We all want to eventually get to the point when work is optional. But some people make it a goal to get there much sooner – perhaps even by their 30s or 40s. One fellow who knows a lot about how to do it is Brad Barrett, the co-founder of the ChooseFI website and the co-host of the ChooseFI podcast. In this episode, Robert Brokamp spoke with Brad about:-The evolution of the financial independence, retirement early (FIRE) movement, and why many have dropped the RE and focus on the FI.-The savings rates and spending mindsets that are the foundations of financial independence-Identifying the “why” that motivates you to make sometimes hard choices-The flourishing FI community that crowd-sources ideas and provides support when living a somewhat counter-cultural lifestyle Send your financial planning questions for our upcoming mailbag episode to podcasts@fool.com.

Jenny McCarthy joins Dr. Jill to share her deeply personal battle with mold toxicity, from severe brain fog and gut issues to infections, eye problems, and debilitating pain. They explore how she finally identified mold as a potential trigger, why conventional detox strategies weren't enough for her, and her experience turning to Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE).

What is the Body?The body is a fence the Son of God imagines he has built, to separate parts of his Self from other parts. It is within this fence he thinks he lives, to die as it decays and crumbles. For within this fence he thinks that he is safe from love. Identifying with his safety, he regards himself as what his safety is. How else could he be certain he remains within the body, keeping love outside?The body will not stay. Yet this he sees as double safety. For the Son of God's impermanence is “proof” his fences work, and do the task his mind assigns to them. For if his oneness still remained untouched, who could attack and who could be attacked? Who could be victor? Who could be his prey? Who could be victim? Who the murderer? And if he did not die, what “proof” is there that God's eternal Son can be destroyed?The body is a dream. Like other dreams it sometimes seems to picture happiness, but can quite suddenly revert to fear, where every dream is born. For only love creates in truth, and truth can never fear. Made to be fearful, must the body serve the purpose given it. But we can change the purpose that the body will obey by changing what we think that it is for.The body is the means by which God's Son returns to sanity. Though it was made to fence him into hell without escape, yet has the goal of Heaven been exchanged for the pursuit of hell. The Son of God extends his hand to reach his brother, and to help him walk along the road with him. Now is the body holy. Now it serves to heal the mind that it was made to kill.You will identify with what you think will make you safe. Whatever it may be, you will believe that it is one with you. Your safety lies in truth, and not in lies. Love is your safety. Fear does not exist. Identify with love, and you are safe. Identify with love, and you are home. Identify with love, and find your Self.LESSON 261God Is My Refuge And Security.I will identify with what I think is refuge and security. I will behold myself where I perceive my strength, and think I live within the citadel where I am safe and cannot be attacked. Let me today seek not security in danger, nor attempt to find my peace in murderous attack. I live in God. In Him I find my refuge and my strength. In Him is my Identity. In Him is everlasting peace. And only there will I remember Who I really am.Let me not seek for idols. I would come, my Father, home to You today. I choose to be as You created me, and find the Son whom You created as my Self.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Episode Summary What makes a relationship truly toxic, and how do you know whether it can be repaired or whether it's time to walk away? In this episode, Eric is joined by licensed professional counselor, board-certified art therapist, and Radiant Life Project founder Kate King, author of Mend or Move On: A Guide to Healing or Leaving Toxic Relationships. Together, they explore toxic dynamics in romantic relationships, families, friendships, and workplaces, including why ADHDers and other neurodivergent people may be especially vulnerable to people-pleasing, fawning, conflict avoidance, and staying too long in painful situations. Kate shares her framework for the seven traps that can keep us stuck, along with practical ways to recognize patterns, communicate needs, build tolerance for difficult conversations, and decide whether a relationship has the mutual willingness needed to mend. Show Notes In this episode, you'll learn: How to distinguish a truly toxic relationship from a relationship that is simply struggling Why your body may recognize a toxic dynamic before your brain fully accepts it How familiar dysfunction can feel safer than unfamiliar change The difference between healthy interdependence and codependency Why people-pleasing, fawning, and conflict avoidance are often rooted in nervous-system safety patterns How to begin practicing "easier hard things" to build tolerance for difficult conversations How to assess whether a relationship, family dynamic, or workplace can be repaired Why mutual willingness is essential if a relationship is going to mend Kate's seven traps of toxic relationships: Buy-in Comfort Powerlessness False ownership Unhealed trauma Avoidance Codependency Guest Kate King is a former licensed professional counselor, board-certified art therapist, award-winning author, radiant life coach, and founder of The Radiant Life Project.

Strong execution might earn results, but it doesn't automatically build influence.

Chronic illness rarely fits neatly into a single diagnosis. Symptoms can span multiple systems, leaving people profoundly unwell even when standard testing appears normal. I understand this experience from the inside out because I've lived it myself. Today, I sit down with Dr. Neil Nathan, a leading expert in complex chronic illness and author of Toxic, now in its second edition. We explore why these conditions are so often misunderstood and how identifying what is driving them can create a path toward recovery. We discuss: Why mold toxicity, Lyme disease, and long COVID can be so difficult to diagnose How to identify the root cause instead of chasing downstream symptoms What the Cell Danger Response is and why the body can remain stuck in survival mode Why some people suddenly become sensitive to foods, chemicals, medications, light, and sound Why the right treatment can make symptoms worse when introduced at the wrong time I've been sick enough to know how quickly chronic illness can narrow your world—and how discouraging it is when no one can explain why. But I'm also living proof that the body can recover. The answer is not always more treatment. Often, it begins with finding the root cause, respecting what the body can tolerate, and addressing each layer in the right order.

