In this empowering episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, Dee Davidson sits down with Ashley Selman — former NCAA Track & Field Champion, leading fitness trainer, and founder of SELI Strength — to explore why muscle is one of the most powerful longevity and hormone-support tools available to women in midlife.Ashley is a highly respected coach in Northern California whose clients have ranged from world-class Olympic athletes and elite collegiate track & field teams to everyday women seeking more strength, energy, and vitality. For nearly two decades, she owned the award-winning Evolution Trainers in Mountain View, California — a 14,000 sq ft private personal training and wellness facility. Today, she is focused on harnessing the most effective longevity strategies to help clients rewrite the narrative of aging.In this conversation, Dee and Ashley unpack:✔ Why strength training is essential for hormone balance in perimenopause and beyond✔ How muscle supports metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and body composition✔ The connection between lifting weights and nervous system resilience✔ Why endless cardio may be working against your hormones✔ How to age powerfully instead of fearfully✔ The mindset shift required to reclaim confidence in your bodyAs estrogen shifts and stress increases in midlife, many women feel like their bodies have turned against them. Ashley explains why the solution isn't restriction — it's rebuilding strength.This episode is about more than aesthetics. It's about longevity, vitality, bone health, mental clarity, and stepping into the strongest version of yourself — physically and emotionally.If you've been navigating stubborn weight gain, fatigue, anxiety, or feeling disconnected from your body, this episode will change how you think about movement and aging.

How standard are you? What does it mean to be an Individual? Are you a Hutterite? Must charities be voluntary? What about orphans? Should the State tell us what to do? What might absence of State lead to (in various domains)? Is self sacrifice a virtue? Are welfare states justified in the real world? What does one need to be autonomous? Does anyone have a right to demand that other people support them? Why do most (all?) constitutions partially claw back the freedom of expression provision? How are responsibilities and rights related? What would Ayn Rand make of conscience? Is the imagined unit of Constitutions a rational Individual? Do you have personal Laws? Has the Self become modern? What does it mean to be autonomous? Is personal autonomy always embedded? Do you need the right to rebel? Does free market (read: freedom) help cultivate individual virtues? Is free trade good? Why do libertarians think that all taxation is theft? Does barter scale? How does one accord sovereignty / autonomy to local life arrangements? Do you assert your individuality only via the legal route? &, what if you want to die? SynTalk thinks about these & more questions using ideas from philosophy (Prof. Neera Badhwar, ex-The University of Oklahoma, Norman), sociology (Prof. Chandan Gowda, Vidyashilp University, Bangalore), & legal studies (Prof. Sitharamam Kakarala, NALSAR, Hyderabad).

A supervisor leads a team of very needy CAT adjusters! Over the course of the year, the supervisor fields many questions as it comes up in their claims. Was there hail on X date? Was there lightning in the area? This hurricane is coming soon, where can I get news about it? Winter weather caused a slip and fall!! Where can I find information on wildfire perimeters and California evacuations? For help herding all these cats, we'll head to PLRB.org.   Notable Timestamps [ 00:00 ] - The episode introduces a scenario where a supervisor fields constant weather-related questions from cat adjusters, highlighting the need for a centralized, reliable source for hail, lightning, hurricanes, wildfires, and more.

Did you know that when you ask ChatGPT for a product recommendation, ChatGPT can recommend 50+ different brands for the same prompt?In this episode, we break down Rand Fishkin's latest research on the extreme variance in AI search results across ChatGPT, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. His team gathered 600 volunteers, ran nearly 3,000 queries, and the findings are eye-opening. Here are some key insights:LLMs can share 50 different companies for each product related prompt. The chance of getting the exact same list of brands twice is less than 1%.The top 6 brands are mentioned over 80% of the time. So what does this mean for marketers trying to track their GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) performance? Most AI visibility tools give you a misleading snapshot — you ran one prompt, you showed up, and you think you're winning. But run it again and you might not show up at all.We walk through Rand's key charts and takeaways, explain why "rank" is meaningless in AI results (unlike SEO), and show how the top brands in any category still get mentioned consistently 70-90%+ of the time. Then we hop into Traqer.ai to show how our topic-based GEO approach — running multiple prompt variations per topic — gives you a far more accurate and responsible picture of your actual AI visibility.If you're doing GEO or reporting on AI visibility to leadership, this is a must-watch.

My website: https://jordanapodaca.com/ After infidelity, you don't just lose trust in your partner. You lose trust in yourself. Suddenly every decision feels risky.

