---------------------- SHOW NOTES ---------------------- Episode Number: 395 Episode Title: Should You Set Goals? The Truth About What Works Here's what nobody wants to admit about goal setting - it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. While the "gurus" are screaming at you to set bigger, bolder goals, some of the most successful people I know have thrown traditional goal-setting out the window completely. In this episode, we're diving into both sides of this heated debate so you can finally figure out what actually works for YOUR personality and situation. Podcast Highlights: [01:07] The truth about why most people's goals fail [01:55] Benefits of goal setting [03:54] Sarah's simple savings strategy that actually worked (and why) [04:23] Goal setting setbacks nobody talks about - stress, tunnel vision, and ethical shortcuts [05:18] Why goals might be killing your natural motivation and joy [07:08] Pascale's take on goal setting [07:32] How to know whether goal setting is right for you or not.

Accountability Systems Guide - [URL needed] Connect with Pascale Gibon: Website: www.pascalegibon.com Email: www.pascalegibon.com/contact Should You Set Goals? The Truth About What Works This episode tackles the controversial question that divides productivity experts everywhere: Are goals essential for success or holding you back? We explore the compelling arguments for goal-setting (direction, motivation, performance) and the surprising case against them (stress, tunnel vision, reduced enjoyment). Most importantly, you'll discover how to determine which approach aligns with your unique personality and life season. Table of Contents Arguments For Goal Setting Arguments Against Goal Setting The Personal Take on Goal Clarity Finding Your Natural Rhythm Conclusion Arguments For Goal Setting Here's where goal-setting shines - and why millions swear by it. Goals give you crystal-clear direction when everything else feels chaotic. They help you prioritize what matters instead of spinning your wheels on busy work that gets you nowhere. Plus, there's real research backing this up - people who set specific, challenging goals consistently outperform those who just "wing it." Take Sarah's vacation savings example: she wanted that family trip abroad but had zero funds. By setting a monthly savings target, she could track progress, adjust when needed, and make her dream happen through small, consistent actions. Arguments Against Goal Setting But here's the flip side that'll make you think twice. Goals can become stress monsters that eat away your self-esteem when you don't hit those targets. Worse yet, they can push you toward unethical shortcuts or risky behaviour to check that box. Ever notice how something you used to love doing becomes a total chore once you turn it into a goal? That's your intrinsic motivation getting crushed. And here's the kicker - focusing too hard on end results makes you miss the daily habits and systems that drive success. Plus, tunnel vision from rigid goals can blind you to incredible opportunities right in front of your face. The Personal Take on Goal Clarity Look, I love the clarity that comes from setting goals. But here's where most people get stuck - they set goals with good intentions and hope for the best. Without supportive systems like task management tools, accountability partners, or rock-solid daily habits, you're setting yourself up to drift and lose momentum. One mentor perfectly said, "You need a compass - because without it, any road will get you to your destination." But your compass doesn't need to be a traditional goal. It could be a vision, a feeling, a core value, or a natural rhythm that guides your decisions. Finding Your Natural Rhythm Whether you set goals or not depends entirely on your personality, life experience, and what season you're in right now. Some people flourish with structure and clear targets. Others bloom when they have the freedom to flow and adapt. The key is honouring what aligns with who you are, not what some expert says you "should" do. Ask yourself this week: "What do I need more of right now - clarity and structure, or freedom through flow?" Whatever answer comes up, trust it. You know what you need better than anyone else. Conclusion The goal-setting debate isn't about finding the "right" answer but finding YOUR answer. Whether you thrive on structured objectives or prefer intuitive flow, the most important thing is choosing an approach that energizes rather than drains you. Remember, the journey toward what you want is often just as transformative as getting there. Trust your instincts, honour your natural rhythms, and permit yourself to succeed in whatever feels most authentic. ………………………... FREE RESOURCES ………………………...

Value Stream Mapping Enhances Agile CapabilitiesValue Stream Management (VSM) is a systematic approach to improving the flow of value from a customer's request to the customer's hands. It focuses on optimizing the end-to-end process, from idea to delivery, to accelerate time-to-market, increase throughput, and enhance customer satisfaction. Key aspects of VSM:End-to-end focus:VSM considers the entire process, including all steps and touchpoints, from ideation to delivery. Flow optimization:VSM aims to remove bottlenecks, reduce waste, and improve the flow of work. Data-driven insights:VSM relies on data and analytics to understand the current state of the process, identify areas for improvement, and measure the impact of changes. Continuous improvement:VSM is an iterative process that involves ongoing monitoring, analysis, and optimization. Reduces lead time:By streamlining the process and eliminating waste, VSM can significantly reduce the time it takes to deliver value to customers. Increases throughput:Optimizing the flow of work can lead to higher throughput, meaning more value is delivered in a shorter period. Improves product quality:By identifying and addressing issues early in the process, VSM can help ensure higher product quality. Enhances customer satisfaction:Faster delivery, higher quality, and more reliable products lead to greater customer satisfaction. Enables business agility:VSM helps organizations become more agile and responsive to changes in the market. In essence, VSM is about maximizing the value delivered to customers by optimizing the end-to-end process, from customer request to customer value realizationHow to connect with AgileDad:- [website] https://www.agiledad.com/- [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/- [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/- [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

