This episode is a true gem. Join in for a refreshing and life-giving conversation inspired by the Off-Broadway production, The Reservoir. I welcome playwright Jake Brasch and cast member Caroline Aaron for a thought-provoking discussion about art, science, mental health, relationships, and healing. Come hear the journey that brought Jake, Caroline, and so many others together for this poignant production that navigates through addiction recovery, dementia, and the ups and downs of family relationships across generations. You'll get an inside look into this riveting story that tackles the reality of life's challenges with a surprising mixture of deep reflection, humor and levity. In our conversation, we also delve into the process of creating a piece of art for live theater. We talk about the stages of writing in isolation, collaborating, and sometimes disagreeing with the cast members and designers, all to eventually create something beautiful together. Our guests generously share the lessons they've learned and the lessons they're still learning. We also take a step back to consider the gift of cultivating time and our need to fight against cancel culture. We talk openly about the importance of not forgetting the older members of our society, who too often become invisible. Roles even reverse at times, as our guests ask Dr. Addy his thoughts on memory, community, and truth-seeking, from a neuroscience perspective. A truly moving conversation.

Episode Notes First there's a lot of non-DS9 chat, sorry. Who Mourns for Morn: Quark has been holding Morn's seat via holo-Morn. But Morn has... died? The entire station shows up to his wake. Morn leaves everything to Quark, which is... nothing. Except for a painting of a matador. And a mud bath. And a naked woman. And a rumor of 1000 bricks of gold-pressed latinum. Quark gets threatened by the most Coen Brothers goons ever. Morn was... a prince? So many short cons. It's not latinum, it's just... worthless gold. Odo and Quark have boyfriend telepathy. One Little Ship: Time to do SCIENCE. Kira is genre aware and thinks it's hilarious to shrink members of the command crew. Nog covers for Worf. Intergenerational conflict among the JemHadar. Itty Bitty Photon Torpedoes. Maybe the Founders put a little too much Cardassian in the new Alphas. BabSpace9 is a production of the Okay, So network.

What if some of the grief you carry isn't entirely yours? In this episode we'll open what Francis Weller identified as the Fifth Gate of Grief: ancestral grief. We're talking about the unacknowledged, untended sorrows of those who came before us: lost languages, severed connections to land and ritual, collective traumas like war, displacement, and genocide. But we're also talking about the science; specifically, epigenetics and how it can help explain how those experiences literally get woven into our biology and passed down through generations, even when we don't know the stories. The good news? What gets passed down can also be healed. You don't have to carry rancid snacks in your backpack forever (you'll get that reference when you listen). And this gate, like all the others, ultimately opens into something more expansive — resilience, power, and the steady ground of equanimity. This episode is part of a 10-part series on grief.

Women over 40 are the most understudied population in modern medicine. In this powerful and overdue conversation, Darin sits down with Dr. Amy Shah to unpack the massive blind spots in women's health — from perimenopause and menopause to cortisol shifts, brain fog, gut bacteria collapse, muscle loss, and the social isolation epidemic affecting women in midlife. Dr. Shah reveals why hormone labs often don't tell the full story, why 95% of Americans are fiber deficient, how fermented foods regulate inflammation, and why morning sunlight may be one of the most powerful hormone resets available — and it's free. This episode is more than symptom management. It's a blueprint for reclaiming power during one of the most misunderstood transitions in a woman's life.     What You'll Learn Why women weren't required in medical research until 1993 How perimenopause is diagnosed by symptoms — not lab tests The hormonal cascade: hypothalamus → pituitary → ovaries → whole-body effects Why fiber is the missing hormone regulator The 30-30-3 framework: protein, fiber & fermented foods The estrobolome and how gut bacteria regulate estrogen Why cortisol sensitivity increases during perimenopause The circadian reset protocol: morning light & nighttime boundaries Why recovery becomes more important than high-intensity stress The female friendship effect & oxytocin biology Hormone therapy myths — and what the research actually shows Why menopause may actually be a leadership upgrade     Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome back Dr. Amy Shah 00:00:29 – Novelty, brain aging & why time "speeds up" 00:02:03 – The hormone cascade: hypothalamus, pituitary & endocrine signaling 00:03:39 – The most understudied population in medicine: women over 40 00:04:11 – Women excluded from research until 1993 00:05:06 – Ambien example: why women metabolize drugs differently 00:08:14 – Cultural silence around menopause 00:09:48 – Anxiety, palpitations, carpal tunnel: unrecognized hormone symptoms 00:11:17 – Gut-brain connection & why nutrition is medicine 00:15:11 – The 30-30-3 method explained 00:16:10 – Why fiber drops during perimenopause 00:17:23 – Simple fiber sources that extend longevity 00:19:00 – Fermented foods & lowering inflammation 00:21:01 – Why Americans lost fermented foods 00:22:26 – Circadian biology: every cell runs on light 00:23:46 – Morning sunlight & hormone regulation 00:26:25 – Late-night eating & insulin resistance 00:28:20 – Cortisol spikes in perimenopause 00:29:41 – Why high achievers crash in midlife 00:31:11 – Walking as cortisol-lowering exercise 00:32:24 – Why hormone labs don't show perimenopause 00:33:38 – Key symptoms: sleep, fat redistribution, brain fog 00:35:24 – The estrobolome: gut bacteria & estrogen recycling 00:36:30 – Gut bacteria change within three days 00:38:38 – Andropause vs menopause differences 00:41:21 – Hormone therapy: what's proven & what's misunderstood 00:44:53 – Peak bone & muscle before 30 00:46:02 – Exercise for longevity vs punishment 00:47:55 – The community & oxytocin effect 00:49:49 – Female friendship & cortisol reduction 00:52:18 – Intergenerational connection & health 00:57:05 – Gut bacteria & proximity effect 01:00:24 – The Grandmother Hypothesis 01:02:15 – Menopause as leadership evolution 01:04:28 – You can build muscle, brain & bone at any age 01:05:16 – Rewriting the narrative for women's health     Thank You to Our Sponsors Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Shakeology – Shakeology-All in One Nutrition: Get 15% off with code SUPERLIFE at Shakeology.com.