Mission, strategy, and planning are still important for business, even within government organizations. But almost all group and individual communications are evolving away from the old styles due to texting, emails, phone messages, and social media. In-person communication used to be very important, but not necessarily now.Examples of change areas include management, sales, delegation, staffing, and client contact.

Feeling creatively frozen from following too many writing formulas? You're not alone. In this milestone 100th episode, I'm sharing why the era of templates and "proven systems" might be holding your novel or memoir back—and what soul-centered writing looks like instead.If you've been hitting all the "right" plot points but your manuscript still feels lifeless, or if you're exhausted from trying to fit into someone else's productivity system, this episode is for you.We'll explore:The crucial difference between using frameworks as tools versus following templates as replacements for your creative visionWhy your individual calling matters more than any formula (and how to hear it)What it actually looks like to write from the inside out rather than the outside inHow to distinguish between your calling and the voice of fear telling you to "follow the system"Permission to honor your natural rhythm, even when it doesn't match what successful writers "should" doWhether you're drafting your first manuscript or your fifth book, this conversation offers a different path forward—one built on authenticity, trust, and the courage to write what only you can write.Because the question isn't "Am I doing this right?" It's "Am I doing this true?"Join me for an honest, encouraging conversation about building a creative practice that sustains rather than depletes you.Website | Substack

While we tend to think of biological individuals in terms of paradigmic cases – a dog, a starfish, a bacterium – our ordinary criteria for distinguishing one individual from another are inadequate for making these distinctions in general. If a starfish can literally split itself in two and each half regenerates into a new starfish, why hold that there was just one starfish to begin with rather than many? In The Units of Life: Kinds of Individual in Biology (Oxford UP, 2025), Ellen Clarke defends the idea of evolutionary individuals: units created and maintained by mechanisms that ensure the parts share a common fate. Such individuals enable good evolutionary bookkeeping, in particular our ability to predict which variations in these individuals will enable natural selection to occur. Clarke, an associate professor of philosophy at the University of Leeds, considers the merits of her view in relation to alternatives, how her view explains the emergence of new levels of biological individuality, and how the need for idealization and scientific choice of individual boundaries can avoid conventionalism about biological individuals.

Yes, That Was 3–0Arsenal make it three points and move on — but not without plenty to dissect. A scrappy afternoon at the Emirates saw the scoreline race ahead of the performance, raising familiar questions about control, rhythm, and how much style really matters at this stage of the season.The pod breaks down a strange opening half hour, the physical nature of Sunderland's approach, and why Arsenal seemed willing to let the game become chaotic before asserting themselves. There's discussion around the pitch conditions, defensive duels, and how Arsenal gradually shifted momentum before finally finding a breakthrough.Attention then turns to the second half, the substitutions that changed the dynamic, and what the goals revealed about Arsenal's pressing, decision-making, and ability to exploit space when it finally appeared. Individual performances are assessed, with particular focus on leadership, midfield responsibility, and how standards are being set — even on days when fluency is missing.In Part Two, it's a full Whip Around the Grounds, including Leeds' control against Forest, Manchester United capitalising on Spurs' self-destruction, Chelsea's penalty-heavy win, Brentford's late drama at Newcastle, and a chaotic collapse at Anfield that reshapes the title conversation.The VARse section returns with a deep dive into another weekend of inconsistency — from reputation-driven red cards to penalty debates, double jeopardy confusion, and where law and common sense continue to collide.Finally, the focus shifts forward. With Brentford away next, the pod looks at mentality, rotation, and how Arsenal navigate a run of fixtures against sides with little left to play for — while the pressure at the top refuses to ease.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:47) - Sunderland Preview & Line-Up Calls(02:50) - Physical Chaos & A Game Going Nowhere(06:39) - The Emirates Pitch(08:48) - 1–0 | Momentum Shift & Zubimendi's Strike(11:32) - Jesus Offside, Nearly 2–0(13:24) - Half-Time: Sloppy, Scrappy, Unconvincing(16:08) - Saliba, Brobbey & the Physical Battle(19:44) - Second-Half: Struggles Continue(21:34) - The Subs That Changed the Game(22:43) - 2–0 | Pressing, Space & Composure(24:23) - Late Control & Game Management(24:38) - 3–0 | Breakaway & Martinelli's Square(27:29) - Post-Match Stats & Performance Reality(30:17) - Results vs Standards Debate(30:56) - Leadership, Rice & Captaincy Noise(32:59) - Part Two — Whip Around the Grounds(33:07) - Leeds Dominate Forest(34:16) - Red Romero Does Old Trafford(35:26) - Bournemouth & Villa Stalemate(36:03) - West Ham Defeat Burnley(36:44) - Everton Come From Behind at Fulham(37:18) - Cole Penalty Hat-Trick at Wolves(38:10) - Newcastle vs Brentford: Five-Goal Thriller(39:22) - M23 Derby Edged by Palace(40:02) - Liverpool Collapse at Anfield vs City(42:22) - VARse: Romero Red — Reputation or Reality?(46:59) - St. James' Park VAR Controversies(51:12) - Anfield Chaos & Inconsistency(56:02) - VAR, Law vs Common Sense(00:59:46) - Is This the Worst Title Defence Ever?

