In this episode of The Tactical Empire, Jeff Smith and Shawn Rider delve into Level Four of the Seven Levels of Financial Freedom. They introduce the concept of creating your own banking system through high early cash value life insurance policies. This revolutionary approach allows your money to work harder by earning interest continually, while also enabling you to borrow against the policy for major expenses and investments without liquidating your cash reserves. Jeff and Shawn discuss the immense benefits of infinite banking, the importance of properly structuring these policies, and share practical examples of how this strategy can reshape your financial future and create a sustainable path to high achievement and abundance.Chapters:00:00 Introduction to The Tactical Empire00:33 Introducing Level Four: Building Your Own Banking System01:54 Understanding the Infinite Banking Concept05:50 Practical Applications and Benefits08:58 Advanced Strategies and Personal Experiences21:45 Conclusion and Next StepsYou can connect with Shawn Rider on Facebook and Instagram.

Diagnostics in Life Sciences is the Key to Healthcare w/ Mara Aspinall of Illumina Ventures  AZ TRT S05 EP12 (227) 3-24-2024    What We Learned This Week Diagnostics is the key to healthcare, identifying medical issues and designing the right treatment for the patient Five Levels of Diagnostics – Screening, Diagnosis, Prognosis, Interacting, & Monitoring Illumina Ventures is a life sciences venture capital firm with 35 companies in their portfolio Their investment companies deal in genomics, cancer testing, telehealth, at home testing & more Future of Biotech will be impacted by both AI and Nanotech     Guest: Mara G. Aspinall, Partner, Illumina Ventures  https://www.illuminaventures.com/ President and CEO, Health Catalysts Group Board Member of AZ Bio - https://www.azbio.org/   Mara Aspinall is a healthcare industry leader and pioneer with a commitment to civic involvement.     She is a Partner at Illumina Ventures, an independent, global healthcare venture capital firm focused on genomics and precision health investing including diagnostics and therapeutic products. Aspinall has deep roots in venture investing, having co-founded BlueStone Venture Partners in 2017. BlueStone has a strong portfolio of diagnostic, medical device, and digital health companies in the U.S. Southwest. Throughout her career, Aspinall has spearheaded initiatives to educate payers and policymakers on genomics and personalized medicine. She publishes the popular Sensitive and Specific: The Testing Newsletter and the annual Diagnostics Year in Review. This commitment to expanding knowledge inspired Aspinall to create and co-found the Biomedical Diagnostics master's degree program at Arizona State University, the only program dedicated exclusively to diagnostics, genetics, and genomics. Previously, Aspinall was President and CEO of Ventana Medical Systems, a billion-dollar division of TheRoche Group, (now Roche Tissue Diagnostics), a worldwide leader in the development and commercialization of tissue-based cancer diagnostics, where she led more than two dozen major instrument and assay launches and helped position the company as a global leader in companion diagnostics. Aspinall spent 13 years at Genzyme Corporation, where she served as President of Genzyme Genetics and Genzyme Pharmaceuticals. Aspinall transformed the business from a small, specialized player to one of the top five laboratories in the U.S. while setting the industry standard for quality testing. The business was sold to LabCorp for $1 billion in 2010. Aspinall also served as Founder and CEO of On-Q-ity, a start-up diagnostic company dedicated to circulating tumor cells. During the pandemic, Aspinall emerged as a national authority on COVID testing, serving as the principal investigator at Arizona State University on grants from The Rockefeller Foundation, creating TestingCommons.com and EvidenceCommons.com – internationally recognized interactive databases on COVID diagnostics and related research and clinical applications. Aspinall was named Arizona Biosciences Leader of the Year by the Arizona Bioindustry Association and one of “100 Most Inspiring People in Life Sciences” by PharmaVOICE magazine. Aspinall has extensive board experience. She has served on multiple public and private company boards in leadership roles over the last ten years. She is currently Chair of the Board of OraSure (OSUR) and Chair of the Nominating & Governance Committee of Castle Biosciences (CSTL). She also serves on the board of BlueCross BlueShield of Arizona. She holds an MBA from Harvard Business School, a BA in International Relations from Tufts University, and is certified in Cybersecurity Oversight from Carnegie Mellon/NACD.     Notes:   Seg 1 All of life sciences and biotech is healthcare. Diagnostics is the central organizing portion in healthcare, and consists of testing if needed. There are five (5) levels to diagnostics. Level One is Screening – where a patient may or may not be sick, check the health status, and also could be regular check ups for something pre-diagnosed.  