Absolute certainties make Marianne's Spidey senses start to tingle; Leslie simply ignores absolutes and does her own thing. Which means Leslie would have been much more fun in high school. But where do they come down on the native/non-native debate? Bouncing off a recent article in GardenRant, where Marianne laid out the development of a powerful movement in US horticulture, the girls dig into the tension -- and once or twice, into each other.In an industry where plants are happily termed ‘good' and ‘bad', invasive plants have now been joined in purgatory by the new baddie term of ‘emerging invasives', and not a little zealotry informs policy decisions that affect what we can buy, grow, work with, and write about, can we afford to ignore the issue? Have some thoughts? We would love to hear them AND read them on air in a future episode.

Ever meet someone you instantly “click” with — but the connection never turns into a real friendship? AJ and Johnny explain why chemistry alone doesn't create adult friendships. Research shows trust forms through repeated patterns, not one great conversation. Real closeness grows from small signals: reliability, gradual self-disclosure, and making people feel understood.

Thank you for being a part of their journey and tuning in!
Why do high performers know exactly what to do — yet still fail to take action? AJ and Johnny sit down with Nir Eyal, bestselling author of Hooked and Indistractable, to explore the hidden force behind motivation: belief. Nir explains why information alone doesn't change behavior, how limiting beliefs quietly filter what we see and feel, and why many people stay stuck despite having the right strategy. From separating pain from suffering to building a “portfolio of perspectives,” this episode reveals how changing your beliefs can unlock persistence, better relationships, and the motivation to follow through. Chapters 00:00 – Why knowing what to do isn't enough07:00 – Beliefs: the filter shaping your reality16:00 – Pain vs. suffering and the role of interpretation24:00 – The four-question method to challenge beliefs34:00 – Motivation's missing piece: belief44:00 – Persistence, mindset, and lasting change A Word From Our Sponsors Stop being over looked and unlock your X-Factor today at unlockyourxfactor.com The very qualities that make you exceptional in your field are working against you socially.

There are dozens of reasons why Moore is one of my favorite writers of all time. Indulge yourself in the 20 minutes it takes to read (or listen to!) this story then dig DEEP with me. The work is ridiculously smart and dark and poignant and unique and HILARIOUS. I'll say it before we even start: YOU'RE WELCOME.
Ever leave a conversation feeling like it went well — only to realize later nothing actually moved forward? AJ and Johnny break down the hidden layer in high-level conversations: the subtle tests happening beneath the surface. When someone says “tell me about yourself,” “send me an email,” or “we should stay in touch,” the real evaluation often isn't about the literal words. This episode explains how successful people use small conversational signals to quickly assess judgment, value, and alignment — and why missing those cues can quietly close doors. Chapters: 00:00 – The conversation that felt good but went nowhere01:10 – The hidden test underneath casual questions02:15 – Why “tell me about yourself” is really a judgment test03:40 – The truth behind “we should stay in touch”04:45 – How vague signals reveal your psychology06:00 – Seeing the second layer in high-stakes conversations Stop being over looked and unlock your X-Factor today at unlockyourxfactor.com Check out Johnny on Instagram @Social_Intell or on Tiktok @social_intel The very qualities that make you exceptional in your field are working against you socially.

It's that time of year when we put blade to wood and help our shrubs and trees to become the best versions of themselves. Pruning is a big job and many gardeners are right in the middle of it by the beginning of March. Some of us are excited by the challenge. Others are dreading the many decisions still in front of them. Leslie and Marianne aim to channel that excitement, alleviate any anxiety, and set you loose on another pruning season. It's not rocket science. It's not even weird science. It's working boldly and courageously — throwing in a little curiosity, and having fun. They'll tell you why, how, and with what. And they're definitely going to need the Dixter bell.

We love calling out hypocrisy — especially in leaders, corporations, and politics. But what if our obsession with inconsistency is doing more harm than good? AJ sits down with Michael to unpack why hypocrisy is deeply human, how media and status games amplify outrage, and why demanding total consistency can actually create worse leadership and more dishonesty. From power dynamics and “purity regimes” to induced hypocrisy and personal growth, this episode offers a smarter framework for judging inconsistency — in others and in yourself.

A new PNAS study found that the people who chronically stress you out don't just ruin your mood — they accelerate your biological aging. AJ and Johnny break down the research showing that each “Hassler” in your close network is linked to faster cellular aging, measurable at the DNA level. The real threat to your health isn't isolation — it's tolerating the wrong people. If you've optimized your fitness, discipline, and productivity but ignored your social environment, this episode explains why that might be costing you years.

