Ever wonder how mentalists read minds? It's not really magic. Oz Pearlman is here to expose the secrets of influence, charisma, and seeing others deeply.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1224What We Discuss with Oz Pearlman:Mentalism isn't psychic — it's psychology, empathy, and showmanship combined to read people's cues and create the illusion of mind reading.The foundation of charm isn't being likable — it's making others feel likable and seen.Failure builds resilience. Learning to separate rejection from self-worth frees you to take bold risks.Authenticity and kindness are superpowers. People sense when you're genuine, and remembering names or small courtesies leaves a lasting mark.Reframe your mindset with gratitude. Even on bad days, focus on what you do have — your time, your health, your chance to grow — and choose to enjoy your life.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Dr. David Berson, PhD, a professor of neuroscience at Brown University and an expert on the visual system and circadian biology. We explore how the brain processes visual information, from photons entering the eye to conscious perception in the cortex. We discuss color vision, the discovery of melanopsin and intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, and how light regulates our circadian clock and melatonin release. We also examine the vestibular system's role in balance and motion detection, the cerebellum's function in motor coordination, and the midbrain's integration of multiple sensory inputs. Finally, we discuss the basal ganglia's role in decision-making and an extraordinary case of neuroplasticity in visual cortex. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

Both hosts are getting an MRI soon, and now they're worried because some dude got killed by a machine recently when he wore a necklace into the MRI room. We hear what really happened today. We speculate about what we would get arrested for if we ever get arrested. Susie recounts the time she almost went to jail over breakfast, and Sarah claims she almost had to sue someone over mismatched carpet. Sarah watched an incredible documentary, and we can't believe what the topic of it is: extreme birdwatching. We learn why these birders are very competitive, strict with the rules, and are willing to spend a lot of money looking to see more species. Hear about the birding scandal that rocked their "honor system" and what they think about apps that help you identify and track birds.Brain Candy Podcast Presents: Susie & Sarah's SpOoOoOoOoktacular Spectacle, October 30, Oriental Theater, Denver, Colorado: Get your tickets!

There should be no contradiction in pursuing hard sciences, humanities, and moral virtue all in one day. For upper schoolers switching classrooms every hour, or for teachers siloed in a single subject, it can be easy to mistake “education” for a series of distinct academic categories. In this rebroadcast from 2015, Upper School Head Michael Moynihan gives us a better framework. He urges us to look at how our school's different departments present a unified and infinitively connective worldview—one that invites inquisitive engagement and exercises the full scope of human reason.

Captain Preet Chandi MBE is a world record breaking explorer, former British Army officer, and physiotherapist. She served in the Royal Army Medical Corps for 16 years before embarking on groundbreaking polar expeditions. In 2022, Preet became the ninth woman in history to ski solo to the South Pole, and the first woman of colour to complete a solo expedition on the continent. Less than a year later, she set out on her next adventure, breaking two Guinness World Records for the longest solo unsupported one-way ski expedition, both for a woman and overall, covering 922 miles in 70 days. She returned to Antarctica in December 2023 to set her fourth world record: the female speed record to the South Pole, completed in 31 days, 13 hours, and 19 minutes. Preet's expeditions are driven by her mission to inspire others to push boundaries. She champions the message that everyone starts somewhere, and that no matter your background or starting point in life, you are capable of breaking barriers and redefining what's possible. In 2025, she established her Community Interest Company, Adventure is Ours CIC, which supports expeditions that promote education, inspiration, climate awareness, and diversity in exploration. Through the CIC, she also delivers outreach, mentorship, and school visits to empower people of all ages. In 2022, Preet started delivered her school talks across the UK, reaching more than 18,000 students. That same year, she was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the Queen's Birthday Honours. Her achievements have been widely recognised: she received the ‘Inspirational' and ‘Woman of the Year' awards at the inaugural Women in Defence event in 2022, was named ‘Explorer of the Year' in 2023, and in 2025 was awarded the prestigious Geographical Award by the Royal Geographical Society.

The real edge in cybersecurity isn't found in new tools, it's built through timeless fundamentals and a mindset that never stops learning. In this episode, Ron sits down with Rich Greene, Senior Solutions Engineer and Instructor at SANS Institute, to uncover how true cyber value starts with skills, curiosity, and mindset. Rich shares his remarkable story of surviving a battlefield injury, retraining his brain, and how that journey shaped his approach to mastering cybersecurity.

