What drives the most successful people to their greatest achievements—and sometimes their darkest moments?Alongside writer and philosopher Rebecca Goldstein, we explore the mattering instinct - the fundamental human need to justify why we deserve attention in our own eyes - and discover how identifying your mattering project transforms this universal longing into a meaningful life path.We unpack why this one psychological force is responsible for both our greatest accomplishments and our most destructive ideologies.We uncover the mattering map's four core strategies—heroic strivers who pursue excellence, socializers who find meaning through connection, competitors driven by zero-sum thinking, and transcendents grounded in spiritual purpose—and learn how recognizing which strategy aligns with your temperament reveals where you've been chasing unfulfilling projects.

In this episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, HeHe is joined by Tracy aka Modern Day Midwife (a hospital-based midwife in Arizona with a NICU background) for a candid, behind-the-scenes conversation about the realities of modern healthcare. Together, they unpack how the U.S. healthcare system is failing both patients and providers, from provider burnout and lack of mental health support to the pressures of hospital politics, insurance reimbursement, and productivity quotas. They explore the difference between  “Medicine 1.0” (acute care) and “Medicine 2.0” (preventative care, functional medicine, wellness), and how insurance-driven, fee-for-service models often prioritize sick care over true health. The result? Confusing medical bills, rushed care, poor patient experiences, and providers who are stretched thin despite doing deeply meaningful work. HeHe and Tracy dive into the unique challenges facing women's health, maternity care, and birth: over-medicalization, the cascade of interventions, the limits of 10-minute OB-GYN appointments, maternity care deserts, and the need for individualized care, informed consent, and continuity of care. From ACOG guidelines to ever changing evidence and research, they explore possible solutions including a midwifery-led model of care, better transfer systems for home birth and birth center patients, coverage for doulas and health coaching, and shifting consumer demand away from traditional insurance and towards alternatives like health shares.  Tracy shares her exciting vision for an integrated wellness hub that could include midwifery, obstetrics, pelvic floor PT, lactation, chiropractic care, and community-based health supports, and ends by sharing how to connect with her at Premier OB GYN in Phoenix and via Modern Day Midwife online and on Instagram.   00:00 Why Healthcare Breaks Providers 02:24 Burnout and Speaking Up 04:59 Fear and Privilege in Advocacy 07:18 Who Supports Clinicians 12:32 Medicine 1.0 vs Prevention 17:25 Billing Confusion and Fee for Service 19:06 Burn It Down or Reform It 23:55 Disrupting Insurance and Incentives 26:49 Birth Care Needs a New Model 29:36 Preeclampsia Prevention Debate 30:47 Rethinking Maternity Care Roles 32:04 Money in Wellness Care 34:55 Building a One Stop Birth Hub 37:43 Continuity Across Birth Settings 41:45 Evidence Based Medicine Reality Check 47:56 ACOG Guidelines vs Individual Choice 53:23 Demanding Individualized Care 55:11 Rebuilding Healthcare and Provider Support 56:59 Where to Find Tracy 58:15 Closing Thanks and Resources   Guest Bio: Meet Tracy Burns, Board Certified Nurse Midwife.

