Patrick O'Malley is a guitar teacher who teaches people of all ages to play guitar. We had a great discussion about the health benefits of playing a musical instrument. It doesn't matter whether you've ever played anything before or whether you've got an innate talent for it, simply DOING it can help you reap these amazing benefits: Improved mood & reduced levels of anxiety and depression Maintenance of language & speech skills Improved multi-tasking ability Increased ability for Injury recovery and brain rewiring That last point - brain rewiring - is fascinating! Neuroplasticity is something that I've been interested in for a long time, and Patrick spoke about the fact that musicians have more grey matter than non-musicians. The ability of the brain to form new connections (rewire itself) is a key factor in the brain's ability to recover from trauma or injury. He wasn't making this up - he shared the scientific studies that prove all of these benefits and triggered his own curiosity to discover them for himself.  Patrick has been teaching guitar for years (20k students have enrolled in his online guitar courses). He told me that during the pandemic, around a third of the emails he gets from students are people who have retired and started to play guitar for the first time after years of wanting to do so.  “People often believe their hands or too big or small or that they are just not musical enough,” Patrick says “but really the key factor is that nobody wants to spend days sounding terrible at an instrument to finally become good in the end. So I have created a course that's fun and rewarding - YOU CAN SOUND GOOD WITHIN YOUR FIRST HOUR OF PLAYING. That's the big secret right there.” For a limited time, you can get his beginner's program for 50% off: http://bit.ly/guitar-retireabc (http://bit.ly/guitar-retireabc)

We are replaying one of our most popular episodes for you this week!   Dr. James Fisher answers the question once and for all, do we really need to do exercises like running, cycling, and swimming to improve our cardio? Find out the truth about cardio exercises and cardiovascular health and why you should get off the treadmill and start doing resistance training right now. The fundamental question is “What is cardio?” Even people who have seen the results of the 20-minute routines delivered by the Exercise Coach still wonder what place cardio has in physical fitness. Historically people have perceived exercise to be going for a run or what we think of as traditional cardio. Usually this takes the form of long duration and low intensity and focuses on aerobic energy production. The accepted wisdom is that cardio is just activities like running and cycling, but the truth is that any activity can become cardio exercise if done at the correct intensity. Cardio also raises the idea that we need to perform prolonged exercise to get the result, but that's not necessarily the case. The trouble is that duration doesn't necessarily translate to improved fitness. Someone going for a 4-hour walk isn't going to see the results they would see from an activity with a higher intensity level. Cardio activities like running, cycling, or swimming improve our heart health because of the sustained elevation of the heart rate. While that's true and that process also makes the heart and muscles more efficient, but it's really the act of having the heart rate elevated for an extended period of time that brings those results and it's not reserved for traditional cardio exercises. It is possible to be fit while still having an unhealthy heart due to lifestyle choices. Studies have shown that it is better to be fit and fat, than unfit. People who are overweight and exercise have better health outcomes than people with a normal Body Mass Index who don't exercise at all. Exercises that we perform that are a high enough intensity and frequency can more than counteract any of the other lifestyle risk factors. There is growing evidence that shows that effective exercise alone and improving fitness is powerfully prophylactic in terms of health and longevity. Even if you no longer see visible fitness increases from your exercise, you are still catalysing positive changes at a cellular level and prolonging and improving the quality of your life. Traditional cardio exercises are not necessary to become healthy. Strength training exercises have similar results to traditional cardio training with similar cardiovascular health benefits. It also comes with less risk of chronic joint pain. Don't feel tied to an exercise modality. Studies have shown that people have seen increases in cardiovascular health and efficiency with only a simple 12-week strength training program. Resistance training is the superior choice because, in addition to the cardiovascular benefits, you also improve strength, bone density, and muscle mass. Improved muscle quality is a jackpot outcome because it has a ripple effect that leads to all of the systems of the body getting better when we optimize the health of our muscles.   Link: exercisecoach.com     This podcast and blog are provided to you for entertainment and informational purposes only.

Professor Dee Boersma, working with the Wildlife Conservation Society and the Province of Chubut, has been studying the Magellanic Penguins of Argentina. "In 1983, we realized that oil pollution was really a huge problem for these birds. We were seeing birds coming ashore, covered in oil. We started bringing this to the government's attention. And in 1997, they moved the tanker lanes further offshore. Some years we get no penguins dead on the beach covered in oil." To learn more visit the Center for Ecosystem Sentinels website.

