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.

What if your next reset wasn't another plan… another strategy… or another thing to fix yourself? What if it was a place where you could finally stop performing and actually do the deep work? In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm sitting down with Lana and Mark Royce, the husband-and-wife duo behind BlissTopia Retreats in Arizona and this conversation is special. I recently attended their Heal Your Heart retreat, and honestly… it rocked me in the best way! This isn't one of those fluffy retreats where you relax for a weekend and come home unchanged. BlissTopia is intimate, grounded, and designed for real healing - nervous system regulation, breathwork, embodiment, and genuine human connection. Lana brings decades of experience as a psychotherapist, yoga teacher, former doula, and healer trained in hypnotherapy, reiki, meditation, and sound healing. Mark brings a grounded, no-BS approach through breathwork, movement, and embodiment that gets you out of your head and back into your body!

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.

Scale can provide a competitive advantage. Yet there might be scenarios in which bigger isn't always better. How to Set Up Your Business to Maximize Enterprise Value Jason and Louis Diamond explore strategies for maximizing enterprise value, whether or not an advisor plans to move. Learn actionable insights, key business practices, short-term vs. long-term tactics, and real-world examples. IBD vs. RIA – Which Model Fits Your Future This guide offers a clear, side-by-side view of the two models—including distinctions between the DIY route of building an RIA from scratch and opting for a supportive independence platform to help align your business goals with greater options and opportunities.

He worked as a CPA performing audits, preparing tax returns, and providing back-office services for numerous hedge funds. In 1999, he joined a large family investment office, becoming part of the team that managed the family's substantial investments. During this time, he also served as CFO of the family's worldwide water conservation company, which operated in more than 22 countries, and later provided financial oversight as controller for a multi-billion-dollar Los Angeles–based hedge fund. In addition to his executive and investment responsibilities, Jason is deeply committed to shaping Lido's culture. He takes an active mentorship role within the firm, fostering an environment rooted in progression, excellence, and integrity. Also available on your favorite podcast app and other media sites

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

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. Trained by Dr. Raymond Moody, James Van Praagh, and Lisa Williams, Susan is a Reiki Master, hypnotherapist, and grief therapist.

It started with a simple idea from James Tyack: “What if we hosted a hackathon at ELC Annual?” The result was a unique experiment where 14 senior engineering leaders stepped away from strategy to build and ship functioning apps in one weekend, unlocking new insights on AI-native workflows, "vibe coding," and the future of engineering. In this episode, we deconstruct the entire hackathon operational playbook, sharing lessons on everything from “best failure awards” and async collaboration structures to structuring ideation periods for maximum business alignment. Beyond the logistics, we explore how getting hands-on helped these leaders overcome imposter syndrome and why "rolling up your sleeves" is now a prerequisite for leading effective engineering teams. Plus, James shares how he plans to evolve the hackathon format at ELC and beyond. If you've been curious about leveraging hackathons to drive innovation, expose your team to new tools, or evolve how your org builds, this episode provides the blueprint for successful implementation. ABOUT JAMES TYACKJames is an engineering manager with a passion for people, technology, and learning. He's built and led distributed, diverse teams of engineers across locations and timezones for 10 years.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Hungarian political director Balázs Orbán for an in-depth conversation on nationalism, migration, the European Union, and the war in Ukraine.We discuss Hungary's vision of an emerging era of nations, the collapse of the liberal global order, and why national sovereignty has returned as the central political question of the twenty-first century. Orbán explains Hungary's historical experience, its defence of Christian culture, and why mass migration has been rejected as a threat to social cohesion and national survival.The conversation explores Europe's migration crisis, parallel societies, border control, deportation, and why Hungary believes Western Europe made irreversible mistakes. We also examine the growing backlash against Brussels, the democratic deficit within the European Union, and why Hungary sees itself as leading a continental revolt against supranational elites.We then turn to Ukraine, Russia, and the future of European security. Orbán argues that the war has become a NATO-Russia proxy conflict, criticises European leaders for pursuing escalation, and explains why Hungary believes that both sides are lying.A wide-ranging and controversial conversation about power, sovereignty, war, and whether Europe can still reclaim democratic legitimacy in a rapidly changing world.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 0:00 Introduction 2:04 Era of the Nations and European Politics7:14 Hungary's Geopolitical Position and Historical Context14:28 Migration and Integration in Europe25:29 Radical Islam and Antifa in Hungary29:55 Hungary's Relationship with the EU and NATO 36:18 The Ukraine-Russia Conflict and Peace Efforts45:57 Hungary's View on Putin's Ambitions52:18 Hungary's NATO Membership and Military Presence59:21 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

