Today, I'm breaking down why most difficult conversations fail. The problem usually isn't that people don't know what to say. It's that they skip steps and jump straight into solutions before establishing that there is an issue, that the issue needs to be addressed, and that someone is actually taking responsibility for it. I'm giving you the three-step structure I use for difficult conversations: agreement, intention, and resources. Follow the order, get clear on who owns the problem, and only then figure out what support is needed. Show Notes: [02:45]#1 First, agreement. [16:28]#2 Confirm that they intend to address the issue. [23:23]#3 Identify the support needed. [25:31] Recap Next Steps: --- Execution is not a talent.   It is a standard.

Sometimes, you need to borrow someone else's belief in you until you build enough belief in yourself. In this episode, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff shares how the people around us can shape what we believe is possible. She reflects on how her father believed in her interest in sport and performance psychology before she could fully see the path herself, allowing her to "borrow" his confidence. Cindra explains why confidence is social and why building your winning team matters. The people who have your ear can strengthen your belief, remind you what you're capable of, and help quiet your inner critic when you're pursuing something difficult. In this episode, you'll learn how to: • Identify the people who truly believe in you • Borrow their words when your inner critic gets loud • Surround yourself with a winning team that strengthens your confidence • Become a "confidence lender" by telling others what you see in them • Use someone else's belief as a bridge toward believing in yourself Cindra also challenges you to think of someone who believed in you before you believed in yourself. Thank them, then look for someone in your own life who might need to borrow a little confidence from you today.

I went to Costco to buy plants for my sister and walked into what turned out to be a full-on plant drop with a crowd of passionate collectors. I had no idea what I was doing, but that experience cracked open something real about goal-setting. The reason most people feel stuck or behind is not lack of effort. It is that they have never truly defined what they are after. In this episode, I break down how knowing even the basics of what you want helps you eliminate the wrong options faster, and why asking for help from people who know more than you is one of the most underrated performance moves you can make. Key Takeaways There is a market for every passion and skill set. Do not dismiss what you are good at because the right audience exists for it. Vague goals guarantee vague results. 'Make more money' is not a goal until you define exactly what that means. Knowing what you do NOT want is just as powerful as knowing what you do want. Elimination is a legitimate path to the right target. You do not have to be an expert in everything. You just need to know the right people who are experts in the things you are not. Surrounding yourself with people who think differently than you sharpens your decision-making and expands your perspective. Action Steps Write your top goal down right now and then ask yourself if someone handed you a dollar bill, would that technically satisfy it. If yes, redefine it with specific numbers, dates, or outcomes. List three things you already know you do NOT want in your next goal pursuit and use that list to start eliminating options that do not align. Identify one person in your circle who thinks differently than you and ask for their honest read on a goal you are currently chasing. Notable Quote Getting to your goal isn't always about what you're chasing. Sometimes it's about eliminating the things that aren't the right thing for you.

Most drug discovery genomic data comes from a thin slice of the world, and that bias follows every decision downstream. Your team can run a Mendelian randomization study on 35,000 patients and still walk away with a single signal that doesn't even apply to the population you care about. If your phenotype definitions are fuzzy, more data won't save you. Erika Kvikstad is a computational biologist who led precision medicine for cardiovascular disease at Bristol-Myers Squibb, working on therapies including Camzyos for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. She now works independently on genomic data equity, focused on how reference populations shape everything from target discovery to clinical trial recruitment. You'll get a practical look at how to evaluate real-world data vendors, why heart failure is nearly impossible to define cleanly from billing codes, and where statistical power breaks down even with tens of thousands of patients. Erika also explains how her team used AI to reconstruct missing imaging data and validate cardiomyopathy diagnoses at scale. This episode covers GWAS studies, Mendelian randomization, UK Biobank, proteome-wide analysis, and the practical gap between biobank-scale data and disease-specific cohorts. It's built for data and analytics leaders working in life sciences who need to understand where genomic bias enters their pipeline, not just that it exists. Clarification Around 57:58–58:24, in discussing the proteome-wide Mendelian randomization study, Erika moved quickly between two related findings. BTN3A2 was identified as a candidate associated with ischemic stroke and potential immune-modulatory biology. Separately, single-cell expression data helped contextualize other candidate signals, including some with enriched expression in cardiomyocyte populations. Cardiomyocyte-enriched expression was not a specific finding for BTN3A2.

Most CRE brokers are afraid of being too persistent. Rod Santomassimo flips that fear on its head: if no one has ever called you a pain in the ass, you haven't come close to your potential. This episode breaks down the presence pyramid, the difference between marketing and prospecting, and why building a relentless personal brand in your market is the most reliable path to inbound business. Key Takeaways Marketing gets you known; prospecting gets you deals — you need both Identify your top 100 market influencers and get known by them systematically Use all three levels of the presence pyramid — personal, events, and digital Monthly physical touches (market reports, newsletters) to your top 100 are non-negotiable Build YOUR personal brand — not just your company's brand Post daily on social, email 2–3x per week, and always provide genuine value Being called a PITA isn't a failure — it's proof you're showing up more than everyone else

Porn addiction and loneliness are often more connected than we realize. What feels like a powerful sexual craving may sometimes be your brain reaching for something deeper: connection, belonging, emotional relief, or the experience of feeling wanted and known.In this episode, I sit down with Chris Coursey of Thrive Today to explore why pornography can begin to feel like a form of connection—and why that “connection” ultimately leaves us hungry for more.Chris introduces the concept of “pseudo-joy,” a counterfeit version of the relational joy our brains are designed to experience with real people. Porn can offer stimulation, attention, fantasy, and temporary relief without requiring vulnerability, patience, rejection, conflict, or the other challenges of genuine relationships. But because it cannot provide real attachment or belonging, we can walk away feeling even more lonely and disconnected than before.We also explore the relationship between porn addiction and attachment, why some men struggle to recognize or express their emotional needs, and how earlier relational experiences can shape the ways we respond to loneliness, stress, rejection, and overwhelm.One of my favorite parts of this conversation is that Chris does not leave us with insight alone. We talk about practical relational and emotional regulation skills that men can begin developing right now.We also discuss something I believe is incredibly important for porn addiction recovery: relational skills are recovery skills. Learning how to listen, receive feedback, recognize when another person needs space, stay emotionally present, and build genuine relationships can reduce our dependence on counterfeit forms of connection.The goal is not simply to remove pornography from your life. It is to build a life increasingly filled with the things pornography was trying to imitate—joy, belonging, emotional safety, rest, purpose, love, and real connection.CHRIS COURSEY LINKS:>> RELATIONAL TEMPERATURE FREEBIEThis free assessment measures your ability to stay relationally engaged:Identify your particular triggersRecognize when you're losing joyLearn how to stay in joy!>> CHRIS' ONLINE FEATURESWhether podcast or video interviews, articles or book reviews, you'll find Chris Coursey spreading joy and encouragement all over the internet!Link to Blog Article for this EpisodeVisit No More Desire Tools for Recovery for recovery tools and training, the free online community, my free eBook, Workshop, The RAIL Method ™ and more to help you break free from porn.If you're tired of trying to quit porn on your own, the No More Desire Academy gives you a structured path to recovery through coaching, brotherhood, practical tools, and step-by-step training.

