Podcasts about Integration

This episode goes deep into the strange, powerful, and often misunderstood terrain of psychedelics, consciousness, and human potential. I'm joined by Adam Butler, a psychedelic philosopher and long-time DMT psychonaut, whose work lives at the intersection of mental health, neuroplasticity, trauma healing, and radical self-exploration.Adam shares his personal transformation story—moving from addiction, chronic stress, and emotional repression into sobriety, balance, and embodied clarity—and how intentional psychedelic use played a pivotal role in that shift. We explore how compounds like DMT can act as catalysts for confronting fear, dissolving trauma patterns, and reprogramming deeply-ingrained mental and emotional loops when approached with discipline, reverence, and integration.From there, the conversation expands into the mechanics of the mind itself. We talk about neuroplasticity, meditation, lucid dreaming, tantric practices, and how these tools can be woven together to access altered states without bypassing responsibility or grounding. Adam offers a refreshingly honest take on the risks, the myths, and the shadow side of psychedelic culture, especially when it comes to escapism, ego inflation, and spiritual shortcuts.This is not a surface-level conversation. It's about facing discomfort, rewiring fear responses, and learning how to meet extreme inner experiences with presence instead of avoidance. If you're curious about the deeper psychological and philosophical implications of psychedelics—or you're interested in what real integration looks like beyond the hype, this episode will challenge, expand, and ground you all at once.For a free pdf version of his book, Butler's DMT Field Guide: A Brief History, Step by Step Recipes, and Personal Experiences From a DMT Saturated Consciousness, email Adam at booksbyadambutler@gmail.com.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended for diagnosing or treating illnesses.

Urban residents are increasingly adopting dopamine fasting as a structured way to disconnect from the constant noise of modern life. In cities like Austin, New York, and Cleveland, residents utilize this practice to seek relief from digital distraction and overstimulation. According to the sources, here is how urban residents use these techniques to address overstimulation and burnout: Intentional Breaks from High-Stimulus Activities Residents in top-ranking cities for this trend engage in intentional breaks from activities associated with instant gratification. Rather than a literal "reset" of brain chemistry, the practice is focused on reducing the frequency of dopamine spikes triggered by modern behaviors. Common strategies include: Digital Detoxes: Taking multi-day or week-long breaks from social media and video gaming to break compulsive reward-seeking loops. Dietary and Lifestyle Changes: Avoiding sugary snacks, processed foods, and alcohol as part of a broader effort to manage stimulation. Reengaging with Low-Stimulus Activities: Using the time gained to focus on nature, reading, or direct social connection, which provides deeper satisfaction than digital inputs. Combatting Burnout and Enhancing Focus Urban residents utilize these breaks specifically to combat the "constant connectivity" that leads to burnout. By stepping away from incessant stimulation, they aim to achieve several psychological benefits: Mental Clarity and Productivity: Participants report increased focus and executive function, which are essential for navigating demanding urban work environments. Emotional Regulation: The practice is linked to improved mood, reduced anxiety, and a decrease in symptoms of depression. Present-Moment Awareness: By removing digital distractions, residents find they can cultivate greater mindfulness and intentional living. Integration into Workplace Culture The trend is also being recognized as a tool for holistic wellness in professional settings. Leaders and HR professionals are encouraged to support employees in setting boundaries with technology and taking intentional breaks to support long-term well-being and build healthier workplace cultures. Expert Cautions on Implementation While many see it as a healthy practice, experts in the sources suggest that the most effective way to address burnout is through moderation and purposeful reduction rather than total deprivation. Taking the practice to extremes can lead to isolation or decreased life satisfaction; therefore, it is often recommended as a component of a balanced lifestyle rather than a rigid "fast". Analogy for Understanding: Think of dopamine fasting like letting an overheated engine idle. The goal isn't to remove the oil or fuel (the dopamine) which the engine needs to run, but rather to stop redlining the motor so it can cool down and operate efficiently again without burning out.

Eric explains why today's environment demands a new approach—one that connects hardware, software, and services in a more dynamic, real-time ecosystem.Eric shares how integrators help companies navigate not just the technical, but also the legal and operational complexity of modern security. He describes how shifting to cloud platforms, unifying physical and digital identities, and balancing privacy with business outcomes all add new layers of challenge. The conversation highlights the growing use of AI and “visual intelligence”—using camera data for both security and business insight—as organizations look to do more with their investments.Throughout the discussion, Eric makes the case for trusted, neutral advisors who help organizations build smarter, more connected security systems. He shows how today's integrators are positioned to guide clients through tough choices, benchmark best practices, and unlock value that goes far beyond traditional security.Send us a textSupport the show

The Big Unlock · Chethan Sathya, MD., Vice President of Strategic Initiatives, Northwell Health In this episode, Dr. Chethan Sathya, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at Northwell Health, unpacks why healthcare innovation only scales when clinicians, public health, and AI are designed to work together. Dr. Sathya shares his journey from surgery to journalism to public health advocacy, including leading gun violence prevention efforts. He explains why most AI pilots fail, because of poor workflow integration and clinician burden, and why ambient intelligence, tele-specialty care, and agentic AI are poised to scale. His message is clear: build technology alongside clinicians, not around them. Take a listen.

If you've made a decision, felt the shift, and instead of feeling energized or excited you feel… quieter, this episode is for you. This episode is for women navigating growth, leadership, business expansion, and identity shifts who want their next level to actually hold. This is the close of the Quantum Leap series, and it's not about initiating another leap or pushing yourself forward. It's about understanding what actually happens after the shift, why this phase feels unfamiliar, and how capable women unintentionally undo momentum by trying to manage what needs to settle. This episode is for the woman who knows something has changed, but doesn't want to walk herself back out of it by overthinking, optimizing, or forcing clarity. In this episode, we talk about: Why real quantum leaps rarely feel dramatic after the decision is made How to recognize the quiet signs that you're already “in it” Why over-analysis shows up after clarity, not before The difference between intuition and restlessness disguised as discernment Why integration, not speed or activation, is what makes a leap hold How subtle energetic shifts get destabilized by unnecessary effort The takeaway:A quantum leap doesn't collapse because you weren't ready. It collapses when you don't let it become normal. Next step:If you're on the edge of a leap, or in the quiet phase after one, and want clarity on what's actually running your system underneath the strategy, book a free 30-min Subconscious Strategy Session with me.

