Episode Notes In this episode of Workplace Hugs, Shannon and Rami explore "addition sickness" - the tendency to solve problems by adding more tasks, responsibilities, or features instead of simplifying. They share why subtraction might be the key to reducing overwhelm and creating more focus, clarity, and effectiveness in both work and life.

A Georgia widow forgives and hugs the man who killed her husband in a hit-and-run, telling him God loves him during his sentencing. Four people are now in custody for the 2020 murders of a retired nurse and a retired firefighter in rural Georgia. Drew Nelson reports.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode follows the powerful and unexpectedly uplifting story of Jake Popyura, a musician and multi-instrumentalist in the indie rock band Supermilk, who was diagnosed with ALS at just 38. Rather than despair, Jake felt relief—finally understanding the cause behind years of unexplained symptoms. As his physical abilities shift, Jake and his bandmates have chosen adaptation over retreat, pouring their energy into their recent album Lazy Teenage Boasts. Balancing terminal illness, mental health challenges, and a relentless creative drive, Jake leans into dark humor and online community to navigate the journey. His story is a testament to resilience, reinvention, and finding meaning through music in the face of life's harshest realities.  Thanks for listening.  Hugs, LorriFollow and see what's coming next: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, LinkedIn.

Episode Notes In this episode of Workplace Hugs, Shannon and Rami explore Dr. Chatterjee's "Three Fs" framework - feel, feed, and find - to help break the cycle of using work as an escape from uncomfortable emotions. They get real about their own stress and demonstrate how to identify what you're really feeling and find healthier ways to meet those needs beyond overworking.

Hugs quite literally will change your life! We look at the science that shows how God's design of humans includes a prescription for healthy hugs that strengthen your immune system, rewire your brain stress, allow you to heal faster, and so much more!

This episode first appeared in 2021, and here's what I had to say about it: Simona Castricum is a musician, DJ and producer based in Melbourne, Australia. We caught up to talk about Hugs and Kisses, a night that ran in the 2010s and took advantage of the looser licensing laws that applied to the venue it was based in, which created this wonderful, hedonistic atmosphere reminiscent of the early rave scene. We talked a lot about being safe on the scene and how to create that culture, becoming yourself, and drinking in the street. Oh, and I need to let you know that Simona is probably THE most Australian person that I've ever spoken to, and uses a whole heap of colloquial language, so you may want to familiarise yourself with the terms cooked, hoon, sick, goon and pingers before you listen to the episode! But, then again, it's kind of fun guessing as you go along so I'll leave that decision up to you. 

Episode Notes In this episode of Workplace Hugs, Shannon and Rami introduce the concept of a "pre-victorium" - planning for what happens when everything goes spectacularly right, not just when it all falls apart. They challenge listeners to shift from only preparing for failure to also strategizing how to maximize and sustain overwhelming success.

“You don't have to shout to be heard. Your gentleness might be your most powerful parenting tool.” In a world that feels louder and harsher by the day, our kids need homes that reflect the gentleness of Christ. In this episode, Rene and Rebekah explore how discipling with tenderness creates lasting influence in your child's heart. You'll discover:

The emotional aftermath of losing someone to ALS is a journey rarely discussed but vitally important to understand. Caroline, Jill, Jenny, and Deb—four remarkable women who lost husbands and a sister to ALS—share their paths through grief toward finding purpose and even joy again.  Years after their losses, these women formed "Antiques Roadshow for ALS," a cycling team of women over 60 who donned pearls, vintage clothing, and tutus while raising over $28,000 for ALS TDI's  research. Their stories reveal the complex reality of grief—how it never truly ends but evolves into something you learn to carry alongside new experiences and memories.  These women candidly discuss experiencing depression, anxiety, and PTSD years after their losses, normalizing these ongoing struggles while demonstrating that healing doesn't mean forgetting.  For those currently caregiving or recently bereaved, their stories offer a glimpse into a future where community, purpose, and even joy remain possible.

I found a post that fit exactly with what I did yesterday with one of my best friends. From Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_), “Proof the best things in life are free: Sunrises, Sunsets, Hugs, Conversations, Love, Waking Up, Nature, Laughter.” The breakfast that I had with one of my best friends, Scott, got me thinking about the fact that I've been through all the items on this list (and more) with him throughout our lives. I've also been blessed to have others be a part of this list too. There are so many other things that are free in life - recognizing them along with being lucky enough to share them with others, is a key to what I think is a very happy & fulfilled life. Going through this list on this episode, really got my emotions going as I'm seeing (again), how blessed I really am. When I connect things like this list to special people in my life, I get inspired & feel a tremendous amount of encouragement.  Scott helped to remind me of both again as I shared some breakfast time with him.  Find those things that are “free” in life & not only connect with them for yourself, but also look to connect them to others in your life too.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Send us a textThis week on the One Drink Podcast, we dive headfirst into the gray areas of life with a round of moral dilemmas that'll have you questioning everything—including would you offer the last wing or eat the last wing.

