This week in the communal Schauer we're discussing the actual, neurological, downside of intentionally (not accidentally) misunderstanding others! Now I do want y'all to know that there is a difference between genuine debate and being an obtuse pr*ck, so please don't assume I'm saying “never disagree again.” You can understand (comprehend) someone but you do not have to validate their augment (apply positive or negative moral judgement) because those are two separate processes in the brain. Other than that, please enjoy this episode, have an amazing week, and I hope you feel *a moderate to intense* experience of delight with this new information! Please like and subscribe on YouTube, rate me five stars on Apple Podcasts and Spotify! I greatly appreciate it.

Well, there was no doubt who the most anticipated band was at Louder Than Life thanks to the Louder Than Life app. According to Blunt Magazine, over 21,000 people had added the band's Friday (Sept. 19) performance to their weekend Louder Than Life schedule ahead of the music weekend. By comparison, only 11,000 has scheduled themselves to see Slayer, 17,000 were up for Deftones and 17,000-plus were reminding themselves to check out Bring Me the Horizon. The band's set was pretty standard to what they have been playing at past shows. However, one interesting moment came during their final song of their 12-song performance. The Louder Than Life set reportedly was the first time lead singer Vessel had played guitar on "Thread the Needle."(Loudwire) Hosted by:Luke = https://bsky.app/profile/rockednet.bsky.socialAlex = https://bsky.app/profile/voiceofalex.bsky.socialRowan = https://bsky.app/profile/rowbuck01.bsky.social SLEEP TOKEN Crowd Surfers Intentionally Dropped | The Podcast That Rocked
A new report from Carrie Tait of the Globe and Mail seems to have thrown their own source under the bus by publishing documents that deal with attorney client privilege, only there does not seem to be a public interest in disclosing these documents. By cherry-picking the BLG report, The Globe continues to provide slanted reporting, rather than disclosing the whole truth of the AHS Procurement scandal. Learn more about your ad choices.

Empowered Relationship Podcast: Your Relationship Resource And Guide
Money may not buy happiness, but the tension between enjoying life today and securing a stable future can leave many couples feeling stuck, anxious, or even at odds with each other. Are you and your partner finding it difficult to strike a balance between living for the moment and building a financially secure tomorrow? Navigating finances together can bring up deep-seated fears, old money stories, and conflicting priorities—making it a journey that's as emotional as it is practical. In this episode, you'll discover how couples can open up the conversation about money in a way that's thoughtful, honest, and constructive. Through real-life examples and expert strategies, you'll learn how to identify and communicate your financial values, create a flexible plan that adapts to life's twists and turns, and build habits that support both today's joy and tomorrow's security. Whether you're saving every penny out of fear or struggling to rein in your spending, this conversation offers actionable tools to help you play the right "money game" together—and come out stronger as a couple. Eric Roberge, CFP, is the CEO and lead advisor at Beyond Your Hammock, a financial planning firm based in Boston that serves professional couples in their 30s and 40s with young families. His business partner and wife, Kali Roberge, serves as COO of BYH. Eric & Kali understand the challenges of financial planning around families and children because, as parents of a three-year-old, they're in the trenches and well-versed in what it takes to build a financial plan that serves every member of the family. Eric and Kali live with their daughter and two cats in Cambridge, Mass. Check out the transcript of this episode on Dr. Jessica Higgin's website. Episode Highlights 04:12 How Eric & Kali built a marriage and business partnership. 08:54 The struggles of balancing love, work, and parenthood with the same partner. 11:22 How to start honest money conversations with your partner. 13:08 What money arguments reveal about communication styles. 18:11 How childhood shapes our money mindset. 21:18 Redefining “enough” and moving beyond scarcity. 24:38 Simple saving targets without guilt or judgment. 26:02 Planning with flexibility so life's surprises don't derail you. 29:56 Why your financial map should keep evolving. 33:51 Systems over stress: Using money rules and systems to create freedom, not restriction. 36:37 Defining the money game you want to play. 40:33 How to nurture your plan, find the right guides, and stay the course. Your Check List of Actions to Take Take a moment to pause, breathe, and check in with your body and emotions before starting any money conversation with your partner. Together, review your current finances—assets, liabilities, cash flow—without judgment, to see where you stand right now. Have open conversations about what matters most to each of you, both in daily life and in the future, to uncover shared values and goals. Reflect on and share your individual “money scripts” or early financial beliefs, and notice how these influence your current behaviors and stressors. Clearly specify what “enough” looks like for your family, so you have a concrete target for saving and spending. Create simple guidelines (like saving 25% of your income) to automate good habits and reduce emotional spending decisions. Revisit your financial plan regularly to adjust for life changes, ensuring your approach evolves with your circumstances and goals. Intentionally set times to have financial discussions as a couple, even when life gets busy, so things don't build up or get avoided.