Interview with Philippe Cloutier, President & CEO of Cartier Resources Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/cartier-resources-tsxvecr-agnico-backed-junior-targets-mining-camp-scale-gold-discovery-8319Recording date: 19th January 2026Cartier Resources represents a compelling investment opportunity in Canadian gold exploration, combining exceptional drilling economics, strategic backing from Agnico Eagle Mines, and systematic execution of a mining camp-scale discovery programme across 15 kilometres of Quebec's prolific Cadillac Fault.The investment thesis centres on resource growth from the current 3.2 million ounce baseline at the flagship Chimo Mine toward 4-5 million ounces by year-end 2026, with longer-term potential for 12-15 million ounces across multiple deposits. Independent consultants have formally identified exploration targets for an additional 1.1 million ounces achievable through disciplined drilling, validating management's systematic approach to proving up a mining camp rather than a single-asset development story.Cartier's operational advantages stem directly from location within Val-d'Or's established mining infrastructure. The company has secured all-in drilling costs of C$105-110 per metre—from site preparation through assay results to press release—representing exceptional value in the current inflationary environment. This cost structure enables an aggressive 250,000-metre programme with two rigs currently operating 24/7 and plans to deploy four to six additional rigs, matching in one year the total drilling accomplished over the previous decade.Strategic validation from Agnico Eagle, which holds a 27% stake acquired through its O3 Mining purchase, provides both financial support and technical credibility. Monthly technical committee meetings enable rapid reallocation of drilling resources based on emerging results, whilst Agnico's involvement significantly enhances Cartier's profile amongst institutional investors who view major mining company participation at the exploration stage as validation of project quality and future acquisition potential.The company has initiated critical de-risking studies that progressively enhance project economics. Independent metallurgical testwork targets 96-97% gold recovery rates versus historic 93% recoveries, whilst evaluating toll-milling opportunities at four different processing facilities within 60 kilometres. Establishing toll-milling arrangements could reduce capital expenditure by approximately C$120 million by eliminating dedicated mill construction requirements. Environmental baseline studies and a preliminary economic assessment scheduled for 2026 delivery provide the technical foundation for various development scenarios.Cartier's recent surpassing of C$100 million market capitalisation represented a critical threshold that unlocked institutional investor access previously unavailable. The company has traded over 80 million shares since July 2025, representing complete shareholder base rotation toward sophisticated investors with longer time horizons and larger position sizes. This evolution provides improved liquidity, reduced volatility, and establishes the foundation for additional institutional participation as exploration objectives are achieved.Management has demonstrated disciplined capital allocation by optioning three non-core Windfall District projects to Exploits Discovery for C$2 million cash, nearly 10 million shares, and retained royalties whilst maintaining singular focus on the Cadillac Project. Integration of AI-driven targeting methodologies has already validated discoveries like the Contact zone, accelerating exploration timelines by six to eight months compared to traditional approaches.With C$10 million in treasury supporting aggressive drilling without near-term dilution, gold prices sustained above US$4,600 per ounce dramatically improving project economics, and multiple catalysts including ongoing drill results, metallurgical studies, and year-end PEA delivery, Cartier offers substantial upside leverage at current valuations. The company trades at significant discount to peers with comparable resource bases despite superior jurisdictional advantages, strategic backing, and cost structure. For investors seeking exposure to Abitibi gold discovery potential with clearly defined catalysts and multiple value realisation pathways, Cartier Resources represents a compelling core holding within precious metals portfolios during a critical value inflection period.View Cartier Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/cartier-resources-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

This is the final episode of our Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents series — and it's about integration. Healing doesn't mean you're never triggered. It doesn't mean your parents suddenly change. And it doesn't mean the past disappears. Integration is about learning how to respond differently, trust yourself more, and stop abandoning your needs — even when old patterns show up. In this episode, we focus on what it actually looks like to move forward after awareness. In this episode, you'll hear: What integration really means in healing work Why awareness alone isn't enough Signs you're healing even if it doesn't feel like it How grief, compassion, and boundaries can coexist Letting go of emotional closure that may never come What self-trust looks like after emotional immaturity How to practice healing without pressure or perfection This episode is not about doing more — it's about being with yourself differently. If you've been asking, "Okay… now what?" — this episode is for you. Reflection Questions: Where am I responding differently than I used to? What patterns am I interrupting now? What does emotional safety look like for me today? Healing is not about erasing the past. It's about no longer letting it run your present. Small shifts create big change.

Rob Kancler joins Something For Everybody this week. Rob combines somatic wisdom, practical application, and spiritual insight to help men access their authentic sexual power. In this episode, I welcome back Rob to delve deeper into the complex topic of sexuality, particularly focusing on the question, "What is sex for?" Rob emphasizes the importance of integrity and wholeness in understanding sexual expression, suggesting that sex is not merely a physical act but a fundamental aspect of being human. He discusses how societal norms often lead to a disconnection from our true sexual selves, resulting in feelings of inadequacy and confusion about intimacy. The conversation explores the necessity of integrating our emotions and desires to achieve a fulfilling sexual life, highlighting the impact of societal pressures on men's understanding of their sexuality. -

