Send us a textLet's be honest—some of the equipment we run into on route looks like it's been holding on since the '80s. In this episode, I'm talking all about undersized and outdated pool equipment—how to work around it, when to push for an upgrade, and how to communicate the value of modernizing without sounding pushy. Whether it's an old single-speed pump or a tiny filter choking a 25,000-gallon pool, I'll share tips I've picked up in the field to make these tough setups a little easier—and help you build trust with your customers while nudging them toward a better system.Support the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Before she decided to become a poker pro, Maria Konnikova didn't know how many cards are in a deck. But she did have a Ph.D. in psychology, a brilliant coach, and a burning desire to know whether life is driven more by skill or chance. She found some answers in poker — and she's willing to tell us everything she learned. SOURCES:Maria Konnikova, author of The Biggest Bluff. RESOURCES:“Gender Differences in Performance Predictions: Evidence from the Cognitive Reflection Test,” by Patrick Ring, Levent Neyse, Tamas David-Barett, and Ulrich Schmidt (Frontiers in Psychology, 2016).“The headwinds/tailwinds Asymmetry: An Availability Bias in Assessments of Barriers and Blessings,” by Shai Davidai and Thomas Gilovich (Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2016).“The Two Settings of Kind and Wicked Learning Environments,” by Robin M.

In this electrifying episode of the "Shark Theory," host Baylor Barbee tugs at the strings of limiting beliefs and unleashes the secret to reaching new heights. Inspired by the quiet speed of electric cars, Baylor delves into the lessons we learn from disassociating sound from speed and how this applies to our personal and professional lives. He challenges listeners to untangle the false pairings that hold them back and propel forward with a newfound sense of freedom. Baylor emphasizes that just as electric cars travel swiftly in silence, we too can achieve remarkable progress when we detach ourselves from outdated beliefs and unnecessary dependencies, like needing a large following to start a business or technology to maintain fitness routines. The episode is a masterclass in identifying and cutting these metaphorical ropes, similar to the story of the tethered elephant, opening doors to limitless potential. Baylor's insights encourage listeners to reflect on their own limitations and prepare to break through them with enthusiasm and determination. Key Takeaways: Disassociate Limiting Beliefs: Break the mental pairings that associate certain accomplishments with unnecessary dependencies to unlock your potential. Quiet Progress: Just as electric cars move quietly and efficiently, you can achieve success without needing external validation or noise. Evaluate Your Tethers: Identify and sever the ties that hold you back; like a helium balloon, you have the potential to reach great heights. Embrace Change: Reassess past experiences and recognize that growth and change have altered your capabilities and opportunities. Reflect on Self-Limitations: Challenge yourself to rethink why you think you "can't" do things and reframe those narratives for growth. Notable Quotes: "When you take away the sound, I don't feel like I'm going that fast." "We create all of these scenarios to tell ourselves why we can't do something." "Ask yourself, what is it that's preventing you from getting to the next level?" "Just because people don't see what you're doing doesn't mean you're not working." "Cut the ties of what's been holding you back so you can reach new heights."

In this episode, grazing expert and longtime SGF columnist Jim Gerrish shares decades of experience transforming worn-out cropland into productive pasture using adaptive grazing—not chemicals. The episode explores Jim's approach to pasture renovation, weed control, and animal performance, emphasizing observation, timing, and biological principles over conventional inputs. Jim discusses practical strategies for improving pasture health, including managing pH, building soil biology, and introducing species diversity. He also reflects on the importance of listening—to your animals, your forage, and your own common sense.

Our culture prizes logic and rationality, if not above all else, as two of the most fundamental social traits. But are we missing out by overlooking the irrational? Can logic explain everything, or what is it missing? And is it possible to live (and enjoy) a life led by logic?Logic, in philosophy and beyond, seems to always to be self-evidently right. Join our three eminent panellists as they variously challenge this assumption and expose the holes in logic's seemingly perfect facade. Iain McGilchrist is a philosopher, neuroscientist, and psychiatrist known for his book The Master and His Emissary. Beatrix Campbell is a writer and activist, especially in the field of women's liberation. Simon Blackburn is a philosopher working especially on metaethics and the philosophy of language.

