Live from the Balance The Board conference in 2025, Jeannette delivers a powerful message on on how to successfully scale a business, acknowledging that 70% of scale-ups fail despite strong ambition.  Her core message introduces a Belief Framework—an inside job starting with the individual—to ensure leaders are in the best possible shape to lead themselves, their teams, and their businesses You'll hear how: Successful scaling-up requires focusing on three foundational elements: leading yourself (the inside job), leading your teams (creating a winning, psychologically safe environment), and leading the business (securing maximum impact). The Belief Framework is a simple, six-part formula for personal readiness: Bravery, Energy, Love, Influences, Execution, and Failure. Leaders must put their own oxygen mask on first, as energy and self-care are crucial for maintaining the high-energy, positive outlook required for scaling, especially during challenging times. Scaling requires courage: it's not always going to work, and if you're not failing (and learning from it), you're staying in your comfort zone—the goal is to fail your way to greatness Subscribe to Brave Bold Brilliant for weekly wisdom on leadership, legacy, and living boldly. This episode is living proof that no matter where you're starting from — or what life throws at you — it's never too late to be brave, bold, and unlock your inner brilliant.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com**This is a THROWBACK episode from Season 3! This episode is more important than ever to understand and because it's so far back in the archive, I wanted to share it again for those who are new here or who missed it. I think this episode will be even more appreciated now in 2025 than it was in 2022.I am so excited for this week's show! Joining me once again for a second time is host of the ‘Christian and Conspiracy' podcast, Christan rapper, army veteran, father and devoted husband, JOSH MONDAYYY!Josh's podcast, @joshmondaymusicandpodcast , is one I personally listen to and look forward to every single week and if you enjoy this podcast, you will absolutely love his podcast! We've shared some of the same guests and I've learned so much from watching his show. One of the things that stands out about Josh is not only his ability to be a great podcast host, but he also takes it upon himself to be an educator as well both on his podcast and on all the other podcasts he's been featured on. All the links for his podcast will be in the show notes and I encourage you all to head to the show notes and connect with Josh on all platforms!One of the episodes I listened to on ‘The Christian and Conspiracy Podcast' recently was discussing elite Ivy League and high school secret societies and it blew me away so much that I asked Josh to come share the information with all of you! This piece connected a lot of dots for me in realizing how our school systems normalize secret societies and ritual abuse on an unconscious level for all of us in the form of exclusive school clubs and fraternities complete with initiation rituals.Because these secret societies aren't hidden and are in plain sight, the infiltration of secret societies into our education systems often gets overlooked. But I would argue to say that this is one of the most important parts of the Secret Society Puzzle to learn about because of the unconscious and direct influence they have on children and teenagers. The other staggering thing about these lower level secret societies is their massive influence on many people we see in the public eye all the way from sports to politics. They seem to function as gateway ‘clubs' to higher secret societies such as the Illuminati and Freemasonry while also offering preferential treatment to specific individuals that get placed into positions of power in our society. It's actually really wild to consider how overlooked and under-researched this huge piece of the secret society puzzle is. Josh does a fantastic job breaking down this topic and I'm really excited for you all to hear this episode! Grab a pen and paper and plan on listening to this episode more than once - this information made my head explode and I have no doubt it will get your wheels turning as well!CONNECT WITH JOSH:YouTube:  @joshmondaymusicandpodcast  Instagram: @joshmonday_podcast - https://www.instagram.com/joshmonday_podcast/Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/07cJzde2nVA3lOA3W028dl?si=78X4dHCeRxm97Lj2GHGK0g&nd=1Music on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3Zjp6DPXfBVFfoBMC9p7K2Podcast on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/josh-monday-christian-and-conspiracy-podcast/id1556257698CONNECT WITH THE IMAGINATION:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: htSupport the show