It's a biological transition that requires new inputs, more recovery, more fiber, more protein, more community, more light. When women understand what's happening inside their bodies, they stop thinking they're "falling apart", and start stepping into power.  

This week, Judaism Unbound is thrilled to feature the 3rd episode of Door to Door: A Pilgrimage Across Generations -- another podcast in Judaism Unbound's family of podcasts! ------------------------- Head to JudaismUnbound.com/classes to check out our up upcoming courses in the UnYeshiva! This time around we are offering courses on an Intro to Judaism (Judaism Inbound), the book of Genesis, the Magic & Medicine of Psalms, Jews and Revolution, and a Jewish embrace of Fatness! -------------------------- Door to Door is a deeply personal, five-part podcast series tracing one Jewish family's multigenerational pilgrimage from a once-lost home in Wachenbuchen, Germany, to the present-day echoes of inherited memory, trauma, and resilience. Told through archival recordings, family reflections, and emotional returns to ancestral ground, this podcast chronicles the survival of Simon—a Holocaust survivor taken to Buchenwald Concentration Camp during Kristallnacht—and the generations that followed him. It's a story shaped by suffering, but defined by rebuilding, remembrance, and an enduring commitment to legacy. Door to Door invites listeners to witness what it means to reclaim identity from the wreckage—and to carry forward the names, the stories, and the truths nearly erased. If you've ever felt the weight of inherited memory, or the pull to understand where you come from — subscribe to Door to Door wherever you get your podcasts. Let this be part of your story, too. We'd love to hear from you, so you can email us at miriam@judaismunbound.com or find us at: www.judaismunbound.com/door-to-door

What if the loss you're carrying doesn't have a name — no death, no disaster, just a quiet, persistent ache that something was always missing? In this episode of Joy Lab, we'll look at Gate Four of our grief series: What We Expected But Did Not Receive. Drawing from Francis Weller's The Wild Edge of Sorrow, we'll explore the grief that comes from never being fully welcomed, seen, or celebrated for exactly who you are — a loss so subtle it often masquerades as personal failure. This episode offers a deeply compassionate and scientifically grounded look at why so many of us feel vaguely unfulfilled and how we can actually do something about it. Spoiler: it starts with grieving what you were owed. This episode is part of a 10-part series on grief.

