Hey! This means you kids get to see it soon, along with some other stuff (right? Am I remembering this right?) that's not presently available (is this wrong?).    (At time of air) - Ape Canyon is screening at the Kiggins Theatre in just a few days!

They'll all call you Subscribe-o   —   Monsteropolis: Turtle Town. A sub neighborhood of Monsteropolis, like Ape Street, Octopus Alley and Thunderbird Boulevard. Let's do these the whole show instead of the show. Bigfoot Borough. Turtle Town is a quaint little (big) neighborhood. And it's gotta be big, because it's full of real big turtles. Not Ninja Turtle big, those guys were big but like size of a bus big, eat your house big, ride across the ocean on their backs if you forged an unbreakable bond with them by saving their home land from a dragon big, stuff like that.    TURTLES are REPTILES. They live in the WATER, but they breathe AIR. They have SHELLS. What a WEIRD ANIMAL.    If you think about it, turtles are almost like their own cryptid already. Not as weird as the Platypus but still pretty weird. I mean. Shells? Some of them live to be super old too, like 100 years or so.    Intrinsic weirdness aside, there are a lot of legends and cryptid encounters associated with turtles.    THE WORLD TURTLE - Present in a lot of mythologies. Basically the idea is that the WHOLE WORLD sits on top of the back of a giant turtle. Turtle world. Turtle Planet.    The oldest version we know about seems to come from Hindu mythology. The god Vishnu appears in the avatar of a giant turtle named Kurma, which had a mountain on its back.    It also popped up, seemingly independently in First Nations lore, such as the Iroquois and Lenape, who portray it as a giant sea turtle.    It's cool to think of ancient societies observing the world around them and going, “Oh yeah, all this is on a turtle.” If you think about how they would have observed turtles in the wild, you know, algae and stuff growing on their backs, they kind of look like little models of earth.    Historians and scholars also talk about themes that would likely have been in play, such as longevity and continuation, which were important to some of the First Nations tribes and really have been important to human societies for most of history. People would have noticed that turtles lived a long time and also kind of represent security and strength. That's cool.    https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/world-turtle-cosmic-discworld   THE BEAST OF BUSCO - A big old turtle legend from Indiana. Local to Churubusco, Whitley County, Indiana, also referred to by the nickname Turtle Town, which I did not know when I tentatively named this episode. According to one online source, the nickname originally stems from ‘Little Turtle,' the name of a sagamore (chief) of the Miami tribe, but it's later become associated with the giant turtle sighting at Fulk Lake.   First sighting is said to come from 1898 by a guy named Oscar Fulk who spotted it on a large lake on his property. Like, really large, 7 acres apparently.  FIFTY YEARS went by. Then in 1948, two men named Ora Blue (that's a name right there) and Charley Wilson were fishing on the same lake, when they reported seeing a similar creature - just a huge, huge turtle, which they described as looking like a snapping turtle with huge spiky shell “the size of a dinner table,” and now all I can think about is Bowser from Mario Bros.  Gale Harris, who owned the property at the time of the second sighting, got really into the whole thing, and launched multiple expeditions to try and capture it, including one wherein he drained the 7 acre lake. They tried nets and damming streams and all kinds of stuff. They never found the turtle and it nearly bankrupted him.  The local media picked it up a few months after the Blue/Wilson encounter, and it became another Cryptozoological staple. Thrill seekers, monster hunters and now internet weirdos (like us!) became fascinated with the story, and it hangs around in the new millennium.  Turtle Brother is supposed to be around 500 pounds. Adult male alligator snapping turtles (the ones we know for sure exist) can hit over 200 pounds, so maybe Busco Boy was just a really really big turtle, but you gotta wonder how he got that big. By the same token, alligator snapping turtles aren't supposed to live in Indiana, so if it were one of those, it would represent its own anomalous encounter on par with Phantom Big Cats and other out-of-place animals. Some natural historians don't think they ever lived there at all, though specimens have been seen as close as the White River in Morgan County, as recently as 1991, but experts posit that this was likely an escaped or released domestic specimen based on its growth pattern. So, shrugging emoji.  