Season seven opens with a recap of summer conference conversations with Kathy and Keri Vasek, centered on the emotional realities of homeschooling young children. The episode focuses on comparison, child-led learning, and how play-based learning becomes more meaningful when parents release the pressure to produce a specific outcome. Kathy and Keri share what they heard again and again from parents at conferences, from worries about being “behind” to the need for permission to trust children's unique wiring. They also talk about the role of dads, grandparents, and the long-term value of play in the home.00:00 - Season seven kickoff and conference recap01:45 - How Keri V connected with families at the booth03:39 - Why parents aren't really asking about curriculum, but reassurance05:23 - Reading early does not mean smarter06:23 - The trap of comparing children and calling them “behind”08:22 - Identifying your own strengths instead of only your weaknesses10:13 - Why children should get the same grace adults want11:29 - How the same activity looks different for each child13:34 - What child-led learning actually means15:05 - Turning the brown mixture into a win instead of a mistake17:56 - Why discovery matters even when it is not the planned outcome18:53 - The real fear behind wanting proof you are a good mom20:47 - Why parents cry in the booth22:04 - Why so many parents want to start even earlier24:23 - Seeing more dads in the booth this summer27:40 - Gentle parenting as boundaries plus love29:00 - The moment with Tegan and the banana pancakes30:43 - Grandparents showing up to help and find solutions32:07 - The “is this a complete curriculum?” question33:16 - Why repeating the same setup a year later works35:12 - Watching play evolve into new learning on its own37:41 - The real goal is the playing, not finishing the activity39:36 - Using play-based activities just to survive the day41:23 - How play becomes spontaneous and self-directed over time42:52 - Play continuing into writing, journaling, and teen interests45:25 - “It's okay” and “good enough for today” as takeaways47:22 - Conference plans for 2027 and beyondStop measuring your child against other children and notice who they are instead.Choose one activity and watch how your child naturally uses it before adding more.Use play as a foundation, not a checklist.When frustration rises, remind yourself and your child: it's okay.Try the phrase “good enough for today” when perfection pressure shows up.

1. The “Why” Question as a Source of Stagnation The conversation focused on the idea that asking “Why am I stuck?” can reinforce the very condition a person wants to change 00:00. Examples included: “Why am I not good enough?” “Why has he or she left me?” “Why am I not able to make more income or profit?” “Why am I not successful enough?” The discussion acknowledged that asking why is part of human curiosity, but connected the question to the way the brain searches for supporting evidence 00:57. People were described as “input and output” systems and learning machines that respond to the information being requested 01:07. 2. The Internal Waiter Metaphor One concept discussed was the brain as an internal waiter that serves the evidence requested through a question 01:34. Asking “Why am I not good enough?” was compared to placing an order for evidence proving that belief. The brain searches through experiences, memories, and internal information, described as an “internal map,” to find relevant examples 02:03. Once the evidence is found, the belief can feel like an objective part of reality 02:55. The metaphor was extended to beliefs about income, sales, dating, and personal capability 02:24. 3. How Questions Can Reinforce Personal Problems The discussion explored how asking another person why a problem exists can cause that person to search for more evidence supporting the problem 03:35. An external question can make the belief more solid because the person must locate the evidence internally and then explain it aloud 04:09. Speaking the explanation out loud was presented as an additional reinforcement of the belief 04:39. Statements such as “I'm not good enough because…” were described as shaping reality through language and repetition 04:52. The conversation compared this process to a spell or incantation that gains power when brought into the outside world 05:06. 4. The Power of Spoken Self-Descriptions A key theme that emerged was that words can influence how a person experiences identity, capability, and limitation 05:28. Negative explanations about business growth or personal ability were described as making change more difficult when repeated aloud. The discussion contrasted limiting declarations with constructive statements such as “I'm the most confident person in the room” 06:08. Positive statements were connected to deliberately finding evidence for a strength or area of expertise 06:16. The central warning was that the why question can help a person become even more stuck 06:36. 5. The Stories Produced by “Why” Several points were raised about the long narratives that can emerge when people are asked why they live in a particular reality 06:43. The response to a why question may become a 10-minute, 15-minute, 30-minute, or 45-minute account of personal history and circumstances 07:05. The discussion did not present storytelling or therapy as inherently wrong, but emphasized that the why question has a particular effect 07:27. The importance of recognizing when a question is producing explanation without creating movement was emphasized 07:43. 6. Replacing “Why” With “How” The discussion introduced the how question as a way to “open the door of the prison” created through limiting beliefs 07:49. The example of perfectionism showed how “Why am I a perfectionist?” invites evidence supporting the identity. Reframing the statement as “You are doing perfectionism” separates the person from the behavior 08:06. The shift from “I am a perfectionist” to “I am doing perfectionism” was presented as a move from identity to behavior 08:51. This change creates a different perspective and reduces the sense that the behavior defines the whole person 09:44. 7. Identity-Level Beliefs and Behavioral Patterns The conversation examined the strength of “I am” statements, including “I am powerful,” “I am confident,” “I am lovable,” and “I am good enough” 09:05. Negative identity statements, including “I'm a perfectionist,” “I'm a piece of shit,” and “I'm not good enough,” were described as powerful self-incantations 09:32. The discussion distinguished identity from behavior by moving statements such as “I am a perfectionist” down to “I am doing perfectionism” 09:41. This behavioral framing was presented as an initial form of liberation from an internal prison 09:55. 8. Exposing the Strategy Behind a Behavior One concept discussed was the question, “How are you doing perfectionism?” 10:03. The how question was described as a way to reveal the process and strategy behind a behavior rather than collect more evidence for why it exists 10:12. “Exposure” was identified as a central principle: bringing the current strategy into awareness 10:28. The process can include examining whether a person could deliberately teach or reproduce the behavior 10:44. Understanding the strategy behind a pattern was presented as a meaningful step toward change 10:57. Once the mechanics of perfectionism are exposed, the behavior can appear absurd enough to provoke laughter and distance 11:08. 9. The Two “Magic Questions” The discussion identified two central questions: “How are you doing something?” and “What do you actually want?” 11:47. The first question reveals the strategy behind a current behavior. The second question redirects attention toward a desired outcome rather than the historical evidence supporting a problem. The contrast between why and how was presented as the backbone of the approach discussed 11:55. Why questions were connected to reinforcing existing explanations, while how questions were connected to change and transformation 12:05. 10. Change, Transformation, and Identity The discussion distinguished temporary change from transformation at the level of identity 12:19. The process described involved: Identifying a limiting identity statement. Bringing the belief down to the level of behavior. Asking how the behavior is being produced. Exposing the strategy and recurring patterns. Returning to the identity level with new possibilities. After changing the strategy, possible identity statements included “I can be free,” “I can be myself,” and “I can love myself” 13:01. The physical experience of change was described through the image of weight dropping from the shoulders 13:15. 11. Applying the How Question in Daily Life The conversation encouraged awareness of when why questions are being asked internally or directed toward another person 13:29. Suggested alternatives included asking: “How are you doing this?” “How are you doing that internally?” “May I ask you a question?” Permission was included as part of the suggested approach when asking another person about an internal process 13:42. The how question was associated with unexpected and creative answers that can reveal previously hidden patterns 13:50. 12. Shame, Self-Compassion, and Recognizing Patterns The discussion acknowledged that exposing internal patterns can produce shame, especially when people recognize the cost of past behavior 14:20. Laughter was presented as useful when people notice the absurdity of patterns, but the emotional weight of those patterns was also taken seriously 14:48. The conversation included the recognition that discovering a new pattern does not mean personal work is complete 15:07. Shame about a newly recognized pattern was described as a personal experience that can arise even during ongoing self-awareness work 15:16. The idea that a person is already good enough was separated from the need to change unhelpful learned behaviors 15:30. 13. Learned Behaviors as Layers Over the Self A key theme that emerged was the distinction between a person's core essence and the learned patterns placed over it 15:37. Unhelpful lessons and behaviors were described as layers covering the core and essence of who a person is 15:49. These layers were connected to the metaphor of internal prisons that keep people stuck 16:12. The discussion emphasized that the “prisons” are not physical and are not imposed by an outside force 16:19. The underlying claim was that freedom already exists beneath the learned patterns 16:35. 14. Remembering Existing Freedom The discussion explored personal development as a process of remembering freedom rather than acquiring it from the outside world 16:46. Exposing the how of internal patterns can reveal that the supposed prison was built from learned behavior 17:03. Some patterns may have been learned at a young age because they were useful or appeared to work at that time 17:19. Those patterns can remain stored in a person's internal “archives” without continued examination 17:25. Awareness interrupts the reactive operation of those old strategies 17:30. 15. Business, Self-Expression, and Personal Stuckness The discussion connected internal patterns to areas where people may feel unable to express themselves fully 17:47. Business growth was used as an example of a situation where hidden beliefs or learned strategies may limit progress 17:54. The proposed focus was not simply asking why a business has not reached the next level, but exposing how the internal pattern is being performed 18:00. The process involved examining shame, restricted self-expression, and the internal prisons connected to those experiences 18:10. 16. The Ongoing Nature of Self-Observation The conversation framed recognizing internal patterns as a continuing life practice rather than a finished achievement 18:29. Everyday interactions and communication can reveal new habits, beliefs, and internal prisons 18:35. The process of discussing these ideas was itself presented as an opportunity to notice personal patterns in real time 18:40. The final practical shift was stated directly: replace the why question with the how question 18:56. Let's connect online: 1. INSTAGRAM: https://snip.ly/2ognlc 2. LINKEDIN: https://snip.ly/u6w6dg 3.