Por fin, escribe eso mismo en el catálogo de Amazon para obtener más de 8000 referencias. Citas de Séneca por aquí, citas de Marco Aurelio por allá, Pau Gasol habla de estoicismo, Lydia Valentín habla de estoicismo, Luis Enrique, también; “el estoicismo me ayudó en mi deporte”, “el estoicismo me ayudó en mis negocios”, “el estoicismo cambió mi vida”… Demonios, ¿qué pasa con el dichoso estoicismo? Sin duda, es la filosofía de moda; está de rabiosa actualidad, pese a ser una filosofía con más de 2000 años. Pero, ¿por qué? ¿De qué narices va eso del estoicismo? ¿No era aquello de permanecer frío como el acero, aunque estés pasando el peor trago de tu vida, y permanecer impasible también, cuando estás viviendo el momento más feliz? Es decir, tener menos ánimo que una piedra. Y, en todo caso, ¿qué tienen que ver, con mi vida, las filosofadas de unos señores con barba blanca y túnica, que vivieron hace dos milenios? ¿No es la filosofía sino un intento de explicar el universo con poca o nula traducción práctica? ¿O estoicismo es eso que hacen los influencers de levantarse a las 5am, darse duchas frías, hacer WODs de Crossfit en ayunas y apagar las redes sociales durante días? “Si el estoicismo son cuestiones sobre la existencia y el cosmos, Héctor, no cuentes conmigo en este episodio”. “Y, si esperas que adopte un modo de vida monacal, privado de todo placer y sometido a la incomodidad permanentemente, Héctor, no cuentes conmigo tampoco”. Calma, “ataraxia”, que diremos luego. Como de costumbre, hoy vamos a profundizar en un concepto complejo, pero con lenguaje que pueda entender hasta el alumnado de Primaria. Vamos a hacerlo para responder a todas esas cuestiones, que ya he lanzado, y para desmontar algunos mitos. Vamos a aprender, en tan sólo 10 minutines, de qué va eso del estoicismo, para luego, en otros 10 minutos, aprender las ocho herramientas perfectamente accionables para mejorar, de verdad, nuestra práctica deportiva y, sí, nuestra vida general también. Descubriremos que no hay nada misterioso ni mágico en el estoicismo, pero sí mucho sentido común, que ya sabéis que es el menos común de los sentidos. Nos vamos a apoyar en grandes personalidades, como Marco Aurelio, para recobrar esa sensatez, que todo el mundo tenemos, pero guardada en vete tú a saber qué cajón de nuestra enmarañada cabezota… Como de costumbre también, voy a hacer referencia a algunas de las fuentes que he utilizado para crear el contenido de hoy. La principal, el trabajo de divulgación de Pepe García, que encontrarás en redes sociales (lo que incluye website, perfil de Instagram, canal YouTube y podcast) bajo el nombre de El Estoico. Pepe es, seguramente, el mayor divulgador de estoicismo en habla hispana. En su podcast El Estoico entrevistó a Massimo Pigliucci, otro importante divulgador de la filosofía estoica; en este caso, en inglés. Massimo también intervino en el podcast Aprendemos Juntos. Por último, no puede faltar, como referencia, Marcos Vázquez de Fitness Revolucionario, quien ya divulgaba sobre los estoicos allá por 2015. Hechas las menciones y, sin más dilación, vamos al turrón.

Love Is Blind Season 10 Episodes 7–9 deliver one of the most chaotic stretches in franchise history. From Chris initiating a 13-hour “break,” questioning his physical attraction to Jessica, and invoking CrossFit wife standards, to Alex's increasingly villain-coded behavior, we break down every catastrophic play like it's Game 7 of the Finals. Meanwhile, Victor emerges as the lone elite-tier performer in a sea of dud-level male gameplay, and Brittany's “Christ-like” evaluation of Devonte may be the wildest love-level raise we've ever seen. We analyze gaslighting, anti-chemistry strategies, producer intent, and the escalating gender gameplay gap in what may be the most rage-inducing trio of episodes the series has ever produced.Subscribe to Game of Roses: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrFYM8CvKhDvV8OLfnhvP0A/?sub_confirmation=1Patreon: https://patreon.com/gameofrosesMerch: https://gameofroses.orgListen on Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/gameofrosesListen on Spotify: http://bit.ly/spotifygameofroses Hosted on Acast.

Can you stay relentlessly disciplined without becoming the person nobody wants to be around?Alongside the WWE's Ivy Nile (aka Emily Andzulis), we explore how true discipline becomes a source of motivation for those around you, and how choosing to do hard things every single day compounds into a life of genuine satisfaction.We unpack the framework of non-negotiables with extreme flexibility - rigid standards that allow for grace and adaptation and talk about how to build sustainable habits that transfer directly to real-world performance, why moving your body matters more than how hard you move it, and how the fitness journey teaches you to show up for yourself in ways that ultimately serve every other area of your life.