https://www.iflscience.com/the-beast-of-busco-the-mystery-of-indianas-500-pound-turtle-sightings-75278 https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/could-citizens-of-this-indiana-town-have-seen-a-500-pound-turtle-180984659/ The Ogua - Another big old turtle guy but this one has two heads (sometimes)! Two head turtle, Turtle Two Head, Turtle Tim and The Two Headed Ogua, I don't know, this would make a great kids movie though. A lot of cryptid stories would make good kids' movies.  Anyway though, this guy shows up in Virginia and Pennsylvania and Ohioooooo, right near you guys. Aleghenny and Monongahela rivers apparently.  Did you, did you check for turtles? Turtle check? When you went outside today? Watch out for this guy because he's- Twenty feet long! That's longer than cars. 500 pounds. Does this seem too long? Like shouldn't something that long weigh more? Unless he's like a really slim cigar shaped turtle? I dunno, I'm not good at math, maybe somebody can figure out what a twenty foot long thing that's also 500 pounds would look like and draw it.  Story goes that in 1745 (before the Revolution) a giant two headed turtle jumped out of the river and ate a 12 year old boy who was fishing. Which is kind of how alligators and predatory turtles hunt you know, like hiding right under the surface. Bummer.  There are supposed to be sightings “all over Marion county” according to online sources but specifics are spotty. Did you guys SEE the Ogua when you were children? Were you WARNED not to get EATEN by two headed turtles? So could any of these guys actually exist? Maybe not the world turtle one unless we're just gonna decide that that's real. I like it so I'm good with it.  The biggest turtle ever known to exist was the Archelon Ischyros, a sea turtle that grew up to 15 feet long and was believed to weigh up to three tons.  See that's what I was saying earlier - something 20 feet long would need to weigh more than 500 pounds. BUT an especially large Alligator Snapping turtle could, maybe, possibly, be MISTAKEN for weighing 500 pounds, or maybe actually weigh close to that much. There are people who are way taller than the average person so it probably happens with turtles. It could be a whole thing where there just were some really big turtles hanging out in these areas and witnesses mistook them for being 20 feet long.  What they're doing in Indiana and Ohio though is another mystery.  Ultimately it's not a question of whether turtles this size/near this size existed - it's a question of whether or not one matching the anatomy of a snapping turtle could get this large, and if it could/did ever exist in some of these northern parts of the country, AND if they could still be hanging around in the modern day. We're essentially talking about dinosaurs here - should the “turtle cryptids” be thought of the same way we think about Plesiosaurs and other “surviving dinosaur” stories? Is this just too many questions?  We're also talking about behaviors really closely associated with gators/crocs (the ambush hunting) so maybe there were some stories about alligators that got mixed up and turned into stories about turtles, but that seems like a stupid guess now that I'm typing it out. And also alligators aren't supposed to be in Ohio or Indiana either.  SOME POP CULTURE REFERENCES - Plenty of giant turtles in Pop Culture. There's that Gamera guy, and the smaller Toho kaiju Kameobas from the cult film Yog: Monster from Space (Kameobas also shows up in Godzilla: Tokyo SOS, 2004). There's the giant turtle from Aladdin and King of Thieves, always liked that guy. The Pokemon Torterra is pretty clearly a take on the World Turtle idea (got trees and mountains on his back and in the Detective Pikachu movie he's the size of a mountain). There's this video game called Fortnite you may have heard of. Giant turtle in there as a part of the Oni/Ninja theme they did for season whatever it was - is that guy still around? I haven't played in awhile. He was cool though you could hide in the trees on his back and find really crappy shotguns and then get killed by a much better player who already figured out that's a bad strategy.  — Thanks for listening everybody!

