Podcasts about Layering

Cracks put teeth at risk of infection and fracture if left untreated, but treating cracks in teeth can create many challenges for practitioners. Removing cracks without good magnification, visibility and an understanding of crack propagation puts the nerve and critical tooth structure at risk. Once the crack is removed, the non-standard defect requires specific techniques to bond to deep areas of the tooth while maintaining a strong bond.Dr. David Alleman, DDS, first began researching treatment options for cracks because he recognized that full coverage crowns weren't yielding predictable results. Adhesive dentistry had the potential to offer a more predictable alternative, but the protocols didn't exist for practitioners. So he formulated those protocols for predictable crack treatment himself. Articles referenced in this episode:Belli S., Et al.

What if fragrance is far more than something you wear? What if it is a portal to memory, a confidence tool, a personal signature and one of the most powerful ways we shape how we feel? In this deeply personal conversation, Kate Waterhouse and Bahar Etminan explore the emotional power of scent and the role fragrance plays throughout our lives. From treasured memories of mothers and grandmothers to iconic perfumes that defined entire generations, they unpack why scent remains one of the strongest emotional triggers we experience. Together they discuss how fragrance influences mood, confidence and identity, how our preferences evolve through different life stages, and why the rituals surrounding scent can become an important part of how we show up in the world.

What if the fragrances you're drawn to have less to do with notes and more to do with who you are? In this episode, I sit down with beauty expert, make up artist and Creator Ellen Malone for a fascinating conversation about the emotional and psychological power of scent. We explore how colour can influence fragrance preferences, why certain perfumes become part of our identity, and how scent can be used as a tool for confidence, transformation and self-expression. From treasured vintage bottles and signature scents to fragrance layering and the stories we attach to perfume throughout our lives, this episode is a masterclass in understanding the deeper role fragrance plays in shaping how we feel and how we present ourselves to the world. Whether you're a fragrance collector, a beauty enthusiast or simply curious about why certain scents move you, you'll discover a new way to think about perfume. @askellenbeautyKey Takeaways Colour can be a surprisingly accurate predictor of fragrance preference. Fragrance is often less about smelling good and more about how we want to feel. Scent creates powerful emotional anchors linked to memory and identity. Layering allows fragrance lovers to create something uniquely personal. A signature scent can become part of how others remember us. Perfume is both an emotional ritual and a form of self-expression.

SummaryTime is the one resource we cannot make more of. That is the uncomfortable truth sitting at the centre of Cassie Holmes' remarkable book, and it is the thread Garth and I pull on throughout this conversation.Cassie is a professor at UCLA Anderson School of Management, and her research does something rare. It takes happiness seriously as a subject of rigorous study. Not as a feel-good concept, but as something worth measuring, protecting, and designing your life around.What landed for us in this conversation was how directly her work applies to leadership. We spend a lot of time in schools talking about culture and well-being, but we do not always turn that lens on ourselves. This episode is an invitation to do exactly that.If you have ever felt busy but not fulfilled, productive but not present, this one is for you.Chapters00:00 Introduction to The Happier Hour08:40 The importance of time in leadership11:41 Strategies for effective time management14:56 Building happiness into your leadership practice17:50 The concept of time empathy20:52 Looking ahead30:10 Beard's Book Club outroKey TakeawaysThe time audit is where it starts. Cassie's research asks a simple but unsettling question: do you actually know how you are spending your time? Mapping it honestly, without judgment, is the first step toward changing it.Happiness stacking is not a luxury. Layering small moments of genuine enjoyment into your existing schedule is a practice, not an indulgence. Leaders who do this consistently are more present and more effective.Presence is the point. Being physically somewhere and actually being there are two different things. Cassie's work reinforces what we see in schools every day: the leaders who show up fully are the ones people remember.Time empathy matters. Understanding that the people we lead experience time differently than we do changes how we schedule, how we communicate, and how we build culture. It is worth sitting with.The 5AM club is not for everyone, but the principle is. Protecting some portion of your day for what matters most to you is non-negotiable if you want to lead sustainably.Quotes"Get out there and do a little bit of me-search on time."Cassie Holmes"Lead with your heart and be authentic."Jason Rogers"Leverage the power of the 5AM club."Garth NicholsResourcesThe Happier Hour by Cassie HolmesAtomic Habits by James ClearThe 5AM Club by Robin SharmaConnect with CassieLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/cassieholmesTwitter: @cassieholmesUCLA Anderson profile: anderson.ucla.edu

What if the mammogram your doctor relies on is actually doing more harm than good, and a better option already exists? Dr. Cara Fuhrman, naturopathic doctor, Medical Director of Longevity RX, and daughter of nutritional science pioneer Dr. Joel Fuhrman, joins Integrative Cancer Solutions to break down the serious limitations of routine mammography, including staggering rates of overdiagnosis and overtreatment, and makes the case for QT Imaging as a radiation-free, far more accurate alternative.

Hello voices from the bench community, John Wilson here and I wanted to share some news about the evolution of the Programill lineup. Most importantly, Ivoclar's new PrograMill 7. What stands out right away is the reduced air consumption this mill requires, but what you'll notice first is that impressive new touchscreen. For us, the biggest advantage has been increased spindle power. My laboratory's known for these larger cases with complex geometries, and I can tell you that extra power really makes a difference. Next time you see your Ivoclar representative, be sure to ask about the PrograMill 7 and tell them John Wilson sent you. Thank you. At exocad Insights in beautiful Mallorca, we finally caught up with Felix from Imagine USA—and the timing couldn't have been better. As an exocad dealer on the front lines of digital dentistry, Felix shared his excitement about the strong turnout, the familiar faces, and most importantly, the innovation coming from exocad. What stood out most? The new exocad Hub and its cloud-based capabilities, along with powerful AI-driven tools inside DentalDB designed for efficient batch processing. For Felix and the Imagine team, it's not just about seeing what's new—it's about putting it to the test. By running new features through their own production facility first, they ensure real-world performance before bringing solutions to their customers. Beyond the technology, Felix emphasized the value of being there in person—connecting face-to-face with partners, having meaningful conversations, and stepping back to see where the industry is headed. And of course, doing it all in Mallorca doesn't hurt either. This episode finally brings a long-awaited conversation to life with Kent Kohli, a name many in the industry recognize—but maybe don't fully know the story behind. From an unexpected entry into dentistry (thanks to marrying his orthodontist's daughter) to becoming a lifelong student of ceramics and education, Kent's journey is anything but typical. What starts as a pre-dental path quickly shifts once Kent discovers the lab side of dentistry—and more importantly, where his passion truly lives. From pouring models and grinding metal to studying under legends like John Archibald, Kent shares how mentorship, curiosity, and relentless work ethic shaped his career. Along the way, he opens up about the early struggles—working 100-hour weeks, barely making ends meet, and choosing quality over the “race to the bottom” that burned out many of his peers. Kent dives deep into the evolution of dental technology, from the early days of PFMs and Empress to today's digital workflows and liquid ceramics. But at the heart of it all is a consistent theme: education. Whether it's learning from the “giants” of the industry or now helping guide the next generation through his role at Ivoclar, Kent sees it as a responsibility to pass on what was given to him. He also shares insights into his current mission—bringing hands-on education back to the forefront, blending traditional techniques with modern materials, and helping technicians elevate their craft beyond just production. Rising costs, tighter deadlines, and greater demands are challenging labs everywhere. When efficiency matters, you need tools that deliver—every day. Roland DGShape milling solutions are reliable and easy to use. Just turn them on and let them run—no babysitting required. Fewer remakes and less wasted material mean your team can focus on getting cases out the door. With the Elevate Denture solution, step into digital dentures without disrupting your workflow. Validated CAM strategies and Ivoclar compatibility mean you're building on a system you already trust. Ready to boost efficiency?

Fragrance is rarely just about smelling good. It sits much closer to memory, identity, even the way we move through the world. In this conversation, Tik Tok Creator and fragrance aficionado Amy Ebell and Bahar unpack scent as both science and storytelling. Amy is the creator of Amy Nose Scents, a platform exploring the psychology, science and culture of scent, from perfume history to the reason certain smells stay with us so deeply. Her content is for people who love fragrance and want to understand why it affects us, what it stirs in us, and why we form such strong attachments to it. You hear how olfaction links directly to the limbic brain, why certain perfumes feel almost like time travel, and how rituals around scent can shift mood, confidence, and presence. What emerges is a clear idea. Fragrance is not an accessory. It is a tool for becoming. One that can be used with intention.

Hey Voices from the Bench community! Jessica Love here, sending a shoutout from Utah! If you're passionate about creating natural, beautiful smiles—but want to simplify your workflow without sacrificing aesthetics—this is for you. I'm honored to be part of Ivoclar's development team introducing a powerful new stain and glaze system featuring Structure Paste, IPS e.max Ceram Art. Create stunning depth and lifelike color in as little as one firing. Let's continue to innovate, simplify, and create meaningful change—one smile at a time. CAM has been a major topic lately, and a lot of that conversation keeps coming back to hyperDENT. But instead of just talking about the software itself, it's worth looking at real-world experience. Imagine USA has been using hyperDENT in their own lab for over 15 years. That kind of longevity says a lot—they're not just selling and supporting it, they're relying on it in their own production every single day. That's what really sets them apart. This week's episode brings it full circle as Elvis reconnects with one of the podcast's very first guests, Renata Bundy, now a longtime professor at New York City College of Technology. Along with her are two technicians who represent both sides of the journey—lab owner Roberto Rossi and workflow master Eugene Vega—creating a conversation that dives deep into education, mentorship, and what it really takes to succeed in today's dental lab world. Roberto shares his unlikely path from working sanitation in New York to building a thriving lab, Synergy Dental Studio, over nearly three decades. With a relentless focus on quality, constant improvement, and embracing digital (while still questioning it), he explains how his lab has grown into a tight-knit, high-level operation. Eugene adds perspective from inside the lab, describing his evolution from student to managing daily workflow, highlighting how important environment, mentorship, and work ethic are when transitioning from school to real-world production. Renata ties it all together from the educational side, reflecting on over 20 years of teaching and how the program has evolved alongside the industry—from analog fundamentals to digital workflows—while still preparing students for the realities they'll face after graduation. The group doesn't shy away from the tough truths either: low starting pay, steep learning curves, and the high dropout rate among new technicians. But the message is clear—stick with it, find the right lab, and the opportunity is there. It's a conversation about growth, grit, and the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people—whether that's in the classroom or the lab. And if nothing else, you'll learn that a little Italian lunch might just be the secret to building a loyal team.Special Guests: Eugene Vega, Renata Budny, CDT, TE, and Roberto Rossi.

