The Rizzuto Show is preparing for the Glory Hole Challenge, which is already a sentence nobody involved should be particularly proud of.Before Riz sticks his face anywhere questionable, the crew tackles another important milestone of getting older: figuring out which hobbies are officially too dangerous to start now. Skateboarding? Probably. Skiing? Maybe. Water skiing? Enjoy your new meniscus. Playing guitar? Absolutely. Learning the tuba? Sure, assuming everyone else in your house has wronged you somehow.Rafe remembers the time he tried dropping into a half-pipe for a commercial despite having absolutely no business doing so, while Moon offers to teach everyone how to ski before somebody reaches “child death velocity” on the bunny slope. It's the kind of responsible recreational advice you can only get from a funny podcast where one member once got mocked by a child on a scooter.Then the show launches into a full investigation of “normal” behavior. Eating pizza crust first? Jail. Ice cubes in milk? Disturbing. Rewatching the same TV show for the 45th time? Completely acceptable. Eating cereal dry? Depends how comfortable you are looking like a raccoon that found an open pantry. Setting approximately 20 alarms every morning? Rafe would like a word. Looking up a movie's ending while you're still watching it? Lern has her reasons, especially if there's an animal involved.We also learn that some people sit in their cars after arriving home just to enjoy a few precious minutes of solitude, Scott would apparently like to eventually become Amish rather than answer his phone, and grocery shopping without a list is basically allowing the spirits of Schnucks to determine your dinner.And then comes the cheese.Is it acceptable to unwrap a block of cheese and bite directly into it? Lern says yes. Rafe admits he'll sneak a bite but then cut away the evidence like a dairy-based criminal mastermind. Moon understands the temptation. Riz is understandably concerned about everybody. What begins as a simple question somehow turns into an argument about cheese cubes, rectangles, parallelograms, Rubik's Cubes and Michelangelo — until Rafe declares himself a “cheese sculptor” whose teeth are merely the tools of his art.Throw in concert harmonica etiquette, peanut butter burgers, phone habits, restaurant-menu preparation, celebrity chatter and the approaching Glory Hole Challenge, and you have another funny podcast proving that no topic is too insignificant to become a completely unnecessary 20-minute argument.It's The Rizzuto Show: where growing older may bring wisdom, but apparently none of it is being used here.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Does homework time in your house end in tears, arguments, or a kid still awake at midnight?  In this episode, Dr. Aliza Pressman sits down with Dr. Ellen Braaten, founding director of the Learning and Emotional Assessment Program (LEAP) at Massachusetts General Hospital and associate professor of psychology at Harvard Medical School. Together they unpack why homework has become such a point of tension in families, why more homework isn't actually better for kids, and how too much of it can quietly chip away at sleep, motivation, and mental health, whether your child is in second grade or staying up late studying in high school.  What you'll learn: ● How much homework kids actually need by age, and why more than two hours a night stops helping  ● The hidden costs of too much homework: lost sleep, lower motivation, and rising anxiety  ● How to support your child without hovering, controlling, or doing the work for them ● What to say (and what to skip) when your child is crying over homework  ● Why bright kids with ADHD, learning differences, or slow processing speed can take hours to finish  ● How to tell the difference between a homework problem and a mental health problem 

Bigger returns. Guaranteed income for life. Retiring five years early. Every one of these sounds like an obvious yes, until you see the invoice that comes with it. Joe puts Doc G, OG, and Jesse Cramer through a rapid-fire "in or out" game: he pitches five genuinely appealing financial ideas, and each of them has to decide whether they'd actually take the deal, and name the worst realistic thing that could go wrong if they did.What You'll Walk Away WithWhy leveraged ETFs have historically wiped out the vast majority of investors who hold them for more than a few yearsThe real, academically-supported case for and against thematic and "beat the market" investment fundsA clear framework for handling a single stock that's grown into 40% of your portfolio, including a simple trick for spreading a big tax bill across two tax yearsWhy "guaranteed income for life" almost always means giving up the one thing that actually protects you from inflation over a multi-decade retirementA genuinely helpful explanation of what a Monte Carlo simulation's "80% success rate" actually means, and why it's not the cliff-edge failure people assumeWhy retiring five years earlier isn't automatically the right move, even when the math technically worksA real cost-benefit gut check on working an extra year or two specifically to fully fund a child's college educationWhy This Matters NowThe financial products and strategies that sound the most appealing, guaranteed income, market-beating returns, an earlier retirement, all have a cost that isn't obvious from the pitch alone. That cost isn't always dishonest or hidden on purpose, but it only becomes clear once you ask the right follow-up questions. Learning to instinctively look for that fine print, what you're giving up, what could go wrong, and whether the tradeoff actually serves your specific goals, is a far more useful skill than knowing the name of any single financial product.From the BasementA three-way tie atomizes the year-long trivia standings heading into the fourth quarter, decided by a question about how little Charles Schulz was paid for the very first month of Peanuts comic strips.Resources MentionedEarn & Invest podcast — Doc G's showPersonal Finance for Long-Term Investors podcast — Jesse Cramer's showGranola — AI-powered meeting notes tool mentioned in the sponsor breakStacking Benjamins on OG's calendar — for financial planning helpSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What does it take to go from an Idaho high school state champion to playing college basketball? On Episode 477 of The Gametime Guru, Shane Larson sits down with Josie Davis, a former Owyhee High School standout from Meridian, Idaho, and current college basketball player at Fort Lewis College. Josie was a four-year letterwinner at Owyhee High School and capped off her prep basketball career as a state champion and State Tournament MVP. She earned multiple All-Conference and All-State honors while also competing at a high level in track and field. But Josie's story goes far beyond championships and awards. In this conversation, Josie gives athletes, parents and coaches an inside look at what it actually takes to make the jump from high school sports to college athletics. We discuss: When Josie realized she wanted to become a college athlete The extra work she put in outside of normal basketball practices The sacrifices high school athletes may have to make to reach the next level Owyhee High School's run to an Idaho state basketball championship How Josie handled pressure during the state tournament Why she believes young athletes should compete in multiple sports How track and field helped improve her explosiveness, athleticism and rebounding The biggest differences between high school basketball and college basketball Transitioning from point guard to shooting guard at Fort Lewis College Why defense has always been one of the foundations of her game Why young basketball players need to actually watch high-level basketball What a typical day looks like for a college student-athlete Her routine of working toward 300 made three-pointers per day Balancing basketball, lifting, conditioning, classes and studying Why athletes need to remember they are more than their sport The biggest life lesson basketball has taught her Her future goals in occupational therapy and working with children Josie also explains just how different the college game becomes. The speed increases. The physicality increases. Every player was successful at the level they came from, which means competition for playing time becomes even more intense. For Josie, that transition also meant learning an entirely new role. After playing point guard throughout high school, she moved to shooting guard at Fort Lewis and began developing into more of a scoring threat while continuing to take pride in her defense. One of the biggest lessons from this episode is the importance of doing the work that nobody requires you to do. Extra shooting. Extra training. Strength work. Watching basketball. Learning the game. Prioritizing academics. Showing up on the days when you may not feel like doing it. Josie shares how that mentality helped take her from Owyhee High School basketball in Meridian, Idaho to becoming a college basketball player. And while athletics are a major part of her life, Josie also offers an important perspective for student-athletes: you are more than your sport. She is currently studying health sciences and plans to pursue a master's degree with the goal of becoming an occupational therapist and eventually working with children with disabilities. If you're a high school athlete wondering what it takes to play college basketball, a parent helping your athlete navigate the process, a coach developing young players, or simply a basketball fan who enjoys learning from athletes who are currently living the journey, this episode is for you. Guest: Josie Davis Position: Guard High School: Owyhee High School – Meridian, Idaho College: Fort Lewis College Sport: Women's Basketball The Gametime Guru brings you conversations with athletes, coaches and sports professionals from around the world to help you see sports through a different lens. What time is it? GAMETIME.