Presented by Karly Hampshire, MD; Natasha Sood, MD, MPH; and Bhargavi Chekuri, MD (Moderator)STFM Conference on Medical Student Education Closing Session | Sunday, February 1, 2026Climate change is the greatest health threat of the 21st century, yet medical education has been slow to prepare future physicians for its wide-ranging impacts on health systems and patient care. In this session, we spotlight the power of student-led innovation in advancing climate and health education through two globally recognized initiatives: the Planetary Health Report Card (PHRC) and Climate Resources for Health Education (CRHE). Both began as grassroots projects by medical students who identified gaps in their training and took action to fill them. PHRC now benchmarks health professional schools internationally on planetary health curriculum, research, and operations, while CRHE has developed a growing library of open-access teaching materials to equip faculty with ready-to-use climate and health resources.Through a panel discussion with the co-founders of PHRC and CRHE, participants will hear first-hand stories of how these initiatives were built, scaled, and sustained as international collaborations. Panelists will reflect on their “aha” moments, early challenges, and lessons learned in fostering inter-institutional collaboration, leveraging mentorship, and bridging the gap between education and clinical practice. As both panelists now train as residents, they will also share how their perspectives on climate and health education have evolved with greater exposure to patient care and health systems.This session will equip educators, learners, and leaders with practical insights on cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset, leveraging collaboration, and supporting the next generation of change agents in climate and health education.Learning ObjectivesUpon completion of this session, participants should be able to:Describe how trainee-led initiatives have advanced climate and health integration in medical education worldwide.Identify strategies for fostering collaboration, mentorship, and sustainability in grassroots educational innovations.Apply lessons from student innovators to support the development of new climate and health education efforts at their own institutions. Copyright © Society of Teachers of Family Medicine, 2026Karly Hampshire, MDKarly Hampshire is an internal medicine resident at Columbia University pursuing a career at the intersection of medical education, climate change, and health. As a medical student at University of California San Francisco, Karly founded the Planetary Health Report Card Initiative, a student-led, metric-based initiative to evaluate and inspire planetary health engagement at health professional schools worldwide, now active in over 180 health professional schools in 10 disciplines in 21 countries. She was also awarded the Emerging Physician Leader Award from Health Care without Harm for her Interview without Harm Initiative, an advocacy, research, and educational campaign urging decisionmakers to prioritize sustainability and equity in evolving decisions about the future of medical training interviews post-COVID.

We're diving deep into Francis Weller's third gate of grief: the sorrows of the world. This gate reminds us that collective losses like wars, violence, injustice, and environmental destruction impact us whether we acknowledge them or not. We are interdependent beings, wired for connection, and when we try to shut down our caring to protect ourselves, we sacrifice our capacity for joy, flexibility, and resilience. The challenge is to trust our intuitive drive to care and connect, even when it feels uncomfortable. We'll offer some practical strategies to meet that challenge and to help you stay open to collective grief without being overwhelmed by it. CONTENT WARNING: This episode discusses gun violence.

hThis powerful episode dives into how a mother's own childhood trauma can quietly shape the emotional lives of her children – and how that cycle can be broken. Drawing on a rare 12‑year study of around 300 mostly Black, highly disadvantaged families in the US Midwest, Dr Meeyoung Min unpacks how her team followed mothers and babies from birth through early adolescence to understand what really drives later mental health.​Far from blaming mothers, the episode situates these risks in a wider context of poverty, limited opportunity, and unresolved trauma, and leans into hope rather than inevitability. Dr Min makes a compelling case for pregnancy and the early postnatal period as a “golden window” for support – from practical help and non‑judgemental social networks to community and faith groups that wrap around both parent and child – showing that with the right support, intergenerational patterns of harm can be disrupted and futures can be changed.The conversation reveals two major pathways: first, mothers who experienced more childhood maltreatment tend to struggle more with their own mental health, making it harder to stay emotionally available, regulate feelings, and use calm, consistent parenting – all of which is linked to greater anxiety, low mood, and acting‑out behaviours in their 12‑year‑olds. Second, prenatal exposure to substances such as cocaine, alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana appears to alter developing brain systems involved in stress, independently increasing the risk of externalising behaviour.​You can read the main JCPP paper discussed in this episode, “Intergenerational transmission of maternal childhood maltreatment, prenatal substance exposure, and internalizing and externalizing symptoms in early adolescence at age 12” via https://doi.org/10.1111/jcpp.70030Get  a free CPD/CME certificate for listening to this podcast by registering for a FREE ACAMH Learn account at https://www.acamhlearn.orgVisit https://www.acamh.orgFacebook and LinkedIn search / ACAMH Instagram https://www.instagram.com/assoc.camhBluesky https://bsky.app/profile/acamh.bsky.socialX https://x.com/acamh