This week, Jack Sharry talks with Arthur Worthington, Managing Director of Strategic Business Development & Integration at SEI. With more than a decade of experience working directly with financial advisors, Arthur brings a rare blend of investment, technology, operations, and distribution expertise. In his current role, he leads the integration of major acquisitions—including LifeYield and Stratos—focused on helping wealth management firms scale, improve after-tax outcomes, and move from account-level to household-level implementation. Jack and Arthur examine why organic growth remains elusive for most wealth management firms—even amid the largest wealth transfer in history. Arthur explains how household-level investing, asset location, and tax-aware withdrawals can unlock meaningful after-tax value for clients while driving retention, consolidation, and enterprise growth for firms. They explore the rising complexity of advice, the shrinking supply of advisors, and why scalable infrastructure—not just AI—will define the next generation of successful advisory businesses. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (02:03) - Arthur's role at SEI and building the platform of the future (03:22) - Why organic growth is so hard for most advisory firms (08:28) – The rising complexity of advice and what the future demands (10:33) – Turning tax management into a true competitive advantage (13:34) – How tax-smart investing can dramatically increase retirement income (15:48) – Using asset location to drive consolidation and organic growth (17:31) – Creating billions in enterprise value through smarter withdrawals (22:58) – Scaling advisory businesses without forcing a one-size-fits-all model (26:18) - Arthur's key takeaways (28:11) - Arthur's interests outside of work Quotes "Today, firms create and build technology infrastructure and then integrate those pieces one-to-one. The future is creating a unified data structure where organic agentic workflows that dynamically move data create real scale." ~ Arthur Worthington "Investing in the future is about creating outcomes at three different levels: how do we create a better experience for the investor with a better after-tax return, how do we create more scaled solutions, and how can we create more enterprise value." ~ Arthur Worthington "Financial planning is a huge part of the industry. Leaning into tax management as a differentiator is a durable way to differentiate their service in the market." ~ Arthur Worthington Links  Arthur Worthington on LinkedIn SEI Stratos Wealth Vanguard Amy Young Connect with our hosts LifeYield Jack Sharry on LinkedIn Jack Sharry on Twitter Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify LinkedIn Twitter Facebook

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.

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.

In this Sunday Solo, Sarah explores a surprisingly common pattern: chasing spiritual highs—those goosebump moments, wild signs, mind-blowing readings, and peak metaphysical experiences—and how that chase can actually pull you out of connection. If you've ever received a powerful sign and immediately asked for “one more,” or booked reading after reading hoping to recreate the same wow factor, this episode is your gentle reset. Sarah shares a profound divine-feminine encounter that shifted her relationship with fear, surrender, and self-talk, plus a Stonehenge story that reframes spirituality as creation and integration, not constant fireworks. The through-line: the point isn't how high you can go in a moment—it's how you let the moment reshape the way you grieve, love, and live. What You'll Learn / Key Takeaways Spiritual FOMO is a thing. Wanting “proof” can quickly become bargaining, doubt, and hustling for the next hit of magic. Chasing pulls you out of connection. The more you demand replication, the harder it can be to receive what's quietly here now. Integration is the upgrade. The real gift of a spiritual high is how it changes your everyday choices, self-talk, and capacity. Surrender is often the doorway. “Turning points” tend to arrive when you soften fear and allow the experience to move through you. Readings can comfort—but they aren't a cure for grief. Mediumship can offer evidence and love, while grief still needs time, support, and gentleness. Don't recreate old magic—be available for new magic. Your guides (and life) may be inviting you to build something new, not relive what was. Relish the good the way you “lock in” the bad. Take a snapshot of the beautiful moments—let them soak into your being so you can return to the feeling without chasing repetition. Space creates capacity. Simple practices (meditation, reducing numbing behaviors, slowing the scroll, easing codependent “rescue” habits) can widen the channel. You don't have to “try” to be spiritual. You're already spirit—whole, complete—and connection often deepens when you stop striving. “The point isn't how high we can go in that moment… it's how we let it reshape the way we live.” “We don't have to try to be spiritual. Everyone is spiritual by nature. We are spirit.” “Coming online… has to happen at a pace that actually lets us live it—where we can integrate it.” Join us on Substack for The Afterlife—bonus clips after the “mic is off” (wink).

