By allowing space for things to go wrong, we reduce guilt, embrace imperfection, and reconnect more easily with what matters most. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.breakthetwitch.com/allow-space-to-screw-it-up/ Quotes to ponder: "We must allow space in our lives to screw things up." "We can try as hard as possible to get our daily action to look like our long-term vision, but some days we won't be successful. Life happens." "The last thing we should do is create a guilt-spiral that makes us miserable and makes it even harder to get back on track." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jose Berlanga explains how he created his own real estate market, why focus beats growth, and the costly mistakes developers make chasing trends.In this episode of RealDealChat, Jack Hoss sits down with Jose Berlanga, a veteran real estate developer and entrepreneur, to break down how he created demand where none existed—and why focus, patience, and clarity matter more than chasing hot markets.Jose shares how he started developing inner-city Houston neighborhoods when they were considered “unbuildable,” why fear actually guided his best decisions, and how saturating a small area with consistent product helped him establish pricing power and brand recognition long before the market caught up.The conversation dives deep into developer psychology, long real estate cycles, why chasing higher price points almost derailed his business, and the hard-earned leadership lessons he learned building (and rebuilding) teams. Jose also delivers one of the clearest frameworks you've heard on hiring, focus, and avoiding shiny object syndrome as an entrepreneur.This is a masterclass in long-term thinking for developers, investors, and business owners.

In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Monique Lindner — a late-identified Autistic woman whose life once revolved around relentless achievement, overwork, and endurance.Monique was a high-performing systems thinker, corporate leader, and entrepreneur who learned early how to push through trauma, chronic pain, sleep deprivation, and sensory overload. What finally cracked the façade wasn't a dramatic breakdown — it was a slow unravelling, followed by a single, unexpected question from her book editor that sent her down a ten-month path toward understanding her neurodivergence.Together, Angela and Monique explore late identification, masking, Autistic burnout, trauma, friendship loss, unmasking, psychic pattern-matching, and what happens when you stop explaining yourself and start protecting your nervous system.

"They [monoclonal antibodies] are able to cause tumor cell death by binding to and blocking to necessary growth factor signaling pathways for tumor cell survival. That's going to be dependent on the target of the antibody, but I'll give an example of epidermal growth factor, or EGFR. This is overexpressed in several different kinds of cancers where activation of this growth factor increases the amount of proliferation and migration of cancer cells. So, if we bind to it and block to it, then that would help halt these pathways and stop cancer cell growth," Carissa Ganihong, PharmD, BCOP, oncology and bone marrow transplantation clinical pharmacist at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about monoclonal antibodies.

Highlights From This Episode "Prior to monoclonal antibodies, all we really had were these toxic chemotherapies or toxic radiation, so it was recognized how great it would be if we could have a treatment that was much more specific to the tumor cells and have agents that have less toxicities. These advancements in monoclonal antibody production began in the 1980s. ... Eventually, we had the first monoclonal antibody that was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for an oncologic indication, rituximab." TS 4:14  "Nowadays, we do have treatments that are also considered tumor-agnostic. This is when a patient has a certain biomarker, then that treatment can be given and FDA approval was given, regardless what type of tumor the patient has. We typically see these kinds of tumor-agnostic therapies more so in patients who have recurrent or advanced diseases in solid tumors. One monoclonal antibody example that comes to mind is dostarlimab. That's a checkpoint inhibitor that's approved for patients who are deficient in mismatch repair mechanism." TS 23:48 "Our immune system constantly has this surveillance system and it's able to recognize foreign pathogens, abnormal cells, and even precancerous cells. And they're able to eliminate them before they become cancerous. But on the flip side, one of the regulatory mechanisms that we have so our immune system doesn't attack itself is the presence of checkpoints. When these checkpoints bind to their ligands, this can then act as an off switch so that, again, our immune system is not going to attack itself. But then the tumor cells can take advantage of this and actually use this mechanism to evade the immune system. So, when we're giving a checkpoint inhibitor, now we're removing that off switch. As a consequence, common adverse effects can include things like immune mediated adverse events. These most commonly affect the skin, gastrointestinal tract, and liver. Essentially, this can cause any '-itis' you can think of." TS 26:36 "Looking at strategies to prevent infusion reactions, one example is the use of premedication. If premedication is recommended, this typically includes any combination of antipyretics, which is typically acetaminophen. Antihistamine, which is typically an H1 antagonist like diphenhydramine. Although, there could be cases where we want to substitute this agent because maybe the patient has been tolerating therapy okay, and they're having a lot of side effects. So, we might use a second-generation antihistamine in some cases. The premedication may be given with or without some kind of steroid, whether that's methylprednisolone, hydrocortisone, or dexamethasone." TS 29:53 "We tend to think of monoclonal antibody usage to be primary oncology, but that's not really the case. The first monoclonal antibodies that were developed were not for oncologic indications, they were for transplant indication for cardiac indication. So, they're really diversely utilized across all specialties and medicines. We have monoclonal antibodies for hyperlipidemia, for neurology, for rheumatology, so the uses are so very expansive across all specialties." TS 41:01

Falamos sobre acusações e hipocrisia de pessoas religiosas. Discutimos também a importância da solidariedade entre trabalhadoras sexuais, o feminismo liberal e as feministas que se aliam com conservadores e a extrema-direita. Falamos sobre movimentos red pill e violência contra mulheres, assim como a oposição ao trabalho sexual como tentativa de controlar a sexualidade feminina.

The hosts are on vacation this week! But we've got an episode from What Next for you that we think you'll love. Conservatives have long complained that teaching American history with slavery and genocide and systemic oppression is just too negative, and the Trump administration has gone as far as attacking the Smithsonian for focusing too much on “how horrible our country is.” But omitting the shameful aspects of America's past doesn't just distort history—it impairs our ability to understand the present.