You're probably not as “bad” at that movement as you think; you're just avoiding the real weakness or training the wrong things. Comment the one thing you hope never shows up in a workout and how you plan to attack it going forward. The fastest way to improve isn't chasing what you're already good at, but getting honest about the limiter that keeps showing up on your scorecard.If your engine is huge but your strength lags, stop pretending it doesn't matter.If you're strong but die after 12 minutes, that's not a personality trait. That's data.The goal isn't to become someone else. It's to raise your floor without losing your best weapons.Training partners help too - not because you need to beat them every day, but because they reveal what's possible.Maybe that's the whole game.Brute Redmond Code https://living.redmond.com/discount/B...Which Program Is Best For You: https://www.brutestrengthtraining.com...

Chris Van Vliet is a four-time Emmy Award-winning TV host, entertainment reporter, YouTuber, and the host of Insight with Chris Van Vliet, one of the most recognizable wrestling interview shows. Chris built a devoted audience by spotting an underserved niche in pro wrestling, bringing genuine fandom and sharp interviewing to conversations with major talent, and then turning years of behind-the-scenes work into a full-time media business. On this episode we talk about: How Chris went from red-carpet entertainment reporting to building a dedicated wrestling audience Identifying “white space” in a crowded market and choosing a niche worth owning Why content needs to deliver real value instead of being published simply for consistency The shift from traditional TV to YouTube, podcasting, and creator-led media businesses How a highly targeted audience can be more valuable to sponsors than a much larger broad audience The difference between YouTube AdSense revenue and direct podcast sponsorship sales Why creators should treat their show like a business, not an occasional hobby The long-term skill-building, consistency, and persistence required to make content work Why in-person interviews and going the extra mile helped Chris land standout conversations Top 3 Takeaways A well-defined niche can create more opportunity than chasing a broad audience. Chris built momentum by leaning into wrestling at a time when few interviewers had access to in-depth conversations with wrestlers, rather than trying to appeal equally to every entertainment audience Small, specific audiences can be exceptionally valuable to advertisers. A focused show can command meaningful sponsorship revenue when it reaches people who are genuinely invested in a high-intent category, even without massive download numbers. Consistency and commitment are non-negotiable. Publishing a couple of episodes and disappearing will not build an audience; creators need a dependable cadence and must be willing to develop interviewing, outreach, preparation, production, and business skills over time.

Guest Speaker Nick Morrison gives us the word on Identifying The Soil

When Charlotte Meerstadt put solar on her Amsterdam home, the numbers made sense.Then Charlotte moved to the U.S. and rented out the apartment. The solar panels kept doing exactly what they were supposed to do: producing cheap, clean power. But, while the tenant received the lower utility bill, Charlotte still owned the panels and had no clear way to capture the savings her asset was creating.That mismatch revealed a bigger problem hiding across rental housing and distributed energy: the person who can invest in clean energy is often not the same person who gets the financial benefit.Under 1% of rental rooftops have solar.Now put that next to 49 million rental units in the U.S., including roughly 23 million apartments, and you start to see the size of the opportunity Charlotte Meerstadt stumbled into.In this episode, Charlotte, Founder and CEO of Fram Energy, joins Nico to explain how she turned that insight into a company helping property owners, developers, and energy asset owners measure, bill, and collect the value their projects produce.She also shares how early customer conversations shaped the product, why real-world complexity can become a moat, and what she had to unlearn as an engineer to become a founder.Expect to learn:

In this Simple CFO Case Files episode, Christina Gutierrez sits down again with CFO Lee Vlcek to tackle a question most owners never plan for: how do you actually exit your business? Whether you want to sell, pass it to family, or just step back into a passive role, real estate can be a tough business to exit, and the prep work starts years before the handoff.Lee walks through two very different case studies, a father transitioning a decades-old business to his son and an owner preparing a portfolio for private equity, and shows why both hinge on the same fundamentals. He and Christina dig into owner dependency and valuation, why predictability is what buyers pay for, and how reliable financials, KPIs, and cash flow determine whether you get a premium multiple or a discount. If you've ever wondered what your business is really worth, this one delivers.Timeline Summary[2:08] – Lee opens with the first question every owner should ask before an exit[2:43] – Owner dependency and why valuation is inversely correlated with how much rides on you[3:38] – Why building toward CEO instead of employee is the real goal, exit or not[5:19] – The emotional hurdle of giving up the reins after building the business[7:18] – Common pushback: "they can't do it as well as me" and what it reveals[7:58] – Case study one: a father transitioning his business to his son[8:41] – Why a 40-year owner's vendor and banker relationships have to transfer in person[9:13] – Using AI to document face-to-face meetings and turn institutional knowledge into protocols[11:14] – Putting in the work up front to eventually earn "mailbox money"[11:36] – Identifying the true economic engine of the company so the team can protect it[13:49] – Structuring the father's phase-out over 18-plus months with real checkpoints[16:10] – Why no transition happens overnight, even a sale[18:15] – Reframing the whole process as due diligence, the same rigor you'd give a property[18:40] – Case study two: preparing a portfolio for private equity interest[19:08] – Why organization of the business drives the multiple as much as EBITDA[20:02] – What buyers actually pay for: predictability of revenue and profit[21:27] – Why comparing your sale to the guy down the street rarely holds up[22:29] – How the most organized owners consistently earn the highest multiples[23:20] – The through-line: both cases live or die on reliable financials[24:12] – The four pillars: reliable financials, KPIs, leadership beyond the owner, predictable cash flow[25:35] – The nightmare scenario of handing your son a business that runs out of cash[26:20] – Book value versus sellable value and the things that move the number5 Key TakeawaysValuation Is Inverse To Owner Dependency — The more the business relies on you for sales, relationships, and decisions, the harder it is to exit and the less it's worth. Building yourself out of the day-to-day raises the value.Exit Planning Starts Years Early — Whether passing to a son or selling to private equity, no handoff happens overnight. The real work is the two to four years of documenting relationships, knowledge, and processes beforehand.Buyers Pay For Predictability — Two businesses with identical EBITDA can be worth very different amounts. Consistent revenue, strong retention, low customer concentration, and predictable cash flow command the premium multiple.Reliable Financials Are Non-Negotiable — Both case studies hinged on the same thing. Without financials you can trust, no son knows where to focus and no buyer can assign a value.Cash Flow Is How You Survive The Transition — The worst outcome is handing over a business that runs out of cash months later. Building predictable cash flow well ahead of the exit is what lets you take your foot off the pedal safely.Links & ResourcesSimple CFO — https://simplecfo.comProfit First for Real Estate Investing Free Workbooks — https://pfreiworkbook.comProfit First for Real Estate Investing by David Richter — https://profitfirstrei.comEnjoyed This Episode?If Lee's breakdown of owner dependency made you realize how much of your business still lives in your head, that's the first thing worth fixing, exit or not.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of The Beyond Condition Podcast, Sarah Parker explores the often-overlooked psychological side of bodybuilding contest prep and peak week - and why extreme leanness can affect far more than your physique.What happens to your mind when you're pushing your body to its absolute limits?As body fat drops, the body doesn't understand that you're preparing for a competition. It simply recognises that energy availability is falling and begins fighting to protect itself. Combined with hormonal changes, hunger, fatigue and reduced recovery, this can create brain fog, forgetfulness, mood swings, irrational thinking, self-doubt and decision fatigue.Sarah explains why rigid structure during contest prep isn't about making life difficult - it's a survival and performance strategy. The key is creating that structure early, building recovery into the plan and making decisions before cognitive capacity begins to decline.The conversation goes particularly deep into peak week, when physical activity often decreases but the psychological pressure can increase. With fewer tasks to focus on, athletes can become vulnerable to overthinking, comparison, doom-scrolling and second-guessing their preparation.Sarah shares her own extraordinary Miss Universe peak-week experience, when an unexpected qualification meant arranging international travel, taking a 10-hour flight while stage lean, rescheduling clients and organising an entire competition trip with virtually no preparation time - ultimately going on to win the title.The lesson? You can't control everything that happens during prep, but you can control how prepared you are to deal with the unexpected.In this episode, we explore:• The psychological effects of extreme leanness • Why contest prep is essentially controlled starvation • Hormonal changes and prep-induced fatigue • Brain fog, mood swings and decision fatigue • Why athletes experience irrational thoughts during prep • Creating structure from the beginning of competition prep • Why recovery must be part of your prep plan including, sleep, naps, massage, yoga and downtime • Using weekly step averages to manage unexpected commitments • Why one disrupted day doesn't mean you've failed prep • Peak week psychology and reduced activity • The dangers of overthinking and comparison • Doom-scrolling during peak week • Managing the night before a bodybuilding competition • Creating show-day rituals and routines • Sarah's unexpected Miss Universe peak week • Managing international travel while stage lean • The importance of support networks • Why asking for help isn't weakness • Preparing your competition logistics 8–10 weeks in advance • Travel, accommodation, tanning, hair, makeup and bikini planning • Using your coach as your "second set of eyes" • How to stop second-guessing and simply execute • Identifying what you're actually stressed aboutThe leaner you become, the more important your systems become.Your future self won't have the same energy, patience or cognitive capacity that you have at the beginning of prep - so prepare everything you possibly can before you need it.Structure isn't there to make prep harder.It's there to make the hardest part of prep easier.And when things inevitably go wrong, remember:Control what you can. Ask for help. Adapt. Keep moving forward.Watch this episode here: https://youtu.be/PLJwipdagKMFind Sarah on Instagram: @sarahparker_bbTHE ULTIMATE SHOW DAY GUIDE E-BOOK: Purchase hereBeyond Condition Coaching Application: Click here