Who's more important? The operators on the ground or the aviators in the sky? It's hard to seize the objective without boots on the ground; but if you can't get to the objective in the first place, there's no mission at all.The reality is that operators need aviators and aviators need operators. Green Berets and the pilots of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment share bonds that transcend their MOS and their mobility platform. Live from the 2nd Annual Stars and Stripes Classic, I sat down with Chairman of the Green Beret Foundation retired Lieutenant General Ken Tovo and Chief Warrant Officer Sean McCormick to talk about what it takes to build true interoperability between air and ground units, and why there is no such term as “more important.”Chief McCormick served as a lead pilot in the 160th SOAR after a career in 75th Ranger Regiment; he also served as General Tovo's pilot while the General was the USASOC Commander. Their partnership and friendship provides a rare perspective on the leadership, trust, and relentless commitment that define Special Operations. Together, they shared how those experiences shaped their understanding of teamwork, mission focus, and the ability to take on any challenge. They also share an unknown secret about GBF's upcoming POW/MIA recovery missions with Project Recover.The Stars and Stripes Classic is more than a lacrosse game. It's a moment to honor the warriors who always step forward, the families who support them, and the community that preserves their legacy through the Green Beret and Navy SEAL Foundations. Special thanks to the Premier Lacrosse League for hosting another thrilling game.

In this episode of The Observatory Podcast, hosts Scott and LaRae Wright sit down with Bobby Ahlander for an expansive and deeply human conversation about suffering, healing, and what it means to truly come home to yourself. Bobby shares his journey growing up in a rigid religious environment marked by instability and fear, living much of his adult life on “autopilot,” and eventually reaching a breaking point that included leaving the Church, divorce, job loss, and a prolonged season of depression with suicidal ideation.Through therapy, psychiatry, EMDR, Buddhist study, and eventually plant medicine, Bobby describes the slow and nonlinear rebuilding of his inner world. He introduces a personal “numbers” framework that helped him track emotional states — from survival, to “fine,” to happiness, joy, bliss, and ultimately a state he later names cosmic union. At the heart of this conversation is the embodied realization that arrived not through force or fixing, but through surrender: peace feels good.Timestamps [01:10] Introducing Bobby Ahlander and the theme “peace feels good”[04:05] Childhood in a conservative religious home marked by instability[08:45] Learning invisibility, safety, and survival as a child[14:55] Living adulthood on “autopilot” and inherited identity scripts[20:15] Becoming a bishop and the weight of enforcing institutional rules[25:35] LGBTQ+ policy conflict and values colliding with authority[31:50] Leaving the Church, divorce, and relocation all at once[36:40] Wiping the slate clean and questioning every belief[41:05] First acts of autonomy and reclaiming personal choice[46:00] Discovering Buddhism and non-dual thinking[51:40] First psilocybin experience and expanded awareness[58:45] COVID, job loss, unhealthy relationship, and emotional collapse[01:05:40] Suicidal ideation and surviving for his children[01:12:30] Therapy, medication, and the “numbers” emotional scale[01:20:10] Ayahuasca: opening a door that never closes[01:27:30] Integration, healing, and learning to live at “fine”[01:33:40] Oregon coast turning point and happiness returning[01:38:10] Discovering joy, bliss, and something beyond the scale[01:41:00] Embodied peace, “peace feels good,” and what comes next[01:41:58] Closing message and listener invitationNotable Quotes“You have just opened a door that can never close again.” — Scott Webb (quoted by Bobby Ahlander) [00:36:08]“I don't want to die, but I don't want to be alive.” — Bobby Ahlander [00:31:58]“The whole choice to awake puts you on a path.” — Scott Wright [01:13:33]“So we honor you for being there and being able to express that.” — LaRae Wright [01:29:42]“The cost of the new is the old.” — Scott Wright [01:32:36]“Turbulence is just a reminder you're flying.” — Bobby Ahlander [01:34:42]“You will continue to suffer until you've learned the lesson that the suffering is trying to teach you.” — Bobby Ahlander [01:38:18]“This is peace.” — Bobby Ahlander [01:23:57]“Peace feels good.” — Bobby Ahlander [01:25:01]Relevant LinksBobby's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bobbyahlander/Subscribe to the podcast: Apple Podcasts