A symphony is playing in the estuaries of South Carolina—the sounds of shrimp, fish, dolphins, and other creatures. To marine biologists, each sound is like a musical note. Individual notes reveal details about the species that produce them. The symphony reveals the rhythms and health of the complete estuary. Estuaries are shallow regions where rivers meet the sea. They host a wide variety of life. But the waters tend to be murky, so it's hard to see what's going on. So instead, researchers in South Carolina have been listening to estuaries since 2013. They've placed a network of underwater microphones on special platforms. They record the soundscape around the clock, along with water and weather conditions. And there's plenty to hear: the clicks of snapping shrimp…the purring of weakfish…the grunts of black drum…the calls of bottlenose dolphins…the rat-a-tat of silver perch… Scientists use the recordings to learn about the habits of all these species—whether they're more active during the day or at night, for example, or how their activity changes with the seasons. They also learn how each species reacts to hurricanes and other major weather events, as well as human activities, such as boating and underwater construction. The sounds also help scientists understand whether Earth's changing climate is jumbling the notes—perhaps throwing the underwater symphony off-key. The post Underwater Symphony appeared first on Marine Science Institute. The University of Texas at Austin..

This is the Weight and Healthcare newsletter! If you like what you are reading, please consider subscribing and/or sharing!In Part 1 we started discussing the “Million Pound Challenge” created by Toby Cosgrove and Dr. Michael Roizen in which they are “challenging” an unknown number of people to collectively lose one million pounds. In part 2 we'll discuss the program itself. (If you haven't read part 1, I recommend it to fully understand part 2.) As always I'll indent the quotes from the website so that you can avoid harmful weight stigma if you choose. They explain the program as a 3-step process:Step 1: Enroll Your OrgRegister your health system. Get access to a variety of resources in the Million Pound Challenge Tool Kit for your entire team.Step 2: Your Staff, Your WayEmployees can use the tools provided, join their own programs, work with providers—whatever works. Your organization decides how to structure participation.Step 3: Track ProgressThe only requirement? Track results with a monthly check with your Challenge coordinator. Watch as individual effort becomes collective momentum toward one million pounds.This is where they make things incredibly clear - literally the only requirement is to track weight loss. This isn't about health metrics, there is no way to make this program weight neutral or to focus on health - weight loss is the only metric and tracking it is the only thing the program requires.And when they blithely say “whatever works” let's be clear that a century of research finds that, unless their goal is to create weight cycling, nothing does. So there is no common intervention and all they are tracking is weight loss. Right. And how is weight loss tracked? Per the FAQs (emphasis mine)“Your Challenge ambassador must log your team's results monthly with your assigned Challenge Coordinator—this is the only requirement. Individual weights remain completely private. Only aggregate organizational totals are posted on the community leaderboard so you can see how your organization compares nationally.”Um, they aren't private if you have to share them with your company's challenge ambassador (and I have serious concerns that someone who would sign up for that job may be the last person that a coworker would want to tell their weight.) Workplace programs (or any programs) that include a weight loss component have significant risks to physical and mental health, including through eating disorders. But programs that compel people to compete solely on the basis of weight loss, as this one does, can actually encourage participation in dangerous behaviors in order to create weight loss.Measure your organization's progress, celebrate your success stories, and recognize your top-performing teams. Join leaders at quarterly events, Chamber Summit, Aspen Ideas Festival, and HLTH to keep momentum strong.Do. Not. Do. This. Another huge issue with this, and all workplace/organization weight-loss challenges, besides the issues with disordered eating and eating disorders and weight cycling, is that it can single out people who aren't participating or “achieving” in ways that create a hostile work environment for them. It can mean that those who have chosen an evidence-based weight-neutral path (either due to a history of eating disorders or other reasons) have to choose between their physical and mental health and being seen as “not a team player.” It can lead to organizations under valuing employees who, due to many reasons including disability, chronic illness, and more, cannot participate in the initiative at all (or in ways that make them “top-performing”) which can lead them to being seen by subordinates, peers, and bosses as a “drag” on the team or having less value to the organization. This is not surprising from someone like program co-founder Toby Cosgrove who once gleefully told the New York Times magazine that he didn't want to hire higher-weight people (as the CEO of the Cleveland Clinic,) but let's not follow in those bigoted footsteps.After 12 months, we'll have collectively proven what we've known all along—that sustainable health outcomes are achievable. Winners celebrated at HLTH 2026. Every organization recognized for leading the revolution.There is so much wrong with this that I scarcely know where to begin. As I said in part 1, “prove” is a very strong word so I expect robust research and lots of it (spoiler alert - I'm going to be disappointed again, but in no way surprised, again.) These two doctors should know better than to suggest that anything about “sustainable health outcomes” can be “proven” by a random “challenge” that only lasts a year has no common intervention, and only measures weight loss. This does not have the ring of sound science. The truth is, we can't even be sure how many of the participants would get thin enough that program co-founder Toby Cosgrove would think they deserved to be employed.I don't want to spend too much time analyzing the deck chairs on this titanic of a “challenge” but I do want to look at one of the “resources” they offer, called ‘Why Healthy Employees Don't Need Your Wellness Challenge.” First of all remember that this is NOT a wellness challenge (which would measure, you know, wellness) this is a weight loss challenge that only measures body size manipulation. Even if we ignore that, this “resource” is particularly horrifying, promoting the “Lifestyle 180” program. The program is based on the assumption that higher-weight people and those with chronic conditions are not already participating in health-supporting behaviors and should be “targeted”, by their employers (not their actual healthcare providers,) with “intensive, medically-integrated interventions.”Here again, this program teaches organizational leadership to see higher-weight people and those with chronic conditions as a liability to be solved and not as skilled and valuable employees, with the unspoken (except by Toby to the NYT magazine) takeaway to avoid hiring these people in the first place. This is likely to disproportionally impact higher-weight people, People of Color, and especially higher-weight People of Color. (Note that this is all wrapped up in the massive issues with U.S. employers providing healthcare which is, to use a technical term, a hot garbage mess that is beyond the scope of this post, but the idea that employers should have access to employee health information is obviously seriously problematic on its face.) The “resource” continuously suggests that employers focus on “the 20% of [ employees] driving 80% of the costs” ending with “that's where you win.”My main takeaway from this resource was that if an employer sent me an email that said “Your recent health screening showed some concerning trends We have a program specifically designed for you. Can we talk?” I should say, emphatically, no. Which would also be my immediate answer if asked to participate in this “challenge.”In Part 3 we'll talk about what you can do if your organization tries to push this kind of “challenge” on you.This month's online workshop is Weight-Neutral Joint Pain Management with sports medicine physicians Dr. Julia Bruene and Dr. Jeremy Alland.