In this episode, Tina Tower dives deep into her personal strategies for achieving maximum productivity while avoiding burnout. She discusses the weekly work structure that allows her to build a thriving business, maintain flexibility and freedom, and keep her creativity and energy levels high. Tina shares her tried-and-tested scheduling methods, the importance of batching tasks, planning for white space and recovery, and how she protects her time, energy, and creative flow. Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or just starting out, Tina's insights will help you design a balanced, productive week that works for you and your lifestyle. Resources: Join Her Empire Builder: https://www.herempirebuilder.com/join Tina Tower Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tina_tower Monday.com: https://try.monday.com/tinatower88 Key Topics Covered Setting your week up for success: Structure your week around your energy and creativity levels—Tina uses Mondays for content creation, Tuesdays for calls and people-focused tasks, Wednesdays for deep work, Thursdays for catch-up and miscellaneous tasks, and Fridays for rest and recovery. Batching similar tasks: Grouping similar activities together minimizes mental switching, increases focus, and helps you get into a productive flow state. Boundaries and expectations: Set clear expectations with your team and clients about when you're available, and protect your time fiercely to avoid burnout. Planning downtime: Intentionally schedule rest and recovery, including extended breaks—Tina takes off the third week of every month unscheduled, as well as four weeks off at Christmas and other holidays throughout the year. Working with your energy: Pay attention to your own energy cycles, and don't push yourself past your limit. Build a schedule that is structured but still flexible enough for “life to happen.” Using the right tools: Tina uses tools like Monday.com for task management and relies on simple pen-and-paper for quick idea capture during flow states. Personalization is key: Your ideal productivity schedule will look different based on your stage of life and personal values—don't compare your calendar to anyone else's. Recovery after big pushes: Build in time for recovery after major launches, conferences, or work peaks, rather than jumping right back into intense work. As we close, Tina reminds us that true productivity comes from working with your energy and priorities, not just doing more. By batching tasks, setting boundaries, and planning real downtime, you can build a business that grows without burning out. Take what fits, make it your own, and design a rhythm that supports both success and balance.

In this episode, Scott and Dan sit riverside in Edmonton's fall colors to tackle some big and timely issues. After scrapping a first attempt (because they realized they were “grossly wrong” on a key point), the brothers return with a candid conversation that blends politics, education, policing, and a call for compassion. Topics Covered Alberta Teacher Strike Why teachers are without a contract and heading toward a strike. Class sizes, class complexity, and the wage gap. How underfunding impacts not just teachers, but kids, families, and long-term social outcomes. Personal stories from inside the education sector and why being “pro-teacher” matters. Book Bans in Alberta From The Handmaid's Tale to 1984: why banning books is never just about books. The slippery slope of censorship and distractions from real educational issues. Gun Buybacks in Canada Evidence from around the world: why buybacks don't reduce crime. The problem of performative politics vs. evidence-based policing. New Edmonton Police Chief The appointment of Warren Dreichel. Mental health and wellness in policing—why it matters more than ever. The importance of second chances and leadership rooted in lived experience. Truth and Reconciliation Day Beyond checkboxes and land acknowledgments. Walking daily with Indigenous peoples in a spirit of love and compassion. Key Takeaways Education is the strongest crime prevention tool we have. Teachers are not babysitters—they're professionals shaping the future. Political parties on both sides have failed educators, and it's time for accountability. Performative policies, whether book bans or gun buybacks, don't solve real problems. Compassion—in classrooms, police services, and communities—has to be our starting point. Closing Thought “Truth and Reconciliation isn't a day—it's how we live, walk, and honor history every single day.”

Get ready for God to do a new thing in your life! Do not fear your capacity being stretched. Harness your focus to cultivate a mindset centered on Christ. Intentionally align your thoughts with principles in the Word, prioritize your spiritual growth [pray and read/study the Word], and strive to reflect what He reveals to you to others. Don't allow laziness to creep in. God provides what we need to be more like him – to be Christlike – but we must ongoingly and actively work to become it. This is not a passive process.