Actively manage site speed through optimized hosting, a Content Delivery Network (CDN), and compressed media files.Dominate Your Geographic Area: For businesses serving specific areas, embedding location data (maps, zip codes, city names) directly into your site is crucial for capturing "near me"searches.Integrate to Accelerate: Directly connect your website to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools and manually submit new content to get indexed significantly faster than waiting for organic crawls.Detailed Show Notes & Timestamps[00:00:00] Introduction: Setting the Stage for 2026Host Favour Obasi-ike kicks off the new year by tackling the evergreen challenge of Search Engine Optimization. He frames "fixing" SEO not as a one-time task but as a continuous process of optimization that is fundamental to brand awareness, website traffic, and revenue growth. He provides an initial call to action, directing listeners to the link in the show description to book a consultation or subscribe to his email list for ongoing insights. With the stage set, the episode transitions into the first and most foundational technical fix for any small business website.[00:04:15] SEO Fix #1: Site Architecture - The Foundation of Your Digital PresenceSite architecture is the fundamental blueprint of a website, dictating how both users and search engine algorithms navigate, understand, and value its content. A strong architecture is the bedrockof any successful digital presence, ensuring content is organized, accessible, and easily discoverable.Key components of a robust site architecture include:Canonical Tags: A canonical tag tells search engines which version of a page is the "master copy," preventing duplicate content issues. As Favour Obasi-ike explains with the "Adam Apple"analogy, just as a person has one true name, your content must have one single, consistent identity recognized by search engines to avoid confusion.Image Optimization: Large, uncompressed image files are a primary cause of slow load times. Uploading images that are several megabytes in size will significantly degrade site performance and hurt search rankings.Link Health: Regularly checking for and fixing broken or duplicate links is essential for a clean and functional site structure.Website Updates: Using the "brushing your teeth" analogy, Favour Obasi-ike explains that keeping content and copyright dates current signals relevance. Search engines prioritize fresh, well-maintained content, and an outdated copyright date is a direct signal that a site may be abandoned or irrelevant.*Heading Tags (H1-H6):* Properly structured headings organize content for human readers and provide a clear hierarchy that helps search engines understand the main topics and subtopics of a page.URLs & Schema: Keyword-rich URLs (e.g., .../cookie-recipes) and schema markup (microdata for recipes, events, etc.) give search engines explicit context about a page's purpose, improving its chances of ranking for relevant queries.[00:14:30] Guest Spotlight: Celese Williams on Design, UX, and SEOGuest speaker Celese Williams distills her formula for a successful small business website into three core principles: simple design, easy user experience (UX), and findable SEO. She powerfully underscores this advice with her own success story, revealing that her "basic" but architecturally sound website generated $247,000 in revenue last year, proving that a solid foundation is more valuable than flashy design.With a solid architectural blueprint defined, the next strategic imperative is to establish realistic implementation timelines, which vary dramatically based on a business's starting point.[00:19:45] Strategy Session: SEO Timelines for New vs. Existing BusinessesDetermining a realistic timeline for SEO results is a common strategic challenge. The approach differs significantly for a business building its digital footprint from scratch versus one that is optimizing an existing but underperforming presence.Prospect ProfileProspect A: No online presence, thriving on referrals.6-12 Months: Building a digital foundation from the ground up requires significant time to establish authority, build content, and gain visibility. Favour Obasi-ike notes this timeline can be shortened to 3 months if a podcast is part of the strategy.Prospect B: Existing local presence, but not definitive.3-6 Months: Leveraging an existing foundation allows for a faster path to scalable results. The focus shifts from creation to optimization, building upon the authority the site already has.Celese Williams adds a critical counterpoint, emphasizing that industry competition is the ultimate "X factor" that can heavily influence any projected timeline. A business in a low-competition niche may see results faster, while one in a saturated market will face a longer road. From this high-level strategy, the focus shifts to the practical tactics of audience building across different platforms.[00:26:30] Community Q&A: Building a Social Media AudienceThis Q&A session addresses a common pain point for small businesses: how to efficiently build and maintain an audience across multiple social platforms without getting overwhelmed. The speakers offer a unified message centered on smart, focused distribution.Celese Williams' "Master a Few" Strategy:Trying to be on every platform is an unsustainable and difficult strategy.Businesses should focus on mastering the top 2-3 platforms where their target audience is most active and engaged.Dr. Fashion's "Smart Distribution" Method:She advocates for the "create once, distribute smartly" approach.This involves batch recording long-form content and using tools like repurpose.io to efficiently atomize and distribute it across various platforms, tailoring the hook for each audience.Favour Obasi-ike's "Ecosystem" Approach:He analyzes the importance of building a presence within a platform ecosystem like Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp).He highlights the power of using long-form content, such as a podcast, as a source for dozens of micro-content pieces (clips, quotes, articles), which dramatically improves searchability and reach.[00:39:00] Case Study: The Power of Organic Keyword GrowthFavour Obasi-ike presents his own podcast as a powerful case study on the long-term value of consistent, high-quality content. He illustrates its organic keyword growth over just three months:Top 3 Keywords: Grew from 85 on October 13th to 198 in January.Top 10 Keywords: Grew from 91 on October 13th to 245 in January.Top 50 Keywords: Grew from 469 on October 13th to 1,196 in January.Top 100 Keywords: Grew from 238 on October 13th to 627 in January.This tangible growth demonstrates how a steady stream of relevant content creates a compounding interest effect on search visibility. The discussion on content distribution logically pivots back to a core SEO technical fix: the links that tie all that content together.