Send us a textLet's get honest—are commercial pool accounts really worth the effort? In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on commercial service from a small business perspective. I'll talk about the pros, the major pitfalls, and why I've chosen to focus on residential work instead. From low margins to endless inspections and payment delays, this is the real talk I wish someone had given me when I started out.Support the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Ben and Brent reset on the Blue Jays to start their second hour with a look ahead to the MLB trade deadline. The hosts discuss what the team could add and at what cost, while sifting through some of the top names on the 2025 trade board. They focus on one marquee name out there, two-time Cy Young winner Jacob DeGrom, and question what the asking price would seemingly be. Later, Ben and Brent shift gears to chat about Gavin McKenna, projected top pick in the 2026 NHL Draft, and his decision to sign with Penn State for the upcoming NCAA season. Gord Stellick (24:37), former GM turned NHL analyst, takes a look at the Maple Leafs' offseason thus far, what Brad Treliving has done, what's still on the table, and the main roster differences from last year to the present.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

In 1935, 12-year-old Lillian Gobitas and her little brother William were kicked out of their Pennsylvania public school — not for misbehaving, but for quietly refusing to salute the flag, which they believed went against their Jehovah's Witness faith. Their dad sued, arguing the school had violated their right to religious freedom. But in a sweeping decision, the Supreme Court sided with the school, saying national unity outweighed First Amendment protections. The ruling sparked a wave of violence against Jehovah's Witnesses across the country, and fueled criticism the Court had abandoned core constitutional rights.

Andrew Isenberg joins Ben Jones again to discuss his new book, "The Age of the Borderlands: Indians, Slaves and the Limits of Manifest Destiny."

At the Second Annual Morehouse CANDLE Lecture and Forum, under the theme “Pushing the Limits of Education: Pedagogy for the 21st Century,” the documentary “Belonging Beyond Brown” prompted deep reflection on themes such as education, self-determination, class, race, and culture. The discussion reminds us that an Africana Studies framework offers a model for renewing African humanity and helping to link us to the global shift away from European-centered ideologies. This framework emphasizes unity among African people through education, governance, and historical flow and continuity, enabling the ability to overcome limitations imposed by white supremacy. By grounding ourselves in our own knowledge systems, African people can move toward true liberation, benefiting not only our own communities but humanity as a whole. Models of learning rooted in Africana Studies are crucial for African people to engage fully in the transformation of the global order in an increasingly multipolar, culturally plural world.JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this compelling episode, I sit down with integrative medicine pioneer Dr. Jeffrey Dach, MD, to explore his holistic, science-backed approach to fighting cancer. Drawing from his powerful book The Cancer Toolkit, Dr. Dach explains the core mechanisms behind cancer development and progression, and the multifaceted toolkit he uses to address it, from off-label pharmaceuticals and checkpoint inhibitors, to nutritional protocols, repurposed drugs, and targeted supplements. We also break down the three key cellular pathways that go awry in cancer, how to support the body's natural defenses, and why addressing the root cause—not just the tumor—is essential for long-term remission and recovery.  Topics We Cover: Dr. Dach's integrative and functional approach to cancer treatment Key drivers of cancer: inflammation, angiogenesis, metabolic dysfunction The most promising off-label drugs (e.g., metformin, mebendazole, statins) Why the Warburg effect matters—and how to target it Supplements with strong anti-cancer evidence Checkpoint inhibitors and immune activation Building a multi-modal protocol for better outcomes Patient empowerment and the future of cancer care  COMING SOON: Don't miss Part 2 of this interview, where we dive into Dr. Dach's newest book Bioidentical Hormones 101, and his trailblazing protocols for restoring hormonal health safely and naturally. Whether you're a practitioner, patient, or someone interested in cancer prevention, this episode delivers a deep dive into truly transformative insights.

To unlock your company's full potential, it's essential to prioritize effectively while keeping an eye on future growth amidst everyday demands.    You're bombarded with advice, ideas, data, and they all can be urgent — but the actions chosen underpin your company's relevance and growth. It is up to you to decide what is practical and pragmatic and prioritize those actions. Leading with limits is crucial for your business.   Ideas, plans, ROI expectations are all part of the beginning. Once decisions are made, everyone gets moving — without knowing what the end looks like. Start adding endings before implementation begins. Without endings, even the best-run teams fall short and don't quite make it to the finish (because there isn't one!).   The outcomes of a growth strategy hinge on what we choose to prioritize. Our priorities reflect our values, and these values shape our work culture. Our achievements multiply when we deepen our understanding of each other and how we collaborate.   In this program, you will learn the power of using “no” as a boundary, why to create endings to achieve more, and why Present Retreat™ is the most powerful strategic tool amidst daily demands. Jess Dewell, Managing Partner at Red Direction and your host, shares with you why it is BOLD to focus on doing as much impactful as possible.   Here's what to expect:  Boundaries are important, and saying NO is a crucial boundary. Quick changes and our never-ending to-do lists often lead to burnout. Strategies for managing too many good ideas. The Present Retreat: a powerful strategic tool at your disposal. Focus on impactful work — now and in the near future, balancing both interest and influence.   By making small shifts, you can create lasting positive impacts that build on the work you've already accomplished while leveraging existing skills and strengths.    If you recognize that you're already steering the direction of your company's future, this is the moment to pay attention — your breakthrough moments for future growth can come from making intentional choices among the wealth of ideas and advice surrounding you. —-----------------   If you want to identify business bottlenecks, the necessary skills, the initial actions to take, the expected milestones, and the priorities for achieving growth, try the “Growth Framework Reset“ approach. This will help you keep learning and growing while working strategically on your business. -------------------- You can get in touch with Jess Dewell on Twitter,  LinkedIn or Red Direction website.