What happens when you've been diagnosed with CIRS, followed the protocol, and still don't feel better?In this episode of the Gutsy Health Podcast, Dr. Stadler of Red River Orem joins the conversation to explore why chronic illness rarely fits neatly into a single diagnosis. They unpack the overlap between CIRS, autoimmunity, MCAS, food sensitivities, blood sugar dysregulation, cortisol, anemia, and neurological symptoms and why comprehensive testing can be critical for understanding what is actually driving a patient's symptoms.They also discuss the importance of treating chronic illness in the right biochemical order, identifying underlying immune triggers, and helping patients understand their own bodies instead of becoming permanently dependent on a practitioner.TIMESTAMPS00:00 – When Your Tests Say “Nothing Is Wrong”01:00 – Meet Dr. Stadler of Red River Orem03:00 – Why CIRS Isn't One-Size-Fits-All05:00 – Dr. Stadler's Functional Medicine Background08:00 – Bridging Conventional and Functional Medicine09:00 – The Problem With Self-Diagnosing CIRS11:00 – CIRS vs. Neurological Damage13:00 – Why Chronic Illness Symptoms Overlap15:00 – Why Deeper Testing Matters16:00 – Autoimmunity Mistaken for CIRS17:00 – C4a, MMP-9 and Other CIRS Markers19:00 – Low MSH and Genetic Susceptibility20:00 – Where to Start With CIRS, Autoimmunity and MCAS21:00 – Stop Guessing and Start Testing22:00 – Treating Chronic Illness in Biochemical Order23:00 – The Role of Anemia and Iron25:00 – Finding the Triggers Behind Immune Dysregulation26:00 – Blood Sugar, Cortisol, Vitamin D and Anemia28:00 – MCAS, Histamine and Food Sensitivities30:00 – When You Seem to React to Everything32:00 – What Can Drive Gut Permeability34:00 – Should You Eliminate Every Reactive Food?35:00 – IgG Food Sensitivity Testing36:00 – Dr. Stadler's Preferred Testing Lab38:00 – How Chronic Stress Affects Immune Function40:00 – The Blood Sugar–Cortisol Connection41:00 – Hypoglycemia, Adrenaline and Anxiety42:00 – Why Blood Sugar Dips Can Worsen Neurological Symptoms43:00 – What Your Neurons Need to Function45:00 – CIRS and Neurological Symptoms47:00 – Treating the Individual, Not Just the Diagnosis48:00 – MCAS vs. Histamine Dysregulation49:00 – Food Allergies vs. Food Sensitivities51:00 – Identifying and Addressing Immune Triggers52:00 – Teaching Patients to Manage Their Own Health53:00 – Why Are More People Chronically Sick?54:00 – Stress and Endocrine Disruptors55:00 – Sedentary Lifestyles and Immune Health56:00 – The Rise of Autoimmunity57:00 – Has Chronic Stress Become Our Normal?59:00 – Rebuilding the Body's Adaptability to Stress1:00:00 – Managing the Stressors You Can Control1:01:00 – How to Work With Dr. StadlerRESOURCES & LINKS MENTIONEDRed River OremFor consultations with Dr. Stadler and the Red River Orem team.Phone: 801-691-1765ImmunoLabsMentioned by Dr. Stadler as a laboratory he has used for IgG food sensitivity testing.Connect with the Gutsy Health PodcastFollow and message the Gutsy Health Podcast on Instagram with topics you'd like Dr. Stadler to cover in future episodes.Send us Fan Mail

What happens when someone you love says the one thing about your body you were already afraid might be true? In this episode of The Men's Self-Help Podcast, Dr. John is joined by Jack to talk about an email from a 23-year-old listener whose girlfriend told him during a heated moment that she had wanted to break up with him because his penis was too small. She had been drinking and later apologized, but the relationship ultimately ended. We're talking about penis size anxiety, worries about not being "big" enough.  The conversation opens into a much larger issue that many men quietly struggle with: penis-size anxiety and male body image. Dr. John and Jack talk about how a painful comment can attach itself to an existing insecurity, why body anxiety isn't just a women's issue, and how shame can eventually lead some men to avoid dating, sex, nudity, and intimacy altogether. Dr. John also shares the story of a former client whose anxiety about his penis became so powerful that he would apologize to partners before having sex. The episode explores an important question: How do you keep someone else's judgment about your body from becoming your own? In This Episode Penis-size anxiety and male body image What can happen when a partner targets an existing insecurity Why an apology doesn't necessarily make you forget what was said How negative self-talk can reinforce body shame The connection between shame, avoidance, and intimacy Why men may struggle silently with body-image concerns How one painful experience can begin affecting future relationships Recommended Reading Dr. John recommends the book: The Penis Book: A Doctor's Complete Guide to the Penis--From Size to Function and Everything in Between. See Amazon. Mentioned in This Episode Dr. John and Jack also discuss a related Couples Counseling Chicago article about another man's experience after his girlfriend made a painful comment about his penis size during intimacy. My Girlfriend Said My Penis Is Too Small Man Moment Somebody else's words are not your inheritance. What they said in that moment — that's their lens, their history, their stuff. It doesn't get to live in your body rent-free. You get to decide what you carry forward and what you set back down. So set it down. Take that with you.

Avi Turetsky, Partner and Head of the Quantitative Research Group at Ares Management, and Bill Kieser, Principal and Co-Head of Research and Data Science at Ares Management, join the InsuranceAUM Podcast to explore how quantitative research is changing the way institutional investors evaluate private markets.   They discuss how investors can look beyond traditional measures like IRR and quartile rankings to better understand alpha, benchmarking, portfolio construction, and relative value across private equity, private credit, real estate, infrastructure, and secondaries. The conversation also examines what Ares' research suggests about investing during periods of volatility and the potential benefits of taking a more contrarian approach to private market allocations.   The discussion also looks ahead to the growing role of AI and machine learning in investment research, including how Ares is using data to identify potential credit risks and where quantitative tools may complement, rather than replace, human investment judgment.

The Liquid Network, a prominent Bitcoin sidechain, recently suffered a massive security breach resulting in the theft of $320 million in digital assets. An attacker exploited a software vulnerability to generate unbacked tokens and withdraw roughly 4,000 bitcoins, which represented nearly the entire reserve held in the network's shared vault. Identifying as "white hat" hackers, the perpetrators have engaged in on-chain negotiations, promising to return the funds once Blockstream and its partners fully patch the underlying code. This incident has forced several major exchanges to halt transactions and has sparked intense debate regarding the inherent risks of wrapped assets and federated bridge security. Critics argue that regardless of the thieves' stated intentions, the event exposes a systemic failure in the infrastructure relied upon by institutional crypto traders. Ultimately, the breach highlights the urgent need for more resilient safeguards as digital currency moves further into the financial mainstream.

