This shifts brain activity to your prefrontal cortex, the rational side of your mind.Don't Leave the Room: Avoid the urge to flee. Staying in the location teaches your brain that the environment is actually safe, updating your internal "safety map".Rest After, Not Instead Of: A panic attack is physically exhausting. Treat yourself with kindness afterward—hydrate, move gently, and allow for quiet time.A Note From MartinIf you're tired of just "surviving" these moments and are ready to stop them at the source, I invite you to join me for my Anxiety Circuit Breaker Course.

Codifying your knowledge into intellectual property (IP) is a crucial step for scaling any business, but what my guest Mo Bunnell shared in this episode completely changed my perspective on how to do it and the incredible impact it can have. Mo, author of Give to Grow and founder of the Bundle Idea Group, has built an astonishing career training professionals at some of the world's most prestigious organizations. He walked me through the evolution of his IP, from humble beginnings to the sophisticated materials he uses today to secure multi-six-figure contracts. This isn't something he typically breaks down publicly, and I was genuinely surprised by the tangible examples and actionable steps he provided for transforming a service-based business into an IP-driven powerhouse.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction02:29 Codifying your system in a weekend05:07 From intuition to framework: creating IP08:00 The evolution of training materials11:20 Essential elements of effective IP18:30 The economics of B2B and corporate clients21:00 How to get your first pilot clients26:00 Overcoming B2B objections29:00 Translating B2C IP to B2B corporate world31:00 Identifying high-leverage industries and roles34:00 Lowering the bar on perfection for B2B37:00 Lead magnets for decision-makers vs. users41:40 Advanced lead magnet strategies45:20 The power of public workshops49:40 Scaling beyond yourself: travel and certification52:45 Michael Hyatt's Business Accelerator growth56:00 The annuity effect of corporate trainingIf you enjoyed this episode, please like and subscribe, share it with your friends, and leave a review.

What if the pressure to find your “dream job” is actually what's keeping you stuck? In this episode of Merging Into Life, Sabrina Pierotti sits down with career coach Sam DeMase to unpack the realities of career pivots, burnout, toxic work environments, and why modern careers no longer follow a straight line. Sam DeMase explains why today's careers look more like mosaics than ladders, how Gen Z and millennials are redefining loyalty in the workplace, and why changing paths doesn't mean starting over. Together, they dive into the emotional side of career transitions, from identity loss and fear to the guilt of leaving jobs that no longer fit. Whether you're quietly questioning your current role, navigating burnout, or dreaming about something new, this conversation is a reminder that it's never too late to pivot toward a career that actually supports your life.Read Power Mood

What if the premiums you're paying your insurance company could partially come back to you? That's the premise behind captive insurance, and it's been standard practice in large multifamily for years. SFR is just now catching up.In this episode, I'm joined by Nicolas Lares, founder of Insur3Tech, a brokerage that places property managers and rental owners into captive insurance structures (essentially co-owned insurance companies where policyholders share in the underwriting profit).We discuss:(00:02:27) - Nicolas's background in insurance(00:05:18) - Building an insurance company from scratch(00:07:05) - Why carriers left despite profitability(00:13:24) - The origin story of insurance(00:20:19) - Sponsor - Enterprise Bank & Trust(00:15:55) - Are insurance companies unfair?(00:21:43) - What is a captive insurance program(00:25:31) - How captives work for property managers(00:31:34) - Identifying good operators through data(00:34:59) - Administering captive programs(00:37:45) - Sponsor - Haven AI(00:39:14) - Handling disputed claims(00:44:22) - What happens in catastrophic events(00:46:22) - Captives for scattered site managers(00:49:33) - Renters insurance captive profitability(00:53:36) - What people should be asking when shopping captives(00:58:55) - How captives get started and funded(01:02:46) - How InsurTech fits into the market(01:05:34) - ClosingFair warning: I push back on some of the framing.

Send us Fan MailA single correction can expose a big spiritual problem: do we care more about being right, or about being seen? We open by talking about the humility it takes to admit a mistake and remove something misleading, especially when we're teaching or posting about the Word of God. Truth matters, and so does motive, because the pressure to perform can quietly turn faith into a brand.Then we dig into Romans 2 where Paul dismantles confidence in outward privilege. Having the law, a strong religious history, the right label, or the right community does not rescue a bankrupt heart. We talk about what Paul means when he says someone is not defined by what's outward, and why circumcision of the heart exposes every version of performative religion, from ethnic pride to denominational boasting to spiritual one-upmanship.We also wrestle with a practical question that gets people heated: what makes a church a church? We argue for biblical fellowship centered on the unfiltered gospel and the truth of Scripture, whether believers gather in a building or a home. Finally, we clarify baptism and communion: they are not saving rituals, but they are meaningful acts of obedience and remembrance that point us back to Christ and invite honest self-examination.If you want a clearer, calmer, more biblical way to think about Christian identity, church life, and outward signs, hit play.