As parents, we dream of raising kids who are self-sufficient, driven, and living with purpose—not just checking boxes or chasing paychecks. In this episode, Scott Schimmel flips the script on how we talk to our kids about their future. Instead of asking, “What do you want to do when you grow up?” he challenges us to ask something much deeper:

TL;DR: Today we're releasing a new episode of our Thought Leaders podcast that unpacks the practical side of growing a values-led agency. Dion Besser explains how he stabilised a team that tripled overnight, balanced culture with accountability, and kept clients loyal through volatile markets. Listen on YouTube, Apple Podcasts or Spotify—and sign up to get it in your inbox each week. Dion Besser has spent more than two decades living what keeps a real estate business steady when markets, regulations, and staffing levels change simultaneously. After gaining experience in London, he returned to Melbourne to found Besser & Co., where a 2022 acquisition saw his staff list jump from eight to 24 in a single day. Instead of patching problems on the fly, he doubled down on a simple playbook: start with clear values, document the right way to work, and let those guardrails drive performance. Today, that 20-strong crew runs on transparency, honest feedback, and a habit of celebrating small wins. In this conversation, Dion explains how he hires, trains, and motivates people so that the next growth spurt feels orderly, not chaotic. “Most of the skills in real estate can be taught. What I look for is trust, loyalty, openness, accountability, drive.” Values come first—hire for character, train for skill Dion screens candidates with personality tests to see how they handle feedback before they even start. If they push back, they won't suit an environment built on constructive candour. With values aligned, new hires step straight into detailed playbooks—everything from rent reviews to auction campaigns—so expectations never feel fuzzy. Culture is a journey—celebrate wins before cracks widen “It really is a journey for our clients and it's a journey for our staff.” When an acquisition stretched the team, morale dipped until Dion formed a “Culture Collective” that meets monthly to spotlight quick victories—five-star reviews, seamless VCAT cases, record rent per square metre—and flag tension early. Regular recognition reset the mood and curbed turnover. Intrinsic meets extrinsic—design rewards beyond the paycheck “Find out what motivates them, and help them achieve that.” Commission still matters, but Dion ties KPIs to personal goals like clearing tasks daily or making 80 calls a week. When agents hit targets they set themselves, the reward lands deeper than trophies—and retention climbs because progress feels personal. Patience and persistence—guide clients through choppy markets “If you can't take your clients on a longer journey, you'll find yourself losing business.” With Melbourne prices wobbling and tenancy laws changing, Besser coaches his team to prep vendors and landlords for longer campaigns. Clear timelines, frequent check-ins and upfront reality checks convert possible frustration into trust—even when the news isn't great. Own your agency choice—interview the interviewer “Ask a potential employer: What path to success do you have for me?” For newcomers eyeing 2025, Dion flips the script: treat job interviews like due diligence. If an office can't outline a documented growth track—training, database strategy, social-media playbook—move on. The right environment, he says, is half the battle.

In this episode Doreen and Jeff discuss the Fresh Start Effect. It's that Intrinsic power of starting over and fresh. There are moments that promote this like a birthday, the New year and even a divorce. This is why so many people experience this start fresh mind set throughout even other milestones and other times, like a new semester in school, a new sports season (elaborate on…) , a new job, the birth of a child, a wedding, or even a death. These are all times when something ends and something new begins. Well divorce can also, and research shows does have this same intrinsic power to ignite this power inside that comes with something ending and something new beginning. The Fresh Start Effect is very alive and available to you from your divorce.

In this eye-opening conversation, we sit down with Simone Stolzoff, author of The Good Enough Job, to explore why modern work culture traps so many of us in cycles of burnout, identity crises, and unrealistic ambition. Drawing on research and personal experience, Simone challenges the “dream job” myth and offers a liberating framework: redefine success on your terms. We explore the dangers of workism, the importance of building an identity outside of your career, and the power of setting clear boundaries. For high-achievers who feel stuck on the hedonic treadmill, this episode offers a roadmap to a more balanced, meaningful life — without abandoning your ambition. [00:00:00] Introduction [00:02:26] The real meaning of a “good enough job” — and why it's not about slacking off [00:08:16] The rise of workism: why your job became your identity [00:13:33] The difference between boundaries and guardrails — and why we need both [00:21:14] The myth of the dream job (and why passion usually follows skill, not the other way around) [00:27:41] How to rebuild an identity outside of work and escape workaholism [00:39:28] The surprising reason people at both ends of the ambition spectrum struggle [00:50:00] Why defining your “enough” number is the antidote to endless striving [00:56:08] Simone's personal lesson: why time autonomy is his ultimate luxury Episode Takeaways: Your job should support your life, not become your life. Stop chasing perfection — a “good enough” job can free you to thrive in other areas that matter. Identity is like an investment portfolio: diversify it beyond just work. Intrinsic motivation (mastery, purpose, autonomy) beats external markers of success. Define your personal “enough” — financially, emotionally, and professionally — or risk falling into the endless “more” trap. Play, beginner's mindset, and non-work communities are secret weapons for resilience. Tired of awkward handshakes and collecting business cards without building real connections?