"The accumulation of these malignant and reactive cells, that's what causes the lymph nodes to get big. That's why they grow. And that's why the classic presentation is persistent, painless, enlarged lymph nodes. So when we think of the pathophysiology of Hodgkin lymphoma, there are really two processes contributing to the presentation: One is the physical effects of enlarging lymph nodes or the involved organs. The second is the systemic inflammatory response generated by it and its surrounding immune environment," ONS member Victoria Krogg, DNP, APRN-CNP, AOCNP®, nurse practitioner at the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute in Columbus, OH, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, TCTCN™, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about an overview of Hodgkin lymphoma for oncology nurses.

Highlights From This Episode "Hodgkin lymphoma can be diagnosed at virtually any age but is more common in younger patients as well as older adults. It kind of skips middle-aged people, but it occurs in our geriatric population as well. There are different prognostic implications depending on the group of patients that are diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. As far as risk factors ... Hodgkin lymphoma is not considered a hereditary disease. There's not a specific gene we know of today that can be passed down to children and put them at risk. But if there is a first-degree relative affected by a lymphoma, we do find that noteworthy. We do consider it a risk factor. But that risk factor isn't necessarily a hereditary component so much as it is having that same genetic susceptibility to Hodgkin's or perhaps sharing common environmental exposures." TS 5:46 "Sometimes the subtypes of Hodgkin lymphoma can vary in terms of presentation. It's certainly not textbook how someone can present. But generally, we worry about enlarged lymph nodes, especially if they are notably enlarged to the point where someone can even see them when they're standing a few feet away from that individual. ... We also worry about what we call B symptoms, related to B lymphocytes, such as unexplained and persistent fevers, drenching night sweats, unexplained weight loss, and new progressive fatigue. ... Interestingly, there is a phenomenon where sometimes people who have an underlying Hodgkin lymphoma will experience lymph node pain or tenderness when they drink alcohol. It's kind of a unique presenting symptom. But I also want to point out that you don't have to have all of these symptoms. A lot of patients are relatively asymptomatic, meaning without symptoms." TS 8:37 "It's always important to consider if there is any very obvious infectious or inflammatory correlate that could explain the enlarged lymph node. Something I've seen in my practice is someone gets a flu vaccine in their right arm and then a couple of days later they notice a lump in their right armpit. And yeah, it might be a flared lymph node, but they also had a vaccine in their arm recently, which would stimulate your lymph node, because the purpose of the vaccine is to have an effect on the immune system. So I always want to make sure—is there something really obvious that could explain these lymph nodes being abnormal? A recent tattoo, recent injury, or infection proximal to where that enlarged lymph node is? So, you have to think of all of that when you're thinking of the differential diagnoses that come to mind." TS 19:19 "Nurses can be monumentally helpful with the education role with any patients who may have lymphoma. It would be helpful if nurses guide patients on the diagnostic process, providing support, guidance and encouragement, and of course, advocating for patients. Also, when you think of Hodgkin lymphoma and you think of the younger patients that are diagnosed with it, there's some additional supportive care that we need to consider, and we may need to refer them for fertility preservation. That can be very daunting for our young patients, so it's helpful to have nursing support in those situations." TS 22:55 "People think of Hodgkin lymphoma as a very treatable disease—and it can be very curable for certain patient populations—but it's not a 100% success rate. We do still have fatalities, so it's a very serious thing. I try to always educate my patients about seeking out care if they notice new lumps or bumps on their bodies. We can observe enlarged lymph nodes most easily on the neck, under the armpit, and in the groin area. If someone were to notice a lump in that area, short-term observation—keeping an eye on it for two weeks is fine—but if it persists past that, they should definitely seek care to get it evaluated." TS 33:18

