What is Pommeau? Pommeau is a: fortified blend of fresh apple must (unfermented) and apple brandy (typically Calvados in Normandy or Lambig in Brittany). The unfermented apple juice and brandy are combined before fermentation, which halts the process entirely and preserves natural sweetness. By law in France, Pommeau must be aged a minimum of 18 months in oak and produced within designated regions. It's rich, amber-colored, and served as an apéritif. It is consider to be a French heritage drink shaped by decades of refinement and protected standards. When did Pommeau receive AOC status? Pommeau received its official Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) status in 1991, formalizing the traditional method and legally protecting what can and cannot be called Pommeau within France. And in America? If you ask what Pommeau is in the United States, the answer is: nothing defined. There is no legal TTB definition, no standard of identity, and no trade agreement protecting the name. Yet hundreds of U.S. labels already use the word…sometimes accurately, sometimes loosely, often inconsistently. So the question becomes, "What happens when a French classic with strict rules lands on U.S. labels with no rules at all?" That's the conversation American isn't having… yet. In this episode, Ria speaks with alcohol beverage attorney Lindsey Zahn to unpack what it means to use the word Pommeau in the U.S.—legally, culturally, ethically—and what cider makers and consumers should consider going forward.

Labeling ourselves as "survivors" reinforces a victim mentality. Jesus provided a means for us to become overcomers, rather than mere survivors. He desires our complete deliverance and healing. The price He paid is more than sufficient to guarantee our triumph over every enemy attack.

In this week's Ag Tribes Report, Vance Crowe is joined by fifth-generation Texas Panhandle farmer Casey Kimbrell for a fast, candid breakdown of three stories rocking agriculture. They unpack the touted Trump–Xi "soybean breakthrough," asking whether a 25 MMT annual commitment is progress or just a return to pre-trade-war status quo. Then they wade into the renewed push for mandatory country-of-origin labeling in beef, the packer vs. rancher incentives behind the current system, and why transparency matters more than ever. They close the news block with Bill Gates' pivot from climate alarmism toward prioritizing vaccines, and what a shift in climate narratives could mean for farm economics and regulations. Beyond the headlines, Casey shares his Bitcoin-to-land price snapshot from Colorado, explains why he believes anyone can succeed in agriculture with relentless optimism and grit, and names Donald Trump as his "worthy adversary" amid criticism of recent moves affecting cattle markets. It's a spirited, no-spin conversation about trade, labeling, climate, and the hard realities of building a future in ag—always with room to respectfully disagree.Legacy Interviews - A service that records individuals and couples telling their life stories so that future generations can know their family history. https://www.legacyinterviews.com/experienceRiver.com - Invest in Bitcoin with Confidence https://river.com/signup?r=OAB5SKTP https://river.com/invite?r=OAB5SKTP
Music Labeling Episodio #1 - Ninja Tune La label Ninja Tune nasce nel 1990 a Londra grazie ai Coldcut. I due artisti sentivano il bisogno di costruirsi uno spazio dove poter liberare la loro creatività, limitata spesso dalle restrizioni imposte dalle major. Da quel momento prese piede un movimento musicale inarrestabile, tutt`ora in voga, che ha consentito a numerosi artisti di esprimere le proprie sonorità sperimentali.

You're a growth-minded leader. You see possibilities everywhere. You believe your team can do more, be more, achieve more. So why does it feel like you're the only one? Why does every conversation about change feel like pushing a boulder uphill? Why do your ideas land with silence? Why does it feel like you're dragging them forward instead of leading them there? You've probably told yourself: "They're just stuck. They're comfortable. They don't want to grow." But what if that's not the real problem? This week, I'm sharing a question a client asked me that I cannot stop thinking about. And I promise—the answer is going to surprise you.