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, Rob speaks to Romain Tourillon who discusses the misconceptions around general understanding, testing and training of the foot and ankle sports performance and rehabilitation. Romain shares insights from his PhD research, emphasizing the roles of intrinsic and extrinsic muscles, the significance of holistic evaluation methods, and the need for dynamic training protocols. He highlights that although isometric training has a big place in the training of the foot and ankle, its not the only tool in the toolbox. He dives into the different testing protocols which target the various different areas of the foot based on its function. Romain goes into detail on soleus, tibialis anterior and tibialis posterior testing, citing his work with the Royal Ballet as an example of how these protocols can improve an organisations testing battery. Main talking points: Intrinsic muscles are often overemphasized in training Extrinsic muscles play a larger role in force production Dynamic contractions, not just isometrics are necessary for building calf strength Isometric training alone is insufficient for optimal performance The foot and ankle are frequently underloaded in training regimens How to assess the soleus, tibialis anterior and tibialis posterior

Not All Tesla is Tesla. What Tesla means to people has shifted drastically. It's a shibboleth in our culture. From the darling of the green left to the “Swasticar,” you're now considered a villain if you drive a Tesla, particularly a Cybertruck. We don't understand Elon Musk until we get a grip on South Africa and her unapologetic males. South Africans have not been run through the American/European "plastic extruder" that removes manhood from them. We as a nation have lost manhood. South African males typically have this attitude: there is absolutely nothing that they can't do. It's an endearing trait. There are many things you can say about Elon, but he does demonstrate irrefragable masculinity. Intrinsic to that trait is a can-do positive confidence. There is an optimism about him that causes him in most things to come through.Purchasing a Tesla used to be a way of widening your phylacteries. It was a symbol of progressive ideology. Now it is a right-wing middle finger. Being a Tesla owner is a legitimate risk to your safety. It is increasingly possible that the left is going to lose their mind so badly that they are going to create a revolution. What is going to happen? Will the center hold? And then there is the woke right and their millenarian crusader vengeance fantasies.There is a fundamental truth about violence: it is like fire. Once you start it, you can't control it.***Mentioned in the show: the evolving simplicity of SpaceX's Raptor engine.This video covers his interview at Satellite 2020:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iD0bcsAXaic***Out of Our Minds Podcast: Pastors Who Say What They Think.

Intrinsic motivation thrives when individuals feel a senseof authority over their roles and responsibilities. By granting employeesownership of outcomes and the authority to make decisions that affect theirwork, organizations empower them to take initiative, innovate, and take pridein their contributions. According to the Institute for Health and ProductivityStudies at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, increasingemployees' physical activity can lead to a healthier workforce, boostproductivity, and reduce the risk of developing expensive and debilitatingchronic diseases. Physically active employees incur lower healthcare costs,take less sick leave, and are more productive at work. Specifically, researchindicates that employees who engage in at least 75 minutes ofvigorous-intensity physical activity each week miss an average of 4.1 fewerdays of work per year. Furthermore, those who are physically inactive are morelikely to require sick leave, costing an average of 26 cents for each hourworked. Justin Martinez is a former U.S. Army Ranger who hastransitioned into being an entrepreneur, author, and personal transformationexpert.

Strava can be a great source of motivation as it gamification of the sport of running, but can there be some downsides to the app? While it can be fun to scroll through and see what friends are doing for runs, does it promote constant comparison? In Jan 2023 I started to feel like people were ‘watching' my training as I geared up for Boston 3 months postpartum from baby number 3.. Were people actually watching?

