Today's True Weird Stuff - Internal Sunshine   William J.A. Bailey wasn’t a doctor, but he convinced the public to trust him anyway—selling radium-laced water as a cure for nearly everything. One of those believers was Eben Byers, a wealthy athlete who drank more than a thousand doses, slowly poisoning himself until his jaw disintegrated and his skull began to rot before his death. The death of Eben Byers forced the world to finally confront the cost of pseudoscience that goes unchecked.

Internal conversations are where urgency fades and objections grow, especially when sellers aren't in the room. In this episode, Brandon breaks down what buyers really mean when they say “we need to talk internally,” why this phrase often leads to deal limbo, and how to uncover the pushback before it becomes a stall.You'll learn the best questions to surface internal resistance, how to turn internal talks into scheduled decision events, and how to equip buyers with a clear internal pitch instead of dumping a deck. If your deals keep vanishing after “we'll talk internally,” this episode shows exactly how to fix it.

John Deere is also building a distribution center in Hebron, Indiana, according to a press release from the company. “In keeping with our strong tradition of building America, we are excited to announce plans to open two new U.S.-based facilities: a state-of-the-art distribution center near Hebron, Indiana, and a cutting-edge excavator factory in Kernersville, North Carolina, both set to open in the next year,” the company said.

The bank said it will match the government's $1,000 contribution to the newly established accounts for children born between Jan. 1, 2025, and Dec. 31, 2028 for all 165,000 U.S. employees. Additionally, the bank will enable its employees with children under age 18 to make pretax contributions to Trump accounts through payroll deductions. According to the Treasury Department's Office of Tax Analysis, a fully funded Trump account could be worth as much as $1.9 million by age 28, with lower-end returns approaching $600,000 over the same period. Treasury estimates the savings account would rise to between $3,000 and $13,800 over 18 years without contributions beyond the federal government's initial $1,000 deposit.

The deal, announced Monday by far-left Podemos and the Socialist government of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, represents one of the most sweeping amnesties in modern Spanish history, La Gaceta reports. According to party sources and reports from Cadena SER, the measure will be approved by royal decree at Tuesday's Council of Ministers. It bypasses ordinary parliamentary scrutiny and fast-tracks a policy that will undoubtedly have catastrophic, long-term demographic, economic, and security consequences. Under the plan, illegal immigrants who can demonstrate as little as five months of residence in Spain will be eligible for legal status. The regularization applies regardless of how they entered the country or whether they previously violated immigration or labor laws. The cutoff date for eligibility is December 31, 2025, meaning anyone already residing illegally in Spain before that date may qualify. Government estimates suggest more than half a million people could benefit, making this not an isolated humanitarian measure but a structural transformation of Spain's migration policy. Source: thegatewaypundit.com President of European Parliament Bans EU Nations from Purchasing Russian Gas Without Paying Commission to Third Party   the European Union is now banning the EU countries from purchasing discounted Russian oil and gas directly. Instead, the EU will force their assembly to purchase Russian oil and gas from India at a premium.  The EU is still buying Russian oil and gas; however, paying more, they believe, will work out better for them in the long-term.    European Parliament President Roberta Metsola made the announcement via X: [SOURCE] The actual target of this oil and gas ban is the nation of Hungary, who as a landlocked nation is dependent on the gas from Russia.  The EU ban expressly hurts the position of Hungary because Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has refused to kneel to the dictates of Brussels. Prime Minister Orban has vowed to sue the European Parliament over the ban. The lawsuit will likely be supported by other EU countries who understand the stupidity of paying India for what amounts to a brokerage fee to deliver the same oil and gas.

What We Know So Far We reported Tuesday evening about the bizarre attack on the far-left Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-5) in Minneapolis. As RedState's Susie Moore wrote, Omar was “speaking at a town hall event there when a man approached her and appeared to spray an unknown substance at her while pointing and yelling at her.” The man was quickly taken down by what appeared to be a security guard, and an apparently unharmed Omar initially moved toward the assailant and yelled angrily at him. https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/2016375584331354404?s=20 Kazmierczak, a 55-year-old Minneapolis resident, was arrested on January 27, 2026, for third-degree assault after spraying Omar with an unknown substance (reported to smell like vinegar) during a town hall event she hosted in Minneapolis. He shouted demands for her to resign, claiming she was “tearing Minnesota apart,” amid tensions over federal immigration enforcement in the area.  . Public records indicate Kazmierczak has been unemployed since at least 2017 (when he was receiving disability payments), has filed for bankruptcy, and has a history of two DUI convictions but no prior violent crimes. He has been married and divorced twice, but there are no verified links between his ex-wives and Omar. Some social media speculation has suggested connections—such as claims that he worked for Omar’s husband’s business partners or that an ex-wife supported Omar—but these appear unsubstantiated, with no supporting evidence in news reports or public records.  Source: redstate.com https://twitter.com/mymomcare/status/2016495436018733441?s=20   President Trump Weighs In With a Highly Provocative Take Regarding the Spray Attack on Ilhan Omar Shortly following the attack, Trump was asked by ABC's Rachel Scott regarding whether he had seen the video. https://twitter.com/rachelvscott/status/2016365247817257360?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2016365247817257360%7Ctwgr%5E18f7c1027a366f0d59a4aaa3f423ebe67276fc1e%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fpresident-trump-weighs-highly-provocative-take-regarding-spray%2F Source: thegatewaypundit.com How do we know it was staged 1. sprayed unknown liquid, keyword unknown 2. was it poison, was it a virus, etc. 3. why wasn’t everyone evacuated or contained in this location 4. why wasn’t poison control called, no hazmat suit people coming 5. why did she decided to continue with the townhall if she doesn’t know what the liquid was, she doesn’t want to be checked out.  Forensic investigators determined the substance was apple cider vinegar  https://twitter.com/WallStreetApes/status/2016410811024216116?s=20  https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2016482991220851124?s=20 Soros-backed Philadelphia DA vows to ‘hunt’ down ICE agents: ‘We will find you’ https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/2016501035414466807?s=20   President Trump's Plan https://twitter.com/AGPamBondi/status/2016585424840339831?s=20 https://twitter.com/MayorFrey/status/2016241048209518736?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2016299403230036327%7Ctwgr%5Ee97929c3cc41b95d49cf21728478f8315dc83629%7Ctwcon%5Es3_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fx22report.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D28444action%3Dedit  They were stalling/lying.