I heard about a great experience illustrating awe in learning that was shared by a group of middle school students and their teacher in Grand Island, New York. They joined me on this podcast sharing their reflections and insights. As you hear their story consider where these elements of Awe appeared: Awe occurs when we experience something much larger than ourselves Awe leads to the need to reframe one's understanding of the world. Awe often brings forth emotions of humility, gratitude, and compassion. Awe is linked to prosocial behavior: people are more likely to help others after experiencing awe.

The Mariners are now in a position where they have gone from needing to have gritty resillience to killer instinct due to their 2-0 ALCS lead. And Brock and Salk talk through how they don't think that will be a huge issue for them. They also play sound from both Toronto and from Craig Carton once again regarding the Mariners and how people are starting to finally learn about them (or, at least some of them are). In Blue 88, topics include the Seahawks offensive line struggles, a Sam Darnold stat that Brock is confident that he thrives in and what Mark Schlereth took away from Mike Macdonald.

In Part 2 of a special Dawn Dusk series, Margo sits down with designer and maker Chelli Look, whose story is at the center of the documentary Dawn Dusk. Directed by Jason and Blue Gerber, the film follows Chelli's journey through grief and healing after the devastating loss of her sister to domestic violence. In this conversation, Chelli shares how creating leather handbags under her brand CHC became both a lifeline and a language for navigating profound loss. She offers her perspective on how the documentary came to be, what it means to create beauty amidst grief, and how creativity continues to shape her work as a designer, advocate, and visual storyteller. Through her story, we're reminded of the resilience found in making and the quiet strength of simply being. Margo and Chelli discuss: How the documentary Dawn Dusk unfolded from Chelli's perspective The role of creativity and design in navigating grief and emotional recovery Why beauty is a necessity—not a luxury—in the healing process How CHC handbags became a vessel for processing and storytelling The evolution of Chelli's work as an advocate for domestic violence survivors Learning to slow down, be present, and allow healing to unfold over time   Connect with Chelli: https://www.dawnduskfilm.com/trailer https://www.chellilook.com/ www.instagram.com/chelli_look www.instagram.com/dawnduskfilm  

In this deeply vulnerable episode, Dr. Glen and Phyllis continue their real-time conflict from last week, diving into the messy reality of what it looks like when one partner is thriving while the other is just beginning to recover from burnout. Recorded just moments after a morning conflict, this episode captures the raw, unscripted reality of navigating relationship pain when one person has no reserves left and the other is wondering when things will feel "normal" again. Glen and Phyllis, along with host Tera Wages, explore the invisible weight of mental and emotional labor in relationships, how partners experience the same events differently and arrive at different emotional places, the fear and uncertainty of not knowing how long a partner's pain will last, identity crisis and what it means to feel completely empty of reserves, the importance of getting curious instead of trying to fix, why processing pain 10,000 times is actually healthy (not a problem), how to support a partner who is in a season of deep transition, and the power of doing the Core Emotion Wheel regularly, especially during hard seasons. You'll learn why one partner can feel like they "sprinted" across the finish line while the other "crawled," how to recognize when mental/emotional labor is just as taxing as physical labor, the difference between desire and capacity in your body, why it's crucial to turn toward your partner and share your emotions in the moment, how to invite your partner back into connection when they miss with you, why identity pain is the greatest pain and requires the most patience, and the importance of slowing down and asking "Ooh, tell me more" instead of problem-solving. Whether you're the partner crawling across the finish line or the one wondering when your spouse will "bounce back," this episode offers permission to feel all of it, process it together, and remember that you're not broken—you're just human.Chapters:00:00:00 - Disclaimer00:02:30 - "I Don't Know If This Is a 5 Year or 25 Year Plan"00:05:50 - Phyllis's Perspective: "I'm Still Discovering Me"00:10:40 - The Identity Crisis: Selling the Company and Losing a Lane00:13:00 - Learning to Feel Emotions for the First Time: "Oh, That's What Burnout Feels Like"00:21:05 - "I Have No Reserves": A New Experience00:22:10 - Desire vs. Capacity: Learning to Listen to Your Body00:24:10 - Different Experiences at the Finish Line: "I Crawled, You Sprinted"00:40:00 - Identity Pain Is the Greatest Pain00:42:00 - "I Just Want You to Turn to Me"00:47:20 - The Lifeline: Using the Core Emotion Wheel in Hard SeasonsLinks and Resources:Connection Codes WebsiteTake the Connection Codes AssessmentConnection Codes CoachingWatch previous episodes on navigating conflictConnect with us on Instagram: @connectioncodes

Teacher editor Jo Earp finds out how the Aspect Learning Improvement Collaborative is using a mainstream learning framework developed by Dr Lyn Sharratt, adapted to suit an autism-specific education setting. We'll hear from Lyn, Aspect Education's Deputy National Director Karilyn Gumley and principals Kaye Perry, Joanne Tidsdell, and Michelle Zikmundovsky.