Jason Seeman, founder of Raising Fathers, joins Steve Hodgson on The Noise of Life Podcast to explore modern fatherhood, conscious parenting and what it truly means to become a father in today's world. Not just biologically, but emotionally. Not just as a financial provider, but as a regulated, self-aware, emotionally intelligent man.In this powerful conversation on fatherhood and masculinity, we unpack the transition from boy to man and from man to father - two rites of passage many men were never guided through. Jason reflects on the generational models of masculinity many of us inherited: fathers who were loving yet emotionally guarded, men shaped by war, survival, responsibility and silence. We explore how unresolved childhood experiences, generational trauma and emotional suppression quietly echo through families unless consciously interrupted.This episode dives deep into emotional intelligence in parenting as a daily practice - not theory. We discuss emotional regulation, anger management, repair after conflict and how a father's tone, presence and reactions shape a child's nervous system and sense of safety. Jason shares a powerful reframe around discipline and parenting styles, explaining why fear-based compliance may change behaviour short-term but can impact confidence and emotional security long-term.We also explore modern relationships and marriage dynamics - including cognitive load imbalance, communication breakdown, partnership conflict and rebuilding intimacy with intention. Practical tools such as structured relationship check-ins, emotional awareness practices, and conscious communication strategies are shared to help fathers strengthen connection at home.At its core, this episode is about self-awareness, compassion and breaking generational cycles. It's about recognising inherited patterns, regulating ourselves before regulating our children and understanding that children model the behaviour they observe.If you are a father, an expecting dad, navigating co-parenting, healing your relationship with your own father or exploring men's mental health and emotional wellbeing, this episode will resonate deeply.Inside this podcast:- Why modern fatherhood is a missed rite of passage- How intergenerational trauma shapes parenting styles- Why fear based discipline creates long term insecurity- The role of emotional regulation in raising resilient children- How couples can reconnect through awareness and intentional communicationConnect with Jason:Linktree  → https://bio.site/raisingfathers Website → https://www.raising-fathers.com/Connect with Steve:Instagram → https://bit.ly/3KARQhR LinkedIn  → https://bit.ly/48sw8Vj Episode Highlights00:00:00 - The difference between sound and noise in life00:05:00 - Wanting to be a father from childhood00:07:00 - The rite of passage from man to father00:09:00 - Media stereotypes of modern fathers00:11:00 - Emotional openness and inherited silence00:12:00 - “Make sure you don't yell at your wife”00:14:00 - Intergenerational trauma and Holocaust survival imprint00:24:00 - Breaking unconscious parenting patterns00:28:00 - Modeling apology and repair for children00:31:00 - Aggression, tone, and fear based compliance00:45:00 - Relationship strain after children00:54:00 - The power of structured check ins00:58:00 - Intimacy and connection as relational glue01:03:00 - Conflict as a feature, not a flaw01:07:00 - Self compassion before behavior change01:10:00 - The belief that “I must be perfect to be good enough”01:11:00 - Doing the real work behind closed doorsABOUT THE PODCAST SHOWThe Noise of Life is a podcast that shares real stories, raw truths, and remarkable growth.

Today Ken Raiss and I reflect on the evolution of property investment over the past two decades, discussing significant changes in demographics, market conditions, and more importantly, what hasn't changed.   Because if you understand that, you'll be far better positioned to thrive in the next property cycle.   Takeaways   Investing in property requires a long-term perspective. Demographic shifts significantly influence property demand. Supply constraints are a growing challenge in the housing market. Technology is changing how we approach property investment. Intergenerational wealth transfer is becoming more common. Government regulations are impacting property investment strategies. Strategic planning is essential for successful investing. Understanding market cycles is crucial for investors. The importance of location in property investment remains unchanged. Investors need to adapt to changing market conditions.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of What Every Property Investor Needs To Know About Finance, Tax And The Law ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.   Join Ken Raiss and Michael Yardney, plus a team of experts, at Wealth Retreat 2026 on the Gold Coast in May.