Watch This Episode on YouTubeWhen you watch SOUVENIR (2025), you know you are watching something incredible -- filmmaker Renée Marie Petropoulos brings the power of cinema to the topic of relationship abuse. And what I mean is that she uses the full force of the medium to craft a story of what it really looks like in the modern age.It's like nothing I've ever seen before, and SXSW agrees -- it won the 2026 narrative shorts competition. The jury said, "Led by moving, raw performances, this film meets viewers in an intimate space. Layering the complexities of love, trust, and the vulnerability of being perceived, this short is a beautiful piece of storytelling that sheds light on the most intrinsic and intimidating aspects of relationships and girlhood.”We talked before the festival, but it was obvious that the film is something special. And so is Renée.In this episode, Renée and I talk about:what about SXSW does she love as a festival;how she got started in filmmaking;the success of her thesis film, TANGLES AND KNOTS (2018), and the expectation of a Columbia MFA;the Australian diaspora at festivals like SXSW and what it feels like when taking a film to an international festival;the remarkable and unique story behind SOUVENIR (2026);how she chose to portray abuse "through a realistic take on the cycle of abuse, through an accumulation of small, painful moments" and what does a poor portrayal of abuse look like?her goals at SXSW for the film;advice for filmmakers when delving into really personal topics;how she put together such a tremendous cast and crew and advice for casting;what describes an Australian filmmaker;what's next for her.Renée's Indie Film Highlights: Warwick Thornton; OF AN AGE (2022) dir. by Goran StolevskiMemorable Quotes:"SXSW has always had a tender spot in my heart.""I'm definitely not making films with those festivals in mind.""I really wanted to explore a young toxic relationship that I feel like we don't really see much of on screen.""I'm hoping to people seeing this, if they connect to it in some way, if they've experienced this, like seeing it on screen, like it feels like a more of a validating experience."Links:Follow Renée On InstagramWatch TANGLES AND KNOTS (2018)

In this episode, Dave and Kert discuss the recent Nexus show in Scotland, the GP tryout process, team selection strategies, and the nuances of layering and cues in dog agility. They share insights on training, course design, mental resilience, and the importance of enjoyment in dog sports.I hope you enjoy.