Send us a textIn this episode, we're joined by environmental policy expert Judith Enck, co-author of The Problem with Plastic and president of Beyond Plastics, for a frank conversation about why plastic recycling has largely failed—and why that failure wasn't an accident.Judith unpacks how the plastics industry has known for decades that recycling doesn't work, while spending millions convincing the public otherwise. We also explore the human and environmental costs of plastic production, from “Cancer Alley” in Louisiana—where petrochemical plants line the Mississippi River—to the growing body of research showing microplastics in our blood, organs, placenta, and breast milk.But this isn't just a story of harm. It's a call to action. The conversation turns toward real, systemic solutions—like policy efforts to reduce single-use plastics, eliminate toxic chemicals in packaging, and invest in reuse and refill systems.The takeaway? Individual choices matter—but lasting change comes when many people work together, imperfectly but persistently, to transform the systems and laws shaping our world.About JudithJudith Enck is a faculty member at Bennington College, where she teaches courses on plastic pollution, and the founder of Beyond Plastics, an organization that works with community leaders and policymakers to reduce plastic pollution. She also leads the college's Environmental Action Fellowship.Appointed by President Obama, Judith served as the longest-tenured Regional Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for Region 2, overseeing environmental protection in New York, New Jersey, eight Tribal Nations, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. She has also held senior roles in New York State government, including Deputy Secretary for the Environment, Policy Advisor to the Attorney General, and Executive Director of Environmental Advocates of New York.A frequent public commentator, Judith appears on WAMC Northeast Public Radio's The Roundtable. She is the co-author of the new book The Problem with Plastic: How We Can Save Ourselves and Our Planet Before It's Too Late.Thanks for listening to Hawthorne Valley's Roots to Renewal podcast.

Do you care anymore?