If we could reinvent schools, where would we begin?In Episode 5 of Talking Teaching, The University of Melbourne's Host, Dr Sophie Specjal welcomes Professor Sharon Goldfeld and Associate Professor Jon Quach for a conversation about rethinking schools and the connections between children's learning, health and wellbeing.Bringing perspectives from research, education and child health, this conversation invites us to reconsider what schools can be and how we support them to fulfil that promise.As the phased rollout of Thriving Kids begins, these questions have particular relevance. The episode offers a broader lens on early support, collaboration and the systems surrounding children and families.Professor Sharon Goldfeld AM is a developmental paediatrician and public health researcher and Director of the Centre for Community Child Health, a department of The Royal Children's Hospital and a research group of the Murdoch Children's Research Institute. Her work brings together child development, health, education, equity and the translation of evidence into policy and systems. A central thread in Sharon's work is the importance of the early years and how children's experiences before school and during the first years of schooling shape later learning, engagement, health and life trajectories.Professor Jon Quach is based in the Faculty of Education at the University of Melbourne and is affiliated with Population Health at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute. His research focuses on evidence-informed systems and interventions that support student mental health, wellbeing, engagement and learning, including the Mental Health in Primary Schools (MHiPS) initiative and work connecting schools with families, services and communities. His work also examines how experiences and supports across childhood, including the early and primary years, can influence longer-term learning and wellbeing.This episode deliberately continues the 2023 Talking Teaching episode Reinventing Schools: Elevating Student Learning, Wellbeing and Health. The original episode began with educators Erin Brass and Karlie Price describing MHiPS in practice, before Sharon and Jon explored the larger Reinventing Australian Schools provocation: what might schools become if learning, health and wellbeing were understood as interconnected parts of a child's development rather than separate priorities?Early years were also central to that discussion. Sharon stressed that what happens before school matters, that the transition into school should not be treated as an artificial divide, and that the first years of schooling are especially important for brain development, learning and engagement. This episode returns explicitly to that continuum, from early childhood into school, and asks what newer evidence tells us about prevention, early support, and changing trajectories before disengagement or difficulty becomes entrenched.This engaging conversation draws on what has been learned through MHiPS at scale, newer work on student voice, engagement and disengagement, Child and Family Hubs, Getting it Right, school lunches and integrated supports. It also makes one concise connection to the recent conversation Talking Teaching host, Dr Sophie Specjal had with Professor Frank Oberklaid and Associate Professor Matt Harrison about Thriving Kids, prevention, neurodiversity and earlier support.More information and useful links are available via this ⁠⁠⁠⁠link⁠⁠⁠⁠ on our Faculty of Education , Talking Teaching Web Page, where all listeners can access free resources discussed in this episode and insight into events and research at the Faculty of Education.

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, Dr. Kathy delves into the recent National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) report, often referred to as the nation's report card. The findings reveal that high school seniors are experiencing a significant decline in math and reading skills, with scores reaching historic lows. 12th graders have recorded the weakest performance since the assessment began. Dr. Kathy raises important questions about whether current educational assessments are outdated, considering the advancements in technology such as computers and AI that have emerged since the assessment's inception in 1992. The discussion prompts listeners to reflect on the effectiveness of traditional educational standards in today's rapidly evolving world.

Have you ever decided that you need to make a change and then wanted to change everything at once? Maybe you decide you're going to eat better, exercise more, get to bed earlier, drink less alcohol, meditate every day or finally get yourself organised. We can become so focused on the result that we overlook the process of getting there. In Ayurveda, sustainable change isn't about forcing the body into a completely different way of being. It's about understanding where we are, listening to the body and creating the conditions that allow change to happen. In this episode, we explore why preparation is such an important part of an Ayurvedic reset and why this principle extends far beyond cleansing. Whether you're changing your eating habits, sleep, exercise, workload, relationship with technology or something more personal, the way you approach change can influence how sustainable it becomes. In this episode, we explore: Why we're often drawn to dramatic transformation and immediate results The difference between forcing change and supporting change Why sustainable change requires the body and mind to adapt How Prakriti and Vikriti help us understand our individual needs The role of Agni in preparing the body for change How reducing excess stimulation can create more space for the body and nervous system Preparing the mind and moving away from perfectionism, punishment and rigid rules Approaching a reset with curiosity rather than focusing solely on results How self-awareness can gradually develop into self-trust Creating an environment that makes sustainable change more realistic Why a health plan needs room for observation and adjustment Learning to listen to what your body is telling you rather than simply following the rules Join the Autumn Digestive Reset Cleanse If you're ready to support your body through this seasonal transition, my Discounted Group Digestive Reset Cleanse begins October 9th.

What if one of the most important parts of your ultramarathon training isn't another long run, hill workout, or strength session? What if it's training your mind? In this episode of Run the Riot, I sit down with ultrarunner, clinical hypnotherapist, mindset coach, and NLP practitioner Holly Grahn, founder of Hypno Gold. Holly recently completed her first 200-mile race at the Divide 200, and we dig into what it took to prepare for that kind of challenge—not only physically, but mentally. Holly shares how she used visualization, mental rehearsal, positive reframing, gratitude, and self-hypnosis before the race so that when things got difficult, her mind was already trained to look for a way forward. And things definitely got difficult. We talk about sore feet, massive climbs, long stretches between aid stations, pouring rain, hallucinating a monkey wearing sunglasses, catching her boyfriend Rob around mile 100, and ultimately finishing their first 200 miler together. But this conversation goes much deeper than racing. Holly explains how the beliefs we carry about ourselves can affect the way we train, race, work, and live. We talk about self-doubt, fear, anxiety, feeling like we're "not good enough," and why simply telling yourself to be positive isn't always enough. Holly also explains what hypnotherapy actually is—and what it isn't—and how she works with athletes and other high performers to identify thought patterns that may be holding them back. We talk about: • Holly's journey from a shy kid who struggled with self-esteem to ultrarunner and hypnotherapist • Her early ultramarathons and the lessons she learned the hard way • Preparing physically and mentally for the Divide 200 • Why mental training should happen before race day • Visualization and mental rehearsal for difficult race situations • Turning negative thoughts into useful beliefs • Looking for evidence that supports the person you want to become • Talking to yourself like you would talk to a friend • Gratitude as a tool when an ultra gets difficult • Breaking huge challenges into the next aid station—or even the next step • Learning from DNFs rather than allowing them to define you • Why identity affects behavior • What hypnotherapy actually feels like • The difference between stage hypnosis and clinical hypnotherapy • Self-doubt, anxiety, fear, sleep, procrastination, and self-sabotage • The Hypno Gold app Holly created for athletes and high performers • Why there may be much more inside you than you've discovered yet One practical takeaway from Holly that I really liked: write down a negative belief you're carrying, rewrite it into something that moves you toward your goal, and then start looking for actual evidence that supports the new belief. Training the body matters. But when you've been moving for days, you're exhausted, your feet hurt, and everything inside you is telling you to stop, your mind becomes part of the equipment you're carrying. ### Connect with Holly Grahn **Hypno Gold:** https://www.hypnogold.com/ **Hypno Gold App:** https://hypnogold.passion.io/ **Instagram:** @hypno_gold_app **Facebook:** Hypno Gold **Schedule a session with Holly:** https://schedulewithhypnoholly.as.me/ **Email:** info@hypnogold.com Holly's Hypno Gold app includes sessions covering areas such as performance, mindset, sleep, anxiety, procrastination, self-sabotage, emotional healing, and personal growth.