Professor Epstein Slams Trump's Economic Policies as 'State Socialism'. Professor Richard Epstein analyzes four Trump administration economic decisions concerning Intel, Nvidia, US Steel, and MP Mining, labeling them forms of state-owned enterprise or "state socialism." Epstein argues that acquiring golden shares or negotiating side deals—like Nvidia paying 15% of China revenue—destroys market value, undercuts competitors, and violates the neutral application of laws. He also critiques the Gaza deal, stating Hamas must be wiped out before any subsequent phases of the agreement can proceed. 1910 FRESNO

The Value Of Your Archive Welcome to another powerful communication podcast from Comsteria, hosted by Colin Kelly. Every business is, to some extent, in the content business, requiring written content, video, and audio to populate social media, bring internal communications to life, and drive specific business objectives. While many businesses are realizing that content holds real financial value, they often get caught in the cycle of having to create material from scratch. In this episode, Colin encourages clients to think about the immense value of their content archive. Drawing lessons from television and radio—industries that have long understood that they do not always need to create things from scratch—we explore how to maximize the value of your existing materials. You will learn how to ensure your content has a proper lifecycle by recycling and repurposing it across different formats, instead of just putting it out once and crossing your fingers. We discuss how to evaluate content to determine its ongoing value, where else it can be used, and when. The archive can contain "real gold", including material that was never even published. However, this value is only realized if the archive is properly managed and used. We detail the essential disciplines needed for an accessible archive, including: Labeling and tagging content correctly at the moment of creation. Ensuring content is stored securely, accessibly, and backed up (offline, offsite, and potentially in the cloud). Creating a non-laborious, searchable system so you can turn things around quickly and repurpose them. Whether you are digitizing materials from 20 or 50 years ago, or just starting good practices today, this podcast offers quick thoughts and insights on how to transform your content archive from mountains of forgotten stuff into a crucial business asset.

Summary: Consumers rejected genetically modified crops, and I expect they will do the same for cultivated meat. The meat lobby will fight to discredit the new technology, and as consumers are already primed to believe it's unnatural, it won't be difficult to persuade them. When I hear people talk about cultivated meat (i.e. lab-grown meat) and how it will replace traditional animal agriculture, I find it depressingly reminiscent of the techno-optimists of the 1980s and ‘90s speculating about how genetic modification will solve all our food problems. The optimism of the time was understandable: in 1994 the first GMO product was introduced to supermarkets, and the benefits of the technology promised incredible rewards. GMOs were predicted to bring about the end of world hunger, all while requiring less water, pesticides, and land.Today, thirty years later, in the EU GM foods are so regulated that they are [...] ---Outline:(01:56) Why did GMOs fail to be widely adopted?(02:44) A Bad First Impression(05:54) Unpopular Corporate Concentration(07:22) Cultivated Meat IS GMO(08:45) What timeline are we in?(10:24) What can be done to prevent cultivated meat from becoming irrelevant?(10:30) Expect incredible opposition(11:46) Be ready to tell a clear story about the benefits.(13:17) A proactive PR Effort(15:01) First impressions matter(17:16) Labeling(19:35) Be ready to discuss concerns about unnaturalness(21:56) Limitations of the comparison(23:07) Conclusion--- First published: September 22nd, 2025 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/rMQA9w7ZM7ioZpaN6/cultivated-meat-a-wakeup-call-for-optimists --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article:Apple Podcasts and Spotify do not show images in the episode description.

Summary In this episode of the Ali Damron Show, Ali discusses the pervasive issue of anxiety, sharing her personal experiences and insights gained from working with patients over the years. She emphasizes that anxiety is not a character flaw but a learned brain pattern that can be unlearned through understanding and practical strategies. The conversation covers the science behind anxiety, the importance of emotional expression, and actionable steps to engage with life despite anxiety. Ali encourages listeners to practice self-compassion and to view anxiety as a protective mechanism rather than a debilitating condition. Takeaways Anxiety manifests differently for everyone, both physically and mentally. Understanding anxiety as a learned behavior can empower individuals to change their responses. Neuroplasticity allows us to unlearn anxiety and create new brain pathways. Labeling anxiety as a false alarm can help diffuse its power. Allowing feelings of anxiety without resistance is crucial for healing. Engaging in life despite anxiety is essential for personal growth. Emotional expression is key to processing underlying feelings that contribute to anxiety. Self-compassion is vital in the journey of overcoming anxiety. Avoidant behaviors reinforce anxiety; facing fears is necessary for progress. Practicing small steps towards facing anxiety can lead to significant changes. Sound bites "Anxiety is not a character flaw." "Label it as a false alarm." "Self-compassion is key."

