Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Stacey Gholar.

In this episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, Larry Hagner is joined by Oscar “Oz” Aponte—a U.S. Army veteran, StrongFirst kettlebell instructor, and founder of Iron Core—to explore what real strength means as a man, a father, and a leader.   Oz brings a powerful blend of physical mastery and spiritual depth, helping men move from brute force to intentional presence. Together, they unpack how posture, breath, nervous system regulation, and movement patterns shape your long-term vitality—not just in the gym, but at the dinner table, in your marriage, and in your legacy.   More than a conversation about fitness, this is a deep dive into fatherhood, grief, and building your life with intention. Whether you're a kettlebell junkie or just a dad looking to show up better, this episode will challenge you to redefine strength on every level.   TIMELINE SUMMARY   [0:00] - Welcome to the Dad Edge mission: changing generations [1:00] - Os' dad: love, legacy, and shaping a son through presence [4:05] - The final moments Os had with his father before he passed [6:42] - The cycle-breaking power of a father who never had one [9:58] - Combining Eastern mindfulness with Western strength [12:21] - Training for longevity vs. ego [14:45] - Redefining masculinity as balance, not burnout [19:23] - Nervous system health: “the threat bucket” metaphor [25:36] - The seasons of fitness (and why to respect them) [28:15] - How posture and gait silently break men down [30:37] - Tissues adapt to dysfunction—unless you intervene [33:33] - Why kettlebells work: simple tools, elite results [38:55] - Busy dads: how to train with limited time and space [40:37] - Core movements every man should master [44:13] - The “Simple & Sinister” training approach [47:13] - Kettlebell workshops, coaching, and learning more   5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   1. Strength Is Presence Being strong isn't just about lifting weight—it's about how grounded, aware, and calm you are with your family.   2. Your Nervous System Is Running the Show Stress, posture, sleep, and breath all impact your strength more than ego lifting ever could. Master your internal world first.   3. Movement Is Medicine Poor gait and posture don't just cause pain—they drain your energy and shorten your lifespan. Train smart, not just hard.   4. Simplicity Wins You don't need a fancy gym or complicated gear. One kettlebell and intentional reps can outperform a cluttered workout.   5. Legacy Is Built in the Small Moments Oz's story shows that being a strong father isn't about perfection. It's about showing up, being present, and choosing intentionality every day.   LINKS & RESOURCES   Os Aponte's Website & Coaching: https://ironcoreway.com   Book Mentioned: Simple & Sinister by Pavel Tsatsouline https://www.strongfirst.com/shop/ebooks/simple-sinister-ebook   StrongFirst Kettlebell Certifications + Programs: https://www.strongfirst.com   Live Workshops in San Diego: Check Oz's site for current event listings   Dad Edge Podcast Hub: https://thedadedge.com/podcast   Book Preorder: The Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood https://thedadedge.com/legendarybook

The Seattle Seahawks provided fans with their first dominant win of 2025 with a 44-13 victory over the New Orleans Saints. We get into key plays and performances, such as Tory Horton's 95-yard punt return touchdown and Sam Darnold's impressive day at quarterback. We also get into the stellar play from the Seahawks' defense, including contributions from D'Anthony Bell, Mike Morris, and Darion Kendrick. Special teams also set the tone early in the game. What could this mean for the team going forward? Finally, we take a look at what we saw around the NFC West as the Rams suffered a delightfully heartbreaking loss and the San Francisco 49ers somehow managed a second-straight win with Mac Jones under center.  Join our Sea Hawkers Podcast Pickem League - free prizes for weekly winners.