Mental health conditions, such as mood and anxiety disorders are diagnosed in one of every five pregnant or postpartum people. Despite this high burden of morbidity and mortality and economic costs, perinatal mental illness is poorly addressed by the current US healthcare system.Jennifer Moore, founding executive director of the Institute for Medicaid Innovation, joins A Health Podyssey to discuss perinatal mental health and what we know about it. Moore was the advisor for the October issue of Health Affairs, which collects a number of articles all on perinatal mental health. Those papers discuss several dimensions of the issue, including the health and economic costs of poor perinatal mental health; the relationship between mental health and physical health; and the role of race and racism and how the US approaches mental illness among birthing people.In the issue, Moore co-authored two papers. In the overview, she and colleagues explore policy opportunities to improve the treatment of perinatal mental health conditions. In another paper, Moore and coauthors found that mental health conditions increase severe maternal morbidity by 50% and cost $102 million annually in the US.Listen to Health Affairs Editor-in-Chief, Alan Weil, interview Jennifer Moore on perinatal mental health and what policy option exist to improve it.If you like this interview, order the October Perinatal Mental Health Theme Issue.Subscribe: RSS | Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | Google Podcasts

Jorge Moral, a veteran firefighter for the past 30 years, used to think he had a drinking problem. It's something many firefighters struggle with — turning to the bottle in response to on-the-job stress and, in more extreme cases, trauma and PTSD. Only for Jorge, he realized it wasn't actually a drinking problem he had. It was a sleeping problem.   “I was using alcohol to try to go to bed, because I went two or three years of just taking naps,” he says. “I would take a nap at night, maybe a couple of hours, and that's it.”    Ultimately, Jorge decided to try CBD to treat his insomnia — and he's never looked back. On this episode of Good Dudes Grow, Gary and Jorge talk about the ways CBD has helped him with his recovery as a first responder, the coping mechanisms it's allowed him to let go of (including Adderall), and why he sees CBD as a piece of the puzzle (but not the entire answer).   What You'll Learn: The role CBD played in his recovery when Jorge (drunkenly, at a wedding) decided to donate his kidney What else he's turned to, besides CBD, to improve his sleep hygiene Why it's important that more first responders have stigma-free access to CBD and THC And much more!   Favorite Quote:   “CBD is not the answer to everything, but it's a tool to get you to the answer.” — Jorge Moral   Connect with Jorge:    Facebook   Instagram   How to Get Involved:   Gary Roberts is the founder and CEO of Pure Body Zen, a company based around creating and selling high-quality CBD products that work to heal mind and body alike. Gary considers hemp-based medicine a calling, and his organization, along with the world-class team that runs it, reflects his passion.   You can learn more about Pure Body Zen on their site, on LinkedIn and on Instagram.   If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to visit the show on Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review!