Karl Matthews, Ph.D., Professor of Microbial Food Safety at Rutgers University, discusses ways to eliminate pathogens like Salmonella, E. coli O157:H7 and Listeria from fresh fruits and vegetables. He highlights the importance of preventative measures from farm to table, including the use of water antimicrobials, like chlorine, and photosensitizers, like curcumin. Watch this episode: https://youtu.be/6Wkef9RyUVE Ashley's Biggest Takeaways We consume billions of microorganisms in the food that we eat each day. Fresh fruits and vegetables that are not thermally processed are likely to carry a higher microbial load than cooked foods. Many of those microbes are not concerning to human health. However, when pathogens of human health concern are present, the food can become unsafe to eat. Scientists use many methods from pre-harvest through post-harvest to keep food free of human pathogens. Water antimicrobials, such as chlorine, and photodynamic inactivation using photosensitizers, such as curcumin, are 2 preventative measures that Matthews and colleagues are investigating. Curcumin is a natural chemical compound found in the turmeric plant. It is responsible for giving tumeric its yellow color. Curcumin is also a photosensitizer, meaning that it can absorb light energy and transfer it to another molecule to initiate chemical reactions that produce cytotoxic singlet oxygen. Featured Quotes When I look at [what makes fruits and vegetables safe to eat] as far as from a microbiological perspective, it's are they free of pathogens of human health concern? And so, we might think about organisms, such as Salmonella or the Shiga toxin producing E coli or Listeria. There are a number of processes and initiatives that are put into place, from the pre-harvest through post-harvest levels to try to ensure that the product is not contaminated with microorganisms of human health concern. Each day, we're consuming literally billions of microorganisms in the foods that we eat, and particularly the raw fruits and vegetables that we're eating that are not being thermally processed in any fashion by which you might reduce the microbial load. Oftentimes we think about the bacteria that might well be there. But we do know that there's viruses that could be present. There's certain type of protozoa that might be present. Many of us know of norovirus and the concerns associated with that particular pathogen. So, there's a multitude of microorganisms that might well be associated with fresh fruits and vegetables, but there's really a very limited number or types that are actually of concern from a human health standpoint. In my program, we're working on E. coli O157:H7, in particular. It's a certain serotype of E. coli, a diarrheagenic E. coli, what's also known as a Shiga toxin-producing E. coli. We work with Salmonella, and we work with Listeria monocytogenes, but there's other microorganisms, such as Campylobacter, Yersinia, Staphylococcus aureus. All of those types of pathogens can also be associated with foods—and different types of foods, at that—and be of concern to the general public—the consumer. If we look at a lot of the processing of foods that are taking place, not only here in the United States, but globally, many times, what will happen is they're utilizing some type of a water antimicrobial, and I stress that because, oftentimes, these antimicrobials are added to the water to control the microbial load in the water. So, ultimately, you're not basically putting on water and putting on a whole load of microorganisms along with it. And also, you can prevent cross contamination through that. Here in the U.S. and elsewhere, we'll often put additional chlorine into the water. So, let's say we're increasing the chlorine concentration to 20 parts per million, or 50 parts per million, or maybe in poultry processing, they're utilizing peracetic acid. These are 2 common antimicrobials that are being used. What we wanted to do is find out could we utilize some other types of methods that might well control microorganisms on the commodity itself? And that's where we started looking at photodynamic inactivation and coupling that with the use of a photosensitizer. And in this particular case, the photosensitizer we were using was curcumin. The reason for working with curcumin is that it's naturally used in foods as a food dye. It's also used as a flavoring agent, and so forth. So, it's there, and it's being used—not just in the U.S., but [also] globally. And we thought we would try to see if we utilize this compound, could we have an additive effect to it? If you apply certain wavelengths of light, you can inactivate microorganisms, but if you apply that wavelength to something like a photosensitizer type molecule (curcumin), you could generate singlet oxygen molecules. And those singlet oxygen molecules would act like little explosions on the cell membrane and basically blow it apart and, therefore, inactivate the organism. We looked at the ability of this to inactivate Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, as well as E. coli O157:H7, so these Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, and what we did indeed find is that it was very effective. We looked at it in comparison to peracetic acid use in the poultry industry, and we found it to be equivalent, at least to treatments that we were utilizing on poultry skin, with inactivation of the microorganisms, such as Listeria, on the poultry skin. So, it is really exciting. Links for This Episode ​​​​​​Preventing Foodborne Outbreaks Starts in the Field.