"You'll change your mind when you're older""Who will take care of you when you're older?""Not wanting kids is selfish"If you are also intentionally childfree, I know you've heard all of these not-so-subtle criticisms and digs. Society really hates a woman who doesn't want children, unfortunately. I don't have kids and don't have plans to have kids at this time, and I frequently get hate comments when I discuss it online. So I'm discussing it again!!! Because not wanting children is perfectly normal and more women should feel comfortable talking about it.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Andrea Wilson Woods, President & Founder, Blue Faery. She highlights how she transformed early hardship, loss, and fierce protectiveness into founding Blue Faery, a nonprofit dedicated to liver cancer advocacy, while sharing lessons on empathy, resilience, and finding joy amidst adversity. In today's episode, we discuss: Recognize the power of role models in shaping your identity. Reflect on who inspired you in childhood (real or fictional) and what qualities you admired. Consciously apply those traits—such as resilience, strength, or compassion—in your daily decisions and relationships, just as Andrea channeled Wonder Woman's fierceness and protectiveness throughout her life. Practice “detachment with empathy.” If you work or volunteer in caregiving or helping professions, learn to care deeply without carrying every burden as your own. Create emotional boundaries so you can keep showing up with compassion, just as Andrea does, without risking burnout. Use counseling, mindfulness, or peer support to reinforce this practice. Intentionally cultivate moments of joy and humor, even during tough times. Look for lightness: share a joke with loved ones, recall funny memories, or build small rituals that make you smile. “Joy is a resilient muscle, strengthening it will give you balance and energy to keep going.” Separate your self-worth from your achievements. Reflect on how your roles (career, family, volunteer, etc.) do not define your value. Develop interests and relationships untethered to performance, and give yourself grace in moments of transition—embrace who you are, not just what you do. Join or build supportive communities. If you or someone you know is affected by a particular challenge (like liver cancer), seek out or help create organizations and groups that provide understanding and resources—there's power in connection and shared experience. RESOURCES: Guest Bio Andrea Wilson Woods is a keynote speaker, a writer who loves to tell stories, and a patient advocate who founded the nonprofit Blue Faery: The Adrienne Wilson Liver Cancer Association.

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
In this powerful episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I sit down with Rock Thomas—entrepreneur, bestselling author, and founder of the I Am Movement—to explore what it truly means to break free from limiting beliefs and take ownership of your life. Rock shares his journey from humble beginnings on a farm to building multiple successful businesses, and he unpacks the mindset shifts that helped him rise above struggle and design a life of purpose. We dive into how the words you speak shape your identity, the importance of surrounding yourself with the right influences, and why most men never reach their full potential. Rock also shares practical strategies for fathers to model growth, resilience, and confidence for their children. If you've ever felt stuck, defined by your past, or unsure of your next step, this conversation will challenge you to rewrite your story and live with intention. TIMELINE SUMMARY [0:00] - Welcome and introduction to Rock Thomas and the I Am Movement [3:08] - Growing up on a farm and the lessons of early hardship [7:15] - How childhood experiences shaped Rock's drive and identity [10:42] - Breaking free from the labels others put on you [14:20] - Why the words you use about yourself matter [18:55] - The turning point that shifted Rock's life trajectory [23:11] - The mentors who changed his mindset and path [27:36] - Building wealth without losing yourself in the process [31:48] - Why environment and community shape who you become [36:29] - The importance of modeling resilience for your kids [41:03] - Rock's strategies for reframing failure into fuel [45:17] - How to stop living by default and start living by design [50:42] - Parenting lessons: teaching kids ownership and responsibility [54:33] - Daily rituals and practices that keep Rock grounded [59:15] - The power of declaring “I Am” statements for identity [1:03:22] - Final reflections on building a life of purpose and growth 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Your Words Shape Your World The labels and stories you tell yourself directly influence your identity. Shifting your “I am” statements can transform your confidence, actions, and results. 2. Mentorship Accelerates Growth The right mentors can help you break through limitations and see possibilities you couldn't on your own. Who you learn from shapes who you become. 3. Environment Drives Identity The people you surround yourself with will either elevate you or keep you stuck. Community matters as much as personal discipline. 4. Failure Is Feedback Instead of avoiding mistakes, Rock reframes failure as fuel for growth. Every setback is a stepping stone to greater resilience and wisdom. 5. Parenting Is About Modeling Your children are watching how you live, not just what you say. Modeling ownership, resilience, and intentional living teaches them how to thrive.

If you boil it down to its essence, it's simply about what's true and right about the country versus the dystopian vision ushered in under the Obama era. As President Trump tries to break up corrupt money in NGOs, seal the border, secure elections, and make city streets safer for all Americans while attempting to reverse course on the economy - it's a big job. But what he's trying to fix was broken. Intentionally. And it's a tough fact we must face. Guy Ciarocci has written a smart column called "The 7 Deadly Sins of the Left" and it's a helpful breakdown of how the country got into such a mess. More shocking proof has dropped from DNI Tulsi Gabbard that Obama and his executive branch agencies were proof-positive clouding to push a false story to topple Trump. What will come of the Trump/Putin summit tomorrow and what is fostering the anti-Israel chorus amongst some conservatives? Stigall asked former Trump National Security team member Victoria Coates. Plus, you'll meet the coolest new guest we've welcomed in a while.

In this episode, we take a look back at our high school years and share parts of our story that shaped us. We talk about the importance of being intentional with the teens in our lives and how much it would've meant if someone had done that for us. Whether you're mentoring, parenting, or just loving on teens, this one's for you.
If writers don't consume stories with intention, who will? Here are 7 mindful habits to read more intentionally and get more from stories.
On today's episode, I unpack my personal experience between dating in New York vs. London and how British men have been a whole new vibe for my healed, golden-era self. We talk intentional love, love bombing, faith, and what it really means to be seen for who you are versus what you do. I also reflect on the signs that someone isn't right for you and how to trust your intuition the first time.
