Podcasts about Litmus test

Most producers claim they want to dominate in 2026, but they are waiting for permission. They wait for the "perfect time" to invest in themselves, or worse, they wait to see if their "boss will pay for it." This mindset is a one-way ticket to mediocrity. If you aren't willing to bet on yourself when the chips are down, why should anyone else?In this special joint episode, I am joined by my own mindset and performance coach, Christina Lecuyer. We strip away the fluff and deliver the hard truths you need to hear before the new year. We discuss why high achievers struggle so much with self-worth, the danger of waiting for a "guaranteed ROI" before taking action, and why confidence isn't a feeling - it's a muscle you build by keeping promises to yourself. This is the wake-up call you need to stop playing small.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callhttps://calendly.com/aneary/strategy-sessionKEY MOMENTS(00:00:00) Bet On Yourself: The Mindset You Need to Win in 2026 (00:03:48) The Moment I Stopped Playing Small (00:06:45) Why Money Without Health is Failure (00:18:19) The High Achiever's Curse: Perfectionism vs. Progress (00:24:36) The Litmus Test: "Will My Boss Pay For It?" (00:33:00) Confidence is a Muscle You Build, Not a FeelingCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

Spookies, there's no better way to celebrate a season finale than with some serious discourse, so we figured it was about time we get into American Psycho (2000). This flick has had a major impact on pop culture over the years — but it also might be one of the most misunderstood pieces of media. For our final episode of Season 5, we decided to wade into the fray as we break down director Mary Harron's commentary, discuss commitment king Christian Bale's performance, and really take a magnifying glass to the details on those iconic business cards.

The broadcast frames the ongoing saga of Kilmar Abrego Garcia as a crucial political test for the Democratic party. Despite facing human smuggling charges and documented allegations of MS-13 gang affiliation, the Salvadoran national is being championed by prominent Democratic politicians and activists. The speaker argues that this support reveals the party's true strategy: relying on illegal immigration as a means to build their voting base. The commentary highlights the legal and ethical questions surrounding the case, including Abrego Garcia's argument that he cannot be deported to El Salvador due to rival gang threats, and a GoFundMe campaign demanding his release. The segment also touches on the political implications of the case, linking the "fight for Saint Kilmar" to a broader struggle for the future of the United States.

In today's episode, Colleen peels back the curtain on one of the most radical shifts we can make: recognizing that we are not our thoughts—we're the observer behind them. What starts as a reflection on managing the energy in your body becomes a masterclass in emotional authorship, reminding us that our thoughts, not our circumstances, are what create our lived reality. Using the metaphor of a self-driving car, Colleen breaks down how most of us are unconsciously letting outdated programming steer our lives. But it doesn't have to be that way. When you take back the wheel—choosing how you want to feel and filtering your thoughts through that emotional compass—you begin to rewrite the narrative of your life, one aligned action at a time. This episode is both a wake-up call and a permission slip: to believe what feels good, let go of what causes suffering, and trust that healing your inner world is how you change the outer one. If you've ever wondered whether it's really possible to feel free, peaceful, and powerful in your own skin—this is your answer.

Uncork Capital Partner Amy Saper shares practical advice for early-stage founders building AI-enabled tools for engineering, product, and design teams, or as she describes them, "products that make you not want to quit your job." Drawing on her experience in product marketing at Twitter, Uber, and Stripe, she explains why storytelling is an underrated founder skill, how to refine your ideal customer profile, and why it's good to reverse-engineer a roadmap from your Series A goals.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 21, 2025 is: litmus test • LIT-mus-TEST • noun A litmus test is something (such as an opinion about a political or moral issue) that is used to make a judgment about whether someone or something is acceptable. // At our family's Thanksgiving dinner, the litmus test for good mac and cheese is whether or not it is baked. See the entry > Examples: “The audience in a Broadway show can be intoxicating, and it's like a litmus test. If a joke doesn't land one night, you tell it differently the next night. It's terrifying, on set, to have no idea if something is working.” — Erika Henningsen, quoted in The Hollywood Reporter, 1 May 2025 Did you know? It was in the 14th century that scientists discovered that litmus, a mixture of colored organic compounds obtained from lichen, turns red in acid solutions and blue in alkaline solutions and, thus, can be used as an acid-base indicator. Six centuries later, people began using litmus test figuratively. It can now refer to any single factor that establishes the true character of something or causes something to be assigned to one category or another. Often it refers to something (such as an opinion about a political or moral issue) that can be used to make a judgment about whether someone or something is acceptable or not.

Drawing a parallel to a scientific test, this business application is presented as a way for contractors to gauge their readiness, alignment, and ability to perform under pressure, particularly when interacting with customers. Eric and his circle's discussion focuses on role-playing with peers as a key method for conducting this test, allowing individuals to receive honest feedback on their communication skills, tonality, and overall approach. The conversation also highlights the importance of a contractor's license as a form of initial qualification and the need to assess both the contractor and the potential client for suitability. Ultimately, regular "testing" through practice and peer review is emphasized as crucial for preventative maintenance and continuous improvement in the contracting profession. Key Takeaways: Regularly practice through role playing or similar tests to sharpen your skills and improve how you handle pressure. Listen actively to fully understand your customers' needs and build connection. Seek and accept honest feedback from peers or mentors to identify and correct your weaknesses. Consistent training and practice is preventative maintenance that helps you avoid slipping up and losing potential jobs. Ensure your business is fully licensed and insured and be ready to demonstrate your credibility to clients.

Instead, a deep fundamental basis that connects repo, interest rates foundations, global banks, and the recent deflationary developments. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro AnalysisBloomberg Traders View Treasury Auctions as Litmus Test for Foreign Buyershttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-23/us-treasury-auctions-offer-latest-clues-on-foreign-buyers-strikehttps://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDU
