EPISODE 765 - Barb Rebon - A journey through trauma, faith, and ultimately self-acceptanceIn this episode, guest Barb Rebon shares her deeply personal journey from a childhood dream of becoming a nun to embracing her true self after decades of inner conflict. Originally from Tampa, Florida, Barb entered the convent at 16 with the Disciples of Jesus and Mary in Boston, drawn by a longing for the family and safety she lacked at home amid abuse, dysfunction, and her mother's witchcraft practices. Despite rigid rules—no close friendships, daily prayers from 5 a.m., studies, and media work like printing presses—she formed a taboo bond with an older nun, sparking confusion over her emerging feelings toward women while grappling with trauma.Barb left after 18 months but persisted, later joining her dream order, the Sisters of Saint Francis of Sales, in 1989 after a rare exception from the Mother General in Rome waived their parental marriage requirement. In New Jersey, familiar surroundings brought temporary peace, yet doubts resurfaced—questioning attractions to men, clashing with superiors, leading to her exit at 20. She remained close to the sisters for eight years, burying a haunting secret experience that intensified her shame.Moving to Irwin, Pennsylvania, in 1999 for a secret relationship with a woman marked further turmoil; even family queries were denied amid guilt rooted in faith. At 45, Barb finally voiced "I am gay" to a supportive friend, breaking years of silence on sexuality, self-harm, and pain. Now 56 and a school teacher, she refuses the closet, hoping her memoir—releasing by late May for Pride Month—fosters understanding.Key Takeaway: Silence amplifies torment, but voicing your truth to a trusted ally can liberate you—embrace who you are without shame.Barbara Rebon has spent more than three decades shaping young lives as a passionate and compassionate educator. Known for her creativity and quiet strength, she has built classrooms where students feel safe, valued, and understood during some of the most important years of their development. Her work has always centered on lifting others, even while carrying a story of her own that remained largely unseen.Behind that steady presence was a silence rooted in a childhood marked by abuse, neglect, and betrayal. That silence followed her into adulthood, influencing her sense of identity, her faith, and the way she navigated the world. In environments where truth felt unsafe, she learned to protect herself by holding it in, convincing herself that silence was safer than being fully known.Now living in Pennsylvania after growing up in Florida, Barbara continues her work as an educator while stepping into a new purpose as a voice for those still navigating their own silence. Through her story, she offers more than reflection. She offers hope, showing that even after years of being unheard, your voice still matters and your story is never finished.https://www.motivationchamps.com/authors/barb-rebon/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca
Esperanza and Irwin welcome Maziar Behrooz, of MB Architecture in Sag Harbor. We cover much ground in this podcast, learning what brought Maziar out to the east end, and his thoughts on all things architecture. But the podcast really gets going with Maziar's concept of mitigating very large new construction on very small Sag Harbor Village lots. An unrealistic concept, or too good to be true? Listening is Believing.
It seems like chatting-it-up is part of Maritime culture. People love to talk, even with strangers. So, Jax Irwin has made a delightful gig of this friendly way of life. She's a Toronto broadcaster who is originally from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. On her social media, she calls random East Coast phone numbers, numbers in the 902 area code, and chitchats with whoever answers. We talk to her about what some of those conversations are, and why she calls herself a ‘phone call enthusiast.”
No início de 1899, a Associação Geral da Igreja Adventista tinha em caixa cinquenta e cinco dólares e trinta e três centavos. No fim daquele ano, o déficit operacional era de 9.529 dólares. No início de 1901, tinha subido para 41.589. E o relatório de Allen Moon à Sessão de 1899 registrava a consequência que não era contábil: em dois anos, nenhuma obra nova havia sido aberta em nenhuma parte do mundo. Era essa a igreja que George Alexander Irwin presidiu de 1897 a 1901. Ele terminou o mandato convencido de que havia fracassado — e usou essa expressão. Quatro meses depois de deixar o cargo, a igreja que ele sustentou aprovou a maior reforma administrativa de sua história, sem cisma. A tese desta aula: a liderança liminar é estruturalmente impossível de avaliar dentro do próprio mandato, porque seu resultado só se manifesta no mandato seguinte. Irwin não estava sendo humilde ao julgar-se fracassado. Estava aplicando a régua errada — a de um mandato de construção a um mandato de sustentação. Neste episódio: o fato que os materiais didáticos omitiam — Irwin não apenas sobreviveu a Andersonville, converteu-se dentro dela, lendo Richard Baxter; e quem entende isso entende tudo o que a historiografia depois chamou de falta de brilho, porque um homem que já viu o que acontece quando a ordem se desfaz não tem entusiasmo pela ruptura. A eleição em Ohio, decidida pela frase de O. A. Olsen no campmeeting — que o homem capaz de tirar o paletó e cravar estacas de tenda o dia inteiro daria um bom presidente. A fundação de Oakwood, em 1895, por um veterano da União que marchara sob Sherman pela Geórgia, num Sul onde a segregação se consolidava. A viagem de 1899 à Austrália, em que o presidente desceu na estação errada, despachou a mala na carroça do colégio e caminhou seis quilômetros e meio até Avondale — e viu, dezoito meses antes da reforma, o protótipo da estrutura que substituiria a dele. E um bloco inteiro sobre a citação mais deformada da história adventista. Circula a frase de que "a Associação Geral já não é mais a voz de Deus". A aula reconstrói o que Ellen White de fato escreveu, com localização precisa: a Carta 4 de 1896, sobre a voz vinda de Battle Creek; a Carta 77 de 26 de agosto de 1898; o discurso de 2 de abril de 1901; e a qualificação posterior, de 1909, em Testimonies for the Church, vol. 9, pp. 260-261, onde ela distingue a voz de um pequeno grupo de homens da autoridade de uma assembleia representativa devidamente constituída. A crítica dela era pró-representativa, não anti-institucional — e a frase que os dissidentes usam contra a estrutura foi escrita em defesa da estrutura correta. Fecha com a análise tipológica integral, o diálogo com Weber e Burke, e as aplicações para estrutura de liderança, sistema de governo, corpo ministerial e membresia. Fontes - WHITE, Ellen G.

Tom Whitehouse, a wildlife conservationist, has spent more than 20 years working with dangerous reptiles, mammals and birds in the zoo and wildlife industry. Today he runs Coastal Wildlife Management. In a single day he might relocate a red bellied black snake out of a family's laundry, carve a habitat hollow into a living tree, and manage feral cats through a thermal scope at two in the morning. We explore the impact feral cats, foxes, pigs, deer and wild dogs have on Australian wildlife, agriculture and the environment, and how thermal imaging, night vision and trapping help conservationists track and manage them. Tom also clears up some common misunderstandings about snake behaviour. A large part of his focus is rebuilding habitat. He explains why mature trees and natural hollows are critical for so many Australian species, and how new tools can carve artificial hollows into living trees to house birds, possums, gliders and other native species. We also get into professional conservation work versus recreational hunting, humane control methods, and whether Australia is doing enough before the damage becomes irreversible.

It’s our 500th episode! Wow! Thanks to Rosie, Remy and Julien, and Dylan, Emily, and Michelle for their suggestions this week! Further reading: Crikey! Newly Discovered Snake Species Named After Steve Irwin Steve Irwin’s Treesnail A young Steve Irwin’s tree snail [photo taken from link above]: A marbled lungfish: A fennec, smallest and cutest of all foxes: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we have a brand new episode, because it's episode 500! Congratulations to me and to you too, listening to the 500th episode of a podcast! That doesn't happen very often! Despite the big 5-0-0, I'm going to treat this like a regular episode. Thanks to Dylan, Emily, and Michelle, Remy and Julien, and Rosie for their suggestions this week! We'll start with Dylan, Emily, and Michelle, who live in Australia. A while back now they got to visit the Australia Zoo, which is run by the Irwin family. Steve Irwin was a conservationist, science educator, and wildlife rehabilitator, also known as the Crocodile Hunter for his work relocating crocodiles who were endangering people, and vice versa. He died tragically young in 2006 but his wife and children continue his work. Michelle pointed out that Irwin has been honored by scientists who have named newly discovered animals for him, so let's learn about a few of them! The most recent one is a type of wolf snake discovered on the Great Nicobar Island off the coast of India and described in 2025, Lycodon irwini. It's mostly black in color with a slender body, and can grow as much as 47 inches long, or 119 cm. That's almost four feet long! Luckily it's non-venomous, plus it has only been found on that one island in evergreen forests, so you're not likely to run across one by accident. It probably eats small animals like frogs, but we don't know a whole lot about it yet. Back in 1990, Steve Irwin caught a strange turtle while fishing with his father, Bob, who was also a conservationist. Between them, the two men knew a whole lot about Australian wildlife but they didn't know what the turtle was. They sent pictures to a turtle expert, who determined that yes, it was a species new to science. It was described in 1997 and named Irwin's turtle, Elseya irwini. Irwin's turtle has a black and yellow carapace and lives in the lower part of the Burdekin River in northern Queensland. The female also has a light-colored head and other pale spots on the body. Like some other turtles, it can absorb oxygen from the water through its cloaca, which is often referred to as its butt. A chamber at the end of the cloaca contains structures that act like gills and absorb oxygen. This allows it to stay underwater longer, and in fact it can't survive in water that doesn't contain enough oxygen. As a result, Irwin's turtle is endangered due to habitat loss, especially from pollution and the damming of its river home. It used to be common but its numbers are in decline. The Australia Zoo started a captive breeding program to help conserve the species, and in 2023 they succeeded in hatching the very first Irwin's turtle babies ever bred in captivity. The last one is my favorite, a land snail named after Steve Irwin. It was described as a new species in 2009, only a few years after Irwin died, and was named Crikey steveirwini. It's the only species in the genus Crikey. It only lives in high altitudes in the tropical rainforests of northeastern Queensland. It's rare and not much is known about it, because it's so hard to find and so small. It has a cone-shaped shell that's striped with spiral bands of brown, yellow-brown, and white, and it only grows 15 mm long at most. Next, brothers Remy and Julien wanted to learn about the African lungfish. Lungfish are fascinating fish, because as you can probably guess from the name, they have gills but they also have lungs, and the fish needs both to get enough oxygen. Four species of lungfish live in Africa, all belonging to the family Protopteridae. They're eel-like in shape although they're not closely related to eels at all, with soft scales, and a dorsal fin that continues down the fish's back and continues around the end of the tail, since the dorsal fin and tail fin are actually fused into one big fin. Its only other fins are the pectoral and pelvic, which are very thin and are more like flexible legs than actual fins. The lungfish can actually crawl along the bottom of the swamp or lake with its fins, although it can also swim like an eel. While the African lungfish does have gills, they're small and are mostly associated with eliminating carbon dioxide instead of absorbing oxygen. The lungs do most of the work. The fish surfaces periodically to gulp fresh air into its lungs. It's one of the few fish that can drown if it can't surface for air. African lungfish eat insect larvae, especially of aquatic insects, crustaceans, mollusks, small fish, and frogs, but it can also sometimes eat seeds and other plant material. It usually lives in shallow water like swamps and small rivers, where there's not a lot of oxygen in the water. In many cases, its waterways dry up periodically, but the fish can still survive. As its water gets lower and lower, the lungfish digs into the mud and curls up, then secretes a thick mucus that helps retain moisture and stops its body from drying out. Its metabolism slows way down so it doesn't need to breathe very often, and it doesn't need to eat. It can survive this way for up to four years, although it usually only has to stay in its cocoon for a few months, until the rains return and its waterways fill up again. The smallest species of African lungfish is the East African lungfish, which only grows about 17 inches long, or 44 cm, while the largest is the marbled lungfish that can grow a whopping six and a half feet long, or two meters. Lastly, Rosie suggested we learn about the fennec fox, which lives in northern Africa. It's the smallest fox in the world, barely eight inches tall at the shoulder, or 20 cm, but it has incredibly large ears. Its ears can be as much as six inches long, or 15 cm. Part of the reason its ears are so big is so it can hear insects and other small animals moving around underground, but they're also big because they help dissipate heat from the fox's body into the air. Since the fennec lives in deserts, that's only one of many adaptations it has to the heat and lack of water. For instance, the fennec gets most of its water through the food it eats. It's also a nocturnal animal. The pads of its paws are protected by long, coarse hairs that grow between the pads, so hot sand won't burn its toe beans. The hair also gives the fox better traction in loose sand. The fennec's fur is a pale sandy color with a black tip to the tail, and it has dark eyes. It eats rodents, birds and their eggs, insects, scorpions, and other small animals, as well as fruit and other plant material. It can jump really far, some four feet in one bound, or 120 cm. Not only can it run really fast, it can change directions really quickly too. This helps it escape predators and catch prey. Fennecs can be social animals and like to play, even as adults. Pairs mate for life and both parents take care of the babies. A fennec's burrow can be very large and may even link up to neighboring fennec family burrow, so neighbors can visit each other without going out into the heat of the day.

In this inspiring episode of Caregiver S.O.S. On Air, hosts Ron Aaron and Carol Zernial sit down with Carol Rosenstein, an educator, pioneer in holistic mind-body medicine, and the founder of Music Mends Minds, Inc. Carol shares her deeply personal story as a caregiver for her late husband, Erwin, who lived with Parkinson’s disease and dementia for 15 years. After discovering how sitting at the piano instantly awakened Erwin's brain chemistry and restored his vitality without pharmaceuticals, Carol launched "The Fifth Dementia"—a band where seniors with neurodegenerative diseases make music alongside their caregivers. Together, the hosts and Carol explore how music acts as a universal, boundary-crossing language. They discuss the profound biological impact of melody and rhythm on the brain, how music can be used strategically to combat caregiver burnout, and how a global partnership with Rotary International is bringing free music programs to communities worldwide. Key Topics Covered: The Inspiration Behind Music Mends Minds: Carol Port Rosenstein recounts how her husband's dramatic positive response to playing the piano—even after being taken off synthetic Parkinson's medication—led to the discovery that music actively stimulates natural dopamine and changes brain chemistry. The Origin of "The Fifth Dementia" Band: How a launch gathering of strangers instantly united four seniors as "music brothers," spawning a flagship band and a national movement featured on PBS. The Resilience of Music Storage Cells: Why musical memory stays intact late into neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Carol explains how music storage cells formed in the human fetus remain hardy and resistant to brain cell destruction. Music as a Daily Caregiver Tool: Practical ways caregivers can use a loved one's favorite personalized playlist to regulate mood, manage agitation, improve compliance, and ease morning routines. Restoring Gait, Speech, and Movement: How rhythm acts as an internal metronome for Parkinson's patients, helping restore vocal cadence, physical movement, and confidence. Global Outreach and Free Resources: Details on Music Mends Minds' partnership with the Alzheimer's Dementia Rotary Action Group to scale in-person music groups globally, as well as their free tri-weekly Zoom music therapy sessions. Key Takeaways for Caregivers: Music Changes Brain Chemistry: Playing or listening to familiar music stimulates the remaining dopamine-producing cells in the brain, helping re-engage individuals with their environment. Music is "Medicine for the Mind": Unlike synthetic medications that come with complex side effects, music offers therapeutic benefits with only one side effect: pure joy. Use Personal Playlists for Daily Care: Caregivers can control the "mental temperature" of their care recipients by using upbeat music to encourage energetic wake-ups or calming music to soothe agitation. Rhythm Restores Function: Parkinson's patients lose their natural cadence; introducing rhythmic beats and shakers can help restore gait and assist with vocal exercise. A Daily Moment of Joy: Integrating music into caregiving creates an accessible opportunity for loved ones and caregivers to share a moment of joy every single day. About Carol Music Mends Minds, Inc. President and Founder, Carol Port Rosenstein, is an educator and pioneer in the field of holistic mind-body medicine. After her career as a chiropractor, she became interested in total mind-body health and acquired a Master's in Transformational Psychology to help her further delve into alternative and complementary medicine. Carol became very interested in the power of music as a form of acoustic art and therapy. After observing Irwin, her husband who had Parkinson’s and dementia, playing the piano on minimal medication, she watched him revive like a wilted flower being watered. Carol recognized the power of music changing brain chemistry, which eventually led to the formation of Music Mends Minds, Inc., and their flagship band the 5th Dementia. Carol continues to advocate for the power of music as medicine, which is corroborated by the scientific community to bring pure joy and increased brain function to patients suffering from neurodegenerative diseases, traumatic brain injury, stroke and PTSD, caregivers, and families at large.

What if sharing your faith had less to do with having the right answers and more to do with showing people what the love of Jesus actually looks like?In the first message of our new series, It's Not What You Know It's Who You Know, Ps Sue Irwin explores the practice of witness and why it begins with love. Through the story of Zacchaeus, we see Jesus offer dignity, acceptance, and relationship before Zacchaeus changes anything about his life. That encounter with grace transforms everything.Being a witness isn't about winning arguments or proving we're right. It's about sharing what we've experienced and allowing Christ's love to shape how we see and treat others, especially those we might normally overlook, judge, or avoid.In a world marked by division and quick judgement, we're invited to live differently: to listen, encourage, show kindness, and bring something of God's Kingdom into the ordinary places we find ourselves.This week, consider who might simply need your undivided attention and the dignity of being truly seen.
