    Robert Horry and the crew kick off Shoot Around episode 124 with jokes and impressions before jumping into a pop quiz: the only NBA player to win a scoring title, rebounding title, blocks title, Rookie of the Year, MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, an NBA championship, and an Olympic gold medal—revealed to be David Robinson. The conversation shifts to Spurs talk, with Horry pushing back on claims that he hates San Antonio, explaining his take on why he doesn’t have Wemby as his MVP and naming his MVP as “Brown,” while still praising the Spurs, Pop, and the 2005 championship team.   They discuss the Chicago Bears potentially moving about 25 miles south to Hammond, Indiana, while likely keeping the “Chicago Bears” name, comparing it to New York teams playing in New Jersey and noting Indiana’s willingness to fund a new stadium. The group also talks about which franchises should never move, highlighting the St. Louis Cardinals and San Diego Padres, and briefly noting the Braves’ move within the Atlanta area. In NBA rules talk, they react to Paul Pierce’s idea of an LED three-point line that turns on and off during games, calling it too gimmicky and better suited to celebrity or All-Star-style events.   The episode also covers UFL rule changes, including a four-point field goal for kicks over 60 yards and banning punts once a team crosses midfield, with the hosts debating whether the NFL might adopt similar ideas and joking about how it would affect Super Bowl squares. Off the court, they break down MLB Players Association executive director Tony Clark resigning after an internal investigation revealed an improper relationship with his sister-in-law, and they react to Mad Dog Russo’s defense while debating how personal life should intersect with employment consequences. They wrap with viral oddities and childhood stories: a 92-year-old woman with Alzheimer’s climbing a seven-foot nursing home gate in 24 seconds, a 12-year-old in North Carolina driving himself to school with a fictitious plate after missing the bus, and the hosts sharing the dumbest things they did as kids—stealing church money for cookies, kicking a hole through a bedroom door, and a messy food fight that led to “double dip” punishments.   00:00 Friday Cold Open 01:25 Wild Twitter Grab Bag 01:40 NBA Trivia Stumper 03:22 Spurs Fans Clapback 05:38 Bears Moving to Indiana 07:17 Teams That Shouldn’t Move 08:43 LED Three Point Line 10:01 UFL Rule Experiments 12:14 Tony Clark Scandal 15:21 92 Year Old Gate Escape 17:11 Kid Drives To School 19:11 Cookie Money Confession 20:42 Foot Through The Door 22:29 Epic Food Fight Fallout 23:46 Double Dip Whoopings

    Your skin is not just a cosmetic surface. It's a living organ that responds to signals, and the right light signal can flip your biology into repair mode. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR -Get a discount from LYMA by using code ‘DAVE10' at: https://lyma.life/ In this episode, Host Dave Asprey goes to London to meet Lucy Goff, founder of LYMA, at the LYMA headquarters. Lucy and her scientific team engineered a rare kind of at-home cold laser that delivers precise 808nm light with deep penetration, without burning, cutting, or “damaging to rebuild.” Their work is backed by published research in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal, and they've tested gene expression in human dermis, including a reported sixfold increase in SIRT1, a major longevity pathway. This is why you can trust this conversation. It's not vibes, it's engineering, biology, and data. Most “red light” products are basically glorified LEDs. They can be fine for the surface, but they do not deliver the kind of coherent, polarized, monochromatic light that your cells actually respond to in deep tissue. That matters because your mitochondria run the whole show. When mitochondria get a clean signal and more usable energy, your body suddenly has budget for repair, collagen, circulation, and recovery. That is the real mechanism behind anti-aging that does not rely on controlled injury. We get into how this kind of light hacking can change skin quality, muscle support under the skin, and even scars and fascia. We talk cartilage, knees, jowls, pigmentation, and the weird reality that you might not feel anything while it's working. Dave also shares his early biohacking experiments using light for brain optimization, including the time he overdid it and temporarily scrambled his speech. That story will make you respect the power of light as a biological tool. We also talk human performance and travel. Dave breaks down how he uses light management for sleep optimization and jet lag, and why controlling light is as important as controlling food, fasting, ketosis, and metabolism. There's also a practical angle here that most people miss: with AI, you can now take dense PubMed research and translate it into usable decisions without needing a PhD, which changes how fast you can learn, test, and personalize. If you care about longevity, neuroplasticity, recovery, and looking younger without trashing your tissue, this episode gives you a smarter way to think about lasers, supplements, nootropics, and the whole functional medicine stack. This is Smarter Not Harder biohacking, with a laser. You'll Learn: • Why LED “red light therapy” is not the same as laser-based mitochondrial activation • How coherent light influences mitochondria, collagen quality, and anti-aging repair • What gene expression changes like SIRT1 suggest about longevity signaling • How light may support brain optimization, circulation, and neuroplasticity • Why scars and fascia can disrupt performance, and how light can support remodeling • How Dave uses light and lifestyle hacking for sleep optimization, travel, and metabolism • How AI makes research-driven biohacking more accessible and more personal Thank you to our sponsors! • • • • Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade brings you the knowledge to take control of your biology, extend your longevity, and optimize every system in your body and mind. Each episode delivers cutting-edge insights in health, performance, neuroscience, supplements, nutrition, biohacking, emotional intelligence, and conscious living. New episodes are released every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday (BONUS). Dave asks the questions no one else will and gives you real tools to become stronger, smarter, and more resilient.