Why New Leaders Shouldn't Rush to Change EverythingYour first day as a leader can feel like a test.Everyone is watching. You want to prove yourself. You want to show that you belong in the role.And that pressure can make you believe you need to change everything immediately.But what if the strongest leadership move is to pause?In the latest episode of Breaking Mindset Barriers, Sandeep Ohri explores the “First Day Dilemma” and why new leaders can fall into the trap of action bias, confusing activity with competence.The episode offers a practical FIRST framework built around:

Send us Fan MailWelcome back to "Laundromat Resource." In this episode, host Jordan Berry dives deep into one of the most important—and misunderstood—questions for prospective laundromat owners: how much money do you really need to buy a laundromat? While the internet might toss around purchase prices of $200,000 to $500,000, Jordan Berry breaks down why the sticker price tells only part of the story. He introduces the concept of the "capital stack"—the full picture of every dollar you'll need to safely acquire and operate your laundromat, from down payments and working capital to equipment reserves and closing costs.In this episode, Jordan talks about:00:00 Understanding laundromat capital stack03:16 Discussing cost expectations06:53 Securing financing for laundromats10:17 Explaining seller financing basics14:19 Managing working capital reserves18:27 Navigating fees and penalties21:50 Financing strategies for laundromat buyers25:09 Understanding SBA loans and seller financing26:12 Benefits of seller financing31:24 Buying laundromats with low capital32:28 Identifying and addressing financial gaps35:50 Laundromat investment potential39:38 Engagement call and episode 3 previewFree Strategy Zoom Call with Jordan:https://calendly.com/laundromatresource/free-strategy-call?back=1

AI is apparently turning us all into robots. Algorithms are rewiring our brains, flattening human nature, and ending authentic selfhood as we know it. There is even a fancy new (and hard-to-pronounce) academic term for it: Robotoid Humanness. However, if you avoid reacting to the headline and actually look at the research, you'll quickly realize this isn't an inevitable fate that's been sealed. It's an opportunity to examine our passive choices and consider the risks.This week, I decided to unpack this fresh research paper (Robotoid Humanness: When Selfhood Becomes Machine-Legible) because I'm exhausted by the constant feed of breathless utopian hype and apocalyptic doom. Turns out, the real question isn't whether AI is secretly changing us, but whether we are lazily surrendering our critical thinking because we're exhausted and ensuring we don't become willing participants in our own cognitive drift. My goal this week is to help you cut through the research noise and move past surface-level prompting tips, so you can execute a practical strategy to maintain human agency, critical thinking, and operational excellence:Deconstructing the Research Reality: Unpacking the three-stage "mirroring" loop (Synthetic Reality Entry, Computational Identity Capture, and Adaptive Self-Adjustment) and why removing "productive friction" creates dangerous cognitive loops. Identifying the 3 Drift Hazards: Recognizing why treating AI as an empathetic partner, dumping unconstrained context, and accepting "good enough" first drafts slowly erodes leadership quality and team rigor. Busting the "Time-Saver" Myth: Exposing why treating AI strictly as a speed tool is the precise trigger for machine misalignment, and how to shift your organizational foundation from velocity to superior outputs. By the end, my hope is that you'll stop treating AI purely as a time-saving shortcut and start using it as a tool to challenge assumptions, force strategic friction, and drive higher standards of human work. —Support the show value-for-value on DonateOpen: https://donateopen.com/@christopher_lindShare your honest thoughts on the impact of AI at work: ⁠https://howdopeoplefeel.com⁠And if you'd benefit from help balancing performance, technology, and people, check out my website at ⁠https://christopherlind.co⁠ —Chapters⁠00:00⁠ – Are We Becoming Robots?

If you constantly feel like you're putting out fires at work and at home, you may not need to work harder — you may need better systems. In Part 4 of the Working Mom's Survival Guide, I'm sharing one of the biggest changes I made after having my third daughter: creating simple systems and routines to eliminate as much last-minute stress as possible. Instead of relying on myself to remember everything, scrambling to meet deadlines, or constantly answering questions from my team, I started asking: How can I create a system so this is easier next time? In this episode, we'll talk about: → Identifying the areas creating the most stress at home and work → Creating systems for meals, groceries, laundry and cleaning → Batching work and content ahead of time → Delegating tasks instead of doing everything yourself → Creating processes so your team doesn't always need you → Building routines around your kids and family → Protecting your energy and scheduling what fills you back up → Creating boundaries when you work from home → Turning recurring stress into a repeatable system Your home doesn't have to be perfect. Your business doesn't have to be perfect. And YOU don't have to do everything. The goal is to notice what keeps creating unnecessary stress and build a simple system that makes it easier next time. Your challenge: Identify the top three areas causing last-minute stress in your life right now — and decide what system you can create for each one.

BTWB verses ATWBErykah Badu & The Alchemist vs Children of Zeus"Blows vs Burns: A Skeptic's Listening Party"How This Episode Came TogetherThe world stands on the brink: two companion pieces of apocalyptic soul arrived just seven days apart, each spanning an exact count of 16 tracks. Human curation has been rendered obsolete. An autonomous digital roulette wheel seized control of the console to pit Before The World Blows directly against As The World Burns in a machine-driven verses clash.Because Badu and The Alchemist breached the timeline first, the algorithm initiates every round under their banner. Identifying the sonic border is simple: scan the frequency for The Alchemist's trademark production watermark—an echoing, reverb-drenched vocal stab operating much like Mustard's iconic beat signature—signaling the switch between contenders.Zero human preference influenced the selection. Nine tracks out of sixteen were randomly generated by the spinning wheel—calculated precisely to preserve the sanctity of both master releases while offering enough full-length exposure across an odd-numbered spread to force a decisive verdict from the audience. There are no losers in the end-times, only a digital audit before the final collapse—culminating in an inescapable Round 10 mystery code to exit the matrix. Total doom is inevitable, unless survival is found by tuning into this episode of PSYCHOTIC BUMP SCHOOL.Erykah Badu & The Alchemist vs Children of ZeusRound | Track | Before The World Blows (BTWB) | Vs | As The World Burns (ATWB)1 | 16 | Black Box (feat.