 “What we call a risk is often just hanging on to a reality that may no longer be true.” In this episode I chat with Avivah Wittenberg-Cox, a global expert on 21st-century leadership, gender and generational balance, longevity, and the future of work. We explore the Four Quarter Lives framework (Q1 Grow, Q2 Achieving, Q3 Becoming, Q4 Harvesting), why lifespans are getting longer, and what that means for individuals, teams, and organizations. Our conversation covers practical changes for workplaces, the reframing of aging beyond decline, how to approach risk in midlife, and how to design careers and communities for longer, more purposeful lives. The episode includes guidance on leadership strategy, intergenerational collaboration, and personal planning for a longer horizon. Key takeaways - The Four Quarter Lives framework reframes a 100-year life into four 25-year phases: Grow (Q1), Achieving (Q2), Becoming (Q3), Harvesting (Q4). This helps individuals and organizations plan for longer, more varied careers. - Achieving (Q2) is not the endpoint; Q3 is a peak period for meaningful work, mentorship, and legacy-building, especially for women who have faced traditional juggling pressures. - Q4 is not decline; it's a time for legacy, contribution, and intergenerational engagement. As lifespans extend, many will shift toward continued purpose, learning, and mentoring. - Ageism and DEI shouldn't be the starting frame for addressing aging in organizations. Instead, demographics should be integrated into strategic planning at the executive level to influence talent, markets, and long-term resilience. - Midlife is a critical transition - often mischaracterized as a crisis. A proactive “midlife rethink” helps people plan for a longer horizon and avoid stagnation. - Intergenerational connections are valuable. Practical ideas like Generations Over Dinner can foster mutual understanding and collaboration across age groups. - The conversation emphasizes resilience and opportunity: risk should be reframed as choosing growth over clinging to a status quo that no longer aligns with longer, healthier lifespans.   Resources and links mentioned - Four Quarter Lives podcast: https://www.avivahwittenbergcox.com/podcasts/4-quarter-lives  - Elderberries Substack: https://elderberries.substack.com/  - 20 First: https://20-first.com/  - Generations Over Dinner: https://www.generationsoverdinner.com/  — a practical way to connect different age groups - The Correspondent by Virginia Evans: https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/the-correspondent-virginia-evans/7732977    Who should listen - Midcareer professionals (especially those in their 40s–60s) planning for longer, more varied career lives - Leaders and HR/talent professionals shaping long-term workforce strategy and age-inclusive growth - Anyone interested in reframing aging, intergenerational collaboration, and longevity as a positive opportunity   If you enjoy the podcast please help us grow by sharing this episode, or writing a review.

In this episode, we're exploring the first of Francis Weller's Five Gates of Grief: "Everything we love, we will lose." This isn't just another depressing truth about life—it's a surprisingly liberating gateway to deeper love, presence, and joy. We'll share some stories and practical wisdom about how savoring practices can help us hold both love and loss simultaneously. Most importantly, we'll highlight why grief is a skill, not just a feeling, and you'll learn a simple five-minute micro-ritual for tending to loss before it accumulates. This conversation weaves together Buddhist teachings on impermanence, neuroscience research on grief and savoring, and the vital reminder that grief is absolutely a team sport.  p.s.

Half the other half is dancing and laughing and swimming in the invisible joy." — Rumi "We are all the walking wounded in a world that is a war zone. Everything we love will be taken from us.

In this introduction to our 10-part grief series, we'll explain why a podcast about joy is diving deep into grief—and why you can't truly have joy without grief. During this series, we'll mainly lean on Francis Weller's "gates of grief." And importantly, as we move through these gates, the goal is not to help you "get over it" or rush through some prescribed grief stages so you can dismiss "bad" feelings. Instead, we'll explore more about the healing power of grief, how you can see and accept loss with less resistance, and we'll share some practices and realistic ways you can build skills to navigate grief in more nourishing ways.  p.s.

Lifecycle carbon assessment – the process of monitoring the total carbon footprint of a structure from the first spade in the ground to demolition – sits at the confluence of engineering and sustainability. As we adapt our processes and understanding of the built environment, LCA is a critical measure to guide our decision making. The nature of the work is truly holistic, in winter an icy road might have salt spread on it. This in turn could corrode rebar, which needs to be replaced. That work might close part of the road, which increases vehicle idling times and stop-start driving. All of this impacts LCA. Ali Amiri was an early adopter of the technique, and has devised a means of calculating a building's carbon impact before it's even reached the ground-breaking stage. His team now include lifecycle carbon assessment (LCA) as a routine part of their process. This episode also looks at the intergenerational aspect of the work, where, younger members of the team are bringing the data science related skills that allow them to deliver the LCA as standard. Guest Ali Amiri, Regional Director for Building Engineering and Sustainability, Egis Partner Egis is a leading global architectural, consulting, construction engineering, operations and mobility services firm. Egis creates and operates intelligent infrastructure and buildings that both respond to the climate emergency and contribute to balanced, sustainable and resilient development.Its 22,000 employees operate across over 100 countries, deploying their expertise to develop and deliver cutting-edge innovations and solutions for clients.