Quick SummaryLaura Sinclair shares her journey from corporate marketing to gym ownership to building a thriving online business and community for ambitious mothers. This conversation dives deep into the realities of building a business while raising children, the importance of simplifying your business model, and why you need mentors who actually understand your season of life.In This EpisodeLaura's unconventional path from corporate BMW to gym owner to online entrepreneurThe challenging reality of being a mom entrepreneur (and why you don't get it until you get it)How to simplify your business by focusing on what actually worksThe power of choosing complexity in the right season vs. protecting your energyWhy expectations create more stress than motherhood or business combinedBuilding in-person community through the This Mother Means Business conferenceSetting boundaries that support your life (like no calls before 11 AM)Key TakeawaysYou can't take business advice from people who don't understand your season of life. Childless mentors may give you strategies that are impossible to implement as a mother—seek advice from people who get it.Simplification comes from knowing what works. Track where your last 3-5 clients came from and double down on those channels instead of spreading yourself thin across everything.You can choose complexity—but only in the right season. There are times to simplify and coast, and times to intentionally add complexity for growth. Neither is wrong; it's about alignment with your life.Most stress comes from expectations, not reality. Define what being a "good mom" and "good entrepreneur" means to you, not what society dictates.Community isn't optional—it's essential. Getting out from behind your laptop to connect with other moms in business reminds you why you do what you do.Memorable Quotes"You don't know what it's like to be a mom building a business until you're a mom building a business.""I really do believe that you can have it all. You can't do it all.""Do you wanna come over to my house and do bedtime while I host those calls? Because that's not possible.""Simple was fun, and now it's complexity time. My kids are both in school. I have the time to do it."Resources MentionedWebsite: www.thismothermeansbusiness.comInstagram/Threads: @itslaurasinclalrPodcast: This Mother Means BusinessThe Big Leap by Gay HendricksGreat Callings by Brianna WiestThis Mother Means Business Conference (April 1st, Burlington)This Mother Means Business Podcast (Mondays & Thursdays)Kelsey's Website: KelseyReidl.comKelsey's Instagram: @KelseyReidlKelsey's Podcast: Rain or Shine (350+ episodes featuring Canadian entrepreneurs)About the GuestLaura Sinclair is the founder of This Mother Means Business, a community and brand dedicated to supporting ambitious mothers in entrepreneurship.

This week, I decided to put Coach Dave Ulmer on the hot seat.Over the last few months, members keep asking me: “How does Dave do that?”Running speed + agility cones like a cat at 43 years old and 200+ lbs… pulling mid-500s on deadlift… moving like an athlete who never left their prime.So instead of guessing, we hit record.In this episode, we unpack Dave's full journey:Growing up building a wide athletic base through football, basketball, and lacrosse 4 years of structured strength & conditioning in high school 4 years of D1A football at Bucknell University 5 years of competitive CrossFit in the Regionals era, battling alongside guys like Dan Bailey, Rich Froning, and Graham Holmberg Now?

Bobby Capobianco came on the program after a HYROX weekend and discusses: • Why HYROX works • From elite basketball to burnout to rebuilding • Why some brands connect and others miss • The power of visuals and experience • Authenticity in the influencer era • The ceiling of HYROX Summary This one starts casual and turns into a bigger conversation about HYROX and the fitness moment we are in right now. Bobby shares his path from high level basketball recruit to completely burned out former athlete who gained 100 pounds on purpose, then rebuilt through CrossFit and eventually moved into the experiential side of the fitness industry. At the core of the episode is why HYROX works. Not just the format, but the feeling. The look. The shareability. The fact that it makes everyday people feel like athletes. The conversation explores why other brands have not captured that same energy, where authenticity fits in a world of paid influence, and why real world experience may matter more than product specs. It is part sports talk, part business breakdown, and part where is this all headed.

On this episode of the Sport of Fitness Podcast, Sport Director for Gymreapers Wodapalooza Dylan Malitsky joins Chase Ingraham to talk about the upcoming live announcement of Open Workout 26.3.