In this final Think Thursday of Mostly Dry January, Molly delivers an empowering message for anyone questioning whether their efforts this month "counted." If you've found yourself wondering why change feels so slow, or why your results don't match your effort, this episode is for you.She explains why progress in behavior change is often invisible at first — especially when it comes to changing deeply ingrained habits like drinking. Backed by neuroscience, Molly reveals how your brain rewires itself through small wins, micro-pauses, and increased awareness, even if those changes aren't yet reflected in your habits or outcomes.Key Topics CoveredWhy behavior change often doesn't look like progress at firstThe role of neuroplasticity in rewiring your brain through repetitionWhat researchers call latent change — and why it mattersThe difference between outcomes and indicators in habit changeSubtle but powerful signs of invisible progressHow identity and self-talk begin shifting before results show upScience Concepts MentionedNeuroplasticity: Your brain is shaped by repetition, attention, and intentionAmygdala down-regulation and dopamine recalibration during early behavior changeLatent change: Internal shifts that occur before external behaviors visibly improveInvisible Wins to Look ForPausing more often before acting on a cravingFeeling curious instead of critical when things go off-planMore compassionate self-talkA stronger desire to re-engage, even after misstepsGrowing awareness of what drives your decisionsWeekly Reflection PromptWhat kind of progress have you made this month that no one else can see — but you can feel?Wrap-Up MessageYou don't need to be perfect. You don't need to be done. You just need to keep noticing.Progress is often invisible — until it's not. ★ Support this podcast ★

Most founders underestimate how much their thinking, food choices, and daily habits quietly shape their performance– and their health.In this episode of Founder Talk, Alex Sheridan sits down with Dr. Chrystal Ciodyk, founder of Chrystal Clinic, to explore the overlooked connection between mindset, physical health, and long-term decision-making. Chrystal built her clinic after completing advanced training in acupuncture and Chinese medicine—then launched the business during COVID, despite widespread skepticism.This episode examines how founders unknowingly operate in a constant state of stress, inflammation, and mental noise—and how that affects clarity, discipline, and judgment, and explores a core founder problem: running businesses from a depleted body and distracted mind. Founders will hear a practical perspective on how small, consistent changes can restore clarity and energy, and how chronic stress, poor nutrition, and unchecked habits create physical inflammation and mental resistance—often mistaken for lack of discipline or motivation. Q&A-Style Takeaways (Chronological)00:00:00 – Introduction00:01:45Q: Why does mental and physical health directly affect founder performance?A: Chronic stress and imbalance reduce long-term focus, resilience, and decision quality, even when short-term results look fine.00:05:12Q: What everyday habits create inflammation that founders often ignore?A: Excess sugar, dairy, alcohol, processed foods, and lack of recovery quietly compound physical and cognitive stress.00:07:33Q: What does inflammation actually do to the body and mind?A: It disrupts digestion, joints, sleep, and energy, often showing up as brain fog, pain, or chronic fatigue.00:13:45Q: Why do founders struggle to break habits they know are unhealthy?A: Internal mental resistance—the “comfort-seeking psyche”—pushes people to stay in familiar patterns even when they want change.00:17:23Q: How do thoughts and language influence physical health outcomes?A: Negative self-talk can reinforce symptoms through the nocebo effect, while intentional framing supports recovery.00:43:40Q: Is hustle culture silently costing founders their health?A: Many founders trade health and family time for growth, only to face burnout or forced slowdowns later.00:46:20Q: What are simple daily tools founders can use to reset stress?A: Breathing techniques, small rituals, and short recovery practices help regulate the nervous system and improve focus.This episode is especially relevant for founders balancing growth, family, and long-term sustainability.

Internal medicine physician Earl Stewart, Jr. discusses his article "Pancreatic cancer racial disparities." Earl examines the devastating pattern of pancreatic cancer claiming Black cultural icons like John Lewis and Aretha Franklin while the medical establishment fails to implement race-specific screening guidelines. He highlights research showing that high-risk individuals undergoing surveillance have a 50 percent five-year survival rate compared to just 9 percent for those diagnosed through usual care.