Today, I'm honored to connect with Jerry Wise, a leading voice in family systems and self-differentiation. With over 45 years of experience healing adults from narcissistic, dysfunctional, and emotionally immature family systems, Jerry's work guides people out of lifelong patterns of guilt, shame, and emotional enmeshment so they can finally live as their true selves. This episode is not about telling anyone what they should do with their family relationships. It's about understanding patterns, reclaiming choice, and recognizing that protecting your nervous system is essential for your wellness. We dive into narcissism, personality disorders, and the spectrum within which Jerry believes narcissism falls. We explore low, middle, and high-anxiety family systems, clarify why self-differentiation is critically important, and how long-term nervous system dysregulation often occurs when we grow up in narcissistic homes. We also cover trauma bonding, the impact of avoidance, the role of boundaries, and cultural myths around honoring our parents, and I answer some rapid-fire questions tailored explicitly to Jerry's expertise. I have wanted to interview Jerry for the podcast for a long time, and this is one of those truly impactful and deeply personal episodes. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How narcissistic parents differ from other types of parents The developmental switches that get turned off in those growing up with narcissistic parents Intergenerational trauma and how it impacts nervous system regulation and emotional health How self-differentiation can help individuals manage their emotional systems Challenges of setting boundaries with narcissistic parents Why internal boundaries are essential How avoidance can become a coping mechanism for dealing with uncomfortable feelings The importance of maintaining reality and not giving up on your true self to honor your parents and/or meet their expectations Strategies for managing family dynamics and reducing chronic anxiety Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Join other like-minded women in a supportive, nurturing community: The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow  Cynthia's Menopause Gut Book is on presale now!

David Bach joins Steve Chen to discuss the evolution of The Automatic Millionaire and his newest idea, the IRA Flat Tax, which aims to rethink how Americans use their retirement savings. Bach explains that decades of automation have helped millions accumulate wealth, but most retirees now delay spending their money until required minimum distributions, leaving trillions of dollars idle. He proposes a limited window allowing early retirement withdrawals at a flat tax rate to encourage spending, improve retiree quality of life, and stimulate the economy. The conversation also explores the difficulty of shifting from saving to spending, the importance of enjoying wealth while health allows, and how AI is reshaping financial planning without replacing the need for human guidance, reinforcing Bach's long-held belief that money is ultimately a tool to support a better life.

How many meetings have you sat through where someone blamed "those gen z's" or "okay boomer'd" their way out of a real conversation?Generational researcher Cam Marston is back to talk about what actually works when you're trying to build teams across four generations. We discussed the real differences (not the lazy stereotypes), why Gen X leaders might need to rethink their "figure it out" leadership style, and a suprising way to build teams that is effective! Regardless of any generational gaps.Cam broke down what each generation brings to the table right now: boomers has wisdom, Gen X are mostly the leaders, millennials are taking over leadership - democratically, and Gen Z is still figuring out their place.But when considering generational differences, the person who needs to change is probably you and me. Our own generational preferences is typically what gets in the way of team success, and Cam explains how to actually see it.We covered:What "figure it out" leadership costs with younger employees and whyWhy millennial managers might need to stop asking for input (so much) How to honestly assess our own generational biasesThere are lots of tips in here for organizations that are wrestling with big generation gaps and some related frustrations. **Connect with Cam Marston**Website: https:/CamMarston.comPodcast: What's Working with Cam Marston**Connect with Andrea Adams**LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrea-adams1/Website: https://thehrhub.ca/

Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Marina Margarucci, Managing Director at CBIZ, a consulting, tax, and financial services firm. Marina is the national leader of the Private Client Services practice at CBIZ, and she played an instrumental role in the organization and institutionalization of the practice. Marina's career has been concentrated on supporting robust, complex families heavily invested in the Alternative Investment space, which enables her to deliver essential insights when analyzing financial statements and investment portfolios. She specialized in building out and setting up Family Office structures and Private Foundations, and routinely speaks at conferences, discussing the intricacies of Family Office structure and governance. Marina and her company, CBIZ, are an Advisor Member of FOX, and we are happy to have her expertise and thought leadership within our membership community. Today, we cover a topic that comes up more and more frequently among family offices – sustainability. Marina offers her definition of what sustainability of a family office means and shares her views on what it takes for a family office to achieve longevity and enduring relevance across generations of family principals. One important dimension of ensuring sustainability is the rising trend of institutionalizing and professionalizing the family office. Marina talks about this trend and how families can approach the process of formalizing and professionalizing their family office. An increasingly critical practical implication for UHNW families is the role of technology when institutionalizing the family office. Marina provides her insights and suggestions on how best to understand, select, and deploy technology to enhance the capabilities of the family office. Another important pillar of family office sustainability is to assemble and manage an ecosystem of mission-critical service providers. Marina and CBIZ have developed the "4 pillar approach" to creating a web of specialized vendors. She introduces this framework and explains how family offices can apply it. Don't miss this highly relevant and instructive conversation with one of the leading practitioners and professional service providers in the UHNW family wealth and family office space.