Jack Irwin was a 71-year-old Korean War veteran who lived a quiet, isolated life in a cabin on Mount Baldy, California. In 1999, he befriended Marcia Johnson and Judy Gellert, a couple interested in buying his cabin. The women quickly became close to Jack, eventually moved in with him, and gained access to his finances through a trust that would transfer his assets to them after his death. On September 13, 1999, Jack disappeared after Marcia claimed she dropped him at a train station with $5,000 and a change of clothes for a spontaneous trip to Seattle. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Jack Irwin. His neighbors and longtime friend Sandy Bailey immediately doubted the story, especially after Marcia and Judy stopped cooperating with investigators and began using Jack's money. The investigation eventually revealed that Marcia had made repeated withdrawals from Jack's accounts, bought vehicles, sold his property, and helped collect insurance money after his Mount Baldy cabin was destroyed in an arson fire.

Retail sales fell 0.6 percent, the biggest drop in over a year, and since those numbers are not adjusted for inflation, real spending fell even further. Consumer sentiment sank to 51 as households braced for 4.3 percent inflation, more than double the Fed's 2 percent target. Producer prices rose 4.7 percent year over year, and instead of rallying on the weak data, the bond market sold off to its lowest weekly close of the year, with the 30-year at 5.27 percent. Meanwhile the Fed expanded its balance sheet by more than 21 billion dollars in two weeks, with the national debt about 80 billion dollars away from 40 trillion.Peter marks 55 years since Nixon closed the gold window and calls it what it was: a 100 percent default on America's creditors. His father Irwin testified against removing gold backing in 1968, and the 1970s proved him right. Now the sequel is underway. The world is going off the dollar standard the way America went off gold, and the next leg down in the American standard of living has already started. Gold near 4,400 dollars and silver above 66 are the market's verdict.Chapters:00:00 Middle Class Squeeze01:01 PPI Breakdown04:08 Fed Balance Sheet Surge05:23 Stagflation Signals08:28 Bond Market Warning11:39 Greenspan and 1987 Echoes14:48 Stocks vs Bonds Diverge15:33 Gold Shines Bitcoin Slips18:16 Bitcoin Bear Case21:08 Iran Sanctions and Oil26:30 Nixon Gold Standard Legacy28:52 Inflation Math Reality29:30 Video Plug Fiat Failure30:19 Electric Catamaran Tour34:30 Cruising Plans Tax Credit37:02 Gold Standard Break Explained48:09 Dollar Standard EndingFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiff#Stagflation #InflationOur Sponsors:* Check out Blinds.com and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.blinds.com* Check out Chilipad and use my code GOLD for $255 off: https://sleep.me* Check out Factor and use my code gold50off for a great deal: https://www.factor75.com* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out Plaud AI and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.plaud.ai* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/GOLD for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
FitLife Brands just dropped its Q2 2026 earnings report, showing a massive 65% year-over-year revenue spike to $26.5 million. But behind that explosive headline number lies a much more complicated story of acquisition padding, falling legacy brand sales, and major strategic hurdles. Does FitLife Brands need a "strategic cleanse" to restore true balance? In this comprehensive breakdown, I'll dig deep past the surface-level numbers of the FitLife Brands portfolio. Based on Q2 2026 financial documents and my exclusive notes from the earnings call, I'm analyzing exactly how the company is performing after its massive August 2025 acquisition of Irwin Naturals. I divide the portfolio into Legacy FitLife and Irwin Naturals to uncover the real operational health of the business. While consolidated growth looks stellar on paper due to M&A activity, a sequential quarter-over-quarter growth rate of just 4.8% tells a very different story. Key Topics Covered:Sales Channel Shift: How FitLife has successfully lowered its historic "key customer risk" with retail giant GNC, moving from a digital-first strategy back into heavy wholesale distribution.Legacy FitLife Troubles: Why Legacy FitLife segment revenue plummeted 23% YoY, and how company leadership is using "muddy waters" to obscure individual brand declines.Amazon Algorithm Slump: A look into Mimi's Rock Corporation's low-20s percent YoY decline and FitLife's unexpected partnership with competitive eating champion Joey Chestnut to drive off-Amazon awareness.MusclePharm Misstep: Why attempting to aggressively raise prices on MusclePharm whey protein products backfired, leaving them highly exposed to inflationary commodity cycles without true brand pricing power.Irwin Naturals Silver Lining: Breaking down Irwin's $14.1 million quarter, its rapid 35% sequential expansion into e-commerce, and whether upcoming cost-saving synergies can rescue FitLife's dilutive profit margins.If you are a CPG industry professional, retail investor, or supplement brand builder, this deep dive into functional CPG market dynamics and execution strategy is a must-watch!