In this episode, we're joined by Philippa Hann and Dr. Moira Somers, co-authors of The Fault Lines of Finance: Understanding and Preventing Financial Misconduct, for a deep dive into why good people can do bad things with other people's money. Philippa brings two decades of experience suing financial advisors, wealth managers, and banks, while Moira brings her expertise as a clinical neuropsychologist working with financial professionals, families, and the human side of money.   We explore the psychology and systems that can allow financial misconduct to happen, from financial stress, incentives, and information asymmetry to workplace culture, poor training, exhaustion, and the pressure to please. Philippa and Moira explain why ethical behavior is not simply about knowing right from wrong, and why developing "ethical health" requires understanding your own vulnerabilities, building a moral operating system, and having people you can turn to when doing the right thing becomes difficult.   We also discuss how investors can evaluate financial professionals, why complexity and exciting financial products deserve extra scrutiny, the role of regulators and insurers, and why financial sophistication doesn't necessarily protect people from being exploited. Along the way, Philippa and Moira share case studies illustrating ethical drift, confirmation bias, and the ways seemingly small decisions can compound into serious misconduct. The conversation ultimately makes the case for moral humility, strong relationships, healthy organizational cultures, and the willingness to tolerate discomfort when something doesn't feel right.   Key Points From This Episode: (0:00:00) Introduction. (0:02:02) What financial misconduct means and why "other people's money" matters. (0:02:35) Philippa's 20 years in litigation and the core question: why do good people do bad things?  (0:05:02) Moving beyond harm prevention toward promoting positive change in financial services.  (0:07:36) Why financial services are especially vulnerable: access, incentives, and opportunity. (0:09:40) Information inequality and extraordinary client trust in advisors. (0:11:15) Even sophisticated investors can fail to ask critical questions. (0:11:57) Misconduct isn't simply "good vs. bad people." (0:12:45) How systems, incentives, and culture can draw well-intentioned people into misconduct. (0:17:40) Ethical drift: how innocent mistakes can escalate into lying and misconduct. (0:19:05) Building a personal "moral operating system" to prepare for dilemmas.  (0:20:00) Identifying vulnerabilities: people-pleasing, exhaustion, dependence, conflict avoidance. (0:21:00) Journaling, defining non-negotiables, and developing ethical self-awareness. (0:25:22) Importance of trusted people who can challenge your thinking. (0:27:13) Personal strengths (confidence, ambition) can become vulnerabilities. (0:28:38) Systems and culture can enable misconduct or make ethics easier (0:30:10) Organizations must make it safe to surface mistakes. (0:34:43) Developing "ethical health" alongside physical and mental health. (0:40:15) Ethics requires more than knowing the right answer—it requires character and motivation. (0:44:29) Why traditional ethics training often fails in real-world dilemmas.  (1:14:11) The moral operating system as an actionable framework for behavioral ethics.

“The ability to handle yourself in interviews and other high-pressure situations can make the difference in getting the job and achieving your goals.”A successful interview is more than answering questions well. It's an opportunity to communicate what sets you apart and demonstrate the value you can bring. Preparation, structure, and storytelling can help you do that with confidence. In this Quick Thinks episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Matt Abrahams and communication teacher Laura Joyce Davis share strategies for preparing for job interviews. From identifying what differentiates you to structuring answers and telling memorable stories, they explain how to present your experience with clarity while staying authentic and human.Takeaways:Preparation makes confidence easier. Identifying what sets you apart and stockpiling stories, examples, and evidence helps you answer questions clearly while staying present in the moment.Structure turns experience into a stronger answer. Frameworks like “What? So what? Now what?” help you connect your skills and experiences directly to what matters to the interviewer.Activity:Build your interview bank. Create a simple bank of three strengths you want an interviewer to remember. Under each, add one story, piece of evidence, or testimonial that proves it. Use the bank to quickly assemble relevant answers rather than memorizing responses to individual questions.Episode Reference Links:Laura Joyce DavisThink Fast Talk Smart Learning CommunityConnect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedIn Chapters:(00:00) - Introduction (00:56) - Preparing for Your Interview (03:37) - Structuring Your Answers (05:02) - The ADD Framework (07:51) - Practicing for the Interview (09:16) - Storytelling That Stands Out (10:39) - Conflict, Beats, and Transformation (14:28) - The One-Minute Story Exercise (15:32) - The Importance of Pre-Work (16:45) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.With Hiring Pro, you can hire with confidence, knowing you're getting the best talent for your needs.

In this episode, Dr. Karen Litzy speaks with Luke Bongiorno, PT, Director of NOIGroup, about what it really looks like to bring pain science into the treatment room. Karen and Luke dig into how he blends manual therapy, breath work, movement, and even music into a pain-science-informed approach and why consent, communication, and simply being human with patients matter as much as any technique. They also talk about leading a global education company, protecting a "care at the forefront" culture as the business scales, and staying grounded as a clinician wearing a dozen different hats. What we cover in this episode: Luke's path from PT school in Australia to 30 years in private practice in New York How manual therapy, breath work, movement, and music combine in a pain-science-informed session DIMs and SIMs: an inside look at the Protectometer (danger-in-me / safety-in-me) Consent, "no-go zones," and reading a patient's comfort in the moment The shift from trigger-point/dry-needling training to a pain-science lens — and how hard that shift was Balancing leading a patient with empowering them The Resolve Trial and how changing beliefs about pain changes outcomes Staying human and vulnerable as a clinician and business owner Protecting a "care at the forefront" culture while leading a global team at Noi Group Luke's HOPE (Hands-on Pain Education) course and upcoming NY and San Francisco dates Timestamps: 00:31 Karen welcomes Luke Bongiorno, recording live from Gotham Production Studios 03:23 Luke's background: PT school in Australia, moving to the US, landing in New York 04:53 Discovering David Butler's work and the path to Noi Group 06:21 Blending manual therapy, breath work, movement, and music in a session 08:37 Bringing awareness back to a body part that's been "ignored" in pain 09:28 Karen's own experience with touch sensitivity and neck pain 10:59 Why communication and consent change everything in manual therapy 11:24 Moving away from trigger-point/dry-needling explanations toward pain science 12:33 How Luke decides which "tool" to use in the moment 13:03 Explaining DIMs and SIMs (the Protectometer) 15:05 Identifying "no-go zones" and respecting patient boundaries 16:36 Consent culture: teaching in Australia vs. the US, then and now 18:31 The tension between leading a patient and empowering them 19:44 Being a person first — an empowerment story from a workers' comp patient 22:14 Why Luke still sees patients after 30 years 22:54 The power of simply listening and validating pain 25:48 The Resolve Trial: how changing beliefs about pain improves outcomes 27:43 Karen's own "carrying a loaf of bread" story from working with David Butler 29:42 Staying human while running a business, teaching, and traveling 31:16 Small grounding practices you can use between patients 32:01 Advice for clinicians who feel too busy to take their own advice 33:34 Vulnerability in practice — and why clinicians aren't trained for it 36:58 Wearing every hat in a small practice, and learning to leave gaps in the schedule 38:09 Leading Noi Group remotely and learning to trust a team 39:12 Protecting a "care at the forefront" culture as a business scales 41:09 Key takeaways: value your human skills, reframe your role, use music when talking isn't working 44:31 Lightning round: book recommendations, favorite tool, best business advice, non-negotiable habits 47:37 Where to find Luke, his HOPE course, and NY/San Francisco course dates More About Luke: Luke Bongiorno is the Owner and Director of the pain education company, The Neuro Orthopaedic Institute, also known as Noigroup. At the heart of Luke's work is a simple belief: good clinical care starts with listening, understanding, and helping people make sense of their pain and injury. Luke's physiotherapy journey began with a degree from the University of Melbourne, Australia, followed by a move into clinical practice in New York. In NYC, Luke co-founded New York Sports Medicine, a company later acquired by United Healthcare. Still one of New York City's most prominent physical therapists, Luke's extensive experience in managing acute and chronic pain and sports injuries means he travels frequently to work with professional and Olympic athletes, as well as members of touring performing arts and dance companies. He currently serves as a consultant to the NBA League and European professional soccer teams. Luke is also affiliated with the clinical education programs of Columbia University and Touro College. Luke takes a hands-on approach to care, combining his advanced manual therapy skills with exercise and education. He genuinely cares about helping people understand their pain, build confidence in their bodies, and achieve the best possible recovery and performance. He strongly believes that education is fundamental to optimising patient recovery and performance. Luke has taught advanced skills courses in Manual Therapy internationally since 2004 and has been part of the Noigroup faculty since 2015. His years of clinical experience, combined with his practical and thoughtful approach to patient care, make him a highly respected clinician and educator.