Episode Description: The Clay Edwards Show - Chaos in Jackson, Steakhouses, and True Crime HorrorIn this fiery episode of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards dives into a whirlwind of local headlines, cultural commentary, and hard-hitting discussions straight from the heart of Mississippi. Kicking things off with breaking news, Clay reacts to a wild overnight police chase involving a stolen SUV that started in Jackson, spilled into Pearl, and ended in a crash at the Jackson Airport parking lot. Labeling the suspects as "future rocket scientists" who clearly underestimated Rankin County's no-nonsense policing, Clay awards them his signature "FAFO" (F'd Around and Found Out) championship, complete with humorous predictions about their backgrounds and a plea for names and photos from authorities. He flips the script on typical chase narratives, noting how rare it is for criminals to flee east into Rankin County instead of bouncing back into Jackson's "criminal safe haven."Shifting gears, Clay addresses a viral brawl at Char, a upscale Jackson steakhouse, sparked by a listener's text. He calls out Sheriff Tyree Jones for posting on Facebook urging everyone to "wrap up the conversation" by 8:00 AM, comparing it to telling a woman to calm down—guaranteed to backfire. Clay questions why even fine dining spots aren't immune to "culture rot," emphasizing that if people can't behave at a white-tablecloth restaurant, where can they? He stresses there's no need to risk Jackson for good food anymore, with plenty of options in Rankin and Madison Counties.The show takes a lighter turn as Clay polls listeners on their favorite steakhouses, turning it into the "question of the day." Recommendations pour in via calls and texts, highlighting spots like Kessler Prime, Shapley's, Wendell Steakhouse, Gibbs in Learned, Henry's Team 10 in Pearl, Cypress Point Resort (with its ribeye sandwich blue plate special), Crooked Letter Kitchen, and more. A caller inquires about Gibbs' location, leading to a fun exchange about Rankin County dining gems. Clay even suggests Brandon needs its own top-tier steakhouse and shouts out local spots for their steaks and atmospheres.Clay then tackles national news, explaining why a potential government shutdown could be a silver lining for conservatives. He shares insights on how it might allow the administration to cut bureaucratic fat, terminate "untouchable" officials, and reshape programs—describing it as a "bloodbath for the bureaucracy." Dismissing fears for normies, he argues it's a chance to save taxpayer money and drain the swamp, while criticizing continuing resolutions as a symptom of a broken political system.The episode's most intense segment focuses on the horrific case of Daniel Callahan, dubbed a "demonic satanic meth-fueled demon." Clay recounts the Louisiana man's crimes: murdering his girlfriend, killing one of her young daughters, and sexually abusing the surviving 6-year-old "every way imaginable" before abandoning the girls in a South Jackson ditch. He blasts the justice system for opting for life without parole across states instead of the death penalty, questioning why prosecutors didn't pursue execution despite overwhelming evidence. Clay expresses outrage at the girlfriend's involvement in the abuse and calls for accountability, lamenting how Jackson's reputation as a "criminal safe haven" enabled the atrocities.Throughout, Clay weaves in sharp cultural takes, from mocking low-testosterone critics to linking higher testosterone levels with conservative voting tendencies (backed by studies). He defends his unfiltered style against accusations of racism, insisting he's a realist calling out "culture rot" based on lived experience in Jackson. Guest Andrew Gosser joins for the second hour, adding perspectives on military life, government inefficiencies, and societal moral decay.Packed with raw energy, listener interactions, and no-holds-barred opinions, this episode is a rollercoaster of local drama, food talk, and serious commentary—perfect for anyone tracking Mississippi's pulse. Tune in for Clay's unapologetic take on why chaos often reveals deeper truths.
Your money soundtrack—what plays on repeat in your head—will either help or hinder your financial decisions. We all know the power of overthinking—but the good news is, you can change the tune of those money soundtracks playing in your mind. Jon Acuff joins us today to show you how.Jon Acuff is a New York Times bestselling author, speaker, and podcaster who helps people overcome overthinking, change their mindsets, and achieve goals. He's written 10 books, including Soundtracks: The Surprising Solution to Overthinking.What Are “Soundtracks”?Soundtracks are the repeated thoughts that play in our minds—like music on loop. They can be helpful or harmful, but either way, they shape our lives.If you'd like to change the soundtracks that you have been listening to, this framework is simple yet profound:Retire the broken soundtracks that hold you back.Replace them with healthier, truthful ones.Repeat them until they become second nature.It's not enough to get rid of the old. You have to replace it with the new.Retiring Broken SoundtracksThe first step is to identify what's holding you back. Write down a financial goal—such as paying off debt, buying a home, or supporting missionaries—and then pay attention to your immediate thoughts.Are they encouraging or discouraging? Many people quickly hear internal voices saying things like:“Who are you to think you could do that?”“You'll never make more than your parents.”“Money isn't for people like you.”These are broken soundtracks—thoughts that undermine God's best for your life. Sometimes, they're inherited.Here are several unhealthy financial soundtracks that many people believe:“Mo Money, Mo Problems.” Popularized by a hip-hop song, this belief ties success to stress. But lacking money doesn't eliminate problems either—it often magnifies them. “I'll give when I'm successful.” Many delay generosity until they feel financially “ready.” But giving is a practice best learned in small amounts now, so it grows with you over time. “I'm not a money person.” Labeling yourself this way shuts the door on growth. Money management is a skill, not a fixed identity.These soundtracks don't just affect finances; they limit your potential. In one survey that Jon conducted with 3,000 people, a staggering 96% reported not living up to their full potential—often due to limiting beliefs.Replacing Soundtracks with TruthOnce you identify the lies, it's time to replace them. That can mean flipping the negative thought on its head, seeking wisdom in Scripture, or learning from mentors.Some examples of healthier money soundtracks include:“I can do amazing things with money.”“I can make more than my parents, and that's okay.”“I am my own biggest venture capitalist—my day job is funding my dream.”But what if you feel stuck? We encourage you to start small. Too often, people believe they must overhaul their entire lives overnight. Instead, try carving out 15 minutes a day to take one positive step forward. Over time, those mustard-seed-sized efforts compound into meaningful change.The truth is that the thoughts you repeat about money directly influence how you use it. Broken soundtracks can sabotage generosity, stunt growth, and even cause you to reject God's gifts. However, by retiring lies and replacing them with truth, and repeating them faithfully, you can align your mindset with God's wisdom.If you change the thought, you'll change the actions, and then the results will follow.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm looking at Medicare Advantage plans.