I'm your host Stacey Simms and this is an In The News episode.. where we bringing you the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. We are less than one month from our first MNO of 2026. Please join us in Silver Spring MD Feb 20 and 21. It's going to be amazing. We're going to Nashville next March 6-7 and we're going to have a great event a Club 1921 we just added on Thursday March 5th for health care providers and patient leaders. All the info is over at diabetes-connetionss.com events/ Okay.. our top story this week: XX   All UK children could be offered screening for type 1 diabetes using a simple finger-prick blood test, say researchers who have been running a large study. This is the ELSA study - Early Surveillance for Autoimmune diabetes, a first of its kind UK study. They tested blood samples from 17,931 children aged 3-13 for autoantibodies, markers of type 1 diabetes that can appear years before symptoms. Families of children found to have early-stage type 1 diabetes received tailored education and ongoing support to prepare for the eventual onset of type 1 diabetes symptoms and to ensure insulin therapy can begin promptly when needed, reducing the chances of needing emergency treatment. Those with one autoantibody also received ongoing support and monitoring.   Some families were also offered teplizumab, the first ever immunotherapy for type 1 diabetes, which can delay the need for insulin by around three years in people with early-stage type 1 diabetes. The second phase has launched and will expand screening to all children in the UK aged 2-17 years, with a focus on younger children (2-3 years) and older teenagers (14-17 years). The research team aims to recruit 30,000 additional children across these new age groups. ELSA 2 will assess how screening can be scaled across the NHS and evaluate its cost-effectiveness. https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/news/2026/childhood-type-1-diabetes-screening-is-effective-and-could-prevent-thousands-of-emergency-diagnoses XX At the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference Dexcom CEO Jake Leach says they're going to launch a new product outside the US. I'll link up that interview, The full quote: "When you look at the outside the U.S., there are a lot of structures that are tiered. Patients have access to different types of products, so we've got a new one that we want to introduce that will add flexibility there. It's based on the G7 platform, just like Dexcom ONE+, but it has a unique experience that's tailored for a subset of users that, today, don't have access to Dexcom." Your guess is as good as mine, but sounds more like a pricing or ordering issue than a new bit of hardware or software. Dexcom will also bring Stelo to some international markets this year. And plans a new mobile app experience for the wearable biosensor meant for people who don't dose insulin. Leach also says G8 will be much smaller and with more capability. but is a few years away. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/dexcom-ceo-jake-leach-2026-roadmap-jpm/ XX A new international consensus statement provides guidance for the use of diabetes technology during pregnancy for women with type 1 diabetes (T1D), type 2 diabetes (T2D), or gestational diabetes (GD).   Organized by the diaTribe Foundation, the document was based on evidence where available, as well as opinion from an international group of experts in endocrinology, diabetes technology, and obstetrics & gynecology, among others.   This is the first set of recommendations specifically addressing the use of diabetes technology in pregnancy – and we'll link it up. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/new-consensus-statement-addresses-diabetes-tech-pregnancy-2026a100020d XX Bariatric surgery beats GLP-1s for type 2 diabetes across income levels. This study was published this month, looking at nearly 300 patients are 4 medical centers. Success here is measured by lower blood glucose levels, higher weight loss (28% vs. 10%), less use of diabetes medications, remission of diabetes to the point of no longer needing to inject insulin, and reduced risk factors for cardiovascular disease.     Bariatric surgery was better than medical therapy across all social backgrounds, they found, and not just in areas of higher deprivation. The ancillary study was smaller, and some of the participants randomized in earlier stages crossed over from medical to surgical treatment, and the reverse. The authors acknowledged and accounted for these limitations, along with the rapid development of more powerful obesity drugs not fully captured in the study. This was a long term study – more than 12 years – and by the end of the study more people were choosing GLP1 medications. One dividing line: If someone hopes to lose 100 pounds, that's more likely with surgery than with medications.  "Ultimately, we need large, long-term, well-designed studies to clarify the best strategy for a given patient." https://www.statnews.com/2026/01/19/diabetes-study-bariatric-surgery-better-than-glp-1s/ XX Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have reported for the first time that a father's exposure to microplastics (MPs) can lead to metabolic problems in his children, including diabetes. This is a mouse study, but it looks at a previously unrecognized way in which environmental pollution may influence the health of future generations. MPs are extremely small plastic fragments, measuring less than 5 millimeters, that form as consumer products and industrial materials break down. Metabolic disorders describe a group of conditions that include elevated blood pressure, high blood sugar, and excess body fat, all of which raise the risk of heart disease and diabetes. The team found that female offspring of male mice exposed to MPs were far more prone to metabolic disorders than offspring of unexposed fathers, even though all offspring received the same high fat diet.     The research team hopes the findings will guide future investigation into how MPs and even smaller nanoplastics affect human development.   