[00:41:10] SEO Fix #2: Web Links - The Pathways to ProfitabilityLinks are the nervous system of a website, creating pathways that guide both users and search engines to valuable content. They are the currency of the internet, signaling authority and relevance.Favour Obasi-ike outlines a simple yet powerful three-step strategy for link building:Identify Core Products/Services: Begin with a clear understanding of what you sell. This focus will guide your keyword and content strategy.Embed Keywords in URLs: Create descriptive, keyword-rich URLs for every page (e.g., velvet.com/red-velvet-cookies). Avoid using "stop words" (like for, the, a), as they add no contextual value for search engines and make URLs longer and less focused.Match Social Posts to Website Links: Implement a *"1-to-1 match"* strategy. For every social media post you create, ensure there is a corresponding article or landing page on your own website. This ensures you are building authority for your domain, not just for the social media platform.Celese Williams enthusiastically endorses this approach, noting that SEO agencies charge clients $1,000 on the low end, up to $20,000-$30,000 on the high end for this exact strategy. However, a perfectly linked site is useless if it's too slow to load. This brings us to the third critical fix: optimizing for pure speed, a non-negotiable factor for both user retention and rankings.[00:52:15] SEO Fix #3: Site Speed - Winning the Race for AttentionIn 2026, website speed is a make-or-break SEO factor. A slow website directly harms user experience, increases bounce rates, kills conversions, and leads to lower search rankings. Google prioritizes sites that provide a fast, seamless experience for its users.Key actions for improving site speed include:Identify Performance Bottlenecks: Use a tool like GTmetrix.com to analyze your website's performance and get a baseline score.Optimize Hosting: Invest in a high-performance hosting platform that can handle your traffic and content demands.Leverage a CDN: A Content Delivery Network (CDN) stores copies of your site in multiple geographic locations, serving content from the closest server to the user, which drastically improves loading times for a global audience.Compress Images: Use a tool like compressor.io to significantly reduce image file sizes without sacrificing visual quality. This is one of the most effective ways to boost speed.From the technical dimension of speed, the analysis moves to the equally important geographical aspect of location.[00:57:45] SEO Fix #4: Location - Dominating Your Local MarketSince the vast majority of online searches have local intent (e.g., "tacos near me"), it is strategically vital for businesses to clearly signal their service area to capture nearby customers. Location-based SEO is not just for brick-and-mortar stores; it's essential for any business serving a specific geographic region.Actionable strategies for location optimization include:Integrate Map Links: Embed Google Maps and Apple Maps links directly on your website to provide clear location signals and improve user experience.Connect to Google Business Profile: A complete, updated, and active Google Business Profile is the cornerstone of local SEO. Ensure it is linked directly to your main website.Focus on a Target Radius: Optimize your content and keywords for a specific 5-20 mile radius to serve the most relevant local audience and avoid competing on a national level unnecessarily.Celese Williams strongly reinforces this point, advising that local service-based businesses must "master their own backyard" before even considering expansion. This on-page focus on location provides a natural bridge to the final, technical step of integrating the site with search engines.[01:02:10] SEO Fix #5: Integrations & Setup - Connecting to the Digital EcosystemThe final critical fix involves technical integration. This is not just a one-time setup step but the official act of submitting your website to search engines, ensuring your content gets seen, crawled, and indexed in a timely manner.The essential integration process includes:Connect to Google Search Console: This is the primary and non-negotiable step for submitting your site to Google, monitoring performance, and identifying technical issues.Submit Your Sitemap: A sitemap (sitemap.xml) is a file that lists all the important pages on your website. Submitting it through Search Console is like handing Google a complete directory, ensuring it knows what to crawl.Integrate with Microsoft Bing: By importing your Google Search Console profile directly into Bing Webmaster Tools, you can easily gain visibility on the world's second-largest search engine.[01:06:15] The "Fast Pass" Technique: Manual IndexingRyan Dennis and Celese Williams highlight a powerful tactic for new content. By manually requesting indexing for a new page in Google Search Console, you can effectively get a "fast pass" that prompts Google to crawl it within hours or a day, rather than waiting weeks for an organic crawl. Favour Obasi-ike adds a key detail: Google allows a daily quota of 10 manual indexing requests per website. This tactical discussion sets up the final Q&A, shifting from established SEO practices to the emerging influence of AI.[01:08:30] Community Q&A: The Role of AI in Content CreationThe episode concludes with a forward-looking discussion on a pressing question for 2026: is using AI for content creation a viable SEO strategy or a potential pitfall? The consensus is that AI is a tool, not a replacement for human expertise and authenticity.The speakers offer nuanced perspectives:Favour Obasi-ike's "Personalized AI" Stance: AI-generated content is only effective when deeply infused with human elements: brand tone, personal stories, case studies, and unique media. AI should be used for leverage, but the final product must align with Google's quality principles.Celese Williams' "Cautious Tester" Approach: She advises that businesses with strong SEO have more to lose and should be wary of AI, while those starting from scratch could test it. She raises a critical question about how AI aligns with Google's ranking systems. In response, Favour Obasi-ike highlights that Google updated its E-A-T framework to E-E-A-T, adding a new "E" for Experience. This update reinforces the need for human-led content, as AI cannot generate genuine, first-hand experience—a critical ranking factor in 2026.The ultimate takeaway is that AI is a powerful assistant, but it must be used to enhance—not replace—the unique experience, expertise, and emotion that only a human can provide.[01:19:00] Final Thoughts & How to ConnectFavour Obasi-ike wraps up the episode by reiterating the five critical SEO fixes that can transform a small business's digital presence.