In some Middle Eastern cultures, people layer up to SEVEN fragrances at a time. Sometimes many more! Never be afraid to play with perfume. (The wonderful thing about fragrance is there is no right or wrong: if you like something, then it's right. If you don't, you can wash it off. It's not a tattoo after all.)One listener recently wrote in with a specific question about layering options throughout the day (and into the evening); but before we get to that, we go back to basics and tell you ALL the things you need to know about layering (without overwhelming yourself or others!) in an easy how-to guide…First: Decide what you are layering for. To make a scent last longer? Or so you can add more nuance / alter an aspect you're not as fond of (eg you want to make it sweeter, or cut through the sweetness)? Or perhaps to carry a daytime scent through to more a sultry evening vibe?The best way to begin layering is to practice with an existing fragrance you wish had more oomph: Start by selecting a scent you like a lot but wish could last even longer / add more character to.Then, before you spray a single drop…Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise! Particularly in warmer climates. Nothing makes fragrance disappear more quickly than dry skin. Try using a matching body lotion or oil to your fragrance (many have matching products like shower gels as well – the more layers of the scent the better!) Aroma molecules evaporate far slower on well-hydrated skin.For the truly devoted, layering with matching scented body products can create a beautifully nuanced aroma.Try also spraying the scent into your hair, so it wafts around you all day. Hair doesn't heat up as much as skin, and will absorb the smell more deeply. It also billows beguiling around you all day if you have longer hair. Do a patch test, first, to ensure the fragrance doesn't discolour your hair (spray on a tissue to be sure!) Be on the lookout for matching hair mists to your favourite perfume - increasing numbers of brands do these, now.Next: add a body mist (again, a huge number of fragrance houses releasing these versions of beloved favourites).Now: Spray your fragrance. This can be done immediately or, if you just want the subtlety of the mist to breathe on its own for the morning, you can carry a travel bottle or decant of an eau de toilette or eau de parfum to top up layer in the day.Suzy's top tip is to spray a scarf (or jacket lining) with your chosen scent, as fragrance lasts way longer on fabric (like hair, it's more porous and doesn't heat up as much as skin, the aroma molecules don't evaporate as quickly).If you're wanting to increase the longevity of a perfume that's proving to be annoyingly fleeting, you may also add an ‘amplifier' or fragrance booster. Several of these are available, but some of the best known ones are:Escentric Molecules Molecule 01: Primarily Iso E Super, which gives a velvety, cedarwood skin-like scent that boosts longevity and creates a personal musky aroma.Juliette Has a Gun Not a Perfume: A minimalist scent featuring cetalox, making it a popular choice for adding a cleaner, soft white musky enhancement. DS&DURGA I Don't Know WhatA unique fragrance enhancer that acts as a "molecular primer" to boost, lengthen, and add depth to other scents with notes of bergamot, Iso E Super, vetiver, and civetoneEllis Brooklyn Iso Gamma Super: A "green chemistry" synthetic booster that acts similarly to enhance woody and amber notes. Glossier YouClive Christian E Cashmere MuskIf you're wanting to change the character of a scent or add depth to it, consider these options…If it's too sweet:Look for another scent in your collection (or to add one) that has dominant citrus notes like bergamot, neroli, mandarin, lemon, lime or ‘green' notes such as galbanum, tomato or violet leaf, green tea, marine/aquatic accords (synthetic recreations of sea-like, watery smells) and aldehydes (often described as being like Champagne bubbles).To soften more aggressive scent:Vanilla and tonka bean can 'round' a perfume, making it swoon on your skin (and addictive to smell), as can touches of synthetic notes described as ‘caramel' or ‘dulce de leche', ripe fruits, chocolate or even candy floss. For a smoother, woodier sheen to a scent, add a sandalwood-rich or cashmere/powdery scent on top. These notes feel cocooning, adding a layer of soft comfort to spikier ingredients.If you want to add several layers of differing scents - build your bespoke scent as a perfumer would a formula: from the base (heavier notes like resins, woods and strong spices) through florals / fruity notes, to top (lighter) notes like citrus / grassy / green aromas.Try to add less than you think you need, as adding more is always easier than taking away, and a little of these can go a long way!Layering from day to evening:Consider boosting the base notes of the scent you're wearing – these tend to be the last to linger on your skin, being made of heavier molecules, and are likely to include ingredients such as patchouli, labdanum, olibanum, vetiver, woods or musk. Or pick out a spicy note for extra sizzle!Also think about investing in a stronger version of your scent – an eau de parfum, if you use the eau de toilette; or an extrait or pure parfum if you have the edp. Do try these on skin first (separately) though, as often these intensified versions add other ‘guest' ingredients, rather than just being stringer. Also be aware pure parfum / perfume oils / attars while lasting longer on skin, tend not to project as much - so they're more intimate and others have to be in close proximity to smell them on you.Now, on to our listener question…Nancy Lichtman asked:Hello Suzy and Nicola! Thanks for your lovely and fragrant weekly distractions from the grind of daily life.I would love to hear suggestions and ideas for day to night fragrances or better yet, fragrance layering. Here's what I mean: every year I attend a three-day conference (military expo) for work. I spend all day meeting people, making connections for future articles for the magazine I edit, and podcasting from the convention center floor. So I'm in close quarters and don't want to overwhelm everyone with my perfume. On the second night there's a black-tie gala but I'm always in a rush to get ready.So I've been trying to think of day to night layering. The only thing I came up with was Jo Malone London Poppy & Barley for day with Jo Malone London Scarlett Poppy for the gala.I'd love to hear both of your thoughts on this.Again, thank you for what you do!!Nancy L.xSuzy seems to recall Nancy once had a request for a dazzling / golden smelling scent for a special occasion, and that she prescribed Goldfield & Banks Ingenious Ginger. That has notes of:So, taking that as an example, you could wear…In the morning:A citrus fresh shower gel / body lotionA sparkling citrusy body mistThroughout the day:An eau de Cologne in a travel mist you could top up as needed. Or, Escentric Molecules 01 + Mandarin.Then in the evening:spray a vial / decant of your Goldfield & Banks Ingenious Ginger.The citrus / mandarin links both fragrances so wouldn't smell muddled, and the ISO E Super would meld everything together and enhance both the body mist or Cologne, and the edp you spray in the evening.If you wanted to do the Jo Malone London Poppy & Barley for the day, look at the notes:Top - BlackcurrantIntensely juicy and ripe, it gives a crisp edge to the fragrance.Heart - PoppyA colourful, floral note and adds a fresh and crispy facet