The Grinders are back and just in time for Pride month. What's that you say? "But Pride month is over." Well, bitch, it's ALWAYS Pride month for the LGBTQ+ community! As proud as I am to finally start stepping out into the larger community, I'm also proud to host a show with two of best Podcasters to put on a mic. Another thing that fills me with Pride is always showing up just in time to miss the news. Except this episode, in which I was forced to read every news story! The grueling agony. The minutes of my life I will never get back. I can't believe that they forced me to read both stories!  I may have my Pride but we all have our Stinkos. Some of the worst horrors of the week, from mundane to catastrophic. Unfortunately, our country is in total decline. In less than 6 months, Trump and the corrupt justices have turned America into a fascist nation. As we watch human rights be trampled, we must all hold strong to whatever gives us Pride. As things get worse, we can't let kill what makes us strong. Even though most of us are watching our rights disappear. One group seems to be getting more laws created in their favor, the gun lobby. That's right, the Grinders once again address the issue of gun violence in the United States. Not speaking for anyone else but I have no Pride in our cultural love of guns. We never want to end the show on a sour note. So, the Grinders have not one, but two brand-new Driver's Seats! Both DSs are based around getting older. How do the Grinders feel about Birthday parties and going gray? The Pride of the middle aged as we head towards just being old.  They can take away everything, but they can never change what is in our hearts. We must hold on tight to our Pride and our beliefs in right and wrong. There is no question that this country has gone very wrong. Don't let the country or the villains corrupt or sway you away from what is right. Like listening to RPGrinders, that is always the right thing to do.                               Fuck Trump and fuck that "Big beautiful fuck you" to the American people.       The quote on something I was given while marching in the Cincinnati Pride Parade:  "That once again you are on the frontlines of hate is just so unfair and so wrong. Sorry. Still, you've been here before. They've picked the wrong scapegoat. Your strength will see us through.  Keep being you. You are loved. Hugs!"        

This is a joint Sauna Talk podcast with Linda and Otto who also run the Sprit of Sauna podcast from Finland as well as Sipoonjoki Heritage Sauna, just outside Helsinki, Finland. Linda and Otto are business partners who share a common interest in preserving the cultural roots and history of smoke sauna, promoting the rituals and power behind, and help create a place and platform for education and retreats at their sauna facility in nature, just outside Helsinki, Finland. Sauna Talk: Sipoonjoki heritage sauna Sipoonjoki's heritage sauna offers a unique experience in a country sauna, where bathing leaves you feeling especially cleansed and refreshed. www.saunotus.fi I'd call Sipoonjoki a “smoke sauna haven.” For guests traveling to Finland or within Finland, the top features include: – their flagship smoke sauna, built traditionally, within the hill mound with stone walls. – saunotus ceremonies and treatments – using plants and herbs, growing on sight and in the shadows nearby. – education and retreats. The day of my visit, as I was departing after my session, a half dozen Finnish ladies were arriving for their private smoke sauna ritual. That's the beauty of smoke sauna – and maybe I should describe smoke sauna for listeners who may not be familiar. Journey to Sipoonjoki Heritage Sauna Otto offers to come pick me up in downtown Helsinki. But learning about he and Linda's busy schedule (as owners, operators, parents to each having their own children, etc.) I will have none of it. I love taking public transport in Europe, and Finland is no exception. I take the metro to the central train station and with train stop on my phone. It doesn't take me long to find a younger, sharper, more localized Helsinki -ite at the station to direct me to platform 7. From there, I board the commuter train. From there, I confirm that once the train pushes off, i'm the third stop north of town. I disembark, and there's Otto waiting for me with a big smile, standing in front of the photo wrapped passenger van. Hugs and hello, and off we go to Sipoonjoki. The drive is just long enough for us to help orient myself to where we are. And we find the common english word, The tool we're thinking of is called a compass (or drafting compass). You remember from elementary school. It has one pointed leg and one leg that holds a pencil or lead, allowing you to draw precise circles or arcs. It's commonly used in geometry, drafting, woodworking, and metalworking. Well, this is part of the magic of Linda and Otto's sauna retreat center. The compass point being Helsinki central, and within the drawn circle is Sipoonkorpi National Park. We are heading for smoke sauna. As Nature is such a critically wonderful component to good sauna. And, here we are, as if transformed to hundreds of kilometers away, yet just close to Helsinki. I ask: for visitors, car is the best option. But if a tourist were visiting without, what is the best way to get close to you, is it the train that I took, or the bus? “There is a bus stop relatively close and during summer weekends there is a bus that comes directly to the sauna.” Gotta love Finland. Beyond the obvious My latest Europe trip – 40 saunas in 12 days carried with it a general theme: beyond the obvious. For example, all sauna tourists will hit Löyly in Helsinki, yet few venture on the path less taken to Sipoonjoki. And stepping out of the van with Otto and meeting Linda, on this end of May early afternoon, I'm met with the sound of birds and soft breeze blowing through the tall spruce trees, take sight of the grounds and smoke sauna awaiting me, and i'm filled with joy and calm for what exists beyond the obvious. We settle into one of their outbuildings, get mic'ed up, and off we go. A joint podcast, The Spirit of Sauna meets SaunaTimes Sauna Talk… and welcome to this episode with Linda and Otto, where we get right into the spirit together with you alongside. Etusivu

Episode Notes In this episode of Workplace Hugs, Shannon and Rami debate a famous John Wooden quote about taking time to do things right the first time versus potentially encouraging perfectionism. They explore whether slowing down and being more intentional with our efforts can actually save us time and energy in the long run.