  John Lynch joins Nate and Aaron on the Pirate Monk Podcast to talk about the gospel identity that has shaped his life, ministry, and recovery. The conversation moves from his recent bike trip in Spain to the deeper spiritual work of moving from shame and striving toward being loved by God as you are.They discuss John's journey from performance-driven religion to grace, the effects of shame, and why safe, honest community matters more than polished spirituality. The episode also previews his role at the upcoming Samson Summit. Nate and Aaron connect John's adventurous, “all in” personality to his lifelong passion for gospel identity. John explains why his goal was not simply to teach the Bible verse by verse, but to help people see who they are in Christ. He traces that passion to his conversion at age 27, after years of pain and shame following the end of a relationship and his baseball career. John reflects on how seminary gave him information but not transformation, and how an authentic church community kept drawing him toward Christ. He shares how naming childhood sexual abuse, after keeping it hidden for 35 years, helped him experience grace more honestly. The conversation explores the difference between guilt and shame: guilt says you did something wrong; shame says something is wrong with who you are. John says the voice of shame is not the voice of God—and that God never says, “You're too much for me.” John discusses creating “gospel places” where people can be fully known without being loved less. The episode previews John's upcoming sessions at the Samson Summit and considers how vulnerability can help people walk alongside one another.   Oct 23-25, 2026 U.S. Samson Summit   NEW Samson Community App (Apple store) NEW Samson Community App (Google Store)   Send mail to: Pirate Monk Podcast/Samson House PO BOX 1656 Columbia, TN 38402   If you have thoughts or questions and you'd like the guys to address in upcoming episodes or suggestions for future guests, please drop a note to piratemonkpodcast@gmail.com.     The opening and closing music on this podcast is contributed by members of the Samson Society.

In this episode of the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast, host Josh Hadley discusses why judgment is the most valuable skill he looks for when hiring. Drawing from his experience scaling an ecommerce brand to eight figures, Josh explains that while AI can efficiently handle repetitive tasks, human judgment remains irreplaceable for making sound decisions with incomplete information. He outlines four key indicators of good judgment, shares a Steve Jobs story about ruthless prioritization, and warns against over-relying on AI for strategic thinking, emphasizing that wrestling with difficult decisions is what sharpens judgment over time.Bullet Points:Importance of judgment as a key skill in hiring team members.Distinction between judgment and execution in business success.Role of AI in handling repetitive tasks and its limitations in decision-making.Characteristics of good judgment, including decision-making with incomplete information.Indicators of individuals with good judgment, such as driving results and identifying constraints.The significance of focus and prioritization in achieving impactful outcomes.Learning from experience and feedback to develop judgment within a team.The necessity of saying no to less important tasks to maintain focus.The example of Steve Jobs simplifying Apple's product line to illustrate effective judgment.Caution against over-reliance on AI for strategic thinking and decision-making.Timestamps:00:00:00 The Most Valuable Skill in HiringThe host introduces judgment as the single most valuable skill he looks for when hiring new team members.00:00:58 Execution vs. JudgmentBusiness success shifts from execution to judgment, which involves making critical decisions on pricing, products, data, and team management.00:02:09 AI's Role in ExecutionAI is excellent at executing repetitive, process-driven tasks, making human executors less necessary in modern business operations.00:04:21 The Value of Human ExperienceHiring smart individuals brings valuable experience, including lessons learned from past failures, which builds strong judgment for the team.00:06:57 Defining JudgmentJudgment is making solid decisions with incomplete information, unlike intelligence. It's about knowing what to do and what to ignore.00:09:13 How to Identify Good JudgmentKey indicators of good judgment include a track record of results, identifying constraints, focusing on impactful tasks, and acting decisively.00:13:02 Developing Judgment in Your TeamDevelop team judgment through experience, creating feedback loops for learning from wins and losses, and teaching them to say no.00:15:23 The Importance of Learning from ExperienceTeam members must have a feedback loop to articulate why something worked or didn't, and then refine systems accordingly.00:17:26 The Power of Saying NoGood judgment involves prioritizing the few key tasks that drive results and saying no to less important initiatives.00:18:30 The Steve Jobs and Apple StorySteve Jobs simplified Apple's complex product line to just four core products, demonstrating judgment by focusing on what truly mattered.00:21:59 Busyness Doesn't Equal ResultsActivity and being busy do not guarantee success. The focus must be on whether the work is producing meaningful business results.00:26:09 The Leader's Role in JudgmentA leader's job is to ensure the team works on what matters, not just completing tasks, and to stop unproductive projects.00:29:39 A Warning: AI Can Weaken Your JudgmentOver-relying on AI for strategic thinking and communication can weaken a leader's own judgment by removing necessary mental friction.Links and Mentions:Tools and Technologies  "Claude": "00:03:12"Concepts and Ideas  "SOPs": "00:02:09"  "AI as an executor": "00:03:12"  "Feedback loop": "00:15:23"  "411 meetings": "00:16:28"Examples and Anecdotes  "Steve Jobs and Apple": "00:20:54"Key Takeaways  "Judgment vs. Execution": "00:06:57"  "Identifying constraints": "00:10:21"Recommendations  "Hiring for judgment": "00:13:02"Transcript:Josh Hadley 00:00:00  I'm going to share the single most valuable skill that I look for when I hire someone today, and more importantly, how you can develop more of it within the team that you already have. Welcome to the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast, I'm Josh Hadley. I've scaled my own ecommerce brand from 0 to 8 figures, and I'm actively building towards nine figures in sales. This podcast is where I document that journey and share the systems, the strategies, and the lessons learned in real time so that you can learn what actually matters and scale your own business. My name is Josh Hadley. First and foremost, I'm a man of faith. I'm a husband to a beautiful wife and the father of four children. I've been selling in the e-commerce space for over a decade now, doing over $20 million in annual revenue in multi-million on channels such as Amazon, TikTok, Shop and Shopify. And I am also the host of the number one business strategy podcast for ecommerce entrepreneurs, Ecomm Breakthrough. Today, I'm going to share why judgment is the number one skill that you should be looking for whenever you hire someone.Josh Hadley 00:00:58  Look, at the end of the day, you can have all the SOPs, the dashboards, the data and the right team, but still make the wrong call because at a certain level of business, business stops being about execution and it starts being about judgment. Knowing when to raise prices, knowing when to kill a product, when to trust data or not, when to ignore it, and when to coach someone versus when to you need to replace them. That is where the real money is made or lost in business. So today we're going to dive into like what this skill of judgment is and why I am so adamant about hiring for this and why it's the number one skill that I am looking for in any of my team members today. The reason why I am so adamant that judgment is one of the most important skills that you should be looking for and developing in your team is because with the advent of AI, I think that execution layer in any business is almost becoming extinct. And if you are employing people that need to just go execute tasks for you, I would say you've got it completely backwards.Josh Hadley 00:02:09  And honestly, if that's the reason why you're hiring a lot of people is just because you have so many tasks and they just need to be handed off to someone else, maybe it's a virtual assistant or something like that. That can be good. Yes. I'm very proud of you for getting things off of your plate. However, with AI, that's what it's so good at. AI is a great executor. If you have a process that is always follow x, y, then z. And by the way, don't ever deviate from that. Always make sure you do x, then y, then z. I would give that to AI all day long. And honestly, that's how I started my business. The first people that I were was hiring in the business was just to go follow a very repeatable process, because that's what I needed. I needed people to take things off of my plate. And so, yes, if that's what you're used to hiring for is getting things off your plate, creating a whole bunch of SOPs and giving it to other team members, I would say yes, that's a step in the ri...