    Welcome to Day 2804 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2804 – The Devil Never Made Him Do It – Luke 4:1-13 Putnam Church Message – 01/18/2026 Luke's Account of the Good News - “The Devil Never Made Him Do It.”    Last week investigated a prophet who was unmatched in all history, the forerunner of Jesus Christ, in a message titled “The Greatest Mortal Who Ever Died.” Today, we begin our study through the ministry of Jesus Christ in a message titled: “The Devil Never Made Him Do It.” Our Core verses for this week are Luke 4:1-13, found on page 1595 of your Pew Bibles. Follow along as I read. OPENING PRAYER Holy Father, we gather today in the name of Jesus, our victorious Savior. As we open Your Word, teach us to recognize temptation, to discern the lies of the enemy, and to cling to the truth that sets us free. Strengthen our hearts by Your Spirit, steady our minds by Your Scriptures, and shape our lives to reflect the obedience of Christ in the wilderness. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, now and forever. Amen. Today, we come to a moment in Luke's Gospel that occurs quietly, without crowds, without choirs of angels, without disciples watching in awe. There are no miracles, no sermons, no parables, and no healings. Instead, there is silence, sand, hunger, and a solitary battle in the wilderness. It is here that Jesus faces the enemy of our souls in a way no other human ever has — and He triumphs. And He does so not by leaning on His divine authority, but by walking in obedience as a human filled with and yielded to the Holy Spirit. Our preaching text this morning comes from Luke 4:1–13 (NLT). Luke writes: “Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River. He was led by the Spirit in the wilderness, where he was tempted by the devil for forty days. Jesus ate nothing all that time and became very hungry.” (Luke 4:1–2) Luke wants us to see something right away: Jesus did not accidentally wander into temptation. He did not stumble into a spiritual ambush. He was led there. Led by whom? Led by the Spirit. And with that, Luke invites us into one of Scripture's most profound mysteries: God can lead His children into places of testing for the purpose of strengthening, purifying, and proving them. This is not new. Israel experienced the same. Moses reminded the people in Deuteronomy 8:2 (NLT): “Remember how the Lord your God led you through the wilderness for these forty years, humbling you and testing you…” Jesus is reliving the story of Israel — but where Israel failed, Jesus prevails.     Context: Between Baptism and Ministry Before we move further, we must notice the timing: Just before the wilderness comes the baptism. Just before the temptation comes the affirmation. Just before the war comes, the voice from heaven. In Luke 3, the heavens opened, the Spirit descended like a dove, and the Father declared: “You are my dearly loved Son, and you bring me great joy.” (3:22) Immediately after that, Jesus is taken to the desert. This pattern is familiar to anyone who has walked with God: Mountaintops are...

    What if one of the biggest drivers of your productivity wasn't your calendar, your habits, or your willpower but the light around you?  In this episode of Productivity Smarts, host Gerald J. Leonard sits down with Dr. Martin Moore-Ede, a world-leading expert in circadian biology and founder of the Circadian Light Research Center. Dr. Moore-Ede, known as "The Light Doctor," reveals a hidden productivity lever most of us overlook entirely: the light around us. We live in a world of artificial light, but not all light is created equal. Dr. Moore-Ede explains how modern LED and fluorescent lighting disrupt our internal biological clocks, leading to poor sleep, foggy thinking, weakened immune systems, and even long-term health risks. What begins as a conversation about light evolves into a fundamental discussion on human biology, explaining how the blue spectrum in everyday bulbs tells our brain it is daytime, halting vital repair processes, suppressing cancer-fighting melatonin, and throwing our entire system out of sync. Gerald and Dr. Moore-Ede explore practical, science-backed strategies to harness light for peak performance. Learn the four key pillars of a "healthy light diet," why morning outdoor time is non-negotiable, and how to choose evening lighting that will not sabotage your sleep. Discover how companies worldwide are using these principles to boost workforce productivity by over 30 percent, reduce errors, and improve safety. This episode shows how to work with your biology rather than against it. If you want to sharpen your focus, enhance your energy, sleep deeply, and unlock a new level of sustainable productivity, it starts with the light you see.   What We Discuss [00:00] Podcast introduction [01:17] Kiva non-profit spotlight [02:01] Guest introduction: Dr. Martin Moore-Ede [03:14] Personal interests: music preferences [04:37] Immediate productivity gains from healthy lighting [05:51] Dr. Moore-Ede's background and circadian research [07:05] Discovery of the brain's circadian clock [08:06] Modern lighting and health disruption [09:39] How circadian rhythms work [11:31] Health risks of nighttime light exposure [12:49] Choosing healthy lighting at home [14:00] How eyes detect light: rods, cones, and non-visual receptors [15:41] Daytime light exposure and longevity [17:08] Light's impact on productivity and sleep [18:36] Aging, well-being, and productivity [20:16] Types of light and their effects [22:58] Four key principles for healthy circadian practice [24:21] Practical home lighting adjustments [25:01] Lighting for focus and brainstorming [26:00] Lighting, stress, and 24/7 work culture [28:18] Workplace design innovations [31:03] Where to learn more: Dr. Moore-Ede's resources [32:30] Podcast wrap-up and closing remarks   Notable Quotes [04:49] These days people are inside, they're on their devices, and we are under lights that are actually rather unhealthy." – Dr. Martin Moore-Ede [05:07] "Light is not just for vision.