What in the world is intrinsically good — good in itself even if it has no other effects? Over the millennia, people have offered many answers: joy, justice, equality, accomplishment, loving god, wisdom, and plenty more.The question is a classic that makes for great dorm-room philosophy discussion. But it's hardly just of academic interest. The issue of what (if anything) is intrinsically valuable bears on every action we take, whether we're looking to improve our own lives, or to help others. The wrong answer might lead us to the wrong project and render our efforts to improve the world entirely ineffective.Today's guest, Sharon Hewitt Rawlette — philosopher and author of The Feeling of Value: Moral Realism Grounded in Phenomenal Consciousness — wants to resuscitate an answer to this question that is as old as philosophy itself.Rebroadcast: this episode was originally released in September 2022.Links to learn more, highlights, and full transcript.That idea, in a nutshell, is that there is only one thing of true intrinsic value: positive feelings and sensations. And similarly, there is only one thing that is intrinsically of negative value: suffering, pain, and other unpleasant sensations.Lots of other things are valuable too: friendship, fairness, loyalty, integrity, wealth, patience, houses, and so on. But they are only instrumentally valuable — that is to say, they're valuable as means to the end of ensuring that all conscious beings experience more pleasure and other positive sensations, and less suffering.As Sharon notes, from Athens in 400 BC to Britain in 1850, the idea that only subjective experiences can be good or bad in themselves — a position known as ‘philosophical hedonism' — has been one of the most enduringly popular ideas in ethics.And few will be taken aback by the notion that, all else equal, more pleasure is good and less suffering is bad. But can they really be the only intrinsically valuable things?Over the 20th century, philosophical hedonism became increasingly controversial in the face of some seemingly very counterintuitive implications. For this reason the famous philosopher of mind Thomas Nagel called The Feeling of Value “a radical and important philosophical contribution.”So what convinces Sharon that philosophical hedonism deserves another go? In today's interview with host Rob Wiblin, Sharon explains the case for a theory of value grounded in subjective experiences, and why she believes these counterarguments are misguided. A philosophical hedonist shouldn't get in an experience machine, nor override an individual's autonomy, except in situations so different from the classic thought experiments that it no longer seems strange they would do so.Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Rob's intro (00:00:41)The interview begins (00:04:27)Metaethics (00:05:58)Anti-realism (00:12:21)Sharon's theory of moral realism (00:17:59)The history of hedonism (00:24:53)Intrinsic value vs instrumental value (00:30:31)Egoistic hedonism (00:38:12)Single axis of value (00:44:01)Key objections to Sharon's brand of hedonism (00:58:00)The experience machine (01:07:50)Robot spouses (01:24:11)Most common misunderstanding of Sharon's view (01:28:52)How might a hedonist actually live (01:39:28)The organ transplant case (01:55:16)Counterintuitive implications of hedonistic utilitarianism (02:05:22)How could we discover moral facts?

As we kick off 2025, many dieters are setting ambitious weight loss resolutions — hoping this year will be the one they finally achieve their goal, but the truth is, only 9% will actually be successful.   So what do those successful 9% know that the other 91% don't?   The secret often lies in understanding the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.   In this episode, we dive into these two powerful forces driving human behavior.   Intrinsic motivation comes from within—you're motivated by personal satisfaction, a sense of accomplishment, or the joy of healthy living. When you tap into intrinsic motivation, weight loss becomes about more than just the number on the scale; it's about feeling better by living in alignment with your values.   On the flip side, extrinsic motivation relies on external rewards like praise, attention, acceptance, etc. While these can give you a temporary boost, they're unsustainable in the long run.   Join us as we explore how to balance both types of motivation so you can stay on track and turn your dream into a reality.   From finding joy in the process to setting realistic external milestones, you'll learn how to tap into the power of both motivations to create lasting change and finally achieve your weight loss resolution.   Ready to make 2025 your year?