In this episode review (Season 14, Ep. 372), Andrea revisits interviews with Dr. Dan Siegel to explore Mindsight—the focused attention that helps us see and reshape our own minds and connect with others. She breaks down how Mindsight underpins social and emotional intelligence and offers practical ways to develop it, including theory-of-mind practice, the Wheel of Awareness, and daily narrative reading. This week, in our review of EP 28 with Daniel J. Siegel, MD  and his book Mindsight, we learned: ✔ A deeper definition of Mindsight or seeing the mind in another Mindsight, a term coined by Dr. Daniel J. Siegel, is the ability to perceive the mind within ourselves and others. It goes beyond simply observing behavior; it's about sensing thoughts, feelings, intentions, and perspectives that aren't immediately visible. This skill allows us to look beneath the surface of words and actions, to “see” the mind behind them, which leads to deeper empathy, better relationships, and stronger social intelligence. ✔ What is Theory of Mind and how can this skill help us to connect and understand others better Theory of Mind (ToM) is closely related to Mindsight—it refers to our ability to attribute mental states (beliefs, desires, knowledge, intentions) to ourselves and to others. In simple terms, it's recognizing that other people have thoughts and feelings that may be different from our own. This skill is essential for meaningful communication, conflict resolution, and collaboration, because it helps us predict how someone might react, understand why they feel a certain way, and respond with compassion rather than judgment. ✔ What is Theory of Mind and how can this skill help us to connect and understand others better Theory of Mind (ToM) is closely related to Mindsight—it refers to our ability to attribute mental states (beliefs, desires, knowledge, intentions) to ourselves and to others.

This skill is essential for meaningful communication, conflict resolution, and collaboration, because it helps us predict how someone might react, understand why they feel a certain way, and respond with compassion rather than judgment. ✔ Practical tips to improve our Mindsight or Theory of Mind abilities Pause and Reflect – Before reacting, ask yourself: What might this person be thinking or feeling right now? Name Emotions – Practice labeling your own emotions and noticing them in others (“I feel frustrated” → “They might be anxious”). Perspective-Taking Exercises – Put yourself in someone else's shoes: If I were in their position, what would I be experiencing? Read Fiction Regularly – Choose stories with complex characters and notice how your mind tracks their thoughts and motives. Practice Curiosity in Conversations – Instead of assuming, ask open-ended questions to better understand another's perspective. Mindfulness Training – Strengthen your awareness of your inner world, which improves your ability to tune into the inner world of others. The episode also emphasizes the importance of face-to-face relationships for learning and development, contrasts relational learning with screen-based approaches, and provides actionable tips educators and listeners can use to strengthen empathy, self-awareness, and relational skills. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. Which brings up to today's episode #372, where we will take Dr. Dan Siegel's concept of Mindsight, to the next level. On our last EP 371 with Dan Siegel, PART 1 of our review of a very early interview EP 28[i], recorded in November 2019, we covered the importance of: Understanding and Applying Mindsight which is “the way we focus our attention on the internal world. It's how we bring consciousness to our own thoughts and feelings, and how we attune to the inner world of someone else. Mindsight gives us insight into ourselves, and empathy for others.” Mindsight is a concept Dr. Siegel felt to be critical for us to develop noting this skill to be “the basis for social and emotional development.” He notes, that it's a teachable set of skills that we can teach in school, and once mastered is a truly transformational tool.  In his book, Mindsight he explains this concept further: “Mindsight is a kind of focused attention that allows us to see the internal workings of our own minds. (and we've been talking about how important it is to go within, for true change in our lives to occur). It helps us to be aware of our mental processes without being swept away by them, (which) enables us to get ourselves off the autopilot of ingrained behaviors and habitual responses, and moves us beyond the reactive emotional loops we all have a tendency to get trapped in. It lets us “name and tame” the emotions we are experiencing, rather than being overwhelmed by them. Consider the difference between saying “I am sad” and “I feel sad.” Similar as those two statements may seem, there is actually a profound difference between them. “I am sad” is a kind of self-definition, and a very limiting one. “I feel sad” suggests the ability to recognize and acknowledge a feeling, without being consumed by it. The focusing skills that are part of mindsight make it possible to see what is inside, to accept it, and in the accepting to let it go, and, finally, to transform it into a NEW reality. You can also think of mindsight as a very special lens that gives us the capacity to perceive the mind with greater clarity than ever before. This lens is something that virtually everyone can develop, and once we have it we can dive deeply into the mental sea inside, exploring our own inner lives and those of others. A uniquely human ability, mindsight allows us to examine closely, in detail and in depth, the processes by which we think, feel, and behave. And it allows us to reshape and redirect our inner experiences so that we have more freedom of choice in our everyday actions, (giving us) more power to create the future, to become the author of our own story. Another way to put it is that mindsight is the basic skill that underlies everything we mean when we speak of having social and emotional intelligence.” (Dr. Daniel J Siegel, Mindsight, Location 105, Kindle Edition).

