His work on fiction-based religion includes his PhD dissertation “The Spiritual Tolkien Milieu” (2014, cum laude), several articles on Tolkien spirituality and Star Wars-based Jediism, and the edited book Narrative and Belief: The Religious Affordance of Supernatural Fiction (Routledge, 2018). His other research interests include method, theory and research history of the study of religion and religion education. Currently, he is developing a new curriculum and didactical approach for the school subject worldview and religion in Dutch secondary education. In this episode, Markus discusses the concept of fiction-based religion- a term he coined to describe spiritual movements rooted in fictional narratives like Star Wars, and The Lord of the Rings. He distinguishes fiction-based religions (FBRs) from traditional religions by highlighting their lack of historical truth claims and their embrace of narrative as a source of spiritual authority.Markus traces the roots of FBRs to earlier movements like Rosicrucianism, noting how mythic storytelling has long served as a vehicle for spiritual exploration. He shares insights from his research into Jediism and Tolkien-inspired spirituality, examining how these communities construct rituals, ethics, and cosmologies from fictional texts.The conversation also explores the motivations behind FBR engagement, from identity formation to aesthetic and existential meaning.Drawing on Tanya Luhrmann's concept of interpretive drift, Markus reflects on how belief can evolve through practice, suggesting that ritual and engagement may precede conviction.Regarding Huizinga's theory of Homo Ludens, Markus highlights the three kinds of human practices – work, play, and ritual, where play and ritual seem on the surface to be similar, but the difference is: with play, one knows they are playing ( “fiction-contract” as taken from Theatre Studies) whereas ritual might look like play, but it is based on assumptions that the entities actually exist (“actuality contract”). This lens helps frame fandom as a potential site of faith, where “belief” can emerge through ritualistic, creative engagement.Finally, the conversation turns to his current project, Nieuwe werelden openen (“Opening New Worlds”), a pedagogical initiative that uses narrative and perspective-based inquiry to help students explore existential and societal questions. He reflects on how his FBR research informs this work, bridging imaginative engagement with educational practice.PROGRAM NOTESMarkus Davidsen - Leiden UniversityMarkus Altena Davidsen publiceert boek voor docenten levensbeschouwing - Universiteit Leiden2014 The Spiritual Tolkien Milieu: A Study of Fiction‐based Religion (full text)Narrative and Belief | The Religious Affordance of Supernatural Fictio [Book]Markus Altena Davidsen - Universiteit Leiden [Articles]Handbook of Hyper-real Religions | Brill Photo Markus Davidsen by Arash NikkahMusic and Editing: Daniel P.

Every October 31st, kids go wild - costumes, sugar, excitement - but what if that same energy is quietly shaping ADHD diagnoses? In this Doctor’s Desk episode, Justin and Kylie unpack a fascinating new study showing a 14% spike in ADHD diagnoses on Halloween day. They explore what this says about subjectivity in diagnosis, the risks of overlabelling kids, and how our environments - not just our children - might need rethinking. KEY POINTS: A new Harvard study found ADHD diagnoses rise 14% on Halloween compared to surrounding days. ADHD remains a subjective diagnosis — there’s no blood test or scan to confirm it. Why environment and maturity often explain behaviours mistaken for “disorder.” The real risks of misdiagnosis — medication, labelling, and self-perception. Why it’s time to look at what’s happening around kids, not just within them. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: “There isn’t anything wrong with her — she just doesn’t fit the mould of what we consider normal.” RESOURCES MENTIONED: Study: Halloween, ADHD, and Subjectivity in Medical Diagnosis (National Bureau of Economic Research) Searching for Normal by Sami Timimi The Parenting Revolution by Justin Coulson ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Before seeking a diagnosis, consider context — sleep, stress, diet, and school environment. Avoid rushing to label; focus on understanding and supporting your child’s unique needs. Ask questions — about treatment pathways, environment, and alternative perspectives. Create calmer spaces where kids can regulate, play, and thrive. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Push-Pull of ADHD and Autism: Stretching Without Breaking In this candid conversation, Patricia Young (she/her) and B Lourenco (she/her) dive deep into the realities of living with ADHD, autism, and other forms of neurodivergence. They explore the push-pull between self-accommodation and stretching ourselves, how shame and internalized ableism impact daily life, and what it means to create realistic support systems at home, in relationships, and in the workplace. Expect raw honesty, relatable stories, and practical insights for navigating neurodivergent life. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE · The ongoing "driver's seat battle" between ADHD and autism. · The push-pull between making accommodations and stretching ourselves beyond comfort. · Parenting a neurodivergent young adult while balancing when to push and when to allow rest. · Task initiation struggles — from making banana bread to cooking meals. · Body doubling as a powerful tool to reduce shame and spark motivation. · The "crisper/rotter" effect — guilt over wasted food and executive dysfunction. · Financial and practical impacts of task initiation challenges. · How privilege plays into having options like prepared or frozen meals when cooking feels impossible. · The cost of pushing through fatigue and flares with conditions like POTS and MCAS. · "Future me" thinking — and the difficulties neurodivergent folks have with impermanence. · Shame as the "ice cream scoop" on top of disability struggles. · Why diagnosis matters: language helps reduce shame and prevent repeating harmful patterns. · How powerlessness, and an attempt to gain autonomy can show up in small, reactive choices (like leaving a Facebook group). · Sensory sensitivities in family systems — how lack of accommodations can lead to dysfunction. · Practical accommodations for noise-sensitive parents and their kids. · Workplace challenges: 40-hour weeks, return-to-office pressures, and capitalism's rigidity. · Creative problem-solving in disabled and neurodivergent communities. · The deep fear of being uncared for and alone if we can't keep up. · Hyper-independence and isolation in the ADHD/autistic community. · Internalized ableism and the "shoulds" that drive shame and burnout. · Neurodivergence as a dynamic disability — what's possible one day isn't always possible the next. · Radical acceptance as a path toward reducing judgment and finding relief. SOUND BITES · "It begs the question of, okay, is that okay? Can we just say that's how it is?" – B Lourenco · "Instead of putting our energy into addressing the gap, folks will take the great divide and then put a scoop of shame on top of it." – B Lourenco · "All the terrible things that we tell ourselves… if I didn't have that awareness, I'd just keep repeating these patterns." – Patricia Young · "In order to truly accommodate ourselves, we have to acknowledge that it's as hard as it is and that we're as disabled as we are." – B Lourenco · "Sometimes I have to ask myself, what if what you're going through is exactly where you need to be?" – Patricia Young SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are.

This episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosted by Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton, tackles a silent struggle many first responders face: hyper-vigilance that doesn't switch off when the shift ends. On the job, scanning for threats is survival (Amazon Affiliate). But at home, that same mindset can turn into exhaustion, irritability, and disconnection. We explore what hyper-vigilance looks like in everyday family life, why it's so hard to shake, and how to retrain your nervous system so peace doesn't feel like danger. 5 Examples of Hyper-Vigilance at Home Constantly Scanning the Environment Always checking locks, windows, and exits—even in your own living room. Startle Responses to Everyday Sounds Jumping at noises like a slammed door or a child's toy dropping to the floor. Difficulty Relaxing in Public Spaces Choosing seats with a view of exits and never letting your guard down, even at a restaurant. Emotional Distance From Family Remaining “on duty” mode at home makes it hard to fully connect with your spouse or kids. Chronic Restlessness or Insomnia The nervous system stays on alert, robbing you of sleep and recovery. 5 Ways to Combat Hyper-Vigilance Practice Grounding Techniques Use deep breathing, mindfulness, or body scans to bring your nervous system back to calm. Create Safe Home Rituals Intentionally shift from “on duty” to “at home” with habits like changing clothes, showering, or a short walk after work. Communicate With Family About What's Happening Explain why you might seem distracted or tense, so loved ones don't misinterpret your distance. Limit Over-Stimulation at Home Turn off constant news feeds or radio chatter that keep your mind in a state of alert. Seek Professional Support When Needed Therapy, peer groups, or chaplains trained in responder culture can help you reset patterns that feel automatic.