In this episode of the Dental Boardroom Podcast, host Wes Reed introduces a brand-new subseries called The Executive Session. This interdisciplinary series brings together experts in finance, marketing, and practice management to discuss the real business challenges dental practice owners face today.Joined by co-hosts Megan Shelton (https://www.instagram.com/doctormeganshelton/ (Practice Management & Operations) and Michael from Wondrous Agency (instagram.com/wonderistagency/) (Dental Marketing), this kickoff episode explores how the definition of a “successful” dental practice has evolved over the last decade. The panel breaks down how marketing, operations, and financial strategy must work together to drive sustainable growth without burnout.From tracking real ROI in marketing to improving case acceptance and building systems that support both profitability and lifestyle, this episode sets the foundation for what modern dental leadership looks like.Key TakeawaysSuccess today is more than revenue A successful dental practice balances strong collections with profitability, lifestyle flexibility, and personal fulfillment.Top-line growth without bottom-line control is dangerous High revenue means nothing if margins are thin. Profitability and cash flow matter more than ever.Marketing must be measurable Website traffic and rankings don't pay the bills new patients, collections, and ROI do. Integration with practice management software is critical.Operations make or break marketing Even the best marketing fails if front desk systems, case presentations, and patient experience aren't aligned.Data visibility across the entire pipeline is essential From leads → appointments → case acceptance → collections, successful owners track every stage.Growth requires systems, not hustle Sustainable growth comes from leadership, team retention, clear communication, and predictable processes not longer hours.You can't do it alone High-performing practices invest in expert support marketing, operations, and finance to scale efficiently.Seasons matter Balance looks different at different stages of ownership. Clarity, reflection, and intentional decision-making are key.

AI data centers are no longer just buildings full of racks. They are tightly coupled systems where power, cooling, IT, and operations all depend on each other, and where bad assumptions get expensive fast. On the latest episode of The Data Center Frontier Show, Editor-in-Chief Matt Vincent talks with Sherman Ikemoto of Cadence about what it now takes to design an “AI factory” that actually works. Ikemoto explains that data center design has always been fragmented. Servers, cooling, and power are designed by different suppliers, and only at the end does the operator try to integrate everything into one system. That final integration phase has long relied on basic tools and rules of thumb, which is risky in today's GPU-dense world. Cadence is addressing this with what it calls “DC elements”:  digitally validated building blocks that represent real systems, such as NVIDIA's DGX SuperPOD with GB200 GPUs. These are not just drawings; they model how systems really behave in terms of power, heat, airflow, and liquid cooling. Operators can assemble these elements in a digital twin and see how an AI factory will actually perform before it is built. A key shift is designing directly to service-level agreements. Traditional uncertainty forced engineers to add large safety margins, driving up cost and wasting power. With more accurate simulation, designers can shrink those margins while still hitting uptime and performance targets, critical as rack densities move from 10–20 kW to 50–100 kW and beyond. Cadence validates its digital elements using a star system. The highest level, five stars, requires deep validation and supplier sign-off. The GB200 DGX SuperPOD model reached that level through close collaboration with NVIDIA. Ikemoto says the biggest bottleneck in AI data center buildouts is not just utilities or equipment; it is knowledge. The industry is moving too fast for old design habits. Physical prototyping is slow and expensive, so virtual prototyping through simulation is becoming essential, much like in aerospace and automotive design. Cadence's Reality Digital Twin platform uses a custom CFD engine built specifically for data centers, capable of modeling both air and liquid cooling and how they interact. It supports “extreme co-design,” where power, cooling, IT layout, and operations are designed together rather than in silos. Integration with NVIDIA Omniverse is aimed at letting multiple design tools share data and catch conflicts early. Digital twins also extend beyond commissioning. Many operators now use them in live operations, connected to monitoring systems. They test upgrades, maintenance, and layout changes in the twin before touching the real facility. Over time, the digital twin becomes the operating platform for the data center. Running real AI and machine-learning workloads through these models reveals surprises. Some applications create short, sharp power spikes in specific areas. To be safe, facilities often over-provision power by 20–30%, leaving valuable capacity unused most of the time. By linking application behavior to hardware and facility power systems, simulation can reduce that waste, crucial in an era where power is the main bottleneck. The episode also looks at Cadence's new billion-cycle power analysis tools, which allow massive chip designs to be profiled with near-real accuracy, feeding better system- and facility-level models. Cadence and NVIDIA have worked together for decades at the chip level. Now that collaboration has expanded to servers, racks, and entire AI factories. As Ikemoto puts it, the data center is the ultimate system—where everything finally comes together—and it now needs to be designed with the same rigor as the silicon inside it.

Brian Gregory of Intermedia joined Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, for a Cloud Communications Alliance (CCA) podcast discussing how Intermedia has quickly become a preferred platform for service providers seeking modern, cloud-based communications. Intermedia operates as a channel-first UCaaS and CCaaS provider, with more than 90 percent of its business delivered through partners. Gregory explained that the company formally launched its service provider program just two years ago, responding to market shifts as traditional feature-server platforms slowed and demand increased for more agile, cloud-native solutions. In that short time, Intermedia has signed roughly 30 percent of U.S. tier-two service providers, those with approximately $50 million to $2 billion in annual revenue—an adoption rate Gregory says reflects both timing and platform flexibility. “The market was ready for a more nimble, cloud-based provider,” Gregory said. “As a cloud platform, we can respond very quickly to changes—whether that's AI, Teams integration, or new go-to-market requirements—and our service providers can immediately take those capabilities to their customers.” Looking ahead to 2026, Intermedia's priorities include practical AI adoption with measurable ROI, deeper vertical-market integrations, and continued expansion of its Microsoft Teams strategy. Rather than replacing Teams, Intermedia enhances it by embedding enterprise-grade telephony and a fully integrated contact center—enabling partners to deliver higher-value services beyond low-margin trunking. Gregory also highlighted Intermedia's new migration program, designed to help service providers move legacy hosted PBX customers onto a single, modern platform using automated tools, overlay resources, and financial incentives. As cloud communications continue to evolve, Intermedia is positioning itself as a growth engine for service providers navigating AI-driven, Teams-centric customer environments.