Episode 274 of The Business Development Podcast brings the inspiring journey of Dr. Juan Salinas, a food scientist, entrepreneur, and natural bodybuilder who defied the odds to create P-nuff Crunch, a plant-based protein snack that won the attention of Mark Cuban on Shark Tank. From his humble beginnings in Honduras to earning a PhD in food science from Rutgers and leading product innovations at Nestlé and Kraft, Dr. Salinas combined scientific expertise with his passion for health to revolutionize the snacking industry. His story highlights the grit, sacrifice, and relentless vision required to bring an innovative idea to life, even when it meant investing his life savings and building his own manufacturing facility.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Salinas shares insights on nutrition, obesity, and the mindset shifts needed to make healthier food choices, while also opening up about the challenges of entrepreneurship. From balancing bodybuilding with creating shelf-stable products, to enduring setbacks and pivots in scaling his company, he reveals the resilience behind every milestone. His Shark Tank experience—preparing in isolation during COVID, boldly negotiating with Cuban, and ultimately securing a deal—underscores the importance of preparation, courage, and belief in your mission.

Passion plus expertise creates innovation—combining bodybuilding and food science led him to invent P-nuff Crunch.3. Entrepreneurship requires sacrifice—he invested his life savings and took huge personal risks to build his company.4. Don't wait for permission—big corporations rejected his healthy snack ideas, so he built his own path.5. Manufacturing is a business itself—starting a facility taught him new challenges in HR, compliance, and operations.6. Preparation beats pressure—his Shark Tank success came from 10 days of focus, rehearsing every scenario until he was ready.7. Mindset is everything—he retrained his brain to crave healthier foods, just like quitting smoking.8. Strength training builds more than muscle—it increases metabolism and teaches discipline that carries into business.9. Adaptability keeps you alive—pivoting from “peanut puffs” to “protein puffs” kept his brand competitive.10.

How To Achieve and Have the Mindset of Success We hear it everywhere: “You need the mindset of success.” But what does that actually mean? And more importantly — how do you get it? In this episode of the Personal Development Unplugged podcast, I'll take you beyond the vague definitions and straight into a practical process you can use right now. We'll cut through the fluff and create a real mindset of success — one where your mind and body are fully aligned toward a specific goal. You'll discover how to: Get ultra clear and specific about what you really want (not what you don't want). Write it down in a way that seeds your unconscious mind. Identify the empowering beliefs that fuel your success. Step into the physiology and psychology of having already achieved your dream. Anchor it all with a simple word that triggers your success state whenever you need it. This isn't about “thinking positive.” It's about aligning your thoughts, feelings, and actions so you naturally move toward your goals. By the end of this episode, you'll not only understand what the mindset of success is — you'll have it. Key Takeaway: Success isn't vague — it's specific. Write it down, embody it, and live it. Key Takeaways (bullet points) Success without specificity is meaningless — define exactly what you want. Writing your goals down engages your unconscious mind and makes them real. Shift from “I don't want X” to “I want Y” to avoid reinforcing negatives. Empowering beliefs like “I've got this” or “I deserve this” fuel motivation. Visualisation plus physiology creates a success state you can step into now. Anchor your mindset with a single word to trigger confidence and focus anytime.

The Right Intention – Season 2, Episode 30

She didn't have a plan. No investors. Not even a laptop. At 25, Sava Lelcaj had 60 days to figure out her next move after losing the lease on her 10-table café. Most people would've played it safe. She didn't. Instead, she convinced investors, who'd just lost money on the space, to hand her the keys to a 300-seat restaurant. And somehow, it worked. Today, Sava runs a $25M hospitality group with multiple restaurants, guest houses, and a farm. In this episode, she talks us through what it actually looked like to scale with no roadmap, why being underestimated helped her win, and what she's learned about leadership, mostly the hard way.  Sava didn't have capital, experience, or a plan.