Today we are talking about something that I think we all need to know about…  How to reset your dopamine. And before you think this is going to be one of those extreme episodes where I tell you to throw your phone into the ocean, stop drinking coffee, sit in a dark room for three days and eliminate everything fun from your life… That is absolutely not what we are doing. Because dopamine isn't bad. We need dopamine. Dopamine is part of what makes us want things. Pursue things. Work toward goals. Get up and go. The problem is that we are living in an environment where we can get enormous amounts of stimulation with almost zero effort. Open Instagram. Refresh your email. Check likes. Open TikTok. Eat something hyper-palatable. Buy something. Get a notification. Watch another episode. Click another video. Check your texts. Pick up your phone because you have 17 seconds with nothing to do. We have essentially eliminated boredom. And I think we need to talk about what that is doing to us. Because I don't think most people have a motivation problem. I think some people have made normal life too boring compared to the stimulation they consume all day long.   Think about this. Working toward a goal is slow. Building a business is slow. Getting stronger is slow. Improving a relationship is slow. Reading a book is slow. Learning something difficult is slow.     But your phone can give you novelty every half second. So what happens when your brain gets accustomed to incredibly stimulating rewards that require almost no effort? The things that actually build an awesome life can start feeling painfully boring.   And THAT is what I want to change today. I've been going deep into what Andrew Huberman, Chris Williamson, Stanford addiction psychiatrist Anna Lembke, Peter Attia and Gary Brecka have discussed around dopamine, reward, pleasure, discomfort and motivation. And there is one massive theme that keeps coming up: We need to stop getting so many rewards without earning them.   We need less cheap dopamine… And more earned dopamine. More accomplishment dopamine. More anticipation. More effort. More challenge. More doing hard things and feeling awesome afterward.   So today we're going to talk about what dopamine actually does, why our modern environment can completely screw with our motivation, what people mean by a dopamine reset, and most importantly… How we actually do it. Not forever. Not perfectly. But intentionally enough that normal life starts feeling interesting again.       Because imagine waking up and actually WANTING to work on your goals. Imagine sitting in your car without immediately opening your phone. Imagine finishing a workout and letting that accomplishment be the reward instead of instantly needing another stimulus. Imagine being fully engaged in dinner. Or a conversation. Or a walk. Or your kids. Or your work. That's what we're after. Not less enjoyment. More enjoyment from the things that actually matter. FIRST… WHAT IS DOPAMINE? Dopamine isn't simply the "pleasure chemical" This is probably the biggest misunderstanding. Dopamine plays a huge role in motivation, pursuit, learning, reinforcement and determining what your brain decides is worth pursuing again. Think less "this makes me happy" and more: "Go get that again." It's a molecule heavily involved in wanting and pursuing. Huberman explains dopamine in terms of baseline and peaks You have a baseline level of dopamine. Then certain experiences generate temporary increases above that baseline. The important part is what happens afterward. A big dopamine peak can be followed by a period where dopamine activity falls below where it was previously. This is part of why something incredible can sometimes leave you feeling strangely flat afterward. The higher and more frequently we chase enormous peaks, the more ordinary activities can start losing their appeal. Think about it like contrast If you eat incredibly sweet processed foods all day… A blueberry doesn't taste very sweet. There isn't anything wrong with the blueberry. Your reference point changed. The same general concept applies here. When your environment becomes filled with intense stimulation… Quiet feels boring. Reading feels boring. Work feels boring. Walking feels boring. A normal conversation feels boring. Your life didn't necessarily become boring. Your stimulation threshold changed. WHAT I MEAN BY "CHEAP DOPAMINE" I'm going to use the phrase cheap dopamine throughout this episode even though scientifically dopamine itself isn't cheap or expensive. What I mean is: A high-reward experience requiring very little effort. Things like: Endless short-form videos Constant social media refreshing Notifications Online shopping Gambling Highly processed foods Video games for hours and hours Constant snacking Drinking Continually checking texts Refreshing email Internet rabbit holes Watching episode after episode after episode Constant novelty And here's the key… None of those things has to be inherently evil. It's the dose. The frequency. And whether you've lost control over your consumption. There's a massive difference between choosing to watch a movie on Saturday night… And being literally unable to stand in an elevator for 25 seconds without checking your phone. That's the part I want us to notice. THE WORLD HAS REMOVED THE WAITING This might be one of the biggest problems. Almost everything used to have some friction. You wanted food? You cooked it. You wanted entertainment? You waited until your show came on. You wanted to talk to your friend? You called them. Maybe they weren't home. You wanted to buy something? You drove somewhere. You wanted information? You found a book. Now? Everything is immediate. Food. Entertainment. Shopping. Attention. Validation. Communication. Information. Novelty. Almost every human desire has an app attached to it. And our brains evolved in an environment where rewards generally required work. Now we can receive reward after reward while lying horizontally on the couch. That is a massive mismatch. THE PLEASURE-PAIN SEESAW One of my favorite explanations comes from Dr. Anna Lembke. She describes pleasure and pain almost like opposite sides of a balance. When we repeatedly push hard toward pleasure… Our brain tries to restore balance. And over time, you may need more of the stimulus just to experience the same effect. This is incredibly obvious with severe addiction. But I think it's useful to recognize much milder versions in ourselves. Have you ever: Opened Instagram for five minutes and 45 minutes disappeared? Finished a show and immediately needed another episode? Finished dessert and started looking for something else sweet? Checked one notification and then somehow checked four different apps? Picked up your phone without consciously deciding to? That automatic reaching is important. You aren't necessarily choosing anymore. You're responding. And I want us to get back into choosing. WHY NOTHING FEELS EXCITING ANYMORE Sometimes people say: "I'm unmotivated." "I don't feel like working." "I can't concentrate." "I'm bored." "I don't really feel excited about anything." Obviously there can be many medical, psychological and situational reasons for those feelings. But there is another question worth asking: How much stimulation are you consuming? Because if you're exposing yourself to novelty constantly… Your brain never gets a chance to be bored enough to create. Never bored enough to think. Never bored enough to solve a problem. Never bored enough to decide what you actually want. We're treating boredom like an emergency. I actually think boredom is incredibly productive. Some of my best ideas happen when there's nothing else coming into my brain. And we are filling every single empty pocket.   DOPAMINE STACKING Huberman talks about something that I think is fascinating: stacking multiple dopamine-producing experiences together. Think about a workout. Exercise itself can be rewarding. But now we add: Pre-workout. Favorite playlist. Phone. Texts. Social media. Energy drink. Maybe stimulants. Maybe a reward meal afterward. Maybe we post the workout and check responses. We've taken one intrinsically rewarding activity and stacked reward upon reward upon reward. And his point isn't that you can never do those things. It's that you don't necessarily want every good experience in life turned up to 100 every single time. Sometimes train without the perfect playlist. Sometimes walk without the podcast. Sometimes drink the coffee without simultaneously scrolling Instagram. Sometimes eat without watching television. Separate the rewards. You don't have to eliminate pleasure. Stop supercharging every experience. LEARN TO LOVE EFFORT This might be my favorite part of the entire episode. We need to stop making the reward exclusively something that comes AFTER the work. "I'll work out and then I can have this." "I'll finish this project and then I'll reward myself." "I'll complete my work and then I'll scroll." There's nothing wrong with celebrating accomplishments. But we also want to train ourselves to associate the effort itself with something positive. Because if the entire purpose of doing something difficult is the reward waiting at the end… The work becomes something you're trying to escape. Instead: "This discomfort means I'm getting stronger." "This is hard because I'm growing." "I'm proud of myself for doing this when I don't feel like doing it." "This is what keeping promises to myself feels like." "This is who I am." That shift is huge. The workout becomes the win. Doing the work becomes the win. Keeping the promise becomes the win. USE DISCOMFORT ON PURPOSE This theme comes up across a lot of these conversations. We're living in an unbelievably comfortable world. Temperature-controlled houses. Food everywhere. Cars. Couches. Entertainment. Delivery. Escalators. Amazon. Everything is optimized to eliminate friction. But voluntary discomfort can be incredibly valuable. Exercise. Walking. Strength training. Running. Sauna. Cold exposure when appropriate and done safely. Doing something physically difficult. Getting outside when conditions aren't perfect. Taking the stairs. Having the difficult conversation. Doing the work you're avoiding. The idea isn't: "Suffering is good." The idea is: Stop organizing your entire life around avoiding discomfort. Because challenge followed by satisfaction is very different from pleasure followed by emptiness. One you earned. One you consumed. We need both fun and hard things. But modern life has heavily tilted us toward consumption. DON'T START YOUR DAY WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S DOPAMINE Here's something I think would change a lot of people's lives. Do not roll over and immediately hand your brain to your phone. Because instantly you've got: Texts. News. Instagram. Email. TikTok. Other people's emergencies. Other people's opinions. Other people's lives. Other people's accomplishments. Other people's bodies. Other people's vacations. Other people's businesses. Other people's problems. Before you've even decided what YOU want your day to look like. I would rather protect that first part of the morning. Wake up. Water. Sunlight. Walk. Workout. Journal. Think. Plan. Work. Whatever your routine is. Just don't immediately flood your brain with novelty. You should decide the direction of your day before an algorithm decides it for you. THE 2.0 DOPAMINE RESET Okay. Here is what I would actually do. Not some insane internet detox. A realistic reset. RULE #1: Identify YOUR cheap dopamine Ask yourself: What do I compulsively reach for? Not what does the internet tell me is bad. What has control over ME? Maybe yours is: Instagram. TikTok. Shopping. Sugar. Video games. News. YouTube. Email. Texting. Something else. Identify the top one or two. Don't try to become a monk overnight. RULE #2: Take a meaningful break from the biggest offender If something truly feels compulsive, consider taking a real period away from it rather than constantly trying to moderate it. Try deleting it for a week. Maybe two. Maybe 30 days. See what happens. You might be shocked by how often your hand reaches for an app that isn't there. That's valuable information. RULE #3: Stop filling every gap This is a HUGE one. We're bringing back empty space. Stand in line. Just stand there. Drive five minutes. No podcast. Walk around the block. No headphones. Sit outside. Do nothing. Take a shower without content playing. Cook dinner without a video. You are retraining yourself to tolerate a lower level of stimulation. And here's the funny thing… After a while it doesn't feel low stimulation. It feels peaceful. RULE #4: Create phone-free zones Pick places where your phone does not belong. Examples: Bedroom Dinner table Gym Family time Bathroom First hour of the morning Last hour before bed Don't rely purely on willpower. Change your environment. Leave the phone somewhere else. Make the bad habit inconvenient. RULE #5: Turn off almost every notification Notifications are someone else deciding when your attention moves. Think about that. Unless something legitimately requires immediate attention… Turn it off. RULE #6: Stop stacking everything Coffee + Instagram + television + food + texting? No. Pick one. Workout + podcast + scrolling between sets + energy drink + Instagram? Simplify it. Let an experience stand alone. Food can just be food. Coffee can just be coffee. A walk can just be a walk. A conversation can just be a conversation. RULE #7: Get your dopamine through pursuit This is the big replacement strategy. You can't just remove things. You need better things to move toward. Exercise. Building something. Learning. Working. Creating. Sports. Relationships. Adventure. Goals. Competition. Skill. Experiences. Meaningful challenges. Get obsessed with something difficult. That is completely different than being addicted to consumption. RULE #8: Do one hard thing every day I love this rule. Every day, intentionally do something that you'd rather avoid. Workout hard. Make the phone call. Send the proposal. Clean the closet. Have the conversation. Finish the project. Run the hill. Get into the cold water if that's safe for you. Walk when you'd rather sit. Do the thing you've been procrastinating. You start creating evidence: "I don't have to feel like doing something in order to do it." That is power. RULE #9: Prioritize sleep Your brain isn't operating independently of your body. If you're chronically sleep-deprived, everything becomes harder. Motivation. Impulse control. Training. Food choices. Emotional regulation. Focus. Peter Attia and Huberman both hammer sleep for a reason. If we're trying to optimize our brain while sleeping five hours… We're focusing on the wrong end of the problem. RULE #10: Morning sunlight and movement Huberman talks frequently about getting outdoor light early in the day to anchor your circadian system. I love pairing that with movement. Outside. Walk. Light. No Instagram. Let your nervous system wake up naturally. It's incredibly simple. And simple things done repeatedly tend to beat complicated hacks. THE 24-HOUR CHALLENGE Here is your challenge. For the next 24 hours: No phone for the first 30 minutes after waking. No social media until you've completed something productive. Turn off unnecessary notifications. No phone while eating. Take one walk without headphones. Do one difficult thing you've been avoiding. No double-screening. If you're watching TV, you're not also scrolling. Put your phone outside your bedroom tonight. Let yourself experience boredom. Notice every time you instinctively reach for stimulation. Don't judge yourself. Observe yourself. Because awareness is the beginning of changing anything. THEN TRY SEVEN DAYS Now let's level it up. For seven days: Reduce your biggest cheap-dopamine behavior dramatically. You don't need to eliminate all pleasure. In fact, please don't. Go to dinner. Laugh. Drink your coffee. Listen to music. Hang with friends. Enjoy your life. This isn't punishment. We're trying to reclaim our ability to enjoy NORMAL things. That's the goal. Less artificial stimulation. More real life. ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION Before you reach for something, ask: Am I choosing this, or am I escaping something? That question can completely change things. Why am I opening Instagram? Because I intentionally decided to spend 15 minutes enjoying it? Fine. Or because this task got difficult? Why am I eating this? Because I'm hungry and I want it? Fine. Or because I'm uncomfortable? Why am I drinking? Because I'm celebrating with friends? Or because I can't tolerate sitting with how I feel? Why am I checking email for the 47th time? Because I'm waiting for something important? Or because working on the project in front of me is harder? That pause between impulse and behavior… That's where your power is. CHEAP DOPAMINE VS EARNED DOPAMINE This is the easiest way I can summarize the episode. Cheap dopamine: Consume. Scroll. Click. Watch. Refresh. Snack. Buy. Escape. Earned dopamine: Build. Train. Create. Learn. Connect. Explore. Compete. Finish. Accomplish. The first category isn't evil. But if the balance of your life is overwhelmingly consumption… Don't be surprised when your motivation disappears. Shift the ratio. More creating. Less consuming. More doing. Less watching. More participating. Less observing. More real life. Less digital life. WE NEED ANTICIPATION BACK I think anticipation is disappearing. When everything is immediately available… There's nothing to look forward to. And looking forward to something is part of the fun. Plan the trip. Wait for Friday night. Save the amazing dessert for dinner. Don't buy everything the second you want it. Put the concert on the calendar. Build toward the race. Earn the reward. Delay things intentionally sometimes. The waiting isn't ruining the experience. The waiting IS part of the experience. YOUR LIFE SHOULD NOT NEED CONSTANT ENTERTAINMENT This might be the line I want you to remember. You should not need to be entertained every minute in order to enjoy your life. Your kids shouldn't either. We need boring car rides. We need afternoons with nothing scheduled. We need conversations without phones. We need walks. We need staring out the freaking window. We need thinking. We need daydreaming. We need opportunities for our brains to say: "Okay… what should we do?" Creativity often appears after the stimulation disappears. THE GOAL IS NOT LOWER DOPAMINE This is important. We're not trying to crush dopamine. We're not trying to become emotionless. We're not trying to avoid things that make us feel amazing. We're trying to protect our ability to feel amazing. That's different. We want the vacation to feel incredible. The concert. The accomplishment. The amazing dinner. The business win. The race. The adventure. The hug. The goal. The experience. We just don't need to manufacture an artificial mini-version of that feeling 800 times between breakfast and lunch. Leave some room. Let your baseline exist without constantly smashing the stimulation button.   Here's what I think is so interesting about all of this. We have designed a world where almost everything that used to require effort can now be accessed instantly. And that sounds like freedom. But if we're not careful… Convenience becomes dependence. Entertainment becomes distraction. Pleasure becomes compulsion. And access becomes addiction. The answer isn't to reject modern life. I'm certainly not giving up my phone. I'm not giving up coffee. I'm not giving up Instagram. I'm not giving up amazing food or concerts or trips or all the fun things. I want MORE life. That's actually the entire point. I don't want to spend my life looking down at a screen getting tiny rewards when there are enormous rewards available by actually participating in life. I want the dopamine from doing the workout I didn't want to do. Building the business. Taking the trip. Making the memory. Trying something new. Getting really freaking good at something. Having an amazing conversation. Being completely present with my kids. Creating something I'm proud of. Doing something hard. That's the dopamine I want more of. And maybe the simplest takeaway from this whole episode is this: Stop making pleasure so easy and effort so optional. Let yourself work for things. Let yourself wait for things. Let yourself be bored. Let yourself struggle. Let yourself anticipate. Let yourself earn some of the really good feelings. Because when we stop trying to make every moment maximally stimulating… Something really cool happens. Normal life starts becoming awesome again. And that is how to be awesome at resetting your dopamine.