Today Ken Raiss and I zoom out from the noise, unpack what's really going on beneath the surface, and help you make sense of the shifting forces shaping our economy, our property markets, and your long-term wealth.   The RBA wrapped up the year with a steady hand, but the tone behind that decision has raised more than a few eyebrows. Sure inflation is easing… except where it's not. Growth is soft… except where it matters. And the Board is hinting that some of these price pressures may be more persistent than we hoped.   So the narrative of "rate cuts in 2026" suddenly looks a lot less convincing than some commentators would have us believe.   At the same time, the property markets are setting up for another fascinating year. Prices continue to rise despite all the affordability hand-wringing, and that's because the market is being driven not by those who can't afford to buy, but by those who can.   And that creates very different conditions for investors, upgraders, downsizers, and the bank of Mum and Dad.   Plus, there's a fresh wave of questions about mortgage strategy. Should you fix now? Should you stay variable? Is waiting a mistake? With mixed signals from lenders - some even lifting fixed rates - this decision is far from straightforward.   Takeaways    ·         The Reserve Bank is navigating a complex economic landscape. ·         Interest rates are expected to remain high for the foreseeable future. ·         Inflation continues to be a significant concern for the economy. ·         The property market is influenced by those with financial capacity. ·         Intergenerational wealth transfer is becoming increasingly important. ·         Mortgage strategies should be tailored to individual circumstances. ·         The bank of mum and dad plays a crucial role in property purchases. ·         Understanding market dynamics is essential for investors. ·         Financial planning should align with long-term goals. ·         A holistic approach to wealth management is necessary.   Chapters    00:00 Why inflation risks keep rate cuts further away than expected. 04:00 The RBA's inflation dilemma as growth stays soft. 08:10 Per-capita recession pressures and who rates really hurt. 10:40 Why property prices rise despite affordability stress. 13:40 Equity, downsizers and the Bank of Mum & Dad drive demand. 16:40 Fix or variable: certainty, affordability and smart loan strategy.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of What Every Property Investor Needs To Know About Finance, Tax And The Law ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.   Join Ken Raiss and Michael Yardney, plus a team of experts, at Wealth Retreat 2026 on the Gold Coast in May.

Standard measures of intergenerational mobility treat parental income as a single average across childhood. In this episode, Steven Durlauf, Frank P. Hixon Distinguished Service Professor at the Harris School of Public Policy and Director of the Stone Center for Research on Wealth Inequality and Mobility, describes how parental income during the tween and adolescent years (ages 12-18) is far more predictive of adult outcomes than parental income during early childhood.

What if the question isn't what someone deserves but what it would take for them to live a good life? In this episode, Justin Yentes sits down with Liz, a pioneering mitigation specialist and author of the upcoming book The Deserving. Through decades of work on capital cases, Liz has helped courts see the full humanity of people facing society's harshest punishments. Together, they unpack how trauma, poverty, intergenerational harm, and systemic failure shape lives long before the justice system ever becomes involved and why punishment alone cannot create safety or justice. Liz also shares the cases that changed her, the patterns she's seen across hundreds of lives, and why mitigation isn't about excuses, it's about context, truth, and moral clarity. Key Topics Covered: Why jurors often never hear the full story before deciding life or death The myth of equal opportunity and the danger of retributive justice How adverse childhood experiences shape behavior, health, and outcomes Intergenerational trauma and the unseen legacy of abuse, poverty, and violence Mental health crises and why jails have become America's largest providers This episode will challenge deeply held beliefs about punishment, responsibility, and who we consider worthy of care. If this conversation unsettles you, that's the point. This episode asks us to rethink who we protect, who we abandon, and what kind of society we're choosing to build.