Level Two is the Diagnosis - where tests are taken and then you see the results of the test. Level Three is the Prognosis – what symptoms does the patient have, and where you  need to go from here, what will happen with these symptoms. Level Four is a newer part called Interacting - This is where you can do personalized medicine and what's called theranostics or drug treatment. You combine drugs with the treatment. You have to analyze what type of drug is needed. What someone's body is like, how they metabolize drugs. What dose central levels are needed. People's reactions to drugs is not just body size or weight as suggested previously, but could be very much based on the genes. Level Five also new is called Monitoring - If disease treatment is over how do you monitor over the long term. What test do you take to confirm that there's been no return of the disease. Examples would be an MRD test which stands for a minimal residue disease.  You also may be doing things like CT scans or x-ray scans in the past, but sometimes these do not detect disease properly. Some cancers could be very small and you need a blood test. People may check in through cycles of a disease treatment also.   Seg 2 Regarding monitoring and Level Five using cancer as an example. People may go through 6 rounds of chemotherapy treatment. The doctor should monitor by round 3 and check is the tumor reduced or how is the chemo working.  Do you want to have benchmarks to see if you're reaching the health goals and if the medicine is effective. Future treatment might be biopsy of a tumor and testing glass to see what drug may work on it.  Revisiting Level Four in personalized medicine you may see in the future Chino metric analysis. Check the risk level for certain diseases so you can have a preemptive process to prevent potential predisposed diseases. This is level A. Level B would be when diagnosed with a disease, you check the tumor, mutations and genes checking both the DNA and RNA. Mara is on the board of AZ Bio (.org). The goal of AZ Bio is bringing educated people about biotech together to affect the state, the universities, and companies. Move research along with the responsibility to patients in the medical field. Mara is involved in venture capital which is critical, because it funds entrepreneurs in good companies to research and create Biotech product processes and products. There are other levels of investment, which typically start with friends and angel investing then move on to venture capital, and then private equity for really big rounds.  She was the founder of Blue Stone and they invested in Southwest companies.  In the fall of 2023 she became a partner at Illumina Ventures. They deal with 35 different companies. They've invested in all levels, biotech and genomics. You're looking for a VC to be specialized and knowledgeable about an industry so they can help the business grow provide it with money and add expertise.   Seg 3 Mara and Illumina Ventures recently put out a report - Diagnostics Year in Review. This report covers how did the industry is doing, what stocks earn money, what IPOs there were, financials, clinical, innovation, and mergers and acquisitions.   How does venture-capital work? Typically you have individual funds one through five. You raise money from investors and invest in new emerging companies. Companies may be doing research, drug development, or working other areas of life sciences.   Examples of companies in their portfolio: Delphi deals in cancer, diagnosis test and early screening for cancer and detection test. Level one screen checking for lung cancer and what early symptoms there are. Biopsy can be dangerous so you need other tests. Let's Get Checked - a telehealth online company that brings testing to the patient either at home or in an urgent care or ER. This is faster and easier. Examples of test are Covid test and STD test. Serimmune human immunity research company Genome Medical a genetic counseling company, working with patients to discuss what diseases they may be predisposed to, and ways to not pass it to the   Seg 4 Future of Biotech We saw with the pandemic, the rise of telemedicine with faster online diagnosis. We will also see in the future that AI changes drug development and reading tests The creation of better and faster equipment. The rise of nanotech, and early detection of diseases with blood samples - for example, at home blood draw.     Check out the Best of Biotech Show: Best of Biotech from AZ Bio & Life Sciences to Jellatech - BRT S04 EP26 (189) 7-2-2023   What We Learned This Week: AZ Bio mission to improve life sciences, & make AZ a Top 10 Bioscience state Aqualung Therapeutics is treating inflammation in the lungs, get people off ventilators & save lives Calviri is working on a Vaccine to PREVENT Cancer, currently largest animal clinical trial Anuncia Medical has a Re-Flow product to help drain fluid from the brain, treats Hydrocephalus Collagen 2.0 – Innovation to Gelatin & gummies   Full Show: HERE     AZ Tech Council Shows:  https://brt-show.libsyn.com/size/5/?search=az+tech+council *Includes Best of AZ Tech Council show from 2/12/2023   Tech Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Tech-Startup-VC-Cybersecurity-Energy-Science  Best of Tech: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/size/5/?search=best+of+tech     ‘Best Of' Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+of+BRT      Thanks for Listening.