The bill targets rifles, shotguns, and pistols with specific features like pistol grips or folding stocks. It passed the House Public Safety Committee on a party-line vote. Justice Alito Rumored Retirement Impact on Second Amendment (Bearing Arms Analysis) (Savage) The article discusses rumors of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito retiring in 2026, potentially allowing President Trump to appoint a replacement and solidify a pro-Second Amendment majority. It highlights Alito's key opinions in cases like Bruen and Rahimi, emphasizing his role in advancing gun rights. A retirement would shift the Court's balance amid ongoing challenges to gun laws. Mexico's Strict Gun Laws Highlighted After Cartel Response to Leader's Killing (Savage) Following the killing of a cartel leader, Mexican cartels responded by distributing firearms to civilians, underscoring the ineffectiveness of Mexico's stringent gun control laws. The article details how only permitted citizens can legally purchase firearms from a single government store in Mexico City, with severe restrictions on calibers and quantities. This incident reveals the stark contrast between legal acquisition barriers and the armed capabilities of criminal organizations. West Virginia HB 5596: GOA-Backed Legislation to Restore Lawful Machine Gun Transfers (Savage) Gun Owners of America (GOA) supports West Virginia House Bill 5596, which aims to nullify federal restrictions on machine gun transfers under the National Firearms Act (NFA). The bill would authorize state law enforcement to process and approve lawful NFA transfers, including machine guns, suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and short-barreled shotguns. It seeks to restore Second Amendment rights impaired by federal overreach. CPRC Study on Transgender Representation in Active Shooting Attacks (United States) (Savage) A study by the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) analyzed 1,022 active shooting attackers from 1958 to October 2024, finding that 0.11% identified as transgender, compared to 0.29% in the U.S. general population per CDC data. Among 173 attackers with known mental health histories, one was transgender. The study highlights underrepresentation of transgender individuals in these attacks relative to their population share. New Mexico House Bill 136 Fails in Committee, Blocking Proposed Gun Ban (Savage) New Mexico House Bill 136, which sought to ban commonly owned semiautomatic firearms, was defeated in the House Judiciary Committee on a 6-5 vote. Anti-gun advocates expressed frustration over the bill's failure despite Democratic majorities in the state legislature. The legislation targeted AR-15 style rifles and similar semiautomatics, drawing opposition from gun rights supporters. REVIEWS Review: Brassguy Jarhead 1 Star. Im glad WLS has turned into minimum of 30 min of advertising. This isnt Unleashed. Get your shit right. PS. Jeremy is a cunt. Review: JackB 5 Squares! We Like Shooting reminds me of the best carp recipe ever created. Aaron is the giant Asian carp that jumped into your boat as you were cruising down the river. He just kinda crashes the party and breaks shit, but it's funny so you roll with it. Jerambe is the filet knife you use to carefully make 2 slits along either side of the carp's spine. No need to gut or scale the carp because it's better if it's alive Nick is the manure you roll into 1″ diameter balls and carefully place into the slits you carved. He's kind of unorthodox, but when he starts talking you wanna see where it goes. Shawn is the oven you set to 171 degrees and place the food in for 3.5 – 4 hours. He provides the structure and energy for all the magic to happen. And finally, Savage1r is the trash can that you throw the carp in after scooping out the filling. Because the balls shit will be the best tasting part of any carp recipe. Before we let you go – JOIN GUN OWNERS OF AMERICA We'd love if you supported the show, join Agency 171 at agency171.com.

    Should Christians still tithe? And why do people lose their minds when a pastor wears a nice watch?In this episode, PF, Kenneth, and Esther tackle one of the most divisive topics in church culture — money, tithing, and what pastors actually deserve to earn.PF gets vulnerable about his own lifestyle, reveals he works 80 hours a week on 5 hours of sleep, and explains why he'll never apologize for owning a Rolex. The conversation digs into the theology behind tithing — Old Covenant law versus New Covenant freewill giving — and why so many Christians are confused about what the Bible actually teaches on the subject.PF breaks down why tithing was originally about food (not money), why Malachi 3:10 is the most misquoted verse in church, and what giving should actually look like for believers today.But this isn't just theology. The crew gets real about church operations — from a $50,000 emergency HVAC replacement to why pastors are among the most underpaid professionals in America. PF shares why pastoral suicide rates are alarming, and makes the case that the laborer is worthy of his wages.In this episode:• Why tithing as we know it isn't actually a New Testament command• PF's honest take on pastor compensation and lifestyle scrutiny• The $50K HVAC story: what it really costs to run a church• "Serving God is not a sentence of poverty" — why PF won't apologize• Old Covenant vs. New Covenant: what the Bible actually says about giving• Why pastors are underpaid, underloved, and burning outTIMESTAMPS00:00 - Cold Open: The Pastor's Tattoo Controversy02:00 - Introduction: Kenneth, Esther & PF04:00 - Should Christians Judge Their Pastors?07:00 - "Teachers Will Be Judged More Strictly" — James 3:110:00 - The Tithing Question: Old Covenant vs. New Covenant14:00 - Malachi 3:10: The Most Misquoted Verse in Church?18:00 - Tithing Was About Food, Not Money22:00 - New Testament Giving: Freewill, Not Mandatory26:00 - Why Do People Get Mad at What Pastors Own?30:00 - PF's Rolex: "I Work 80 Hours a Week on 5 Hours of Sleep"34:00 - "Serving God Is Not a Sentence of Poverty"37:00 - The $50,000 HVAC Story: What Running a Church Actually Costs40:00 - Why Pastors Commit Suicide: Underpaid and Underloved44:00 - The Laborer Is Worthy of His Wages47:00 - Prosperity Gospel vs. Honest Compensation50:00 - How Should Christians Give Today?53:00 - Closing Thoughts: Give Cheerfully, Not Under Compulsion