Episode 452:  You Are Not Your Past...But You Are Your Future   Quote of the Day Compassion is the basic of morality...Arnold Schopenhauer   The world could use more compassion and concern for others right now.   Ironically, this is probably the best strategy you could have to create the best version of yourself and also eliminate negative, scarcity thinking. I have always found that when I stop thinking about my own misfortunes or problems and focus on service and compassion for others, my life always changes in an amazing way.   Today, I want to talk to you about Learning to Change Your Perspective on yourself. Lets face it, if you can't change the way you see yourself, then you will never shift into an optimal state of abundance thinking. I'm referring to the "stories" we all tell ourselves about who we are, how we act, and most importantly how we see ourselves in the mirror. Tony Robbins and many other thought leaders have talked about changing your limiting beliefs and self image in order to restore confidence, motivation and passion into your life. But, it always starts with changing the view you have of yourself.   I have personally found many people suffering lately from either a low self image or a distorted version of who they "think" they are. I cannot emphasize enough how much this tends to limit and block the growth that you are so desperately trying to achieve in your life. In order to start having a more abundant mindset, you must start with how you see yourself and the perspective or filter you apply to your life. You've heard this saying before, but it bears mentioning right now...   You Are Not Your Past. Your Past Does NOT Define You.   I truly believe the most of us would agree with that statement. However, why do we continue to define ourselves with Limiting Believe about ourselves that erode the value and self worth that you truly deserve. Let me give you just a few examples. Have you caught yourself saying... I always... I never... Thats just the way I am... I'm bad at relationships. That aways happens to me. I wish I could just catch a break. Why do things like that happen to me.   I could go on and on. But I want you to consider that sometimes we even "feel" or "believe" certain things about ourselves that limit us even if they are subconscious or not outwardly expressed. The bottom line is that if you don't have UNSHAKABLE confidence then it's likely you have some thoughts or feelings that are just not positive or healthy about yourself.   The reason I can say this is because I know (even without knowing some of you personally) that every single person reading or listening to this message has overcome massive obstacles, challenges and trials in their lives.   That is a FACT...   The reason I can say this is that you are here...alive...on this earth as a living breathing person. Do you realize how incredibly rare and unique and special that is? Also, you had to overcome a million challenges growing up. You had to learn to walk, talk, act, survive...and there was very little that anyone could do to literally make your mind and body do these things other than what YOU could do on your own. Of course, we had many people in our lives there to help us when we fell or pick us up when we stumbled. But, you have to recognize that all throughout your life you have overcome, adapted and triumphed in many many ways.   The real problem is that most often we dont see ourselves as triumphant, WINNERS in life. We just seem to recognize and point out our failures and how many times we fell down. As Rocky said in the movie we all know...   It's not how many times we fall down in life that counts. It's how many times we pick ourselves up and keep going on.   That is not just a really cool story, it is a universal truth. So, remember that you are not your past. I mean literally, you are not that 1 year old baby learning to walk. You are not that 2nd or 3rd grader learning to write your name or learn a language. You are not the person that got that first job and learned a skill.   You are not your past and you are not even that past version of yourself that you are thinking you are. So stop comparing, filtering and judging your life based on the past. You are not your past.   You are however the FUTURE, Improved version of yourself that you DESIRE to create.   You see the second principle I want to emphasize is that you MUST learn to Visualize, Accept and Challenge yourself to become the Best Version of You there can be. A key principle to learn is that you MUST start to filter and visualize yourself as the Future Version of yourself in order to truly create Growth, Success and Fulfillment in your life....and most importantly to become Abundant thinking.   Abundance is expecting something that you dont already (in the present) have in your life. The reason you can be abundant is that you are always evolving, growing and becoming better. You know this from experience. Right?! It's been happening all your life. So, let's start to get ahead of the curve and CREATE the version of yourself that you KNOW you will become. Are you getting the point I am trying to make... YEAH?   I want to suggest that when you stop viewing the past version of yourself and start visualizing and believing the future version of yourself.....miracles will begin to happen in your life. This act of visualizing yours best version of you will provide many benefits to you (at a minimum):   You will become more inspired to live that version. You will become more motivated to do the work. Your vision and goals will become more clear and vivid. You will handle situations in a more abundant, positive way. You wont hold yourself to a old standard but a NEW one. You will eliminate the distractions, negativity and destruction of past thoughts of you. You will be more patient with yourself and your learning. You will recognize the growth and small wins more than the losses and failures.   And most importantly, you will begin to build unshakable confidence and higher self esteem.   Now, I know this whole thought today isn't easy. If it were easy, it wouldn't be hard...Listen to that statement again. If it were easy, it wouldn't be hard. And don't we want growth in our lives? Absolutely, so we want things to challenge us.   So I recommend you double down on your daily rituals. I recommend you implement affirmations and I Am statements that remind yourself daily of the best version of yourself that you know you are inside and are becoming each and every day. I know this is the way to create the life you were meant to live and I challenge you to do it.   That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Have an Amazing day and thanks for listening.   George Wright III

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave discuss the results of the annual NBA GMs survey, which had the Bulls land the most votes for most improved team for the upcoming season. Despite receiving the most votes in that category, results in other categories didn't necessarily translate when it comes to GMs being impressed with the Bulls offseason and their expected levels of success this season. The guys also break down the details of Lonzo Ball's many contract bonus incentives revealed in a Bobby Marks column, and pay tribute to former Bulls All Star Pau Gasol after he announced his retirement from basketball.