We don't really know how AIs like ChatGPT work...which makes it all the more chilling that they're now leading people down rabbit holes of delusion, actively spreading misinformation, and becoming sycophantic romantic partners. Harvard computer science professor Jonathan Zittrain joins Offline to explain why these large language models lie to us, what we lose by anthropomorphizing them, and how they exploit the dissonance between what we want, and what we think we should want.  

Episode Notes In this episode of Workplace Hugs, Shannon and Rami dive into a powerful conversation about understanding addiction through the lens of empathy, exploring how pain and coping mechanisms show up in our work lives. Through personal stories and insights from Dr. Gabor Maté's work, they examine how shifting from judgment to curiosity can create healthier workplace cultures and deeper human connections.

Mexico's electronics has always been one of the main events at APEX, but this year they are doubling down! I explore the journey of IPC Mexico and their first-ever dedicated pavilion at Apex after 25 years of Mexican participation at the show. Lorena Villanueva, the dynamic leader of IPC Mexico, reveals their groundbreaking "three-helix" strategy that's reshaping their position in the Mexican electronics landscape. By forging deep partnerships between state governments (including aerospace hub Querétaro and automotive electronics center Guanajuato), academic institutions, and industry leaders, IPC Mexico has created a powerful ecosystem that drives education, innovation and growth throughout the region.What truly sets IPC Mexico apart is their authentic approach to community building. "We are huggers," Lorena explains, highlighting how cultural understanding and personal connections have been game-changers in their success. Rather than imposing American methodologies, IPC has empowered their Mexican team to develop strategies that resonate locally while maintaining global best practices. This cultural intelligence has transformed IPC from being perceived as a foreign entity to becoming a truly Mexican association in just the past 12 months.The future looks bright as IPC Mexico continues hosting regional events that facilitate networking and knowledge-sharing in comfortable, open environments. Their commitment to supporting both members and the broader industry demonstrates how international organizations can achieve global excellence through local relevance. Want to see how genuine connection and cultural understanding can transform an industry? Follow IPC Mexico's journey as they continue building bridges between Mexico and the global electronics community!EMS@C-Level Live at APEX is sponsored by global inspection leaders Koh Young (https://www.kohyoung.com) and Creative Electron (https://creativeelectron.com)EMS@C-Level is sponsored by global inspection leaders Koh Young (https://www.kohyoung.com) and Creative Electron (https://creativeelectron.com) You can see video versions of all of the EMS@C-Level pods on our YouTube playlist.

My son and I are debating on a 350 ledgend or a 450 Bushmaster. It does have to be single shot. A removable mag is acceptable. We won't be shooting much more than 200 yards. Just want your thoughts on these two rounds and suggestions on rifles. I'm not a poor but not rich. DukeOfCrude - Hey fam,I'd like to have your input on something. There is a Vietnam-era amphibious 8x8 (LTV Aerospace Kidd) that's for sale down the road, and I've been thinking about selling some guns to go make an offer on it. (The old lady is a widow and won't take trade)The question is, would you go sell some non-essential guns (range toys) for something non-gun related? My kids are 5 and 3, and I want to raise them around guns and shooting. Between my Dad and I, we have guns so that everyone has- 1. 22 rifle 2. 22 pistol 3. A intermediate caliber hunting rifle 4. Waterfowl shotgun 5. Upland bird shotgun 6. CcW Semi-auto pistol 7. A rifle the goverment would frown upon 8. A PCC 9. An heirloom pieceThe ones I would sell would come from outside of this list, but includes some fun range toys that I probably won't be able to find again. Do any of you have regrets from selling guns, or do you think this is a good idea in that it's a different hobby I can enjoy with my kids while they are little? I'd probably take it trail riding, camping, and hunting mostly. Appreciate your thoughts and thanks for the great content!Duke Kyle B - Where do you guys get your medical supplies i.e., amoxicillin and other Rx-style medications? Thank you.   Mike B - Why Rost Martin? I think I missed your usual explanation about why you chose to work with them. Just curious what makes them stand out if you're partnering with them? Denny E - I've been doing Jiu Jitsu for about 6 months now, and I have become a deadly weapon. Don't believe me? Ask the 13 year old I beat up today. Which brings me to my question. Does Second Call Defense cover these hands?