IntroductionImagine trying to swim while holding a beach ball underwater – you might pull it off for a bit, but sooner or later that ball is bobbing to the surface. Masking ADHD can feel just like that. Many of us with ADHD learn early that our brains and behaviors can stand out, so we develop a “socially acceptable” persona to blend in. We smile, sit still, and force focus – all to hide our natural restlessness or distraction. This isn't about being fake; it's a survival strategy learned over years. But as the ADDA (Adult ADHD Organization) puts it, keeping that mask on “will take a lot of energy – and the same goes for hiding your ADHD symptoms” In this episode, we'll explore what masking looks like, why we do it, how it varies across individuals, and most importantly, how to gradually unmask without burning out.What Is Masking and Why We Do It“Masking” (also called camouflaging or impression management) means hiding ADHD-related behaviors to appear neurotypical, usually to avoid stigma or negative judgments. Psychologists trace the idea back to Russell Barkley, who noted roughly one-third of people with ADHD develop masking habit. In practice, this can mean sitting unnaturally still to hide hyperactivity, speaking slowly to avoid interrupting, or painstakingly rehearsing what to say in social situations. We do it for safety. Maybe a teacher, boss, or parent once told us our energy was “too much,” or we saw peers get punished for fidgeting. Over time, we absorb: if we let our ADHD out, we risk judgment, rejection, or even losing out on opportunities. In fact, research shows it's not paranoia: about 78% of adults with ADHD admit to concealing their symptoms at work for fear of discrimination In school, the disparity can be shocking – one study found students with overt ADHD behaviors are disciplined 3.5 times more often than their peers for the same actions. Add gender and cultural pressures, and masking can feel like the only path: for example, women with ADHD often face “double discrimination” (for having ADHD and for not fitting feminine organizational norms) and are 40% more likely than men to hide their diagnosis entirely. In short, from childhood on, many of us learn that showing our “whole” ADHD selves is risky or unwelcome. So we adapt. We smile when our mind is racing, offer practical reasons for missed details (“Sorry I'm late, traffic was a nightmare!”), and push down our impulsivity. This constant self-monitoring – judging every word, movement, or post you make – drains your brain like a marathon trainer. It literally spikes stress: one study found that simply drafting and editing an email to seem “normal” boosts cortisol by 45% – your body treats each message like a big performance reviewe. Over time, the nervous system can't tell the difference between a social slip-up and physical dange, so we end up trapped in a cycle of hyper-alertness, exhaustion, and anxiety.What Masking Looks LikeBecause masking is so ingrained, it can look subtle – almost invisible – to others. Here are some common signs:Forcing calmness: You feel restless or impulsive inside, but you keep your voice and movements unusually slow. Your leg might be itching to bounce, but you tuck it under the chair. (Essentially, you're acting tranquil on the outside to hide your inside.).Over-checking & perfectionism: You triple-check your work or double-back on a short text. It's not just organization; it's anxiety about making even a tiny mistake. You polish emails or assignments obsessively so no one will doubt you. This can buy you time socially, but it bleeds your time and energy.Mimicking behavior: You silently copy others. If classmates fidget with a pencil or crack jokes, you nod and do something similar, even if it feels unnatural. You rehearse social scripts or small talk lines so you don't stand out.Hyper-focusing to overcompensate: You push intense focus on tasks that are being observed. In a meeting, you might go above and beyond on one project to cover for the times your attention drifts away.Suppressing stims: You swallow small yelps when you're excited, hold in hand-flapping urges, or quietly tap your foot under the table so nobody notices your need to move.Masking emotions: Instead of expressing frustration or excitement, you “perform” a neutral or cheerfully appropriate response. You might bottle up anxiety during social events and then have a breakdown in private.Over time, these “adaptations” literally become a second job. You're constantly monitoring yourself: “Am I moving too much? Did I blurt out something weird? Should I rephrase that?” It can feel like juggling while walking a tightrope. Nothing about the self feels authentic anymore – you're playing roles, not being you. But it's understandable: many ADHDers grew up being rewarded for “good behavior” and punished for impulsivity. The very need to mask is born out of those early lessons.The Spectrum of Masking ExperiencesMasking isn't one-size-fits-all; it varies depending on who you are, your ADHD type, and even where you live. For example, many women with ADHD describe “quiet masking”: an exhausting act of looking calm and organized while feeling chaos inside. Research suggests women often mask more intensely – making extra lists, rehearsing conversations, or overstating competence – which partly explains why ADHD in girls is underdiagnosed. One online clinician notes that 82% of women with ADHD report taking excessive notes or lists as a main coping strategy, whereas men more often throw themselves into high-powered work or sports to cover their restlessness. Men, on the other hand, often face a different mask: society may expect them to “just power through” or hide vulnerability. They might channel their energy into accomplishments or humor while resisting showing any confusion or need for help. Non-binary folks often juggle multiple sets of expectations, effectively running two exhausting personas simultaneouslyHormones also play a role: many women report that masking feels easier at certain times of the month and nearly impossible at others. Studies find that in the week before a period (when estrogen drops), it may take two to three times the energy to hold the mask than usual. In real numbers, one analysis suggests neurodivergent women spend about 4.2 hours each day on masking behaviors (mental checklists, micro-adjustments, etc.) compared to 2.7 hours for men – almost two extra hours of invisible labor.Cultural and social context also shifts masking. If you live in a community that stigmatizes any difference, you may have learned to mask more completely. Queer or BIPOC individuals, for instance, often mask not just ADHD but intersectional identities – layering on extra caution. As a parent, you may have taught your child that only quiet, compliant behavior is “good,” so they never learned a louder style of coping. As an educator, you might see a child who seems well-behaved and think “no ADHD here,” while inside that child is using up all their energy to meet those external expectations. The takeaway: everybody's mask looks a bit different. What matters is the cost: all masking demands surplus energy, and when you're always paying that cost, the debt comes due.The Exhaustion CostSpeaking of cost – exhaustion is the hallmark of masking. It's not ordinary tiredness; it's an all-the-way-to-your-toes, bone-deep fatigue. Over time, masking takes an enormous toll on mental and physical health. Psychologists warn that chronic masking leads to “chronic stress, emotional exhaustion, and mental health struggles” like anxiety or depression. You might find yourself mentally blanking after social events, or breaking down over small setbacks. Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) can worsen this: even a tiny hint of criticism triggers a panic that sends you scrambling to mask harder, which drains more energy.Imagine the analogy of a running car engine: for you, masking means the engine is revving constantly, even when parked. That steady drain pushes cortisol and adrenaline through your system day after day. In fact, one study found cortisol (the stress hormone) climbs nearly 50% higher when an ADHD brain is in “masking mode,” treating every text or conversation like a high-stakes. No wonder so many ADHDers talk about being “tapped out” by nightfall.The breakdown can look like burnout or even depression. Burnout may start targeted (you feel okay at home but depleted at work), whereas depression spreads gloom into all areas. The difference can blur when masking for years: you might not even recognize yourself under the layers of effort. Some call it an identity crisis – when the role you've played for so long crowds out who you actually are. Teachers and therapists note that people rapidly “unmasking” often feel lost at first, confused about what they truly feel versus what they've performed for so long.Chronic masking even shows up in our bodies. It turns out that intense mental effort – like keeping a fake version of you running all day – activates the same inflammation pathways as physical traum. In other words, the stress of constant performance can undermine your immune system and heart health just like chronic physical stress. People who have masked intensely for years sometimes develop exhaustion-related illnesses in mid-life (autoimmunity, chronic pain, etc.) at higher rates. The data is sobering: extreme mental strain is linked with roughly a 23% higher risk of heart disease and 50% higher risk of Type 2 diabetes.None of this means your experience is exaggerated or “all in your head” – it's very real. Masking might start as a child's coping trick, but it can become a hidden crisis of burnout and self-alienation. When we say “exhaustion in between,” we mean the haze between two states: who you pretend to be (masked) and who you hope to be (unmasked). That haze is filled with stress, self-doubt, and second-guessing everything you say and do.The Path to UnmaskingSo how do you step out of that haze? Psychologists and coaches emphasize that unmasking is a gradual process. It's not an all-or-nothing revelation; it's more like slowly lowering the mask corner by corner. First, you need safe spaces – people or places where you feel accepted even if you slip up. That might be a close friend who knows you have ADHD, a sympathetic coworker, or an ADHD support group. In these environments you can practice just being a little more you.Awareness is the first step. Start by recognizing the ways you've been masking. Make a list (mental or written) of behaviors you do to hide your symptoms. Maybe note times you felt especially drained. As one psychologist suggests, once you see your own patterns, “you can begin making small changes to live more authentically – without the exhaustion.”