    Study Identifies Aging-Associated Mitochondrial Circular RNAs

    BUFFALO, NY — February 24, 2026 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 18 of Aging-US on February 10, 2026, titled “Aging-associated mitochondrial circular RNAs.” Led by first author Hyejin Mun from the University of Oklahoma — with corresponding authors Je-Hyun Yoon from the University of Oklahoma and Young-Kook Kim from Chonnam National University Medical School — the study profiles mitochondrial circular RNAs in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) from young and old human cohorts and probes how mitochondrial circRNAs and the mitochondrial RNA-binding protein GRSF1 relate to mitochondrial metabolism and cellular senescence. Using total RNA sequencing of PBMCs from young and old donors and complementary cell-based experiments, the authors report that a large fraction of circular RNA junctions originates from the mitochondrial genome, with MT-RNR2 producing the most abundant circular junctions. They show that circMT-RNR2 levels are depleted in older cohorts and in replicative senescence of human fibroblasts, and that the mitochondria-localized RNA-binding protein GRSF1 interacts with both linear and circular MT-RNR2. Loss of GRSF1 reduced circMT-RNR2 levels, decreased mitochondrial TCA intermediates (fumarate and succinate), and accelerated cellular senescence and mitochondrial dysfunction — findings that link mitochondrial circRNAs to mitochondrial energetics and proliferative status in younger cells. “Taken together, our findings demonstrate the existence and possible function of circular MT-RNR2 during human aging and senescence, implicating its role in promoting the TCA cycle.” The authors note key limitations and outline next steps: clarifying the biogenesis mechanism of mitochondrial circular RNAs (including whether trans-splicing contributes), mapping direct interactions between mitochondrial transcripts and metabolic enzymes, and performing mechanistic studies (in vivo and in additional human cohorts) to test how circMT-RNR2 and GRSF1 influence mitochondrial energetics and organismal aging. These follow-ups will determine whether mitochondrial circular RNAs are actionable targets for modulating mitochondrial metabolism or delaying aspects of cellular aging.

    Part 2: The Blueprint for a High-Performance Grow RoomWelcome to Part 2 of our conversation with Nadia Sabeh, PhD, PE, aka Dr. Greenhouse.In The Blueprint for a High-Performance Grow Room, Mark Doherty picks up where Part 1 : Lights vs. HVAC: The Invisible War Happening Inside Your Canopy left off, focusing on what it truly takes to design a sustainable, high-performance cultivation facility in today's evolving market.They explore why cannabis still lacks a replicable “gold standard” grow room, how over-engineering can quietly drain budgets, and why long-term success depends more on managing costs than chasing higher yields. The conversation introduces a “less is more” economic strategy—arguing that survival in a maturing market depends on reducing costs and optimizing energy use, not just pushing for higher yields or 30%+ THC results. They also dive into designing within real-world constraints—retrofitted spaces, non-standard warehouses—and the importance of integrating lighting, HVAC, irrigation, and controls into one cohesive system rather than isolated parts.This episode is a practical reality check: high-performance grow rooms aren't built on hype or “magic” solutions—but on data, integration, and intentional design.About Nadia Sabeh, aka Dr. GreenhouseDr. Nadia Sabeh works with indoor and greenhouse growers to create the best possible environment for their crop. In 2017, she founded Dr. Greenhouse, Inc., an engineering firm that specializes in the design and operation of HVAC systems that maximize yield and quality, while minimizing costs. She and her team have worked on over 200 controlled environment agriculture (CEA) projects around the world. Her blog and podcast, "The Doctor Is In,” is geared toward growers who seek to advance their knowledge in CEA, climate management, and CEA crop production. She speaks regularly at conferences and events and has authored or interviewed for over 50 articles. Dr. Sabeh discovered CEA as an undergraduate working on a commercial mushroom farm, has a PhD in Agricultural Engineering, and is a licensed Mechanical Engineer in several states.If you'd like to learn more about Dr. Greenhouse, visit them at: www.DoctorGreenhouse.com.About Mark Doherty, Doherty AgMark Doherty is the Vice President of Construction and Facilities Management for Grown Rogue, bringing over 15 years of experience in controlled environment agriculture and commercial cannabis cultivation.

En mis viajes siempre me anima saber que puedo descubrir lugares increíbles para darme un chapuzón refrescante. ¿Quieres saber cuáles son las piscinas más bonitas del mundo?En Suiza hay un hotel cuya piscina aclimatada está al aire libre, rodeada de un inmenso paredón de picos nevados. Te quita el aliento, y no por el frío.En el Tíbet (prepárate!), en la ciudad de Lasa (a 3.657 metros de altura) hay un salón de baño con los azulejos revestidos de oro. Ese baño dorado es digno de la nobleza.Y en Swala, Tanzania, es posible nadar con la escenografía de la sabana africana. La diferencia es que todo es de verdad, incluso las jirafas que pasean las cebras que desfilan por ahí.Hay un hotel en Bali, Indonesia, que posee una piscina increíble cuyo borde. infinito se pierde en la selva de un valle cortado por ríos. Un enigmático clima tropical flota en el aire húmedo.En Tailandia hay una piscina que parece que salió de la primera plaga de Egipto. Es rojísima, pero no de sangre, sino de increíbles ladrillos rojizos. Algo muy diferente a lo que hayas visto alguna vez.¿Y en las Maldivas? Abre bien los ojos, porque de noche verás una piscina de lujo que está revestida con más de mil luces LED fluorescentes. Literalmente, tienes la sensación de estar nadando en las estrellas.Debo decir, sin embargo, que ninguna de estas piscinas paradisíacas se compara con el estanque de Siloé. Un mendigo ciego de nacimiento que se lavó los ojos en esas aguas ordinarias provocó todo un revuelo en Jerusalén. El hombre se refregó los ojos y vio su rostro reflejado en el agua por primera vez. Sus gritos se escucharon desde lejos, y eso enojó tanto a los fariseos que encontraron la manera de expulsar al exciego de la sociedad. Pero él se volvió a encontrar con Jesús al final del día y vio por primera vez al hombre-Dios más extraordinario del universo.¡Claro! Ni el oro ni las luces LED son capaces de convertir una piscina cualquiera en un recipiente del poder milagroso de Dios. Solo Cristo pudo y podrá hacer eso en tu vida. Jesús murió en una cruz para darnos vida eterna. Y eso no se compara a ninguna piscina digna de tarjeta postal que pueda haber en este mundo.¿Ya oraste para pedirle al Señor que haga un milagro en tu vida hoy? Él convertirá un estanque común en una piscina infinita. Y nadar solo será un detalle menor en medio de tanta bendición. ¿Estás preparado?