A restaurant experienced a power outage lasting over an hour and a half. Because of the outage, they decided to close for the rest of the evening, claiming lost revenue from missed dinner service. PLRB weather tools will help us explore outage duration, date and time, location, and eventual cause. As we investigate, we'll encounter an efficient proximate cause issue, the electrical currents exclusion, and a fried squirrel.   Notable Timestamps [ 00:00 ] - The episode sets up a real-world insurance scenario: a restaurant closes after a 90-minute power outage and claims lost revenue, raising questions about cause, duration, and coverage. [ 00:38 ] - Investigating a power outage starts with verifying the exact date, time, duration, location, and cause, all of which are critical inputs for determining whether a claim may be payable. [ 02:29 ] - Using PLRB's power outage report, investigators can search by address and date range, view outages within a one-mile radius, and see results on an interactive map and data table. [ 03:14 ] - Outage data comes from utilities nationwide, gets updated every ten minutes, and covers about 87% of U.S. electric customers. This report helps establish whether an insured location likely lost power. [ 05:04 ] - The report shows outage IDs, UTC timestamps, customer counts, utility names, estimated restoration times, and potentially the confirmed cause, all exportable in a shareable PDF. [ 06:53 ] - Determining the outage cause is essential because many policies distinguish between natural events and artificial causes, which can directly affect coverage decisions. [ 08:19 ] - In this case, investigators found the outage was caused by a squirrel contacting electrical equipment, leading to arcing that damaged a transformer and knocked out power. [ 13:04 ] - The court rejected "but for" causation and made a ruling that did not invalidate the policy exclusion. [ 17:49 ] - Dylan summarized upcoming PLRB Weather/CATs developments.

Cohosts Julia C. Patrick and Tony Beall tackle a fundraising trap that quietly keeps nonprofits stressed and stuck: betting everything on one revenue source. They call it “The Egg or the Basket”—and the message is clear: your mission can't ride on a single lane of funding.Tony frames revenue diversification in plain business terms: build multiple revenue streams that fit your mission, your market, and your organization's maturity. If one stream slows down or disappears, you're not forced into panic-mode program cuts. Julia reinforces that there's no one-size-fits-all formula; the mix should shift based on life cycle, community behavior, and capacity.They walk through a sample revenue mix and why it often surprises teams. Individual giving typically sits as the largest slice, and Tony points listeners to Giving USA as a useful reference point for understanding how national trends compare to your own results. Grants, while important, can be unpredictable—especially for newer organizations. Tony offers a reality check for early-stage nonprofits: many funders want proof of concept, years of services delivered, and sometimes matching funds before larger awards are on the table.Then they move into earned revenue and enterprise conversations—where boards may push for a café, thrift store, gallery, or other venture. Julia notes these choices come with real accounting and cost structures that must be managed like a business line, not a side hobby.Finally, they bring it home with practical governance tools: reporting, dashboards, benchmarking, and scenario planning so teams can pivot intentionally. As Tony puts it, “You need good data to help you understand how to diversify your revenue stream and what that mix should look like.” And Julia warns against board-driven wish lists that development teams are told to execute after the fact: “That's just…a recipe for disaster.”#NonprofitFundraising #RevenueStrategy #TheNonprofitShowFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