Oftentimes soil health practices may be thought of as “one more thing” to incorporate on the farm. But in this episode, producer Matt tells us that it would be very difficult for him to farm as much land as he does without soil health practices in play.In fact, soil health practices are what allowed his farm to grow significantly over his career which started in 1988 on just 400 acres. Matt farms with his wife and three sons in northern Oklahoma and southern Kansas in the United States. They grow corn, wheat, soybean and cotton on over 20,000 acres and have a black angus cow herd. They utilize soil health practices like no-till, cover crops and terracing to manage their system in their hot and dry climate. We are also joined by Craig Abell who serves as Syngenta's national executive grower agronomist. Craig has been with Syngenta for 33 years and works with large growers who often farm in multiple states in the US. “ A lot of our growth has been with either families that have wanted to invest in land, institutional investors, or farm management companies. And they came to us because we're no-till. They will not let other people operate their land unless they are no-till regenerative and taking care of the soil and improving it.” - MattAs farmers look to improve their operations, many are turning to soil health practices. Craig shares that tools like cropwise imagery and cropwise financials allow producers to monitor successful practices to further understand the impact they are having on yield outcome.This Week on Soil Sense:Meet Matt, a producer working over 20,000 acres in northern Oklahoma and southern Kansas, and Craig Abell who serves as Syngenta's national executive grower agronomistExplore how economics drove Matt to incorporate soil health practices into his operation and the many benefits he has experienced through their useDiscover the analytics being used to precisely calibrate rates of seeding and inputs for the best yield outcomes across large operations

BUFFALO, NY — June 3, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Aging (Aging-US) on May 1, 2025, as the #cover of Volume 17, Issue 5, titled “Defining the hypoxic thresholds that trigger blood-brain barrier disruption: the effect of age.” In this study, researchers Arjun Sapkota, Sebok K. Halder, and Richard Milner from San Diego Biomedical Research Institute investigated how aging affects the brain's vulnerability to low oxygen, or hypoxia. Using C57BL/6J mice ranging from 2 to 23 months of age, they identified specific oxygen levels that disrupt the blood-brain barrier (BBB)—a critical structure that protects brain tissue from harmful substances. The findings are important for understanding age-related cognitive decline and the potential risks faced by individuals with chronic oxygen-limiting conditions such as asthma, sleep apnea, emphysema, and heart disease. The BBB is essential for maintaining brain health. In this study, mild and prolonged hypoxia—called chronic mild hypoxia—was found to compromise the BBB in mice. Older mice showed significantly more BBB disruption than younger ones. Notably, barrier weakening and blood vessel changes occurred at oxygen levels of just 15% in aged mice, compared to 13% in young mice. These data suggest that the aging brain is more sensitive to oxygen deprivation, even at levels that may be considered only mildly hypoxic. The researchers also determined when this vulnerability emerged. The BBB showed increased sensitivity to low oxygen not only in aged mice but also in mice as young as 2 to 6 months, with a second spike occurring between 12 and 15 months—equivalent to middle age in mice. These findings may reflect age-dependent changes in brain vascular function and remodeling capacity. “Hypoxia-induced endothelial proliferation was relatively constant across the age range, but advanced age strongly enhanced the degree of BBB disruption (4-6-fold greater in 23 months vs. 2 months old).” Another key focus was microglial activation, a sign of brain inflammation. Aged mice exhibited higher microglial activation across all oxygen levels, including normal conditions. Chronic microglial activation is closely linked to neuroinflammation and has been implicated in diseases such as Alzheimer's. While the rate of blood vessel formation was constant across ages, the degree of BBB disruption increased sharply with age, suggesting that repair mechanisms may weaken over time. These results may help explain why older adults with chronic hypoxia-related diseases are at higher risk for neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. The study also draws attention to the risks of high-altitude exposure for aging populations, where oxygen levels naturally drop. Altogether, these findings underscore the importance of protecting brain health in older individuals by managing oxygen exposure and reducing hypoxia-related risks. The researchers emphasize the need to develop new therapies that support blood-brain barrier integrity, particularly in aging populations exposed to chronic or intermittent low-oxygen conditions.