Send us Fan MailIf you've ever felt tempted to trust a religious label more than a transformed life, Romans 2:25-29 will not let you stay comfortable. We work slowly through Paul's argument that circumcision, the most prized outward marker of covenant identity, only “profits” when it matches real obedience. When the heart is unchanged, the sign becomes empty, and the confidence built on it collapses. That single idea confronts hypocrisy, spiritual performance, and the quiet pride of thinking our affiliation makes us safe.From there, we connect Paul's logic to modern Christian life, especially water baptism. Baptism matters as a public witness, but it cannot create salvation or replace the inward work of the Holy Spirit. We talk about what “circumcision of the heart” means in everyday terms: repentance, living faith, and obedience that flows from a renewed inner life, not from pressure to look the part. Along the way we stress a key gospel theme: justification is not earned by rituals, sacraments, ceremonies, or outward compliance.We also address a problem many Christians face online and in church spaces: people who try to read your heart by inspecting your “fruit” from the outside. Paul's challenge pushes us to examine ourselves first, refuse conscience-binding from self-appointed judges, and anchor assurance in what God actually praises.

Send us Fan MailA mom asks her own child for baptism, and the request triggers a question many Christians carry quietly: am I even allowed to do this? We start with that vulnerable moment and follow it into a bigger, sharper conversation about Christian baptism, spiritual authority, and why so many churches treat credentials like the real source of power. We don't romanticize it. We talk about fear, obedience, and the strange mercy of realizing God can use you even when you don't feel qualified.From there we take aim at the man-made layers that get stacked on top of simple faith: rules that can't be shown in Scripture, ritual that replaces meaning, and gatekeeping that turns discipleship into a status game. If you've ever been cornered with “What church do you go to?” or made to feel suspect because you don't match someone else's worship process, we explain why that pressure often misses the point. The call is straightforward: open the Bible, ask for chapter and verse, and stop letting people bind your conscience with preferences dressed up as commands.We then dig into Romans 2:28–29 and the “circumcision of the heart” to show why outward marks can't produce inward life. That leads to salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, Christ fulfilling the law, what “It is finished” truly means, and how the atonement is an accomplished work that believers come to understand when faith is given. If you want a Bible-centered reset on baptism, assurance, and living for God's approval rather than human praise, this one will stay with you.Subscribe for more verse-forward conversations, share this with a friend who feels “unqualified,” and leave a review telling us what part challenged you most.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!
Send us Fan MailThe most unsettling question we raise is also the most comforting: what if your salvation doesn't start in time at all? We follow the thread of Christ as the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world and ask what that means for election, atonement, and the way God's people show up in history. If Jesus is truly prepared “before,” then redemption is not built on our effort, our consistency, or our ability to keep ourselves saved. It rests on God's eternal purpose and Christ's finished work. We lean on vivid Scripture anchors and plain-language illustrations, including the parable of the lost coin: lost doesn't mean unowned. That single shift changes how you read being born in sin, being found by grace, and why the gospel is preached broadly while God effectually brings his sheep home. From there, we talk union with Christ as the center of salvation, why communion points to an intimate bond that cannot be severed, and why “in Christ” is worth meditating on when your mind spirals. The episode also tackles the pressure to perform spiritually. We walk through Romans 2 on circumcision of the heart, the difference between outward religion and inward reality, and the kind of “praise” that matters: approval from God rather than people. If you've been measured by Christian formulas, credentials, or reputation, this conversation offers a clearer test grounded in regeneration and the Spirit's work within.

If we're wired for joy, why do so many successful people feel exhausted, disconnected, or emotionally flat? On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with psychiatrist, researcher, and author Dr. Judith Joseph, whose team conducted the first peer-reviewed clinical study on high-functioning depression. We talk about why feeling "fine" on the outside doesn't always reflect what's happening beneath the surface—and why so many people struggle to feel fully alive. You'll learn: Why achievement and productivity don't always lead to fulfillment How to tell whether you're burned out—or struggling with high-functioning depression The surprising connection between unresolved trauma, people-pleasing, and chronic stress What your phone, social media habits, and screen time may be doing to your mood How to start reclaiming joy when life feels flat, exhausting, or unfulfilling Like many people, I've spent periods of my life focused on achievement and productivity, believing fulfillment would follow. I've learned that the most important work isn't always doing more—it's understanding what's keeping us from fully experiencing joy in the first place. Want to explore this further? Dr. Judith Joseph offers several self-assessments under the "Quiz" tab on her website, including tools for anhedonia, high-functioning depression, and trauma.