With 88 working days left until the end of the year, how will you choose to spend your time? September can bring a 'new pencil case' feeling – a useful opportunity to reset and refocus on what matters most. In this episode, Helen and Sarah share eight questions to help you use the rest of your working year well and wisely. Exploring priorities, time, people and skills, they reflect on their own answers and the actions they're going to take as a result.

This week, learn how John evaluates the current multifamily market and decides whether to buy, sell, or hold. John opens with the question he hears most often from investors in the current portfolio: what is the outlook, and where does the firm stand as a buyer or a seller today? John explains what has changed. Higher interest rates raised the cost of capital and made it harder to find deals that pencil, while higher savings rates gave investors a low risk alternative that did not exist a few years ago. He walks through the framework he uses in response: separate what you cannot control from what you can, start with operations and the value add upside still available, then weigh that against the runway left on the loan. He also makes the case for thinking like a trader of assets, explains why leverage determines who wins a trade, and shares why he believes multifamily fundamentals remain healthy despite the short term pressure in the market.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Key Takeaways Stop spending energy on variables you cannot control Evaluate every deal individually before making portfolio decisions Weigh the value add upside still available against the time left on the loan Never put yourself in a position where you are forced to sell Treat assets as trades and know where your leverage sits Expect forced sellers over the next 12 to 18 months to create buying opportunities     Topics What Investors Are Asking Right Now Investors want to know the outlook and whether the firm is buying or selling Most deals in the portfolio are cash flowing, though not at past distribution levels Why the Market Has Changed Higher interest rates raised the cost of capital and thinned the pool of deals that pencil High yield savings accounts now pay a decent return for far less risk Investors are more cautious after deals that did not perform as projected Focus on What You Can Control John tracks the economy, the Treasury, and the value of the dollar without fixating on them Interest rates in 2027 and election driven policy changes sit outside any operator's control Awareness informs the projection; energy goes toward internal execution Operations Come First Every deal gets reviewed individually for performance, cash flow, and remaining upside If rents can still be pushed and demand is strong, keep executing the business plan Once the value add is captured, the deal moves into a second phase Loan Term Drives the Exit Decision A short runway with the value already captured points toward selling sooner A longer runway with upside remaining supports holding the asset Most deals fall between those two cases and require weighing both factors Selling on Your Terms John is a seller at the right price but wants to stay in control of the timing He expects some operators to be forced to sell over the next 12 to 18 months Groups already exiting at a loss will create opportunities for prepared buyers Why Multifamily Fundamentals Remain Healthy Population growth and the housing shortage have not gone away New construction starts have tapered off after several heavy supply years Midwest markets such as Cincinnati saw smaller swings in both directions The Trade Mindset Brokers talk about assets trading, and John applies the same framing as an investor The mindset centers on a clear business plan and a defined exit instead of an indefinite hold John compares the approach to running a sports team as a general manager Leverage Wins Trades Owning an asset other buyers want is what creates leverage Anyone forced to offload a deal rarely gets the number they wanted Positioning for competition, demand, and a strong story protects value at exit Reading Market Sentiment What buyers are willing to pay matters more than John's own view of value The firm buys when the business plan works and the price makes sense Evaluation is continuous, not a position set in stone      

Are you interested in retaining your best people on your team? It might just be a leadership and culture problem (or opportunity).   For Full Show Notes Visit: https://www.jasonvbarger.com/podcast/retention-culture-problem/   Jason explores why losing your best people isn't just a market condition—it's a leadership and culture problem, and shares a proactive framework to reverse the trend. Please rate and review the podcast to help amplify these messages to others! Summary: In an era of intense competition for top talent, why are so many organizations struggling with a revolving door of their best people? In this solo episode of The Thermostat, Jason V Barger breaks down the reality that employee retention is rarely just a recruitment or compensation issue—it is a direct reflection of an organization's leadership climate. With 57% of employees reporting that a deep distrust in their leadership makes them consider leaving, Jason challenges executives to take immediate ownership of their internal ecosystem. This conversation moves beyond standard HR exit interviews to address the core mechanics of proactive culture building. Jason explores his foundational mantra: "what we allow lingers and what we teach triggers," explaining how toxic behaviors silently suffocate teams and become the default culture when left unaddressed. He then outlines six concrete strategies to transform retention from a defensive panic into a proactive, value-driving competitive advantage. Essential listening for C-Suite executives, HR directors, and team leaders committed to shaping compelling cultures, this episode offers actionable insights on conducting stay interviews, co-creating behavioral standards, and breathing much-needed oxygen into your daily operations. Episode Notes & Timestamps: Intro: Jason welcomes listeners and sets the stage for a conversation on why retention is fundamentally a leadership opportunity. A Milestone Celebration: Thanking the audience as The Thermostat reaches over 345 episodes and continues to grow. The Trust Deficit: Analyzing the staggering statistics that reveal why top talent is actively looking for the exit, including the 57% of employees who consider leaving due to leadership distrust. Allow Lingers vs. Teach Triggers: Deconstructing how toxic behaviors fester into default culture when ignored, and how teaching new habits creates a positive chain reaction. Identify and Intervene: Why the best organizations don't wait for exit interviews and instead proactively conduct "stay interviews" with their top talent. 2 & 3. Articulate and Co-Create: The necessity of clearly defining your future culture and identifying the specific daily actions and behaviors that align with it. Optimize Hiring and Onboarding: How to infuse new hires with your company's cultural DNA and expectations during their critical first 90 days. 5 & 6. Emerging Leaders and Congregation: Investing in the next generation of thermostats and utilizing regional culture summits to realign focus. Questions to Ponder: Jason leaves leaders with reflection prompts to help audit their current retention strategy and calibrate their personal thermostat. Key Takeaways for Leaders: Proactive Intervention: Don't wait for a top performer to give their two-week notice. Identify the people you need to retain right now and proactively intervene to ensure they feel valued and developed. Trigger Positive Habits: Understand that what you allow lingers. Actively address toxic environments and teach clear, expected behaviors to trigger a healthier cultural ecosystem. Continuous Calibration: Culture is not static. Use regional summits, intentional onboarding, and ongoing leadership development to continually breathe oxygen into your team.

I want to tell you about the night I showed up to a packed auditorium in Arkansas and found three people in the seats. Every speaker's nightmare. In this episode, I share why I gave that show everything I had anyway, and what those three people set in motion over the next few years. The lesson goes far beyond speaking. It's about whether your performance depends on the size of the crowd or the quality of what you bring. If you only show up when people are watching, you are building on sand. Key Takeaways High expectations are necessary, but they come with the cost of high disappointment. You have to be ready for both. Your performance cannot be driven by external validation. Likes, applause, and notoriety are real, but they are fleeting and unreliable fuel. Speaking to an audience of one, whether that is literally one person or one specific type of person, creates more connection and impact than trying to appeal to everyone. What you do when nobody is watching determines everything. The seeds you plant in the dark grow into the crowds you speak to in the light. Planting seeds takes time. Growth that looks sudden is almost always the result of years of quiet, consistent effort nobody witnessed. Action Steps Before your next performance, project, or conversation, set your internal standard first. Define what giving your all looks like regardless of who shows up or responds. Identify one person you can pour into today. Not a crowd, not a campaign. One person. Make that your measure of success. Find one skill or habit you can develop right now in the quiet season so that when the spotlight comes, you are prepared rather than blinded. Notable Quote If I can only speak when the crowd is big, I will be on way less stages and have way less opportunities to make an impact.