Caffeine, Polyphenols, and Smarter Training Volume: Total Reps, Fatigue, and Performance On this Valentine's Day episode of Iron Radio, hosts Coach Phil Stevens, Dr. Mike T. Nelson, and Dr. Lonnie Lowery discuss authenticity in sports nutrition communication, then review an editorial in Current Developments in Nutrition (Buckley et al., with Stu Phillips as senior author) highlighting that “proper” nutrition varies by sport demands. They summarize research in the special issue on athletic performance: four papers on caffeine/coffee showing improvements across aerobic and anaerobic outcomes (power output, time to exhaustion, vertical jump, sprint performance, post-activation performance enhancement), reduced perceived fatigue, and possible benefits to hand-eye coordination, with one paper suggesting ~3 mg/kg may be sufficient versus higher dosing. They also note mixed findings on polyphenols/anthocyanins (including black currant data showing more support for recovery than performance) and mention continued creatine coverage amid ongoing misinformation.  After show/network announcements (updated podcast feed via the Iron Radio Nutrition Radio Network, Mike Nelson's free daily newsletter, and Lonnie Lowry's upcoming 2025/2026 second edition book Dietary Supplements in Sports Performance), the conversation shifts to training prescription. Phil explains programming volume via total rep targets (e.g., 30 reps) instead of fixed set/rep schemes to manage good and bad days, emphasize perfect form, and allow flexibility through “buy ups/buy outs,” including leaving the gym on days when submaximal work isn't there. The hosts discuss practical considerations like rest periods, avoiding turning the weight room into conditioning for athletes, tailoring density/rest to sport demands (powerlifting vs field sports), and coordinating training load to prevent staleness and excessive fatigue. They also address hybrid/CrossFit-style programming pitfalls, the need for purposeful periodization and strength development, and how total-dose training can help older lifters maintain muscle while managing joint stress, while still recognizing times when pushing sets is appropriate. 00:00 Welcome to Iron Radio + Hosts Introductions (Valentine's Day Episode) 01:03 Authenticity vs ‘Boring Experts' in Sports Nutrition Communication 02:38 Today's Agenda: New Sports Nutrition Editorial + Training Volume Flexibility 04:28 Research Roundup: Caffeine/Coffee Performance Effects (Dose, Fatigue, Coordination) 08:42 Polyphenols/Anthocyanins & Creatine: Mixed Evidence and Practical Takeaways 09:55 Network Updates, Newsletter, and Upcoming Supplements Book Promo Break 13:16 Training by Total Reps: Auto-Regulating Volume on Good vs Bad Days 18:36 Quality Reps, Rest Flexibility, and Sport-Specific Density (Strength vs Conditioning) 22:33 Strength Work vs. Conditioning: Safer Training and Better Reps 22:57 Coaching Coordination, Fatigue, and the Power of a Taper 23:51 When Coaches Misread Staleness: ‘Run More' and Other Late-Season Mistakes 24:41 Programming Hybrid Athletes: Separate Strength, Conditioning, and Simulation 26:51 Periodization 101: Stop Chasing Three Rabbits 27:26 CrossFit Reality Check: Winners Get Strong (Not Just ‘WOD of the Day') 29:13 What Takes Years: Max Strength and Muscle vs. Quick Aerobic Gains 30:26 Training as You Age: ‘Total Dose' to Maintain Muscle and Progress 33:00 Coming Back for a Meet: Build Back Smart and Don't Rush the Load 34:14 Progression Model + Wrap-Up and Safety Disclaimer Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie

Most people think of a knee injury as a knee problem. You tear something, you rehab it, you move on. But the science tells a very different story — one where a single traumatic injury quietly drives cartilage degradation, cardiovascular impairment, and systemic inflammation for decades after the initial damage has "healed." I got a firsthand look at this when an MRI revealed two meniscus tears, a split MCL, and early-onset osteoarthritis in my left knee. That last one was humbling. I always assumed osteoarthritis happened to other people — older, less active people. Not someone who squats heavy and trains consistently. In this episode, Forrest Smith — CEO and Co-founder of Kineon Labs, a health technology company specializing in targeted red light and laser therapy devices — returns for his third appearance on the podcast. And the picture he paints of what happens inside an injured joint long after the rehab is over is sobering. For example, the NFL tracked over 3,500 players who'd returned to competition after knee injuries and found chronic inflammation still present 10 to 20 years later, despite world-class rehab.  Notably, the quads on the players' injured side ran one to two degrees colder, a sign of impaired cardiovascular delivery. And the risk of major cardiovascular events jumped by 50% – not because of the original injury, but because of inflammation that never resolved. That's the cycle most people don't know they're stuck in. And it's where laser-based photobiomodulation changes the equation. Targeted 808nm lasers can drop inflammatory markers like TNF-alpha and IL-6 by 70 to 85% within days. Once that chronic degradation slows down, chondroblasts — the fast-growing front end of cartilage — can actually proliferate and begin rebuilding the extracellular matrix. Slow the destruction on one side, accelerate the biology on the other. That's what "regrowing cartilage" actually means. Penetration depth is what makes lasers fundamentally different from LEDs. At five to seven centimeters of reach, you're dosing 10 to 100 times more tissue volume than a surface-level panel can touch. Then there's the other side of this that almost nobody talks about: the ibuprofen your doctor hands you after surgery. Research shows that 90 days of use increases heart attack risk by 48%, heart failure by 35%, and major coronary events by 75% — while actively impairing the collagen and fibroblast function your body needs to heal. It's doing the exact opposite of what most people assume. If you've ever dealt with a joint injury, chronic inflammation, or just assumed over-the-counter painkillers were harmless, this one's worth your time. About Forrest Smith: Co-Founder and CEO of Kineon, a health-tech leader who spent 18 years in China building hardware startups and mastering the local supply chain. A lifelong athlete and CrossFit enthusiast, he founded Kineon after developing a portable, medical-grade laser device to treat his own chronic knee pain.  Website: https://kineon.io/blogs/authors/forrest-smith  [Discount Code] Use code MKUMMERMOVE for 10% off the Kineon Move+ Pro:  https://michaelkummer.com/go/kineon Learn more: Kineon Move+ Pro Review: https://michaelkummer.com/kineon-move-plus-review/ Benefits of Red Light Therapy for Joint Pain and Arthritis: https://michaelkummer.com/red-light-therapy-for-joints/  Thank you to this episode's sponsor, Peluva!

