What if the most lasting lessons your kids learn didn't come from a textbook—but from a creek bed, a moth wing, or a flashlight beam sweeping across the night? In this powerful and joy-filled episode, Ginny Yurich welcomes Hudson and Morgan Wild—two of the beloved Wild Brothers—for a conversation that's deeply affirming for parents who want more than a screen-based childhood for their kids.

Former Obama speechwriter and bestselling author David Litt joins Dave Prodan on The Lineup to talk about his newest and most personal project yet, It's Only Drowning: A True Story of Learning to Surf and a Search for Common Ground. Litt opens up about how a pandemic-era battle with depression led him into the ocean, and how a mismatched surf adventure with his brother-in-law Matt became an unlikely bridge across political, personal, and cultural divides. From his first freezing New Jersey paddle-outs in a 5/4 wetsuit to wipeouts in 8-10 foot Zurriola in Spain, Litt shares a raw, humorous, and deeply human journey into surfing from the outside in and explores how surfing restructured his sense of time, identity, and connection.

WBSRocks: Business Growth with ERP and Digital Transformation
Send us a textStartups and scaleups often sprint toward innovation, laser-focused on building game-changing products—but in the rush, many forget that visibility is just as critical as viability. While founders perfect their pitch decks and chase product-market fit, they often underestimate the power of analyst firms. These aren't just report writers—they're strategic allies offering market intelligence, competitive benchmarking, and credibility boosts that can shape investor confidence and buyer trust. Yet, too many treat analyst engagement like that unused gym membership—clearly valuable, rarely prioritized. In truth, tapping into analyst networks can be the growth lever that helps a brilliant product avoid fading into obscurity.In this episode, Sam Gupta engages in a LinkedIn live session with Chris Holscher, Holscher.one in a live LinkedIn session as they discuss Chris' research on the value analyst firms bring to the table for startups.Background Soundtrack: Away From You – Mauro SommFor more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs. rocks or elevatiq.com.

3:18 - Today's Topic Breakdown - It's a Documentary Roundup on today's show, with Sooz Reviews of the My Mom Jayne, the latest installment of Trainwreck (Poop Cruise! Oh my!), and Sally Ride. We learn how Jayne Mansfield was a victim of a Hollywood system that objectifies women and society's decision to put women, especially beautiful women, into a very small box, and the ways secrets can tear families apart. We discuss the cruise that lost power and became a floating toilet in short order, and our theories about why the passengers got along and left with pretty good memories anyway. We talk about astronaut and badass bitch Sally Ride, and how the very reasons she became a trailblazer also made her hard to get to know and somewhat unlikable. Plus, we hear about the "birthday effect" where people are more likely to die on their birthdays, and we learn whether it's actually true or an illusion, and if it's true, why that might be.3:18 - Episode Table Of Contents7:34 - Susie and Sarah on the field at the Pirates game11:06 - Our favorite makeup ever13:40 - Jayne Mansfield Documentary23:40 - Poop Cruise Documentary36:06 - Our favorite comfy athlege clothes.38:06 - Sally Ride Documentary46:45 - The Birthday Effect57:20 - Share your comments about the Birthday Effect.Comment on Spotify, and on YouTubeConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:Visit https://shopbeam.com/BRAINCANDY and use code BRAINCANDY to get our exclusive discount of up to 35% off.New customers can get the Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara and a mini-sized Brilliant Eye Brightener at a special set price with free shipping at https://thrivecausemetics.com/BRAINCANDYSave 20% Off Honeylove by going to https://www.honeylove.com/BRAINCANDY #honeylovepodSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Emotional resilience is one of the most powerful skills you can develop as a mom - and let's be honest, it's also one of the hardest to master. From toddler tantrums to teen drama, from work stress to family dynamics… there's no shortage of moments that can leave you feeling stretched thin and emotionally spent. And there's no season that tests this quite like summer, when the routines are loose, the noise is constant, and everyone seems to need something from you all day long. That's why I'm re-airing this powerful conversation with Dr. Jen Riday, a mom of six with a PhD in Human Development and Family Studies and host of the Vibrant Happy Women podcast. Jen combines research-backed wisdom with real-life experience to help women build emotional resilience... and the healthy boundaries that make it possible. Because here's the truth: You can't be emotionally resilient without boundaries. Boundaries aren't about controlling others, they're about protecting your peace. Learning to say, “This is what I will do to care for myself,” is one of the most courageous and transformative skills you can develop as a mom. In this episode, you'll learn:

Pascal Papathemelis: From Mechanics to Human Factors—How Scrum Masters Grow Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Pascal shares his evolution as a Scrum Master, moving from focusing purely on the mechanics of Scrum to understanding the critical importance of human factors. Early in his career, Pascal worked with teams that struggled to achieve sprint goals, with stories floating from one sprint to another. Through retrospectives and continuous improvement, he learned essential tips like not taking too much into sprints and making stories smaller. However, Pascal's biggest transformation came when he shifted focus to human elements - involving everyone in the team, improving collaboration during refinement, and developing people's skills and attitudes. He emphasizes that every person is an individual with the intention to be their best, and a good Scrum Master must sense when something is wrong and create safe environments for open conversations. Pascal highlights the importance of corridor conversations and coffee machine breakthroughs, especially before COVID, and stresses the need to invest effort in how teams start, using models like Tuckman's team growth model and Diana Larsen's Team Liftoff approach. In this segment, we also refer to the episode with Arne Roock, about the importance of team design and setup in the success of teams. Self-reflection Question: How might shifting your focus from Scrum mechanics to human factors transform the way you support your team's growth and collaboration?

WBSRocks: Business Growth with ERP and Digital Transformation
Send us a textMake-to-Order (MTO) industries operate on the principle that production begins only after a confirmed customer order, demanding ERP systems that can gracefully handle variability, non-standard workflows, and high-precision job tracking. From custom fabrication to complex project-based builds, the ERP platforms featured in our list have been evaluated not just for baseline functionality, but for their ability to support the real-world intricacies of MTO environments—whether it's managing inventory for non-stocked items or enabling hybrid models like engineer-to-order. While the list is designed to be broadly applicable across diverse MTO scenarios, companies in niche sectors may still need a tailored evaluation. To guide those deeper assessments, we've factored in each vendor's strategic acquisitions, roadmap direction, and community support, along with their traction and growth in MTO-heavy industries—so you're not just choosing a system that fits today, but one that evolves with your business tomorrow.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top 10 make-to-order manufacturing ERP systems in 2025. He also discusses several variables that influence the rankings of these make-to-order manufacturing ERP systems. Finally, he shares the pros and cons of each make-to-order manufacturing ERP system.Background Soundtrack: Away From You – Mauro SommFor more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs. rocks or elevatiq.com.

Welcome to Season 5, Episode 27! We have been known to be obsessed with true crime stories. So we were really excited to read L.A. Coroner: Thomas Noguchi and Death in Hollywood by Professor Anne Soon Choi and published by Third State Books. And we were even more excited when Anne visited us as a guest. Professor Choi is the Interim Associate Director of Online Pedagogy and Learning for the Faculty Development Center, and Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies at Cal State Dominguez Hills. She's a historian and also interested in True Crime as well as Asian American history… so writing a book about Dr. Thomas Noguchi is the perfect intersection of these two interests. Noguchi was the highest ranking Japanese American official in Los Angeles County during the 1960s and 70s, and he performed autopsies of some of the most well-known people who passed away during that time including Marilyn Monroe, Robert F. Kennedy, Sharon Tate, and Natalie Wood. In our conversation with Anne, she shares her process of research, some of Dr. Noguchi's biggest innovations, how the Asian American community rallied around Noguchi when he faced a racist dismissal, some of Anne's future writing projects, and so much more. If you love true crime stories and/or learning about Asian American History, then we highly recommend buying L.A. Coroner. You can also learn more about Anne Soon Choi via her Instagram @latruecrime.

In today's episode, I'm sharing insights on how to gracefully navigate the slower seasons of business, when everything feels like molasses. We all face moments that disrupt our rhythm, unexpected events, transitions, or simply a dip in momentum. However, these don't have to bring everything to a halt. Instead of waiting for things to feel “perfect” again, learn to adjust, realign, and keep going. As life shifts, so can your strategies and pace. Remember, the pivots life brings aren't roadblocks — they're powerful openings for growth and expansion. Tune in and share your thoughts with me. Here's a glimpse of what I'll be sharing: - The age-old (unhelpful) business paradigm that pushes us to “just keep going” - Deepening the connection with your body and honoring its signals - Learning to work with; and not against your cycles - Smart strategies to sustain momentum during quieter or slower seasons - Discovering how joy in your work can amplify creativity and productivity - Staying open to unexpected magic, guidance, and opportunities that support your path Subscribe now so you'll never miss an episode and leave us a review!