You know you're supposed to show up. You know the producers you want are watching. But every time you sit down to post, one of two things happens. Either it comes out sounding like a corporate mission statement nobody feels, or you freeze up, stare at the screen, and decide you've got nothing worth saying. Here's what I want you to walk away with today. The producers you want are already watching you online, and they're deciding whether you're a leader worth following. The goal on social is to show up consistently and cast a future they want to be part of, in a voice that sounds like you and not a press release. I'll give you five moves to do that without sounding stiff and without ever running out of things to say. Episode Breakdown [00:01:20] The Mistake That's Keeping Your Content From Recruiting Most leaders post to the wrong audience. They talk to consumers and to agents, the people they sell to, and then they wonder why no producers ever reach out. If everything on your page is about rates, market updates, and closings, a loan officer scrolling by sees nothing that speaks to them. The people you're trying to recruit aren't your customers. They don't care about your rate specials, they care about where you're going, what it's like to be led by you, and whether they'd grow by being on your team. The day I stopped posting like a producer and started posting like a leader, everything changed. [00:02:24] Move 1: See Yourself as a Media Company First Most leaders think of themselves as a mortgage pro who happens to post online now and then. Flip that completely. You're a media company that happens to do mortgages. The moment I started seeing the world through that lens, content stopped feeling like a chore I had to squeeze in and started becoming the business itself. Attention is what earns you the conversation, and content is how you get attention. It isn't a side project, it's the top of your entire recruiting funnel. [00:03:00] Move 2: Lead With You, Not the Platform The leader is the product, the company is not. Every company out there offers basically the same platform, the same comp structure, the same licensing reach. It's a sea of sameness, and sameness never moves anybody. The one thing that sets you apart is you, your value stack, your coaching track record, your vision for the culture. So your content should lead with what you bring, not what your company offers. Producers can get the company anywhere. They can only get you from you. [00:03:40] Move 3: Lead With Team Vision There are three altitudes of vision. Me vision is what you get. Corporate vision is what the company gets. Team vision is what a producer gets by being part of what you're building. Corporate vision is what makes you sound like a press release nobody feels. Team vision, the specific future they get to be part of, is the one that moves people. So when you cast vision on social, cast it at that altitude, the one that answers the only question they're asking, which is what's in it for me. [00:04:15] Move 4: Use Social ID So You Never Run Dry Leaders constantly tell me they have nothing to post, and then they turn around and lead all day long. The framework I coach is Social ID. ID stands for identify and document. Identify what you're already doing as a leader and document it. The one-on-one you just had, the problem you solved this morning, the recruiting conversation that taught you something. You're not inventing content out of thin air and you're not performing, you're just capturing the leadership you're already living. Do that, and you'll never run out of material again. [00:04:55] Move 5: Move From Transactional to Transformational Most producer content is transactional. Closings, numbers, rate updates. It says look what I did. Transformational content says here's what I believe, here's where we're going, here's what I'm learning as a leader. That's the content that builds connection instead of just racking up views. And then you keep showing up, because visibility precedes relevancy. The producers you want will often watch you quietly for months before they ever say a word. Those likes today aren't the point. You're posting for the recruit who's watching right now and hasn't said a word yet. [00:05:42] Why It Works Producers decide who to follow based on who they want to become, and a corporate mission statement gives them nothing to reach for. A clear vision led by a real leader, told through real moments, gives them a future they can see themselves inside. Social ID works because authenticity beats polish every time, and the truest, most magnetic content you have is the leadership you're already doing every single day. Consistency works because trust isn't built in one viral post, it's built over months. The leader who shows up week after week becomes familiar, and over time that familiarity turns into trust, and trust is what finally makes a producer reach out. Winning the algorithm was never the point. The point is being the leader who's already in their feed, showing up with value long before they ever need to make a move. [00:06:53] Your Small Win Tonight Think back over the last two days of leading and write down one moment worth documenting, a conversation, a decision, a problem you solved, something you learned. That one moment is a post, and finding it is your win, because it proves you'll never run out of things to say. [00:07:14] Three Bigger Moves This Week Rewrite your next post so it speaks to a producer you want to recruit instead of a customer you want to close, so your content finally starts attracting the right people. Make one post that leads with your vision and your value as a leader, not your company's platform, so you stand out in that sea of sameness. Then commit to a simple posting rhythm you can hold, because consistency is what turns your page into a recruiting engine, and it teaches your whole team that showing up is a discipline, not a mood. Key Takeaways The producers you want are already watching you online, deciding whether you're a leader worth following. Most leaders post to the people they close, not the people they want to lead. Stop posting like a producer and start posting like a leader. You're not a mortgage pro who posts now and then. You're a media company that happens to do mortgages. The leader is the product, the company is not. Producers can get the company anywhere, they can only get you from you. Cast team vision, the future a producer gets by joining you. Corporate vision is the press release nobody feels. Social ID means identify and document. Capture the leadership you're already living and you'll never run out of material. Visibility precedes relevancy. You're posting for the recruit watching quietly right now who hasn't said a word yet.

S6:E75 What if getting more customers actually made your business worse? That's the paradox Charles Gaudet sees repeatedly. A founder builds a business through hard work, referrals and personal relationships. Success arrives. More customers come in. Employees are hired. Yet instead of gaining freedom, the founder becomes the hub through which nearly everything still has to pass. Queue up this episode of Small Business Stories as Charles Gaudet, CEO of Predictable Profits, explains what he calls the Founder's Trap and why adding more leads, sales or people can deepen it instead of solving it. Charles describes the founder not as someone sitting neatly at the top of an organizational chart, but stuck in the middle of it: chief rainmaker, best closer, decision-maker, client contact and firefighter. And that leads to a larger diagnostic problem. If people don't trust your business to operate without you, growth becomes harder to sustain. If buyers don't understand your unique advantage, more traffic won't necessarily improve conversion. And if you misdiagnose the problem, AI can efficiently give you an answer to the wrong question. That last point creates an especially interesting intersection with Dr. LL's work on misinterpretation risk: sometimes the signal isn't unclear because the answer is bad. It's unclear because we've misunderstood the problem we're trying to solve.

You have set the financial goal. You have done the math. You know exactly how much you need to save every month to get there. And then you watch yourself not do it, not because you do not want it badly enough and not because you are bad with money, but because wanting something and doing something are two completely different muscles. And most people have never learned how to check whether their actions actually align with what they say they want.I am calling that the say-do gap. It is the space between what you say you want and what you actually do, and it shows up in every part of your life, not just your finances. You said you wanted more sleep and then stayed up scrolling. You said you wanted to call your mom more and then never made space in your calendar. In this episode I am sharing the exact exercise I want you to do this week to find your own say do gap that is impacting your financial goals. In this episode you'll learn...[00:05:10] What the say-do gap is and why it is not a willpower or  math problem [00:14:30] Why telling yourself the cleanest version of the story about your spending is the exact thing that keeps the gap open[00:19:15] The 30-day spending exercise that shows you what your bank account says you want versus what you say you want[00:24:40] How to use what you find in your 30-day review to identify your specific gapTune in to this episode of Money Files to learn what the say-do gap is and how identifying yours is the first step to finally closing the space between what you say you want financially and the actions that will actually get you there.Get full show notes and the episode transcript: https://wealthovernow.com/how-to-identify-the-say-do-gap-that-is-keeping-you-from-your-financial-goals/Links mentioned in this episode…Set up a call | Financial Coach Washington, DC | Wealth Over NowDownload my FREE spending plan

Is your "best employee" constantly saving the day—or helping create the problems they keep solving? In many businesses the people who get the most praise rescue angry customers, cover missed shifts, fix broken systems, stay late, and pull projects back from the edge. But when leaders reward only heroic reactions, they can create a workplace where crisis management gets noticed and prevention gets ignored. In this episode of SoTellUs Time, Trevor and Troy Howard explain why the most valuable employee may not be the person who puts out the biggest fires. It may be the person whose systems, training, documentation, and foresight prevent those fires from starting.

What does it really take to create change that lasts? Dr. Andrea Austin welcomes Jennifer Brown for a powerful conversation about the human dimensions of change. Drawing from more than two decades of experience advising organizations on culture, talent, leadership, and transformation, Jennifer shares why successful change requires more than information, urgency, or advocacy. It requires curiosity, emotional support, trust, and the willingness to meet people where they are. The conversation explores the challenges healthcare leaders face as they introduce new technologies such as AI-assisted documentation. Jennifer shares her personal changemaker story, from her early career as a performer and advocate to becoming an organizational change consultant. She reflects on her experience of being closeted as a performer, losing her singing voice, and ultimately discovering how her personal experiences with authenticity, safety, and transformation shaped the work she does today. The conversation also examines the evolution and disruption of DEI, the difference between “calling out” and “calling in,” and how leaders can create psychological safety by making room for difficult conversations. Finally, Jennifer introduces the BANI framework (brittle, anxious, nonlinear, and incomprehensible) and shares the powerful chrysalis metaphor from her book, The Shape of Change. Just as a caterpillar must surrender to transformation before becoming something new, leaders and organizations may need to let go of familiar identities, structures, and definitions of success in order to create what comes next. You'll hear how they: Meet people where they are instead of force-feeding change Identify the fears and concerns driving resistance to new technology Balance inquiry and advocacy when leading transformation Recognize the importance of emotional support alongside information Use “calling in” as an alternative to public shaming and criticism Create psychological safety that allows difficult conversations to strengthen relationships Understand the human lessons behind the disruption of DEI Navigate a BANI world that is brittle, anxious, nonlinear, and incomprehensible Embrace surrender, uncertainty, and transformation through the chrysalis metaphor About the Guest: “Maybe the art of falling apart isn't about failing or breaking down. Perhaps it's about having the courage to let go of who we've been so we can become what's needed next.” – Jennifer Brown Jennifer Brown is a bestselling author, speaker, entrepreneur, and leadership thinker whose work explores how people, organizations, and institutions adapt in times of profound change. For more than two decades, she has advised leaders at some of the world's most influential organizations on culture, talent, and transformation. She is the author of five books, including her latest, The Shape of Change, and her work focuses on leadership, organizational resilience, workforce transformation, and the human dimensions of change in an era of accelerating disruption. Jennifer is also the host of The Will to Change podcast, and serves as the founding luminary for Cocelle's Luminary Exchange, a global community exploring the future of work, leadership, technology, and society.

That chest pain you can't explain, that anger that fires before you can think, that heart you've quietly sealed off since someone broke it. There might be a reason it's still there. Dr. Bradley Nelson spent 18 years as a chiropractor, and what kept showing up led him to a wild realization: about 90% of the physical pain he saw traced back to emotions his patients never fully processed. Anger, grief, and guilt don't just disappear when we bury them, he says. They get trapped in the body, distort its energy, and quietly run the show. About a decade in, he started building a method around what he was seeing: The Emotion Code — and has spent the last 20 years certifying more than 17,000 practitioners in 108 countries. He talks about the “heart wall,” an invisible barrier that around 93% of people build without knowing it, and how taking it down has helped people fall in love, heal from depression, and let go of pain they'd carried for decades. Lewis shares his own story too, a years-long ache in his chest that finally released in a single, almost electric moment during deep therapy work. This one will make you rethink every “unexplainable” symptom, every instant overreaction, every wall you've built without realizing it. You'll walk away wondering what you might be storing, and what could shift the moment you finally let it go.Watch The Emotion Code in Action FREE The Heart Code: The Breakthrough Method to Open Your Heart and Transform Your Life The Body Code: Unlocking your body's ability to heal itself Emotion Code: How to Release Your Trapped Emotions for Abundant Health, Love and Happiness Watch The Emotion Code in Action Free Healing Course Discover Healing Website Dr. Bradley's Instagram Dr. Bradley's Facebook In this episode you will: Uncover why 90% of chronic physical pain traces back to trapped emotional baggage rather than the body itself Identify a Heart-Wall, the invisible barrier 93% of people carry that blocks love, health, and abundance without their knowledge Learn the Emotion Code and Body Code frameworks for locating and releasing inherited and personal trapped emotions Dismantle the belief in unworthiness that quietly sabotages relationships, success, and self-expression Discover how muscle testing taps into the subconscious mind to reveal hidden emotional causes behind pain and behavior Recognize real cases of instant healing, from vanishing rage to eliminated chronic pain, once trapped emotions are cleared For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1974 More SOG episodes we think you'll love!

What does it take to build a national surgical education apparatus from scratch? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Ajit Sachdeva, the former Senior Vice President for Education at the American College of Surgeons—a role he held for 24 years before passing the torch in fall 2025. When Dr. Sachdeva arrived at the ACS in 2001, there was no division, no script, and almost no structure. Over the course of his tenure, he created an ecosystem that now touches surgeons at every stage of their careers, from the first year of medical school to the last year of practice.Dr. Sachdeva reflects on competence, excellence, and the value of surgical educators. He discusses the structural shifts that have shaped modern surgical training, including simulation standards, competency-based curricula, the ACS Accredited Education Institutes, and the Academy of Master Surgeon Educators.