https://scitechdaily.com/microplastics-can-rewire-sperm-triggering-diabetes-in-the-next-generation/ XX The FDA has finalized four new recalls for certain lots of Abbott's FreeStyle Libre 3 and FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensors due to ongoing safety concerns. We told you about this in November when Abbott says some of its continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors were providing incorrect low glucose warnings. Internal testing identified the issue—carbon building up in the sensors during the manufacturing process—and determined that approximately 3 million CGM sensors were affected. The sensors were distributed in the United States, Canada and several European countries.  When Abbott shared that announcement, the FDA was still reviewing the situation. No recalls had yet been finalized. Now, however, the agency has announced four new Class I recalls.   https://cardiovascularbusiness.com/topics/clinical/heart-health/fda-confirms-recalls-abbott-cgm-sensors-new-lawsuit-alleges-company-concealed-information XX   Insulet brings back it's U.S. Pod recycling program, now making it available to all U.S. customers. The Pod recycling program, offered at no cost to customers, enables users to request a recycling kit online. This allows them to return their used Omnipods. Insulet then decontaminates the returned Pods before transporting them to a company specializing in recycling for electronics and medical products. Insulet began recycling pilot programs in Mass and California and are rolling it out nationwide. Insulet also has "Pod takeback" programs outside the U.S. in several international markets. These programs enable customers to request a takeback kit by contacting their local customer support team.   https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/insulet-expands-us-pod-recycling-program/ XX Up next a new resource for a population at three times the risk for diabetes, but without a lot of access to health information. I The first diabetes information website primarily in ASL has launched. The site includes GIFs and videos on diabetes management and an ASL glossary of diabetes-related terms. This is from University of Utah Health – Called Deaf Diabetes Can Together. Deaf and hard of hearing people are at three times higher risk for diabetes, but access to health information in ASL is limited. https://healthcare.utah.edu/newsroom/news/2026/01/first-diabetes-information-website-asl-launches XX Novo Nordisk ended all work on cell therapies, including a Type 1 diabetes program, in October – and now has found a buyer. Aspect has acquired rights to the assets and giving Novo an option to reengage for later-stage development and commercialization. Novo is helping bankroll Aspect's development of the assets, investing in the company and providing research funding. The arrangement gives Novo a chance to profit from the programs down the line. Novo is eligible for royalties and milestone payments on future product sales and, having handed the reins to Aspect for now, can expand its role in later-stage development and commercialization. The integration will involve the transfer of capabilities and expertise from Novo sites in Denmark and the U.S. to Aspect's Canadian operations. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/novo-nordisk-offloads-diabetes-assets-aspect-amid-cell-therapy-retreat XX XX Lucas Escobar has carved a role by proving that healthcare marketing can be culturally resonant, commercially powerful and deeply human. As director and head of U.S. consumer marketing at Insulet, he has redefined how the Omnipod tubeless insulin pump shows up in culture, transforming a medical device into a symbol of identity, inclusion and empowerment.   Under Escobar's leadership, Insulet launched three breakthrough initiatives: Dyasonic: Sound of Strength, a Marvel comic collaboration introducing a superhero who uses Omnipod; The Pod Drop, which turned the sound of a pod change into a celebratory music track; and Omnipod Mango x Pantone, medtech's first color partnership, honoring the vibrancy of the diabetes community. Each blended creativity with purpose while driving results, helping fuel Omnipod's consistent double-digit growth and its position as the most prescribed insulin pump in the U.S.   Living with type 1 diabetes himself, Escobar brings lived experience to his work, using storytelling not just to sell, but to make people feel seen.   Click here to return to the 2026 MM+M 40 Under 40 homepage.   From the January 01, 2026 Issue of MM+M - Medical Marketing and Media https://www.mmm-online.com/40-under-40/40-under-40-lucas-escobar-insulet/ -- FDA approves an update to the prescribing info for Afrezza inhaled insulin. This is a revision to the recommendations for the starting mealtime dosage when patients switch from shots or insulin pumps. This is aimed at healthcare providers - the updated labeling was supported by results from the INHALE-3 trial. The FDA is still considering approval of Afrezza for kids – a decision there expect by summer. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/01/26/3225442/29517/en/MannKind-Announces-FDA-Approval-of-Updated-Afrezza-Label-Providing-Starting-Dose-Guidance-when-Switching-from-Multiple-Daily-Injections-MDI-or-Insulin-Pump-Mealtime-Therapy.html   -- UK researchers have developed a calculator to predict whether someone is at risk for type 1 diabetes. They're hoping this helps in screening and in preventing DKA at diagnosis. They used the TEDDY study to create this calculator, which right now is in beta form and only for kids and teens ages 8-18. The current beta form of the calculator asks users to answer questions about four factors necessary to estimate a child's risk of developing type 1 diabetes: age, family history, number of confirmed autoantibodies, and genetic risk score. The calculator has been given regulatory approval as a diagnostic in the U.K., and he's working with a company that's hoping to bring it to the U.S. in the next few months in the form of a home genetic test kit. https://www.healthcentral.com/news/type-1-diabetes/new-calculator-might-help-predict-type-1-diabetes-before-symptoms-appear