Compost: it's so misunderstood. Vilified by HOAs, and loved by gardeners, it's been ignored, worshiped, blamed, blessed, and then quietly banished to the far corner of the yard. Yet this magical garden process keeps working anyway, taking our scraps, our weeds, our gardening mistakes, and even items that we should have cleaned out of the fridge last month and turning them back into organically rich soil.What are the issues? What are the joys? What are the things that make the whole process easier? Leslie and Marianne don't want you to overthink it, they just want you to start it — as they simplify and celebrate the compost pile, today on The Garden Mixer.___________________Be sure to hit the subscribe button so we can keep you smiling while you hit the mess [your garden] out there.Full Show Notes at The Garden Mixer Podcast's Substack____________________Socials – Pick Your Platform:Follow us on Instagram @thegardenmixerIndulge us on TikTok @the.garden.mixerSpar with us on X @gardenmixerpod“French Bistro” theme by Adieu Adieu.

If networking feels exhausting, you're doing it wrong. AJ and Johnny break down new research showing that closeness doesn't require deep conversations — it requires brief, real exchanges. A 2025 Heliyon study found that even under-five-minute interactive chats significantly increased interpersonal closeness compared to non-interactive writing. Connection compounds through small, repeatable micro-moments. Weak ties don't just comfort you — they move you. This episode explains why tiny social deposits beat rare grand gestures.

When you arrive you can rent all the gear that you need, have a quick lesson from their staff, and then continue to learn for yourself on the hill. It is the perfect family activity.

Finally, we tackle this GIANT of South American Literature. "The Aleph" is smart (obviously) but also self-deprecating, ultra-rich and HILARIOUS. The man's a genius. The story is genius. Indulge now and feel--in just 80 minutes--a little smarter.
Why do some conversations feel effortless — while others fall flat even when you said nothing wrong? AJ and Johnny break down the neuroscience of “clicking,” including a 2022 PNAS study showing that connection often comes down to milliseconds. The secret isn't better stories or smarter answers — it's timing. Shorter response gaps signal attunement, alignment, and shared rhythm. Longer gaps quietly erode chemistry. If you've ever felt “off” despite saying the right things, this episode explains why — and how timing becomes social body language. 00:00 – The gap you can feel01:00 – Why chemistry isn't personality02:00 – The PNAS timing study03:15 – Same words, different timing04:15 – Why rhythm equals connection Stop being over looked and unlock your X-Factor today at unlockyourxfactor.com Check out Johnny on Instagram @Social_Intell or on Tiktok @social_intel The very qualities that make you exceptional in your field are working against you socially.

AJ and Johnny break down why high performers train everything except the moments that decide outcomes: conversations. Most people rely on experience and hope, but without feedback, social skills don't improve — they calcify.

They're BAAAAAAAK! Season II kicks off today — WELCOME if you're new and welcome back if you're not! Even Leslie and Marianne have been missing the weekly mix of seasonal relevance and irreverence — and a chance to raise a glass in support of our gardening audience all over the world who are dedicated to the proposition that gardening shouldn't be boring. The Garden Mixer is bringing you one of those gardeners today — Rochelle Greayer, the new editor of The American Horticultural Society's American Gardener Magazine. Are you an AHS member? We hope you will be by the end of this episode. In a country of over 340 million people that covers over 3.7 million square miles of extremely confusing but necessarily detailed eco-regions, what exactly does it mean to be an American Gardener? Are the characteristics of an American Garden as easy to recognize as those of a British, Italian or French Garden? What are we adding to the conversation around gardening, and where are we owning it? And why does the RHS get all the good press anyway? July 2026 marks a big birthday for this country of gardeners — perhaps it's time to take the microphone back and celebrate our strengths.We're indulging our revolutionary tendencies today, on the Season II kickoff of The Garden Mixer!___________________Be sure to hit the subscribe button so we can keep you smiling while you hit the mess [your garden] out there.Full Show Notes at The Garden Mixer Podcast's Substack____________________Socials – Pick Your Platform:Follow us on Instagram @thegardenmixerIndulge us on TikTok @the.garden.mixerSpar with us on X @gardenmixerpod“French Bistro” theme by Adieu Adieu.

Episode Description: AJ and Johnny sit down with psychologist Guy Winch, author of Mind Over Grind, to unpack how grind culture quietly erodes our mental health, relationships, and sense of self — often without us realizing it. Guy explains why stress no longer stays at work, how rumination turns unpaid overtime into chronic burnout, and why many high performers confuse exhaustion with productivity. They explore the blurred boundary between work and home, the hidden damage of always-on thinking, and how modern workplaces amplify anxiety, resentment, and emotional withdrawal. This conversation offers practical ways to reclaim control: recognizing harmful rumination, creating transition rituals, recharging instead of just resting, and redesigning workdays to protect focus, relationships, and meaning — without sacrificing ambition.