. Small changes might be as simple as choosing one meeting to not take perfect notes, or allowing yourself one moment of stimming where it feels safe. Each little crack in the facade eases the pressure.You do not have to do it alone. Working with an ADHD coach or therapist can provide support for this journey. They can help you build confidence in your unmasked self and develop coping techniques for tough moments. Support groups (online or in-person) are also powerful – hearing others' stories of unmasking can make you feel understood, and you'll pick up practical tips. Remember: there's no shame in needing a plan or support to shed layers you've held onto for years.Importantly, you have a right to yourself. Unmasking may feel scary at first – you might worry about disappointing people or losing opportunities. Indeed, relationships built on the masked you may strain when the real you emerges. But authenticity also invites real connections. Let people see why you needed that mask, and give them a chance to adjust. Most find that gradual honesty (e.g., letting someone know “I'm actually not great at meetings” or “I need a second to think, I have ADHD”) can lead to more empathy and support in the long run.Tips & StrategiesPractical Daily ToolsUse timers and structure: Make time visible. Set a Pomodoro timer (25 minutes focus, 5 minutes break) for tasks. Many ADHDers swear by visual timers or apps that count down work segments. This keeps your brain anchored and reminds it that it's okay to pause. Timers can also break hyperfocus and prompt you to check in with yourself.Practice mindfulness (even briefly): Mindfulness isn't about chanting om; it's simply noticing what's happening now. Try a two-minute breathing exercise or a grounding check (e.g. count five things you see) when you feel off-balance. Training attention like a muscle can gradually make it easier to stay present, instead of slipping into panicked self-monitoring.Body doubling: Work or study next to someone else, even if they're doing their own thing. This can be a friend, coworker, or a virtual co-working session. The presence of another person gives your brain a subtle social cue to stay on task. It sounds funny, but many ADHDers find it helps them focus and not procrastinate as much.Externalize information: Use sticky notes, apps, whiteboards – anything that gets things out of your head and into the world. Write to-do lists, set multiple alarms, and put reminders in plain sight. Our brains with ADHD often work better with external structures. For example, if you always misplace your keys, have a dedicated hook or dish for them; if you forget errands, put notes on your phone's home screen. This isn't laziness – it's smart strategy.Transition rituals: Create small routines to “switch gears” at key times. For instance, light a candle or play a specific song when you start work, and then another cue (closing a planner, stretching) when you end. These rituals tell your brain “work is starting (or ending)” and can reduce the jarring overwhelm of sudden task changes.Therapeutic Strategies and SupportTalk to an ADHD-aware therapist or coach: A professional who gets ADHD can help you unpack why you feel the need to mask, and teach coping tools that don't involve hiding. For example, they may work on managing emotional overload (RSD), building self-esteem, or creating realistic plans for ADHD challenges. As one source notes, “seek out a therapist or coach who understands what you are going through”. They can guide you through practices like cognitive reframing or co-regulation exercises.Join support groups or communities: You aren't alone in this. Connecting with others who share ADHD (in support groups, forums, or social media) can be a game-change. Sharing stories helps you feel validated and less isolated. You'll learn “if they do it too, it's not just me,” which is huge for reducing shame. Some groups even offer body doubling sessions or accountability partners, blending practical help with empathy.Consider medication or coaching: If you haven't already, speak to a medical professional about ADHD medication or executive function coaching. While not for everyone, proper medication can reduce the intensity of symptoms, which in turn can lighten the masking load (for instance, less need to hyper-focus or suppress stims). An ADHD coach or organizer can help set up routines and accountability that make daily life smoother. Even simple tips like using noise-cancelling headphones in an overstimulating class or workspace can cut sensory overload and ease the urge to mask your discomfort.Practice self-regulation techniques: Techniques like co-regulation (doing relaxation exercises with a trusted person) can help you manage anxiety during unmasking. Breathing exercises, grounding, or gentle movement breaks (take a short walk, stretch) can also break cycles of panic when you feel exposed. The key is to have these strategies ready before you need them, so you don't default to the old mask under stress.Mindset Shifts and Self-CompassionReframe your self-talk: Change the narrative from “I'm being fake” to something kind like “I'm doing what I need to feel safe right now. This simple mental shift reduces self-blame. Remember: masking began for a reason. It was a way to protect yourself in situations that felt unsafe or unaccommodating. Treat masking as what it is – a survival strategy – not a character flaw.Set realistic expectations (“Good enough is enough”): One therapist advises: you don't have to be perfect. If you mentally prepare for an outing by saying “I will do okay, but I might feel tired and that's fine,” you're giving yourself permission to be human. Lower the stakes. If a conversation goes a bit off script, remind yourself it's not the end of the world. You're learning new habits, so expect some wobble at first.Take structured breaks: Masking is tiring; build in after-care. Plan downtime after social or high-mask situations. For instance, if you have a big meeting, schedule a 15-minute quiet break afterward to decompress (read, meditate, or just stare at the ceiling). These “mask rest” breaks are not indulgence but necessary refueling. Even during an event, sneak micro-breaks: a few deep breaths in the restroom or a moment outside can reset your system.Engage in self-care rituals: After masking sessions, do something comforting: perhaps rock on a chair, hug a pillow, doodle, or listen to your favorite music. Physical movement can help shake off tension. Journaling can also help: write down what parts of the interaction felt draining, what felt okay, and what small things helped you cope. Each insight is gold for next time.Offer yourself compassion: Recognize the courage it takes to gradually be yourself. Each time you unmask a little, you're practicing bravery. When you catch yourself slipping into shame or “shoulding” on yourself, gently pause and remind: You deserve care and acceptance, even while you're figuring this out. Affirmations like “I am learning to be me” or celebrating small wins (e.g. “I spoke up for my needs today”) reinforce a kinder inner voice.ConclusionMasking may have been part of our childhood toolkit for surviving a world that didn't seem built for us, but carrying that weight forever is optional. As research shows, chronic masking comes with costs – physical, emotional, relational – that we are not obligated to pay indefinitely. By understanding why we masked and how it wears us down, we gain the power to change course. Unmasking is a journey of self-discovery and patience. It means gradually replacing exhaustion with authenticity. It means finding and creating spaces where our real selves can breathe.Finally, remember: there is no single “right way” to do this. Some days you'll need the mask a little longer; other days you'll fling it off completely. Each step toward honesty is progress. Embrace the support around you, use the tools that work, and give yourself credit. Over time, you'll find that as the masks slowly lift, life feels lighter – and so do you.This Substack is reader-supported.