Something To Think About Series #316 Thought of the day from Venerable Robina Courtin

Not everyone regulates themselves the same way.Some people measure their actions by character. Others measure by consequences. In this episode, we explore the difference between internal and external regulation, why Stoics tend to be internal regulators, and why that can quietly lead to rumination and burnout if left unchecked.We cover:Why not everyone thinks the way you doHow internal regulation drives growth—and sufferingWhen reflection stops being usefulA simple Stoic method to close the rumination loopBeing internally regulated is a strength—but only if you know when to move on.

Malcolm Hoenlein and Thaddeus McCotter examine Saudi Arabia's internal disagreements over a potential air campaign against Iran. The conversation explores Riyadh's strategic calculations, balancing regional security concerns against the risks of direct military confrontation with Tehran and the complexities of American alliance dynamics.

2026 is shaping up to be a turning point year for the Democrats in Colorado. Internal disagreements on hot topics like data centers and AI threaten to divide the state's governing party, while important June primaries for the top statewide offices have many lawmakers looking to the future. So, as the legislature convenes for what will be Gov. Jared Polis' final session in control of the veto pen, what will the Dems be able to agree on? Politics contributor Deep Singh Badhesha joins host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to talk about Polis' last big projects, the internal Democratic divisions, yet another budget deficit, and why everyone can't stop talking about “affordability.”  Paul mentioned Sam Brasch's reporting on the dueling data center bills for CPR and the heavily amended Kelly Loving Act that passed last year. Bree talked about the episode we made with Sam about the data centers already operating in Denver.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter Hey Denver at denver.citycast.fm.

Most companies treat LinkedIn like a megaphone. AlleyOop turned it into a reality show. In this episode, host Jason Bradwell sits down with Gabe Lullo, CEO of AlleyOop, to unpack how his sales development agency scaled from 25,000 to over 1.2 million LinkedIn followers by empowering employees to build their personal brands, not pushing a corporate page. Gabe breaks down the playbook: hiring people who want to be on camera, building an in-house media team, running internal podcasts that never get published, and tying content performance directly to commission. This isn't theory, it's a proven system filling enterprise calendars with qualified meetings. Jason and Gabe dive into AlleyOop's 16-year evolution from traditional outbound to organic LinkedIn content. The real insight? Gabe stopped caring about the company page and focused entirely on employee personal brands. They aggregated all employee profiles (originally 25K followers, now 1.2M) and turned their team into documentary subjects. Employees aren't forced to post, but those who participate get full support: professional video editing, copywriting, and a content calendar. Gabe walks through hiring - candidates now submit sample social posts during interviews and how they set people up for success. They run internal podcast-style interviews, chop them into posts, send them to copywriters for frameworks, then hand them back to employees to personalise. The feedback loop is built around incentives. Sellers get more leads (more commission). Recruiters attract more candidates (more placements, more money). Everyone's financially tied to content performance, so buy-in is organic. Gabe measures success not just by impressions, but by whether prospects recognise team members before demos, cutting 60% of the typical sales pitch. Jason asks about the CEO fear: won't employees get poached if we build their brands? Gabe's answer: people leave anyway. AlleyOop actually built a business model around clients hiring their reps and gets paid when it happens. Companies trying to poach probably aren't investing in teams like AlleyOop does, so culture becomes retention. Looking to 2026, Gabe's taking the human-first approach from the feed into DMs. LinkedIn's becoming the new email inbox (buried in automation), so they're building tools for real one-on-one conversations that convert faster. If you're trying to activate your team on LinkedIn without it feeling forced, this episode is your blueprint. Gabe proves you can build a scalable, revenue-driving content engine by supporting people instead of controlling them. Whether you're in sales development, professional services, or any people-first business, these principles will transform how you think about employee advocacy. 00:00 - Introduction: BDR as a service and people-first growth 02:00 - AlleyOop's 16-year evolution and go-to-market 04:30 - Doubling down on LinkedIn content 3-4 years ago 07:00 - From 25K to 1.2M followers: the aggregation strategy 10:00 - Hiring for content: asking candidates for sample posts 13:00 - Setting employees up for success: the in-house media team 16:00 - Internal podcasts, videographers, and copywriters 19:00 - Feedback loops: 70/30 business vs personal content 22:00 - Tying content to commission: financial buy-in 25:00 - Measuring success: recognition before demos 28:00 - Overcoming the "they'll get poached" objection 31:00 - 2026 strategy: taking conversations into DMs 34:00 - Where to find Gabe and AlleyOop Connect with Jason Bradwell on LinkedIn Connect with Gabe Lullo on LinkedIn Subscribe to Do Hard Things Podcast on Apple Podcasts Visit AlleyOop's official site Explore B2B Better website and the Pipe Dream podcast

Internal medicine and functional medicine physician Shiv K. Goel discusses his article "Mind-body connection in chronic disease: Why traditional medicine falls short." Shiv explores the limitations of conventional medical models that focus solely on acute intervention while ignoring the emotional roots of chronic conditions. He shares the compelling story of Linda whose physical ailments were deeply connected to decades of suppressed grief and trauma. The conversation delves into the science of psychoneuroimmunology and how unprocessed emotions get stored in the body's tissues eventually manifesting as disease. Shiv explains why true healing involves not just medication but also meditation and somatic therapy to rewrite the body's internal narrative.