Tallow has been all of the rage in the skincare world. I am loving incorporating this into my skincare routine day and night. I love how natural it is and free of chemicals and artificial fragrances. Sarah Mills-Bailey is the founder of Moon Lake Tallow. She shared how this business started and how it has taken off in just 1 year. There are different essential oils used within the tallow that all have different benefits. You cna purchase either whipped tallow or a tallow balm. Both have the same benefit but just come in two different forms. If you are local you can shop Moon Lake Tallow at the farmers market or the Mentone Market. She also had a website so you can purchase online. Follow along with Moon Lake Tallow! WebsiteInstagramFacebookSupport the showAs always thank you for listening to the podcast!

AJ and Johnny break down why reconnecting with old friends feels harder than it should — and why the hesitation isn't rejection, it's symmetry. Both people usually care. Both people assume the other doesn't. And nothing happens. Drawing on behavioral research and social psychology, this episode explains how dormant friendships get miscategorized by the brain as “risky,” why we overestimate awkwardness and underestimate meaning, and how one simple move cuts through years of silence instantly. You'll learn why old friendships are more valuable than new ones, how shared memory bypasses social friction, and the exact message that reliably reopens connection — without apology, explanation, or pressure.

Episode Description: AJ and Johnny reveal two tactical moves from their infiltration method — the same framework they've used to train special forces, federal agents, and high performers — that explain how real access works inside elite networks. You'll learn why gatekeepers aren't blocking you, they're filtering for alignment — and how to respond when someone says, “They're too busy right now.” They also break down the psychology behind silence — the quiet moment after your pitch or point — and why most people destroy their credibility by filling it. This episode shows you how high-value rooms actually operate, what gatekeepers are signaling, and how to move with confidence through tension, power, and hierarchy without chasing approval or forcing entry.

With saunas bring all the rage right now, I had to bring Courtney Elling on the podcast to talk about her mobile sauna business and the benefits of sauna. I gained so much from this episode and it was so interesting to learn about these Nordic countries and how sauna is a way of life for them. I recently have began using the sauna more and more and I am so obsessed. The health benefits are undeniable, but the way it makes me feel instantly is why I have been incorporating it into my lifestyle several days a week. The concept of a mobile sauna is genius and I only forsee them coming to more and more cities around the U.S. Search around to see if there is one in your area and plug into the sauna community.

AJ and Johnny break down the real competitive edge in the age of AI — emotional regulation and social intelligence. As automation levels the playing field for output, human connection has become the new performance multiplier. This episode unpacks why the smartest person in the room isn't always the most successful, and how tension management, emotional safety, and neural synchrony have replaced raw intelligence as the markers of influence. You'll learn how to turn moments of silence, pushback, or disagreement into trust and authority — and why your ability to regulate emotion, not your technical skill, now drives your career, your relationships, and your reputation.

AJ and Johnny sit down with Zack Kass, AI futurist and author of The Next Renaissance: AI and the Expansion of Human Potential, to explore how artificial intelligence will reshape identity, purpose, and meaning. Zack breaks down why our fear of AI isn't really about machines; it's about identity displacement. They dive deep into how creativity, purpose, and work evolve when technology becomes capable of doing almost everything. From artists confronting AI-generated art to professionals watching automation change their industries, Zack explains why humanity's next great challenge isn't survival, it's spiritual. This episode unpacks how to navigate the coming era with optimism, connection, and mastery — and why the most valuable skill of the future is still deeply, unapologetically human.

AJ and Johnny reveal the single most important human skill to master in 2026 — and why it's the one AI will never replace: validation. As automation takes over the transactional side of work, the moments that matter most — the hallway conversation, the tense meeting, the post-date silence — depend on your ability to make people feel understood. This episode breaks down why being right often backfires, how “fixing” kills influence and attraction, and why validation is the real unlock for leadership, connection, and persuasion in the AI era. They share real-world examples from clients in tech, dating, and leadership, showing how one small shift in sequencing — acknowledging before advising — transforms every interaction. Chapters: 00:00 – Why your biggest moments now matter more than ever 03:00 – AI can't replace the human layer of influence 05:00 – People move toward those who make them feel understood 07:00 – Why being right makes things worse 09:00 – How “fixing” kills attraction and trust 11:00 – The validation sequence: acknowledge before advise 13:00 – Real examples from work, dating, and daily life 16:00 – The neuroscience of feeling safe and seen 18:00 – Validation: the leadership skill AI can't automate 20:00 – The 3-step validation protocol AI, emotional intelligence, validation, leadership, communication, influence, connection, charisma, psychology, empathy, attraction A Word From Our Sponsors Stop being over looked and unlock your X-Factor today at unlockyourxfactor.com Check out Johnny on Instagram @Social_Intell or on Tiktok @social_intel The very qualities that make you exceptional in your field are working against you socially.