Healthy Eating Mistakes You Could Be MakingEven if you know what you should be eating, putting that knowledge into action can feel like an Olympic sport. Many “mistakes” aren't deal-breakers…Here are some common pitfalls that might be tripping you up.Skipping those important nutrients: Protein and fiber are MVPs when it comes to staying energized and satisfied—think beans, eggs, whole grains, or veggies. You're stuck in restriction mode: Instead of obsessing over what you can't eat, focus on creative swaps and additions that feel exciting.You're planning for the short-term, not long-term. You're all-or-nothing about food: Labeling foods as “good” or “bad” can backfire and leave you feeling guilty instead of motivated. You're ignoring frozen veggies. You're eating like your younger self.One Sentence That Changed Your LifeBuzzFeed asked readers to share the one sentence that had a life-changing effect and these are some of their real and relatable responses."A coworker once told me, 'Nobody on their deathbed says, 'I wish I had worked more.'''"My parents used to ask me, 'Will this matter in ten years?' when I was upset. It was annoying at the time, but it always did put things into perspective.""In terms of relationships: 'Stop watering dead and fake plants.'""My best boss said, 'I don't care what you screw up; learn from it and don't do it again.'""My mom says, 'Don't borrow trouble.' I love it so much.

We're often taught to push away grief, sadness, anxiety, or anger, but what if those emotions aren't the enemy, but the key to resilience? In this episode, Harvard psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Susan David explains why emotions aren't good or bad, positive or negative. She breaks down the groundbreaking concept of emotional agility, the skill set that allows us to face our thoughts and feelings with curiosity, compassion, and courage, and then move forward guided by our values. We also talk about why toxic positivity is so damaging, how difficult emotions signpost what matters most, and why learning to “hold anxiety in one hand and courage in the other” changes the way we work, lead, and live. Tune in to learn how to stop letting your emotions dictate your actions and start using them as valuable data. In this Episode, You Will Learn 00:00 Why emotions are not good or bad. 05:00 How toxic positivity and “forced optimism” hurt leaders and organizations. 09:45 Why suppressing emotions leads to burnout, conflict, and emotional leakage. 13:00 How emotional agility differs from rigidity. 17:00 How anxiety and fear can actually point you to your values. 19:45 Why connecting to your values protects against burnout. 23:00 The cost of sidelining emotions in schools, workplaces, and culture. 27:00 How uncertainty and discomfort are the price of admission to a meaningful life. 31:00 Why grief is “love looking for its home” and how to honor it. 34:00 Listener story about grief, caregiving, and professional identity after loss. 42:00 What organizations can do to support employees navigating caregiving and grief.

