In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Jenny Demark, Conrad Leung, and Dr. Linda Reinstein to talk about their new book, Complex Kids, Simple Solutions: How to Raise Resilient, Confident, Likable Kids. These are clinicians who've spent years working directly with families dealing with everything from emotion regulation challenges, to childhood anxiety, to severe behavioral challenges, and what I liked about this conversation is that it stayed extremely practical throughout. We spent a lot of time talking about their "Prepare, Teach, Motivate" framework, and how parents and professionals can think more systematically about helping kids build resilience and coping skills rather than just reacting to challenging behavior in the moment. Along the way, we discussed: Why some children require more intentional and consistent parenting approaches than others. How to build stronger relationships with kids who engage in challenging behavior. The importance of following a child's interests to create meaningful connection. Screen time struggles and how to reduce device dependence without escalating conflict. Emotion regulation strategies for children with frequent outbursts. Why many young children struggle to generalize skills learned in traditional talk therapy. The role of parental accommodation in maintaining anxiety and avoidance. Practical approaches to school refusal and helping kids gradually face difficult situations. Why parent coaching is often more effective than focusing exclusively on the child in therapy. The importance of self-care for parents and practitioners alike. I think this episode will be especially valuable for behavior analysts, school professionals, clinicians, and of course parents trying to support kids with more complex behavioral and emotional needs.

In this enlightening episode, host Ashish Kothari welcomes Pauline Leung, a former senior leader at L'Oreal turned high-performance coach and holistic health practitioner. Pauline shares her dramatic "wake-up call"—a motorbike accident in Vietnam—that shifted her from an overachieving, "victim-mindset" executive to a mindful leader. They demystify mindfulness, moving it away from "just meditation" to a moment-to-moment consciousness that is essential for high-stakes decision-making. Whether you are a corporate executive or an aspiring leader, this conversation provides a practical roadmap to leading with presence, clarity, and sustainable impact.Main Topics CoveredMindfulness vs. Meditation: Why mindfulness is a moment-to-moment choice of awareness, while meditation is a scheduled practice.The Consciousness Gap: How a leader's level of consciousness is the primary controllable factor in organizational suffering.Pauline's Turning Point: A visceral story of burnout and a life-changing accident that led her to the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh.The FLOW Framework: A deep dive into Pauline's four pillars: Focus, Learning, Ownership, and Well-being.The "Empty Cup" Philosophy: Why leaders must unlearn what they think they know to upskill effectively.Ownership vs. Control: Redefining responsibility as setting the right conditions rather than micromanaging outcomes.Healing Childhood Wounds: Why owning your triggers and personal traumas is a prerequisite for leading others well.Key TakeawaysPresence is a Prerequisite: You cannot lead effectively if you are not present. Self-awareness allows you to respond to challenges instead of reacting to triggers.Learning is Teaching: Deepen your learning by sharing "aha moments" at the end of every meeting. If you haven't adapted or adopted something new, the meeting was a failure.Agency Over Victimhood: Shift from asking "Why is this happening to me?" to "Why is this happening for me?" This reframe builds resilience and reveals opportunities for growth.Own the Process, Not the Outcome: When leaders own the decision-making process and invite team input, engagement and execution quality skyrocket.Flourishing is Performance: High performance is not a sprint; it is built on a foundation of holistic health—physical, emotional, and spiritual.Episode Chapters0:00 - 3:00 Introduction and Mindfulness as a Leadership Skill3:01 - 6:29 Consciousness: The controllable cause of Leadership Pain6:30 - 10:55 Mindfulness is Moment-to-Moment Awareness10:56 - 16:53 Pauline's Journey: From L'Oreal GM to Saigon Intersection16:54 - 20:34 Introduction to the FLOW Framework20:35 - 27:13 Leadership as an "Olympic" Sport: The Support System Gap27:14 - 31:20 Deep Dive on Learning: The "Forever Student" Intention31:21 - 35:50 Overcoming the Victim Mindset: Situations Happening "For" You35:51 - 43:15 Redefining Ownership: Responsibility without Micromanagement43:16 - 47:30 Owning the Decision-Making Process to Drive Engagement47:31 - 54:20 Rapid Fire Questions: Healing Traumas and The Leader With No TitleConnect with the GuestLinkedIn: Pauline LeungWebsite: PaulineLeung.comRecommended Reading: Peace Is Every Step by Thich Nhat Hanh; The Leader Who Had No Title by Robin Sharma.Connect with the HostWebsite: Happiness SquadLinkedIn: Ashish KothariBook: Hardwired for HappinessCall to Action: Are you ready to trade your "human doing" habits for a mindful way of being?