Meet Laur Elle — a rising indie-pop voice blending airy vocals, vivid storytelling, and lush soundscapes that invite listeners into a world of pure escapism.Born in Oklahoma and raised in Alberta, Canada, Laur Elle grew up balancing two worlds: the discipline of sport and the magic of words. As the daughter of a hockey coach and a former internationally competitive gymnast for Team Canada, she carried the focus of an athlete into her artistry. But it was poetry — and eventually music — where she unlocked her true voice.What began with poems turned into songs, what started as open mics became a passion, and soon Laur Elle found herself in studios co-writing and shaping a sound that bridges the intimacy of a singer-songwriter with the bold energy of pop. Drawing inspiration from storytellers like Taylor Swift, the playful edge of The 1975, and the raw honesty of artists like Halsey and Dominic Fike, she's carved out a sound that feels both nostalgic and new — dreamy yet grounded, escapist yet real.For Laur Elle, music is more than melody — it's medicine. With pen in hand and guitar close by, she channels her own emotions into songs designed to help others release theirs. Her tracks, described as “music for running (or driving) away from problems,” are made to soundtrack the moments when you need to breathe, feel, and just be.Still in her early 20s, Laur Elle is quickly establishing herself as an artist to watch. And while her journey started with words, it's her music — heartfelt, vulnerable, and vividly alive — that's proving she's found her calling.In this engaging conversation, Laur Elle shares her transformative journey from being a competitive gymnast in Canada to pursuing a career in music in Los Angeles.  She reflects on the challenges of identity, the creative process of songwriting, and the importance of vulnerability in her art.  Laur Elle discusses her inspirations, the evolution of her music, and the lessons learned along the way, emphasizing the significance of trusting one's intuition and embracing the messiness of the creative journey.  The conversation highlights the power of connection and the impact of sharing one's story with others, especially for women in the creative industry.Chapters00:00 From Gymnastics to Music: A Journey of Transformation03:04 Exploring Identity and Artistic Expression05:46 The Creative Process: Writing Songs and Finding Inspiration09:01 Navigating Vulnerability and Connection in Music11:59 Influences and Inspirations: Shaping the Artist's Sound14:54 The Evolution of Music: New Projects and Self-Discovery17:51 Overcoming Doubts: The Reality of Being an Artist21:04 Legacy and Impact: Inspiring Future Generations24:03 Trusting Your Intuition: Advice for Creatives26:52 Embracing the Messiness of the Creative Journey30:02 Memorable Moments: The Power of Connection32:58 Lessons Learned: Advice from the Journey35:57 The Importance of Vulnerability in Art38:54 Final Thoughts: Trusting Yourself and Your VoiceConnect with Laur Elle: Website: https://laurellemusic.com/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5DQPhXyByXuh4DxLjHm7UH?si=oHE1SzouSFSz63Dx7H0XSw&nd=1Apple Music: Connect with The Women On Top: Follow The Women On Top Podcast on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere you get your podcasts.

Are calm corners helping students regulate... or just giving them a softer way to opt out? In this episode of Graded, I take a hard look at one of the most popular SEL approaches in schools today: calm corners.

In this episode of The Sacred Speaks, host Dr. John W. Price welcomes Mirabai Starr—acclaimed translator of the mystics, teacher of interspiritual wisdom, and luminous guide to the sacred woven through daily life. Together, they explore the heart of ordinary mysticism: discovering holiness not only in monasteries or mountaintops, but in the tender rhythms of our own existence. Mirabai opens her story with radical honesty—her countercultural Jewish upbringing, alternative education, and the teachers and traditions that shaped her. The conversation turns to how rigid ideas of “being spiritual” can keep us from true intimacy with the divine, and how humility, humor, and embodiment restore us to a living spirituality. Mirabai shares how the death of her teenage daughter became a devastating but sacred initiation, revealing grief as one of the deepest portals into divine love. Moving between ancient voices and her own life, Mirabai offers a mysticism that is fiercely tender, humble, embodied, and accessible to all. This dialogue invites us to see our own lives as sacred ground—woven with loss and beauty, pain and joy, shadow and wonder. Key Takeaways Mysticism is accessible in everyday life, not just in monasteries or religious settings. Rigid religious or cultural ideas of “spirituality” can block authentic spiritual experience. Embodiment and emotions—especially grief—are sacred entry points into deeper connection. Translating the mystics is less about history than entering a living dialogue across time. Friendship, humor, humility, and even money can be part of an integrated spiritual life.