On this episode of Healthy Waves Podcast, host Sana speaks with healer and guide Mridula Agarwal about how unprocessed emotions manifest as physical illness. From diabetes to thyroid disorders to persistent weight and autoimmune conditions, Mridula explains how emotional wounds—feelings of being unloved, shame, self-blame, or unworthiness—can shape our health in ways medicine often overlooks. Together, they unpack why quick fixes rarely address the root and how real healing begins with awareness, courage, and support. This conversation moves beyond symptoms, offering a framework for reclaiming inner balance and breaking the cycles of dis-ease. About the Guest  : Mridula Agarwal is a spiritual teacher and founder of the iReAwake Method, a healing approach that addresses emotional root causes of illness. She works with people across walks of life—from entrepreneurs to homemakers to children—helping them release long-held emotional pain and restore harmony in body and mind. Key Takeaways   Emotional patterns like neglect, shame, and feeling unloved can manifest as physical illness (diabetes, thyroid, autoimmune, persistent weight). Many carry weight as protection—against attention, harm, or insecurity—revealing that weight gain can serve unconscious emotional purposes. Autoimmune disorders often link to deep self-blame and inner attack through negative self-talk. Quick fixes may ease pain temporarily, but lasting healing requires addressing root emotions alongside medical treatment. Mental health struggles move in stages: unaddressed confusion → emotional chaos → withdrawal → breakdown. Recognizing thresholds early is key. Culture conditions us to bury emotions, but unprocessed pain seeps into the body, becoming chronic illness if ignored. Healing begins with seeking support, not carrying the burden alone; guidance, energy work, or spiritual practice can be first steps. Dis-ease is not punishment—it is a signal. Healing is not perfection but a gradual unfolding of mind, body, and spirit.   Connect with the Guest   You can connect with Mridula Agarwal through her healing sessions and resources: Book a call via links: https://ireawake.com/paid-appointment-call-2hr-usd-99/ https://ireawake.com/30-min-free-appointment/ Join her weekly Saturday Zoom healing session - https://ireawake.com/product/online-reiki-healing-session-every-saturday/ Access her free video resource for first-hand experience  Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

"By mapping fiber optic cables accurately, we can transform them into dense seismic arrays. This opens the door to city-scale imaging and monitoring." Haipeng Li explains how distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) can turn existing urban fiber optic cables into powerful seismic arrays for near-surface imaging and monitoring. By using everyday traffic and ambient noise, his team can track groundwater changes, detect geohazards, and study fault structures without costly field deployments. This approach offers a new way for geophysicists, engineers, and city planners to work together for safer, more resilient urban environments. KEY TAKEAWAYS > Existing fiber optic cables can be transformed into dense, city-scale seismic arrays using DAS technology. > Vehicle-induced seismic waves provide highly repeatable data for monitoring small subsurface changes, while ambient noise helps extend imaging depth. > Urban DAS monitoring can reveal how infrastructure affects groundwater recharge and can support hazard assessment and infrastructure planning. GUEST BIO Haipeng Li is a third-year Ph.D. candidate in the Geophysics Department at Stanford University, advised by Biondo Biondi in the Stanford Earth Imaging Project (SEP). His research centers on spatiotemporal subsurface monitoring, with a focus on developing efficient and robust time-lapse seismic waveform inversion methods and uncertainty quantification approaches. He applies these techniques to real-world challenges such as geological CO2 sequestration for the energy transition and groundwater monitoring in urban environments, often leveraging Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) data. He is a student member of the AGU, SSA, and SEG. LINKS * Haipeng Li, Jingxiao Liu, and Biondo L.

In this milestone 100th episode, Tammy J. Bond tackles one of the biggest lies leaders tell themselves: that hope is a strategy. She celebrates the podcast's journey and shares why consistency and intentionality, not hope, are what keep a vision alive. This episode, part 5 in the 6 part series, powerfully debunks the myth that optimism or hard work will magically fix dysfunction. Tammy reveals how relying on hope leads to passivity, sets teams up for disappointment, and creates a culture of reaction instead of intention. She provides a clear, three-step toolkit for replacing passive hope with a proactive leadership strategy that gets results. This is a must-listen for any leader who knows their team can achieve more and is ready to stop wishing and start leading. Key Takeaways for Leaders Hope Is Not a Strategy: Relying on hope creates passivity and sets your team up for repeated disappointment and failure. The Cost of "Hoping": Harvard Business Review found that teams without clear strategies are three times more likely to fail, even with high morale. Where Hope Hides: Hope often hides in your hiring process, performance management, strategic planning, and conflict navigation. If Everyone Owns It, No One Owns It: Without clear accountability, goals become everyone's responsibility, leading to finger-pointing and chaos. Clarity Beats Chaos Every Time: The only way to move forward is by identifying and naming the problem, then creating a clear path to a solution. Quotes "Hope is a beautiful feeling, but friends, it's not a great strategy." "Your strategy is to let them know what your expectation is. That's your responsibility." "Hope is not the strategy. Leadership is about the clarity, ownership, and action that you bring to it as the leader." In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why relying on hope can be a financially and emotionally expensive mistake. The three key areas where leaders unknowingly rely on hope instead of a plan. A three-step practical toolkit for replacing passive hope with a proactive leadership strategy. How to build accountability ladders and create clear "sandbox rules" for your team. The difference between a leader who hopes and a leader who leads with intentionality. Call to Action: To celebrate our 100th episode, I'm challenging you to identify one area where you've been hoping instead of leading and take one bold step to fix it.