— Wellness is an embodied, ongoing practice that integrates body, mind, and habits. Recovery and growth arise from personalized, compassionate support, evidence-informed tools, and sustainable daily practices rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. Meaningful change is co-created: clients bring lived experience and goals; practitioners offer guidance, skill-building, and accountability. Reducing harm (including alcohol use), restoring balance, and cultivating resilience are interconnected aims best served by holistic interventions that honor individual values, foster agency, and prioritize long-term wellbeing over quick fixes. Learning, reflection, and incremental action transform survival into thriving. Valeria interviews Emma Gardner  — She is a UK-based solopreneur and recovery catalyst, helping individuals reclaim well-being through evidence-based coaching, practical nervous-system tools, and transformative programs. As founder of Evolve Recovery, Emma builds accessible resources—cards, journals, books, and courses—that support sustainable, compassionate change. With a background in addiction recovery, forensic science, and criminal justice, Emma blends science, lived experience, and practical strategies to guide listeners toward resilience. The work spans podcasting, course creation, and coaching, with a focus on trauma-informed, human-centered approaches that empower individuals and communities. Notable achievements include the development of the Recovery Box and a silver award for Best Product at the Mental Health Awards, reflecting a commitment to quality, impact, and accessibility. Emma hosts The Healing Odyssey podcast, featuring expert guests and real-world insights on recovery, mindfulness, and personal growth.  Emma has released her first book 'Life Re-imagined: A practical guide to recovery & growth'  and soon to release her new book, showing the different therapies and personal stories out in the world for people to discover, as 'AA is not the only way'.

But what if that habit is quietly costing you your future wealth?   In this episode of The Abundance Mindset, Vinney Chopra and Gualter Amarelo break down why money that sits still actually loses power over time—and how fear-based saving can limit opportunity. Vinney shares lessons from building a massive real estate portfolio after coming to the U.S. with just $7, while Gualter connects those principles to real decisions investors are making right now.   Here's what they dive into:

In this episode, Igor breaks down one of the most important lessons he learned on his journey: nothing changes until you start producing.He shares how learning copywriting wasn't enough on its own and how real progress only began once he started writing copy for real clients, getting paid to practice, and putting work into the world that could be tested.

Her research focuses on knowledge, belief, and our capacities to track these states in ourselves and others. Dr. Nagel is interested in the history of epistemology, both in the Western tradition back to Plato, and in the Classical Indian and Tibetan traditions. She also works in contemporary philosophy of mind, with special interests in metacognition and mental state attribution. In this episode, we first talk about epistemic intuitions: what they are; how philosophers approach them; and how linguistics and psychology approach epistemic intuitions: We discuss knowledge, what makes knowledge reliable, whether it is a mental state, the difference between knowing something and just happening to be right about it, the epistemic value of reflection, and common knowledge. Finally, we talk about the relationship between experimental philosophy and traditional philosophy.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

In Episode 261, Asher reconnects with Dr. PI, a leader at the University of Louisville who recently moved from strength & conditioning coaching into administration. This conversation explores leadership, communication, and the perspective shifts that come after disruption.Dr. PI shares reflections on his recent promotion, his new office, and the season of life he's entered—one focused on refinement rather than accumulation. He opens up about a serious motorcycle accident that happened last year and how the recovery process became a mental, spiritual, and emotional turning point.We talk about:• Why this stage of life is about refining, not adding• What a motorcycle accident revealed about priorities• How to collaborate with professionals under pressure (even when you have knowledge)• The importance of respecting others' expertise, especially in crisis• Learning from athletes as a coach (it's a two-way street)• Reading body language and knowing when to stop talking• Why careers aren't always straight lines—sometimes they loop• The urgent/important matrix for decision-making• Why coaches need coaches (everyone needs advisors)• Navigating unexpected career shifts (like daily conversations with lawyers)Key Quote:"Earlier in our careers, it's about conquering, growing, adding, multiplying. At this stage, it's about refining. How do I make my processes, my thought patterns, my conversations, my relationships better?"This episode isn't about wins and losses. It's about how leaders think, how they communicate, and how they show up under pressure.If you're in a season of refinement, navigating recovery, or learning to lead with grace—this conversation is for you.Connect with Dr. PI: University of Louisville AthleticsSubscribe to It's My Time Podcast for weekly conversations with everyday people doing extraordinary things.

This emotional interview with the actor Andrew Garfield is a listener favorite. In it, Garfield talks about his 2024 film “We Live in Time,” in which he plays a newly divorced man named Tobias who falls in love with a chef named Almut, played by Florence Pugh. Their story feels epic and expansive, but still intimate. It focuses on the small, everyday moments that make up a love story: washing dishes together after a dinner party, sharing biscuits, smelling fruit at a farmers' market. These are the moments that sustain the couple through Almut's excruciatingly difficult medical crisis.Garfield tells Anna Martin, host of “Modern Love,” why this film about the intertwined nature of joy and grief came into his life at just the right moment, and gives an unexpectedly raw reading of Chris Huntington's essay “Learning to Measure Time in Love and Loss.”"Modern Love" will return on Jan. 7 with all new episodes.

Joined this week by the one and only Anthony “AC” Casanas, and it was an amazing conversation! We started out by discussing firehouse culture and how he learned all about it long before he was ever a firefighter.  Why younger members need something real to emulate, and how social media can be either an incredible tool or an incredible hindrance. And so much more! Of course all of this was beautifully derailed by the amazing questions from the audience as usual!!