A major leak in Waipukurau's drinking water network has sent the town into immediate level four water restrictions. Water levels in the Pukeora Reservoir are critically low, at 26 percent. Central Hawke's Bay Mayor Alex Walker spoke to Corin Dann.

Wellingtonians are being urged to store emergency water supplies as the capital faces possible severe restrictions. Wellington Water is preparing for level four restrictions, which would ban all outdoor water use and cut indoor use by up to half. The region's Emergency Management Office recommends storing enough for at least 20 litres per person, per day, for seven days. Regional manager Jeremy Holmes spoke to Charlotte Cook.

This is the case of Susan Cummings, a wealthy heiress, who shot and killed her boyfriend, an Argentine polo player named Roberto Villegas. On that day, Sept. 7th, 1997, Susan claims it was self defense, but based on the information gathered by the police and investigators. It was not as cut and dry as it might have appeared to be, which is why I am placing this in Level Four on the 22 Level Gradations of Evil Scale. Listen in to hear more!

Episode 86 (this episode) Part 1: basic training principles, key training & physiology terms, simplified training intensity levelsEpisode 87: Part 2: deep dive into "no man's land" and sweetspot, how to prioritize training efforts, and more on why building in fun is the key Hunter Allen Bio: Ex-Pro cyclistPeaks Coaching Group Founder, CEOUSAC Level 1 Coach …. Focusing on : Road Cyclists, MTB and TriCo-Founder TrainingPeaks WKOCo-Author “ Training and Racing with a Power Meter ” Co-Author " Triathlon Training With Power "Co-Author “ Cutting Edge Cycling ”2008 Olympic USA BMX Team Technical CoachAnd, it should be noted, still a super fit dude (298 FTP) Peaks Coaching Group: http://www.peakscoachinggroup.com/ Download slides from Hunter Notes 5 Levels of Intensity Countdown (the Wise Athletes simplified version) LEVEL FIVE (5): Short maximum output efforts above threshold. This level includes VO2max testing efforts (so a 10 second flying 200 on the track to a 5 minute VO2Max effort), — you are using everything you got. All out for a short time. Pacing is hard without practice but what is notable is how, even with proper pacing, you fail to maintain the power output after a very short time. This is similar to weight lifting…the bigger the weight, the fewer the reps. The fast twitch muscles fatigue quickly from using up ATP and accumulation of waste products that make the muscle environment more acidic and interfere with the muscle function. At this level, oxygen is the limiter. After a rest, the muscle recovers and can go again but not quite as well. This process can be repeated a few times but the fast twitch muscle will get fatigued (maybe damaged?) and need to heal and adapt before the next effort (hopefully a couple days hence if you went to failure). At this level, you really need a power meter or smart trainer to measure your power output for the training interval. HR won't help because of the delay in HR response. LEVEL FOUR (4): Lactate threshold / FTP/ steady state (around an hour) — it's a concept as much as it's a power output that can be sustained as long as glucose is available to burn and lactate can be cleared and used by the mitochondria. Similar to this is the Functional Threshold Power….It's called functional because an hour is a nice round number and is approximately the time needed to complete a 40k TT which is a standard TT distance in cycling. This might also be about the time it takes to burn through available glucose. You are breathing heavily but steadily. You are not talking. At this level, if you paced it correctly, glucose is the limiter, not oxygen. A power meter is helpful but you could also do an FTP test based on distance covered in 1 hour or time to compete 25 miles. LEVEL THREE (3) Tempo / Sweetspot (also called “no man's land”) is in-between lactate threshold and endurance pace. This is where racing lives unless it is a very short or very long race. This is advertised as being more time-efficient than polarized training. Sweetspot is the high end, just below Threshold, while Tempo is the lower end, just above Endurance/FatMax level. LEVEL TWO (2): Endurance/ fat max (a long time). This is the famous Zone 2