Your P&L Is Lying—Here's What to Track with Laresa McIntyre   Stop Chasing Revenue: How Fractional CFOs Clear the Financial Fog   Most business owners measure success by one thing: revenue growth. The problem? Revenue isn't cash—and it doesn't always translate into profit.   In this episode of Profit Answer Man, I sat down with Laresa McIntyre, founder of Rockbridge CFO, to uncover the blind spots that keep owners stuck in financial fog. Laresa brings over 15 years of CFO experience and now helps service-based businesses scale smarter with fractional CFO insight—without the six-figure price tags.   Key Lessons:  Profit Lives in Margins, Not Revenue. Chasing top-line growth without tracking margins is a recipe for burnout. Know which products and clients actually contribute to the bottom line, and be willing to cut or reprice the ones that don't. A CFO Looks Forward, Not Backward. Bookkeepers and controllers record history. A CFO interprets that history to help you forecast the future and make smarter decisions 6–24 months out. That's where clarity—and profit—comes from. Cash Forecasting Prevents Panic. Revenue timing rarely matches expense timing. A 12-week rolling cash forecast shows when money will actually land in your account and when bills come due, so payroll never sneaks up on you. Growth Can Be Dangerous if Mis-Timed. Hiring ahead of sales is one of the fastest ways to destroy profitability. Use metrics like revenue per employee or labor efficiency ratio to know when it's safe to add headcount. Dashboards Need Action, Not Pretty Charts. Software may give you colorful graphs, but what matters is knowing which levers to pull: raise prices, renegotiate vendor terms, or shift client mix. Insight beats aesthetics. Benchmark Yourself, Not the Industry. Industry averages often include failing businesses. The best benchmark is your own improvement over time—measured by profit, not just revenue. Financial Fog Is Optional. Most founders walk around in a financial fog because the numbers feel intimidating. The cure? Honest conversations with someone who can translate financials into simple, actionable steps.   Key Takeaways from the Conversation:  The P&L Is Not Cash. Your profit and loss statement is an important report—but it leaves out distributions, debt payments, and sometimes even taxes. Use it in context with your balance sheet and cash forecasts, or risk flying blind. Margins > Revenue. A “big client” may look impressive on paper, but if their gross margin is weak, they're draining your business. Focus on products, services, and customers that actually add to the bottom line. Forecast Cash Like Payroll Depends on It (Because It Does). A 12-week rolling cash forecast helps you avoid Friday panic. It reveals not just what's in the bank today, but what's coming in and going out over the next three months. Hire After Sales, Not Before. Scaling too fast with payroll is one of the biggest traps. Track revenue per employee and labor efficiency to know when it's really time to bring on the next hire. Dashboards Are Useless Without Insight. Pretty graphs won't grow your profit. The value is in translating numbers into action: what's working, what's broken, and what needs to change this month to protect your margins and cash flow.   About Laresa McIntyre: Laresa McIntyre is the founder of Rockbridge CFO, where she helps service-based businesses scale smarter by providing executive-level financial insight without the cost of a full-time CFO. A Certified Management Accountant with an MBA and Master's in Accounting, Laresa specializes in turning financial chaos into clarity, improving margins, and bringing calm to growth.   Links: https://www.rockbridgecfo.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laresamcintyre   Conclusion: Too many business owners work harder and harder for revenue, only to wonder why their bank balance never seems to catch up. The truth is, profit clarity comes not from chasing sales but from mastering margins, timing cash, and knowing when to grow.   As Laresa McIntyre reminds us, the P&L isn't cash, growth without discipline creates fragility, and dashboards without insight are just noise. When you cut through the fog with the right forecasts, metrics, and financial guidance, you finally get what every business owner craves: calm, control, and consistent profit.   #ProfitFirst #BusinessFinance #CashFlowFix #FractionalCFO #FinancialClarity #Profitability #SmartScaling #EntrepreneurFinance   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