Originally aired on 10.29.21 For most of her childhood, Kate Somerville struggled with the tumultuous hand she was dealt. Then, in one moment, she received advice that turned her life around. Listen to hear that advice, and how it led to her starting her eponymous skincare brand.

Joy won't cure you, but it will carry you. After surviving a stage-four cancer diagnosis, Kate Bowler knew she was supposed to be grateful. Alive. Blessed. But she still ached—for more connection, more surprise, less resentment on an ordinary day. So she went looking for joy. Not the toxic positivity kind. Not a 5-step plan. But the type that sneaks in unexpectedly, seemingly out of nowhere. A lemur sunbathing. A belly laugh at a funeral. A dive into the Atlantic with a shark wrangler. In Joyful, Anyway, Bowler takes us on a hilarious and tender journey through big questions and small delights. With wry wit and deep honesty, she explores how joy can surprise us even in the middle of pain, boredom, and longing. This is not a book about fixing your life. It is about how we can all find more—feel more—by making room for small extraordinary moments. For anyone who has ever felt stuck, who is achy for meaning, who feels undone by loss, who feels that joy is just out of reach, who wants, simply, to have more fun, Joyful Anyway is a delicious, insightful tour through the questions that sit in the deepest part of our souls. It proves that for every time we ask: Is this it? Joy will answer: there is more. Joyful, Anyway releases on April 7, 2026, but you can pre-order now from all of your favorite retailers.

Most executives still chase superstar hires, assuming great individuals will automatically form great teams. In this Partnering Leadership conversation, Dr. Vanessa Druskat brings research depth and field-tested experience to make a different case. She is the author of The Emotionally Intelligent Team: Building Collaborative Groups that Outperform the Rest and a leading voice on how team norms drive performance. Her central claim is practical and testable. Outperformance comes from a clear system of team norms that reliably produce trust, candor, and real debate.Druskat explains why experienced leadership teams underdeliver even with strong résumés. Status and power dominate airtime. Quiet voices go unheard. The organization leaves talent on the table. Her work shows that ordinary teams become extraordinary when leaders codify the right norms, invite every voice, and convert distributed knowledge into better decisions.The episode organizes Team Emotional Intelligence into three buckets you can put to work fast. First, Belonging. People feel known, valued, and supported. Second, Learning Together. The team reviews what is working and what is not, and every voice participates in the analysis. Third, Outside In. The team seeks ideas and pressure tests beyond the group, including customers and friendly skeptics. Druskat ties these norms to psychological safety and faster, higher quality decisions, with concrete examples like 60-second check-ins, round-robins on live decisions, and five-minute debriefs.For time-pressed CEOs, the playbook is efficient. Start with an all-voices baseline to gauge current norms. Leaders often see a rosier picture than the team. Then pilot small behaviors in leadership meetings. Shift time from presenting to exchanging information and deciding. Add a short debrief after key moments. Druskat shares examples from executive teams and clinical settings where simple routines quickly lifted collaboration and results.She closes by tackling a stubborn myth. Hiring matters, but interactions matter more. Teams with average talent and superior norms outperform star teams with poor interactions. If your board expects speed, quality decisions, and execution, engineer the team's operating system, not just its org chart.Actionable TakeawaysYou'll learn a practical definition of Team Emotional Intelligence that senior leaders can measure and manage, not a feel-good idea.Hear how to use three buckets of norms to raise decision quality and execution speed. Belonging. Learning together. Outside in.You'll learn a quick baseline method that surfaces blind spots by including every voice, not only senior voices.Hear how to convert meetings into decision labs. Less presenting to impress, more exchanging information and deciding.You'll learn why five-minute debriefs after key moments create rapid learning without adding meeting bloat.Hear how to invite customers, operators, or a friendly skeptic to improve strategy accuracy and foresight.You'll learn why teams that include every voice unlock more talent than teams focused on individual star power.Connect with Vanessa DruskatVanessa Druskat Website Vanessa Drustkat LinkedIn Connect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