Veteran and author Jon Flatt joins host Kingsley Scott for a raw conversation about war, identity, and what it really takes to heal. Through the lens of “Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em,” Jon explains how the on/off rhythm of the Guard followed him home, why the “switch” wouldn't stay off, and how recovery began when he told the truth—to himself first. He shares the decision to move his family to Ireland, the work of not “becoming the threat” at home, and the small, repeatable actions that helped him start again.Highlights:• Truth before forgiveness and why minimizing your story keeps you stuck• Hyper-vigilance at the dinner table and learning to dial it down without losing safety• One-outlet practice (fishing in Jon's case) as training for calm, not a luxury• Parenting while healing and leaving the light on for others coming behind you• Staying close to your people and advocating for yourself with systems and benefitsStart here:Say one true sentence in the mirror, pick one healthy outlet and schedule it, and text one person who “speaks your language.” Keep coming.Find the book by searching “Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em” on Amazon, or request a digital manuscript at johnflatauthor.com.More from VET S.O.S.

Akash Gupta of GreyOrange talks about warehousing and inventory challenges; taking a vendor-agnostic approach to tech; and hyper-intelligent orchestration. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:   [03.43] Akash's background and how and why he co-founded GreyOrange. “When we were in college, we were building humanoids… But the technology wasn't mature enough, so we explored industries that could really benefit from a combination of AI and robotics – and supply chain came to light!” [06.33] The story behind the name GreyOrange, and why culture is key to business success. [08.25] An overview of GreyOrange – who they are, what they do, and how they help their customers. [13.27] The ideal client for GreyOrange. [15.55] The current challenges and considerations in warehousing and inventory, and why optimizing inventory is crucial. “Optimizing inventory and working capital has been top of mind for the last few years, and balancing between warehouses and stores – how do you make sure you're able to use every single node?” [19.56] How industry challenges, and the way businesses are thinking about their changing operations, are driving GreyOrange's approach to innovation with flexibility, machine learning and commercial collaboration in mind. [23.40] GreyOrange's warehouse orchestration solution GreyMatter, and what makes it ‘hyper-intelligent.' “It's looking at every single aspect of the warehouse every second, and evolving the decision that can be taken for the next second.” [27.54] The challenge of change management, and how GreyOrange encourage tech adoption by empowering teams. “Change management is still a challenge in the industry… When you go from a manual warehouse to a technology-driven warehouse, leadership can feel that they're losing control, so we give them enough real-time visibility and power to influence decisions.” [31.51] From 30-40% cost-per-unit reduction to 250 thousand units picked per day, how working with GreyOrange drives big results in warehouses. [35.01] GreyOrange's approach to multi-robot infrastructures. “We support a wide spectrum of AMR's… GreyOrange is pretty much the only software that can bring all of these technologies together.” [37.45] The growth of GreyOrange's other flagship solution, gStore. “We've gone from having no presence in retail stores in 2022 to now operating more than 3,000 stores, connected to tens of thousands of IoT devices.” [41.00] Why GreyOrange put a focus on store associates to create a better experience for the end consumer, and why that's crucial for successful tech adoption. [43.19] A case study exploring how GreyOrange helped Fabletics with store inventory accuracy, boosting sales across their store network by 15-20% and increasing customer satisfaction, in only nine months. [46.03] Why GreyOrange is investing in building even more intelligent foundational models for warehouses and stores in 2026.   RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED:   Head over to GreyOrange's website now to find out more and discover how they could help you too.