Led by Lee and Jaclyn Arnold, we teach God's Word with clarity and conviction, calling people to authentic faith that endures beyond the crisis.Today's Message:“When Repentance Doesn't Last”Jeremiah 34:1–22In Jeremiah 34, Judah responds to crisis with promises—but when the pressure passes, obedience disappears. God makes it clear that temporary repentance and public vows mean nothing without wholehearted surrender.This message challenges performative faith and asks a searching question:Is our obedience situational—or truly surrendered?Key Takeaways:• God desires lasting faithfulness, not temporary obedience• True repentance is a direction, not a moment• You cannot claim God's blessing while resisting His authority• Jesus kept the covenant we could notToday's Reminder:God is not mocked, but He is merciful. Because Jesus bore the weight of our broken promises, we are free to walk in real forgiveness and lasting obedience.Choose faithfulness that lasts.Stay Connected:• Sunday Sermons – Live on Zoom & Facebook• Wednesday Bible Study – Interactive & in-depth• Daily Dose of Boldness – Daily encouragement from God's WordBe Bold for Jesus Conference 2026

    Moana & the Tribe have long been acknowledged for pushing the boundaries of Māori music.

They're bringing their global collaboration ‘ONO' to Tāmaki Makaurau as part of the Auckland Arts Festival, and to mark International Women's Day. But this performance is a little bigger than their usual band, Maniapoto telling Jack Tame that she got a bit carried away.

    From Success to Significance: Claus Geissendoerfer on Effective Giving and Purposeful LeadershipIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge speaks with Claus Geissendoerfer, the Director of Programme & Change Management at Amstadd, about the profound shift from professional achievement to personal significance. Claus, an ambassador for the effective altruism movement, shares how his background in high-level change management helped him navigate his own midlife transition toward a life rooted in impact and data-driven philanthropy. Their conversation serves as a masterclass for high-achieving entrepreneurs who find themselves questioning the deeper meaning of their success and are seeking a rigorous, evidence-based approach to contribution and global change.Navigating the Transition from Consumption to ContributionFor many successful business leaders, reaching the peak of professional achievement can unexpectedly lead to a sense of stagnation rather than satisfaction. Claus explains that the traditional "midlife crisis" is often a mislabeled search for meaning, where the antidote is not further consumption but a deliberate shift toward contribution. This evolution requires a willingness to experiment relentlessly with new roles—such as coaching, mentoring, or serving as a non-executive director—to discover where one's skills can solve the world's most pressing problems. By applying the same growth mindset that built their businesses to their personal evolution, leaders can transform restlessness into a renewed sense of mission that extends far beyond the boardroom.True fulfillment is found at the intersection of continuous personal growth and measurable service to others. Claus advocates for a life of "lifelong learning" as a defensive strategy against the decline that comes with professional plateauing. Whether it is mastering the complex physics of sailing to unplug from digital distractions or exploring new professional competencies, staying in a state of active growth keeps an entrepreneur vibrant and prepared for the next stage of their legacy. This proactive approach to self-development ensures that a leader's transition into significance is built on a foundation of refined wisdom and high-level capability rather than a reactive escape from their current reality.Effective philanthropy, much like successful business management, requires a commitment to data and rigorous analysis over mere sentiment. Claus highlights the effective altruism movement, specifically through organizations like Giving What We Can, which encourages individuals to pledge a portion of their income to evidence-based charities. By focusing on cost-effectiveness—such as distributing malaria nets where a few thousand dollars can statistically save a human life—donors can ensure their generosity achieves the highest possible return on impact. This approach allows entrepreneurs to treat their giving with the same strategic discipline as their investments, moving philanthropy from a random act of kindness to a powerful tool for global systemic change.About Claus GeissendoerferClaus Geissendoerfer is the Director: Programme & Change Management at Amstadd and a passionate advocate for effective altruism. With extensive experience in navigating complex organizational changes, he now leverages his expertise to help individuals and organizations transition from traditional success models to lives of purpose, significance, and high-impact giving.About AmstaddAmstadd is a consultancy focused on program and change management, helping organizations navigate complex transitions and operational shifts.

The circadian rhythm is a clock controlled by light and dark signals. In our modern-day environment, the days are too dim and the nights are too bright. During the day, sunlight is filtered through glass, preventing exposure to UV and infrared light, and at night, we're exposed to LED lights, TVs, phones, and tablets. We're dealing with a lack of contrast! Historically, humans were exposed to significantly more light during the day and minimal light at night. Modern lighting leads to melatonin suppression and affects your sleep and cortisol levels. Most people are not getting the restful sleep that they need. This affects the metabolism, insulin, blood sugar, and mood. Research has shown that bright nighttime light exposure can increase your risk of type 2 diabetes. Increasing sunlight exposure alone can improve your blood sugar, while evening bright light exposure can worsen it. Constant lighting is even considered psychologically harmful. Humans have evolved with significantly more light contrast, so we're dealing with an ancestral mismatch. To restore your circadian rhythm and combat the harmful effects of indoor lighting, try the following:1. Make your days aggressively brightEnsure adequate sun exposure before noon, and avoid wearing sunglasses. 2. Make the night genuinely dark Turn off overhead lighting, use soft night-lights, and dim screens 3 hours before bed.3. Restore contrast Focus on bright light during the day and remove light sources from your room at night. Replace light bulbs with incandescent lights if possible. Addressing the problems with modern light is one of the easiest ways to improve sleep naturally and restore your circadian rhythm.