Join us on this episode of Trending in Education as Mike Palmer talks with Dr. Margaret Honey, President and CEO of the Scratch Foundation. We dive into the world of Scratch, the visual programming language that's empowering a new generation of creative thinkers and makers. Dr. Honey shares her unique career path, starting from her high school days reading about experimental schools to her impactful work at Children's Television Workshop (now Sesame Workshop) and the New York Hall of Science. We explore how Scratch, developed at the MIT Media Lab by Mitch Resnick, isn't just about teaching kids to code formally, but about providing an accessible, playful tool for creative expression. Discover how over 150 million young people have used the platform since 2007, creating more than a billion projects. We discuss the critical role of curiosity and imagination in a world increasingly shaped by AI, emphasizing how these distinctly human attributes help us remain in the driver's seat of technology. Learn about the maker's mindset embedded in Scratch, where users actively engage with the platform to bring their ideas to life through games, stories, and animated environments. We also differentiate between Scratch Junior (for younger children) and Scratch, highlighting how the platform fosters durable skills like grit, resilience, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Dr. Honey explains Scratch's commitment to maintaining productive struggle and experimentation, ensuring AI serves as a tool to enhance, not replace, human creativity and problem-solving. We also discuss the broader implications for K-12 education, the shift towards using technology as a generative tool for problem-solving and knowledge representation, and the importance of fostering a sense of agency in learners. Dr. Honey touches on the PISA assessment's new "Learning in the Digital World" component and how it aligns with Scratch's constructivist principles. Finally, we hear about the "Curiosity Convening" in October 2025, bringing together global researchers and practitioners to explore the most effective ways to nurture curious, hands-on learning. Key Takeaways: Cultivating Curiosity & Imagination: In an AI-driven world, human attributes like curiosity and imagination are crucial for staying in control of technology and fostering creative competencies. The Maker's Mindset and Durable Skills: Scratch promotes an active "maker's mindset," encouraging children to build and create, thereby developing essential durable skills such as grit, resilience, logical thinking, and debugging. AI as an Enhancement, Not a Replacement: The Scratch Foundation aims for AI to be a tool that aids problem-solving and sparks curiosity, rather than performing tasks for users, preserving the valuable "productive struggle" in learning. Learning as Development: Emphasizing that learning is a foundational form of human development, fostering interaction, collaboration, and a sense of agency, rather than solely focusing on test outcomes. Global Shift in Education: We are seeing a global movement, exemplified by the OECD's new assessment, towards using technology as a generative tool for problem-solving and building representations of knowledge, shifting beyond simply learning to code. Don't miss this insightful conversation that illuminates the future of education, work, and how we can empower the next generation with the skills and mindset to thrive in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.

Your story has power—but only if you take the time to own it. Dr. Michelle Robin reflects on the decade since her life-altering bike accident, sharing how the real healing happened not just in her body, but in her mindset, her purpose, and her ability to receive. This part of the journey is about slowing down, listening deeper, and choosing to see the experience as something that happened for her, not to her. With honesty and heart, she invites us to ask better questions, embrace our own medicine, and build rhythms of well-being that support us when life shifts unexpectedly. Key Takeaways: Writing your wellness story can reveal patterns, healing gaps, and insights that support future growth. Empathy deepens when you've personally experienced pain, and that shift can transform how you show up for others. Learning to receive—help, support, love—is a skill that strengthens your ability to heal. Comparing your gifts to others only dims your light; your unique “medicine” is exactly what the world needs. Hope is the missing ingredient in many wellness journeys—find it, cultivate it, and protect it.

He knew he loved it from the very first jump, but that didn't keep it from taking quite a while to get into skydiving properly. Learning the lesson that if you're waiting for friends to go for a jump, you could wait a long time, Andy Sbarato had enough waiting, and just went for it. Like a lot of us, skydiving took over pretty damn quickly, but for Andy it also provided real opportunities. Covid for some was a time to really step outside their comfort zones, and with the pressures it provided came about the birth of Option Gravity. Born of skydiving in the Swiss and Italian Alps in 2018, his deep dive into our extreme sport also give him the idea for offering a better option for high quality custom skydiving apparel. Between travel, load organizing, and running his successful company, Andy worked hard to make opportunity out of adversity. It may have started deep in the pandemic and our Lunatic Fringe, but now Andy and Option Gravity pushing full force!
Hearts That Expand: Learning Compassion from Abraham and Jesus Today's readings focus on two powerful biblical stories . . . . . . the first from the life of Abraham, Sarah, and Ishmael, and the second from the Gospel account of Jesus healing two possessed men. In the first story, Sarah's jealousy over Hagar and Ishmael leads her to demand their banishment, despite Ishmael being Abraham's son. Abraham, torn but obedient, sends them away with provisions. God intervenes with care and promise, ensuring Ishmael's survival and future as a great nation—reminding us that Abraham is the spiritual ancestor of Jews, Christians, and Muslims. The Gospel story presents a stark contrast: Jesus heals two tormented men, but the local people focus on the loss of their pigs rather than the miracle of healing. They reject Jesus, displaying closed hearts and misplaced priorities. The Homily ends by urging listeners to choose which example to follow: Abraham's compassionate, open heart or the villagers' closed-off indifference. We are invited to let our hearts expand through the grace of God, even when it's difficult, and to strive to love, help, and care for others like Abraham and Jesus did. Listen more to this Meditation Media. Listen to Hearts That Expand: Learning Compassion from Abraham and Jesus ----------------------------------------------------------------- Quote From The Homily And so, then there's us, and we have choices to make. We can become more and more like Abraham or more and more like those people in the town, more and more where our hearts are touched. By the suffering, by the needs, by the hopes and dreams of so many people that we do whatever we can to show tender care, to help to pray, or we close off, we build walls. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Abraham Dismissing Hagar and Ishmael: Dutch Artist: Nicolaes Maes, 1653 One of the artist's earliest works. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Gospel Reading: Matthew 8: 28-34 First Reading: Genesis 21: 5, 8-20