The Agents of Change: SEO, Social Media, and Mobile Marketing for Small Business
Here's a question I ask every business owner who complains their marketing "isn't working": when's the last time you actually looked at your website like a stranger would? Because nine times out of ten, the traffic is fine. It's the website that's dropping the ball. My guest this week is Irwin Hau, founder of Chromatics and Conversion Cow, who's analyzed close to 70,000 websites (yes, 70,000) and built an entire framework around the psychology of trust and conversion. Before he was auditing websites for a living, he was a card illusionist, which honestly explains a lot once you hear him talk about how easy it is to manipulate attention online. If you've ever wondered why people aren't calling, filling out your forms, or sticking around past the homepage, this episode hands you the four questions your website needs to answer, and the simple, often free fixes most businesses are missing. https://www.theagentsofchange.com/634 Need help with your branding, website, or digital marketing?

On July 1, a shipment of Irwin mangoes from Tainan and black-leaf lychees from Taichung cleared customs in Manchester, marking Taiwan's first official export of these fruits to the United Kingdom for 2026. Getting the fruit from Taiwan to UK supermarket shelves was not easy. In this edition of Taiwan Talk, Sunray Fresh General Manager Kris Tang talks to Hope Ngo about the challenges the importer faced to get the fruit from Taiwan's farms onto British tables. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

What if some of the biggest battles in life are happening where we can't see them, quietly shaping what we believe about ourselves, God, and our purpose?Continuing Living As People of Grace, Ps Sue Irwin explores Paul's words in Ephesians 6 and the reality of the spiritual battle for our hearts and minds. But rather than focusing on fear, this message asks a more important question: what has God already given us that's worth fighting for?Through Ephesians, Sue reminds us of three things the enemy would love us to lose sight of: our identity in Christ, our position in Christ, and our God-given purpose. We are loved, chosen, forgiven, empowered, and equipped to bring God's grace, kindness, and light into the world.When life leaves you feeling defeated, inadequate, or uncertain of your purpose, this message is an invitation to see yourself differently. Our strength doesn't come from trying harder, but from trusting God and exchanging our limited strength for His.Listen and be reminded not only what you're fighting against, but what you're fighting for.

Misha Glenny and guests discuss a familiar feature of our beaches: seashells, from their astonishing shapes and patterns that teach us about Earth's oceans, to the ways that humans have treasured shells throughout history. Seashells appear in the mythologies of countless cultures across the world - think of Botticelli's Venus emerging from a giant scallop shell, Vishnu's sacred horn panchajanya, or the Aztec god Quetzalcōātl's talisman cut from a conch shell. The urge to collect shells seems to be as old as our species. We've used them as decoration, currency, and musical instruments. But shells aren't just beautiful objects washed up on our beaches. Many belong to one of the most diverse groups of the animal kingdom, Mollusca, and the remarkable morphology of forms and structures they grow in offer insight into the past, present, and future of the marine world.With Suzanne Williams Merit Researcher at the Natural History Museum Liz Harper Professor of Evolutionary Malacology in the Department of Earth Sciences and Fellow at Gonville and Caius College, University of Cambridge Helen Scales Marine biologist and Author.

Beneficiary forms...sexy?In this episode, I'm joined by my friend Allie Irwin—hypnotist, coach, and creator of the Treasure Map, an end‑of‑life planning process—who makes a compelling case that it can be.You'll hear why preparedness is an act of care and freedom, how Allie's clients literally find money (forgotten accounts, double charges, missed benefits), and what really happens in the first week after a loved one dies—when you're forced to make 80+ decisions at about 20% brain capacity. This is end‑of‑life planning without the euphemisms.Together we unpack why we avoid talking about death, how to turn that avoidance into radical preparedness, and why doing this work now can shift your relationships, your money, and even your career choices.Ultimately, this conversation is a celebration of life, the people we cherish, and living with real authenticity and integrity.What you'll learn: How end-of-life preparedness can actually be an act of care, freedom, and service to the people you loveHow simple planning (like updating beneficiaries and listing accounts) helps you avoid devastating and expensive mistakesHow doing a “Treasure Map” style audit often leads people to literally find money—forgotten retirement accounts, double-charged interest, unused benefitsWhat actually happens in the first week after a death, and why 80+ decisions at 20% brain capacity is a terrible time to start planningHow talking about death surfaces unspoken expectations, invisible labor, and power dynamics in relationships—and can deepen appreciation for your partnerWhat emotional regulation and hypnosis tools (like Havening) can do to help you stay present and grounded in the midst of grief and big conversationsHow contemplating your own mortality can clarify your true priorities and catalyze bold choices in money, work, and lifeFeatured: Learn more about Allie on her website: www.allieirwin.comFollow her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/allie.p.irwin/Treasure Map with Allie Irwin: https://allieirwin.com/treasure-map/Learn more about Jamie on her website: www.jamieleecoach.comFollow Jamie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieleecoach/1:1 Executive Coaching with Jamie: https://www.jamieleecoach.com/applyText me your thoughts on this episode!Enjoy the show?