In this episode Andrea revisits her 2019 conversation with Dr. Daniel J. Siegel to explore Mindsight — his science-based approach to understanding the mind, integrating the brain, and cultivating empathy. Dr. Siegel explains the difference between mind and brain, the benefits of the Wheel of Awareness meditation, and how Mindsight can change brain structure and improve health. Watch full interview here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7pnea2Vbzc Practical tips include daily Mindsight practice, naming emotions to build self-awareness, and simple emotional check-ins to make learning and relationships more meaningful. This week, in our review of EP 28 with Daniel J. Siegel, MD and his book Mindsight, we learned: ✔ The Difference Between the Mind and the Brain. ✔ The Benefits of The Wheel of Awareness Meditation. ✔ How to Understand and Apply Mindsight that gives us insight into ourselves, and empathy for others. ✔ How Mindsight can change brain structure and improve health. ✔ In order to make teaching and learning more meaningful, what we are teaching must have an element of emotion. 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. Episode 371: For today's Episode 371, we continue our journey into the mind with the next interview review. Just a reminder-this review series began back with Episode 366[i], where in Part 3 we discovered an important lesson: if we don't like our results—or what we see on the outside—we need to shift our mindset and look within. True change always begins on the inside. EP 369[ii] we learned how to Rewire our Brain with Dr. Dawson Church and his Bliss Brain Meditations, and then last week, EP 370[iii] with John Medina's Brain Rules, we reviewed how important this understanding of neuroscience is, especially connected to education, teaching and learning. Which brings us to today's review, EP 371, where we revisit a very early episode with clinical professor of psychiatry from UCLA's School of Medicine, Dr. Daniel J Siegel. He's from EP 28[iv], that was recorded back in November of 2019. As we take this journey deeper into the mind, Dr. Dan Siegel offers the perfect place to begin, with his ability to bridge cutting-edge neuroscience and practical wisdom. Dr. Dan Siegel, is well known for his books, trainings and courses that bridge cutting edge neuroscience with mindfulness and therapy. A reminder of his background-he's a clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine and executive director of the Mindsight Institute[v] where you can find his courses, workshops, books and tools to help anyone understand and apply what can sometimes be complicated scientific concepts and make them easy to understand and applicable to our daily lives. At the end of the interview, I let Dr. Siegel know that I had been practicing his Wheel of Awareness Meditation, and ended up reviewing what I learned on EP 60[vi] where we explored the Science Behind a Meditation Practice. You can watch the whole interview by clicking on the link in the resource section in the show notes, and learn all about Dr. Siegel's work that encompasses schools, with resiliency, brain science and helping our next generation to understand how to apply these important strategies whether it's in our classrooms, or workplaces of the future. Today we will continue to explore within, sharpen our mindset, and learn about what Dr. Siegel calls Mindsight. VIDEO 1 Click Here to Watch In Clip 1, Dr. Siegel unpacks the concept of Mindsight and helps clarify the difference between the mind and the brain, when I asked him to explain this distinction. I knew this wasn't an easy question—as I had already listened to him answer it many times over the years, and still wasn't sure I fully grasped it. In fact, I even tried to tackle it myself back in Episode 23[vii], Understanding Your Brain and Mind for Increased Results. But revisiting this topic now, I can see this concept requires a much deeper reflection. So, I asked Dr. Siegel if we could look at his definition of the mind—one he has been studying for years and that many in his scientific and educational circles agree on. He describes the mind as “an embodied and relational process—since it's in the body and it's in our relationships with one another—that regulates the flow of energy and information.” I wanted to hear him expand on this again, especially around why relationships are so critical for our health, our well-being, and for creating what he calls an integrated brain—which he equates with a healthy brain. His answer helped me to understand the importance of implementing Mindsight into our daily life. He said: “The word mind doesn't actually have a formal definition—not in education, psychotherapy, or even in fields like psychology that study it directly. But if we look closely, the mind includes your subjective experience—that inner feeling of being alive. It also includes consciousness—the ability to know that you're having that subjective experience. And beyond that, there's information processing—which doesn't always require consciousness and is essentially what school focuses on: learning to process information. When you understand the mind as a self-organizing process—a complex system that regulates its own becoming—you begin to see the power of teaching about the mind itself. This is what we call Mindsight. And if we could bring this understanding into education, the outcomes for students would be profoundly different.” Key Tip 1 with Dr. Dan Siegel 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 then next, how we attune to the inner world of someone else. Mindsight gives us insight into ourselves, and empathy for others.”
Episode 2695 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss a listener's bizarre health report, how labeling lies matter, and not limiting your goals. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/09/labeling-lies-matter-episode-2695 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - Labeling Lies Matter Scott, a listener, was in horrible shape, but a family member called CPS services because they were worried for his well-being. (2:00) They thought he was going through a mental health challenge because he was eating healthfully and trying to become active. Protective Services observed him for 3 months to ensure nothing was wrong. But now, the family is on board. (7:00) The ridiculous viewpoint appears to be that a person must be mentally unstable for trying to eat low-carb and for eating more healthfully. (11:00) Vinnie's “Dirty Keto” documentary was prophetic. Companies had started marketing products labeled “keto” that were still junk. (17:00) Lawsuits are popping up based on claims made on certain keto product labels. LMNT electrolytes is being called out for the use of things like maltodextrin hidden under the canopy of “natural flavors.” (21:00) It's interesting to see people start to push back against Big Food. (27:00) “Keto Certified” is not something the FDA actually does. Washington, D.C, is one of the most expensive places to live in the United States, and it's not a coincidence that it's filled with luxury shopping areas. (37:00) Back to the RFK fitness challenge video (link below for reference). (43:00) Some view it as unfeasible for most people, so they shouldn't even try. (45:00) The moral of the story is to try something new and set goals. Get started at the level you can begin now, and set incremental goals. The goal isn't the problem—the problem is the limited mindset. (54:00) If you are interested in the NSNG® VIP group, it will be reopening soon.