SubtitleIn this Episode Enoch Graham shares practical strategies for growing abundant food in small urban spaces. Drawing on 15 years of gardening in the Rogue Valley of Southern Oregon, Enoch explains how to maximize production in patios, rooftops, and compact yards. He outlines his Nine Keys to Small Space Gardening, covering water systems, sunlight management, container growing, vertical gardening, soil health, and creative use of limited space. The conversation also explores soil biology, organic practices, and why patience, especially during the first year, is essential for long-term garden success.Our Guest: Enoch Graham is the host of the weekend Gardening Talk YouTube show 'Let's Get Growing'. He has interviewed hundreds of the world's top gardening communicators and shares his small space gardening practices on his YouTube channel, the Urban Gardener. He has been growing his urban food garden for 15 years in Southern Oregon's Rogue Valley, utilizing many different spaces from a cemented back patio and to a carport rooftop to grow peppers. He has learned a lot over the years and truly loves sharing his experience with other passionate growers in the gardening community.Key TopicsEnoch GrahamSmall space urban gardeningContainer gardeningDrip irrigation and drip tapeRainwater capture and alternative water sourcesSunlight management in urban environmentsVertical gardening and trellisingLayered planting systemsSoil health and organic soil buildingCompost and organic matterBiochar in soil mixesOMRI-certified organic soil productsNo-till container gardeningRogue Valley, Southern OregonQuestions AnsweredWhat are the most important factors for growing food in small urban spaces?Enoch outlines nine key principles that guide successful small-space gardening: reliable water access, adequate sunlight, containers, vertical growing, layered planting, soil management, and creative use of available spaces.How can urban gardeners secure a reliable water supply?Gardeners should start by identifying nearby water sources such as hose spigots, rain barrels, gray water systems, condensation capture, or stormwater runoff. Consistent watering is essential, especially in container gardens where soil dries quickly.What irrigation methods work best for small gardens?Hand watering allows gardeners to observe plant health closely. However, automated drip irrigation systems or drip tape with timers are helpful when gardeners are away or during hot summer months.How do buildings and urban structures affect sunlight?Walls, fences, and tall buildings can create heavy shade. Gardeners should observe how sunlight moves through the space during the day and select shade-tolerant crops when necessary.Why are containers essential in urban gardens?Containers allow gardening on patios, rooftops, and paved surfaces. Larger containers—typically five gallons or more—help maintain moisture and support stronger plant growth compared to smaller pots.How can vertical growing increase productivity?Trellising vining crops like tomatoes, peas, beans, cucumbers, and even melons allows gardeners to grow upward instead of outward, maximizing limited square footage.What does layering mean in a garden system?Layering involves growing plants at different heights—similar to a food forest—so taller plants capture sunlight above while shade-tolerant plants grow beneath them.Why is soil management especially important in container gardening?Container soil must provide structure, drainage, nutrients, and living biology. Good mixes often include compost, coco coir, vermiculite or perlite, and organic amendments.Why might a container garden struggle in its first year?New soil takes time to develop microbial life and balance. Gardeners should expect improvement in subsequent seasons as soil biology develops.How can gardeners maintain healthy container soil long-term?Instead of replacing soil each year, gardeners can treat containers like no-till systems by simply adding compost annually to replenish organic matter and nutrients.Episode HighlightsSuccessful small-space gardening starts with reliable water access and consistent irrigation.Urban shade patterns require careful observation before choosing crops.Five-gallon containers or larger help stabilize moisture and support plant growth.Vertical trellising dramatically increases yield per square foot.Layering plants mimics natural ecosystems and maximizes sunlight use.Healthy soil contains dirt, air space, water, organic matter, and living organisms.OMRI-certified products help maintain organic growing practices.Container soil improves over time as microbial life develops and compost is added annually.Calls to Action & ResourcesDrip Tape Class — Learn irrigation techniques taught each March by Urban FarmUrban Gardener YouTube Channel — Enoch Graham shares small-space gardening practices - https://www.youtube.com/@theUrbanGardenerOMRI Organic Certification — https://www.omri.orgVisit www.urbanfarm.org/TreasureYourGarden for the show notes on this episode, and access to our full podcast library!

One vital aspect that practitioners can explore is the integration of emotional frequencies into treatments aimed at enhancing brain plasticity. To increase brain plasticity, it's essential to facilitate the secretion of beneficial neurochemicals through the vagus nerve. By doing so, medical practitioners can leverage the vagus nerve's ability to regulate various body functions, including the inflammatory response, emotional balance, and even the growth of nerve fibers. This holistic approach is crucial, especially when dealing with cases involving trauma, both physical and emotional. **The Role of Sequencing in Treatment** When administering treatments, it's not uncommon to encounter practitioners who prioritize emotional frequencies right off the bat. However, the foundation of a successful treatment plan lies in acknowledging and addressing the physical condition first. Physical examinations, including range of motion, reflex, and sensory tests, allow practitioners to chart objective progress, which is an indispensable part of comprehensive patient care. Once the physical aspects are addressed, practitioners can begin to layer in emotional frequencies. This sequencing is crucial for harnessing the patient's energy effectively and directing it towards healing. The principle here is that unresolved emotional energies can redirect the body's healing capacity, thus delaying recovery. By systematically navigating through these layers—ranging from fear and anger to grief and joy—practitioners can aid in unblocking stored emotions, thereby promoting holistic healing. **Techniques for Addressing Complex Patient Histories**  In cases where patients present complex histories, such as early childhood trauma compounded by recent medical issues like COVID or stroke, a multi-machine, multi-frequency approach may be warranted. For instance, targeting the midbrain with specific frequencies, addressing scarring in the vagus nerve, and focusing on regions prone to trauma can yield significant improvements. These treatments can lead to observable changes, such as visual and vestibular corrections, which highlight the interconnected nature of physical and emotional health. By increasing neurochemical support through techniques like increasing axonal growth factors, practitioners can help rebuild neural pathways and improve patient conditions—sometimes even reversing the sense of imbalance within the body. **Navigating Emotional Frequencies with Precision** Medical practitioners should be equipped to introduce emotional frequencies into their regimens with precision. The fascia, likened to a jump drive, stores these emotions; thus, treating emotions that are trapped within the fascia involves quieting the brain regions that store them.