In this weeks' episode we had a fascinating chat with Dr Tommy Leung who is a parasitologist interested in the ecological and evolutionary facets of parasitism. Their research covers a range of parasite-related topics including macroecological patterns of parasitism, parasite community composition, parasite-host interactions, and disease ecology. The aim of their research is to shed light on a ubiquitous but often overlooked aspect of biodiversity.Tommy is also passionate about communicating parasitology and some of the lesser-known aspects of zoology to the general public. They write the Parasite of the Day blog, and has written multiple articles about parasites for The Conversation. They have also appeared on radio segments and podcasts, and is currently the social media editor for the Journal of Helminthology.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 127-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 35,584 on turnover of $12.3-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan closed slightly up at a new closing high Monday after recouping earlier losses, despite U.S. President Donald Trump's threats to blockade the Strait of Hormuz after failing to reach an agreement with Iran. The market moved underwater during most of Monday's session in the wake of Trump's threats, but bargain hunters turned active in the late session, helping the Taiex recover its earlier downturn, with contract chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing in focus. Analysts say investors also have high hopes that TSMC will provide positive leads at its investor conference slated for Thursday, after it reported a new high in sales for the first quarter. Tony Leung in Xinyi for Masterclass Hong Kong actor Tony Leung drew a crowd of fans and industry insiders to Taipei's Xinyi district last night for a masterclass at the Golden Horse Fantasy Film Festival. The multiple Golden Horse best actor winner was accompanied by his wife actress Carina Lau, as fans gathered outside the venue carrying movie posters and merchandise hoping for autographs. The masterclass was open only to film and television industry professionals and students in related fields. Of the one thousand people who applied, just 300 were selected to attend. Following the masterclass, Leung took part in a post-screening discussion alongside Hungarian director Ildiko Enyedi, whose new film "Stille Freundin" features (由…主演) Leung in a lead role. The two shareed their experiences preparing for the film with the audience. (NS) French cement giant Lafarge found guilty of financing terrorism A court in Paris has found the cement giant Lafarge guilty of financing terrorism. The company was ruled to have paid armed groups protection money to maintain its business in Syria after the outbreak of civil war. Ross Cullen reports. Haiti Arrests Suspects in Fatal Stampede Authorities in Haiti have arrested seven suspects, including five police officers, after a fatal stampede (獸群或人群因恐懼引發的奔逃) killed at least 25 people at a historic mountaintop fortress over the weekend. A police statement issued on Monday says that among the arrested are two employees of Haiti's Institute for the Preservation of National Heritage. The institute oversees La Citadelle, a fortress in the northern town of Milot built in the early 1800s where Saturday's stampede occurred. Dozens of people were injured, with 30 reported to still be in hospital on Sunday. It's not clear what caused the stampede. Authorities say the investigation is ongoing. Colombia to Cull Wild Hippos Colombian officials have authorized a controversial plan to cull (限量捕殺) dozens of wild hippos that are descendants of animals brought to the country in the 1980s by notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar. They have been roaming freely around one of the country's most fertile areas, threatening villagers and displacing local species. The animals are not native to South America. Escobar brought in hippos as he built a private zoo at a gigantic ranch that served as his rural abode. Colombia's authorities say previous attempts to control the hippos' population have been expensive and unsuccessful. Because Colombia's hippos come from a limited gene pool and could carry diseases, taking them back to their natural habitat in Africa has been considered unfeasible (不可行的). That was the I.C.R.T.

We'd love to hear from you. What are your thoughts and questions?In this conversation, Cece Leung, a CPA and founder of Rich and Sassy, discusses the complexities of success and the internal disorientation that can follow financial achievements.

To the outside world, Ted Ammon had built the kind of life most people only dream about — a self-made Wall Street titan worth nearly $100 million, a Hamptons beach mansion, and twin children he adored. But behind the facade, his marriage to the brilliant, volatile Generosa had curdled into something dangerous. A bitter divorce, a secret affair, and a brash Long Island electrician with a criminal record had pushed an already unstable situation to the breaking point.When Ted's business partner flew out to the East Hampton beach house one October morning, what he found inside would haunt him forever. Thirty or more blows to the head. Stun gun burns. And not a single witness in sight.No murder weapon. No DNA. No fingerprints. Just a dead man in a mansion.Today's snack: H‑E‑B Blanched Almonds - Sweet Chile and H‑E‑B Twisters Sandwich Cookies - Mexican Hot Chocolate (thanks Carla!)Listen to part 2 today on PatreonSources:Crowley, Kieran.