Eleanor Stein, MD, is a medical doctor and psychiatrist with 36 years of personal and clinical experience in complex chronic illness. After experiencing significant improvement in her own health, she shifted her focus to sharing practical, science-based tools rooted in neuroplasticity, hormesis, mindset, and quantum biology. Together, they explain how red and infrared light from the sun directly support mitochondrial function and energy production. They discuss the research showing that red light exposure can increase carbon dioxide output, a marker of improved cellular metabolism, and why this matters for people with fatigue and metabolic dysfunction. They also clarify how light acts as a hormetic stressor, why small doses are beneficial, and how to apply sunlight exposure safely using a personalized Goldilocks dose. In this episode, you'll learn: How red and infrared light from the sun stimulate mitochondrial energy production Why increased carbon dioxide output reflects improved cellular metabolism How blue LED light can negatively impact metabolic function and blood sugar What hormesis means at the cellular level Why small, intermittent stressors activate repair pathways How oxidative stress can be beneficial when properly dosed How to find your personal Goldilocks dose for light exposure Why pacing is critical if you have post-exertional malaise How light, temperature, fasting, and breathwork fit into a broader hormetic framework Why discomfort in the right dose can support healing If you are interested in learning more about Eleanor Stein, MD, and her work, including her community membership "Live! with Dr. Stein", visit: https://www.eleanorsteinmd.ca/live .

    Step right up and behold Professor Bubbleton's Breathing Head, a curious apparatus to keep your audience on the edge of their seats. A submerged head rests under theatrical LED illumination sealed inside a clear apothecary jar — until a visitor dares to tap the vessel, at which point the head responds with a sudden stream of bubbles, as though its humours have not fully departed upon beheading. At the heart of this modern marvel is the Circuit Playground Express, whose onboard accelerometer and NeoPixel light ring make it perfectly suited for sideshow duty. A knock on the jar is detected directly by the board, triggering a timed burst from a hidden air pump while the built-in NeoPixels provide customizable lighting effects. The result is a self-contained illusion that feels uncanny and responsive, without requiring complex wiring or extra sensors. Full tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/professor-bubbleton-s-breathing-head-in-a-jar/overview In this guide, you'll assemble the apparatus using readily available parts, mount the Circuit Playground Express inside the jar, and configure our simple code to coordinate the tap detection, bubble effect, and lighting. Along the way, you'll learn how to turn a single gesture into a memorable interaction — the kind that invites onlookers to step closer, tap lightly, and immediately question whether they should have done so at all. No actual beheading is required for this guide. Our effigy was not harmed in any way.

    The Walk for Peace

    Peace, doesn't sell. We may click on kindness, but overall cash follows cruelty. If it bleeds, it leads. That famous practice (allegedly started by an editor of The Miami Herald in Miami, FL) for “real” media.Take away any guardrails media used to have in place (things like verifying content before publication, being mindful of impact of what they publish) and go to the cesspool of “citizen” journalism and there are no guardrails.So what happens if we just stop? Literally, stop. In October 2025 a group of monks set out, on foot, from Fort Worth, TX. Their message - peace. Their intention - to walk 2300 miles across the United States, ending up in Washington, DC. Their journey - the Walk for Peace - took them along the southern part of the US. They took a left in Georgia and headed up through the Carolinas and through Virginia to DC.Led by a 44-year-old former Motorola Engineer turned Buddhist Monk, the Venerable Bhikkhu Pannakara, nineteen monks made this journey. They spoke little and only when it mattered. In their silence, the message.Oh and they had a dog with them - Aloka the Peace Dog.I had the great privilege of seeing them twice when they were near and then in Richmond, VA. At the first gathering I set my phone to record and then put it away to pay attention. This week's episode is an only slightly edited version of what I heard. (I edited out addresses from local law enforcement.)So this week, a special edition of Talk Unleashed. Words of peace, and a perspective on your cell phone that will hopefully make you laugh. Even more hopefully make you think. And most of all, consider changing some behavior.It's also worth noting, they had arrived at a church for capacity of 400. More than 2000 people showed up, so rather than admit some folks and keep others out, we all stood outside, they set up a speaker and Pannakara came outside.Note just how quiet people are. How respectful. It. Is Possible.In a world where what passes for radical honesty usually means someone is just letting things fly outta their pie-hole without much care for others, it's time for radically authentic conversation. Conscious communication is simple, but often isn't easy. That's why Cathy Brooks created Talk, Unleashed – a weekly podcast of radically honest conversation about — everything. Whether her own musings or in conversation with industry leaders, each episode invites curiosity. Curiosity not about what people do, but why they do it. Who they are and what makes them tick. It's about digging underneath to reveal the thing that is most true - that we are more alike than we are not. A mix of solo episodes where Cathy shares her insights and experience or Cathy engaged in conversation with fascinating humans doing amazing things. No matter the format - it's unvarnished, radically honest and entirely unleashed. This podcast compliments Unleashed Leadership, the coaching business through which Cathy works with symphony orchestras, corporate clients, and individuals to help them unleash and untether their leadership and connect with others in a way that truly engages.#walkforpeace #venerablemonks #bhikkhupannakara #leadership #alokathepeacedog #dogbehavior #baddogbehavior #dogtraining #shiftingbehavior #brutalhonesty #radicalhonesty #consciouscommunication #leadership #Conversation #connection #TalkUnleashed #fiercecompassion #UnleashedConversation #UnleashedLeadership #FixYourEndofTheLeash