Be ready, stay grounded, and communicate clearly — no matter what's at stake.Communicating under pressure isn't just a useful skill — it can be the difference between escalation and resolution. For Chris Voss, former FBI hostage negotiator and CEO of The Black Swan Group, it's a daily discipline built on empathy, self-regulation, and intentional listening. In this expanded conversation from our Spontaneous Speaking miniseries, Voss offers a rare window into the mindset and methods that helped him show up calm, focused, and adaptable when the pressure is sky-high.“Emotional intelligence is an insane accelerator to outcomes,” Voss shares, explaining how empathy, tone, and timing can shift the direction of any conversation. He breaks down techniques like labeling and mirroring, explores how to use silence and word choice strategically, and explains why overthinking can be just as risky as acting too fast. From gut-level pattern recognition to tactical use of voice, Voss shows how communication becomes more impactful when we're not trying to control — but to connect.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Voss and host Matt Abrahams dive into how negotiation techniques developed for life-or-death situations can be applied far beyond them — offering powerful takeaways for anyone who needs to think clearly under pressure, stay agile in the moment, and communicate effectively when it matters most.Episode Reference Links:Chris Voss Chris's Book: Never Split the Difference Ep.197 Prep or Perish: Mastering In-the-Moment Communication (1 of 3)Ep.198 Pause and Effect: Mastering In-the-Moment Communication (2 of 3)Ep.199 Blunder Pressure: Mastering In-the-Moment Communication (3 of 3)Ep.203 No Script, No Problem: Final Secrets to Speaking Under Pressure (Bonus) Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:50) - Path to Hostage Negotiation (03:42) - Power of Emotional Intelligence (05:00) - Staying Calm Under Pressure (06:10) - Mental Prep & Mindset (07:18) - Trusting Your Gut (07:58) - Avoiding Overthinking (09:01) - Flexibility in Negotiations (10:15) - Listen More, Talk Less (10:31) - Labeling & Mirroring (12:51) - Tone Shapes Impact (14:06) - The Final Three Questions (19:37) - Conclusion *****Thank you to our sponsors:Strawberry.me.

In today's episode of the Play Therapy Podcast, I continue our Art of the Session series by outlining three key session guidelines that don't fall into the typical “skills” category, but are essential to ensuring we remain adherent to the CCPT model. These are not techniques, but foundational principles we must uphold in every session: (1) Don't label—follow the child's metaphor, (2) Maintain neutrality, and (3) Never possess knowledge the child doesn't possess. I break each of these down with specific examples and explain why they're so critical to creating a therapeutic environment that respects the child's autonomy, encourages self-trust, and preserves the purity of the CCPT approach. These guidelines help safeguard the therapeutic process and remind us that even small deviations—like labeling a toy or defining a word—can have significant impact on the child's experience in the playroom. This is a vital reminder that our job is not to teach, but to create space for children to discover, express, and grow.

