do” Spreadsheets for Maternal tasksDispelling the conditioned belief placed on mothers to manage the householdCreate an ownership mindset with Fair Play cardsHow the ‘lead dad' movement started creating more connection in their livesTurning the mom and dad job description into an even playing field Kelly's take on her non-traditional household & addressing mom guiltSharing the Magic Suit (invisible workload)Checking in with your partner to divide up the workloadHow taking ownership and accountability for mistakes creates new relationship dynamics00:24:35 — Setting Boundaries, Systems, and Communication in the Home Learning to treat your home as the most important organizationApplying her project management skills to her own homeSetting boundaries around your ‘availability' as a mother“Why did I have to earn my own personal time?”The generational disconnect: from selfless to selfishWomen's time being infinite like sand, and men's time being finite like diamondsChanging the narrative that has led us to become compliant in our own oppression00:38:08 — Protecting Your Unicorn Space3 exercises to create curiosity, connection, and completionDefining your guilt & shame Setting up your Unicorn Space by outlining your valuesCreating the system behind setting boundariesWhy stripping your values strips you of yourselfHonoring your partner's creative spaceTrade in assumptions for value-based decision making with Fair Play & Unicorn SpaceResources:Website: EveRodsky.com Instagram: @everodskyInstagram:

Matt and Steve have done a lot of learning about the construction of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous from reaching "Writing the Big Book," by Bill Schaberg.  In today's language, the chapter, "To Wives," is troublesome.  In the context of 1938, it reflected the times.Men were alcoholicsAlcoholics were white, Christian menWomen supported the man in the homeThe chapter states it's "written," by the women of AA.  In reality, Bill Wilson wrote it himself.  In today's times, it can be viewed as sexist and submissive to the alcoholic in the family.Steve and Matt talk about the chapter in today's society and the best way to digest it to make it relevant in modern times.We have a favor to ask.