How do you identify your writing weaknesses? And, even more importantly, how can you tell if something really is a weakness? In this episode, I share five ways writers can recognize recurring craft problems, strengthen weak areas, and distinguish poor execution from intentional writing style. Every story presents its own challenges. Struggling with one beginning doesn't necessarily mean you're bad at beginnings. But when the same problem keeps cropping up across multiple stories, that's information worth paying attention to. We'll look at how to identify writing weaknesses by listening to your story sense, noticing what you consistently avoid, comparing patterns across multiple stories, and learning from beta readers, critique partners, editors, and reader reviews. We'll also talk about the important difference between the inner critic's generalized judgments and the specific diagnostic nudges that can actually help you improve your writing. But identifying a recurring pattern raises another question: Is it actually a weakness? Writing craft is largely the study of patterns that work. But not every departure from those patterns is a mistake. Writers such as Kurt Vonnegut, William Faulkner, and Cormac McCarthy made unconventional choices that became part of their distinctive styles. The real question is whether your choices effectively communicate what you intend. In this episode, we'll talk about: • What writing weaknesses actually are • 5 ways to identify recurring weaknesses in your writing • How to distinguish your inner critic from your story sense • Why patterns across multiple stories matter • How to use feedback without surrendering your own judgment • When breaking writing "rules" becomes a stylistic strength • How to turn weak areas into stronger writing skills Read the transcript: https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/identify-writing-weaknesses/ LINKS & RESOURCES Want More?

The more deeply we understand the patterns underneath story (i.e., the reasons certain choices create meaning and resonance), the less we have to rely on memorized "rules."

You don't have a burnout problem. You have a permission problem. You've been giving yourself permission to feel exhausted, but not permission to find out why. George has taken vacations that didn't fix it. Hired people to take things off his plate and still felt it. And told himself for years that rest would reset him. It didn't. Because rest doesn't fix misalignment. It just gives you a quieter room to spiral in. This is the implementation guide for the two Lacey Newman episodes, distilled into a three-part system you can run this week. Burnout as information. The three lies keeping you from systematizing. And the fear cost audit that Lacey shared that requires nothing but a pen, a piece of paper, and more honesty than most of us are used to. What You'll Learn In This Episode: The one diagnostic question that separates burnout from tired Why burning it all down is almost never the actual prescription The one contained shift that changes everything, without demolishing your business The three lies keeping you from documenting and delegating Why you're not too complex to replace, you're too undocumented to replace Lacey Newman's fear cost audit: pen, paper, and naming what it would actually cost you Why 80% of the change is just acknowledging the fear is there Why "ready" is a lie and what you do instead Key Takeaways: ✔️Burnout is information. Not a death sentence. Not a reason to blow everything up. A signal pointing at misalignment. Get curious with it. ✔️The test: if you go on vacation and come back dreading the return before you even leave, that's not tired. That's a symptom that needs a shift, not a rest. ✔️Make one contained, reversible shift. Not a rebuild. One client stopped working Fridays. Another stopped taking buyers. Both went from wanting to quit to loving their business again. ✔️The three lies: it's too complex to explain; I create a custom experience for every client; what I do is magic and no one else can do it. All three feel true. All three are dangerous. ✔️You're not too complex to replace. You're too undocumented to replace. Those are two very different problems. ✔️Document the process first. Voice memo, screen recording, having someone observe you. Then AI or a human runs it without you in the room. That's how you find out where the magic actually lives. ✔️The fear cost audit: write the goal, then write what getting it would actually cost you. Name every fear. Lacey said 80% of the change is just acknowledgment, the naming does most of the work. ✔️Ready is a lie. You don't work through fear by sitting with it. You work through it by moving through it. Take the hit. Notice you're still standing. Timestamps & Highlights:[00:00] — You don't have a burnout problem. You have a permission problem. [01:55] — The catch-up: Lacey Newman across two conversations [04:30] — Part 1: Burnout as information, the diagnostic and the real prescription [08:00] — The one contained reversible shift that changes everything [12:00] — Part 2: The three lies keeping you from systematizing [17:00] — How to document the undocumentable (without writing an SOP by hand) [22:00] — Part 3: The fear cost audit explained [25:30] — Why 80% of the change is just acknowledging the fear is there [27:00] — Why "ready" is a lie and what Lacey said to do instead [29:00] — How all three parts connect and the one action to take today Your Challenge This Week: Pick one. Just one. Identify your symptom of burnout. Or document one process you've been telling yourself is too complex. Or write one goal on paper and list every fear underneath it. Tell somebody.

Dr. Donn Posner is a leading expert in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), founder and president of Sleepwell Consultants, and an adjunct clinical associate professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Stanford University School of Medicine. He is co-author of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia: A Session-by-Session Guide, and he has trained and consulted with clinicians nationally and internationally across nearly four decades of clinical practice. In this second of two episodes, the conversation turns from what CBT-I is to how clinicians actually learn and deliver it. Dr. Posner reviews the available training pathways and what proficiency really requires, and explains why sleep hygiene — the advice most patients have already heard many times over — does not treat chronic insomnia, even though it has a place later in the work. He identifies the high-yield principles any clinician can apply immediately, including a fixed morning wake time, early light exposure, and getting out of bed when not sleeping. He then examines sleep effort as a perpetuating factor and CBT-I as fundamentally a therapy of acceptance, describing how he prepares patients for a treatment that will make them feel worse before it makes them better, and how cognitive work addresses the fear and resistance that follow. He closes with what clinicians should expect from a course of treatment — typical length and spacing, responder and remitter outcomes, and the durability of gains — along with how he handles sleep medication and why guidelines place CBT-I ahead of hypnotics.Learning ObjectivesAfter completing this educational activity, participants should be able to:Explain why sleep hygiene is ineffective as a monotherapy for chronic insomnia, and describe the more limited role it plays within a full course of CBT-I.Identify high-yield behavioral sleep medicine principles — including a fixed morning wake time, early light exposure, and getting out of bed when not sleeping — that clinicians can apply before completing formal CBT-I training.Describe sleep effort as a perpetuating factor, and summarize how the cognitive and acceptance-based components of CBT-I address the dysfunctional beliefs and resistance that arise during treatment.Summarize the expected course and outcomes of CBT-I (including typical session number and spacing, responder and remitter outcomes, and durability of gains) and explain why guidelines position CBT-I ahead of hypnotic medication.Topics Covered in This InterviewPathways to training in CBT-I and behavioral sleep medicineBoard certification in behavioral sleep medicineWhy sleep hygiene alone does not treat chronic insomnia: the dental hygiene analogyWhere sleep hygiene does belong within CBT-IAvailable CBT-I training programs and online optionsHow clinicians become proficient: consultation, community, and case experienceHigh-yield behavioral sleep principles any clinician can applySleep regularity, fixed wake times, and morning light exposureWhy getting out of bed is the hardest intervention for patients to acceptSleep effort as a perpetuating factorWhat good sleepers do — and do not do — to fall asleepCBT-I as a therapy of acceptancePreparing patients for the work: “I'm going to make you worse before I make you better”The cognitive component: uncovering and debunking dysfunctional beliefsCommon patterns of resistance, and exposure as the remedyTypical treatment length, session spacing, and pacingResponders versus remitters, and what the outcome data showDurability of gains and the role of sleep self-efficacyManaging and tapering sleep medication alongside CBT-IWhy guidelines position CBT-I ahead of hypnotic medication

Welcome back to another episode of Monday Matters! This week, Jen Schwanke and I are discussing ways that school leaders can influence a positive start to the school year with a few shout-outs to school leaders we’ve admired. Below is a brief overview of our conversation: Set the tone with staff and students Enjoy teamwork and camaraderie with staff as you set the tone for the school year. Hard work can be accomplished in a way that is lighthearted and fun for staff and students. Model expectations Start out the school year by creating an environment that feels like home for students. Foster a sense of community so that students feel they are a part of something bigger than themselves. Schedule in advance what's most important Ensure that teachers know, in advance, important dates that are happening throughout the school year. Allow them to plan around the schedule so no one feels rushed or out of the loop when it comes to PD days or other important events. Identify key responsibility areas and support new staff The beginning of a new school year can be overwhelming for new staff and admins. Key responsibility areas can help the start of the year run smoothly for these individuals and diminish feelings of overwhelm. Expect the unexpected No matter how much you plan, you can't plan for everything. By shifting your mindset to expect the unexpected, you can handle anything the school year throws at you. Stay calm Everything feels like an emergency in schools, but very rarely is something truly an emergency. Be the calmest person in the room when you can, and that will set the tone for the rest of the room. Now It's Your Turn: What are some methods that you used to influence a positive start to the school year at your school? Are they similar to what we discussed in the episode, or are they different? Think about what worked and what didn't. Listen to the episode to hear all of our takeaways! We hope your school year started on a positive note, and, as always, thank you for doing what matters! The post MONDAY MATTERS with Jen Schwanke and Will Parker – A Positive Start to the School Year appeared first on Principal Matters.

Though I am a Pediatric Emergency Provider, most of the time I don't treat true emergencies. Intensive care is a fairly small portion of what I do. That is why I invited Dr. Matt Goldstein, a PICU doctor from NY to come on the show and discuss the 5 things PICU docs want PEM docs to know…  Low threshold to call and communicate concerns regarding a decompensating patient. Identify high risk intubations Try and get as much history as possible (understanding how busy ED is) Reassess ICU level patients once they are admitted (every hospital is different) The power of airway clearance (especially in children with complex care needs, tracheostomy etc)

We'd love to hear from you. What are your thoughts and questions?David Beahm, President and CEO of Blanchard & Company, draws from his extensive career in corporate banking to explain the “warm blanket” effect of gold. The discussion highlights the legal history of gold in the U.S., specifically the 1974 legalization, and provides clarity on why sophisticated investors treat physical bullion as a permanent hedge against uncertainty rather than a get-rich-quick scheme.Financial security often feels like a fragile concept when markets fluctuate, yet history shows that physical assets have served as a reliable anchor for generations. In this episode, we peek behind the curtain of the gold industry to understand why tangible ownership offers a unique kind of peace of mind.Main Points:Define the role of gold as an insurance policy within a diversified portfolio.Identify the difference between paper gold ETFs and physical ownership.Learn why central banks prioritize physical bullion during periods of economic stress.Distinguish between wealth preservation strategies and speculative trading.Understand the importance of selecting reputable firms for gold and silver acquisition.Connect with David Beahm:https://www.linkedin.com/company/137420https://www.facebook.com/BlanchardandCompany/#https://www.youtube.com/user/BlanchardGoldhttps://www.blanchardgold.com/