Shan Ng follows acclaimed Hong Kong and Taiwan cinematographer Kwan Pun Leung as he creates a new music video, Fragile Love. Known for his work on landmark films including In the Mood for Love and 2046, Kwan has built a reputation for crafting deeply poetic and emotionally resonant images. Across a career spanning decades, Kwan has developed a distinctive creative philosophy that places intuition and responsiveness at the centre of cinematography. Rather than focusing solely on the technical, he views film-making as a collaborative process with actors, directors and the natural environment. Light, movement and atmosphere are not simply tools but his partners in shaping meaning. For him, cinematography is not simply about capturing reality, but allowing unexpected moments to shape the emotional language of the frame.

Actor Ken Leung is no stranger to the toxic male archetype. He embodies it as Eric Tao, the ruthless baseball-bat-carrying trading floor bully he plays on HBO's “Industry.” Leung talks with Audie about what pushes characters like Eric—on screen and in real life—over the edge from family man to a name you could see in the Epstein files. They also discuss why women of color don't get the “anti-hero” treatment, and how “Industry” has evolved into a portrait of the greed, corruption, and class conflict defining this moment. -- This episode was produced by Lori Galarreta and Jesse Remedios Senior Producer: Matt Martinez Technical Director: Dan Dzula Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Obsessed The Podcast, host Matt Wilstein breaks down the addictive chaos of Industry, the buzzy HBO and BBC drama about ambition, power, and toxic workplace culture in high finance. He's joined first by Emma Fraser to unpack the season's biggest twists and what makes the series such a nerve-shredding watch. Then, Wilstein sits down with star Ken Leung, who opens up about playing the volatile Eric Tao, the psychology behind his performance, and how the show captures the brutal intensity of the trading floor. Leung also shares the story of how he nearly tanked the audition for his breakout performance on The Sopranos and explains why he most certainly will not be reprising his role in the Trump-demanded Rush Hour 4.

Cannabis policy in the United States has been, in many ways, a giant experiment. The drug was recently reclassified by the Trump administration from a Schedule I to a Schedule III drug, but remains federally illegal. On the state level, cannabis's availability to patients and consumers has been determined by voters, not by scientists and regulators. Each state has a different approach to cannabis regulation and product safety, and as a result, a patient using medical cannabis in Florida might be exposed to different risks than a consumer in California, for example.On this episode, host Kelsey Schoenberg is joined by toxicologist Maxwell C. K. Leung, assistant professor at Arizona State University and the director of the ASU Cannabis Analytics, Safety and Health Initiative, and Symone T. Griffith, an ASU Presidential Scholar and doctoral candidate at Arizona State University. Leung and Griffith, who wrote about cannabis regulation and product safety for the Fall 2025 Issues, explain how the federal-state legal divide has shaped cannabis safety, research, and policy. They also share what it's like to be a researcher working in this space. RESOURCESRead Leung, Griffith, and Marisa Kreider's essay, “A Coordinated Approach to Cannabis Policy and Product Safety,” in the Fall Issues.Check out Leung and Griffith's paper on cannabis use and Parkinson's patients, as well as their lab's analysis of state-level regulations for cannabis contaminants.Read a paper from the Cannabis Regulators Association outlining a research agenda for how science can shape cannabis policy.Listen to another episode on cannabis: “Minimizing Cannabis's Harms to Public Health,” with Sara Frueh and guest Yasmin Hurd.

Stuart Leung had occupied the CFO office at Flexport for only a few months when he realized the supply chain management company's growing margin pressures stemmed not from a single root cause but from many. From pricing misalignment to invoice errors, Leung had compiled a lengthy list of snags. Along the way, he began empowering the people closest to each issue to drive the necessary improvements. By implementing more than 15 “big rock” initiatives—tracked through monthly reviews—Flexport rapidly identified, tested, and refined solutions. This cross-functional, data-centric effort not only began restoring margins but also created a replicable model of continuous improvement.That turnaround effort, Leung tells us, echoed lessons he learned earlier in his career. As a young analyst at an investment bank, he quickly discovered how fundamental analysis and modeling could uncover hidden risks. Later, private equity taught him the vital link between operational decisions and financial outcomes—a perspective he solidified while leading finance and supply chain for a small consumer brand. When he encountered Flexport as a paying customer, its tech platform simplified his logistics challenges in such a way that he became a believer in its end-to-end visibility vision.