Personal brand has become one of the biggest buzzwords in the creator world. Creators everywhere are launching offers, building funnels, and posting consistently, yet very few are creating something people actually remember.I sat down with Chris Do, Emmy award-winning designer and founder of The Futur, to talk about what it really takes to build a personal brand that stands out. We get into why most creators end up serviceable but forgettable, why branding comes down to differentiation, and the three-part framework behind brands people obsess over. Chris also shares why the real work of personal branding happens internally, how to find your voice phrase, and the trust triangle that decides who audiences believe. Partway through, he turns the interview around and starts coaching me, and we go much deeper than I expected.If you're building a personal brand and wondering why it isn't resonating yet, I think you'll get a lot out of this conversation.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction01:39 What it means to un-bland yourself02:48 Why branding is all about differentiation03:04 Why Apple has a brand and Dell doesn't04:31 How status and identity drive what we buy07:29 How Target built a brand10:42 How Kit positions its brand11:44 Moving from features to meaning14:11 Why most personal brands are really marketing funnels16:11 Why personal brand work is internal16:26 How we lose who we really are19:04 Chris starts asking the questions20:24 How getting sick at 24 changed Nathan's identity21:51 Why we tie our identity to what we do23:03 Who are you outside of your work?23:36 Why you are the gift25:51 How Chris answers "who are you?"26:36 The difference between design and art28:45 Why being true to yourself comes first29:45 Nathan's mission32:24 Why Chris moved from commercial work to content33:36 Why your brand needs to stand against something35:44 Finding your keyword and your nemesis37:03 Why the best heroes have great enemies40:39 The three-part personal brand framework41:49 Chris's own brand triangle42:33 Workshopping Nathan's personal brand43:30 Separating who you are from your company44:44 The story behind Chris's mission47:25 Why all strategy is autobiographical48:13 Nathan on feeling like a burden49:29 Nathan's story about his stepdad53:49 Chris's read on Nathan's story56:36 Finding Nathan's rallying cry59:28 Learning to accept help1:01:26 Why we trust people who aren't perfect online1:02:00 The trust triangle1:04:52 How to find your voice phrase1:08:21 Final thoughtsIf you enjoyed this episode, please like and subscribe, share it with your friends, and leave a review.

Katelyn Scott joins The Luke Branquinho Show after a 2025 season that put her name on the barrel racing map in a big way. From a Caldwell win that helped set her season in motion to making the NFR and placing in six of 10 rounds, Katelyn takes us behind the scenes of a career year — including the tough decisions, sacrifices and perspective that helped get her there. Katelyn talks about her horse Peanut, including the decision to turn out of Cody and head to Calgary, the confidence-building run that followed, and the incredible NFR moment when Peanut went down at the first barrel but got back up and finished the pattern. She also shares what it meant to carry on her family's rodeo legacy. Her great-aunt Margaret Owens Montgomery was the first president of the Girls Rodeo Association in 1948 and a world champion, making Katelyn's journey to the NFR part of a much larger family history in rodeo. Plus, Katelyn opens up about the people who have helped guide her career, learning how to lose gracefully, finding perspective when things don't go your way, and what people often misunderstand about her away from the arena. **In this episode:** * Caitlin's breakout 2025 season * The Caldwell and San Bernardino wins * Making the decision to turn out of Cody * The bond between Caitlin and Peanut * Making the NFR and placing in six rounds * Peanut's unforgettable fall in Round 7 * Caitlin's family's rodeo legacy * Her great-aunt Margaret Owens Montgomery's history * The importance of having people in your corner * Learning how to lose gracefully * Finding perspective through the highs and lows of rodeo * What people get wrong about Caitlin ━━━━━━━━━━ ★