Rupture without Repair, and the Discomfort of Being Misunderstood   In this deeply personal episode, Patricia (she/her) unpacks the fallout from a neighborhood rupture and the painful loss of community connection. Through the lens of being autistic and AuDHD, she explores rejection sensitivity, communication breakdowns, friendship trauma, and why repair isn't always possible. She also shares how co-regulation, body doubling, Costco runs, and fierce family love provide grounding. This conversation is raw, tender, and validating for anyone who has struggled with being misunderstood as a neurodivergent person. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE ·       The neighborhood rupture and how a joke led to exclusion from a community group ·       What happens when rupture and repair aren't possible in friendships ·       The autistic need for clarity, communication, and closure ·       Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) and how silence feels like rejection ·       The PDA (persistent drive for autonomy) response to being left out ·       The pain of friendship trauma and feeling misunderstood ·       How autistic people process and loop on unresolved conflict ·       The role of community in belonging and nervous system regulation ·       Why body doubling and co-regulation help autistic/ADHD brains stay grounded ·       Finding comfort in Costco runs, small joys, and simple routines ·       Permission to need rest, wear earplugs, or retreat from sensory overwhelm ·       Generational differences in friendship and communication between neurodivergent people ·       Practicing adaptability through change (like moving workspaces at home) ·       The bittersweet truth: not all friendships are meant to last ·       Gratitude reframed through an autistic lens—how to find appreciation without bypassing pain SOUND BITES “For us, it felt like there was no space for human mistakes, no place for rupture and repair.” “This activated friendship trauma in me, and I've noticed my protective armor is up.” “Intellectually, I know this is fine. Emotionally, feeling misunderstood and powerless is really hard.” "You have a right to speak up." "Not all friendships last forever." "Life is messy. Friendships are messy." “Body doubling is such a beautiful way to borrow someone else's nervous system to regulate.” “Sensitivity is nothing to apologize for. It's how you're wired. You have the right to take up space.” SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are.   TOPICS COVERED (please adjust for addition of introduction) 00:00 Navigating Community Dynamics 08:42 The Impact of Silence and Rejection 17:06 Rupture, Repair, and the Complexity of Relationships 23:52 Finding Joy in Everyday Moments 29:13 Gratitude and Perspective on Life PODCAST HOST Patricia Young (she/her) was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.  Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion.  She created the podcasts Unapologetically Sensitive and Unapologetically AuDHD to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges.  Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent.

Normalizing mental health support is essential to expanding access for veterans and their families. In this episode, John Boerstler, Head of Public Sector at Ipsos Public Affairs, discusses the unique challenges veterans face in accessing behavioral health support and the critical need to reduce the stigma surrounding care-seeking. Drawing on his own military service and career across government, nonprofit, and private sectors, he emphasizes how cultural competency, community engagement, and innovative program design can strengthen pathways to care. He highlights initiatives such as National Buddy Check Week, proactive crisis-detection systems, and partnerships that connect veterans to vital services, including housing, employment, and legal aid. He also notes survey data showing that many veterans wait until crisis points to seek help. Finally, John reflects on how technology, combined with human-centered strategies and continuous veteran input, can help identify early warning signs, empower providers, and ensure that no veteran is left behind. Tune in and learn how innovation, empathy, and collaboration can transform veteran behavioral health care! Resources: Connect with and follow John Boerstler on LinkedIn.

You're not failing because you lack discipline. You're failing because your approach isn't sustainable.This solo conversation is about one of the biggest mindset traps that keeps people stuck: the all-or-nothing mentality. We talk about why extreme restriction always leads to burnout, how guilt and shame keep you in the yo-yo dieting cycle, and what it really means to live in the gray. I share lessons from my own experience with rigid eating, the patterns I see in clients every day, and how learning to take ownership (instead of chasing perfection) creates real, lasting change.If you're tired of the highs and lows of dieting, this one's going to hit close to home.Episode Timeline: 0:00 – Episode Preview1:31 – Podcast Intro 2:31 – What the all-or-nothing mindset is3:42 – The client stuck in a yo-yo diet cycle7:05 – Why restrictive diets always backfire9:40 – My personal struggle with rigid eating13:15 – The real reason we bounce between extremes15:45 – Why it's not about food, it's about mindset18:50 – Learning to take ownership and eat like an adult21:35 – Building systems that work in real life24:15 – How to live in the gray without guilt26:30 – Podcast Outro and invitation to take actionLinks & Resources:Connect with Ben on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bodysystemscoaching/Learn more about Ben's coaching program: www.bodysystems.comSubscribe to the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-smart-nutrition-made-simple-show-with-ben-brown/id1244912234 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4H8vUlwYvKcAXZOv84sFgT Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@bodysystemscoaching Book Free Nutrition Strategy Call - https://bodysystems.com/free-strategy-call/