U.S. President Donald Trump is upping the ante on tariffs again. He abruptly announced he's increasing the tariff on steel and aluminum to 50 per cent.And: Everybody out. The mayor of Flin Flon, Manitoba says fire is threatening the city and everyone needs to leave immediately. Anybody left could be putting their lives in danger. Evacuees say they've seen what fire has done to other communities – and they're worried.As fire seasons get worse, does Canada have the resources it needs? Already this year, provinces are appealing to other countries to help. Experts say the answer might not be more fire fighting power, but preventing them from igniting in the first place.Also: Don't believe everything you read online. Diabetes Canada is warning about medical products that falsely claim to be endorsed by legitimate health organizations.Plus: Free golf balls, discounted hotels, and bike rentals on the house – U.S. businesses and tourist boards are trying to lure Canadians back; aid trickling into Gaza and no ceasefire yet, cross examination of Carter Hart, and more.

It's been providing support to the community for over 12 years, by giving away fresh produce, clothing and and hosting training workshops. But as demand soars, so too does the need for more donations. Bella Craig reports.

Summer is almost officially here and things are already heating up. From the increasing pressure from Republicans to back Ukraine (a massive win for everyone) to Trump's new half-baked “Golden Dome” defense system to another horrific antisemitic attack on two Israeli embassy staffers in DC, your fearless and always independent host Paul Rieckhoff has you covered. And as the onslaught of crazy news continues to drop, it's easy to lose sight of the wins. To forget about the small victories that keep you during the hard times.

It's a deep look at the state of the independent movement, at what is happening in cities nationwide as Trump continues to expand his reach (especially on immigration), and maybe most importantly, at what is possible for independent political leaders.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Following reports of nine children killed from one family by an Israeli strike, Magid discusses the recent toll on Gazan children and the need to carefully weigh statements from Gaza Health Ministry, and the international headlines about this loss. Magid also reviews statements made this weekend by released hostages and families of hostage members regarding the frightening experiences of captives in Gaza during Israeli strikes, including a harrowing story of narrow escape to safety by recently released hostage Edan Alexander. The statements highlight the lack of certainty felt by hostages and their families as the IDF increases the intensity of fighting in Gaza. He also mentions recent comments made by Democrats party head Yair Golan and colleagues, and how Israelis are expressing similar feelings in polls about the ongoing war. As Israel continues to manage the distribution of aid in the Gaza Strip following the 11-week blockade meant to squeeze Hamas, Magid discusses an American program that will handle the aid distribution, including non-food items and medicines. He looks at the funding mechanisms and the distribution process, and whether this plan is close to operational. Magid looks at comments made by Israel's Ambassador to the US, Yechiel Leiter, during a PragerU podcast, in which he criticizes the Israeli opposition, and relates to the charges against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, dismissing them out of hand and relating to topics that diplomats don't generally touch. Leiter also talks about implementing President Donald Trump's plan to relocate Gazans. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Buying US Treasury securities was all the rage among foreign investors in March, despite whatever turmoil there was in the media. All foreign investors combined, from central banks to private investors, increased their holdings of Treasury securities by $233 billion in March from February, and by $942 billion over the past 12 months, to a record $9.05 trillion (red in the chart). The majority of what they bought were long-term Treasury securities, which increased by $133 billion to a record $7.63 trillion, according to data by the Treasury Department Friday afternoon (blue in the chart). The buying was across the major holders, except for China and Hong Kong combined, and for Ireland. Of particular note: Canada's holdings of Treasury securities spiked majestically in February and March, despite the tariffs and the ultra-sour mood in Canada about US-anything. Increases in March, and total Treasury holdings: United Kingdom: +$29 billion, to $779 billion Luxembourg: unchanged, at $412 billion Cayman Islands: +$37 billion to $455 billion Ireland: -10 billion to $329 billion Belgium: +$7 billion to $402 billion Switzerland: +$21 billion to $312 billion.

At the domestic level, Indian stock markets would be focussed more developments such as progress of monsoon, corporate results and economic data. Talks on tariff-related issues with the US will also impact sentiment. Moody's downgrade, they said, was more to get the rating in sync with Fitch and S&P, who have already downgraded US' ratings. While Fitch had downgraded the rating to AA+ from AAA in August 2023, S&P had lowered US' rating back in August 2011.