Ask professionals at the world's biggest companies whether they have a plan for their own learning and growth, and Bill Hoogterp says the answer is almost never yes. He built LifeHikes around that gap, and in this episode he shows how a happy accident turned into a scalable model. Bill's career reads like a series of rivers rather than a roadmap: a decade of living cashless and keyless, nonprofits that mobilized over a million student volunteers, an internet company that grew into Raptive, and, 12 years ago, a pivot into training and coaching. Peter presses him for the through line, and the answer says a lot about how ideas take shape. The pivotal moment came at a public speaking session with a room full of Hollywood agents. Bill's coaches had started offering ten free minutes of executive coaching during breaks. When one agent asked for an honest read on himself in front of the group, a line formed. Peter calls it the free sample model, the same play bakeries and Costco have run for years. Those short conversations surfaced a bigger problem. Learning is highly structured until school ends, and then people are on their own, with no system for mapping what to learn, what the business needs, and where they want to go. As Prudential's Charlie Lowrey put it, it's the 401(k) before the 401(k). LifeHikes is Bill's answer: a model any company can customize, shaped by regular conversations with a couple hundred learning leaders. He is also moving his shares into a foundation, which is now working with the Mastercard Foundation on workforce skills for young people in Africa. Then the conversation gets personal. Bill has coached celebrities and CEOs, and he is direct about what he sees behind the titles: plenty of people who look like they're crushing it are running on empty. Beyond a certain income, he argues, fulfillment comes from growth, challenge, meaning, and adventure, and how society keeps score shapes what we chase. He even asks Peter to guess how much potential most people leave on the table. If you build ideas for a living, or lead people who do, this one is worth your time. It's a candid look at how a small experiment becomes a model, and what a model is ultimately for. Three Key Takeaways: • Give people a taste and demand follows. Ten free minutes of executive coaching at the end of a training session revealed a hunger most people didn't know they had. The sample became the on-ramp to a much larger business. • Growth is a missing system, not a missing desire. Once school ends, nobody maps out what you should learn or where you're headed. A customizable, 401(k)-style model gives companies a way to fill that gap for everyone, not just the top tier. • How you keep score shapes what you chase. Past a certain income, happiness comes from growth, challenge, meaning, and adventure, not the next raise. Change the scoring, as the three-point line changed basketball, and you change the game. This conversation is basically the book in miniature. Bill's LifeHikes story — free coaching samples turning into a scalable model, one insight at a time — is exactly the pattern Peter, Bill Sherman, and Naren Aryal mapped out after 700+ podcast conversations with thought leaders. If you want the frameworks behind what you just heard, not just the anecdote, pick up The Thought Leadership Handbook, co-authored by Peter Winick, Bill Sherman, and Naren Aryal.

In this episode of Wisdom of the Body, Heather Grzych talks with author Katya Suvarova about how family, culture, childhood, and the circumstances we grow up in can shape the people we become. Drawing from Katya's memoir Ungrateful Immigrant Daughter, they explore what happens when childhood adaptations become adult identities, how inherited family patterns can continue long after the conditions that created them have changed, and what it means to understand your family without simply repeating its patterns. Heather brings in an Ayurvedic perspective on the relationship between a person and the conditions they live in, and the question of whether we can deliberately create new patterns through different practices and circumstances. This conversation explores what we inherit, what we adapt to, what we choose to keep, and what it takes to decide which parts of your family story belong in your future.  Chapters: 00:00 Intro   00:07 How early survival adaptations become personality   01:14 Who is Katya Suvorova and what her memoir is about   02:46 Learning she was undocumented   06:52 Coping patterns that followed into adulthood   10:33 Did writing the memoir change her relationship to trauma?   12:48 Grounding herself after the book   19:45 Discovering her mother's hidden past   27:16 What produces trauma and identity confusion   30:23 Did publishing the book bring freedom?   35:49 How secrecy and trauma affected her body   40:12 What she still keeps private about her mother   46:19 What remains unsaid, and what comes next   50:12 Outro  Heather Grzych, ADLC is an author, healthcare strategist, and host of the Wisdom of the Body podcast, a top 2.5% global podcast.

Episode 100 feels like a threshold.A full cycle. A new chapter. And I can't think of a better conversation to begin it with than receiving.We talk a lot about wanting more.More money.More support.More visibility.More opportunity.More ease.More love.But wanting something consciously and actually having the capacity to receive it are not always the same thing.In this episode, I'm inviting you out of the mind and into the body.What happens when someone wants to pay you more, support you, praise you, hire you, really see you, or give something to you?Do you soften?Do you contract?Do you minimize?Do you immediately feel like you have to earn it?Because sometimes what looks like a money issue is really a receiving issue.A support issue.A self-worth issue.A safety issue.Or an old story about what happens when we are given more.The body remembers.And those tiny contractions can tell us a much larger story.In this episode, we explore receiving as a nervous-system experience, the body's response to money, support, praise, visibility and opportunity, the beliefs underneath contraction, and why “more” can sometimes register as pressure, obligation or danger.I also share more about the chapter I'm moving into around 2nd-house themes — money, worth, resources, receiving and what we're actually able to hold.And I'm introducing something new to the podcast: live listener explorations where we'll follow the thread underneath a contraction and explore the subconscious emotion, belief or pattern sitting beneath the surface.I also take you inside the Rooted & Rising Living Library and the Annual Profections Guide.ANNUAL PROFECTIONS GUIDEOne of the first people to move through the guide is a seasoned astrologer + artist.She described the experience as:“This was such a gift, an alchemical blend of astrology and storytelling.”She shared that the storytelling prompts became a remedy that helped her move out of a frozen pattern of confusion and call forward the archetype of Mars — courage, movement, assertion and life force — as she prepares to put her art into the world more courageously.That is the heart of this work.Not collecting more information.Learning how to recognize the story you are already living inside.The Annual Profections Guide is currently available for $8.88 through October 8th in honor of my birthday.After that, it will remain inside the Rooted & Rising Living Library at $18.88.Use it for the year you're in now, revisit it throughout the year, and come back again as each birthday activates a new house and Time Lord.EXPLORE YOUR YEAR HERE WORK WITH ME 1:1I've opened a limited number of private sessions for October.If something in this episode brought up a deeper thread around money, receiving, self-worth, support, relationships, visibility, intuition, or a pattern you're ready to explore at the root, you can book a private session here:BOOK A 1:1 SESSION HERE LIVE LISTENER EXPLORATIONSI'm also beginning a new podcast series where I'll invite listeners into a live mini exploration around themes like money, support, visibility, self-worth, boundaries, pricing, success, being seen and receiving.These are not traditional interviews or full private sessions.We'll follow the thread underneath the contraction, explore what the body is holding, and work with the subconscious pattern underneath it.If you want to be considered for one of these live podcast explorations, make sure you're on my email list.JOIN THE EMAIL LIST HERE + FREE RESOURCES:https://www.jessicameils.com/freebiesCONNECTWebsite:https://www.jessicameils.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/peoplecallmejessPodcast:Jessica Meils the PodcastRoot deeply.Rise authentically.Trust yourself along the way.