The unprecedented rapid pace of AI and tech innovation has transformed healthcare and life science organizations. With many new answers however come lots of new questions about how to ensure continuous reinforcement of deep, hands-on knowledge of the science and detailed steps behind the art of diagnosis or steps in an experiment, and to enable the best talent in healthcare truly express itself despite the real-world struggles to find the resources they truly need and fill the job positions where their innovation can flourish.At the 2025 Medical Innovation Olympics, Tim Mikhelashvili (CEO, Amedea Pharma, Host #MIO2025) brought together an expert panel of executives in Human Resources, Life Sciences, Marketing, Founders and Investors (Kim Mack, Founder & Principal, HR Reinforced; Christina Smith, Founder, Neo HR Consulting Group; Christopher Piedmonte, Managing Director, NeoTerra Capital, and Bart Zoni, SVP Innovation & Product, Woven Health Collective) addressed a sensitive question on top of millions of people's minds in healthcare - in an AI-powered talent market, how do we hire, reward, and retain teams where deep scientific judgment and technical execution must win together—every single day? This session focused on the underlying human factors behind both layering and rewarding the best talent across science and tech in healthcare. Speakers shared practical solutions to build a strong culture that rewards both as leaders, hire, interview, onboard teams, as well as distinguish talent through innovative methods such as video submissions of candidates' CV's or work samples. 0:00 Episode Highlight 1 - Move from "No But to Yes If" in Medicine0:49 Episode Highlight 2 - Fusion of Science & Tech1:34 Opening Remarks - Lots of Talent - Few Ways to Express It3:07 Expert Panelist Introductions5:41 How do you reward Science versus Tech in Life Sciences?10:11 Hiring True Talent in the Age of AI crafted Resumes16:38 Onboarding & Retaining Best Talent 17:05 What the Tech Industry should learn from Science?19:24 What Life Science should learn from Tech20:17 Driving Quality Science despite more Informal Training21:05 Building Cross-Functional Pods across Science & Tech26:28 Q&A: How do you balance and upskill Medical Talent?27:57 Q&A: How do you work around AI to hire best talent?30:50 Q&A: Value of Video Submissions of CVs/Resumes31:42 Q&A: Work Sample or Task Completions in Interviews32:27 Final Thoughts - Optimism about Rewarding Best Talent

In Day 6 of Mood Mastery the Samurai Way, inspired by the calm discipline of Miyamoto Musashi, we bring everything together in a layered meditation designed to help you return to center quickly and gently. You'll combine the week's key techniques—equanimity affirmation (light + shadow), Samurai breathing for calm focus, Prithvi Mudra for clarity, and Second Chakra (Sacral) flow—into one cohesive practice you can use whenever your mood starts to swing or your mind feels pulled in too many directions. This is your "whole system" meditation: steady the breath, anchor the body, clear the mind, and soften emotional resistance—so you can respond with quiet strength and graceful balance. Leave feeling calmer, clearer, and more emotionally regulated—ready to meet life with steadiness rather than reactivity. Featured practice: Layering affirmation + Samurai breath + Prithvi Mudra + Sacral Chakra flow Best for: overstimulation, mood swings, scattered focus, emotional overload, decision fatigue Takeaway: Steadiness isn't something you find—it's something you practice and return to. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to Mastering Your Moods—a meditation series designed to help you stop feeling at the mercy of your emotions and start feeling steady, clear, and in charge of how you respond. Moods can shift fast—one message, one memory, one stressful moment—and suddenly you're anxious, irritated, heavy, or overwhelmed. In this series, you'll learn how to work with your nervous system instead of against it, using simple daily practices that help you regulate in real time—so you can come back to yourself without spiraling, snapping, or shutting down. This isn't about pretending you're fine; it's about building emotional skill: noticing what you feel, understanding what's underneath it, and shifting your state with calm, practical tools you can actually use in your real life. This is day 6 of a 7-day meditation series, "Mood Mastery: From Reactive to Regulated,"  episodes 3043-3049. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "Mushin (No Mind) Quest Musashi was known to advocate for the concept of mushin, or "no-mind," in combat. It involves acting without conscious thought, free from hesitation, fear, or distraction. By training himself to enter into a state of mushin during duels and battles, Musashi could maintain emotional equilibrium and react instinctively to his opponents' movements. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Day 1:  Focus Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "I embrace both light and shadow with equanimity." Day 3:  Hara Breath: Inhale deeply through the nose, allowing the belly to expand. Exhale fully through the mouth, drawing the navel towards the spine.