438 | The 3 Touchpoints That Create Connection (Staff, Students, Parents) Podcast Description Running a martial arts school isn't just about having a solid curriculum. If people are still drifting away, it's usually not because they suddenly hate kicks—it's because they don't feel attached. In Episode 438 of School Owner Talk, Duane Brumitt and Allie Alberigo break down a simple, practical framework to create real connection (and better retention) through three touchpoints: staff, students, and parents. You'll hear why weekly staff meetings should be the “anchor,” how to keep students from quitting the feelings they used to have, and why parent communication can't be all automation and white noise. Along the way, they share real stories—from Allie getting back on the floor six days a week to Duane's reminder that even a five-year-old using your name can change how you feel. Key Takeaways Connection is measurable. It shows up in retention, culture, fewer fires, and more buy-in. Your staff sets the emotional temperature of the school. If they feel unseen or unclear, it leaks into everything. Students don't quit programs—they quit feelings. The “fun” changes as they progress, so you have to reframe expectations. Routine builds skill, but routine can also create boredom. Your job is to keep repetition without letting it feel stale. Parents tune out when communication becomes constant noise. Automations can support the process, but they can't replace real conversations. Progress has two layers. Parents need to understand both the curriculum/belt cycle and what progress looks like for their child. Action Steps for School Owners 1) Staff Touchpoint: Keep the weekly meeting as the anchor If you already have a weekly staff meeting (60–90 minutes), keep it. Use it to align everyone on: The mission (big picture) The quarterly/monthly focus The weekly focus Then support it with “in-the-moment” touchpoints during the week so the meeting isn't the only time leadership shows up. Use The One Minute Manager framework One Minute Goals: Pick 1–3 clear, observable standards for the week (ex: greet every student by name within the first 10 steps). One Minute Praisings: Catch good behavior fast and name it specifically (“Thanks for picking up the garbage outside—great ownership mindset.”). One Minute Reprimands: Correct quickly, clearly, respectfully, and reset the relationship. Ask what they were thinking, then give the bigger perspective. 2) Student Touchpoint: Make sure they leave feeling seen, successful, and excited A) Use the Three-Time Rule Say their name three times Approach them three times Make eye contact three times Duane's story about “Connor” (a five-year-old who kept using his name) is the reminder: a personal experience matters at every age. B) Teach with a simple structure (and protect confidence) Use the Four Rules of Teaching: Explanation (brief + exciting + includes the goal) Demonstration (ideally by a student close in age/level) Correction (use PCP: Praise–Correct–Praise) Repetition (enough practice while keeping energy high) Also: leave space for students to make mistakes. If you micromanage every rep, they only learn to perform when you're right next to them. C) Disguise repetition so it doesn't feel boring Change the format without changing the goal: Individual, partners, line drills, group work Slow reps, fast reps, ladders, add-on routines A simple win: reduce anxiety by “requiring less” on paper while still teaching more inside the drill. When it's not framed as a huge requirement, students often learn it faster. 3) Parent Touchpoint: Reduce white noise and increase real trust Parents pay, decide, and influence the story at home. If you want fewer complaints and better retention, you need consistent connection—especially early. Bring back real check-ins (especially in the first 12 weeks) Automations can remind you what to do, but they can't replace: Phone calls Face-to-face progress checks Real conversations that include curriculum progress and personal progress A practical approach: schedule progress check-ins every couple of weeks through the first belt cycle, then set expectations that communication changes (but doesn't disappear) after that. Make communication easy to consume Keep messages short and scannable Break up text visually (2–3 sentences per paragraph) Consider one “home base” where parents can always find info (like your app) And when you're frustrated? Do what Allie does: write the email, then run it through AI to make it calm, positive, and motivational before you hit send. Additional Resources Mentioned The One Minute Manager (book) Anthony Rangel (Martial Art Institute) quote: “You're not good enough to be bored.” Kenny Bigby / Jesse Enkamp (The Karate Nerd) and the concept of “until” Dave Kovar's “Sweat, Smile, Learn” framework Zig Ziglar quote: “Repetition is the mother of learning.”

In this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck digs into the stunning implosion of The Washington Post after Jeff Bezos ordered layoffs of nearly a third of its staff—breaking a decade-old promise to provide the paper with long-term financial runway. The conversation explores how Bezos treated the Post less like a civic institution and more like a trophy asset, useful for currying favor, protecting government contracts, and advancing Amazon and Blue Origin, but never truly prioritized for success. As newsroom cuts gut coverage across the board and the Post retreats from its role as D.C.’s essential local authority, the episode argues this isn’t just a media story—it’s a case study in billionaire power, tech hubris, and how America’s wealthiest figures play by a different set of rules, even as blue-collar and white-collar anger begin to converge. Then, author and Washington Post contributor Danny Funt joins the Chuck ToddCast to discuss his new book “Everybody Loses”, and for a sobering, wide-ranging conversation about how the rapid legalization of sports betting quietly reshaped American sports—and not in the ways fans were promised. What began as a state-by-state experiment after a 2018 Supreme Court ruling has exploded into a highly profitable, lightly regulated industry where sportsbooks are household names, leagues are financial stakeholders, and media companies are financially dependent on gambling ads. Funt explains how gambling turbocharged media rights deals, hooked viewers more deeply into games, and became politically untouchable as companies like FanDuel and DraftKings poured money into lobbying to block even modest regulation. The discussion digs into the darker consequences that followed: inadequate funding for gambling addiction support, normalization of conspiracy talk about “rigged” games, threats and violence directed at athletes, and growing concerns about corruption—especially in individual sports and lower-profile leagues. Funt draws chilling parallels between today’s sportsbook advertising blitz and the early days of Big Tobacco, explores why American regulators ignored European guardrails, and explains how mobile betting and prediction markets have made gambling more potent and pervasive than ever. The result, he argues, is a system designed for maximum profit with minimal friction—one that has fundamentally altered how sports are watched, covered, and policed.