As if the work of hiring wasn't difficult enough, it's important to evaluate whether the best fit for a position is likely to come from a candidate already within the organization or to search out someone from outside the facility. Today we discuss the pros and cons that these different types of candidates bring to the table. www.patreon.com/aquatizoo l.semple@magicalvacationplanner.com www.magicalvacationplanner.com/staff/lori-semple

In today's episode, I share what I believe are two of the biggest keys to interior peace—especially for moms who feel tired, overwhelmed, or stuck in resistance to their daily lives. First, I talk about how to have a bad day well: how to recognize what's happening in your body, care for yourself with compassion, and decide what kind of day you actually need. Then I share the second key—learning to see the work and responsibilities of your life as missions given to you by the Lord, which changes everything about how they feel. In this episode, we talk about: What to do when you wake up already having a bad day "Bunny slippers days" vs. days where you still have to show up How biology, thoughts, and emotions work together Why willingness is often closer to peace than happiness How clarity about what God is asking you to do creates calm and purpose At the end of the episode, I also share an important announcement about the future of the podcast and Catholic Mom Calm, including what's coming next and how you can help me reach more moms. If you want to feel calmer, more grounded, and more aligned with what God is asking of you—this episode is for you.

Guest April Obersteller is a people-centered leader, operator, and founder of And Not Or, a community and leadership platform built around the belief that we don't have to choose. She has led customer and employee experience across iconic consumer brands, including YETI and woom, and now leads community and experience at Recess. April also hosts The AND Podcast, where she shares real conversations about leadership, growth, and humanity. Summary In this episode, Jeff talks with April Obersteller, co-founder and CEO of And, about what it really takes to build companies that succeed by investing in people as much as products. Drawing on her experience at fast-growing brands like YETI and her work with startups and scale-ups, April challenges the false choice between caring for employees and driving business results. Instead, she advocates for an "and" philosophy—holding space for profitability and people, clarity and uncertainty, action and reflection. April explains why internal customers are often overlooked, how intentional care doesn't require flashy programs, and why culture can't be faked with posters or slogans. She also discusses brave leadership, emphasizing awareness, courage, and the willingness to act amid discomfort. Throughout the conversation, April highlights how focusing on employee success ultimately creates better customer experiences, stronger teams, and more resilient organizations. The episode offers a thoughtful exploration of leadership, scalability, and how curiosity and creativity emerge when leaders resist either-or thinking and instead embrace the complexity of building something meaningful. The Essential Point Sustainable business success comes from embracing "and" thinking—supporting people and performance together—rather than treating employee care as secondary to growth or profit.

In this episode, the Grace Current delves into the complexities of our internal world, exploring how our past experiences shape our emotional responses and coping mechanisms. She emphasize the importance of recognizing the different parts of ourselves, particularly the 'exiles'—the painful emotions we often suppress. By understanding these parts, we can begin to integrate them into our lives, allowing for healing and transformation. The conversation highlights the significance of curiosity and compassion in navigating our emotional landscape, encouraging listeners to approach their feelings with gentleness rather than judgment.Grace introduces the concept of the 'eight C's'—clarity, connection, courage, curiosity, creativity, calm, compassion, and confidence—as essential qualities to cultivate in our journey towards self-understanding and spiritual growth. They stress that our spirit-led self is at the core of our being, and by inviting Jesus into our stories, we can find healing and purpose. The episode concludes with a call to action for listeners to stay curious about their emotions and to embrace the transformative power of self-compassion and understanding.Chapters00:00 Exploring the Internal World01:16 Understanding Managers and Exiles05:48 The Impact of Childhood Experiences08:25 The Eight C's of Self14:25 Connecting with the Spirit-Led Self17:31 The Invitation to Transformation23:54 Integrating Pain and Anger28:52 Integrating the Parts of Ourselves32:48 The Role of Curiosity in Healing42:26 Inviting Jesus into Our Stories54:00 Transforming Through Compassion and Understanding59:39 the-breaker

Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:If you've done everything “right” yet still feel stuck, this reframes how your words drive behavior and culture by shifting attention to the present.We often don't realize how often our questions point backward. That moment when something goes wrong and the first words are, “Why is this happening?” You sift through past details, replay conversations in your head, and feel the pull of self-judgment. The rest of the day goes to rehashing.Over time, the loop shows up as hesitation, slower calls, extra checking. Energy shifts to second-guessing. Decisions sit. Confidence drops.On the Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future, I sit with Blair Dunkley as he shares his  trigger moments that cracked and remade his inner stance: his mother being refused a $200 budget to throw a tea party for her patients, his father's 14‑year coma, and later his own health challenges. We examine how language patterns direct behavior, how acceptance can loosen the grip of pain, and how turning toward present choice shifts what becomes possible. It's an inquiry into awareness and responsibilityHe identifies  the “why-hole” and what changed in his understanding of language and behavior to change thousands of lives following his mind models.. Blair has seen these patterns up close for years under pressure. He watches how words shape behavior until the structure is clear. Here are the five key takeaways from this episode:Why true “why” questions are past-based and immobilizingThe two questions that restore your own agency in minutesBehaviors lead belief: how to build confidence with evidenceThe Three E's: Effective vs Ineffective, External vs Internal, Evaluation vs JudgmentState shifts that work: acceptance, posture, and perspectiveJoin the conversation because when your pressure keeps stacking this loop burns time and attention. The way we speak to ourselves under stress drives how we lead. Are we staying in the past frame, or are we ready to face the present without more reasons?Find out more about Blair on on  blairdunkley.com and find his free resource: The Three E's ebook + 80-minute masterclass._____________________We appreciate you, thank you for listening.