with Michael O'Neal & Mircea Morariu Winter pickleball isn't just “pickleball but colder.” The ball plays faster and harder, touch shots behave differently, and the injury risk spikes if you warm up like it's July. In this episode, Michael O'Neal and Mircea Morariu break down the practical adjustments that help you stay loose, keep the ball in, and win more points when temperatures drop. Why staying warm directly reduces mistakes and injury risk Hands are everything: glove vs no glove, grip tweaks, and maintaining dexterity Layering that works for movement: base layer (compression or Under Armour style) insulation (fleece) optional shell for wind the underrated puffy vest for pickleball Hats and headbands for heat retention Why your warm-up should be 2–3x longer in cold weather Off-court warmups: bike, jumping jacks, jump rope On-court dynamic warmups: lateral shuffles, staying low Keeping blood flowing between points (the “bounce” habit used by top pros) Why cold weather injuries are more common—especially over age 40 Plastic stiffens → ball feels harder Less dwell time → less spin and control Ball flies faster with less resistance Bounce becomes less predictable Expect balls to crack more (especially outdoor balls like Dura and Franklin X-40) Shorten your backswing More compact strokes Choke up on the paddle for better touch Expect weird timing on volleys, dinks, and resets Use safer, more consistent drop mechanics Drives often beat drops in cold weather Pressure creates more popups than usual Attack knees, thighs, body more than perfect feet Shorter points favor aggressive modern players Reduce sidelines by 15–20% — aim bigger, safer targets Consider standing slightly off the kitchen line for reaction time Hot paddles become even hotter in the cold Softer control paddles can be easier to manage Consider keeping a “winter paddle” in your bag Hand warmers (QB-style) can be a real advantage Stop trying to play “summer pickleball” in winter Expect your touch to feel off Simplify everything Play higher margin shots Give yourself grace — conditions matter Cold weather still dehydrates you Lower blood volume = higher injury risk Hydration keeps tissues elastic and responsive Expect balls to crack more → bring extras Warm up longer, stay warm between points Shorten your swing, reduce power Less spin, more popups Drives and pressure outperform patient grinding Improve margins, aim safer Keep hands warm Hydrate like it's summer Shorter points usually win Cold weather favors players who: simplify stay aggressive warm up properly and adapt instead of fighting conditions Winter pickleball isn't worse — it's just different. And if you adjust, it can absolutely become an edge. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode of the By Any Means Coaches Podcast, we sit down with Rikki Broadmore, head coach at Barking Abbey Academy and one of the most respected youth development coaches in the UK. Rikki breaks down how he designs principles of play around personnel, why efficiency metrics matter more than systems, and how Barking Abbey reverse-engineers the modern game to prepare players for college, professional, and international basketball. The conversation offers a deep look into how winning, development, and long-term athlete preparation can coexist when the process is clear.The discussion also dives into practice design, decision-making under constraints, defensive layering, and the importance of environment over drills. Rikki shares how limited practice time can still produce elite outcomes through efficiency, terminology, and intentional repetition. Beyond tactics, the episode highlights coaching identity, imposter syndrome, relationship-building, and why caring for players as people is the true needle-mover in long-term success.Episode Breakdown & Timestamps00:00 – Introduction and background on Rikki Broadmore 03:10 – Developing principles of play based on personnel 06:15 – Trends in European basketball and flow offenses 07:40 – The four key categories Barking Abbey prioritizes 09:45 – Defense driving offense and playing fast 12:10 – Shot selection, ego, and earning freedom 16:00 – Roles, expectations, and allocating minutes 18:00 – Practice design and decision-making development 21:15 – Constraints-led approach in team practice 24:50 – Teaching efficiency with limited practice time 30:00 – Terminology, communication, and coaching efficiency 35:30 – Knowing when to intervene as a coach 39:45 – Relationships as the biggest needle-mover 45:00 – Learning through collaboration and sharing ideas 49:30 – Layering defensive coverages for development 56:45 – Winning vs development and long-term perspective 01:01:30 – Process-driven culture and mindfulnessWebsite Links:Coaching Resources: https://byanymeanscoaches.com/resourcesBAM Blueprint Book: https://byanymeanscoaches.com/blueprint-bookIf you're a coach looking to improve how you design environments, structure practices, and develop players, make sure to explore our coaching resources and dive into Coleman's new book: The Modern Basketball Blueprint. For more conversations like this one, subscribe to the By Any Means Coaches Podcast and continue learning alongside coaches who care deeply about the craft and the people they serve.