Send us Fan MailIf a student can get a perfectly tailored lesson from AI in seconds, what exactly is the teacher's job, and what does school become? That question sits underneath every new adaptive platform, every AI policy debate, and every parent's uneasy feeling that “personalized” might also mean “alone.”We talk with Tom Woelper, Head of School at Cheshire Academy, about what's genuinely promising in adaptive learning technology and where schools can go too far. We dig into why pairing teachers with AI can beat either one alone, how personalization can free up time for projects and real-world skill building, and why the best outcomes start with a simple habit: decide the learning goal first, then pick the tool (sometimes the best tool is still pencil and paper). Along the way, we unpack the real risk of cognitive offloading, when students stop thinking hard because the machine is always ready to think for them.From academic integrity to smarter assessment, Tom shares a practical “traffic light” framework for AI use: red light (no AI), yellow light (limited AI), and green light (AI allowed with clarity and attribution). We also zoom out to the parts of learning AI can't replicate, including teacher-student relationships, belonging, and the subtle cues teachers read in a room. And we make the case that libraries and librarians matter more than ever as guides for source quality, bias, and information literacy in an age of instant answers.If you care about AI in education, student engagement, and the future of teaching, you'll leave with concrete strategies and a clearer north star: keep human connection at the center.

He's a teenager now and you said he still wakes up smiling. What did you do differently, and can parents start this with older kids too?You didn't grow up in a home where love was spoken or shown, and you write that you were in your late twenties before you grasped that God loved you. How does that shape the way you parent your own son?Your book identifies psychological barriers for each fruit of the Spirit. If you had to pick the one barrier that affects most parents on a daily basis, which would it be and why?You have a devotional called 'Curb Anger Before It Transforms You.'

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when you know something in your life is changing—but you don't know exactly what comes next?For high-functioning women who are accustomed to planning, solving problems, making decisions, and figuring things out, uncertainty can feel like failure. But what if you're not lost?What if you're simply in between?In this episode of The Healing Poetic Podcast, I'm talking about those seasons when the old no longer completely fits, but the new hasn't fully revealed itself yet.Maybe you're questioning your career. Your relationships. Where you live. How you do business. Who gets access to you. The pace of your life. Or maybe you can't even name what's changing—you just know you can't continue doing everything exactly the way you've always done it.And you don't need to have the entire plan today.Sometimes clarity doesn't arrive as one big revelation. Sometimes it develops slowly through repeated thoughts, desires, discomfort, intuition, journaling, observation, and finally having enough quiet to hear yourself.We're talking about the difference between uncertainty and being lost, intuition and urgency, planning and control—and why self-trust doesn't mean believing you'll never make another wrong decision.Self-trust is knowing that whatever happens, you trust yourself to meet yourself there.Grab your journal for this one, because I'm asking you one of the most important questions we can ask during a season of transition:What do I already know—even if I don't know what I'm going to do about it yet?You don't need the whole plan.Maybe you just need the next honest step.

In this episode, Cindy Esliger challenges the belief that career success comes from being completely self-reliant. Working hard, figuring things out alone, and proving your competence may serve you well early in your career, but that same independence can eventually become a limitation. Cindy explains why career success is never a solo pursuit and why asking for help isn't a weakness but a leadership skill. The people who advance learn how to multiply their thinking through collaboration, build relationships with people invested in their success, and become more strategic about where they spend their time and energy.As careers progress, hard work reaches a limit on its return on investment. Cindy explores the shift from being rewarded for individual output to being valued for influence, visibility, relationships, and the ability to get work done through other people. She also shares her experience of finally earning a seat at the table in a male-dominated industry, only to discover that being invited into the room did not guarantee her perspective would be heard or valued. Understanding organizational dynamics, knowing where influence actually sits, and building support before important decisions are made are all part of learning to play the game without losing integrity.Cindy offers four places to start changing our experience at work: 1. It's more than just optics; 2. We're not broken; the barriers are structural, not personal; 3. Take up space, and 4. Upgrade the stories we tell ourselves and each other. Confidence is an inside job, but nobody has to build a successful career entirely alone. By creating networks, finding mentors and advocates, making capabilities visible, and learning the rules of the game, it becomes possible to stop simply working harder and start moving forward more strategically.Key Moments:00:00 Stop Doing Everything on Our Own01:35 Why Career Success Is Not a Solo Pursuit04:24 When Hard Work Reaches Its Limit05:48 The Career Shift Nobody Warns Us About07:06 Building a Strategic Career Plan07:06 Learning to Play the Political Game08:29 Getting a Seat at the Table11:09 When Being in the Room Is Not Enough13:56 Women Do Not Need Fixing16:44 Building Networks, Mentors, and Advocates18:10 Confidence Is an Inside Job19:33 Four Places to Start23:53 Stop Trying to Do It Entirely Alone Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Getting Out of Your Own WayAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