"Today is the eight day of the month. Tomorrow is the 13th." ~Zen Koan Skills vs. habits. Habits vs. skills. What's the difference? Bound by language, experts in behavioral science tend to struggle as they attempt to delineate the two.   MG suggests these scientists are missing the most important aspect of their relationship: How similar habits and skills are! There are many favorable reasons to regard habits and skills as nearly identical.   First, it helps to remove the predominately negative connotation that habits carry. Skills are rarely, if ever, thought of as "bad" or negative. Second, it reinforces how POSITIVE HABIT BUILDING IS THE SAME AS SKILL BUILDING. This is precisely what The Habit Factor's P.A.R.R. method has taught since 2010.   When it comes to developing good habits, the same sort of desire, effort, and practice is required that skills demand. And, knowing they are nearly the same helps to highlight how ineffective "The Habit Loop" is when it comes to positive habit building. By "The four levels of competence" model, developed by Martin M. Broadwell, we can see how both habits and skill capability increases. LEVEL ONE: Unconscious Incompetence: I don't even know that tying my shoes will be helpful. LEVEL TWO: Conscious Incompetence: I've just started to learn, and I'm really struggling. LEVE THREE: Conscious Compentence: I'm much better at tying my shoes now, and it's getting easier. LEVEL FOUR:  Unconscious Compentence: The highest level: I tie my shoes without even looking or much thought! Level four is where both habits and skills share the greatest similarity and, interestingly enough, they reside in the same place in the brain!. It always takes effort and practice to develop good habits, just like it does for skills.   Enjoy the show! More "tweener" episodes are on the way.

Today is going to be a little different - some adjustments. In Episode 100 -  you'll get to deconstruct how I listen to the guests. I've interviewed over the past 100 episodes. If time allows after the interview has formally concluded, I have a simple and consistent habit where I ask the guests, just one question - What did you notice about my listening? Now, this is a Level Four listening technique. It's designed as a way for me to make incremental improvements in each conversation. When I hear what people notice in the way I listen, I am making some very simple notes in my mind, that's a very important listening signal, make sure I continue to do it the next time.   Occasionally people will highlight things that surprise me. They highlight things that wow, I didn't realize that was a listening signal for the person speaking.   It's critical to understand that when you listen deeply, gently, thoroughly, carefully, you will change the way the speaker communicates.   Not just what they say, not just what they think, but also what they make of the conversation, what it means for them. What can you expect today? You'll hear reflections of 11 people and their perspectives on how I was listening to them. You'll notice some very, very consistent themes. And yet you'll notice some subtle variations as well. You'll hear from six females, five males from deaf and blind people you'll hear from people whose first language is English and you'll hear from people whose home language isn't English. You'll hear from authors, musicians, professors, former military leaders, researchers, psychotherapists, and a range of many others. As you listen to them, deconstruct my listening, please keep these points in mind. This is just the way I listen. My listening context is very specific.   Listening is situational. It's relational and contextual. The way I listen during an interview is with a listening orientation for the audience, for you. There are many questions I would love to ask the people that I interview yet, they're only appropriate for me. They're not going to help you and I play with this duality while I'm listening.   How do I stay in the moment long enough - not to listen, but to listen on behalf of you.   In chapter one of the upcoming book - how to listen and at the end of every chapter in the book, we have a series of three invitations, they're practices that we invite the reader or the audiobook listener to explore, we invite them to explore something to practice because we recommend that you read the book one chapter per week while practicing a technique during that week. So at the end of chapter one, we pose these three invitations and.   Who's the best listener, you know, and what's one thing they do well? When was the last time somebody fully and deeply listened to you? and what did they do well during that conversation? When you think about that conversation where you were deeply listen to, how did you think speak and feel differently as a result? I'm delighted to be engaging with a range of the Deep Listening Ambassador community as they provide Advanced Reader Copy feedback on this and Bailey was kind enough to send me a photo of the exercise that I just mentioned from chapter one of the book where she very thoughtfully, thoroughly and deeply considered those three invitations, and came to some interesting insights, all of her own. It gives me a lot of joy to be celebrating episode 100 with you and I want to thank you   Listen for free

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - As the level 4 ‘drought' continues and some shallow well owners are concerned about their water supply, CKTZ News asked an expert about Cortes Island aquifers.