CardioNerds (Drs. Rawan Amir, Tripti Gupta, and Alysha Joseph) discuss the fundamentals of adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) surgery with Dr. Elizabeth Stephens. Audio editing by CardioNerds academy intern, Grace Qiu. Using a case of a young adult undergoing a Ross procedure, the episode walks through what happens in the operating room—from induction and intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), myocardial protection, and surgical repair. The discussion highlights key concepts including cardioplegia, cross-clamp and bypass times, hypothermic circulatory arrest, and the complexity of redo sternotomy. This episode provides learners with a practical framework to interpret operative reports, anticipate postoperative physiology, and better collaborate with surgical teams. This episode was produced by the CardioNerds ACHD Council and planned by Dr. Rawan Amir. CardioNerds Adult Congenital Heart Disease PageCardioNerds Episode Page Pearls “LV distension kills patients.”Preventing left ventricular distension with appropriate venting and awareness of aortic insufficiency is critical to intraoperative safety. TEE can change the surgical plan in real time.Findings such as underestimated aortic regurgitation, mitral pathology, or a PFO may directly alter cannulation and cardioplegia strategy. Cross-clamp time = myocardial ischemic time; bypass time = systemic stress.Both are key predictors of postoperative complications including renal injury, bleeding, and ventricular dysfunction. Redo sternotomy risk is driven by anatomy, not just number.Aorta adherent to the sternum, conduit position, and chamber pressurization define risk more than the number of prior surgeries. Think longitudinally—ACHD surgery is lifetime planning.Surgical materials and strategies must account for future interventions, especially in younger patients. Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Alysha Joseph, aided by generative artificial intelligence. What are the key steps in congenital cardiac surgery from incision to closure? Preoperative planning is multidisciplinary, involving surgeon, anesthesia, cardiology, and ICU teams; high-risk inductions (e.g., critical AS, Williams syndrome) are identified early TEE is performed immediately after induction to reassess anatomy and may reveal new findings (e.g., underestimated AI, mitral disease, PFO) Median sternotomy is performed, followed by creation of a pericardial well to optimize exposure Heparin is administered prior to cannulation; arterial and venous cannulas are placed for initiation of CPB Cross-clamp is applied and cardioplegia delivered to arrest the heart, allowing a still and protected operative field Surgical repair (e.g., Ross procedure) is performed, followed by de-airing, cross-clamp removal, and reperfusion Patient is weaned from bypass with TEE reassessment, hemostasis achieved, and chest closed What is cardioplegia and how is it delivered? Cardioplegia is a potassium-rich solution that arrests myocardial activity and reduces metabolic demand Most commonly used solution in the U.S. is Del Nido cardioplegia, originally developed for pediatric myocardium Delivery strategies include: Antegrade (via aortic root) – standard approach Ostial (direct coronary delivery) – used when aortic root cannot be relied upon Retrograde (via coronary sinus) – useful in severe AI or coronary disease NOTE: Severe aortic regurgitation can impair antegrade delivery and requires alternative strategies and LV venting What do cross-clamp time and bypass time represent clinically? Cross-clamp time = duration of myocardial ischemia while the heart is arrested Bypass time = total duration on CPB, reflecting systemic exposure to non-physiologic circulation Prolonged cross-clamp time (>2–3 hours) increases risk of myocardial dysfunction, especially with poor baseline function Longer bypass time is associated with increased risk of renal injury, coagulopathy, and bleeding These metrics often reflect both case complexity and intraoperative challenges What is hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) and when is it used? HCA involves complete cessation of blood flow to allow a bloodless surgical field Typically used in complex aortic arch repairs Patients are cooled to ~18°C to reduce metabolic demand and protect organs Duration is ideally limited to

This bonus episode of Rethinking EHS, Season 3 focuses on the invisible cultural factors that shape organisational risk and safety performance. The discussion highlights how companies can have strong procedures, audits, and compliance systems in place while still experiencing serious incidents because underlying cultural issues remain unresolved. Through real-world examples, the episode explores how communication breakdowns, siloed decision-making, and inconsistent leadership behaviours can undermine even the most mature EHS programs. Ultimately, the episode underscores that strong safety culture requires more than documentation and compliance — it depends on leadership alignment, open communication, consistent behaviours, and a long-term investment in people. Guest quotes: Alizabeth Smith: “The risk they hadn't controlled, the risk they hadn't looked at, was cultural.” Alizabeth Smith: “If you don't deal with communication and consistency, people start believing the program will change in six months anyway.” Timestamps: 00:00:00 – Introduction to cultural risk management 00:00:33 – Case study: when strong systems still failed 00:01:25 – Identifying cultural breakdowns and lack of trust 00:02:46 – Communication silos in large organisations 00:03:55 – Building a global risk register and consistent controls 00:05:00 – Why onboarding and training often fall short 00:06:09 – Wearables, micro-training, and new approaches to engagement 00:07:27 – Executive incentives and unintended reporting behaviours 00:09:39 – Leading indicators versus lagging indicators 00:11:44 – Case study: transforming culture in a global manufacturing company 00:15:04 – Developing future EHS leadership internally 00:15:51 – Closing reflections Sponsor Copy Rethinking EHS is brought to you by the Inogen Alliance.