We recently had the honor and pleasure of facilitating a talk for Natural Grocers on Food Quality. We talked a little about how upgrading your quality can impact your results. We also went into a spectrum of quality for most common foods we purchase. Remember what you want from your health efforts: Improved body composition. Improved health. Remember why you're eating food in the first place: For nutrients to contribute to structure, form, and function. These nutrients build the body and contribute to all the functions of the body. For metabolic flexibility and fat burning. You want to eat food in a way that nurtures your body's ability to use fat for fuel. Eating this way contributes to and optimal body composition and metabolic health - the absence of metabolic syndrome = an ideal body composition, normal blood pressure, blood sugar handling capacity, low triglycerides, and high HDL. Listen in for more on this super important and equally awesome topic regarding food quality!  Please be sure to connect with us!

On today's episode, John Ratzenberger sits down with Phibro's Dr. Angie Boyer to discuss how, recently, hydroxy chloride sourced minerals have become more available and utilized industry wide. Today we will discuss their advantages. Join us for this week's episode of Nutra Blend's Animal Agriculture podcast! 

Welcome to Season 10, Episode 41, of the ParentingAces Podcast, a proud member of the Tennis Channel Podcast Network. In this week's episode, we'll be revisiting the Apeak App for training mental skills in tennis players. To watch/listen to our previous podcast with Apeak founder Brian Park, click here. I highly encourage you to watch the video version of this week's episode so you can see Apeak in action: parentingaces.com. Apeak uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help tennis players train the mental side of the game. Now partnering with noted performance psychologist, Dr. Jim Loehr, the app offers even more personally-tailored content and trainings. After playing ITF juniors, futures, and college tennis, Brian Park began his master's program in Sports Psychology at California State University, Fullerton. He was fortunate enough to have Dr. Ken Ravizza, one of the most well-known sports psychologists, as a member of his graduate committee. While getting his master's degree, Brian was also coaching full-time. Coaching was a great way for him to implement the mental skills he was learning at school. He knew how critical mental skills were to the success of competitive players. Then in 2018, while doing mental training consulting with a challenging student, Brian decided to try a new approach that focused on allowing players to repeat proper ways of thinking and reflect on their performance. The results were eye opening, and it was at that moment that he knew he had found the solution he was looking for. The Apeak System was born. As mentioned in the podcast, the new and improved Apeak is available October 12 and they are offering a 20% discount to the ParentingAces Community. Simply click here to receive the discount. For more information on Apeak, please visit their website here. You can reach Brian via email at brian@apeak.com.