In this episode, Dr. Nestor Rodriguez joins Eric Malzone to unpack what the future of health, fitness, and medicine really looks like—and why the traditional healthcare model is falling short. Dr. Rodriguez shares the origin story of Carbon World Health, a fully integrated model that blends medical care, fitness, recovery, hormones, aesthetics, and longevity under one roof. Drawing from his background in emergency medicine, work with professional athletes, and experience inside broken hospital systems, he explains why we've normalized suboptimal health—and how data-driven, personalized care can change that. The conversation dives into hormones, labs, VO₂ max, recovery, peptides, telehealth, and why accountability matters more than any tool. They also explore the growing role of AI, the rise of longevity culture, and what true collaboration between the medical and fitness industries should look like moving forward.

If you were raised in a dysfunctional, toxic home, and you struggle today with codependency, self-worth, and relationships, it is easy to lose a sense of meaning and purpose in life. Childhood trauma arrests the mind in a state of hypervigilance, worry, and fear. And although that is not your fault, if this is your experience, until we stop, look within, and take the time to integrate the past with the now, our future becomes a copy of the past, like it or not.  There is great hope for the one willing to go within. Lisa A. Romano gently unpacks why so many of us feel stuck chasing something outside ourselves—while the real answer lives in the now. Through neuroscience, psychology, and spiritual wisdom, she shows how trauma wires the brain to equate authenticity with danger, creating the illusion of separation from your highest self— and how to integrate, regulate, and come home to who you truly are. You'll learn: • Why the brain's prediction machine keeps you looping old stories • How the ego clings to identities (both "I'm great" and "I'm broken") to feel safe • Using mindfulness & metacognition to quiet the default mode network • Practical ways to down-regulate the nervous system and end the inner war • The first veil to break: "I am separate from my true self" • How integration (not perfection) creates purpose, peace, and presence Chapters 00:00 Welcome – If meaning feels out of reach 02:12 Trauma, neurology & the illusion of self 06:45 The first veil: separation from the higher self 10:18 Why your brain resists authenticity (safety vs. unfamiliar) 14:30 Ego identities on both ends of the spectrum 18:40 Mindfulness, observer mode & metacognition 22:55 Integration over fragmentation: ending the inner war 27:40 Rewiring shame & reclaiming self-worth 32:10 Unity, love-consciousness & true purpose in the now 36:50 Your next steps + resources Take the next step Ready for a map to rewire your mind and reconnect to your true self? Join Lisa's 12 Week Breakthrough Program to heal at the subconscious level, regulate your nervous system, and integrate your higher self into daily life.