June is Scoliosis Awareness Month. Scoliosis affects 4 million children, mostly girls between the ages of 10- and 15-years-old. In this episode, you'll discover:—The plans for an International Pandemic Treaty that will give the World Health Organization authority to override national sovereignty in a pandemic.—Why the COVID-19 pandemic was always a Level One pandemic, but was reacted to as if it was a Level Four pandemic. —How Indiana is the 4th-worst (or best, according to your perspective) state for COVID vaccine compliance.—How 80% of Scoliosis cases are "idiopathic" or cases that have no known reason why it has occurred. And how this reflects Dr. Prather's teaching that 80% of our Health Care should be Structure-Function Care and 20% Disease Care.—Dr. Prather's theory that "a perfect storm" of several different things go wrong to cause the development of Scoliosis. And why you should have your child screened for Scoliosis on an annual basis by a doctor who specializes in spinal health. —Why Dr. Prather says that Chiropractic, Acupuncture, Corrective Exercises, and Physiotherapy are all "essential" to treat Scoliosis. And the critical importance of getting an Atlas (the top vertebrae) adjustment as the first step in any Scoliosis treatment.—The necessity of back bracing for Scoliosis patients, but also back braces that are undetectable to protect the emotional and psychological health of kids who have to wear them. —How Dr. Prather "always, always, always" finds a Hormonal imbalance with Scoliosis. And why that imbalance needs to be corrected in a natural, not a pharmaceutical, way.—The diagnostics necessary to diagnose Scoliosis…and not just the expected imaging such as X-Rays.—The Copper-Zinc imbalance that is found in every single Scoliosis case. And the Hair Analysis that discovers this, as well as any Heavy Metal toxicity.www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

What's the difference between a good leader and a great leader? According to John Maxwell, leadership expert, best-selling author, and founder of the world-famous John Maxwell Group, the answer depends on what level of leadership ability a person reaches. In 5 Levels of Leadership, Maxwell outlines the various stages of leadership from least evolved to most evolved. What are the 5 Levels of Leadership? Level 1 – Position A leader grants a particular person the right to lead. As a result, people follow them because they are directed to, not because they are influential. Level 2 – Permission The leader focuses on building and growing relationships with their employees. As a result, their team members give them free permission to lead. Level 3 – Production When a leader reaches Level Three, they focus on the increase of results. In turn, people follow them because they trust the person knows what they're doing and will lead them in the right direction. Level 4 – People Development Those who reach Level Four are servant leaders who teach, mentor, and multiply other leaders. They obtain and maintain followers because people know they positively influence the lives of everyone around them. Level 5 – Pinnacle Level Five leaders—the rarest type of leader—are well-known for their accomplishments, how they've enriched the lives of others, and led their organizations to change the world for the better. These leaders have followers because of who they are, what they've done, and what they represent to people. John Maxwell is a leadership expert who has written more than ten books on the subject, several of which are New York Times bestsellers. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-kaagee-mante/message

In week four, Tony talks about the necessity of being an innovative leader. Sometimes with being an innovative leader, we have to make changes. Those changes can come in process, people, product, etc. Change is scary, but if you adequately prepare your people for change, you can make everyone's experience better throughout the transition of the change. The innovative and fourth level of leadership can be the scariest level. One reason it can be the scariest is because of the unknown and the possibility of change which not everyone likes. Tony gives shares a little secret about those who reach level four.Start your own podcast with Buzzsprout and get a $20 Amazon Gift Card using this link https://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=1734803.Simplified Kuber & Ross Change Model- https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ah1_FnlkBX-rwGw3MGmlYPW5gcgx?e=h4MAOF Instagram: @soyouwanttotalkaboutleadershipEmail: talkaboutleadershippodcast@gmail.com

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast:   Do requirements by The College of Nurses of Ontario need reform to address the nursing shortage? One doctor says they do based on her experience. GUEST: Dr. Mariana Bueno, Research Fellow with The Hospital for Sick Children - Just three days into 2022, Ontarians were greeted by the sight of Premier Ford intoning that the new wave of the pandemic is like “nothing we've ever seen” and that a “tsunami” of cases is about to swamp the province's health-care system. But, Ford had the math three weeks ago, when the Ontario Science Table reported that it had tracked 30 cases of Omicron per million inhabitants as of Dec. 10. That's 450 cases for a province of 15 million people. By then, the world knew that Omicron cases double every two to three days. So why did Ford not bite the bullet before Christmas? The only answer, in this election year, is politics. Instead of hurting businesses at one of the busiest times of the year, as well as earning the ire of the anti-lockdown crowd, he chose to hurt millions of other people.  GUEST: Tasha Kheiriddin, Principal at Navigator and VP of the Canadian Centre for the Purpose of the Corporation - Students and teachers in Ontario will heading back to the classroom as scheduled on Monday January 17th. The province said while students and teachers pivoted to online learning, officials would work to deploy non-fit-tested N95 respirators for education and child-care staff, high quality three-ply masks cloth masks for students, and additional HEPA filters for classrooms. GUEST: Karen Brown, President of the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario (ETFO) - The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Monday advised against travel to Canada because of a rising number of COVID-19 cases. The CDC elevated its travel recommendation to "Level Four: Very High" for Canada, telling Americans they should avoid travel to its northern neighbour. The CDC currently lists about 80 destinations worldwide at Level Four. It also raised the island of Curaçao to Level Four on Monday. GUEST: Reggie Cecchini, Washington Correspondent for Global News

In this episode we'll be discussing Level Four of the backrooms and what can be expected within. As always, we'll be dropping tips for travelers who find their way here. So come with us as we no clip into Level Four!