People of Packaging Podcast: Rooting Your Sales Journey in TruthIn this episode, host Adam Peek takes us on a deep dive into his new book, Sales Exegesis: A Pastor's Journey into Packaging Sales. Drawing from his unique background as a pastor and his decade-plus career in the packaging industry, Adam explores why so many sales professionals feel disconnected from their work and how to find dignity and integrity in the sales process.Key Discussion Points:* The Dignity of Sales: Adam discusses how the “manipulative salesperson” stereotype has stripped the dignity from the profession. He shares his passion for helping others rediscover that dignity and find wholeness in their roles.* Integration of Self: Learn how Adam bridged the gap between his personal life as a father and pastor and his professional life in sales, finding that he could be his whole self in every environment.* Exegesis vs. Eisegesis in Sales: * Eisegesis: Sales driven by emotional fear and subjective assumptions (e.g., “They won't want to talk to me” or “Our prices are too high”).* Exegesis: Sales rooted in objective truth and observable data. Adam explains the importance of starting with facts about the prospect and their business before making interpretations.* The Power of Objective Truth: Discover a practical process for gathering “observable facts” about your prospects to build a solid foundation for your sales strategy, free from “head trash” and self-defeating talk.Memorable Quotes:“Integrity comes from the word ‘integer,' which means to be whole. I wanted to be whole in my job—to bring my full self as a father, husband, and pastor into my sales work.”“When you root your sales process in objective truth rather than emotional fear, you're on a much firmer path to success.”Resources Mentioned:* Buy the Book: www.salesexegesis.com* Connect with Adam Peek on LinkedIn: Adam Peek* Learn more about Label King: www.labelking.com This is a public episode.

Growth does not always come through fixing, processing, or healing another layer of pain. Sometimes growth arrives quietly — through integration, rest, and allowing yourself to simply be.In this joint episode, Nimesh Radia and Stacey Brown explore what it feels like when the healing journey begins to soften into a new phase of growth. They talk about how unfamiliar it can feel when life becomes less intense, why stillness can feel uncomfortable, and how rest is not a setback but a vital part of spiritual embodiment.This conversation invites you to notice how far you've come, to release old identities built around constant healing, and to trust the phase you are currently in. A gentle guided process supports you in connecting with your present energy and recognising what is shifting within you.If you've been feeling tired, reflective, or unsure why things feel different, this episode offers reassurance, grounding, and permission to integrate rather than push forward.Key Themes✨ When growth no longer feels like healing ✨ Integration as a phase of spiritual maturity ✨ The power of rest and presence ✨ Letting go of old identities ✨ Community support during transitionsTakeaways✨ You don't always need to fix something to grow ✨ Integration is where healing becomes lived wisdom ✨ Rest can be productive and necessary ✨ Growth can feel quiet, unfamiliar, and expansive ✨ Being present allows deeper embodimentSound Bites✨ This is a lifelong journey ✨ What if healing is softening ✨ There's power in this momentAlso available to watch on YouTube.

Kaliris has a conversation with three leaders in education policy around integration and culturally responsive and sustaining education focused on the new Chancellor's priorities. They discuss whether they represent a new vision for public schools in NYC.

One minute you're steady. Clear. Even hopeful. And the next minute you hear their name… see a movie scene… hit an anniversary… and you're right back on the floor wondering, What is wrong with me? Nothing is wrong with you. In this episode, I break down the real reason betrayal feels like an emotional rollercoaster—and why those swings don't mean you're failing. You'll learn the difference between knowledge (understanding what happened) and integration (your nervous system actually living from safety again), why relief can feel like healing (even when it isn't), and what it truly takes to calm the spirals for good—so you can stop questioning your progress and start rebuilding steady self-trust.   Top 3 Takeaways Feeling better isn't the same as being healed. Insight can bring real relief—but relief can masquerade as completion. That “aha” moment is knowledge… not integration. Triggers don't mean you're back at square one. Hearing the affair partner's name, seeing a text, watching a movie scene—those reactions aren't proof you're broken. They're proof your body is still learning safety. Integration is where healing actually happens. Healing lives in your moment-to-moment responses: how you regulate, what you say, what you choose, and how you show up when your system is activated. Who This Episode Is For Women who feel steady one day and wrecked the next, and don't understand why Listeners who've read the books, binged the podcasts, gone to therapy… and still feel “better only sometimes” Anyone who keeps thinking, “Why am I still triggered?” and wants a grounded explanation that doesn't pathologize them Favorite Quote “Calm is not the same as change. Knowledge lives in the mind—integration lives in the body.”   About Lora Lora Cheadle, JD, CHt is a former attorney turned betrayal recovery coach, hypnotherapist, and author who helps women rebuild their identity and reclaim their power after infidelity and profound emotional betrayal.

There's a lot of pressure to reinvent yourself when you grow—to become someone new, sharper, or more distant from who you once were. But real growth doesn't require erasure. It requires integration.In this episode, Pamela explores what it means to become whole instead of becoming new. This conversation centers discernment without hardness, boundaries without bitterness, and the quiet confidence that comes from letting your life reflect your growth—without the need to explain or justify it.This episode is for anyone who has settled into themselves and is learning how to move from alignment instead of approval.In this episode, we explore:Why reinvention is often overratedThe difference between performing growth and embodying itWhat integration looks like in real lifeDiscernment versus emotional hardnessLetting your life speak instead of constantly explaining yourselfTrusting God's guidance over outside opinionsReflection Questions:Where are you performing growth instead of living it?What parts of you are asking to be integrated, not replaced?What would change if you trusted that your life already reflects your growth?Stay Connected:Follow me on Instagram & Threads: @thenotoriouspldbWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thewelldonelifepameladavis1928 Learn more about The Well Done Life: @thewelldonelifepodcastListen to past episodes on all streaming platforms.Thank you for listening.