“If you can see that your product is selling better with better sounds, and it gets better reviews Actually, I saw a car review that scored the car better just because the sounds were better. He didn't talk about how fast it could go, how fast it could brake or how many airbags, he talked about the user experience. A car today is a driving iPad on wheels. So, all these sounds here, I got so stressed from these beeps and boops, suddenly it was too close to the edge, or too close to that... sometimes there wasn't even a thing, and it just starts to, what was that? Was a fly running through the camera? What was it? So, I think it's so important that we also choose brands and products with our ears as well with our eyes, and also with our wallets.” – Karsten Kjems This episode's guest was raised in a musical home with a studio in the basement. He began drumming professionally at 23, and his passion for sound design and early use of digital audio tools like ProTracker on the Amiga shaped his approach to music and technology. While working at a branding agency, he noticed companies struggling to define their sonic identity, leading him to launch one of the first strategic audio branding agencies, Sonic Minds, in 2004. Today, he's a recognized expert in the field, frequently speaking and teaching about sound design.His name is Karsten Kjems, and you'll want to hear more about his perspective on brand sounds, why he believes audio branding to be so important, and what sets good and bad sound apart. If you're still on the fence about audio branding for your own company, or if you're struggling to explain why it's important to your clients, you should definitely check out this conversation.

(0:00:00) - The Power of Sound in BrandingAs we start things off, Karsten shares his early memories of sound, and how growing up with ADHD in a musical family shaped his formative years. “I was brought up in a family where my father was a drummer,” Karsten recalls, “so I've always been around musicians and music and the first time I really discovered that I had this almost perfect pitch was when I went to music school.” He explains how a surprising discovery at a concert led to his career in marketing and audio branding, and the seismic shift that the streaming era – and particularly the rise of YouTube – represented for the industry. “Suddenly brands and companies need to communicate in these spheres,” he tells us. “How did they do that? How did they choose music? How should they buy music? So it's a whole new game, from only being on TV and radio to being on all the time, to keep… producing content all the time.”(0:12:18) - Designing Meaningful Audio Branding ExperiencesOur conversation turns to UX and branding through sound design, and Karsten points out how ubiquitous sound interfaces have become these days. “A headset, a modern headset, for whatever company, it can have up to around 15 different sounds,” he...

Markets continue the current phase of compression and no big moves in anticipation of Fed rate cuts to be announced tomorrow. Markets are operating under the lowest levels of compressed volatility we've seen in a while. Markets have just been ticking-up (or down) 20-basis points, 30-basis points each day, not making much headway. There is a slight tilt of more buyers than sellers at this point. The MACD buy signal is ON at elevated levels, which limits much more upside. We have moved into the seasonally weak period of the year, August and September, in which there is typically more volatility, only we didn't get it! Sometimes, averages and statistics don't do what they're supposed to...or what you want them to do. Some years have pullbacks in the Fall, and some years don't. This year didn't. What normally happens is weaker returns; that didn't happen, either: There is a lot of support for the markets and a lot of retail buying going on, and the chase for AI has been pushing stocks higher. The AIQ, for example, is at the highest, most over bought level we've seen since the peak of the market back in April. But breadth in the markets has not been very strong; only a few companies are seeing much activity, and those that ARE are seeing very extreme deviations above moving averages. This is cause for caution. Doesn't mean anything is going to crash, but those type of deviations are hard to sustain. Same thing is happening in the Q's. The equal-weighted index, however, is displaying very different behavior. We are about to move into a seasonally-strong period of the year; earnings are going to be good with a likely 75% beat-rate; that will support the markets. Stock buy backs are at record highs this year, and their resumption will also add support to markets.  Hosted by RIA Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO  Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Watch the Video version of this report on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLdsKL5irVM&list=PLwNgo56zE4RAbkqxgdj-8GOvjZTp9_Zlz&index=1 ------- Get more info & commentary:  https://realinvestmentadvice.com/insights/real-investment-daily/ ------- Register for our next RIA Dynamic Learning Series event, "Savvy Medicare Planning," September 18, 2025: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/resources/events/savvy-medicare-planning-what-baby-boomers-need-to-know-about-medicare/ ------- Visit our Site: https://www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to SimpleVisor: https://www.simplevisor.com/register-new -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #FederalReserve #MarketVolatility #StockMarketUpdate #AIStocks #SP500 #InvestingAdvice #Money #Investing  