Predictable but disappointing.That's how one expert is describing the decision to keep Auckland under current Level Three restrictions for another two weeks.Emeritus Professor Des Gorman told Andrew Dickens the Government had to balance the chorus of experts wanting Level Four with the reality compliance is slipping.He says he's disappointed because what we needed today was clarity - with timelines and what the endgame looks like.“Mothers and fathers homeschooling, the people whose businesses are going bust, people whose jobs are at threat, people whose mental health is deteriorating, they didn't need ‘tune in on Wednesday and Friday and we'll tell you the next instalment,' they needed clarity, they needed hope.”LISTEN ABOVE

If there has ever been a time to head out on the water and get your rods out it's now. Apparently lockdown was good for one thing and that is replenishing the ocean! The editor of NZ Fishing News, Grant Dixon joins us now to share his post-lockdown fishing tales.

This is the first show I've broadcast in more than a month in which Auckland has been out of the dreaded Alert Level 4.And honestly, I thought this time, things *might* be different. I thought after more a month of sitting at home, more of us in the big city might have taken stock, kicked the habit, and set our aspirations a little higher for the move to Level 3. Aucklanders might have learnt from every one else around the country. A new start. A new dawn. A new opportunity to refresh our routines.But no. We all went to McDonalds and Burger King and Wendy's and Carl's Junior, and KFC, instead.Well, not all of us. I'm not trying to be all high and mighty but I haven't had any of that Worldwide-franchisey-plastic-additivesy-supersize-me shit in almost fifteen years and I'll be damned if a move to Level 3 was going to convince me to spend half an hour with an idling engine waiting for some chicken nuggets in a drive-through queue.What's wrong with people? On Wednesday I could see queues down the street for my closest franchise. Addicts waiting for a fix! Honestly, big brand fast food franchise marketing has to be one of the greatest media swindles of all time. Because in case you haven't noticed, the food's really not that good.It's ok I guess. A bit of sugar, salt, and saturated fat plus however many hundred additives. Call me old fashioned but I prefer my food to be prepared with ingredients, not random numbers.And before you accuse me of elitism, know this: I'm not a vegan. I'm not a health nut. I eat sugar and salt and saturated fat. But if I'm going to enjoy some takeaways as a bit of a treat, I'd much rather spend my money on a roti canai at the Malaysian hole-in-the-wall down the road, or on a scoop and a piece of cod at the local fish and chip shop. Independent small businesses need all the help they can get right now.I know we love to joke about it. Haha! Two guys got caught trying to smuggle buckets of K-Fry over the Auckland border. Hilarious. I just think sometimes the fixation is a bit... lame. Apparently health officials have been considering setting up a vaccination system at KFCs, Piza Huts, and Taco Bells. Part of me thinks it's smart. Part of me thinks it's funny. Part of me thinks it's pretty sad state that there are apparently people in our society who would rather get a Cheesy Gordita Crunch than a vaccination for a deadly virus.I saw Population Nutrition Professor Boyd Swinburn on Breakfast this week, lamenting the fast food ‘culture of craving' that has dominated Covid-19. I totally agree with him. It's a conversation our society don't really want to have and you shouldn't need me to make this point: If you think Covid-19 puts pressure on our health system, just wait until you hear about bad nutrition!There are plenty of reasons I hope we never go back to Level Four. Plenty. Top of the list: I'm sick of people treating a quarter pack or a McChicken combo like a sweet sip of water after a long march through the desert.

We all know the rule - you can get your fitness fix in lockdown, but only if you maintain a two metre buffer. But with Auckland's footpaths seemingly busier than ever under Level Four, we wanted to see whether people are keeping to the Covid-19 code. Even if you try your best to stay distanced, is it always possible? Our reporter Nick Truebridge and cameraman Nick Monro went for a stroll in the sun.  