The U.S. Supreme Court didn't rule on the constitutionality of birthright citizenship, a legal challenge closely watched by Native Americans. But their related decision in that case significantly changes the current practice in how all Americans can keep the federal government, corporations, and others from continuing actions with questionable constitutionality. We'll review what's at stake in the fight over birthright citizenship and how the High Court's ruling preventing further nationwide injunctions will alter how lawyers tackle Native issues from now on. We'll also learn about a legal settlement in Montana that aims to ensure schools adequately teach Native American history.

The Busy Beaver Challenge, an open online collaboration, started in 2022 to finally solve a major problem in theoretical computer science. Over time, the online community grew to include more than 20 contributors from around the world, most of them without traditional academic credentials. In July 2024, the group announced that they finally solved the puzzle, bringing a conclusion to over 40 years of effort. On this week's episode of The Quanta Podcast, computer science staff writer Ben Brubaker explains the tantalizing Busy Beaver puzzle, which he covered in depth last year, in “With Fifth Busy Beaver, Researchers Approach Computation's Limits.” Each week on The Quanta Podcast, Quanta Magazine editor in chief Samir Patel speaks with the minds behind the award-winning publication to navigate through some of the most important and mind-expanding questions in science and math.

In this episode of Passing Judgment, Jessica breaks down the Supreme Court's two most significant cases of the term. First, she examines the Court's ruling that sharply limits federal judges' ability to issue nationwide injunctions, especially in the context of challenges to executive orders like those affecting birthright citizenship. The episode then moves to the Supreme Court's decision upholding Tennessee's ban on certain gender-affirming care for minors. Jessica explains how the Court sided with state power, applying a deferential standard of review, and contrasts this with the dissent's focus on equal protection for transgender youth.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:Limits on Judicial Power: The Supreme Court, in a 6–3 decision authored by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, ruled that federal judges generally cannot issue nationwide injunctions unless Congress clearly authorizes it. This shifts significant power dynamic back to individual cases and underscores the role of Congress in expanding judicial remedies.Nuanced Exceptions Remain: Despite the new limits, broad relief is still possible through class actions, certain state-led cases, and challenges under the Administrative Procedures Act. These pathways ensure there are still tools to address sweeping executive actions, though access is more restricted.Transgender Rights Under Scrutiny: In the Skrmetti case, the Court upheld Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors, framing the law as a neutral regulation based on age and medical use—not sex or transgender status. Dissenting justices warn this approach threatens protections for vulnerable groups and diminishes the judiciary's role as a check on legislative overreach.Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica

Ever notice how being certain about something can feel really good? You've got the answer. You're confident in your decision. You know exactly what's going on. But here's the catch: when we're sure we're right, we stop thinking. We stop questioning. And without realizing it, we stop seeing all the other options we could be considering. In this episode, Ramona unpacks the sneaky way certainty can box in our thinking and why it's often the very thing holding smart, capable leaders back from their next level of growth. What we'll talk about:- Why the moment you feel most certain is often the moment you stop seeing clearly- How invisible assumptions shape your decisions (and limit your leadership)- Simple questions to re-open your thinking- Why real growth doesn't come from trying to be right, but from trying to remain curiousIf this resonates, check it out on our YouTube. — RESOURCES MENTIONED — - Grab the free New Manager Toolkit mentioned in the episode: archova.org/freetoolkits- Executive Presence Intensive: archova.org/executive-presence-program/- Learn how to turn your 1-on-1 meetings from time wasters, awkward moments, status updates, or non-existent into your most important and valuable meeting with your directs all week.