In this episode, Tina Tower dives into the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on the course creation industry. Tina reflects on her early predictions about AI, how those have played out, and what has really changed in the last 12–24 months—especially when it comes to information accessibility and course value. She offers actionable insights on how to future-proof your business, leverage AI as a superpower, and why human connection and transformation remain at the heart of successful online programs. Resources: Join Her Empire Builder: https://www.herempirebuilder.com/join ChatGPT (for general AI tasks) CastMagic (podcasting support) Canva AI (AI-generated design & artwork) Delphi AI (Tina's AI-powered personal guide, launching soon) Replit, Lovable (tools for customizable learning paths) Key Topics Covered Current AI Landscape: ChatGPT has become the leading AI tool for many tasks. Other platforms used include Cast Magic for podcasting, Canva AI for design, and the soon-to-be-rolled-out Delphi AI for tailored support. AI's Impact on Course Creation: Information is cheaper and more accessible than ever. Traditional evergreen online courses without community or support are becoming obsolete (“the $2K course is dead”). Differentiators now include guided transformation, community, and genuine support. Future Trends in AI & Learning: Rise of AI-powered personalized learning paths (“choose your own adventure” style courses). Hyper-personalized feedback via coaching bots and simulated mentors (for example, Tina's Delphi AI project). Courses shifting focus from information delivery to actual transformation. The Ongoing Value of Human Connection: Emotional intelligence, lived experience, and real-time human interaction are irreplaceable. Personal stories, community, and live events will continue to be major value drivers. Even with AI answering questions, people crave and pay for real human support and engagement. Practical Strategies for Course Creators: Use AI to free up your time by automating backend and admin tasks. Invest more energy into coaching, community, and personalized connection with members. Stay updated, experiment with new AI tools, but don't rush into unproven platforms. Remember, AI enhances your business but does not replace the unique value you bring. AI is reshaping online learning, but it can't replace the power of human connection. The real opportunity is in blending AI efficiency with personal support and community, creating programs that deliver transformation—not just information.

Why does nationalism look less like a mistake and more like a structural feature of modern capitalism? In this provocative and deeply researched episode, Professor Zlatko Hadžidedić explains why nationalism often functions as the social glue that stabilizes capitalism's contradictions and why the current phase of hyper-capitalism risks producing more authoritarian nationalisms over the next decades. Using Bosnia (the Lisbon maps and Dayton aftermath), the Balkans, and contemporary flashpoints as case studies, Zlatko connects theory to concrete history: how imperial legacies, external power strategies, and the logic of the military-industrial complex help produce recurring conflict. He also shows how consumer tech, information flows, and media narratives help pacify populations while power consolidates.   He explains: ⬛ Why nationalism can be a structural necessity for capitalism ⬛ How “hyper-capitalism” creates conditions for authoritarian nationalism ⬛ The Lisbon maps & Bosnia case study — why partition was engineered and what it means today ⬛ How information, phones and consumer culture shape political consent ⬛ Why great-power strategies sometimes manufacture zones of instability ⬛ What citizens and leaders can do to cultivate nuance, media literacy, and democratic resilience   ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction: Capitalism, Nationhood & the Big Question 03:10 - Thesis: “No Capitalism Without Nationalism” — the argument explained 08:45 - The Lisbon maps & Bosnia: how partition was made possible 13:30 - From Yugoslavia to the Balkans: external influence and local politics 18:20 - Imperial legacies, Mackinder & geopolitical strategy 22:45 - Hyper-capitalism defined: inequality, pacification, and authoritarian pressures 27:50 - Phones, streaming & control: the tech-consumer pact 32:40 - Gaza, Ukraine & manufactured instability — strategic utility of conflict 37:55 - Predictions: the next 20–30 years of nationalism and power 42:10 - Practical takeaways: media literacy, nuance, and democratic repair 46:00 - Closing reflections & recommended reading   This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in political economy, history, geopolitics, and media, especially listeners who want frameworks that connect the dots between capitalism, nationalism, and contemporary conflict.