A conference for new immigrant physicians was recently held in Jerusalem, as part of a program spearheaded by the Ministry of Aliya and Integration together with partner organizations that streamlines their integration into the Israeli healthcare system. More than 540 physicians moved to Israel from around the world last year. One of them is Dr. Carly Debinski, a pediatric neurologist who immigrated from Australia this past summer, and who has joined the Sheba medical center. She spoke to KAN reporter Naomi Segal.

What if the music is doing more therapy than we realize?In this episode of The Vital Point Podcast, Jonathan sits down with Eric Sienknecht from Polaris Insight Center to explore the art, and the science—of music curation for ketamine-assisted therapy, breathwork, and other non-ordinary states of consciousness. From long-form DJ sets to holotropic-inspired “sonic containers,” we unpack why seamless transitions, tension-and-release, and rhythm can dramatically shape the inner landscape.Jonathan shares his surprising experience with at-home ketamine lozenges and how Polaris playlists helped turn sessions into coherent, emotionally intelligent journeys—where the music felt timed to the body's own processing. Together, they examine the nuanced line between staying with discomfort (shadow work) and honoring consent, safety, and nervous system limits, plus why learning to ask for what you need may be one of the most healing skills in altered states.You'll also hear practical integration strategies—like re-listening to your session playlist during the post-ketamine neuroplasticity window—along with a grounded conversation about the benefits and limitations of the new at-home ketamine landscape.**Please Note** this is an educational conversation, not medical advice. Ketamine affects people differently, and dosing—especially with at-home lozenges—should be determined with your prescribing clinician and followed exactly per your clinic's protocol.

Trade Integration and Security Concerns in Mercosur and Costa Rica. Guest: PROFESSOR EVAN ELLIS, U.S. Army War College. Mercosur has achieved a historic trade deal with the European Union, potentially offsetting U.S.economic pressure and deepening ties with China. In Costa Rica, rising public insecurity has led the government to consider El Salvador's "mega-prison" model as they head into elections dominated by concerns over organized crime.1910

Worksheet: Meeting Your ShadowHave you ever done something and then wondered, "Who was that? That wasn't me"?Maybe it was a relapse. A hurtful comment you didn't mean to say. Or that familiar feeling of sabotaging yourself right when things were finally going well. The uncomfortable truth? It was you—just a part of you that's been hiding in the shadows.In this episode of The Addicted Mind, Duane and Eric Osterlind explore one of psychology's most powerful concepts: the shadow self. First named by psychiatrist Carl Jung, the shadow is the unconscious part of your personality where you've stuffed everything you think is unacceptable—your anger, jealousy, selfishness, and those desires you don't want anyone to see.Here's the problem: what you repress grows in the dark.The more you ignore these hidden parts of yourself, the stronger they become. And for those struggling with addiction, the shadow often becomes the invisible force that hijacks your recovery and drives you back into old patterns. It's exhausting trying to be "good" all the time while fighting a war inside yourself.But here's the twist that might surprise you: your shadow isn't just the "bad" parts. It also contains buried treasures—your creativity, your passion, your drive. These gifts often get locked away because they seemed "too much" or not acceptable to the people around you.The goal of shadow work isn't to destroy these parts of yourself. It's not about fixing something that's broken. As Duane and Eric discuss, drawing from Internal Family Systems therapy, there are no bad parts. Every part of you is trying to help in some way, even if that help has become distorted over time.Instead, shadow work is about integration—bringing these hidden parts into the light so you can understand them and find healthy outlets for their energy. When you stop running from your shadow, something amazing happens: you free up all the energy you were using to keep that basement door locked. That energy becomes available for your recovery, your relationships, and your life.In this episode, you'll learn two practical ways to start exploring your shadow safely. First, pay attention to what annoys you in other people. That strong reaction? It's often pointing to something you've disowned in yourself. Second, get curious about your negative traits instead of shaming them. That anger you hate? It might be protecting you. That laziness? It might be your body begging for rest.The path to freedom isn't about becoming perfect. It's about becoming whole. A real person has a shadow—and meeting yours might be the most important step you take in your recovery.Key TopicsWhat is the shadow self? Carl Jung's concept of the unconscious parts of our personality we've denied, rejected, or repressedWhy whatever you repress grows in the dark—and how this fuels addiction and self-sabotageThe shadow isn't all bad—hidden within it are creativity, passion, and driveIntegration vs. fixing—why there are "no bad parts" and what that means for recoveryThe projection exercise—how what annoys you in others reveals your own shadowGetting curious instead of shaming—finding the positive intention behind negative traitsWholeness over perfection—reclaiming the energy spent hiding from yourselfTimestamps[00:01:00] – Introduction: Have you ever felt like there's another part of you living inside?[00:03:00] – The pain point: Self-sabotage and the exhaustion of trying to be good all the time[00:05:00] – Carl Jung's shadow concept explained: The bag we drag behind us[00:06:00] – The twist: Your shadow contains hidden gifts, not just darkness[00:08:00] – Integration vs. fixing: Why there are no bad parts[00:09:00] – Action step #1: Exploring your projections—what annoys you in others[00:11:00] – Action step #2: Getting curious about your negative traitsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

High performers often struggle with role confusion after burnout or transition. This episode explores identity beyond titles, why grief is a normal part of growth, and how to let a meaningful chapter complete without losing yourself.For many high-capacity humans, the hardest question doesn't appear during crisis — it surfaces during transition.When the pressure eases.When the role loosens.When the title no longer defines the day.Who am I without the role that built my life?In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores the quiet, often unspoken grief that emerges when identity is no longer fused to function. This is not an identity crisis — it's identity maturation.High performers navigating burnout recovery, decision fatigue, role confusion, success without fulfillment, identity drift, and spiritual exhaustion often feel caught off guard by this tenderness. After all, growth was chosen. Alignment is present. So why does something ache?Julie names what most don't: identity grief is normal. Grief doesn't only appear when something is taken — it also arises when something meaningful is complete.Through the Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) pathway, this episode explores the movement from reclamation into integration. Reclamation is the season of disentangling identity from survival roles. Integration is where those roles are honored, released, and allowed to complete with dignity.ILR is not another mindset tactic or performance strategy. It's the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective again. By beginning with identity — not behavior — ILR helps high-capacity humans stop proving their worth through roles and start living from a stable, integrated sense of self.Nothing was wasted.Nothing needs to be undone.You're not erasing who you were — you're letting a chapter close.And completion, real completion, is one of the most adult forms of growth there is.Today's Micro RecalibrationPause and ask yourself — gently, without rushing:What role am I allowing to complete without immediately replacing it?You're not defining what's next.You're honoring what's been.That's integration.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