Ro Khanna is the U.S. Representative for California's 17th Congressional District (Silicon Valley) since 2017, serving his fifth term as a Democrat. Born to Indian immigrant parents, Khanna graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a B.A. in economics from the University of Chicago and earned a J.D. from Yale Law School.

A leader on climate, labor rights (supporting the PRO Act), and digital privacy, Khanna refuses PAC and lobbyist contributions and has championed bipartisan efforts like the Epstein Files Transparency Act (2025) for releasing sealed documents. In late 2025, he faced Silicon Valley backlash for supporting a proposed wealth tax on billionaires to fund healthcare amid Medicaid cuts. Khanna advocates for progressive economic patriotism, reducing inequality, and ethical tech governance while working across the aisle on national security and innovation. Married to Ritu Ahuja Khanna, with two children, he resides in Fremont. Shawn Ryan Show Sponsors: Ready to give your liver the support it deserves?

Support Without Solving: Stop Carrying It All as a Leader   Serial fixers often experience leadership burnout which quietly shows up as emotional over-responsibility, exhaustion, and feeling like everything depends on you. You care deeply about your people. You want to be supportive, responsive, and present. But somewhere along the way, that helpfulness starts to feel heavy.   Being helpful shouldn't drain you.You weren't meant to carry everything. And pretending you can could be what's breaking you.   In this episode of Impact With Ease, Blake Schofield sits down with psychotherapist and corporate mental wellness expert Leah Marone to explore why so many leaders feel responsible for everything. You'll learn how to lead in a way that supports others without carrying it all yourself.   Episode Highlights   Why Leaders End Up Carrying Everything [06:34] - How empathy and competence turn into over-responsibility [09:20] - The unspoken pressure leaders feel to "hold it all together" [11:31] - Why this pattern is so common in high-performing leaders The Hidden Cost of Being the Helper [13:56] - How solving for others actually increases exhaustion [16:20] - Why teams become dependent instead of empowered [17:26] - The emotional labor leaders rarely name out loud Support Without Solving: What Changes [18:58] - The difference between being supportive and being responsible [20:22] - How validation builds trust without taking ownership [22:20] - What leaders can do instead of fixing Helping Teams Build Confidence and Ownership [27:04] - Why discomfort is part of growth for teams [28:04] - How leaders unintentionally block development [31:44] - Simple shifts that create capability instead of dependence Leading with Boundaries That Actually Work [34:38] - Internal boundaries that reduce emotional load [37:10] - How to stay caring without carrying everything [42:27] - Why presence matters more than perfect answers The Power of Micro-Resets [48:48] - Using daily transitions as opportunities to release stress [47:28] - How small shifts compound into significant change [51:28] - Building the muscle of being present without being perfect   Powerful Quotes "Support doesn't mean solving. It means creating space for someone to build their own confidence." – Leah Marone "It's the thing that helped you feel successful and loved and a sense of belonging. And then it is the thing that becomes cycles of burnout, overwhelm, over-responsibility, worrying about everyone else's feelings while dishonoring your own." – Blake Schofield "People have to have our ownership, we have to hear ourselves, it has to get pocketed away internally for us to be able then to activate." – Leah Marone "You cannot receive when your hands are full. Life is always going to give you something that's unexpected. And when you are so busy and so full that you don't have space for that, then it makes it really hard to manage your emotions, to help deal with and manage other people's emotions, to be present to the greater opportunities." – Blake Schofield   Resources Mentioned Drained at the end of the day & want more presence in your life?

What if burnout isn't caused by doing too much, but by constantly leaking your energy in ways you don't even notice? In this episode of School of Impact, Jason sits down with energy expert and entrepreneur Spencer Jones to unpack the concept of energy sovereignty, it's about learning how to protect, restore, and intentionally direct your energy so you can thrive without burning out. This conversation blends mindset, nervous-system regulation, play, and personal responsibility into a powerful framework for living and leading at your highest level.   "Have fun. There's more fulfillment for me. The impact is greater when you are having fun. When you're doing that, people resonate with it more. It doesn't feel forced, uneasy, it's just it's natural, and something happens."- Spencer Jones   Hear more about: Burnout is often about being drained, not overworked: Many people feel exhausted because their energy is leaking through misalignment, toxic beliefs, or unhealthy environments and not because they're doing too much. Internal belief systems are the biggest energy vampires: Self-judgment, the need to prove worth, and guilt around rest drain more energy than external people or circumstances. Energy sovereignty starts with repairing leaks before adding more habits: Meditation, exercise, or motivation won't stick if underlying energy leaks aren't addressed first.  Alignment determines whether energy fuels or depletes you: Even "good" opportunities can be draining if they're not aligned with your values, nervous system, and authentic self.  Small shifts create sustainable energy gains: Tools like breathwork and quick "energy audits" help raise your energy incrementally without overwhelm.  Play, fun, and authenticity are performance multipliers: When people operate in flow, doing what feels natural and joyful, impact, creativity, and fulfillment increase dramatically.   Connect with Jason Meland: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland

War Room Trump Weighs Iran Strikes, FBI Raids WaPo Reporter & Renee Good ICE Agent Suffered Internal Bleeding After She Rammed Him, As Lunatic Left's Anti-ICE Uprising Continues