    Picture this: I'm live from Orlando, soaking up the chaos that is Design and Construction Week—yeah, the biggest design and building trade show on the planet! It's like Disneyland for DIYers, and I'm your tour guide on this wild ride. So, day one was an absolute whirlwind, where manufacturers big and small showcased their latest and greatest. Seriously, I walked 13 miles on the show floor, and I'm not exaggerating—my feet are still in shock. We kicked things off with LG, who apparently took ‘life is good' to a whole new level with their high-end appliances. I mean, did you ever think a dishwasher could look that good? With backlit LED panels and whisper-quiet operation, these babies are practically a work of art! Plus, they've got this built-in refrigerator that doesn't cost an arm and a leg—talk about a win! But wait, there's more! I ran into my buddies at Evolve Stone, who have this game-changing stone veneer that's so easy to install even your cat could probably manage it (not that I'd recommend letting your cat handle home improvements). We also checked out Kohler's booth, which was like stepping into a luxury spa—seriously, they had working showers and even a pond filled with lava rock. I half expected to see a celebrity sipping a fancy drink by the water. Not to mention Clopay's innovative garage doors that can switch from frosted to clear glass with the flick of a switch. I mean, who knew garage doors could be so... stylish? All in all, day one was packed with mind-blowing innovations that are going to shake up the home improvement world. Buckle up, folks—day two is just around the corner, and I can't wait to see what else this magical trade show has in store!Takeaways:Eric G gives us a whirlwind tour of the Design and Construction Week, highlighting the insane innovations in home improvement that are about to hit the market.From LED backlit dishwashers to zero clearance refrigerators, LG is making appliances that solve real kitchen problems without breaking the bank.Evolve Stone is a game changer for DIYers, offering a stone veneer that's ridiculously easy to install and looks fab without needing a masonry degree.Kohler is stepping up its game with stylish bidet toilet seats that blend luxury with a classic aesthetic—because who says you can't have class while being clean?Check out Clopay's new garage doors that magically change from frosted to clear glass—because who doesn't want their garage to look like a sci-fi movie set?Eric is pumped for Day 2 of the show, hinting at even more cool products and innovations that will make our homes smarter and more stylish than ever.Links referenced in this episode:aroundthehouseonline.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:LGSKSEvolve StoneKohlerClopayKichler

    Guest: Patrick K. O'Donnell. This segment introduces the "Jesse Scouts," a Union special forces unit formed by John Frémont and named after his wife. Led by figures like John Charles Carpenter, these men wore Confederate disguises to infiltrate enemy lines. Despite their effectiveness as commandos, their lack of discipline led to friction with the regular Army. Guest: Patrick K. O'Donnell. Richard Blazer leads the "Legion of Honor," a hunter-killer team using Jesse Scout tradecraft to fight Confederate partisans in West Virginia. Blazer employs detective work to track down the ruthless Thurman brothers, who attack Union supply lines in the rugged terrain of the Appalachians. Guest: Patrick K. O'Donnell. A failed Union raid on Richmond carrying orders to kill Jefferson Davis prompts the Confederacy to escalate irregular warfare and political influence operations. As the Confederate Secret Service aids the Copperhead movement, author Herman Melville embeds with Union cavalry to witness the hunt for the elusive John Mosby. Guest: Patrick K. O'Donnell. Confederate General Jubal Early threatens Washington, D.C., where Lincolnwitnesses the battle at Fort Stevens. Meanwhile, partisan leader John Mosby operates independently, capturing Union forces at Mount Zion Church. O'Donnell notes that better coordination between Early and Mosby could have endangered the capital. Guest: Patrick K. O'Donnell. Grant orders total war in the Shenandoah Valley to crush Mosby's Rangers. Although Richard Blazer's scouts initially have success with Spencer carbines, they are eventually lured into a trap and annihilated by Mosby's men at Kabletown, where Blazer is captured by Ranger Lewis Powell. Guest: Patrick K. O'Donnell. Lewis Powell, the Ranger who captured Blazer, is revealed to be a Confederate Secret Service operative working with John Wilkes Booth. Powell returns to Baltimore to aid in a plot to kidnap Lincoln, while Mosby deploys troops to secure a potential escape route for the conspirators. Guest: Patrick K. O'Donnell. Harry Harrison Young takes command of the Jesse Scouts, serving as Sheridan'sstrategic eyes in Confederate uniforms. These daring scouts deceive enemy forces and carry messages through enemy lines, enabling Sheridan to move his army effectively to join Grant and trap Lee. Guest: Patrick K. O'Donnell. Robert E. Lee rejects the option of guerrilla warfare at Appomattox, choosing surrender to preserve the nation. Years later, former partisan John Singleton Mosby becomes close friends with U.S. Grant and joins the Republican Party, earning the enmity of many Southerners but symbolizing reconciliation. Guest: Michael Vorenberg. At Appomattox, Grant offers generous terms allowing Confederates to keep horses and sidearms. However, Lincoln does not immediately declare the war over; in his final speech, he focuses on the complex path to peace and suffrage, viewing the surrender as a step rather than a conclusion. Guest: Michael Vorenberg. Following Lincoln's assassination, General Sherman negotiates a surrender with Confederate General Johnston at Bennett Place. Sherman attempts to secure a comprehensive peace including civil matters, but officials in Washington, seeking stricter retribution, reject the terms as too generous, forcing a second, purely military surrender. Guest: Michael Vorenberg. While the Grand Review celebrates victory in Washington, General Sheridan is sent to the Texas border with 50,000 troops to counter French imperial ambitions in Mexico and suppress remaining Confederate resistance. Meanwhile, Confederate General Kirby Smith flees to Mexico rather than surrender his western forces. Guest: Michael Vorenberg. The government utilizes military tribunals to try Lincoln's assassins and Andersonville commandant Henry Wirz, arguing the war is ongoing. Prosecutors hope to pressure Wirz into implicating Jefferson Davis in prisoner atrocities to justify hanging the Confederate president, but Wirz refuses and is executed alone. Guest: Michael Vorenberg. Vorenberg discusses Richard Henry Dana's "Grasp of War" speech, which argued the war could not end until the victor secured guarantees against future conflict. This philosophy, demanding the enemy be held down, contrasted sharply with Lincoln's "let 'em up easy" wrestling metaphor, fueling Congressional debates over reconstruction. Guest: Michael Vorenberg. Vorenberg explains how President Johnson's racism and desire for a hasty peace alienated Congress. Johnson vetoed the Civil Rights and Freedman's Bureau Acts, arguing the war was over. Republicans, however, insisted war powers remained necessary to protect freedmen, leading them to override Johnson and unite against him. Guest: Michael Vorenberg. To undercut radicals, Johnson followed Seward's advice to declare the insurrection ended by executive proclamation in 1866. Vorenberg notes this "official" peace ignored realities like the New Orleans massacre. Simultaneously, Senator Doolittle was misled by General Carlton regarding the mistreatment of the Navajo at Bosque Redondo during his peace commission tour. Guest: Michael Vorenberg. General Grant found himself caught between a hostile President Johnson and Secretary Stanton. Vorenberg describes the disastrous "swing around the circle" tour, where Johnson used Grant'spopularity as a shield while making embarrassing speeches. Witnessing Johnson's behavior, Grant ultimately sided with Stanton, realizing the President was unworthy of his loyalty.