#239: California organic farmer and Del Cabo cooperative founder Larry Jacobs returns to discuss why organic farming must remain firmly rooted in soil and not bend to allow hydroponics. Larry's proven commitment to integrity comes through via his role in a lawsuit against the USDA over the inclusion of hydroponics under the organic seal, as well as his efforts to educate his staff about the issues facing the organic movement, beyond their daily work.https://realorganicproject.org/larry-jacobs-lawsuit-labeling-organic-239The Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/directoryWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000 Real Friends:https://www.realorganicproject.org/real-organic-friends/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/
In this episode, Justina discusses the importance of seeking inner validation rather than relying on external sources to cope with difficult emotions. She emphasizes that emotions are a form of communication from the body and that they should be felt and acknowledged rather than fixed or analyzed. By allowing ourselves to fully experience our emotions, we can tap into deeper truths and insights that reside within us, leading to better emotional health and self-awareness.Chapters00:00 The Quest for Inner Validation08:14 Understanding Emotions as Body Language11:52 The Power of Allowing Emotions to ExistTakeaways:If you seek outer validation, you're missing out on inner truth.Difficult emotions often just need to be felt, not fixed.Emotions are the body's language, communicating deeper truths.Resisting emotions leads to rumination and more discomfort.Labeling emotions can help in processing them effectively.Allowing emotions to exist is crucial for emotional health.Talking about problems may not lead to solutions.Your subconscious holds answers that your conscious mind may not access.Emotional reactions are invitations to listen to your body.Compassion towards your emotions fosters healing.Join the next monthly embodiment session:https://www.raindropmovement.com/feminine-embodiment-online-weekly-classesCONNECT WITH JUSTINA:On Instagram for more insights: https://www.instagram.com/justinabwashington/ ✉️Receive weekly letters of hope: https://justina.myflodesk.com/eb5svn6o52Share your thoughts and experiences with us!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Leave a podcast review on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-girl-free-woman-healing-codependency-toxic-relationships/id1541749752 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Leave a podcast review on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/4Gfn08oYk6rjcJ168fdRoH?si=eb4e0dc584bd4a28Tune in to discover how to move beyond words and find real solutions within yourself.

Park's assessment allows his readers to rethink, reevaluate, and reimagine Jewish-Christian relations; teaches them how to respond to the vicious cycle of slander, labeling, and violence permeating contemporary public and private spheres; and presents a new hermeneutical cycle and describes how readers may apply it to their own sociopolitical contexts.After surveying previous studies of the text, Park first analyses Paul's welcome, questioning, and arrest, and how slandering and labeling make Paul an outsider. Park then describes how, through defending his Jewish identity and the Way, Paul nuances his public image and re-categorizes himself and the Way as part of the people of God. When Paul identifies himself as a Roman and later a Pharisee, Park examines Luke's ambivalent attitude toward Rome and the Pharisees, and assesses how Paul escapes dangerous situations by claiming different social identities at different times.Finally, he discloses the vicious cycle of slander, labeling, and violence not only against the Way but also against the Jews and challenges the discursive process of identity construction through intergroup conflict with an out-group, especially the proximate “Other.” Furthermore, he demonstrates how the relevance of such scholarship is not limited to Lukan studies or even biblical studies in general; the frequent use of slander, labeling, and violence in the politics of the United States and other polarized countries around the globe demands new ways of looking at intergroup relations, and Park's argument meets the needs of those seeking a new perspective on contemporary political discord. Hyun Ho Park is Associate Pastor of the First United Methodist Church of Yuba City, California and Editor-in-Chief of the Asian American Theological Forum. Jonathon Lookadoo is Associate Professor at the Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary in Seoul, South Korea. While his interests range widely over the world of early Christianity, he is the author of books on the Epistle of Barnabas, Ignatius of Antioch, and the Shepherd of Hermas, including The Christology of Ignatius of Antioch (Cascade, 2023).