Donara Jaghinyan – Transformation and Integration Leader Donara joins us to pull back the curtain on why integrations break—and what it actually takes to make them work. With deep experience across healthcare, SaaS, professional services, and financial services in both public and PE-backed environments, Donara has led diligence, post-close integration, TSA execution, and enterprise system implementations. This episode tackles the hard truths about carve-outs, TSA management, day-one readiness, and the cross-functional dependencies that most teams miss until it's too late. If you've ever wondered why integration timelines slip or costs balloon, this conversation delivers the answers. Things you will learn: Why TSAs aren't contracts, they're projects with hard deadlines, cost escalations, and integration dependencies that functional teams consistently underestimate The hidden complexity of carve-outs and how scope, vendor negotiations, and people gaps create surprises even with solid diligence How Integration Management Offices (IMOs) orchestrate cross-functional dependencies that functional leads can't see  _____________

In today's Daily Shift, we pause to integrate the work that's been unfolding over the past several episodes. So often, healing is measured by speed or visible change — but real growth happens when awareness settles into the body. Integration doesn't look like constant movement or perfection. It shows up in small moments: pausing before reacting, choosing self-compassion over criticism, honoring boundaries, and responding with intention instead of habit. This episode is a reminder that noticing more doesn't mean you're going backward — it means your nervous system is learning a new way of being. In this episode, we explore: Why integration is a vital part of healing How slowing down supports nervous system regulation The difference between growth and pressure What it means to move forward with presence, not urgency A gentle reminder from today's shift: You're not behind You're learning to integrate awareness into daily life Real change takes root through presence Take a breath and allow this moment to land. There's nothing you need to catch up to.