    Architecture education is often romanticized as a pursuit of pure creativity, but in reality, it serves as a masterclass in grit. The studio environment, characterized by sleepless nights and public critiques, builds a specific kind of resilience necessary for navigating a risk-averse industry. While sectors like lighting have undergone rapid technological revolutions—moving from incandescent to LED in a decade—commercial construction moves at the speed of a massive vessel, slowed by liability concerns and ingrained methods. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. TimberTech – Real wood beauty without the upkeep This hesitation, however, is slowly giving way to data-driven sustainability. The industry has shifted from making purely economic arguments for energy efficiency to focusing on human health and wellness, a transition accelerated by the pandemic. Tools like the Healthy Materials Database now allow teams to bypass greenwashing, using empirical data to guide tradespeople who might otherwise resist new specifications. By framing material changes as collaborative problem-solving rather than top-down mandates, the industry can bridge the gap between high-concept design and practical application. Nowhere is this practical application more evident than in the “Net Zero Trailer” project. Born from a desire to improve job site dignity and efficiency, this ten-week experiment successfully merged Passive House standards with trailer manufacturing. It proved that construction environments do not have to be uncomfortable energy hogs; they can be solar-powered hubs of productivity. This experiment serves as a microcosm for the industry's broader challenge: how to scale innovation. Whether adapting to the massive energy demands of data centers or designing schools with a 100-year operational lifespan, the future of building requires looking beyond current codes. It demands a “green shoots” mentality where structures are designed not just for immediate occupancy, but for climate resilience and flexibility across generations.

    Send me a text! I'd LOVE to hear your feedback on this episode!What if your home, your lineage, and your energy field are quietly shaping your health, relationships, and luck—and you could change the pattern by shifting the layer beneath it? I'm sharing a grounded tour of quantum clearing that bridges physics, nervous system wisdom, and practical esoteric work, so you can spot real signals, not chase vague vibes, or believe that smudging your home is enough.I start with early tells: rooms that feel oddly cold, LED lights that flicker without failing, plants that struggle for no reason, and a constant urge to escape your own space. Then I zoom out to repeating life loops—money rising and crashing in cycles, conflicts that escalate out of nowhere, opportunities that never land—and the health echoes that follow, from sudden anxiety to a heavy disconnection from self. Instead of dismissing physiology, I anchor it: hormones, sleep, and health matter. But when the body checks out, and the pattern still repeats, your field is likely involved.I owe this experience to Brenda Farrugia.  She has cleared my energy field and my home, and I've been working with her, trust her and know her well.  I know both her and her gifted partner, Asim, very well.  Get in touch with her here:  https://www.sobrilliant.ca/.I unpack lineage layers as quantum imprints—family “curses” as dense informational patterns formed by trauma, betrayal, or collapse cycles. I explain why Reiki can soothe the surface while quantum clearing restructures the blueprint: dissolving distortions, guiding stuck residues to light, repairing fractured timelines, and reconnecting your home and land to coherent grids. You'll learn when to clear yourself first, when to focus on the house, and why some spaces keep reabsorbing stress until your own field is addressed. I share personal experiences—the years of energy work, the moment things began to move again—and what people commonly feel during and after a clearing: a lighter air, arguments that don't stick, stronger boundaries, louder intuition.If you've felt invisible to good timing, blocked by bad luck, or drained by your own four walls, this conversation offers a practical path to reorganize the field beneath the problem. Listen, note the signs, and decide whether self, home, lineage, or land is the next right step.