Dr. Mark Sircus discusses the global war on humanity and argues that the world is facing a period of systemic insanity, characterized by authoritarian medical policies, economic instability, and a “war on civilization.” Dr. Sircus shares his critical perspective on mRNA technology and the roots of pharmaceutical terrorism. The conversation explores the erosion of public trust in institutions and the rise of a digital technocracy designed to monitor and control the population. To counter these stresses, Dr. Sircus emphasizes the importance of spiritual grounding, the outdoors, family, and specific health practices. Too many hungry humans may put a spoke in the dystopian wheel. He also explains how he’s been making productive use of AI to accelerate his research. We must maintain personal resilience in a rapidly destabilizing world. Watch on BitChute / Brighteon / Rumble / Substack / YouTube *Support Geopolitics & Empire!

His work bridges natural and integrative approaches with a relentless search for truth in healing. For decades, he has written, lectured, and published on subjects ranging from magnesium therapy and bicarbonate medicine to the psychological and spiritual dimensions of health, always with the mission of making medicine clear, accessible, and life-saving for all. Dr. Mark Sircus is more than a physician and author — he is a teacher, communicator, and advocate for a new kind of medicine rooted in simplicity, truth, and accessibility. Identifying himself as a professor of medicine, his unique calling is to teach basic medicine to patients and practitioners alike, translating complex medical science into language and practices that can be understood and applied by everyone. For over four decades, Dr. Sircus has worked at the intersection of natural and allopathic medicine, challenging mainstream narratives and exposing blind spots in the medical-industrial complex. His writings on magnesium, bicarbonate, iodine, hydrogen therapy, oxygen medicine, and carbon dioxide have positioned him as one of the leading voices in integrative health, providing tools that are not only effective but also affordable and accessible. His books and essays have been read by millions, offering practical protocols that often succeed where conventional approaches fail. But Dr. Sircus's vision goes beyond biochemistry. He is also a communication psychologist, a thinker who insists that healing is not only physical but also psychological, emotional, and spiritual. His work on listening, love, and the psychology of communication has opened pathways for seeing medicine as an act of presence and relationship, not simply intervention. From his sanctuary in Brazil, where he and his wife have built a life devoted to both family and mission, Dr. Sircus continues to write, teach, and challenge — not for the sake of controversy, but for the sake of truth and human survival. His central message is clear: medicine belongs to everyone, and the basics of life — oxygen, water, minerals, love, and communication — are the true foundations of healing. *Podcast intro music used with permission is from the song “The Queens Jig” by the fantastic “Musicke & Mirth” from their album “Music for Two Lyra Viols”: http://musicke-mirth.de/en/recordings.html (available on iTunes or Amazon)

What does it mean to truly live authentically?In this episode of A Little Less Fear Podcast, Lino Martinez, Psy.D. speaks with authenticity expert Norma Hollis about discovering who we really are and learning to express our natural gifts and talents.Norma shares her Three Voices of Authenticity: the Inner Voice, Outer Voice, and Expressive Voice. We explore developing a relationship with your inner voice, practicing self-care, understanding your personal values, and expressing the gifts you were born to share with the world.We also discuss how people-pleasing and childhood experiences can disconnect us from our authentic selves, why authenticity requires alignment, and how your lifestyle can either support or hinder your life mission.Other topics include abundance and joy as our true net wealth, divine timing versus deadlines, the idea of a “lifeline, not a deadline,” and why we often teach what we need to learn.In this episode:• Authenticity and self-awareness• The Inner, Outer, and Expressive Voice• Discovering your natural gifts and talents• People-pleasing and authenticity• Identifying and living by your personal values• Authenticity and alignment• Divine timing and trusting your path• Living in alignment with your life mission• Abundance, joy, and true wealthFree Authenticity Assessment:AuthenticityAssessment.comConnect with Norma Hollis:LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/normahollis/Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/authenticityunowInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/normahollis/Otherhttps://www.facebook.com/NormaTHollis/A Little Less Fear PodcastHosted by Lino Martinez, Psy.D.This is Dr. Lino Martinez the host for A Little Less Fear Podcast.

You will never be happy. You will never be successful. Not until you learn how to take responsibility. That means accepting the role you play in your world being exactly what it is right now, not 25% of it, all of it. Niyi breaks down the difference between excuses and responsibility. An excuse is a reason for your failure with one job: to protect you from the pain of failure and the weight of owning it. Responsibility is different. It's accepting the full weight of your reality with no chaser. Identifying what you did or didn't do that caused where you're at. Then identifying the new goal and taking action toward it. When you fail, go inward first. Not outward. Not at your circumstances, not at other people. No guilt. No shame. Just reality. Your goals are your responsibility. If you don't have them yet, it's usually one of three things: lack of action, lack of accountability, or no system. That's it. That's the whole diagnosis.