Show Notes In this episode of Develop This!, Dennis Fraise sits down with Paul Cranch from Brisbane to explore one of the most innovative and community-driven education and workforce models in the world: Country University Centers (CUCs). Designed to expand access to tertiary education in regional and rural Australia, CUCs are community-led, community-run facilities that allow students to pursue university degrees without leaving their hometowns. The result? Stronger local economies, reduced brain drain, and a new generation of homegrown talent fueling regional prosperity. Paul shares how this model emerged, why it works, and what economic development professionals around the world can learn from its success. Key Topics Covered The origins and purpose of Country University Centers, and how they were created to serve regional Australia Why community-led, community-run facilities matter in expanding access to higher education Reversing brain drain by keeping students local and attracting talent back to rural communities Creative funding models combining federal, state, local, and private sector investment Economic ripple effects: workforce development, business engagement, and entrepreneurship Scaling and sustaining the model while keeping communities at the center Lessons for other regions, including online learning partnerships, governance structures, and community engagement strategies Real-world success stories featuring student demographics, degree programs, and regional outcomes About Paul Cranch Paul Cranch is an experienced economic development professional, consultant, and thought leader dedicated to helping communities turn local potential into lasting prosperity. Based in Queensland, Paul has worked extensively with councils, regional organizations, and state agencies to strengthen local economies, attract investment, and build professional capability. He is the founder of Local Economic Impact Advisory, an independent consultancy focused on data-driven strategy and place-based impact. Paul is also the voice behind several influential professional newsletters—EcDev with Paul, EcDev Jobs, and EcDev Data—connecting thousands of practitioners across Australia and internationally with practical, evidence-based insights. Before returning to Australia, Paul spent more than a decade in Japan, studying commerce in Japanese at Kansai University and building a career in brand management and international business development. This experience shaped his global perspective on cross-cultural partnerships, investment facilitation, and place branding. He is an active contributor to Economic Development Australia and international networks such as the International Economic Development Council, where he champions professional development, community readiness, and practical leadership. When he's not advising communities or writing about economic development, Paul can be found training at CrossFit, volunteering in Brisbane's Japanese community, or traveling across regional Australia discovering the stories that shape local economies.

What if everything modern culture tells us about fulfillment is wrong? In this compilation episode, we explore the two foundational lies that drive much of our dissatisfaction and drift: the belief that chasing fame, wealth, and power will make us happy, and the belief that if we're comfortable, we're somehow doing it wrong. Discover how these lies shape the decisions we make, the ladders we climb, and the regrets we carry into our final days.We unpack the four idols that distract us from what actually matters, why deliberately choosing discomfort builds the capacity for everything else, and what the dying wish they had known sooner. Learn how to recognize when you're being pulled toward the wrong things, how to build a life around what truly fulfills you, and why thinking about death isn't morbid - it's the tool that helps you live fully right now.