Michael Leung's business philosophy centers on building genuine human connections, especially with communities that are often underserved by mainstream technology. He goes beyond the conventional sales approach, personally visiting seniors in their homes to ensure they understand and are comfortable with his Flow Group products. By doing so, he creates a trustworthy environment where clients feel valued and supported, transforming customers into advocates who help spread his mission organically. This approach has fostered remarkable loyalty—many seniors experience emotional, life-changing moments, such as regaining their hearing, all with Michael's guidance and genuine care alongside them. His commitment to grassroots, hands-on engagement isn't just a business tactic. It's a core part of his belief in truly making a difference in people's lives. Michael resists impersonal, mass-market platforms, focusing instead on word-of-mouth growth and direct, face-to-face support. For him, technology should empower and restore dignity, and his determination to offer an accessible, user-friendly solution makes his impact on the senior and differently-abled communities truly profound.

A Chinese Reformer in Exile: Kang Youwei and the Chinese Empire Reform Association in North America, 1899-1911 is an encyclopaedic reference work documenting the exile years of imperial China's most famous reformer, Kang Youwei, and the political organization he mobilized in North America and worldwide to transform China's autocratic empire into a constitutional monarchy. Chinese in Canada, the United States, and Mexico formed at least 160 Chinese Empire Reform Association chapters, incorporating schools, newspapers, military academies, women's associations, businesses, and political pressure campaigns. Based on Robert Worden's 1972 Georgetown University Ph.D. dissertation, a multinational team of historians contribute new insights from 50 years of additional scholarship and previously unknown archival materials. Robert L. Worden, Ph.D. (1972) Georgetown University, retired in 2007 after 34 years at the Library of Congress where he authored more than 100 Asia-related studies for government agencies, and numerous China-related books, articles, and book reviews of personal interest. Jane Leung Larson is an independent scholar whose broad-based research on the Chinese Empire Reform Association evolved from studying the papers of her grandfather Tom Leung, Kang Youwei's student in Guangzhou and host, travel companion, and confidant in North America. Li-Ping Chen is a visiting scholar in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Southern California. Her research interests include literary translingualism, diaspora, and nativism in Sinophone, inter-Asian, and transpacific contexts.

Based on Robert Worden's 1972 Georgetown University Ph.D. dissertation, a multinational team of historians contribute new insights from 50 years of additional scholarship and previously unknown archival materials. Robert L. Worden, Ph.D. (1972) Georgetown University, retired in 2007 after 34 years at the Library of Congress where he authored more than 100 Asia-related studies for government agencies, and numerous China-related books, articles, and book reviews of personal interest. Jane Leung Larson is an independent scholar whose broad-based research on the Chinese Empire Reform Association evolved from studying the papers of her grandfather Tom Leung, Kang Youwei's student in Guangzhou and host, travel companion, and confidant in North America. Li-Ping Chen is a visiting scholar in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Southern California. Her research interests include literary translingualism, diaspora, and nativism in Sinophone, inter-Asian, and transpacific contexts.

In today's episode of EMBody Radio, I sit down with Scarlett Leung — a powerhouse operator and entrepreneur who has scaled businesses from scratch to over $600 million in revenue. Scarlett brings a rare balance of creative vision and business logic, and in this conversation we break down the real skills and mindset shifts required to build at the highest levels. We dig into what it actually takes to grow a company beyond the startup phase, the realities of leadership, and why blending creativity with discipline is the ultimate entrepreneurial advantage. Whether you're just starting your journey or scaling past 7+ figures, this episode will light a fire under you. What You'll Hear in This Episode: Scarlett's journey from CPA to scaling businesses to $600M+ in revenue The hardest transitions in growth: why the leap from $500M to $1B is the steepest The essential business/logical skills every entrepreneur should cultivate (finance, ops, HR, ecom) Why creative intuition is equally critical, and how Scarlett balances both sides The danger of staying loyal to team members who can't scale with the business How to hire and assess talent at each stage of growth The role of grit, adaptability, and willingness to learn in long-term success Cross-functional leadership: why marketing, supply chain, and finance must all communicate Scarlett's reflections on community, connection, and creating opportunities for collaboration Why You Should Listen Think like a $600M operator — learn what separates hobbyist entrepreneurs from leaders who scale into the hundreds of millions. Spot your own ceiling — understand when you might be the bottleneck, and how to bring in the right people to take your business higher. Balance logic with creativity — discover why finance, ops, and HR matter just as much as vision, innovation, and connection.