Justin Wales, Head of Legal for the Americas at Crypto.com, and author of The Crypto Legal Handbook visits the show to provide his unique perspective on pivoting from a career in Constitutional Law, including work on high-profile appellate cases like the Obergefell gay marriage decision, to becoming a trailblazer in crypto law and blockchain technology.  He shares his serendipitous journey stemming from a law school article that launched his legal career and his subsequent deep dive into crypto, sparked by WikiLeaks accepting Bitcoin donations. The discussion covers the evolution of his practice to one of the first successful crypto legal groups at a large law firm. Justin emphasizes the necessity for any lawyer in the space to use the technology and become a generalist to navigate the multi-jurisdictional and rapidly evolving industry.  Finally, the conversation touches on the critical distinction between centralized finance (CeFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi), and his outlook that crypto's infrastructure will ultimately serve as the underpinning for future advancements like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT). Episode Highlights:  * Justin's start in Constitutional Law, beginning with a law school paper on unconscionable cruise ship employment contracts that led to Supreme Court brief writing.  * The shift to crypto law: WikiLeaks and Bitcoin's role in it introduced Justin to blockchain technology.  * Building a pioneering crypto legal practice at a large firm in the early days (2013-2015).  * Why the best in-house lawyers, especially in a cutting-edge field like crypto, need to be generalists, not hyper-specialized.  * The inspiration and philosophy behind writing The Crypto Legal Handbook—creating an affordable, regularly updated, and candid resource for students and practitioners.  * Advice for aspiring crypto lawyers today: the field is more mature and requires blending traditional financial regulatory expertise with an industry-wide approach.  * The fundamental distinction between Centralized Finance (CeFi) and the legally complex, more innovative world of Decentralized Finance (DeFi).  * Rule #1 for Crypto Lawyers: Why you must use the technology and the risks of lawyers who are frozen in time with their technical understanding.  * High-level overview of US policy efforts to regulate crypto, including the GENIUS Act (Stablecoins) and the Clarity Act (Securities vs. Commodities regulation).  * Justin's crystal ball: The long-term view that crypto infrastructure will eventually become an unseen layer beneath the rise of AI agents and IoT.   Things We Talk About in this Episode    * Book: The Crypto Legal Handbook by Justin Wales  * Book: Read Write Own by Chris Dixon  * JustinWales.com (for more information on the book and author)

Have you ever found yourself thinking, "It's just easier if I do it myself"? Perhaps you're the one everyone relies on—the strong, dependable figure who always seems to have it all together.

And it might be the very thing keeping you stuck at the $100k ceiling.

Voices is a new mini-series from Humanitarian AI Today. In daily five-minute flashpods we pass the mic to innovators, researchers and practitioners on the humanitarian front lines, delivering real-time news on how they are building, testing and collaborating on uses of artificial intelligence. In this flashpod, Eric Talbert, Co-founder of MedCycle Network joins Humanitarian AI Today host Brent Phillips to discuss Eric's background in human rights, supply and logistics, MedCycle's work, their partnership with the Hellman Foundation and ways MedCycle is experimenting with artificial intelligence. MedCycle Network facilitates the collection of donated, high-quality surplus medical supplies and equipment so they can be distributed to local safety net clinics. Eric and Brent discuss challenges that organizations like MedCycle and similar organizations like MedShare and Partners for World Health share around working with hospitals and companies to prevent medical supplies from being discarded that could otherwise be donated to needy healthcare providers struggling to care for their communities. They talk how AI-powered decentralized surplus supplies ecosystems can impact and inform choices made around the trash barrel in real-time, to redirect usable supplies to clinics in need on an item-by-item basis.

Episode 300 highlights the raw submission of a betrayed partner struggling with a husband who pressures her sexually despite her clear “not yet.” He gawked, grabbed, and dismissed her boundaries while excusing his behavior as a “high sex drive.” His minimization left her doubting herself, wondering if she was the problem. This dynamic illustrates how gaslighting erodes self-trust and places partners in a painful double bind: desiring genuine intimacy but being bombarded by objectification and entitlement.We define the difference between healthy touch and hyper-sexualization. Healthy touch always begins with safety and consent; it grows out of affection, connection, and respect. Hyper-sexualization, by contrast, is compulsive and dismissive of boundaries, reducing a partner to body parts and creating an environment of pressure and fear. True intimacy is never about entitlement—it's about connection, balance, and honoring the partner's voice.For betrayed partners, the call is to trust your body, your instincts, and your discomfort—it is valid and it is telling you something. For porn/sex addicts as well as partners with a sexual entitlement mindset and behaviors, the message is equally clear: recovery cannot be paused, trauma is not a free pass, and love means relinquishing control and honoring boundaries. Healing is possible, but it begins when both partners reject coercion and embrace the hard work of building safety first.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:  When Touch Feels Like Pressure:  Breaking Free from Over-Sexualization Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

It's the sure-fire strategy that makes you overconfident. It looks like this: The copy's loud. Aggressive. Alpha-male on a double dose of adderall. It's practically SCREAMING at you to buy. And you know what? Sometimes it works. But not most of the time. Especially these days. Hyper-aggressive copy is just a huge risk you don't want to take. And here's why: While it's true that pressure might trigger an action, it almost never creates belief. And belief is what you need to MAKE the sale… and KEEP the sale. My co-host Nathan is going to lead us out of the land of testosterone intoxication and into an exciting new world, of calmly and irreversibly creating BELIEF in your copy… so pressure isn't necessary. Because when they believe… they buy. Find out more about Nathan's approach at https://cultishcontent.com/ Download.