In this episode of Talk Dizzy To Me, vestibular physical therapists Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS and Dr. Danielle Tolman sit down with Laura Ehlers to share a powerful, real-life story of chronic dizziness, plus the long road to obtaining answers in a healthcare system that often defaults to “it's BPPV” or “it's anxiety.”Laura walks us through how her symptoms evolved after being hit in the head and what her life looks like living with dizziness. She also shares the layered diagnoses that often show up together in complex dizziness cases—vestibular migraine, PPPD (Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness), dysautonomia/POTS (Postural Tachycardia Syndrome), and hypermobility/EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome), as well as the strategies that have helped her rebuild capacity.You'll hear practical, experience-based advice on:- How to advocate for yourself when you're not being believed- Why the right healthcare provider can be a game-changer- Medication realities: from sensitivities to finding what worksGuest: Laura Ehlers Instagram: @laurasnaturallifeHosted by:

Modern minutemen who are located in northern climates that are affected by extreme cold and significant snow fall have far more warfare considerations than the average minuteman. Everthing from layering systems and specialized mobility equipment to cold weather injuries and shelters, having a high level of understanding and training is paramount for true operational readiness in these regions.  In this episode, Stephen and Jacob discuss cold weather considerations with Ben Price who served is the USMC. Although cold weather operations is nothing new to Jacob and Stephen, this episode is more form a Marines perspective as well as some tips and tricks from our Norwegian allies.    OTHER COLD WEATHER EPISODES: Intro to Cold Climate Warfare (w/MooseRider6) Introduction to Layering (w/Ed French)   CONTACT US The best way to get a hold of us is to email us.

The new year always brings a wave of home decor trends — but 2026 is shaping up to be less about what's “in” and more about how our homes feel. In this episode, I'm breaking down the top 10 home decor and interior design trends for 2026 that designers across the industry are consistently predicting. These aren't fads — they're thoughtful shifts toward comfort, intention, sustainability, and homes that support real life. If you're decorating, redecorating, or simply craving a home that feels more cohesive and cozy, this episode will help you understand what's coming next — and how to use trends without letting them overwhelm you. In this episode, we cover: Using texture as a foundational design element Why layered textures — from textiles to finishes — are becoming essential in 2026 interior design and how they instantly make a home feel warmer and more lived-in. Honoring heritage and personal history in home decor The return of meaningful pieces, vintage finds, heirlooms, and decor that tells a story instead of following fast trends. Biophilic design and bringing nature indoors How plants, natural light, organic materials, and nature-inspired design are shaping healthier, calmer homes. Layering as a core decorating principle From rugs to lighting to accessories, designers are emphasizing depth, dimension, and thoughtful layering over minimalism. Color drenching and monochromatic color stories Why single-color rooms and tonal palettes are trending in 2026 — and how they create cohesion without feeling boring. Warm, earthy color palettes replacing cool neutrals Think clay, camel, olive, brown, mushroom, and soft terracotta — colors that ground a space and make it feel welcoming. The renewed focus on form and function Furniture and decor that look beautiful but also work hard for everyday living are a major priority in 2026 home design. Sustainable luxury and conscious decorating choices Fewer pieces, better quality, eco-conscious materials, and thoughtful purchasing decisions that balance beauty and responsibility. The return of cozy textures like faux fur Designers are embracing warmth and softness through faux fur accents, plush textiles, and tactile comfort. An emphasis on irregularity, imperfection, and organic shapes Why homes are moving away from symmetry and perfection — and embracing character, patina, and uniqueness.

A lesson from art is a great driver in life!

We're excited to welcome husband-and-wife design duo Heather and Matt French to the show. Based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, their firm, French & French Interiors, is known for creating luxurious yet livable spaces that are rich in color, pattern, and storytelling. Heather and Matt join Caroline and Liz to discuss their unique journey from careers in natural medicine and building to becoming interior designers. They share how they blend their Southern roots with the distinct architecture of the American Southwest, why they believe in "softening" a harsh landscape with cozy florals, and how they turned their own home into a "designer lab." Quick Decorating Takeaways: Find Your "Keystone" Fabric: Heather anchors her elaborate color palettes with a single multi-colored "keystone" fabric that serves as a roadmap for the entire design scheme. Create a Respite from the Environment: Rather than mimicking harsh outdoor landscapes, Heather and Matt recommend using soft florals and wallpapers to create a cozy indoor respite. Study the Masters: Matt emphasizes that studying design history and legends like Sister Parish can be just as valuable as a formal degree for developing a great eye.

Unnecessary suffering is at the heart of what separates those who thrive from those who just survive. Our brain has become an expert at creating pain where none needs to exist. Layering emotional turmoil on top of life's natural challenges and preventing us from achieving what we're truly capable of. In this second part of the Weekly series, I'm breaking down the core principles of coaching and how understanding your brain's motivational triad can fundamentally transform your relationship with success, pain, and achievement. Join me in The Weekly in 2026. You can sign up right now by going to TheLifeCoachSchool.com/theweekly. What You Will Discover: How your brain's survival mechanism creates unnecessary suffering on top of life's natural challenges. Why the motivational triad (seeking pleasure, avoiding pain, conserving energy) keeps you stuck in mediocrity. The five components of the self-coaching model that govern everything in your life. What happens in your brain when you set an impossible goal and why it immediately creates resistance. How weekly repetition and coaching can rewire negative thinking patterns permanently. The difference between clean pain (necessary) and dirty pain (optional) in your emotional life. Featured on This Episode: Join me in The Weekly in 2026.