For months, and most aggressively in its final public posture, the Department of Justice told the public that Jeffrey Epstein acted alone, that there were no co-conspirators worth pursuing, and that the case was effectively closed because the evidence led nowhere else. That claim was presented as the product of exhaustive investigation, a sober conclusion reached after following every lead. But the unsealed Epstein files expose that narrative as a manufactured endpoint, not a factual one. The DOJ's public insistence that Epstein was a lone predator directly contradicts its own internal records, which show prosecutors and investigators repeatedly discussing other individuals, logistical facilitators, and potential co-conspirators. These weren't vague references or speculative names. The emails reveal active consideration of witnesses who could implicate others, debates over how far the investigation should go, and deliberate choices to narrow the scope of exposure. In public, the DOJ spoke in absolutes. In private, they spoke in contingencies. That gap is the story.The newly unsealed emails make clear that the absence of co-conspirators was not a discovery, it was a decision. Prosecutors expressed concern about expanding the case, about the consequences of naming or charging others, and about preserving agreements that would collapse under scrutiny if the full picture came out. Internal communications reference ongoing leads, cooperation strategies, and awareness that Epstein's crimes required infrastructure and assistance, yet none of that translated into indictments or even transparent explanations. Instead, the DOJ retroactively sold inaction as resolution. By the time officials told the public there was “no evidence” of co-conspirators, their own records showed they had stopped looking long before the evidence ran out. The unsealed emails don't just undermine the DOJ's claim, they obliterate it. What was framed as a lack of proof was, in reality, a lack of will, and the insistence that Epstein operated alone now reads less like a conclusion and more like a cover story built to survive public scrutiny rather than judicial review.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00037366.pdf

In this wide-ranging and intense episode, Tara connects two seemingly separate stories that reveal a deeper pattern of institutional breakdown—inside American schools and across the global stage. The show begins with firsthand reports from teachers and parents about alarming behavior in high school bathrooms, including vaping, explicit photo sharing, and the serious legal consequences many families don't realize exist. Tara explains why even top-performing schools are installing bathroom gates and posting strict signage—and why some parents are urgently seeking alternatives. From there, the episode pivots to international developments, as the U.S. State Department issues an urgent warning for Americans to leave Iran immediately, amid mass protests, civilian deaths, and growing geopolitical tension. Tara walks through competing policy approaches, past U.S. decisions, and why Iran's internal instability is once again shaping global security concerns.

In this episode, Ray Sclafani dives into the concept of transfers of trust and how advisory firms can design client confidence beyond a single advisor. As firms scale, trust often remains concentrated around the founder or lead advisor, creating fragility and limiting growth. Ray explains how high-performing teams transition to shared advisory models, where multiple advisors and specialists collectively deliver advice, creating enduring client confidence, stability, and enterprise value.You'll learn practical strategies to expand trust externally to clients, introduce advisors effectively, and build a team-centered approach that strengthens relationships and supports long-term growth.Key Takeaways Trust often concentrates around one advisor, which can make growth fragile.External transfers of trust occur when clients expand confidence from one advisor to the broader team.Internal transfers of trust involve founders delegating authority, credibility, and leadership to the next generation.Shared advisory models create client experiences that feel stable and enduring, rather than dependent on one person.Designing trust intentionally improves client retention, referrals, and long-term firm stability.Questions Financial Advisors Often AskQ: What is a transfer of trust? A: Transfers of trust describe the process of moving client confidence from a single advisor to the broader advisory team. It ensures the client experiences multiple advisors as capable, credible, and worthy of trust.Q: Why is it important to transfer trust beyond the lead advisor? A: When trust is concentrated with one person, the firm is vulnerable. Expanding trust to the team creates stability, scale, and endurance, ensuring clients continue to feel supported even if the lead advisor is unavailable.Q: How do high-performing advisory teams expand trust? A: They operate as interdependent ensembles, with distinct roles such as lead advisor, planning specialist, investment partner, and relationship manager. Each advisor contributes advice and expertise, allowing clients to experience the team's credibility collectively.Q: How can advisors identify which clients need more exposure to the team? A: Advisors can categorize clients into advocates, engaged clients, and at-risk clients. Advocates can help reinforce the team's credibility, engaged clients adapt naturally to new advisors, and at-risk clients may need more time and attention for trust to expand.Find Ray and the ClientWise Team on the ClientWise website or LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeTo join one of the largest digital communities of financial advisors, visit exchange.clientwise.com.

SOVIET SUBJUGATION, FAMINE, AND THE DESTRUCTION OF INDEPENDENCE Colleague Professor Eugene Finkel. Following the empire's collapse, Ukrainians attempted to form independent states (UNR and ZUNR), but these failed due to internal weakness and external aggression from Bolsheviks and Poles. Finkel describes the subsequent Soviet era, highlighting the Holodomor—a purposeful famine engineered by Stalin in the early 1930s to break Ukrainian resistance and extract grain for industrialization, killing millions. This brutality left Ukraine decimated before World War II, where it became a battleground for Hitler and Stalin. The Soviet victory reinforced the myth that controlling Ukraine was essential for Moscow's security and economy. NUMBER 31913 UKRAINE