Turning a side hustle into a profitable business is exciting, but sloppy bookkeeping and unclear invoices can drain your energy—and your wallet. In this AI-enhanced revisit, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche share a practical playbook for mastering side hustle finances, from clean record-keeping to professional billing. Why Side Hustle Finances Matter from Day One A side hustle isn't “extra cash”—it's a business. Rob warns that ignoring taxes or mixing personal and business funds can lead to stressful bills or legal trouble. Famous entertainers have learned this the hard way, and so can new entrepreneurs. Treat every paid project like a true business. Without strong side hustle finances, you can't see profits, plan for taxes, or protect yourself legally. Michael adds that registering an LLC shields personal assets but also demands accurate books: “If you can't track your personal budget, learn fast for your business.” Building a Side Hustle Finances Foundation The first step in managing side hustle finances is to separate them. Open a dedicated business bank account and credit card to keep personal funds safe and simplify reporting. A credit card provides fraud protection and reward points if you pay it off monthly. Choose tools that fit your stage: Wave (free tier), QuickBooks Self-Employed, FreshBooks, or Google Sheets. Snap photos of receipts and store them digitally so every expense is documented. Pro Tip: Pay off the business credit card monthly. You'll earn rewards and maintain a clean paper trail without carrying debt. Professional Invoicing for Healthy Cash Flow Clear, professional invoices are a cornerstone of good side hustle finances. Include: Business and client contact info Project details and dates Explicit payment terms (Net 30, due on receipt, or milestone-based) Offer multiple payment methods—Stripe, PayPal, ACH—and embed a “Pay Now” button to speed up processing. Rob notes that many companies pay at the last possible moment, so set firm terms and late-fee policies from day one. Challenge: Review your current invoice template. Does it clearly state deadlines and late-fee penalties? Update it before your next project. Managing Cash Flow and Hidden Costs Large deposits can trigger bank holds, especially if you've rebranded or opened a new account. Plan ahead so you can cover payroll or expenses without tapping personal savings. Understand the real cost of every payment method. Credit-card and ACH fees can quietly chip away at profits, so build those numbers into your pricing. Contracts and Boundaries Before starting any project, define what “done” means and capture it in a written agreement. Even a simple contract from LegalZoom can protect your work and ensure you're paid. No contract, no work. Require deposits and pause projects if clients miss payments. Never deliver final source code until the check clears. Key Takeaways for Side Hustle Finances Treat your side hustle like a business from day one. Separate accounts and track every expense with reliable tools. Send professional invoices with firm terms and enforce them. Anticipate bank delays and processor fees to keep cash flowing. Use contracts and deposits to protect your time and income. By following this side hustle finances playbook, you'll not only stay organized and get paid on time—you'll also build the financial habits that turn a part-time gig into a thriving business.

Why You Should Listen:  In this episode, you will learn about breakthrough therapies for chronic illness recovery including EBOO and TPE. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Tami Lyday.  Tami Lyday, DO, MS has been a physician since 2006 and a functional and integrative specialist since 2017.  Prior to that, she spent 11 years as a family practitioner but was never quite satisfied with conventional medical approaches.  Her mother's illness and subsequent side effects of traditional treatments prompted her to learn more about integrative medicine, and she has not looked back.  Dr. Lyday believes functional and integrative medicine is the best way to ensure lasting recovery as it helps patients determine the root of their health issues and does not rely on medications that treat symptoms while ignoring the underlying causes of illness.  She pursued training and certifications in functional and integrative medicine, including specialty training and certifications in the treatment of mold-related illnesses and Lyme disease. At the time of her certification, she was one of only 26 practitioners in the world who were Shoemaker certified in mold treatment protocols.  After 4 years as a functional and integrative medical practitioner, she opened The Lyday Center to provide a dedicated resource for people who are suffering from mystery illnesses and ailments that don't respond to conventional treatment and are seeking natural solutions to their chronic illnesses.  Since that time, she has expanded her specialties to include the treatment of thyroid disorders and overall energy levels.  Her mission is to heal the world one patient at a time.