This involves setting firm limits on work hours, including time spent on administrative tasks, film review, and communication with players and parents. Coaches must consciously schedule and prioritize personal time for hobbies, relaxation, and family, recognizing that a life outside of the sport is not a luxury but a necessity for long-term well-being and effectiveness. Learning to say "no" to non-essential requests and creating a clear separation between professional and private life prevents the emotional and physical exhaustion that often fuels burnout. This includes being fully present when away from the coaching environment, which may mean putting the phone away and disconnecting from team-related matters to allow for genuine mental and emotional recovery. Another key strategy for preventing burnout is to cultivate a supportive network and delegate responsibilities effectively. Relying on assistant coaches, team managers, and parent volunteers for appropriate tasks can significantly lighten the workload and prevent a single individual from feeling the weight of the entire program. Building strong relationships with fellow coaches provides a vital outlet for sharing experiences, seeking advice, and finding camaraderie with those who understand the unique pressures of the profession. Furthermore, focusing on intrinsic rewards, such as player development and the love of the game, rather than solely on wins and losses, can help maintain a healthy perspective and reignite the passion that initially drew a coach to their role. Ultimately, investing in personal wellness, fostering a collaborative environment, and maintaining a balanced perspective are fundamental to a long and fulfilling coaching career.

It was your faith that brought you into a relationship with Jesus Christ. Faith was your response to the grace of God. The Bible says we are saved by our faith in Jesus. Yet, God is not just asking us for faith that leads to salvation. He's asking for daily faith.Main Points:1. Everyday, you and I live by faith. Every day we must trust God. We trust him for our spiritual growth. We place our faith in him to lead and guide our steps and our future. We live by faith as we put our families, their health, and safety in His hands. 2. Our knowledge is limited. We don't know what a day will bring. We certainly don't know what tomorrow holds for us. So, we live by faith. Daily, we choose to trust our lives to the hands of God. 3. I know sometimes I'm like Peter. I take my eyes off of Jesus and I begin to look at the wind and the waves. I've noticed that what I focus on gets bigger in my life. If I focus on life's circumstances and the uncertainties of tomorrow, they get larger in my mind. But if I intentionally focus on Jesus, He is magnified. Today's Scripture Verses:Matthew 14:29 - “Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.”Matthew 14:30-31 - “But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”Galatians 2:20 - “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

Susie's mom has been ill, and now she's on the mend, but she seems to have a bigger problem on her hands--namely an infestation of raccoons INSIDE her house. We talk about the doofus who sat his buns down on a Swaroski crystal chair at a museum and destroyed it. We discuss Barbara Walters, her ambition, and why she was kind of a jerk to women despite being a trailblazer at the same time. We debate whether we should start a "chichi chat," and why showing your body off to other women can be empowering. We hear about the lifelike dolls in Brazil that are making people mad, and how the women who collect (and play with) them are mocked, yet no one thinks its weird that men have similarly infantile and strange hobbies. And Susie lists several women who might be getting lots of credit for their business acumen when really their men are pulling the strings behind the scenes.3:06 - Peg's Raccoon Invasion8:17 - Identifying poop in the wild11:30 - Moron who sat on museum chair15:33 - reviewing the chari break video21:35 - If you like camping or have an RV, you should do this.23:39 - Barbara Walters Documentary "Tell Me Everything"27:50 - F**k you Barbara, and F**k you Ellen.29:53 - Hundreds of women meet for an online topless video "ChiChi" chat.