“One thing that kids think is, I don't want to burden my parents with this, this is too much for them. And when we're willing to say, ‘Are you struggling with suicide, do you have a plan, do you want to die by suicide,' that opens the door for them to say, Wow, maybe I'm not going to burden them. Maybe this isn't that bad. They brought it up to me, so it must be okay.” I'm Dr. Shelly Mahon, your host, and in today's episode we talk about how most parents can feel when something is off with their kid, but freeze right at the moment it matters most. Do you ask the hard question, or do you wait and hope it passes? Jenna Candreia has spent years helping families move past that fear. As executive director of The Liv Project, Jenna works to bring youth mental health and suicide prevention “out of the shadows” and give parents real, practical language for the conversations they're most afraid to start.  About Our Guest Jenna Candreia is the Executive Director of The Liv Project, a Philadelphia-based nonprofit focused on turning the conversation about youth mental health and suicide prevention “out of the shadows.” Jenna leads the organization's work from Colorado. The Liv Project was created in memory of Liv, a 19-year-old who died by suicide in 2019 after struggling with anxiety, depression and a non-verbal learning disorder. Her family transformed their grief into a mission centered on connection, fearless communication, and giving people practical ways to talk about mental health. The organization's work includes The Game That Goes There, creative workshops, digital discussion guides, the My Sister Liv documentary, and the L.I.V. framework (Listen, Identify, Vocalize) for recognizing and responding to mental health struggles. In This Episode, We Cover Liv's story, and how her family turned their grief into a mission built on connection and fearless conversation What “fearless conversations” actually means in practice, and why asking a teen directly about suicidal thoughts doesn't plant the idea The subtle changes parents should watch for when a teen may be struggling, and how to tell ordinary teenage behavior from something that needs more attention The L.I.V. framework, Listen, Identify, Vocalize, and how a parent can put it to use at home Why kids often stay quiet because they don't want to “burden” a parent, and how being asked directly can actually be a relief Moving out of problem-solving mode and learning what it looks like to really listen when a teen opens up How social media shapes belonging, comparison and self-worth, and the “compare/despair” trap Jenna sees in the kids she works with What to say, and what to avoid saying, when a child finally tells a parent “I'm not okay” How to tell when a situation has moved beyond what a parent can manage alone, and how to bring in outside support Approaching a teen's changed behavior with curiosity and “protective mode” instead of “attack mode” Why it's progress, not perfection, and how kids forgive parents who keep showing up The one skill Jenna believes every parent needs to help protect a child's mental health Other Lines Worth Remembering “As parents we get so scared when behavior changes. Our kids see us as coming in with attack mode, but it's really protective mode. Breathe through that, and ask questions.” “It's not perfection, it's progress. Our kids forgive us.” “One of the things I always tell kids is, with social media, you are comparing your insides to everyone else's outsides. You're seeing a snapshot, a picture, that seems so happy and so wonderful, and you're comparing that to how you feel on the inside. That is not apples to apples.” Resources Mentioned & Related Reading The Liv Project: Resources, programs and tools designed to help families and communities have more open conversations about youth mental health and suicide prevention Fearless Conversation Guides: Two action-oriented guides, one for someone worried about themselves and one for someone worried about another person The L.I.V.

A chatbot can hand you a clean, confident custody plan at 3 a.m. that sounds like it came from a seasoned divorce attorney — and still be the worst move you could make in your case. More dads are showing up to coaching sessions with pages of AI-generated custody strategy, already acted on, because the writing feels so authoritative. That's the trap: in divorce and family court, sounding right is not the same as being right.This episode breaks down the bright line for using AI tools during divorce and high-conflict custody disputes. We cover where AI genuinely helps: building legal literacy in your specific state, understanding legal custody vs. physical custody, temporary orders, and property division basics — so you walk into attorney meetings prepared and spend billable hours on your facts, not vocabulary. We also cover AI as a practical organizational assistant: building case timelines, master calendars, first-pass budgets for two households, and calmer co-parenting messages using the Gray Rock method and BIF communication style without escalating conflict.Then we go straight into the danger zone: AI and custody strategy. Family court runs on judicial discretion, local courtroom norms, judge preferences, and the specific behavioral patterns of your ex and your case history — none of which AI can know. We cover how AI chatbots can hallucinate statutes and case citations that look completely real, the echo-chamber risk of using AI during divorce, the privacy and discoverability risk of what you type into consumer AI tools, and a simple test to run before you act: does this require knowing my specific judge, my specific ex, or my specific case? If yes, it belongs with a human professional. Support the showBeing unprepared is how great fathers become weekend visitors.

A slow season may be exactly what your business needs. Every business owner experiences slow business seasons when ideas stop flowing, outreach goes nowhere, cash feels tight, or the systems and team you built suddenly feel messy. It's easy to panic during these seasons, especially when we're constantly told to keep pushing, stay consistent, and never slow down. But slow business seasons are a normal part of growth. I've experienced plenty of them in my own staging business—from quiet summer and winter seasons to credit card debt, overflowing inventory, and moments when I wondered if my business would ever gain momentum again. Instead of seeing these periods as failures, I learned to use them as opportunities to step back, look at what wasn't working, and decide what needed my attention. When business slows down, your first instinct might be to push harder, but sometimes you don't need more pressure. You need grace and space. Take a look at what's working. Identify the gaps. Clean up a process. Revisit your numbers. And instead of trying to fix everything at once, focus on your next step. Books, podcasts, coaching, and conversations with other business owners can also help spark new ideas and motivation when you're feeling stuck. Most importantly, remember that the season you're in is temporary. If your business feels like a boulder you're pushing uphill right now, take a breath. You may not need to push harder. You may simply need to pause, pay attention, and decide what comes next.

THE WEIGHT OF THE CARRY#NightLightRTTBROS "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28I remember watching a tv show about a group of hikers on a trail a few years back. There was one guy who had a pack that looked like it belonged on a mule. It was oversized, overstuffed, and he was leaning forward just to keep from tipping over. Every few hundred yards, he'd stop, gasp for air, and shift the straps. He was exhausted, not because the trail was too steep, but because he was carrying things he didn't actually need for the trip.We do that with our souls all the time.We don't just carry today's burdens; we carry the ghosts of last year's mistakes, the "what-ifs" of next decade, and the weight of expectations we never actually signed up for. We lean forward, gasping for air, wondering why the walk of faith feels so heavy."Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28Notice He doesn't say, "Come to me once you've sorted through your pack." He says come while you're still heavy laden. The invitation is to bring the whole oversized bag: the shame, the anxiety, the exhausted effort, and trade it for His rest.The secret to the journey isn't getting stronger so you can carry more; it's getting smarter about what you leave at His feet.Tonight, before you drift off, take an inventory of your pack. What are you carrying that doesn't belong on this trail?Set the bag down. He's got it.Application Points:1. Identify the "Extra Weight": Spend five minutes in silence asking the Holy Spirit to show you one specific burden you are carrying (a past regret, a future fear, or someone else's expectation) that isn't yours to bear.2. The Physical Release: As you pray, physically open your hands palms-up to symbolize the act of releasing that specific weight to God, acknowledging that His strength is sufficient where yours has run out.3. Practice Selective Carrying: Tomorrow, when you feel that "leaning forward" exhaustion, stop and ask: "Is this a burden God asked me to carry, or am I packing for a trip I'm not on?"

What happens when you put a hundred-dollar bill on the table every month for showing up? In this episode of DarrenDaily On-Demand, Darren Hardy breaks down a factory experiment that exposed something uncomfortable about human nature: the same incentive that pulled dozens of employees out of a slump did nothing for a handful of others, no matter how badly they needed the money. He pairs it with a second story about two team captains who swapped rosters every two weeks, yet one kept winning regardless of who was on his team. Darren argues these aren't stories about motivation at all, and explains why lowering your standards to accommodate the people standing in the back is the worst thing a leader can do.

A lot of people reached out after yesterday's episode, and the response made one thing clear: many of us are quietly fighting through a tough season right now. Someone in my DMs asked how I actually turned my day around, and I realized I had a real answer worth sharing. In this episode, I walk through the three things I personally did to stop a bad day from becoming a bad month, or worse, a bad year. It starts with something that sounds simple but hits differently when you actually apply it. Listen if you're in it, or send it to someone who is. Key Takeaways Support exists even when it feels invisible. If no one else is checking on you, be the person who refuses to give up on yourself. Feelings are not facts. A bad day does not have to be a zero day, and momentum starts with whatever small win you can actually get. You do not need a big trophy. Making your bed, taking a shower, or going for a walk counts as traction when you are in a low moment. Stagnation is the real danger. Letting one bad day bleed into tomorrow is a pattern that breaks only when you force a win into the cycle. The fastest way to shift your perspective is to help someone else. When you pour into others, you stop drowning in your own circumstances. Action Steps Stand in front of a mirror today and verbally acknowledge one way you have already shown up for yourself, especially if no one else has. Identify one small, completable task and finish it before the day ends. Name it as your victory and let it be enough. Reach out to one person who might need support or find a local place to volunteer. Shift your focus outward and watch your perspective follow. Notable Quote You have to find some sort of win. Because if you can start to get any sort of momentum, it breaks the cycle of everything is wrong.