Austrian economics is distinctive in its recognition and, indeed, embrace of continuous change: customer preferences change, competitors' actions change, markets change, technology changes, prices change, business methods change. New knowledge is continuously created and accumulated. And Austrian economics equally recognizes that entrepreneurial businesses must change in response: capital combinations change, supplier and customer relationships change, organization structure changes, business portfolios and value propositions change. Continuous change is required — which is something business has not traditionally been designed for. How do businesses manage continuous change? In the current digital age, the rate of change in the external business environment is accelerating, largely as a consequence of rapid technological evolution and the ways in which customer behavior and preferences change in response. We plan to cover the issue of continuous change from multiple angles in the coming weeks and months. This week, Mark McGrath joins us to review a tool for value creation amidst continuous, roiling change. It has been around for a while and so is proven in multiple arenas and situations. It goes by the name of OODA. Key Takeaways and Actionable Insights The OODA loop is a deeply sourced tool that draws on eastern philosophy, western science, and aligns with Austrian economics. When a firm as a network of individuals, knowledge, ideas, tools, processes and resources works with clients and customers and their systems, all should be better off as a result of their co-ordinated action. The better the capacity to learn and make adjustments together, the better the capability to recognize and seize opportunities, and to act at co-ordinated speed. Those who can handle the rate of change fastest will be the most successful. The originator of the OODA loop model, John Boyd, synthesized thinking from multiple sources about this problem. In business, we can call it the Adaptive Entrepreneurial Method. The loop is triggered by uncertainty, or what is referred to in the model as VUCA: Volatility — circumstances change abruptly and unpredictably; Uncertainty — knowledge is incomplete and the future is indeterminate; Complexity — we are individuals in a dynamic interconnected whole with emergent outcomes; Ambiguity — multiple interpretations from multiple observers, and multiple conclusions. VUCA enters the OODA loop as unfolding interaction with the ever-changing external environment or market, as information and data coming into the company, and as unfolding circumstances, whether these are the company's own sales trends and customer relationships or the activities of competitors. VUCA is the state of the universe. It's the normal condition that entrepreneurs should assume as the basis for action. It also creates an exciting state of opportunity in which dynamically adaptive entrepreneurial businesses can thrive. OODA is a feedback loop. OODA stands for observing, orienting, deciding, acting — a continuous process. [[{"fid":"126373","view_mode":"image_no_caption","fields":{"format":"image_no_caption","alignment":"center","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"The OODA Loop","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":false,"field_caption_text[und][0][value]":"","field_image_file_link[und][0][value]":""},"type":"media","field_deltas":{"1":{"format":"image_no_caption","alignment":"center","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"The OODA Loop","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":false,"field_caption_text[und][0][value]":"","field_image_file_link[und][0][value]":""}},"attributes":{"alt":"The OODA Loop","class":"media-element file-image-no-caption media-wysiwyg-align-center","data-delta":"1"}}]] Orientation is critical to successful operation of the model. For a firm or for an individual entrepreneur, orientation is a mélange of inputs: mindset, personality, our way of thinking and interpreting, previous experiences and how we've processed them, our ability to process new information, our ability to handle change, our ability to analyze and break things down while simultaneously piecing things together and synthesizing them into an insight or construct that never existed before. Orientation houses all our biases, and all our cognitive models. It's how we perceive and how we experience the world. It determines how we process all the information we observe. Decisions are hypotheses. From our orientation-determined analysis and synthesis of incoming data, we envision a future state: what could happen if we did something? In Misesian terms, we imagine what it would be like in the future if we were able to address our own uneasiness — if we were to change our current state and trade it for another one. Any action that follows must be preceded by a decision, a hypothesis of what we think might happen. Action is an experiment to test the hypothesis. In applying the OODA loop, entrepreneurs demonstrate a bias for learning and a bias for action. We learn by testing what happens when we act and making new observations of the outcomes of the action. These outcomes will give us new signals to employ in re-orienting to ensure that our decisions and actions are well-aligned with reality. The OODA loop model is consistent with the Explore and Expand approach to business strategy. At Economics For Business, we have frequently urged entrepreneurial firms to abandon business school strategic thinking and replace it with an Explore-And-Expand approach, running many fast, low-cost exploratory experiments and quickly expanding investment in those that work, discarding others. In OODA loop, experiments are decisions and actions, and re-orientation results in expanding application of the successful ones. In OODA, we continuously build and re-build our perception of the VUCA world and attempt to match our perception with reality through exploration and expansion. We aim to ensure our orientation is attuned to the way the world is and not to the way we want it to be or imagine it to be. The more we learn, the more we build and re-build, the faster we can advance. Speed of learning is important, so long as it is based on well-processed information. Guidance and control. In the OODA loop graphic, there are two areas designated “implicit guidance and control”: our actions and our observations. Our orientation implicitly guides and controls both. Our orientation as entrepreneurs or as economists will always affect how we perceive things. Where some might see an obstacle, others see an opportunity. That's orientation at work. On the action side, orientation implicitly guides and controls our actions. There are some things we can do automatically, employing heuristics or procedures that we don't stop to think about. This also is orientation at work — and at speed. Continuous testing. The OODA loop, processing VUCA information into decisions and action via continuous reorientation, is a test. An entrepreneur is always being tested. As time moves unstoppably forward, new challenges continuously emerge. It's the ceaseless flux of human affairs, as Mises put it in Human Action. If we maintain an open and flexible or agile approach or orientation to this continuous testing, we'll avoid failure. Focusing on a well-understood purpose will eliminate wasted time and wasted action. The Adaptive Entrepreneurial Model has three major elements: VUCA, the way the world is; OODA, as described above; and IOT. IOT stands for In Order To: the purpose or mission. As we deal with VUCA, and continuously change our orientation as we learn from our decisions and experiments, quickly finding out what works and what doesn't, we must never lose sight of our purpose and our intent. What are we trying to accomplish? Everyone in our firm, or on our team, must share the same purpose and be able to articulate it in the same way. When that's the case, creative and co-ordinating action can move forward without instruction: we don't have to tell people what to do when they're in the middle of VUCA so long as they have the same shared purpose in mind. Everyone focuses on what needs to happen and why. There's never action for action's sake; it's always with a shared purpose. If team members do not share the same understanding of purpose, then they're creating more VUCA. If they do share understanding, the orchestration of their individual efforts produces harmony. People, ideas, things — in that order. All action is human action, all decisions are human decisions, all teams are human teams. When orientations are aligned, harmonious co-ordinated action is possible. There's a high priority on relationships — with teammates, colleagues, customers, vendors, partners. In a business utilizing the OODA model, people always come first because they are the ones who act. Ideas follow, judged through the lens of helping people to decide and act. Things — technology, property, money — are at the third priority level to ensure they support people and enable their ideas. "A sound understanding in application of these comments will yield geometric results." Improved results are the repayment for the effort expended to study the Adaptive Entrepreneurial Method.