Season 7, Episode 6: How did a former real estate analyst turn the pain of building pitch decks into one of CRE's fastest-growing AI companies? Today, we sit down with Sammy Greenwall, co-founder and CEO of Henry AI, to discuss how artificial intelligence is transforming commercial real estate workflows. Sammy shares his journey from college basketball to helping scale Lev into a $100M venture-backed company before leaving to build Henry AI. The conversation covers the inefficiencies of traditional brokerage workflows, why Henry focuses on delivering outcomes instead of software, and how AI is automating offering memorandums, BOVs, and other time-intensive tasks. Sammy also explains why local brokerage data may be more valuable than national databases, how "humans in the loop" remain critical to adoption, and where he sees the future of AI in commercial real estate. Shoutout to our sponsor, Henry AI. The fast track to investor-ready decks that actually stand out.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Jennifer Gaddis. Interview Summary Show: Money Making Conversations MasterclassHost: Rushion McDonaldGuest: Jennifer Gaddis – Senior Quality Assurance Engineer, Educator, Founder of Road to QA 1. Purpose of the Interview The primary purpose of the interview is to inspire and educate everyday people—especially those without college degrees or traditional tech backgrounds—on how to pivot into technology careers, specifically Quality Assurance (QA), and to reframe fear around AI, layoffs, and automation into opportunity. Jennifer’s story is used as proof of concept that: You do not need a college degree to succeed in tech Transferable skills already qualify many people for QA roles AI does not eliminate jobs—it creates new opportunities Strategic career pivots can result in life-changing income and freedom Rushion positions Jennifer not only as a success story, but as a new blueprint for wealth-building through skills, not credentials. [ 2. Interview Overview (High-Level Summary) Jennifer Gaddis shares how she: Pivoted into tech in 2021 with no degree Went from $40K to six figures within 90 days Built a $400K+ remote household income with her husband Created Road to QA, helping 200+ people land tech jobs Accidentally built a multi-million-dollar education business Used personal hardship, COVID, financial stress, and family responsibility as fuel—not limitations She explains what Quality Assurance engineering is, why it is resistant to AI replacement, and how regular users of apps are already doing parts of QA work without realizing it. 3. Key Takeaways A. You’re Already More Qualified Than You Think Jennifer emphasizes that everyday digital behavior translates into QA skills: Using apps Identifying bugs Expecting software to “work correctly” Navigating systems as an end user This insight forms the core of her teaching philosophy. B. The Faster You Add Skills, the Faster You Increase Income Jennifer repeatedly notes: “The difference in your paycheck is your skillset.” By stacking skills (manual QA → automation → AI testing), professionals increase their market value, not just job security. C. AI Is a Career Accelerator, Not a Threat Rather than fearing AI, Jennifer encourages people to: Work alongside AI Become the humans overseeing AI systems Move into hybrid QA + automation + AI roles She stresses that human oversight is still required in tech deployment. D. Entrepreneurship Can Be Accidental—but Scalable Jennifer did not initially plan to build a company. Her business emerged from: Instagram stories A $97 beginner e-book Real student outcomes Her willingness to: Raise prices Build systems Hire specialists Learn financial discipline Allowed Road to QA to grow sustainably. E. Representation and Access Matter Jennifer openly discusses: Being a Black woman in tech Coming from financial insecurity Navigating family obligations Redefining success for future generations Her story challenges stereotypes about who “belongs” in tech careers. [ 4. Notable Quotes from the Interview “I landed my first year in tech within 90 days.” [ “The difference in your paycheck is your skillset.” “You’re already a software tester—you just don’t know it yet.” [ “I didn’t set out to build a company. I said yes to myself.” [ “AI still needs human oversight.” “My journey was already different, so I had to build something different.” 5. Overall Message Jennifer Gaddis’s interview reinforces a central theme of Money Making Conversations: Income growth follows skill alignment, not traditional credentials. Her journey reframes: Fear → strategy Job loss → skill expansion Limited access → self-investment The interview serves as both motivation and roadmap for anyone seeking financial mobility through tech—without gatekeeping. #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