This week, we're scratching The Itch to play DED. As in, we've played DED's new album Resent (out September 19th) so much that we had to have frontman Joe Cotela on to talk about it. Joe talks about the perhaps unconscious decision to go heavier after a more melodic turn on 2021's School of Thought, how he prefers to use heavyweight guests like Chad Gray, Chris Motionless, and Danny Leal on more brutal tracks rather than for radio clout, and how humility is always more attractive than ego. Plus, Aaron has a marketing idea, and Joe has a good reason why that idea could lead to trouble. Enjoy.

Our teacher today is Steve Mandel, founder of Lone Pine Capital, one of the defining investment firms of our time. For starters, Steve is, without question, among the most important leaders in the investment management industry. Consider that Seth Klarman once called him, “the best industry analyst I've ever met, who became the best long short hedge fund manager of his generation.” In our opinion, the magic of Lone Pine resides in the principles that form its foundation and the people that animate its culture. But to understand the organization, you really need to first understand its master builder, a man of unusual integrity whose reputation across every dimension of his life and at every chapter of his life is so consistent and compelling when it comes to investing. Steve has an infectious Buffett-like love for the craft, and he's someone who seems more rooted in an orientation of service than any investor we've ever met. And one of the great paradoxes of this story is that from day one, Steve deliberately architected Lone Pine so that it would always be about more than just him. Beyond Lone Pine, we also discuss the value of having heroes and mentors, how relationships can enrich an education and a career, the art of doing great research, and what is important when investing in periods of accelerated change. John Gardner once said, “There are men and women who make the world better just by being the kind of people they are.” It's truly an honor to bring this conversation to you with one of those kinds of people. Please enjoy class with the one and only Steve Mandel.

The central theme of our discussion revolves around the profound impact of influences and idols on our lives. We delve into the complexities of how the cultural phenomena surrounding us shape our identities and beliefs, often blurring the lines between beneficial influences and detrimental idols. Through a candid examination of personal experiences and societal examples, we aim to illuminate the necessity of discerning what we allow to influence us, particularly in an era rife with pervasive media and social pressures. Our conversation invites listeners to reflect on their own lives, encouraging a critical assessment of the voices they heed and the values they uphold. Ultimately, we contend that the most worthy influence we can embrace is that which draws us closer to God and His teachings, guiding our paths with clarity and purpose.Takeaways: The episode emphasizes the critical distinction between influences and idols, highlighting how they shape our behavior and beliefs. We acknowledge that while external influences can impact our thoughts, it is essential to take responsibility for our own actions and choices. The discussion includes the importance of being aware of the media and messages we consume, as they can subtly alter our perspectives and values. We explore the idea that our true focus should be on God and His teachings, rather than allowing secular idols to dominate our lives.

After a short and much-needed break, I'm back with new episodes and excited to have The Lemon Twigs on the show this week!  Brian and Michael D'Addario have perfected a vintage pop sound to make it their own, and their shimmery, fun vibes combine with vocal harmonies seemingly only brothers can achieve.