Send us a textIn this episode, I chat with Baker Rogers and Mattilyn Kortney, co-owners of Queer Have Books in Colombia, South Carolina.Nestled in Columbia's historic Arcade Mall, this cozy 680-square-foot sanctuary defines queer not just as gender and sexual identity but as active resistance against all forms of discrimination. The shelves hold carefully curated collections addressing LGBTQ+ experiences alongside works on anti-racism, feminism, and social justice, creating a space where intersectionality isn't just acknowledged but celebrated.What makes Queer Haven remarkable is how it thrives despite challenging political circumstances. While South Carolina faces potential legislation that could lead to widespread book bans, the shop has leaned into controversy by prominently featuring banned titles. "We have people come in here every day saying 'I've got to get this before it's sold out,'" Baker shares, noting the irony that censorship attempts have actually boosted interest in these books.Beyond retail, Queer Haven functions as a vibrant community center. In its first year as a brick-and-mortar location, it hosted an impressive 160 events, ranging from book clubs and writing workshops to drag story hours and queer comedy nights. In a world increasingly dominated by algorithm-driven recommendations and instant delivery, Queer Haven Books represents something profoundly different: human connection, thoughtful curation, and a physical space where marginalized voices are centered rather than silenced. It's not just about selling books—it's about creating community one page at a time.This episode is brought to you by Saturn Press.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, I, Stewart Alsop, sit down with returning guest Brian Ahuja to explore a thought-provoking idea he's been stewing on—could we one day build a robot capable of true partner dancing? From the biomechanics of salsa to the possibilities of AI embodiment, we unpack what it would take to engineer fluid, responsive movement and how that intersects with everything from artificial muscles to the intimacy of tactile feedback. We also touch on Brian's long-term vision for a potential lab or foundation to tackle this challenge. You can follow Brian and future developments on Twitter @brianahuja.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 – Brian Ahuja returns to discuss AI embodiment, sparked by his experience in ballroom dance and curiosity about translating physical intelligence into robotics.05:00 – They explore robotics in partner dancing, touching on the difference between choreographed motion and improvisational, responsive movement.10:00 – Brian breaks down human biomechanics, emphasizing that hip motion in dances like salsa originates from knees and feet—not the hips directly.15:00 – The conversation shifts to balance, proprioception, and ocular reflexes, linking them to movement stability in dance.20:00 – They compare robot vs. human movement, noting robots' jerky motions and the absence of muscle-based initiation.25:00 – The need for haptic feedback is discussed, with Brian detailing how partner dancing depends on tactile signals and real-time response.30:00 – They touch on robotic form factors, questioning whether humanoid robots are the best approach and pondering the design of artificial muscles.35:00 – Brian proposes the idea of the Ahuja Test, gauging if a robot can move so fluidly it's indistinguishable from a human, using dance as the standard.Key InsightsPartner Dancing as a Frontier for Robotics: Brian Ahuja proposes that partner dancing could be a benchmark for robotic embodiment, where success would indicate a robot's ability to replicate fluid, responsive human movement. This task is far more complex than solo choreography—it requires real-time tactile feedback, improvisation, and nuanced physical communication.Movement Origin in Humans vs. Robots: A critical difference lies in how movement is generated. Human motion begins with muscle contraction, not at the joints. Robots, however, typically initiate movement at joint points, missing the layered interplay of muscles, tendons, and fascia that create smooth, lifelike motion.Haptic Feedback and Improvisation: Real partner dancing involves subtle cues, like pressure through fingertips, to signal direction and timing. For a robot to follow or lead a dance, it would need a highly sensitive haptic feedback system capable of interpreting and responding to these nonverbal signals in real time.The Limits of Current Robotics: Even with advanced robots like the Tesla bot, current movement still appears jerky and lacks the fluidity needed for partner dancing. The mechanical design—especially the lack of artificial musculature—may impose fundamental limits on how closely robots can mimic human motion.Applications Beyond Dance: The implications of this inquiry stretch beyond dance into fields like physical therapy, elder care, and domestic robotics. A robot that could move like a human could handle tasks requiring adaptability, precision, and physical sensitivity.Vision and Systems Thinking: Brian frames the challenge as a systems problem that might start with a lab or foundation. He emphasizes not needing to do everything alone, recognizing the value of building knowledge iteratively through conversations, research, and community.The Ahuja Test: Inspired by the Turing Test, Brian coins the idea of the “Ahuja Test”—a way to measure if a robot can move indistinguishably from a human. He suggests partner dancing could serve as the ultimate proving ground for such a test, given its demand for embodied intelligence and nuanced coordination.