With Jason Ozur, Founding Partner, Chief Executive Officer, Lido Advisors Overview As firms pursue scale, advisors face a critical question: how do you grow without compromising the client experience? Jason Ozur joins the show to explore what intentional growth really looks like and what scale can enable when culture and clarity come first.

About this episode… Over the last decade, scale has become one of the defining themes in wealth management. Larger firms promise broader resources, deeper infrastructure, and expanded opportunity. But they also raise a fair question: at what point does growth begin to work against the client experience it's meant to enhance? That's the center of today's conversation. Jason Ozur and his partners at Lido Advisors have built one of the largest RIAs in the country, managing more than $40B in assets, while maintaining a family-office mindset and a distinctly client-first culture. What's notable is not just the firm's growth, but how intentionally it has been pursued. Jason talks about Lido's growth story and more with Jason Diamond, including: The real constraints on growth—and the roles of culture, capital, and clients. The role of the wirehouses in the modern landscape and how the RIA model differs. The realities of scale—and what it enables when done thoughtfully. The concept of “bigger is better”—and why Jason sees that as an oversimplification. Integration versus aggregation—and how Lido evaluates acquisitions. The evolving role of private equity in the RIA space—and why access to capital doesn't have to come at the expense of independence or client outcomes. It's a candid look at what sustainable growth actually means—and what advisors and owners should consider as firms across the industry continue to grow.

From process consultant to helping businesses increase their enterprise value through systematization, Adi Klevit shares proven strategies for documenting operations, preparing companies for successful exits, and ensuring post-merger integrations don't fall apart. In this episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer sits down with Adi Klevit, founder of Business Success Consulting Group, who has spent over 30 years helping entrepreneurs bring order to their operations. Adi hosts the Systems Simplified podcast and contributes articles to Inc.com. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: In this episode, you'll discover how documented processes dramatically increase enterprise value when selling a business, why buyers light up when they realize they're purchasing a system rather than just a company, and the concept of "unconscious competence" that keeps valuable knowledge trapped in entrepreneurs' heads. Adi shares how to extract hidden systems behind your natural talents, why entrepreneurs resist systematization even though it creates freedom, and how to get teams to actually follow documented processes. You'll also learn how process documentation complements entrepreneurial operating systems like EOS and Scaling Up, what breaks down in post-merger integration when documentation doesn't exist, and why AI is a powerful tool but cannot replace human judgment. ADI'S JOURNEY: Adi started a tutoring business in 9th grade that grew entirely through referrals, teaching her early lessons about balancing promotion with delivery. After working as VP of Marketing at an international consulting company, she launched her own firm when partnership wasn't available. As a general business consultant, she kept telling clients they needed documented processes, and nothing would happen. Finally, she offered to do it for them, and a niche was born. KEY INSIGHTS: A painting company owner documented all their processes with Adi's help. When he went to sell, the buyer's eyes lit up because he realized he wasn't just buying a painting company. He was buying a complete system and operation. On the flip side, Adi recently got a call from someone who bought a company with 60 employees and nothing documented. If everyone quit tomorrow, he would have no idea how to run what he just purchased. EOS implementers are Adi's biggest referral source because operating systems tell you that you need documented processes but don't create them for you. Adi's firm serves as a fractional process team that does the implementation work entrepreneurs keep pushing off. Too many people think deals are done when documents are signed. Adi works with companies that grow through acquisition, helping them bring new employees up to speed on unified systems. Even when both companies have good systems independently, those systems differ. Integration work determines whether the combined entity functions as one or remains two disconnected operations. For Adi, freedom means the ability to create. The systems she builds generate the freedom she values. Perfect for business owners preparing for exits, entrepreneurs struggling to extract knowledge from their heads, and acquirers concerned about post-merger integration.