Korea24 – 2021.09.03. (Friday) News Briefing: The government has extended the toughest Level Four social distancing scheme in the capital region and Level Three in other areas by another four weeks to October 3.

Wellingtonians are already dreaming up their first food orders as the capital prepares for an overnight alert level drop. While alert level 3 has infamously become known as Level Four with takeaways, not everyone is choosing to open up this time around. And for businesses that are, they're seemingly more Covid-19 cautious than ever. Our reporter Jake McKee and cameraman Samuel Rillstone have more.  

The boys have crystal clear audio thanks to their new tech, and they're ready to give you all the goss on their neighbours, what they've been eating and what they're wearing (hint: it's very tight). "It's Raining Men" is back and we give big ups to vaccinated queers. We're cracking this lockdown by turning the podcast heat all the way up to Level Four (out of a possible ten).

Stupidity Alert! Seand still wants more books (for some reason) and the group has finally completed a quest! Time for dinner.

Introduction: Sarah Hill is the co-owner of Dialogix and she describes herself as a dialogue facilitator and behavioural dynamics interventionist. The focus of her work is on tackling some of the toughest and most demanding behavioural challenges. She works with CEOs and senior leaders from a range of different cultures and countries.  She designs & delivers accredited training programs on structural dynamics, generative dialogue and childhood story. Sarah is the Author of “Where did you learn to behave like that? A coaching guide for working with Leaders. She has also co-authored the book The Tao of Dialogue. Sarah holds a PhD and has published articles on collaborative research working with invisible realities & issues of integrity through the lens of Structural Dynamics. Sarah's ambition as a thought leader is to help Leaders recognise that their unresolved childhood stories not only adversely impact themselves but the teams and whole systems of which they are a part.    Podcast episode summary: This episode explores the methodology of Structural Dynamics and Childhood Story. Sarah explained how the behavioural components of structural dynamics can help a team understand their communication patterns and resolve some stuck patterns. She distinguished between the 4 levels of structural dynamics and how practical a model it can be for teams. She also explored the very real invisible realities of childhood story and how shadow behaviours in high stake situations can impede constructive dialogue. Between us we shared our own childhood stories and the work it takes to re-narrate internal narratives.    Noteworthy points of discussion Sarah ‘s interest and passion for change and generative dialogue came after a chance meeting with an organisation called Prison Dialogue. There she witnessed the power of these processes to exercise change even in tough cultures.  Exposed to the work of David Kantor and her PhD “Separate Lives silenced voices” is a theme through all of her work  Sarah referenced the podcast I had with Dr. Paul Lawrence, episode 13 where he explored Structural Dynamics with me  Sarah illuminated the 4 different levels of Structural Dynamics Level One: speaks to our action propensities in conversation through four different acts, the move, the follow, oppose and the bystander Level Two: These are the operating rules governing our behaviour, open, closed or random Level Three: describes the communication domain we use or attend to and they include, Power which is about action or task, Affect is about intimacy or a focus on relationship, Meaning is about sense making, thought or knowledge    Level Four: relates to your childhood story that is often invisible If I were to self-assess using this model, I might consider that I am naturally inclined towards Move/Random/Meaning/ Sarah shared her story about being uncomfortable with oppose having been in a family dynamic where oppose was used and where for Sarah as a child it was dangerous to oppose or be opposed. That was her internal narrative  In high stakes we can react in ways that are embarrassing & shaming. Often something else is playing out behind the shadow behaviour, a fear or old narrative that is now not helpful The work involves understanding what happens in high stakes, what are the triggers that induce shadow behaviour? what are the themes or fears that lie behind our behaviour in high stakes? what are some of our formative experiences? The work is not to dwell on the story but to recraft a new narrative, knowing that the story does not change Structural Dynamics helps to make the invisible visible. It provides a way to understand what might be appearing in conversation and why often there exist model clashes between individuals on teams or in organisations  Structural Dynamics is very proactive. It equips teams to change the nature of their discourses by having a common language to explore together.  Sarah is of the mind that the work of Structural Dynamics and the associated behavioural change work necessary is still not central enough on teams  Sarah appreciates that to do the work teams need to slow down to speed up.       Website:www.dialogix.co.uk The Tao of Dialogue by Paul Lawrence and Sarah Hill  Reading the Room by David Kantor   Dialogue the art of thinking together by William Isaacs  Where did you learn to behave like that?