In this episode of Read the Damn Book, host Michelle Glogovac sits down with Brittany Penner, author of the powerful memoir Children Like Us. Brittany shares her personal story as an Indigenous child adopted during the Sixties Scoop, offering an intimate look at how displacement, identity, and intergenerational trauma shaped her life.Their conversation explores the complexities of family dynamics, motherhood, and belonging, as well as how Brittany's upbringing influenced her journey to becoming a doctor. She also discusses the role of storytelling in healing, reclaiming Indigenous identity, and challenging systems that silence lived experience. This episode is a thoughtful discussion on resilience, self-discovery, and the power of memoir to reclaim one's narrative.What We're Talking About...Children Like Us chronicles Brittany Penner's experience as an Indigenous child affected by the Sixties Scoop.The Sixties Scoop resulted in profound loss of culture, identity, and community for Indigenous children across Canada.Brittany reflects on family instability and loss, and how these dynamics shaped her sense of belonging.Intergenerational trauma remains a deeply rooted and ongoing issue within Indigenous families and communities.Regular family gatherings did not always provide emotional stability or safety during Brittany's childhood.Animals, particularly cats, offered comfort, consistency, and emotional connection during times of upheaval.Reconnecting with her biological family brought moments of joy alongside emotional complexity and healing.A compassionate physician inspired Brittany's path to becoming a doctor, reshaping her relationship with care and trust.Motherhood prompted deeper reflection on her upbringing, identity, and cycles of trauma and healing.Brittany underscores the power of memoir and storytelling as tools for reclaiming identity and owning one's narrative.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Background02:54 The Impact of the 60s Scoop05:33 Family Dynamics and Loss08:49 Intergenerational Trauma11:33 The Role of Pets in Healing13:53 Reconnecting with Biological Family16:39 Navigating Identity and Caretaking21:06 Becoming a Doctor24:06 Motherhood and New Beginnings27:16 Supportive Relationships30:43 Facing Naysayers33:48 Reflections on Storytelling36:52 The Journey of Self-Discovery37:22 Courage in Sharing Personal StoriesLinks MentionedBrittany Penner's website: https://brittanypenner.com

As we enter the Annual Kwanzaa/Christmas/New Year two week corridor, Session 302 of In Class With Carr centers on the meaning of naming, framing, and narrative as sites of Governance, self-determination and collective power. Drawing on Carter Godwin Woodson's “Much Ado About a Name” essay in his 1933 book “The Miseducation of the Negro,” this week we use our Africana Studies Framework to reflect on, subjects such as Kwanzaa, Black Nationalism, and Pan-Africanism, emphasizing content and context, distinguishing Social Structure from Governance questions in order to empower community-centered knowledge. Rejecting both narrowly-framed academic framings and superficial efforts to rename and redirect the potential of collective power, we use this season of reflection and gratitude to remind ourselves of frameworks that support action, intergenerational learning and expectations, and movement-building rooted in ourselves.Are you a member of Knarrative?

I was staring out the window and it was a foggy evening. And I wondered, we’re all asleep at night. And I was wondering, what happens at night? The coyotes are howling and no one is walking about. What really is going on? So I imagined in my own mind a short story evolving… I had something. Maybe four or five pages. And I showed it to Michelle. And she said, Jeez, Dad, it’s kind of an interesting story. Have you ever considered writing it into a novel? And I thought, well, I never gave it any thought. But now that you mention it, it might be a good idea.” – Neil On Intergenerational Collaboration “So this isn’t the first time we had worked together. We did work together professionally in commercial real estate, but this was the first time we had worked together on a creative project, more of a passion project. And what really struck me was how much we both loved writing and creativity. My dad had written things, as I mentioned, I have written things, but we’d never worked on something collaboratively together. So this to me was really surprising because it was so much fun.  And had I known it would be this much fun, I would have suggested something sooner. The work in this case is the fun. And another point in a professional setting, especially in real estate, my dad was the mentor and I was the mentee. Whereas this was new, this is new for both of us. The editing process, the literary world is a new discovery, which is fun equally on both sides. No one is the expert in this case. We’re learning together, which I found was really refreshing.” – Michelle On Transferable Skills “I found the process of writing a novel to be very similar to what I did for a living for about 50 years. Earlier on, as we were getting ready to build something, we would hire an architect, we would hire designers and planners and tradesmen. And I found myself ironically finding the same in script writers and editors and influencers that came to the party as well. And I found that writing a novel and building a building were very, very similar. And one of the characteristics in real estate development is the attitude of patience.” – Neil 

Inflation does more than just force up prices. It destroys the wealth-producing process, especially with young people who are prevented from acquiring the same kinds of assets earlier generations procured. The result is inter-generational conflict.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/inflation-interventionism-and-intergenerational-resentment