Welcome back to Two Pastors and a Mic — and welcome to 2026.In this first episode of the new year, Cory and Channock kick off what we're calling “The 2:6 Life” (1 John 2:6): “If anyone claims to live in Him, they must live as Jesus lived.” But instead of turning that verse into pressure, performance, or behavior modification… we talk about what it looks like to live from union — and to actually integrate what you already know.Because a lot of us don't need more information… we need transformation that shows up in our relationships, our pace, our nervous system, and the way we carry ourselves in the world.In this episode, we unpack Jesus' inner posture through the “Four UNs”:UNOFFENDED (not reactive, not self-protective)UNHUSTLED (moving at the speed of trust)UNAFRAID OF SCARCITY (no striving, no lack mindset)UNMANAGED BY PEOPLE'S REACTIONS (not controlled by praise or criticism)And we set up where we're headed next: learning how to live with what you already know, and unlearning versions of “godliness” that were really just survival.If you've ever felt exhausted by spiritual pressure… or you're hungry to follow Jesus in a way that feels grounded, free, and real — this one's for you.Like, share, and subscribe — and if you know someone who needs a fresh start to the year, send this episode to them.00:08 - Welcome + Where You're Watching From00:25 - Like/Share/Subscribe + Help Spread the Podcast00:56 - Why We Started: A Resource Off the Stage01:13 - Cory's Sick + First Episode of 202601:33 - The “2:6 Life” as the 2026 Theme01:46 - Shift for 2026: Integration, Not Just More Theology02:08 - “Apply What You Already Know” (Bible + Union)02:51 - Knowledge Puffs Up, Love Builds Up03:37 - 1 John 2:6: “Live as Jesus Did”04:10 - Inspired vs. Exhausted: Two Ways People Hear It04:48 - Why It Feels Exhausting: Behavior Modification & Performance05:13 - WWJD Bracelets + Honesty About Shame-Based Religion05:55 - Union Changes Everything: Obedience From Intimacy07:10 - Love First: 1 John 4:16–17 + “We Is Risen” Callback08:10 - Not Copying Jesus—Sharing His Life08:22 - Why Jesus Was So Attractive: Inner Posture09:31 - Trust in the Father + Nervous System Question10:02 - Does Trust Feel Like Peace or Pressure?11:06 - The Body Keeps the Score + Religious Trauma11:47 - The Four “UNs” of Jesus' Inner Posture12:21 - UNOFFENDED: Not Driven by Insults or Self-Protection14:30 - UNHUSTLED: The Speed of Trust (No Hurry)16:33 - Hustle Isn't Faithfulness: Demand Doesn't Direct Jesus17:02 - UNAFRAID OF SCARCITY: No Striving, No Lack Mentality19:00 - UNMANAGED by People's Reactions: Praise & Criticism20:24 - Recap: The Four UNs + Living the 2:6 Life20:51 - Walking Like Jesus = Trusting His Source21:47 - What's Next: Living With What You Know + Unlearning Survival “Godliness”22:18 - Upcoming Topics: Trauma Responses, Mourning Loss, Unforced Rhythms of Grace22:35 - Closing: You're Loved + Music Outro

They sit down with CEO Indus Khaitan to discuss how Redblock uses AI and computer vision to solve the "last mile" problem in identity management: disconnected applications.Indus explains how Redblock acts as an "agentic" layer, using screen recordings to learn administrative tasks for apps that lack APIs. The conversation covers the origin of the company name, the urgency of securing the "long tail" of applications, and how they build trust and guardrails around AI execution. They also discuss the "DoorDash" analogy for identity fulfillment and wrap up with a fun chat about Indus's passion for flying planes.Connect with Indus: https://www.linkedin.com/in/khaitan/Learn more: redblock.ai/idacConnect with us on LinkedIn:Jim McDonald: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmcdonaldpmp/Jeff Steadman: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffsteadman/Visit the show on the web at [idacpodcast.com](http://idacpodcast.com)Timestamps00:00 Introduction from Gartner IAM Summit00:46 Guest Introduction: Indus Khaitan of Redblock01:40 Indus's Journey into Identity02:41 The Origin of the Name "Redblock"04:20 The Underserved Market: Services vs. Software07:34 The Urgency of Securing Disconnected Apps09:19 Why Traditional IGA and PAM Aren't Enough11:35 The DoorDash Analogy: Where Redblock Fits14:30 What Makes Redblock Unique?

In this podcast, host Greg Voisen sits down with seasoned executive coach and author Kris Girrell to peel back the layers of a phenomenon sweeping through modern society: the rise of the "spiritual but not religious." If you have ever felt like you've outgrown the rigid pews of traditional doctrine or felt a "dark night of the soul" burning away your old certainties, this conversation is your roadmap. Kris discusses his provocative book, Spiritually Homeless, exploring why so many people are jettisoning inherited beliefs to find a more authentic, direct connection with the divine. Are you truly letting go, or just checking out? How do you distinguish between the ego's chatter and the soul's whisper? Greg and Kris dive deep into the "unselfing" process, the necessity of embracing mystery over certainty, and how to find a new kind of community when you no longer fit in the old one. This episode isn't just about leaving a building; it's about arriving at your true self. What You Will Learn By tuning into this episode, listeners will gain insights into: - The Developmental Shift: Why maturing as an adult often forces us out of "black and white" religious thinking into a more complex, nuanced spirituality. - The "Unselfing" Process: How to dismantle the power of the ego to allow the "Big Self" (the soul) to emerge. - Navigating the Dark Night: Understanding that spiritual pain is often a "purification fire" designed to burn away old, inherited beliefs. - Integration of Awe: How to process profound "spot-weld moments" of oneness and integrate them into a non-religious daily life. - The Power of Unknowing: Why letting go of the need for answers—and even the questions themselves—is a vital spiritual tool.

ESCALATING CONFLICT BETWEEN SYRIAN FORCES AND KURDISH ALLIES Colleague Akmed Khari. Clashes have erupted in Aleppo between the Syrian government and the Kurdish SDF after a failed integration agreement. Akmed Khari notes the complexity of the US coordinating with Syrian security forces that remain riddled with jihadists. The conflict is expected to expand into other contested regions. Analogy: The situation in Syria is like a shaky alliance between rival firefighters who, while ostensibly trying to put out the same blaze, begin turning their hoses on each other while the fire continues to spread.

Americans have been told that working harder is the path to dignity, security, and success. But what if that promise was hijacked? This week, we're revisiting our episode with Professor Elizabeth Anderson, where she exposes how neoliberalism weaponized the “work ethic” — transforming a moral tradition that once honored workers into a system that blames them, exploits them, and rewards extraction over contribution. Drawing from her new book Hijacked, Anderson traces how today's economy punishes labor, glorifies predatory wealth, and rigs the rules against working people — and what it would take to take the work ethic back. Elizabeth Anderson is the Max Mendel Shaye Professor of Public Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at University of Michigan. She is the author of Value in Ethics and Economics, The Imperative of Integration, and Private Government: How Employers Rule Our Lives (and Why We Don't Talk about It). She is a MacArthur Fellow and Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

In this episode, we explore how emotional integration completes the stress cycle in both mind and body so your nervous system can finally stand down. We walk through a practical five-step integration cycle: identification and labeling, acceptance and allowance, investigation through embodied curiosity, expression for healthy discharge, and action that marks completion. Along the way, we use clear examples to bring the process to life. This conversation reframes emotions as messages to be delivered. You'll learn to sense when an emotion has finished, when thoughts stop looping, your body eases, and urgency drops—and why coherence is about order and timing, not constant positivity. Expect language that's simple, tools you can use today. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs nervous system relief, and leave a review to help others find these practices.To leave a review on Apple Podcasts, open the app and go to the show's page by searching for it or finding it in your library.