Inventory and materials management may not sound glamorous, but for us—and for any thriving shop—it's the difference between healthy cashflow and a financial chokehold. In this Machine Shop MBA conversation, we break down how smart inventory practices—both physical and digital—can free up space, cut costs, and improve delivery performance. From raw materials and finished goods to WIP and cutting tools, we share the financial, operational, and workflow implications of what you keep on the shelf (and what you shouldn't). You'll hear real-world examples of vendor-managed material programs, strategies for keeping traceability without burying yourself in admin work, and ways we've turned “dead” stock into real cash. We also dig into why inventory accuracy matters beyond just making parts—touching on tax implications, property valuations, and how inventory missteps can kill the value of your business in a sale. And if you've ever lost hours hunting for the right cutter or fixture, our storage and tracking advice might change the way you think about tooling forever.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, those exploiting the MAGA movement for personal gain have been exposed. These fake MAGA figures, like Chatsworth Qatarlson (Tucker Carlson), are grifting, lying, and promoting anti-American sentiments while falsely claiming to support America First. They support regimes like Iran and Qatar, which funded terrorism and undermined U.S. interests. Fake MAGA is very upset that their team, Iran, is losing. They want you to believe that patriotism is isolationism. Peace is not mere avoidance of conflict but a state secured through strength and decisive action against threats like Iran's nuclear ambitions. No great president—Washington, Lincoln, Reagan, or Trump—would tolerate such dangers. "America First" prioritizes national security and global stability, not isolationism. It demands pragmatic, not ideological, foreign policy, assessing each threat uniquely. Labeling prudent action as "pro-war" is a misnomer; opposing nuclear-armed terrorists is pro-American. A Kamala Harris presidency, aligning with appeasement, would weaken America and allies like Israel. Trump's leadership, grounded in common sense, rejects endless wars but never shies from necessary action. There's a CNN poll showing 79% of Americans (83% Republicans, 79% Democrats/independents) oppose Iran's nuclear ambitions, with a slight majority favoring U.S. airstrikes on Iran's nuclear sites (69% of Republicans agree, 27% oppose). This refutes the small group of isolationists, amplified by the media, who downplay Iran's threat and align with left-wing narratives, asserting most Americans support Trump's strong stance on national security. These isolationist voices are paper tigers who align with left-wing media to downplay Iran's threat and question intelligence on Iran's nuclear program and assassination attempts against President Trump. Iran's nuclear ambitions and ballistic missile development pose an existential threat to Israel and American civilization, which cannot be ignored. Israel, possibly with U.S. assistance, will take military action to neutralize this threat, as Iran will not go away on its own. Iran's actions, including attacks via proxies and American casualties, demand a decisive military response, which is self-defense rather than nation-building. These radical Democrats, fifth-columnists, and isolationists lack any strategy and moral clarity. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, peace is not mere avoidance of conflict but a state secured through strength and decisive action against threats like Iran's nuclear ambitions. No great president—Washington, Lincoln, Reagan, or Trump—would tolerate such dangers. "America First" prioritizes national security and global stability, not isolationism. It demands pragmatic, not ideological, foreign policy, assessing each threat uniquely. Labeling prudent action as "pro-war" is a misnomer; opposing nuclear-armed terrorists is pro-American. A Kamala Harris presidency, aligning with appeasement, would weaken America and allies like Israel. Trump's leadership, grounded in common sense, rejects endless wars but never shies from necessary action. Also, Israel has a right to live in a free society. These attacks from Iran, ongoing for years and escalating since October 7th, force Israelis to live in constant fear, with frequent sirens driving families to seek shelter in protective rooms or basements multiple times a day. This relentless situation disrupts normal life, preventing children from playing in parks or attending school regularly, and could cause significant psychological strain. Later, some members of Congress, mostly Democrats and a few Republicans, are attempting to undermine the President's authority as Commander-in-Chief by citing the War Powers Act of 1973. This law is unconstitutional, as it shifts power from the President to Congress, contradicting the Constitution's design. The President, it asserts, holds sole authority over military decisions, while Congress's role is limited to declaring war and controlling funding. Afterward, Sean Hannity calls in to discuss the Israel/Iran war. Hannity explains that Trump's leadership is defined by common-sense principles, particularly his consistent stance since 2011 that Iran must never acquire nuclear weapons. He contrasts this with misguided isolationism, asserting that preventing a nuclear-armed Iran is critical to global security. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