Ryan Doran is a Partner in Lead Creative and Head of UI/UX for Turkois, with over 17 years of experience in monetization strategy, payments, and scaling technology businesses.  Danny Smith is a Solution Architect at Stripe, working on AI-driven commerce innovations and partnering with AWS. In this episode, Ryan and Danny explore the critical intersection of pricing strategy and payment infrastructure, discussing how AI is transforming both the mechanics of pricing implementation and the challenge of pricing AI products themselves.   Why you have to check out today's podcast: Understand the difference between billing systems and payment systems and how they work together. Learn why flexible technical infrastructure is essential for modern pricing strategies. Discover how AI is enabling hyper-personalized shopping experiences with built-in guardrails.   "Your pricing strategy is only as good as the background tech that you have to operationalize it. If you have a legacy monolithic stack and you can come up with these great strategies, but it takes you six months to implement that strategy, then you've probably been left behind already." – Danny Smith   Topics Covered: 02:15 - How Ryan got into pricing through product development and payment flows. 04:30 - Danny's journey from cloud architecture to payments infrastructure. 06:45 - The difference between billing systems and payment systems. 10:20 - Why new billing companies continue to emerge despite established players. 14:15 - How AI is accelerating data utilization in pricing decisions. 17:30 - The dual challenge: using AI for pricing vs. pricing AI products. 19:45 - Hyper-personalized shopping with AI agents and built-in guardrails. 23:10 - The ethical concerns of "sleazy price segmentation" and AI pricing. 28:40 - Agent-to-agent negotiations and policy engines. 31:20 - How AI products are changing pricing models: tokens, credits, and hybrid approaches. 35:15 - Creating "action units" to translate technical complexity into business value.   Key Takeaways: "Data is basically the new margin. What you can do with it is only gaining in value." - Ryan Doran "We've implemented API level technology that will create a budget... and it will create a virtual debit card on the backend for that exact amount, tied to today as an expiration date, tied to that particular transaction." - Danny Smith   People / Resources Mentioned: Turkois: https://turkois.io/ Vanilla POS: https://vanillapos.io/ Stripe: https://stripe.com Perplexity: https://www.perplexity.ai/ OpenAI: https://openai.com/ Chargebee, Chargeify, Zora: Alternative billing platforms MCP Server: Technology enabling AI agents to interact with Stripe for dynamic pricing   Connect with Ryan Doran: Website: https://turkois.io/ Email: ryan@turkois.io   Connect with Danny Smith: Contact through Ryan Doran   Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com  

What would change in your business if you treated time as your most valuable commodity and priced every hour accordingly? In this episode of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast, Tracy Hayes sits down with luxury agent and team leader Gail DeMarco. Gail drops the polite filter and lays out how she built a near billion in lifetime sales by staying lean, obsessing over data, and designing a brand that shows up everywhere. From four open houses every weekend to hyper-focused farming and YouTube consistency, she explains exactly how she creates momentum in new markets and turns listings into market share. The conversation digs into hiring for coachability, running a tight listing operation, delegating fast, and engineering deals with assumable loans and lender-powered rate buydowns. It is an unvarnished masterclass on standards, time discipline, and creative structure in a tough market, capped with faith-driven leadership and straight talk on saying no to bad fits.

Tennessee State University students mobbed a group of peaceful “Fearless Debaters” in MAGA hats, forcing them to pack up and leave campus, when their intention was simply to discuss DEI in a civil way. On this episode of “Fearless,” Jason Whitlock explains why the TSU students look like racist white people from the 1950s and '60s and why so many black people in America are racist. Political commentator David Khait joins the show to weigh in on the TSU incident. Later in the show, T.J. Moe and Steve Kim discuss with Whitlock C.J. Stroud upsetting Texans and Astros fans by sporting hats from other teams; Bill Belichick embarrassing himself, again, by appearing on the cover of US Weekly with his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson; broadcasters criticizing Matt Shaw for missing a game to attend Charlie Kirk's memorial; and Keith Olbermann apologizing for threatening Scott Jennings on X, only to continue insulting him online.

Its an alien way to explore an alien place, and the mystery just keeps getting deeper all the way through.

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD Educational Pearls: What is a Nursemaid's Elbow? A condition in which an elbow gets partially pulled out of place (a radial head subluxation) Usually happens in kids under 5 because the ligaments around their elbow are still loose. A common situation is when an adult pulls a child up by the hand or swings them by the arms. The sudden tug causes the radius to slip out of its normal spot at the elbow joint. How are they identified? These don't normally need an xray The child will often hold their arm close to their side and refuse to use it There's usually no swelling or obvious deformity. Treatment? Reduce the radial head subluxation. There are two possible techniques: Flexion and supination. Start with the arm extended and pronated. Then supinate the forearm. Then bend the elbow up all the way. Hyper-pronation. One hand stabilizes just above the child's elbow, the other holds the wrist. Start with the arm extended. Hyperpronate the forearm. Listen/feel for a click The child is normally back to normal quickly, if not get the xray Which is better? Hyperpronation (Aksel, 2025) 10% first attempt failure rate Flexion-pronation has a 25% first attempt failure rate References Aksel G, Küka B, İslam MM, Demirkapı F, Öztürk İ, İşlek OM, Ademoğlu E, Eroğlu SE, Satıcı MO, Özdemir S.