What if your spirit guides have been with you your entire life, quietly guiding, protecting, and nudging you forward long before you ever knew what to call them? In this episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan Grau explores who spirit guides truly are, how they communicate, and why so many people feel disconnected from their guidance even when it has been there all along.Susan clears up common myths, including the idea that guidance should be loud, dramatic, or urgent. True guidance, she explains, is subtle, calm, and grounded in clarity, not fear. She breaks down the ways guides communicate: through body sensations, repetition, timing, silence, curiosity, emotional resonance, and even exhaustion, especially during grief, trauma, or periods of spiritual awakening.Importantly, Susan reminds us that guides do not override free will, demand obedience, or remove pain. Their role is to help us reconnect with integrity, truth, and self-trust. This episode is not about becoming psychic or chasing signs. It is about remembering what your soul already knows and learning to listen to the quiet wisdom that has been guiding you all along.In This Episode:[00:00] Introduction[00:46] Understanding spirit guides[02:00] Myths and truths about spirit guides[03:28] How spirit guides communicate[11:52] Recognizing guidance through the body[15:08] The role of silence in guidance[16:48] Guidance during grief and trauma[19:03] The purpose of guides[20:43] Guidance and life's momentum[21:08] Understanding guidance and integrity[22:00] Recognizing and trusting your inner voice[22:16] The role of fear in blocking guidance[22:40] The mind vs. the soul[23:46] Guidance through erosion and discomfort[25:18] The importance of timing and boundaries[26:40] Emotional reactions and recognition[27:24] Disruption of habits and growth[29:17] Dreams as a communication tool[29:58] Curiosity and exploration[30:42] Exhaustion and alignment[31:25] Guides and the truth of your path[32:50] Integration and embodiment of guidance[34:00] The role of spirit guides in your life[40:48] Final thoughtsNotable Quotes[03:08] “Guides don't shout, they signal.”[05:06] “Your guides don't leave during grief. They move closer.”[10:58] “Guidance is efficient. It's not theatrical.”[15:41] “Silence usually means integration is required… It shifts authority from external reassurance to internal stability.”[16:53] “In grief, communication often becomes more physical and emotional rather than verbal.”[19:58] “Fear is never the voice of a guide. Urgency, shame, pressure, these are not guidance.”[22:00] “Most people are already hearing their guides and calling it something else: intuition, gut instinct, coincidence, luck.”[31:33] “Guides do not communicate to make your life easier. They communicate to make it truer.”[33:29] “Guides communicate until you no longer need to be convinced that you are guided.”[40:51] “Spirit guides are not here to tell you who to be. They're here to remind you who you already are.”Susan GrauSusan Grau is an internationally celebrated intuitive life coach, a key opinion leader, author, medium and speaker, who discovered her ability to communicate with the spirit world after a near-death experience at age four.

High performers often feel unsettled when pressure fades and success feels quiet. This episode explores why that moment isn't loss or burnout—but identity-level recalibration—and how to trust the steadiness that follows performance.There's a moment many high-capacity humans are never warned about.It's the moment when the pressure finally eases.When striving quiets.When life looks stable, successful, even enviable from the outside—yet internally, something feels unexpectedly calm… almost too calm.And instead of relief, a question surfaces:Why doesn't this feel bigger than I thought it would?In this opening episode of Week 12 of Season Three, we explore the subtle, often misunderstood transition that happens when identity-level recalibration begins to stabilize. This isn't burnout. It's not disengagement. And it's not a loss of ambition.It's integration.High performers are conditioned to equate intensity with importance and pressure with purpose. So when urgency drops out of the system, the nervous system starts scanning for danger. But what if nothing went wrong?What if the quiet is evidence that something foundational has already shifted?This episode introduces the final week's theme—Living From Overflow—and helps orient you to where you actually are now. We explore how decision fatigue softens, how role confusion dissolves, and why success without constant pressure can feel unfamiliar before it feels safe.You'll learn why this phase often gets misinterpreted as losing your edge—and how Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) works differently than mindset tactics or performance strategies. ILR isn't about fixing behavior. It's the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective again by addressing identity, nervous system regulation, and internal orientation.This conversation speaks directly to those navigating:burnout recovery without collapsedecision fatigue after long-term leadershipsuccess that feels quieter than expectedidentity drift beneath high performancespiritual and emotional exhaustion masked as achievementToday's Micro RecalibrationAsk yourself—without effort or analysis:What feels easier now, without me trying to make it easier?Notice. That's enough. Integration happens through awareness, not force.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Donara Jaghinyan – Transformation and Integration Leader Donara Jaghinyan, returns for Part 2 of our conversation on what actually breaks integrations after the deal closes. This episode tackles the messy reality of post-merger execution: integration debt that piles up when long-tail items don't get done, change management as a practical framework (not corporate fluff), and the cultural friction that surfaces in cross-border deals. Donara shares firsthand experiences navigating gender-based hierarchy in Middle Eastern TSA negotiations, building trust across geographies, and managing the communication breakdowns that create employee uncertainty. If you missed Part 1, listen to that first—then come back for the operational realities that determine whether your deal actually delivers value. Things You'll Learn What integration debt actually is and why long-tail items get forgotten six months post-close without a formal tracking system Change management as a framework, not fluff—identifying friction points, enabling change agents, and communicating up to seven times before messages reach end users Cross-border cultural challenges that don't show up in diligence, including hierarchy-based decision-making and relationship-building strategies that work globally  _____________