If you're doing everything "right" for your sleep and still waking up exhausted, tossing and turning at night, or lying in bed with your brain running a mile a minute, the problem might not be your nighttime routine. It might be what your brain has learned to do when you get into bed. In this episode, I'm sitting down with licensed psychologist Jessica Meers to talk about the psychology of sleep, insomnia, and why some of the things we do to compensate for a bad night of sleep can actually keep the cycle going. Jessica specializes in treating insomnia without medication using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). She explains why sleep is both biological and psychological, how we can unintentionally train ourselves to associate our beds with stress and wakefulness, and why there is no perfect sleep routine that works for everyone. We also talk about overthinking at night, maintaining a consistent wake time, what to do when you can't fall back asleep, creating a sleep-supportive environment, and how hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can affect sleep. If you've been chasing the perfect bedtime routine but still aren't sleeping well, this conversation may help you look at sleep in a completely different way. In This Episode, We Cover: Why sleep affects so much more than how tired you feel the next day The relationship between poor sleep and mental health Why the "5 AM club" approach isn't right for everyone How individual sleep needs can change with age and life circumstances Why sleep is both a biological process and a learned behavior How lying awake, worrying, and tossing and turning can reinforce poor sleep patterns Why overthinkers often struggle when everything finally gets quiet at night Jessica's strategy for scheduling "worry time" before bed Why getting out of bed may be better than staying there trying to force yourself to sleep How to distinguish insomnia symptoms from potential signs of sleep apnea What Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is Why a consistent wake-up time can be one of the most important parts of improving sleep Why sleeping in to "catch up" after a bad night can disrupt your rhythm How to create a simple wind-down buffer before bed Why temperature and light matter for sleep Why the perfect sleep environment may not be enough when your nervous system is on high alert The relationship between perimenopause, menopause, hormones, and sleep Why addressing sleep may require support from more than one type of practitioner Sleep Is More Than Feeling Tired We tend to think about poor sleep in terms of how we feel the next morning. We're tired. We're foggy. We need more coffee. We don't have the energy we normally have. But Jessica explains that sleep reaches much further than our energy levels. As a psychologist, she pays particular attention to the relationship between sleep and mental health. Poor sleep and insomnia are closely connected with conditions like anxiety and depression, and sleep difficulties can sometimes appear before other mental health symptoms. Sleep also intersects with hormones and metabolic health, which is one of the reasons getting consistent, restorative sleep matters so much for our overall health. This isn't simply about getting enough hours so you can be productive tomorrow. Sleep is one of the foundational systems supporting your physical and emotional health. There Is No Perfect Sleep Schedule One of my favorite parts of this conversation was Jessica's take on the "5 AM club." We see these routines everywhere. Wake up at 5 AM. Work out. Take the cold plunge. Journal. Meditate. Get more done before everyone else wakes up. And while that routine may work beautifully for one person, it doesn't mean it's healthy for everyone. Jessica explains that healthy sleep needs are generally discussed within a range, but the exact amount an individual needs can vary depending on the person, their age, their circumstances, and what is happening in their life. Trying to force yourself into somebody else's sleep schedule can work against what your own body needs. Your goal isn't to become the person who wakes up earliest. Your goal is to find a sleep pattern that actually supports your health. You Can Train Yourself to Sleep Poorly This was such an important distinction. Our bodies know how to sleep. But psychologically, sleep can also become a learned behavior. That means we can unintentionally teach ourselves patterns that make sleeping harder. Think about what happens when you repeatedly lie in bed unable to sleep. You toss. You turn. You start thinking about tomorrow. You worry about how tired you're going to be. You look at the clock. You try harder to fall asleep. And eventually, your brain begins associating your bed with being awake, alert, worried, and frustrated. Instead of your bed becoming a cue for sleep, it becomes a cue for stress. Jessica explains that breaking this association is an important part of addressing insomnia. The goal is to help your brain relearn what your bed is supposed to represent. Sleep. Why Overthinkers Struggle at Night If your brain suddenly decides bedtime is the perfect opportunity to review every problem in your life, you're definitely not alone. During the day, we're distracted. We're working. We're answering messages. We're taking care of our families. We're running businesses. There is always something competing for our attention. Then everything gets quiet. Suddenly, your brain has room to bring up all the things you haven't processed yet. For someone who already tends toward worrying or rumination, bedtime can become the moment when those thoughts get louder. One strategy Jessica recommends is intentionally creating space for those thoughts earlier. Rather than waiting until your head hits the pillow, schedule time after dinner to think through what's worrying you. Write it down. Identify the next step you can take. Give the thought somewhere to go. You're not trying to solve your entire life before bedtime. You're showing your brain that the problem has been acknowledged and there is a plan for dealing with it. What to Do When You Can't Sleep This advice sounds completely backwards at first. If you can't sleep, get out of bed. Jessica explains that staying in bed worrying, stressing, tossing, and turning can reinforce the exact association you're trying to break. You're teaching your brain that bed is where you stay awake and struggle. Instead, get up. Go somewhere else. Do something relatively mindless that you enjoy until you begin feeling sleepy again. Jessica even explains that, in the context of this approach, she would rather someone get out of bed and watch television than stay in bed desperately trying to force sleep while becoming increasingly frustrated. The goal is not to reward yourself for being awake. It's to stop reinforcing the connection between your bed and wakefulness. Could It Be More Than Insomnia? Not every nighttime awakening is caused by insomnia. Jessica also discusses some signs that may warrant talking with a healthcare professional about obstructive sleep apnea. If you're frequently waking during the night and also experiencing symptoms such as loud snoring, gasping for air, morning headaches, or waking with a dry mouth, it may be worth discussing a sleep study with your healthcare provider. This is another reason why getting appropriate support matters. You don't want to spend months trying to "fix" your sleep routine if there is another underlying sleep issue that needs to be evaluated. What Is CBT-I? Jessica specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, commonly called CBT-I. Rather than relying solely on medication to manage insomnia, CBT-I looks at both the behaviors and thought patterns that may be contributing to sleep difficulties. Jessica describes it as a relatively short-term, structured form of therapy, often completed over approximately six to eight weekly sessions, although treatment needs vary by person. The process can involve changing behaviors around sleep, rebuilding the association between bed and sleeping, addressing worry and rumination, and helping people understand the psychological patterns that may be keeping insomnia going. For someone who feels like they've tried every sleep hygiene tip imaginable without getting lasting results, looking at the behavioral and psychological side of sleep may be the missing piece. Stop Trying to Catch Up on Sleep After a terrible night of sleep, sleeping in feels completely logical. You're exhausted. Your body missed sleep. Why wouldn't you stay in bed longer and catch up? Jessica explains that constantly changing your wake time can disrupt your rhythm and make the next night more difficult. One of the strongest anchors you can give your sleep schedule is consistency in the morning. Rather than obsessing over the exact time you fall asleep, Jessica encourages people to pay attention to when they get up. Set a regular wake time. Get up at approximately the same time each day. And resist constantly shifting your schedule based on how well you slept the night before. One bad night doesn't necessarily need to become several bad nights. Sometimes our attempts to compensate for poor sleep are what keep the pattern going. Give Your Brain Time to Wind Down You cannot expect your brain to go from full-speed work mode to sleep in thirty seconds. If you've been answering emails, working on your business, scrolling on your phone, solving problems, or thinking about tomorrow right up until bedtime, your brain may still be activated when you lie down. Jessica recommends creating at least a short buffer before sleep. Even thirty minutes can give your brain an opportunity to transition. The goal isn't to create an elaborate two-hour nighttime routine filled with ten different wellness practices. It's simply to give yourself a period where you are intentionally disengaging from the activities that keep your brain switched on. Your Sleep Environment Matters, But It Isn't Everything Temperature and light can absolutely support sleep. Jessica recommends keeping your bedroom cool and comfortable, with research often pointing toward temperatures around 67 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit for many sleepers. Darkness can also help. Dimming the lights in the evening gives your body additional environmental cues that nighttime is approaching. But there is an important caveat. You can have the perfect temperature. The perfect blackout curtains. The perfect eye mask. The perfect wind-down routine. And still struggle to sleep if your nervous system is highly activated. If you're lying in bed hypervigilant and on edge, your body's arousal system may be competing with your ability to settle into sleep. Sleep hygiene can support the process. It cannot always solve the underlying problem by itself. Perimenopause, Menopause, and Sleep Jessica's path into sleep psychology actually began through women's health research focused on sleep and the menopausal transition. That made this part of our conversation especially interesting to me. Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can significantly change a woman's experience of sleep. Jessica discusses estrogen's role in sleep and why changes during this stage of life can contribute to sleep disruption. But there can also be a second layer. Once sleep becomes difficult, we naturally start worrying about it. We compensate. We change our routines. We try harder. And some of those psychological and behavioral responses can begin perpetuating the sleep problem even when hormones were part of what triggered it initially. That is why Jessica advocates for a collaborative approach. For some women, that may mean working with a psychologist or sleep specialist alongside a gynecologist, menopause specialist, physician, or other appropriate healthcare practitioner. There isn't always one single solution. You Don't Have to Keep Fighting Your Sleep One of the biggest messages I took from this conversation is that struggling with sleep doesn't mean you simply need more discipline. You don't necessarily need another supplement. You don't necessarily need another complicated nighttime routine. And you definitely don't need to force yourself into somebody else's 5 AM schedule because social media told you that successful people wake up before sunrise. Sometimes the behaviors we use to compensate for poor sleep are actually helping the pattern continue. Understanding those patterns gives you something you can work with. If sleep has become a nightly battle, consider getting support from someone who specializes in sleep rather than continuing to experiment on your own. Your Action Step Pay attention to what happens around your sleep for the next several days. Not just what time you go to bed. Ask yourself: Do I stay in bed worrying when I can't sleep? Do I dramatically change my wake time after a bad night? Am I carrying work and stress directly into bedtime? Am I trying to follow someone else's "perfect" sleep schedule? Do I spend the day worrying about whether I'll sleep tonight? You don't need to change everything at once. Start by noticing the patterns. If those patterns have been going on for a long time or your sleep is significantly affecting your health and daily life, consider speaking with a qualified sleep professional about whether CBT-I or another form of evaluation may be appropriate. Final Thoughts Sleep is foundational. It affects how you think, how you feel, how you show up for your family, and how much energy you have to build the business and life you want. And better sleep isn't necessarily about creating the perfect nighttime routine. Sometimes it starts with understanding what your brain has learned about sleep and changing the behaviors that are keeping you stuck. You can optimize your room. You can buy the eye mask. You can turn down the temperature. But if your nervous system is on high alert and your brain has learned that getting into bed means worrying for three hours, there is another layer that needs attention. That's why I loved this conversation with Jessica. It reminds us to stop chasing perfection and start understanding what our bodies and brains actually need.

THE COST OF A MIRACLE #RTTBROS #Nightlight"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" — Mark 8:36 Imagine the scene: a parking lot in New Zealand. A 54-year-old woman collapses. Her heart stops. For a few minutes, she is, by every medical definition, dead. Then, a stranger steps in, performs chest compressions, and pulls her back from the edge. She's revived, rushed to the hospital, and given a second chance at life.It's a miracle. A genuine, breath-returning miracle.Then, a few days later, the mail arrives. Inside is an 80-dollar parking ticket. The company managing the lot noticed her car had overstayed the time limit on the day she died.I can't help but laugh at the absurdity of it, but there's something deeper there. Here is a woman who had just experienced the greatest gift possible, life itself, and the world's first response was to send her a bill for the time she spent being dead."For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" — Mark 8:36We spend so much of our lives worrying about the "parking tickets" of existence. We stress over the breach notices, the deadlines, and the tiny penalties of a rigid world. We let the trivialities of life steal the joy of the miracle.Tonight, try this:Identify the "parking tickets" in your life, those small stresses that feel huge but don't actually matter in eternity.Intentionally shift your focus from the penalty to the providence.Thank God for the "second chances" He has given you that no amount of money could ever pay for.Don't let the noise of the world's rules drown out the wonder of God's mercy.You've been given a life that is priceless.