Author and Washington Post contributor Danny Funt joins the Chuck ToddCast to discuss his new book “Everybody Loses”, and for a sobering, wide-ranging conversation about how the rapid legalization of sports betting quietly reshaped American sports—and not in the ways fans were promised. What began as a state-by-state experiment after a 2018 Supreme Court ruling has exploded into a highly profitable, lightly regulated industry where sportsbooks are household names, leagues are financial stakeholders, and media companies are financially dependent on gambling ads. Funt explains how gambling turbocharged media rights deals, hooked viewers more deeply into games, and became politically untouchable as companies like FanDuel and DraftKings poured money into lobbying to block even modest regulation. The discussion digs into the darker consequences that followed: inadequate funding for gambling addiction support, normalization of conspiracy talk about “rigged” games, threats and violence directed at athletes, and growing concerns about corruption—especially in individual sports and lower-profile leagues. Funt draws chilling parallels between today’s sportsbook advertising blitz and the early days of Big Tobacco, explores why American regulators ignored European guardrails, and explains how mobile betting and prediction markets have made gambling more potent and pervasive than ever. The result, he argues, is a system designed for maximum profit with minimal friction—one that has fundamentally altered how sports are watched, covered, and policed.

Why did this author start the book with tasting, rather than history, regions or grapes? Was that because you wanted to get right into the sensory experience, rather than maybe some of the drier knowledge? Why is your experience of what tastes good as personal as a fingerprint? When it comes to wine, what do you mean by structure? Why are these important, these structural components? Do you think they matter more than identifying that, that wine's from Burgundy, that wine's from Bordeaux? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Jordan Salcito, author of Smart Mouth: Wine Essentials for You, Me, & Everyone We Know. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks.   Giveaway Three of you are going to win a copy of Jordan Salcito's terrific new book, Smart Mouth: Wine Essentials for You, Me, and Everyone We Know. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose three people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck!   Highlights Why does our first impression of a wine's aroma matter more than we realize Why did Jordan ultimately walk away from the Master Sommelier service exam? How did the title Smart Mouth come together and capture the spirit Jordan wanted for the book? Why did Jordan choose to begin Smart Mouth with tasting instead of regions, grapes, or wine history? Why does Jordan see point scores and rigid wine hierarchies as a form of ego rather than a useful guide for drinkers? How do different people visualize or conceptualize wine while tasting? How does Jordan's concept of wine personas differ from traditional tasting language? What does the TALL framework explain about wine structure? How can simple sensory exercises help drinkers identify tannin, alcohol, acidity, and earth-driven flavors with confidence?   About Jordan Salcito   Jordan Salcito is an award-winning sommelier, author, and entrepreneur. A wine industry veteran, she has over a decade of experience as a sommelier at restaurants including Momofuku, Restaurant Daniel, and Eleven Madison Park (where she was part of the team to win the award for Outstanding Wine Service from the James Beard Foundation).

In this episode Victoria continues the exploration of leadership through the lens of the High Potential Trait Indicator (HPTI), building on the foundation laid in Part One.The conversation focuses on three critical leadership traits: Risk Approach, Ambiguity Acceptance, and Competitiveness — how they show up in individuals, teams, and organizations, and what happens when these strengths are overplayed. Through real-world examples, candid self-reflection, and DISC personality parallels, Victoria and Heather unpack how leaders navigate uncertainty, make decisions, manage conflict, and balance ambition with collaboration.The episode also introduces the concept of leadership derailers — the ways our greatest strengths can turn into liabilities when taken too far. By walking through common derailment patterns like perfectionism, aloofness, excessive caution, and passive resistance, listeners are invited into a practical and compassionate discussion about self-awareness and growth.This episode reinforces that leadership isn't about perfection or titles — it's about learning how to adapt, evolve, and lead effectively in everyday moments, both professionally and personally.Episode Timestamps00:00 – Facilitating opposing viewpoints: why more than one thing can be true00:00:32 – Welcome to Discovering You: Where Personality Meets Possibility00:01:00 – Mood check-in and DISC color conversation00:02:15 – Personal context and emotional awareness in leadership00:03:00 – DISC explained through a football analogy00:03:30 – Recap of HPTI and leadership traits from Part One00:04:00 – Trait #4: Risk Approach explained00:04:30 – High vs. low risk approach and DISC connections00:05:00 – Why risk approach matters in leadership00:05:30 – When high risk becomes a liability00:06:00 – How risk approach shows up in teams and groups00:07:00 – Personal reflections on risk tolerance and decision-making00:08:30 – Trait #5: Ambiguity Acceptance defined00:09:00 – Organizational culture and ambiguity tolerance00:09:30 – Leadership performance under uncertainty00:10:00 – The dangers of excessive ambiguity acceptance00:10:45 – Real-world facilitation examples and collaboration00:12:00 – Overplaying strengths and adaptability in business00:13:30 – Trait #6: Competitiveness explained00:14:15 – Healthy vs. unhealthy competitiveness in leadership00:15:00 – Individual and team dynamics around competition00:16:00 – Competing with others vs. competing with yourself00:18:45 – When competitiveness influences participation and motivation00:19:00 – Leadership derailment: when strengths become risks00:19:30 – Overview of the 10 common leadership derailers00:21:00 – Self-reflection: identifying personal derailment patterns00:22:30 – Perfectionism, excessive caution, and leadership awareness00:23:00 – Growth, coaching, and leadership beyond titles00:24:00 – Closing thoughts and how to learn moreIf you're interested in learning more about team building, coaching, strategic hiring and onboarding, let's connect!discoverwhatworks@gmail.com