How do you build opportunities in your practice before you know whether showing up will actually pay off? Dr. Lona and Dr. Andrew explore why some of the most valuable practice growth happens when you keep showing up in service before the outcome is obvious. From community outreach and building professional relationships to developing certainty and learning how to communicate chiropractic simply, they look at what happens when you stop measuring every effort by its immediate return. The work that feels unproductive today may be building trust, skill, relationships, and opportunities you cannot see yet. Consistently showing up with something useful to offer gives both you and your practice the chance to grow into opportunities that rarely appear overnight.Key Highlights01:25 – What younger chiropractors may miss when they look at someone further down the road and only see the finished result.04:21 – The less glamorous beginning behind an opportunity that eventually led to working with some of the world's top CrossFit athletes.07:09 – A simple reminder about why the place you start rarely looks like the place you ultimately want to end up.09:00 – Learning to show up before you feel ready and recognizing that same quality in the people around you.10:24 – Why continuing to serve in the schools mattered even when staying at the practice would have felt far more productive.12:00 – The connection between being of service and the opportunities that begin to appear when that remains the reason you show up.13:27 – Where certainty starts to develop when a young chiropractor is still wondering whether their own chiropractic actually works.15:26 – How community involvement can build familiarity and trust before anyone ever decides to become your patient.18:20 – An unexpected lesson from explaining chiropractic to four- and five-year-olds that changed the way one doctor communicates with adults.Resources MentionedLearn more about the TRP Remarkable Practice Immersion - Nov 13 - 14, 2026 in Adelaide, AUS - https://theremarkablepractice.com/upcoming-events/   To schedule a Strategy Session with Dr Lona: https://go.oncehub.com/DrLonaBuildPodcastTo schedule a Strategy Session with Dr Bobby: https://go.oncehub.com/DrBobbyBuildPodcastLearn more about the Remarkable CEO Podcast: https://theremarkablepractice.com/podcast

Dora used to worry about what people might think if they saw her doing something alone. Then came solo movie dates, time spent with herself, and eventually a trip to Mallorca. Somewhere along the way, being alone stopped feeling like something to explain. What if solitude isn't evidence that something is missing, but a chance to discover what's already there?

What if the secret to loving motherhood isn't enjoying every minute, but recognizing the small, golden moments that make motherhood feel magical? Rachel Nielson, host of 3 in 30 Takeaways for Moms Podcast, founder of Flecks of Gold Journal, and special sponsor of this Conference, wants moms to start looking for the tiny flecks of gold tucked into their days with their kids instead of waiting for the huge nuggets of joy.   This is a practice that saved Rachel's young motherhood when her expectations of cotton candy and angel babies met the cold hard reality of colicky newborns and fiery toddlers. Learning to locate the small, golden moments shifted the story Rachel was telling herself about her children and her parenting, and it's continued to support Rachel (and so many other moms) as her kids have grown, alongside their struggles.  With practical tips and simple mindset shifts, Rachel encourages every mom to stop trying to "enjoy every minute," and to instead focus on a single moment that documents daily why you love motherhood as much as you love your kids. FREEBIE for all: Find Your Magic in Motherhood Mini Course A 5-Day mini-course to help you find your magic in motherhood. BONUS raffled off to one participant: One Free Flecks of Gold Journal! Get 15% your Flecks of Gold Journal with the code MORE.   Rachel Nielson is a motherhood educator, podcaster, and mom of two. As a former high school English teacher, she has a gift for making complex ideas clear and actionable—a skill that shows up in everything she creates. Rachel's own path into motherhood came through adoption and IVF, and she expected to love every minute of it. Instead, she found herself lost in postpartum depression, wondering why loving her kids and loving her motherhood felt like two entirely different things. So she started the 3 in 30 Takeaways for Moms podcast, where she's since interviewed more than 350 parenting and self-development experts, searching for the core principles behind a motherhood that actually feels good to live. What she learned along the way became the Self-Assured Motherhood Framework, the foundation for her live program, and the Flecks of Gold Journal for Moms. Everything Rachel creates is designed to help women find joy in their own unique motherhood, not the one they think they're supposed to have.

Nate Johnson grew up in Michigan, turned to the streets at a young age, and cycled in and out of juvenile detention and jail before a drug and robbery case sent him to Michigan state prison for 12 and a half years. But somewhere inside those walls, everything changed. He found his purpose, committed himself to rebuilding his life, and walked out determined to help others do the same. Today, Nate has built Michigan's largest reentry organization, co-founded the state's first reentry conference and a national reentry convening, and is now developing a "Reentry Ecosystem" aimed at changing how America approaches life after prison. _____________________________________________ Become an EXCLUSIVE Locked In: After Hours Member & receive a FREE merch box: https://lockedin.supportingcast.fm/ _____________________________________________ Connect with Nate Johnson: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nate-johnson-ncs Website: https://www.nextchapterssolutions.com/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 A shooting on the street 00:26 Introducing Nate Johnson 00:54 Free merch and bonus content 01:44 Growing up in Muskegon 02:19 Dysfunctional family life 05:40 Trouble begins in fifth grade 08:41 Selling weed and stealing bikes 12:52 The crack trade and double-ups 20:24 Police raids and the setup 27:05 Arrest and false evidence 30:27 Returning home and family struggles 32:20 Connecting with dad over crack 34:11 Gang violence and losing Ted 37:27 Seeking revenge 38:30 Learning the drug trade 41:41 Armed robbery and prison sentence 45:27 The robbery detail and trial 47:50 Sentenced and to prison 49:26 First years inside 51:26 Reduced sentence and faith 56:17 Dad's warning and spiritual awakening 01:00:23 Transformation and purpose 01:04:50 Coming home and fresh start 01:06:53 Launching Re-entry United 01:09:40 Inside conferences and expansion 01:12:17 Next Chapter Solutions and tech 01:16:53 Housing and entrepreneurship 01:21:12 Impact and thankfulness 01:22:15 Navigating change in prison 01:25:52 Respect and authenticity 01:28:10 Fatherhood and affirmation 01:33:08 Parents' passing 01:37:52 Family and kids' names 01:46:48 Teaching life lessons to sons 01:49:47 Final thoughts and thanks _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids Podcast, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender explore why knowing the right answer on a test is not the same as being ready to use that knowledge in real life. Using driver's education as an example, they discuss how experience, practice, character, and different learning strengths all contribute to genuine competence. Parents will be encouraged to look beyond conventional measures of success and teach their children in ways that help them become capable and confident in the situations they will actually face.