Irwin Hau, founder of Chromatix and ConversionCow, joins Apptivate to unpack the psychology behind customer conversion and why acquisition is only the beginning of the user journey. Drawing from more than 17 years of experience analyzing tens of thousands of websites, apps, and digital experiences, Irwin shares the principles that separate traffic from customers, how clarity and proof influence decision-making, and why education, gamification, and ongoing engagement are critical to reducing churn. Irwin goes on to explore with Remerge's Patrick Eichmann how mobile marketers can improve onboarding, build stronger habit loops, and think more deliberately about retention rather than assuming installs automatically translate into long-term users. Questions addressed in this episode Why do mobile marketers focus so heavily on acquisition while overlooking conversion? What are the biggest mistakes companies make after generating traffic? How can marketers communicate their value proposition more clearly? Why is social proof so important in driving action? How should apps educate users after installation? What role do tutorials and onboarding play in retention? How can gamification reduce churn? What apps are doing engagement particularly well? How can marketers identify friction points in the user journey? What principles from human psychology should guide app growth? Timestamps 0:22 — Introducing Irwin Hau and his agency background 1:44 — The origins of Chromatix and ConversionCow 3:21 — Why marketers obsess over traffic instead of conversion 4:44 — The formula: traffic × conversion = customers 5:28 — Clarity: explaining what your product actually does 6:28 — Why social proof matters more than ever 7:00 — Making the call to action impossible to miss 7:56 — How to communicate value in just a few lines 10:24 — The biggest mistake marketers make after acquisition 11:44 — Why features come after solving the customer's problem 12:27 — Conversion doesn't stop after the install 13:27 — Education, tutorials, and onboarding experiences 14:28 — Push notifications, habit formation, and Duolingo 15:27 — Building virality through sharing and community 16:00 — Apps that get engagement right 16:52 — My Drive Hero and reward psychology 18:12 — Why group behavior reduces churn 19:00 — Where to find Irwin and closing thoughts Quotes (5:28) “If you cannot explain your app in less than seven words, I think you're waffling.” (12:30) “Conversion to me isn't a one-off thing. There are many different conversion points.” (13:09) "You can't just assume if they come through the door, we've got them for life. They will churn.” Mentioned in this episode Irwin Hau on LinkedIn Chromatix ConversionCow
Esperanza and Irwin talk "Yaz". Before Fenway Park and winning the Triple Crown, Boston Red Sox legend Carl Yastrzemski forged his Hall of Fame work ethic on the potato farms and sandlot diamonds of Long Island's East End. This episode explores Yaz's formative Bridgehampton years, from laboring on his family's farm to dominating local athletics at Bridgehampton High, where he batted an astonishing 512, starred in three varsity sports, and broke county basketball records. We dive into the local folklore of his legendary 1957 season and look at how playing for the White Eagles semipro team alongside his father shaped his career. Perhaps most of all, It is the story a time and place: late 1950's Bridgehampton, and the tight-knit Polish-American farming community that worked the land and nurtured a legend, straight into Cooperstown.