Josh and I talked about a few aspects of his acting on his commitment from the Spodek Method. For one thing, since he and I both study, practice, and teach leadership, we talked about the technique, how it works, how it impacted him. Since leadership involves emotion, empathy, and related social and emotional skills, we talked about the emotional journey.If you ever want to infuriate me, maybe the most effective way is to get me talking about environmentalists who talk only science and policy, just what they consider the facts that make them right. They try to browbeat people into doing what they don't do themselves, as if integrity, credibility, and personal, hands-on, practical experience didn't matter for leading others. They're essential. Oops, I could feel the fury rising.Josh and I talk about what works in leading and influencing others. Listening works more than lecturing. Empathy more than instruction. Intrinsic motivation over extrinsic.Also we talked about finding and experiencing the beauty of nature, including something of his Kauai experience in Chicago, not despite but in part because he picked up litter too. As always, once people start picking it up, they find more than they thought, including in places they pass daily. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A world where the human element, long considered the weakest link in security, becomes the cornerstone of an impenetrable digital fortress.The latest episode of the Human Centered sub-series on the Redefining CyberSecurity podcast features a compelling discussion with Nadine Michaelides, a security and crime psychologist, researcher at University College London, speaker, and entrepreneur. Julie Haney co-hosts the episode with Sean Martin, discussing the critical role employees play in strengthening cybersecurity defenses.Nadine Michaelides shares her insights on the shift from viewing employees as potential risks to recognizing them as essential components of a robust cybersecurity strategy. This approach emphasizes the importance of understanding the human element in security and integrating psychological principles to improve employee engagement and motivation. Unlike purely technical measures, human-centered cybersecurity focuses on fostering intrinsic motivation and creating a culture where security is an integral part of daily operations.The conversation highlights the importance of moving beyond mere awareness campaigns. According to Michaelides, simply making employees aware of security risks is insufficient. Organizations must focus on creating intrinsic motivation, ensuring that employees understand and internalize the significance of their actions. This can be achieved through effective training, clear communication, and involving employees in security initiatives.Michaelides also introduces the concept of human risk management, which involves assessing and addressing the psychological and behavioral factors that influence cybersecurity. She stresses the need for a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating insights from psychology, sociology, and organizational behavior to create comprehensive security strategies. This holistic approach helps organizations identify and mitigate risks more effectively, as it considers the diverse motivations and behaviors of employees.Sean Martin raises an interesting point about how personal risk assessments can parallel organizational security measures. He suggests that just as individuals assess the risks associated with their actions and make informed decisions, organizations should empower employees to understand and manage their own cybersecurity risks. This empowerment can lead to more proactive and responsible security behaviors.The discussion also touches on the significance of cultural factors in cybersecurity. Michaelides explains that security initiatives must resonate with the cultural values and norms of the workforce to be truly effective.

Approach your goals with a sense of inner worth and fullness rather than seeking external validation. Effective fundraising involves aligning donors' values with the cause and communicating a transformative vision.

On Episode 249, Emily Kircher-Morris chats with Diane Dempster and Elaine Taylor-Klaus from Impact Parents, hosts of the Parenting with Impact podcast. They talk about the challenge of motivating neurodivergent kids, and break down why it's challenging. The chat includes a framework called PINCH, a way to remember and think about important elements of motivation. You'll come away with practical strategies for parents to foster a supportive environment that encourages engagement, and ways to move away from fear and stress as motivators. Takeaways Traditional parenting advice often doesn't apply to neurodivergent kids. Motivation can be misunderstood; it's not always lack of interest. Executive functioning skills play a crucial role in motivation. Dopamine is essential for engaging in non-preferred tasks. Fear-based parenting creates stress and is not sustainable. Intrinsic motivation develops later in life, especially for neurodivergent individuals. The PINCH framework helps identify different motivators for kids. Interest in a subject can significantly boost motivation. Competition can motivate but may also cause anxiety in some children. Collaboration and connection with peers can enhance motivation. Parents should experiment with different motivational strategies. Transparency and vulnerability in parenting can build trust. Elaine Taylor-Klaus and Diane Dempster co-founded ImpactParents.com in 2011 because traditional parenting advice wasn't working for their complex kids and they found no training or coaching available designed specifically to support them as parents of complex kids. Internationally recognized as leading parent educators, they use a coach-approach to help parents reduce the stress of raising children, teens, and young adults with ADHD, Anxiety, Autism, LD and more. They're the creators of Sanity School® behavior training, and the authors of many books including Parenting ADHD Now: Easy Intervention Strategies to Empower Kids with ADHD and The Essential Guide to Raising Complex Kids with ADHD, Anxiety and More.