Teagasc researcher, Jonathan Herron, joins Emma-Louise Coffey on this week's Dairy Edge podcast and quantifies how much dairy farming is contributing to national greenhouse gas emissions with practices on dairy farms showing a reduction in emissions intensity. Jonathan explains that dairy production accounts for 12% (agriculture = 34%) of total national emissions, with methane and nitrous oxide being the predominant gases being emitted from agriculture. Jonathan gives an insight into the new emissions intensity of milk production per kg CO2-eq per kg fat and protein corrected milk at 0.99 kg, compared to previously reported 1.12 kg. He explains that this takes into account where farmers have engaged in improved farming practices such as switching from CAN to Urea or protected Urea, switching from splash plate to LESS technologies, integrates white clover and improved genetic merit of their herds. For farms that stopped using CAN on farms, they reduced emissions by 7-8% with no negative impact to grass productivity. Jonathan suggested that future emission intensity can include a mitigation factor arising from Carbon sequestration. While the quantity of Carbon sequestered per ha is not known yet, research is on-going to quantify how much Carbon is stored on Irish farms in tree and plant life (i.e. hedgerows, grassland and tillage crops).

In this episode, Celeste speaks with Jodie Sweeney, an IFBB Bikini Pro who set her sights on earning her pro card during the quarantine after years of dedicating her life to CrossFit. Jodie starts off the episode discussing her background in CrossFit and admits that although she wasn't ever “good” at the sport, she found herself drawn to the family feel and community aspect it brought. While she liked the overall training structure of CrossFit, Jodie feels she is able to push herself more in bodybuilding, as there is more of a demand for dedication and focus as there is only so much time an athlete has to be ready before show day. Jodie discusses how she found bodybuilding and how in the beginnings of her bodybuilding career she was able to train close to some of the well known gyms and prestigious shows in the area. She shares what it was like to train at JM Manion's gym while only being in her rookie year of competing. Jodie notes that her husband was the one who had always motivated her to try bodybuilding as he saw the potential she had to be successful in the sport. Since most of her training to her pro card was during the quarantine, Jodie explains how she prepared for that and walks listeners through each show and the lessons that she learned leading up to her pro win. Getting more personal, Celeste asks Jodie more about her family and what life was like growing up. While acknowledging Jodie's rough upbringing, Celeste also sheds light on the financial success Jodie has experienced on her own, and asks if she received any feelings of shame or guilt from her family about her success. Jodie openly discusses her family dynamic, what growing up was like and how that influenced her views on her future and the goals she set for herself. She also discusses the challenges that came along with the decision to live on her own at 19 and what she learned from those experiences. Jodie sheds light on the parallels between the discipline and growth required both from bodybuilding and her rough upbringing and shares how it's made her into the woman she is today. The two women discuss how life's challenges mold one into who the person they become and that there is so much more to someone and their story than what they share on social media. Next, Celeste asks more about Jodie's experiences with her coach and training, asking what inspired Jodie to make a coaching switch and what changed in her routine when making that switch. After hearing Jodie's story of life and bodybuilding, Celeste wraps up the episode by asking Jodie to share her best advice for novice competitors and for girls on their road to pro.