Send us Fan MailODYSSEYThe tales of our quartet of heroic hacks hath concluded, and alas Season 17's continued voyage to cover a single work otherwise shunned by the codes of TGTPTU would have to wait another day as the movie theater houses of IMAX and lesser film abodes have brought to the weary masses a film of epic proportions and grand length. That motion picture would be THE ODYSSEY (2026), and the man of Briton to foregather the talents of the camera-wielding Double Hoyte and the Talented Mr. Damon harkens back to adventures during TGTPTU's Season 12 and is no other than Sir (IRL!) Christopher Edward Nolan. As your humble scribe is no soothsayer, he cannot in good faith foretell how the film will deviate from the classic work of Homer (blind and of Ancient Grecian fame, not Simpson of Springfield). Nor can yours truly hint at the reactions the hosts Ryan, Ken, or he, himself, Thomas will have, nor may he here throw his customary shade and poison the reader of such unnecessarily ramose sentences as herein contained toward his views on the film. Will adapting an oral tale later committed to archaic languages befall the fate of Aronofsky's Noah (2014, covered in Season 11)? Will Travis Scott with his role as The Bard for Nolan surpass his previous acting credit in Harmony Korine's Aggro Dr1ft (2023)? Will Jon Bernthal battle Robert Pattinson in a clash between the comic book titans The Punisher and The Batman? Will Bill Irwin's cyclops surpass both his previous Nolan role as robot and that of whoever was the cyclops in Krull (1983, covered earlier this season)? Will the film contain or be structured so that the beginning and end meet in the middle, again cribbing TGTPTU's patented pincer movement and leading to further litigation? Will there be an Iliad prequel? Of all this and more, I am humbly ignorant. But I will wager anyone a Way of the Gun DVD with postage paid that Irwin's cyclops will rival that of James Marsden's or Tye Sheridan's. You can @ me using the contacts below.

Haystack Full of Needles: A memoir of research on mechanisms of memory in the decades that defined neuroscience by Louis Neal Irwin https://www.amazon.com/dp/1664140603 Lirwin.org How do we store information in the brain? Is memory a thing in a place, like a specific molecule in a particular cell? Or does learning require a process in a population, like neurons firing in a specific pattern for each experience? This combination of memoir and history tells the story of how the mechanisms of memory were gradually revealed, through biographical vignettes of the scientists who set out to solve the riddle of memory, including the author?s own efforts as he was coming of age as a scientist. It shows how individual goals intertwine with the technologies at hand to push scientific knowledge forward, often erratically, and always in the context of social forces and private ups and downs. Not only a compelling personal story with the war in Vietnam, civil rights movement, and downfall of two presidents as backdrop, this is a lucid explanation of brain function for the nonscientist and valuable contribution to the history of science in the decades that saw neuroscience join molecular biology as the marquee biomedical accomplishments of the twentieth century About the author Writer, neuroscientist, astrobiologist, educator, and political activist.

This is an incredible graphic novel that turns Penelope into the feminist icon she was always meant to be. It's filled with so many incredible characters and Prenzy's art is emotive and captivating. Arianna and I chat about the why she wanted to tell Penelope's story, working with Prenzy, what she hopes readers take away from it, and how she got her start in comics. Penelope's Escape from the Platypusary is out July 21st. Buy Penelope's Escape from the Platypusary Go to Arianna's website Follow Arianna on Instagram Buy The Comet, vol. 1 Follow Comic Book Yeti

31 years after the original Toy Story changed animation forever, the franchise returns with a fifth installment that's better than the much-maligned fourth — and surprisingly timely. Adam Holtz from Plugged In joins Brian From to break down the plot: Woody is now part of a street toy gang after kids traded toys for screens, and the story leans hard into questions about childhood, isolation, and what happens when a tween's parents finally hand over a tablet. Then a hard pass: The Death of Robin Hood starring Hugh Jackman is a deeply cynical, blood-soaked reimagining where Robin Hood was never noble to begin with — "Graveheart" might be the more honest title. But there's a genuine recommendation in the mix: Young Washington from the Irwin brothers (the team behind Woodlawn and Jesus Revolution), a well-made historical drama about a young, unproven George Washington trying to earn the woman he loves and the respect of his country decades before the Revolution. Full reviews at pluggedin.com before you head to the theater this Fourth of July weekend.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Spencer Irwin was just 30 years old when he vanished one Sunday morning in July 2024. Days later, his body was found in a way that raised questions – naked, alone and quickly dismissed by authorities. But their assumptions about Spencer were wrong. As his mother began asking questions, the answers she received only raised more red flags: no autopsy, missing belongings and a timeline full of gaps no one seemed interested in filling. When toxicology results came back, they didn't just complicate the story, they began to unravel it. Refusing to accept a conclusion that didn't add up, Spencer's mother launched her own investigation. What she uncovered was deeply unsettling. As new witnesses came forward and experts weighed in, one thing became clear — the case may have been written off too soon. The truth is buried somewhere, waiting to be uncovered. If you have any information regarding the mysterious death of Spencer Irwin, you can contact the Fresno Police Department directly at 559-621-7000 or anonymously through Valley Crime Stoppers by texting ‘VALLEY' to 738477.