Wondering about the lunar eclipse meaning as it relates to the August full moon in Pisces? Late night on August 27 and into the wee hours of August 28, we had a full moon and a deep lunar eclipse. If you’ve been hearing that this is intense or life-changing, relax. Here’s what’s actually happening in the sky and how to use this moment in a calm, practical way without drama or dire predictions. What Happened in the Sky The lunar eclipse and the full moon are just one event, happening within a couple of hours of each other. It’s called a deep eclipse, although still a partial one, because the Earth’s shadow covered about 96% of the Moon. Not quite total, but close. While this is visually striking, there’s no impending disaster or chaos. You are OK. You don’t need to do anything special for the event, but it’s a useful time to pause, take stock, and make one clear choice that supports your well-being. Full Moon in Pisces This full moon is in Pisces, a sign linked with feelings, imagination, your spiritual life, rest, and intuition. A full moon is traditionally a time to reflect with the aid of that bright moonlight. Take time to notice your current results and make decisions about where you might need to tweak things to improve your outcomes. This is a great time to have compassion for yourself. Take care of your own needs rather than just serving others, and let go of what no longer serves you. Pay attention to any repeated gut feelings or intuitive messages, then check the facts before you dive in and take action. This is especially for any big decisions. If you’re feeling more emotional or tired, eclipses can do that. Honor your feelings. So, if you’re tired, rest. Identify your feelings and work through them. Talk to someone supportive or address your concern as calmly as you can. This is also a time to surrender and admit that you can’t control everything. Loosen the grip and accept what is. Or you make a plan to work toward a goal and do your best without getting worked up about every step along the way. Think about any behaviors you could tweak. If you’re prone to people-pleasing or procrastinating, this is a great time to work on either one. Maybe you’re avoiding a conversation, or you need to work on your financial goals. Now is the time to be honest with yourself and take one strategic action step or simply ask yourself where you need greater clarity in your life right now. Shortcomings of Modern Day Astrology Astrology is meant to give you a snapshot of your life using your birth, or natal, chart. With your chart done, you can see how an astrological event impacts different aspects of your life and where your opportunities look the brightest. It was never meant to be a constant emergency warning system. Today’s modern astrology leans toward psychological or pop astrology, and considered to be a self-help tool. That’s why planetary movements get translated into the similar language. It’s so repetitive. Every event is a time for self-reflection, strengthening boundaries, releasing, and personal growth. That’s  why the celestial messages sound so generic, because they are written to appeal to everyone.  Back in the day, astrology offered monthly horoscopes which were still sort of general but at least were tailored to your sun sign. Each conjunction or alignment doesn’t impact everybody the same way. Fear, urgency, and anger attract attention and get shared, which is why astrology related headlines often sound so dire. many practitioners resort to catastrophic headlines like, “this eclipse will change everything.” The way I look at this, don’t we already have enough to worry about without piling on a dramatic or ominous astrological events every month. This just adds more negativity to an already overloaded nervous system. A planetary alignment is not an emergency alert. An eclipse is not proof that your life is about to fall apart. If astrology leaves you feeling uneasy, powerless, or convinced disaster is unavoidable, take a step back. That’s not astrological wisdom, it’s factually more like fear-mongering marketing. Many use dire language  simply to get your attention and make you click. The Hoax of Barbault’s Basket First, let me explain who André Barbault was. A French astrologer, he first identified the four planets aligning in this basket shape back in 1955. He studied how this configuration corresponded to specific turning points in history. The most recent “Barbault’s Basket,” just happened on July 15–24, 2026. Many writers pointed this being a dramatic time for a new world order and that created a lot of catastrophic headlines. Guess what I learned after reading several, very long astrological discussions about the Basket? Nothing! That’s right, these long articles never drew a conclusion about what it actually meant. I also did an international review of the news for that July period and NOTHING big happened in the news. Some things escalated but those events had begun earlier. It was just a lot of hype and no substance. Red Flags of Fear-Based Astrology When a video or post says a transit will definitely cause a breakup, financial loss, illness, or catastrophe, there’s no need to continue engaging with it. The same is true for content that insists you must do something or offers the same alarming prediction for everyone. If it leaves you feeling panicky, that’s a red flag. A responsible astrologer says, “this may be a demanding period,” then explain what area might need extra attention. That’s very different from “disaster is coming.” If a post makes you feel scared or helpless, turn away and return to the facts of your life. Think about what’s actually happening and one sensible action you can take to improve your situation. Practical Actions for this Eclipse Choose one action from this list of simple steps to take after the eclipse: Cancel, shorten, or delegate one unnecessary obligation. Make one appointment you’ve been avoiding, whether medical, financial, or emotional support. Send one clear message: “I can’t do that this week,” “I need time to think about that.” Limit draining activity like social media, news consumption, or responding instantly to texts. Schedule one replenishing activity for the week. Take a walk, a bath, listen to music, call a friend, or go to bed early. The stars and planets can invite you to pause and look inward, but don’t let them run your life. Keep your feet on the ground, use your own good judgment, and let astrology help you ask better questions rather than add to your stress. Right now, everything is OK, and when you focus on what’s good, take care of your needs, and find ways to enjoy life, you’ll land on your feet. So What Does This Eclipse Actually Mean? This was one combined event. A deep partial lunar eclipse (about 96% coverage) and a full moon in Pisces rather than two separate happenings. Pisces themes for this full moon is about feelings, intuition, dreams, compassion, and creativity. No special ritual is required. This is just a good excuse to pause and make one clear choice that supports your well-being. Feel your feelings first, then check the facts before acting, especially on big decisions. Watch for fear-based astrology online. If you encounter any absolute predictions, doom language, and content that leaves you feeling powerless, feel free to click away. FAQs What does a lunar eclipse mean astrologically? A lunar eclipse amplifies the themes of the full moon it coincides with, often marking a turning point tied to letting go, emotional release, or a shift in perspective. It’s considered a heightened moment for reflection, not a sign that anything dramatic or dangerous is about to happen. What does the Pisces full moon mean for me? The Pisces full moon highlights emotions, intuition, dreams, compassion, and creativity. It’s a good time to notice recurring gut feelings, reflect on where you need more clarity, and choose one grounded action that supports your well-being rather than reacting on impulse. Is a lunar eclipse dangerous or a bad omen? No. A lunar eclipse is a natural planetary event, not a warning of disaster. Fear-based predictions online are often designed to attract attention and promote shares rather than reflect accurate astrological guidance. If a post leaves you feeling panicked, that’s a sign to step back and check the facts of your own life instead. How can I tell if astrology content is fear-based? Watch for absolute predictions, doom language, pressure to act or buy something quickly, claims that a sign is “cursed,” and content that leaves you feeling powerless. A grounded, responsible astrologer points out a possible theme and practical ways to work with it. { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "What does a lunar eclipse mean astrologically?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "A lunar eclipse amplifies the themes of the full moon it coincides with, often marking a turning point tied to letting go, emotional release, or a shift in perspective.

This episode is for you!  Today we're diving into all things affiliate marketing for your subscription box business. I'll explain how affiliate marketing can significantly boost your revenue, expand your customer base, and strengthen your subscription box brand.  Affiliate marketing is a performance-based marketing strategy where brands reward individuals (affiliates) for marketing or driving traffic and sales to their services or products, including subscription boxes.

Taking FMLA Leave as an Experiment (00:15:40) Rather than quitting outright, Oz used 12 weeks of FMLA medical leave to test what not working would feel like. He set a deliberately low bar for success—sleep and play pickleball—instead of maintaining his productivity mindset. The Unexpected Layoff (00:22:30) During the final week of his sabbatical, Oz received a layoff notice with severance and garden leave. What could have felt devastating instead felt like "divine timing," perfectly aligning with his planned departure. Wrestling with Fear and Acceptance (00:28:00) Oz shares his practice of writing acceptance statements for every fear—from scarcity feelings to relationship changes. By acknowledging fears without resisting them, he reduced the suffering that comes from fighting his own emotions. Practical Strategies for Decumulation (00:35:45) Breaking down the scary process of drawing down investments: think month-by-month rather than annual withdrawals, and sell "junk" investments (random stocks, crypto) first before touching beloved index funds. Life After Work and Future Plans (00:42:20) Oz describes his current life taking community college music classes, learning trades, and planning for the next 2-3 years before potentially having children. He emphasizes honoring different life seasons and remaining flexible about future work. Notable Quotes Ginger: "Pain plus resistance equals suffering. The pain is part of the human experience, but the resistance is the thing that you can control." Oz Chen: "I accept that not having a paycheck coming in will feel weird and scary. I can have the feeling and it doesn't have to change what I'm doing." Oz Chen: "Clarity through action versus expecting clarity before action. Breaking things down into smaller components generates clarity." Oz Chen: "The productivity engine is something that often buzzes in the background for optimizers. There's always something to work on, always something to optimize." Oz Chen: "I realized my fear was a very generalized fear. Writing down that fear and asking, is that true? helped me see it's potentially a reversible decision." Key Takeaways Write a work policy statement listing specific conditions under which you'd leave your job, similar to an investor policy statement for market downturns Break down your fears by writing them out specifically, then question their validity and put dollar amounts to worst-case scenarios Create acceptance statements for your financial fears to reduce internal resistance rather than trying to eliminate fears entirely Calculate your first 3-6 months of expenses in retirement month-by-month rather than thinking about annual withdrawals to make decumulation less daunting Consider using all available time-off options (PTO, unpaid leave, FMLA if eligible) to experiment with extended breaks before making permanent career changes Identify "junk" investments in your portfolio that you'd be happy to sell first before touching core index fund holdings Set a low bar for success duri…

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald, interviewed entertainment attorney Jalene Mack. Discuss the legal and business fundamentals that entrepreneurs, creatives, writers, producers, and small business owners need to understand to protect their ideas, brands, and financial interests. Drawing from decades of experience representing entertainers, filmmakers, producers, writers, and business owners, Mack explains how people fall victim to bad deals, why contracts matter, and the steps entrepreneurs should take to build a legally sound and financially sustainable business. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Educate entrepreneurs and creatives about avoiding bad contracts and scams. Explain the importance of trademarks, copyrights, and intellectual property protection. Help aspiring producers, writers, and business owners understand how to structure their businesses properly. Provide practical advice on building a business foundation before seeking investors or opportunities. Encourage listeners to use professional advisors rather than relying solely on online information and templates. Key Takeaways 1. Due Diligence Is Essential Mack emphasized that many scammers prey on hopeful entrepreneurs and creatives by promising funding, distribution, or industry connections. Before signing anything, individuals should thoroughly research the people and companies they are dealing with. Lesson: Verify credentials, investigate backgrounds, and confirm funding sources before entering any agreement. 2. Don't Be Seduced by the "Big Opportunity" Many people fall victim to bad deals because they believe they have found the one opportunity that will change their lives. Mack and McDonald warned against approaching business with a "lottery mentality." Lesson: Excitement should never replace sound business judgment. 3. Never Sign Away Your Intellectual Property Blindly One of the biggest mistakes creators make is signing contracts that transfer ownership of their scripts, books, ideas, or content without fully understanding the consequences. Lesson: Once ownership rights are transferred, getting them back can be nearly impossible. 4. Hiring the Right Lawyer Matters Mack stressed that not all attorneys have the same expertise. A lawyer who handles real estate, patents, or corporate law may not understand entertainment contracts and intellectual property issues. Lesson: Work with attorneys who specialize in your industry. 5. Online Templates Are Not a Substitute for Legal Advice While contract templates found online can provide a starting point, they rarely address the unique circumstances of a specific business or creative project. Lesson: Every deal has unique risks and should be professionally reviewed. 6. Every Entrepreneur Needs a Clear Plan Mack outlined the importance of first identifying exactly what you're trying to build, whether it's a film project, product, service, or business venture. Lesson: A clear vision helps guide decision-making, budgeting, staffing, and marketing. 7. Business Plans and Financial Plans Are Critical Entrepreneurs often focus on ideas while ignoring execution. Mack encouraged listeners to develop detailed plans for operations, funding, growth, and profitability. Lesson: A great idea without a roadmap is unlikely to succeed. 8. Build the Right Team No entrepreneur should try to do everything alone. Mack emphasized surrounding yourself with experienced professionals, including lawyers, accountants, producers, financial advisors, and marketers. Lesson: Success often depends on the quality of your team. 9. Budgeting Is Non-Negotiable Whether producing a film or launching a business, understanding costs is essential. Everything from labor and equipment to marketing and logistics must be considered before moving forward. Lesson: Poor budgeting is one of the fastest paths to failure. 10. Protect Your Assets and Brand Mack stressed the importance of trademarks, copyrights, business entities, and legal documentation. Entrepreneurs must proactively protect their intellectual property before problems arise. Lesson: Prevention is less expensive than litigation. Jalene Mack's 10-Step Business Foundation Framework Throughout the conversation, Mack outlined critical steps for launching and protecting a business: Identify your project. Create a comprehensive plan. Build a strong team. Prepare a realistic budget. Form a business entity. Obtain a business identification number. Open a dedicated business bank account. Protect your intellectual property and assets. Use professionally drafted contracts. Develop a strong marketing strategy.