In this episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, Dee Davidson is joined by fellow Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and executive wellness coach Raewyn Guerrero for a powerful conversation on why so many women hit a wall in midlife—and why minerals may be the missing link.Burnout in your 40s and beyond doesn't come out of nowhere. Years of stress, under-fueling, over-giving, hormone shifts, and “pushing through” quietly deplete the body's mineral reserves. Dee and Raewyn explain why midlife is often the moment when the body can no longer compensate—and symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, poor sleep, weight resistance, brain fog, and hormone chaos begin to surface.This episode dives into Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) as a simple yet profound check-in tool for midlife women. Often referred to as the body's spark plugs, minerals drive energy production, nervous system balance, hormone signaling, and detox pathways. When minerals are depleted or imbalanced, nothing fires efficiently—no matter how “healthy” you're eating or how many supplements you're taking.Together, Dee and Raewyn discuss:Why burnout hits differently in midlifeHow chronic stress reshapes mineral patterns over timeWhat HTMA reveals that blood work often missesWhy minerals are foundational for hormone balance and nervous system resilienceHow rebuilding mineral status creates capacity to heal instead of just copeIf you're a woman who feels like what used to work no longer does, this episode offers clarity, validation, and a grounded next step. Midlife isn't a breakdown—it's often the body asking for a deeper, more personalized approach.

You don't have to be anywhere near an ocean storm to feel its power. Big waves can travel far across the ocean, causing damage thousands of miles from the storm itself. These waves are called swells. They're much longer from one peak to the next than typical waves. They can reach monstrous heights close to a storm, but they calm down as they move away from it. The waves are created by winds inside a storm. They push the water, building peaks. Individual waves overlap, creating even bigger waves. The waves can organize themselves into smooth, evenly-spaced groups. Scientists recently analyzed the swells produced by storms in 2023 and '24. They used measurements made by a satellite that studies the surfaces of both the oceans and bodies of fresh water. It takes images of the surface, and uses a laser altimeter to measure its height. The scientists compared the results to those from other satellites dating back to 1991. They found that a storm in the Pacific Ocean in 2024 produced the biggest swells ever seen from space. The average height of the waves was 65 feet. Individual waves could have been much higher. And the waves were up to three-quarters of a mile long. The swell still packed a wallop when it hit the Americas, causing damage and deaths from Canada to Peru. Scientists tracked it as it rippled outward for more than two weeks. It ranged from the northern Pacific to the tropical Atlantic—a span of 15,000 miles for some really “swell” ocean waves. The post Swell Waves appeared first on Marine Science Institute.

It provides Netflix Standard with Ads for free.  Other carriers occasionally bundle it, but T-Mobile is currently the most consistent and prominent in the US. Xfinity (Comcast): Adding their "StreamSaver" bundle ($15/mo) includes Netflix Standard with Ads alongside Peacock Premium with ads and Apple TV+.   Similar occasional perks appear with Spectrum, Verizon Fios, or others during promotions, but they're not guaranteed long-term.

Xfinity Internet customers on Gigabit or higher plans can get up to 2 years of Peacock Premium free. Xfinity NOW TV streaming service subscribers get Peacock Premium included.

AppleTV+ When you buy a new iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV 4K, you get 3 months of Apple TV+ free.  Apple One bundle trial — Plans start around $19.95/month (Individual) after the trial, making Apple TV+ effectively part of a discounted bundle compared to subscribing separately. T-Mobile (US) — With qualifying Magenta or Magenta MAX plans, you can get Apple TV+ included at no extra cost.
